[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Oshwah|Oshwah]]. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of [[Special:Contributions/2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|your recent contributions]] —the one you made with <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATimothy%20Leary&diff=713120681 this edit]</span> to [[:Talk:Timothy Leary]]— because it appeared to be uncivil towards another editor. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Oshwah|my talk page]]. Thanks. <!-- Template:Huggle/warn-1 --><!-- Template:uw-vandalism1 -->[[User:Oshwah|<b><span style="color:#C00000">~Oshwah~</span></b>]]<sup><small><b>[[User_talk:Oshwah|<span style="color:blue">(talk)</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Oshwah|<span style="color:green">(contribs)</span>]]</b></small></sup> 01:58, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |

IP editor, you're new, so I know you're just learning what you can and cannot do here on WP. But FKC is correct, that you cannot call people names or make what we refer to as personal attacks. You have to find some other way to state your views within the guidelines. To avoid a block, I recommend you acknowledge that you now realize your remarks were unhelpful and you will not do it again.

I probably spent a half hour typing a response and I wasn't even able to send it, oh well :). I really don't care whether i'm banned or not, somebody had to say what I said. I don't care how the rules are being interpreted calling someone a hypocrite when that person is being hypocritical is only criticism not a "personal attack". FKC accuses people of breaking the rules for the most trivial and mundane reasons such as simple disagreemeent or criticism of his bureaucratic authoritarian style of editing. After 6 days it gets really old.[[Special:Contributions/2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B]] ([[User talk:2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B#top|talk]]) 05:10, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |

:I completely understand your frustration. Most of the time, it's a lot of fun to contribute here on WP. Most of the time, the debates are pretty good-natured and you can expect that when you present your sources and they conform to the guidelines, other editors will graciously concede, just as they would expect you to do if the situation were reversed. We all like being right but more important here is maintaining a collegial and structured environment where we can all cooperate on an interesting intellectual project focusing on reporting only just exactly what we can document according to our guidelines. I think it's fun, I enjoy doing this, I learn something every day, I really love the intellectual honesty you see most of the time. I think you will like it, too, and I hope you don't give up on the project. |
|||
:The problem, as you've discovered, is that not everyone is so nice or quite so ready to give up their ego. The thing to watch out for, especially when you're new, is getting into a fight with actually likes fighting and has been boning up for years on how to do it and stay just within the lines, provoking you into technical mistakes that he knows to avoid. FKC has almost [https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=FreeKnowledgeCreator&project=en.wikipedia.org 41K edits] and he's pushed the envelope before as you can see on his [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AFreeKnowledgeCreator block log]. He knows ''exactly'' what he can get away with and he knows you don't and he wants you out. His strategy is to try to get under your skin and cause you to make a mistake. Please don't take the bait. |
|||
:FKC isn't going to win this. There is no way that with 7 [[WP:RS]] identifying Leary as a philosopher that he possibly keep that out of the article. Worst case, it will take a while to resolve, perhaps with a trip the [[WP:RSN]] or something like that. The ONLY way FKC can win is by provoking everyone else into mistakes, where the biggest mistakes are violating [[WP:3RR]] and letting someone annoy you to the point that you give them a piece of your mind in some way that you can't do here. I don't have anywhere near as many edits as FKC but I have enough that he's not going to trip me up and [[User:OpenFuture|OpenFuture]] obviously knows his way around as well and FKC won't trip him up, either. Please don't let him trip you. |
|||
:I really do care that new editors should get a welcoming experience and I'm sorry you did not get that. I hope you will stay around. It isn't always like this. I hope this helps. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 18:07, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |

Thank you, you have been extremely helpful.[[Special:Contributions/2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B]] ([[User talk:2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B#top|talk]]) 18:35, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:Then perhaps you'll trust me enough to reconsider my suggestion. You never have to apologize for your opinions here on WP. You are allowed to think whatever you like about another editor. You just can't post every opinion. What I suggest is that you add a simple post to the [[WP:ANI]] thread stating that as a new editor, you simply didn't appreciate the significance of our guidelines defining what is or is not a personal attack. But you've now read [[WP:NPA]] and you intend to follow it carefully. (Or pick your own words.) The moment you say you won't do it again, they CANNOT block you — until and unless you do it again. (This is how the rules work, okay?) And then trust me some more that this will resolve. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 18:59, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:Thought I'd add that most of the time, you can really let someone know what you think, you just have to choose your words to get it in under our guidelines. There's a bit of a game here if you're at all into language and semantics. For example, you can't say, "You're stupid." But you can say, "Every argument you've offered is stupid and here's why ...". You can't say, "You're a hypocrite." But you can say, "Your complaint is hypocritical because you've been doing the same thing." You can't say, "You lied." But you can say, "Every claim you've made is false." You can go right up to but you simply cannot cross the line into characterizing the person who you believe has made stupid arguments, hypocritical complaints or false claims. But most people will probably figure out what you're really thinking anyway. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 20:16, 2 April 2016 (UTC) |

I understand and agree with what your saying, but by the time I read your reply I was already blocked.[[Special:Contributions/2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B]] ([[User talk:2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B#top|talk]]) 00:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC) |

:Okay, it's too late to avoid a block but not too late to get unblocked and move on. Please read the page at [[WP:GAB]] and then post a short statement using the [[template:unblock|<nowiki>{{unblock}}</nowiki>]] template explaining that you are new, you did not appreciate the significance of the rules, you have since read [[WP:NPA]] (and be sure you have), you now recognize that your posts failed to comply with the guidelines but that you are committed to following them in the future (and then be sure you do follow them.) Do not argue about whether the block was deserved or whether "he started it"; realistically, that never works and nobody cares. Stay on topic that you've been blocked for personal attacks and concede they have the goods on you because they do. |
|||
:Blocks are to meant to stop bad behavior but are not supposed to be punitive. If you are clear in your intent to follow the rules, they are are supposed to unblock you upon request. Please note that no matter what anyone says, you do not have to actually apologize. You are entitled to your opinion. No one can demand that you say you're "sorry" (especially as that's probably not even true), only that you realize why your posts did not comply with the guidelines and that you promise to comply in the future.

You never got welcomed and you should have been. But also, there's a really good suggestion in this template that you create an account.

I never asked you to defend me, but after seeing just how bureaucratic wikipedia is, I really stopped caring whether I get banned or not. It's not surprising that wikipedia puts administrative procedure above honesty and common sense. 2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B]] ([[User talk:2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B#top|talk]]) 03:43, 3 April 2016 (UTC) |

Wikipedia doesn't have much common sense if it considers accusing someone of hypocrisy to be a "personal attack". [[Special:Contributions/2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B]] ([[User talk:2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B#top|talk]]) 04:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:"Hypocrite" is mild and alone wouldn't warrant action, though it's better not to make such comments. "WikiPedant" is insulting and shows an obvious lack of respect for the other editor - name-calling is unnecessary. "Fucking moron"... I don't need to explain. Whatever the rights and wrongs of your other points, insulting and belittling other editors is not OK and no amount of complaining about bureaucracy is going to change that. We don't need to be sweetness and light the whole time, but if you're willing to at least toe the line of [[WP:NPA]] and [[WP:CIVIL]] then you'll get on better. [[User:Fences and windows|<span style="background-color:white; color:red;">Fences</span>]]<span style="background-color:white; color:#808080;">&</span>[[User talk:Fences and windows|<span style="background-color:white; color:black;">Windows</span>]] 15:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC) |

What does WikiPedant have to do with me being blocked from wikipedia? WikiPedant is another editor's username. I deleted cited information saying Timothy Leary was fired from harvard for the controversy surrounding his psilocybin experiments and the fact that psychedelic drugs like LSD were becoming so widely used on campus. This a common misconception as Richard Alpert was the only one to be fired and Leary quit soon after. Timothy Leary would later have the press believe that he was too was also fired because he thought it would add to his rebel image. WikiPedant reverted my edit after I forgot to explain my changes to the article, so I reverted WikiPedant's revert and explained my changes. WikiPedant informed me that annonymous claims wouldn't suffice and that I would have to support my claim with a new cited source, which i'm unable to do. I havn't made any changes to the article sense.[[Special:Contributions/2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B|2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B]] ([[User talk:2605:A000:1200:600F:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B#top|talk]]) 16:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC) |

Of course a bureaucratic institution such as wikipedia would consider saying someone is excessively concerned with minor details and rules to be a disrespectfull insult and a "personal attack".
