[edit] John O'Hara

Why this reversion? I didn't check out all of the links, but they look like a pretty good bibliography on the topic. One was an online link to an article we already reference. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The IP was adding a bundle of vandalism at the very same time, and I had no confidence in the integrity of the edits, even if it looked proper at first blush. It could have been subtle introduction of inappropriate sites. --Nlu (talk) 07:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: OS X Port

I have to say that's something I haven't really taken into account as I don't have much experience with Macs. I'm not entirely sure how Macs handle Windows executables, but the app is based on the VB6 platform and is dependent upon the standard Windows infastructure (ADVAPI31.DLL, GDI32.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL, RPCRT4.DLL, USER31.DLL), standard VB6 framework (MSVBVM60.DLL, MSVCRT.DLL), and OLE automation (OLE32.DLL, OLEAUT32.DLL). All of these files are fairly standard windows libraries (especially in XP), and I'm not sure how these dependencies would be handled by Macs. I'm also not sure how it handles OCX dependencies and how the app would interact with the mac rendention of explorer and java. I'll look into it a bit more and get back to you, but right now I don't have much info on the topic. Sorry. AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:PoolGuy

It's appearent that he won't stop creating these socks, is there anything else we can do about this? --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 17:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

My last CheckUser request got rejected for being insufficiently specific, but I am thinking about refiling it. It might be better coming from you, however, and on this request I think we can ask that the person conducting the CheckUser to go ahead and block the IP for a week, to stop the sock creation for a week. Then, after a week expires (at which time PoolGuy's block will also expire), an RfC or an RfAr can be filed. Thanks for staying on this case. --Nlu (talk) 18:01, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Well, he's pointing out that WP:SOCK doesn't apply to him since the block wasn't "legitamate". At this point, I unprotected his user talk page as a measure against the sockpuppets. It doesn't look like anybody else is helping out with our situation at AN, and I'm hoping he'll get other's attention with this. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 04:33, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Jonathan 7

Hello. This user's words were, in part:

"Still, you decided to make an enemy out of Brandt, and considering what Jimmy Wales, SlimVirgin etc have got from Brandt and his allies, you can consider the rest of your Wikipedian life to be a living hell. Have a nice day." [2] (emphasis added)

While this comment is sufficiently trollish in and of itself, I also noticed that this it occurred shortly after I blocked User:Daniel Brandt (red link — page has been deleted) for his own legal threats, which ultimately led another admin to block Brandt indefinitely. If Jonathan_7 is not Daniel Brandt, then he's somebody who's only here to act on Brandt's behalf, which is sufficient reason to block anyway IMO, as Brandt's only goals here are spin control on his biography, and threats/harassment toward anyone who stands in his way. If you see things differently, let me know. — Apr. 6, '06 [00:35] <freakofnurxture|talk>

Understood. Thanks for the explanation. --Nlu (talk) 05:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

You have heard faulty evidence, here is what I have posted at Freakofnurture's talk page:


Your quote is as follows:

Firstly, if you honestly believe that I meant the emphasised comment literally, then I would suggest that you gain a spine. It was a joke, heard of them? I was actually quoting from Mick Foley, and I was simply implying that by pissing Brandt off, well you would now be swamped under a wave of legalese and that by now being on his Hive Mind page you would now face heavier opposition from those who are allies to people such as Brandt, Blu Aardvark, Zordrac, MSK etc (and please stop with these ridiculous claims that they are all the same person. If you could be bothered to get off your arse and do some proper investigation, you would find that their IPs are several miles apart so therefore unless Brandt is into extensive travelling and changing his name, your accusations bear no weight at all). I have sent you two emails in which I disclosed my personal information, and yet on my user page I am still accused of being a sockpuppet for Brandt. Here it is AGAIN.

Jonathan David Milne Wakefield, West Yorkshire United Kingdom

And I'm not someone who's acting on Brandt's behalf, due to the fact I've never even met or had any form of conversation with the guy. Amazing as it may seem Freakofnurture, in this world people are able to have their own highly independent opinions. I ain't a member of Wikipedia Watch and I know none of the notorious banned people, but nonetheless my opinions are my own and I agree with their views. Is that such a horrible thing for you to comprehend? That someone can disagree with your views and not even be associated with those they agree with? I find it outrageous that you banned me simply because I ventured a vote to Delete Brandt's article. What, is free speech unallowed now?

My advice to you, Freakofnurture, is to grow up. How old are you exactly? However old you are, it's still highly immature that you have constantly sought to vilify me and use false evidence to back up your claims, whereas I have plenty of evidence to present to Mr. Wales of how corruptly you have been using your powers.

I have absolutely no interest in fighting with you further, leave me alone

Which part of "I'm not a sockpuppet for Brandt" do you not understand? Yeah, it's an open proxy. And only one person has the password to access my Jonathan account. That would be me. Jonathan David Milne. Not Daniel Brandt, not Zordrac, not Blu Aardvark, not Mistress Selina Kyle, Jonathan David Milne. There are two IPs I use, one is registered to a coleege called Outwood Grange, and the other is registered to my laptop. That's it, but it's still within the Wakefield, West Yorkshire region. That's WAKEFIELD, WEST YORKSHIRE, not SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. Just in case you don't appear to have any grasp of Geography, the latter is in AMERICA, the former is in the UNITED KINGDOM. Got that? I'm in the United Kingdom, so I ain't Brandt. Unban me or I will deliver my case to Wales, and then I will watch you being stripped of the admin powers that you abuse so well. Your choice. 86.129.27.50 11:09, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I can't tell if this is a threat to me, or a threat to Freakofnuture, but threats are unacceptable. And, in any case, open proxies are blockable indefinitely onsight no matter who's using them or what is being posted from them, according to Wikipedia policy. I am not going to disturb Freakofnurture's block. --Nlu (talk) 14:18, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] no prob

No prob on the vandal reverting. It was pretty offensive. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 05:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 216.56.61.66

It may be time for another block for this vandal, at your discretion. Thx Royalbroil 20:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

It's a shared IP, so no. I added a new {{test4-n}}, and let's wait to see what happens. Thanks for your diligence. --Nlu (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non- Fraudulent

No, that was me requesting the unblock, and thank you. I do edit Wikipedia from school often in my free time. The computer is registered to Pequannock Township Schools, but I go to school in quite another district, so I found it annoying to be blocked for somewhere else's vandalism.

OK, thanks. --Nlu (talk) 21:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Vandal

Hi. I would like to draw your attention to the actions of the same vandal, who was vandalizing my user page. I did not care much, but now this guy has gone too far. He’s apparently got a registered name here, Hetoum, but is using sockpuppets, which is against the rules. If you look at my user page history, he posted a message at another user's talk page from the same IP address (User:207.69.139.12) that he used to vandalize my user page, and said that his name on Wiki was Hetoum. See diff: [3]

Right now he uses IP address User:209.158.161.194 to vandalize the article Khojaly massacre and for trolling on the talk page of that article. He also edits his user page from the same address. I know it may not be a proof, but could you please keep an eye on this guy? I can forget about vandalism against me, but vandalizing such controversial topics and posting offensive nonsense should not be tolerated. Regards, Grandmaster 12:07, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

209.158.161.194 is a shared school IP, and 207.69.139.12 is an ISP IP that I believe, but am not completely sure, is also a shared IP. I'm going to warn the second, but there is no ground to do anything as to the first. Let me know or report to WP:AIV if vandalism resumes. Thanks. --Nlu (talk) 15:37, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I also added warnings on User talk:Hetoum and placed {{sockpuppet}} tags on User:Hetoum. This should curb things considerably. Again, if they do not, let us know. --Nlu (talk) 15:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I hope that will be enough. I’ll keep in touch if there will be any problems. Take care. Regards, Grandmaster 15:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

Hi. You just blocked User:Zarbon for a week. He has signed out and is back as IP User:68.237.197.238 (still vandalizing Brendan Filone and signing his discussion on Talk:List of characters from The Sopranos as Zarbon). Can you please extend the block to include the IP address? Thanks very much. Kafziel 16:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think a block on the IP is justified yet. I've added a warning. --Nlu (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
He admitted he was Zarbon in his latest post to the talk page. He's just getting around the block. Kafziel 16:55, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I know, but no edits have come after my latest warning. I still do not believe a block is justified at this point. --Nlu (talk) 17:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep, I see what you did. That's cool. I would much rather see him settle down than get banned (although I will be watching the contribs). Thanks for your help. Kafziel 17:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Good job, NLU. Keep giving him warnings and letting him hang himself. At what point do bans become lifetime? Does he have to admit betting on baseball or something? user:Wesleymullins

He's back, and vandalizing in earnest under that IP now. Kafziel 20:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Xaosflux blocked it. --Nlu (talk) 21:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Since it's confirmed here that User:149.68.168.147 is, in fact, Zarbon, shouldn't his week-long block be reset starting from his most recent attempt to bypass it? Kafziel 22:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

He is still doing it. [4]. Come on - at what point do all these sockpuppets get banned? Nobody is replying to the checkuser request, nobody is resetting his block or blocking any of his sockpuppets... please help. Kafziel 18:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I'll reset the block. As for the most recent case of vandalism, please report on WP:AIV, as I am at work and can't review the entire situation right now. --Nlu (talk) 18:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mulatto Disparagement

Hello NLU, my reply is beneath yours. I trust we can commit to a professional and rational set of exchange. Please see my perspective in all this when you read, and please check out the history. I do very much so, confirm my words. Thank you.

Message from Nlu Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. --Nlu (talk) 04:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

liberalpunt(talk)

That is hypocrtical because each of those links are links to other people's personal websites and groups. The page suggested for mulatto's give mulatto's a resource to not only convene but also learn genuine perspectives. If I am not allowed to post a website that is more than resourceful yet, someone from the "High Toned" Club who does not even have PUBLIC access to his/her (Personal Site) then clearly there is an issue here and quite ironically a sense of biasm. You can not give me a good reason why X-Plicitely Mixed's Mulatto website can be there but opinionated forums (many of which aren't even accessible) are allowed too. If you continue and support Creoleme's constant editing of the link to X-Plicitely Mixed's Mulatto site, I will bring up a dispute and personally contact Wikipedia myself (Call them, etc, the whole 9 yards). X-Plicitely Mixed's Mulatto site is not commercial, do you see any products sold? Clearly not, nor is it anyone's personal website, yet you will allow someone to state their name on the link directing to a mulatto website? I have no problem letting Creoleme post his biased board (as it would seem) but each time he delete's one of the most resourceful mulatto websites then I delete his. Sure we can both have our links there but he is not being fair, I am willing to however. Not fair, and again if this persists I will file a dispute, or you can; either way I have the history saved. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liberalpunt (talk • contribs) .

That "somebody else has his/her spam too!" is not an excuse for posting spam links. I don't have the time to track down all spam links and delete them; I can, however, much more easily see as edits come in to see whether the added links are themselves what I would consider spam pursuant to WP:SPAM. If they are, I remove them and warn the person who added them. Please stop. --Nlu (talk) 14:13, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question.

Hello. Yesterday after you gave me a warning for vandalism, I asked you a legitimate question about that warning on my talk page. You then deleted the question, so I came and asked you about it on your talk page here. You deleted that and blocked me. Wikipedia states that it is good to address any sort of questions like the one I was asking on a talk page, which is what I did, I was not trying to be difficult like you seem to think. In any case, asking a question on a talk page does not seem like a good reason to block someone, if you have a problem with my asking a question you could have explained why you felt it was inappropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.30.34.39 (talk • contribs) .

You were acting disingenously, and I felt that the question itself was not only not legitimate, but was intended to be trolling. I had no intent to respond in that case. --Nlu (talk) 14:15, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Song Mingdi

Hi Nlu, Mingdi's murder should be in Hans Bielenstein, “The Six Dynasties, Vol.1,” Bulletin of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities 68 (1996). This work is in turn based on Nan shi, Song shu, and so on. I will check the reference--I do not have the book now and was going by memory. If I find definite proof I'll let you know, otherwise your changes stand. Apeman 20:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

All right, thanks. It's just that it seems to come out of the blue, because I don't recall seeing it in Song Shu (although I am less familiar with it than I am Zizhi Tongjian, which certainly gave no hint whatsoever that Emperor Ming was murdered). Could it be that he was thinking of Emperor Wen (who certainly was murdered -- by his own son)? --Nlu (talk) 04:41, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of Azerbaijan

Hi. We are having similar problems with users using sockpuppets and anonymous IPs to introduce POV edits to History of Azerbaijan. The registered users Sampa and Peyman.a are apparently sockpuppets. The article has been reverted 4 times today to the older POV edit, thus undoing all the recent changes and introducing strong POV views. I don’t have grounds to file a 3RR complaint, because the edits were made twice from an anonymous account, and twice by Sampa, but something should be done to stop this. This article has been vandalized this way for a couple of months already. Could you please have a look at it, and keep it under control, if possible? Grandmaster 20:56, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Right now there isn't enough, really, I think, but I would advise filing a request for CheckUser. If the CheckUser reveals that the IP is the same person as Sampa and/or Peyman.a, then I think that'd be ground for a 3RR block. --Nlu (talk) 22:41, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Done. I filed a request, let's see what happens. The article got protected too. Thanks for your assistance. Grandmaster 06:17, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bob dylan talk revert

[5] why did you do the revert? i guess i mostly dunno what implicit means in this context SECProto 15:29, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

It's an attack against others who disagree with him. This multi-IP troll has such a pattern of such conduct. Look at the history of Bob Dylan and Adolf Hitler and look for edits that have the edit summaries including "ROHA". --Nlu (talk) 15:56, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
I know the guy. im hesitant to call him a troll. he is very opinionated and i think he's german (he makes a bunch of edits over on the de.wikipedia) but hesitant to call him a troll. (maybe he is with his edits on adolf hitler - i havent looked ). how was that specific message an attack? SECProto 17:04, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
It's an implied statement that other people don't care about the truth. I view that as a (veiled, yes, but still present) personal attack. --Nlu (talk) 18:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
would it have been a personal attack if it had been someone else who said it? SECProto 02:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
It might. The person's history has to be taken into account, I think, when interpreting his/her comments. --Nlu (talk) 05:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't think it was an attack either. A pointless rambling maybe, but no attack. Now that it's been reverted, I won't argue for bringing it back, because a talk page isn't the place for something like that, but I don't think you should have done it in the first place. --Nathan (Talk) 18:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Well, with the history that roving IP had (and that IP has indicated in the past that he would not abide by WP:NPA and WP:3RR), I believe that removing it was correct, but I can certainly see your point. --Nlu (talk) 05:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe this is a newbie at all. Take a look at his/her contributions. The very first contributions indicated an acquaintance with Wikipedia rules and a deliberate attempt to obfuscate them.

I'm glad to see that you've tagged all those articles drawn from Romance of the Three Kingdoms as possible fiction. I'd mentioned the problem (see Talk:Cai Zhong and User talk:Darin Fidika), but the user doesn't seem to be getting it yet. I don't know enough Chinese history to judge fact from fiction in that area, so I didn't want to do anything drastic. The user did answer me once; see User talk:Nagle, so he can be communicated with. You might want to try again.

Usually Wikipedia gets fancruft from popular culture. Getting it from Yuan Dynasty literature is unusual, and promising. Please try to encourage this user into writing usable articles, rather than forcing him off Wikipedia. Thanks. --John Nagle 17:28, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Your last reply on my talk page (User talk:Nagle) was, I think, intended for User talk:Darin Fidika. I don't think he reads my talk page. Thanks. --John Nagle 21:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I realize that, but I decided to put it there because it was a direct response to what he wrote you -- and also, I put it there on the odd chance he'll read and respond to it. Feel free to remove it if you wish. --Nlu (talk) 21:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I put "To Darin Fidika" in front of it, which takes care of the problem. Thanks. --John Nagle 21:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three Kingdoms

Hello, I noticed you said on my talk page that you were going to rank my Three Kingdoms profiles as "fictional". The reason to why you cannot find any information is the fact that I attain my knowledge through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms video game. Just wanted to tell you this so you don't start labeling actual history as being fictional.

Thanks.

~Darin Fidika

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is fictional and not "actual history," and even more so is the game. Please do not confuse fiction with fact. --Nlu (talk) 01:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you indeed are right. However, the profiles that I make are based off history, since I very much doubt that Koei would put in information into their games that are not really known. So you need not worry.

~Darin Fidika

As I already pointed out, they were totally wrong on Liu Shao. Again, please follow the guidelines that I mentioned and treat them as fiction. I don't want to do it, but if you continue to put in misinformation, I will be forced to block you. --Nlu (talk) 02:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Hi Nlu, can you please help me out with the situation at the Armenian Genocide page? Some user is inserting obvious POV and isn't really discussing things that much. Thanks. —Khoikhoi 05:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I've protected the page -- I realize that the version might not be the one you like, but I think I have to do so to stay even-handed. Try to see if the new user will discuss. If not, I'll try unprotecting again at that point. --Nlu (talk) 05:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. —Khoikhoi 05:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
