I saw your essay on someone else's RFA, as it happens. Clicked over and read it through. What you said certainly rings true for me, too, and I'll definitely bear it in mind for future votes. And thanks, too, for your support :) - Alison ☺ 05:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I am warning you to not preemptively warn me because I have done nothing wrong nor will I. I assure I will maintain my no POV and continue to edit articles which I believe I am capable of editing accurately. I am here to have the truth be heard. Thank you. 23 March 2007—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wa3ad7 ( talk • contribs) 01:03, March 23, 2007

What did i do just now? i was try to improve the article, please do not use ur POV while on wikipedia. and Again what did i do just now? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.52.25.23 ( talk) 18:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
oops sorry, i'm mistaken something again, sorry, sorry bothering u.-- Towaru 18:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for your support in my recent RFA. As you may or may not be aware, it passed with approximately 99% support. I ensure you that I will use the tools well, and if I ever disappoint you, I am open to recall. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talkpage. Thanks again, ^ demon [omg plz] 20:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons#Criticism_and_overwhelming_clause. Discussion seems to have reached a standstill, and still no alternative interpretation of the "overwhelming clause" that would make the criticism on the Sudais article legitimate.

There is an application to join the unblock list from User:Avi with an address of avi _ wiki @ yahoo . com. (Spaces added to avoid spammers). Given the circumstances, I assume this is from you. Could you please confirm either through an e-mail or by a message on my talk page.

The User:Waldork just returned with another abusive post - I don't know what happened but after I deleted it, I went to the history to get the diff and it has disappeared (maybe it happened concurrently with your clean-up). Anyway, thank you VERY much for your help! -- Pete K 22:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I have Core's page watched and saw your question. The vandal added a lot of identifying personal information about Psychonaut to various pages, and I brought Core's attention to them. He told me he filed an RFO, so I assume the vandalistic edits have been oversighted. But a definite vandal. – Chacor 05:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
The block you have in place looks good. Every time we relax the parameters we wind up being subject to abusive account creation and causing more headache for our CheckUsers than necessary. The {{ school block}} template should be sufficient, as it includes instructions on how to go about creating an account, either from another network or by contacting the unblock mailing list. I'll add a notice atop that talk page with the same template if it isn't there already. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 17:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I would strongly suggest that you back off. Not only are my contributions to Move America Forward factual, they are also logical. If you take issue with every one of my edits and talk page comments I will almost certainly begin to take issue with you personally.. this is not a personal attack but please do not attempt to silence the underdogs. -- Asucena 18:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't know about this, but it may be a good idea to combine all those nominations of IP templates into one discussion. There's no harm in qualifying. The discussions will probably be very similar. I doubt this myself, however, so it's your decision. Gracenotes T § 20:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Your concerned is covered by {{ SharedIP}} which covers for everything. -- Avi 00:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Avi, I have no problem with this user's being blocked. However, you should have got someone else to do it. It's easy to let a troll like this sucker you into doing an action that, although thoroughly warranted, can be painted as an involved admin abusing his powers. I say this because you had made reverts to the page in question. Also, try not to describe other users' edits as "vandalism" even if you consider that they are valueless.
Also, you blocked for 48 hours. This is contrary to the policy. Take care to stay strictly within the bounds of the policy when dealing with a user like this. I do not think you should block for WP:COI "violation" (it is not a policy and carries no sanctions) or for WP:NPOV "violation" (this is subjective, and it is ultra vires for you to punish other editors for making POV edits; you have to take that to an RfC and then an RfAr and get official sanction). Do not allow this troll to become a martyr by abusing your powers. Do it by the book and that is prevented. Grace Note 04:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, Avi. You absolutely have not been acting within the "bounds of propriety". I would not have written to you if you had. I must reiterate: I have your interests at heart. I write only to help you avoid being painted as a villain. However, your understanding of what you did wrong is very flawed. First of all, you may not block users you are involved in a content dispute with. See this section of the blocking policy. Second, WP:COI is a guideline, not a policy, and you may not block other editors on account of breaching it. Please read the policy and get a clear understanding of this. Third, the editor has not been previously blocked for 3RR. Please read the policy, which is quite clear that 24 hours is the correct punishment for breach. I think that most editors would agree that 48 hours for a second breach would be unduly harsh. Most of us believe blocks are preventive, not punitive, and should not be escalated lightly. Fourth, the only editor to agree with you on WP:AN/I was User:Durova, who has a vested interest. Finally, I have no influence at all with User:Asucena but if you look through my contributions you will note that I have urged that they edit within the bounds of the policies, just as I do you. Grace Note 05:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar, I appreciate it! Slackerlawstudent 06:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, that p. has been a headache in every possible direction. This gives us a good chance to start over. DGG 06:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Avi, I answered your question on my talk page. -- MPerel ( talk | contrib) 09:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Avi - if you have any spare time/energy, I'm trying to source & rewrite Circumcision worldwide at Talk:Circumcision worldwide/Temp & would be grateful for any help. Jakew 20:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I would like to call your attention to the discussion page on that article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel#.22population_transfer.22 ). In light of that, my editing is not vandalism.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.117.157.15 ( talk • contribs) 22:27, March 29, 2007
Minimal/trivial issue: Upon reading a comment of your's on this RfA, I tried to search the page for your vote, and discovered it isn't quite easy to find your sig (having). I just wondered b/c I frequently scan talk pages for my own comments. — KNcyu38 ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm very sorry, but I seem to have accidentally deleted a comment by you during an edit conflict. I've given the following message to user DennyColt to ask for help fixing it, since I think that user may be archiving the page right now:
I'm sorry to have caused this mess, but apparently I accidentally deleted a comment by user Avraham during an edit conflict here. also a comment by Radiant!, but apparently the latter user added that comment back in. The comment by Avraham is still not in, I believe: "# First version; at least there is a representative range of choices. -- Avi 13:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)" in section "Option 3 - Verbose version" subsection "Endorse". Apparently the page is being archived so I don't know how to restore this comment to its proper place. I would appreciate help or advice. Thanks. -- Coppertwig 23:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I have posted a question over at the anti-Semitic people category that we've been debating. It is a very specific BLP concern that I would like addressed and, since you have been the most articulate and passionate supporter of this categorization scheme, I figured that you'd be best to take a crack at it. It is about subcategorization in the likely case of this sticking around via a non-con ruling. It is towards the bottom of the discussion. Thanks in advance.
PS--being an actuary: is it as dreadfully boring as it might seem or is it fun in a morbid way to make educated guesses about untimely (or, I guess, timely) demises? Take care. youngamerican ( ahoy hoy) 01:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Today I was doing some reading on programming languages, and I clicked a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HQ9+ - and the article was missing. The article is linked to from http://www.parrotcode.org/languages/ - the Parrot project is pretty notable, and they trusted Wikipedia to act as a reference work that they could link to. Please consider reversing the deletion of the HQ9+ article. Thanks. - Chandon 20:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Can you please see User talk:Zeq#Doc Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Talk:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad#Isreal is Poison? I am convinced that Zeq's addition is OR but despite my attempts I can't seem to get through to him. For some reason I think that you may be better at reaching him than I. Thanks in advance for any help in this matter. The Behnam 06:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Avraham, our interaction on the Brian McLaren article showed that you are a discerning admin. We are having a problem on Rob Bell with user User:Gump - he has done now 7 reverts within the past 24 hours and he insists on keeping a paragraph in the article that is blatant advertising and spam for a third party group that has nothing to do with the living person or biography of Rob Bell. I can no longer revert his changes since I am at the limit myself; he has also ignored all our attempts to discuss the changes and participate in constructive development of the article. I don't know what else to do. -- Virgil Vaduva 14:40, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I see this IP address, which is mine, is blocked for vandalism. Could you give me the details of when and where the vandalism occurred? Thanks Paul venter 20:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Avi, You have stated a number of times that you are a Litvok. Just so you know, for the most part, R' Pinkus was not recieved well in most of the litvish oilom, but was recieved very well by some(including Yeshivas Ner Yisroel)litvish Yeshivos and also in the Gantze Chassidische oilom. I can bring a source, but someone who can quote R' Shach, The CHozon Ish, R' Elyashiv (Please note they are all livoks) and bring down the source properly can put it up. -- Shuli 18:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Gerash has broken 3RR to keep his POV at Rooz, please comment Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:Gerash77_reported_by_User:Rayis_.28Result:.29. Regards, -- Rayis 13:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
This is a good example of nonesense [1]. Stop vandalising pages like Human shield. You're removing sourced content; take time and read sources, and then make strange statements. Thanks. -- 217.219.236.17 21:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
No, the tone is ok. This is what I've read in the sources. Please read the source Israelis use Palestinian as human shield, Denver Post. I think you haven't looked at it, and just tried reverting first. Now you know that it was not vandalism, and your comments was not appropriate. Btw, please respond here. It would be better and easier for me. Thanks. -- 217.219.236.17 21:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Thank you for removing my request from you in your talk page. I'd only requested you to stop posting rude messages to me. Why do you delete it? What's your fear? I can't see it even in your talk page's history. What are you doing? -- 217.219.236.17 21:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm talking about my message on your talk page that disappeared, and I can not see it even in its history. -- 217.219.236.17 21:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Please continue any discussion here: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Personal attacks by Yossiea and Avraham] Thank you. -- Avi 22:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Maybe It was me, I wanted to create a user, and I used Avraham as name. I tried it ignorantly. Sorry. If I knew, I never would have done this. Do you want to block me for being a new user? -- 217.219.236.17 22:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Please see the talk page of Dog agility to see my reasons for failing the article as a GA. Please let me know if you have any questions on my talk page. -- Nehrams2020 00:09, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Avi. Thanks for your prompt action. Much appreciated. I am really just fed up w/ people coming over this place to disrupt and promote hatred coupled w/ much stubborness. This is just not the place for that. Cheers. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up ® 15:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Avi, i'm not sure why the extract was removed. Matt57 pursued a calculated pattern of harassment against me by putting up a partial quote which he thought would draw protest from me [2] [3] [4], despite him believing that scriptural extracts on user pages was userpage violation. [5] unlike Matt57, i have not put up any extract on my page to attack anyone, or be provocative, or violate WP:POINT. ITAQALLAH 14:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Can you also remove all the "independence for Kurdistan" userboxes in Wikipedia on behalf of WikiProject Turkey? I also feel offended and provoked! :) Nazi flag, I am 100percent behind the decision to remove, but Palestinian one really falls into a marge of appreciation really. Baristarim 15:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Please will you keep an eye on this article & its talk page? Someone is determined to redirect it to circumcision. Jakew 14:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
You couldn't have read my edit ... you reverted it too quickly! If you had, will would find no place where I'm bringing any point of bias to the Circumcision topic.
I can find several places where you bring bias to the topic. For example, there are three extremely painful steps in a circumcision procedure. An authentic bris performs two of those three without anesthesia. Your quote misleads the reader to think authentic means painless (or doesn't need!! anesthesia). TipPt 16:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I just modified Male genital mutilation from redirection page to stub article because I have intention to expand it, and you reverted it and wrote in edit summary: "IP getting around semi protect. This is rediculous. Needs full protection". Why? -- antiXt 18:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
ah, ok -- antiXt 19:14, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
