Newbie with problem article

Titch is giving me a headache. Could you take a look at its talk page and post your views, please? (Eh, I'm pesting you because you posted a welcome on my Talk page - it I'm barking up the wrong editor, or in the wrong place, let me know.) Elanna-Rose 21:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Magic underwear

You deleted Magic underwear (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) as CSD G10 - I searched for this term to find out what was being referred to when this term is used by various media personalities - I did eventually find Temple garment, but I have a question - was what you deleted simply a redirect? Just because something is offensive does not mean it should not be used as a redirect - it is a term that is being notably used to refer to it. (Temple garment itself is full of pro-LDS POV-pushing users, even up to a policy-violating "guideline" tag on the talk page, but that's beside the point) —Random832 13:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Confusion

Sorry about replacing that tag on your userpage. At first I thought it was a vandal, then it looked like some sort of dispute that I didn't want to get involved in. For the record, I've never thought you were a sockpuppet. :) *Gives you ice cream.* Cheers! -WarthogDemon 17:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you'll like my scathing review of your name!

Sure got your attention, didn't it? Only kidding pal, I wouldn't rip on a fellow Wikipidian. We're all like family around here. But seriously, I would appreciate if one would leave my pages alone, since I don't mess with yours.The TRUE Music Review 22:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I think you're incorrect. Supposing he didn't mean to vandalize; he just wanted to express his opinion? "Inappropriate appraisal" and "inappropriate insults" are not necessarily vandalisms; unless you ask him, you can't really know what his intentions were. He might not have known that you aren't supposed to say such things. This may be the first time we've spoken, but I must request that you be gentler to other users.

Question

I have a question for you, when you block someone's IP, can they just create a user name, and vandalize again? Like wise, when you block their screen name, can they just make a new one, and vandalize again? Ctjf83 05:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Boomerang Throwing Groups

Hi!

I spent ages collecting that information, and I even checked other wikipedia pages to make sure I wasn't wasting my time...

Please have a look at the list of international soccer clubs, then go to the tennis clubs list... and then let me know what was the difference with the listing of all the boomerang throwing clubs.

It listed (in order of country and state) almost every boomerang throwing group in the world. The ones that weren't listed were notified that they should add their own clubs to the list.

If you still feel that this page was justifiably deleted, then please delete all the other ones that *just list groups* as they contain EXACTLY the same information as the boomerang page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenny127 (talk • contribs) 09:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Klamath Falls Article

I realize that yea copying the text may have been too much but saying it in my own words may be incorrect and giving out incorrect data is not right.. tho it may not change your opinion on that.. i still believe you shouldnt put it in your own words because it may lead to giving out false information about that topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.1.127 (talk • contribs)

I apologize

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Misplaced Pages under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.

I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.

Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:

Adam Bishop, Amarkov, Antandrus, AntiVandalBot, Bdj (Badlydrawnjeff), Conk 9, CanbekEsen, DLand, Downwards, Eagle 101, Ericbronder, Gogo Dodo, High on a tree, Hut 8.5, Interiot, Jayjg, Jrwallac, Kingboyk, Kuru, Noclip, Patrick Berry, PFHLai, PhantomS, Pollinator, Rachack, Ranma9617, Rx StrangeLove, SlimVirgin, Tfrogner, TommyBoy, Vary, Woohookitty, Zzuuzz, and some anonymous IPs. (I also reverted one edit myself after it went unnoticed for three weeks.)

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Misplaced Pages against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.

If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Best regards, Shalom (Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Saint Louis Priory School Alumni

All alumni listed were put in by the original creator of the page, a monk and former teacher at the school who now resides in Washington, D.C., at the request of either the headmaster or a member of the administration. Sorry for all the red links. If it is a problem then it can easily be fixed. Thanks.

Thanks also for your kind words - I was a bit surprised as the article had never been vandalized (despite its stunning popularity ;-) ) before it was WP:TFA. Several useful edits were made though (two by IP addresses), and the vandalsim didn't last long, thanks to the efforts of many, yourself included. Yours, Ruhrfisch _><>° 20:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Well all right then!

Thanks for the advice on CSD tagging. I've had an incident before where I tagged a practical joke as nonesense only to have an administrator allow the article on the grounds that it wasn't nonesense. When I asked him about it, he helpfully responded that it was closer to vandalism, and so I've been tagging all hoaxes and other hard-to-categorize pages that way since. But now that I know where they belong, I'll be sure to mark vanity bios as {{db-bio}} from now on. Thanks again for the help! --jonny-mt(t)(c) 06:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Llajwa

I was just wondering about Llajwa (talk · contribs). No quibble with the block, of course, but as I was about to go to AIV, I checked his earlier contributions and they seemed reasonable and in good faith until the spree just now. I have a feeling the account was compromised in some way.

Yes, upon looking back at their edit history, I think you're right about the forgot to log out thing. I reset the block per a compromised account. -- Gogo Dodo 00:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I hope that's what happened (Now that I think about it, I hover (and probably glare) when I let someone within 10 yards of this computer. People have pointed that out to me :O) ) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:36, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Foxy Brown request for semi-protection

Thanks for taking the time to consider my request to semi-protect the page. I should note that I virtually "adopted" that entry, when I saw the amount of back-and-forth changes, obviously made by "fans" and "enemies" of the artist, i.e. anonymous posters whose only contributions were to this entry. I'm not fan nor an expert on rap, either! In any case, I'm giving up on that entry, for at least a month, and allow things to develop on their own. The Gnome 04:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, old buddy!

Of course I remember you! Anyone whose screen name ties in with Porky in Wackyland is pretty hard to forget.  :) Sadly, I'm becoming extremely frustrated with the way things are going. It's gotten to the point where this site is pretty much filled with anything of major importance. All the new articles seem to be about English footballers, obscure 18th Century politicians and occasional bios about other obsucre sports figures. In short, stuff I couldn't care less about. Gone are the days when I stumbled on red links like Ridge Route and was able to start with a good stub and turn it into a feature. Heck, none of my features are features anymore. So, I've been very careful about adding new content. One article I did called Uncle Don's Toys about a historic Palm Springs toy store was run up for AfD within fifteen seconds. Last night, I wrote HobbyZone Millennium PTU about a major new indoor micro-helicopter. Boom. Gone. I had written it on another wiki and was in the process of bringing it up to snuff when it was speedied for being advertising and of no importance. I've seen band vanity articles get better treatment. I put it on deletion review where (a) they're demanding slews of third-party sources and (b) a user is claiming that I'm having "fantasies of notability" about the thing. Hell, just because it's a commercial product doesn't make it an ad. Worse, I don't recognize any of these new users and admins. The admins are so overwhelmed with the real garbage that comes in on NPP that they bite at anything that doesn't have the significance of George Washington. Thanks for the welcome-home, but it isn't a very pleasant homecoming. Regards, --PMDrive1061 16:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm sorry it had to end this way...I managed to last a little over a month this time around...but these new users and new admins who are stuck on policy are just squeezing the life out of this place.

Reply

Thanks for the notification. I was experimenting with a final warning as such, and it was good to hear your side and feelings about that kind of a warning. What you explained about alerting the person that he was ARV'd makes sense: the vandal would speed up his vandalism attempts before being blocked. So I'll make sure to ARV a user or IP discretely. If you haven't already, I'll remove that message. Thanks a lot and I hope to keep in touch with you, as well as the other admins that hear my ARV messages. Also, on a side note, I didn't realize that another user had warned him before I did. Twinkle reverted the edit successfully, and I thought that I was the original reverted and hence, gave him the 4im only warning. BeanoJosh 04:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I have a question for you, if you don't mind. In my talkpage, just above our conversation is a conversation I had with 74.142.55.239. He claims to be amerindianarts, which I know is 100% not true. The user claiming to be him does not know how to make a subject in my talkpage and doesn't sign what he wrote; amerindianarts does. amerindianarts also had contributions one day after he wrote his claim on my talkpage. That's just a small bit of evidence I have. Is there a policy against false claims and impersonation? BeanoJosh 10:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't know if there was a policy or even an investigation on claims like that, so I thought I'd brush it by you. Whatever, if he wants to be rude and mis-understanding, then that's fine with me. And sorry for deleting your note. I didn't think you'd care. BeanoJosh 08:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh I wasn't worried or upset about it at all. If he wanted to make claims or be a nonsense user, he can. I wouldn't become upset or make nasty replies to someone who chooses to be an idiot. I just post my warnings, and report the users or IP's that are warned too many times. The only reason I asked you and made any replies is because I didn't know whether making claims like that are things admins look for to block or warn someone with. I am hoping to run for adminship a few months down the line. I am really hoping to see not only your support, but support from others down the line. Thanks and I appreciate it.

WP:UAA edit summary

To answer your question in this edit summary, yes, that was why the bots were not updating the page. Alas, it is impossible to account for every bit of silliness someone will do. Perhaps a note in the "Sysops" section of the page header to indicate that admins can/should notify one of the bot owners if things don't seem to be getting removed could help get this type of thing fixed more quickly. I'll look at that in a moment. Thanks for fixing it. —Krellis (Talk) 19:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Repetitive spam on the Cap d'Agde article

The article Cap d'Agde (page revision history) is receiving repetitive insertions of the same two web site links, via multiple IP addresses (so far 90.37.151.7,90.41.213.73 and 90.48.15.208 , I'm really getting feed up having to remove the spam each day and the warning I placed on the user talk page just resulted in another IP number, so I'm wondering what might be done - could the page be semi protected to allow only logged in / registered users edit access for a short period so the spammer might finally get the message? BTW reading Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Spam it ticks all the classic boxes, I've now removed the 'external links' section to see what happens next. I contacted you as you helped to clean the article up a week or so ago and as I'm relatively new to Wiki I'm not sure the correct procedures now. Many tanks. SouthernElectric 21:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Further to the above, I noticed that this spammer seemingly deleted the <references /> section before adding their spam, no doubt to add weight to the spam in the absence of a couple of websites cited within the article. SouthernElectric 17:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I took a closer look and it is not-so-subtle travel agency spam. Probably the owner of the agency in question. That webcam was boring, too, but that's besides the point. While there are anti-spam bots that will remove links, since the links are only being added to a single article, it is not likely that the anti-spam bots will be set to look for it as they generally only add websites that are mass spammed. I went ahead and semi-protected the page for a week. Perhaps they will give up and go away. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot else you can do besides to leave the article in your watch list and keep reverting. -- Gogo Dodo 21:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for protecting the page, but I've just reverted what I thought had been deleted by the unlogged-in IP user only to realise that you had in fact deleted the section - That information really does need to be included, it's valid encyclopedic information that naturists would be looking for, although it could live without the citations - but then Misplaced Pages will pick the article up as being uncited, the information just isn't going to be anywhere else other than in a commercial place, surely there is a difference between citing a commercial source to back up textual content and just adding a commercial web link? SouthernElectric 23:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I removed the reference to the travel agency because I am concerned that it ends up driving commercial traffic to the site when the agency is not really an official website of the resort nor does the site qualify as a reliable source. I think that particular sentence can exist without the citation. -- Gogo Dodo 23:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Moscow News

I saw you once made a few sensible edits to the Moscow News article. Have a look now, because there is a Ria Novosti IP that is putting up an Orwellian rewrite of the history, trying to eliminate A. Louis from the history of the paper, etc. The edits are done by the same IP all the time, and now from Kiev (probably because the vandal is a foreign employee of Ria currently on a 'visa run'.) I'm not entirely sure how to get the guy's attention to stop reverting to his purged version, since he does not make any comments in the discussion section, nor seems to care to justify his changes. Thank you very much. 99.246.93.74 16:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

My involvement in the article was very minimal, just a reversion of vandalism. I would recommend that you post a note about this on the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard for investigation by editors more familiar with the situation. -- Gogo Dodo 17:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

The Far Side edits

Hi, yes i am a newbie, sorry if i caused grief. I didnt get around to qualifying the hit count, yes it is the number of times the word appears in my database of Far Side comics. Why would that not be acceptable?

Can I add the references to the two Lewis and Clark cartoons back into the Tension Mounts section as they are very much along the same theme. Can i also put the excate book and page numbers back as well for those, that is not infringing any copyrights is it? Whereiswally 08:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Looking to create an article about a possible political candidate

Hey, Jeff Stinson is a student at SMU and is considering running for Governor of MA. I'm trying to create a new wiki article for him. It seems people tried before but it was deleted because they didn't have sources. I have sources and have done some research. Can I proceed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannysims (talk • contribs) 04:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Stinson is notable

He is currently serving as a political advisor to Dan Branch who ran the Bush-Cheney campaign and Stinson was the youngest legislative aide in Massachusetts history. Isn't that notable?--Mannysims 05:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Bah

No evidence of sockpuppetry for me. My user page deleted. Good. I get some respect from you. But I was welcomed with claims of being a sockpuppet by some user. And I'm not happy. --Jake R-12 07:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Since user has no other edits and leaped right into an ongoing discussion with a banned user who has more than a hundred sockpuppets (and who has spent the evening making slurs and threats that have resulted in him having two more socks banned), evidence points to a high probablity of him being a sockpuppet.

This banned user, User:Starwars1955, has been extremely disruptive for quite some time. Check his list of socks and you can see that. Tonight, in overlapping conversations, he's used the identities of Lisa Kirkpatrick and Lock Box, if you'll check his contributions here and here, you can see what we're up against. He's used slurs, threats, and profanity, and that's just tonight.

If this user is not the 100+th sock, I apologize, but I feel that based on the prior MO of this banned user, he was just overlapping socks again, thus the sockpuppet tag. I've tagged probably twenty of his socks before, and I've never been wrong.

I do appreciate your stepping in to handle this, though. You and the other editors have done a great job moving quickly against this banned user to prevent more damage to Misplaced Pages, and I hope my explanation helps. Snowfire51 07:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the quick answer. Unfortunately, SW1955 has used several socks before that made a few test edits (or small incorrect edits to several other articles to give the illusion of productivity, and then used his socks to claim he's a long-time editor that is just now adopting an identity. I'd say more, but WP:BEANS. After months of this, we're all a bit jumpy, and when this happens we all just assume it's happening again. I appreciate your time, though.

I have to agree with Snowfire here, this edit makes me worry, as his second edit is on the page of a confirmed sock and somehow he understands this situation which took me a couple of solid days of work to figure out. I guess Snowfire is right that we all are a little jumpy but edits and edit summaries like this make us all a little justifiably tense when it comes to this editor. Thanks for your work though and hopefully this guy isnt who we think he is.

One farther point that I forgot to mention was that on that second edit he states "I had the biggest feeling it was Starwars1955! The user page made it obvious." How could this guy even know about this situation, let alone "know" that it was him. This is a common tactic by our friend, to try and play the role of being an editor who seems like he is helping, just thought I would let you know.

I understand you were the one who came into this situation, not SW1955. You're an admin who's doing your job, and I appreciate that. I simply passed along a word of warning to other editors who have also had major problems with SW1955, since I may not be on Wiki tomorrow, and the weekends are usually a horrible time for vandalism by SW1955 socks. Thanks again for your help. Snowfire51 08:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I understand, I really do not take him seriously, its just amazing what some people will do over a website. Thanks for your help and hopefully things work out for the good.

Yeah one of the things that makes it all worth while is what this guy says and the lengths he goes to do things, it makes me laugh. His big thing is to tell us to get a life or that we need girlfriends and that we have too much time on our hands, if it werent for WP:TROLL I would love to point out to this guy that we are spending our time actually doing good for this site, while he is spending his time doing stupid things that get reverted right away. Its very paradoxical. Oh and just to warn you, he likes to create user accounts that are close to the people he argues with, such as User:Gomzo_fan2007, User:Skybumny, User:Isolope23. Just thought I would give you fair warning if things turn out bad. Keep up the good work!

Hahahaha ok you win, that actually made me laugh out loud.

Ha! I guess it's an honor to be parodied. Snowfire51 07:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
