Blocking message abusing
The blocked message keeps showing at my contribution page. Could somebody fix it for me please? Raymond "Giggs" Ko 14:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean - you're not blocked, so there's nothing indicating you are on Special:Contributions/KyleRGiggs for me... Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:35, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for trying to solve the problem for me. However, it sometimes appeared again after the new block is given, as a new image uploaded shown. Maybe it is a bug of the block, but I am sure that it is not the problem of autoblock. I seems have to be actually unblock action to make this message disappear. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 04:29, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- An IP address posting on my talk page figured out the problem, I think. If you're getting faced with blocks, it's because you keep logging into User:Giggs for Temporary and editing. This triggers the autoblock on that account. If you stop editing with that blocked account, you shouldn't have any more issues. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- Nope. I found the answer at the last autoblock. It appears before I last login to that account. It did not shown since May, when I used that account. However, it disturbed me for a long time. So it is the problem of proxy. The better solution - must not be the best as proxy problem could not be solved easily - is to have an actual unblock for the account.

Jessica Liao sock... maybe not?
See User talk:Destatiforze. I initially declined, but something doesn't smell exactly right. This doesn't feel like a Jessica sock; Jessica socks generally try to defend Jessica (while of course, denying that they are she). Also, something about the language of this account, and the article interests in its (albeit short) history indicates this may have been a false positive. Could you look into this and see what you think? --Jayron32 04:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- I was coming over to ask the same thing. Jessica seems only interested in popular culture stuff, while this user doesn't seem to at all. --jpgordon::==( o ) 04:49, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Giggs for Temporary
You blocked him indefinite yet he is editing junk again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Giggs_for_Temporary
Please read this when you get a moment. I have tried to put that section and part of its procedure into some semblance of order, hope it's OK for you too. Many thanks! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:15, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Take a gander
I'm about to upload a new article into Mainspace, and was hoping to get some feedback on it before doing so. You may recall that you had speedily deleted a prior version of this same article (uploaded by another user). I happen to concur with the prior removal, as the article was lifted from the artist's website (without citation) and there were all of two references.
Since then, I've performed a major rewrite/reworking of the subject, and would really appreciate your feedback. This is my first BLP article, and because of that, I want to exercise appropriate care.
You can comment on the sub-page's discussion page. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:41, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Desiree Bassett is now in mainspace. Hope you enjoy the article. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Request
I have a situation arising in my "real world" where I will need to do 30 to 40% of my editing using "public" computers and/or any access I can get, ie. public library's, friends, neighbors etc. Therefore to insure my continued contributions to this project I am requesting IP block exemption. I am not sure how long I will be in this position, but I can't imagine not being able to log in and edit or work the account creation irc. I am sure my length of service, edit and conduct history and my account status speaks for it's self as to the trust needed to have and use this right. I have never had any type IP, user or log in blocks. I make this request from you due to the fact we have corresponded in the past and the guide lines for this request mentions a checkuser may be needed. Thank you for your consideration.

Hey there!
Hersfold: so I decided to change my username. I was editing under "Murphy2010" (remember?), but I kind of got sick of my username and wanted to change it. Anyway, I hope to make more frequent contributions under my new username "Sepia officinalis", which I might decide to have display as "Cuttlefish" (S. o. is the Latin name for the common European cuttlefish).
On a related note, I've still got rollback on my old account, and was wondering if it could be transferred. Anyway, see you around! Sepia officinalis (talk) 03:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Survey
Hi Hersfold,
I am a PhD student at the Open University of Catalonia. I am currently preparing a research project about the governance processes in online collaborative communities, and I would like to kindly ask for your collaboration based on your long experience in Wikipedia. Interested in participating? Please drop me a note in my talk page. This would take 20 to 30 minutes of your time. Thanks! Aresj (talk) 19:34, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, is this an active proposal for changing the practice at WP:Edit filter? It seems to be done by informal discussion on the talk page at the moment. If it isn't active I'll remove it from the proposals category. Fences&Windows 16:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Help with WODRA Re: Beta Command
Hi, Hersfold. I am currently editing WODRA which had a unsourced POV definition by an editor engaged in a defamtory lawsuit with a real estate company in which he was found liable (http://www.citmedialaw.org/threats/orix-v-predatorix). Obviously, that definition was unreliable and was written with an axe to grind. I replaced that definition with the correct one and one that is supported by the CRE Finance Council aka the Commercial Mortgage Securities Association. However, Beta Command keeps reverting back to the old definition with no explanation at all. I have also left a message on Beta Command's discussion.Granthorton (talk) 18:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I forgot to add, the reason I came to you because, I will not edit the article any further as I would then be in violation of 3RR so I would appreciate some mediation into this. I have no desire to get into an edit war. Granthorton (talk) 18:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Vandalistic acts by Betacommand
I had wanted to complain directly to this Arbitration Committee, but his talk page says I should address his mentors. He has been reverting out of no reasonable sense the article and deletes from his talk page any attempt to contact him.
An intervention is obviously necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.208.198.93 (talk)
- This is an obvious case of POV pushing, that has been reverted by myself and other users. I'm tempted to take this to AN for either protection or blocking. βcommand 13:18, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- This is not a case of POV-pushing, since there is absolutely no evidence of such. Betacommand is removing sources and changing the article to a very odd version, intentionally dropping and replacing parts of the text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.110.246.104 (talk • contribs)
- There is an easy way of solving this, get several reliable sources to back your claim up before reinserting it. unless you have multiple reliable sources its POV pushing. βcommand 21:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Betacommand is on vandalistic reverting spree here as well. Immediate blocking is called for. Geeteshgadkari (talk) 08:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- Its not vandalism to keep an article clear of spam. Learning management system has been a long term target of spammers and those who want to get their non-notable projects listed. βcommand 21:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Although I've had disputes with βcommand in the past, he's absolutely correct, this time. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
