Hi! How are you? 24.160.241.190 02:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
You should have incremented the total number of vandalisms to 13 in his userbox. Talmage 04:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
This sockpuppet you have banned is back as Willie Peter [1]. He's been able to hoodwink a sympathetic admin, but is up to his old tricks. Propol has tagged him as a Hazelton sockpuppet [2], and he (true to form) has removed the tag from his page [3]. I'd appreciate your looking into this, as you previously blocked him [4]. His IP [5] is within the series of several Joehazelton socks. [6], and his disruptive edits, combativeness, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, ersatz literary references, and threats are the same as ever. Another Joehazelton parallel: the account, less than one week old, is (to quote you) "displaying a shocking familiarity with Wikipedia policies and norms." Thanks for any help you can provide. Eleemosynary 05:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
PS. I am not who you think...
Thats kinda freaky..... and how is he gonna outlaw wikipedia?!?!?!? Yamaka122 ...☑ 15:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Luna,
Some time ago you took down our posting for Thirdscreenfilmfestival.com. You said that we should not use Wikipedia as an advertising vehicle(we were not intending to do that, just inform). Recently, however, you have allowed a wiki for the TV/Internet show "On the Lot", which is the same principle as our festival. Now, is it Wikipedia's intention to allow high level productions to advertise on their site, only to turn around and call a small (we had over 1 million hits in October), website like ours an advertising ploy? I am failing to see what the difference is.
I would log in, but I think that my account was canceled when our posting was taken down.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated,

how do you get a page to show up when searched on Google?-- TTNJ 20:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
how often does their web crawler update the pages? yeah that is what i mean, like if i type in Albert Einstein on google, it will give me the link to the wikipedia page. I was just wondering if you had to have some sort of arangement or if google automatically shows all pages on wikipedia.-- TTNJ 21:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I am completely disturbed by the Anabolic steroid article on wikipedia. It is neither broad in content nor neutral in expression. More specifically, it seems controlled by a single editor who excludes important scholarship on the health risks and serious adverse effects of steroid abuse. This exclusion not only undermines the factual integrity of the article, but also presents a potentially dangerous representation of a serious health concern. I'm not sure exactly where to turn for help, though I have posted it for review under the GA section; is there anything that can be done to remove the 'ownership' this editor has taken over the article and the biased representation of it?

You mentioned your willingness to try to solve some issues between me and User:Yug by having a word with him, and I'm wondering if you're still willing.
Since he was blocked, he has adopted a policy of sarcastic, reactionary commentary regarding me. His latest weirdness is an "invisible" reply ( diff) to a comment I placed on his talk page regarding a recent post by him on the Talk:CJK strokes page ( diff).
All I'm trying to do is create an encyclopaedia here. As an admin, Yug really should know better than to behave the way he is. I really would just like for him to stick with the policies regarding posts: assume good faith, don't be a dick, stick to discussion of the article, and so on. All this nonsense about "not being allowed to do things" and "amateur knowledge" isn't productive. Exploding Boy 23:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Luna,
I am a registered user at Wikipedia, ES101... I have been posting links and checking on external links at Spylocked page. I have noticed that you have been in conversation with Mike1D who was earlier also being asked to stop spamming at wikipedia on that page.
Now if you see the talk page of spylocked you would see i have given a good explanation of why links to SpywareSignatures.com free removal tools is a good idea and other admins/mod or wiki agreed to it.
Please read this
Hello Otto, respecting Wikipedia's policies here are some points covering your querries with Spylocked Page.
I have been posting links to SpywareSignatures Tool which removes spylocked, THat tool really works well and is even being recommeded by MVPs in the One care and Microsoft Support forums.
Here you might want to see it
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1426598&SiteID=17
The page from where it is downloaded has more than 15K hits in last couple of months.
Moreover its a popular download on Download.com
http://www.download.com/Free-SpyLocked-Removal-Tool/3000-8022_4-10667426.html?tag=lst-0-1
This software is downloaded over 3000 times since 9th May. ( NOW ITS OVER 6000 )
I would suggest you to download this tool once and test it against spylocked as you did with CounterSpy.
I hope it helps.
Please let me know if the links i posted were SPAM, and i would quit posting.
Best Regards ES101
I have words with several mods here and explaind them the benifit of the free tool and all have agreed to it. Please let me know if you have any question about the tool.
Also let me tell you one more thing.
Also there is another link added frequestly that takes to xp-vista(dot)com which promotes SpyHunter which is a former rogue antispyware... it would ask you to download spyhunter but to remove anything you would need to pay $$..

Luna, I really need help with my checkuser request. I am struggling with how to do this properly. This person (user Qworty, not Geri Litton) is probably the sockpuppeter. He has a mammoth amount of sockpuppets on wikipedia and under Geri Litton's username, has published information about me on the "welfare: financial aid" page which would ONLY be known to him and which constitutes a serious invasion of my privacy. Should this request be a category "G," though? I know Qworty has vandalized under his username (see his history with user Alabamaboy's edits), and I have a list of his known and suspected socks. How do I put this on the checkuser request? Thanks, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mountainwriter ( talk • contribs) 1 July 2007.

Hello Luna Satin,
I was “Googling” Camilo Pombo and found this again:
“User talk:Luna Santin/Archive 27 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The profile for Camilo Pombo should be investigated because he is a criminal that is not being portayed as the real person that he is...”
Can you please explain to me why Google keeps this in, and not the one I sent you a couple of weeks ago? I don't really want to think that you are helping anyone that wants to hurt this guy, or any one else... are you?
Thank you,
Pretty Pettite
I apologize for allowing my opinions to get in the way while editing the September 11 "day of the year" page. I actually do stay fairly neutral, but for some reason, I "strayed" on this one...that is on me. For that, I am sorry. If you like, I will remove the posts in question or just strike them from the record.
Again, my apologizes and I will work so that it doesn't happen in the future. Take Care... NeutralHomer T: C 05:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Luna, why was the Joseph Rose page deleted? Was it unscholarly or something? I never actually saw it; Rose was a fairly influential 18th Century artisan and collaborated with Robert Adam, is he considered not important? If another page were added would it also be deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hippokrates ( talk • contribs) 3 July 2007.

Were added by a single user (TTN) at the rate of 13 a minute. Removing them as indiscriminately as they were added shouldn't be a blockable offense, if you ask me. - N 07:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Not at all! I was the one who'd originally proposed the user category for deletion, and it was through my userbox that I actually noticed it. (: Oc t ane [ improve me 04.07.07 1853 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know whether you even still want to be involved, but I'm becoming very frustrated by this user's ongoing issues with me.
I've responded to Yug's long list of accusations about me on his talk page. I haven't edited any of the Stroke order-related articles for several weeks. I've generally stayed away from Yug. Yet he continues to maintain a long page all about me with a link to the Arbitration Committee at the top that contains stuff that's more or less ancient history (including a link to a post some other user made about me in 2005 -- a user who was known for his tendentious style of discussion and who hasn't even edited Wikipedia at all for 19 months now), and a look at Yug's contribution history suggests that most of his energy over the last couple of weeks has been devoted to me.
The latest round of accusations seem to have been brought on by my suggestion that two closely related articles, Stroke order and Stroke (CJK character), be merged -- a proposal mind you, not an actual merge. There was almost no discussion of the merge, though it should be noted that there was at least one other support for the proposal.
What I would like at this point is for Yug to delete the page User:Yug/EB, to get back to work editing, and to stop devoting so much time to complaining about me and gathering "evidence" about me for whatever obscure reason. Given that I haven't made any edits at all to the relevant articles for several weeks (and no substantial edits for even longer than that), I can't understand this ongoing issue. Exploding Boy 22:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
"Withdraw"? Any person can edit any article on Wikipedia; expertise is not a prerequisite, only factual accuracy and verifiability. In addition, I've never used claims of expertise in regards to my edits: I've never once made reference to my credentials in support of changes I've made or proposed to any article. I don't understand Yug's problem, really. Instead of getting on with editing, he's rehashing and rehashing issues he's blown out of all proportion regarding articles I haven't even touched for weeks.
Indeed, it's ironic that Yug claims that I'm trying to "own" certain articles, when he's made it abundantly clear that he's trying to do exactly that. This is really just an extended temper tantrum that I strongly advise Yug to get under control. I've done all I can to diffuse the situation: I've stayed away from Yug. I've stopped editing the articles in question. Yug's behaviour is akin to stalking, and it's becoming harassment. Exploding Boy 16:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Speak for yourself. I have no need to control that or any other article. And I have no idea what "recent misleading content change proposal" you're talking about. Frankly, I'm beginning to think you're a little crazy, and will no longer be responding to you on this subject. Discuss my edits if I make any. Otherwise, leave me alone. Exploding Boy 18:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Luna, Image:Rhodesia dak3.jpg was deleted 14 days after I listed it at WP:PUI (per standard procedure). I'd like to quote the image description page in an RFAR.

Since you have indef-blocked all the sockpuppets of Artemisse ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), you should indef-block him as well.

I reported 82.204.47.120 for vandalism, and I see you have blocked him. After looking over Interracial pornography's talk page and reading the article itself, I think his removals might have been legitimate and not against the semi-consensus already expressed. Perhaps you would consider unblocking him. Talmage 05:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

You beat me to the block. But I noticed that you blocked for 31 hours.

Normally I would request such moves at WP:RM, but could you simply move Dracula (disambiguation) to Dracula and Kankuro (disambiguation) to Kankuro? Both redirect to their disambiguation pages respectfully and I don't think such moves are major enough to request. You could say the reason to do this is "superfluous title". Thanks. Lord Sesshomaru
Feel free to unblock Thomasmc14 ( talk · contribs) or reduce the block to a week (as suggested by the user himself).

Hi. I noticed you're listed at Wikipedia:Changing_username/Assistance and seem to be fairly active, so I wonder if you could give advice. I'm User:AnonEMouse, a reasonably experienced and somewhat active administrator, and have, to my surprise, noticed the existence of User:AnonEMousse, who actually predates my account, but has no edits. I don't know much about Wikipedia:Doppelganger accounts and Wikipedia:Usurpation but hope you do. Would you advise I ask for an usurpation and to make that a doppelganger, to avoid any potential for confusion or not? -- AnonEMouse (squeak) 12:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
This is an odd one. The only IPs this editor (who you unblocked recently) has used are otherwise all full of sockpuppets of William Henry Harrison (he lists most of them on his talk page). There have been gaps as small as 15 minutes, on numerous occasions, between Southern Texas and various of the socks, on one IP. And another IP is even more dramatic. Take a look at the series of anonymous edits to Bianca Beauchamp, starting here. In between the edits at 0:08 and 0:13 comes this edit, from the same IP.
"Harrison" has yanked us before, and might well be continuing to. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 20:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
You've listed four socks that I've seen, but I can list more. Is it allowed to add to the list you've composed? Acalamari 22:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Back at Uncontroversial moves, I asked for two simple moves and noticed that Dracula was redirected to the novel by Reginmund and the Kankuro case remained unsolved. Which is a more popular search for "Dracula": the story or the character? A google test suggests the character. And of the remaining, Kankuro? Lord Sesshomaru
Edwin rose ( talk · contribs) isn't getting it - he just created his user page again and has contributed nil to the encyclopedia.

Hello Luna Santin,
You left some comments here about User:Rob right's apparent use as a single purpose sockpuppet account, and abuse of vandalism warnings. I wasn't aware of that incident report, and actually raised my concerns here, where I outline why I now believe him to be a disruptive/bad faith/POV editor, with little chance of changing his ways.
I've repeated called for discussions and suggested compromises to a content dispute, and remained dignified and polite with this user (in his several guises). However, following your suspension, he's editting as an IP ( User:79.73.36.212) and just not acknowledging the consensus against him and calls for debate.
Per the reasons I outline at the link I've provided above, I think there's little hope of assuming good faith here, as his desire to promote his point of view is focussed and is spread to other webspaces. Can you advise on how to best tackle this, as I'd like to do this by the book. Sorry for the inconveinence, Jza84 00:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome. I don't plan on doing any editing, just looking for pics and information for my projects at work. I feel uncomfortable editing someone else's work when I am sure they have done quite a bit to put down that information. Again, thank you for the nice welcome. -- Tigerlilly 13:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Wikililogirl
Hi, (sorry i speak badly english)
For that, sorry but you are mistaken, it's false : Iam from french wiki and i particulary contribuate to algerian articles, and when i see Miriam83's vandalism on Algeria and Kabylie' pages in this wiki, i reverted his modifications. But iam not Miriam83, see my others contributions. My IP is always : 89.69.230.***.

This apparently legitimate user was autoblocked when I blocked User:Thy true power. The connection is apparently User talk:24.4.25.168, an IP you described as non-dynamic and non-shared. I'm not well-versed enough in the ways of IP's to determine if this means that User:Astrale01 is abusing socks, or that the IP is in fact, a shared one. Would love your input before I take any action on his unblock request. Cheers Dina 17:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey :) You dealt with this user for an unblock request before, and you told him to wait a few days before reconsidering asking an unblock. That time arrived, you probably want to review him :) (I'm poking User:SunStar Net for the same reason). -- lucasbfr talk 16:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Erm, you do realize, I hope, that in the wonderful world of computer fonts "Garamond" means almost nothing? I suppose that it's old-style (and of course serif), but that's about as far as it goes. If alive today, Garamond would be surprised to see some of the misuses of his name.
Your bonus for your good deed: A link to the (Garamond-irrelevant) Fontin Sans. It's excellent, it has genuine italics and small caps, it's OpenType (though not "open"=copyleft) and the price is right.

Dear Luna Santin,
Yesterday I submitted an article "Health Hazards of Carbonated Drinks". That's my first contribution. There are questions that I should like to put to you.
1. Do I need to do any more in the process of getting it accepted? 2. How do I check out responses to my questions if they are not e-mailed to me? 3. When does an article get logged into Wikipedia's encyclopedia? 4. I have requested feedback. Do I need to enter the Wikipedia web site and if so where do I get the information on feedback? 5. Does Save Page automatically submit a page, or is there some additional "submit" instruction? Many thanks for your help.

This sockpuppet you have banned is back as Willie Peter [1]. He's been able to hoodwink a sympathetic admin, but is up to his old tricks. Propol has tagged him as a Hazelton sockpuppet [2], and he (true to form) has removed the tag from his page [3]. I'd appreciate your looking into this, as you previously blocked him [4]. His IP [5] is within the series of several Joehazelton socks. [6], and his disruptive edits, combativeness, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, ersatz literary references, and threats are the same as ever. Another Joehazelton parallel: the account, less than one week old, is (to quote you) "displaying a shocking familiarity with Wikipedia policies and norms." Thanks for any help you can provide.

Luna,
Some time ago you took down our posting for Thirdscreenfilmfestival.com. You said that we should not use Wikipedia as an advertising vehicle(we were not intending to do that, just inform). Recently, however, you have allowed a wiki for the TV/Internet show "On the Lot", which is the same principle as our festival. Now, is it Wikipedia's intention to allow high level productions to advertise on their site, only to turn around and call a small (we had over 1 million hits in October), website like ours an advertising ploy? I am failing to see what the difference is.
I would log in, but I think that my account was canceled when our posting was taken down.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated,

I am completely disturbed by the Anabolic steroid article on wikipedia. It is neither broad in content nor neutral in expression. More specifically, it seems controlled by a single editor who excludes important scholarship on the health risks and serious adverse effects of steroid abuse. This exclusion not only undermines the factual integrity of the article, but also presents a potentially dangerous representation of a serious health concern. I'm not sure exactly where to turn for help, though I have posted it for review under the GA section; is there anything that can be done to remove the 'ownership' this editor has taken over the article and the biased representation of it?

You mentioned your willingness to try to solve some issues between me and User:Yug by having a word with him, and I'm wondering if you're still willing.
Since he was blocked, he has adopted a policy of sarcastic, reactionary commentary regarding me. His latest weirdness is an "invisible" reply ( diff) to a comment I placed on his talk page regarding a recent post by him on the Talk:CJK strokes page ( diff).
All I'm trying to do is create an encyclopaedia here. As an admin, Yug really should know better than to behave the way he is. I really would just like for him to stick with the policies regarding posts: assume good faith, don't be a dick, stick to discussion of the article, and so on.

Hello Luna,
I am a registered user at Wikipedia, ES101... I have been posting links and checking on external links at Spylocked page. I have noticed that you have been in conversation with Mike1D who was earlier also being asked to stop spamming at wikipedia on that page.
Now if you see the talk page of spylocked you would see i have given a good explanation of why links to SpywareSignatures.com free removal tools is a good idea and other admins/mod or wiki agreed to it.
Please read this
Hello Otto, respecting Wikipedia's policies here are some points covering your querries with Spylocked Page.
I have been posting links to SpywareSignatures Tool which removes spylocked, THat tool really works well and is even being recommeded by MVPs in the One care and Microsoft Support forums.
Here you might want to see it
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1426598&SiteID=17
The page from where it is downloaded has more than 15K hits in last couple of months.
Moreover its a popular download on Download.com

This software is downloaded over 3000 times since 9th May. ( NOW ITS OVER 6000 )
I would suggest you to download this tool once and test it against spylocked as you did with CounterSpy.
I hope it helps.
Please let me know if the links i posted were SPAM, and i would quit posting.
Best Regards ES101
I have words with several mods here and explaind them the benifit of the free tool and all have agreed to it. Please let me know if you have any question about the tool.
Also let me tell you one more thing.
Also there is another link added frequestly that takes to xp-vista(dot)com which promotes SpyHunter which is a former rogue antispyware... it would ask you to download spyhunter but to remove anything you would need to pay $$..

Hi. I don't know whether you even still want to be involved, but I'm becoming very frustrated by this user's ongoing issues with me.
I've responded to Yug's long list of accusations about me on his talk page. I haven't edited any of the Stroke order-related articles for several weeks. I've generally stayed away from Yug. Yet he continues to maintain a long page all about me with a link to the Arbitration Committee at the top that contains stuff that's more or less ancient history (including a link to a post some other user made about me in 2005 -- a user who was known for his tendentious style of discussion and who hasn't even edited Wikipedia at all for 19 months now), and a look at Yug's contribution history suggests that most of his energy over the last couple of weeks has been devoted to me.
The latest round of accusations seem to have been brought on by my suggestion that two closely related articles, Stroke order and Stroke (CJK character), be merged -- a proposal mind you, not an actual merge. There was almost no discussion of the merge, though it should be noted that there was at least one other support for the proposal.
What I would like at this point is for Yug to delete the page User:Yug/EB, to get back to work editing, and to stop devoting so much time to complaining about me and gathering "evidence" about me for whatever obscure reason. Given that I haven't made any edits at all to the relevant articles for several weeks (and no substantial edits for even longer than that), I can't understand this ongoing issue. Exploding Boy 22:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
"Withdraw"? Any person can edit any article on Wikipedia; expertise is not a prerequisite, only factual accuracy and verifiability. In addition, I've never used claims of expertise in regards to my edits: I've never once made reference to my credentials in support of changes I've made or proposed to any article. I don't understand Yug's problem, really. Instead of getting on with editing, he's rehashing and rehashing issues he's blown out of all proportion regarding articles I haven't even touched for weeks.
Indeed, it's ironic that Yug claims that I'm trying to "own" certain articles, when he's made it abundantly clear that he's trying to do exactly that. This is really just an extended temper tantrum that I strongly advise Yug to get under control. I've done all I can to diffuse the situation: I've stayed away from Yug. I've stopped editing the articles in question. Yug's behaviour is akin to stalking, and it's becoming harassment. Exploding Boy 16:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Speak for yourself. I have no need to control that or any other article. And I have no idea what "recent misleading content change proposal" you're talking about. Frankly, I'm beginning to think you're a little crazy, and will no longer be responding to you on this subject. Discuss my edits if I make any. Otherwise, leave me alone.

Thanks for blocking them; I was about to do it when I saw that you'd done it for me. Sigh...no idea where that vandal came from; probably a user I blocked when they were using another account or IP. Acalamari 01:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey! I unblocked him, thanks for letting me know :). For the future, if you're fairly sure about an unblock, just unblock and drop me a note, I don't feel possessive about blocks ;). I hope his "brother" will stay away from the computer. -- lucasbfr talk 09:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Normally I would request such moves at WP:RM, but could you simply move Dracula (disambiguation) to Dracula and Kankuro (disambiguation) to Kankuro? Both redirect to their disambiguation pages respectfully and I don't think such moves are major enough to request. You could say the reason to do this is "superfluous title". Thanks. Lord Sesshomaru
Feel free to unblock Thomasmc14 ( talk · contribs) or reduce the block to a week (as suggested by the user himself). I considered adding {{ second chance}} myself since the editor has yet to show any real positive contributions... Admitting that their contributions were silly and apologizing is kind of a nice change from your average unblock request, ain't it? Cheers, — Scien tizzle 22:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you're listed at Wikipedia:Changing_username/Assistance and seem to be fairly active, so I wonder if you could give advice. I'm User:AnonEMouse, a reasonably experienced and somewhat active administrator, and have, to my surprise, noticed the existence of User:AnonEMousse, who actually predates my account, but has no edits. I don't know much about Wikipedia:Doppelganger accounts and Wikipedia:Usurpation but hope you do. Would you advise I ask for an usurpation and to make that a doppelganger, to avoid any potential for confusion or not? -- AnonEMouse (squeak) 12:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
This is an odd one. The only IPs this editor (who you unblocked recently) has used are otherwise all full of sockpuppets of William Henry Harrison (he lists most of them on his talk page). There have been gaps as small as 15 minutes, on numerous occasions, between Southern Texas and various of the socks, on one IP. And another IP is even more dramatic. Take a look at the series of anonymous edits to Bianca Beauchamp, starting here. In between the edits at 0:08 and 0:13 comes this edit, from the same IP.
"Harrison" has yanked us before, and might well be continuing to. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 20:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
You've listed four socks that I've seen, but I can list more. Is it allowed to add to the list you've composed? Acalamari 22:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Back at Uncontroversial moves, I asked for two simple moves and noticed that Dracula was redirected to the novel by Reginmund and the Kankuro case remained unsolved. Which is a more popular search for "Dracula": the story or the character? A google test suggests the character. And of the remaining, Kankuro? Lord Sesshomaru
Edwin rose ( talk · contribs) isn't getting it - he just created his user page again and has contributed nil to the encyclopedia. Similar situation erupted with Jokenda ( talk · contribs), Ryulong indefblcoked user. Same here, or should we warn him again and block the next time? hbdragon88 04:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello Luna Santin,
You left some comments here about User:Rob right's apparent use as a single purpose sockpuppet account, and abuse of vandalism warnings. I wasn't aware of that incident report, and actually raised my concerns here, where I outline why I now believe him to be a disruptive/bad faith/POV editor, with little chance of changing his ways.
I've repeated called for discussions and suggested compromises to a content dispute, and remained dignified and polite with this user (in his several guises). However, following your suspension, he's editting as an IP ( User:79.73.36.212) and just not acknowledging the consensus against him and calls for debate.
Per the reasons I outline at the link I've provided above, I think there's little hope of assuming good faith here, as his desire to promote his point of view is focussed and is spread to other webspaces. Can you advise on how to best tackle this, as I'd like to do this by the book. Sorry for the inconveinence, Jza84 00:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome. I don't plan on doing any editing, just looking for pics and information for my projects at work. I feel uncomfortable editing someone else's work when I am sure they have done quite a bit to put down that information. Again, thank you for the nice welcome. -- Tigerlilly 13:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Wikililogirl
Hi, (sorry i speak badly english)
For that, sorry but you are mistaken, it's false : Iam from french wiki and i particulary contribuate to algerian articles, and when i see Miriam83's vandalism on Algeria and Kabylie' pages in this wiki, i reverted his modifications. But iam not Miriam83, see my others contributions. My IP is always : 89.69.230.***.
Cordially
86.69.230.10 08:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
This apparently legitimate user was autoblocked when I blocked User:Thy true power. The connection is apparently User talk:24.4.25.168, an IP you described as non-dynamic and non-shared. I'm not well-versed enough in the ways of IP's to determine if this means that User:Astrale01 is abusing socks, or that the IP is in fact, a shared one. Would love your input before I take any action on his unblock request. Cheers Dina 17:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for helping with the sockpuppets of Nate1506 (was that the right number?). I appreciate any efforts to stop this guy disease. He vandalized my user page and talk page relentlessly the other night and I was beginning to cry. THANK YOU!!
Savie Kumara 19:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Yup, I'm fine with that. I suspect he'll think I'm evil regardless... but he won't be the first or last there.-- Isotope23 01:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I assume you are satisfied by the user's response and based on that I have unblocked him. In the future, if you think any decision of mine be reversed, but I dont seem to be online, please go ahead and do it. I wont take offense. :) I would appreciate a note though. Cheers. -- soum talk 04:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
My aiv didn't sign. Do you know why or can you fix it? Thanks. When I report someone to AIV can I give them that message? A link to which I tried is here. Thanks and could you respond on my talk page? Thanks again! SLSB talk 14:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey :) You dealt with this user for an unblock request before, and you told him to wait a few days before reconsidering asking an unblock. That time arrived, you probably want to review him :) (I'm poking User:SunStar Net for the same reason). -- lucasbfr talk 16:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Luna. I have just seen that User:Vmrgrsergr was blocked on 16 July for sock puppeteering. However, couldn't find any record at WP:RFC/U. I wonder if you could guide me to find out where is it documented? thanks. -- Isles Cape Talk 17:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking the Harry Potter IP vandal at AIV just now. I was having trouble reverting the spoilers without reading them! Charlie- talk to me- what I've done 09:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks very much for reverting the recent nitwit edit to my user page.
Erm, you do realize, I hope, that in the wonderful world of computer fonts "Garamond" means almost nothing? I suppose that it's old-style (and of course serif), but that's about as far as it goes. If alive today, Garamond would be surprised to see some of the misuses of his name.
Your bonus for your good deed: A link to the (Garamond-irrelevant) Fontin Sans. It's excellent, it has genuine italics and small caps, it's OpenType (though not "open"=copyleft) and the price is right.
No need to reply. -- Hoary 11:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You ask here "please explain how you randomly stumbled across a dispute as a "new" user". I just want to point out (having had this user accused of being my sock) that there have been a number of anons contributing to the talk page lately including opposing the MikeD78 viewpoint, eg 63.245.145.113. I am not opposing the block as the user has nothing to do with me (they can do that for themselves) but I am pointing out the shakiness of your reasoning for the block. Thanks, SqueakBox 18:04, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello Luna -
I tried to report a possible sockpuppet today here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Bob_Lee_Swagger
The sock was User:Bob_Lee_Swagger, the suspecteed puppeteer was User:MadeinFinland.
I'm not sure I did it right and I'm uncertain about what to do next. Could you have a look?

I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and yesterday I submitted an article. I thought I did it correctly, but when I went to look for it I cannot pull it up.
The article was entitled: "Chattanooga's Terminal Station, Today's Chattanooga Choo Choo Vacation Complex."
Can you please help me? Thank you!

Hi Luna
Thanks for archiving the old rfcu on DY71. Unfortunately though, you also archived a current outstanding request. WOuld be kind enough to fix that, please? I’m asking you, becasue I haven’t had much luck formatting this page – in fact, my botched request is probably what’s confused you.
Many thanks and kind regards -- Merbabu 06:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Dear Luna Santin,
Yesterday I submitted an article "Health Hazards of Carbonated Drinks". That's my first contribution. There are questions that I should like to put to you.
1. Do I need to do any more in the process of getting it accepted? 2. How do I check out responses to my questions if they are not e-mailed to me? 3. When does an article get logged into Wikipedia's encyclopedia? 4. I have requested feedback. Do I need to enter the Wikipedia web site and if so where do I get the information on feedback? 5. Does Save Page automatically submit a page, or is there some additional "submit" instruction? Many thanks for your help.
