User:65.25.24.245

When adding "and presents the reports as fact." with out citation is clearly POV. So I added a Fact tag to that POV Push. Should I withdraw the AIV?

Serafin

I've seen that you indefinitely blocked some socks or impersonators of User:Serafin. There's still User:Dlugopis and User:Olowek left. Together they've made five reverts at Recovered Territories within 24h. It appears Olowek agrees with the guess that Dlugopis and he are socks of each other. CheckUser may also confirm that they're using the IP 131.104.218.123. This IP comes from the same place where 131.104.218.46 is from. There's absolutely no doubt that the latter is the main IP of the currently blocked user Serafin, not even from himself. Sciurinæ 01:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for intervening. I would still favour an IP check and maybe file a report tomorrow to see whether Serafin can be held accountable. In the meantime, another such account has emerged, User:Noz1, with a similar pattern. Sciurinæ 02:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. Whoa, it seems like every time I want to go to bed another puppet appears. He must have a lot of accounts to waste them like these. Sciurinæ 02:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for being such a fast vandal blocker. I may have been a little quick on the IP address, but I saw it reverted to his rather poor version and wanted to "nip it in the bud". If it wasn't apparent enough that user:Dlugopis was a Serafin puppet, [1] here he personally attacks me. How much more of this will it take for him to learn?

The Maleabroad saga continues

Hello Luna - banned user Maleabroad is continuing to cause a lot of disruption by editing through multiple sock-puppet accounts. See for example Randomatom001's edits of yesterday. I'm not sure if you are the right person to contanct in regards to this, but can see you placed the original one-week block. Is there anything else that can be done? Regards, Gouranga(UK) 11:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

re: Shelby Young

The biggest problem at this point is that she's not listed under IMDb as having done any work (not even an (uncredited) tag). Proof is here. Please leave a message for me if I'm needed. - Penwhale | ^{Blast him / Follow his steps} 03:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Greeon/69.181.43.159

I'm glad you noticed what was going on, and gather that you agree with me that Greeon and 69.181.43.159 are the same. I suggest that you block the IP, whereas "MightyLord", another "new user", has just restored the offending section again.

Also, Greeon has started a user-page for me, by bothering me about this stuff. Would you please nuke it? I don't want one. Thanks.
-- Lonewolf BC 07:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, that was quick. Thanks. -- Lonewolf BC 07:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, didn't notice your userpage turn blue. ;) Taken care of that. – Luna Santin (talk) 07:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Glad to help out, there. WHOIS says their IP is registered to Comcast, and it seems to be dynamic -- won't say too much more for now, but I'll try to keep an eye on it. Initially I saw it and just thought, "Oooh, lookiee, another controversy on the Coulter page," but that one heated up more than usual, so... – Luna Santin (talk) 07:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not on Comcast! Greeon IS NOT the same user as 69.181.43.159 (trust me). All I tried to do was keep a discussion open. I mistakenly responsed to your comment on my Talk page on your User page instead of your Talk page. -- Greeon

Hi again, Luna. You might wish to block PowerSongs, self-admitted block-evasion account of Greeon, used to post the just-above on my talk-page (Diff). By the way, I'm "watching" this page, temporarily, so you might as well post any reply to me here. -- Lonewolf BC 15:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup

Thanks for the speedy cleanup of my checkuser request here. If you see any other (i hope not!) problems that I can fix, please do contact me :) Thanks again for the cleanup. MrMacMan 08:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Sock puppet

As you can see here, Alex678 is confirmed to be a sock of Nationalist. But no one has blocked him yet. He had vandalized a couple of articles. Please block him ASAP, thank you.--Jerrypp772000 19:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Help on an RFC

Hello! On December 31, 2006, according to the very first Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/SEGA, you blocked SEGA (talk • contribs) with the reason being that page. Two times since then, other sockpuppets have appeared and were dealt with, resulting in 30+ blocks. Now, there is a fourth case I have recently filed, but the clerks have asked twice where is the "Diff of the discussion that led to the community ban". I think I mentioned it correctly with this diff. Am I missing something else? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 22:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Simple rename requests at WP:CHU/U

Following Dan's comment here [2] that separate request are not needed, I have been in the habit of moving such request to WP:CHU with a clerknote and letting the user know. Is there a strong need to have their name in the page history when one can include a diff of the original request at WP:CHU/U? WjBscribe 18:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Here's an example of one I moved over to the other board [3]. Nichalp has made no objection to fulfiling such requests. Seems best to have them on WP:CHU so they're dealt with straight away. I think they only check the usurpation requests that have been there for a week- rather than scrolling down the list. Also, having them at CHU means they end up in the right archive.

Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Otheus

Could you look into this request again? It was filed as a class B and rejected as such although it's also a legitimate class F request. I'm dealing with ongoing developments. In the week since I've been asked to perform a sockpuppet investigation my userpage has been vandalized repeatedly from a public library that WHOIS indicates as about twelve to fifteen miles away from the physical location of those IP addresses and the vandalism included a threat to hack my computer. A sockpuppet registered today and nominated my investigation report for MFD.

At this point I'm uncertain whether to keep the appeal open and update it or to refile. My research indicates that a single individual has flown below the radar and damaged Wikipedia since July 2005 without ever getting sitebanned. A checkuser would help very much to complete my investigation. Please advise. Durova^Charge! 21:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

RFCU guidelines

Hi, how do you establish sockpuppeting for a user who is 30+days between edits? I don't understand - if a sockpuppet is blocked and then comes again as another sockpuppet after 30 days, does that mean that RFCU can never be established? --Hamsacharya dan 19:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

That is frequently but not quite always the case (a more complete explanation might be a bit WP:BEANSy). Checkuser isn't the only option, though, of course -- persistent sockpuppeteers can otherwise be dealt with via WP:SSP, WP:RFC, and WP:AN/I. Hope that helps! – Luna Santin (talk) 21:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit?

Hi could you do an edit for me on a protected page? DGP

Money merge account

RE: Money Merge Account topic

I had originally created this topic de-novo on wikipedia to provide freely accessible public information about what is basically a financial fraud scheme. It is both current and contemporaneous, and I suspect that the number of page hits for this topic was mostly from individual consumers investigating the product being sold for $3,500 usd. It's removal is in fact detrimental to the public.

As well I have been providing free information on my website exposing the fraud to consumers, and explaining the free alternatives available. http://www.integramortgages.com/FinancialVOODOO We have over 30 years of finance and specifically mortgage and real estate finance experience, and I am an expert in this field.

Additionally, we have been consulting with the Financial Crimes division of various western cities, and others, who are attempting to stop the sale of this product and prosecution of the individuals. State laws vary, however the deceptive and unethical sales tactics are wrong no matter where they are employed.

After my initial page creation (Independant 3rd party), that information was subsequently changed to what amounted to a legitimate looking link (endorsement) to the seller' commercial web site where they were selling their product. I subsequently discovered this and (rather than deleting their commercial info) I re-posted the original 'independant'content/ definition directly below what they had added.

In hindsight the original information may have been praised in a somewhat argumentative manner, however it was not incorrect.

I would like to formally request that you allow this page to be 'unlocked' and 're-posted' for purposes of consumer protection, and to providing fair, accurate, and relevant content on wikipedia.

I would also be interested to volunteer to contribute to wikipedia by either managing this topic or simply to assist as an expert in reviewing the content of the post to ensure that it is correct, non-commercial, and informative.

Best Regards,

Ron Hobbs Integra Mortgage and Investment, Inc. www.integramortgages.com

Why are my IPs always blocked?

My ISP is Tiscali UK which has a shared IPs, I dont seem to be the only person requesting that you remove this block so could you please remove it? You do realise by blocking this ISP you're probably preventing about 2million people editing Wikipedia? --Shookvitals 19:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Shuffling poker chips?

Sounds like fun... Anyway, when you've got a moment, could you possibly just take a quick look at Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages and make sure I haven't screwed anything up? I've spent the better part of a day making it vaguely current (and having a couple of things protected/unprotected). And remember to tag things when you protect them... speaking of which, AzaToth seems to be making some new protection templates, they have weird multicoloured padlock icons (green and blue and pink) you might want to look at his proposal, too. Thanks! – Qxz 19:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Luna

why are you blocking me I am the one updating Maricel's profile so stop blocking me if you don't wanmt me to report you....I think you are not Maricelian and you want to destroy us...stop it I am warning you... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jesyjond (talk • contribs) 25 March 2007.

Still blocked!!

Please can you tell me why I am still blocked from editing. I was recently informed by yourself that I had been blocked due to my IP address being one of many UK users who had needed to be blocked due to a member being abusive to another member.

As I understand things, this block was to last for two weeks? However, I am still blocked from editing. Is the block still in place, or do I have a seprate problem with my computer?

Many thanks

Do you even read these messages?

This place's problems aren't going to go away by themselves. And yet what incentive is there for anyone who tries to deal with them? And what happens when they try? There are just too many people here who disagree with me, I guess. The events of today were the final straw. I quit. Was nice knowing you – Qxz 09:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I do read them! But I'm also very busy, this week, and don't always have time. =\ Regarding your earlier message, I'm not actually too familiar with how Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages should look -- it seems well enough, to me, and if nobody's spoken up about it, yet, I'd say your edits were probably fine. – Luna Santin (talk) 18:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Appology

Hi Luna, just want to say sorry. Some guy (now indef blocked) moved your userpage and talk page all over the place with complex redirects, I tried to sort it myself, but managed to mess up so I listed it on WP:AN/I, just want you to know that I wasn't involved in any messing around with your account, sorry again Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 19:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

User Block IP 88.110.191.102.

I very annoyed to find that an IP address has been blocked by you. I don't believe it is anything I have done so why?

From reading other comments it appears you have blocked the whole of the UK or something because there is one irate user - if this is the way they are treated, no wonder they are irate!

I regularly find odd mistakes in wikipedia and if I had to sign in each time, I'd probably not bother to correct them.

But most annoying of all is not knowing why this IP has been blocked, whether anything has been done to correct the problem, or whether this will continue. It really isn't good enough.

It seems that the user calling themselves User:soopahoops77 has been abusing your chosen name. I would just liketo say, that i think Luna is a great name, as it reminds me of my cat i named Luna. I always thought she resembled a juicy and lush artichoke!!!

Not sure what to do with this...

I just reverted a series of massive POV edits (and associated vandalism) by User:Rrrrrrrobbie to William Morgan (anti-Mason). The nature of the edits would seem to confirm a throwaway account made by Lightbringer, and an IP was just blocked as LB. Would there be a way to do an unofficial CU to see if the underlying IP is the same before I file an RFCU? It's wasted effort and time on both sides if the underlying IP's already been blocked. If it hasn't, rhen I'll file the request. MSJapan 21:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

User Block IP 88.110.107.31

Is there any specific reason as to why this was blocked, this is my current IP of when i'm not logged in, which is practically all the time, only one edit has been made from this IP and it was completely reasonable. I see however you must have blocked all IP's in the range 88.110.*.*, for whatever reason, please be more specific in the IP's you block rather than mass blocks. And if possible unblock this one IP.
