Checkuser

Thanks for fixing up my checkuser request - bit of a cockup there on my part. Orpheus 08:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

protect

Hi because you removed all the protection on sailor moon and that guys gone for good (touch wood) could you remove the protection on my pages (I would but I have no clue) thanks ♥Eternal Pink-ready for love♥ 16:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Account Creation Disabled

Hi Luna! You recently usernameblocked Edgesboommoobnploijuhygtfrdeswretdrfygtuhyiujnikjuhgyftrde (talk • contribs) with the block log summary "Please read our username policy and choose another name." I don't know if it was your intention, but you used the Account Creation Disabled blocking feature when you blocked this account, so the user was unable to choose another name. Per Wikipedia:Username policy#Blocking: "For inappropriate usernames that may have simply been created by someone without knowledge of this policy, blocks on the username should be indefinite and should typically not use the Account Creation Disabled blocking feature, so the user can create another appropriate username, as we invite the user to do if they have not vandalised."

Vandalism to KyraVixen's userpage

Sorry, didn't mean to stomp on your revert or warning re User:Varnin's vandalism of User:KyraVixen. When vandalism is particularly malicious, sometimes I warn first (hoping to stop it from continuing) and revert second. Please feel free to downgrade or remove my warning on User talk:Varnin as you see fit. Raymond Arritt 01:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the unblock

Thank you for unblocking me, I have read the autoblock policy, and i understand it, however, as I said on my talk page it is just frustrating to get autoblocked. Thank you. -Sunshine 13:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you very much. IrishGuy ^talk 02:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA

I still want to be an admin. Will you guide me, o thou great redeemer?--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 05:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

A little bit of column "A", a little bit of column "B".--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 02:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I think your online. Could you help me become admin? I was disapointed with my last RfA, especially as it was dogged by the RfA/AfD business and am very much still interested in such a responsibility in the community.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 03:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well I didn't mean tonight but in the near future. If I/we were to put up an RfA it would be shot down due to my lack of editing recently. Plus it maybe be very hard to get through an RfA right now as this Essjay thing will have the same affect 9-11 did on the airports. I was more leaning to some mentoring for a few weeks if that is possible. Thanks.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 04:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay thanks for the insight. But lets say we start over and pretend I never did that previous RfA. What steps would you suggest I take into becoming an admin???? Cheers.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 04:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, will take it and follow it.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 07:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Richard Bennett

As per your suggestion I created a RFC on RichardBennett. If you wish you could be one of the signatures since you have intervened. Otherwise comments on it are welcome.Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/RichardBennett WolfKeeper 08:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

If you do get a chance, please look it over, there's about 24 hours left or it will lapse. I tried to get ThruranX to help, because he had commented about Richard Bennett's style, and so it counted for the signature. But he said and I quote:

"Leave me out of it. I have ZERO confidence in ANY wikipedia conflict resolution system. Richard Bennett will not stop, and the admins will not try to stop him in any way. Good bye. ThuranX 21:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)" WolfKeeper 08:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Request for Usurpation of Username "Jules"

Hi, You have looked at my request to usurping the username Jules, from my current username Jules1975.

Unless I am mistaken, the usurpation should be allowed once the time for objection is up (on 10th March 2007)? In anticipation, I have changed my signature. I assume it is OK for me to do this and won't prejudice my request? If it will please let me know and I will change it back. Thanks. Jules 15:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

legal issues

Thank you for the warning regarding legal threats and for giving me the benefit of the doubt. You are correct that I was not aware of the rule and I will not do it again.GingerGin 18:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Can you please tell PaxEquilibrium to stop changing my userpage [1] and accusing me of being a sockpuppet of some AfrikaPaprika person? I have been cleared by checkuser here yet he continues. He claims I am this person based on the similarity of this person's IP with that of my own, but that is as far as the similarity goes and this was confirmed by the checkuser. Please can you tell this person to stop?! I don't know what to do anymore or who to talk to, please tell him to leave me alone. Tar-Elenion 19:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Correction - the Check-User pointed out that Tar-Elenion is most probably User:Afrika paprika.

No it didn't. It pointed out that there is similarity in IP's. It also said But this is really one for duck testing, no? or in other words that you are fishing. Leave me alone already! Tar-Elenion 20:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I already tried posting there but no one seems to care. Tar-Elenion 19:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thank you; I planned on bringing up a neutral mediator (the situation seems very problematic). --PaxEquilibrium 19:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

From an Inspired and Incapable Wikipedian

Sockpuppetry

You recently reviewed an unblock request from Emotionlovesyou (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). I just wanted to let you know that I have found evidence of an anonIP sockpuppet which has been adding the same link since the user has been blocked. More info at User_talk:Emotionlovesyou#Sockpuppet. Nposs 16:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocking

Could you please explain why you have blocked me? I have never committed any vandalism in wikipedia and have not found any reason for my blocking? Hope this was a mistake and you can unblock me —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Artfish (talk • contribs) 21:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

Phi Kappa Psi

This is a request for procedural information.

I've notice that Phi Kappa Psi is being vandalized from various accounts, to remove the “Controversy” section. Right now, the problem doesn't seem overwhelming, but the fact that various accounts have been involved makes me think that it could become so.

If-and-when this begins to snow-ball, where do I report the problem? —SlamDiego 06:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

re:quick note

Thanks a lot! Sorry about that little "mistake" I did during archiving. I seem to be getting the hang of it, though!

I have a question: do the cases listed as "declined" get automatically archived and removed, or should I wait?--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 00:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, it really doesn't matter then...I guess. Do you mind if I use your userbox for RFCU clerks? I couldn't find one on the clerks' page. =( Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 01:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Just to clarify, for the RfA one, are you interested in encouraging people to nominate themselves, to nominate others, or to participate in the voting discussion process? Thanks – Qxz 01:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

We've been hitting the same IPs

I noticed you are blcoking them without additional. I don't have a problem with it but I've been leaving warnings on their talk page. Is this a waste of time or should I do it even though you have already blocked them? see user_talk:75.126.163.10 user_talk:139.164.130.170. You beat me to the revert by the speed of mouse clicks. :).--Tbeatty 06:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

no worries. If you don't mind, I'll just drop the test5 warning if you already blcoked them and I see it on the logs. --Tbeatty 07:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Naah. It actually saves me the trouble of the IPvandal report. --Tbeatty 07:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser procedure mess

Hi Luna Santin,

Please return Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Milomedes to the commentable case file area. I have an open request with UnivitedCompany to correct procedural errors[2].

However, I'm concerned that I'm not going to get a response. I was just reading on the bureaucrats' noticeboard that checkusers do burn out. That may be the problem behind this expanding procedural mess.

If I can't get adequate procedural justice, I'll need to make a closing comment on the the case myself to at least declare that I'm not the (tendentious) requester I seem to have been confused with, and therefore can't refile as suggested.

I was also reading that RFCU clerks offer advice about the arcaine checkuser process. If you are too busy in the real world to offer me any advice, can you recommend who to ask or what to do next?

If possible, please reply here. Milo 07:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Looking at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Milomedes, I see no outstanding requests. Please bear in mind that WP:RFCU (and related subpages) are primarily procedural in nature, and are not intended for discussion -- if you have any remaining comments, you could mention them at Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser/Case/Milomedes (the talk page), the admin noticeboards, or take them up with the acting checkuser. You could also submit another case request, but I can't comment on the merits (or lack of merits) of any given case. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm complaining about procedure. "Request" may be an ambiguous term of art in this context. Above, I provided a link to UnivitedCompany's talk page where I have laid out my complaint.

As for the case talk page suggestion, part of the problem may be that UnivitedCompany didn't read the talk page, so why would anyone read it in the future to uncover the ambiguous mess on the case page?

Btw, had there been any head of page instruction on tolerable length of comment, I wouldn't have written so much, and my comments might not have been missed (if that's what happened). Milo 08:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

As I said, RfCU is not a discussion page. You've been offered a number of routes to continue the discussion, or to otherwise pursue your request. In addition, I would like to point out that the instructions header, outlined in a large green box at the top of WP:RFCU, does in fact point out that lengthy discussions will be moved or refactored. I've pointed out a number of doors which are open to you, including submitting a new request for checkuser -- please choose one of them. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

"As I said, RfCU is not a discussion page" There would be no need for a discussion if it were not for procedural issues and errors. Apparently, it's not written down what is supposed to be done when a procedural problem occurs.

"lengthy discussions will be moved or refactored" Those instuctions are for the requester which I was not, rather than a victim commenter, but I agree that I should not have been literal about assuming the lengthyness rule didn't apply to commenters as well. In general, the RFCU instructions need to be improved, and I'm not the only person who thinks this.

"a number of doors which are open to you" Not quite:

• Under the rules, I can't make a new request because that would be trying to "prove my innocence", so that door is closed.

• By probable test, as previously noted, I doubt the talk page door can effectively correct an error on the case page. You wouldn't like it if your username was being confused by inference with a tendentious requester, and your only option was to place a notice on a different page that apparently wasn't read.

• By "acting checkuser" I can only guess that you mean UnivitedCompany; I used that door, and so far, UC has made things worse.

• The only door that leaves is admin noticeboards. Thank you, I'll think about it. Milo 09:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Oops

No worries, I understand it's easy to miss. I can help by trying to be more clear in my reports ;) -- TexMurphy 08:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds like something I need to work on -- are there any particular messages that prompted this suggestion? Luna Santin 23:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I got you mixed up with someone else. But, in fact, there was one minor incident: [[3]]. I probably shouldn't be too picky, though. Patstuart^talk·edits 23:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Usurpation question

Hi Luna, wanted to ask your opinion about this [4]. I told Anthony cfc at the time that requests should not be deleted but should be left for a crat to tag {{not done}} so they can be archived by the bot. I assumed he would restore it but it seems he didn't... Was wondering if anything should be done about it? One could:

• Restore it to the page and let Dan tag it as {{not done}}
• Add it to the archive manually
• Just leave it deleted

Was wondering what you thought best. Cheers, WjBscribe 19:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Should I read your not commenting on this as- "leave it alone and stop making a fuss over nothing" :-)? WjBscribe 19:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob. I'd lean towards adding to it the archive but with a 'clerknote' instead of {{not done}}. Seems better than embarassing Anthony by restoring it and explaining to Dan- who might see the readdition as unnecessary bureacracy anyway. Does that seem an alright approach to you? As you say, the rejected requests archive isn't that important. WjBscribe 19:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Done [5]. WjBscribe 19:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Action on completed checkuser case

You've been quite helpful in the past following up on checkuser cases, so I wanted to ask a favor. If you have time, could you look into the situation I described here? I posted to AN/I but haven't gotten any response. I don't mean to forum-shop, so if you'd rather wait for someone to respond on AN/I (or respond there yourself) I totally understand. Thanks for your time. MastCell 21:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it looks like User:Irishguy commented at User Talk:Martinphi. Not that I wouldn't appreciate you taking a look at it, but thought I'd give you a heads-up that another admin (I think he's an admin) had gotten involved. MastCell 02:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I accept the explanation given me on my talk page. But you seem to think that there is some reason for doubt here, as to whether it is necessary to treat us as the same user. Is this so? What is the consensus? Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 23:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Admin Question.

I have a question: can admins unblock themselves if they've been autoblocked? For example, if some vandal shared your IP address, vandalized, got blocked by another admin, and you were affected; could you unblock yourself, or not? I'm curious. Acalamari 02:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I can understand if an admin unblocked themselves if another admin had blocked them; they'd be in big trouble; but I thought it would be okay to un-autoblock themselves. Obviously not. Acalamari 03:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
