I have said that before too, that this essay on "No Nazis" is ought to get misused on Wikipedia.

Lankai

Primefac, with respect, it would be much more beneficial to the culture here if we did not just leave it at that. Opposing and refusing to explain yourself when asked is not only a behavior that is specifically articulated as a form of disruptive editing, but in this context it is tantamount to a p...

even if hes not a pedophile, hes a kkk member? wp:nonazis?

"WP:NONAZIS" is just yet another stupid policy (or essay) created only for removing very particular editors from Wikipedia.

Lankai

The sense that Jake and the Grump are using for WP:INVOLVED is the sense that actually exists. The problem is long-term *disputes* in an area, not simply participation. And that diff is an absurd reach. It wasn't a problematic edit or a dispute, it was a simple revert five years ago. It would be li...

Lankai

AndytheGrump and Jake, I meant WP:INVOLVED in the sense that he is involved as a long time editor on Triangle inequality.

See the last 500 edits of the article. He made 16 edits.

In fact his own editing on this article has been problematic per this revert made by some other editor.

Lankai

If true, the main factor must be apparent lack of prominent English language websites about those 'small cities' of Europe.

Lankai

Do any of you remember this thread from a few months ago?

Looking here, it seems that things have only gotten worse.

Graham87 engages in edit war with a user by abusing rollback and then blocks him. He revokes talk page access after the user correctly alleges him of violating WP:INVOLVED.

Lankai

Pretty effective ambush here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Site_ban_proposal:_SashiRolls . Amazing that what kicked this off was a bad partial block by El C for "edit warring," (despite not breaking 3RR). I've seen El C write many times that "you need to ha...

They love going after highly productive editor like Rich Farmbrough who is abiding by the core policies of Wikipedia. You'll get no argument from me on that score, but in this case we're not really talking about "core policies," we're talking about a rather specific editing restriction, are we not?...

Lankai

Everyone is aware at this stage now that Wikipedia has a recurring history of condoning harassment and trolling by POV pushers. They love going after highly productive editor like Rich Farmbrough who is abiding by the core policies of Wikipedia. Looking at the thread, you see there are many arbs and...

Another misleading article published by a partisan source. Nothing new.

I sort of agree with the OP here. Wikipedia has now become too much about politically motivated blocks. If Govindaharihari was more active in propagating leftist views or at least smearing biographies of some right wingers, I guess he could get away from any of those "personal attacks" given we have...

Lankai

So, Mr. Ahmedfalah7711, who was only trying to point out that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh party hadn't been banned under British rule (only under the post-independence Indian government), is now being blamed by these idiots because the version left by his first edit still contained the word "te...

2. One editor makes a career of attacking people, is never templated or redacted for personal attacks, and only gets in trouble when he outs people and calls them at home.

And still gets worshipped by masses in Wikipedia.

Lankai

Lots of Wikipedians generate WP:BITE complaints, but very few are doxxed to this extent by "news" sites, even heavily-biased right-wing news sites like OpIndia.com. And I'm not seeing any clear cause-and-effect between the WP:BITE complaints and the doxxing — it looks like OpIndia.com went after hi...

Moderator's note: We were getting a lot of DBigXray -related content posted to multiple threads, so I moved the posts from the Jytdog thread into this one retitled this thread to "User:DBigXray ID'd by Hindu Nationalist website." Alternative title suggestions are welcome, of course. Some earlier ma...

Apparently, Bbb23 tried to censor a comment made on oppose section and then started to throw tantrums once he ran a checkuser on him and found nothing.

Permanent links of discussions: RfA talk page, and his own talk page.

Wikipedia likes being blocked in Turkey, China, Iran and Russia (partial)

Blocked entirely in Turkey, China, Iran? Not sure how "partial" it is in Russia.

Lankai

Mariacricket must be a fan of the subject in my opinion.

Lankai

I think he should. There is really no reason why he should be trusted anymore with the tools.

Lankai

Thanks Boing! I really appreciated seeing what you wrote. I will listen to Cullen's words and even to some of those who were more directly critical. If I do end up being unblocked, it's going to be harder to write fun sentences here. I'll always be second-guessing myself to be sure that I'm imperso...

If you ask me, this guy is gonna be on Fram and others hit list soon. He regularly violates edit speed limits with AWB, does inconsequential edits, etc. I think its only a matter of time. Also, IMO Time magazine must really be scraping the barrel with this Huffington postesque crap piece. See: http...

Lankai

Yeah they do that a lot to be honest. Sometimes I wonder if I wrote several GA-FA quality articles and they found out it was me if they would delete them? Clearly those articles violate his topic ban, but it's yet to be seen if they will have the stomach to delete a couple hundred articles, includi...

With 85 support and 31 oppose, there are no 71% chances. I think we can say it is sinking.

At least Conservapedia lives up to its name. Rationalwiki often does not. Occasionally it turns up when I do a Google search and it's usually wrong so I fix it, but of course that's a drop in a bucket. Spot on. Conservapedia has not really disappointed me. I would just re-read that website's name w...

That is certainly the best way to go for now. Any other efforts like socking would go waste.

Not sure why Oshwah blocked an already globally locked account. The https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3ABrillLyle,block log clearly shows that the original 72 hour block was for "Outing of personal information, article ownership, incivility, and battleground conduct a...

I see you are banned "by the Wikimedia Foundation from editing Wikimedia sites". Doesn't make sense. The WMF has banned many others too. BrillLyle was also banned alongside Galaxyharrylion, a mostly Chinese editor who in the year before his ban acted incivil. I can't edit my post but I can still sa...

Lankai

WMF don't normally step in to minor local conflabs like the initial offence, so it's obvious they have taken umbrage at something other than that. They don't normally ban people without at least some good reason and those that do normally have extensive block logs first. Have you considered that yo...
