Bad Crafty![edit]
In Which Crafty is Scolded for Using the Eff Word in an AfD
|
---|
Crafty, I was alerted to this comment of yours. Since I unblocked you, I take some responsibility for your subsequent behavior, and I don't want to see foul language. Now, I think you're kidding around, but be careful ... not everyone gets it that way, and an AfD can be fraught enough without needlessly raising the temperature.

Apparent edit conflict at WT:AC/N[edit]
In Which Franamax and Crafty Sort Shit Out |

Hi Crafty, could I have your urgent attention to this edit I've made. It looked like you'd inadvertently edit conflicted with Will Beback's post and I was trying to fix things up. But edits are proceeding apace there, my bad for assuming I had even a few seconds to get it all straight! Anyway, I just want to be sure that you know that your comment is currently hovering out in space somewhere, and I was real honest trying to sort it out but it may be a little messed up now! :( Franamax (talk) 06:27, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Mutual Appreciation |

You're welcome. I perfectly agree with your assessment of the situation. I hope my comments to Porch will be well received. I know my comments were a bit stern (not too much I hope), but I felt that I needed to be pretty serious given the potential negative implications of his actions. Biting new editors discourages them from staying and continuing to contribute to the project. Users like Voodoobug can potentially be higly productive good editors in the future if we treat them well and help them to be better wikipedians.Plumadesabiduría (talk) 02:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC) |

I didn't get a chance to chime in at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 October 18#Colorado balloon incident (closed) but if I did, I would've endorsed the closure as a stellar example of following the processes and procedures on this page. Yes, it was out of process, and yes, by doing this he opened himself up to being burned at the stake for making a mistake. However, his actions were approved resoundingly by acclaimantion, both in the DRV and on his talk page with the barnstar and follow-on endorsements of the barnstar. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:28, 19 October 2009 (UTC) |

Your comment means a lot to me. When I first saw the two articles I felt like just quiting - I can't be a part of a project that gives a soap-box to anti-Semites. I am gratified many hav voted to delete his articles but still like you disappointed by the apparently large numbers of people who see anti-Semisism as just another "point of view" we have to represent. I don't know what more tio di, i wish we had more editors like you around! Slrubenstein | Talk 22:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks again. One admin closed down the AfD on "misuse of anti-Semitic accusations" - and then DGG (an editor for whom I usually have the utmost respect) left this comment [7] Appropriate or not, his insisting that his view of those with whom he disagrees - e.g. me - is the correct view is a real refusal to assume good faith. I am sure that his vote to keep the article was made in good faith. Why can't my vote to delete it be in good faith? I don't think DGG is an anti-Semite but I think this is one example of how good Wikipedians in good faith can really misread the issue. But I havde to admit, it is th implied refusal to assume good faith on my part that really gnaws at me .... Slrubenstein | Talk 10:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
I recognise that extremists, fanatics and bigots of many kinds - Christian Right, Neo-Nazis, Islamic extremists, Anti-Zionists - wish to talk up the idea of Jewish control of Hollywood/the Media/the World, but I still hold that the topic of 'Jews and Hollywood' is notable and can be written about neutrally, in particular due to the existence of mainstream sources covering the topic in depth. Does this make you think that I am an antisemite? I'm not insistent on the need for an article on Jews and Hollywood, but there is certainly room in Antisemitic canard for material on the accusation, and in American Jews for content about the actual history of Jewish people in the US film industry. The deletion review was opened due to the closer failing to give a rationale for their decision on a long and complex debate, not because Equazcion couldn't face losing the argument. If it did actually make you feel sick, you may need to find ways to avoid becoming too emotionally invested in debates on Wikipedia. I'd not have opened the deletion review myself - I took my complaint directly to Coffee to be met with intransigence - but it is really a 'point of order' rather than a genuine attempt to overturn the result. We need to be able to write and discuss articles on sensitive topics without accusing each other of racism without good evidence, even though there will be some bona fide racists around. Race and crime in the United States is another article where editors need to be robust without mudslinging. I recently came across the poorly written Immigrant criminality, which is currently a gift to anti-immigration campaigners, but I'd not call the author User:Dbachmann a racist: but what if such an article was about "Jewish criminality"?

Robert K S[edit]
I don't want him blocked unless it escalates. If he continues to edit-war with me even after my discussion of the matter on the talk page (I always stop at three), and if he continues to edit-war on every article he touches (as has been the case in the past), and if he continues to make blatantly false accusations about me and/or other editors (he's accused me at least twice of having some sort of vendetta against game show articles, Jeopardy! in particular), then maybe. It's not just about his edit-warring with me, but about his edit-warring with others in general. He has a history of edit-warring dating back at least a couple years, and all I really want him is to understand that his constant snippy demeanor, blatantly false accusations and blind reversion of content are detrimental.

Inflammatory commentary[edit]
In Which Crafty Rises Above the Common Fray |
---|
Crafty, it was unseemly to state that "The number and vehemance of the anti-semitic apologists in this discussion is appalling" - inflammatory commentary adds heat to a discussion, not light. Whether you were intentionally trying to get a rise out of users who disagreed with you, or whether you are genuinely unable to see the problem with that, I'm really not sure at this point. Consider this a reminder that giving the impression that other editors hold views they do not hold, or attempting to malign them, is uncivil and unacceptable conduct. There is no problem with having strong views about a subject's conduct during a discussion, and indeed, that user alone is responsible for much of what happens to them, which is what your latest comment indicates. But that does not excuse the fact, or give you the license to broadly call others who have differing opinions as "anti-semitic apologists". Wikidemon (talk · contribs) had also noted that it was uncalled, and that this was a discussion, not a riot. I'm going to presume this was a one-off incident, and sincerely hope that you will take the time to reflect on your approach, rather than insisting it was appropriate at that point of the discussion, when frankly, it was not.

- Actually I believe I changed it from "article" to read "page". As for it being a cunt, have you read the page in question? Crafty (talk) 20:39, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- Nope. I skimmed the intro, but it didn't seem like a good use of my time to read the whole thing. Regardless of whether it is a cunt or not, there's a certain level of decorum expected at public deletion discussions.

Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki! HJMitchell You rang? 20:32, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

In Which Crafty Suffers a Brace of Tits |

Hey, Crafty. I noticed your comment at MichaelQSchmidt's RFA; I'm here not because I disagree with you, but because the tone of the RFA is already spiralling out of control and using the term "Inclusionist Taliban" might just make people even hotter under the collar. Any chance you'd consider striking or replacing that part? The last thing the page needs is someone getting annoyed with you on that, then someone else challenging their comment and ... blah blah blah. I don't think I need to spell out what happens after that; you know how things work around here. :-) All the best, Steve T • C 21:12, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Observoz @ Tony Abbott[edit]
Hello there. Could you please explain why Observoz's edits to Tony Abbott and Talk:Tony Abbot are vandalism? You may not agree with his article edit - and you can change it. But you cannot remove good faith talk page additions citing them as vandalism. I've restored Observoz's edits, pending an explanation from you. regards --Merbabu (talk) 09:42, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- Eat me. Crafty (talk) 10:57, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --Merbabu (talk) 11:42, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Blocked[edit]
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Nick-D (talk) 11:46, 27 May 2010 (UTC)- Relevant diffs are [17] in which you reverted what appear to be good faith edits as 'vandalism' and [18] in which you also reverted a perfectly acceptable talk page post by the same editor as 'vandalism', [19] in which you also reverted what appears to be an OK edit as 'vandalism' and the following abusive comments: [20], [21] (in the edit summary) and [22] (response to being asked why you'd labeled the edits to the Tony Abbott article vandalism). The length of the block has been set in recognition of your previous indefinite block for disruptive editing and the above warnings for this kind of uncivil conduct. Nick-D (talk) 11:46, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Naughty boy. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:39, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
LOL! Nice work![edit]
Good to see you're being justly regarded with contempt by people who actually care about Wikipedia quality. Thanks for the note on my talk page. Want to go for zero? Cy Q. Faunce (talk) 14:32, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
May 2010[edit]
Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on Portia de Rossi. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. This is not vandalism. — Bdb484 (talk) 14:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
