This page exists only to discuss and resolve issues, like "edit wars" and serious disagreements about content. Try to resolve the conflict using the specific page's discussion/talk page. If, and only if, all other steps have failed, and you see no reasonable chance that the matter can be resolved in another manner, you may request that it be decided by the administrators here.

If you support a particular position, list your username and reasoning.

We hope never to have to use this page!

User:Knootoss and User:Tanah Burung vs. User:Syskeyia

Evidence and comments in this case should be directed to /Syskeyia

Statement of complaint

Well, I'm not sure about the use of arbitration as a means here but as goober suggested it I'll go with it. Thing is, Syskeyia has been misbehaving here for a while. Yes, he has made some useful contributions (which I welcome) but on the other hand I have to check every single entry he makes for childish comments and (sometimes) vandalism. Examples:

• adding silly RL comments in Der Angst entry, after which DA warned him clearly not to do it again.
• That did not stop him from Adding childish RL comments to my 19th century history , which I subsequently removed with comment.
• Adding 'Fuckian' as a language of SeOCC was an example of plain vandalism. He was warned about this on his by metalk page. This was a clear violation of the rules. Syskeyia never bothered to respond to this warning.
• Knootian independence entry declaring that my edit was 'supposedly' written in 1581
• I considerthese edits to the Utrecht entry which AGAIN I consider to be childish and bordering on vandalism.

As a normal user (not as a sysop) I'd recommend that something be done about all of this. From our warnings AND all the reverting edit comments it should be abundantly clear that we did not want such edits. (And he reads the reverting edits, since he uses them himself to reply to MY reverting edits so it is IMO a bit difficult to feign ignorance on that matter.)

Now, seperate from this is the matter of the Tanah Burung entry. See the [Talk:Tanah_Burung corresponding talk page] and edit history, really. I'm willing to describe in more detail if that is required. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 21:52, 22 Oct 2004 (GMT)
