RFI

The result of someone going to RFI should not be that they decide to stop editing the article because of disruptive editing. [1] —Centrx→talk • 17:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the problem there was that this wasn't a regular contributor to the article. I've replied in more detail at the RFI. Durova 00:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IP blocking

No IPs are not blocked indefinitely unless it is an open proxy, and even that is not a permanent case. Most people have connections such that if they disconnect and reconnect they will be assigned a new IP. Even IPs where this not the case are re-assigned from time to time and would generally never warrant blocking for more than a year. Any time you block an IP indefinitely, it means that many people will not be able to edit and that some other admin is going to have to deal with it and unblock it. —Centrx→talk • 18:28, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With problematic schools, I have been blocking them for some long period of time (most recently: until February 2007), but anon. only (and disallowing account creation), with a message like: "Vandalism. If you would like to contribute to this encyclopedia, you may create an account at home and use it at school.". —Centrx→talk • 18:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed for more continued reverts

Durova, I have rewritten what I believe is a very neutral, organized and well researched article on the Midnight Syndicate topic, and just a few hours later it was reverted again by the same previous users that had been blocked before. I have given my reasons and all references on the talk page, while the other users have not provided valid reasons for reverting to an inacurate history and self-promotional version of the article. Plus they keep making personal attacks, and though slight digs now, it may escalate as in the past. I really need another unbiased viewpoint on this. Thank you.

The best help I can offer is to suggest WP:RFC. I've actually gone the extra mile and opened the request for you, so please summarize your position on the article talk page. Best wishes, Durova 03:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
