I'm very disappointed by your characterising the discussion as having "a clear consensus that the city in Western Australia is the primary topic" [1], but I respect your judgement as a fellow admin. Der yck C. 14:17, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
I notice you've done a lot of automated edits replacing links to ping with ping (networking utility). Most of the are OK but you need to be careful since a few of them were inappropriate: [2] [3] [4] [5] are all unambiguously wrong because they were not referring to IP based networks. Without having gone through them all I also noted a few cases where it isn't clear cut but I suspect the wrong sense has been adopted. Crispmuncher ( talk) 00:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC).

Hallo Favonian,
there is again a problem about the nationality of Fermi. I kindly told the guy that consensus has been reached thru discussion about the proper definition, and asked him to go thru the discussion page, but he keeps modifying the lead of the article. Can you please help?. Thanks, Alex2006 ( talk) 06:20, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Hey Favonian! How are you? I hope you are doing well these days. I have a request for you, can you please move this sandobx to the original article that should be entitled " Can't Stop Won't Stop (song)". Thank you :) — Tomica (talk) 11:03, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I just went through all the edits made by 1.55.127.252 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and thought I'd show you all this edit, just to give an idea of what we are dealing with. As usual the vandal is changing the running times for several tracks. In this case, one of the changes was wrong (I assume deliberately misstated), but the other change in the edit was actually correct based on some quick research I conducted. All the edits made by this IP were at least in part bogus except one, here. We have a vandal on our hands whose edits we need to pay close attention to. Very subtle and very sneaky at times. -- RacerX11 Talk to me Stalk me 22:45, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
This is a complete list of the ones I've found (so far), and every last one of them is from Hanoi. He seemed to start this nonsense in early April of this year, but I'm still looking into it. Doc talk 03:08, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
New one in a new range. -- RacerX11 Talk to me Stalk me 12:55, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Doc, take a look at these two edits [6] and [7].
This first one was made in 2010 by 113.22.86.91 ( talk · contribs) from Hanoi.
The second was in March 2012 by 113.23.19.113 ( talk · contribs) also from Hanoi.
They second one is efectively reverting the first from two years prior.
And there's more of course, this just an example. Note the prev. edit in 2010 was also a Hanoi IP 113.22.124.110 ( talk · contribs).
I started to revert some the stuff from March-April 2012, but I'm gonna have to research those changes better as I may have restored some incorrect information. What do you make of all this? And please feel free to jump in and fix what you can from any of those 113 users if you are so inclined to do so. Thanks. -- RacerX11 Talk to me Stalk me 21:42, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Favonian, just for your information as the blocking administrator of User:Wnnse i thought it would be important for you to know that a Sockpuppet investigation has been started by me. The main suspected sockpuppet is User:Bow-bb and many other multiple IP addresses which all track ISP Turk Telekom in Isantabul, Turkey. If more possible evidence or statements can be given then it will be good for the case. Regards. TheGeneralUser ( talk) 09:51, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Can you take a look at 69th Infantry Regiment (United States)? An editor has just about blanked the page, and seems hostile about it. I don't want to get into an edit war over it. Thanks. INever Cry 18:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
I know you were getting fed up with reverts on how to handle additional spelling on articles but what is my recourse? You protected the standing version of Sophie Lefèvre at the HandsomeFella edit. Next Jelena Janković gets protected at the HandsomeFella edit. I asked for help on the Jelena Jankovic talk page. Now this morning I see HandsomeFella has done the same to Toni Androic. I reverted back to the original and it was instantly removed again. I ask once more what to do lest he change every article out there? Am I just supposed to sit back and let him do it? I have a shadow that will probably now add something (we'll see), but thanks. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 18:30, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I started looking at this person's edit history after they were reported to WP:AIV; you subsequently blocked him before I could finish following up.
I encourage you to reconsider your block. I suspect this may just be a well-intended newbie trying to create articles about people in his own family. If so, getting his articles tagged as "hoaxes" (instead of non-notable or COI) may have made him more determined to recreate them, knowing that they were, in fact, not hoaxes.
I left some comments for him on his talk page following up on this. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs) 15:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
This doesn't seem right. Per WP:UP, "User talk pages should not redirect to anything other than the talk page of another account controlled by the same user." More to the point, it is inappropriate because the user is an admin. A newbie attempting to talk to this admin might have a very difficult time. Viriditas ( talk) 03:22, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Favonian. I don't know if you were responding to my AN/I post or if you came to AIV out of the blue, but thanks for addressing the bot-added users. I had left a request at AN/I because I did not know if edit filter or LTA reported users needed to be reported or logged somewhere. The socking and CSD application seemed fairly routine but I did not want to overlook any housekeeping that needed attention. If you have any input, I'd be interested.

Hello,
Recently, a significant deal of information from the article for performer Vivien Carter ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivien_Carter ) was deleted. This was because some of the information was considered personal.
Between us, myself and the subject had been deleting information until the article reached a level that the subject was happy with. The article remained this way for a month, until admins added all the original information back in. As it is causing conflict, we ask that the article be deleted.
Thank you, Hannah AndAllThatJazz175 ( talk) 21:04, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Okay, well how do we lessen the information that is there, and get it to save like that, rather than all the old information being added again? That was what we originally wanted - we did not want to remove the article, just shorten it. We had every intension of continuing to add to it as and when appropriate. I do not understand how you can create an article but not delete information that is wrong, or that someone is not comfortable with when it concerns themself. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you AndAllThatJazz175 ( talk) 21:32, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Right, okay. And do we request things to be removed, or removals to be approved (if that makes sense?) when we wish to make them? Apologies if I am asking obvious questions, I just want to make sure we get this right. Thank you very much for your help. AndAllThatJazz175 ( talk) 21:39, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Why do you always revert my changes. Why do you find important the mention that Anne was 32 or 33 when she married when her birth date is unknown - 1501 or 1507 we don't know - plus her marriage was dissolved on May 17 not May 14 - it happened after her trial which took place on May 15. I don't mean to be obtuse but it is annoying to have corrections reverted when they are right. -- 70.29.251.36 ( talk) 17:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Favonian, sorry for disturbing in your summertime, hope you are enjoying it! I see you have intervened in history articles, and don´t like Vandals. You may want to take a look at the ongoing dispute, which will be much appreciated, with a recurrent disruptive editor (a crusader?) not adding anything, not improving the article, breaching edition rules (starting from the Civility rules) and pushing permanently his point of view, edit warring, WASTING my time, quite fed up by now.

Hello, I agree with 'Hrachiko' I think it would be good if we were just to move 'Harpenden' to 'Harpenden, Hertfordshire' this would increase precision and cause less confusion. It would be great if the name of the town included it's county. It isn't a major change and I believe it would be for the better. Thank you in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anasoon212 ( talk • contribs) 20:36, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Favonian, The Harpenden issue does also effect social network sites. As peoples place of residence is Wikipedia orientated. Many people see profile's of those living in Harpenden and see no county of where it is situated. I apologise for causing major problems on this website but that is the only thing I would like to change. 'Harpenden, Hertfordshire' Please take my comments into consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrachiko ( talk • contribs) 22:05, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Favonian, There is another St Albans in the USA. I believe it would be better to include the county name to avoid confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrachiko ( talk • contribs) 21:33, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
You have no reason to deny the changes. You are just being stubborn. There is ANOTHER St Albans in the USA. Change the name to St Albans, Hertfordshire or St Albans, United Kingdom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrachiko ( talk • contribs) 21:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
I believe you are mistaken in thinking that I have vandalised the reference desk. I tried to archive some of the questions. And that, unfortunately required deleting the original copies.
P.S. I would expect at least 3 warnings before being giving my "final" warning. It's good wikiquette!
Hello! I saw that you recently blocked 72.79.180.47 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) for disruptive editing. I agree that the massive additions to influenced/influences fields was out of hand and needed to be stopped, but I don't believe that I or anyone else had yet warned the editor before the block.

What is written on the Sunni opinion is not the Sunni opinion. What is said in the beginning is true, but till this part: "Sunni opinions of the Umayyad dynasty after Muawiyah are dim, viewing many of the rulers as sinners and the cause of great tribulation in the Ummah[citation needed]. For example, in the section concerning Quran 17:60[23] in the exegesis by al-Suyuti entitled Dur al-Manthur, the author writes that there exist traditions which describe the Umayyads as "the cursed tree". There are some exceptions to this, for example Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz is praised as one of the greatest Muslim rulers after the four Rightly Guided Caliphs. Only one Umayyad ruler (Caliphs of Damascus), Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, is unanimously praised by Sunni sources for his devout piety and justice and for his efforts to spread Islam and his efforts to undo the wrongdoings of his fore-bearers eventually led to internal hostilities within the dynasty that ultimately lead to his poisoning in the year 720." This lacks sources, and is actually the Shiaa opinion of the Sunni opinion. And I have sources to prove otherwise. For example the verse 17:60 according to Sunnis it is not about Muawiyah's lineage. It is a Shiaa opinion not a Sunni. Here what is the actual Sunni opinion: Sunni view Muawiyah as good man, who made his own Ijtihad during the First Fitna, which may have turned out wrong according to them, and they point out the fact that he was one of the writers of the Quran. But they also criticize the change from a Caliphate to a monarchy, and criticize the Mawali system. Generally, They view the Umayyad regime as a good time, especially during Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz regime, that became bad near its ending. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BelalSaid ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Can you take a look at 69th Infantry Regiment (United States)? An editor has just about blanked the page, and seems hostile about it. I don't want to get into an edit war over it. Thanks. INever Cry 18:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
I know you were getting fed up with reverts on how to handle additional spelling on articles but what is my recourse? You protected the standing version of Sophie Lefèvre at the HandsomeFella edit. Next Jelena Janković gets protected at the HandsomeFella edit. I asked for help on the Jelena Jankovic talk page. Now this morning I see HandsomeFella has done the same to Toni Androic. I reverted back to the original and it was instantly removed again. I ask once more what to do lest he change every article out there? Am I just supposed to sit back and let him do it? I have a shadow that will probably now add something (we'll see), but thanks. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 18:30, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I started looking at this person's edit history after they were reported to WP:AIV; you subsequently blocked him before I could finish following up.
I encourage you to reconsider your block. I suspect this may just be a well-intended newbie trying to create articles about people in his own family. If so, getting his articles tagged as "hoaxes" (instead of non-notable or COI) may have made him more determined to recreate them, knowing that they were, in fact, not hoaxes.
I left some comments for him on his talk page following up on this. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs) 15:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
This doesn't seem right. Per WP:UP, "User talk pages should not redirect to anything other than the talk page of another account controlled by the same user." More to the point, it is inappropriate because the user is an admin. A newbie attempting to talk to this admin might have a very difficult time. Viriditas ( talk) 03:22, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Favonian. I don't know if you were responding to my AN/I post or if you came to AIV out of the blue, but thanks for addressing the bot-added users. I had left a request at AN/I because I did not know if edit filter or LTA reported users needed to be reported or logged somewhere. The socking and CSD application seemed fairly routine but I did not want to overlook any housekeeping that needed attention. If you have any input, I'd be interested.

Hello,
Recently, a significant deal of information from the article for performer Vivien Carter ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivien_Carter ) was deleted. This was because some of the information was considered personal.
Between us, myself and the subject had been deleting information until the article reached a level that the subject was happy with. The article remained this way for a month, until admins added all the original information back in. As it is causing conflict, we ask that the article be deleted.
Thank you, Hannah AndAllThatJazz175 ( talk) 21:04, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Okay, well how do we lessen the information that is there, and get it to save like that, rather than all the old information being added again? That was what we originally wanted - we did not want to remove the article, just shorten it. We had every intension of continuing to add to it as and when appropriate. I do not understand how you can create an article but not delete information that is wrong, or that someone is not comfortable with when it concerns themself. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you AndAllThatJazz175 ( talk) 21:32, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Right, okay. And do we request things to be removed, or removals to be approved (if that makes sense?) when we wish to make them? Apologies if I am asking obvious questions, I just want to make sure we get this right. Thank you very much for your help. AndAllThatJazz175 ( talk) 21:39, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Why do you always revert my changes. Why do you find important the mention that Anne was 32 or 33 when she married when her birth date is unknown - 1501 or 1507 we don't know - plus her marriage was dissolved on May 17 not May 14 - it happened after her trial which took place on May 15. I don't mean to be obtuse but it is annoying to have corrections reverted when they are right. -- 70.29.251.36 ( talk) 17:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Favonian, sorry for disturbing in your summertime, hope you are enjoying it! I see you have intervened in history articles, and don´t like Vandals. You may want to take a look at the ongoing dispute, which will be much appreciated, with a recurrent disruptive editor (a crusader?) not adding anything, not improving the article, breaching edition rules (starting from the Civility rules) and pushing permanently his point of view, edit warring, WASTING my time, quite fed up by now. I preferred that another editor took part before resorting to directly blocking him. Iñaki LL ( talk) 22:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Favonian, First of all I would just like to know what mistsake I made, I'm not angry, simply curious. Also I just wanted to make it clear that in the introductory paragraphs it said that 'more recently the word ape had become a synonym for hominoid' so I deleted the table that contradicted said quote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by C-dawg181297 ( talk • contribs) 20:09, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I agree with 'Hrachiko' I think it would be good if we were just to move 'Harpenden' to 'Harpenden, Hertfordshire' this would increase precision and cause less confusion. It would be great if the name of the town included it's county. It isn't a major change and I believe it would be for the better. Thank you in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anasoon212 ( talk • contribs) 20:36, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Favonian, The Harpenden issue does also effect social network sites. As peoples place of residence is Wikipedia orientated. Many people see profile's of those living in Harpenden and see no county of where it is situated. I apologise for causing major problems on this website but that is the only thing I would like to change. 'Harpenden, Hertfordshire' Please take my comments into consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrachiko ( talk • contribs) 22:05, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Favonian, There is another St Albans in the USA. I believe it would be better to include the county name to avoid confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrachiko ( talk • contribs) 21:33, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
You have no reason to deny the changes. You are just being stubborn. There is ANOTHER St Albans in the USA. Change the name to St Albans, Hertfordshire or St Albans, United Kingdom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrachiko ( talk • contribs) 21:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
I believe you are mistaken in thinking that I have vandalised the reference desk. I tried to archive some of the questions. And that, unfortunately required deleting the original copies.
P.S. I would expect at least 3 warnings before being giving my "final" warning. It's good wikiquette!
Hello! I saw that you recently blocked 72.79.180.47 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) for disruptive editing. I agree that the massive additions to influenced/influences fields was out of hand and needed to be stopped, but I don't believe that I or anyone else had yet warned the editor before the block. I am guessing that you know something I don't here (sock/block evasion/something); but unless it should be obvious to the IP, could you drop a block notice at their talk page to explain?

What is written on the Sunni opinion is not the Sunni opinion. What is said in the beginning is true, but till this part: "Sunni opinions of the Umayyad dynasty after Muawiyah are dim, viewing many of the rulers as sinners and the cause of great tribulation in the Ummah[citation needed]. For example, in the section concerning Quran 17:60[23] in the exegesis by al-Suyuti entitled Dur al-Manthur, the author writes that there exist traditions which describe the Umayyads as "the cursed tree". There are some exceptions to this, for example Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz is praised as one of the greatest Muslim rulers after the four Rightly Guided Caliphs. Only one Umayyad ruler (Caliphs of Damascus), Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, is unanimously praised by Sunni sources for his devout piety and justice and for his efforts to spread Islam and his efforts to undo the wrongdoings of his fore-bearers eventually led to internal hostilities within the dynasty that ultimately lead to his poisoning in the year 720." This lacks sources, and is actually the Shiaa opinion of the Sunni opinion. And I have sources to prove otherwise. For example the verse 17:60 according to Sunnis it is not about Muawiyah's lineage. It is a Shiaa opinion not a Sunni. Here what is the actual Sunni opinion: Sunni view Muawiyah as good man, who made his own Ijtihad during the First Fitna, which may have turned out wrong according to them, and they point out the fact that he was one of the writers of the Quran. But they also criticize the change from a Caliphate to a monarchy, and criticize the Mawali system. Generally, They view the Umayyad regime as a good time, especially during Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz regime, that became bad near its ending. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BelalSaid ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
