From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Sorry for this to be the first order of business so to speak, but you recently added a number of images as well as text cut and paste from various websites on Maronite saints. You assert that the copyright holder permits their use for any purpose, at least on the images. I'm afraid I can find no indication on the websites in question that this is in fact the case. Could you possibly indicate where we might verify it? Thanks.

It would be advisable for you to rewrite this text anyway. Wikipedia has a strong policy that artcles should be written using a neutral point of view. No matter how much we might respect the saints we write about here, we need therefore to adopt a dispassionate, reporter-like, encyclopedic tone when editing their articles. I realize this might be difficult when it comes to saints we might feel a particular veneration for and I have trouble with it myself, but if we don't do it ourselves then someone else is likely to come along and do it for us.

[edit] Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin

This user believes that only articles need reflect a NPOV, and that displaying political, religious, or other beliefs using userboxes and user categories should not be banned.

You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create List of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,

[edit] Why

I have been recently been blocked unfairly. The reason: persistant vandalism. This has however not occured, i do not understand why i have been unfairly blocked. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia built on facts which i have only been attempting to enhance and enlarge, nothing else.

" Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Nlu for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Persistent vandalism, may be shared IP, but no previous collateral damage Your IP address is 82.198.250.80.

"

You personally have not been blocked, the section entitled "Innocent?" in the block message explains this situation. --pgk^(talk) 21:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
