My Admin Policy: I trust that my fellow admins' actions are done for the good of Misplaced Pages. So if any of my admin actions are overturned I will not consider such an action to be a "Wheel War", but rather an attempt to improve Misplaced Pages. If I disagree with your action, I will try to discuss it with you or with the admin community, but I absolve you in advance of any presumption of acting improperly. We should all extend the same benefit of the doubt to our fellow admins, until they repeatedly prove that they are unworthy of such a presumption. For every editor, I try to follow WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL and expect the same in return.

Your username sounds familiar but I do not recall us ever working together. -- Cat 14:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait a minute, why did you revert this? What is your problem? -- Cat 15:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

TM

Hey there. You dealt with the tom.mevlie sockpuppetry case, as I understand. He came back recently as DangerTM, and was blocked. Now, in the WikiProject Novels, someone new has shown up with an account less than a day old, and I have a feeling it may just be that guy AGAIN. WilliamMThompson is the fellow I suspect, and is painting himself as a total newbie to Misplaced Pages. He's also put in an appearance on the General Forum for that project, agreeing with DangerTM and kinda calling someone a homophobe. I'm sure you can see it for yourself. It's a little suspicious that some new guy would appear on the Novels project almost immediately after Danger got blocked, agreeing with him, and saying inflammatory things. Howa0082 (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I guess I want to say that I wasn't agreeing with Danger flat out, there were some points that we may have shared similar view points. But he was saying notability was everything, and I hope I am saying that it is not.WilliamMThompson (talk) 22:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

What are the odds that you would show up on this page, were you innocent? If you turn out to not be a sock, I'll apologize. It's just extremely suspicious to me. But at least you haven't called me a foul name yet, so that's worth points. Howa0082 (talk) 00:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Was I innocent? I am innocent, present my friends. What are the odds that I would show up on this page? I followed the breadcrumbs. It is amazing how far out in the woods I was left. I am going to stop using that particular Hansel and Gretle metaphor, because at this point it is far too tempting to mix it up with Alice and the rabbit hole, and I do hate mixing metaphors. We should all get along, we should all be friends, I didn't come online soley to make friends, but it wouldn't be unwelcome. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I love it when opinions collide in the form of healthy debate. But maybe over stepping the mark for a brand new user really is going a tad too far, don't you think?WilliamMThompson (talk) 12:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Percy Harvin

Hey ... I was looking on flickr for a photo of Percy Harvin and I saw this one. Do you have anything zoomed in on him that shows his face? --B (talk) 18:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

sorry no. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Artisol 2345's sockpuppet

Anyways Are you sure, how you found out this was Artisol2345's sockpuppet. Did you check his e-mail address, what about if that account could be his brother or sister, or his father haveyou thought about that? Anony IPs 75 xxxabc keep driving me around bugging everyone about people accusing him about sockpuppet. Most people have roommates, and same computer can be share with more than one person. Like mom and dads can also be contrib on Wiki, and their 3 sons might have their own account while parents has their own account. That way is not a sockpuppet. A sockpuppet is one person with like 4 or 5 or more account. Lets pretend one person has account of Route 5, then Orange-County 5, or 405 guy, or LAX 505. Thats sockpuppet, they are not real users just examples.--Freewayguy (Webmail) 18:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Dawn Wells

I added a section to Dawn Wells that reads as follows:

In 1998, fellow Islander Bob Denver was arrested for having a parcel of marijuana delivered to his home. He originally said that the parcel had come from Dawn Wells, but later refused to name her in court, and testified that "some crazy fan must have sent it".

Wells was arrested on October 18 2007, after a Teton County sheriff's deputy pulled her over after observing her swerve across the fog lines and center lines of State Highway 33 and repeatedly accelerating and slowing down. The officer noted the strong odor of "burning marijuana", and a search of her vehicle produced several partially consumed marijuana cigarettes and several containers of marijuana. Wells was taken into custody after failing a field sobriety test. According to the Associated Press, she was sentenced on February 29 2008 to five days in jail, fined $410.50, and placed on six months' probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.

The section is properly referenced and relevant. Several people including War, FCYTravis, and Cleo123, do not want this included because it is not seen as "positive". This is a POV view.

I request that you ask these people to cease reverting this section which is relevant and factual. It is based on news accounts and court records. Proxy User (talk) 02:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

It should be noted that I posted a notice on the Biography Project's Bulletin Board some time back regarding this user's edits to the Dawn Wells article. Administrator, FCYTravis was kind enough to respond to my posting and has reverted Proxy User's version. Unfortunately, Proxy User just doesn't seem to understand why his revisions violate WP:BLP no matter how many people try to explain it to him. He continues to edit war on the article and has now posted a "warning" on administrator, FCYTravis' page. If you are familiar with this editor, perhaps you can explain things to him in a way that he'll understand. Cleo123 (talk) 03:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I asked for Mediation, bud Admin FCYTravis, who is a party to the disagreement rejected it. This is improper. A party to the issue should not be able to reject the Mediation request. Proxy User (talk) 03:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This needs to follow DR process. I agree someone involved should not be ruling on it. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Bitless bridle

Hi. You mediated on Bitless bridle a month ago, and left off at the point of defining "bridle". That remains a point of contention and is impeding edits on several articles (eg, here). Would you mind returning for more? --Una Smith (talk) 03:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

If those in that area haven't worked it out by now, I suggest taking it to WP:MEDIATION. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Strange Edit War

A group of editors have developed a version of an article that meets all Misplaced Pages policies and standards. However, one editor keeps on reverting it to a version that he wrote months ago and refuses to discuss his changes on the talk page. One group says that the other group are "sockpuppets." The other group says that the first group are "meatpuppets." Why can't someone read both articles a pick one article as a starting point from which to make further improvements? Please help 207.91.86.2 (talk) 15:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea how I got sucked into this article in the first place, but Dane Rauschenberg has to be the target of the most bizarre set of sockpuppetry I have ever seen, most of it aimed at including false and defamatory information regarding the subject. User:207.91.86.2 was part of one of the newer batches of sockpuppets, and his identity as a sockpuppet was confirmed at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Racepacket. After being outed, User:Racepacket created User:Runreston, also confirmed as a sockpuppet, and also blocked permanently. As soone as Runreston was blocked, Racepacket came out with a new set of IP addresses disrupting the article. There are no alternative "groups" here; There is a stable article and a single individual and his sockpuppets who have a monomaniacal obsession with this one individual and this one article, devoting well over 90% of edits to this one person. While I am working on documenting a new sockpuppet request for the latest crew of abusers, can you recommend any means to prevent further abuse, such as protecting the Dane Rauschenberg article from edits by IP addresses and new users?
