Once each article in the list is dealt with, should it be removed? --Sam Blanning(talk) 13:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'd say yes, but it is not clear to me if this will interfere with ensuring that this list is complete and we catch everything. Kusma (討論) 13:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted articles
I know several of his onomastics articles went through AFD and were deleted (see my comments in the mediation and RFC about Roth). Some were userfied for him and some were not. Assuming that he did the same things with those as with the onomastics pages that still exist (i.e.; taking pre-existing stuff and redirecting, merging, etc. to create the onomastics page), shouldn't someone examine those actions and possibly clean them up also? Would the pages have to be un-deleted for that? Don't edits to deleted pages vanish from a user's contribution list? What should be done about those? ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 16:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think many pages have been deleted. If they have been, the incoming redirects surely have been deleted as well. It is probably not much harder to create new disambiguation pages from scratch where they are needed than to dig up all these pages and do the cleanup work. Kusma (討論) 19:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- The list that Interiot made is interesting. Just quickly glancing through it, I see that the first 106 spots on the list are empty; do you think maybe those are articles that were deleted? Or maybe a problem with the script that generated the list? If they are ones that were deleted, 106 articles isn't many when compared to the nearly 5,000 total articles he has edited, but it's still quite a few. Then also positions 3213-3235 on the list are all either AFDs or CFDs he has participated in, usually with comments to the effect that the article or category in question should be kept or moved to his user space.
[edit] Complete list
Interiot just created a list of all articles Sheynhertz has ever touched until about June 10, 2006. The list can be found here. There are 3300 pages and 2000 redirects that should be checked. Any good ideas how we should organize this other than split it in "packets" of 20-50 pages alphabetically and have someone adopt a packet and then certify that the packet has been checked? Kusma (討論) 19:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe copy the list to the project page and then people just pick one, check it, work on it, and leave notes on the project page as to what they are doing and when they are done they can
strike through the listing? ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 21:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC) - Since I have gotten so many already, it might be more efficient for me to do it. The pages that I have already gotten show up as followed links on the list of the pages he edited. Also, I have been using Microsoft Word to sort the list of pages and to add the brackets and asterisks automatically, which saves a ton of time. However, school is starting soon. I guess it depends how long it takes. I went through the "A"s pretty quickly. I stopped to work on a few pages, so it just seems like it took longer. I'll do some more later and try to estimate the time it would take me to do all of them. If I remember correctly, all of the pages that have "onomastics" in them have been added to the list already (I was working on it late at night about a week ago). The list is currently at 222 articles and I think it will get much larger. However, I have included disambiguation pages that obviously need work, as well, so he may not be responsible for all of it. It would not make sense to check the history of each page and make sure that he was the one who messed up the page. I have checked some of the histories, and he is responsible for the vast majority of them if my sample is any indication. -- Kjkolb 10:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Edits made by SU after June 10, like those from August 11 [1]] are not present in the Interiot's list. Pavel Vozenilek 19:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lists of Jews
He added many names to various lists of Jews and to their talk pages. For example, on List of Jewish historians he added one name, Victor Ehrenberg, who certainly should be there. Probably, he only put them in the lists when he was sure they were Jewish, otherwise into Talk. All these edits seem to be in good faith and sound, so it should be safe to accept them.--20.138.246.89 13:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Explain what we are doing
If somebody could explain to SU what we are doing here and why he is blocked, it would be great. I don't think he understands what I say, and I don't understand what he says, so I have given up talking to him. Maybe someone else could watchlist his talk page and talk to him a bit? Kusma (討論) 08:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- He seems to be completely incapable of communicating normally with other users, even in his native Japanese. This suggests some sort of mental/emotional disorder, although I'm by no means a psychologist. Perhaps a psychiatric professional could review his talk page and archives and make suggestions.

[edit] Biography stubs
The biography stubs that SU created are not on the list, although I guess most of them are linked to the disambig. pages. The bio's suffer from many of the same issues that the disambig. pages do, and many of them should be deleted because of notability considerations. —Batamtig 15:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Japanese interwiki links
SU's articles often contain non-existent interwiki link. For those pointing into Japanese Wiki something always exist but it may be an error page or just something about Sheynhertz-Unbayg. I do not have proper fonts see how the page looks but the texts do not contain names in Latin script which one would expect them.
An example is Wilhelm Tomaschek (non-existent German and Czech links, suspicious Japanese link). Pavel Vozenilek 22:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- It went to an empty page. You should be able to tell from the red link at the top left (for "article"). Kusma (討論) 15:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of Slavic surnames
I recommend to delete this list after all other items by SU get cleaned out (it is good now to spot SU's articles). The content is abitrary: for example the second most frequent Czech surname Novotný is missing or Kovář (6th) more. OTOH Erben is infrequent and unusual and likely of German origin. I have doubt the rest of the list fares better. Pavel Vozenilek 22:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prod'ed articles
Hi, I prodded a few of SU's onomastics articles earlier this evening before noticing you were working on this project. They'll be listed on [2]. Do you want the prod removed in order to do cleanup, or shall I leave them to be deleted? DWaterson 23:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sockpuppets
Although I have blocked SU's main internet provider (see User:Kusma/Sheynhertz for a list of blocked ranges), he sometimes edits from different IPs and creates sockpuppet accounts there. So it is a good idea to watch pages you have cleaned up. If he reverts you, you can report him at WP:ANI and request the sock to be blocked. Kusma (討論) 16:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Subst'ing signature
At User:Sheynhertz-Unbayg/sig is located the signature of blocked user Sheynhertz-Unbayg. He won't be needing it anymore, can we subst: the template and delete it afterwards? Punkmorten 12:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
