Since removing words of propaganda is now called vandalism, could you explain when Macedonian was a language? Have you ever studied history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.73.134.215 ( talk) 11:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Please semi-protect Talk:Rango (2011 film) and Talk:Claudia Black to a length equal to the respective articles' semi-protection. I raised this issue yesterday at RFPP but it was ignored. The issue is that the poster is an IP-hopper who portrays himself as being the boyfriend of the actress. Whether it's a truly obsessed fan or just a garden-variety troll, either way it's a BLP violation and should be stifled. Thank you! ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
You blocked this user about a year ago, and they're now requesting unblock. There does seem to be some doubt about the sockpuppetry, and given the elapsed time I'm minded to give them another chance - I'll keep an eye on their edits if unblocked. What do you think? -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 11:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

I apologize to you for writing the same twice, but maybe you have no intention to visit my talk page again.
What I wanted to say is that the category "Alumnus of the Czech Technical University" should, from my point of view, not be added again. Havel is already assigned to a lot of categories. It would be even rather misleading. Alumnus#Usage indicates that only "a graduate of an educational institution" should be normally called alumnus. I would respect this indication. As far as I know, Havel has only shortly studied engineering (or what it was), then he studied "theatre science" or something like this. He had in fact no particular inclination to engineering or some kind of technology. I am sorry, but he was in a certain sense rather a dreamer with inclination to the true "bohème", and in any case he was an artist turned politician. Now, there is a sort of idolatry concerning his person in the Czech Republic. And this is also something I don´t agree with. -- Zbrnajsem ( talk) 21:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
OOps: firstly let me thank you for your vigilance at my talk page. Favonian, a CC for you of my post to Salvio:
Salvio, I'm wondering about this [1] (I've never seen a diff that states "You cannot view this diff because one or both of the revisions have been removed from the public archives. Details can be found in the deletion log for this page.") and this [2]. Here [3] I managed to find some explanation... what's going on here? Favonian, I am CC'ing you with this post to my good protector Salvio. What is happening here? Djathinkimacowboy ( talk) 04:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
You're too good and fast for me. I forgot the : within the Category wiki-link and then ran into an edit conflict at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, so I replaced my AIV report on that noticeboard, not realizing you had already given the IP a 2-week block.

I am sorry if you disagree with my actions. However, User:Playmobilonhishorse continues to make libelous comments regarding Katia Tiutiunnik. Could you please take a moment to read the page? If you do, you'll see that it does not even mention Lambert Academic Publishing (which that user claims it's promoting) and is backed up by many more credible citations/references than numerous other Wiki pages. Could you please help me improve the article, if that's your intention? It's been up for over 3 years and quite a few editors (including yourself) have contributed to it.

Hey Favonian. I hate to bug you, but being a mature user, I was hoping you could resolve an error I created. I was trying to create a Redirect for Ponte do Prado, following the Redirect Wizard, but invariably made a mistake. I wanted to rename the article "Bridge of Prado (Vila Verde)", but invariably created a redirect for the same. Meaning, the name of the article continues to be in Portuguese (Ponte do Prado), and now there is a redirect called "Bridge of Prado (Vila Verde)" that redirects to "Ponte do Prado". I muddled it up completely. Anyway, could you take a look at it, and fix it, if you are not busy. Ruben JC (Zeorymer) ( talk) 16:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey Favonian, remember this editor? (Blast from the past.) I stumbled upon them again, by accident, and found that they are still doing the same thing--adding a plethora of images with the customary hard line breaks, unclear and confusing text, and complete lack of proper sourcing. See this one, for instance. I also have the feeling that there is a COI issue here: the images they added (and uploaded to Commons) all derive from the University Hospital Zurich, or USZ--see the editor's username. I think the following: they should be blocked again for doing what they were blocked for the first time, for their username which represents an organization, and for promoting their employer/institution by adding those image galleries with the name so prominently displayed. (I wouldn't think of the promotion charge if it weren't for the username.) But maybe I'm just hungry and cranky--either way, since you were the blocking admin, I thought I'd drop you a line. Also, jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig. Drmies ( talk) 22:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello there Favonian. Since you are an editor who has been fighting this longer and more intensely than I have, I would like to ask you to have look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mountains concerning IPs beginning with 92. They are from the UK and all have the same connection provider TalkTalk Communications. I think they are the same individual because the vandalism is of similar nature (changing elevation to apparently random values). I would be interested in any opinion you have on what could be done, if anything, other than what we are already doing (reverting, warning, and blocking).-- Racerx11 ( talk) 20:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you recently blocked User:122.161.78.118 for attacks. Their editing behaviour since returning from that block is probably best described as mixed. However, even among the good stuff there is unduly belligerent/attacking phraseology, a classic of which is this. If they keep up that sort of tone then we are going to hit problems with civility across quite a range of articles as various ethnic groups take up sides. As it happens, their sources on this occasion seem perfectly reasonable to me, although I have yet to really get my head around the subject.

User:Goodbyz's claim in both unblock requests that the threat was not a legal threat within the meaning of WP:legal does not sit easily with me. When Goodbyz appeared at the Gingrich presidential campaign article talk page to advocate for the edit-warring multiple-IP user there (who promptly vanished, and has not reappeared therafter), Goodbyz was at pains to claim that the IP user is "an attorney" [7], and also claimed, at Goodbyz's UTP, that Goodbyz him/herself is the IP's "colleague", [8], i.e. someone with professional legal expertise of some kind.

Dear Favonian,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 19:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

In regards to Markus Persson, what consensus were you referring to? Was it where there were several neutral comments and strong opposes, along with a modest suggestion to move it to Notch (game designer)? If that's what you were referring to, then the consensus you were referring to was nonexistent. I cannot believe such a move would be initiated from such a weak and unsupported discussion, especially considering that we're acknowledging somebody by a pseudonym that is only half-and-half recognized. I suggest this move is reverted immediately. DarthBotto talk• cont 10:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello Favonian. I really think that we met here and there on Wikipedia. Could you please see this edit this.

can you please keep an eye on Fermi, Giacconi, and other Italian-American (or American-Italian :-)) scientist articles?

Hello, I am a student of optometry in America and you say I am vandalizing the optometry page. Well, in America optometrists can prescribe narcotic drugs to treat eye disease so what I am posting is not false. Do you want evidence? We are eye doctors here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.29.229 ( talk) 00:33, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
And yes, we are doctors, we get paid the same as the eye surgeons (ophthalmologists) by government insurance for what is within our scope of practice.
Here are sources from the American Optometric Association: (these are the state by state laws) https://www.aoa.org/Images/oral.gif https://www.aoa.org/Images/glaucoma.gif https://www.aoa.org/Images/Controlled-Substance.gif https://www.aoa.org/Images/Injectables-12-2011.gif
And optometrists are considered physicians by Medicare which is the biggest insurance system in the USA: " The term “physician”, when used in connection with the performance of any function or action, means (1) a doctor of medicine or osteopathy...(4) a doctor of optometry, but only for purposes of subsection (p)(1) with respect to the provision of items or services described in subsection (s) which he is legally authorized to perform as a doctor of optometry by the State in which he performs them..."

What I wanted to say is that the category "Alumnus of the Czech Technical University" should, from my point of view, not be added again. Havel is already assigned to a lot of categories. It would be even rather misleading. Alumnus#Usage indicates that only "a graduate of an educational institution" should be normally called alumnus. I would respect this indication. As far as I know, Havel has only shortly studied engineering (or what it was), then he studied "theatre science" or something like this. He had in fact no particular inclination to engineering or some kind of technology. I am sorry, but he was in a certain sense rather a dreamer with inclination to the true "bohème", and in any case he was an artist turned politician. Now, there is a sort of idolatry concerning his person in the Czech Republic. And this is also something I don´t agree with. -- Zbrnajsem ( talk) 21:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
OOps: firstly let me thank you for your vigilance at my talk page. Favonian, a CC for you of my post to Salvio:
Salvio, I'm wondering about this [1] (I've never seen a diff that states "You cannot view this diff because one or both of the revisions have been removed from the public archives. Details can be found in the deletion log for this page.") and this [2]. Here [3] I managed to find some explanation... what's going on here? Favonian, I am CC'ing you with this post to my good protector Salvio. What is happening here? Djathinkimacowboy ( talk) 04:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
You're too good and fast for me. I forgot the : within the Category wiki-link and then ran into an edit conflict at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, so I replaced my AIV report on that noticeboard, not realizing you had already given the IP a 2-week block.

Hey Favonian. I hate to bug you, but being a mature user, I was hoping you could resolve an error I created. I was trying to create a Redirect for Ponte do Prado, following the Redirect Wizard, but invariably made a mistake. I wanted to rename the article "Bridge of Prado (Vila Verde)", but invariably created a redirect for the same. Meaning, the name of the article continues to be in Portuguese (Ponte do Prado), and now there is a redirect called "Bridge of Prado (Vila Verde)" that redirects to "Ponte do Prado". I muddled it up completely. Anyway, could you take a look at it, and fix it, if you are not busy. Ruben JC (Zeorymer) ( talk) 16:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey Favonian, remember this editor? (Blast from the past.) I stumbled upon them again, by accident, and found that they are still doing the same thing--adding a plethora of images with the customary hard line breaks, unclear and confusing text, and complete lack of proper sourcing. See this one, for instance. I also have the feeling that there is a COI issue here: the images they added (and uploaded to Commons) all derive from the University Hospital Zurich, or USZ--see the editor's username. I think the following: they should be blocked again for doing what they were blocked for the first time, for their username which represents an organization, and for promoting their employer/institution by adding those image galleries with the name so prominently displayed. (I wouldn't think of the promotion charge if it weren't for the username.) But maybe I'm just hungry and cranky--either way, since you were the blocking admin, I thought I'd drop you a line. Also, jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig. Drmies ( talk) 22:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello there Favonian. Since you are an editor who has been fighting this longer and more intensely than I have, I would like to ask you to have look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mountains concerning IPs beginning with 92. They are from the UK and all have the same connection provider TalkTalk Communications. I think they are the same individual because the vandalism is of similar nature (changing elevation to apparently random values). I would be interested in any opinion you have on what could be done, if anything, other than what we are already doing (reverting, warning, and blocking).-- Racerx11 ( talk) 20:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you recently blocked User:122.161.78.118 for attacks. Their editing behaviour since returning from that block is probably best described as mixed. However, even among the good stuff there is unduly belligerent/attacking phraseology, a classic of which is this. If they keep up that sort of tone then we are going to hit problems with civility across quite a range of articles as various ethnic groups take up sides. As it happens, their sources on this occasion seem perfectly reasonable to me, although I have yet to really get my head around the subject.

User:Goodbyz's claim in both unblock requests that the threat was not a legal threat within the meaning of WP:legal does not sit easily with me. When Goodbyz appeared at the Gingrich presidential campaign article talk page to advocate for the edit-warring multiple-IP user there (who promptly vanished, and has not reappeared therafter), Goodbyz was at pains to claim that the IP user is "an attorney" [7], and also claimed, at Goodbyz's UTP, that Goodbyz him/herself is the IP's "colleague", [8], i.e. someone with professional legal expertise of some kind.

Dear Favonian,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 19:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

In regards to Markus Persson, what consensus were you referring to? Was it where there were several neutral comments and strong opposes, along with a modest suggestion to move it to Notch (game designer)? If that's what you were referring to, then the consensus you were referring to was nonexistent. I cannot believe such a move would be initiated from such a weak and unsupported discussion, especially considering that we're acknowledging somebody by a pseudonym that is only half-and-half recognized. I suggest this move is reverted immediately. DarthBotto talk• cont 10:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am a student of optometry in America and you say I am vandalizing the optometry page.

We are eye doctors here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.29.229 ( talk) 00:33, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
And yes, we are doctors, we get paid the same as the eye surgeons (ophthalmologists) by government insurance for what is within our scope of practice.
Here are sources from the American Optometric Association: (these are the state by state laws) https://www.aoa.org/Images/oral.gif https://www.aoa.org/Images/glaucoma.gif https://www.aoa.org/Images/Controlled-Substance.gif https://www.aoa.org/Images/Injectables-12-2011.gif
And optometrists are considered physicians by Medicare which is the biggest insurance system in the USA: " The term “physician”, when used in connection with the performance of any function or action, means (1) a doctor of medicine or osteopathy...(4) a doctor of optometry, but only for purposes of subsection (p)(1) with respect to the provision of items or services described in subsection (s) which he is legally authorized to perform as a doctor of optometry by the State in which he performs them..."
