You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:48, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

My political leanings
It's complicated. I'm a registered Liberal Democrat, but I'm supportive of the Liberal-Conservative coalition, as I find Labour to be out of touch with the public, and the Conservatives to be a more egalitarian party. I generally believe in the state to provide for its citizens—especially in that a citizen should have housing, healthcare, and sustenance at the very least—, but to not entangle in social matters, to keep a gentle but firm watch on private enterprise, and to only enter military conflict where necessary; i.e. I found Afghanistan to be legitimate, but Iraq to be not. And I find myself weakly pro-Israeli: that the conflict is six-of-one, half-a-dozen-of-the-other, but that Israel is disproportionately criticised for human rights violations; I mean, seriously, I find it inconceivable that Israel is more evil than China, Sudan, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran combined. Part of that last one stems from idiotic "communism is trendy" students at the university I attend; actually talking to real Palestinians on campus, I find more agreement with them from pro-Palestinian protesters.

Hi there. Thank you for your additions on George Macovescu page. I just created an article on Avram Bunaciu. If possible, could you please see if you find any sources in Romanian indicating exact date of his death? Thank you. Tuscumbia (talk) 20:34, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked for edit warring on Moldovans. In addition, you are now subject to an indefinite topic ban from WP:ARBMAC-related topics. This sanction has been recorded here

Anonimu/Complete Works (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
The above is a grossly misplaced block, and coming after a period of harassment by likely socks of a banned user comes as a "fuck off" from the Wikipedia community. Calling the editing pattern at Moldovans is gross misinterpretation of events, as every edit I made was reverted by a likely sock seemingly just for occasion to viciously bash me. This block is just enabling harassment, and sending me a message that I should take it quietly, just because three years ago I had a laxer interpretation of civility rules. See more about harassment and the likely, but undetectable by a simple RfCU, sock of a banned user at the ANI thread that seems to have bugged Toddst1 enough to issue a block
Decline reason:
It always takes two to make a revert war, and both sides are rather by definition being disruptive. I see nothing here indicating understanding that edit warring is unacceptable no matter who it is against or why. Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
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.
- It's still an edit war, especially when under 1RR. You should note that the other editor has been blocked for their actions as well. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- it's not clear to me but this user may be still subject to Arbcomm sanctions. See block log. Toddst1 (talk) 17:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, just read ARBMAC. It says "Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision." Since I received no warning (and I haven't edited Balkan topic for quite a while anyway), should I consider the "topic ban" just an error?Anonimu (talk)
- I don't say I'm the purest editor ever. But issuing a one month long ban over an prolonged revert pattern when one of the users (not me), used the summaries to aggravate the other is overkill. Also, you may want to search the EEML archive (aka Wikipediametric - it has leaked on some site) for my name, and see strategies a user who hasn't edited in the last 9 months suggested should be used to get me banned. This may give you a further insight in the matters.Anonimu (talk) 17:22, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- Your last edit to an ARBMAC topic was 16:51, 30 August 2010.
- I cannot verify that you were ever issued an ARBMAC warning, so per your point, I will strike that. That being said. I find it hard to believe that you were unaware of ARBMAC.
- However I will ask ARBCOMM if your latest fracas violates your parole. Toddst1 (talk) 19:53, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- it's not clear to me but this user may be still subject to Arbcomm sanctions. See block log. Toddst1 (talk) 17:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
OFFICIAL WP:ARBMAC WARNING
In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article/topic ban. Thank you.
