These are my personal notes. Do not attempt discussion on this page.

(Special:Contributions/Sam_Spade)

In January 2006
  • User:Sam Spade tagged pages for merger
  • then same-day he merged them
  • His changes were reverted and discussion was held
  • The discussion was largely a failure, and he pressed his mergers
  • I was flagged down in real life to mediate
February 25, 2006
  • I wrote comments on the talk pages of those involved (non-anonymous users)
  • I wrote an explanation on Talk:Systema, most especially to point towards my original (then-deleted) comment that I broke apart the topics on purpose and they should stay separate.
  • Spade reverted my changes, obviously without reading the talk page.
  • I forced the changes
  • I opened up a case in Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress to report his reversions, and informed him.
  • He came to discuss it, but fell flat at arguing his points. ([1])
    • Quote: Merge tag inserted 06:39, 5 January 2006 [2], merging started 08:02, 5 January 2006 [3], merge tag removed 08:16, 5 January 2006 [4]. Merging announcement at talk page made at 08:13, 5 January 2006
  • I took the time to revise all associated articles, to make them fuller and more distinct.
  • I pointed out on Talk:Systema that my original comment on Talk:Kadochnikov's Systema was mis-used.
  • I took a break
  • Spade opened a case at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal (Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-02-25 Systema) without informing me. I found it by checking Special:Contributions/Sam_Spade to see what other nonsense he was playing at.
  • I commented in Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-02-25 Systema to note his comment on his talk page that appears to point to a resolution.
  • I got a response to my VIP report [5]. Apparently Spade had duped an admin into removing the VIP request. I responded [6]


I'm not entirely sure how my conversation ended up on Wikipedia:Requests for investigation [10], as I never edited this page. It seems to be a duplication of Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress.
