== Arbcom election == |
|||
It's been pointed out to me by one very senior editor, admin, sittng Arb, and very close friend in RL, that my answers to your questions may have been too short. I have therefore greatly expanded my answer to your first question and I expect the courstsy that you will read it. The second question however still leaves me deeply offended. One of the problems on Wikipedia for which I have been spearheading a campaign for years to get abolished, is the notion that elections are a free for all for people to make personal attacks with impunity. One of the days, comments like yours will not only cause me to withdraw from an election, but also to retire from Wikipedia completely.

Revision as of 05:20, 16 November 2015
Thank you
I've seen how much you hate paid editors, and continuously making an effort to stop them, I really grateful to have you here on English Wikipedia :D .--AldNonUcallin?☎ 15:43, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- @Aldnonymous: Thanks for noticing! It's always good to get positive feedback. I will correct you, however, I don't hate paid editors, rather it is paid editing that is hateful. It is tearing down a wonderful structure that has been built up by many volunteers, that provides good information to whoever has access to the internet. If that information is poisoned, and people can't trust us, then the whole structure may collapse.
- Your post reminded me of a news story from a couple of decades ago. After the fall of the Soviet Union people started cutting down and selling copper cable from high power electrical transmission systems (nominally still in use). I don't hate those folks who cut down the cable - they were doing what they had to do to survive. I did hate the fact that the transmission systems were being destroyed. It just seemed like there must be a pretty simple enforcement system that would stop the destruction. Everybody likely knew who was buying the cable - these folks could be stopped fairly simply if anybody took the obvious steps. Similarly, most people likely knew who was cutting the cable or where to look to stop folks from cutting more. So the system was messed up, but the parts of the system that led to the destruction of the cable could easily be fixed. The actual folks who cut the cable, in my mind, were less responsible than the authorities who couldn't be bothered to take a few minimal steps. That's my reading in any case.
- Thanks again.

Editor of the Week
Editor of the Week | ||
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for integrity and valiance in the fight against paid editing. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:Coretheapple submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- I nominate Smallbones as Editor of the Week for the integrity that he brings to the project, and for his yeoman work - unsung, unrecognized, unappreciated - fighting to preserve Wikipedia from encroachments by paid editors. He has been an editor for more than eight and a half years, and during that time has edited a staggering 11,337 articles at last count. He is not an administrator, heaven only knows why (too much sense?), but a content contributor par excellence, with in excess of 31,000 edits, 65% of them in article space. He is a generalist's generalist, with his top contributions ranging from Bernard Madoff to Media, Pennsylvania. But his prodigious talents as a contributor are not the only assets he brings to the project. No one has fought longer and more valiantly against paid editing. It is a great pleasure to nominate Smallbones for Editor of the Week.

Are you still interested in taking photos of Louis Kahn architecture? I see that his Fred E. and Elaine Cox Clever House in Cherry Hill, NJ is for sale. Here is the Zillow page: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/417-Sherry-Way-Cherry-Hill-NJ-08034/38226533_zpid/ Hopefully you would be able to gain access to the house for photos. Good luck!

Amendment request archived
Hi Smallbones, an arbitration amendment request you were listed as a party to has been archived to the Wifione case talk page. A motion was proposed but did not gain enough support among arbitrators. For the Arbitration Committee, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 01:19, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
You PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to consider AfD, though I would think "40% of the United States hard cider market, rising to 50% by 2014" is a reasonable claim of notability.

Pictures
At first I wondered why you'd use the horse sign in the township article, because it's not particularly representative, but now that I see that it has a farm and municipal building picture, I agree with it. It adds some local color and is mildly humorous. As far as the sign, I have just one idea: radioactive elements like technetium, rutherfordium, and dubnium are transition metals, and this church is apparently in the transition Metal Township between the mountains and the southeast...yes, yes, it's lame, but I can't think of any real explanation.

Curiosity
Hi Smallbones. I noticed your comments at Jimbotalk and was a little confused - I've racked my brains over recent cases but I can't think of a case where ArbCom have overruled the TOU on undisclosed paid editing (I rather hope we haven't, since I issue blocks for precisely that reason on a fairly regular basis). Please could you point me in the right direction? It may be that our interpretation of an ArbCom decison is different, in which case some clarification may be needed. Much obliged, Yunshui 雲水 11:51, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- Please see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Wifione#Paid_editing which says in part:
"6) The Committee has no mandate to sanction editors for paid editing as it is not prohibited by site policies. The arbitration policy prevents the Committee from creating new policy by fiat."
- which just seems silly to me. Having a policy on "undisclosed paid editing" (and it is definitely a policy, see WP:TOU) is definitely a (limited) policy on paid editing, but apparently ArbCom disagrees. Note that any policy we have on anything is "limited" in some way, if only by WP:IAR. I asked ArbCom to reconsider (see here) this dictum (it had no bearing on the case since Wifione did his undisclosed paid editing before the change in the TOU).
- The vote was 4 to 6 against removing the principle with the reasoning of the six being IMHO all over the place, ranging from (my reading) "this policy has to be reconfirmed by the community before it becomes policy" to "we could never enforce this policy, so just ignore it." Given the 4-6 split and the IMHO illogical reasoning of the six, I don't think that ArbCom will ever try to say this again, but they did say it once. Smallbones(smalltalk) 14:52, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Dog breed
I stumbled upon the page on Mongrels, and saw the picture of (what I can understand) your own dog. [3] It did peak my interest since it lacked any information on what type of mix it is; google seems rather futile in this particular case since plenty of time has gained naught. I do have to apologize in advance if making this edit in your talk page is not the way I was supposed to do it: new user. But, I just have to know since she(?) is an absolutely magnificent dog.

Recant your accusation of Paid editing immediately
You recently made an accusation of Paid editing on my Talk page, disguised as a polite question. ('May I ask if you are a car thief?' is an example of a polite question with obvious accusatory intent.) Not only does this exhibit a lack of good faith but constitutes a personal attack on me specifically, both of which are contrary to Wikipedia standards of civil behavior.
When I first saw your message on my talk page, I was so unprepared for its intent, that I completely mistook your meaning, and assumed you were making me an offer to do paid editing for you, and took you to task about it as a violation of WP guidelines. However, upon further examination of your recent contributions I learned the truth. You had made a minor edit at Vemma at 06:31 2 Oct 2015. Within the hour, you had made very similar entries (7:07 and 7:31) on the talk pages of two users who had previous edits there, namely, Mathglot (last Vemma edit: 2013), and Amsterdad, in both cases asking "politely"—to be sure—whether we engaged in paid editing. Had it been only a single entry on my Talk page, I could perhaps have imagined some kind of screw-up or mistake on your part, but given that you separately edited two User Talk pages and made similar accusations, I cannot see that it could have been a simple error on your part.
There can be no reason whatever for you to have made an accusation, or even to have posed a question to me however politely on this topic. You and I have never interacted before, to my knowledge. As you are an editor with autopatrolled status, ten years seniority and over 35,000 edits, you must know WP policies and guidelines far better than I do. I am utterly unable to account for your rash behavior.
I condemn your harassment and personal attack on my reputation as a Wikipedia editor in the strongest possible terms. I demand you recant and formally apologize to me on my Talk page immediately with a very clear statement of error on your part, or else be prepared to back up your accusation of Paid editing.
I cannot speak for @Amsterdad:, but I call their attention to this comment.
Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, Mathglot, for replying to this much more eloquently than I did. I see now there is no response. Amsterdad (talk) 15:11, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Second request to recant
This is a second request for you to recant and apologize.
Were I the subject of a WP biography, your barely-veiled implication about paid editing in the form of a polite question would have been rapidly reverted due to the policies covering biographies of living persons, in particular, contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced, as you offered no source or evidence whatever. I realize this policy doesn't cover editors, but I am nevertheless a living person, and I strenuously object.
Let's not make a big deal out of this—errare humanum est—just admit your mistake and apologize on my Talk page, and we can move on, no hard feelings. Just to be clear what you're apologizing for: I have no hurt feelings; my reputation as an editor has been damaged by an entry on my talk page implying that I may be a paid editor. You made that entry, so you are responsible for the (ongoing) damage. That's what you're recanting and apologizing for.
Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 00:29, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Nice pics. Coincidence? You know what they say, If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. That sounds like a good plan to me. :-) Mathglot (talk) 00:42, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

...but please take caution when editing in affect after a banned editor, like you did on MyWikiBiz.. After your attempt to revert the fix of that link, you chose to remove it. However, the reason you provided "the next ref covers it

Jimbo's talk
When last year did Jimbo tell me I was not to post on his talk page? As you should be aware, he often uses ambiguous language and doesn't ping people. For what should be obvious reasons, given my recent comment there, I don't watchlist his page. - Sitush (talk) 17:09, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Sitush: It was just before the 2014 Wikimania Conference. It may take me awhile, but if you'd like I can find the exact diff. Smallbones(smalltalk) 17:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Please do. I probably won't be around much as I am not very well but I'll check back in a day or two. Until then, please let me comment stand. Jimbo can remove it if he wishes. - Sitush (talk) 17:27, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Looking at this, I'm uncertain if "Please go away then" was a request by Jimbo to not post at that page or just a suggestion to stay off the page if Sitush didn't want to see the drama in it. You should ask for clarification in case he meant the latter interpretation. 69.5.131.1 (talk) 17:36, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- Sorry, if looks like you are arguing just to argue. When that's the case I ask folks to stay off my talk page. Feel free to stop back here in a few months. Smallbones(smalltalk) 23:29, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Please take the issue to the appropriate noticeboard if you wish to contest but I note you've removed apprx 3 times thus far readding will put u over 3rr.

- Smallbones, please can you tell me what your role is on Jimbo's talk page? I think you may see yourself as something a little more than the rest of us do. I take issue to you constantly removing other people's comments and acting like you are some sort of appointed censor. You're not. CassiantoTalk 12:06, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Further to that, I have just seen Hell in a Bucket's link below. I trust that it won't be long before you are shooed away like the proverbial pest you are coming across as. CassiantoTalk 12:13, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Advice
Can you take a look at Palace Theatre (Marion, Ohio)? I originally went there to fix an issue with the NRHP infobox (based on the articles with infobox problems tracking category) then fixed some other issues. The article looked pretty good, so I started to look at it to clean it up for GA. In doing so I saw some overlaps with the text and the much referenced Hoffman book (and, d'oh, its pretty obvious now), it turns out the author of the article was the author of the book. I saw it had some COI issues, and maybe even a user name issue with the "Atmospheric theatre" user name and http://www.atmospherictheater.com/, and then, well, see my final comments on the talk page. Since I've put in some work on the article, and made some recommendations as to how to proceed with the original writer, I'm too close to it now to be objective as to how much cutting must be done. Can you give some advice on what to do next? Thanks. Generic1139 (talk) 04:18, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Regarding your recent edits to Jimbo's talk page

There are quite a few things about which we might disagree, but if Jimbo himself thanks you for helping keep his user talk page clean, as he did here, I think you have earned this. John Carter (talk) 16:37, 31 October 2015 (UTC) |

Re: Punishment
- Neelix made some awful mistakes, he's been punished.
Many people, including myself, strongly disagree. There has been no punishments. Neelix is still free to edit Wikipedia, which is indicative of a lack of punishment. Removing his admin rights and ability to create redirects is not a punishment of any kind. Viriditas (talk) 02:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sorry you feel that way. Please consider his standing in the community - he's been shamed - that his real name is well known, and that there have been multiple articles written about him in real newspapers saying what a great Wikipedian he is. This must be a terrible blow to him - of course we can say "it's all his fault". I don't think that dragging his name through more mud will do any good. I don't know him or have any stake in this, but I think we can leave it here. If he comes out defiant and starts attacking others for his problems, that would be another matter, but I don't think that's going to happen. Let me offer a quote that you likely will remember "In this world, hatred has never been defeated by hatred. Only love can overcome hatred. This is an ancient and eternal law." I just think that there has been enough done in this case. Sorry that we disagree. Smallbones(smalltalk) 03:37, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- From the above, I take it you don't understand love at all. To quote Billie Holiday:
- You don't know what love is
- Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
- Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
- You don't know what love is
- Love is a many-splendored thing. Removing Neelix's right to edit Wikipedia is neither hatred nor anti-love. I don't know Neelix's real name, and I don't care to know it. All I know is the damage he has done to this site, a site I love enough to want to protect. I'm sorry you disagree. Neelix has no right to edit here, and for the community to allow it tells me that the bias towards admins and editors with advanced permissions is so bad that the only way to solve it is to work tirelessly against it until all editors are treated with fairness and impartiality. Any non-admin in Neelix's place would not be allowed to edit. Viriditas (talk) 03:52, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Arbcom election
It's been pointed out to me by one very senior editor, admin, sittng Arb, and very close friend in RL, that my answers to your questions may have been too short. I have therefore greatly expanded my answer to your first question and I expect the courstsy that you will read it. The second question however still leaves me deeply offended. One of the problems on Wikipedia for which I have been spearheading a campaign for years to get abolished, is the notion that elections are a free for all for people to make personal attacks with impunity. One of the days, comments like yours will not only cause me to withdraw from an election, but also to retire from Wikipedia completely. Regards, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:20, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
