Not helpful

You do realize that your comments here are not at all helpful. it is highly possible that the editor had a previous account, was an admin, and retired from Wikipedia. He may now be making a WP:CLEANSTART with a new account. Accusing them of lying when you have no proof of such is certainly against the community mentality (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:13, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, Have you first made a little bit of research before suggesting me? First of all, See this link [[1]] and also take a look at the user's rights log.It's clear that he has created account in 2007 and wrote that he was admin in 2008..hmm.. how does WP:CLEANSTART applies here? By making a false statement anyone can distract anybody.I think this user thought that our community couldn't identify that even he was an admin in past or not.Actually, I commented there,Why?? Just because even for one second if we assumes that he was an admin with an different account, then how the hack he didn't know that he was already auto-confirmed with a 5 year old account.He has even uploaded a picture and still have no knowledge of Wikipedia policies regarding user rights!How the hack could he passsed at WP:RFA??

Sorry, but my statement is long, but anyway.Regards.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 13:30, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Nevertheless, how helpful was saying he was lying? Was it at all beneficial? Was it at all in the community interest? You might say "are you sure it was on this project?" or something, but outright saying he's a liar? Note: as per my talkpage, please don't leave TB notifications (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Well..You meant to say that anybody can made any false statement about their user rights on Wikipedia???Well, So even if somebody puts a Userbox showing that he/she is a Wikimedia Steward and nobody could oppose it?That's something that my mind couldn't believe.You may argue that there's a link beside the userbox which could be used to verify, but most newbies may not try and assume that he/she is in fact a Steward.I always believes in WP:BOLD.Maybe you think that I might be creating a personal attack, but hey...I gone nuts when I found out he wasn't admin at all.Note:Well, the text that warns not to post talkbacks are very small to read.Try making it bigger.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 16:38, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Don't twist my words - I never said that someone could put a steward box on their userpage. Maybe the editor had been an admin on another wiki? What I suggested is that how you ask is sometimes more important than what you ask. Take the wP:AGF approach until the other side has the opportunity to prove otherwise (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
All right, I got your point.I think that I might have asked in wrong way.Thank you.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 11:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:MySocialCloud logo.jpg)

  Thanks for uploading File:MySocialCloud logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to the Teahouse!

Hi Maxviwe! Thank you for signing up to be a future host at the Teahouse. Well, great news - the future is here, we'd love you to be a Teahouse host! Teahouse hosts do more than just ask questions - they invite new users to the Teahouse!. A few things we'd love to see you do as a Teahouse host:

  • First, declare your Hostness! Add yourself to the Host page! This page is where new editors and your fellow hosts can learn about you and get in touch with you easily if needed. By signing up here you declare that you know how to serve up a great cup of tea. Add yourself here.
 
  • Invite new users with our invite guide. Please invite new users to the Teahouse! You don't have to track your invites, but, at the guide you'll find some tips on how to invite. It's super important; we have plenty of Wikipedians answering questions, but enough asking.
  • Visit the tips page. The tips page provides you some basic tips on how to engage with visitors at the Teahouse. We have a special way of doing things - unlike other areas of Wikipedia! (Such as greeting new editors with a simple "Hi!" and being as easy to understand and friendly as possible.)
  • Join the conversation by participating on the host lounge talk pages. We also have an IRC channel now for hosts to get to know one another, develop your skills, and eventually the channel will serve as an additional help space for new editors!
  • To visit the IRC channel: #wikipedia-teahouse connect (Feel free to ask me for help if you're having trouble connecting!)

I'm so happy that you volunteered to lend a hand at the Teahouse. I look forward to following your contributions and invitations, and your assistance in making the Teahouse a great and warm place for new Wikipedians. See you there :) Sarah (talk) 02:34, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello

Hello friend.I have created my account finally as you insisted me to.I liked your profile.Could you please make my also like yours? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmakarov31 (talkcontribs) 10:59, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Vlad.It's your nice decision that you have created your account eventually.I will copy some of code to your user page.You could then modify it yourself.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 11:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Maxviwe. When you moved Padatik to a new title and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you may have overlooked WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:

A code of honor for creating disambiguation pages is to fix all resulting mis-directed links.
Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Padatik" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 21:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh thanks, I would quickly fix bad links as soon as possible.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 06:54, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
So, I have cleared all the Bad links from Article Mainspace.Now, is it done with other Spaces like talk or wp?Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 07:09, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
No, just the article space. Thanks for attending to this so quickly! --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:36, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Regarding this...

...No need to apologise.   As I believe you have guessed, your edit was not revdeleted because of what you wrote, rather because of another user: an IP, namely this one, made a questionable edit, which was later redacted by Nczempin. All the other edits in between had to be deleted, because they contained the inappropriate material which would later be removed. Happy editing. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates

Hi. If you are interested in becoming an admin some day, may I suggest you read this and follow the links in it. Take care. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:35, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

yeah, I have read it one month ago and read every guide for succeeding WP:RFA.Thank you for suggestion.How do you got that I am wishing for WP:RFA? Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 10:21, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


Sinclair Thomas

If you are intending to become an admin then I would suggest that take more care in tagging articles for speedy deletion, for example how was Sinclair Thomas a blatant and obvious hoax? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
It was possibly A7 as there were no references and the subject doesn't sound notable.Sorry for that thing, my finger slipped on my Ipad from A7 to G3.Happy editing. Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 17:02, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
It was not an A7 either, as the article had a very clear claim of importance as a Paralympic athlete. Sources are not required to get past this criterion, just a claim of importance. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, but looking at the edit summary of page creator here [2], you can see that the creator has written "he told me when he was explaining his life".I thought that the creator is lying about the person and he must be a fake one.Sorry for not searching Google on this.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 17:15, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't see how you could make a logical leap from that comment to the article being a blatant and obvious hoax. Many people who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia's policies create articles based on personal knowledge. Please assume good faith and don't accuse people of hoaxing or vandalism without good cause. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
That's a moot point now for this discussion, as I have already told you honestly that my finger slipped on my Ipad from A7 to G3.We should close this discussion now.Cheers. Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 17:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

My apologies

I apologize for not answering your question of me at RfA. I did not ignore the question or lack the resolve to answer it. I was simply overwhelmed with other considerations. I hope you understand and do not take anything as against you personally. Thank you - My76Strat (talk) 03:04, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

...No need to apologize.It's all right.After all, it's a moot point as WP:RFA was withdrawn.Even if it was going to continue, I must would have voted for 'Support'.I'm impressed with your contribution.In the beginning the support votes ruled over oppose votes.This made me assumed that you might become a sysop.but alas, the fate was not as expected.Anyways, I think that you would definitely succeed after probably six months.Happy editing. Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 07:23, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Email

You should have an email from me. I will look forward to your response. Risker (talk) 21:03, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Second unblock request

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Requesting unblock for the reason given in previous request and regarding the comments from User:SilkTork, a member of arbitration committee. Max ViweViwe The Max 08:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Nothing in the original unblock request is at all convincing. There's more than technical means that are used to determine socking. Please see WP:GAB and WP:AAB for details on how to formulate unblock requests, including specific types of blocks (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

After discussing this with you on IRC, I concur with Bwilkins. I am unconvinced by your explanation. I also expect that no other admin will be convinced by that explanation, given that much of the discussion happened off wiki. I recommend that you take this to BASC, as your request has been turned down by the community. WormTT(talk) 16:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Blocked

In follow-up to our email exchange, I am blocking you for one month for the creation of multiple disruptive socks. A repeat of this episode will result in a considerably longer block period. Upon your return, you may edit using only one account, and may not create any other accounts. I strongly urge you to focus on creating and improving content when you return.

Maxviwe (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Recently, there have been a hoax regarding the User:Jordon (WMF) and User:Perl (WMF). They were the fake accounts created by the same IP address used by me.I was blocked for this reason.User:Risker and User:james Forrester contacted me via e-mail.I replied them via e-mail two days ago.But, no response has been found.Therefore, I have to create this unblock request.I am making an exact scenario of the my reality.

1) I am a student from Surat, India.I am currently living in the hostel of my university.The hostel which I live in has the accommodation of 800 people.There are two sections of it: Boys and Girls.In the boys section there are about 12 individual buildings.I live in the 'E' building.In my building, there are 48 person residing including me.In each building, a Wi-Fi router has been installed by university for hostel students.The ISP of Wi-Fi router is You Broadband and telecom Pvt. Ltd.The Internet speed is approximately 12 Mbps, enough for students in one building to use e-mail or social networking.I am using my laptop via Wi-Fi to connect to the internet.So, It is technically possible for every students in one building to get the same IP address which is assigned to the router of "CISCO" brand

2) I am actually a different kind of person from other students in building.You can call me a nerd or stereotypical geek person.I have very little social interactions with other students.After college time, the student from my building engages in various activities like cricket or going to smoke.but, I spend all my time reading a book or editing my Wikipedia.In the past, It has happened several times that they have harassed me for not being like them.but I have never agreed to them and ignored them all time.This has resulted in a situation when the same person living above my floor has vandalized Wikipedia and I revert it.I have also explained them the importance of reading and improving your knowledge, but they bullied me over time.

3)Last Friday, A dispute occurred between me and other 5-6 persons from my building, when I was trying to read Wikipedia and they were partying with extremely loud music.I requested them to turn the volume of music down, but unfortunately they denied it and the situation got worst.In the anger,I told them to do their worst.Now this thing happened.I am assuming that is a possible conspiracy against me by my several enemies.Also, In the past they had created a mimic account of mine which was like "Maxviwe001" or something.(I do not remember the name exactly)This is a confirmed as I had confirmed this from my friend who is among the opposite party.I have also complained to the university staff about this situation.

4) Thus, I am completely innocent and a genuine editor whose only hobby is to improve Wikipedia, not to distract it using sock puppetry.Just thinking rationally : Why would a editor distract the community of Wikipedia after 2 years of time on Wikipedia and over 2000 edits ? If he wants to do such, he would have done this in the beginning.He would not have made such constructive 2000+ edits if his only intention is to distract the Wikipedia.

5)In the end, I must say that I have deep faith in the community of Wikipedia that they would serve me justice.I could provide you any additional evidence if you want as verification.

P.S.: The fake accounter had also uploaded an image to Commons.I am hereby uploading MY image to verify myself to commons.File:Maxviwe potrait.JPG Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 15:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It's almost a short soap opera, but no. Please direct all subsequent requests to the Ban Appeals Subcommittee. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 17:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • Generally the Committee will only listen to appeals when all attempts to get the community to unblock have been exhausted. One failed appeal to the community is usually not sufficient reason to approach the Committee, and we rarely consider appeals of short blocks, unless talkpage access has been blocked. We will be returning this appeal to the community. SilkTork ✔Tea time 21:49, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
