Please reconsider your addition of material to the Daz Sampson article. It is clearly not encyclopedic, not factual information. Any lookalike assertion is just that - it is a point of view. It is also libellous. It is deeply offensive for you to compare someone to a child murderer. Please reconsider the implications of your edit. Thank you. TomPhil 13:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you persist in inserting this poorly-sourced, opinion-based and highly inflammatory comparison into Wikipedia, you may be blocked for violations of the encyclopedia's biographies of living persons policy. Please refrain from doing so. FCYTravis 20:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, that's the point, isn't it? No respectable newspaper would print anything which says a person looks like a child-murderer, unless that alleged resemblance was in some way newsworthy (such as a false arrest based on the resemblance). That would be patently defamatory and quite possibly actionable. It's scurrilous, irrelevant nonsense which tells us absolutely nothing about the person, and unfairly attaches their name to a violent predator. It doesn't belong on Wikipedia unless you can find a more credible source than a pair of gossip Web sites. FCYTravis 21:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Manchester Uni eh?
editYou go to Manchester Uni? So do I. I take it that you're talking about University of Manchester and not Manchester Metropolitan University? Do you live in halls? --Deskana (talk) 21:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, I am a postgrad. I see you are checking me out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Deskana#Daz_Sampson. Perhaps you should add some sort of warning on Daz Sampson that editors are not allowed to write anything negative about him. Brine Pepaz 09:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- "Not allowed to write anything negative" != "Looks like Ian Huntley". I won't argue over semantics with you. That's just the way it is. --Deskana (talk) 21:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
RFC discussion of your username (Brine Pepaz)
editHello, Brine Pepaz, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Wikipedia has a policy on what usernames editors can use. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it here. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- Ali'i 22:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Blocked
editI have indefinitely blocked this account. Tom Harrison Talk 22:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think you deserve an explanation. There has been a long-standing debate over an article on a person named Brian Peppers, which created a lot of hurt feelings and community disruption. Your account was created after this, and people are sufficiently sensitive to the issue that your username may create problems with people down the road. However, if this is your real name, and you don't want to change, I can understand that. If you want to be unblocked, go to User:Mangojuice and click on "E-mail this user" and email me, and we'll work something out. Mangojuicetalk 14:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
