Throffer

Hey- if you're busy, feel free to ignore, but I know you're interested in philosophical topics- I'm hoping to take throffer to FAC (it's currently under review at GAC) and any critical comments you may have are very welcome. J Milburn (talk) 19:58, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I'll have a look, but I'm a little busy at the moment, so can't promise much. ItsZippy 16:53, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your work closing Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Do_not_feed_the_animals

Thank you very much for your summary as you closed the Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Do_not_feed_the_animals discussion. A number of editors put their opinions into play on this, and although I don't personally agree with the details of the result you've clearly made a good compromise, and a well written one to boot. Keep up the good work. -- Dan Griscom (talk) 16:23, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it. Let me know if you need any help with the follow-up title discussion. ItsZippy 17:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
I second that entire statement by Dtgriscom. -- 202.124.88.35 (talk) 00:15, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
I would like to request, though, that you try to help the discussion stay on-track per the policies WP:TITLE and WP:TITLECHANGES. -- 202.124.89.1 (talk) 04:51, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, 4000+ words later I'm about to give up on the follow-up title discussion. It feels like a number of (mostly anonymous) users are dug in on the idea that the article as currently titled is "one of the best-titled articles on Misplaced Pages", ignoring the strangeness of the complete, imperative sentence as a title, while insisting that WP:WORDISSUBJECT does not apply because the article is (somehow) not specifically about what the title says. Any suggestions? Give up and put my talents elsewhere? Start a dispute resolution process? Thanks... Dan Griscom (talk) 05:04, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, it does seem discussion there is going slowly. Requested moves is a possibility - if that work well, it means you'll get outside opinions from other editors which should hopefully begin to move the discussion forwards. There is always the danger, however, that it just goes the way of the talk page discussion, with lots of opinions from the people who are currently involved and little progress. An alternative is dispute resolution, perhaps at the WP:DRN. This gives the benefit of having experienced volunteers to help sort through the mass of opinion and move the discussion forward, though you're much less likely to get outside opinions, which I think might be useful here. I would probably suggest you try WP:RM first and move to dispute resolution if that fails. I hope that's helpful, let me know how it goes. ItsZippy 08:41, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Final warning timing

Hi. I left you a note at WP:AIV, I think you misread the timestamps(?). Cheers,  Yintan  14:24, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Whoops, you're right. I saw the final warning left by another editor which was after the user's most recent vandalism, but missed your final warning from earlier. I've blocked the user now. ItsZippy 14:34, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
No sweat. Thanks,  Yintan  14:38, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Multiple accounts

Say youngster (I'm 64, so I'd like you teach me a new trick), please educate me. Balti sahib is creating a large number of new userpages. In fact, Balti sahib was created by yet another user. (See: .) (I mentioned this on the ANI.) Seems to me a brand new user must give an email, establish a password, etc. to create a new account. And when I tested the idea of creating a new account for myself, the WP page asked me for a "reason". What could the "good reason" be for Balti sahib and Balti's progenitor for creating all these pages? What does this mean in light of WP:MULTIPLE? Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 05:16, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, Zip, another editor has come to my rescue and provided insight. What I saw as creation of new accounts was actually the creation of new user pages for other editors. So, as my old girlfriend Emily Litella used to say – "Never mind." – S. Rich (talk) 16:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Multiple accounts and edit warring

It seems that a recent block involving User:Superfly94 User:Sticks830 and an IP address should include User:Carly3737 which was the original login as the editor has reverted to their original username. As seen here . 209.121.225.182 (talk) 18:57, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Ah sorry, I missed that. I see Addshore's blocked that account now. ItsZippy

Disambiguation link notification for July 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kantian ethics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Equality (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please unblock Sopher99

Hello, would you mind unblocking Sopher99 (talk · contribs) per his unblock request? It's obvious the edit warring will not repeat itself. I'd have unblocked myself, but you left an arbitration enforcement block. Thanks. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:32, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Oppose unblock The last tiem Sopher was blocked he resumed to his old edit warring ways and i think actions speak louder than words. When you add on to that the misrepresentation of sources, the bad formatting and repeated removal of sourced content, violations of WP:DUE WEIGHT and WP:RS, i think the 48 hour block was extremey lenient. Pass a Method talk 00:44, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm inclined to leave the block in place. The developing consensus thus far at WP:AN seems to be support the block (though I know there's not been a lot of participation). I'll leave a more extended rationale in my decline of the request. As always, I am happy to be overruled by the community. ItsZippy 16:09, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
