You relisted this since the RFC was open. Now we have two RFCs. If it is OK with you, I think the RM discussion should be closed as no consensus and reopened if needed based on the results there. If I do the close, I'll probably mention the option of converting to a list. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea, and as I'm several time zones ahead of you, I'll do the closing. Fascinating how such seemingly uncontroversial requests can evolve into massive discussions. Favonian (talk) 10:27, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Chembai

Hello, you have closed the move request in Chembai article with decision as 'not moved'. I respect your decision, but you didn't mention the reason on why and how you arrived at that conclusion. I like to know your reasoning for the decision, since I initiated the move request.
Thanking You,
Anish Viswa 04:57, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

The opposing arguments were based on the WP:COMMONNAME, which is a policy that carries considerable weight in naming discussions, even though in many cases it is hard to establish what the most commonly used name is. Your argument, on the other hand, emphasized WP:OFFICIALNAMES and a more general sense of propriety, which on Misplaced Pages are considered less important than common usage.

Close of move request at MCG (disambiguation)

Hi, Favonian. I'm a bit puzzled by your close of the move request at Talk:MCG (disambiguation). While opinion was fairly evenly split, isn't that disagreement actually evidence that there is no primary topic, and that the page should be moved? Powers 13:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Not in my opinion. When !votes are evenly split with regard to changing the status quo, I prefer to close as "no consensus", whether the question is "primary or not" or some other renaming issue. Favonian (talk) 13:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Do you support banned user: Iaaasi?

User:Iadrian yu is romani-an chauvinist Iaaasi's meta/sock -puppet. Why do you support his edits? (you always restored his bad faith edits or chauvinist provocation in Matthias Corvinus article.

Moreover, there is no other English language (real printed!) encyclopedia in the world, which use so-called bynames/nicknames in the title of the articles. "Matthias Corvinus" is not official name it's just a nick name of the Monarch. Please Modify the title of the article to Matthias I of Hungary.

Hello

Hello, is there a possibility of protecting the talk page also ? It is very tempting for User:Stubes99 considering that this move request was his idea and there are various comments from his behalf. Thank you. Adrian (talk) 06:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

We are very reluctant to protect talk pages, especially when a discussion like the proposed move is in progress. Reporting the issue to SPI, like you did here, is a better way to proceed. Favonian (talk) 12:59, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

User:Wahwahpedal

I seconded your suspicions of User:Xyz or die at User talk:MuZemike/Archive 9#Wahwahpedal but it appears there is no interest in pursuing any further sockpuppets or the sockmaster. I have also noticed some curious editing patterns, particularly surrounding the article Beck and several related articles that have recently been deleted.

On July 14, Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/W.I.N. Records was nominated for deletion by the sockpuppet User:Huh direction. The same day, User:Huh direction also nominated Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Tom Grimley (2nd nomination). After no activity, the Grimley article was relisted and received a delete vote from User:Xyz or die. Still having no consensus, it was relisted again and received delete votes from User:duffbeerforme and the sockpuppet User:Zalinda Zenobia.

On July 31, the article Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Poop Alley Tapes was nominated by User:duffbeerforme and received a delete vote from User:Huh direction.

On August 5, the article Poop Alley Studios was proposed for deletion.

On August 8, sockpuppet User:Know Your NME unlinked Poop Alley Studios and WIN Records in the Beck article (see ). I undid one of the changes because Poop Alley Studios was not yet a red link at the time. I initially noticed this edit because I assumed User:Know Your NME was a sockpuppet of User:Kim Cardassian.

On August 12, Poop Alley Studios was deleted. It would be nice to know which user proposed the deletion. I'm not privy to that information.

On August 16, User:Huh direction unlinked Poop Alley Studios (see diff)

Finally, on August 29 User:Xyz or die deleted the entire sentence that once had links to all of the above deleted articles (see diff).

It all seems peculiar to me. Thought it might be of interest to you. Piriczki (talk) 02:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Time to get this show on the road. I've opened Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Wahwahpedal and took the liberty of adding your observations to the case. Favonian (talk) 13:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

TheOrangeOne149

You recently warned TheOrangeOne149 regarding unverified additions to Nectar. An editor at IP 68.48.116.119 made virtually identical edits to that page, as well as one edit to Orange (word). I reversed the edit to Orange (word), and now TheOrangeOne149 has re-added that information. Although the edits to Orange (word) are not vandalism (they just give undue weight to one of the dozens of things called "orange"), TheOrangeOne149 feels like a disruptive editor. Cnilep (talk) 10:53, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Not a particularly constructive editor, that's for sure. If he persists, he'll come into conflict with WP:EW/WP:3RR. Favonian (talk) 20:33, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

To bad his attack on my talk isn't visible anymore. I had a very quick look at it, and noticed that he had signed it with a specific name, which —alas— I have forgotten now. After I had copied the diff of his edit I went back to have a closer look, but I came late. If you still have access to the content of the edit and/or recall the name he used, I'd appreciate (just out of pure curiosity) it if you would email it to me.

Libya-related disruption...

Thanks for nabbing one of the IPs spamming my talkpage. This is the same guy that started harassing me some months ago on my userpage (leading to its semi-protection) after my reversions of his disruption on the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Libya page. He uses dynamic IPs, which makes him hard to pin down. Hopefully he gets bored of this soon.

In addition, there is an IP trolling away at Talk:2011 Libyan civil war in violation of WP:TPG and in spite of being warned not to. A block would be welcomed by the productive editors of the page, if you believe it warranted. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 06:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I have left messages on the talk page of the protecting admin, but he hasn't responded as he is on a prolonged vacation.

Hi Favonian, noticed you were on and was hoping I could get a second opinion about something. This is not actionable, right? – Lionel 11:00, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

The particular section of your talk page is not, IMO, actionable.

Vandalism

Hello Favonian. I just noticed that this user is a vandal, please do something: Mega Mom 2: MLBP????

• http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Wetsoap
• http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/112.201.36.225
• http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/124.106.133.82
• http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/58.69.4.64

Look at his/her contributions. -.- ... I think it's the same person. --Hydao (talk) 05:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Wetsoap has been blocked indefinitely by Materialscientist, and 112.201.36.225 is auto-blocked. I'll keep an eye on 124.106.133.82 for the next day or so, but 58.69.4.64's edits are stale. Favonian (talk) 09:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

That creature just created two more accounts. Check my talk page history: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Hydao&action=history ... Gokutm, Lazybumww. ugh, lol, weirdo. --Hydao (talk) 00:40, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: User tries to impose his own rules and persistently deletes people' contributions

Hi, I m not sure what do you mean by Dispute Resolution here. Those 2 users are just ignoring the Wiki rules and impose their own. They pretend they dont know the difference between primary and secondary sources and claim that the references for the contributions, they dont like personally, all "non-reputable" (primary) sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User1344 (talk • contribs) 13:13, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

The process is described at WP:Dispute resolution. For a while, you and your opponents were engaged in an edit war, reverting each other over the appropriateness of a certain reference. Hopefully, this has stopped, but if it resumes, the page will be protected from editing and/or blocks will be issued. I don't wish to become personally involved in the dispute, but I'll encourage you to study the various policies and guidelines, both regarding sources and general behavior. For instance, using the word "vandalizing" as you did in this edit summary is not acceptable. As described in WP:Vandalism, the word has a very well-defined meaning on Misplaced Pages, and it should not be used lightly. Favonian (talk) 13:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Arora

A courtesy note, since you semi-PP'd Arora. I have decided to take this one on board after tinkering with it some time ago. It is a mess, mostly of puffery/OR/SYNTH etc. I have ripped into it a little over the last few hours but my intention is to build it up once the obvious unencyclopedic/non-compliant stuff is removed. I have added a fair few requests already and will need to give people time to respond, but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end. - Sitush (talk) 00:34, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your effort in bringing that article up to Misplaced Pages standard. Much appreciated! Looking at the edit history, I rather doubt that it will ever be able to survive without protection, but that can be arranged. Favonian (talk) 10:37, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

thank you

For locking down the Statue of Liberty you have been awarded the seldom coveted Thumbs Up Award. Display it with pride, or throw it away, but if you do the latter, please recycle. EInar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
