Mackensen,
You deleted the Penis Banding Article I wrote. While some may not agree or understand the practice, it is indeed practiced. In the Body Mod and BDSM world it is not uncommon. I wrote the article specifically because there are not a lot of good clear/concise articles on this subject on the internet. I would like to have a Deletion Review done. I strongly disagree with the deletion of the article. Unfortunately, I am not a seasoned wikipedian and am not sure how to kick off the Deletion Review.
Please advise...

I wanted to drop a brief note on your talk page (one admittedly not written to you only, but nevertheless truly meant) to thank you for your vote in my Request for Adminship, which concluded this evening. Even though it was unsuccessful, it did make clear to me some areas in which I can improve my contributions to Wikipedia, both in terms of the areas in which I can participate and the manner in which I can participate. I do plan on, at some point in the future (although, I think, not the near future), attempting the process again, and I hope you will consider participating in that voting process as well. If you wish in the future to offer any constructive criticism to me, or if I may assist you with anything, I hope you will not hesitate to contact me. Thanks again. — WCityMike ( T 04:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I see that you've closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elftor as a "no consensus" despite 6 out of 8 people involved in the discussion believing it ought to be deleted. If you believe that "there aren't enough people taking part in this discussion," would you consider re-listing it for further discussion? -- Dragonfiend 15:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I see that you have decided to delete this article, despite huge public support for it and continued editing of the article as a response to concerns from Wikipedians. Instead of outlining why you deleted the article, you made the following unhelpful comment:
"The result of the debate was delete. A great big thank you to all the Cholmelians who made Highgate Deletion Day 2006 such a rambunctious success!"
The result of the debate was not delete, you decided to delete the article, despite an on-going discussion and numerous points made in favour of keeping the article. Could you please tell me, and fellow wikipedians, why you have decided to delete this article and ignore the comments that support the article? 86.129.124.96 16:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
If it's your job to delete the article then fine, but why make a snide comment?
"A great big thank you to all the Cholmelians who made Highgate Deletion Day 2006 such a rambunctious success!"
Quite pathetic given we were trying to engage in an actual debate, and made every effort to meet the criteria. thegreatbriton
I just felt that by adopting the vocabulary and style that much of the article was written in, and also by christening the day that something we felt strongly about was deleted with a clebratory monkier, you were taunting and attempting to humiliate us..... Thegreatbriton
After such a successful day, such a successful article, you've successfully ruined a fantastic memory. So many people in and out of Highgate School supported the article. No debate took place, as the Cholmeleians would have won hands down. Truely I'm disgusted at the fact that every fact was true, we followed all rules and the article was extremely informative. I'm ashamed of both you and wikipedia.
Applying clearly hypocritical principles and foul play (notably the deletion of several relevant comments IN FAVOUR of keeping the page) a valuable page has been deleted the page against the will of the majority. Not only do you deprive many hundreds of people of an informative resource, but you then add insult to injury by leaving some snide and catty comment as you do so. On top of all that, you can't even spell 'Cholmeleians' correctly. Svajoklis 16:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I have been following your handling of this page , and I found your deletion comment unprofessional, if indeed one could call your job as moderator in any way 'professional'. Although I sympathise with some of your argument for the article's deletion, I find your decision to ingore the pleas of the people involved in this event, those that have been affected by it, other students throughout the world and your fellow wikipedians without real consideration rather shocking. Here at wikipedia you have a huge responsibility to collect and consolidate fact, and seperate it from fiction. Collection of such fact in turn becomes history, so you are responsible for moderating what is becoming history, and thus shaping it. So slurring this story is something I would strongly advise you not to do.Living on the other side of the Atlantic I fail to see how you came about wielding the power to delete this article, important for a culture you clearly are incapable of understanding. It is obvious to me that this day did occur, and was enjoyed by many, adults as well as children. Classing the people who have contributed to the deletion debate as kids or children is also incorrect - as I'm sure you are aware, having done research into the matter now, muck up days are for LEAVERS so the majority will in fact be over 18 - older, I dare say, than a lot of people who contribute to wikipedia - and by English law, adults. We both know it is up to all requirements given by this site, it is reference and it is fact. I fail to see how this can now be called a 'free' encyclopedia.

To all of the high schoolers out there: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free webhost. Would you expect to read an article on some prank day in Encyclopedia Britannica? I sure hope not! As much fun as this day of prankery was to you guys, it's utterly non-notable on an encyclopedic scale. Sorry. -- Cyde↔Weys 17:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh look! And there goes another one of my comments, deleted! Censorship anyone?
Look, you can argue here all you want, but I made my decision, and any other administrator, including the British ones, would have made it as well. You can take it to Deletion Review, which I've linked above, or you can continue arguing here. The latter won't do much good, I'm afraid. Mackensen (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it is very sad that a site such as Wikipedia cannot be home to a record of an event such as this. Wikipedia is littered with other events in history and this event, although maby not of the same scale as a great many, does deserve recognition, and is of interest to those in and around the London area.
Just wanted to let you know, Voice of All has written a script to make answering RFCU requests easier. It adds a dropdown to the edit view of RFCU that inserts the various indication templates, along with a signature and edit summary. You can, of course, then add any comments that need to be added before saving. I've modified it a bit from the original, to make the edit summaries a bit more brief and to avoid having a popup when using the templates that require additional comment (like the "more information" and "please note" templates); if you're interested, you can find my version at User:Essjay/checkuser.js (the include is at the bottom of my monobook.js), and VOA's version at User:Voice of All/CheckUser/monobook.js.

Dear Mackensen,
I would like to kindly request the sockpuppet tag be removed from userpage since it has been sometime. I do not engage in puppetry now. Respectfully, Insert-Belltower 14:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I have unblocked User:Sweetiepetie. I've looked at JamieAdams' talk history and the behaviour seems very out of character for Sweetiepetitie. I've never seen the latter be so provocative. I don't have the technical knowledge to explain the IP address, but I do notice that he/she has had problems with AOL proxies recently.
Anyhow, as far as I know, Sweetiepetie has done nothing to warrant being permablocked -- I've had the user's Userpage on my watchlist for a while now too, and follow the project he's mainly involved in. The JPS talk to me 14:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi - Another user has joined the EastEnders project called AnemoneProjectors. He only started contributing after the above user was banned, is suspiciously good at editing (suggesting he's edited before) and contributes to a similar set of articles (not just on EastEnders). I don't know whether he is another sockpuppet of this "JamieAdams" user, but I'd like to investigate (or someone else should)... (NB: also asked The JPS for information about the block before I found you through his list of contributions - I don't need to know why there was a block, but having come across the previous discussions etc. I thought I'd raise a flag!). Anyway, thanks - possibly nothing, but you never know... Stephenb (Talk) 17:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Today, BillyBong ( talk · contribs) made two backslash-inserting edits [2] [3], a clear indication of an open proxy. This case has been listed at WP:RCU, but it doesn't seem to be getting the right attention from clerks there (one says there are no other users to compare to; the other says the account has already been indefinitely blocked). As a result, I'm forwarding this request directly to you because I know you have successfully handled three similar requests in the past (once in April, twice in May). If another CU person runs the check and blocks the IP, great; if not, please make this the fourth time you've scanned and blocked an open proxy behind a registered user's edit(s). 207.156.196.242 14:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, pardon me for intruding on your talk page but I have a question that's, well, that it's difficult to find someone to ask. :) It's in regards to this diff: [4] I've been under the impression in the past that "Users who disagree" sections like this are discouraged, and typically removed. Of course, the first time I've noticed this on a page on my watchlist, it's to an opinion I, myself, posted.
I've sought you out because you're an established editor, admin, arbitrator, etc...and not directly involved, and someone who hasn't signed on my section. I nearly looked for someone who hadn't posted to the RFC at all, but it's a pretty big RFC at this point. Anyhoo, I won't touch this comment myself. I don't mind it, and would be happy to discuss it on the talk page, but procedurally, I feel this user would have been better off signing onto the opinion above or below mine (since both are, fairly, diametrically opposed).
Well, I've brought this to a neutral parties attention, so I'll stop abusing you with my horrible misuse of commas now (it's a problem I have, really). If you don't see a need to revert it, please let me know. Thanks for your time. -- InkSplotch 02:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am sending this message to serious contributors who may be interested in articles related to U.S. politics. I believe I am receiving an unreasonable response-- and at times insulting and rude-- from the editors of Norm Coleman article, who refuse to remove a section that may offer some interesting trivia for Wikipeidia users, but is irrelevant to people interested in reading an encyclopedia article on a member of U.S. Senate. If you have time, please take a look at the article. Regards. 172 | Talk 03:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mackensen, since you closed the AFD for this article, I'd thought I'd like to let you know that User:Quickman, who created the original article that was deleted after the AFD, has since reposted the article word-for-word three times. Twice before I reverted it back the redirect you originally created, the second time I done so i wrote a strongly worded plea to stop on his user page. He has reposted again, and I'm starting to feel a bit powerless since I don't think it's proper to me to be the revert patrol. Can you let me know what would be the proper thing to do in this case and what help you could provide? Thanks, hateless 07:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Could you please post on the usercheck page your reasons for denying my usercheck request? Thanks Hpaami 05:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear Mack, I want to bring to your attention that, minutes after you closed its AfD debate and consequently deleted it, Logos of the Walt Disney Company has been recreated, with its original creator stating on its Talk Page that "The page is back". Perhaps it would be better to protect it after re-deletion; I leave that up to you. Big hugs, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Could you please give me a reason for not labelling Arthur Ellis a sock puppet of Ceraurus. Here is a quote from an Adminisrator.
I assume you meant "Arthur Ellis", not Ceraurus. Ceraurus himself hasn't left a comment here under his own name for quite some time. One way or the other, no admin is going to lift the block until Ceraurus makes his own case in his own voice. Bucketsofg✐ 22:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
He is now on vacation right now, so he can not mediate. I don't care if Arthur Ellis trolls wiki, I just wish he would stop denying who he is.

Hi, I'm quite surprised to see you close as delete the three "Names of cities..." articles despite clear majorities to the contrary. Your argumentation that "Keep voters have failed to assert how this is encyclopedic material"" seems to fly in the face of detailed argumentation provided by, for instance User:Pasquale, Adam78 and others. Pasquale's arguments, in particular, had found support by many voters. Moreover, I must say that your comment at least one keep voter admitted that he doesn't know what encyclopedic content is (directed at the comment by User:Eivind, if this is unencyclopedic, I don't know what an encyclopedia is) looks like a mockery. Could you reconsider? - I'm willing to take it to deletion review too, of course. Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I do understand that on some level, but the comment was hurtful. It serves as a convenient way for me to express to others that something went haywire in that early discussion, and that -- somehow -- attacks on my person, my intellect, and my judgment came first, before dispassionate critical analysis of the choices made. Those comments from yourself and Ms. Martin were unbecoming, and unwarranted (at least insofar as they were made as blank statements, without the support of logical argument.) Before someone says that I lack the capacity to operate as an admin (that's a paraphrasal), I expect somber discussion -- not "drama," as one commenter put it.
Even if my decision (over a two-word redirect) were wholly wrong, the manner in which I was addressed was shameful, and I do take that seriously. I expected better of you -- I really admired your remarks at ArbCom election-time, and your conduct has honestly hurt me personally. Regards, Xoloz 15:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Your deletions of Names of European cities in different languages and the African and Asian counterparts were contrary to consensus. Carlossuarez46 18:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I really hope that you will change your mind on these articles, what I have posted to Dbiv's and other admin's talk pages is:
Please review the deletion of Names of European cities in different languages, and the related articles Names of Asian cities in different languages and Names of African cities in different languages. These were discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Names of European cities in different languages, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Names of Asian cities in different languages, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Names of African cities in different languages.

That is: 27-10 to keep. While I know that it’s not a strict vote-counting exercise, the usual rule of thumb is not to delete unless there is a strong consensus expressed to do so – i.e., give the benefit of the doubt toward keeping. Here, process was thwarted.
The administrator closing the AfD acted contrary to the consensus expressed at the AfD by making his/her own judgment that the content was not encyclopedic. The whole issue of alternate placenames is very much encyclopedic and has been the subject on ongoing debate among Wikipedians, for example at: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) and the various disputes about whether to use “Danzig” or “Gdansk” for that city near the Baltic, etc.. Also, similar articles remain extant in several other Interwiki’s (since the article is deleted, the interwiki links are gone too, otherwise I could cite which), so they appear encyclopedic to people who speak other languages. Please restore the articles. Carlossuarez46 19:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I did not undelete the city names article just to spite you or something. I saw it referred to from an article (in a valid context), and having previously viewed the article, I was curious as to why it was red-linked.
I checked the page, and was rather shocked to see a page of 2000+ edits deleted. Nevertheless, I assumed there was a deletion debate I had missed, so I checked out the deleted history (for some reason the talk page was left without a deleted notice pointing to the debate).
Having seen that the deletion was applied under erroneous circumstances (there was no consensus to delete. Consensus may be a subjective thing, but it's certainly >50%), I undeleted. I would have posted to votes for undeletion if it had been validly deleted, but as its deletion had not been accepted on the Afd page, I didn't see that as necessary.
Apologies for not posting you a notice.

I'm somewhat concerned about your deletion of Logos of the Walt Disney company. How is this case different from, e.g., Closing logos of Viacom or Google logo? There was clearly no consensus for deletion, so what policy is your decision to close the debate with deletion based on? Is there an actual policy against fair use galleries in encyclopedic articles?-- Eloquence * 18:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You recently handled a CheckUser of my account and the account of one of my friends. The incident that spurred this also involved two new users, User:Plinky and User:Daor Nedlog, who are unrelated to me but who others suspect I am using to meatpuppet. When I came home tonight, I discovered that someone has now created the blatant imposter account of User:TPlRFanSteve and was using it for vandalism before it was blocked.
If I were to request a CheckUser of Plinky, Daor Nedlog, and TPlRFanSteve, would I be able to find out if one or more of them is editing from Dayton, Ohio (and more specifically, the Dayton Public Library System)? If they are, there's a very good chance that they're a person named Harvey Daye, Jr. who has been trolling the online game show community for close to six years and who holds a particularly large grudge against me. This is getting to a point where it's ridiculous, and I'd like to at least know if there's an explanation for it that reaches beyond Wikipedia. - TPIRFanSteve 01:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Aside from the tag on the checkuser page, I do belive many of the checkuser clerks have Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Clerks/Requests watchlisted. Big red flag for help if you post a comment there. Its there for you to bug the clerks. Discussiony stuff is on that page's associated talk page. There's other pages there that were created several weeks back that you may find interesting, but mainly the noticeboard is all you probably need to read. Of a related note, I'm currently looking at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ceraurus. It all screwy, but I'll finish it tonight, probably late. Kevin_b_er 05:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I had assumed at the time of closing that they were sockpuppets and was not suprised to see you tag Lionette earlier. Do you think that even with the sockpuppet activity that the three articles, Haris Cizmic, Adisa Cizmic and AXA (band) should be listed for AfD? I did believe that Haris Cizmic was notable enough to warrent an article in light of the changes to the article, the provided references and most of the delete comments were prior to the changes. Which is why I closed it as keep, against consensus (suprised I didn't get any complaints about that). Can you check the three articles and if you think they should be relisted I will do it as a group and list it due to sockpuppetry. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm the guy who started this whole mess. Once I was able to quiet the mob, a good-faith effort was made to fix the page to Wikipedia standards. Once I asked them to put that energy into fixing the page instead, The sockpuppetry essentially ceased. The pages as they stand now meet Wikipedia standards, and editors other than the sockpuppets put a lot of effort into helping them get fixed instead of deleted. If a sanction is necessary, it would be better to sanction the editors who behaved badly, instead of pages that would otherwise not be up for deletion. -- DarkAudit 15:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
If the images are the work of the author of the page (or a young nephew as a favor, see AfD for Haris Cizmic's input), how can they be a copyright violation? There was a good bit of discussion on this in the original AfD, and it appeared that the matter was settled satisfactorally. -- DarkAudit 15:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to inform you that I marked the proposal as "failed to archive consensus".

It appears the range block you imposed on PoolGuy's IP range is ineffective, since about 2-3 additional accounts were created (and edited) after the block (note Pschemp's newest additions to the CheckUser request). Perhaps you should revisit this case, run another Checkuser, and/or adjust your block. 69.117.4.237 04:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Mackensen,
You deleted the Penis Banding Article I wrote. While some may not agree or understand the practice, it is indeed practiced. In the Body Mod and BDSM world it is not uncommon. I wrote the article specifically because there are not a lot of good clear/concise articles on this subject on the internet. I would like to have a Deletion Review done. I strongly disagree with the deletion of the article. Unfortunately, I am not a seasoned wikipedian and am not sure how to kick off the Deletion Review.
Please advise...

I wanted to drop a brief note on your talk page (one admittedly not written to you only, but nevertheless truly meant) to thank you for your vote in my Request for Adminship, which concluded this evening. Even though it was unsuccessful, it did make clear to me some areas in which I can improve my contributions to Wikipedia, both in terms of the areas in which I can participate and the manner in which I can participate. I do plan on, at some point in the future (although, I think, not the near future), attempting the process again, and I hope you will consider participating in that voting process as well. If you wish in the future to offer any constructive criticism to me, or if I may assist you with anything, I hope you will not hesitate to contact me. Thanks again. — WCityMike ( T 04:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I see that you've closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elftor as a "no consensus" despite 6 out of 8 people involved in the discussion believing it ought to be deleted. If you believe that "there aren't enough people taking part in this discussion," would you consider re-listing it for further discussion? -- Dragonfiend 15:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I see that you have decided to delete this article, despite huge public support for it and continued editing of the article as a response to concerns from Wikipedians. Instead of outlining why you deleted the article, you made the following unhelpful comment:
"The result of the debate was delete. A great big thank you to all the Cholmelians who made Highgate Deletion Day 2006 such a rambunctious success!"
The result of the debate was not delete, you decided to delete the article, despite an on-going discussion and numerous points made in favour of keeping the article. Could you please tell me, and fellow wikipedians, why you have decided to delete this article and ignore the comments that support the article? 86.129.124.96 16:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
If it's your job to delete the article then fine, but why make a snide comment?
"A great big thank you to all the Cholmelians who made Highgate Deletion Day 2006 such a rambunctious success!"
Quite pathetic given we were trying to engage in an actual debate, and made every effort to meet the criteria. thegreatbriton
I just felt that by adopting the vocabulary and style that much of the article was written in, and also by christening the day that something we felt strongly about was deleted with a clebratory monkier, you were taunting and attempting to humiliate us..... Thegreatbriton
After such a successful day, such a successful article, you've successfully ruined a fantastic memory. So many people in and out of Highgate School supported the article. No debate took place, as the Cholmeleians would have won hands down. Truely I'm disgusted at the fact that every fact was true, we followed all rules and the article was extremely informative. I'm ashamed of both you and wikipedia.
Applying clearly hypocritical principles and foul play (notably the deletion of several relevant comments IN FAVOUR of keeping the page) a valuable page has been deleted the page against the will of the majority. Not only do you deprive many hundreds of people of an informative resource, but you then add insult to injury by leaving some snide and catty comment as you do so. On top of all that, you can't even spell 'Cholmeleians' correctly. Svajoklis 16:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I have been following your handling of this page , and I found your deletion comment unprofessional, if indeed one could call your job as moderator in any way 'professional'. Although I sympathise with some of your argument for the article's deletion, I find your decision to ingore the pleas of the people involved in this event, those that have been affected by it, other students throughout the world and your fellow wikipedians without real consideration rather shocking. Here at wikipedia you have a huge responsibility to collect and consolidate fact, and seperate it from fiction. Collection of such fact in turn becomes history, so you are responsible for moderating what is becoming history, and thus shaping it. So slurring this story is something I would strongly advise you not to do.Living on the other side of the Atlantic I fail to see how you came about wielding the power to delete this article, important for a culture you clearly are incapable of understanding. It is obvious to me that this day did occur, and was enjoyed by many, adults as well as children. Classing the people who have contributed to the deletion debate as kids or children is also incorrect - as I'm sure you are aware, having done research into the matter now, muck up days are for LEAVERS so the majority will in fact be over 18 - older, I dare say, than a lot of people who contribute to wikipedia - and by English law, adults. We both know it is up to all requirements given by this site, it is reference and it is fact. I fail to see how this can now be called a 'free' encyclopedia.

To all of the high schoolers out there: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free webhost. Would you expect to read an article on some prank day in Encyclopedia Britannica? I sure hope not! As much fun as this day of prankery was to you guys, it's utterly non-notable on an encyclopedic scale. Sorry. -- Cyde↔Weys 17:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh look! And there goes another one of my comments, deleted! Censorship anyone?
Look, you can argue here all you want, but I made my decision, and any other administrator, including the British ones, would have made it as well. You can take it to Deletion Review, which I've linked above, or you can continue arguing here. The latter won't do much good, I'm afraid. Mackensen (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it is very sad that a site such as Wikipedia cannot be home to a record of an event such as this. Wikipedia is littered with other events in history and this event, although maby not of the same scale as a great many, does deserve recognition, and is of interest to those in and around the London area.
Just wanted to let you know, Voice of All has written a script to make answering RFCU requests easier. It adds a dropdown to the edit view of RFCU that inserts the various indication templates, along with a signature and edit summary. You can, of course, then add any comments that need to be added before saving. I've modified it a bit from the original, to make the edit summaries a bit more brief and to avoid having a popup when using the templates that require additional comment (like the "more information" and "please note" templates); if you're interested, you can find my version at User:Essjay/checkuser.js (the include is at the bottom of my monobook.js), and VOA's version at User:Voice of All/CheckUser/monobook.js.

Hello. I have unblocked User:Sweetiepetie. I've looked at JamieAdams' talk history and the behaviour seems very out of character for Sweetiepetitie. I've never seen the latter be so provocative. I don't have the technical knowledge to explain the IP address, but I do notice that he/she has had problems with AOL proxies recently.
Anyhow, as far as I know, Sweetiepetie has done nothing to warrant being permablocked -- I've had the user's Userpage on my watchlist for a while now too, and follow the project he's mainly involved in. The JPS talk to me 14:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi - Another user has joined the EastEnders project called AnemoneProjectors. He only started contributing after the above user was banned, is suspiciously good at editing (suggesting he's edited before) and contributes to a similar set of articles (not just on EastEnders). I don't know whether he is another sockpuppet of this "JamieAdams" user, but I'd like to investigate (or someone else should)... (NB: also asked The JPS for information about the block before I found you through his list of contributions - I don't need to know why there was a block, but having come across the previous discussions etc. I thought I'd raise a flag!). Anyway, thanks - possibly nothing, but you never know... Stephenb (Talk) 17:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Today, BillyBong ( talk · contribs) made two backslash-inserting edits [2] [3], a clear indication of an open proxy. This case has been listed at WP:RCU, but it doesn't seem to be getting the right attention from clerks there (one says there are no other users to compare to; the other says the account has already been indefinitely blocked). As a result, I'm forwarding this request directly to you because I know you have successfully handled three similar requests in the past (once in April, twice in May). If another CU person runs the check and blocks the IP, great; if not, please make this the fourth time you've scanned and blocked an open proxy behind a registered user's edit(s). 207.156.196.242 14:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, pardon me for intruding on your talk page but I have a question that's, well, that it's difficult to find someone to ask. :) It's in regards to this diff: [4] I've been under the impression in the past that "Users who disagree" sections like this are discouraged, and typically removed. Of course, the first time I've noticed this on a page on my watchlist, it's to an opinion I, myself, posted.
I've sought you out because you're an established editor, admin, arbitrator, etc...and not directly involved, and someone who hasn't signed on my section. I nearly looked for someone who hadn't posted to the RFC at all, but it's a pretty big RFC at this point. Anyhoo, I won't touch this comment myself. I don't mind it, and would be happy to discuss it on the talk page, but procedurally, I feel this user would have been better off signing onto the opinion above or below mine (since both are, fairly, diametrically opposed).
Well, I've brought this to a neutral parties attention, so I'll stop abusing you with my horrible misuse of commas now (it's a problem I have, really). If you don't see a need to revert it, please let me know. Thanks for your time. -- InkSplotch 02:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am sending this message to serious contributors who may be interested in articles related to U.S. politics. I believe I am receiving an unreasonable response-- and at times insulting and rude-- from the editors of Norm Coleman article, who refuse to remove a section that may offer some interesting trivia for Wikipeidia users, but is irrelevant to people interested in reading an encyclopedia article on a member of U.S. Senate.

Hi Mackensen, since you closed the AFD for this article, I'd thought I'd like to let you know that User:Quickman, who created the original article that was deleted after the AFD, has since reposted the article word-for-word three times. Twice before I reverted it back the redirect you originally created, the second time I done so i wrote a strongly worded plea to stop on his user page. He has reposted again, and I'm starting to feel a bit powerless since I don't think it's proper to me to be the revert patrol. Can you let me know what would be the proper thing to do in this case and what help you could provide? Thanks, hateless 07:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear Mack, I want to bring to your attention that, minutes after you closed its AfD debate and consequently deleted it, Logos of the Walt Disney Company has been recreated, with its original creator stating on its Talk Page that "The page is back". Perhaps it would be better to protect it after re-deletion; I leave that up to you. Big hugs, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Could you please give me a reason for not labelling Arthur Ellis a sock puppet of Ceraurus. Here is a quote from an Adminisrator.
I assume you meant "Arthur Ellis", not Ceraurus. Ceraurus himself hasn't left a comment here under his own name for quite some time. One way or the other, no admin is going to lift the block until Ceraurus makes his own case in his own voice. Bucketsofg✐ 22:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
He is now on vacation right now, so he can not mediate. I don't care if Arthur Ellis trolls wiki, I just wish he would stop denying who he is.

Hi, I'm quite surprised to see you close as delete the three "Names of cities..." articles despite clear majorities to the contrary. Your argumentation that "Keep voters have failed to assert how this is encyclopedic material"" seems to fly in the face of detailed argumentation provided by, for instance User:Pasquale, Adam78 and others. Pasquale's arguments, in particular, had found support by many voters. Moreover, I must say that your comment at least one keep voter admitted that he doesn't know what encyclopedic content is (directed at the comment by User:Eivind, if this is unencyclopedic, I don't know what an encyclopedia is) looks like a mockery. Could you reconsider? - I'm willing to take it to deletion review too, of course. Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I do understand that on some level, but the comment was hurtful. It serves as a convenient way for me to express to others that something went haywire in that early discussion, and that -- somehow -- attacks on my person, my intellect, and my judgment came first, before dispassionate critical analysis of the choices made. Those comments from yourself and Ms. Martin were unbecoming, and unwarranted (at least insofar as they were made as blank statements, without the support of logical argument.) Before someone says that I lack the capacity to operate as an admin (that's a paraphrasal), I expect somber discussion -- not "drama," as one commenter put it.
Even if my decision (over a two-word redirect) were wholly wrong, the manner in which I was addressed was shameful, and I do take that seriously. I expected better of you -- I really admired your remarks at ArbCom election-time, and your conduct has honestly hurt me personally. Regards, Xoloz 15:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Your deletions of Names of European cities in different languages and the African and Asian counterparts were contrary to consensus. Carlossuarez46 18:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I really hope that you will change your mind on these articles, what I have posted to Dbiv's and other admin's talk pages is:
Please review the deletion of Names of European cities in different languages, and the related articles Names of Asian cities in different languages and Names of African cities in different languages.

That is: 27-10 to keep. While I know that it’s not a strict vote-counting exercise, the usual rule of thumb is not to delete unless there is a strong consensus expressed to do so – i.e., give the benefit of the doubt toward keeping. Here, process was thwarted.
The administrator closing the AfD acted contrary to the consensus expressed at the AfD by making his/her own judgment that the content was not encyclopedic. The whole issue of alternate placenames is very much encyclopedic and has been the subject on ongoing debate among Wikipedians, for example at: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) and the various disputes about whether to use “Danzig” or “Gdansk” for that city near the Baltic, etc.. Also, similar articles remain extant in several other Interwiki’s (since the article is deleted, the interwiki links are gone too, otherwise I could cite which), so they appear encyclopedic to people who speak other languages. Please restore the articles. Carlossuarez46 19:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I did not undelete the city names article just to spite you or something. I saw it referred to from an article (in a valid context), and having previously viewed the article, I was curious as to why it was red-linked.
I checked the page, and was rather shocked to see a page of 2000+ edits deleted. Nevertheless, I assumed there was a deletion debate I had missed, so I checked out the deleted history (for some reason the talk page was left without a deleted notice pointing to the debate).
Having seen that the deletion was applied under erroneous circumstances (there was no consensus to delete. Consensus may be a subjective thing, but it's certainly >50%), I undeleted. I would have posted to votes for undeletion if it had been validly deleted, but as its deletion had not been accepted on the Afd page, I didn't see that as necessary.
Apologies for not posting you a notice.

I'm somewhat concerned about your deletion of Logos of the Walt Disney company. How is this case different from, e.g., Closing logos of Viacom or Google logo? There was clearly no consensus for deletion, so what policy is your decision to close the debate with deletion based on? Is there an actual policy against fair use galleries in encyclopedic articles?-- Eloquence * 18:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You recently handled a CheckUser of my account and the account of one of my friends. The incident that spurred this also involved two new users, User:Plinky and User:Daor Nedlog, who are unrelated to me but who others suspect I am using to meatpuppet. When I came home tonight, I discovered that someone has now created the blatant imposter account of User:TPlRFanSteve and was using it for vandalism before it was blocked.
If I were to request a CheckUser of Plinky, Daor Nedlog, and TPlRFanSteve, would I be able to find out if one or more of them is editing from Dayton, Ohio (and more specifically, the Dayton Public Library System)? If they are, there's a very good chance that they're a person named Harvey Daye, Jr. who has been trolling the online game show community for close to six years and who holds a particularly large grudge against me. This is getting to a point where it's ridiculous, and I'd like to at least know if there's an explanation for it that reaches beyond Wikipedia. - TPIRFanSteve 01:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Aside from the tag on the checkuser page, I do belive many of the checkuser clerks have Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Clerks/Requests watchlisted. Big red flag for help if you post a comment there. Its there for you to bug the clerks. Discussiony stuff is on that page's associated talk page. There's other pages there that were created several weeks back that you may find interesting, but mainly the noticeboard is all you probably need to read. Of a related note, I'm currently looking at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ceraurus. It all screwy, but I'll finish it tonight, probably late. Kevin_b_er 05:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I had assumed at the time of closing that they were sockpuppets and was not suprised to see you tag Lionette earlier. Do you think that even with the sockpuppet activity that the three articles, Haris Cizmic, Adisa Cizmic and AXA (band) should be listed for AfD? I did believe that Haris Cizmic was notable enough to warrent an article in light of the changes to the article, the provided references and most of the delete comments were prior to the changes. Which is why I closed it as keep, against consensus (suprised I didn't get any complaints about that). Can you check the three articles and if you think they should be relisted I will do it as a group and list it due to sockpuppetry. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm the guy who started this whole mess. Once I was able to quiet the mob, a good-faith effort was made to fix the page to Wikipedia standards. Once I asked them to put that energy into fixing the page instead, The sockpuppetry essentially ceased. The pages as they stand now meet Wikipedia standards, and editors other than the sockpuppets put a lot of effort into helping them get fixed instead of deleted. If a sanction is necessary, it would be better to sanction the editors who behaved badly, instead of pages that would otherwise not be up for deletion. -- DarkAudit 15:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
If the images are the work of the author of the page (or a young nephew as a favor, see AfD for Haris Cizmic's input), how can they be a copyright violation? There was a good bit of discussion on this in the original AfD, and it appeared that the matter was settled satisfactorally. -- DarkAudit 15:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I see that the privacy policy allows for disclosure of IP addresses turned up using CheckUser in the interests of combatting vandalism. Well, User:Dragon Emperor has threatened to keep making sockpuppets. I would be interested in obtaining the IP address(es) of Dragon Emperor so I can place nice long blocks on them to combat the abusive socks. I'll be in the admin IRC channel if you'd prefer to disclose the IP privately. Thanks. -- Lord Deskana ( talk) 22:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
I was looking for the previous discussion of the Walt Disney logos page, which was at Talk:Logos of the Walt Disney company. Do you know where it went? You didn't, by any chance, use your "oversight" privilege?-- Eloquence * 12:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks for running the checkuser for me! Gsd2000 01:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
The user who has claimed that I ( User:SincereGuy) was a sockpuppet (or sockmaster, he/she couldn't make up his/hers mind) of another user seemingly simply because I disagreed with him/her, got his/hers request for a CheckUser turned down. Can I remove the "suspected sockpuppet" tag now? -- SincereGuy 05:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I am certain that User:Truthwanted is User:192.117.103.90, avoiding violation of WP:3RR at Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses by logging out. Actions and language are identical. HELP!!! - CobaltBlueTony 19:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
A few days ago, Jtdirl posted the following note on my user talk page: Your skill is required on British Isles where some users are intent on POV-pushing and downplaying the fact that many people find the term offensive. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 16:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Now that I'm involved in the article, I see that the problem is one that two editors together cannot resolve. So, if you have the time, a skilled editor such as yourself is quite needed on the article. Regards. 172 | Talk 22:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I could not find an email address in your profile. Hope that is not an issue with whatever you need me for. Apologies for the slow delay, I've just returned from vacation. You can reach me at avick86@gmail.com, as specified on my userpage. AscendedAnathema 01:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Can you sprotect Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ceraurus? It's a long story. Thatcher131 02:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I've dropped you a Wikipedia email, containing the evidence supporting an indef block on JHartley as a reincarnation of indef blocked user HeadleyDown. It's following the comment that if he is a reincarnation he should be blocked.
For reasons explained in the email, I do not want to put the evidence on a public page. I hope you're okay with it being sent by email instead. It's not too long. Please let me know when you get it. Diffs are included. Thanks. FT2 ( Talk | email) 13:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to inform you that I marked the proposal as "failed to archive consensus". The talk page was pretty left to waste while straw poll had an overwhelming number of "oppose" votes, and only got a trickle flow of new votes. If ya disagree, please revert me and drop me a message. Best wishes. Charon X/ talk 00:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I closed a few AfDs as keep earlier today, including some that I voted in. I feel that this was unprofessional, so I ask your opinion: should I revert the closure and have you determine the closure yourself? Thanks. — Deckill e r 03:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
That should be all of them. I reverted most of the stuff I did in realtion to the AfDs. — Deckill e r 03:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Keep of 2 week delete of 3 merge of 1
Does this result mean "delete"?-- Questionfromjapan 11:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
User:The+Invisible+Man has struck again here with a new sock puppet account, User:Invisible!. Please deal with him accordingly. Additionally, feel free to semi-protect my talk page. -- LGagnon 23:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Mackensen, I'm Aeon I-B's Advocate. It has come to my knowledge that I-B was indentifed as an Abusive Sockpuppet. This tag was removed by I-B. I have advised him to restore the tag until you remove it or confirm it. Happy Editting Aeon Insane Ward 05:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Theres an RFCU which Essjay's deferred for your attention, if you have a moment. Thanks. FT2 ( Talk | email) 03:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
User replaced deleted page Tyara bumdeeay, then vandalised my user page after I G4'd the restored page. -- DarkAudit 22:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
It appears the range block you imposed on PoolGuy's IP range is ineffective, since about 2-3 additional accounts were created (and edited) after the block (note Pschemp's newest additions to the CheckUser request). Perhaps you should revisit this case, run another Checkuser, and/or adjust your block. 69.117.4.237 04:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Mackensen - what does "likely" mean? Indefblock for the sock or not? - CrazyRussian talk/ email 15:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!

All things considered (and especially considering the Ellis/Ceraurus related vandalism of July 5), would it be worth posting this to the Arthur Ellis RFCU page? Thanks. Thatcher131 16:51, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
