Hi, |

I'd appreciate your comments on how best to deal with the attempts of [[User talk:Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007|User:Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007]] to persistently override the views of other editors who see nothing wrong with including the results of [[Republican Sinn Féin]] in the list of results of the [[Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007]]. |

In addition, I believe [[User talk:Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007|User:Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007]] is a sockpuppet of [[User:Weggie]] ([[User_talk:Damac#Sockpuppet_of_Weggie|evidence here]]. |

JADE GOODY
Dear Sam
Whilst I realise that you have to monitor changes that are made to Wikipedia, can I please ask exactly why my recent changes to the JADE GOODY page were removed. As far as I am aware, Wikipedia is there to provide factual information to the user community, and in my view, the information I entered into that particular page was indeed factual & informative.
I apologise if my addition was deemed offensive, however the JADE GOODY information as it stood did not provide a true picture of the individual concerned.
I am not a "vandal", I am a right minded person who speaks their mind when I see fit.
Kind Regards

Surviving MPs
Out of interst is there any source for the order in which Foot, Freeman & Renton and later Carr, Deedes & Harris took the oath in? The earliest surviving former MP is occassionally called the "Grandfather of the House" and I'd guess the order of taking the oath would settle between claimaints elected at the same time, as it does for the Father of the House. Timrollpickering 15:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Naturally there is a source - the Hansards for the beginning of the 1945 Parliament. I hadn't heard of the "Grandfather of the House" before but I might be able to check the order tomorrow. Sam Blacketer 16:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Barnstar
Thanks very much Sam!!! It's really nice to get one of these and I'm very grateful. You may have noticed my contributions have become scarcer recently, partly because I've been busy and I'm slowly working on a list of all living former British MPs (in fact I'm not even sure Wikipedia would accept such an article). Incidentally, I've not heard Grandfather of the House either but, I believe the the oldest former MP (rather than the time he was first elected) is Bert Hazell, who is just one month away from his 100th birthday.

Hey,
As much as you might hate vandalism, if you have ever seen or heard Jade Goody then you will understand why her page gets continually vandalised and moreover the vandalism is thoroughly warranted as it reflects the utter hatred for this putrid woman amongst the general public. So it totally bewilders me why anyone in their right mind would want to protect this woman’s page, she deserves everything that comes to her.

If you dont know who Jade Goody is i suggest you read her article on wikipedia, in short she is arguably the most hated woman in the UK at the moment. I suggest you think twice before defending her page in the future.

Hi Sam, I actually think Vernon Bogdanor and Michael Green are quite well known figures in their field and many members of the British public may be aware of them. Tim Rathbone was also a noted anti apartheid activist and pro european. It's surprising that Michael Green doesn't have an article at all- I'll try and start one some time this week. I think also that a reference is needed for the statement at the end of the intro:
"after presenting himself as a young and moderate candidate who would appeal to young voters. His leadership has seen the Conservative party establish a clear lead in opinion polls." Forbear 21:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Assuming good faith
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/25px-Information.svg.png)
Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Thank you. ~ UBeR 22:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- An assumption is something which should be dropped when circumstances indicate the contrary. I'm sorry if you were offended but reporting a long-established user who had not edited the page in question for over 12 hours is definitely a bad faith report. Sam Blacketer 22:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sam, Please stop with the fallacious argumentum ad verecundiam (appealing to authority); it makes my eyes bleed. Plus it's contrary to what Wikipedia policy tells us to do. Don't look at the editor, look at the edits. It's naive to think administrators, regardless of their tenure, cannot possibly break a rule or are exempt from the same rules that apply to other users. His actions of erroneously removing a bona fide template is vandalism. I've discussed it on the article talk page and warned William, but he ignores it. If this isn't vandalism, Sam, I don't know what it. My report was in good faith, so please assume so. You ought to know better. ~ UBeR 23:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- It was the edits I looked at. WP:AIV is for urgent action for vandalism that is going on now. William M. Connolley last edited the page you reported him over a full 13 hours 36 minutes before you made the report. Your report was in clear bad faith. In any case I have now looked at the article and I do not regard his edits as vandalism at all. It looks like a straightforward dispute over a template addition. It would only be vandalism if William was not making a good faith attempt to improve the encyclopaedia, and there is no reason to cast doubt on his intentions in this matter. Sam Blacketer 23:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, you aren't looking at his authority, despite your appeals to his tenure ("a long-established user"). As for the time gap, I am not available on Wikipedia 24 hours a day, even if I wish I could be. I inserted the bona fide template. After leaving, he reverted, and I did not come back for quite some time. I mean, just look at what Wikipedia has wrote. Ignore, if you must, what I'm writing and just look at the rules: "Do not remove [templates] unless you are sure that all stated reasons for the dispute are settled. As a general rule, do not remove other people's dispute tags twice during a 24 hour period." I don't think it gets any clearer! Given his edit warring behavior and past misbehavior in other articles, I think it is reasonable to consider his actions as vandalism and reoccurring, making it necessary for action to be taken against his behavior. ~ UBeR 23:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- A "general rule" is not an "absolute one". The article History of the Yosemite area does cite sources both generally and inline, which makes a template asserting it to be unreferenced, prima facie unwarranted. In such circumstances I would have struggle to regard the addition of the template to be a good faith addition to the encyclopaedia. Sorry that I am not going to see eye to eye with you on this one, but I am now going to bed. Sam Blacketer 23:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- What template do you suggest then, for articles that are made up primarily of unattributable statements? WP:ATT clearly suggests the {{unreferenced}}, precisely what I have done. ~ 23:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- Because the page you chose was User:Jimbo Wales, because the tags you added were seriously disruptive, and because they demonstrate a knowledge of the working of Wikipedia which is clearly beyond that of a very new user. There is no requirement for you actually to have three incidents of vandalism before you get the third level warning. Indeed I was considering giving you a "once and final warning".

Natascha Engel again
Note: I'm refactoring this to make it less confusing. Sam Blacketer 15:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- wonder why it is that whenever you respond, at least half of your response seems to be taken up with utter irrelevancies.
Perhaps it's because I have to spend half my time pointing out mistakes that *you* are making ... which then, when pointed out, naturally, fall into your 'utter irrelevancies' (rather like the hypothetical on Engel's war stance) category. Which is no suprize to me at all.
- I cannot go to the library and request them to check that what they say is what you report them as saying.
Look, let me put it simply. When I was wondering about how to put the relevant correspondence into the public domain, I had a trawl around Wikipedia to see if there was some sort of on-line facility, (some sort of certification procedure) where documents could be uploaded to. I saw something of the sort but wasn't sure how to use it or indeed, if it was the appropriate facility. viz. My turning up at the Pump and asking for advice. Only Night Gyr suggested an immediate practical way forward. You, Block and Gallowglass (the other respondents) went off on your objectivity/subjectivity binge.
So, I'll ask you a direct questions: Are there upload/certification procedures? What about Night Gyr's suggestion?
- While you may feel that the connection between Gordon Brown and Natascha Engel is "unwarranted", we know newspaper sources which take a different view.
I'm aware of Engel being a Brownian and the newspaper article which *I* made reference to. I'm talking about the first of your POV mistakes:
- 13:26, 8 February 2007 Sam Blacketer (Talk | contribs) (I'm reverting back to my version, but changing the opening sentence. Dsmith is right that she has not been mentioned as future minister)
- ...the general approach that biographical articles describing the history of notable people normally stay in the *past* tense.
Oh, yeah? From Natascha Engel[emphases added]:
- Natascha Engel (born April 9, 1967) *is* a British politician.
- ...she *speaks* German, Spanish, and Portugese. She *is* married to David Salisbury Jones, a veterinary surgeon who fought Uxbridge in the 2001 General Election for the Labour Party. They *have* two sons.
- She *is* a supporter of electoral reform[citation needed].
It's on stuff like this, when you come over all absolute, like the business of 'candidacy' that your position falls apart, and when it gets pointed out to you, it is swiftly moved over into your 'irrelevant' class, while it is, in fact, perfectly reasonable to draw attention to it.
- To connect Engel's support for electoral reform (if it can be included) with her dissidence would first need to establish that the vote would be whipped, which is speculative, and that the Labour whip would be to oppose.
Quite. Which is why, once again, I go back to my original question about uploads etc. Anyway, I may just drop the Q/A set into a discussion entry (since I have been given permission to freely distribute) and you can make of the whole business what you will. Frankly, my dear Sam, I no longer give a damn (with apologies to Margaret Mitchell). Dsmith1usa 15:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Tense and Aspect (Natascha Engel)
- These 'mistakes' which you claim I am making are really nothing of the sort. They are your misunderstandings which you don't seem inclined to want to think about in any other than a very simplistic way.
Yes, I do try to keep things simple, especially with folks like you, Sam, but if you insist ... say ten times, Sam, 'I must understand the difference between tense and ASPECT:'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_aspect#Aspect_vs._tense
- Your examples of present tense usage from the article are all ongoing situations: Engel's political career is ongoing, she can still speak foreign languages, her marriage is continuing etc. Her inclusion on a list is something that happened at a set point in the past. Sam Blacketer 15:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, and being 'on the list' is an 'ongoing' situation unless you can show me a counterexample. Otherwise you are engaging in 'default reasoning' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-monotonic_logic#Default_reasoning) which, put in 'simple' terms, can be highly subjective. Understanding aspect helps. You don't appear to or are unwilling to recognize that is precisely what you are groping towards in the previous paragraph.
As far as the other matter is concerned, I've put Engel's Q/A series in the discussion are. Some indicator of the gap the likes of you must bridge between an article written down to mediocrity and the truth:
And this is where we say goodbye. As I said to Block as he trotted-off with his pet goat, 'Don't waste the keystrokes and be gentle with yourself.) I will definitely not be back this way, apart from I'll probably post the photograph of Engel.
Vale — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsmith1usa (talk • contribs)
Bye bye (Vale being beyond you, it seems)
Breaking my pledge, for the last time, Sam, do you enjoy being obtuse? You write:
- Being placed on a list is something that happened at a set point in the past,...
Right, we're with you so far. May we offer, in response, (say)getting married and being issued with a wedding certificate happens at a 'set point in the past.'
- ...unless it was the case that the list was continually updated.
Mmmnnn ... now I think you're losing us, Sam. If the list, as you posit, is being continually updated, then the updates, surely, are happening at a 'set point in the past?'
- In this case, there is no indication that this was the case.
Well, I think most are all at sea right now, but I'll chuck a lifebelt. I presume you mean that there is no indication that Murdoch's list was being updated? Are you trying to say that the existence and applicability of a document is dependent on some sense of being 'continually updated?' Is the Magna Carta, say, no longer applicable (I'll hurry to add, btw. US lawyers have made appeal to Magna Carta - in the limit - on the issue of detention without trial particularly wrt Guantanamo Bay).
So, in your world, Sam, what does a married couple do to extend 'set point in the past' of their signing their certificate and the sense it carries itself forward. How is *this* document continually updated? I posit, 'By it's mere *existence*.'
None of your arguments withstand serious scrutiny, Sam. I'm sorry.
Again I encourage you to study 'aspect' and 'default reasoning.'
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_aspect#Aspect_vs._tense
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-monotonic_logic#Default_reasoning
As to the other matter:
- All of the above is original research and has not been published; it is therefore not verifiable. I'm afraid I do not see how it can be used in writing the article. Sam Blacketer 13:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
And what did I write?
- This question and answer series is reproduced with Engel's written permission to distribute. In the absence, apparently, of any means to render this material, through any Wikipedia machinery, citable and free of conflict of interest from contributors, me, Dsmith1usa 11:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC), particularly, it can serve, at least, as comparator for 'verifiable' references that may be brought in to resolve 'citations needed.'
So why, Sam, do you have to repeat what has already been said? Yet it still stands as a reminder of the bridges that you've got to find ways over, from Engel to your representation of her.
I offered collaboration, and you well know it. You took the path, in your 'Wiki Wisdom' of confrontation. You write:
- Meanwhile, please read and understand the no personal attacks policy as you are breaking it.
I don't believe I am at all. I don't attack *you* personally. But I will not stand by and be force fed some of the nonsense you come out with. You've been around Wiki too long, I suspect. We must all live with the consequences of our actions. You're probably a really good guy. Personally, I don't care. I'm criticizing your ideas and the arguments you advance - not you PERSONALLY. If you choose to identify yourself, so strongly, with a certain fixed understanding, then you're a menace to Wikipedia and, probably, to yourself.
Now, at the risk of being turned-off Wikipedia (even though I would like to post a nice [publicly available picture - it's mine] of Engel), Sam ... please GO AWAY and bother other people with fairy stories about 'candidacy,' 'tense' and your misrepresentations of hypotheticals. For all of the 'Did you know's' I see you accumulating, I smell a distinct whiff of charlatanism.

Response to censorship
Why did you censor out of here ? Anyway, you write:
- Wary as I am to intrude, firstly I should say that you have been editing since October 2006, and I since December 2006, so it is slightly odd that you should claim the protection due to a new editor.
Did you read the small print? I was engaging in what we called, years ago, 'netiquette.' To try to be polite. Ask advice in a new development. With respect to you, Sam, I think the old-time flamethrowers on Net newsgroups would long since been fired-up.
- I will identify some personal attacks from you: "do you enjoy being obtuse?",
Well, once again, verbs with tense and aspect don't cut it, do they? I'm *not* saying that's in *your being*. I'm talking about how you ACT. Now."
On this one , Sam, see above. After the fact you tried to make it up. Indeed, I want no more controversy with you. Live in whatever beliefs you want to have. If you want to believe politicos on 'gentelmen's' agreements on candidacy - feel free. I don't care. So, again: please GO AWAY and bother other people with fairy stories.
That's why I said, "I smell a distinct whiff of charlatanism". Not calling you a charlatan, but merely what I see.
Post-justification on any (in this world) hypothesis on the things that folks hold themselves together with, yet can call no empricism in its support is degenerate (btw. I'm NOT calling *you* degenerate -get it).
- I do not believe that you can identify any edits from me that comment on you as a person. Sam Blacketer 11:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, heavens, I did it a lot earlier, Sam. Double standards, see ...
Sam, I'm gone ... I think, regardless of all, you're OK (probably). Take care.

Many thanks.--Damac 14:03, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
