Did anyone even get my message about Kurt Kawohl and such? I don't want to
look like I expect everyone to react significantly to everything I say, but
I'm rather surprised at there being absolutely no responses. Ban talk
usually prods several people into talking.

Historical note: EntmootsOfTrolls as 142.177 gave me an implied death threat
before (along with some hideous slander that has since been nuked completely
from the database) and he, as user '24', threatened Larry Sanger with great
bodily harm. This seems to be a tactic of his in order to win arguments and
get his way by trying to scare his opponents.
The hard ban on 142.177 was never lifted, BTW. I and others simply got tired
of enforcing it. So RickK, if he is breaking our rules again, then by all
means enforce the hard ban by reverting all his edits from now on. I simply
don't have time anymore.
PS: EntmootsOfTrolls admitted on Jimbo's talk page to being 142.177 and the
case for 24 being 142.177 is in the 'beyond reasonable doubt' range. But
142.177 was hard banned for what he did at that IP range alone.

User 143.93.17.21 is adding a reference to summer seminars at the European
Graduate School in many articles (mainly related to film director).
I think this is mainly advertising and I have reverted some. What's your
advice.

I don't think any such promise was made: see Jimbo's post at
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-September/006469.html
Quoth he: "I don't really care what name he uses as long as it's consistent."

So, is this happening? What username is Adam editing under?

That's nonsense. The reasons stated were not only
convincing, they always have been STANDARD WIKIPEDIA
POLICY.
It is a clear violation of Wikipedia NPOV and naming policy
to make an exact copy of an article we already have,
retitle it, and then edit it to push your own political and
religious views. People may not create their own private
encyclopedias within Wikipedia which bypass our normal peer
review process.
If someone doesn't like the article on [[Flowers]], or on
[[History]] or on [[Islamism]], they are welcome to work
with others in editing it and improving it. But they may
not copy this article, and make their own POV version of
it, and set up their private enyclopedia within Wikipedia.
This is hardly "not convincing". This is the standard
Wikipedia policy that all of us have always followed from
the beginning. If people like EntmootsOfTrolls find
themselves unable to follow our NPOV policy, and unable to
work with others in reaching a consensus, then they should
stay away from those articles altogether.

I (Gustavf) believe I have become involved in an edit war over a small
detail on the [[Norway]] page with user Heine. Could an administrator
please take a look at it and decide if the page needs protection.
If the page is protected a small note on the talk page would be
appreciated.

Mine was very good thank you. We were celebrating my
son birthday :-)
I am glad you gave your opinion and will think about
it.
I must say I am a bit bothered by your "there is no
way I will accept this essay, and I don't want this
article protected". As I already say, the previous
article was interesting, but fell short of many
explanations.
Incidentally, I noticed your name (I suppose it is
your name not last name). Is it from jewish origin ?
Is it female or male name ?

Two items, the first leading to the second.
Shortly after cleaning up the botched-HTML mess of links under
[[Transcendentalist Hypothesis of the Fourth Dimension]] on VFD, I saw that
someone at 68.5.127.81 had removed all comments about said page there. I
reverted, and checked his user contributions: He'd previously posted Kurt
Kawohl's everything2 spiel to [[Talk:Transcendentalism]] and made some
comments on the talk page of THOTFD consistent with Kawhol's writing. Most
recently, he'd removed the VFD notice from THOTFD (and later blanked it
entirely). I reverted, he reblanked a few times. I tracerouted the ip, and
it came out to a cox.net address in Irvine, CA. Kurt Kawohl lives in
southern CA and has a cox.net email address. With the deletion of comments
from VFD and attempting to remove VFD notice from that page, and his not
having contributed -anything- to Wikipedia other than posting his rambling
essays, I'm thinking ban. At the least, he needs to be informed that his
behavior is unacceptable, and he's rapidly heading towards a ban.
This was either the second or the third time I've had a back-and-forth
reversion issue with an anon (I call them that, despite the irony- one's IP
gives away much more than a login- but I digress) vandal... I find it rather
irritating to not be able to simply stop them, and this has led me to do
something I've been meaning to do for a little while (holding off because I
felt that I was too new): requested adminship on [[WP:RFA]].
Anyhow. Just thought'd I'd mention all that.
