Hello, I'm 331dot. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) personon Oliver James (psychologist), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Hi Singleton4321! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Oliver James (psychologist) several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Oliver James, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you.

Thanks for this advice. Is one or both of you a Wikipedia Editor? I am going to take the trouble to try and understand how wikipedia works as the entries currently are wilfully and maliciously misleading. If I offer a fully referenced alternative, is there a way for it to be considered, or does it have to be put forward by a third party? One outrageous example of the present deliberate smearing of me is the claim that I am not registered at the Bowlby Centre or as a chartered psychologist. The reference for the Bowlby Centre is to therapists there who want to be contacted by clients, it is not a list of who is registered at the Centre. I am listed now as a therapist at the Centre: https://thebowlbycentre.org.uk/locator/ Re the Chartered Psychologist link, it is to the HCPC website, one at which I am not registered. Whoever put this link there will have known perfectly well that I am not registered there. In fact, it is with the UKCP, you can find me on their website https://psychotherapy.my.site.com/DirectoryApi__Directory?autonumber=SD-00000003&site=a0d24000001VW3nAAG
I remain mystified by how Wikipedia works: how can it permit these wilfully misleading links to encourage the reader to suspect that a practicing clinician is a fraud. I suspect a lawyer would regard this as a serious offence?
Another example is the account given of my television career. It picks on a few of the many programmes I made, I am not quite sure why it picks those ones. The truth is these are the programmes which I produced, assistant produced or presented, 1982-2003: Under Fives (ITV, 1982), The Man Who Shot John Lennon (ITV, 1988), Men On Violence (ITV, 1988), 2 series of Room 113 for Network 7 (C4, 1987/8), The Last Day (C4, 1990), Wot U Lookin At? (BBC Horizon, 1992), Prisoner 4235 (BBC 40 Minutes, 1992), Rape (BBC 40 Minutes, 1992), Prozac Diary (BBC Late Show, 1995), The Chair (BBC2, 1997), Britain on the Couch (C4 series 1998), Affairs of the Heart (C4 2000), Through The Eyes of the Child (ITV This Morning, 2 series, 2002-3). I can provide links to many of these whole programmes on youtube. So why does the creator of my misleading wikipedia choose to delete all these and replace them with some of my least significant ones? Also, why is there nothing about my journalism? I wrote columns for nearly all the national newspapers. eg I did columns for both the Guardian and Observer, as well as numerous features and opinion pieces (see https://www.theguardian.com/profile/oliverjames), in all about 250 pieces: why were references to these and the columns I did for the Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Express, Independent and Financial Times all deleted? It would not be hard to substantiate these. If you are an editor, can I suggest that you do whatever you do to stop whoever is doing this to my entry and let me offer you an alternative?

I have referred to you in only a very few places; I can't reply for 331dot. It should be obvious to you, from all those edits (and indeed this one) that I am an editor here.

I wrote 'the numerous places to which you and 331dot have referred me', meaning places on wikipedia, such as vandalism etc. I do not understand how you can have interpreted me to have meant references to me by what i wrote - I did not write 'referred TO me', just 'referred me'. Quite often you seem to misunderstand my communications to you, I wonder why that is? Have you written any of the misleading original wikipedia entries which I am now having to correct?

Singleton4321, you have commented at Talk:Oliver James (psychologist) as follows: "I do have other things to do with my time than trying to correct your vandalism. When and if I get enough time, don't worry, the case will be made and I hope it leads to your being banned as an editor." I maintain that your continued accusations of "vandalism" at that article are wholly unfounded. And I kindly request again that you withdraw such accusations. Perhaps 331dot could offer a third party opinion on this, before we progress to a report at WP:AN/I.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence [1]. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you.

Singleton4321, looking at your edit history I see that you opened your account at Wikipedia 10 years ago. You made 10 edits to 4 different articles and then made 2 edits to Affluenza and 4 edits to Oliver James (psychologist). In May 2022 you made 8 edits, to Oliver James (psychologist) and at Wikipedia:Teahouse. Since returning to editing, in September this year, all of your edits have been associated with the Oliver James article. It seems that you are not really interested in improving the encyclopaedia as a whole, but just the one article about yourself. So I think it's fair to ask what is your motivation here. Is it to be part of the wider editing community, or is simply to promote your own interests, through this one article, as described at Wikipedia:Single-purpose account?

Per consensus at the administrator's noticeboard (link), the following topic ban has been enacted:
"Singleton4321 (talk·contribs) is topic-banned from Oliver James (psychologist), broadly construed. While this topic ban extends to anything related to Oliver James on any page on the project (by virtue of being 'broadly construed'), I am also placing a pblock from the main article and main article talk page as proactive enforcement."

Hi Daniel. Unfortunately, I have only just discovered this ban, all the emails alerting me to it having been sent to my junk and me having had a much earned holiday from this following what I thought would be a decisive post regarding the ideological bias of the editors on that page - why is that post no longer on that page? It seems I cannot respond to it but I have not had a chance to. How should I go about objecting reopening it?

You received multiple talk page messages while the thread was open, and you were actively editing during this time. You cannot be in involved with editing or discussing the topic of Oliver James anywhere on Wikipedia, including talk pages. Please edit in other topic areas. Details regarding appealing are in my original post above.

After I posted the ideological bias topic, as far as I know I didn't make any more edits or visits to the talk pages - during the time when the ban was being executed, as far as I know, I didn't go on wikipedia? Perhaps you have evidence to the contrarty -that i was actively editing during the time the ban was being carried out? Why did you not answer my simple question: why is that ideological bias post no longer on the talk page? I suspect its possible its because it was true and the ban is an attempt to stop this bias being known. You might find it interesting to read about Winston Smith's job in the Ministry of Truth in 1984 - just by deleting the ideological bias post, or allowing that to happen, you are seriously tampering with the truth...

You should not be discussing this, even on this page. Instructions on how you can appeal are linked to above. Wikipedia is a private entity, not the state, so comparisons to 1984 are off base.

You don't have to have been actively editing when the community decided to impose the topic ban in order for them to have done so.

I pointed out that all the notifications went to my junk during the time of the banning, so I was unable to respond. Daniel replied that 'you were actively editing during this time.' I asked him for evidence thereof, he has provided none, nor have you. Therefore, I did not have an opportunity to challenge the ban?

I had no opportunity to challenge these false claims. But that is irrelevant to why the ideological bias topic was removed: I repeat, why was it removed, as far as I can see it was not cited as an example of a personal attack.

Singleton4321, I know why it was removed, as does Borgenland who removed it. You still don't seem to know. I would caution you to remember that, under the terms of your topic ban, you should not be discussing the content of that post here, or anywhere else.

Read WP:WALLOFTEXT. The fact is you can't convince editors of your silly allegations by making a WP:NPA on a bunch of well-meaning editors disguised as a long-winded and incoherent rant and making malicious accusations of editors disagreeing with you running a cabal of sorts.

The topic ban discussion was between 10/13 and 10/16. You were notified of it immediately above this section (and would have received a notification about it on-wiki, regardless of email problems). You were indeed active between 10/13 to 10/16, see here. If you wish to appeal, see the link provided above for instructions. But any further discussion about the subject or the talk page or the motivations of other editors which is not an appeal will result in me blocking you from editing any page on WP, including this one, indefinitely. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:23, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241028182300","author":"Floquenbeam","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Floquenbeam-20241028182300-Topic_ban_enacted","replies":["c-Floquenbeam-20241028182500-Floquenbeam-20241028182300"]}}-->
