November 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Abdus Salam. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. CIreland (talk) 02:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I received your email. I am not unsympathetic to your concerns but what both and Somnat1 must do is outline the rationale for your edits at Talk:Abdus Salam. Continual reverting isn't getting anywhere and discussion is the only viable course of action. CIreland (talk) 17:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hi,

The reference that I posted on the Pakistani diaspora page, does indeed talk about Pakistanis and other nationalities, apart from the Bangladeshis, especially on Pages 131 & 132. I don't want to get into an edit war with you, so either you could undo the revision, or allow me to do it?

Cheers A Fantasy (talk) 17:09, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


Ok, thanks. I'll do it. A Fantasy (talk) 15:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Kalbe Razi Naqvi

Hi Mustihussain,

What source do you need to prove somebody's nationality? A passport? Why don't you have a look at point 4 of your Contents box: Citizen of United Kingdom. People with UK citizenship are called British, aren't they?

The information that I put here came from the person himself. Can't you just leave this page as it was?

Cheers, Javorfi

--Javorfi (talk) 23:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you see, the thing is what he would prefer to see there. So I think I just change it back.

I used to work at NTNU and still go back there time to time.

Thanks. --Javorfi (talk) 00:38, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Your user page

I would like to ask. Do you want your user page deleted? It appears that you tried to erase it, however, that does not delete it. Please get back to me and let me know whether or not you want it deleted. Thanks. -- IRP 17:47, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Race and intelligence

Mustihussain, you've reverted the article Race and intelligence 4 times in the last 10 hours, which is technically a violation of Wikipedia's three revert rule. I strongly suggest that you take your edits to the article's talkpage before reverting again. Thanks, --Aryaman (talk) 14:25, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Mustihussain: we are trying to get some consensus on a very difficult revision of a very difficult article. If you want to contribute, please communicate on the talk page, but please don't disrupt an already fragile discussion process. thanks. --Ludwigs2 14:51, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Yes, the talk page of the Race and Intelligence article. Slrubenstein | Talk 14:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Race and Intelligence

Please note the comment I just left at Ludwigs2' talk page. You should also conssult th mssage David Kane left on the Race and Intelligence talk page, when he finished making his edits. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:07, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

What is critical is that any of your edits must stringently conform with our core content policies (which, if you do not know, you should go over carefully); WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NOR. There are two correlaries tha most users get tripped up by: WP:WEIGHT and WP:SYNTH. As long as your edits comply stringently with these policies, are well-written and put in the appropriate plac within the appropriate article, you should feel conident about your editing. If someone thinks you made a bad edit, just remind them that the article talk page is the appropriate place to discuss disagreements, and that they need to show how your edit violates one of our core content policies. Good Wikipedians will be glad to discuss it with you on the article talk page. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)


See also this discussion. Slrubenstein | Talk 14:31, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

SLR makes some excellent points above. However, please note that consensus is one of the wp:five pillars of wikipedia, and consensus means that you need to discuss changes with other editors where there are difficulties of conflicts. again, please read wp:BRD. thanks. --Ludwigs2 15:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


WP:BRD is indeed very important here. If someone reverts you, my advice is this: start a section on the talk page of the article in question. Summarize your edit, and why you believe you are not violating NPOV, V, or NOR. Ask anyone if they believe you are violating any of these core content policies, and if so, how. Tell people you will welcome suggestions about how to phrase your edit and here to put it (i.e. improve the style). Wait a day or two, but at least 36 hours, and then if no one has any objections, make your edit again. If someone has objections, respond to them - seriously, and collegially. This is all part of collaborative editing which is wht Wikipedia is all about. But once you have responded to all objections by improving your proposed edit, edit the article again. My point: once reverted, take it to the talk page of the article and discuss it in a constructive and cooperative way, welcoming suggested improvements. Once discussion is over, then make your edit again. Slrubenstein | Talk 15:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

If it helps any, I think that is excellent advice. Just so long as we are all on the same page (figuratively speaking - I know we're all literally on the... oh, never mind). --Ludwigs2 17:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Flynn

If you want to insert a point that Flynn has made, you ned to find the book or article in which Flynn made the point. One reason is that journalists like Gladwell sometimes misrepresent their sources. Another reason is that Gladwell takes Flynn's quotes out of context. That is, he provides whatever context suits the point Gladwell wishes to make in his article. We too are going to take a quote from Flynn out of its context - but we need to go over the original context - in what context Flynn wrote what he wrote - to make sure we provide as much context as our article needs. Finally, this is an encyclopedia and we must use reliable sources, see my comment above. In this case the appropriate source for a point by Flynn is the book or article where Flynn made the point.

If you have the appropriate source and context, most people will not object to your adding it to the article. But they may object to where you place it in the article3 as poor style. It is a good idea to start a discussion on the talk page to gain consensus about how to incorporate the point into the article. This is consensus based (collaborative) editing, which is how we do things here. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:12, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Abdus Salam

Is Sweden not also correct? All except Peace is given in Sweden. So stating Sweden will give a greater scope of 'first'. Waiting for your views before I change it. Thank You Peaceworld111 (talk) 18:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

yes, it is correct but it looks corny. so what if he is the first muslim to receive a nobel prize from sweden? much more important to state that he is the first muslim nobel prize winner in physics/science. you see what i mean? mentioning sweden looks strange, at least from scandinavia. mustihussain 19:39, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Ok i get you, what about the word 'science' or 'academics'? Peaceworld111 (talk) 19:44, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
science or physics. academics is a much broader term.mustihussain 19:47, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Ok , sciences done Peaceworld111 (talk) 20:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

nutrition

First, create a separate section on the talk page - the point you are bringing up has nothing to do with Muntuwand's point, so people will think you are either disingenuous or trying to derail discussion. Create a separate section.

Then, summarize the points people gave for deleting you.

Then, provide your response to those objections.

Then, show how your proposed edit complies with the core content policies.

Then see how people respond. If no one objects in 36 hours, then put your proposed edit in. Slrubenstein | Talk 13:43, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Excellent advice! By the way, I have refractored things a bit to provide an Environment section in which such nutrition issues would naturally fit. Hope that helps. David.Kane (talk) 20:21, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
thanks for the advice. i have already created a nutrition section on the talk page and no one has responded. the arguments against having nutrition section in the main article do not hold at all as long as lynn's "world wide data" is given. for example lynn claims that the average iq in south asia is 84. now, i can provide you with references (e.g. http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/national/16-twothirds-of-schoolchildren-iodine-deficient-report-hs-07) that show that almost 70% of pakistanis suffer from iodine deficiencies. this in turn causes a fall of 13 iq points! to add this fact is totally reasonable! mustihussain 21:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
People will question whether this meets out WP:RS guidelines. The point is clearly relevant. But by what methodology was it determined that the deficiency led to a 13 pt. drop? Causality iis pretty hard to establish, did they have large double-blind tests? You see, the methodology would be explained in a peer-reviewed journal article. But in a speech given by an official, we have no idea what the methodology was, or whether it was approved via peer-review. So if this came from a peer-reviewed journal article i would say you are on strong grounds indeed, but this source is not going to meet everyone's standards and even you must admit it is not a great source. Slrubenstein | Talk 01:57, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
one example of a study that shows similar results: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15734706 . there are several others for sure. the drop of 10 to 15 iq points is mentioned everywhere the topic is discussed (e.g. http://www.nootropics.com/iodine/index.html or http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/opinion/04kristof.html?_r=2).mustihussain 14:36, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

numbers do not speak for themselves

I appreciate your help. Would you mind reading over the article specifically to look for other passages where numbers are being thrown around as if they spoke for themselves, and where nmore context is needed? Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 01:53, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

i think the i&r piece could be improved significantly if lynn's "findings" are discussed in a critical way. for example, the claim that sub-saharan african populations have an average iq of 67 has to be discussed. according to theory an iq of 67 implies mental retardation. now, the fact is that the average person in sub-saharan africa is not mentally retarded (it would be retarded to claim so!). clearly, there is either something wrong with the data or with theory! lynn's data has to be scrutinized, and flynn has indeed reported flaws in lynn's accounting methods. on the other hand we have the prodigious increase of the dutch iq. as flynn notes:
"if iq tests really tap into a fundamental aspect of intelligence, says flynn, the implications of this trend are staggering. in the netherlands, for instance, the 30-year increase implies that about one-quarter of the population qualifies as mentally gifted, with iqs of at least 130. those with iqs over 150 have increased almost 60-fold since 1952--a jump that translates into 300,000 potential geniuses. "the result should be a cultural renaissance too great to be overlooked,' maintains flynn. there are, of course, no indications of such a dramatic leap forward in thought" http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1200/is_v132/ai_5160849/
again, something is wrong.
also, flynn's newest book claims that the reported average iq of asians/asian americans is inflated(http://www.amazon.com/Asian-Americans-Achievement-Beyond-Iq/dp/0805811109). i think a critique of accounting methods has to be included in the r&1 article, in addition, a section about statistical methods has to be added. being a natural scientist, i don't trust racial theorists (like jensen, lynn) disguised as sociologists. mustihussain 15:23, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

On Tuesday

could you see if this argument could benefit from your views? Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 00:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

i have looked at the discussion. it seems that captain o. has already added some more text to the main article (tending, as ususal, to favor the hereditarian stance, lolz!). my main concern now is that the article is beginning to look like a showcase for lynn, jensen and other fringe "scientists". could you please provide me your e-mail address?mustihussain 02:44, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Style suggestion

I find using inflammatory terms such as vandalizing offends editors and encourages real vandals. The edit summaries cannot be edited, so you may like to avoid using such terms in the edit summaries in particular. Edit summaries are visible in the history long after issues have been resolved and normal edits have been archived. Stephen B Streater (talk) 01:06, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Removal of an AfD template from Farooq Azam

Please do not remove AfD templates from articles listed for deletion discussions, as you did here[2] for the Farooq Azam article. The deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Farooq Azam, is still open. If you disagree with the nomination, you are welcome to express your opinion in the deletion discussion. However, only the administrator closing the discussion may remove the AfD template from the article.

ISI

Hey. Could you please comment on this part of ISI talk page? This user is trying to push some POV. He's started a reliable sources dispute to deviate from the topic (as visible from the discussion on that talk page mentioned). [3]. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

that article has several and more serious issues (possible copyright violations, wp:or, wp:coatrack) and needs a full overhaul. you can start with going through content that you suspect is copy-pasted and check with the sources. if copyright violations are found, tag the section. the "activities in balochistan"-section looks like a copyright violating-festered hole. i would also say it is a WP:COATRACK-attempt. try to investigate these issues first. read the wp:coatrack policy.-- mustihussain (talk) 16:49, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

good, much better. continue to work with yourself and your edits. just a few comments. make the following changes: destroyed-> destroying, loss->losses. also just delete the "to missile boats by moving them away from the obvious targets"-sentence. redundant and repetitive. cite both of your sentences.-- mustihussain (talk) 17:46, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Fixed the grammar. The source is the same for the whole paragraph, so at the end. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Islam in Europe

i'm sorry i reverted you uncautiously, you're absolutely right about the freedom of religion section and the esther pan stuff. it's just that it appeared that you removed the wikileaks story from the daily mail, which i think needs to be in there, and is supported by the source. maybe i got mixed up in the series of diffs. anyway, i'm sorry, and thanks for taking care of that.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 17:03, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

the daily mail story was removed by User:John.stevenson3. center for social cohesion (csc) is clearly not a neutral source [5], and wikileaks are not reliable.  mustihussain  17:29, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

RSN Issue.

Hi, this editor, dbigxray, is continuously disrupting the RSN even after a neutral editor provided an in-depth analysis. [6] He has been forum shopping from quite some time. His attitude on all articles is WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and baselessly argues either without references or with the ones that contradict the neutral sources. I reported him once for wiki stalking and we were told to stay away from each other's talk page. Do you think reporting him again will do any good? --lTopGunl (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

yes, but be brief and to the point. prove that there exists a pattern. e.g. he began his disruptive edits on the "first indo-pakistani war" *after* a single edit by you [7] [8] [9]. i guess you're aware of numerous such examples. use them in your case. properly. make sure to mention that you, following the recommendation of the an/i-board, tried to stay away from dbigxray, but to no avail as he stalks you. the stalking has to be demonstrated *clearly* by the examples given by you. take your time.-- mustihussain  17:38, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. Will sort this out in time as a report will need regular responses on my part. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:17, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
you don't need to respond every time. in fact, it's counterproductive to spam the an/i-page with comments if your case is solid.-- mustihussain  12:34, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Was just trying to counter his forumshopping attempts. Will not reply now (on the RSN). You might need to keep Operation Chengiz Khan in your watch list for some time since he's trying to add content against an established consensus from the Indo-Pak wars and conflicts page. --lTopGunl (talk) 12:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
keep track of his edits, especially his genuine forum shopping attempts, and edits that reveal his stalking.-- mustihussain  12:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
I think I'll let him have the benefit of doubt and report on a clearer violation and add this previous record for a stronger case. I'm sure he wont stop at this. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Heads-up: [10] This user is a canvassed user by dibigxray making edits on Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts. I'm counting dibigxray, swift&silent and this user's point of views as a single since the latter 2 are canvassed. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)


[11] Would you mind closing this discussion with {{discussion top}} & {{discussion bottom}} since my doing so will flame an edit war with dbigxray. He has commented here after a week not listening to the consensus. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

just ignore the drama. all the major points are already presented. there are many important articles that you might improve instead of wasting your time on the noticeboard.-- mustihussain  17:35, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
His misquoting usually leads editors to think of the consensus as he quoted which he then quotes back on talk with reasons to edit the articles. Kind of going in circles. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

it was totally undue. we're not supposed to give an exhausted list with every book on the subject, a list that is as long as the article itself. btw, what about the map? isn't it more appropriate to put it in the rebuttal section where the "muslim demographic"-video is debunked?-- mustihussain  22:47, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Islamophobia criticism section

Hi Mustihussain,

I'm sure you mean well, but I'm not sure you've fully understood WP:NPOV. You can't remove reliably sourced material from an article simply because you disagree with the author of it. No further expurgation of the criticism section will be possible without prior consensus. Please ensure that you get that. Jayjg (talk) 04:37, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

what are you talking about? to summarize a quote into a sentence is not removal of material... make sure you read before making allegations.-- mustihussain  06:39, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mustihussain, I had added information about Adil Khan and Deeyah on the above mentioned page, which has been removd by you, can I know the reason, please. RegardsJogibaba (talk) 00:41, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

the reason is given in the edit summary. you added unsourced content. provide your sources.-- mustihussain  10:00, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
do you mean, I should add the refrences to justify those claims, which I did not because there are a lot of references on their respective pages. As you are from Norway, you must have read a lot about these two person, especially Adil Khan who is, now a days, so much in media because of the NRK serial named, Taxi which sent its last episode on last Monday. Are you suggesting that that I can add those lines again while giving the references.--Jogibaba (talk) 11:17, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
yes, add your content back with sources. assessments like khan is an "acclaimed theatre actor and is one of the most popular mainstream screen actors in norway" or that deeyah "is among the very few norwegians of immigrant decent known internationally" seem like original research to me.-- mustihussain  11:26, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
In 2006, one of Deeyah's music videos was used as part of an art exhibition at The Stedelijk Museum where leading national and international theorists, critics and artists address topical issues in contemporary visual cultur In 2009 Deeyah was awarded with the international Freedom to Create Prize alongside Cont Mhlanga, The Zimbabwean playwright and Belarus Free Theatre for What Will It Be and Sisterhood.[40 this is what made me write that.Do you think this was exaggerationan. And what about Adil Khan. As you are from Norway, you must have noticed his presences in Norway. Regards--Jogibaba (talk) 11:36, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
what you wrote above does not mention that deeyah "is among the very few norwegians of immigrant decent known internationally". hence, original research. like i suspected. you should rather stick to what the sources say and mention the awards she won instead. regarding khan, my opinions about him do not matter at all. what matters is what secondary reliable sources say. if they say that he's an "acclaimed theatre actor and is one of the most popular mainstream screen actors in norway" then fine. if not, it's original research.-- mustihussain  11:48, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Muhammad

Hi, you're right that the version I restored sounds like it contains POV material. The reason I reverted was more because the edits broke references, and because the new material seemed unsourced. Of course that doesn't mean that the existing material is necessarily cleanly sourced ... I haven't looked at it in detail, or checked it against the indicated sources, but I am concerned about some of the wordings I restored, too, looking at them in more detail. Please come and help us sort it out. Note that there also ongoing discussions on the images talk page. Regards, --JN466 02:10, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Use of WP:COATRACK as an argument

Hello. Your edit here caught my attention. You removed the support section but left criticism, using WP:COATRACK as the argument in your edit summary.

Both views are important for achieving neutral point of view. --Pudeo' 20:47, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Ankh.Morpork 10:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

thanks. could you also ban the racist ip-accounts indefinitely? they're banned for a week but that's totally inadequate. probably socks of the same user [16]
As a rule, we don't indef-block IP accounts - among other reasons, because they are often dynamic IPs that aren't the same user from one day to another. These attacks happen when JarlaxleArtemis (because he's a coward) goes on 4chan /b/ and asks random users to post the attacks. A lot of the time, they are so stupid that they include the command "Place the following in the large text box" in the attempted vandalism. Consider it a badge of honor.

You are actually a valuable editor. But you have a history of edit-warring. The edit warring generates blocks, and makes neutral people lose patience with you. If you keep this up the blocks will get longer and longer. You will think it quite unfair if the other editor gets blocked for a day (or not at all) and you get blocked for a year, for doing exactly the same thing.

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. Thank you. Ankh.Morpork 13:13, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

You make some serious accusations about User:AnkhMorpork in these edits. I will block you if you don't retract them and apologize, unless you can produce examples in which he has misrepresented sources. I give you 24 hours in which to comply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malik Shabazz (talkcontribs) 13:05, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

he did indeed misrepresent sources at the british-pakistani page [20]. the case was discussed on ani [21]. i *think* he is guilty of this also on the dhimmi-page. however, i'll retract the comment since you asked me to. btw, he *followed* my edits after the confrontation on the british-pakistani page, and began *edit warring* together with user shrike on the dhimmi-page. what are you gonna do about that? i have the diffs if you want.-- altetendekrabbe  14:57, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you. I don't see a pattern of "tag-team" edit-warring at Dhimmi. If you think it's a problem, please show me some diffs. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:26, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
sure, right after the british-pakistani conflict ankhmorpork reverted me on the dhimmi-page under the charge of vandalism [22], adding content from rodney stark, a fringe "scholar" [23], who whitewashes the crusaders' behavior towards muslims and jews, and who has weird ideas about evolution. clearly, ankhmorpork made a blind revert to take revenge as he was totally discredited and suffered a total fiasco on the british-pakistani issue. he then proceeded to post a bugos warning on my talk page[24]. the warning was subsequently removed by another user [25] who also warned ankmorpork not to misuse blocking templates[26]. ankmorpork made a 2. revert under another pre-text[27]. when i revert him again, shrike came out of nowhere and continued ankmorpork's edit war[28]. note that none of them had edited this page before. they began an edit war right after their fiasco on the british pakistani page where their attempt to associate the british-pakistani community with child abuse failed miserably.
edit warring, a clear violation of wp:brd, violation of wp:point... a classic example of tag-teaming. they displayed precisely the same behavior on the british pakistani-page as well. highly contentious content was forced into the article by user ankmorpork and user shrike by an edit war. note neither ankmorpork nor shrike had made any edits on that page before either. i can provide diffs if you want.
things calmed down for a month and then suddenly ankhmorpork began the edit war again [29], [30], joining hands with two other editors, frotz and estlandia, who also were re-adding stark. hence, violation of wp:brd and edit warring. shrike stayed out of the latest edit war on the dhimmi-page but supported, as always, his comrade on the talk page. on the other hand, he stalked my edits and participated in another conflict i was involved in [31]. others have also noticed shrike's bad habit of hounding, [32]. several other editors have made similar complaints about ankhmorpork and shrike. i can provide diffs for that as well. other editors have now removed the stark nonsense from the dhimmi-page but i suspect that ankhmorpork and shrike will continue their childish activities unless some administrative action is taken. -- altetendekrabbe  19:11, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
here is another stalker, user frotz, [33] reverting me everywhere. he is guilty of edit warring and is violating wp:brd. he is also terming fringe writers as rs [34]. in addition, he contributed to ankhmorpork's edit war on the dhimmi-page, while lying in the edit summary[35]. note that he also followed me from another page. he is quite open about his anti-islamic pov [36].-- altetendekrabbe  22:50, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Your allegations are very serious. If you believe them, I recommend you take them to the appropriate noticeboard. Otherwise, please stop making such accusations.
Meanwhile, I notice that you are once again edit-warring on multiple articles. Please stop or you will be blocked permanently. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
did you read what i wrote? i am not edit warring! check the edits. it is user frotz who is *following me around*, reverting me blindly on articles he never has edited before. he is the one who is edit warring by not following wp:brd. what noticeboard do you suggest i take this matter to?-- altetendekrabbe  08:01, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
do you see a pattern here?[37]. or here [38]? ankh, frotz, estlandia, again and again and again.-- altetendekrabbe  08:50, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
WP:BRD is an essay, and "violating" it is not a valid reason to edit war. If you feel harassed, file a complaint at WP:ANI. In the meantime, please stop edit-warring. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:05, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
excuse me, why don't you ask ankh and his gang to stop edit warring as well?-- altetendekrabbe  18:37, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
They're not edit-warring; you are. Look at the revision histories of Criticism of Muhammad and Criticism of the Quran, where you made three reverts, as well as Criticism of Islam and Dhimmi, where you've made two. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
yes, look closer on those pages, and check how many edits they had in total before they began reverting me. they follow my edits, starting edit wars wherever i go. ankh has been reverted several times on the dhimmi-page as well. you are now allowing wp:hounding.-- altetendekrabbe  19:29, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
If you think there is tag-team editing or Wikihounding going on, take your complaint to WP:ANI. It does not give you an excuse to edit war. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:32, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
please, can't you see what's going on? i provided you diffs. it's beyond any doubt that ankh & co are following my edits. you should at least warn ankh & co... or is that too much to ask for?-- altetendekrabbe  19:37, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Altetendekrabbe asked me on my talk page to take a look at this thread, probably because I made an edit at Dhimmi. Looking over the recent history of the relevant articles, as well as some of the longer contributions of the other users, here's what I think.

  1. I don't think Frotz is "stalking" you, he seems to have had "Criticism of Muhammad" on his userspace as one of his watched articles for awhile.
  2. I'm not sure if AnkhMorph is stalking you - possibly - though he definitely seems to be going around trying to stir up lots of trouble on lots of Islam related articles, with a very strong anti-Islam POV.
  3. Estlandia (disclosure, I've had numerous arguments with him in the past) probably is stalking you a little bit at this point, as in looking up your recent edits, then going in to revert them. Though he probably got embroiled in this all on his own - he's also got a POV thing going.

So I don't know if there's out right stalking going on but

  1. By this point these users have found each other and they are tag-teaming to some extent (though, smartly they're doing it more across several articles rather than a single article). Hell. I've tagged team before, so I know what it looks like.
  2. They are, individually or together, trying to provoke you into edit warring and get you blocked. Particularly AnkhMorph seems to be pretty good at playing this game ("I don't find this or that satisfactory" etc.).
  3. But you are letting yourself get baited. Take your time in working out these conflicts. When they use crappy sources bring it up on RS and other venues. Etc.
  4. And in regard to particular sources, I do agree with you that Islam: What the West Needs to Know is a fringe film that does not need to be spammed into all these articles. I've never heard of it before today, but looking it up, it was produced by a unknown company and promoted by some pretty sketchy organizations (including this ""American Film Renaissance Festival" and this "American Freedom Alliance").

Basically, I hate to tell you this but if you keep just reverting they're gonna succeed in getting you into trouble. This does need to be discussed on talk pages, other people should be brought into the discussion (otherwise they'll out shout you) and it needs to be dealt with patience.

update: tag-teaming proven [39].-- altetendekrabbe  09:41, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Hi, sorry for replying late... if you suspect some editors are following your edits, it would be a good idea to compile 5-10 diffs which form a pattern and take it to ANI and keeping the discussion to just that. It might get noticed better by the admins that way. If they are editwarring without discussing you might point out WP:NINJA to the admins checking it out. Leave me a note if you needed the comment on another aspect too. --lTopGunl (talk) 11:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Blind reverts

Why did you remove the context which clarified the comment by Bernard Lewis? Your use of nasty language and blind reverts is unacceptable. 85.81.20.149 (talk) 17:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

i don't trust you. you continued the edits of a banned racist editor.-- altetendekrabbe  18:00, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Do you understand what I am saying? I didnt want to hear about your odd feelings, I wanted to hear about why you remove the context that I added to the comment by Bernard Lewis. -- 85.81.20.149 (talk) 18:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC) Also why did you claimj that I reverted the article? I assume that you don't even read the changes that you revert?

you're either a sock or a stalker. period. your attempt to make a wp:point by continuing the edit war of a banned racist user is unacceptable.-- altetendekrabbe  18:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Why dont you contribute beyond attacking me personally? Is that too hard for you? -- 85.81.20.149 (talk) 16:48, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Actually, altetendekrabbe, you don't come out smelling like a rose from this. Sure it's easy to get all self-righteous and call other people "racists", and sure other editors, even pretty good ones, might share in that self-righteousness, but the fact is that WP should be a step above this kind of ad hominem vrovl. So, as the other comments on here suggest, you will be able to do good work here if you can just exert yourself to be as polite as possible. I hope you stay, but it's up to you mand! --Anthon.Eff (talk) 01:41, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

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. Thank you. Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 05:21, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


You have been blocked from editing for a short time for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Altetendekrabbe (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

i have been blocked for no reason whatsoever by admin kuru. i have not violated any rules, as confirmed by other admins here, [40] and if i am blocked, user shrike should also be blocked, as pointed out by two other administrators. by unilaterally blocking me admin kuru has taken side with the other party in the dispute. i suggest kuru explains himself on the noticeboard. this is block is unfair, and i am now cut off from an ongoing discussion. i have been tag-teamed against, hounded. just because i don't report this harassment it doesn't mean that others don't notice it. here is another discussion, confirming tag-teaming, [41]. and, i *did not break the 3-rr*! this is confirmed by other admins. please. check the diffs, and you'll see that two of the edits are unrelated. as i wrote on the noticeboard:.shrike is edit warring against consensus. he is added unrelated reverts to his diff-list (the 2. and 5. diff). he removed sourced content. my revert was totally justified (which amounts to a *single* revert of his *disruptive* edit.) shrike became *disruptive* because his misrepresentation of sources, his edit warring allegations ended in a total failure (before kuru came along and blocked me). he is deliberately made new disruptive edits so that he get reverted... this is a blatant attempt to game the system. shrike should be blocked for disruptive editing. as noted by admin Penwhale i did not break the 3-rr as the 2. diff is totally unrelated to the others. update: user estlandia has now removed content, right after me getting blocked. he is one of the tag-teamers. [42]. -- altetendekrabbe  11:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You clearly did break 3RR, and have been edit-warring quite consistently. The poor behaviour of editors on the other side (which I still agree has been tendentious to a worrying degree) can't permanently excuse this. I do hope it should have been clear that my intervention at WP:AN3 the other day was not meant to encourage you to continue with the many reverts. Fut.Perf. 14:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

There is a very clear explanation of the block at the link you provided; it has been there since about two minutes after this block and well before you posted this request. If you can point out a 3RR violation to back up your accusations against one of the three other people you were in a dispute with, I would be delighted to review. Kuru (talk) 11:51, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
If you can point out a 3RR violation to back up your accusations against one of the three other people you were in a dispute with, I would be delighted to review. - Kuru, are you daft or something? The whole point of tag-team edit warring is that users collaborate to AVOID violating 3RR and try and bait a user they're tag teaming against into breaking it so as to get him blocked (and you were dumb enough to facilitate this for them). It's been amply documented that Frotz, Shrike and Estlandia have been tag teaming against altetendekrabbe. User:Future Perfect at Sunrise warned them about it at WP:3RR previously. So OF COURSE he's not going to be able to point out a 3RR violation by any one of those users! That's the whole freakin' point of tag teaming! Seriously, this is so incredibly stupid it's making my head spin.VolunteerMarek 11:59, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Consider yourself fortunate this is only a month (which is an escalation from previous blocks). Your WP:TE is blatant. Your attempts after being rightly reported for 3RR to then discredit your accuser by canvassing some favourite friends was even more disruptive. You're either going to get how this projects works, or not - if not, give up now (✉→BWilkins←✎) 11:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
This is idiotic. You morons just rewarded gaming and disruptive behavior by a group obnoxious tag teamers, who've been trying to get this user for a month now. I'm sorry BWilkins but it's very obvious that YOU are the one who doesn't get how this project (really) works. You're clueless.
And people wonder why this project is dying. Maybe cuz the admin corps consists of twits.VolunteerMarek 11:48, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Bwilkins (talk | contribs) changed block settings for Altetendekrabbe (talk | contribs) with an expiry time of Sun, 19 Aug 2012 11:32:27 GMT (account creation blocked, cannot edit own talk page) ‎(Revoking talk page access: inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked: WP:NPA while blocked)". Did you just block the user merely for posting an unblock request???

@kuru, user estlandia has now removed content, right after you blocked me [43]. here is another discussion, confirming tag-teaming, [44]. and, i *did not break the 3-rr*! this is confirmed by other admins. please. check the diffs, and you'll see that two of the edits are unrelated. as i wrote on the noticeboard:.shrike is edit warring against consensus. he is added unrelated reverts to his diff-list (the 2. and 5. diff). he removed sourced content. my revert was totally justified (which amounts to a *single* revert of his *disruptive* edit.) shrike became *disruptive* because his misrepresentation of sources, his edit warring allegations ended in a total failure (before you came along and blocked me). he is deliberately made new disruptive edits so that he get reverted... this is a blatant attempt to game the system. shrike should be blocked for disruptive editing. as noted by admin Penwhale i did not break the 3-rr as the 2. diff is totally unrelated to the others.-- altetendekrabbe  12:23, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I am not endorsing or challenging the block as I do not have all the facts; however, I would like to clear up one issue. Altetendekrabbe, you keep arguing that you did not break 3RR because your some of your reverts were unrelated. 3RR states that if you make more than three reverts on a page, you can be blocked and, crucially, a revert counts as removing an edit "whether involving the same or different material each time" (my emphasis). Even if some of your reverts were for a completely different issue, you still made four reverts to that page in 24 hours and so you did break 3RR. As I said, I will not comment on the block or the accusation of tag-teaming because I do not have all the facts; nevertheless, you did break 3RR. ItsZippy (talkcontributions) 12:50, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
sorry, but shrike removed long-standing content so that he could be *reverted*, don't you get it?[45] he is playing games and now you're letting him escape. in another revert, i reverted back in a reliable secondary source which was removed by *another* user. i can also add estlandia's attempt to tag-team here, [46] and here [47]... and he doesn't even participate in the discussions. you are now actually encouraging tag-teaming as a way to push a particular pov, leaving lone editors like myself defenseless. -- altetendekrabbe  14:03, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

@Future Perfect at Sunrise, what is troubling about the whole situation is the fact the tag-teaming party of shrike and estlandia escaped this attempt as well. their gaming of the rules are so blatant and so clear that it warrants long bans on them as well. to block me for one whole month for fighting against removal of sourced content, fighting against misrepresentation of sources by user shrike (see talk on the dhimmitude page), and fighting against the blatant tag-teaming is just mind blowing. if shrike and estlandia are not blocked then at least reduce my sentence.-- altetendekrabbe  14:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello altetendekrabbe. Please try to take this advice to heart. Wikipedia is filled with people who play a game, and they play it very well. They know what will get them blocked, they know what will get others blocked. They know that the 3RR is a "bright line" and that if they can team up with another user they can escape crossing that line while enticing a lone user to do so. They know that admins are reluctant to actually look at the content of what is being reverted, so they have no qualms putting in pure horseshit into an encyclopedia article. They know that there is no effective means of enforcing the policies that, if this place (and its admins) were actually serious about making an "encyclopedia", actually matter, those being the content policies. You got suckered into believing that WP:NPOV and WP:RS matter as much as WP:EW and WP:CIVIL. They dont, and they never have.

When you come across an issue in which several users are violating the content policies, stop reverting. Just accept that the article is garbage for the time being, which really shouldn't get you down as most articles on Wikipedia are garbage. Get help from others, do not try to fix the problem yourself. Start an WP:RFC, go to WP:NPOV/N and WP:RS/N, do whatever you can to get other editors involved. That is the only way to deal with problems, and problem users, like this. If you can get several uninvolved editors to form a consensus and others continue to put garbage into an article, at that point they can be dealt with through administrative channels. But if you let them stoke an edit-war and get you past that "bright line" all that will happen is what just happened.

As a rule of thumb, if you make an edit, including a revert, that is reverted, do not re-revert. Go to the talk page and leave the contested material in the article for the time being. If the talk page does not have uninvolved editors chiming in, raise the issue at a content noticeboard. If you need more outside intervention, open an RFC. But dont play that game that others are playing. You will lose if you do so. Take care, nableezy - 20:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

thanks, i'll certainly heed your advice. i usually don't use administrative noticeboards even when i'm harassed and hounded. but that has to change from now on.-- altetendekrabbe  20:55, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
The most important thing you can do from now on is not perform more than 1 revert. Not even 1 revert a day, but if you make one revert and it is reverted, stop right there. Dont revert again until you know that there is a consensus for your position from uninvolved editors. In fact, if you were to make a commitment to doing that now, I dont see why you couldnt be unblocked right away. Do not forget, many others are just playing a game. Dont play it with them. nableezy - 21:30, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
