Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Sri Lanka". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 21 April 2012.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

:Request for arbitration

Please edit in only your section and not in Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter section. I have moved your comment. If you continue to place comments there they will be removed or moved. As an Arbitration Committee Clerk, --Guerillero | My Talk 16:32, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your RFA

It appears someone has closed your RFA per WP:NOTNOW;. While this might be disappointing, please take a look at the comments in the oppose section, and read the guideline at that link, as it has some good advice for the future. Cheers. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April 2012

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for blatant vandalism and combative approach to edting, as you did at Sri Lanka. 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. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:29, 16 April 2012 (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).

Distributor108 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

What vandalism? user Boing! said Zebedee can consider DRN being filed on him Distributor108 (talk) 03:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The threatening, accusatory and combative tone of your unblock request indicate that you likely do not understand the reasons you were blocked and will continue the behavior that has resulted in multiple blocks. --Trödel 13:25, 17 April 2012 (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.

Actually, the vandalism claim is a mistake; a different user, User:Joelcres, added your name all over the article. I have since blocked that account indefinitely for vandalism. However, in the meantime, the issue has been raised at WP:ANI, and a number of editors are worried more generally about your battleground mentality, your inappropriate use of dispute resolution, your edit warring, and, most recently, your attempt to run for administrator status, apparently thinking falsely this would give you an edge in your editing of Sri Lanka. As I said on the articles talk page in response to your response to my full protection of that article, I seriously considered blocking you rather than fully protecting the article, as your edit warring was the main cause of the problem.
Given the concerns that others have expressed, and the fact that only 1/2 of Boing!'s block notice is wrong, I'm not comfortable unblocking you at the moment. I am going to ask for Boing!'s input given the error; I've also raised the point at the ANI discussion. You can read that discussion at WP:ANI#Sri Lanka; if you have anything you wish to contribute to that discussion, you can do so here and I or another editor will copy it over for you.
In the meantime, I think that many people might be more willing to consider an unblock if you would address the non-vandalism concerns above. If you are unblocked, will you stop your disruptive editing? Will you slow down your editing, consider sourcing more carefully, stop being combative, etc.? Qwyrxian (talk) 07:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was having technical problems with that article, and every time I tried to do a diff or look at a previous revision, I got a server timeout. So I apologise for misidentifying the author of that specific vandalism. But I did also look back at Distributor108's history, and I saw evidence of a long-standing battleground approach, and so I think some sort of block was warranted, even if I got the immediate event wrong. Anyway, I'm happy for any admin to unblock without consulting me, if they feel they have enough of a commitment to approach editing in a more constructive and collegial manner. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:39, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Boing! said Zebedee claim that I have a 'combat attitude' is debatable, I don't believe I do. And given the Admin Boing! said Zebedee carelessness I should be unblocked immediately. Also I didn't see the vandalism earlier, but this constitutes defamation, I want a global announcement on the ANI informing all other admins that may have seen this ANI that I was not responsible for the blatant vandalism and it was due to Admin false accusation Boing! said Zebedee. I don't appreciate any of the comments from Dennis Brown and Ravensfire I would like an apology from both of them for their offensive and degrading comments directed towards me. Also comment 10 [here] was added after the RfA was closed at 14:39, 16 April 2012‎, disobeying clear warnings at the top and buttom of the paged " The above adminship discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it.Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the talk page of either this nomination or the nominated user). No further edits should be made to this page. "Distributor108 (talk) 12:45, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not to put too fine a point on it, but when your response to what appears to be an honest mistake is to angrily demand that every user be directed to an ANI announcement of your innocence... well, it's hard to disagree about what Boing termed as your combative attitude. I do concur, however, that you did not vandalize the article as such - and I have changed the settings on your block to reflect this. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 13:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Boing! said Zebedee has admitted to the mistake on ANI, which you can see by reading the thread I linked to above. The comments from Dennis Brown and Ravensfire are perfectly appropriate comments for ANI--they attempt to substantiate the claims regarding more general problems with your editing, and no apologies are are owed to you. I have reverted the additional comment on the RfA; it doesn't really matter, since it's not like it's a page others will see, but, on principle, removing it is correct.

Now, onto the bigger issue: finding out whether you can be unblocked. Ultraexactzz has modified the block rationale, and thus it is clear in the logs that you are no longer blocked for vandalism. However, the consensus at ANI, currently, is that the block for disruptive editing is appropriate. So, the question is, are you willing to do what is necessary to be unblocked? I am willing to work with you to see if we can develop conditions under which you can be unblocked, but before we can do that, you're going to need to start to give some indication that you understand why you were blocked in the first place. I'm not asking you to grovel, or to apologize just for the sake of apologizing. But I am asking you to take a look at what I said above, what I said on Talk:Sri Lanka, and what other editors said on WP:ANI#Sri Lanka. If you're absolutely certain that you are 100% right and every other editor commenting is wrong...well, then you'll probably not be editing here anymore. So take some time. You're probably pretty upset right now, so this may even be something that you want to think about for a while. Once you want to start to address some of the underlying problems, we can see if there is a way to proceed. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I fully endorse Qwyrxian, especially regarding taking some time to reflect. I hope that you will be able to be unblocked in the future. --Trödel 15:00, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I need some time for myself to cool off at the moment, when I'm ready I'll take you up on your offer to work together to develop condition for my unblock also I would like a develop a policy to which Sri_lanka page will be edited in the future. In the mean time, could you revert the Sri_lanka article to the revision which had the dispute notices, and add the line "however Buddhism is placed at the foremost place, and it is also a constitutional obligation of the state to protect the Buddha Sasana doctrine, all other religions and faiths have the right to practice under the purview of Buddhism.", It would be most appreciated if you could discuss context of the constitutional paragraph with the inclusion of 'under the purview of Buddhism.' with the other editors. Thats all for now Thanks Distributor108 (talk) 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, for 3 reasons: First, I cannot both edit the article and act as a neutral admin on it. Second, you cannot edit by proxy while blocked. Third, there is no consensus on the article talk page for your position. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:54, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There not consensus for the part of the line 'under the purview of Buddhism.', for the rest of it there is consensus, if you read the constitution it says it there perfectly word for word. I was asking you to discuss the line 'under the purview of Buddhism.' with the context of the constitution with the other editors. And there dispute warning is pretty resonable considering there are multply sources to indicate the content is at dispute, and the dispute warnings also having been endorsed by Ravensfire. Distributor108 (talk) 03:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Even if you are correct on that point, the first two points still stand. At this point, you are not editing the article, and cannot use me or any other editor as a vessel to do that. If other editors still believe there is a consensus for those tags (or the other changes), then they are free to add them back to the article. But it will be up to them, not due to your request while you remain blocked. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:08, 18 April 2012 (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).

Distributor108 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

OK, I accept your offer, I'm willing to work with you to develop a condition for my unblock. First I'm still confused as what my 'combative attitude' is, could you show me examples of diffs, of where i displayed such 'combative attitude' and show me the correct way of responding. Distributor108 (talk) 08:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

If you honestly can't see that your attitude is combative, then I doubt that you have the competence to overcome the problems your editing has displayed. You don't need diffs to show your combative attitude: just look at your posts to this page since your block. Add that to all the past problems with your editing, including blatantly trying to become an admin so that you can abuse admin tools to your advantage in a dispute, numerous copyright infringements, persistent edit warring, etc etc etc, and I see no reason to suppose that unblocking you is likely to be a net positive for the project. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:49, 18 April 2012 (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.

Distributor108, I'll respond in more detail later with steps forward. In the meantime, is there any chance that you could archive some of the stuff on this talk page? Especially all of the no-longer relevant deletion notices; it would make it easier to see what info is current. This is not at all a requirement, just something that I think makes it easier to handle user's talk pages. However, if you do remove some of the info, do be sure to keep this section (you have to maintain the block notice and all unblock requests until such time as you are unblocked). Qwyrxian (talk) 03:03, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK done, please move the archived content to the archive page, as I cannot do that due to the false block issued by talk. Distributor108 (talk) 13:08, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page edits

Please, calm down a bit on talk pages. The section you added to Sri Lanka talk:Sri Lanka#Sharia law is not practiced in sri lanka is pretty aggressively written, with the bold font, disparaging remarks "This is like teaching 2 years olds" and other comments that push the limits a bit. Please don't post like that. It makes it very difficult to have reasonable discussions when you start with a hostile tone. You have a strong view about something but that post utterly rejects and demeans any other view. Ask yourself why would an editor with different have any desire to work with you at that point? Would you want to work with someone who disregards your view in such a manner? People will have different opinions.

Also, please read through the talk page organization guide. In particular, indenting your posts with colons : which helps keep things organized. Thanks! Ravensfire (talk) 16:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article is within the parameters of the Wikipedia guidelines, if you have a problem with the content of the article, Please raise you concerns in the talk page. Regarding copyright I have done what you requested. If what I did was not acceptable, Please tell me what is then acceptable. Distributor108 (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The copyright on this material belongs to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defence. If you have, as I suspect, simply send a message to Permissions claiming that the Ministry of Defence has allowed you to use their work, this will not be accepted. You will need to provide evidence from the MOD themselves demonstrating that they will allow this, or alternatively, show that they released it under CC-BY-SA.
Let's deal with the POV issue if you manage to get past the copyright problems. Until then, it's largely irrelevant. Yunshui (talk) 12:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Then what is acceptable? What evidence do you require from MoD to prove i own the copyright? Also why is it claiming "as a copyright infringement of http://reliefweb.int/node/438364 " This link clearly states MoD as the owners of the copyright! This copyright infringement claim is absurd.
I agree that releifweb.int was not the original source - that wasn't my insertion, and I've since found the correct original: [1] and included it in the deletion rationale. Unless you wrote the report, you don't own the copyright. If the MOD give permission for their documents to be used on Wikipedia, we would need some sort of official e-mail from their Press Relations or Publications Officer, or someone in a similar role, saying that they released the copyright under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, thus enabling anyone to use their text. Yunshui (talk) 12:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay to what addressee should the their official press relations officer send the email? And do you require any certain format for the email? Distributor108 (talk) 13:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They should send the confirmation to permissions-enwikimedia.org. As far as I know, there's no set format; as long as the email comes from the appropriate person in their office (verifiable by the return address) and clearly states that they release this document under the licenses listed above (and, as the sender, are authorised to do so), there should be no problem. Yunshui (talk) 13:05, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem, I do that soon. However in the meantime, can you remove the speedy deletion notice from the article. As I have provided a reasonable explanation, further there is no direct copyright claim from MoD, nor is their a claim in the original article. Distributor108 (talk) 13:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
User:Lectonar has already deleted the article. This is as it should be; it can be recreated once the copyright issue is settled. Yunshui (talk) 13:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How will I know Wikipedia accepted the copyright notice? Will i get a return message from permissions-enwikimedia.org Distributor108 (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Conventionally, you would place an {{OTRS pending}} tag on the article's talkpage. Since the talkpage has been deleted, this isn't an option (I suppose one could recreate it, but it would probably then be wiped under WP:G8). The sender of the e-mail to Permissions will get a response back, I suggest you request that they forward it to you to let you know whether the submission was accepted. Yunshui (talk) 13:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


As I told you I was in the process of the cleaning up the article to conform with WP guidelines, You need to allow me to clean it up before invoking WP:G8. WP:G8is usually invoked for articles that consistently fail to meet request for clean up or no going process for the clean up can be seen. Distributor108 (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

G8 is used for pages which rely on a nonexistent page - recreating the talk page for this article would come under that heading. It has nothing to do with article clean-up.
Wait for the ORTS report to come back clean, then recreate the article. Be prepared, however, to be challenged if it appears in the same form as before - whilst you may get around the copyright issue, that's but the first reason of many for deleting this article. If you're set on having it in Wikipedia, I suggest submitting it to WP:AfC first, to get much-needed feedback. Once the copyright clearance comes back, obviously. Yunshui (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Sri lanka Armed forces Conduct during war

The article Sri lanka Armed forces Conduct during war has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Regardless of the status of the OTRS ticket, this content is unencyclopedic as is. The text below should be summarized in an article.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 14:22, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I left some comments on the talk page about that. I *think* they're actually copying from us. I'm hoping you'll take a look and let me know what you think. When in doubt though, always throw up the flag on it. Copyright stuff is taken pretty seriously here. WP articles are, in fact, copyrighted, but in a way that allows others to copy our stuff with attribution. Annoying at times, but that's how the site is setup to work. Thanks!

If you want to put those massive tables onto the page, start a discussion on the talk page. Two separate editors have removed your additions of these tables so that shows that they are not wanted. If you put them back you will be violating WP:3RR and you may be blocked.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:23, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning remove the tables yourself or face a block.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:24, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite

Hello Distributor108. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

India FAR

Hi Distributor - I have removed your featured article review nomination of India, as you did not follow the proper process. The first step in nominating an article for FAR is to discuss the problems on the article talk page - if, after a week or two, there is no response or there is consensus that the article needs to go to FAR, then it can be nominated. Specifically regarding your nomination, there were a few issues: First, the fact that it has been 10 months since a previous review is not a big deal, as articles sometimes go years without one. Second, you need to be more specific with what you believe the issues are - you cannot just say 1(c), you need to provide examples of places in the article that are not referenced with high quality reliable sources. Third, I couldn't tell if one of your major reasons for nominating was the dead links - if so, although they should be mentioned during a review of an article that has a bunch of issues, if they are the only problem with the article then the article is not ready for a FAR. If you wish to continue with the FAR process for this article, I would suggest posting an expanded version of your concerns on the article talk page. It looks like there is a fairly active group of editors working on the article, so I hope that they will respond to your comments and we can prevent the need for a review. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 12:39, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2012 Indian Ocean earthquake

What is the meaning of this [3]? Lihaas (talk) 16:50, 11 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Its okey. Sorry for my reaction tppp ;)Lihaas (talk) 06:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Sri Lanka Air Force, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vision (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lanka edit warring

Please note that I will block you for edit warring if you again revert on Sri Lanka. I've looked over the past discussions, and as far as I can tell you are the only one holding that the 2001 census can be used, and numerous other editors are opposed. The consensus is clear; the responsibility lies with you to show consensus has changed. Note, however, that this does not mean you can just bombard the talk page with a repeat of the arguments from last time--you will need to specifically advance new arguments or show some reason why the previous consensus is inappropriate even though it was only a half year ago.

Unblock discussion

(Regarding the archiving, I can turn on autoarchiving if you like, via a bot that just archives things after a certain amount of time; I set my page to about 8-10 days, but you can probably set yours longer since your talk is not as active).

So I think there's an way to start and see if an unblock is possible: what was wrong with your last edit ([4])? How was that tone inappropriate? Qwyrxian (talk) 13:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Thank you, Please set it to 4 months please.

I would prefer if we start with evidence which is from prior to my block. However with this diff, everything was true expect for the word 'false', however I see that you have removed the Admin names that blocked me instead of the word 'false', can you tell me why you did this? Also with regards to the use of the word false, I belive that is correct, because the post is signed by me, and It is a true reflection of my opinion.

Archiving

Forgive the brief interjection ... Distributor108, I'm working on setting up your archiving for you using MiszaBot. Should be setup shortly and will run at some point later today, but usually not immediately (or soon). Ravensfire (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the archiving is setup to grab anything that's older than 120 days and archive it. I went ahead and marked your Welcome message with a Do Not Archive template in case you want to keep that one around as a nice marker, but just revert that edit to archive it if you want. If there are any problems, or the archive doesn't get as much as you'd like, just post here and I'll move it over for you. Ravensfire (talk) 16:36, 19 April 2012 (UTC) [reply]
