Thanks a lot for blocking this guy, He really was getting on my nerves vandalizing my user page for 10 minutes :) -- lucasbfr ^talk 15:52, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:LIVING and Nizkor Project

My comments on the Nizkor site were the truth. Fine I won't change the main page. But, the discussion section should be free for all views. That man has systematically destroyed my life. Is it not better I be able to refute myself online then to handle the matter in a fateful way, in person, in BC, Canada at his home. I've had years of therapy, I feel I should be able to lead a normal life, yet he haunts me like some tattoo across my face. It's best that I be allowed to speak my side of the story. Let this go. Prevent a tragedy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jdranetz (talk • contribs) 14 October 2006.

What to do?

I watch Abington Heights School District and it has been under attack by vandals lately (you reverted it recently). Besides IP addresses, there are four vandalism only user accounts involved: User:ThisisCarl, User:ThePhantomofthewiki, User:ZomgPANTHER, and User:SeAmNiNjA. Can they be blocked?

There is also one semi-useful account that also has vandalized User:Breakdown2218 (who says "I like to contribute to the Wii page and vadalize (sic) my school's page" on his user page), but this account at least makes useufl edits much of the time.

What has me concerned is that tonight they started putting in death threats [1]. While I doubt they are serious, you can't be too careful nowadays, so I sent an email to the school district.

What else should be done? Can / should the whole page be semi-protected? Thanks for any help, Ruhrfisch 01:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for helping with this - I will let you know if there are any more developments. I appreciate the assistance very much, Ruhrfisch 14:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Damn...I was watching for it, and still, AntiVandalBot reverted it and you blocked him before I had a chance to even revert it. The dude really needs to get a new hobby. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 01:59, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

You are aware that AntiVandalBot is a BOT, and not an ACTUAL USER, right? Sasuke-kun27 02:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Yup. Usually that particular vandal tries to be more subtle, keeping to things that AntiVandalBot won't catch. And the last several vandalisms have used intentionally innocuous and misleading edit summaries to try to sneak it by. Apparently he lost it when I reverted his first nonsense in seconds, so he knew sneaky wouldn't work. The ironic thing here is I'm not exactly what you'd call a fan of those girls...besides the ugliness of what they sing about, they have, um, no talent. (Just to see what all of the shouting was about, I watched one of their videos. No Grammy in their future.) -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 02:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I thought that by "The dude...", you meant AVB. Sorry. I'm gonna stop talking now (I don't feel like filling Luna's talk page with any more of my nonsense =P). Sasuke-kun27 02:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

{{db-nonsense}} :o Luna Santin 02:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Heh. No, I approve of AntiVandalBot's hobby. The dude in question is the one with the unhealthy fixation on a pair of teenage girls. He's about to come off a 48-hour block on another IP for exactly the same vandalism. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 02:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Bruderschaft deletion...

Hello. It seems you deleted the Bruderschaft article, but it doesn't say why you deleted it. Would be nice to know why =p. Torte 13:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

• Sure. :) IP just about blanked their talk page. Tagged as possible sock. Last contrib was 13 October, last block was 22 August for 3RR. Is it just a case of blanking their talk page, or is there something deeper I should be looking for? Luna Santin 18:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, it's just that page blanking, followed by another edit that did not correct the blanking. —12.72.72.229 18:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty. Restored. Luna Santin 18:40, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Anon users editing semi-protected pages

Hi, as you could see in Minotaur and Labyrinth, an anon user managed to alter the article content even though it's semi-protected. Any idea why this happened? - ||| antiuser (talk) (contribs) 03:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing it up. I think the guy who tagged it is an admin, maybe he just forgot to actually protect the pages. - ||| antiuser (talk) (contribs) 04:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Got it. I don't know if this is the same person from before, there's been lots of chicken-switching from AOL proxies and it might just be the same user (I've been reverting/warning them for 2 days now and they always come back). I'll let you know if they strike again. Thanks for your help! - ||| antiuser (talk) (contribs) 04:08, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Looks like they're back. - ||| antiuser (talk) (contribs) 07:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Autoblock

Thanks for unblocking me. I think S4110791 should probably be unblocked also. The login is from the University of Queensland and the username has the form of a UQ student number, also used as an email address. JQ 06:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Probably nothing, maybe something. Who knows, but if you're bored you might watch these recent new users. The first batch might be a school project, like "Media Studies 101" or something. The second lot is perhaps just someone who can't decide? - 152.91.9.144

I added some references to the article and removed the prod. There are two New York Times articles and an HBO documentary about her work to support notability.

Hey, Thanks

For the revert on my userpage. I've been getting a few cases of hit and run vandalism the last couple days. Random angry IP's and users who like to vandalize. Thanks! -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 22:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Reitzaleah

You may have been a bit too hard on User:Reitzaleah. The user's edit history is consistent with a new user just playing around ("can I really do this?"). Normally such users get multiple warnings followed by a 24 hour block if necessary. Jumping immediately to an indefinite block seems a bit over the top. Note that the user had not vandalized anything after the previous (and only) warning. Note also that the user's first edit was actually a small but valid contribution.--Srleffler 01:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Nizkor... and my conflicts with Ken MacVay

You are right. This is not the proper forum for this. I appreciate you understanding response. I am refuting his personal charges against me on my own site (outside of Wikipedia). He just seems to have a knack for getting his stuff at the top of Google searches. I do have web blogs relating to my professional skills and my interaction with people who have met me personally, a stark contrast to what MacVay has portrayed me as.

I ask this, if his article is self advertising his for profit business (he gets donations and speaking fees), is it possible that that article itself does not belong in Wikipedia because it falls out side the parameters established for articles?

Another subject, I have yet to figure out how to post "discussion" blogs with out actually "editing" the page itself, or is that the way to do it. I was thinking I was entering my side of the story in "discussions" in an incorrect manner.

User talk:202.83.114.78

This user repeatedly added nonsense to the article Geelong, Victoria whilst being simultaneously warned about such behavior. Most notable was this change. If you look through the contributions, you'll notice that almost all (I think there's one exception) contributions made by this user have been acts of vandalism. Cnwb 03:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Unblock

Thank you for unblocking me. It's no trouble at all. I understand the reason to block ip's. I just wish college dorms gave users their own ip addresses. It would solve headaches for regular users, and administrators alike. Anyway, thanks and have a good day :) Lithpiperpilot 06:05, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Unblock request

I smell a rat. Someone on this account knew exactly what he was doing. He didn't upload his picture to Wikipedia but to the commons. He also vandalized two existing articles beyond adding the silly vanity article. I agree that if he does anything silly again that he's out, so I'll see what he does when I unblock him. Not the worst vandal I've ever seen. Thanks for letting me know. You're one of the good ones.  :) - Lucky 6.9 14:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Hello Luna toaday is the first day I have ever watched the recent changes log and I have changed alot of vandalism. Am I doing it all right. (You are awsome at reverting vandalism).--Seadog.M.S 15:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Your Deletion.

Luna,

I saw that you deleted the article on Arjinderpal Sekhon[[3]], who is the Democratic Congressional Candidate for District 02 in California. I am unclear as to why you deleted his page. There are many other candidates' biographies on this resourceful website, and I am confused as to how his was either offensive or merited deletion. The Republican opponent has a page that you did not bother deleting. Is this politically motivated?

I ask that you please respond promptly or I will seek an answer from another review board.

Thanks,

Hi, Luna Santin. 24.181.67.188 is back to vandalizing Looney Tune pages by adding nonsense. Since you dealt with this user a couple days ago, your help would again be appreciated. Rizzleboffin 21:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Article Deletion Question

Hey, I seem to have blanked on the request posed by the user PeterWeller regarding recreation of a page deleted after an AfD.

Allow me to explain the situation: PeterWeller made both Ms Divine and Ms. Divine's Tee Hee Heure, but they were subsequently speedily deleted per A7 as a result of an AfD today. (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ms. Divine's Tee Hee Heure, which you deleted)

The article was recreated and subsequently deleted multiple times, so I protected both pages from further creation. PeterWeller comes to my user talk page and states his many reasons for keeping the article, and I am just wondering where I could go to get the article re-evaluated. Is it possible to go back to AfD and do another one there? I would hope so, but my uncertainty is what brought me to you in the first place.

P.S. See my talk page for his arguments for keeping the pages. Thanks. Nishkid64 00:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocking

Sorry about the time to respond, I've just got up and seen your message. I note that the user concerned has been unblocked. I was clearly too hasty in this case both to decide that the repeat creation was malicious, or, for that matter, that the content was anything more than a feeble effort. I do sometimes block without warning when clearly offensive material involving obscenity, racism or personal attacks are recreated, since that amounts to vandalism, but that doesn't apply in this case, and I was clearly wrong to take the action I did without a warning first. My apologies, and I'll post this on the user's page too. jimfbleak 05:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

User talk:74.131.154.210

I have responded there with my reasoning. You hit on the main points in your decline of the first request. I left a {{welcomeanon}} and a rough time frame on when the block was to expire. I usually wouldn't block for the first offense in over 20 days, but the pattern and circumstances justified it in my opinion. If you or someone else wants to lift it I'm fine with that. If an apology and promise to stop were given, i.e. guilty plea, I would probably lift it immediately though I would watch them to make sure they didn't start again. I'm just really having a hard time believing that the person requesting unblocking isn't the same person who was vandalizing.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 07:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Glad to be reassuring. Why it is that I happen to be awake at 3am to deal with an unblock request I don't know. Although according to my talk page I am one of the most active administrators of english wikipedia as it seems to [ User:Spiperon ]. :)—WAvegetarian•(talk) 07:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, diffs are a little hard to read, at first, but it gets much easier with time. The changes are generally in a bold, red font -- if the section is green, text was added; if orange, text was removed. The version on the left is the older version, the version on the right is newer. So in this case, 24.17.108.141 was vandalizing the page. I've since gone back and reverted to a better version. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Luna Santin 22:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Help and ideas needed

Hi Luna,

Sorry you've been spammed, but I hope you'll find for a good reason. I've know you are active around the recent changes arena (normally having beaten me to a revert), and I'm currently looking for help with a new project. I would like to harmonise all the warnings and templates we issue, with goal to creating a standard look, format and content to the messages. Even if you use VP, VS or any of the other vandal tools out there, I still feel this is worthwhile.

Your recent edits could give other users the impression that you may consider legal or other 'off-wiki' action against them. Please note that this is strongly discouraged under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats are often blocked indefinitely until their legal case is withdrawn or resolved. Please try to keep a cool head and work positively with other editors. Thanks.

Firstly, nice work with CAT:RFU, in assisting users who don't understand process etc. Just as a FYI, for users who incorrectly use {{unblock}} when autoblocked (ie. they should have used {{unblock-auto}}), there is a template which provides all the information these people need to assist with getting them unblocked. It is {{autoblocked}}. I won't bother to give you the drill regarding subst-ing it - I'm sure you know already. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 12:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
