JW's Beliefs
I'm not here to talk about the current ongoing ANI or AfD battle with the anonymous IP user. I'm here to talk about the actual possible re-write of the page. Other than some (highly qualified) sources such as Holden, Penton and Franz, much of the sources about the JW's beliefs almost HAVE to come from their own publications. They wholesale reject any "apostate" (such as Franz) writings, and they also wholesale reject any writings not from their own publication arm (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society). This is a problem as any editor of the JW page will tell you that as soon as a new (i.e. current) believer of the religion discovers wikipedia, they go through and attempt to delete anything to do with Franz, Penton, Holden etc. I am wondering how you think it would be best to go about getting it off of WP:PRIMARYSOURCES reliance, given the lack of secondary sources available? Vyselink (talk) 20:49, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
- You'll notice I didn't touch it myself. :-) I'm not familiar enough with the religion or its reliably-sourced coverage to give an informed answer to this question. (Sounds eerily familiar to some questions raised over at WP:WikiProject Freemasonry, come to think of it...) --SarekOfVulcan (talk)
User:Sheodred's topic ban
Hello,
I've only just been made aware of this AN edit warring restriction, in which you were involved.
As a result of Sheodred's recent behaviour, I should like to bring the following ECCN report to your attention: Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Geopolitical ethnic and religious conflicts#Anglo-Irish and Irish Bios and also raise concerns regarding the use of AN/I against two editors, one being myself, in bad faith over the "Anglo-Irish" situation: here and here. Despite his "agreement to cease making edits regarding Irish nationality on any articles for one month", he seems to have instead taken the opportunity to wage disputes regarding the use or relevance of "British" on several articles, which suggests to me that imposing a one month block will not curb his behaviour. Like being told not to "play on the grass" in one place, he has simply found another field to wage his nationality disputes over.
I have proposed a topic ban at ECCN, without stating a period, as that is an admin decision. Though I expect nothing less than 6 months will put a stop to the multi-thread issues he is creating across wiki, as well as attempts to undermine the neutrality of MOS.
Cheers, Ma®©usBritish 20:26, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Richard Arthur Norton: Revisiting topic ban; Should it be removed or made indefinite?
Hi SarekOfVulcan. You participated in Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive228#Richard Arthur Norton copyright violations, in which a one-month topic ban on creating new articles and making page moves was imposed on Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk · contribs). The closing admin has asked for community input about whether to remove the topic ban or make it indefinite at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Richard Arthur Norton: Revisiting topic ban; Should it be removed or made indefinite?.

- User:SarekOfVulcan/Sigh in case you did not know, personal templates are allowed - like this. But if you have to do it that way, for this template it don't save typing! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:43, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- Exactly why I didn't do it that way. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
indef lock
Why the indef lock on John Vincent Atanasoff? I need to update a link there. Dicklyon (talk) 17:02, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
- As I explained on the talkpage, I was putting an end to a four-year edit war over his nationality. You can use {{editprotected}} on the talkpage, or request unprotection at WP:RFPP. I'm no longer an admin, so I can't do anything directly.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:50, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

- Comps, when you're blocked, you are blocked -- it doesn't matter which IPs or accounts you come back on. Block evasion is not acceptable. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:30, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Courcelles 22:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
- A week sounds about right, since my last block for edit warring with Doncram was 40 hours. See you next year! --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:32, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
- One request, though -- I was in the middle of adding the following text to Wilson, Sompayrac & Urquhart when I was blocked. It doesn't involve the material that was being edit warred over, and I believe the addition would be uncontroversial. The firm was dissolved in 1919, when Wilson returned to practicing alone and Sompayrac moved to ].<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=wqQwAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA389</ref> --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
