Leon Jordan AfD

Leon Jordan was a member of the Missouri General Assembly when he was assassinated in 1970, and meets WP:POLITICIAN on that basis alone. In addition, he was considered the most powerful politician in Missouri, his murder is unsolved, and the case has been discussed in reliable sources for decades. Did you read the references? Please reconsider. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:41, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your prompt response and I appreciate your withdrawal. I did a minor expansion last night and will do more work on it tonight. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:39, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Rape during the Bangladesh liberation war

You've made some really significant improvements to the article, especially on the prose. Concerning POV, I will try and sort out the issues myself. I think it is difficult for you to see the points where you are writing from your POV and not a neutral one. I personally agree with your POV (the Pakistanis attracted atrociously) but we need to leave such judgements to the reader. The topic is interesting, and I think it would be great if we could collaborate to get the article to GA status. Thanks. --He to Hecuba (talk) 23:35, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Wonderful, I look forward to working with you. Darkness Shines (talk) 23:41, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Ok, give me some time to review the source material and I'll start writing. Also, I tend to make BIG BOLD CHANGES EVERYWHERE in article space, so don't be afraid of reverting anything I do, because content hammered out after discussion tends to be better than the first thing which comes into my head. Great =). --He to Hecuba (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello Darkness Shines and He to Hecuba. I've put the GOCE request for this article on hold to give you time to deal with the content issues. It isn't removed, and not put back in the ques, just on hold. Please would you put a note at WP:GOCE/REQ#Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War when you've done with content issues, and I'll remove the hold and (if still wanted) do a copy edit. Best, --Stfg (talk) 12:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Judas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: the Risley ref that you have just added - Herbert Hope Risley is not a reliable source for racial stuff. He was, indeed, a scientific racist and his theories have been blown out of the water. - Sitush (talk) 17:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I meant to thank you earlier for your help with the Haven Herefords thing. There is probably enough there now to ensure that the article is not deleted, although there remain big swathes of uncited content. - Sitush (talk) 21:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

RFC at talk:Pakistan

Don't want to clutter up the RFC header and don't want to get too much involved into the subject. Therefore I leave a response to your comment here. If it is about the notability of the source the RFC should've been drafted somehow like this:
Is the Failed States Index by Fund for Peace published by Foreign Policy notable enough to be included in this article or not?
Just my thought as it seems to be just about that and the current RFC title can be confusing for editors not already familiar with the past discussions. Thanks for your clarification tho. TMCk (talk) 20:39, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

During the copy edit ...

Hi Darkness Shines. Thanks for noticing my comments and responding to them. The way I like to work is to put the {{GOCEinuse}} box at the top of the article while I'm editing, and to replace it with {{under construction}} overnight or if I'm taking a significant break. While the inuse box is there, please could you avoid editing, so that we can avoid edit conflicts? Thanks. --Stfg (talk) 21:28, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Of course, sorry about that. Further issues you post I will respond solely on the talk page. Thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
No worries, thanks. While the {{under construction}} box is there, it's fine to edit. I just want us to avoid edit conflicts. Best, --Stfg (talk) 22:13, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

  • interacting with TopGun
  • undoing his edits

  • replying to him in any discussion

Blog refs

Hi there, I was just wondering on what basis you've been removing all blog references from the Ghulam Azam page - there is no blanket prohibition on using such references on Wikipedia, as far as I'm aware? In particular, the Eric Avebury statement is available on his own blog here: http://ericavebury.blogspot.com/2011/07/bangladesh.html. Let me know.

Abbasfirnas887 (talk) 13:35, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your reply (I'm never sure whether I should respond on your talk page or mine)! The BLP policy says:

Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

and

Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject (see below).

This seems to me clear on the point that material from blogs *on the living person* himself/herself is not allowed - but those references weren't on the person, as far as I'm aware. They were concerned with the ICT as an institution.

Abbasfirnas887 (talk) 14:16, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

The article is a BLP so extra caution has to be taken. The ICT is also about living people as are those being tried, blogs will not cut it as sources. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Carmel School Giridih

DS Thanks for providing the sources. Please note that the Correct and official name of the school is Carmel School, Giridih since it is a convent school often in media and newspapers it is named as Carmel Convent School , regards --ÐℬigXЯaɣ 17:59, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that, were I am from all convent schools are names as s"school name" convent school. I had assumed all catholic schools worldwide would follow the same naming patterns. Feel free to move it back. 19:43, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
  • I will wait for the discussion at AFD to conclude. Its amusing to see that Only TG believes that the article needs to be deleted. Though I am not familiar with the process of moving a page, will try to learn it, or contact you if need be. thanks--ÐℬigXЯaɣ 09:29, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Please let me know why was the Periyar (river) article change reverted?Pearll's SunTALK 15:45, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Thought that was obvious from the edit summary, you appear to have ownership issues. All your edits appear to be reverts back to yourself. It is also obvious that the river source is Kerala and not as you seem to think Sundaramala, I will post on the talk page presently. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:53, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I already did, on the article talk page were this discussion belongs. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:27, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi DarknessShines. I reverted your reversion of DeltaQuad's closure. The matter has been discussed in the previous RfC so I suggest you either wait a bit before trying again or use some other means of dispute resolution.

GA articles

Cheers DS, I have had an article on the GA nomination list for some time now. What about you review my article and I review yours. At the GA, they say it is explicitly allowed to say "you review mine, I review yours". What do you say? JCAla (talk) 14:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, which article is your one? Also look on the talk page for the guild of copy editors comments. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:28, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Yes, will do. Mine is Amrullah Saleh. I will have to temporarily replace some images if you review the article, as they were nominated by Rawalpindi for deletion on commons, if you know what I mean. ;) BTW, I already adjusted the article to a prior peer review and let a copy-editor check for language. JCAla (talk) 14:36, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Looking over it now, will post issues as I find them on the talk page. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:46, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Darkness Shines and JCAla. Just a word to let you know that I agree with the deletion of File:Amrullah Saleh.png; it doesn't look like it is public domain. It might be a good idea to remove the questionable image from the article and not put it back until the deletion discussion has closed. Regards, -- Dianna (talk) 23:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, kindly look at the preceding discussion on commons. Moby Group (owning Tolonews) itself states that it is "100% Afghan owned and operated". Mohseni is an Afghan citizen. Also look at what Liliana had to say here. JCAla (talk) 07:19, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Using a reference more than once.

Hi Darkness Shines. I've noticed a mistake you keep making, which I've been having to correct in my copy edits. When you make a reference like this:

<ref name=Fred>details, details, details</ref>

then when you use the same reference a second time, you've been repeating the definition with all the details. This is wrong. What you should do the second time is just this:

<ref name=Fred/>

Take a look at this diff for an example.

While I'm here, "the abuses were only stopped by the intervention of the Indian armed forces" is not obvious and did need citation. I understand why you did that edit summary, but it was wrong and quite rude. Historical facts may be well known or poorly known, depending on the readership, but they are never "obvious". In fact, this bit of history is poorly remembered in the west, even by those old enough to have been able to read newspapers when it happened. To the younger generation of westerners, it's all but unknown. Requests for citations need to be met.

Keep well and take care. --Stfg (talk) 11:26, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Doing the references as you have means the correct page numbers will not show. Or am I missing something? Darkness Shines (talk) 11:35, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
The page numbers are still there. Different page numbers need different refs, like your ref name=Totten2 and ref name=Totten3, but for each page, you only define the ref once, and then you use the slash notation for later occurrences. Take a look for yourself at how I've corrected refs Totten2 (page 248) and Totten3 (page 250) and see how the page numbers are still there. --Stfg (talk) 13:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

March 2012

You have been blocked from editing for a period of three days for violating your interaction ban here. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Block increased to a week due to this personal attack. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
(ec)I self reverted and you still put it up to a week? Darkness Shines (talk) 12:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I increased your block before you self-reverted. I am willing to reduce it back to three days, however, if you apologise. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Of course I am sorry, I would not have reverted it otherwise. Time stamps show you increased the block at the same time as I reverted. I will also be appealing the block as it was not the second violation of an IBAN nor was it an infarction at all. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I have re-imposed the original block. I think you were most definitely violating your interaction ban: you were blatantly trying to game your restriction. But, of course, you're welcome to appeal my block. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:34, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
No I was not, I was raising a legitimate concern, but thanks for assuming good faith. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
In fact this was gaming the system[1] Copying and pasting content I had written to user space and then getting a gullible admin to restore a deleted article with my content change is gaming the system, as I can now no longer edit that article. Pure genius you lot. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Unblock

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).

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

Request reason:

I have not violated the interaction ban. Sal seems to think I have done so twice, I have not. Sending an article to AFD is not an WP:IBAN violation. Nor is this[2] an IBAN violation. I did not name him, I did not refer to his edits and as can be seen here[3] I was trying to avoid mentions of he who must not be named at all costs. I see no other way I could have asked that question on the BLP board. And if asking about a BLP violation is an interaction violation then how am I meant to raise such query's in the future? I have not violated the IBAN as laid down under the policy, and I request this block be lifted. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:46, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Do you seriously think that referring to a user by an evasive term like "He who must not be named" instead of by username somehow doesn't count as referring to him? The interaction ban says "making reference to or commenting on him or his actions", not "making reference to or commenting on him or his actions by name". You certainly did make reference to, and commented on, him and his actions. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:06, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

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.

‎ Merger?

If you return to my talk page and look at the thread just above yours, you will see the answer. Nyttend (talk) 12:53, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

That is not an answer, you restored an article which had under gone AFD to mainspace, you merged it with another article and it is full of OR, most of it fails verification, and it is not possible now for me to edit the article to correct your hideous mistake. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:58, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
You asked why I did it, and what I said is a sufficient reason to understand why I did it. Kindly avoid dragging me into your dispute; I acted because I'm neutral in your dispute, and you'll notice that the only content edit I made was removing some templates that are inappropriate out of userspace. Nyttend (talk) 13:05, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Haha, that's a funny story. What do you call it if an AFD leads to a deletion of an article based on the OR of the content, you then restore it in your sandbox and let an admin move it back into an article. Very funny. But I still do not get the reason why it was done. JCAla (talk) 13:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
That's know as gaming the system, do not expect an admin to admit he fucked up, none of them ever do. My block log is proof of that. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:32, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I have checked the article's logs and it appears it was never deleted. Could you please provide a link to the AfD which ended in deletion, please? Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
You are looking at the wrong article, [4] This one was deleted. It was saved in user space and has now been merged into Pro-Pakistan sentiment which I created in good faith, not as a preemptive strike as has been alluded to. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:40, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I have left a note on Nyttend's talk page; however, Captain Screebo (talk · contribs) has been pruning the article since you posted that thread on BLPN. Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:59, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
So what? He will just get reverted down the road, and still I am unable to edit an article I created. It still has OR both the Music and Displays of sentiment have no place in an article, it is just made up crap. The entire lede is unsourced apart from two neologisms which fail verification, usage of a word is not a definition, and those terms are being defined now by Wikipedia. Pure horseshit is what it is. I had begun the article, used academic sources and would have expanded it correctly, now it is and will remain a mess. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:04, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Well, for one thing, even if the article is that bad, you are not the only one who can make it better. Captain Screebo can improve it and even nominate it for deletion again, if the article cannot be bettered. Furthermore, Nyttend can also be convinced to undo his history merge – flies, honey, vinegar and all that, you know. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:14, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I think TopGun did game the system and DS went for the wrong measure. If he promises to you to ask at ANI the next time about what he should do in such cases, would you unblock him? Others should then check whether the sources back the claims etc. JCAla (talk) 14:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
(ec)If I had not asked on the BLP board about it (you know the question you have blocked me for) Then who exactly would have fixed it? I have been following the discussion on the other talk pages, first and foremost please correct my spelling error which has propagated all over the place.I refer to the section headers[5] ;o) Also explain to the quite confused Nyttend as to why I am now unable to edit an article I created, any edit I make to that article will be a revert of what was merged, hence a violation of the IBAN. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:23, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes. As a note, "Pakophilia" is a neologism for "Pro-Pakistan sentiment". JCAla (talk) 13:45, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Even more amusing I saw you removed "Dal Khor" well done as it is not supported by the references at all, a point I had made in the AFD for the same term, dunno why I bother truth be told, some editors are allowed to do as they wish while those who work to improve articles using the best sources available keep getting bitch slapped. I am coming to the conclusion that editing Wikipedia is a terrible waste of time and energy. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:57, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Unblock II

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).

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

Request reason:

No I do not think "He who must not be named" is referring to him, it is in fact the opposite. I did not comment on his actions, as I pointed out in the diff[6] I edited my post to try and not refer to him. If this has been a deliberate violation on my part I would accept this block, it was not. I have written "He who must not be named" at ANI and nobody said it was a violation FFS. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:29, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Unfortunately "he who is currently blocked" continues to refer to the other editor in an WP:IBAN. This block should be longer, however, the terms are clear: you cannot refer to them by nicknames or whatever (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 17:39, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

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.

(ec)JamesBWatson said that was the reason for declining my request? How the hell am I to clarify that without writing it again? As usual admins close ranks against the plebs and refuse to admit they are wrong. I am done. I will log out and edit in future from an IP. All having an account gets you is shite from nationalist POV pushers who play games. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I think only Salvio could possibly unblock you (if he wants to), if you make a productive suggestion on future behavior to him. :) But don't know if he actually will. It's, however, worth a try. JCAla (talk) 17:47, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

There were fuck all wrong with my behavior, I did not violate the IBAN, I did not game the fucking system, and every time I have been blocked on this excuse for a fucking encyclopedia is because one person, just one, has done his utmost to have me blocked. His fan club are now calling for a topic ban as well. Like I wrote above, from now on I will edit from an IP. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Ha, was searching for where they propose the topic ban for you and came to this. Man, this guy got nerves. Sorry, you are not allowed to comment on this, forgot. :/ JCAla (talk) 17:54, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Really don't see why not, after all I am quite certain I was being referred to on Talk:Pro-Pakistan sentiment. No doubt that will further anger our overlords who will now extend the block. Heaven forbid one ever admits he was wrong. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:16, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Unblock III

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

I have not intentionally violated the IBAN, I posted "what I am not allowed to say" at ANI and nobody there said this was a violation. Now that I know it is I will refrain from saying it again. A three day block for a mistake is obscene. Please unblock me. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:22, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I want to believe you and, therefore, I am about to unblock you. But, please, please, please in future avoid referring to TopGun's actions at all costs, either by mentioning him directly or by using periphrases. You are supposed to ignore him, no matter what he does. If he violates Wikipedia's policies, there are many other editors who can called him out. You just ignore him. Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:59, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Holy crap, I did not expect this Sal you just restored my faith in the admin class, thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

'Oh happy day'

"Negotiators for insurgent group say head of former Islamic Emirate should be guardian of future Afghan state - Taliban negotiators involved in ongoing talks in Doha are seeking dramatic constitutional changes which would make Mullah Muhammad Omar Afghanistan's supreme religious and political leader ... “In essence,” a European diplomat familiar with the talks told The Hindu, “the Taliban want that Mullah Omar become a kind of guardian-figure for the Afghan state, not dissimilar to Iran's maghame rahbari, or supreme leader.”"

Yanks will not pull out till they have the last of the top guys, Omar has been on the shitlist for a long time now. Obama has already lost the election, and there are not enough time to pull the troops out at any rate. But if this went ahead we will be back in that godforsaken land again in a few years. 08:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Bunch of priests whining, nothing new there really. Not surprised with Karzai's implicit endorsement, he has been pro Taliban from the get go really. I reckon every woman in Afghanistan should just up and move, lets see how superior the men are with none around. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:46, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Referencing

Can you let me know if I got it right this time around [7] Thanks Darkness Shines (talk) 10:07, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Not right yet, I'm afraid. Your Jones reference is only used once. You don't need to change the name every time. First, it's essential for you to read and understand Wikipedia:Citing sources#Repeated citations. Then in the references section of your article, look at footnote 15. The superscripted a and b point to the two places in the article that cite Dictionary of Genocide page 34. You'll see that they are both at the bottom of the "Background" section. Now look at the bottom of the "Background" section in the edit window to see how it does this. It refers to "ref name=Totten" twice. On one occasion it gives all the details like this:
<ref name=Totten>{{cite book|last=Totten|first=Samuel|title=Dictionary of Genocide: A-L|publisher=Greenwood|location=Volume 1|isbn=978-0-313-32967-8|coauthors=Paul Robert Bartrop, Steven L. Jacobs|page=34}}</ref>
and it is this that tells wikipedia how to make the footnote. The other time it just says this:
<ref name=Totten/>
This uses the same reference, but doesn't tell wikipedia the details all over again, because it knows them already. Notice the slash after "Totten". That's what tells wikipedia to use the definition given elsewhere. Hope this helps. --Stfg (talk) 10:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
But hod does Wiki know which page number to show? This is very very confusing Darkness Shines (talk) 10:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Because you've told it. Look at the "Cite book" template above. It has "page=34" in it. :) --Stfg (talk) 11:20, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Bangladesh Rape talk page

Darkness Shines. It was completely out of order for you do do that removal. First, the SPI for Highstakes00 is still open. Secondly, you also removed comments of mine, and I am in good standing. Thirdly, sockpuppetry is not one of the reasons listed at WP:TPO for removing talk page content, so you have no excuse to do that. If there is a reason to remove any of it, an admin should decide it. You have no authority over what other people are allowed to do and say on wikipedia. Please don't try to exercise any. --Stfg (talk) 15:54, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

hey man, saw that you posted on my talk page some time ago. sorry to leave you hangin for the last few months, but i've come to realize that wikipedia really isn't the place for casual, time-strapped editors like me, so for all intents and purposes, i've disconnected my keyboard, metaphorically speaking. saw the noticeboard thing today and tried to give some perspective. i know you're fighting the good fight, but just be patient with the admins, and hopefully they'll start to see the logic in what you're saying. i think walking them through one good edit war may very well be enough. for what it's worth, in the end...truth alone triumphs...good luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.115.152 (talk) 05:25, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Calling someone a jerk and a moron on their Talk page really isn't acceptable.

Nomination of Inter-Services Intelligence support for terrorism for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Inter-Services Intelligence support for terrorism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inter-Services Intelligence support for terrorism until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Because he deleted the sock article, I asked him if it would be OK to redo it and he said yes, I asked him if the restoring of it to user space would become an issue, he said no. It of course did become an issue and now that I have asked about it he has blocked me. Sal said asking about this was not a violation. I never even mentioned any names when I inquired about off wiki communication being used which has to be a violation.

From WP:IBAN: exceptions include "asking an administrator to take action against a violation of an interaction ban by the other party (but normally not more than once), asking for necessary clarifications about the scope of the ban, or appealing the ban for a good reason." Making a snide remark implying meatpuppetry directly at the other editor ("I am... disappointed in you"[10]) and in no way asking for administrator for help or filing a request asking for possible action is not in any way "legitimate and necessary dispute resolution" concerning the ban itself. It is an escalation of the tit-for-tat war words that was going on before and that this ban was precisely crafted to avoid. If you are honest with yourself, I think you will see it (and please, let's discuss your behavior, not mine, WP:NOTTHEM and all). Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:00, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
(ec)Well thank you for at least once responding. I had to do it the way I did, otherwise it would have been a violation. If I wrote "I believe there are off wiki communications between Mar4D SMS & TG" you would have blocked me for saying TG. I just pointed you to the thread in question with no mention of names to draw your attention to the fact that I am certain there is off wiki communication ongoing, this was evident from the SPI which was filed. I have done my very best to avoid naming names or interacting, it is not that bloody easy to try and get across a concern about something without breaking the IBAN. I was doing my best not to. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:08, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Simply not mentioning TopGun's name doesn't mean it's not an interaction ban violation. Neither does mentioning his name necessarily make it a violation. That is a wikilawyer way of looking at things. It's the sentiment behind the statement. If you had come to my talkpage and said "I think TopGun is violating the interaction ban, this is why I think it; could you take action?" or filed a sockpuppet report with TopGun's name, it would not have been a violation because it would have been done in a good-faith effort to deal with the problem. But making a comment directly at him and implying that maybe there was an interaction ban isn't in any way trying to get the problem fixed. That's the difference.

Ok I get that, I was not trying to be a sea-lawyer. I basically did it the wrong way, fair enough. But you must realize I have been walking on eggshells over here, anything which may have looked like a violation was instantly reported. The proof of that is on yours & Sal's talk pages. I was trying to be careful and fucked it up. All I can say is sorry next time I will be straightforward. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:23, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
A prime example, I removed a copyright violation, all TG had done was use the Reflinks tool on the article, that was reported as am IBAN violation. That is why I commented out content instead of removing it on the restored article, and that was again reported as a violation. Like I said, I have been walking on eggshells.

Given what was just posted on your talk page see here. Like I said, every possible move I make is reported as a fucking violation, usually out of context. And why is my talk page on his watchlist? Just tell me what is not a violation as regardless of what I do it gets fucking reported as one, so life would be a little easier, as at the moment whatever I fucking do gets reported as a bloody vio.

Probable sock

User:Najamkhan16 probable sock of User :Wikiwriter786 IP 200.98.197.34 is posting from Brazil, SA, doubt it is a sock. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:51, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Lol the ISI get caught again [11] How crap are they? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:23, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Did not expect this. User:September88 is also User:182.177.22.143 based on geolocation + some common sense, based on this [12] I cannot help but think she logs out to support her cause, both IP's geolcate to the same spot. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:39, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

You can't really say that's the ISI, I mean you've done excellent work on anti-vandalism but making such rash statements like this with no logic does not help. (Wiki id2(talk) 17:49, 14 March 2012 (UTC))

In this you are in fact incorrect, I know how to ping an IP. It is even easier when it is a static one as used by most government institutions, Darkness Shines (talk) 17:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

... in good ol'Punjab. Are you sure enough to file a SPI? JCAla (talk) 18:09, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Positive, no doubt at all. Static IP's are piss easy to backtrack Darkness Shines (talk) 18:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
User:182.177.22.143 is Rawalpindi (ISI HQ) and I am trying really trying to refrain from commenting on that any further. User:39.47.36.30 is Mohra Nur, Islamabad neighborhood. But how do you know it's September88? JCAla (talk) 18:17, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Because I am very very good, and this of course [13] [14] Busted springs to mind. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:30, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

I filed an SPI based on your research. JCAla (talk) 19:13, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Good one, I'll get he others soon enough as well. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:14, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

No no and no

[15] Can someone ask Ashlin to pop over so I my tell him why this is terrible. Sources, no good, use western academic sources only, any fro mthe region will be seen as biased. I have sources for what you have written, just ask should you need some or some research done. No internal to ISI, so any random reader will think "who"? You name names from your sources, who are they? What makes their opinions notable? More research and better sourcing my friend. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:38, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Your talk page is open for one purpose only: to contest your block. Please stop abusing this privilege. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
I assumed I could post anything on here? Had not realized I was breaking a rule. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:09, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Not only that, but, as TopGun has correctly informed me, you've once again gone and broken another IBAN violation. I was considering unblocking you based on your own recognition of your faults. Please do not make any more comments directed at TopGun, about TopGun, or anything to do with TopGun unless you are specifically asking an administrator (through a formal or informal process) to address what you perceive to be a violation of IBAN on his part. No making sly comments toward him without using his name. No making comments about him without using his name. No talking about his mother or his father or anything he said for the past 15 years. That's it. It's that simple. Stop trying to get around that rule, and you will stop getting blocked.
FYI, you are this >< close to getting indefinitely blocked. And no, I don't care what the enforcement is on anyone else; we're talking about your behavior and you alone. Please take the next 48 hours to consider your behavior. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:25, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
