Techincal question

Following this one, is there a way the underlying address(es) can be blocked? If you need the CU info to do this, could you oblige (maybe 6 months if you are unwilling to indef an IP)? Thanks. yandman 11:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll have to look and see who else may be affected; if I remember right, it was a fairly large range, so it may not be possible to block him without blocking a bunch of other users. Essjay (Talk) 12:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism by my account

Hi I noticed I got a message saying my account Vandalised some articles.

I will not delete the message. So would you be able to find out what vandalism was done by my account.

I'm 100% sure it was my brother.

If you are able, can you please tell me what he did when he edited. Thanks.

I'm really sorry about him. He's an idiot. I just found out what he did and have warned him. Thank You. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chiloe (talk • contribs) 16:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

Arbcom

Well apparently you finally got landed with the one job you've managed to dodge so far. Congratulations and commiserations in equal measure! I'm sure you will be a fine arbitrator. the wub "?!" 23:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Essjay, do you have to be everything? Share a little! :) Congrats, though this will be quite a workload to add to you. Don't take so many jobs you can't do them all. That said, I am sure you will do an excellent job. Prodego 23:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

congrats! Cbrown1023 talk 00:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations Essjay :) Majorly _{(o rly?)} 00:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Guess what...congratulations! Yeah. –Llama man_contribs 00:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I join the chorus with congratulations and commiserations. May the job be kind on you and you on it. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 01:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes the ArbCom will look a bit more interesting with more purple/violet floating around there. Big one of those → :-) Congrats Essjay! (→Netscott) 01:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Have a great time and do good things for Misplaced Pages as an arbitrator (which I know you will)! And don't let it all burn you out, OK? Heimstern Läufer 01:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

ethics again (sorry, but i don't think this is resolved yet...)

hi essjay - i'm writing to you again, partly because i don't think this issue is resolved, and partly because i see that you're going to become a member of the arbitration committee, so these issues become all the more important.

You claimed academic credentials you didn't have on your user page for ages, and you allowed these qualifications to be reported in the New Yorker. Your justification for this was to distract various stalkers from harming you in real life. I popped up and expressed my concerns, and you re-iterated your position, adding that 'you shall not be moved'.

First let me reassure you that I don't want to move you at all! - You contribute a huge amount, and have become a high-profile high-powered wikipedian. This is a good thing. I think my concerns are important too - because i think it's close to the point where your behaviour is seen to represent wikipedia as a whole. What i'm after is a quiet chat here about what's happened and where mistakes have been made, really to re-assure me that we're singing from the same hymn sheet in terms of ethics and the importance of honesty in the encyclopedia.

Your misinformation was biased heavily in padding up your reputation, and would be considered academic dishonesty in most circles - it would be good for you to recognise this. It was very serious of you to allow the New Yorker to re-print this.

Have you worked for a Fortune company, and been a paralegal for 5 years? - If not, just remove this now, and say that it was all part of the misinformation thing that went a bit wrong.

You're a good guy - lets sort this out. - Purples 23:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, this is bordering on "DICK" and "POINT". We have all closed this discussion, if you want to consider with this, do it in private correspondance. Cbrown1023 talk 23:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

How rude. Purples 23:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think we all agree that you are being very. Cbrown1023 talk 00:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Purples, e-mail him if you're so concerned. Majorly _{(o rly?)} 23:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd prefer to use a wiki talk page - isn't this what they're for? I think transparency is important, and think that wiki talk should really be kept on the wiki if possible. This is important to me. Purples 00:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Last time you did, you complained when other people commented, so a private email would be best. And what are your intentions here? Majorly _{(o rly?)} 00:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Purples, do not disrupt Misplaced Pages to prove a point. ✎ Peter M Dodge (Talk to Me) 00:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration - Participation in pending cases

When the new arbitrators took office at the beginning of the year, the decision was made that they would be considered as recused/non-participating in cases that had been accepted before they came in, but could elect to participate in any such case either by noting that they would be participating or by voting. At that point the Clerks adjusted the list of active arbitrators for that case and the majority accordingly. Would you like to proceed on the same basis for the cases that were pending as of this morning? This is significant because we have some cases nearing closing and have to make sure whom to include in calculating the majority. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 02:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
