I tried to edit using my girlfriends computer and without logging in. A message came back that there is a block on IP address 24.70.95.204 for vandalism. The IP on this machine is 70.74.109.82. Why would the block affect this machine?

Greetings, Rodhullandemu. I'm a bureaucrat at Simple English Wikiquote, and someone has requested that they be granted AWB access. I see that you've been granting people access here on English Wikipedia, so you must know how to do it! Could you please tell me how? Although, I don't know whether we would have to set up a lot of complicated infrastructure for it in order to be able to grant access at Simple English Wikiquote.

Hi there. I notice that you have blocked me from the above page (M&GN Joint Railway). Looking at the links etc associated with the block notice, I gather I must be associated with someone who has been breaking Wiki rules. I have no idea who that might be. I have made a few corrections to the page, but quite some time ago, and I needed only to update a link to my FAQ page (change of Provider). You will note from the Bibliography that I am one of the few major sources for the subject. Is it possible to unblock me? Regards Nigel Digby ( talk) 11:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Rodhullandemu, Just came across this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Darkness_avails via my watchlist, and I gather it has been dealt with accordingly by administrators. It's way over my head, so can you give me just a couple of pointers so I can help out in future? For example, as it is obviously vandalism, or even worse, a direct attack against a person, I don't understand why it was only nominated for speedy deletion as opposed to being deleted right away. I suppose at your level of involvement at Wikipedia you must be accustomed to this sort of thing, but it's the first time I've come across such vehemence (not quite the right word, but...) and am totally out of my depth. -- Technopat ( talk) 11:52, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. There is an issue with a user and I am sure how to present it (as far as "noticeboard" wise) or how to handle it. I am asking for your help because you have dealt with this user before. KieferSuth1985Marx is continuing to make nonconstructive edits, particularity to the Madonna tour articles (the "Setlist" sections). I understand there is no guideline as to how to present a tour running order. However, in compliance with neutral point of view, I feel that there should consistency in style of all tour article relating to that artist. KS1985M will go through each tour article and revert the setlist to the original edit that he created, without any explanation. He or she has been blocked b/c of this numerous times yet they continue to make the same mistake. I am not sure if this is a conflict of interest or if he/she is doing this just to do it? At this point, it is getting rather annoying. On his talk page [1], I asked him to stop (after myself and several other editors have reverted his edits), to which he/she responds [2]. Do I feel this user should be blocked? Yes, however, the decision is not up to me. As I've stated before, I really do not know how to handle this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Rodhullandemu, I created two articles about two palestinian children were killed in the second intifada and someone put an afd template in the articles and they were deleted although only 3 users supported the deletion and 2 opposed. In Arabic wikipedia, articles are not deleted unless there is strong and reasonable support for deletion and I wonder wether this deletion is legitimate. If there is something I have to do to restore the articles plz tell me what it is because I still have no experience in english wikipedia. The articles are Iman Hijo and Mohammad Al-Bor'ey and the deletion was discussed here.Please also take a look on the articles in Category:Israeli casualties during the Al-Aqsa Intifada because I think they have similar contents to the articles I created. Thanks -- Osm agha ( talk) 18:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
If this is the policy here, the policy should be applied to all articles. I took a quick look on the article about Ayala Abukasis (which was nominated for deletion before) and I saw no differance between it and the articles I created. The Israeli-Palestinian war is a sensitive issue and english wikipedia should be aware of this conflict and it should try to be neutral: If articles about a palestinian victims were deleted, the articles about the Israeli victims must also be deleted. If this does not happen, english wikipedia will be accused of being unneutral -- Osm agha ( talk) 19:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Rod! I wrote a polite and amusing (well, I thought it was amusing) note, and my ISP lost it for me.
(Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise, because I'm now going to get to point quickly.)
I came across
Divine Mafa (I won't explain the detail) and my first thought was: "this guy isn't real; this is a hoax." (See also
talk:Divine Mafa). Then I found half-a-dozen entries in the Memphis media which suggested that either, he is a real person, or, this is an incredibly elaborate hoax. I guess he's real. But what I would like a second opinion on is: Is this guy notable? (Obviously, I have my doubts.) Thanks in advance,

I am not clear as to how referencing a song in this case could be a copyright violation, given that Dianne Heatherington owned the recording and the tribute site is estate-endorsed (via her widowed husband, who contributes to it). Since the record has not yet been released on CD and I am linking directly to her tribute site, which in turn references the MP3, I ask that you reconsider your position here.
I don't know how to prove the release of her version of "Helter Skelter" as a single other than through the discogs.com reference. This has been tagged as "possible spamming". I don't quite understand.
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts here.

HistoryTopics ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) - the normal edits on Monty and Clarke. David Underdown ( talk) 12:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. There is an issue with a user and I am sure how to present it (as far as "noticeboard" wise) or how to handle it. I am asking for your help because you have dealt with this user before. KieferSuth1985Marx is continuing to make nonconstructive edits, particularity to the Madonna tour articles (the "Setlist" sections). I understand there is no guideline as to how to present a tour running order. However, in compliance with neutral point of view, I feel that there should consistency in style of all tour article relating to that artist. KS1985M will go through each tour article and revert the setlist to the original edit that he created, without any explanation. He or she has been blocked b/c of this numerous times yet they continue to make the same mistake. I am not sure if this is a conflict of interest or if he/she is doing this just to do it? At this point, it is getting rather annoying. On his talk page [1], I asked him to stop (after myself and several other editors have reverted his edits), to which he/she responds [2]. Do I feel this user should be blocked? Yes, however, the decision is not up to me. As I've stated before, I really do not know how to handle this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Rodhullandemu, I created two articles about two palestinian children were killed in the second intifada and someone put an afd template in the articles and they were deleted although only 3 users supported the deletion and 2 opposed. In Arabic wikipedia, articles are not deleted unless there is strong and reasonable support for deletion and I wonder wether this deletion is legitimate. If there is something I have to do to restore the articles plz tell me what it is because I still have no experience in english wikipedia. The articles are Iman Hijo and Mohammad Al-Bor'ey and the deletion was discussed here.Please also take a look on the articles in Category:Israeli casualties during the Al-Aqsa Intifada because I think they have similar contents to the articles I created. Thanks -- Osm agha ( talk) 18:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
If this is the policy here, the policy should be applied to all articles. I took a quick look on the article about Ayala Abukasis (which was nominated for deletion before) and I saw no differance between it and the articles I created. The Israeli-Palestinian war is a sensitive issue and english wikipedia should be aware of this conflict and it should try to be neutral: If articles about a palestinian victims were deleted, the articles about the Israeli victims must also be deleted. If this does not happen, english wikipedia will be accused of being unneutral -- Osm agha ( talk) 19:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Rodhullandemu for your suggestion. I downloaded the latest version. I could not find Bangla wiki (bn) on wiki and project preference. Then I downloaded the code from svn and added bn language there. It was pretty easier than I thought it would be. Now I can edit bengali articles with AWB.

This person has become a real pest over recent days. He has picked up several bans but simply shifts IPs and repeats his vandalism.

Why remove the references to Diana Kyle and the filmic effect, both of which far from being "good faith" edits are 100% fact and can be backed up with Grange Hill's full archive of the series.
Hi Rod! I wrote a polite and amusing (well, I thought it was amusing) note, and my ISP lost it for me.
(Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise, because I'm now going to get to point quickly.)
I came across
Divine Mafa (I won't explain the detail) and my first thought was: "this guy isn't real; this is a hoax." (See also
talk:Divine Mafa). Then I found half-a-dozen entries in the Memphis media which suggested that either, he is a real person, or, this is an incredibly elaborate hoax. I guess he's real. But what I would like a second opinion on is: Is this guy notable? (Obviously, I have my doubts.) Thanks in advance,

I am not clear as to how referencing a song in this case could be a copyright violation, given that Dianne Heatherington owned the recording and the tribute site is estate-endorsed (via her widowed husband, who contributes to it). Since the record has not yet been released on CD and I am linking directly to her tribute site, which in turn references the MP3, I ask that you reconsider your position here.
I don't know how to prove the release of her version of "Helter Skelter" as a single other than through the discogs.com reference. This has been tagged as "possible spamming". I don't quite understand.
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts here.
Dreadarthur ( talk) 02:29, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Many thanks for your reasoning here. Upon reflection, I agree with you that the excised link has an apparent promotional dimension and is therefore not appropriate in the list of covers on this page; thanks also for reconsidering the discogs link.

Hi, I know this is ridiculous, but for some reason, while I can manage posting photos on pages, the infoboxes have me baffled. I'm just trying to find somebody who can show how to place a good photo from an infobox to a different part of the page, and how to put one Into an infobox. Currently, I'm attempting to place the photo from The Rutles infobox into another page, as well. I am hoping in the section with the same name, Rutles on the Ricky Fataar article. There should be some way... I'm an idiot, it's driving me insane. Can you help? I know you're busy... ?
