[edit] SeaWorld edit war

Thanks for your help dealing with the current sock puppeteer. The editor is going after the Disney articles, too, so we've definitely got our hands full. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 17:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

He's at it again ... waiting for a few more bits of his M.O. to appear before I add to the sock puppet case. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 18:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
The idea may be to semi-protect the articles. That would allow editing from all but anonymous accounts and new accounts (less than, say, 4 days old), which would be the best defense against this sock-puppet attack. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 21:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
The current consideration is to do a range-block, which would block all addresses with the first one or two components of the puppeteer's most-commonly-used IPs. To me, that seems like a bit too broad a response, but I'll leave that to the powers-that-be. They are aware of the situation, and admins are reviewing what to do next. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 22:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
He's on Sock Puppet #13 now ... I think higher-ups are starting to get the picture. Do yourself a favor, and read up on Wikipedia:3RR. If challenged on it, you should have cover because you are reverting edits made by a blocked user who is using sock puppets to evade the block. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 23:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Be aware of two separate discussions taking place on WP:AN/I regarding this user: here and here. At this point, I think reverting his or her edits and category changes again and again is adding to the perceptions of some administrators that this is a petty content dispute or edit war—and that all users involved are equally at fault. It might be more effective to explain your position in those discussions and hope an administrator will understand and take action. —Whoville (talk) 01:49, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SeaWorld photo

Thanks, SWF Trainer, for improving the captions I used on a couple of recent SeaWorld photos. I'm thinking of adding another photo to the article, and would be grateful if you would help me out with a good caption for this one. Tim Ross (talk) 13:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SW Orlando animal names

Hey there. I saw that you added the names of some of the animals to the article. I like the idea, but I have raised some concerns in the talk page that I think should be addressed. I haven't reverted anything, but I would like your assistance in improving this as much as we can. Thank you for your help. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shamu

I mostly got the information out of a leaflet - Seaworld should consider making it more clear. As you can probably tell, I am not a vandal, just someone who completely misunderstood. Have a nice day. asenine t/c 00:02, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
