[edit] Re: Something different

Hi Sn0wflake - I must admit that this isn't really an area that I'm that well versed in dealing with, but I've made a note of it at WP:AN/I (probably better to have a comment there left by an outsider than one of the parties directly involved anyway) - feel free to comment on it, though. Trouble is it doesn't really count as vandalism - the editor seems to have a point to a very minor extent, but is definitely being overly zealous and highly un-civil about pursuing it. It almost qualifies for a Disputes Resolution issue, except that this seems to cover a wide number of pages and not be restricted to just the one instance. Grutness...wha? 23:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any chance of getting some help...

...with a certain anonymous editor? Two week ban is up and instantly it's the same tired stuff in Photoshopping, the Abandonware related articles (including making unencyclopedic changes to the disambiguation page for HOTU) and so on. Just thought I'd put the bug in your ear. Thanks for your time!

[edit] Followup

FYI, I have posted additional evidence at your ANI thread. --Elonka 23:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Since the ANI thread has been archived, I am responding to your question here. The way that Wikipedia works, Checkuser is not appropriate in this case. Checkuser is not to prove sockpuppetry, it's only a tool to be used in ambiguous cases. Look at the table at the top of WP:RFCU, you'll see what I mean. The proper way to prove sockpuppetry here was for me to post my evidence to ANI, which I did, but no one seemed interested in it.  :/ Do you think I should re-open the thread, to present more evidence? --Elonka 21:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I have compiled a list of the various anon IPs that he's been using to harass me over the last year. If he's willing to take the current block to heart and stop the harassment, I'm willing to consider the matter closed. But if he starts up again, I guess I'll have to get more aggressive about bringing out the evidence. --Elonka 21:52, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you following the discussion at User talk:216.165.158.7 ? --Elonka 17:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

You may wish to participate at this new ANI thread. FYI, --Elonka 01:04, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. BTW, do you use email? I tried the link but it doesn't seem to be activated. I could send you a list of the IPs is you'd like to take a look. --Elonka 02:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Sent, thanks.  :) --Elonka 02:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opeth

Opeth is progressive metal, there is no debating it, however I'll compromise by leaving the genre intact in exchange for fixing some poor grammar. Grevvvvv 18:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Content question

Hey Mark, new user to Wiki, and I had a few questions. I edited around two dozen pages, most with link additions to recent interviews with Modern Fix Magazine. I noticed most of my edits, aside from Heartless Bastards and Juggaknots were removed with a ‘spam’ mark.

At this point I would just like to make clear, I’m not upset about my edit retractions. In fact, it’s good to know the site is so well monitored. Obviously, the majority of my posts didn’t meet Wiki’s criteria for relevance, which is why I’m reaching out to you to get a more clear definition of what is allowed. I feel I could justify every edit & external link I made as not spam, but again, honestly a bit unsure on what is allowed, and what is considered spam. Bottom line, really like the site and its purpose, and just want to get MY head clear with the rules and not waste you or anybody else’s time.

For instance, the In Flames edit. This was a link to the interview, which was is also linked on the bands official site (http://www.inflames.com/main.html), and contained information that I as a fan hadn’t read about (like the part about how Anders, the vocalist, hates his live Tokyo Showdown album). Another edit I was unsure about was my A-Trak entry, an external link to his first cover feature in a printed magazine. Anyways, let me know when ya can. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dronester (talk • contribs) 22:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Issue?

What issue do you have with a very simple sentence that may save thousands of personhours of article formatting cleanup time? PS: Edit summaries like "wtf?" are not particularly helpful or civil... — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 05:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

D'oh! I totally didn't even notice that it was in there twice. The edits by someone else, I think Grutness, after your concisifying of the sentence moved it, and it looked like it'd been deleted when I skimmed the changes too fast, so I "restored" it. Gaaahhh... Sorry I bit your ankle here. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 02:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation (when to)

Quick questions, the page for Daryl Palumbo links to geometry when referencing Palumbo's side project of the same name. This seems like a perfect time to edit the geometry disambiguation page with the reference to the band, and correctly point the original reference to that page.... right?

[edit] Regarding an editor who is impersonating other editors

Hello Snowflake, recently I noticed that User:SilvaStorm made this edit to User talk:.NERGAL. Apparently SilvaStorm was impersonating an administrator and furthermore signed his fake ban message with my name. I have since replaced the signature on that message with an unsigned tag displaying his name. After looking through SilvaStorm's edit history I noticed that he has history of not following wiki guidelines/policies and he knows how to sign his name on messages, thus his fake ban message was done intentionally. I would have warned him myself of his actions but realized that an administrator could more effectively deal with the problem. --Leon Sword 03:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Ban notice?

Hi Mark, please do not worry about this situation - me and User:.NERGAL are actually friends. Recently he has had quite a few of his edits reverted and files deleted by User:Leon Sword, who has basically been picking on him. All I did was joke that he had been banned by making that message from Leon Sword, but .NERGAL knew it wasn't real as he could still edit pages and the fact that Leon Sword isn't an admin. If you look at this edit, you will see that .NERGAL changed the "preceding unsigned comment" signature back to my one, which he obviously wouldn't do if he thought it was for real. So please don't consider this 'disruptive behaviour', as neither me nor .NERGAL meant anything by it. -- SilvaStorm

Nope, that makes perfect sense, I too would be annoyed if someone was impersonating me! Regards. -- SilvaStorm

[edit] Help, hes lying

Hello, the perso who commmented above me is lying, he is tormenting me. Look at my talk and hes edited it. I have No idea who this person is and I am felling like my own page does not belong to me, please do something about this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by .NERGAL (talk • contribs) 08:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

What are you talking about?! I was saving you from getting into trouble with admins. You can't just blank your talk page, you have to archive it. Sn0wflake, I am friends with this .NERGAL so he is either joking around, or is angry at me... -- SilvaStorm
I have, thanks for understanding. -- SilvaStorm

[edit] MotR

Hello, just wondering why was the Max on the Rox article reverted back to an old version? Diamon 10:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Is it okay for you, if I change it back to what it was, but keep the "...well known heavy metal musician." there? Diamon 13:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question on an edit

Hey man, since you are my go-to sys0p i have a question on my edit for Trustkill, as you can see from the before and after I took out a lot of text but geez, the whole thing read like a press release and was OBVIOUSLY written by someone in the company. Was my edit correct, or should it be reverted back? I don't want to make something worse, i guess i would think that removing the bias, however the amount, is a good thing. I dunno. Let me know, thanks Dronester 05:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks. I just wanted to be sure. I definitely tried to pry any useful information but it was such a hyped press release, my guess is that it came from an already-written bio. All the info outside of that text chunk was pulled from their wiki guts, so it was mostly repetitive info anyways. Thanks again for the quick response. Dronester 21:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] interested in the Portuguese-speaking world

Hi. I'm Beth, known on Wikipedia as Learnportuguese. I am very interested in the Portuguese language and the Portuguese-speaking world. The whole concept of saudade is fascinating. If you want, chek out my user page and talk page and put a watch on both. I have very interesting discussions there.
