Request concerning Nableezy
At administrator's discretion
The editor is just out of their yet another topic ban and back home to pattern of WP:DE. While in topic ban the editor did not produce any significant contribution to the project. The editor disregards civility and engaged in slow motion WP:EW denying WP:Consensus and WP:BRD as appropriate WP:DR procedure, which might appear as WP:GAMING. The disruption which spells WP:IDHT is across multiple articles in I/P topic area, though I have gathered diffs for Ramot and Quds Day article, where East Jerusalem is pushed as a fact into the lede. I am involved in Ramot. EJ is pushed as a fact location, where actually the source used as ref "They began planting neighborhoods such as Ramot Allon on annexed West Bank land..." says West Bank.
Long discussion follows, during which the editor prefers to discuss contributors and not contribution. Finally stating: BRD is an essay, it has no special status that allows you to choose the lead. "No consensus" is not a valid reason to revert. I ask again, do you have any sources that contradict the many sources that say the settlement is in EJ? The final revert WP:ES is typical: this is silly, you havent given any sources disputing any aspect of the lead. brd is not a tool to filibuster any movement of the article Similar edit pattern could be seen at Quds Day, where I have never been involved, the editor is pushing East Jerusalem into the lede.
Long discussion, involving 3rd opinion intervention, the discussion is disregarded. Notification to editor of this discussion Due diligence: Initially I've been WP:SPA and have WP:EW history at Gaza War with editor in question. Topic ban which since expired helped me to realize I've been lame and helped me to contribute more constructively to Misplaced Pages
Initially it appeared as violations of I/P policy, but later the editor commented on the talk page, they probably forgot. To me, this history spells WP:IDHT and WP:CIRCUS. Bottom line there is such thing as WP:DE, so I clearly support User:Cla68 observation and suggest to widen the topic to GH article or maybe even wider. Do I dare to say whole I/P area? Otherwise I would not be surprised, based on previous history, to see the discussed editor starring on this page again and again, maybe be in a role of a user who is submitting this request for enforcement or as a user against whom enforcement is requested. I'll pull up a chair and start some popcorn first though - it would be a good show. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 07:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Discussion concerning NableezyStatement by NableezyAt Quds Day, I went and asked for the 3rd opinion. That 3rd opinion backed my position and I made one further revert. The revert was re-reverted and the author of the 3rd opinion reverted back to my edit. To say I "disregarded" the 3rd opinion is so blatantly dishonest that I cannot think of a way of describing that statement without making a personal attack. At Ramot, Agada has been filibustering, without cause or sources, the inclusion of a statement that has 5 reliable sources listed on the talk page backing it up. The user also reverted an entire section on the legal status of the settlement () despite the consensus at IPCOLL on this very issue. The user has been doing almost nothing at that page except for reverting based on "no consensus" and "brd" (eg , , ). Despite several requests for a single source backing his position (eg , ) the user has declined, instead choosing to say BRD and no consensus. These bad faith maneuvers to disrupt the progress of creating an encyclopedia article should not be tolerated. The user refuses to discuss the actual issues, instead choosing to rely on any guideline that supports his quest to remove any material he personally dislikes. The fact is I have provided several sources for each of my edits. Agada has, instead of looking for sources that dispute mine, has chosen to stick his fingers in his ears and yell out NA NA NA NA I CANT HEAR YOU and revert without cause. nableezy - 18:40, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Cptnono, casting aspersions without evidence is a personal attack. I object, strenuously, to the backhanded swipe made without a shred of evidence of sockpuppetry on my part. Your "most problematic" set of edits
Cla, this isnt a revert, this is me restoring a tag. You are left with 3 reverts over a week. Please look at Agada's "contribution" to the talk page. It consists of one of two things, misuse of a source or repeating the mantra BRD and no consensus as a means of filibustering. You cannot compare our contributions. Of course Agada supports your proposal, the reason he does all this is to have me banned. It does not matter to him if he is likewise banned, so long as I am then he did what he sought out to do. His purpose here is to filibuster any material that he dislikes, and he sees an effective way of doing that by having me removed. nableezy - 13:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC) Tim, I understand your frustration, but believe me, it pales in comparison to my own. I dont know what else I am supposed to do. I am hounded from article to article by a collection of sockpuppets, accounts that barely understand clear English (or at least feign to not understand for the purpose of stalling), ones whose sole purpose is to filibuster any change I make, and ones that willfully make things up out of thin air and say no when asked for sources. I no longer edit war, I try to be as civil as I possibly can, I make edits that are supported both by the sources and the policies of this website. What else would you have me do? Just give up and leave them to it? The reason there are regular requests for enforcement against me is simple. I am effective at adding content that the "pro-I" group would rather not include. But because I add this content with reliable sources it is difficult for them to give an honest argument for removing it. So the easier route to stop the inclusion of such content is to have me removed. To illustrate the point, how many enforcement threads have been opened against me that resulted in no sanctions? How many have been opened by accounts later shown to be socks of banned editors (and I have no doubt the one recently archived will soon be added to that list)? I am repeatedly brought here on the most trifling of charges, often on completely spurious grounds. Asinine accusations, such as the one below of sockpuppetry, are routinely made without evidence. But all these charges add to the perception, rightly or wrongly held, that I am the problem. That without me the topic area is "better". If by "better" one means that it is easier to ignore the Palestinians and present a slanted account of their history, when not completely denying it, then sure that part is true. But if by "better" one means that the articles reflect the policies of WP, such as NPOV and V, then that is emphatically not true. If you tell me what exactly you think I am doing wrong I will correct it immediately. But dealing with the type of bullshit that I regularly see from some of the editors commenting here makes me much more frustrated than I could imagine you being. nableezy - 16:37, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Comments by others about the request concerning Nableezy
Just a month ago I would not have argued about banning a user for using the word "trolling", but another editor was banned for doing just that Should we be consistent here? While the differences presented in Mbz1 case were collected over a few months I'd like to bring your attention to two differences for the last 2 days made just a few week after user:Nableezy prior topic ban expired. user:Nableezy has been repeatedly warned over uncivil comments he made. Let's see his reaction: Another "crime" for what Mbz1 was topic banned was described by user:passionless as "Inability to work co-operatively . Here is a similar example by user:Nableezy. I am not saying user:Nableezy should be sanctioned over the differences I presented. I am simply looking for some consistency. Broccolo (talk) 20:23, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
I suggest article-banning Nableezy and AgadaUrbanit and I think the current conflict problems with that article will largely evaporate. Cla68 (talk) 04:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement action appeal by Nableezy
Appeal unsuccessful. After more than one week of discussion, it is clear that there is no "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" sufficient to overturn the sanction at issue. T. Canens (talk) 04:27, 18 May 2011 (UTC) |

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found in this 2010 ArbCom motion. According to that motion, a "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action. To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sections but should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see WP:UNINVOLVED).
Statement by NableezyAGK uses as evidence of me "gaming" my asking for a third opinion at WP:3O about a dispute. He says that because no other users were involved the 3O is a valueless exercise, and at worst an attempt by Nableezy to gain some pretence of validation for his edit. Of course there were only two editors involved, why else would I ask for THIRD opinion. To use my using a proper DR procedure as cause for topic banning me is ludicrous. Next, AGK identified 4 reverts that took place over the course of a week. The first of those "reverts" was not a revert, it was in fact one of my first edits to the article in some time. I challenge AGK to say what edit this "revert" reverted. That leaves 3 reverts over a week. A two month topic ban for making 3 reverts in a week is not justified. I did exactly what I was supposed to do at Quds Day, instead of continuing to revert, I went through DR. In fact, WP:DR contains the following advice: If you need neutral outside opinions in a dispute involving only two editors, turn to Misplaced Pages:Third opinion. At Ramot, yes, perhaps I made more reverts than I should have. However, the other user, Agada Urbanit, was completely ignoring the sources and misrepresenting the one that he had. When it was shown that the source he was claiming supported his view (the Israeli NGO B'tselem) actually explicitly contradicted his view he simply reverted again under the guise of there being "no consensus". I admit, I have little patience for such bad faith filibustering tactics. But since that time, and before this sanction, I have opened an RFC on the issue. AGK has completely ignored the bad faith actions by the filer of the above request for enforcement and has sanctioned me on the basis of me properly following DR on Quds Day and making 3 reverts over a week on Ramot. It is true, I have been sanctioned a number of times under ARBPIA. I have only appealed once, the one time that I felt that the decision was completely unwarranted. I feel that this decision is likewise completely without merit and request that it be lifted. nableezy - 21:37, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Ed, I would like you to clarify your statement. You say the original report shows enough reverts by me to show I was placing back my preferred position. Are you referencing Quds Day or Ramot, or both? On Ramot, 3 reverts over a week while multiple sources were provided backing my position and the other reverting editor providing none supporting his is enough to show that there was both "no consensus" and that I was simply putting back my preferred position? How are you defining "consensus"? nableezy - 20:32, 11 May 2011 (UTC) Re Ncmvocalist. Yes, opening an RFC is what I should have done from the start. The reason I did not is because this is a manufactured dispute that should not need an RFC, anybody who looks at the sources should be able to come to that same conclusion. When users refuse to provide sources backing their position, or when the sources they do provide are shown to not back their position, I dont consider their objections as having any merit. Everything that happened at Ramot was predicated on filibustering, or, as George put it, bureaucratic bullshit. I dont deal well with bullshit. My offer to AGK to abide by a 1RR/week was not meant to say that I am entitled to revert once a week, but rather to make it so I have to open RFC and other such processes to deal with such nonsense instead of reverting. Ill go through these processes if it is necessary, but yall should understand that what happened at Ramot was caused by inane arguments by those insisting on ignoring the sources with the sole purpose of impeding me at that article. The same user has done this at a number of other articles, always reverting because of "no consensus" where he takes "consensus" to mean that if says "no" there is "no consensus". nableezy - 13:05, 12 May 2011 (UTC) This is clearly going one way, so there is little need to continue. But I would like to make clear a few points. I am given a two month topic ban for 3 reverts in a week on one article. The reverts at Quds Day cannot be used as justification for this ban, I did exactly what WP:DR says to do. If I am to be sanctioned for that then there is no point to any of this; all that is left is 3 reverts over one week at Ramot. Im cool with two months off, but know I that I will use this as the baseline for future AE reports. An editor makes that many reverts in a week and they should be subject to similar sanctions. Yall make the rules, thats fine. But be prepared to enforce those rules for everybody. Starting with the users who were also reverting at Ramot and Quds Day. I say AGK, hows that review going anyway? Feel free to close this out, aint much of a point in keeping it going. nableezy - 19:15, 13 May 2011 (UTC) Cptnono has repeatedly made false and disparaging comments about me, and has repeatedly made accusations without diffs, and on an administrative board no less. I am fed up with reading that bullshit without responding, could an admin please inform this "editor" that such behavior is not acceptable? Unless of course you all would like to see how I respond to some fool saying I "breed cancer". nableezy - 13:57, 17 May 2011 (UTC) Statement by AGKI did not say that Nableezy "gamed" the 3O; I said that that could be a motive for his continued reversion with that flimsy thinking. Nableezy says nothing of his two serious arrays of reversions, which is telling of the baseless nature of this appeal. Nableezy also cites the "the other party did as much wrong as me" argument, which first does not mitigate his own conduct, and second ignores my stated intention to evaluate the conduct of the other editors within the next few days. These sanctions are as warranted as the previous ones on Nableezy were. AGK 22:04, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Statement by GeorgeNot sure if I'm considered involved. I was part of some of the discussions on the Ramot article talk page with Nableezy and AgandaUrbanit, and also edited that article. I haven't read the entire conversation above, and just noticed that Nableezy was topic banned for two months. I can't comment on the Quds Day article, as I haven't checked the diffs and wasn't involved in that discussion, but I have been witness to the Ramot article discussions and reverts. The first point I'd like to address is AgandaUrbanit's contention that Nableezy made a bold edit, inserting "East Jerusalem" into the article on April 30, 2011, which was then reverted. This isn't completely true. Here is a version of the same article from two years to the day earlier, which states:
Here's the version of the same article from three years to the day earlier:
So the concept that this is some new, bold change Nableezy had reverted is somewhat flawed. Now, let's consider who reverted Nableezy first. The editor in question is named Editorprop. They have made 142 total edits, 66.2% of which were to this very article. They are the very definition of a single-purpose account in my book, and I largely question their neutrality. Who subsequently reverted Nableezy? AgandaUrbanit. His reason? "No consensous for this edit, please discuss on talk page." Nableezy's response? To try an alternative. The result? That too got reverted, and there was indeed lots of discussion on the talk page, which led to an ongoing RfC. But let's take a step back for a moment. What's really going on here, and who's to blame? Nableezy makes an edit, and a relatively new editor, Editorprop, reverts it. Nableezy reverts them, and Aganda reverts Nableezy, citing no consensus. In my opinion, there are a few problems with this series of events:
If action was deemed necessary, I would have expected to see all three editors given similar punishments (and, to be clear, it would be a punishment - I don't view this sanction as preventative). And that punishment should have been far less severe than this sanction. But what action should have been taken here? None. There was a lot of good discussion going on with all three editors, and Nableezy opened an RfC on the issue (which is 5 to 1 in his favor at the moment). It would have eventually worked itself out, and while we might have been going in circles for a while, there wasn't any foul, and the conflict didn't appear to be escalating. Just my two cents, anyways. ← George 06:52, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Statement by RolandRMoved from uninvolved section; see Misplaced Pages:ARBPIA for involvement in the topic area.
Statement by Al Ameer sonMoved from uninvolved section; contributions from May 3 to May 10 (as a sample) indicate he is involved in the topic area.
Statement by ZeroDisclosure: I have been editing the Middle East section of Misplaced Pages since 2003 (must be a bit of masochist, eh?). Nableezy wanted to write that Ramot is in East Jerusalem. Where else is it? The fact is that the vast majority of sources agree with Nableezy and hardly any disagree. It isn't a matter of Israeli opinion versus the rest, either, since most Israelis would also agree that Ramot is in East Jerusalem. What is really going on is that some of the Israeli right wing persuasion want to suppress use of the common place names East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem because they might hint to the reader that "Jerusalem, unified forever" is not the whole story. It may well be that Nableezy could have handled this better than he did, but on the other hand he was trying to write an article conforming to the rules while his opponents were not. I suggest that the penalty be greatly reduced and that his editing opponents receive at least the same. Zero 09:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC) Statement by Sean.hoylandAGK, if your decision had a clear and reasonable rationale I don't think you would get an eminently reasonable and sober minded editor like George spending the time to add a detailed analysis which I sincerely hope you read. It accurately describes the state of affairs upon which a clear and reasonable decision could have been made. The validity of an argument or objection isn't a function of the degree to which an editor is involved or uninvolved. Editors aren't allowed to grade the validity and policy consistency of content arguments on talk pages based on the degree of involvement in an issue according to things like nationality/ethnicity/political views etc. They have to address the arguments themselves. Since you have the privilege of being an admin surely that obligation applies to you here even more than non-admins ? I'm involved in the topic area, although not the articles in question, but I can't see any possible justification for a topic ban based on the actual events that transpired. If a few reverts over a week is now the state of edit warring and disruption in the I-P topic area there has been an impressive improvement and people should be being encouraged not punished. People can say whatever they want about Nableezy but as a process he tries to increase the degree of policy compliance in articles by actually making sure that content complies with mandatory policy by using policy based arguments and reliable sources. A topic ban will not result in an improvement of article content. Quite the opposite. We shouldn't be encouraging the manufacturing of controversies via talk page disputes when there isn't really a controversy in reliable-source-world by punishing editors who try to build an encyclopedia based on policy. If Nableezy were editing the same way in the evolution topic area where there is zero-tolerance for POV pushing, fringe views, unreliable sources, non-policy based arguments on talk pages, content edits that don't comply with policy etc, no one would bat an eyelid and he certainly wouldn't be topic banned. Sean.hoyland - talk 10:00, 11 May 2011 (UTC) re: Ncmvocalist's comment at 10:57, 12 May 2011. With respect Ncmvocalist, I think you're missing the point a bit. The key point as far as I'm concerned is that an editor shouldn't be put in a position where they have to make a revert over silly things like where Ramot is in the first place and they shouldn't have to post an RFC to ask whether Ramot is partly located inside the spatial object that is referred to by reliable sources as "East Jerusalem". It is, as a simple matter of objective spatial positioning, partly inside East Jerusalem just like the Portland metropolitan area is partly inside Washington state. It's this kind of thing that shows how out of touch with reliable-source-reality things have become in the I-P topic area and how editors are being forced to jump through hoops that shouldn't be there to write articles based on reliable sources according to policy. Not that it will ever happen, but imagine if someone were to change the description of the Portland metropolitan area from "an urban area in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington" to "an urban area in the U.S. state of Oregon". They would be reverted over and over and over again until they were either persuaded to stop or blocked no matter what they said on the talk page. Too much effort is spent trying to solve "disputes" with editors on talk pages when the dispute doesn't matter and it has no legitimacy from a policy perspective because the sources are clear. Editors need to at least be able to make edits based on policy that improve articles without getting punished for it. Sean.hoyland - talk 12:45, 12 May 2011 (UTC) Statement by BroccoloI support the ban. user:Nableezy is violating 1RR on a regular basis. Please see the article List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, 2011. The user made 3 reverts in less than 5 hours. Broccolo (talk) 20:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Statement by TiamutNableezy has been given four topic bans by two administrators: AGK and Sandstein. AGK issued his first topic ban ever , based on a report filed by a sockpuppet of banned user User:Dajudem (of the CAMERA scandal). He set it for four months and after multiple complaints about it being unwarranted, lowered it to two and blocked Stellarkid (the name of the filer) for two months (before he was ultimately blocked for being a sock). Nableezy was burdened by the sanction which has since been used as a baseline every time he has been brought to this board. Shortly thereafter, Nableezy was topic banned by Sandstein, who lifted the ban on appeal after numerous complaints about it being unwarranted. Sandstein later topic banned Nableezy for two months based on a report filed by User:Shuki which Sandstein himself described as "largely frivolous", but invoking Nableezy's "problematic record", a sanction was deemed justified nonetheless. . Now we have this topic ban, which is based on 4 reverts made at two articles over the course of a week. Ed Johnston claims this alone is enough for a two month topic ban. Really? From now on, all users who revert 3 times at one article over the course of a week, while engaged extensively in talk, adding sources, moving toward compromise wording, can be sanctioned if reported here from now on? I submit this sanction is overkill, as were Nableezy's previous sanctions. Nableezy has a lot of enemies for being persistent in bringing forth good sources to support his arguments and for hunting down socks. As Stifle once said though, if you throw enough mud it will stick. Tiamut 06:34, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Statement by AgandaUrbanitMoved from uninvolved section; see Misplaced Pages:ARBPIA for involvement in the topic area.
Response to George by CptnonoMoved from uninvolved section; see Misplaced Pages:ARBPIA for involvement in the topic area. It isn't a good thing that Nebleezy spends so much time on socks. Yes it is good that he flushes them out but it is on one side only. He has even admitted that he does it on one side only. If he actually attempted to clean up the topic area overall then it would be a good thing. But instead he spends time here and at SPI in a battlefieldesque effort. How many SPI and AE comments has he had since his return vs actual constructive edits? He is a POV warrior. Being good at using SPI to take down what he sees as an enemy is not a net gain for the project. Cptnono (talk) 07:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

- Enforcement action requested (block, topic ban or other sanction)
I am not fond of ban/blockhammer use, and whether any blocks are necessary, I leave to the discretion of AE regulars. However, action is needed to stop an editor from move warring and ignoring discussions. Further, Mibelz's incivility is problematic, as such comments directly lead to battleground atmosphere. I'd ask that 1) he is reminded and warned about civility 2) warned that move warring can lead to a block and 3) that the article in question is moved back to the long-established name by a neutral party and move-protected for the next few weeks (with no prejudice to a proper RM being started). PS. I am also open to withdrawing this request if Mibelz apologizes for his incivil comment, and self-revets himself. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Additional comments by editor filing complaint
On April 18 Mibelz (talk · contribs) moved Rebellion of wójt Albert from its stable location to Rebellion of vogt Albert without a talk comment, and with a rather uninformative editing summary. I reverted him with a more informative edit summary and as I saw no further activity on the article, I thought the matter settled. Today he moved the article again, with a hardly more informative edit summary (). I reverted him (since it was almost a month since the last revert), explained my rationale in detail on talk, and noted that explanation in my edit summary, also asking that any further moves are made through WP:RM. Less than an hour later, he reverted me again, this time with an incivil edit summary ("some Polish nationalists"). Given this unconstructive attitude (lack of discussion, incivil comments, willingness to move war) I am hesitant to revert him again, as I expect he would just revert me back - and a "move war" would hardly help. If it wasn't for the incivility, I'd likely start a 3O/RfC, but with the incivility added into the mix, I am bringing this incident here. PS. Minutes after move, an IP changed all instances of Kraków to the obsolete, old-English redirect Cracow: . In the context of the relatively recent blocks for name-reverting, this is another worrisome sign.
While I realize that AE deals primarily with editor behavior, I'd also appreciate a comment on 1) whether the article can be moved back to the stable name and move protected and 2) whether and when I can move it back so that my action is not seen as "move warring". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:29, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Note that I have explained this naming issue on talk as well, at the same time I made my original explanation regarding the article's name. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:49, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Update 2 Mibelz is still refusing to comment on talk, even after Ncmvocalist asked him to. He has, however, made several talk page comments in which he again shows bad faith: , , . His Kraków example, relevant to him edit warring about the name in the article, is contrary to WP:NCGN (note also that the article itself is at Kraków, Cracow is a redirect, and the name has been discussed on that article's talk, with the consensus still being "keep Kraków"). His latest comment shows part of his POV; but contrary to his statement he has not been reverted yet, because he even added it to the article after making the complain in question (complain, edit)! (Note, also, first, that he does not add information on Polish origin, nor that it is customary for articles to state such origin in the way he is doing it). As such I will not be surprised if he is reverted by another editor. Reviewing his edits, while it seems his contribution to chess/sports articles are usually fine, his recent contributions to historical articles, as demonstrated in this incident, are not very constructive. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 15:16, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Response to Mibelz: yes, you have "argued", in your edit summary to your second revert. You still have not replied to any of the issues raised on article's talk. And if you want to rename Kraków to Cracow, raise it on that article's talk page, although I doubt it will succeed, as this issue has been debated many times, and the consensus is to keep the article at Kraków, which, despite your assertions to the contrary, is widely used in English language. What we are trying to tell you here is that 1) you should use talk pages 2) you should be civil and assume good faith and 3) you should not engage in edit warring, and you should try to discuss issues before reverting more than once (WP:BRD). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 23:08, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Statement by Mibelz
Comments by others about the request concerning Mibelz
- I agree with EdJohnston; unless it continues, I don't think 1RR is particularly necessary either. A single incident of edit-warring on History of Kiev from a year ago and this recent incident of move-warring on Rebellion of wójt Albert (which has already been dealt with via a 20 hour block by AGK) isn't much to go on.
- Piotrus, although I was tempted to move the page back myself, I think you should proceed with the article RFC. The move-warring was strange, and it was fine to bring it here, but things cannot move forward if parties also started avoiding steps purely because of an instance of perceived incivility ("Polish nationalist"). You should ignore it and recognise that the user is obviously having trouble in communicating whatever it is he's trying to say on this matter; if there is no logic in what he was trying to say, there's no harm in getting extra input to be sure. Ncmvocalist (talk) 10:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- Have left a note on his talk here. Ncmvocalist (talk) 09:22, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- As the request below demonstrates, Mibelz has already been blocked for 20 hours for page move warring, hence this request would also have to be seen as closed. However, Mibelz, as are all editors, would be now aware that contentious edits within this area are not going to be tolerated. It makes sense to stsart with a short block (which has occurred) and then escalate it if required. Heaven forbid, I've seen editors let off multiple times for incivility in this area as of late, even after persistent warnings, it makes no sense to me to topic ban an editor due to this infraction. But make them aware that is where they are headed if they continue. --Russavia 16:33, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
I think that a merit discussion is important, not insinuations - for example: "he again shows bad faith" (Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus), or "you are ridiculous" (81.164.215.61 who renamed of Cracow in the Rebellion of vogt Albert). I have argued that "English name is Cracow, as well as Nuremberg, Munich, Cologne, Prague, Warsaw, etc., not Kraków, Nürnberg, München, Köln, Praha, Warszawa, etc."
Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus also wrote: "Reviewing his edits, while it seems his contribution to chess/sports articles are usually fine, his contributions to historical articles, as demonstrated in this incident, are not very constructive." Look at some history articles I expanded considerably (i.e. Galicia (Central-Eastern Europe), Grand Prince of Kiev, List of Ukrainian rulers, List of Polish monarchs, List of Russian rulers, History of the Jews in China, Kaifeng Jews, Shanghai Ghetto, etc.), please.
By the way, I do not intend to write how constructive are Piotrus's articles. -- Mibelz, Ph.D. 18:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- Ed, that topic ban needs to be placed both ways, on users who are changing Krakow-->Cracow and on users who are changing Cracow-->Krakow. Especially when those changes are being made under the pretense of "bypassing redirects", which should see ] being changed to ] instead of ]. Mibelz is not the only user here who is disregarding these conventions. You should be investigating that. --Russavia 16:53, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Result concerning Mibelz
- This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the section above.
- With the problematic nature of Mibelz's general approach to interaction and with his previous block for edit warring on a Digwuren-related article, I am minded to topic ban him from all such articles for about 3 months. A mentorship might do some good, but we simply do not have the resources for that—and in any case, we cannot permit editors like Mibelz to be active in contested topic areas. AGK 22:34, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Mibelz has been here since 2006 and has 18,000 edits. He has created a lot of articles, many of them on chess players. He also does a lot of work on Eastern European topics. I'd advise against a complete topic ban from Eastern Europe, but a 1RR might be considered. There is a slight language barrier, and in spite of his long record here, he may not know much about WP:Dispute resolution. There is no hint of any ethnic motivation for his recent move warring. Check his move log, which appears unexceptional except for the May 12 fight. EdJohnston (talk) 05:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- My efforts to get through to Mibelz have not been successful. I still hope to avoid having him banned from the entire WP:DIGWUREN area, even for three months. Does anyone who commented above want to propose an alternative sanction? Maybe a 1RR/year on moving articles in Eastern Europe? EdJohnston (talk) 16:09, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- A new proposal: Mibelz will be banned for three months from changing any names of people, places or things from one national variant to another. For instance, he may not change wójt to vogt, or Kraków to Cracow. He can propose these changes on the talk page, or at any WikiProject, and leave it for others to handle. This applies both to article moves and to any changes of names in article text. I will close this request soon with the above ban unless there is further discussion.

Statement by Mbz1I'd like to write an article about Israeli medical high pressure bandages please. This article is not falling under my topic ban restrictions as they were specified here There are not going to be any single word about the conflict, and I mean this.User:Gatoclass requested I consult him about my new articles, if I have a doubt about the topic. I have zero doubts, but I did ask Gato, and he eventually agreed that I could write this article without violating my topic ban. I also asked my banning administrator , and he declined my request, but kindly allowed me to ask for a review of my proposal at AE, so here I am. If I am to write the article, I will write it in my user space and present it for review before it is moved to main space. I will not touch the article and its discussion page after it is moved to the main space. I will not nominate it on DYK, and, if somebody else will I will not comment on the nomination. IMO it is important for a topicbanned editors to be allowed to write such articles in their user spaces, the articles that are not violating their topic bans at all, but might be seen as borderline. Why it is important? It is important because it teaches an editor to behave in the topic he/she is banned for. It is a very harsh punishment not to be able to edit and/or to comment on your own articles, it is very difficult not to watch what's going on there, but it does teach to be patient and more tolerant to other users opinions. May I please write this article? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:33, 12 May 2011 (UTC) Sanction or remedy that might prevent writing this article
Discussion concerning Mbz1's request
I support this request, provided that Mbz1 abides by the guidelines she herself set out above: she will only edit it in her own userspace, and will not edit it after it is in the mainspace (nor submit it for DYK or the like). The only caveat I would add is to be clear that it should only be only be moved to the mainspace by an administrator. Remember folks, this should be preventative, not punitive, and under those restrictions I see no reason to refuse this request. If we don't allow banned editors the option of structured contribution (with review) as a way to improve their behavior, we only push them to circumvent policies (like writing the article in notepad anyways, and emailing it to a friend to post). ← George 02:14, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I want to write this article for two absolutely different reasons:
My understanding of the purpose of topic bans is it is imposed to prevent an editor from causing disruptions in the topic. What are disruptions? According to this guideline disruptions are:
I hope any reasonable person would agree that there is no way to violate any of the above policies while writing a new article in one own user space. I strongly believe that any topic banned editor should be allowed to write a new article in their own user space, move it to the main space in one edit, and never touch it again while under the ban because the purpose of topic ban is preventing an editor from causing disruptions in the topic, and not preventing a constructive contributions to the topic because preventing constructive contributions to the topic is an absolute absurd, and is not good for Misplaced Pages's image.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Tim, thank you for clarification of your position. As I pointed out above there is a discrepancy between the The actual wording here, at AE request and this notice left at my talk page. The first one states that I am "topic banned from all articles and pages covered by WP:ARBPIA ...", The second one states: that I am topic banned "from all articles and discussions related to Palestine, Israel, or the Arab-Israeli conflict". I am not sure if such discrepancies are usual, if it was 2/0 intention, but why we should second guess 2/0 intentions, if HJ asked 2/0 this very question and 2/0 responded "no (the state of Israel yes, but not diamonds just because Israel exports them).--Mbz1 (talk) 16:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
There is another interesting thing on the matter of my topic ban. Please take a look at the language 2/0 used to close the request: "An argument could be made for dismissing this report with prejudice given the weak and highly inappropriate nature of the filing statement"(highlighted by me). So my banning administrator understood I should not have been banned at all, but banned me because of "consensus". I am far from saying I have done nothing wrong. I did, but I am being greatly over-sanctioned because of what I call "a name recognition" :-) The only thing I am interested in doing in this particular topic is writing new articles. So in an unfortunate case my topic ban cannot be lifted now with no restrictions as it should be lifted IMO, here's my motion to modify its conditions. I hope you find this motion to be fair, and reasonable because the proposed restrictions would completely prevent me from causing any disruptions in the topic and it is a sole purpose of topic ban.
I told Mbz I couldn't see a problem with this topic. The reason I said that is because none of the sources she proposed to use mention the A-I conflict, and, somewhat to my surprise, a quick Google search did not turn up any additional sources on this topic that mention the conflict either. I did however have some concerns about the notability of the topic, which might best be tested by an AFD. As regards the "Israeli boosterism" issue, I'm not especially concerned about that and it seems to me a stretch to consider articles about Israeli (or Arab/Muslim) achievements to be a violation of an ARBPIA topic ban. However, I am concerned about articles which deal with Arab/Muslim-Jewish relations, because it's been clear for a long time that the Arab-Israeli conflict has spilled over into this area, and I think it would be appropriate for topic banned users to avoid such articles. I also think it's inappropriate for topic banned users to make edits which portray the opposing ethnic group in a negative manner. The longer term solution for these issues might be to file a request for clarification/amendment with arbcom. Finally, I might add that I think it unhelpful to interpret ARBPIA sanctions as applying solely to article subjects rather than to edits. Lots of articles can be about a subject almost entirely outside the topic area but which touch in some respect on the topic, while at the same time it's possible to make edits which do not actually touch upon the topic to an article which is plainly within the topic area. IMO it's better to focus upon edits rather than article subjects, but certainly, topic banned users should not be authoring articles which cannot be effectively covered without mentioning the topic. I've yet to see any evidence, however, that this particular proposed article falls into that category. Gatoclass (talk) 20:34, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
I think one particular reason to grant this request is that it can serve as a test case. If indeed Mbz1 can create a good article on the subject while managing to avoid the obvious pitfalls then she will have demonstrated that she is capable of making constructive edits. One of the ongoing themes here has been that Mbz1 does in fact make lots of constructive edits (and images!) but that when she steps into the I-P battle arena, she tends to get into trouble. If she succeeds here she will have demonstrated that it is possible to separate out the controversial from the non-controversial here. With that in mind, I think HJ Mitchell's suggestion of a resolution (creating the article in namespace, etc.) is a good one.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC) Result of Mbz1's request
I have two questions. One for 2/0 and/or other admins who were in favour of the topic ban at the previous AE request and one for Mbz.
If 2/0's answer is no and Mbz's answer is satisfactory, I don't see a problem, providing one of the admins who comments on this request reads the article before it's moved to mainspace. On a more general note, I think it shows a desire to to adhere to the topic ban that Mbz has requested this clarification rather than risk violating the ban.

Discussion concerning NableezyStatement by NableezyCan somebody block this sock of NoCal? Magda el-Roumy is not in the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area. Yes, she has sung a few songs about Israel, and the things that beacon of light for all humanity has done, but most of her songs are love songs and other such things. Every single Arab singer of any import over the last 60 years has at least one song about Israel. From Abdel Halim to Umm Kulthoum, from Fairouz to Abdel Wahab. If I cant even write about Arab musicians without a sock of NoCal hounding my contributions to report me here then you might as well block me and be done with it. I did not touch any part of the article that deals with the conflict. My edit removed a link to a non-existent image. If that is a topic ban violation then Misplaced Pages as a whole is in the Arab-Israeli topic area. But really, can somebody please block this NoCal sock?

The user GoodDay has broken sanctions on an article relating to The Troubles and should be topic banned from those articles. The Troubles are defined as: any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to The Troubles, Irish nationalism, and British nationalism in relation to Ireland. The user GoodDay reverted three times within 24 hours on the article Northern Ireland, in breach of WP:1RR restrictions placed on all articles by Arbcom at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles#Final remedies for AE case related to The Troubles, which says "All articles related to The Troubles, defined as: any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to The Troubles, Irish nationalism, and British nationalism in relation to Ireland falls under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24 hour period). When in doubt, assume it is related."
Additionally, the user is a persistent low level disruptive editor. Numerous requests to edit constructively appear regularly on their Talkpage. There seems to be no awareness that their opinion should be supported by verifiable, reliable sources. Their heavy involvement in sensitive, delicate areas does not seem to be accompanied by sensitive, delicate editing e.g. despite having an extensive knowledge of WP:BISE and WP:BITASK they added "British Isles" to an article here directly contradicting their statements here, here and here at BITASK. Consequently, an extension to the topic ban should be considered to include any British related issues.

Statement by GoodDay
I messed up 'big time' on this article, even though I was trying to restore the status-quo version of that article's intro. A version which 'ironically' I oppose. I plumb forgot about the 1RR restriction on the article-in-question & so I should be blocked. GoodDay (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
BTW, the "threat" that Daicaregos mentions in his 22:52 post, was 'in fact' a typo, which I (moments later) fixed. Therefore, there was/is no threat. GoodDay (talk) 04:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Comments by others about the request concerning GoodDay
Please note that I have been contacted by User:GoodDay here, which I consider to be further evidence of their inappropriate behaviour. Daicaregos (talk) 20:18, 16 May 2011 (UTC) ... and they have continued to post inappropriately both at this page and at my Talkpage. Daicaregos (talk) 20:45, 16 May 2011 (UTC) ... and User:GoodDay continues to intimidate me. It is highly inappropriate for them to contact me while this is live.

- I would fully support Daicaregos assessment that GoodDay is a low level disruptive editor. GoodDay seems to contribute very little to this project in terms of actual content but is actively involved in what can only be described as stirring the pot. I also get the impression that he might actual want a ban... Bjmullan (talk) 20:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- I find this rather poor taste to be honest. GD has already said he'd forgotten about the 1RR, and was actually reverting (believe it or not) to get back a consensus that was 'hard won' a couple of years ago: ie to avoid more 'problems'. He was actually reverting edits that he's been arguing for for years. I don't think that was clever at all (and have told him so) but is it really something to complain about in here? Whatever people say about Goodday, there are clear nationalist agendas that (for me personally) ultimately 'counterbalance' his behaviour. If it is 'extreme' to insist as GD does that Misplaced Pages can only use the term 'country' for sovereign states, then surely it is also 'extreme' to refuse to allow the term 'constituent country', which the avowed Scottish and Welsh nationalists do. They also use their talk pages as 'Facebook' pages for talking about devolution, which I find totally inappropriate for WP. I personally think they should flipping-well put up with GoodDay's misdemeanour’s, because he really does nothing compared to what they've got away with for years imo. At the end of the day, the whole UKnationality 'area' is much more of a problem than individual mavericks like GD, or Sarah777 too. WP's inability to offer solid guidance on nationality is surely not their fault. IMO it is ultimately Misplaced Pages's - and largely for allowing these kind of 'cabals' to so-comfortably settle in and light their nightly candles. It's impossible to make progress with cabals as tight as this. 'Cabals' are the scourge of Misplaced Pages, and to my knowledge wP does nothing to even try to discourage or prevent them. Why not even attempt to deal with it? And I'd personally take this complaint a lot more seriously if somebody neutral opened it, rather than Dai Caregos, who's very much involved in it all. Matt Lewis (talk) 21:04, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- I assume Matt Lewis means me, Daicaregos, rather than a user with a similar name. I had no involvement during GoodDay's revert spree on a page with well-known edit restrictions. Matt Lewis's polemic has absolutely no relevance to this matter and is skirting very close to a personal attack. Matt Lewis has had been almost invisible on Misplaced Pages since August last year (other than to do some campaigning hoping to try to save a reservoir near where he lives), until yesterday, and can't possibly know what has been going on here over the last nine months. Daicaregos (talk) 21:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- Other than a decidely un-wikipedian template for BI, I've noticed very little changes at all. And I'm not in the smallest bit surprised either. I expect GD has been the same as ever, as I expect has it all. And if Calil is getting cheesed off, when have any one of you ever seen an admin get through all this with a smile on his face? If I've missed anything maybe you could help me get up to scratch? I actually came back for the reservoir thing (not a campaign, but to counter-balance the most obviously-made SPA company bias you'll see on WP), and noticed that Sarah's been indefinitely blocked (which should really be a warning over complaining about GD - these things can get really out of hand). Matt Lewis (talk) 21:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- While GoodDay is a long term low level disruptive editor and I fully understand Dai's frustration here it is the case that GoodDay was properly reinstating a long standing consensus position against three editors at least two of which were fully aware of the agreement. Matt goes a little over the top and we could really do with a lot less drama on this subject. I suggest that its a warning for a technical infringement if needed and also that someone keeps an eye on the page. Long term consensus positions should not be changed without agreement and this was a mediated consensus reached across four articles --Snowded 05:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- I would say I go 'to the top' sometimes. I've just seen so little change Snowded. But I could use less drama right now too - I can't seem to concentrate on different things on WP like I used to. Anyway, perhaps this could be closed, Dai? (or just left, or whatever). NI wasn't the strongest platform from which to raise your concerns at very least. Matt Lewis (talk) 11:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- I suppose this could be closed, but not by me. It should be the decision of an uninvolved administrator. It is not in my gift to allow editors to flout sanctions. As I said on your Talkpage Matt, GoodDay disregards any rules he chooses to, usually claiming ignorance, or blaming his poor memory, when challenged. He added "British Isles" to an article and 3RRed on a 1RR Arbcom restricted article all in the same week. It just doesn't stop. I have followed Snowded's suggested strategy on how to deal with GoodDay's constant disruption (noted on GoodDay's Talkpage during yet another lengthy discussion on GoodDay's behaviour): “I think the strategy is simple. Revert any trolling behaviour, report clear sanction breaking … ”. Well, three reverts, which is borderline edit-warring anyway, on a 1RR Arbcom restricted page is clear sanction breaking. It has been reported. Something should be done. If nothing happens, it sends out a clear message that sanctions mean nothing. And GoodDay's disruption will go on, and on, and on … Daicaregos (talk) 13:33, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

- About the only thing GoodDay is guilty of is treating WP like a social network and popping onto Talk pages making what are seen as pot-stirring comments - based on his own view of the world or his own opinion. This really has to stop. But I'd say he's Mostly Harmless. In this instance, he picked up the toys of the big kids, big kids got annoyed, GoodDay gets put straight. Hardly needs a sanction though. --HighKing (talk) 11:35, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- And his behaviour has come up at ANI as well. Best a independent admin closes --Snowded 11:56, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hello High King. Your characterisation of GoodDay is most uncharitable, and frankly dismissive (especially the "Big Kids" comment). GoodDay made an honest mistake, that he was in the process of reverting when "this proceeding" was initiated. He subsequently made an open and sincere apology for the mistake (one which I have faith in, by the way). You have shown your "true colours" here High King ... and they are not "good-colours" that is for sure. If you ever made a similar mistake ... see who comes here again to help you, I suspect the list will be very short indeed. ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 11:57, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Two things Armchair. First off, GoodDay and myself have had similar toned discussions recently which he found amusing. Then I stated more like the harmless spirit in a haunted house that occasionally makes its presence felt, and at worst, is mischievous. I usually think of him fondly, but occasionally I want to kick his arse. No offense given, none taken. Similarly here. The "Big kids" comment you dislike is harmless, and I'm sure the analogy isn't lost on most readers. No idea why you've a problem with it, or decided to use that comment as a launchpad to attack my character about showing true colours, whatever that's supposed to mean. Second thing. My comment was helpful to GoodDay. I didn't support any sanction in this instance. But...now that I'm reading through this and looking at the comments across multiple Talk pages left by GoodDay....
- Thinking about it some more, perhaps we have reached the point where a more serious sanction should apply before GoodDay turns into a monster. In the past I thought that GoodDay likes to be a spectator, not a participant. Sure, sometimes the comments from the sidelines will get a reaction. Then he started supporting a POV or position, but maddeningly would withdraw support if anyone questioned him, or flipflop to the other position. Then he started making suggestions or making silly analogies. Then he made the same suggestions or comments over and over, even when it had been discussed and dismissed (anyone remember the "Irish Sea" comments?). At this point, he crossed into mild disruption. But now, he's *editing* articles in topic areas that often are under various sanctions, against consensus, and on this occasion has breached a very serious Arbcom sanction. Not helpfuly editing either. Changing a sentence or phrase or word in such a way as to generate a reaction.
- But all of that could be forgiven if GoodDay had the good grace to put his hands up and agree he was wrong, or to strongly defend and argue his position. But he's done neither. He's rolled over, practically asking for a sanction and offering no defense. But more worryingly, he has made personal comments about Dai, who reported him, and has tried to garner support on other Talk pages. That, to me, is not the actions of an editor that intends to address the problem. --HighKing (talk) 12:25, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hello High King. What GoodDay does on his own TakePage is GoodDay's business. He and user Jeanne Boleyn have a great Wiki-Friendship, and I personally find reading their friendly discourse of GoodDay's talkpage a delight. If other persons do not like GoodDay's and Jeanne Boleyns friendly conversion on GoodDay's Own Talkpage, well too bad ... simply do not read it.

- What GoodDays friendship with Jeanne Boleyn has to do with this escapes me. As far as I'm aware no one has mentioned it, for good reason, it has nothing to do with what's happening here. Seriously, do you think you are helping here? Carson101 (talk) 12:49, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Agree with Jeanne, don't know what AVDL's motives are with his interventions. On this issue I'm assuming good faith and would give GoodDay the benefit of the doubt. However, I urge admins who are eye-balling this section and who will make the final decision to take note of what people are saying regarding GD's persistent, below the radar, troll like activities. Many editors have asked him over the course of many months maybe years to modify his behaviour but he refuses to get the point. Admins really have to involve themselves on his future activities. --Bill Reid | (talk) 13:26, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

It has been brought to my attention that Gilabrand (talk · contribs) has been editing as 85.65.99.40 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), per this diff. A brief review of the IP's contribution history indicates that it has been used extensively, including during two different periods in which she was subject to an arbitration enforcement block:
Further, the IP has made this edit, which is, in part, a revert of this edit by Nableezy, which violates their interaction ban.
I'm bringing this here, instead of taking actions myself, in order to obtain more views on the proper action, and allow Gilabrand to respond, if she wishes to. T. Canens (talk) 04:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

- I should like to hear from Gilabrand, but I am inclined that the last topic ban should be reset—because it was never actually served, and so there was never any benefit from the exclusion of Gilabrand from this topic. AGK 15:52, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Block or article ban.

Wessexboy first appeared on the Troubles radar almost a year ago with this edit, which is virtually (with the exception of the addition of Londonderry) a revert to a version from over a year before which included this section where a known tendentious editor had added the claim that regarding a death threat a living person had received 'subsequently many people were reported to say "couldn't happen to a nicer guy"'.
Virtually every edit he makes to the British Queen's visit article is tendentious.
- Claims that the only people alleging British collusion in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings are "Provisional Irish Republican Army and Sinn Fein its sympathisers have repeatedly alleged that members of the British security forces colluded with the loyalists", when the families of those murdered, Taoiseach Enda Kenny and a host of others who believed there are unanswered questions about British collusion are nothing of the sort. You will also see the addition of "left wing" and "anti-Monarchist" labels to Morrisey because he criticised the visit
- Removes paragraph about a government report into the bombings
- A combination of the above two diffs, addition "anti-Monarchy activist" and removal of the government report
- Adds "Trotskyite" label to Joe Higgins because he criticised the visit
- Adds quote that completely misrepresents what Gerry Adams said, claiming that he "welcomed the visit, saying "it will be a matter of considerable pleasure, not just for her Majesty but for the rest of us as well."". As both the secondary and original source make clear, what he actually said was that "he hoped the Queen's visit would lead to a "better relationship between the peoples of Ireland and Britain"", and the following paragraph in full reads "The visit by the Queen of England provides a unique opportunity for the British establishment to make it clear that this is its intention also. If this is the case it will be a matter of considerable pleasure, not just for her Majesty but for the rest of us as well." So he is talking about a better relationship between the peoples of Ireland and Britain being a matter of considerable pleasure, not the British Queen's visit. As the secondary source also makes clear, the "pleasure" part is also a reference to his detention at "Her Majesty's Pleasure".
- Adds back same quote
Their two talk page contributions are little except attacks on other editors. There is little constructive coming from this editor, so I do not believe a short block will accomplish much other than a day or so's respite before the problems start again, so I request they be banned from the article. There are very few other ways of dealing with editors who persistently make multiple tendentious edits to an article at a time when it is on the main page, since anyone wishing to revert them is hampered by the one revert restriction. Making a tendentious edit, wait for someone to revert it, make a totally different tendentious edit which that person will be unable to revert - that is gaming the system.
