Request reason:

Review full Blocking admin acting on false claim of User:TheGracefulSlick that sending a single copy of the exact same notice he sent me to another user who is an expert on terrorist and criminal attacks is "blatant canvassing". WP:CANVAS says it is ok to contact one or two editors, but not an excessive number. No warning was given, the spurious claim is that since a warning was given in 2010 [1] then no warning is neccesary now, and a 2nd strike 7 years later does not need a warning.

Blanking wikilinks

Any particular reason you have a problem with a wiki link? That seems like pushing a POV? Your Edit: [2] 98.248.59.58 (talk) 04:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Fort Hood shooting. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Grsz^11 23:10, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Arrest of Two New Jersey Men Bound for Somalia

A tag has been placed on Arrest of Two New Jersey Men Bound for Somalia 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Articles for deletion nomination of Arrest of Two New Jersey Men Bound for Somalia

I have nominated Arrest of Two New Jersey Men Bound for Somalia, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arrest of Two New Jersey Men Bound for Somalia. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it.

Facebook

I have again removed the statements regarding facebook groups from Nidal Malik Hasan. It simply does not add anything to the article. There would have to be an exceptional reason to include this kind of stuff and I can't image that there is one in this case. If you think that there are legitimate grounds for inclusion, please raise them on the talk page. Regards, _wjemather^bigissue 20:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who/Where says it has to be exceptional, as long as it is verifiable and notable? It was worth noting by the ADL, who are a notable group. It shows popular support on the internet for the attack and Nidal Hasan. What is the objection? Bachcell (talk) 22:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated in the edit summary, you find all kinds of crap on facebook. It is not an indicator of popular support for anything. Of course groups like the ADL (who have a clear agenda) will report on anything and everything like this, however trivial, but that does not make it notable. This is really a discussion for the article talk page, should you feel that it really should be included. _wjemather^bigissue 08:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Baltimore Chronicle

You need to find independent reliable sources to substantiate the view that the website "focuses on conflicts in the Middle East critical of Israel and moderate Muslim states" and "publish(es) news critical of Israel and supportive of Palestine and 9/11 truth".

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of Islamist terrorist attacks. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 02:48, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ali Muhammad Brown. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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 breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:14, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not edit disruptively or threaten other editors. There was only one revert, clearly justifying your incorrect case that subject was notable for only one event, and you did not discuss before you started the war by reverting without discussion and instead resorting to threats. Bachcell (talk) 13:08, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Evidently you have as much trouble counting as you do reading Wikipedia policies. First revert. Second revert. Third revert. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:25, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorism in Australia

Hi there. I saw that you commented in response to what I said on the Terrorism in Australia article, most notably with regards to Man Haron Monis. Officially, it is regarded as a terrorist incident, while unofficially it is not. Facts have proven that it is not. It is interesting to read your interpretation that it secretly was a terrorist incident. That would indicate a double bluff, as in the government pretended it was a terrorist incident when all evidence proved it wasn't, yet it secretly was due to evidence not available anywhere? It is an interesting theory, and certainly I agree that it is hypothetically possible, but it'd involve a ridiculously high level of government/secret agency manipulation to pull off, and is the payoff worth it? 9/11, in comparison, had an enormous payoff, but this didn't seem to really. While the payoff for the Australian government to lie about this is in line with Australia's prior relationship with China and the desire for Australia to want to show loyalty to USA, a double bluff lie seems to be taking it too far.

If you are serious about your claims, perhaps wikispooks is more your cup of tea? They like to indulge in such "deep politics", as they call it. Wikipedia don't like to indulge in such things. Mister Sneeze A Lot (talk) 08:11, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPOV says you have to present all views, not use one set of facts to come to a "consensus" and dismiss or whitewash one view as invalid especially when you have dozens of experts lined up on one side saying it is an obvious case of terrorism, and people openly called propogandists being used as "reliable sources" to say it isn't. Remixing pro- and -con obscures the fact that there are two valid sides, and one hasn't "debunked" the other. WP:ORIGINAL says that you can't take an event which the government has declared to be a terrorist event, and then conclude based on facts or propaganda that WP has proven the government is incorrect. It boggles the mind that editors can claim an event perpetrated by a man who is clearly a radicalized islamist, identified as a potential terrorist by Iran of all places, clearly motivated by religious political issues can succeed in whitewashing Australia's biggest and most obvious terrorist attack of 2014 of any political motivation Bachcell (talk) 15:57, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The issue has already been decided. I was just being consistent. I never personally met the guy, and didn't know anything about him prior to this event; however I can say that I never once even briefly thought that it was terrorism. It never even briefly looked like terrorism. The Australian Government, I believe, were pretending it was terrorism so as to support USA's "war on terror", in which they regularly blame things on Islamic terrorism which are more correctly just criminals. This guy was not a terrorist, he was a criminal. While the term "terrorist" keeps on changing, the current definition of a terrorist is someone who performs an act of harm for a political gain. This guy was just trying to get himself and his girlfriend out of prison. That falls under no version of a definition of terrorism. He just so happened to be a radical Muslim as well. It's quite racist to conclude that all radical Muslims are going to be terrorists. Maybe one day the definition of terrorism will change to have that definition, but right now it does not. The term terrorism used to mean someone who disagreed with the government and was trying to push for an uprising. It is just one of those words that just keeps on changing. Nelson Mandella was without question a terrorist, as was Vladimir Lenin, Che Guevera and of course Fidel Castro. All quite well received today, but definitely all terrorists. The Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka were definitely terrorists, but until 9/11 most of the world supported them doing it. By the way, if you are interested in things being pretended not to be terrorism when they really obviously were, look at the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. Very obviously a terrorist attack, that one. Just that it wasn't by a Muslim Arab. Being Muslim and Arab is not the same thing as being a terrorist. But seriously, check out wikispooks if you are interested in deep politics. It is really good for people who don't believe what the government and media tell them. Wikipedia is not the right place for people who think that they are being lied to. Mister Sneeze A Lot (talk) 11:13, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for clearing this up. A radicalized religious fanatic who just switched sects and caught the attention of Iranian anti-terrorist investigators, and who was reported to Australian anti-terrorist investigators when they saw his message switch to the sect associated with ISIS who asks for an ISIS flag and uses terrorist tactics and taken out by police using anti-terrorist tactics has been proven not to be a terrorist according to a consensus on Wikipedia using controversial propagandists such as left-wing Yassir Morsi, researcher at non-biased Centre for Muslim and non-Muslim Understanding in Australia as reliable sources. If you read the Morsi piece, he actually states that his use of religion turned it into a terrorist incident, and the police treated it as a terrorist incident, whether or not he may have been just another person having a bad day, whether he did it in the name of his religion has no bearing on the crime. Any attempt to establish a consensus that "terrorist incident" is either false or irrelevant amounts to whitewashing not in the spirit of NPOV. There is nothing wrong with presenting both sides, but any story in which any significant number of experts or government agencies has made declaration of terrorism should be good enough to be included in categories and articles on terrorism in Australia, regardless of how many editors take each side.

2015 Philadelphia train derailment

Please do not use edit summaries to make unsupported attacks on living people, such as "suggesting" entirely without evidence or sourcing that the referenced event was a "deliberate crash." Wikipedia is not a place for rumormongering or scandal-building, and if you wish to promote your unsupported theories about the crash, Wikipedia is not the place to do it.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

indefinite topic ban from all edits related to Ahmed Mohamed, broadly construed, while this matter is being considered at WP:AE

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Gamaliel (talk) 17:16, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the WP:ARBPIA alert below. Wikiwashing terrorist attacks is a real problem, and it's always the same crowd, and we're the ones getting wiki-punished. They can't decide if attacks noted by the prime minister of Israel are notable, or if they should be moved to a listing of one-line descriptions. Bachcell (talk) 22:49, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware. The only remedy it is to make sure that articles about Israel achieve up to high standards of sourcing and WP:NPOV. And, even more crucially, to make sure that Wikipedia has sufficient editors who believe that Israel-related topics should be held to the same standards (such as WP:GNG that apply to Jordan, France, Turkey and other countries. It can and does happen that good article about topics in Israel are deleted because the article on a noteworthy subject was poorly written, and it happens that well-written articles about notable topics related to Israel are deleted because the the AFD is dominated by editors with an animus towards the Jewish State. As you know, there are sizeable number of editors who know the rules of Wikipedia very well, and who use them to target editors who write about Israel with aggressive WIKIHOUNDING, STALKING, mockery, false accusations, and aggressive behavior of all kinds that usually stays just within the bounds of the Wikipedia rules of behavior. The result is that naive, new and passionate editors writing about Israel get voted off the island. It is necessary to edit in a dispassionate way. Don't lose your temper. Just do good editing. If it makes you feel better, articles about Christianity get treated the same way by aggressive Christianity-hating editors. Take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Traynor (Royal Marine) a discussion in which it was attempted to categorize Catholic faith as "paranormal", and dismiss God in a category with belief in vampires and hobgoblins. Don't let the trolls provoke you into getting banned. Keep calm and carry on.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2017 Northern California wildfires revert

Hello, Bachcell. I am messaging you to let you know that I have reverted your edits to October 2017 Northern California wildfires. While I feel that it might be important to add to the article, I just felt that the way you were doing to and how it was written was a bit problematic. Mainly, the issue is that five of the seven sentences seem to focus on immigration, with the focus on the wildfires being at the end of the paragraph. In addition, your edit summaries made it feel more like you were writing more to attack a person than to add what happened during the investigation and what results were found. I felt that I should bring this up with you so that you could see how it was being understood. Obviously, you can revert me, but I do want to let you know how at least one other user was taking your phrasing of the paragraph and edit summaries. --Super Goku V (talk) 04:28, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I, too, am concerned that the purpose of these edits seems to be to push an anti-immigrant agenda that gives undue weight to the arrest of one person. Although not yet official, most reliable sources are saying that high winds that knocked down trees and branches onto electric power lines was the most plausible cause of the fires. Arson does not seem to be a mainstream theory after two months. Cullen^328 Let's discuss it 05:39, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How many messages to how many places is grounds for block based on canvassing? There was no warning.

The following sanction now applies to you:

three month topic ban from all BLP edits on subjects related to terrorism

You have been sanctioned for repeated BLP-related POV pushing and canvassing as shown here

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means.

Request reason:

Please copy my appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard or administrators' noticeboard.

Why was I blocked I only informed an editor about an article without actually adding any content. So I can't even add comments on another page about a woman whose article was deleted but is now facing terrorist charges? I could understand extending the topic block, but why is it so harmful that it justifies a complete block? How can there be any harm in just mentioning the existence of an article title?

Procedurally closing this appeal: it was appealed to AE and unanimously declined, eventually being closed by Sandstein here. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:34, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Russian connection

A tag has been placed on Category:Russian connection requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted 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. —swpb^T • go beyond • bad idea 17:27, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ford Pinto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ford Escort. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Khalid al-Mihdhar into People linked to Anwar al-Awlaki. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:30, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Top Ten (American TV program)

The article Top Ten (American TV program) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced stub, may not be notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Brother Nathanael moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Brother Nathanael, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
