I think this must be the Wikipedia equivalent of "buy one, get the second half price"? One Night In Hackney 303 14:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Allison, I was wondering if you could perform a checkuser for me. On August 29 of this year, I reverted all changes made by 128.164.214.189 (originating out of George Washington University) starting with Neal Anderson and ending with Steve Spurrier. All of these edits were exactly same, adding Category:University of Florida alumni to the pages where a sub-category of this, Category:Florida Gators football players was already present. I explained this to the user on his/her's talk page. Now, on September 28 (last Friday), this exact same edit pattern began. This time the first user to make the edits was 128.164.215.188, also registered to GWU. Then, it appears that this same user created 4 different usernames within a matter of an hour or so. All of the edits made under these usernames were exactly the same (adding Category:University of Florida alumni to articles already categorized as Category:Florida Gators football players, including many pages I reverted on August 29 and informed the user about). Here are the usernames/IPs and the times the edits are made - if you check out the contributions for each username, you'll notice that each new username was created to categorize a separate block of the category with (i.e. they're in alphabetical order). I'm not sure if this was just to throw me off or for some other reason:
Thanks. Pats1 T/ C 16:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alison,
I'm looking for some advice please, as I guess I am doing something wrong. I have a community based website which offers news and local information about Cork. Therefore I genuinely believe is of relevance to both people of Cork and people wishing to visit Cork. However I received a message to stop adding my external link to the Cork pages. Please can you advise on the correct approach.

Hi Alison, would you mind protecting User:Kyoko/Esperanza essay? I had been thinking of deleting it (when it was in its old location of User:Kyoko/Sandbox5) but after getting some comments today on it, I've decided to leave it up for now.
Anyway, would you mind move and edit-protecting it? It's not something I plan on editing again, and the only foreseeable change I might make to it would be possibly to delete it. If I don't plan on editing it, no one else needs to either. Thank you! -- Kyok o 00:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey there Alison. First of all, great work on your requests for page protection. You recently denied to protect Wi-fi and I just wanted to ask you to please take another look as I'm sure you'll see there really is a lot of vandalism going on there. Please help us out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carterdriggs ( talk • contribs) 00:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, Ali. Instead of the now-standard greeting card message, I'm thanking people straight up. I was nominated by two great wiki-friends, and was supported by a list of great and established editors, including you! It certainly sets the bar very high on expectations, so I'll be diligent in fulfilling them. So, a truly thank you for your comments in my request, and hope to work with you in the future. If I have any doubts or questions, I hope I can count on you for counsel and support. Things like resolving controversial discussions, or questions like "what does that delete button do?" :P Thanks again!! - Mtmelendez ( Talk| UB| Home) 10:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

(de-indent). I'm OK in principle with 1RR, but am concerned about whether it is appropriate to pre-empt arbcom (see my reply to SirFozzie on my talk). If we all agree on 1RR, I think we should notify arbcom and at least give them the possibility to tell us to "hang on". But we can't go on with this cycle of the two sides striding into edit wars and then demanding admin involvement to unravel punish the other side for the collective failure to avoid conflict.
BTW, Alison, your reply to ONIH about BigDunc is spot-on. I had been groping towards a similar conclusion as I read it all, but you put it perfectly (though of course TU was also way out of order in revert-warring). -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 17:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
The girl who "doesn't" get involved in Irish articles, can you tell me what I did that needs you to warn me on my talk page after I had recieved one from BHG, I can read and dont need to be told twice. I removed unsourced material from the article TU is well aware how to reference articles but he was misquoting refs as pointed out by ONIH and relying on a blog for a ref. So are we just supposed to leave these claims indefinitly? What ever happened to BE BOLD. I reverted the article twice after the changes I made and so as not to get blocked I stopped and was unable to put in any refs to this article which is now protected. And could you tell me what TU has done constructively to the article since my changes accept revert? BigDunc 16:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I had stopped before your warning BHG but TU carried on regardless I asked him not to and so did Padraig but he choose to ignore all 3 warnings which he has got away with. If you look at talk page TU has been asked numerous times to provide sources which he has refused to. But thanks for your impartiallity on this matter if only all admins where like you. BigDunc 17:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Alison you still have not told me what I have done wrong to get a warning from you, must the tags stay for a set time a day, a week, a month or indefinitly he has been asked by me and other editors to provide sources and he hasn't. So what would you recommend I should have done on this issue not remove the unsourced material and links to sluggerotoole's blog. I reverted twice and stopped, my last edit was at 13:58, October 2, 2007. BHG gave a warning at 14:14, 2 October 2007. I still had not touched the article and then you pop up at 15:24, 2 October 2007 almost an hour and a half after I had stopped editting and an hour and ten minutes after BHG had warned me WHY?

A few months ago, you worked with Elipongo to handle a persistant link spammer, Special:Contributions/202.41.187.247, eventually leading to a lock on the page and a temporary block on the user. Ze's back, adding the same URLs to the same article and using several IPs and a registered name to have a "discussion" on the talk page (details are there).
Should I go through WP:SSP or can you cut hir off without all of that?

Do those have to be closed, the plainlinks ones? I haven't closed the one on my page or my talk page (because inevitably someone will type below it, instead of above it, lol) and I never saw a problem. Just wondering, because I told Flyguy he didn't have to close it if he didn't want to, lol. I can see doing it on userpages, but I've got an open div tag on my talk page and so far (cross fingers) it hasn't been of any issue, lol. Am I making a faux pas?

hi Ali, I noticed that even though I gave a very strong argument for retaining Commonwealth postal orders it was deleted.

Hi Alison! I've noticed you're quite active on RFPP, so I was wondering if you could help me. I recently responded to this request by protecting D. James Kennedy, but I received a complaint for having protected due to an edit war, when (according to this editor, at least) there wasn't one. I replied that I'm fairly sure I protected according to policy, but that I'd ask someone with more experience at WP:RFPP (i.e. you :-) ). Your input would be helpful. · AndonicO Talk 01:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

This wasn't meant to undo your protection; it was actually a protection conflict. At any rate though, that protection conflict is the least of my worries; the other unprotections I did were a huge mistake.

Dear Allie: I had no idea about your history of depression. I also take medication. In fact, when I had a lapse in my health insurance (my fault, mostly) in '06, was when I initially got so out of control that I ended up being, well, you know, banned (although I still believe that the punishment was unduly harsh).
Anyway I really thought you had it all together, and I know you have a child, and a job and all that erudition and a polyglot, as well. so it's amazing that you have functioned at all, even if that means interacting with low-lifes and lackeys. I am not sucking up. I have no reason to.
I don't know (and I don't want to know) how
Vintagekits found out, so much for the tolerance of Fenians that their enemies can expect. I have long been of the opinion that he should be banned indefinitely from Wikipedia as I am sure you know. He is worse than I ever was.
Anyway if you want to respond do so on your talk page (I can't give away all my secrets can I?), but it's not necessary. I hope that as my worthy Czech-Irish-Catholic-atheist-anime-loving adversary you get better. It's good that those Silicon Valley companies tend to have very good benefits. RMS.

Hi, thanks for your work on the article. I rewrote most of it a while ago, with rather heavy reliance on Wolff's book. That is probably why there are too few references.

Alison, perhaps you can help me figure out what would be an appropriate warning for K743snx, who has now placed a POV tag on 1981 Irish hunger strike four separate times (see [ [12]]) without ever offering any explanation of where said POV is to be found. He has, so far, received no warnings on his talk page. I looked in vain for a specific warning for such activity. A simple vandalism warning does not seem appropriate, but clearly he needs a "talking to," as Mr. Grady would say. Thanks, as always, for your time.

hi Alison,
firstly my apologies for undoing the 'this article is in dispute' sign that you placed on the named article, i didnt mean to undo it and i dont know how to redo it.
also i just wanted to say that much of the article is fraudulant. i have again made some changes to it and made additional comments on the discussion page which show many of the irregularities in it, eg it states that just after a knee transplant the bishop went on a mountain climbing holiday. this is illogical since anyone who has such an operation couldnt even climb a stairs afterwards.
it is obvious that someone is using wikipedia to vent their own personal vendetta for whatever reason they see fit. however i believe that the article should not be sensationalised, but rather factual. also i would like to point out that the Bishop is now in perfect health, and i have personally witnessed this several times in the last few weeks.

I cannot understand your position on this. The entire section on Amnesty is from a public interview - there is not one word of editorialising or comment in it. How could someone's own words be libellous? This is ridiculous. If the entry on Gordon Brown quoted him as saying the reason he didn't call an election had nothing to do with the polls would that be slander.

Dear Alison, first off: I could fall in love with you from your lovely page design and your cute picture and your biting! The reason I came here is that I would like to edit the pedophilia article. I want to fix the broken Bernard 1982 reference, add the term teleiophilia to the related terms section and insert a new section on the causes of pedophilia since I have found three interesting scientific articles that should be noted.

To ensure this gets put to bed once and for all, I have requested explicit clarification from ArbCom. My concern is that an ambiguously worded proposal does pass (or even does not pass) and we are then left with differing interpretations on what ArbCom said on the issue and end up back at square one. Vk has requested I not post on his talk page, so I am not going to notify him. If, in the unlikely event he doesn't spot my request, could you draw his attention to it as it is only fair he be aware. Thanks, and I hope you are well. Rockpocke t 18:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, on a RC Patrol a few days ago, I saw the following article created: Diabetes and heredity. It's a TOTAL mess. It reads mostly like a term paper, its loaded with original research, it mainly references other Wikipedia pages. Since the Diabetes mellitus article already covered ALL of the relevent information quite well, I redirected the page to Diabetes mellitus#Genetics. My redirection was reverted twice. Now, the article has the POTENTIAL to be a worthwhile article, and the person who created the article is determined to keep their own text there ( WP:OWN anyone). If we're going to keep the article, we might as well have a GOOD article about the subject. I saw that you were listed on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Participants list as an endocrinology person and I thought of asking you to take a look at this article and see what you think, since 1) it seems to match your interest 2) I know NOTHING about this subject 3) I knew you from working with you at Wikipedia before and 4) (most importantly) your name was first on the list. Could you please see what, in your opinion, can be done with the article Diabetes and heredity? I would not be averse to cleanup, and was only doing the redirect since the article was a mess, and I know nothing about the subject... Thanks a bunch! -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 03:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Alison: don't you find it ironic that you talk of your disgust of "rock throwers" and "flag warriors", and yet you seem to be the champion of at least two of them - one of whom has just shown you their obvious POV by boasting about how many IRA members (surely that should read "volunteers", eh?) have been on the "main space" in four days?
Perhaps you, blinded as you seem to be by your little fan club who come running to you every time somebody upsets their little campaign to remove the flag of Northern Ireland from Wikipedia, you have somehow failed to notice the work that others have put into Wikipedia - and not just to members of terrorist organisations either. -- Mal 00:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello Alison, I would like help understanding why you would deny my request for a semi-protect on the page. My reasons for making the request were as follows:
I may be wrong, which is highly likely, but the purpose of Wikipedia is to maintain a public encyclopedia. Denying Anon's to edit an article for a short period, especially an article that is not typical for every day use, does not present a major inconvenience to readers or users as a whole. I would be curious in gaining a better understanding of this policy and your reasonsing. Cheers. -- Storm Rider (talk) 05:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alison. The article was low intensity, but high-controversy. It's been the biggest single issue in Australian politics for nearly 2 years now. And I had reason to suspect that Joe Hockey's ministerial staff were watching the article and taking opportunities to subtly whitewash. Given the high importance of the article overall, POV-inserting like this [21] [22] would likely gain unfavourable attention if left to remain for long periods.

Thought it hasn't been discussed much, the previous reverter stopped reverting the unprotected Twelver template, so I think it might be safe to unprotect this one as well. Tell me any concerns you might have about that. The only active non-banned person involved in that template, Sa.vakilian, upon me asking what we could do to improve it and get it unprotected replied "Salam.

Hi Allison, I was wondering if you could perform a checkuser for me. On August 29 of this year, I reverted all changes made by 128.164.214.189 (originating out of George Washington University) starting with Neal Anderson and ending with Steve Spurrier. All of these edits were exactly same, adding Category:University of Florida alumni to the pages where a sub-category of this, Category:Florida Gators football players was already present. I explained this to the user on his/her's talk page. Now, on September 28 (last Friday), this exact same edit pattern began. This time the first user to make the edits was 128.164.215.188, also registered to GWU. Then, it appears that this same user created 4 different usernames within a matter of an hour or so. All of the edits made under these usernames were exactly the same (adding Category:University of Florida alumni to articles already categorized as Category:Florida Gators football players, including many pages I reverted on August 29 and informed the user about). Here are the usernames/IPs and the times the edits are made - if you check out the contributions for each username, you'll notice that each new username was created to categorize a separate block of the category with (i.e. they're in alphabetical order). I'm not sure if this was just to throw me off or for some other reason:

Hi Alison,
I'm looking for some advice please, as I guess I am doing something wrong. I have a community based website which offers news and local information about Cork.

(de-indent). I'm OK in principle with 1RR, but am concerned about whether it is appropriate to pre-empt arbcom (see my reply to SirFozzie on my talk). If we all agree on 1RR, I think we should notify arbcom and at least give them the possibility to tell us to "hang on". But we can't go on with this cycle of the two sides striding into edit wars and then demanding admin involvement to unravel punish the other side for the collective failure to avoid conflict.
BTW, Alison, your reply to ONIH about BigDunc is spot-on. I had been groping towards a similar conclusion as I read it all, but you put it perfectly (though of course TU was also way out of order in revert-warring). -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 17:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
The girl who "doesn't" get involved in Irish articles, can you tell me what I did that needs you to warn me on my talk page after I had recieved one from BHG, I can read and dont need to be told twice. I removed unsourced material from the article TU is well aware how to reference articles but he was misquoting refs as pointed out by ONIH and relying on a blog for a ref. So are we just supposed to leave these claims indefinitly? What ever happened to BE BOLD. I reverted the article twice after the changes I made and so as not to get blocked I stopped and was unable to put in any refs to this article which is now protected. And could you tell me what TU has done constructively to the article since my changes accept revert? BigDunc 16:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I had stopped before your warning BHG but TU carried on regardless I asked him not to and so did Padraig but he choose to ignore all 3 warnings which he has got away with. If you look at talk page TU has been asked numerous times to provide sources which he has refused to. But thanks for your impartiallity on this matter if only all admins where like you.

Alison you still have not told me what I have done wrong to get a warning from you, must the tags stay for a set time a day, a week, a month or indefinitly he has been asked by me and other editors to provide sources and he hasn't. So what would you recommend I should have done on this issue not remove the unsourced material and links to sluggerotoole's blog. I reverted twice and stopped, my last edit was at 13:58, October 2, 2007. BHG gave a warning at 14:14, 2 October 2007.

Dear Allie: I had no idea about your history of depression. I also take medication. In fact, when I had a lapse in my health insurance (my fault, mostly) in '06, was when I initially got so out of control that I ended up being, well, you know, banned (although I still believe that the punishment was unduly harsh).
Anyway I really thought you had it all together, and I know you have a child, and a job and all that erudition and a polyglot, as well. so it's amazing that you have functioned at all, even if that means interacting with low-lifes and lackeys. I am not sucking up. I have no reason to.

Hi Alison. Can you un-protect the above mentioned article?

Hi, thanks for your work on the article. I rewrote most of it a while ago, with rather heavy reliance on Wolff's book. That is probably why there are too few references. Keen to see a few more references for the information that is there, but from other authoritative sources. Peter Williams's book might be one, but I'm ignorant of others. Time-stressed at the moment.

Alison, perhaps you can help me figure out what would be an appropriate warning for K743snx, who has now placed a POV tag on 1981 Irish hunger strike four separate times (see [ [12]]) without ever offering any explanation of where said POV is to be found. He has, so far, received no warnings on his talk page. I looked in vain for a specific warning for such activity. A simple vandalism warning does not seem appropriate, but clearly he needs a "talking to," as Mr. Grady would say. Thanks, as always, for your time. Cheers! --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 22:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
hi Alison,
firstly my apologies for undoing the 'this article is in dispute' sign that you placed on the named article, i didnt mean to undo it and i dont know how to redo it.
also i just wanted to say that much of the article is fraudulant. i have again made some changes to it and made additional comments on the discussion page which show many of the irregularities in it, eg it states that just after a knee transplant the bishop went on a mountain climbing holiday. this is illogical since anyone who has such an operation couldnt even climb a stairs afterwards.
it is obvious that someone is using wikipedia to vent their own personal vendetta for whatever reason they see fit. however i believe that the article should not be sensationalised, but rather factual. also i would like to point out that the Bishop is now in perfect health, and i have personally witnessed this several times in the last few weeks.

I cannot understand your position on this. The entire section on Amnesty is from a public interview - there is not one word of editorialising or comment in it. How could someone's own words be libellous? This is ridiculous. If the entry on Gordon Brown quoted him as saying the reason he didn't call an election had nothing to do with the polls would that be slander. Please explain yourself further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4theChildren ( talk • contribs) 14:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alison, first off: I could fall in love with you from your lovely page design and your cute picture and your biting! The reason I came here is that I would like to edit the pedophilia article. I want to fix the broken Bernard 1982 reference, add the term teleiophilia to the related terms section and insert a new section on the causes of pedophilia since I have found three interesting scientific articles that should be noted. Unfortunately, the page is still protected by you since the latest edit war. Can you please lift the ban? Cheers: Roman Czyborra 10:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you can lift the page protection! The discussion on the talk page has long silenced and the warriors have apparently lost interest in their warfare. {{ editprotected}} isn't an option for me as I want to collect mainspace article count in order to become entitled to participate in elections. Please unprotect the page! Roman Czyborra 09:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

To ensure this gets put to bed once and for all, I have requested explicit clarification from ArbCom. My concern is that an ambiguously worded proposal does pass (or even does not pass) and we are then left with differing interpretations on what ArbCom said on the issue and end up back at square one. Vk has requested I not post on his talk page, so I am not going to notify him. If, in the unlikely event he doesn't spot my request, could you draw his attention to it as it is only fair he be aware.

Hey, on a RC Patrol a few days ago, I saw the following article created: Diabetes and heredity. It's a TOTAL mess. It reads mostly like a term paper, its loaded with original research, it mainly references other Wikipedia pages. Since the Diabetes mellitus article already covered ALL of the relevent information quite well, I redirected the page to Diabetes mellitus#Genetics. My redirection was reverted twice. Now, the article has the POTENTIAL to be a worthwhile article, and the person who created the article is determined to keep their own text there ( WP:OWN anyone). If we're going to keep the article, we might as well have a GOOD article about the subject. I saw that you were listed on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Participants list as an endocrinology person and I thought of asking you to take a look at this article and see what you think, since 1) it seems to match your interest 2) I know NOTHING about this subject 3) I knew you from working with you at Wikipedia before and 4) (most importantly) your name was first on the list. Could you please see what, in your opinion, can be done with the article Diabetes and heredity? I would not be averse to cleanup, and was only doing the redirect since the article was a mess, and I know nothing about the subject... Thanks a bunch! -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 03:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Alison: don't you find it ironic that you talk of your disgust of "rock throwers" and "flag warriors", and yet you seem to be the champion of at least two of them - one of whom has just shown you their obvious POV by boasting about how many IRA members (surely that should read "volunteers", eh?) have been on the "main space" in four days?
Perhaps you, blinded as you seem to be by your little fan club who come running to you every time somebody upsets their little campaign to remove the flag of Northern Ireland from Wikipedia, you have somehow failed to notice the work that others have put into Wikipedia - and not just to members of terrorist organisations either. -- Mal 00:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello Alison, I would like help understanding why you would deny my request for a semi-protect on the page. My reasons for making the request were as follows:
I may be wrong, which is highly likely, but the purpose of Wikipedia is to maintain a public encyclopedia. Denying Anon's to edit an article for a short period, especially an article that is not typical for every day use, does not present a major inconvenience to readers or users as a whole. I would be curious in gaining a better understanding of this policy and your reasonsing. Cheers. -- Storm Rider (talk) 05:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alison, it appears warrnings are having no effect [19]. With comments like this, and then [20], it's obvious they are not about improving articles, but simply out to cause offence! Surly something can be done? -- Domer48 07:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alison. The article was low intensity, but high-controversy. It's been the biggest single issue in Australian politics for nearly 2 years now. And I had reason to suspect that Joe Hockey's ministerial staff were watching the article and taking opportunities to subtly whitewash. Given the high importance of the article overall, POV-inserting like this [21] [22] would likely gain unfavourable attention if left to remain for long periods.

Thought it hasn't been discussed much, the previous reverter stopped reverting the unprotected Twelver template, so I think it might be safe to unprotect this one as well. Tell me any concerns you might have about that. The only active non-banned person involved in that template, Sa.vakilian, upon me asking what we could do to improve it and get it unprotected replied "Salam.
