This is to inform you that post unanimous evident consensus at ANI, you are indefinitely topic banned by the community from aspartame/alternative medicine topics, broadly construed. Standard UNBAN conditions apply. Thank you, Lourdes 12:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Lourdes:, so I understand, I cannot:
- 1. edit any pages, including articles and talk pages, on aspartame or alternative medicine
- 2. edit parts of unrelated pages that pertain to aspartame or alternative medicine
- I can:
- 3. edit tangentially associated, but clearly separate, pages such as sugar, for example (as long as it does not conflict with 2.)
- Is this correct and am I missing anything? Thanks. Chamaemelum (talk) 19:42, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Chamaemelum, I have reopened the discussions as two editors enquired about expanding the scope of the ban. Thanks, Lourdes 04:43, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Got it. Do you have any insight as to if my above understanding of what the ban means is correct? Thanks. Chamaemelum (talk) 04:50, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- If the community's trend goes worse, you won't be able to edit any articles related to medicine. I would suggest to wait for the final community decision. Thanks, Lourdes 04:56, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023[edit]
- Hi @Lourdes, reading the ban policy, it mentions consensus of uninvolved editors of having the ability to impose a ban. Every editor who supported a site ban was involved, so no uninvolved editors voiced support for a site-ban. Are there different process guidelines that I'm missing? Chamaemelum (talk) 18:40, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- I was not involved and I supported a siteban. Combefere ★ Talk 21:24, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Combefere This is true; I missed it at the time. You're the only one. Either way, one or zero editors doesn't seem like an uninvolved consensus. Chamaemelum (talk) 21:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- I was not involved and I supported a siteban. Combefere ★ Talk 21:24, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Chamaemelum, please write down the names of editors you believe are involved and at least one diff against each name showing evidence of involvement. Once you do that, I / any administrator will take your request/assessment to ANI and let the community decide on that. Thank you, Lourdes 18:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Lourdes Separately, I've done some reading but I still have a couple questions on what the site ban means. Am I strictly under all possible circumstances banned from editing all other pages except my own talk page, including whatever forum is used to appeal a ban? (I know there is a way to do it on the talk page as well.)
- You are banned from the full site, except this talk page.
- Can I send "thanks" to users? (In a non-spammy, constructive way.)
- No.
- Can I participate in ongoing administrative-esque discussions about me? For example, there is currently a sockpuppet investigation against me [1].
- Yes, by posting your statements here and pinging any admin active at that page; they will copy your statements there. Lourdes 06:45, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
I would like to add a comment saying that although I am banned, the investigation may still be useful because I'm planning to appeal the ban at the appropriate time, but I won't add it if I'm not allowed. Chamaemelum (talk) 21:37, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, @Lourdes. Here are the diffs/pages showing involvement:
Names and involvement
|
---|
Zefr: select few of many reverts/talk page discussion: [2] [3] [4] Opinion: “Support WP:TBAN on the aspartame and related articles.” “Support site ban asap.” , takes issue with my editing of “diverse articles”. Rockstone35: unrelated editor who did not voice support for site-ban or medical topic ban. Opinion:”STOP” “Support topic ban for Chamaemelum on aspartame and related articles.” DMacks: multiple others; here are a couple [5] [6] [7] [8] Opinion: “Siteban.” Psychologist Guy: around 7 different articles, including: [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] Opinion: Support WP:TBAN due to “behaviour on the Aspartame article and talk-page”, the discussion he was involved in. Then “Support siteban”. Valjean: e.g., [15] [16] [17] [18] Opinion: “Support topic ban from Aspartame and Alternative medicine topics.” “needed yesterday”. “Stop all editing. Just disappear”. ““This editor is a wild bull in a China closet and needs very tight restraints if allowed to edit at all.” * “Support total ban from Wikipedia.” (Note: these comments make it seem that Valjean wants a siteban (as opposed to a topic ban) as a punishment.) Gidonb: multiple comments here [19] (Though we’ve collaborated since then). Opinion: “Support topic ban Imzadi1979: e.g., [20] Opinion: “Support siteban” due to having “reservations and issues with this editor on the Nigerian road PRODs/AfD” SandyGeorgia: e.g.: [21] Opinion: “Support siteban” Nil Einne: uninvolved editor. Opinion: “Support topic ban”, “it's not clear to me a wider topic ban will resolve [issues].” Combefere: uninvolved editor. Opinion: “Support T-Ban for all Medical Topics”, then changed their opinion to “support a total ban” after thinking I was a “paid contributor” or sockpuppet or something. Other clearly involved editors like Draken Bowser, or uninvolved editors, commented but did not voice support for anything. (Even among involved editors, only editors who were against my edits talked on the talk page. Multiple editors (e.g., WhatamIdoing, Little pob, cdh1001, TypistMonkey, many IP addresses), voiced support for my edits but did not see/participate in the discussion.) |
There isn’t a consensus of uninvolved editors: one voiced hesitancy to a ban broader than a topic ban, the other upgraded to site-ban based off of suspicions that I’m a sockpuppet or paid user.
Four of the users based their argument on my ban at least in part on believing I am a blocked sockpuppet user because, which doesn’t seem like a valid reason to count towards consensus.

Note: I’ve cut out the irrelevant parts of comments. “I also have a bad feeling you are a returning banned user.” Psychologist Guy (talk)
You admit to being a returning editor but don't identify which one. Our concern is whether you are evading a block or ban.
Moreover, it is my opinion that this user's edit count and behavior much more resemble a very experienced Wikipedia editor with an agenda than a 3-month old editor learning the ropes and trying to improve the encyclopedia. Combefere ★ Talk Again, this is only my opinion, but it seems like you are more interested in meeting some sort of quota than in collaborating constructively with the rest of the community. It is impossible for any of us to know specifically why you are behaving this way (student assignments? paid contributor? CIR? something else?) Combefere ★ Talk 17:46, 11 July 2023 (UTC) |
