Since you haven't responded I have removed the copyvio. Please feel free to restore if this is an error and the text you posted was not un-free. [[User:Spartaz|Spartaz]] <sup>''[[User talk:Spartaz|Humbug!]]''</sup> 13:47, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


Deleting well referenced material as copyright violations is absolutely appalling.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/20101001#Instructions] Some of these "violations" are no more than one sentence!
== My Response ==


This fanaticism by these "self-appointed [copyright] guardians"[http://www.economist.com/printedition/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10789354] makes any prolific editor a target.
I've posted my thoughts in the ANI thread. To sum up: I see what you did as a bad idea, but not a violation of anything in specific. The sentiment seems to be that the indef block is excessive, even from some people you wouldn't normally count as fans, but I'm not going to take any action on it one way or the other. I expect that some totally uninvolved admin is probably going to look things over and demote the block to "time served" within the next few hours. Once that happens, we should have a serious conversation about how to best help newbies deal with Wikipolitics, too. For now, hope you're off taking a Wikibreak and de-stressing. If not, do so--the thread will absolutely be just fine without you. Cheers, [[User:Jclemens|Jclemens]] ([[User talk:Jclemens|talk]]) 17:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


== Concerned ==
== e-mail ==


If you're still picking yours up, I've sent you one. &nbsp;[[User:Pablo X|pablo]] 20:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm concerned that you seem to think I have some sort of vendetta against you. I don't. In general I am happy for AfD to lead to rapid improvement of articles and I'm on record as supporting its renaming to articles for ''discussion'', as we do for some other content areas; keep and delete have not been the only outcomes for a long time, after all. I don't think much of the whole business of pretending to be the Coastguard saving lives, most of the rescued articles are still marginal even after rescue, but that's just my own personal inclusion standards which I recognise are above the community norm. I am rather more concerned about giving poor advice to people whose behaviour needs modification, and ascribing motives where none exist. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 18:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Okip. I note that you did some good work with the Article Incubator when it was first set up, but then you stopped. I'm looking into the incubator as concerns have been raised about it so I'd be interested to learn why you stopped being involved, yet carried on with [[WP:RESCUE]]. What do you feel are the essential differences between the Incubator and Rescue, and why do you prefer to continue with Rescue but not Incubator? <span style="border: 1px #F10; background-color:cream;">'''[[User:SilkTork|<font face="Script MT" color="#1111AA" size="2">SilkTork</font>]]''' *[[User talk:SilkTork|<sup>YES!</sup>]]</span> 19:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Okip, this is a message from an [[Wikipedia:Bot|automated bot]], regarding [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/Contest/Box]]. You [[WP:BLANK|blanked]] the page and, since you are its sole author, FrescoBot has interpreted it as a request for deletion of the page and asked administrators to satisfy the requests per [[Wikipedia:CSD#G7|speedy deletion criterion G7]]. Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text {{tlx|db-author}}. <small>If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the {{tlx|db-author}} tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|recover]] deleted pages. Please do not contact the bot operator for issues not related with bot's behaviour. To opt out of these bot messages, add {{tlx|bots|deny{{=}}FrescoBot}} somewhere on your talk page.</small> -- [[User:FrescoBot|<span style="font:small-caps 1em Verdana;color:green">FrescoBot</span>]] ([[User talk:Basilicofresco|msg]]) 00:27, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I don't know you, but I just wanted to give some friendly advice that you might want to relax a bit with your edits to the ARS talk page. Your recent few edits seemed like they wouldn't do much but cause more drama, and came awfully close to uncivil personal attacks.

You're an established user, so I won't [[WP:DTTR|use a template message]] to say this, but you should know better than to make edits [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:AniMate&diff=prev&oldid=363433618 like this one]. Calling someone a 'pathetic liar' is a violation of our [[WP:NPA]] policy. I understand you've had conflicts with this user in the past, but in that case what you should do is disengage and just ignore them rather than further stoking the conflict. I recommend you concentrate on editing articles instead, and if you're feeling stressed, [[WP:BREAK|take a wikibreak]] rather than make an edit you'll later regret.

:::The first categorical difference is that one comment was made on Wikipedia, the other one was not. The second categorical difference is that Animate's Wikia comment was a ''conditional'': He said that A Nobody was "pathetic" if several conditions were fulfilled. We all know they were, but Animate did not claim that, thus he didn't even "call A Nobody pathetic" at Wikia. Whereas Okip ''did'', in fact, call Animate pathetic on Wikipedia, outright and went scot-free another time.

Okip - I personally am very sorry to see the outcome here, but after discussion at AN [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=527078669#Okip_socking here], it seems pretty obvious that the community has decided you need to take a break for a while. I ''strongly'' encourage you to read over the [[Wikipedia:Standard offer]] and plan on returning in the not too distant future. I've seen you do some wonderful things for the both ARS, and Wikipedia in general, and hope you'll weather this bump in the road. Best of luck to you in all. — <small><span style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>[[User:Ched|Ched]]</b> : [[User_talk:Ched|<font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#0000fa;">&nbsp;?&nbsp;</font>]]</span></small> 21:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 15:18, 29 June 2023

Deleting well referenced material as copyright violations is absolutely appalling.[1] Some of these "violations" are no more than one sentence!

This fanaticism by these "self-appointed [copyright] guardians"[2] makes any prolific editor a target.

Wikipedia:Article Incubator

Hi Okip. I note that you did some good work with the Article Incubator when it was first set up, but then you stopped. I'm looking into the incubator as concerns have been raised about it so I'd be interested to learn why you stopped being involved, yet carried on with WP:RESCUE. What do you feel are the essential differences between the Incubator and Rescue, and why do you prefer to continue with Rescue but not Incubator? SilkTork *YES! 19:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[]

Take it easy

Hi! I don't know you, but I just wanted to give some friendly advice that you might want to relax a bit with your edits to the ARS talk page. Your recent few edits seemed like they wouldn't do much but cause more drama, and came awfully close to uncivil personal attacks.

Reversion

3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

For the record, I have no interest in all in getting you blocked, but I don't see why you keep trying to stop a productive discussion for personal grudges.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:19, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[]

You were a significant contributor to the rescue template, so you were notified

Per section 3 of the guidelines when nominating a template for deletion/discussion, (Wikipedia:Templates for discussion), "it is considered civil to notify the creator and main contributors of the template that you are nominating the template." I simply notified a few users who contributed significantly to the template, per the revision history for the page— Located Here. User:Okip, you were a significant contributor to the template. There was no "canvassing", "selective canvassing", etc., and it is very inappropriate to insinuate such. I followed the instructions. Period. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[]

A notification that the Templates for Discussion discussion (oy, repetition) has been taken to a deletion review discussion. The Article Rescue Squadron was notified, and as notifications to previous involved parties isn't normal practise, I and a few ARS members agreed that, in the interests of transparency and fairness, we should let everyone know...hence this talkpage message ;).

If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds (talk) 10:31, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[]

A structural solution to good-faith deletion battles

Would you look over Wikipedia:Deletions and Openness and see what you think? I agree that civility is part of the problem, but I really think it will be easier to reverse this trend using software, rather than "excommunicating" the quality-control teams from the project. --HectorMoffet (talk) 08:02, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[]

The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

Please click HERE to participate.
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.


You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page. Steven Zhang DR goes to Wikimania! 11:27, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[]

Sockpuppetry

You have been
blocked from editing for a period of two weeks for abusing multiple accounts. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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.

I am also going to bring the matter of your multiple socks to the admin's noticeboard. If you wish to respond to the thread there, you can do so on this talk page and me (or another editor) will copy your comments over. — Coren (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]

Oh dear, Ikip/Okip, why you do this? I liked you as an editor. --Cyclopiatalk 15:38, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]
Was he blocked for evading a block with a multiple account or for malicious editing with a second account? A shame, he added some good content Jenova20 (email) 16:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]
As far as I know, he was not under any extant sanctions. The block is for participating in process (in particular, XfD) with multiple accounts which is not allowed since it compromises consensus. — Coren (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]
I see. That's a shame as i found User:Dragdrag to be a competent and friendly contributor. Hopefully he will learn from this and come back with a spring in his step. Thanks Jenova20 (email) 16:21, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]
You really ought not to have extended the block before the discussion was closed. No need as it still had weeks to run. Make's it look like the perma ban is a fait accompli. Appalling way to treat such a legendary editor as Okip. FeydHuxtable (talk)
Well, I agree an indef block looks more punitive than anything else (after all, how is an account block going to prevent socking?) but years of socking used to sway consensus are a very, very serious infraction. I hope Okip gets it and accepts a WP:OFFER. --Cyclopiatalk 22:10, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]
It wasn't "years of socking used to sway consensus". He had three sock accounts, one he just started last month, another he used for one day in the month before his latest one was created, and another that hasn't been used since 2009. If he had used any of them at the same time, then it would be a serious problem. Are we punishing him for something done over three years ago, or one of the more recent minor things? Indef ban seems rather harsh either way. Dream Focus 23:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[]
I don't know. I try not to reason in "friends vs foes" terms. I felt close to Okip as an editor, still socking is a very big no-no in my book. Also socking is a stupid thing to do, given that sooner or later, especially if you use it in controversial debates, you are going to be caught, and put yourself in deeper trouble. --Cyclopiatalk 09:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[]

Sorry to see this - but consensus says banned for now.

Okip - I personally am very sorry to see the outcome here, but after discussion at AN here, it seems pretty obvious that the community has decided you need to take a break for a while. I strongly encourage you to read over the Wikipedia:Standard offer and plan on returning in the not too distant future. I've seen you do some wonderful things for the both ARS, and Wikipedia in general, and hope you'll weather this bump in the road. Best of luck to you in all. — Ched :  ?  21:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[]

Agree with Ched, wholeheartedly. Hope to see you back soon -you did mistakes, but you can show you're a great editor again --Cyclopiatalk 21:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[]
I think its a block not a ban, small comfort I know but most people are arguing for a long break not a ban. Spartaz Humbug! 02:10, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[]
