I am being stalked!

I have attracted the attention of a Wikipedia stalker, so I have decided that I am finished with this. Wikipedia needs a policy on stalking, which is where some person obsessively follows you around, trying to disrupt your activities.

I have e-mail enabled, which allows you to contact me through sending me an email.

I can't be active on Wikipedia when I am being followed by a stalker. My stalker has an amazing knowledge of wikipedia policies and procedures for someone who, according to edit logs, has been active for just over a month. He has been here before, with other identities, and he has other identities. He is likely an administrator, perhaps under some other identity.

I have asked for an administrator to lock and close my user page and hide my contributions log. I naively had such information as my real identity available on my user page. I don't want to be stalked.

I am asking Wikipedia to take these measures to protect my identity. I must warn that, while I hate the idea of this, Wikipedia could be sued by someone in the future who suffers from harassment by another member. It won't be me, because I don't file lawsuits, but I now realize that this community is susceptible to such tampering. So I am recommending that Wikipedia look carefully at its policies, and also at its own administrators.

Would a high level administrator please lock my user page and hide my contributions log.

Thank you! and goodbye. --Metzenberg 17:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi

You locked the Reza Shah article *after* it had been vandalized again. There is consensus among editors regarding the contents of the article and if you had read the discussion you would have known that the invalid edits were the work of one person and two sockpuppets.Mehrshad123 19:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reza Shah article can now be Unlocked for Vandalism Correction

Please check the addition I made to the Reza Shah article's discussion page. The troll User:Artaxerex that was attacking the editors and vandalizing related articles has been confirmed as a "puppetmaster" who's sockpuppets regularly vandalized and instigated Personal Attacks against all editors. [[1]]

I believe the article can and should be safely unlocked now so that vandalism can be reverted by the editors. Mehrshad123 20:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for jumping on this so quickly.

Kargath64's edits to WP:UBM

Hi Royalguard, how are ya doing? I hope well. Anyway, you might have noticed that I also left Kargath64 a message at his/her talkpage mentioning that I reverted the edits, but I somehow forgot to do the actual reverting (final-exam stress I guess). Just to clear up any confusion that my post might have caused. Best wishes. CharonX/talk 21:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just leaving a note to explain my actions. I edited that page because I was trying to avoid some random coming across it and taking the notice up top as free reign to go moving all userboxes to userspace like what happened with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:UBX . I was also trying to get across the point that moving is not something you simply go and do - you need to think about exactly why it is necessary that the move take place, especially when you are dealing with templates. Thirdly, I was also trying to reinforce to the reader that GUS is indeed a proposal, rather than an official policy on Wikipedia as it is continually pushed and presumed to be by some. Kargath64 05:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, regarding the "Random user coming across issue" - User:UBX is an alternate account of User:Mets501 a respected admin, if a user would try to move userboxes from templatespace to userspace and botch up the job a rollback is always the option. Regarding the second part - it is partially true - migrating a box is not something you just go and do, you have to invest a couple of seconds of thought, i.e. is it necessary to move the box and where should it go - but after that it's a "just do it" because, honestly - as the other part of the summary said "no new policy is required to do this"; WP:OWN covers everything in wikipedia and if you are editing within the consensus you can "just go ahead and do it". Of course if one tries to distrupt wikipedia (to make a point) doing it, then he better expect to get a slap on the fingers or more. Regarding the third part "No new policy is needed to do this, and this is not a policy proposal" plainly states what WP:UBM is: it is a bottom-up method. In the days past, during the userbox troubles, any new "top down" policy proposal would instantly get mired down in heated debate of the various factions, resulting that no consensus would be found. WP:UBX was specifically designed that it could work without being, or needing an additional policy - if enough people found it to their liking, it would work. Turns out enough people did, and it became a accepted way of dealing with userbox-issues. And when people say "Userfy per WP:UBM" they basically say (at least I believe so) - Userfy it as WP:UBM suggests, because it is a sensible and accepted method. And I think this is the important thing - being a policy gives you some perks (like being better enforcable, a nice box at the of the page, etc.) but if nobody cares about what it says its only a piece of paper (or bits and bytes), while the other way round, if the majory agrees what to do in respect to something it does little matter if they follow a policy or just a method that works. CharonX/talk 12:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think that CharonX has covered everything there. I just want to add that User:UBX did a lot of inter-userspace moving too. A couple editors requested that UBX take over their userbox archives. But it's not a policy or a proposal (although it's almost become de facto within wikipedia society). Luckily for most people they've never seen the userbox wars that started UBM and others. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 20:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

References to Risk in pop culture

Hey, it looks like you gave the go-ahead for the deletion of the article References to the board game Risk in popular culture. I was just wondering if you could undelete it. The information on that page was needed for the Risk (game) article, on which there was (and still is) the link to the now deleted article. If I had been on Wikipedia at the time I would have contested its deletion. Thanks b_cubed 20:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

User talk:Master son

Hi. You semi-protected this page "per request" (your wording) in January. From the protection policy:

Indefinite semi-protection may be used for: ... User pages (but not user talk pages), when requested by the user.

This looks pretty indefinite to me. There seem to have been all of two instances of vandalism from anonymous users in the day before the page was protected; well below the sort of level that usually warrants even temporary semi-protection, and certainly much less than some of us have to put up with. Is there a good reason for this semi-protection? – Gurch 19:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I had totally forgotten about that protection until you brought it up. I only use expired protection now when protecting pages, but that one was before that was activated. After declining the protection of the talk page (see [3]), I received another message from the person on my talk page (now archived at User_talk:Royalguard11/Archive_3#User_talk:Master_son_-_Request_for_Protection). At the time it had to do with persistent and mass stalking by an old banned user (due to Highways from what I understand) against many other users. I felt that the best thing to do at the time was protect our editors from attacks (which I still hold as a pillar). So I protected. It can probably be unprotected now (I've recently said that I'm not going to protect anymore userpages on plain requests so others would probably think that I'm just being an idiot and unprotecting them because I spoke against that, so I haven't even looked at Special:PP under userpages at all). Feel free to unprotect now though (I think 4 months is probably enough). Thanks for bringing it to my attention! -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 23:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi, thanks for your explanation. I can't unprotect pages myself, and I don't want to waste time trying to request unprotection if there's a good reason behind it, I just wanted to make sure there was one. Your explanation seems fine, it can probably be left up to the user themselves unless anyone decides otherwise. Thanks – Gurch 00:44, 4 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: CWB Thanks. If I had my first year ag. economics textbook lying around I would scan it in for you. I farmed for several years in Manitoba so have personal knowledge of how the permit system works. Any ag. eco. text will tell how the permit system inflates land prices in Southern Sask. and deflates them in Man. and Alb. In the meanwhile I will try to hunt down a paper to prove it, but farmland prices are linked to the law regulating the use of the land. I didn't think my post was out of context with the "facts" above it. pants7

Burntsauce and Myleslong

Burntsauce is an editor who will reduce a bio down to a stub, cite BLP at the reason, then when one or two reverts of his blanking happen will call in an admin (Alkivar and Myleslong, more Myleslong of late) who will then lock the page (as a stub, although WP:PW understand that this is not endorsement of that version Burntsauce never locks the page as a full un-sourced article). The three most recent examples of this are Stacy Carter, Bob Backlund and Adrian Adonis. Burntsauce never notes his actions on the talk page, instead only communicating through edit summaries, he never talks to the project page and most annoyingly he never allows comments to be kept on his own talk page, simply deleting any criticism and leaving only quotes by Jimmy Wales.

At WP:PW we understand that bios need to meet BLP, however Adrian Adonis is dead, and the main part of BLP he is relying on is about contentious or libelous material, however he is removed all bar the name and date of birth. In a desperate attempt to help get some referencing done (although BS's problem is a lack of inline references as most wrestling pages will always list as least one wrestling site reference) I have be repasting the article on to the talk pages, then Burntsauce began blanking my talk page postings (although after pointing out the talk page guidelines he has refrained from that, although is now posting warnings about not posting full articles on talk pages).

The main problem is that we are trying at the project to reference and source pages, and have even instigated a weekly collaboration page, but Burntsauce is deleting from 200 pages a day and we just can't keep up. And any attempts to report his behaviour just lead to admins agreeing that we should thank our lucky stars that an editor as dedicated as Burntsauce is helping!

I saw you post about the 6 edit "war" on the Adrian Adonis page and thought that you may be able to help us, if not I understand, time is precious and we are all volunteers, but this constant uphill struggle is putting a strain on what the project can do because half the active editors (Neldav, Nenog, TJ Spyke, Nikki 311, Lid, Classic Kris, Suriel 1981, MPJ-DK, Scorpion 0422, Govvy, RobJ1981) are spending most of their time running after Burntsauce rather than being able to review start class article and work their way through the project to do list.

Thanks for your time. Darrenhusted 10:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Quick question

Hello, I requested two articles for page protection and they were denied. I saw you're the one who did that. It was my first time ever asking for page protection. So, I'm not sure how this works. I saw that for everyone else they got an explanation of why the articles were protected and deleted. But, you didn't do that for me. So, why did you deny the request? I'm having the hardest time with this website. It seems like half of the wikipedia administrators are very helpful and are giving me great tips to make articles better and everything. The other half keeps deleting articles without any explanation. When I ask why they don't even hav a clear explanation and end up overturning their original judgement. It seems like those group of wiki administrators seem to be more into deleting articles that they personally don't like vs. an unbiased look at an article. I've seen terrible articles written. Full of spelling errors, no references, no nothing. Yet, mine were in accordance to wiki guidelines, I get wiki administrators "OKaying" it and yet I'm constantly having to fight just to keep an article up. That's why I want it semi-protected. Just please help me out here. I don't know why I keep going through this. JoeyC5 18:09, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, okay. Thanks for the quick reply. That was a well put explanation. I've been so confused with wikipedia administrators. I read the rules of editing articles and it actually seems like a lot of people are taking advantage of being administrators. By the way, is there any way you can check out one of the articles, "CJ Johnson". The administrator who tagged it removed the nom but hasn't removed the tag. I'm afraid someone's going to come along and just go ahead and delete it without reviewing it. Again, thank you for that explanation. It makes perfect sense. JoeyC5 18:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, so after 5 days it will remove itself or after 5 days it will be deleted?JoeyC5 18:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I was mostly thinking that to someone who is in a dispute that is particularly "admin v. non-admin", telling someone to simply trust the admins is difficult to swallow. You guys take a lot of flak for non-legit reasons (I've read a lot of admin's talk pages), but it can be helpful to remember that to people who are heavily involved in WP but have never been administrators, the admin position seems like one of fortunate privilege a lot more than it seems like one of grinding, unpleasant work. I think the RfA process bolsters this feeling in non-admins a bit, too, but that's for another discussion and is irrelevant here.

I actually think that the proposal to define protection policy would cut down on the workload you all get (at least from people like me!) because we would be able to figure out what's a waste of time on your part before we bring things to be requested for protection - less requests = less work, no?

Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks for taking the crap - I know I would decline an RfA nom, but I'm glad some people don't. CredoFromStart talk 14:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Protecting Falun Gong

Hello, I saw that you removed the sprotected tag and replaced it with pp-protected. User:Samuel Luo, a known sockpuppeteer and anti-FLG activist who has been recently banned by the ArbCom, is trying to intentionally vandalize the editing process, and I believe that pp-protecting the pages actually means acknowledging his trollery. As a general rule, administrators have been blocking his sockpuppets whenever they come up - they're pretty easily recognized, as they always revert to the same version or try to add Samuel's personal website to the external links. I think we shouldn't prevent legitimate editors from doing their work, as the articles are constantly being improved. Olaf Stephanos 23:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Check Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Samuel Luo out. There are 8 socks I or Olaf have identified, and which need to be blocked (not causing any harm by now, but still, a banned user is abusing socks. Their contribution are literally identical, so can you please block them (I can move the names to the confirmed section for you to make your life easier). Thanks! Evilclown93 00:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Royalguard. I have downgraded the page to sportected. Full protection isn't feasible because it would let one banned user shut down the whole article permanently because he is always going to be there. I am going to ask other arb people to watchlist the articles so that any of his edits are quickly reverted and blocked. It's quite obvious if some guy creates an account, lets it hatch for five days and then lets it edit after five days, that the guy premeditated something.

Romualdo Pacheco

Re: your protection of Romualdo Pacheco, please note that I have attempted to discuss the succession boxes with Emerson7 (talk · contribs) but s/he simply changes the page back and then stops responding. This has happened both at Talk:Romualdo Pacheco and User talk:Emerson7#Deprecated succession box?. Emerson7 has also been blocked just one month ago for exactly the same behavior: "persistent disruption & refusal to repond to requests and warnings". Instead Emerson7 has inappropriately categorized my edits as "vandalism" even though they do not nearly meet the criteria per WP:VANDAL. Please advise on how you would prefer I proceed. WP:ANI? WP:DR already? Thanks. WRK (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

BTW, per my comment to Emerson7, s/he is claiming that governor succession boxes are "deprecated" as though it were decided on a global scale. Having investigated a bit more, it turns out only governors had their succession boxes removed, only from California, and only about ⅓ of them were done, and - not too surprising - they were all removed by Emerson7. No one else seems to be in on his/her plan and even s/he is not interested enough to finish them all. I've reverted the few Emerson7 changed so they're like every other governor article in Wikipedia. The only one left now is the one you protected. Let me know when you unprotect it so it can be brought in line with the rest. Thanks. WRK (talk) 04:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Newsletter Naming

Invitation by SriMesh

  • An invition is extended to members / subscribers to design a new WP Sask newsletter name with its own banner or font style. This would give a similar appearance to the WP Sask newsletter as the Wikipedia community newsletter name the Signpost which used the old english font for its unique naming. A proposal could be offered up for our own Wiki Project name for the new WP Sask newsletter similar to....Star Phoenix, Leader Post, Herald, Booster, or Times Herald (which are already in use for SK newspapers)....Something is needed for the WP Sask Newsletter.

At All Possible?

Hi there! I was wondering if there was any way to keep the information removed in St. Joseph's College, Edmonton. Could anything be added or massaged in order to make it conform to NPOV and WP:V? The material was harsh, but having lived there and knowing the Director personally, I can safely say that the information was too much in his favour. It is important to me, as an alumnus of the College Residence, to ensure that future residents are wholly made aware of the facts of living there; the current Director's utter lack of decency regarding personal respect and religious tolerance should be made known. We (the residents) have sent letters to the board of governors and the President of the College asking for the Director's immediate dismissal. There was even a petition to censure the Director, the petition contained the names of 70% of the House. Unfortunately, the contract he signed was for two years and he cannot be released until that term is up. Therefore, I would ask again, is there any way to keep the information, in some form or another, in the article so that potential residents have a clear picture of the current situation?
