Minor thing

Hi Enigmaman, I had not seen the other NPAs otherwise I would have considered a longer block (was a bit rushed and thought an immediate response was good) but just so you know your comment on the block log: (01:31, 4 November 2009 Enigmaman (talk | contribs | block) blocked Mr Unsigned Anon (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 1 week ‎ (Personal attacks or harassment: repeated personal attacks after block. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Cptnono&oldid=323559877#My_friend.2C_you_are_a_fool and more) (unblock | change block)) implies the personal attacks at Cptnono's page were after the NPA block when in fact they were before it. After your second block he did indeed make more personal attacks at you on his talk page so whatever the niceties the outcome of a weeks block looks right. --BozMo talk 21:14, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought the first block should've been longer. He could've been blocked for his actions after the return from the first block, but it would've have been nearly as long if just for that. He attacked two different users with a variety of names in the linked exchange alone. Enigma 22:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

UNBLOCK REQUEST FROM EARLIER TODAY

Hey, it's OK. Don't bother yourselves too much about unblocking that library IP. I was at the library earlier today. Am back home now. Thanks for your help and attention. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 23:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Stadium of Light

The world famous "stadium of light" is a football ground in Portugal. A name Benfica FC have used for their stadiums since 1952.

Sunderland AFC used the same name for their stadium in 1997. Why on earth, when people search for “stadium of light” do they get the Sunderland version?

Sunderland fans have completely taken ownership of the English translation, and have crudely differentiated their page from the actual “stadium of light” as they use the English translation and the original ground use a Portugese translation.

The fact being, the names are the same. And English speaking fans have referred to the portugese ground as “stadium of light” since the 1950s.

It’s reprehensible. Say, someone decided to create a building in Madrid with a Spanish translation of the words “grace” and “land”, and then take ownership of the word in Spain, on the basis that theirs is newer and is the local translation? And say “oh, your version isn’t the same, as yours is in a foreign language. Spanish people should be diverted to this version, even if they are looking for the vastly more famous building”.

The fact that fans are being diverted to the stadium who frankly nicked the name – just by claiming that Portugese people use the portugese translation, is reprehensible.

What about the billion English speakers, who use the English translation. Why divert us to Sunderland!?

Talk page

You should know, judging by how long you've been here, that I have the right to remove any or all messages from my talk page. Removing them from my talk page signifies that I have read them. You're an administrator. You should know this. If you don't, please read here. -- GSK (talk ● evidence) 15:16, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I know this, and I never said you didn't have the right. But removing the messages, especially with rollback, is extremely rude. Enigma 16:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It's extremely rude because, frankly, I could care less for you at this point in time. Sorry. -- GSK (talk ● evidence) 16:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It's "couldn't care less". At least use proper English if you're going to be unnecessarily rude to other editors. Enigma 16:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Both are correct, the former is slang relying on sarcasm. --King Öomie 16:44, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Correct. It's not proper English. Most people say it because they simply don't think about what they're saying, not because they intend to be sarcastic. Enigma 16:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

As for your "last comment" on my talk page, do not make assumptions about me. You don't know me. Now, I would appreciate it if you would leave me alone and refrain from adding more comments to my talk page. Thank you. -- GSK (talk ● evidence) 16:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I didn't make any assumptions. I asked you nicely to stop making improper reports at AIV. It just makes a mess for me to clean up, which I did. I warned both users for you. I also thought you might get along well with another user who reverts messages left for him. Enigma 17:09, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, if you don't want people leaving messages for you, you should consider not leaving messages for them. You've now edited my talk page four times. Enigma 17:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Edit War: The Pirate Bay

Well I was just changing the status of the website to "temporarily offline" because it was offline at that time! A user named JeremyWJ kept on undoing my changes. What have I done wrong? The fact that he kept undoing my changes made me furious to keep on undoing his changes. Moreover, who is JeremyWJ? It's not like he's the keeper of this website. Anyone can change any information on Misplaced Pages as long as it's not vandalism and if you start blocking people for that, I don't have anything left to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orcadas (talk • contribs) 08:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Understand that wikipedia is not a place where we update on the status of something every time it changes for a little bit. With that logic we would have to edit, for example, every article of stores, restaurants, and such each night when they close for 5-6 hours at night. You misunderstand the meaning of "status". It is -not- about where the site is online right here and now, but its overall status. For sites that are still going (despite temporary downtime) they are considered Active/Online. All website articles through Misplaced Pages use this same rule. Again, refer to the talk page of The Pirate Bay, the talk page for the Website article template, and you can even check out WP:NOTNEWS for policy on this. Also this is not the place to discuss this, but I responded since you already started it here. As for who I am, I am just a normal user like you. I'm very active in the Pirate Bay and other file sharing articles. Just understand that although I see why you think it should have been changed when it was offline, you were going against general consensus, along with Misplaced Pages policy by doing so. As for why we -both- were almost blocked was because of WP:3RR. You are only allowed 3 reverts per article per 24 hours by policy. We both got out of hand, but I've been trying very very hard to keep that article from being changed to offline when it does go out. Understand that this site is nearing its final days and when people change it to anything saying offline they think the site is gone for good (with good reason because that is what it would should mean). JeremyWJ (talk) 08:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Not up to me to decide who is "right" and who is "wrong". In the end, you're both wrong for gross violations of the three revert rule and can consider yourselves fortunate that you weren't blocked. Enigma 00:47, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Maximo V. Lorenzo article

Thank you for putting a block on the users vandalizing! However just after you placed the block, it was attacked by the same ip,

The specific ips/name attacking are-

Username: Hucastlaz "76.93.171.168" "74.105.38.24" "98.18.50.1" "98.18.38.11" "98.194.14.79" "24.218.151.129" "173.33.105.34"

I actually know who these people are, and they will get friends to vandalize the site, the main effort is by the 98 ip in georgia. I'm actually not good at this sort of thing so i appreciate your help!

He shouldn't have been reported to AIV, but obviously it's my fault for placing an improper block. I saw the warnings and the edits, but I didn't look carefully enough at the edits, and I didn't notice just about all the warnings were from one person. I wish people would use AIV for what it was intended for. Enigma 03:05, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I appreciate you re-instating my account. I wasn't trying to vandalize. I also think Z's latest edit, removing all reference to MJ's push off on Byron Russell, is foolish. Most people visiting the Byron Russell page, this far after his retirement, will be doing so because of that play, which is one of the most iconic plays in league history. Anyway thanks for re-instating me. -Xapxapxap

Enigmaman, do you believe that we should assert, as a fact, that Jordan pushed off Russell? Maybe I should have tried some sort of dispute resolution process, but I'm pretty confident that Xapxapxap's wording wouldn't pass muster at a GA or FA discussion. (Not to imply that the article has ever been close to that level of quality, regardless of that sentence.)

In any case, I would appreciate it if you could at least put the page on your watchlist. Someone just made this edit to the page, but I don't want to end up blocked. Zagalejo^^^ 05:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

It's a very famous play. There are reliable sources talking about it. If it were up to me, it'd be in the article. If not to say that he actually pushed off, at least to point out that many believe a foul should have been called. Enigma 05:14, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

As for the edit, I don't see a problem with it. You have to understand, Russell is remembered by the casual fan mostly for that play. Enigma 05:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I understand that, and I've never disputed that people believe that Jordan pushed off Russell. We could mention that in the article, if presented in an appropriate fashion. The issue is this: should we state, as an unqualified fact, that Jordan did push off Russell? Even though there was no foul called? The last edit says, "Jordan started to dribble right, then crossed over to his left, pushing off Russell." Zagalejo^^^ 05:24, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and before someone says something, I'm not User Team. People are free to run a checkuser on me to verify that. Zagalejo^^^ 05:26, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't think there will be a checkuser run. :) I think most would agree he pushed off, but I would say it shouldn't be worded that way. Maybe "appeared" to push off, which caused a lot of controversy in the aftermath, or something to that effect. Enigma 06:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Usually admins take care of those if there's consensus to take to afd. If one doesn't, I'll either ask one to do so, or do it myself. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 04:50, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

AIV not the right venue?

I see you very quickly removed my report without suggesting an alternative venue. Where should it go? Astronaut (talk) 17:31, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

WP:RFPP, but I handled it for you, so you don't have to bother. You shouldn't report those to AIV. AIV is for blocking. The IP can't be blocked anyway because it hasn't edited in days. Enigma 17:33, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Something interesting I found today

This account working in conjunction with apparent IP socks, worked to falsify the information on bios of Chespirito (a show) actors and actresses. This led to the information sticking in a number of cases, because the account edited after the IP socks, and regular rollback of course simply rolled it back to the version edited by the socks. My recent contributions will show you where it stuck. Enigma 05:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

SPI streamlining

Hello. The SPI team recently removed several of the more inactive clerks, to make way for people who have expressed interest in becoming active with the process. As some people who were removed have expressed no interest or wish to return to clerking, access to the bot functions have also been revoked. Of course, if you wish to remain a clerk, just readd your name to the list; but we do ask that you remain minimally active with the process. Thanks. PeterSymonds (talk) 01:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Sure. 13 previous blocks, including a prior block for a year. Enigma 19:50, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Typically IP block lengths should ceiling at 1 yr (unless it's an open proxy). Also: what prompted the extension? They hadn't edited since the 1 yr had been put in place. I see you've done this on a bunch of IPs for no apparent reason. –xeno 19:53, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I noticed IPs with a long history of vandalism were getting blocked for 48 or 55 hours, so I've had to review a whole slew of blocks. Enigma 20:03, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

, - It would appear that Rock Soldier makes few to no edits in the same nine-hour span every day (depending on time zone, which he doesn't specify), and Greg D has no such downtime. In my non-expert analysis, something IRL is causing that dead space in RS, like bed (assuming Pacific time based, for sake of argument, on Greg D) or a job, and if those things actually AREN'T an issue and he's able to pull all-nighters consistently to edit as Greg D, it doesn't make sense to me that he never did that on his main account earlier in his account's history. It seems overly sinister to entertain the thought of him setting up plausible deniability for a sock not created until nine months later. I understand there's an editing style overlap, but to me that doesn't account for this.

Actually, I don't think they were inappropriate. They were removing an unsourced BLP violation. Woogee (talk) 02:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Errr, if that's all they were doing, they wouldn't have gotten reverted so many times. Look at the top of that edit. I reverted that, and I would revert it again.

Materialscientist (talk) 03:00, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I reverted by mistake. That I should have reverted my revert - no doubt, but I started to read the article instead and realized that one edit was just a hint - that its all rotten with allegation and wrong refs behind them - reverting one edit there won't help. (Woogee started to cleanup deeper now). Then I went to other editors and they all confessed that their reverts were blind, made at high speed.

Also User talk:Rickens appears to be a sock of CosmicLegg. Thanks. --Scieberking (talk) 06:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to grant the unblock, as on review, the evidence does not appear strong enough. Enigma 17:16, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Will defend my self as required. Scieberking appears to have used this account 115.167.93.138 when editing. Please file an SPI for that one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rickens (talk • contribs) 03:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Haroldsultan

I notice that you gave User:Haroldsultan a warning about vandalism on his talk page. I think he is not a vandal but a good faith editor, who probably should have been given a bit more guidance about how to edit instead of a warning. He was trying to add a new POV to the "Tzniut" article and doing this to a well-watched article is not an easy process, even for users that have made thousands of edits. I've left him a message on his talk page offering to help him with editing, and giving him links to some of the policies. Do you agree with me, and can you think of anything else he might need to know? Thanks. --AFriedman (talk) 00:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

He's been edit-warring over the page, before and after its protection. Enigma 01:01, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

He's a new user and does he even know what edit-warring is, and what to do instead of it? --AFriedman (talk) 02:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Undoing a harmless edit (from a new user's POV) for no reason at all? When I was new, I didn't randomly start reverting people for kicks. I also do not look favorable on what he was doing, considering there's a good possibility he was one or more of the IPs. Enigma 02:37, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Not only do I think he's likely to be the IPs, I think he almost certainly is the IPs. The IPs are all from the same geographic location, and a location I'm not surprised about--as I commented on his Talk page, I believe this User is a particular person I know in real life. It's possible that he didn't remember his password at times, or just didn't feel like logging in to what I'm pretty sure are public computers. I don't understand why he would undo the template, but I could imagine a POV that the template is ugly and his edit wasn't destroying content. Now that you've communicated your view to him and to me, maybe the best thing to do is start discussing things on his Talk page instead of yours, sit back and see how he handles things when he returns? --AFriedman (talk) 02:54, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

One would think someone using Columbia's IPs would be a little bit more educated. That's in reference to Harold. I'm not impressed by his approach, his behaviour, or his words. His response to the chatter on his talk was to resume edit-warring. Including the IPs, he's up to like ten reverts now. Enigma 03:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I've told him he should just show us the references. After all, the rest of the world wants to see them. Ooh, I have an idea, which I'm about to post on Talk:Tzniut!  :) --AFriedman (talk) 05:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Steve Addazio

Hi, I noticed that you protected Urban Meyer until after the bowl game. Do you think you could do the same with Steve Addazio? Many users have been and will be writing that he is the interim coach, which is not true until after the Sugar Bowl. ~Richmond96 t • c 00:10, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Konstantin Lifschitz

Hi Enigmaman, I stumbled upon Konstantin Lifschitz today and noticed that you deleted the associated talk page on October 5, 2009. Based on the notes on the creating editor's talk page, it appears the article was speedily deleted due to copyright violation. The revision history shows that the editor recreated the article six minutes after you deleted the talk page. My concern is that the article still violates copyright. For example, in the first sentence of the biography section, playing by ear and improvising with total absorption for hours on end shows up on more than a half dozen Lifschitz-related sites when entered into Google. In the fifth paragraph, celebrated for his exquisite musical sensibility and nuanced playing is copied/pasted from the cited NPR article. What do you think? Thanks and happy new year, momoricks 04:09, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I deleted it again. Too bad I wasn't paying attention. That stayed up for months. Oh well. Same creator, identical content. Enigma 04:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. By the way, when you look at an article's history, you can click "View logs for this page" to see if it was deleted or protected in the past. Enigma 05:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

And thank you for the tip. Best regards, momoricks 04:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Prot please

Sam Taylor-Wood - lots of speculation about her love life from IPs et al. Lack of sourcing inevitably leads to a WP:BLP issue. Thanks man. 86.3.61.125 (talk) 23:09, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
