Your editing privileges have been suspended for 24 hours

I will not template you, since you are likely familiar with the {{unblock|''your reason here''}} format. I would very strongly suggest that you review WP:POINT and WP:DISRUPT before you make any appeal, or launch an ANI discussion over my actions. I will of course note my sanctioning of you at ANI and Jimbo's talkpage, in any case. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:18, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

While I could provide evidence to show that my edits reflected what I was told at ANI and thus were neither pointy nor disruptive, I am reluctant to do so only to have my unblock request denied by an admin who sees things that same way you do. If anyone cares to unblock me, they will. Otherwise, I'll sit this one out. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

If you don't see the point violation, you really ought to be blocked for more time, not less. You'll generally find that feigning cluelessness does not help your case. Friday (talk) 23:06, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

If you think I should be blocked for more time, I am powerless to stop you, but please don't come by to insult me when I'm not really in a position to respond in any public forum (like Wikipedia talk:No personal attacks where I would attempt to demonstrate my cluelessness to your satisfaction). Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

No one said it was policy to insult or threaten vandals, even persistent ones, at ANI. What was said was that one or two instances of frustration being vented (and not directly at the vandal, because it was not on the vandals talkpage or the vandalised article talkpage) was not grounds to question the general ability and dedication of the admin(s) and editors concerned. Per WP:AGF the community is expected to overlook the occasional instance of non optimum interaction or comment, and where there are signs of a deterioration in compliance with WP standards to offer help - and advocating for the removal of an admin from certain activities is a penultimate step (to RfC/Admin or ArbCom desysop Request) rather than an initial one. I would further comment that amending policy requires obvious and transparent consensus, rather than the interpretation of what you think was said in respect of one instance. Even if you claim WP:BOLD, your edits were reverted per WP:BRD and you should have then initiated discussion. Since you edit warred to reincorporate your changes you were violating WP:BRD to make your WP:POINT. I strongly suggest that in future you should ensure that you have consensus for your actions, and that you understand that the community and its policies are not to be gamed when you are in the minority of opinion. LessHeard vanU (talk) 12:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Even if you are right, you edit warred. You can't honestly claim you didn't know that was wrong and would get you blocked. The overall point here is that BF101 is not just any old vandal or troll. He has demonstrated his utter contempt for this project and it's goals literally thousands of times. By making a big dramafest out of PMs remarks you are giving him exactly what he wants. Now the person who knows the most about him is on a break, another user is blocked, and there is discussion all the way up to Jimbo's talk page. WP:DFTT. The best way to deal with BF101 is WP:RBI, and the best way to deal with an admin who has been trying in good faith in every conceivable way to stop him for several years and has gotten to the end of his rope and vented a little about it is to pat him on the back and tell him it going to be ok, and not to get so worked up about it. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Beeblebrox, I hope to explain myself at ANI (unless someone prematurely archives the topic to prevent me from doing so), but I will respond to parts of your comment here because I agree with much of what you say. Vandals are a fact of life on Wikipedia. We should work to discourage them and to mitigate the damage they do. The most successful interaction strategy seems to be, as you say, revert-block-ignore. The least successful interaction strategy seems to be baiting the vandals and becoming, to use the vernacular, a "lulzcow".

The issue with PMDrive1061 is a long-term pattern. He finds "fighting" vandals stressful and lashes out with language that is clearly in violation of WP:NPA, which only spurs on the vandals and trolls. Let's not forget that he is putting himself in this stressful and frustrating position. It is counter-productive and PMDrive1061 should find something else to do on the project.

My request was not that he be de-sysopped, but simply that WP:NPA be enforced for his statement "I would personally like to medicate this idiot with a very large right fist..." which should not be accepted from an admin under any circumstances. Ignoring these types of statements is counter to the best practice of WP:RBI, whatever else you may think of the general issue of civility. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:26, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't give it a thought...

I needed to get my head on straight, which is why I vented in the first place. All self-control basically went out the window since this has gone on for so long and I fear it's driven others off the project. I've e-mailed Jimbo to apologize to him for having to step in my big ol' can of worms. No hard feelings whatsoever, then or now. You're one of the good ones and we're in this together. We just have to somehow convince the powers-that-be that this isn't a playpen and serial vandalism will be followed with possible legal action if that is in fact possible. Somehow,we have to put teeth in this thing. We can block and revert all day, but in the case of multiple, coordinated vandalism (or one very determined little boy in Alabama), the people who run this place need to take some responsibility. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:40, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

PS: The "medicated fist" comment was intended to be humorous and I'm sorry I didn't make that sufficiently clear. The last thing I'd want to do is to actually do bodily harm to anyone, let alone a child, however bratty. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:43, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at Lionelt's talk page.

Please see ANI

[1] I think its time to make this interaction ban absolute. Please feel free to comment. Spartaz ^Humbug! 14:01, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Let's see, it's August and there have been no interactions since January. When Neutralhomer violates his restrictions the first time, I let it slide. When he violates his restriction the second time and I ask for it to be enforced. Rather than enforce it, your response is to ask for an absolute interaction ban? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:37, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

The sanction is aimed more at Neutralhomer then you but for fairness I'm proposing it for both of you. It seems fair from the last discussion at ANI that anything between you and Neutralhomer ends up badly. I usually find it goes wrong when I do high profile blocks so I'm not looking to use my block button here. I do want the bickering to end and a formal unambiguous community sanction leaves no space for this to be wriggled around. Spartaz ^Humbug! 14:43, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not responding to Neutralhomer (as much out of kindness as anything else) so there really isn't any "bickering" to speak of. As I said, I have no objection to an absolute interaction ban, but I don't have much hope that it will be any different than the last one. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Inhibiting requests for enforcement is an area that most admins find very difficult as it effectively disenfranchises users from the usual consensus driven dispute resolution that wikipedia relies on, hence the problems with finding a blocker here. I want an absolutely unambiguous line to make it extremely clear what is and is not going to get someone blocked. Spartaz ^Humbug! 14:54, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Please stop

You are the subject of the sanction proposal and your comment has been put in the designated section for users involved. Please let users who are not involved (the community) to comment on whether the sanction should be enacted or not. Additionally, my recent comment tells you that this is the last straw - your proposal intends on letting this problem continue forever, and I won't support that. If you want to make your own amendment proposal, it is not proper to do so through someone else's, otherwise I would have done the same with respect to Spartaz's proposal. Finally, please cease making inaccurate statements about me or my position - for example, contrary to what you said here (you objected to all of my proposed changes), I supported the proposal that removed "other issues". Thanks! Ncmvocalist (talk) 17:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not interested in playing your games. Please just walk away and leave this for other people to deal with. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:26, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Office Lady Rope Slave‎

Hi, Delicious carbuncle. Conversations on hard / soft porn and the differences between the Japanese and US concepts of such have led to the agreement that these non-explicit films do not belong in the same category with hardcore US videos. I originally added the category, that's why I removed it. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 22:23, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to where that was discussed and agreed? Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:36, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk was between another editor and me-- he'd removed the category from Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and these pink films are in the same style, and of the same lack of expliciteness as are his films. The Pink film category probably makes "Pornographic film" redundant anyway. Whether we should put Pink film as a sub-category of "Pornographic film" or "Erotic film" or "Sexploitation" or whatever, is another matter. Dekkappai (talk) 23:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

In other words, you think that the category is not appropriate? I'll answer at the discussion you began here. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:00, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Why are you reverting the information on the other film titled Rope and Breasts? It's cited, and Jasper Sharp mentions it in conjunction with this film. I didn't link the two, a reliable source did. Dekkappai (talk) 22:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I've answered on the talk page. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

It was the opening comment that was the issue, nothing you said. Off2riorob (talk) 22:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Got it. Sorry for the confusion. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:43, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy to admin board report with no notification or prior attempt at resolution?

This is now done. I have unblocked both accounts a grand total of four minutes after you had posted the report to AN. I must admit I am a bit curious as to why I was not notified, and why you failed to attempt to resolve the matter on my user talk page, and instead went straight to a report at the admin noticeboard? Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 21:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

This seems to be a recurring issue and not specific or limited to your recent blocks. I started the thread in part as a reminder to other admins who may not have seen the first two. Giftiger wunsch's well-intentioned move from AN to ANI has dilued the usefulness of this. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:20, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

That did not answer either question, both of which are customary and even noted in instructions at multiple pages, prior to directly escalating issues, which you failed to do in both cases. -- Cirt (talk) 21:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you are upset about, to be honest. I notified you about the thread within a minute of starting it. As I keep saying, the issue is a wider one and not limited to your recent actions, so discussing it on your talk page does little to remind other admins of the previous resolutions. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:02, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) Just to let you know, I reverted your revert on WP:AN as it simply served to partially-copy the thread moved to WP:ANI. If you feel that all admins should be reminded about the consensus about the word nipple in usernames, you should leave a new note at WP:AN, without mentioning User:Cirt. It hardly seems fair to bring up a particular incident, especially one where the blocking admin was so co-operative, if you do feel that it's not just Cirt who needs to be reminded of this. I think WT:UAA will probably be more appropriate and reach the intended audience more selectively, though. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 21:22, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
  • You actions, though likely well-intentioned, were hasty and unhelpful in this instance. If you read the previous threads, you would have seen that this is a recurring issue and not something that is specific to Cirt or any other admin. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Not hasty at all; in hindsight, I still support my actions. If you wanted to report a specific issue, and you did specifically mention Cirt, it should have been at WP:ANI, and you should have discussed it directly with Cirt first. If you feel that there should be a general reminder about it, WT:UAA is probably your best bet, and individual names should be left out of the note. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 21:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
    • You were so quick to respond to my post that you missed the fact that I notified Cirt on their talk page immediately after starting the thread. You decided that it was an "incident report" (which it wasn't) and moved it to ANI where it is likely not to be seen by as many admins and will soon fall into jokes about nipples if it doesn't get quickly archived by someone like yourself. If you see me starting threads on AN assume that I have done so for a reason and ask me before moving them. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
      • I didn't miss anything; when I left the comment, you hadn't notified Cirt. You did so shortly after, so I retracted the comment. It was an incident report, as you were reporting an incident by Cirt. It's as simple as that; it should have been on ANI and I was right to move it there. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 21:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
        • I think I know what I was writing when I wrote it, but let's not waste any more time discussing it. I'm sure you had good intentions despite the results. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:57, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Talkback reguarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eldebrock @ User_Talk:Wolfnix

Hello, Delicious carbuncle. You have new messages at Wolfnix's talk page.

Who did what when

Obviously she has various agencies that represent her. Or, come to think, as one of the most famous tv personalities in her country, maybe she doesn't need to, I dunno. I'm editing like a automaton here trying to pop things into their appropriate category and apparently I messed up when I clicked over to the UK page that SI.com linked to, that has got modeling shots of her posted on it, by assuming it to be some genuinely contracted photo agency. Have you ever been to such a site? They have a bunch of high quality pix on them of the person they are promoting. Duh. So, again, I f*'d up by not glancing at the site long enough--STILL haven't, btw--to see where the site's pix of her came from...eg her numerous shoots I now know done for H Para Hombres? or what?

As for when I deleted the site from being listed as her agency in the infobox. What, you're Elliot freakin Spitzer, Sheriff o' Wall Street ? I'm sitting at the phones in my trading pit or boiler room or whatever its called working like a dog and you're coming along and making aspersions when to the very best of my knowledge I'm not guilty in any way whatsoever of any kind of foul play. OK? But instead I get from you, "H-B, you left the site in the article as a site for modeling pix!" Yeah, so I did. That's what it is. Bring it to the article's talkpage. ...Although I suppose user tk pg's are OK too. Shrugs.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 00:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Per wp:PRESERVE you're supposed to be careful abt removing sourced material. Please contribute in good faith to the discussion on the talk page. Do you really think mention of the World Cup should be deleted? If you are too lazy to improve this coverage, then, per basic editing guidelines youre simply sposed ta mention your concerns on the tkpg, not delete in whole other's contributions that are in portion correct. Can you show me a guideline that says other than that?--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 00:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Discussion On Me(Kagome_85) PLEASE READ!!!!!!

Although I know you might delete this and refuse to reply to it given that another user has been deleting my posts claiming how I am not allowed to post since I'm banned, I think you should listen to me, given that a user is harassing me(the one that started the discussion on me). This is what I posted on the Wikipedia thread that was removed: Although I know that this account will be banned for "sockpuppetry" or "evasion of block" or whatever, I just want to point out have you thought to see if these accounts created to say how the account Kagome_85 should have a sitewide ban MIGHT be related to Moukity? Kagome_85 is my account, but these accounts created to say there should be a sitewide ban are not. If an IP trace was done you would find that this account and the accounts made to say there should be a sitewide ban put on me probably start with 142., but you would also see that the rest of the digits that follow my account and the ones that follow the accounts made to say there should be a sitewide ban put in place on me are different. I know you may say that any user that is guilty would say that, however, I am pointing that out since a.) I am not stupid enough to go on here saying you should put a sitewide ban on me by using a different account since I know you can trace it and b.) Why would I go make another account to report something I did on another account when I know that would just get me in trouble since I can get caught? and c.) Why would I go linking to a news article about me when I don't want people to know about it? I'm not looking for attention or anything like some people are.

I hope that you consider what I said since I felt I should point out the fact that Moukity could(and more than likely is) be behind these new accounts made to say that I should be banned from the site permanently. Anyway, feel free to ban this account as you probably will, but I'll be putting the retirement sign on it anyway since you can be guaranteed I won't be using this anymore. By the way, the only reason I found this post was that I went to check the Incidents Noticeboards for something on another topic that I was told about that has nothing to do with me, so you can't say that I had any knowledge of this thread because I never, if you looked at the date that this post was made you would see that. Please, I implore you, to do an investigation into the accounts that started this discussion on me, and see if they were made by Moukity (a.k.a. Blackmagic1234). If you see this, then you will know that he is at fault as well. Sango 42 (talk) 11:08, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

A word of advice to both parties - it should be apparent to you that these types of things can lead to unpleasant real-world consequences (legal and otherwise). Stop editing Wikipedia, stop posting messages about one another here or elsewhere, and stop antagonizing each other. This will not end well for either one of you and the longer it goes on the worse the consequences are likely to be. The sooner you figure that out and walk away, the better. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Your second link on your user page doesn't work.

I thought you might like to know that the page for I'm not Pauline Berry seems to redirect to a broken link. I'm not criticising you, I just thought that then the formatting of the page would be a little clearer. Thanks.--Cymbelmineer (talk) 15:11, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

The reason for that is probably covered in my talk page archives or in the ANI archives if you search on my username. Thanks for noticing, though. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:59, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Why isn't IMDB a reliable source for BLPs? At least it is better than no source or a false one, but I don't understand why it's unreliable. However, I have not restored my statement; I just want to hear your opinion on the matter. Thanks. HeyMid (contributions) 09:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

By longstanding consensus, IMDB is not considered a reliable source for anything, but is generally accepted for uncontroversial information relating directly to film or tv work. You should have no trouble finding many discussions relating to this in the archives of WP:BLPN. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

re: Creme Puff

;-p

If you wish to delete my articles callously and mean-spiritedly,

then please go to the effort of reading the massively enumerated list of highly reputable third-party subjects founded specifically around the article DisInformation (search engine). Perhaps your efforts would be well-spent if you paid a blind bit of attention to the serious impact the subject had on numerous reliable publications, then you would see fit not to get rid of my work. Your destructive editing is so self-serving it is pitiful.--Cymbelmineer (talk) 22:33, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

As it stands, the article is full of original research and synthesis. Although you have two decent sources, it would be better to expand the existing Disinfo article. English doesn't appear to be your first language, so I will assume that your comments were not meant as a personal attack, but please be mindful of how your words may come across. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, English is my first language. It is refreshing to see such care given to ones dignity on Wikipedia. Lets make one thing clear: all my commentary is published. I somehow doubt that you read all four clear, investigated sources that appear on just about every major search engines terminology, but at any rate, your blatant editorialising is not backed up by the facts. You are being faecinorous and avataristic if you assume that deleting such an article without fair-warning is not kleptomaniacal. I hope I've enriched your vocabulary. Now go and get a job, because I will not stand idly by and watch my name get defamed by some old-maidish user who has not asserted any true notability for any of their comments.--Cymbelmineer (talk) 22:46, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Just the usual trolling sockpuppet of a grudge-bearing user. See this ANI thread and this followup. Protecting the article will help, but only result in a different target. Since the ANI threads didn't get anywhere and private discussions with ArbCom members have not worked (the user's identity is known to ArbCom), I may have to follow up more formally, but I would rather not because it would be a tedious exercise and reopen a conflict that has been largely dormant since this user ceased editing on a regular basis.

BLPprod

Hi Delicious Carbuncle, I hope you don't mind, but I've removed your BLPprod from Brandon Jones (actor) as the article has an IMDB link. During the last RFC I tried unsuccessfully to get the sticky prod process broadened from unsourced to ignore Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIN and Utube "sources", and IMDB is usually reckoned better than those, at least for screen credits. If the article had been unsourced when you tagged it then an IMDB link would not have been enough to justify removal of the tag, but as it was more a {{refimproveBLP}} then it doesn't qualify for a BLPprod. Cheers ϢereSpielChequers 17:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Since IMDB ha been consistently rejected as a reliable source for biographies of living people, I considered that it was as good as unsourced. If the addition of an IMDB link would not have been sufficient to remove the tag, then it seems odd that the presence of one would necessitate it's removal, but it's par for the course. Maybe another RFC will have a different result once there is a longer history of BLPprods. It's a moot point since someone added other links, but thanks for letting me know. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:33, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Paid editing

Found myself wondering what your views on paid editing are. Pro? Anti? Pro some of it sometimes? Anti all of it? Or is it all a little more complex than that? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 12:43, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Paid editing goes on here all the time, whether it is contractors/editors paid to create articles or people who edit articles of interest to their employer as part of their job. If Wikipedia had a desire to eliminate or mitigate this, it would need to take measures that would substantially change its character.

I am generally of the opinion that what matters is the results - if paid editors are creating decent articles that meet all of our guidelines, that should be fine and we probably won't even notice. Where I differ from many people who hold this opinion is that I have concerns about how the articles are created. If someone gets paid to write an article because they can write and are familiar with Wikipedia, that in itself isn't a problem for me. If people use sockpuppets or meatpuppets to generate the appearance of consensus or to sway AfDs, that is not ok. If people have a clear conflict of interest but refuse to admit it, that is not ok. If people are attempting to co-opt Wikipedia to benefit their commercial venture that is not ok (see User:Eclipsed's various proposals). I have to say that most of the paid editing I see smells spammy to me, but I have a pretty low tolerance. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:28, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

I cautioned Silver seren about their comment on legal matters for forestall one of those debates, not to encourage one. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

BLP violations

Please stop the BLP violations, as you have done twice now, at page Jamie Sorrentini. If you continue to violate WP:BLP, this disruptive behavior pattern will be reported. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 06:55, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Again, I do not see how this is a BLP violation and you have offered no explanation. Further, I feel that your threat of a block for adding a source used in other BLPs (and, what's more, added to articles including BLPs by you) is both over-reaching your admin powers and a clear indication of your inability to view objectively anything remotely related to Scientology. I suggest that if a block is forthcoming, you had best find solid grounds for it and find someone else to do it. Regardless, I won't take it lightly. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 07:07, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I am not threatening a block. I will not act in an admin capacity, as I am involved in this issue. But I will report you if you continue to flagrantly go against the 3:1 WP:RSN consensus, and continue to violate WP:BLP. -- Cirt (talk) 07:09, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Surely the appropriate solution to this dispute would be to wait for the RSN discussion to reach a consensus? If there is a genuine issue with adding the source to Jamie Sorrentini, it can be removed by someone other than yourself. Perhaps they will be able to explain how it violates WP:BLP as you seem unable or unwilling. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 07:20, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

In cases of WP:BLPs, we should defer to the 3:1 consensus to wait until after discussion has resolved before using questionable sources that fail WP:RS. -- Cirt (talk) 07:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Has it failed WP:RS? I thought that is what we were meant to be discussing. And when did majority rule replace consensus? That discussion has only just started. I find your aggressive actions in this episode disturbing. It would be nice if you would let things run their course without hyperbole, doublespeak, contradictions, and threats. In fact, it would be nice if you didn't keep typing things but never addressing any of my questions, so please don't reply here unless absolutely necessary. Thanks.

ANI notice

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.-- Cirt (talk) 07:53, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Regarding this, it seems clear that this sort of issue falls under the remit of WP:ARBSCI. I am making no statement as to whether or not your edits are good or bad in this case, but merely notifying you that you are editing in an area under special ArbCom sanctions, and that by editing in this area, you find your edits under special scrutiny. You may be blocked without further warning, after this notification, should it be determined that you are editing tendentiously in the area of Scientology. Again, no statement as to whether your edits so far have met that description, but you ARE on unstable ground here, so tread cautiously. --Jayron32 08:09, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
