GOCE fall newsletter

Fall Events from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events: The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best October copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC). Voting is in progress for the September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not. NEW!! In the week from Sunday 21 October to Saturday 27 October, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} belonging to selected project(s). For the first blitz, we'll start with WikiProject Olympics and WikiProject Albums and add more Projects to the blitz as we clear them. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded. November 2012 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in 2011 and to complete all requests placed before the end of October. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest. >>> Blitz sign-up <<<         >>> Drive sign-up <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Can you explain you comment

That the Guardian newspaper is not a reliable source? And plese do not revert again. Apart from WP:3RR, reverting a reliable source can be considered unconstructive. Thank you. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 16:09, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

ah, dr k. i did NOT NOT NOT say that the guardian is not reliable. if you read all three of my comments, i say the same thing each time. a letter to the editor is not RS. the guardian is fine. the LTE is a problem. go see the talk page for the mikis article. and we can discuss it there. thanks! Soosim (talk) 16:14, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Ah, Soosim, your edit removed the guardian reference. If the Guardian is a reliable source why did you remove it? And actually you removed it twice and you also edit-warred to remove it. Can you explain? Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 16:42, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Nevermind. I thought it was an article, not a letter to the editor. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 18:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

dr k - i am so sorry if i was not clear. the guardian reference is to a letter to the editor. a letter to the editor is not RS. i hope that was clear. let me know, k? Soosim (talk) 16:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Now I see. Fine. So you have no idea who Theodorakis is and you could not not find a reference supporting that he is famous so you removed the "famous" adjective. You also did not bother to Google that he is the best known living composer of Greece. Well, I did, and it was not that difficult to find references for that. So next time please do not delete links which do not work. Try tagging or using Google search instead. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 16:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

i accept your apology. Soosim (talk) 18:08, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid you did not understand what I wrote. There is nothing to apologise for and obviously I did not apologise. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 19:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

oh, then i am sorry. i surely thought you were apologizing for your inability to understand the difference between an RS article and someone's LTE. so, therefore, it is i who apologize to you for assuming that you were being courteous. i see from your above comment, that i was indeed wrong. Soosim (talk) 08:41, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

I'll overlook your false apologies and all the other jazz. The fact remains that not only you removed a dead link but you also removed the fact supported by the dead link: "He is viewed as Greece's best-known living composer". That was a completely inappropriate removal. As you may realise when a link goes dead we do not erase either the link or the fact that the link supported. Instead we try to repair the link or, failing that, find another link which supports the fact. If you cannot repair a link or find a new link, you ask people for help. So even though I did not know what "LTE" meant in your edit summary regarding the Guardian reference, I still had a perfectly valid reason to revert you based on the fact that you erased a dead link and its supported fact. As far as the "letter to the editor" link, that's a red herring. Everyone knows that Mikis is world-famous, so even though that particular reference was not reliable you should have left that fact in the article instead of erasing it and ask other people for help if you could not find another reference. And I know perfectly well the difference between a reliable source and a letter to the editor. I simply did not understand your edit-summary when you wrote "LTE". I did not realise what "LTE" was and your accusation: for your inability to understand the difference between an RS article and someone's LTE, is patently unfair and flies in the face of reality. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 08:59, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

dr k - i am very fond of jazz and herring and flying. thank you again for helping me be a better wikipedia editor. fyi, imho, i really love your "Everyone knows that Mikis is world-famous". so silly of me not to know that. i think i was too involved in jazz, herring and flying. happens. Soosim (talk) 16:36, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Beware that per AE restrictions nobody is allowed to add new conspiracy theories without proposing them on the talk page first. I suggest you self revert and do that instead. Tijfo098 (talk) 08:14, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Greta Berlin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hijackings (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.

November 2012

Hello, I'm Dr.K.. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Mikis Theodorakis  without a valid reason or because you did not understand what you were doing. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you asked other editors on the talkpage before doing something similar again. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. Thank you. The information is included in Mikis' biographies which I supplied. They were also already cited in the next sentence which you did not read: Theodorakis's fascination with music began in early childhood; he taught himself to write his first songs without access to musical instruments. In Patras[26] and Pyrgos[27] he took his first music lessons, and in Tripoli, Peloponnese,[28] he gave his first concert at the age of seventeen.

For the last time please do not remove information again from the article. I will AGF that you did not want to vandalise the article. But it really does not matter. If one is careless or unable to understand how things work in the article and keep removing valid information repeatedly they also edit the article disruptively and in the end they will have to be blocked. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 17:16, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

hi doc k - i did give you a reason. the information was unsourced. and then, mysteriously, after i did it, you went and found sources for the article. so, again, i thank you for making wikipedia a better place by actually using RS for material written, especially in BLPs. and thanks for the AGF warning. i am improving the article. so i hope you are not referring to yourself about vandalism. writing content without RS, i suppose, is indeed a form of vandalism too. let's be careful out there. Soosim (talk) 06:21, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

I just told you that the content you vandalised already HAD sources BEFORE I added any new ones. I guess you must be a bit confused because you don't know that you are vandalising and you are more confused also calling me a vandal. I already told you above that the material you removed had sources already BEFORE I added any new ones. So you removed sourced material. That is vandalism. I know you didn't really mean it because you didn't know what you were doing. But still be more careful before you become a vandal by mistake again. Thanks. Read my message again please. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 06:30, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

i did read your message carefully. thanks. but as i mentioned, what i saw were the facts: only after i tried to improve the article, did you actually come up with the sources for the various statements on that page. and, if you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mikis_Theodorakis#Suggested_material you will see that the vast majority of comments are in my favor. strange you choose one that wasn't. oh well. Soosim (talk) 08:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Dear Soosim, This article is one of a number or articles that Qworty is treating this way. It seems to be an attack on me ant my work in general, and it is characterized by wholesale deletion of text under the claim "unsourced", including bibliographies with books by both major and minor presses, with ISBN numbers. I really don't know what to do about it; i would welcome advise.Rosencomet (talk) 07:54, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

GOCE November 2012 copy edit drive update

Guild of Copy Editors November 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 31 people signed up for this drive so far, 22 have copy-edited at least one article. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us! The September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest was won by Baffle gab1978 for his copy edit of Expulsion of the Acadians. Runner up was Gareth Griffith-Jones for his edit of I Could Fall in Love. Congratulations to both. The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight November 30 (UTC). You don't have to make a submission to vote! November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight November 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin. Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks!

Amiram Goldblum

Goldblum is sabotaging this article himself. Rastiniak is his infantile "pen name" and the 132.64.165.121 IP number is his own private IP at the Hebrew University. Goldblum has been bragging for weeks that HE personally initiated and ran the "apartheid pseudo-poll" that smeared Israel, yet here he is suddenly pretending he had nothing to do with it. He is a pathetic liar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.3.193.217 (talk) 15:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Goldblum created the infamous "apartheid poll" against Israel that was designed to falsely suggest that the majority of Israelis favor an apartheid-like state akin to South Africa in the 1980's. However, numerous Israeli pundits such as Ma'ariv's Ben Dror Yemini who is liberal progreesive have denounced the poll as being deliberately made to bring out an outcome that falsifies the Palestinian propaganda goal of trying to suggest that democratic Israel is a totalitarian propaganda state. It should be noted that the Palestinians are a military dictatorship and not democratic and practice real apartheid against Jews whereas 20% of Israel's population are Israel Arabs who live there with full democratic rights the same as Jews. In Israel Arab-Israeli ciitznes serve as police officers, judges,get affirmative action programs in the univrsities, own businesses the same as any other Israeli. Israel's Supreme Court has an Arab-Israeli judge and several Arab-Israelis are voting members of Israel's parliament. GOldblum has routinely tried to use deceptive reporting and academically non-viable means to try and encourage the state be dismatled at a Jewish homeland or to support outside Arab irredentist groups. <http://isracampus.org.il/third%20level%20pages/HebrewU%20-%20Haaretz%20Editor%20calls%20Amiram%20Goldblum%20a%20biased%20radical.htm> <http://isracampus.org.il/third%20level%20pages/HebrewU%20-%20Amiram%20Goldblum%20must%20apologize%20for%20slandering%20Israel.htm>

Runtsh*t

There are indeed well over 1000 identified Runtsh*t socks; nearly 1700, by my count. Most of the edits have been hidden; but that user's pattern of editing, and choice of username, were characteristic. The edits are usually, like these [ed note: 'these' refers to edits at the Amiram Goldblum page], done via a proxy server (though some have been traced to computers on the University of Haifa server), which makes certainty difficult, and I have only marked this account [ed note: 'this account' refers to the banned user User:Friends of soosim and has nothing to do with Soosim]] as "suspected". But I would be prepared to bet that a checkuser on obvious Runtsh*t sock My tricycle would establish the identity of these two accounts. חג חנוכה סמח. RolandR (talk) 19:53, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

"removing shrubbery covering a structure that could be used as an arms smuggling tunnel or to cover terrorists shooting at the IDF"

I think you have cited the wrong source at Rachel Corrie + ISM. It doesn't appear to be that BBC article[1] or Mother Jones[2]. Also terrorist should probably be in quotes in both Wiki-articles. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

you scared me...it is in the BBC article, second section with the subtitle 'Pushed backwards' - second paragraph there. Soosim (talk) 05:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I saw that but I don't think that is the right source. The BBC article says "The Israeli authorities said at the time that demolitions were necessary because Palestinian gunmen used the structures as cover to shoot at their troops patrolling in the area, or to conceal arms-smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border." but you have directly quoted something else that included the words shrubbery and terrorists, 2 things not often seen together in a report, like herbal garden and wrestler, hence it caught my eye.

Hazon Yeshaya Humanitarian Network

Greetings, Soosim. I can assure you that, although some of the cited reference reads like a promo, it is definitely not paid. But my question is, why did you remove the refs from Carmei Ha'Ir? Although it is promotional (and no-profit at that), it does offer the Wikipedia reader information (and photographs) that put things in context, ie, what a non-profit like Hazon (now Carmei) actually does. Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 14:11, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

efrat - see: Wikipedia:SELFPROMOTE (which talks about not doing that. wiki is not an advertising place); also: Wikipedia:Organizations (which says, in part: An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it.) hope this helps. Soosim (talk) 14:34, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Screenshot of naomi chazan, pages 79-80.png

Thanks for uploading File:Screenshot of naomi chazan, pages 79-80.png, which you've sourced to naomi chazan, pages 79-80. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

You have taken down my piece - your reason being that the report does not mention Hunter. It does actually - did you read it ? Can you indicate how I may enter a reference to this report on the page. What rules do I need to follow ?

hi johannes - first, be sure to sign your posts with four tildes (four of these: ~). secondly, i read and searched the report at the link you provided. hunter's name is non-existent. i did find a few references to the ATF, but nothing like what you wrote. can you tell me what page it is on? also, we generally need a third-party reliable source, not original research for information. thanks Soosim (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi there Soosim! I see you made a post at Talk:Jerusalem/2013 RfC discussion. Are you interested in joining the discussion as a participant? Just let me know if you are. Best — Mr. Stradivarius on tour ^{♪ talk ♪} 07:00, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

i have followed the entire discussion from the beginning. i don't have the time as some of my colleagues apparently do, to spend on this. to me, brevity and honesty is key. so, in this case, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, though many (some? most?) countries do not recognize it as such. In addition, the Palestinian Authority has stated that Jerusalem will be the capital of the future state of Palestine.

but, you guys go ahead and bleed thousands of words on it, and i will watch. and when i can, i will comment! Soosim (talk) 11:03, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision,

you have been blocked from editing for 4 days. You are welcome to make useful contributions once the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and then appeal your block using the instructions there.

---

Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure prohibiting administrators "from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page." Administrators who reverse an arbitration enforcement block, such as this one, without clear authorisation will be summarily desysopped.

Edit warring behavior on five articles

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. In regards to my talk page comments on:

• Talk:Iyad_Burnat (an article you already nominated for deletion): Listing four edits under Section "soosim's last series of edits" and this diff
• Talk:Students for Justice in Palestine this diff where I protest your edit warring habits.
• Talk:Student activism in the BDS movement (an article you already nominated for deletion; it does need merging back to Students for Justice in Palestine but perhaps your edit warring on that article led to its creation in the first place?): this diff where I protest your edit warring habits.
• Revert that removed two new WP:RS examples of separation barriers in order to ensure the remaining one paragraph examples were separate sections; refusal to put back new material when asked.
• Removal of all but one external link because I removed an attack link in a WP:BLP per policy with the insulting edit summary: seems that according to carol, all of these are in violation of wp:blp and RS, etc.)

Keep in mind that while violating the one-revert or three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. CarolMooreDC🗽 19:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

hi carol - thanks for stopping by my talk page again. if you look carefully, all of my edits were summarized in the edit summary and i have been active on the talk pages as well. so, not sure what you are really saying, but thanks for repeating it all here (as you have already said most - if not all - of the above, elsewhere. p.s. thanks for the graphic - nice touch (adds some color to the page!). Soosim (talk) 05:38, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

And then there's putting back full section headers on Separation barrier claiming "no consensus" when two editors on the talk page and the editor who removed them and put in bold section headers all agreed they were WP:Undue. And your reason for reverting "not an accurate reflection of the content of the article" - one paragraph on a topic with minor WP:RS rarely merit full sections in any article. You need to review policy more often and your POV less often. CarolMooreDC🗽 18:21, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Rollback

It's not a perfect world. Fear not! Continue to be scrupulously fair and revert vandalism. Make a special effort to be considerate and avoid edit warring and you will get a very long way. --File Éireann 12:58, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Children in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict

Hi Soosim, regarding your addition to the talk page, I would kindly ask you to remove it from the page as it is not related to the purpose of the page: discussing improvements to the article. If you must you can add the comment to the editor's talk page. If you want some advice, I can assure you that adding a cn tag is not counted as a revert under the 1rr regulations (apart from in the specific case that someone has previously removed the tag from the same position). Dlv999 (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Or strike it since I've replied. I must admit I've been losing my temper at so many of your inaccurate/ill informed criticisms. Why not just look at the relevant policy page from now on and make sure you have it right. That's what I do when I'm not quite sure or need a review. Quoting the policy is even more effective in getting people on the same page - or at least make sure they're discussing the same issue. CarolMooreDC🗽 18:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

the policy says nothing about adding "cn" which was an edit to something which had been edited previously. but,that is why i was asking not accusing. chill out my friends, chill out. life is good. Soosim (talk) 05:09, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Adding anything is not a revert, i.e., because per Wikipedia:Edit warring "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor." (now it could be vandalism if a bunch of junk or an excessive number of tags (like one after every sentence in a section, instead of a section tag) or whatever was added, but that's a separate issue.) CarolMooreDC🗽 05:38, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Soosim, regarding these comments, this is the second time in a week that you have used the talk page of this article to make inappropriate remarks about another editor. Article talk pages are not for engaging in feuds with other editors, it is for discussing content only. Your comment is about another editor it is inappropriate and disruptive, please self revert. To address the actual comment, discussing the edits of another editor is not a personal attack, it is a perfectly legitimate response top bold edit and falls within the remit of discussing article content. Your comments on the other hand are not content related and are purely disruptive to the purposes of the talk page. Dlv999 (talk) 09:31, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Yet another warning

You are headed very rapidly towards a topic ban. Take for example your edit at Israel Eldad where you claimed that you "removed all four references since none of them refer to eldad himself". Did you think that nobody was going to check? Actually three of the five sources you removed name Eldad explicitly. What is your excuse? Zero^talk 11:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

i checked each one, and did a search for eldad, for scheib, sheib, schieb, shieb, and found nothing. of course, i am glad someone checks. but that's strange. also, several of the sources were not RS (like a link to another wiki article?) Soosim (talk) 12:35, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Bowyer Bell's article has "Sheib" twice and "Eldad" 9 times, and supports the claim precisely. So does Ilan's book. Zero^talk 13:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

sorry again - i did a full search of each. Soosim (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Please prevent Goldblum from his oonstant attempts to attack Prof. Plaut on WIki pages. In fact Plaut has never "smeared" Goldblum at all about anything and has barely ever even mentioned Goldblum in his commentaries.

Promoting family members and an election campaign ?

I wonder if this is an example of promoting family members of Soosim. Or that, and is that a family collaboration ? Many of his nearly 70 edits during the last months on David Draiman seem to come out of intimate personal knowledge, not out of general interest in the Disturbed (band) Chicago heavy metal group. I do not think that this warrnats another WP:COIN discussion, but it may serve to remind that there have been also non I/P subjects where Soosim may have promoted against WP guidelines, as well as of him having double standards, and I am sure that this message gets through. It may also not be relevant to the current process at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Soosimרסטיניאק (talk) 09:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק

Arbitration enforcement discretionary sanction: Indefinite topic ban (WP:ARBPIA)

The following sanction now applies to you (in accordance with the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions):

You (editing under any account or IP address) are indefinitely topic-banned (see WP:TBAN) from everything related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

You have been sanctioned for the reason(s) set down in this Arbitration Enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision. This sanction has been recorded on the log of sanctions for that decision. If the sanction includes a topic ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions#Appeal. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal. If you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you.  Sandstein  20:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

May 2013

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Soosim/Archive). If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.   Sandstein  21:00, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:

You can choose to block me indefinitely, topic ban or more. but you should know that I have never sockpuppeted or meatpuppeted. I have asked and never received any answers regarding this. it just isn't true. I have never done such a thing and don't know why you would accuse me of that. Soosim (talk) 04:51, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I have just run another CU check on your account and can confirm Tim's findings: you and Scarletfire2112‎‎ are somehow related. I believe you are two different people who, however, know each other and have edited in a way that violates WP:MEAT. But that's immaterial: it's either a violation of WP:SOCK or of WP:MEAT and both are treated the same way. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 11:19, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

---

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.

There is technical and behavioural evidence that say otherwise, and a quick review of that evidence makes it a little bit obvious. Honesty is a requirement, even though we're just a bunch of atoms on the other end of the wire (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:53, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

ok, there is nothing I can do than, I suppose. we are not related, and I have no sockpuppet inclinations. honest. I do not believe in breaking - or bending - the rules. but if one starts with a faulty assumption, one ends up with an incorrect conclusion. it's just the way it is.

GOCE July 2013 news report

Guild of Copy Editors July 2013 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now! Progress report: Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past. We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps. Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article. – Your drive coordinators: Torchiest, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, and The Utahraptor. >>> Sign up now <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
