I think he's using Wikipedia as a political soapbox. You may wanna comment on this: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Wikipedia_is_not_a_political_soapbox] [[User:KarenAER|KarenAER]] 22:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC) |

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Lyndon LaRouche, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.
Hello
(just to clarify). I haven't read the article, nor the reverts, nor is it my desire to.
With respect to 3RR, if an editor makes consecutive edits, they are typically counted as a single edit. So, if you revert sentences A, B, C and D, in consecutive edits 1,2,3 and 4 respectively, it is generally treated as a single edit.
A similar case could be made for non-consecutive edits, if they fall within a short time span and if the intermingling editor is not one with whom you are conflicting and is not who reported you. Though, admittedly that would be a more difficult defense to make, as it requires a detailed analysis and is often opinion-based (not clear cut).
Also, though I understand the desire to establish a pattern or history, 3RR violations are often complicated (confusing) enough, due to content change, that including reverts beyond a 24 hour window, tends to weigh against the complaint rather than the offender. (Unless the reverts are very clearly warring and preferably with multiple editors).
Take it from someone who edits articles with a very contentious revert-warrior, no matter how clear the 3RR violation is to you, a) it isn't always clear to an outsider and b) it isn't always an actual violation.
Hopefully this helps. Though it may not be what you hoped to hear.

Holocaust
The rollback guideline for admins requires that we inform people if we intend to use rollback for anything other than vandalism. This is to inform you that I regard your edits to The Holocaust as disruptive and verging on vandalism (e.g. referring to the Holocaust as an "eradication project," and arguing that "mass murder" is POV) so I intend to rollback any non-constructive ones without further discussion.

- If you can help to produce a high quality piece of writing, as others are trying to, you're of course welcome to edit it. Otherwise, please allow others to get on with it. It's too important a topic to be messed around with. SlimVirgin (talk) 23:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
New signature
Testing sig. -- fourdeeᛇᚹᛟ 13:47, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- How about -- fourdeeᛇᚹᛟ 13:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Unicode is sweet. My font seems to be missing a couple cool ones I'd like to use though. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 13:53, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Just to explain - it's something I "heard whispered in my ear" (product of my imagination) while I was playing by a stream when I was about 12. The names of the letters separately, not as a word - like an initialism. However it's not meant an initialism for anything. Just a bit of silliness from simpler days that's dear to me. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 13:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- What is the signature supposed to look like? (For me, in firefox it's three question marks, and in internet explorer it's three squares) Bladestorm 15:10, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess most people don't have full unicode fonts yet. I think I used [1] which eliminated most of those empty boxes for me - was noticing them in peoples signatures which is what prompted me to get it, and was generally tired of the "empty box syndrome". There are other unicode fonts, not sure if any are an all-in-one solution like that. That one's nice because it seems to serve as a backup for whatever your other fonts are missing, and has about 60,000 characters so far. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 21:01, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Coinop trains.jpg
Hi. Just a minor note. Could you include data as to when and where this photo was taken in the image description. Maybe I'm being overly anal, but its always good to have that added info. Who, in 50 years, will know otherwise? Also consider using the file description layout (copy-pastable, see middle of the page) on this Commons webpage. It is usable for Wikipedia-uploads as well. Cheers. MadMaxDog 09:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, done. Didn't use the template but I'll go through all the pictures I uploaded and add that template when I have the chance. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 02:34, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I have a shopping centrein South Africa looking for a coin operated model layout likek the one shown. Can you point me to the suppliers site? thanks, michael mike132@telkomsa.net
Missing Pretty Girl Syndrome
We talked about that a few weeks ago, and guess what! Jessie Davis the Ohio mother who went missing for about a week turns up missing and dead. The man is a Canton, Ohio Police officer who is African American. The man, Bobby Cutts, Jr. is similar to Scott Peterson. He is a married man who has children from his wife and Davis. He killed this woman over child support or other ignorant reasons. Now they're is relevant in this because you implied that black on white crime is rampant. But this example would fit the missing woman sensation on cable and regular news. As always, shame on CNN, Fox News, ABC, NBC, CBS for not covering the missing woman in Miami named, Stepha Henry. LILVOKA 12:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Shrug. That's not really similar to the "squelched" stories I cited, which were group crimes against strangers - much more potentially sensational (and brutal). I stopped worrying much about what did or didn't get reported on TV when I took my last one out to a quarry and shot it 30 times. At any rate, you may be able to influence the editorial decisions, but the ratings aspect of this isnt going to change any time soon as far as I can tell. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 02:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Huguenot
Well, even though I am the author of the most recent biography of the artist [2], [3] I have to confess that I have not actually seen this painting for several years, so I can't comment on the accuracy of the colour. I will be seeing it in a couple of months, however. M was slightly worried about the loss of yellow in his green pigments, and did retouch it in the 1880s. I suspect the one you point to is more accurate. Paul B 10:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Civility
Fourdee, I warned Undog about the recent accusations of racism and I extend the same warning to you. It is uncivil to return one accusation of racism with another and makes the dialog more poisoned than it is already. Please consider striking your own comment.--Chaser - T 18:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- I meant that this notion of what would introduce less racial bias actually had much more racial bias in its assumptions. I did not call him a racist. And I think you are ignoring the plethora of cases where he is willfully incivil - like practically every other sentence. What I said was in no way meant as a personal attack or incivility, it was in reference to ideas, not people. There is no comparison between his behavior and anyone else on the article. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 19:08, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Advocacy journalists and BLP
The issues you raised on this topic appear to be the next big controversy at the LaRouche article talk page. --NathanDW 16:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hello, Fourdee -- you may wish to comment on this Request for Arbcom enforcement filed by Cberlet. --MaplePorter 13:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Request for Mediation
Slaughter … again
It looks like your contribution to the 'slaughter' discussion is needed again at Talk:The_Holocaust#NPOV_revisited —Parhamr 04:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. we are both Oregonians of English descent and your opening two paragraphs on your user page are brilliant—I'm citing you with an odd, humored smirk —Parhamr 09:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Heheh, thanks. I am a little busy right now and don't have the time to fight with the admins over this problem on the holocaust article. I'd say the chances of getting anywhere on it are very low but it is worth watching for any extreme POV statements that might make their way in. The fundamental problem is what is considered a "reliable source" for what sort of statements, and disputing that would be time-consuming. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 19:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's not yet fixed but gahh some people stand in the way. Cheers for standing up for what we believe in, though. —Parhamr 05:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
NathanDW and Dont lose that number now banned
I was shocked to learn that both these editors have been indef blocked for the offense of restoring a link at the article Chip Berlet that was deemed to violate BLP. In my opinion, if someone can be banned for restoring a link, then Cberlet and Dking have been getting away with murder in terms of BLP violations. I would encourage you to make requests on their talk pages that they clean up their act and stop violating policy. If they fail to do so, two or more of us should file WP:RFC on them. --Marvin Diode 23:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- That is extremely unfortunate. I think it pays to avoid direct confrontations, especially with the admins, and definitely to avoid linking to the "libelous" material about slimvirgin and cberlet that is on the web. The more we antagonize them, the quicker the admins involved are going to be to issue permanent blocks and far-flung enforcements of the arbcom decisions. SlimVirgin is not one to mess with. Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to dedicate to dealing with this problem carefully and in detail, but I would sign on an RfC about it. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 19:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please note that I have created Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct/Cberlet. You should sign as "Other users who endorse this summary." Thanks, Marvin Diode 13:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
