I rejected the mediator as biased once the mediator had offended my co-party, [[User:Amgine|Amgine]], by taking sides and stating what the mediator considered to be historical facts, (without even starting discussing mediation with me, by the way) to the extent that Amgine formally rejected the mediator as biased, and Amgine has been neither heard of nor seen. |

Also, please note that the edit summaries should be seen in context, see also the nature of my editorial relationship with Ungtss on the talk page. |

'''Caveat to Jwrosenzweig statement on Koans''' - Note that the sentence in question (which is an NPOV sentence - "some people think that ....", which is true - I can name at least 1) was proposed by an outside editor to solve the edit war, and accepted by both sides. However, one of my attackers suddenly appeared at the article and instructed the "other side" not to compromise. Further they insisted that compromise would not be tolerated. |
|||
'''Factual correction to SIrubenstein statement''' - FT2 did not revert any of SIrubenstein's edits as claimed. FT2 asked for comment (RFC) on the two versions, as FT2 had no interest in a revert war. |
|||
P.s. one of my accusers on RfC has blocked me because I don't fit his POV, so I can't log in at the moment. This is despite the fact that his blocking violates the [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy]]. |

|||
The following are important points to consider before coming to any conclusions. |
|||
===Counter-points=== |
|||
====Eequor's vandalism==== |
|||
Eequor |
|||
*reverted Mithraism, removing a large amount of additional material, "on principle" not on content, as declared by himself in the edit summary |
|||
*reverted Jesus and Syncretism to some earlier version, on sight not on content, an article which up until that point I was the only editor (aside from about 2 typos), and for which the result of the reversion was to change the presentable version into the half finished mess with parts of other articles littering it |
|||
====Their side started the edit war and violated 3RR first==== |
|||
::If you look at the full history, you will see that I wasn't the one starting the edit war, quite the reverse. Nor was my side the one which crossed the 3 revisions the first time. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:::'''Note''': Someone else starting an edit war or violating Wikipedia's 3RR doesn't give someone else the right to do so as well. [[User:MacGyverMagic|[[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|<sup>[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|(talk)]]</sup>]] 12:48, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC) |
|||
::::'''NOTE''': ONLY I AM ALLOWED TO EDIT THIS SECTION |
|||
::::'''NOTE''':Someone else starting an edit war and violating 3RR and then going "you broke 3RR and should be banned" is hypocrisy. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 18:10, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Invalidity of a poll to determine factual accuracy of the use of Koans==== |
|||
:The poll was invalid since an opinion poll cannot determine what truth is. And I was the 2nd to engage in the poll. The only other person at that point was the above commenter. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Edit histories on articles that were only edited by me==== |
|||
:::[[Jesus and syncretism]] and [[historicity of Jesus]] was an article written only by me. If comments in the edit history are personal attacks, they could only be to myself. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 23:42, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
==== How stupid is the idea of the sky being held up by 4 pillars ==== |
|||
::And that is not stupid? If you think the sky being held up by 4 pillars isn't stupid then Im quite willing to retract the comment. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:::No response needed for this, really but: What is "the sky"... just exactly what is it? Once you settled on that answer...: What does the phrase "hold up the sky" mean? What does "pillar" mean in this context? ... ok, going a little bit deeper, what does CheeseDreams believe "holds up the sky"? and how would you explain that to someone who might not have as sophisticated of an understanding of what holds up the sky as CheeseDreams does? I'm really trying to remind CheeseDreams that these stories are not meant to be modern science, they are explanations that were easy to understand. Of course "everyone knows now that" the pillars actually ''keep the earth from floating up'', right?[[User:Pedant|Pedant]] 00:36, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC) |
|||
====Filling 1 category with pages, and commenting on their state==== |
|||
:The "mass edits" w.r.t. "biblical stories" are a result of filling a category quickly, and noting the lack of NPOV or the mess on the pages as I went through them. The choice of tag was not arbitrary, nor was it identical, as can be seen by comparing the edit histories in question. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] |
|||
====Opposition to disambiguating Sol Invictus==== |
|||
::The opposition |
|||
::(a) only appeared AFTER the change |
|||
::(b) was a result of the fallacy that Mithras Sol Invictus is Elagabablus Sol Invictus (since the former occasionally appears without the first word, and did so in the article, but in a manner clearly pointing to its nature as being the former) |
|||
[[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 23:45, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Restoring the disambiguation of Sol Invictus after reversions "on principle" (rather than on content) by Yoshiah ap==== |
|||
Yoshiah's reversions were vandalism. Completely ignoring the reasoning behind the change, and doing so immediately without regard to any justification. In addition, the above also undid the ADDITION of a substantial portion of material to the related article Mithraism, including a previously unknown section on Mithraeum. This was done by Yoshiah on-sight, and announced as such in the edit history. I regard that behaviour as vandalism. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:47, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====False accusation of unsupported vandalism to Christology==== |
|||
I merged the article into [[Christian views of Jesus]], VfD'd the redundant article, and this was a result of SUPPORT for the idea in WikiProject Jesus. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:47, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:Further, I feel that I ought to point out that Wesley's objection to the change was only made '''after''' I had carried it out. |
|||
:And I am unaware why merging a small article called "X" with the section "X" on the larger article "Y" i.e. at "Y#X" should be considerable as vandalism rather than standard wikipedia practice. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 21:33, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Alleged user page vandalism==== |
|||
::Thats not a diff solely involving me. I have no idea what the codes are for an ellipsis for example. And I was correcting a link after seperating a page into 2 articles. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Keenness to stop an edit war over the word Koan==== |
|||
[[Jesus]] has now been locked, and a sensible solution suggested by Andre-something, which I have accepted the principle of, but Yoshiah and company have rejected. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:13, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Inserting explanation of tags into articles so that Yoshiah was compelled to read them before insisting on his mass "on-principle" revert war==== |
|||
This was done as by that stage I was rather irritated by the completely-against-policy instant removal of NPOV tags from the articles. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====The comments in some of the above are just RfC not complaint==== |
|||
To call the addition of NPOV tags to certain lack-of-NPOV articles vandalism is part of a POV campaign by a group I seem to antagonise to [[personal attack|personally attack]] me |
|||
Specifically, this list include IZAK, Sam Spade, John Garret, Wetman, Yoshiah ap, JDG, Slrubenstein, and Jayjg, who have already clashed with me on talk pages before, they stalk my edits, and could hardly be considered uncontroversial themselves. I have made over 2000 edits, on articles whose POV they treasured, my alteration of some of them to NPOV undoubtably would have irritated them. |
|||
Their comments are part of a campaign of vengence. |
|||
I would like their edits scruitinised. I note that many already have arbitration against them. If not all. |
|||
====So-called attempts at reasoning==== |
|||
Comments left on my talk page by the protagonists above were more like an attempt at silencing me, than an attempt at compromise, or trying to understand my POV.[[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:38, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
Llyrwch's comment is not about a general characteristic, but specifically with regard to JDG's antagonism on the [[Talk:Cultural and historical background of Jesus]], and connected to my request to have him mediate a dispute about that specific page. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:36, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:'''Note:''' Exchanges during mediation are not intended as material in any other case, ''unless'' the parties involved agree to it. My intent was to ask CheeseDreams to moderate her behavior, in order to improve her position in this mediation; I am sorry that she misunderstood these words & my intent. -- [[User:Llywrch|llywrch]] 20:51, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
==== Non-failure of mediation ==== |
|||
Mediation only started within the last week, the mediator has been ill, and has not done much mediation. IT HAS NOT FAILED. '''IT IS STILL ONGOING''' |
|||
It is bearing false witness and a '''lie''' to claim that this is the case. |
|||
==== ViP is actually a duplicate of this group of harrassers ==== |
|||
The Vandalism in Progress report is infact merely a reiteration of some of the accusations above, made by exactly the same group of people.[[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:36, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:this is false. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VIP#CheeseDreams] if you will look at this you will see that I am the one who put you on Vandalism in Progress. I'm not part of any "group of harrassers". On the article in question, I believe that I have made no edits whatsoever. I'm not a sockpuppet: I'm within the top 700 editors, with respect to edit number. I frequently talk to you on your User talk page, and you have several times asked for my help or advice on my talk page. I'm certainly not your enemy. Your behaviour isyour enemy... and it's not too late to change. It's up to you: do you want to resolve these issues amicably or through controversy and dispute? It seems to me you picked a bunch of christians to bully around and expected them to turn the other cheek forever. This isn't an attack, either CheeseDreams, just advice from a friend.[[User:Pedant|Pedant]] 15:34, 2004 Dec 4 (UTC) |
|||
::It is true, not false. The VIP you point to is in fact a completely different one to the one being referred to, and I don't regard you as part of the group of harrassers. This is the VIP they refer to [[Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress/CheeseDreams controversy]] [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 18:17, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====[[User:Nasse|Nasse/Piglet]] looks like a sock puppet==== |
|||
::According to their remarkably recent edit history, this user seems to be a sock puppet. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 08:41, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====[[User:195.91.72.74|195.91.72.74/John johnson]]==== |
|||
This user (User:195.91.72.74) is new, and has every indication of being a sock puppet according to their edit history - this is almost the first thing they made comment on.[[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 00:36, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:I stand by my claim of sock puppetry in this case. I find it remarkably obvious based on their edit history, and their ever-so-obvious attempt at poor editing style (e.g. improper signature, lower case initial letters, etc.). [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 21:36, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====The cabal isn't neutral==== |
|||
If you think the cabal are NPOV editors, view their contributions. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 00:13, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====This is what actually happened with the CfD ==== |
|||
[[User:Aranel]] who counted up the tally stated |
|||
:''Overall, then, the results were 15% rename, 20% keep without renaming, and 65% delete. (Note: If I were to add my own vote, which would be delete, the total would be precisely 2/3, the generally accepted margin for rough consensus according to Wikipedia:Deletion policy. '''I have not done this''' '' |
|||
(my emphasis) |
|||
Since it failed to get the 2/3 (just) it survived CfD. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 23:56, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC) |
|||
===Character witnesses for CheeseDreams=== |
|||
====Anthony DiPierro==== |
|||
I'd just like to mention that I don't think that there is anything wrong with "adding <nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki>,<nowiki>{{NPOV}}</nowiki>, and <nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki> tags to 50+ pages that he had never worked on". I've probably done this to over 100 pages. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|anthony]] [[User:Anthony_DiPierro/warning|警告]] 19:38, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====FT2==== |
|||
I only really know CheeseDreams ("CD") from the article [[Cultural and historical background of Jesus]]. In that article, CD has certainly edited in a manner that has caused some people to see him as an overzealous editor, as was said above. I think that's actually quite a fair comment. He also has escalated small molehills into mountains by over reacting rather than calmness, and assuming matters have been taken (or meant) as insults which were not actually so. |
|||
What bothers me is that taken item at a time, some of the "evidence" and some of CD's edits seem actually not at all unreasonable. Examples: |
|||
*Quite a few of his reverts have actually been to ''restore'' an article perhaps over zealously edited by others, rather than to impose his own version. Since radical edits when an article is still in dispute tend to lead to problems, it's hard to fault what has often been the an attempt to be constructive in the ''maintenance'' of a stable version against others who add large edits and/or themselves may break the reverts rules. |
|||
*Both sides ignored requests and polls in that article. |
|||
*Comments such as quoted, that some counter arguments are "pathetic", some early attempts "stupid" and some psalms "stupid" when you read them, are not personal attacks of any kind! A layperson not of any religion, reading a statement "heaven is held up from earth by 4 pillars" may well say "thats stupid". ''However'', it could have been said more tactfully though (see above about "over reacting". Toning it down, gentling it, would help. |
|||
*Adding tags is not an invalid act to add a tag saying that "this article or section needs cleanup". Presumably it will not affect the article negatively. Adding comments on the talk pages would help if he didnt, but thats not going to make adding a "cleanup" tag vandalism. Maybe CD likes to help Wikipedia improve by highlighting potentially improvable articles for others. Some do. |
|||
As for more specific allegations I can't comment, not being familiar with those pages. Relaxing a little would help, but I think he is trying to do good, he has tried to support others quite often but when others argue he sometimes has over reacted back. "Chill all round guys!" :) [[User:FT2|FT2]] 23:52, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC) |
|||
====Sunborn==== |
|||
R.e. Jesus and koans. |
|||
:each "side" of the dispute only gets 3 reverts. Both parites are in vialation of this "rule". I believe in the removal of the word ''koan'' from [[Jesus]], true koans were not associated with "mainstream" Christianity, but some Gnostic writings exhibit koan-like sayings. Just my 0.02$. --[[User:Sunborn|{{User:Sunborn/sig}}]] 06:19, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
|||
==== duncharris ==== |
|||
I'm going to stand up for the kid a too. I've only come across him in creationism/evolution articles. I don't condone all of his behaviour and am worried that he's been trolling a bit. He's quite similar to Sam Spade, and could be a lot more diplomatic. I am however concerned that there are elements within Wikipedia who are being subversive and attacking him because of his philosophical views. [[User:Duncharris|Dunc]]|[[User talk:duncharris|☺]] 12:11, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) |
|||
==== Rebroad ==== |
|||
I don't know CheeseDreams very well, but I would say that I don't understand much of the evidence of the disputed behaviour. |
|||
*Regarding point 3, where is the evidence of personal attacks? I don't see the examples constituting this. |
|||
*Point 2, I see that CheeseDreams did indeed vote, so don't see the issue here. |
|||
*Point 4, what policies or guidelines have not been followed here? |
|||
*Point 5 requires a better link to show behavoir being claimed. |
|||
*Point 6, not obvious vandalism. What policies or guidelines are related to this behavior? |
|||
*Point 7, what policy does this breach? I'd like to know this for future reference! |
|||
*Point 8, this is clearly naughty behaviour. What is the policy for such one-off incidents? |
|||
*Point 9, same as point 7. |
|||
I am amazed this is still listed on RfAR considering the disputed behavior does not appear to have been established. |

==== Mpolo ==== |
|||
I don't know which section to write in, as I have had a wide range of experiences with CheeseDreams, but I think this spot is better. Cheese has made some valuable contributions to controversial articles that have improved their quality greatly. However, he has also escalated edit wars and often refuses to provide evidence for his edits. I think that both sides need to give one another a bit of slack -- Cheese should lay off/be more flexible when confronted about controversial changes, and the rest of us should be willing to read what he has written and save the good (of which there is a lot), rather than mindlessly reverting. The namecalling needs to stop on both sides as well. (Note, I've been out of town for a couple of weeks and haven't looked at the most recent state of affairs.) [[User:Mpolo|Mpolo]] 20:32, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:It appears that CheeseDreams's confrontationalism has escalated somewhat in the last two weeks. I just saw where she was accusing [User:Wesley] of a POV crusade (He has in fact been chased away from at least one other article by the Slrubenstein-CheeseDreams war) because he pointed out a flaw in her rewrite of [Historicity of Jesus]. I'm still here in the "character witnesses" section, but I am wavering close to moving into the "supporting the summary" section. But for now, I'll trust that she has been having a bad day... [[User:Mpolo|Mpolo]] 20:49, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC) |
|||
::The sentence of mine in question is "that sentence seems POV because ....", I really don't see how that can be construed as "you are acting out a POV crusade". Please explain. [[User:CheeseDreams|CheeseDreams]] 19:57, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC) |

Note that the editor of the 1st two instances of vandalism also vandalised other pages, such as making [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Homosexuality&oldid=7009139&diff=7009196 this edit] |

Not that its a "dead giveaway", but, the only person to refer to me as "CheeseCake" (see the first link) has been [[User:Nasse|Piglet]] .The 3rd vandalism refers to the same derogatory comment as the first, allowing the two users to be equated.

Case Opened on December 10, 2004
Please do not edit this page directly if you are not a participant in this case. Comments are very welcome on the Talk page, and will be read, in full. Evidence, no matter who can provide it, is very welcome at /Evidence. Evidence is more useful than comments.
Arbitrators will be working on a proposed decision at /Proposed decision.
The parties
Complaint by User:Snowspinner against User:CheeseDreams. Additional complaints were filed by User:Cool Hand Luke and User:Slrubenstein and possibly others, see talk page.
Statement of complaint
Snowspinner
Since the other arbitration request is utterly unclear on who's asking who for what, I'll make this simple. I request arbitration against User:CheeseDreams for total failure to edit with any Wikiquette, repeated POV warrioring, personal attacks, and generally making the Wikipedia a harder place to edit.
A great deal (Probably more than any sane person wants to read) of information is at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/CheeseDreams, but I'll throw some pertinant edit links here.
He is prone to inflammatory edit summaries such as [1]. He puts dispute tags on articles without discussion and without any effort to fix the problems, often doing so on articles he has never edited prior to dispute tagging, such as [2]. He has engaged in vandalism on talk pages as in [3] (He changes "tastes" to "testes." He engages in POV warrioring such as trying to move the page Cultural and historical background of Jesus to Historical reconstruction of the sort of person Jesus would be, which implies that Jesus was not a real person - an inappropriate implication for an article title.
I specifically request a temporary injunction that will block CheeseDreams from edits to religion-related articles at the very least, if not from all articles until the conclusion of this case.
I believe mediation will prove fruitless in this case based on the discussion on Talk:Cultural and historical background of Jesus, specifically in the "Status of Mediation" section in which he declares a mediator biased basically for failing to totally agree with him, and withdraws from the mediation process. (This was not a formal mediation process, but it still does not bode well for mediation.) Furthermore, CheeseDreams is engaging in this behavior over far too many articles with far too many users to consolidate into a mediation case - to do so would only put out one or two fires when there's a lot more that needs to be kept under control. Snowspinner 04:56, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
To clarify, I am making a general request for arbitration against CheeseDreams for widespread and problematic editing and conduct. Since one of the reasons for rejection or abstention in the previous arbitration request regarding CheeseDreams was that the case was too confusingly laid out, I am specifically avoiding drenching the arbcom in evidence. I have moved all requests that were ammended to mine to User:Snowspinner/CheeseDreams where they can sit until they are adapted for Evidence, or where an arbitor can look at them if so inclined. However, I'd like to keep this case request simple and direct. Snowspinner 19:09, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

Slrubenstein
I (Slrubenstein) would like to add a request for arbitration, specifically concerning two articles: Cultural and historical background of Jesus, and a set of articles entitled Jesus in a cultural and historical background and Historical reconstruction of the sort of person Jesus would be.
Concerning the first article The first article was originally a section of Jesus [4]; when the Jesus article became too long it was made a daughter article. I am one of several editors who has worked on it. In late October or early November CheeseDreams began working on the article. I questioned many of her edits, which I believed were inaccurate or unverifiable; she began reverting my changes. During this period she often called for votes -- in my opinion, substituting votes for discussion (there is a clear pattern, when a vote supports her view she demands that the vote be considered established consensus; when the vote does not support her position she explains that votes do not determine the truth). By November 2 we were in a revert war. Many of the differences between our versions were stylistic, but some were substantive: CheeseDreams refered to the area as "Palestine" although at the time in question Romans and Jews refered to Judea and the Galilee separately; CheeseDreams insisted that there were many messianic groups, among them Mandeanists, but there is no evidence for this and when I asked CheeseDreams to verify her claims, she refused. Here are the two versions: [5]. On Nov, 3 the page was protected. On Nov. 18 it was unprotected, and a new editor, FT2, revised the article and attempted to incorporate as much material from the discussion as possible [6]. I felt that FT2's version was a good start given the previous conflicts on the talk page, but was poorly organized and included many claims that were inaccurate; moreover FT2's article had explicit gaps where FT2 did not know the appropriate information. Striving to keep as much material from FT2's version as possible, I revised the article: [7]. I spent the better part of the day Nov. 19th working on the article and made over 50 edits, using the edit summary for each one to explain what I was doing [8]. During this period CheeseDream periodically reverted all of my edits without any explanation. On Nov. 20th FT2 made a series of edits which I believe left the artice in even worse condition -- very poorly organized, and replete with factual inaccuracies. I posted a list of over a dozen problems with FT2's version on the talk page [9], went back to my last version, and spent the better part of the 22nd working on the article making substantial additions of verifiable and NPOV content, leading to this version [10]. At that point, CheeseDreams and Amgine took turns reverting my work -- with the effect of deleting much content I had added -- and without any explanation or justification. They did not respond to my list of problems with FT2s version, and did not post any specific criticisms of my version (Amgine did provide some explanations/examples of problems at one point). Here is John Kenney's analysis of the revert war: [11]. Fundamentally, FT2s version was replete with inaccurate and unverifiable information; I have done considerable research and added verifiable, accurate content which CheeseDreams and others kept reverting. Theresa Knott protected the article on Nov. 23. Since that time, I have continued to try to suggest substantive, verifiable, relevant changes to the article (e.g. [12] and [13]). CheeseDream simply rejects every edit I have made or proposed. CheeseDream never provides any substantive reason for rejecting my work (she simply doesn't like it), and CheeseDream refuses to justify her changes to me, or to provide evidence or sources. In short, FT2 and I simply disagree about organization (he prefers topical, I prefer chronological), but most other contributors prefer my organization. CheeseDream rejects any work I do and reverts it.
On November 14 I requested mediation in my conflict with CheeseDreams, Amgine, and FT2 [14]. Amgine and CheeseDream would nat accept anyone I nominated as mediator. They choose Llywrch. Llywrch attempted mediation, but Amgine and CheeseDream expressed dissatisfaction and then rejected him as mediator. By this time I was communicating more constructively with Amgine and FT2, but still could not communicate with CheeseDreams. I made a second request for mediation [15], but no one volunteered to be mediator, and CheeseDream (who had stated that she would not accept anyone I nominated) did not nominate anyone. Llywrch suggested we go to arbitration. CheeseDream has often suggested arbitration, as has John Kenny.
I would like CheeseDreams banned from the article. I can find no good contribution to the article by her -- she has never improved the clarity of the prose, and has never added verifiable content; she only disrupts mine and others' attempts to improve the article.
Concerning the talk page of the first article Wikipedia talk pages often get too long. Wikipedia policy is to archive material. We archived a good deal of the discussion. CheeseDreams summarized this discussion and placed it back into the article. This is bad for two reasons: first, her summary is biased; she rewrites what others said and condenses arguments to support her views. Second, her summaries are very long and defeat the purpose of archiving. I archived her summary. Over the past several days she continues to move archived material back into the article; I put it back in the archive; she puts it back in the article. This defeats the purpose of the archives, and makes the talk page excessively long (160 kilobytes long!).
Concerning the other two articles In the second article, CheeseDream simply copied the first (protected) article and gave it a new title, Jesus in cultural and historical background. Someone put in a redirect to the original page Cultural and historical background of Jesus. CheeseDream reverted that and eight other attempts to redirect it. When I redirected and protected the redirect, CheeseDream accused me of abusing my sysop powers. At the request of another editor I unprotected it. CheeseDream reverted it and instituted a complaint at RfC against me. See [16], and [17]. John K. redirected and protected the page, and CheeseDream created a new namespace (Historical reconstruction of the sort of person Jesus would be) with the same old article content that is Cultural and historical background of Jesus. I redirected and protected the page. She claims that this creation of two or three separate namespaces for the same article content is in the spirit of compromise, and I believe that this is laughable on its face. Presumably, the compromise would be that the original article (Cultural and historical background of Jesus) would be reverted to the form she likes, leaving me to enjoy the form I like. There are three reasons why this is not a good-faith compromise. First, I know of no example in wikipedia where a conflict over an article was resolved by having two versions of the article. Our goal should be one verifiable NPOV article for one topic or issue, not several articles on the same topic, different only in representing the views of a different editor. This smacks in the face of everything Wikipedia stands for and is a bad precedent. Second, CheeseDreams' move is disingenuous because she added all sorts of tags (neutrality and accurcacy under dispute) to the second copy of the article. In other words, she simply wishes to continue the arguments she has had with me over the original article, at a second space. Third, the article she favors is still, in the mind of me and several other editors, deeply flawed and will continue to be questioned and worked on.
I do not know if this is a bannable offense -- it certainly is in my opinion trolling. I believe it requires some sort of strong disciplinary action. Slrubenstein
