Hi sandstein

You have recently deleted something I worked very hard on. I dont even live in texas I am not getting paid. I am a handicapped person who just wanted to put the correct information on the anime matsuri page because there was false info there (such as guests that did not appear and missing musical guests).

I am writing to implore you to please put them back. I am a sufferer of lupus raynauds endomitriosis and osteoarthritis and writing is the only thing that makes me happy.

I am a active person in Anime and thats pretty much it. It makes me happy and I attend conventions when I can. Anime matsuri being a favorite.

So if there is anyway you can help me return my hard hours of work and research to what it was this morning please do.

Recent work

Hi I am hoping to receive your reply and your aid.

Because you have deleted hours of my work. One that was a labor of love. I am living in New York and I attend anime conventions for a hobby. I am home mostly due to illnesses that i suffer from. I do not get paid to write or attend conventions. I just like to go.

You have recently deleted my work on the ANime Matsuri page. I was correcting information on guests that did not show up, ones that did, their fashion show (which i go to because i dress lolita), and missing musical guests. I get my information from having attended or actually reading press releases and other webpress.

Again i do not get paid. I just wanted the page to look pretty. Is there anyway I can recieve your aid for any new edits to be kept. As they are accurate ones. ANd Its really saddening to see hours of work go away so quickly — Preceding unsigned comment added by MiaCarla (talk • contribs) 18:53, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Questions

Can you remind me the proper place to report people who've violated AA2? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:53, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

That's WP:AE.  Sandstein  09:35, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

And it's okay for me to report others, right? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 03:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, unless you are subject to restrictions such as a topic ban.  Sandstein  14:09, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

I thought you said a couple months ago I could even with my current ban? Or is that ARCA? TheShadowCrow (talk) 02:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

If you are topic banned, you may not file AE requests related to the topic.  Sandstein  06:01, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

User:Ismet11

Following these edits[1][2][3][4][5][6][7],could you inform User:Ismet11 of the restrictions per AA2? --Kansas Bear (talk) 06:05, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Addressed, see the ANI thread about this.  Sandstein  14:15, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Sockpuppet of User:Ismet11?

Would User:Bilge88[8][9] appear to be a sockpuppet of User:Ismet11 to you? Or am I hearing quacking noises because the Baltimore Ravens could not beat the lousy Green Bay Packers? --Kansas Bear (talk) 04:43, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Possibly. I can't edit much right now, I would recommend WP:SPI.  Sandstein  06:21, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

NovaSkola

Hi Sandstein. Please take a look at User_talk:EdJohnston#User:NovaSkola. --Երևանցի ^talk 16:46, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Right... seems actionable, but please submit it to WP:AE if you think action should be taken, so that it can be looked at more thoroughly.  Sandstein  18:30, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Alright. --Երևանցի ^talk 20:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

WP:ARBPIA questions

Hey, Sandstein, I need some help sorting something out. First, in this section of the case, the clear vandalism item was struck (I assume that when it says "suppressed" underneath, that's all that means). Then in the last bullet point it says what the amendment was. Wouldn't it be easier if the suppressed point #1 was replaced with the amendment? Am I misreading this? Second, in the case of a registered account, the case says that a violation of 1RR can result in sanctions even without a warning. Yet, the warning template, {{Palestine-Israel enforcement}}, is much milder. The language of the template effectively says that except in "egregious" cases, there must always be a warning first. Shouldn't the template language be changed to match the reality?--Bbb23 (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure that I can help you there, as I've not followed the drafting and application of these provisions. The only body who can authoritatively clarify them is the Arbitration Committee, at WP:ARCA.  Sandstein  20:27, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

User:Yerevanci, previously topic banned editor due to arbitration enforcement discretionary sanction, falsifying sources

Hello Sandstein. You previously topic banned User:Yerevanci [10] [11]. I'm wondering if you can look at the Turkish people page. Several editors are falsifying sources (detailed explanation here: User_talk:Proudbolsahye#Falsification_of_Sources) Yerevanci is adding the same problematic material, despite my edit summaries that I warned 2 editors about source falsification. I am not against such content, when they are properly cited; however, I am against misrepresentation of sources.Cavann ^(talk) 21:36, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
