Out of scope

[edit]

I have removed the section you added at Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses. An account of 2 JWs helping a Jewish girl has very little to do with persecution of JWs.--Jeffro77 (talk) 00:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:THREAT, you are required to withdraw the false claim of libel you made at Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance. If you fail to do so, you will be reported.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I came here independently to point this out and found Jeffro's post. To save time, our policy says:
"It is important to refrain from making comments that others may reasonably understand as legal threats, even if the comments are not intended in that fashion. For example, if you repeatedly assert that another editor's comments are "defamatory" or "libelous", that editor might interpret this as a threat to sue for defamation, even if this is not intended. To avoid this frequent misunderstanding, use less charged wording (such as “That statement about me is not true and I hope it will be corrected for the following reasons...”) to avoid the perception that you are threatening legal action for defamation.
Rather than blocking immediately, administrators should seek to clarify the user's meaning and make sure that a mere misunderstanding is not involved. For example, a user might assert another editor's comments are "defamatory" because they are unaware of certain policies (such as harassment, personal attacks, incivility, etc.) and require assistance in dealing with such comments. While such comments may not be per se legal threats, they may fall under the scope of the aforementioned policies and repeated or disruptive usage can result in the user being blocked."
As an administrator, I am asking you to clarify exactly what you mean by using the word 'libel'. In other words, you need to change what you wrote. If you feel you can't do this of course I will have to block you, but hopefully this is a misunderstanding. Dougweller (talk) 09:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Your post to WQA and on my talk page satisfies me. Dougweller (talk) 14:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
