Observation of Canvassing by Mercy11
I observe the actions of Mercy11 as being suspiciously like canvassing Hasteur (talk) 20:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * So, you went to drama central (WP:ANI) to raise hell because a user posted in a neutral language in a related wiki project and members of it? Classic move. Lets be thankful that Wikipedia has raised millions of dollars so we can have our virtual playground with the type of  bureaucracy only found in a Kafka novel. --Jmundo (talk) 21:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I wish to make known that I wandered into this AFD from WP:AN. I have not reported this AFD to any notice board at this time. I was only making an observation that Mercy11 dropped almost the exact same notice on many different people's talk pages, some of which had no readily appearant reason to be interested in this AfD.  When many of them have shown up to express a Keep oppinion I begin to wonder if canvasing has occured. Hasteur (talk) 22:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

THIS REPLY is for Hasteur. In fact, I want to make it clear these lines are not for the closing admin who you, Hasteur, have so painstakingly invited to this Talk Page in order to influence his decision:

Some editors fail to tell the difference between "canvassing" and "appropriate notification". Please forgive my frankness but you are one of those editors. You failed to note that the actions involved a neutral offering of participation that was both nonpartisan and open for the world to see all while directed to a very limited number of wikipedians. As the guidelines indicate, my actions were polite, neutrally worded with a neutral title, clear in presentation, brief, and did not use a bot to send messages to multiple pages. I could go on but I won't -- I think you got the point: There is nothing there that comes close to what Wikipedia's concept of "canvassing" is. Inform yourself with the facts before going around making false accussations. Again, please forgive my frankness, but I see your "canvassing" characterization as an expression of frustration over the unavoidable outcome of this AFD.

So you wandered into the Centro del Sur AFD from WP:AN? Bullshit. Look, I have wandered into AFDs before, and what happens is that I give an opinion and move on. No one wanders and then starts up a never-ending fight with several other editors, and on top of that raises hell at WP:ANI, and then on top of that still raises more hell by creating a separate thread into this Discussion page where he can have the closing admin as his own captive audience. It just doesn't happen. Who do you think you are fooling with that claim? Closing admins are not fools, they would know you are trying to influence their decision in your favor. So the only one you are fooling is yourself. Please forgive my frankness once again, but I pity your motives. And, in closing, do not bother to reply; I am not interested in carrying on an endless, fruitless discussion with you. My name is Mercy11 (talk) 04:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC), and I approve this message.
