User talk:J.delanoy/Archive 23
Greetings!Greetings J.delanoy! Sorry to generate even more work for you, but a user you blocked recently, User talk:208.68.153.242, has started vandal editing again now that the block is up. His/her/their edits have been reverted by other editors without any warnings and as I'm not the reverting editor, not sure if I can jump in there to add further warnings prior to further future blocks. Either way, in case these edits had slipped your notice, maybe you can check it out. Cheers - and thanks for being out there! --Technopat (talk) 01:39, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
User:64.130.72.179hello, J.delanoy. i just saw the vandalism that this IP user was perpetrating on the Carol Browner article. i think you are way too forgiving. i would have blocked the creep permanently after the third incident. (i'm no fan of Carol Browner). no need to respond. just my 2 cents worth. Kenatipo (talk) 02:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC) The RazziesHi. I noticed your removals and then reverts on actor articles that added the Razzie award template. I am going to remove them, mostly because when WP:ACTOR debated and finally concluded to remove the parameters from the Template:Infobox actor, at no point in the debate did anyone support retaining the Razzie award parameter. The decision was basically that Razzies are bad faith parody awards, not legitimate industry or critical awards, are subject to voting by anyone who cares to pay the $25 fee to be a voter and ultimately wouldn't be listed on article filmographies or otherwise. My view is that WP:ACTOR has already made a conclusion about adding the template. If this is disupted, I will gladly open an WP:RfC at WT:ACTOR and I am absolutely positive of the outcome. Although these templates have been around for a while, they haven't been added to the articles until today by a new editor. Just wanted to let you know my reasoning.

WikitableHello there J.delanoy. Are you any good with Wikitables? If you are, please look at User:Razorflame#Current editing statistics I would like that to be in a table with headers that say the following: Header 1 (first column header) says Namespace :::: Header 2 (second column header) says Edit count :::: Header 3 (third column header) says Percentage of edits. Do you think you could do that for me, seeing as I suck at that kind of thing? Please let me know on my talk page whether or not you can help me. Thanks, Razorflame 19:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC) Additional questions for you.Hello, J.delanoy. You have new messages at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Wurdalak. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. --Jayron32 00:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

You're invited!
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Wikipedia Loves Landmarks, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example particular problems posed by Wikipedia articles about racist and anti-semitic people and movements (see the September meeting's minutes). In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back. You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list. Thanks...... for getting rid of this guy. I was about to report him. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 20:00, 3 November 2009 (UTC) CSD?Hi J, I came across this article: Naked Pumpkin Run and am wondering if it falls under the "No context" criteria for speedy deletion?

I have strong reason to believe that IP User:98.26.40.33 is now blocked user:BillNyeIsaG. Both were vandalizing Bill Nye. Thanks, Tom A8UDI 00:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of List of simple dichotomiesHi, I noticed you speedied that article. I am unsure C5 applied, since me and another editor had indeed contributed to the article (mostly trimming it) after its creation. I wonder if it is possible to have it userfied under User:Cyclopia/List of dichotomies (without "simple") or if there are issues I am not aware of that prevent recreation. I would like to bring it to a meaningful shape. Thanks! --Cyclopiatalk 17:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

WarningUm...you may want to check out this, this, this this and this. it appears that PW got remaned to some really long name that I can't spell. However, PW has remained a seperate account, and Is now being used for vandilism by (wongly) stating that CE is a sock of NoR. regards (I really need to get started on my wikibrake.)--Orangesodakid 19:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
If you think I vandalize, it is your right, but banning this ip would just prove that you do not care for unregistered users, I have a contributed this encyclopedia for a long time and many times my edits were automatically reverted by some RETARDS or bots just because I wasn't registered going as far as being banned for adding information (and sources) to articles which now have the information kept on them because I was persistent and kept putting my changes until no bot or RETARD would automatically revert it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.179.177.244 (talk • contribs)

Thank you!It will be a pleasure to take a six-month break from Bambifan101. Thank you for blocking that range. Would it be possible to do the same with that 74.249 range as well? If not, I understand. It's just nice to know we'll have some relief. Bless you. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
No sweat, J. Thanks for all you do. Gonna run, but thanks yet again. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC) You have a minute?Could you check the sites referenced here and here? The pages wouldn't load for me and I have reverted the IP's edits based on that. I have messaged the IP with no response. If you can get the pages to load I will go back and undo my reverts. Oh...thanks for the revert on my talk :) Tiderolls 07:01, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Can you take a look?At the WP:AIV report for Coercorash (talk · contribs). Despite many warnings, and two editors reverting, he's continuing at his absurd stuff. Page move vandalism, redirecting a long standing article to a POV fork he created and so on. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 07:06, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Full agreement with your thoughts on the cult-ish fundraising banner......but isn't this just a bit of an overreaction?

Speedy-Deletion of "The MadHatters"Hello, Early today the article named "The MadHatters" was speedy-deleted citing G12 as well as G7 and G11. This stated that some of the material under the 'History' section of this article was copied from http://www.casa.org/node/2058. In fact, the information on http://www.casa.org/node/2058 was provided to the Contemporary A Cappella Society by The UW MadHatters as profile/biographical information. It was created by the MadHatters and can also be seen on their website http://www.uwmadhatters.com/content/view/madhatters_in_history/. This fact was posted on the Talk:The MadHatters page after CorenSearchBot notified me (the page's creator) of the possible copyright infringement. Because this information was created by The MadHatters and provided to http://www.casa.org/node/2058, it should not be considered copyright infringement. I would greatly appreciate your time and consideration in the matter of hopefully undeleting this article. Thank you Bernecker (talk) 22:55, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Invitation to participate in SecurePoll feedback and workshopAs you participated in the recent Audit Subcommittee election, or in one of two requests for comment that relate to the use of SecurePoll for elections on this project, you are invited to participate in the SecurePoll feedback and workshop.

I've recently picked up the mop and am still learning the toops and procedures. I'm presently looking at possibly cleaning up recent attacks in User talk:NJGW through a delete and selective restore operation, as you did several months back. I understand the delete and restore steps. However, when I look at the deleted revisions, I see that most of the prior edit summaries have been replaced with "

Hmm..Was this too rude when I gave this warning to the user you blocked: 'This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Zelda Fitzgerald, you will be blocked from editing. You think we can't tell when you lie? Stop '. I'd like your opinion. Thanks A8UDI 02:42, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Removal of accessHello J.delanoy. Unfortunately I am no longer as active as I was on vandalism/spam fighting on this wiki and I do not want to hold unused flags I request you to remove my rollback flags here. As you know I'm a global rollbacker and it seems that per policy I am allowed to use it so if some day I found any vandalism or spam I think it should not be a problem to use it and, of course, in the event any admin would require me to have local rollback again I will request it through the normal ways. Thank you, --Dferg (talk) 21:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

MajorMinorMarkYou blocked this guy for sockpuppetry. It's likely that he is someone's sock (judging from the edit history, and his knowledge of policy), but he's not been overtly disruptive, and he's actually been helpful in the ongoing sockfest surrounding "team touchdown". Could you fill us in on what's going on? Thanks. Horologium (talk) 03:12, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

RFCU inquiryHello. I was meaning to create an SPI, but it was hard for me to follow, and because I know you here a lot, I was hoping you could help me! Please check the page history on Todd Field, an article I created. By observing the edit summaries of the accounts in red, I believe they are under control of a main user. Perhaps the user forgot their password and is creating new accounts? Plus, most of the users are contributing only to pages related to Field. The period of time when there has been most activity from these possible "socks" was in the spring this year. So, what are your observations? Thanks. Schfifty3 04:39, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Another curiosityHi again! I realized I should have responded to the RFCU post, but I don't think I will right now. I am curious: on Mediawiki.org, I see a lot of reverts in your contribs. Do you use your own bot, or do you manually revert but include the standard edit summary (Reverted edits by User1 to last version by User2)? Link: [2] Thanks, Schfifty3 00:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
RE:November 2009I do not know what do you mean. ALL the media are saying the suspect is Ampatuan's family clan. So why put a misleading picture into the infobox? A warlord's personal clan is very different from Guerrilla rebellion forces.--1j1z2 (talk) 06:17, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
regarding PickbothmanlolI know AGF and all, but he was socking as recently as yesterday, see User talk:MajorMinorMark. Not sure if you were aware that he was. If you were, and have chosen to unblock him anyways, that's cool. However, I just thought it'd be useful if you had all the details. --Jayron32 02:48, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
You might be interested in WP:ANI#Five-year-old deletion discussion reopened. Hans Adler 07:44, 26 November 2009 (UTC) Your recent additions to Talk:ItalyI think what you are saying is that a user involved in the issue under discussion has been identified as having sockpuppets who have also been involved. And that they have all been blocked. But I don’t think that’s going to be very clear to everyone reading the page. Perhaps you might clarify there? Ian Spackman (talk) 23:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Protection of Ngo Dinh Diem presidential visit to AustraliaHi J.delanoy, thanks for protecting Ngo Dinh Diem presidential visit to Australia. I was going to request it, but then I realized it was a front-page article and that was probably why it was getting hit so hard. I had heard in the past that these articles were rarely protected because their increased visibility to vandals should correlate with increased visibility to anti-vandalism users, as well, so I was curious of your decision process here. What made you decide to protect it anyway? I only ask because I would like to try to get a better understanding of when WP:RPP is appropriate and when it's not. Thanks again! And try to take a break every once in a while; I always see you around working too hard ;) --Mpdelbuono (talk) 03:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
KNUSTI disagree with your reasoning, and have opened a discussion at WT:CP#Combination of CC-BY + "All Rights reserved". And while I have no issues with different interpretations, I would appreciate feedback when you overturn one of my WP:CP clearances. Among others because if I'm wrong, I'd need to change the way I work, to prevent future occurences. Best, MLauba (talk) 09:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC) Hi there!
