Hello Callanecc,

Isn't this user TBAN'd on all things Armenia-related? Jaqeli 22:27, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:41, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

If so, he violated it, please see this, this and this edits. Jaqeli 13:31, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

If they weren't more than two weeks old, it'd probably be worth doing something. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:37, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

What does that mean? Isn't that a vio? I've wrote you about the issue first on Jan 5 but no response than. Jaqeli 13:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Had I seen it on the 5th (I was away/had very limited access for most of January) I would have blocked them. But only knowing about it 2 weeks later makes blocked seem mean and nasty rather than achieving a purpose. In the future, remember you can report TBAN vios to WP:AE, or WP:ANI. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

You would've been going against your own rules, as you told me in an email The last topic ban included Azerbaijan and ethnic conflicts related to Turkey, this one is prevents you from editing only topics related to Armenia. I haven't gone against this once, please check that then respond to the 2 month old email I sent you. --Steverci (talk) 22:12, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I should have said that it only prevents you from editing topics which are related to Armenia the one in the email above wasn't very clear. Could you please send the email again, I can't find it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Callanecc. Please check your email; you've got mail!

ArbCom Motion

Hi, Callanecc,
Looking at the edit history, it looks like you wrote the motion that is being proposed about Floq. Right now, it looks like it is a decree delivered from on high so even if the motion has the support of the entire arbitration committee could you include a note somewhere about your authorship? It reminds editors that the committee consists of distinct individuals who make different kinds of contributions. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Good thinking Liz, how's [1]. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:59, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

That does the trick, thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:28, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Acc tool status

What is the status of Acc tool? --Tito Dutta (talk) 13:34, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tito, no idea sorry (other than the internal interface isn't working). Maybe ask on the mailing list. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

User Steverci again

Hi Callanecc, he just violated again his TBAN here. Jaqeli 12:14, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Consensus

I see you recently protected the Coffee article. We have consensus to have Yemen in the infobox by itself [2]. If its not too much trouble, can you make that edit? Or I can wait a week its fine. Zekenyan (talk) 01:18, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Done. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:37, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks alot! Zekenyan (talk) 05:12, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Western Thought

The page, as it is now, should not exist. There is no such thing as Western Thought. The very term itself suggests incommensurabilites which are purely fictitious.

There is however, the concept being bandied about, and it would be much more interesting to create a page which presents the (political) history of that concept, expecially in the course of the last 70 years.

For far too many topics in the social sciences and the humanities, Wikipedia reflects the myths to which final year highschoolers and first-year undergrads are beholden at a given time (which may be a boon to sociologists). This page is one of the crassest examples of it. My satirical edit was merely trying to highlight this.87.240.197.233 (talk) 01:39, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi 87.240.197.233, whether certain topics exist is up to the community of editors. I'd suggest that you either propose it for deletion and see if anyone objects or start a discussion about whether it should be deleted, let me know which option (or if neither) you decide to go with and I'll guide you through how to do it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:32, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Current arbitration

I believe that today is Anzac Day, so happy holiday. Which state are you from? I have just a quick query - you say in the case notes that "Guerillero asked to marked inactive on mailing list and Salvio has commented so is active". I see that Guerillero has also commented so doesn't that make him active as well? This of course increases the majority for a proposal to pass if all the arbitrators are active.

Some other points puzzle me. Why does the motion say Vote X for Change is banned when this was overturned on a community unban discussion shortly after the ban was enacted, and why does the link not go to the unban discussion rather than the ban discussion which, as Zzuuzz put it on his talk page, was "superseded"?

Why has the respondent been allowed to protect your talk page and also Doug Weller's? This is an obviously WP:INVOLVED use of the tools.

Why has he been allowed to remove evidence from arbitrators' talk pages? See entries in his contribution record here:

Please comment on Wikipedia talk:Redirect

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Wikipedia talk:Redirect. Legobot (talk) 04:28, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

User:QEDK is a very helpful guy

See how he just helped Kerri Buckley - only he can't help her any more because the respondent has protected his talk and she's not autoconfirmed. This guy is WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopaedia. As he's stifled discussion with a party to the arbitration I'm transferring the relevant thread so that discussion can continue here. If he protects the talk page of an arbitrator while the case in which he is involved is current I suggest an emergency de - sysop.

Arbitration case

In view of your comment on the case page I'm copying the section below (which was archived to history by the page owner) here. It appears from Opabinia regalis' comment that if nobody raises any issues for 24 hours the case will be filed.

Can you please

• ask Callanecc why he linked to the ban discussion for Vote X for Change and not the subsequent unban discussion?
• ask him why he allowed the respondent to protect his talk page (??accused in an arbitration case protecting the arbitrators' talk pages)?
• ask Drmies why, when he was told the ban had been overturned years ago Special:Diff/701068573#The integrated motion he never responded?
• ask Opabinia regalis why he allowed the respondent to remove Special:Diff/701152815#You rock from his talk page?
• ask why the respondent was allowed to protect Doug Weller's user page.

Are you an Oxford man?

As @Liz:'s talk page is protected please allow me to post here.

Hopefully this case will get under way very shortly. To inform the Committee about complex issues I am providing a schedule of inappropriate edit summaries by the respondent (italic) and related comment. This covers the period from inception to the moment when the respondent was notified of the RfC/U.

91. 19:20 18 August Who writes such crap?

92. 01:43 22 August There are three sections on this user talk page from three unrelated users who are trying to explain to you that some of your communication with other editors lately is abrasive and unacceptable. My assumption is that there are other editors who are afraid to speak up. - Jerry

94. 13:02 30 August yawn. Wake me up if something new comes up there, because I'm not going to watchlist it.

The respondent is poncing (as Medeis would say) around on the reference desk again. Any chance of an emergency de - sysop before he does another WP:INVOLVED page protection? User talk:Ihardlythinkso and User talk:QEDK are also involved protections against the owners' wishes. Can these be removed? He also protected User talk:Liz indefinitely (the bounder) but Liz has dealt with that herself.

It might be a good idea to put eyes on Jpgordon, Mike V and Ohnoitsjamie. The last two are rangeblocking large areas of the United Kingdom. The first told the residents of Hackney (that's not the suburb of Adelaide but an area of London) that they should remain blocked because they don't read the talk page before they edit [4]. Since most IPs don't have a talk page he's advocating the end of "the free encyclopaedia anyone can edit".

Currently the following public libraries are blocked for up to three years (these are only the ones we know about):

• British Library (subject of an official complaint by the Trustees) (Elockid)
• Camden (respondent, Zzuuzz)
• City of London (Elockid)
• Hackney (Elockid)
• Haringey (rangeblock)
• Islington (Elockid)
• Tower Hamlets (respondent)

Questions

Can I edit articles that aren't specifically about Armenia, but have the word Armenia somewhere on them, if I don't touch the part about Armenia? For example I was planning on expanding the Alexander Suvorov article soon, which merely has the mention of a military school in Armenia named after him. If there is no mention of Armenia anywhere, is it automatically safe? --Steverci (talk) 01:03, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Steverci, if you have a look at this section and replace things which are related to weather with Armenia, that should be a good starting point for you. Regarding Alexander Suvorov, it also mentions that he may have Armenian heritage and that he had interactions with Armenian migrants in the late 1700s, and that he has a military school named after him. If you avoid anything related to his heritage which may be related to Armenia and any points in his history where he had anything to do with Armenia then you can edit the article. Whether it's safe or not depends on what the article is about (for example, a company that does work in Armenia but doesn't say that anywhere in the article would be covered), what edits you're making and if those edits themselves are related to Armenia, so no, not mentioning Armenia doesn't mean that it's automatically safe to edit.
