[edit] Thank you!
I saw your essay on someone else's RFA, as it happens. Clicked over and read it through. What you said certainly rings true for me, too, and I'll definitely bear it in mind for future votes. And thanks, too, for your support :) - Alison☺ 05:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WARNING?
I am warning you to not preemptively warn me because I have done nothing wrong nor will I. I assure I will maintain my no POV and continue to edit articles which I believe I am capable of editing accurately. I am here to have the truth be heard. Thank you. 23 March 2007—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wa3ad7 (talk • contribs) 01:03, March 23, 2007.

[edit] oops sorry?
What did i do just now? i was try to improve the article, please do not use ur POV while on wikipedia. and Again what did i do just now? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.52.25.23 (talk) 18:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
- I have no idea what you are talking about. If you mean the {{ISP}} tag, it is a courtesy to other editors to inform them that the ISP is dynamic, nothing more. What POV are you referring to, and which edits? -- Avi 18:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
oops sorry, i'm mistaken something again, sorry, sorry bothering u.--Towaru 18:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RFA Thanks
I would like to thank you for your support in my recent RFA. As you may or may not be aware, it passed with approximately 99% support. I ensure you that I will use the tools well, and if I ever disappoint you, I am open to recall. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talkpage. Thanks again, ^demon[omg plz] 20:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] BLP
Take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons#Criticism_and_overwhelming_clause. Discussion seems to have reached a standstill, and still no alternative interpretation of the "overwhelming clause" that would make the criticism on the Sudais article legitimate.Bless sins 04:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Again users have commented on what they think should happen, not on what wiki policy suggests should happen. I don't think anyone has attmepted to provide an explanation of the "overwhelming" clause, which still exists in BLP.Bless sins 04:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Again, I'm not asking for a comment on the Sudais article, rather on BLP in general. I know very well that one user might come to Sudais, allow massive criticism there, and go to Gilbert, and remove every last word of criticism there. I'm asking for an interpretation of wiki policy. None have provided that yet.Bless sins 05:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Application to join block list
There is an application to join the unblock list from User:Avi with an address of avi _ wiki @ yahoo . com. (Spaces added to avoid spammers). Given the circumstances, I assume this is from you. Could you please confirm either through an e-mail or by a message on my talk page.

[edit] Thanks for your help
The User:Waldork just returned with another abusive post - I don't know what happened but after I deleted it, I went to the history to get the diff and it has disappeared (maybe it happened concurrently with your clean-up). Anyway, thank you VERY much for your help! --Pete K 22:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Here is the latest from this Waldorf person. I'm sure this violates WP:Harass at some point. Should I be bringing this here or somewhere else? Thanks. Pete K 01:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your question to Core
I have Core's page watched and saw your question. The vandal added a lot of identifying personal information about Psychonaut to various pages, and I brought Core's attention to them. He told me he filed an RFO, so I assume the vandalistic edits have been oversighted. But a definite vandal. – Chacor 05:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I filed a RFO as he created an attack page and made at least 12 edits posting personal information about Psychonaut on random articles. None of the edits will be visible to anyone without oversight permissions. --Coredesat 05:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Internet for Learning
The block you have in place looks good. Every time we relax the parameters we wind up being subject to abusive account creation and causing more headache for our CheckUsers than necessary. The {{school block}} template should be sufficient, as it includes instructions on how to go about creating an account, either from another network or by contacting the unblock mailing list. I'll add a notice atop that talk page with the same template if it isn't there already. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 17:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Warning
I would strongly suggest that you back off. Not only are my contributions to Move America Forward factual, they are also logical. If you take issue with every one of my edits and talk page comments I will almost certainly begin to take issue with you personally.. this is not a personal attack but please do not attempt to silence the underdogs. --Asucena 18:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TFD noms
I don't know about this, but it may be a good idea to combine all those nominations of IP templates into one discussion. There's no harm in qualifying. The discussions will probably be very similar. I doubt this myself, however, so it's your decision. GracenotesT § 20:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Extraneous shared IP templates
Your concerned is covered by {{SharedIP}} which covers for everything. -- Avi 00:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I replied on the template deletion page. :) - Denny 01:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Blocking User:Asucena
Avi, I have no problem with this user's being blocked. However, you should have got someone else to do it. It's easy to let a troll like this sucker you into doing an action that, although thoroughly warranted, can be painted as an involved admin abusing his powers. I say this because you had made reverts to the page in question. Also, try not to describe other users' edits as "vandalism" even if you consider that they are valueless.
Also, you blocked for 48 hours. This is contrary to the policy. Take care to stay strictly within the bounds of the policy when dealing with a user like this. I do not think you should block for WP:COI "violation" (it is not a policy and carries no sanctions) or for WP:NPOV "violation" (this is subjective, and it is ultra vires for you to punish other editors for making POV edits; you have to take that to an RfC and then an RfAr and get official sanction). Do not allow this troll to become a martyr by abusing your powers. Do it by the book and that is prevented. Grace Note 04:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, Avi. You absolutely have not been acting within the "bounds of propriety". I would not have written to you if you had. I must reiterate: I have your interests at heart. I write only to help you avoid being painted as a villain. However, your understanding of what you did wrong is very flawed. First of all, you may not block users you are involved in a content dispute with. See this section of the blocking policy. Second, WP:COI is a guideline, not a policy, and you may not block other editors on account of breaching it. Please read the policy and get a clear understanding of this. Third, the editor has not been previously blocked for 3RR. Please read the policy, which is quite clear that 24 hours is the correct punishment for breach. I think that most editors would agree that 48 hours for a second breach would be unduly harsh. Most of us believe blocks are preventive, not punitive, and should not be escalated lightly. Fourth, the only editor to agree with you on WP:AN/I was User:Durova, who has a vested interest. Finally, I have no influence at all with User:Asucena but if you look through my contributions you will note that I have urged that they edit within the bounds of the policies, just as I do you.

[edit] Exercise physiology
Thanks, that p. has been a headache in every possible direction. This gives us a good chance to start over. DGG 06:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Palestinian template
Hi Avi, I answered your question on my talk page. --MPerel ( talk | contrib) 09:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help?
Hi Avi - if you have any spare time/energy, I'm trying to source & rewrite Circumcision worldwide at Talk:Circumcision worldwide/Temp & would be grateful for any help. Jakew 20:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Israel editing
I would like to call your attention to the discussion page on that article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel#.22population_transfer.22 ). In light of that, my editing is not vandalism.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.117.157.15 (talk • contribs) 22:27, March 29, 2007 (UTC)
