Sam, Xenophrenic is displaying all the classic traits of article ownership and tendentious editing. He has reverted, in whole, the contributions and edits of three separate users in the past 24 hours. He is also began using (as he did in his prior apparition) a rather disingenuous technique to get material out of the article by removing it from the main space, and "taking it to talk" where it will never be allowed back into the article. I dont want thsi to go to arbitration again, but it looks like it may haev to. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 19:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Your refusal for the speedy deletion of The Sack Of Palermo truly amazes me. If you consider the copying of ONE paragraph out of ONE book that writes 10 pages on the subject sufficient context you set your standards very low. The article does not give any context. If you would have cared to do a search [1] on the issue, you would have found more relevant context. - Mafia Expert 15:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
The Swansea Uni IP has caused more vandalism, this time to Shirley,_West_Midlands. You were the last admin to leave a warning (last week). I left a tag, thought'd you might want to do something else. Artlondon 20:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
ǔHello Sam,
Another admin (not Jpgordon) has already taken this issue up with me. If you wish to participate (and by all means, please do) then please read SpigotMap's entire user page, which currently consists of nothing but this exact "dispute." If you were to read that page, you would discover the other admin already reviewing this, plus a large amount of dialogue between me, spigotmap, and other editors. Until you can ask more specific questions related to this I ask that you please not operate in a vacuum here. Please respond on my talk page as well or on SpigotMap's, which is quickly becoming a centralized place to coordinate this. Additionally, if you read WP:3RR you will find that you do not have to specifically revert 3 times in 24 hours to qualify as breaking the rule. Please inform yourself then by all means join the discussion here as we try to resolve this situation. Thank you Triddle 20:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't revert the refusal of the speedy on Terrri Summers. The speedy was first rejected because I didn't tag it quite right. So I fixed that. What else should I have done? If there's a rule against correcting a defective request, I'd love to see it cited. You really ought to apologize for your careless remark and review the request on its merits. Your assumption that I had mindlessly reverted violates WP:AGF, doesn't it, especially since just checking the diffs on your second edit shows I'd put the appropriate tag on.

Why would you assume that they do not assert significance? the page is of poor quality because i did very little work on it and intended to finish it in the morning. If you think that Repeat Offender assert no significance, why dont you ask any one of their 12650 myspace friends or any of the thousands of people that have seen them live?

Hey, the user has recreated the page. Would you mind swinging by and deleting it again? The guy hasn't done quite enough to earn a block, but I certainly wouldn't lament if he got it anyway. GlassCobra 23:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Would you like me to revert my last revert back? Do you think I was being unreasonable? Sure, no problem. The text that I was relying on was as follows:
f you have broken 3RR by mistake and now realize it, or if another user has left you a note on your talk page that points out that you broke 3RR, then you should revert your change back to the "other version", even though you may not like the previous version. In general, this should be enough to prevent you from being blocked, although there are no guarantees. If you seem to be the only person who feels that the article should be the way that you have made it, perhaps it is better the way everyone else thinks it should be.
I don't actually have a specific preferred version for the page. The episode was ugly and involved a lot of what we call today "the politics of personal destruction". The bottom line is that Bentley was eventually vindicated because otheer people and independent documents backed up what she said and those old charges need to be put in context in her biographical article. So far, two entirely different formulas were conceived to do that. RedSpruce was reverting both of them. TMLutas 02:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate you may have strong feelings about this but would it not be better to leave the contentious material out of the article until consensus is reached? I should also inform you of the three revert rule which means that you should not keep readding the mention and undoing the work of other editors in removing it. If you revert more than three times in any 24-hour period you may well be blocked from editing. Sam Blacketer 22:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I saw your recent comments on WP:AN/I about ((blp)). I am taking the liberty of writing you because I am concerned by what seems to me to be a serious discrepancy between WP:VER, WP:NPOV and an interpretation of WP:BLP.
I don't know how new this interpretation of ((blp)) is. It is new to me. Some of the volunteers who have taken on patrolling the wikipedia for violations of ((blp)) interpret reporting allegations, even from official sources, as violations of ((blp)). One of these patrollers has argued that unless the allegations can be "proven" to be true, by referencing independent third party sources, reporting the allegations violates ((blp)), WP:NPOV, WP:NOR.
I pointed out that the very first line of WP:VER states that the wikipedia aims for "verifiability, not truth".
Verifiability is an easy standard to try to comply with. "Truth" is a difficult standard to try to comply with. Aiming to only include material that is true, requires deviation from WP:NPOV.
Well, I won't repeat all the argument and counter-argument.
The advice I would like concerns how to determine whether this interpretation of ((blp)) really is considered valid, and whether, it should trump WP:VER and WP:NPOV. I raised the issue on the BLP noticeboard, with little meaningful response. And I raised it on WP:AN/I, with mixed results.
Thanks! Geo Swan 22:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi I guess you were the admin who deleted the Talk:Mormonism and Christianity archives that I tagged for speedy deletion. There was one archive that was off, so the entire series of archives is off by one digit. I was wondering if you could please move the set of archives all up one notch. At 16 archives they have quite a lengthy set of archives so I though they might be better off with more automated archival, but I think they need to be in line to start this. - Optigan13 21:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

A consensus? Who took part in this consensus? You mean more readers recognized the second name ubiquitus than the first?

Hi. You commented on the Kersal Massive deletion review (Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 November 1#Kersal Massive).

Hello,
the BLP noticeboard entry I posted on that topic did not generate as much feedback as I had hoped. Of those editors not previously involved in the debate, you were the only one who voiced an opinion regarding the inclusion of the artist's real name.

Hello Sam! Thanks for taking the time to address the concerns regarding the incident between User:Charles and User:UpDown. I would like to say the consistent removal of comments on Charles's talk page, [2], [3] and loss of cool here, by Charles demonstrates to me that the user appealing should serve the same block. I would like to suggest an unblock for User:UpDown because of their partial level-headedness in the situation, in which User:Charles was rather rude, IMO UpDown was acting upon instinct gathered in Wikipedia rather that becoming involved like Charles whom has become associated with the AFD nominations of multiple royalty-related articles, check AFD for confirmation. The casus belli was the closure of this AFD earlier today, check the first Keep by UpDown which probably helped to raise tension between the two. Regards, Rudget zŋ 21:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi I seen you helped in the deletion of the page Zachary Jaydon. I was wondering if you could help me out somehow. Mr Jaydon has used the ip 65.219.130.15 and now the account User:TragedyStriker has been internet stalking me for awhile now (someone I knew in person who turned out to be a fraud and was not happy about it.) Under the ip he vandalized the page Ben Bledsoe several times and under this Tragedy Striker one he's vandalizing pages of artists he's worked with and the Mickey Mouse Club page. Then he left me a threatening message on my talk page about reverting those edits and claiming I was 'vandalizing' them. The deletion review of his page concluded he had been nothing more then an extra on MMC thus not a 'cast member'. As for his songwriting yes hes worked with the artists hes editing but hes not noteable; so its not really encyclopediac worthy.
Im asking a few things here since I am not so good with Wikipedia beyond writing and editing articles (I have trouble working the admin system). For starters could both his accounts be blocked again (the ip has been in the past)? And if not from Wikipedia then at least from contacting me? He's vandalized several pages constantly plus usuing original research like I've said so in addition to threats I think that would be enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the 3RR help.
I spent a fair bit of time this morning tidying up the List of countries spanning more than one continent article. I removed uncited contentious material, synthesised material mixed in with uncited "reasoning" (ie, original research), removed blatant inaccuracies (not cited), and provided a few references of my own to support the minimal amount of new info I added. Yet, Domaleixo just blind reverted them four times. he removed my references, insisted on his own point of view and the expense of all others (no references), and disregarded my detailed edit summaries.
Myself and another reverted a few times, but now I'm on 3 reverts. And the article is largely in Domaleixo's over reverted version. Even after I was on 3 reverts, i added cite tags and he just removes them. Essentially, I've played by the rules and am thus ham strung, and another guy gets his lousy version cause I stick to the rules and he doesn't.
What do you suggest I do? I could just sit out 24 hours, but then no doubt the game starts again. Surely, providing a source trumps no source? But, it seems not in this case.
any suggestions would be appreciated. regards --Merbabu 11:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I'm a vandal, and User:Perspicacite keeps removing material which is well cited in our other articles - just follow the links in the material he keeps removing with his reverts.
The material he is removing is well-known history of Cabinda and referenced in SEVEN of our articles - it's a bit like excising a paragraph that states that Hawaii is part of the US or that most humans have two thumbs. It's not like I've removed his own novel theory that Portugal grabbed Cabinda from the Belgian Congo...

I think I see your point at the Wolfowitz discussion. The interviews aren't particularly meant to be critical analysis of what a notable person says, but to simply record their perspective and what they feel they know. For instance, I interviewed the Dalai Lama's representative about the whereabouts and information he has on the six year old 11th Panchen Lama the Chinese government has put into hiding. I linked the interview on that page as a "See also" - Wikinews can be wikified. If that is not acceptable, is it more acceptable to work the information into the article with a citation? Or not at all? --David Shankbone 21:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sam. As you are an admin here, I would ask you to take some steps to stop Hereward77 because he repeats to put warnings?! in other user's discussion pages, and he is the one who keeps including WP:NOT content such as political comments made during Republican's Committee discussion in order to present Bosniaks (an ethnic group as terrorists). Which is more importan he keeps removing the International Court decisions about some events regarding the topic. This is well known behaviour by many users here, who create account and try to present themselves as somebody else. For instance Hereward77 made many reverts in The role of foreign fighters in the Bosnian war article when he was signed in, but as you can see here he didn't sign in: 124.185.64.124 (a user from Canberra), although in his user page he wrote that he lives in UK. There are so many sockpuppet games here, based on rascism and hatred, and that's why I ask you to handle this situation.

Hello! As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct.
My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mr. Blacketer! I've noticed that you've quite a bit of experience writing on MP's, and am wondering if you could help me out a bit. I'm curious if any of your experience may translate to peerage as its relevant to the House of Lords. I've recently edited Paul Bew, Baron Bew (stemming from a result of my reading, and enjoying, his latest work). The title aside, which I'm wondering if it fits with the manual of style, is it proper to style the fellow as a "baron"? All the materials I've seen give him the title of "Lord." Is this one in the same, or are they different? Any light you could shine on this issue would be great, and if you'd like further clarification as to what I'm asking (I'm not as confident in my communication skills after studying all night, haha), please don't hesitate to ask, either here, on my talk page, or on the article's talk page.

And my information was lynched, hung, and stoned to death by none other than Sam Blacketer.
You are the pretentious, bloated Hitler of Wikipedia.

[QUOTE] I'm following up a report on the three revert rule report board about the editing on Stacy Carter. Your editing broke the three revert rule by undoing changes by other edits more than three times during a 24-hour period. I have decided not to block you from editing because the report was made a day after the edit dispute and you did stop after another editor contacted you, but please be aware that blocks can and do follow three revert rule violations.
If you get into a revert war with another editor, it is important to engage them in constructive discussion on the article talk page rather than just continue to revert. This action often gains the attention of other users, and if you want others to express their opinions on the dispute you can ask for a third opinion, or make a request for comments.

Just want to say that the editor who reported me, Aladdin Zane/Rogue Gremlin, is a sockpuppet hypocrite and made written abuses on my page, which I have removed. He also blatantly editted everything I've contributed without giving a valid, logical reason. :)

Hi!
Thanks for your offer. The speedy delete has already occurred. The page no longer exists. I was instructed by another admin (see my talk page) to use the delete page I've created. Toby Douglass 18:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

The article on Mainwaring says "He was also active on issues affecting the unemployed, where he consistently opposed attempts to reduce unemployment." which seems unlikely for a Labour man - perhaps you meant promoted. Recent Runes (talk) 00:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your response to my Request for Comment on this article; I was wondering if I could ask for some advice? Hanzanian has re-added the same material to the article once again, and I'm not sure if I should wait for further responses to the RFC, or if there is anything else I should do. I suspect it might be difficult to gain consensus with this editor. I have left a message for him asking him to join in the discussion on the article talk page, but previously conversations have been less than fruitful, and it seems pointless to leave the RFC open indefinitely if any changes to/removals of the text are reversed. I'm sorry if this isn't the correct way to approach this situation, but I've never been in a content dispute before. Thanks again for your comment, --Kateshortforbob 22:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I keep forgetting that Wikipedia can do no wrong and that any and all criticism is unwarranted.
P.S. This page is over 77 kilobytes long. It may be helpful to move older discussion into an archive subpage. See Help:Archiving a talk page for guidance. --angrykeyboarder (a/k/a:Scott) (talk) 05:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey Sam, what do you think about the recent events about Durova and the secret mailing list? Menticor (talk) 20:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sam. I would like to inform you that user Osli73 although he was blocked so many times, continues to vandalise articles. As you know I asked your intervention before. Now he is redirecting Serbian propaganda to Role of Serb media in the 1991-1999 wars in the former Yugoslavia (which he wrote), instead of redirecting it to Serb propaganda (the article I wrote based on ICTY verdicts), because he nominated Serb propaganda article for deletion. I think this user should be stop finally. It doesn't make any sense anymore. Propaganda isn't the same term as media role, so his vandalism is really obvious.

Hi Sam, glad to see that you too spotted the linkspamming to http://www.parliamentaryyearbook.co.uk http://www.parliamentaryyearbook.co.uk/mp-member/bacon-richard.html by Parliamentary (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and I see that a final warning has now been issued.
Hopefully, that will put an end to the spamming, but I also wondered in the username itself was appropriate. You have much more familiarity than I do with policy and practice in that area, but I'm uncomfortable with a username which could be read as implying that the editor has some sort of parliamentary position. Am I being over-cautious? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I've started a discussion about unblocking Callmebc, per a discussion I've had via email with him. There's a thread here which you, as a blocking admin, might want some input in. --Haemo (talk) 08:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sam. I would just like to inform you that I am going to take your advice to start request for comment when dealing with the users who are not willing to honestly contribute. I am going to start it related to Osli73, if he continues with disruptive behaviour. I have now plenty of material, but if you have any other advice before I start it be my guest. I am going to present this case very systematically, for example to list his block log, his reverts, other disruptive edits like this: Block log:

Hi Sam
I have been trying to be less of a wikignome, and have heavily expanded articles on two MPs: Jack Dormand and Norman Baker. I admire the elegant articles which you have written on politicians, so if you have a few spare minutes I'd be grateful if you could cast your eye over those two and tell me what you think.
Thanks! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:29, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I think you have misinterpreted my RFAR request. I outlined Basboll's repeated efforts to seek sanction against me, all of which have been overwhelmingly defeated, but he still persists, disregarding the vast consensus he cease to do so. How else am I supposed to get this guy off my case if he isn't told to do so?--MONGO 09:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the edits to my userpage! Malinaccier (talk) 00:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC) |
Hi Sam. I would like to ask you something about the role of admin. I think Philip Baird Shearer misused his admin rights in Bosnian Genocide article, because he blocked his opponent Grandy Grandy and didn't block his mate who shares the same opinion as his in the discussion he was involved in, it is Osli73, who broke 3RR as well. The problem is, Osli73 broke the 3RR, but he wasn't signed-in the first time he reverted. Can you give me an advice what should I do when I notice that an admin misuses his right? Regards. The Dragon of Bosnia (talk) 13:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user & talk pages! I owe you a drink. Whale plane (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
As far as I know, there has been no attempt at dispute resolution regarding the edits of the involved parties (XL8RTION and UnclePaco). Personally, I think an attempt at dispute resolution would go a long way. One user has an issue with adding material that violates WP:NPOV, while another has a history of engaging in edit wars and making personal attacks. Although dispute resolution and other forms of mediation are not always successful, I think it's safe to assume that there is a high likelihood that the problems with both of these users can be rectified if proper action is taken. I thought you might want to know, since you chose to accept the case. Nishkid64 (talk) 23:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
