Hello Eagles247,
I'd like to know if you can help me with a little problem I have.
I currently have an account on the French Wikipedia, and an administrator blocked me because the IP address of the computer I use was recorded to have done vandalisme on Wikipedia.
The only issue is that the computer I use is public; meaning that hundreds of people can use it in one day. For example, today (day the blocking occured) 63 people went on the computer before me, and when I take a look at the navigator's historics section, I see that the users before me have passed lots of time vandalizing Wikipedia (the French version).
Now, I cannot edit any pages on Wikipedia (the French version) for a month. Also, because of this IP address problem with the public computer, when I use my desktop or laptop, my account is still blocked...
Thank you for helping me, if you can, of course.

Hi Eagle. With all due respect, a link to someone's twitter in an edit summary isn't a reliable source. Per BLP policy, if his release cannot be reliably sourced at this time, then the status quo should be maintained for now. -- Bongwarrior ( talk) 00:01, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Eagles: Let me suggest to you that you take some time off of monitoring USer:Androzaniamy. You allow your frustrations about her efforts to take you beyond reasonability. For example, you just tagged her with an admonishment about not making test edits, over an edit which was clearly not a test edit - she added material relevant to the topic of the article, and with a reference to boot. It may have been imperfectly formatted, but overreacting to every imperfection doesn't help her, nor does it help the rest of Wikipedia. You risk coming into the realm of WP:HARRASS. Take some time, take her page off of your watchlist, and cool down; you may come to see her difficulties as not so vital if you take some time off from them. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 22:27, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Eagles247. I know that this probably made you block AwesomeSponge ( talk · contribs) as a sockpuppet of Spidey665 ( talk · contribs). I know both users and I am convinced that they are not the same person. First of all, Spidey665's English seems to be significantly better than AwesomeSponge's (whose English is pretty bad). Secondly, they do not share the same interests, nor have edited similar Wikipedia articles, according to this. And finally, AwesomeSponge has habits that Spidey do not possess. AwesomeSponge asks for permissions on user talk pages, usually in the form of "please can you please let me be an admin because i want to..." without realizing he has to "earn them", even once for adminship! I have never seen Spidey do such a thing. AwesomeSponge also seems to show major difficultly in following instructions ( this).
Because of what I have explained, I am not convinced that AwesomeSponge is a sockpuppet of Spidey665. What do you think? -- B music ian 04:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Excuse me, what gives you the right to determine that Victoria Duffield isn't notable enough? She's a lot more famous than you are. She's signed by Warner Music Canada and her single Shut Up and Dance went platinum this year. While you deleted her page before the platinum tag, it was after her single was released and she was already on the charts. Maybe you should read Wikipedia's article on Notability (music) located here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music) before you delete a page that you know nothing about.

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well!
Grapple X (
submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in
marine biology and
herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's
Casliber (
submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including
ornithology and
botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.
Congratulations to
Matthewedwards (
submissions), whose impressive
File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to
12george1 (
submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on
Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as
recent statistics from
Miyagawa (
submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!
It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hello Eagles247,
I'd like to know if you can help me with a little problem I have.
I currently have an account on the French Wikipedia, and an administrator blocked me because the IP address of the computer I use was recorded to have done vandalisme on Wikipedia.
The only issue is that the computer I use is public; meaning that hundreds of people can use it in one day. For example, today (day the blocking occured) 63 people went on the computer before me, and when I take a look at the navigator's historics section, I see that the users before me have passed lots of time vandalizing Wikipedia (the French version).
Now, I cannot edit any pages on Wikipedia (the French version) for a month. Also, because of this IP address problem with the public computer, when I use my desktop or laptop, my account is still blocked...
Thank you for helping me, if you can, of course.

submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in
marine biology and
herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's
Casliber (
submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including
ornithology and
botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.
Congratulations to
Matthewedwards (
submissions), whose impressive
File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to
12george1 (
submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on
Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as
recent statistics from
Miyagawa (
submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!
It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
