Dear Admin, I would like to confirm that Iaaassi was editing Mures Template in good faith. There was a dispute on the deletion of a template created by me, in which we exposed seriously opposing views. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2010_January_26 After we received the admin's decision, we tried to work out a compromise, and as I see from the edits, Iaaassi wanted to implement a compromise that I proposed to him on my talkpage and I expressed my thank on his talkpage for the good intention. I think he may have simply edited more times than was good. This is not the Romanian-Hungarian edit war, but one of co-operation, so let us be happy with it. The template is good as is now. As I was the author both of the deleted Maros (Mures) County template and the new version of this template, and also had a main part in the discussion, I think I can impartially judge on this issue. It would be ironic that Iaassi is blocked when seeking compromise and undestanding. Rokarudi --Rokarudi 14:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey, remember you declined my edit warring report here: [1]
You said that it was not an immediate problem as there was no active edit warring, only chronic. Well now there is, as I said there would be based on my past experiences with that user. Biophys (again as I said he would do) has also now reverted other parts of the article to match his version from September. Can you do something about this now that the edit warring is active or tell me what best to do in this case? Again his sneaky reverts and edit warring have gone on for almost two years, and all attempts at resolution/discussion failed. - YMB29 ( talk) 04:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Peter,
I just went to the Scott Mills entry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Mills ) out of vague curiosity and was going to edit some of the grammatical errors but it seems the page has been protected for some time. Is there any way I can edit or should I send suggested edits to you?

Hi Peter,
You've asked anyone who plans on restoring the information from Stavridis' book to his enter to contact you first. So here I am. I can't see any reason not to have that information there, and plenty of good reasons to have it, including in particular that it has both a personal and professional significance. The IP's claim ( [5]) that it is inaccurate seems like the merest attempt at justification for the continued deletions. His or her claim that it is a copyright violation is clearly false; it's appropriately sourced, and falls under fair use.
I'd be happy to hear your thoughts; I'm trying to see why anyone could object to that material who wasn't already predisposed to argue with Stavridis' interpretation of his family history. (I can understand disagreeing with that--that's neither here nor there--but its appropriateness for inclusion in the article seems indisputable.) I didn't add this info originally, but I do remember checking the Ha'aretz article when it was added, and it checked out. Mundart ( talk) 19:39, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello - It is you! - I could not find how to access the protection log of who protected and unprotected any page. But, now I know how. Can you unprotect bigfoot?
I posted on some administrative unprotect page and to some other poor guy (Killiondude) who I thought had protected it - but he had just put up some kind of protected message and had not in fact protected it.
I see that over 500 people have bigfoot on their watch list - so could you try to unprotect it for a while?
Also - can you nominate me for administrator? I would like to be able to protect and unprotect things on my own. I think I could do a good job. I have done some work in the "Sandbox".
Thanks! 99.150.255.75 ( talk) 20:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
That is 18 months already. Is that the longest any page on Wikipedia has been semi-protected for? Is there a way to check? I would guess that all of those IP's have either signed up for user accounts or stopped trying to edit the bigfoot article by now - Is there an easy way to cross-check to see if when the bigfoot article was protected, the IP vandals started editing the loch ness monster article?
I don't want to come across as a whiney complainer like "Why can IP editors edit the loch ness monster page but not the bigfoot page?" Although I now see that the loch ness monster was protected for a month - but will be unprotected tomorrow. I think it would be good if all of the Cryptids Cryptid became unprotected tomorrow. I see that the bigfoot page has 500 watchers while the loch ness monster page has 200 watchers. Do you know why? Why do some many people watch the page if it is protected? Is there a way for me to see who the watchers are?
I'd like to let them know that the page is protected and maybe they could watch something else. The Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster could do with more watchers. I guess maybe since Bigfoot (the Bigfoot) is from North America and because this is the English Wikipedia that is why more people watch bigfoot. I'd guess that on the Scottish Wikipedia that there are more Loch Ness Monster watchers than bigfoot watchers and likewise for the Nepalese Wikipedia for the Yeti.

Bigfit, aften cryed as Sasquatch, is an alleged ape-like craituir steyin in forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwast region o North Americae. Bigfit is aften described as a muckle, hairy, bipedal humanoid. Mony believers in its existence contend that similar craituirs are foond athort the Yird unner different regional names, maist prominently the Yeti o the Himalayas.
Do you know how to see how many people are watching a page on the Scottish Wikipedia? I couldn't find a spot. Don't worry if you don't read Scottish - It you sound the Scottish words out while "growling" they frequently sound like an English word (and make the letter i sound like a long ee). 99.150.255.75 ( talk) 04:40, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd appreciate if you could lend a hand and look into the above case. You handled the Floyd Vivino case I was involved with last week really well and I was hoping you could help me with this. Sigrit20 has frequently vandalized the 24-7 Spyz article by removing any and all update information on their former drummer, Anthony Johnson despite it having proper citations. After a warning by a fellow user, he did actually stop. Tonight though, I have reason to believe that he has created a new account at Multigrain89 tonight only to continue the same exact disruptive edit. Both accounts seem to be created exclusively for this edit. I've already given him two warnings tonight but I don't foresee it ending. Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give. NJZombie ( talk) 02:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
There are several reasons to delete the passage about Floyd's current ativities:
1. It's an invasion of his privacy. Floyd only gets a night off once a week and he spends it playing piano at a local restaurant. It's no one's business but his own.
2. It's not true. He doesn't perform at Colucci's every Tuesday. He goes there on his nights off when he's not working somewhere else. For example, in March he is booked elsewhere on all but two Tuesdays.
3. Wikipedia's policies specifically prohibit using the site for promotional purposes. To publish this information is promoting the restaurant.
I'd appreciate your cooperation in removing the offending paragraph.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Given that someone had A) just relisted in the same day and B) someone else had tagged the article for rescue the same day you closed it, I think leaving it go for a few more days would be useful. I strongly suspect there are reliable reviews out there (the system is actually very well known among hard-core RPG people). I probably should have tagged it for rescue myself when I !voted.

I am wondering under what category of CSD you deleted Dan Ginnane? I thought the WP:IAR deletions were put on hold until the WP:BLPRFCis completed? Are you aware of WP:Australia's drive to reference all of our unreferenced BLP articles - a task that we are about 75% complete? Please desist with the IAR CSDs and use the existing criteria for speedy deletion, or propose deletion, or take it to AFD.

The text of this FA includes the passage, "At the age of seventeen, in 1676, she met and was courted by her future husband, John Churchill."

Good evening Mr. Symonds, I'm a nephew of one of the victims of flight 653 of Malasya Airlines. Her husband was a Cuban ambassador in Japan and Malasya at the time. Both die in the plane and I'm trying to get more information about that. I would like to know why the plane was hijacked and who was the target.

Enough editors in live time that we can take a chance and lift semi-moderation?
The potential advantage might be that enough people in the Philippines, etc, etc, might be highly motivated to contribute (and might know local news sources, govt sources, etc), but haven't posted before on wiki.
Might be worth taking a chance, or not. I'll defer to your judgment. Cool Nerd ( talk) 23:12, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I did report the IPVandal template on a talk page.

Since the specific editor has used his ability to write from various places in the past (as Alarichus) I believe that the investigation should not be closed so simply [ [11]]. Alexikoua ( talk) 12:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Sure, thanks for the advice. Alexikoua ( talk) 16:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I read the conclusion of the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sarandioti/Archive case and I am offended that you may insinuate a Meatpuppetry case. I have NEVER communicated with anybody off wiki and I feel offended by even you mentioning that possibility. sulmues ( talk) --Sulmues 13:50, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi I noticed you deleted this page. Is their a similar page? Thanks -- Snowleopard100 ( talk) 18:35, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Okay, just wanted to let you know I heard your response. Thanks for the time-- Snowleopard100 ( talk) 19:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Can't you see that the page was being worked on? Emeraude ( talk) 16:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Peter. I noticed that there are now several requests for re-protection on Talk:Bigfoot. Apparently they got a resurgence of vandalism. Bishonen | talk 02:24, 22 February 2010 (UTC).
I tried to edit an article while at home, logged on as my registered user, and got this:
You can still read pages, but you cannot edit, change, or create them. Editing from 218.186.8.0/24 has been disabled by PeterSymonds for the following reason(s):
vandalism This block has been set to expire: 02:26, 22 May 2010. Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and contact other editors and administrators by e-mail. Note: Please use the [show] links across from each header to show more information.
I tried to edit my own home page to add this appeal to unblock, but I got the same message! I had to go out to a different computer to make this change today. Please unblock my IP.

I'd appreciate if you could lend a hand and look into the above case. You handled the Floyd Vivino case I was involved with last week really well and I was hoping you could help me with this. Sigrit20 has frequently vandalized the 24-7 Spyz article by removing any and all update information on their former drummer, Anthony Johnson despite it having proper citations. After a warning by a fellow user, he did actually stop. Tonight though, I have reason to believe that he has created a new account at Multigrain89 tonight only to continue the same exact disruptive edit. Both accounts seem to be created exclusively for this edit. I've already given him two warnings tonight but I don't foresee it ending. Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.

There are several reasons to delete the passage about Floyd's current ativities:
1. It's an invasion of his privacy. Floyd only gets a night off once a week and he spends it playing piano at a local restaurant. It's no one's business but his own.
2. It's not true. He doesn't perform at Colucci's every Tuesday. He goes there on his nights off when he's not working somewhere else. For example, in March he is booked elsewhere on all but two Tuesdays.
3. Wikipedia's policies specifically prohibit using the site for promotional purposes. To publish this information is promoting the restaurant.
I'd appreciate your cooperation in removing the offending paragraph.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Given that someone had A) just relisted in the same day and B) someone else had tagged the article for rescue the same day you closed it, I think leaving it go for a few more days would be useful. I strongly suspect there are reliable reviews out there (the system is actually very well known among hard-core RPG people). I probably should have tagged it for rescue myself when I !voted. Could you reopen it and see if things improve? Hobit ( talk) 18:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Peter, could you warn or block user Szater? He still edit war and uses unreliable sources. LeinaD (t) 21:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I am wondering under what category of CSD you deleted Dan Ginnane? I thought the WP:IAR deletions were put on hold until the WP:BLPRFCis completed? Are you aware of WP:Australia's drive to reference all of our unreferenced BLP articles - a task that we are about 75% complete? Please desist with the IAR CSDs and use the existing criteria for speedy deletion, or propose deletion, or take it to AFD. If you think something is controversial, delete the section, not the article... at least until Jimbo/Arbcom/the RFC make a decision. Thank you. The-Pope ( talk) 17:42, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Any chance this article could be permanently protected from IPs? I think semi-protection is approprriate. It is irritating having to revert stupid IP edits every day. ‡ Himalayan ‡ ΨMonastery 19:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
The text of this FA includes the passage, "At the age of seventeen, in 1676, she met and was courted by her future husband, John Churchill." It also says she was born in 1660, so either the age or the date must be wrong. I don't know which – could you have a look? -- JN 466 20:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Good evening Mr. Symonds, I'm a nephew of one of the victims of flight 653 of Malasya Airlines. Her husband was a Cuban ambassador in Japan and Malasya at the time. Both die in the plane and I'm trying to get more information about that. I would like to know why the plane was hijacked and who was the target. Sometimes I think the Cuban government had something to do in that issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.186.150.100 ( talk) 04:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Enough editors in live time that we can take a chance and lift semi-moderation?
The potential advantage might be that enough people in the Philippines, etc, etc, might be highly motivated to contribute (and might know local news sources, govt sources, etc), but haven't posted before on wiki.
Might be worth taking a chance, or not. I'll defer to your judgment. Cool Nerd ( talk) 23:12, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
User:ObserverFromAbove reminds me very much of Sarandioti. Definitely not a new user, same tone and interests. He was previously editing from this IP [13], which is obviously a proxy. Athenean ( talk) 01:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi there! The above mentioned account is following me around vandalizing an article I've recently created [ [14]]. Quite weird behavior for a rookie. He also seems familiar with the reference management from his first edits. Alexikoua ( talk) 22:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
