The Malik case
[edit]Hey Brad/Bad(?). No idea if you ever knew or not, but I was following your case in some detail over at Wikipediocracy. In their wisdom, I am now no longer able to participate there, but I thought I'd be remiss in not letting you know the thread exists. If you've not read it, it probably makes interesting reading, if only for your own amusement. Even though people here were both reading and taking an active part in posting, I'm not aware of any of them telling you they were. In retrospect, I guess I should have told you myself, so that's ultimately on me. The specific thread is in the member's only area (in the portion of the site they restrict from Google) and is clearly marked as Malik etc. I wouldn't advise you signing up as Brad, or indeed taking any active part on the site, it's just not worth it. But to read the thread, you have to become a member. It's bizarre, as in your case it gave certain Wikipedians who were gunning for you more leverage, and the ability to make themselves look better in the process of royally shafting you, without actually even participating in the forum (even though it could be deduced by others that their unfettered presence there, as named members, could be seen as an endorsement of their use of the site in that way). Oddly, as a group, the Wikipediocrats seemed to have no problem with that at all (I raised that in another thread as a specific issue, but was quickly shot down). So that decision is definitely on them. Let me know if you ever need any advice in future, assuming of course you see anything in the thread you deem useful. Who knows, you might think I was harming your case, and if so, I apologise! I'm curious as to why, after all that, you thanked Dennis, but hey, absolutely don't answer that if you don't want to - I'll understand, believe me.

- Nice to meet you , Mighty Morphin Army Ranger . It seems I have some reading to do. I was just at your user page to see where you had mentioned me, and will be reading up on your contributions. Floquenbeam's behavior was of course despicable and violated numerous policies, but I am trying to put that behind me. Where can I read the Wikipediocracy stuff?

Speedy deletion nomination of Martin Knutson
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Martin Knutson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://roadrunnersinternationale.com/knutson.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Battle of Karameh
[edit]Both 6 Israeli armored vehicles and 40 Jordanians dead are mentioned in the source. Here's the exact location. Makeandtoss (talk) 23:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- ok, that's a different source (p.180) than the one given in the article (p. 570). Feel free to re-add it with the new page number, but note that your source gives a figure of "half a dozen armored vehicles" - which is inclusive of both tanks and half-trucks - so the info box can't list this in addition to the figure of 4 tanks and 2 half trucks - that would be double counting. Also the "40 Jordanians killed" seems to refer only to the operation at Safi, not Karameh. Bad Dryer (talk) 23:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- The 40 Jordanians killed is added next to 28 Israelis killed, which is considered to be the Israeli casualties in the battle... So its a slight misunderstanding. --Makeandtoss (talk) 23:33, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think that's correct, as other sources give higher casualty figures for the Israeli side (the article gives a range of 28-33) Bad Dryer (talk) 23:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Carta (publisher)
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Carta (publisher) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. KDS4444Talk 09:07, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- All anonymous IP editors and accounts with less than 500 edits and 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition may be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of Pending Changes, and appropriate edit filters.
- Uninvolved administrators are encouraged to monitor the articles covered by discretionary sanctions in the original Palestine-Israel case to ensure compliance. To assist in this, administrators are reminded that:
- Accounts with a clear shared agenda may be blocked if they violate the sockpuppetry policy or other applicable policy;
- Accounts whose primary purpose is disruption, violating the policy on biographies of living persons, or making personal attacks may be blocked indefinitely;
- There are special provisions in place to deal with editors who violate the BLP policy;
- Administrators may act on clear BLP violations with page protections, blocks, or warnings even if they have edited the article themselves or are otherwise involved;
- Discretionary sanctions permit full and semi-page protections, including use of pending changes where warranted, and – once an editor has become aware of sanctions for the topic – any other appropriate remedy may be issued without further warning.

November 2015
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Amin al-Husseini. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 18:57, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.DavidLeighEllis (talk) 19:36, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

. Drmies (talk) 19:41, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Bad Dryer (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I don't believe I have personally attacked any editor (and note the concurring opinion of an administrator on this matter here:[2]) , but will strike out or remove any offensive comment if unblocked (a courtesy not extended to me by people using vicious antisemitic slurs against me ([3]).
I noted that Nishidani takes a different view of consensual Man-boy sexual relations as evidenced by the fact that he repeatedly referred to these actions (which are a criminal offense in most countries) as "victimless", and going as far as putting the word "victim" , used by multiple reliable sources without quotes, in scare quotes in our article and then delivering a passionate defense of why such scare quotes are needed ([4]). He has also cited favorably the notion of Sotadic zone - the hypothesis that there exists a geographic zone in which pederasty is prevalent and celebrated among the indigenous inhabitants. This is common in NAMBLA literature, and I don't believe should be part of an encyclopedia, other than in an article about NAMBLA, of course. However, I will strike out those comments if editors believe they crossed the line. Bad Dryer (talk) 22:15, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Repeating the personal attack that caused you to be blocked in your unblock request is a guarantee that your request will not be granted. Saying you will strike comments upon request while continuing to repeat those comments is not a means of making amends or ensuring that you will not repeat this behavior. Liz Read! Talk! 00:59, 30 January 2016 (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.
Further use of your talk page to repeat the personal attacks you were blocked for, or other disruptive behaviour, will result in the loss of your talk page access. If this happens you may appeal through WP:UTRS. HighInBC 01:21, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- I just want to add that Nishidani has put victim in quotes because as he said, the sex was consensual. There is no such thing as consensual sex with a 15 year old. I don't know if NAMBLA literature was the way to go, but certainly putting victim in quotes and being called on it, and repeating the claim that at 15 you can have consensual sex with an adult is ludicrous. I would ask an admin to read the Ezra Nawi talk page. It's getting really hard to edit Wikipedia on the Israeli-Palestine side when any pro-Israeli editor is banned/blocked every couple of weeks. Either it's for being a sockpuppet, imagined or real. Yet we have on the other side people supporting organizations that support terror who get free passes. Shame on Wikipedia. As people told me last time I was blocked, that is why they stay away from the area, so no wonder the inherent bias.

- I expect this will be removed, but since you also, the third person here, keep asserting falsehoods in my regard I would note, as a European, that you are wrong in asserting:
There is no such thing as consensual sex with a 15 year old
repeating the claim that at 15 you can have consensual sex with an adult is ludicrous.
- Ages of consent in Europe
- Personally, I think sex before 18 is deeply misguided (which makes me wildly out of touch with contemporary attitudes), and that adults who sleep with anyone under that age are indulging in an exploitation of a power advantage that is detrimental to the teenager, totally unacceptable and worthy of sanction. You won't believe this, of course.Nishidani (talk) 10:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Bad Dryer (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I regret having made the personal comments about another editor. I easily could have made (and should have made) my point regarding the use of sources without the gratuitous reference to nambla, and without implying Nishidani supports it.
I recognize that implying such support is a personal attack, and will strike out those comments and not repeat similar statements in the future.
Decline reason:
This is the same sort of promise you made after your last indefinite block. I have every confidence that you will stir up another shit storm if you are unblocked. There may be an administrator foolish enough to unblock you, but it will not be me. Declined. HighInBC 17:45, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have now served more than 6 months of this block, and have had time to rethink my approach to editing Wikiepdia. I repeat and renew my apology, as in the previous unblock request, as well as the offer to strike out the offending remarks. If unblocked, I will also undertake a voluntary topic-ban from the Ezra Nawi article (and others , if the unblocking administrator sees fit), and an interaction ban with Nishdani. I do want to return to editing in a constructive manner.
Decline reason:

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
