Please note Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/September 11 conspiracy theories#Discretionary sanctions. I'm involved, but the decision applies to putting conspiracy theories in the main article, as well as improper edits as to articles about the conspiracy theories. Please note that I cannot block under those sanctions, but there is probably at least one uninvolved admin left who can. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:13, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

That would be me. DawnisuponUS, please review WP:SOAP and avoid abusing the talk page. If you want to post there, restrict your posts to suggesting improvements to the article which are cited to reliable sources. Thank you. SHEFFIELDSTEEL 14:05, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Er, excuse me, Mr. SS, sir, but you are NOT an uninvolved administrator for the 9/11 articles. Your edits have been all OVER the place there. Wowest (talk) 04:36, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Please see WP:UNINVOLVED for more information about what constitutes an "uninvolved administrator". My involvement in 9/11 articles is on an administrative basis, and has been for some time. SHEFFIELDSTEEL 13:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, just lovely, feel free to come in and resolve your differences. DawnisuponUS (talk) 16:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

No personal attacks

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. This edit summary contains two attacks.

I'm threading lightly, as ever. Did you warn the other party about civility and misconduct? Is there a policy about double standards? I don't perceive you as uninvolved editor, but I'm always assuming good faith and I do appreciate the subtle formulation of your warnings. DawnisuponUS (talk) 01:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Oklahoma City bombing

Thanks for your comment. The article has definitely come a long way since others and I first started working on it. Hopefully, I can continue to work on it and get it featured. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 19:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Your edit to Donald Rumsfeld

What are you trying to say? Your paragraph right now is essentially a contextless quote with a strong potential for being read as a smear. Biographies of living people must be written conservatively to prevent such misreadings. It may help you to read our policy on biographies of living persons, as well as other, more general guides on writing at Misplaced Pages (e.g. Misplaced Pages:How_to_edit_a_page).

Discretionary sanctions

Please follow our core policies on Verifiability, Neutral point of view, and No original research, and observe the terms of the arbitration at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/September 11 conspiracy theories. Note in particular the discretionary sanctions listed there. Specificaly, stop trying to slant articles to favor the conspiracy theories, avoid repeating argumants that have already been addressed, don't use the talk page as a soapbox for your political views, and don't cherrypick sources to support your thesis.

I'm sorry Tom but your conduct and involvement in that article makes this note irrelevant. DawnisuponUS (talk) 15:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Please don't revert any more edits at September 11 attacks. Repeated back and forth reverting, or edit-warring, is very disruptive and if you continue to revert, you may be banned from editing 9/11 related articles, per the article probation.
As an aside, my apologies for responding to another editor on your Talk page. It was not my intent to cause you any stress. SHEFFIELDSTEEL 18:21, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Apologies accepted, now if you would be so kind and throw another for your utterly unfounded allegation that I've engaged in edit-warring. I have not done a single edit/revert in article main space. DawnisuponUS (talk) 03:41, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

"I have not done a single edit/revert in article main space." your contributions to article main space say otherwise. The User Contributions link may be on the left of your screen. If that one isn't appropriate, the page is accessible as Special:Contributions. Be sure to enter the correct username, to avoid mistakes and confusion. Tom Harrison 12:52, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
