Nikola Tesla was fully protected, but that recently expired. Prior to that, it was indefinitely semi-protected due to excessive nationalistic edits and other vandalism, and that has started up again. Could you please reinstate this protection? The vandalism is rapid and I've had to revert more than 3 times. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:22, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Can I please ask why you removed my work from my wiki page of Impact Academy. I would really like to get this resolved because what you removed was a project for one of my english classes. I can make edits to the page but you will make me flunk if I cant get that information back to its original state.
Hi Smalljim. Left you a note on my page. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 21:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, I am new to Wikipedia and this is super confusing to me.. My page, "Food Business School" was deleted. Apparently, because my username was not associated with me, as an individual... so I created a new account, hi. I would like to re-create the Food Business School page and was instructed to contact you before doing so.. Can you explain the next steps to me? Thanks

There has been a large amount of vandalism on Paul Laurence Dunbar over the past days from IPs, which you have tried to mediate. After looking at the IP accounts responsible, this looks quite poor and I did not leave an message for the IP since the situation appears something more than "standard notification" type of disruption. Do I count over 14 (fourteen) test edits in the last two days. Can you take a quick look? MusicAngels ( talk) 16:02, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Smalljim, I noticed that you blocked this account for sockpuppetry. Any idea whose sock this might be? However, he has resorted to spamming admin user pages with his sandbox draft [1] [2] via proxies. It looks like he has stopped now but perhaps we should just get an edit filter for this nonsense.

Hi,
I had created a page for a seafood company Pescafresh, which was deleted as I used the brand name while choosing my username. As I was not aware of the naming guidelines, I was under the impression that I had to create different logins for any article/content that I may submit.
Request you to please let me know how I can get that page active again.

Hi Smalljim. Could you please cast your neutral eye over the Cross Hills article. I have attempted to remove several spamlinks and promotional style editing for local businesses. I also placed a distance conversion template, removed some tautology and edited down detail on a person who died in the village nursing home, which is available on the linked article. However BlackJack keeps reverting everything. As his editing is virtually all on categories related to cricket it seems strange he is pushing these details, giving me the impression he probably lives there by his insistance on retaining promotional, non encyclopaedic material. For example the trivia on the childrens playgroup! Richard Harvey ( talk) 00:37, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Where can I have someone review your decision of deleting my brand new User's page?
While preparing in contributing to Wikipedia, I wanted people to know who I am and what I do.
I was not advertising myself as you tagged me.
I am very new here (minutes) and I as stipulated in the instructions, I linked to online material in order for readers to validate my informations.
Exactly which part of my presentation did you find inappropriate, as I am scared now to write anything in my user's page!!
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MobiDunn ( talk • contribs) 20:35, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your response, however I am well aware of what Wikipedia is, having donated money for its continuity.
We are talking about a User's page here, and it clearly says that User's page can contain personal data so the Wikipedia community can collaborate better. " if desired, limited autobiographical and personal content."
Contrary to your pretensions, that was exactly my goal and frankly I don't need a "free hosting service!" and I was NOT using my User's Page as such!
As for being "useful"like you pointed out, I believe it starts by a proper introduction via the User's Page.
I suggest the article explaining the difference between a user's page in Wikipedia be refined and made clearer.
I also suggest you review the Wikipedia article about not biting "the newcomers" as it is a violation of Wikipedia rules.
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers#Common_newcomer_errors
I am disappointed of the whole process, when it is written that User's page are different then the rest of Wikipedia and therefore contain personal information, make it clear so people know exactly how to behave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MobiDunn ( talk • contribs) 21:46, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
( edit conflict) I looked at the deleted versions too, Georgewilliamherbert, and I think it was pretty darn obvious self-promotion. It's not just actual "personal and professional info" that counts, but the style, which was adspeak and not very strong on info. "Recognized by her peers as a leader and a pioneer", etc etc? Come on. Self-promotional fluff is not a "minor technical violation" in my opinion — nothing technical about it. Also, George, you ask "Do you believe the new editor shows no sign of being interested in WP beyond using us as a MySpace etc?" Is that rhetorical? So far there has been no such sign, merely the unusual argument, above, that being useful "starts by a proper introduction via the User's Page". Plus a mention in passing of having donated to Wikipedia. I'm sorry, but that's a little crass. Anyway, I feel the user should create a new page without these features. [Adding:] Oh... I did look at the deleted versions, but I see the page has been restored as I was typing. Smalljim, I don't agree with your restoration, I think your original deletion call was good. Bishonen | talk 10:48, 1 May 2015 (UTC).
Hi Smalljim, I read you new comments and others. But I cannot seem to find where to continue commenting on the previous thread, is it possible for you to merge this note with the other? If not, I will follow your instructions and copy paste this note.
Clarifications:
Hi all, Would like to clarify both my intentions and my previous suggestion about making the User's page guidelines clearer.
Clarification on my intentions:
First of all, when I uploaded the content on my User's Page, I did it in good faith and so that you all know, I do not need to "self-promote".
From where I come from, people just don't start contributing to any projects without introducing themselves and some of their accomplishments in order to establish credibility.
The About.me page is not a "Sales Page" nor is it a "Personal Website", it is an aggregation of informations for people that want to know more on someone, that is why I linked to it.
The fact that I am part of the Internet business world, I think influenced some of the comments. If the About.me page would have about (e.g.) an artist painting sidewalks, I wonder if I would have been given the courtesy of the "benefit of the doubt".
Clearly, I did not. If you look at the steps I made yesterday: I created my account and Username and created content to introduce myself. By the time I saw that my User's page was tagged, I didn't even have the chance to understand what was wrong in it or what part, that it was already deleted.
Also, it is not treating me as having "good faith" when I see comments about me not contributing on Wikipedia when in fact, I just registered!
Furthermore, I don't agree that talking on my user's page about being a long time supporter of Wikipedia and a donator to contribute to its continuity as being "crass" and to compare Wikipedia donators to content contributors is like comparing apples and oranges. It's besides the point.
Actually, I stated I donated money to Wikipedia, in order to stimulate donation from people that might visit my User's page after reading my future contributions. On that matter, is it ok to put a link to the Wikipedia donation's page?
Wikipedia is a worldwide important project, and we cannot assume we know all of the cultural differences in presenting oneself to the community.
I understand that there must be a lot of abuse on Wikipedia but I am NOT one of them. I only want to learn and be guided to do my very best to contribute, as I contributed in the past to the Twitter platform, as a translator.
Updating the User's Page instructions:
Lastly, I have absolutely no problem in changing whatever needs changing in my User's page and I think this is a great opportunity to use this situation and to have senior contributors update the User's Page intructions, making it clearer and better.
What did I understand from all the comments?
Corrections I will make on my User's page
I will make it shorter, no mention of my About.me page, will not give examples of my professional accomplishments nor about how my peers view me in my field of expertise.
Will talk about my advocacy for Wikipedia and link to the donation's page if it is ok?
And PLEASE, if after my corrections, if someone still feels that some parts should be corrected, please just inform me and I will conform gladly.
Have a nice day all, Michelle :-)

Hello, Jim! My name is "EE", I'm writing to let you know that the user Orthodox2014 has requested moderation in the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard and I have volunteered to take on the case. Since you are the user he has complained about, I will need you to participate in the discussion and explain your position.

The request for assistance regarding My contributions to Emmanuel Lemelson and Lemelson Capital Management made at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard has been closed and archived because the request was made manually rather than through our listing form. Unfortunately, doing so breaks the page automation at DRN handled by a couple of bots and can't be allowed to remain in place. Any of the parties to the dispute should feel free to refile using the listing form available through the "Request dispute resolution" button at the top of the page, if dispute resolution is still needed.

Hello. The " Rainbow Fish-vandal" ( Никита-Родин-2002, SPI)) has returned in a new incarnation: Mya2ru ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The article is still semi-protected but the new sock has been around for a while, making various not particularly helpful edits, and is autoconfirmed. The giveaway is not only blanking Rainbow Fish but also a general obsession with anime shown in and/or produced in Russia. Thomas.W talk 13:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Would it be better to clean up the existing content or start from a clean slate? — George8211 / T 20:53, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I contest this deletion thus: there was no discussion surrounding it; another admin had placed it on his or her watchlist and had decided not to delete it; it is under the scope of WikiProject: Micronations and WikiProject: Countries. I will stop arguing if I see a discussion with concesus for deletion, including members of the aforemntioned WikiProjects. It is a micronation, and there is no reason not for it to have a page. Many other, some more ludicrus, micronations have been given pages. Please do not hesitate to ask me for evidence, photographic or text, or for further reasoning. Please remeber to follow the wiki's policies and guidlines before deleting pages - I would like for a discussion to take place.

There has been a large amount of vandalism on Paul Laurence Dunbar over the past days from IPs, which you have tried to mediate.

Hi Smalljim. Could you please cast your neutral eye over the Cross Hills article. I have attempted to remove several spamlinks and promotional style editing for local businesses. I also placed a distance conversion template, removed some tautology and edited down detail on a person who died in the village nursing home, which is available on the linked article. However BlackJack keeps reverting everything. As his editing is virtually all on categories related to cricket it seems strange he is pushing these details, giving me the impression he probably lives there by his insistance on retaining promotional, non encyclopaedic material. For example the trivia on the childrens playgroup! Richard Harvey ( talk) 00:37, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Where can I have someone review your decision of deleting my brand new User's page?
While preparing in contributing to Wikipedia, I wanted people to know who I am and what I do.
I was not advertising myself as you tagged me.
I am very new here (minutes) and I as stipulated in the instructions, I linked to online material in order for readers to validate my informations.
Exactly which part of my presentation did you find inappropriate, as I am scared now to write anything in my user's page!!
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MobiDunn ( talk • contribs) 20:35, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your response, however I am well aware of what Wikipedia is, having donated money for its continuity.
We are talking about a User's page here, and it clearly says that User's page can contain personal data so the Wikipedia community can collaborate better. " if desired, limited autobiographical and personal content."
Contrary to your pretensions, that was exactly my goal and frankly I don't need a "free hosting service!" and I was NOT using my User's Page as such!
As for being "useful"like you pointed out, I believe it starts by a proper introduction via the User's Page.
I suggest the article explaining the difference between a user's page in Wikipedia be refined and made clearer.
I also suggest you review the Wikipedia article about not biting "the newcomers" as it is a violation of Wikipedia rules.
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers#Common_newcomer_errors
I am disappointed of the whole process, when it is written that User's page are different then the rest of Wikipedia and therefore contain personal information, make it clear so people know exactly how to behave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MobiDunn ( talk • contribs) 21:46, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
( edit conflict) I looked at the deleted versions too, Georgewilliamherbert, and I think it was pretty darn obvious self-promotion. It's not just actual "personal and professional info" that counts, but the style, which was adspeak and not very strong on info. "Recognized by her peers as a leader and a pioneer", etc etc? Come on. Self-promotional fluff is not a "minor technical violation" in my opinion — nothing technical about it. Also, George, you ask "Do you believe the new editor shows no sign of being interested in WP beyond using us as a MySpace etc?" Is that rhetorical? So far there has been no such sign, merely the unusual argument, above, that being useful "starts by a proper introduction via the User's Page". Plus a mention in passing of having donated to Wikipedia. I'm sorry, but that's a little crass. Anyway, I feel the user should create a new page without these features. [Adding:] Oh... I did look at the deleted versions, but I see the page has been restored as I was typing. Smalljim, I don't agree with your restoration, I think your original deletion call was good. Bishonen | talk 10:48, 1 May 2015 (UTC).
Hi Smalljim, I read you new comments and others. But I cannot seem to find where to continue commenting on the previous thread, is it possible for you to merge this note with the other? If not, I will follow your instructions and copy paste this note.
Clarifications:
Hi all, Would like to clarify both my intentions and my previous suggestion about making the User's page guidelines clearer.
Clarification on my intentions:
First of all, when I uploaded the content on my User's Page, I did it in good faith and so that you all know, I do not need to "self-promote".
From where I come from, people just don't start contributing to any projects without introducing themselves and some of their accomplishments in order to establish credibility.
The About.me page is not a "Sales Page" nor is it a "Personal Website", it is an aggregation of informations for people that want to know more on someone, that is why I linked to it.
The fact that I am part of the Internet business world, I think influenced some of the comments. If the About.me page would have about (e.g.) an artist painting sidewalks, I wonder if I would have been given the courtesy of the "benefit of the doubt".
Clearly, I did not. If you look at the steps I made yesterday: I created my account and Username and created content to introduce myself. By the time I saw that my User's page was tagged, I didn't even have the chance to understand what was wrong in it or what part, that it was already deleted.
Also, it is not treating me as having "good faith" when I see comments about me not contributing on Wikipedia when in fact, I just registered!
Furthermore, I don't agree that talking on my user's page about being a long time supporter of Wikipedia and a donator to contribute to its continuity as being "crass" and to compare Wikipedia donators to content contributors is like comparing apples and oranges. It's besides the point.
Actually, I stated I donated money to Wikipedia, in order to stimulate donation from people that might visit my User's page after reading my future contributions. On that matter, is it ok to put a link to the Wikipedia donation's page?
Wikipedia is a worldwide important project, and we cannot assume we know all of the cultural differences in presenting oneself to the community.
I understand that there must be a lot of abuse on Wikipedia but I am NOT one of them. I only want to learn and be guided to do my very best to contribute, as I contributed in the past to the Twitter platform, as a translator.
Updating the User's Page instructions:
Lastly, I have absolutely no problem in changing whatever needs changing in my User's page and I think this is a great opportunity to use this situation and to have senior contributors update the User's Page intructions, making it clearer and better.
What did I understand from all the comments?
Corrections I will make on my User's page
I will make it shorter, no mention of my About.me page, will not give examples of my professional accomplishments nor about how my peers view me in my field of expertise.
Will talk about my advocacy for Wikipedia and link to the donation's page if it is ok?
And PLEASE, if after my corrections, if someone still feels that some parts should be corrected, please just inform me and I will conform gladly.
Have a nice day all, Michelle :-)

The request for assistance regarding My contributions to Emmanuel Lemelson and Lemelson Capital Management made at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard has been closed and archived because the request was made manually rather than through our listing form. Unfortunately, doing so breaks the page automation at DRN handled by a couple of bots and can't be allowed to remain in place.

As you'll see at [ ANI discussion], it's generally agreed that the editor Serpren is incorrect to use "Cornwall, England, UK" as a standard geographical location. I'm simply trying to repair the damage caused by his mass changes. He himself stated in that ANI case that he would not cease making similar changes. 82.41.197.51 ( talk) 16:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello,when i just opened wikipedia i found a message from you saying something about a inappropriate amendment i had made to a page about some lady called Margaret Calvert. I have never visisted this page,and am slightly perturbed that someone else mifght be editing for me, i'm not a user, im just an IP address, the only editing i have ever done has been on age and longevity related pages, which is an interest of mine, i would never edit stuff i dont know about, so i don't know what's happened in this instance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.194.185 ( talk) 00:57, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I encountered this user at Leibniz's notation, and looked at his contribs. Seems like it's a new sockpuppet of User:Super2510LOL.

Hi Jim. I believe, though I can't locate the relevant bit of Wiki-scripture, that it's customary to also block editing for named accounts through open proxies. Cheers! Favonian ( talk) 09:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

@ Babitaarora: can you tell smalljim in a big way that CosmicEmperor is a sockmaster. He is vandalizing Hero and Villain with an IP 62.253.68.162. CE is logging out to blank the page and logs in to revert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/62.253.68.162

Thanks for protecting
Caspar Lee. Was getting impossible to keep up with the reverts--had to make a split-second choice where to revert to before I hit an editing conflict again half the time.
Also thanks for reverting back to a good version—had just noticed the same thing and was about to do the same. AddWittyNameHere ( talk) 20:58, 6 June 2015 (UTC) |
It is an edit war between multiple editors. 213.229.101.59 ( talk) 18:40, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Hallo Smalljim, just a reminder to check that the version you're reverting to after vandalism is itself a non-vandalised version. Two different IPs had been messing around with Chickadee and in this edit you reverted one, but not both, of them - leaving the birds teleporting and much else. Thanks, Pam D 20:44, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Smalljim. In February, you gave Infossgindia a level 4im warning for various issues. The user has just created a new article, Complementary and Alternative Medicines from copyrighted copypasta. I have already tagged for speedy deletion with link to original content. Thank you, Optakeover (Talk) 12:00, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Smalljim. You visited my recently created page, Nothophantes horridus, and were kind enough to add the edit comment ‘Great new article! Add 2 cats to claim it for Devon :)’. Many thanks! I was wondering if you think the page is worth nominating for ‘Did You Know’? Can’t be often that a tiny spider just 2.5mm long stops a housing development! If you think the article is up to scratch would you be able to nominate it, or is that something I can/should do myself? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give me. JezGrove ( talk) 08:25, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
@ JezGrove: That's good feedback you got on the horrid spider, and we can look forward to seeing it on the front page pretty soon once you've tweaked it a bit as requested. Regarding the review that you did - I wouldn't worry about it any further. He's thanked you for your input and a DYK regular will be along to check it for him: sometimes it is an incremental process. Keep an eye on that nomination to see what else is said and you might learn something for next time! Hope this helps, — SMALL JIM 17:38, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Why did you just revert my reversions? I left an explanation on the talk page of why I did these things. A user had posted incorrect information about the Academy. How can I correct these inaccuracies? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.224.124.130 ( talk) 13:15, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Smalljim, could you please consider blocking this persistent IP vandal indefinitely. You yourself have reverted their disruptive edits on various So Fresh related pages. Given their long history of abuse, I feel that a block this severe is warranted. Thanks. JayJ47 ( talk) 02:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
hi Smalljim, it seems this vandal has now moved on to using these types of addresses: 49.181.202.83, 49.181.203.207. Is there any way we could somehow block this user indefinitely? I'd imagine the IP addresses he's been using have all originated from the same location, so is there such a thing as a location block, like a residential address? JayJ47 ( talk) 06:06, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
I think you made a mistake with the block; would you mind returning to WP:AN and seeing my rationale, and responding if you see fit? It's basically the same as my rationale for not-blocking him some hours earlier, expanded somewhat. Nyttend ( talk) 14:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I saw the other day you blocked User:WhyDoesSheRefuseToMakeLoveToMe for being a vandal only account. I've seen recently a number of accounts, all with the same relative theme in the username behaving in the same manner: Creating an article regarding who the slept with, then randomly tagging pages with a CSD tag. Is there a way to search users by username, as I'm wondering if a SPI needs to be created or an abuse report? I could be simply making something out of nothing as well.

I love my Justin beiber. I respect your beliefs but you are not respecting mine. You are ready to block me because I love my hero. Please don't blovk me.

Hello. The " Rainbow Fish-vandal" ( Никита-Родин-2002, SPI)) has returned in a new incarnation: Mya2ru ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The article is still semi-protected but the new sock has been around for a while, making various not particularly helpful edits, and is autoconfirmed.

This here is not acceptable. Unblock requests are supposed to be handled by separate admins. Furthermore, the appeal was valid, the information in it was correct and one gang of editors all breached WP:BLANKING which the anon did not. -- Doctor McMillain ( talk) 17:28, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Academic.edu can be a menace to good sourcing. People find stuff there and just add a link, no author, no title, etc. A lot of stuff there isn't published, eg the source used for the edit you reverted.

Bongwarrior has been under attack for days (weeks) now by socks using variations on their username. While blocking them you just blocked Bongwarrior as well using WP:NOTHERE as a reason.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Comins Mansfield, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tiverton. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Would it be better to clean up the existing content or start from a clean slate? — George8211 / T 20:53, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I contest this deletion thus: there was no discussion surrounding it; another admin had placed it on his or her watchlist and had decided not to delete it; it is under the scope of WikiProject: Micronations and WikiProject: Countries. I will stop arguing if I see a discussion with concesus for deletion, including members of the aforemntioned WikiProjects. It is a micronation, and there is no reason not for it to have a page. Many other, some more ludicrus, micronations have been given pages. Please do not hesitate to ask me for evidence, photographic or text, or for further reasoning. Please remeber to follow the wiki's policies and guidlines before deleting pages - I would like for a discussion to take place.

You are certainly around more than me here (& I don't know any Cornish admins...).
