Hey Alison, I saw on your userpage that you support removing RFDs per consent of the subject (which, contrary to the mainstream consensus here, I think is a reasonable concept in some cases). Out of curiosity, would you still support it if, say, a Senator McScandal (or his staffers) saw their page, didn't like it, and demanded deletion? Kansan ( talk) 21:42, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
This one needs to go because of revealing of personal details on a user's page (though the talk page user is from VA, not Texas). Nate • ( chatter) 02:18, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
The RFC regarding restricting article creation to autoconfirmed users is now open. Thought you might be interested in it. Best. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 19:04, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Alison
Thought you might have some insights as to this strange contributions history. The last, the sole (as of this writing) comment in an AfD that was notified only to an IP that hasn't edited since 2005.
Also, on another AfD I have seen a number of long-inactive accounts wake up to opine.
Are people jacking these accounts, or making a few edits and keeping them around for years, or are they just coincidences?
Thoughts?
Thanks, Bongo matic 02:14, 5 April 2011 (UTC) Should you wish to reply, please do so here. I will watch this page for a few days, so no {{ talkback}} or other comment on my talk page is required.

I'll take that as a yes! Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 05:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
This new person just showed up and made a strange edit and Superbly seems to like starting new accounts and then running through a bunch of the same types of edits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Zerdabi
So before they get too far along, I thought I might point them out.

The days of "more is better" are well over.... Music to my ears. Could not agree more. But most of Wikipedia seems to be unaware of that, as the new unending debate on Pending Changes shows. I would like to encourage you to promote The days of "more is better" are well over everywhere, for I do see Wikipedia becoming a CraigsList over time, and much better protection measures are needed. I think those in favor of more protection should form a group of some type, but I am not sure how. I have over 1,000 pages on my watch list and just tired of IP debates. So I would like to encourage everyone to promote more protection. History2007 ( talk) 01:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I hope you got my email explaining what happened. I never sent that spam stuff. My account was hijacked. I also informed, among other contacts, Jimmy Wales and Elizabeth (Eliz81). I deleted all my contacts from the hotmail account which I don't use anymore anyway, as I explained, so I don't think there will be a recurrence, but you know more about computers than I do. Do you think it's connected to my Wikipedia username? I wasn't going to change it for the sake of the likes of User:IZAK, but if you think or recommend I should then let me know on my userpage, and let me know how to go about it. Thanks.

Hello Alison. I noticed your rev/del on the Downton Abbey article and the note on your user page that you are an admin who will consider rev/del requests. When you have time would your please look at these edits Special:Contributions/LineProducer85. I reverted these back in January and have wondered ever since whether they should remain in the edit history. I have seen such conflicting discussion of rev/del on various noticeboards that I haven't known whether these meet the criteria or not. Thanks for your time and cheers.

I'm going to have to ask you to confirm on WP:ANI that the edit of mine that you oversighted included no personally identifying information about anyone. Thanks, and sorry to bother. Hipocrite ( talk) 00:40, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
<4. :D
I noticed that you hid content for a block of 53 revisions at WP:AN, including some of mine. May I ask why? Your explanation was that "this contains the RL name of an uninvolved person who was targeted by the original web posting". I was not aware that any of my edits revealed any personal information, and I don't know what "original web posting" you speak of. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen ( talk) 01:50, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

The reason I listed the other users is simply because the IP targeted them. He wouldn't likely know about those users unless he himself was those users. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:06, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
← ( edit conflict) But ultimately, even tagging them is a waste of time. I only tag his accounts when people are confused/misled, otherwise I'd spend my waking hours tagging various socks of various accounts. Best off just Keep Calm and Carry On, y'know? - Alison ❤ 10:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
