|}==re: your response== The talk page is not the same as the Zendik Farm entry itself. It's FOR opinions, and the entry page is not. You did vandalize, plain and simple, by removing my entry from the talk page. No two ways around it.

I read your little post below your response to me, and you seem to equate "hearsay" with "anything bad about Zendik." Cited information is the only thing that's supposed to be on Wikipedia entries, plain and simple, and every "bad" thing written about Zendik has been cited. By the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Washington City Paper...

I keep my edits factual. I provide sources. You do neither. I don't have a grudge against Zendik. Wikipedia policy states that articles are to be factual and provide sources, and no edit I've ever made has been slanted in a particular direction without their being a reliable source for that information. To leave out criticisms of Zendik farm would be to ignore the largest part of the public opinion of them. Face it - the only people reveling the Zendik rhetoric are Zendiks themselves, ex-members that still long to rejoin, and naive college students that get that magazine pushed on them at Bonnarroo. Your edits to the page have only served to make it look like the group's own site - that is to say, like slanted propaganda.

With every word you write, you look more and more like a Zendik stooge. I bet they sent you here.

You need to familiarize yourself with this entire section of the site. Also, Jyre, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wulf_Zendik is not the place to discuss any issues you might have with me. You need to read AfD etiquette. - Rashaun 22:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Your vandalism on the Zendik talk page

You deleted my most recent entry on the Zendik talk page, and you've also been vandalizing the page itself. This is your only warning before I see to it that you're banned from Wikipedia. - Rashaun 05:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

response to rashaun

I don't vandalize - whatever your personal feelings about Zendik, this article is not a platform for personal grudges. Please don't edit the article in a way that just grinds the axe against them or their reputation. (please see below..)

Addressing allegations, criticism, and personal attacks on Zendik Farm article page

The Zendik Farm article page should not be used to attack Zendik. It's to provide information so people may understand Zendik. I want to make sure that the representation on this page is not unfairly slanted or abusive. My personal experiences at Zendik farm may not be representative, but my contributions are aimed at balance and fairness, not censorship. I do feel strongly that hearsay should be balanced if allowed to stay on the page. People with an axe to grind against Zendik should not be allowed to present hearsay as fact. Opinions are fine, criticism is fine, but not personal attacks.

Questions Answered

Ok, first thing is that the talk page is a place to discuss an article, or in the case of a user talk page to discuss issues related to that user. I suggest you familiarize yourself with what a talk page is [1] and what talk page guidelines there are [2]. I see you posted a response to criticism related to the Zendik Farm article, this would be appropriate for that page's talk section, as generally a user's talk page is for other users to talk to you. If you want to know how to improve the Zendik Farm article then look at the Wikipedia Manual of Style [3] a guide on how to write good articles. I hope I have answered your questions, but if not you know where I can be found. Also of note is that when signing a comment you don't need to put your name just four ~~~~ will do.

Thanks...

Okay, I'm grateful for the assistance...

OHMIGOD I had no idea there was so much protocol. so many guidelines, such attention to detail. I guess that's why Wikipedia is so popular, all the effort that goes into NPOV and the rest of it. Apologies for my dunderheaded editing so far, I'm still learning about how to properly use these guidelines, but I'm interested in appropriate editing so bear with me...

vandalism at Zendik_farm

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Zendik_farm, you will be blocked from editing.

Toodles. - Rashaun 02:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

re:

It's too late to start acting all serious and cooperative. You've done nothing but show your ass since the beginning of this whole mess and anything you have to say to me can be shoved directly up there. - Rashaun 21:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

also

This is your last warning. The next time you delete or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Zendik_farm, you will be blocked from editing. Rashaun 21:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocked for 48 hours

I have blocked you for 48 hours for your revert war with Talmon6 on Zendik Farm. Revert wars like that are not acceptable for any reason; if you are having trouble with a POV warrior, then you need to get outside help. - jredmond 21:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
