Your block of Christand Joseph

Hello! I have reviewed the unblock request made by User:Christand Joseph of your indef blocking of his account, and I have reduced it from an indef block to a 24-hour block. A review of Mr. Joseph shows that he did make an attempt to seek clarification of his disputed actions via a message to User:Zhang He, who had issued warnings against Mr. Joseph. However, Zhang He ignored the inquiry and removed Mr. Joseph's input from the Talk Page. Since Mr. Joseph made an effort to seek assistance and it was rebuffed, I cannot consider him to be an unapologetic vandal. However, his persistence in placing the disputed link online does not warrant a full pardon, hence the reduction rather than absolution. If Mr. Joseph doesn't learn from this experience, however, I will have no problems in reblocking him for a greater length of time. Thank you. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, that's fine. Thanks for letting me know. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Spanishboy2006

Thanks for taking the appropriate action. There is no other way to deal with disruptive users who make edits such as this one[2], as there is no talking to them. I know that you are not heavily involved with the subjects but I just wish to say that the forms of the names I provided are the most common in English hence the name of the articles which are more dedicated to presentation in English. Cheers. Evlekis (talk) 16:56, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I have no interest in arguing about the content of the edit. I blocked him because he continued edit-warring as soon as his last block expired. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Bambifan sock

Hi JD, because I don't want to feed the person's ego I'm not posting to ANI or AIAV - User:Bubba the Elephant is surely another User:Bambifan101 sockpuppet and ought to be blocked per Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Bambifan101. (I used to chase after him in his error-insertion sprees in early 2007, and didn't know he was still around -- is it meaningful to report IPs he used back then, and which aren't already in the list of socks?) --bonadea contributions talk 16:34, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, incidentally, there is a lot of overlap between Bambifan101 and User:Woodylogan in terms of the kind of articles they edit(ed), their level of English, and their general habits. Wondering if it's meaningful to pursue that tangent at all, or maybe it's already been checked. --bonadea contributions talk 17:25, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I blocked Bubba the Elephant. I don't know about any possible connection between WP and BF. I wasn't really active in 2006, and in any case, running a checkuser now would be useless, since data is only saved for three months. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:42, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't know that about checkuser. Poking around in old vandalism is a bit tedious and probably won't do any good, so I'll let it rest. Thanks! --bonadea contributions talk 19:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Anon IP you just blocked

Hello!

Andre Johnson

Andre is arguably one of the best receivers in the NFL today. As seen here http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/396162, it says "Andre Johnson is one of the top receivers in the NFL" also "When he's healthy, he's pretty much unstoppable. " you can also go on youtube and watch NFL Defensive backs say, "He is one of the best receivers in the NFL" and if that doesn't qualify for unbiased I don't know what does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.0.118.119 (talk) 06:04, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Designing Barnstars

I've noticed you've made some barnstar designs so I was wondering, is there a certain software where you can make them. I've made a Wikiproject:Assyria barnstar using copy/and paste as well as paint before but it didn't look as well quality in form like some barnstars. Can you possibly send me a link to downlaod a software? ThanksSchnitzelMannGreek. 01:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

It looks like we both pressed revert at the same time (or you rollbacked which made it faster then my twinkle revert which said it completed.) I put a final warning on the worst offendor but since your the one who got the actual revert in and have been around longer please feel free to adjust that if you feel needed.

That's fine. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

My warnings to vandals

Hey,

If I see vandals add obscenities to a page, I usually give them a one and only warning. Is that okay? Do I have to give them a general note first as good faith?--Apbiologyrocks (talk) 19:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Just do whatever seems appropriate to you. If something is obviously vandalism, and obviously intentional, you don't have to assume good faith. If it's just gibberish, for example, odds are the person was just testing, so you should try to be nice. But there's really no hard-fast rulesJ.delanoy^gabs_adds 21:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Alternate point of view: it really depends on the situation. I may not block someone who vandalized after an "only warning" if I think the only warning was unnecessarily harsh. This is because it might be a user's first experience and in truth they might not even see the warning before they made their next edit. On the other hand, sometimes an offense is so egregious that there's no point in warning; I blocked someone recently because their edits said "heh I'm in teh wiki vandalizing" and there was no obscenity at all. (Also, people who use racial, ethnic, and sexist slurs or are overtly, intentionally offensive don't even get a warning, but of course if you're not an admin that's not an option.) I guess what I'm saying is this: if you want an "only warning" to stick, make sure the offense justifies it. My two cents.  Frank  |  talk  21:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

apparent vandalism on Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow

Erm, I don't know how my IP was involved in those edits. I don't even know who those people were, so I'm at a loss as to how those edits were made using my IP. I made an account so as to prevent such confusion...sorry about whatever happened there. Sorry to "Blaxthos" as well. Would you have any knowledge as to how that happened? Frankly I think I've made about one edit on Wikipedia in my life...several years ago.

ISnowBI (talk) 21:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

You most likely have a dynamic IP, so someone else had the IP address that you have now at some point in the past. Most likely, they are the ones who vandalized. Just don't worry about it. As long as no new vandalism comes from the address, nothing will happen, and you will not be blamed for it. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

NSF

Hi,

You just reverted one of my edits at NSF and left a warning at my talk page. What happened was that user user 92.138.88.208, who had vandalized a few articles by blanking sections, made this edit and removed the word "Nazi". I reverted it, ClueBot reverted my edit, I filed a report with ClueBot and reverted the edit again, and then you reverted my edit and gave me a warning. I think you misunderstood the nature of my edit and warned me unfairly. Even thought I have some experience here at Wikipedia this account is virtually new and a warning at my talk page looks bad.

Yours sincerely, Dupont och Dupond (talk) 21:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Fred Singer

Respect you a lot but interesting call on content dispute on Singer;) ? GoRight plus an already blocked sock versus 3 or 4 admins? I thought he had just reached 3RR so there wasn't a need to block him for edit warring, and protection seemed unneeded. But life it too short and maybe I missed something. --BozMo talk 18:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I saw at least three people on both sides, so protection seemed most appropriate. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 19:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I came to the same conclusion as you at first, J.delanoy, but now am not so sure. GoRight has broken 3RR (the original report was filed incorrectly, but after further digging there are at least 4 reverts) and there doesn't really appear to be anyone else on his side (the only other person who has restored one of his edits is User:Kut or Bait Fish, who appears to be a sock of someone; all the others involved have been reverting GoRight...it's annoying to see that instead of discussion, but anyway it looks like this is just one user against consensus). Anyway, I suggested at the report that perhaps the page be unblocked, and GoRight blocked immediately if he starts messing with the article again (anything even resembling a revert); I don't know if this is the best solution, but figured I'd at least leave you a note so you can comment. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 19:31, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I asked a checkuser if they could take a look, and I also responded on AN/3RR. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 19:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

That's fine and I am a strong believer in getting on with life rather than worrying about whether every call we make is right. Which is why I am not going to unprotect the page and block a one person walking edit war. Next time perhaps I will get on an do it myself rather than assuming someone else would, and given my laziness I can hardly blame anyone else. By the way I think checkuser had already refused to check one account because it was "too obviously" a Scibaby sock. --BozMo talk 20:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

• Is there a way to keep and discuss the disputed section in talk (as has been tried repeatedly in good faith by GoRight and others, including myself) till the disputed section is resolved without simply freezing the page--it assumes 3RR only applies to individuals rather than "tag teams," which I think underlies the current difficulties. The reverts are often accompanied by snide remarks/no justification and the Fred Singer talk page gets much worse. An example: "Singer['s]...work during the last 30 years is a politically motivated crock of shit...." [strikethrough was in original and was meant as a sarcastic insult--see other similar insults directed at GoRight and others in the same section], so I think GoRight is getting a bad rap here--he is honestly trying to add balance (whether I agree with him or not) and trying to get civil discussions going without much success. The current issue is how to deal with "sourced" ad hominem labels in a held-to-a-higher-standard Biography of living persons. --John G. Miles (talk) 03:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Well after last night it looks like you were proven right about protection. --BozMo talk 06:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Good day. I was curious as to know why you removed a tag from an obvious vandal's(PiseedOffDemento) page? I attempted to reinstate it, and have now been accused of being that same vandal! My best guess is that it was not my place as a non-admin to add tags etc. Any explanation would be extremely helpful. Thank you. Maxx Mountain Rock (talk) 19:16, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Please could you answer a question for me?

I would really like to know when blogs and Twitter pages became valid reference sources. There are some people editing the Law and Order (esp. SVU) and the CSI shows who are using these as references (when they cite at all), and I thought I should get an admin's opinion on this issue, since I am pulling out my silver hair while attempting to hold my temper. Pretty please can you give me an opinion on this? Thank you very much. TristaBella (talk) 23:02, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know, blogs and twitter AREN'T reliable sources, except in the case of, say, Bill Johnson's (confirmed, official) blog being quoted on [[Bill Johnson]], or [[Project Bill Johnson is heavily involved in]]. Of course, I'm not actually J.delanoy, so grain-of-salt, etc etc. --King ÖÖmie III 00:17, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Pretty much what King said above. If the Twitter feed or blog is confirmed as belonging to the person or organization in question, it is definitely appropriate to use them as sources.

Hi again, my talk page has been vandalized many times. However if I give them vandalism warnings they ignore me. How can I fix this J.delanoy? Chevy Impala 2009 18:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

You can report them to WP:AIV, and if it gets really, really bad even after some of them are blocked, you can ask that your talk page be protected on WP:RFPP. Be aware that you may not get protected for more than a few hours at a time, and some administrators are extremely reluctant to protect talk pages. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, I got my talk page vandalized numerous times and I am tired of reporting it for page-protection. So is it really necessary to protect it? P.S. Sometimes when I warn users on Huggle, it says "Did not warn (user): This user has not edited since their last warning". Please reply. Chevy Impala 2009 17:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Also wish to read this. Chevy Impala 2009 18:20, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The only way to avoid getting your talk page vandalized is to not fight vandalism. And sometimes that doesn't even work. As far as Huggle goes, that is a normal part of the program's operation. If you think it should have left a warning, you can always do it manually or with Twinkle. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 00:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

As you are the admin who correctly protected the Sonia Sotomayor page, I feel most comfortable bringing this up with you first. Under the discussion page their is clear evidence given that she is not the first hispanic supreme court justice. There are many ways to alliviate this situation. Firstly I thought we could directly state that she follows Benjamin N. Cardozo as being the second hispanic supreme court justice. The second option is to mearly state that she is the first hispanic women to be elected to supreme court justice. Even if you do not agree with the facts presented to you, I do request that a neutrality dispute or some other disclmer that you might think is more pertinent be added to the page if no immediate action is taken untill the discussion is resolved. Thanks, --Jab843 (talk) 08:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I think we should give unprotection a try. Even if just to see how fast it gets vandalized. If I read correctly, it was pre-emptively protected when it was created in May 2008... –xeno^talk 15:35, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

And on the flipside, I don't think pre-emptive semi-protection of articles is a good idea.

No experience with this sort of stuff yet, but I saw that you were among the last couple of who acted in the above situation. I've just reverted identical vandalism to the Wilson Goode article by User:WinstonSmit, who used an edit summary that makes it clear that they're part of the same group of editors. Not sure whether it's possible to tie this together, or should it just be handled per normal. I'm heading back to warn the user now. Mlaffs (talk) 01:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Problem editor on Hendon article among others

I noticed you reverted some blatant vandalism on the Hendon article, can you help me with a more difficult problem? User Marcus didley has been subtly vandalising this article with plausible nonsense edits always without citations. I've been looking at his contributions and I think I've identified his original username (The biggest jimmy) and a new sock puppet (Jock MacTaggart). Looking at all the warnings on his original talk page i can't understand why he hasn't already been blocked. But because these warnings aren't recent I'm hesitant to goto WP:AIV. Can anything be done now or should I continue reverting and warning? p.s. he often includes the fictional characters Stan Shah and Reginald Fah-Fah, and the fictional Real English Pigeon Appreciation Society in his edits.

Not to be rude but why does Yakuza keep getting removed?

Hi J.Delanoy, Thank you very much for reverting several edits made by that vandal. He is ebcomign a menace for the site. Unfortunately he uses non-static IP so there are number of IPs to block, I have blocked at least 5-6 IPs in last 2-3 days and just noticed that he has become overwhelmingly active this morning. Is there any way to block all the originating IPs from him?-- Dhaval^Talk 09:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks dude, Will try the first option you haev provided, as he is becoming more and more virulant, to be on safer side, as it is going to block so many IPs, I would try with blocking him for a month, and it doesn't look like he is an IT freak, it is his Internet provider, who provides him different IPs everytime he logs in, so hope with blocking this range, he would give up, and as you already suggested, if he still continues, will try another option. But I am very much positive that he will step down with our first efforts. Lets hope for the best. Once again Thank you very much for this guidance.-- Dhaval^Talk 09:00, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Please place block templates

When you block, please place a block template on the page, to save other editors time, so we do not place irrelevant warnings or notices on the page you have already blocked for five years, such as [12]. Thanks for you valiant efforts. Edison (talk) 20:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

As for the weird edits by IPs adding the same spam to various articles, which you did some 5 years blocks for, there is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#IPs. If you could explain the need for the 5 year IP block it would be helpful. Can we be sure no one else will be issued that IP in the future? Edison (talk) 20:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

As I recall, they were blocked as open proxies. Nishkid64 caught a few as well, all adding Anontalk spam. And I must admit, seeing someone scold a user with 280,000 edits is like watching someone poke a dragon XD --King Öomie 20:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

@Edison - The anontalk spammer always uses open proxies to spam, so I just blocked them assuming that they were proxies. If desired, you are more than welcome to undo any or all of them, and if people think that they are not appropriate, I'll gladly unblock or change the blocks. As to placing block notices, I can if you really want me to, but I don't think there is much use. Anyone using a proxy is unlikely to be doing so with good intentions, so randomly giving them a yellow bar seems kind of pointless. If the proxy is closed, and the person tries to edit, they should be able to request unblock easily.

@King - 280000 edits does not mean anything, really. I am still human, and I do still make mistakes, so if you ever see me do something that makes you go "huh?", feel free to challenge me. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

It's a running assumption that a user with THAT much experience has an intricate knowledge of what he's doing, but of course it doesn't make anyone infallible. And no offense intended towards Edison or his course of action, of course! --King Öomie 20:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

As with any spambot or vandalbot, the AT spammer always uses HTTP proxies, which are notoriously dynamic and short lived. I would estimate less than 5% will still be open proxies after one year - after two years virtually none. There's a useful link over at WP:IPB. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 20:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

deletions on artist, designer information

Hi,

I recently entered some new info on various artistic and design topics. I wondered if it was possible to revert these or let me know why this may not be possible? They are based on information I took from the Design Archives at University of Brighton and other authoritative UK museums.

I also noticed another user had deleted info I had added on the artist Ronald Moody, but they have also deleted previous content provided by another user and I don't think they would have meant to do that! It's quite strange as the previous content (a list of Moody's key artworks) doesn't show up on any of the old versions on the history page at all. Anyway, thought I should point it out to someone.

Thanks for your help. Liquidstockings (talk) 00:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of World domination

The article World domination has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article is strictly original research. No evidence is given that any of the real historical information is related to the topic of "world domination." No references are given for fictional "world domination", or that it has even been discussed in secondary sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Steve Dufour (talk) 02:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, being as I am a newb, I'm not sure whether to say it's  Possible or  Likely, but I'm leaning toward the former. They are editing from the same ISP, but it's a very large range (/8), and the IPs are somewhat far apart. Also, the user agents do not overlap. It could be the same person editing in two different locations, or it could just be two people interested in the same thing. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 14:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Need Admin advice or action...

..On article Steel coils, user:Helpful4sure has placed an AfD notice, copied wholesale from A J M Industries, LLC.

An AfD Discussion has NOT been opened, nor has the AfD been added to the proper log.

I was tempted to remove this AfD notice, but have not, due to lack of discussion and consensus.

I have no urge to see this article deleted, nor do I have any wish to have further discussion with the editor who created the article and placed the AfD notice, due to his rather unusual, and extremely verbose, debating style at an AfD for another of his articles.

Report about LineofWisdom and Marwat786

Hi dude, though you had earlier on blocked a sock of this user LineofWisdom but now it appears that probably he has created another sock today by the name of Marwat786. Kindly look into this issue as both of them are once again vandalizing the parent article of Marwat and its ancillary articles. They have been placing AFD's on old articles and submitting fake votes so as to increase their tally. I hope sanity will prevail this time and this user LineofWisdom will also be banned along with his sock. Apart from this I am 100% positive that he is an old vandal who used to have an account by the name of A M. Khan and used to desecrate this fantastic article on Marwat whom I co-created some 5 years ago. Please have a look into this issue. Thanks. Xoxo -- MARWAT  12:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Listento me too, dude. I am surfing Wikipedia since 2008, atleast once in fortnight. I recently created this I.D when it felt that being a native and Marwat myself, I must not keep quite on the issues relating to my tribe and its elder. I don't know how Marwatt is so confidant that I am Sock of other user who is much criticised for none. Now, when he has challenged my indetity, it is his moral duty to prove that I am using sock. Actually, he cannot see someone voting against him. He neverwants someone else than him, espcially from Marwat tribe, to speak and have freedom of writing here. If I am uneligible to vote on the very first day - my aim for making this I.D is cleared above - then my vote be declared null and void. But I request you administrators to track the previous record (from 2006 to date) of this user Marwatt to know his state of mind on article Marwat. It wonders me that he never talks regarding the deletion or whatever the subject is, but always challenges the Users' authority to defend any of the Articles that he wants to be here, wether of a Notable or obscure personality. In the end, is it fair to talk about users at Article for Deletions, rather debating and addressing the issues? Is there no administrator to stop his such notorious writings? As far as vandalising is concerned, you could see that it is only user Marwatt who is doing it by editing the version set by two different Administrators. When it is upto his nerves, he nevber respects an Administrator's decission because he, at every cost want the article to be set according to his wishes and desires. It is too much. Please, take action against him, upon the charges I have quotes in this discussion. This would oblige wikipedia which is turned into a Family Battles Field by him. --Marwat786 (talk) 17:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

J.delanoy, just to let you know, I've blocked Marwat786 as a sock and blocked LineofWisdom for a week. There are a number of things about this account that make me believe it is a fabrication of User:LineofWisdom, most primarily that all of Marwat786's edits have been in disputes LineofWisdom is involved in. Also, note the contents of LineofWisdom's userpage: I do encourage you to run a check, because it sounds as if LineofWisdom is a reincarnation of old accounts, and given this abuse I don't think those accounts should be left unblocked... and I wonder if any of those accounts were blocked.

I'd say that it's  Likely that LineofWisdom (talk · contribs) = Marwat786 (talk · contribs). They are editing from the same ISP, and the same node, and there is an overlap between useragents. However, it is a fairly busy range, and I am not absolutely certain. Also, because of the busy range, I can't tell if LineofWisdom is a reincarnation of someone else. Do you know of anyone specific who you think may be related to him? J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:29, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

No one specific. Just figured, if anything showed up in the magic checkuser tea leaves... :) Thanks for running that check, though -- LineofWisdom is appealing the block, protesting (predictably) that the other account isn't him. Mangojuice^talk 21:02, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Emergency Checkuser

Could I get a checkuser on Ricardojose20027? The edits coming from this account are very much like that of indef blocked Dingbat2007. Lots can be found out about the latter user in checkuser. Thanks...NeutralHomer • Talk • 03:21, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Account has been indef blocked, so urgency isn't as great as earlier, but checkuser is still required to make sure Dingbat has no other socks or if it isn't Dingbat, the blocked user has no socks waiting. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 03:25, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Your newpage patrol script

Hello J.delanoy. I know the newpage patrol script I stole from you isn't really your script, but I have a question. You know how the unhighlighted articles are supposed to be patrolled? Well, I clicked on one and the Mark as patrolled button was still there. I thought that was strange, so I tried again. And again and again... And every time it was the same. Is it an error in the highlighting or Wikipedia? Thanks. Airplaneman ^talk 01:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it has to do with the &rcid=12345678 part of it. I just tried it now, and it doesn't show a new entry in the patrol log. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 01:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The &rcid=12345678 bit is which revision to patrol. When you click on a link to a page from Special:NewPages (or the newpage toolbox), it allows you to patrol that revision. But because the link is there when you click from newpages, not when it's not patrolled, it doesn't go away when you patrol (it's required to mark as patrolled). But it doesn't do anything either. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 01:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm. I see. Thanks for the explanation! Airplaneman ^talk 05:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The "-N" means that the language is your native one, the one that you learned naturally as you grew up. I don't really know what the difference between -4 and -5 is, but I would guess that -5 would mean that you have such a mastery of a language that not even a native speaker would be able to tell that you are not a native speaker.

SPI section header problem

NuclearWarfare gave me your name in an ongoing discussion I've been having with him and Luna Santin about the problem with Section Headers. Rather than repeat them all, I will give you links to the 2 discussions:

1. Thread#1
2. Thread#2

From what I understand, the software problems have been corrected for the most part, and from what I've seen, the problem now is that when one SPI is introduced with section headers, the problems that occur now are because some SPIs are in the old form and some with section headers, so the sequencing gets hosed up. This is that situation which I set up in my sandbox and NuclearWarfare verified that this is what he saw when I tried to put through an SPI with section headers (BullRangifer had section headers, Egglianderou does not) [14]. I am trying to set up a "form" with section headers that would be transcluded correctly, and make it easier for the checkuser to go through the SPIs. Here is what I came up with (now both SPIs use the same new form): [15]. I just chose pink at random - the delination can be any color. If you have some time to look at it, I would appreciate it. If you see any problems or have any comments, please feel free to add them - I guess on NuclearWarfare's talk page, as it looks like the discussion is continuing there. Thanks. --stmrlbs|talk 01:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

This hasn't been a significant problem; I'm not sure changing it is necessary. Nathan ^T 02:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't think there is a problem with processing an SPI, but trying to edit an SPI is a real pain for the people involved. It is having to edit the entire page to add your comments.. finding the right place in the wiki code, etc. Not very user friendly. Having sections would make it much easier for the different people entering their comments at different points in the SPI. --stmrlbs|talk 05:09, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Joe the plumber

The joe the plumber page should be discussed in the discussion page do not revert You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Mattisse block

There is a discussion regarding your two week block of Mattisse. Your actions are within your discretion, however there is a feeling that blocking without warning may be a bit harsh, especially given that in the ArbCom agreed plan the wording for "Consequences for failure to adhere to plan" are: "Short blocks after a warning". Mattisse has acted inappropriately here, and the exposure of what she has done will attract enough criticism to punish her - a block on top of that, preventing one of our more able and valued contributors from building the encyclopedia, is perhaps rather unhelpful and excessive. Would you be prepared to reassess your block now that you are more familiar with some of the background? Regards SilkTork *^YES! 11:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Wondering if you could post an image for me

This file, a model of a methane molocule, is hosted on Commons.

Hi there - I'm a huge fan of the Cancer Bats and I noticed a fairly shoddy image of them on the main Wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_Bats). I just uploaded a proper image of the lead singer on Commons, but alas - I can't upload an image to any Wikipedia entry yet. I noticed you made some changes to the page recently and was hoping you could upload it for me. I took to image myself at a show in Barcelona last year - you can find it here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LiamCormier.JPG

Thanks! Been using Wikipedia for years but have finally decided to start contributing as opposed to purely being a mooch. Not even sure this is appropriate so let me know if I'm out of line with this request or posting on your page....

No, you're perfectly fine :-) Welcome aboard!

With regard to the image in question, images on Commons are automatically available on Wikipedia as soon as they are uploaded there, so there is no need to upload it twice.

For example, the image to the right is hosted on Commons, not on Wikipedia, but the code to display the image:

[[File:Methane-3D-space-filling.svg|thumb|right|150px|This image, a model of a [[methane]] molocule, is hosted on Commons.]]

is identical to what you would use if the file was hosted locally. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips... don't want to turn this into a help discussion but I am still having a little trouble - I used your code and it works fine, but extra code seems to be appearing. Perhaps I should clarify: I want to change the main article image at the top (the one appearing above the band info). I insert this:

[[File:LiamCormier.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Liam Cormier performing at a Cancer Bats show in Barcelona in June 2008]]

But when I preview, the following appears on the page, above the image:

A request

Respected Sir/Madam,

Since you were involved in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Heliosphere/Archive so please help

I would like to point towards an injustice which happened in the past. 3 editors were blocked as a result of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Gurbinder_singh1. I along with some unknown innocent editor User: Gurbinder_singh1 were blocked in this RFC, i.e. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Gurbinder_singh1 because no check-user investigation was done at that time. An administrator User: Nathan later documented that User: Gurbinder_singh1 was totally un-related to this case but it appears that no one has cared to unblock him and clear out his blocking history.

Actually, User: Morbid Fairy kept violating Wikipedia policies so he was later caught per ‘’’my’’’ evidences and hence a range block was implemented against his IP addresses and his user IDs (except one) were blocked as well .

User: Gurbinder_singh1 was lucky that his user account was finally investigated, and he was found innocent through check-user during User:Morbid Fairy’s new sockpuppet investigationBUT even though it was me only who did days and days of research to expose User: Morbid Fairy aka User: Heliosphere but no one has (check-user) investigated so far if I am sock of any of these guys.

Since a truth has come out, so please do justice and unblock an innocent editor User: Gurbinder_singh1 and please clear my blocking record as well. It hurts me all the time that some injustice had happened with me and other innocent editor and my IP was tagged with a blocking history for life.--98.207.210.210 (talk) 05:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
