unblocked

I have unblocked you, please don't let us down. If you make any edit whatsoever to a biography of a living person, you must support that edit with a citation to a reliable source. If you get into a disagreement with someone, don't revert them, don't edit war but rather, come straight to me or another admin (or experienced editor) for help. Cheers and happy editing!

Jamaicans

Hey, I've further commented on this here. Gwen Gale (talk) 11:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fclass, I'm afraid I must ask you to stay away from edits having anything whatsoever to do with ethnicity, since you seem to be unable to cite reliable sources. If you make any more such edits, I will reblock you. Gwen Gale (talk) 13:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re

Even if his comment did have racist tones in it, actually going to his/her talkpage and explicitly stating "you are a racist" further exaggerates the situation. If you see someone doing that in the future, report to WP:AIV if they are clearly promoting a particular viewpoint–if it's more complex involve an outside party to look or start a new ANI discussion if several parties are involved. Kind regards, D.M.N. (talk) 16:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, come on, Gwen Gale. I had a lapse in judgment. I admitted it was over the top and out of line. Fclass (talk) 21:58, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Wikipedia is not for you

Only hours after I unblocked you, you tried to rename and edit war at Afro-Jamaican with no sourcing support at all. I then said if you made any more edits having to do with ethnicity I would reblock you. Only hours later, I had a complaint on my talk page about this edit. Moreover, when you were caught with your latest sockpuppet User:Oldnew you said, I did not attack anybody. I just want to edit in peace which stirred me to see what would happen if you were unblocked. The outcome has not been helpful to Wikipedia and I have reblocked this account. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for renewed disruption and personal attacks within hours after you were unblocked. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Auto_Racing_Fan. Gwen Gale (talk) 01:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, I wasn't thinking when I edited that page. When I saw the comment that person made, I wanted to confront that person for making that ridiculous comment. As I said to D.M.N., it was out of line. And yes, I still want to edit in peace. Fclass (talk) 22:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. Fclass (talk) 22:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You put me in a very tough spot Fclass. I want to help you, but you keep letting us down. What do you think I should do? Gwen Gale (talk) 22:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's your call. Fclass (talk) 22:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked for input from User:Malik Shabazz. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have anything helpful to say. I had hoped that Fclass had cooled off during the block and I was looking forward to working with Fclass, but based solely on the messages above it looks like he/she still doesn't "play well with others". — [[::User:Malik Shabazz|Malik Shabazz]] ([[::User talk:Malik Shabazz|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Malik Shabazz|contribs]]) 23:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Fclass, when it comes to getting along with others, nobody wants to waste time dealing with an editor who can't get along more or less by themselves, hence the notion of indefinite blocks. Some folks are more than ok as people but can't get the hang of editing Wikipedia without causing kerfuffles. Moreover, I've seldom seen mentorship lead to a happy outcome. Ok then, please read WP:V and in your own words tell me what you think it means. Thanks. Gwen Gale (talk) 23:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Verifiability means providing accurate sources that proves something. It doesn't mean one's own truth or belief. Fclass (talk) 23:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Close, but it doesn't prove anything, other than showing that it was published somewhere in a reliable source, which means it can likely be put into an article. Wikipedia is not truth (though we can hope), Wikipedia is not an outlet for our own original research. Now please put up with me for one more, look at WP:Civil and tell me what you think that's about. Gwen Gale (talk) 23:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It means civility is required for all editors in order to maintain peace and to have articles edited in a peaceful manner. If someone is not civil, the person be warned or blocked. Fclass (talk) 23:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've reset your block to 48 hours. Personal attacks and edit warring (never mind over unsourced original research) are against the rules here. Please use this time to carefully read, understand and adapt to the policies laid out in Wikipedia:Five pillars. If for whatever reason you can't follow the rules, don't edit here. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It still says indefinitely. Fclass (talk) 00:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your block log tells the tale. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How are you today, Gwen Gale? Fclass (talk) 19:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm ok thanks, how are you? Gwen Gale (talk) 19:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm great. Is that 48 hour block still in effect? Fclass (talk) 19:24, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You'll be able to edit again in about 29 hours. If you're looking for something to do, you might have a look at Wikipedia:Five pillars. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:40, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question to ask you. Don't this as anything else but a question. How come Mcelite is never blocked? That person adds bogus data that is non-refutable or based on hearsay about a person's heritage. Fclass (talk) 00:27, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? Mcelite has been blocked many times. I find it worrisome that you make so many unfounded assertions. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about blocking Mcelite indefinitely? Fclass (talk) 00:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly suggest you stay away from Mcelite, or your indefinte block will most likely be re-instated. Rather, you might spend more time thinking about how you can helpfully edit within the bounds of policy (see Wikipedia:Five pillars). Gwen Gale (talk) 00:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You know what, Gwen Gale? I don't know how our paths got crossed, but I like you ;). You are a woman, right? Fclass (talk) 00:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how Gwen Gale will feel about it, but I think maybe your comment is inappropriate. You might want to delete or change it before Gwen Gale sees it. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 00:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Too late. Fclass, this is the kind of thing that gets you blocked without end. There's a knack to doing stuff here. Sometimes I don't think you have it, hence the title of this section. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:52, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) By the way, Fclass, I'm not an administrator; but I'm interested to know whether you read my essay User:Coppertwig/Techniques for handling emotions when editing and what you think of it. Above, you said "I wasn't thinking when I edited that page." If you edit without thinking, you will probably be blocked. You can use self-control and techniques such as the ones I describe in that essay. You can develop a habit of always stopping and thinking before clicking "Save page". ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 00:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read your essay. Fclass (talk) 01:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great! What did you think of it?

Gwen Gale apparently agreed with me that your comment was inappropriate. What can you do about that now? ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 01:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You made good points that made sense. Why did you make that essay in the first place? Fclass (talk) 01:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was some time ago, so it's hard to remember the exact circumstances. However, I've often found situations where I wanted to give the link to that essay to someone. I hope it's helped people. I use those techniques myself, and they work, though they take effort. I also have this essay: User:Coppertwig/Unblocking about how to request unblocking, although the second section is off-topic, and it's largely redundant with the page linked to at the bottom of it.

I like to try to contribute to overall improvement in the level of civility on Wikipedia, to make a pleasant environment where people cooperate with each other. There's a reason why we're here. What are your main goals in editing Wikipedia? And what about that comment to Gwen Gale? ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 01:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I edit to present an accurate detail of what an article is about. As for the comment, if Gwen Gale was offended, I apologize. Fclass (talk) 01:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good goal; however, it may not be exactly in line with how Wikipedia works. Different people have different ideas about what's accurate. The neutral point of view policy is designed to prevent problems that can arise as a result of people with different beliefs interacting here. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 01:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may remember, Fclass, when I asked you to read WP:V. The pith is, Wikipedia is not about "truth" (although many of us indeed have our hopes along those lines and want to help readers), it's about reliable sources. This also means that sometimes, an article can carry two or more takes on a topic (PoVs) which don't even agree with each other, so long as all of them are supported by citations as having been published by third party, reliable sources. Until you can make that shift in your thinking, you may stumble here. Gwen Gale (talk) 08:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LAX - The Game

Hi. Welcome back.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the album, and I don't know where one would find the release history. Have you tried asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hip hop? — [[::User:Malik Shabazz|Malik Shabazz]] ([[::User talk:Malik Shabazz|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Malik Shabazz|contribs]]) 20:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back, Fclass. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 01:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thunderhill

I can't do it now as I am way behind on my blog and am losing readership. Perhaps when I catch up… Long term? It would help if the article had coordinates. I might have enough information to track it down, but Google Earth must have hi-res imagery there or I will pass like I had to do last week with Spa (which was close). Will (Talk - contribs) 20:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Hey.

I'm sorry, but what article are you requesting this on? --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 14:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there are reliable sources showing the release dates of the album in different countries on different dates, I would add a section, but if reliable sources cannot be found, I personally will not add such a section. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 14:43, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've never stated ownership of that article. And I am offended that you've made such assumptions. I am just stating that you have asked a section to be added, and I am replying that if sources cannot be provided I will not add such a section. If you have sources and would like to, I encourage you, but if sources are not added it can all be classified as original research. I would add an unreferenced tag at the top of the section, and within an amount of time, if sources were not provided, I, or a fellow editor, would delete the section, as it has no substance, on which Wikipedia is based. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 14:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought, but compare African American (39 million) and Afro-Brazilian (12.9 million). — [[::User:Malik Shabazz|Malik Shabazz]] ([[::User talk:Malik Shabazz|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Malik Shabazz|contribs]]) 02:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Cool down. Nobody said anything about being smarter than you.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I also see the chart at African diaspora#Top 12 African Diaspora populations.

PS: The fact that Brazil is 49% Black vs. 13% in the US doesn't mean anything. It's the raw numbers of Black people that are significant.

Re: Road America

It's already scheduled. Should happen by this weekend. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If I can figure out the route (mainly where the pits are), I expect to do the Singapore street circuit that Formula 1 will use Sunday. I am working on a major update to my Miller Motorsports Park map. That was one of the first maps I did. It should end up looking more like my modern stuff. Will (Talk - contribs) 01:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You talking about Image:Singapore street circuit v2.svg? It doesn't have much information on it. Will (Talk - contribs) 14:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like pit road and turn numbers? I don't see them. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out that Road America's event is next weekend, not this weekend. If I do it earlier, it would be because I needed something to do. As for editing an existing SVG, it can be done. However, it is my experience, even when updating one of my older images, that starting over is better. With Miller, I did start over except for a legend that only Google Earth users saw previously. (I may not even keep that. I am debating dividing the image up into 4 and eliminating the need for the legend.) Also, the best way to determine how accurate an map is would be to make it into an overlay. Google Earth doesn't yet offer direct support for SVG, but the description page on Commons will provide you with a PNG that GE knows how to display. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You wouldn't know the difference. The first step I would take would be to delete the contents. Sure, the filename would be the same. But that is it. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. But Commons won't ever delete anything that isn't a copyvio. Even if the image is a low quality GIF with no uses. Will (Talk - contribs) 21:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore will need to wait until next year anyway. After further review of the course, it was still understand construction when the latest image in Google Earth was taken. It doesn't help that a cloud obscures part of the course.

What?

You do understand the concept of what a support category is? They support the major event. The Australian Grand Prix is a Formula 1 event, and at every other meeting V8 Supercar goes to they are the major event, even at the Gold Coast Indy they are co-major, but not at the Formula 1 Grand Prix. It's that simple. --Falcadore (talk) 01:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

See the little red 'V' in the top left corner of the V8 Supercar Tracks template? Red means it does not work. It used to work fine. Please stop making errors I have to clean up. --Falcadore (talk) 23:12, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted my change and re-instated the red - what was I supposed to think? Don't disrespect someone automatically because they revert your change. Tjhey may have actual good reason for it. The problem is the 'name=' criteria which you changed from V8 Supercar Tracks to v8 supercars tracks. That criteria has to match the actual name of the template. You obviously did not know that so how do I know what level to talk to you at? --Falcadore (talk) 23:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: flag GIF for Hanover in a protected template

I am not a sys-op and can't do anything about it by myself. However, I did ask via IRC about it. Hopefully someone will get it fixed. Next time, you might try #wikipedia-en. If you go there, you should register your nick with "/msg nickserv REGISTER password". Then, when you connect, enter "/msg nickserv IDENTIFY password". If you use Firefox, there is a extension you can install called ChatZilla which can help with some of that. For more about that, you might ask at [irc.//irc.mozilla.org/chatzilla #Chatzillla].

a warning

I very much do not want to put you under an indefinite block again. However, your edits have lately grown ever more disruptive and time-wasting to the project. You can't be unblocked and then drift back into your old editing habits as if nothing happened. You have broken most of your earlier promises to refrain from personal attacks and follow the rules. If you can't follow them, then you aren't ready to edit Wikipedia. Hence, this is more or less your last warning. If you make another personal attack I'll block you indefinitely straight off and there will likely be a community ban, with no coming back under any account for a long time. If you make any disruptive, time-wasting edits, such as needlessly posting to administrative noticeboards or badgering editors on their talk pages to delete articles or images rather than following deletion policy, I will block you again for a short time, or block you indefinitely. Wikipedia isn't for everyone and you can't make up your own rules as you go along. Read the policies. Thoroughly, please. It's up to you to show you can abide by the rules and not draw attention to yourself by breaking them. I do wish you all the best. Gwen Gale (talk) 11:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, if a racist person comes to my talk page and calls me names, I'm not supposed to confront that person? This is a question. Take it as a question only. Fclass (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide us a diff of someone calling you names.

Either way, assume good faith. What you think is racism may only be another way of talking or thinking about something, with no hatred or disdain meant at all. Likewise with your notions of self-hate (which is not straightforward racism). Besides, who are you to think you know, understand or can comment on someone else's inner feelings about themselves based on some edits they've made to Wikipedia? If someone calls you names, no, you can't attack them back. Never comment on an editor, comment only on edits and sources. Yes, it's ok to say positive things to other editors but truth be told, if you do it too much, editors might become wary of you. Meanwhile I've blocked a few racist editors. They're easy to spot and they get banned quick here, for disruption. But Fclass most steady editors on en.Wikipedia grok all this stuff either straight off or very fast. So this is my last tome in this tale. Take it from me, the community has grown weary of your antics and I've grown weary of them too. You've said time and again you wouldn't make personal attacks so it is beyond me why you even bother to ask a question which hints that a personal attack is ok if someone has called you names. It's never ok. Ok? Shape up or don't edit here. A ban is swiftly headed your way and the only way to dodge it is to get with the policies. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:35, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Taupo and Road Amercia

Taupo has a new image. (The existing one was actually stolen from the official site and has since been cropped to include just the logo by an admin.) I am going to work on Taupo's KMZ set next. Then it will be off to Road America unless you have something quick first. When possible, I like to push out updates before an event at a track. So unless I end up needing more information for Road America, I want to do it before the event there this weekend. Will (Talk - contribs) 23:49, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later. I don't see is as a priority. Users can get Track 2 & 3 from my KMZ set (see my blog). As noted in that, if I don't see the pavement, I don't do it. That was the problem with Track 1 and some apparent changes to the Turn 10 area. Will (Talk - contribs) 02:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

blocked

I warned you 2 weeks ago not to badger editors on their talk pages to delete images outside of deletion policy, but here you've done it again. Moreover, after promising not to make personal attacks I don't know how many times, you did it again yesterday (I didn't block you for that because you were baited but nonetheless, by making that personal attack you broke your promise yet again). Time and again, you have slipped back into your old, disruptive ways. I have blocked you indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because I think you've shown you are either unable or unwilling to match your behaviour to the policies of this private website. There are many ways to express yourself and follow your interests on the Internet. You seem to have many worthy qualities but unhappily, I believe Wikipedia is not for you at this time. You might want to think about starting a blog or another kind of website of your own, which you can edit as you please. I do wish you all the best.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for ongoing disruptive edits. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Surfer's Paradise and Grand Prix of Cleveland

I haven't looked at Surfer's Paradise in GE to figure out what I have. However, I do want to add it before the October 26 IRL race there. The Cleveland track could provide to be more challenging. Street track are at best temporary. Unless I can watch a race, I have to look for clues like pavement patches and racing curbs. If Cleveland's track is no longer used, such clues might be gone.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

On being blocked

Hi Fclass, you're indef-blocked right now, so obviously you did -something- wrong - agreed? :) Can you describe what you think you've done wrong that would get you to this position? And since you've apparently already promised to change in order to be unblocked - what did you promise, and what did you fail to change?

Are there any new changes you could think of? Are there any new reasons people here should believe you'll change your approach? The normal state for a Wikipedia editor is to be unblocked (and using only one account) - so how can we all get back to normal?

It's all up to you. You are obviously enthusiastic about editing here. How do we get you editing happily alongside everyone else? Franamax (talk) 07:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All I did was ask Gwen Gale a question. Fclass (talk) 13:35, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to erase my userpage and add "temporary Wikipedian userpages" and "This user is blocked..." Don't forget that. Fclass (talk) 23:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
