Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:07, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Useitorloseit reported by User:NorthBySouthBaranof (Result: ). Thank you.

Would you like to self-revert this edit, which is well beyond 3RR, or would you prefer I go ahead and block your account? —C.Fred (talk) 00:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your offer, and I am happy to, if you please just explain one thing: why isn't Gamaliel the one who's guilty of 3RR violations? He had 3 in 20 Feb., before me. I am not a troll; i honestly believe the other user is the problem.

The bright-line is making more than three reverts; Gamaliel stopped at three. —C.Fred (talk) 01:06, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about the 3RR. Do what you like about the edit. But I believe the other editors didn't behave in a way at all encouraging to new members, and they should have since they've been here a while. I was never a troll and added the line in good faith and it wasn't worth deleting endlessly.

After the third time it was removed, you needed to discuss the matter on the talk page and reach a consensus, not keep edit-warring and adding it back in. —C.Fred (talk) 01:22, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Please note Gamaliel reported me to the BLP noticeboard ("generally dealing with...libelous or defamatory material"). I believe it was clearly an attempt to shut down an edit they just didn't like, by making false accusations about it. The Talk page was the appropriate place, not calling in admins. So much for WP policy about being welcoming. Perhaps you could speak to them about it.

Concerns about other conduct

Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this user abused Wikipedia process by making a clearly unjustified allegation on the BLP Noticeboard about "potential infringing". I would like a Wikipedia admin to evaluate whether that user made a false claim in the hopes of shutting down a debate they didn't want to have. This user seems to have a history of such tactics.

The initial report on BLP/N looks in order to me. It was neutrally written and does not appear, on the face of it, to be unjustified. —C.Fred (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for considering my request. I believe the discussion could have been given a chance before being raised to a reporting issue.

Where?

Please identify where this is actually supported [1]. There is no hits for "abuse" none of the hits for "2006" or "2009" are related to the claim. Yes, it talks about administration and admins, but I see nothing at all in the source that supports the claim as it appears in the article -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:44, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is more appropriate to discuss this on the page's Talk page, rather than my personal page.

fine then, make your response there. Talk:Criticism_of_Wikipedia#Claims_not_verified -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:09, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
