Sam,

Have you tried to bring your complain to the International Society for
the Prevention of Cruely towards Animals?

Also, what are the "chess politicians" that you constantly talk about?
Is it politiicians who play chess or chess palyers who entered
politics?

And whom do you mean? Garry Kasparov? Kirsan Ilyumzhinov? Slobo
Milosevic? Bobby Fischer?

And thank you and your shrinik for trying to destroy Wikipedia and
Usenet by filling them with garbage.

Involved parties

All Parties are aware of this request

I have made a request for mediation in this dispute. User:Phr refused
two days ago.

This dispute has gone on for more than three months since early
December, 2005 and it is obvious that User:Phr and User:Rook_wave have
no interest in settling this dispute.

Statement by User:Sam_Sloan

For the past 10 or 15 years, Paul Rubin who posts here as User:Phr has
made thousands of postings to various chess forums, all of which have
said basically the same thing, which is that membership dues of the
United States Chess Federation should be reduced to zero or in any
case to no more than $5, and that Paul Rubin should be allowed to play
USCF rated chess without being required to join the USCF or required
to subscribe to Chess Life magazine.

In general, Paul Rubin has been dismissed as a harmless crank, not to
be taken seriously, and is often the brunt of jokes.

That is until two days ago when it was discovered that Paul Rubin is
the same person as User:Phr who has been going about deleting the
biographies of chess politicians he does not like.

Paul Rubin knows Tom Dorsch personally and now that we know who
User:Phr is, we understand why User:Phr attacked the biography of Tom
Dorsch with such vehemence, because Tom Dorsch was one of the chess
politicians who raised the dues to $40.

When the biography of Tom Dorsch was first posted, User:Rook_wave
vandalized it by deleting all but the first two lines. When this was
reverted, User:Rook_wave then posted a AfD and then voted six times to
delete. He was joined by User:Phr who voted five times to delete. More
than that, every time a user voted to keep, he was attacked by
User:Phr who accused that person of being my sock puppet or my meat
puppet, even though he actually knew these people, having posted ten
thousand times to Usenet, and knew that they were completely
independent of me and not my friends.

As a result of the six votes to delete by User:Rook_wave and the five
votes to delete by User:Phr the biography of Tom Dorsch was deleted,
even though Tom Dorsch is one of the best known chess politicians in
the world. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Dorsch

User:Phr is completely different from User:Rook_wave. User:Rook_wave
is a German who lives in Germany. He does not seem to know anything
about chess. Paul Rubin, a/k/a User:Phr, on the other hand is a very
well known Bay Area chess personality, who has obvious animosity
towards other Bay Area chess personalities. So, even though User:Phr
and User:Rook_wave do not know each other, they team up and attack the
same targets, which is in this case me.

User:Phr has substantially deleted or modified in a negative way the
biographies of the following Bay Area chess personalities: Tom Dorsch,
Batchimeg Tuvshintugs, Eric Schiller, John W. Donaldson and Elena
Donaldson. He also substantially deleted the biography of Edward G.
Winter who is known for his attacks on Eric Schiller whom User:Phr
does not like.

Two days ago, User:Phr posted an AfD for speedy deletion for the
biographies of Bessel Kok, Ali Nihat Yazici, Julio Cesar Ingolotti,
Panupand Vijjuprabha, and Geoffrey Borg only five minutes after these
biographies were first posted. These are all important personalities
in their respective countries: Belgium, Turkey, Paraguay, Thailand and
Malta. He got these biographies deleted by administrators who
obviously did not know who they were, except for the first biography.
When he was unable to get an administrator to delete the biography of
Bessel Kok, he deleted almost all the content himself except for just
a few lines.

In addition, Paul Rubin posted modifications to his own biography,
which is a violation of Wikipedia rules.

This is a major dispute which has already lasted for more than three
months and is not going to end, especially with the World Chess
Olympiad starting in Torino, Italy on May 20. Therefore, the
arbitration committee should consider this dispute.
