== Hello Josh ==

Hello Josh, 

Please stop harassing me and do not protect my talkpage. If I had not mentioned you in that conversation, or your friend Ryulong (or rather your friend''ship''), then you would never have done such a thing. Remember, you were the one who started it this time, by using your protection tool, and this is not harassment to tell you that this is abuse of the protection tool. Don't pick on me because I am not armed with a friend like you to stick up for me when someone criticizes me.

== Unreasonable Removal of Link ==

Dear Jpgordon:

On 9 April, I was looking at the Wikipedia page on [[The Uncounted Enemy]], a 1982 CBS documentary.  I knew where the complete transcript of the documentary was available online, on a web page at Texas Tech University, so I added a link to that web page.  On 26 April you deleted that link.  Could you please explain why?  Were you somehow under the impression that the web page at Texas Tech was mine, and that my linking to it was in violation of Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policies?

*I have just removed my bibliography link from [[Gulf of Tonkin Incident]].  If you check on this, please refrain from removing the link I put there to an NSA web page (not my own), or the references to the book I wrote on the incident (I was not the one who put those references in the article).

== Errol Sawyer Article ==

Dear Josh, [[Hoary]] suggested I contacted you as we have a dispute about the notability of the photographer [[Errol Sawyer]]. You seem to have a good taste in collecting photographs. On top of that Errol and your cousin have something in common: they are both photographed by Diane Arbus. This fact amongst others was already taken out of Errol's article as some editors seem to be determined that Errol Sawyer is not notable. I would really appreciate your honest opinion and if possible help.[[User:1027E|1027E]] ([[User talk:1027E|talk]]) 14:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
*I'm not particularly inclined to jump into a discussion where accusations of racism are being freely and improperly flung about.

Don't you feel that you can better the situation? As an European I am sincerely amazed by the way Americans treat their African American inheritance. The Schomburg Library of Culture does not even have the money to digitize their archives. I edited racism out for you.[[User:1027E|1027E]] ([[User talk:1027E|talk]]) 06:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
*Since you're the one inserting the accusations of racism in the first place - and continuing it here -- I really don't know what I can do to better the tone there. Further, we tend to look askance at people promoting material about their own family members; it makes it hard, if not impossible, to maintain Wikipedia's required [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. I don't get to write about my brother, who is a quite well known musician in his own not very well known niche, regardless of how much or why I think he's being neglected. Mr. Sawyer's family does not get to write about Mr. Sawyer. So: we can look at Wikipedia's threshold of notability for artists and photographers and see if he reaches this threshold, and that's what people have been doing on the article talk page. The photography history project might be helpful, as you have noted. But until you tone down the rhetoric, you're just making everyone else unnecessarily angry at you. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710;]]</small></sup> 15:16, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Dear Josh, I am only trying to do the right thing and I am sorry that you feel personally offended by just mentioning the facts. Yes, I have asked for assistance already in the Wiki project of History of Photography. The amazing thing is that a lot of photographers in this project have references that are less accurate than the one of Errol Sawyer. Errol Sawyer is according [[DGG]] reaching the demands of notability. He has his work in important museum collections and important collectors have bought his work. There is an important article written about him in the most prestigious Dutch Photography Magazine: PF Magazine. On top of that he was the only African- American photographer who worked on top level in Paris in the 70s and he is the only African-American photographer in Amsterdam on top level. But the editors I am dealing want all the references digitally accessible within a split second. So they cannot find PF Magazine as their server is slow and they don't accept the reference of Schomburg Library of Black Culture as their archives are not digitized yet. As an architect/ building engineer who is also writing a thesis, I find this hilarious but what can I do? I ask help of older editors like you. There has also been a problem with an editor who would not accept that Errol sawyer discovered Christie Brinkley as a model in April, 1973. He, [[Mbineri]], kept taking this out of her article and did not want to accept the reference of the book of Michael Gross. Now it is in finally. He also takes away all the time African in front of American before Errol Sawyer 's name. (Obama calls himself an African-American too). Now he is slaughtering Errol Sawyer's article again and he did put all the tags which is not reasonable at all. As you have collected pictures of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, I thought that you are a man with integrity. By the way, I come from a musical family too. My grandfather was a 1st violinist in the Bach Vereniging in Amsterdam. My sister has 3 children of a very known Dutch Musician. Her children all make music too, singing, guitar, bass guitar, violin and piano. I have a harpsichord myself and our 4 year old son just said that he wants to play violin together with mama. As we live in a 300 years old mainly wooden house in the center of Amsterdam the acoustics are very sensitive, to say the least, so piano is too much noise. Well. I took a lot of your time. In Holland we speak very freely about political problems and maybe we differ in that way.[[User:1027E|1027E]] ([[User talk:1027E|talk]]) 23:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:What in heaven's name could my fondness for photography collecting have anything to do with integrity one way or another? Collectors are people like anyone else; some are saints, some devils, and the vast majority lie somewhere in between. The issues with sources have to do with a primary rule at Wikipedia; all of our material has to be [[WP:V|verifiable]]. Everyone reading the article has to be able to go to the source and see for themselves that the material being presented in Wikipedia is correctly representing what the sources put forward. There's nothing at all special regarding Mr. Sawyer in this regard; an article about me (should someone care to write one) would suffer the same constraints. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710;]]</small></sup> 03:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Fahrenheit92 unblock decline ==

Yeah, it was, but consider that it was his fourth request in a very short time basically making the same argument as his other requests in the face of what two people said was very solid evidence.

And next time I'll remember to stick up for you :-).

I was sort of inspired by a passage in ''[[The Gulag Archipelago]]'' where someone who had just been charged with a crime that, he pointed out to the court, he would have committed at the age of five or so, was told "don't slander the Soviet intelligence services!"

(As an aside, maybe we should make up a special unblock template for users blocked due to Checkuser?

HI JP, I noticed you blocked Nocal100 for violating the ARBCOM "ruling". I was curios how you came about suspecting that user was a sock.

:::I actually don't see any sockpuppet behavior, let alone anything "obvious".

The source (Ambinder) used "diffuse" when what was probably meant was "defuse".  A reader encountering the quotation with "diffuse" in our article might logically wonder whether the error was Ambinder's or whether a Wikipedian transcribed the quotation incorrectly.  The "''sic''" there is useful to answer that reader's question without putting him or her to the necessity of clicking through to the source.  I agree with you that we shouldn't use "sneer quotes" but the purpose here isn't to make fun of the source.

:It's still not our job to correct the sources we use. "Sic" really does look like a sneer: "look how stupid the speaker is". Also: "probably meant defuse" -- according to whom?

::I absolutely agree about not correcting our sources.  That's one reason to use the "''sic''" -- there's a danger that, without it, some Wikignome will come along and change the spelling.  As for common sense, we generally don't use it to support factual assertions in articles but we do use it in making the numerous editorial judgments that arise.

****It looks a little neater at the end, but I think the benefit of knowing exactly what's being sicced outweighs that.

== sorry to bother u again ==

i'm the guy u answer my music question the other day
and this is ur answer below:
It means you shouldn't notate rests as tied or continued over beats. So, for example, in 4/4, if your bar starts with a dotted quarter note, then a full beat of rest, then another dotted quarter note, you're expected to notate the rest as two eighth rests, rather than a single quarter rest

thax!but i still have problem with it because i'm from Taiwan so my English isn't that good.....
so ,for example, "rests as tied or continued over beats" can u explain all more plainly??
and i can't really understand your example= =  by the way,i know that quarter means crotchet,but what does full beat means?
does it last 1 beat or 4 in 4/4?? sorry to cause u so much problem...
this matter let me know that although music can be played everywhere,but language is still the barier...[[User:Vincecarter159753|Vincecarter159753]] ([[User talk:Vincecarter159753|talk]]) 13:21, 6 August 2009 (UTC)vincecarter159753
:Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to talk about crotchets and quavers or quarter and eighth notes. And I'm not surprised I was unclear about whole beats. By "full beat" indeed I mean a crotchet in 4/4. I'd say "full measure" for 4 beats in 4/4. My browser doesn't know how to do musical notes (or if it does, I don't), so I need to make up a couple symbols here. Let's say X is a crotchet, X. is a dotted crotchet, Y is a crotchet rest, and Z is a quaver rest. This means you can't write a measure of   | X. Y X. | even though it does add up to four beats; rather, you're expected to write the measure as | X. Z  Z  X. | -- does this make any sense? (By the way, are you studying music using Mícheál Houlahan's "From Sound to Symbol"?

== I need some admin help ==

I know that [[WP:Flag]] policy says if there is an flag in the infobox of a sportsperson it should only BE flags of the country the person represented internationally and if someone hasn't played international they get the country they played in or the country they have expressed loyalty to. You see if you look at most [[WikiProject Ice Hockey]] articles this is not the case for most articles. So before I new about WP:Flag policy I assumed that it was if you are allowed to represent a country then you get that flag. So I put a Canadian flag on [[Alexei Ponikarovsky]] (He's canadian but hasn't represented team Canada just Team Ukraine) page and got referred to WP:Flag policy. So then I took off a [[Ukraine]] flag on [[Nikolai Zherdev]] because he has only represented Russia and has never represented Ukraine. Weirdly enough the same user that stopped from taking off a flag on Alexei stopped me taking one off on Nikolai. So there seems to be a weird double standard with the people a part of [[[WikiProject Ice Hockey]] and to make things worse they do not comply with wikipedia policy. I have no clue what to do because what [[WikiProject Ice Hockey]] is doing is contradiictary to wikipedia policy, but they also seem have a double standard that most of them all agree with. I would think they couldn't change wikipedia policy in their one corner and would have to take it up with administers, but that is not what they have done.

::I got told by someone on my talk page that about WP:Flag policy then when I changed Zhedev's flag (since he's never played for team Ukraine) it kept getting reverted.

As you can see none of them agree with each other which produces this double standard, which only depends on the man editor of the articles choice. There was a proposal to change the name to International Representation ([[Template_talk:Infobox_Ice_Hockey_Player#Remove_flagicons.3F|link here]]) which would make the WP:Flag policy more clear, but that was months ago.

Hi there; this user has apparently been caught up in a checkuser block applied by you to IP 194.176.105.40. He is asking for IP exemption. He has only a sparse editing history, but it does reach back to 2007, so may well be ok.

== September 11 Attacks ==

Thank you for your comment on my contribution to the September 11 Attacks article. I'm a senior lecturer at a university in the UK. I include a lecture on 9/11 as part of a philosophy course I lead to illustrate the contested and constructed nature of knowledge and truth. I am well aware of the key issues raised by 9/11, and the contested nature of 'truth' on this subject. The current article does not provide balanced coverage of key claims about 9/11. It is the lack of awareness about the contested nature of events on September 11 that makes the current article weak. Many citations in the current article are based on press reports (these are poor quality when compared to peer-reviewed journal articles). My new contributions to the article are based on peer-reviewed journal articles and there cannot, therefore, be any justifiable reason for omitting them from the main article.

The current set of changes, therefore, counter bias in the article and ensure that overall it is written from a neutral point of view. I have not removed any existing material to ensure that existing views remain (I'm not censoring others points of view, even though the press sources used are of low credibility). I've added well-documented perspectives, supported by the work of relevant academics, that challenge some of the claims currently made. This should not be censored. The only neutral course of action in these circumstances is to report the contested nature of claims on this subject.

I assert strongly that there is no 'bias' in reporting that there are court cases and journal articles that question the version of truth presented in the current article. These are matters of fact, not opinion, and it distorts understanding to omit this fact from the article and give the impression that the statements are uncontested. No judgement is made on the which version of the truth is more 'true' - the edits simply make people aware that the events described are contested by credible contributions to the debate about September 11.

I notice that many articles on Wikipedia are flagged for "bias". If there is a further attempt to reverse my contributions, I would like to flag the article for "bias" so other contributors can ensure it is more balanced.

Best wishes

I'm bringing this up here so as not to embarass you.  You can erase this after reading it.

I've read POINT.  It says in bold "State your point; do not prove it experimentally"

I never said those other examples should be kept or deleted.  Nothing was trying to be proved.

I merely started a discussion about consistency and if these were related. 

You may or may not intend this, but when you write things, you come off as very aggressive.  If your job involves writing, please reconsider this.  This is to help you personally.  Again, after reading this, you may remove it.  If your job involves face to face contact, then maybe aggressive writing is not a problem because most of your work is verbal.

One of these days you might actually be called upon to use human reason to defend your behavior.

You unblocked this user, but he was not exactly blocked for uncivility. He was blocked before that under another IP account for edit warring and sock puppeting.

It has occurred to me that the reason why [[:Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Camponhoyle|Camponhoyle and his socks]] were quiet from July until now was school holidays: with the new term, suddenly several more appeared and were blocked yesterday, and today there are two more already, {{user1|TheTraitor}} and {{user1|Servanthoyle3}}. Did your checkuser by any chance identify a school IP as the origin of these socks? If so, a schoolblock including account-creation blocking might save a good deal of trouble. Regards, [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 19:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
*They keep coming, but an [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Camponhoyle/Archive|SPI case]] has been closed with the comment: "''No real chance at a range block''", so it seesm my idea won't fly. [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 13:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
== [[User:Thinkprofits]] ==

Thanks for the note I read on this user's talk page.  I had been part of assessing this user's articles (and my opinions of their utility were unfavourable as you can see from the associated AfD to which I contributed).  However, even though they made a very poor start, I actually thought they were trying to contribute usefully; perhaps, as sometimes happens, I was too naive.  I'm also very inexperienced with blocking/unblocking, so I was trying to identify if indeed this username had been blocked before I went further.  Anyway, I do respect your judgment about the spam links; I'll help the user if they request it of me, but I'm not going to make it possible for them to spam.  If you have any questions or problems, I'm at your service.  [[User:Accounting4Taste|Accounting4Taste]]:<small>[[User talk:Accounting4Taste|talk]]</small> 20:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

About your blocks of [[User:Sandra.henred]] and [[User:JME8205]]... I agree they weren't doing the encyclopedia any good (and in fact, I blocked several sockpuppets of one of their friends), but at the same time, neither of them seem to have edited in several days, or to have done any Myspacing since I warned them, so is a block necessary? (That being said, if they're gone anyway then it doesn't make much difference; I just don't want to encourage them to become trolls, like one of their friends briefly did.) <b class="Unicode">[[User:Rjanag|r<span style="color:#8B0000;">ʨ</span>anaɢ]]</b>&nbsp;<small><sup>[[User talk:Rjanag|talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Rjanag|contribs]]</sub></small> 18:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== [[New World Order (conspiracy theory)]] ==

I'm extremely cautious these days regarding Reversion of pages. Here's an article that's been reverted against my work. The editor admitted (I think) not knowing anything about the [[Protocols of Zion]], yet Reverted my work without discussion. There is no one who objected to my work on this article. I only have a difference over Content with this one editor. I would appreciate it very much if you looked into the matter. Any guidance you give me on how to handle the situation - will carry great weight with me. --[[User:Ludvikus|Ludvikus]] ([[User talk:Ludvikus|talk]]) 01:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

== [[Protocols of the Elders of Zion]] ==

I'm contacting you now because you're and Administrator and knowledgeable about the above. The above is now the <nowiki>{{Main}}</nowiki> article in relation to [[The Beckwith Company]] which published the second American edition, in book form, of "[[The Protocols]]" under the title "[[Praemonitus Praemunitus]]." Now I suspect that a possible <nowiki>{{WP:Troll}}</nowiki> appeared on the scene because I commenced an "ANI" against him previously which I subsequently dropped. I do not know how to handle the situation. He may just be uninformed. But he also appears, by the versions he re-writes, to wish to promote his POV that The Protocols are true. I've tried to tell him that he must be guide by the "Main" article. But I'm not sure he understands me. How do I handle that bpredicament? --[[User:Ludvikus|Ludvikus]] ([[User talk:Ludvikus|talk]]) 21:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

== Constant vandalism and disruption ==

I don't understand why you admins turn blind to {{User|Tajik}} when he goes around use sockpuppets in your faces and vandalize pages after pages. Is Wikipedia some type of gang related website? [[User:Tajik]] is removing sourced material from articles, this is vandalism and you admins allow it. He uses the excuse "falsification and POVs" but it's really him doing those if you concentrate on his edits. These are only few examples: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan&diff=prev&oldid=323586287], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Damghan&diff=prev&oldid=323790305], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hazara_people&diff=prev&oldid=323732567], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gh%C5%8Dr_Province&action=historysubmit&diff=323562778&oldid=319275206], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Afghan_(name)&diff=prev&oldid=323388984] He and {{User|Inuit18}} (sockpuppet of [[User:Anoshirawan|Anoshirawan]]) pops up as a tag-team and usually at the same time, I believe that account is shared by him and someone in USA who's English is not so great. It's so strange that he comes everyday but only edit very little, so it's very likely that he's using sockpuppets to evade his 1 RR restriction. Tajik pretends that he is against POVs but it's he that is a POV pusher.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAfghan_%28name%29&action=historysubmit&diff=298663050&oldid=298633801 ''"The author - in this case al-Biruni - is referring to the Suleiman Mountains. In that case, it is '''''highly probable'' that he was referring to Pashtuns''', because he had described them as a "Hindu people" before.]... Tajik (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)". It's very clear for readers here that Tajik hates [[Pashtuns]] with great passion so he wants to give them a new history which would make them being Hindus when all the scholars, history books, encyclopedias, and the Pashtuns themselves, disagree. There is "zero traces" of any Hindu culture among the Pashtuns. Anyway, Tajik was blocked 17 times and banned for a whole year but he doesn't seem to care about any of that, he just wants to remove things from articles that he doesn't agree with or doesn't like. This is a serious problem and you guys should put an end to it. I also believe {{User|Muxlim}} is him.

Hi, just thought I'd apologize for being deceptive in my attempts to post new info about the Hoffa case.  If at all possible, could you have a look at the information and see if you and Tedder and HU12 can come to some kind of understanding with me about the revelence that the information has to the public.  I do not seek links to my website or any third party sites like amazon.com and only want to share the information I have uncovered.  The links to the outside media sources would be beneficial to folks who are looking to conduct research on the subject of the Hoffa disappearance.

== Administrative Help request ==

Hello, would you be kind enough to address the abuse I've been getting by User Jusdafax on the Karl Rove talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Karl_Rove]?  (Scroll down to the end of the talk page to see the latest comment.) This user has a history of these sorts of derogatory comments against me.  It seems he attacks people whenever they want to change anything on Karl Rove's page, but he does seem to be especially vitriolic when it comes to me and any edits or comments I've made.  This behavior rises above just being uncivil as it seems he does it to make an example of me so that others will not agree with me for fear of the same vitriole being aimed at them and also to isolate me so that others will gang up on me to gain favor from Jusdafax.  I believe it is time for this user to be temporarily blocked.  Would you please take a look at these comments and if you like, I can come up with the comments in the Archives, they are really awful.

== Interesting find ==

I googled references for Karl Rove and found this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BigDaddy777/Karl_Rove].  Then when I looked for the guy on wikipedia I found this: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BigDaddy777].  Obviously same guy, but is he back with the new user I.D.? Can this page be deleted?  I think he's the one who wrote the original KR article because the writing, entries are identical, which explains a lot about why the article is slanted the way it is. Also, am wondering if the reason a certain editor or two is/are so determined to discourage any changes to the article is because they represent a new sock(s).[[User:Malke 2010|Malke 2010]] ([[User talk:Malke 2010|talk]]) 15:21, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

== Question from ZQPM2941 ==

Please note, it wasn't an edit it was a selfrevert. My facts were part of the WP page before the warning. As you can see from the current message on the page in question, AUA is trying to "Protect" this page, which is nothing more than controlling this page from the facts. I feel this further proves their bias and use of WP as nothing more than advertising their business. ZQPM2941 (talk) 15:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you only blocked me and not the individuals that REVERT information without discussion. This is against WP rules. 

Please note on the American University of Antigua history the warning was given before the information was reverted, 1:51, 2 December 2009.
Then User Leuko reverted the facts.  I only selfreverted the facts I posted!
Again I ask you what do you need for me to provide to prove this information is not original research?  I can provide these final grades, my grades AUA sent me, court exibits of the grades.  These are not original research these facts are AUA documents!  AUA is using WP as an advertising tool.  If you research the history page you will see that they have reverted this information based on bias, neutrality, now original research(again when they know its they're documentation).  Please do not make this site private this 
will only allow AUA to post bias information to advertise for them.  I feel you are doing future students a grave injustice by not allowing facts like these from being posted.  These are facts!

== More from ZQPM2941 ==

Jpgordon 
I posted AUA documentation on their site “Final Grades”.
This is their documentation and shows how this institution does business, which is fraud.
I asked numerous times for them to show otherwise, to show proof this was not AUA documentation, which instead my edit was reverted, without talking, even though I requested dialog.  
I propose the following: I uncover my name from the Final grades image; show the original email notifying me of these grades, and the Out Patient evaluation that was signed by the doctor and has a court exhibit sticker on it.  How much more documentation, proof would be required to show that the Final Grades document is real and that these other editors are purposefully blocking the facts about this institution.
Then how do I protect that edit from people reverting it, so I will not be acused of warring when I put it back.  I don't see how these facts are any more or less bias than AUA's claims of students filing lawsuits against Arkansas

== Even more from ZQPM2941 ==

Please give me an example of this advise, becuase I haven't seen it.

Since it seems like I'm the only one that was blocked for this "war".
I would like to avoid being blocked again(permanently) I would like the facts to be published without being reverted and since it appears AUA is requesting a "private" page with limited access I need to avoid this mostly, so this page does not turn into another one sided advertisement page for them
So I need as much advise on what I publish, unrefuted proof that it's from them to show facts concerning this institutions business practice...
If someone reverts my facts without just cause and without a viable explanation.
What do I do.  It has to be obvious that they have tried to use: bias, nuetrality, legal, and lastly original source(even though the facts are from them) as excuses
So what is concidered unrefuted facts that they can't revert?  I do not want to cause an edit war, so what is your advice on what to do when they use they tactics to start an edit war?  Just report it to you?

:The advice is on the article talk page. Your "unrefuted proof" -- test score transcripts -- is a violation of [[WP:PRIMARY]], which reads in part
:<blockquote>Our policy: Primary sources that have been reliably published (for example, by a university press or mainstream newspaper) may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. Without a secondary source, a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by a reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages from the novel to describe the plot, but any interpretation of those passages needs a secondary source. Do not make analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims about information found in a primary source.</blockquote>

I think I understand perfectly.  You said it yourself and AUA demonstrates it on their page as the admins of wiki have.
It’s OK for the AUA to use references that are from their own Web page, without verification, and site articles that shine them in a favorable light.  When there's truth about them that shines a different color is turned on it is not acceptable.    That’s sad.  Was it money, legal threats or what????
You don't have to answer that, I wanted to say that even though I'm sure you wouldn't.
Thanks for the help.  Here's an idea for wiki, why not make a private advertisement page for institutions like AUA.  While they're at it why not petition the congress to take away the first amendment?  What was I thinking, here I thought wiki was suppose to be based on facts.

He must have erased it. It is in the history.  It all started over his editing and my editing of [[Alben Barkley]]. Barkley had an issue with income tax evasion. I found sources from after he died pointing to the fact the IRS took near half of his estate to pay for this. Barkley died in '56. This editor kept erasing my edits before finding an earlier source that makes his income tax evasion look "noble", because apparently Barkley took on some speaking engagements for pay in order to pay for his wife's health care. He has a source, but it can't be linked to for me to see, so I can't say that this is 100% true or not. Whatever the case, this does not change the fact the man did not pay taxes for income after his wife died and the IRS was getting ready to come down on him when he died, and did eventually come down on him through the estate. The sources I have found can be linked and apparently this guy wants to hide this, and if he can't hide it he want's to paint a rosy noble picture of someone who evaded paying tax.

Apparently after I told him I would contact authorities if he threatened me again, he went back and took that part out and said "whatever have it your way."  I have no problem with his source being used along with the sources I have found. Can you please point me to help on noting multiple sources? Also, if a source can't be linked to can it be utilized.

== JpGordon ==

On December 9, 2009 you wrote the following in response to a comment on Harry Reid's talk page: "We're not a news feed; you can find all you want about that elsewhere. And, since the polls quite clearly show the majority of Americans actually do favor that version of reform, we've no need to insert opinionated lies."

I'm very much offended by your statements. First of all, the polls did not "quite clearly show the majority of Americans" favored that version of reform. I looked up old polls and the first 5 I found stated that more Americans opposed it than supported it, while one was a dead heat. (None of those polls I found were from conservative-biased sources like Fox News either). You should really refrain from being so biased in how you deal with Wiki editing. He/she didn't insert any "opinionated lies". In fact he was very much correct (about the polls, nothing else). I don't even know why you had to put that last sentence in. Saying, "We're not a news feed; you can find all you want about that elsewhere." The thing is I know you know this from looking at your talk page. You've done tons of edits. I've only been doing this for a couple of weeks really, and I know better than that.

That guy/gal you were responding to was very wrong as well. Now that it has been a couple of months since Reid's comments and they haven't come up in the news since, it appears his comments blew over and should definitely. He was most definitely unfamiliar with recentism issues and he was not assuming any sort of good faith. However, I don't think this excuses you from lashing out and making accusations.

I'm putting this here too, because, once again, I don't know if you'd ever read this comment if I put it on Reid's talk page.

Hi, I noticed you handled this editor's recent unblock request. After noticing some poor quality edits by the editor at a different article ([[Jehovah's Witnesses]]), I found the telephone article they'd also substantially contributed to, which has many problems regarding encyclopedic tone and presentation. I performed a copyedit of the article[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Push-button_telephone&oldid=343860518], but the editor objected, claiming the copyedit was vandalism, and reverted the article to their previous version[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Push-button_telephone&direction=next&oldid=343860518].

I am returning to Wikipedia upon creating an account.

I am fully infuriated by such an unjust block. However, you dismissed my unblock request, saying that there was "no . . . chance [that I] have some magical right to vandalize until a particular number of warnings have been given". That is ridiculous. I protested and protested, but you refused to respect my opinion and failed to [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith#Good faith and newcomers|assume good faith]].

I can't get back into to my account! '''So I could now only use a new account now!''' I did the same to User:Bowei Huang and User:Brickfield. I also did the same to User:Bowei Huang 1 when I created the account User:An Unknown Person. '''Let me tell you the truth! I am telling you the truth!''' Can you please unblock this account because I cannot get back into my old account now even if I wanted to! I am not using multiple accounts because when I created a new account I made myself unable to get back into the old account! I do not have multiple account right now! So this is the only account I have right now. So can you please let me use this account or use another account but not use this account now?

Wikipedia says that you should not ''use'' more than one account at the same time, but it does not say that you should not ''create'' a new account if you are deciding not to use your old account ever again. So can you please let me create a new account if I am not deciding to use my old account ever again?

How did you know and find out that I was User:Bowei Huang? Can you please tell me and explain to me?

I didn't sign my tides from User:A1DF67 because I couldn't login to User:A1DF67 now anymore.

Now that I am unable to go back into User:A1DF67 or any of those other accounts, there is something I want to ask you to do. Instead of unblocking this account, there is something else I want to ask you to do. Can you please just simply let me and allow me or ask Wikipedia to let me and allow me to create and use a new account called User:Bowei Huang 2? This account would continue to be blocked but that would be the account that you or Wikipedia would let me use. I promise that after I do so, I would only use that account only and I would not create or use any other new accounts. That account would be my only account. That account would be the account I will be going to use. Can you please do that? Please?

I was at an Internet cafe-type thing, and saw some guy on Wikipedia; so when he got off his computer, I decided to get on my account, since I hadn't for a while. He had left it on the page he had been on, so I logged in and edited that page first, because I thought it would be a helpful edit. That's why I was on right after a person who apparently was doing vandalism. I PROMISE I didn't do it. I only do helpful edits, to improve Wikipedia. :)
P.S. I would recommend blocking the actual user who was doing the vandalism, not the IP address. Then he couldn't edit, but other people who get on that computer still could. :)

I live in Hennepin County, and Hennepin County Libraries have the same IP address.  You told my friend he the was the same user who made a comment on the Bill Clinton talk page, and he was not.  Daily, at least 300 people use these computers.  Also, my home area has many Bill Clinton supporters, so don't assume that he was the only one who didn't see the Bill Clinton article and wanted to comment on a bad piece of content he saw.  You also never know when a person will create a new account from a shared IP address, and you cannot automatic tell who the account because of the shared address  The comment on the page was very offending and prejudice  I suggest next time you look to see if IP addresses are shared before you tell people they are the same person, and respect the good faith policy.[[User:Tyyp|Tyyp]] ([[User talk:Tyyp|talk]]) 18:34, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

== Another blatant Brunodam sock. ==

Hello JP, further to your recent blocking of [[User:Spalatino]] et al, there's another blatant [[User:Brunodam]] sock. See [[Special:Contributions/U-1948]] - this "new" user's only contributions so far have been to restore one of Bruno's old articles [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italian_cultural_and_historic_presence_in_Dalmatia&dir=prev&action=history]. I can open an SPI if you think it's appropriate, but it's rather backlogged and this one's sufficiently obvious to be nuked without further ado, I suspect. Please let me know if you disagree, and I'll open an SPI in the normal way. In addition, [[User:Rubinmar]] is also Bruno, as evidenced by his/her being one of those, like [[User:3leopard]], who appeared as if by magic to support the removal of the POV tag from the article on the [[Thornton expedition]] - see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Thornton_expedition&diff=prev&oldid=349363526].

I am a little angry at this I mean Blackmagic24084 is a user-name I am known to use on different sites. To the point [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:142.163.148.8 look here]

Where she said '''It's NOT, such as with the whatever Blackmagic2604 page. That was probably YOU creating the account to screw up your own userpage, then blame it on me.'''

And yet here you caught her as that account... Now why would I make Blackmagic2604? I can't stand zero posters on forums so why would I make a account for a one time use.. thats right I wouldn't .. She has gone to far I'm telling you I am on the brink of emotional collapse. That girl is breaking the barrier which is keeping my anger from hurting people...

I am sorry for typing this to you its just she created two accounts Blackmagic24084 and Blackmagic2604 and then tried to blame me for the vandalism.

== Somewhat Insulted ==

By your response to me [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:216.54.205.2 here]. Excuse me, do not abate the validity of my appeal. My misuse of the convention was justifiable, and therefore does not constitute abuse (barring the fact that I've potentially made an unnecessary entry in a master data table with my injurious use of a dedicated template). If you believe I wasted your time, that's your prerogative, but I believe my time is worth as much as yours. 

If it was not your intention to offend me, then you should not so quickly dismiss someone with a vainglorious reprisal for having wasted a dedicated resource. If you feel my misuse of the template was more injurious to the project than that which I'm appealing against then perhaps you should reexamine your intention in volunteering. Finally; if you lack the wealth of time required to be tactful, then again, reexamine your intention in volunteering. I have a couple of friends who spend as much time doing administrative work on Wikipedia as anyone, and I am sure each of them is able to find the time to exercise sagacity in their reprisals. I know for a fact that tact does not require an advanced degree, nor does the latter bar someone from being impetuous. >:| [[User:Jamouse|Jamouse]] ([[User talk:Jamouse|talk]]) 22:38, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
:We go through dozens of legitimate and illegitimate unblock requests per day. We spend a lot of time and attention on people who have actual problems that can be solved by examining their cases and seeing what can and should be done. We also spend a lot of time on brats and other vandals trying to justify their behavior. The unblock template has a specific purpose; there are other ways to contact administrators, as you seem to know. Since you have those "couple of friends", and since you have an non-blocked account, you had many other options to call attention to the problems at that IP. You just picked the one likely to get a cold response; and I happened to be the first person to stumble on it; I venture any of the other people monitoring the unblock category would have given your request less than the attention you think it deserves. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|::==( o )]]</small></sup> 07:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Could you please check if {{User|Ionidasz}} has any connection to {{User|Paligun}}, as it is very strange for a brand new account to follow me to an obscure discussion board and post a message there.

The level of disruption in AA does not justify requesting a CU for a user who has zero contribution in those articles neither their talkpage. And you still claim that I am a newibie, when I wrote that I am not and explained why this account. CU is not for fishing and runing a CU without providing any evidences as to why a user is believed to be a banned user X or Y should not be allowed. You requested a CU on the ground that it's fishy a newbie will find his way. Since I explained from the start that I am not a newbie and did not edit any of those articles, you failed to explain how this applies to me. Go ahead, request a recheck of this Hetoum socks, to see if my name will come up. That's not what you did, you requested a check on my name with Hetoums' socks. Even if I am not him, my primary account will be known by the CU when I did nothing, absolutly nothing wrong. For God sake, I did not even edit those articles!!!

:::::I strongly resent your ad hominem attack and will be reporting you to Wikipedia for the personal attack. It is unacceptable and I cite ALL Wikipedia statutes on etiquette which you have categorically violated.

:::::Let me give you a little history lesson:

:::::I first placed the Goldman Sachs info on the Whitman bio page many months ago since it is material info about this person that had NOT been provided in the creation of her corporate history. Yet, on TWO separate occasions, that Goldman Sachs info was expunged from Wikipedia by various editors, and only when I interfered in the matter, was the material replaced, on the grounds of NPOV.

:::::The fact that links placed on this page pertaining to her Goldman Sachs connections have been expunged and/or modified to prevent readers discerning her involvement with the company is pure VANDALISM. It is designed to omit a material chapter in her corporate involvements.

== The Hetoum I SPI case ==

I was the one who endorsed the CU on that case. I see you and I share the opinion that creating a sock to comment on other editors in wikispace is not a legitimate use of a sock. I actually thought that was written in policy somewhere, but now I can't seem to find it. The only relevant policy I can find is regarding SPA and "good hand/bad hand" socks. But in my mind, creating a sock to complain about another user in wikispace should not be legitimate. I like to think our due process should include the right to face one's accuser. Your thoughts?

One of the original Teedham socks was 24.170.224.225 another was Hag2.  24.170.242.101 and 24.29.51.81 are also both out of Hagerstown, MD.  One of them was offended by a Teedham sockpuppet notice and removed it.  I'm not worried about that, just think it is suspicious in light of the server it's coming from.  If you don't think there's enough to be concerned about, I'm okay with your decision, but please be aware that the Teedham socks accused one vandalism target, Michael Riconosciuto, of three homicides and left a note on Lex Coleman discussion indicating that alterations were being made at the request of an employer, and were being made from the employer's IP.  As there are past and current homicide investigations for which Riconosciuto is a witness and has provided extensive documentation, this is a serious problem.  I think the water is being tested, so to speak, and anticipate another flareup of activity.
