Good call

...here. I was getting ready to do that. John Reaves 20:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I was waiting for one more post to WT:RFAR but then I checked and saw he was trolling Giano too. Unacceptable. Thatcher131 20:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Clerk status

My page and the clerk page show you as no longer a clerk (NYB indicated you retired in August), yet I see you doing clerk functions. What is your status? If you previously retired, when did you return? Or were you really just inactive for a while? Cheers, NoSeptember 12:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that I fit into any particular pigeon hole. I retired, rather than list myself as inactive, for several reasons, one of which is that I do not intend to open or close or babysit any more cases. However, I still sometimes chat with the other clerks on IRC, and if I see something that needs doing, I may occasionally do it. Feel free to categorize me in any way you prefer.

So long as we do not refer to the rule of 80. Thatcher131 16:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I claim the right to defend me

I was preparing a comment on my talk page, to show why my ban is uncorrect and excessive. I had not the right to reply to my last block, and to defend my self. As a consequence a block of one week, was changed into a permanent block and ban. My request is based on the following therms (see the link. [2]) I was judged as a consequence of several violations that I *never* did and about a supposed "general incivility" based on few minor accidents: I never inserted insults in my edits, despite the kbyte of insults I've received. So, I simply refuse the label of "uncivil", and I can provide several arguments for this claim. I do not ask my unblocking for now, but just the right to edit in my talk page to show my good faith. Nevertheless and administrator has blocked my page. See [3]. Not only I am a good contributor, but I was sentenced on the base of false evidences, and I can provide sources for my claim (and I was working for this). Most of all, the claim I reverted the edits "I did not like", is false: I've reverted just the edits offensive claims, as (I thought) it was my right, I did it in good faith (as usual) and perhaps because nobody defended me. Regards. user:Giovanni Giove, 16:07, 4 December 2007

I support the above claim. It seems there it is a well orchestrated "attack" against Giove by a group of Serbocroatians (centered around user:Kubura).

I have been accused of being a sockpuppet of Giovanni Giove by User:AlasdairGreen27, a "boy living in Ljubiana" (Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Giovanni Giove (4th)), even if there were undeniable proofs that my IP is totally unrelated with that of Giove (I live in Florida, while he lives in Italy). Please read:Conclusions This Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Giovanni_Giove_(3rd) shows Cherso is unrelated to Giove. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Since last year Kubura has continuously provoked Giove, irritating him even in the Italian wikipedia. The minimum of offense this croat writes is to call ignorant whoever disagrees with his croatian POV (totally based on unreliable references from the Tito era). There it is an enormous and incredible amount of edits by this Kubura requiring everything against Giove from many users and admins: just read, please, his talkpage & contributions in the last years. Kubura has even been accused of using many "sockpuppets" by another user named Paxequilibrium, but in the "conclusion" of the case he has not been totally cleared by sure proofs. And the "boy living in Ljubiana", who has just accused me, repeats the exact phrases of this Kubura and writes edits to many users in the same way....

Now that these croatian users have "destroyed" Giove with a ban, who is going to face (with continuous edits from the Italian side) their croatian nationalistic POVs in the dalmatian topics? That is why they have provoked him - day after day, month after month - to do histerical edits (that generated a ban by admins who seems "too much friendly" toward the croatian side). I am now afraid that the croatian group (Kubura, Zenanarh, Direktor, etc..) has obtained fully the wanted objective: Free hands to do whatever they want on the Dalmatia-related articles of the English Wikipedia.

This is why I hope that you can help him with his ban. May be he can reach an agreement with you.

Sincerely. An old exiled from Dalmatia, who fully support Giovanni Giove in order to get a "balanced" Wikipedia.--Cherso (talk) 04:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
