thanks for acting on my latest SPI of whitmore 8621. The moment I checked the sock's contributions list, I knew it was him right away that's why I requested CU to be sure. Hindi pa rin talaga marunong mag-talk page archive nang maayos. (Still doesn't know how to properly archive a talk page). Judging by his tone, I don't think endofskull has the foggiest idea of how that warring editor from Down Under has rankled me and irked others, considering he's been blocked before. "I don't like my privacy being invaded"? Meh, not that different from his unblock request whinings about "I don't like being bullied or ignored." NPA notwithstanding, what a loser. -- Eaglestorm ( talk) 16:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey Elockid--feel free to block, haha, since I just reported them as a VOA. Thanks, and stay away from Spiff--he's bad news, and his labrador needs its teeth brushed. Drmies ( talk) 02:41, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
I have an open FfD discussion at Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2010 August 31 regarding 5 files the user uploaded. Given that they were a sock, can these files be deleted? At the very least I'd appreciate a comment on the discussion. Thanks. elektrik SHOOS 02:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
I am glad to announce to you that we will be debuting as an organization at the Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology on September 14 to 17, 2010 at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Jojit will be Wikimedia Philippines resource speaker at the second day of the conference at the UP Film Center. He will be speaking about Wikipedia and how it revolutionizes the World Wide Web. That will be at 9:00 to 10:00 am. We will also set up a booth at the UP Bahay ng Alumni and we will showcase our existing and future projects. We encourage you to participate in our first major project. We have prepared food and refreshments for you. Please let us know so that we can enlist you to our delegation.-- Exec8 ( talk) 18:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Per the further discussion at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/8MA8/Archive, I've urged that 8MA8's block should be extended to indef (see bottom of page). Would you have any comment on that idea? You placed the most recent (unexpired) block, for one week. The main Mico Apostolov account is still free to edit. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:08, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Regarding your block of User:Serienfan2010, [1] to be fair he/she was only reverting inappropriate changes by another editor who has now breached 3RR by making 6 reversions to the page in a little over 3 hours. I've raised the matter at Talk:List of Phineas and Ferb episodes/Archive 1#Article layout and notified the relevant editors in a hope to stop it. The big problem seems to be Isabella and Lego Liker's unwillingness to allow the page to comply with Template:Episode list#Sublists. Ironically, this editor hasn't been blocked. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 01:18, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

You previously made a temporary block of user 69.196.22.179 From the talk page, it certainly appears this user has a history of not making constructive edits, has had lots of "final warning"'s and deserves more severe treatment.

A discussion has begun about whether the article List of largest empires, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of largest empires until a concensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.
Actually, the deletion discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of largest empires (5th nomination). Qwyrxian ( talk) 01:23, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello Elockid. IPs on the same ISP as Drork have been recently making the same edits to Golan Heights and West Bank. I am getting a bit frustrated by the never-ending supply of IPs to re-revert the same edits over and over. What should be done here? nableezy - 15:22, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Elockid, please do something, anyone can see that this IP is a sock, the exact same ISP as Drork, from the same location, pushing the same pov, and is edit warring at Golan heights. Compare the IP with Drorks previous socks: [2] In that SPI we can clearly see on the behaviour that its Drork. Ad to that the location and ISP which is right on the spot with this "new" IP, and its clear that its Drork.-- Supreme Deliciousness ( talk) 17:09, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Just a friendly enquiry about Jgittins ( talk · contribs), as I am indirectly involed via Offer of assistance and User talk:Senra#Churches in Secunderabad. I am a relatively new editor myself, who is showing some concern for inexperienced editors as well as trying to create useful articles such as Little Thetford, St James' Church, Stretham and Ely and Littleport riots 1816. Unfortuanelty (for me) I do not understand the checkuser and blocking process, so it is difficult for me to review this case sufficiently to make a sensible judgement. As I am still trying to learn, would you be so kind as to drop me a couple of links that would show me the evidence confirming the link between Jgittins ( talk · contribs) and Coramandel23 ( talk · contribs) and also the discussions that have taken place leading to the blocking? Be assured I am not trying to interfere - far from it; I am simply trying to understand how I have been suckered here -- Senra ( Talk) 15:30, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
User:Par0tT has recently begun editing, and their first actions were to open a move discussion at Talk:Commonwealth of the Philippines#Move request. It has been suggested in the discussion that the user might be a sock of banned user User:23prootie. As User:Elockid/Long-term abuse/23prootie is hosted in your user space, I wanted to make you aware of the situation. I don't think this ia a WP:DUCK situation as yet.

Could you make an editnotice for the page linked above? According to WP:EDNO, if I am not mistaken, only sysops and account creators can make valid editnotices for sub-pages. So, if you could make that, and I'm not mistaken, could the text just be: {{User talk:Allmightyduck/badreverts/notice}} , so I can edit it?

Hi, I was out of the country for about three months, and wasn't on Wikipedia during that time. I noticed that since I've been back, several administrators have blocked various IP addresses without leaving a block notice on the IP's talk page. Is this a policy change?

Mr.Elockid I am requesting to write a person who is good at music,can I make an encyclopedia about him because he is really cool —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagats789 ( talk • contribs)
This guy is causing problems again. He left an inappropriate comment on my talk page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Thegreyanomaly&diff=prev&oldid=389808622), he is making disruptive edits ( [3], [4], [5], [6]), and he is also using his racist logic on the Asian American talkpage and making comments such as
“ | how is it logical that a half Asian man can be considered an asian american? I have only one explanation for this, racism. If you have another explanation, please elucidate me. -Ecko1o1 (talk) 23:27, 9 October 2010 (UTC) | ” |
(which seem to explain why he wants to take that picture down from Interracial marriage in the United States)
He also is using racist logic to try to justify removing some Asian groups from the Asian American page. I made a response to his initial comments on the matter, but I simply don't have the time to respond again because I am bogged down with school work. Can you intervene in this for me and make sure he doesn't start making major edits to Asian American. Also is there any disciplinary action that can be taken against him? Anyways, I need to log off Wikipedia now.

Brian Cook (college sports blogger and author) was recently deleted from wiki. I beleve this to be a mistake as Mr. Cook runs mgoblog.com, one of the most comprehensive college sports blogs in amarica. His content has been referenced by journalists from ESPN, The Big Ten Network, The Detroit Free Press, The Ann Arbor News and by authors such as John U. Bacon who is also a professor at The University of Michigan. Brian Cook also is a freelance sports writer for SBNation.com, as well as many other sports related websites. I trust that Mr. Cook's Wiki page will be reinstated once you have done your proper due diligence.

Hi, I wasn't sure where exactly to bring this up, but given you responded to this user's listing of me on the Vandalism noticeboard, I thought I'd bring it up to you. Now, while the actual content dispute that prompted Crolladder to list me there is a whole other kettle of fish (in summation, a check of the page edit history and his own edits will reveal that his editing has been primarily devoted to pushing his opinion on one single item), what really troubles me his is claim here] that I "emailed hurtful emails to me and then vandalizes the page again". This is egregiously false--I have had no direct contact with this user outside of a few replies on Talk:Oasis (band) and have not e-mailed him at all (I am also not vandalizing the page, but that's really the lesser issue to me right now). Coupled with his editing behavior (in addition to pushing his POV, he threatens other users with reporting them for vandalism), I believe this editor requires a closer look. Thanks for your time.

Hello there, fellow Wikipedian! Please, allow me to clarify that I’m not a robot or anything of the sort... please carry on reading! =) Allow me to introduce myself – My name is Maria and I’m a high school student at El Salvador. You probably know this country, because according to the revision history in the “El Salvador” Wikipedia page, you took part in its maintenance just recently, not many days ago. You probably may think that this is extremely random for a total stranger to ask for your help, out of the blue, but I think you just may be the right person to help me out for my ITGS (IT in a Global Society) investigation. It’s simple, really. I have a set of interview questions (some are open, some are closed) that you, as a WP-editing expert, could kindly answer for me. I’d really appreciate it if you helped me out. I can send you my analytical essay to further prove that I really am a student seeking opinions on the subject of her research, and not some spamming/phishing robot. You can contact me at marialaurapa@gmail.com to send me your interview answers, or any other queries you may have. I am happy to respond to any of your questions regarding my research. If you could respond as soon as possible, that would be great. My full interview transcript is due on Wednesday the 10th of November. Here is the set of questions I would like you to answer:
1. How often do you find offenses and inaccuracies in Wikipedia?
2. If so, what kind of offenses have you found?
3. How do you think this affects the use of Wikipedia for educational purposes?
4. As an editor, have you ever faced any cases of vandalism or unrighteous deletion to your posts?
5. As a scholar, have you ever felt inclined towards using Wikipedia as your only source?
6. If so, or if not, why?
7. Are you an advocate of Open-Source online encyclopedias, or do you consider commercial encyclopedias as a more reliable source of information?
8. (To previous question) Why?
9. Do you believe that every person should have the same right to establishing of an 'editor' hierarchy?(Take into account the repercussions that this has in education)
10. How do you think these changes in Wikipedia transform the open source community?
Thank you for your time!

Are you going to change the Surat population based on the source? We can't really have disparate sources in a single source list, besides there's no logic presented on the current source on how they got their estimates either.

hello ELockid, can you explain me how the site world gazettar is reliable and in what sense.and can a metropolitan population be greater than the city population?
You declined my requests to protect {{ BAR}} and {{ LIT}} because they are "just" redirects. But vandalism to these has the same effect as vandalism to the base templates, and BAR at least has the advantage of being sanctioned by the IOC. Agreed, they don't have a history of vandalism, but I'm guessing many of the others don't either; they are protected usually with comments such as Heavily used meta-template which is seldom updated. Protected due to vandalism concerns or high-risk template. Ma t c hups 03:56, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

sir,
i remember you said this words on my talk page "cough. Btw, the next census in India isn't until 2011. Also, the Surat population you keep speaking off are actual estimates, not actual figures".firstly i would advice you to clear your facts.do you know that the indian census is almost completed.and you are saying that census will be in 2011.then you are in sleep."WAKE UP BABY".secondly,i agree that surat population are estimates.but,do you think that world gazettar is more reliable in estimates than the municipal corporation of the city itself.also, one thing i forgot to tell you that i recently edited the ahmedabad article with the 2001 census population.but spacemansniff leaved me a message saying "stop,your disruptive edits".now,using 2001 census population is also disruptive."GOD BLESS WIKIPEDIA MAN" for there false estimates.

Sorry I took so long to respond. Your answers are great! But I'll clarify it a little for questions 9 and 10... As you may know, Wikipedia considered imposing this new editing policy, like an editor "hierarchy". You can read about it here: http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/67954.html. I know it's a little outdated... For questions 9 and 10 (sorry I didn't clarify beforehand) I meant this particular policy, and by "changes" (Q10) I'm referring to the way in which Wikipedia will change as a whole, if this policy is (or isn't) imposed. Thanks again!

Translated into English:
Shut your mouth, your kid! If you really understand what is vandalism, there would have been blocked for one year on pt-wiki. To tired of editors like you, a real cancer to the project. Stay away from me and my talk page.

This was the right call, in my opinion. I was going to circle back and make that block myself but that pesky work thing got in the way. :-) Frank | talk 00:59, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I note that you have blocked this user. May I also suggest that the editor who first abused this contributor, 7Letters also serves a ban. If you look at the history of this edit war, it was 7Letters who abused this user. The user then reacted. In the interests of demonstrating that wiki is a fair and functioning site, I think it is better to punish equally and fairly. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 00:32, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
It takes two! All I can see is that one editor reacted to comments made by another. The first editor, who remains at liberty to edit abused the blocked editor and ignited an edit war. A block therefore seems highly appropriate for the former, not the latter. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 00:50, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Seems little point. You've tacitly admitted that you blocked a user before you'd researched the full background. You're asking me to provide evidence, when you should know it already. I get more and more disenchanted, nay disgusted, with this site everyday. If reacting to abuse get yous banned, then that speaks volumes about wikipedia. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 04:07, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
If you had bothered to read the figurative book that I have written on your page, then you'd understand my point of view. Sarcasm as as misplaced as legal action. I can't see where else in an article the "suspected" information should be placed, but since you've appointed yourself the arbiter of this page, then I imagine you will continue to guard it jealously to ensure no further "nasty rumours" are posted there. THREE times or otherwise. I imagine I'm now under scrutiny myself and will probably be serving a ban next. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 05:30, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

hello Elockid my name is Aaron Cargill- it is to my understanding that you recently deleted an article of mine (Robbie Leopardi) the reason was that he is not important (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) I just wanted to tell you that he is very important, for example when you google robbie l "Robbie Leopardi" is the first suggestion on top of people like Robbie Lawler (a famous ufc fighter) who by the way has a wikipedia page so if you are going to delete that page why arent you going to delete Robbie Lawler under the same reasons? or please put the page Robbie Leopardi back up- i spent alot of time writing that page on a significant person not for it to be deleted but for people to know about him.

Please can you explain where the edit war comes in with this article? I have been trying to consolidate the 6 lists into one list, so that we can save space/loading, etc. It's just tedious to repeat the same information many times, and everybody who has responded on the talk page agrees.
Surely the best way of protecting the article is to have a word with the person who keeps reverting it every time progress is made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.33 ( talk • contribs)

Thank you for reverting the edits to my userpage earlier today. I actually didn't notice them until I got on right now despite being on since they were made...I did take a look at the edits Brokenradar ( talk · contribs) made, and I went ahead and restored all but one of them. They're minor copyedit style changes to the point where I don't mind them, however thank you for reverting them in any case, as it gave me a chance to review them before displaying them, so to speak.

I am a relatively new editor myself, who is showing some concern for inexperienced editors as well as trying to create useful articles such as Little Thetford, St James' Church, Stretham and Ely and Littleport riots 1816. Unfortuanelty (for me) I do not understand the checkuser and blocking process, so it is difficult for me to review this case sufficiently to make a sensible judgement. As I am still trying to learn, would you be so kind as to drop me a couple of links that would show me the evidence confirming the link between Jgittins ( talk · contribs) and Coramandel23 ( talk · contribs) and also the discussions that have taken place leading to the blocking?

He also is using racist logic to try to justify removing some Asian groups from the Asian American page. I made a response to his initial comments on the matter, but I simply don't have the time to respond again because I am bogged down with school work.

Hi, I wasn't sure where exactly to bring this up, but given you responded to this user's listing of me on the Vandalism noticeboard, I thought I'd bring it up to you. Now, while the actual content dispute that prompted Crolladder to list me there is a whole other kettle of fish (in summation, a check of the page edit history and his own edits will reveal that his editing has been primarily devoted to pushing his opinion on one single item), what really troubles me his is claim here] that I "emailed hurtful emails to me and then vandalizes the page again". This is egregiously false--I have had no direct contact with this user outside of a few replies on Talk:Oasis (band) and have not e-mailed him at all (I am also not vandalizing the page, but that's really the lesser issue to me right now). Coupled with his editing behavior (in addition to pushing his POV, he threatens other users with reporting them for vandalism), I believe this editor requires a closer look. Thanks for your time.

Hello there, fellow Wikipedian! Please, allow me to clarify that I’m not a robot or anything of the sort... please carry on reading! =) Allow me to introduce myself – My name is Maria and I’m a high school student at El Salvador. You probably know this country, because according to the revision history in the “El Salvador” Wikipedia page, you took part in its maintenance just recently, not many days ago. You probably may think that this is extremely random for a total stranger to ask for your help, out of the blue, but I think you just may be the right person to help me out for my ITGS (IT in a Global Society) investigation. It’s simple, really. I have a set of interview questions (some are open, some are closed) that you, as a WP-editing expert, could kindly answer for me. I’d really appreciate it if you helped me out. I can send you my analytical essay to further prove that I really am a student seeking opinions on the subject of her research, and not some spamming/phishing robot. You can contact me at marialaurapa@gmail.com to send me your interview answers, or any other queries you may have. I am happy to respond to any of your questions regarding my research. If you could respond as soon as possible, that would be great. My full interview transcript is due on Wednesday the 10th of November. Here is the set of questions I would like you to answer:
1. How often do you find offenses and inaccuracies in Wikipedia?
2. If so, what kind of offenses have you found?
3. How do you think this affects the use of Wikipedia for educational purposes?
4. As an editor, have you ever faced any cases of vandalism or unrighteous deletion to your posts?
5. As a scholar, have you ever felt inclined towards using Wikipedia as your only source?
6. If so, or if not, why?
7. Are you an advocate of Open-Source online encyclopedias, or do you consider commercial encyclopedias as a more reliable source of information?
8. (To previous question) Why?
9. Do you believe that every person should have the same right to establishing of an 'editor' hierarchy?(Take into account the repercussions that this has in education)
10. How do you think these changes in Wikipedia transform the open source community?
Thank you for your time!

hello ELockid, can you explain me how the site world gazettar is reliable and in what sense.and can a metropolitan population be greater than the city population?
You declined my requests to protect {{ BAR}} and {{ LIT}} because they are "just" redirects. But vandalism to these has the same effect as vandalism to the base templates, and BAR at least has the advantage of being sanctioned by the IOC. Agreed, they don't have a history of vandalism, but I'm guessing many of the others don't either; they are protected usually with comments such as Heavily used meta-template which is seldom updated. Protected due to vandalism concerns or high-risk template. Ma t c hups 03:56, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

sorry, deleting shanghai was an accident, was trying to edit.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.211.13.155 ( talk • contribs)
sir,
i remember you said this words on my talk page "cough. Btw, the next census in India isn't until 2011. Also, the Surat population you keep speaking off are actual estimates, not actual figures".firstly i would advice you to clear your facts.do you know that the indian census is almost completed.and you are saying that census will be in 2011.then you are in sleep."WAKE UP BABY".secondly,i agree that surat population are estimates.but,do you think that world gazettar is more reliable in estimates than the municipal corporation of the city itself.also, one thing i forgot to tell you that i recently edited the ahmedabad article with the 2001 census population.but spacemansniff leaved me a message saying "stop,your disruptive edits".now,using 2001 census population is also disruptive."GOD BLESS WIKIPEDIA MAN" for there false estimates.
Hi, Elockid. Could you do something about Brazil's article? There is an editor called Eduardo Sellan III who insists on adding figures without proper sources and his edits has been reverted by me and another editor but he keeps reverting it. Thanks, -- Lecen ( talk) 17:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
I agree with you. I'll talk with Lecen and Heitor C. Jorge in the Brazil discussion page. I ask you that protects the page until the discussions are resolved in the discussion page. - Eduardo Sellan III ( talk) 23:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Elockid, I need your help in this article since there is one user that insist on publish his own maps that are full of erros and bad quality shape I did requested him to stop doing vandalism and go to the discussion page to debate about it, but he insist on edit war... Pristino is his name.
I already requested full protection to the page.

Sorry I took so long to respond. Your answers are great! But I'll clarify it a little for questions 9 and 10... As you may know, Wikipedia considered imposing this new editing policy, like an editor "hierarchy". You can read about it here: http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/67954.html. I know it's a little outdated... For questions 9 and 10 (sorry I didn't clarify beforehand) I meant this particular policy, and by "changes" (Q10) I'm referring to the way in which Wikipedia will change as a whole, if this policy is (or isn't) imposed. Thanks again!

User Heitor C. Jorge came to my talk page to offend me. He left the following message (he wrote in Portuguese):
Cala sua boca, seu moleque! Se você realmente entendesse o que é vandalismo, não teria sido bloqueado por 1 ano na pt-wiki. To cansado de editores como você, um verdadeiro câncer para o projeto. Fique longe de mim e da minha página de discussão.
Translated into English:
Shut your mouth, your kid! If you really understand what is vandalism, there would have been blocked for one year on pt-wiki. To tired of editors like you, a real cancer to the project. Stay away from me and my talk page.
I do not admit these offenses. He disrespected and policies need to be blocked. - Eduardo Sellan III ( talk) 22:52, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I see I've been reblocked, but there's no indication of how long this reblocking is to be in force. Please let me know expiry date of re-block at my talk page, where you posted the re-block notice. Thanks. 196.210.181.54 ( talk) 13:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC) Communicat
PS: I'm also a bit confused about the sending of messages during block period. The 1st block prevented me from sending messages; this re-block apparently allows me to send messages. I'm baffled. 196.210.181.54 ( talk) Communicat
This was the right call, in my opinion. I was going to circle back and make that block myself but that pesky work thing got in the way. :-) Frank | talk 00:59, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I note that you have blocked this user. May I also suggest that the editor who first abused this contributor, 7Letters also serves a ban. If you look at the history of this edit war, it was 7Letters who abused this user. The user then reacted. In the interests of demonstrating that wiki is a fair and functioning site, I think it is better to punish equally and fairly. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 00:32, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
It takes two! All I can see is that one editor reacted to comments made by another. The first editor, who remains at liberty to edit abused the blocked editor and ignited an edit war. A block therefore seems highly appropriate for the former, not the latter. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 00:50, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Seems little point. You've tacitly admitted that you blocked a user before you'd researched the full background. You're asking me to provide evidence, when you should know it already. I get more and more disenchanted, nay disgusted, with this site everyday. If reacting to abuse get yous banned, then that speaks volumes about wikipedia. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 04:07, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
If you had bothered to read the figurative book that I have written on your page, then you'd understand my point of view. Sarcasm as as misplaced as legal action. I can't see where else in an article the "suspected" information should be placed, but since you've appointed yourself the arbiter of this page, then I imagine you will continue to guard it jealously to ensure no further "nasty rumours" are posted there. THREE times or otherwise. I imagine I'm now under scrutiny myself and will probably be serving a ban next. TVArchivistUK ( talk) 05:30, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I looked on the creators talk page and saw three warnings with the same page name so assumed that the article had been created 3 times. Wouldn't have requested create protection if I knew it was only once! Thanks for looking into it anyway. -- 5 albert square ( talk) 01:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
hello Elockid my name is Aaron Cargill- it is to my understanding that you recently deleted an article of mine (Robbie Leopardi) the reason was that he is not important (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) I just wanted to tell you that he is very important, for example when you google robbie l "Robbie Leopardi" is the first suggestion on top of people like Robbie Lawler (a famous ufc fighter) who by the way has a wikipedia page so if you are going to delete that page why arent you going to delete Robbie Lawler under the same reasons? or please put the page Robbie Leopardi back up- i spent alot of time writing that page on a significant person not for it to be deleted but for people to know about him.

Took me a while to check on this thread, but quite right, that was my oversight, sorry; hadn't realised it was an IP making the threats. Regards, GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 01:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Please can you explain where the edit war comes in with this article? I have been trying to consolidate the 6 lists into one list, so that we can save space/loading, etc. It's just tedious to repeat the same information many times, and everybody who has responded on the talk page agrees.
Surely the best way of protecting the article is to have a word with the person who keeps reverting it every time progress is made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.33 ( talk • contribs)

Hello Maria,
You deleted a page "Louis Camilli"
How does that page get totally deleted so the messages about its deletion won't appear?
Thanks for the quick lock on the page, it's appreciated. Best, Markvs88 ( talk) 02:06, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Elickid. I have blocked 83.26.49.0/24 for a week, as Wikinger seems to have embarked on a rather unpleasant virus campaign. It's my first range block, so please correct it if I have inadvertently kicked all of Poland off Wikipedia. Favonian ( talk) 17:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the edits to my userpage earlier today. I actually didn't notice them until I got on right now despite being on since they were made...I did take a look at the edits Brokenradar ( talk · contribs) made, and I went ahead and restored all but one of them. They're minor copyedit style changes to the point where I don't mind them, however thank you for reverting them in any case, as it gave me a chance to review them before displaying them, so to speak.

I don't think semi'ing ANI is a good solution, though (even for a few hours); do you think there's any other solution? Maybe an edit filter or something? / ƒETCH COMMS / 23:21, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Apparently you blocked a large portion of the government of British Columbia, 142.29.0.0 to 142.33.255.255. Could you explain the reasons for this? Their IT department is asking me questions. They asked me to update their XFF entries, which I did. So given that, is there any need for such a wide range to be blocked for such a long period of time? -- Tim Starling ( talk) 13:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
