Comment from 59.95.3.62Hi Luna RE:block I am very sorry but i seen to have caused a problem by using my company name oops ,this was a total inocent oversight I only joined wikipedia on the day i was blocked so I am very new to how this works.

MfD and imminent deletion of WP:PAINIn 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) A User To BlockOpronc 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.

thanksThanks 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)
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) VandalHi. 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)
Another VandalHi. 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) 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). 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)

Thanks for watching out for meI'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) Thank youI 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) Question about a userHi 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)
Sir, this article is now undergoing peer review. The same anon editor who was trying to vandalise other articles you put an "anon block" on has now spread his fingers to this article as well. Could you please put a anon lock on this article as well.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 16:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC) 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?"
VandalismHi 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. I've reported him to AIV and asked for semi-protection, but neither is coming. Xiner (talk, email) 00:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC) Just thought I'd mention that when you archived this case, you forgot to put it in alphabetical order (o before u) [5]. Hopefully this will remind you for next time you're archiving :) Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 04:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC) WowI 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. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 12:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC) Heads up for yaTake a look at this. Looks like you've run across this user before. Just seeing if you'd like to add to the discussion.

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.

Dab styleHi, 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 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) ImpersonatorsA 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.

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.

Hello Luna.

Thanks for your help. Dino 19:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC) Unblocking of DinoHi 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. Fairness & Accuracy For All The user that you blocked, Maleabroad seems to have registered a different account: Brownguy20 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I mentioned it at AN/I but I'm not sure how often people go back to check that.

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)
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)

Achaea Article Deletion Tag RemovalMay 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)
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

HiNote on my talk: Can someone please update this list? WikiMan53 T/C e@ edits 04:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC) As I understand, the program only recognizes edits to the userlist if they're made by one of the VandalProof moderators -- I'll see if I can get one of them to take a look. Luna Santin 04:39, 27 January 2007 (UTC) Do you know when someone will come? Please respond on my talk. WikiMan53 T/C e@ edits 04:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC) Are you sure? WikiMan53 T/C e@ edits 04:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC) Rocky BalboaI don't really care that you blocked me, the changes I made were righteous. You guys have turned that page into some big fan page with a lot of babbling and useless content. It isnt objective and impartial at all. Something needs to be done, if you have the power, why dont you try to make a difference? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.221.12.13 (talk) 05:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC). HiI think the recent edits by user User:Sean mc sean need checking, I thought you might like to have look? SatuSuro 05:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
TaiwanloveI suspect that User:Taiwanlove is a sock puppet of User:Nationalist, can you find that out? Because Nationalist was having an argument, and this new user came supporting Nationalist. I found that weird.--Jerrypp772000 01:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC) RE: UberConWhat gives you the right to delete my page! One it is NOT blatant advertisment. the page wasn't even finished. It was simply meant to give information about a relativly successful gaming convention. Two, if you've got beef with conventions then you better delete the GenCon and San Diego Comic Con pages as well, if you haven't already. Ya jerk! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.121.64.255 (talk) 06:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
Not all done, shockinglyIt seems accounts have fallen though the net. As a test I was checking the logs of the users and came across this, which contains the creation of Seasonsgreetings6 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) which is the first one I've seen so far. There could be many more and I'm going to keep looking. –– Lid(Talk) 07:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
ThanksThanks It's good to have a protected page will kinda of miss the vandalizations made you feel like you were getting things done. Any way thanks Add yet another one to the huge list of things I owe you--St.daniel 12:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC) A block of yoursHi, could you see what I wrote on User talk:Jpgordon#Nwwaew vs Nwweaw, about a block appeal in a recent checkuser case? Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
A Vandalism Only Account.A user named Maddiedaniels seems to only vandalize. Recently, they went and added a load of information to Prussian Blue (duo) that violated NPOV. Also, this user has created nonsense pages which have been deleted. I think this user should be blocked, but I couldn't report them to AIV because the user was last given a warning a few months ago. Even so, this user only seems to vandalize or violate NPOV. Acalamari 02:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Barnstar
Block of User:MiraduYou 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)
Protection of TruthinessHi, 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)
Crazy IPsI realize that you are an active Admin right now. I just wanna warn you of the following IPs who've been crazy vandalizing:
Thanks. --JDitto 08:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Re: Request for unblockThanks for the unblock. Hey, if this takes out some vandal socks and sleepers, its worth being blocked for a little while! BTW: the school shared IPs you probably see me on (which I edit from frequency) are 208.108.145.3-4 and 11-12.

Ralbot 17:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Hi, it seems the "protect" of David Yeagley is still warranted (witness continued vandalism at regular intervals since your "unprotect"), unless it's better to block the IPs. They all appear to originate in the same location. Thanks again for your help. Badagnani 18:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC) SEGAHello there! I was hoping you could help me with something, or point me in the right direction. You recently did some of the username blocking due to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/SEGA. I have recently put three more there because of attacks on talk pages. As evidenced on my talk page at User talk:Moeron#I've got to hand it to you, this user admits that a ban will not stop him. Is my only solution to keep placing these (possible) puppets to that RFC page? Is the IP range blockable? -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 03:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC) You blocked him and he is back as User:Geomatician what do we do ? He does the same edits and same disruptions. For your review RaveenS 20:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Re:Sure, he's going to keep on bothering me anyway thanks. Nareklm 00:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Bismuth vandalismWOuld work better if instead of protecting the article, you'd just block IP 63.3.16.129 since that's where all the vandalism is coming from. SBHarris 02:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for Catching that Sneaky Page MoveThank you Luna for catching that sneaky page move :). I am currently heavily distracted with my monobook, I'm lacking all of Lupin's rollback links for some reason. Untitled messageWhat does the copyvio thing you put in when you erased my addition to the Insanity defense page mean? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stepupthefun (talk • contribs) 1 February 2007. It was part of a research paper I wrote in college. I'll make sure to note where things come from next time. Thanks for the advice. Stepupthefun 05:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC) I added the sources I got my information from in the reference section, in case some of what I added is kept. Stepupthefun 05:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC) |
