:That is a very good question. The ANI page appears to have given partisan users in this area an opportunity to behave aggressively and make unfounded accusations. No retraction yet, I note. This user certainly has zero credibility without a retraction.

TY!
Sarek, I received an email from Anthony asking for advice about his block and how to undo it. I hope you don't mind, but I've taken the liberty of changing the block setting so he can edit his own talk page. Would you object if I were also to unblock him, or would you be willing to? My experience of Anthony is that he is a good and decent (and normally very patient) editor. If something got out of hand here I feel sure that it's out of character and unlikely to be repeated. SlimVirgin talk contribs 06:43, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi again, I have to go offline now. I unblocked Anthony after raising the issue on AN/I here, and there seemed to be agreement that an unblock was reasonable. Two commentators wanted him to acknowledge that he shouldn't have made the comments he did, but he seems defiant, so I don't think that's going to happen. I really think it's best left there, because he's otherwise a good contributor. I hope it's okay with you that I unblocked. Best, SlimVirgin talk contribs 09:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note, Sarek. Just confirming that I do realize the block was for the fool comments, not the libel one. SlimVirgin talk contribs 23:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
IN REGARDS TO TYSON PAGE
Okay, im not some big shot wiki buff but I in fact know alot about boxing and particularly about boxing. It is QUITE KNOWN that tyson's PINNACLE which was when he was considered at his best, was when he defeated Spinks, no need to geet super technical however if you watched ESPN's special called Mike Tyson 2-Disc Knockout Edidtion, youd see that Bert Sugar, Brian Kenny and Teddy Atlas would agree. Im not sure how to reference that but there you go. Also "Iron Mike" was Tyson's main nickname, on the side there were some other nickmnames(baby bull, baddest man on the planet, & kid dynamite) HOWEVER, if you WATCHED all of tyson's fights youd see that in his introduction he would be called "Iron" Mike Tyson in the majoirty of the fights, seriously i cant believe you're debating that. Lastly, the sentence in which you declare is opinionated is directly from Tyson the Film/Documentary and is quite understood by the general public. I realize you try to get super technical with your sources but these are not radical singular opinions and im sorry im not good with sourcing but i just gave you the sources so if you know how to do all that then please do because im tired of you claiming this non nuetrality stuff and opinions, THEYRE NOT. please respond directly to me about these issues.

AN/I 10 June 2010
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Anthony (talk) 20:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- 72 hours for that was way OTT - especially since you were discussing apologies on Anthony's talk page. Please unblock. Spartaz Humbug! 20:53, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
- Dont be so trigger happy with the block button, as you were with Anthony. The average intellegence remark was clearly a GF way of saying verbal wasnt a fool. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 23:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Don't be too hard on Sarek. I am being very annoying. I can't see how else to deal with this. Sorry. Anthony (talk) 00:54, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Unreserved apology
You assumed I was reading this which said "do not use 'libel' even innocently" when Verbal and Smashville had actually linked me to this which only says "don't make legal threats, or use words that could reasonably be construed as such." Since my words have been construed by no reasonable person (and many have looked at them) as implying a legal threat, your rebuke seemed, to me, idiotic. Your blocks for incivility were both entirely justified, I was behaving like a person (who thought he was) beset by a tribe of morons, and deserved to be shut up. Anthony (talk) 08:51, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds like we've finally all gotten on the same page. I'm sorry that I didn't make it clearer where I was coming from when I told you to "tone it down" -- I assumed you had read what I thought you were being linked to.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Re:
No. I didn't know Fragma was in the penalty box, though. I tried, I honest to God tried to be patient, but it just got worse and worse. I knew when I typed that edit summary that it wasn't a good thing, but geez, copy and pasting back a warning template and even pasting in my name. Sheesh. I have a couple editors who I am talking to about this to help me still try to be good. I was trying to figure out what to do about all of this. Thanks for the warning. Anyone ever say that before??

Gavin Menzies sock drawer
Hi Sarek. Do you think it's worthwhile opening a formal sockpuppet investigation? Favonian (talk) 20:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- We probably should, but they'll probably just call WP:DUCK on it. Let's just play Whack-a-Troll unless someone shows up whom we can't tell for sure.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:44, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
3rd Opinion
Hi, I don't want to alter your comments, but I would request that you phrase the 3O request honestly. It is not "a paragraph", as you stated at WP:3O and on the article talk page, but simply two sentences. I trust that you will make the change immediately. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:32, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- If you have requested a third opinion, the information should stay in the article so that someone can read it and comment on it. Removing it makes that a little difficult. Please revert your edit until the third opinion is provided. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:33, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Anybody hanging out on the 3O page is perfectly capable of reading page histories.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Please revert your edit until the third opinion is provided. I am trying to assume good faith, but you are making it difficult. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:36, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Likewise, I'm sure. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:39, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Off to bed without removing your lies from 3O and the talk page? Should I interpret that as permission for me to alter your comments? GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:39, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Depends. How badly do you want to get blocked for disruptive editing tonight? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:41, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- If that isn't the definition of abuse of power, I don't know what is. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

List of Masonic Temples
That page was made as a replacement of List of Masonic buildings. It would have solved a problem, not created one. PeRshGo (talk) 21:48, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- It was either a content fork or a cut-and-paste move -- either way, not cool.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- People didn't like that List of Masonic buildings was too vague, as there is no existing definition of what a "Masonic building" is, but still wanted a list so I moved the content to Masonic Temple. People didn't like that Masonic Temple had a list in it so I moved the list to List of Masonic Temples. Basically you deleted the perfect compromise. PeRshGo (talk) 00:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Any way I can get the page back for my userspace? PeRshGo (talk) 01:44, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)Again, cut-and-paste moves violate the WP:GFDL. You didn't move the list, you copied the content without bringing over the contribution history. Also, there is a discussion under way to determine what the perfect compromise is: if your title is it, you'll be able to move the existing article there instead of creating a new one. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:46, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- I wrote the list so no it doesn't. But whatever. What's done is done. I understand the issue is disorganized and spans several talk pages so I can't expect anyone to be able to follow every talk page. I think if anything I need to push harder for a centralized discussion, because right now there really isnt one. Just random people stonewalling on random pages. If I dont people are just going to keep coming in and making a mess of things because they don’t know the whole story. PeRshGo (talk) 22:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out my reviewing debut, I think. I take it that means that the vandal's version (his last one at least) was never visible? Should I have been aware that I was reviewing? So far as I knew it was just another recent change that needed reverting with Huggle. Grafen (talk) 23:51, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
