Personal note

I appreciate your recent edits on topics such as Daulatabad and Aurangabad. Keep up the good work! --nemonoman (talk) 13:21, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, when editing Aurangzeb please note that the article content has always been hotly contested, and you'll likely see many reverts and comments. I recommend using more citations in that article especially, which makes it easier for other editors to separate fact from opinion. --nemonoman (talk) 16:45, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for the advise. I would do the needful.

IP Block exemption

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Daniel Case (talk) 16:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Malik Ambar

Why do you keep putting that picture of him up? That's not how he looked. I discussed it many times on the page, but you keep undoing the edit. What's the deal? vap (talk) 17:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The picture does not say where the original portrait was, or when it was made. We need to know this. Daniel Case (talk) 05:11, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Put the date this appeared in the Times of India, or the publication info for the book, in the description template on the page. Daniel Case (talk) 05:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Also, why do you keep saying you are forced to block me? I seriously doubt that you have that authority, or ability for that matter. Please show this proof that the picture is a true depiction. I've seen none. I have however seen multiple pictures of Malik Ambar looking more like the links I gave in the discussion page(which you never replied to.) vap (talk) 05:21, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fine that you are from the town, and want to enlighten people. I did discuss it for a couple days and you never responded. I even posted links in the discussion page to show how he really looked. You still didn't respond. This is why the picture was taken down. It's better to have no picture than to have an incorrect one. You know that's not how a full blooded Ethiopian looks. Why would you even post that. Are you trying to mislead people? vap (talk) 05:36, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed GA status from this article. Please read the Good article nomination instructions, and please note that GA reviews (and passing or failing of the article) must be done by other uninvolved editors. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 14:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

disputed fair use rationale-notice

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Copy of 12062009755.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Copy of 12062009755.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 00:14, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New page patrol

Hello Nefirious,

I actually do very little new page patrol so I am not the best to assist you here. I assume that you have found the New page patrol project and know about the Special:new pages and the patrolled button. If you want to become an admin, I suggest that you use the edit summary all the time. Under My preferences - editing tick "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". There are some toold like Twinkle.

Other things you may want to practice talking to people more. And you will have to learn about copyright and fair use. Do you know how to add categories? HotCat is available under the Editing Gadgets in your preferences. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Tagging

Could you kindly explain how does the entire Saini article qualify for a clean up tag? The article has over 200 references and is generally very well cited. Kindly be more precise and specific in your inputs for any constructive edits to happen. Instead of tagging the entire article , consider tagging speficic sections which you think need quality improvement. This would be found more helpful for other editors to make constructive changes in an itemized manner, quickly and effectively. Tagging the entire article for clean up without any explanation can easily be misconstrued and leads to use of unnecessary bandwidth and edit warring.

Please note I have removed a blanket clean up tag for now but you can place it back if you have a more persuasive explanation. Please make sure that you leave that explanation on the discussion page if you place the tag again so that the editors of this article could respond to it constuctively in a specific and itemized manner.

With regard to splitting the article in smaller articles, wikipedia notability criterion also comes into play. Not all sections of this articles may qualify that criterion and yet are pertinent enough to merit inclusion in this article as they have secondary source references. Even in this case you need to be more specific in your inputs and tag commentaries. Your interest in this article is most welcome. Regards.--99.233.132.217 (talk) 14:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Barbarian invasion.jpg

Hi, checking out your upload at File:Barbarian invasion.jpg, I think this may not comply with the WP:FAIRUSE policy. "For representational purposes" is not quite a reason. This map could be redrawn by some one, so I reckon it fails the replacability criteria. You don't seem to have started using the edit summary yet either! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can tag with the speedy delete, or you can ask me to delete it for you. I think the alternative is that you down load a map of Europe, of which you should be able to find plenty on commons, and draw on those invasions yourself, together with any labeling required. If the book is very old it may be public domain. When was it published and where? You may be able to find an old book with a map too, this history should not have changed much in the last 100 years. An administrator will need to have a good idea of copyright and how it applies to Wikipedia, so this is a chance to prove your skill! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:00, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

re: Review 'Medieval Wars

Sir, I just wanted to know from you if the article 'Medieval Wars' that i've been editing for past several days qualifies for reviewing since I have placed the 'Under Construction' tag. The article has been rated as a 'Start' article by a user User:Canglesea. Please let me know sir. Nefirious (talk) 04:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC) Yeh, and neither has the reviewer mentioned in the discussion section what needs to be done in order to improve the quality of the article. A reviewer in my opinion needs to point out the lacuna in the article and then give the appropriate ratings. Nefirious (talk) 04:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here are links to the A-class and B-class critera, which also each have their own FAQs:
In the light of these, Conglesea's assessment seems fair.  Roger Davies talk 10:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Once you have expanded the article a bit, and perhaps got it to B-class, you might like to ask for comments about it in the Medieval warfare task force talk page.  Roger Davies talk 10:31, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Genseric sacking rome.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY (TALK) 03:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Horse domestication

Hi, I reverted your reclassification or Domestication of the horse because I don't believe we ever took the article to GA review and we can't do a GA class without outside approval. If I was in error and the article was approved without my noticing, let me know. We'd like to take it to GA some day, but haven't had the time to do it yet. Montanabw(talk) 18:09, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nefirious, I just noticed your comment on Montanabw's talk page. She is correct in saying that individual editors cannot award articles GA status without going through a GA nomination process. Please see the good article nominations page for more information. Also, WP is not about "bagging awards", it is about improving articles. After taking a quick look at what appears to be your main focus at this point, History of Weapons, I would also point you to the page on reliable sources. Sites such as absoluteastronomy.com, youtube.com and about.com are generally not considered reliable. However, I wish you good luck on your quest for GA, and please let me know if you need any help with anything. I've reviewed quite a few GA nominations, as well as nominating several articles of my own, so I can usually point out things that are likely to become an issue at GA. Hope this helps. Dana boomer (talk) 04:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(Noogies Dana) so says the lady with more GAs than me! LOL! That said, the bottom line is that I think the domestication article is close to GA, but once it gets nominated, every flaw in the article is immediately pounced upon and anyone putting it up needs to have about two weeks of mental space to address the issues that arise. And that's when some pain in the butt isn't trying to derail the nomination !  :-P And for me, that will not occur until August at the earliest due to that thing called real life... My take is that maybe we put it up over at the talk page for WPEQ for "pre-GA" review and see what sort of bugs come up that may need to be worked out. A person willing to be the workhorse on the piece is a good start, and I personally put a lot of hours into helping it get where it is now (many other good folks contributed, so the work is by no means all mine) but feel there are a couple hiccups that are yet to be smoothed out.

Ratings and importance

When looking through some articles I contribute to recently I ran across a note you left on the editor that began an article of interest to me. In the post you stated that editors who write the srticle should not rate the article themselves but be an uninvolved editor. Since I have done this before I am concerned that I do not know where to locate the guideline to understand it better nad be within such a policy. Could you direct me to the policy page please? Thanks--Amadscientist (talk) 00:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood the question. I meant the Class=B Importance=Top ratings, not the GA review. I am aware of the policy as a member of Project GA and am in the process of reviewing an article at present for GA.--Amadscientist (talk) 06:11, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this a general question, envolving myself and I am not envolved in accessing any article for impotance or class at the moment, but wanted to find the policy in regards to rating the article. What I am basicaly asking is this, if an editor starts an article and adds a project he should rate it's class as stub or start, depending on article size and quality, is it the guidline to wait for discussion for importance? Or are you saying placement of project should be done without a rating or importance? Thanks--Amadscientist (talk) 06:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History of Weapons - references

Hi, I've seen your article and it looks good. Can I help you with a couple of pointers about references.

Firstly is you're going to make extensive use of books and web citations there are specific citation tools to help you with this.

Template:Cite web is for web citations. The basic format is {{cite web |first = |last = |author = |authorlink = |coauthors = |title = |url = |archiveurl = |work = |publisher = |location = |page = |pages = |language = |trans_title = |format = |doi = |date = |month = |year = |archivedate = |accessdate = |quote = }}

Template:Cite book is for books {{cite book |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |firstn=,lastn= |authorn-link |editor= |editorn= |editorn-last |editorn-first |editor-link |editorn-link |others= |title= |trans_title= |url= |format= |accessdate= |edition= |series= |volume= |date= |origyear= |year= |month= |publisher= |location= |language= |isbn= |oclc= |doi= |bibcode= |id= |page= |pages= |nopp= |chapter= |trans_chapter |chapterurl= |quote= |ref= |laysummary= |laydate= |separator= |postscript= |lastauthoramp= }} If you're just referring to a source once then you can use the templates inside <ref> </ref> but if you're going to make repeated references e.g. DeVries & Smith then you might want to list them as reference material once and then link back to them each time. So your article would look something like this

===Text===
some text and a reference to a repeated source.<ref name=DeVries100>[[#DeVries2007|DeVries & Smith]] p. 100.</ref> More text and another reference to same source but different page as first reference.<ref name=DeVries110>[[#DeVries2007|DeVries & Smith]] p. 110.</ref>
And a third source,<ref>another source document</ref> and back to the first source again<ref name=DeVries100/>
===Footnotes===
{{reflist}}
===References===
*{{cite book |last=DeVries |first=Kelly |last2=Smith |first2=Robert |title=Medieval Weapons: An Illustrated History of Their Impact |year=2007 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-1-85109-526-1 |ref=DeVries2007 |lastauthoramp=&}}

produces

Text

some text and a reference to a repeated source.[1] more text and another reference to same source but different page as first reference.[2]

And a third source,[3] and back to the first source again[1]

Footnotes

  1. ^ a b DeVries & Smith p. 100.

  3. ^ another source document

If you want a hand with anything or more explanation, just leave a message on my talk page. NtheP (talk) 10:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I've been through the article and changed some of the references. I would suggest you make more use of page numbers rather than just references to a book. Also watch some of your references as they are confusing e.g. Bachrach, Procopius, Agathias and the Frankish Military - are you trying to reference Bachrach or Bachrach's reference to Procopius? Don't refer to other peoples source material it makes your reference third hand. If you don't have access to their source material just cite the one you have. Again there was one reference you had to zeenews which just referred to a BBC article. I've changed this to a reference direct to the BBC article as it's then a first hand reference.

Thanks for uploading File:Warnormady.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mediterranean Sea.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Tourist attractions in Aurangabad district

I have moved the article Tourist attractions in Aurangabad to Tourist attractions in Aurangabad district and included the famous Ajanta, Ellora caves and many others. But, I believe some of the important tourist sites like Bibi ka Maqbara and Gates of Aurangabad be included in the Aurangabad article as they describe the history of the city. WorLD8115(TalK) 17:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have to go for the assessment of Tourist attractions in Aurangabad district as you created it as Tourist attractions in Aurangabad.

Africa (Petrarch)

I have been working hard to improve this article. I hope to get it to the quality of a Good Article. I think you rated this article back as Revision as of 17:52, 27 June 2009 . Could you take a look at it again as I have made major improvements to it lately. If you see additional improvements I can make, please give me some input. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell talk 22:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've also added some battle information in each of the books of the epic poem between Scipio and Hannibal and the Carthaginians. Do you see other ideas I could do to get it potentially to a Good Article? Does it warrent a review of Class in the Military history Wikiproject? Thanks.--Doug Coldwell talk 12:09, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have created an article namely Urdu in Aurangabad, which has been nominated for deletion. The reason being that the topic is too specific and its content exists in other, more general articles.

Proposed deletion of Basso block

The article Basso block has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lacks context or any references that indicate it's notable (other than mentioning), and is a borderline dictionary definition except it doesn't even have a definition. I had to google to find out what it is, and doing so doesn't suggest it's notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Shadowjams (talk) 10:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Bar clamp adapter pin

A tag has been placed on Bar clamp adapter pin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --Darkwind (talk) 17:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw a need for this article and so I wrote it. But the article could benefit from expansion and further sourcing. As you are listed at the WikiProject Film/Canadian cinema task force, perhaps you might care to help out? Expanding on the school's programs? Listing the awards its presented (and recipients)? How other media in Canada recognize the intitute and its efforts? Thanks, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:28, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problem

I do not understand the big deal. The website is more than reliable and the author clearly claims that he is an expert in the field of SEO and is a journalist who has written articles based on secondary and primary sources. Do you not have anything better to do ? Why are you obstructing someone who is trying to spread legit knowledge ?

Hi, please join the discussion on the reliable sources noticeboard instead of here and on my user talk page. Thanks! :-) --bonadea contributions talk 18:57, 24 September 2013 (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).

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

Request reason:

I did not make any kind of legal threat. What I meant was that action will be taken against her on wikipedia if she continues her threatening gestures. I cannot be blocked unless and untill II make it clear what kind of legal action I am taking. Have a look at the talk page where I mentioned Wikipedia and no other source.

Decline reason:

Per below. As for being warned, you had already IMO forfeited that level of courtesy when you sockpuppeted. Your evasive and tendentious wikilawyering below further demonstrate that Wikipedia is better off when this is the only page you're allowed to edit (and maybe not even that, hint hint). — Daniel Case (talk) 17:52, 3 October 2013 (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.

But this does not validate a block as I said account will be reported which naturally means within wikipedia. I also said legal action will be taken, but did not specifically mention what as I took it for granted that the user would assume I meant within Wikipedia. I do not have the time nor resources to take action against anyone outside wikipedia naturally. Nefirious (talk) 05:48, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be so good as to explain what "I will take action in Wikipedia against your threatening gesture" means? What sort of action were you thinking of? Peridon (talk) 11:08, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your wording here [2] is quite clear and very specifically a clear threat of legal action. Subsequent comments indicating that you meant within Wikipedia do not cancel out this threat, nor indeed do they explain it. To achieve unblock you will need to make a clear and unambiguous statement that you have not taken and have no intention of taking, any legal action against Wikipedia or any Wikipedia editors in respect of any edits made within Wikipedia in editing threads with which you have been involved, or which relate to you or to your edits.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 13:31, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please define legal action. The term legal action varies in its definition. Did I specify what kind of legal action I was talking about ? Clearly no. If there is an incident inside a school, legal action can be taken within the school without having to go to the authorities. When I did not specify I what kind of legal action I was taking, you cannot get sentimental and ban without any notification. Also I made it very clear on the talk page of the edit that it would be within Wikipedia. Please use common sense and do not blatantly ban editors who work hard to create scholarly articles. Thanks Nefirious (talk) 15:50, 3 October 2013 (UTC) I would suggest that you being an administrator please read WP:LEGAL. It clearly indicates that "Rather than blocking immediately, administrators should seek to clarify the user's meaning and make sure that a mere misunderstanding is not involved". Nefirious (talk) 16:02, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The section from WP:LEGAL (with which I am familiar) which you quote deals with perceived legal threats, where there is potential for misunderstanding. Your threat is clear and not susceptible to misunderstanding, and your later attempts to modify it do not amount to a reason to unblock. As I have said we must see from you a clear and unqualified retraction. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:11, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am not quite sure if you understood WP:LEGAL. It clearly says that a person needs to be notified about his actions before he is blocked. I was not notified, and also blocked within minutes.I am saying repeatedly, I made it clear on that User's talk page that I was talking about a legal action on Wikipedia itself. I am making myself clear again that I had no intention to take any sort of legal action against the Wikipedia user or against Wikipedia. I am a Wikipedia editor myself since last 10 years and have more than a thousand edits. It would be nice if you can unblock me so I can get back to editing articles that I created and add more value to Wikipedia. Nefirious (talk) 16:19, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I refer you to the third paragraph of WP:LEGAL. It is very clear. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:29, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly what I am saying. There was a misunderstanding. The administrator banned me as he assumed there was a legal action involved. Which I made clear on the talk page that it was on Wikipedia. Please refer the entire WP:LEGAL article so to have a clear understanding of what perceived threat means and amounts to. I have already made it clear that it was not my intention. Nefirious (talk) 16:32, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your unblock appeal remains posted; I think as I am clearly not reaching agreement with you it is best that I withdraw, and see if another admin puts a different interpretation on your words, as quoted in the link I posted above. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:40, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you took that personally. I am just trying to get the facts out from WP:LEGAL. The administrator who banned me, banned me without any notification or warning, neither did he take the time to clear it out. Nefirious (talk) 16:44, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have still not cleared it out. "Legal action will be taken" is not one bit ambiguous. You were also asked another question right after your unblock, and you haven't responded to that either. —SpacemanSpiff 17:29, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Just FTR, regarding warning about legal threats: the blocking admin did not warn the editor before blocking, but they had been warned and had removed the warning but chose to post a new message to my talk page instead of retracting their legal threat. So a warning had in fact been issued and acknowledged (although whether it was understood is a different matter, given the subsequent discussion on this page.) --bonadea contributions talk 20:25, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Check your talk page. I clearly said legal action on Wikipedia. After the warning I made it clear on your talk page that I meant Wikipedia. My statement was misinterpreted by the user as the user's native tongue is not English. I removed the warning because it had a threatening tone. I got banned within 5 minutes of the warning. I was not notified by the administrator. User Bonadea is not authorised with banning anyone as this user is merely an editor like me and many more. Kindly revert the decision in compliance with legal threats Thanks Nefirious (talk) 03:42, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please adhere to WP:CIVIL, which I know you have been referred to before. I had nothing to do with your block, and my language skills are completely beside the point. I actually assumed that you were merely trying to provoke me rather than issue an actual legal threat. That is why I removed your uncivil post and placed a warning template with a polite extra notice on your page, rather than reporting you.
If you are in fact unblocked, you need to follow WP:CIVIL, which, quite frankly, your messages to me and others have often failed to do thus far. I have no influence on whether you are unblocked or not (nor do I want to influence it in either direction), but I am of course "authorised" to place appropriate warnings on your user talk page when your editing behaviour is inappropriate. There are many such warnings, not only from me, visible in the history of this page. You have been given a large number of extra chances. --bonadea contributions talk 06:46, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

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

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

I think I was misunderstood. I am not trying to justify that my actions were appropriate. The administrator says (hint hint), is he trying to say that he may block me from editing this page as well ? That wasn't nice. What I am trying to say. After the warning was made. I did not make any legal threat again, all I did was corrected myself, saying that I did not meant in that sense, so I wrote on that user's talk page that, or rather clarified that I meant Wikipedia. Did I make any other legal threat after the warning. I guess no. If you still think that I need to do more than just this let me know. I am willing to comply with all your requests.Thanks Nefirious (talk) 03:52, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is getting increasingly tiresome, you're complaining about being misunderstood as their native tongue is not English. "Legal action will be taken" is clearly not ambiguous at all and for someone complaining about another user's ability to comprehend the language, you should know. While you were provided with a warning, a warning or duscussion is only required to clear doubts of ambiguity. And as asked by Peridon earlier, what is this action that you are planning to take? —SpacemanSpiff 06:05, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Spaceman Spiff - Saying something without understanding the actual meaning is called misunderstanding. I don't want to beat around the bush. Like I said. I am saying again. I never meant I was taking any legal action. If I wanted to I would not be here asking administrators here to unblock me. I am saying again, please unblock me as I mean no harm to Wikipedia or any of its editors. I myself an editor of Wikipedia understand the policies and I will comply with them. Thanks Nefirious (talk) 05:31, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Have you given serious thought to either fulfilling my conditions or answering Peridon's question? --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 15:22, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Periodon's question ? You mean what sort of action am I willing to take on user Bonadea. She threatened to ban me, even though she is merely an editor like me. So naturally, I will raise the question on Wikipedia Dispute board about her false claims of being able to ban me. Nefirious (talk) 18:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
