| Given the extensive edit war between multiple users, protection seems a simpler remedy then issuing tons of blocks. Hopefully a consensus can be reached or dispute resolution sought, and it won't need to remain long. However, blocking is meant to be a protective measure, not punitive, so blocking someone when they already can no longer engage in disruptive behavior would serve no purpose. Good luck on working it out! ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 05:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

| What blocking does do is add to the "block log" for this particular user so as dispute resolutions are used, it is possible to show the true character of an editor over long periods of time. User:Smeelgova has had arbitrations before on a related topic "The Hunger Project" (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Hunger) and a comment by Misplaced Pages general counsel Brad Patrick, "I'm not the best person to respond to this given my role, but I can tell you that the pattern of editing that you have engaged in over the past month, with your selection of articles, POV (in my estimation) and tendency to edit in only a very narrow area warrant very careful evaluation of exactly what it is you are doing. I just took a look at the page you put together on Harry Margolis and your choice of supposedly "relevant" legal items, and I'm really not sure what you are up to except grinding an axe. I believe you are going to be called out for your viewpoint. You might want to ask yourself if, as the userpage of User:Essjay asks, with every click of the "save page" button you are making Misplaced Pages a better place. Are you?--BradPatrick 23:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| My response to your comment is that Smeelgova should be blocked whenever she engages in 3RR, particularly when both the letter and spirit are violated, as is the case here. This is how a track record is built. When mediation and arbitration are invoked, the track record is will get taken into consideration. When Smee/Smeelgova is allowed to apologize her way out of it, there is no track record. That's the problem I have with protection only. ] 05:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

Well, if you keep your words soft but your actions determined that articles here comply with the rules then you will do just fine as my experience is that any dubious edit, when taken to the larger community, is see for what it is. Soapboxing and advocacy. See ]. And eventually those that continually do such will get their just deserts.

| **Yakuman, Smee strives to be invisible, to "hide under the radar", as he relently continues his misuse of this project and his disruptive editing.

| *** I think Smee has really figured out how to game the system. Smee does escalating outrageous behaviour, gets called on it, and then Smee becomes unbelievably contrite and promises not to do it again and portrays herself as the victim of personal attacks; the diffs always speak otherwise. We go through Smee's contrition cycles and there is little administrative record of Smee's misconduct, particularly so if different Admins get involved. Give it about a month and Smee is right back on the same articles again. Few people have the time and wherewithall to challenge Smee, and those that do leave no record because of the contrition cycles, so over 15,000 edits by Smee have accumulated taking Misplaced Pages in a very slanted direction--not neutral, not accurate and not informative. By the way, as far as I know, Smee is a female (she) from prior posts. ] 19:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ****Your characterizations of my behaviour, though amusing, are incorrect. I have learned much since our last encounters. I ''have'' utilized dispute resolution processes and consensus building and consulting the community at large since then. Most notably the ] process is very useful - and I have learned to give in to the opinion of neutral uninvolved editors coming from the RFC, and will in those cases give up my prior position in favor of the consensus of the RFC, AFD, etc. These are useful methods to gauge the consensus of the community. ] 19:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC). | |||
| *****I think my characterizations of your recent behaviour in editing the LE article are very accurate. You could have initiated RFC or mediation. ] 19:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ******You know what? You are right. I apologize for not doing so sooner. Next time, I will, trust me, and I have been shown to do so on other contentious articles in the recent past - that is, initiate RFCs or mediation or third opinions more quickly than I used to. Though I am taking a break from that particular article, and it is currently protected in any regard, I will take you up on this. Thank you. ] 19:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC). | |||
| *Sm1969, if Smee disrupts again, I think we will have to go the User RfC route. You and I and likely Yakuman have all tried and failed to handle her so we can certify the RfC. There may be other editors that have been similarly (mis-)treated and they should be easy to find. So the next time she edit-wars over an inappropriate inclusion we should likely start on the RfC route. Going to admins is really not going to cut it as fairly clear and well-stated case shows. I am going on wikibreak now for just under one week so if something comes up just log it and wait for my return if you care to. I have lots of evidence of Smee's disruption similar to the stuff I posted on AN/I so I think we can make a very strong case, especially if she continues the offensive behavior. If she cares to settle the dispute then there is a desired outcome for me on Bishonen's page. I already tried to get a 3rd party involved to mediate with Smee but she blew him off. Anyway, we should gather our diffs and be ready. Best. --] 23:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| **Most interesting to hear this coming from Justanother, of all individuals, because all said above could be reflected back on this particular user as well. And I did not "blow off" anyone, I simply stated that it was impossible to continue with any sort of mediation if Justanother's harsh tone, sarcasm, and language continued. That is all. Thanks for your time... ] 23:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC). | |||
| ***Spin spin spin, Smee. Why bother spinning here. You will get your chance to spin your heart out. --] 01:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ****Sigh, as will you. Justanother, why not simply try to be polite for a change, and see where that gets you??????????????????????????? ] 01:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC). | |||
| *****Why, Ms. Smee, despite any history to the contrary, I am trying to be polite in my '''words'''. I have always been polite in my '''edits'''. You, on the other hand, have those two aspects of your activity here completely reversed. I can easily change my sharp words. Can you as easily change your disruptive and rude editing pattern? I hope so as it will save all of us a lot of trouble. But that is trouble I will happily experience one time intensely rather than experience intermitable content RfCs where you are repeatedly shown to be wrong in your POV-pushing inappropriate inclusions but which repeated content RfCs and requests for 3rd opinions have not seemed to have dented your determination to carry on with that POV-pushing regardless of the opinions of other editors. When an editor has proven herself to be incorrigible in that manner then User RfC is the correct step. I am prepared. --] 01:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ******Justanother, you have also been accused numerous times of "disruptive editing". And you may yet find that if you shape up your tack and behaviour patterns, and act more polite, others will act more polite towards you. Why not try it and see, hm? ] 02:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC). | |||
| *******No, you are wrong. Objections to me are for sarcasm in edit summaries and on talk pages, almost never for issues related to my edits. And I personally doubt that you edit war and POV-push because someone is rude to you in an edit summary or on a talk page. That is just more smoke and mirrors on your part, Smee. You edit-war and POV-push for your own reasons. Would you care to share them with us? You've hinted at them in the past. --] 02:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ********I do not "POV push". And you could be said to have just as strong, if not moreso, of a "POV" than myself and many others here. And you have been cited for much more than "sarcasm in edit summaries and on talk pages". Why don't you try not being rude, and see where that gets you instead? You've used the other tack, why not change course and try to be polite? You might like it... ] 02:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC). | |||
| *********Ms. Smee, I do intend to be more polite. I can admit to the fact that I have allowed myself the luxury of dealing with offensive editors in a somewhat offensive manner. But the offensive editor always came first and I escalated my degree of strong language in response to their continued demonstration that they are just not interested in the rules here as regards ], ], and ]. However, I have learned that indulging myself in that manner provided too much traction for spin doctors to try to flip the issue to be about my language while diverting attention from the real issue. The real issue is disruptive editing by POV-pushers, it is not that ] said the s-word. Easily solved on my end. I will tone it down. And be extra polite to those that deserve it least based on their determined misuse of this project. Best regards and have a wonderful evening. I am about ready to shut this down for a week. I sincerely appreciate your help keepng an eye on my user page. While I have only experienced a handful of vandalism attacks, I would not like to think that my page might be defaced in my absence. Good night. --] 03:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

- Misplaced Pages policy on linking to copyrighted works
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking_to_copyrighted_works
Linking to copyrighted works
External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on us. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine.

Articles regarding ongoing enterprises
2) The principles of editing articles about ongoing enterprises are analogous to those which govern Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons. As applied to this matter, unsourced or poorly sourced negative material may be removed without discussion, such removal being an exception to the 3 revert rule Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons#Remove_unsourced_criticism. This extension of policy is based on the proposition that any unsourced or poorly sourced negative material is potentially harmful.

Accusation against you
Hi Sm1969
Are you still active in wikiepedia? - and if so are you aware of this accusation against you: even though you don't seem to have edited since 2007, and only did a handful of edits on Landmark related topics anyway. DaveApter (talk) 14:46, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
ArbCom elections are now open!
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 Misplaced Pages 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.
