I tried to post this on a discussion page to have it corrected, but the Rivertorch talker is back at it and is mistaken.

Hello EdJohston. Presswire has mandatory copyright. This is a photo from Presswire and there are multiple taken during first pitch walk; distributed under accounts and copyrighted regulated there. You were contacted as it appeared that you had provided the protection on these pages back in February. Someone reinserted the copyright photo, but there is still protection on the account. Please remove this image from the home page and from Created Commons Attribution-Share as well. Game Photos are even under more scrutiny and regulations, approved by MLB team as photo transmissions are reserved. We do not know a person named Paluch. We don't know how Delaywaves bypassed and this action is what is of issue now. Your work and protection is on the edit history. Photo from Wikimedia Commons, uploaded by Steven Paluch]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Berniebrew (talk • contribs) 00:25, 19 October 2013 (UTC) Hello Berniebrew. If you believe this photo is from Presswire, can you provide evidence? For example a link to where it can be found on the web? There is a related photo of Bob Uecker (taken at the same game, in the same pose, holding a baseball in his raised hand) at this Uspresswire link, a photo which is credited to Jerry Lai. You can tell that it's a completely different shot, though. The one in our article is from Wikimedia Commons, where it was uploaded by User:Spaluch1, who says he took the photo himself. If you believe you are the copyright owner you can use Commons:OTRS to assert your claim. Warring with other editors on the article is unlikely to be effective. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:21, 19 October 2013 (UTC) Can you clarify whether you're speaking on behalf of Major League Baseball or a particular club? If you are not, can I ask why you're making these requests? I'm still waiting for any evidence that this is a Presswire photo. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 23:56, 26 October 2013 (UTC) Attention ED: Please see information outlined below. US Presswire USA Media Group syndicates content. Uploaded use in Created Commons/Wiki is unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted photo. This is game activity copyrighted and two years old. Please remove the photo in question since our group is not editors with specific protective editing capabilities of pages on Wikipedia. The Rivertorch comments Delaywaves are not professionally necessary. Could you take immediate action. Someone from our staff suggested that Delaywaves look into an alternative, the Team Media Individual Broadcaster Photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Berniebrew (talk • contribs) 23:33, 1 November 2013 (UTC) Hello Berniebrew. It doesn't make sense for you to keep posting on this topic unless you will answer my questions: What relation do you have to this matter? Do you claim to own the photo, or be a legal representative of one of the organizations? Where is your evidence that this photo belongs to US Presswire? You can't assert copyright of something you don't own. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2013 (UTC) We do not know a person named Paluch, you need to be telling this to him. We reached out to you since you had added the semi-protection in February without the Photo. Are we contacting the wrong person? Someone added the US PRESSWIRE / USA Today Images which has transmitting rights with the team. These US PRESSWIRE Photos are now USA Today Sport Images and we feel it that unfortunate this has happened. We suggest using the current Sports Media Team Professional photo on file for Uecker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Berniebrew (talk • contribs) 18:02, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Editor Cihsai

Hi Ed. Can you please take a look at editor Cihsai. Through the course of this year, he has edited no other article besides the Hemshin peoples and has made no other contribution to it beside removing/reverting a crucial part of the lead, which states that the Hemshin people are believed to have an Armenian origin and which is well sourced. He has carried out the same edit time and time again and has obliquely referred to a "discussion on the talk page", which he has never bothered to make a contribution. I, along with other editors, have reverted such disruptive edits but he persists in making the reverts. I think some sort of action is necessary here and I'd appreciate any help in dealing with this matter. Thanks.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 18:43, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Notified. EdJohnston (talk) 02:49, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ed. I have seen your message to me. Fact is that the user who complained about me is inserting a statement into the the lead paragraph without discussing it. The lead paragaraph as well as the paragraphs "History" and "Demographics" which are related to the issue are the result of intense discussions and editing compromises from several years ago. Therefore ı beleive the warning should be adressed to the user who is inserting changes without discussion and not to me. ... By the way, it is true that my activity on wikipedia is limited to Hemshin issue; my home region. I wonder whether that is in any way a violation of Wikipedia rules.Cihsai (talk) 22:20, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

You have not participated at Talk:Hemshin since 2008. Yet here you are on 6 November 2013 in this diff where you remove a claim about Armenian origin at the same time as you remove the reference which was intended to support it. If you don't believe that Simonian's book on the Hemshin is a good reference for the claim of Armenian origin, you could try asking for an opinion at WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. In the past year you have reverted the lead 12 times. This looks to be a case of long-term edit warring. If anyone agreed with you, you would not be the only one removing this material. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:47, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

I have inserted a entry in the talk page of the article which may be worthwhile for you to see.. thanksCihsai (talk) 23:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

He hasn't quite let up. He just continues to revert.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 01:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Now topic banned. EdJohnston (talk) 04:42, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I have noticed that you have banned me on grounds that ″I have once again reverted the lead of Hemshin peoples to remove mention of possible Armenian descent, without ever achieving consensus for your views″.:I doubt whether you are fully aware of the following:

• * ::::The insertion of “possible Armenian descent” into lead paragraph is done without any prior discussion
• * ::::The lead paragraph was a long standing stable paragraph prior to this insertion.
• * ::::I have made several reverts because some editors have inserted the same sentence several times.
• * ::::By each of my reverts I have requested the inserters to engage in discussion.
• * ::::Your “Ban” on me adds up to to your interference into the editing of the article on the side of users who refuse to discuss.
  

Kindly lift the ban and allow me to bring the article back to the stable version.In case you are interested in the details of the article, you are most welcome to participate in the discussion as to whether the insertion is meaningful.
By the way, Hemshin is not in Azarbaijan and has no relation thereto. I was never involved in any article related to Azarbaijan and or numerous Armenian related articles.I understand that the Arbitration decisions cover articles related to the arbitration and that this will be interpreted rather broadly. I still find it rather far fetched when Hemshin People as article and myself as editor are considered to be covered thereunderCihsai (talk) 20:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Ed. I don't mean to raise the alarm bell so quickly again, but just yesterday another user, who has been inactive since 2009, came back to revert the page back to Cihsai's version. The explanations he gave are suspiciously similar to Cihasi's as well. Coincidence? Off-wiki coordination? I can't say for sure, but I thought I'd let you know. Best, --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 17:28, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Notified User:Omer182, who has deleted the same material from the lead as Cihsai. Simonian's book has been offered as a reference for the Armenian origin of the Hemshin. If Omer182 doubts the credibility of Simonian's book, he should go through the appropriate discussions to get it removed from the article. Trying to remove it by warring is unlikely to work. EdJohnston (talk) 18:45, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Napster - Arden Hathaway

Mr. Johnston: Please read what I actually wrote in the Napster article. The Napster article is biased, e.g., it claims that Napster actually benefitted record sales, whereas in the real world the so-called "file sharing" systems have devastated record sales. I started out by writing this up, including an indisputable cite pointing out that record sales dropped 50% from 1999 through 2009, but my text got deleted. Napster proponents made up this theory that they were actually on the side of the "artists" against the "evil record companies" and they cling to it, even though record sales (circa 2013) are down 65% from the inception of Napster and the biggest losers are composers and musicians. Those individuals who participated in the Napster kleptomania don't like to have their mythologies refuted, so they engaged in censorship, not "editing."

Please read the addition I wrote about the LaMacchia case, the NET Act and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), and how they relate to Napster. This text also got deleted because it makes Napster proponents uncomfortable to learn (a) Napster was not original (or "pioneering"), and (b) there was a basis for criminal prosecution of both the founders and users of Napster, but it didn't take place because the Digital Millenium Copyright Act diluted the NET Act. This also got censored by the fanatical pro-Napster individuals who watch the article.

I repeat: Read what I actually wrote. Read they sourced text which the Napster monitors called "unsourced." They initiated this proceeding to silence me. Ironically, I had already given up.

Please see the advice that was given at User talk:NeilN#Napster. I have nothing to add. Any crusades against Napster should happen elsewhere. See WP:SIGN for how to sign your posts on talk pages. EdJohnston (talk) 15:42, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Warning over the 1RR

You pissed or what? blog sources used sadredearth.com, yaacovlozowick.blogspot.com, never mind the one he removed, you actually warned me for following BLP. Well done. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:23, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

WP:3RRNO allows removal of unsourced defamation. In the past, we have used 'respectable' blogs as sources for commentary on controversial issues in the I/P area (though not as sources of fact, since WP:SPS doesn't allow that). You don't get to keep on reverting with no penalty when the issue could easily be referred to WP:RS/N. EdJohnston (talk) 17:33, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Once it is removed ya. What you are saying is a BLP vio (suspected or not) can stay in an article until it has spent a week at some notice board, never gonna happen Ed, SPS and BLP are very clear on this, and you ought to know better. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:43, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Those were commentaries on the views held by Mondoweiss, a site that offers reporting and opinion on contentious issues. Vivid language is used by both sides of that dispute. I don't see your case for irreparable harm if your instantaneous revert were not performed. (The harm being, in your view, so obvious to all that no discussion is required before acting). Is it a terrible thing to cite a blog by Yaacov Lozowick, a man who was the director of the archives at Yad Vashem? EdJohnston (talk) 18:34, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

BLPGROUP would say yes, but given I am more or less done here now it really does not matter, cheers. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:17, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Repeated edit warring

Hello EdJohnston,

sorry for taking this to your talk page, but reports at AN3 are always so long and unflexible. Alcastilloru (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) whom you already blocked for two days because of edit warring in July, unfortunately has not changed his/her method. The user continues edit warring at A New Era. Alcastilloru never cites sources for these changes, never gives a reason for reverting, never discusses. In this way, it is impossible to co-operate with this user. As it does not look like he/she will ever stop, I am afraid that your administrative action is necessary. Kind regards. --RJFF (talk) 21:13, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

TBAN Question

Hi Ed, quick question. Does my ARBPIA TBAN allow or restrict me from commenting at the ongoing AE case involving Gilabrand and Sepsis? It's unclear to me. Thanks. Plot Spoiler (talk) 01:34, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Under WP:TBAN you should not participate in that case. Thanks for asking. EdJohnston (talk) 02:20, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

For sure. Cheers. Plot Spoiler (talk) 02:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Mondoweiss

Based on the history, I'd rather you take any action you think is appropriate after this.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:38, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Nothing is my preference. If either party doesn't like where this is going, I expect we will see a new AN3 or AE report. There is talk of BLP violations. But in the real world, the people on both sides are accusing each other of horrible things anyway. If the article gets out of control I suppose we could full protect for a month and let them debate the fine points at WP:BLP/N. EdJohnston (talk) 01:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

EdJohnston, please provide advise on how to make an escalation within your system. I would like to talk to your customer service department if possible or with someone in corporate. Bull is showing bias, has been uncooperative and misrepresenting events. Also, I don't mind taking a time out. This is not a threat, but merely a statement of good customer service. I would rather not have to create accounts and tunnel masked I.P.'s and make this a bigger issue. Let's get this issue resolved in a civil fashion. I want your escalation process sent. I want to talk to the service department for corporate. I deal with customer issues like this every day, I will call wikimedia's corporate office if necessary and raise all kinds of heck if I do not get a different admin to help administer this issue. 07:58, 26 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orrerysky (talk • contribs)

Talk:Austrian economics/General sanctions

Hi Ed, I went through and notified a few people who had edited Austrian topics of the applicable sanctions on the topic area a couple days ago. I noted, as Template:Austrian economics enforcement states, that the notification did not mean they had been engaged in misconduct. One user has been removing his name from the log of notifications at Talk:Austrian economics/General sanctions because he says he has done nothing wrong. See this thread on my talk page. Since you're the only other admin to edit that log recently, could you comment? Mark Arsten (talk) 03:36, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Actually, it looks like the other editor and I have reached a compromise on the issue, feel free to ignore. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:49, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Too late, too late, I already commented at User talk:Mark Arsten#BS warnings. This does come up occasionally and it is often puzzling what to do. EdJohnston (talk) 03:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, EdJohnston! Sorry to stick my nose in here, but I clicked through some links and somehow ended up here where you said the user had 3 blocks since Oct 1.

Hi. Is this post not a violation of the topic ban by HouseOfArtaxiad (talk · contribs)? Also, I believe this is not the only edit he's made to AA topics since 15 October. Grandmaster 20:12, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

There are no more edits by HOA at Talk:Shusha since 25 November. You should be counting from 15 November because that's when the topic ban was imposed. EdJohnston (talk) 15:42, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, that was a mistake. I meant 15 November. And indeed, he made no edits in Wikipedia since 25 November. Grandmaster 20:50, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Some help needed

Dear Ed, I guess you remember you blocked me yesterday for war edits on Holodomor article. I'm not going to complain on that, but I would ask you to be my first tutor on en-wiki, as I'm making my first steps here. There is a group of non-neutral editors, who blocking some changes to the article which they do not like. I opened a new topic on talk page — [1] at ample time, but my agruments (proved by quoted RS) were simply ignored, as well as my additions to the article - [2] — even they were proved by RS given. So, my question is: what should be my further actions, in such situation in the article Holodomor, when a group of editors ignoring arguments and doesn't have a will to find consensus? Thanks in advance. HOBOPOCC (talk) 08:34, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Your edits so far indicate you are a WP:Single purpose account. You seem to be editing various articles to strengthen the Russian side of certain questions. Here at Pavlo Skoropadsky you decide that the Russian spelling of his name must have priority over the Ukrainian. While single-purpose accounts are not forbidden, you must accept it will take you some time to acquire credibility. If you wait to get consensus at Talk:Holodomor before making your changes again, you should not have any problems. If you provide only sources in the Russian language you must accept that English-speaking admins won't figure out what you are doing. In some cases these topics will must surely have been covered in English as well, and taking the time to find English sources would help you persuade others. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:34, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks for your answer! May be I explained me wrong, but you focused on my intentions in wikipedia, doesn't matter you were right or wrong, but what I asked you, as a newcomer here, what would be NEXT PLATFORM(what page) to discuss conflict at, as I know already for sure, that on talk page of the Holodomor article we will never find consensus with my opponents, as they simply non-neutral and do not want even to pretend to be neutral. As about translation of texts into English - surely I realize this requirement. At the moment of discussion on Holodomor talk page all my correspondents were Russian-speakers. But, definitely, if discussion would go to another level or any new editors wold join the discussion all translations would be done. So, whom should I apply for resolution on my conflict with non-neutral editors on Holodomor article? What would you suggest? HOBOPOCC (talk) 18:51, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Content disputes are solved by the editors involved. WP:DR shows ways of getting more people if you think the group is not representative, but I don't think that's your problem. Since you recently added a work by Kulchytsky to the article maybe you can take a look at "A new view of a famine that killed millions". New York Times. 16 March 2009. This quotes Kulchytsky at length and seems to agree that the famine was a political action targeted at Ukrainians which had millions of casualties. Kulchytsky does believe the casualties were more like 3.5 million instead of the higher figures proposed by others. If you want to argue the credibility of a source you can post at WP:RS/N. EdJohnston (talk) 20:29, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Again many thanks for your answer. So, do you think that WP:DRN would be right place to open a topic at, in case if we do not find consensus on talk page of Holodomor article? And one more question: you wrote above «...I don't think that's your problem» — so, what do you think my problem is? I have feeling that you missunderstand my intentions in the article Holodomor.HOBOPOCC (talk) 11:07, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to open a thread at WP:DRN or a WP:Request for comment. It helps if you can make a clear statement of what the dispute is about. Before filing at DRN you could leave a note at Talk:Holodomor giving your proposed statement of the dispute. DRN is voluntary so you are depending on others choosing to participate there. My own observation is that the sourcing should be improved. It looks to me that the talk page discussion made some progress on 30 November. EdJohnston (talk) 15:39, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

User:BlurredLines at it again immediately following the end of his block

Sigh! User:BlurredLines has still not learned his lesson following his 48 hour block. Directly following the editor's block—in which he claimed to you that if you'd rescind it, he'd discuss and pursue the matter with me and the others constructively—he made out this bogus report on me at Administrative Noticeboards and sent me this [3] and this [4] at my user talkpage. As you'll be able to note from his report at the ANI Noticeboards, BlurredLines is more than willing to lie, distort and misrepresent the issues to get his way. However, as noted by the respondents at the ANI noticeboards, no one's buying this editor's obvious ploys and the editor is sniping at them for it (as shown here [5]). Beyond that, BlurredLines took it upon himself to not only once again revert the edit that three editors have taken exception to [6], but he has prevented further discussion on the matter by making this response on the talkpage yesterday [7] and then IMMEDIATELY following it by closing the discussion to prevent myself and others from talking out the matter (as shown here [8]. Also, I've been of the impression this editor is on wikibreak multiple times now because announcements like this ([9], [10], [11]). However, the editor will come back shortly thereafter and again start making a ruckus. As you are familiar with this editor's troublesome behaviors, could you be of an assistance. Thank you! AmericanDad86 (talk) 14:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

@AmericanDad86: I am not trying to be disruptive here, I provided proof on the edit summary (on The Simpsons) that the link you provided is not reliable. Yes, I did close the discussion because you, and nobody else haven't responded to it in three days, in which I figured you were done with the conversation, as I was too when I closed it. Just because that I reverted you edits because the source isn't reliable, doesn't mean that all of my edits are disruptive, or vandalistic. Also, every word that I said on that report to the AN/I was not lies, mostly you think that because it was all about you, and also my replies were not "snippy", and that's kind of mean to refer to someone's replies like that. Actually, I did learn something from my block, make a noticeboard discussion before reverting, because if I didn't learn anything from my block, I would of reverted it back without putting anything in the edit summary, and give you a notification that your edits were disruptive. Also, I come to differ that I'm back right now, and I am not trying to cause a "ruckus" that you speak of, also as you were reference to my one wikibreak also. Mostly, how can you say I have troublesome behaviors, just because I reverted your edits as I was making points in the edit summaries, that you wouldn't follow? As I said on the report, you are not familiar with the verification policy, and that could be risky when you get into situations like this, as you are trying to make me the victim because you are not realizing your mistakes. Blurred Lines 17:02, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I only now see that user: Blurred Lines' has started up a discussion on this matter at [12]. I should inform you however, that User: Blurred Line never informs editors he's been in contention with of these discussions he starts up that aren't located at the article's talk page. Blurred Lines has made a previous attempt to get this edit changed, only at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard (as shown here [13]). User:EarwigBot had to inform me of that discussion at my talk page because Blurred Lines tried to seek a consensus on the matter without informing the users in dispute with him (as shown here [14]). Once I informed by the other editor, I responded in that very discussion. Blurred Lines was then promptly dismissed because he hadn't attempted much of a discussion at The Simpsons article talk page (his dismissal as shown here [15]). With that, I was under the impression he was going to make an actual effort to constructively discuss at the article talk page, but instead he just headed to another noticeboard without informing any of the editors in contention with him. Blurred Lines only decided to inform of this discussion upon making the revert and after only a mere two editors offered their opinion at the Reliable Source Noticeboard.

Furthermore, Blurred Lines is distorting the situation about my "not responding on the talk page." As shown here [16], BlurredLines opens the discussion on the 25th of the month, I respond on the 25th of the month, he then responds on the 28th... but announces another wikibreak shortly thereafter as shown here [17]. Upon returning from his "wikibreak," he makes a report on me at ANI, takes it upon himself to have a discussion that other editors are not informed of at a different noticeboard, then closes the discussion here [18] to prevent interaction regarding the edit. If this is how the user seeks consensus that is entirely troublesome to me. It should not be up to this editor to close discussions for which he shares such integral involvement in. If anything, that should be the work of a liaison which I was acting as when I stepped in this dispute between him and two other editors.

Also, only 2 editors have actually responded at the Reliable Source Noticeboard before BlurredLines made his determination to close and revert this edit first made by User:WikiAnthony and User:Grapesoda. One of those 2 editors at the Reliable Source Noticeboard did not even support Blurred Lines position which is that "my source was unreliable and therefor cannot be used to support anything." User:Mark Miller contended with Blurred Lines that my source was in fact reliable but simply didn't feel that the source stated the show as being an adult cartoon, as shown here [19]. I felt the source pretty much did state this because it reads: "The Simpsons, a leading proponent of the adult cartoon wave." Anyways Blurred Lines thought that comment made by user Mark Miller and one other one gave him free reign to jump in and make a revert, then close the discussion on the articles talk page.

Although Mike Miller is one mere editor and one who hardly agreed with Blurred Lines that Blurred Lines would then later use to support his reversion and discussion close, I will just be the bigger man and provide a source which more explicitly states the show to being an adult cartoon. Per Mark Miller's request for different source, I have provided a source which explicitly states The Simpsons as being an "adult cartoon series" (as shown here [20]. Ed Johnson, if you have any contention with this, please let me know. Thank you! AmericanDad86 (talk) 22:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I will be generous and assume a great deal of "good faith" following Yozer1's removal of information stating, "No mention of a massacre in source",[21] when the sources were after the following sentence. Clearly this source[22], states there was a massacre and to find it one simply has to click on the link. I have already mentioned this on Yozer1's talk page, suggesting he avoid deleting such information. --Kansas Bear (talk) 19:53, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ed, this user was actually topic banned. [23] None of the admins closed the AE request and post the topic ban on his talk page when all 3 admins (You, Georgewilliamherbert and Sandstein) agreed that he should be. And it it was automatically archived today. --Երևանցի ^talk 20:00, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Kansas Bear, I thanked you for informing me and did not revert it. Take a break.

Hi Yerevanci, I was not topic banned until now. Will be back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yozer1 (talk • contribs)

The topic ban from AA2 is now logged. I suggest that Yozer1 might want to remove his 'nightmare' comment unless he wants it as part of the record. EdJohnston (talk) 20:29, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

I believe EdJohnston acted in haste. Yozer1 (talk) 20:50, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

There was a full discussion at WP:AE#Yozer1, a thread where you participated. Three admins agreed on the result. EdJohnston (talk) 01:51, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Flag of Macau

I do not agree with your action that since those are the official names for those flags.--TINHO (talk) 05:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to open a WP:Requested move discussion at Talk:Flag of Macau. I can assist if you don't know how to do this. See also WP:OFFICIAL for our practices regarding official names. Official names "..should always be considered as possibilities, but should be used only if they are actually the name most commonly used." EdJohnston (talk) 05:18, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Topic Ban

Ed, I am doing my best to stay 100% faithful to my topic ban, so please indicate if I erred at all here User talk:Plot Spoiler#Please explain yourself and if I need to self-rv or anything else. Plot Spoiler (talk) 17:50, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I also finding it troubling and unconstructive that dlv999 [24] appears to be stalking my contributions. Three out of his/her four total edits over the past five days are related to my topic ban. It doesn't appear s/he is committed to constructively building Wikipedia and is instead interested in treating Wikipedia as a battleground. Plot Spoiler (talk) 17:54, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

You should avoid the USS Liberty incident. That incident took place during one of the Arab-Israeli wars. There is an ARBPIA notice on the talk page of Richard A. Falk and in my opinion you should avoid it as well. There is nothing wrong with other editors reviewing your contributions to see if they conform to your ban. EdJohnston (talk) 18:03, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, I've self-rvd those two edits. Thanks Plot Spoiler (talk) 18:04, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
