Trump tweet[edit]

Heads up – Trump just tweeted about your latest edit to Matthew W. Brann. It has since been reverted and restored with better wording, but I thought you should know. – bradv🍁 05:40, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Electoral Count Act have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. I have reverted this edit. I see no support for the assertion in the source cited, and your characterization of such certificates as "counterfeit " is both inaccurate WP:POV. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 14:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even worse POV edits have been made by you on Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. This is deeply concerning behaviour. I urge you to not make any edits that are likely to be reverted for neutrality purposes. Onetwothreeip (talk) 22:15, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here we go: I did not violate the biographies of living persons policy. True, I was less than civil when it came to the edit on Talk:Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. I did not say anything that wasn't verified by reliable media.

Yes, I know that in the past I have been falsely accused of being disruptive. These have to do with previous articles in the series. The first was about where to put the perennial hobbyist Rocky de la Fuente in the Results of the 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries. The fellow had gotten on the ballots in enough states to make him 'major candidate' and So I put him on the chart separately. A protracted argument followed, and It was eventually decided in my favor. Then there was a kerfuffle about a photograph of President-elect Biden, who hadn't gotten the title yet. The photo was changed from a decent one to one that was downright creepy. The use of the term by others on the subject is in the record somewhere. The person who was defending the use of the photo as "consensus" began stalking me, and they issued numerous unfounded complaints. Taking their side, I was put on limited sanctions. Again, these were unfounded.

So now we come to this. I am accused of violating biographies of living persons. How?

The policy is, and I quote:

 Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page.[a] Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies: 
   Neutral point of view (NPOV)    Verifiability (V)    No original research (NOR) 

AS to WP:NOR, there wasn't any. I have never done so, except for maybe once. This was at the 2016 Democratic convention when after ASKING PERMISSION, I posted a photograph of a credential I had been given to attend the event. It was later taken down, for copyright reasons, and I didn't complain.

On a number of times, there were false accusations of such because I had posted the facts just prior to posting the reference. Most recently, having to do with a nifty bit of trivia having to do with last Sunday's opening of Congress, It was the first time this has ever happened. It was challenged and I proved it again. No harm no foul.

Then there's Verifiability WP:V, Everything I have put on the main page of all articles have been verified. As to the Emily Murphy thing. I never posted anything unverified in the article. In fact, I never posted anything about her at all on the main page of the article in question. I did not put the "offending" section up, nor did I revert it when it was twice taken down. I'm serious. If there disruptive edits, it wasn't me.

The only thing I said on the matter was:

 "...just got rid of the entire Emily Murphy section, which BTW, was there from the very creation of the article and is a vital part of the narrative." 

that's it. There was a later part of the thread when another poster falsely accused me of libeling Ms.Murphy. I replied infelicitously, but then, I was provoked.

Remember, Ms. Murphy is Administrator of the General Services Administration, a cabinet-level office in the Federal government, making her a Public Figure. The relevant "scripture" on the subject is this:

 ...In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out.  

What Ms. Murphy did, was widely reported in all major newspapers, TV networks, and reliable websites in North America and the Rest of the World. I said that that the certain poster knew Ms. Murphy because I could find no reason why she would go to such lengths to defend her. I was simply trying to understand.

I also wish to note that I never mentioned Ms.Murphy's social life, personal life, or anything else about her taking place between November 3 and 30, 2020. They are irrelevant.

The main thing was about Trump himself. The article in question, and most of the other articles related to it, are, as to subject matter, quite insane. (this is NOT WP:POV)

Babykins throws a tantrum: Depicting Trump as a baby here (and not on the main page, obviously) is done because the enablers in high and elected office were treating him as such... 

There are countless reports in reliable sources where people say this.

To quote one of the people who got me blocked :

Now you're calling her an actual criminal, (which I did not) and your evidence is a tweet from Trump, a known liar who will throw anyone under the bus if he thinks it'll make him look good. Nope, I don't know the woman and as far as I know have never met anyone who's met her, but thanks for that show of good faith lol. All of us should be concerned that we avoid libeling any living human being.  

Notice that THEY are characterizing the President in the exact same way I did. Should THEY be blocked as well? No. In this case, she is right.

the top of the talk page on the article in question encourages WP:Be bold, which as i folloed this policy, is why I believe I am being punished.

I ask humbly, please unblock me. I have much to contribute. Arglebargle79 (talk) 14:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

could find no reason why she would go to such lengths to defend her - try reading WP:BLP again carefully. It's a cornerstone policy and plenty of us care about it a great deal, yes even for unpopular people. Nil Einne (talk) 15:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Arglebargle79, as soon as other editors object, WP:Be bold no longer applies. Objections should be met with backtracking and attempts to discuss on the talk page and reach a consensus. Continued bold editing in such cases is disruptive, edit warring, and uncollaborative. Nil Einne, should this understanding be codified better in the guideline? -- Valjean (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Arglebargle79 - WP:BLPSTYLE directs we not “label people with contentious labels, loaded language, or terms that lack precision” while WP:BLPTALK clarifies that this directive “also applies to user and user talk pages.” Referring to a BLP as "babykins" repeatedly, or implying another BLP is a criminal, may lack the precision expected when discussing BLPs. I would also note that, though the block was not given for a WP:CIVIL violation, you probably did violate our policy in that regard by making a rather outlandish accusation that Valjean valereee was a relative or friend of one of your targets [1]. You have also displayed a WP:NOTHERE attitude by indicating your editing is done in order to disseminate what you believe to be urgent public safety warnings of various disasters you have predicted will occur in the future based on information you claim has been given to you through social media [2]. While your concern for public well-being is laudatory, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not the emergency broadcast system. Finally, you have rejected our WP:NPOV policy as inconsistent with the plot of Fiddler on the Roof [3]. While you are welcome to have this opinion, you may not – in general – unilaterally apply other sources for WP content standards outside of our polices and guidelines. Again, while these were not the reasons for the block they may be points for optional self-reflection. Chetsford (talk) 17:55, 5 January 2021 (UTC); edited 21:48, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Chetsford it was actually me they were accusing of having a COI with Murphy, just FTR, but that doesn't change the actual issue. I'm involved w/re Murphy because I edited her article when this whole thing started. —valereee (talk) 21:28, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies- thank you for the correction! Apparently I can't tell the difference between names that start with "V" --- edited, above. Chetsford (talk) 21:48, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is very disappointing to see an indefinite ban for a very productive user as a first block. While his language on the talk page was not well thought out at a time of frustration, it's hard to see a serious BLP violation when the subject is the highest public figure who could not win a theoretical defamation lawsuit. I certainly respect these administrators' decisions regarding this language but I hope ArgleBargle79 can return at some point after a time of penance and a cooling of the political atmosphere, perhaps with the topic ban in the following section. Reywas92Talk 09:29, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone seen user talk:Ket10ny? Yes that user was blocked as a sockpuppet of someone else, but the evidence presented had merit. Also, take a look at the extensive interaction shown here, in particular Arglebargle79's work on articles started by Ericl like Impeachment investigations of United States federal judges and Impeachment investigations of United States federal officials. Seems pretty likely the user is an Ericl sock. Sro23 (talk) 06:11, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sro23, I've interacted with Arglebargle79 a lot, and their behavior is extremely similar to Ericl's. I think a discussion should be started at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ericl. This is not the proper venue to discuss the issue further, so I'll leave it at that. ― Tartan357 Talk 07:30, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Community TBAN on AP32 imposed[edit]

A Community TBAN has been imposed on Arglebargle79, prohibiting editing on all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, broadly construed.

It will continue to apply if any appeal of his indefinite block is accepted, unless a successful appeal is made at AN. An appeal may be made 6 months after the removal of the indefinite block.

In the event that ARBCOM change the definition of AP32, to use a later cut-off year, the original definition will continue to apply (again, subject to any AN-appeal). Nosebagbear (talk) 09:29, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To anyone who's reading this. The reason I was blocked is that I was found to have been putting up information related to the 1/6 attack on the capitol, using readily available information on the web, shortly before it happened. We nearly lost the nation on that day. remember that. Arglebargle79 (talk) 12:20, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
