May the spirit of convivencia [1] return to the world and spread (and include all ethnicities and beliefs).

Netscott is the user name for Scott Stevenson.

Something that needs to be stopped on Wikipedia!

The utilization of Wikipedia as a tool to spread propaganda. As an editor with some standing here I have seen other editors do their best to edit articles to further their ends (ie: their POVs). There probably should be a Wikipedia project called Wikipedia:Countering propaganda to combat this problem.

Contentious editing

Do you believe you have a valid point of contention about my edits and would like the whole world to know it the moment they come to my user page?

Here's your chance!

If you can competently argue for why any of my edits are less than valid and you feel a need to vent, please first post something bordering on insult about my edit (certainly not about me, remember WP:NPA) and then present your argument(s) (or use my talk page if you're hesitant to edit my user page) for why they are not valid. When insulting my edit(s)/argument(s)/view(s) use words like asinine, inane or the old standby ridiculous. Know that the more ostentatious and sesquipedalian the words are that you use to insult my edits, the more I'll be liable to "take notice" and give proper attention to your entire argument. Also, the more likely they'll remain for awhile on my User page. There's only one simple rule... make your comments only in the box provided below and try to have fun!
On second thought, if you simply want to insult my edit(s)/argument(s)/view(s) then by all means, do so here but do your best to remain civil. Netscott 17:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

Editorial Insult: I'm afraid this word is not particularly pedantic, obscurantist, and sesquipedalian (like "sesquipedalian"), but perhaps you will permit the word "glib" in this section. As applied to "of course an IP would make that edit." [2]) Is that how one dismisses corrections? As the mere disgruntled mutterings of the hoi polloi? Shame! Shame, I say!

Editorial Argument: Well, actually, I'm afraid it's rather minor. Boring, as far as disputes go, really. Though, to be sure, people around here go on longer about less, eh? It's just that I've voted on straw polls without logging in and without being discounted. That's all. To be honest, I didn't really feel any need to vent before clicking here, but I think your "insult me" section is a good idea, and it was a shame it was empty. Enjoy!

Comment: Excellent! :-) LOL! (→Netscott) 13:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar awarded to **Netscott** by Karl Meier for his many great contributions, and for always being fair and reasonable in discussions regarding controversial topics. Awarded: 21:10, 11 July 2006

A Barnstar awarded by User:Striver to Netscott for him assisting me through the undeletion proces of Barra binte Samawal. The article was speedy deleted, and Netscott helped me to get it survive an afd. Thus, a relatively obscure but notable part of Islamic and Jewish history is preserved on Wikipedia!
