Excuse me, but why did you delete the redirect M.o.v.e to make way for a move, despite the consensus name at the talk page being Move (Japanese band)? --Prosperosity (talk) 23:20, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
An SPI where you previously commented has been reopened. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nableezy. Sincerely, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:40, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
I would appreciate it, if you could take another look at this. Compare Razzinator (talk · contribs) with Razzfan (talk · contribs). Similar usernames, and both make unsourced changes to "Razzie" Awards pages. Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Can you take a look at this? Same exact articles, similar usernames, same pattern of adding unsourced info, articles include List of Total Drama series characters and List of General Hospital cast members and Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress, etc. This is not simply coincidence. How can I appeal this sock investigation finding? Can you please have another look at the contribs of Razzinator (talk · contribs) with Razzfan (talk · contribs) ? -- Cirt (talk) 15:38, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I believe you closed the case prematurely. The new accusations are behaviorally based, not technically based, and the previous findings do not shed light on the behavior. I agree that a new CU check will not be helpful, but an experienced admin should review the behavioral suggestions and comment on their strength or weakness. Therefore, I reopened the case and put it into the non-CU section. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 19:13, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your help, I talked with you on #wikipedia-en-help as Loki, and you helped me in marking my CI as edit=sysop as requested (Protection Log). Again, thank you for your help. --»Wolfnix« 23:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I am interested in becoming a clerk at SPI. You were on the list of clerks and didn't have a trainee so I decided to contact you. I have Rollback and am familiar with the allowed uses of alt. accounts and am a fairly well established/ trusted editor. I know I'm knew but that doesn't mean that I don't understand the policies. I understand them and follow them. Mr. R00t Talk 19:28, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm missing what in the contributions points to User:Fabstoflops being a sock of anyone listed here. What in their contributions points to this?--Chaser (talk) 03:20, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello! Since you participated in The MfD, you might be interested in participating in the Deletion Review, as well.
1st question: Hello, I have a question regarding talk pages. On English wiki we should use English language when we talk? Right? The use of other languages is not allowed?
2nd: About the warning I received on the false request of User:Nmate, it is important to be retracted because if another "report" (where the result was case not valid) like this appear I could be banned for no apparent reason. Since the Admin who issued this warning is on indefinite Wikibreak I would like to ask you for the possibility of retracting this warning. Thank you. Adrian (talk) 12:50, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
"Palestinian leaders are habitual liars" is one of his comments from the talk page, where you can get an excellent impression of him. Anyway, I will be patient, but thought you should know he seems on a sometimes incoherent campaign to exclude all my (bloat-cutting) edits and to grow an already 140,000 plus bytes article with his 'even more bad stuff about Hamas'.Haberstr (talk) 21:00, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Please take a look at the history of your talk section to see the discussion of X3D edits started by me and vandalized by others. The issues have been resolved, but you should see what my original comments sparked. 138.88.65.145 (talk) 20:21, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
That's OK you undid my revision, because the one, who this edit was addressed to read it already, but you do not know the whole story to decide what is and what is not appropriate. Regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, you leaved me also curious. Why was it not appropriate? Iyow2 (talk) 21:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
I noted some duplicate warnings with the HBC Archive Indexerbot configs you have setup. I'm fixing these for you. The Indexerbot code snippet should only be placed in one place. In your situation I did left the code snippet in /Archive 1. --Kslotte (talk) 22:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi - can you explain your cryptic edit summary relating to the following edit to John P. Costas (business). Further, are you supporting removal of this text? I think it would be a stretch to make a case that there is a WP:BLP issue - this is directly from a Bloomberg article and it is couched as UBS's reporting of their own losses. This is not a comment about the Costas himself but rather a loss-making division of UBS that was shuttered during the financial crisis. This editor is a major WP:COI issue as an admitted former Dillon Read Capital Management trader. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 14:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
You said you already confirmed his identity. Someone tried to delete something he gave permission to use. I added the link to the OST ticket you mentioned, but the automatic template doesn't say its confirmed. Can you please confirm his identity there, and replace it with whatever template is necessary? The talk page has more evidence of his identity and he gives permission to publish the article there. He also did it in an email he sent me, that I forwarded to you guys. Will someone with access read both emails to confirm his identity, and that he did give permission to this? Dream Focus 17:54, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

As someone who previously participated in the discussion to adopt policy verbiage that is being used as a rationale to delete "vandalism sandboxes", your input would be appreciated on the matter: Wikipedia talk:User pages#Userspace Vandalism Sandboxes. Gigs (talk) 15:09, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I thought I'd draw your attention to the post-block discussion on the user's talk page, where the user is simply continuing to type all in caps and refer to admins as "mods" to further irk other users, and has indicated that they have no intention of complying with the community's request. They don't seem interested in filing an unblock request either, so it might be time to withdraw their talk page access. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 08:23, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I've had technical issues. Thanks for dealing with that. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:10, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Good afternoon. I personally disagree with the deletion of this person's article. I find him to be notable, and unless there's a compelling reason for the "courtesy deletion", I will likely request undeletion Purplebackpack89 22:30, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
i notice you deleted this blp. while i normally am deferential to the subject of article, i must take issue with the statement that a MacArthur Fellows Program winner is "marginally notable". it seems he is a public figure. Accotink2 talk 01:13, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
PeterSymonds, if, in the future, for whatever reasons, one finds it difficult to get a response from you after requests, , what is a good way that you would suggest to get ahold of you, or a next step to take? Just curious because it did involved legitimate disruption to the project by a user that was subsequently indef-blocked. Would like to know what users should do if this type of situation crops up again. Post a new subsection to your talk page instead of posting to an older thread higher up on the page? File a repeat SPI investigation for the same user, but with the newly-discovered evidence? Email you? Would appreciate your advice. Thank you for your time. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 18:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm wondering why you, and user jpgordon, have undone the recent edits I made to The Kitchen page? I work for the organization and we are in the process of updating it so it is accurate and consistent. Please let me know.

Hey there. Could you unprotect Template:Editor-review/editintro? I need to make some updates to it and test it in general to make it clearer and easier to understand. I think changing the protection to edit=autoconfirmed is sufficient, as this template is quite hard to find. Netalarmtalk 21:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Peter, I see that you lock the Bigfoot page to prevent vandalism. I read an article on the BFRO webpage about one of the references cited in the article, currently footnote 66 which references a Swedish book, "Berömda Vidunder". The artcle is: http://www.bfro.net/REF/wikipedia_edit.asp Could you take their arguments and research into account on the statement and reference used. They are saying that the book used is not a scientific journal, which should preclude it from the "View among the scientific community" section. Thank you for looking at this, Mike Mikek2003 (talk) 02:59, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry about the 'Some housekeeping items' header I placed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Cote (film director). The creator of the article is inserting his comments within others' posts and it was getting messy (and has gotten messy again). I was trying to keep my comments separate from the consensus-building but attached to the AfD since there are new/one-subject editors posting there. Shearonink (talk) 14:49, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you protected the Herb Sandler article which basically removed the following text []:
Begin Quote Sandler and his wife have throughout their public life denounced predatory lenders and the poor underwriting practices of other lenders. However, the actual practices of their firm especially in the 2000s, undermined their conservative lending principles and reputations, especially in the wake of the housing crash in 2008.[4]
The Sandlers are credited with the invention of the "Pick-A-Pay" mortgage that allowed borrowers to pay less than the interest due on their loan each month -- which increased the total amount owed by the borrower. Analysts place the blame on the near failure of Wachovia in the fall of 2008 on the "Pick-A-Pay" mortgage portfolio they acquired from the Sandler's firm.[5]
Martin Eakes, the director of the Center for Responsible Lending, said that prepayment penalties would make it hard for cash-poor borrowers to refinance a loan for one with more manageable terms, and helped to get a law passed in North Carolina prohibiting such charges. The Sandlers supported prepayment penalties, acknowledging that lenders used the penalties to lock borrowers into “absolutely awful” loans, but saying that his firm used the penalties to fend off unethical brokers who enticed borrowers with low-interest-rate loans that often had hidden fees. Sandler described independent brokers as "the whores of the world”, nonetheless by 2006 independent brokers generated 60 percent of World Savings' loan business, and he claimed that he was compelled to do so because of brokers were a dominant force in the mortgage industry. World Savings was suppose to telephone applicants to ensure that they understood the terms of their loan, as a check on the representations that brokers made to borrowers, but these calls reached only about half of the borrowers. [6] End Quote
I cannot understand what precisely the BLP concerns are? The information may be negative, but it is well sourced (mostly the New York Times). Please explain.
Thanks,
LN
I'm no fan of Mick (and have been the target of his invective a few times) and as usual his response was OTT, but he was baited unreasonably there. I suppose the ban from his talk page was bound to happen, but I think if left alone he might have thought better in the cold light of day. Not a complaint by the way, just a note. I have reverted the offensive point per WP:BAIT as don't think Mick's use of obscenities justifies the use against him even if the intent was ironic. --Snowded TALK 21:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering since I have seen you on the IRC, if you would consider taking me on as your SPI clerk trainee. I truly would like to assist with SPI requests. I have read all the clerk information and agree to abide by those policies and know when and when not to endorse a request for a CU. Thank you. JoeGazz ▲ 12:25, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Sadly, a member of the band Old Skull died this week and as news is trickling in, it's being added to the page. Unfortunately, there's a person using an anonymous IP address to delete sourced info only to replace it with misspelled words and tribute stile verbage. Please take a look. I have no desire to break the 3 revert rule and this is already getting out of hand. You've helped me in similar situations before. Hopefully you can do so again. Thanks!

Hello, Peter. I was istructed to speak with you. (1.discuss the matter with the deleting administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first. If you and the admin cannot work out a satisfactory solution, only then should you bring the matter before Deletion review.) Can you help me with this?
Thank you very much--Danielconstantin (talk) 13:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ionuţ Caragea. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Danielconstantin (talk) 13:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedian,
This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.
For information on the community IRC meeting please go here
More to come about:
Many Thanks
You obviously had to leave. Thanks for your attention, anyway. I'll wait for a response one way or another and then follow through on your suggestion. -Danjel (talk) 14:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

May I ask what precipitated this: ? He is interacting with people who are trying to advise him on adjusting his behavior. If you block his access to his talk page, he's going to come out of the gate on Tuesday even more annoyed, and unadvised. I'd like to restore talk page access.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
