User talk:Dismao

I am dismao. I am a taoist living and breathing in nyc.

I believe in wikipedia. I will attemp to be fair and neutral.

I will abide by NPOV but bias is sometimes very difficult to determine.

Please look below to see how an administrator has overused his authority in solving a dispute between two parties. The lack of good faith and excuse to place a 3rr rule against me instead of following the written policy that disputes of content should be done in mediation. I make no excuses for my actions but it should never have gone this far especially since my dispute was with a person who claims he is an avid editor and superior in "wikipedia community policy". In the end full blame goes to Chris73 and my justification to no longer pursue anything related to wikipedia.

3RR on Howard Dean

You have been blocked for a 3RR on Howard Dean. Please see details on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. The block will expire in 24 hours. The 3 revert rule limits user to 3 reperts within 24 hours, trying to prohibit edit wars. You are very welcome to edit again after the block expires, and more discussion on the talk page may be helpful. -- Chris 73 Talk 04:13, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

For clarification: The 3RR allows 3 reverts in 24 hours. Only the fourth revert may get an user (in this case you) blocked. At the time of blocking, Radicalsubversiv had only 3 reverts, whereas you had four. Hence you got blocked, and he did not. On a side note, about 7 hours after the 22:31, 24 Feb 2005 edit, Radicalsubversiv did another edit, his 4th edit in a 24 hour period. This happened after I blocked you, so I did not see it at that time. However, this edit removes only a single word, so it can be disputed if this is a revert. You may list it on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. As the last edit may or may not be a revert, i am not sure if he will be blocked for 24 hours, 12 hours, or not at all. You may give it a try if you want, possibly with refering to your case on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive8. In any case, a 3RR block does not support one version or another, but just tries to stop an edit war. hence, I have nothing against or for your edits.
