Hello, I'm thinking of starting off my Wiki-career on vandalism, what it is, and isn't, and how it works, can you give me any advice?--Wiki wa wa 22:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All my a/cs are blocked. regardless of u unblocking me or no i will be taking my concern to highest authority. I cant see anybody abusing our history and ancestors. Am i allowed to open a new a/c?

MfD and imminent deletion of WP:PAIN

In case you haven't noticed already, someone nominated Wikipedia:Personal attack intervention noticeboard for deletion; consensus so far is strongly in favour of deletion. Just thought you might want to know – Gurch 20:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A User To Block

Opronc is back; and with a vengeance. He created Opronc-oB and set my User Page for deletion. Would you mind putting him on an indefinite block, as he should be? I'll also post a message to his Talk Page to ask what is going on, and why he has decided to strike back like this. Acalamari 20:12, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent; I'm still waiting for him to respond to my E-mail, assuming he responds. Acalamari 19:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

Thanks for putting an "anon block" on Gangas, Rashtrakuta and Chalukya dynasty. Please do the same for Western Chalukyas and Kadambas also. The same puppetmaster editor (Vishu123) has been making anon edits here also.

thank you for your help.Dineshkannambadi 14:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great groupism! Mr.Kannambadi seems to be hot favourite of all of u. Any explaination by Mr.Kannambadi or u to remove cited info by me? I will not edit the articles but why are u ppl hiding the truth and removing the cited info? 59.95.15.185 06:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no id,if i make new id i am termed as culprit. I have posted {{unblock}} on Mrtag. If u notice all of these pages (esp Yadavas or Rashtrakutas) I have explained and justified all my edits. Mr.kannambadi with his partisan books is vandalising history articles. His and (his books having)extraordinary pro-Karnataka bias are of no value. They being in English doesnt make them pristine. Few other editors also raised the voice but they are silenced by Mr.Kannambadi and his gang.Plz guide about where to ask justice for it(dubious regionalistic books). No one is answering this question in order to save him. Plz answer on vishu123/59.95.15.185 06:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not Sarvabhaum. Although i found him to be one of my classmate,i was not aware of he being on wikipedia.It is not his original name. I dont know its password and even he is been requested by me to not use wikipedia. So he might use it without any a.c. Plus no where it is written that 2 persons from same orgainsation shouldnt edit wikipedia. Infact i have lost my password for Mrtag and it will be nice if u unblock vishu or allow me to open a new a/c.If u dont agree/believe to any of the above,i am sorry but i have no other way to convince u. Let those a/c decay.i

am amazed about the allegations,some says im this some say im that,someone flames for using Marathi books,someone reverts me for using youtube and someone tags my edits as unencyclopedic.Am i so bad!!. 59.95.34.127 08:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal

Hi. Judging from the recent and long-time activity of User_talk:216.47.187.128, I believe the IP should be blocked. Please take a look. Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 14:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Xiner (talk, email) 23:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another Vandal

Hi. Looks like you might have some expertise in handling vandalism. I noticed User:Viva25 had vandalized Colin Mochrie‎, so I reverted their work and starting investigating their other contributions. I found three more cases of vandalism, which I have undone.

Their first entry was the creation of Werner Holzwarth. It's messy and it may not satisfy notibility criteria, but it shows a valid attempt to be a contributor.

Viva25 has vandalized 4 articles and created one crappy article. I'm recommending Viva25 should be blocked and Werner Holzwarth should be marked for speedy deletion. Clerks 21:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

You accused me of vandalizing pages. Why? I've done nothing to vandalize any pages. I've added several pages to wikipedia and made a few changes to things that were wrong. All the stuff that I did was far from vandalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mister Pine (talk • contribs) 23:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

re: Pubic hair article

<< null edit -- remember, WP:NOT censored; use talk pages instead of continued reverting, perhaps? >>

Did you even read the recent entries on the discussion page? Nobody was trying to "censor" wikipedia. Someone inserted a photo that was already in the article a few paragraphs later. That's it. Just getting rid of the needless repetition. No serious encyclopedia would run the same photo twice in the same entry. This is a no-brainer. Xandergr8 02:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put it this way: I make several hundred reverts daily ... <snip>

My apologies. My indignation was not quite a match for the severity of the crime. And if you're reverting as much vandalism per day as you say, thank you! Xandergr8 01:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for watching out for me

I'll refrain from adding to your heap o' barnstars, but you have my sincerest gratitude for cleaning up some particularly nasty vandalism of my talk page. I was just commenting to another editor that very day about how vandals and trolls were inching up my Wikistress, but it's really nice to know that admins like you are out there looking out for us. Thanks again! -- Satori Son 14:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I know you were only doing routine vandal patrol. Still, I'd like to say thank you for catching the vandalism to the Langston Hughes article. Maybe it is wishful thinking on my part but I am hoping that someday the vandals will get a conscious and stop. Oh well. Again, THANK YOU.TonyCrew 17:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about a user

Hi Luna, I'm sorry to bother you again. Could you take a look at User_talk:84.52.241.86. In your opinion, how should an admin respond in this situation? Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 22:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Rennie2

You said: "Hey, there; saw you'd blocked this user as a vandalism-only account, just about a month ago. They sent this to unblock-en-l, today, saying they'd like a second chance. Did you have any comment on that, before I do anything?"

I'm happy for you to assume good faith and unblock them if this is your desire. They certainly are claiming they are going to contribute productively and we can always reblock if this is not the case. --Yamla 22:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Hi Luna. I'm having a problem with a troll on Talk:Big Bang, but as I'm not an admin, I cannot ban him. It's obvious that User talk:Arvin Sloane, User talk: 69.19.14.29 [1], User talk:69.19.14.18 [2], User talk:172.188.50.42 [3], and User talk:172.209.233.172 [4] are all the same person, who's a long history of vandalism.

Wow

I didn't know that someone looked up to me. I'm very honored. :) I try.

As for PAIN, it's sad. It was a great idea, but honestly, I just think it was just too much of a task and a pain (no pun intended) for most. But on the other hand, we did some good. I just think it was too much hassle for what the community got out of it. And people such as myself just got burnt out on it. Hopefully something similar will be created eventually. There's a use for something like that. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 12:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

request for help

Dear sir, I have tried genuinely to stop fights and even produced English citations where i could get. But Mr.Kannambadi is removing cited info on chalukya and rashtrakuta. The english wikipedia nowhere declares that Marathi citations cannot be used. It only says to give preference to english. I tried as much i could get. His hatred towards my language is unfortunate. I request u to look into this matter or referit to other senior. Plz replySarvabhaum 18:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would You block a IP user who had recieved 11 warnings including 1 last warning and was still vandalizing? And if so to reccomed him for blocking do I need to place a warning on his page before doing so?--St.daniel 21:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser

Sorry about that, the username is HariA08, not 808. I have never filled out one of these forms before, but the user seems to be similar to madndndrumr711. Also, what do I do, when I believe an article is nonsense, but the author keeps deleting my tags? Paulwithap 03:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both users have committed acts of vandalism, and created fake articles, "Ashwin Betrabet" and "Hari Ananth".Paulwithap 03:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dab style

Hi, just a minimal note, re this edit, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Individual entries: "Entries should nearly always be sentence fragments. When the entry forms a complete sentence, do not include commas or periods at the end of the line.". Obscure, and anti-common-sense, but it keeps the entries cleaner and faster flowing. (I'd hypothesize. I had to check the MoS to make sure I wasn't remembering wrong in the first place ;) Thanks :) --Quiddity 08:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Impersonators

A completely unrelated/random question, as you're an admin and might know. Did I handle these 2 IPs correctly (69.105.30.49 and 68.126.7.187), or should they be warned more thoroughly somehow? Both (same person?) signed other editors names to their own comments at WP:5P. Thanks :) --Quiddity 20:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am lhinds7

yeah, since you are obviously too lazy to pay any attention to who you block and pay attention to their appeals, I created another account, and since I haven't done anything bad yet, you can't block me, so HAHAHAHAHA --Hindsketchup 18:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User Jerrypp772000 has violated 3RR

He has violate the 3RR rule for article: Guantian

Please see history and block him accordingly. Thank you. -Nationalist 22:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to save you the time Jerrypp772000 has NOT violated WP:3RR on Guantian (only two edits in last 24 hours) and they were reverting wording by Nationalist. Nationalist edits many pages with a very familiar theme [6] and sticks in stuff about the "ROC on Taiwan" i.e. Taiwan is simply assumed to be the name of an Island (or province) as opposed to the name of a country in its own right. The "ROC" they refer to is the one with the claims that pre-Date the PRC and Taiwan split. I've crossed paths with Nationalist before and basically gave up trying to negotiate. IMHO this editor is somewhat quirky for Wikipedia but I know that China/Taiwan related edits are politically sensitive so gave up bothering to take this further WP:KEEPCOOL and all that jazz. Ttiotsw 23:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please look carefully at the history. It was orignally Taiwan, Republic of China before jerry changed it. I didn't make it Taiwan, ROC to begin with. It was already there. He just keeps changing it. I don't feel there is a need to change it like what Jerry did. -Nationalist 01:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets.

I posted this message on the Talk Page of Yamla (talk · contribs):

I believe I have found three possible sockpuppets: Subcard123456, Subedar123456, and Subintern123456. I believe they are sockpuppets of Subuser123456, which itself is a sockpuppet of Himalayanashoka. The three sockpuppets have similar names, and similar edits to their User and Talk Pages, which is my proof. Plus, Subintern123456 has "remove British POV" on the User Page, so I definitely think these are sockpuppets.

That was the message. I am convinced these Users are sockpuppets. Acalamari 19:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath editprotected tag

The edit request was posted in the edit summary. Sorry, I guess I should have put it in the body of the discussion next to the tag.

Please see the very recent article history to see that this is true. Diffs: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] In other words, this is not an edit war, its an issue of repeated vandalism by the same person.

Overzealous readers want their cities to read vanilla even though the truth may hurt. I hate seeing some truths written about places I lived or even jobs I had but history has written the verdict and Wikipedia is recording it.

I gathered by your removal of the protected tag, you are higher up in the food chain than I. That's why I did not want to reverse you. Thanks, Ronbo76 05:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, the edit by user:BlankVerse is one of the respected editors of our WP:CAL project. If he leaves something in or makes an edit, it's almost carved in stone. Ronbo76 05:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Plus, I started a talk page about the edit war. Hopefully that will put a stop to it or give our WP:CAL editors a firm leg to stand on. Ronbo76 05:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

help with persistent NPOV edits

I wonder if you could help me. I find myself caught up in a discussion with an anonymous contributor who appears to have a strong and narrow agenda. I have asked this person to discuss changes to this page - History of IBM - before making more changes. This person has flatly refused.

Could you take a look at the edit history for the page in question, and the Discussion page for that page, and the history of edits made by the anonymous user to that page and advise me on how to proceed? Thanks. Paul 17:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking of Dino

Hi Luna,

Are you aware that you helped unblock a user, Dino, who claimed that he contacted the author of a particularly contentious article, and then claimed that this author said that he never wrote said article here (when he did write the article - and it's even archived on his website!) - and based on this info, a Wiki Foundation employee (who is not an especially active editor) User:Carolyn-WMF edited a contested article and removed critical material based on these false claims by Dino? proof here I look forward to a complete investigation of this matter, and find the utter unresponsiveness of this WMF employee and another Foundation member, Danny Wool, when questioned about this matter by two Admins and two editors more than a little troubling.

This user (User:82.23.36.174) who you previously temporarily blocked last fall for vandalism is at it again. (see his/her talk page) - I removed the vandalism I spotted, which the user did a few days ago, noted it on the user's talk page, and reported him/her on the Administrators noticeboard. He received a final warning again before this recent act of vandalism, so I think he should be permanently blocked, if that is possible given that it's an anonymous IP address-identified user...What do you think?NYDCSP 16:14, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Username Change.

Luna Santin, there is a new User who would like to change her Username. She wants to change it from Sashajackson to Sasha Jackson. I have been in E-mail contact with this User, as on her Userpage it said about her being an upcoming actress. She said something about her account going to expire on the 31st of this month. I have confirmed that this User is who she says she is and not an imposter. I visited her website, E-mailed her, and confirmed who this User is. Sasha Jackson doesn't have enough Wikipedia experience to know how to request a Username change. Is there anything you can do to change her name or not? If not, she plans to create a new account called Sasha Jackson. She is not interested in sockpuppetry, she just wants her Username to be Sasha Jackson. Acalamari 20:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I'll tell her this then. However, I just hope other Users don't block her new account tsimply because it's similar to Sashajackson. After all, she is a good-intentioned new User. Acalamari 21:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may recall your unblock of Miltopia - you wrote at my request that his unblock was "remaining unblocked will rely on staying as far away from MONGO as possible." I suggest that Miltopia's vigorous defence of Rootology, who was banned (not blocked, banned) by Arbcom for harassing MONGO and myself is verging on a violation of this prohibition. I would ask that you review User:WWest and User:Desnm, and Miltopia's edits here and here and here.

Picture Question.

I have a question about pictures on Userpages. I have seen Users place pictures from Wikipedia on their Userpages. If a picture on Wikipedia has been confirmed to be copyrighted, but has been allowed for use on Wikipedia, can Users use that picture on their own Userpages? For example, if I wanted to, could I put this picture of the Enterprise-E on my Userpage if the picture was allowed to be on Wikipedia? I'm just asking, in case other Users might be breaking a rule I don't know about. Acalamari 22:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I wasn't actually going to add any pictures. I was just asking because I've seen Users add pictures from Wikipedia to their Userpages. My own Userpage is fine enough with text and a few Userboxes. Acalamari 23:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Achaea Article Deletion Tag Removal

May I wonder on what basis you've removed the tag for deletion on the article Achaea (MUD)? The debate by no means achieved the state when the participants have agreed to a solution, nor was the majority for keeping the article. In fact, most arguments for KEEP were based on the fact that the game has won awards, for which neither of the participants has found a proof or evidence of any sort!

The later arguments were mainly stating that it's a "great game" from a notable company (consisting of a approx. of 10 employees) and thus has to be kept. Now with all due respects, this does not fall under our notablity policy. The statement that it is a "the most popular MUD" is also false, as you can see by checking the actual webpage given. Aardwolf is the most popular MUD, while Achaea ranks from place 2 to 3. Quite a number of people agreed for keep have stated that they are not familiar with the MUD, falling into the "You don't have to make a recommendation on every nomination; consider not participating if: A nomination involves a topic with which you are unfamiliar. " category.

What disturbs me is that you didn't add a single comment on the deletion rejection procedure, except tending towards keep, and simply decided to reject the deletion. May I now wonder how your decision, which clearly goes against the opinions of 80% of the posters, is objective? Perhaps I'd be wise to actually read the argument instead of calculating the keep/delete ration, as this is not a vote. Even more so, the article does not need to improve. The question was notablity, not the quality of the article!

I strongly recommend you to revert the page back to the initial state, wait for the end of the concensus and read before clicking. Very poor perfomance.

84.163.92.250 01:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A few responses:

AfD discussions are generally left open for five days -- AfD itself is backlogged, currently, and this particular discussion was open for seven, two more than is regular practice.
A debate which reaches no consensus (another conclusion I considered) will default to keep.
AfD (indeed, hardly any discussion on the wiki) is not a vote. The number of editors voting for any particular result is useful only as a partial gauge -- far more important are the individual issues each voice raises, and the strength of those points, especially as regards Wikipedia policy and guidelines.
Even if we were to count votes, the total would come to 7 keeps and 5 deletes. The majority of users favored keeping the article.
Closing admins aren't supposed to comment on the discussion -- doing so violates our neutrality and poses a conflict of interest. Far from participating in the discussion, we're only supposed to act on policy, guideline, and community consensus.

If you disagree with my closing of the discussion, you're more than welcome to make a request at deletion review, or to wait awhile and begin a second discussion, as you like. Luna Santin 01:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1.) My statement: "Perhaps I'd be wise to actually read the argument instead of calculating the keep/delete ration, as this is not a vote." Your reply: "AfD (indeed, hardly any discussion on the wiki) is not a vote." Conclusion: Yes, thank you for repeating after me. Well done.

2.) My statement: "In fact, most arguments for KEEP were based on the fact that the game has won awards, for which neither of the participants has found a proof or evidence of any sort!" Your reply: "Even if we were to count votes, the total would come to 7 keeps and 5 deletes. The majority of users favored keeping the article." Conclusion: Once again, thank you for reading and counting.

3.) Your statement: "Far from participating in the discussion, we're only supposed to act on policy, guideline, and community consensus." My reply: "Ahm... Policy and guidelines tell you to follow the concensus. The consensus was a Delete, apart from statements like "good game", "keep, but I know nothing about it" and "it won awards"(which it hasn't, for more read the logs)." Conculusion: The administrators have some secret policy they follow, which the normal mortals are not allowed to read.

Now to be completely honest with you, how can a sane person with an objective view on the matter miss all of those tiny moments before judging anything? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.163.92.250 (talk) 27 January 2007

Interesting -- a moment ago, you said 80% of posters voted to delete, and now it seems you've forgotten saying that, instead choosing to argue from the most arrogant position possible. Surely someone who claims to have an intimate understanding of general practice and policy would be fully aware of the means by which they could sign their posts. As much as I try to be open with discussion, it seems to me that you're trying to bait me. With that in mind, feel free to make that request at deletion review and see what the community at large thinks of my action. Luna Santin 03:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Block of User:Miradu

You recently blocked Miradu (talk · contribs), I have a couple of gripes with this.

The first and foremost was with the way the vandal was blocked. They were blocked after two incidents of vandalism and without being given any warnings. Granted, they only had four edits, but only two of them were vandalism, and neither was what I would term severe vandalism. I'm deeply concerned that you treated this user so harshly, because you bit a newbie. Yes they were out of line adding junk to Talk:Reality, but they are still a newbie and deserve some soft handling and at least one warning before blocking.

The second and more minor gripe is that in doing so you created an autoblock that affected all of Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, that IP is now marked as shared, but please, be careful when you block. --Matthew 07:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so upset about the autoblock as about the fact users are getting blocked without any warnings. I understand the autoblock is not directly due to your actions. It's just really distasteful that we're willing to drop our standards for fighting vandalism just because they're a bunch of them at once. If nothing else, every vandal needs to be warned once in their lifetime with bv or test4, otherwise we're just biting newbies. The article got protected, the horde could only do but so much. --Matthew 07:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of Truthiness

Hi, you fully protected this article in response to vandalism. Would it be alright if this was changed to semi-protection as all the vandalism came from IPs, I can't see a need to fully protect at this time. Thanks. Trebor 07:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
