Revision as of 03:36, 1 January 2008 by B (talk | contribs) (archiving December)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Because of privacy concerns, I no longer maintain separate archive pages. One of the worst policy decisions Misplaced Pages has made is to allow user and user talk edits to be indexed by search engines. This creates a space that is largely unmonitored for libel and nonsense, but is nonetheless the top g-hit for any relevant search term. For previous comments on my talk page, see or the old archives.
Reverting Template:UK geo article
Hi. You reverted my edit of Template:UK geo article. I must confess that I didn't understand the meaning of "COTM".
So this template is used in one place Misplaced Pages:WikiProject UK geography/cotm to change one article title, and the page in question is in it self transcluded like a template. So the template still seems meaningless to me, but I agree that it is not a candidate for speedy deletion.
Then Category:Geography and place-related templates. What is the problem here? —Leo Laursen ( T | C ) 11:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- I was going through CAT:CSD at the time ... it was not speedyable and I didn't notice that you made another change at the same time. I have reimplemented the category addition. --B (talk) 16:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Jerome709
I happened to lift the autoblock at the same time that you declined to do this. Feel free to re-block the user if you think he is abusing sockpuppet accounts. Sandstein (talk) 20:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say it's a pretty dead certainty they are sockpuppets. See Okinawa Coral (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Also, note that Magnonimous left me a message just above, even though he and I have never come into contact before. On the other hand, I have interacted with Jerome when he complained about my removal of BLP-violating nonsense from an article. I have blocked Jerome709 for the duration of the original block. --B (talk) 20:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- No objections here. Best, Sandstein (talk) 21:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
In case it's helpful, MLGSP says he's MoonLightGlory --Ronz (talk) 21:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting. Based on that, I am less confident that MoonLightGlory is the same person. Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Magnonimous if there is anything you would like to contribute. --B (talk) 21:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- I, Jerome709 am not magnonimous, nor have I ever been. I have been editing wikipedia through a private Canadian proxy as I have had bad luck with hackers in the past. I must say that I have enjoyed magnonimous's antics ever since I saw his edits when I checked the ip, ironically, to confirm that it wasn't in danger of being blocked. I did not expect him to fly off the handle like this though. I would appreciate it if you could unblock my user account, and I'll go back to my real IP. As a new user it will be hard, since I don't know all the rules, but I promise I will try not to bother anyone anymore. P.S. Can anyone suggest a good firewall? --220.231.124.5 (talk) 22:09, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

- FYI to anyone keeping up with this, the 220 IP is an open proxy and is now blocked. --B (talk) 22:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
