Metal bands need protection

After viewing the long articles that the rock bands Tool, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Guns N' Roses I feel that all of them need to be semi-protected, so that only established users can edit them.

Are you a Ja Rule fan like me, if so, you need to check out Max B's music, he sounds just like Ja.

6 month block

Hi. Could you please explain why you felt that this IP address should be blocked for 6 months? On the face of it there seems to only be a handful of edits from the address over the past couple of years and only a few of them are disruptive, but I am sure there is probably more to it than I can see from the contributions. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 07:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Same question with this IP. You blocked them at the same time, were they related? TigerShark (talk) 08:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

See section "Recent blocks" above. This is a long standing problem with CSCWEM. - auburnpilot talk 13:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I would still like to hear his reasoning, as there could possibly be facts that we don't know, suspected sockpuppetry for example. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see this post to ANI. You input would be appreciated. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 20:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your blocks

Obviously, we are all volunteers and any service to Wikipedia is appreciated. However, use of the administrative tools requires a willingness to explain your actions, particularly controversial ones. I have randomly flipped through your blocks and found several very questionable ones since your last edit on March 31. I would ask, as have others above, that you be willing to discuss your administrative actions. Wikipedia:BP#Reasons_and_notification states, "Administrators should also notify users when blocking them by leaving a message on their user talk page unless they have a good reason not to. It is often easier to explain the reason for a block at the time than it is to explain a block well after the fact." Accordingly, if you continue to issue blocks without notifying the user on their talk page or explaining your actions here to users who ask, I will block your account. --B (talk) 02:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Also FYI you have been brought up in an AN/I discussion about this. I suggest you respond to it to avoid any future drama. VegaDark (talk) 07:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone considered the possibility that perhaps he went to sleep, the clown ate him, and it is in fact the clown that is now doing the blocking? xenocidic (talk) 19:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I think we wait now, just dont make any more unreasonable blocks, or consensus seems to be to open an ArcCom case to maybe get you desysopped, just a friendly warning...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 21:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Request at WP:RfAR for your "without prejudice" desysopping

It is with considerable regret that I would advise you that I have filed a Request per the above matter. I assure you that it was done with utmost concern for both yourself and the encyclopedia/community only, and I hope that you will return to contest the request/removal and to discuss your recent actions. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

(edit to remove sig so section will not archive)

Do you have any response to the request? I'd like to hear your side before getting involved. BTW, as can me seen on my talk page, I'm dealing with a health crisis, so I might be out of touch for a few days! Bearian (talk) 23:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Arbitrator comment

Hi,

I'd have emailed this note, but as others have commented, email is disabled.

Obviously this is in furtherance of the concerns others have brought to RFAR. I've taken a look, and note three things - a highly productive history of a good editor and admin on Wikipedia, lack of contact/email, and also (last 2 weeks) lack of blocks issued. My impression is you're on some kind of break, and haven't used that tool a while, in which case, enjoy and have fun!

Can you just make sure that if/as/when you do return to block a problem editor, you'll be able to respond well to any block discussion and unblock requests by others, and maybe also drop a note here in reply to confirm that's all taken care of, or just let people know what the status quo is, and if all's okay. It matters :-)

The other thing is, email per se isn't the important thing, so much as communication. Right now no blocking is going on, so it's not at issue. It's the combination of no activity except blocking, and no email/no posts to any user/no communication, and around 100 blocks, that's a concern. In some of those 100 blocks, surely there was a wish to communicate by some user or admin. If possible, please ensure the communication concerns of other editors (if any) would be addressed quickly, or at any rate, for sure before using admin tools such as blocking again. If you're taking a break, and switched email off to not be disturbed, and won't be using them a while, feel free to let others know, it's fine :)

The only thing is please, only use blocking if there'll be good communication and responsiveness. The tools aren't being touched by stewards (even without communication) simply because there's been no blocking activity for some 2 weeks - all's fine. But the two go together, the tools need communication and responses.

When you get a chance, please let other users know it's fixed and will be okay, before resuming use of these tools. If you don't then the bit will likely be temporarily removed purely until communication's resolved, and - it should be added - without at that point being "under a cloud" at all. But the tools need good care and part of that has got to be responsiveness if they're going to be used.

Apologies for this, and if you need to, or need any help at all whatsoever, please do email me (or arbcom-l) without hesitation, and we'll sort it out more fully that way.

If all is in fact okay and it's all good, or you're taking a break and just doing a bit of anti-vandalism housekeeping on the side - hope its a good one, and that this note is not a problem :) But please only engage in blocking, if you'll be contactable and responsive for any discussions that might arise.

Best, and enjoy the break :)
