Hi, I was considering being adopted but for now, I just wanted to ask you this question; in a beginer-friendly way, could you please explain to me how to get a background image on my user-page like you did?

Could I get you to look at the following SPI: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Juanmramirez2012. It's been sitting for a week, and a previous ANI thread on the same issue went stale two weeks ago. The same disruption by this person is continuing. N419 BH 22:34, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed you were involved in an edit on the Anime Mid-Atlantic article, with user Animemidatlantic. I found something off site on the Anime Mid-Atlantic Facebook [1], Look for “Second rant.”, that I found concerning about their involvement on Wikipedia. I hope I have not broken any rules bringing this up, but the reason is I’m about to post a major revision to their Wikipedia page, trying to bring it up to Wikipedia standards, and I’m slightly concerned at this point. I’ve run into other problems with conventions editing their pages and understanding why or why not content can be used, cited, etc, so I’d appreciate if you could keep an eye on the article.

Do you think he's editing as a sockpuppeteer, as the IP 184.65.5.224 predates the username, with the former focused on more of a diverse topic range than the latter. Regardless, the user has already removed material on GB fan's talk page, and has continued to use the IP on the Windows Phone page after your notice. I look forward to hearing back from you on this, as I might end up opening up an SPI based on your response. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 04:44, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
If the OTRS complaint argues that those not in fraternities are trying to expose that information, feel free to use me as an example otherwise.

I don't want to bring this up in the AfD, but I'll say it here. One fear I have is that, if Kappa Sigma is deleted and SALTed, the vandals won't go away. The info will just start showing up at Kappa Sigma (fraternity) and other variant titles, ad nauseam. It will just be harder to track down because of the title shifts. — C.Fred ( talk) 20:00, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

You blocked President Roosevelt?
On a serious note, I've got a Commons CU question. Last year, you ran a CU that revealed PeaceFrog71 and Elizabeth Blandra to be the same, so when I blocked the frog for edit warring the other day (see the "Stalking" section of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive758), I told Elizabeth that any editing during the block would be construed as block evasion. She obeyed, but after the block was over, she began objecting to characterisation as a sockpuppet; see the bottom of User talk:PeaceFrog71. All this is to say: do I understand rightly that CU shows the same thing regardless of website? In other words, if I edit the same way here and at Commons with two accounts that are using the same IP address(es), would CU produce identical results? Since SUL results for the frog and Elizabeth are positive, I'd just like to be able to tell Elizabeth that CU's findings at Commons are ironclad strong here at en:wp.

Hello, Tiptoety. I see at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PhoenixMIX/Archive that you said that the accounts listed were "Both highly Likely". I don't know a lot about how checkuser works, and I wonder if you could tell me whether you also checked for other accounts, and if not whether you would be willing to do so. I had intended to put a request for such a check in the SPI, but had to go offline and didn't get a chance before the case was closed. Since one of the accounts has stated that he/she is in a position to use further sockpuupets, and intends to do so if blocked, sleeper accounts are a significant possibility.

I saw that you've blocked this disruptive IP for 3 months [3], could you also please semi-protect Mohammad Mosaddegh and 1953 Iranian coup d'état to prevent further disruption by this person? I suspect that this is a regular editor on these pages, using these IPs as a revert machine to bypass WP:CON and avoid the ongoing discussions. That's why a semi-protection on those pages, would prevent further abuse. It should be noted that another WP:SPA on the same articles, was using an IP and his account, to simultaneously comment on a related RFC, and when I confronted him about it, he claimed it was a mistake, and this all could be related to the other IP activities on the same pages, and might worth looking into.

I have a OTRS question for you about this article. There's been longterm edit warring regarding the date of birth of Kightlinger.
I originally became aware of this issue when User:L&S-ESQS changed the date of birth claiming they were counsel for Ms. Kightlinger. As a result, I reverted and raised COI concerns on the user's talk page. Since then, this user as well as User:CPESQS and User:SCalEsq (who I presume are the same person) have continued to push this point.
I've since sourced all the dates all to RS, but these editors keep reverting, citing IMDB (obviously not a reliable source). Meanwhile, the date of graduation was cited to the University itself, but the revision pushed by the "council" makes unsourced claims that this date is incorrect. They also mentioned a prior OTRS case and I see that revisions where made by an OTRS admin citing otrs:2011061610000189.
I was just wondering whether this was an appropriate response? Is it really wikipedia's policy that if someone writes us an angry letter we'll put whatever they want into the article, regardless of whether there are RS to back it up or not? The dates as per my revision are reliably sourced, and the revisions pushed by the "council" aren't. If there are legal concerns then it would be much more appropriate to simply not list a date as opposed to making something up just because someone with a vested interest threatens legal action. We aren't here to push propaganda for others.
For further background, you can read more here where another site claims they've been threatened by Kightlinger's lawyer to change the date of birth and why they think the request is bogus. It seems like a pretty clear case of age fabrication to me. Ordinarily I'd just revert, but as I'm not clear about the legal implications I figured I should ask.

Now that it looks like the article will be kept which primary source / secondary sources issues will be rooted out in time. Being a new user requesting this AfD, it seemed to be a really unusual format given how long it is. My question is that is it allowed to know what the content of that ticket (OTRS ticket# 2010031110064798) was about? I just wanted to ask before I go running off to OTRS/N and looking like a fool requesting this info. I'm not a volunteer of OTRS since I don't know the details of what OTRS does exactly. Thanks.

I'm seeing a lot of reverting by Sheodred on his talk page. Have you considered revoking access - perhaps I'm over reacting, but if he aint requesting unblock he isn't permitted to use it as a forum/soapbox. Furthermore there was an IP who reverted MuZemike's comment there [7]. I've blocked that IP already - not sure if Sheodred was socking from there (on a different continent to his other IPs) but it's highly unusual for an IP to stumble into this issue out of the blue-- Cailil talk 15:19, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Tiptoety! I'am user:Doncsecz. This is not my sockpuppet, the User:Stubes99, i have only an puppet, i'am not sockpuppet-master! 81.183.39.173 ( talk) 13:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
In my opinion, it is unlikely that Doncsecz is Stubes99. Of course Doncsecz is free to appeal it. However, if the blocking administrators (in this case, you and DeltaQuad) do not give their consent to lifting\shortening his block, the probability of the happenstance that Doncsecz can successfully appeal it is zero as the reason for his indef-block is sockpuppetting. And of course Doncsecz indeed began sockpuppetting for which he deserves a block. I would like to ask you and DeltaQuad to consider shortening his block to one month in light of what I wrote on DeltaQuad's talk page.-- Nmate ( talk) 08:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

...for your checkuser check at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Micky02car. I was aware that I had given rather a giant list of accounts, and that it would be a big job for someone, but it seemed that leaving some out might result in missing important information. JamesBWatson ( talk) 08:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tiptoety, I've left you a comment at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sonderbro. A sleeper check could still be warranted there, couldn't it? Regards, Jafeluv ( talk) 09:40, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello Tiptoety,
DeltaQuad admitted to having made a mistake when he told that Doncsecz was Stubes99 [9]. Furthermore, he also told that "Tiptoety can move it around as needed/reblock/retag/whatever as needed". I think that there is now a new case, so would you be so kind as to consider shortening Doncsecz's block? If it was up to me, I would be replacing Doncsecz's indef-block with a time-limited-one , say , for a duration of one month. But of course the decision is yours. Regards.-- Nmate ( talk) 06:37, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Policy seems to be to find an editor willing to make revision deletion requests. You've made revision deletions, so.... A user, Hjm 2004241 ( talk), added a grossly inappropriate image to the article Abomination (Bible). I've rolled back the edit and posted a "one and only" warning on the user's talk page, but I would like to both hide the user's edit and, if possible, get the image deleted from Wikipedia (not sure how to do that, either.)

There are growing concerns that Amiram Goldblum is himself editing the article about him. He has two accounts: User:Rastiniak and User:רסטיניאק. Take a look at the this sockpuppet investigation. Also, read the following discussion. רסטיניאק has removed the POV tag from the article twice so far: 1 and 2. While I don't find this subject particularly interesting, I'm alarmed by the fact that Goldblum is fighting tooth and nail to get users who question the neutrality of his article to get blocked.

...came off his block and immediately started up the exactt same behavior again. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 05:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
I am trying to do the responsible thing here.
The article used to be called “Norse Dwarves”. Before User:Bloodofox tried to change the article, its content has been in its neutral form, for years. Bloodofox attempts to radically alter the content of the article, by DELETING (censoring) academic data in order to impose his own nonscholarly POV. Bloodofox deletes citations from numerous scholars, including wellknown scholars in the field of Norse mythology. For example, scholars know well the Dvergr as they occur in the Eddas and early Sagas appear to be of normal human height. (This Dvergr is not small. This is unsurprising since the Norse Alfr, Elf, is also of normal human size. Not small.) Numerous scholars point out the full human size of the Dvergr in the Norse texts. Yet for some inexplicable reason, this fact seems to drive Bloodofox insane, and he persistently wars to remove the academic and historical data and citations. This is just one example of Bloodofox abusing his role as an editor. There are others.
Most recently, without concensus, without discussion, and without warning, Bloodofox ***MOVED*** the article, Norse Dwarves, to a new name, Dwarf (Norse mythology). This is after he already failed to get a consensus to merge Norse Dwarves to an other of his “personal” articles whose content he hopes to conform to his personal nonscholarly POV. Again, the purpose of the disruptive behavior by Bloodofox to try remove the neutrality of the article.
Editors must protect the neutral content from the nonneutral nonscholarly POV censorship by Bloodofox.

Do you think he's editing as a sockpuppeteer, as the IP 184.65.5.224 predates the username, with the former focused on more of a diverse topic range than the latter. Regardless, the user has already removed material on GB fan's talk page, and has continued to use the IP on the Windows Phone page after your notice. I look forward to hearing back from you on this, as I might end up opening up an SPI based on your response. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 04:44, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
If the OTRS complaint argues that those not in fraternities are trying to expose that information, feel free to use me as an example otherwise.

I don't want to bring this up in the AfD, but I'll say it here. One fear I have is that, if Kappa Sigma is deleted and SALTed, the vandals won't go away. The info will just start showing up at Kappa Sigma (fraternity) and other variant titles, ad nauseam. It will just be harder to track down because of the title shifts. — C.Fred ( talk) 20:00, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

You blocked President Roosevelt?
On a serious note, I've got a Commons CU question. Last year, you ran a CU that revealed PeaceFrog71 and Elizabeth Blandra to be the same, so when I blocked the frog for edit warring the other day (see the "Stalking" section of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive758), I told Elizabeth that any editing during the block would be construed as block evasion. She obeyed, but after the block was over, she began objecting to characterisation as a sockpuppet; see the bottom of User talk:PeaceFrog71. All this is to say: do I understand rightly that CU shows the same thing regardless of website? In other words, if I edit the same way here and at Commons with two accounts that are using the same IP address(es), would CU produce identical results? Since SUL results for the frog and Elizabeth are positive, I'd just like to be able to tell Elizabeth that CU's findings at Commons are ironclad strong here at en:wp.

Hello, Tiptoety. I see at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PhoenixMIX/Archive that you said that the accounts listed were "Both highly Likely". I don't know a lot about how checkuser works, and I wonder if you could tell me whether you also checked for other accounts, and if not whether you would be willing to do so. I had intended to put a request for such a check in the SPI, but had to go offline and didn't get a chance before the case was closed. Since one of the accounts has stated that he/she is in a position to use further sockpuupets, and intends to do so if blocked, sleeper accounts are a significant possibility.

I saw that you've blocked this disruptive IP for 3 months [3], could you also please semi-protect Mohammad Mosaddegh and 1953 Iranian coup d'état to prevent further disruption by this person? I suspect that this is a regular editor on these pages, using these IPs as a revert machine to bypass WP:CON and avoid the ongoing discussions. That's why a semi-protection on those pages, would prevent further abuse. It should be noted that another WP:SPA on the same articles, was using an IP and his account, to simultaneously comment on a related RFC, and when I confronted him about it, he claimed it was a mistake, and this all could be related to the other IP activities on the same pages, and might worth looking into.

I have a OTRS question for you about this article. There's been longterm edit warring regarding the date of birth of Kightlinger.
I originally became aware of this issue when User:L&S-ESQS changed the date of birth claiming they were counsel for Ms. Kightlinger. As a result, I reverted and raised COI concerns on the user's talk page. Since then, this user as well as User:CPESQS and User:SCalEsq (who I presume are the same person) have continued to push this point.
I've since sourced all the dates all to RS, but these editors keep reverting, citing IMDB (obviously not a reliable source). Meanwhile, the date of graduation was cited to the University itself, but the revision pushed by the "council" makes unsourced claims that this date is incorrect. They also mentioned a prior OTRS case and I see that revisions where made by an OTRS admin citing otrs:2011061610000189.
I was just wondering whether this was an appropriate response? Is it really wikipedia's policy that if someone writes us an angry letter we'll put whatever they want into the article, regardless of whether there are RS to back it up or not? The dates as per my revision are reliably sourced, and the revisions pushed by the "council" aren't. If there are legal concerns then it would be much more appropriate to simply not list a date as opposed to making something up just because someone with a vested interest threatens legal action. We aren't here to push propaganda for others.
For further background, you can read more here where another site claims they've been threatened by Kightlinger's lawyer to change the date of birth and why they think the request is bogus. It seems like a pretty clear case of age fabrication to me. Ordinarily I'd just revert, but as I'm not clear about the legal implications I figured I should ask.

Now that it looks like the article will be kept which primary source / secondary sources issues will be rooted out in time. Being a new user requesting this AfD, it seemed to be a really unusual format given how long it is. My question is that is it allowed to know what the content of that ticket (OTRS ticket# 2010031110064798) was about? I just wanted to ask before I go running off to OTRS/N and looking like a fool requesting this info. I'm not a volunteer of OTRS since I don't know the details of what OTRS does exactly. Thanks.

I'm seeing a lot of reverting by Sheodred on his talk page. Have you considered revoking access - perhaps I'm over reacting, but if he aint requesting unblock he isn't permitted to use it as a forum/soapbox. Furthermore there was an IP who reverted MuZemike's comment there [7]. I've blocked that IP already - not sure if Sheodred was socking from there (on a different continent to his other IPs) but it's highly unusual for an IP to stumble into this issue out of the blue-- Cailil talk 15:19, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion, it is unlikely that Doncsecz is Stubes99. Of course Doncsecz is free to appeal it. However, if the blocking administrators (in this case, you and DeltaQuad) do not give their consent to lifting\shortening his block, the probability of the happenstance that Doncsecz can successfully appeal it is zero as the reason for his indef-block is sockpuppetting. And of course Doncsecz indeed began sockpuppetting for which he deserves a block. I would like to ask you and DeltaQuad to consider shortening his block to one month in light of what I wrote on DeltaQuad's talk page.-- Nmate ( talk) 08:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tiptoety, I've left you a comment at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sonderbro. A sleeper check could still be warranted there, couldn't it? Regards, Jafeluv ( talk) 09:40, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello Tiptoety,
DeltaQuad admitted to having made a mistake when he told that Doncsecz was Stubes99 [9]. Furthermore, he also told that "Tiptoety can move it around as needed/reblock/retag/whatever as needed". I think that there is now a new case, so would you be so kind as to consider shortening Doncsecz's block? If it was up to me, I would be replacing Doncsecz's indef-block with a time-limited-one , say , for a duration of one month. But of course the decision is yours. Regards.-- Nmate ( talk) 06:37, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Also, read the following discussion. רסטיניאק has removed the POV tag from the article twice so far: 1 and 2.

I am trying to do the responsible thing here.
The article used to be called “Norse Dwarves”. Before User:Bloodofox tried to change the article, its content has been in its neutral form, for years. Bloodofox attempts to radically alter the content of the article, by DELETING (censoring) academic data in order to impose his own nonscholarly POV. Bloodofox deletes citations from numerous scholars, including wellknown scholars in the field of Norse mythology. For example, scholars know well the Dvergr as they occur in the Eddas and early Sagas appear to be of normal human height. (This Dvergr is not small. This is unsurprising since the Norse Alfr, Elf, is also of normal human size. Not small.) Numerous scholars point out the full human size of the Dvergr in the Norse texts. Yet for some inexplicable reason, this fact seems to drive Bloodofox insane, and he persistently wars to remove the academic and historical data and citations. This is just one example of Bloodofox abusing his role as an editor. There are others.
Most recently, without concensus, without discussion, and without warning, Bloodofox ***MOVED*** the article, Norse Dwarves, to a new name, Dwarf (Norse mythology). This is after he already failed to get a consensus to merge Norse Dwarves to an other of his “personal” articles whose content he hopes to conform to his personal nonscholarly POV. Again, the purpose of the disruptive behavior by Bloodofox to try remove the neutrality of the article.
Editors must protect the neutral content from the nonneutral nonscholarly POV censorship by Bloodofox.
