Having an enormous Nazi flag on your user page is not likely to encourage nice, friendly and collegiate editing. Please consider removing it.

Hi there! |
|||
You wrote, {{xt|i don't need your gay comments.}} - could you please explain; I'm sorry - there may be some linguistic issue here, but I understand the word "gay" to refer to homosexuality, which - as far as I am aware - is unrelated to our discussion. |

Thanks in anticipation, <small><span style="border:1px solid;background:#00008B">[[User:Chzz|'''<span style="background:#00008B;color:white"> Chzz </span>''']][[User talk:Chzz|<span style="color:#00008B;background-color:yellow;"> ► </span>]]</span></small> 00:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC) |

{{unblock reviewed|DISCLAIMER: I do not identify as a Nazi, Neo-Nazi, Facist, Neo-Fascist. I do not accept or agree with the actions or views of Hitler or any other dictators in the world for that matter. I do not hate Jews... in fact I have many jewish friends... |
|||
Hello, although this is technically an unblock appeal, it is really only a reason to explain.... you won't be in a mood to unblock me when I'm finished talking... :) |
|||
First of all I want to apologise, I should have thought before putting the giant swastika on my page. This is the reason for that... I have a few Jewish friends, and normally we sometimes make jokes about jews and christians and things like that. I never really make jokes about the holocaust, because that never go over well with them and it is not nice... well, apparently, a joke about jews being lawyers set one of my closest friends off who is not really a jew, but claims he is.... now he thinks I am a facist, nazi, and I hate jews.... i got''really'' frustrated and annoyed and so I came home and started messing around on my userpage... Second of all, i would like to ask why it is not permissable to "self identify as a nazi"? There are several userboxes dealing with this subject. There is even a userbox that states, "This user identifies as a ''Hitlerist!'' WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! You will let people say they support Hitler, but you won't let them say they are nazis?!? Being a nazi does not mean that you condone Hitler or his actions, it simple means that you support the theory of the politics behind Nazism.... you can be a nazi and not support the horrible eugenics policy. But if you are hitlerist, that obviously says you support all that... your arguement would of course be that it is offensive to jews.... well if you are taking that into account, then you should also ban anyone that says they identify as a communist. That can be extremely offensive to christians... if you want me to, I can talk about all the horrible things they did to christians in communist russia (with reference of a nice book). I think I will... one of the things they did was putting shackles on the ankles and wrists of christians with spikes of the inside that cut into your skin if you moved at all... and then they put starved rats into your cell that tried to eat you alive so you had to fight them off while your wrists and ankles are killing you. They also tied you to a cross and hung you upside down over a huge pile of other prisoners crammed into a small room. You were then forced to excrete over everyone. You were also stood upright in a box while they drove long nails into it. It was alright if you stood perfectly still, but you would have to stand there for hours and then your body would sway and poke into the nails. They also stood you naked in a freezer with a doctor nearby that signalled when you were freezing to death and then they would take you out and warm you up. They would do that for hours on end. Then they would beat you over and over again asking you to renounce Christ... the holocaust was horrible, but I would rather be gassed or hung by a nazi than endure those tortures for 18 years like one man who wrote a book about his experiences... so could you ban all communists please? |
|||
My last comment is in response to Chzz's question about me making the 'gay comment' statement. Nowadays the word gay is used for two meanings... one is homosexuality and the other is wierd, stupid, dumb... i was using the second connotation.... maybe if you people didn't spend so much time on this gay... sorry... stupid online encyclopedia you would realize how the [[real-life|real world]] uses words... |
|||
Even if you unblock me (which you won't... :)...) I will take a wikibreak... i don't want to become addicted to point of ruining my [[real-life|social life]]...... i have already recieved a punishment, never becoming an admin (the whole gay... sorry... dumb trust thing)... just know this... i would have enventually removed the swastika after I cooled down and because of your gay... sorry... dumb policy you have lost a serious editor... this whole thing has really annoyed me... |

The analogy you seek to draw is hollow; a transparent fallacy. Because some communists or particular member of other sociopolitical movement or religion did or stand for horrible things is not an indictment of the group/movement/religion itself. Posting a Nazi flag and proclaiming yourself as identifying as a Nazi is completely different. It has a very specific meaning and you cannot analogize it away in this fashion. You and everyone who might read this know what that flag means and what nazism stands for. As for a hitlerist userbox, if you tell me where that is I will go delete that and block the user who created it.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 20:12, 12 February 2011 (UTC) |

The problem is, this is still Wikipedia. It's pretty much guaranteed that you will get angry again. Conflicts happen all the time here. By the way, 'gay' is only a synonym for 'stupid' to people who believe that all gay people are stupid. It's not cool to use that way unless you want to be perceived as a homophobe. It's pretty lame for you to go on a lengthy rant defending Jews from bigotry if you're just going to use anti-gay bigoted language instead. I'm gay, so when you used an anti-gay slur, you lost any collaboration you might have gotten from me, for example.-[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 23:01, 13 February 2011 (UTC) |

{{unblock reviewed | 1=Then how do I communicate if I am blocked?

You can communicate by posting normally on the page. At any rate, if you believe that the term "gay" used pejoratively carries no negative connotations, you're going to find a lot of your future communication with a lot of people made a lot harder. That said, I'll leave the unblock situation to other admins to review. - [[User:Vianello|Vianello]] ([[User talk:Vianello|Talk]]) 23:29, 13 February 2011 (UTC) |

:I'm gay, and I told you that you have used an anti-gay slur. Your response was that you don't care what I feel, and you plan to continue using anti-gay slurs, because you've heard lots of other people use them. So your claim that you 'don't hate gay people' is a little pointless to me. But maybe some straight person will come along and unblock you. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 23:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC) |

Listen, I know I should not have said anything of what I did, but you guys are all judging me off of one thing I said, you won't even give me a chance to explain. First of all, FisherQueen, you act like I just blatantly ignored you, when I didn't. I never said that I would continue to say what I said. All I said was that, most people that say that aren't even thinking about homosexuality when they say, "that is so gay..."... Maybe they should think about it before they say it.... what i'm saying is that I have never thought about people being offended about it... i will not say that anymore... and also, why does saying that make me a homophobe? It doesn't mean I am afraid of gay people, it simply means I wasn't thinking... please think about this...

{{unblock reviewed|1=This is a legitimate unblock request. I understand why I was blocked, I made comments and posted a images on my userpage that were not appropriate and offensive. I am sorry for what I did and I now know how to contribute positively without offending anyone.

I have decided that I will only have userboxes that are related to Wikipedia views or status. I am really sorry for what I did and you can see that I can really make positive contributions.

As recently as earlier today you were displaying a box on this page that stated ''"This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous."''. Actions by you like that make it very difficult for any admin to take your 'sincere apologies' seriously. The admins have been extremely lenient in allowing 9 appeals for unblocking in just four days, usually three failed appeals is sufficient for the block to be made permanent and your ability to edit even this talk page removed. I strongly suggest you step away from the computer and post nothing for several weeks and allow this all to cool down.

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|The Bushranger}} (first, with 487 points) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}} finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2011/Round 1|here]]. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Jarry1250}} for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Stone}} for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching. |
|||
Some news for those who are interested- March will see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/March 2011|a GAN backlog elimination drive]], which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the [[Wikipedia:Contribution Team/Backlogs|Great Backlog Drive]], looking to work on clearing ''all'' of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you. |
|||
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content ''this year'' and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring|this page]]. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2011/Running totals|here]], and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen [http://toolserver.org/~jarry/wikicup/ here]. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 23:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC) |

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} with 231 points, who leads Pool H. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Piotrus}} (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "[[Wikipedia:Vital articles|vital]]") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]]. |
|||
A running total of claims can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2011/Running totals|here]]. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]].

Round 2 of the [[WP:CUP|2011 WikiCup]] is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}, who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing. |
|||
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Nergaal}} who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; [[WP:FS|featured sounds]], [[WP:FPO|featured portals]] and [[WP:FT|featured topics]]. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Candlewicke}} (who has been eliminated) for his work on [[WP:ITN|In The News]]. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual! |
