Sockpuppetry...Maybe?

Just a heads up on the sockpuppetry issue again. Although not blantantly obvious (at least as of yet), I suspect that the recently-created account Ps3queen might be another puppet of you know who. The first edits made by this user seem to deal with creating a bunch of pages for episodes that haven't aired in both English and Japanese yet, with attention to the images again, then posting the links to those pages over the Japanese titles on the episode list. While it isn't 100%, this sort of activity was undertaken by Bobabobabo before, and I think it would be wise to investigate into it just in case.

Edit: Just let me say this; it seems very strange that a new user account would just pop up overnight and suddenly begin editing in a manner such as this (and in such a linear fashion as well, going from one episode to another). --Benten 01:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I haven't seen pictures from the user yet. When I do, I will seek out a block.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 07:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Just a heads up

It seems as if something is causing your ARV 2.1 to convert spaces to "+" in usernames. See here. Gzkn 07:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

It's when I report them from their contribs linked from an articles history instead of their Special:Contributions page.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 07:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah gotcha. Gzkn 07:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Just looked at your user page. You can add it to the trophy cabinet. Viridae^Talk 07:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Ewssngd

Hi Ryulong - could you engage Ewssngd on their talk page before recommending that the user is blocked? May be just a misunderstanding, so blocking would be a rather drastic approach. If continues to vandalise despite warnings, please update vandalism page, as per the normal wikipedia policy. Thx. --Oscarthecat 10:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Susanfg

Hi. I removed this report from AIAV, because it seems that you are raising this as a sockpuppet rather than a vandal (at least I didn't see any clear vandalism). Can I please suggest that you raise this at WP:SSP instead? Cheers TigerShark 19:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

RfAR

Are you sure this is necessary or appropriate? His contributions don't look so bad, in the talk pages and article you mentioned. Nothing like a RfAR... is there something else in talk pages? Georgewilliamherbert 06:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

My apologies. You didn't initiate this; he did, and made it look like you did. Bad, bad GreenNinja (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log)... Georgewilliamherbert 06:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Twas a digression, and Wikipedia is not censored :P—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 21:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Pavel Novotony's picture

Wikipedia is not censored. Thank you for your time.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 09:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Good point! I may cite: "do not violate [...] the law of the U.S. state of Florida" Thank you for your -eh- -ah- time... --Homer Landskirty 10:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Still, you can just find a better picture or just have cropped it so his upper body was solely showing, but the leaves were too much.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 10:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I did not want to crop it, since -ah- my grandfather, who was a tailor, had to do that in WW2... I respect your opinion about the "vine leafs being too much" -eh- even though it smells (esp. in combination with ur pavel-related revert) like censoring my contribution (without any good reason, I might add)... Of course I never was checking it out, but I am quite sure, u would get the attention of the police if u present an erection in public in Florida like "Pavel". --Homer Landskirty 10:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

First of all, I'm not being a perv here, but there is nothing wrong with that image or its legality on Wikipedia. There are no free alternatives for a porn star and it is not covered by any sort of indecent exposure law in Florida or anywhere else. Have you seen penis or vagina? Please cease your censoring of Wikipedia, as it is not kid-friendly in many places.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 10:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I was advised not to expose my chest in closed community rooms (like restaurant), when I was the first time in Florida. I can see the shape of a penis, which is suspicious enough for me... Furthermore I dont care and I am not the one who wants to delete that picture from Wikipedia (see its history). --Homer Landskirty 10:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

All of that is irrelevant. Pictures on Wikipedia are not covered by Florida law. We can have pictures of naked men or women on Wikipedia, when it is forbidden to do so in real life in whatever place it is. Similarly, the deletion of the picture has nothing to do with it now. It was useless to cover up what is already covered up, even if you can see an outline.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 10:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

All of that is true except the part about there being "no free alternatives for a porn star". Porn stars, like other celebrities, make public appearances where they can be photographed. Please read WP:FU and note Counterexample #8: images being used to show what living people look like are not covered by Wikipedia's fair use policy. Therefore I am reverting your removal of the "replaceable" tag from Image:Pavel.jpg. —Angr 10:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It is extremely difficult to find a free alternative for this person's image. Nearly every porn star's article has a fair use image on it. This one is no different.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 11:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Nearly every celebrity's article (porn star or otherwise) needs to be cleared of fair-use images because they violate Wikipedia policy. This one is no different. —Angr 11:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Then a free alternative should be found before we delete it.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 11:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

That would be great, but it isn't required. Fair use criterion #1 says "No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information." The fact that no free equivalent has yet been found is irrelevant. The image already violates Wikipedia policy, even before a free equivalent has been found or created. —Angr 11:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Would a DVD cover suffice, then? I'm sure I can find one somewhere.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 11:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

No, DVD covers are also copyrighted. The best way to get a free image of a celebrity is either (1) find out where they're next going to appear in public, find a Wikipedian who lives nearby, and get them to take a picture, or (2) write to the celeb's agency and ask them to release a publicity image under a free license (GFDL, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA). They should e-mail a copy their agreement to these terms to permissions@wikimedia.org. —Angr 11:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

All right then.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 11:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh

Oh yeah sure, I think the signature template is the best solution. but I'm new for here, could you help me on this? I will appreciate it.  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 20:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

ha ha ha no no i'll choose that subspace thing. thanx man. oh b4 that, once i gave you a "The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar" for reverting my vandalized userpage. Thanx again for that.  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 20:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Much better.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 20:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

When you are reporting to the AIV you are using this tag {{IPVandal}} or just report through ARV? coz seems ARV become annoying to admins if we are report through ARV.[1] Whats your solution? ♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 21:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It's probably just something a bit off with the script for you. I do use ARV, but 2.1.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 21:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, by someone else

Thank you for the information. I am not sure if I should remove it or not. Now it will be easier. MythSearcher^talk 09:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Tennis performance timeline comparison (women)

I removed the speedy deletion tag [2]. If you disagree with me, let me know. enochlau (talk) 02:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this raises an interesting question, and I've asked other administrators to comment on WP:AN (search for the article's name as the section title). enochlau (talk) 07:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert and the vandal count update. :) -WarthogDemon 08:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

IRC

My primary IRC username is Ryulong, and the cloak I would like is wikimedia/Ryulong.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 23:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Tennislover

In this edit, you implied that Tennislover is a confirmed sockpuppet of Cute 1 4 u. My understanding is that this has not been established by a checkuser. Certainly, I've suspected this but all of my investigations into the matter have shown that this is actually unlikely and so I currently believe they are two independent accounts. I see that you subsequently reverted this claim. However, another admin blocked the user as a sockpuppet. Could you please follow up with an explanation of what happened? Thanks. --Yamla 23:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Dmcdevit did a checkuser on a user who was suspected to be Cute 1 4 u, which was User:Tennislover, based off of known information about the IPs she had used when she was initially banned. User:Tennis expert (from what I can glean from the information provided to me by Dmcdevit) was also on the same range when compared against the IPs. Additionally, User:Twister Twist was also involved on these IPs.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 23:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

You said: "Tennislover's IP was tested against known IPs utilized by Cute 1 4 u. They matched. Larger explanation at my talk."

Dmcdevit said: "Correct. There were suspicions; it sounds like you had them too. And a checkuser verified the identity: I wouldn't have blocked without it. (You said "I'd welcome any evidence you have that this is a sock" so I'm thinking maybe you didn't realize that...?) In any case, I'm very convinced."

Okay, thanks you two. The checkuser page at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Cute 1 4 u made no mention of this check and so I was just making sure that a checkuser really had been performed and that this wasn't just a situation where someone jumped the gun. You've certainly convinced me. Now, if only there was some way to stop future sockpuppets which we know are going to be created. --Yamla 23:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Period at the end of formula

Hi. I undid your removal of periods at the end of formulas. Per the math style manual and established mathematical practice, if a formula is at the end of a sentence, it should have a period. This is a minor style issue, but I thought I'd let you know about it. You can reply here if you have comments. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

Hey Ryulong, I've found definitive evidence of Ps3queen being one of you know who's sockpuppets. If you look at this recent post on Janime forums, you'll see that Bobabobabo, who has long been using the username "Yugigx60" (an exact reflection of the Yugigx60 sockpuppet that is currently banned), is yelling at Horoko (a main translator for GX-related matters) for "not being able to translate properly"; compare the statement there to the recent edit that Ps3queen made to the media and release page of "incorrect translation for 絶体絶命 - In a Tight Spot - ピンチに陥って", and it becomes obvious that it's Bobabobabo. Also, note the same interests of Pokemon and GX images that she has in her signature space (look familiar to Bobabobabo's old user page?)

http://janime.eu/showthread.php?t=15680

--Benten 00:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit: One more thing that makes it obvious: The user's avatar is made up of some of the same images that were removed from the media and release article. --Benten 01:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit 2: Oh, I also just received a PM from the user on Janime as well, in defense of the sockpuppet suspicion. As you can see, this user is very thorough on the "stolen names from bulbapedia," giving me an entire list. Clearly, of course, how this user is even so aware of these sorts of abuse by Bobabobabo seals all doubt that this is another sockpuppet. With the exception of my signature at the bottom, all the information below was provided by the user at Janime.

I am not a sock puppet to you know, besides the account on the Janime forums account being similar to another account to you know, he stole that name.

He has recently been doing similar stuff on Bulbapedia, where he stole exsiting user names

Note

Just a note. It is nice if you acknowlege receving a message, or even replying to it, rather than archving it with no comment. In either case, I hope my point about not removing the period at the end of formulas went through. Thanks. You can reply here if you have any comments. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I honestly didn't think it was that important. I removed the periods, thinking they were placed incorrectly, and you corrected me about it, and I thought to myself "Okay, makes sense."—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 02:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Power Rangers Dino Thunder

Hi thanks for reverting the vandalism to Power Rangers Dino Thunder just so you know I was also planning to revert the vandalism myself and just so you know the same user also Vandalized the Power Rangers S.P.D. page but a I.P. took care of some of it and I handled the rest. One last thing that I think you should know is I took a look at the edit history of the one who did the vandalism and found out out of all the edits that user had done are in fact vandalism edits. -Adv193 20:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Ggnext's behavior

Yah, it's WP:POINT, but what harm in leaving the comments? It is somewhat of a double standard that articles on other major forums are allowed to remain when GenMay's article was deleted. I agree with removing the article tag because the action is so unilateral, but surely talk page discussion on its notability would be productive. Sorry to clash with you here. – Lantoka (talk) 21:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Because he'd get shot down immediately by any sort of normal editor to the page, and that would be feeding in the case for both websites.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 21:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I dunno man. Personally, I'd be pretty mad if I tried to start a deletion discussion on a talk page and somebody reverted it. In general I'm against outright removing comments, even inane ones. However, I do concede the point that he's trolling because the GenMay article was deleted, as evidenced by his edit history. So I'll leave it at that. – Lantoka (talk) 21:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, he'd probably be flamed by every /b/tard at Talk:4chan and whatever they call people at Something Awful at Talk:Something Awful.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 22:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Yah man, you're right. My apologies for reverting your edits. Coming straight to your talk page would have been more productive. Thanks for not taking too much offense. ;) – Lantoka (talk) 22:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 22:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Merging monsters and villains

I'm not quite sure how or why villains and monsters get their own pages. Having a big major villain is notable; a list of monsters, the majority of whom usually only appear in one episode, is really not. I mean, there isn't any information about bit characters - stuff like Ben (Madison's new friend in MF), Kelsey's (from LSR) astronut friend, etc. Do you support the idea to merge monster and demon articles into villain articles? I.e. merging List of demons in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue into Villains in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue. Hbdragon88 02:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Similiarly (but separately), the Villains in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers article looks kinda weird without Rita, Zedd, et. al. in the article. I don't know if I'm necessarily for shoving Rita, Zedd, et. al. into that article, but perhaps Goldar, et. al. would be better off in the monster articles? Just food for thought. JPG-GR 05:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Monsters genreally have a list. Villains seem to get their own articles (Rita and Zedd do), and there is a Minor Power Rangers characters page somewhere.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 05:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Spirulina

Hi Ryulong -- The spirulina (food supplement) name is absolutely necessary for disambiguation. See the talk page on that topic. Please revert your changes, thanks. Perdita 04:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

There are no other "Spirulina" pages. It's unnecessary disambiguation.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 05:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Not trying to be rude, but I'm wondering if you missed the point -- the food supplement actually has nothing to do with the genera "Spirulina." At some point someone will want to make a page on that unrelated Genera, and they ought to have the name since the food supplement's name is a misnomer. I'd be willing to start the other page if that would make a difference. Perdita 18:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Just created an article...

Could you do me a favor and check if Unsui Manaka has an interwiki in ja? Thx Patstuart^talk|edits 05:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
