User talk:Snowbound/Archive 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Archive #1

I would like you to consider this a serious warning regarding your attitude and behaviour on Wikipedia. You have violated several policies, in fact without much of an effort I have found multiple instances, including personal attacks, [1] blatent incivility and breaches of WP:AGF, [2] [3] blanking of article discussion pages, [4] [5] and the obvious multiple instances of blanking of this page.

See Wikipedia:Vandalism#Types_of_vandalism for blanking of article talk pages "Deleting the comments of other users from article Talk pages, aside from removal of internal spam, or deleting entire sections of talk pages, is generally considered vandalism." However, more specifically see that same page Official policy regarding blanking of your own talk page where it states:

"the removal of legitimate vandalism warnings given within the last month is prohibited. If users remove legitimate vandalism warnings given within the last month from their talk pages, the warnings may be restored and additional warnings about removing warnings added. Such restorations are an exception to the three revert rule. Users who repeatedly remove legitimate vandalism warnings given within the last month from their talk pages may be blocked and may have their talk pages protected. Note that this policy does not discuss the question of whether users are permitted to remove legitimate non-vandalism warnings from their talk pages. In general, removing legitimate comments without responding may be considered uncivil or become an issue for arbitration, especially where the intention of the removal is to conceal information (e.g. previous warnings) or mislead other editors."

In the last month alone you have removed multiple instances of other users attempting to speak to you in a civil manner regarding these policies and they have been met with incivil replies and blanking [6] [7] [8] [9]. That final diff shows a total disregard of WP:AGF and the spirit on which Wikipedia is based, namely;

Are you an administrator? If not, who gave you permission to revert my talk page? 2. How the hell did a random user find his way onto my talk page in the first place? Are you stalking me? 3. As far as I was made aware THERE IS NO RULE that say's I cannot wipe MY talk page! Merely a discussion on it. The rules are for OTHER topic pages. 4. Do not EVER edit my page without first DISCUSSING it with me."

Let me answer those for you, yes I am, no he was not, yes there is and perhaps you should remember the motto here "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" As such, consider this warning something which should not be removed. I recommend you take this matter seriously, as breaches of any of the above policies can and will result in your being blocked from editing. Thank you in advance - GIen 04:20, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me, sorry for the delay in my reply. Just quickly, I in fact did read the context of each message, and I am aware of your legitimate edits; The fact is, I don't see anywhere near the levels of incivility nor rash bursts of aggression from anyone else - and if there is I feel its a response to the level you have escalated it to. I'll record and say in fact that it was your good contributions that saved you from an indefinite block. They are great and I thank you for them. But I shouldn't be able to pull 8 or 9 counts of uncivil behavior from the last few weeks from anyone. And, it is no ones fault that you don't know policy but your own. Above are copious examples of you quoting facets of it to others, so that's no excuse.

As I said, your encyclopedic contributions are awesome, keep them up, and remember to always assume good faith. We are all here with the same goal after all, thanks - GIen 14:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
