RFC comment

(you wrote) Thank you for taking the time to make a well thought out comment on the Rfc/QZ Deletion dispute. I appreciate your calm detailed description of the situation. Take care, FloNight 20:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome. Do please note that I have also commetned on the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Statement by DESiegel|arbitration request]], urging the arbcom to take the case. I think that jeff has gotten a little strident over this issue, but I can hardly blame him, as other people have been IMO simply ridign roughshod over consensus, in ways that I think are in fact quite possibly ban-worthy, and IMO jeff is basically on the right on this issue, and people keep misconstruing what he is saying rather badly.

Hi FloNight, you asked me to reconsider. I genuinely do believe that an editor should have about 12 months experience at the very least. Four months does not seem to be much experience to me. Sorry if you disagree, but that is my opinion at the moment. Gold♥ 02:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Transnistria arbitration

I would like to express my surprise concerning the probable outcome of the Transnistrian arbitration.

On one side you have an astroturfing network, proved media manipulation, and sockpuppet farms. On the other, you have guys that uncovered this large-scale manipulation and are now calm and reasonable (once the main manipulators are gone, that is). And what this ArbCom does is to inflict similar bans on both sides.

How is this ethical? Do you mean that fighting manipulation attempts is punishable? The only way of bringing down a manipulator being to accept the same punishment? And how about balancing punishment with evidence? Dpotop 12:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

your pro censorship ruling

Is it ok to have in the User:Tobias Conradi page the following

---

The orginal version of this page contained admin right abuse listing and was deleted. The deletion is not shown in the deletion log.

This user thinks Wikipedia should be more tranparent with respect to admin actions. All users should be allowed to have annotated listings of admin actions, e.g. listings of admin right abuses.

Unfortunatly the ArbCom ruled that "Tobias Conradi is prohibited from maintaining laundry lists of grievances." and referring here to a simple listing of annotated diffs. User_talk:Tobias Conradi/RfA

Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Tobias_Conradi/Proposed_decision#Laundry_lists_of_grievances

So User:Tobias Conradi is denied the right to collect evidences of admin right abuses.

It reminds me on people committing crime and when the victim wants to change things by making the crime public he is additionally abused by being censored.

Thank you for your comments

Thank you for your comments in my RfC. I hope that getting the full story out in a single location will be of benefit should questions about what occurred ever come up again. I look forward to working with you in continuing to help improve the project now and in the future. Thanks again. CLA 07:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Statement from Zero0000

Hello, Thank you for asking for my side of the story. I am going overseas and there's a good chance I won't be able to discuss this for about 10 days. I don't even have time left right now to read everything that has been said so far. I would much appreciate it if you could copy the following statement to the necessary place or places.

I found an article called something like "pigs and monkeys" which consisted of rabid anti-islamic filth. No attempt at context, no attempt at identifying the content as refering to an extreme fringe, no mention of the background of the groups that bring us this "information", no redeeming features at all but just pure islamophobic pornography. I reacted with the "delete" button in a fit of anger, just as I would if a Nazi came along and wrote a similar article about "some Jews". When I cooled down, I remembered the ArbCom ruling; reading it again now I can see that I broke it. So I have to plead guilty.

Thanks! --Zero^talk 09:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
