See his talk page to see why I've blocked him indefinitely (a block he can get lifted easily if he wishes). Dougweller (talk) 18:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Makes perfect sense to me. He has gotten better about not copying and pasting text, but obviously he doesn't understand image copyright. Duplicating the images and putting new licenses on them, claiming he's the creator, shows he hasn't taken the time to read the information after multiple explanations. I've made my attempts to explain and assume good faith, but he chose not to pay attention. Thanks for letting me know. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 18:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I was asked to move it on IRC, and the user provided some pretty good sources for moving it. Since it needed an admin to move over that existing page, I did it for them. It was PACSNL who requested the move, so you might want to discuss it with him. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Prodego ^talk 21:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Err, oops, wasn't thinking there. I fixed the talk page, thanks! Prodego ^talk 21:53, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I just saw that you were trying to have some reasonable conversations with this editor. Since you happen to have history with this person, can anything be done about it? Cleaning up ridiculous page moves and resultant redirects is a cumbersome task that we could do without. I've just had to do two of that today. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 17:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I have been trying to have reasonable conversations with him, and for a while it seemed to be making a difference. His edits had gotten to the point of "mostly harmless" at least, which was a big improvement from the disruptive moves etc. After you left your warnings, he actually requested to be blocked, although he then deleted the request. (The IP address is one of his; he's had rangeblocks before and I recognize it.) Blocks haven't been helpful because he just changes his name. Semi-protection slowed him down when he was editing fewer articles, but now that he's branched out it would be too many to protect. We could try a combination block on the username plus a rangeblock again if needed. But to be honest, I've been dealing with this guy for two months and I don't know what to do anymore. I thought I was finally making progress since I'd actually gotten him to respond to some messages, but now I feel like we're back to where we were in June with disruptive moves and copyright violations. Hopefully he is serious about not wanting to edit anymore. I'm all for assuming good faith, but I'm ready to give up on him now. I think GeorgeWilliamHerbert's idea of "convincing them to go away" is the only thing that is going to work. If you have any other ideas, I'm certainly open to them, but I'm stumped. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 18:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

No ideas here, except that one more disruption and another visit to ANI might be appropriate. The page moves were absurd, and addition of content on a couple of pages in the guise of copy editing was also absurd. It's just a waste of productive editors' time. cheers -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 01:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

It looks like he has stopped using his username, although I've seen some anonymous edits that look like him. If he persists in disruptive edits, you're right that another round with ANI may be in order. Let me know if you see anything blatant again (especially something like a threat of vandalism, which given his previous pattern of behavior should be his next step). WeisheitSuchen (talk) 02:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Noticed that your page was a vandalism magnet for the associated IPs yesterday, any action on that? -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 16:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The IP address doing most of the vandalism was blocked, and it only got hit once after that. Today he apologized for getting angry, which means at some level he realizes he screwed up. But the back and forth is crazy. I don't think I can report him when the last thing he did was apologize, so I'll wait until he does something again and take him back to ANI. I'm fed up with the drama. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 21:09, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Article Name Prob

Please your are an admin why don't you change the name of the article NIIT, you know quite well that the name of this article wrong so pls change it, i can't do myself since i'm not an admin.--For Loop (talk) 15:19, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not an admin. I don't have the ability to change it, as I've already explained. I'm also not convinced that if it's changed that you won't decide in another month to play a different game and change it back, and I'm tired of your drama. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 02:14, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually from my understanding, many of the parent churches of the United Church of Christ are United churches from Germany... which are really more Lutheran rather than Reformist (meaning from Calvinist theology). Others were Swedish Lutheran as well as Calvinist and Puritan. If I am not mistaken, the UCC it is a United church, not a Calvinist or Lutheran church but a union of both, with small ingredients from others. This is implied in many parts of the article repeatedly, which is why I added the Lutheran bit--to make the article 'agree' with itself. I also would assert that Congregationalist churches are different in different parts of the country. Where I am from, they look a lot more Lutheran than anything else, using Luther's catechism and Augsburg Confession.

Perhaps it would make more sense to delete Reformist in that line, rather than add Lutheran. United churches really are not just a sum of their histories, after all. They have their own unique theologies and histories. But I would argue, based on the history of the UCC and on the article itself that it would be more correct to assert it is both Calvinist and Lutheran, but I think it would take a good defense to leave in the assertion that it is 'mainly Reformist' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Biry0501 (talk • contribs) 06:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Show me the reliable external source that backs you up. So far I hear a lot of "my understanding," "If I am not mistaken," and "I also would assert." That's original research, and it's not acceptable here. Feel free to join the discussion on the article discussion page too. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 12:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Point well taken. It would have been simpler to say that the article didn't agree with itself, since the 'History' section discusses its Lutheran and Calvinist roots--though I concede that it is more Calvinist than Lutheran today. It was an editorial and not a research edit, but I am satisfied that the current edit is the most realistic and agrees with the rest of article. Biry0501 (talk) 12:06, 2 November 2009

Good, I'm glad we got to something everyone can agree on. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 21:28, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hi. Your name is so long it takes an hour to type out without mistakes. lol. [what does your name mean?] Ok, to the point now. Thanks for your comments. I replied on the discussion board, as well as wrote a few comments on the reliability board supporting your points. I think you're right that my words are over the line. I sent a small hopefully sweet apology to the discussion board of Makrand Joshi hoping she/he's ok with what's happened. Actually I had accused the editor of being an spa a couple of months back too as you must have noticed that it was only after that that the editor started editing other pages. But you're right -- by that yardstick even i would be an spa. lol. Let's hope we develop a better page. cheers Wireless Fidelity Class One (talk 04:25, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I think you are taking the right approach now. Obviously you two have some history, but that doesn't mean you can't start over and be productive together now. My name is two German words: Weisheit = wisdom, Suchen = search/seek. Ich suche Weiseheit = I seek wisdom. I hope you don't mind that I always use Wifione instead of how you sign your name; yours is too long for me! WeisheitSuchen (talk) 13:01, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

We had one philosopher when I graduated who used to use the words 'looking forward to learning from you' as a sign off message. Steve Jobs, in one Stanford convocation address, mentions that the guiding rule behind every day of his life has been to 'Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish', in other words, to continuously gain knowledge. I think your name is pretty similar to that. My wishes in your quest. Warm wishes Wireless Fidelity Class One (talk 04:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing to my attention the potential COI of my contribution. I have added my information to the "Author Disclosure" section. Do you feel this is sufficient to resolve the matter? George.joeckel (talk) 16:34, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
