Jimmy Wales quote: "My point is, there is absolutely no need to impugn a real person with such terms as "liar" or "lied" or "hoax" or "fraud" and all the rest. We can and should refrain from personal attacks on *everyone*, at all times, as much as we humanly can. The point is, we treat everyone with courtesy and respect. You have no idea if this was actually the subject of the article doing this, or some enemy of his trying to make him look bad on the Internet. In any case, it doesn't matter. Not our problem. We are writing an encyclopedia, not calling people names. :)--Jimbo Wales 16:02, 30 September 2006 (UTC)"[reply]

But there are Wikipedia admins who do it with impunity. Good advice but the words have little effect.--Fahrenheit451 17:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-== AfD nomination of Patter drill ==

He does not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patter drill]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. <!-- Template:AFDWarning --> '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 21:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

-==Orphaned non-free image (File:Wilhelmzaisser.jpg)==
-You've uploaded '''[[:File:Wilhelmzaisser.jpg]]''', and indicated that it's used under [[WP:NFCC|Wikipedia's rules for non-free images]].  However, it's not presently used in any articles.  Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

-==Proposed deletion of Tempo sustainable design network==
-[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]
-A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[Tempo sustainable design network]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process{{#if: |&#32; because of the following concern:|.}}
-:<b></b>
-All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).  You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:Tempo sustainable design network|its talk page]].
-Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning -->.

-==Thanks for the message==
-I'm not sure about user JD554. This is the first time i've encountered him. I'm yet to have a word from him about the promo covers [[User_talk:JD554#Spaceman_promo_covers]]. Because i don't think i was using those images unfairly, i provided a license and everything that's required. i must have uploaded 30 images till now, and this is the first problem of this kind i've come across.

-Most definitely not. --[[User:JD554|JD554]] ([[User talk:JD554|talk]]) 07:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
-== [[Copyfraud]] ==
-Here is the response I posted to your "warning" on my talk page:
-:It appears to me that you are pushing a POV, promoting claims made in partisan citations as if they were facts, and have a major [[WP:OWN]]ership problem. I have explained edits in edit comments and on the talk page which you have ignored. "Established edits" mean nothing here, especially when they violate policy. Please read WP:RS, WP:NPOV and, heck, WP:KETTLE before trying to complain about my edits.
-Frankly, I've been letting things slide on that article that shouldn't. The fact that you are annoyed by what should be uncontroversial edits to clean up the article is not encouraging. [[User:DreamGuy|DreamGuy]] ([[User talk:DreamGuy|talk]]) 15:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

-Duly noted.
-The privilege of participating in this collaborative endeavor is contingent on accepting, and following, the community rules.  You are correct that you are allowed refuse to participate and have stated clearly your intention to do so; accordingly, your account has been blocked indefinitely. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Coren|Coren]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User Talk:Coren|(talk)]]</sup> 19:47, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
-:As your remarks were directed at me, I have decided to unblock you pending further investigation. I would be grateful if you would clarify whether it is your intention to raise this matter in the Florida Courts and, if not, what was the purpose of your comment? &nbsp;[[User:Roger Davies|<span style="color:maroon; font-variant:small-caps">'''Roger&nbsp;Davies'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Roger Davies|'''talk''']]</sup> 19:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
-::The relevant policy is [[Wikipedia:No legal threats]].  Site standards are that we don't mind if you actually do intend to take matters up in the Florida state courts (or any others), but you may not state the intention onsite or else you may be blocked indefinitely until you withdraw the threat.

-==Your block==
-I have been discussing your block at [[User_talk:Coren#Refused_to_cooperate.3F]].  If you have any comment or input you may wish to make it here.

-Just found out about Coren's retaliation for a completely imagined and false "legal threat". That is an example of administrative abuse.  I have asked for remedy.--[[User:Fahrenheit451|Fahrenheit451]] ([[User talk:Fahrenheit451#top|talk]]) 01:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

It may even be right.  But it's possible to be right in the wrong way.  Please defer to convention and post to arbitration proposed decision talk pages instead of to the decision itself.

-*Other restrictions :
-**{{User|Jossi}} gave up his status as an administrator in the face of controversy concerning his administrator actions during an arbitration case, he may not be automatically re-granted adminship. However, he is free to seek readminship, should he choose to do so, at any time by a request for adminship at Requests for adminship.
-**{{User|ChrisO}} is to abide to a binding voluntary restriction that within the Scientology topic (i) he limits his edits to directly improving articles to meet GA and FA criteria, using reliable sources; (ii) he makes no edits of whatever nature to biographies of living people; and (iii) he refrains from sysop action of whatever nature.
-**{{User|Jayen466}} is topic-banned from articles about Rick Ross, broadly defined.
-:<small>#Editors marked in * have since contacted the Committee.</small>
-Any editor who is subject to remedies in this proceeding, or who wishes to edit from an open proxy, is restricted to a single current or future account to edit Scientology-related topics and may not contribute to the topic as anonymous IP editors. Editors topic banned by remedies in this proceeding are prohibited (i) from editing articles related to Scientology or Scientologists, broadly defined, as well as the respective article talk pages and (ii) from participating in any Wikipedia process relating to those articles. Editors topic banned above may apply to have the topic ban lifted after demonstrating their commitment to the goals of Wikipedia and their ability to work constructively with other editors. Applications will be considered no earlier than six months after the close of this case, and additional reviews will be done no more frequently than every six months thereafter.
-Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, ban any editor from editing within the Scientology topic. Prior to topic banning the editor, the administrator will leave a message on the editor's talk page, linking to this paragraph, warning the editor that a topic ban is contemplated and outlining the behaviours for which it is contemplated. If the editor fails to heed the warning, the editor may be topic banned, initially, for three months, then with additional topic bans increasing in duration to a maximum of one year. Any editor who, in the judgment of an uninvolved administrator, is (i) focused primarily on Scientology or Scientologists and (ii) clearly engaged in promoting an identifiable agenda may be topic-banned for up to one year.
-All IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology and its associates, broadly interpreted, are to be blocked as if they were open proxies. Any current or future editor who, after this decision is announced, makes substantial edits to any Scientology-related articles or discussions on any page is directed to edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account, unless the user has previously sought and obtained permission from the Arbitration Committee to operate a legitimate second account. They shall edit in accordance to Wikipedia policies and refrain from advocacy, to disclose on the relevant talk pages any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page, and not through a proxy configuration.
