I am being blocked from editing.
I think user Cryptic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cryptic is gaming and abusing his/her position. I get the following message:
Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Halliburton Shill". The reason given for Halliburton Shill's block is: "Inappropriate username, googlebomb attempt - see userpage history".
There was no discussion by Cryptic with me and the only other similar discussion is here, in which everyobdy but the person making a delete request has voted keep (at least until a few minutes):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Hallibu…
Since then, Cryptic has also made it a point to blank my user page without any broad support. My only vehicle for comment is my own talk page and this mailing list.

==Libel against Wikipedia and Jimbo==
Hi, an article defaming Wikipedia is spreading across the internet.
[http://thailandesl.chazzsongs.net/internet.wiki.htm You can read it
at the bottom of this link.] The article's author, [[Judi McLeod]]
implies that Wikipedia is connected to and takes its orders from
[[Kofi Annan]]. She also claims that Wikipedia removed information
from the [[Kofi Annan]] page at Kofi Annan's request. According to
her, the article had claimed Annan's father was a freemason.
Wiki contributors went through all 542 revisions of the [[Kofi Annan]]
article and found no mention of freemasonry whatsoever. There is an
ongoing discussion about this at [[talk:Kofi Annan]]
Senior sys-op and Wiki news reporter [[user:Zanimum|Zanimum]] wrote
her two letters asking for proof but she refuses to respond. She also
refuses to correct the errors or withdraw the [[Canada Free Press]]
article.
Can anybody advise us on the next step to take? Ignoring them isn't an
option since they have written several error-ridden articles about
Wikipedia. No doubt there will be more.
This is very frustrating and upsetting. We have gone out of our way to
address her concerns but she gives us no credit. Both
[[user:Homeontherange|Homeontherange]] and I have made sure that
unproven assertions and inflammatory statements are quickly taken out
of the article whenever they appear. I myself made it a priority
recently to include positive details such as the journalism award
McLeod won in 1983. And yet she calls us "wicked pedia".

I have been falsely accused of vandalizing Wikipedia pages since
October 2005. Many of the complaints I see on my user talk page deal
with me editing pages that I have never even seen before. I do not know
what is going on, but I do find it incredibly unfair that I am
restricted from editing on Wikipedia because of something that possibly
someone else might have done.
Hello. I am about to clear over a week's worth of moderated messages
on the WikiEN-l moderation queue, and there will be a sudden influx of
messages, many of which are old and/or from newbies complaining about
being blocked. I apologise.

I would hope so... there's one affiliate-program site I use that has
the extremely annoying "feature" of having a captcha you've got to
get through *every* time you log in, which really screws up Mozilla's
saved-password system, which generates a new record for the site
every time because the field values differ.

Softwear... is that something like underwear?

Oh... you're not practicing techniques used to mine ore bodies by
creating underground "rooms" or stopes supported by surrounding
pillars of standing rock on Alphax?

Sometime back, there was a discussion about the unusual license of http://www.panopedia.org/index.php/Panopedia. Within the context of Wikipedia, I was wondering if this license makes any sense at all. I think there are some instances where this MAY make sense. For example, images tagged as GFDL-self could be tagged this way. If I make an image, that is, take a photograph of a leader or an actor I adore and do not want it to be photoshopped into some unknown monstrosity, I would be more comfortable in using Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5 license. The same would apply to personal images that I upload on to my userpage. The last thing I want to see in my image my moustache disappear or a beard appear ;). Any thoughts which other areas this admittedly over-restrictive license can be used if at all allowed on wikipedia?
regards,
Gurubrahma.

Hello all,
An article dear to my heart (well, more an article about a subject
dear to my heart) has apparently recently deleted for non-notability.
Although I actually agree with that designation, I suddenly sympathise
with anyone who's had an article deleted! Particularly some of the
(good faith) remarks made on the AfD page like "Delete. It still
amazes me some of the topics that people think are notable." -
Just wondering whether it's possible for me to get the content (and if
possible, history) of the article back? There are probably more
appropriate places to host it. Or maybe even trim it down and merge it
into some other article.
