I'd reccomend a loinger protection peroid if you look at the article it has a history of sockpuppetry and selkf promotionalism. the other stuff is new but it needs protected for a while longer then a day by my mind. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 03:13, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

I'd already set it to one year, let's see what happens then. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

O crap i saw 2015 lol thanks. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 14:15, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Spoofing

A brand new user who just managed to stumble into one of my topic areas is spoofing my user page, again. Could you take a look?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 12:37, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

What's the new user's username? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Oh I hadn't even realized you were a check user. I did make up a case because of similar actions by someone else but I don't know if it's related beyond the tactics to copy me.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 12:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Given you don't know it's a sock the 3RR vio on Dominion (manga) and Dominion: Tank Police is pushing it. Given that and since I'm clerking the GamerGate case it's probably best if you ask someone else to handle it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:52, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

The creation was similar and the dominion stuff is trying to revert a cut paste move because he wouldn't let it stand without his changes. He has just sent my user page to MFD after I tagged his user page for deletion. I only messaged you because I saw you on my watch list by chance. Unless it is proven that the sockpuppetry exists, this has nothing to do with the GamerGate case, so why would the case be a factor?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 12:54, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Because I'd need to decide whether your belief that is was a sock justifies the 3RR vio and removal of MfD template. Then whether it's a sock or not and how much that affects the previous sentence. Both of those two together mean that it wouldn't be difficult to suggest that I couldn't be as impartial in the case (we, clerks, generally try to avoid having to decide whether to block parties for behaviour not on case pages).

Emailed you. Dougweller (talk) 17:54, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

I see you're busy, ignore this, I've got MaterialScientist looking at it. Thanks, sorry to bother you. Dougweller (talk) 08:28, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

It's a bit too complex for me at the moment, I've sent you a couple replies anyway. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. They went to Gmail's spam filter, I've retrieved them and copied to DQ. Dougweller (talk) 14:55, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Adding a 6 month PC given the longer term nature of this - meaning?

Good morning,

I was wondering if you could clarify what this means? "Adding a 6 month PC given the longer term nature of this" I'm new to Misplaced Pages. :)

Thank you so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMachadoKim (talk • contribs) 18:07, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi JMachadoKim I need some more information, could you let me know which page I was talking about, and even better where I said that? Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:37, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, it was the Curtis Lepore page. If you could provide me with some clarification on what that means, that would be so appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMachadoKim (talk • contribs) 21:19, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) JMachadoKim WP:PENDing Changes (PC) is a setting that restricts anonymous and new users from editing a page, to reduce vandalism. Those users are allowed to make edits to the page, but those edits are not visible to readers unless approved. This is less restrictive than WP:SEMI or WP:FULL protection where such edits would not be allowed at all. Gaijin42 (talk) 21:25, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Licensing

As an administrator, I was wandering if you could answer the question I have: if Misplaced Pages is a non-commercial website, does that mean that when a licencing says "you may use this for your own, non-commercial use", does that mean that it can be uploaded and used on Misplaced Pages? Andreas11213 (talk) 07:09, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

My understanding is that although Misplaced Pages is non-commercial, material on Misplaced Pages needs to be able to used by others for any reason or purpose (including for commercial use). So you can't use material that is licensed for non-commercial use only, except under a claim of fair use. Having said that, the intricacies of licensing isn't my area at all, Moonriddengirl (talk · contribs) might be able to confirm whether that's the case or dissuade me of my incorrect belief. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:48, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

User:Callanecc is exactly right. :) If it's licensed for non-commercial use only, we must treat it as any other copyright reserved content and use it only in accordance with WP:NFC. WP:COMPLIC talks a little bit about this. This was a decision made by the community years ago as part of its dedication to free culture, so that as few restrictions as possible would be made on how others use our material. --Moonriddengirl 14:08, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Kafkasmurat appears to be violating AE ban

Kafkasmurat is under an AE for WP:AA2. Part of his ban states: "if any uninvolved administrator believes Kafkasmurat makes a personal attacks they may block Kafkasmurat pursuant to the standardized enforcement provision." In the past 24 hours, the user has been making several personal attacks towards various users:

• You can express your hatred in related articles but Turkey is irrelevant.
• When the user of whom the personal attacks were addressed to removed it under (Personal attack removed), Kafkasmurat edit-warred (which he is also not allowed to do under his topic ban) to have the accusation reinstated ()
• And stop childish swearing.
• You're offensive Étienne Dolet (talk) 22:00, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

User:Dr.K. called me "stupid" and i told him to stop swearing. I'm not attacking anybody. I intended to say hate speech. "You" meant "anyone" there, as User:Dr.K wasn't saying it in the article--Kafkasmurat (talk) 22:03, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I never called this user stupid. He started edit-warring on my talk leaving clueless accusations of COI and other assorted personal attacks after I challenged his attempt at whitewashing the mention of the Armenian Genocide from the article on Turkey. After his onslaught on my talkpage, I told him to leave his stupid accusations out of Misplaced Pages, which is simply a fair representation of what they are. Δρ.Κ.  22:09, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

This is not true. Dr.K. started with laugh off my ideas. He made up a personal attack, that i was intending to say "anybody" as he's not involved in the article, and started threatening me. I couldn't revert him anymore, so i reported him and informed at talk page. He even reverted this too. He started, reverted 9 times and patronized me. Calling me stupid is one another debate. --Kafkasmurat (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

They've been blocked by another admin, when I've got some time I'll have a look in detail and consider whether this rises to the level of a topic ban (as suggested in the AE sanction). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:27, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
