| Hey dear, I wanted to let you know that Alison requested that I file a RFCU after I found a disturbing pattern, so I did, and no clerks were around to transclude it onto the page, but she was working on the case, so I went ahead and did that. I'm not stepping on any toes, I hope, and I did check with her to check it after I was done, so I did it right, lol. On an unrelated note, there is an entry for Daniel575, which for some reason will not link to the subpage, although I fixed the entry as the submitter did not put the time/date submitted info. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that the entry was submitted into a page that was previously closed, but it is something I'd be curious to know, once you get home if you have a chance to look at it, and see what is wrong. <small>]]]</small> 00:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hi! Good work on clerking :). Just a quick note on this case: apparently you archived it, but you forgot to add it to at ]! Can you check the other cases you archived to see if you did it? That's very helpful when a username seems familiar, so you can look up other CU on him. -- ] <sup>]</sup> 09:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::Don't worry, we all screw up these once in a while. I've archived a case that was run 4 times without any archival, yesterday. | |||
| ::(Re: Archive) To be honest I haven't understood what you meant! Usually I try to move the cases to the completed/declined once the CU replied (if there is no further question). If there is nothing more to be done, I archive then 2-4 days later (depending on the amount of cases that are waiting for archival). The only time I archive immediately is when there are 2 runs against the same user, and that one is completed. That way there is only 1 case showing up in the list (I'm not sure it's a good idea though, but that's the lesser of 2 evils IMO). | |||
| ::Just a note, because I saw that you were sometimes commenting on the cases: Personally I try to avoid that (except the usual "reformatted", "user blocked", "diffs needed" stuff). The idea is to appear as neutral as possible, and let the CU handle the rest. I remember delisting bogus cases once or twice, but only where there is no information. I don't comment on the fact that the CU will run a check or not (] is bogus, but I listed it, for example). But since you're quite knowledgable in the ] area, I think you should comment when you have more information, but not as a clerk to avoid any confusion. -- ] <sup>]</sup> 11:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

Yeah I know your work on SSP, I was commenting on ] in fact. But as I said, I'm cool with comments from knowledgeable people, IMO they shouldn't be "officially" {{tl|clerknote}}ed templated.

| What Angus said is true. EdChampion is mostly just an obnixious pain on the talk page. I doubt even he really expects to ever see his proposed edit appear in the article at this point, he just wont give up. As for "sleuthing", there is no way that EdChampion belongs to an editor who made his first edit to Misplaced Pages last August and has exclusively edited Edmund the Martyr. The account belongs to a user with multiple accounts and given his attitude the last few months, he almost certainly has one or more blocked accounts. There is no reason not to connect the dots if we can. -- ] (]) 03:59, 8 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| As mentioned above, the ] page has had very little (if any) IP vandalism so I don't know why it has been protected. Secisek's retaliatory motives become clear when you read . To address some of his detractions: there is a dispute on the talk page that has yet to be resoved. Consensus doesn't mean majority, particularly given the tiny number of editors. At the time of Secisek's writing the RfC was still on going and certainly hasn't resulted in going against me, rather it complements what I had previously written.

Note that the comments I made were factual and in response to a single purpose, anon advocacy editor's POV assertion that Maharishi deserves "...great deal of respect for what he has done and is still doing 24/7 since 1955 - to bring the peace of the Himalayas to all mankind". MMY's claims and TM's belief (see ]) in a "Maharishi Effect" producing peace and harmony in surrounding areas and attempts to produce a cadre of yogic flyers ("...Proponents of Yogic Flying claim that world peace and many other social and environmental benefits can be generated by having at least seven thousand yogic flyers around the world hopping at the same time...") has not produced increased world peace and harmony or yogic flight as was predicted. Maharishi is not widely recognized as a scientist, a physicist, or as a key leader in the world peace movement outside of his organization either, TM is his claim to fame, just as I stated. It is hardly a personal attack to note that Misplaced Pages offering MMY a great deal of respect for his merely alleged efforts to "bring the peace of the Himalayas to all mankind" represents undue weight for fringe claims and a very minority opinion and that the editing history creates a reasonable conclusion of COI.--] (]) 02:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Apparent sock puppet, suggested action? == | |||
| Rlevse, you closed the report for a suspected sock at . As you know, RFCU returned a finding that the editor was not related to Nrcprm2026, which was always known to be a speculative identification of the puppet master. However, there is blatant and arguably abusive sock puppetry from the account behavior; the alleged sock has not denied being a sock, only being Nrcprm2026. Your comment was that the sock puppetry was "possible." I'd say the evidence shows "probable," indeed, I am unable to find any other explanation for the account behavior (immediate engagement in AfD within minutes of registration, SSP -- voting system issues only --, almost no content edits, very many AfDs and deletion/redirects). Given my so far uncontradicted conclusion that the account in question is a sock, and that the behavior is inappropriate for a sock, how should I proceed to obtain a determination on the issue of ] violation rather than being a sock of a specific banned editor? From examination of other SSP incidents, I'd expected some determination on this for the original report. Should I go to ]? I'm trying not to escalate this beyond necessity, going one step at a time. Thanks. --] (]) 18:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :::I have taken a look at the SSP report and the CU reports pertinent to this case at the request of ]. It seems difficult to me to have a sockpuppet without a puppeteer. The CU makes plain that ] is not the same as ]. So we are left with only suspicious editing patterns and no second account to compare it to. A first edit at AfD is not terribly unusual for a new account. An editor may have a second account so long as he is not disruptive with that account. The user could be an ip editor who decided to register or an established editor who decided to create and edit, for whatever reason, under a new name. He could, perhaps, be an editor who is a sock. We just cannot tell from the available information. It does not appear that Yellow has done anything worthy of serious warning or blocking. Sometimes he is right, sometimes he is wrong, but he does not appear to be disruptive. | |||
| :::It is my judgment that ] begin the dispute resolution process immediately. While he acted in good faith in filing what he thought was a SSP case, it was, at best, unclear and unactionable.

The SSP report was an obvious first step which would have made further process, involving more editors and administrators, moot, and the RFCU was filed at the explicit request of Rlevse; and, if Yellowbeard is paying any attention at all, he already knows all this. There is no emergency here, I'm taking this one step at a time. The next steps involve wider community involvement, and I certainly hope that all the evidence is examined carefully! I'm also certain that if I make mistakes, they will be pointed out to me, as they should be.

| For what it's worth, ''any administrator'' (unless directly involved in the dispute himself or herself) has jurisdiction to enforce arbitration decisions, on his or her own initiative if necessary. There is no direct relation between the enforcement function and the clerking function, although it often happens that the same admins tend to handle both because they are the ones with their eyes on the arbitration pages and who are aware of the decisions as they come down. If an issue arises concerning an enforcement ruling, ] will often be the best venue for gathering additional comments (although often there is usually a shortage of admins putting in time watching that board).

| ==Anoshirawan== | |||
| Sorry but this is very long, can you please see recent edits of ], he is a proven vandal, removing page protection (that admins placed) plus images from ] article over and over. Why are his destructive actions ignored? It was already concluded not to change the word "Afghan" to "Afghanistani" in July 2007 (see ]) but Anoshirawan keeps on changing the name to fake "Afghanistani" as well as removing clean images from the article. Why are there images allowed at ], ], ], ], and many others but he wants to only remove the imiages from Afghan American article. It's probably that administrators are afraid to block anoshirawan or probably they are supporting him to vandalis pages. Anoshirawan already has a long block log , shows that his character is not of a good editor, he should behave, he was also warned of his actions many times but he removed many of those warning from his talk page. | |||
| Next, on ] article, I've placed 4 major sources (including the ] and encyclopedia ]) as reference that Ahmad Shah Durrani is known as the founder or first ] of modern Afghanistan. , , , (also see ]) This is very well known fact in Afghanistan as well as in all parts of the world. Anoshirawan claims that he was not all of that but a ruler of ], which is a province in Iran. This is like someone trying to say that ] was not the first President or founder of the United States but that he was a ruler of Washington or something like that. Anoshirawan is self POV pusher, not a nuetral editor like most of us. The things he claims don't make any sense to anyone that's why everyone is reverting his vandalism so that makes him upset. He also has a bad habit of removing images from the Ahmad Shah Durrani article, If you can also fully protect the Ahmad Shah Durrani article, that will help Anoshirawan go find another hobby instead of coming here vandalising pages. I believe Anoshirawan should be banned from editing, not a single of his edit is constructive, they are all vandalisms.] (]) 02:27, 22 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, regarding ], as I said under "Comments" you have to check the deleted edits to see what the request-filer was talking about.

| == ], and concern from a new user == | |||
| hi, so I read an old wikipedia article on the ] some of the old material was very interesting so I decided to read a little about it. When I came back, as a new user, I wanted to cite some source material that I read and found the material reverted. ] reverted most of the material, and I spent some time reading and looking at what was reverted and I think I understand why. The reverted material was speculative, uncited in areas, and really bordering on psuedoscience. Despite that I feel the content has value, especially since I can now cite where the hypothetical futures content comes from. See Michaelbusch's(]) page. | |||
| So the reason I'm contacting you... well I'm try to do this right, and apologize if I'm handling it incorrectly, please let me know if I am. What I did, was I looked at more of the history revisions, and left a message on ]'s talk page, and while on his user page read some of his other contributions and more about him. | |||
| He's very interested in factual and confirmable information, which I think is great. But I also think the entire wikipedia project is a work in progress.... especially concerning some of the fringe articles like the Kardashev scale. I think it's important that interest in fringe articles and wikipedia be encouraged. Bottom line... it's easy to delete... it's hard to add and contribute content, and it can be extra hard to do it correctly especially concerning articles like the ]. Personally, I rather have something slapped with a 'needs citations' or 'speculative' sticker than be deleted outright. | |||
| When I realized he'd already received a warning from you concerning his interactions with others, I became concerned that I would be blown over as a new user and that my wish to reinstate material would be ignored.... I do not want to be ignored, and I don't want to be blown over... I realize you must be busy, but if I could insert a third perspective into whatever changes, or compromises are going to be made on the ] I figured, I should do it now.--] (]) 13:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
