Reargun SPI

Hi. You made no comment on the SPI who is once again editing one of Reargun's favorite articles. The other link between the IP and Reargun is the interest in Israeli subjects (the IP's only other edits). Before the SPI I tried to persuade Reargun into acknowledging his sock, after the SPI I blocked the sock and left Reargun unblocked explicitly offering him good faith. Is there any way at all to deal with the IP? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Just because I refused to say whether an IP was related to a user does not mean that you are forbidden to take action if you think it is necessary. J.delanoy_adds 18:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I am still finding my way around SPI issues. Dougweller (talk) 18:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Help with Blocking

I was wandering if you could help me... I have reported two people to EricOrbit but I don't think he's been on. User::24.208.254.246 is Rude and is taking ownership of pages reverting my edits because they don't like them and adding things without a source, can you please block him or semi-protect the page because he's an IP?

Also User:Itsbydesign is rude and makes changes to only one page "Nothing But Love World Tour" he makes unconstructive edits and I was wandering if you could issue a permanent block because he rarely edits. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Jayy008 (talk) 22:29, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Obama Question

Quick question, I noticed you've worked on the Obama Probation page. When an editor violates the probation, where's the best place to report it? I posted about JB50000 (talk · contribs) on the "Requests for enforcement" page more than a week ago , and it doesn't look like that report was ever seen. The editor's been better about using the talk page since then, but tonight again made the same edit three times within 90 minutes on the Obama page. If it continues, should I take it to ANI? Thanks in advance for the help. Dayewalker (talk) 05:07, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, ANI would probably be best. I don't think too many people watch the probation page. (I know I don't. I only watch Obama's page in case there is simple vandalism). J.delanoy_adds 05:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Man, that was a fast reply. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 05:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Filter necessary?

Hey J.delanoy. Glad to see you've done so much good work that you've really gotten the vandals angry. Based on the recent attacks, I've gone ahead and WP:BOLDly created a filter for you, filter 293. Sorry for not contacting you sooner, but I considered this more of an urgent matter so I took the "shoot first, ask questions later" approach. If you don't want it enabled (though I see no reason to allow it), feel free to let me know and I'll go ahead and turn it off (or of course, you can do that yourself). You can also go ahead and take a look at it and see if you think it covers everything (I'm not sure how well you know the edit filter system, feel free to ask me questions on my talk page or by emailing me). If you think I missed something, feel free to shoot me an email with some sample names I can test against; I was only able to construct the filter based on what I knew of the situation. Keep up the great work! --Shirik ♥♥ 06:03, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much! J.delanoy_adds 03:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Tfoxworth reincarnations

He threatens to revert my every edit indefinitely. He cannot be stopped by range blocks, and admin MuZemike found that he had to resort to article protection, because Tfoxworth generates new IPs and re-vandalizes as soon as one is blocked. Now that his copy-cat IP, User:Factsstraight, has been banned he's reverting me as 212.78.230.242. Please help. FactStraight (talk) 13:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

CheckUser

(On spanish), como puedo ser ckeckuser wexeb 17:39, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Si usted est pidiéndome a usar checkuser en Misplaced Pages español, no puedo. No tengo permiso checkuser allí. Lo siento... J.delanoy_adds 04:03, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hablar español?--Coldplay Expért 04:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Este usuario puede contribuir con un nivel intermedio de español. J.delanoy_adds 04:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

También. Pero siempre puedes usar una de esas cosas traductor.--Coldplay Expért 04:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I can read Spanish pretty well, and I am okay at interpreting verbal Spanish if the speaker is willing to talk rather slowly. But generating words to write or speak takes me quite a while. J.delanoy_adds 04:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Same here. I can read a bit but not much and Im not that good with verbs, ar, er, ir, ect. And I can understand enough in a conversation to get the basics but not much more than that. I'm probably at level 1 :P--Coldplay Expért 04:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
