User:Jllproductions, whom you rightly blocked for having a spam username (he'd tried to create an article on a company of the same name) has requested an unblock, and, after a few rounds of discussion, seems to have adequately understood (or, at least, expressed an understanding) of the problems of spamming and promised not to do it anymore. Do you have any objections to an unblock? He hasn't actually formatted a proper unblock request, but I think the intent is clear. Qwyrxian ( talk) 10:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for getting back to me. So should those sorta names be reported in general? Personally, I've only been reporting them if they make vandalesque edits (sorta like "promotional" usernames and their edits). EvergreenFir ( talk) 04:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
I've unblocked this user (see your TP archive 17, thread 1.283) under the conditions that he change his username and avoid linking to his site in future, both of which he's agreed to. No action needed on your part, just letting you know.Cheers, Yunshui 雲 水 07:49, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Just ran into an edit conflict with you there. I hadn't thought of the possibility this was more than one person. I have to laugh at the accusation I've been edit warring - that was what I was responding to when we had the edit conflict. This IP is pretty obviously and openly(changing to appears to me to be, see below) anti-Muslim. Hopefully know he/she/they has managed to get attract enough attention. It will be interesting to see if we get any SPAs as the article is semi-protected for the rest of the month.

Could you come and check the WP:ANI section entitled "Brahma Kumaris: Protecting individual privacy"?

The user was blocked (and made the unfortunate decision to create and edit talk pages from another account, with an unsuitable user name)
You denied an official unblock request because it was non-responsive, but I am wondering if you have a moment to look at the user's recent statement at User_talk:81.240.180.58#Comment -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:22, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps you've seen the latest discussion about NRIS-only stubs at WT:NRHP, which has led to the creation of pages such as User:Dudemanfellabra/NRISOnly. I'm currently going through the "Articles with only one source that is not NRIS" section, marking things that have a badly formatted NRIS citation and removing entries that are sourced to something else. Among the latter category are many of your New York articles such as United States Post Office (Granville, New York), which have "just one source" because they're written from the nominations. Of course I'm not complaining that you're using the nominations! I'm simply coming here to ask if you could go through your New York creations and add NRIS citations (or New York SHPO citations, if applicable) to the infoboxes, since the nomination form doesn't mention the property's reference number or the date when it was added to the Register.

Hi Daniel. I recently listed User:BlackBab00nHamilton at the UAA noticeboard with the suggestion that the account should be renamed per WP:BLPABUSE, as the username is a racial attack against Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. However HBC AIV helperbot7 removed the listing because the account has already been blocked. I'm assuming that if I relist the account at UAA, the bot will just remove it again, so I thought I would approach you directly, as you appear to be active at the UAA holding pen. Thanks.

Hello Daniel Case, I was just wondering whether, considering your recent indefinite block of Edaniels1004 ( talk · contribs), the page Wikipedia:Edaniels1004 should be deleted. Thanks, Toccata quarta ( talk) 07:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
I've just spotted at WP:UAA you've not blocked, for example, "Vantage Production Ltd". Surely that account is either misleading due to it not being controlled by a company, or it is controlled by a company and therefore afoul of our rules about accounts only being for one user? I can see a few cases where you've declined to block in similar circumstances, and I don't understand the logic for letting them lie when, for example, "Juiceentertainment" has just been blocked on these grounds.

Hello Daniel. Could you take another look at the unblock rationale that this user provided and indicate what more he can do?

Since I've talked with you in the past about the UAA list, I thought I'd turn to you in this case. Another admin was clearing out the UAA list and removed two ( 1 and 2) [potentially] offensive names because of their lack of edits. I've not seen any other admin have this policy, nor is it mentioned anywhere in the guidelines or on TW. I understand why we have this policy for promo names, but it seems unreasonable to patently disregard offensive usernames because of their lack of edits. Indeed, I've seen many usernames be hard blocked for offensiveness without any edits. As I've explained to the admin, my issue is not with the ruling of offensiveness, it's the removal of the names due to lack of edits (instead of a UAA|no and it being left on the board for others to see and possible discuss). I just request that a second opinion on this issue. Thank you for your time. EvergreenFir ( talk) 22:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

You previously issued a block against the user, but whenever the anonymous IP user is blocked, he or she just comes back again under a different IP address.
Over a sustained long period of time, the amount of disruption that he or she has caused to articles is huge.

If I report him or her to "Administrator intervention against vandalism", I may possibly be told by Admin that not enough warnings have been issued against the latest IP address 68.186.161.55. But the problem is that he or she continually does this under different IP addresses and evades blocks in this way.

Hi, Daniel. I'm just wondering how a section about how to get around the accident is germane to the article. Doesn't WP:NOTTRAVEL still apply? Epicgenius ( talk) 16:53, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
But I think that how the two railroads—including the one whose train did not derail—responded to the accident in terms of guaranteeing service to their riders is useful information, for comparison purposes if nothing else should something similar happen in the future. We did, after all, find Sandy's effect on the city's transportation network notable enough to have a section on (and that's sort of how that section of the derailment article should read once this is all safely in the past). Daniel Case ( talk) 22:55, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
These can be interpreted by some as travel directions for the commute on Monday, and they were not under WP:NOTTRAVEL because you added that text today. By contrast, Sandy's effects on transport were just that—effects on transport. So, your text was not exactly travel directions; however, they sounded like they were.

Dual-reported on the usernames for admin attention board: JosephSmithMarriedA14yearOldGirl ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) - I see an immediate do-something situation but I don't handle the username reviews often, and you do, so ... Please take a look as rapidly as you can. Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 23:31, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that you tagged the above name as possibly inappropriate. Obviously, as an admin, you could have just blocked. I'm guessing that you tagged to see what they'd say before making a decision. So, if they never reply, what's the plan? I'm asking this to get feedback so I know how to handle these when they sit for a week or so.
Also, on ones that seem okay, when removing the category, I'm thinking of dropping a note to let the tagger and the user know that it's resolved. Please feel free to comment or modify: User:Anna Frodesiak/White sandbox

User DVdm has reverted at least 20 of my 60 or more edits without cause. He has done it twice now despite a normal warning from me, from my talk page, user Speling12345. Each of his 20 or so edits is listed under 'm' for minor. A special counter at DVdm's talk page brags about being vandalized 83 times, so perhaps user DVdm is a consistent problem case on Wikipedia. This is not a vandalism concern. I had wanted to contact an administrator directly. What is the administrator suggestion? Speling12345 ( talk) 10:07, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello Daniel, I reported this username few days back and you did comment that it "maybe" an exceptional case of "Mark at Alcoy". This report hung on there for like two or three days and it was removed with an edit summary " No immediate admin action needed".I expected Admin action there though. I am well aware of WP:ISU and I place WP:UCS over any other guidelines. Is Mark allowed to add spam links about Alcoy, just because his username has "Mark" in it?Had his username been "Alcoy Inc", he would have been blocked immediately. DO we expect helpful contribution from Mark? or Dipanjan in this case?? I don't think so... This username is here just for promotion regardless of their prefix or suffix. Using common sense is also an "accepted guideline" at Wikipedia. Sooner or later this guy will come again and will add spam links to the article, he has been doing so and we can't block him cuz he falls under "Mark at Alcoy" exception. I am contacting you cuz I believe this case was taken very lightly, no consensus was reached and report was removed. Regards and Happy New Year :) Hitro talk 20:30, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

There's no way this needs a fundamental rewrite to be made encyclopaedic. It needs a little bit of a copyedit, to be sure, but it falls well short of any reasonable G11. You should undelete it, so it can be cleaned up, properly referenced, etc. (And adding good references in this case is surprisingly easy). Wily D 14:45, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
::So is this the way CSD works? A company creates its own article in clear COI. The article is clearly A11 & G11 but because another editor makes a vague claim of notability the CSD is removed and the article is essentially left in its original state as written by the company but with a few tags added which no one will likely address. So the COI author successfully places their advertised company on WP.

The most basic issue is that the massive pile of citations actually runs the risk of taking the documentation away from the official standards. Barring errors such as typos, data in NRIS are the standards, and any conflicts between the old listing pages are the results of documentation updates/status changes/etc. by the NPS. This is the whole reason that we have the citation at the top of the table (citation #4 as of the diff in question), since it's the source for everything in the column. Everything in these tables is supposed to be derived from NRIS, except for things presented with citations to other sources: names (which don't use en-dashes, by the way), listing dates, verbal locations, coordinates, and cities are all solely dependent on NRIS and mustn't be changed unless we find an error or unless we provide alternate documentation, e.g. some other source gives the location of a site that's restricted by NPS.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi Daniel – you blocked 78.32.196.49 for 48 hours yesterday. It's a repeat vandal with an identifiable editing pattern, mostly using dynamic BT addresses, which he will come back to if the block is short (see 86.157.182.246 for instance). He's been around since at least last October and I've been issuing month-long blocks when I catch him on BT to avoid this behaviour (e.g. 86.147.44.132) – I think the same should be done for this Entanet address (possibly longer as it may well be a fixed IP). Happy to extend the block myself, but wanted to notify you first as a matter of courtesy. — SMALL JIM 14:16, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

RE: Wiki Project Fashion - Karl Templer
Hi Daniel
I wanted to contact you about creating a page for british-born stylist and creative director of Interview magazine Karl Templer. I have been trying to create a page for him for a few weeks now but I keep running into technical difficulties.
I have cited the book Stylist: Interpreters of Fashion by Sarah Mower and Style.com as sources along with a feature in the New York Times.
Please follow the link to my sandbox: /info/en/?search=User:Freemans_land/sandbox

Hi, I notice the block message at User talk:Virgin EMI you added. Am I correct that they are still free to edit talk pages (article and user talk). They had indicated an interest in donating at least one more free image. Also, I had said (thinking it's true) that they are allowed to comment on the talk page of an article (namely Kiesza), but couldn't dictate content. I would like to know there's a manner by which they can communicate. While article subjects should never edit their own article, they're often the only or best source of images. -- Rob ( talk) 02:59, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

(Note: I'd drafted this before I'd seen Daniel's note above that he will be away for a week. I'm posting it anyway in case he has a chance to see it, or so that he'll see it when he comes back, or perhaps someone else will comment.)
On skimming the requests-for-unblock category I came across the request by Beastra. You blocked this account for "spamming" back in September. I've checked the contributions (there are no deleted contributions) and as far as I can see on-wiki, the "spamming" consisted of one edit. In that edit, the user added a link to the BLP of a notable but lesser-known writer, linking to an interview of that writer contained in the editor's personal blog.
Unless I have missed something, I am not sure that this edit is fairly categorized as "spam." We obviously don't want editors whose purpose on-wiki is to add or spam links to their own sites, but the linked blog post was an interview with the BLP subject herself. The link was a useful contribution to the article especially given that all of the other sources were several years old. I am not certain that adding this single link to the article constituted a policy violation. While it might have been better practice to propose the link on the talkpage, this is a lesser-trafficked article and there can be no assurance that such a suggestion would have received a timely response.
More importantly, the single "spam" edit was the user's very first edit. There was no reason to assume that she was familiar with our policies concerning spamming or COI editing. After Xlinkbot reverted the link (presumably because of "Wordpress" in the URL) and advised the editor of the relevant policy and guideline pages, she did not add the link again or do anything else inappropriate. (In fact, she didn't make any other edits at all.) I appreciate that you are active in protecting the project from nuisances and threats such as spammers, but based on this very limited history I would not have blocked.
In any event, the user has now posted an unblock request and, in response to Jpgordon's initial unblock denial, has confirmed that she will not add further cites to her personal blog. Thus, I hope you don't object to her being unblocked now. Thanks and regards, Newyorkbrad ( talk) 20:31, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I was just doing some work on NRHP lists and notice sometimes you add new listings to them. Specifically I noticed
your edit to Orange County, New York, a while back. Looking through your contributions, it seems the most recently you've done any work with NRHP lists is March, so I assume you still occasionally do that. The reason for this comment is to alert you to a script that exists to make renumbering jobs such as the one in your diff above automated. If you install the script
User:Dudemanfellabra/ReorderNRHPlist.js into your JavaScript, it will add a button at the top of any NRHP list to click to renumber it. You can add a new item with any |pos=
parameter you want or even leave it blank, then save the page, click the button, and the script does the renumbering for you. Feel free to ignore this message, but I know it's saved me a lot of time. Just wanted to point it out for future reference!--

Hi Daniel, I previously asked a question about 1RR on abortion related pages that I'm still not clear on. The question involves conduct policy, after the initial revert, with respect to further general editing on that same page. For example, If I revert the contribution of an editor, and then that revert is later reverted by another editor, and then I don’t touch it again, I leave that editor’s contribution exactly as is, but within that same 24 hour period, I edit content from another uninvolved editor, is that a violation of the 1RR?

Since TheLittleDuke ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) got blocked, he has been engaging with people pretty civilly on his talk page. He has retracted the legal threats (on-Wiki retraction, deleted of tweets from Twitter) and is willing to accept mentoring.
Do you think an unblock is in order, either with the current restrictions or additional restrictions? I had thought for a topic ban from mentioning himself or his company in article space might be in order, but I think mentoring might be the better path forward to constructive editing. — C.Fred ( talk) 02:26, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
Sarek's talk page is on my watchlist, so I noticed this unblock request. I've left a comment in that thread.

Could you do me a favour please and keep an eye on user talk: Liamb Productions? I unblocked this user on 3rd June so they could request a username change. As the template didn't work for some reason on their userpage I emailed them to let them know and added the template once I could. However they still haven't changed their username or requested the change though they have edited.

Hi Daniel. Sorry, but I feel obliged to disagree strongly with you on this one - the fact that the (clearly intentional) insult had gone undetected for almost a year doesn't in any way excuse it. A username that is a direct insult towards a specific editor is simply not permissable, and given that this user began their editing career by reverting Bidgee and consequently engaged in slow but persistent wiki-hounding makes a coincidental spelling anomaly ridiculous. Normally I wouldn't block an account when another administrator had already deemed the name acceptable, but in this instance, I really don't think it can be allowed to stand. I've therefore blocked the account. Best wishes, Yunshui 雲 水 13:37, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

You blocked Shitty Watercolour ( talk · contribs) last year for having "shitty" in his username. User:Shitty Watercolour is the subject of the article Shitty Watercolour, which I created through AfC. After the article was accepted, I had asked him to create an account in order to upload some of his paintings to the Commons, so that I could add them to the article about him. Can he be unblocked without changing his username? Shitty Watercolour is his pseudonym, by which he is widely known - even the numerous sources in the article refer to him by that name.
Also pinging Bwilkins, who declined his unblock request, and also said that the Shitty Watercolour article didn't yet exist at that time - that can't be true because the article existed in articlespace before Shitty Watercolour created his account.

Hi again Daniel,
I was glad to meet you last weekend at the Wiknyc. I recalled reading about the Hammond House, but I couldn't seem to recall what I did read. Looking back on it, I'm now rather interested, because you wrote that it was in Eastview, a once-hamlet that I wrote the article for, largely because I didn't exactly know what Eastview was before I started researching it. Most people just know of the area as "Eastview" and don't know anything about what it really was. Anyway, I wanted to mention that the Hammond House article is conflicting in its location; it seems to indicate that it's in Eastview as well as in nearby Hawthorne (it's mentioned on the Hawthorne article as well). I would consider moving the article to Hammond House (Eastview, New York) for accuracy; it appears to be much closer to where Eastview was/is. Also, I should ask - the house is less than ten minutes' drive from my own; would you like me to take more exterior photos? This season's probably better for it too. As well, would you perhaps mind helping with my Briarcliff article and/or its FA review?
Many thanks,

Hi Daniel, I've noticed you from time to time decline AIV reports from Mr.Z-bot. This report I believe is not about the content changed, but rather the edit summary, see Special:AbuseFilter/523. Apparently the edit summary is linked to spambots. I have no idea what the intent is here, especially when the edits, just as you say, seem perfectly innocent. I also don't know why it's labeled as "page creation spammer". Perhaps Materialscientist can shed some light on this?
Frankly, I'm not sure about many of these filters... the logic is handled at User:Mr.Z-bot/filters.js, so clearly someone believes immediate administrative action is needed or else they wouldn't have been added to the list. From the looks of it, the list is seldom changed, and perhaps not well monitored. I thought maybe we could make note of questionable reports, and bring it to the attention of the filter's author if we believe it is a false positive.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 01:17, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Daniel, you blocked this user about 36 hours ago for persistent editing to introduce contractions into articles to the point (after repeated warnings) that your summary indicated it was to the point of vandalism ("ongoing and sneaky" was how you put it).
The IP's first edit after the block, a few hours ago, was solely to insert contractions into an article.

Hi - you'd asked me on my talk page whether my name was actually Phil Kessel (and sort of intimated i was 'dodging' a question about my identity). So you know, I wasn't dodging anything...I (1) had misunderstood the wiki policy re using a pubic figure's name; and (2) hadn't realized anyone seriously thought i was phil kessel (either the hockey player or otherwise). In hindsight, obviously it was really stupid to sign up under that name - but i had no bad intent. Someone came and explained on my page i was going against the wiki policy and should change my name - which I've done (it wasn't my intention to cause problems). but you'd mentioned something about my account being blocked and i wanted to make sure i wasn't doing anything to make that happen.

Hi DC, I respectfully disagree with this sort of response to AIV requests because it needlessly adds more steps to the anti-vandal process, which is already tedious. Though I understand your point, I disagree with the rationale; the sock operator *is* an obvious vandal with a history of pernicious edits, including elaborate hoax creation and repeated submission of plagiarized content. I could just as easily argue for and achieve a "Duck" block at SPI as I could at AIV, only it would take several days to get any action because SPI is backlogged. In this time, the sock would continue his disruptive nonsense. Anyhow, not trying to browbeat ya or be disrespectful, because you've certainly helped me out quickly many a time and I'm grateful for that, only asking for you to wax reminiscent about the hoops we non-admins sometimes have to jump through to get the job done. In the interim, I've filed the SPI report. Thank you, sir! Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:33, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

In marginal cases like that of User talk:AAMAExecDirector could you not discuss the name problem with the editor before blocking and adding that template. They had made three edits, #1, #2 and #3 all of which improved the article and were not in the least bit promotional. The third one was made after I had asked them this question.

Hello — Recently I reverted some vandalism from
this user. A while later, you blocked that user for vandalism and for having an inappropriate user name. I hope you'll pardon my ignorance, but may I ask why that user name was thought to be improper? Since it doesn't seem to attack or threaten anyone, or impersonate another individual, or suggest use by a company or group, all I could guess was that it's an offensive local idiom. Google is usually good at revealing the latest slang — there is always some teenage Web user, somewhere, eager to etch their latest language inventions in stone by adding it to an online list — but Google turned up nothing more relevant than
this. My apologies if this puts you in an awkward or embarrassing position, but could I buy a clue as to the (approximate) nature of the offense? Given that Wikipedia is a global discussion among multiple cultures, I'd rather know if there are new terms best not used in polite conversation. Thanks!

Had a questions about the Holding Pen, as the subject line indicates and figured you'd be the best person to ask (you're one of the, if not the, most active admins at UAA, after all): the Holding Pen guidelines indicates "please remove any users that are blocked, renamed, or have done nothing for over seven days" (emphasis mine), yet this does not seem to happen all that frequently. I'd happily help in cleaning out those cases (most of them of the 'wait until user edits' kind, where well over a week later, the user still hasn't), but I'd first like to make sure if 1. the guideline is still correct on this and 2. if there are any issues with a non-administrator removing them.

Thanks for reviewing her request for unblock. However, please see my note under the block template (and block rationale) and look again at her contributions. I don't see any unambiguous promotion, but I blocked not only for the infringing user name but also for copyvio: I've since found copyvio in all her edits (although one source may be free to reuse - government publication) and reverted the lot. She needs to demonstrate she understands that she must not copy text after unblock. Yngvadottir ( talk) 20:39, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I see you have just issued a 72-hour block to JHUbal27 for disruptive editing. Maybe it's pointless now, but the same editor "attempted" to post this vulgar message . I say "attempted" because it was a pretty bad machine translation basically titled "Suck my d*ck" which goes on to make various racist comments about Japanese people. This was done in response to my undoing some questionable edits he made to the page Frankie Grande. My guess is that he looked through my userboxes, saw that I speak Japanese, and felt posting in "Japanese" would be more hurtful as well as less likely to be seen as personal attack. On the surface, this kind of thing is laughable: a complete fail. At a deeper level, however, it is really kind of disturbing, especially since this editor is apparently only a high school student. They actually had to go through multiple steps—look through my userboxes, think of something nasty to say, find an online translator to translate it—before posting their "message" on my talk page. Not sure if this would or even should have any bearing on the duration of this block; It is apparent, however, that a previous block seems to have had no effect upon their behavior. It also is apparent that they no longer have any qualms about esclalating things to the next level. I apologize if it is inappropriate for me to post this stuff here. If there's a better place for me to post this, please let me know. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly ( talk) 08:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

I assume you have the best possible intentions, but absent a detailed understanding of my situation, I would like to ask you to just closely follow the Wikipedia policies (as quoted in my latest unblock request).
I am a autoconfirmed editor and have absolutely no history of malicious edits, but I see myself unable to improve wiki content from certain locations affected by an IP address block (which should really affect only unregistered users!)
Yes, I can travel to a different location (which is unaffected by this block) every time I want to, for example, post a message on your talk page, but is this really what is desired when you refuse to grant me the unblock (or explain to me how to navigate the unblock request bureaucracy) despite clear policies which say I should be unblocked?
Does it really add value to the world we live in that we engage in this protracted dialog, instead me getting unblocked and being able to help improve Wikipedia immediately when I notice a need for that?
Thank you for your thoughtful response!

For example, if I go to Rorig Bridge and click the nomination link in Internet Explorer, it goes blank, while if I view the same page in Firefox, it complains that it needs me to enable some sort of Java, even though I've updated everything as far as I know.

Perhaps you've seen the latest discussion about NRIS-only stubs at WT:NRHP, which has led to the creation of pages such as User:Dudemanfellabra/NRISOnly. I'm currently going through the "Articles with only one source that is not NRIS" section, marking things that have a badly formatted NRIS citation and removing entries that are sourced to something else. Among the latter category are many of your New York articles such as United States Post Office (Granville, New York), which have "just one source" because they're written from the nominations. Of course I'm not complaining that you're using the nominations! I'm simply coming here to ask if you could go through your New York creations and add NRIS citations (or New York SHPO citations, if applicable) to the infoboxes, since the nomination form doesn't mention the property's reference number or the date when it was added to the Register.

Hi Daniel. I recently listed User:BlackBab00nHamilton at the UAA noticeboard with the suggestion that the account should be renamed per WP:BLPABUSE, as the username is a racial attack against Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. However HBC AIV helperbot7 removed the listing because the account has already been blocked. I'm assuming that if I relist the account at UAA, the bot will just remove it again, so I thought I would approach you directly, as you appear to be active at the UAA holding pen. Thanks.

Many thanks for your excellent edits to the Hermann Stieve article. Adding the back-stories of the Nazi victims whose deaths Stieve exploited was an excellent idea.

Hello Daniel Case, I was just wondering whether, considering your recent indefinite block of Edaniels1004 ( talk · contribs), the page Wikipedia:Edaniels1004 should be deleted. Thanks, Toccata quarta ( talk) 07:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
I've just spotted at WP:UAA you've not blocked, for example, "Vantage Production Ltd". Surely that account is either misleading due to it not being controlled by a company, or it is controlled by a company and therefore afoul of our rules about accounts only being for one user? I can see a few cases where you've declined to block in similar circumstances, and I don't understand the logic for letting them lie when, for example, "Juiceentertainment" has just been blocked on these grounds.

Hi Daniel. I posted on Ronz's page regarding the links I placed and the links I still see making their way on wikipedia. The kind of links allowed to stay on wikipedia are confusing me with the term reliable source !!!

Hey Daniel, I was thinking that User: Shoka1234 deserves a longer block due to this comment, the user was blocked for personal attacks and harassment before, and frankly the user frequently violates WP:V and probably deserved a longer block then 12 hours from the beginning. Its all on your opinion though. STATic message me! 04:12, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello Daniel. Could you take another look at the unblock rationale that this user provided and indicate what more he can do? He has already selected a non-promotional username, and his unblock seems to be saying he'll abide by our policies if unblocked. The only thing he didn't mention was notability.

Since I've talked with you in the past about the UAA list, I thought I'd turn to you in this case. Another admin was clearing out the UAA list and removed two ( 1 and 2) [potentially] offensive names because of their lack of edits. I've not seen any other admin have this policy, nor is it mentioned anywhere in the guidelines or on TW. I understand why we have this policy for promo names, but it seems unreasonable to patently disregard offensive usernames because of their lack of edits. Indeed, I've seen many usernames be hard blocked for offensiveness without any edits. As I've explained to the admin, my issue is not with the ruling of offensiveness, it's the removal of the names due to lack of edits (instead of a UAA|no and it being left on the board for others to see and possible discuss). I just request that a second opinion on this issue. Thank you for your time. EvergreenFir ( talk) 22:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

An IP editor that you blocked today is avoiding his block and being disruptive on Talk:Kleargear. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 19:02, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Daniel, please could you investigate this disruptive user who persistently puts unsourced / unhelpful material about "Alvin and the Chipmunks" into articles about songs. You previously issued a block against the user, but whenever the anonymous IP user is blocked, he or she just comes back again under a different IP address.
Over a sustained long period of time, the amount of disruption that he or she has caused to articles is huge.

If I report him or her to "Administrator intervention against vandalism", I may possibly be told by Admin that not enough warnings have been issued against the latest IP address 68.186.161.55. But the problem is that he or she continually does this under different IP addresses and evades blocks in this way.
The IP user's persistent disruptive edits in my view now merit a long-range IP block. Otherwise this will carry on indefinitely and continue to damage the Wikipedia community. Kind Tennis Fan ( talk) 20:54, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I didn't mention your name. I didn't even point to the specific example that triggered my post, but just in case someone ties the topic to our "conversation", I thought I should give you a heads up. My guess is my questions will go nowhere, anyway, but I'm a glutton for punishment.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:21, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Daniel, thanks for reaching out re: the revenge porn article and for creating/adding the Wiktionary entry! I was only able to dedicate the time and resources to working on the article because I pitched it as a Directed Research project to my law school. It's going up for evaluation soon and I would be honored if you or User:Jayen466 looked through the article - it's gone through a lot of changes - and improvements! - since it was first evaluated in October.

Hi, Daniel. I'm just wondering how a section about how to get around the accident is germane to the article. Doesn't WP:NOTTRAVEL still apply? Epicgenius ( talk) 16:53, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
But I think that how the two railroads—including the one whose train did not derail—responded to the accident in terms of guaranteeing service to their riders is useful information, for comparison purposes if nothing else should something similar happen in the future. We did, after all, find Sandy's effect on the city's transportation network notable enough to have a section on (and that's sort of how that section of the derailment article should read once this is all safely in the past). Daniel Case ( talk) 22:55, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
These can be interpreted by some as travel directions for the commute on Monday, and they were not under WP:NOTTRAVEL because you added that text today. By contrast, Sandy's effects on transport were just that—effects on transport. So, your text was not exactly travel directions; however, they sounded like they were.

I noticed that you tagged the above name as possibly inappropriate. Obviously, as an admin, you could have just blocked. I'm guessing that you tagged to see what they'd say before making a decision. So, if they never reply, what's the plan? I'm asking this to get feedback so I know how to handle these when they sit for a week or so.
Also, on ones that seem okay, when removing the category, I'm thinking of dropping a note to let the tagger and the user know that it's resolved. Please feel free to comment or modify: User:Anna Frodesiak/White sandbox

User DVdm has reverted at least 20 of my 60 or more edits without cause. He has done it twice now despite a normal warning from me, from my talk page, user Speling12345. Each of his 20 or so edits is listed under 'm' for minor. A special counter at DVdm's talk page brags about being vandalized 83 times, so perhaps user DVdm is a consistent problem case on Wikipedia. This is not a vandalism concern. I had wanted to contact an administrator directly. What is the administrator suggestion? Speling12345 ( talk) 10:07, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello Daniel, I reported this username few days back and you did comment that it "maybe" an exceptional case of "Mark at Alcoy". This report hung on there for like two or three days and it was removed with an edit summary " No immediate admin action needed".I expected Admin action there though. I am well aware of WP:ISU and I place WP:UCS over any other guidelines. Is Mark allowed to add spam links about Alcoy, just because his username has "Mark" in it?Had his username been "Alcoy Inc", he would have been blocked immediately. DO we expect helpful contribution from Mark? or Dipanjan in this case?? I don't think so... This username is here just for promotion regardless of their prefix or suffix. Using common sense is also an "accepted guideline" at Wikipedia. Sooner or later this guy will come again and will add spam links to the article, he has been doing so and we can't block him cuz he falls under "Mark at Alcoy" exception. I am contacting you cuz I believe this case was taken very lightly, no consensus was reached and report was removed. Regards and Happy New Year :) Hitro talk 20:30, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dump months, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Avengers (film) ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Looks to me like with this edit, Darkknight68 just admitted to being Safwwefe. I would strongly oppose an unblock, if only because you can't just threaten a head of state and just come back like nothing happened. HangingCurve Swing for the fence 00:32, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing the unblock request. However, now it looks like we have an external canvassing issue - see that person's talk page again, and now another account has popped up (using Fox News as a reference, for God's sake - I'm taking that out now and advising them about MEDRS). Have you ever handled a situation like this before? Should I take it to AN/I?

There's no way this needs a fundamental rewrite to be made encyclopaedic. It needs a little bit of a copyedit, to be sure, but it falls well short of any reasonable G11. You should undelete it, so it can be cleaned up, properly referenced, etc. (And adding good references in this case is surprisingly easy). Wily D 14:45, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
::So is this the way CSD works? A company creates its own article in clear COI. The article is clearly A11 & G11 but because another editor makes a vague claim of notability the CSD is removed and the article is essentially left in its original state as written by the company but with a few tags added which no one will likely address. So the COI author successfully places their advertised company on WP.

The user SylviaPekararnold is a new account editing Phi Gamma Nu, a fraternity founded by an identically-named Sylvia Pekar Arnold... in 1924.

The most basic issue is that the massive pile of citations actually runs the risk of taking the documentation away from the official standards. Barring errors such as typos, data in NRIS are the standards, and any conflicts between the old listing pages are the results of documentation updates/status changes/etc. by the NPS. This is the whole reason that we have the citation at the top of the table (citation #4 as of the diff in question), since it's the source for everything in the column. Everything in these tables is supposed to be derived from NRIS, except for things presented with citations to other sources: names (which don't use en-dashes, by the way), listing dates, verbal locations, coordinates, and cities are all solely dependent on NRIS and mustn't be changed unless we find an error or unless we provide alternate documentation, e.g. some other source gives the location of a site that's restricted by NPS.

Hi Daniel – you blocked 78.32.196.49 for 48 hours yesterday. It's a repeat vandal with an identifiable editing pattern, mostly using dynamic BT addresses, which he will come back to if the block is short (see 86.157.182.246 for instance). He's been around since at least last October and I've been issuing month-long blocks when I catch him on BT to avoid this behaviour (e.g. 86.147.44.132) – I think the same should be done for this Entanet address (possibly longer as it may well be a fixed IP).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Batman v. Commissioner, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tax return and Silent partner ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

RE: Wiki Project Fashion - Karl Templer
Hi Daniel
I wanted to contact you about creating a page for british-born stylist and creative director of Interview magazine Karl Templer. I have been trying to create a page for him for a few weeks now but I keep running into technical difficulties.
I have cited the book Stylist: Interpreters of Fashion by Sarah Mower and Style.com as sources along with a feature in the New York Times.
Please follow the link to my sandbox: /info/en/?search=User:Freemans_land/sandbox
I would truly appreciate any assistance you can offer in getting this page up an running. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freemans land ( talk • contribs) 12:04, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

I have left a message for you at User talk:RMP2014#Blocked. Please respond there. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 14:53, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I notice the block message at User talk:Virgin EMI you added. Am I correct that they are still free to edit talk pages (article and user talk). They had indicated an interest in donating at least one more free image. Also, I had said (thinking it's true) that they are allowed to comment on the talk page of an article (namely Kiesza), but couldn't dictate content. I would like to know there's a manner by which they can communicate. While article subjects should never edit their own article, they're often the only or best source of images. -- Rob ( talk) 02:59, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Out of interest, can you point me at the context behind this opaque suspected sockpuppet block? I AIV'd an editor who was making the same edits again a couple of days ago, but I could only provide a vague explanation of the backstory. -- McGeddon ( talk) 12:46, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
(Note: I'd drafted this before I'd seen Daniel's note above that he will be away for a week. I'm posting it anyway in case he has a chance to see it, or so that he'll see it when he comes back, or perhaps someone else will comment.)
On skimming the requests-for-unblock category I came across the request by Beastra. You blocked this account for "spamming" back in September. I've checked the contributions (there are no deleted contributions) and as far as I can see on-wiki, the "spamming" consisted of one edit. In that edit, the user added a link to the BLP of a notable but lesser-known writer, linking to an interview of that writer contained in the editor's personal blog.
Unless I have missed something, I am not sure that this edit is fairly categorized as "spam." We obviously don't want editors whose purpose on-wiki is to add or spam links to their own sites, but the linked blog post was an interview with the BLP subject herself. The link was a useful contribution to the article especially given that all of the other sources were several years old. I am not certain that adding this single link to the article constituted a policy violation. While it might have been better practice to propose the link on the talkpage, this is a lesser-trafficked article and there can be no assurance that such a suggestion would have received a timely response.
More importantly, the single "spam" edit was the user's very first edit. There was no reason to assume that she was familiar with our policies concerning spamming or COI editing. After Xlinkbot reverted the link (presumably because of "Wordpress" in the URL) and advised the editor of the relevant policy and guideline pages, she did not add the link again or do anything else inappropriate. (In fact, she didn't make any other edits at all.) I appreciate that you are active in protecting the project from nuisances and threats such as spammers, but based on this very limited history I would not have blocked.
In any event, the user has now posted an unblock request and, in response to Jpgordon's initial unblock denial, has confirmed that she will not add further cites to her personal blog. Thus, I hope you don't object to her being unblocked now. Thanks and regards, Newyorkbrad ( talk) 20:31, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I was just doing some work on NRHP lists and notice sometimes you add new listings to them. Specifically I noticed
your edit to Orange County, New York, a while back. Looking through your contributions, it seems the most recently you've done any work with NRHP lists is March, so I assume you still occasionally do that. The reason for this comment is to alert you to a script that exists to make renumbering jobs such as the one in your diff above automated. If you install the script
User:Dudemanfellabra/ReorderNRHPlist.js into your JavaScript, it will add a button at the top of any NRHP list to click to renumber it. You can add a new item with any |pos=
parameter you want or even leave it blank, then save the page, click the button, and the script does the renumbering for you. Feel free to ignore this message, but I know it's saved me a lot of time. Just wanted to point it out for future reference!--

Hi Daniel, I previously asked a question about 1RR on abortion related pages that I'm still not clear on. The question involves conduct policy, after the initial revert, with respect to further general editing on that same page. For example, If I revert the contribution of an editor, and then that revert is later reverted by another editor, and then I don’t touch it again, I leave that editor’s contribution exactly as is, but within that same 24 hour period, I edit content from another uninvolved editor, is that a violation of the 1RR? I’d like to be clear on this policy so I don’t accidently violate it. BoboMeowCat ( talk) 15:47, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Daniel. Sorry, but I feel obliged to disagree strongly with you on this one - the fact that the (clearly intentional) insult had gone undetected for almost a year doesn't in any way excuse it. A username that is a direct insult towards a specific editor is simply not permissable, and given that this user began their editing career by reverting Bidgee and consequently engaged in slow but persistent wiki-hounding makes a coincidental spelling anomaly ridiculous. Normally I wouldn't block an account when another administrator had already deemed the name acceptable, but in this instance, I really don't think it can be allowed to stand. I've therefore blocked the account. Best wishes, Yunshui 雲 水 13:37, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

You blocked Shitty Watercolour ( talk · contribs) last year for having "shitty" in his username. User:Shitty Watercolour is the subject of the article Shitty Watercolour, which I created through AfC. After the article was accepted, I had asked him to create an account in order to upload some of his paintings to the Commons, so that I could add them to the article about him. Can he be unblocked without changing his username? Shitty Watercolour is his pseudonym, by which he is widely known - even the numerous sources in the article refer to him by that name.
Also pinging Bwilkins, who declined his unblock request, and also said that the Shitty Watercolour article didn't yet exist at that time - that can't be true because the article existed in articlespace before Shitty Watercolour created his account.

Hi again Daniel,
I was glad to meet you last weekend at the Wiknyc. I recalled reading about the Hammond House, but I couldn't seem to recall what I did read. Looking back on it, I'm now rather interested, because you wrote that it was in Eastview, a once-hamlet that I wrote the article for, largely because I didn't exactly know what Eastview was before I started researching it. Most people just know of the area as "Eastview" and don't know anything about what it really was. Anyway, I wanted to mention that the Hammond House article is conflicting in its location; it seems to indicate that it's in Eastview as well as in nearby Hawthorne (it's mentioned on the Hawthorne article as well). I would consider moving the article to Hammond House (Eastview, New York) for accuracy; it appears to be much closer to where Eastview was/is. Also, I should ask - the house is less than ten minutes' drive from my own; would you like me to take more exterior photos? This season's probably better for it too. As well, would you perhaps mind helping with my Briarcliff article and/or its FA review?
Many thanks,

See this ANI for the background info. Current IP is 90.196.3.222. I've also reported them at AIV, but apparently, no one has seen the report yet. I noticed you were online, and they're at high-speed repeating the edits that got them blocked last time around. Any chance you can block them? AddWittyNameHere ( talk) 18:10, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Daniel, I've noticed you from time to time decline AIV reports from Mr.Z-bot. This report I believe is not about the content changed, but rather the edit summary, see Special:AbuseFilter/523. Apparently the edit summary is linked to spambots. I have no idea what the intent is here, especially when the edits, just as you say, seem perfectly innocent. I also don't know why it's labeled as "page creation spammer". Perhaps Materialscientist can shed some light on this?
Frankly, I'm not sure about many of these filters... the logic is handled at User:Mr.Z-bot/filters.js, so clearly someone believes immediate administrative action is needed or else they wouldn't have been added to the list. From the looks of it, the list is seldom changed, and perhaps not well monitored. I thought maybe we could make note of questionable reports, and bring it to the attention of the filter's author if we believe it is a false positive.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 01:17, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Daniel, you blocked this user about 36 hours ago for persistent editing to introduce contractions into articles to the point (after repeated warnings) that your summary indicated it was to the point of vandalism ("ongoing and sneaky" was how you put it).
The IP's first edit after the block, a few hours ago, was solely to insert contractions into an article. It has been reverted, but this behavior will clearly continue; perhaps a longer period of withheld editing privileges will get this person's attention. Thanks for anything you can do.

Hi - you'd asked me on my talk page whether my name was actually Phil Kessel (and sort of intimated i was 'dodging' a question about my identity). So you know, I wasn't dodging anything...I (1) had misunderstood the wiki policy re using a pubic figure's name; and (2) hadn't realized anyone seriously thought i was phil kessel (either the hockey player or otherwise). In hindsight, obviously it was really stupid to sign up under that name - but i had no bad intent. Someone came and explained on my page i was going against the wiki policy and should change my name - which I've done (it wasn't my intention to cause problems). but you'd mentioned something about my account being blocked and i wanted to make sure i wasn't doing anything to make that happen. I'm sorry about this - I didn't mean to cause trouble for anyone. GLG GLG ( talk) 04:22, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi DC, I respectfully disagree with this sort of response to AIV requests because it needlessly adds more steps to the anti-vandal process, which is already tedious. Though I understand your point, I disagree with the rationale; the sock operator *is* an obvious vandal with a history of pernicious edits, including elaborate hoax creation and repeated submission of plagiarized content. I could just as easily argue for and achieve a "Duck" block at SPI as I could at AIV, only it would take several days to get any action because SPI is backlogged. In this time, the sock would continue his disruptive nonsense. Anyhow, not trying to browbeat ya or be disrespectful, because you've certainly helped me out quickly many a time and I'm grateful for that, only asking for you to wax reminiscent about the hoops we non-admins sometimes have to jump through to get the job done. In the interim, I've filed the SPI report. Thank you, sir! Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:33, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

In marginal cases like that of User talk:AAMAExecDirector could you not discuss the name problem with the editor before blocking and adding that template. They had made three edits, #1, #2 and #3 all of which improved the article and were not in the least bit promotional. The third one was made after I had asked them this question. I knew that username was a bit of a problem but they were doing good work. I've encouraged them to create a new name and I hope they will. Cheers.

Hello — Recently I reverted some vandalism from
this user. A while later, you blocked that user for vandalism and for having an inappropriate user name. I hope you'll pardon my ignorance, but may I ask why that user name was thought to be improper? Since it doesn't seem to attack or threaten anyone, or impersonate another individual, or suggest use by a company or group, all I could guess was that it's an offensive local idiom. Google is usually good at revealing the latest slang — there is always some teenage Web user, somewhere, eager to etch their latest language inventions in stone by adding it to an online list — but Google turned up nothing more relevant than
this. My apologies if this puts you in an awkward or embarrassing position, but could I buy a clue as to the (approximate) nature of the offense? Given that Wikipedia is a global discussion among multiple cultures, I'd rather know if there are new terms best not used in polite conversation. Thanks!

Had a questions about the Holding Pen, as the subject line indicates and figured you'd be the best person to ask (you're one of the, if not the, most active admins at UAA, after all): the Holding Pen guidelines indicates "please remove any users that are blocked, renamed, or have done nothing for over seven days" (emphasis mine), yet this does not seem to happen all that frequently. I'd happily help in cleaning out those cases (most of them of the 'wait until user edits' kind, where well over a week later, the user still hasn't), but I'd first like to make sure if 1. the guideline is still correct on this and 2. if there are any issues with a non-administrator removing them.

I see you have just issued a 72-hour block to JHUbal27 for disruptive editing. Maybe it's pointless now, but the same editor "attempted" to post this vulgar message . I say "attempted" because it was a pretty bad machine translation basically titled "Suck my d*ck" which goes on to make various racist comments about Japanese people. This was done in response to my undoing some questionable edits he made to the page Frankie Grande. My guess is that he looked through my userboxes, saw that I speak Japanese, and felt posting in "Japanese" would be more hurtful as well as less likely to be seen as personal attack. On the surface, this kind of thing is laughable: a complete fail. At a deeper level, however, it is really kind of disturbing, especially since this editor is apparently only a high school student. They actually had to go through multiple steps—look through my userboxes, think of something nasty to say, find an online translator to translate it—before posting their "message" on my talk page. Not sure if this would or even should have any bearing on the duration of this block; It is apparent, however, that a previous block seems to have had no effect upon their behavior. It also is apparent that they no longer have any qualms about esclalating things to the next level. I apologize if it is inappropriate for me to post this stuff here. If there's a better place for me to post this, please let me know. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly ( talk) 08:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

![]() | On 24 August 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Squaw Island (Canandaigua Lake), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that dissolved lime in the waters of New York's Sucker Brook forms the rare " water biscuits" found on the north shore of Canandaigua Lake's Squaw Island (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Squaw Island (Canandaigua Lake). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Is it ok for this user to remove this history from their talk page? -- Ssilvers ( talk) 00:28, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Yes, it is OK to remove the block notice after the block has expired; the real block history is here, anyway. A user is also free to remove warnings from his own talk page at any time. Radiopathy •talk• 01:59, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I was able to get permission from a person on flickr to get an image of Woodlands lake. That means we do not need to go to the lake to get a picture of it ourselves. The image is in the article on the Saw Mill River and can be found here on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woodlands_Lake,_New_York.jpg PointsofNoReturn ( talk) 17:56, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
I see you've blocked a handful (at least) of the 181.136 and related IPs from Colombia because of genre-warring at music articles. Can you tell me if there is a long-term abuse case describing this guy? Compare to Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Date-changing vandal from Santiago. If there is no case, perhaps we can write one up.

Daniel, you blocked this user on August 23 for repeating vandalism coming off an initial block. The IP returned to editing today, and the first edit is the same sort of replacement of credits that was done on previous edits. I'd imagine a longer block is in order to prevent further vandalism. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 16:10, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
I just came across a group of editors (only one really) all with user pages similar to NCAA Season 88. Eventually I found Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ustesians. I'm just blocking and deleting their pages. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 15:41, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Saw Mill River, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Mercury, Open space and Watershed. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Is the name User:Getpissy worth blocking over? This editor is someone who came to one of our edit-a-thons and is quite a pleasant person in real life.

You seem to have blocked User:Rakesh.de as a promotional user name account. What he seems to have actually done is written an unsourced but not promotional page about a high school. I don;t see any promotional edits. I don;t see how the account's name is a corporate name or otherwise inappropriate -- it's not the name of that high school. I assume this was an error?

I noticed that the map of the Taconic State Parkway is slightly too long to the south. The highway ends at the last bend to the south (Kensico Dam), but the map makes it look like the route ends at the Cross Westchester Expressway. Its a minor issue since the red line is wrong by only a few miles, but it's still an issue. I do not know who can fix the map, but I figured I would notify you about the issue.

You made the following comment, which I do not fully understand, in response to an unblock request on my talk page:
"[...] You must go to that page and use the OTRS interface to request it [...]" Daniel Case (talk) 03:53, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm not really a wiki-geek, so could you please specify which page I have to go to, and how to access this 'OTRS interface'?
Thank you! ( DaemonischEngel ( talk) 12:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC))
I assume you have the best possible intentions, but absent a detailed understanding of my situation, I would like to ask you to just closely follow the Wikipedia policies (as quoted in my latest unblock request).
I am a autoconfirmed editor and have absolutely no history of malicious edits, but I see myself unable to improve wiki content from certain locations affected by an IP address block (which should really affect only unregistered users!)
Yes, I can travel to a different location (which is unaffected by this block) every time I want to, for example, post a message on your talk page, but is this really what is desired when you refuse to grant me the unblock (or explain to me how to navigate the unblock request bureaucracy) despite clear policies which say I should be unblocked?
Does it really add value to the world we live in that we engage in this protracted dialog, instead me getting unblocked and being able to help improve Wikipedia immediately when I notice a need for that?
Thank you for your thoughtful response!

I'm hoping to take a drive up north on Saturday to get some photos in Chautauqua County NY (I don't have any NR photos in the state, which I've not visited this whole millennium), and I'm interested in getting the nominations, but I'm not sure how. For example, if I go to Rorig Bridge and click the nomination link in Internet Explorer, it goes blank, while if I view the same page in Firefox, it complains that it needs me to enable some sort of Java, even though I've updated everything as far as I know. I'm left wondering if I'm simply doing something wrongly. Do you have any suggestions? Nyttend ( talk) 22:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
