User talk:Worldedixor - Wikipedia
1 person in discussion
Worldedixor, do you realize that you have edited PBS's page 45 times in a space of six hours? (Posting your so often stated "I am out of here" as early as the second of the 45 edits — perhaps your password was hacked and somebody else did the other 43?) And yet you state in (approximately) the tenth that "I have shown a lot of restraint today". If nothing else, I presume you realize each of those edits gives the user an alert?
Anyway. Remember when I told you "However, taking your anger with P123ct1 to other arenas, such as ANI, and hounding them there isn't acceptable either, so I suppose I'd better give you a more all-encompassing warning this time. Don't attack P123ct1 or anybody else in any way, or hound them with petty complaints, or you may be blocked"
? [1] Bold in my original. I didn't actually have to read longer than your second post on PBS's page to see that you have started up again with a vengeance. I clicked on some of your diffs purporting to show such things as P123ct1 having "called you names" (this is that particular diff), and they're ridiculous. I have blocked you indefinitely for persistent personal attacks and harassment. It seems to me you have been given many chances to desist and back off, but this is the last straw; I'm not going to tolerate it any longer. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

QUESTIONS TO THE BLOCKING ADMIN so that I can understand what I was blocked for indefinitely:
I had a few days to calm down and reflect on this block. I feel that this indefinite block was a heavy-handed punishment considering that other editors engaging in open edit wars and multiple policy violations have received much lesser block periods or none.
QUESTION 1: REMOVED!
QUESTION 2: REMOVED!
For easy refernce, I will link to [2]
QUESTION 3: REMOVED!
QUESTION 4: I am an editor with exceptional knowledge and my history of "article" edits are well sourced and consistent with policy. Are you aware of my good contributions to Wikipedia? and do you have anything encouraging to say about my always sourced "article" contributions?. If you need examples, ask.
QUESTION 5: Are you aware that many of my highly insightful and well sourced edits have been repeatedly confronted and reverted? Are you aware that I did not even do a 1RR to avoid a WP:EW? If you need examples, ask.
QUESTION 6: REMOVED!
QUESTION 7: REMOVED!
QUESTION 8: REMOVED!
QUESTION 9: REMOVED!

- Worldedixor you have been blocked before and appealed those blocks so you ought to be familiar with the process, you need to read the edit by Bishonen to this page and follow all of the advise and instructions that Bishonen provided, in particular the last sentence. I think your case would be helped if you were to revert the page to the Bishonen edit so that an unblocking administrator can see it--as it is your talk page you are free to revert back to the Bishonen edit (which among other things would delete this comment) and the proceed forwards from there. The current wall of text does not help your case.
- If you do not to revert back to the Bishonen edit then at least restore the Bishonen edit to the top of the page and replace the content copied from other pages my page with simple short links to the sections (I will not be archiving my talk page until the end of the year, so the section will remain there so that you can link to it with confidence). If you have not deleted all your questions (through a reversion) then consider very carefully if they are all needed and if the tone of those that are left are confrontational, if so either remove them or tone them down.
- Then using the template that Bishonen provided for unblock requests explain briefly to a potential unblocking administrator what it is that you will do differently in future so that an unblocking administrator has a reason to unblock your account. I Hope that helps -- PBS (talk) 14:54, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
- Yes, PBS. It's done and thank you! Worldedixor (talk) 18:48, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
- Hi, Worldedixor. This time, I object less than usual to your toplofty, sneering, pedantic manner, since you have after all been blocked, which is a nasty experience, and therefore I make allowances. That said, questions 4 and 5 are the only ones I can take seriously, and so I will reply to them: No, I don't have very much knowledge of your article editing, unfortunately. If life was longer, I'd study it, but it actually makes no difference to my block: there is no kind of article editing that would excuse your outrageous behaviour on talkpages and noticeboards, or your vendetta against P123ct1. I consider you were very lucky not to have been blocked over your previous vendetta against Dougweller; a lot of patience was extended to you there — mainly because as an admin, Dougweller is expected to have a thicker skin — but when you pursue a non-admin user in the same vengeful way, ignoring all warnings, it's enough.
- I'm sorry to see my previous advice here and my pretty detailed block notice have apparently had no effect: you continue, above, to pursue matters that I have already explained, and ask in a wikilawyering way for specific policies against your various kinds of disruption. It's time you realized there's a limit to how detailed policies are. I'll exemplify with your question 2, where you ask "what policy provision restricts edits in a six hour period". Of course you know there is no such policy, and I think you also know that indefinite does not mean infinite (question 1), since you have been a member of the community for many years, and I simply do not believe that you have missed the frequent references to the fact that it doesn't. That's apart from the fact that you're a great (if selective) reader of policy, and the policy WP:BLOCK states it here. Neither do I believe you're incapable of seeing the inappropriateness of your own rants, that you quote in question 2: "They come as a tag team and a lynch mob… They do not attack as individuals, but rather they coordinate their attacks"; (I think you used the word "lynch mob", to refer to two specified, named, people, three times). You repeatedly and baselessly accuse P123ct1 of personal attacks. Or do you really not see it? If that's the case, I don't think you're competent to edit a collaborative encyclopedia.
- As I've told you before, you weren't indeffed just for your excesses on User talk:PBS on November 5; they were more in the nature of a last straw. I recommend you to file a request for unblock, per the instructions in the block notice you blanked, but seriously, do read the guide to appealing blocks first. As PBS indicates, your style and attitude above is unlikely to influence an uninvolved admin in the way you'd hope. And, as PBS also tells you, if you want to appeal, you'd better restore, at a minimum, my block notice which you blanked.
- Whether you decide to appeal or not, please don't pester me with any more pettifogging questions. I use the word "pester" in the sense it's used here: repeatedly asking questions that have already been answered. Here, I'll quote a couple of sentences for you:
Another form of trolling can occur in the form of continual questions with obvious or easy-to-find answers. Of course, sometimes what is obvious to one person is obscure to another. If a user seems to be asking stupid questions, try to give them the resources to help themselves. You can also send them to the help desk. If they persist, politely explain that you would love to help but you are rather busy.
. OK, I would love to help but I'm rather busy. Unless you have something new and meaningful to say to me, I will not respond further on this page. Bishonen | talk 17:08, 10 November 2014 (UTC).Reply
- Bishonen, In response to your statement to my questions 4, I will give a few quick examples so you can get familiar with my edits.
- 2. Corrected a common error often made by beginner, even advanced level Arab language learners

- As for question 5, I will just put this behind because I see recent comments by P123ct1 that may indicate a sincere awareness and change of heart helped by GregKaye's mediation. If P123ct1 is sincere and time will tell, and if I see no digs, remarks, notes tracking me, nothing underhanded, I will even go further and go back to our initial cooperation as it was back in July.
- I admit that I cannot tolerate bias and injustice, and as I once stated: "My attitude is a reflection of the way I am treated. Treat me with respect for my knowledge and well sourced contributions, and don't gang up on me when I have not even communicated with you, and I will treat you better." I also admit that I need to improve my style and attitude as they always mirror the style and attitude who address me, and I invite you to do the same, Bishonen. As for Tecnophant and Dougweller, I will also just leave that behind, as I saw Dougweller showing evenhandedness today. Worldedixor (talk) 19:30, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
