Hi Alison, I understand you have the rights to redact an inadvertent IP outing. It's not a matter of terrible importance but on the whole I've decided I'd like it fixed. This diff should be linked to my account (and thereby have the IP concealed), and this diff by Bulldog123 which calls attention to the outing should be redacted if necessary in accordance. Could you please help out? No urgency, but many thanks. - DustFormsWords ( talk) 03:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Just blocked 4 more - want to check the IP? Thanks, NawlinWiki ( talk) 16:21, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alison, I know that you're one of the longest serving administrators here so I figured that you'd be able to help me with a question I have about dealing with bad faith. There is a lengthy discussion going on at Talk:U2 which is consistently being disrupted by one editor who is constantly throwing out accusations of bias and bad faith. The editor has been repeatedly asked to stop doing so by numerous others, both on Talk:U2 and their user talk page, but the behaviour persists. Since the requests are obviously being ignored, what is the next step that should be taken to try and get this user to discuss things more co-operatively and civilly? I'm unfamiliar with what to do in this sort of circumstance. Melicans ( talk, contributions) 23:45, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alison. Afraid I've messed up something. I review this unblock request and since the editor is in good standing and the IP belongs to a university, I lifted the auto-block. What I didn't do was read the instruction you had appended to the request. Guess I was hypnotized by the pretty blue template. At any rate, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to revert the unblock. Terribly sorry about this. Favonian ( talk) 11:20, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Alison. Thank you for reverting vandalism and protecting my page. Just out of curiosity, may I ask what was in the reverted and deleted diffs? -- ElComandanteChe ( talk) 19:46, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Alison, about your recent , they can say 'they are told' because they didn't receive the court order. The New York Times are also told about stuff =P Anyway, I read on your userpage that you are syop at Encyclopedia Dramatica, so I would like to know what really happened, if you know, and you are willing to tell me of course =P.

Hi Alison,
Meiosis XY Female Syndrome is up for AFD (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Medicine, and you were suggested as someone who might know more than the average editor. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 20:28, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

A new editor is created, and within 60 seconds a since-indef'd sock "welcomes" that user, yet that user is supposedly not a sock??? ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey Alison. We've got a case over at SPI where a bunch of editors made some edits that were oversighted, and we're trying to see if the editors are connected via checkuser. The problem is that whoever does the checksuser apparently also needs to have oversight. Bit of a tricky situation. Anyway, since you fit the criteria for this, I was wondering if you could run the CU. The case is at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JLP1996 if you could help out. If not, that's cool; there are a few other people I can contact. Thanks! — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 18:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello Alison, I believe I have discovered another sock puppet of banned, long time user Codyfinke ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Adultnature1989 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). You have blocked Cody several times in the past for his issues. Could you please look into this user, as his behaviors are almost identical to Cody's:
I need some verification that this is in fact Cody or another long time abuser such as Mascotguy (One editor has expressed an opinion that Cody might be MG).
I would also like some help to setup a Long Term Abuse profile on Cody as this is going on for several years now.
Thank you, -- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 15:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Could you take a peek at User_talk:OrangeLisa? Thanks, Gwen Gale ( talk) 11:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Also, all these --> 1 2 3 4 ... and so on. I give up. I'll just block them - Alison ❤ 12:22, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Long time no talk, hope you're well. You've got mail. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 23:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
I understand that you have oversight priveliges and it has been suggested that I look into have some of my contributions removed. I've been somewhat careless with personal information that has resulted in off-wiki harassment. I changed my user name but didn't realise how easy it was to still find my personal details. I'm not sure what is the best solution, whether to go for a new account or ask for oversight of some of my contributions. What would you suggest? 20:21, 22 December 2010 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wee Curry Monster ( talk • contribs)

Hi: I created Laurie Smith. I just checked my watchlist after returning from work and find you have protected it, "oversight issues" - am I to take it there were bad edits to it while I was AFK that have been oversighted? Just checking in case you are referring to edits I saw or even edits I made - I have tried really hard to be scrupulous with this one and would feel awful if I had let something bad be in the article.

To answer your question, he began here with too much knowledge for a newbie, and with a wise-guy attitude (in an ignorant comment directed at me, from out of left field). [2] His comment about usenet and IP's pretty much answers the question I asked, so we're good. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 08:12, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
I don't understand why you unstruck Moulton's comments on Talk:cold fusion after Enric Naval struck them. The comments were off topic and not helpful to the discussion, besides being from a banned user. At least you didn't restore the one comment that Enric removed, but why remove the strikeouts on the rest? Now Moulton has posted on my talk page (as Montana Mouse and as Caprice) to suggest that I should look at the unhelpful comment that Enric removed. There's nothing useful in the comment that merited it being brought to my attention; the comment itself and the mention on my talk both seem to be simply an attempt to incite a dispute. Moulton should not be posting on Wikipedia; surely you're not endorsing his blatant flouting of his block? Woonpton ( talk) 17:32, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Neutralhomer wishes you a Merry Christmas and hopes your day is full of the true spirit of the day. Plus, good food, good family and good times. :) Have a Great Day! :) Spread the joy of Christmas by adding {{subst:User:Neutralhomer/MerryChristmas}} to their talk page with a friendly message. |

I return from a five minute winter holiday to find that you do not seem to want to argue strongly for Vintagekits to be unblocked, in fact the whole thing is hurriedly archived. What exactly do you find som much more appealing about sussexman (or whatever he is currently calling himself) who you fought to have unbanned, than VK? Giacomo 11:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I have recently at times bumped into you and it is somewhat by design. I have tried to find a way to enjoy contributing to discussions. Sorry about the dramz just above, that is what I am disliking about the place. With a desire to enrich and learn in the same breath, I am approaching interaction with the .org via sideways alleys and paths, one being checking your contribs for interesting topics. So, notstalk but just nosing around. Nosey. Hope all is well with you. Sswonk ( talk) 05:47, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi , I see you blocked Randygeorge and theLuca a couple of weeks ago at the same time. I was looking to tag the accounts but couldn't see an SPI. Presumably they are socks of each other and you just figured it out without the need for an investigation? Please can you confirm so I can add the tags. thanks.-- Shakehandsman ( talk) 01:21, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
