[Foundation-l] Accuracy required

[Virgilio A. P. Machado]

Still practicing, after all these years.

 From the information provided to this list, it is reasonable to 
assume that other wikipedians, besides this one, have been dealt with 
by other arbcomcs, besides the pt.wiki arbcom, by their real names, 
like Virgilio A. P. Machado, NOT their user names, like Vapmachado.

This page lists existing arbcoms: 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_Committee

For reasons of the utmost importance, not only to this user but to 
the communities at large, the assistance of the members of this list 
is asked in helping identifying as many of those cases as possible.

This request for assistance is made, due to the dauting task of 
searching each and everyone of the arbcoms archives to find those 
examples. If readers provide information from the arbcoms with which 
they are most familiar, this could be a fine example of cooperative 
work. Given the assumption above, it is expected that the list member 
who classified the original sentence as "extremely inaccurate" would 
have no difficulty whatsoever in providing at least another example. 
The cooperation of the other readers would also help to justify the 
use of "extremely inaccurate." The mere occurrence of another case 
hardly justifies classifying an accuracy of 50 % as "extremely inaccurate."

Please remember to provide a link to each case you may identify and 
would be so kind as to contribute to the gathering of that 
information. My own case can be found here:

and

Thank you so very much for your cooperation and understanding.

Sincerely,

Virgilio A. P. Machado (Vapmachado)
The one that can be fooled by some people all of the time, by all the 
people some of the time, but not all of the people, all of the time.
