Proposed deletion of Historical digging edit

 

The article Historical digging has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Request reason:

I am not now nor have I ever been a ‘sock puppet’. It is my understanding that this allegation was instigated by a small handful of semi-vandals and dubious commentators who to my knowledge have contributed essentially nothing of any productive value to the articles privy digging and historical digging. What started out as an honest attempt to convey a more accurate version of privy digging and historical digging, has somehow been allowed to spiral into a bizarre inquisition of sorts; one with no constructive end in sight as it were. For the record I am appreciative that ‘consultant09’ and ‘themischr’ and any others who have actually attempted to add positive comments and commendable edits to the articles have done so. Clearly additional editing is needed to perfect these important (in my mind anyway) ‘beginner level’ additions to Wikipedia. It is my sincere hope that many other knowledgeable and qualified editors will also invest the time necessary to develop these into an erudite and constructive Wikipedia articles; and not simply subsume them into some branch of conventional archaeology in one reflexive move, seemingly to hide the unpopular facts. Once again, please remove me ‘olesachem’ from the blocked list and allow me to do my improvements on the articles as time permits.Olesachem (talk) 16:22, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Explanation for the below was not provided after more than 48 hours. To the blocked user : You are free to submit another review with the explanation. - Mailer Diablo 16:37, 5 December 2011 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • Comment for reviewing administrator(s): I looked into the accounts, and concur with Mailer Diablo's findings at the SPI. From a checkuser/technical perspective, this account is a very likely match to the other two listed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Olesachem/Archive. From a behavioural perspective, all three accounts edit an identical subject area, and there is a close overlap in the editing times and in other habits. AGK [•] 16:48, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Olesachem, could you offer an explanation with regards to the other two users? - Mailer Diablo 18:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
