HihieditHello Master of Puppets I think you are awesome! :D woosungkim 12:45, 19 March 2016 (UTC) I agreeeditHello Master of Puppets. I agree that this edit serves no useful purpose.[1] Thank you.—John Cline (talk) 08:21, 17 November 2014 (UTC) Thankseditfor dealing with that IP. DH85868993 (talk) 12:11, 17 November 2014 (UTC) Unblock request on holdeditGreetings, Master. I have placed on hold an unblock request at User talk:Owen4004. I am inclined to unblock, in view of the apology and assurance it won't happen again. Any opinion? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:38, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
Autoblock and accountseditHello, I understand why the IP was blocked - I work at a school, and unfortunately it happens. But I thought one of the benefits of having an account and of signing in to that account was to avoid such blocks. I'm pretty sure in the past I've been able to log in and post even when the IP at the school is blocked. I wasn't even able to post here and ask you the question (and when I used your email link which you provide my messages were returned). --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 04:36, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
On the Road Again Tour - protection warranted?editHi M.O.P. - would you mind semi-protecting On the Road Again Tour for a few days, given the persistent nonsense plague it seems to have attracted recently? I have made an RFP, but given the backlog I thought I'd ask you as someone who's seen it first-hand. Thanks! Reticulated Spline (t • c) 21:07, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Re: Personal attack and abuse of multiple accountseditI was mentioned as being a sock in this discussion [2]. I don't understand, I asked to be blocked myself [3]. I didn't vandalize anything to lead to a block, I had asked to be blocked on my other account StanTheMan87 for personal reasons which are no longer necessary. I can't undo the block until January 2015. I stated clearly on this account that I do have another account, namely StanTheMan87. According to Wikipedia's own page on Sock Puppets "A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception." How could I be misleading anyone when I freely admit that I am the same person as StanTheMan87, and state this on my page? Furthermore, I find it unfair that, as I did nothing wrong or didn't break any rules when asking for a block, that when I make another account to contribute in order to circumvent a block (that I can't remove) and that I asked for (I no longer require it), I get declared a 'sock'.

Re: rollbackeditThanks for the message. I can definitely be more careful to use undo/edit summaries in the future, but I'm not sure it gets at the root of the problem, which is the user/s (I'm not sure exactly how many there are, since there are obviously some socks/meatpuppets operating at the article) repeatedly attempting to impose new changes without consensus. In reverting these disruptive edits in the past, I've used summaries, but I feel like I'm repeating myself and shouting into a void. They already know their edits are wrong and why they're wrong. Can you offer any advice? –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:30, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Page deleted?editHi! You deleted a page I created, Giulio Cocchi Spumanti, stating "No explanation of the subject's significance (organization)". I'm a new user and I don't know each Wiki rule, but the reasons for this company page to exist are: - Historical company in the italian wine and spirits business, small but well known - Just awarded in Italy as "Historical Company" - The founder, Giulio Cocchi, in 1891, invented a new category of products, Barolo Chinato - Famous company in the mixology world because of its products (present in 50/50 Best Bars in the World) - In wiki there are hundreds of pages of similar or smaller italian companies in the same business etc I'm not that good at adding references, are articles on newspaper or business magazines good? There is a lot about this company online! Can you please reactivate the page, or send me the script so I can save it in my sandbox and improve it? Thank you very much! =) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giorgio.bbb (talk • contribs) 15:49, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Based on my discussions with Rosclese and Esoglou, Rosclese refuses to speak to the other. Are there alternatives besides mediation? I don't want to head to arbitration yet. --George Ho (talk) 23:59, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
The more I contact Esoglou, the more I'm becoming more suspicious about him. Check Catholic Church and abortion in the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Catholic politicians, abortion and communion or excommunication (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).

Barwick (talk) 15:40, 13 January 2015 (UTC) You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Christianity and Sexuality. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Christianity and Sexuality/Evidence. Please add your evidence by February 2, 2015, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Christianity and Sexuality/Workshop.

Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing listeditHi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Abusing multiple accounts?editHi MOP, I have come across two users/accounts that are clearly used by the same person per the accounts' names and the behavioral evidence of the two accounts. First off, I found it odd that the two most recent differences/edits from the accounts were only ten minutes apart from one another. See: Account #1: [11] From what I can tell so far, I don't think they are legitimately abusing these two accounts, but I thought it might be something worth looking to...

Confrontational UserseditI recently liked the way you told TJH2018 of the dangers of confronting users. Similarly, can you do the same thing with Darkknight2149? See his confrontational posts against User:Nolantron here ([14]) and here: Darkknight2149 warning, which is only encouraging him to vandalize his pages more and more. Is this the way a user should behave on wikipedia? How Darkknight handled the situation was strictly inappropriate, which only stirred the pot up, resulting in the vandal to instead carry vandalizing on but at a greater intensity. Do get this admin wannabe Darkknight to think about his actions. 206.108.147.66 (talk) 20:43, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Yoshiman6464 (talk) 00:34, 28 August 2016 (UTC) Extended confirmed protectioneditHello, Master of Puppets. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. User page designeditHi @Master of Puppets:, I was looking through the user page design center and stumbled across your user page. I was wondering if I could use the frame of your user page (one large box at the top and three smaller ones at the bottom) in order to redesign my user page. No worries if you want to keep the layout for yourself, just a question.

In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 20:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC) A new user right for New Page PatrollerseditHi Master of Puppets. A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best. If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR.

Is it possible that you can restore Esoh Omogba since the page was deleted before I had a chance to contest the speedy deletion.

(the Myanmar National League) in 2016 and all the deleted versions were created prior to his stint there (he transferred there in November 2016 while the latest deleted version of his page was created in February 2016).

I mean not only is this something that a reasonable person could say, but it's almost certainly true:
And it wasn't even a terrific article. It was a poor article that among other things opened with describing his religion even though that has nothing to do with anything else in the article or his notability (if he had any, which he doesn't), "many believe they prayed together during those final moments" with actually no source and zero reason to believe this is true, and so forth. Lol. This actually made my day... I mean, woot, what the fuck... so even tho you're not really active and probably won't see this, I just wanted to thank you. I'm still laughing. Carry on!

ArbCom 2019 special circularedit
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:31, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)editArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community. Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered. For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Woohoo!edit

Thanks for your time! NJZombie (talk) 04:04, 8 August 2020 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of User:BryanSweet/Freewebsedit![]() A tag has been placed on your user page, User:BryanSweet/Freewebs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
