114.76.210.127

I see you tagged the IP address 114.76.210.127 as a sockpuppet of 767-249ER. As far as I can tell, the edits from this IP address look like several recent edits by Hamish Ross sockpuppets on User talk:The JPS. What reasons do you have for the 767-249ER connection? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

He vandalised the user pages of Onorem, J Bar, Trusilver, Loy Wong on the 10th February by making a connection between those users, just as 767-249ER has done in the past. Maybe Hamish Ross is another sock puppet of 767-249ER. J Bar (talk) 11:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

1. If anything, 767-249ER is a sockpuppet of Hamish Ross, not the other way around - Hamish Ross has an indef block from April 2006, 1 year and 7 months before the 767-249ER account was created.
2. The records of other 767-249ER accounts/IP addresses don't seem to resemble edits like this (a Hamish Ross sock) and this. Other than the username RossRat51, I don't see a connection between these sockpuppeteers.
3. I see nothing odd about Hamish Ross attacking Onorem - on February 5th, Onorem was one of the users reverting Hamish Ross's sockpuppets' edits on User talk:The JPS.

עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay fair enough. I'll leave it up the experts to investigate further. I wasn't aware of the Hamish Ross puppet master and have only been harassed since I reverted edits by 767-249ER. I think there's some evidence to link 114.76.210.127 to 767-249ER and therefore also link to Hamish Ross.

Onorem & I were targetted before he was banned. [1]. Trusilver and Loy Wong reverted vandalism on my talk page by 114.76.210.127 & 114.77.214.106 and were then also targetted.

The matter is further complicated by the fact that User:Loy Wong has now been identified as a puppetmaster for a sock puppet called User:Poorarticleremovalist that has also been vandalising Sydney suburb articles, but he appeared to revert edits by User 767-249ER previously.

Anyway, I'll pass on any further information to those already investigating. J Bar (talk) 22:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

It now appears Loy Wong is using IP address 114.76.210.127 from a library, so the link has been made. J Bar (talk) 05:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't doing anything for you. I reviewed his unblock request, saw a blatant case of NOTTHEM (an unblock request either blaming one's own actions on an other user, or accusing an other user of actions just as bad), and handled it appropriately. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't think he needs to be blocked. I noticed he doesn't have a user talk page - which clearly means no warnings. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Question regarding recent comment

Hi. You recently left a note that my account had been unblocked and that any unblock request should be made on the talk page (I had moved the old one to the archive). I am assuming that when I moved this to my archive it notified admin as a new unblock request. The account has indeed been unblocked. Didn't mean to flag the request again. Should I delete the request from my talk archive? Thanks. --Lhakthong (talk) 15:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

No need. Unblocks which weren't given a final reply are categorized in order to attract admins to them. Those which were given a reply are no longer categorized. Unblocks on hold are in a different category, and I wanted to remove your archive from that category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:08, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Block Exemption

Thank you! Aula^TPN 11:17, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. I was given, from a checkuser, the account name of the sockpuppeteer (I am already familiar with him) and permission to use my judgement. Since you seem not to be him, I gave it to you. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah so that's what it was about. This is the trouble with the NHS - over 1 million employees sit on a private national network which only has a handful of external IP addresses. Thanks again! Aula^TPN 12:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

A user with hundreds of accounts (at least) who is highly disruptive - one admin has his talk page indef semi-protected due to harassment from this user, several unblock requests get rude declines from him (including legal threats in the name of Arbcom), several newcomers (frequently anons) get level 4 warnings over first violations, etc. His accounts were created in November-December 2007, so the CheckUser tool can't find them until they are actually used. In fact, at the same time I was dealing with you, a sleeper from that time also requested an IPBE - that sleeper is quite likely the next account lined up for these purposes. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

What's correct?

What's correct way to go forward here? Nsaa (talk) 11:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

This was a page I created in order that all "recent" unblock requests would be visible in one place. I wouldn't object to having the page deleted once that block expires, and no new blocks for that range are issued for a few months. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Finding direct uses of categories

The search engine that Wikimedia wikis use (Lucene) supports an incategory: parameter that works only for pages where the category is directly included (versus being included from a template). So, for example, you can do "Martin incategory:Living_people".

Anyway, you wanted to find stub categories that are directly included. However, unfortunately it currently doesn't support wildcards. So I filed bug 18332 for you. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually, after thinking about this some more, I may have a better solution. I just need a question answered: do nearly all stub templates end in "stub" and do nearly all stub categories end in "stubs"? If so, this is doable with a database query. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I think tha all the correctly formed stub categories do, in fact, end with "stubs", and that all correctly formed templates do, in fact, in in "-stub". עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. However, there's a caveat emptor here. This report only lists articles where there is a category like "____ stubs" but not a template like "___-stub". So, if an article is directly using a stub category but also has a stub template, it will not be listed in the report. This is the best I could come up with for now. Perhaps some further pondering will produce more results. Though, at the moment there are about 2,700 entries in the report, so you have plenty to work with. :-) Set to update monthly; let me know if you'd like it updated more or less regularly. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Bann

You banned me months ago (I believe)... :) Now I am back. As you see, I still operate from the same IP-adress as I used to. Will this mean that if I make an account, I will get banned right away because of my earlier connections to vandals? Happened to me before, so I wonder... ;) 86.89.146.118 (talk) 15:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

1. I never blocked this IP address. If you can tell me which account you operarte from, I may be able to respond about it. Please note that in general, if your account was blocked, then you shouldn't edit unless your account block had expired or been unblocked.
2. If there is abuse of multipkle accounts from your IP, then a few users with the CheckUser ability will be able to figure this out, and may block accounts which appear to be related to it.

עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Could you please unblock User:-The Bold Guy-? That was my original account... with it, I did nothing but good edits... It was linked to sockpuppets (which I had admitted to) and after the block was expired they banned the account again right away because "it was linked to sockpuppets". But I had already been blocked (temporarily) for that, and they banned me right away. It must have been a mistake, for I have done nothing wrong ever since. Could you unblock that account for me, Old Misehu? 86.89.146.118 (talk) 13:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

This block has nothing to do with me. The only interaction I have ever had with -The Bold Guy- was moving a misplaced page into his namespace, and informing him of this move. Feel free to request unblock by e-mailing unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org (our unbloick request list), or the Arbitration Committee. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, to much trouble comrade I'd better try to make myself useful as an IP instead! I'm trying my very best now! Hey, if I ever come up with a "cunning plan" to create an article, will you then post it for me since I do not have an account? 86.89.146.118 (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Block

I do not have a "specific IP address", because SingNet routes all traffic through a proxy server cluster and, as far as Wikipedia can see, my IP address changes with nearly every edit. The instructions you have given me are irrelevant, because Tor blocks are not autoblocks, and yes, the problem obviously is that somebody hardblocked an IP in the SingNet range. Jpatokal (talk) 09:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Every edit you do/attempt does have a specific IP address. Next time you are blocked by this hard block, please make an unblock request specifying the specific IP address used for that attempt. The "you are blocked" page has a section "What do I do now?". Expand the section, and you will see a {{unblock-ip|...}} code - copy that onto your talk page, and we (not necessarily me) will deal with it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not getting through to you, now am I? My IP address changes with every edit. If I reload a page or submit an edit (eg. editing my talk page), it will use a different IP address from the one I was using earlier. I can reload [2] and watch it dance: Your local IP address is 220.255.7.215! [reload] Your local IP address is 220.255.7.216! [reload] Your local IP address is 220.255.7.217! [reload] Your local IP address is 220.255.7.211! Jpatokal (talk) 10:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

None of these IP addresses appears to be blocked. If we have a single IP from the range which is blocked, that will allow us to find the block and decide what to do with it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Balakumar"

A page you created, Balakumar, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Wikipedia:Mersh

Resolved

I noticed that you deleted Wikipedia:Mersh for the reason "(Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 December 22)". There is new information on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Colon that in my opinion warrants un-deletion. WP:Deletion review#Steps to list a new deletion review told me to raise this issue here.--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 14:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

As the only person who commented in that discussion, I've taken a look at this after the user above contacted me. In my opinion, because of the technical issue involved (which I knew of at the time, but didn't examine closely due to the mass nomination), a redirect from Wikipedia:Mersh to Project Mersh is reasonable. At the very least, I would not object to a recreation. So far as I'm aware, there's no similar issue with the other items mentioned in that nomination. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:28, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree, it's a useful redirect – at the time I nominated it I didn't know that "Project:" was an alternative name for the Wikipedia namespace so it looked like a mistake. The other redirects I nominated linked to articles that don't contain "WP" or "Project" in the text. snigbrook (talk) 15:44, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your note regarding the methods of categorizing stubs. That is good to know. However, I do not appreciate the manner in which you informed me of such categorizing details. It is only an essay, but WP:DTTR is quite good. A more personal message would've been better than a "Welcome to Wikipedia" message given to a guy with over 50,000 edits.

Vitor mazuco/Vitor Mazuco

Per this edit, you seem to have some inside knowledge and private communications involved in the unblock of Vitor mazuco (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I'm now dealing with Vitor Mazuco (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who is obviously the same user, as I'm having to warn him about exactly the same things I did before.

We have some very explicit criteria for speedy deletion. Before CSD A9 was created, an article about a clearly non-notable recording by an unnotable person couldn't have been deleted. The promotion itself is clearly "a group of people", which makes it fit in to CSD A7. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:21, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
