Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Zephram Stark/Workshop

Could Fred please explain his comment in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Zephram Stark/Workshop#Civility? I think I might be misreading, but it seems to suggest that civility violations require two participants, which does not seem obvious to me. --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 02:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My preliminary take on the situation was that Zephram Stark was not the only one not being civil. However, as I have thought about the situation, I now believe that, right or wrong with respect to details or specific edits, Zephram Stark's tendentious editing style is disruptive.

Do you mean disruptive in a good way? Like as in I succeeded in getting enough support for a factually correct and stable terrorism introduction that actually conveyed information where everyone else, for years, had failed? Do you mean disruptive in that I point out when people are being permanently blocked under the guise of being my sockpuppets when, factually, they are not and, as per the IP numbers of the people being blocked and the fact that some of them post at exactly the same time as me from various parts of the world, there is no way that they could be?

Would anyone prefer that this was still the article for terrorism?

Terrorism —— May, June, July, August 2005

Because that's what it would have been if someone hadn't stood up to Jayjg. --Zephram Stark 16:06, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but you over did it. Fred Bauder 17:03, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certainly open to suggestions as to how the same thing could have been accomplished in any other way. I do not plan on ever going through that again. --Zephram Stark 17:08, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've protected this page due to a series of attacks by the "disruptive apartheid editor" (who I'm starting to think is someone better known here under another name, but I don't know who.) The guy is trying to intimidate me, I guess, by posting a link to a picture of me; it's can't work, since I make no secret of my real-world identity, but it's annoying and bad behaviour; meanwhile, since the RfAr has been closed, I see no reason that the Workshop needs to be edited anymore. --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 00:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
