User talk:NativeForeigner/Archive/Archive-July-Dec2010
It looks like yesterday Krist went and added in images I suggested on the talk page, he was told on the ANI to not do that and let someone else add images, but he went ahead and did it. And 182 went and reverted him again. 182 is WELL beyond 3RR, even ignoring warnings (I gave him a warning last time and he deleted it off his talk page). I don't see any resolution to the issue so long as 182 has the ability to revert, which hes demonstrating he will not stop doing. — raeky (talk | edits) 14:08, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Also note 182's edit history, he tried to forum shop again to get the pages locked on RfPP, he deleted his last warning from his talk page right after posting the request to lock the pages on RfPP, and was warned again by another admin not to do that. — raeky (talk | edits) 14:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC) The New Guinea Singing Dog WarsA highly contested article, New Guinea Singing Dog seems at time to be suffer from, among other things, sockpuppets.

Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 16:21, 4 July 2010 (UTC) Re: Batman film (2012) deletionTwo things:
I had the in use template on the article because I was adding reliable sourced citations because I saw it's AfD listing. The article gets WP:V hits as the result of an interview given by its director, Christopher Nolan to Empire magazine which is cited. Additionally, Wally Pfister back in April spilled the beans on movie, how it would be shot (not in 3D) and that Nolan had greenlighted several concepts. I had cited Pfister's article as well. I think if you review my work and citations, my iVote would have been a Speedy Keep because of the WP:RS citations introduced. I do work on WP:OLD AfDs and hoped to be the deciding vote on this one. ----moreno oso (talk) 05:37, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

blocking & reblockingHey, you might not have noticed, but you don't have to unblock anymore to change a block -- there's a "change block" option at the block log, and simply attempting to block an already blocked user will give you the option to change it as well.

Thanks, and congratulations!Hi, NF. Just wanted to thank you for closing the AfD discussion for International Sustainable Energy Agency (and to congratulate you on your recent admin accession!). A small thing, certainly, but a necessary one, and I think people tend to undervalue wikignome work, and not say "thanks" for it often enough. So thanks!

List of Masonic buildingsFYI. I have upgraded the protection level on the List of Masonic buildings article to three days of full protection, since the RfPP request cited a content dispute and requested full protection. (Generally, full protection is used for a content dispute to force auto-confirmed editors to resolve their differences in the talk page. See WP:Protection policy#Content disputes. Please pardon me if I'm telling you something you already know.) Feel free to update as you see fit if you disagree. By the way, congratulations on your successful RFA and associated broom handle. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 01:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether or not I am allowed to reply to this box so I've decided to do it here. I had thought for a while now, after abandoning the investigation, that it had been further commented upon and closed, with some hopeful result or outcome. I simply stopped posting on the page after the user nearly vanished (as seen here) almost subsequently after the Omega Point (Tipler) article, a page to which said user had made significant and important contributions, had been converted into a redirect per the general consensus on the talkpage. Frankly speaking, it doesn't seem that important anymore, after Jamiemichelle seemed a bit more willing to cooperate. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 06:24, 20 July 2010 (UTC) Deletion review for Epic BrowserAn editor has asked for a deletion review of Epic Browser.

First attempt at SPIHey there. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. I could use a little help if you don't mind. I just looked at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ksweith and blocked all the confirmed accounts. Is that the right way to go about it? Do we block accounts that haven't edited (in this case, SMA1989) even if they're confirmed? And what's the right way to handle that IP? Based on this edit they claim not to be the editor. Probably not going to indef block based on this, but the record is there, so if edits from that IP come through won't they just be blocked long term? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:08, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

AN3Good close - welcome to the team :). I put the result in the section heading to make it easier to see the backlog at a glance, but other than that all your ies appear dotted and aitches crossed. Looking at the level of discussion and editing, I concur that blocking that particular editor and no others was a better solution than blocking multiple editors or protecting the article.

I don't want to add this to a person's page with missing information and not be able to answer their question. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:23, 10 October 2010 (UTC) hidden archive topFYI, since you were the one who closed the AfD on that template. I've removed the AfD closure notice from the page. The AfD discussion lasted less than 24 hours, which is way too hasty, and I don't believe we can honestly claim that result as meaningful. If you disagree, we should probably take it up over at Pump (policy) for clarification. P.s. did you mean to link to wp:SNOW in your closure? It seems an odd choice, unless you were trying to imply that the AfD should not have been begun in the first place. --Ludwigs2 03:16, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

As far as I can understand is the mention, or to be more precise mentions, there are two of them, far from cursory, that is; without the poll, no articles. Are you putting a different meaning into cursory? And one might ad that this is not a mention, it's a bit more. I know he hit the front page om a "IT news paper" (a daily) But that is several years ago, the actual edition is not available electronically. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cecilia Anderson (talk • contribs) 10:45, 23 October 2010 (UTC) I might find one or two other articles.

I do not vandalize the article, and I am committed to adding sources for Wikipedia whenever possible to back up what is mentioned in the article.

I took your advice and went to Meta with the problem; the answer, I think, will be to globally block individual IPs as they appear. I was intrigued by this part of your comment:
I've just assumed the person is using some mix of the following:
I've not bothered to analyze the IP patterns beyond making this set of assumptions. Is there something I'm missing? Is there something more systematic going on? I posted a note last month at de.wikipedia's "embassy page" I got one response which referred me to 2 user subpages:
I don't know if there's more info there that could be useful or that tells us more than what we already know.

HelloA while ago you enforced a permanent block for dozens of sockpuppets against a user called User:Vega61(overall, a sock of Yattum). I was wondering if it would be possible to do an investigation on User:E_Bilko. Vega61 made numerous edits to the page Military Aircraft Insignia, replacing valid SVG roundels and markings with inferior and often incorrect PNGs and SVGs of his own work, often with minimal sources. He was pushy, rude, and did not accept proof from others when he was wrong. User: E Bilko is now in a similar pattern, so similar infact that I would bet very much that he is indeed another sock of Yattum. I've been watching for over a month, and am now absolutely certain. His behaviour, his wording, his work, all are almost identical. This includes the uploading of the exact same file by first Vega61, and now by E Bilko. The way he names his files are also extremely similar, and I can give alot of evidence towards this. He appears to only wish to promote and force his work on here against valid files. IDK how to start an investigation myself, but I felt you would be the best person to contact, considering your enforcing the block on Vega61. Fry1989 (talk) 03:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
