I am requesting that Sandra Glover be removed off of the following link: Categories: American sports people in doping cases because none of items below apply to her: Been suspended by a sporting body (an international governing body, national federation, professional league, or government agency) for illegal performance-enhancing drug, and/or banned drug, use Publicly admitted such use Been found to have taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs by a court of law Been suspended by a sporting body for failure to submit to mandatory drug testing

She was just given a public warning. If you're putting athletes with public warning on the list then you have left out a large number of athletes. Her offense is not the same as the athletes on that list.

I would like to request formal mediation on the artoicles concerning coca tea/and coca for the united states of america viewers.The reason for this request is,we have tried the talked page only to be threatened with abuse of editioral power by a person named ,bondea.Attached is the article that was deleted by this person ,bondea for truly no other reason then censoreship on this person's behalf.There have been other folk who have tried to get 100 percent accurate information n this argricultural crop and product from South America only to also be censored.Why indeed is wkipedia censoring any verifiable,accurate laws and newly found verifiable research on the product,why indeed???I have attached a copy of the article that was incompetently shunned by this ,bonea only because this person does not want true and accurrate knowledge out to the American public.With sooo much of american lives deemed succesful or a life of poverty by so called drug testing results.Verifiable laws and knowledge on this product is vital to many many Americans.paita p.s.. how do I attach the saved article from your own site?

Dear Wikipedia,

An unauthorised "contributor" has recently made defamatory and untrue statements about my father, Mr. Richard Searby AO QC, including that he died recently this year as the consequence of a bizarre washing machine accident. Neither of these matters are true.

The matters alleged, while possibly providing childish amusement to the person who posted them, are actionable at law, both in your jurisdiction and in Australia.

I am a lawyer, as is my father, and we have CONSIDERABLE legal resources at our disposal to deal with conduct of this nature.

Please identify and block the miscreant from posting further posts of this nature who has engaged in falsely amending my father's Wikipedia profile, inform me within 7 days of the name, e-mail address and identity of the person in question. A legal team is currently being convened to take immediate action to deal with these matters, howsoever the defamatory action may develop.

It goes without saying that Wikipedia ought properly block this miscreant from posting any further defamatory statements on your website.

Yours faithfully,

Patrick Searby

Dear Patrick: I hope you're still reading this. I have, in fact, blocked the person in question. The person's user name is Orangepouridge. Unfortunately, that's all the information we have on the person. We don't require users to register a name or email address when they sign up with Wikipedia. While a select group of users can access some private information (like the person's IP address), such information cannot be released, even to other Wikipedia editors. I hope that this solves the matter. I do wish we had caught the problem sooner--it did take almost 10 days to fix the problem. Unfortunately, there are over 4 million articles on Wikipedia, so sometimes vandalizing edits are not noticed quickly. If you ever see problems on that article in the future, you're welcome to leave a post on my talk page (User Talk:Qwyrxian). Finally, I have to note one thing: Wikipedia has a strict policy that says that you can't make legal threats while editing here. Doing so has a terrible effect on the editing environment, and, as a general rule, we block people for doing so. I understand your concern in this case, as well as the fact that you probably weren't aware of the rule, and so won't take any action in that regard.
