Hello, DeltaQuad.
Almost half of the seven day time that you allotted is over. I think I have addressed all the problems as you asked. Could you please kindly review them and verify? Sorry, if I seem rushed but I felt if I just keep waiting, the seven days may just pass ... I nearly averted an edit war in the article. (It was close!) Fleet Command ( talk) 05:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive. Awards and barnstars We look forward to meeting you on the drive! Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters, Diannaa, Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest |

I just wanted to say thanks for offering to take on KoH as a trainee clerk. If there are admin clerking questions that come up as you go, I'd be happy to help out. Cheers! TN X Man 02:40, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of
Colmar - Meyenheim Air Base at the
Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath
your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!
I'm confused by your edits at 23:47 and 23:51 on 9 May 2011. Was something meant to be removed? Or did you remove some entries and then restore them? -- Sarabseth ( talk) 14:17, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I see now that just an email address was removed in 2 places. It was really hard to figure that out from the edit summaries there and your initial responses here.-- Sarabseth ( talk) 17:22, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I have received warnings about 'unconstructive' posts and 'vandalism' regarding some updated entries to the UK Punk Bands list. I can see nothing wrong with these entries - it is just a list of band names and links to a Wikipedia entry on the 'Bullshit Detector' punk compilation series. Is this just an automated bot responding to the phrase 'Bullshit Detector'? I have now been threatened with removal of editing rights, so please could you remove the warnings. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.20.46 ( talk) 20:33, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello DeltaQuad. Thanks for helping out at WP:OP. I noticed your RfA earlier, and I'll probably pop over there again in a while. I hope you won't think I want to own WPOP or anything, the more proficient help the better, but I do want to make some introductory comments. First, please don't add the tags to the page until we're done with the IP in question. The archive bot is usually super efficient and it takes away to chance for other opinions, and even review by the person who listed it. It's very unusual that an IP can be confirmed either way that quickly. Speaking of which, I've blocked the IP you said was unlikely to be open. It's a web server used by an obvious sockpuppet of a probable banned proxy-using puppeteer, and even if you think it doesn't directly pass the duck test, it could really do with some explanation. I'm not sure how you would have missed that. The other thing I want to mention is that you seem to rely on port scanning. Please see my comment here and see if you can wean yourself of it. You may want to look over the proxy checking guide listed at WP:OP. Feel free to drop by with any questions or comments. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:12, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Hullo, DeltaQuad. I was doing a little digging to research your RfA and came across User:DeltaQuad/Admin/ADCO. Is this largely accurate? I'm interested specifically in your initial responses in the Welcome section and your thoughts on the admin role. Thanks, Skomorokh 12:37, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, DQ. Before I decide whether I should support your RFA, could you explain in a little more detail what you thought my "conduct unbecoming" was? At least one diff would be nice. :-) -- SarekOfVulcan ( talk) 14:45, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey DQ:
You started reviewing AAL 191 on April 29th, and other than a short comment on disambiguation and redirect pages on May 6th, as well as passing a couple criterion, I haven't received any communication regarding the article's status and what I can be doing to improve it. I see you're working with other GARs and are also running for adminship, so obviously your time is limited, but I'm wondering if you can give me an idea of the article's current status and a partial to do list on the review page so I can keep making improvements in the interim. I'm also wondering what your timeframe is for holding/passing the article. Thanks! N419 BH 18:08, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Could you clarify your IP statement. You say you have never edited from an IP account, then you say that you cannot remember the IP but you can remember the IP. It looks like you intend to say that you have edited from an IP account over three years ago, but you cannot remember the address or number of the account.
Also, you list some Wiki accounts at the bottom of that page. These Wikis are not related to WMF as is implied. It might be worth either clarifying that, or even removing that information from that page as potentially misleading. It's OK as a general thing to give some information about yourself, but creating a link from an RFA page in which you present information which makes you appear to have gained significant permissions in other WMF sites may be read by some users as deceptive. SilkTork * Tea time 09:03, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm using Firefox 3, and I haven't seen anything wrong happen with the script myself. What page did you see the issue on? (It's possible that someone decided to add the symbols themselves manually, which would obviously mean they ended up there twice, once manually and once via the script.) -- ais523 23:36, 14 May 2011 ( U T C)
Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
May 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.
![]() So far, 54 people have signed up for the drive, and 33 are actively participating. If you signed up for the drive but have not participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you have not signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now. If you have questions about getting started, feel free to
talk to us. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the
Requests page. We currently have 17 articles awaiting edit.
We are making slow progress on achieving our target of reducing the overall backlog by 15%; in order to accomplish this goal we will need to complete about 400 more articles. However, we are making good progress on the 2009 backlog, as we have eliminated over half of the articles from 2009 that were present at the start of the drive. Let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009; leaderboard awards will be handed out for 2009 articles this drive. Thank you for participating in the May 2011 drive. We hope it will be another success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest |

Hi I noticed that you deleted File:Cas-ydekwia.jpg and other similar file redirects. Apparently these are controversial if the file has been at the name for a long time. So really they should be listed at RFD to clarify. Deleting these messes up the appearance of pages in history that used them, especially since the name that you deleted was there for several years. If someone labells a speedy delete with G6 with no reason you should not be deleting it unless you know the reason yourself clearly! Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 04:16, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Can you have a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rainman64 to see if I have done it correctly. Mtking ( talk) 12:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, user Cameron Scott has started using his old username to continue making edits on the Caylee Anthony homicide article. He has deleting huge part of the article, in totalt contrast with what other users has already established to be relevant. His edits on his IP adress was the leading factor to the Caylee Anthony article being protectd yesterday. I find if very offensive for an IP to use an Old username to avoid a block that he/she contributed to.I hope you see my concern. Thanks.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 20:54, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
In keeping with your blocking of the IPs socks and re-formatting of their contributions on the AfD for the Luis González-Mestres article, could you look at the latest IP, User:83.199.69.101, with an eye to blocking it as a sock and hatting its contribution? Thanks, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 17:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for moving that SPI ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Motaros) for me. I wasn't exactly sure who to use as the "sockmaster", and obviously I picked the wrong one. Thanks again! MrMoustacheMM ( talk) 03:46, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello DQ, I am a simple man, yet for even scratching my head here on wiki I have to read lots and lots of complicated pages and even then I dont get any of it. I wanted to apply for page protection for several artciles, and believe me, after reading all the "apply for protection" pages, I cant figure it out, I dont understand the templates, the application procedures, the HTML complexities, blah!!! help me !!! and if this is a waste of your precious time, I am sorry dude !!
anyways, the pages are: Khattak, Oldest Afghan tribes, Lund Khwar. (for the moment that is, until my OCD behavior compels me for more) ;)
These pages have been subjected to vandalism many times and I have politely warned the vandals, suffice to say, if protected, it will save guys like yourself alot of time.
Thank you. TC. Msrafiq ( talk) 04:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Please, please, please, for the love of God, guide me as how to become a vandal fighter, especially for the WikiProject Afghanistan and Pakistan (of which I am a part) related pages, many of them I constantly keep watch on and some of them I created myself. I know this is stupid, but wiki makes all things so complicated, I cant still figure out how to reach the vandal fighters, :( (maybe I am too dumb to be a vandal fighter, but a man's gotta try)......
Thanx again for your patience and time.
