[edit] Abkhazia

I used primary sources from UN documents which are available in every public or reference library catalogues. I never search online for reliable data (none in university practise source searching online) but if you insist (although you don’t have the ground to challenge any sources from official documents not available online but on hard copy).

[edit] Levan Urushadze

Dear Pocopocopocopoco! Dr. Levan Z. Urushadze really is a NOTABLE Georgian historian and public figure: he is one of the founders and Scientific Co-ordinator of the Museum of the Soviet Occupation of the Georgian National Museum, Doctor of Historical Sciences (Full Doctor, highest scientific degree in Georgia), Fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS, USA), author of about 80 scientific papers and 5 monographs, one of the outstanding representatives of the Human Rights movement of Georgia of 1992-2003, etc. --Kalmosani (Ilia Khuntsaria), 08:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Pocopocopocopoco! Please, note that I'm NOT Dr. Urushadze!!! I'm his friend and I'm working with his computer, because I hawe not my own equipment! --Kalmosani 08:42, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Dear Pocopocopocopoco! Please, note that I'm NOT connected with business, with scientific or other activities of Dr. Urushadze. I'm linguist.

[edit] Stratfor

Hi Pocopocopocopoco, Could you provide a source that does not need a member log in? It's difficult to check content if a Wikipedian has to register and/or pay. (It especially becomes problematic if a Wikipedian has to do so on a regular basis. Though sometimes it is unavoidable.) It's also difficult to read more about a topic. Btw: could you also attribute the quote to the author(s) rather than only to the think thank/agency. Greeting, Sijo Ripa 23:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pocopocopocopoco,
Thanks for your quick response and the source. Well, first I overlooked that it was a quote. Brackets are seldom used in Wikipedia - and are especially not used when the content is not secondary as it is the case (the difference between perhaps "on purpose" and more likely "accidental" is important). Also, the word "under-loved" seem to be a strange remark to be made by an analyst. Moreover, how can brackets be used in a quote? I mean, brackets are used in writings, not in interviews. But as you provided the source, there's of course not a problem. Sijo Ripa 09:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia and Languages

Greetings Cat! I couldn't help but notice from your user page that you "make tons of edits" to a number of language wikipedia's for which you don't seem to have knowledge of the language. Could you tell me how this works? The only reason I ask is that I think that wikipedia might be a good tool to learn new languages. Also, if you don't mind asking, what do you mean by that phrase at the top of your user page, the one that has aiur? Pocopocopocopoco 03:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I edit mostly with my bots on those wikis. The idea is that "edits" do not have a weight and I am holding my contribution equal. The Aiur quote is from StarCraft by a Protoss dark templar. -- Cat chi? 10:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kurds in Armenia

I noticed your clean-up efforts. Keep up the good work. I would encourage you to review other such articles such as Kurds in Lebanon. Given how the article started out and get edited primarily by one person. -- Cat chi? 01:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DRV you might be interested in

Hi Pocopocopocopoco, you might be interested in Wikipedia:Deletion review/Kurdish-Israeli relations. I'm sending a short note to people who were involved in this debate and a related debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kurdish-Chinese relations, to allow for maximum consensus. It would be great if you could review my deletion decision and make comments accordingly. Thanks! - Ta bu shi da yu 23:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are not you tired

...of these games, Poco? Now you decided to create a split between Wikipedia's Georgian and Turkish communities? --KoberTalk 17:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, but I don't remember to have ever asked it. Also, I'm pretty sure that you're genuinely interested in Georgia, but from what I can see your interest is limited to putting exclusively negative info about Georgia, trying to get rid of articles that do not meet your pro-separatist POV, and promoting slanderish articles about Georgia. --KoberTalk 18:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
As for the Georgians in Turkey. I've already explained that the Turkish government does not recognize Georgians as an ethnic minority and there're no census data available on them. Many Georgian ethnographic accounts put 1-1,5 mil as the number of ethnic Georgians living in Turkey, but I'm afraid you will denounce them as biased and unreliable. --KoberTalk 18:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Poco, I think you misunderstood me. I have no personal grievances against you, but your agenda is obvious to me. Anyway, I see no point in further discussion of this issue. Let’s return to the Turkish-Georgian story. The stats included in the Demographics of Turkey article come from the 1965 census, I guess. More than four decades have passed since then. Although assimilation is a powerful factor, Turkey has become more democratic nation and its people are proud to acknowledge their diversity in spite of some state-encouraged efforts to obscure their origins. I have met several Turkish citizens of Georgian extraction who no longer speak their mother tongue but identify themselves as Georgians. Their Turkish and Georgian identities are not conflicting, but complementary. They are loyal citizens of the Turkish state, but respect their ancestry. The Georgian society of Turkey consists of two large communities: the Georgians who are indigenous to NW Turkey and the muhajirs (Chveneburi) who had fled the Russian persecution to the Ottoman possessions. The estimates of their number vary to a high degree, ranging between 150,000 to 1 million. The former figure is an obvious underestimate, while the latter may seem somewhat exaggerated, but is still quite plausible.--KoberTalk 05:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transnistria WPr

Hi! Obviously I don't have anything against reviving this project. I don't thing I'll participate in it though as I'm not an expert on this matter and I'm not that interested in it. Alæxis¿question? 07:01, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I know you wanted to contact me also, but I'm kind of busy right now. When I will have more time, I will try to improve this category.--MariusM 14:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
In a democracy is legitimate to have groups expressing different opinions and making pressure to the government to accept their opinion.--MariusM 23:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Do you have sources for the European Comunity involvement?--MariusM 10:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for refference. Should be mentioned however, that Voronin himself never aknowledged that he wanted initially to sign Kozak memorandum. While possible true, this information is coming only from opponents of Voronin. Presence of Russian troups was the main problem of Kozak plan, I think. Russia was involved in 1992 war, it can not be considered a neutral part. European Union is more neutral. Russia made a comitment to withdraw its troups, but it didn't follow the comitment. Transnistrian authorities also have a reputation of not following their comitments. Democratic life for citizens of Transnistria is not possible until Russian troups are still there. The settlement should bring democracy for the people of the region, not to legitimize a regime which is responsible for human right abuses and economic disaster of the region. A settlement which would give to Transnistria the right to influence decisions in Chişinău but will refuse Chişinău to influence decisions in Transnistria is not a democratic one.--MariusM 21:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Georgian demonstrations

I know that you really enjoy another crisis in my country, but please try to stick to NPOV until I'm back on Wikipedia.--KoberTalk 05:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Greetings Poco. I think we've already discussed that extensively on that article's talk page. Anyway, the user talk page is not an appropriate place to continue the discussion. First, the website says its a blog and I don't understand why you question that. Second, abkhazia.com, and abkhazeti.ru are the NGO websites, not personal blogs. Third, your assertion that resistance.georgia is an expert blog is also not valid. I understand that she has impressed you, but she has always been considered as a political activist close to the Georgian Republican Party (which has recently lost one voter in the person of myself) rather than an expert in any particular field. If you're interested in I can recommend you some Georgian experts and scholars who are considered to be more or less neutral. They don't normally run slurish blogs, but their publications are available on the credible international websites. --KoberTalk 05:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Poco, are you trying to blackmail me? If you don't see the difference between the Georgian IDPs' NGO websites and that blog, I cannot help you. I'm sorry. And I'd also ask you to continue this discussion on the article's talk page. Btw, what do you think about this blog? Should we include it in the articles related to modern Russia and its politics? --KoberTalk 05:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Regarding your second question, I don't really known any free Georgian-English translation tool, but I'll to try to search for it through Georgian engines. Articles by leading Georgian political scientists are regularly published on the websites such as OpenDemocracy, and CIPPD. I also like IWPR for its realtively neutral journalistic reports. --KoberTalk 05:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for edit warring on 2007 Georgian demonstrations. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

{{unblock|Summary of reasons:I was not edit waring, I made 1 revert in a 24 hour period. The other user recieved a warning and I recieved praise from the blocking admin prior to the blocking and had no indication that my behaviour was wrong.

Please see below for a detailed explanation as the template doesn't seem to be able to handle all the information that is there. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 16:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)}}

Y

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I don't seem to be able to find the admin who blocked you in very short order; but while I must remind you that the three revert rule is not an entitlement to a set number of reverts and one can be blocked for a single edit in especially contentious areas, your assurance that you will stay away from the disputed article (and, I'll add, related articles) appears sufficient for me to lift a short block. I will, however, restore the block with its duration reset if you stray. Good editing.

Request handled by: — Coren (talk) 17:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Detailed Unblock Reasons

1. The blocking admin said that I was edit waring but I was not edit waring at 2007 Georgian demonstrations, I made 1 revert that I didn't self revert in a 24 hour period.[2] The other editor made five.[3] All other edits I made were additions to the article that I were on the heels of an RFC that I had initiated which I had believed reached a consensus.
2. The other editor that was also blocked, user:Kober, received a warning first from the blocking admin that his editing behaviour was wrong before being blocked. I never received any such warning or any indication that my editing behaviour was wrong despite being in communcation with the blocking admin over this issue. In fact, if you read the blocking admins response in the link I provided, he says "Thanks for the report, by the way. It shows that you truly care about helping to build a better encyclopedia."
3. My last edit to the article in question was a self-revert.[4] This is not the actions of a revert warrior.
4. If unblocked, I promise to stay away from that article or any related articles for the remainder of the 24 hour period. There are plenty of unrelated articles which I can and plan to contribute during that period. Thanks in advance Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 16:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

As a quick note, I should mention that I absolutely hated to do that. Had there been another person or two involved in the dispute, I would have gladly protected the page and been done with it, because you're both good, prolific editors. :( But, it seemed like it just kept going back and forth despite both of you guys knowing there was a dispute, and you both chose to continue making edits to the article despite my caution to keep using the talk page. :\ Anyway, please don't take it personally, as I only wanted to calm the situation.

[edit] Reply

I've given an explanation of my view on the Arbitration Enforcement page. I don't see how promoting a Nagorno-Karabakh project right now would benefit Wikipedia. Nothing is stopping you editing NK articles, although you should be aware that this whole topic area is extremely fraught at the moment and subject to ArbCom monitoring. Cheers. --Folantin (talk) 11:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] International Law

To answer your questions. There are two types of International recognition.

1- International recognition under International law.

A country has this when it signs international legal treaties and international agreements with other countries. Transnistria has many examples of this and is absolutely recognised as an independent state under international law. It even signs at inter-presidential level which is the ultimate recognition under International law. This is known as 'international legal personality'.

THis International recognition is the main international recognition. See below for the secondary and less meaningful type,

2 Full and Partial Diplomatic Relations

Full diplomatic relations-

When a country is established it attains International Legal Personality, it will then normally invite other countries to formalise international diplomatic status, this is not international recognition but more of a recognising and approval of it.

The Falkland Islands are a perfect example.

Very few countries in that part of the world recognise Britian's claim and control, and many openly support Argentina's territorial claim on the Island. At one point, the UN countries were divided 50/50 on its status. Therefore the Islands were partly recognised as being part of Argentina and also Partly recognised as part of UK....thus the word 'International recogition' was non concrete The only international recognition that mattered was that of who controled the territory under international law. This could only be the de-facto administration - The British.

To sort out the confusion it was determined that under International Law the over-riding consideration is that the de-facto legal status holds precedent over de-jure claims, however strongly supported.

So Falklands Islands are Internationally recognised as being part of UK, however dozens of countires believe the Islands lie within the Territorial Integrity of Argentina. But on wiki we should never state the FI are part of Argentina. Likewise it is not correct to say PMR is part of Moldova.

In Transnistria's case , countries are obliged not to form such diplomatic station while negotiatons are ongoing, yet under international law, the right to self determination is clearly set out, so there is strictly speaking nothing stopping anyone, but common practice is to hold off while disputes unravel themselves. Partial diplomatic Recogition.

This is when countries engage as equal status states and enter international agreements and discussion, Transnistria already has this with most countries.

[edit] More edit warring

I will ask you to remember that the reason that I have shortened your block was that you would behave; staying away from the disputed article for the remainder of your block was a strict minimum. Your current disruption on NKAO-related pages could end up having you placed under editing restrictions, and you would be wise to reconsider bringing old nationalistic disputes to Wikipedia. — Coren (talk) 03:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I was referring to your mass revert last week; this wasn't meant to be a "warning of impending doom" because of what you are doing right now so much as a reminder to behave in general. I now notice I should have said "recent" rather than "current"; my poor choice of wording is probably the reason you weren't quite sure what I was talking about.  :-) — Coren (talk) 14:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I have restored the two articles that you asked DGG to restore. In my opinion, UN Security Resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh War does not need to be userfied .. I think it is quite reasonable to have it as a list. That is just my opinion; maybe others disagree. I wont object to it being deleted after you have finished, or userfied if that is what you want. If you do want to userfy it, view the page, click the move button, and specify "User:Pocopocopocopoco/UN Security Resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh War" as the new name of the article. Cheers, John Vandenberg (talk) 21:36, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
No worries. Did you see my comment on Talk:UN Security Resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh War?
I realise why you wanted it, and I consider it reasonable that you can see the full history, unless there are serious issues that would prevent them from being undeleted. Note that there is no need to ask arbcom to undelete; you just need to find an admin who has time to figure out what you are talking about. I've undeleted the history to each of those resolutions[6], so the only Ehud contribution that is still deleted is a single change to this article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Menachem Nissel. The article was created by Jeremy12201986 on 23:52, 4 July 2007. The change Ehud made was on "18:35, 22 July 2007", and it consisted of significantly expanding the stub, adding roughly 1100 bytes, but the added text was about a book "Rigshei Lev" written by the person, so Ehud's added text was removed by DLand on 14:17, 9 August 2007. I would rather not undelete that page, even to userfy it, but if you think it is necessary, I will.

[edit] Milhist coordinators election has started

The February 2008 Military history WikiProject coordinator election has begun. We will be selecting nine coordinators to serve for the next six months from a pool of fifteen candidates. Please vote here by February 28. --ROGER DAVIES talk 21:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your edits to Maddox

The sources are indeed poor, but the information contained within the article is factual and otherwise follows accordance with Wikipedia's policies. Instead of deleting all the information, try finding verifiable sources, or at least adding a [citation needed] tag to allow other editors to do so. Therefore, I hope you don't mind me reverting back to the original article, removing all the unverifiable sources, and try to replace them with sources that meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Thanks! Ali (t)(c) 22:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I haven't reverted the changes yet, as I want to be sure I can find verifiable sources first. If you have time, I would appreciate it if you could add some sources as well. Here are some sites that you may find useful:

[edit] Notability of Vermillion Energy Trust

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Vermillion Energy Trust, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Vermillion Energy Trust seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Vermillion Energy Trust, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 03:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Since there were both a reasonable db and an under construction tag, I've moved the article to User:Pocopocopocopoco/Vermillion Energy Trust, where you can continue to built it.--Tikiwont (talk) 11:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ebay

I think you were being very unfair... the auction had only been underway for a few hours at this point: "I'm inclined to agree with Hoary for now with no predjudice to adding this information later if other events happen that make it more notable. It doesn't seem encyclopedic to me to add every short little relationship that notable people may have. To top things off, Jimbo's stuff isn't really selling for that much, look at the t-shirt, the highest bid is $34. [6] Also, check out the bidder as well. It would have sold for more if this event was notable. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 04:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)"


Let me know if you think these numbers make the incident notable yet? [[7]]

[edit] HELP

{{helpme}} I believe wikipedia's spam filters may be malfunctioning, I tried to make a post to talk page here twice and both times the spam filter blocked my post. I didn't put the website that the spam filter said that I put. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Spam filter? Do you mean your post was reverted? Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 02:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
No, when I hit save, a page came up saying that my post was blocked because it contained a link to a website that was on wikipedia's spam filter. I never put that website in my post. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
This has happened to me before. You didn't spam anything, the filer hates a link that already is there. What I did when that happened was I found the link, removed it, and in the edit summary explained that the spam filter prevented me from editing the article until that link was gone. -WarthogDemon 02:44, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
I tried searching for that link in the section that I was editing and it wasn't there I didn't edit from the top but just from the section. Does the filter only look inside the section or is it based on the whole talk page? Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Based on the whole page. Or perhaps it is in the article itself. (I could be wrong, as in both instances I was editing in the article space.) -WarthogDemon 02:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help guys! I've removed the spam (from another section) so I should be good to go. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
No problem. :) I just tested it to make sure. Everything's fine now. Happy editing! -WarthogDemon 02:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Salvation Union of South Ossetia

I can see that Ldingley was indef blocked, but can you provide me a link to the banning discussion? GBT/C 16:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for that - there's a difference, though, between a block and a ban. A block is a technical measure where an admin removes the ability of an editor to edit for a period of time, or indefinitely. A ban is a community decision that an editor may not contribute to all or a part of the encyclopaedia. Whilst contributions of banned users may be deleted or reverted on sight, WP:BAN wouldn't appear to apply here, I don't think. GBT/C 17:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Tag it accordingly ({{coi}} etc.), maybe prod it - there's sufficient notability for it to survive speedy on the grounds of non-notability, but it may not survive a prod. GBT/C 17:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmmm. Looks like the prod didn't go uncontested for very long there! GBT/C 17:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Not sure. Give it a couple of days, I guess. GBT/C 18:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of English motherfucker, do you speak it?

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages such as English motherfucker, do you speak it?, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Bfigura (talk) 00:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stalking

I just want to remind you that this kind of stalking [8] is considered as Wikipedia harassment according to the guideline on Wikistalking: "The term "wiki-stalking" has been coined to describe following a contributor around the wiki, editing the same articles as the target, with the intent of causing annoyance or distress to another contributor." Therefore, before i report you to admins (if this continues), i want to kindly remind you to stop stalking my user name or following my contributions. Please review the guideline carefully and instead of conflicting with other Georgian users, it would be more productive if you engage in more constructive way. I'm no warning you, just suggesting and reminding. Thanks. Iberieli (talk) 16:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Nop you were not, you simply stalking people. Well paranoid is an attack and also another violation of Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Not nice indeed. Again more constructiveness less conflicting. Thats the way it always works. All the best. Iberieli (talk) 16:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: wikimarkup

Thanks for the initiative. I usually build upon, rather then write a new template. I did look around for task force templates, but didn't find any. I'll play around with this one, hopefully something decent will come out of it. VartanM (talk) 03:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

Hi Poco. Let's be honest, ok? You know perfectly well what that passage meant and that the message it conveyed was absolutely valid. Still you went ahead and removed it despite the fact that you could have easily corrected the ref since you claim to be candidly interested in what you call our "small corner of the world". Thanks, KoberTalk 05:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you might find it funny, but for tens of thousands of people it is destroyed lives, lost relatives and abandoned homes. As for BLPs, thanks for bringing them to my attention but how could you overlook Sokrat Djindjolia, Nugzar Ashuba, Konstantin Ozgan, Vyacheslav Tsugba, etc? --KoberTalk 04:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues

I have nominated 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] Edit warring, notice of discretionary sanctions

As you seem to be engaged in edit warring in an area covered by an arbitration committee case, this is to be your warning that discretionary sanctions, as provided in this case may be applied to you. Specifically, further edit warring may lead to a block from editing, or a temporary ban from editing articles on which edit wars have taken place. Please make sure to use dispute resolution rather than engaging in repeated reverts. Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I note the following reverts: [9], [10], [11], and [12]. The other editor is also edit warring, so both of you have been warned. However, neither the fact that the other editor is edit warring nor the fact that you technically may have avoided 3RR makes the behavior acceptable. If you disagree with him, please use dispute resolution, not repeated reverts. The warning stands as written. If you believe it to be incorrect, you may see the ruling linked to for the appropriate mechanisms of appeal. Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
On the final edit, I shall grant you, you are correct, those had never been added before. However, removals are reverts. If you had removed the content right after the editor who added it had done so, it would have been a clear revert. It is no less so since you did so later on. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Again, the warning stands as it was written. If you should wish to appeal it, the relevant case page linked above contains procedures by which you may do so. I do not intend to remove the warning. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
