Help with sockpuppet and his/her talk page

{{helpme}} User:Snakezilla, a sockpuppet of User:Komodo lover who was blocked on July 7, 2007, is still editing his talk page, but it is not with block requests, but with comments such as this. My question is, should the page be protected to prevent these kind of uncivil edits and edit summaries? Pants(T) 01:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

The best place to take this is to WP:RFPP, where sysops judge whether pages should or should not be protected. Regards, —[[Animum | talk]] 01:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SpongeBob BikiniBottomAdven.jpg)

  Thanks for uploading Image:SpongeBob BikiniBottomAdven.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 13:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Danny Daniel

Hello. I see you're the house expert on Danny Daniel (talk · contribs) and his socks. I was about to block an account I suspected of being a sockpuppet of StealBoy (talk · contribs) when I noticed it was already blocked as a sock of Danny Daniel. The vandalism patterns are extremely similar and in fact I believe these two groups of accounts belong to the same vandal (who is, incidentally, most likely the same as Lyle123 (talk · contribs)). In any case, I thought you'd like to know. If you're interested, I can tell you what I know about StealBoy's socks. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 18:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
