MY ONLY ISSUE ON WIKI IS THE STALKING OF MY EDITS BY ROCKPOCKET - THIS IS AN EDITOR WHO HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE HAS WANTED ME BANNED FOR A LONG TIME. |
|||
{{warning| If you are here to point out my spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, poor punctuation, don't bother - I know it's poor and no amount of spell checks can sort that out. I'm not perfect; you're (possibly) not perfect; there's only ever been one man in this world who's ever been totally perfect and they even [[Jesus|crucified him]]}} |
|||
HE WAS UNABLE TO GET HIS GOAL ACHIEVED IN THE ARBCOM SO HE HAS TRIED EVERYTHING HE CAN TO TRY AND GET ME BANNED SINCE THEN. |
|||
'''This is a troll-free zone.''' |
|||
WAS I EDITING ARTICLES IN A DISTRUPTIVE MANNER? WAS I CAUSING ANY OTHER KIND OF DISRUPTION? WAS I EDITING CONSTRUCTIVELY? |

IF THE REAL ISSUE OF ROCKPOCKET STALKING ME IS NOT ADDRESSED THEN DONT EXPECT ME TO ENGAGE IN THIS PROCESS - CAUSE AND EFFECT! |

== Orthodox? == |
|||
Ah, now you're asking. I think, like you said, the [[Orthodox stance]] article is the better of the two, and we only need one article. |
|||
Brain Rodeo has a point that there's likely more can be said about karate and what have you, but it seems like it might as well be all in one place, which means [[Orthodox stance]] again. Only if it got too big would there be a reason to split it up. If there are sections on different fighting sports, then I think you can make a redirect so that [[Orthodox (boxing)]] goes to the "Boxing" section and [[Orthodox (karate)]] to the karate section. I made one for the film at [[Orthodox Stance (film)]] and if you click on it, it seems to go to the right bit. So, I agree with you that it's better having this all at the one place. |

This may include any user who was a party to this case, or any other user after a warning has been given''.

Just a word of clarification, VK. An "involved admin" was clarified as meaning an admin that is involved in the substantial dispute; ie, they were directly involved in the editing of the page in question.

He is an "involved admin" - I hate him, he hates me - we couldnt get less involved!

{{tlx|unblock|this block is simple incredible. I have asked Rockpocket not to post on my talk page in excess of 10 times because I believe as do many others that he only comes here to provoke an incident and to get a reaction from me. I have just survived an Arbcom and want ot stay away from editors with whom I come into conflict. Rockpocket was the main editor that attempt to get me indefinately blocked during the Arbcom for that reason I would prefer not to deal with him because of his agenda to get me blocked. Despite this he has continued on a number of occasions to post of this talk page and to send me emails. All I want is to be left in peace and to edit article (a fact you can see from my edit history). So I go a asked Rockpocket politely to stop posting here and leave me alone, which is not uncommon, infact I am "banned" from a number of editors talkpages infact only today [[User:John]] today said not to contact him.

I will not act on the unblock request as I was a clerk in the arbitration case, but I am not convinced that this block is necessary. Irrespective of the outcome of this block, I would further urge that administrators who were heavily involved in the earlier disputes, such as Rockpocket, not participate in enforcing the remedies against Vintagekits. This is not meant in any way as a reflection on Rockpocket's administrator actions or impartiality, but a suggestion intended to minimize assertions of unfairness or the appearance of the potential for unfairness. I've posted at ANI requesting that this block be reviewed and will also alert the blocking administrator. [[User:Newyorkbrad|Newyorkbrad]] 00:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC) |

* As another admin who keeps an eye on these articles, I concur that unblocking was probably correct in this instance, though VK does need to be <i>really</i> careful in his dealings with other editors. <b>[[User talk:EliminatorJR|<font color="indigo">E<small>LIMINATOR</small></font><font color="crimson">JR</font>]]</b> 00:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC) |

VK: To clarify the ruling as I understand it: You're under 1RR limit regarind any article that is related to the Troubles as well as the Ulster banner and British baronets articles. The edits to [[World Amateur Boxing Championships]], even though the article isn't related to the Arbitration case, your edits [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_Amateur_Boxing_Championships&diff=169049902&oldid=169012746 here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_Amateur_Boxing_Championships&diff=169055303&oldid=169053233 here] are related to it. Despite the fact that the decision doesn't exactly clarify edits like this, administrators can say that you're reverting on the grounds related to the ArbCom case. You need to watch out very carefully of what you're reverting. - [[User:Penwhale|Penwhale]] | <sup>[[User_talk:Penwhale|Blast him]] / [[Special:Contributions/Penwhale|Follow his steps]]</sup> 06:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC) |

When you have sufficient to make a cast-iron case then present them on the relevant Arbcom page explaining your findings and why you feel sanctions need to be imposed. Regarding AFDs on baronets if the pages are so dreadful they will be deleted without input from you.

|||
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left|Replaceable fair use]] |
|||
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Kevin McBride Post Montiy.jpg]]'''. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please: |
|||
# Go to [[:Image:Kevin McBride Post Montiy.jpg|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''. |
|||
# On [[Image talk:Kevin McBride Post Montiy.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all. |
|||
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself. |
|||
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of descrption pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our [[WP:FUC|Fair Use policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Poster50r.jpg== |
|||
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Poster50r.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. |
|||
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

::Hey VK, this is what I saw on the page: |
|||
'''This image or media has a non-free use rationale that is disputed because of the following concern: invalid rationale per WP:NFCC#10c The name of each article in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language, and is relevant to each use.. Unless concern is addressed by adding an appropriate non-free use rationale, or in some other way, the image will be deleted or removed from some uses after Monday, 3 December 2007. Please remove this template if you have successfully addressed the concern. |
|||
Note that, per WP:NFCC#10c, each fair-use rationale must include a link to the specific article in which fair use of the image is claimed.''' |

So all you have to do is place a link to the article that it's used on, and the fair use rationale provided (ie, what qualifies it to be "fair use"), and its all set. Hope this helped. [[User:SirFozzie|SirFozzie]] ([[User talk:SirFozzie|talk]]) 20:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC) |

:Yes, there is no article for [[London Fleadh]] - but that is easily sorted by copying and pasting what you wrote in the [[Fleadh]] article and having the Fleadh as a redirect to FCnahE.

Hello Vk. Regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sean_O%27Callaghan&diff=183636229&oldid=183635764 this] section; it will likely be removed again unless, at the very least, the current third party sourced are referenced inline and the quotes attributed to reliable sources. Even then is debatable whether this should be in there per [[WP:NPF]]. The so-called "gay bar controversy" was essentially the defense of defendant later found guilty (suggesting the defense wasn't accepted by the legal system). Of the sources provided, one notes "the defence suddenly came up with the gay-bondage story ... the jury found the allegation hilarious and took 20 minutes to declare Samhan guilty," the other is the not very reliable sounding ''Life Style Extra''. Do you really consider this appropriate per [[WP:BLP]]?

:::: I'm not suggesting the incident isn't notable, just the focusing on the salacious details (the fact that he visited a gay bar and there was an unreliable suggestion from the defense that he was involved in bondage) seems a little undue, considering his notability is nothing to do with his sexuality. As [[WP:BLP|Jimbo says]], ''"real people are involved, and they can be hurt by your words. We are not tabloid journalism, we are an encyclopedia."''

:: Vk, I have been nothing but polite and constructive with my comments to you. I have gone out of my way to explain to you why I have made an edit that effects one of yours so not to lead to misunderstandings. If you are not able to accept that other editors will correct your good faith mistakes, poor spelling or grammar, without responding in an aggressive and incivil manner, then I suggest you say nothing at all. You might also wish to have a read of [[WP:STALK]]: "proper use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles ... in fact, such practices are recommended.

::::A lot of IR articles are now on my watch list due to the category structure I oversaw. When something appears on my watch list, that requires some serious copy-editing (such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phil_O%27Donnell_%28Irish_republican%29&diff=prev&oldid=185739612 this]) then I do it. Then I check what related articles have also been edited in such a manner and clean those up too. Its not only you that I find myself occasionally copy editing for, yet it is only you that appears to have a problem with it. I'm sorry if "its begining (sic) to piss [you] off ", but there is two solutions to this: either learn to live with the fact that any other editor, not of your choosing, is encouraged to correct your mistakes, or else copy edit articles for acceptable spelling and grammar yourself before you write them. If I was "stalking" you (and I would ask you to read the article I directed you to and, once you do that, stop making unfounded allegations) then I would follow you to your boxing articles. I don't. So please stop trying to stir up troubles where none exists.

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Steve Collins.jpg== |

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Steve Collins.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. |

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

I see you got an answer. A slightly different format not using the cite template layout (which I find awkward) is at [[Wikipedia:REFB#References_not_online]].

Perhaps, instead of playing such games, you would like to open a RfC or go to AN/I and put your allegations to the community. If not, I would formally request that you stop making personal attacks by referring to me as a "stalker" at every opportunity you get. [[WP:STALK]] should make very clear why this is unfounded. I will not ask again. [[User:Rockpocket|<font color="green">Rockpock</font>]]<font color="black">e</font>[[User_talk:Rockpocket|<font color="green">t</font>]] 01:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 10:31, 26 January 2008
MY ONLY ISSUE ON WIKI IS THE STALKING OF MY EDITS BY ROCKPOCKET - THIS IS AN EDITOR WHO HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE HAS WANTED ME BANNED FOR A LONG TIME.
HE WAS UNABLE TO GET HIS GOAL ACHIEVED IN THE ARBCOM SO HE HAS TRIED EVERYTHING HE CAN TO TRY AND GET ME BANNED SINCE THEN.
WAS I EDITING ARTICLES IN A DISTRUPTIVE MANNER? WAS I CAUSING ANY OTHER KIND OF DISRUPTION? WAS I EDITING CONSTRUCTIVELY?
IF THE REAL ISSUE OF ROCKPOCKET STALKING ME IS NOT ADDRESSED THEN DONT EXPECT ME TO ENGAGE IN THIS PROCESS - CAUSE AND EFFECT!
