Thanks

Just a word of thanks for your support on my RfA - I don't know if I'm Wikipedian of the year but it sure feels like I've been the Wikipedian of the week ! Thanks again, much appreciated. Ramallite ^(talk) 03:57, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recusal

No basis exists for my recusal in the Zephram Stark case. I will not go to mediation, nor will I recuse myself if you bring an arbitration case, see Wikipedia:Wikilawyering Fred Bauder 13:55, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the above project page was created by the arbitrator the day before your exchange; I'm unsure what this means, if anything, regarding your concerns. E Pluribus Anthony 16:18, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Understood. I sometimes monitor user communications on Wp, and was intrigued by this. (Yes: though, I do have a life. :)) I merely pointed this out to you since it could be perceived by a neutral third-party as (1) an attempt to develop good Wp policy, and/or (2) a collateral, perhaps abusive and biased, attempt by an upper echelon to use one's position to sequester user commentary, particularly given this user's soon-to-be departure from the ArbComm. I hope this helps. E Pluribus Anthony 16:38, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the proposal we are currently voting on which will probably pass:

Focus of dispute

1.3) Zephram Stark engaged in tendentious (exhibiting a strong POV) and disruptive editing with respect to the article terrorism over an extended period of time, see Talk:Terrorism/Archive_6#NPOV_solutions and Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Zephram_Stark/Evidence#ZS.27s_changes_to_Terrorism.

Second block

As an uninvolved admin, I've decided to reblock you for 24 hours for continuing personal attacks like this one, right after coming back from the first block. I'm sure you don't need to be referred to WP:NPA or given a warning by now. You can still edit your talk page (if you keep it civil). Dmcdevit·t 03:28, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Syria, History of Syria, Syrian occupation of Lebanon

I think you've dealt with this user before. His name is John MCW and he keeps adding right-wing propaganda into these articles. Even though he's being opposed by three editors, he will not stop reverting it seems. Your input would be appreciated. Yuber^(talk) 01:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration candidate question

It was a perfectly appropriate question as I see trollish behavior as the number one problem impeding building the encyclopedia. There are a handful of editors (i.e. trolls) who focus on other editors (harrassing them) rather than on article contents . This kind of disruptive behavior only serves to chase away good editors and I would like to see the arbitration committee take stronger measures in dealing with the disruptive few who insist on behaving this way. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 05:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The arbcom nomination pages

Marsden, these are not attack pages, and in fact they were specifically set up to avoid the unpleasantness of last year, which no one wants. You've said your piece and you've asked a question; there's no need for any more aggression. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 21:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
