As last time, I have moved your draft of the article about you to a subpage (you can find it at User:Bluemarine/Draft) so this page can continue to be used by those wishing to contact you. WjBscribe 12:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Editing your own biography on Wikipedia isn't biased? Aatombomb 03:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

You have been told numerous times that it is inappropriate for you to edit the article about yourself. It violates a number of Wikipedia policies -

If you wish to engage in dialogue, please do so on my talk page and not on my user page. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you would stop referring to me as a 'gay activist.' I have never engaged in any form of activism for gay causes. Aatombomb 23:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there. 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. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot

Hey Bluemarine, there is an RFC (request for comment) about you. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Bluemarine. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 00:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

The reason for the Request for Comment is set out in the RFC summary here. Your input would be appreciated.Typing monkey 18:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

To specify: I don't disagree that this is a current national news story, this deletion request is based on the text and intent of

Wikipedia policy on biographies of living people. It is too early to tell if the story has legs and the adult film actor involved isn't notable on his own. Regards, ˉˉ^anetode╦╩

Spamming the Talk:Matt Sanchez page isn't going to help you settle anything. Aatombomb 04:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page

• I think what you're trying to do is work on the Adam Kokesh article in userspace. I have therefore moved Adam Kokesh/googlea2c18a1566e08036.html to User:Bluemarine/Adam Kokesh. Please don't post any more articles with the long nonsense titles. NawlinWiki 20:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

You may have noticed my edits to the talk page of the article about you. As a Wikipedia administrator my personal background has no bearing upon my sysop decisions; I made the following disclosures to avoid any appearance of impropriety:

• I am a Columbia University graduate.
• I am a United States Navy veteran.

You can Google my username pretty quickly and learn enough to confirm with the alumni office (CC '90). Here at Wikipedia we aim to help new users adjust to site standards. You've gotten off on the wrong foot and perhaps dialog will help. I can be reached through the following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Emailuser/Durova

Bear in mind that there's nothing partisan about this offer. I just happen to have walked a few (nautical) miles in the similar moccasins and I hope there's a friendly way to straighten things out. I'll probably recuse myself from actual use of sysop tools regarding this conflict, but I may request review and intervention by uninvolved administrators if that becomes necessary. My hope is that perhaps that won't be necessary and the parties can settle the issues amicably. Durova^Charge! 01:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:No legal threats for this edit. Durova^Charge! 03:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Is it clear from that edit that he is making a legal threat to a user? If its clear based on other information, then Bluemarine isn't his only username.

I'll put that on Matt's shoulders to clarify. And if it was directed at another editor, I'll also lift this block if he withdraws it. Site policy is strict in this respect, but the situation is easy to rectify. And BTW Bluemarine isn't his only username. But that's neither here nor there. Durova^Charge! 14:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

To request unblocking:

   * IP address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:88.73.124.33
   * Blocking admin: Durova
   * Block reason: legal threat

I'm not sure what part of my edit was a legal threat, please advise.Matt Sanchez 14:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Your very short post wrote, Pending legal action. The context was unclear. Policy takes a very hard line if, for example, that was a threat to initiate legal action against Wikipedia or another editor. If, on the other hand, you intend to pursue legal action against some news source used for this article, then the usual venue for getting related material removed from the page would be to file an

biographies of living persons noticeboard. The article also falls within the scope of five different WikiProjects (linked from the top of the talk page). You could contact them and ask for assistance watchlisting the page. Basically all I ask in order to lift tihs block is either clarification that this wasn't a legal threat or a withdrawal of the statement if it was. If you actually pursue legal action that's your own business of course; please don't discuss it onsite. Durova^Charge!

The link above is an edit difference, your edit can be seen at the top right of the page. Thanks Samuell 22:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Talk pages are meant for discussion about the article, not as a place for general things and issues, just a heads up. Samuell (talk) 22:54, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

The article is a current article. You didn't mention "general things and issues"? you mentioned "insults" What are you talking about? and why are you threatening me with blocking?

My comments have noting to do with your blocking. I was only aware you had been blocked after you were unblocked, I never said anything about insults. I am not theartening you with blocking, just warning, I used this template {{subst:uw-chat3}}. Samuell ([[User_talk:Samuell|Lift me up or put me down]]) (talk) 23:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I was sending you a warning about doing what you did, maybe I should have used I milder template. Maybe could could say I was threatening you (though not in the personal threats manner, because I didn't threaten you with harm), I see it more as telling you that blocking is a possibility for this offense (while it is minor, it can be a annoyance and can be considered vandalism if a user has been warned before). I asked you to stop, it appears you did, you would only have been blocked if you had continued to do so. As far as I can see the issue is close. Thank you. Samuell (Lift me up or put me down) 00:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Samuell - the article in question has a section titled "Articles / opinion pieces". Bluemarine was adding an article he published on the talk page so that admins (who can edit the article) might consider it for inclusion within this already established list. Unlike your warning on this talk page, the link and summary are fully appropriate under the circumstances. Please be more careful in the future. Rklawton (talk) 01:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think Samuell knows what he was doing, beside trying to censure me in some way. Even then, I'm not even sure over what he's concerned because he refuses to state it. Matt Sanchez (talk) 21:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey man, how long were you at Falcon? I was there as a Psyop team member for 2-506 and 2-12 in Dora, for a year I just got back in april. I was there for the AHA incident. Good work on that Baghdad diarist douchebag!--70.139.8.255 (talk) 05:50, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I got to know Dora pretty well too. When I first got there, if you went out on a six hour patrol you would find at least 2 bodies. My team's record for most bodies found in a patrol was 9. When I left we didn't find bodies on patrols that much. It was a huge improvement. Dora market was coming back and people were starting to come back from exile. It's funny, when I got there Dora was known as a "mixed area", Sunnis, Shittes, Christians, but most of the time I was there it was only Sunnis I met. It is so great to be back in the states and hear about the area getting better.

Falcon was accually a pretty laid back Fob while I was there, but just before I left 4th brigade moved there and the whole vibe of th Fob changed to one of high stress. It was no diffrent from being at Fob Liberty.--70.139.8.255 (talk) 08:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! --SineBot (talk

Instead of using the italics HTML tag (<i>), use a pair of single quotes to begin italics ('') and another pair to end the italics. If you insist on using the HTML, please use a close tag (</i>) to end the italics, otherwise you end up italicizing everything on the page from that point on, which is just as annoying as the overuse of boldface I just used. I hate having to edit someone else's comments because of careless formatting, and I've had to do it several times in the past few days. If you want to italicize your signature, do it in your preferences. Horologium t-c 18:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Here's the deal. We've got a policy regarding civil behavior here. You've gotten away with a lot more incivility than most administrators are willing to put up with, and your edits are becoming counterproductive. If you wish to make recommendations for changes to your article, please feel free. However, if you are going to use your article's talk page for a platform to attack other editors - or anyone else for that matter, I will not hesitate to block your account from editing. Conversely, I will make similar warnings to other editors and hold them to the same standard. However, this is not an invitation for you to complain about other editor's comments. Leave that to me and other administrators to sort out. Instead, I wish to encourage you to focus on making meaningful and useful recommendations regarding the content of your article.
