in fact the summarizing did not contain any slant or OR on the original source. The material should be in there, whether it was "recent developement" or not. If you consider it redundant, please show me where else in the article the SEC is cited as plainly stating their rules for location and borrowing shares prior to short sales, that should legally prevent naked shorting from occuring. I haven't distorted your position, I could care less about your position. What I do know is that agressive blanking with different baseless reasons each time, and paired with a similar blanking from another editor that shows a similar patttern of editing on the article is a great way to bait someone into getting blocked for 3 reverts when they restore edits that have been blanked (not even attempted to modify) with progressively disingenuous reasons each time. Good faith is assumed until one is blanked on multiple occasions for bogus reasons. I am sorry if you feel this is a person attack, I don't know or care who you are so this isn't personal and is not an "attack". I can tell my wikicareer is going to short if I let people walk all over well sourced edits with a blank brush. Good day.

wikipedia edits had a history of abusive sockpuppeting (as disclosed by arbcom members themselves) -- and google searching revealed a conflict of interest on edits that they were arguing with me about. Conflict of interest page editors had no interest in pursuing that case, for some odd reason they couldn't seem to articulate. If someone can explain how I am a puppet of anykind, I'd like to see if spelled out in facts here, thanks in advance. It's going to be false, because the allegations of piperdown being a puppet on anyone's string are false. Looking at the editing history of the person that "blocked" me, I must say I'm not impressed if this person is representing Knowledge (XXG) in any authoritative way.

verified that I indeed had not done anything against the rules, motivated by little else than pride (seemingly). I do not have much sympathy for SlimVirgin either, after following some of her wiki "career" here. I wouldn't be surprised if she's lying and distorting the truth here and there when it comes to Sparkzilla's case, but matter of fact is, Sparkzilla is a "wikipedia bad guy" and he does deserve everything that's coming his way - he should be perfectly happy with the leniency offered to him through a topic ban, after all the stunts he has tried to pull off.

articles as possible and to bait people into doing something that gets them kicked off. Trouble is once someone is an admin or have been around a while it tends to get a bit orwell's animal farm (or in this case: 1984-esque with the possible deleting history to suit). It's taken me from a "wikipedia rocks" to "wikipedia is fundamentally broken while this abuse of the system continues". I can only hope that these abrasive editors get a clue and learn how wikipedia's supposed to work. And don't expect an apology, that wouldn't be

back e-rooms, serial abuse of this site, and the ineffective past attempts by an acknowleding arbcom to curb it, a bannable offense? That's not good. That sub-page was a list of wikipedia edits. There were no attacks by me, as none of those words were mine. It was as legitimate as any COI presentation on this site, even more so that the on-wiki outing of Mark Devlin (sparkzilla) and banning of him for his COI. How else is one to expose COI's ? It was no more a bannable offense than the COI'ed editor's "stalking" of me

like this even exists. And thanks for your characterization of me as an edit warrior. Knowledge (XXG) needs a lot of "edit warriors" on the hundreds of biography entries that are full of child pranks, vendetta vandalism, and vanity puff pieces. All married with links to websites trying to drum up business from vulturing off famous people. I look forward to improving wikipedia as a collection of accurate sources. Thanks for the lovely welcome, remember, self-projection is a difficult art to master.
681:). I outed Sparkzilla on the COI noticeboard - I showed he had an undisclosed conflict of interest, and that it was very likely he was either Mark Devlin himself or somehow affiliated with him. After realizing he couldn't bluff his way out of the extensive evidence I had posted (an admin, MangoJuice, told him to confess his affiliation), he confessed he indeed is Mark Devlin. The problems did unfortunately not cease there, as you might or might not be aware of. 582:
removing the references without prior discussion was a bad idea, because in this case, that blog is a crucial local reliable source. Many items are only available on his blog (particularly on legal analysis; he is a law professor). You could have started a discussion requesting me to removing redundant cases where the blog was repeating info in the print media, by the way, before deleting 50 or so references.

I would suggest that you discuss changes as big as those that you made prior to making the changes.

But edit 133916506 from SV's userpage just got wished away, and I got no apology for the time it was up there falsely accusing me of sockpuppetry, and no response about it since 5/27. I should stop expecting some of these people to change their behavior.

As related information (as I saw your post on Crum375's page thanks to that stupid auto watch list) crum375 and SlimVirgin do a lot of similar editing/tag reverting.

Crum375 is the only name on that userpage's deletion log since May 27th. The edit by SV was there a few days ago.

Again, what I did earlier today was to remove an edit by a troll with an anon IP. You are saying: "It was not my edit that was erased from wikihistory.

No, I haven't trolled anyone today or any other day.

Whatever. You seem pretty intent on including 50 redundant source cites from a blog. Expert? This isn't Watergate. The article is out of hand with citing from that blog where in almost every case there's already a cite from a newspaper. I'd hope you have no COI in citing that blog of an "expert" 50

If it's a blog, it's not "simply" a reliable source, unless the blog is used as a reference for Smith's own biography. Sorry, that's simply WP:RS policy. The blog was also used a redundant source in almost every case it was footnoted in a pair with a publication. That smacks of unneccessary blog

That was a long time ago, and if I cut it out it's because it probably didn't have a reliable source. Don't remember. Besides, I recall much of that information was to go in a stub page about music of manchester. That was way to much minutiae for the main manchester page, even if it did have a
