Hello! I'm trying to write a BLP of author Fern Reiss (my draft is currently located here: User:WikiTome/Fern Reiss). This being one of my first BLPs and not being completely clear on all the rules, I was wondering if you might check it out and give me some feedback on what I should improve before it would be accepted.

This rollback removal was a good call; curious as to whether Twinkle should be revoked as well given this major mistake yesterday (delinking "Patna" from 300+ articles via Twinkle with no clue how it came about). Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 21:26, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Hypothetically speaking (as in the rhetorical equivalent of "my friend has a problem..."), how does the four-warnings rule work in regard to repeat violators? For instance, if an editor has received several vandalism/disruptive warnings, and maybe even been previously blocked, does the next offense start the clock over at level 1? If so, what sort of time frame would indicate a start-over as opposed to a continuation of the count? Fat&Happy ( talk) 02:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
For someone that received the benefit of your leniency, User:NYyankees51 has surprisingly jumped back into editing the same sort of controversial articles that prompted his socking and subsequent block evasion in the first place. Instead of following your advice to take "the opportunity to become an upstanding member of the community" and his promise he "absolutely will work hard to gain the trust of the community" he seems to be surrounding himself with conflicts -- see: WP:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Repeated religious attacks by WikiManOne and his recent edit history. He certainly hasn't gained my trust...
I don't really have a horse in this race since I haven't edited any of the articles that he has, but if I had an inclination to, I think I'd avoid it since I know I'd be stepping on a can of worms. Maybe I'm wrong, but when I read his acceptance of your deal last month, I expected he would keep a low profile and edit Geography articles or work on the Great Backlog Drive or something else less controversial. Perhaps you could have a talk with him and maybe rein him in a little bit. Thanks. Mojoworker ( talk) 06:49, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
You have removed my rollback rights. I want to know which IP should I talk to? The user keeps changing his IP (some of them are 165.124.86.204, 165.124.98.189 , 165.124.98.61 etc. No repeat reverts are from the same IP. The point in question was added by User: Devanampriya. See his contributions. It is based on some consensus on the Indo-Greek article. I have done a few mistakes in the past like I removed some of the backlinks to the Patna article accidently. The rollback feature enabled me to undo these changes very quickly.
I feel you should have looked into these facts in a little bit more detail before revoking my rollback rights. Anyways, I am happy with your decision. Atleast now I won't have to try hard to keep Wikipedia pure. I can now just go away from all this. Boolyme बूलीमी Chat बोलो!! 09:00, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Well... not me specifically, but my underlying IP. I have no need of being blocked myself of course... but as I don't need to edit and am already quite intoxicated, so I could be blocked for a bit with no problem.
And importantly have computers lying around on this internet connection, with many drunk people shortly to arrive here, and one of them is a wiki vandal... it would be good to stop that. Heck you could just block the udnerlying IP not me if you want. Obviously I'm gonna do my best to stop any of that shit but pre emption is better :)
P.S. This may be the 3rd time now I've asked ya for a favour, cause you're a nice chap... if these are a nuisance please let me know!
P.P.S. You're obviously a brit... Where you based? I'm in 3 parts of England and 1 part of Scotland regularly (live in London), if any of them correspond we should have a pint some time ;)

Since your block of Special:Contributions/74.92.27.193 on the 21st of January, that IP has made 8 more disruptive edits, all reverted by bots or users. That IP was previously blocked on the 18th of November 2010. In all, the user has ignored 11 warnings or blockages to make 31 disruptive edits, all reverted by bots or users, and has made no constructive edits at all, other than a promise to not do it again, after which came the majority of vandalism: 26 more disruptive edits.

I was wondering, what do you look for in an admin candidate? I've seen you support RFA's I never would (Rami R; in which I went neutral), and oppose others that I would support. It cannot be length of service (I agree with you on this), edit count (also agree), or activity (I disagree here).

Hi, I think regarding this discussion the user agrees to have the right attached to his account. Off2riorob ( talk) 22:36, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Your suspicion is justifiable, but I can explain. I have never had the page on my watchlist, but it is a subject which interests me. I read the article and thought it was good. I also thought that for a subject of such high interest, a high-quality article is important, and a GA review can do wonders for an article. With regards to your concerns, I guarantee I am committed enough. I honestly can't promise you that I am knowledgeable enough, but I'm currently studying politics and have done work experience in the Palace of Westminster – I let you make your own mind up!!

Hey,
I started a discussion at Template talk:Talkback#Styling regarding the change that (probably fairly) warranted this revert. We've got a few "user note" type templates right now which all used hand-hacked divs instead of centralised styling like most message boxes; IMO we should migrate them all to do so, either using {{ tmbox}} or a new design if (as suggested in that edit summary) there's general agreement that {{ tmbox}} is unsuitable.

Could you please take a look at
this discussion to rename

beat a dead horse, and the 7 day discussion period is long over. His argument is basically that we should ignore the owner/operator's capitalization on
the logo used on the sides of the trains as well as the capitalization on
the official map and rename thousands of articles pages to lowercase because
WP:I don't like it. Thanks!

Hi HJ - I happened to notice a bit of revision deletion you were doing in the past little while that involved a highly inappropriate username. (Incidentally, good work, thank you for addressing that.) I'm not sure if you're aware, but oversighters have an ability to block/reblock accounts with the username suppressed so that it does not appear on edit summaries made by the account or in any logs (one still has to do some RD for sinebot things or some users' reversion summaries, and often the content is pretty awful too). Just one more tool in the project's arsenal, so please don't hesitate to ping the oversight list if you see that in the future. In this case, I've just done the reblock, but let me or another oversighter know if there's something else that needs to be done. Risker ( talk) 04:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello HJ, around a week ago I wrote an article about a book. The topic of the book was very sensitive, and I did my best to make sure I got it right. I asked administrator Ironholds to edit the article, while it still was in my user space, and remove any POV he'd see there, and only after this move it to the main space. Ironholds did as I asked. He also suggested a DYK hook that I ended up using. DYK hook was submitted and promoted on February 22. In a meantime the article was edited by a few users with a different editing background, but the article has never been tagged. Then on February 24 user:Gatoclass added their objection to the nomination. I would have not bothered you with that, if it were the first case user:Gatoclass objects DYK hooks on certain topics with no reason at all. One time they removed my DYK that was promoted by another administrator from a queue and were advised by Sanstein do not this again. There are dozen of similar examples of objecting valid DYK by user:Gatoclass(the differences could be presented by request).On February 26 user:Gatoclass wrote in DYK "I'm currently working on this article. I will leave a note here when I'm done.", but it was more than 2 days ago, and the user has never touched the article although they were active. I used to engage in a long discussions with that user on DYK nominations, but I would not like to do it anymore. Could you please give me an advise how to proceed? Thanks.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 15:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi HJ. I want to point something out to you. In the month that SD was topic banned, I believe there were at most, two AE actions in the Israel-Arab topic area. Upon your lifting of his sanction, in fact within a day of the lifting of his sanction, there were four! This is directly attributable to his involvement in the topic area where he brings the most aggressive battleground mentality as compared to any other editor. He's glued to his computer 24/7 and edits non-stop until in exhaustion, you just give up. I also would like for you to respond to this comment [3] It is an extremely serious matter and needs to be addressed in a serious way-- Jiujitsuguy ( talk) 16:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you've seen Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#Pseudoskepticism, but it seems like there's a developing consensus to unlock Pseudoskepticism (which you protected following a RFPP) now that there appears to be some fruitful discussion and more attention to the topic. Swing by and take a look. Cheers, — Scien tizzle 15:41, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello I see you issued me a warning?Could you be more specific why?Also there are several other editors that edit the same articles that I am. Have you issued a warning to them too?-- Shrike ( talk) 16:02, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I'm trying to write a BLP of author Fern Reiss (my draft is currently located here: User:WikiTome/Fern Reiss). This being one of my first BLPs and not being completely clear on all the rules, I was wondering if you might check it out and give me some feedback on what I should improve before it would be accepted. I'm worried it might sound a bit too promotional. I know you're probably pretty busy, so feel free to do this at your leisure, or not at all.
Thanks so much! WikiTome Talk 17:11, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

This rollback removal was a good call; curious as to whether Twinkle should be revoked as well given this major mistake yesterday (delinking "Patna" from 300+ articles via Twinkle with no clue how it came about). Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 21:26, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Hypothetically speaking (as in the rhetorical equivalent of "my friend has a problem..."), how does the four-warnings rule work in regard to repeat violators? For instance, if an editor has received several vandalism/disruptive warnings, and maybe even been previously blocked, does the next offense start the clock over at level 1? If so, what sort of time frame would indicate a start-over as opposed to a continuation of the count? Fat&Happy ( talk) 02:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
For someone that received the benefit of your leniency, User:NYyankees51 has surprisingly jumped back into editing the same sort of controversial articles that prompted his socking and subsequent block evasion in the first place. Instead of following your advice to take "the opportunity to become an upstanding member of the community" and his promise he "absolutely will work hard to gain the trust of the community" he seems to be surrounding himself with conflicts -- see: WP:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Repeated religious attacks by WikiManOne and his recent edit history. He certainly hasn't gained my trust...
I don't really have a horse in this race since I haven't edited any of the articles that he has, but if I had an inclination to, I think I'd avoid it since I know I'd be stepping on a can of worms. Maybe I'm wrong, but when I read his acceptance of your deal last month, I expected he would keep a low profile and edit Geography articles or work on the Great Backlog Drive or something else less controversial. Perhaps you could have a talk with him and maybe rein him in a little bit. Thanks. Mojoworker ( talk) 06:49, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
You have removed my rollback rights. I want to know which IP should I talk to? The user keeps changing his IP (some of them are 165.124.86.204, 165.124.98.189 , 165.124.98.61 etc. No repeat reverts are from the same IP. The point in question was added by User: Devanampriya. See his contributions. It is based on some consensus on the Indo-Greek article. I have done a few mistakes in the past like I removed some of the backlinks to the Patna article accidently. The rollback feature enabled me to undo these changes very quickly.
I feel you should have looked into these facts in a little bit more detail before revoking my rollback rights. Anyways, I am happy with your decision. Atleast now I won't have to try hard to keep Wikipedia pure. I can now just go away from all this. Boolyme बूलीमी Chat बोलो!! 09:00, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Well... not me specifically, but my underlying IP. I have no need of being blocked myself of course... but as I don't need to edit and am already quite intoxicated, so I could be blocked for a bit with no problem.
And importantly have computers lying around on this internet connection, with many drunk people shortly to arrive here, and one of them is a wiki vandal... it would be good to stop that. Heck you could just block the udnerlying IP not me if you want. Obviously I'm gonna do my best to stop any of that shit but pre emption is better :)
P.S. This may be the 3rd time now I've asked ya for a favour, cause you're a nice chap... if these are a nuisance please let me know!
P.P.S. You're obviously a brit... Where you based? I'm in 3 parts of England and 1 part of Scotland regularly (live in London), if any of them correspond we should have a pint some time ;)

Since your block of Special:Contributions/74.92.27.193 on the 21st of January, that IP has made 8 more disruptive edits, all reverted by bots or users. That IP was previously blocked on the 18th of November 2010. In all, the user has ignored 11 warnings or blockages to make 31 disruptive edits, all reverted by bots or users, and has made no constructive edits at all, other than a promise to not do it again, after which came the majority of vandalism: 26 more disruptive edits.

I was wondering, what do you look for in an admin candidate? I've seen you support RFA's I never would (Rami R; in which I went neutral), and oppose others that I would support. It cannot be length of service (I agree with you on this), edit count (also agree), or activity (I disagree here).
(By the way, I waited until after Rami R's RFA to ask you because I didn't want to be the asshat who badgered supporters into opposing ;). Reaper Eternal ( talk) 02:45, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I think regarding this discussion the user agrees to have the right attached to his account. Off2riorob ( talk) 22:36, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Your suspicion is justifiable, but I can explain. I have never had the page on my watchlist, but it is a subject which interests me. I read the article and thought it was good. I also thought that for a subject of such high interest, a high-quality article is important, and a GA review can do wonders for an article. With regards to your concerns, I guarantee I am committed enough. I honestly can't promise you that I am knowledgeable enough, but I'm currently studying politics and have done work experience in the Palace of Westminster – I let you make your own mind up!!

Hey,
I started a discussion at Template talk:Talkback#Styling regarding the change that (probably fairly) warranted this revert. We've got a few "user note" type templates right now which all used hand-hacked divs instead of centralised styling like most message boxes; IMO we should migrate them all to do so, either using {{ tmbox}} or a new design if (as suggested in that edit summary) there's general agreement that {{ tmbox}} is unsuitable.

Could you please take a look at
this discussion to rename
New York City Subway to New York City subway? I think the discussion has gotten out of hand. The requester is continuing to
beat a dead horse, and the 7 day discussion period is long over. His argument is basically that we should ignore the owner/operator's capitalization on
the logo used on the sides of the trains as well as the capitalization on
the official map and rename thousands of articles pages to lowercase because
WP:I don't like it. Thanks!

I think your archiving was sort of a sensible thing to do, although there really is room for continued discussion.

I was not going to second guess your decision to lift the ban early since it was done in the best of faith. However, I have requested that it be reimplemented for the full two months.

Hi HJ - I happened to notice a bit of revision deletion you were doing in the past little while that involved a highly inappropriate username. (Incidentally, good work, thank you for addressing that.) I'm not sure if you're aware, but oversighters have an ability to block/reblock accounts with the username suppressed so that it does not appear on edit summaries made by the account or in any logs (one still has to do some RD for sinebot things or some users' reversion summaries, and often the content is pretty awful too). Just one more tool in the project's arsenal, so please don't hesitate to ping the oversight list if you see that in the future. In this case, I've just done the reblock, but let me or another oversighter know if there's something else that needs to be done. Risker ( talk) 04:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello HJ, around a week ago I wrote an article about a book. The topic of the book was very sensitive, and I did my best to make sure I got it right. I asked administrator Ironholds to edit the article, while it still was in my user space, and remove any POV he'd see there, and only after this move it to the main space. Ironholds did as I asked. He also suggested a DYK hook that I ended up using. DYK hook was submitted and promoted on February 22. In a meantime the article was edited by a few users with a different editing background, but the article has never been tagged. Then on February 24 user:Gatoclass added their objection to the nomination. I would have not bothered you with that, if it were the first case user:Gatoclass objects DYK hooks on certain topics with no reason at all. One time they removed my DYK that was promoted by another administrator from a queue and were advised by Sanstein do not this again. There are dozen of similar examples of objecting valid DYK by user:Gatoclass(the differences could be presented by request).On February 26 user:Gatoclass wrote in DYK "I'm currently working on this article. I will leave a note here when I'm done.", but it was more than 2 days ago, and the user has never touched the article although they were active. I used to engage in a long discussions with that user on DYK nominations, but I would not like to do it anymore. Could you please give me an advise how to proceed? Thanks.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 15:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi HJ. I want to point something out to you. In the month that SD was topic banned, I believe there were at most, two AE actions in the Israel-Arab topic area. Upon your lifting of his sanction, in fact within a day of the lifting of his sanction, there were four! This is directly attributable to his involvement in the topic area where he brings the most aggressive battleground mentality as compared to any other editor. He's glued to his computer 24/7 and edits non-stop until in exhaustion, you just give up. I also would like for you to respond to this comment [3] It is an extremely serious matter and needs to be addressed in a serious way-- Jiujitsuguy ( talk) 16:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
