Sorry Sir Nick, it's me again, and still having the same problem. I didn't find any other administrator who wanted to help me, and I'm growing tired of being treated like garbage by the people at the [[Greater and Lesser Tunbs]] page. Only one friendly person turned up on the talk page and defended my work. Look at what happened. Since I started working on that page, they have blindly reverted me ''nine times''. Today I made a big expansion of the article, backed up with lots of sources. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greater_and_Lesser_Tunbs&diff=79456929&oldid=79349835]) I'm actually quite proud of it, I think nobody can seriously say that isn't an improvement. But it was reverted too, blindly, even with all the factual uncontroversial corrections I'd made on the way. ManiF was clever enough not to do the revert himself this time, he sent somebody else to do it for him. But he endorsed the revert. And of course, nobody even bothers to argue what's wrong about my edits, or what's wrong with my criticism of the earlier version. They just won't accept anything that even hints at the possibility that anything other than the Iranian point of view could be taken seriously. |
|||
I even made a little correction about the Persian name, about ''their own language,'' and even that was reverted four times until ManiF finally admitted (well, sort of) that I had been right after all. |
|||
What can be done? I'm actually quite tired of the idea of having any further discussions with these people or doing "mediation" with them. They have been behaving abominably. Hah, I also found that page somewhere that says newbies shouldn't be ''bitten''. Nice joke. I for one feel bitten for certain. |
|||
Oh yes, and I also found what you said about ManiF being on "Arbcom probation". You meant this here, right? [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman]]. Egad, what a mess. Now I understand what's been happening. So he can be banned if he edits disruptively? I mean, it's not for me to decide, but if this here isn't disruptive, then what is? |

Hi Andy. |

Please check your E-mail inbox, I've sent you an e-mail. Also, please take note of the following harassing and condescending remarks by FellFairy. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Greater_and_Lesser_Tunbs&diff=prev&oldid=79531456] Could you please remind the user, that such comments are borderline personal attacks, and not in line with the wikipedia rule to "'''Discuss the topic, not the individuals'''". I love genuine dialogue and debate about the topics dealt with in articles, but I'm not interested in personal petty arguments. I'd appreciate your help and advice. Thanks.
