Misplaced Pages

Goddammit.... Why do I even bother? Koalorka (talk) 22:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Topic banned on Theserialcomma

(Copied on WP:ANI and the users' talk pages and Misplaced Pages:Editing restrictions)

I'm going to one-up that. Every location in which Koalorka and Theserialcomma are butting heads has multiple uninvolved administrators participating. Their interactions have overwhelmingly been either baiting or attacking each other, and completely unrelated to article content, for a while now. Given that there's always an admin looking over their shoulder, they have no need to be reporting each other to ANI or WQA (or 3RR or anywhere else - someone else who can act will notice), and that they are unable to interact in a constructive manner, and that both have risen to the level of disruptive in responding to the other...

Koalorka and Theserialcomma are topic banned on each other. Broadly construed, neither may revert each others' edits, follow up a talk page comment by the other, comment on the others' talk page, or report the other to noticeboards.

If one violates, and no response is forthcoming within twelve hours, the other may make a single line notification to an uninvolved administrator with a link to the topic ban and the diff of the particular edit which violated it. If no response is forthcoming within 18 hours, a second admin, and if no response is forthcoming within 24 hrs a post to ANI with the same information. In no case may either party engage in additional discussion unless asked direct questions by uninvolved admins.

You both go to your corners and stay there. If one comes out swinging, they go down. If you both start swinging, you both go down.

Lest there be any question about it - this disruptive behavor on both of your parts has at this point exceeded community patience and the sum of your positive contributions to Misplaced Pages. Stop, or your tenures on Misplaced Pages are at the end. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

File:Browning M2HB .50-caliber.jpg

US Government websites not only host government created works - see the disclaimers for defenseimagery.mil or army.mil. Per the EXIF, and maybe per the description in the past, this photgraph was not taken by an US employee but an Australian soldier and is not public domain per {{PD-USGov}} or similar licenses like PD-USGov-Military-Navy/Army. --Martin H. (talk) 15:18, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

If it is published by a federal entity, is it not PD? Koalorka (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

The template even says it is public domain because it was created by an US employee - nothing else matters. Maybe you want to replace the image with something free from http://defenseimagery.mil/imagery.html#a=search&s=.50-caliber%20machine%20humvee (better search terms possible) --Martin H.

First off, this edit wasn't nice/AGF, knock it off~! If you seriously think that J_E is my sock then why not start a SPI? Secondly, I'm of the opinion that the said image on article page can be updated to reflect the latest model/design, per WP:BOLD. Lastly, name callings of your fellow editor will lead you to nowhere in terms of AGF, you should know that since you're a seasoned editor. Why can't you have the courtesy of thinking that other editors are here to help improve the article? Other than the obvious vandalism edits, why is it that you always think of the worst of others. Have you forgotten that Misplaced Pages is a collabarative effort? I won't mince my word but you really ought to be ashame of yourself! --Dave1185 (talk) 01:49, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Who are you and why do you appear when I find myself embroiled in conflict with someone else only to oppose me for the sake of confronting me? I'm beginning to think this is no longer a bizarre coincidence. My frustration stems mostly from the fact that 99% of the editors DO NOT improve the article, but instead, whether it be good intentions or not, tear away at it piece by piece. Have you noticed that there hasn't been any significant CONTENT or cited material contributed apart from my work? Take a look through the history. I'm either reverting Malaysian space rangers from the Users list or quarreling over some totally redundant details like I am now. I'm aware of two, possibly 3 editors actually introducing quality content. It's frustrating. Koalorka (talk) 01:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

• Continue to behave as such towards me isn't going to do you any good and like I've said before, take it to SPI if you think that J_E is my sock. If not, knock it off~! I'm not here to argue with you for the sake of it, mind you. FYI, I just happen to be reading the article and wondered why the profile image kept changing, is that a coincidence? If you think it is, then it is. If you think it is not, then it isn't. I have nothing to hide fom anybody. --Dave1185 (talk) 02:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Good, then address the latter half of my response above. Koalorka (talk) 02:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

• Per your frustration, mayhaps you need to take a wikibreak. And I most certainly don't have to answer you on the last part since you have taken it on your own assumption that you are above the rest and that all others are not worthy of collaborating with you on Misplaced Pages (It's written all over your top statement, go read it!). Plus, I'm not here to judge you but please don't take it as your task to judge others, you are not god and you most certainly aren't an Admin here calling the shots. Take it to SPI if you want, my conscience is clear. --Dave1185 (talk) 02:53, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

What makes you think you can offer me advice? What a silly little internet character you are. I don't think you're qualified to even speak in your own defense, let alone dispensing advice to others. Run along now, there's a bloodthirsty Indonesian chargin' Malaysia! Koalorka (talk) 03:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

• Right... most likely it's a mad moose wanting to soar like a Canadian Geese that's acting up again on your side, eh? Once again, knock it off~! PS: Don't be so full of yoourself. --Dave1185 (talk) 03:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

That makes no sense, just stop, it's painful to watch. I'll see you in a year or two, until then watch your back. Those Indonesians are a slippery bunch ya know. Koalorka (talk) 03:50, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

• Whatever. --Dave1185 (talk) 03:56, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I accept your apology. Don't waste so much of my time next time. Koalorka (talk) 03:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

• I'm not going to laugh at you since you've already gotten what you deserved. Next time, I'll take you to WP:ANI for your persistent flippant disregard of WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL, which also has the detrimental effect of making you look like a disruptive editor since your behaviour towards J_E was no different from biting a new comer. If you have nothing better to say, say nothing. --Dave1185 (talk) 06:58, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Run along back to your sweatshop skippy. Koalorka (talk) 14:09, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Based on this and your multiple reverts, I've suspended your editing rights for a week. Tom Harrison 23:29, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

How does that address the problem? Koalorka (talk) 13:45, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

It prevents you from continuing to abuse and harass other contributors, and prevents you from continuing to edit war. Tom Harrison 13:57, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

So it excludes me from debate and gives the other confrontational editor a free hand.. That solves the problem according to you? Fantastic, thanks for contributing to the dysfunction. You're not qualified to be an admin. And it takes 2 to edit war. The source of the problem was that EMT fellow, who continued to revert and escalate after being warned.

Do this again and I will block you. It's his talk page, and it's irrelevant. Each wiki is different. If he's socking or screwing around here, report it. Otherwise, knock that off or you will be done here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
