Hi. I had to talk to a checkuser and you were the 'chosen one' as you are at the top of the ]. I'm not sure about that and not feel safe to open a request. I think that would be correct to report . The account have only one edit ('till now) which is very uncommon. Watching the page, there's seems to have a pattern with ] involved. Concerning that the userpage vandalized is related to an user that is absent for three years, it doesn't look like an usual vandalism. You probably don't have the logs of this 'old account', since the edits were made in 2007, but after seing ], it appeared to be reasonable just report it to you and see what think about that.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

== Hi Alison :) ==

Hi Alison, wanted to leave a note on your talk page for a week or so. When I joined Misplaced Pages a year and a half ago or so, not everybody was too welcoming. Fortunately, there were too many examples to the contrary - of people being nice, than of being not - which motivated me considerably to stay on, happily. You wouldn't remember this incident at all, but you were the administrator who gave me my rollback rights and got me on to enjoying the fascinating experience of Misplaced Pages. Huggle was pure addiction and the feeling of contributing to the betterment of the project, more so. For those rollback rights, and for helping me in-between whenever I came to you, my warmest thanks are reserved for you. I became an administrator on Misplaced Pages on the 16th of this month... and you singularly deserve the credits for the same. Alison, thanks again, and sincere regards always.] ] 17:40, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

==Hi!==
A chara, Ali-oops. Long time no hear. I took a quick glance at your webpage (just the intro) at your talkpage invitation. Didn't want to stay too long lest I was the uninvited guest barging in. Anyway, congratulations -- apparently you have at least one new little one to cherish (based on your wording). Glad to see you're not being beaten down by the State of California's current state. Think Whitman will win?

Anyway, to the point: I am having a mild with another editor over everyone's favourite octogenarian ingenue from the film ''Titanic'', ], who recently passed away in the prime of life (100 years old). Anyway the dispute is over whether or not a COD has to be limited to one line, or if relevant factors revealed posthumously can be included. This other editor has told me to ... no, not that! ... check TOC, so I checked ], which did not resolve anything for me. Well, having worked at two VA hospitals and obsessed about death for many years now, I can assure you that CODs are often not simple at all, having potentially all sorts of complicated details.

I notice that you protected {{tl|db-move}} two years ago.

* From what I recall, all the template names have moved around in the two years since it was prot'd - it's been so long now that I can't recall all the details.

Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again.
Hey :)


It definitely was not malicious on my part, I was as confounded about it as anyone else, plus I curse like a sailor in certain environments so I am not against profanity as a rule. --] (]) 05:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
I've approved your account on the ACC tool, and promoted you to admin, and given you the checkuser bit, which basically gives you the access to see all and do all. Please have a read over the ] so you know what to expect. Any questions, feel free to ask me or someone else.

Back then, you were a minor, and I was alerted to remove certain information from your user page for your own safety. It's usually done very discretely and even ] can't see the edits.

In fact I never asked for a checkuser in this case, which I thought was irrelevant. Could you please explain why you believe thst your checkuser can prove that mark nutley did not use an open proxy.

CheckUser

Hello, I need some assistance. Currently, there seems to be an increasing number of "puppet accounts" (sockpuppets) on the Uzbek Misplaced Pages. To help identify and manage these accounts, I would like to request checkuser status. Abdufattohov Ibrohimjon (talk) 02:29, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:User en-IE

A tag has been placed on Category:User en-IE indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz 06:40, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Weird Censoring Issue from 2011

I know this is from over a decade ago, but I was looking at my contribution history and it made me think of the time when my browser was inexplicably censoring everything on your page and the page of User:Jolly Janner and you ended up having to be in the middle of it. Not sure if you even remember it occurring, but I thought you might be interested in hearing an update all these years later because it was so bizarre.

Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again.

It definitely was not malicious on my part, I was as confounded about it as anyone else, plus I curse like a sailor in certain environments so I am not against profanity as a rule. --Thebirdlover (talk) 05:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Hey there, @Thebirdlover:. Yeah, it's been nearly 15 years since that incident. I can tell you what happened. Back then, I was an Oversighter, and had responsibilities for personally-identifying information and for children's privacy. Back then, you were a minor, and I was alerted to remove certain information from your user page for your own safety. It's usually done very discretely and even administrators can't see the edits. So that's what happened.
    • I know what the oversight issue was about (that was going back to when I started here), I was talking about this situation that you were involved in related to my computer haphazardly removing expletives because I was reminded of it and felt like trying to explain what was going on as best as I possibly could (even though I still don't completely know what happened). --Thebirdlover (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I had no idea what happened there, and still don't. It looks like there was some weird censorware on your computer, as it wasn't retroactively censored on the WP side, from what I can see - Alison 19:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
