the original joke was from Scotland, and said "Why do people write Fuck the Pope on toilet walls? Because they can't be bothered to write "Fuck the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland". How people cannot see that as a joke, especially when US language does not say "toilet" but "bathroom" or whatever, just totally defeats me, and I deliberately left it as "toilet", I did choose whether to say "bathroom" or whatever. It is ridiculous, really. We do have General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. I am only checking via this comment, but I imagine we have an article on Fuck the Pope as well.

Thank-you for the Advice. I was talking about the Chazz Miller page, I will edit this to make it better.
I really want to make that page nice for the people of Detroit. I will definitely check out,

I contacted the director of the charles h wright museum in detroit and Chazz Miller is a notable person and he started the Mural Movement in Detroit, but that aside Eliza Howell Park How do I prove that Chazz is notable? Do I have to create a page for his Non profits, Artist Village and Detroit Public Art Workz to give him validity?

Another thank you from me. I plan to consider all of your advice and not edit for at least 48 more hours to fully absorb it. I have positive feelings towards you but cannot say that is true about Yamla, who wrote some very threatening words.

Hi Ivanvector- just seeking clarification. Should I have opened a separate case here? I wasn't intentionally trying to link Vjm to the StylesClash case, but I noticed some weird connections (as detailed in the section "Unrelated SPI case?"), so I sought input from users familiar w/ Vjm at my talk page before submitting evidence. Another user encouraged me to reopen the StylesClash case rather than opening a new one. Levdr1lp / talk 14:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ivanvector, I just saw the news in the Spanish media on the death of Hugh Thomas, yesterday 6 May. I'm fixing the article in es.wiki and just added his death in this wiki.

I'm a little confused by your close on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reem (singer). The AfD was originally closed by me, and then taken to DRV, and then the decision was made to relist it so that a discussion about newly found sources could take place. However, it appears that the relisted discussion had only been open for about 24 hours before you closed it. Shouldn't the relisted discussion remain open for 7 days before being closed? ‑Scottywong | gossip _ 02:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to drop in like that, but I noticed that some the protection requests you tag as declined do not archive automatically; I think this is due to the fact that you do not use the RFPP administrator notation templates provided on the page.

Hi Greg, what User:Terabar has been trying to convey has merits. At least this [5] makes sense. These users are part of a specialized IT team [6] who were failed once [7] and have been editing from a particular POV. Clearly WP:NOTHERE. Thank you. -- ProudIndian007 ( talk) 07:56, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
Despite your warning [8], Terabar did it again [9] ("Capitals00 and D4iNa4 are sockpuppets as they are continuously reverting other editors"), with other technically false claims, "You were the one who once blocked him", though I never had block from Bbb23.
Of course I see this to be a bigger mess, apart from the "government conspiracy" section above this one, a new user has popped out of nowhere, to support these same allegations of Terabar, and edit war where Terabar edit warred last time, despite another admin told him he is entirely wrong. [10] [11] I mentioned you on the SPI too. Capitals00 ( talk) 09:42, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Greetings User: Ivanvector ! I don't have any enmity with you so please abandon any negative thoughts if you have any towards me. As Drivarum mentioned that these two accounts are escaping 3RR by using two ids. There is another possible evidence I have collected. See how Capitals nominated an article for deletion [15] and then D4iNa4 voted for delete [16]. Isn't this argument enough that these both are sockpuppets? Why not check compare tool where they support each other in order to escape 3RR? And how would Capitals know that he shared Ip address with Rzvas? yes, I am repeating that because I haven't got the answer. Please note that I am not alleging but I am just suspicious.

Sir, I got it regarding the IP connection. I won't bring it.

Hi Ivanvector - You recently blocked 107.77.206.36 for block evasion. Can you take a look at the edits made by 71.11.137.150? Hmlarson ( talk) 17:40, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello how are you?
I did some editing on the Spanish page of the film Arise from Darkness, and I did not find its version in English, what I found is that the article has a deletion history.
I would like to know if I can do an exact translation of the Spanish version, and if so, if you think that it is best to propose it as a draft for an administrator to review, or if you can review it directly.
It would be my first edit in english Wikipedia.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2017).
Hey Ivanvector! As yofor probably know, I'm trying to retain my retirement since ... I really need to. Though I am committed to doing my retirement, I still care about the whole aspect of Wikipedia's existence, as well as it being run properly without malice, but at this point in my life, I can't dedicate virtually any time to Wikipedia. Anyways, with that being said...
I think you may be able to help out with something I discovered ... happening again ... after I "went dark" for a bit. There's a sockmaster I have dealt with quite a bit in the past who originally used the account User:ArthurRebelnatico. I used to deal with him rather frequently via their SPI case page. Anyways, I just discovered that they are active again. When I was dealing with them before, they would create account names that were variations of certain words ... which can be found in their SPI case archives. Their targets of pages they edit are related to Brazillian pop music or artists, usually related in some fashion to Rebeldes. A rather easy giveaway that it is them editing is either an editor of related pages performing several edits in succession, usually beginning with an edit that either removes or adds at least 1 kilobyte to the page. However, as of late, it seems that they have been using only unregistered accounts, editing as an anon using an IP. It seems that the edit from a device on either the same network or closely related networks: All of the IPs I've seen them edit from start with either "179.108.48.###" or "179.108.50.###". In fact, if you see the two edits I performed prior to this one, you will see that I reverted some of their edits: [21] and [22].
Anyways, my point is that there may be enough information here to validate a range block, but I'm not sure: there may be too much collateral damage due to false positives. Either way, if that may be true, it may be necessary to pending changes protect or semi-protect the pages they frequent, but I'm not sure. (Their SPI archives has a nice list of pages they frequent.) So, im hoping you can assist with this matter in one way or another since ... I cannot spend and really do not have the time or capacity to deal with Wikipedia matters in the manner you are probably accustomed with me being/having in the past. Anyways, hope all is well, and as they say ... Cheers! Steel1943 ( talk) 22:38, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I'm asking you specifically as an uninvolved editor who seems to have their head screwed on to take a look at Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Pentecost. Each year Pentecost goes on the main page when it is celebrated (this year within 24 hours) and I am concerned about a spate of recent edits. I may be over-reacting. I just want outside opinions. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 00:29, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
The sockpuppet investigations for Yaysmay15 has been backlogged with two of my latest reports I added, involving IPs. I created a LTA entry for Yaysmay15 for reference on any disruptive activity involving that user, which started as "Vince daryl falcunitin", that changed to the main account, "Yaysmay15", and the former is changed to a sleeper account from June 2016. I have reverted edits by those IPs listed at the reports and flagged the two as IP sockpuppets, but no action has been taken. Can you please have a look at those reports, and apply the possible remedies if possible?-- TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 04:40, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello, have you seen the query I made to you above, about the possibility of translating the page Arise of Darkness from Spanish to English? As I said, I saw that the English version was deleted by you, so I want to consult with an editor who is aware of the case, to see if it is possible to do that translation. Can you help me with your opinion on how to proceed, or tell me who I should consult with? Thank you!-- Androveritas ( talk) 03:37, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi,Thanks for the reply. Do not worry, there's no problem. Ivanvector: Once the translation is in my sandbox, can I contact you to review it or do you prefer to put the "{subst:submit}" command in the article?
All references to the article are in English. Can you check the references and tell me if you think you should have some additional references?
Thank you in advance.
Regards. -- Androveritas ( talk) 00:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ivan. Hoping you're doing great. I wrote the draft translation in my sandbox. User:Androveritas/sandboxI'll thank you, take a look. I am grateful in advance. Stay tuned. Greetings.-- Androveritas ( talk) 03:59, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm not at all happy with what's been going on with this user since he was unblocked. He's been edit-warring at least twice in just a month. I'm sure he would say that UW Dawgs is hounding and provoking him. I have no idea whether that's so, but even if it is, it doesn't excuse Edday's behavior, especially given the promise in his unblock requests not to use multiple accounts or edit-war again. If he feels that UW Dawgs is wrong and is violating policy, then he should seek sanctions against him, not edit-war himself. What's your view?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:40, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Here is my first attempt to add that I am dyslexic to my user page [3], here is my ANI launch [4], the next day. So can youi please remove this, and explain to Hijiri88 why. Slatersteven ( talk) 16:10, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
This (by the way) was the comment I reopened the ANI to reply to, not Mjorpants last comment (and this was added after his last comment). Slatersteven ( talk) 16:19, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector- just seeking clarification. Should I have opened a separate case here? I wasn't intentionally trying to link Vjm to the StylesClash case, but I noticed some weird connections (as detailed in the section "Unrelated SPI case?"), so I sought input from users familiar w/ Vjm at my talk page before submitting evidence. Another user encouraged me to reopen the StylesClash case rather than opening a new one. Levdr1lp / talk 14:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ivanvector, I just saw the news in the Spanish media on the death of Hugh Thomas, yesterday 6 May. I'm fixing the article in es.wiki and just added his death in this wiki. Maybe you can help edit the article since I don't know the template that goes on top of the page when someone died recently, plus I think the news could also be included on the cover page. Many thanks and regards, -- Maragm ( talk) 21:44, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm a little confused by your close on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reem (singer). The AfD was originally closed by me, and then taken to DRV, and then the decision was made to relist it so that a discussion about newly found sources could take place. However, it appears that the relisted discussion had only been open for about 24 hours before you closed it. Shouldn't the relisted discussion remain open for 7 days before being closed? ‑Scottywong | gossip _ 02:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to drop in like that, but I noticed that some the protection requests you tag as declined do not archive automatically; I think this is due to the fact that you do not use the RFPP administrator notation templates provided on the page. Just as a heads-up. Lectonar ( talk) 16:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Greg, what User:Terabar has been trying to convey has merits. At least this [5] makes sense. These users are part of a specialized IT team [6] who were failed once [7] and have been editing from a particular POV. Clearly WP:NOTHERE. Thank you. -- ProudIndian007 ( talk) 07:56, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
Despite your warning [8], Terabar did it again [9] ("Capitals00 and D4iNa4 are sockpuppets as they are continuously reverting other editors"), with other technically false claims, "You were the one who once blocked him", though I never had block from Bbb23.
Of course I see this to be a bigger mess, apart from the "government conspiracy" section above this one, a new user has popped out of nowhere, to support these same allegations of Terabar, and edit war where Terabar edit warred last time, despite another admin told him he is entirely wrong. [10] [11] I mentioned you on the SPI too. Capitals00 ( talk) 09:42, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Greetings User: Ivanvector ! I don't have any enmity with you so please abandon any negative thoughts if you have any towards me. As Drivarum mentioned that these two accounts are escaping 3RR by using two ids. There is another possible evidence I have collected. See how Capitals nominated an article for deletion [15] and then D4iNa4 voted for delete [16]. Isn't this argument enough that these both are sockpuppets? Why not check compare tool where they support each other in order to escape 3RR? And how would Capitals know that he shared Ip address with Rzvas? yes, I am repeating that because I haven't got the answer. Please note that I am not alleging but I am just suspicious.

Sir, I got it regarding the IP connection. I won't bring it. Can you please suggest me what is the best course of action when someone just remove our message from their own talk page without any response when they are discussing about me? Like my this message [17] was instantly removed [18] with no explanation. What are the rules for such personal conversations? Thanks in advance. Drivarum ( talk) 14:29, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector - You recently blocked 107.77.206.36 for block evasion. Can you take a look at the edits made by 71.11.137.150? Hmlarson ( talk) 17:40, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello how are you?
I did some editing on the Spanish page of the film Arise from Darkness, and I did not find its version in English, what I found is that the article has a deletion history.
I would like to know if I can do an exact translation of the Spanish version, and if so, if you think that it is best to propose it as a draft for an administrator to review, or if you can review it directly.
It would be my first edit in english Wikipedia.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Androveritas ( talk • contribs) 05:00, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Pings were not working at the moment [19] and I had pinged you on SPI and added something helpful [20] to the SPI. Now that Drivarum is blocked as sock of ProudIndian, do you agree with the connection? Capitals00 ( talk) 16:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey Ivanvector! As yofor probably know, I'm trying to retain my retirement since ... I really need to. Though I am committed to doing my retirement, I still care about the whole aspect of Wikipedia's existence, as well as it being run properly without malice, but at this point in my life, I can't dedicate virtually any time to Wikipedia. Anyways, with that being said...
I think you may be able to help out with something I discovered ... happening again ... after I "went dark" for a bit. There's a sockmaster I have dealt with quite a bit in the past who originally used the account User:ArthurRebelnatico. I used to deal with him rather frequently via their SPI case page. Anyways, I just discovered that they are active again. When I was dealing with them before, they would create account names that were variations of certain words ... which can be found in their SPI case archives. Their targets of pages they edit are related to Brazillian pop music or artists, usually related in some fashion to Rebeldes. A rather easy giveaway that it is them editing is either an editor of related pages performing several edits in succession, usually beginning with an edit that either removes or adds at least 1 kilobyte to the page. However, as of late, it seems that they have been using only unregistered accounts, editing as an anon using an IP. It seems that the edit from a device on either the same network or closely related networks: All of the IPs I've seen them edit from start with either "179.108.48.###" or "179.108.50.###". In fact, if you see the two edits I performed prior to this one, you will see that I reverted some of their edits: [21] and [22].
Anyways, my point is that there may be enough information here to validate a range block, but I'm not sure: there may be too much collateral damage due to false positives. Either way, if that may be true, it may be necessary to pending changes protect or semi-protect the pages they frequent, but I'm not sure. (Their SPI archives has a nice list of pages they frequent.) So, im hoping you can assist with this matter in one way or another since ... I cannot spend and really do not have the time or capacity to deal with Wikipedia matters in the manner you are probably accustomed with me being/having in the past. Anyways, hope all is well, and as they say ... Cheers! Steel1943 ( talk) 22:38, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I'm asking you specifically as an uninvolved editor who seems to have their head screwed on to take a look at Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Pentecost. Each year Pentecost goes on the main page when it is celebrated (this year within 24 hours) and I am concerned about a spate of recent edits. I may be over-reacting. I just want outside opinions. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 00:29, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
The sockpuppet investigations for Yaysmay15 has been backlogged with two of my latest reports I added, involving IPs. I created a LTA entry for Yaysmay15 for reference on any disruptive activity involving that user, which started as "Vince daryl falcunitin", that changed to the main account, "Yaysmay15", and the former is changed to a sleeper account from June 2016. I have reverted edits by those IPs listed at the reports and flagged the two as IP sockpuppets, but no action has been taken. Can you please have a look at those reports, and apply the possible remedies if possible?-- TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 04:40, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello, have you seen the query I made to you above, about the possibility of translating the page Arise of Darkness from Spanish to English? As I said, I saw that the English version was deleted by you, so I want to consult with an editor who is aware of the case, to see if it is possible to do that translation. Can you help me with your opinion on how to proceed, or tell me who I should consult with? Thank you!-- Androveritas ( talk) 03:37, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi,Thanks for the reply. Do not worry, there's no problem. Ivanvector: Once the translation is in my sandbox, can I contact you to review it or do you prefer to put the "{subst:submit}" command in the article?
All references to the article are in English. Can you check the references and tell me if you think you should have some additional references?
Thank you in advance.
Regards. -- Androveritas ( talk) 00:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ivan. Hoping you're doing great. I wrote the draft translation in my sandbox. User:Androveritas/sandboxI'll thank you, take a look. I am grateful in advance. Stay tuned. Greetings.-- Androveritas ( talk) 03:59, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm not at all happy with what's been going on with this user since he was unblocked. He's been edit-warring at least twice in just a month. I'm sure he would say that UW Dawgs is hounding and provoking him. I have no idea whether that's so, but even if it is, it doesn't excuse Edday's behavior, especially given the promise in his unblock requests not to use multiple accounts or edit-war again. If he feels that UW Dawgs is wrong and is violating policy, then he should seek sanctions against him, not edit-war himself. What's your view?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:40, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
