let go of the stick

I think it might be time to drop the accusation about trying to RFC USA terror to death.Slatersteven (talk) 17:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I was finished with it yesterday. Two editors brought it up today. But I think it's finished now that the issue of not deleting article by one editor is settled.

Hey Hey Ms Carol

Happy New Year. Hey Ms Carol hope your well. Hey have you read Nassim Taleb yet? You should read the "Black Swan" the chapter on Hayek is truly brilliant. Let me know if you need any help. LoveMonkey (talk) 03:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a fun/smart/on target guy. I can see him lecturing and entertaining looters who try to get into his house when it all goes bad. At least they probably won't kill him when they leave. Sigh... CarolMooreDC (talk) 04:49, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes LOL. I think your right. And when they loot the rest of us they will find nothing worth having! Have a wonderful year Ms Carol :>) LoveMonkey (talk) 14:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

'Abrahamic' religions

There are not more than three 'Abrahamic' religions. The term is a modern one, and the claims to a relationship with Abraham by non-Jews are tenuous even in philosophical sense, never mind one that can be documented outside of the Hebrew texts. For example there are no notable historical figures in either past or present Christian or Islamic theology that are named after AbrahamKoakhtzvigad (talk) 02:22, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I actually wasn't familiar with calling them that til heard something in passing on tv recently and read the wikipedia article - though not very carefully. So don't really have a strong opinion. Just seemed like a more specific adjective for what I thought were the three related ones than "patriarchal." Maybe will just go back to that. :-) CarolMooreDC (talk) 04:11, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Books anything but simple

Carol, as you may not know, google books doesn't provide the same level of within book viewing between various states. Was Boaz the author of that chapter in Boaz? Fifelfoo_m (talk) 02:02, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

I shouldn't have just copied editor in cause when checked realized that Boaz not editor but author of whole book. As the "about" testified. Also, sometimes one can double check factoids on "Look inside" if it's available on Amazon.com. CarolMooreDC (talk) 02:09, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

the version linked to prior to my run through was structurally part of the CATO web exerpts of The Primer. I obviously have a very large irritation towards the editor who provided such a half arsed citation. Excuse my en_au but bad citation shits me to tears because it cuts off rational debate and turns sourcing into shitty argumentum ad autoritum Fifelfoo_m (talk) 04:47, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

yes, it can be frustrating. But it took me two years before started using books google, and 6 months to figure out how to do it halfway right. CarolMooreDC (talk) 05:14, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Comments

I made some comments at User_talk:Spaceclerk#ANI which partly discusses you, I feel it is only fair to give you a heads up on the mention :) --Errant ^(chat!) 15:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

COIN

Per feedback, I have moved my concerns to WP:COIN. I think it will be best for both of us to get these concerns resolved on the merits once and for all. Jehochman ^Talk 20:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

In contrast to my mere POV issues, hopefully these real COIN concerns about you will be addressed, as I wrote at the WP:Conflict of interest noticeboard. More at your talk page. CarolMooreDC (talk) 21:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

I didn't see anything at my talk page. I only edit for education, amusement or procrastination. It's a weird hobby. Most of what catches my attention are things like U-853, Russian submarine K-152 Nerpa, Gamma ray burst, Battle of Coral Sea, often related to WWII, Cold War, astronomy or Internet technology. Jehochman ^Talk 04:35, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Patience. I have so much to learn from Kenilworth Terrace :-) CarolMooreDC (talk) 13:06, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Would you mind, please, striking an accusations you've made against me until such time as you have the evidence to back them up? Thank you. I'll admit that the COI case against you is not very strong. The matter is really an appearance of WP:ADVOCACY, which is an area of evolving policy. I hope you are willing to listen to feedback and possibly make modifications in your approach. (I won't determine that; somebody uninvolved like Kenilworth is who you should listen to.) And if you feel like I'm being unfair to you at any point, please leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jehochman ^Talk 15:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Be specific. I already struck a couple things that are more appropriately brought up in an COIN I might do against you. (But only if actual evidence should show itself. I haven't even asked a question on your talk page yet.) Also, your approach of screaming bigotry instead of dealing with real issues in an NPOV way isn't working out too good, as I know others have told you by now on 2 or 3 boards and the talk page, but I don't feel like searching out all the diffs. CarolMooreDC (talk) 15:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, I made a guess about what recent comment you meant. Feel free to think about what you meant for when and if I get around to officially asking you on your talk page. I'd rather work on improving articles, personally. CarolMooreDC (talk) 15:36, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate a lot of your efforts to improve articles. I hope we can get along in spite of the fact that we occasionally have strong editorial disagreements. Jehochman ^Talk 15:49, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Clarification

You asked about this diff. What I meant was the our definition of WP:COI has fuzzy edges. It is often hard to classify whether editing is COI, or WP:UNDUE or WP:SOAP (see WP:ADVOCACY for a more nuanced description). Your thoughts and criticism on these issues is welcomed. Wikipedia policies in these areas are complex and evolving. Jehochman ^Talk 15:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

If it's difficult, than don't go rushing to WP:COIN, especially when you haven't gone to my talk page to ask me first, according to WP:COI last time I read it. Thanks. CarolMooreDC (talk) 15:52, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Neutrality board

Point of order, I think it would go to miscellany for deletion, no? Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:43, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. That should stick in my mind since I just archived something quick that was deleted through that. I'll give it some time. CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:45, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Your COI concerns on my talk page

No. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:28, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

FYI

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for attempting to harass other users. Once the block has expired, you're 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. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:36, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

This was far beyond the pale.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

please use this time to evaluate your role in wp. i hope in the future you will direct your energy toward content. there is a chance you have become too enthusiastic in enforcing your understanding of wp policy. Darkstar1st (talk) 21:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Unblock request

Note: block has been reduced to 1 week, per continuing AN/I discussion. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 23:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

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).

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

---

Request reason:

(Trying to correct per complaints as template suggests I can): I realize that all the harassment I was putting up with this week from a number of users in a number of places was not an excuse for a) thinking the best place and way to approach just one user I had an issue with was an explicit WP:COI question on his talk page which made highly negative assumptions about his personal behavior because of the areas in which he was editing and attacked him based on those assumptions; b) not realizing that Wikia, even if owned by Jimmy Wales, is an Off-Wiki site; and c) assuming that because another editor linked there from this discussion at WikiProject Feminism and posted controversial links from wikipedia editors there, it was OK for me to link to my WP:COI question there. (I have asked the originator of the Wikia page to take it down, both at the page and via email, so no one else gets in trouble.)

While I don’t have a problem with a short block of a week or so for my failure to think straight under the circumstances, I feel that three months is unjustly long, given the lack of administrative response when I went to Wikiquette about harassment this week and another editor went to WP:ANI with related concerns. So do many of the editors at the relevant WP:ANI

I certainly do not want this to happen again and will have to continue to look for appropriate venues to ask for help when harassment issues arise long before it gets to the point I lose my temper and common sense. If there is some Wikipedia administrative group that advises people on dealing with this sort of thing, I’m very sorry I missed it. If there isn’t, maybe one could be created. Thanks for your attention. CarolMooreDC (talk) 17:44, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

User below agrees to wait until block expires. --Jayron32 06:18, 24 January 2011 (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.

I would conditionally support an unblock or shortening. The condition is that Carolmooredc has stop talking about other people in her unblock request, and agree to cease all battlefield-style activity. If she is just going to come back and start slagging people (myself included) again, filing retaliatory noticeboard threads, and making baseless or retaliatory accusations, then unblocking can't be done yet. Any wrongdoing by people is irrelevant to her own unblock request. She has to stop trying to shift blame to other people. This type of projection is exactly what lead to the block. If she wants to edit hot topics related to race, religion and ethnic conflicts, she has to keep cool, and she has to be ready to deal with questions about her possible biases without going to DEFCON 1. Jehochman ^Talk 18:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't see her shifting the blame. It seems like she's accepted responsibility for losing her temper, stated that what she did off-wiki was inappropriate, and that she cared enough that she took the time/effort to email the site admin to takedown the offensive content. She's owned up to what she's done, explained its origins, and is ready to move on and get back to editing. Given how productive of an editor she is, it is absurd to have a punitive 3-month block on her account, now that she's acknowledged that it is a mistake, and that she won't do it again.

But it seems that in addition to this, she is also asking you and other users who have been hounding her about her personal/political views and what she does in her personal life, to stop; and also to stop insinuating that she's anti-Semitic. This is what you are calling "shifting the blame". But that's inaccurate. In reality she's simply asking you to accept responsibility for your own actions, which played every bit as much of a role in this conflict as hers did. She's asking you and other editors who have been hounding her ((Such as User:Darkstar1st, whose recent edit warring blocks, talk page I'd highly suggest people taking a look at, especially regarding his history with CarolMooreDC at Talk:Libertarianism, and his tendency to falsely label people anti-Semitic and misrepresent disputes)) to accept responsibility for your actions, and to stop badgering her about her politics and implying that she's anti-Semitic. This seems like a fair and reasonable request to me. It seems to me that you do need to "keep cool" with the aspersions regarding anti-Semitism and "advocacy", and stop portraying yourselves as neutral observers who are simply trying to remove "anti-American POV", while CarolMooreDC is just your typical career left-wing anti-semitic(?) activist, who is unable to remain neutral (like you, of course). Doing so will help resolve the dispute. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 19:15, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Please don't lump me in with such people. There's been a lot of partisan noise. Please take it with a grain of salt. Jehochman ^Talk 22:58, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

There does not appear to have been consensus for a block, or at least a long block, at ANI.[1] TFD (talk) 18:11, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I continue to reject the allegations of "harassment" of CarolMooreDC by me. These repeated unsunbstantiated accusations seem to constitute further harassment of me per WP:AOHA. Does CarolMooreDC accept that her posting on my talk page was, and was intended to be, an unjustified grossly personally offensive attack?

I have commented further at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Unblock_request. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:26, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I would urge that Carolmooredc not be unblocked until she figures out what was wrong with asking "if you are financially benefiting yourself by engaging in a little written free sadism against a female".--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:30, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

"too personal" was not the issue. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't think you do. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

That last change was heading in the right direction, at least. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

oppose unblock, support block carol appears to have much knowledge of wp:policy, the block is fitting the offence. Darkstar1st (talk) 19:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

• Support reduction of block. While I generally support the imposition of blocks for personal attacks, I think a 3 month block for a first offense without a warning may be a bit excessive. Especially now that the user has retracted the attack, apologized, and pledged to work through dispute resolution venues in the future. Kaldari (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

• Support reduction of block mostly per Kaldari. I generally think that duration of a block should roughly match the timescale of the disruption leading to it. Considering the overall pattern of CM's editing over the last several days, which to me shows clear evidence of disruptive battleground behaviour, I think one week is appropriate. I am not convinced that an immediate unblock would not lead to a resumption of the behaviour, even though the proximate issue has been addressed. Franamax (talk) 20:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose unblock. Kaldari, it's not a first offence, far from it. On the same day as the above, she decided that I was linked to CAMERA, a pro-right-wing-Israeli lobby group (even though I was involved in a user account associated with CAMERA being blocked). And that my link to that group was connected in some unexplained way to my suggestion of setting up an advocacy noticeboard. [2] Just like the attack on Kenilworth, it's neither true nor coherent—and she hasn't even acknowledged that it was incorrect—and this is very much the problem with Carol's involvement with Wikipedia, both in terms of editing and interaction with other editors. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 20:59, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
  • I don't see any previous blocks on her account, but I'm not familiar with her editing history. If she is a disruptive editor concerning Israel/Palestine, you should seek a topic ban. She seems to be a productive and collaborative editor on other topics, as far as I can tell. Kaldari (talk) 00:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Can you give an example of that, Kaldari? I have only ever seen problems along similar lines. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 00:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Libertarianism and related articles. Fifelfoo (talk) 01:00, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks. Can you give some diffs showing the addition of good content? I'm not doubting it, but it would save me having to search. I'm a bit concerned about this diff from September, for example, where she starts the article with a dictionary definition from Merriam Webster, rather than the academic's description already in the next sentence.

  Also, the link doesn't say what she wrote that it said. Carol wrote: Libertarianism is the advocacy of the maximization of freedom of thought and action." The dictionary she linked to said: "A person who upholds the principles of individual liberty especially of thought and action." [3] Upholding the principle is not the same as maximization, and what kind of liberty is there apart from thought and action? So "especially" seems odd: a good reason not to use general dictionaries as sources for philosophical concepts. But read her edit summary. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 01:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Perhaps you ought to read Libertarianism's talk archives. The reason why TERTIARY sources were being used was that a circle of POV pushers were claiming two things: firstly, that a series of primary sources were secondary and their opinions were notable; and, secondly, that a real world walled garden of commercially operated think tanks from the United States ought to be taken as the totality of the literature available. In addition, by constantly revisiting consensus, this circle had jammed the editorial process on the talk page. Carol's work on Libertarianism was firmly for sourcing from secondaries by appropriate weighting procedure, and from HQRS tertiaries. Fifelfoo (talk) 01:28, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• I can understand the need to defer to mainstream tertiary sources where there's a dispute, but using a dictionary to define a philosophical idea is never acceptable. Going beyond what that dictionary says is even worse. When people say that an editor should be unblocked because they make good content contributions, it makes sense to give examples. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 04:06, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• I don't think you're broadly familiar with Carol's work on wikipedia. I don't believe I said "good content contributions". Carol's work with libertarianism has been NPOV, WEIGHT, dispute resolution on Talk: over twelve months of POV pushing. Throughout this Carol maintained highly collaborative behaviour. All of which is "productive and collaborative" editing. As you may know Libertarianism is not a philosophical idea, but a series of mutually incompatible political movements in social reality. I'm finding the authority you're claiming here to be fundamentally bizarre. Fifelfoo (talk) 04:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Libertarianism is an idea academic philosophers have written a great deal about, because it involves ideas about natural rights, contracts, and the objectivity or otherwise of moral values. It would be better to use academic sources in the article, whether philosophers or others, or at least high-quality tertiary sources, rather than dictionaries. What authority am I claiming? SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 04:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• …; Yes, and that is covered amply at a completely different article, Libertarianism_(metaphysics). Libertarianism discusses a minor US ideology, and an even smaller appendage to that ideology, and a sequence of 20th century revolutionary social movements with interlinked ideologies in the United States, Western Central and Eastern Europe and South America. I'd strongly suggest you actually learn about Carol's editorial history before making your carte blanch statements. You appear to have a completely ungrounded comprehension of this editor, and her work here. Fifelfoo (talk) 04:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• This isn't the place to discuss that article, but the one you linked to is a different set of ideas. Libertarianism is a source of much philosophical writing, and it ought to be used in the article. Regarding Carol, I've been asking you for examples of good work; I can't force you to give any, but it would help her case if you did. That's all I'm going to say for now. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 04:52, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Here is a link to the discussion surrounding that edit in Talk Archive 22. It was made after an editor set up an RfC, supported by Darkstar1st, to change the article to "Libertarian (word)". Presumably Carol was attempting to form a compromise. TFD (talk) 05:00, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• "Regarding Carol, I've been asking you for examples of good work; I can't force you to give any, but it would help her case if you did." No, you've been dictating a discourse, and acting with extreme hostility towards me when your right to do so has been challenged. You have no familiarity with the editor in question's work on wikipedia, and, when invited to become familiar you have again acted with hostility and assumed a position of untrammelled authority. I have informed you of Carol's work, and where to find it, and your resulting behaviour has been to attempt to hegemonise a taxonomic belief regarding an article. You could well do to inspect your own civility. Fifelfoo (talk) 05:12, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• I apologize for the bizarre authority I'm claiming, for my dictation of a discourse, and above all for my hegemonising of a taxonomic belief, which sounds really painful. :) SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 05:20, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks. If you're actually interested in Carol's positive editorial contributions, you can either take me at my word at "04:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)", or you can choose to read the archives at Talk:Libertarianism for 2010. Having lived through Libertarianism in 2010, I'd suggest taking me at my word. Fifelfoo (talk) 05:31, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Carol has also been a productive and collaborative editor in economics and feminism related articles. Can we please end the "trial" now? Once again, this is not the appropriate venue. The matter at hand has been settled. Can we please disengage and move on? Kaldari (talk) 19:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Question from Jrtayloriv

Carol -- Just to alleviate people's concerns that you don't understand why what you did was wrong, could you answer the following:

1. Do you acknowledge that your personal attacks towards User:Kenilworth Terrace were totally inappropriate and unneccessary?
2. Why do you feel these attacks were inappropriate?
3. What are you going to do differently in the future if you feel you are being harassed by a group of editors?

Thanks, Jrtayloriv (talk) 19:22, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

First, I just realized via your question that I could answer here. (Assuming it saves.)

1. Yes, I finally get that my attacks were totally inappropriate and unneccessary? I confess I did not at first, even this morning.
2. I realize I made inappropriate attacks after looking at his contributions and assuming some highly speculative personal motivation and then asking him about it in an offensive way. I would not be at all surprised if others have made negative assumptions about me based on looking at my contributions history and attacked me, so the user does have my sincere sympathies and apologies.
3. What to do differently when groups go after me? Write a better Wikiquette naming several people? Go to WP:ANI naming several people? Do User:RfCs naming several people? That is where I admit I need further advice - i.e., when the harassment continues, even despite one or more editors or admins warning the harasser(s).
4. Since a 7.5 year old off wiki email is often the focus of harassment, and so far the advice is not to go into detail about it, I don't know how to defend the recurrent references to it. Let me say again, it was a stupid, overly generalized and exaggerated response to weeks of harassment and threats, but certainly not written with some evil bigoted intent. I feel that a lengthy correction of it complete with refs about then existing specific incidents/issues/etc, or stating in detail my current views, would be inappropriate, even on my user page and doubtless lead to more accusations by people who have a different POV. But if there's some policy on this that I missed, I sure wish people would help me out with that. CarolMooreDC (talk) 20:02, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Has it ever crossed you mind that the reason that this 7.5 year old email is being dug up is that your editing of Allegations of Jewish control of the media seems in the eyes of those who dig the email up to be advancinge the view expressed in that email that Jews do in fact exercise a pernicious control over the media? And does it occur to you that these criticisms may be motivated by a genuine concern for what Wikipedia says rather than out of a malicious desire to pick on you?--Peter cohen (talk) 20:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

(insert)Peter, since I have always found you reasonable, I am glad you finally bring this up with me since I was concerned that you expressed negative views on the WP:ANI that I had not seen before. I think I've stated my actual position several times: while there may be some individual Jews or groups of Jews in some media industries who may work together for certain purposes, as even some WP:RS admit, and as evidence might show, that does not mean that Jews work to control all media. The only place I've suggested that it be brought up in the article is when WP:RS say it as part of their argument that even if Jews do have disproportionate power here and there, it doesn't prove they control or seek to control all of media. I was going to put such relevant material in the article last weekend, but with the new spate of attacks, I could not focus, even put the material on the talk page for discussion after someone expressed their problem with using any such material at all. CarolMooreDC (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Carol — though I don't know about every detail of this, I wanted to say something more in general. There are certain people who will always point to stuff that happened in the past (7.5 years ago should be proof enough); they will never let go of it, and their goal seems to be to get rid of you, no matter what you say or try. In this case, as difficult as it may be, your only option is to ignore it. Don't even bother filing a complaint, don't bother going to any noticeboard. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 20:20, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I read through Carol's recent edits to the media article and could find nothing that was POV and ask that you examine the edits as well. TFD (talk) 05:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• Apology accepted. Thank you. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

On your #3 above, this may sound fatuous but imo the first step is to decide on your own emotional state. You can tell yourself "Editors repeatedly raise concerns with me about what they feel is my inappropriate editing. I am going to deal with these concerns calmly and clearly and I am going to make sure that my own edits and behaviours are unimpeachable." - or you can tell yourself "I am right and they are wrong. I am being harassed." and then go on to retaliate in whatever way you can and repeat "harassment" over and over. As far as what to do if you have made an honest attempt to communicate directly with those raising the concerns (i.e. on user talk pages), I dunno, perhaps mediation would work. Alternatively, a RFC/U on the individuals or perhaps one on yourself where you outline the concerns that have been raised and why you think those concerns are unjustified. In that last case, you would need to do some "writing for the enemy" to present their case fairly before you refute it, or perhaps invite them to contribute to the framing of the RFC. Just some thoughts... Franamax (talk) 20:54, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

There are a lot more men than women on Wikipedia. There are a lot more Israeli editors than plain population numbers might suggest. What conclusions are drawn from these is another matter. Being blocked is never fun. I just completed a twelve hour block that I hotly contested the justification for.3 months is a long long time for a lapse of judgement that has been acknowledged and apologised for.Ironically my own block was regarding discussion and freedom on the discussion page of Attack pages policy to which Carolmooredc had contributed substantially and cogently. Maybe such efforts of Carol's could be taken into consideration in considering reducing her banishment. I suggest Carol that you use the time to move beyond these wikiwalls. go dig a pond or plant a tree. I got into a heated debate with another editor over adding 10 names to a hundred name cast list of a 30 year old cop show .Silly. Life is elsewhere.--— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht ^Talk/_Stalk 21:51, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Where are you getting your data from? As an editor involved at times with Israel related articles I did not notice a greater percentage of Israeli editors then from any other country with a similar socio-economic culture. If anything there are less, due to the topic bans frequently dished out in the I-A conflict area.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 17:30, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

• If you feel I am hounding you, and speaking directly with me does not alleviate your concerns, go talk to an experienced, completely uninvolved editor and ask them to review your concerns and then share feedback with me. When communication becomes difficult, it can be really helpful to get an uninvolved third party to intervene. Jehochman ^Talk 23:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
  • I would like to echo Jehochman's suggestion. Next time, get a third party involved rather than acting on your frustrations. If Wikiquette alerts doesn't work, find an admin you trust and discuss it with them personally. Kaldari (talk) 00:19, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Per recent discussion on AN/I, I have reduced your block to one week. Further discussion may result in further reductions, depending on community consensus. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 23:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

i think it would be interesting to see what carol would edit if you reduced the ban to the topics she has edited in the 30 days. i wonder if her obvious zest for wp would be applied to non political articles? Darkstar1st (talk) 01:39, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

That seems more like a comment designed to provoke a response, rather than a genuine attempt to resolve a dispute. Franamax (talk) 02:32, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

@Darkstar1st: CarolMooreDC has contributed an enormous amount of information and quality sources to many articles, and there has been no valid reason given as to why she should be banned from any topic, other than attacks on her personal life and politics, and claims that she's an anti-Semite. The problem here was not her content contributions, but her incivility towards certain editors.

Furthermore, she has had far fewer problems than yourself (as one can see by taking a cursory glance at your talk page, your ANI record, and your block history). I don't believe you are really in a position to be suggesting topic bans for people at this point in your development as an editor, because you seem to cause problems at most of the articles you focus heavily on. That is, it doesn't seem like your judgement is very well developed in regard to what type of behavior is appropriate on Wikipedia.

It's also hard to see how this is not, as Franamax suggested, a response simply designed to "push buttons" rather than fix anything. Can you describe what you were hoping to accomplish through your statement just now? -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 03:03, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

jrtayloriv, my suggestion was to un-ban her, read into that what you will, but there is a chance you are being obtuse. please stand next to fran so i may slap you both with one swing of the trout. Darkstar1st (talk) 04:28, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

I have followed the thread, without taking part. There is no suggestion anywhere that a topic ban is called for; and indeed she is not banned, but blocked. There is a highly significant difference. On a different aspect, and noting that the block is reduced to one week; in the light of an apology which has been made and accepted, is this residual block preventative or punitive? --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 12:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

FYI - One week fine with me

I need the rest/recovery from talk page/notice board stuff!!! I might even have ready a new article or two I haven't been able to finish because of it all. Yeah!! Maybe we should all have a one week compulsory block every three months just to chill. I'll think about an RfC on that... :-) CarolMooreDC (talk)

Since the consensus at ANI seems to be that it's time to lift the block, I have unblocked you. If you feel like taking a break before returning to normal editing, you shouldn't feel obliged to return before you're ready. Happy editing, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:04, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I'll archive all this now (perhaps to link to later from main page if that has any constructive purpose) and enjoy mostly resting a few more days except one or two pressing issues. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:38, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Second Vermont Republic: COI

Carol, I don't really know how these things ought to go and will try to research before commenting but in regard to request NPOV editors, I've really have none for this article other than to see it improve. I don't fall among detractors or supporters since I just don't really know of you but can see above that the past few weeks have been difficult and understand now the mention you made on my Talk page about a "bad week." Preliminarily it would seem that your COI could be significant but it would take time to go over what you've disclosed to arrive at a fixed conclusion.

Lordradish made a req, admidst some personal stuff, regarding the blog called Vermont Secession. Is that something that the group you're assembling could take a look at? It seems to be intermingled with what we're talking about. I'm having a hard time squeezing this in this week but will try to set some time aside for it tomorrow. Thoughts?

Wikimania 2012 bid, DC chapter & next meetup!

1. At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
2. To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
3. To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

Bias categories

Congratulations on the hard fought victory. Glad to see that there will be some consistency now and hopefully this will alleviate some BLP problems. Kaldari (talk) 02:16, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

We'll see if the most recalcitrant category tries to stage a counter-revolution :-) CarolMooreDC (talk) 02:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest not pushing the issue aggressively. Make some edits to Wikipedia:Categorization and give the change a little time to sink in. Maybe you could add a "Bias categories" section after the "Eponymous categories" section of the guideline. Of course, that's just my opinion so feel free to ignore it.

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

Your 1RR report

Hello Carol. Please note there is a 3RR helper tool that can be used to make a proper list of reverts. Admins who might otherwise want to study your report may be troubled by the lack of clear data. The use of the helper tool is recommended for all reports. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:50, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. But is MalikShabazz correct that it is not 1 RR? Don't want to report if not. Or will ask on 3rr talk page when get a chance. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:59, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

You tell us. Which pair of reverts violate the 1RR, below? Reverts numbered 9 and 10 are consecutive, so they count as one.

Diffs are listed from oldest to newest, dates are in UTC

1. 16:18, 18 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* Writings and activism */ clarify "Finkler"")
2. 03:56, 19 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* Writings and activism */ added cite; removed presumably misplaced tag")
3. 14:42, 19 July 2011 (edit summary: "")
4. 14:31, 20 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* Writings and activism */ expand Atzmon statement, add title for subsection")
5. 19:39, 20 July 2011 (edit summary: "Combine activism paragraph into activism section")
6. 19:46, 20 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* —Allegations of antisemitism */ remove extraneous material from citations")
7. 19:01, 21 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* Music */ removed repetition; covered elsewhere in article")
8. 16:55, 24 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* Novels */ tighten section")
9. 13:41, 25 July 2011 (edit summary: "Undid revision 441346502 by Carolmooredc (talk) undo massive unsupported POV revert; see WP:OWN")
10. 13:49, 25 July 2011 (edit summary: "/* Allegations of antisemitism */ changed heading")

— EdJohnston (talk) 17:10, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I found the helper tool a little confusing. It would be 8 and 9, assuming that his deleting/reverting other editors' past material counts. That's the issue that Malik evidently is challenging. CarolMooreDC (talk) 17:23, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Since there does seem to be debate about what actually is a revert (and thus if his first edit was a revert), per Wikipedia_talk:Edit_warring#How_long_does_an_edit_stay_in_place_before_its_removal_is_not_a_revert.3F, I won't pursue this in this instance while trying to get policy clarified. Obviously the 3rr closing editor doesn't seem to realize the WP:ARBPIA template says one option is to go to 3rr page. Which I commented there. CarolMooreDC (talk) 13:36, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
