Caution

Calling an admin a "disruptive editor" might not be your best course of action. :( ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:02, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Duke53 is not an admin. Routerone (talk) 10:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, but you zapped the admin's comments with the same sweeping comment. It's best to keep things on the article talk page until agreement can be worked out. And if someone posts a warning you consider patronizing, just ignore it. But be careful. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:29, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The admin comments being removed was a mistake. I overlooked them and didnt mean it in removing Duke's post. Routerone (talk) 10:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replied

But on my own talk page. I just wanted to make sure we don't play talk page tag. :) - Gilgamesh (talk) 19:20, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

noindex

Context: [1], [2]: Dougweller (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is correct that the noindex tag should remain on your userspace essays- see WP:REMOVED. It's actually debateable if these essays meet WP:FAKEARTICLE or WP:UPNO. In other words, they aren't intended to become articles, right? tedder (talk) 20:33, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dont intend them to be articles, no. Routerone (See here!) 20:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind the essays being there, but others may. At the very least you should re-add the noindex tag, and I would strongly recommend changing your signature from pointing to it, as that draws attention to pages that are WP:UPNO. It's your own choice, of course. tedder (talk) 20:39, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can re-add the NOINDEX tag, why would it come up on google anyway? Nonetheless. I'd prefer to keep the signature bit for now. Routerone (See here!) 20:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replacing the tag, but I also think your sig's a bad idea. Dougweller (talk) 20:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While WP:REMOVED#On others' user pages says that the NOINDEX should remain during discussion, I don't really see why it is needed permanently. The page clearly indicates that it is an essay. However, it does seem to fall under WP:UPNO#Excessive unrelated content; it doesn't really have much to do with building an encyclopedia. See also WP:NOTWEBHOST. I would recommend that Routerone save his essay and possibly post it elsewhere on the web if he so chooses. I'll run this through WP:AfD in a couple days if it hasn't been done yet. ...comments? ~BF izz 23:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does the Book of Mormon also start out in agate type and gradually shrink to footnote size? :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bfizz- ignoring the UPNO issue, I don't think you are reading the noindex guideline the same way that I am. I'm parsing it like this: "A number of important matters may not be removed by the user ... added to user pages and subpages under this guideline (except with agreement or by consensus)". In other words, noindex should be used on user pages, but isn't needed on user talk pages. tedder (talk) 00:54, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found the policy around noindex to be rather unclear, so have started a discussion at Wikipedia Talk:User pages#NOINDEX situations unclear. I copied most of your tedder's latest comment here, but tried to keep that discussion detached from this incident. Routerone, I am still going to WP:MFD (not AfD, sorry for the mixup) your subpage, based on the policies I cited before. I hope you don't perceive this as ill will, because it's not. ...comments? ~BF izz 04:24, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And please do not remove the noindex tag again. See WP:REMOVED which lists this as something you should not remove. Dougweller (talk) 19:38, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I'm not nominating your "paradise of skepticism" essay because it is directly relevant to Wikipedia. ...comments? ~BF izz 04:34, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

However, you might want to consider modifying or deleting that essay as well, so that it doesn't come across as an "attack page". Other editors may send it through an MFD if they feel it is offensive. ...comments? ~BF izz 19:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Routerone, did you request the page's deletion? That's what the MFD page says, but I see no comment from you saying that. It seems odd to me that you would delete it, since about 1/2 the people in that discussion agreed that the page could be kept. ...comments? ~BF izz 05:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I asked for the page deletion yes. I realised it would be wiser to create a wikia wiki to host my content [3], and thus I can still promote it on my userpage and its content will not come under attack by wikipedia editors. I also re-created the other page that was deleted there. Routerone (talk) 07:53, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

I strongly feel that the wisest thing for you to do would be to stay entirely away from Duke53's user and user talk pages. Your recent actions at his talk page seem to be more provocative than constructive. I think you will simply make things worse by taking the approach you've chosen. alanyst ^/talk/ 15:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you back.

Hey Routerone,

Good to see you stepping back into the fray. I've been following the article and seem to be confused about how it keeps changing without me knowing. Is it not Wiki policy that edits be discussed in the discussion page first (or at least following)? How does one go about being alerted to changes as they occur. Any insights into John Foxe's Fanny Alger obsession? He seemed to have mellowed for a bit and been swinging to slightly balanced and then he drags this one out. Is this his past M.O. or or are the moments of 'balance' merely strategic? And then there's COgden. I made the mistake of questioning his religion (which I see may be bad Wiki form). But his positions on Joseph Smith's history look nothing like the positions I have seen from any Mormons I know (except for the ones who say that are Mormons who have now found Jesus). Any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiandy1 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Joseph Smith, Jr.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24h for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The complete report of this case is at WP:AN3#User:John Foxe reported by User:Routerone (Result: Both 24h). EdJohnston (talk) 05:00, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

I was not edit warring and did not violate WP:3RR. I dicussed and justified each of my changes on the talkpage. I feel this block is unjust considering I stepped aside editing the page and drew up a report about the conflict instead. I did not battle or continue on reverting, whereas the other editor did. This block is unjust and unecessary. Routerone (talk) 09:14, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You clearly were edit-warring, especially based on the tone of your edit summaries. You did the right thing by reporting the other editor to 3RR; you did the wrong thing by reverting back to your preferred version - this is textbook edit-warring. During this brief block, you may wish to review WP:BRD, WP:DR, and WP:EW. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:06, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Religion categories

Hello. Please would you have a look at WP:BLPCAT, in reference to your recent addition of a religion category to Phil Cave. Wikipedia policy on biographies of living persons requires that religion categories should not be included unless the person has self-identified with the religious affiliation in question, and their belief is relevant to their public life or notability, and reliable published sources cited in the subject's article verify this. In accordance with BLPCAT, I've removed the category from Phil Cave's page. Please feel free to re-add it, in compliance with the above policy. thanks, Struway2 (talk) 20:57, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

edit warring

Please cease edits to the lede of Joseph Smith, Jr. immediately. tedder (talk) 23:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked again

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for chronic edit warring on LDS articles. I watched the effort to deal with you with a short block recently with some interest to see whether another warning shot would do any good. Alas, it did not. I see no reason to believe that you will ever be capable of collaborative editing without edit warring. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
