Hi East718,
I was wondering if you would consider reducing the length of Boodlesthecat's block. It's clear to me that he didn't fully understand the restrictions he was editing under, and he was also subject to some extraordinarily disruptive editing. As examples:
There's lots more of this, but I won't bore you with it. In addition, on October 5 Piotrus recruited Polish editors not under sanctions to edit-war for him, and User:Radeksz and User:Vecrumba dutifully showed up to revert. It was reverting these two that got Boodlesthecat in trouble. Piotrus does this kind of thing quite regularly, and is extremely skilled at it; he managed, through disruption and recruitment to goad Boodles into violating his restrictions. Given the circumstances, I think the "remedy" here is unbalanced. Your thoughts? Jayjg (talk) 05:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Umm, for the record I reverted the controversial material ONCE when I first noticed it several days ago and after Boodles reverted me, including "discuss it in talk first" in his/her edit summary, I have not reverted him, or Jayjg, or anyone else on that article. Instead, as s/he suggested, I have been discussing it on talk (to be precise, lest I get accused of bad faith here, again, there were some other edits in other portions of the article but my sense of it was that we worked it out). And yes, I did notice the article through the board Jayjg mentions above but so what? I occasionally look at it for articles that I think may be interesting. Prior to this I think I've co-edited or talked to Piotrus or had any kind of interaction with him, like, twice, both of those being back in something like 2005 or 2006 when I first joined Wikipedia. To imply - wait, no - TO STATE, that I engaged in any kind of edit warring on this article with Boodles or anyone else is false and dishonest. To accuse me of doing so because ... I don't know, I was supposedly following orders of the Grand Leader Piotrus or something is insulting. Additionally, while I've been following the discussion on the relevant article I haven't had time to spend on whatever side shows may be going on that are related to it and I wasn't even aware that Boodles was blocked (hence I have no opinion on the righteousness of her/his block or its length). Obviously Jayjg, whose edits and work I've seen around before and who I previously had a good impression of, owes me an apology. But since I'm here - since someone started talking about me - I may as well throw my two cents in and state that Jayj is obviously being dishonest here, whether he realizes it or not. Take that as a piece of "character witness testimony". Oh. And yes, again for the sake of full disclosure, I found this little piece of defamation through a message Piotrus left me a few minutes ago and I want to apologize ahead of time to user East718 if this isn't the proper space to correct this crap. radek ( talk) 08:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey. Probably not a common issue, but in this edit the bot messed up an unrelated image link while replacing a similarly named .jpg logo with a .png. Thanks, Prolog ( talk) 20:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you would be good enough to revisit the length of Noroton's block, please? I agree that a block is merited but 1 week seems too long. I am also bothered that he has been blocked from editing his own talk page which would restrict him from appealing the block. I have had a look at the AN/I thread but that doesn't seem to provide a consensus for a long block. My suggestion would be to remove the restriction on talk page editing, it can go straight back if he abuses it, and reducing the block to, say, 36 hours. TerriersFan ( talk) 03:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that, when uploading Image:Lyria logo.png, 718 Bot included the page history of Image:Lyria logo.gif on the new page but left out its upload history (which, in particular, happened to include my upload of a cleaned-up version over the original). While I don't particularly mind being left out of the history in this case (it was just a trivial modification, after all), I can see how this could create an issue for images with multiple substantial authors, some of whom are only attributed in the upload log. Is there any way you could modify your bot to also copy the old upload history when converting the image to PNG? Thanks, — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 06:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I tried to get an answer from the person who tagged File:Suite101logo.gif, and on its talk page, to no avail. I'm developing the article as a subpage because it's not ready and would surely be deleted because it fails to cite much yet; in addition I can't link to the page on their site that an admin whitelisted for me. It's just not ready for prime time. So by having the article in my user space the logo gets deleted; if I had moved it the article and the logo would have been deleted.

And yes, again for the sake of full disclosure, I found this little piece of defamation through a message Piotrus left me a few minutes ago and I want to apologize ahead of time to user East718 if this isn't the proper space to correct this crap. radek ( talk) 08:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Of interest: [8]. It's just an idle speculation, but perhaps certain unblock, allowing a certain user to return to flaming, is related to this? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 13:41, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey. Probably not a common issue, but in this edit the bot messed up an unrelated image link while replacing a similarly named .jpg logo with a .png. Thanks, Prolog ( talk) 20:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you would be good enough to revisit the length of Noroton's block, please? I agree that a block is merited but 1 week seems too long. I am also bothered that he has been blocked from editing his own talk page which would restrict him from appealing the block. I have had a look at the AN/I thread but that doesn't seem to provide a consensus for a long block. My suggestion would be to remove the restriction on talk page editing, it can go straight back if he abuses it, and reducing the block to, say, 36 hours.

I noticed that, when uploading Image:Lyria logo.png, 718 Bot included the page history of Image:Lyria logo.gif on the new page but left out its upload history (which, in particular, happened to include my upload of a cleaned-up version over the original). While I don't particularly mind being left out of the history in this case (it was just a trivial modification, after all), I can see how this could create an issue for images with multiple substantial authors, some of whom are only attributed in the upload log. Is there any way you could modify your bot to also copy the old upload history when converting the image to PNG? Thanks, — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 06:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Nice userpage there, thought I'd give you this in recognition for all the hard work you [must] have put into it :). Blooded Edge ( talk) 11:22, 11 October 2008 (UTC) |
I notice you're an amateur boxer, but you're also a Wikipedian. Given the addictive nature of this site, how do you balance the two? This would seem to me to be in conflict. Aren't you supposed to be training all the time instead of answering my silly questions? ( Wallamoose ( talk) 06:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC))
If you're on now - could you take a look at User talk: Sam Korn page - I think it needs move protection or similar. Tvoz/ talk 07:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

I see that you removed photos from both the Kent State Stark and the Betsy Boze page. These had the authentication of the author and have been vetted by lots of other authors/administrator/ editors. What is the problem with that photo? I don't want to get into a put it up/ take it down battle. Can you please restore it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Purocafe ( talk • contribs) 14:00, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Good day East, long time since I've talked to you now. Anyway, I was wondering if you could catch me up on IRC. Best regards, -- Kanonkas : Talk 12:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I tried to get an answer from the person who tagged File:Suite101logo.gif, and on its talk page, to no avail. I'm developing the article as a subpage because it's not ready and would surely be deleted because it fails to cite much yet; in addition I can't link to the page on their site that an admin whitelisted for me. It's just not ready for prime time. So by having the article in my user space the logo gets deleted; if I had moved it the article and the logo would have been deleted. Do you have a better suggestion?-- otherlleft ( talk) 01:54, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

You did not have to remove my whole userpage to protect my informaton. You could've just told me to remove the information, or done it yourself. Now, if you would be so kind to bring it back up so I can remove the information...-- Archeopteryx ( talk) 23:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
You couldn't do me a favour and take a look at User talk:70.251.125.201 and the unblock request could you? I've created it per an email from the IP. Pedro : Chat 11:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Just realized you deleted my company's entry a while back.

Hello, I notcied you were an admin and I need a little help.

What's going on? You seem to have deleted their userpage, and User:Synergy tagged them as blocked. However, the account is not blocked, and there is no visible evidence. If another CU has come back positive, please have the CU or a CU clerk perform the block and confirm everything. Thanks! Jehochman Talk 00:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey east, in case you can't find a ref for The Source's original review for your subpage, the magazine published new reviews for some 5 mic albums in last month's edition. I can scan a copy if you want. Spellcast ( talk) 20:06, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
