Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Fox News Channel, you will be blocked from editing. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 16:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

You have been warned repeatedly for threatening editors that write or delete matter that is contrary to your liking. I would appreciate it if you stop. Thanks! Wikiport (talk) 08:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Fox News Channel

This article clearly does not fit WP:CSD#G10. Please do not make bad faith speedy nominations - you should use the articles talk page if you have problems with the articles tone or neutralitly. Pedro :  Chat  10:59, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Please don't template the regulars. Also please note that my removal of your bad faith G10 nomination was not a hinderance to Wikipedia - you placing the template without discussion was disruptive. Pedro :  Chat  11:17, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I will grant this, only because it seems clear you will continue to waste my time in reversions. It meets the criteria, and fits the template. Check 1-10. Wikiport (talk) 11:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

It does not meet the letter of G10 (only to disparage the subject). It most certainly does not meet the spirit of the criteria. I am not wasting your time by declining speedy deletion (note - not a reversion). You are wasting your time with these nominations. please use the articles talk page. Pedro :  Chat  11:26, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct; it doesn't meet the bill for G10 in it's entirety if you fail to read the article. There are plenty of attack editorials within the page that does meet the criterium. Wikiport (talk) 11:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Please do not mis interpret my comments. The article does not meet G10. Full stop. It will not be deleted by any administrator under that criteria. Full stop. Pedro :  Chat  11:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree, I will let it fester it the discussion. I'm only bringing something to light here. I see what you are saying about the G10. It was a stretch...Wikiport (talk) 11:37, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Removal of editors comments

Do not remove other editors comments on talk pages as you did here [1]. You are now on the verge of disrupting wikipedia to make a point and will be blocked if you continue. Pedro :  Chat  11:36, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I am free to tailor my talk page. Thanks! Wikiport (talk) 11:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Please actually click on the diff. It relates to the article talk, not your user page. Pedro :  Chat  11:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

You have been continually warned on your talk page, and here. Your point is made and there is no further discussion needed regarding this subject. I don't subscribe to the "last word" comments. Thanks! Wikiport (talk) 11:43, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

1) Do not not come to my talk with a heder of "threats". 2) You are warning me ? Really? I've made it very clear here - you have made several point violations by bad faith nominations and removal of editors comments on talk pages. Feel free to remove this thread but I will not tolerate disruption by you. Pedro :  Chat  11:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I established the HEADER of "threats" on your talk page to illustrate the point that you won't let this issue die. Thank you for your input on the G10 stipulation, I feel you have done all you can. Now, again, please stop contributing to my talk page as you are failing to illustrate anything useful and you are attacking me. I apologize if I have caused you discomfort in your venture. Thanks again! Wikiport (talk) 11:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm not attacking you Wikiport. I'm telling you I'm going to block you if you disrupt wikipedia to make a point. Simple really. So, we've moved on, you realise G10 was wrong, and we can use the article talk to try and improve the issues youve raised about the article. Conversation done here, encyclopedia building commences. Pedro :  Chat  11:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your input on the issue. I didn't realize the template use originally. Wikiport (talk) 12:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Here's a tip, don't insult admins. :) —§unday {Q} 01:16, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Sound advice! To be honest, I didn't realize he was acting as a sysop, I thought he was just trying to argue. I'm glad I realized he was actually trying to help (and that he was quite patient!) Wikiport (talk) 04:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: User talk:Blaxthos. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 11:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

It seems you continually seek the "last word" in this issue, as you have with others. May I suggest to you finding some of the different "talk" forums on the internet? Thanks! Wikiport (talk) 22:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

That's enough. Wikiport, one more uncivil comment like that and I'll blocking you. There is no need for "sock puppet" allegations. Let me be clear: do not insult others and do not attack others personally. Follow the civility policy or you will be prevented from editing here. If you make another "suggestion" like this, you will be blocked for a very long time. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

One thing I'd like to point out that ending a comment with thank you, or have a nice day does not necessitate that the entire warning is civil. Just a heads up wikiport, as I've noticed it in quite a few of your comments on userpages. ;) ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 04:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

ANI proceedings

I have reported your conduct to ANI here. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

That is the wonderful aspect of Wikipedia Blaxthos! Thanks for using the tools at your disposal, I hope you get the outcome you seek. In the mean time, I will make every effort to contribute to the community. Thanks! Wikiport (talk) 02:53, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I think it would be helpful if you responded there. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I have reviewed your editing, and found it extremely poor. Your content changes are adding fuel to the fire rather than assist to address the problem you see, this was particularly disingenuous, and your comments to users have an acidic tone. This is your final warning: either edit with respect for other editors, otherwise you will be banned. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 05:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

ANI Revisited

I have now reported your conduct to ANI a second time here. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 11:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

ANI Third

I have now reported your conduct to ANI a third time here. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 19:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

blocked

Don't remove the block notice. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

It's my talk page, as per policy, I'm allowed to remove any content on my individual talk page. Please, don't undo changes to my talk page. Thanks! Wikiport (talk) 00:10, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

My apologies. You are correct. Sorry about that. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:02, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you can't remove neither the block notice nor the unblock requests while the block is active. Once the block expires you are free to remove all of it. --Enric Naval (talk) 15:16, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

A quick word re the above

Hi there Wikiport. I'm not here to kick up a fuss, but I thought you might appreciate a new face with a neutral outlook. A couple of your edits since your block ended appear to be aimed at baiting another user who you have had previous spats with into an arguement. You might feel hard done by, and want to pursue your agenda, but conflicting with editors won't get that done. Try to remember to be polite. You can disagree with another users point of view all you like, as long as you are curteous and so on. It is, after all, the best way to get your point across. We don't want to see anything decend into allegation-and-cross-allegation-land, it will just become a mess.

Thanks for your time. Regards, SGGH ^speak! 20:11, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

That's no worries, I see it was fixed below. As for requesting further concensus, you can try WP:RFC which has a section for requesting outside opinion on an article, or you could put the article up for peer review for opinions. Cheers, SGGH ^speak! 21:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

If you officially request an RFC on the content of the article you wish to discuss, that is perfect acceptable, and a user who attempts to block such a process would be in the wrong. Same goes for a peer review. SGGH ^speak! 10:27, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:ANI

I hope it wasn't your intention, but your recent edit at WP:ANI here [2] removed several posts from other editors. I have reverted it, please feel free to readd your comments. Dayewalker (talk) 20:38, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Nooo, my apologies. I left the reply on your talk page. Wikiport (talk) 20:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Fox News Intro

Are you sure you want "Wiki" in your user name? Seriously, I'll throw my two cents into the discussion shortly. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 20:58, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow! A compliment from you and from Docku over in India on the same day. I appreciate it. I did get a bit of a snarky message from ol' Blaxthos by way of an article talk page a little while ago, but I guess I had it coming. The fellow is such an arch-type, though, it's hard to resist. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 05:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

October 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your comments, which you added in discussion at Fox News Channel. Please note that on Wikipedia, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. We hope you decide to stay and contribute even more. Thank you! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 11:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you contributed a welcome voice in the WP:RFC that I nominated at the Fox News talk page. I was happy to see the different opinions regarding the question. I'm sure I will see you around. Wikiport (talk) 17:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use talk pages such as Talk:List of Keith Olbermann's special comments for inappropriate discussion, you may be blocked. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 21:47, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

FNC RfC Result

I've reverted the result of the RfC section because although clearly there was a consensus to close the RfC, the result usually responds to the question asked. In this case, there was no consensus to change the intro, therefore it is kept until some time a consensus arises. I hope this explanation helps. Ramsquire ^{(throw me a line)} 16:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I think what Blaxthos is saying is that the original consensus hasn't been changed since subsequent attempts to find a new consensus has failed. He is not claiming that there was a new consensus to keep based on the last RfC. Ramsquire ^{(throw me a line)} 20:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, he has quoted now (4) RfC's to support his position. Wikiport (talk) 06:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

The return of young Wikiport

So, you've returned to spend some time on this highly dubious educational project. Blax and I are currently having some fun at the Olbermann and O'Reilly article and talk pages. You might want to take a look. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 17:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Trollery

Baiting editors will get you blocked indefinitely. You were given a very clear warning last time. Please thoughtfully consider your actions. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 21:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Keep up the good fight!

Keep butting heads with the Wikipedia establishment. They abuse their power to put down the conservatives...PokeHomsar (talk) 17:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Wikiport,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 20:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the visit

Wikiport! Good to hear from you. You're following my work on Wikipedia, are you!? Does that mean that you've become a fan of international badminton? Didya notice that I'm still getting myself into trouble with ol' Blaxthos? This last one really was my fault. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 21:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Haha! Not so much an active fan of badminton I must admit. I occasionally check on poor Blaxthos from time to time. Wikiport (talk) 20:10, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
