[edit] Your RfA

I readily understand that one might be upset over his encountering strident opposition at his RfA, especially where he thinks such opposition to be without merit or improperly to focus on insignificant edits that tend to present an inaccurate picture of him, and I even understand that one might react viscerally upon his appreciating that his RfA will not succeed, but I think this to be bad form; not only, to be sure, is it less-than-civil, but it also impugns the reasoning skills and good faith of those opposing, none of whom seems to have opposed vengefully. I sincerely hope that such withdrawal was offered in exhaustion and with, as many of your other (quite fine) communications, a humorous undertone; if not, you've served only to bear out that those those who were concerned about your ability to be cordial and other-than-abrupt in your dealings with other editors (amongst which number I tended to count myself) were correct. Joe 19:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I feel I made the right decision opposing you RfA, especially after you outburst at the end saying frak you all. In regard to the, since when is anyone punished for an accident 2 weeks after? remark you made, well... In my RfA, I had an incident 2 months before & was denied becasue of it. However, if you keep a clean sheet for the next few months, you should have no trouble making it, as comments made after a stressful RfA are always understandable. More so than an outburst from nowhere. Please stay civil & cheer up. Don't leave Wikipedia or anything either. As an admin once told me; If an admin leaves, anybody can delete an article etc. However, if an editor or writer leaves, it makes a bigger impact. So hang in there & stay cool whlst waiting for your next RfA... :) Spawn Man 04:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support at RFA

I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me, and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis 22:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting Your Help to stop vandal

There is a malicious WIKIPEDIA vandal named Rolan Rance, operating under user name RolandR, who has been posting and reposting false and libelous information on a number of Wikipedia pages, including the articles on David Bukay, Steven Plaut, and a few others. He then has requested page protection to prevent other sfrom correcting and repairing his vandalism.

Please do something to put a stop to his malicious mischief.

Thank you

Josef Szamuels

The information is neither false nor libellous. It is true and fully referenced. The pages have been protected, not in order to prevent genuine editing by editors with differing views and interpretations, but to prevent unidentified individuals from opening new accounts, and then immediately using these pages to post offensive and libellous comments attacking me. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive148#Repeated personal attacks for details. This complaint seems to come from another in the long string of attack accounts set up in order to protect Plaut and Bukay, and to traduce me. --RolandR 12:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I've reviewed the situation, watched the page, and warned both users for 3RR. Any 3RR after this point will get you blocked, and editwarring without violating 3RR will just hurt your position. ST47Talk 20:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

The problem with this attempted even-handedness is that I have been restoring properly sourced information, which is being repeatedly renoved -- without any discussion -- by an account apparently set up purely for the purpose of editing this article. Steven Plaut was semi-protected after new accounts were set up, with the apparent purpose of merely editing this article, and adding personal abuse. As soon as the semi-protection was lifted, a new account was set up, which was used to revert the article three times, and to complain about me after my first reversion. --RolandR 01:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Then you may have abusive sockpuppets. You can visit WP:RFCU to confirm that they are the same person, then visit WP:AN/I to report it and get a block in place. I'd say that the RFCU is code C, based on the table. If I had the names and everything, I'd file it for you, but it seems like you know what's going on more than I. ST47Talk 01:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I looked at the history and filed a request at WP:RFCU ST47Talk 01:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I made such a request some weeks ago, still unanswered, at WP:RFCU#Fumigate. This has many more Userids and IPs than you list. I tried to add info to your request at WP:RFCU#Szamuels, but there seems to be a problem with the section edit tag, and I'm unable to open that section for editing. But my earlier request is still on the page.--RolandR 10:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Roland Rance is a malicious liar and vandal. He vandalizes wikipedia pages on Zionists. He simply inserted malicious libelous material on the basis of an unsupported assertion by David Newman, Neve Gordon's crony and sidekick, which Newman inserted in a Tikkun article. Tikkun is not a source anyone would consider authoritative nor serious. The judg ein th ecase in question herself dismissed Newman's statement as baseless. In Newman's Tikkun article, he had no evidence nor factual supports to back up his assertion. It was simply what he thought. Rance has been inserting this in th eweb page as an internet prank.

[edit] CFD removals

Greetings. I noticed that, after your bot removed Category:Fictional heroines from pages, they were not being removed from redirects. I've cleaned (actually in the process of) this cat from redirects, but is there a way to catch these in the future, or is it an intrinsic error of the wiki code? Cheers! -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 04:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, my bot's an idiot like that. I'll send it throuth those again and have it remove from the redirect pages, thanks for letting me know! ST47Talk 11:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CFD (NZ soccer)

Hi - I notice a glitches with your STbot - it seems to have removed categories from articles affected by the proposed change in the names of New Zealand soccer categories (from football to soccer), but not replaced new categories (Chatham Cup is one example). Also for some reason (possibly related and almost certainly piping) Cat:New Zealand football clubs seems to be in a completely haphazard order. Grutness...wha? 20:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Shit. I'm not sure why, though I will fix the categories properly using an old database dump. Thanks for telling me. ST47Talk 20:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

as for the order, there isn't a single reason why it should be doing that :S ST47Talk 19:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 24.72.1.39 edit abuse.

Hello!

I just noticed that 24.72.1.39 again had an interesting run-in with Wikipedia staff and I thought I'd try my best to rectify the situation...

24.72.1.39 is actually a public highschool of some 600 unmonitored, public computers behind a centralized NAT server, meaning vandalism from this range is all but inevitable. Its user page actually contains edits that I made, recommending that it be permanently blocked (complete with weather information) but nobody saw it initially.

It should also be apparent on 24.72.1.39's user page how I know this, I go to that school, and thats where I edited the userpage from!

Im not sure of the criteria for permanently blocking an address from editing, but I suggest you strongly consider this one. Its a static IP address, as the provider for their internet service is the same I use (a Shaw-based corporation in the local area).

[edit] Subst'ing {{wc}} et. al

Thanks for doing these. It seems some of the uses are {{WC}} rather than {{wc}}. I've also spotted another template in the area that could do with subst'ing (same thing - the whole "template masquerading as article content" thing). I'll dig a little deeper to catch a fuller list that will come back here in the first instance, and back to WP:BOTREQ if you're not up for it. Chris cheese whine 22:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Just list templates here, I'm allowed to do any now that it's approved, as for the capitals, i can run through again, though it was supposed to be case insensitive. I'll check. Thanks! ST47Talk 00:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism? Me?

User talk:72.138.173.193 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

You have made an edit that could be regarded as defamatory. Please do not restore this material to the article or its talk page. If you do, you may be blocked for disruption. See the blocking policy.Pascal.Tesson 04:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Sports drink, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. ST47Talk 19:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I have recieved this message on two occaisons and found them to be useless and offensive. Upon trying to edit pages for clarity, as was the case on the Laxatives page, changing "more for ladies" to "feminine" and trying to fix a link on the Sports Drink page (Mountain Dew AMP) I was told I was vandalising these pages. Why is this, and what can I do to stop it? I am not a vandal, and I have made many edits before that, in my view, have helped the Wikipedia project along.
