User talk:Zengar Zombolt

allkpop

allkpop.com is first and foremost a blog. It is a news blog, yes, but a blog. It tends to be biased, publishes rumours as fact, and has misleading stories. It really doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources.

I know it's difficult to find a good English sources for K-Pop, but that doesn't mean that poorer ones should be used instead. If you look at the Oh! (album) page, you'll see that an English (actual) news source is used. So it's doable. Normally speaking, though, Korean news sources are used instead on most of these pages.

I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. SKS (talk) 03:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

You left a templated WP:COI warning on Steve Baker's talk page. In case you are not aware, it is not considered good form on WP to template the long-term users, and there are few contributors more regular or more prolific that Mr Baker. If you have a question about something he is doing, a personal note citing your specific concern is much more likely to attract an appropriate response. As an aside, one does not have a conflict of interest just because one has a personally-related interested in a topic, or no one with a heart condition could write about Cardiac care, or photographers about photography.

(I have moved your reply to my comment above here to keep the conversation coherent.)

A user's time spent on wikipedia or edit count is irrelevant to how they should be treated or how their actions should be viewed, and that you seem to think otherwise is appalling. Especially due to the nature of Aspergers syndrome, Aspies editing the article on their own special corner of Autism is undesirable to a neutral point of view.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 23:17, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion on not templating the regulars is noted, but it is the standard, nonetheless. It is also your personal opinion that "Aspies editing the article on their own special corner of Autism is undesirable to a neutral point of view.". That might be interpreted as a prejudice you hold expressed as an attack. I do not see any failure of NPOV by Mr Baker on the talk page or in the article. As for Mr Baker's contributions to the article Asperger syndrome, as far as I can see, he added something to the article on January 31st that was not contentious, and has disagreed with you, accompanied by a coherent rationale suggesting another look at the concern again if or when the DSM is changed, in a !vote on the article's talk page. I suggest that you step back from labelling behaviours which are not in evidence. Mr Baker can certainly speak for himself should more need to be said.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for repeated abuse of editing privileges. Please stop. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below. tedder (talk) 23:38, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Zengar Zombolt (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

tedder has accused and blocked me of vandalism without ever approaching me about the issue before the block or giving a specific reason beyond a nebulous citation of "abusing editing privileges". I am very confused as to why I was blocked as I have not engaged in any vandalism. I have recently giving several conflict of interest warnings to editors involved in the merge dispute at Asperger syndrome who displayed asperger-like tendencies in the arguments, but the warnings were meant to help the neutrality of the article and I do not feel they were vandalism. Even if they were, the issue could and should have been resolved by tedder bringing up the issue on my talkpage rather than blocking me out of the gate. Regardless, I have no intention to vandalize wikipedia and only wish that all sides of the arguments are heard, and so if unlocked will not be vandalizing wikipedia. Thank you, DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 23:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Hmm. I haven't unblocked you for vandalizing. And you've been warned by several users for today's over-the-top disruptive behavior, you obviously saw the warnings because you've removed most of them. If you want specifics, I'd be happy to provide them. tedder (talk) 23:46, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You cited vandalism in the block, so I'm confused that you're now saying that isn't what you blocked me for. I'm not sure why you're calling my warnings uncivil and disruptive. Yes, I did see the questions of several users, and was in the process of addressing them when you blocked me. If they were in fact found to be disruptive/incivil after conversation with the concerned users, then I would have removed them. Regardless, I feel a 2 week block is completely over the top for this even if I am in the wrong, and also feel that you making the block is inappropriate given our past interaction.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 23:52, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see where I've cited vandalism. Please give a diff to that. Our past interaction has been based on your disruptive behavior. tedder (talk) 23:54, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You piped "abused of editing privleges" in the block you just gave me to vandalism.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 23:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To the second administrator: I agree strongly with tedder. The user's contributions over the last few hours have been a continuous stream of personal attacks. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second admin, Tryptofish and I have been involved in disputes regarding Crucifixion and its spinoff articles, along with tedder, and since the dispute he has been wikihounding me. His opinion is biased and I strongly recommed you to disregard it.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 23:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User seems to be saying that he sees nothing wrong with what he has done. Please note that user has a history of falsely accusing tedder of having a personal involvement, when tedder is simply doing the right thing. And no, I am not hounding anyone. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:57, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see anything wrong with what I did at the time, although I now realize thanks to Ragib and Bielle that it was. Disruption was not my intent. My accusations towards tedder were his use of personal attacks towards me, as well as ignoring attempts by me to talk to him about the problem (as he seems to be doing again here now that I've answered him) and my opinion that he acted with bias at Crucifixion in art. That they were false is your own personal opinion. Frankly, the very fact that you have now involved yourself in this dispute is evidence of your hounding me.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 00:09, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, I may not be accomplishing much by this, but my involvement is the result of your attacks on me today at my own talk page. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:13, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well,

"I have recently giving several conflict of interest warnings to editors involved in the merge dispute at Asperger syndrome who displayed asperger-like tendencies in the arguments, but the warnings were meant to help the neutrality of the article" -- this statement speaks for itself. You gave fake warnings to several other editors based on your imaginary claim of their physical and mental health ... that's simply wikihounding.
the issue could and should have been resolved by tedder bringing up the issue on my talkpage rather than blocking me out of the gate. -- well well well ... I brought your recent disruptive behavior to your notice in several polite comments in your talk page, but rather than responding to any messages, you blanked/reverted/undid any attempt in communicating the problems in your recent actions. So, please don't pretend that you were not informed of your disruptive behavior.
You also made a disparaging comment in a recent undo-edit summary in your talk page about sufferers of autism.

All these recent disruptive behaviors are enough for a block, and I endorse this. From your actions, it seems you are unwilling to communicate with other users, and perhaps a block will give you enough time to reflect on your recent behavior. --Ragib (talk) 23:51, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems I was wrong about issuing the COI warnings, so if/when unblocked I'll take them down. Thank you for discussing this with me, Ragib (and Bielle as well, above). I removed your comments, Ragib, because I was going to respond to you on the initial talk page you responded on, Niaz. The edit summary was made out of frustration and I apologize.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 00:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In my non-admin opinion, the block is appropriate. Zengar Zombolt has repeatedly removed warnings on his talk page, but not desisted in the behavior for which the warnings were issued. Removing warnings is fine, see WP:REMOVED. But, as I noted on my own talk page, User talk:TJRC#February 2010, the removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. Zengar Zombolt is reading these warnings, but persisting in the very activity against which he was warned. TJRC (talk) 00:08, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had no time to change my behavior because I was blocked in the middle of responding to the warnings. My intent was not disruption, and a block is not necessary to prevent further disruption from me.DaiZengar ^{Smite evil} 00:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
