Welcome!
Feel free to talk!
If you want to leave me a comment, do that here:
If you want to have a discussion about a contribution I've made to an article, do that in the article's talk page.
If you want to alert me that you've started a discussion in an article's talk page about a contribution I've made to the article, do that here.
Also, do not ever edit my user page. My user page is my personal encyclopedia entry, and any changes that were not made by me shall be reverted as soon as they are discovered.
Clear?
Thanks,
[edit] Your user page, again
Scientz, I'm sorry that you feel I have a grudge against you - that is by no means the case. Indeed I came across your userpage after you left a message with me about the MDMA page, but that's all. I don't follow the MDMA page, it's not in my watchlist, and I'm not really interested in the topic. Following our discussion, I thought that your argument was misguided so I brought it up at the talkpage for others to weigh in, and left it at that. I certainly bear no grudge for your edits having "won", if that's the case.
The reason I removed that information from your user page is because I really don't think it is right to have personal information like that about other people (not in the public eye) without their consent. My interpretation of the Biographies of living persons policy backs that up. As I quoted to you before, "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space."
You're right that the community is "generally tolerant and offers fairly wide latitude in applying these guidelines to regular participants." But that only applies as long as you are following Wikipedia policies. Nobody owns their user page. I really don't want you to feel like I'm attacking you, and I suggest you remove the material yourself. Regards, --BelovedFreak 18:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't spoken to your family members, but as I'm sure you know, Wikipedia is built upon reliable sources. Therefore, the burden is on you to prove consent. Are you going to remove it? --BelovedFreak 18:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I just wanted to let you know that I have started a discussion about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Hopefully we can sort this out. --BelovedFreak 19:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't think this is a huge deal, but it probably isn't exactly wise to include your relatives exact dates of birth...identity theft and the like. (Not sure if it's as big an issue in Canada as it is in the US, but it's probably not the best idea). Why not just years? Guettarda (talk) 20:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Content removed again
I have removed the objectionable content. Posting biographical details of non-notable people violates WP:BLP#Privacy of personal information, a Wikipedia policy. Please do not re-add this content, or your user page may be protected or deleted. Sandstein 20:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- After you have re-added the material, I have deleted your user page. If you continue to post content that violates WP:BLP on any page, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sandstein 22:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Following your re-creation of the deleted content on your user page, again without any attempt to engage in discussion about the appropriateness of this content, I have blocked you for 24 hours. Future blocks may increase in duration if you continue to post inappropriate biographical material about living people. You may appeal this block by posting {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:JamesCreightonPIC.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:JamesCreightonPIC.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
