SSP

Thought you may want to see this, [1]. For what it's worth, without the RFCU, I'd have made the same call as you. RlevseTalk 03:24, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello Ember of Light. I wanted to thank you for completing the sockpuppet case against me. BlueAzure skipped another board and continues to WP:Stalk me. BlueAzure has taken any desire and fun out of wanting to help the process, so I'm not going to continue. Thanks again, this site is lucky to have you.HollywoodFan1 (talk) 05:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

For the corrections on my user page. At first, I was under the impression it was a vandal, as only yesterday, I had a fellow wikipedian blank my user page twice. But, hey, it was only you correcting my spelling :D Which is fine. -Lindsey8417 (talk) 01:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism on United States Navy.

Hi, you reverted me here, saying that this edit isn't vandalism. I disagree; the vandal says that a telegraph man, who served on a Landing Ship, Tank, is notable enough to be in the "Notable Sailors" section of the United States Navy article... doubtful. If he provided a source to recognize his claimed bravery (and ascertain that he is notable), I'd accept that (or at least do a bit more research instead of revert at first sight). However, a google search for "James Hann Anzio" (Anzio being the battle the vandal says James Hann fought in) lists zero relevant results. I will restore the warning. Thanks for covering my back anyway, I'm sure I'll need it sometime. :) · AndonicO Hail! 03:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case on Dan689 4

Sorry to have wasted your time; I didn't check the block log, but I didn't see any evidence on the user page that the account was blocked. Gladys J Cortez 22:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ember, good job in tagging the total mess that this was. Thanks! Spellcast (talk) 09:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for filing RFCU

Thanks for filing the RFCU on User:Nathann sc. It's pretty clear to me what the deal is on that case, but it never hurts to have irrefutable evidence ;) --DachannienTalkContrib 18:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

San Vitores

Hi, thanks for your help with the San Vitores article! Can I ask why my edits were reverted? I was including the updated info saintsbox and some grammatical and wikifying edits. Thanks again! --Polylerus (talk) 21:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Artisol2345 SSP case

I see that Artisol account was blocked for a week, however that was back in 2007. The Artisol2345 and AL2TB accounts are not (showing) blocked as of now. Artisol Block Log, AL2TB Block Log. Also, why would the SSP template be REMOVED from the Artisol userpage? It should have been updated with the AL2TB information if the case is over and proven, don't you think? Edit Centric (talk) 02:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Looking through the end process, there are several "hinky" things here. First, the SSP template was removed from the Artisol page. That shouldn't have happened, instead the resulting "confirmed sockpuppets" page should have been updated, from what I gather looking at other closed cases. Second, the confirmation was never placed on the AL2TB userpage. (See example from another confirmed Artisol sockpuppet, Alittlegoo. Thirdly, shouldn't an admin have closed this case? Edit Centric (talk) 02:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

You blocked the wrong account. Apparently you didn't block anybody. Why the heck did you close the SSP then as "user blocked"?

Also, it is AL2TB that is the sock of Artisol2345. He has moved on to a new IP: 75.47.151.147. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Arlingtonbeachwear

Hey. On Jan 6th you tagged Arlingtonbeachwear (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) as a Helmandgogo sockpuppet, but didn't get an admin to indef block them... They subsequently went on and vandalized some more.

Please in the future, if you ID such, let someone know on WP:ANI or some such. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Probable TyrusThomas4lyf sock-puppetry

Hi -- User:Blow of Light mentioned that you deal with sock-puppetry [2]. Here's one that I could use some assistance on: 75.34.6.51 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) and 75.34.12.158 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) are likely sock-puppets of TyrusThomas4lyf (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log · rfcu) due to a similar IP, edits to articles he has frequented in the past, and characteristic edit summaries. Also, we have (just as one bit of evidence): [3] versus [4] , [5], [6], and [7]. I can come up with more evidence if you need it. Thanks. — Myasuda (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!
WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!
- Happy editing as always, Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
