Suspicious editor

Hi again, Luna Santin. I've come across some very suspicious edits from User:031586: Some odd punctuation fiddling, with an occasional bit of outright mis-information mixed in. Other users are calling this a vandal account. Thought you might want to investigate. Thanks. Rizzleboffin 20:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Question

Hi. I was wondering if I could have permission to copy your monobook...do you mind? :-) —Khoikhoi 21:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for responding, or should I say reacting, to the Wandering Scribe thing -- I couldn't tell if we were really expected to leave more warnings on the IP talk page first or what. 67.168.216.176 03:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the rude comment on my Talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 03:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Zisoc

I can't figure out what this guy is doing; if it's justified or vandalism. S/he seems to be tagging image after image for speedy deletion, but most of the reasons don't make sense. Some tagged for corrupt, or no image, are perfectly fine, while others are marked as no license, yet they have perfect license templates. If you'd take a look I'd appreciate it.

Blocked IP

Thankyou for unblocking the IP...Sorry to trouble YOU Todd661 06:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

For your judicious attitude. I'll admit I've been a bit cranky lately (new son is in ICU), and some of that crowd just really get under my skin. I have great respect and fondness for several editors with similar opinions to theirs, but with different styles.

I see we were near neighbors until recently; I just moved from Berkeley to Canberra a few months back. Kizzle, a wikibud of mine, is from somewhere deep East Bay; I think it might have been Pleasant Hill. Derex 09:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

User: Mewtwo4

Thank you very much for blocking this user. If there is one thing I cannot stand, it's a vandal, especially a persistent one. Hopefully when his ban expires he'll have learned a bit. Thank you again Drake

Thanks for sorting out that article for me :) — Deon555^talk_Review 02:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Sadly, someone else is making the same edits. I figure it's probably a sock puppet account, if that's the proper term, but either way I'll be on it to stop him. Oh well, the fight never stops for quality it seems. Drake

Blanking

Thanks for the quick response. I don't really mind being screamed at by a bot; it's good to know it's doing its job properly! But I still need to blank Wikipedia:Reference_desk_archive/Science/November_2006, Wikipedia:Reference_desk_archive/Humanities/November_2006, and Wikipedia:Reference_desk_archive/Humanities/December_2006, so how would I do that? I guess they could just be forgotten about.  freshofftheufoΓΛĿЌ  06:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's OK. I see now that it doesn't revert if you just use a redirect, so that solves the problem.  freshofftheufoΓΛĿЌ  06:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Means well but trigger happy?

Luna I see you have great love for the so called CVU, but kneejerk reverts and blocks for "trolling" look more like personal attacks on someone who disagrees with you. The Wikipedia:Blocking_policy says nothing about trolling, and I contend that expressing a view in a Talk page is in no way disruptive to the normal functioning of Wikipedia. Please try to ease off your admin trigger. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.10.18.77 (talk) 24 October 2006.

Actually, please see WP:CIV, WP:NPA, and WP:POINT. I could care less whether you were doing it at the CVU page or at WikiProject Albums -- if you have a legitimate complaint, take it up legitimately via the dispute resolution process. If all you're here for is insulting other users, you'll continue to be blocked and reverted at every turn. Please reconsider your behavior. Luna Santin 14:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Further mischief by user you blocked

Hi Luna... yesterday you blocked User:NBGPWS for 3RR on User:GabrielF/911TMCruft (now known as User:GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard). Well, as soon as his block expired, he went right back to harassing the page, and making bad faith AfD nominations in order to give himself an excuse to do it (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Clinton_Chronicles, where he pretty much openly admits making the nomination just so he could post it on the Noticeboard and taunt its participants). If you could take a look at these latest actions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, --Aaron 14:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Today's featured article

Just wanted to let you know a featured article you worked on, 0.999..., was featured today on the Main Page. Tobacman 00:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Fordham Preparatory School

Fordham Preparatory School has requested the site be "protected" due to recent "vandalism." However this all boys Catholic school considers a link to SNAP..."Survivor's Network for Those Abused By Priests" in which the sexual abuse by some of Fordham Prep's teachers is reported, and SNAP invites other abused men to reach out for help ... someone (at Fordham Prep) considers that "vandalism."

I request the following link be added and the page remain protected so the faculty cannot take down a link to an organization that has provided help to its alumni victims (some of whom have committed suicide due to the clerical abuse).

The requested added link is: http://p206.ezboard.com/fsnapsurvivorsnetworkfrm13.showMessage?topicID=24.topic

Thanks, I know you will do the right thing.

Lawyering

Kindly allow me the privilage of responding to your lawyering with a suggestion that you consider if you are headed for The Reichstag. In all seriousness, I see you mean well but please step back from the keyboard for a bit, take a stroll in the fresh air and consider that some users find self styled CVU type editing to be a mark against Wikipedia. I'm asking as politely as I can, please consider this.211.10.18.77 02:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Sigh Spinoza1111 03:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

William Shakespeare didn't say, "brevity is the soul of wit" and Shakespeare was prolix. His character Polonius, prolix but unlike Shakespeare a damned fool, says this to his son not out of any interest in brevity, but in order to enforce *omerta* and parental authority in a completely corrupt court and society. --Spinoza1111 03:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Help

Thanks for restoring my talk page. I had thought that adding the {{sprotect}} tag to the page would protect it from vandalism by IP addresses. Is there anything I can do to stop this? -- IslaySolomon | talk 05:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, I see. While anybody can add a protection template, the only people actually able to protect pages are admins -- you can read up on page protection if you like. :) We just blocked this guy's entire IP range for three hours; hopefully they're bored by then. If not, let me know, and I'll look into protecting some pages (you can also post to requests for page protection. Happy editing! Luna Santin 05:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid there was so much vandalising going on I just added the tag without reading up on it. Anyway, thanks for your help, much appreciated. -- IslaySolomon | talk 05:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Block that you wanted more info about

Thanks for your concerns. I have been unblocked. As our instituion uses (from what I can gather) one IP address for every single computer useing the proxy server to connect to the internet, it (I am almost 93.229% sure) is an IP problem. However, if, you still feel it is a username issue, my username will be visible when I use the four tiers. Thanks, --themit 06:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

What happened to my article?

Hello,

Last Week i created a Star Trek Fan Fiction article and i'm curious as to why it was deleted. I have never posted an article here before so perhaps you can enlighten me as to what was wrong? 70.56.29.151 23:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Mike Mendez

Regarding the user who vandalised my user page and flamed me off-wiki

You probably will remember that yesterday, I went to IRC to report that my userpage had been vandalised by someone who had flamed me off-wiki.

He and I have mediated through e-mail, and reached a reasonable compromise, so that we'll leave each other alone.

However, he has demanded that you stop editing his talk page. I understand that you have edited his talk page to warn him, and to restore warnings that he has removed. I tried to explain Wikipedia policy to him, but he threathened to take legal action against me should you edit his talk page one more time.

Therefore, could you stop editing his talk page? If neccesary, you could let another admin handle this.

Block on IP Vandal 139.142.135.106

Thank you for blocking 139.142.135.106 from making changes to wikipedia pages. I have investigated, and linked User: mroche to the problem user. They made changes from calgary science school, and got css' IP blocked. I ask that you leave CSS blocked, and also block Mroche from making changes too. Otherwise, he will no doubt continue vandalize various wiki pages. Thanks, 68.144.239.145 01:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Nice page...I like the Stop, hammer time banner...if I ever suffer a (even more serious) mental breakdown and seek/gain admin status, I'm stealing it. LOL Tvccs 07:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

One for you to look at...any input appreciated

Have a page I'm having to mess with due to what I find is a far too "rulesy" interpretation of permission - I got specific permission from Mitchel Forman and then had people claim the email I sent them/posted granting said could have been false and other stuff I find ridiculous. Got a CSD amd then a copyrightvio despite sending/posting the permission e-mail. In this case, I think it's people going totally overboard on protecting against a possible copyright vio which isn't going to be an issue, and now I have had to bug the artist in question just to super-clarify GFDL - and my contributions should readily indicate (I think anyway), I'm one of the last people to do a copyright vio. I've got a number of people I want to add images to I can't get a clear license for, as one of many examples, where I have specifically not added possible copyright vios. Again, my thanks.

sorry

i'm sorry for the vandalism from my account. i was doing research when my parents wanted to talk to me i i assume that 1 of my little sisters vandalized your site because when i got back i had a message saying that i was blocked from editing information (which i don't anyway but i would like to be allowed to add helpful information). i am very sorry for my little sisters mistake. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reitzaleah (talk • contribs) 26 October 2006.

To help you with your welcoming of new Esperanza members...

... TangoTango has kindly written up a script that once a week lists all of the new members to Esperanza. The list can be found at User:Tangotango/New members of Esperanza; it is updated once a week, and will show all of the new members since the last update. If you're not sure if everyone who joined the past week has been welcomed, that is a great place to check! I hope that helps you in your welcome, and thank you for making a point to greet new Esperanzians! -- Natalya 18:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Why did you delete Velocity Micro entry

Hi there, I am wondering why you deleted my Velocity Micro entry. There are plenty of other companies out there with the same exact type of profile. How do you suppose I change it? And since you deleted it, how do I get it back to make changes? Psnb 21:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

You Are AMAZING!

I was just warning the person who created the article "fredric likes to shit on peoples heads" or something like that, when you removed my text, with your own, well done, keep up the vigilance, and have a good day!

Nr9

Hey Luna!

I asked about it here Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive58#User:Nr9 but got no direct help. However, on IRC (or Skype, I can't now recall) someone pointed me to User_talk:Curps/archive27#Nr9 indefinite block where Curps had some clear evidence and some good reasoning for the block.

Hope this helps! ➨ ЯEDVERS 12:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

is it fun deleting articles?

just because you dont understand what they are about? or why else did you delete La Coka Nostra? --who-am-i 15:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

La Coka Nostra

What's going on? Is this a hoax or something? It looks legit to me. Friday (talk) 19:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

It was deleted by another Admin under CSD A7 and there have been several repost Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

There's no way this was an a7. I was in the process of moving one of the reposts, but I've restored for now. Unless this is a hoax, there's no way I can see that it's a valid speedy. And it doesn't look like a hoax to me, at first glance. If we really wanna delete this I think it deserves a fair shot at Afd, unless there's some obvious reason for deletion that I'm not seeing. Friday (talk) 19:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

This user User:Who-am-i is another sock puppet of a banned user. Has been repeatedly done personal attacks. as been blocked for recreating reposted material and has had three socks allready blocked due to harmful editing practices. see also [1] Luna Santin's origional deletion and message to the user. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

This may be a good reason to block an editor, but I don't see how it's a good reason to delete the page. But, I'll make that case on the talk page. Thanks for the info. Friday (talk) 19:25, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

PS they have reposted for about the 6th time the newest La Coka Nostra (group) Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Well there's obviously lots to this story that I don't know about, but I really cannot fault an editor for objecting to such an obviously wrong deletion. (This does not, of course, excuse whatever bad behavior this editor has engaged in.) I turned this other thing into a redir and put a note on the talk page explaining my reasoning. Friday (talk) 19:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I came by to leave you a note about this, but the explanation has already been copied here. Not only are these guys not a valid speedy, it looks like they very easily meet WP:MUSIC per the clause about "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable".
