Indian Buddhist Movement

User Thegreyanomaly the article "Indian Buddhist Movement" is about Religious movement which is growing in India slowly since last 50 years. If you are anti-Buddhist we certainly don't have any objection about your religion. You can be a Brahmin-Hindu if you are a priest by profession in any temple otherwise you are a Shudra-Hindu because all non-priest i.e. non-Brahmins are SHUDRA in Hindu Religion. In Kali Yuga Hindus have only two Varna as per the religious philosophy of Hindus. If you are from India then you might be knowing that Buddhism in India was totally killed. Some blame Brahmins Or some blame Muslims for that, it is a vast topic of study. I don't want to blame anybody. Hindu Castiesm and Hindu Untouchability became very strong after fall of Buddhism in Indian sub-continent and before British came to India. Education to all non-Brahmins was banned and the rigid Hindu Religious laws made by Brahmins like Manusmriti, VishnuSmriti and other DharmaShastras became the laws to govern the non-Muslim society.

British gave education for all and broke the anti-Human Hindu Laws. After Independence Dr. Ambedkar revived Buddhism in India. He also established "Buddhist Society of India" certainly NOT Navayana Society! So there is no meaning branding the movement as Navayana. Because the founder of India's Buddhist Revival Movement which is certainly against Hindu Casteism and injustice that Hindus are doing since hundreds of years called his movement as Buddhist Movement. Also Dr. Ambedkar said that 'He will convert whole India back to Buddhism' but he was killed just within 6 weeks after his conversion to Buddhism. Some people blamed Brahmins for his death. It is not sure how he died. I dont want to blame anybody. So you can discuss current Buddhist Developments in the article "Indian Buddhist Movement". About Hindu Caste and related things you better write to Hindu Articles Or Caste Related to Articles. If Navayana is a anto-caste publication then you should put that link in Caste Related article.

In India legal system we have Hindus, Muslims, Christens and BUDDHIST as different religion. Expecially our 2001 cencus gives more details about different religions population. We dont have any 'Navayana Buddhist' in whole India neither it is recognized legally anywhere. Officially we have around 1% Buddhists in India. This population unofficially can be 4% also because thousands of people are converting to Buddhism. But lets take official figures.

Caste is a problem of Hindus certainly not the problem of Buddhists. Be a contributor to wikipedia but don't just try to vandalise different articles. Dhammafriend 09:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some blame people who think the caste system is Hindu s opposed to Indian. Sadly Muslim castes (Sayyad - high, Bhangi, etc - low) cannot even be in the same graveyard. At least Hindus ashes all flow in the Ganges.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Buddhist Movement

Hi,

I'm writing to you because I noticed that you contributed to the article and talk section of "Indian Buddhist Movement". I saw the article on the RFC page, then read the article and the talk page. I posted a lengthy analysis of the article on it's talk page and have watched it since.

I would like to invite you to read my analysis and post your opinion. This is a noteworthy topic, but it's currently incomplete and needs reorganization. The effort to improve this article has boiled down to two editors, dhammafriend and hkelkar, who are both engaging in edit wars and attacks on one another. There has been no substantial progress on this article since I first came upon it, so I'm hoping that you and other folks can come back an engage in a refocusing.

I greatly appreciate in advance anything you have to offer.

Sincerely, NinzEliza 03:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit to The Lost Tomb of Jesus‎

Just wanted to remember to you that when contributing to a controversial page such as this one you must always remember to be entirely sure and have a proper source for your edit, because in this cases an unsourced edit has a chance of ending in a whole edit war, just a friendly reminder -happy editing-Dark Dragon Flame 04:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

You're more in danger of violating 3RR than I am. I reverted the POV tag once, and your statement twice. 3RR requires reverting the same info more than three times.

Discussion over the expert comment

Thanks for the invitation to discuss, but actually, like you, I'm in agreement with Cfortunato's latest edit. If it stays that way I see no need for discussion of that paragraph at this point. Ward3001 02:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Ok then. No discussion necessary Thegreyanomaly 02:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of comments. Since the disagreement is resolved I think you should request that the page be unprotected. (And I have no plans to change the article as it is now.) Secondly, your request for protection states that "Christians have been continually citing non-statistical authorities..." How do you know if someone is a Christian? I reverted some of your edits. Do you know whether I am or am not a Christian? Please explain. I understand your request for protection, and even your disagreements with other editors. But don't make statements about other editors' religious affiliation if you don't know anything about it. It violates Wikipedia policy. And THAT is something that I will take to an administrator if necessary. Thank you. Ward3001 17:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is irrelevant to me whom specifically you targeted in your statement about "Christians." My point is that you made statements on Wikipedia about any editor's religious affiliation without knowledge of it. In effect, you were assuming that editor(s) were adding, deleting, reverting, or making other changes because they are Christian. I think that is the basis for some (but not all) of your misunderstanding editors' intentions in their edits. I make no assumptions about an editor's religious beliefs unless the editor makes those beliefs known to me. I do not change an article based on an editor's religous beliefs. I would have no knowledge of your religious beliefs except that it was stated in your comment on Cfortunato's talk page. I reverted some of your edits because I disagreed with what you were saying, not because of your religious beliefs. I completely respect your right to disagree with any editor. But I think we could make more progress in coming to agreement on some of our differences if you did not assume that those who disagree with you are Christians and are making their edits because they are Christians. Ward3001 00:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I never looked at your userboxes and never felt the need to do so, because your religious affiliation is irrelevant to whether I agree or disagree with you edits. I suspect that's the case with most editors, whether they agree or disagree with you or me. I begin by assuming good faith that an editor makes changes to the article because they believe it improves the accuracy of the article, not because they are waging a religious war. Most of the edits in the article are not a battle of Christians against atheists (or any other religious viewpoint). Apparently you feel a need to find out if an editor is Christian, and then you seem to assume that the religion of your "opponent" is what motivates their edits. And, in my opinion, THAT is the crux of much of your conflict with other editors. Please make your edits as you feel the need, but don't frame the conflicts as the Christians versus you. Thanks. Ward3001 14:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Two points. First, I did not say or even imply that you are anti-Christian. I simply said that you seem to be assuming (based on your sweeping generalization that Christians are making some of the edits, and your description of finding out that your "opponents" are Christians) that those who disagree with you are doing so because they are Christian. Secondly, if it's fair to say that you keep your "atheistic and Buddhist beliefs out of" your edits, it's only fair to say that Christians or a person of any religion can keep his/her religious beliefs out of their edits. I quite disagree with your statement that "being Christian ... will influence an individual to being, at some level, against this documentary." I have no difficulty accepting that Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, Taoist, Druids or anyone is capable of making edits for or against the documentary without regard to their personal religious convictions. Do you think you are the only person who can make unbiased edits without being influenced by personal religious beliefs? Ward3001 23:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm perfectly entitled to respond to your statements on my talk page; you have no obligation to read or respond to what I write. If you don't want me to respond, then don't write anything on my talk page. Your logic is flawed: I did not imply that you make bad faith edits; I said that I assume others edit with good faith.

You can give a final warning at any point, dependent upon the severity of the vandalism encountered. The diff linked to AIV doesn't help me very much. If you have a diff that demonstrates vandalism after several warnings on the editors' Talk page then you can use that as evidence for a final warning tag. AIV is, I believe, for the reporting of vandals who continue on their reckless course past a final warning. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Fall Program for Freshmen

A tag has been placed on Fall Program for Freshmen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jauerback 20:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Asian Capitals

Your edits to the template "Asian Capitals" consists of a double listing of Afghanistan's capital, Kabul. That seems rather rhetorical in nature, and instead should involve only a single listing under one geographic region, with a notation stating that it is sometimes considered a part of another geographic region. In the case of Afghanistan, the consensus on Wikipedia seems to be that it belongs within the realm of Central Asia, and is only sometimes referred to as geographically South Asian in passing by various English language news services. Inclusion of Afghanistan within the realm of South Asia goes against academic views on the subject, and in fact in many cases reflects a tenancy towards irredentism. As a result of this clear dispute, I am going to request an RFC on this matter. Atari400 00:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neither The American Heritage® Dictionary nor Princeton's wordnet lists them as synonyms. It is dictionary.com that lists them as synonyms.

Byzantine religion

The Byzantines were all zealous Christians by c late 6th century and much of the Empire was Christian already before Rome fell in c 480 AD. Polytheism was struck a severe blow by Theodosius ITourskin (talk) 04:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the Byzantine Empire did not consist of the western proportions for very long. In any case its the official religion that is stated. The Empire allowed Jews, Muslims and others to worship, but these were not the Empire's official religion. Catholics worshipped at Constantinople but Roman Catholicism was not the official religion. Pagans may have worshipped in the countryside in secret. Again, not an official religion. The Head of State determines the religion and the Byzantine Emperor, being the Head of state, determined it to be Orthodox Christianity. Tourskin (talk) 18:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indosphere

  • I accept only cited facts. As of yet, you have given no sources to show that Afghanistan or Baluchistan belong to your notion of an "Indosphere", or a "Greater India". I am sorry, but you seem to espouse an Indian nationalistic viewpoint that as of yet, is not backed up with sources. After all, what makes Baluchistan or Afghanistan part of an Indosphere/Greater India, exactly. That has not even been addressed. More importantly, why do you even feel the need for such an inclusion? Atari400 09:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would also point out that Balochistan (region) is neither a country nor a territory.

Go and take a look at Talk:Tibet/Archive_5#South_Asia, it is YOU who failed to convince all other editors on accepting Tibet forming part of S. Asia. And all those useless sources are hardly GEOPOLITICAL.

It's a GEOPOLITICAL topic, those "language center/cultural centers"...blarblarblar are not authoritative on this matter and thus OFF-TOPIC. (Even if it's worth mentioning, please do it only as "Reference")

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. You're at 4RR

Indian_American and language

Hello, 

   I noticed that you removed the dubious tag from Indian American's language infobox.

I read the citation See page 4, and nowhere does it say that Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati, are the three most common languages spoken by Indian American's in that order, which is what the Wikipedia article had said.

It merely says that amongst the [[Official languages of India] that aren't English, Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati have the most number of native speakers resident in the United States of America.

Urdu, and to a lesser extent Gujarati, are not exclusively spoken by Indian American's, Urdu being the official language of Pakistan. As such, many Urdu speakers are not likely to identify as Indian American, and would identify as Pakistani American instead.

Thus it is incorrect to refer to those three as the 3 most commonly spoken languages by Indian Americans.

Propaganda

Hi, TGA. Propaganda, apart from its technical dictionary definition, has a very negative connotation, and as such, whether a given work is propaganda is a matter of opinion. As such, articles should not describe such works as propaganda as a matter of fact, but only as an opinion that is properly attributed to a reliable source, as in the Criticism sections of such films. Describing or categorizing such films as propaganda is a clear violation of WP: NPOV. Please do not place that category in the films again. Thanks.

Vandalism-like on South Asia

Don't be childish, Goldstein's description on Sino-Tibetan relation has been cited for long time on wikipedia (See Tibet). If you can read simple English, for your POV accusation please kindly read the exact quotes from Goldstein which I just added:

"While the ancient relationships between Tibet and China are complex and beyond the scope of this study, there can be no question regarding the subordination of Tibet to Manchu-ruled China following the chaotic era of the 6th and 7th Dalai Lamas in the first decades of the eighteenth century."[Goldstein, 1989]

and more...

"From 1751 onwards Chinese control over Tibet became permanent and remained so more or less ever after, in spite of British efforts to seize possession of this Chinese protectorate at the beginning of the twentieth century."[Gernet, Foster & Hartman, 1982]

"In 1751 the organization of the protectorate took its final shape, which it maintained, except for some modifications in 1792, till its end in 1912. The ambans were given rights of control and supervision and since 1792 also a direct participation in the Tibetan government."[Petech, 1972]

And please also note that TAR's status as part of PRC is worldwide accepted.(the term TAR itself is invented by PRC). Since 2007, the Dalai Lama and the TGIE prime minister have clearly state that they let the Himalayan region stay within the Chinese boundary/constitution. Do you want me to show you the quote?

Please also don't make me laugh and look down on you by saying something senseless like "I am UC students b-b-blah". Even if you claim youself as "Yale phd", "Harvard professor", it still means nothing to me as (WARNING) everyone must follow the golden ruleof WP:CITE.

By the way, the 898-page Goldstein account is right on my desk, I have full access to every page of the book, so let me know if you need help.

You have been blocked for a period of 31 hours for edit warring on South Asia. You have been blocked for this before on the same article and as such you should know better. To contest this block please place {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Tiptoety talk 03:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Thegreyanomaly (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

regarding South Asia. An uncivil IP vandal 219.73.86.234 was drastically editing the page, removing much cited content. This user was also wikistalking, following my every move. I was trying to get this guy off my back. He/she was not acting in line with good faith (see mine and his/her talk page). For example, I was trying to make a point that because I am a Berkeley student I have access to the books s/he was citing. These were his/her responses

and here were mine

This user's behavior was despicable and provoking (see our talk pages and above), especially with the large scale wikistalking. I was trying to protect the page from this ip address's vandalism. Initially, when the IP edited the page, they were putting in new sources, but it was very clear to me that for at least one of the sources they were adding, they were adding what they saw as the pro-PRC/anti-Tibetan point of view ignoring the pro-Tibetan text that was on the exact same. I admit I hastily reverted the first time, but they afterwards I edited their reference and added the Tibetan view also depicted in the source in question. After that, this IP started doing away with large amounts of the page with absolutely no consensus for such drastic edits. It now appears that User:Becky Sayles stands on my side that this IP's edits were overly drastic and improper. I have on and off seen IP vandals within this user's range that were also from Hong Kong (219.73.86.234 is from Hong Kong), that have committed such vandal edits to South Asia. This IP was just another one of those and the number of them has been increasing because the 2008 Olympics and Tibet.

Yes I was blocked on South Asia a long time ago, when I was a relatively new user. I had only been on Wikipedia for a bit over six months and I had a distasteful introduction to Wikipedia on Dalit Buddhist movement‎ having to deal with uncivil sockpuppets. It gave me a bad mindset while editing Wikipedia. After my 3RR, I have learned a lot more of how Wikipedia works and how it should be treated since then. I don't that 3RR should count against me right now. Also note, my other block from South Asia was caused by another Hong Kong IP 218.102.23.126 with similar motives. (if you look at their contrib records, they never were banned or blocked and they disappeared right after I was 3RR'd).

I was trying to undo large amount of vandalism committed by this IP (removing large chunks of references should be considered vandalism).

Note: the other party also demanded to see what references they were removing. They easily could have done that had they looked their edit diffs. Their refusal to look at the diffs should not be used to punish me as they are implying on their talk page

Decline reason:

Your request is too long and was not read. See WP:GAB. —  Sandstein  11:32, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.


From looking at the edits the IP was making, I agree they were darastic (and as such they are blocked too), but I would not call them vandalism and as such making revert after revert is really a disruptive way to handle this situation. Tiptoety talk 03:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clone Wars

Please refrain from adding those games. As a disambiguation page, it should be limited only to things known as "Clone Wars". The games are generally referred to by their subtitles, "Lightsaber Duels" and "Jedi Alliance", so do not belong on the disambiguation page. Thanks. Rhindle The Red (talk) 14:34, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google hits are irrelevant. Those two titles are more than clearly disambiguated by their subtitles, they do not need to be linked from the disambiguation page Clone Wars. People looking for them are not likely to be simply typing in "Clone Wars", which is the point of a disambiguation page. They may type in "Clone Wars video game" and the fact that there are three games that could fall under that might justify a disambiguation page there, but the two new games do not belong on Clone Wars, just as all Star Wars video games do not belong on Star Wars (disambiguation). And please do not simply revert me again, if you have any further arguments, keep them here. Thanks. Rhindle The Red (talk) 16:46, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


What you have been saying is OR. The two new games are known equally by the title Clone Wars. I am reverting your edits once again and filing an RfC on the page. Google hits are relevant.

Aditya is simply arguing strongly for his point of view in regards to a content dispute. I see absolutely no incivility that requires a warning or corrective action. Steven Walling (talk) 08:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please, you didn't create that list. It was already there before you started to revert. None of those comments were aimed at you, rather it was aimed at the content. Nothing to take it so personally. Anyways, since your feelings are hurt, I apologize for coming on too strong. But, you seeking all kinds of action to be taken against me personally was probably done by intention. Can I feel hurt now? Aditya(talk • contribs) 14:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Came up with an interesting way to display CA in the SSM template.

I just tested it out. Let me know what you think, and if you don't like it, I can revert it back to the previous. I think the new display version helps differentiate between states that currently allow marriage and the ones (really one) that are [in flux] or recognizing thousands of previous SSM marriages, but not performing new ones.

I tried and messed it up. LOL, fortunately, I asked User:Reedy on IRC to change it, and he did CTJF83Talk 19:40, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is a very good month for LGBT rights! Hopefully it will stay like this! I'm still looking for someone to update the map for me :) CTJF83Talk 19:12, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, can't find anyone that can update it. CTJF83Talk 03:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes!! 2009, the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots is turning out to be an outstanding year for gay rights! The New York governor has unveiled legislation to legalize marriage in New York too! [8] CTJF83Talk 17:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Map assistance

Hi there, I follow the same-sex marriage map file closely, and noticed you had some experience with editing maps. I was wondering if you might be able to assist me. Essentially, I am trying to update the file Map-of-US-state-cannabis-laws.svg. As you can see on my talk page, someone recommended a program for coloring a US map, but I cannot get it to work properly. If you are able to help, feel free to let me know so I can go into more detail. Otherwise, I would appreciate any other recommendations as far as programs goes or other tools that can be used. Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 19:02, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your assistance! I will look into your comments soon. Much appreciated! --Another Believer (Talk) 05:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, thanks to your assistance and the help from another user (see my talk page if you wish), I have update the map on my computer. One more quick question. How would I upload the updated map? Clicking on the 'Edit' tab here or here doesn't seem to do the trick. --Another Believer (Talk) 21:45, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the hyperlinked text to upload a new file, though it might be because one has to be logged in/registered with Wikimedia Commons. I will do so and figure it out. Thanks again! --Another Believer (Talk) 21:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I still do not see the link you are referring to, even after registering at Commons and logging in. Does one need to be an admin or something? --Another Believer (Talk) 22:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the image upload. I see where you are referring to, but I currently don't have access to that link. I will wait several days to see if it appears. --Another Believer (Talk) 03:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

cities

Why did u remove cities I added in the South Asian cities list ??? Deleting what others created is your idea of creation at UC Berkeley ??? J J Parikh 18:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parikhjigish (talk • contribs)

Thank you

Thank you for responding quick. I was a bit surprised to hear from your page that Brahmins were responsible for wiping buddhism from India. That is completely false theory. I don't understand how such theories come into existence. In India every religion has always been welcomed throughout the ages. I can recommend you some reading that will clear your thinking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parikhjigish (talk • contribs) 21:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

24h for edit warring on Burma. Would have been 12h since not quite a technical 3RR vio, but for your form William M. Connolley (talk) 21:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thegreyanomaly (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I did not violate 3RR though. It was well over 24 hours since my last 3RR. My fourth revert was well after my first 24h from my first. That is why I waited until morning (pacific time) before making my revert. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 22:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC) You guys are miscounting my edits 04:07, 7 June 2009 I ADDED content 05:59, 7 June 2009 I reverted for the FIRST time 22:53, 7 June 2009 I reverted for the SECOND time 00:16, 8 June 2009 I reverted for the THIRD time 02:29, 8 June 2009 HYBERNATOR reverted for the FOURTH time and I initiated the 3RR violation notice After this I, Thegreyanomaly, stayed off Burma, went to sleep at 1 AM Pacific time, woke up around 11:20 AM Pacific time 18:31, 8 June 2009 I reverted for the FOURTH time I did not violate the 3RR. My fourth revert was 1 day, 14h, and 24min after my first edit. This is not a 3RR violation Thegreyanomaly (talk) 22:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Nobody said it was a 3RR violation; in fact William acknowledged that it isn't technically one. Regardless, you were edit warring, and haven't provided any reason why you should be unblocked. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thegreyanomaly (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was putting back in cited content, that was continually being removed by a user who didn't like it. After the edits were made, I did post on the talk pages (on South Asia and on Burma) like EdJohnston recommended on Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Hybernator_reported_by_User:Thegreyanomaly_.28Result:_24h_all_round.29 I promise to stay off the page, as long as Hybernator agrees to talk instead of continually reverting.

Decline reason:

That conditional promise doesn't make me comfortable with an early unblock (you will be unblocked automatically in 24 hours anyway). What you should do is learn not to repeatedly revert another user, no matter what the edit is that you are making. Instead, engage in discussion first, and if that fails, attempt dispute resolution. This is your 4th block for edit warring, it is time you adjusted your approach. Mangojuicetalk 23:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Thegreyanomaly. Thanks for the email about your block. Please make any arguments here, since email is best reserved for matters that require confidentiality. EdJohnston (talk) 17:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of Wii games that use the Nintendo GameCube controller

An editor has nominated List of Wii games that use the Nintendo GameCube controller, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Wii games that use the Nintendo GameCube controller and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Greg Tyler (t • c) 15:36, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Settle down

I was told that you are thinking about doing a RFC on me. From what I can see in that AFD list you made, all I've done is nominate things for deletion and posted my opinion in AFDs. This is NOT a crime. Articles for deletion is a place to share opinions on articles. People don't agree on things and it's not the end of the world. I suggest you stop assuming bad faith, just because I don't agree with your editing views. I have every right to have a different opinion than you. Also, saying things are trivial isn't bad behavior at all. RobJ1981 (talk) 05:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[9] From looking back at your record much of what this IP says seems relatively accurate. You go around putting AfDs on anything and everything, calling it cruft without citing any policy whatsoever. Once in while other people end up showing some policy and it goes your way, but it appears you are rampantly nominating anything and everything for an AfD, which is blatant violation of WP:IDONTLIKEIT (aka WP:ITSCRUFT). Thegreyanomaly (talk) 06:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your obsession with my AFD comments isn't helpful to Wikipedia. I suggest you read Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_battleground, as I feel you are just doing this RFC nonsense because I disagreed with you. I suggest you move on, and leave me alone. RobJ1981 (talk) 06:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In response to what you deleted: it's called cleanup. Not every article has the right categories, so I remove them. If an article has problems, I add a tag and so on. It's not that hard to figure out. I have every right to do article cleanup and not get lectured about how "bad" it apparently is. Next time, know what you are talking about. Don't go around assuming bad faith, when you hardly know anything about my editing here. I don't need this kind of harassment, due to you holding a grudge over an AFD. RobJ1981 (talk) 07:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: RJ

An impressive list. Not sure what I could add to that, but yes, it seems obvious that he has a copy-paste approach to AfD nominations. Always beginning with an ITSCRUFT, to boot. Don't rely on me, but I think you can rely on that list. Anarchangel (talk) 12:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I posted my own thoughts underneath your post on my talkpage. Long story short here: I don't feel I know enough about the long-term situation, nor have enough wikipedia experience yet to go for an RfC. Try resolve the issue after taking a few days to cooldown with him on his talk page. (If you have done this in the past, I apologise, but as I said I know little about the situation.) --Taelus (talk) 16:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strike that, seems he has filed a complaint about you now. Seems this is going to go to a dispute resolution area. --Taelus (
