Help Request

Hi, I've found a possible copyvio, but it's not from an internet url... looks like someone copied out an entry in a who's who, or something! Could be very difficult to find the original, he's definately notable enough for wikipedia, so is there anything I should do apart from note the possible copyvio on the talk page?

Thanks for your help, --Sepa 11:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I've checked the copyright pages, and the procedures all hinge on there being an internet source. However, the article was googled and there is nothing - the article really does read like an entry from a dictionary of biography or something. I guess I'll just leave it with a note on the talk page... I'm categorising uncategorised articles, so don't want to get sidetracked... there's a huge backlog. Cheers, --Sepa 11:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

sorry, marked entry as minor and it's not...--Sepa 11:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think I've figured out what they've done... they've copytyped from a dictionary of biography, which they've then put as a reference at the bottom of the page. Should I just delete the majority of text and write a quick short stub? That wouldn't take too long, and would at least get rid of the copyrighted text?

I enjoy categorisation, you learn all sorts of odd things, but there are soooooo many uncat pages out there!! Thousands!--Sepa 11:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Decided to rewrite as a stub, as didn't take long. The user has only made one edit, so might leave it there, as yes, don't particularly want to get too much more involved! Thanks for your help and moral support!!--Sepa 11:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you. (Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 01:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

And good luck on your current RfA! alphaChimp ^laudare 01:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Third opinon?

Hi, I am currently arguing with 203.45.125.4 (whom you reverted vandalism) and I need your Third Opinon. Thanks. Mapletip 06:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It's okay, thanks anyways. Mapletip 06:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, having probs already

Hi Luna, Thanks for the welcome!!! I had an account before but the password was recently changed by someone and I hadn't put an email in to change it again so had to create a new account. Ah well :)

I'm doing my best to follow Wiki guidelines and of course everyone has their varying interpretations. Two disputes are going on over external links I've created and the subsequent deletion, re-posting, removal, blah blah blah. Remaining polite and calm I'm following 'dsipute guidelines'. Could you please tell me though about anyone's authority telling me NOT TO POST the links again? I've questioned them on this but get no response and they have deleted my questioning.

Thank you for your attention to this and I look forward to your reply. Wiki is a wonderful addition to the internet and I use it frequently for reference. As someone of first nations heritage my first Wiki edit was to bring in correct history and information and additions to a geographical page about the nation who's traditional territory was being referred to. This gave me a feeling of pride, so I thank the creators and maintainers of Wiki!!!! Inspirit 05:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)inspirit sept. 04 '06 10:52pm

Hi! I'm not entirely sure what's going on at Khatri, but several sockpuppets have been vandalising it, and I could use your help keeping it clean! HawkerTyphoon 09:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

My userpage

Thanks for reverting the vandalism. That guy's been after me ever since I reprimanded him for trolling on Jimbo's talk page.

WP:AN/I

I added a reply to WP:AN/I regarding the issue I brought up. I realize that the issue is already closed, but I wanted to clarify a few things in a public forum. I'm feeling a little pounded upon for bringing up something that I thought was a legitimate issue at the time. Several people seem to feel that I made a mistake as I somehow should have known better, but I don't see how I could have. On a completely different note, congratulations on your impending adminship. -- Gogo Dodo 00:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

What is with it

Anita934 how many has she created? Sugarpine^t 01:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Meaning she won't be creating any more accounts for a while due to the fact he's created 5 or 6 accounts. I heard somewhere you have to wait 24 more hours to create another one. Is that right? Also, I'll let you know if she comes back tommorow. Can you add Template:Indefblockuser to all of them? Sugarpine^t 01:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

O'Reilly double-standard

Hello, you unfairly blocked me from editing O'Reilly and called what I did vandalism. This is nonsense. What I added was well-cited and demonstrably more balanced than what was there. You're also not enforcing the 3R rule for people who are changing MY additions even though, as all is extensively documented, there's no hint of a libel possibility. You make repeated references to civility but only a fool thinks being civilized only refers to omitting words middle-class assholes find offensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.12.116.69 (talk • contribs) 08:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Nevertheless, you did violate WP:3RR, and very probably do need to read over WP:CIV. You're more than welcome to file a report at WP:AN3 if you feel other editors should be blocked for similar reasons. Luna Santin 08:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

The issue is your conduct, not mine. How do I go about reporting it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.149.54.179 (talk) 12 September 2006.

I see you've already found a spot; good luck, for what it's worth. Considering edits like these [1][2] and your 3RR violations, the block is perfectly in order. I don't have any opinion on the content dispute; I haven't participated in it, and have no current plans to -- community disruption, on the other hand, worries me. Edit warring and personal attacks will lead to blocks; if you play nice, you have nothing to worry about from me. Luna Santin 05:19, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

You characterized my *Bill O'Reilly* edits as vandalism That's just a naked lie. You know it, I know it, anyone who looks at it knows it, so don't try to pretend you're just trying to protect the community. You're abusing the tiny bit of authority you have, pure and simple. As I said when I reported you, I'm not blameless. But the bigger issue is you propagating your little ideology by mischaracterizing what I did, which--don't forget--came first. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.149.54.179 (talk) 12 September 2006.

Uh, if you say so. Please see WP:3RR and WP:NPA for additional explanations of your temporary block. Luna Santin 05:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I do say so. There's not a legitimate, factual argument to the contrary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.149.54.179 (talk) 12 September 2006.

WP:3RR/WP:NPA. As I said, I have no disposition on the content dispute, but the edit warring and personal attacks bother me. Unless you bring up a new point or take this in a new direction, this conversation seems to be going in circles. Luna Santin 05:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

It's going in circles because you're simply not acknowledging the issue for me: you characterizing my O'Reilly edits as vandalism. I've already said I have some blame, but not for the content of my edits. You just bring them up as a red herring. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.149.54.179 (talk) 12 September 2006.

Did you take notice of the part where I haven't blocked or reverted you since your return? :) Like I said, I really have no disposition on the content. It doesn't look like vandalism to me, and if I gave you the impression I thought it was, that's a misunderstanding on one or both of our parts. It really is just the edit warring and incivility. Editing signatures and a user page or two didn't help at the time, but it looks like you've stopped that, so. Luna Santin 05:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the block

Thanks on that. Rsm99833 10:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

STAR TV

Please do not put DISNEY CHANNEL & some STAR MAGIC HBO/MAX PACK package on the STAR TV Article...

DISNEY CHANNEL (DISNEY CHANNELS & PLAYHOUSE DISNEY) is not a part of STAR and they is no such thing as a STAR MAGIC HBO/MAX PACK package in STAR, they are not a cable tv.

You are just vandalizing the article.

User: Uberrascht

I tried to manually remove this article myself and you reverted back to the old state. I want this "article" to remove all references to me. It was created as a joke in poor taste by a friend without my authorization.

Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.113.168.141 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. I've nominated the article for deletion at MfD -- go ahead and follow the link to contribute to the discussion. Luna Santin 20:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

How long until this gets deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.113.168.141 (talk) 15 September 2006.

Not too much longer. The discussions tend to be open for about five days, this one's been going for three. You're more than welcome to comment on it here, if you like. There don't seem to be any objections, so I think it'll be gone soon. Luna Santin 22:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Keystroke logging continues to be controversial

Luna,

I was wondering if you might revisit this little controversy regarding the Keystroke logging article. You offered some opinions earlier, before you decided to back out before it became a revert war :) I don't blame you at all, and in fact I have been specifically not participating in the little revert war -- but I think at Fedia's request I am going to give it one last go to find a compromise/consensus. It would be helpful if you would weigh in. If not, that's cool too. I hope all is well! --Jaysweet 05:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Autoblocks Vandalbots

Re:

"I believe I've disabled the autoblock in question. :) Thanks for the neatest, calmest, easiest unblock request I've ever dealt with, and sorry for the trouble. Luna Santin 06:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)"

Thank you for responding so rapidly. As you know it is necessary to paste the autoblocking vandalbots message into your talk page. Having pasted it into the appropriate section of the talk page - i.e. the record of carnage caused by vandalbots attacking multiple IP users - I set about editing a short, neat and easy, (if not particularly calm), explanation of how this bot was misbehaving. Fortunately you were on the job very quickly to minimise the bot damage - unfortunately this meant the rational explanation was blocked by editing conflicts. However hopefully the debris left on the talk page from past vandalbot attacks made some sort of impact :-). Winstonwolfe 06:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting, as well as pointing out my IRC activity and my image experience, on my RFA. Thanks to your support, it passed 95 to 1.

Helping out with the backlog

Hi there and congratulations on your brand new sysop flag. Now that you are an admin, you might want to help the community in a way you weren't able to before. The obvious example is clearing out the Category:Administrative backlog :-) You might want to start with Wikipedia:Requested moves which I find the easiest to deal with.

Hi; the block has vanished, although the block log showed it in place until tomorrow. I was stated to be a sockpuppet, which I am not; the admin quoted was User:JvG if memory serves - the message has gone.--Anthony.bradbury 09:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Just happened again, equally transiently. The admin, who's name this time I recorded, is JzG, not what I said before. I am being labelled as a sockpuppet of Celestique, whom I know not.
