New Magic Kirin/Reapor sockpuppet

New user account User:Reapor2 appears to be a sockpuppet; checkuser unnecessary (see Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Decato). JRSP 00:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Self-block request

Hi Luna, thank you in advance.

As per my request in the closed IRC channel #wikimedia-admin, I hereby request a 24 hour block to cool down from the WP:VPP#Summary of F.A.C section above uproar.

--Connel MacKenzie - wikt 03:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

i just signed up for wikipedia today because i wanted to edit an article about the crime in el salvador which contained incorrect and out-dated information. i then recieved something saying i cannot edit it and now i'm blocked from editing anything. block me all you want but you need to be more careful on the things that are being put into these articles, make sure they are actual facts and not a bunch of false statements being written by 12 year olds and racists. I will not have my country insulted on wikipedia!!!

You recently reverted this edit by User:Jj0909jj. This user has been doing practically nothing on Wikipedia except for making edits like that ([2], [3], [4], [5]) and adding lots of really bizzare stuff ([6]). Tens of edits by them have been reverted. Paul Cyr has already provided a final warning on their talk page; it might be time for a block... -/- Warren 06:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

After further review I decided to send it off to AIV, and now they're blocked. Onwards. :) -/- Warren 06:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hate To Sound Bossy...

I hate to sound bossy, but did you get my E-mail? (Sorry, I really don't mean to sound bossy!) Acalamari 21:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I can wait, but the E-mail's subject requires that I don't post anything to the noticeboard. It concerns a "favorite" user of ours, and a more important situation. Sadly, I have to keep the topic off the talk pages for the moment. Acalamari 21:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for unblocking me.

thanks for your unblock help

You left notes on my talk page indicating that you helped negotiate a partial unblock of my IP address. Thanks!

There are still two things I am confused about, and I would be grateful if you can help clear things up for me:

1. how can I see a query that shows that I am blocked? I tried a lot of different ways, but never saw my IP address. Neither this autoblock query [7] nor Special:Ipblocklist seemed to include me.
2. how can I find out why I was blocked? I saw the text "CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address is being used abusively" but I can't imagine that anyone at this IP would have done anything like that. As the responsible party behind that IP, I'd like to know if I'm wrong!

Thanks greatly,

Population genetics of the british isles

Theres nothing wrong with this article, please if you can find some sources that oppose common veiws add them to the article, if you cant then stop whinging.

I cant understand why you would want to delete this article. please, you seem to be a celtic enthusiast so if you can find reliable sources supporting your celtic enthusiasm please add them , else dont add them. this article is about the genetics of the british isles anyway, you linguistic source is of total irrelevance and nless you can cite a reliable source tieing together genetic evidence with celtic invasion claims then there is no reason to add any of your celtic claims to the article as they would be purely your own opinion.

You can add as many genetic sources as you want, but you can only add historical/linguistic sources if they are tied into a source that includes genetic information. )

You cannot delete all the genetic data about irish people just becuase you think that some subclade of r1b found in la tene region is similar to a subclade found in ireland. That should be startlingly obvious to someone as intelligent as you, hence I therefore deem you as biased and with a certain political agenda.

Er, why did you remove my article? Sure it needs a bit of expanding and cleaning up- but it was never going to be perfect right from the start.

80.47.239.175 VANDAL

Dear Luna, who is this 80.47.239.175? He (or she) messed around with one of my newly created pages 'House of Bread Monastery'. If you hadn't checked, it might have stayed vandalized (although it is on my watchlist). Shouldn't we be tougher with somebody like that? I mean he messed up a bunch of pages today. Just a thought. Keep up the great work too!  ;-) --RobNS 01:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Problem brewing at St. Petersburg paradox

We seem to have a problem brewing at the article on the St. Petersburg paradox. See the article and especially see Talk:St. Petersburg paradox#“one cannot buy that which is not sold”. iNic, having been frustrated in his attempt to interpret a point and then to dismiss the point, has now deleted content which has been justified on the talk page, insisting that, to be acceptable, it must simultaneously

• be brief
• explictly express everything that was said in in the lengthy discussion on the talk page

I have repeatedly noted to him that it is not acceptable to render an article wrong in order to make it more accessible, and have now placed a warning on his user talk page. —SlamDiego 22:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Third Opinion

Hi Luna. I appreciate your Third Op on Brassai but I think you may have mistinerpreted some facts. I gather this only because you concluded that saying Brassai is Hungarian is less reliable than saying he's Jewish. Everyone single on of Brassai's English biographies say pretty directly that Brassai is Hungarian, born and bred, and further, nearly every link that can be found online says the same. Out of those biographies, all mention his mother as Armenian and his father as Hungarian. No published books in English state he or his parents were Jewish. In fact, Halász Gyula: A századik év küszöbén. Bukarest, 1967, Brassai's autobiography in Hungarian, written after the war, says that Brassai and Brassai' parents were not Jewish. This is backed up by his memoirs, Letters to my Parents (written in the 1920s, translated into English) in which you can find letters to his father talking extensively about not being able to come home for Christmas, and spending Christmas at someone else's home. Though it would be original research to derive from those statements that Brassai was himself Christian, his statements about Jews, such as "we found a room for 50 Czech crowns at an old Jewish lady's house (I wish we hadn't!)" makes it clear that he's writing to his parents about Jewish people in a way as to suggest them a separate people. This wouldn't make sense if Brassai or either one of his parents were Jewish. The only places that I could find anywhere online that make the statement that Brassai is Jewish is here http://www.newstatesman.com/200602270034 and http://yiddishbookcenter.org/pdf/pt/41/pt41_JewishEye.pdf..

Neither of these authors are experts on Brassai and certainly not more than Brassai is an expert on himself, and so per WP:RS "Expertise of the originator about the subject—An academic expert in one subject is more reliable when writing about that subject than when writing about another. For example, a biologist is more reliable when writing about biology than when writing about nuclear physics" this would lessen the reliability of their reports. Though my emailing of the first author is bordering on original research it goes on to prove that there appears to be no documentations of Brassai's Jewish heritage and that the source is based on hearsay. There is strong reason to conclude WP:RS#bias "Bias of the originator about the subject—If an author has some reason to be biased, or admits to being biased, this should be taken into account when reporting his or her opinion." After all, both men are reporting on emigrant Hungarian Jewish photographers, and so including Brassai, an emigrant Hungarian photographer, in the bunch would help strengthen the point. To conclude that Brassai was trying to hide his Jewish ancestry (in the 1920s and 1960s, at that) would be bordering on original research and questioning the validity of reporting something the person themselves' would wish to remain unreported.

There is no way to dismiss the later sources but to equivalently dismiss Brassai's own autobiography as being false about his ethnic background is even more ridiculous, and thats whats currently happening on Brassai and List of Hungarian Jews. 141.213.210.88 23:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Have sent an email re an article- i do hope its not a nuisance SatuSuro 13:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

confused

hi there,

I have never edited a page on here in my life and only go on wikipedia to browse stuff but when I clicked on a red link once it said something about my ip address being blocked because of abuse or whatever. So I clicked on the page that tells you all the rules that were violated and it had a whole bunch of stuff saying that I made innapropriate edits to a whole bunch of pages. This doesn't make sense because 1) i have never edited anything on here; 2) there were a whole bunch of edits made one after another on pages that I have never even browsed. Any insight on why this is? I would never do the things it says that I have done on here
