Excuse me?[edit]

Your edit summary is quite offensive. I have investigated tens of thousands of reports of copyright issues. I get most of them right on occasion I make a mistake, and if I make a mistake and it's politely pointed out I will look into it and apologize if I made an error. You didn't accuse me of making a mistake you accused me of bad faith editing. S Philbrick (Talk) 17:25, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've now gone back and compared your text to this site. Your assertion that it is "ORIGINAL PROSE" doesn't stand up to examination.

You are welcome to explain why I might be wrong but please do not reinstate the text without reaching a consensus on whether your text is acceptable.--S Philbrick (Talk) 17:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ANI[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:30, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked[edit]

I'm just assuming that repeatedly saying "gfys" leads properly to the culmination of "fafo".

Request reason:

Description for Texas Medal of Valor from primary source:

"The medal pendant is a silver five-pointed star, point up, 1-1/2 of an inch in circumscribing diameter. In the raised center of the star is a live oak branch with acorns on the wearer's right and an olive branch with olives on the wearer's left encircle the inscription, "VALOR". The star is suspended by one link from a silver bar, 1-3/8 of an inch long and 9/32 of an inch high, bearing the inscription "TEXAS" in raised letters. The reverse of the pendant and bar is blank. The pendant is suspended by a metal loop attached to a dark blue moiré silk neckband 1-3/8 of an inch wide and 24 inches long behind a hexagonal pad in the center, made of the same ribbon as the neckband. The color of the ribbon is the blue used in the ribbon of the United States Army's Distinguished Service Cross. A white enameled five-pointed star, 3/8 of an inch in circumscribing diameter, is centered on the hexagonal pad, point up."

Description for Texas Medal of Valor from original prose:

"The Lone Star Distinguished Service Medal is a silver star, 1-1/2 inches in diameter, with five points facing upward. In the center of the star, there is a live oak branch with acorns on the right and an olive branch with olives on the left, encircling the word "VALOR". The medal is suspended from a silver bar, 1-3/8 inches long and 9/32 inches high, with the word "TEXAS" inscribed in raised letters. The back of the medal and bar is blank. The medal hangs from a metal loop attached to a dark blue, moiré silk neckband, 1-3/8 inches wide and 24 inches long, with a hexagonal pad in the center made of the same ribbon as the neckband. The ribbon is colored blue, which is the same shade used in the ribbon of the United States Army's Distinguished Service Cross. A white enameled five-pointed star, 3/8 inches in diameter, is centered on the hexagonal pad, with its points facing upward."

Injustice: I am requesting a comprehensive examination, ab-initio, of all disputed entries for "copyright violations" from an independent body of accredited professionals.

Justice: I am requesting investigation into the dilettante cabal (User:Jpgordon, User:Diannaa, User:Sphilbrick, User:Trainsandotherthings, and User:Ravenswing) for harassment (including bullying, intimidation, talk-page spamming, false accusations, mis-gendering, and unwarranted destruction of good faith edits and contributions totaling hundreds of hours of work) and abuse of power culminating in the suspension of my account without due process.

Compensation: I am seeking reactivation of my account, restoration of my work, the indefinite suspension of administrative powers from the cabal, suspension of their accounts until they've completed an accredited cyber-bullying course — along with justice sought for other user's they've abused, and a public apology on my talk page and all other pages I have been defamed.

Decline reason:

From your unblock request, it is immediately apparent you are not a good fit for Wikipedia. I suggest you find a new hobby. PhilKnight (talk) 05:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Hm. Quite aside from PhilKnight's piquant and to-the-point response, are you seriously claiming "hundreds of hours of work" for a net addition to the encyclopedia of 85kb? Ravenswing 15:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was surprised to learn I'm an administrator now, and part of a cabal with several users I've never interacted with before. I had to look up what "dilettante" means. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:29, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alas, how quickly you forget ... I dropped a barnstar on your talk page last month. Plainly we're in the cabal together! Ravenswing 23:52, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Texas Border Security and Support Service Ribbon moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Texas Border Security and Support Service Ribbon, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:11, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
