Privacy policy

I provided diffs, as you told me, but the conclusion was: The privacy policy does not permit us to disclose IPs. So what should I do next? Emir Arven 23:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Re

I just cannot believe that the others don't see the damage that he produced nominating pictures for deletion which were donated by other users to this Wikipedia. I mean, some people made an effort to take photos and to donate it to this Wikipedia. For God's sake just look at this one example:

The worst thing is that he told lies about other users who donated pictures to Wikipedia providing false information. He said:

This image was unlikely to have been taken by Asim Led. He has a history of providing dubious sources, and lying about source info. Impropper licence. Since the image is probably unfree, it is also missing a fair use rationale.

Using this tactic he removed so many valuable pictures and he was not blocked, not to mention his sockpuppet past?! Can you just tell me honestly, since you blocked me for two weeks so easily, why don't you block him because of clear misuse of Wikipedia? Just answer me as a man to man, honestly? I don't understand...because this is bad for Wikipedia...we should help each other, not work against each other... Emir Arven 23:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability (local churches and other religious congregations)

Per the Wikipedia:Protection policy I have removed the protection on Wikipedia:Notability (local churches and other religious congregations).

According to the protection policy Indefinite (indefinite is the same as long-term) full protections are used for:

  • High visibility pages such as the Main Page in order to prevent vandalism. This includes templates transcluded to these pages.
  • The site's logo, press releases, and key copyright and license pages, for legal reasons. Admins should not make significant changes to these pages without prior discussion.
  • Certain "system administration" pages, including many editorial, deletion and stub templates, and the entire MediaWiki namespace. These are pages that need rarely be changed, and that because of widespread usage can cause large-scale disruption if vandalized, or modified ill-advisedly. Again, admins should not make significant changes to these pages without prior discussion.
  • Pages deleted by consensus that are repeatedly recreated. These are listed in either Category:Protected deleted pages or Wikipedia:Protected titles. Requests to overturn such a deletion should be made through the deletion review process.
  • Personal css and js pages like User:Example/monobook.css or User:Example/cologneblue.js are automatically fully protected by the MediaWiki software. Only the account associated with these pages and admins are able to edit them.

I don't see what criteria this, or any other rejected policy page, falls under.

Thanks, ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 06:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

There was an edit war at Wikipedia:Notability (local churches and other religious congregations). That's why I protected. All pages you fully protect are default protected indefinitely, and are unprotected once the edit war is over, or when someone requests and provides valid reasons for doing so. Thought you might want to know, because I was a bit confused when you gave a list of situations when to apply full protection indefinitely. Nishkid64 14:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
If the reverting starts up again I'll re-protect... but "temporary protection" is just that... temporary. People have had time to cool down. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 15:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Sonic games

After one month, the discussion has ended and everyone on the talk page appears to be satisfied with maintaining the status quo AFAICT. I am requesting that it be unprotected so that editing may continue. Cheers. —davidh.oz.au 12:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Insults again, and no response by admins...

Hi, Nishkid64, Ivan continues to insult me, to call me nationalistic fanatic etc. He is really mad at me, because I established a case against him based on facts. Emir Arven 15:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

He goes around, putting tags on user pages, calling me troll etc. all just to provoke me, make me react and being banned, but I will not break any rule this time. Emir Arven 15:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Always the same tactic, as he did befor:

Template:Wikia

Hey, I've just "fixed" Template:Wikia so that it is like the other templates (Template:Wikispecies, [[Template:Wikibooks], etc). However, there is one thing different about it, it isn't protected. If it should be now, can you protect it? It is (almost) no different than all other interwiki templates. If you shouldn't protect it, that is OK, but I see no reasan not to. Notify me about it later, PikminloverMeep! € 02:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Concerning your Admin Coaching assignments

Your name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help!

Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process...

If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list.

Thank you.

I know we've had this argument before [2] but once again I must disagree with you. This is a LONG TERM VANDAL. They already received their final warning. The fact that the people who warned today didn't bother to check the talk page and issue a level 4 warning shouldn't prevent them from being blocked. Nardman1 23:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Talend deletion

Hi Nishkid, You've deleted twice the "Talend" page, calling out the G11 criteria for speedy deletion. I have to explain that we are not trying to spam nor put blatant advertising into wikipedia. Instead, we're just trying to make ourselves visible, giving information about Talend and Talend Open Studio, in the most "informative" and "encylopaedical" way as possible when talking about a product... I mean, no more no less than the competition such as [3]Informatica or [4]Sunopsis are allowed to do, which are commercial/proprietary products. After the first deletion, we were pointed out to NCurse, another Wikipedia admin, who helped me to rewrite the content of the page in order to get permission to be back online. Then you deleted it again, three weeks ago. We agree to comply with the same rules as other do on wikipedia, this is fair enough, but then, can you help us having a page called Talend or Talend Open Studio, which would provide information about the presence of a new Open Source solution vendor in the ETL field? We're newbies in the wikipedia world, we haven't done much contribution so far, but we're totally open (I mean we're Open Source ;) )to do it if you can lead us a bit. Any suggestion from you is welcome. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Elisa

The article does not seem really notable (If not CSD#G11, then CSD#A7 would apply). I was looking at a rough Alexa web ranking (which I usually disapprove of), but the site appears to be ranked in the ~250,000 range, way short for articles on websites. I suggest you go to WP:DRV and show why Talend is a notable company that should have its own Wikipedia article. Please provide info such as external links and other stuff to show how Talend is notable online. If you need more help, let me know. Also, I will have to block this account, on the basis of our username policy which states that any account with the word "bot" in it can be blocked indefinitely if it is not in fact a bot. You can create a new account if you wish, but please make it conform Wikipedia username policy. Nishkid64 21:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of talend. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Elisa-Talend 15:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Btw, I recreated my account, but be aware, that "sabot" is actually my REAL name and I have to live with it, so weird enough for me to be treated as a robot! Elisa-Talend 15:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Please watchlist this new page: User:Elisa-Talend/Talend, and please let me know what you think, and if this is an acceptable start for Talend article deletion review. Many thanks. Elisa-Talend 17:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:An

Hi, sorry for the unnecessary unprotection request. For some reason, the template had {{protected template}} on it, which confused me. After that I decided to go through the whole of Category:Protected templates; turns out there were about 20 templates tagged as "high-risk protected" that weren't. Odd – Qxz 19:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ad suggestion

Hey, how about a possible AIV banner. Something flashy that would get the message across that people should report only after a user violates a t3 or t4 (uw-3 or uw-4) warning, and not before they go against the warning. That might be effective (maybe we can put it on AIV, itself lol). Tell me if you like the suggestion. Nishkid64 04:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Idea; AIV - Report vandals! Then, the next slide "only after they vandalize after a t3/t4 warning!". Something like that. Nishkid64 04:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your suggestion. I'll see what I can do – Qxz 04:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Vandalism
I've made it more of a generic "how to deal with vandalism" one, and it links to Wikipedia:Vandalism, but it does explain when to report users (and it uses the same colours as the message on WP:AIV) – Qxz 05:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Cowboy, again

Hey, DumBot remmoved the protection on Cowboy (assume it was an automated thing) and anyway the vandalism is starting up again. So far it's minor and managable, but would you mind adding Cowboy to your watch list, just in case it gets crazy again? Thanks! Montanabw 03:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Emir Arven

I know and I too agree with you. But I too am present here, not only Ivan Kricancic (controversial as he may be)

Quite a bunch of the links posted by Ivan are actually legitimate edits of Emir Arven, edits which I'd also do myself. However, did you read my Evidence post? It is to my opinion that I wrote it very clear in full detail, giving the image of Emir Arven's pattern of behavior that includes heavy racist inflammations and the majority of his edits here in the sole service of discrediting Serbs and Croats. (tens of those [samples taken from a span ever since Emir came to Wikipedia to present-day] where Emir Arven directly showed that people who are of Serb ethnicity are irrelevant, cannot be trusted and several other generalizations [including that all Serbian historians, linguists and other intellectuals are ultra-nationalists whose opinion's are altogether irrelevant]); and essentially that, in the end, that which you say is decided by your ethnic origin: Serbian (the wrong ethnic group to be born into) or nonSerb (the correct group of peoples; especially if Bosniak). --PaxEquilibrium 16:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

And in the (many) disputes Emir had with me, (note: I cannot say this without looking somewhat as an egoist), I dare not say that both Emir Arven and I are equally guilty. The greatest examples of my guilt were that I was naive and that I too harshly (sometimes) respond(ed) to his trolling. Once again, take to granted not Ivan's saying alone, but mine too. An RfC like this was my idea in the first place (and it remained so for months, as Emir Arven's behavior was really "getting out", I just didn't find the time to file it). The reason that I "hopped in" in Kricancic's support is that alone. --PaxEquilibrium 16:30, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Could you please voice your opinion? --PaxEquilibrium 18:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing that out. I did not know of your connection, so I had not looked at your statement, but upon reading through it all, I have also agreed to putting Emir on probation and giving him an official warning. Such sort of hateful comments are not tolerated on Wikipedia. I dealt with a similar user (Oguz1) just a few weeks ago, who incited the same type of anti-XX comments, but regarding the Turkish involvement in the Armenian Genocide. Nishkid64 18:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Your response seemed like you expect that I'd be disappointed (the but word). :) On contrary, I ma very please that you actually accepted my original proposal. :)) Cheers, mate. --PaxEquilibrium 18:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I've just re-read your statement. Sorry, my bad. Best regards, --PaxEquilibrium 18:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Three users/ same person

I believe that these three users are the same person:

  1. User:Gstar4
  2. 82.37.14.44
  3. User:Bullamail

The edits of User:Bullamail to Chittisinghpura massacre [5]were coincidental with the edits by 82.37.14.44 to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and conveyed extreme hatred and prejudice against Hindus with radical extremist Khalistani Sikh propaganda by removing sources and falsifying information. After Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale got semi-protected suddenly User:Gstar4 appears and reverts to the edits of 82.37.14.44 [6] and Bullamail [7]. Is this allowed? Birdsmight 10:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thx for ur response. Could you monitor these pages for any such extreme POV edits? The same problems exist in Kanwar Pal Singh Gill (paart from Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, Chittisinghpura massacre,Khalistan movement), with severe WP:BLP issues and other articles relating to Sikh personalities suffering from NRI Khalistani neuroses.

Chittisinghpura massacre article

User:Gstar4 is reverting to version of Chittisinghpura massacre that misrepresents the source from TOI that shows that claim of Hindus doing it is false. He does not seem to listen to reason and keeps violating WP:ATT and WP:NOR in the interests or pursuing "The Truth" according to his posts to my talk page[9][10].

DYK

Hi Nishkid64, I think it was wrong to change today's picture slot of WP:DYK because of copyright concerns regardíng Image:Муромцев.jpg. The photo was taken more than 100 years ago, and has been in the public domain for many, many, years. Probably decades. I'd like to ask you to revert your change. --Camptown 19:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought you changed the order. --Camptown 19:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
By the way, there are no "implications" about a debatable copyright violation here. The present lead is rather weak, so could you change back to the original order? --Camptown 19:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Nishkid64 - I really respect how you take your position as an RfA nominator seriously and actually defend the person you nominated against those who oppose the nomination. It is what I plan to do once I start nominating admin. candidates. I would be honored to have you nominate me. However, I would like a few days to fix up my user page first to give people a better idea of what I've been up to. -- Jreferee 03:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Bombings

Actually, no. It doesn't work that way. 1993 Bombay bombings is not the formal title for the blasts. I'm finding it very hard to put my view across, but unlike the Siege of Leningrad or the Bombay City Improvement Trust, or for that matter (9/11 not 11/9 around the world) there is no formal name for the bombings. Had it been a formal name, the name would have stuck. See [14], [15], and [16]. Also, the name should be renamed to 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, the most commly used name. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Understood, but I'd have to disagree with saying Mumbai bombings is the most common. Googling "Mumbai blasts" and "Mumbai bombings" and the same for Bombay, yields more hits for Bombay and Mumbai. The difference in hits is only <10,000, though. I still don't think it should be called Mumbai, when it in fact did occur in Bombay. Perhaps we should get some more opinions on this. I'll bring it up at the India Noticeboard. Nishkid64 14:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: IP Vandalism & Possible breach of NPA by me.

Hi Nishkid. I am wondering if you could help me for a second. I posted a warning earlier to an IP address which had vandalised my User talk page and one of my archives, 166.113.33.148. I quickly changed the warning since I thought it looked like a personal attack on whoever vandalised me. Could you please look at the talk page for this IP and review the previous edit, and tell me if indeed it could have been construed as a breach of WP:NPA. I need to know since I lost my temper a bit with them, since the IP vandalised based on my sexuality. Thanks. Thor Malmjursson 16:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Given that the IP's first edit was to your user talk page, I figure that the guy was using a different IP before and previously dealt with you. The subsequent edits are personal attacks, though. I would have blocked the user, but it appears they have stopped (or they have a dynamic IP, and it's changed). Nishkid64 20:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello again

A continuing problem

Hi Nishkid64... I'm trying to make up for a big mistake I made. Well I guess I should mention that was building up a subpage on my user page User:MrMacMan/future_admin_report so I could report a vandal you (and many others apparently) dealt with and blocked earlier User talk:209.177.21.6. My subpage has since been vandalized by one of the IPs the vandal uses and I'm kinda asking what I can do. I'm still building up the evidence and report which IPs and accounts she uses... but if she just blanks her pages over and over and deletes my future report I'm going to have a problem. A quick look at the IP's talk page (log) will show that I advocated the unblocking of this users account... I am sad to say that I looked back again and I stupidly missed her use of sockpuppets in the past and her many accounts being blocked. here. So while I'm compiling the other IP's edits User talk:69.117.20.128 and her new account User talk:RainingmySoul. So basically -- any advice and how do I eventually report Jessica once I compile the links to the edits, reverts, blankings, and vandalism? MrMacMan 22:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Well you can just remove the edits made by the IP on your user subpage. After you get evidence of possible socks, you can go for an RFCU case again to confirm whether or not they are actually sockpuppets. If confirmed, they can be blocked afterwards. Nishkid64 23:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry where do I report/initiate RFCU? Also, do you think I should contact other admins or people who have engaged in warnings or edits to her other accounts? Thanks for the help! MrMacMan 23:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
See WP:RFCU. Read everything carefully, and when you make the report, please do so in an appropriate manner. You can contact other admins if you wish. I don't see it as being entirely productive, but they might offer some advice that might be worthwhile. Nishkid64 23:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

My Checkuser request, (sorry)

Sorry to be such a needy user but i tried my best to fulfill the requirements needed for a checkuser and made one here. If I'm not crossing an ethical or administrative guideline (or taking up too much of your time) I would greatly appreciate if you could make sure my report follows the checkuser guidelines or any other notes would again be greatly helpful to me.

Hi Nishkid64. I use wikipedia frequently, though I am rarely involved in its community. I use it for starting point in academic research and to just learn about pop culture. I am leaving this message because I am curious why fredryk phox's page was deleted. Today was the first day I ever tried looking him up on wikipedia and was surprised that you blocked the page so that no one could even post a proper article on him. I can't really think of a reason why the block was made. If you could inform me, I would be grateful. I am just surprised that, given all the articles about incredibly obscure music, art, and people, fredryk phox does not have a page. Shinybluepope

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fredryk Phox. The AfD is quite old and may not be relevant at the moment, so if you want to make an article on Fredryk Phox, please go to WP:DRV and provide sources showing his notability. His page was deleted a number of times because he was deemed "non-notable". Nishkid64 21:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

RE: Continent

Your note regarding edit-warring appears to be unwarranted, not to mention inaccurate (e.g., no such activity on 23 Mar.). Be more deliberative when posting such notices in the future. Corticopia 12:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

'Nearly' is not the same ... and please note that discussions were taking place on that talk page. Again, be more precise and deliberative in your notes or leave them to an admin who can more clearly call to account; otherwise, said comments will be discarded without comment. Corticopia 14:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I knew not of the 3RR notice posted by that editor -- thanks. Anyhow, that editor continually pushed a point of view (despite my edit summaries) regarding content in that article, which was already repeated in that article. If he wants to whine regarding the addition of substandard, redundant content, he's entitled to.
Moreover, your cautions are noted, but I defer to my prior comments. As well, I will edit and reframe my talk page in whatever manner I (not you) feel is necessary: editors can peruse the edit history for added context (as the reporter did). End communication. Corticopia 14:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I keep receiving messages about spamming, and I'm trying to understand the restrictions. As a proprietary OCR software company, why is it "spam" to add our company to the Proprietary software OCR list? What exactly constitutes a propreitary OCR software company? Thank you, CVISION

Well, from the warning above, it appears the link you added is considered a part of the MediaWiki spam blacklist. I don't exactly why the link is bad, but I suggest you contact Eagle 101 and I think he could definitely help answer your question better. Nishkid64 21:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I award you (Nishkid64) the Excellent Userpage Barnstar for your excellent userpage, full of colour and general decorative design. Happy editing!! Tellyaddict 19:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Please Unblock 199.230.48.44

It's a public computer at a school, and you have currently blocked it from making edits due to vandalism. Blocking it really doesn't do much good, though--the vandal probably has a home computer. Since there are people other than the vandal who edit Wikipedia from that computer . . .

Nina Cortex article

Please unprotect this article so that it can be moved along with other Crash Bandicoot series character articles. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Mayor Quimby

I'm just gonna reply here since it wouldn't tell you if I replied in an archive. Anyway, if there were these edits going on, why not just log the page? I'm not sure if you're an admin or not, but you should have gotten one to do so if it was really that disruptive. I'm not sure how removing a block notice makes any difference, to be honest. He's blocked, removing a block notice won't let him edit anything anyway. Plus, people could always check the block logs. I wasn't aware of the legal threads, though. That is definitely unacceptable. I like your signature, by the way....just saying. Bsroiaadn 04:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I was the admin who originally blocked him. After I blocked the user, he repeatedly blanked his page and added some hateful things about other admins/editors involved, which I thought constitutes disruption. I fully protected his page and I let it expire at the time he was unblocked. He continued with his disruption on his talk page shortly thereafter and he made legal threats against me and other admins, which prompted the indefinite block. Anyway, he just basically blanked his page repeatedly, and that was the problem. When a user is blocked, he is not allowed to remove relevant discussions regarding his block or other stuff. Nishkid64 14:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't aware of any of that, I think I understand now, though. Sorry about that. Oh well, I learned from this. Bsroiaadn 18:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

3RR of user you already warned

Hi. I only want you to know that user Corticopia violated again 3RR on the article continent. You already warned him about this day ago. I have filed another 3RR report. AlexCov ( Let's talk! ) 05:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocking User:Zereshk

Hello,

I disagree with blocking Zereshk. It was the other User:The Behnam who was actually edit warring. The Behnam even admits that he does not respect the poll results (consensus). Zereshk was only trying to enforce the poll results, by request of other users. The Behnam has not even taken part in any discussion about the issue on the talk page.--Nightryder84 02:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Another editor before Benham was involved in the edit warring as well. Zereshk continued to revert--first with SSZ and then with Benham, and in doing so, he violated WP:3RR. I enforce policy, not choose sides to go on. Sorry. Nishkid64 02:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

All the best

All the best, mate! Take it easy, don't annoy the nurses too much, and I hope you have a speedy recovery :) – Riana talk 03:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

What can I say, I'm an absolute demon watchlister ;) – Riana talk 03:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Good luck

Hey, I just saw your userpage notice and wanted to say I really hope you'll recover quickly and I'll be thinking of you. Heimstern Läufer 03:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I might have even beaten Riana if I hadn't been distracted from the computer whilst I was writing the message. B-) Yeah, like her, I obsessively check my watchlist. :-) Heimstern Läufer 03:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hope all goes well

Have a quick and safe recovery. I wish you the best. MrMacMan 03:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

All the best for a speedy recovery! — Lost(talk) 05:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
OMG Nishkid! I too wish you good luck for a speedy recovery... hope all goes well :) Majorly (o rly?) 10:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah all the best from me too, lets hope they have the internet for you in hospital! Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 10:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Attack of the obsessive watchlist-ers! All the best from me as well :) CattleGirl talk | sign! 10:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
