Request to allow holocaust denial

hello mr gordon im new to the world of wiki peadians so pls excuse my ignorance to my lack of protocol regarding wikipedia. i must stress that i am not a person who is prejudice to any subject even though i have my own views, but you seem to be ABSOLUTELY prejudice to anyone who QUESTIONS the shoa, let alone deny!. on my research in your DENIAL FORUM ,YOU AND MANY ADMINISTRATORS ...... ban and censor at the slightest question of the shoa. on reading your home page i share a lot of your interests,you seem rather interesting,though i ? your openmindedness .

i will be making my free speech regarding "MY REVISION" on the holocaust , so pls allow people thier forum, soapbox,banner,flyer,pamphlet,etc.... before labelling them "ANTI-SEMITIC,NAZI,ET AL"

FOR THE RECORD I DONT DENY THE ATROCITIES METE OUT BY THE NAZIS ,DURING THE WAR. REMEMBER WAR ITSELF IS A CRIME .

THERE WERE NO GASSINGS THERE WAS NO! EXTERMINATION PLAN FOR THE JEWS,HOMOS ,GYPSIES,FREE MASONS ETC AS I WILL DUELLY PROVE! SO PLS ALLOW PEOPLE THEIR FORUM .

DO NOT BAN OR LABEL PEOPLE!.....

YOU HAVE A NICE YEAR NOW12:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC) --Hejeb (talk) 12:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

• You have a nice year too. There is no "free speech" on Wikipedia; nor is Wikipedia a "forum"; nor is there any tolerance for holocaust deniers. Insert any of this garbage into Wikipedia and it will be removed immediately. Bye. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 15:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

• I can hardly wait. I predict a short editing half life.Die4Dixie (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

i dont understand what you mean about my intent being in question. i have a lot of questions about the Holocaust because to me it just doesnt add up. i learned about it from watching many documentaries on PBS and other TV outlets. but i dont think, for many reasons, that anywhere near 6,000,000 Jewish victims were gassed or even died during the German occupation of Europe. that doesnt make me anything except a free thinker.

You may wish to read a book on the matter. Those published by university presses are usually worth reading. -- Hoary (talk) 05:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you make any sense of this?[2]

I'm not asking you to intervene. I just want answers. Thanks. deeceevoice (talk) 19:35, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I saw your comment. Thanks, JP. As near as I can tell, Harrison's got his jaws tight over me challenging his, IMO (and an opinion shared by others), precipitous lockdown of the article and this.[3] Absent any attempt at explanation, my guess is he's trying to throw his weight around and prove that, since he's an admin, he can do anything he pleases. deeceevoice (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

JP, I haven't taken the time to read the stuff on Harrison's page; I just can't. I'm in the middle of a terrible deadline crunch, exacerbated by the time I've already spent here today. But I wanted to drop by to say thanks. You did more than I asked.

From a quick glance at the comments, it looks as though the ban may have grounds, technically -- even though those of us involved in all of this know it is wholly unjustified. But *chuckling* you win some, you lose some. ;) Even if it's the case that the ban sticks, I'm not in the least nonplussed.

I'm cool.

All things considered, Wikipedia is a minuscule part of my life -- a place to go to kill time when I need a break from a tedious work project. If the ban sticks, then I'll be less likely to be under the gun -- as I am now -- from having wasted far too much time here.

And that's a good thing. The project's not going anywhere -- (an unintended double entendre!) -- and no one editor is indispensable.

Thanks for taking the time.

Stay well. Peace! deeceevoice (talk) 20:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

You too. Always good to see you here. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 21:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

FYI, that silly ban was overturned.  ;) deeceevoice (talk) 18:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Sock confirmation question

Hi, I notice that you changed this sock from suspected to confirmed, here. I'm trying to run down other socks of the same puppeteer, I was wondering if this was from a CU or from other evidence? From direct evidence, I believe there are several others that are definitely socks of the same, I'd like to find something more definitive. Any help or suggestions nailing these down would be appreciated. FWIW, my notes on some of these can be found here. AKRadecki^Speaketh 02:48, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

• It was a real obvious checkuser result, as are all the others you listed. One was not blocked; I took care of User:PLM Clan. Let me know if you need me to check any unblocked users, or verify ones you suspect. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 04:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Many thanks...I'll holler if I find more. AKRadecki^Speaketh 17:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
    • User:Ancient sunburst was blocked for being a sock, and appealed, which I declined after reviewing his edit history (seems pretty clear, to me). However, he's appealed the block again...any chance you can confirm that this, too, is really a sock? Thanks! AKRadecki^Speaketh 02:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
      • Yup. Y'know, WP:DUCK should work for these. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 06:35, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Notes

• User talk:Asgardian
• current AN/I

• mentoring request

Also, please check out User talk:Nightscream#Asgardian. On this last, it's a past discussion, and I'm only noting it for previous context. As an aside, I'd be interested in your thoughts in how you feel I acted/reacted, and whether appropriately. - jc37 12:22, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

• Looks just fine by me. I only stuck my nose in because I saw an unblock request, and looked at the cited examples of incivility, and was distressed by the broad definition of incivility being used as a bludgeon. I didn't factor any of the history in, because this particular incivility complaint was on its face invalid. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 16:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

A sleeper sock

This user Magwayen (talk · contribs · logs) started editing again shortly after all of User:Richard Relucio known socks were blocked, having been dormant since July of 2008. Same articles, same pattern (lots and lots of minor edits). Enough evidence to file a checkuser? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Jamie, I was about to bring this up here, too. I've been watching this editor, and the edits do fit the pattern. AKRadecki^Speaketh 01:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 Likely. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 05:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
