Protection

Done for two weeks. I have also sent an abuse report to Southwestern Bell Internet about this. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 23:39, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

They are on a dial-up. All they do is hang up, redial and get a new IP. It happens every so often. The sad thing is they never seem to figure out that there is only one of them and lots of us with rollback tools. They seem to think that they are the first people to have ever thought of doing what they do. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 23:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hihi, I was looking at this one, it's been deleted speedy 3 times, mind if I dump the speedy and take it to AfD for salting? LegoTech·(t)·(c) 04:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead, although I'm not sure why it should have to go to AfD in order to be salted. If it's been deleted three times, then it should be deleted and salted straight off. Enigma ^message 04:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

heh, actually the AfD lasted all of 30 seconds before Stormie saw it and speedied and protected....sometimes it's difficult to explain to an admin whats going on in just the CSD thingy :) LegoTech·(t)·(c) 05:23, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I am restoring this page to how it were before some Ip users change, with some cosusions to make both those who whaned prog death and commas in the page. These user changed the page without consenus, therefore I see fit to revert these edits. While I did go overboard, I wish to make an effort so we don't go though a very messy edit war.

Block request

Sorry to take so long to respond, I jumped in the shower and grabbed a bite to eat (no, not at the same time...yum, soap). As for blocking 70.240.131.121, he stopped vandalizing after his final warning and hasn't vandalized in an hour, so blocking him now would be punitive not preventative, so I'll decline to block, but I'll keep an eye on him.

Yeah, I really wish I'd known about Tommypowell, say, eight months ago. Would've saved a lot of time for a lot of people. Oh well - I'm just glad to have this coming to an end (I'm inclined to agree that the first admin to review that will pull the trigger on an indef-block; I don't see how they could do otherwise).

Friendly IP

If it's OK I think that I'll leave it unprotected for the next 24 hours. The IP really likes my talk page and I'd much rather they were hitting it than hitting a brand new user at random, who then couldn't reply to me because my page was protected. I'm off tomorrow, 16:00 MST (22:00 UTC), for a week anyway so it's not a problem for me and I'll do them all before I go. It'll probably need to be user pages as well. Cheers.

By visiting the main page, you can nominate and vote on the article which you believe should be the Collaboration of the Month. Ideas for a weekly collaboration have also been tossed around. Please continue to keep a look-out for anyone who has substantial experience in editing articles pertaining to The Office. If they're not already in the project, informing them about it would be a great idea. The WikiProject page itself is still in need of some help. If anyone could spruce it up, that would be a great help.	From the desk of Mastrchf91 Thanks for taking the time to read this sixth edition of the project's newsletter. As always, thanks to anyone who made any type of edit that improved an article relating to The Office. The size of the edit or edits does not matter, as any help ultimately helped out that article, and thus the entire Project. As always, don't forget to check into the project main page every once and a while, where I will periodically post announcements that are related to different events. Have a great month everybody, and happy editing! If you would like to offer any suggestions on the creation, appearance, or any other matter of the newsletter, please message me at my talk page. I'm bound to miss something that's happened with the project, so if I miss anything, please inform me of the error.

Proposed early closure of Bring em on‎ AfD

User:Blueboy96 early-closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bring em on‎ on your recommendation. As I said on his talk page, I don't think an early close wasn't warranted. I understand these things are judgment calls, but in this case, the "safe" thing to do would be to let the AfD run its course. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:29, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU, Status, and you!

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Dumpster muffins

Very odd. I've warned (and, per policy, will treat a removal of the warning as a confirmation that it's been read and understood) and watchlisted the talk page. I think that's sufficient for now; we'll see how the user reacts. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I reviewed the page history and his contributions. His mainspace contributions appear to be generally productive (though he has some proclivity towards edit-warring), which suggests to me that he may be a good-faith user whose current talk page behaviour is his idea of a joke. I'm hoping this is the case, and that my warning convinces him that it's not an appropriate joke. If not, I have a block button. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Boigny

Hi Enigmaman. Thank you for proofreading Mr. Boigny's article--it is greatly appreciated. You don't have to stop due to edit conflicts--we're looking for a FA (or at least GA, at its current state) ASAP, and we need more users like you. --I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 00:42, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I worked with Biruitorul on Barthelemy Boganda for FA a few months ago. After it passed FAC, he mentioned that he planned on translating on the French Wikipedia FA versions of Houphouët-Boigny‎ and Léon M'ba. Editorofthewiki began translating Houphouët-Boigny‎ in May, but stopped shortly thereafter (the article at this point was 20KB long). I asked Biruitorul if he was interested in translating and EOTW if he was going to keep translating. Both editors decided to continue translation, and I volunteered to join them. Much to my surprise, we finished the complete translation in six days (a fourth person, Aldux, also collaborated with us). That's the long-winded story of how this collaboration came about. :) Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 01:06, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I was just curious. I found it via User:Keeper76's talk, and I was surprised to see no recent discussion on the talk of an article that has aspirations! Enigma ^message 01:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Pig Empire

I'm not going to push this anymore, but I think it's pretty clear from Eusebeus comment that he was agreeing with Rossami on it's significance, but coming to a different conclusion (that should be deleted). As such, a withdrawal is not valid as withdrawals are only done if there are no delete votes. I am not sure why this raised so much fuss. Leaving the {{rfd}} tag on the redirect and letting it run for a day is hardly a hardship for the editors. And it is a much better idea than trying to shut down someones opinion. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I disagree on both points. Either way, thank you for not persisting. Enigma ^message 01:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Both points? I'm not sure what the second point is, but if it's about withdrawals when there has been a deletion opinion, that's part of the deletion guidelines. Once someone has said delete, their opinion is just as valid as the nominators and the nominator's change of mind doesn't invalidate their opinion. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

As for Eusebeus, have you tried contacting him and asking his opinion on the dispute and the new proposal? I think that would resolve it to everyone's satisfaction. Enigma ^message 01:43, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it would have. But that should have been done by those seeking to close it. The only thing he highlighted was delete & his edit summary was "del". It should have been interpreted as a delete instead of reading into it. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I think that instead of arguing about what someone else meant, the best way to resolve it is to get it straight from the horse's mouth. It also reduces the drama and tension. Enigma ^message 01:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not arguing over what he meant. I'm suggesting that his opinion should have been taken at face value. Those that wanted to read "or re-target" into his words should have been the ones to ask for clarification. That is the proper path to reducing drama and tension. We don't reduce drama and tension by assuming someone agrees with us when they haven't stated the words that are being assumed. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the burden was more on them than on you, but it was an easy way out, and as a participant in the conflict, you should have asked him yourself to comment on it. A lot of unnecessary heat could have been avoided. Enigma ^message 01:59, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Point taken. Though I'd suggest you make the same point to the other side. -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:05, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I will do so. Both sides could have behaved a little better here, and I'm glad that it is now resolved. Enigma ^message 02:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

So basically, you saw it on Newpages and investigated by looking at my contributions? That's what I'm getting from this, anyway. :P Enigma ^message 02:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Close. I saw it on recent changes as a new page and said "this has to be a CSD" without even looking at its author. Then when I clicked the page itself, I understood what was going on. In retrospect, since we've had little or no direct interaction, you probably could not have had any clue what I was referring to.  Frank  |  talk  02:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

User talk:The Evil Spartan/Can't sleep, clown will eat me

This is not a G8 deletion as it's not an article. As noted in my speedy decline, I'd suggest you talk to The Evil Spartan if you want it deleted. I originally deleted the User page under U1 but if he wants the talk gone that needs a tag too. Pedro :  Chat  10:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Kind of silly to keep just the talk, but I went ahead and asked him. Enigma ^message 15:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I know, but if you look at the G8 template this specifically is not covered. I know it seems a bit like process wonkery, but given it's a long standing editors user space I'd prefer we did it strictly by the book. Pedro :  Chat  20:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

My talk page

Thank you for your speedy reversion on my talk page. Useight (talk) 04:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll do those in a moment, as soon as I finish brushing my teeth. It's hard to type with one hand. Useight (talk) 05:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Both accounts are indef blocked and the article is deleted. I left the redirect for you in case you were bored. Plus I'm going to get some sleep now, I've got an early morning class to attend. Useight (talk) 05:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Whoa

Regarding your comment closing the "Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/75.47.129.129" page, were you saying that the IP I noted is related to the SSP suspect? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 18:51, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Technically it was my comment through Enigmaman. I was referring to the whole thing. IPs are easily more dealt with than accounts. Just RBI the whole lot, to be honest. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 19:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Right on. It is nice to know that when you are dealing with a disruptive IP that you aren;t the only one going through it, though. :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 23:45, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey Arcayne, if you'd like, I could keep an eye on it too. Let me know what to do and I don't mind helping out. Enigma ^message 23:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Re Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JaimeAnnaMoore - I saw a note asking for assistance at WP:SSP and waded in. I have next to no experience of the subject and would appreciate any advice or comment you have to offer. It seemed clear that said user was not operating a sock farm, but I wondered if the next step would be to pursue the matter per "Alternative accounts being used inconsistently with this policy (WP:SOCK) or otherwise used inappropriately may be blocked as "an inappropriate alternative account" and tagged as such." Ben MacDui 21:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

The user was not violating WP:SOCK because she (?) was not using it disruptively. Merely editing from your IP does not constitute abusive sockpuppetry. I don't see anything there that merits a block. I was discussing it with User:Scarian and he agrees. Enigma ^message 21:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

As for helping on SSP, yes, that would be very useful. As I said at WP:AN, there's a limit to what a non-administrator can do, but if you look at the case and evidence and give your opinion, it makes it much easier for the admin who comes along to either block or not block. Enigma ^message 21:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Understood and thanks. Ben MacDui 07:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

little mistake

Thank you for correcting it. :) —αἰτίας •discussion• 21:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
