new user name was created because original account was permanently blocked, this is excessive and arbitrary for unknowingly breaking a rule but seems to be consistent with the vindictive and capricious nature of the editors and administrators. Oh and way to throw a fellow grad under the bus.Pignetti (talk) 22:11, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bob, my desire to protect you here went out the window when you threatened me, attacked me (including by email) and became a disruptive editor. I looked the other way when you showed up again because you weren't being disruptive at first. That was obviously my mistake. It won't happen again. Bye. Billcasey905 (talk) 07:57, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No disruptive edits have been made under this username, you cannot permanently block someone for an unintentional violation of the rules. You confuse disruptive edits with defending against a person who is deliberately vandalizing articles; and don't shoot the messenger because you don't like the message, threatened? Hardly. As an editor you are not above being called out or criticized for inappropriate or questionable actions. You clearly show a bias so recuse yourself from any further involvement, this will be appealed to the administrators.Pignetti (talk) 04:17, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WikiDan61 was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at United States Army Special Operations Command. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This appears to be a case of WP:BLP1E: Beaudette is notable as the commander of the SOC, but with only three sentences in this bio, it appears he is notable for little else. Either expand this article (with proper referencing), or just create a redirect to the SOC article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Francis M. Beaudette and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Francis M. Beaudette, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

• The guidelines on notability clearly state that an article is warranted for any high ranking officer such as three or four stars and/or someone who commands a significant, major or prestigious organization. Second there are numerous articles on other senior military officers that are similarly brief, I refer you specifically to the article on his predecessor General Tovo which is almost identical in content - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_E._Tovo. Third there is a lack of online biographical information because the Special Operations community is known for secrecy and hesitance to publicize information.Pignetti (talk) 18:06, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the notability of a US Army General in charge of the Special Operations Command is pretty much assumed. That being said, if he is notable in this regard, he should have received significant coverage from which to build a fuller biography. If, as you assert, that his biographical details are sparse by design due to the classified nature of his work, we at Wikipedia can't address that fact. But if all we can say about him is that he is the commander of the SOC, there is little point in having a stand alone article about him, where a redirect would suffice. (PS: I've taken the liberty of refactoring your talk page comment so that it would not appear in the middle of the AFC notice.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• you have not addressed the fact that the previous ASOC leader was notable enough to have an article with identical lack of detail, this appears to be a double standard and typical of the very subjective standards employed by different editors. There are dozens of wiki articles on people that are extremely brief and lacking in biographical info so I guess they all need to be deleted. In the meantime how about a review by several editors to get a consensus of opinion.Pignetti (talk) 00:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The existence of other articles on Wikipedia that do not meet proper inclusion criteria is not a sufficient argument for the creation of this article that does not meet inclusion criteria. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:50, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked for obvious reasons. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 16:06, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

you cannot permanently block a user for unintentionally violating rules; excessive, arbitrary and vindictive. 6 months would have been more than appropriate for the original user bob80q, if you permanently block someone and new usernames are not allowed this effectively prevents editing on some pages which is excessive. User has been blocked for almost a year which is punishment enough, reverse it or advise on how I can aappeal.
