Greetings one and all. For some of you, this will be your first time receiving one of these messages, as it has been a year since the WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week (COTW) was a regular thing. My hope is it gets back to being a regular thing.
Usually I would go over the past COTW, but we are basically starting out anew. So, without further adieu, this edition is our semi-annual picture drive. We usually try to do it when there is decent weather in the state, and today seems to fit the bill. Now although you are encouraged to go out and take pictures, you can also just search the internet for images that have the proper licensing and upload those. Flickr is one site that has a fair amount of content with the proper licensing (most images on Flickr are not compatible). See WP:COPYRIGHT in general. For some “free” sources, check out the our dormant subproject that has some links to sources.
Lastly, if you need to know what images we need, here are the requests. Please remove the request from the talk page if you add an image.
Finally (this is not image related), as the years have passed, we have lost many good editors, and others, like myself, are no longer in school or are working full-time or both, and thus are less active in the project. The project lives on, but it has created a bit of a power vacuum without a de facto cabal still around all the time. With that in mind, I encourage newer project members to step-up and fill some leadership type roles. Granted, we have no formal ruling junta or anything and no real defined roles, but there are many maintenance type tasks that some of us just took on to keep the project going. For instance, I ran the COTW, was pretty much the only one doing assessments, updating the portal, and even handing out the awards. I am sure others in the project can name what things they have done. The point being, that while I enjoyed those and still do some of those, I simply no longer have the free time to do all of it at a level that the project deserves. That said, I hope to start a discussion at WT:ORE where we can see if some newer editors would like to step-up and take on some of these tasks, which will hopefully make for a more inclusive project, and maybe get us back to the heyday of say 2008 when things were really rocking for WikiProject Oregon.
As always, please click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies ( talk) 22:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Tiptoety. On July 2nd, you blocked User:WikiAlphaBot, a spam-bot that was sending annoying emails to registered users. This morning, I recieved a similar email from User:WikiAlphaRobot. I have raised the issue at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WikiAlphaBot, but since you familiar with the situation I thought I would let you know as well.

User:Wuzzupbob created their account yesterday, and began their contributions with two apologies [1] [2] for their past actions as User:Dodgechris.
Dodgechris is still indefinitely blocked without talk page access, for extensive sockpuppeting. Their talk page has comments from yourself that there will be "no second chance this time". However, three years is quite a long time (although I haven't checked if any of the sockpuppets are more recent than that), and it's very easy for someone's behaviour to change substantially in that time, especially at the age implied by some of the sockpuppet usernames.
Perhaps you could offer some thoughts on a way forward. They've said on my talk page that they will refrain from editing with the new account, in the meantime. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 14:18, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

I may be missing something, but it seems User:47man4747 is still using User:76.211.237.25 to insert unsourced info into Hip Hop. I thought it would be proper to let you know since you blocked him/her. - 199.173.225.33 ( talk) 13:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Hopefully what I posted here about the whole Jack Rose (guitarist) thing got blocked or you just deleted it and ignored it. Nonetheless, I will apologize for getting way, way too over-emotional and being a complete jerk. Esp. to someone who asks for "Knock, Knock" jokes on their talk page (I'm going to borrow that, if that's OK?) I hope it got blocked and you didn't read it. Rob and I just talked to Jack's widow and she said "play nice or don't play".
So attacking editors I would like to apologize for, but would also like to understand. In other words, Editor A comes along, writes article, most of it is wrong. There's a few references but not many (somehow when I don't have every single thing references, my articles get Speedy Deleted.) I try to correct things, but it's a very sore subject. So I leave some uncalled for comments. But that shouldn't mean my factual changes should be removed. Maybe I need to be removed, but not the real facts. Does this make sense? Because I'm confused. It seems like if bad Editor A creates or takes over an article, they get to rule with an iron fist, and factual changes can't be made.
1. What's the proper way to deal with bad editors? I mean, people who write articles, or take them over, but the info is just completely wrong? 2. Rob Vaughn, the one who played with Pelt 1997-1999, and who their CD Rob's Choice is named after, is standing behind me, making sure I'm not being a jerk. 3. Can he create an account, he's not sure if he has one, and access through the same IP address, since we just have one DSL router and fixed IP for the whole office.
Again, my sincere apologies. And Rob apologies as well. And says I should offer you a gift or something? I am a total jerk, and not into Bad Karma. So very, very sorry. :( — WinkJunior ( talk) 17:02, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
P.S. I don't want to be a WP:DIVA but after reading that article... it kinda burns a bit, y'know, realizing that I'm acting like a WP:DIVA. Reading that article? Looking in a mirror.
So sorry x 1000. I'm logging off and letting Rob V. create an account and try to address the Pelt / Jack Rose stuff. And I'll try to stay logged off until I can stop being a "diva". Sheesh, I am an idiot. Sincere apologies! — WinkJunior ( talk) 17:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

I've seen your username around here quite often, and I thought you might be able to give me some advice. Ever since I restarted Wikipedia, I've liked fighting vandalism.

Euclidthegreek ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
We have an unblock request from Euclidthegreek, an editor you indefblocked in August 2009 following a string of bad joke articles and other shenanigans. Their first unblock request was unremarkable, and the user was admonished to stop socking and come back after a year, at which time their remorse might be more credible. It's now been 26 months, and we have a fresh unblock request - one that lists multiple sockpuppets. Given the length of time, I might be inclined to give this editor a shot, but for the socks. I posted a request of input at AN, and - if you have a moment - your input is welcome. Thanks in advance, UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:38, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Tiptoey, let me apologise for the tone of my remarks to you following my request for review of my block. As that (as far as I can recall) was the first time I had spoken to you, I regret the manner and tone of my replies, as I can see that you are civil and one of the better editors here. I am very sorry for the remarks I made to you and would have been better at that time to have taken some time out before attempting to resolve the situation.

Hi. I am not satisfied with the justification you have given for semi-protecting this article. Can you please review and, if there is one, provide a policy-based reason? Leaky Caldron 18:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Yep, I had a terrible packet loss (and irc would work quite weak) so I asked the oversight team via email, but actually irc "generic" requests (I mean those not addressed to a particular sysop) worked not so well in the past. Frankly, stating my request has been approved, I did my best to avoid any side-effect or overriding local community, considering there were several difficulties in having a quick response and, furthermore, that I didn't want to make that issue *so* public (but now, because of you, it is :/ ) I cannot understand the tone of your question (and, actually, the question itself, probably you already read my explanations, didn't you?).

Sorry to bother you out the blue. JtV hit my talk page here and on Meta under two different accounts. He got blocked here, but his account on meta:User:Deskwiped remains unblocked. I'm not sure what the usual procedures are for requesting a vandal block on meta, but I noticed that you are an admin here and there. Can you do me a favor and block the account on meta? If you would prefer that I follow procedure on meta, whatever that may be, I can do that. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 07:13, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Tiptoety, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, 2011 Virginia Tech shooting, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! SpeakFree (talk)( contribs) 22:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2011 Virginia Tech shooting 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/2011 Virginia Tech shooting 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. SpeakFree (talk)( contribs) 22:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

As you were marginally involved in this dispute recently, please note that User:Lhb1239 has resumed his disruptive editing at Talk:Mad Men by removing legitimate discussion of improving the article -- and, ironically, has engaged in the same warning/templating behavior on my talkpage [4] [5] [6] [7] which he complained about as 'harassment'.

I know nothing about proxies or Tor nodes, but I see from the block log that you've regularly blocked User:66.180.193.219 for being a Tor node.

I may be missing something, but it seems User:47man4747 is still using User:76.211.237.25 to insert unsourced info into Hip Hop. I thought it would be proper to let you know since you blocked him/her. - 199.173.225.33 ( talk) 13:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Hopefully what I posted here about the whole Jack Rose (guitarist) thing got blocked or you just deleted it and ignored it. Nonetheless, I will apologize for getting way, way too over-emotional and being a complete jerk. Esp. to someone who asks for "Knock, Knock" jokes on their talk page (I'm going to borrow that, if that's OK?) I hope it got blocked and you didn't read it. Rob and I just talked to Jack's widow and she said "play nice or don't play".
So attacking editors I would like to apologize for, but would also like to understand. In other words, Editor A comes along, writes article, most of it is wrong. There's a few references but not many (somehow when I don't have every single thing references, my articles get Speedy Deleted.) I try to correct things, but it's a very sore subject. So I leave some uncalled for comments. But that shouldn't mean my factual changes should be removed. Maybe I need to be removed, but not the real facts. Does this make sense? Because I'm confused. It seems like if bad Editor A creates or takes over an article, they get to rule with an iron fist, and factual changes can't be made.
1. What's the proper way to deal with bad editors? I mean, people who write articles, or take them over, but the info is just completely wrong? 2. Rob Vaughn, the one who played with Pelt 1997-1999, and who their CD Rob's Choice is named after, is standing behind me, making sure I'm not being a jerk. 3. Can he create an account, he's not sure if he has one, and access through the same IP address, since we just have one DSL router and fixed IP for the whole office.
Again, my sincere apologies. And Rob apologies as well. And says I should offer you a gift or something? I am a total jerk, and not into Bad Karma. So very, very sorry. :( — WinkJunior ( talk) 17:02, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
P.S. I don't want to be a WP:DIVA but after reading that article... it kinda burns a bit, y'know, realizing that I'm acting like a WP:DIVA. Reading that article? Looking in a mirror.
So sorry x 1000. I'm logging off and letting Rob V. create an account and try to address the Pelt / Jack Rose stuff. And I'll try to stay logged off until I can stop being a "diva". Sheesh, I am an idiot. Sincere apologies! — WinkJunior ( talk) 17:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the one year protection on Meriwether Lewis. Makes me wonder why people feel the need to do stupid stuff on articles. Mattchewbaca ( meow) 08:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi tiptoety, i really like your userpage… so here's this humble star (i hope you show it to your owl ;) |
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Azure+Dragon+of+the+East
May you take a look? Because I think User:Azure Dragon of the East is a clone of User:Calvin Marquess (blocked) due to his/her editing behaviors and habits.-- AM ( talk) 04:40, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the autopatrolled status. I appreciate the vote of confidence. I hope to add articles on notable historic persons and events of the American Civil War and colonial America which have no current pages and to add information from reliable sources to articles that are stubs or start class and can be expanded. I have left a thank you with User:Alpha Quadrant as well. Donner60 ( talk) 00:00, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
I've seen your username around here quite often, and I thought you might be able to give me some advice. Ever since I restarted Wikipedia, I've liked fighting vandalism. However, most of the tools are reserved for rollback users. What would be some good milestones to reach if I want to gain this privilege? Jambobambo ( talk) 17:14, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Since that's a whole load of useless junk, selective deletion is better than revdeletion here, especially for DENY purposes. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:47, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Tiptoety, I did anti vandalism work before, Then I was busy with wikifying, writing articles. And I have been using Huggle and other tools in other languages. I just want to work faster and save time. I can assure that I will utilize the right carefully. Thank you. -- aηsuмaη :) ༽Ϟ 05:50, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

We have an unblock request from Euclidthegreek, an editor you indefblocked in August 2009 following a string of bad joke articles and other shenanigans. Their first unblock request was unremarkable, and the user was admonished to stop socking and come back after a year, at which time their remorse might be more credible. It's now been 26 months, and we have a fresh unblock request - one that lists multiple sockpuppets. Given the length of time, I might be inclined to give this editor a shot, but for the socks. I posted a request of input at AN, and - if you have a moment - your input is welcome. Thanks in advance, UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:38, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Tiptoey, let me apologise for the tone of my remarks to you following my request for review of my block. As that (as far as I can recall) was the first time I had spoken to you, I regret the manner and tone of my replies, as I can see that you are civil and one of the better editors here. I am very sorry for the remarks I made to you and would have been better at that time to have taken some time out before attempting to resolve the situation. DMSBel ( talk) 15:31, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I am not satisfied with the justification you have given for semi-protecting this article. Can you please review and, if there is one, provide a policy-based reason? Leaky Caldron 18:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Yep, I had a terrible packet loss (and irc would work quite weak) so I asked the oversight team via email, but actually irc "generic" requests (I mean those not addressed to a particular sysop) worked not so well in the past. Frankly, stating my request has been approved, I did my best to avoid any side-effect or overriding local community, considering there were several difficulties in having a quick response and, furthermore, that I didn't want to make that issue *so* public (but now, because of you, it is :/ ) I cannot understand the tone of your question (and, actually, the question itself, probably you already read my explanations, didn't you?).

Hi you blocked User:SgtSquirts for ausing multiple accounts he/she is back using the name User:SgtSquirts1 and vandalising the same article History of the Special Air Service are you able to intervene again ? Jim Sweeney ( talk) 21:31, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you out the blue. JtV hit my talk page here and on Meta under two different accounts. He got blocked here, but his account on meta:User:Deskwiped remains unblocked. I'm not sure what the usual procedures are for requesting a vandal block on meta, but I noticed that you are an admin here and there. Can you do me a favor and block the account on meta? If you would prefer that I follow procedure on meta, whatever that may be, I can do that. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 07:13, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Tiptoety, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, 2011 Virginia Tech shooting, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! SpeakFree (talk)( contribs) 22:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2011 Virginia Tech shooting 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/2011 Virginia Tech shooting 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. SpeakFree (talk)( contribs) 22:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. It's not directly about you, but about the Golden Glory logo placed on your page. -- NellieBly ( talk) 18:19, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
As you were marginally involved in this dispute recently, please note that User:Lhb1239 has resumed his disruptive editing at Talk:Mad Men by removing legitimate discussion of improving the article -- and, ironically, has engaged in the same warning/templating behavior on my talkpage [4] [5] [6] [7] which he complained about as 'harassment'. I have reported this matter to WP:WQA#User removing article talkpage discussion. - El duderino ( talk) 21:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Would you consider re-semi-protecting America's Next Top Model, Cycle 17 for a few months, it is still appears to be a target for those wanting to have some fun. Mt king (edits) 00:10, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
I know nothing about proxies or Tor nodes, but I see from the block log that you've regularly blocked User:66.180.193.219 for being a Tor node. I just blocked the address for harassment of User:Cossde, but if that's still an open proxy, then perhaps it needs to be blocked longer? Qwyrxian ( talk) 15:17, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Dear Clerk, per Risker's extension of time on Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Civility_enforcement there's a reasonable expectation now that the Evidence and Workshop pages will cease being edited.
