WP:AN/3
You said that User:Twsx made no violation which is not true. He has been warned many times and continued to edit war. He reported me a while ago for doing the same thing (when I was in the wrong) and I was blocked. I think Twsx deserves the same as he will continue to edit war. He will not stop edit warring. Where do I report this, if not at AN/3? Blizzard Beast  ''$ODIN' 18:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * WP:ANI, if you still feel it's worth pursuing. --  tariq abjotu  18:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

New mailing list
There has been a mailing list created for Wikipedians in the New York metropolitan area (list: Wikimedia NYC). Please consider joining it!  Cbrown1023   talk   21:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Please cancel an edit violating The 3RR

 * 1) Some days ago, an editor made this edit.
 * 2) On 23 February, at 5:15, the same editor has made his first revert.
 * 3) On the same day, at 22:23, the same editor made his second revert.
 * 4) On that very day, at 22:57, the same editor made his third revert.
 * 5) On the same day, at 23:26, the same editor made his fourth revert.

Please cancel his fourth revert - which violates 3RR. No need to warn him, because I'm sure it was not done on purpose! He's an honest person who is absolutely aware to the 3RR and has always obeyed the 3RR. Eliko (talk) 01:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have protected the article instead. --  tariq abjotu  02:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't reject your idea to protect the article, but the last version you've protected is mistakenly the fourth revert - which violates the 3RR! Please undo the fourth (illegal) revert. Thank you. Eliko (talk) 06:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No. --  tariq abjotu  12:45, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * My request on the noticeboard was removed (not archived but rather: removed), so I referred to other admins who may see the objective problem.
 * Why did you remove the {editprotected} template from my request on the article talk page? I don't want my request to be presented partly. Please put back the template, or remove my request wholly from the talk page. Choose either alternative, but I don't want my request to be presented partly, because presenting my request partly - does not reflect my request.
 * I didn't ask you to undo the "wrong" version (since nobody can determine that previous versions are "better"), but rather to undo the illegal version - which violates the 3RR. Hope you see now what I mean. Eliko (talk) 15:03, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You don't need to double-, triple-, and quadruple-post everything you say for your comments to get noticed. People have lives outside of Wikipedia; they'll respond to your messages when they return. The reason your 3RR was removed was because, as Andrew has already said on your talk page, your report was formatting incorrectly. Take a look at the version of AN3 with your report. Look and your report at the bottom, and look at just about every other report on that page. Note also that you deleted the sample report at the bottom that included the template for how to post reports properly. Okay, so, case closed.


 * I removed the editprotected template on the talk page of the article because you're canvassing and because your request has been and will be continuously rejected. Your demand that I either remove your entire request or restore the edit protected is wrong; I am not compelled to take either of those routes and, in fact, I believe the one I took is most preferred.


 * There is nothing "illegal" about the current version of the article. Now, drop this please. --  tariq abjotu  22:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I've responded on my talk page. Eliko (talk) 23:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Naughty article! Go to the corner!
I haven't noticed any article being sanctioned or blocked. -- SEWilco (talk) 01:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It's called article probation, and it's applied to Jewish lobby and Liancourt Rocks, among others. --  tariq abjotu  02:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Your phrasing says that articles are subject to sanctions. Editors get sanctions.  -- SEWilco (talk) 02:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I know my phrasing suggests that -- and that was the intention. Articles are subject to sanctions: article probation. --  tariq abjotu  02:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

re: "Religion of peace"
You are, of course, right. I should have remembered that in making my comments. I am actually impressed at how both sides have handled the images debate thus far. Not nearly as many hotheads on either side as I would have expected. Resolute 22:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance
This Arbitration case is closed and the final decision has been published at the link above. is prohibited from editing articles relating to medieval or ancient history for a period of one year. He is permitted to make suggestions on talk pages, provided that he interacts with other editors in a civil fashion. PHG is reminded that in contributing to Wikipedia (including his talkpage contributions, contributions in other subject-matter areas, and contributions after the one-year editing restriction has expired), it is important that all sourced edits must fairly and accurately reflect the content of the cited work taken as a whole. PHG is also reminded that Wikipedia is a collaborative project and it is essential that all editors work towards compromise and a neutral point of view in a good-faith fashion. When one editor finds themselves at odds with most other editors on a topic, it can be disruptive to continue repeating the same argument. After suggestions have been properly considered and debated, and possible options considered, if a consensus is clear, the collegial and cooperative thing to do is to acknowledge the consensus, and move on to other debates.

PHG is encouraged to continue contributing to Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects in other ways, including by suggesting topics for articles, making well-sourced suggestions on talkpages, and continuing to contribute free-content images to Wikimedia Commons.

For the Arbitration committee, Thatcher 01:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Artisol2345's sockpuppet
Anyways Are you sure, how you found out this was Artisol2345's sockpuppet. Did you check his e-mail address, what about if that account could be his brother or sister, or his father haveyou thought about that? Anony IPs 75 xxxabc keep driving me around bugging everyone about people accusing him about sockpuppet. Most people have roommates, and same computer can be share with more than one person. Like mom and dads can also be contrib on Wiki, and their 3 sons might have their own account while parents has their own account. That way is not a sockpuppet. A sockpuppet is one person with like 4 or 5 or more account. Lets pretend one person has account of Route 5, then Orange-County 5, or 405 guy, or LAX 505. Thats sockpuppet, they are not real users just examples.-- Freewayguy ( Webmail ) 18:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of state terrorism by the United States
Re: Allegations of state terrorism by the United States. I've unprotected this. We've had problems with a lot of abusive socks (e.g. Supergreenred, now indef blocked, whose edits Travb restored. There are now enough sensible people around that the page can be edited, if disruptive editors are kept back William M. Connolley (talk) 20:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have requested that the page be protected again, Connolley's definition of "sensible" = "people who share me own POV", as an admin who is deeply involved in this dispute, connolley abused his authority twice, once by blocking me when he is involved in the dispute, and again by unprotecting the page. There has been an RfC called over this. I would encourage you to reprotect this page. Inclusionist (talk) 23:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

User blanking the statement reporting that he was blocked
Hi , A user you blocked on wp:en (and who has recencly been blocked on wp:fr) deleted on his wp:en talk page the statement reporting that he was blocked by you. I don't know the policy on wp:en.

Commas on Template:ITN
Thank you! Geodyde (talk) 20:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It happens that I came here to thank you for the same thing; I don't undertake any longer to raise such issues at WP:ERRORS&mdash;I recognize that most view them as trivial&mdash;but I was altogether happy to find that you'd remedied an error the several days' presence of which had been a bit irksome to me.
