[edit] Bit of Bonny

I think a little bit of Bonny: User: 202.54.242.186 and User: 125.178.86.75. Zello 16:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

and User: 203.101.12.30 is also him. Zello 17:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Wumbo

Another thing he's doing is messing with Pope Benedict XVI and with Template:Popes, foisting some cockamamie legend about a future Pope called Petrus Romanus. Since you blocked him before, maybe you could do it again. Wahkeenah 01:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Open proxies

Thanks for your help. BTW, on Satu Mare and Oradea, Anonimu is in gross violation of the 3RR. There's a backlog at WP:AN/3RR - could you block him? —Khoikhoi 10:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Wow, thanks a million. I'm going to get some sleep now. спокойной ночи! BTW, is Готтенто́ты "Hottentot" in Russian and кой-коин "Khoikhoi"? —Khoikhoi 11:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Have a good night. Готтентоты are plural, the singular will be готтентот (male) ок готтентотка (female). I never saw the word кой-коин in Russian before, but I guess Ru-Wiki is right. Thanks for the explanation, I actually did not know where your nick came from abakharev 11:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Edit Here

Alex, I could not get to those comments about the Georgian alias of Bonaparte (he also wrote in Chechnya) and noticed here that the link to archive 8 did not work. That was caused by a simple typo, which I corrected. I hope you are not offended, as it was done in good faith. Feel free to delete these words here of mine. I felt I had to explain, though. --Pan Gerwazy 12:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• Pan, thanks a lot! It is the second time I do the same error in formatting the refs to the archive. The previous was for the Archive7, I should be more careful abakharev 01:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:UsernameBlockedEmail

Where does it say this is against policy? Why should it be prohibited? —Centrx→talk • 18:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• WP:USERNAME#Inappropriate_usernames. I see a few reasons:
  1. By having an email username the email becomes an instant target for spammers, it might be used to create problem for other people
  2. Email username can be used to pretend to be somebody else. I guess there are many Alex Bakharevs on internet but only one Alex_Bakharev@gmail.com
  3. Email username can be used for spam and advertisements. E.g. john@inkcartrige.com is an advertisement for both inkcartrige.com and for john as a sales rep, nickname zanuda@livejournal.com is an advertisement for the correspondent blog and for the site livejournal, etc.
  4. Email as a username is usually long and ugly abakharev 01:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Understandable, but most of them are the true person with that e-mail and isn't advertising. Anyway, the reason I noticed this is because I saw one person who moved their account (username changing) after getting a {{WelcomeEmail}}, and then right after someone who was just summarily blocked who, if they hadn't received a scare-off message could have become a productive contributor. —Centrx→talk • 02:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• I stopped patrolling of email usernames, there are just to many of them, it is a job for a bot not a human being. I am for the changes in the software, that would not allow symbols "@" and "." in the username as well as non-ASCII symbols abakharev 02:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deville's RfA

Hello, Alex, and thank you for the support and flattering comments on my recent RfA. The final tally was 72/1/0, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I'll be tentative with the new buttons for a while, and certainly welcome any and all feedback on how I might be able to use them to help the project. All the best, and thanks again! — Deville (Talk) 01:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Alex Bakharev for your Support! II feel truly humbled & honored by your support in my RfA, which closed at 90 / 5 / 0. Thank you! If you need me for anything, just say the word. For now however, just like Mr Potter here: My mop & I shall thwart all evil :) IThank you once again my friend. GIen

Kurt is back from his block, and the first thing he did was to start a nasty revert war on Benito Mussolini. Sigh... -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 14:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert war in Pluto

Hi! Can you please take a look at an incident in Pluto. The User:Ryulong violated 3RR in this article in spite I warned him before his last edit. I have reported the 3RR violation here:[1], but It doesen't work and it seems that an admin sided with other party. Can you please take an attention on the suject?--Nixer 11:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

This user appears to have something against me now. Please see the discussion this user has started at WP:ANI about this same situation. Ryūlóng 11:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Alex, I'm the admin involved. Please see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Revert_war_in_Pluto for links to relevant discussions and background. Feel free to contribute, but this is a bit of a storm in a teacup now that the revert warring has stopped. Cheers. --Cactus.man ✍ 11:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Revert warring has not stopped as the party violated the rules still keeps their owen version of the article.--Nixer 11:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Cactus.man, see my message on WP:AN/I abakharev 12:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The RFPP disruption block

I can see that you had blocked this range for 8 hours. However, the vandalism and disruption that comes from this range has gone on for the past few days because of the protection of Paul Skalic, in which this user's original IP was in an edit war, and he has gone and vandalized many other pages. I may be wrong, but this range may require a lengthier block. Ryūlóng 10:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Let's see in 8 hours abakharev 10:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I really, really (!) don't appreciate censorship

You would be much more efective when you'll be ready to listen for once what I have to say concerning Skalic!

Just read this text under, and remove injust "protection" of Paul Skalic article

Paul Skalić

An Stbalbach user from believse Paul Skalic's nationality is controversal, although many distinctive slavists, linguists, croatists and other scientists think differently! Those "authoritative sources" mentioned by Stbalbach are Britannica and Encarta- but he is missing to point that these facts are actually very outdated hence there is, at least one very serious scientific work ( of mr. Zubrinic) that corroborate that Skalic is, in fact, really Croat. Also there is confirmation of Croatian Ministry of Science and Technology of that fact. On the end, I really don't know which "number of other editors" think same as he is. As I have seen, there was many controversy about this kind of text even before, so I think that you should remove this protection hence it is really unnecessary. It is only a new contribution to the evil blood between various editors, and not to mention that it seems that this looks like a censorship! If info. provided in the text is true/objective it would survive, if not... but that's the spirit of W.

[edit] ALEX, you really, really have a nice personal page..... ;)

Be nice and cool

[edit] Hello

Hi Alex! Could you please block that IP 144.122.30.134

[edit] Pahlen

Thank you so much. That is definately him (in the meantime, I had managed to find a site that gave "F.P." as his initials). I will add the info about him in Wallachia-Moldavia to your article.

Your info on Novorossia could be accurate, given that the status of the two countries did not change until they adopted the Organic statute in 1831; however, it may be that they simply had "militarily occupied" status, pending a decision of their future regime (the sources I read point out that Russia kept an administration in Romania and over Silistra as a mortgage, to ensure the payment of debts by the Ottomans).

[edit] Move Request

Hello there; I just made a mistake attempting to complete a move request. I was on talk page reviewing a move request and decided to fulfill it. However, I clicked the [move] tab on the talk page and typed in the article (forgetting that would move the talk page into the article space). Since you appear to be an admin online right now, could you correct the mistake (perhaps moving the talk page back to talk space, deleting the redirect page, and moving the article to the new name). The attempted move was Serious Sam Enemy biographies → List of enemies in Serious Sam. Thanks in advance. -- tariqabjotu 01:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Kurt Leyman

Violated 3RR on Battle of Berlin today - 4 reverts within 24 hours including three today. I made a note on his talk page. I think you may have been the last admin to block him for this violation. DMorpheus 03:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• I have blocked him for one month since it is not the only article he violated 3RR on as well because of his history of disruptive edits and 3RR violations abakharev 03:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (comment)

I know I ask you for a crap-load of favors, however (:p), could you protect the Kardzhali article? Some user called Valkov has been removing the Turkish name for months now, although the city has a Turkish majority, and because of that, Turkish has special status there. I have tried to contact Valkov but to no avail. Therefore, I think full protection would be the best option now.

Thanks again Alex. Please let me know if there's any favors you need from me. —Khoikhoi 00:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Just once I decided not to follow your advise. It does not seems right to protect an article because of one POV-pusher. If he will continue blanking, I will block him for vandalism abakharev 00:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I see what you mean. Thanks. BTW, did you notice the two latest Bonny socks? Jayjg got him this time. —Khoikhoi 00:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disruptive user

I was wondering if I can have your opinion on the disrputive user here. Couple of weeks back, one of his articles was deleted because of NOR and POV and possible copy right violation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=72737054

He also broke the 3RR rule and I am wondering why no action has yet to be taken against him.

Thanks for the help. You seem to know Slavic history well. Here is some bogus theories from barefact's website [5]. He is trying to insert his nationalistic false information and polemics in different wikipedia pages.--alidoostzadeh 23:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, his off-wiki theories are his business, unless he is trying to bring them to wikipedia abakharev 01:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alkonost

I was recently editing this article which you mostly wrote and some of it seemed to be identical to this article (listed as a source from the first edit.) You seem have added to the article line by line over a few days yet the linked article claims not to have changed since 1998. Can you shed any light on what happened here, please? Thanks --Cherry blossom tree 22:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

It was one of my first articles (I started wikiediting in June 2005 and the Alkonost is of July), inspired by the Viktor Vasnetsov article. That is why I worked slowly. The Encyclopedia Mythica article was one of the sources of the Alkonost. I was trying to retell it rather than copy-paste, but after looking back it appears that I could do a better job in it. Thanks for the rewording abakharev 01:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I was just curious, that's all. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 18:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aircea

I think User: Aircea is Bonny again. He was blocked for 24 hours because of disruptive behaviour by another admin (Slovakization article). He created sockpuppet tags and put up on other user's page without checkuser evidence. I think that's unacceptable. If there are real sockpuppets among Hungarian users then we need to block them after the right process was done. But until that this kind of accusations are really harmful. You can see on User: Juro's talk page that by now almost EVERY Hungarian user was charged with sockpuppetry. If you can do something to clear of the situation that would be really great.

[edit] My 3rr

My apologies for 3rr, definitely not intentional slip. I was discussing the subject for 2 weeks and had warned that if the contender(s) would not bring verifiable proofs, I would restore the contents to their original shape. I would surely appreciate any advice. Barefact 21:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to the moderator to write here. But you don't seem to understand that you can't cut & paste Original research from your site www.turkicworld.org when you also know it is rejected universally by scholars (per your own admission). That is wikipedia has a NOR policy. As per your quote in Scythian, the user codex took it and we actually fixed it in [agathyrsi]. Note Agathyrsi is not related to Scythians by most accounts and neither is akatziri related to agathyrsi or khazars by modern scholars. So I recommend any insertion should be discussed (and of course sourced by factual modern western materials). --alidoostzadeh 00:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear Alex, Please take a look here [6]. Barefact is again conducting OR. Also there exists an article with this title already and this here: [7]. He does not have any verfiable statements and I have shown many of his quotes have been forgeries. Either way he needs to make his statements in Massagetes article which already exist. --alidoostzadeh 08:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I think we need to merge the articles. It might be sort of a heated debate, but we need to settle what data are backed by WP:RS and which are not. abakharev 09:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Because of this, updates to individual box contents will not necessarily show up on editors' watchlists, if you've only got the main project page watched.

However, i shall try to assume good will and prefer to wait. We can discuss about this after seeing his future contributions. I'll watch his contributions and inform you if i observe any vandalism. Regards. e104421 I understand your feelings but block him/her anyway. Avoiding blocks is not a method of reforming.

I can restore the article into your userspace or even totally restore it and put on AfD, although usually Prodded articles have little chanses to survive AfD abakharev 14:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC) [edit] Nikolai Sergeyev Hi. This article is almost fully copy-pasted from here. What has to be done with it?

Is that really the way the policies work? -Harmil 14:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC) I think yes. The accounts that only produce vandalism should be banned permanently. On the brighter side of things is that nobody prevents an indef blocked user with two edits to register a new account if he ever decided to reform abakharev 22:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
