User talk:Blurp92

Reference desk/Humanities
FYI... The little lock symbol is not needed. Someone has embedded code to make the full template appear automatically when a ref desk page is protected. Details on ref desk talk page. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 08:03, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I see. Noted. Now that I think about it, adding the lock symbol on a page with the full template is a bit redundant. Thanks for the FYI, mate. Blurp92 (talk) 15:57, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There has been discussion about this on the ref desk talk page from time to time, and someone finally got the idea to automate it. It only took a couple of years before that light bulb came on (and I'm as guilty as anyone for not suggesting it). ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Hsiung Feng III IP
After the IP resorted to name-calling and (incorrectly) pointing out spelling errors it was simpler just to laugh it off than be offended. I've got much better things to do with my Wikipedia time, ya know. And in the first place this article is wayyyy out of my normal realm of editing, as you can see by my userpage. Honestly I can't see anything more coming out of that RfC; it might be best to close it ASAP as it's going nowhere. Regards, Lizard  (talk) 22:16, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's just like dealing with any other troll on the internet. It's a shame that it had to be done on Wikipedia. This is a place which is far more civil than, say, YouTube or Reddit comments, where flame wars are a dime a dozen. Ay, caramba. The RfC's been fun, but seeing as it's going nowhere but downhill and we already reached the consensus we need, it doesn't make any sense to keep it for any longer. L3X1 shares the same view, judging by how the RfC is closing down in a matter of hours. Blurp92 (talk) 02:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * If only we knew that editor's name and face. Then you could put your death note to use. Lizard  (talk) 02:53, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * If only, "Mi Amigo". If only. Since the IP hopper is hiding behind a VPN with 200,000 IPs across 70+ countries, all hopes of tracking are slim to none. Speaking of the IP hopper, things have gotten even uglier on the talk page. Not only does said IP hopper not believe what the word "consensus" is (a majority agreement rather than a unanimous one. A unanimous agreement on Wikipedia is downright impossible, obviously. Also, "mob rule"? That's new, at least to me.), they're now accusing just about every other editor involved in the RfC (including me) of things we haven't done ("pov pushing"? That's new.). Just like you, I found it easier to just laugh at what was being thrown at us, largely because I know it's senseless to argue with someone who is outnumbered by several Wikipedians to one. It's obvious per WP:DUCK that it's the same editor hiding behind a global VPN (hence the Geolocate putting them all over the place), so other editors on the RfC are looking into opening an SPI. As for the page itself, I've spoken with the only admin who participated in the RfC, Vanamonde93, and V has suggested having the page semi'd only when the IP hopper continues ignoring consensus and proceeding anyway once the full protection expires. That would constitute disruptive editing, which is grounds for an RfPP. Blurp92 (talk) 16:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * (I have your talk page watched so no need for talkback) The page was put at RFPP not too long ago and the IP followed the requester to RFPP and opposed the request. This resulted in it not being protected, as the admins saw it then as a content dispute and eventually FULLY protected the page. This is why I normally stay away from contentious subjects, and why contentious subjects often end up under discretionary sanctions. We can only hope this is as far as it goes, but I doubt it. The IP is showing all the signs that he won't go down without a fight. Lizard  (talk) 16:54, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * As I've told Vanamonde93, I'll keep a close eye on the page once the full protection expires, which it has, and things have been surprisingly civil since. Though now that I said that, I'm sure I just jinxed it. Nonetheless, per Vanamonde's advice, I'll send out a semi RfPP if disruption resumes. While I hope it doesn't happen, based on what we've witnessed so far, the odds of this happening are, unfortunately, good. Blurp92 (talk) 05:52, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

February 2017
Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. Neil N  talk to me 21:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * : Thanks for letting me know. In my defense, I haven't seen vandalism-only accounts warned as much as IPs or users with at least some legitimate edits (which go up to 4/4im before being taken to AIV), and I do recall seeing VOAs being blocked permanently with the sole warning on their talk page being an automated one from ClueBot NG, and I've even seen VOAs being blocked permanently with no warnings at all (in their case, they have a very small amount of edits (less than 5, I've often seen just 2) and all of the edits in question are vandalism). That said, you might want to take a second look at the user in question's activity on Doral, Florida as of late. Then you could see why I reported said user as a VOA. I do try my best to discern between editors who solely create vandalism and editors who have made misguided good-faith edits, and I do try my best to act appropriately based on what either situation warrants, but based on this user's activity since my AIV report, it looks like a case of the former. What do you think? Blurp92 (talk) 22:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Blurp92. When you reported the user, they had two run-of-the-mill disruptive edits, zero edits stopped by the edit filter, and zero warnings. If admins are blocking other editors in the same situation then their blocks are against the guidance provided by WP:AIV. --Neil N  talk to me 23:47, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Please comment on the article We Bought a Zoo
Hi! I do not know if this is the right place to put my comment as I'm usually just a wikipedia reader not a wikipedia editor (not that I want to be one). I received a message from you (I assume you Blurp 92 are reading this, sorry I'm kind of new on this and this interface is not very friendly) reporting that my modification (the only one I have ever made ever) to the article regarding the movie We Bought a Zoo in the section "Legacy" is as you state: "not constructive".

First I want to thank you for all the work you put in Wikipedia, the most valuable gift the Internet Age has given us (even with his problems and inaccuracies (as in this case) it is wonderful). I just want to mention that the Legacy section points out to the recent Academy Awards Ceremony in which Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of Matt Damon referencing this movie. The quote that it us used in the section by you ("He's a selfish person -- those of you who have worked with him know this") it is not used by Mr. Kimmel in the section of the ceremony referenced (it was said during the initial monologue, not making any reference whatsoever of the movie the article is about). Therefore the information in the article is false (Mr. Kimmel did not mocked Matt Damon's performance of the film by saying "He's a selfish person -- those of you who have worked with him know this." he did not used that phrase at all when he was referring to Mr. Damon performance in said movie).

I saw this and because I found the Oscar bit very funny, I corrected the quote to use one of the several ones that were actually used during the section (feel free to check yourself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkjLMWS3U4Q). I just wanted to clear this because as you indicated in your kind message, I could "leave you a message" if I thought the modification you did is a mistake. I hope you find this useful and make any changes you consider necessary so the article is corrected. Excuse any mistakes in my English, it is not my mother tongue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.49.6.222 (talk) 22:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
