Hey Jayron. I just created a new help desk template, {{ Edit refs}} since I see the question it addresses come up fairly often. I wanted to let you know that I grabbed your text from the help desk from earlier today as a starting point in creating it, and so I mentioned you in the edit summary of the template's creation both because I like to give credit where credit is due, and because it was necessary for compliance with the GFDL. Of course, if it bothers you to have been mentioned in this way, I can delete and recreate. Cheers.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 23:50, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
I am much inclined to unblock this user, but since you asked a question on the user's talk page, I thought it better to consult you first. The evidence of sockpuppetry is not strong, because if the statement inserted into the article is true then it is perfectly plausible that more than one editor would come up with it, in somewhat different wording, which is what happened. Since a version of the statement has now remained in the article unchallenged (as far as I can see) for two years, I suspect that the statement is true. I agree that accepting the block for well over two years and then requesting an unblock is surprising, but not in itself an offense, and there are many user accounts which are used as sporadically as this. (We tend not to notice them, because obviously we rarely have reason to look at an an account that is not being used, but they do exist.) It also seems to me that, even if the user was using more than one account, they did not do anything seriously abusive with them, and it was a long time ago. Normally in these circumstances I would consult the blocking administrator before making a decision, but in this case the blocking admin is not currently active on Wikipedia. My opinion is that considering that, as I have said, the evidence of sockpuppetry is weak, and that no harm was done by it anyway, we should unblock. Any comment on that?

Hi -- in the time while you were writing your decline, I was semi-protecting the article.

I read your statement, and am now more confused than ever. Am I to understand Template: Merge to and Template: Merge from are no longer to be used for these articles? Are they now obsolete for all articles? For months now I've been using them for candidates who might well be notable for only one event/election, and telling other Wikipedians that's the correct way to handle these situations. Are you saying that's wrong and they should all be AfDs? I'm particularly concerned about the lack of requirement or even recommendation to notify those involved with the article in that case - or at least that's been the practice here. Also, the lack of requirement or even recommendation to keep the history easily available to 'ordinary' Wikipedians by doing a redirect to the election article without deleting it first. Please clarify. Flatterworld ( talk) 16:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger ( submissions), with 2260, and third to Casliber ( submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows ( submissions), William S. Saturn ( submissions), Staxringold ( submissions) and ThinkBlue ( submissions). Also, congratulations to Sasata ( submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber ( submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold ( submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular ( submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger ( submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Candlewicke ( submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Hi - I just noticed that you reverted my edit, saying that it should be discussed on the talk page. It *was* mooted on the talk page, and met no opposition. The point I made there is that "glam rock" is a very lazy description of Queen, based more on how they looked than how they sound. You'll note that the reference cited is NOT primarily about Queen. Anyway, shall we take this to the "Genre" section of the Queen talk page? I'm keen to hear your thoughts. 213.107.110.183 ( talk) 21:08, 5 November 2010 (UTC) Chris

Hey Jayron. I see you came up with a reason to block this editor. I saw your AIV note, which left me a bit flummoxed. I was entering a follow-up that read like this:
The templates that have been left very clearly indicate that the material being added is unsourced negative or controversial biographical material. With the greatest of respect, there is really no need for a personal message since I could not possibly be more clear than that. I am not that articulate. Also, the fact that all the edits have been of the same nature to the article, the subject of which resembles the editor’s userid, strongly suggests that this editor has a single purpose and that is to vandalize that page: MicheleWingnut ==> Michele Bachmann.
But then, I got the edit conflict notice, etc., and discovered that you had changed your mind! What a relief. Thanks. If it matters at all, I think it was a good decision. — Spike Toronto 06:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I'd dispute the claim of Forum-shopping, as there seems to be 100% agreement on the Deletion Review that the administrator misbehaved and acted out of process simply to delete something he personally disliked...there should also be an ANI thread so that he can be cautioned about his use of tools not being a personal fiat.

Can you please respect your block period at least this time? wikiproject Albania (as you say) has added some dyks while you are blocked so I don't understand why you are claiming that (you still owe an apology about this aggressive edit [ [5]] while being blocked).

Please note that there's a new discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/2010 ArbCom election voting procedure in which you may wish to comment. It is expected to close in about a week. You have received this message because you participated in a similar discussion (2009 AC2 RfC) last year. Roger talk 05:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I read your statement, and am now more confused than ever. Am I to understand Template: Merge to and Template: Merge from are no longer to be used for these articles? Are they now obsolete for all articles? For months now I've been using them for candidates who might well be notable for only one event/election, and telling other Wikipedians that's the correct way to handle these situations. Are you saying that's wrong and they should all be AfDs? I'm particularly concerned about the lack of requirement or even recommendation to notify those involved with the article in that case - or at least that's been the practice here. Also, the lack of requirement or even recommendation to keep the history easily available to 'ordinary' Wikipedians by doing a redirect to the election article without deleting it first. Please clarify. Flatterworld ( talk) 16:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger ( submissions), with 2260, and third to Casliber ( submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows ( submissions), William S. Saturn ( submissions), Staxringold ( submissions) and ThinkBlue ( submissions). Also, congratulations to Sasata ( submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber ( submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold ( submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular ( submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger ( submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Candlewicke ( submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Hi - I just noticed that you reverted my edit, saying that it should be discussed on the talk page. It *was* mooted on the talk page, and met no opposition. The point I made there is that "glam rock" is a very lazy description of Queen, based more on how they looked than how they sound. You'll note that the reference cited is NOT primarily about Queen. Anyway, shall we take this to the "Genre" section of the Queen talk page? I'm keen to hear your thoughts. 213.107.110.183 ( talk) 21:08, 5 November 2010 (UTC) Chris

Hey Jayron. I see you came up with a reason to block this editor. I saw your AIV note, which left me a bit flummoxed. I was entering a follow-up that read like this:
The templates that have been left very clearly indicate that the material being added is unsourced negative or controversial biographical material. With the greatest of respect, there is really no need for a personal message since I could not possibly be more clear than that. I am not that articulate. Also, the fact that all the edits have been of the same nature to the article, the subject of which resembles the editor’s userid, strongly suggests that this editor has a single purpose and that is to vandalize that page: MicheleWingnut ==> Michele Bachmann.
But then, I got the edit conflict notice, etc., and discovered that you had changed your mind! What a relief. Thanks. If it matters at all, I think it was a good decision. — Spike Toronto 06:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Dear Jayron32 thank you for unblocking my account. I can only assert you that I never did any vandalism agaist Wiki and I am very happy that my account works again. DidiWeidmann ( talk) 09:56, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Technical evidence is stale. Can you please take action regarding the block evasion, with respect to the obvious behavioral evidence? The disruption and POV-pushing by the account violating block evasion, is now ongoing across multiple pages both in article mainspace, and in portal space. Thank you for your time. -- Cirt ( talk) 17:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for coming to my defense in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. You seem like a pretty nice guy after all. Your right, I am trying to improve the article. After looking at several articles outside wikipedia today, I noticed they title them Franco-American (French American) Seems fair! Nobody loses, nobody wins, and it seems to please everyone. What do you think? I had not thought of that previously. Cheers!-- Chnou ( talk) 05:17, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Hey Jayron, I was criticized for refactoring a response you gave at the Ref Desk. This was my edit; clearly Scray didn't think it was funny. I hope my edit summary convinces you that it was intended in the best of spirits, but I am fully aware that I shouldn't have. My apologies if it rubbed you the wrong way also.

Jayron,
My sincerest of apologies for continuing to bug you about this problem which you replied to in the Help Desk: [6]. I replied to it, and would greatly appreciate it if you could please answer this one last question (in the help desk).
All the best of wishes.-- MarshalN20 | Talk 15:28, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Why did you close that discussion? It was a completely different discussion, with different questions and a different purpose. -- Kumioko ( talk) 06:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
I agree with you about WP:ARBSCI, but Delicious carbuncle ( talk · contribs) has not yet been notified about the remedies from that case potentially being applied to this user, from an uninvolved admin. Perhaps you could do that? In any event, the disruptive BLP violations should be actionable by an admin, irrespective of this particular case, due to the blatant and wanton nature of the BLP violations. -- Cirt ( talk) 08:05, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Would I be violating 3rr if I restored a comment for the third time that has been removed several times with rude comments in edit summaries? access_denied ( talk) 03:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
[8] Unacceptable; you should know better than to use an edit summary like that under the circumstances. And why did you remove talk page access? Again, that makes it difficult to communicate with TFM. Gimmetoo ( talk) 11:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
User talk:217.171.129.69 is blocked, by you, for one year for vandalism. I am looking at the edit history and I don't see it. Could you, perhaps, elaborate so I can respond intelligently to the unblock request? Thanks. -- Jayron 32 05:53, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
I'd dispute the claim of Forum-shopping, as there seems to be 100% agreement on the Deletion Review that the administrator misbehaved and acted out of process simply to delete something he personally disliked...there should also be an ANI thread so that he can be cautioned about his use of tools not being a personal fiat.

Per your notification about Scientology-related articles, I wanted to make sure that you saw this. Just to be clear, my interest is not Scientology, but ensuring a neutral point of view. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle ( talk) 21:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
When you said: "What kind of bullshit is this? Because someone doesn't react to an uninvited act of aggression in the way you want them to, they are somehow at fault?" I said that " I wouldn't, (...) say that the victim are at fault somehow." Not that they are at fault somehow. Regarding your indention, it seems you mean that I said so, when this is not the case.

Hi. I am trying to find out why EpiSurveyor was removed from the list of open-source health software. I am the head of the company that makes it. I'm not an expert in Wikipedia, but I think from looking at the history that you removed it. Can you explain why, or point me to the person who did remove it if it isn't you?
The specific page I'm referring to is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_healthcare_software
Thanks.
Jayron32,
Thank you so much for all your help, it is much appreciated!
What else do I need to provide for you to get this page published. In regards to verification and sources, most of it is public record and birth/residence/marital/kids stuff. His 'Author' sources I took from www.curtisjhopfenbeck.com and his books are available on www.barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, etc. Please let me know what else I need to provide to you. His publicist was kind enough to forward me a photo as well, how do I submit that to you? When will the page be activated?
Thanks so much Jayron, I REALLY appreciate the help!

Can you edit protect the page? There is a lot of chatter about him being bought out and replaced with Mike Leach, and I expect this to continue until there is an announcement next week as the AD said. Might also want to consider protecting Mike Leach (American football coach) and Maryland Terrapins football which have seen similar unconstructive additions.
