== Blocked for 24 hours for disruptive editing ==
*]


Without asserting blame for events happening prior to this week, earlier this week I and others imposed the 24 hr interaction ban to try and calm the larger conflict down. Since then, the level of personal attacks and disruptive actions by all but one of the parties involved dropped off nearly completely.


For whatever reason, you have continued them.
<br><br><br>


I advised you a couple of days ago to take a short break, hoping that you would calm down and find a way to continue the content debates without disruptive actions and personal attacks. Your response has been to redouble those attacks. Reviewing ANI currently, there is significant administrator support for a proposal blocking you for a week and putting you on user interaction probation for three months.
* 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'<br>'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.<br>'I don't much care where —' said Alice.<br>'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat
]
* 'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.<br>'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'<br>'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.<br>'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'<br>


I am not taking up that proposed community sanction now. But reviewing your actions since my request for you to take a break, it's clear that you are poking sticks into situations to escalate conflict, with multiple parties, in multiple venues. That's disruptive to the community. We expect editors to handle conflicts in an adult manner - with respect for other participants, and dealing with disagreements at a friendly, or at least not insultingly combative, level.

I am blocking you from editing for 24 hrs to prevent further provocations and disruptive behavior.

When the block is up - I '''strongly urge''' you to either disengage from this subject or to participate in a constructive manner with due respect for other Wikipedians' participation. Even in contentious areas, we expect people to handle content conflicts with dignity and respect. If you cannot do that, you either need to stay away from contentious areas, or reconsider whether you are able to participate in Misplaced Pages on an ongoing basis.

That decision is up to you. If you chose to behave in a constructive manner then nobody will remember this a year from now. I hope that you chose that path.

The block was unfair. No differences for the block rationale were provided.
Conclusion: Admins do not write long block messages. Make them short, clear and the most important specific. Provide the exact differences for the block rational, and provide them in such a way that anybody would be able to see those at any time, even a few years later. Sandstein does it right.

;Block analysis.
This block is one of my favorite :-) I was blocked for this for violating my topic ban on I/P conflict in... ] article. What in the word ] has to do with I/P conflict? There's not a single, not even a half word in that article about the conflict or about Arabs for that matter.

Conclusion: Administrators, if you are really to block contributors for such edits, I believe topic bans conditions should be specified much more clearly than they are specified now. For example, it should be said somewhere: "Do not edit anything that has a word from your topic ban description. For example, if you are topic banned on I/P conflict, do not edit any article that has word "Israel" in it. Blocks should not deepened on what admin is active at the moment and what mood he/she is in. Contributors, if you are topic-banned, for example, on I/P conflict do not edit anything that has a word "Israel" in it even, it has nothing to do with the conflict itself. You might get unfairly blocked for so called topic ban violation.--] (]) 21:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

;Block analysis

I was blocked over . As you could see it had absolutely nothing to do with I/P conflict and was only concerning[REDACTED] user page policies. It was made at AE appeal issued by a user, who was unhappy that a hate propaganda image he displayed at his user page was removed. Did I violate my topic ban by citing[REDACTED] policies in my own section without mentioning any specifics about removed hate propaganda image. I do not think so, and other topic banned users were not sanctioned in the similar situations.

Conclusion: Admins, what I like about being blocked by Sandstein is that he always provides the differences for the block rationale in block log and in block message. It is a very good practice, and every blocking admin should do the same thing. Contributors, once again, even you believe your edit is not a violation of your topic ban, it is better to be safe than sorry.--] (]) 01:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

;block analysis
It was my last block for so called topic ban violation for two non disruptive edits on user's talk pages. Was it fair? Well I have seen other topic banned users made multiple comments on an user's talk pages and did not even get warned.

*'''Comment'''. This appears to be a flawed block. ''Ab initio'', the blocking admin failed to supply any evidence to support the charge of "wantonly hounding that editor and others, again". The denial of the unblock request, which stood on grounds that differed from the original block, was similarly flawed. It cited "editors are supposed to be notified when they're discussed on ANI". That is true. Failure to do so happens all the time, for all sorts of reasons, and is on a regular basis addressed by other editors indicating it should be done or doing it themselves -- this is not by any means a blockable offense, and the assertion that it is suggest a wholly unequal application of the rules. Running around claiming "canvassing" where it is arguably disingenuous has happened as well in other areas without blocks being applied -- if Sarek really believes this is a blockable offense, I would like to know so I can direct him to editors who are doing precisely that, and ask him to block them forthwith -- nobody else has done so. Sarek's view that the SPI was frivolous is Sarek's point of view; that is not "clearly harassment". The diffs that Betsy provides are frivolous, and clearly not blockable offenses (really -- does she think it is a blockable offense to say "Rant, rant, rant. The users as you are only good to drive content contributes away" -- this only demonstrates how far she is reaching to try to make a silk purse out of a cow's ear). Gwen's extension of her own block to indef for what she perceives as "likelyhood of harassment" is as flawed as the spelling -- I see no basis for an extension of any sort, let alone an extension to indef, and find it odd that the same involved sysop is reacting to criticisms of her actions by engaging in further questionable actions.


;My analysis of the block. I hope it might help some users and administrators.

After a complaint <small>that should not have been filed in the first place</small> about me was filed on AN/I, and ] warned me they should have archived this complaint on AN/I and mark it as resolved. It was not done, that promoted a few trolls and my personal hounds to pick it up a some time after I was warned. At that time I felt threatened because the trolls brought up my communications with another users that had nothing to do with initial AN/I thread, and none of which required any administrative assistance whatsoever. The three users were <s>canvased</s> notified about the thread. Two of those three were decent enough to ignore the <s>canvasing</s> notifications. The blocking administrator was . At that point I was sooo surprised how an elephant was getting created out of a fly that I filed an SPI request. It should not have been filed of course, but '''it was not filed to harass anybody'''. '''I filed it with the only purpose to protect myself'''. I was refused in ]. At that point I got blocked for a week. I should not have been blocked even for a minute. A single(even wrong SPI) and a single a few words post on AN/I with no PA in a thread started by someone else (not me) should not have resulted in the block ever.

WRT the diffs I provided -- Mbz1 had repeatedly asked for diffs, claiming she made no attacks on anyone. I never suggested that any single diff was a blockable offense -- anybody can have a bad day. But what is striking in this case is the number of different kinds of examples of ] mentality, including but not limited to her offensive personal remarks to many different editors just in the top 100 edits of her contribution list, plus filing a nuisance SPI, plus accusing editors who were notifying others of their mention on an ANI of canvassing, plus starting an edit war on this talk page which is what led to Mbz1's being blocked from editing it. Not to mention wikilawyering about the exact wording of ] because the word "hounding" was used in its conventional English meaning by the blocking admin. Instead of learning from the one-week block, Mbz1 continued to give more evidence that she did not feel she had to change her behavior in any way. ] (]) 00:36, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:The diffs ''both'' individually and as a whole are IMHO frivolous. And clearly not blockable (let alone indef blockable) offenses.

In reply to your e-mail,
:"You are probably the last person I could count on to help me, but I will try. I am not asking you to review my block, but why my talk page access was removed. I only added the template http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:Indefinite <br>I believe I am allowed to have such things at my talk page."
I believe that this issue is moot. The purpose of your talk page is for you to communicate with others with respect to your Misplaced Pages editing. If you no longer edit Misplaced Pages, the talk page has no purpose for you. Because you are indefinitely blocked and have said, above, that you do not intend to appeal your block, you have no need to edit your talk page. It is therefore not necessary for me to review whether the removal of your talk page access was correct. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">]</span></small> 07:14, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:It sounds correct that (and I am not clear if this is the case) if the user does not wish to appeal his indef block, there is no need for access to this page to be granted. If the user were to wish to appeal his block, or to discuss the rationale for it with an eye to possibly appealing it, I would think that it would be appropriate to restore access for that purpose.--] (]) 07:30, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

::: Unfortunately, topic or interaction bans require cooperation from the banned editor. All that admins can do to enforce those is to block (globally) for violations.

What I was blocked for:
{| align=center border=0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=4 style="border: 1px solid #CC9; background-color: #cfc"
#I filed AE concerning ]. The only thing I have done was to collect evidences presented about the user in other AEs by me and other editors and combine them in one place for an easy reading. I did add a few new ones. I even added this comment to explain filing of AE: Have I done something wrong by filing this AE? No, I did not. I have a great concern about user editing and filed an AE in a good faith. It was closed improperly. My block should not have impacted the discussion. AE should not have been closed by an admin, who never read it only because the filer is blocked. Once again the only thing I have done was putting the evidences from 2 different AE in one for an easier reading and adding a few other ones. It was filed in a neutral tone, and at least one administrator even it was opened for only a short time. I am not sorry for filing this AE report, it should be reopened, but I promise, '''if I am ever unblocked, never again contribute to AE.'''
|-
#My next "crime" was on AN/I thread started by somebody else. It was a good faith post not to harass anybody, but to help an editor, who found themselves in a similar situation I was.A few months back I felt obligated to support somebody else. There was no PA and, no harassment intended in that post, but I promise, if I am ever unblocked, '''never again contribute to AN/I and stay away from that user'''. Did my single AN/I post (a one sentence) in a thread that was stated by somebody else deserved deserved and of a willing administrator? No, it did not!

#SPI report. I did file it not to harass. Only idiots could file SPI to harass, if they know it will come out negative. Was it my mistake to file it? Yes, it was. Was it filed in a bad faith? No, it was not! Here I'd like to ask everybody to assume a good faith towards my action too, but '''I promise, if I am ever unblocked, never again file another SPI'''. It appears to be much safer to be a subject of one :) as I was on at least 2 occasions.

#My accusation in users "canvasing" made my unblock request declined. Well, this is a tricky one. I read that I believed that notifying 3 users I had disagreement with without notifying any one, who might have supported me falls under this description of inappropriate canvasing. OK, I read the policy wrong. <small>Did I really? </small> Should I have been blocked for this? No, maybe warned, maybe explained, but not blocked!
#The other "crime" I accused in is a disruption of the project. No, I did not disrupt the project, a valid AE request (and I insist it was valid), a 4 posts on AN/I (3 in a thread about me), and a a single wrong SPI could not, and should not be called a disruption.
#Somebody suggested, if I am ever unblocked to post me on indefinite topic ban for I/P conflict related areas.I do not mind this sanction at all. It is much healthier to have such ban, but I would like to understand what I have done wrong in this area? I am not edit warring, I rarely edit in the area at all. Yes, I filed 2 AE requests in the last week. IMO and in opinion of at least 3 administrators they have at least some merits. But let's assume I have done something wrong with those AE. Then ban me from AE, but why to ban me from I/P conflict in whole? I asked this question only for my own understanding, as I said I am perfectly fine with being banned for the area.


*OK, I am not saying that I was absolutely right in all my actions listed above. I believe no reasonable person could claim being absolutely right, but IMO I did not deserve to be blocked. Nothing of what I have done or said was done or said in a bad faith. Nothing of what I have done or said was done or said to harass somebody. Nothing of what I have done or said was done or said to wikihound anybody.
* The following statement is not ] It is just to show that some of supporters of the block are involved with me. A few of the most loud of my accusers are involved with me.

:: You repeatedly asked for a list of diffs, and I provided links to only three of the five ] remarks from your recent history that had been mentioned in the ANI. Concerning the first of these three diffs, , could you explain which one sentence you mean out of these four sentences: "The same happened to me a few month ago. ] harassed and wikihounded me all over[REDACTED] until an interaction ban (that I enjoyed very much) was issued between the user and me. Too bad it has expired. That user ] will never drop the stick, and he wants to be an administrator!" The second and third diffs I cited come from a talk page argument with Bali Ultimate. In the second you told Bali Ultimate he reminded you "how unpleasant some users, who hardly wrote a few articles themselves could be." Is that not a personal attack? In the third you said "The users as you are only good to drive content contributes away." Is that not a personal attack? And the motivation for all that unpleasantness was not some life-and-death matter or threat to the honor of a beloved country; Bali Ultimate was somehow frustrating your ambitions for yet another of your DYK-targeted articles. I completely agree with Mbz1 that saying "Rant rant rant", although uncivil, does not by itself constitute a ].

:First of all you are right. I wrote 4 sentences. Sorry about this. About "harassed and wikihounded me all over wikipedia" and "will never drop the stick" I honestly do not believe it was PA. If it were a false accusation, then yes, but sadly it was the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The user got involved themselves in the matter that did not concern them at all. Then the user left . Then the user reported me as a vandal for...deleting his warnings from my own talk page! I was lucky the admin really looked into what was going on and instead blocking me for "vandalism" removing messages from my own talk page), The warning did not really help because after that the user nominated on deletion at least 2 pages from my own user space. Then..I could have continued,but I believe it is enough. So, when I saw a similar situation with another editor, it just brought a painful memories back. I remembered how desperate I was, and I simply wanted to express my understanding, if you wish, to the editor. I came from an absolutely different culture. In my country saying "harassed and wikihounded me all over wikipedia" would not have been such a big deal at all. I cannot apologize for this comment. If it were a false accusation, I would have, but I said the truth. You saw down below that I did apologize to two editors I felt like apologizing. If I feel I have said something wrong, I will always apologize. This is not the case. Maybe I should not have posted to the thread, but I do not consider that post to be neither harassment, nor PA, nor a disruption. It was posted in a good faith. I am sorry for getting in such details, but you asked, and I simply wanted to show to you on one example only that it is not right to take my comment out of content. I could have explained the situations with my other posts too, but I believe I'll leave it here. I will only add one more time that I do not believe I am 100% right , but IMO I did not deserved to be blocked at all,leave alone indefinite leave alone removing talk page access.--] (]) 03:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

I would also like to apologize to Sandstein for emailing them last night. Silly me believed that it was OK to email an administrator and to ask to review removing of my talk page access, but thanks to ] I realized now that I was "canvassing". So, Sandstein, I am really sorry I canvased you. It was a good faith email. It was not my intention at all to create you any troubles because of that. This all comes from my misunderstanding of the policy. You see, I believed that ] because the message cannot be called "neutral" (IMO), and because this very administrator ended up blocking me, but now I am starting to realize how wrong my understanding of the policies really is! <small>Wonder why only this particular administrator was "notified", but anyway...</small>. My email to you was ]. Maybe I should have emailed to my blocking administrator instead of emailing to you, but honestly I was simply afraid because, when I said "a" she blocked me for a week, when I said "b" a week long block was changed to indefinite, when I said "c" she removed my talk page access, so I was sure, if I am to email her (say "d") she will remove my email access too :)

: Just to clarify, ] says that messages regarding wiki matters must be limited in number AND neutral in wording AND nonppartisan in targeting AND open rather than secret. I felt your email to Sandstein fell short of the second of these requirements. (Also the fourth, but that was excusable since you had no wiki access.) Your explanation of why you lost talk page access was "I am not asking you to review my block, but why my talk page access was removed. I only added the template http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:Indefinite I believe I am allowed to have such things at my talk page." You lost talk page access after refusing to acknowledge that any block was justified, after attacking the blocking admin and all your critics, and after edit-warring with the blocking admin. You did not "only" add the template, you removed your own long-standing statement that you are "Semi-retired" and instead added a pile of your past awards, etc. Doing her credit, Gwen did not remove your new trophy wall, but she did remove your new "blocked" template, explaining that putting it there would mislead other admins. You then, 3 minutes later, edit-warred her decision with an Undo. I think that summarizing all these actions by you as "I only added the template" is a misleading and non-neutral account of the behavior that got your talk page access blocked. That was why I called this particular piece of off-wiki solicitation for help "canvassing." ] (]) 03:51, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
:You know what I kind of do not think one could edit-war on ones own talk page.

*Mbz -- yes, you are of course completely within your rights to remove your own statement that you were "Semi-retired" from your own talkpage. That is without question. You were also completely within your rights to restore reflection of your past awards to your talk page. That is, after all, where they first appeared. And I was interested to see them -- they are quite impressive, and reflect much work to improve the Project, which stand you in good stead. Good editors and sysops will note that, and will scratch their heads at any future attempts to belittle them. And of course it would have been completely inappropriate for an editor or sysop to remove them from your talkpage--an actionable offense, actually. If I were you, I would take it for granted that seasoned thoughtful editors will know these things. Merry Christmas.--] (]) 04:43, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

***From ]: "A usual block prevents users from editing all pages except their user talk page. Users are allowed to retain editing access to their user talk page, in order to have a chance for appeal, and so that they are not shut out completely and are able to participate at least to some degree in Misplaced Pages, while the block is active...A minority of editors who are blocked use these privileges poorly, for personal attack or to play games and make a point. Inevitably the response to such actions is simple – editing access is blocked in its entirety and without further discussion, whereas if the user had been responsible and reasonable, an entirely different result might well have happened." I did not assert you were not within your rights to edit your own talk page, I merely listed a few of the many actions you engaged in there that A) were far in excess of your claim in the canvassing email to Sandstein that you "only added the template" and B) might lead a reasonable admin to feel you were using it "for personal attack or to play games and make a point" and thus were by policy likely to be blocked from using it further. ] (]) 14:21, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

== DYK for Novaculichthys taeniourus ==
Thank you for your kind words, Mbz1, they are much appreciated. You may have said about enough to merit unblocking in relation to the specific issues that led to the blocking, but I'm not familiar with the background and it ideally needs some input from the blocking admin before making an unblock request. I'd like to add something else though: in the spirit of Christmas and New Year, I suggest you think a bit more about how you can avoid getting caught up in ] dynamics: these are often collective dynamics in which people get caught up in vicious circles reflecting back bad faith or bad behaviour they experience from others. The only real solution (besides avoidance, voluntary or enforced by bans) is to constantly and very consciously try to break that cycle by exhibiting more ] and being nicer and more helpful than those who disagree with you. See for example ], to which I've just added an apposite quote from a mug I got for Christmas :). One particularly concrete part of this would be to avoid edit summaries that could be construed as rude, and to avoid responding to talkpage posts by undoing them - that's rarely helpful and hardly ever necessary. Anyway, take some time to reflect on how you can make Misplaced Pages a more pleasant place for you and for others, and good luck. ] <sup>]</sup> 11:02, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I opined against indef'ing you on ani. Do not construe that as supporting you, however. I'm seeing a slew utter bullshite from you, mixed with a history of doing some good stuff. Above, you called for Gwen's tools; *NOT*. You need to profusely apologize for that. The SPI was totally inappropriate, too; Dae “hunts” sock. A *lot*. I don't approve of his approach to that. I believe I also saw a ref to problematic editing on your part re Israel/Palestine. You should not be surprised that a lot of people are fine with cutting you loose. I think the best you're going to get here is an RfC/U that you quite earnestly participate in and take a lot of the comments aboard *willingly* If you don't, the next step won't be a time-sucking Arb Case, it will be a community ban discussion in which you *will* be banned. There's a lot of tl;dr here, and people hate that. I'll keep an eye on this, but frankly the timing of this sucks for many people. If I see much more that I don't like, expect me to be in the ''support ban'' camp. Merry Christmas, ] 09:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)


==How daft of me!==
:Hi Jack thanks for your message. I have already agreed that filing SPI was a mistake, but it was not done to harass, hound or upset any user. When I filed this SPI, I was more than 60% sure that I was right. So, was this a mistake? Yes, it was. Was it "totally inappropriate", was it filed in a bad faith? No, it was not.


I should have awarded you with this right away.
:I myself was a subject of SPI request 2 times. First time it was ordered by an admin. They ordered SPI on me and...on two accounts that were created with the only purpose to attack me on AN/I an hour or so before. Just stop and think about this for a moment: They claimed I created socks to attack myself! The other SPI was run om me and on IP with a perfect English. My English is very recognizable as well as my images. Even, if I wanted to make a sock, and I never ever will, my sock would not survive a few hours. Nobody was even warned, leave alone blocked, for requesting those SPI on me, and both were requested to harass me. BTW that second SPI was the place, where I got a "pleasure" of meeting Dae for the first time. It is how all this has started.

The whole "cost/benefit" thing keeps coming to mind. Letting anyone edit works out. There is a decent net gain. Vandals are a sinch. One click and it's back to work. But this stuff is insufferable. So many times I've seen editors suck everyone in for a dramafest. I don't know what to suggest other than putting a strong emphasis on "diffusing and disengaging" whenever possible. So, to all the editors who have been on that track: "Good on ya". Too all the editors who have tried to keep the pot boiling: "Nerts to you."

I didn't see anything straightforwardly linked to IP topic warring as such.

::Hi Gwen, Thanks for your very generous offer. It is very kind of you that you do not request me to apologize. It would have been really easy for me to accept your offer especially because , but this will be dishonest on my part just simply accept it and got myself unblocked. I have absolutely no problems with not only 6 months ban on every board you listed, but even on indefinite ban on those boards either. There's the other thing that bothers me. When you changed my block time from a week to indefinite, it was my understanding that you have done this because I did not understand what I was blocked for. Gwen, I am afraid I still do not. I will not start my explanations all over again, but IMO , an absolutely valid AE request, a single, yes, "wrong", but still a single SPI should not have resulted in a block.

Actually, I would like to ask you, if it is allowed of course, to make an archive for me, and to move everything starting from your initial block message to all the way down to this archive. Please leave only indefinite block template. I did not add it in purpose to upset you. I simply believed it is the way it should be in order not to mislead the users, who will look at my talk page.

January 2010

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring at Israeli West Bank barrier. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. WP:3RR doesn't have an exception for your interpretation of WP:NPOV. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 05:18, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

This block was extremely unfair posted by an involved administrator, who heavily edited this very article himself. The block was lifted soon after it was posted. I have to give credit to User:Nableezy for helping me out, and I am grateful to him for doing so, most of all because the user is on the different side. Nableezy asked Malik to lift the block because the article got protected. Administrators, do not block the editors, if you protected the article, and never act as admins, if you are involved up to your nose like in this case.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:54, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Blocked for 24 hours for disruptive editing

Without asserting blame for events happening prior to this week, earlier this week I and others imposed the 24 hr interaction ban to try and calm the larger conflict down. Since then, the level of personal attacks and disruptive actions by all but one of the parties involved dropped off nearly completely.

For whatever reason, you have continued them.

I advised you a couple of days ago to take a short break, hoping that you would calm down and find a way to continue the content debates without disruptive actions and personal attacks. Your response has been to redouble those attacks. Reviewing ANI currently, there is significant administrator support for a proposal blocking you for a week and putting you on user interaction probation for three months.

I am not taking up that proposed community sanction now. But reviewing your actions since my request for you to take a break, it's clear that you are poking sticks into situations to escalate conflict, with multiple parties, in multiple venues. That's disruptive to the community. We expect editors to handle conflicts in an adult manner - with respect for other participants, and dealing with disagreements at a friendly, or at least not insultingly combative, level.

I am blocking you from editing for 24 hrs to prevent further provocations and disruptive behavior.

When the block is up - I strongly urge you to either disengage from this subject or to participate in a constructive manner with due respect for other Wikipedians' participation. Even in contentious areas, we expect people to handle content conflicts with dignity and respect. If you cannot do that, you either need to stay away from contentious areas, or reconsider whether you are able to participate in Misplaced Pages on an ongoing basis.

That decision is up to you. If you chose to behave in a constructive manner then nobody will remember this a year from now. I hope that you chose that path.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for repeated abuse of editing privileges. Please stop. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
Block analysis

The block was unfair. No differences for the block rationale were provided. Conclusion: Admins do not write long block messages. Make them short, clear and the most important specific. Provide the exact differences for the block rational, and provide them in such a way that anybody would be able to see those at any time, even a few years later. Sandstein does it right. Learn from him.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

April 2010

To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked for a period of 24 hours from editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read our guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block.  Sandstein  13:27, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Notice to administrators: In a 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

This is in reaction to your violation of the topic ban noted above by your edit , as per the reports on my talk page.  Sandstein  13:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Block analysis.

This block is one of my favorite :-) I was blocked for this edit for violating my topic ban on I/P conflict in... Rothschild family article. What in the word Rothschild family has to do with I/P conflict? There's not a single, not even a half word in that article about the conflict or about Arabs for that matter.

Conclusion: Administrators, if you are really to block contributors for such edits, I believe topic bans conditions should be specified much more clearly than they are specified now. For example, it should be said somewhere: "Do not edit anything that has a word from your topic ban description. For example, if you are topic banned on I/P conflict, do not edit any article that has word "Israel" in it. Blocks should not deepened on what admin is active at the moment and what mood he/she is in. Contributors, if you are topic-banned, for example, on I/P conflict do not edit anything that has a word "Israel" in it even, it has nothing to do with the conflict itself. You might get unfairly blocked for so called topic ban violation.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

AE block

To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked for a period of 48 hours from editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read our guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block.  Sandstein  16:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Notice to administrators: In a 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

This is in reaction to your topic ban violation at .  Sandstein  16:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Block analysis

I was blocked over this edit. As you could see it had absolutely nothing to do with I/P conflict and was only concerning[REDACTED] user page policies. It was made at AE appeal issued by a user, who was unhappy that a hate propaganda image he displayed at his user page was removed. Did I violate my topic ban by citing[REDACTED] policies in my own section without mentioning any specifics about removed hate propaganda image. I do not think so, and other topic banned users were not sanctioned in the similar situations.

Conclusion: Admins, what I like about being blocked by Sandstein is that he always provides the differences for the block rationale in block log and in block message. It is a very good practice, and every blocking admin should do the same thing. Contributors, once again, even you believe your edit is not a violation of your topic ban, it is better to be safe than sorry.--Mbz1 (talk) 01:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

June 2010

To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked for a period of 72 hours from editing . Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read our guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block.  Sandstein  12:53, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

This concerns your third violation of your Israeli/Arab conflict topic ban, at and . Continued ban violations will lead to longer blocks and/or an extension of the ban.  Sandstein  12:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

block analysis

It was my last block for so called topic ban violation for two non disruptive edits on user's talk pages. Was it fair? Well I have seen other topic banned users made multiple comments on an user's talk pages and did not even get warned. As I said about my block for Rothschild family's edit, blocks should not deepened on what admin is active at the moment and what mood he/she is in. The conditions of topic banns should be specified much clearer than they are now.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked for a period of forty-eight hours for violation of the three-revert rule on Art student scam. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator. For alternative methods to appeal, see Misplaced Pages:Appealing a block. -- tariqabjotu 21:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

This block was unfair.I did not violate any condition of my ban--Mbz1 (talk) 02:25, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Brief block / disruption

All of User:Factsontheground, User:Gilisa, and User:Mbz1 are blocked briefly (12 hours) for disruption for recent behavior in thier editor conflicts.

I am going to be proposing a permanent interaction ban and possibly other topic bans on ANI immediately after posting these notices.

Georgewilliamherbert: you seriously need to be kicked off this site. Clickpop (talk) 08:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Agree. --Mbz1 (talk) 00:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Block analysis

Extremely unfair block with no differences for a block rationale provided. I was blocked over few comments on AN/I. In a worst case scenario ban on AN/I might have been in order. I full site block - no a way.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

February 2010

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for violating WP:BLP at as explained at my talk page. Please stop. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below.  Sandstein  00:02, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I am proud of this block. I am fighting for the right cause! The block only proves one more time my point that Misplaced Pages is non-censored only from one side. To call European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights its working definition for antisemitism and Simon Wiesenthal Center and original research seems kind of strange. Oh yes, and I do not think I could ever stop to call the things with their real names.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:10, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
And how dare you to say that I am "mainly here to fight an ideological battle and not to improve Misplaced Pages" only because I called an anti-Semite "an anti-Semite" and wrote his name in small! It is he, who was brought here to fight an ideological battle not me. --Mbz1 (talk) 00:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)


blocked

Straight off your interaction ban, you began wantonly hounding that editor and others, again. I have blocked you for one week, owing to harassment and disruption. If, when this block lifts, you carry on with this behaviour, your next block will be much longer. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:32, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

So you blocked me for a week for a bad faith report! It actually was not a bad faith report and it was not intended as a harassment. I really found this strange that a user will react the way they did on AN/I report that should have never been filed in the first place. I do not find it strange anymore, if even admin reacted the way she did. BTW may I please ask you to review what is wikihounding: Wiki-hounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Misplaced Pages. (highlighted by me) Now, when you have learned what is wikihounding please provide some examples of me ever wikihounding anybody. Please also provide examples of PA and disruption that were worth blocking for a weak or even for an hour for that matter.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the ANI thread speaks for itself. Meanwhile Prodego warned you to stay away from that editor earlier today. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
I am sorry, but I cannot find any differences of me wikihounding or personally attacking somebody or anybody. Could you please be so kind and provide the exact differences of me wikihounding and personal attacking somebody. Please just take them from that very AN/I report and post them here. --Mbz1 (talk) 19:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Honestly this AN/I report and the block look more and more as witch hunt, and witch hunt it is.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:13, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
  • See the ANI thread which you linked to in your unblock request, along with this hollow arb enforcement request and the meaningless CU report I linked to above. If you don't understand what you've done, there may be a need to lengthen your block. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:15, 23 December

2010 (UTC)

And who decided that it was "this hollow arb enforcement request" You did? Let me see. On 17:35, 23 December 2010 that AE was first mentioned on AN/I. On 18:28, 23 December 2010 you blocked me after on 18:21, 23 December 2010 you made this edit ? So when you read the AE report and came to conclusion it is hollow? I do not believe you ever read it. I still see no evidences of wikihounding and or personal attacks. I do not believe you should keep your administrative tools.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

About so called "hollow AE request": Less than a month later User:Supreme Deliciousness was blocked for 24 hours and topic-banned for 2 months. So, my AE was not "hollow" after all.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:36, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


Gwen Gale, don't worry. I am not going to post unblock request or/and appeal the block. I have done nothing to be blocked for, and you still did not present any differences to support the claim of wikihounding and personal attacks because the above differences are not personal attacks .
I have never done anything in purpose to harass and/or wikihound anybody. I was wikihounded and harass way too much myself to do this to anybody. This SPI I filed could have been filed as a mistake, in a hurry, but it was not filed in bad faith and it was not filed to harass anybody. I myself was the subject of 2 SPI with much less (practically no evidences) They both were approved, were run, came back as "unrelated" and nobody ever got even warn over any of them leave alone blocked. --Mbz1 (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
This block isn't about guilt Mbz1, it's about things you have done which stalled building the encyclopedia by wasting the time of volunteer editors on this privately owned website, with all its flaws. Gwen Gale (talk) 20:31, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Since you've edit warred over a misleading template at the top of this page, I have locked you out of your talk page. You can ask to be unblocked by email, through WP:BASC. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:01, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Indef-blocked by Gwen Gale Rd232 12:51, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

My analysis of the block. I hope it might help some users and administrators.

After a complaint that should not have been filed in the first place about me was filed on AN/I, and User:Prodego warned me they should have archived this complaint on AN/I and mark it as resolved. It was not done, that promoted a few trolls and my personal hounds to pick it up a some time after I was warned. At that time I felt threatened because the trolls brought up my communications with another users that had nothing to do with initial AN/I thread, and none of which required any administrative assistance whatsoever. The three users were canvased notified about the thread. Two of those three were decent enough to ignore the canvasing notifications. The blocking administrator was canvased. At that point I was sooo surprised how an elephant was getting created out of a fly that I filed an SPI request. It should not have been filed of course, but it was not filed to harass anybody. I filed it with the only purpose to protect myself. I was refused in Assumption of the assumption of good faith. At that point I got blocked for a week. I should not have been blocked even for a minute. A single(even wrong SPI) and a single a few words post on AN/I with no PA in a thread started by someone else (not me) should not have resulted in the block ever. If User:Prodego marked AN/I about me (that should not have been filed in the first place) as resolved and archived it nothing like this would have happened.

Conclusion: Administrators, if you acted on AN/I report, mark it as resolved and archive it. Do not feed up the trolls and wikihounds, who hardly wrote an article, but are spending lots of time on administrative noticeboards. The contributors, never take a bait.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:57, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Wow. I consider you an awesome photographer. You must love to travel! Next time, (hopefully you can do this), you travel to South America, you really ought get an image of a Goliath Birdeater. Although, it is EXTREMELY scary, I've always wanted to know someone who has taken a photo of it.

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Welcome back! Also, thanks for the barnstar. I think you deserve one of these too, for this particularly kind and civil conversation with a new user.

Hi Mila, as you probably already know, Earth's shadow got 19.9k views on Oct 26th while it was a DYK! Invertzoo (talk) 13:56, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I did. Thank you for your great help.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:30, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes but you take the lion's share of the credit for putting together the article with your excellent image, and also most important, thinking of the idea in the first place! I did not even know what these colored bands were until I read the article!
By the way, when I was at Long Beach, Long Island 2 weeks ago, the same beach where I saw the superior mirage on the horizon a while ago, this time I saw an inferior mirage in the distance below Staten Island, which was on the horizon. I never saw an inferior mirage over the ocean before. I have learned a lot from you, Mila! I did not have my binoculars or a camera with me, but I will try to take them next time, although as I said before, on my regular camera the telephoto function does not give very much magnification at all. Anyway, thanks and good wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 19:53, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, Susan! Such comments from such a great person and such a great, respectful editor as you are keeping me going on Misplaced Pages. I'm looking forward seeing some of your images. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
You are very welcome Mila. I showed my husband some of your photos yesterday (the ones on your subpage) and he said that they are National Geographic quality. I agree. And by the way, it turns out that Earth's shadow got another 6.3k views on 27th October, so that makes a total of 26,200 views! I will put it on the "over 20,000" list. Invertzoo (talk) 22:52, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, Susan!--Mbz1 (talk) 01:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
You are welcome. And by the way, you now have your name on 4 out of the top 43 most-viewed DYKs so far in WP history. Only User:Materialscientist has as many as you in that list. I have 3, of which 2 of them are thanks to you. Invertzoo (talk) 19:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Oh, Susan, I am an absolutely unique editor on Misplaced Pages I am trying to be the first in everything I am doing:
The images I upload are one of the best ,
The articles I start are the most-viewed ...
My block log is one of the longest on Misplaced Pages but I hope that my blocking administrators will see this thread,realize how good I am, and will block me never again
But on a serious note, Susan, most of the articles I started would have never got finished without your generous help, including my favorite Fata Morgana (mirage). I am so lucky I found you!
Best wishes, and thank you for everything.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:08, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
It is an honor to work with someone who is such a fine photographer, and one who is interested in so many different kinds of subjects! Invertzoo (talk) 16:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
