Sorry for late reply (impromptu mini-wikibreak). I generally keep an eye on the AEC's recent decisions for general updates, although even they usually go up only about a month after the ruling. I really, really wish these minor parties would settle on one name and stick to it; I remember the Climate Change Coalition and Conservatives for Climate and Environment changed their names just before they were deregistered, for some unfathomable reason, which leaves me wondering where their pages should go. As for The Communists, I was rather surprised to find that title unoccupied and not requiring disambiguation! And at least their name change is nowhere near as irritating as The Climate Sceptics'.

I need some help again. I just started South West Queensland and found a reference from the Department of Local Government and Planning for population at 8,200. However if I add the 6 shire populations from 2006 ABS census data I get a much higher number, 25,139. I left the first one because the lower figure matches the same area figure. I was going to add the shire areas and populations with 2010 data but the Maranoa Region has 2009 data and a much higher population figure at 114,105 alone. I know that area has seen a lot of growth from mining but it seems very high. Can you resolve this? - Shiftchange ( talk) 13:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I saw your name listed on a page linked from WP:Harrassment. I'm looking for help with an editor who I had a content dispute with. User:Arcandam keeps harrassing my talk page with warnings misconstruing every edit I make. He's done it a couple of times before ( history). I think it started with this warning template I used to him after he made unexplained, unconstructive changes to the article that we were discussing. We've been in discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hip pop, where he responded to the previous with "editsummaries suck", and he's been pretty hostile to me there. I've tried to make nice and be humble at his talk page and the discussion page, so the discussion is about the content and not our character, but he's responded with accusations, calling me ignorant about the topic of the articles I edit, and does not assume good faith because I disagree with him on certain content. One of his main accusations is that I canvassed, b/c I asked editors of music-related articles to comment on a music-related discussion, and I primarily edit those kind of articles. He uses this to undermine any logical argument I make. Both at his talk page and the discussion page, he's threatened to follow the edits I make, so isnt that sort of uncivil or wrong? He is not considering anything I say, so I'm done trying his talk page. Can you please help? He seems to respond better to others who havent debated him yet. Dan56 ( talk) 20:04, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I did submit this problem to "Editor assistance," but I have not gotten any responses. If I can be of help to restore a bit of neutrality to the Freud lead, I am happy to do it, and I know more than enough about Freud and all the related epistemic issues to be helpful, but I don't have time or energy to fight off an editor like Polisher of Cobwebs. Even if I did, I feel pessimistic that the restoration of balance would remain indefinitely on a page that treats such a divisive topic. The Freud page used to be "good" and is no longer--what would safeguard against it becoming bad again, even if I improve it? Certainly I cannot devote the same level of vigilance to it that Polisher of Cobwebs does. If you have further ideas for how to proceed or want further input from me, let me know, I guess at my Talk page? Will that generate an email alert to me?

Not leaving, but seriously questioning the administration of this site. As such I am unlikely to take on matters brought to my talk page unless they concern something I'm directly involved with or interested in.
I started here in July 2005 as an IP editor and in March 2006 as a named editor, and within 6 months of my arrival was welcomed into a local community of editors. I was fortunate to attend its first meetup, and still count a number of Perth editors as personal friends today. I've also been privileged to work with a wider community of Australian editors through the Australian WikiProject and its various sub-projects; with a wider group of editors and admins around the world; and as an elected board member of my national chapter for two years in 2009–2011. I still believe in the ideals behind Wikimedia, however, I feel that they have failed somewhere along the way at en.wikipedia. I remember hearing early last year about the Editor Trends Survey, marking a decline in contributors to en.wikipedia to a possible future level that would make even maintenance difficult let alone active content development, and I've seen the stagnation throughout much of the content on my watchlist. It seems that another hidden effect of the editor trends is an increase in the percentage of those whose main reason for being here is process rather than content. No matter where I look, process seems to be creeping in and destroying what is left of the content building that is going on. A politicised ArbCom going around desysopping people because it can, a Signpost whose " special issue" is a lowest-common-denominator political campaign worthy of Murdoch's discredited UK tabloids, a bunch of people running around telling people they can't edit content because some guideline they wrote themselves says otherwise, constant arguments about minutiae — it's all part of the same phenomenon.
And I find that sad, as someone who has worked hard for years to build content myself, and to contribute to it via the Wikimedia movement. A friend (who has been very active in advocacy and promotion in the past) recently told me he cannot in all good faith go out and encourage people to edit Wikipedia; I'm wondering that he's not mistaken. What will be here in 3 or 5 years from now? Those in charge aren't thinking about that, even though history will judge them for it. Orderinchaos 08:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

The former Shire of Melton is now a city. Not sure what else needs to be done to the article etc. to reflect this.

Hi, I am not familiar with the editing process of Wikipedia in the slightest, so I'm asking you some questions, as you were involved with the deletion of an article I believe deserves to be re-instated (re-created?), I hope this is ok! The page for Left Right Think-Tank was deleted in March 2010 for lack of notability Left_Right_Think_Tank. Left Right has significantly grown in the past years, and I believe there are sufficient verifiable, independent sources. To be clear, I most certainly have a conflict of interest, as I am a volunteer for Left Right.
What I'm asking is how I should go about this. Should I just create the page and make clear my affiliations? Should I request the creation?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of postcodes in Queensland is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of postcodes in Queensland until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Crusoe8181 ( talk) 11:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I was just about to write on your talk page to ask what you remembered from 2008 about the List of divisional boards in Queensland when I spotted your edit. I've just spent the afternoon in the Qld State Library reading: An explanation of the Divisional Boards Act : followed by the full text thereof, and the boundaries of the divisions : with alphabetical indices which lists the boards established by the 1879 Act. I found a few differences to your list (a few more and a few less), so I was wondering where your list came from, and what we might do to reconcile these various lists. I have also been using the Qld State Archives agency search to track down the history of these former LGAs, but it seems even the State Archives has a less than comprehensive coverage of this thrilling topic, but I was thinking of enlisting their help on the curly cases as they may info above and beyond what's in Archives Search. So I was hoping to collaborate and see if we can't produce the definitive list of former LGAs and the various dates and predecessor/successor organisations associated with them.

Well, I took a few of the old neighbourhood north of the airport, but it is gone, and the development which was to take its place only seems to be 5% built. I don't think I'll put them on. An extremely unexpected development on the British New Guinea side: in POM New Guinea Pidgin seems to be universally spoken now which wasn't at all the case in the '90s much less the '70s and '80s! People from German New Guinea were forbidden to cross the line into British New Guinea for decades and decades after Australia was given administrative authority by the UK in 1905 after "federation" [sic] in 1900, and then seized it from Germany at the beginning of the First World War: non-white so not permitted into "Australian" territory till the 1970s! (Odd, and certainly not accomplishing the goal, by Indonesia yet again to rename Netherlands New Guinea, now as Papua!) Weirdly, I knew splendid Australians who couldn't go home because they were married to non-whites: ethnically Chinese or Melanesian! But of course hyper-awareness of complexion colour isn't limited to the American Deep South and Australia as widely thought. In Sindh, Pakistan, anyone pale is assumed to be a rural hick; one amazes people by being able to read at all, much less speak English. And on Bougainville and in the West Solomons it was outrageous when New Guinea Highlands student teachers were posted in the houses of teachers from the UK and Canada: "How dare you have that non-black in your house?!" "Well...look at me: I'm dead white!" "Ah, you just just like white; you're black inside. We like you and want you to stay. Don't worry, we're looking for a wife for you."

As you probably know, he was eventually banned after a third arbitration case, due to the way he conducted himself in the pursuit of his main interest on Wikipedia, WP:NFCC enforcement.
What you may not know, is that he has evidently returned and has been editing as User:Werieth since 2012, in violation of that ban. After just a year, Werieth is already causing the same sort of disruption that Betacommand did - you may experience some deja vu by reading reports made about Werieth such as the one at the top of this AN archive. There are already several others. A quick perusal of Werieth's contributions will also reveal the same Betacommand-like self-assured approach, grounded in the belief that their edits are always "100% correct and 100% according to policy" (when the reality was that he made basic errors and pushed policy boundaries at a rate that, while acceptable in ordinary users for a time limited period, was found to be unacceptable in an editor with the edit rate and communication issues Betacommand had, especially given their inability to change)
I and others have already tried to expose his return via these sock puppet investigations, although as you can see, it's not getting far. That's not for the lack of an answerable case though - you can see the latest summary in this post. Most of the obstruction can be put down to the usual dysfunctional and counter-productive aspects of Wikipedia governance, which of course will always aid experienced WP:GAMErs like Betacommand.
But you may or may not be surprised to learn that the people obstructing this investigation the hardest are three admins whose own conflict of interest with regard to Betacommand/NFCC is best demonstrated in their own words - Black Kite (repeatedly deflects attention away from Werieth and onto accusers), Kww (blocks accusers, and has already unblocked Werieth once) and Future Perfect at Sunrise (has basically declared all out war on anyone who even whispers that Werieth might be Betacommand).
The purpose of this post is to raise awareness about his return, and hopefully persuade one or more of you to resubmit that SPI with the evidence I'm sure you will be able to compile using your own knowledge of Betacommand's characteristic traits. At the very least to prompt you to put his talk page on your watch lists and regularly review his contributions (although obviously, don't waste your time trying to deal with any issues you see on the flawed basis that he is just any old user).
Also obviously, you should also raise a red flag every time you see one of those three admins trying to further suppress the inevitable exposure of his ban evasion. If his return is to be covered up for an unnecessarily long time, it should at least be done simply through general incompetence, rather than obvious COI based abuse of the tools/trusted position of admin. A few emails to the arbcom members who dealt with Betacommand also probably wouldn't go amiss - if ordinary admins aren't bothered about this particular user's return (and you will remember, blinded by their enthusiasm for having someone, anyone, perform NFCC enforcement edits, a great many of them were unwilling to even admit his particular approach to that necessary work was a problem),
Betacommand's clandestine return to Wikipedia is bad enough as it is given that he has simply resumed where he left off in the NFCC enforcement field, with several users already having wasted a lot of time having to deal with him as if he were a legitimate user. But obviously the nightmare scenario if the cover-up is allowed to continue for another year, is if Werieth/Betacommand decides script assisted batch editing is not fast enough for his liking, and decides to take an altogether faster approach - possibly even trying to beat his "record".

Hi, Oic! As you may or may not know, we have four de-amalgamated shires here in Queensland effective today:
I've gone through and updated the text in all 8 of these articles showing the 4 as being now de-amalgamated. But my problems are the maps. All the de-amalgamated shires are back to their old boundaries so their maps are OK, but the maps of the regional councils from which they are de-amalgamated are not OK. The maps were created by User:Roke who appears to have left Wikipedia/Commons in 2010. I am willing to have a go at updating the maps, but I just have no idea what tools/methods were used to create the maps in the first place. So I was wondering if you know anything about how those maps were created? Thanks Kerry ( talk) 05:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I didn't just revert my previous edits. The copyright violations where corrected as far as I am aware with extensive revisions of offending paragraphs. The unencyclopedic lanaguage I guess is fair enough, but can I suggest it might be dealt with better through iterative edits given the fairly substantial contributions to the page my edits represent.

I hope you will consider creating or improving a couple LGBT-related articles about Australia in conjunction with Wiki Loves Pride. If you make any edits, let me know or add them to the results page. I don't know much about the LGBT community or gay rights in Australia, so it would do me good to learn a thing or two. :) -- Another Believer ( Talk) 02:36, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Hey Orderinchaos, You edited Transperth Fare Zone and removed all the suburbs and revised the system. I was the guy who added all the suburbs and started putting in heaps of the bus stations. Would it be fine if you could put the page back the way it was before you edited it? I believe it is more practical, as it shows all the suburbs in that zone, so people can use that as a reference. Thanks!

Hi, OIC. While reviewing some old talk archives, I stumbled on your 2007 enquiry about the Progress Party. I can't recall replying, and must have missed it at the time. Let's know if you still need info. I had a minor advisory involvement with Richardson and other PP candidates in Perth around November 1977, following a fatal tiff I had with the Libs over their financing methods in Wanneroo. Earlier in Sydney (1974-5), I arranged a meeting of Doctors Reform Party/Workers' Party local leaders Dr Cunningham (pres) and Duncan Yuille (sec) and Australian Commonwealth Party candidate Max Fabre to discuss a preventive health-care policy (to which the WP turned out to be strongly opposed!!) It's possible that I may have some documentation in my wild and woolly career archive. Cheers Bjenks ( talk) 03:34, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Mongo is giving me trouble by reverting my completely proper and minor edits on Gary Weiss. He has reverted me [1] and [2], did not start a discussion and did not engage to my beginning of a discussion.
I know how to report for edit warring, but isnt this different because the page is "on probation"? I see no instructions how to act when the probation is violated, as in this case.

Hello, Orderinchaos. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account.

Hi Orderinchaos.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, Orderinchaos! I am just working on the Treasury Building, Brisbane yet-another Queensland Heritage Register property (for which your photos have been a useful source of images for various QHR properties) when I bumped into this one which is mislabelled. It is not the Treasury Building (that is the building behind you when you took the photo) but rather the Land Administration Building.

Sorry for late reply (impromptu mini-wikibreak). I generally keep an eye on the AEC's recent decisions for general updates, although even they usually go up only about a month after the ruling. I really, really wish these minor parties would settle on one name and stick to it; I remember the Climate Change Coalition and Conservatives for Climate and Environment changed their names just before they were deregistered, for some unfathomable reason, which leaves me wondering where their pages should go. As for The Communists, I was rather surprised to find that title unoccupied and not requiring disambiguation! And at least their name change is nowhere near as irritating as The Climate Sceptics'.

I need some help again. I just started South West Queensland and found a reference from the Department of Local Government and Planning for population at 8,200. However if I add the 6 shire populations from 2006 ABS census data I get a much higher number, 25,139. I left the first one because the lower figure matches the same area figure. I was going to add the shire areas and populations with 2010 data but the Maranoa Region has 2009 data and a much higher population figure at 114,105 alone. I know that area has seen a lot of growth from mining but it seems very high. Can you resolve this? - Shiftchange ( talk) 13:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

It is possible to have locations by association rather than precise exactitude - this was going to be an off wiki discussion some days ago but you said you were hard to get hold of - at least there arent the old days of anxiety about 20 items or more for justification - I aint gonna give you a hard time - but really....

Hi. I saw your name listed on a page linked from WP:Harrassment. I'm looking for help with an editor who I had a content dispute with. User:Arcandam keeps harrassing my talk page with warnings misconstruing every edit I make. He's done it a couple of times before ( history). I think it started with this warning template I used to him after he made unexplained, unconstructive changes to the article that we were discussing. We've been in discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hip pop, where he responded to the previous with "editsummaries suck", and he's been pretty hostile to me there. I've tried to make nice and be humble at his talk page and the discussion page, so the discussion is about the content and not our character, but he's responded with accusations, calling me ignorant about the topic of the articles I edit, and does not assume good faith because I disagree with him on certain content. One of his main accusations is that I canvassed, b/c I asked editors of music-related articles to comment on a music-related discussion, and I primarily edit those kind of articles. He uses this to undermine any logical argument I make. Both at his talk page and the discussion page, he's threatened to follow the edits I make, so isnt that sort of uncivil or wrong? He is not considering anything I say, so I'm done trying his talk page. Can you please help? He seems to respond better to others who havent debated him yet. Dan56 ( talk) 20:04, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I did submit this problem to "Editor assistance," but I have not gotten any responses. If I can be of help to restore a bit of neutrality to the Freud lead, I am happy to do it, and I know more than enough about Freud and all the related epistemic issues to be helpful, but I don't have time or energy to fight off an editor like Polisher of Cobwebs. Even if I did, I feel pessimistic that the restoration of balance would remain indefinitely on a page that treats such a divisive topic. The Freud page used to be "good" and is no longer--what would safeguard against it becoming bad again, even if I improve it? Certainly I cannot devote the same level of vigilance to it that Polisher of Cobwebs does. If you have further ideas for how to proceed or want further input from me, let me know, I guess at my Talk page? Will that generate an email alert to me?

Not leaving, but seriously questioning the administration of this site. As such I am unlikely to take on matters brought to my talk page unless they concern something I'm directly involved with or interested in.
I started here in July 2005 as an IP editor and in March 2006 as a named editor, and within 6 months of my arrival was welcomed into a local community of editors. I was fortunate to attend its first meetup, and still count a number of Perth editors as personal friends today. I've also been privileged to work with a wider community of Australian editors through the Australian WikiProject and its various sub-projects; with a wider group of editors and admins around the world; and as an elected board member of my national chapter for two years in 2009–2011. I still believe in the ideals behind Wikimedia, however, I feel that they have failed somewhere along the way at en.wikipedia. I remember hearing early last year about the Editor Trends Survey, marking a decline in contributors to en.wikipedia to a possible future level that would make even maintenance difficult let alone active content development, and I've seen the stagnation throughout much of the content on my watchlist. It seems that another hidden effect of the editor trends is an increase in the percentage of those whose main reason for being here is process rather than content. No matter where I look, process seems to be creeping in and destroying what is left of the content building that is going on. A politicised ArbCom going around desysopping people because it can, a Signpost whose " special issue" is a lowest-common-denominator political campaign worthy of Murdoch's discredited UK tabloids, a bunch of people running around telling people they can't edit content because some guideline they wrote themselves says otherwise, constant arguments about minutiae — it's all part of the same phenomenon.
And I find that sad, as someone who has worked hard for years to build content myself, and to contribute to it via the Wikimedia movement. A friend (who has been very active in advocacy and promotion in the past) recently told me he cannot in all good faith go out and encourage people to edit Wikipedia; I'm wondering that he's not mistaken. What will be here in 3 or 5 years from now? Those in charge aren't thinking about that, even though history will judge them for it. Orderinchaos 08:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Howdy, I was going through some of the list of towns in WA such as Arthur River, Badgingarra, Dangin and Shackleton to start updating the population, and according to the 2011 census they have all grown in population, as have mny others I had a quick look at.

Hi, I am not familiar with the editing process of Wikipedia in the slightest, so I'm asking you some questions, as you were involved with the deletion of an article I believe deserves to be re-instated (re-created?), I hope this is ok! The page for Left Right Think-Tank was deleted in March 2010 for lack of notability Left_Right_Think_Tank. Left Right has significantly grown in the past years, and I believe there are sufficient verifiable, independent sources. To be clear, I most certainly have a conflict of interest, as I am a volunteer for Left Right.
What I'm asking is how I should go about this. Should I just create the page and make clear my affiliations? Should I request the creation?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of postcodes in Queensland is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of postcodes in Queensland until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Crusoe8181 ( talk) 11:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I was just about to write on your talk page to ask what you remembered from 2008 about the List of divisional boards in Queensland when I spotted your edit. I've just spent the afternoon in the Qld State Library reading: An explanation of the Divisional Boards Act : followed by the full text thereof, and the boundaries of the divisions : with alphabetical indices which lists the boards established by the 1879 Act. I found a few differences to your list (a few more and a few less), so I was wondering where your list came from, and what we might do to reconcile these various lists. I have also been using the Qld State Archives agency search to track down the history of these former LGAs, but it seems even the State Archives has a less than comprehensive coverage of this thrilling topic, but I was thinking of enlisting their help on the curly cases as they may info above and beyond what's in Archives Search. So I was hoping to collaborate and see if we can't produce the definitive list of former LGAs and the various dates and predecessor/successor organisations associated with them.

Well, I took a few of the old neighbourhood north of the airport, but it is gone, and the development which was to take its place only seems to be 5% built. I don't think I'll put them on. An extremely unexpected development on the British New Guinea side: in POM New Guinea Pidgin seems to be universally spoken now which wasn't at all the case in the '90s much less the '70s and '80s! People from German New Guinea were forbidden to cross the line into British New Guinea for decades and decades after Australia was given administrative authority by the UK in 1905 after "federation" [sic] in 1900, and then seized it from Germany at the beginning of the First World War: non-white so not permitted into "Australian" territory till the 1970s! (Odd, and certainly not accomplishing the goal, by Indonesia yet again to rename Netherlands New Guinea, now as Papua!) Weirdly, I knew splendid Australians who couldn't go home because they were married to non-whites: ethnically Chinese or Melanesian! But of course hyper-awareness of complexion colour isn't limited to the American Deep South and Australia as widely thought. In Sindh, Pakistan, anyone pale is assumed to be a rural hick; one amazes people by being able to read at all, much less speak English. And on Bougainville and in the West Solomons it was outrageous when New Guinea Highlands student teachers were posted in the houses of teachers from the UK and Canada: "How dare you have that non-black in your house?!" "Well...look at me: I'm dead white!" "Ah, you just just like white; you're black inside. We like you and want you to stay. Don't worry, we're looking for a wife for you."

Hello. I am contacting you because you are one of the editors/admins who is still active now, and was aware of the notoriously disruptive editor User:Betacommand, a.k.a User:Δ (Delta). As you probably know, he was eventually banned after a third arbitration case, due to the way he conducted himself in the pursuit of his main interest on Wikipedia, WP:NFCC enforcement.
What you may not know, is that he has evidently returned and has been editing as User:Werieth since 2012, in violation of that ban. After just a year, Werieth is already causing the same sort of disruption that Betacommand did - you may experience some deja vu by reading reports made about Werieth such as the one at the top of this AN archive. There are already several others. A quick perusal of Werieth's contributions will also reveal the same Betacommand-like self-assured approach, grounded in the belief that their edits are always "100% correct and 100% according to policy" (when the reality was that he made basic errors and pushed policy boundaries at a rate that, while acceptable in ordinary users for a time limited period, was found to be unacceptable in an editor with the edit rate and communication issues Betacommand had, especially given their inability to change)
I and others have already tried to expose his return via these sock puppet investigations, although as you can see, it's not getting far. That's not for the lack of an answerable case though - you can see the latest summary in this post. Most of the obstruction can be put down to the usual dysfunctional and counter-productive aspects of Wikipedia governance, which of course will always aid experienced WP:GAMErs like Betacommand.
But you may or may not be surprised to learn that the people obstructing this investigation the hardest are three admins whose own conflict of interest with regard to Betacommand/NFCC is best demonstrated in their own words - Black Kite (repeatedly deflects attention away from Werieth and onto accusers), Kww (blocks accusers, and has already unblocked Werieth once) and Future Perfect at Sunrise (has basically declared all out war on anyone who even whispers that Werieth might be Betacommand).
The purpose of this post is to raise awareness about his return, and hopefully persuade one or more of you to resubmit that SPI with the evidence I'm sure you will be able to compile using your own knowledge of Betacommand's characteristic traits. At the very least to prompt you to put his talk page on your watch lists and regularly review his contributions (although obviously, don't waste your time trying to deal with any issues you see on the flawed basis that he is just any old user).
Also obviously, you should also raise a red flag every time you see one of those three admins trying to further suppress the inevitable exposure of his ban evasion. If his return is to be covered up for an unnecessarily long time, it should at least be done simply through general incompetence, rather than obvious COI based abuse of the tools/trusted position of admin. A few emails to the arbcom members who dealt with Betacommand also probably wouldn't go amiss - if ordinary admins aren't bothered about this particular user's return (and you will remember, blinded by their enthusiasm for having someone, anyone, perform NFCC enforcement edits, a great many of them were unwilling to even admit his particular approach to that necessary work was a problem),
Betacommand's clandestine return to Wikipedia is bad enough as it is given that he has simply resumed where he left off in the NFCC enforcement field, with several users already having wasted a lot of time having to deal with him as if he were a legitimate user. But obviously the nightmare scenario if the cover-up is allowed to continue for another year, is if Werieth/Betacommand decides script assisted batch editing is not fast enough for his liking, and decides to take an altogether faster approach - possibly even trying to beat his "record".

Hi, Oic! As you may or may not know, we have four de-amalgamated shires here in Queensland effective today:
I've gone through and updated the text in all 8 of these articles showing the 4 as being now de-amalgamated. But my problems are the maps. All the de-amalgamated shires are back to their old boundaries so their maps are OK, but the maps of the regional councils from which they are de-amalgamated are not OK. The maps were created by User:Roke who appears to have left Wikipedia/Commons in 2010. I am willing to have a go at updating the maps, but I just have no idea what tools/methods were used to create the maps in the first place. So I was wondering if you know anything about how those maps were created? Thanks Kerry ( talk) 05:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I didn't just revert my previous edits. The copyright violations where corrected as far as I am aware with extensive revisions of offending paragraphs.

I hope you will consider creating or improving a couple LGBT-related articles about Australia in conjunction with Wiki Loves Pride. If you make any edits, let me know or add them to the results page. I don't know much about the LGBT community or gay rights in Australia, so it would do me good to learn a thing or two. :) -- Another Believer ( Talk) 02:36, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Hey Orderinchaos, You edited Transperth Fare Zone and removed all the suburbs and revised the system. I was the guy who added all the suburbs and started putting in heaps of the bus stations. Would it be fine if you could put the page back the way it was before you edited it? I believe it is more practical, as it shows all the suburbs in that zone, so people can use that as a reference. Thanks!

Hi, OIC. While reviewing some old talk archives, I stumbled on your 2007 enquiry about the Progress Party. I can't recall replying, and must have missed it at the time. Let's know if you still need info. I had a minor advisory involvement with Richardson and other PP candidates in Perth around November 1977, following a fatal tiff I had with the Libs over their financing methods in Wanneroo. Earlier in Sydney (1974-5), I arranged a meeting of Doctors Reform Party/Workers' Party local leaders Dr Cunningham (pres) and Duncan Yuille (sec) and Australian Commonwealth Party candidate Max Fabre to discuss a preventive health-care policy (to which the WP turned out to be strongly opposed!!) It's possible that I may have some documentation in my wild and woolly career archive. Cheers Bjenks ( talk) 03:34, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

He has reverted me [1] and [2], did not start a discussion and did not engage to my beginning of a discussion.
I know how to report for edit warring, but isnt this different because the page is "on probation"? I see no instructions how to act when the probation is violated, as in this case.

Hello, Orderinchaos. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Orderinchaos.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, Orderinchaos! I am just working on the Treasury Building, Brisbane yet-another Queensland Heritage Register property (for which your photos have been a useful source of images for various QHR properties) when I bumped into this one which is mislabelled. It is not the Treasury Building (that is the building behind you when you took the photo) but rather the Land Administration Building. The source of your confusion is easily understood as both buildings were bought by the Treasury Casino where the Treasury building houses the gaming rooms of the casino and Land Administration Building houses the associated hotel.
