Things you probably never read on Bwilkins' talk page in the first place
I could really use some help mediating with what's very obviously a hostile editor. Long story short, I decided to AfD an article rather than outright delete it because there was some assertion of notability. It turned into a fairly long and overly dramatic thing where I've tried to explain things to an editor, only for them to pretty much systematically abuse and insult me on the talk page. It's really getting stupid now and it's enough to where I'd personally think a short 1-2 day block would probably effectively get the point across that personal attacks are not kosher. I think it's the same person as User:Anfasimov2013 (who I also think is the subject of the article, although he denies it). I've asked outright since I don't want to automatically assume that it's the same person. The editing style is the same. I really should've just ignored the small assertion of notability and outright deleted it. No good deed goes unpunished, eh? In any case, can you step in here? He's pretty obviously not going to be reasonable to anything I say. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:50, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I recently posted an article on myself and it was deleted for "non verifiable sources". I can not think of how to verify some of the information without pointing towards links to works I have published and which are for sale (such as an Amazon link?) or to my personal website ( http://www.pradigen.com). In either case, any information I give about myself is necessarily "unverifiable" such as age, location of birth, etc. I believe both links above are frowned upon because they are "promoting myself" and so did not post them. It seems like unless an author or entity is extremely well known then they are not noteworthy enough yet to be listed in Wikipedia? I'm not sure what to do here. I am an author in America with a published work. How would you suggest I go about rectifying any issues with the previous page. It was for Robert Street (American Author and Activist). Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PRADIGen ( talk • contribs) 17:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I don't want to increase the drama at ANI, but could you make a couple of corrections? You put your bolded comment before my statement about unblocking. Your commment was saved 15 minutes after mine. Could you move it to after mine? In the same vein, your subsequent comment "I commented before this one was wrongly lifted" is also incorrect. Could you strike the part about commenting before (unless you're referring to some other comment)?

I'm just letting you know since you know about the discussion. It's getting flooded with comments which are started to become personal, like speculation about Lukeno's beliefs and insinuating that I'm dishonest, or disingenuous, or however it could be termed. I hope it doesn't need to be watched but I saw the comment against me this morning and went to the user's talk page to try to make peace, and then saw he was getting a bit personal with another editor as well. I'm worried the whole discussion could get derailed. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 08:55, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Just curious what exactly are "snippy comments", and how they relate to hampering my ability to "see things, and fix them"? You do realize, I hope, that during the time that the sanctions have been in effect, there have been thousands of corrections and improvements that no one will ever see, at least not until someone else sees them and fixes them, or the sanctions are removed so that I can fix them, if I can even find them again? In what universe does that benefit our millions of readers? A good editor, who sees corrections, is willing to fix them, but can not fix them, due to some very obscure sanctions, how is that helping? Why would making "snippy comments", whatever they are, justify making yet more people not benefit from those errors and improvements? Who benefits from the sanctions that I am under? No one. Who benefits from them being removed? Everyone. If this is exactly what you mean by "snippy comments", I wish everyone would make more "snippy comments". Apteva ( talk) 08:40, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear Bwilkins, what I am writing is a description of the project. It is an international physics project on fusion like ITER. I think it is not against the rules of Wikipedia.

Let me start out by saying that I have a lot of respect for you as an administrator. I think you generally keep a cool head and approach things reasonably. I am a little concerned about RetroLord though. I am not giving what he says total credit but He did ask you to not visit his userpage. I only say that because from all appearances he appears to have good intentions towards the project and is (from what I assume) a rather young editor and possibly doesn't understand your good intentions. Maybe it might be better to not visit his userpage unless absolutely nec. until he gets his mind wrapped around things. I could be completely wrong and maybe he changed his mind but sometimes it just stirs the pot to go against his wishes (I understand why you were there (and the headline is a slight bit on the abf side for sure). Like I say, I think his perception isn't nec. right in this case, so please don't take this as a you are a terrible admin diatribe because it really is the opposite of how I perceive you.

I am asking this question here, as I think it would be off-topic in the ANI thread.
I did upload to flickr the image Arctic Kangaroo wanted deleted from the commons. It is a properly licensed image, free for anyone in the world to re-use, for any purpose, provided they honored the terms of the license.
I attributed the image to Arctic Kangaroo, as the license requires. I included a link to the license, as the license requires. So, I believe I honored the terms of the license. Subsequently, I uploaded his other images, also complying with the terms of his license.
You suggested I should erase the image, and the half dozen others, from flickr. Perhaps you thought I was claiming or implying they were my own work?
If, now that you know I was complying with his license, you still think I should erase those images, I'd be very grateful if you would explain why you think so, and why you think those uploads were a bad idea.
I already replied to your comment about lapsing from WP:OUTING. If you agree that Arctic Kangaroo volunteered this information, and I did not, after all, lapse from WP:OUTING, can I ask you to consider striking that comment? Geo Swan ( talk) 15:32, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bwilkins, on your userpage is a userbox stating, "This user might or might not have an academic degree, and considers the distinction irrelevant on Wikipedia." I'm curious as to what is meant by this, and I have two ideas in mind here: 1) do you mean to say that an academic degree is not a prerequisite to academic-level knowledge and scholarly understanding? Or 2) do you mean to say that knowledge and understanding are irrelevant on Wikipedia? To observe that a degree is just a certification of a presumed underlying reality (knowledge and understanding) is obviously and almost trivially true. They're much more meaningful to those outside a field than to those inside it. But this is a very different from saying that someone whose knowledge is deep only in the fields of 4chan, magic the gathering and video games is an appropriate person to manage an encyclopedia. On Wikipedia, it's mainly the latter that this argument is used to defend. It feels to me like shoehorning. What are your thoughts on this? 24.19.234.62 ( talk) 15:38, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I have recently posted a topic literally titled "URGENT NEED OF HELP!!! Citing my sources and how to cite them properly as well as how and where to find the right ones!!!!" and I would like your advice as well as help from other users! Please come to my talk page as soon as you can. Keeby101 ( talk) 22:24, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Hey Bwilkins, before I begin I would like to say that I am sorry for asking that question earlier about how to cite my sourced properly as well as the tone I used when doing so. :(
Anyway, I would like to discuss with you about a rather old topic that I had been giving a rest for a few days until recently. I have made a new map and added as many sources as possible to back it up. Kathovo and I had a talk on my talk page and he said that if I insisted on using that map as the Infobox image of the article, then we would have to try to reach a consensus with other users. So far, no one has responded to my latest comment on the Sassanian Empire talk page. I posted my latest map of the Sasanian Empire along with all of my sources to back it up. With that being said, is it safe to make my change to the article yet? Reason why I am asking this is because a long time ago, a user named Rupert Clayton told me that if no one responds to me within a reasonable time that I should be bold and make my change. So should I put up my map as the infobox image of the article now? Or should I still wait for a consensus to be reached? Keeby101 ( talk) 02:18, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I didn't "remove valid questions or comments." I copied and pasted my old Unblock request, and accidentally added a question from the last time someone commented. When I noticed my mistake, I deleted it.
If you'll notice, the same "valid question or comment" that I "removed" was right below in my last unblock request- AND was signed and dated from BEFORE I made my most recent unblock request. Please stop accusing me of things I didn't do. Why would I even do something like that?
Talk to Vitto; he granted me a global exception. I have an exception on EVERY Wiki except for the English one. Personally, though, I have no idea where you would find it.
Why on Earth would you block VPNs for logged-in users, anyway?
And why do you talk to voluntary contributors the way you talk to them? I don't have a "case" that I'm trying to help; I'm not fighting jail time. I'm a person who volunteers his time to edit Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Wikisource in multiple languages so that some guy can go get paid to give speeches about what a great job he did in "creating" Wikipedia. "Don't push your fortuitous luck"? Why would you say something like that to a volunteer? I don't have to help any Wikimedia projects. No one has to help any Wikimedia projects.
What on Earth could I possibly have to gain from asking you to unblock me? Do you think I love doing this just to pester you? No; it bothers me greatly that I have to go through this red tape just to be allowed to do something I was able to do about a month ago, something that I don't have to do at all.

Hey B, I noted your involvement in the current ANI thread regarding Arctic Kangaroo. It may not have escaped your attention that AK has substantial similarities in behavioural problems to a certain Tomnnnnn, who later changed his username and his behaviour. AK doesn't, of course, have the same problem with requesting dozens of user-rights on dozens of projects. And I have since learned that qualities that Tomnnnnn claimed for himself, which I flatly accused him of lying about, were actually true and real. (Egg on face? I had it.) And finally, of course, Tomnnnnn now turns out to be a very constructive and unproblematic editor, as you know.
One of the first things I did to point Tomnnnnn on that path was an adoption course. What the adoptee learns from the adoption course is useful; but in reality the important thing is to slow down the over-eager youngster. Every minute they spend reading and re-reading the adoption course, and then answering the questions, and then re-reading the questions because they got them wrong the first time, is an extra minute they are not getting themselves into trouble by trying to edit every page on Wikipedia all at once (or trying to win numerical AfC contests, or whatever else it is that clever kids do.)
Did this work? I think so.
Anyway, at my request, Tomnnnnn is willing to run through an adoption course with AK, with me monitoring and advising along the way. Tomnnnnn knows the ropes, and I know the underlying problems.
This would also require that AK actually agree to this and follow through with it, which may or may not be a hurdle. His current attitude would need to change, either during the course or before it.
If AK does agree to this, would you agree to a 3 month restriction from AfC, rather than a 6 month one? -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 22:25, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I picked your name from some admin list and I see you have a fair history. Could you please look at my user page. I have not edited for about two years after I gave up from harassment stress from other editors. My IP changes from time to time so maybe that is related to it. Anyway I have not even made an article edit yet and have attempted to link my old IP account to my current IP and I get what appears to be harassment from some editor about being a sockpuppet with some hundreds of other editors. The editor BullRnagifer seems to keep an IP hatred page for his battleground behavior. Is this classic for IP editors to get jumped on like this? Can people really edit without an account? If not why is it allowed? If Wikipedia is just a constant barrage of harassment I need to not be involved with such a place. It seems it belongs to a certain group of editors that won't allow anybody else in. Please see if I am out-to-lunch and this is warranted or whether this editor is just a large dog eating me for a snack.

...for editing warring on my talk page, he's still editing (not on my talk page) as of 10 minutes ago using his alternate account Epicfailure 2. [5] He seems to know that he shouldn't be doing it, because that edit was to remove the note on his talk page that it was an alternate account of Epicgenius, so he was trying to cover his tracks. (Of course, it still says that on the user page).
He also has another account, Ef alt. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:17, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Epicgenius clearly knew that he wasn't supposed to use his socks for editing while blocked, or he wouldn't have edited the Epicfailure 2 talk page to downplay the connection, had the Epicfailure 2 user page speedy-deleted to remove the connection that was there, and then tried to remove the connection from Epicgenius' user page using Ef alt, with an edit summary that said somethng like "Stop f****ing lying, I'm not Epicgenius". All of that is clear evidence that Epicgenius was attempting to disconnect from his alternate accounts so that he could use them to edit with.
The thing about Epicgenius is that I think he's well-meaning, and he may, overall, be a net-positive to the project, but he makes a lot of little mistakes, doesn't react well when he's corrected, and has exceedingly poor judgment. As I said elsewhere today, I don't think extending his block even more would be as effective as having an admin read him the riot act, restrict him to one account, and take away his semi-automated tools. He works much too fast to be giving any real thought to what he's doing, which exacerbates the problem of his poor judgment. He needs to slow down (something that Pburka told him just yesterday) and give real consideration to his edits, this isn't a race that he has to "finish".

A Season of Forgiveness - an Olive Branch |
Across many faiths, and in many countries, it's a season of friendship, family, celebration and forgiveness. Throughout this year, I have been unfortunately involved in a number of on-wiki "altercations". To those involved, please know that there has never been an intent to demean, belittle, attack, or anger you. However, through either my actions, or the wording I have used, I have offended and/or angered a number of you, my on-wiki colleagues and fellow human beings. For this, I apologize profusely and sincerely. For most of you, we have been able to resolve these communucation challenges together - however, there are number of you where this was unfortunately not possible. In a very small number of those cases the situation escalated to a point where I requested that you no longer post here on my talkpage. In the interest of personal peace, and in the spirit of true forgiveness, I rescind any such limitations. May we take this opportunity to work peacefully together towards the common goal of open knowledge for all

Hi, I feel that your response to my statements of harassment by Uyvsdi was inappropriate:
I think that's pretty obviously an unreasonable, poorly considered, immaturely rendered statement, and due to the lack of balance probably ought to be escalated to the next level up. If nothing else, claims of harassment and Wikilawyering should be taken seriously, not treated with contempt. I have posted nothing that should lead to a block, and nothing I have posted will lead to a block. If it did somehow lead to a block, it would be to the disadvantage of Wikipedia, and not to me, because I have spent a lot of valuable time editing articles, and have tried to be polite, respectful, and balanced while doing so, though I admit I have made mistakes. I did not make this complaint lightly, and I repeatedly warned the offender before making the complaint. I want to know why you, as someone responsible for dealing with complaints such as this, is choosing to deal with it in this irresponsible and unbalanced manner. I suspect bias on your part due to Uyvsdi being a "named" user. Please apologize for the wording of your statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.171.145.148 ( talk) 00:02, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

I feel you are being extremely heavy handed by giving me an edit warring charge or appearance of edit warring charge. It is pretty obvious from a little observation that the Hendrix article is tightly controlled by several people that in general do a good job of editing and caring for it. However the writing quality is not always so good on it. It uses kind of a convoluted writing which ends up being a little precious and sounds to honorific. I reverted back to an edit I made. That is not edit warring. I request that you remove the warning from my page. You can respond here I will watch this page for a day or two. There is no point in working up some state of ill will with this article. A new person should be able to come in and edit the article without being confronted if the edits are improving.

Hello, DangerousPanda. This may be nothing, but it appears that Haitian patty was deleted on or about 17 February (according to this) and then re-created on 6 March. I don't see an AfD discussion, so maybe it was deleted by CSD or PROD. I happen to remember that the page existed before 6 March because I nominated a non-free image from the page for deletion back in February. As I say, it might be nothing of importance, but I wondered if something strange was going on, and lack the admin tools to look into it on my own. Cnilep ( talk) 01:30, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello there. I wanted to let you know of this discussion on my talk page. It appears that the reasons for User:Mark Marathon's (MM) block are a bit unclear to user Anthonyhcole, and given that I asked him to apologize to me for some comments he made about me at the AN and on MM's page, and he did, I believe it appropriate for me to follow through on my side and consider his requests as stated at my talk page. Upon said consideration, I do not think it appropriate for me to take a position for or against unblocking Mr. Marathon, but I DO think it would be helpful if you could clarify if there were reasons for Mr. Marathon's block other than the dispute between him and myself at Rangeland and the ensuing AN, and if so, what they were.

Total Siyapaa is a Indian Bollywood movie with a Pakistani lead Ali Zafar. even though the movie got overwhelmingly negative reviews the Wikipedia page ( /info/en/?search=Total_Siyapaa) gave wrong information that the movie got positive reviews and got good opening. the page was protected and couldn't be edited. When I submitted edit request this adminstrator Ibnebatutaji started wrongly accusing me of being a sock of varkley. I am new in Wikipedia editing. I heard this name sock for first time. This vvarkley guy is old user. You understood that accusation was wrong and blocked this Ibnebatutaji. Now he showed his ip address as 39.32.187.61 which i traced to rawalpindi Pakistan. it's clear that Ibnebatutaji is a pakistani who is supporting the actor from his country and used his administrator rights to favour n Indian movie with Pakistani actor Ali Zafar. Wikipedia administrator can't be this biased. I hope Wikipedia takes action against Ibnebatutaji and blocks all his ip address.

FWIW List of Guantanamo Bay detainees is not the best choice of redirect target, for various reasons -- mainly that it is almost 8 years out of date.

Both auto and confirmed are basically the same, yet autoconfirmed are less likely to be taken seriously because anyone can be autoconfirmed just after ten edits. According to this: [17], "In some situations, it is necessary for accounts to be exempted from the customary confirmation period." It is unlikey that autoconfirmed will be taken seriously more than confirmed by users who think that their POV ideas are more important than a legit source. It may not help with newly registered users, but more likely veteran editors will take you seriously because an admin such as yourself has given that special authority to that particular user. -- ♣Jerm♣ 729 20:18, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

I know i am on a 3day block , and thus i do not edit anything . But that does not mean that i cannot communicate with you , for something that now should be obvious to you as well .
Regarding Fan Noli , after my block i noticed some more edits by Dr.K which i shall copy paste to you ( in order to just show you what is obvious with the hope that you wont block me again ) and that you of course restore the article >
So now Noli not only he is not albanian ( thanks to experienced Dr.K but he is either vlach , greek , or bulgarian ... peek anything you want just not albanian ) Revision .
In addition the user with the ip 108.5.41.18 , which i believe to be Dr.K , removed any sources or established material which were containing the word Albanian .
What is more important i checked all the sources claiming Bulgarian or greek or vlack origin , and NO SOURCE WAS SHOWING that .... in fact they had not even a single relation to Fan Noli or what it was claimed .
If this is not obvious to you , i dont know what more to say .... ! I hope that you will see what i am seeing , and i really hope that wiki is all about facts , and not a place for heavy propaganda and WP NINJA tactics . Regards , John 94.234.170.186 ( talk) 15:12, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
In addition just checking all links hypothetically proving the greek origin of his name . ALL OF THEM are books that cannot be verified .... and all of them were added after the 3RR by him ! he has put a link on a book , and then added a text of his liking that he has created on his mind ... I do not know , but let us forget this for a moment and concentrate on this fact > Is he a living encyclopedia that he found 10 books 1 day after he intervened on a matter between me and (Alexikoua that he claimed no relation ) all of them speaking about Noli ?
What will it take , should i go and buy 2 or 3 of those books and scan them here , to prove that he is lying ( alhtough i should not even bother because SOURCES SHOULD BE VERIFIABLE ONLINE BY ALL PARTIES , SO THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE THER ) ? Will you then initiate any action against him ???? All in all i dont care about him , but can you please restore the article , given the Wikipedia:Verify rule and in particular Wikipedia:REDFLAG . 94.234.170.186 ( talk) 15:36, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
and 1 more that i just noticed ..... !!!!! This text was removed by that ip user ( aka DR.K ) ... > Noli moved back to the United States in 1932 and formed a republican opposition to Zogu, who had since proclaimed himself "King Zog I". Over the next years, he continued his education, studying and later teaching Byzantine music, and continued developing and promoting the autocephalous Albanian Orthodox Church he had helped to found. While in exile, he briefly allied with King Zog, who fled Albania before the invading Italians in 1939, but was unable to set a firm anti-Axis, anti-Communist front. <
Why ? So that to give the impression that Fan Noli was a greek person that created a GREEK church ( and not the authocephalus church of albania ) in albania ... This also by adding blank sources of non existing books , and some other sources of other books that exist but have no relation to what is being claimed !
Sorry for this spam . I am done , i dont know what more to say . I hope that you will restore the version , or at least unblock me , so that i go and buy those books , and i scan them to you , to show you the definition of tragicomedy . 94.234.170.186 ( talk) 16:10, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

The "Rob Maness" article was recently deleted completely due to a lack of notability prior to his campaign for the Louisiana Senate Seat. I was going to create a redirect to United States Senate election in Louisiana, 2014 but wasn't sure of the proper way to go about this for an article that has already been deleted. Any guidance would be great.
In a different direction, I found about 20 additional articles related to his military history and all prior to his campaign (but from the same newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal. Would those articles in any way change the decision on deletion and is there a way to go about further discussing the deletion?

Hey, I've been talking with Kevin Rutherford about the Suey Park article. I've found where her 2013 hashtag received quite a bit of coverage back in 2013, so it's not entirely a one event sort of deal. The coverage was global for #NotYourAsianSidekick, so I've started working on a copy in my userspace. I'm content to incubate it in my userspace for the time being, but I think that the arguments at AfD mostly focused on the Colbert issue and sort of only gave lipservice to the coverage she received in 2013 because there weren't many RS in the article. The events were somewhat close together, but they are separate events all the same. I just thought I'd ask your opinion on this since you were the closing admin. Like I said, I'm fine with incubating for now and gathering coverage over time since I do think that there's a good chance she'll end up getting more coverage to have a more solid keep but I figured hey- why not ask? Worst you could do is say that you still think a redirect is the better choice, but the best is that we could run this through DR and get it un-redirected.

Things you probably never read on Bwilkins' talk page in the first place
I could really use some help mediating with what's very obviously a hostile editor. Long story short, I decided to AfD an article rather than outright delete it because there was some assertion of notability. It turned into a fairly long and overly dramatic thing where I've tried to explain things to an editor, only for them to pretty much systematically abuse and insult me on the talk page. It's really getting stupid now and it's enough to where I'd personally think a short 1-2 day block would probably effectively get the point across that personal attacks are not kosher. I think it's the same person as User:Anfasimov2013 (who I also think is the subject of the article, although he denies it). I've asked outright since I don't want to automatically assume that it's the same person. The editing style is the same. I really should've just ignored the small assertion of notability and outright deleted it. No good deed goes unpunished, eh? In any case, can you step in here? He's pretty obviously not going to be reasonable to anything I say. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:50, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I recently posted an article on myself and it was deleted for "non verifiable sources". I can not think of how to verify some of the information without pointing towards links to works I have published and which are for sale (such as an Amazon link?) or to my personal website ( http://www.pradigen.com). In either case, any information I give about myself is necessarily "unverifiable" such as age, location of birth, etc. I believe both links above are frowned upon because they are "promoting myself" and so did not post them. It seems like unless an author or entity is extremely well known then they are not noteworthy enough yet to be listed in Wikipedia? I'm not sure what to do here. I am an author in America with a published work. How would you suggest I go about rectifying any issues with the previous page. It was for Robert Street (American Author and Activist). Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PRADIGen ( talk • contribs) 17:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm just letting you know since you know about the discussion. It's getting flooded with comments which are started to become personal, like speculation about Lukeno's beliefs and insinuating that I'm dishonest, or disingenuous, or however it could be termed. I hope it doesn't need to be watched but I saw the comment against me this morning and went to the user's talk page to try to make peace, and then saw he was getting a bit personal with another editor as well.

Just curious what exactly are "snippy comments", and how they relate to hampering my ability to "see things, and fix them"? You do realize, I hope, that during the time that the sanctions have been in effect, there have been thousands of corrections and improvements that no one will ever see, at least not until someone else sees them and fixes them, or the sanctions are removed so that I can fix them, if I can even find them again? In what universe does that benefit our millions of readers? A good editor, who sees corrections, is willing to fix them, but can not fix them, due to some very obscure sanctions, how is that helping? Why would making "snippy comments", whatever they are, justify making yet more people not benefit from those errors and improvements? Who benefits from the sanctions that I am under? No one. Who benefits from them being removed? Everyone. If this is exactly what you mean by "snippy comments", I wish everyone would make more "snippy comments". Apteva ( talk) 08:40, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Let me start out by saying that I have a lot of respect for you as an administrator. I think you generally keep a cool head and approach things reasonably. I am a little concerned about RetroLord though. I am not giving what he says total credit but He did ask you to not visit his userpage. I only say that because from all appearances he appears to have good intentions towards the project and is (from what I assume) a rather young editor and possibly doesn't understand your good intentions. Maybe it might be better to not visit his userpage unless absolutely nec. until he gets his mind wrapped around things. I could be completely wrong and maybe he changed his mind but sometimes it just stirs the pot to go against his wishes (I understand why you were there (and the headline is a slight bit on the abf side for sure). Like I say, I think his perception isn't nec. right in this case, so please don't take this as a you are a terrible admin diatribe because it really is the opposite of how I perceive you.

I am asking this question here, as I think it would be off-topic in the ANI thread.
I did upload to flickr the image Arctic Kangaroo wanted deleted from the commons. It is a properly licensed image, free for anyone in the world to re-use, for any purpose, provided they honored the terms of the license.
I attributed the image to Arctic Kangaroo, as the license requires. I included a link to the license, as the license requires. So, I believe I honored the terms of the license. Subsequently, I uploaded his other images, also complying with the terms of his license.
You suggested I should erase the image, and the half dozen others, from flickr. Perhaps you thought I was claiming or implying they were my own work?
If, now that you know I was complying with his license, you still think I should erase those images, I'd be very grateful if you would explain why you think so, and why you think those uploads were a bad idea.
I already replied to your comment about lapsing from WP:OUTING. If you agree that Arctic Kangaroo volunteered this information, and I did not, after all, lapse from WP:OUTING, can I ask you to consider striking that comment? Geo Swan ( talk) 15:32, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bwilkins, on your userpage is a userbox stating, "This user might or might not have an academic degree, and considers the distinction irrelevant on Wikipedia." I'm curious as to what is meant by this, and I have two ideas in mind here: 1) do you mean to say that an academic degree is not a prerequisite to academic-level knowledge and scholarly understanding? Or 2) do you mean to say that knowledge and understanding are irrelevant on Wikipedia? To observe that a degree is just a certification of a presumed underlying reality (knowledge and understanding) is obviously and almost trivially true. They're much more meaningful to those outside a field than to those inside it. But this is a very different from saying that someone whose knowledge is deep only in the fields of 4chan, magic the gathering and video games is an appropriate person to manage an encyclopedia. On Wikipedia, it's mainly the latter that this argument is used to defend. It feels to me like shoehorning. What are your thoughts on this? 24.19.234.62 ( talk) 15:38, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Please come to my talk page as soon as you can. Keeby101 ( talk) 22:24, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Hey Bwilkins, before I begin I would like to say that I am sorry for asking that question earlier about how to cite my sourced properly as well as the tone I used when doing so. :(
Anyway, I would like to discuss with you about a rather old topic that I had been giving a rest for a few days until recently. I have made a new map and added as many sources as possible to back it up. Kathovo and I had a talk on my talk page and he said that if I insisted on using that map as the Infobox image of the article, then we would have to try to reach a consensus with other users. So far, no one has responded to my latest comment on the Sassanian Empire talk page. I posted my latest map of the Sasanian Empire along with all of my sources to back it up. With that being said, is it safe to make my change to the article yet? Reason why I am asking this is because a long time ago, a user named Rupert Clayton told me that if no one responds to me within a reasonable time that I should be bold and make my change. So should I put up my map as the infobox image of the article now? Or should I still wait for a consensus to be reached? Keeby101 ( talk) 02:18, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I didn't "remove valid questions or comments." I copied and pasted my old Unblock request, and accidentally added a question from the last time someone commented. When I noticed my mistake, I deleted it.
If you'll notice, the same "valid question or comment" that I "removed" was right below in my last unblock request- AND was signed and dated from BEFORE I made my most recent unblock request. Please stop accusing me of things I didn't do. Why would I even do something like that?

And why do you talk to voluntary contributors the way you talk to them? I don't have a "case" that I'm trying to help; I'm not fighting jail time. I'm a person who volunteers his time to edit Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Wikisource in multiple languages so that some guy can go get paid to give speeches about what a great job he did in "creating" Wikipedia. "Don't push your fortuitous luck"? Why would you say something like that to a volunteer? I don't have to help any Wikimedia projects. No one has to help any Wikimedia projects.
What on Earth could I possibly have to gain from asking you to unblock me? Do you think I love doing this just to pester you? No; it bothers me greatly that I have to go through this red tape just to be allowed to do something I was able to do about a month ago, something that I don't have to do at all.

Hey B, I noted your involvement in the current ANI thread regarding Arctic Kangaroo. It may not have escaped your attention that AK has substantial similarities in behavioural problems to a certain Tomnnnnn, who later changed his username and his behaviour. AK doesn't, of course, have the same problem with requesting dozens of user-rights on dozens of projects. And I have since learned that qualities that Tomnnnnn claimed for himself, which I flatly accused him of lying about, were actually true and real. (Egg on face? I had it.) And finally, of course, Tomnnnnn now turns out to be a very constructive and unproblematic editor, as you know.
One of the first things I did to point Tomnnnnn on that path was an adoption course. What the adoptee learns from the adoption course is useful; but in reality the important thing is to slow down the over-eager youngster. Every minute they spend reading and re-reading the adoption course, and then answering the questions, and then re-reading the questions because they got them wrong the first time, is an extra minute they are not getting themselves into trouble by trying to edit every page on Wikipedia all at once (or trying to win numerical AfC contests, or whatever else it is that clever kids do.)
Did this work? I think so.
Anyway, at my request, Tomnnnnn is willing to run through an adoption course with AK, with me monitoring and advising along the way. Tomnnnnn knows the ropes, and I know the underlying problems.
This would also require that AK actually agree to this and follow through with it, which may or may not be a hurdle. His current attitude would need to change, either during the course or before it.
If AK does agree to this, would you agree to a 3 month restriction from AfC, rather than a 6 month one? -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 22:25, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fadil Husayn Salih Hintif -- its the very first nomination User:DBigXray made on articles I started.

I picked your name from some admin list and I see you have a fair history. Could you please look at my user page. I have not edited for about two years after I gave up from harassment stress from other editors. My IP changes from time to time so maybe that is related to it. Anyway I have not even made an article edit yet and have attempted to link my old IP account to my current IP and I get what appears to be harassment from some editor about being a sockpuppet with some hundreds of other editors. The editor BullRnagifer seems to keep an IP hatred page for his battleground behavior. Is this classic for IP editors to get jumped on like this? Can people really edit without an account? If not why is it allowed? If Wikipedia is just a constant barrage of harassment I need to not be involved with such a place. It seems it belongs to a certain group of editors that won't allow anybody else in. Please see if I am out-to-lunch and this is warranted or whether this editor is just a large dog eating me for a snack.

...for editing warring on my talk page, he's still editing (not on my talk page) as of 10 minutes ago using his alternate account Epicfailure 2. [5] He seems to know that he shouldn't be doing it, because that edit was to remove the note on his talk page that it was an alternate account of Epicgenius, so he was trying to cover his tracks. (Of course, it still says that on the user page).
He also has another account, Ef alt. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:17, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Epicgenius clearly knew that he wasn't supposed to use his socks for editing while blocked, or he wouldn't have edited the Epicfailure 2 talk page to downplay the connection, had the Epicfailure 2 user page speedy-deleted to remove the connection that was there, and then tried to remove the connection from Epicgenius' user page using Ef alt, with an edit summary that said somethng like "Stop f****ing lying, I'm not Epicgenius". All of that is clear evidence that Epicgenius was attempting to disconnect from his alternate accounts so that he could use them to edit with.
The thing about Epicgenius is that I think he's well-meaning, and he may, overall, be a net-positive to the project, but he makes a lot of little mistakes, doesn't react well when he's corrected, and has exceedingly poor judgment. As I said elsewhere today, I don't think extending his block even more would be as effective as having an admin read him the riot act, restrict him to one account, and take away his semi-automated tools. He works much too fast to be giving any real thought to what he's doing, which exacerbates the problem of his poor judgment. He needs to slow down (something that Pburka told him just yesterday) and give real consideration to his edits, this isn't a race that he has to "finish".

A Season of Forgiveness - an Olive Branch |
Across many faiths, and in many countries, it's a season of friendship, family, celebration and forgiveness. Throughout this year, I have been unfortunately involved in a number of on-wiki "altercations". To those involved, please know that there has never been an intent to demean, belittle, attack, or anger you. However, through either my actions, or the wording I have used, I have offended and/or angered a number of you, my on-wiki colleagues and fellow human beings. For this, I apologize profusely and sincerely. For most of you, we have been able to resolve these communucation challenges together - however, there are number of you where this was unfortunately not possible. In a very small number of those cases the situation escalated to a point where I requested that you no longer post here on my talkpage. In the interest of personal peace, and in the spirit of true forgiveness, I rescind any such limitations. May we take this opportunity to work peacefully together towards the common goal of open knowledge for all

Hi, I feel that your response to my statements of harassment by Uyvsdi was inappropriate:
I think that's pretty obviously an unreasonable, poorly considered, immaturely rendered statement, and due to the lack of balance probably ought to be escalated to the next level up. If nothing else, claims of harassment and Wikilawyering should be taken seriously, not treated with contempt. I have posted nothing that should lead to a block, and nothing I have posted will lead to a block. If it did somehow lead to a block, it would be to the disadvantage of Wikipedia, and not to me, because I have spent a lot of valuable time editing articles, and have tried to be polite, respectful, and balanced while doing so, though I admit I have made mistakes. I did not make this complaint lightly, and I repeatedly warned the offender before making the complaint. I want to know why you, as someone responsible for dealing with complaints such as this, is choosing to deal with it in this irresponsible and unbalanced manner. I suspect bias on your part due to Uyvsdi being a "named" user. Please apologize for the wording of your statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.171.145.148 ( talk) 00:02, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

I feel you are being extremely heavy handed by giving me an edit warring charge or appearance of edit warring charge. It is pretty obvious from a little observation that the Hendrix article is tightly controlled by several people that in general do a good job of editing and caring for it. However the writing quality is not always so good on it. It uses kind of a convoluted writing which ends up being a little precious and sounds to honorific. I reverted back to an edit I made. That is not edit warring. I request that you remove the warning from my page. You can respond here I will watch this page for a day or two. There is no point in working up some state of ill will with this article. A new person should be able to come in and edit the article without being confronted if the edits are improving.

Hello, DangerousPanda. This may be nothing, but it appears that Haitian patty was deleted on or about 17 February (according to this) and then re-created on 6 March. I don't see an AfD discussion, so maybe it was deleted by CSD or PROD. I happen to remember that the page existed before 6 March because I nominated a non-free image from the page for deletion back in February.

Hello there. I wanted to let you know of this discussion on my talk page. It appears that the reasons for User:Mark Marathon's (MM) block are a bit unclear to user Anthonyhcole, and given that I asked him to apologize to me for some comments he made about me at the AN and on MM's page, and he did, I believe it appropriate for me to follow through on my side and consider his requests as stated at my talk page. Upon said consideration, I do not think it appropriate for me to take a position for or against unblocking Mr. Marathon, but I DO think it would be helpful if you could clarify if there were reasons for Mr. Marathon's block other than the dispute between him and myself at Rangeland and the ensuing AN, and if so, what they were.

DangerousPanda I would like to have more rights on Wikipedia, since most of the new editors/ users kept on dominating stating newbie* newbie*, how far it is true that a editor for more or less than 1 year cannot nominate a page under WP:CSD? WOWॐIndian Talk 12:57, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
Total Siyapaa is a Indian Bollywood movie with a Pakistani lead Ali Zafar. even though the movie got overwhelmingly negative reviews the Wikipedia page ( /info/en/?search=Total_Siyapaa) gave wrong information that the movie got positive reviews and got good opening. the page was protected and couldn't be edited. When I submitted edit request this adminstrator Ibnebatutaji started wrongly accusing me of being a sock of varkley. I am new in Wikipedia editing. I heard this name sock for first time. This vvarkley guy is old user. You understood that accusation was wrong and blocked this Ibnebatutaji. Now he showed his ip address as 39.32.187.61 which i traced to rawalpindi Pakistan. it's clear that Ibnebatutaji is a pakistani who is supporting the actor from his country and used his administrator rights to favour n Indian movie with Pakistani actor Ali Zafar. Wikipedia administrator can't be this biased. I hope Wikipedia takes action against Ibnebatutaji and blocks all his ip address. As I mentioned earlier I am new new in Wikipedia editing, so I don't know what to do exactly to publish the correct information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZORDANLIGHTER ( talk • contribs) 17:24, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Some users are removing my comments and typing the same thing again in Total Siyapaa talk page. Their accounts were opened after a previous account was blocked. Does wikipedia has any way to stop a user who goes on creating sock after sock accounts in order to support his own statements and arguments.I know Accusation of sock without any evidence is considered personal attack and that's the reason I am not mentioning any name. But even if this users are found to be asock in the future(assumption not confirmed) but that won't stop him from opening new accounts to support his cause.

Bwilkins closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fadil Husayn Salih Hintif as redirect after deletion. Are you User:Bwilkins?
Many administrators who close AFD as redirect, redirect without first deleting the article. If you are Bwilkins can you tell me why you made the opposite decision?
FWIW List of Guantanamo Bay detainees is not the best choice of redirect target, for various reasons -- mainly that it is almost 8 years out of date. I've made numerous proposals to bring it up to date, which you can see at Talk:List of Guantanamo Bay detainees. Other Guantanamo captives articles were redirected to the article summarizing the captives from their nation. Geo Swan ( talk) 00:46, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Both auto and confirmed are basically the same, yet autoconfirmed are less likely to be taken seriously because anyone can be autoconfirmed just after ten edits. According to this: [17], "In some situations, it is necessary for accounts to be exempted from the customary confirmation period." It is unlikey that autoconfirmed will be taken seriously more than confirmed by users who think that their POV ideas are more important than a legit source. It may not help with newly registered users, but more likely veteran editors will take you seriously because an admin such as yourself has given that special authority to that particular user. -- ♣Jerm♣ 729 20:18, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi DangerousPanda,I am beginning undeleting procedure for an article relating to Igor Janev. Please, Help. This is legitimate request.

See http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1449737#sitelinks-wikipedia I can see that the operator of these accounts has behaved foolishly and may well continue doing so, but I don't think deleting the page is the right answer for an encyclopedia.

I know i am on a 3day block , and thus i do not edit anything . But that does not mean that i cannot communicate with you , for something that now should be obvious to you as well .
Regarding Fan Noli , after my block i noticed some more edits by Dr.K which i shall copy paste to you ( in order to just show you what is obvious with the hope that you wont block me again ) and that you of course restore the article >
So now Noli not only he is not albanian ( thanks to experienced Dr.K but he is either vlach , greek , or bulgarian ... peek anything you want just not albanian ) Revision .
In addition the user with the ip 108.5.41.18 , which i believe to be Dr.K , removed any sources or established material which were containing the word Albanian .
What is more important i checked all the sources claiming Bulgarian or greek or vlack origin , and NO SOURCE WAS SHOWING that .... in fact they had not even a single relation to Fan Noli or what it was claimed .
If this is not obvious to you , i dont know what more to say .... ! I hope that you will see what i am seeing , and i really hope that wiki is all about facts , and not a place for heavy propaganda and WP NINJA tactics . Regards , John 94.234.170.186 ( talk) 15:12, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
In addition just checking all links hypothetically proving the greek origin of his name . ALL OF THEM are books that cannot be verified .... and all of them were added after the 3RR by him ! he has put a link on a book , and then added a text of his liking that he has created on his mind ... I do not know , but let us forget this for a moment and concentrate on this fact > Is he a living encyclopedia that he found 10 books 1 day after he intervened on a matter between me and (Alexikoua that he claimed no relation ) all of them speaking about Noli ?
What will it take , should i go and buy 2 or 3 of those books and scan them here , to prove that he is lying ( alhtough i should not even bother because SOURCES SHOULD BE VERIFIABLE ONLINE BY ALL PARTIES , SO THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE THER ) ? Will you then initiate any action against him ???? All in all i dont care about him , but can you please restore the article , given the Wikipedia:Verify rule and in particular Wikipedia:REDFLAG . 94.234.170.186 ( talk) 15:36, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
and 1 more that i just noticed ..... !!!!! This text was removed by that ip user ( aka DR.K ) ... > Noli moved back to the United States in 1932 and formed a republican opposition to Zogu, who had since proclaimed himself "King Zog I". Over the next years, he continued his education, studying and later teaching Byzantine music, and continued developing and promoting the autocephalous Albanian Orthodox Church he had helped to found. While in exile, he briefly allied with King Zog, who fled Albania before the invading Italians in 1939, but was unable to set a firm anti-Axis, anti-Communist front. <
Why ? So that to give the impression that Fan Noli was a greek person that created a GREEK church ( and not the authocephalus church of albania ) in albania ... This also by adding blank sources of non existing books , and some other sources of other books that exist but have no relation to what is being claimed !
Sorry for this spam . I am done , i dont know what more to say . I hope that you will restore the version , or at least unblock me , so that i go and buy those books , and i scan them to you , to show you the definition of tragicomedy . 94.234.170.186 ( talk) 16:10, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

The "Rob Maness" article was recently deleted completely due to a lack of notability prior to his campaign for the Louisiana Senate Seat. I was going to create a redirect to United States Senate election in Louisiana, 2014 but wasn't sure of the proper way to go about this for an article that has already been deleted. Any guidance would be great.
In a different direction, I found about 20 additional articles related to his military history and all prior to his campaign (but from the same newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal. Would those articles in any way change the decision on deletion and is there a way to go about further discussing the deletion?

Hey, I've been talking with Kevin Rutherford about the Suey Park article. I've found where her 2013 hashtag received quite a bit of coverage back in 2013, so it's not entirely a one event sort of deal. The coverage was global for #NotYourAsianSidekick, so I've started working on a copy in my userspace. I'm content to incubate it in my userspace for the time being, but I think that the arguments at AfD mostly focused on the Colbert issue and sort of only gave lipservice to the coverage she received in 2013 because there weren't many RS in the article. The events were somewhat close together, but they are separate events all the same. I just thought I'd ask your opinion on this since you were the closing admin. Like I said, I'm fine with incubating for now and gathering coverage over time since I do think that there's a good chance she'll end up getting more coverage to have a more solid keep but I figured hey- why not ask? Worst you could do is say that you still think a redirect is the better choice, but the best is that we could run this through DR and get it un-redirected.
