Masturbation article and User:Picker78

Hey, Fluffernutter. I'm asking this out of curiosity: Did you see the posts I left at MuZemike's talk page about User:Picker78, and this is what led you to semi-protect the article? And/or was it seeing the WP:Dummy edit comments left between the two of us (me and Picker78) that led you to semi-protect the article? Flyer22 (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Muzemike mentioned on IRC that there was weirdness going on on the article. I took a look and decided to try semi-protection, but you should keep in mind that your behavior there was really, really not wise, especially since I know you have a somewhat problematic history in sex-related topics. Carrying on an argument in dummy-edit summaries? Why? What was that going to do other than make you look just as disruptive as the IP editor? I gave you the benefit of the doubt as far as choosing to semi the article instead of full-protect it and prevent you from editing as well, because I saw IP vandalism in the history, but you were part of the problem today too and if someone objects to the semi on that basis, they won't be far wrong.

Fluffernutter, I'm not sure what "somewhat problematic history in sex-related topics" you are referring to, unless you are speaking of my brother (and his editing issues that have been related to me) who has largely not edited in sex-related topics (whether he was an IP or a registered editor) and/or you mean the Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Sexology/Evidence case that concerns my interaction with a few editors (which is only heated regarding two, minus James Cantor), but rarely ever has my editing of sex-related articles (or any other type of topic) been considered problematic. Were my dummy edit responses at the Masturbation article wise? No. But I did consider leaving that initial note wise, and I did stop a good number of minutes (with a note to the IP that I would be stopping) before you showed up there. I responded to the IP two times so that others who may not be familiar with the Picker78 case would know better than what the IP was stating. Thank you for semi-protecting the article. I won't care much if it's unprotected, especially since I don't significantly edit that article and have no interest in doing so. Flyer22 (talk) 23:48, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Was wondering why

you declined Oversight for this AF. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 20:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Because it doesn't meet our suppression policy. There's no libel or defamation. There's no disclosure of private information. It's not even a threat of violence, which could possibly have an IAR suppression argued for it among the Oversighters. Certainly it's in poor taste and not constructive feedback, but it's not an oversight issue. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:01, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, well I guess I had been thinking that since it was advocating a type of harm/violence that it was eligible, that if this sentence had been posted anywhere else on WP (talk page, article, userspace), it probably would have been revdel'ed or oversighted. Thanks for replying, Shearonink (talk) 21:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

The feedback is already hidden, which is the AFT equivalent of revdelete. Like I said, not constructive feedback, but not suppressable. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:20, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Topic ban

Regarding my recent topic-ban, I would like to appeal and request for the topic ban to be shortened, if not overturned.

I appreciate the comment of concerned editors who have determined that my edit propositions have some value and merit, and indeed improves the quality of articles in Wikipedia. I am happy for being recognized for my good faith intention to achieve neutrality in Wikipedia articles. I concur that a one-year topic ban is a bit harsh - "Devil's Advocate" found some merit in nominating "The Hole" for speedy deletion and "BTfromLA" and "JN466" have both attested to my value as an editor. I must emphasize that when several editors maintained that the page (The Hole) should be left as it is, I complied with Prioryman and the other editors and informed Prioryman that I can defer to the decision and will resort to suggesting NPOV edits on the page. Again, I've complied with Wikipedia policy. I therefore request your good office to shorten the span of the topic-ban; to enable me to continue on striving for NPOV while also editing non-Scientology related pages as well and generally improving the quality of Wikipedia articles.NestleNW911 (talk) 19:57, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
