Thanks for your message! And no need to thank me for working on this article -- I enjoy, in particular to bring it into shape together with you. I like your clear and carefully elegant phrasing. For the time being I respect your reluctance to follow the IUCN assessors' recommendation regarding the Catopuma-Pardofelis issue, the more so as I remember my own hesitance when reading the first genetic analysis reports.
The Grande Dame of cat science Kristin Nowell referred to Pardofelis temminckii when asked to identify the cat recorded by Ghimirey and Pal in June last year, and also in her recent article Cats on the 2009 Red List of Threatened Species (Autumn 2009 in Cat News). MSW3 on the other hand cannot reflect new findings and reappraisals due to the obvious limitation of a printed publication. But in an online media like Wikipedia we have the superb opportunity to present up-to-date information. Looking forward to your reply -- BhagyaMani ( talk) 14:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Unblock #2

Sorry to post this again, but every time I try to edit any page - except this page - this appears... my IP address truly is blocked:

Secure login You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia due to an autoblock affecting your IP address.


This is because someone using this internet address or shared proxy server was blocked. The ability of all users on this IP address to edit pages has been automatically suspended to prevent abuse by the blocked party. Innocent users are sometimes caught in an autoblock. It may be the case that you have done nothing wrong.

A user of this IP address was blocked by Vianello for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Planeshift rpg". The reason given for Planeshift rpg's block is: "Edit warring or violation of the [[WP:Three-revert rule|three-rever

This block has been set to expire: 04:35, 30 March 2010.

Note that you have not been blocked from editing directly. Most likely your computer is on a shared network with other people. What does this mean?

As on many websites, Wikipedia administrators occasionally block accounts and IP ranges that are deemed responsible for or related to problematic activity. You may be an innocent victim of collateral damage, whereby a block of some other activity has accidentally caused your account to be unable to edit pages. If your editing access has been blocked by mistake, it will be reactivated very quickly, as soon as you let an administrator know of the problem. The box above gives the information you will need.

What is a block?

A block is a measure used to protect Wikipedia from possible improper use, or modification in breach of editorial policies. Once blocks are over, they become history unless problems recur. Blocks can apply to a user account, an IP, or a range of IPs. A number of automated features identify unblocked usage which apparently should be blocked; these are known as autoblocks and can be quickly rectified if incorrect.

Most common cause of an autoblock

Your IP matches that used by another blocked account, or the software believes your account or IP is connected to another blocked account. Ask for further information and/or request unblocking. Due to the nature of some Internet service providers, automatic blocks may inadvertently affect people other than the person whose account was blocked.

Rectifying an autoblock Unblock request

If you are unjustly affected by this block, please copy-paste the following text to the bottom of your user talk page:

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Autoblock #1861694 lifted or expired.

Request handled by: TN X Man

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

An administrator will show up shortly to review the block once you have added the above template to the bottom of your talk page.

If this problem affects you repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers. This will reduce the chances of you being affected by future automatic blocks.

Hello. You recently reverted a picture in the doo wop article and i dont know whats wrong with being a doo wop band in a doo wop article. This band has granted me rights to upload pictures with most of the greatests american artists of this genre, i didnt find any before. Thanks to them, we now have pictures of kathy young, the quotations, the marcels, randy and the rainbows, john gummoe, etc, etc and there are more coming soon. I'd understand the vanity reason if there were any pics, but i think there's none apart the ones i have uploaded. Would it be any better if i place one of them with kathy young, randy safuto or any other american doowoper. I still think its a good picture because they are in a backstreet (street corner style) dressed the right way and they are a doo wop group. Rafax ( talk) 02:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Alis Lesley photo

Hey Seduisant I read the additional information you supplied on they photo of Lesley and unfortunately I think it still qualifies for speedy deletion. If you could say with certainty that the photo is in the public domain, then I would urge you to change the licencing information from the current fair-use rationale to a public domain one. However, as it stands we cannot assume the photo is in the public domain simply because we cant locate an owner; Yes, Era records may have closed down prior to 1985 but it is possible that assets like this photo were sold off or retained by some of the companies members. In the future if you find a PD image that you are certain of its status please do add it - until that time (or until the subject passes away) this photo is being used to illustrate a living subject and should be taken down on grounds of replacability.

Hi. This article certainly needs to go, but I'm afraid neither of your attempts to get rid of it works. WP:CSD#G4 only applies where the previous deletion was by AfD, not if it was a speedy or a PROD; and PROD cannot be used again once an earlier PROD has been removed, for whatever reason. Have a look at WP:DEL. The only way now for this one if to take it to AfD, which I have done here. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 11:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Cats

Hello Seduisant,

I have been thinking about making some changes to WikiProject Cats, and I was wondering if you might be able to help me or offer some suggestions. In the past months I have not been as active on Wikipedia as I once was and my watchlist has become so long that I often miss changes that are being made to the WikiProject Cats project page. Normally I like to greet any new participants and check the talk page to see if there are any concerns.

I am thinking about changing things and making my contact info more visible so that if people have any important questions, they can contact me directly. I hesitate to do this as I do not want to claim tsardom over WikiProject Cats; moreover, I know that will be times when I will be away from Wikipedia for weeks at a time, so I feel I would need some assistance. Essentially, I would like to set up some sort of WikiProject Cats small work group – a committee or council – and having noticed your work on Cat articles, I thought you have the right kind of technical know-how and might be interested to be involved.

My first aim is just to make WikiProject Cats more accessible to new participants so that we can retain interested members. A more distant aim I have in mind (if I ever find enough time and energy (I have a tendency to be a bit of a WikiSloth)) is to start periodic newsletters to encourage involvement. If you have any interest in being more involved in WikiProject Cats, know of someone who is, or would just like to send me your opinions, give me a ring!

Hello, TWT, and thank you for thinking of me in this regard. I've become less active here over the last few months, chiefly because my life (job, twins) has really gotten in the way of Wikiing. I'm doing maintenance on the Felidae articles and not much else. But since you've been a stalwart contributor for a long time, and because this is such a sweet idea, of course I'll help. (And anyway, I owe you one for the Barnstar last year.) I'll be happy to contribute as time allows. From one Userbox poacher to another, regards. -- Seduisant ( talk) 01:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Sources for "notable residents"

Hello Seduisant. I've finally made a Wikipedia account and am starting out by trying to contribute to articles of interest to me. While perusing the Westwood, Massachusetts page, I've noticed that there are several "Notable Residents" with no source attributions for them. For example, Dicky Barrett is listed as a notable resident, even though his bio says he was from Norwood and currently lives in Marshfield. What are the guidelines for this? Should those just be deleted without attributions? Thanks for the help-you seem very experienced and have edited a lot on the page before, so you are knowledgeable on the issue.

(And anyway, I owe you one for the Barnstar last year.) I'll be happy to contribute as time allows. From one Userbox poacher to another, regards. -- Seduisant ( talk) 01:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Sources for "notable residents"

Hello Seduisant. I've finally made a Wikipedia account and am starting out by trying to contribute to articles of interest to me. While perusing the Westwood, Massachusetts page, I've noticed that there are several "Notable Residents" with no source attributions for them. For example, Dicky Barrett is listed as a notable resident, even though his bio says he was from Norwood and currently lives in Marshfield. What are the guidelines for this? Should those just be deleted without attributions? Thanks for the help-you seem very experienced and have edited a lot on the page before, so you are knowledgeable on the issue.
