Locked out

Hi. Just out of curiousity, why was I locked out of the multi-level marketing page? I made a talk discussion about the changes I made to the article, and it kept getting changed back without any discussion on my talk topic. Then I got locked out. Is there something I'm missing? What's the point of the talk section? And why was I (the one trying to discuss the change) the one locked out of editing?

Why vandalbin The King (uhuhuh)?

Seriously, he's pretty harmless, and as far as I've seen he hasn't really harassed anyone, but only "mutually trolled" those who took up the gauntlet and replied to the various obvious troll-posts.

There are charming trolls and really ugly trolls (the latter includes RW's IP Whac-A-Mole block racist anti-Semite, mikemikev). Considering the bait The King uses for his angling, I really see no huge problem with him. I mean look at the quaint whackiness of it all: Bacon and Tyler Swift(?!?)

Block of Fat Aardvark

Too excessive in time? Clyde Winters The Black Celt (Caledonia) (talk) 02:18, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Nope. It's all progression - We go from short blocks to longer term blocks via doubling when the offending behavior does not cease. The most recent doubling was for block evasion. And i had debated instead of doubling it squaring it, so you know, i was being lenient: 64 days is much shorter than, i think it was 2 and some years.

K- didn't notice it was also for evasion. Hopefully they become a useful contributor in the future. Clyde Winters the Black Roman Centurion Guarding Hydrians Wall In Scotland Against the Savage Man-eating White Celtic Britons (talk) 04:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

It's more to do that the only interest they have in coming here is to post youtube spam (which, yes, it won't actually stop, but does control the ability to do so) and to then in bad faith argue with us about it. If they were actually here to engage with us sure, but they are not. We can't in theory ban for that, so it's better to limit how much of a mess they can cause on pages with said bad-faith arguing.--"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 16:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Request for Zionism page

Hi, things have calmed down a bit in the talk section, and I've been asking if we can take a look at edits I make on a section-by-section basis in my Sandbox, and thrash it out there. I've tried to get a commitment from Avenger and Arisboch that if, after whatever discussion is had -- with an opportunity to question my claims and choices, and for me to defend them - - then that section can replace (or be added to) the actual entry. Does that sound acceptable to you?---Mona- (talk) 15:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Greenwald in CAIR article

Could you explain why you took that out? As I just posted over there:

• Once the article is unprotected, I'd add to the support and endorsements section the ACLU and some other prominent civil libertarian groups and people. RW was founded in part to counter the bullshit at Conservepedia, and the bullshit about CAIR over there is that they are a terrorist organization and not really interested in civil liberties. In my view, endorsements and awards from reputable civil libertarians provides worthwhile information to counter an insidious -- and false -- wingnut smear.----Mona- (talk) 03:10, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

"Ours" as in "RW's current version" but if you want to take me as a Zionist sure, but I have no love for Israel and would rather it go fuck off. But, you know, you can jump the gun and commit libel if you'd like, but I don't see it getting you anywhere.--"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 01:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Calling an unnamed RW sysop a Zionist is "libel?" (Your law degree is from Acme School of Plumbing and Law, yes?) Anyway, when I first joined I was super enthusiastic and saw many articles with that banner saying they needed work and documentation. So, I tweeted that anyone with time should consider joining. Therefore, I am obligated to apprise my tweeps of my actual view of things here as those views evolve. I take being told I can draft a Zionism article but a sysop has told those who oppose my views that there will be no discussion of it to be rather telling.

National Weather Service

I'm sure that at least one person may find use in having that redirect. What valid reason did you have for deleting it? The reason I ask is because there is only one organization with the name, with capital letters "National Weather Service". Can you name even one other situation where a country's national meteorological service is named, in English, "National Weather Service"? Considering that this wiki is in English, what are the vast majority of people who type in "National Weather Service" going to be looking for? In the United Kingdom, they would look for "Met Office", in Australia, they would search for "Bureau of Meteorology", in Canada, they would look for "Meteorological Service of Canada" or "Environment Canada", and so on. The only thing I can find that comes close-ish is South African Weather Service, and I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone is going to be searching for "National Weather Service" and expecting to find South African Weather Service. And how is "National Weather Service", in caps (because it is a proper noun), vague? I don't want to cause problems or anything, but I don't think your rationale is realistic. 72.198.107.13 (talk) 19:53, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Can I please decide myself how I want to organize my talk page?

All I request is for one particular derailing comment by Mona to not obstruct the main discussion. When I did this by hiding it, you had a problem with that. Thaen I put it in its own section - something which happened over at talk:Zionism numerous times without incident. And you were still not happy. Now I am de facto disallowed from editing on my own talk page. Something we usually don't even punish vandals and spammers with. Please try to step back from your own emotion a bit and try to calmly explain why I should not have the right to organize this particular diatribe by Mona (which she at first posted several times in several sections, which goes to show how much off-topic it really was) the way I please, at least on my own talk page. There have been too many fruitful, spirited or even heated discussions that were derailed by Mona. I just wanted to avoid that. Instead the end result was so much worse. If my emotions got the better of me or you misunderstood me, I am deeply sorry for any offense that may have been felt. But I only intended for a better readability of my talk page and to decrease the likelihood of Mona derailing a discussion by steering it towards BDS. Kind regards. Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 02:27, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Red bangs are for users who are not in the autopatrolled status, and are generated next to all contribs by said users, they mean "Look at this and make sure it isn't shit". In essence being autopatrolled means "you are trusted to not be insane" just like sysop means "you are trusted to not abuse" and tech means "you are trusted to not ruin davids day"--"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 03:14, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

(EC) Red exclamation marks are signals that say "hey, possible crazy alert, someone take a look". A sysop can then look and mark as patrolled, meaning "not crazy". If a person doesn't make anything crazy, they get autopatrolled and the marks no longer appear automatically. CorruptUser (talk) 03:16, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Basically, anyone who can be trusted to edit without extra attention is autopatrolled. If you lose that, it means you've lost the trust of one or more sysops (or above) which is not great of a position to be in. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 03:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

New section

(edit conflict)Just one minor nitpick concerning the Corbyn article. It was doubted by one user that neither Hamas nor Hezbollah recognize Israel nor have they ever offered to do so. That's why I took said issue to the talk page instead of an edit war. It looks to me as if even Mona - who usually supports and defends Hamas - can't say anything of substance to disprove my assertion. Hence I would advise for it to be reinstated pending anybody actually proving the opposite. Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 03:22, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

"who usually supports and defends Hamas" God, you are insufferable. Insisting on accuracy about groups you detest does not constitute supporting them. No, Blacke, I think Avenger should be autopatrolled for as long as Paravant feels it is advisable. He's caused incredible amounts of trouble here on multiple pages, and not just those pertaining to Israel. And today was outrageous, with the creation of that absurd alk Quds page all so he could inveigle some uninvolved user to embed the link in the Corbyn article and thereby circumvent his (deserved) inability to edit it himself.

It is irrelevant whether Hamas recognizes Israel's right to exist. Who recognizes any state's right to exist? States do not have rights. I mean, is the former Soviet Union going to show up at the Hague suing Russia over some right to exist? Peoples, however, have rights to self-determination. Jewish and Palestinian peoples. The entity now called Israel can continue as long as it grants either a right of return or compensation to the refugees they created and their descendants. It also must grant full and equal citizenship rights to the disenfranchised Gazans and Arabs on the West bank, and a fair Constitution that does not embed Jewish supremacism.---Mona- (talk) 03:41, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

I dislike Singapore's current government, but I'm confident that sooner or later (it might take 20 or 30 years), it will be voted out of office. And I think the people of Singapore will be much better off doing that on their own terms and at their own time than having it imposed on them by well-meaning outsiders. The second last election, the ruling party went backwards a fair bit, but still hung on to a clear majority. The election they just had, everyone expected them to go further backward (yet still win), but they surprised observers by improving their position. But I don't believe that was due to vote fraud or anything of the sort, just genuinely due to the political winds of the electorate. I expect PAP will go backwards again in the future. Now, no doubt they have gerrymandered the system somewhat to make it harder for the opposition, but I don't think they've gerrymandered it so badly that if a majority of Singapore voters genuinely wanted to get rid of them, they couldn't - and I'm confident that day will come, eventually.

Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 03:56, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

I'd go a step beyond Mona, and say I'd 100% support a return of Jewish refugees to the Arab states from which they were expelled, and I think that would do the Middle East a lot of good. Jewish immigration to the Arab states should be encouraged, because I think in the long run it would be good for all parties involved. It's so much harder to hate people when you live next door to them. I think the ethnic cleansing of the Middle East (which has been going on since 1948 and is continuing to the present) is a large part of the cause of so much conflict there today. (This isn't just the fault of Zionism and Arab/Muslim anti-Jewish sentiment, although both of those share some of the blame; Sunni-Shia conflicts, and Salafi/Wahabi/Islamist intolerance, share much of the blame as well.) Blacke (talk) 04:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Mona's tangent

Mona is currently edit warring to have a tangent inserted (citing an opinion piece in "electronic Intifada" no less) that argues that recognition of Israel does not matter. I do think all sane people will agree that no Israeli government will accept the abolishment of Israel. Hence the stance of Hamas and Hezbollah on Israel's right to exist is relevant and detrimental to the peace process. Mona's editorial is not needed on that. Thank you for your kind attention.

What does that mean? Does it mean that Paravant can disenfranchise me? Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 23:47, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Actually, it means you were never enfranchised in the first place. --"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 23:50, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Paravant, what do you mean in your penultimate post? That was incomprehensible, your English is getting quite bad. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 23:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Well I was sysop before Paravant decided to go on a rampage... Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 23:52, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Your sysopry is irrelevant to being Eligible, of which you do not meet the minimum requirements for. --"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 23:53, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Would you please explain the criteria? Otherwise I will have to throw around calls for a boycott and accusations of apartheid... Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 23:58, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Paravant, are YOU eligible? Is Alec? Can't find either on the registration. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 23:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm number 15 on the list. --"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 00:00, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I wasn't looking for that. Can I strike those who aren't eligible? <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 00:01, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Which list? Care to link? Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 00:03, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

See your talk. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 00:04, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Assuming they actually are and are not illegible solely because we maintain an obscure list. --"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 00:06, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Umm, could you please clarify that? BTW, I am number 12 on that list. Alec Sanderson (talk) 00:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Paravant, are unlisted people not illegible? <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 00:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I wouldn't discount unlisted people right away who are otherwise eligible solely because they are not on an obscure list we don't link to, no. If, when asked to sign up, they say no, then yes, they are ineligible. --"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 00:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Alright. 12 is User:Sprocket J Cogswell, is there something I'm not aware of? <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (talk) 00:16, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Zionism draft

It took a few days longer than the few days I had said, but I have put a collapsed version of the unfinished draft at the Zionism talk page and asked for consideration and feedback, with an eye toward adoption in whole or part. Thanks for your guidance on the mechanics of this effort.---Mona- (talk) 15:48, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Are you seriously believing that your hatchet piece will replace our curent coverage of this off-mission subject? Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 18:56, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Please take it to the Zionism talk page.---Mona- (talk) 19:04, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Zionism? Off mission? Ahahaha. Fuck off my talk page.--"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 19:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Please explain exactly which part of our mission statement covers our discussion of Zionism... And as it is apparently okay for Mona to go around asking other people to support her ridiculousness, I want an apology from you for blocking me for alerting people as to discussions that might interest them on their talk pages. Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 19:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I owe you no apologies. You invited v users with no stake cin the discussion, she atleast stuck to involved users. Ill punish her When I get home--"Paravant" ^{Talk & Contribs} 19:19, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I didn't do that. I alerted the other authors that I had offered the draft, and also told Paravant who had asked me to post it earlier, but I had declined. I was merely paying him a courtesy and thanking him for shepherding the project on the two different pages (without taking sides). Not "asking for support."---Mona- (talk) 19:22, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
