If you wish to share some love, please do so below.

As I am currently blocked from defending myself at WP:ANI (here), I am making alonger statement here so it can be read by those admins and those following the issues relating to the British Isles naming dispute on the Wikipedia.

Thank you for your patience. --

How are you blocked from ANI? Merely post what you want there 'here' & get an administrator to transfer it to the ANI. If I recall correctly, you've been made aware of this, numerious times before. PS: Get a new pair of glasses, hehehe. GoodDay (talk) 14:24, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• In my experience --- and from my recent observation of how LevenBoy was treated --- it does not happen. To suggest it is a faultless system is not true. if you wish to, please do (see below).
• A number of the admins involved in this dispute appear to prefer to block individuals first and then exclude them from defending themselves. Cailil, SarekOfVulcan etc ... this is not my first time. It is deeply unethical. Far more unethical than any imagined incivility I might have committed.
• Even if comments are transfer, it still does work because they are not transfer at the right time into the right place in the discussion and hence become either meaningless or even self-damaging.

If you judge me by contributions, I have actually done basically nothing of "damage" the project. Unblocking me to allow me to defend myself at ANI is no threat to the project. Since understanding the system, I have been formal and polite in my interaction with other. I have a very good record of working from references even in quite obscure areas. --

Which article did Bj replace 'British Isles' in, without going to BISE first? GoodDay (talk) 14:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looie496 made a very serious procedural mistake (there was no Arbcom sanction) --- and misinterpretation. And yet he block appears to be based on his own further interpretation.

I agree "saying you are a stupid liar" is "as uncivil as you can get" but I did not say it. It is as simple at that. I address a difficult situation, in a difficult context of which Looie496 knows little ... in a formal, polite and civil manner. I really did.

Bjmullan could easily have doubled check on Google before entering an error into the Wikipedia. He did not. That is the sort of integrity I would expect of a Wikipedian --- BEFORE --- they made a edit in an area strewn with POVs and laid the onus of proof onto others.

Satellite Broadcasting

Contributing to an Encyclopedia also requires some applied intelligence. I am sure Bjmullan is intelligent. The question is, did he chose to apply it? Now, anyone considering Satellite Broadcasting in the British Isles for 3 seconds --- least of all someone involved in along term political dispute over it --- would realise that any signal to Britain and Ireland is going to hit the Isle of Man (which is in neither). Therefore, to change a correct "British Isles" to an incorrect "Britain and Ireland" --- AGAINST THE SANCTION --- could be a a bad faith edit.

In response to TOFWR, think again about the accuracy of the content. Satellite Broadcasting has two parts, the signal --- which can goes everywhere --- and the marketing of that signal. In the case of a company, we are not taking about satellite broadcasting per se but the commercial marketing of that signal ... which according to the company report was to the British Isles.

Civility

Again, I did NOT say "Mullan's edit was a bad faith edit". I said, " In my opinion, Mullan's edit ...". In the professional circles to which I am used, that is applying civility in an area of disagreement. It is suggesting that I could have been wrong. I spoke in general about intelligence and integrity. I did not say, "Bjmullan is being stupid and has no integrity" --- which would most certainly have been uncivil.

Lastly, in every legal or legalistic procedure I know, "truth" is a pretty good defence. In this case,

the individual who insert the factual content error walks away free,

the individual who drew people's attention to the correct facts is being blocked for a year

endless hours of wasted efforts and energy are expended--

You're gonna have to remove the comments on other editors, before you can get this transfered to ANI. GoodDay (talk) 14:30, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Triton, I've copied your submission to ANI as requested. Good luck with it. LemonMonday Talk 17:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All this talk of "anger", "battle" and "incivility" is a projection and a distraction.

Thank you Gimmetoo. Yes, I was observing TB01. I did not edit war and yet Bjmullan --- who reported my comments here --- did break the sanction and has walked away Scot free.

People, I am perfectly calm. I am also a grown up who writes in a formal manner. I know how to be uncivil. I chose not to be. Yet a new admin decided --- on the basis of an interpretation only --- decides that I was. I offer to you that it was simple inexperience or over-enthusiasm on his behalf and an overreaction which I do not hold against him. However, I do still suggest that Bjmullan's reporting was a deliberate and tactical move within the greater British Isles naming dispute rather than a good faith one and can provide the evidence if requested.

• For all the distractive discussion, I note that no one is willing to address the inciting incident. Bjmullan's removal of the term British Isles --- AGAINST SANCTIONS --- and its --- ERRONEOUS --- replacement with "United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland" at
  British Sky Broadcasting. A factual error which remains 14 days later, see: [1]
  .

One of the comments that has been made before is that all the blocks, bans and sanctions that are being thrown around in this dispute are one sided. Here we have another case where one editor breaks a sanction inserting Republic of Irelan d and it is overlooked and another editor defending the correct use of British Isles (from good references) raises the issue, and is banned.

One of the problems with Cailil's original sanction is that it was not well defined, that its real meaning was hidden. The term "incivility" is too broad, open to abuseful misinterpretation and not helpful for new admins.

In my opinion, and please allow me to be open and honest, Cailil's original sanction was really as simple as, "Stop pointing out that the editors removing the term "British Isles" are Irish republicans or nationalists ... even if they self-disclose their nationalist sentiments on their user or talk pages". Whereas I do not think that I have really been "uncivil", it is true that I did repeatedly point out that the editors removing the term "British Isles", and campaigning against its use, are Irish republicans or nationalists, and I stopped.

As an aside, I do think that discussions at ANI should be "without prejudice" (in its legal meaning), exempt from petty interpretations of "incivility" and not permissible as further evidence against an individual --- It is impossible to discuss an issue without discussing an issue, e.g. that there are nationalist agenda's at play here which need to be taken into consideration and discussed at a place like this. I do not know where is the correct place is.

• My position is neither 'pro' nor 'con' either side of the nationalist dispute but remains that politics should be kept out of non-political areas.--

Discussion

Just go and do something usefull with your life Triton. You have nothing to gain from learning how to play this game, and take it from me, when the only answer you ever get back to a content point is, 'you must AGF!', then you are still a normal, cluefull person, who probably has more to lose by becoming a full on Wikipediot, than this topic would ever gain. It is infested with pure POV nonsense and POV pushing editors, who are the real SPAs here, which no ordinary Joe admin has even the first clue about how to deal with properly on their own, or even in counsel at ANI, not while Bjmullen is rattling the cage for action anyway, in one of the most blatant bits of gamery I've seen in a while. But take some heart in the fact that in the real world, these changes don't have much effect. That's just obvious whenever you see a true outsider comment on any one of those BISE 'discussions', even true green British hating Irish people. It's also why there will never ever be a community accepted guideline that follows some of ideas being served up there, even though they laughingly call that the task force's purpose of existence. As seen in Israel-Palestine and the Macedonia dispute, the enforcement situation won't get any more cluefull until it reaches arbcom. MickMacNee (talk) 14:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Triton - FWIW, I do think that was awfully harsh - one year for a borderline uncivil statement (and make no mistake, it was borderline uncivil). I might be willing to support an unblock if and only if you damned well agree to walk on eggshells for the rest of the year. In other words, you can edit, but you absolutely must must must be so polite to the opposing sides that it would make your kindergarten teacher proud. If you can't agree to that, then nevermind.

It doesn't exactly "carefully hide" it, considering that he called attention to it in his unblock request -- but it's still not an acceptable change. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first block summary said it was to enforce an arbcom decision. That was later modified to say it was simply disruptive editing. I think we can chalk up any concerns with Triton's change to the discrepancy from the original blocking admin. Now, which one is actually claimed as a basis for this block? Is this really a one year block for "disruptive editing" - for making one talk page post? Gimmetoo (talk) 13:31, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your quote: Not going to happen. It's pretty clear that you completely fail to understand how universal the rejection of your approach to editing is, at least among admins. That says it all, doesn't it. The approach among admins is no more relevant than the approach among any group, so I'm wondering why you made that statement. LemonMonday Talk 19:13, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I qualified the statement because TR is by no means the only editor who treats Wikipedia as a battleground. That approach is rejected by pretty much every admin and the great majority of other editors, but it wouldn't be correct to say that TR is the only editor who favors it. The practical reason for saying "at least among admins" is that block appeals are handled by admins, and an appeal won't succeed unless there is at least one admin who sees it as valid. Looie496 (talk) 17:26, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find the whole thing very funny, and it speaks volumes for the type of person who gets to be an admin (not singling out anyone in particular). Block appeals are rarely, if ever, successful. Why? Because of two things; 1) Admins are always right, even if they're wrong. 2) You were blocked because YOU were at fault, even if you weren't. The admin cabal is one of the major shortcomings of Wikipedia. LemonMonday Talk 17:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you have to say "(not singling out anyone in particular)" as part of your comment, then you ought to stop and rewrite your comment to be more civil, and less assuming of bad faith, and less violating of

SarekofVulcan, you have before messed around with my talk page during an ANI discussion about before, and blocked access disallowing me to defend myself.

I would like to ask you politely not to do so. You either seem not to understand what was being said, or are seeking to provoke the situation further as you did edit-warring with me as I tried to develop the British Manual of Style pages. --

You were asked to strike the edit here (at 17:10, 25 October 2010) and here (at 17:13, 25 October 2010). You weren't blocked until 05:17, 26 October 2010 (over 12 hours later). The "one small edit, plac[ing] one comment" you made was here (16:03, 25 October 2010) (13 hours prior to your block). A civility parole was suggested by Cailil at ANI, and modified and agreed by the community—as you already know. The implication that an editor's nationality or descent affects their editing constitutes as

"ill-considered accusation of impropriety". Incidentally, nearly all the editors involved at BISE are British or Irish, or of recent British or Irish descent (I'm using the "recent" qualifier to avoid including Canadian or New Zealand editors, etc). TFOWR 08:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

Third Comment for ANI

TFOWR, my friend, I don't live online or on the Wikipedia all day. You seem to be spending ten hours a day on this website. I cannot keep up. I sleep 8 hours when I can and, unlike others I suspect, I have to go to work in the real world. I don't know how and where to follow all the page changes, discussions and reporting that go on, as others appear to be able to. I guess am a good bit older than many of you. I don't even know how to report someone or where, and it is really not in my nature to.

What I remember is Cailil pushing the one month block through very quickly through before I responded to it --- even after I politely requested that the accusation wait until the bogus Checkuser was complete, my request not even being acknowledged. I was blocked from defending myself by Sarek of Vulcan, I think, had my talk page reverted to hide comments I was working on at the time etc. I see that Sarek of Vulcan has even been back again. Like I said, knew nothing of this recent block until I went to preview another detailed page I was working on at the time.

• This
  British Sky Broadcasting
  episode --- which even you have not corrected yet --- illustrates yet again what is going on at the Wikipedian British Isles Renaming Task Force.

Despite there being inarguable references [7] to the fact that British Sky Broadcasting broadcasts to the whole of the British Isles, the usual Irish contingent (HighKing, Bjmullan etc) ignore it, continue to revert to the factually erroneous "UK + RoI", and invests endless time and energy in banning anyway who calls them at their game and provides the citations to prove them wrong --- just as I did with the "conkers episode" in which I was also correct, supported by citations, yet earned the one month ban.

How much more evidence do you require? I am happy to provide it.

It appears that I am not allowed to respond to your comments regarding the nationalist allegiances of editors --- for fear of it being used as a excuse to censor me yet again --- but allow me to say that I have not come across any British Nationalist Party members on the Wikipedia yet and share no sympathies with them.

Keep politics out of non-political areas. --

Triton Rocker (talk) 16:58, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

Picking up on a few points:

• When I do something I think may be controversial, I do it when I have the time to deal with any consequences. Admin actions I try and do in the morning when I know I'll be around in the afternoon. I'd suggest that if you want to behave controversially then make sure you have the time to deal with the consequences. It's not unreasonable to expect you to monitor posts you've made for responses, at least for a few hours (and that should apply whether or not you expect the posts to be controversial - I hang around for a response even when I'm sating something as non-controversial as "good morning!")
• This
  WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT
  - an inability to read or understand the posts you're replying to. You repeat this statement like a mantra, without apparently reading or understanding the replies made. You apparently believe yourself to be correct - my replies to you (and there have been at least two now) have shown, not that you're incorrect, but that your absolute belief is misplaced. Until and unless you're able to read and understand counter-arguments I'm sceptical as to how much value you can bring to discussions.
• Your comment about the BNP seems to be a non sequitur. You are repeatedly try to draw attention to editors' political beliefs - real or imagined. No one has, so far as I'm aware, suggested that you are a member of or supporter of the BNP. Believe it or not, it shouldn't actually matter: I have worked with BNP supporters (at other articles, outside the British Isles area) and I don't have a problem with their political beliefs so long as those beliefs don't affect their editing.

I understand that BISE is a challenging area to work in: I find it challenging. I understand, too, that there are issues that have not yet been dealt with. These areas are not going to get dealt with until progress is made in other areas. You'll be aware, for example, that other editors have engaged in sock-puppetry. (I am in no way pinning the blame for that on you, by the way, I'm merely using it as an example of a problem that you and I are both aware of). But progress requires a degree of improvement from all participants. Sock puppetry can be dealt with. What's more challenging is the behavioural problems like civility, like

WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT

. I hope that as time goes on participants will be more civil, and will behave with increased maturity. Some participants are already capable of seeing that there are often (not always, granted, but often) two quite legitimate sides to a discussion. I don't believe that you're at that point yet - you still seem to believe that in any almost every case "British Isles" is the only option, as shown by your consistent refusal to see beyond your narrow viewpoint in the BSkyB issue.

Believe it or not, I do not want to see editors blocked or banned. I do not believe it's inevitable in most cases. Sock puppets - it's inevitable. In your case - it's far from inevitable. As far as I can see you've done good work in non British Isles areas, and I have no doubt that you could also do good work in the British Isles area too. I've worked in a number of

WP:POV

areas - Greece/Macedonia, Arabia/Persia, and recently around Israel/Palestine. Could I suggest you take a look at some of these areas (areas where you would normally have no involvement)? The reason I suggest that is because seeing other editors pushing a POV could be really helpful to you: you'd understand better why a neutral point-of-view is desirable, how it's achievable, etc. Right now you apparently believe that you're neutral, non-political, etc. That's understandable - most editors (myself including) believe that. I also believe, however, that it's only once we become aware of where our own biases are that we're able to truly edit in a neutral manner.

(Incidentally, I've replied here rather than copy this to ANI, as it seemed to be purely a response to me rather than a comment that needed to be addressed at ANI). TFOWR 09:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TFOWR, and for the sake of others that read these comments, can we please examine the language by which you present me?

Let us start by taking the comment, "shown by your consistent refusal to see beyond your narrow viewpoint in the

BSkyB

issue".

a) "Consistent refusal". FACT. I only made one short comment, here [8].

It is not possible to 'refuse consistently' by only making a single comment. There are plenty of issues I have taken no side on.

b) "My narrow viewpoint". FACT. BSkyB broadcast and markets to the "United Kingdom, Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man" --- NOT "United Kingdom and Ireland". That is not my "narrow viewpoint" that is a sustainable fact support by the references. I offered the company report, try Jane's space directory for the sake of HighKing here: Volume 11. Wilson, Andrew 1995. "All transmissions were encrypted, confining reception to the British Isles: services began 29 Apr 1990."

The combination of United Kingdom, Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man is "the British Isles". It is a non-controversy and yet now I see discussion suggest that the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are included in the UK [9]!

That, therefore, leads us then to ask on what basis you are moderating this? To speak openly and honestly about it --- which does not appear permissible --- It is just a question of appeasement to equate "United Kingdom and Ireland" to "United Kingdom, Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man" --- a question of "one to one side and one to the other side" --- or is it based on fact?

Unbelievably, I read HighKing write recently, "The British Isles does not have a coast"! [10]. Try, 'Flora of the British Isles'. Arthur Roy Clapham, T. G. Tutin, D. M. Moore - 1990 "Distribution not fully known, but appears to be frequent round the coast of the British Isle". 'The Environment of the British Isles, an Atlas'. Andrew Goudie, Denys Brunsden - 1994.

And this is the man who said "no one in Ireland uses the word conkers" despite --- as I pointed out --- the Irish Government doing so. Can you honestly not see how far consistently out of perspective that is?

• The one issue that does remain to be decide for once and for all whether "United Kingdom + Ireland" equals "British Isles". The argument that "it is sometimes used" really does not go far enough. Yes, it is sometimes used --- just as England is used around most of the World for Britain (much to the chagrin of the Scots).

Both are being used 'erroneously' --- and that is a fact (not my opinion).

I can imagine those editors campaigning to remove every possible British Isles reference will fight tooth and nail against that issue ever being brought to a decision. --

You need a mentor, for when your block expires. Somebody who can keep ya away from getting yourself into trouble. GoodDay (talk) 14:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've commented at least three times on BskyB: at BISE, here (copied to ANI), and again above in the post I replied to (and then a fourth time, in the post I'm now replying to). That seems to me to be "consistent refusal" (once, fair enough - second, third and fourth times - not so much).

"Both are being used 'erroneously' --- and that is a fact (not my opinion)". No, it's your opinion. You've presented a source that supports your POV. Great. I've presented two sources that challenge your POV. I don't know which is correct - but I'm not assuming it's "a fact (not my opinion)". Until you learn that you can't cherry-pick the sources that support your POV there's not much progress going to be made. You have to accept that sometimes sources differ. If they didn't, our work here would be easy. TFOWR 14:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TFOWR, I understand perfect. You know that I understand. We both know what is going on.

What I note --- and what is of more importance to the Wikipedia --- is that time and time again you cannot or will not repond regarding the content issue I am raising. The issue which has brought all this to a head. The errors which are being inserted into the Wikipedia.

• That is to say --- "United Kingdom and Ireland" does not equal "United Kingdom, Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man".

You, yourself, have admitted when you said that "we all know" that Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not in the United Kingdom.

What have we here?

• Bjmullan --- an Irish editor who is a long term supporter of the Irish editor HighKing's campaign to remove the term British Isles - removed British Isles from
  BSkyB and replaced it was United Kindom and Ireland, see: [12]
  , against the sanction. He is not sanctioned and the factual error remains.
• Bjmullan then immediately reports me on my return for a contrived misconduct against after a single edit, here: [13] and is successful at having me sanctioned again with the support of other, usual, Irish activists.

One of the other activist Cailil, who construed the terms of my sanction, is further seen lobbying on other admins pages known to be antipathetic to other editors involved. (see below).

It is time the Wikipedia stopped and took a serious look at this British Isles renaming campaign. Too many people's time is being wasted. Too much goodwill which would otherwise be put into the Wikipedia is being destroyed.

I am sorry to say this but you have stepped beyond the neutral point in these matters now and the content quality is suffering by allowing.

You played a part in escalating this business. I showed good faith in continuing to edit and find references. Now you show me the "Good Faith" by allowing me to carry on editing in other areas. It is that simple. --

Request reason:

:* I do not accept my block being reviewed by Jehochman. :* Jehochman has an extensive history of dispute with individuals related to the British Isle renaming issue who have had to reject the idea that his ability to review is neutral or objective in any way. See, here: [14]. :* Furthermore, he has been subject to lobbying from one of the Irish editors involved in the British Isles renaming dispute, Cailil. See, here: [15]. : Therefore, my point remains, the non-involved editors of good faith saw the length of block for the perfectly civil single talk page edit I made [16] as being excessive I believe they were correct and that Looie496's, a new admin with only a couple of week's experience, interpretation of my words was over-enthusiastic. : Please note that the length of this ban was determined by a previous one month block based again on a single edit to a talk page, here [17] --- again, in itself, perfectly formal and polite enough. : Cailil construed a report is here: [18] using prejudicial accusations relating to an outstanding checkuser report, here [19] which was later overturned as "conclusively unrelated". :I requested that such discussion of Cailil accusation was delayed until the checkuser findings were delivered. That polite request was ignored. I was never given a fair chance to defend myself against it as I was blocked from editing even my talk page at the time. --

Decline reason:

Whether Jehochman is biased with respect to you is moot now that your block has been reviewed by the community.

The result of the discussion is that there is no consensus to lift your block at this time. Several editors have commented that they would either shorten the block to three months or consider another appeal after three months. Accordingly, you may make another appeal three months after the start of the block.  Sandstein  22:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You don't get to choose your unblock reviewer, Triton; you get whichever one shows up. I, for one, think your block is entirely deserved and is based on your own actions, not others' as you seem to feel the need to suggest in your unblock requests. I'd decline your unblock request, but since I've already blocked you once, I'll see if there can't be some other admin so there'll be fresh eyes on this.

Thank you for your reasonableness.

Perhaps but looking more closely at the issue, I see that Jehochman also indefinitely blocked LemonMonday, here [20], for the making the smallest of comments, here [21] and refused MickMacNee here [22] almost immediately beforehand. He seems to have been acting intemperately.

Now, again, coincidentally, all these blocks and bans are coming down in the Irish favour against editors that have raised questions, in a reasonable fashion, about the conduct of editors involved in

HighKing (talk · contribs · logs) campaign to remove all use of the term British Isles

and are being coordinated by Irish editors like Bjmullan, Cailil who had me blocked etc.

I politely requested more than once that the discussion/decision wait until the checkuser cleared and the requests were ignored - I feel deliberately - by Cailil. --

Request reason:

: Unblock request on the basis of 'double standards', as being applied here [23]. Note unblocking admin Jehochman had immediately previous refused an unblock to allow me to defend myself at ANI as per Gavin.collins. : From my point of view, this request is actually a retrospective request going back to the first one month block, the terms of which were construed by Cailil, here and which I have never been allowed the chance to even query or have defined. : Cailil rushed through his punitive block and the terms of it --- the terms of sanction he is now using to defend inspection of his own actions --- whilst a prejudicial checkuser accusation was in place and whilst I was being refused the right to response/defense/input. See; here. I polite requested that it wait until the checkuser was cleared and it was all ignored. There was no "community census" or input into the terms. He wrote it himself. : Please note: :* This one year ban arose because I made a single comment that said Bjmullan broke a sanction --- which Bjmullan then reported --- and a general comment that we had encounter bad faith from him at the British Isles discussions in the past. :* Bjmullan goes on to states at the latest ANI discussion I will repeat here again so that (Triton Rocker) may understand, I am under NO sanctions at BISE. :* Yet what the

The community declined your last unblock -- the only remaining appeal at this time is to Arbcom. Since you can contact them by email, I am removing your access to this talkpage to prevent further abuse of the unblock process. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
