Possible Grawp Vandal

Hi, Could you check out User talk:96.246.255.17, with this diff. Thanks LegoKontribsTalkM 05:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. It looks like Luna has already blocked them for 48 hours - Alison 04:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Padraig

I noticed some spam left at the bottom of his user page before it was preserved. It's not a huge deal obviously, but I think all things considered it would be appropriate to remove it. ʄ!¿talk? 12:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Y Done yesterday - thanks for letting me know - Alison 04:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Check a drawer for me please?

Hi Alison, I was wondering if you could check to see if there were any other accounts associated with the two that I blocked today? The accounts were:
Kingtut 579 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) and
Betterlucknexttime (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log)

Thanks, R. Baley (talk) 21:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Y Done - yesterday. No other accounts I can see. Sorry for not replying sooner! - Alison 04:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

request in e-mail

Hi Alison, could you please help me with something? Nothing urgent, but it's better kept private. More details in your inbox. Thanks! --Kyoko 05:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Kyoko, that's Y Done now, I'm delighted to say. It took ages! - Alison 04:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Alison, thank you very much! As a sign of my gratitude, here's some baklava! <3 --Kyoko 15:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Nyommy!! Thanks, Kyoko :) - Alison 17:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Return of a BLP vandal

Re your block this diff, I think they're back. See Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-06-01 Lynn Conway. Is it possible to see if it's coming from the same place? Dicklyon (talk) 02:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Given the serious BLP issues, as well as the same attacks on Andrea James and others, plus the rather obvious sock-puppetry, I can state that BarbaraSue (talk · contribs) is Confirmed to be the indefblocked editor Jamesemeadii (talk · contribs), anon editor, etc, etc. There were other accounts last year, but I can't remember now. This editor was also previously blocked for personal attacks on User:Jokestress, aka Andrea James. Previous block log stated, "Attempting to harass other users: <!-- Wikistalking / impersonation / harassment / POV - just unreal -->" - Alison 04:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
User(s) blocked by MBK004 (talk · contribs), per this checkuser report - Alison 04:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Was just about to let you know. Feel free to add anything to the message. -MBK004 04:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that - you were quick! :) You, or Dicklyon, might want to put a note into that MEDCAB case that this was a returning sock of a blocked editor. Note that the name, "Jamesemeadii", the previous account name, is highly problematic and is likely a BLP issue in and of itself - Alison 04:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Done on the MEDCAB, I've left a note on the page and notified the mediator. I'll remove the previous account name since it is still in the diff I've posted. -MBK004 04:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

←Perfect, thanks! - Alison 05:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Your Ban on IP 69.228.190.230

Your ban on the IP 69.228.190.230 for "multiple accounts" is completely uninformed and unwarranted. Since April 19, you have only succeeded in banning every random person at Red Rock Cafe in Mountain View, CA, USA.. This information is readily accessible on the talk page for User_talk:69.228.190.230, and was on the day of block. Red Rock is a very popular coffee shop in Silicon Valley. It is expected that multiple registered users and multiple unregistered users would originate from this IP. If Silicon Valley doesn't have a high incidence Wikipedians than where else would?

Banning IPs is an incredibly powerful tool and it should be used sparing. Granted, there are some regrettable instances when it is required, but to ban a shared IP is little more than collective punishment, is antisocial, and in direct conflict with the goal of making Wikipedia open to all.

So thanks. You kept me from fixing the atrocious language on David A. Wheeler's page.

67.180.193.93 (talk) 10:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Without saying too much on-wiki, this IP address had been used repeatedly by a banned editor to stalk and harass people in RL. Fortunately, that person no longer has internet access right now, so I'll gladly unblock that IP address now. Thanks for letting me know and sorry for all the trouble - Alison 11:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok, it's now unblocked :) - Alison 11:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alison

Hi Alison, long time since my last post, (don't roll the eyes) its just I need something explained to me? Could you have a look at this for me here. I must be missing something, and you might be able to sort me out. Thats it! Nothing else! And yes, I'm up to my neck in it, never one to be a shrinking violet;) --Domer48 (talk) 19:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

If you would rather not, simply reply on my talk page “Barge Pole…not with.” Thanks --Domer48 (talk) 19:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Domer, I'd love to help, but it's definitely a barge pole moment for me. I've my own POV on that subject myself (which is why I steer clear) and while I can remain impartial, it would be a struggle. Lots of admins watch this page, so someone completely detached may come forward to opine. Really sorry! - Alison 00:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all Alison, I do understand. Who ever dose come along will most certainly need to be detached, from reality. Well I'm off now to shake a few trees, hear, speak, and see no evil, wish me look;). --Domer48 (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sekrit planz!

O hay, here they are:

  1. Take editors to RFAR;
  2. Bad-mouth on WR;
  3. Get UPS to flood their driveway with boxes;
  4. Challenge them to a children's card game so that you can steal their souls with some freaky-deaky Egyptian artifact, killing some gay clowns in the process.
  5. ???
  6. Profit!
:P Sceptre (talk) 23:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Excellent!! Muhahaha!!! I especially like the freaky-deaky stuff, always into that :-D - Alison 00:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 :o TMI, Alison. Shame. So totally not stealing ideas from Marik's Evil Council of Doom, btw. Sceptre (talk) 00:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
hey, if we're a s00per sekrit cabal, do we get fancy decoder rings? :D SirFozzie (talk) 00:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

my talk page

Thanks. I had to go for a few hours. When I came back and saw that I had been vandalized that many times, I decided that enough was enough. I mean, I have to actually dig deep in the history just to find real comments. *sigh* J.delanoygabsanalyze 01:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

If you're still on, can you salt this page so that [create=autoconfirmed]? If that is not possible, just make it [create=sysop]. I can't imagine why I would want to create that page, or why anyone else should. J.delanoygabsanalyze 01:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Y Done - semi'd for create - Alison 01:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it was

Yeah it was. There are some prospects up (lots), if you know what I mean.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 19:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. And that other stuff is Y sorted now :) - Alison 06:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
