From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would you please stop adding the category Category:German loanwords to articles in which it is inappropriate. I've reverted about a dozen of your errors in the last hour. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

See User talk:172.191.100.66, which I believe is the same person. Although an IP address, all the edits seem to have the same style. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The idea that a calque from German should be included in Category:German loanwords has previously been rejected. Any further attempts by you to reinsert that categorization ahall be considered vandalism. Please discuss the matter in Category talk:German loanwords, or in some other appropriate venue, before you reinsert them. Please consider this a level 2 warning. I do not wish to use the templated material because it's clear the poster doesn't understand English. 21:33, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeatedly adding all words with the character string LOG to the log article; repeatedly adding words which may be calques from German words which are clearly not German loanwords in any form, and redirects to Category:German loanwords; and adding alternate spellings of words with no basis in fact. To WP:AGF, I'm assuming he doesn't understand English. The alternative is that he is intentionally refusing to accept Wikipedia guidelines and WP:CfD results.. Please stop. You're welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "I UNDERSTAND ENGLISH PERFECTLY....I WAS BLOCKED FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN "Mistaken edits due to lack of understanding of English".... AND NOW THAT I AM BLOCKED VANDAL ARTHUR RUBIN HAS STARTED REVERTING ALL MY EDITS LIKE HE WANTS

  1. repeatedly adding all words with the character string LOG to the log article

   * THATS BECAUSE THEY ARE DERIVED TERMS USING THE WORD "LOG." INVALID REASON TO BLOCK ME!

  1. repeatedly adding words which may be calques from German words which are clearly not German loanwords in any form, and redirects to Category:German loanwords; and adding alternate spellings of words with no basis in fact.

   * I STOPPED DOING THOSE EDITS BEFORE I WAS BLOCKED. INVALID REASON TO BLOCK ME!


I SHOULD NOT BE BLOCKED."

Decline reason: "You were previously warned as another IP address that these edits were disruptive, yet have decided to persist with them. You've been previously warned for the same behavior under other IP addresses; so I'm not sure why you think this kind of behavior is acceptable. If you find yourself in an edit war, discuss it. A poor grasp of English is a very charitable interpretation of your actions, in my opinion. — Haemo 00:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.


  • Adding words (not terms) which may be calques from German into the category Category:German loanwords, in spite of the clear wording of the CfD result of Category:Calques from German
  • Adding words which are clearly not from German into that category.
  • Adding redirects to that category

LIAR!!!!! I STOPPED EDITING THOSE ARTICLES A LONG TIME BEFORE ANYONE COULD THINK THEY WERE A REASON FOR ME TO BE BLOCKED .... HIGHYL INVALID REASON TO BLOCK ME!

  • Adding all words which contain the character string "LOG" to the log article, even if not derived from the Greek.

LIAR AGAIN.... I ADDED ALL THE ONES DERIVED FROM THE GREEK AND IN TURN ALSO RELATED TO THE DERIVED ENGLISH WORD FROM GREEK!!!! HIGHYL INVALID REASON TO BLOCK ME!

  • Doing all of these after I've explained that I don't consider them accurate

THIS IS PROPAGANDA.... I DID NOT CONTINUE EDITING THEM!!!


Since you admit being the previous IP address, you should consider that you were warned against all the German-related edits under that IP. You continued now under this IP, so it's clearly continued. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
I forgot to add to the complaints, adding mysterious alternate spellings, such as in calque. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
However, if you'll agree not to do any of these incorrect edits again, and to use honest edit summaries, I'll consider reverting the block myself. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
To be fair, only the 3 types of German-related edits were done by the other IP; mysterious spelling changes and log are new to this incarnation. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
