User talk:The undertow

Your latest article has been speedied

Man, I came back from trying to sleep, and I saw the article you created. It's been speedied for self-referential and notability reasons. Please don't recreate it, Wikipedia's not for settling grudges like that, ok? (Once you've read this, let me know and I'll blank it). SirFozzie (talk) 11:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see the evidence that the creation of the article was in some way based on a grudge. As I seen it, it was very carefully worded with NPOV in mind. — _Maggot^Syn 13:40, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was nothing in the article that was meant to position myself nor steer others against a certain belief. We are all here to give free information for those who cannot or do not have access to it - and the article I wrote contained zero original research, and was quite well-sourced. One cannot, and should not delve into the motives of editors, but look at the articles themselves, and deem them worthy of inclusion. WP:N would deem that this article, like all I have written, follow that well-adhered to doctrine. the_undertow ^talk 14:38, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

I have blocked you, per discussion on the arbitration committee's mailing list. Raul654 (talk) 15:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big shocker. The same guy who brought me to AC because he is the leader of the ID crew. I'm outraged. Or not. Your block is not only a COI, but on a personal note, you are just waiting with baited breath to get rid of me. So why was I blocked? The article I created was and has satisfied all notability issues. What is the reason for my block. Is this sanctioned by AC or a unilateral decision? the_undertow ^talk 15:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You were blocked because your creation of the Dan Rosenthal article was clearly an attempt to bait Swatjester, and it was the straw that broke the camel's back as far as your misbehavior here is concerned. It is sanctioned by the arbitration committee unanimously. Raul654 (talk) 16:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I don't agree with any of this undertow, I'd suggest you take some time off from wikipedia for a little while nonetheless. It can only help. — _Maggot^Syn 15:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this infinite time-off on wiki :) the_undertow ^talk 15:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take care of yourself and reconsider that later. — _Maggot^Syn 15:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've written some of this up for the community at ANI. I've left some stuff out, deliberately, as you'll see. I hope this explains more fully.

Unfortunately, the decision, already held due to previous off-wiki stances and actions, was tipped by today's use of Wikipedia to write an article specifically for the purpose of re-opening the dispute and doing "something" on-wiki. Raul enacted the decision, but it was not in any way "personal" of him nor related to anything else.

Echoing the hopes above. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 19:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
