My first photo!

Hello. The first photo I ever uploaded onto Misplaced Pages was deleted just after. I have permission to use the image from the author who also has a commercial website for photos which is not related to me. If you can, please undelete this the files "Image:Bouskila Kornecki isr.jpg" and "Image:166349 Finn start 01.jpg". Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clare2409 (talk • contribs) 07:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I apologize - and again

I guess I was a bit unsure with how the image backlog worked. I was under the impression that tagging the images that *still* don't have a valid fair-use rational with the I6 tag would result in their quick removal, thus getting them out of everyone's hair. I apologize for any problems my actions may have caused you. DJBullfish (talk) 07:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the revert there. The person in question made the same edit to my talk as they did to yours. I saw the edit to your page in their contribs list, and though I'd do a courtesy revert of what appeared to be vandalism. Sorry to have been a bother. DJBullfish (talk) 06:09, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thsoe 4 images from the January 18th disputed were the last four images left in that day, having managed to fix a few of the fair use rationales for the others left. I was hoping to get that day cleared out of that section, and for some reason I thought putting them in the speedy delete queue was the best idea. I'm sorry.

Toolbar

Thanks for the help re: the thing above. Being a developer of sorts I thought you might be interested in this: I began a project to build a browser toolbar extension for Misplaced Pages. Please have a look at Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Toolbar and let me know what you think. I'd be interested in your thoughts. I'm also wondering if you have any suggestions for drumming up interest in this to get more people involved in development, since I'm fairly new to browser extensions. Thanks!

I don't know anything about Firefox extensions... but wouldn't bookmarklets achieve the same purpose? east.718 at 22:53, January 24, 2008

That's a distinct possibility; I didn't know about those. Equazcion •✗/C • 02:10, 25 Jan 2008 (UTC)

Carlotta Champagne

Why did you deleted Carlotta Champagne's wiki page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Didysik (talk • contribs) 08:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

"Oh that's just Libs"

Thank you for that. I nearly passed an entire piece of toast through my nose when I read that. :D although I don't see where reading, acknowledging and rm'ing a message... which was a "message blunder" in the first place... counts as a transgression minor or major... but anyhoo... Stalkers and trolls annoy the hell out of me. My Viking God stalker disagrees with consensus... disagrees with the fact that I edit by said consensus... and has been persistently trying to stir up anti-anon sentiment wherever he can to complain about me. I can't count how many WP:?s he has violated in his agenda? Sooner or later he will get bored. I hope :D . I'm just glad these sorts of "Doug and Wendys" are only allowed 20 minutes on their recess breaks to issue their complaints. I've reverted more vandalism in the past 2 days then he's done in the last year. Anti-anons puzzle me. I revert just as many "red name" vandalism-only accounts as I do IP vandals... sometimes more in any given day... and yet the anti-anons keep pressing for an account-only Misplaced Pages? If Wiki is still around around in 5 years will this still be an underlying 'evil'... probably... which is unfortunate because it goes completely opposite of what Misplaced Pages was meant for. But I digress. My horn-helmed stalker keeps using the words 'edit war'. I will just assume he doesn't know what an edit war is? Making an edit based on a community consensus... and leaving behind a detailed edit summary to boot??? I am baffled. There is actually a lot of "behind the curtain" talk that my anti-anon stalker is actually a sock, or meat, or meat inside a sock eewwwww! for another Norse "logo-ist" who has already been nabbed with his hands on another account's keyboard. The logo debate over the musician template has actually given birth to a possibility that 2 users are speaking via 4 different throats. Which is putting a black mark on the whole debate process. RCU's are almost as much of a pain in the a** as 3RR reports are. I hope reason (and account honesty) prevails. Sockpuppeteers, vandals, trolls, crufters, POV pushers, linkspammers and soapboxers and anti-anons are all scourges of quality and community on Misplaced Pages. Anyways, Libs thanks for your humour. I don't recall ever crossing paths with you before? So I owe an extra thanks that you recognised my range the most noble IP range in all Wiki :D Have a nice day!!! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 14:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

You took the opposite route I did. I had an account with over 20000 edits... a few scattered FA's and a user page that been vandalised by "my fans" over 100 times. Half my edits were vandalism warnings on IP talk pages. But I always held on to the idea that the IP was just as important as the veteran user with over 20000 edits... like me. And when I saw an ever growing "anti-anon" movement... something I felt was opposite of what Wiki was for... I rejected my account I never wanted to be an admin anyways :D and sped off into the "purity" of anonymous editing. And no regrets. Thanks for the note. Have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 23:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you help an old anon out? I am sitting out at the cottage (hense the non-156 range) and decided to do some good old fashioned editing. THe Mick Taylor article (one of my favourite guitarists) had been lowered into the realms of fansite. I decided to start a healthy "cotton-candy" cleanup and then build the article into something resembling an encyclopedia article. Problem is I've run up against a couple of newbie editors who prefer the fansite crufty version over the encyclopedic attempts. One of them is the fanbot editor who out the into into its "check yesterday" state. The other is not a regular. Both are "red name" editors. I don't know if they are the same person or not. The main one has some serious anti-anon issues(says he would contribute only if I got an account). He also may have some WP:COI issues as he claims to be an advisor for a book related to the topic. Can you help me in some way so that my contructive "do's" don't get undone by the fanclub? Thanks. Libs 142.167.73.151 (talk) 16:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Now there's an IP sock trying to buffer the cruft. Frustrating! Libs 142.167.73.151 (talk) 16:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Aha! Turns out all my adversaries were one person (caught them correcting an IP sig) I've requested some advise from a couple of auld mates as to whether an RCU should be filed. I have run up against a "false consensus" push trying to undo me. And posting very uncivil NPAs to boot. :D. Everyone likes Libs :D. Don't they? 142.167.73.151 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Pink Floyd 68

East718; I think you prematurely deleted the image I uploaded by the name in the title. It is the sister image of Pinkfloyd_50.jpg and thus requires the same tags. How to apply such tags I know not, but perhaps you could help me? I know that this image is valid for use on Misplaced Pages. --Soakologist (talk) 06:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Special DFUI

Well it seems I now have an amazing 1312 image backlog at User:East718/DFUI/Logos that would fry my computer if I tried to load it as a visual gallery. Care to run the search script again and drop in a subpage? Terms to look for would be "source, from, scan, www, http, com, net, org, info, gov, co". MBisanz 07:20, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Works great, thanks. Now only 600 images to play with :( One of these days I'm gonna get someone with a bot to create a sub cat (Non-free radio logos) and move a bunch of those images around. MBisanz 20:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Blocking on user:Hoserjoe

Thank you for assisting with your actions here. Not sure why however but your block appears not to have worked see here for edits apparently made after your block was posted. I have unblocked and then reblocked. Cheers--VS 08:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

• Okay yes my bad perhaps? I certainly see you point - I will return his edit - Your call if you want to change your block back - certainly not trying to "wheel".--VS 08:25, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough - will adjust back your block back though - I was also trying to be fair (and wish to be seen that way). Alt account should be blocked in my understanding otherwise isn't it just a sock?--VS 08:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

• Fixed - thanks again. (Would have asked earlier but you appeared off-line).--VS 08:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Please restore OrigIchatLogo.gif

Hi, you deleted a logo for the older IChat (not iChat) logo. Please restore it. It totally qualifies as fair use, as it is the icon/logo of a piece of sortware and is used to not only identify a piece of software, but to distinguish it from iChat, the Apple product.

To wit.

This is an icon of copyrighted computer software. It is believed that the exhibition of icons to illustrate or identify the computer software in question on the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Misplaced Pages or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement.

Blinadrange

Hi East, you seem to have banned Blinarange from vandalism. To me, it doesn't seem like they engaged in any vandalism and were a good editor, the vandalism notice on their talk is from a bot and seems to be a "false positive". I don't know if there's anything else, but if it's just from the scientology page then it seems an innapropriate block.Ticklemygrits (talk) 09:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough East. They did seem to get stuck in awfully quick.Ticklemygrits (talk) 04:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Your mentorship of User:Whig

Are you still mentoring Whig? I ask because he, among other things, has filed a tendentious RFC that nearly all respondents believe is an example of vexatious litigation. Your input on his talk page, here, and here would be appreciated, as it seems that he is within a hair's breadth of exhausting the patience of the community.

Vanderhye Photo

Hello... I noticed that you deleted the image Image:Vanderhye.jpg citing bad justification, and indicated you had contacted the uploader 48 hours prior. I was the person who uploaded the image, at the request of the elected official pictured, and can attest to not being notified prior to the image's deletion. It is the same photo visible on her campaign website at www.vanderhye.com. She is an elected official and gave me permission to post her picture on the wikipedia article. Could you help me clean up my rationale to make it conform to wikipedia image uploading standards? Thank you! --IsaacSarver 01:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I was reading Criterion 12 under the unacceptable use policy you directed me to. Specifically the section that states "pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. However, for some retired or disbanded groups, or retired individuals whose notability rests in large part on their earlier visual appearance, a new picture may not serve the same purpose as an image taken during their career."

This makes me wonder... what constitutes a new free picture? If I used my own camera to take a photo of her at her office specifically for the article, and then uploaded it to the same location, would that be a free picture? Your assistance in better understanding copyright and public domain issues. --IsaacSarver 23:16, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem... Thank you for being patient through this process. I figured out that was a possibility because a friend uploaded a similar image, a picture taken by him, then released it under license on Creigh Deed's page. I'll do the same, and might try and clean up similar pages for current Virginia politicians in the process. Look forward to seeing your work around the wiki. --IsaacSarver 00:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

My Rfa

I wish to thank you for being supportive of my effort to regain my adminship. Though it was not successful, your support was still very much appreciated. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you!--MONGO 17:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Lil Wayne

Hi East, I know you did a superb job expanding Dedication 2 after surviving AfD. There's a similar situation with Da Drought 3 and The Drought Is Over Pt. 4 at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Da Drought 3 (2nd nomination). This is not at all meant to be a canvassing message, I just think it's worth bringing this to your attention. At the moment, I'm neutral with regards to the tapes. I generally favor keeping if it can expand and if it's official, but with all the mixtapes in Lil Wayne discography, it's hard to tell which ones are official. Spellcast (talk) 12:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

category:critics of Islam at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review

I listed the category:critics of Islam that you deleted in Misplaced Pages:Deletion review. I cannot think of a good reason to delete it, except that it is not clear whom to include and who not, but clearly this is the most appropriate category for people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geert Wilders who became famous mainly because of their criticism of Islam. If you know a better category for them then please let me know. I cannot think of one. Andries (talk) 14:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't help notice you didn't answer my question. --MrStalker  21:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Nah, it's not pointless, it got your attention. Does it matter if it's used in mainspace or not? The large image I don't exactly where it was used but the small one I used for my userbox which I liked very much. Isn't that allowed? Ubisoft as granted permission for use of shots of their software for any purpose, so I don't see the problem. --MrStalker  09:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

About this, I just checked the policy and noticed that it said "recommends," not "requires."

Delete Governor Foster photo

I noticed that you deleted the photo of former Louisiana Governor Mike Foster. The info "claims" that the uploader (me) was notified more than 48 hours before it was deleted. I've not noted any such notice anywhere. Also could you please explain what was wrong with the photo info or justification I put as well as what would be acceptable? Could it also be that maybe you had this photo confused with a totally different photo of the same person that had VERY recently been deleted that was uploaded by another user. I never did get to see what was wrong that other photo. I can only assume that it was rightfully deleted, which was why I uploaded a different photo that I thought was within policies.

I have a question re: improper admin etiquette

This message was left on my static page. I have re-read the conversation in question and do not see where very obvious humour/sarcasm are uncivil. I carried on a very "conversational" conversation with an editor and ended most my posts with "Have a nice day", which is how I end many talk page posts. The other "conversationalist" was very uncivil in most of his replies and actually posted the comment "Calling a counter-vandalism tool "anti-IP biased" is like calling rat poision "anti-rat biased" ". But I can't see where the admin who chided me has issued any sort of similar post in the direction of the other editor? I am not so familiar with this particular admin. Are you aware of any "register-user-only" leanings? It is very "out of the blue", unsettling and very "Anti-Misplaced Pages"... if you catch my drift. I can be nice and rm the "no agf for idiots" note from my header.. most people already know that I don't Could you give me some direction as to what sort of direction I would take? I would politely ask the admin myself what he felt ws uncivil... but he seems to think my "polite" is uncivil so I don't want to stir up anything that would have a negative result.

Image Deletion

Hey there! It has been brought to my attention that you have deleted the image Holycross.jpg. I have offered the new user help on the uploading process. I ask that if/when the user re-uploads the picture, you give him/her and I a grace period to work through the teaching and learning of uploading basics. Thanks in advance! --omtay38 03:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Help uploading images

You deleted the ULTra_PRT_testing.jpg image based on CSD#I3. How should such images be uploaded? The owners permission is generic: You are welcome to use these images which are of the highest resolution available, but we do ask that you use the caption: "Advanced Transport Systems Ltd. www.atsltd.co.uk". The class of users doesn't limit use to commercial, non-commercial, educational, or any other, so Misplaced Pages is in the class of authorized users. It seems that as long as the caption reads as specified, there is no limit to how or where it can be used. I appreciate any help you can provide in making it happen within the WP rules. Thank you. --JJLatWiki (talk) 18:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm trying it again per your suggestion. What are the odds of survival? --JJLatWiki (talk) 22:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Bollywood blog

Why have you deleted images which are OTRS affirmed? You have no idea actually what agreement was made. Do you think users such as Riana or Videmus would have have affirmed it if it was false. Bollywood blog was stated as being part of a major media corporation which distributes images to many bollywood related websites and owns film, TV and media related images. The contracting company was disclosed to myself privately and is was made quite clear wikipedia is free to use the images. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 22:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll trust you by sending you the disclosed licenser of the images. It is a Mumbai media distribution company and it was confirmed by Bollywood blog that the contractor can freely license the images for wikipedia. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 22:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Just some headsup - the "OTRS has seen and approved it" line is humbug. OTRS seeing it and approving is moot and besides the point. As is the minor fact that the license info on the site(CC-2 ie., non-commercial use) and on wikipedia (CC-3, ie., allows commercial use) do not match a full three months after it was promised that it would be rectified. The point is, the blog does NOT own the images at all! The blog has bootlegged stuff from even other amateur blogs, not to mention from professional sources. And I have proved this in the case of several of the images that were deleted 2 months ago - right under Riana's watch or perhaps by Riana herself. Sarvagnya 23:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Read and re-read that page where all the discussion has taken place. For your convenience, here are some diffs to what Yamla, BSF and Coren said about the matter last. If its difficult for you to understand the thread of events on that page, I suggest you start by looking at the history and seeing where each one stood at the end of the long drawn discussion. And while you do that, I request you to re-delete the images and the category pronto. Thanks. Sarvagnya 23:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Wykagyl

Hiya, just a minor thing... We recently rewrote the Wykagyl Golf Club article (the old version had been tagged as a copyright violation). I'd like to setup Wykagyl Country Club as a redirect, but I see that you deleted it a week or so ago. It also appears to be under protection. Since I'm an admin too, I could of course just re-create the redirect, but as I was involved with the rewrite (though I have no other connection to the subject), I'd like to proceed cautiously here. Do you concur that the redirect can be re-established, and if so, could you undelete and/or unprotect Wykagyl Country Club? Thanks, Elonka 22:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.  :) And yes, I was confused about that too, since nothing appeared in the log. All's good now though.  :) --Elonka 23:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi East718, humorous block reason ;) Just wondering why you tagged it as a confirmed TougHHead sock, I think it's a Tile join sock? Regards --Oxymoron 22:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

This edit confirmed what I had assumed some time before, that this humor guy is a sock of the genesis vandal, because of the usernames (5 or 6 random letters). The only difference is that the humor socks are created directly before they start to vandalize instead of weeks before. I'm rather sure this is TJ (who is back nearly every day with another sock), not TougHHead. --Oxymoron 23:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I am also being mentored by , and it is a blessing having her as a mentor. She has asked me to not edit any article at this time, and instead, I have only written in the Talk pages.

re misbehavior of User:HanzoHattori|HanzoHattori

Hi, the Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia case imposes stricter requirements regarding civility and behavior on Balkan related articles. I see that you have previously blocked HanzoHattori for such (mis)behavior. He's becoming quite aggressive and rude on the Bosnian Mujahideen talk page (again). Example: (). I think you blocked him last time around. I'm not sure if this warrants any reprimand or a block, but I would appreciate if you could check up on him as his behavior disrupts discussions.

Talk:Homeopathy#Vaccinations_comment_unsupported_by_sources

Hi, this is not a duplicate. Jossi is an active editor so is bound by the probation the same as anyone. Admins are not exempt. Lawrence § t/e 22:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Question about Homeopathy probation

Hi I've been placed on the notification board by user Whig, and he hasn't given a good reason. I'm not against being on there, as I've no plans on breaking the rules. However, I'm still worried that I've been given a warning just because I've edited the homeopathy talk page and had (civil) discussions with Whig. Would you comment as to whether this is appropriate or not? Any clarification/advice would be useful. See my talk page for details. Thanks --DrEightyEight (talk) 00:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Dove Falconhand and Alustriel Silverhand

These two articles went to AfD with results of Delete

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Dove Falconhand and
• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Alustriel Silverhand

Yet the content was not deleted, it is alive and well at Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms) having been merged there after a trip to user space. So, is it appropriate to simply delete the content there? If that happens, it can always be pulled back from history. Maybe the appropriate action is to delete the edits that merged it there. Please advise. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't really inclined against a merge for the first article -- deleting it from the parent list is an editorial decision which doesn't require admin involvement. Have you asked Mr.Z-man regarding the other article? east.718 at 16:41, February 2, 2008

My concern really is that 'delete' results seem to have been thwarted; yes, I could remove the merged from the sisters page, but that content is supposed to be gone. I don't care a whole lot either way about the content issue, I'm interested in the process. I have not dropped Mr.Z-man a note as I've never had any contact there; I figured I'd start with someone I've already encountered. A bit of background on my concern here is that I've seen a number of AfDs short-circuited by someone redirecting or merging the content during the AfD and then someone (else, or not) closing the AfD as moot. To me, this seems like cheating — if, at some later date, the redirect is undone. I've seen that happen, however not necessarily by the same editors, so there may be no nefarious plan at work.

Maybe I need to think of AfDs a bit differently; i.e. that the discussion is more about the content at whatever named article, and less about the content itself. Is it 'cheating' to move content being considered for deletion due to an issue such as non-notability to some other article? Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Worthington

I couldn't view the previous reasons for deletion before I created the page, and I created it in good faith. I still disagree with the current deletion reasons, as far as I can guess them, since I can't see the deletion discussion. The last time I checked the page it was about even keep versus delete, and if the reason is the "notable for only one thing" phrase then I disagree, because he's been asked to host the new season of Big Brother, among a lot of other things. --AW (talk) 16:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Why did you protect DerHexer's talk page? Only one user was vandalizing it. Blocking him would've solved the problem.

I can't get on IRC at the moment, but if I could, I would be stabbing the lot of you. Null edits and bot edits to protect against deletion? That's simply silly. The 5,000 limit was entirely arbitrary and frankly, needs to be raised. I imagine at some point in the near future it will be raised. Instead of talking to one of the developers / sysadmins and asking for an actual solution to the problem, you all went and ruined the history of the Main Page, the page that is not only the most viewed, it also is one of the oldest pages on the site and contains quite a rich history.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Wu-Tang Clan logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wu-Tang Clan logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Country data Dutch Guiana

Hello, some time ago you protected the page Template:Country data Dutch Guiana. Basically I understand the reason, but there is a mistake on that page I would like to be corrected. So I hope you can do that or inform me where to put this request.

As can be seen on the article Flag of Suriname the flag shown in Image:Flag of Dutch Guyana.svg became the official flag of Suriname (or 'Dutch Guiana') in 1959 (or to be more precise December 8th, 1959). Before that date the Dutch flag (Image:Flag of the Netherlands.svg) was in use. On pages like 1938 FIFA World Cup qualification the wrong flag is shown as result of this mistake in the template. On the page List of countries by population in 1907 a similar problem occurs which might be solved by fixing the same template. If not, I hope you can find out where that problem originates. Best regards, Robotje (talk) 18:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering about the status of probation/mentorship for Whig (talk · contribs). Is this user still under any sort of probation or mentorship agreement with you? I wasn't entirely clear. MastCell  21:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Zoporific

Would you mind unblocking Zoporific. It seems to be another roommate situation. I think we should let them both be unblocked, start a conversation at WP:ANI and try to sort this out. Jehochman 00:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I dunno, these accounts were pretty clearly used in tandem to edit-war, and have checkuser confirmation that they're at the same computer. Such accounts are generally treated as socks, whether they claim to be roommates or not (e.g. Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Starwood#Who.27s_who). I'm not against discussing on WP:AN/I, but I suspect we're going to see an upsurge in "my roommate did it" after the recent JOG situation. MastCell  00:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I think we will need to come up with an addendum to policy. For instance, if your roommate also edits Misplaced Pages, you will be treated as the same user so don't tag team edit war. This may need to be made more clear. Jehochman 00:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

How about "If your roommate also edits Misplaced Pages, don't take turns sitting at the computer, logging in and out, and making the same controversial revert in tandem?" :) MastCell  00:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Done. I couldn't find an autoblock, did one of you already take care of it? east.718 at 02:48, February 15, 2008

Oh, the autoblock tool's been down for months. I just go to Special:Ipblocklist and search for blocks made by me until I find the original block I'm looking for. east.718 at 03:16, February 15, 2008

Zoporific II

Hi East,

The discussion seems to have fragmented to 10 different talk pages, so not sure where to say this, but since you unblocked the account, I'll choose your talk page as the place that's as good as any other. Also, you appear to be the only person involved who's edited recently, so you might actually still be online.

If I thought there was a possibility that this was two different people, I would have handled this much differently. I think people are focusing too much on the Checkuser evidence, and not on the extreme similarity in editing pattern, style, interest, and timing.

I've seen the discussion above about doing something about the "my roommate did it" excuse. I understand that we need to settle the issue of how to handle roommates, partners, and spouses editing from the same computer, or else we might as well skip checkuser all together. But in this particular case, this isn't an issue. I really can't imagine that these are two separate people.

I don't have some vendetta against this person, and in my mind the most important thing was that they not become an admin. If people want their Zoporific account and their Snocrates account both being able to edit, I guess I'll drop it. At the very least, both accounts will be closely watched now. But if anyone questions my judgement in handling this the way I did, I'll ask Jehochman to re-open the SPP report (I was a ltitle surprised it closed so quickly), and I'll spend my time documenting in extreme detail why I think they are the same actual person. If you'd like to settle it in your own mind, spend a little time looking at the content of what each account is editing, the editing style and the pattern of editing times listed in the subpage of the SSP report, not just the Checkuser evidence.

Let me know if there's a more appropriate place to discuss this further; I'll look in the morning to see it the ANI discussion mentioned above has started or not. Or, if no one is questioning how I handled this, like I said I can live with both accounts being active, and I won't need to discuss this further anywhere else. --barneca (talk) 03:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, barneca. In my opinion the sock should remain blocked, but I'm really quite antipathic about all this. Jehochman appeared to have the ball to me, so I unblocked upon his kind request. :-) He's probably watching my talkpage now and will get back to you, but if he doesn't I'm sure a quick poke will do it. I'm not really aware of where else this discussion is going on aside from AN/I, but you should probably post there since it's likely the highest traffic place it could be. east.718 at 03:38, February 15, 2008

Yeah, actually to be honest, this has very little to do with the fact you unblocked the account, and alot to do with the fact that everyone else seems to be offline, and I saw you'd edited 5 minutes ago, and I wanted a little human feedback on this before I went to bed myself. I hope/assume I was clear that I'm not upset you unblocked; I saw Jehochman's request, that's fine. I'll look for a more appropriate place to follow up in the morning (my time). Later. --barneca (talk) 03:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

People who spend a lot of time together may talk and sound alike. For the moment, it really doesn't matter. The two accounts were tag team edit warring on an article where one of them had been blocked twice previously for edit warring. That is enough to warrant action, whether it's one editor or two working together. At this point, I think this situation should be presented at ANI, now that both accounts are unblocked and are able to respond. Let's discuss what happened and decide what follow up steps are needed. (An SSP report isn't a good place for community discussion, which is why I closed it rapidly.) Jehochman 03:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Rather than one being indefed, I imagine that both receiving a modest block for edit warring might be fairer. Perhaps we can let them off for time served and aggravation endured. Jehochman 03:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh hi Jehochman, for some reason I wasn't edit conflicted when I posted right above. Somewhere else is fine, and later is fine, I just wanted to check in before I went to bed. East, I'll get off your talk page now. --barneca (talk) 03:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Your block.js

Could you please edit your javascript so that it wont include itself in Category:Tor_proxies_blocked_on_Wikipedia.

Something like:

var lang = new Array(
	']-only account',
	'] violation',
	']',
	'Abusing ]',
	'{{' + 'blocked proxy}}',
	'{{' + 'tor}}',
	'{{' + 'UsernameBlocked}}',
	'{{' + 'UsernameHardBlocked}}'
);

should do the trick. Q 02:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Image category trackers

Hi, sorry to bug you while you are busy. If you have the time to spare, could you update your disputed images divided by category lists with images in the categories Category:Disputed non-free images as of 12 February 2008, Category:Disputed non-free images as of 13 February 2008, Category:Disputed non-free images as of 14 February 2008 because more than 10,000 images have been tagged. Your category trackers are a great help in working through the image backlog. Bláthnaid 11:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

User talk:UliEkMuDkiPz?

He's asking about his username block. I have to say, this one confuses me, too. - Revolving Bugbear 20:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

"So I herd u liek mudkipz" is a pornographic troll meme from 4chan. east.718 at 20:18, February 15, 2008

I'm almost sorry I asked. *grin* Thanks for clearing that up. - Revolving Bugbear 20:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Communication

Perhaps you should be telling this to Whig, not MastCell. I don't think Whig agrees with you wrt the first three restrictions. Raymond Arritt (talk) 23:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Image cats

Random question, is AWeenieMan using some implementation of your scripts? The naming structure is very similar and it appears he stopped updating his today...right when you started updating yours. The reason I ask is that his method of breaking it down into (Usage 1) images used only on 1 mainspace article and (Usage 2 and 3) used in 2 or more articles, was a really easy way to blitz through a list. If he has handed it back off to you, could you adopt that method? MBisanz 01:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Not worth it then. Obviously he has some special system of scanning (given the auto-updating and what not), so I'll just bug him. Doesn't slow me down that much in any event. MBisanz 01:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I talked to AWM and he's traveling which is why there are less frequent updates. So I'll get the best of both worlds, your list of Symbols and his of logos. thanks. MBisanz 02:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for participating in my RfA! It was closed as successful with 58 supporting, 0 opposing, and 2 neutral. I hope to demonstrate that your trust in me is rightly placed and am always open to critiques and suggestions. Cheers. MBisanz 03:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me!

You deleted a photo seconds after I uploaded it. I didn't even get a chance to edit the inaccurate license information which was your basis for deleting it. Robert K S (talk) 06:03, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale

Um, is there a reason you deleted Fair use rationale? It was used by FURME in several thousand edit summaries to explain what was going on. I see it was a cross-namespace issue, but haven't exceptions been made in the past? MBisanz 08:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Old discussion not finished?

Hi East. Glad to see you back. I know it might be a touchy subject for you, but now you are back would you have time to respond to the unfinished discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Response? Feel free to copy it out of the archive to here, if you want. I appreciate that you might not have seen my reply there, so even if you don't want to reply (and obviously I'd prefer it if you did), I wanted to get something on the record. See also Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Old discussion not finished?. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 11:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
