Happy New Year. I've got a bot/ vandal problem in another wiki media project, www.femaanswers.org. Apparent spam bot registers new user for each edit, but auto blocking not working. My understanding how to block this activity is insufficient. I've poked around to determine how to do an IP Check over at my site, without success. I thought I'd ask someone who knows? Any help appreciated. Cheers. Castellanet ( talk) 21:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
You're right, and I shouldn't edit via three browser windows. I've restored it to the blanked version. Thanks for the heads up. Pedro : Chat 22:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

After my bot is done redirecting all the cities in the state I usually go back and look at all the broken redirects and fix them - I don't think I should have been blocked. Ohmpandya ( Talk) 18:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Sure [1] Not eveything is about AWB the discussion is around the middle. Ohmpandya ( Talk) 18:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Or you can read the whole thing to find it... Ohmpandya ( Talk) 18:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
It sounded OK to me to create the redirects, but I had to stress not to create ones to non-existent pages because yes, that would be a waste. Obviously, I didn't realize he was going to create so many so fast (at least three thousand in just the past week or so!). If they all need to be deleted, I can do that. jj137 ♠ 22:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

If I am in an edit war it is only with user:JdeJ who is in an edit war with me and I hope he has been warned about edit warring too. Can you please step in to mediate the article France. Signsolid ( talk) 17:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I've taken the matter to the France talk page but could do with some third party intervention to see that a neutral POV is taken. Signsolid ( talk) 17:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
User:JdeJ is obviously an experienced user who knows how to make sure his opinion sticks over others and is blotting out my opinion with his experience. Signsolid ( talk) 17:59, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
User:JdeJ has found 2 or 3 newspaper article syaing the UK's economy fell behind that of France's and he gone through Wikipedia like a tornado changing rankings and figures and throwing out IMF, World Bank, and CIA factbook figures and rankings, which were the gold standard of rankings and people didn't dispute over figures and rankings. Signsolid ( talk) 18:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
That's even more weird. It's working for me now... I suppose it's possible that it was a cached result. Sorry for taking up some of your time. -- StuartGilbert ( talk) 10:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi - yeah, I realise it wasn't quite per blocking policy, but I've left a note under the unblock explaining the circumstances and saying that I don't have a problem with unblock if that's what the reviewing admin thinks. BLACKKITE 11:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I highly suggest the checkuser clerks give some serious thought to the process used to validate whether or not someone is a sockpuppet. The evidence given was suspect at best, considering that I am an established user and it should be clear if you can see my IP that I have been editing from the same two or three IP's for months now (I have static IP's at all of my locations), with an occasional edit from somewhere else. I am not participating in the discussion because it is cyclical and a rehash of what was talked about earlier.
The level of insulted I feel by this is not quite measurable at this moment, but rest assured that it high. At least you removed the block, but it should never have been given in the first place. I will be lodging a complaint because of this. Justinm1978 ( talk) 14:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Please consider extending your block due to this egregious personal attack. Thanks! — Jeff G. ( talk| contribs) 11:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting vandalism to my user talk page. As you probably know very well, the mere act of fighting vandals occasionally makes them take an interest in us. When that happens, it's nice to see that fellow Wikipedians are looking out for each other. Doczilla ( talk) 22:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there Lucas, this is VASCO from Portugal,
About my edits to NABIL BAHA, which you reverted, i say that everything is OK now, i just wanted to make some adjustments as to the exact dates in which he played in which team, no unconstructive feeling there, i presume.
As to the best vandalism on a talkpage, you are 100% right man, can't compete with that piece of horse manure, did not even have the guts to sign. Oh well, what are you gonna do?

Hi. I rewrote the Thermal Wind article. The old article was a stub, and a bad one at that. It was incoherent, factually incorrect at times and lacked visuals. I made new visuals, took the existing material and rewrote it so that it reads well and is accurate. I forgot to log in before editing the article, you can view the original (with the history of revisions) on my userpage at nedtheprotist.

Thanks for uploading Image:Skype logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 05:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

You should be more careful about alleging vandalism. In this case, Wikipedia was using, without authorization, an image that belongs to me. You owe me an apology. I have spent a great deal of time and money building the Early Office Museum web site from which this image was taken. It is possible, of course, that the original unauthorized download was made by someone different from the person who uploaded it to Wikipedia. I am looking into that.
