Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

  You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kingcoconut.

Request for an interview

edit

You recently asked me for an interview. I must decline for a number of reasons:

  • Personal details, such as my phone number, are not things that I give out easily at the best of times.
  • On several occasions templates were removed from Peter Foster without any attempt to engage in discussion about them.
  • You wrote "I am doing a thesis on criminality and the discrimination prisoners, ex-prisoners and people on parole endure at the hands of society." Perhaps you should check with your advisor about the limits of what is permittable in terms of producing evidence for your thesis.
  • You wrote "The edits that are being made are part of a project to determine your (wikipedia editors) attitude to Foster, and it has been most insightful." This seems to be at odds with the guideline Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point.
  • You wrote "I have sourced all my comments very carefully, and it is most amusing and troubling to see how the positive facts are removed, but the negative points are unaltered.".Some of the sources added to the article did not support the claims they were added to. Some are listed on the relevant section of the talk page. Please read Wikipedia:Reliable sources carefully.
  • You wrote "You'll hear alot more about this, but in the interim, I would very much like to interview you by telephone if you wanted to defend your actions." This sounds ominous for two reasons: the phrase "You'll hear alot more about this" sounds like a threat and the phrase "if you wanted to defend your actions" clearly puts the onus on me to defend my actions, as if I was in the wrong. Given recent personal attacks, I am concerned. Under normal circumstances, I am wary of giving out personal details, but the personal attacks, the fact that you are under investigation for using sockpuppets and the fact that you have been blocked for disruptive editing, I naturally refuse.

AUTARCH ANSWER WHY YOU ARE SO BIAS TO FOSTER

edit

Autarch you are hiding from your responsibilties. Here is one example. You removed Foster being described as an "international playboy" However, the highly respected Australian Broadcasting Corporation ABC said, "Foster has been living the life of an international playboy". see: http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/s805569.htm

Wheather you like it or not, he is an international playboy. He first appeared on the cover of Australian Playboy magazine in 1989 He first visted the playboy mansion west with Hugh Hefner in October 1983 Can you answer me why you are so jealous or that you take out the line about him dating a long line of beautiful women. These are facts. These women were on the world stage. Sam Fox. Carole Caplin and the Blair's. But you go out of your way to research criminal matters about him, but won't research and give him any credit at all. That is called bias. You, are acting with malice. You are discriminating against him. That is the thrust of my thesis. I say you will hear more about it, not as a threat, but through media reports. What you are doing strikes at the very heart of Wikipedia being used incorrectly by people who act in an unprofessional manner.

Autarch, you like to see yourslef as an impartial and fair editor. You're not. Actions speak louder than words. Your edits on Foster are not balanced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.78.219 (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
