Recent block

When you blocked 99.49.83.163, you left an "indef blocked" message on their talk page. Might want to clear that up, it could turn scandalous :) A little insignificant ^{talk to me!} _(please!) 14:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, but I left it like that intentionally. I know it's a bit misleading, but the user is to be indefinitely blocked until the legal threat is retracted. The only reason we don't block IP's indefinitely is because they do change, and a new user could end up with that IP. If that occured I would notify the new user. On the other hand, if the block expired and the same person continued editing without retracting the threat, the block would be reapplied. Evil saltine (talk) 02:20, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Color me confused

I'm trying to figure out how to !vote regarding the Orangesodakid user pages. In the course of trying to figure out what is going on, I saw your post here stating that user was not blocked. Your post has a time of 00:50, 19 September 2009 (UTC). Yet the block log has two blocks, both with (apparently) earlier times, e.g. 23:09, 18 September 2009. The block time doesn't list a time zone - I assumed UTC, is that wrong? If a user is blocked, and told they should respond to ANI, what is supposed to happen? Can blocked users post at ANI?--SPhilbrickT 16:31, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

What you see in the block log is your local time, not UTC. The local time is set in your preferences. In response to your second question, a blocked user should respond on his or her talk page; it will be watched by one or more administrators. Thanks.

Please salt Eric Zaccar

Hello, Saltine … Less that 24 hours after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Zaccar was closed as Delete, one of the sockpuppets - Robroams (talk · contribs) - has recreated it … I've tagged it with {{uw-repost}}, but would you please WP:SALT it? Thnx!

Happy Editing! — 138.88.125.101 (talk · contribs) _{00:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)}

I considered salting it, but I hope that won't be necessary. If it gets created again I (or someone else) will. Thanks! Evil saltine (talk) 00:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Please tell me what "Salt" means. I re-created the Eric Zaccar article, using more in-depth information and many more checkable references from major newspapers for one reason and one reason alone: I don't want people who google Eric to get a page that says that Eric's article has been deleted, and a link to the long diatribes that bad mouthed him. Again, a lot of money, time and energy has been invested in Eric's new screenplay and upcoming film, it's a very important story that could be a very important movie, and the last thing we need is a potential investor, director or star googling him and seeing the negative press that you've recently given him. Better to see nothing at all.

From the impression we "sock puppets" got, you didn't really want to delete Eric's article, you wanted to bring it up to your "standard." That's what I tried to do. It was flagged before anyone could have possibly had a chance to read it. Thank you.

Unless, of course, everything the editors were saying was crap, and you'd planned to delete Eric's article, all along, no matter how much contrary information we offered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robroams (talk • contribs) 05:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

PS: I tried to ask permission before I posted a new, more in depth article about Eric Zaccar, but even though you seem to indicate that messages can be sent to your editors through this site, trying to figure out how to do it is impossible. Everything said seemed to indicate to me that I could add a new article if I improved it.

Can I, Rob Stedelin, have my own article, if I'm the person who contacts my friends at several major New York news stations and has them do in-depth investigations on the self proclaimed editors of wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robroams (talk • contribs) 05:34, 27 October 2009

For the n^th time, Robroams, CLICK THE LINK!!! … in this case, that would be WP:SALT … as for sending emails, those editors who have opted to have one available all have a E-mail this user link in the Toolbox section on the left-hand side of the screen … and once again, create a sandbox article in user space (click User:Robroams/Eric Zaccar to create it) then have some more experienced editors check it out before you post it in article space … and no, you can't have your own article on those grounds because anyone can edit Wikipedia, so there are no "self proclaimed editors" to investigate, but go ahead and contact your friends so that they can have a Good Laugh … as for Google pointing to a deleted page, that link will evaporate in a few days, so no one will see it (it may take longer now, because you recreated it) … in conclusion, if you're not smart enough to figure out how to sign your posts (or how to click the blue text to see what things mean), then maybe those people should not be investing in any enterprise with which you are connected. <Sigh!> — 138.88.125.101 (talk) 07:53, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Eric Zaccar & his Sock & Meat Puppets

This is in direct response to your editors who have called us "sock" or "meat" puppets, because we never edited anything, or gave our input on anything except one single article about Eric Zaccar.

Sophia Z's involved in a major project with Eric Zaccar. So am I. We're working with Eric Zaccar. Some of the other "sock puppets" are probably also people who are familiar with the work of Eric Zaccar and know that he's a rather talented and diverse writer who has thousands of fans and supporters in the New York area. So we all signed on to defend someone that we know, who we care about and whose work we are familiar with. That's the way it's supposed to be. I can't imagine why any of us, or anyone else, would want to do edits on people and articles that we didn't know anything about and that weren't involved in our personal affairs. We didn't sign on to promote Eric or to use your site (is it in fact YOUR site?) for publicity or public relations. We signed on to stop your site from bad mouthing him.

Again, in Brooklyn and Manhattan, where a lot of us come from, we grew up learning to mind our own business and not to bother anyone that doesn't bother us. Because ten people made comments on one subject and one subject alone means that this is the one subject that we have personal information about, that effects our lives and that we care about.

Our production company put together the financing for Eric to be able to spend months interviewing people, visiting prisons, reading court papers and records and traveling thousands of miles to research his screenplay, even though, as the many newspaper articles about his jury service will confirm, he probably already knew more about the subject than almost anyone. You know why? Because some people write what they actually know about. Some of your "editors" might want to consider taking a page from Eric (oh yeah, I forgot, you deleted that page because you were experts on Eric Zaccar and his work).

And of course I was kidding when I said I wanted my own article. I haven't done much yet to merit one. After this film, hopefully you'll come and solicit us. And yes, that's (kind of) a joke too. robroams

I understand that you have a vested interest in this person's career. Unfortunately, we had to debate whether he met the notability criteria. This often brings up judgments such as "minor" or "not significant." Our deletion discussion pages are tagged "noindex" to keep them from being indexed by search engines. I wish you luck with your project. Hopefully someday he will be notable enough to have an article. Evil saltine (talk) 05:50, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Robroams

Hello again, Saltine … I've given up repeating myself, so would you please explain to Robroams (talk · contribs) why just typing their name is not in the spirit of WP:SIG? I really believe that they cannot find the "~" key on their keyboard, as demonstrated by this post … Happy Editing! — 138.88.125.101 (talk · contribs) _{23:58, 30 October 2009 (UTC)}

I would, but I don't know if it's really worth arguing over. Evil saltine (talk) 00:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done … looks like he finally figured it out! :-) — 138.88.125.101 (talk) 04:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

If I understood these things, I would do them. NOBODY in my camp is deliberately trying to break your rules. We're trying our best to conform, and have been all along, but everything we do seems to agitate you more. My username is associated with my writings. What difference does it make how I phrase it?

(Robroams)

I'm sorry for being insensitive. The main reason is that the "~~~~" signature includes a link to both your user and talk pages, and a timestamp of when the comment was made. This makes it easier to keep track of discussions. Thanks. Evil saltine (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

For the record, nobody ever tried to deny that any of the user names that you called sock or meat puppets, were in fact asked by people on our team to come here and defend Eric. However, they're all legitimate people who know his work and were happy to do it.

If we really wanted to put the word out, we could have had a hundred defenders, but then, they all would have been people that just signed up for this purpose, and they all would have been accused of being puppets.

If you check at least one of Eric's Youtube videos, it's gotten over twenty six thousand UNSOLICITED hits. He does have a support base, however small and insignificant you might think it is. And he does have the distinction of being a writer who really gets involved in what he's doing, whether it's taking a job at the housing department to research his play or spending a year interviewing everyone around his jury case, visiting prisons and reading every court record and every article. If he could have interned for Bill Clinton when he was writing his play about Starr and Monica, I have no doubt that he would have (though he might not have provided the expected services). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robroams (talk • contribs) 03:30, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Melbourne Library Service

Hi There,

I started an entry for Melbourne Library Service and I didn't realise I had to have an individual name etc. My entry was deleted by you as it was perceived to be unambiguous advertising and promotion but there are other libraries on WP such as Casey Carinia Libraries and Yarra Plenty Regional Library etc. I think people would like to have us on WP if they are looking for us to find information about our library and to get to our catalogue etc. I have applied for a name change which indicates that I as an individual will be editing and I want to re do our entry. I hope that will be ok? I am new to this and learning :o)

Cheers, Tony - Training and Website Librarian Melbourne Library Service

Orphaned non-free image File:KGTV logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:KGTV logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 08:33, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

User talk:71.80.121.0

I agree that the user has the right to remove warnings from their own talk page. But the welcome message and the warnings which you removed had been left on the page by the IP in the last edit he/she had made to their own talk page. The only items which had been added to the IP's last edit was the {{ISP}} tag, and a {{talkback}} message. Should your edit be reverted to restore the version made by the IP, or just leave it for the IP to deal with at this point? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

That's a good point. I changed it to the IP's version with the ISP and talkback templates added. Thanks. Evil saltine (talk) 00:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Tfoxworth's reincarnations

Thank you for recently intervening in the near-daily ritual of reverting the vandalisms of the ever-changing sockpuppets of permanently banned User:Tfoxworth. His persistence over several years is flagrant and worse -- an invitation to others to mimic his evasions. But I believe he can be stopped with your continued help, as suggested here.

Heh, no problem. He's pretty easy to detect now. Evil saltine (talk) 09:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm posting the following plea on the talk pages of some admins & editors, so please help: Please see diff. The only fix I can see is to block (even briefly, but swiftly) IPs as soon as he begins to use them, and the only way that can happen is if admins put the articles he edits (among others, Line of succession to the Russian throne, Maria Vladimirovna, Grand Duchess of Russia, Maximilian von Götzen-Itúrbide and Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky) on their watchlists. I realize this isn't how admins prefer to manage these vandals, but is there any other way? Waiting until each new act of vandalism is reported by other editors gives him what he wants: 1. evidence that he is succeeding at diverting Wiki editors from doing the productive article work they come here to do 2. time during which his vandalisms appear to the public as Wikipedia's legitimate voice 3. proof that he is sufficiently persistent to compel Wikipedia to allow his vandalism to stand, while that of others is reverted. FactStraight (talk) 05:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, if there's going to be too much collateral damage, we'll just have to watch out for him. I'll watch the pages he hits. Thanks. Evil saltine (talk) 06:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

John Albert Gardner and the section on Chelea King

Just to give you a heads up, that I took out the word "alleged" from the section heading. Nothing against your argument on BLP. I agrre with you on that. Its just that its not alleged that she was murdered, only that he did it. Saying "Alleged Murder" seems to imply that she may still be alive, which is not the case. If you have another way to name the heading, lets do it. Thanks.--Jojhutton (talk) 04:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

It's known that she was murdered, but it is alleged that he murdered her. Having a section titled "Murder of ..." on a person's page implies that that person was involved in the murder. Evil saltine (talk) 04:44, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you on every point. Yet could there be another way to phrase the section? Just a thought.--Jojhutton (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I think that removing the section header and moving that section up would be okay, since the article is not long. Evil saltine (talk) 21:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Thats a possible solution. Yet the article is still a starter class, so its most likely to grow as more information is released. Unfortunatly, the DA is keeping everything under wraps for now, but the trial should reveal quite a bit about what happened.--Jojhutton (talk) 03:24, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of the icarus williams page

please see below the conversation between me and the previous deleter of the page:

This page has been deleted several times now because it supposedly doesn't make its purpose clear but one read of the page makes it very clear. Why is this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricerichard (talk • contribs) 04:57, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

   The article was deleted because its subject is not notable (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)). Evil saltine (talk) 04:59, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have read the notability section and i honestly feel that this article fits the critera. How do i go about contesting this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricerichard (talk • contribs) 07:17, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

   You could take it to deletion review. Evil saltine (talk) 09:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I attempted a deletion review and was ignored.

I am reposting the article with appropriate referencing and assure you that it does meet with notoriety guidelines.

Read the article, i have even e-mailed the artist in question to get his approval. There is no reason to re-delete this piece. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricerichard (talk • contribs) 06:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricerichard (talk • contribs)

I need a bit of help, please

Hello there! I really need some help/advice (whichever you see most fitting to this situation); there is an individual continually updating a certain page with dubious information (and he happens to be the person who the page is about) as well as that of the page describing a sibling, and he recently has also started editing comments that I've left on discussion pages about the articles...editing my own discussion words rather than posting his own rebuttals, and then NOT signing! Could you please advise regarding what I should do? Feel free to email me if you prefer. Ileana37 (talk) 08:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Rationale for Deletion

Hi Saltine, I posted an article about a company that I work for. And we were promptly deleted within minutes of the posting. I would like to get some advice on this, because I feel that your delete action is knee-jerk and unfair. Here's why.

There are plenty of wikipedia articles that give overviews of different businesses. Sure, they tend to be established businesses and we're a young start up. It's hard for me to avoid getting the feeling that the implication here is that these companies deserve to be written about, and ours doesn't because we're too small. That doesn't seem like a solid rationale to me and not in keeping with Wikipedia.

I completely understand why you have to exert quality control for wikipedia entries, but I don't believe that a company writing about itself necessarily amounts to obtrusive advertising.

What if someone hears about us and wants to know more about us? Isn't that the point of Wikipedia ?

I understand the need to have a variety of sources, but don't you think I should be a valid informational source as I know alot about the company that I work for ? I used no "peacock language" in the article, and there was no sales-pitch terminology.

According to Wikipedia, the articles should be allowed to evolve and become more substantiated by different sources. Ours basically got ripped away from us before we had a chance to do any of that. I'd like to reinstate the article under whatever guidance you can give.

Thank You,

Some Velvet Morning (Band)

Hi,

Please can you clarify what constitutes a signficance to a band. I am a reviewer and my article on Some Velvet Morning has been rejected. In my view, a band produced by Coldplay's producer and featured in the movie, 'Kickass' should be relevant. I am happy send examples of other wikipedia pages with less commendable content. If the sources need improving I am happy to do so.

Block unblock...? I have to say this is so mysterious... Has a checkuser been done on that wikieditor account? Off2riorob (talk) 12:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I was blocking because I thought the user was a sock of User:Timpanycecelia, but then I read this edit [4] that claimed that that user was someone else. I really don't know what's going on now, and I'd rather unblock someone who shouldn't be here than block someone who doesn't deserve it. I e-mailed OTRS about it (since they handed out the block on User:Timpanycecelia they probably have more information). Hopefully it will all be fixed soon. Evil saltine (talk) 12:18, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

The person that added the death claims is imo a sock of a blocked user but I have no idea which one, anyway there is no hurry. I have serious doubts as to the factuality of the death claims and am looking to clear that up, anyways thanks for commenting. Off2riorob (talk) 14:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Four boxes of democracy

See the latest version, much better I think. I am vaguely considering moving the page again, this time to Four boxes of liberty, which seems a more appropriate title, before adding more inbound links and nominating for DYK. A tagline that links Frederick Douglass and the right-wing gun lobby appeals to my primitive sense of humor. Not important though, and I don't want to cause total confusion. What do you advise? Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 19:28, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Nice work. It definitely looks a lot better now. There's still no reliable sources that say that Ed Howdershelt said or coined the phrase, though. Evil saltine (talk) 04:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I found a lot of blog sites that quote Howdershelt as the source - but agreed, no reliable ones. He probably heard the phrase somewhere and did indeed say it, as did quite a few other people. You were absolutely right to trim the article and nominate for AfD. It looked hopeless. I started the rescue for fun, as a challenge, and after a while began to wonder if it was possible at all. Somehow it intrigued me, VernoWhitney (talk · contribs) showed a new way to search, sources started to show up, and I am sort of pleased with the end result. It generated an amusing debate here, closed now I think but maybe useful in a small way. Four boxes was a fun one. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 00:31, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 20:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
