Misplaced Pages in the New York Times

Greetings. Quiddity sent me a link to an article in the New York Times regarding Misplaced Pages, as well as some discussion threads from the Wikimedia mailing list regarding the NYT article. I'm the editor mentioned there, and I feel like she is being sincere in her interest. I can send you copies of her message to me, as well as my responses to her. I know it sounds kinda weird to go about discussing WP:OWN because someone claimed to write a passage that was quoted, but in case you didn't see the previous article that started all this, here it is. --McDoobAU93 06:36, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, if you want to email me that, go ahead. Lucky you, you get good coverage, while all I get off-wiki is whiny criticism and trolling :) –MuZemike 23:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Sent to ya via Misplaced Pages e-mail. --McDoobAU93 03:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Sock case Cmmmm

I listed two IPs at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Cmmmm. Those were edits from recently = October 2010. Those edits as compared to the sock, should not be stale, yes? -- Cirt (talk) 12:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I have provided a lot of additional IPs to check against the recent sock. Both for locale info, as well as other technical info. It appears this particular sockmaster has been POV pushing and disrupting portal pages, literally, for years. -- Cirt (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)(edit conflict) Sorry to intrude... What you say is true, Cirt (to an extent, IPs never go stale). However, per the checkuser and privacy polices, linking accounts to IPs is not recommended, which may be why Mike has not done so in this case. Kind regards, Spitfire 13:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not used to this editor at all; I don't what to look for or anything (as far as user agents, IPs, etc. are involved). With everything being stale, CU cannot do terribly much here, at least from my standpoint. –MuZemike 14:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I mean, I would be able to find out whether or not IP ranges are editing the same way or whether or not that one account is in those ranges (however, I would not be able to disclose that), but I cannot possibly link any connection to the sockmaster. –MuZemike 14:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, understood. I will await an admin to come by and review the strong behavioral evidence. No worries, -- Cirt (talk) 14:04, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I got involved in this minor mess and already weighed in at the appropriate locations. I have noticed in SPIs though that accounts go "Stale" rather often. How far back in time can you use Checkuser to link/track accounts. I ask because I occasionally submit SPIs, and this seems like something rather important to know ahead of time.

Response to being blocked

Well now that I'm back, I'll ask next time before I make any edits on the talk pages Robert Moore 18:37, 8 November 2010

I appreciate the honesty there. If you have a question about an edit, make sure to ask someone first or bring it up on the talk page. –MuZemike 21:01, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

So you're Justa Punk, are you?

Oooh, you are in so much trouble... HalfShadow

Yeah, I was so harassing myself via email because I had nothing better to do ... :) –MuZemike 00:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

That'll teach you, huh? Way to stick it to the man! HalfShadow 00:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Of interest...

A vandal, I think he wants you... Sven Manguard _Talk 23:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Removed, talk page protected. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:47, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm working on pooling together all the IPs he's used and then I can probably calculate a few narrow range blocks we could use instead of blocking /16ranges. Access Denied – talk to me 00:57, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Wonder Boy in Monster Land GAN review

Wonder Boy in Monster Land is now in review at Talk:Wonder Boy in Monster Land/GA1. Just letting you know. --Teancum (talk) 13:04, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Edit filter

Why did you disable the Zsfgseg filters? --Access Denied – talk to me 02:41, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

They're useless. Same with the rangeblocks, which was why I unblocked all of them. There is no way to stop this user, and it might be preferable to quit trying. –MuZemike 02:44, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Objection to deletion of a discussion

I'd like to object to the deletion of User:Barts1a/discussion1. I don't believe U1 applies here, it specifically excludes user talk pages. See Misplaced Pages:User_page#Deleting_your_user_talk_pages. That discussion contained "other significant contributors" such as myself, and I do not give my permission for my comments made there to be deleted. Deleting my comments violates the deletion policy, and the copyrights under which they were released. PS. It is Bart's right to unlink that archive from his talk page, or archive the discussion (as he did). What I believe he has no right to is to request that this deletion be blanked by an admin, without getting permission from all other participants. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 04:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I have restored it and taken it to WP:MFD; see Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/User:Barts1a/discussion1. I have no opinion, and it seems there are other reasons for opposing the deletion in which I am not aware. The community, as well as you folks, can discuss it there. –MuZemike 04:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The comments made by all in the discussion are still visible in Archive 1 of my talk page Barts1a (talk) 04:19, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi...

Scruffy...Miss. Me yet?
