Request for Arbitration Enforcement opened

You are the subject of a request for enforcement at WP:ARE. You may view the request at the the Requests for Enforcement page and post comments and evidence there. See Wikipedia:Arbitration for further information. Respectfully. • Astynax ^talk 10:42, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right to delete the red link, as it links to a deleted article. Sorry, I didn't check it. Kraxler (talk) 16:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kraxler:Thanks... between the two of us we got it right! :) Tgeairn (talk) 17:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AE result

As a result of this AE request, I have fully protected the article Landmark Worldwide for one month to allow time for disputes to be worked out without edit-warring and other disruption. Further, you are warned to ensure that your edits comply with the letter and spirit of all applicable policies, particularly NPOV. I would strongly advise you to engage with discussion about your edits and to seek outside opinions if discussion becomes deadlocked. I would also suggest that, if you have a potential conflict of interest with the subject matter, that you disclose it. I have given Astyntax a similar warning, and you can request enforcement of that at AE, but note that enforcement can also be requested against you should you fail to adhere to the expected standards of conduct. It is my impression that admins' patience with this dispute is wearing thin, and that liberal use of topic bans is a likely result, should the measures taken today prove ineffective. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:42, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Harry for your patience and perseverance here. I believe that your impression is correct and patience is wearing thin across the board.

I am dismayed that there was not a more significant result for some of the parties involved, and if it were not for the already worn tolerance of the admins at AE I would submit enforcement requests against John Carter for his ongoing personal attacks (even on an AE page?!?), Astynax for the filing itself (so soon after other filings at other venues didn't meet their hopes), Manul for whatever the nasty smell is around how a supposed email and statement by Callanecc got to multiple other editors before ever being mentioned on-wiki, and lastly for Theobald Tiger for his complete disregard for the Final Warning Callanecc gave him just a couple weeks ago and EdJohnston's warning a few days later.

Having said all of that, hopefully protection will force editors to cooperate on the article. Again, I appreciate your work here. Have a single-malt on me. Cheers, Tgeairn (talk) 21:00, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because I can't resist

I am posting here because John Carter asked politely for me to not post at their talk page. Given the latest few edits to their talk page, I am - literally - laughing too hard to sit. John, hopefully you will take care of your friend. No need to reply here. --Tgeairn (talk) 02:41, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tgeairn, I was trying to send you the email, but for some reason it's bounced back - can you try emailing me instead? Thanks, Nikkimaria (talk) 16:09, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, replied - if you don't receive it let me know and I'll try the alternate you mentioned. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Editing while logged out

~~In regards to your editing of Landmark Worldwide on January 30, 2015:~~

It has been found that you have edited while logged out to avoid scrutiny. Please review the policy on acceptable alternate accounts. In short, alternate accounts or IPs should not be used for the purposes of deceiving others into seeing more support for your position. It is not acceptable to use two accounts/IPs on the same article, or the same topic area, unless they are publically and plainly disclosed on both your user page. Please note that future instances will lead to a block. Mike V • Talk 22:19, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike V: What is the basis for this message? A checkuser was literally just run Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tgeairn to address these type of allegations - and definitively found that no such edits occurred. Please address this, thank you. --Tgeairn (talk) 22:22, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've talked to a checkuser who has clarified that you were not involved with the IP edits. You may disregard the notice above. Mike V • Talk 22:50, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike V: Thanks again for getting that cleared up. I appreciate your efforts in this and all of the other great work you do here. --Tgeairn (talk) 22:56, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

I just wanted to thank you for your vigilant and constructive cleanup and copyediting on many of the articles I watch (and on very rare occasion, edit). It's much appreciated. :) Keep up the good work! Quinto Simmaco (talk) 00:26, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Quinto Simmaco: Thanks for the thank you! I sometimes enjoy the relatively stress-free cleanup work. Have a great eclipse day! --Tgeairn (talk) 01:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
