edit

Ciao, PIO; potrei darti un suggerimento? sii un pò più guardingo, anzi discreto, nel editare gli articoli, almeno per scongiurare problemi non necessari con altri utenti e quindi potere concentrarti su ciò che è importante: collaborazioni positive ed informazioni precise e basati su fonti attendibili. Certo, io comprendo che talvolta nel calore della polemica ciò è difficile (e certo anch'io ho avuto qualche problema, tu sai bene perchè l'hai letto: ma vedi, l'ho superato a poco a poco, diplomaticamente), però il conflitto generalizzato è raramente utile, e spesso controproducente... Se vuoi includere qualche altro punto di vista che manca in un articolo, per esempio, la migliore soluzione è prima di tutto cercare una fonte scientifica attendibile, preferibilmente non un sito internet. Se la fonte è solida e rispettabile, non ha più argomento alcuno per rimuoverla. Per rettificare informazioni sbagliate o qualche altro aspetto del testo, cerca sempre di incorporare il più possibile le modifiche d'altri editori invece di sopprimerle.

(Ti ringrazio la disposizione di sostenere le mie modifiche più controverse e quelle di Ilario, ma per evitare problemi per te e per proteggere l'integritá del articolo, credo che è meglio seguire il procedimento che ti ho descritto.) Un'altro consiglio: litigi ed attacchi personali, anche come giusta reazione ad una provocazione, non sono mai una buona idea. Ti prego di dare un'occhiata qui[2], qui[3], qui[4] e, magari, qui[5] ;) Distinti saluti, E.Cogoy 01:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Italian irredentism & chauvinism

edit

Hello; I've read from your notice on Dinko Ranjina article wherein you "accuse" me of "nationalism" etc. Well- I am a Croatian nationalist, that's sure. But, your siding with Italian irredentist interventions in numerous Croatia-related articles (user Giovanni Giove, as I recall) is simply unbelievable: this is not "nationalism", but jingoistic chauvinism of the worst kind that any Croat unmistakeably connnects with Italian territorial aspirations, an, not in the least, with unpunished fascist rampage in coastal Croatian during WW2. And you have the temerity to threaten anyone with blockades of any sort ? I would like to put such kind of behavior on wider discussion. Wiki is notr, I believe, a forum for disgruntled irredentist history-twisters. Mir Harven 11:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Lay off Yugoslavia!

edit

I cannot see why you (and other Italians) insist on attacking Tito! Are you aware that the period of Tito's rule was the period of highest economical strength and prosperity in the entire history of this region, that he had the world's most liberal socialist state, a leading nation in the non-aligned movement, that he united the southern slavs for the first and only time in history, that the old Yugoslavia was 10 times more totalitarian than the second etc... Are you proficient in the history of Yugoslavia? Do you know that he was the leader who finally got Italy out of Dalmatia and rebuffed all illegal claims to Istria and the old venetian eastern Adriatic as well as other claims by other nations. I wonder if you hide nationalist wiews under a cover of anti-totalitarianism.

FACTS: - The "big exodus" of Italians out of Istria was a very small affair and was motivated by racial hatred (towards "barbaric" slavs) suddenly turning into unfounded fear. Did you genuinley think that Tito was going to commit genocide against Italians? In 1945? FFS, he had an entire Italian division in his army! - The Italians (if the majority were Italians) killed in the Foibe massacres were fascists and nationalists, and separatists. Are you even aware of your country's CONCENTRATION CAMPS on Dalmatian territory? Those weren't for Jews (mostly), they were for people who said things like: "There are more Croats than Italians in Split." that is a fact from history books. What would you do if say, Germany, smashed your country and then gave chunks of it's territory to Croatia? Than we Croats build concentration camps on your territory and keep there people who were against us. What would you do I wonder to the people who cheer as innocents are being drawn away to die of thirst in these camps? The foibe massacres were spontaneous revenge by the people against their terrorisers (and their supporters). They had nothing to do with the Yugoslav command. I remind you that for Partisans to perform organised killings on a national basis would be riddiculous, since their very foundation is built on the principle of the brotherhood of nations.

Please use non italian reference sources (if you are able to, bah). Since when is Italy the source of historical knowledge? It's documents are mostly incomplete and often biased in comparison to American and UK ones. Believe me, I have read more Italian history books than you possibly could have.

I hope you see your error. DIREKTOR

BTW, AFTER WW2 YUGISLAVIA COULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY PASTED ITALY, IT HAD THE 5th STRONGEST ARMY IN EUROPE. THE ITALIAN ARMY COULDN'T TAKE 200 METERS OF GREEK TERRITORY. IT WAS THE WORLDS MOST COMICAL ARMY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, FAR MORE FAMOUS FOR IT'S RETREATS THAN DEFENCE. :D :D BELIEVE ME, YOU WOULD HAVE A BORDER ON THE RIVER PAD (PO) IF YOU HADN'T COWARDLY BACKED DOWN OVER TRST (TRIESTE). This is military fact. DIREKTOR

Accusations and attacks

edit

Relax PIO, and Read this carefully: A TERRIBLE CRIME WAS COMMITED. MANY ITALIANS WERE KILLED BY THE PARTISANS. I am not a "negationist", I will merely not let you blow this out of proportion. The numbers of victims were certainly below 10,000 (most level headed ITALIAN historians set the figure at 5000) and many of them were Yugoslavs and Germans, in any case this cannot be called ethnic cleansing. Many of the Italians certainly were RSI fascist supporters, responsible for many Yugoslav CVILIAN deaths (much, much more than Italian deaths, this is well known). And finally, if you would like to talk about negationism! why did the Italian government not extradite the Italian war criminals? They were (together) responsible for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS. No, I am not exaggerating, check the numbers, (as I frequently point out) Yugoslavia had 1,700,000 casualties, easily for times that of Italy. WHY WERE THEY NOT EXTRADITED?, if you would like to discuss negationism... That is why I find it disgusting that Italians want to blow out of proportion this crime, that is PUNY compared to the Italian ones commited over a period of four long years (concentration camps, punitive expeditions against whole villages and, indeed, towns, etc...).
Oh, I absolutely adore war. Are you going to declare war on Croatia now? Where would you go during feragosto then?
As I keep saying: ONLY NON BIASED (NON-ITALIAN, NON-YUGOSLAV) SOURCES CAN BE ALLOWED IN SUCH HEAVILY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES.
I reached no compromise with anyone, SINCE NOONE DISCUSSED ANYTHING. DIREKTOR 23:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Direktor and his many forums

edit

Hi. This message is to inform you that the forumer Direktor is a well know propagandist of tito-style propaganda on the internet. He has been banned from other forums because of his harrassment against italians in Istria and Dalmatia. He has used other nicknames and WRITES ALWAYS IN A SYNCHRONIZED GROUP WITH OTHERS, who support him. He always writes to be of distant italian roots in order to obtain support for his harrassments (he often identifies Italians in Dalmatia with fascists), and writes even to be a "not nationalist" while he promotes fanatically the tito yugoslavia with many lies and deceits. An Italian forumer born in Istria.


Yeah, this is probably "LEO"... Well, I do not work in a synchronised group with others, I was never banned from any forum whatsoever (in fact I do not frequent forums), I do have Italian roots (I stated that on my talkpage far before any conflict with Italian users arose), I have never used other nicks (why should I?), I do not identify Italians in Dalmatia with fascists (my family were Italians in Dalmatia), and I believe Tito was correct in his denouncement of nationalism as a disgusting ideology wich only brings forth suffering (like in the recent Yugoslav wars).

Istrian exiles

PIO, my friend, the list is indeed important; that's why it should be accurate. As our friend Ko'oy has pointed out, for example, "Alida Valli had left the region long before the war". So we need good verifiable encyclopedic sources about this. What I propose is that you bring the names forward one by one and we'll check them together, and when we establish that a particular person was part of the exodus we'll put their name on the list. Is that reasonable? Until then, I'll revert your change. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 22:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ti rispondo veloce. Innanzitutto, l'utente risulta essere bannato in maniera indefinita, e con una storia non da poco di blocchi. WP:AN/I è conseguentemente un posto inappropriato per discutere su questo ban, è roba da WP:ARBCOM per intenderci.

Sei libero in ogni caso di aprire una discussione presso l'ArbCom, nel qual caso potrò consentirmi di fare un intervento a riguardo, che non necessariamente sarà di supporto nei confronti dell'utente in questione (ma non farci troppo affidamento, ho poco tempo ultimamente, è per questo che ti sto rispondendo solo adesso).

Conflict of interest by blocking admin.

Edit warring at National sport

edit

You are currently involved in an edit war at National sport. Please remember that such behaviour does not benefit Wikipedia in any way, and in fact you may be blocked for it (especially, but not always, if you have made four or more reverts in 24 hours).

Therefore, please remember: if you are having a dispute with somebody over an article, you must follow the dispute resolution process - that is, discuss your differences with the other parties. Sometimes, that is all it takes: leave a message on their talk page, and come to an agreement civilly and peacefully. Once again, bear in mind that revert warring is not acceptable and you may be blocked for it: you should consider this a final warning on the matter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

And if you really paid attention I did took things in the mediation into consideration and even participated in there more than you I think. And I know the difference between popular and national but for the other sports it just says their popularity in a specific factor like tv, attendance while over the states and territory cricket has a stable popularity with the highest popularity nationally without breaking it up into segments.

I am not sure about using the source you tried to include - it is just a collection of figures collected from various sports federations, with no information about how the figures were derived. The volleyball federation itself is quoted as saying there is something wrong with comparing the volleyball and soccer figures. The other source is fine, but not really relevant. The most followed sporting event doesn't really tell us which sport is most popular (that is the mistake that Fourplay has been making with rugby league). Even if we could compare single events to compare the popularity of sports, it would be unfair to compare a multiple-sports event such as the Olympics (which includes soccer, after all) with a World Cup in a single sport.

RE:Advice

edit

The Australian Gov source says that the Olympics is the largest event in the world, and that the World Cup is the second largest. It does not make clear what it is referring to, I believe it is a mixture of number of events, number of stadiums etc but I cannot be sure. Do you know what it is referring to? The source doesn't mention viewing figures which is what is written into the Lead, nor popularity which is also in the Lead. The Johann and Sandra site is not verifiable so cannot be used. As always, questions are most welcome on my talkpage. Regards. Woody (talk) 14:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I know you are in constant edit wars with another user over Australia's national sport, but please, please, please stop removing other people's edits while you two argue. Twice today I have had to undo one of your edits to re-introduce wikilinks, and numerous improvements to grammar, that you are reverting straight away claiming "sourced info".

Mediation Closed

edit

After trying at this for over a month, I am of the opinion that we have exhausted all possible options. Every conceivable wording has been put forward, and still there is dissent over which version should be used on the various pages. Therefore, I am declaring this mediation at an impasse and have closed it. Parties should continue to discuss it and may seek out other forms of dispute resolution. I would advise all parties involved to remain civil and to follow proper policies in handling the matter further. Thank you. MBisanz talk 05:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Blocked for edit warring

edit

Although you have not violated the three-revert rule, you have nonetheless been edit warring at National sport. Therefore, I regret to inform you that I have blocked you for a week. In the future, you need to avoid repeatedly reverting others' edits in this way. If you wish to contest this block, you may add {{unblock|reason}} to your talk page. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 18:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I re-looked at your block log and noticed most of your blocks are not for edit warring, so I've changed your block length to 55 hours. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 18:07, 1 March 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).

PIO (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

of course I contest this block because is no violation by me and I follow step by step rules of dispute resolution: all you read this step and other step started by me. I also posted a lot of comments in user talk:THUGCHILDz, user talk:AlasdairGreen27‎, user talk:Guy0307‎, user talk:Richard Rundle and user talk:Ashwinosoft‎: all they are total nonsense POV warned warriors because [this edit] citing in edit summary a consensus version which is inexistent is also nonsense and lier concept. I also reported THUGCHILDz in noticeboard/incidents twice. I also posted a lot of comments in user talk:AGK, or admin who protected article after my request, and user talk:MBisanz or admin who reported these vandalisms by two citated nonsense POV warriors. My action of multiple edits in article and multiple comments to other editors is collaboration despite insults against me: in fact [this edit] and [my comment] is a form of collaboration but if you block me stop also this collaboration. I consider this block against only me a crazy action: maybe do you like other total nonsense POV warned warriors and warned vandals???? I suggest you to consult MBisanz and AGK who know this dispute. I also didn't use sockpuppets. You broke my patience by these crazy blocks and I want to abandon this impossible and idiot projiect which was invented for mental disturbed!!!!

PIO, what edit do you want to make to your user page? Addhoc (talk) 12:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

In my u.p. I would like explain reasons of my escape from this site. In fact this projiect is a failure and principal reasons are:

  1. All articles are total empty of original researchs conducted by important scientists who signed their statements
  2. Almost all editors are ignorants who systematically to engage long edit wars with expert editors who obviously don't want to lose time in surrealistic discussions; example: for article national sport I lost 2 months explaining to nonsense POV warned warriors and warned vandals citated above regarding rugby union is by far the most popular sport in New Zealand but they push cricket in every corner
  3. Almost all admins are ignorants who systematically block expert editors
  4. Almost all admins systematically block without technical certainty pertinent sockpuppetry; example: this is evidence because request by a warned vandal was declined; this vandal also removed main characteristic of every national sport
  5. Rules pertinent this projiect are confused and in contradiction; example: you claim this projiect free or open but you systematically ban totally a lot of editors while you can block users during 2 or 3 months at the maximum
  6. You ignore totally contributions of editors when you ban them; example: I was banned in section of Italian language but they to conserve 36000 my contributions of almost 6 years considering also when I was unlogged; in fact I request a payment for my contributions because slavery is a crime in all nations!!!!--PIO (talk) 14:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
You really can't request payment. You agreed to the conditions when you edited, they clearly state that no one receives payment for the contributions. Guy0307 (talk) 11:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Guy0307, I can request a payment with a lawyer and public action because the conditions are systematically breaked by admins who are payed by Jmbo Wales.--PIO (talk) 12:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm closing this as moot since the block will expire on its own in a little over an hour if I do the math right. Please understand that (1) calling other good faith users vandals is not very nice, (2) if you can't convince anyone else of your viewpoint, that doesn't mean then it may be that you need to accept that your viewpoint is not supported by the facts, and (3) repeatedly reverting the articles is inherently disruptive. After 1:06 GMT (if I do the math right), your block should expire - if you are still blocked after that, please make another unblock request and include the autoblock ID in your block message - an admin will have to fix it manually. --B (talk) 23:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please note that editing on your IP while being blocked is unacceptable, and will only earn you longer blocks, if you continue in this manner. -- lucasbfr talk 14:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Two days ago I posted this request to unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org but no answer: may you post this request in correct manner?

To request unblocking: IP address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:151.67.... Blocking admin: Yamla Block reason: Legal threat, [15] Block originally applied to: PIO Your account name: PIO An explanation of why your block is unfair:

it's unfair because admin Yamla misunderstood my words! I made simply a hypothetical example pertinent my ban in section of wiki in Italian language but not involving section in English language! I have no intention for legal threat against section in English language or Italian language but these sections are different and I never made legal threat against section in English language! This is evidence: I never made legal threat against an editor or admin in section of English language and my words regarding wiki in Italian language were about a hypothetical case which is total inexistent! Regards. PIO, 9 Mar 2008

PIO, saying this is a legal threat: "In fact I request a payment for my contributions because slavery is a crime in all nations!!!!" Guy0307 (talk) 15:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
The legal threat was this: "Guy0307, I can request a payment with a lawyer and public action because the conditions are systematically breaked by admins who are payed by Jmbo Wales." Do you accept that this was wrong and that you agree to retract the statement and not make legal threats again? Woody (talk) 16:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
He appears to have at least partially retracted the legal threat here. Also, he can't reply on this page, because it's protected. He has confirmed that he intends to leave the project, and wants to be unblocked to edit his user page. Addhoc (talk) 16:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I have unprotected this page now. Onto the topic at hand. Saying that you will get lawyers involved goes against no legal threats. When you were unblocked you have continued to attack other editors who disagree with you and get in a myriad of edit wars. You have not explicitly stated that you will not make legal threats again. Woody (talk) 16:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
  1. I have no intention employng lawyers: OK or no?
  2. in that answer to warned vandal Guy0307 I considered a hypothetical case pertinent Italian wiki which is out of this section: OK or no?
  3. there are a myriad of edit wars in wiki but responsability is not mine: OK or no?
  4. I intend to request annulment of ban against me because Yamla misunderstood my words: OK or no? Regards, PIO 9 March 2008
That you have said you did not mean the legal threat is a big step forward. You did say it though, hypothetical or not, it was a clear threat to involve lawyers to recompense you for services rendered, which goes completely against the spirit of Wikipedia. If you can't accept that then you should leave.
You are still uncivil and rude to those that disagree with you. Stop calling Guy a vandal, he is as much a vandal as you are. There are a plethora of edit wars across the Wikipedia, and you have been involved in plenty of them. (Association football, National sport etc.) That you continue to push your point of view against Wikipedia policies such as No original research, civility guidelines and the verifiability guidelines. If you cannot accept that Wikipedia is not a place for original research, then, again, you shouldn't be here.
If you can agree to be civil and talk through your disagreements in a civil manner on talkpages, then I will ask the blocking admin for their input. I will add that if you are incivil or begin edit warring again then I will reblock you. Do you agree? Woody (talk) 17:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oh, and PIO, log in and edit here. Using your IP will result in them being blocked for block evasion. Woody (talk) 17:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Woody, your POV is this: Guy0307 is a vandal like as me; but Guy0307 was warned by admins for vandalism and I never: OK or no? I am not a vandal!!!! I am in good faith then you can unblocking me: do you agree? Now I off computer because I am on work.--PIO (talk) 18:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

It is not a POV, you are both as bad as each other and both of you have received vandalism warnings, see #January 2008 and #National Sport above. Receiving vandalism warnings does not make you a vandal. A vandal is someone who consistently disrupts the encyclopedia through introducing incorrect information, blatant profanities etc, against the guidelines of Wikipedia. I think you are acting in good faith, i.e. the development of an encyclopedia, but you go about it in the wrong way, against Wikipedia guidelines and policies. You haven't agreed to my conditions so I will not unblock you yet. Woody (talk) 18:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've recieved one Vandalism warning, and I've already apologised and agreed I won't do it again. I don't think PIO is a vandal. I think that he simply can't agree to any version other than his which is a bit of a problem in Wikipedia. If he could agree to the current version (which was agreed by all editors involved except him) then I'd have no problems with him. I don't care about his Legal Threats. And PIO, if I haven't already, I'm officaly apologising for vandalising your user page. Guy0307 (talk) 03:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Block duration changed

edit

Ok, PIO, I have changed the duration of the block to 10 days from now, which makes it a two-week block for the current incident. This was agreed with the original blocking admin. This is primarily due to your use of IPs to circumvent blocks. If you agree to not use IPs per the sockpuppetry policy during the remainder of this block, then I am sure that the duration can be shortened, or even it being lifted. I hope you will take this second chance in the spirit in which it is being given. I do hope you will abide by Wikipedia guidelines from now on. Regards. Woody (talk) 15:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well Woody, sure I will not edit evading this block by you but I care to advise you regarding a lot of IPs with initial numbers 151.67 which stay in my area or near it and somebody can edit in involved articles by edit wars: I hope you consider this problem. Regards,--PIO (talk) 15:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

1. This is the English Wiki. I understand Italian, but not everyone does. Post your messages in English.
2. Stop calling me a "warned vandal". I am not a vandal.
3. You have been blocked/banned from editing on many occasions [16]. What has caused this?
4. Why do you keep canvassing to get THUGCHILDz banned? [17]? Haven't you heard of WP:AGF?
5. I have tried to encourage you to communicate and participate in dialogue [18]. It's not in your nature to do so. You are a POV warrior.
6. Almost all of your edits get reverted within about 20 minutes. Why do you think this is?
7. When I entered the WP:RFCU it was declined because it was so stupidly obvious that the IP was you. It was considered not worth checking, and it was why you got your latest ban.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for I think it's enough. You've started to contribute here because you were banned on the Italian Wikipedia, but what you've done here is attack (in Italian) itwiki's administrators for itwiki stuff, not factively contribute to the *English* encyclopedia. We've waited much more than what you deserved, but you have shown no sign of trying to reform, and you haven't desisted for a minute in your campaign of harassment and personal attacks against other users..

Review of block

edit

I have been requested by PIO, via email, to review this block and its merits. I will start by saying I fully concur with these blocks—I issued a final caution to PIO for edit warring in articles, which he proceeded, it appears, to completely disregard. I am very much not impressed by his conduct, and I think allowing him to contribute here would not be, in any way, beneficial to the project.

PIO is a banned editor at the italian wikipedia; the very fact that I can immediately understand why, after less than five minutes reviewing his talk page, is a resounding "no" in response to his request for a block review. Generally, I would prefer to provide a snapshot of evidence, detailing why PIO's conduct is disruptive, and then drawing a conclusion that restoring his editing privileges would have a negative effect on the project.

In this case, I think it is prudent to not waste any further time on this issue, and to skip straight to the conclusion part: PIO, I am declining to unblock you. Please cease contacting administrators on this issue (as a related point, you have a history of forum shopping—again, not impressive), and let it be. You may no longer edit on the english wikipedia. Please go, and find something to do with your time—in response to your attempts to edit here, it's a "thanks, but no thanks".

All the best, in whatever you go on to do.
