User talk:Nishkid64/Archive 53GREETINGSWish you a Happy New Year.BobClive--BobClive (talk) 07:44, 1 January 2009 (UTC)--BobClive (talk) 07:44, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Happy New YearFollowing upHi Nishkid. You turned down my request at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Shustov on the basis of drop dead WP:DUCK obviousness (which I'm fine with). Now I've got another IP editor who's making the same revert to the same article, in the same way, and with the same lack of discussion. I still haven't had any (logged-in) response from Shustov (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) to pointed requests to discuss the issue. While I still suspect that WP:DUCK holds, the new IP is from a different ISP. The first revert ([1]), yesterday, was from , which whois says is a Road Runner IP. The second IP revert ([2]) comes from , which is nominally owned by AT&T Internet Services. Could I ask you to consider applying some of the CheckUser-brand Magic Wiki Pixie Dust™ to the situation now? I don't know if this is just a user-at-home versus user-at-work issue, or if I'm dealing with multiple anons and need to call in the cavalry. Many thanks, and happy new year!

Happy New Year!Dear Nishkid64, Wishing you a happy a new year, and very best wishes for 2009. Whether we were friends or not in the past year, I hope 2009 will be better for us both. Kind regards, Majorly talk 21:00, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Checkuser resultsHello! Regarding this, please check out this IP as it seems to be in the same range as the other confirmed ones and is immediately jumping into MfD and ANI threads. Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 03:05, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Happy New Year!Thanks for all those CU lookups and copyedits again. Here's to Fanboy! YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 03:45, 2 January 2009 (UTC) This account was created immediately after I blocked User:Ontopofcosts, and its first two edits were reversals of User:Algebraic123's edits, i.e. a continuation of the edit war. Later you blocked User:Ontopofcosts indefinitely as a sock of User:Hkelkar. May I ask you check User:Barracuda_the_song as well? I also noticed another interesting account User:Panunkashmir, which may also need a CU. Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year! Ruslik (talk) 11:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Noah's ArkHi Nishikid. Thanks for your interest in the Noah's Ark article, but as a newcomer to it there is a certain amount of background you need to know. First, the section you say is about "scientific evaluation," isn't. It's about the literalist pov. I should know, because I wrote it. When I came to the article, about 2 years ago, it was entirely about the literalist pov - the whole article. You think that section is long now, well it was far longer then, and had no critical evaluation of the literalist pov whatsoever. So a group of us cut the literalism right back and added a lot about the treatment of the Ark as a piece of literature. And that's what the Ark really is, literature. Religious literature, but literature. Right now I'm trying to add something about modern biblical criticism of the story, but to do that I need to cut back the literalism section so that the two will be about the same size. Otherwise, the idea that the Ark is real will just continue to dominate the article, to the exclusion of other points of view. PiCo (talk) 19:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC) CupertinoGood job on this RFCU Nish, but as he's in a RFAR now, we've decided on a conditional unblock. I posted this on his talk page: "You have been unblocked by arbcom but are limited to participation in your arbcom case pages, own user page, and own user talk page. Edits to other pages during the next two weeks will result in immeditate reblock from that point for a full more two weeks." — Rlevse • Talk • 20:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Hmm...There's a reason why I didn't ask the ArbCom to CU GMC... and you ran the CU. :p - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 21:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Suggestion at Noah's Ark involving youHi. I've made a suggestion at Noah's Ark that you should be asked to revise the section/subsections on literalism. I did this because I understood you to have earlier expressed an interest, and because, as a new-comer, you'll be outside the mutual antagonisms that infest the page and its editors. But I thought I better tell you about it and not let it come as a complete surprise.

And why don't you people just let me do my job? And claim that a public computer ID is a sockpuppet of mine is simply moronic! Unblock it!... Or do you think I can't get another computer?... It's contraproductive!... G.-M. Cupertino (talk) 10:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC) Can you restore the Aticle lead to Normal before edit-warring..... Dharmasthala (Kannada: ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ) to Dharmasthala (Tulu, Kannada: ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ) As per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dharmasthala&diff=261257074&oldid=261110454 C21K was the first one to remove Tulu. Actually, South Canara is diferent from Karnataka. The dominant language is Tulu there, and not Kannada as the rest of K'taka. Dharmasthala has been a holy town for Mangaloreans since many centuries. Tulu has a lot of significance for the temple town. C21K claims that he visited the town and found it's a city only for Kannadigas and hence removed Tulu. What nonsense is this? Does Wikpedia work on oral statements or does it work on published reliable sources. Unless and unless it is proved that it's a town only for Kannadigas, may I request you to restore the article to normal and readd Tulu. Thanks, KensplanetTC 06:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Dharmastala has been for centuries been in South Canara and is influenced by Tulu. (by kensplanet)

At the moment, his drive by IP reversions are a minor annoyance; he seems to change one or two things a day that can easily be reverted. However, he seems to have a vendatta against me. His last reversion was of a redirect i did for an article that followed a "merge" AfD; this AfD was a little heated and involved a number of new users. I'm concerned if he reverts this again it could lead to drama. The diff is here: [[4]]. If you have a second when your online would appreciate semi so that IPs can't edit that redirect.

I found that my IP address (162.83.128.0/17 according to the notice. I'm not really technical, so I couldn't say.) was disabled by you until next Thursday because something called "CheckUser" determined it has been used abusively. I was a little surprised that this was all it said (it seems to me that notifying someone of what they did that was considered abuse - the charges against them - is just minimal decency) and I honestly can't recall ever doing anything anyone could regard as abusive. It isn't really a problem for me as my registered account is not blocked and I always edit and talk from there (except occasionally when I absentmindedly failed to notice I was not signed in) anyway. But I am wondering why I was blocked? If I did something that is considered abusive, I would like to know specifically what so that I can watch my behavior (or alternately, challenge the characterization) in the future. Although I am not the only person who has ever had access to this machine, it is not public (it is in my home), and it seems unlikely (though admittedly not impossible) that someone else used it in an abusive manner. Do IP addresses change? I have several problems with my ISP account and to reset various things on the computer. Are you sure you are talking about me? On another note, I would like to recommend that the notices and "what to do" and "how to appeal sections be rewritten. The directions are not at all comprehensible and when I tried to follow them found that as a blocked IP - you can't (at least I couldn't). I know that all the technical vols. are way overworked, but it might be an idea to just put a simple button for "appeal" on the notice. 162.83.175.178 (talk) 22:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC) (When I tried to post the above, it gave me an error message and said that it could not process the edit. It also kicked me out so I was signed by my IP rather than my user account. So I am reposting. Sorry if this appears twice as a result, but at least it will have my registered name.)

As you checked on Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Eichikiyama and range-blocked underlying IPs of the Sockpuppeter for 3 month, could you look at another sockpuppet named Pkakita (talk · contribs · page moves · current autoblocks · block log) who self-claims as 210.175.255.217 (talk · contribs)? The IP is designated to internet cafe in Japan, and the sock has appears to avoid scrutiny after the blocking. Now the IP user creates his account, Pkakita (talk · contribs) and I believe this one is the same as Eichikiyama, Azukimonaka or other indef.blocked Sockpuppeter given the timing and same writing patterns. The sockpuppeter has been harassing me based on my ethnicity rather focusing on arguments. That can be seen at Talk:History of Japan#Caspian blue's Proposal and Talk:History of Japan#Caspian blue's Proposal (the second). I aso found that the way of argument and format are very similar to
Could you take a look at this? Thanks.--Caspian blue 14:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC) Rebuttal to Caspian blueCaspian blue is demanding to add "The ancient Japanese emperors was Korean descendant" to the history of Japan. To the best my knowleg, His insistence is not common sense of the history of Japan. I requested him to present grounds of the insistence. He said "Could you provide diffs that I insisted that "Ancient Japan was being ruled by Korean."? Many scholars claim as such though. I think I restored your blanking of "rulers of Japan seems to be Korean descendants". Anyway, don't worry. I'm preparing something to please for you. Well, here is just for a quick preview." And, he presented a lot of sources. [7] I reviewed this source one by one. His sources were not all "peer-reviewed". [8] I expected the next step of the discussion. However, he did not object. Instead, he said to me "sockpueppter","racist attack","clear harassment". [9] Imperial House of Japan is a Japanese symbol. I think that I should carefully discuss this problem. Can you mediate him? --Pkakita (talk) 11:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
