Ok, I've borked another commenting-out edit. What obvious coding am I missing? :^/ Tide rolls 02:28, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
The same IP has been evading his block with this IP 194.170.28.239. Considering he has evaded his block at least 6 times and evaded his block literally minutes after a range block, do you think its time to semi-protect the articles and talk pages? It does not look like he's going to stop block evading and he has continued the same behavior which got him blocked in the first place, including personal attacks (see [2]).

Thanks for all your help with UTRS over the past several weeks! I think the tool is really incredible, and there's no way it would have gotten done without your help. Thanks a thousand times over! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 06:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC) |
Is the closure of Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Highways#RFC_on_coordinates_in_highway_articles still in progress by you? Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 00:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi DeltaQuad,
I am considering setting up a Tor node, but obviously I don't want it to prevent me from editing WP (I'm not using Tor myself). Unfortunately the WM/WP policy pages on Tor are not always very explicit and/or up-to-date. I was advised by Snowolf that you may have up-to-date answers to my questions, so here they are :

Hi, I found that my ACC Account has been suspended for my inappropriate handling of 73268. I apologize for this mishandling, assuring that I won't repeat this mistake again. I, thereby, humbly request you to reactivate my account. Regards, Sourav Mohanty ( talk) 12:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

This user did go through Unblock-en, and from my opinion at the time it was not blatant naming so not against the policy. — billinghurst sDrewth 07:05, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello User:DeltaQuad, can you please close this RfC? It has been open long enough to allow several users to comment and the RfC tag has expired. Thanks, Anupam Talk 22:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Further to our previous correspondence, your Audit Subcommittee candidacy page has been created. Please visit the page to review (and if necessary, edit) your nomination statement, as well as answer the standard questions. You should also keep watch for any further questions the community may pose. Feel free to contact myself or another arbitrator if you have any questions. Once again, thank you for your offer to serve on the subcommittee. – xeno talk 03:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear DeltaQuad,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 05:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
You wrote "For the record, all there all are rangeblocked because they are webhosts." What does that mean exactly? Vale of Glamorgan ( talk) 00:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I can't tell what's going on here, but you seem to think this is a sock account. I'm giving you a heads up that the account is most definitely alive and causing problems. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 01:47, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Who is "he" and how has he controvened policy? I'm not (necessarily) doubting your judgment, just being thorough. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 05:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Yes, that would be nice. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 07:03, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Something for people to keep in mind is that, when it comes to contentious debates, it's quite likely that there is more than one person holding a particular view of what is neutral and balanced, and sharing the same view (even when using the same terminology) doesn't make them socks of each other. It can sometimes be very difficult to sort it all out, though. The block on this IP is appropriate both because of the edit warring and also because of the creation of named accounts, and to use the named account(s) to evade a legitimate block.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their March 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate the remaining 2010 articles from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, Stfg, and Coordinator emeritus SMasters. 19:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi DQ, I've stumbled across this discussion about the use of Indic scripts in article leads, including the continuation on the now-archived thread on this talk page. It has not been easy for me to understand (or more correctly, to find) exactly what the decision was, and without better communication of it, it will just become forgotten. I think that the decision should be summarised and placed in the WP:Manual of Style somewhere, although I'm not sure exactly where would be best. What are your thoughts?
