[edit] Primavera (software)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Primavera (software) (an article that you have shown some interest in previously), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (end template). Will you have a look? If this company merits an article then please remove the prod, but I believe the article doesn't present as much more than advertising as it is. Kind regards, --Greatwalk 13:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sockpuppetry
Hi Kuru, I thought you should know that User:Hellayeah was created by User:Modderscansuckmyballs, and that they also created User:Mynameistylerdurden. Thought you should know so that you can block the third one I mentioned. I believed these are all socks of User:Wrestlinglover420 who has a vendetta against me for getting him blocked for disruption (for the fifth time, first time I'ver reported him, though). Thanks for all your help. Bmg916SpeakSign 01:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Gee, it's nice when they create sock accounts while they're still logged in. Kuru talk 01:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Block Requested: 12.240.50.241
User has been warned several times. After giving final warning, he vandalized my page here and here D-Hell-pers 23:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Let me know if switches IPs. Kuru talk 23:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please advise.
Kuru,
Thanks for your info on the appropriate ways in which to add content (relating to my recent posts on the Recruiter page). Please clarify for me though, if Koya Consulting is in fact a well-established, legitimate retained executive search firm (http://www.koyaconsulting.com), and if there are many other retained executive search firms listed on those pages, and if many of those firms also have their own company pages in the Wikipedia, how is a new company page created or how can information about a given company be added to a given page?
To be clear, I did not intend to advertise for Koya Consulting, and I knew about the links, I just felt that Koya Consulting was another retained search firm that could be added to Wikipedia just that way that a number of others already are such as,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Zehnder_International
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn/Ferry
After all, if MaidPro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaidPro) is referenced in Wikipedia, why can't a well-established retained search firm such as Koya Consulting be referenced?
Please advise. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluecircle (talk • contribs) 17:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
- Thanks for asking. The guidelines for adding an article on a corporation can be found at WP:CORP. In a nutshell; multiple articles from reliable independent sources (not press releases) must be included and all information must be neutral and cited. The articles you have listed above are very, very poor articles and could certainly be improved (or proposed for deletion). Adding the "list of major players" is simply introducing opinion into an article and creates an unverifiable list which will eventually grow into a simple 'directory'. If you want to create an article on Koya, I'd be delighted to review it and/or clean it up if you'll remind me. Kuru talk 00:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User:68.39.163.15
Please review 68.39.163.15 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log). You were the blocking admin, and he appears to have started vandalizing again as soon as his block expired. He goes around making incorrect data and statistical changes to hockey articles that take a long time for people to verify and revert. Please consider blocking again. Thanks --Mus Musculus 14:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's unbeleivable; the most annoying kind of vandalism. Thanks for the heads up. Kuru talk 22:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Grid computing entry need to allow inclusion of info on others contribution...
Hello,
I have added following statements: --- One such solution is Gridbus Toolkit from the University of Melbourne, Australia.... --- to enhance what is written on Wikipedia page. I am wondering why you deleted it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.250.25.210 (talk • contribs).
- That article is a complete mess of random plugs and promotional material. Adding another section with bullet points lauding a specific vendor is not necessary and simply serves to promote. There is already a link to your site on the page as it is. Kuru talk 12:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trouble Seeing Watchlist
Kuru,
Maybe you have a clue of what is going on. My watchlist is not updating with rv's I have been doing lately. I refresh browser, go to another page and then back to watchlist ... but it still only shows the edit before mine by the previous editor. Any ideas if this is a known glitch? D-Hell-pers 05:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Not sure. There is a "Hide my edits from the watchlist" option in the "my preferences" tab at the top of your page. If that is not it, you may want to drop a message at the technical help desk and see if someone there has seen this. Kuru talk 12:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Just an update, my edits are now showing (hours later) in some "delayed" response. I will still take up your advice later when I get second with technical. Right now, I must take a final. Thanks D-Hell-pers 14:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for reverting
Thanks for reverting his vandalism on my talk page. This user kepts on going and going on multiple articles on Canadian politicians - I've requested an RFPP for many of the articles so he can stop. Thanks again!--JForget 22:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hhhh7, Gjnkr puppets
Hi there, I believe the original account is an IP which "contributed" the same vandal edits as the above two puppets. It may be an open proxy, though, since the IP was blocked earlier. Flyguy649talkcontribs 03:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, I had not seen the IP - I had just assumed Hhhh7 was the first account. Well, at least he was trying to communicate at the start there. He just didn't listen to the responses. Kuru talk 04:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is self vandalism the same as vandalism?
[[1]] This is a new user. On their own user page, they left nonsensical sexual terms. Is this vandalism. I'm writing to you because you just reverted some vandalism that I was in the process of doing. My opinion? I think self expression is ok, even if dumb.VK35 04:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC) No need to respond to me. I'll look to see what you do or don't do.VK35 04:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- I usually don't worry much about what people put on their user or talk pages unless it's a personal attack of some kind - and usually not even then unless it's part of a pattern of unconstructive edits. That's certainly an odd edit and not a promising sign... Kuru talk 04:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Heads up about Zombie stuff
I've explained the shitstorm of the zombie situation at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#An upcoming indef-block. I've pretty much covered everything in my initial posting, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up about it, given your (somewhat peripheral) involvement in the situation. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with your prediction; I'm just not seeing anything rational there that will change with discussion, but we'll see. Hopefully we can keep the editing to the article's talk page until the issue resolves. I think I've reverted 100 "dragons are real" statements from the dragon article over the last year, but I've never seen persistence like this. Interesting. I've watchlisted the article, and of course I've read the books, so I'll try to assist as is needed. Kuru talk 21:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I wasn't vandalizing
You warned me for vandalizing Peanuts. I was trying to fix vandalism, so I reverted the page back one edit, but that edit had vandalism as well. I was just trying to fix the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 140.180.14.252 (talk • contribs).
- Aye. I just saw the fairly huge profane paragraph that you reverted back - I can see now that you were trying to fix another set of bad edits. Looks like it's all cleaned up now. Thanks for the help and apologies for the confusion. Kuru talk 23:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TNA wrestling spamming
It's part of an ongoing yet failing campaign by everyone's favourite spammer User:JB196, see the ANI report for details, just in case you felt like blocking on sight. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 01:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Aye, thanks for the backfill. I had already blocked the lot that had spammed Eagle's page - seems to be quite a few more. At least he's not trying to be subtle. Kuru talk 01:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. You'd think he'd have now worked out that the spamming isn't going to get any site blacklisted, yet he still wastes his time. One Night In Hackney303 01:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- You missed one. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 01:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry - blinked my eyes to go back and tag the socks. Blocked that one, too. Kuru talk 01:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Mayhaps, the little monkey could use a talk-page lock? HalfShadow 02:26, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mister Joker
Hi, I, like you have encounterd this vandal, Mister Joker, from reverted his/her vandalism, and wanted to know if the hoskmask could be using multiple ISPs to evade the block, and if more serious measures than ACBs and talk page protections could or should be taken.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 03:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I guess it doesn't matter at this point. He/she seems to have stoped altogether.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 03:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yup. To be honest, the best method is often to just let them get bored. It takes them more time to go through all of the effort to vandalize then it does to simply revert it and block the account; most of the time they just wander off. If it becomes a chronic problem, then we can get someone with checkuser rights to look at the IP range involved and handle it that way. That's a pretty rare step, from what I've seen. Such is the flip side of 'the encyclopedia anyone can edit'. :) Kuru talk 03:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] About User:That girl over there
I've discussed with Zero about how this username violates WP:U. He has replied: "Username falls under offensive usernames (possibly a sex-related username)." Is this explanation valid? Sr13 (T|C) 04:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Dunno, is it some sort of british or aussie slang? Certainly does not seem to be 'possibly sex-realted'. Kuru talk 04:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
