Hey There. I've tried a few times to add the Babe Ruth tribute site, BabeRuthCentral.com, to the Babe Ruth page multiple times but then disappears shortly thereafter. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong in my edit; however, recently, I discovered a warning on my talk page, which says that my attempt to include this website in the External Links is actually considered to be an act of Spam. I assure you, I'm not trying to improve my google ranking by putting our link on Wikipedia. BabeRuthCentral.com is actually probably the largest and accurate source of information on Babe Ruth on the web. How can I say this? I'm the webmaster and great grandson of Babe Ruth, and the majority of information, content and stories has come directly from my family. I appreciate that you're trying to ensure the integrity of the information regarding my great grandfather, but I would also appreciate it if you would reconsider having BabeRuthCentral, a site managed and endorsed by the family, on the external links page of wikipedia.

I'm not sure what you were saying with "If you left the project." What does that mean? As I've stated before, I ain't all that Wiki Savvy.
Notable or not, vandalism is vandalism. Adolph Hitler's Wikipedia entry has a warning on it about vandalism. He's certainly notable, and apparently, people aren't too concerned with vandalizing his entry.
I think it is unfortunate Steve Singleton's entry was vandalized. And I do understand that the more notable the subject of the entry, the more likely it is to get caught.
That said, the problem is User:Jerry, not Steve Singleton.-- Johnny Spasm ( talk) 01:17, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

warning, and what I got back was a
diatribe that makes it clear he has no understanding that uploading a copyrighted image, labeling it as self-created, and releasing it into the public domain is wrong. I left a second warning when I nominated the Avril Lavigne image, but it's always nice to let a problem editor know that he isn't just in a fight with one other editor.

As you can see, this user keeps adding the same fansite to the JC Chasez article. I actually left them a warning, but they continued unabated. Rather than keep reverting, could the fansite be added to the Wiki blacklist? It'd be easier that way. The user is obviously a single purpose account.

The Elias Book of Baseball Records 2008 edition (p. 372) recognizes Delahanty as the 1902 AL batting leader, not Lajoie. That fact is reflected in the WP article about year-by-year leaders, but not in the WP article about consecutive batting titles, which still shows Lajoie for 1902. Elias continues to list Cobb as the 1910 AL champion. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

No, I am not arguing one way or another. I assume since you made the block you know the details of the case and I trust your judgment on the matter, I just wanted to know what it was. The user in question deleted the tags with a message saying that the charges were not true. If that is the case, of course s/he was right to get rid of the tags.

I'm suspicious of the new user User:DaisyBunny. The user's edits are all to articles targeted by Fangusu in the past (with a few that may be new, but in the same basic category and style), and the user's very first edit summary addresses me by name as was Fangusu's habit as of late, also insisting as Fangusu had that an article being a stub means it ought to be merged into another article. Many of the edits undo reversions I did of this Fangusu's unproductive and block-evading editing. I'd say I'm over 90% certain that this is Fangusu, but this user's characteristic poor grammar does not appear to be present. It's hypothetically possible that a different person who'd been silently watching decided to re-do Fangusu edits that s/he thought were useful, so I thought I'd ask for a second pair of eyes to have a look instead of immediately reporting it to WP:AIV. Would you mind taking a look when you get the opportunity? Thanks. -- Icarus ( Hi!) 07:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello.
This is a bit hard to explain. I just came to wikipedia, and saw that someone had edited a lot of articals in an imature manner. This is a public computer, in a junior/senior school. There are some very imature people here. It might be in the best intrest of wikipedia to block this url/computer/whatever you do. Anyone who really wants to edit on wikipedia can create an account. I know that there are a few reasons (fairness/second chances/my reliability) not to do this, but it will only bring grief/annoyance. Anywho, I'll leave it up to you.

The reason I raised the issue of the vandalism bots on the Administrator's Noticeboard is because I wasn't sure if this was a behind the scenes programming problem an admin would have to address or a specific issue with the bots. Also, we'll need admins to help out on vandalism patrol until this is resolved. Until this is determined not to be an admin-related problem, I'd appreciate it if you didn't delete the thread from ANI. Thanks.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 15:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
My apologies for that mistaken deletion. I was working on another project when I saw your edit summary and I thought you'd deleted the ANI thread. My intent was to place the thread back on ANI, which obviously wasn't needed. As for bringing up bot problems there, it is an admin noticeboard and I wanted this issue brought to the attention of my fellow admins, figuring some of them would know what to do. It appears this was a correct assumption.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 16:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Bill. It's been a while since the dispute about TV episode article naming, and I'm glad to see that you've been thriving on Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that there's a new (much smaller, I hope!) discussion about whether to keep the redirects that have "unnecessary" disambiguation or not — one of the byproducts of an early compromise move in that debate.

For catching my mistake. :) MBisanz talk 01:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Please see current spiteful dispute I am having with Semitransgenic at Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine and at the Noise music page. The issue is this: after a month of work I greatly improved the noise music page - providing wiki with an outstanding noise music page with extensive footnotes, some lacking only page # which I can provide in the near future (as previously explained a # of times), free of WP:OR & WP:SYN that stood for weeks. Semitransgenic then imposed a WP:OR deadline on my providing those page #s and when I challenged that arbitrary deadline Semitransgenic falsely accused me of sock-puppetry with the creator of the Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine - an outstanding wiki page started by Tellus archivist who has entered his resistance to Semitransgenic's dictates. (See talk page at Noise music) I strongly condemn Semitransgenic's tactics as he is doing it again at Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine in spite.
More evidence of Semitransgenic abuse: he has seen the results of the investigation into his charges of sock/meat puppetry against me here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Tellus_archivist) and knows (see his contrib page) me to be innocent of them -- yet he repeats them and has not apologized to me as he promised he would. As you can see, the result of his harassment was: "Clerk note: I've indefblocked Taxisfolder as an abandoned account but there is no overlap in activity or block evasion, so Valueyou is left alone. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
I ask here for a Consensus that disciplinary measures be taken against Semitransgenic as he is a bully and self-declared nazi (see the top of my talk page – that is how he introduced himself to me). I may or may not be of the Jewish faith, but either way I find this kind of macho posturing repugnant. He also addressed me as “dude” later on in my talk page and as I am not of the male sex, I find that sort of address sexist. So, I am seeking a Consensus to out Semitransgenic from the music section of wiki as clearly he has no love of music or the artists who make it. I don't see any constructive contributions by Semitransgenic other posting ugly flag signs where talk on the discussion page would be better because these signs drive away users of wikipedia by making it look half-ass. I suggest that he be asked to go work on the Nazism page and leave the music section to those who love music. Valueyou ( talk) 11:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was the one you blocked for 2 days for creating sockpuppets to achieve "POV" edits to Members Church of God International. To me, the edits do not propagandize the church, sicne the criticism section and the cases are still there. I simply believe that Shannon Rose is only harassing me since of what he said that "she need to brainwas me about my belief to the said church". The so called "POV" edits done bby Defenz_07 are adding references, true statements which I have proven but she deos not just believe in the references I added. Please, think about the blocking of Defenz_07. I'll stop editing the church article for a while but I will still watch it.

Thanks Wknight, and I'm aware of that distinction.

If they suggested that the solution was to use a closed proxy (and to inform the arbitration committee?) I'm not aware.

Well, at least you can say your Mets lost out to "the best". Or maybe NOT. That was one of more sloppily played Series I can recall, and not very well umpired either, but that's another story. But the level of play in the Series kind of shows what happens when the supposedly "hot" teams get in, as opposed to the supposedly "best" teams: the Cubs and Angels.

What about it ISN'T accurate?
Just wondering, it's a proven fact they were the Mariners, Griffey Jr. hit his first pro HR with them. The records on that page are factual and accurate. I didn't make the page but everything said on there is fact, if it's wrong. Keep it up and let people fix it. Thing is....It's not....I know the Wiki rules and sourcing and such but....
How is someone writing in a newspaper different than someone at Baseball Reference.com better than the other? I see mistakes in books about baseball history and newspapers all the time from so called "experts". This article though it might not be by a sports writer is expertly written read it...Pick out any fact written and you'll see it's not wrong.
If it's not up, who's going to write it? Most minor league teams have
"This was a team based in Hooterville, USA"
as the whole article...Because unless it's written by an actual sportswriter of that team it's considered "unsourced" due to the lack of achives on Single A short season baseball....I know I'm wasting my breath.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seattlehawk94 ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Wknight94,
This is, once again, about the subject of this checkuser.
I don't think this even merits another checkuser because the situation is quite plain. Dar book has been using 222.127.223.70 as a sock, and the latter's talk page is replete with warnings of all types (all seemingly unheeded). It seems that he forgot to log in and accidentally used it instead of his Dar book account to edit the Eli Soriano article.
This is the line that gave him away:
why would a person buy a website just to lie?. (edit summary)
why would a person buy a website just to lie?. (please scroll down to red letters)
Another slip, a Marikina Science High School edit also gave him away. Dar book is the creator of that article.

Hey There. I've tried a few times to add the Babe Ruth tribute site, BabeRuthCentral.com, to the Babe Ruth page multiple times but then disappears shortly thereafter. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong in my edit; however, recently, I discovered a warning on my talk page, which says that my attempt to include this website in the External Links is actually considered to be an act of Spam. I assure you, I'm not trying to improve my google ranking by putting our link on Wikipedia. BabeRuthCentral.com is actually probably the largest and accurate source of information on Babe Ruth on the web. How can I say this? I'm the webmaster and great grandson of Babe Ruth, and the majority of information, content and stories has come directly from my family. I appreciate that you're trying to ensure the integrity of the information regarding my great grandfather, but I would also appreciate it if you would reconsider having BabeRuthCentral, a site managed and endorsed by the family, on the external links page of wikipedia.

I'm not sure what you were saying with "If you left the project." What does that mean? As I've stated before, I ain't all that Wiki Savvy.
Notable or not, vandalism is vandalism. Adolph Hitler's Wikipedia entry has a warning on it about vandalism. He's certainly notable, and apparently, people aren't too concerned with vandalizing his entry.
I think it is unfortunate Steve Singleton's entry was vandalized. And I do understand that the more notable the subject of the entry, the more likely it is to get caught.
That said, the problem is User:Jerry, not Steve Singleton.-- Johnny Spasm ( talk) 01:17, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm suspicious of the new user User:DaisyBunny. The user's edits are all to articles targeted by Fangusu in the past (with a few that may be new, but in the same basic category and style), and the user's very first edit summary addresses me by name as was Fangusu's habit as of late, also insisting as Fangusu had that an article being a stub means it ought to be merged into another article. Many of the edits undo reversions I did of this Fangusu's unproductive and block-evading editing. I'd say I'm over 90% certain that this is Fangusu, but this user's characteristic poor grammar does not appear to be present. It's hypothetically possible that a different person who'd been silently watching decided to re-do Fangusu edits that s/he thought were useful, so I thought I'd ask for a second pair of eyes to have a look instead of immediately reporting it to WP:AIV. Would you mind taking a look when you get the opportunity? Thanks. -- Icarus ( Hi!) 07:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello.
This is a bit hard to explain. I just came to wikipedia, and saw that someone had edited a lot of articals in an imature manner. This is a public computer, in a junior/senior school. There are some very imature people here. It might be in the best intrest of wikipedia to block this url/computer/whatever you do. Anyone who really wants to edit on wikipedia can create an account. I know that there are a few reasons (fairness/second chances/my reliability) not to do this, but it will only bring grief/annoyance. Anywho, I'll leave it up to you.

For catching my mistake. :) MBisanz talk 01:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Please see current spiteful dispute I am having with Semitransgenic at Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine and at the Noise music page. The issue is this: after a month of work I greatly improved the noise music page - providing wiki with an outstanding noise music page with extensive footnotes, some lacking only page # which I can provide in the near future (as previously explained a # of times), free of WP:OR & WP:SYN that stood for weeks. Semitransgenic then imposed a WP:OR deadline on my providing those page #s and when I challenged that arbitrary deadline Semitransgenic falsely accused me of sock-puppetry with the creator of the Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine - an outstanding wiki page started by Tellus archivist who has entered his resistance to Semitransgenic's dictates. (See talk page at Noise music) I strongly condemn Semitransgenic's tactics as he is doing it again at Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine in spite.
More evidence of Semitransgenic abuse: he has seen the results of the investigation into his charges of sock/meat puppetry against me here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Tellus_archivist) and knows (see his contrib page) me to be innocent of them -- yet he repeats them and has not apologized to me as he promised he would. As you can see, the result of his harassment was: "Clerk note: I've indefblocked Taxisfolder as an abandoned account but there is no overlap in activity or block evasion, so Valueyou is left alone. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
I ask here for a Consensus that disciplinary measures be taken against Semitransgenic as he is a bully and self-declared nazi (see the top of my talk page – that is how he introduced himself to me). I may or may not be of the Jewish faith, but either way I find this kind of macho posturing repugnant. He also addressed me as “dude” later on in my talk page and as I am not of the male sex, I find that sort of address sexist. So, I am seeking a Consensus to out Semitransgenic from the music section of wiki as clearly he has no love of music or the artists who make it. I don't see any constructive contributions by Semitransgenic other posting ugly flag signs where talk on the discussion page would be better because these signs drive away users of wikipedia by making it look half-ass. I suggest that he be asked to go work on the Nazism page and leave the music section to those who love music. Valueyou ( talk) 11:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was the one you blocked for 2 days for creating sockpuppets to achieve "POV" edits to Members Church of God International.

I simply believe that Shannon Rose is only harassing me since of what he said that "she need to brainwas me about my belief to the said church". The so called "POV" edits done bby Defenz_07 are adding references, true statements which I have proven but she deos not just believe in the references I added.

Thanks for fixing my poorly formatted sockpuppet case filing. Mrshaba ( talk) 23:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Same here: thank you for fixing my sockpuppet case filing. Sorry for the inconvenience. Erigu ( talk) 11:26, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Wknight, and I'm aware of that distinction. However, the difs also show them contending that there is no legitimate reason to proxy, and that privacy rights are more than outweighed by Wikipedia's needs. If they suggested that the solution was to use a closed proxy (and to inform the arbitration committee?) I'm not aware. Additionally, however, the proxy apparently was not limited to one account, as SlimVirgin's comments state that both accounts were found to edit from the same one.

Someone anonymously reverted your sockpuppet notice at User:Melody Perkins. Wronkiew ( talk) 06:15, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the protection for the Talk:Jenny Agutter page. I don't think Melody/Walter was going to give up so easily so you seem to have nipped any further arguments in the bud. Tavy08 ( talk) 11:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Wknight. I nominated two images for deletion but they were left out when the daily page was processed. I don't think they're controversial - the user who uploaded them hasn't contested the fact he mistakenly tagged them as his own when they'd come from unknown sources. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look.
Thanks. John Smith's ( talk) 21:53, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for protecting my Userpage, I was actually hoping Melody/Walter would just give up, but now it seems as though resorting to personal attacks is one way to get revenge after losing a dispute.
Thanks once again.
Grateful

I don't see where the user is banned. Can you point to that? Tedickey ( talk) 12:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Yo, Wknight, I understand you are only following WP:BAN in reverting Simultaneous movement ( talk · contribs)'s edits, but the ones I have looked at check out as improvements to the articles. Could you hold off on the blanket reversions until the content is checked please? Although I'm sure you have the best of intentions, admins removing good content from articles in order to fulfill a social end seems to me to fit the definition of " disrupting Wikipedia to make a point".

Here's a pair of updates from today (from a single sock) [14] where he thinks he knows No Guru's first name: [15] Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Can you please tell me where the best place to place this would be then if you feel it should be deleted from the list of "users for admin attention"? Thanks Jwri7474 ( talk) 03:05, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Here's another Liebman sock to be blocked when you have time: [16] Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, do you think a checkuser is possible in this case - I think this user has multiple accounts. See what he says. He was blocked. Then a while later came back as User:Stoptional, see this edit. Then I think he is also User:Ell-ninio11 attacking the blocking admin, User:zzuuzz. He might have many more account, I just wanted to ask if a CU is possible, or will it be declined as I'm not aware of the CU rules much. Thanks - Unpopular Opinion ( talk) 13:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I removed the link to http://www.dmoz.org at Nassau County, New York as it appears to be nothing more than a business directory. You restored the link here and reinserted the link on other counties of New York. Am I missing something? Alansohn ( talk) 12:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, at least you can say your Mets lost out to "the best". Or maybe NOT. That was one of more sloppily played Series I can recall, and not very well umpired either, but that's another story. But the level of play in the Series kind of shows what happens when the supposedly "hot" teams get in, as opposed to the supposedly "best" teams: the Cubs and Angels. It would have been interesting to see this week's Series games played in Wrigley, with possibly some snow accumulating on the mostly-bare-by-now ivy. Maybe next year. Or century. Or millennium.

What about it ISN'T accurate?
Just wondering, it's a proven fact they were the Mariners, Griffey Jr. hit his first pro HR with them. The records on that page are factual and accurate. I didn't make the page but everything said on there is fact, if it's wrong. Keep it up and let people fix it. Thing is....It's not....I know the Wiki rules and sourcing and such but....
How is someone writing in a newspaper different than someone at Baseball Reference.com better than the other? I see mistakes in books about baseball history and newspapers all the time from so called "experts". This article though it might not be by a sports writer is expertly written read it...Pick out any fact written and you'll see it's not wrong.
If it's not up, who's going to write it? Most minor league teams have
"This was a team based in Hooterville, USA"
as the whole article...Because unless it's written by an actual sportswriter of that team it's considered "unsourced" due to the lack of achives on Single A short season baseball....I know I'm wasting my breath.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seattlehawk94 ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
[17] Of course it's not a sock, b/c he says it isn't. *lol*
Man, you are fast! I saw the sock's first edit four minutes after it occurred, and you had reverted, tagged and blocked before I finished looking to see if it was the same edit. Jd2718 ( talk) 16:34, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello Wknight94,
This is, once again, about the subject of this checkuser.
I don't think this even merits another checkuser because the situation is quite plain. Dar book has been using 222.127.223.70 as a sock, and the latter's talk page is replete with warnings of all types (all seemingly unheeded). It seems that he forgot to log in and accidentally used it instead of his Dar book account to edit the Eli Soriano article.
This is the line that gave him away:
why would a person buy a website just to lie?. (edit summary)
why would a person buy a website just to lie?. (please scroll down to red letters)
Another slip, a Marikina Science High School edit also gave him away. Dar book is the creator of that article.
This user is becoming a big nuisance.
Many thanks,

Hey, just wanted to stop by and commend you for all your hard work and effort over at WP:RFCU. For quite a while there I was doing the majority of it myself and if I ever took a few days off the page went into disarray, but now with all of your great help I am no longer worried about that happening. Anyways, I just wanted to give you some recognition for your good work! Cheers, Tiptoety talk 04:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Why did you protect the cat template? What was being done to it that it needed to be protected for? I have a good edit, but I can't edit with the stupid protect in place! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.129.4 ( talk) 23:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
