Here's what I pulled down on it via Google -- it's a Word document. I'm sure there must be a better cite for this, it just seemed weird not to reference anyone, and this was all I could track down. BYT 13:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Want to make sure I know what I'm looking at. Is it this disagreement over the formatting on the cabinet box? Question before the house is not related to text in article, I mean? BYT 18:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Ok, cool. BYT —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 18:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Rlevse/Archive 8 | |
I would like to thank you for your participation in my successful RfA, which passed with a tally of (44/10/5)[1]. Whether you supported, opposed or were neutral in my RfA, I appreciate your participation and I hope that we can continue to work together to build a stronger and better Wikipedia. | |

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CrystalCityGirlScoutsDrama.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Hi! Just now read your message. I have been away for way to long. I will try to get back and help. Cheers. Anagnorisis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.82.147.39 (talk) 19:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I wished I would have known about those conversations because I do not agree with their decission. I agree with the argument that some awards are relatively minor and don't rate to be a category but even in the case of the Medal of Honor with relatively few recipients the lists are extremely long and must be split up on multiple pages. If we create lists for recipients of the Air Medal which has many more recipients the lists may be thousands of members long or span a large number of pages. Too late now though I guess, just my 2 cents.--Kumioko 01:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you cited WP:GTL in a recent edit changing the order of appendices in Billings ovulation method. I think the change you made is fine, but just wanted to point out that the Guide leaves such things up to the discretion of editors. From Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standard appendices and descriptions, Note 1: It is okay to change the sequence of these appendices. LyrlTalk C 17:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I thought about removing it. But, I'm still going to be on very limited editing for at least the rest of the month. (RL)
The WikiBreak has been good to stave off burnout. While I've been gone, seems like Wikipedia feels different. Many more deletionists.
How's your WikiLife been?
Hello, Rlevse. :) I see by your history that you contribute to WP:UAA. Another editor has approached me to ask about User:GM Chrysler. I have not had much experience with enforcing the username policy and hoped that I might either invite input from you or pass it over to an admin who has. It seems to me that the name may be in violation of username policy even though the individual is not using it to promote the company. While it is not a vandalism-only account, his efforts at [[Screw (disambiguation}]] are the sort of activity that could cause the company embarrassment. I'd be grateful for advice on how to proceed with this...or, as I said above, to bow out and let you handle it if you're so inclined. --Moonriddengirl 13:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
I went ahead and dropped the tag on his page. Hope that's okay. Rlevse 14:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Wanted to make sure you were aware of the RFU at User_talk:Netmonger. I took a quick look and couldn't find anything egregious, just petty back and forth stuff. The prior blocks were noted as being an error (see the block log) and the "bearnstar" did look like a good faith effort to bury the hatchet. Please advise if I'm missing something. Thanks. -- But|seriously|folks 03:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse! Nobody seems to be manning the desk at WP:UAA, can you pop over and take a look if you've got a minute, pretty please? It has been an hour since the last activity. Ariel♥Gold 20:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
It's always been difficult for me to navigate through Wikipedia. When I have certain questions or concerns to be brought up I'm never quite sure where to ask or to bring it to attention. I do not know about you in particular (except that you might know your way around here), but how were you able to find your feet here and know where to go/what to do to make a difference and be productive. Could you point me to any place in particular where I can get some answers on a number of general questions?
Thanks for your time Shimdidly 02:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
The user name probably warrant a block, but it might not be appropriate for you to block it. As both you and the user are involved in the RFCN/GodDelusion debate for the very reason of your block, your blocking of that account might appear as a conflict of interest. SYSS Mouse 02:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry you felt it necessary to oppose my recent RfA, which did not succeed. I will attempt to get more experience in the main namespace and will try again for RfA in two month's time. I hope I will have satisfied your concerns by then, but if not, please comment as you feel you should. Thanks for participating in my RfA. -- Cobi(t|c|b|cn) 07:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Rlevse, Willie boy is my pet name, and i do not take offence at it. I have dyspraxia and i often refer to myself as a loser. i am not clinically depressed so it is not insulting. I quite like it actually. Would you prefer i was called jaffa cake? Peace out. (Willieboyisaloser 17:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC))
A jaffa cake is an item of confectionery with a chocolate cover and an orange centre made of something or other. Go figure. PS I am not changing the username!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if it doesnt fit the wikipedia standards. (Willieboyisaloser 17:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC))
Hey man, I have a couple of issues that you many need to resolve with the GM Minivan vandal.
First of all, I forgot about the page Saturn Relay. he is also pushing his POV there, I simply forgot about it. Could you semi protect it?
Second, because of the the nature of this guy, one week semi-protection simply isn't enough. When he was pushing his POV and editwarring with different Ips at Opel Sintra, I got the page semi protected for a week. He simply waited the semi protection out and went back to POV pushing there. On that note, I think that all these pages need indefinite semi protection if we want this guy to finally stop, as he seems to be really determined to gloss up the GM minivan's pages. When we think he has finally done, then we can remove the protection. Karrmann 10:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for doing that. I appreciate it. :) GreenJoe 17:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

If you had a better suggestion for the name of Category:General presidents of the Young Men organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I would have liked to hear it. The change I suggested was based entirely upon consensus decisions from previous CFDs, not on my own preference for naming. I would have liked something shorter, but previous CFDs overruled my opinion on that. Snocrates 00:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Just to say, I don't think there's any indication that that name is really a violation - it appears to be a contracted "Foolish Ita", and google tells me that Ita is a name. The name doesn't seem to parse with the "shit" considered a component word. Just thought you might like to know. SamBC(talk) 10:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, aside from not templating regulars WP:TEMPLAR, I did not make a personal attack. I said that the reasoning behind was "I alone think a move should happen. He alone thinks one shouldn't happen. I'll do the move." was stupid, and if you can't see that it is then I am very sorry. As I said, it was not a personal attack and I have removed your warning from my talkpage.--Porcupine (prickle me! · contribs · status) 16:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

We tried to reconcile and we agreed upon some of the most contentious issues but few decided to stay outside although me and Sebastian (the other founder) tried our best to bring them in. I felt they stayed out because they did not want to reconcile and create/edit neutral articles (because Neutral articles most of the time tell the truth!!!) hence Wiki process will at some point has to catch up with them. Unfortunately one of the guys who was amenable to reconcile is perm.blocked because he/she violated WP:SOCK twice, but reality he/she was one of the few who was reasonable to any attempt at reconciliation. One of the temporary solutions would be Block some of the agregious violators from contributing to Sri Lanka related material as Fu.Perf suggested in the ANI. In the ANI Fayssal wanted to give us Sri Lanka specfic wikipedians some cooling off time before undertaking such drastic measures but from the edit patterns, it looks as if no reason will prevail with some of us. As soon they woke up, they went back to editing controversal subjects without making an attempt to find out what the consensus would be. Just keep an eye on these edits and you will swee what I have noticed. Only bold Admin action can prevent it from getting out of hand. Thanks for noticing and trying to help the project. Taprobanus 02:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I'd appreciate it if you would not open reports at RFCN without truly and properly giving the user a chance to discuss. You're an admin, you've been active there for a long time, and this is one of the rules at RFCN that was mandated by the community. Your report on User:Yer Momma was invalid as you left the message but gave the user no chance to actually respond to it. Similarly, your report on User:GM Chrysler was opened without even answering his first response to your message. Please make a real attempt to engage in discussion -- it's what WP:U says to do and it's the right thing, because RFCN can be very unfriendly and users engaged in polite conversation can be quite responsive, if they're given the chance.

Greetings from New Hampshire! I finally got back up here, and got all the buckles photographed, and was given an official quantity listing for the majority of the buckles from the museum. I showed Dick Zeloski, the Museum's Chairman the Wiki page, and he seemed happy that I was working on it. With the exception of two recent buckles, I now have complete data for all the rest. Which is exciting. So the next question would be what the next steps for the article should be. I wanted to get your opinions, and to see if the article was worthy to garner a higher quality level with the additional datum that I've accrued. I'll be back at Dulles tomorrow afternoon, but drop me a line if you can. Thanks! RobHoitt 02:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you made a comment on Mattisse's talk page about he/she continually makes tags on articles that already have references. I'm not sure if you've seen ALL of them. Look at their contributions page. Mattisse is not a bot, but tags hundreds of articles a day. This user has had a strange history of problems at this site. Recently it was noticed by a bot that some of their articles had evidence of copyvio and Mattisse was notified. Mattisse overreacted, threatened to stop contributing to Wikipedia (has done this several times for unrelated incidents), and then nominated dozens of his/her own articles on the copyvio community page for October 20th. I and another user made an RfC about a specific incident with Mattisse, but it went largely ignored by established Wikipedians, which is a shame. I also noticied that Mattisse threatened you at the end of his/her talk page. I don't know if you saw that yet. What is your take on all of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyborg Ninja (talk • contribs) 03:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
POLICY: WP:VERIFY - It specifially says that:
"any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source" -- this is possible from looking at a Reference section
"All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation.[1] The source should be cited clearly and precisely to enable readers to find the text that supports the article content in question." -- so the "requirement" is for material that is likely to be challenged GUIDELINE: WP:CITE -- not policy
When to cite: "All material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a source." - it does not say to cite / footnote everything
GUIDELINE: WP:Footnotes -- tells how and why; doesn't require
ESSAY: "When to cite" -- not policy, referred to in WP:CITE - clearly indicates one should not over-cite.
You asked why the sockpuppetry case was filed, so I thought I'd fill you in. You may be unaware but Grant has bypassed the indefinite block about 15-20 times. He has stated "he'll be back" and Colaatje5 was created during the problems with Grant Chuggle when he knew he was causing problems. The edits were similar if you look close enough. That's why I asked Daniel to look into it. IrishLass0128 13:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll admit my unfamiliarity with these "policing" aspects of the pedia; we don't see so much controversy in the history cluster as in other more volatile areas, like popular culture and current events. In my roughly two years of sporadically editing, I'd never personally run across an obvious case of sock puppetry, and so when I saw something I said something. I'm not trying to sound whiny here, but what do I do next? Continue to make the same case and see the same result? The page space has been on semiprotect almost continuously since July, and this IMHO unsatisfactory process conclusion neither clears the accused (and I still strongly suspect the user) nor assists established page editors avoid this kind of puppetry. To my mind, it sort of makes a joke of the SSP process, when long-term abuse is proved, but the process makes no additional investigation to discover the identity of the abuser. BusterD 20:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse, in cases like this where it's not obvious what to do with the evidence, I usually decide that things are inconclusive and close the case. Either things sort themselves out or another SSP case gets filed. Thanks for working on the SSP page, I think things go better there when multiple editors look over the cases. --Akhilleus (talk) 23:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
The thing is, the fact that they're on different ISPs isn't particularly important, one of them is registered to a lawyers office. A while back I googled on T. Rugg and there's a lawyer of that name in Ohio, there's probably some grudge there or something (i.e. essentially BLP issues); and one of the ISPs seems to be a lawyers office (Kegler Brown Hill & Ritter). The other one is presumably the perps home IP address. The vandalisation pattern isn't just one round of replacing the mayor with T.Rugg either, and both are semi-regularly vandalising:
From Special:Contributions/205.133.190.7:

Dearest Supporter,
I think I have exhausted the gammut of web sitable articles about Max. I am now looking to see if interviews of family, and colleagues would help me flesh out the article, is this allowed? I can't find a policy that says yes or no... If I can, can you steer me to a style sheet that would guide me in the proper ways of siting interviews. (I will most likely interview by email as it affords the interviewee the time to respond when time allows and gives me a written source to quote.) Thanks!!! RobHoitt 14:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I think your actions regarding this user leave a lot to be desired. I would have responded on the suspected sockpuppets page, but you closed it too quickly after you replied to me.
I fail to see how the tiny number of edits which have been made by Penguinchristie (talk · contribs) and DavidPricesolicitors (talk · contribs) to that article constitute an abuse under the sockpuppets policy. They did not collectively violate WP:3RR or each vote in anything. It would be a very, very broad stretch to say that they were used to create an illusion of broader support than actually exists. In fact, DavidPricesolicitors (talk · contribs) actively removed material from the article which may constitute defamation. The edits by these users violated NPOV, but this could be explained by inexperience with Wikipedia's policies and procedures, and probably could have been remedied by a simple note.
I told you on the suspected sockpuppets page that Orlandofiges (talk · contribs) had stated on OTRS that his lawyers and publicist/publisher (Penguin) had edited the article in an effort to counter the WP:BLP violations in the article. Despite me telling you this, and providing you with a link to the OTRS page on meta so you could confirm that with another OTRS user, you went ahead and accused Orlandofiges of creating two sockpuppets and using them "to collude on the article Orlando Figes".
Further, you put an "It is suspected that this user has used one or more accounts abusively" on his user page, despite the concerns you state about him using a user account that has the same name as a well-known person. Am I the only person who sees the farce there? Also, the links on the pages of the blocked users appear to point to the wrong page.
Anyway, the lawyer's account should have been blocked under our username policy (as a username that is a company name, or a non-permitted role account, or for making legal threats), and the publisher's account I don't know what.
I have emailed Orlando Figes' university email account as listed on his web page (from info-en@wikimedia.org), to ask him to confirm his identity. He used an ISP email account to contact us. - Mark 09:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed a pending case regarding me and another user here. I've added my comments to it. Basically I wanted to say that the case is completely without merit. This user has been warned about making frivolous sockpuppetry accusations. You will notice that I have had an extensive edit history on Wikipedia and that it is very different from B Nambiar's. We didn't make the "exact same edits" in the Nair article. Those were reverts actually. The article has now been protected. We're actually engaged in discussion right now to improve that article, and others. You will also notice that the editor who made the accusation has been asked numerous times to participate in the discussions but has not done so. Basically all I'm saying is that this user has made this accusation without any evidence whatsoever.

Hi an Admin User:Blnguyen claims that this article is Unsourced, MOS violations and the like. also sourced POV in any case. At the T:DYK []. However, fails to claim what is unsourced and what MOS are violated and what the pov source is. You see, this admin is someone who I have had dispute before. Can you please take a look at the article and comment on what the problem is. I am going to ask this particular admin what the problem is. I am still looking for another opinion on this article. Watchdogb 17:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
If this particular user is talking about UTHR when he says that this source is POV Please read the below
Here are what other reliable sources claiming about UTHR
This is something another admin has found:
Last, the two people who are running UTHR right now have won the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders for 2007. IF these are not enough to show that this citation is Notable and is IS NPOV I have no idea what is. Watchdogb 17:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I notice that you tagged Hartal 1953 as part of a consensus re dispute resolution. No notice of the dispute appeared on the talk page for Hartal 1953. Please could you direct me to the discussion? I found no mention of the Hartel at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation. In June of 2006 I tried to clean up the article and make it NPOV, but I did not have the data to clean up much of the "Events" and "Long-term effects" sections, so I tagged them, and so they have remained for sixteen months. I would recommend looking at The politics of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) (1973) by Robert N. Kearney; and The modern history of Ceylon (1966) by E. F. C. Ludowyk, but I do not have access to them. Politics in Sri Lanka, 1947-1973 (1974) by A Jeyaratnam Wilson also covers it, at least in passing, as shown in snippets from the Google book search. I am not sure that Hartal!... by Colvin R. De Silva of the Lanka Samasamaja Party, cited as a reference, is a neutral source. --Bejnar 20:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Before you continue falling for the word of a troll, misinterpret the timing, and continue to insist on using false equivalency, consider the following:
1) I hadn't been editing Wikipedia in a month. What drew me back was tracing the source of someone leaving a comment on my blog, reading "fuck off, you wikipedia nazi". And hey, look where its IP address led to. Very helpful of TruthCrusader. I left a message telling him he'd been rumbled, and lo, another message shows up (though this time he thought to use an anonymizer first):
Lemme know how that double-standard troll-enabling philosophy works out for you.
2)The stuff documented publicly isn't the worst thing that TruthCrusader seems to have done, but it shouldn't be dredged up unless absolutely necessary, since the energy-suck that's already taken place is bad enough, more drama is unhelpful, and there are privacy issues involved. He's blocked, and that should be the end of it.
3) And before you continue badgering Jpgordon, I should tell you that I have been advising not just Jpgordon, but two other admins, and they don't seem to have objected so far. If you want, I can ask them to contact you directly with their opinions -- or you can just stop assuming bad faith from a long-time admin and member of ArbCom, namely Jpgordon. --Calton | Talk 14:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello Rlevse. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue that you may be involved with.

I would like to ask you if you can call an RfC on categories. Category:Esterházy consists of Hungarian people who lived in the Kingdom of Hungary for centuries, even Britannica says they are Hungarian. See House of Esterházy where I brought three sources for the statement, all the articles about different members of the family say they are Hungarian. The category "Slovak noble houses" is added there by a Slovak user, because after the Treaty of Trianon a few of them lived in Czechoslovakia for a while like half a million ethnic Hungarians are living in Slovakia today as a minority. They were forced into Czechoslovak citizenship after World War I, does that make them a "Slovak noble house"? Squash Racket 14:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Anyone can start an RFC, you don't need me. I really don't know much about this area of history, so I'm not sure if I'd be much use. If you start the RFC, I'll at some point comment if you remind me. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
The evidence linking User:Starkrm to User:Nrcprm2026/James Salsman will be forthcoming after the RfCu is complete, It was filed on 10/16 and I have no idea why it has taken so long for anyone to act on it. The accusation that this is some kind of wild goose chase or a fishing expedition is without merit, as the newly listed users on the RfCu have a editing history that matches his previous behavior.
Don’t threaten me with a block unless you yourself have some kind of evidence that I am not acting in good faith. Salsman has used dozens of sockpuppets , in the past to evade his arbcom decision and now his complete ban from Wikipedia. Its editors like Salsman that have caused many users to leave Wikipedia in total disgust, and I think you should be a bit more understanding of that fact, and the need to aggressively police users like Salsman.

This sockpuppeteer is trolling, deleting sock puppet templates and warnings, and breaking the 3rr rule. Steven Greiner 02:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Last warning from me, this is for both sides and whatever sock puppetts may or may not exist. Learn to behave and work things out or I'll protect all the Tekken pages and block both of you. Drjsveca is definitely a sock of someone as legit new accounts don't make SSP reports right off the bat-sorry I didn't notice this before. I'm blockingDrjsveca. However, I still think Pedro is a sock too. Reverting editors who make legit entries with refs is a mistake, cease and desist. There is definitely fishy stuff going on here, stop it, all parties. Non admins should not be removing sock tags, whether it's your user page or not. Sinh violated 3RR, not Steven Greiner, it takes 4 edits to vio 3RR. BOth are warned on this now. Both need to use talk pages before making controversial edits. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Tekken 6, which this seems to be mostly about, has been full protected. This will expire in 3 weeks. Info on future releases can be added to articles if it has a valid ref--this also seems core to this dispute. Everyone chill out and wait for the release. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you here, but in your declined block request of Auroranorth, you simply cited his long block history. Alot of his blocks were in his early days as a wikipedia user (early active days) since his last block, he has come back to wikipedia with a purpose and has made some good contribs. All I am asking is that maybe you see past his block history. I think the week ban was very much on the harsh side, i think 48 hours would be appropriate. Please note: I am not an A-grade troll or anything. Thanks for your time. Twenty Years 02:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that the one week block placed by Jéské Couriano (e.g. ) was merely a provisional block in response to my request: . That is, I thought that the one week block was merely to provide time for a consensus to be made on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (5th). This is a permanently banned user, after all, so I don't see how the one-week block is commensurate with this user's past history. Are you sure that you don't want to leave this case open prior to this case receiving any commentary? Myasuda 02:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. You placed a {{resolved}} tag with the comment "Editor indef blocked" on the above matter. I have reviewed the block logs and neither party, Mattisse or User:Cyborg Ninja, appears to be blocked (nor are they notified on their talkpages). Have you blocked either editor? If so, I would like to discuss the reasons - but I am more inclined to think that the template was intended for another matter. I have, in the meantime, removed the template. Cheers.

3. In English, Polish and Scout/Scouter/Scouting are proper nouns and start with capital letters. ok
4. I notice you used British English, not American. No big deal -;) i don't see the diffrence yet :)
5. Was their son born in America? When did they arrive in USA and when did they go back to Europe? Her son was born in USA, she arrived in 1915 and go back in 1916
6. What country did she take the students to in WWII before she went to the UK? Probably to Romania, where most of polish goverment goes, but i will check in sources

Please take a look at the discussion at Edmund the Martyr. EdChampion is a single purpose editor who has been blocked before for edit warring and not engaging in discussion. He knows a great deal about WP policy, yet edits nothing other then Edmund the Martyr. HE is certainly a sock puppet and while I have a pretty good idea who he belongs to - a banned user - I have never attempted to have him checked. He is an annoyance, but all consensus (5+ editors) is against him.
Whatsupwestcoast and I are both members of a Wikiproject, so there is some overlap in our edits, but he is Canadian and demonstrates it with knowledge that only a local could have. I am an American and have never been to Canada. My personal details are all on my user page, EdChampion googled me a few month back to get my cell number, and in my line of work all my info is the internet. I figured I may as well be out with it all. The article in question has gone RfC in an attempt to end this problem once and for all. Consensus is almost certainly going to go against EdChampion (even his name is POV) and he is getting desperate. Do as you will, but please take a moment and have all the facts before you start calling editors "meat puppets" - if that is the case, Angus McLellan, David Underdown, The Rambling Man, Edmund Patrick and others are all puppets, too. Consensus is 100% against the position insisted on by EdChampion and it is not because of article ownership or sock puppetry, it is because he is advancing a fringe opinion that merits no further mention in the article. Please see for yourself. Best. -- SECisek 23:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I would, however, like to bring an item for discussion, and that is the possibility that, despite their disparate locations, WiccaWeb and Proxy User (and the other IPs) are the same person. I believe this is possible because of the McChord AFB - Colorado Springs, CO Air Force connection. The language is just too similar, and both appeared about the same time. It's possible he's jumping servers in the Air Force network or goes from one location to the other on temporary duty (very common). FWIW. Again, thanks and have a Wiki day! Mmoyer 16:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
OK, after an hour and a half of work, here are the diffs and quotes, broken down:
Language similarities (from talk pages):
WiccaWeb:
131.30.121.23 (from McChord AFB):
Proxy User (account has only been used on [[[Bandidos]]-related issues ):
Edits to Bandidos:
Summary. WiccaWeb and Proxy User argue with the same style, both visually and grammatically. Proxy User's account is created only after I suggest that Wiccaweb was rude, with his "don't patronize me with that crap" comment. Proxy user attributes talk by 121.23 to himself by changing the signature line. 121.23 and 38.233 make almost identically worded edits, and then 121.23 attempts to add the same POV tag using the same undo action as that for which 38.233 was blocked. As for the geographical distance between the two IPs, any halfway clever tech can bounce off a couple of servers.
Additionally, WiccaWeb's only edit since 22 October (which was to erase a level 2 warning from his talk page ), was to respond to your closure of the sockpuppet case.
In short, there's no such thing as a coincidence.

Hey Rlevse, I just wanted to thank you for cutting User:Rorybowman a little slack and taking the time to explain things to him.

You recently blocked User:Scipo for 1 week for edit warring. But the user has returned this evening editing unlogged as 205.206.117.219. IP edits mirror the 'edit war' changes made by Scipo. The IP has been tagged previously as being a Scipo 'anon haunt'. 156.34.219.206 03:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It's gone to arbitration but the arbitrators seem disinterested/unaware of . Before I'm banned (potentially due to the actions of a sockpuppet) I'd like someone to make a ruling or make the arbitrators aware of it. A fair hearing is all I ask. -- Tezza1 (talk) 22:42, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't think so, they have ignored it without comment. I might be wrong, but I don't think they will even consider it now as if they do, and possibly find in the affirmative, they have banned me due to actions of a sock puppet or role account which instigated the arbitration proceedings. That will make the arbitrators look rather foolish.
Anyway, my thanks to you and the other investigator for taking the time to look into it. Tezza1 (talk) 13:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Considering that the edit war seems to have stopped over an hour ago (Martinphi and I are discussing and not reverting, which is highly unusual), might the PP on this article possibly be a bit counterproductive? --Philosophus T 00:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse,
I received a note from an indefinitely blocked user asking me to take a look at a block you performed on November 11th. I've seen the evidence, presented on Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Paul_venter, and it looks pretty convincing, but is there evidence that this account was used abusively (such as reverting to a previous account's version)? I see user:196.2.106.242 reverted to the other accounts' versions, but did this account? It looks like it didn't edit in the same time frame as the other accounts (so no checkuser possible). If this current account is the one being used, is there harm in blocking the old account and allowing this one to edit? There appear to be some good edits on organisms. I won't undo the work of another admin; I am just asking for clarification on your opinion about this account. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 00:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't mind the talk. I still feel as originally. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I see you blocked the "68" account too, so unless something new comes up, I think this is settled. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I received an email from Kww on the block. I'd like to shorten the block as a sign of good faith, I don't think he'll continue edit warring at this point. Let me know if this is agreeable to you. Thanks. Dreadstar † 02:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Rudget.talk 21:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for not going to SSP first, but this user has repeatedly created abusive socks to evade a block, and since it's pretty obvious, I figured I would come to you directly if this is okay. TA3M YM TA3 (talk · contribs) I feel is definitely a sock of Aladdin Zane (talk · contribs) whom you found as a sock of Rogue Gremlin (talk · contribs). Make edits to similar articles (Spring Thomas, porn related articles) but the biggest give away is this users insistence over at the D-Generation-X article over whether certain people were members or not. I won't drag you into that argument (this user is the only one insisting his side of the case anyway), but this users exact insistence and his contribs to similar articles, as well as trying to avoid the pitfalls on his user page that gave him away under Aladdin Zane leave no doubt in my mind. Thanks. Bmg916Speak 20:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to make a couple comments about this case that you just closed. One of the major points you made was that the 76 IPs were from Herndon VA. I initially misinterpreted that as well at first. That is the main address that shows up in the whois check for the IP address, however, it is the corporate headquarters postal address. RoadRunner is a provider available in nearly every state. If you will please check the traceroute for these two IPs, you will see that they in fact trace to southern California: 76.81.22.92 vln902.vnnyca2-rtr1.socal.rr.com and 76.81.204.238 vln902.vnnyca2-rtr1.socal.rr.com. I'm confident that checking the IP used by the two registered names, Dooyar and Onittles, will yield similar or identical IP locations to the 76.81 IPs. The 164 IP is the library at UCLA and the 209 IP is at the LA County Library.
The similarity in the edit summaries, coupled with the specific articles being edited, many of which are relatively obscure and have few editors, is compelling evidence. Because the edits have reverted, added and argued the same material, sometimes exactly, I can hardly see how there's little proof of a sockpuppet violation. Onittles was not used until after Dooyar had been blocked twice for being rude, disruptive and incivil. While disruption and incivility are grounds for other action, isn't it part and parcel of the problems with sockpuppetry, especially when it is continued?
This editor has worked nearly daily prior to the last week. I simply don't agree with reasoning that blocking should be passed up because the editor hasn't posted in a few days. It is a holiday week, during which a large number of people are away. I think that it should be revisited in light of the real locations of the other IPs and the pattern of editing. Diffs can be provided, but evidence in the histories alone is fairly clear to me. Thanks for your time. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for blocking those socks of LtWinters, but I believe another one has popped up: Thisissad54 (talk · contribs). He has replied to a question posed by another editor to LtWinters. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 11:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've blocked then unblocked beh-nam recently, he is vandalising pages so why are you not doing anything to stop him? I request that he be blocked indef due to his disruptive behaviour who is and has been vandalising pages after pages of national leaders by falesly inserting that they were child molestor, slave owner, facists, etc., He's been vandalising Pashtun people and many other articles for a very long time., ,
He keeps removing the official government website from Afghanistan/Hamid Karzai article and usually placing over it anti-Afghanistan blog sites, this after an administrator (Future Perfect at Sunrise) has warned not to mess with again. , If anyone adds images of popular Pashtun leaders in the Pashtun article he will revert the page right away, probably that he does not want Pashtuns to appear good in the eyes of others. He is ethnic Tajik, a Persian nationalist, and anti-Pashtun or Afghan as well as anti-Turk. He has an unusual extended block history which includes 2 indefs for which he was allowed back on condition to stop harrassing or personally attacking another ethnic group.
Same as all other vandals, he will never change and will continue with vandalising pages by writing all sorts of untrue things about leaders who are not from his ethnic group. He reverts everyone who fixes his vandalism without explaining anything. Beh-nam is working closely with a banned User:Tajik (who is hiding under anon IPs that start with 82.xx.xxx.xxx which is confirmed by several admins including User:Dmcdevit ) , , , and has User:Anoshirawan as his edit-war partner. He and his edit-war partner are going around changing the correct name Afghan (which is backed by the Constitution of Afghanistan, CIA world factbook, as well as all the government and media sites of the world) to a false afghanistani name simply because they like it. There is nothing that can be said to justify his actions, even if it comes from an administrator who knows him. Please ban this user indef so that the rest of us can have peace and finally fix all their vandalism slowly.--Hurooz (talk) 17:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
You've already concluded not to block the accounts, so I didn't give it as close a look as I normally would do. I can't say with certainty that sock puppetry is going on; the edits to articles unrelated to Bandidos have little in common. I think your decision to "wait and see" was the correct one. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 18:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I asked HPJoker about those edits a few days ago (and I have the complete conversations in Archive 3 of my talk page). He has said many times he lives in a hotel and some of those edits were definitely not him (while others were). I asked him about that vandal edit here, his response here. He also told me a few days ago he was going on vacation and would deal with this when he got back, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. jj137 (Talk) 22:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I am Behnam. I think you are familiar with my previous two block were you were mistaken and ended up apologizing to me because the user that accused me was a sockpuppet of a previous banned user (user: NisarKand/user: Dilbar Jan/etc). I am very sure that once again this user: Hurooz is another one of his sockpuppets, again he edits the same articles and again he tries to get me banned. If you don't believe that, then atleast let me explain all of these edits and you'll see that whoever reported this is manipulating you.
Conclusion, once again you banned me without proper investigation (this is the 3rd time). Now I have explained each of these edits and it's clear there is no reason for you to have banned me. Please unblock me or unblock my talk page so another admin can see my explanation. -- ~~ Behnam —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.19.171 (talk) 23:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I have only blocked you two times, not three. Any admin can see and read anything you've done--so yes they had every chance to see everything. I did not protect your talk page, someone else did. See my above entry of 23:25 too. You are not totally innocent in this or you wouldn't have the long block log that you do have nor have gotten your talk page protected; you even got indef blocked once and there are several admins who agree with me. What evidence you have that Hurooz is a sock? The whole root of this problem is that too many people who edit the articles you are interested in simply can't learn to get along with each other. Think about it. Finally, both sides of this topic you and Hurooz are in please go find another admin from now on. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Either way, you were wrong before and you are wrong to block me again. This user: Hurooz is a new user, he happened to appear right after the last confirmed sockpuppet of NisarKand was blocked (user: Dilbar Jan). I don't even know him and I've never had any disputes with him so I'm not sure what dipsutes your talking about... again you haven't even investigated. If this user is new and I've never even had a dispute with him... how is he so familiar with me, my block log, and my edits... aren't those enough clues for you to be suspicious?
What does my past block have to with this block? So are you telling me that I am being blocked for being blocked before!? This is ridicoulous. And I cannot find another admin, my talk page is blocked, so you will have to help me now since you blocked me in the first place without even looking at those edits. I have now explained them and you should be able to see that there was no reason to be blocked... so am I blocked for having a bad block log?

Thanks for going through it. I figured it be a case of SSP since the IP was doing vandalism, and the registered user making constructive edits. I'd just like to clarify one thing said by Jj137. You can find it typed several times between my as well as HP's talkpage. Actually, now that I think of it, I did put it in the report. I was concerned about the 'bugs' section in August, and lost interest soon after. The 'bait' came earlier this week. It's kind of long, but I did make a fair argument against HPJoker here. If you happen to get around to reading it, I'd like to maybe get some feedback. Thanks again.Socby19 (talk) 05:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for help about Justiceinwiki socks. I pushing my luck now but can you please delete 1 category in article because it is without question false. Problem is that I do not know how to delete category:Political parties in Croatia in article Ustaše. Right category for article is former political parties in Croatia (if this category exist) because they have been croatian version of Nazi party and I do not see in Nazi party article category Political parties in Germany. --Rjecina 08:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
User:MickWest is not a sockpuppet of User:Herd of Swine. A sockpuppet is an alternate account used deceptively. User:MickWest is an old account, active from May 2005 to April 2006, with 1259 edits. User:Herd of Swine has been active from April 2006 to the present with 850 edits. User:MickWest did make ten minor edits to non-contentious pages over two months ago (updates to pages User:MickWest had edited years ago), but there has been NO overlap with User:Herd of Swine since a few minor changes to Morgellons 18 months ago.
Also note Special:Contributions/Austrogoth, seems to have been created simply to make this accusation against me.
There is no sockpuppetry here. User:MickWest is essentially inactive, an abandoned account. I would appreciate your guidance in how I might clear my name here. I know I've not been banned, but I have the rather discrediting sockpuppetry accusation on my talk page, and also on the User:MickWest talk page, which I feel should be removed as unjustified.

Why did you block this user? He only recieved one warning. And his edits obviously aren't that bad, as one (of 2) haven't been reverted. I (talk) 03:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Upon being unblocked today, 25 November 2007, one of Beh-nam's first edits was in the article Tajiks where in the edit summary Beh-nam said "restored [from] vandalism by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/209.202.115.142)" which he did. But in the process he removed the edits that I and LeeMulod333 had made. Fixing the vandalism should have been simply changing the pop1 figure in the info box from 209.202.115.142's 6,315,129 back to 8,610,279. Beh-nam is an experienced editor and knows the effect of grabbing an old version, and ignoring the intermediate edits. Since my edit was more than four hours previous to Beh-nam's, Beh-nam must have seen it in order to (1) identify the vandalism as belonging to 209.202.115.142, and (2) select an earlier version to restore. He chose his last version, 11:16, 23 November 2007 Beh-nam, even though LeeMulod333's version was before the vandalism. Something is not right, and mere inattention does not seem to be it. Beh-nam was warned in his restoration, "I think a good start would be a commitment to discuss contentious edits before you make them and get consensus, to refrain from edit warring, and to source statements which a general reader would not know as common knowledge." Beh-nam replied in part: "Well another suggestion I would have for myself is to be more patient. I have a tendency to loose my patience and edit quickly. I think that's the main thing that might get me into edit wars sometimes." --Bejnar (talk) 03:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Bejnar, that was an accident on my part. I only meant to fix the vandalism on the numbers there which you failed to catch. -- Behnam (talk) 12:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Very funny that a user who's been banned dozens of times now (user: NisarKand) and keeps coming back with dozens of sockpuppets (such as user: Dilbar Jan, etc) is trying to get me banned with these accusations! LOL! You can go ahead and ask for my IP checked. We don't even live on the same continent. LOL! Speaking of checkuser, it's time for me to report this latest sockpuppet of yours. -- Behnam (talk) 12:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I was right about those images on those articles. The Admins on Commons confirmed they had false licenses and removed them. They were probably uploaded by an account of user: Sodaba(user:NisarKand) there. -- Behnam (talk) 12:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Likewise I have also violated the 1RR which I have also agreed upon. However, since Lahiru, initially banned and confirmed for sock, started his subsequent reverts before I have done so.

You may want to have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation#2006 Mannar massacre, which raises addresses both a content issue and a behavioural issue. I've commented on both, but my dispute resolution experience primarily involves article content, so I think you are more qualified than I (especially in light of your deeper involvement with the present SLR dispute resolution) to determine what type of action, if any, is required to address the behavioural issue.

Excuse me, there is some one calling (indirectly) other editors murderers who want eastern tamils dead as soon as possible.

So, thank you very much for your assistance. And is there anything else I need to do to follow up on this? I looked at the templates to place on user pages, etc, and it looks like they get put on by the blocking admin, so I left it alone. Let me know. Darkspots 22:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey dear, I wanted to let you know that Alison requested that I file a RFCU after I found a disturbing pattern, so I did, and no clerks were around to transclude it onto the page, but she was working on the case, so I went ahead and did that. I'm not stepping on any toes, I hope, and I did check with her to check it after I was done, so I did it right, lol. On an unrelated note, there is an entry for Daniel575, which for some reason will not link to the subpage, although I fixed the entry as the submitter did not put the time/date submitted info. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that the entry was submitted into a page that was previously closed, but it is something I'd be curious to know, once you get home if you have a chance to look at it, and see what is wrong.

As is the case with all the articles I have created, I would kindly ask you to keep an eye out on the new articles. Again thanks and cheers :) Watchdogb (talk) 23:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I read about you in Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/List_of_reviewers#Philosophy_and_religion, interested in "everything". Would you please review WP:GAN Shaktism? The article is about the Goddess oriented sect in Hinduism. Thanks.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 14:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
You closed my SSP case where I was trying to root out the master of EdChampion due to the master being an open proxy. This is over my head. Does that mean it is impoosible that the abusive blocked account is connected to the other three disruptive accounts? -- SECisek (talk) 18:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I changed it to a month. Seems reasonable to me. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
What Angus said is true. EdChampion is mostly just an obnixious pain on the talk page. I doubt even he really expects to ever see his proposed edit appear in the article at this point, he just wont give up. As for "sleuthing", there is no way that EdChampion belongs to an editor who made his first edit to Wikipedia last August and has exclusively edited Edmund the Martyr. The account belongs to a user with multiple accounts and given his attitude the last few months, he almost certainly has one or more blocked accounts. There is no reason not to connect the dots if we can. -- SECisek (talk) 03:59, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Obnoxious, vulgar, rude, and unneeded capitalization. It would also explain why my user page keeps getting vandalized by an IP that edits only hard rock and roll articles even though I have never once set foot into such territory. I still don't get why the master I proposed could not be connected to ol' Ed. Can you point me to a tutorial on open proxies, I want to read up them? Thank you for everything you do here. -- SECisek (talk) 04:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Not everyone has an account that only edits one article. It isn't like this guy is a model editor who has a POV disagreement with us. He may as well have chosen as his user name User:IattackEdmundtheMartyr. -- SECisek (talk) 23:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
As mentioned above, the Edmund the Martyr page has had very little (if any) IP vandalism so I don't know why it has been protected. Secisek's retaliatory motives become clear when you read . To address some of his detractions: there is a dispute on the talk page that has yet to be resoved. Consensus doesn't mean majority, particularly given the tiny number of editors. At the time of Secisek's writing the RfC was still on going and certainly hasn't resulted in going against me, rather it complements what I had previously written. I could go on but it's complete nonsense and I'm bored. EdChampion (talk) 18:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure this will be of interest: Category:Eagle Scouts has been undeleted per DR. — ERcheck (talk) 16:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
This is just to inform the closer of the CfD and DRV on the Eagle Scout catgegories that per a discussion at ScoutingWikiProject, there is a unanimous decision to get rid of this category, so I've just removed it from the articles therein and deleted the category. — Rlevse • Talk • 19:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I've left a ridiculously long comment, as you requested via email. My conclusion is that Evrik should not be blocked, but I cannot clear him of suspicion either. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 06:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Things haven't improved much since you unprotected the article back in November. I've tried by using the Dispute Resolution process and extensive talk page discussion to move things away from edit war mode. But the snail's pace of that approach doesn't seem to satisfy the passion of the edit warriors. Any help or advice you can lend would be appreciated. Dlabtot (talk) 17:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Civility states: "...Our Wikipedia community has by experience developed an informal hierarchy of core principles —the most important being that articles be written with a neutral point of view. After that we request a reasonable degree of civility towards others..." Note that the comments I made were factual and in response to a single purpose, anon advocacy editor's POV assertion that Maharishi deserves "...great deal of respect for what he has done and is still doing 24/7 since 1955 - to bring the peace of the Himalayas to all mankind". MMY's claims and TM's belief (see Yogic_flying) in a "Maharishi Effect" producing peace and harmony in surrounding areas and attempts to produce a cadre of yogic flyers ("...Proponents of Yogic Flying claim that world peace and many other social and environmental benefits can be generated by having at least seven thousand yogic flyers around the world hopping at the same time...") has not produced increased world peace and harmony or yogic flight as was predicted. Maharishi is not widely recognized as a scientist, a physicist, or as a key leader in the world peace movement outside of his organization either, TM is his claim to fame, just as I stated. It is hardly a personal attack to note that Wikipedia offering MMY a great deal of respect for his merely alleged efforts to "bring the peace of the Himalayas to all mankind" represents undue weight for fringe claims and a very minority opinion and that the editing history creates a reasonable conclusion of COI.--Dseer (talk) 02:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey Rlevse, thanks for contacting me over the admin coaching request. Yes, I had two other accounts, both you mention, but they were me older accounts or in other words, I had Radio_orange (dont ask:)) but was then renamed to Onnaghar and then once again renamed to Rudget. I'll create that sub-page now, and I once again want to say thank you for "taking me onboard". Regards, — Rudget Contributions 12:07, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
NisarKand was banned for a very good reason. He wrote several long racist rants to other users and admins. NisarKand also uploaded images with false licenses and also used fake referencing. Beh-nam on the other hand was banned for no good reason, he was falsely accused of proxy editing and banned for it but really it was just that user: Thatcher131 didn't like him because Beh-nam reported a friend of Thatcher131 for sockpuppetry which was confirmed. Considering this, Beh-nam shouldn't even be banned right now. And he has contacted ArbCom but his emails are ignored. What else can Beh-nam do?
Thank you for your comment. Broadway14122 is not my sockpuppet but I do agree that there is no chance the user is new to Wikipedia Alexfusco5 17:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand personally I am a long way off, both by edit count and experience, but I am wondering if you would be willing to give me some pointers and perhaps help me further my goal nearer an RfA.

Rlevse, you closed the report for a suspected sock at . As you know, RFCU returned a finding that the editor was not related to Nrcprm2026, which was always known to be a speculative identification of the puppet master. However, there is blatant and arguably abusive sock puppetry from the account behavior; the alleged sock has not denied being a sock, only being Nrcprm2026. Your comment was that the sock puppetry was "possible." I'd say the evidence shows "probable," indeed, I am unable to find any other explanation for the account behavior (immediate engagement in AfD within minutes of registration, SSP -- voting system issues only --, almost no content edits, very many AfDs and deletion/redirects). Given my so far uncontradicted conclusion that the account in question is a sock, and that the behavior is inappropriate for a sock, how should I proceed to obtain a determination on the issue of WP:SOCK violation rather than being a sock of a specific banned editor? From examination of other SSP incidents, I'd expected some determination on this for the original report. Should I go to WP:ANI? I'm trying not to escalate this beyond necessity, going one step at a time. Thanks. --Abd (talk) 18:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

The ulterior motives of various fringe-promoters are clear and have been documented in said arbcomm case. ScienceApologist (talk) 20:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth, any administrator (unless directly involved in the dispute himself or herself) has jurisdiction to enforce arbitration decisions, on his or her own initiative if necessary. There is no direct relation between the enforcement function and the clerking function, although it often happens that the same admins tend to handle both because they are the ones with their eyes on the arbitration pages and who are aware of the decisions as they come down. If an issue arises concerning an enforcement ruling, Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement will often be the best venue for gathering additional comments (although often there is usually a shortage of admins putting in time watching that board). Hope this is helpful to all. Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but this is very long, can you please see recent edits of User:Anoshirawan, he is a proven vandal, removing page protection (that admins placed) plus images from Afghan American article over and over. Why are his destructive actions ignored? It was already concluded not to change the word "Afghan" to "Afghanistani" in July 2007 (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 July 27#Afghan people) but Anoshirawan keeps on changing the name to fake "Afghanistani" as well as removing clean images from the article. Why are there images allowed at Italian Americans, Greek Americans, Iranian Americans, African Americans, and many others but he wants to only remove the imiages from Afghan American article. It's probably that administrators are afraid to block anoshirawan or probably they are supporting him to vandalis pages. Anoshirawan already has a long block log , shows that his character is not of a good editor, he should behave, he was also warned of his actions many times but he removed many of those warning from his talk page.
Next, on Ahmad Shah Durrani article, I've placed 4 major sources (including the CIA factbook and encyclopedia Britannica) as reference that Ahmad Shah Durrani is known as the founder or first Emir of modern Afghanistan. , , , (also see List of leaders of Afghanistan) This is very well known fact in Afghanistan as well as in all parts of the world. Anoshirawan claims that he was not all of that but a ruler of Khorasan, which is a province in Iran. This is like someone trying to say that George Washington was not the first President or founder of the United States but that he was a ruler of Washington or something like that. Anoshirawan is self POV pusher, not a nuetral editor like most of us. The things he claims don't make any sense to anyone that's why everyone is reverting his vandalism so that makes him upset. He also has a bad habit of removing images from the Ahmad Shah Durrani article, If you can also fully protect the Ahmad Shah Durrani article, that will help Anoshirawan go find another hobby instead of coming here vandalising pages. I believe Anoshirawan should be banned from editing, not a single of his edit is constructive, they are all vandalisms.Afghansuperior (talk) 02:27, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, regarding Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/121.45.39.83, as I said under "Comments" you have to check the deleted edits to see what the request-filer was talking about. However, I do think you were right to say "not much to do here" as it seems far more likely to be just an anon with a dynamic IP address than a case of abusive sockpuppetry. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 00:07, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
hi, so I read an old wikipedia article on the Kardashev Scale some of the old material was very interesting so I decided to read a little about it. When I came back, as a new user, I wanted to cite some source material that I read and found the material reverted. User:Michaelbusch reverted most of the material, and I spent some time reading and looking at what was reverted and I think I understand why. The reverted material was speculative, uncited in areas, and really bordering on psuedoscience. Despite that I feel the content has value, especially since I can now cite where the hypothetical futures content comes from. See Michaelbusch's(talk) page.
So the reason I'm contacting you... well I'm try to do this right, and apologize if I'm handling it incorrectly, please let me know if I am. What I did, was I looked at more of the history revisions, and left a message on User:Michaelbusch's talk page, and while on his user page read some of his other contributions and more about him.
He's very interested in factual and confirmable information, which I think is great. But I also think the entire wikipedia project is a work in progress.... especially concerning some of the fringe articles like the Kardashev scale. I think it's important that interest in fringe articles and wikipedia be encouraged. Bottom line... it's easy to delete... it's hard to add and contribute content, and it can be extra hard to do it correctly especially concerning articles like the Kardashev Scale. Personally, I rather have something slapped with a 'needs citations' or 'speculative' sticker than be deleted outright.
When I realized he'd already received a warning from you concerning his interactions with others, I became concerned that I would be blown over as a new user and that my wish to reinstate material would be ignored.... I do not want to be ignored, and I don't want to be blown over... I realize you must be busy, but if I could insert a third perspective into whatever changes, or compromises are going to be made on the Kardashev Scale I figured, I should do it now.--Sparkygravity (talk) 13:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
p.s. I wish to apologize for my over-use of the words especially and concern(ing).
By agreement, both User:Michaelbusch and myself have agreed to move the discussion of reinstatment to the Talk:Kardashev scale discussion page.--Sparkygravity (talk) 15:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

First of all, are you monitoring my contributions? If no, how the hell did you come across this edit? I have never seen you contribute at Talk:Homeopathy and a quick check of your contributions shows that you have never done so.
Secondly, can you cite, chapter and verse, what part of Wikipedia's civility guideline you are referring to with your comment about "incivil language"? While you're doing this, note that Wikipedia is not censored.
Thirdly, this is the second time you have popped over to my talkpage to make a nusiance of yourself. I have asked you before if you have anything against me and you evaded the quesiton. You are an administrator which means that you have the power to administer blocks when you deem necessary. I suggest that you take this as fair warning that I consider your attempts to offer "guidance" as tendentious and borderline harassment since the threat of blocking has been leveled by you before. I will not hesitate to bring this to the attention of others.
In short, I think you need to find another "project" with which to occupy your time.

hi, this is signof the times, i am not a "sockpuppet" of drdelos nor is he of mine. we both have interest in the same pages being taken care of properly, as opposed to NeonWhite who is bullying all of the pages for some bizarre reason as opposed to a million of the other pages he could be overseeing, he chooses to pick on 3 of them. DrDelos and I happen to care for the same pages, we are both moderators on the same board, and the bands that we are watching the pages for, have asked us to try and keep the vandals that keep changing them (ie NeonWhite) away. So we are both working for the same people, the people that that the pages are about, if that makes any sense, and are not sock puppets of each other, hence why we are the same team. Hope that explains it. sincerely, signofthetimes —Preceding unsigned comment added by SignOfTheTimes (talk • contribs) 00:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I got an email from one Alexander Makedon requesting he be unblocked. He's got two accounts; an old one with an unfortunately history that he decided to drop for the newer account, which has now been blocked indef for sockpuppetry. However, the old account has no edits since the creation of the new account. He said that you emailed him saying he would be unblocked shortly. I'm thinking that was, perhaps, the 48 hour block on the old account. Anyway, I don't see the sockpuppetry, but I could be missing something. I have to go to work soon, but maybe look it over?

I looked it over, and I think Atari400 is a sock puppet and should be blocked. I hope this is not just "groupthink." The evidence is strong enough because both editors show a pattern of incivility and edit-warring on specific topics.

FYI, a user you blocked is requesting unblock, please see User talk:Martinphi. Based on my reading of the arbcom case, he appears to be technically correct in his interpretation, although if he has been sufficiently disruptive to justify a block, he should be blocked regardless of the arbcom ruling. The arbcom enforcement page is too convoluted for me to follow - was there some disruption there? You may want to go a tad lower on both of them anyway - 72 hours is high for a first block for violating arbcom restrictions. --B (talk) 06:15, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
