Thank you

Thank you for removing User:I think 2 + 2 = 22.'s account. Gh5046 (talk) 02:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I was having trouble because the database got locked. Contact Thatcher. NOW. I'm doing cleanup and can't ask him to ferret out the sleepers. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 02:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
That was fast work. I'm impressed. Gh5046 (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I had help from East718. I didn't do all of it - in fact, I kept getting "Database Locked" messages. That twat picked the right time. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 03:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Prompting

Waiting for response at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Kender#Conditions. :) BOZ (talk) 18:12, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you have any more to add at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Kender#Additional questions? :) BOZ (talk) 14:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Batter up! :) BOZ (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
The talk has shifted to the Kender article, which I really am not too familiar with. Sorry. Besides, the mediator requested the tags not be brought up, and at this point,the tags (or, at least, the editors who have been removing them without fixing the articles) are the problem. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 18:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Your Issue with me

I agree to hold removing more of Gavin.collins tags until they are done moderating. However, once it is established that he did nothing more then cut and paste a block of tags into every RPG article he could find. I'm going right back to preventing the removal of the hard and honest work people have done. --Cozret (talk) 19:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Replied at AN/I. Please restrict the discussion to there. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 19:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

My prot of 169.'s user talk

Is there some reason that it matters? KnightLago (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Full-protection is overkill and keeps non-admins from fixing or updating tags as necessary. Semi-protection keeps away the IP, whom is the intended target, as well as any other anons that would vandalize his user page. Also, there's no evidence that a registered user is posting abusive material on that talk page, making the full-prot seem preemptive. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 19:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Good points. I will watch that in the future. Thanks. KnightLago (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Null persp, chummer. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 20:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

jimbo's sockpuppet acct-creation blocking

Have you seen the last note on User_talk:Jimbo's_vandalism_sock_puppet? If that is a shared IP, you may not want to block new account creation. 18.85.46.159 (talk) 17:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have absolutely no way of knowing what the IP is. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 17:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Further, his requests were made on the 19th of April. Any autoblock has long expired by now. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 17:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Not autoblocking; blocking new account creation. If you update the current indef block so that new accounts can be created, other people at that library could make their own acounts in order to edit. Having to email someone in order to make small edits tends to drive people away and keep them from editing -- the whole point behind supporting anon edits in the first place. You should probably allow new anon editing from that IP as well, since it wasn't a repeat offense and seems to have been hijinks by a young student. 18.85.46.159 (talk) 17:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The autoblock also includes the lock on account creation, which ends after 24 hours (same as the autoblock). This is a moot issue by now; they are free to create accounts again. The only way they'd be unable to make accounts at this point is if their IP was directly blocked w/o account creation. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 17:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Look at recent edit

Would you mind looking under the recent edit that I did under Wikipedia:Changing username, and let me know if you approve it.--JoeCool950 (talk) 07:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Usernames

I've got one more question, I thought I'd ask you on your talk page instead, if I do have two accounts and like the other better, is there a way to cancel the other account? Not now, but just wondering? --Joey Kaminski (talk) 03:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

No. Technical restrictions keep us from deleting accounts, and even if we could, per the GFDL we couldn't delete them anyhow. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 07:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


Theme song

It has a theme song at the beginning of each show. What do you mean by multiple the songs?--Angel David Commune with Heaven My Angelic Gifts 20:01, 10 May,2008 (User Talker Contributor)

There are no less than six theme songs used at the beginning of the show (by my count); each theme song is unique to a particular part of the animé series. Thus, Pokémon has no one theme song. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 20:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
That is the first season's (Kanto) theme song. The second season (Orange Islands) had a completely different theme song, and so on (Johto), and so forth (Master Quest). Thus, the animé has no one theme song. Just watch the later episodes instead of relying on YouTube, and you'll see what I mean. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 04:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Administrative aid requested

Please remove vandals' slanderous editing comments from the editing history of Heath Ledger; please see previous requests at WP:ANI (c. April 28 and earlier) and related Page Protection Request: diffs.. Thank you. (I'll be offline.) --NYScholar (talk) 05:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Please understand that you're best off asking for oversight on these edits if the edit summaries are slanderous/libelous (and, indeed, such edits are oversightable). I am incredibly leery of doing anything that will remove the protection on his favorite target. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 06:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Please read the previous archived discussions of the problem: [I'm adding a link to a now-archived post from April 11, 2008, but there are many more referring administrators to the problem and considerable archived discussion about how to proceed and how best to remove the slander from Wikipedia space (policy): Diffs.. I do not use e-mail in Wikipedia, and Oversight requires e-mailing with Wikipedia. I have already brought these problems to the attention of other administrators and several of them have removed the slander from the editing history; to remove slanderous comments (about people living or dead) is policy in Wikipedia; the only question is which administrator is going to do that and how: any administrator can bring this continuously ongoing problem to the attention of Oversight. I am sorry that I cannot do so, but I cannot. Thanks for looking further into this problem. It is an administrative matter which has a long history in WP:ANI archives and elsewhere. --NYScholar (talk) 00:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC) [Added a link (above) to Diffs. for convenience of finding archived April 11, 2008 posting about problem at WP:ANI. --NYScholar (talk) 00:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)]
If you have access to Microsoft Overlook or the email address of the oversight-en-I list, you do not need to use Wikipedia's email system to do it. In any circumstance, I am not going to do anything that will result in unprotection of that article (including deleting and selective restoring) because Grawp attacks that article so heavily that the effort would be pointless. Sorry. If you link me to the diffs with the slanderous edit summaries, however, I'll contact Oversight and we'll see if we can't remove these. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 03:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Nevermind. I checked and grabbed the edit; contacting Oversight now. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 03:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
To clarify again: I do not use e-mail in dealing with anything relating to Wikipedia (for obvious reasons); that includes any e-mail utility program. The offensive slanderous editing summaries still remain in the editing history of Heath Ledger and they still need removal from it (as has been done by earlier administrators dealing with the same problem); here is the link to your own edit which did not remove these remarks (scroll throughout and you will see that the others were previously removed): Diffs.. Once they are removed, they will not show up in your edit or the one that you reversed. (The archived discussions by others explain how they removed the material before.) Thanks again for your efforts to keep the article free from such blight. --NYScholar (talk) 09:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
What part of "I will not delete an article that Grawp frequently hits" do you not understand? I will contact Oversight for those as well, and I'll be damned if they ignore me. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 18:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Edits oversighted. I understand why you don't want to use your email address in re Wikipedia; if you see anything else that needs oversighting contact me with the diffs to the edits and I'll contact oversight. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 19:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again for your efforts, which did result in removal of the offensive material. (I did not intend for you to do anything to the article other than to seek help with removing that material from the editing history summaries; I understood what you were saying, but, as I am not an administrator and you are, I thought that you would be able to know better than I how best to deal with this situation, and it appears that you did. So, again, thanks.) --NYScholar (talk) 20:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Related: Is there anyway that an administrator can clean up the protection log, where the same blights remain: Protection log? Such material is not permitted anywhere in Wikipedia space. --NYScholar (talk) 03:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
That's not the protection log; that's the page log, and oversight is needed again. Unfortunately, I do not think Oversight will work with log actions. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 03:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
(Sorry; I did mean to type "page log"; I know it's not the protection log; that was a typographical error.) I don't know what can be done, if anything, but I thought I'd bring it to your attn. so that you can consult with other admins. re: it. --NYScholar (talk) 03:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I'd suggest asking at WP:VPT if something like this is possible; I have it watchlisted so that if something is indeed possible, I'll know. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 04:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again for the assistance. (I'll be offline.) --NYScholar (talk) 04:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Thank you for adding a redirect to Morag Bellingham as per my request. I am trying to clean up the Home and Away page and because there has been several deletions of character pages there are a few dead links. I'm trying to redirect these pages to the list of character page because there is relevant information about the characters there but there are a few pages that have been salted, so i was wondering if you could add the redirects to them for me, of if i have to make a request as i did at WP:RPP. I need redirects on the following pages.

Page links removed

If you can add those for me i would appreciate it, if i need to formally request it let me know. Ive tried to format it so you can just copy and paste the redirect code. Any issues just let me know. Thanks Printer222 (talk) 04:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Done; all pages redirect to that one now. I've removed the links due to concerns; they remain in the history. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 05:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Question

i have been looking at the page history of a Grawp account here and saw that on Feb 2 of 08 you tagged the account as such with the comment of bust. I am a little confused because either the timing is wrong or i as not an admin cant see the deleted contributions but if you tagged it back then why didn't you block it? I am a little confused and hopefully you can help. Thanks Roadrunnerz45 (talk 2 me) 07:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

It's possible that that one was unearthed in the Grawp CU when Grawp was harassing WP:D&D members and that we failed to notice it wasn't blocked. Until now, I thought it had been blocked. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 08:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
We can add this user to that list plus another one here and another here Um, can you check to see that all the tagged users have been blocked please:) Roadrunnerz45 (talk 2 me) 07:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm doing that right now; I've contacted WP:RFCU/IP; any more Grawps you see send there. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 07:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) here looks like this past 24 hrs hes going all out. Roadrunnerz45 (talk 2 me) 07:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

At this point, he's running out of options. We caught him on TOR a few weeks back, and he's running out of reserve accounts and IPs because Alison and Thatcher are hardblocking them as they find them. As I said, post it to WP:RFCU/IP, in the Ten-HUT! section. Alison or Thatcher will run the check pretty quickly. I'm still sifting through the CU-confirmed accounts. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 07:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

there has been an incident

Is there anything more recent, Xgmx? -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 18:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I've Taken a Page from You

Jéské, I've now taken your stance and will not sprotect my talk page. I see how when those channers do the whole talk page flood out of pure frustration :D. I'm sitting back and letting it come.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Even though I never sprot my talk page, I add a subpage that is semi'd where I can move legitimate discourse without it being disrupted. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 04:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Pokémon Platinum protection

He Jéské. Don't you think it's time to unprotect Platinum? Who knows, there might be more info about the game tomorrow. - Face 22:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I was on my way to do it. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 23:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. - Face 09:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Sorry 'bout the 4chan talk page joke, but I couldn't resist. I did do it in 2 edits in case someone decided it needed to be reverted, which to my surprise, took less than 15 minutes. I noticed you were an admin and if I could trouble you for a quick favor, I'd appreciate it very much--could you look over Capitol View/Stifft's Station, it's an article I created and after rewriting it, I'd like it reassessed. I think it may be up to B class standards now, but for the sake of transparency, don't want to rate it that way myself. Broooooooce (talk) 15:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Problem is, assessments aren't something I do, and, indeed, any user can do an assessment. Further, I don't know what the governing WikiProject's criterion for classes are, and I fear I'd foul it up. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 15:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Right on. Thanks anyway. Broooooooce (talk) 15:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Reading over the article, however, it looks superb. You did one hell of a job on it. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 15:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Appreciate that man. I'm fairly new to all of this and wanted to try and make something decent, but low importance in case it turned out a mess, which thankfully it didn't. Broooooooce (talk) 15:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


Could you do a favor?

IF you get a chance, could you possibly semi the articles of "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" & "Sonic Unleashed"? They've undergone CONSTANT vanadalizing. Thank you very much if you can. It'd be MUCH appreciated. Skeletal_SLJCOAAATR_Soul_Striker_of_Vengence (talk) 02:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd request at WP:RPP, if you haven't already. I'm leery about touching articles like that because people tend to follow me there. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 02:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Please don't revert my comment! I just wanted to say thank you for protecting the WWE Roster for us! I was begining to think no body would listen to our concerne :). #1 Metallica Fan Your Hancock 18:40, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
So was I. RPP seems to have fallen fallow the past few days... -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 19:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Jeske! I'll ask there. Skeletal_SLJCOAAATR_Soul_Striker_of_Vengence (talk) 19:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Scurrilous attack against you

In case you didn't know, you were attacked in this spurious comment. Corvus cornixtalk 19:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

That was in the midst of an argument at the spam blacklist, we patched things up since. (Confession: I didn't knoe he was Xgmx at the time or I would have blocked him.) -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 02:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with Master Hand

There are three users that have claimed at Super Smash Bros. (series) that, basically, any white glove that has been in a video game prior to the release of SSB is Master Hand. A couple users and I have repeatedly tried to explain to them that their claims are original research, but they're being very stubborn. And honestly, I think it's the same person using two usernames and his IP.
Can you look into this and try to straighten them out? And if I were to keep reverting his/their additions to the article, would 3RR still apply? Satoryu (talk) 19:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the wait. But to answer your questions:
  1. If you have evidence of a person using usernames disruptively, post a request for checkuser at WP:RFCU. I do not have the CU tool, so I can't help here if they're being disruptive.
  2. Reverting their OR is, unfortunately, not 3RR-exempt; it is, at best, a content dispute. I'll look into it. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 19:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Reading over it, I noticed that the whole thing just devolved into a fight between cavemen armed with cattails. Thread there archived as an unsalvageable train wreck. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 19:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

One of the users is contesting your decision. They keep removing the archive notice. -Sukecchi (talk) 01:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I was just going to say this but you edit blocked me :P Anyhow I don't think this user is going to take no for an answer and I think this is going to spill into 3RR. The Light6 (talk) 01:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
The thread should remain archived. When I archived it, it was turning disruptive and was producing more smoke than fire. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 02:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
