Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:32, 25 September 2007

I am currently very busy in real life. I will check here and respond to questions about my own actions and edits, but I will not respond to requests for assistance on other matters. Please see the appropriate noticeboard for assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

Open proxy

I have a question with regard to the use of open proxies. A recent checkuser showed that AlexanderPar (talk · contribs) is using an open proxy . Isn't it against the rules, for instance WP:NOP (which is still being developed, but still)? Grandmaster 09:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

OPs are blocked when theyt are found but editors who use them are not blocked unless there is other evidence of disruption. Thatcher131 16:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for clarification. --Grandmaster 15:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Arash the Bowman

Hi Thatcher. You said the last time at AE board that editors need to provide diffs for every report, but I think this case might be an exception. Could you please have a look at contributions of Arash the Bowman (talk · contribs)? The contributions of this editor consist exclusively of reverts, and he turned up after a very long absence just to make a massive rv to Azerbaijan without any edit summary whatsoever. This account made only 5 edits since January 2007, of them 3 rvs and 1 vote for deletion. Isn't this strange? And aren’t there too many accounts that only turn up to rv articles without any useful contribution? --Grandmaster 14:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

The decision is not meant to interfere with normal editing by reasonable editors, but to restrict editors who make aggreessive biased edits marked by incivility. It would be helpful to whoever reviews the request to show at least some examples of this so the admin doesn't have to go digging through the person's history.

Here's the latest example. After a long absence Arash returned only to make an rv of all Atabek's edit without any explanation whatsoever. Is this an acceptable behavior? Grandmaster 18:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Skip Ellison

Dear Thatcher,

Haven't contacted you in a long time; hope everything is going well with you.

I have a non-controversial request for you, on something I simply don't know how to accomplish. An article was recently re-established for Robert Lee "Skip" Ellison, and as far as I can tell it's existence is not contested by anyone. However, months ago it had been deleted and the name Skip Ellison was redirected to Ar nDraiocht Fein, a page about an organization he is the present leader of, but which does not even mention him. Now that Robert Lee "Skip" Ellison is back, I'd just like to see Skip Ellison redirect to it, which seems logical. But I just don't know how to change a re-direct. Could you either take care of this or tell me how to do it? Thanks, Rosencomet 19:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

If you click on Skip Ellison you will be taken to Ar nDraiocht Fein, but at the top of the page it will say "redirected from Skip Ellison." You can then click on that link and it will take you to the redirect page. Edit the page to replace the target with the one you want. It should be in the format of #REDIRECT ]. See how that works.

Hipi Zhdripi

It appears that Hipi Zhdripi has recently started to violate his Kosovo ban with his main account - see these edits . TML 18:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

You win

I love it when people bring out pictures . The best one was the "beating the dead horse" picture posted during the Essjay RfC, though that was later deleted due to probable copyright infringement (people were saying that the man beating the horse looked an awful lot like Michael Bolton from Office Space). hbdragon88 22:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I was very careful to get a picture from commons. :) Thatcher131 23:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The horse image was from the commons. hbdragon88 23:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Allow me

Problem again

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Porthos (Star Trek)

Ned Scott nominates the article for deletion right after my edits and gets a belly laugh. Now I am seriously getting annoyed. What was the point of the RfC? Is it time for an RfAr? I do not want a second Davenbelle at my tail. Please assist. This message is also sent to User:Tony Sidaway -- Cat 07:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Ned Scott has no edits whatsoever on Porthos (Star Trek), Jonathan Archer or the talk pages prior to my involvement. -- Cat 07:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Uh, maybe it was about your talk page signature. OH SHIT, I FOLLOWED YOU AGAIN. hahahahahaha. --- Ned Scott 09:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
