Block length

So, the guy is obviously jumping from IP to IP. Could you perhaps lower the block lengths to avoid excessive collateral damage for anyone that inherits the IPs? EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Will do. --ST47Talk·Desk 18:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

...well crap, that was easy. Now I wish I'd asked for something else. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

List of editors by edit count

A few things. First, how did you generate the most recent list? I'm curious. If you used a better method than what is listed on the top of Misplaced Pages talk:List of Wikipedians by number of edits, then please update the instructions to correspond to this better method. Next, please read Misplaced Pages talk:List of Wikipedians by number of edits#Mikkalai name removals. The consensus is that editors should be allowed to "unsubscribe" from the list, or at least replace their names with a placeholder; in the future, we will replace the names of editors on this list with a placeholder before uploading a new list, in order to avoid the (seemingly) inevitable edit war. —Disavian (/_contribs) 22:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I generate the list through a direct database query, something most users cannot do, as it requires toolserver access. I will update the instructions to reflect this. --ST47Talk·Desk 22:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Unicode and bot malfunctions

Since STBotI is persisting in creating image description pages at nonsense titles whenever it encounters a non-ASCII image name, I've modified OrphanBot to notify you whenever it finds one of them. --Carnildo 19:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

In response to...

In response to your message on my talkpage, fair point, however, I only reverted his page twice, what he is doing, is deleting my comments, and when I make a reply, calling them reverts, and threatening me with a block, what is your opinion on this? Meateater 10:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

In fact, you shouldn't have reverted his page at all. His removal of comments means that he has seen them, I suggest you stop harassing him via his talk page by restoring those comments. --ST47Talk·Desk 10:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

um

Why did the bot remove the welcome? See Thanks! Phgao 19:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Please comment on my talk page if possible. Phgao 19:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

will do so. --ST47Talk·Desk 19:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I didnt look at the time, so I missed that. Edit conflicts = weird things! Phgao 20:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

MfD nomination of User:ST47/EditCount

User:ST47/EditCount, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/User:ST47/EditCount and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:ST47/EditCount during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Melsaran (talk) 14:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

User:ST47/EditCount

Please unprotect this page; the protection was clearly out-of-process as you fully protected it while no vandalism had occurred yet, and I want to remove my name from the list. Melsaran (talk) 18:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Standard userfication request

Per WP:PROD, I am entitled to make a reasonable request for the restoration of any material deleted without due process. I now ask you to restore Evil lair, a universally known concept and a basic shtick of several kinds of fiction, into my userspace with full page history so that I may review the reasons behind the proposal and examine the article for salvageable content, per our policies and guidelines for inclusion.

Apologies for sounding like Gandalf in the hands of a bad fanfic writer. I got into watching the Dungeons & Dragons movie. --Kizor 19:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Opting out?

Ahoy. As you know, a small amount of us admins have been opting out from varying WP namespace statistical lists. (For instance, I have removed myself from WP:LA and WP:WBE). Would you be willing to accept requests to opt out of your administrative statistical reports? By no means am I saying "zomg remove me or else!," I'm just wondering if you were open to opt-out requests... --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 07:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

A user you blocked

Hi, there. Could you please see Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Blockage and respond there as soon as you can, the user's personal attack aside (it's irrelevant anyway). Thanks. Cowman109 21:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I hope you don't mind, but I unblocked the user and instead suggested to them that they see WP:NAMECHANGE, as the guidelines at WP:IU are a tad vague and leave exceptions for long user names, and the growing consensus seemed to be that it would be best not upset the user so that he runs away :).

User:Muriness

I've been trying to help him for a while. He wants to include his telecom company. It clearly isn't notable, but he has trouble understanding the rules. I feel that he could potentially be a good editor, if he knew what he was doing. Want to try and help him? ⇒ SWATJester 20:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

?

Thanks for linking me to that, on how many editers talk pages can I leave a similar message?--Moosh88 00:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to set a number, because that's simply inviting WP:WIKILAWYERING. If you can leave a neutral message on one article talk page, do so, but it's a bad idea to try to 'recruit' editors for your cause, as someone's gotten in trouble for that recently. --ST47Talk·Desk 00:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, we could easily apply WP:WIKILAWYERING to the reverts done by User:Ghirlandajo and User:Dbachmann. There actions would fall under the Abiding by the letter of a policy or guideline while violating its spirit. I'm all about neutrality, but lets enforce the rule on all editors.--Moosh88 01:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Could you please talk to User:Dbachmann? For the second time he has reverted many of my recent edits, without any justification. The info I have provided is all sourced, and is from major or well known scholars, I don't understand what he finds wrong with them for him to be acting this way. Please look into this, I really think we need a neutral user to step in and look at the facts.--Moosh88 06:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

see Talk:Mitanni. Moosh88 is simply pushing nationalist fringe theories that have been discussed and debunked many times before. dab (𒁳) 06:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Calm down - those are classified as 'temporary user pages' or something like that, and should be deleted after a month or so. --ST47Talk·Desk 00:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Blocked Tor Exit Node (129.21.60.134)

You blocked a Tor node that I recently started, which is perfectly fine and must be the case for Misplaced Pages to survive. However, I also use this machine for tunneling HTTP traffic at times and would like to be able to edit Misplaced Pages myself. I was under the impression that one could edit via Tor (or, a Tor IP) if they were logged in (Editing_with_Tor), but even though I log in, I am unable to edit. Can you enlighten me? --dinomite 16:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Tor nodes, like any other open proxies, are hard-blocked to prevent vandals from using their own IP to create accounts, then anonymous Tor proxies to avoid an autoblock. If you would like to edit from a computer that hosts a Tor proxy, you should either set the proxy to not allow exits to ports 80 or 443, or not allow any exiting. (The former can be done with your exit policy.) If you take any of these steps, please contact me, or use the {{unblock}} template to contact another administrator, and your IP can be unblocked. --ST47Talk·Desk 18:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Moosh

Hi, ST47. Just curious, why did you delete Moosh88's (or 98, don't remember for sure) message from my talk page? I don't mind, I was just wondering if you know something I don't. Thanks.--TigranTheGreat 22:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

He had spammed the same hugely POV message to 40 editors or so - WP:CANVASS --ST47Talk·Desk 22:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
