Shon Pace
Articles on Shon Pace and his recording Terminator were prodded, deprodded by article creator, Savagepb1 (t c), and send to AfD. Creator removed AfD messages and received a level 4 warning 14:24 by Cyberbot. At 14:26 Amirhasan95 (t c) is created and repeats the behaviour. Is there a need for me to line up at SPI for this? -- Sam 15:03, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Sockmaster hijacked the redirect Jihaad in this diff in order to create a bio on Shon Pace's brother. (It was a rip of Willow Smith btw.) Now a new user, Kayla9009 (talk · contribs · block user), pops up out of nowhere and hijacks Jihaad with a bio on the same brother. -- Sam 00:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Chris Penso Deletion
I appreciate your concern, but I think that there was no reason to delete the page Chris Penso. Most FIFA referees have pages, and adding one for Chris Penso seems reasonable. Please explain why Chris Penso's page is unnecessary and unreasonable. Thanks, Eman52 (talk) 04:11, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- I saw no claim of significance in the article. It seems I'm not the only admin to assess the article that way as after you recreated the article, it was again deleted, this time by Seicer.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:51, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- A referee in general is not notable. But what I'll do is copy/paste the content below for you to use. I would suggest using your sandbox to build it up. My issue was that there was no notability established. Sure, he was a referee for the MLS, but what makes him special? Or outstanding? A player is notable; a referee needs more to go on.
Chris Penso is an American Soccer referee from Ohio.<ref>http://www.referee.com/resources/officiating-rosters/mls-roster/</ref> He has been a ] referee since 2011 and a ] referee since 2013.<ref>http://proreferees.com/roster-chris-penso.php</ref><ref>http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=usa/footballofficials/referees/peoplekind=ref.html</ref>

Dao2k socks
FYI since you blocked several of them: I have collected up the latest crop at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Dao2k. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Question about MRM discretionary sanctions
I noticed on Misplaced Pages:General_sanctions#Community-authorised_sanctions that the MRM has a 1RR on all pages until October 27, 2014. Is that 1RR restriction indeed expired? Or does that page need updating? This info is also on Template:Editnotices/Page/Men's_rights_movement. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 17:15, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- @EvergreenFir: The 1RR restriction expired.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:45, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Permission to remove the edit notice from the MRM page then? If the restriction has expired, it doesn't seem needed. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:42, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Good idea, thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:43, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

violation of 1 rr
Hello, infantil has now continued to violate the 1rr even after you gave him a warning https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israeli_cuisine&diff=646565753&oldid=646453285 --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 00:36, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
ANEW script
Hey Bbb23! I know you're a much-appreciated regular at WP:ANEW, so I thought I'd let you in on a script I wrote to help responding to these reports (and also other noticeboards). Might save you some time. Any feedback you may have is greatly appreciated too. Hope all is well :) — MusikAnimal 00:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- @MusikAnimal: thanks for thinking of me. Adding a script for me requires energy (I'm such a wuss), so it probably won't be today (no sleep), but I'll let you know what I think after I install and use it. Regards.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Historic.us Corporation
Not sure what fails to make this company eligible for a Misplaced Pages Page. Currently Historic.us Corporation has an exhibit at the Villa Antigua Border Heritage Museum, 810 Zaragoza Street, from January 21 – February 24, 2015. “America’s Four Republics: The More or Less United States,” for Washington's Birthday Celebration, which is just one of 16 that we have done in the past four years. List includes Carnegie Institute, Clara Barton House, Fort Pitt Museum, James Madison's Montpelier, James Monroe Foundation's Birthplace, MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel, National Collegiate Conference, NY Hilton Hotel, Smithsonian "The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden”; Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, Waldorf=Astoria, DNC & RNC Conventions, LA, VA, WV, & U.S. Capitol exhibitions, New Orleans Mint and a host of Universities and Colleges. We respectfully request you reinstate the Misplaced Pages page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Stas.klos (talk • contribs) 17:56, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- Who is we? Apparently, you are the president of the corporation. That seems to be an obvious conflict of interest. Misplaced Pages strongly discourages users creating an article about a subject they are affiliated with. And please WP:SIGN your posts.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:47, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
re: Farzana Mitu
Just in case my comments were taken the wrong way, I wanted to make it clear that I didn't mean to imply you did anything bad. I personally consider RS referencing a near automatic A7 disqualifier, but of course no 2 people will ever agree 100% on what is and what is not an A7 case. I certainly agree the article was severely lacking - I probably would have moved it to draft if reviewing speedy deletion requests at the time. As to the offer to move it to draft, I was simply trying to be helpful. --ThaddeusB (talk) 05:52, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- @ThaddeusB: I wasn't offended by your comments at all. I know you were trying to be helpful. I don't usually comment at WP:REFUND, but I thought my opinion of the article was worth noting, if nothing else for the benefit of the article author if they decide to take you up on your offer..--Bbb23 (talk) 05:57, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Your Roberts edit
The comparison of Roberts to Rehnquist is needed for the article. Did you mean to fully delete this material with two sources? LawrencePrincipe (talk) 15:49, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes. First, almost all of it was cited to one of the two sources. Second, it is way too much material for the Roberts article. Third, forgive me, but it's not even particularly well crafted. It's wordy, somewhat redundant, and poorly organized. If you want to take a stab at a very short version, go ahead. Otherwise, I suggest you take your proposed material to the Talk page to see what other editors think.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:14, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Thorcon
Hi! I see that you speedy-deleted Thorcon as G11. As you can see from the blue link, it is again in our midst, and now listed at WP:CP because of copyright problems. Is the content of the current version any better than the previous one? It seems wholly promotional to me ... Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:36, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Justlettersandnumbers: The content of the recreated article is significantly different from the earlier one. It is much longer with more images (probably copyright vios without permission) and far more detailed. It is poorly sourced, using only self-published sources and a couple of puff pieces. I don't think it can be deleted per G12 as it doesn't appear to have wholesale infringement throughout the article. If you believe it should be speedy deleted, I don't think you're going about this the right way. I'd remove the copyright template and tag it as a G11 and/or an A7 (as it was in the earlier iteration). I won't delete it having done so before. Once in a while I'll delete the same article twice, but generally I avoid it. If you believe it doesn't meet notability guidelines but is not eligible for speedy deletion, then take it to AfD.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:04, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Aware IM
Hello Bbb23,
My article on Aware IM has been deleted citing "No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)"
The software has been used by thousands of people in more than 30 countries around the world. When writing the article I thought I had provided multiple references from independent users who use the software and even maintain their own repository of resources to help other users.
Is it possible that you have not seen these references? If you have, could you please explain to me how similar tools with much fewer external references, such as AppFlower, have their articles on Misplaced Pages?
Is there something I am doing wrong or do not understand?
Your advice would be much appreciated.
Sincerely yours, Pen93 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pen93 (talk • contribs) 01:47, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- I did look at the sources, and you used either self-published sources, which obviously aren't a sign of notability, or what I consider puff pieces, which are not reliable sources. That said, I am willing to WP:USERFY it for you if you wish so you can work on it some more and then submit it through WP:AFC to get the feedback of more experienced editors before moving it to main space. Let me know.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:08, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Eva Bay
I'm sorry I have used wrong tag, I just wanted to say that Eva Bay don't exist. I searched the web and I couldn't find any information. That article was started by a user whose only contribution was this article. I think that it should be deleted. Other island mentioned in the article are probably invented. Alexzr88 (talk) 11:32, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- In the future when you tag an article because you believe it is a hoax, use this template:
{{Db-hoax}}. You may be right that the bay doesn't exist, although I think the other islands mentioned do. Nonetheless, I've nominated the article for deletion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Eva Bay.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:04, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
User:Kingchamar
Sorry to bother you again. Further to this thread the user has come off his block and immediately made the same edit yet again. I thought I'd got through to him on his user talk page but I was mistaken. DeCausa (talk) 16:22, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the speedy action. DeCausa (talk) 21:58, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Edits to infoboxes
Hi, Bbb23. I just noticed your block of User:104.34.120.237 and decided to stop by here and add a little information. I'm convinced that editor is also User:104.34.99.185 and User:Swanson14. After seeing similar edits back in January from User:Daffy123, I suspected that might also be the same user, but am unsure about that one. Like you, I've also observed a mixture of productive and unproductive edits from this editor.
I've occasionally undone batches of their edits where they seem to be confused about the appropriate use of two Infobox fields, "Alma mater" and "Education". The problematic edits fall into two categories: (1) edits which add extraneous data such as degrees and fields of study to the "Alma mater" field instead of the more appropriate "Education" field, and (2) edits which change the proper name of an institution (for example, Harvard University) to a sub-school or branch within that institution (for example, Harvard University School of Law) in the "Alma mater" field (where only the main institution name should be used). Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 21:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Xenophrenic: You have no idea how far back this goes for me. Sometime before July 2014 I started blocking these IPs, but I didn't keep a list of them until July 2014. With one exception, all the IPs geolocate to Northridge, California, and they are interested almost exclusively in judge and lawyer articles. This is the first time anyone has raised the possibility of a named account, although, at least with Swanson14, the account was only recently created. I can readily see why you think Swanson is related, but Daffy123 is not as obvious. The account is much older, although it hasn't done that many edits since its creation in 2010. I know you said you're less sure, but perhaps you can give me whatever evidence you have of a relationship? I'm trying to decide whether to open a case at SPI or just handle this on my own. I may block Swanson in the meantime (haven't decided). Thanks very much.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:29, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Gabon macrofossils
Hi Bbb23, All the content of this article has been added by a known IP serial vandal, and EncMstr is usually pretty swift in blocking his IP accounts. After seeing a typical addition to another of his favourite targets today, and then checking this IP's other contributions, I found that he had previously added content to this Gabon macrofossils page under yet another IP address, also located in north-eastern Pennsylvania. The linked article Francevillian biota is the sort of topic that attracts the attention of this IP vandal and he has borrowed author names from it to make his hoax more plausible - it certainly fooled some GF editors into adding categories, etc.
The IP's MO consists of constructing fake taxonomies for biological and palaeological topics (including some paranormal and non-living phenomena!). He has been intermittently active for more than 2 years, and never responds to messages on his talkpage. On occasions he has created new articles consisting of gibberish mixed with text copy-pasted from other articles. Due to these being quickly deleted, he has changed his MO to creating article talk pages, rather than actual articles. The IP addresses he uses are scattered over an area of north-eastern Pennsylvania. Occasionally he uses what may be his own name - Edward Ostroski.
On looking at the situation again however, rather than a speedy deletion, qa better solution is to remove the content back to the earlier version, of being a redirect to Francevillian biota - I'll do that now. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 01:24, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
