Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User:Commodore Sloat

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment/User conduct, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 21:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).



Users should only edit one summary or view, other than to endorse.

Statement of the dispute
This user has accused me of being Islamophobic and fails to accept that his remarks violate Wikipedia policy.

Desired outcome
I would like this user to be blocked from editing Wikipedia for one week and watched for further violations of the policies listed below.

Description
I raised notability concerns on the talk page of a Wikipedia article by listing relevant notability criteria point by point and asking other interested editors to discuss.

Commodore Sloat replied with an assumption of bad faith: "I'm not going to fight about this with someone who appears to be bent on making a case against it" quickly followed up with comments regarding my motivations in violation of WP:AGF.

He later described my initial notability discussion above as "tendentious claims about a lack of notability".

Later, he left a note on my user page accusing me of Islamophobia User talk:Bigglove in violation of WP:NPA.

He defended his accusation of Islamophobia becuase of what he calls the, "hypocrisy of launching a full-fledged jihad on a community newspaper entry while leaving virtually untouched another community newspaper entry that suffers from exactly the same problem you think this one suffers from." He earlier accused me of "hypocritical jihad" citing evidence that I did not raise similar concerns about two Jewish papers: The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles and The Forward.

This kind of flawed logic is hardly the basis on which to justify attacking another editor as a hater of an entire religious group.
