Xmas card

Spread the Christmas spirit by adding {{subst:User:Matty.007/template/Christmas}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message. If everyone who got this put it on two talk pages, we would have... lots of Christmas spirit! Have fun finding links in this message!

Restoration of Azul Claro Numazu

Hi,

would it be possible to restore Azul Claro Numazu in order to save some time? The article is about a Japanese soccer club which recently earned promotion to the lowest of nationwide leagues. Thanks in advance, Soccer-holic 11:48, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Wow, that was months ago. I can WP:USERFY it for you if you wish. There wasn't much to it.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:06, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

User page vandalism

Hello. Thanks for reverting vandalism on my user page. Over the past few weeks I have reverted quite a lot of IP-vandalism on articles relating to the Philippines, both date change vandalism, deliberate introduction of other factual errors and more or less elaborate hoaxes, including edits on articles about deceased Filipino/Filipina celebrities that make it look as if the subjects of the articles are still alive and active. And quite a few IPs have been blocked for it. So it's no surprise that some of the IP-editors over there don't like me. Thomas.W 16:09, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Understood. If you want me to protect your userpage, let me know.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:17, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I think that would be a good idea, because I intend to continue doing what I'm doing... Thomas.W 16:23, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I'll semi-protect it. I just need to know what duration you'd like.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

A month or so would IMHO be enough. Thomas.W 16:36, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

 Done. If you need it reapplied after it expires, let me know, although any admin should be willing to do it.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:40, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Thomas.W 16:45, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Dude

So are you a dudette? Darkness Shines (talk) 16:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

If I were, I wouldn't want to be called that, either. You may refer to me as Sire or some other similar appellation commensurate with my status as an abusive administrator.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:44, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) To me a "dude" is a California surfer kid with an IQ below 50, so I wouldn't want to be called that, either. Thomas.W 16:50, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

In my view, it's the speaker who is the bigger problem than the addressee. I can't speak for the world, but the word is used a great deal in the U.S., and it's used by many otherwise bright people, and not just by teenagers and 20somethings. I don't get it, obviously, but there it is.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:29, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I abuse administrators all the time, do I get to be called Sire as well? I would prefer Sir Darkness Shines, it has a nice ring to it. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:00, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Your title is on the civility blacklist. It has a nice ring to it.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:29, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Making 3RR actions more informative

Hey Bbb23. Do you ever wish you could make a block log entry that linked back to the 3RR case? If so you might look at the helpful suggestion of User:Viriditas at User talk:EdJohnston#Linking in edit summaries which began a thread. There is also a follow-up at User talk:Wbm1058#Adding permalinks to block log entries for 3RR. Near the bottom there is a method to experiment with permalinks. I've discussed with User:Wbm1058 whether the 3RR boilerplate should be modified to make it easier to create these permalinks, but suggested he wait till more feedback can be received. Two block entries that use permalinks are at and . In each case, click on the word 'permalink' to be taken to the 3RR case which led to the block. If others agree that adding permalinks to block entries could be useful, then we can make Wbm1058's proposed change to the 3RR boilerplate. The only downside is the {{anchor|XXXX}} that would be added to each section header and would be visible in edit view. If admins who don't use the permalink system are willing to ignore that, then we are OK. The anchor is added automatically when each 3RR report is created, so nobody needs to understand what it is, they just need to tolerate its presence. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:39, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Ed, just to let you know that I'm too tired to follow all of what you said above today (I only became aware of permalinks recently and, naturally, like so many things on Misplaced Pages, it's complicated). I'll try to get to it tomorrow. It sounds like a good idea to me.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:09, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

stupid cookie policy?

Per a comment you left on , could you clarify what you meant by "great difficulty reading because of their stupid cookie policy". I can read the article just fine.--Auric talk 23:45, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I tried it with Firefox and with IE. In both cases, the website told me I had to accept third party cookies. I don't normally do that but I changed my setting to accommodate them and tried again and they said the same damn thing. I believe I could have fixed it by looking at the cookies that had been previously blocked and unblocking them (that's a guess) but I didn't feel like going to all that trouble. So, what I would see is the article in the background with a floating message in the foreground from the newspaper hiding part of the article. If I closed the floating message, it would redirect to the main page of the newspaper instead of the article. However, I could see enough of the article to read most of it, even though the silly floating message would float down as I scrolled down (it was like I was being stalked ). It was irritating but became a bit of a challenge. Anyway, if I recall correctly (I'm not going to go back and look), the only relevant part was the last paragraph of the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:07, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I use Noscript (on Firefox) and am bothered by no such floating boxes. --Auric talk 00:19, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Not sure what or where Noscript is on FF.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

See NoScript.--Auric talk 01:11, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, not sure that what was happening on the newspaper website was the result of a script, and even if it was that it was malicious. It's an interesting extension. How much trouble it is after you install it (setting up which sites you trust, etc.)? Regardless, thanks for the tip.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:19, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

No trouble at all. Sites are blocked by default. There's a little icon in the addon bar. I hover over that and a menu pops up where I can block or allow sites related to the current page. I can also grant temporary permissions for a page or revoke them. The options allow for more complex permissions/forbiddings and tweaking of the popup menu.--Auric talk 12:46, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Wendy CBright

Hi Bbb23:

Why has Wendy CBright been deleted? SHE OWES www.wendycbright.com and www.wendycbright.com.br!!! Thank you. --Elcarvalho 00:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elcarvalho (talk • contribs)

Hello. I was the user who tagged Wendy CBright for deletion. Specifically, it was deleted under sections G12 and A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. It was marked under section G12 because it was copyright infringement of this website (which, as you can see, holds an "All Rights Reserved" notice). Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted text because our text is released under a Creative Commons license. Wendy CBright was tagged under section A7 of the criteria because she is not notable enough to be on Misplaced Pages. Simply having a website does not qualify you to have an article. See the Notability Guidelines for details. If you have any further questions, you can ask me on my talk page. — Carnivorous Bunny (talk) 01:47, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Carnivorous Bunny. I'd like to add that I deleted it under A7, G12, and WP:CSD#G11 (blatantly promotional).--Bbb23 (talk) 02:49, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Topic ban

Hi, Bbb23. You have banned me to edit articles related rapes by G.I. You have may thought Rape during the liberation of France and other related ones been improper articles as Misplaced Pages. However, the articles are approved by Misplaced Pages and still exist and improved, in spite of I have not written the article since your topic ban. Now your topic ban don't make sense, so I apply for unban to you.--Syngmung (talk) 11:50, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I didn't ban you. The community did. I don't have the authority to lift the topic ban. See WP:UNBAN for your two options.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:15, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Holiday wishes!

Bbb23, thanks for your hard work this year, you deserve wonderful holidays! I wish you success and happiness in your endeavours for this coming year, and I hope we'll be able to carry on improving the wonderful project that is Misplaced Pages together! Keep rocking on! :) Salvidrim!, wrapping up another great year of collaboration with y'all!

Good Tidings and all that ...

Nell overspill

I am guessing that the proxy range block will kill the diatribes my own talk page is getting over this? It may amuse you to have a look. One has apparently confirmed that they are another, which gives you ammunition for the range block(s). Please donpt worry about removing the attacks rom my talk page. I rather like them . Fiddle Faddle 20:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm working with another administrator on the range blocks as he is more comfortable with them than I am. It looks like you're getting hit by IPs outside of the range and one IP whose range is not blocked at all.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:40, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I genuinely do not understand why this has turned into a fight and a shambles. Good behaviour is easy enough to achieve. IN this case the bad behaviour appears to be stressful for those exhibiting it (or, more likely, the single person who is IP hopping). As I'm sure you have worked out, I have broad shoulders. Fiddle Faddle 20:53, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, there are two things involved. One is whether the edits to your talk page bother you, but the other is a principle, and that is proxies should not be editing Misplaced Pages. So, even though you have "broad shoulders", my overarching concern is the project. This isn't like an insult where you can rightfully say, "no big deal", and that would be taken into account in determining whether an editor should be sanctioned for a personal attack. This is more akin to allowing blocked editors edit. Hope that makes some sense to you.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Perfectly :) From my perspective it is no big deal. The project is a different matter. The part I don't understand is why the fight over the biography, why it is suddenly so important to this person (probably) or these people. Fiddle Faddle 21:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Nothing surprises me. Editors battle over much smaller matters like tags, accent marks, grammar, and the list goes on.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:24, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Abundance of socks for the holidays

Hi Bbb, the discussion re: a run of sock-driven disruption begun at my page has spilled to C. Fred's. But you're pretty savvy, so you may have sized up the various strands already. Have a great holiday, JNW (talk) 18:11, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, it all started on your talk page, which is where I saw Pink Map. I blocked them indefinitely; they didn't take it well. I've now indeffed Stormfool, which is pretty obviously the same person as Pink Map. I haven't taken any action against the other accounts, which are clearly all related to each other, because except for one they haven't done anything except create accounts. Best.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:23, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		For being a thorough and astute investigator who has continued to show dedicated initiative in fighting persistent sock puppetry and vandalism on the Swaminarayan, BAPS, and Pramukh Swami Maharaj pages over the past several months. Anastomoses (talk) 18:50, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Template:Z147

That's a continuing nightmare, isn't it, Anastomoses? Happy holidays.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:13, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

It is indeed, but it is also a good case study of the importance of rules and enforcement on Misplaced Pages. To continued vigilance! Anastomoses (talk) 19:27, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

The irony of battling over Britten during this season. Enjoy your holiday.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:13, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

+ the irony of counting "votes" if a published title should appear at all (and missing mine, because again I thought that's nothing you decide by voting). I enjoyed the music on top of my talk a lot, and enjoy family + we have a second day tomorrow ;) - I believe that Britten's article and List of works should have Britten's title - as they had in the blurb, list and template on TFA day, without objection from thousands of readers - but these are not the days to fight ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

a new page of mine was deleted

Hi there , I created a page named Macrotechnology it was deleted , how can i tell why  ?

Thanks Skcazy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skcazy (talk • contribs) 19:49, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

OK - I didn't know that taking credit is not allowed. Let's just delete that sentence and leave the rest ... the new concept is incredibly important it really is the birth of a new science a little like macroeconomics.. Can you undelete the page and I shall make the corrections and resubmit? --Skcazy (talk) 14:51, 25 December 2013 (UTC)skcazy.

It has nothing to do with "taking credit". It is a recently made-up term and there was no indication it had any significance. If it is the "birth of a new science", then you ought to have lots of reliable sources recognizing it.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:06, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)You may want to read this guidance on neologisms and this essay on "up-and-coming" new concepts. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:17, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, it's gratifying when policy and (your) essay elaborate on what is just plain common sense.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:23, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Elizarova images

Italic text I own images and an editor is singlemindedly removing them resulting in your edit war notice. All appropriate ownership nd explanation has been supplied. And further investigation avenues offered. I placed the images up for open use and wish that respected. To have one person simply decide I don't own my content and systematically try to remove it from wiki and attributed pages is destructive. I hope you can appreciate why I maintain my content images should remain. And indeed continue to revert undue edits to remove by one single person. Please police and follow the case on the Katia Elizarova page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carpefemme (talk • contribs) 18:04, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Whom have you provided with proof of ownership? In the meantime, edit warring is edit warring, and even if you're right, it's no justification for battling in the article and can lead to a block.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:07, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Fairyspit sockpuppet and Carpefemme

Hey, I was not trying to be in an edit war and I apologize for that. I tried to end it by hiding the images until Common reviewers had a chance to review the images. However, I do know that you are aware of the users Fairyspit and Carpefemme and i already have a sockpuppet investigation against Fairyspit using 2 other accounts and i'm wondering if carpefemme isn't another account they use. That user continuously uploads images of Katia Elizarova claiming the images as their own when the images can clearly be found on other pages outside of wikipedia, including Elizarova's facebook. They have tried to upload other images of her to only be deleted by other users and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this. Please let me know. Thank you Lady Lotus • talk 18:10, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Carpefemme, who's now at six reverts in less than 24h, has been reported at WP:AEW. Thomas.W 18:41, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm aware of the SPI but, even though I blocked Carpefemme the last time, I feel I've become a little more embroiled in the content issues at the Elizarova article and would normally not take any action against her for that reason. Thomas, thanks for pitching in.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:36, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

S. Robson Walton

Merry Christmas! Shouldn't you discuss before removing anything? --Aparnaji_Talk 00:11, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Your edit summary "remove undue history of his wealth, remove siblings wealth (tangential and not in this article))". Are you sure? Which criterion WP:GA?? Refer WP:GACN. The lead says "reviewers make their decisions based on whether an article meets the criteria or not, rather than personal preferences". Further - "template American date, reword lead to be more encyclopedic". Again which criteria? Also - "See also: remove per WP:ALSO (links are already in body)" Which criteria? Help me! I recommend you take a closer look at WP:GACN. To cite a precedent in support of my editing, refer this GA. Look Personal section. Refer date formats. In fact I'm fine with any date format.

Don't take me wrong. I'd be glad if you ce often. I'd be really delighted if we can collaborate. It's just frustrating to see your work gone. Let me prepare first draft. I'll put up for GAN. If an experienced reviewer asks me to make these changes, I'll go ahead and do it.

Would you be willing to revert your changes? --Aparnaji_Talk 02:09, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Aparnaji, I think you're very confused as to how Misplaced Pages works. You registered your account on December 16. You have a grand total of 154 article edits since then. As shown by your comment above and User:Aparnaji/GAR, you appear to be obsessed with WP:GA as if somehow that trumps every other guideline or policy at Misplaced Pages, despite the fact that you have never brought an article to GA status or reviewed another person's submission of an article for GA status. WP:GA is irrelevant to the editing of the Walton article. More to the point, actually, is WP:BRD, which says that when someone reverts your changes, you should take the issues to the article talk page rather than attempt to restore what was reverted.

More specifically, with respect to the See also section I removed, WP:ALSO states, "As a general rule, the 'See also' section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes."

The removal of the wealth history was simply because it is unnecessary, undue, and way too much information about how much money Walton has had in different years. You've made two edits since my revert. The second one just added a source; that's fine. The first, however, restored incoherent material: "At the start of his career, Sam was a clerk making $75 a month at J. C. Penney 1940 who later cofounded Wal-Mart with his brother James Walton which started from a single store in Rogers, Arkansas 1962, went public 1970 and is now world's largest retailer with US $470 billion in sales (2013) and 2.2 million employees in 11,000 stores globally." What is the 1940 after Penney mean? Similarly, what does the 1962 after Arkansas mean? I tried to smooth out that sentence, and yet you put your version back. After I finish this post, I'm going to restore my changes. If you dispute anything else, please take it to the article's talk page rather than mine. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

You made one allegation - I reverted your edits. You're wrong. See here. I didn't restore anything.

You're right about the content. The reason is WP:IINFO. Not "You registered your account on December 16. You have a grand total of 154 article edits since then" or "you have never brought an article to GA status or reviewed another person's submission of an article for GA status". That's prejudice. That's like saying I'm a pauper and you're a billionaire. Being an administrator is good but power corrupts. Remember!

"What is the 1940 after Penney mean? Similarly, what does the 1962 after Arkansas mean?". Refer sources here. That shows you're just imposing your POV in mainspace and not referring sources.

LOL. Well, there is no "dispute" just a discussion. You've said so much good about me. How can I "dispute" you? But you're far too kind.

OK Mr.Veteran with net worth a billion edits and with account dating back to Stone Age. Lets not discuss it any further. If I'm wrong, forgive me. If you're wrong, forgive yourself too. ---Aparnaji_Talk 06:28, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

WP:SPI - Patrick61804

Hi Bbb23, with respect to this sockpuppet investigation I opened, if you think I jumped the gun, I can appreciate that and I'll yield on pursuing it until there's better evidence, so if you think the report should be closed, please close it. In retrospect, I probably should have checked the various accounts a little deeper for more striking evidence across numerous articles before filing, but vandalism was ramping up in anticipation of Christmas, it seemed, and I think I may have been a little overzealous. It does, however, seem very odd that a few users were consistently adding airdates well in the future. Anyhow, I must learn patience. Regards, and I hope wherever you are is warm. :D Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:55, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Cryx88 and a possible sockpuppet

Hi Bbb23. Re your recent block and warning, I have reverted an identical edit after the expiry of the block by an anonymous possible sockpuppet and posted a warning on the IP editor's talk page. HelenOnline 11:15, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

There is another possible sockpuppet. Both IP addresses are from Hungary. The article affected has been locked for a month. HelenOnline 09:25, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Helen, I agree with you that the two IPs are the same individual and likely Cryx88. However, could you do me a favor and take a look at the edits done by Cryx88 since their block expired and tell me what you think of them? I'd like to have some more evidence that the IPs and Cryx88 are the same before taking any action against Cryx88. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

User:JeffreyWeisman

Hi. Is it worth considering reinstating talk page access for User:Jeffreyweisman (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)? The user has attempted to start again, as seen at User talk:Trevj#Error with jeffreyweisman. Thanks. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 09:42, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Trevj, the accounts were confirmed by a CU. The individual has made a mockery of Misplaced Pages ever since he was blocked. I have revoked talk page access on every one of the puppet accounts and on the master account because of the blatant lies (he didn't even bother to disguise the style of the unblock requests). I have blocked the latest account, JRWeisman, and blocked talk page access. If he wants to appeal, he's going to have to do so through User:Critic11, the master account, and do it through WP:UTRS. I'll take a look at JRWeisman's edits now and decide if any should be reverted for block evasion. Sorry to be so hard-headed, but any sympathy you may have for the user is misplaced in my view.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:54, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing some perspective to this. I can't remember checking the master account, but your observation makes sense. As for edits made by the latter, I checked the most recent earlier on and it looked genuine. Thanks again. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 00:14, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I am willing to adhere to your instructions, again, but WHENEVER YOU HAVE THE TIME, could you please send me a link to your instructions, or the instructions themselves? I am not trying to be bothersome and respect that you are busy. I just simply don't get how to resubmit, as you instructed.

Kindest regards,

Are you CelebrityNews101? Better for many reasons to edit only while logged in.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:55, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

@Bbb23: Mark Arsten's lock may have solved the issue temporarily for one article, but the long term edit-warring by MilesMoney has not been resolved. I was just wondering if you plan on looking into this further or if you consider the report 'closed'. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 01:55, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Just to be clear, Arsten locked the page initially because I asked him to, and I don't object to extending it. And if you want to see the bleeding edge of edit-war prevention, look no further than the 1RR-for-artices proposal on ANI right now. MilesMoney (talk) 01:58, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

That doesn't excuse edit-warring. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 02:00, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, the solution to that is a stiff wind aimed at the Conservative Cloud. Without their edit-warring and stonewalling, we might make some progress around here. MilesMoney (talk) 02:01, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Ah, the Conservative Cloud again. I disagree with MilesMoney on the Rasmussen article, so I guess that makes me part of that Conservative Cloud also. It's this kind of politicized categorization that makes editing Misplaced Pages such a fucking drag sometimes. MilesMoney, do you realize I'm to the left of you (since I have no miles and I don't really believe in money), yet I disagree with you? I don't think I've ever agreed with A Quest for Knowledge on anything, but there's a first time for everything I suppose. Also, Bbb, merry Christmas. Drmies (talk) 04:00, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) AQFK, I consider the report closed. Generally, protection of an article that has been reported to AN3 disposes of the report. Also, in my comment, I made sure Mark was aware of what I did, so he is of course free to do whatever he deems appropriate, as is any other administrator. A couple of asides. First, you don't need to ping me on my own talk page. Second, if you wish to add evidence to the interminable disussion at WP:ANI (have we set a record yet?), feel free.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:05, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

OK, thanks. My question was whether you consider the report closed. You've answered it. Yes, after I posted to your talk page, I realized that pinging you was probably redundant. I didn't really think about it at the time, sorry about that. No, I don't think I can add more evidence. I'm not involved in these disputes so I don't have any diffs handy to present. It's just my general impression as I have numerous dispute resolution noticeboards on my watchlist and when I see the same name over and over again, it seems to me that there's a serious problem. In any case, thanks for your reply. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
