WP:CONSENT Filing of this document, from Wikipedia: Declaration of consent for all inquiries From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Redirected from Wikipedia: CONSENT is all that was required . . . discernment needed. Stmullin (talk) 14:06, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Disagreement on Policy
Debating Policy is very difficult when you censor and block people whose Good Faith edits are not correctly discerned. I regret that the disagreement occurred and can play by the rules just discovered . . . it is synthesis, not copyright that offended people. Appropriate citations were given. Correct forms were submitted. It is the synthesis of the information that offended other editors and there is a template for that error.Stmullin (talk) 19:07, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Synthesis
Could another administrator please review this case. The permissions were filed and ignored or lost. Diffs are being made of correctly cited material. It is a shame to see so many editors' work damaged by a senseless rampage through articles when a simple edit would suffice. Edit, not deletion, is the way Wikipedians resolve differences. Stmullin (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
After reading the comments on Stewart Hase and Heutagogy deletion pages, I believe the correct template for my edits is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Synthesis That explanation would resolve the number of similar words and sequencing of words that seemed to trouble administrators. I can not endorse or give credence to the definition of copyright that initiated these discussions. That definition is just wrong . . . I can say that synthesis of the information requires consideration of similar words and sequencing of ideas. WP:Synthesis, I can agree with.Stmullin (talk) 23:25, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Would you please provide me with some guidance on the block?Stmullin (talk) 04:06, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Hmm . . . the last user page entry for Simon Kidd was 00:34, 10 April 2012 (UTC) so I guess he is missing . . . I think I can understand why.Stmullin (talk) 03:04, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

John Carter
Thought this was an interesting post by User:John Carter on User:Gregbard's page and wondered if I might help with proofreading and separating out content into individual articles?
- Hell yes! Any help would be more than welcome. No one should have any problem creating an account there. Right now I am working on the first volume of the Cambridge History of American Literature on my computer and transferring pages to the site in major chunks rather than page by page which is why I don't look that active there. The only caveats I might add are that in ye olde days they used a lot more diacritics than we use today and we should use them in the transcriptions too. They can sometimes be a pain to decipher in bad images. For a new editor maybe the best thing to do to start would be to set up an account there and go over to the wikisource:Wikisource:Scriptorium to introduce yourself and say what your interests are. From what I remember all of the old Britannica has been placed there and most pages haven't received a first proofread yet. Part of that for Britannica is how long the individual pages are. A lot of other books have much shorter individual pages.
- Separation of pages into articles tends to require that the pages be proofread first but like most of the tasks there isn't that complicated. And if you wanted to start on one of the reference sources I have listed but haven't added there yet you might well be able to get it added for you. The sheer amount of broadly "historical" material which could be quickly developed there and substantially transferred here quickly actually kind of staggers me. John Carter (talk) 00:16, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Just chiming in that there is one possibility that Greg could consider in the interim. Over at wikisource:User:John Carter I have a freaking huge listing of reference works currently in the public domain which as of a 1986 guide to reference works were still considered in some way useful and valuable. Pretty much by definition, the articles from those sources can be copied word for word with proper attribution. Admittedly, in several cases, they will also be outdated (big surprise), but for a lot of articles about, for instance, medieval political figures, defunct states, and the like, they can be very useful. John Carter (talk) 22:16, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Even if you are blocked here you should still be able to go over to Wikisource and starting either proofreading pages from works which have already been added or uploading files that aren't there yet and proofreading and separating out content into individual articles. Some of the articles from Encyclopedia Britannica and some of the other reference sources would be very easily transformed into article content here. John Carter (talk) 15:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Glad to know that User:Gregbard has found a defense team! Stmullin (talk) 23:44, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Here is a link leading to more sources for Heutagogy if anyone has time to reconstruct that article . . . http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/selfdetermined-learning-the-craft-of-heutagogy Happy editing! Stmullin (talk) 00:47, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Stable Articles in Safe Environment
I just discovered that the verbatim text of the deleted Wikipedia articles maybe found at http://cdn.worldheritage.org very interesting. Stmullin (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
{{[[Template:copyvio-revdel |copyvio-revdel ]]}}
562803006 and 605500251 are not my edits . . . I did not have any copyright violations on that article or other articles that were flagged as 'blatant' . . . I'm not certain why User:Gregbard and I got targeted but I am certain that we were set-up . . . especially since our articles are surfacing on other sites . . . please let us out of the doghouse . . . we did not do what we are accused of doing. Stmullin (talk) 00:35, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
More Clean-up
Just removed malware from my system . . .
TrojanDownloader:Win32/Filcout.A Description TrojanDownloader:Win32/Filcout.A is a Trojan downloader that strives to download and install other malware infections or PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) to a PC. TrojanDownloader:Win32/Filcout.A can target particular files on remote websites, or a particular web address that points to a website encompassing an exploit code that may permit the website to automatically drop and run applications or a malevolent code on vulnerable PCs. TrojanDownloader:Win32/Filcout.A permits cybercrooks to obtain remote unauthorized access and control over the attacked computer.
User:Gregbard may need to do the same. Still no clue about the motive for the attack.Stmullin (talk) 23:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I thought that those of you resurrecting the lost articles related to Philosophy of education might benefit from this online course offered in 1999 by LeoNora M. Cohen, OSU - School of Education at http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/ed416/module1.html which has references. This is very close to the information that was deleted. Please know that textbooks were not typical for this information . . . we received course packs or other summaries from our instructors. Stmullin (talk) 21:45, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
Evidence
I still feel that although, strictly speaking, an administrator is able to justify blocking me given particular edits made by myself and the content of the policies, that this particular case would have been better handled by communicating with me in a civil manner. I believe the evidence and my long standing and prolific contributions support that view. The situation could have been handled much less heavy-handedly. I will get back to you a formal appeal at some point soon, and with the findings of my research. Greg Bard (talk) 19:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Are you sure you want that last paragraph there? It's enough for me to remove talkpage access, in part because it shows that you do NOT understand your block whatsoever, and are simply railing on against a policy that a) you agreed to, b) that is not optional, and c) you were well aware of the panda ₯’ 19:56, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
As I have stated, I am currently doing research, so if it seems as though it is the policy that I do not understand, then please forgive and withhold judgment and action until I make my formal request with my findings. The last statement is not a formal part of any formal appeal. The claim that the administrator who blocked me, and those who supported her could have just communicated with me civilly doesn't actually support the conclusion that I either understand, or do not understand the policy in any way. All that it means is that administratively, they had a choice, and chose a very heavy-handed approach. Please do not confuse political considerations for judicial ones. I have stated that "an administrator is able to justify blocking me given particular edits made by myself and the content of the policies" so that actually supports the conclusion that I do understand that a policy has been breached by myself. I am going the extra mile here by going through a more extensive study of the policies. I am finding the environment to be extremely authoritarian, if you can't appreciate that distinction. Greg Bard (talk) 20:06, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
The "suggestion" an accusation is that you were not dealt with politely and civilly - which is patently false, and thus a personal attack. Hence, rethink that paragraph - those who make personal attacks against others - including the blocking admin - get the pleasure of having their talkpage access revoked. Your choice here: refactor, or I'll remove it for you ... and if I have to remove it, I'll remove talkpage access as well. the panda ₯’ 20:32, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Come on, don't pile on here. I haven't always had the best interactions with Greg, but there's no need to go looking for slights you have to infer. --Trovatore (talk) 20:55, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
"The "suggestion" an accusation is that you were not dealt with politely and civilly - which is patently false, and thus a personal attack." — That is emphatically not a personal attack. Please restore talk page access. Carrite (talk) 00:16, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Actually, read WP:WIAPA Tim. Also, you know as well as I do that Greg's talkpage access has not been rescinded. the panda ₯’ 00:56, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
"It's enough for me to remove talkpage access." No, you would-be totalitarian disgrace to the admin corps, it is not. — Scott • talk 14:56, 19 June 2014 (UTC) (No stake in this issue, have never encountered Gregbard before, saw this discussion mentioned over at Wikipediocracy.)
