Hi Dom!
I reply to your message on RasterFaAye's discussion page regarding his removal of PRODs without giving a good summary. If you have a look at Bint, click the History' tab, and you will see that he removed my PROD from the article. There is alreay an entry on Wiktionary (see wikt:bint) so that's why I prodded it. He removed it with "Prodding no good, see edit history", I mean, WTF?! It's been transwikified and therefore it's no longer needed on Wikipedia.
In other words, I totaly agree with you about RasterFaAye.
Hi Dmcdevit, you were the person who blocked my IP 84.45.219.185 - thank you for doing that. I apologise for the puerile behaviour from this IP.

Thanks for the heads up. By "face the consequences" I didn't mean some kind of threat, but rather that PMK1, who began adding such POV material to the article, is practically asking for counter-material: the two ways to balance an article to NPOV are to have the POV content in balance or to remove it outright. Since administrators have reverted my removing of the Macedonian POV content, I tried to add a map that represents the other view, but I've been reverted several times now.
Thinking back, I should have been more careful in my wording, but I'm multitasking at the moment and I'm not a native speaker, so I realize now that it may have had an unintended threatening twist: I apologize for that :) My intention was to say that the user got what he should have expected to get.
I don't think those warnings were necessary though, I'm not a disruptive editor and I've been here long enough to know about WP:DR, edit warring, ABMAC and the like. You should have just assumed that, I believe. The article has been thoroughly POV-ized and I was merely trying to help balance it out or clean it up, that's why I've been insistent with the reverts. The removal of such useful, relevant content is basically bordering vandalism. Todor → Bozhinov 13:54, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Why was List of English words from Latin verb forms transwikied with no discussion and then speedy-deleted? Wikipedia has a very large number of lists of English words by etymology ( French, Portuguese, Yiddish, Dutch, Tamil, Hebrew, Turkic, Korean, and many others). For this reason it seems as if List of English words from Latin verb forms would be more at home in Wikipedia than in Wiktionary. AJD ( talk) 18:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Your notion of neutral is very strange; I think most people who consult wikipedia would like to know what the real situation is, as to the size of a country for example, not what some other people would like it to be. The truth is that Mayotte is part of France, not Comoros, and the people who actually live there have just voted overwhelmingly to become even more so. You refer to UN resolutions: the only ones I know of are PROPOSED resolutions which were vetoed by France and are thus null and void. Arab and African organizationa you mention have also expressed vain desires about about how they would like things to be in Palestine, for example; this doesn't change the real situation in the world people actually live in. Wran ( talk) 09:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
However, if you would like to discuss the issue of the island's political status absent the red herring of the recent vote, that's fine. Unfortunately, the "truth" is not that Mayotte is part of France, but rather that France claims and administers Mayotte as a part of France. Nor is "the truth" what we are after, neutrality is a different concept. Now, your evidence here is not very persuasive. Your first point, about the UN resolutions, is simply wrong: there have been around four separate UN resolutions passed in the last 35 years each affirming the original resolution on the matter which stated that the "occupation by France of the Comorian island of Mayotte constitutes a flagrant encroachment on the national unity of the Comorian State." This is all discussed in the article itself, and referenced in footnotes 4 and 5. The "real situation" that people live in is that the French administer an island that is internationally recognized to be the sovereign territory of another country. Your invocation of Palestine is especially pertinent, since, as you'll see at Israel, Wikipedia does not take Israel's law as our guide for defining political status, but follows international convention by not including them in the map, population, area statistics, and referring to them as "adjacent" and "occupied" territories. Similarly, see Morocco, where the internationally unrecognized occupation of Western Sahara is not part of our definition of the country despite Morocco's de facto administration, and Cyprus, where the internationally recognized borders of the country include Northern Cyprus, despite the fact that it has no de facto control. Of course, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't explain the status of Mayotte in the article, but it already does that painstakingly. Dominic· t 10:59, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I would ask you to be careful and judicious about deleting transwikied titles. In my experience, nine out of ten stay around as disambiguation pages or redirects, and the edit history is useful for the purposes of building such. Since "deletion" on Wikipedia simply means "hiding edit history from non-admins", I see little merit in deleting transwikied articles, just try to turn them into an appropriate redirect or disambig page.
In the specific case of Jutsu, I must also ask you, where is the transwikied article? I know that the transwiki template claimed that "its dictionary counterpart can be found at either Wiktionary:Transwiki:Jutsu or Wiktionary:Jutsu." But simply clicking on these two links is enough to establish that this is not, in fact, the case. It would appear that you deleted an article that had not in fact been transwikied. I would ask you to either undo your deletion (to preserve the edit history), or alternatively make sure that you do transwiki the material you deleted. Thank you. -- dab (��) 13:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh dear. I see that you are deleting many many articles for "transwikification". Have you not made sure for each one that they really were transwikied? If you haven't, you could be doing rather a lot of damage here. Please make sure that each article you delete on the basis of "has been transwikied" has really been transwikied. Otherwise undelete them, or transwiki them yourself! -- dab (��) 13:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
indeed it will. By editors forced to do the same work you had deleted earlier on. I will ask you again to undelete the edit histories you have erroneously deleted, claiming they had been transwikied. You have deleted 55 revisions at jutsu alone. This is work people have invested in documenting the term. It may be arguable that this work would be more at home at wiktionary, which is why we have the transwiki process. The A5 criterion will allow you to delete the edit history at en-wiki only after the content has been moved to wiktionary, nb correctly preserving the history to satisfy GFDL. If you want to delete content for other reasons than A5, do not invoke A5.
You are an admin, and I should not need to explain this to you. You invoked a CSD (A5), which did not apply. I assume it was an honest mistake. Now I have drawn your attention to the mistake you made, you would be expected to clean up after yourself, and not trust that "it will be cleaned up before long" (viz., by others). -- dab (��) 15:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

The editors earlier discussed and essentially unanminously agreed that this link should be in place. The presence of (appropriate) jokes in physics articles and text books is an entirely appropriate and traditional thing, and this particular comic is written by a physics expert. If it wasn't for the fact that we couldn't get a license for it (it's licensed non commercial, but the wikipedia is commercial), this would be in the article.

I've been contacted by User:Ace Baker with respect to the above-captioned article; the link will take you to an AfD discussion that you closed in 2005. Please see my talk page ( here) for the details; I deleted a recent re-posting of this article after it had been tagged as having failed a previous AfD. Essentially, this editor has offered me some evidence that the article should be re-mounted; because of a comment in the earlier AfD that "Some unhappy ETS patients have an axe to grind about the side-effects of their surgery, so they are appropriating Wikipedia in order to advance their cause, both in this and in the ETS entry" I wanted to proceed very carefully. My understanding of the relevant policies is that you should be consulted before anything else happens, and that if you were to agree that the article should be re-examined, the next step is deletion review. My experience in this area is extremely limited -- for instance, I've never closed an AfD -- and so I am hoping that your greater experience will guide this process from here. May I hear from you on this topic, please? Thanks in advance for your trouble. Accounting4Taste: talk 17:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Two very pertinent facts exist today that were not present during the 2005 deletion of Corposcindosis:

2. A citation of the word Coproscindosis, along with its definition, has been published in a mainstream medical journal. [10]

You offered on the very bottom of this page to help if more ScienceGolfFanatic socks ever returned. I've been emailing him off and on since July and I had come to suspect that he'd be back as soon as school started since he'd be able to evade his rangeblock. I am pretty sure that he is back now, but I don't really think I should add to the SPI case because the two accounts I suspect to be his so far are already blocked. What I'm after is trying to get my suspicions confirmed so that some sort of rangeblock can be placed; otherwise he could just keep coming back (some schools have a different IP address for each computer in the school). The two accounts which I've found are Joejoejoejoejoejoejoejoejoe and Tmffqfs Tpdl. If necessary I can explain what makes me suspicious of these two particular accounts, since I realize it would not be obvious to most other editors, and because "Soap thinks you're ScienceGolfFan" isn't really going to convince a checkuser.

Hi, i noticed you a perfomed checkuser on IP 210.49.251.226 in the past, showing him to be a sockpuppet of indef blocked user:AKR619. He has returned to List of science fiction themes to revert to a non-consensus version, and also to WWE Hall of Fame, but with a new IP: 220.237.74.225. He is pretending to not be user:AKR619 (the sockmaster), but the editing pattern is obvious. His edits to these article already earned him more than one indefinate block in the past, and since the indef, his IP was warned and blocked a few times, so seems incorrigible.
I think it is so obivous that a checkuser is not needed, but i have never requested one before, so don't know the procedure. Do you think a new checkuser is needed? Could you do one if needed, or do i have to fill out a form somewhere? I left a msg with the blocking admins too ( User:Mark and User:Wizardman). Thanks! Yob Mod 11:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, I opposed you, because I believe you are Wikileaker on Wikipedia Review, and the same individual who leaked several emails from the Arbcom mailing list and left several anonymous hurtful comments on my blog. I make this accusation based on various factors that were determined by me and some other editors, including at least two arbitrators. Additionally, you are barely here at all, hardly interested in the encyclopedia, and you have already proven yourself to be abusive in other roles (such as IRC op). I couldn't think of anyone less suitable for the role, if I am honest. Majorly talk 17:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I notice that you recently identified User:NoCal100 and User:Canadian Monkey as likely part of the same sock farm. If you look at this thread you will see that before these two were equated some of us thought that another account was run by one or the other of them. If your checkuser on them showed up the same ISP/geopraphical area as indicated by the two IP addresses that Nableezy mentions in that thread, then could you please prompt an admin to take appropriate action. Also, if you look at this archived comment to me, you'll see that an editor on the other side of the I/P dispute agree with Nableezy and my supicions about Breein1007 being a sock account related to CM/NoCalton. An SPI was raised about Bree possibly being run by Canadian Monkey alittle while ago but it was closed because of the lack of a recent trail for CM shortly before he reactivated and you did your own Checkuser on him. I asked the clerk who closed that SPI to consider reopening it (see [19]) but they have given me no indication of an opinion on this. GIven that we now now that CM was part of an active puppet farm, I think that a check on Bree is definitely appropriate. Thanks.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 16:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I am not particularly knowledgeable about how IP addresses work, but my concern, since i was editing in a library at the time I was blocked was that the sockpuppeteer that you were intending to block was operating from the library, and that did not seem possible.

This is an interesting allegation (sockpuppetry). Is there a way one can change or delete an existing user name? For identification purposes, I would rather use a different user name (MuJami). As Racepacket pointed out, I made this request previously.
As there does not appear to be a method to edit one's user name I thought it best to create a "new" profile. Unfortunately (yet understandably)someone misconstrued this act as sockpuppetry.

Hi Dom!
I reply to your message on RasterFaAye's discussion page regarding his removal of PRODs without giving a good summary. If you have a look at Bint, click the History' tab, and you will see that he removed my PROD from the article. There is alreay an entry on Wiktionary (see wikt:bint) so that's why I prodded it. He removed it with "Prodding no good, see edit history", I mean, WTF?! It's been transwikified and therefore it's no longer needed on Wikipedia.
In other words, I totaly agree with you about RasterFaAye.

Thanks for the heads up. By "face the consequences" I didn't mean some kind of threat, but rather that PMK1, who began adding such POV material to the article, is practically asking for counter-material: the two ways to balance an article to NPOV are to have the POV content in balance or to remove it outright. Since administrators have reverted my removing of the Macedonian POV content, I tried to add a map that represents the other view, but I've been reverted several times now.
Thinking back, I should have been more careful in my wording, but I'm multitasking at the moment and I'm not a native speaker, so I realize now that it may have had an unintended threatening twist: I apologize for that :) My intention was to say that the user got what he should have expected to get.
I don't think those warnings were necessary though, I'm not a disruptive editor and I've been here long enough to know about WP:DR, edit warring, ABMAC and the like. You should have just assumed that, I believe. The article has been thoroughly POV-ized and I was merely trying to help balance it out or clean it up, that's why I've been insistent with the reverts. The removal of such useful, relevant content is basically bordering vandalism. Todor → Bozhinov 13:54, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Why was List of English words from Latin verb forms transwikied with no discussion and then speedy-deleted? Wikipedia has a very large number of lists of English words by etymology ( French, Portuguese, Yiddish, Dutch, Tamil, Hebrew, Turkic, Korean, and many others). For this reason it seems as if List of English words from Latin verb forms would be more at home in Wikipedia than in Wiktionary. AJD ( talk) 18:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Your notion of neutral is very strange; I think most people who consult wikipedia would like to know what the real situation is, as to the size of a country for example, not what some other people would like it to be. The truth is that Mayotte is part of France, not Comoros, and the people who actually live there have just voted overwhelmingly to become even more so. You refer to UN resolutions: the only ones I know of are PROPOSED resolutions which were vetoed by France and are thus null and void. Arab and African organizationa you mention have also expressed vain desires about about how they would like things to be in Palestine, for example; this doesn't change the real situation in the world people actually live in. Wran ( talk) 09:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
However, if you would like to discuss the issue of the island's political status absent the red herring of the recent vote, that's fine. Unfortunately, the "truth" is not that Mayotte is part of France, but rather that France claims and administers Mayotte as a part of France. Nor is "the truth" what we are after, neutrality is a different concept. Now, your evidence here is not very persuasive. Your first point, about the UN resolutions, is simply wrong: there have been around four separate UN resolutions passed in the last 35 years each affirming the original resolution on the matter which stated that the "occupation by France of the Comorian island of Mayotte constitutes a flagrant encroachment on the national unity of the Comorian State." This is all discussed in the article itself, and referenced in footnotes 4 and 5. The "real situation" that people live in is that the French administer an island that is internationally recognized to be the sovereign territory of another country. Your invocation of Palestine is especially pertinent, since, as you'll see at Israel, Wikipedia does not take Israel's law as our guide for defining political status, but follows international convention by not including them in the map, population, area statistics, and referring to them as "adjacent" and "occupied" territories. Similarly, see Morocco, where the internationally unrecognized occupation of Western Sahara is not part of our definition of the country despite Morocco's de facto administration, and Cyprus, where the internationally recognized borders of the country include Northern Cyprus, despite the fact that it has no de facto control. Of course, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't explain the status of Mayotte in the article, but it already does that painstakingly. Dominic· t 10:59, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you blocked this user for "trolling", but looking at Special:Contributions/CaptchaCompliance, I only see one edit, which was certainly not trolling, and the user has no deleted contributions. Where did this trolling take place? Yours, -- Aervanath ( talk) 03:41, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
I would ask you to be careful and judicious about deleting transwikied titles. In my experience, nine out of ten stay around as disambiguation pages or redirects, and the edit history is useful for the purposes of building such. Since "deletion" on Wikipedia simply means "hiding edit history from non-admins", I see little merit in deleting transwikied articles, just try to turn them into an appropriate redirect or disambig page.
In the specific case of Jutsu, I must also ask you, where is the transwikied article? I know that the transwiki template claimed that "its dictionary counterpart can be found at either Wiktionary:Transwiki:Jutsu or Wiktionary:Jutsu." But simply clicking on these two links is enough to establish that this is not, in fact, the case. It would appear that you deleted an article that had not in fact been transwikied. I would ask you to either undo your deletion (to preserve the edit history), or alternatively make sure that you do transwiki the material you deleted. Thank you. -- dab (��) 13:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh dear. I see that you are deleting many many articles for "transwikification". Have you not made sure for each one that they really were transwikied? If you haven't, you could be doing rather a lot of damage here. Please make sure that each article you delete on the basis of "has been transwikied" has really been transwikied. Otherwise undelete them, or transwiki them yourself! -- dab (��) 13:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
indeed it will. By editors forced to do the same work you had deleted earlier on. I will ask you again to undelete the edit histories you have erroneously deleted, claiming they had been transwikied. You have deleted 55 revisions at jutsu alone. This is work people have invested in documenting the term. It may be arguable that this work would be more at home at wiktionary, which is why we have the transwiki process. The A5 criterion will allow you to delete the edit history at en-wiki only after the content has been moved to wiktionary, nb correctly preserving the history to satisfy GFDL. If you want to delete content for other reasons than A5, do not invoke A5.
You are an admin, and I should not need to explain this to you. You invoked a CSD (A5), which did not apply. I assume it was an honest mistake. Now I have drawn your attention to the mistake you made, you would be expected to clean up after yourself, and not trust that "it will be cleaned up before long" (viz., by others). -- dab (��) 15:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

The editors earlier discussed and essentially unanminously agreed that this link should be in place. The presence of (appropriate) jokes in physics articles and text books is an entirely appropriate and traditional thing, and this particular comic is written by a physics expert. If it wasn't for the fact that we couldn't get a license for it (it's licensed non commercial, but the wikipedia is commercial), this would be in the article. It is entirely appropriate to link to material that we cannot include in the wikipedia for licensing reasons.- ( User) Wolfkeeper ( Talk) 01:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!
You recently found a couple of User:Brexx sockpuppets in the above SPI case. I didn't want to add anything to the above case because it's now closed but still hasn't been archived so I prefer not to mess with it for now. I wanted to ask you if you'd be willing to check Forgivenesss ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) as a possible sock of Brexx. Forgivenesss started editing shortly after the two confirmed socks were confirmed and blocked and is editing all of the same articles.
Let me know if you'd prefer that I list it over at SPI.

I've been contacted by User:Ace Baker with respect to the above-captioned article; the link will take you to an AfD discussion that you closed in 2005. Please see my talk page ( here) for the details; I deleted a recent re-posting of this article after it had been tagged as having failed a previous AfD. Essentially, this editor has offered me some evidence that the article should be re-mounted; because of a comment in the earlier AfD that "Some unhappy ETS patients have an axe to grind about the side-effects of their surgery, so they are appropriating Wikipedia in order to advance their cause, both in this and in the ETS entry" I wanted to proceed very carefully. My understanding of the relevant policies is that you should be consulted before anything else happens, and that if you were to agree that the article should be re-examined, the next step is deletion review. My experience in this area is extremely limited -- for instance, I've never closed an AfD -- and so I am hoping that your greater experience will guide this process from here. May I hear from you on this topic, please? Thanks in advance for your trouble. Accounting4Taste: talk 17:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Two very pertinent facts exist today that were not present during the 2005 deletion of Corposcindosis:
1. There now exists an online treatise on the subject, a treatise which contains approximately 200 references to mainstream published medical literature. [9]
2. A citation of the word Coproscindosis, along with its definition, has been published in a mainstream medical journal. [10]
Thank you in advance for restoring this important article. The fact that there are depressed/angry people suffering this condition is no reason at all to delete a wikipedia article. There are many people angry about Bernard Madoff for example.

You offered on the very bottom of this page to help if more ScienceGolfFanatic socks ever returned. I've been emailing him off and on since July and I had come to suspect that he'd be back as soon as school started since he'd be able to evade his rangeblock. I am pretty sure that he is back now, but I don't really think I should add to the SPI case because the two accounts I suspect to be his so far are already blocked. What I'm after is trying to get my suspicions confirmed so that some sort of rangeblock can be placed; otherwise he could just keep coming back (some schools have a different IP address for each computer in the school). The two accounts which I've found are Joejoejoejoejoejoejoejoejoe and Tmffqfs Tpdl. If necessary I can explain what makes me suspicious of these two particular accounts, since I realize it would not be obvious to most other editors, and because "Soap thinks you're ScienceGolfFan" isn't really going to convince a checkuser.

Some web links (in Finnish or Swedish): [13], [14], [15], [16], [17] and [18].

Hi, i noticed you a perfomed checkuser on IP 210.49.251.226 in the past, showing him to be a sockpuppet of indef blocked user:AKR619. He has returned to List of science fiction themes to revert to a non-consensus version, and also to WWE Hall of Fame, but with a new IP: 220.237.74.225. He is pretending to not be user:AKR619 (the sockmaster), but the editing pattern is obvious. His edits to these article already earned him more than one indefinate block in the past, and since the indef, his IP was warned and blocked a few times, so seems incorrigible.
I think it is so obivous that a checkuser is not needed, but i have never requested one before, so don't know the procedure. Do you think a new checkuser is needed?

Hi, I notice that you recently identified User:NoCal100 and User:Canadian Monkey as likely part of the same sock farm. If you look at this thread you will see that before these two were equated some of us thought that another account was run by one or the other of them. If your checkuser on them showed up the same ISP/geopraphical area as indicated by the two IP addresses that Nableezy mentions in that thread, then could you please prompt an admin to take appropriate action. Also, if you look at this archived comment to me, you'll see that an editor on the other side of the I/P dispute agree with Nableezy and my supicions about Breein1007 being a sock account related to CM/NoCalton. An SPI was raised about Bree possibly being run by Canadian Monkey alittle while ago but it was closed because of the lack of a recent trail for CM shortly before he reactivated and you did your own Checkuser on him. I asked the clerk who closed that SPI to consider reopening it (see [19]) but they have given me no indication of an opinion on this.

You deleted the image File:Ongal.jpg. The page had an OTRS ticket, the Commons transfer page did not. Please be more careful in checking what you delete. — TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 01:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:1980 plebiscite ballot.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Killiondude ( talk) 07:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
One week ago, you wrote: Please post your thoughts succinctly and without the rhetoric and I will be happy to keep talking about it. [24] I immediately took the time to respond. [25] You then ignored the response. Why? Meanwhile, the language I find so offensive remains in the official AUSC report. Please respond. -- JohnWBarber ( talk) 19:20, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
This is an interesting allegation (sockpuppetry). Is there a way one can change or delete an existing user name? For identification purposes, I would rather use a different user name (MuJami). As Racepacket pointed out, I made this request previously.
As there does not appear to be a method to edit one's user name I thought it best to create a "new" profile. Unfortunately (yet understandably)someone misconstrued this act as sockpuppetry.
Please advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by John E. Rhea ( talk • contribs) 01:15, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for running a CU on Peter Damian. One of the socks you uncovered, User:I love SUV's, is the selfdeclared (by both named accounts) same as account User:HistorianofScience, who is not blocked and hasn't come up in the CU. Do I need to start a new SPI or cna you run the additional check based on this info? Fram ( talk) 09:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm a tiny bit confused... you wrote that you blocked an IP... [26]... but I reported an editor account. Could you confirm? Sorry, just want to be sure. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 13:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know that it was relisted to check on another IP that popped up. – MuZemike 18:03, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
