Hey Dennis, I've gone screwed up Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Chauchan1192. I realised my typo - the alleged master is Chauhan1192 - but when I began to fix the spelling prior to doing a page move, some automated crap got in there and I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be copying my extensive notes over to the new page name (with appropriate edit summary) or does something happen in due course that involves a bot ... or what? No worries if this is above your "trainee" pay grade because I'll find another clerk if necessary. - Sitush ( talk) 19:29, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
OK, so what is this "Twinkle" I keep hearing about? It looks like it's fraught with peril, as I've seen a number of editors get whacked for misuse of it. I'm guessing I might have the right to use it, but I've never used it. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:55, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Closed the Till ANI -- it's really not worth your effort digging through diffs..They'll either stay away, come back and behave, or come back and resume the attacks and folks will get annoyed with the next ANI post. (I'm tempted to make up a "WQA" template to post on all the ANI threads that would have good WQA in the good ol' days. -- but I figure I'd get blocked for disruptive/pointy somewhere between the third and fifth day of using it.

I doubt it's reasonable to assume a PD aerial or satellite image of a location could be reasonably obtained. Could a google maps overhead of the general area of the mine be fair use? See [2] for the general map. Also see User talk:Marcus Qwertyus#Are you near St. Louis now or will you be?. Finally, do you or any of your talk page stalkers know of someone who could figure out exactly which areas on that google map coincide with the St. Louis and O'Fallon mine here?

Told you it wouldn't take very long. Till has returned, and has nominated Diamonds (Rihanna song), an article Tomica has 260 edits to, to his 30, and nominating it for GA. Is there anymore evidence you would like? Statυs ( talk) 23:28, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
I would like to see PumpkinSky back to editing, withdrawn since his RfA. I would like to see Dr. Blofeld back to editing. The double standard of one being stressed (politest word I could find) in an RfA while the other observed the bits simply returned to someone after many more years of absence is not without irony. If anyone should have had the bits simply returned it's PumpkinSky, if you ask me, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to see PumpkinSky back as well. I don't want to minimize how one would react to trashing on RfA, but I hope it is nothing more than the understandable pull back after such an incident, followed by a return at some point. I've worked with him on a couple issues, and checked out a fair bit of his work, not enough interaction to call myself a trusted friend, but enough to know that he is an asset and I hope he returns soon.
The Dr. Blofeld incident was unfortunate, but at the risk of being a Pollyanna, some moderate, but project improving enhancements to policy are resulting from it, and if I've read correctly, the content dispute is largely resolved, so I hope this issue is now resolved.
I worry more about MF, as that doesn't have the feel of a long-term resolution.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 14:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank you all for good reading. "Aggressively fair" could also be allpied to PumpkinSky, I think. I wonder how I would react if a few people told me I was not trustworthy.

Hello Dennis Brown. We recently met at ANI here regarding Kollyfan ( talk · contribs). I seem to have missed out details from diffs as pointed out in the matter. Would it be fine for you to continue the discussion here, since I doubt if re-posting in ANI is a good solution, as it has produced disastrous results for me in the past?

Hi there DENNIS, VASCO (real name) from Portugal here,
thanks for your input in my talkpage. Final decision has been made though, i think that WP (and its football department) is in very good hands as it is now :) I can't stop feeding the trolls (all my promises to the contrary were true though), and i can't abide by the rules (not necessarily bad, but not good also), so i think i better stop.
All the best to you and yours, happy editing as well - -- AL ( talk) 19:08, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm on holiday for the next week, thus anything needing immediate attention should be directed to someone else for now. I will check in a little, but only have an old iPad, which is ill suited for old men to type on. For my US friends, I hope you have a great holiday week, surrounded by family, friends and good food. My Canadian friends have already celebrated last month, but those of you in the UK, AU, India, NZ, Thailand, Japan, and all places in between, I wish I could share it with you. It is my favorite of all holidays. A time to be thankful, spend the week with family and friends, feast, drink, watch football (any version will do) and reflect on the past year. Those of you traveling, stay safe. The rest of you, I hope you get to spend time with good friends and family, enjoying some great food and great times, even if it isn't Thanksgiving on your calender.

Hello Dennis Brown! I've seen you a few times on Wikipedia and noticed your RfA reviewal program. While I definitely feel I am not yet ready for the mop, I am working towards it and would like a short progress report. I requested one from Kudpung here but I didn't feel I received a complete response on what I need to do. I have Rollback and Reviewer permissions as I said in the thread and can check at least 80% of his criteria. I definetely feel I need to work on my edit count however I don't think several thousand mainspace edits is required ( Basalisk, who you nominated, has 1,891 at the moment and his RfA was successful). As to why I need the tools, my work is significantly focused on anti-vandalism efforts and deletion efforts, somewhere admin tools are very helpful. I have noticed a backlog at XfD locations, specifically RfD and FfD. Also, UAA, along with Sockpuppet Investigations and general incidents (Administrator Noticeboard). I can also help at WP:RFPP. I have significantly contributed to these places where I can (obviously not SI and AN) and have a clean record. Any reccomendations, beyond simply more edits, you have? Thank you for your time, Vacation nine 02:40, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dennis, I know you are on a holiday right now, but I needed to tell you that I have had this Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/David Greener opened and CU requested for over 2 days with no response from any SPI clerk or CheckUser till now. I believe you can take a look over this interesting case and give your comments and decision accordingly so that the case can be investigated without any further delay. If that can't be possible with your alternate account right now, I'll be happy to inform another SPI clerk for this if you say so. Regards. TheGeneralUser ( talk) 19:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

As you closed the discussion on possible sock/meatpuppets re the editing of Victor Lewis-Smith (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dora63/Archive) I am coming back to you first. I see a new account has been created recently to make comments and delete material. The editor is User:Snickarious and from the context I think it reasonable to query if one of the previously investigated accounts is back under a new name. What do I need to do to re-open the issue?

I wanted to stop by and thank you for your support throughout the RFA process. While many of us, myself included complain of how broken the RFA process is, and despite all the many failed attempts to find fixes, your work with RFA, and potential candidates, is actually doing something about the problems. I hope you keep it up, as it is definitely appreciated. Monty 845 21:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Today I discovered that someone introduced in the Wikipedia article about I, the author Leonard Oprea, a LIBELOUS info, and a LIBELOUS and HARMFUL link at "Notes". Please - according to the Androscoggin Superior Court of Auburn, Maine, USA - all the charges against me, Leonard Oprea, were dismissed in 6/14/2010 ( Docket no. CR-09-554 ), and I was sentenced only with the very minor : "Reckless Conduct". So, the article from Sun Journal, quoted as info and, also the link to Sun Journal form the "Notes": ^ a b Lewiston "Sun Journal", May 21, 2009, does NOT present the real facts. More, in the present time I put under the lawsuit "Sun Journal" for libelous articles against me. Please - MUST be erased URGENTLY: - the info from my biography - the link to this infamous insert, form the "Notes", as being both of them: LIBELOUS and HARMFUL to my address as a person and as an author, as well. Otherwise - with all my due respect - I have to call my lawyer to make a legal action against Wikipedia. Please - I hope you will respect your own rules regarding the matter I presented to you now. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Leonard Oprea. ... From: Sue Gardner <donate@wikimedia.org> To: Leonard Oprea Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 6:48 PM Subject: Thank you from the Wikimedia Foundation Dear Leonard, Thank you for donating to the Wikimedia Foundation. You are wonderful! It's easy to ignore our fundraising banners, and I'm really glad you didn't. This is how Wikipedia pays its bills --- people like you giving us money, so we can keep the site freely available for everyone around the world. People tell me they donate to Wikipedia because they find it useful, and they trust it because even though it's not perfect, they know it's written for them. Wikipedia isn’t meant to advance somebody's PR agenda or push a particular ideology, or to persuade you to believe something that's not true. We aim to tell the truth, and we can do that because of you. The fact that you fund the site keeps us independent and able to deliver what you need and want from Wikipedia. Exactly as it should be. You should know: your donation isn’t just covering your own costs. The average donor is paying for his or her own use of Wikipedia, plus the costs of hundreds of other people. Your donation keeps Wikipedia available for an ambitious kid in Bangalore who’s teaching herself computer programming. A middle-aged homemaker in Vienna who’s just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. A novelist researching 1850s Britain. A 10-year-old in San Salvador who’s just discovered Carl Sagan. On behalf of those people, and the half-billion other readers of Wikipedia and its sister sites and projects, I thank you for joining us in our effort to make the sum of all human knowledge available for everyone. Your donation makes the world a better place. Thank you. Most people don't know Wikipedia's run by a non-profit. Please consider sharing this e-mail with a few of your friends to encourage them to donate too. And if you're interested, you should try adding some new information to Wikipedia. If you see a typo or other small mistake, please fix it, and if you find something missing, please add it. There are resources here that can help you get started. Don't worry about making a mistake: that's normal when people first start editing and if it happens, other Wikipedians will be happy to fix it for you. I appreciate your trust in us, and I promise you we'll use your money well. Thanks, Sue

Some self-reflectionDennis, sorry if you are getting frustrated with the comments above! I definitely don't intend on causing more drama here, although in my defense I have kept to myself since being unblocked on the 27th (can look at my contribs for proof) and haven't even interacted with Status or Tomica at all since then. The only problem was Tomica going all WP:OWN on Iluvrihanna24 ( talk · contribs) (in which I later removed my comments because I don't want anything to do with him from now on) and this meaningless quarrel with Status ( talk · contribs).

Hi Dennis, Tiptoety blocked Akashasr a few hours ago. The rationale was edit warring, stemming from my report at here, and the period was 24 hours. They had a couple of failed appeals but now 106.67.21.191 has appeared, is making stylistically similar edits on broadly similar topics, and has both refactored Akashasr's talk page and also a comment left by Akashasr here. The IP is persisting despite me leaving a note which it seems they have read, even though they have misinterpreted the intent.

Dennis, quite some time ago, you advised me on how to change my interface so I have special options at the top right of user pages for User and Page history. Since the problems with the UI in the last few days, I've been having problems with that portion of my screen. At first, part of the word "User" and part of the word "Page" were missing. Now, it's even worse as everything except the down arrows themselves is missing (to the right of TW). I can't even remember whether it was a script you pointed me to or something else. I've tried (twice) purging all of my cache (in Firefox), but it doesn't help. I've gotten rid of the worst of the UI problems, which most everyone seemed to experience, but not this one part. Are you experiencing this? Any suggestions on what to do? I've posted at the Pump, but no one has come up with a solution that I'm aware of (the threads go on and on).

Hey Dennis, I've gone screwed up Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Chauchan1192. I realised my typo - the alleged master is Chauhan1192 - but when I began to fix the spelling prior to doing a page move, some automated crap got in there and I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be copying my extensive notes over to the new page name (with appropriate edit summary) or does something happen in due course that involves a bot ... or what? No worries if this is above your "trainee" pay grade because I'll find another clerk if necessary. - Sitush ( talk) 19:29, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
OK, so what is this "Twinkle" I keep hearing about? It looks like it's fraught with peril, as I've seen a number of editors get whacked for misuse of it. I'm guessing I might have the right to use it, but I've never used it. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:55, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Closed the Till ANI -- it's really not worth your effort digging through diffs..They'll either stay away, come back and behave, or come back and resume the attacks and folks will get annoyed with the next ANI post. (I'm tempted to make up a "WQA" template to post on all the ANI threads that would have good WQA in the good ol' days. -- but I figure I'd get blocked for disruptive/pointy somewhere between the third and fifth day of using it.

I doubt it's reasonable to assume a PD aerial or satellite image of a location could be reasonably obtained. Could a google maps overhead of the general area of the mine be fair use? See [2] for the general map. Also see User talk:Marcus Qwertyus#Are you near St. Louis now or will you be?. Finally, do you or any of your talk page stalkers know of someone who could figure out exactly which areas on that google map coincide with the St. Louis and O'Fallon mine here?

Told you it wouldn't take very long. Till has returned, and has nominated Diamonds (Rihanna song), an article Tomica has 260 edits to, to his 30, and nominating it for GA. Is there anymore evidence you would like? Statυs ( talk) 23:28, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
I would like to see PumpkinSky back to editing, withdrawn since his RfA. I would like to see Dr. Blofeld back to editing. The double standard of one being stressed (politest word I could find) in an RfA while the other observed the bits simply returned to someone after many more years of absence is not without irony. If anyone should have had the bits simply returned it's PumpkinSky, if you ask me, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to see PumpkinSky back as well. I don't want to minimize how one would react to trashing on RfA, but I hope it is nothing more than the understandable pull back after such an incident, followed by a return at some point. I've worked with him on a couple issues, and checked out a fair bit of his work, not enough interaction to call myself a trusted friend, but enough to know that he is an asset and I hope he returns soon.
The Dr. Blofeld incident was unfortunate, but at the risk of being a Pollyanna, some moderate, but project improving enhancements to policy are resulting from it, and if I've read correctly, the content dispute is largely resolved, so I hope this issue is now resolved.
I worry more about MF, as that doesn't have the feel of a long-term resolution.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 14:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank you all for good reading. "Aggressively fair" could also be allpied to PumpkinSky, I think. I wonder how I would react if a few people told me I was not trustworthy.

Hello Dennis Brown. We recently met at ANI here regarding Kollyfan ( talk · contribs). I seem to have missed out details from diffs as pointed out in the matter. Would it be fine for you to continue the discussion here, since I doubt if re-posting in ANI is a good solution, as it has produced disastrous results for me in the past?

Hi there DENNIS, VASCO (real name) from Portugal here,
thanks for your input in my talkpage. Final decision has been made though, i think that WP (and its football department) is in very good hands as it is now :) I can't stop feeding the trolls (all my promises to the contrary were true though), and i can't abide by the rules (not necessarily bad, but not good also), so i think i better stop.
All the best to you and yours, happy editing as well - -- AL ( talk) 19:08, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm on holiday for the next week, thus anything needing immediate attention should be directed to someone else for now. I will check in a little, but only have an old iPad, which is ill suited for old men to type on. For my US friends, I hope you have a great holiday week, surrounded by family, friends and good food. My Canadian friends have already celebrated last month, but those of you in the UK, AU, India, NZ, Thailand, Japan, and all places in between, I wish I could share it with you. It is my favorite of all holidays. A time to be thankful, spend the week with family and friends, feast, drink, watch football (any version will do) and reflect on the past year. Those of you traveling, stay safe. The rest of you, I hope you get to spend time with good friends and family, enjoying some great food and great times, even if it isn't Thanksgiving on your calender.

Hello Dennis Brown! I've seen you a few times on Wikipedia and noticed your RfA reviewal program. While I definitely feel I am not yet ready for the mop, I am working towards it and would like a short progress report. I requested one from Kudpung here but I didn't feel I received a complete response on what I need to do. I have Rollback and Reviewer permissions as I said in the thread and can check at least 80% of his criteria. I definetely feel I need to work on my edit count however I don't think several thousand mainspace edits is required ( Basalisk, who you nominated, has 1,891 at the moment and his RfA was successful). As to why I need the tools, my work is significantly focused on anti-vandalism efforts and deletion efforts, somewhere admin tools are very helpful. I have noticed a backlog at XfD locations, specifically RfD and FfD. Also, UAA, along with Sockpuppet Investigations and general incidents (Administrator Noticeboard). I can also help at WP:RFPP. I have significantly contributed to these places where I can (obviously not SI and AN) and have a clean record. Any reccomendations, beyond simply more edits, you have? Thank you for your time, Vacation nine 02:40, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dennis, I know you are on a holiday right now, but I needed to tell you that I have had this Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/David Greener opened and CU requested for over 2 days with no response from any SPI clerk or CheckUser till now. I believe you can take a look over this interesting case and give your comments and decision accordingly so that the case can be investigated without any further delay. If that can't be possible with your alternate account right now, I'll be happy to inform another SPI clerk for this if you say so. Regards. TheGeneralUser ( talk) 19:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

As you closed the discussion on possible sock/meatpuppets re the editing of Victor Lewis-Smith (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dora63/Archive) I am coming back to you first. I see a new account has been created recently to make comments and delete material. The editor is User:Snickarious and from the context I think it reasonable to query if one of the previously investigated accounts is back under a new name. What do I need to do to re-open the issue?

I wanted to stop by and thank you for your support throughout the RFA process. While many of us, myself included complain of how broken the RFA process is, and despite all the many failed attempts to find fixes, your work with RFA, and potential candidates, is actually doing something about the problems. I hope you keep it up, as it is definitely appreciated. Monty 845 21:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Today I discovered that someone introduced in the Wikipedia article about I, the author Leonard Oprea, a LIBELOUS info, and a LIBELOUS and HARMFUL link at "Notes". Please - according to the Androscoggin Superior Court of Auburn, Maine, USA - all the charges against me, Leonard Oprea, were dismissed in 6/14/2010 ( Docket no.

So, the article from Sun Journal, quoted as info and, also the link to Sun Journal form the "Notes": ^ a b Lewiston "Sun Journal", May 21, 2009, does NOT present the real facts. More, in the present time I put under the lawsuit "Sun Journal" for libelous articles against me. Please - MUST be erased URGENTLY: - the info from my biography - the link to this infamous insert, form the "Notes", as being both of them: LIBELOUS and HARMFUL to my address as a person and as an author, as well. Otherwise - with all my due respect - I have to call my lawyer to make a legal action against Wikipedia. Please - I hope you will respect your own rules regarding the matter I presented to you now.

From: Sue Gardner <donate@wikimedia.org> To: Leonard Oprea Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 6:48 PM Subject: Thank you from the Wikimedia Foundation Dear Leonard, Thank you for donating to the Wikimedia Foundation. You are wonderful! It's easy to ignore our fundraising banners, and I'm really glad you didn't. This is how Wikipedia pays its bills --- people like you giving us money, so we can keep the site freely available for everyone around the world. People tell me they donate to Wikipedia because they find it useful, and they trust it because even though it's not perfect, they know it's written for them. Wikipedia isn’t meant to advance somebody's PR agenda or push a particular ideology, or to persuade you to believe something that's not true. We aim to tell the truth, and we can do that because of you. The fact that you fund the site keeps us independent and able to deliver what you need and want from Wikipedia. Exactly as it should be. You should know: your donation isn’t just covering your own costs. The average donor is paying for his or her own use of Wikipedia, plus the costs of hundreds of other people. Your donation keeps Wikipedia available for an ambitious kid in Bangalore who’s teaching herself computer programming. A middle-aged homemaker in Vienna who’s just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. A novelist researching 1850s Britain. A 10-year-old in San Salvador who’s just discovered Carl Sagan. On behalf of those people, and the half-billion other readers of Wikipedia and its sister sites and projects, I thank you for joining us in our effort to make the sum of all human knowledge available for everyone. Your donation makes the world a better place. Thank you. Most people don't know Wikipedia's run by a non-profit. Please consider sharing this e-mail with a few of your friends to encourage them to donate too. And if you're interested, you should try adding some new information to Wikipedia. If you see a typo or other small mistake, please fix it, and if you find something missing, please add it. There are resources here that can help you get started. Don't worry about making a mistake: that's normal when people first start editing and if it happens, other Wikipedians will be happy to fix it for you. I appreciate your trust in us, and I promise you we'll use your money well. Thanks, Sue

Some self-reflectionDennis, sorry if you are getting frustrated with the comments above! I definitely don't intend on causing more drama here, although in my defense I have kept to myself since being unblocked on the 27th (can look at my contribs for proof) and haven't even interacted with Status or Tomica at all since then. The only problem was Tomica going all WP:OWN on Iluvrihanna24 ( talk · contribs) (in which I later removed my comments because I don't want anything to do with him from now on) and this meaningless quarrel with Status ( talk · contribs).

Hi Dennis, Tiptoety blocked Akashasr a few hours ago. The rationale was edit warring, stemming from my report at here, and the period was 24 hours. They had a couple of failed appeals but now 106.67.21.191 has appeared, is making stylistically similar edits on broadly similar topics, and has both refactored Akashasr's talk page and also a comment left by Akashasr here. The IP is persisting despite me leaving a note which it seems they have read, even though they have misinterpreted the intent.

Dennis, quite some time ago, you advised me on how to change my interface so I have special options at the top right of user pages for User and Page history. Since the problems with the UI in the last few days, I've been having problems with that portion of my screen. At first, part of the word "User" and part of the word "Page" were missing. Now, it's even worse as everything except the down arrows themselves is missing (to the right of TW). I can't even remember whether it was a script you pointed me to or something else. I've tried (twice) purging all of my cache (in Firefox), but it doesn't help. I've gotten rid of the worst of the UI problems, which most everyone seemed to experience, but not this one part. Are you experiencing this? Any suggestions on what to do? I've posted at the Pump, but no one has come up with a solution that I'm aware of (the threads go on and on).
