Hi, please take a look at my editrequest {{ IPAsym}} here. - DePiep ( talk) 23:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Well, to expand my knowledge in this. Is it true that an article, protected through cascade (so fully protected) cannot be edited at all, not even via admin tools & {{ editprotect}}? (unless the cascade source protection is lifted)? - DePiep ( talk) 08:56, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar |
Your idea for a bot to monitor the length of evidence on ArbCom cases was a brilliant idea!! Thank you for thinking of it and putting into action so quickly. FloNight ♥♥♥♥ 19:13, 4 July 2011 (UTC) |
Aesthetically not very pleasing, double entries with too many spaces and should all be done in one edit (if at all). Also if a clerk has permitted between 1500 and 2000 words for some participants, that should be set as an extra parameter. Thanks, Mathsci ( talk) 06:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You folks have really made yourselves look stupid. It is perfectly obvious that BarkingMoon is a returning user who is well-acquainted with Giacomo, as evidenced by the verbal shots he took at him. That is not a "clean start", it's sockpuppetry, and you're letting him get away with it on some dubious "privacy" grounds. Between this kind of thing, and the arbcom fiasco, the "leaders" of wikipedia are looking like the Keystone Kops these days. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:35, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the block review and CU on TGilmour ( talk · contribs). Another apparent sock just turned up, Claptonn ( talk · contribs), and if the pattern of the previous socks is any indication, the next one will come soon. Is a range block or so an option here? Ucucha 12:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello Hersfold, Frangfl had asked for a review of their autoblock, and you had suggested that checkuser evidence needed to be examined before accepting or denying the request. I had put the unblock on hold but failed to follow up. Would you have a chance to look at the evidence? I don't see that the editor has been at all disruptive with their contributions so far. Thank you. -- Atama 頭 16:27, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

An unblock request at User talk:JelvinJS7 has now been on hold for 15 days. It looks to me as though it should be declined, as the user is not blocked, and has not made any useful response to requests for clarification. Perhaps you can look back at it. JamesBWatson ( talk) 13:46, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Are you trying to rename yourself? Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 00:26, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Hersfold, I'm here regarding the the block that you implemented on Abhishek191288. The relationale you provided was "for edit warring on Padmanabhanagar". I think your action is quite heavy, because Abhi reverted unexplained blanking of the page by an IP user, who instead made it a redirect. Doesn't that constitute a vandal edit and so Abhi's actions were simply fighting vandalism? The IP user seemed to have moved the page without consensus/discussion. Even on Banashankari, Bangalore the IP simply did not include the information previously present on Padmanabhanagar, and even added some "info" that are unsourced and possibly are OR. I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure I'm right. Sp33dyphil " Ad astra" 01:54, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hersfold. Here are the questions I intend to pose at your RfB which I have drawn from my questions at Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Maxim 2. Opposes have mainly been about your lack of activity at Wikipedia. I hope these questions will provide insights about how you will close RfAs. I have posted the questions here, instead of at your RfB, because the questions will take some time to answer. It would be unfair to place immediately all these questions on your RfB because participants may have a negative view of you if the questions were to be left unanswered for several hours. When you finish answering these questions, please copy them to your RfB. I am interested to hear your thoughts about these questions. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 18:42, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Hersfold- Really appreciated your genuine desire to help and guidance. I don't know where things took an altered course but Iam certain I just ruined the Robina Suwol page. Given my lousy track record, in spite of your help. I will cease editing, if you can assist or direct me on how to fix it. Finally, I would like to share that your swift response to my inquiry and request for help and your knowledge of proper protocol and process for Wikipedia makes you more than deserving for any position you are seeking or being considered. Thanks Hersfold, I can admit that I am unqualified to edit, and just wish to undue any harm I may have done to an individual who has done such great work.

Welcome to the team. I name-dropped you on BN. There's a sparsely-used mailing list - it's almost exclusively for RTV stuff that can't be discussed onwiki for privacy reasons. If you'd like to join it, you're welcome, but there's no compulsion. Other Crats have, in the past, opted not to, and there's enough of us on there (see the chart on WP:CRAT) to handle the meagre amount of traffic.

Err...could you tell me why did you block this user? Going through your contributions, I don't seem to witness any sockpuppet investigation case either. Sorry if this question annoys you, as it's none of my business really, but I was just a bit curious (having engaged in dialogue and interacted numerous times with this user over the past few days, found this a bit unexpected).

Thank you for your help on the Robina Suwol page and for fixing what I had unintentionally ruined. I should have contacted you directly, but didnt want to keep bothering you. I want to avoid errors and follow protocol. I posted request for help specific to citations, and now citations have been removed and the article appears to have been significantly edited. I could not locate name of recent editor or would have contacted them directly and not bothered you. Can this be fixed?Thanks
Hi Hersfold, please see Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#Evidence_length. Thanks, -- J N 466 10:57, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi , I have been laying out some proposals on the Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Cirt and Jayen466/Workshop - as you likely can see, I have never posted to a workshop page before. Please let me know if I have miss-posted or violated anything, and I will gladly correct it, thanks. Off2riorob ( talk) 15:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
I will without question defer to your greater expertise, in that you have checkuser option and I do not (although in my primary task of defending the wiki it would unquestionably be useful to me). This user is an occasional editor with an editing history extending back over several years; he clearly saw a block message, and I assumed it was a rangeblock; his history shows a previous capture by one. He did specifically ask for an IPexemption, which I venture to suggest indicates a specific need. He is clearly not a vandal, at least not in this current account. I saw no harm in granting an IPBE, but please feel free to point out any harm you feel I have done.-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 20:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Robina Suwol Page Hersfold the page has fallen apart. Can you assist.I don't know or have any connection to Robina Suwol. Just know she's done good work to protect school kids. Ironic, thought I would help and add references. Page is really worse than when tried to help. Orange Mike questioned the credibility and unbiased writing of editors. There is no basis fre such a comment since the page cites references.Feeling like recent blast of comments and edits are seeking to discredit the individual and their work.Suggestions?

For your orientation, Wikipedia:Help desk#Need to have a comment I made redacted due to the threat of legal action involves an alleged legal threat apparently coming from a user you once listed in a checkuser report. The alleged threat was not directed at you and the threat sounds silly to me but I'm not a lawyer. PrimeHunter ( talk) 01:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, a few days ago you intervened on a "sockpuppet" investigation. During that, it was stated that the creator of the article Knight Communications, LTD (UK) had been using the same IP as I and therefore was likely to be a "sockpuppet."
Please, if you would be so kind, take a moment to recheck the information. I do not know how OpenZone allocates their IPs but can assure you User:AmieRoseLong and myself are two completely unrelated people; however, I did speak to John Laird, Baron Laird and he has confirmed that there was a person by the name of Amie Long at the Parliamentary investigation where Knight Communications was queried in June.
Thank you AKnight2B ( talk) 22:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
I've replied on the SPI page. It's a little difficult for me to do much from here - my internet connection has been " shaped", and by the time it has lifted, I'll have left for Wikimania. Orderinchaos 01:27, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Hersfold, can I ask your opinion on whether Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GorillaWarfare should have been deleted? G7 doesn't seem to be appropriate, and I'm not sure about allowing administrators to delete mistaken SPIs they've initiated. -- Lear's Fool 03:54, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
I have sent you an email about the SPI report, containing information which I cannot disclose on wikipedia. Since apparently you don;t have access to data on accounts blocked in early April, I have sent an email to checkusers on ArbCom who are familiar with the issues of long term wikihounding and outing by the sockpuppets of A.K.Nole. Perhaps you were also unaware of separate very recent issues of outing by Mikemikev where outing occurred in two sockpuppet usernames and by an IP on ANI. These were removed by various checkusers and oversighters (Fred Bauder and Casliber, amongst others) In this case--in particular the three recently blocked accounts of A.K.Nole (Holding Ray, Zarboublian, Julian Birdbath) in late March and early April--Julian Birdbath was also involved in a different kind of outing, also dealt with by ArbCom and Shell Kinney. Thanks, Mathsci ( talk) 05:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
I proposed what I did because we appear to be deadlocked on whether not to have an indef block. If you can get the support for the indef block to stick, go right ahead. If not, I'd get on board my suggestion...as I outline on WP:ANI, he's bound to sock or violate his terms eventually, and that'll give you your indef block Purpleback pack 89≈≈≈≈ 22:29, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

of conveying to the Arbitration Committee my personal thanks for their recent decision in my regard? I hope they will not have any further occasion to see my mug around, except if by happenchance they stumble across one of the pages I will edit towards the ends of an encyclopedia. Thanks Nishidani ( talk) 18:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
I've seen these guys (or this guy, more likely) before, but I can't put my finger on it. I don't suppose you can shed any light on it? Congrats on the RfB, btw, I'm sure you'll make a fine 'crat. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Err...could you tell me why did you block this user? Going through your contributions, I don't seem to witness any sockpuppet investigation case either. Sorry if this question annoys you, as it's none of my business really, but I was just a bit curious (having engaged in dialogue and interacted numerous times with this user over the past few days, found this a bit unexpected).

Kinda interesting how AlDafna picked exactly the day checkuser data expired to claim innocence... -- jpgordon ::==( o ) 16:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your help on the Robina Suwol page and for fixing what I had unintentionally ruined. I should have contacted you directly, but didnt want to keep bothering you. I want to avoid errors and follow protocol. I posted request for help specific to citations, and now citations have been removed and the article appears to have been significantly edited. I could not locate name of recent editor or would have contacted them directly and not bothered you. Can this be fixed?Thanks
Hi Hersfold, please see Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#Evidence_length. Thanks, -- J N 466 10:57, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi , I have been laying out some proposals on the Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Cirt and Jayen466/Workshop - as you likely can see, I have never posted to a workshop page before. Please let me know if I have miss-posted or violated anything, and I will gladly correct it, thanks. Off2riorob ( talk) 15:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
I will without question defer to your greater expertise, in that you have checkuser option and I do not (although in my primary task of defending the wiki it would unquestionably be useful to me). This user is an occasional editor with an editing history extending back over several years; he clearly saw a block message, and I assumed it was a rangeblock; his history shows a previous capture by one. He did specifically ask for an IPexemption, which I venture to suggest indicates a specific need. He is clearly not a vandal, at least not in this current account. I saw no harm in granting an IPBE, but please feel free to point out any harm you feel I have done.-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 20:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

DC MEETUP 21 is July 29! This meet up will involve Wikipedians from the area as well as Wiki-loving GLAM professionals. See you Friday! SarahStierch ( talk) 16:32, 25 July 2011 (UTC) |
Hersfold, could you add here that one of the cases has now in fact opened? I don't see that noted anywhere on the page. Thanks. -- J N 466 15:17, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Re: Robina Suwol Page Hersfold the page has fallen apart. Can you assist.I don't know or have any connection to Robina Suwol. Just know she's done good work to protect school kids. Ironic, thought I would help and add references. Page is really worse than when tried to help. Orange Mike questioned the credibility and unbiased writing of editors. There is no basis fre such a comment since the page cites references.Feeling like recent blast of comments and edits are seeking to discredit the individual and their work.Suggestions?

On Saturday, August 6, the National Archives is hosting a Wikipedia meetup, backstage pass tour, and edit-a-thon in College Park, Maryland. Meet staff and fellow Wikipedians, go behind the scenes at the National Archives, help digitize documents, and edit together! Dominic· t 21:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC) |
For your orientation, Wikipedia:Help desk#Need to have a comment I made redacted due to the threat of legal action involves an alleged legal threat apparently coming from a user you once listed in a checkuser report. The alleged threat was not directed at you and the threat sounds silly to me but I'm not a lawyer. PrimeHunter ( talk) 01:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, a few days ago you intervened on a "sockpuppet" investigation. During that, it was stated that the creator of the article Knight Communications, LTD (UK) had been using the same IP as I and therefore was likely to be a "sockpuppet."
Please, if you would be so kind, take a moment to recheck the information. I do not know how OpenZone allocates their IPs but can assure you User:AmieRoseLong and myself are two completely unrelated people; however, I did speak to John Laird, Baron Laird and he has confirmed that there was a person by the name of Amie Long at the Parliamentary investigation where Knight Communications was queried in June.
Thank you AKnight2B ( talk) 22:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
I've replied on the SPI page. It's a little difficult for me to do much from here - my internet connection has been " shaped", and by the time it has lifted, I'll have left for Wikimania. Orderinchaos 01:27, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Hersfold, can I ask your opinion on whether Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GorillaWarfare should have been deleted? G7 doesn't seem to be appropriate, and I'm not sure about allowing administrators to delete mistaken SPIs they've initiated. -- Lear's Fool 03:54, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
I have sent you an email about the SPI report, containing information which I cannot disclose on wikipedia. Since apparently you don;t have access to data on accounts blocked in early April, I have sent an email to checkusers on ArbCom who are familiar with the issues of long term wikihounding and outing by the sockpuppets of A.K.Nole. Perhaps you were also unaware of separate very recent issues of outing by Mikemikev where outing occurred in two sockpuppet usernames and by an IP on ANI. These were removed by various checkusers and oversighters (Fred Bauder and Casliber, amongst others) In this case--in particular the three recently blocked accounts of A.K.Nole (Holding Ray, Zarboublian, Julian Birdbath) in late March and early April--Julian Birdbath was also involved in a different kind of outing, also dealt with by ArbCom and Shell Kinney. Thanks, Mathsci ( talk) 05:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
I proposed what I did because we appear to be deadlocked on whether not to have an indef block. If you can get the support for the indef block to stick, go right ahead. If not, I'd get on board my suggestion...as I outline on WP:ANI, he's bound to sock or violate his terms eventually, and that'll give you your indef block Purpleback pack 89≈≈≈≈ 22:29, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
