Some good detective work by Uncle Milty ( talk · contribs) has unearthed a nest of hoax user pages, purporting to be bios of actors or singers, with many details copied from real articles and names altered. The common feature he noticed was that they used images uploaded by JaasoneDeruulo ( talk · contribs). As I worked through deleting the first dozen, I noticed that all these fake people had the same birthday, 21 August, in years from 1978 to 1988. Searching for that date, Uncle Milty has uncovered another dozen likely hoax user pages. Full list at User:Uncle Milty/Hoax page links.
Hoax user pages are a problem, because they don't get the usual New Page Patrol scrutiny. I have indef-blocked JaasoneDeruulo, but that doesn't help much, because he sets up a new account for each new hoax. I have not bothered to block all these fake users, who have never done anything but set up their user pages.
My question is: I didn't think an SPI was necessary, the quacking is too loud, but I would like to run a checkuser on him and these fake users, to see if there is an underlying IP we can block, to stop this nuisance continuing. Should I raise an SPI in order to ask for that? Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 21:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Okay, you have stumbled on quite a farm:
Confirmed JaasoneDeruulo ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) =
Stale, but almost certainly related.
I used the mass blocker to block and tag most of these accounts. You may want to add this list to the SPI page... J.delanoy gabs adds 20:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I need a Rangeblock on my entire school as many of the students there have decided to waste their lunches vandalizing after one of them saw me using Igloo. :) I've already contacted the person in charge of computers at my school and he said he couldn't do anything about it. That leaves me with the only available option being to come here and ask for a Rangeblock. The name of the school is Walter Reed Middle School (yeah, I'm a minor) with the address being "4525 Irvine Ave., North Hollywood, CA 91602, (818) 487-7600" I gave the phone number in case you wanted to contact them.

Who are the kind, gentle souls vandalizing my talk page? 4chan-ers? Eagles 24/7 (C) 03:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi J. Would you mind running CheckUser on Gwen-chan ( talk · contribs)? The account is only 5 days old, yet she has made contributions suggesting significant wikiexperience. See here and here. These diffs show knowledge far beyond a tyro.
Also, she is doing a lot of recent changes patrol, including warning vandals with appropriate templates, first manually and then using Twinkle. While this is in itself a good thing, how does someone who has just joined know how to revert and template on their first day and then move onto TW by the 4th day? On only her 2nd edit, she reformatted citations within an article; correctly, yes, but showing significant citation template knowledge. By her 5th edit, she was reverting vandalism and templating vandals.
I am hoping that CheckUser can provide a second point of triangulation for sockpuppetry. Thanks! — Spike Toronto 23:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
I am aware that checkuser is not for fishing and thought I was not doing so. Perhaps you have misread me, or I was insufficiently clear (not unusual with me, I assure you!). Also, as I said, I did not have another point of triangulation (i.e., “related to another account”). But, are we not supposed to report sockpuppets or possible sockpuppets? I was not aware that the sockpuppet policy only applied if the secondary accounts are being disruptive. All I expected from you was for you to use the tools at your disposal to see if the user’s IP is editing from multiple, undeclared accounts, which I have been told by other Administrators violates our sockpuppet policy. Again, I was not fishing, or at least as I understood it here:
Checking an account where the alleged sockmaster is unknown, but there is reasonable suspicion of sockpuppetry is not fishing - a suspected sock-puppet's operator is sometimes unknown until checked. Please note that a check coming up negative does not mean that the original basis for the check was invalid.
However, from what you’ve told me here, I should only be concerned about a sockpuppet if its behavior is disruptive. Have I understood you correctly? Thanks! (Aside: In the past, our interactions have been more civil (see here, here, here (no action, but cordial response), here, here (recent one, resolved before you could answer), and here (no response, but blocked by User:Mufka). I am sorry that I offended you.) — Spike Toronto 05:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that the page "Bear Hands" was deleted, presumably as Not Notable. I know nothing about the conditions of its deletion and make no appeal against whatever logic gave rise to the decision at the time, as these elements are beside the fact of the page's present requirement to be reinstated (the band in question having become notable). Indeed these considerations being superfluous I merely wish to inform you that I intend to re-create the page. Xabian40409 ( talk) 09:26, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe User:Brighter Green and User:Carroll Gardens to be the same editor. When User:Brighter Green had edits deleted from Factory farming (see revision history), because of a conflict of interest — the citations were to his own website — these edits, still with links to www.brightergreen.org, were re-inserted the next day by User:Carroll Gardens, an account not registered until after the conflit-of-interest edits were deleted.
Since editing in this manner with two accounts would not seem to satisfy WP:SOCK#LEGIT, would you please CheckUser User:Brighter Green and User:Carroll Gardens? Thanks a million! — Spike Toronto 06:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
As for those two accounts, I feel rather foolish. Of course I should have checked the logs. I knew the account had a conflict of interest username. Therefore, if I had looked at his talk page, I would have seen the coi username notification from User:Gyrofrog, and the subsequent username block from User:Dank. I should have done some more research first. That’s not like me.

I started drafting an article on BGO Records (
User:Arjayay/BGO Records) before discovering you had deleted a previous article.
As I have no way of knowing if this is "similar to the previously deleted page", I am, as suggested, contacting the deleting administrator
I cannot find any specific notability guidelines for record companies.
As listed in my draft, BGOs current artist roster includes over 300 artists who are notable enough to have their own WP article.
Searching WP for potential internal links gave over 150 matches (82 for BGO Records, 13 for Beat Goes On Records & 57 for BGO)
Could the article that was deleted be posted at the foot of my draft? I would also welcome any comments before I continue with this.

Hey J.! As he who knows everything, I wonder if you could help me with a problem I am having with my SUL Account? When I log in here at the English Wikipedia, if I then go to other language Wikipedias, I am logged in. Good so far. But, when I go over to any of the other Wikimedia projects (e.g., Meta, Wiktionary, Commons, etc.), I am rarely if ever logged in and have to do it manually. These are my SUL details. Sometimes, over at the side, there is a warning at s4, whatever that means. Any ideas? Can I fix this? Thanks! — Spike Toronto 18:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
However, it still does not log me into any non-Wikipedia Wikimedia projects (e.g., Commons, Meta, Wiktionary, etc.), even though these are specified in my detailed SUL listing. As odd as this question is going to sound, is it possible that the SUL cookie does not have the letters wiki in it, and, therefore, did not get deleted? Any other suggestions? Do you think that this is something that I should take to WP:VPT or some other place here at Wikipedia? (I’m sure J. wishes I would sod off from his page! ) Thanks for all your help! — Spike Toronto 08:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
So, the problem, I guess, is either security level or third-party cookies. Yet, there were a lot of Wikimedia cookies that I deleted; there was one for each Wikimedia project. So, it must have accepted them at one time or other.
One comment regarding trusted sites. My browser, each and every time I surf over to a trusted site, pops up a dialogue box asking if I’m sure I want to go there. This boggles my mind since the obvious answer would be, Well, it is a trusted site, n’est-ce pas?
I hope this test unlocks the mystery for you Shirik. You’re being a great help! Thanks! — Spike Toronto 09:10, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 20:54, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Credo Reference has donated another 400 reference accounts to Wikipedians, and we're currently drawing up a page for people to apply for them; the list will open next week some time, hopefully.

I like your message that starts with something like "Beware that I am a Checkuser." I do recall nominating you to be an administrator but hardly anyone supported and it failed right away. But after another attempt, not only I notice it passed, I see you are a Checkuser and a Steward!

Due to your massive activity on the English Wikipedia, I actually had to re-write a substantial amount of my analysis code to deal with the inordinate amount of edits you perform. I now refer to this method as the "J.delanoy approximation". I thought you'd enjoy knowing that. :D -- EpochFail( talk| work) 23:17, 25 August 2011 (UTC) |
Dear J.delanoy. I am really surprised to hear that I could be editing from someone else's account. [3] This is simply impossible technically. I am the only account for my edits. Some editors may develop close online camaraderie on certain pages of their mutual interest but that is where the issue stops. Your use of wikistalk is controversial. I added my name next to names of users who opposed my edits and wikistalk found very close similarity. There were several attempts to file bogus SPIs but all of them failed.

Do not care what is your nationality and what is your knowledge about Macedonia. But if you want to be correct and neutral: 1. Neutral approach you can found in Macedonia disambiguation on other languages , f.e. in Portuguese 2. There is no necessity to place map in disambiguation, but if it is so important for you, the map must be neutral. You say “ revert deeper - there is nothing wrong with the map” Are sure ? There is marked only one part of disambiguation . Why ? 2.1 May be this part was a core of Ancient Macedonia ? No – the core was mainly in Macedonia (Greece). Futhermore, from the point of view of ancient geography, name of marked part is Peonia. 2.2 May be this part was the core of Ottoman Macedonia before 1912 ? No- the core was again Macedonia (Greece) with main center Thessaloniki. 2.3. May be marked part is the biggest part of former ottoman Macedonia ? No- the biggest part again is Macedonia (Greece),about 60% of former ottoman province.
This map is silly irredentist game, trying to proof that the new slavic-albanian state is core of Macedonia and there are other parts under control of neighbors.. This have nothing to do with real geography and history of region. If you want to participate in this silly game, this is your right. But do not say that there is nothing wrong. It is clear violation of neutrality. Macedon-40 ( talk) 13:04, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
And you are really “thoroughly SICK” as you even not try to understand what I say. Irrespectively of my personal position on this “stupid dispute” my demand is different. Once again. While somebody put the term "Republic of Macedonia" on the map, the term Macedonia to be placed on bigger part, on the map of Greece. Otherwise it is simply silly attempt, using Wiki as political tool, for Usurpation and Monopolisation of geographical and historical term. If you do not understand this – it is your problem.

I haven't been active in the protection/blocking functions, so this isn't so much a challenge as it is a question. I saw the request for semi-protection at Counter-Strike. I see an IP has been attempting to add a link not in compliance with WP:EL. I do see a warning at the IP talk page, but only a single warning. I thought the usual sequence was a series of escalating warnings, with a final warning as the last step before blocking. I do know that the sequence can jump to a block without the interim or final warnings, but this doesn't meet what I thought were the usual exceptions. Your thoughts would be welcome. As an aside, I was in the middle of granting semi-protection, and not even sure I support my own decision, as I recently argued that when the problem comes from one editor, that editor should be addressed. However, given the repeated nature, and the need to revdel prior additions, and the lack of interim warnings, I thought Semi-protection would be the best course. Again, this isn't a big deal, but I'm interested in the thought process.'-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 18:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear J.delanoy,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 07:17, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. The Distribution America article has been deleted a couple of times in the past, and I'm contacting you as the most recent deleting administrator. Check "what links here" to Distribution America to see a bunch of red links I've created, simply by double-bracketing pre-existing references, to establish notability. This is a retailers' cooperative, and some of the members of the co-op have articles on Wikipedia. I could re-start the article from scratch, but I guess policy prefers restoring the old article and fixing it. I can edit to tone down or eliminate the blatant advertising the deleted version apparently had. Note that List of retailers' cooperatives#Hardware stores shows that this is the only major hardware co-op that doesn't have an article. Thanks, Wbm1058 ( talk) 15:27, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi J Delanoy
I'm looking for your checkuser advice on this please.
I was trying to get other editors to help with the article Callum Stone because this user moved it from mainstream to a list article, I'm trying to improve it to get it back to mainstream. One of the editors I asked looked at this editors user page and found that it has been tagged as a possible sockpuppet of User:KirkleyHigh. Bit worried that the account was still editing so I looked on the SPI page for the user and can't find any report logged for User:WhatTheWorldNeedsNow, when I looked on the user talk page I also can't see anything mentioned about an SPI report there. I've looked at the edits, they are similar as I can see KirkleyHigh was blocked for uploading image violations and WhatTheWorldNeedsNow has received warnings for similar offences. I'm not too sure if I should open an SPI seeing as the user is already tagged as a possible sock, can you offer some advice please on what to do?-- 5 albert square ( talk) 11:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Some good detective work by Uncle Milty ( talk · contribs) has unearthed a nest of hoax user pages, purporting to be bios of actors or singers, with many details copied from real articles and names altered. The common feature he noticed was that they used images uploaded by JaasoneDeruulo ( talk · contribs). As I worked through deleting the first dozen, I noticed that all these fake people had the same birthday, 21 August, in years from 1978 to 1988. Searching for that date, Uncle Milty has uncovered another dozen likely hoax user pages. Full list at User:Uncle Milty/Hoax page links.
Hoax user pages are a problem, because they don't get the usual New Page Patrol scrutiny. I have indef-blocked JaasoneDeruulo, but that doesn't help much, because he sets up a new account for each new hoax. I have not bothered to block all these fake users, who have never done anything but set up their user pages.
My question is: I didn't think an SPI was necessary, the quacking is too loud, but I would like to run a checkuser on him and these fake users, to see if there is an underlying IP we can block, to stop this nuisance continuing. Should I raise an SPI in order to ask for that? Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 21:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I need a Rangeblock on my entire school as many of the students there have decided to waste their lunches vandalizing after one of them saw me using Igloo. :) I've already contacted the person in charge of computers at my school and he said he couldn't do anything about it. That leaves me with the only available option being to come here and ask for a Rangeblock. The name of the school is Walter Reed Middle School (yeah, I'm a minor) with the address being "4525 Irvine Ave., North Hollywood, CA 91602, (818) 487-7600" I gave the phone number in case you wanted to contact them.

Who are the kind, gentle souls vandalizing my talk page? 4chan-ers? Eagles 24/7 (C) 03:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi J. Would you mind running CheckUser on Gwen-chan ( talk · contribs)? The account is only 5 days old, yet she has made contributions suggesting significant wikiexperience. See here and here. These diffs show knowledge far beyond a tyro.
Also, she is doing a lot of recent changes patrol, including warning vandals with appropriate templates, first manually and then using Twinkle. While this is in itself a good thing, how does someone who has just joined know how to revert and template on their first day and then move onto TW by the 4th day? On only her 2nd edit, she reformatted citations within an article; correctly, yes, but showing significant citation template knowledge. By her 5th edit, she was reverting vandalism and templating vandals.
I am hoping that CheckUser can provide a second point of triangulation for sockpuppetry. Thanks! — Spike Toronto 23:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
I am aware that checkuser is not for fishing and thought I was not doing so. Perhaps you have misread me, or I was insufficiently clear (not unusual with me, I assure you!). Also, as I said, I did not have another point of triangulation (i.e., “related to another account”). But, are we not supposed to report sockpuppets or possible sockpuppets? I was not aware that the sockpuppet policy only applied if the secondary accounts are being disruptive. All I expected from you was for you to use the tools at your disposal to see if the user’s IP is editing from multiple, undeclared accounts, which I have been told by other Administrators violates our sockpuppet policy. Again, I was not fishing, or at least as I understood it here:
Checking an account where the alleged sockmaster is unknown, but there is reasonable suspicion of sockpuppetry is not fishing - a suspected sock-puppet's operator is sometimes unknown until checked. Please note that a check coming up negative does not mean that the original basis for the check was invalid.
However, from what you’ve told me here, I should only be concerned about a sockpuppet if its behavior is disruptive. Have I understood you correctly? Thanks! (Aside: In the past, our interactions have been more civil (see here, here, here (no action, but cordial response), here, here (recent one, resolved before you could answer), and here (no response, but blocked by User:Mufka). I am sorry that I offended you.) — Spike Toronto 05:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that the page "Bear Hands" was deleted, presumably as Not Notable. I know nothing about the conditions of its deletion and make no appeal against whatever logic gave rise to the decision at the time, as these elements are beside the fact of the page's present requirement to be reinstated (the band in question having become notable). Indeed these considerations being superfluous I merely wish to inform you that I intend to re-create the page. Xabian40409 ( talk) 09:26, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe User:Brighter Green and User:Carroll Gardens to be the same editor. When User:Brighter Green had edits deleted from Factory farming (see revision history), because of a conflict of interest — the citations were to his own website — these edits, still with links to www.brightergreen.org, were re-inserted the next day by User:Carroll Gardens, an account not registered until after the conflit-of-interest edits were deleted.
Since editing in this manner with two accounts would not seem to satisfy WP:SOCK#LEGIT, would you please CheckUser User:Brighter Green and User:Carroll Gardens? Thanks a million! — Spike Toronto 06:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
As for those two accounts, I feel rather foolish. Of course I should have checked the logs. I knew the account had a conflict of interest username. Therefore, if I had looked at his talk page, I would have seen the coi username notification from User:Gyrofrog, and the subsequent username block from User:Dank. I should have done some more research first. That’s not like me.

I started drafting an article on BGO Records (
User:Arjayay/BGO Records) before discovering you had deleted a previous article.
As I have no way of knowing if this is "similar to the previously deleted page", I am, as suggested, contacting the deleting administrator
I cannot find any specific notability guidelines for record companies.
As listed in my draft, BGOs current artist roster includes over 300 artists who are notable enough to have their own WP article.
Searching WP for potential internal links gave over 150 matches (82 for BGO Records, 13 for Beat Goes On Records & 57 for BGO)
Could the article that was deleted be posted at the foot of my draft? I would also welcome any comments before I continue with this.

Hey J.! As he who knows everything, I wonder if you could help me with a problem I am having with my SUL Account? When I log in here at the English Wikipedia, if I then go to other language Wikipedias, I am logged in. Good so far. But, when I go over to any of the other Wikimedia projects (e.g., Meta, Wiktionary, Commons, etc.), I am rarely if ever logged in and have to do it manually. These are my SUL details. Sometimes, over at the side, there is a warning at s4, whatever that means. Any ideas? Can I fix this? Thanks! — Spike Toronto 18:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
However, it still does not log me into any non-Wikipedia Wikimedia projects (e.g., Commons, Meta, Wiktionary, etc.), even though these are specified in my detailed SUL listing. As odd as this question is going to sound, is it possible that the SUL cookie does not have the letters wiki in it, and, therefore, did not get deleted? Any other suggestions? Do you think that this is something that I should take to WP:VPT or some other place here at Wikipedia? (I’m sure J. wishes I would sod off from his page! ) Thanks for all your help! — Spike Toronto 08:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
So, the problem, I guess, is either security level or third-party cookies. Yet, there were a lot of Wikimedia cookies that I deleted; there was one for each Wikimedia project. So, it must have accepted them at one time or other.
One comment regarding trusted sites. My browser, each and every time I surf over to a trusted site, pops up a dialogue box asking if I’m sure I want to go there. This boggles my mind since the obvious answer would be, Well, it is a trusted site, n’est-ce pas?
I hope this test unlocks the mystery for you Shirik. You’re being a great help! Thanks! — Spike Toronto 09:10, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 20:54, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I see you're a steward, so maybe you can help. Can you read the message I left at User:OsamaK and the linked message there (in English) that I left at ar.wiki? An ar.wiki user uploaded a bunch of copyvios to commons, which were deleted there. (The user participated in the deletion discussion.) Immediately after the deletion at commons, the user reuploaded the copyvios to ar.wiki, where they are now in use. Thanks for your help, and let me know if this isn't something stewards do (I don't understand the role terribly well). Calliopejen1 ( talk) 18:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicole Sheridan 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. David in DC ( talk) 20:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Why was my upload of File:24-redemption-poster.jpg deleted? I was using it on the 24: Redemption page. I'm trying to upload a new version from http://www.movieposterdb.com/poster/525a6334, but it won't let me do it because it was a duplicate of the one you deleted. What gives?

Do not care what is your nationality and what is your knowledge about Macedonia. But if you want to be correct and neutral: 1. Neutral approach you can found in Macedonia disambiguation on other languages , f.e. in Portuguese 2. There is no necessity to place map in disambiguation, but if it is so important for you, the map must be neutral. You say “ revert deeper - there is nothing wrong with the map” Are sure ? There is marked only one part of disambiguation . Why ? 2.1 May be this part was a core of Ancient Macedonia ? No – the core was mainly in Macedonia (Greece). Futhermore, from the point of view of ancient geography, name of marked part is Peonia. 2.2 May be this part was the core of Ottoman Macedonia before 1912 ? No- the core was again Macedonia (Greece) with main center Thessaloniki. 2.3. May be marked part is the biggest part of former ottoman Macedonia ? No- the biggest part again is Macedonia (Greece),about 60% of former ottoman province.
This map is silly irredentist game, trying to proof that the new slavic-albanian state is core of Macedonia and there are other parts under control of neighbors.. This have nothing to do with real geography and history of region. If you want to participate in this silly game, this is your right. But do not say that there is nothing wrong. It is clear violation of neutrality. Macedon-40 ( talk) 13:04, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
And you are really “thoroughly SICK” as you even not try to understand what I say. Irrespectively of my personal position on this “stupid dispute” my demand is different. Once again. While somebody put the term "Republic of Macedonia" on the map, the term Macedonia to be placed on bigger part, on the map of Greece. Otherwise it is simply silly attempt, using Wiki as political tool, for Usurpation and Monopolisation of geographical and historical term. If you do not understand this – it is your problem.

Regarding Spirit In The Sky Paul ( talk · contribs), who I just had the deal with, I saw you tagged them as long-term abuse. Is this someone I'm not aware of? Calabe 1992 06:54, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
I haven't been active in the protection/blocking functions, so this isn't so much a challenge as it is a question. I saw the request for semi-protection at Counter-Strike. I see an IP has been attempting to add a link not in compliance with WP:EL. I do see a warning at the IP talk page, but only a single warning. I thought the usual sequence was a series of escalating warnings, with a final warning as the last step before blocking. I do know that the sequence can jump to a block without the interim or final warnings, but this doesn't meet what I thought were the usual exceptions. Your thoughts would be welcome. As an aside, I was in the middle of granting semi-protection, and not even sure I support my own decision, as I recently argued that when the problem comes from one editor, that editor should be addressed. However, given the repeated nature, and the need to revdel prior additions, and the lack of interim warnings, I thought Semi-protection would be the best course. Again, this isn't a big deal, but I'm interested in the thought process.'-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 18:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear J.delanoy,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 07:17, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. The Distribution America article has been deleted a couple of times in the past, and I'm contacting you as the most recent deleting administrator. Check "what links here" to Distribution America to see a bunch of red links I've created, simply by double-bracketing pre-existing references, to establish notability. This is a retailers' cooperative, and some of the members of the co-op have articles on Wikipedia. I could re-start the article from scratch, but I guess policy prefers restoring the old article and fixing it. I can edit to tone down or eliminate the blatant advertising the deleted version apparently had. Note that List of retailers' cooperatives#Hardware stores shows that this is the only major hardware co-op that doesn't have an article. Thanks, Wbm1058 ( talk) 15:27, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey :). You're being contacted because you are involved in the ACC process, or participated in the original discussion in '08 about the ConfirmAccount extension.

Hi J Delanoy
I'm looking for your checkuser advice on this please.
I was trying to get other editors to help with the article Callum Stone because this user moved it from mainstream to a list article, I'm trying to improve it to get it back to mainstream. One of the editors I asked looked at this editors user page and found that it has been tagged as a possible sockpuppet of User:KirkleyHigh. Bit worried that the account was still editing so I looked on the SPI page for the user and can't find any report logged for User:WhatTheWorldNeedsNow, when I looked on the user talk page I also can't see anything mentioned about an SPI report there. I've looked at the edits, they are similar as I can see KirkleyHigh was blocked for uploading image violations and WhatTheWorldNeedsNow has received warnings for similar offences. I'm not too sure if I should open an SPI seeing as the user is already tagged as a possible sock, can you offer some advice please on what to do?-- 5 albert square ( talk) 11:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi J.delanoy. I have responded with 3 rather lengthy paragraphs on WP:ANEW#User:ElliotJoyce reported by User:Malik Shabazz (Result: ).

Hello. A while back, I have reverted this edit (was using a different computer at the time) to Antarctica. I had thought that it was a bit humorous. I noticed spelling such as "hotest", and the word "fire" used in a context which I would not expect it to be used in, indicating that a find and replace was conducted. The IP address was registered to the postal service. I thought this was a little bit humorous. Not intending to attack another editor, but I almost could think that somebody was going postal!
