Dear Colleagues I thank the various administrators and editors for their patience and for their comments here on the various talk pages and by email Many comments have been made about procedural failures Each of my steps in the dispute resolution process is prefaced with a request for advice and direction about how to do this properly as I note here because I did not know how to request or manage an ANI conduct review or MEDCOM mediation properly A decision to block me was made which I will not contest based on comprehensive notes from two editors and accusations that I provide no evidence I did not know how or when to do so but I am learning quickly In regard to arguments made by the editors and above and upon which a decision was made to block me I respond as follows I reviewed a long history of contentious discussion and edits in Historicity of Jesus I then posted a bold sourced here which I encourage you to examine You may see that they are in some cases minor clarifications in others short simple neutrally toned presentations of divergent academic perspectives In each instance the sources provided apply only to the conceptual background of the claims made and do not pertain to the specific line by line claims of this article because the citations largely concern the framework of the discussion not its extensive particulars I started a talk page discussion Smeat75 reverted my edit without discussion here Smeat75 responded to my talk page discussion but did not address the reasoning for the revision here I continued discussion on the talk page and reverted back my edits here Ian thomson reverted my edit with note of You must develop consensus here I reverted with note Local consensus is opposed by Wikipedia Editing policy Wait for external review here I requested external review at WP RFC and continued discussion on the Talk page here Ian thomson reverted the edit I requested review on again here External review collapsed as editors ignored process and comments from external parties I had been following what I knew of appropriate policy and felt I was being repeatedly reverted without discussion or attempts to communicate so I then requested Dispute Resolution here please read dispute overview Dispute resolution was opened great comments received from many editors and closed unresolved as explained here On advice of DRN I applied to ANI for advice on resolution of conduct conflicts here and to MEDCOM for content mediation here MEDCOM opened the request 5 editors to date have agreed to mediation ANI administrator then blocked me without addressing my request for advice nor making inquiries with me and apparently based solely on the comments of two editors about which I have conduct concerns My specific conduct concerns about some editors are outlined below flagrant misrepresentation and exaggeration of proposed edits and propositions as here here here
