Hi,
I've cleaned up the White Cat SPI by moving everything to Access Denied. You're sure about this, right? I have received a hint by mail, but didn't look into it since I saw you change the tag.
Cheers,
Amalthea

No problem. He hadn't been blocked before, so 24 hours was the usual standard, and I didn't see anything egregious like hate speech or personal attacks which I usually adjust upwards.
Aside from that, did you see the AIV report? It was interesting. It was made by a brand new user ( Who.was.phone ( talk · contribs)) whose name is very similar to ( THEN WHO WAS PHONE? ( talk · contribs)) a longtime user and vandalfighter who suddenly left over two years ago. The account's sole edits were reverting this vandal today and yesterday.
What's going on here? Is TWWP returning? If you look at the userpage it seems so. Is this some sort of socking situation? It bears monitoring. Daniel Case ( talk) 14:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
I really do try to AGF and all that; but I am just a bit cynical about this one. I hope your good faith is requited properly. -- Orange Mike | Talk 15:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
I am sorry, sir, but you are incorrect. Punctuation marks such as commas and periods go inside of quotation marks. These are the only corrections that I have made. I fail to understand why it would be necessary to threaten me with being banned before one checked one's facts, and such corrections can hardly be considered "vandalism" at any rate, as I was only trying to be helpful.

Respectfully, John
Perhaps you do not remember him/her, but a month ago you blocked for 6 months the IP 67.70.153.125 ( talk · contribs). Today s/he returned as 67.70.152.52 ( talk · contribs), again giving blatant factual errors to articles ( Christopher Plummer and Charlie's Angels). The problem I see is that s/he has been doing this for months (at least March 67.70.154.4 ( talk · contribs)) and s/he won't stop until s/he is completely blocked or s/he's 40 years-old. What I found is that his IPs are statics for sometime and all begin with 67.70.15x.xxx. Is there any possibility of have this range blocked? Or what else can be done? Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 07:47, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Because of those concerns I am unwilling to place a range block for an extended time, but I will block the range for a brief period, and see if it helps. Please feel welcome to contact me again if necessary. JamesBWatson ( talk) 14:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Would it be possible to remove this edit from Guoguo12's talk page? I was also wondering if there was any chance of blocking the editor who made it. There must be strong policies for editors who try to discourage others from editing the encyclopedia. Ryan Vesey ( talk) 20:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Please note, that your block on "92.8.84.0/23" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.8.84.0/23) has blocked all IPs in a range. This is not advisable as it means hundreds of innocent people will be affected. Removing this block would surely be wise. H2005uk ( talk) 23:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC) ~
Hi James. While you are protecting Shutter Shades, the same sockpuppet/rotating IP is having his way with all things Bros related.

Hi James. I would appreciate your assistance in undeleting the article I wrote for "Resistance stretching" back in 2006. I am contacting you as the following information is now displayed when navigating to the article:

I have not updated the page since I first created it. So, it apparently became an advertisement over time. Or perhaps the way I originally wrote it was too advert like and it only got worse from then on out. Either way, I'd appreciate you restoring it so I can clean it up. How does this work?

With all due respect, I think we've both been around the block long enough to know that the ip history and warnings here do not likely reflect a transient IP, but rather a dedicated one. If it were transient, the new editor would ignore it -- no need to remove it; it only can help, and cannot hurt. You can respond here.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 18:50, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi James,
I respect your decision to delete the article ingold strems. But the information in the article was not of any advertising nature in fact it was encyclopedic. It was a simple small article telling about a small registered company in India. I believe the article fulfills all the condition of being included in the encyclopedia. As this company was registered in 2010, not much information is in media to be used as reference. I accept the article was previously was a bit kind of advertising but this time while writing the article are took good care of the condition laid by Wikipedia.
I understand wikipediya is not for advertising,There are 20 other ways of advertising.
I request you to please look at the article again. And if found up to the mark, please include in the main stream article.
Best regards,

Please explain how the lead of List of Inazuma Eleven episodes is an "unnecessary content fork" of Inazuma Eleven? Inazuma Eleven only briefly mentions an anime or manga series in passing, but none of the content of the is duplicated.

Thanks for the reply! Now I fully understand why my article "Ingold Streams" was deleted even this time. I was too involved in the promoting the my business.
Wikipedia is a great source of knowledge! I respect and appreciate all the Intelligent and Knowledgeable team of Wikipediya. Who are hardworking, Smart and of great Intellect. Great job!
People like me may spoil it by putting useless article with no real proof. And there are many millions of people crawling on globe. And i believe million put fake article on Wiki on daily basis. Your job is great!
I will put my article only when I have sufficient statistics to prove every line, and it will be of some relevance in society.
Keep on this beautiful work!

Don't get me wrong, I would have done the same thing and it happens all the time. An edit is reverted for being unsourced while nothing else on the page is sourced. In the end, I think it oftentimes comes down to whether or not an edit summary was used. Ryan Vesey ( talk) 08:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Ryan Vesey has recently asked for access to AWB; however, due to his limited experience and this recent incident, reasons which made me wary of granting him access to a tool that might create a massive mess if misused, I have declined his request; Rian has invited me to ask for your opinion, though, for you have extensively worked with him since the block and he feels you should be able to offer an opinion as to his fitness to handle the tool; so, if you wish, I'd welcome a comment from you here. Thanks and cheers. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:03, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I hope this request is worth your time. I'd like you to semi-protect "The Adventures of Blinky Bill" article. Some anonymous user is persistently expanding the summaries with pointless information and will not listen to reason about the various wiki policies and keeps hopping from IP address to IP address. Kindly notify me when appropriate action can be taken. Deltasim ( talk) 10:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Now that the articles have been split into three I think maybe the page protection can be removed from the main Blinky Bill page and should be placed into the episode list to prevent further page bloating and fruitless extra little details. Deltasim ( talk) 06:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC) Alert! "List of Blinky Bill Episodes" is under the attack of the anonymous user. It's a ripe time to protect the page. Deltasim ( talk) 18:56, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
I've tagged this page for POV and neutrality but I'm not sure if shouldn't have deleted it as an attack page. Some of it appears to be well sourced but the lead comes across a bit strong. Thoughts? -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:22, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Sir, I was the original author of the cited article. I recently examined it, and found that among extensive expansions (as expected in Wiki), there is a thread which appears to be clearly related to the work of a particular corporation.
Further researching the article history and UserTalk, I find that there was some controversy regarding the above, in 2010 and early 2011. The corporate editor was enjoined from making changes intended to make the article an advertisement for his services.
The article still retains a very substantial number of claims which are strictly related to that firm, and are not by any means in the nature of a concise definition of the term Master data management.
As the original author, and a practitioner in the field, I claim that the article began as a summary of papers in the subject by renowned, published authors, whose work I originally cited. Some of those citations have disappeared for unknown reasons.
I would like to further trim the text of the article to give that corporate editor's proprietary concepts due mention, without seeming to dominate the discussion. I would also like to avoid creating controversy, and therefore request guidance. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmausner ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Er, I don't understand what you did - now the original redirect ("Italian colonization of the Americas" -> "Thornton expedition"), which is a good and necessary redirect to have, is gone, and the history of this page is gone too so we cannot merge any of the content. I started writing this but then noticed you speedied it as a G4. Was it created by the same person and did it contain the same content? Because to me it looked well-researched and neutral, rather than the POV fork it was deleted as; I really thought it was just an accidental duplicate, and there seemed to be content worth merging.

Perhaps you do not remember him/her, but a month ago you blocked for 6 months the IP 67.70.153.125 ( talk · contribs). Today s/he returned as 67.70.152.52 ( talk · contribs), again giving blatant factual errors to articles ( Christopher Plummer and Charlie's Angels). The problem I see is that s/he has been doing this for months (at least March 67.70.154.4 ( talk · contribs)) and s/he won't stop until s/he is completely blocked or s/he's 40 years-old. What I found is that his IPs are statics for sometime and all begin with 67.70.15x.xxx. Is there any possibility of have this range blocked? Or what else can be done? Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 07:47, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Because of those concerns I am unwilling to place a range block for an extended time, but I will block the range for a brief period, and see if it helps. Please feel welcome to contact me again if necessary. JamesBWatson ( talk) 14:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Would it be possible to remove this edit from Guoguo12's talk page? I was also wondering if there was any chance of blocking the editor who made it. There must be strong policies for editors who try to discourage others from editing the encyclopedia. Ryan Vesey ( talk) 20:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Please note, that your block on "92.8.84.0/23" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.8.84.0/23) has blocked all IPs in a range. This is not advisable as it means hundreds of innocent people will be affected. Removing this block would surely be wise. H2005uk ( talk) 23:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC) ~
Hi James. While you are protecting Shutter Shades, the same sockpuppet/rotating IP is having his way with all things Bros related.

I have not updated the page since I first created it. So, it apparently became an advertisement over time. Or perhaps the way I originally wrote it was too advert like and it only got worse from then on out. Either way, I'd appreciate you restoring it so I can clean it up. How does this work?

With all due respect, I think we've both been around the block long enough to know that the ip history and warnings here do not likely reflect a transient IP, but rather a dedicated one. If it were transient, the new editor would ignore it -- no need to remove it; it only can help, and cannot hurt. You can respond here.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 18:50, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi James,
I respect your decision to delete the article ingold strems. But the information in the article was not of any advertising nature in fact it was encyclopedic. It was a simple small article telling about a small registered company in India. I believe the article fulfills all the condition of being included in the encyclopedia. As this company was registered in 2010, not much information is in media to be used as reference. I accept the article was previously was a bit kind of advertising but this time while writing the article are took good care of the condition laid by Wikipedia.
I understand wikipediya is not for advertising,There are 20 other ways of advertising.
I request you to please look at the article again. And if found up to the mark, please include in the main stream article.
Best regards,

I hope this request is worth your time. I'd like you to semi-protect "The Adventures of Blinky Bill" article.

Kindly notify me when appropriate action can be taken. Deltasim ( talk) 10:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Now that the articles have been split into three I think maybe the page protection can be removed from the main Blinky Bill page and should be placed into the episode list to prevent further page bloating and fruitless extra little details. Deltasim ( talk) 06:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC) Alert! "List of Blinky Bill Episodes" is under the attack of the anonymous user. It's a ripe time to protect the page.

Sir, I was the original author of the cited article. I recently examined it, and found that among extensive expansions (as expected in Wiki), there is a thread which appears to be clearly related to the work of a particular corporation.
Further researching the article history and UserTalk, I find that there was some controversy regarding the above, in 2010 and early 2011. The corporate editor was enjoined from making changes intended to make the article an advertisement for his services.
The article still retains a very substantial number of claims which are strictly related to that firm, and are not by any means in the nature of a concise definition of the term Master data management.
As the original author, and a practitioner in the field, I claim that the article began as a summary of papers in the subject by renowned, published authors, whose work I originally cited. Some of those citations have disappeared for unknown reasons.
I would like to further trim the text of the article to give that corporate editor's proprietary concepts due mention, without seeming to dominate the discussion. I would also like to avoid creating controversy, and therefore request guidance. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmausner ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Er, I don't understand what you did - now the original redirect ("Italian colonization of the Americas" -> "Thornton expedition"), which is a good and necessary redirect to have, is gone, and the history of this page is gone too so we cannot merge any of the content. I started writing this but then noticed you speedied it as a G4. Was it created by the same person and did it contain the same content? Because to me it looked well-researched and neutral, rather than the POV fork it was deleted as; I really thought it was just an accidental duplicate, and there seemed to be content worth merging.
