Welcome!

Hello, William Sommer, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Don't copy and paste whole conversations to other pages -- just link them. Copying and pasting them, as with your overly long and pointless rants, is just plain disruptive and incompetent. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:55, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Do not post

Do not post on my talk page again. ClaireWalzer (talk) 05:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:ClaireWalzer. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Jim1138 (talk) 08:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC) as "othe") date your tags with appropriate markup (ie. date=2015 rather than "dated=April 2015" (sic)). Many thanks, ClaireWalzer (talk) 18:54, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

You seem to have forgotten your previous abrogation to communicate with me and I do not feel competent to do what you ask so can only do what it is that I can to identify such mistakes.William Sommer (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Wow. That's clearly a typo of the word "other". Maybe you could just go and fix that? And yeah, you need to use "date=" rather than "dated=". — Jeraphine Gryphon  20:21, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Are you even looking at what you're doing before you add the tag? — Jeraphine Gryphon  20:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

ClaireWalzer--you should have opened a new section instead of changing what is the record.William Sommer (talk) 17:40, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

That Claire changed the title shows that she is trying to assume good faith from you. That you changed it back shows that you are not assuming good faith (part of the reason you were blocked before). Also people are allowed to alter their own comments if they have not been responded to yet, and you are allowed to remove those comments if they are on your talk page, but you are not allowed to not alter the comments of others. I highly recommend changing it back, or it will be added to a case that you should be indefinitely blocked. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:42, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

No, what has happened does not work that way and you above all should know that regardless what wants to be changed. You cannot say that the Romans wish that they never crucified Jesus as an entendre to bringing him back to life. To say more is just to support your previous assessment that anything I said was a rant.William Sommer (talk) 17:54, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Order of events:

1) Claire used the original heading.

2) Claire almost immediately changed the heading she added, as is her right according to WP:REDACT, in an attempt to show good-faith.

3) You changed what she wrote, which is forbidden by WP:TPO, in a petty attempt to assume bad faith (unless you meant to imply that your edits were vandalism).

If there is something wrong here, you need to present WP:DIFFs or cite policies, instead of trying to compare yourself to Jesus. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:01, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

There is much that she could redact and didn't and to be selective is just taking a technicality to make something disappear. This is not a game of technicalities as you and other more authoritative administrators seem to relish. This is what has happened and that is restored with my move. If she wants to attempt a change then do it with a new section. You have decided what you want to do long ago and the talk page discussions show this so go ahead and use this as a confrontation personality. It just supports my finding that WP administrators that find contributors not to their liking do what they can to eliminate them. You may not agree with this and will present it as hostile but that is your decision to persist and the ClaireWalzer contributions record clearly shows that I seem to be that editor's sole interest. Changing it back to what was there is not bad faith and is not hostile although you view it that way to support your view and influence.William Sommer (talk) 18:10, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Your concerns about preserving the record are ludicrous since that's what the talk page history is for. The only reason to alter Claire's words would be to parade around the initial statement and deny the redaction.

IP address

Hi there - now that you are editing from a named account please can you stop editing from an anonymous account as well? GiantSnowman 15:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Editing from both a named account and an anonymous/IP account (i.e. logged out of your named account) could be construed as wp:sockpuppetry. Please be careful. Jim1138 (talk) 16:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I have nothing to be afraid of so please refrain from unjustified acts on behalf of WP authority. I do not expect you or any one else to appreciate my stance and certainly I have better things to do than sock puppetry; another term so loosely used by WP'dians in the know. Interesting that characterization assassinations are so non-repulsed on complain boards let alone purported statements of fact based on prejudices. I have held the opinion and will continue to hold the opinion that whatever is needed by WP to protect it's interests will be metered out by its hierarchy.William Sommer (talk) 16:41, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I think it is time to engage in a little self-reflection. You have accused almost everyone here of one type of bias or another, but what about your use of the term "WP'dians"? The use of that term could be consider derogatory towards Native Americans. --I am One of Many (talk) 19:09, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

You're kidding, right?— Jeraphine Gryphon  20:10, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

My very sentiments. It is just part of the barrage that comes with the environment right now with the board discussion. I just add it up to being the flavor of the week.William Sommer (talk) 22:41, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Why not apply it to all 'dians since the example was clearly for WP. It never said or implied as you would like for it to be characterized as such. Why not have one of the Native American group comment on your behalf.William Sommer (talk) 19:33, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Further vandalism

Welcome back to Misplaced Pages. Please do not add misdated "clarification needed" tags to typos, but either: a) ignore the typo b) correct the typo and (if you really feel the need for clarification of a word such as "othe") date your tags with appropriate markup (ie. date=2015 rather than "dated=April 2015" (sic)).
