Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

Your feedback matters: Final reminder to take the global Wikimedia survey

Public record

I'm posting this here because there seems to be some confusion about whether I quit Wikipedia on my own. I did not and have no intention of doing so. The ubiquity of Wikipedia in the modern Internet makes that pretty much impossible. Darkfrog24 (talk) 10:15, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The text of my last appeal is here on Meta-Wiki.

I got this message from Gorilla Warfare today:

The Arbitration Committee has carefully considered your appeal, and our decision is to decline your appeal at this time. We are concerned both that you do not seem to understand or accept why you were blocked in the first place, and that as a result of this, you do not offer any indication of how you will conduct yourself differently so as to avoid further conflicts.

In six months, you may re-appeal, but we advise that at that time you explain what how you would behave if unblocked, what you have learned from being blocked, and that you have not edited through sockpuppets in the previous six months. As we have gone back and forth quite extensively on this appeal with both you and Robert, we will not be considering appeals lodged within the next six months; as such, you may not receive responses to any emails sent to the Arbitration Committee within that time period. Please also note that we will only consider appeals of your account from you; appeals and arguments on your behalf from others will not be considered.

When contacting this committee or responding to any of our messages, please ensure that arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org is in the "to" or "cc" field of any reply you make to this message. Messages sent only to me or another individual arbitrator may not be read.

For the Arbitration Committee,

GorillaWarfare [Real name removed]

And here is my response:

you do not seem to understand or accept why you were blocked in the first place

If this is the problem, the solution is extremely simple: Tell me.

I have to ask at this point: Do you know why I was blocked? Are you not telling me because you don't know?

I was assuming good faith by not mentioning this but is it "SMcCandlish is a special editor and you were blocked as a favor to him"? Is it "Whenever a Wikipedia editor is punished for anything, they must act as if they did it even if they did not; they must act as if AE admins never make mistakes"?

have not edited through sockpuppets in the previous six months

That is what I mean by "zero attempts at block evasion." I have never used sock puppets in my life. I also haven't edited Wikipedia while not logged in.

Formal request to ArbCom

I've given this several days of thought. This is not an appeal. It is a request for information so that I can spend my time working the problem.

@Casliber:@DGG:@Doug Weller:@Drmies:@Euryalus:@GorillaWarfare:@Keilana:@Kelapstick:@Kirill Lokshin:@Ks0stm:@Mkdw:@Newyorkbrad:@Opabinia regalis:

I am formally requesting an official statement of the charges. Tell me why I am blocked, plainly and with at least two diffs.

If you think someone already told me, point me to that with a diff and say "This is the official interpretation. We're endorsing it. We want you to work from this." If you change your mind at some point, come and tell me "We've changed our minds."

Last year, Opabinia told me that you guys aren't trying to trick me or screw me over or even talk in code, but I cannot think of even one reason why you'd say that knowing why I was blocked is important and then withhold that information. When someone objects to a problem and to that problem's solution, something else is going on. The solution to "you don't know why you were blocked" is so straightforward. Not telling me seems so strange to me that I think there must be some fact that we're not on the same page on. It makes me feel that you just want to keep me blocked and this is some kind of wild goose chase. I'd love to learn that that's just my imagination. I posted some very reasonable guesses in my appeal. Tell me what I got wrong and if I got anything right. Am I getting closer at least? Which parts of my work do you see as progress? For all I know, I got something right back in my first post to Thryduulf but stopped talking about it because no one acknowledged it.

We're in the unfortunate position of having to deal with alternative facts in world politics. It's within our power to get them out of Wikipedia's disciplinary system. Last year they held me down and hammered a metal sign into my head reading "lying, gaslighting piece of absolute filth." I'm not okay with that. I know you don't care for the minutiae but it's messed up that I was even accused of some of this stuff, let alone sanctioned in response.

I'm going to quote you from last year: "We emphasize that imposing an AE sanction requires only that a reviewing admin finds sufficient disruption to warrant action and is not an endorsement of every individual claim that may be made by the filer." This is why the fact that you did not grant the appeal is not enough for me to tell by itself. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:45, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The link in your block log provides you everything you need to know about your current block, whether you agree with it or not. The number of emails ArbCom has since received, at least since I have joined, have been exhaustive. You have continuously tried to re-litigate your case over and over, in multiple venues, to overturn your block. It is a problem outlined in the December 2016 motion and one that continues to persist. You have been made well aware of why you were blocked. It has been explained to you both on and off-wiki. You had an opportunity in November 2016, when the committee unblocked you to make a formal appeal. You filed a 4,000+ word ARCA and were given ample opportunity to make your case. This was immediately following a 2,600+ word ARCA appeal in April 2016 also regarding your block. You clearly disagree with the outcome but it does not entitle you to an endless appeal process.
The Arbitration Committee has made it clear when the next time an appeal will be heard. The fact that you are not getting it, intentionally or otherwise, factors into a part of the decision as a fundamental requirement for any unblock request. It has increasingly damaged your chances for a successful appeal outcome. You are welcome to continue to use your user talk page but continuing to use it to contest the grounds of your block, including requests for information, furthest contest of the appeal decision, or for appeals that fall before the timeline outlined to you, may result in your talk page access privileges being removed. Mkdw talk 01:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It has been explained to you both on and off-wiki. A diff would be helpful.
I am trying very very hard to figure out what action I performed that inspired you guys to make the decisions you did. It would help a lot if you could tell me what I was getting right and what I was getting wrong.
From what you say about relitigation, it sounds like I'm staying blocked because I'm appealing the block. I file appeals on my appeal dates. I don't bug ArbCom about this every day. On the flip side, though, I do get "'are you okay' is gaslighting if you say it" every day and "information from sources becomes lies if you quote it" thrown in my face every day, usually more than once. Is there something other than appealing that would get me unblocked, my name cleared or both, I'd love to hear about it. That's not sarcasm; I'm serious. Right now it's "appeal" or "spend the rest of your life with a sign reading 'gaslighting, lying $@#%' nailed to your head." Is there some third option that I don't know about? Because it sounds like that would be worth exploring.
They say I need to accept why I was blocked, but considering that gaslighting is a crime in some jurisdictions, it's possible I could face civil charges or even a criminal investigation if I did anything that could be interpreted as a confession. To use one of the AE admins' words, my integrity has been impugned to a degree far beyond acceptable.
I've been doing my best to obey the topic ban even though it's humiliating and based on false accusations, including studying AE cases to pick up on things that aren't written down at WP:TBAN. I want to spend the next six months showing ArbCom that unblocking me is the right thing to do. I would like it if you or they gave me the information I need to do that.
This whole mess has left me feeling like a need a lawyer (for our internal laws; this is not a legal threat) or at least a translator. Darkfrog24 (talk) 16:25, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
link in your block log provides you everything you need to know about your current block
What I am getting out of your post is that ArbCom is wants me to use the post in that link you made to me and that I will not be penalized for disregarding other statements that may have been made to me that contradict or otherwise do not support it.

New study on evolution of whale size

@Dunkleosteus77: @Extrapolaris: @Fama Clamosa: I was checking Eurekalert and thought these new findings about the evolution of whale size (and the associated Royal Society paper) might do better as part of Wikipedia's coverage at Baleen whale. Interested? Darkfrog24 (talk) 14:14, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems noteworthy enough to get at least a sentence, but make sure you cite the actual paper, not the news site   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  02:28, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Dunkleosteus77: I was pinging you to see if you wanted to use this source or study. I'd do it myself but I'm blocked and my next appeal isn't for a while. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:51, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You can just write the summary here on the talk page underneath my comment, and if it checks out I'll add it on your behalf. I'd do it but I'm really busy for the next few weeks   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  23:12, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's so nice of you, but I think it's probably a better idea for you to either write the text yourself or perhaps post the link to the Eurekalert article on the Baleen whale talk page. I'm pretty sure we're in the clear per WP:PROXYING because I've never worked on Baleen whale before and the spirit of the rule seems to be to prevent sanctioned editors from participating in the parts of Wikipedia in which their alleged misconduct took place, but I got blocked for making a post that I was more than pretty sure I was allowed to make. Best to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:53, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Email

I need to thank you for your message. You made some valuable points, which are much appreciated. I will take note! -Sb2001 (talk) 17:29, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Thanks, and you may be interested in the recent thread on my talk page. Banedon (talk) 05:41, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help design a new feature to stop harassing emails

Hi there,

The Anti-Harassment Tools team plans to start develop of a new feature to allow users to restrict emails from new accounts. This feature will allow an individual user to stop harassing emails from coming through the Special:EmailUser system from abusive sockpuppeting accounts.

We’re inviting you to join the discussion because you voted or commented in the 2016 Community Wishlist discussion or IdeaLab discussion about letting users restrict who can send them email.

You can leave comments on this discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.

It is important to hear from a broad range of people who are interested in the design of the tool, so we hope you join the discussion.

For the Anti-Harassment Tools team SPoore (WMF), Community Advocate, Community health initiative (talk) 21:48, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

@SPoore: My general philosophy is "only create new rules or features if there is a problem that doing so would solve." We don't want things to get overengineered around here. If people are receiving harassing emails from new accounts, which I suppose are sockpuppets, then this is a good idea. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:55, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On record:

I would like to be unblocked so that I can file my scheduled appeal at ARCA or some other on-Wiki venue of your choosing. I understand that I am not allowed to post anywhere on Wikipedia but ARCA and my talk page until the block is officially lifted. EDIT: And this includes J. Wales' talk page.

Alternately, because it has one year since the block was imposed (February 2016), and it was, at least at that time, an AE action, please consider declaring it a normal block rather than an AE block, and I will proceed to the normal unblock system.

It came up last time that there was some issue with it not being either an AE block or a normal block any more. If this is the case, if the jurisdiction has changed, please put a post on my talk page telling me the precise Wikipedia-rule status of my block so that I may deal with it per established regulations. Darkfrog24 (talk) 17:22, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just following up on the email you sent to ArbCom. As the portion of your block protected as an arbitration enforcement action has expired you are free to appeal your block as normal. That is, as a normal administrative block, either on your talk page (using {{Unblock}} or via UTRS. For the Arbitration Committee, Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 00:50, 18 November 2017 (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).

Darkfrog24 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I am told I was blocked because the way I was seeking to have another sanction, a topic ban, lifted was disruptive. I will now seek to have it lifted through official channels as stipulated at WP:TBAN. If the relevant authorities believe I should have to do something not usually required of sanctioned editors, the thing to do is for them to log in and order me to do it. I've come to suspect I was instead/also blocked because of my interactions with a specific other user. He's posted to my userspace once or twice since then; I deleted his posts without answering. Either way, I have it covered. I have never contested that I am required to obey sanctions until they are lifted. I have made zero attempts at block evasion. I have never used sock puppets in my life, on any website. I have also not edited Wikipedia while not logged in. I've spent the time since being blocked making contributions to other parts of Project Wiki, all without disciplinary action. I translated most of the Euryarchaeota subcategory into Spanish, where I was unsolicitedly nominated for autoverificado status. I made corresponding contributions to Wikidata. I've drafted dozens of articles for Wikinews, where I was awarded the teamwork barnstar and one new guy wrote me a very nice note about how I made him/her feel welcome. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:34, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request is stale. It has failed to convince any administrator to lift the block. You are welcome to make another, significantly different, unblock request if you still believe the block is inappropriate. Yamla (talk) 15:42, 3 December 2017 (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.

@PhilKnight: Please scroll up to just above my appeal text and read the post by Callanecc. I was careful to confirm that this was a normal block before using the {{Unblock}} template. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:54, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

<facepalm> I'll undo my review. PhilKnight (talk) 23:04, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. These matters can get complicated. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@PhilKnight: Hey, PhilK, the review looks properly reverted here on my talk page, but is this unblock request still showing up on the list or wherever it was that you found it? Darkfrog24 (talk) 19:52, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(tpw) yep, when the review was reverted the unblock request was restored to Category:Requests for unblock which is transcluded to the admin dashboard and the backlog page. -- Euryalus (talk) 20:05, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I wonder what it is, then. I don't know if I've ever seen {{Unblock}} take more than ten days before, holiday or no holiday.
I am wondering why you were the one to answer, though. According to Callanecc, this isn't an ArbCom matter. Why would you even know I'd asked Phil a question? Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your talkpage is on my watchlist, given we've had previous conversations. Happy to take it off. And no, it's not an Arbcom matter. It's up to any passing admin who picks it out of the unblock queue. -- Euryalus (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so you just have a habit of putting people's talk pages on your watchlist whenever you have a conversation with them and it has nothing to do with me specifically. All right. Thanks for answering my question. And poor Philliphw; 22 days! Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:28, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: I am at a bit of a loss as to what else is wanted. Can you give me any insight into what information might be missing from my appeal? I don't want to repeat the same content and bore everyone, but I don't want to leave out anything relevant either. Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:18, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I checked your contribution history and judging by what you said to some other applicants, it looks like what your decline text is your standard boiler plate for long-waiting blocks and not any reaction for or against anything I said in my appeal. Is that the case? Because I did appeal right before a big U.S. holiday and I think that, not anything I did or didn't say, might be the reason no one dug in. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:59, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I am told I was blocked because the way I was seeking to have another sanction, a topic ban, lifted was disruptive. I will now seek to have it lifted exclusively through official channels as stipulated at WP:TBAN. I've come to suspect I was instead/also blocked because of my interactions with a specific other user. He has since been ordered not to speak to me and I have not responded to his few posts here. Either way, I have it covered. I will obey the topic ban until it is lifted. In the meantime, I have plans to return to my work at RSN, project Game of Thrones and I have a specific article I want to write. I have made zero attempts at block evasion. I have never used sock puppets in my life, on any website. I have also not edited Wikipedia while not logged in. I've spent the time since being blocked making contributions to other parts of Project Wiki, all without disciplinary action. I translated most of the [[Euryarchaeota]] subcategory [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Contribuciones/Darkfrog24 into Spanish], where I was unsolicitedly [https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Tabl%C3%B3n_de_anuncios_de_los_bibliotecarios/Portal/Archivo/Permisos/Actual&diff=93824692&oldid=93802194 nominated for autoverificado status].
