Regarding your comments, that the article Sathya Sai Baba is poorly sourced, I admit that the retrieval dates for web based sources should be added and that the page numbers should be added. I have been trying to improve this in the last few days, but it is a lot of work as the article contains so many citations. I think that the comments regarding poor sourcing falsely suggest that the root cause of the problem is the behavior of the editors while it is more a lack of reputable sources. Apart from that, the subject is overshadowed by legends and swallowed by the hagiographies. For example, apart from Arnold Schulman, another writer also asserts that there is no reliable information about SSB's life, as I will quote from the summary of a German scholarly book Der Gottmensch aus Puttaparthi: Eine Analyse der Sathya-Sai-Baba-Bewegung und ihrer westlichen Anhänger by Katharina Poggendorf-Kakar (English:The Godman from Puttaparthi: an analysis of the Sathya Sai Baba movement and its Western adherents)

English translation: "From a biographical point of view, he is overwhelmed by legends and miraculous stories that derive him as a person from every historicity."

German original: "Biographisches ist von Legenden und Wundergeschichten überlagert, die seine Person jeglicher Geschichtlichkeit berauben."

See here for the threaded discussion with user:Jossi Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Sathya_Sai_Baba_2

I have ordered this German scholarly book, together with some other books recommended by Jossi (Kent and Bowen), though my opinion that the books listed by Jossi are most probably not good sources fo the article Sathya Sai Baba was confirmed after I received the book by Kent.

Regarding your comments that the article should concentrate on facts, it will be clear that I think that there are only few facts about SSB. Some years ago I tried to make a list of facts about his life and I could only list about 15 undisputed facts.

Also, the pivotal article in India Today about SSB (available online) stated that Sathya Sai Baba's "Controversy could well be Sai Baba's middle name." So I do not understand why this controversy cannot be extensively treated in the article. Andries 19:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also want to give you another proof that good sourcing for this article is particularly difficult.

From Nagel's article "Sai Baba as Shiva Shakti" who summarizes an article by the antropologist Lawrence Babb as follows.

• Babb, Lawrence A. “Sathya Sai Baba’s Saintly Play”, in Saints and Virtues, J. S. Hawley (ed.), Berkeley, CA: California University Press, 1987:168-186. The quotation is from p. 173.

"Scholar Lawrence Babb thought it a striking feature that in the narrations about Sathya Sai Baba, his life emerges with

an almost complete elision of individual personhood. What looks at first like life-history turns out to be something quite different: a suppression of unique life-history, and a removal of the life in question from history. At virtually every turn individuating details are subordinated to one timeless mythic paradigm or another. His birth was not a particular birth but the birth of a deity-infant, as evidenced by the resounding of the tambùrã and the cobra under the bedding. His childhood was not a particular childhood but the childhood of a juvenile god, for which the ruling paradigm in India is the early life of Krishna. With the first of the two great disclosures, the image of the magical child is superseded by another – that of the archetypal holy man, as represented by Sai Baba of Shirdi. In the second disclosure this identity, in turn is encompassed within yet another, which is not only wider, but universal. Now he is revealed to be Shiva and Shakti, who together represent the Absolute."

I will try to get the article by Babb (in Hawley's book). Andries 22:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see your order concerns on the RfArbCom page. You imply (if not state) a concern for too many words on the page.

If that is your concern, I agree; In any case, barring cataclysmic new developments, I have nothing more sustentative to add.

I write you privately to set your mind at ease -I don't want to embarrass you in a public argument -we would both look bad, me because I'm small and you because I'm at least partly right in my reply to you.

My only concern (except for the below arbitor reaction) is that people who don't even know me were making false statements about me in the community discussion (that's bad enough), but then action was taken based on LESS than a majority, and certainly not a consensus. (Does consensus policy matter any more, eh?)

What's more irritating, however, is that arbiters, supposedly set up for defending inequities are as guilty of coming to a conclusion without actually reading up on the facts (like provide me ONE diff which shows I've been a bad editor; My mainspace edits are usually not reverted, and my talk page edits are MY right to opine as I see fit, so long as I don't threaten, harass, slander, etc.)

I hope you do as Thatcher suggests here and follow the links! I know I have posted a lot, but several statements by other editors were well-over 500 words, so please indulge me if I go a little over too: I'm being falsely accused!

Did you even read anything that was posted? A whole new section directed solely at the editors was created just for you.

I am writing to object to the tactics of a group of editors and administrators who tightly control Global warming and related articles. Today their tactics have hit a new low and I believe they have improperly breached my family's privacy. [2] Does Wikipedia not want or tolerate a family to be contributors? I would like the three concerned: User:Raul654, User:Raymond Arritt and User:Dragons flight to apologise or be formally disciplined for their renegade actions and disparaging remarks to my family. They have called us sock puppets and meat puppets!! ~ Rameses 05:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a legal threat? If so, please understand that legal threats are immediately blockable on Wikipedia. Please modify your wording above to retract the 'illegal' part or you may be blocked without further warning per WP:NLT. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 05:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I meant illegal in the sense that there was no formal complaint lodged or Wikipedia process followed when this group began using checkuser on my family and publicly publishing the results of their invasive and unauthorized prying. (not in the judical or courts sense) ~ Rameses 05:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the arbcom has decided to ban me for a year. I honestly dont know how this conclusion was reached. I contributed like a good user, never insulted any user and never vandalised any article. The Indian users openly made racist remarks against Pakistanis, Muslims and our Prophet and Literally hijacked Pakistani articles to prevent anyone form editing. If this isnt good enough for you, then let me explain the 2nd major flaw. This arbcom was opened The Day After me and Nadir were unblocked from one of Ramas unfair blocks, and minutes after we tried to complain. It was simply to save himself from our complaint against him. We barely posted a word between the unblock and the complaint, and all the evidence used against us, is old evidence he had already used to ban us before. Not to mention the lousy evidence is the reason we complained against him in the first place. The only thing I see happening here is the arbcom banning the Minority users to solve the problem. Rama started the arbcom and omitted certain Indian users who were the Key causes of this dispute, and this lets them off the hook, even though they have made extremely racist remarks. Why treat me worse than a vandal? The so called evidence used against me doesnt even make sense. Is PoV pushing defined as making suggestions on Talk Pages? I am so shocked by this outcome.
I guess it helps to have a lot of people supporting you blindly. A 6 month punnishment was rejected for a guy who openly insulted the muslim Prophet (by linking him to paedophilia), insulted muslims by comparing slavery to the Hijab, said Pakistanis enjoyed killing people, and clear evidence was shown that he reverts every single edit from other users on Hinduism pages which doesnt fit his PoV. The Arbitrators didnt even suggest punishing any Indian users. Instead, a proposal to give all Pakistani users bans were put forward.
I dont know what has happened here. I really want to discuss this matter with you. I am an honest guy, I have nothing to hide, yet here I am being treated like an obvious vandal who deserves to get banned. In the first month I joined Wiki, I made some minor mistakes. I went through more than 3 weeks of bans by the same admin for this. And now the Same mistakes are giving me another year? Please get back to me. --Unre4Lﺍﹸﻧﺮﮮﺍﻝ ^UT 19:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's late in the case, but I have proposed an additional remedy, article probation here. I think Ilena is correct to be concerned about the behavior of other editors. This case seems to have dragged out of the woodwork several other partisans on alt medicine topics, both pro and con. I agree with Ilena that GigiButterfly (talk · contribs) is an SPA with a likely conflict of interest with respect to Barrett. Shot_info (talk · contribs) appears to be associated [3] with this web site [4] run by an Australian skeptic, that currently hosts a set of parody song lyrics attacking Ilena personally. Several other editors have joined this case on both sides, including Dematt (talk · contribs), I'clast (talk · contribs), Ronz (talk · contribs), and Levine2112 (talk · contribs), although their conduct does not appear to rise to the level of arbitration. I am concerned that once Ilena is banned and Fyslee is topic-banned, other users might take up their crusade. Article probation for the core articles in this case would allow admins to take action to stop disruption without having to go through arbitration again, and limiting it to 6 months would be a good test to see if it is really needed; depending on circumstances it could be extended or allowed to expire accordingly. Thatcher131 20:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced that "article probation" is a good thing, in general. The alt medicine area, as a whole, draws people with unusual points of view and unusual editing behaviors. I'm not sure that this article necessarily deserves more attention than others, and would prefer to evaluate the extent of any remaining problems after the presently proposed remedies are enacted rather than speculate.

First, it was over year ago, and I believe we still had problems with AFD discussions being indexed by Google at that point. Second, because the deletion discussion contained much of the content from the article, it seemed to me to be courteous to the subject's family (who had contacted me) to make the debate less visible. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 12:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would be interested in helping out with that. I tend to pay close attention to what's happening on the village pumps and admin boards (and some other community boards like CN and CENT), along with such things as pointing people to the relevant earlier discussion, and putting overlapping discussions in a central location; so I think I could make myself useful there.

I am plainly not a WP:SPA with respect to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Derek Smart. Please review my edit history if you don't believe me. Also please note these testimonies [6][7] where involved editors attest to this fact.

To further prove my innocence in this matter, I asked Guy, an admin here, to give me advice in how to "clear my name". His response was to edit articles unrelated to Smart. I have done this.

I am being punished for being wrongly accused. Where is the presumption of innocence as laid out in WP:AGF? Where is the consideration of evidence and actions I have cited above? This finding is unfair, and I urge you to take proper steps to correct this mistake.

Thank you for your response to the checkuser request Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Maleabroad. I take it that by "unnecessary", you mean that the account is almost certainly a sock puppet and thus needs no checkuser? That was the approach I took initially, but the user vehemently denied being a sock puppet, which is why I filed the request. If you still think that the account is a sockpuppet, is there any chance you could block it? I defer to your judgment on the checkuser request itself.

Thanks. I believe you've had to point this out to me before. I was struggling to remember the name of the template, couldn't find it after a brief search, and therefore ad libbed instead.

Well, there are times, such as 3RR violations or block evasion by editing while logged out, where a user gives away his own IP address.

Hi UninvitedCompany,
Maybe it's unusual, but there were four rounds of additions to this checkuser request. The third and fourth rounds appear not to have been formatted by a clerk, so I'm not sure they were actually checkusered. It's particularly important that this result not seem to be ambiguously stated.
Could you clarify (on that page) which users/IPs were checkusered according to the question posted on that page?
If they weren't all checkusered previously, could you cross-check the complete list of eight?
Thanks, Milo 07:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At [8]UninvitedCompany, wrote: "Checkuser is not for fishing. Your original hypothesis wasn't supported by the data so I stopped. If you believe you can justify further checks on their individual merits, you may make another request."

Whose original hypothesis? Whose request? Have you confused me (Milo) with the requester (Gene Poole)? I, Milo, am one of Gene's victims. If you didn't read the talk page, there are six user-victims who have been variously cross-accused, and we now have no idea who you actually checked.

Rules are rules, but we have to know what they are, and which ones have been applied. From what you are saying, "Unrelated" seems to be the wrong tag overall, and you have effectively "Declined" the case, since you won't tell us any meaningful partial results.

"important that this result not seem to be ambiguously stated" I previously made this point because Gene exploits the slightest ambiguity. He still denies he was caught with a sock years ago when these infamous oops, dang! edits were discovered [9] [10] and juried [11].

Respectfully, if you don't have time for a non-routine case, who can we appeal to:

• to delete the confused results,

• to start over with Gene's 7 Mar 2007 request,

• to properly finish the clerking,

• to tell us how to or what we can't do in adding usernames/IPs,

and generally to clean up the mess?

Btw, please disambiguate the accidental inference that I might be the requester! Milo 02:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Uninvited Company,

The reason I requested the above checkuser was that User:Rajsingam was indef blocked for personal attacks, and then reappeared as User:Rajkumar Kanagasingam claiming that either someone he gave his password to or someone who hacked into his account made the attacks and he had nothing to do with them. The blocking admin believed him, and let him keep the new account. But since then, he has accused at least 5 other users of trying to hack into his account, and the dispute has spliied over to a number of pages.

I didn't entirely understand what you said, but since the user who made the personal attacks against User:Netmonger and User:FayssalF is indefinitely blocked from Wikipedia, are you saying that User:Rajkumar Kanagasingam should be blocked as well?

Thanks, and I'm sorry to continue to waste your time on this mess, but I just want to clear my name, User:Netmonger's name, User:Kzrulzuall's name and User:RaveenS's name from all of these allegations.--snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 07:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Arbitrator:

Richard Walter seems to have been created with a large amount of false information, perhaps gathered from a phony/ anonymous press release posted at "www.richarddwalter.com". Walters's false testimony was actually confirmed in NY v. Robie Drake. In 2003 and again in 2006 his testimony was determined to be false, misleading and could be presumed perjurious on at least one point (perjury being a very specific type of false testimony) by a fedeal judge.

This is all confirmed in the judge's ruling at: "NY v. Robie Drake" (2006). The acrobat file here was obtained from United States District Court, Western District of New York. Just select judge John Elfvin's rulings for March 2006 re: the Drake case. You'll need to select more than 100 documents per page to see it. Get the drake file.

I editted the many factual inaccurancies in the page with references to the court record online and articles regarding Mr. Walter's false testimony. However an anonymous editor immediately swooped in and removed those edits. I have reverted the page and posted a warning to the anonymous editor. Now Buzzle45 (talk · contribs), an original anonymous creator of this false information page designed to rescue Walters flailing credibility, has stepped in to replace anonymous editor 24.240.17.187 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I am not certain these are two separate individuals.

At any rate, I expected that whoever created the page would change the edits and that this issue would become something that needed an official look - as there are quite a few dedicated and obsessed people determined to keep the actual substance of this court ruling from being public. It hurts Walter, and it hurts more than a few because of their association with him.

Anonymous editor 24.240.17.187 has removed the Richard Walter page at least six times aleady and has also removed this section from the Talk: Richard Walter page at least six times, since 3/18/07 to prevent me from even having a civil discussion about it with others. Buzzle45 (talk · contribs) has done the same. Not exactly actions that are conducive to resolution, let alone communication. They just don't want the ruling public because of their hero worship (that's assuming that one of the individuals is not actually Richard Walter -this a very distinct possibility).

This informaion is not libelous. It is corrective. It is the posting of a court's ruling using the court's own document. The Wikipedia entry currently states that Walters was exonnerated by the judge in the Drake case. This is not just false, it is beligerantly deceptive at this point.

Note please that I am the only person in this dispute who must testify in court on a regular basis, under oath - and that I am also the only one willing to be identified.

As it stands, the article is full of false and bloated information about Walters that is designed to prop him up despite the court ruling - so that those who use Wikipedia as their primary nfo source (and there are many too many) will be misled. It is a disgrace to the professional community, and it is the furtherance of a weakly crafted fraud.

Do not hesitate to contact me for further assistance.

The registered editor in doubt, Otheus, posted a desire for his name to be cleared at ANI. I've included appropriate links and diffs at the checkuser request. Your attention would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Durova^Charge! 03:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded :) --Otheus 15:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand. The question is, is an established "user in good standing" behind this? If so, who is it? dab (𒁳) 11:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You just removed this request from the Checkuser pending page. Why did you do this as it is still pending? regards--SameBatTime 18:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it to the non-compliant page. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 19:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, what was "non-compliant" about it? how do I make it comply and how do I put a stop to this guy? regards--SameBatTime 19:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. Do not include IP addresses in the list of things to check.
2. Cite only one code letter.
3. Provide the diffs the code letter requires.

Thats not really helpful - I mean the system not you, I listed it over a week ago now!--SameBatTime 19:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have tweaked it and tidied it up. Is it looking OK now.--SameBatTime 19:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to get the clerks to be more involved in getting the requests formatted properly and helping people through the tests. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused about what to do with people who are possible sockpuppets of SEGA (talk · contribs). I had previously filed three cases at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/SEGA, all which led to being confirmed and resulted in bans of some 40+ sockpuppets (shown at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of SEGA). What was done differently in those cases than this one? Where do I list these people to get checked? There have been even more edits by these new users over the last few days that parallel SEGAs other sockpuppets.
