== ] ==

I seconded your suspicions of ] at ] but it appears there is no interest in pursuing any further sockpuppets or the sockmaster. I have also noticed some curious editing patterns, particularly surrounding the article ] and several related articles that have recently been deleted.

On July 14, ] was nominated for deletion by the sockpuppet ]. The same day, ] also nominated ]. After no activity, the Grimley article was relisted and received a delete vote from ]. Still having no consensus, it was relisted again and received delete votes from ] and the sockpuppet ].

On July 31, the article ] was nominated by ] and received a delete vote from ].

On August 5, the article was proposed for deletion.

On August 8, sockpuppet ] unlinked Poop Alley Studios and WIN Records in the ] article (see ). I undid one of the changes because Poop Alley Studios was not yet a red link at the time. I initially noticed this edit because I assumed ] was a sockpuppet of ].

On August 12, Poop Alley Studios was deleted. It would be nice to know which user proposed the deletion. I'm not privy to that information.

On August 16, ] unlinked Poop Alley Studios (see )

Finally, on August 29 ] deleted the entire sentence that once had links to all of the above deleted articles (see ).

It all seems peculiar to me. Thought it might be of interest to you. ] (]) 02:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Hello Favonian. I just noticed that this user is a vandal, please do something:
]????

* http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Wetsoap
* http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/112.201.36.225
* http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/124.106.133.82
* http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/58.69.4.64

Look at his/her contributions. -.- ... I think it's the same person. --] (]) 05:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

:Wetsoap has been blocked indefinitely by Materialscientist, and 112.201.36.225 is ]. I'll keep an eye on 124.106.133.82 for the next day or so, but 58.69.4.64's edits are stale. ] (]) 09:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

== Re: User tries to impose his own rules and persistently deletes people' contributions ==

Hi,
I m not sure what do you mean by Dispute Resolution here. Those 2 users are just ignoring the Wiki rules and impose their own. They pretend they dont know the difference between primary and secondary sources and claim that the references for the contributions, they dont like personally, all "non-reputable" (primary) sources. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 13:13, 21 October 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:The process is described at ]. For a while, you and your opponents were engaged in an ], reverting each other over the appropriateness of a certain reference. Hopefully, this has stopped, but if it resumes, the page will be protected from editing and/or blocks will be issued. I don't wish to become personally involved in the dispute, but I'll encourage you to study the various policies and guidelines, both regarding sources and general behavior. For instance, using the word "vandalizing" as you did in {{diff2|456660845|this edit summary}} is not acceptable. As described in ], the word has a very well-defined meaning on Misplaced Pages, and it should not be used lightly. ] (]) 13:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

== Arora ==

A courtesy note, since you semi-PP'd ]. I have decided to take this one on board after tinkering with it some time ago. It is a mess, mostly of puffery/OR/SYNTH etc. I have ripped into it a little over the last few hours but my intention is to build it up once the obvious unencyclopedic/non-compliant stuff is removed. I have added a fair few requests already and will need to give people time to respond, but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end. - ] (]) 00:34, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for your effort in bringing that article up to Misplaced Pages standard. Much appreciated! Looking at the edit history, I rather doubt that it will ever be able to survive without protection, but that can be arranged. ] (]) 10:37, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

:Gee thanks :) I like to think that I struck a blow for Liberty. ] (]) 17:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

==Re:Vandal IP 86.184.74.98==
Hi. I am sorry for having entered the same message at ] re the above vandal IP. By the time I compiled and copies and pasted my complaint I got several edit conflict messages, and I wasn't even sure the message had been posted properly. Not intentional spamming, I assure you. Yours, ] 13:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:No problem, and thanks for reporting the miscreant. ] (]) 13:58, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

== Withdrawing a CfD? ==

If I put a category up for discussion, with the suggestion that it be merged, can I now withdraw that nomination? Specifically, I had suggested that ] be with ]. I now realize this would be a mistake, and intend to suggest that the latter category be deleted. Today, just to be clear, I emptied the latter category (all of the articles in the category were already listed under more specific subcats). All of this is part of attempting to sort out the over-categorization of ]-related articles. Thanks for any assistance or advice you can provide. ---<font face="Georgia">''']'''<sub>'']''</sub></font> 16:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
:Sure, you can withdraw the nomination. As the only !vote so far opposes the merge, the proposal will likely be closed speedily. ] (]) 16:51, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
