I'm trying to work with yet another editor who blanks his page, not liking what he sees, I suppose. I seldom do that.

Anyway, odd you should come to me. I left a note for Elkevbo the other day that I agreed with him so much that I was concerned about replying on discussion pages for fear people would think I was his sockpuppet. He replied that he had been accused of that already himself! By you, apparently.

I frequently agree with him, as stated. Probably his edits as well. Elkevbo has been on "awhile." I suppose it is possible that he constructs sockpuppets. Stranger things have happened. I would find it hard to believe, though. He seems to me to be a responsible editor. Like I try to be. I may joke on a discussion page and sometimes put unpleasant sarcasm on edit summary lines that might have been better left out, in retrospect. But I do try.

You have to appreciate that he is, like me, a generalist, not an article-specific editor. He looks at many articles, some of the type I edit. Schools. So his opinions are gleaned, like mine, from seeing a lot of "stuff" and sometimes getting an idea of what an article should look like. Article-specific editors are the ones I would think would get so desperate as to use sockpuppets to grind their axe. More to the point - it's unlikely that he has developed a hatred for St. Johns or something. Whatever it looks like to you, he is trying to be objective. I think.

I eye-balled what I could of St. John University and superficially didn't seem to have any problem with Elkevbo's edits. My take is that material has to be germane, important, footnoted, long-term, that sort of thing. On WP:TOPIC. Some editors tend to wander sometimes.

I don't mind looking at something specific, but I have warned you that Elkevbo and I tend to see eye-to-eye. I guess you will just have to believe I am not a sockpuppet!  :) Or maybe check me out!  :) I would like to help make peace here if I can. Student7 (talk) 02:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I never thought you were a vandal. Obstreperous, maybe. Also there were edits under another IP, which seemed like inadvertent sockpuppets (done on random machines) to me/us. When I was looking for a block to force discussion, I did try to block one of the IPs, but maybe that was you. I didn't know. Because people disagree with you, it is easy to think of them as vandals. Since you weren't discussing, I wasn't totally sure. Student7 (talk) 02:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Sometimes, it helps to stand back and look at someone else. Take a look at Gospel of Luke. And NO, I'm not trying to get you involved! Too many cooks already! But now look at the edit history and those made by user RomanHistorian along with his comments on the discussion page, not a bad fellow and not a bad editor, but, well, see for yourself.

Well, I'm glad we got that straight! Whew! Student7 (talk) 02:15, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 03:19, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Your warning on my talk page

Count how many times I have reverted at St. John's University (New York). Two. Now read WP:3RR. Furthermore, don't template the regulars. Eagles 24/7 (C) 04:07, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 10 days for abuse of editing privileges, as you did at St. John's University (New York). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

When you do come back to edit, please read up on the policies and terms that you have misused today. You called an IP editor a "sockpuppet" multiple times without any evidence of sockpuppetry. Refer to WP:SOCK for more details on what is sockpuppetry and what is not. When you originally discussed the bold text at St. John's University (New York), you referenced Wikipedia's Bold Policy. However, WP:BOLD is about Wikipedia's encouragement of editors to edit articles if they see something wrong or if they want to add something constructive. Please see WP:3RR for Wikipedia's policy on the three-revert rule. When you templated me with a 3rr warning, you misused it because I had only reverted you twice. Had I reverted a third time (and if I was not a new user), you would be able to use the template. I hope this helps, and I hope things will not end up like this in the future.

Good for you - you're a big man to get me blocked because I disagree with you! I'll be back and I'll continue to revert your POV edits! Take a step back and try to be fair for a second. You're bolding 50 year-old information to try and give a commentary about the school's reputation and then you're removing notable quotes that came from a sitting president. I don't often hear Obama going to schools and calling it the "new Harvard." The information did not come from St. John's Web site, by the way, as it is not there. The citation used links to a collection of Reagan speeches. I'm trying to make things fair and I get blocked. CAtruthwatcher (talk) 04:33, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
