Hi Favonian, I noticed you recently blocked user Bidford after their edits on Granada. Based on the first set of edits made by them, the IP edited Mumbai where they have stated that they are the same user as blocked user Aercus3. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 21:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for blocking this user. I have also tagged the account as sockpuppet because I noticed her vandalizing a page about my alma mater using other similar-named accounts.

Hi Favonian, Firstly, thanks for the revdel just completed on a user talk page; greatly appreciated. Would you be able to advise where the best place to report this type of "grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material" is? I thought maybe WP:Oversight or WP:AIV, but am not sure if either is appropriate. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 12:12, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Hitler himself admitted he fathered a child, presumably Jean-Marie Loret. In his book With Hitler to the End: The Memoirs of Adolf Hitler's Valet (1980), Heinz Linge states that Hitler had stated to a number of people "his belief that he had a son, born in 1918 as the result of a relationship Hitler had had with a French girl as a soldier in 1916-1917 in northern France and Belgium...." Linge further states that Hitler had Himmler find the French girl, and that Hitler sent her money. MadchenFurWulff ( talk) 00:56, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@ Favonian, Bbb23, and DoRD: I'm pretty sure that banned user Sonny1998 returned once again, this time as Roman Windfeller (his contributions - [1]).

Dear Committee,
The page I created on the 18th was very quickly deleted. I have read here that a page with the same name was unsatisfactorily created in the past (by other people) and that led to the recent deletion. Please, could you take the time to see the page that I created (which I am certain does not copy the former attempts, comes with verified links to the evidence for the claims made) and give me a few hints regarding the necessary changes so that the page could be acceptable and no longer deleted? Lidia Vianu is a poet, a remarkable professor of contemporary literature at the University of Bucharest and probably one of the most outstanding cultural personalities in Romania today. Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

The reason why I removed those templates, it's because I thought they looked a little weird when I added them there and it looked like it was messing up the article, that's why I undid it. Because I like it the way it was before, normal. But I'm just letting you guy's know, I'm not the user your looking for. Your making a mistake with the wrong user. Also WikipediaGuy just replied to my talk page and told me he's/she's not that user at all, and he/she wanted me to let you guy's know that. TheSimpsons98 ( talk) 01:10, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure about that user too, you should ask him. If he is, then you can open an SPI. But I already confirmed that WikipediaGuy is not that user, and I'm not either. TheSimpsons98 ( talk) 01:56, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for blocking that sockpuppeteer. While you're at it, it may also be a good idea to block the IP 108.173.94.44. It is very likely that that IP belongs to that same user, as it made the same disruptive edit on the main article that the user was vandalizing. -- A guy saved by Jesus ( talk) 22:29, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Since you are a currently active admin I just thought I could ask you a question if that is alright? Starting in one hour (17:00 at UTC+2) is the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification draw. A major draw that will probably be followed by millions and during these draws there are both vandalism and good faith editors interested in adding their teams. This causes a lot of edit conflicts and stops those that usually updates the related articles (me included) from a quick and proper update of the draw with teams in the right places. It would just go faster without all conflicts and incorect edits. The reason I bring this up is to check if the pages can be semi-protected before any vandalism happens or if we have to wait before submitting a WP:RPP? Any answer would be appreciated.

While I was attemtpting to create a wikipedia page with this title I realized you had blocked it. The reason you are getting flooded with requests for creating a page with this title is because of a famous YouTuber that goes by the name of "Kwebbelkop". [1] This person has asked his fans to create a wikipedia page for him. The purpose of me sending this to you is that I would appreciate it if you would kindly withdrew this restriction so us fans can work on a page for the YouTuber. If you could make a page with the title "Kwebbelkop" and nothing else on it so fans can add on to it, that would help with the dillema greatly.

"A university in its basic form is a degree-awarding educational institution with some official recognition. The English word university comes from the original Latin words unus, one, and vertere, to turn, or the totality of all things that exist, which then became in medieval Latin universites facultatum, or combination of all the faculties or branches of learning. The first university in the modern sense is believed by some to have been the medical school founded in the 9th century at Salerno, but the first with a precise founding date appears to have been the Alazhar University of Cairo in 970 A.D.[4], followed by those in Bologna, Paris, Oxford and Cambridge in the early 1000s. These early universities were allowed freedom to govern themselves providing they did not teach atheism or heresy and the European ones were granted the right to elect their own rectors and raise their own finances. Starting as religious educational bodies, what made them universities as distinct from seminaries was the admission of students from outside their own orders. The foundation dates of some other early universities were: Jagiellonian (Krakow) 1369, Barcelona 1450, Basel 1460, Uppsala 1477, Santo Domingo 1538, Pontifical Gregorian 1553, Harvard 1636, Toronto (as Kings College) 1754, Moscow 1755, Sydney 1850, Melbourne 1853, Tokyo 1877, Tasmania 1896 and Peking 1898." and
"University of Salerno, Italian Università Degli Studi Di Salerno, institution of higher learning in Salerno, Italy. Much of the historic interest of the university derives from an antecedent medical school in Salerno that was the earliest and one of the greatest medical schools of the Middle Ages. In fact, some scholars have called this school medieval Europe’s first university. The medical school was noted for its physicians as early as the 10th century, and by the 11th century it was attracting students from all over Europe, as well as Asia and Africa. In 1221 the Holy Roman emperor Frederick II decreed that no doctor in the kingdom could legally practice medicine until he had been examined and publicly approved by the school at Salerno." The present University of Salerno is a distinct institution founded in 1970. Its faculties include letters and philosophy, teacher training, mathematics and science, law, and economics." *Encyclopedia Brittanica.
"Early universities The modern Western university evolved from the medieval schools known as studia generalia; they were generally recognized places of study open to students from all parts of Europe. The earliest studia arose out of efforts to educate clerks and monks beyond the level of the cathedral and monastic schools. The inclusion of scholars from foreign countries constituted the primary difference between the studia and the schools from which they grew.
The earliest Western institution that can be called a university was a famous medical school that arose at Salerno, Italy, in the 9th century and drew students from all over Europe. It remained merely a medical school, however. The first true university in the West was founded at Bologna late in the 11th century. It became a widely respected school of canon and civil law. The first university to arise in northern Europe was the University of Paris, founded between 1150 and 1170. It became noted for its teaching of theology, and it served as a model for other universities in northern Europe such as the University of Oxford in England, which was well established by the end of the 12th century. The Universities of Paris and Oxford were composed of colleges, which were actually endowed residence halls for scholars." -- 95.245.23.206 ( talk) 18:16, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that someone has posted on my talk page while I was gone, a user account with a name that smells more like Evlekis than a Pashtun or whatever (Evlekis likes to invent fancy "foreign" usernames, even though he doesn't seem to be particularly good at foreign langages, "hoogers voot" would be a cross between Swedish "höger fot" and Dutch "rechts voet"...), the timing also smells like Evlekis (just like posting on both my talk page and Bbb23's talk page) since he seems to get bored every Friday night and posts hoaxes on WP to cheer himself up. Part of his fun is also to post hints on my talk page to articles that he has vandalised, but since I can't see deleted contributions could you tell me if any contributions "Major right foot" made during his very short career on en-WP have been deleted? I would also be interetsed in knowing what he posted on his talk page before it got deleted. /Tom Thomas.W talk 18:29, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Again, just saying "I agree" doesn't amount to providing a reason. You both have obvious grudges against me and are being uncivil since the two of you blocked me numerous times on the flimsiest of pretenses. Other editors who do not bare a personal grudge have thanked me for my edits as they plainly add referenced material to an article in desperate need of expansion and balancing of its point of view, from the current non-neutral pro-landlord propaganda piece that it is. Why, pray tell, do either of you think that the term landlord being derived from feudalism, or the fact that "many municipalities have legislated laws to protect tenants from landlords" is possibly not relevant to a landlord article? The material is in the article and obviously deserves inclusion. I'd love to hear an argument or reason, other than "I don't think so" or "I disagree" which do not constitute arguments, but are mere asssertions. Kingshowman ( talk)

I recently started policing the Dr. Oz WP page. It seems to be under constant vandalism for at least the past 2 years.. The bots and wikipedian's that try to correct this (including youerself) have missed certain information that the trolls were successful for removing for nearly 2 years. I recently restored this info and will keep a close eye on it. If you are an admin would you please consider a permanent protection block? a temporary block isn't working, the vandalism hasn't stopped.

Hitler himself admitted he fathered a child, presumably Jean-Marie Loret. In his book With Hitler to the End: The Memoirs of Adolf Hitler's Valet (1980), Heinz Linge states that Hitler had stated to a number of people "his belief that he had a son, born in 1918 as the result of a relationship Hitler had had with a French girl as a soldier in 1916-1917 in northern France and Belgium...." Linge further states that Hitler had Himmler find the French girl, and that Hitler sent her money. MadchenFurWulff ( talk) 00:56, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Dear Committee,
The page I created on the 18th was very quickly deleted. I have read here that a page with the same name was unsatisfactorily created in the past (by other people) and that led to the recent deletion. Please, could you take the time to see the page that I created (which I am certain does not copy the former attempts, comes with verified links to the evidence for the claims made) and give me a few hints regarding the necessary changes so that the page could be acceptable and no longer deleted? Lidia Vianu is a poet, a remarkable professor of contemporary literature at the University of Bucharest and probably one of the most outstanding cultural personalities in Romania today. Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

The reason why I removed those templates, it's because I thought they looked a little weird when I added them there and it looked like it was messing up the article, that's why I undid it. Because I like it the way it was before, normal. But I'm just letting you guy's know, I'm not the user your looking for. Your making a mistake with the wrong user.

Thanks for blocking that sockpuppeteer. While you're at it, it may also be a good idea to block the IP 108.173.94.44.

Hi, Since you are a currently active admin I just thought I could ask you a question if that is alright? Starting in one hour (17:00 at UTC+2) is the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification draw. A major draw that will probably be followed by millions and during these draws there are both vandalism and good faith editors interested in adding their teams. This causes a lot of edit conflicts and stops those that usually updates the related articles (me included) from a quick and proper update of the draw with teams in the right places. It would just go faster without all conflicts and incorect edits. The reason I bring this up is to check if the pages can be semi-protected before any vandalism happens or if we have to wait before submitting a WP:RPP? Any answer would be appreciated.

While I was attemtpting to create a wikipedia page with this title I realized you had blocked it.

[1] This person has asked his fans to create a wikipedia page for him. The purpose of me sending this to you is that I would appreciate it if you would kindly withdrew this restriction so us fans can work on a page for the YouTuber. If you could make a page with the title "Kwebbelkop" and nothing else on it so fans can add on to it, that would help with the dillema greatly.

"A university in its basic form is a degree-awarding educational institution with some official recognition. The English word university comes from the original Latin words unus, one, and vertere, to turn, or the totality of all things that exist, which then became in medieval Latin universites facultatum, or combination of all the faculties or branches of learning. The first university in the modern sense is believed by some to have been the medical school founded in the 9th century at Salerno, but the first with a precise founding date appears to have been the Alazhar University of Cairo in 970 A.D.[4], followed by those in Bologna, Paris, Oxford and Cambridge in the early 1000s. These early universities were allowed freedom to govern themselves providing they did not teach atheism or heresy and the European ones were granted the right to elect their own rectors and raise their own finances. Starting as religious educational bodies, what made them universities as distinct from seminaries was the admission of students from outside their own orders. The foundation dates of some other early universities were: Jagiellonian (Krakow) 1369, Barcelona 1450, Basel 1460, Uppsala 1477, Santo Domingo 1538, Pontifical Gregorian 1553, Harvard 1636, Toronto (as Kings College) 1754, Moscow 1755, Sydney 1850, Melbourne 1853, Tokyo 1877, Tasmania 1896 and Peking 1898." and
"University of Salerno, Italian Università Degli Studi Di Salerno, institution of higher learning in Salerno, Italy. Much of the historic interest of the university derives from an antecedent medical school in Salerno that was the earliest and one of the greatest medical schools of the Middle Ages. In fact, some scholars have called this school medieval Europe’s first university. The medical school was noted for its physicians as early as the 10th century, and by the 11th century it was attracting students from all over Europe, as well as Asia and Africa. In 1221 the Holy Roman emperor Frederick II decreed that no doctor in the kingdom could legally practice medicine until he had been examined and publicly approved by the school at Salerno." The present University of Salerno is a distinct institution founded in 1970. Its faculties include letters and philosophy, teacher training, mathematics and science, law, and economics." *Encyclopedia Brittanica.
"Early universities The modern Western university evolved from the medieval schools known as studia generalia; they were generally recognized places of study open to students from all parts of Europe. The earliest studia arose out of efforts to educate clerks and monks beyond the level of the cathedral and monastic schools. The inclusion of scholars from foreign countries constituted the primary difference between the studia and the schools from which they grew.
The earliest Western institution that can be called a university was a famous medical school that arose at Salerno, Italy, in the 9th century and drew students from all over Europe. It remained merely a medical school, however. The first true university in the West was founded at Bologna late in the 11th century. It became a widely respected school of canon and civil law. The first university to arise in northern Europe was the University of Paris, founded between 1150 and 1170. It became noted for its teaching of theology, and it served as a model for other universities in northern Europe such as the University of Oxford in England, which was well established by the end of the 12th century. The Universities of Paris and Oxford were composed of colleges, which were actually endowed residence halls for scholars." -- 95.245.23.206 ( talk) 18:16, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Part of his fun is also to post hints on my talk page to articles that he has vandalised, but since I can't see deleted contributions could you tell me if any contributions "Major right foot" made during his very short career on en-WP have been deleted?

Again, just saying "I agree" doesn't amount to providing a reason. You both have obvious grudges against me and are being uncivil since the two of you blocked me numerous times on the flimsiest of pretenses. Other editors who do not bare a personal grudge have thanked me for my edits as they plainly add referenced material to an article in desperate need of expansion and balancing of its point of view, from the current non-neutral pro-landlord propaganda piece that it is. Why, pray tell, do either of you think that the term landlord being derived from feudalism, or the fact that "many municipalities have legislated laws to protect tenants from landlords" is possibly not relevant to a landlord article? The material is in the article and obviously deserves inclusion. I'd love to hear an argument or reason, other than "I don't think so" or "I disagree" which do not constitute arguments, but are mere asssertions. Kingshowman ( talk)

The bots and wikipedian's that try to correct this (including youerself) have missed certain information that the trolls were successful for removing for nearly 2 years. I recently restored this info and will keep a close eye on it. If you are an admin would you please consider a permanent protection block? a temporary block isn't working, the vandalism hasn't stopped.
