You have been blocked indef for socking, disruption at DR, and linking to personal info. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:18, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

You edited as an IP, did it again after it was removed as a named account. How did a "new" user come to a deletion review page anyway? — Rlevse • Talk • 01:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

There's no trick to getting there but it's a VERY odd edit for a first time user. How do you explain that? And pls post your responses here, you can still edit your talk page. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the formatting tools here, so please forgive me if this isn't formatted correctly.

I'm not sure what was odd about the post. Someone who was personally mentioned in the ClimateGate emails and is a founding member of RealClimate, which is also involved in ClimateGate, was saying that a ClimateGate page should be deleted. This seems like a clear conflict of interest to me. So I said as much and provided links where the information could be verified.

This seems like a normal thing to expect from an encyclopedia. In fact, just looking at the data entry page I'm using to enter this, I'm seeing two spots where it's telling me information must be verifiable. --Magicjava (talk) 11:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

That's not the question. The question is that since it's very odd for a first post (as you claim it's your first two posts) to be on a deletion review page, how did you become aware of the deletion review? 99.9% of new editors show up on an article first. Then you like to private info, which you're not supposed to do. Why did you link to private info? — Rlevse • Talk • 12:27, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

how did you become aware of the deletion review?

I followed the link on the ClimateGate page marked for deletion.

Why did you link to private info?

As I mentioned previously, that information is now public knowledge. It's been posted on the internet in several places and has been printed in the online newspapers. As to why I linked to it, it was so my statements could be verified.--Magicjava (talk) 12:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I do have a question though. Does wikipedia have any conflict of interest guidelines? I tried looking it up, but the rules pages seem somewhat Byzantine to the uninitiated. --Magicjava (talk) 12:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

They may be elsewhere on the net but we don't exacerbate the matter. See WP:COI for that issue. And in case you're asking, I have no particular interest on either side of the climate issue. Do you understand why you can't release or tie in private info on wiki and can you assure us you won't do it again? — Rlevse • Talk • 17:17, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I can say that if it is wikipedia's policy that these emails not be linked into discussion, I will follow that policy 100%. I will also not reference the emails indirectly by copying and pasting quotes from them. On that you have my word. I can also say that I will not post any personal information on anyone involved with wiki (I don't have any such information, but even if I did, I would not post it).

Thanks for your time and your consideration in this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicjava (talk • contribs)

You're unblocked. Glad we worked this out and happy editing. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, sir. It's much appreciated.--Magicjava (talk) 18:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Sometimes it helps to have a blog, eh? Not sure if you saw my contribution to your unblock - see here: User_talk:Rlevse. Rd232 ^talk 18:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, Rd323. :)

Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Magicjava! I am The ed17 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hi, just noticed your erratum. It's ok to edit your own comments, and best to explain or highlight any significant changes – for example, strike words you want to delete by adding <s>strike</s> on each side of them, and add "revised ~~~~~" after your dated signature, giving the new time stamp. Probably not needed for minor things like spelling corrections. It's not good to edit anyone else's comments, as you might guess! Hope that helps, dave souza, talk 18:11, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks guys. But in all honesty, that Climategate article is a PoS and it doesn't seem to me wiki has the ability to turn it into something even half way decent, for reasons including, but hardly limited to, people involved in ClimateGate working on the article. I don't think I'll be wasting any more of my time there. --Magicjava (talk) 11:47, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Article probation notification

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Climatic Research Unit hacking incident, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Wikipedia:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- ChrisO (talk) 10:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Magicjava. You have new messages at Ian.thomson's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

A brownie for you!

I think we're on the road to a balanced, neutral TPM. Thanks for your efforts. – Sir Lionel, EG(talk) 06:59, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tea Party movement, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Patrick Murphy and Allen West (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tea Party movement Moderated discussion

A discussion is taking place at Talk:Tea Party movement/Moderated discussion to get consensus on finding and addressing the main points of contention on the article, and moving the article to a stable and useful condition. As you are a significant contributor to the article, your involvement in the discussion would be valued and helpful. As the discussion is currently looking at removing a substantial amount of material, it would be appropriate for you to check to see what material is being proposed for removal, in case you have any concerns about this. If you feel you would rather not get involved right now, that is fine; however, if you later decide to get involved and directly edit the article to reverse any consensus decisions, that might be seen as disruptive. Re-opening discussion, however, may be acceptable; though you may find few people willing to re-engage in such a discussion, and if there are repeated attempts to re-open discussion on the same points, that also could be seen as disruptive. The best time to get involved is right now. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 08:39, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
