Wow! Thanks. That was fast. Sometimes I forget how much faster things happen around here compared to on the other projects. :-) — Willscrlt ( “Talk” ) 12:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Since you're an admin and also experienced on Commons would you mind taking a look at the comments I left on Talk:Stay in MA, User talk:Yifanz, and File:Stayinma.jpg (which is actually commons:File:Stayinma.jpg). First, just some general feedback about how I handled that would be appreciated (may well have invested more time than it was worth in writing all that, but I always like to try to ease newbies into this whole Wikipedia thing as easily as possible if they appear to be acting in good faith). Secondly, it seems like there must be a faster/easier way to flag images hosted on commons and then notify the user on the local project. It took me a lot of searching to find the corresponding templates to use on the different projects to do something that should have been pretty simple. If the templates even had the same name, that would help a lot. Did I just take the long way around the problem? Or is it something that needs some discussion started (or perhaps some bold action) to simplify the process? Thanks!

This is to let you know that I , User:Dilip_rajeev am using account User:White_adept to edit a a couple of topics - especially the article "Sathya Sai Baba". Here I was forced to use a secondary account because any negative discussion of Sai Baba activities can invite strong reaction including physical violence from the Sai Baba cult members. And details in my primary account can help physically identify me. I had decided to contribute to this article out of sheer concern for the extent of spinning and cover up I noticed on the page.
To clarify the nature of the problem, I quote from the article" Sathya Sai Baba" itself:

Sir,
This is to point out that the allegation I was banned for, "sockpuppetry", is absolutely with without basis. The account User:White_adept is an alternate account which I maintained as per : Legitimate uses of alternative accounts,Wp:Sock - as per the Wikipedia policy: "A person editing an article which is highly controversial within his/her family, social or professional circle, and whose Wikipedia identity is known within that circle, or traceable to their real-world identity, may wish to use an alternative account to avoid real-world consequences from their involvement in that area." To further make my position clear, I had also informed the arbcom of this back in February, 2009 itself.
The account User:Researcher31 is an account created for Wikiquote - which requires an independent account. Further , I have not used either account to violate or circumvent any wikipedia policy and thus my alternate account cannot be called a WP:SOCK.' I had been quite open about it being my alternate account when queried by legitimate users: [1]

Sir, am awaiting a response from you. And I request you, most humbly, to kindly review the case and also to allow me to point out that not a single edit of mine from any of these accounts was sockpuppetry as wikipedia defines it. The other account "User:White_adept" was only an alternate account used to edit a different set of articles - and which I had maintained in conformance with the wikipedia policy which I point out and quote above. The account Researcher31 is a wikiquote account - not a wikipedia account - and I had hardly made any edits from it on wikipedia - let alone anything of a sockpuppet nature.
As for the id " User:White_adept":
Please allow me to point out again that the evidence you mentioned is only pointing to the fact that the accounts and IP are linked to my main account - there, naturally, was no evidence that I used the accounts in an abusive manner. Please look further into the case.

I strongly suspect these baseless allegations are from groups related to the Sathya Sai Baba - who donot like my contributions to the article. Kindly look into the case urgently am requesting your help here. 218.248.69.23 ( talk) 15:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Sir am forced to contribute as IP because even my talk page is blocked. Could you kindly look into it and enable at least talk page editing so that I may clarify things using my original account. I have been a long term contributor to wikipedia - and I assure you that you can trust me enough to enable talk page editing at least. I have not done a single edit of disruptive nature from any account and I really dont deserve this block that I have been given. Please look into the issue, sir..

Hi Symonds , Thanks for protecting the Indian Premier League page Subash.chandran007 ( talk) 10:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Question regarding protocol: The article discusses the writings of an author and within that article are a variety of cited sources bringing into public doubt (i.e., in other venues, books, news articles and reviews, not merely WP) the veracity of the material almost solely responsible for the subject's notability. A complaint by the subject to WP results in the deletion of an entire section dealing with that rather extensive public doubt as to the truth of the subject's main body of work. The question, then, being: is this SOP for WP, that the wishes of a public figure supersede the right of the public to know that a large and well-sourced volume of doubt exists about the truthfulness of the subject in his public statements and publications? I have an opinion, obviously, but I want to be very clear on WP guidelines. So I am asking. To me this sounds like the entire camel's hump under the tent, as far as allowing subjects to dictate what is and isn't available to readers. Will a request from Hugo Chavez result in elimination of claims of human rights abuses cited in his article? Will a request from Ben Affleck result in elimination of any mention of his famous and near-disastrous career slump of a few years ago? Is WP now merely an extension of the will of the subject of an article? I'm seriously interested in knowing the specific guidelines for editors in such cases, even if they turn out to differ from what I wish or heretofore believed. Thank you.

I don't see the need to remove the whole section, especially as the WP:BLP problems seemed to stem from one sentence - the rest either deals with the story or discusses other people's contributions. Anyway I've taken out the offending material and put the rest back but I thought it best to let you know so you can double check [3].

You blocked the wrong account. 66.204.147.253's only contribution to Boron was some garden-variety penis vandalism back in March.

Hi, Peter. Thanks for your input earlier at
WT:SPI regarding the use of {{

. Unfortunately, Tennis expert is being quite insistent in the behavior, and has now completely ceased discussion and is continuing in his behavior, and reverting any minor corrective edits to such pages (e.g.,
this). From all appearances my use of
WP:CFD to try and establish a binding consensus isn't working out. Could you give me some advice on how to proceed? Do you think it's necessary to go so far as to establish a binding policy or guideline about this? —/

Well, unsurprisingly, Tennis expert has gone through again and reverted all those changes, and is now referring to my actions as edit warring. And has reverted your edit as well, demanding that we show the consensus. Do you think this is something to bring to WP:ANI?

The deletion of the illustration is unfortunate because the original was posted on a website with no indication of its ownership. I assumed because of the scene depicted and the age of the photograph that it was an official photograph recording the construction of a prototype helicopter and assigned a PD tag from the British government. The owner is extremely angry as he assumes that there was an attempt to purloin his father's work which was never intended. Apologies all round as the editor will not communicate with me.

Hi Peter. I'm not an admin, but I do a fair amount of quality-control on Wikipedia - you've might have spotted 1 or 2 warnings I've issued in the past. We both know the system usually works very well, provided users are given fair and appropriate, escalating warnings, eventually being reported if they continue.
But it seems it can happen that the odd user is harder to rein in. Such is the case I fear with this user - would you say I've given them sufficient, clear warnings?
However, to my surprise, when I duly reported them, a single overseer apparently dismissed all my concerns in short shrift.
I think that, with your background, you too may have a contribution to make to what I had hoped might be a greater debate?
Equally, if I've missed some valid points of policy or protocol, I'd be grateful if you could point such things out to me, as you see fit. Thanks in advance for any time you could spare to this. Trafford09 ( talk) 11:28, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your closing comment.. the IP was blocked for 48 hours for "block evasion". Shouldn't it have been blocked for Sockpuppetry?

It appears from IP WHOIS that this IP owns via a personal server, the IP range 217.37.220.144 - 217.37.220.151.

Sir, I just noticed that someone is blanking my notes on your talk clarifying my case - please see your history [2] - please kindly compare the ip of this new user to the person who raised allegations of sockpuppetry against me in the first place. I strongly suspect these baseless allegations are from groups related to the Sathya Sai Baba - who donot like my contributions to the article. Kindly look into the case urgently am requesting your help here. 218.248.69.23 ( talk) 15:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Sir am forced to contribute as IP because even my talk page is blocked. Could you kindly look into it and enable at least talk page editing so that I may clarify things using my original account. I have been a long term contributor to wikipedia - and I assure you that you can trust me enough to enable talk page editing at least. I have not done a single edit of disruptive nature from any account and I really dont deserve this block that I have been given. Please look into the issue, sir..

Sir, Am forced to use this IP to contact you. My userpage is being vandalized by impersonators. I request a page protect or my userpage. I have not made any accounts to evade the block. Please see my talk. The impersonators are trying to cloud things up and get me banned.

Hi Symonds , Thanks for protecting the Indian Premier League page Subash.chandran007 ( talk) 10:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Question regarding protocol: The article discusses the writings of an author and within that article are a variety of cited sources bringing into public doubt (i.e., in other venues, books, news articles and reviews, not merely WP) the veracity of the material almost solely responsible for the subject's notability. A complaint by the subject to WP results in the deletion of an entire section dealing with that rather extensive public doubt as to the truth of the subject's main body of work. The question, then, being: is this SOP for WP, that the wishes of a public figure supersede the right of the public to know that a large and well-sourced volume of doubt exists about the truthfulness of the subject in his public statements and publications? I have an opinion, obviously, but I want to be very clear on WP guidelines. So I am asking. To me this sounds like the entire camel's hump under the tent, as far as allowing subjects to dictate what is and isn't available to readers. Will a request from Hugo Chavez result in elimination of claims of human rights abuses cited in his article? Will a request from Ben Affleck result in elimination of any mention of his famous and near-disastrous career slump of a few years ago? Is WP now merely an extension of the will of the subject of an article? I'm seriously interested in knowing the specific guidelines for editors in such cases, even if they turn out to differ from what I wish or heretofore believed. Thank you.

I don't see the need to remove the whole section, especially as the WP:BLP problems seemed to stem from one sentence - the rest either deals with the story or discusses other people's contributions. Anyway I've taken out the offending material and put the rest back but I thought it best to let you know so you can double check [3].
One question: If it can be sourced that the critical reaction to his run was poor can we add it back in? ( Emperor ( talk) 16:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC))
You blocked the wrong account. 66.204.147.253's only contribution to Boron was some garden-variety penis vandalism back in March. The account that you should have been looking at was 129.132.208.225 ( talk · contribs), which was the one that actually made the edit linked to in the diff in the sockpuppet report. ☺ The tale continues at Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents#request for a correction, by the way.

Hi, Peter. Thanks for your input earlier at
WT:SPI regarding the use of {{
IPsock}}
. Unfortunately, Tennis expert is being quite insistent in the behavior, and has now completely ceased discussion and is continuing in his behavior, and reverting any minor corrective edits to such pages (e.g.,
this). From all appearances my use of
WP:CFD to try and establish a binding consensus isn't working out. Could you give me some advice on how to proceed? Do you think it's necessary to go so far as to establish a binding policy or guideline about this? —/

Well, unsurprisingly, Tennis expert has gone through again and reverted all those changes, and is now referring to my actions as edit warring. And has reverted your edit as well, demanding that we show the consensus. Do you think this is something to bring to WP:ANI? It seems more like a candidate for WP:LAME, tbh. :-\ —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 11:44, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm just drawing your attention to the surreal conversation at User talk:JustarR24.— Kww( talk) 17:25, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
The deletion of the illustration is unfortunate because the original was posted on a website with no indication of its ownership. I assumed because of the scene depicted and the age of the photograph that it was an official photograph recording the construction of a prototype helicopter and assigned a PD tag from the British government. The owner is extremely angry as he assumes that there was an attempt to purloin his father's work which was never intended. Apologies all round as the editor will not communicate with me.

Peter, you're one of the good ones. Thank you so much for being on the alert and catching that poor user's highjacked username change request. I've totally unblocked the account including autoblocks and I've left word on her(?) page. It's a shame that these fuzz-nutted little vandals are just clever enough to disrupt the site but not smart enough to contribute anything of value. At least this poor blocked user was nice about it. Makes me feel a little better. Anyway, thanks again for the update. -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 16:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Peter. I'm not an admin, but I do a fair amount of quality-control on Wikipedia - you've might have spotted 1 or 2 warnings I've issued in the past. We both know the system usually works very well, provided users are given fair and appropriate, escalating warnings, eventually being reported if they continue.
But it seems it can happen that the odd user is harder to rein in. Such is the case I fear with this user - would you say I've given them sufficient, clear warnings?
However, to my surprise, when I duly reported them, a single overseer apparently dismissed all my concerns in short shrift.
I think that, with your background, you too may have a contribution to make to what I had hoped might be a greater debate?
Equally, if I've missed some valid points of policy or protocol, I'd be grateful if you could point such things out to me, as you see fit. Thanks in advance for any time you could spare to this. Trafford09 ( talk) 11:28, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my

Ceoil,
Noroton and
Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read
Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |

I'm repeating much of what I said on Jake Waternberg's talk page, but I wanted to make sure you saw my note... Sorry if I came across as a bit grumpy with the Quick CU. I've been dealing with MascotGuy for so long that I've gotten a little impatient when it comes to him.

I read the summary a certain way when I should have read it another way. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 04:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Peter. Could you take a look at the second request from this editor and my comments when you have a moment? Pedro : Chat 13:16, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Regarding your closing comment.. the IP was blocked for 48 hours for "block evasion". Shouldn't it have been blocked for Sockpuppetry? And seeing as how the IP has been the same user since August 15, 2008, shouldn't it be indef blocked? It appears from IP WHOIS that this IP owns via a personal server, the IP range 217.37.220.144 - 217.37.220.151. I know IPs generally aren't blocked long but is that the case for IPs that appear to never change and always be the same user? - ALLST✰R▼ echo wuz here @ 14:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
