I am having consistant problems with the 75.170 range on the WGGH page. For the past year, it has been the same repeated vandalism over and over and over. It is tiresome. I have, again, requested page protection (got it last time), but I think a rangeblock is needed. Could you take a look at the history and see if a rangeblock can be put in place? Thanks...

Hi. Just to explain that ref in episode 3. I inserted that a few weeks ago, before the series had started to be broadcast. At that time we needed references. Now that the show has aired, the information is now verifiable by the primary source. I didn't bother to remove the ref myself after "The Great Game" had been transmitted (it was doing no harm), but I guess User:Xeworlebi is justified in removing it. Cheers.

andI think it's real nice that you've got each others back and everything, but rather than have a discussion about me here might I suggest it would be more WP:CIVIL to discuss your views at the ANI. TFOWR - Just so you know, I noticed the IP's comments pretty much straight after you reverted them - and I am glad you did, because having done a little research I have learnt they couldn't be further from the truth. Personally, I think there is no need for this to continue, but all my comments are at the ANI and I would be grateful if you could take this discussion there too.

Hi, just a quick one for you - I wouldn't mind a second opinion on Knafo Klimor Architects if you have time. (Its new, but carefully written - I think it could be aimed at PR. I had removed some content but was reverted. Not willing to start an edit war, I thought I'd check with someone else.) Cheers Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 00:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, but I think you went too far.
I can see how commenting directly, like saying "xyz is an unsubtle abc nationalist arsehole" is wrong, damaging and punishable. Fine. I agree.
But, at the same time, asking what someone's qualifications and experience is fair and valid in a situation which requires some expertise.
There is a saying in the bikers' world, "Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one" and that is true, without one we really would be full of shit. It means, "opinions" really are not that special, valuable or important. What is required is expert knowledge and experience; knowing how to ask for it and when to defer to it.
HighKing is obviously clever enough and is investing his cleverness into his pet project (to whatever end he might intend) but does he know anything about that specific issue at hand? The answer to that is an obvious no and so, really, he should withdraw from any area where he does not.
"Cleverness" can be useful and benign. It can also be used wastefully, manipulative and malevolently. In my short time, I have seen there a lot of "cleverness" being misused on this website.
You as an admin, if you also do not have expert knowledge in any area you chose to engage yourself in, really ought to learn how to value, recognise and ask for expert knowledge first --- not be pushed about or manipulated by cleverness. The truth is, you do not need to know everything in life IF you can just learn how to ask and recognise expert knowledge and experience first. -- Triton Rocker ( talk) 05:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Since you're an admin, we were wondering if you could help at List of European countries and territories. There was a consensus to move to a new title.

I'm not getting into the middle of the hash/de-hash dispute here (which should perhaps be taken up at WT:RFA), but when you made this edit, were you aware of this; the fact that their other oppose votes have also been nullified; and the fact that there has already been some back and forth over the Dabomb87 oppose in particular?

Hello TFOWR ,
I apologize to bother you again. Beeshoney, the same user who caused problem in Kourosh Zolani’s AfD discussion by deleting big part of the comments has nominated many Iranian musicians articles for speedy deletion today. Here are links to two pages of names (page 1) and (page 2). She is proposing to delete almost all the history of Iranian classical music from WP. Many of these articles are not biographies of living people. They are master musicians with prominent roles in the history of Iranian classical music since centuries ago. Is there any policy in WP to stop this user’s strange behavior? Thank you, Sozlati ( talk) 19:01, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
This little bugger has been running amok on a dynamic IP the last few days. Thought you should know and he's been targeting me, User:Favonian, User:Jac16888 and User:Syrthiss. Tommy! message 22:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. I have put a good deal of time into non-western classical music and have posted to AfD only for this reason. I notice that all editors with knowledge of the field have supported retention of the page. I also note that no editor has who supported deletion has worked in this region of wiki. I further note that a good deal of inaccurate data has been offered in support of deletion, and incivility, and that standards have been set that given editors do not set for matters that interest themselves. I have noted language that suggests, as I have before had reason to believe, that a few editors actually enjoy destroying others' work, and habitually complain of missing data while discouraging further work. I have had reason to believe that one editor is mounting an attack on all things Iranian.
I do not address these: I address the one editor who has attempted some rigour in proposing deletion but failed due to some of the above-mentioned conditions, chiefly to entire lack of knowledge of musical terminology. The above matters are clearly of relevance to the discussion and I have stated them in ways that fall far short of the unpleasant tone and language of some respondents. I demonstrated assumption of good faith by inviting the editor to examine and review such standards and assertions in the interests of the outcome I consider just. The editor is new - and has begun backing deletions after having had own article deleted. We are all vulnerable to attempting editing beyond our range and unknowingly judging ourselves and others differently. The subject to which (s)he has chosen to contribute, perhaps, unfortunately, when detailed by me, may appear to reflect badly upon the editor: I cannot help that, though I have my own doubts about notability.
I appreciate threats and accusations as little as you yourself do, and therefore invite you also to review your language and approach in this light, while thanking you warmly for your efforts on behalf of wikipedia which, I believe, is a matter of good faith that you and I may share.

Hi.
This has been brought up before, received well enough, and then left hanging.
At present there are 4 or more pages all with a combination of ongoing and stale policy talk and specific examples going back years, added to which there is now archiving going on by more than one person --- God knows where, e.g. here
Part of this problem I think, being HighKing's baby, is the High King of Ireland's overly complex mental structuring.
It needs to simplified and clarified for we lesser mortals. There needs to be a clear record of previous decision and archives.
At present we have:
I propose:
I see plenty of models for the archiving of administrative pages elsewhere, with boxes etc, but I have no idea how to make them. (I also don't know how to make a page without a talk page. Perhaps one cant).

"Richwales, you've seriously been trying to mediate this for two months? That's service above and beyond the call of duty." Actually, it's more like I tried a couple of months ago, and went away / gave up, and then decided to try again now. I should probably have escalated the matter in early July — once it became clear that the underlying problem really hadn't gone away — but at least now it's getting more attention and can hopefully be resolved somehow. The next time I end up getting involved in something like this, I'll try to be bolder about escalating it and not let it just fester like I did this time. "Live and learn", as they say.

As the main administrator on the BISE, I'd like your opinion on this article. In my opinion it is a content fork from Malay Archipelago, and something that apparently was quite widespread, I found it on articles like Lesser Sunda Islands. The main claim (as far as I can tell archivewise) to include it is that it is different from the Malay Archipelago in that it includes Peninsula Malaysia. However, this is not even said on that page, instead separating it from what they call "Mainland Southeast Asia" which pipelinks to Indochina of all things. I also found this on Southeast Asia#Geography where it says Mainland southeast asia is synonymous with Indochina, which is obviously false. I mean, right under that, it says that Peninsula Malaysia is part of Mainland Southeast asia as opposed to the Maritime, which is against the apparent difference suggested. I've googled, and sources I've found seem to say they are synonymous (example [2]), and nothing giving the apparent difference. It seems very similar to the Whole British Isles situation, with a politicization of a Geographical term. Thought I'd get your opinion on this, sorry.

2 day mizabot? The life of an admin must be exceedingly difficult. Anyway, reiterating my previous obnoxious request to have you look over the article/topic. Found this source [4] which talks about what I think is the apparent difference, but even it calls "Marintime Southeast Asia" the Malay archipelago:
In a complete coincidence, I actually read a book excerpt about the Filipino Jose Rizal, and the article called him "the pride of the Malay race". This caused a discussion with a couple of filipinos about whether Filipinos were "Malay". Historically, it seems the whole area, from southern Thailand to the islands near New Guinea were known as Malay people by Europeans. Then of course Europeans divvied it up and resulting new nations sought to separate their identities. Just trying to relate it to the British Isles case, as I hope that will help you. Thanks. Chipmunkdavis ( talk) 14:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC) How's this for coincidence [5]? That was just added to Malay archipelago. The word "anachronistic" worries me though, NPOV wise.

TFOWR I've just read that reply
[9] by Triton Rocker and that is enough. I have commented on 3 different occassions as an uninvolved sysop without taking action and have been accused by both 'sides' of taking the 'other side' each time (and each time I have seen editors from the BISE page come in and derail threads - hence my draconian attitude). I understand that you & Black Kite are trying to work productively with this group but you can't impose sanctions and not enforce them. The reasoning behind having limited sanctions as the one TR is operating under is to encourage productive editing and reduce the poisonous atmosphere. Comment's like TR's last are inappropriate under wp:civil and also in breach of his editing restriction. Also the specific claim made against me (based solely on nationality) is WAY out of line. I want to give you time to consider that remark by TR in light of site policy and his editing restriction and my post here as I'm considering escalating it (I see that you are very busy here and in RL, as am I, and if you would prefer I simply escalate it that's fine). I am not prepared to allow anyone (including myself) to be the target of accusations of bad faith based on where they come from.
Also separately that post by TR shows what I was saying at ANi - that this user 'doesn't get it' about their restriction or site policy.
I'm sorry to give such an ultimatum and it's not personal (I think you and BK are doing your best) but frankly that kind of comment from TR is just not acceptable on wikipedia. Alone that comment violates WP:NPA, WP:AGF, WP:TPNO and probably could be called a misuse of
unblock process or talk page use while blocked.
This dispute is needless and has gone on to long. I gave HighKing and MidnightBlueMan some rope earlier this year so that the WP:BISE page could be used, in their terms, to create a proposal for the WP:MOS - this never happened. It also turned out that there was sockpuppetry involved in this dispute on both sides (MidnightBlueMan & User:Þjóðólfr). My position is this if I see these editors (from either side) misbehave further I wont be as lenient as you. There are editors who manage to use the WP:BISE page productively and civilly even when they disagree - there are others (on both sides) who don't and if they don't they need to be 'put out of the pool'.--

Still no end in sight, I'm afraid. In addition to posting pleas for more participation on a couple of OrthodoxWiki.org talk pages, I posted something over there on the user talk page of an Orthodox priest who briefly showed up on WP a couple of days ago to comment on a different subtopic of this issue. And a few minutes ago, I posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Theology asking for more participation; too early to say what that will accomplish. It looks right now like LoveMonkey is convinced his sources say what he thinks they say, but one reason we need more editors who are knowledgeable about the subject is so we can be confident that we have a well-rounded set of sources and that our understanding of what the sources are saying is not all going through the perception filter of a single editor (no matter how well-meaning he might be).

Could you take a quick look at Anthony LaPanta for me? A sysop recently removed my BLP prod multiple times because it contained an ImDB link, stating that recent discussion (which is thus far a discussion involving 3 people, starting yesterday) has determined that BLPPROD should be a "yes or no" for sourcing, despite the fact that that directly conflicts with the WP:BLPPROD policy page. I've tried discussing it on his talk page, but he doesn't seem to be open to debate on the matter, and has reverted me enough times that I don't want to perpetuate an edit war by readding it further.

You blocked ILuvAMRadio as a sockpuppet. There is now an unblock request at User talk:ILuvAMRadio, with the user denying sockpuppetry. I have looked at all of this accounts edits, and a large sample of edits of SkagitRiverQueen, the supposed sockpuppeteer, and I can't find any convincing evidence. There are two articles and one talk page they have both edited, but even there their edits don't look obviously similar to me. Also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SkagitRiverQueen does not, as far as I can see, mention ILuvAMRadio. However, you are probably better acquainted with the case than I am, and perhaps you know of evidence that I have missed, so perhaps you could look back at it. I shall put the unblock request on hold pending your revisiting it. JamesBWatson ( talk) 16:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Please look over Triton Rockers latest postings at BISE. They are unacceptable, as is the edit summary of "HighKing's nuts". -- HighKing ( talk) 10:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
I note your indefinite block on Triton Rocker and I'm wondering if you've misread the situation. Firstly, his edit summary "HighKing's nuts": HighKing made an inaccurate point about conkers, stating that they are not named as such in Ireland (this is incorrect, they are so named in Ireland). Conkers are actually nuts in the normal sense of the word (see the picture at Nut (fruit)) so Triton was adding an accurate edit summary linking HighKing to the nuts of the discussion. Accordingly, I cannot see what the problem is with this edit summary; maybe I'm missing something. On the other matter, what Triton says is absolutely accurate (and you know it). Furthermore, it is a mild accusation and in no way warrants any sort of block, let alone an indef one. Good luck with AN/I on this one. All I can say is that it will yield many pages of crap debate - again. LevenBoy ( talk) 11:41, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but I think you went too far.
I can see how commenting directly, like saying "xyz is an unsubtle abc nationalist arsehole" is wrong, damaging and punishable. Fine. I agree.
But, at the same time, asking what someone's qualifications and experience is fair and valid in a situation which requires some expertise.
There is a saying in the bikers' world, "Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one" and that is true, without one we really would be full of shit. It means, "opinions" really are not that special, valuable or important. What is required is expert knowledge and experience; knowing how to ask for it and when to defer to it.
HighKing is obviously clever enough and is investing his cleverness into his pet project (to whatever end he might intend) but does he know anything about that specific issue at hand? The answer to that is an obvious no and so, really, he should withdraw from any area where he does not.
"Cleverness" can be useful and benign. It can also be used wastefully, manipulative and malevolently. In my short time, I have seen there a lot of "cleverness" being misused on this website.
You as an admin, if you also do not have expert knowledge in any area you chose to engage yourself in, really ought to learn how to value, recognise and ask for expert knowledge first --- not be pushed about or manipulated by cleverness. The truth is, you do not need to know everything in life IF you can just learn how to ask and recognise expert knowledge and experience first. -- Triton Rocker ( talk) 05:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello TFOWR ,
I apologize to bother you again. Beeshoney, the same user who caused problem in Kourosh Zolani’s AfD discussion by deleting big part of the comments has nominated many Iranian musicians articles for speedy deletion today. Here are links to two pages of names (page 1) and (page 2). She is proposing to delete almost all the history of Iranian classical music from WP. Many of these articles are not biographies of living people. They are master musicians with prominent roles in the history of Iranian classical music since centuries ago. Is there any policy in WP to stop this user’s strange behavior? Thank you, Sozlati ( talk) 19:01, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
This little bugger has been running amok on a dynamic IP the last few days. Thought you should know and he's been targeting me, User:Favonian, User:Jac16888 and User:Syrthiss. Tommy! message 22:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. I have put a good deal of time into non-western classical music and have posted to AfD only for this reason. I notice that all editors with knowledge of the field have supported retention of the page. I also note that no editor has who supported deletion has worked in this region of wiki. I further note that a good deal of inaccurate data has been offered in support of deletion, and incivility, and that standards have been set that given editors do not set for matters that interest themselves. I have noted language that suggests, as I have before had reason to believe, that a few editors actually enjoy destroying others' work, and habitually complain of missing data while discouraging further work. I have had reason to believe that one editor is mounting an attack on all things Iranian.
I do not address these: I address the one editor who has attempted some rigour in proposing deletion but failed due to some of the above-mentioned conditions, chiefly to entire lack of knowledge of musical terminology. The above matters are clearly of relevance to the discussion and I have stated them in ways that fall far short of the unpleasant tone and language of some respondents. I demonstrated assumption of good faith by inviting the editor to examine and review such standards and assertions in the interests of the outcome I consider just. The editor is new - and has begun backing deletions after having had own article deleted. We are all vulnerable to attempting editing beyond our range and unknowingly judging ourselves and others differently. The subject to which (s)he has chosen to contribute, perhaps, unfortunately, when detailed by me, may appear to reflect badly upon the editor: I cannot help that, though I have my own doubts about notability.
I appreciate threats and accusations as little as you yourself do, and therefore invite you also to review your language and approach in this light, while thanking you warmly for your efforts on behalf of wikipedia which, I believe, is a matter of good faith that you and I may share.

Hi.
This has been brought up before, received well enough, and then left hanging.
At present there are 4 or more pages all with a combination of ongoing and stale policy talk and specific examples going back years, added to which there is now archiving going on by more than one person --- God knows where, e.g. here
Part of this problem I think, being HighKing's baby, is the High King of Ireland's overly complex mental structuring.
It needs to simplified and clarified for we lesser mortals. There needs to be a clear record of previous decision and archives.
At present we have:
I propose:
I see plenty of models for the archiving of administrative pages elsewhere, with boxes etc, but I have no idea how to make them. (I also don't know how to make a page without a talk page. Perhaps one cant).

"Richwales, you've seriously been trying to mediate this for two months? That's service above and beyond the call of duty." Actually, it's more like I tried a couple of months ago, and went away / gave up, and then decided to try again now. I should probably have escalated the matter in early July — once it became clear that the underlying problem really hadn't gone away — but at least now it's getting more attention and can hopefully be resolved somehow. The next time I end up getting involved in something like this, I'll try to be bolder about escalating it and not let it just fester like I did this time. "Live and learn", as they say.

As the main administrator on the BISE, I'd like your opinion on this article. In my opinion it is a content fork from Malay Archipelago, and something that apparently was quite widespread, I found it on articles like Lesser Sunda Islands. The main claim (as far as I can tell archivewise) to include it is that it is different from the Malay Archipelago in that it includes Peninsula Malaysia. However, this is not even said on that page, instead separating it from what they call "Mainland Southeast Asia" which pipelinks to Indochina of all things. I also found this on Southeast Asia#Geography where it says Mainland southeast asia is synonymous with Indochina, which is obviously false. I mean, right under that, it says that Peninsula Malaysia is part of Mainland Southeast asia as opposed to the Maritime, which is against the apparent difference suggested. I've googled, and sources I've found seem to say they are synonymous (example [2]), and nothing giving the apparent difference. It seems very similar to the Whole British Isles situation, with a politicization of a Geographical term. Thought I'd get your opinion on this, sorry. If you're on holiday and don't want to bother with this, not exactly an urgent matter. Thank you. Chipmunkdavis ( talk) 09:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

2 day mizabot? The life of an admin must be exceedingly difficult. Anyway, reiterating my previous obnoxious request to have you look over the article/topic. Found this source [4] which talks about what I think is the apparent difference, but even it calls "Marintime Southeast Asia" the Malay archipelago:
In a complete coincidence, I actually read a book excerpt about the Filipino Jose Rizal, and the article called him "the pride of the Malay race". This caused a discussion with a couple of filipinos about whether Filipinos were "Malay". Historically, it seems the whole area, from southern Thailand to the islands near New Guinea were known as Malay people by Europeans. Then of course Europeans divvied it up and resulting new nations sought to separate their identities. Just trying to relate it to the British Isles case, as I hope that will help you. Thanks. Chipmunkdavis ( talk) 14:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC) How's this for coincidence [5]? That was just added to Malay archipelago. The word "anachronistic" worries me though, NPOV wise.

TFOWR I've just read that reply
[9] by Triton Rocker and that is enough. I have commented on 3 different occassions as an uninvolved sysop without taking action and have been accused by both 'sides' of taking the 'other side' each time (and each time I have seen editors from the BISE page come in and derail threads - hence my draconian attitude). I understand that you & Black Kite are trying to work productively with this group but you can't impose sanctions and not enforce them. The reasoning behind having limited sanctions as the one TR is operating under is to encourage productive editing and reduce the poisonous atmosphere. Comment's like TR's last are inappropriate under wp:civil and also in breach of his editing restriction. Also the specific claim made against me (based solely on nationality) is WAY out of line. I want to give you time to consider that remark by TR in light of site policy and his editing restriction and my post here as I'm considering escalating it (I see that you are very busy here and in RL, as am I, and if you would prefer I simply escalate it that's fine). I am not prepared to allow anyone (including myself) to be the target of accusations of bad faith based on where they come from.
Also separately that post by TR shows what I was saying at ANi - that this user 'doesn't get it' about their restriction or site policy.
I'm sorry to give such an ultimatum and it's not personal (I think you and BK are doing your best) but frankly that kind of comment from TR is just not acceptable on wikipedia. Alone that comment violates WP:NPA, WP:AGF, WP:TPNO and probably could be called a misuse of
unblock process or talk page use while blocked.
This dispute is needless and has gone on to long. I gave HighKing and MidnightBlueMan some rope earlier this year so that the WP:BISE page could be used, in their terms, to create a proposal for the WP:MOS - this never happened. It also turned out that there was sockpuppetry involved in this dispute on both sides (MidnightBlueMan & User:Þjóðólfr). My position is this if I see these editors (from either side) misbehave further I wont be as lenient as you. There are editors who manage to use the WP:BISE page productively and civilly even when they disagree - there are others (on both sides) who don't and if they don't they need to be 'put out of the pool'.--

Still no end in sight, I'm afraid. In addition to posting pleas for more participation on a couple of OrthodoxWiki.org talk pages, I posted something over there on the user talk page of an Orthodox priest who briefly showed up on WP a couple of days ago to comment on a different subtopic of this issue. And a few minutes ago, I posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Theology asking for more participation; too early to say what that will accomplish. It looks right now like LoveMonkey is convinced his sources say what he thinks they say, but one reason we need more editors who are knowledgeable about the subject is so we can be confident that we have a well-rounded set of sources and that our understanding of what the sources are saying is not all going through the perception filter of a single editor (no matter how well-meaning he might be).

You blocked ILuvAMRadio as a sockpuppet. There is now an unblock request at User talk:ILuvAMRadio, with the user denying sockpuppetry. I have looked at all of this accounts edits, and a large sample of edits of SkagitRiverQueen, the supposed sockpuppeteer, and I can't find any convincing evidence. There are two articles and one talk page they have both edited, but even there their edits don't look obviously similar to me. Also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SkagitRiverQueen does not, as far as I can see, mention ILuvAMRadio. However, you are probably better acquainted with the case than I am, and perhaps you know of evidence that I have missed, so perhaps you could look back at it.

Please look over Triton Rockers latest postings at BISE. They are unacceptable, as is the edit summary of "HighKing's nuts". -- HighKing ( talk) 10:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
I note your indefinite block on Triton Rocker and I'm wondering if you've misread the situation. Firstly, his edit summary "HighKing's nuts": HighKing made an inaccurate point about conkers, stating that they are not named as such in Ireland (this is incorrect, they are so named in Ireland). Conkers are actually nuts in the normal sense of the word (see the picture at Nut (fruit)) so Triton was adding an accurate edit summary linking HighKing to the nuts of the discussion. Accordingly, I cannot see what the problem is with this edit summary; maybe I'm missing something. On the other matter, what Triton says is absolutely accurate (and you know it). Furthermore, it is a mild accusation and in no way warrants any sort of block, let alone an indef one. Good luck with AN/I on this one. All I can say is that it will yield many pages of crap debate - again. LevenBoy ( talk) 11:41, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
