A new flavor of SALT
Hello, I'm dropping you a note because you are listed on Protected titles/Specific Admin as an admin that is maintaining a personal SALT page. Recent software updates now allow deleted pages to be protected just like other pages. Please consider migrating any pages on your personal list to normal protections, and clearing them off of your list. There still may be situations where a personal list may be the best way to handle a page though. Thank you, — xaosflux  Talk  02:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Truthiness4000
Hi there; you will not remember, but about 9 months ago, when I received the mop & bucket, you offered to advise me if I needed. I would appreciate advice now. This user, on whose talkpage you have recently posted, is asking to be unblocked. He has at least three accounts, and his request seems to me to lack substance. But he is very persistent. In your opinion, am I right to refuse (as I have done) to unblock. (As his page is fully protected, he has spoken to me by e-mail.) --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This is a troll account known to abuse multiple accounts and do nothing but attempt to disrupt the community. I suspect that if the emails persist that this person will find the ability to send further emails will be restricted. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Since my first note to you he has e-mailed me again, using (accidentally, I suspect) a different username. Had he done so earlier, I would not have felt the need for advice! --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 12:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Query on 207.69.137.15
Hello. Just curious as to what happened with today. The block log shows you applied a six month block, however I cannot find a vandalism report and the talk page history only shows two warnings in the past 106 days, and those were just a uw-test1 and uw-vandalism1. What happened to give this IP such a large block, especially since their previous block was for 24 hours, and even that was eight months ago? I am also confused because while you did not post a block notice, all the prior contents on the IP's talk page (including the ISP header that said this address is in one of EarthLink's dynamic ranges) were removed with an edit summary noting "archived old warnings" ... however I cannot seem to find such an archive.

Thanks in advance for your assistance in helping me understand the situation here. I want to make sure that I am blocking anonymous vandals correctly, and cases like this were not covered in New admin school. Thank you, Kralizec! (talk) 02:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * A standard anon block was issued due to the extensive history of abuse and previous blocks. It also helps prevent the honest contributors from being caught by autoblocks.  Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Requesting Advice
Hi, I have just found a few suspicious accounts. I was getting back into editing after a long wikibreak so I checked up on a few pages I used to edit on. I noticed an edit war and threw my two cents in, usual stuff. However I noticed that the user who added the section causing the war was the head of a middle school book club (according to the user page) of 8 users. It turns out that the other 7 users had exactly the same user and user talk page. I thought they were sockpuppets so I checked their contributions. Only 3 of the 7 had contributions. Then I checked the logs. 6 of the 7 were created within minutes of each other (the last one was created a few hours later the same day). Should I take action or should I wait a few days and see what happens? Typer525 Talk 06:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: A few accounts have been added to this club. However it appears that this is not a sockpuppet situation; the group appears genuine. However, the existence of accounts without contributions is troubling. Suggestions on further action? Typer525 Talk 00:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

School IPs
Is there any way to deal with schools that have multiple IPs. For example, I've come across 5 IPs belonging to the Indiana Department of Education (165.139.160.4, 165.138.173.212, 170.185.191.28, 165.138.211.1, and 165.138.54.182). Is it ok to somehow find all the IPs used by the school and block them or do they have to be done case by case? Spellcast (talk) 19:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * That's a good question. WikiScanner might be able to provide some insight as to what IP addresses are being used by that and other organizations.  Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you don't mind, I've got a few others. I realised I kept seeing the same schools but with different IPs.


 * Kentucky Department of Education (170.185.139.19, 170.185.52.19, and 170.185.202.19).


 * eTech Ohio (208.108.138.221 and 208.108.157.167).


 * MOREnet (204.185.70.250, 204.185.204.206, and 150.199.176.157).


 * Wyoming Higher Education Computer Network (137.89.247.222 and 137.89.247.223).


 * Utah Educational Network (205.125.169.98 and 205.125.169.87)

Block time?
I've just blocked 129.71.148.254 for a year for vandalism. You were the last admin to block the IP, and therefore I'm asking you: is a full year too long of a block time for an IP?

sprot for Ron Paul
Hi - we need at least semi-protection reinstated on Ron Paul - Veinor had changed the semi-protection to full protection for a week as per the block notice: (Ron Paul forums have called for registering and mass reversion at http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=82096 . The full protection expired, and IP addresses have descended to remove sourced and necessary material from the newsletter section in question, as predicted.  And the page has been a target for other vandalism - so we need at least semi-protection reinstated.  Can you do that tonight?  Hopefully we won't need full protection again.  Thank you.

David Wall
I understand that there have been some editing concerns about the article David Wall. However, I don't understand why it re-directs to the by-election page (except that there was a losing candidate named David Wall!). There are at least two other "David Wall"s in Wikipedia: David S. Wall and David Wall (actor) (the latter I've just created in order to provide a blue link from his film's article). Therefore I suggest that the David Wall page should become a disambiguation page for all these "David Wall"s at a convenient point. Regards. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 22:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity) unblock, convert to semi?
Hi, saw that i was suppose to ask the block admin after I had posted a semi-protect/unprotect so also posting here. This article is a magnet for vandalism which semi usually handles so that the regular editors can weed out the rest. The protection was due to edit warring and it always involved one editor who has been blocked for three months for tenditious (sp?) editing. I'd like to catch up on some of the recent items posted for consideration on the talk page and see no reason why other registered editors shouldn't be also allowed to constructively add to the article.

I'm confused as to why you reverted Ataturk Quotes in the Ataturk page. It was cited and referenced. I'm not sure what you meant in your edit summary.

Hey CSCWEM, you deleted the last non-copyvio version of this page, I'd appreciate it if you could move that version of it to my userspace. I was somewhat laughing around at a sock-infested AfD for someone, I believe the author, and looking at the google cache to see why the guy was attracting so many conspiracy buffs when i saw the link to this book on the page. I dont know why, but it immediately brought up high school memories. I remember it being covered on NPR on the way to school one day, which caused my dad to buy it. I know this sounds rambly, but im tracking down some ref's, and im fairly certain I could write a fairly good article out of this, from its reception to its conspiracy nature, all with good sources and keeping the fringe guys away (for now).

Too $hort protection
I had planned to move Too $hort to Too Short (per WP:NC) and I got Too Short deleted but now I find that Too $hort is protected and I can't move it! I was hoping that you could either unprotect it so I can move it or move it yourself. Thanks in advance— Hello, Control <sup style="color:#FF0000;">Hello, Tony  21:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

You are special
Clown, it is an honour to get in touch with you. Im just a beginner wikipedian with a handful of edits and im going through the stage of finding about all the amazing facts of wikipedia and you seem to pop up all the time and i can obviously see why. I could not go past your incredible, crazy what more can i say user page without saying hello and good luck with it.

You are definitely one of a kind, the number of edits you have made, the number of friends and enemies you have made, and i think that your page is the most unique on wikipedia. You are the standout, like the most popular celebrity in the whole wide wiki world. I dont know how you did it, i dont know how you started but you have one hell of an imagination and its crazy what you are. I dont know what else to say, it would take a lifetime to learn all the stuff there is to learn about wiki that i can not fathom doing it. I dont know how you keep your eyes healthy, you are human right? I have to change my glasses all the time because i spend 2 much time here. I dont know how you do it. Maybe your gifted, you must be.

AfD nomination of Dude
An editor has nominated Dude, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 01:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello! (Not another welcome thing)
Hi, CSCWEM! I saw your name when I first joined here, and I saw it again, apparently with no stop in your tireless vandal-reversion. I was wondering - how many edits do you have? 50, 60, 70k? Even more? It is something that I have finally summoned the nerve to ask. (and beware the clown) --Freiberg, Let's talk!, contribs 03:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of A-Wolf
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on A-Wolf, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because A-Wolf is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting A-Wolf, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Sildenafil protection
Since it's been semi-protected for over a year now, do you think it is appropriate to remove the protection on Sildenafil? I'd continue to watch this, but I think it might be better to get the spambots out now and start the blacklisting. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

America's Best Dance Crew Needs Protection
I believe America's Best Dance Crew needs to be semi-protected. It's been constantly vandalized due to the results of tonights show, which many people (myself included) didn't seem to agree with. Regardless, all the edits are completely unrelated to any encyclopedic information about the show and are mostly done by unregistered users. By the same token, it has been unregistered users doing many of the reverts as well, but it's clear that it's more than any of the bots can keep up with and random pieces of vandalism could slip through the cracks over time.

TheNewHubris's sockpuppet
How you catch people on sockpuppet? Do we go at check our ID number, or see the contribution. Because some sockpuppets the names can be different. Like Artisol2345 from june to october 2007; after that he made a new account Yorkabes till november pretending to be his sister;AL2TB during winter pretending to be his cousin. Sometimes people just lie on the backs, thinking they may not get caught. More times; I see people making 5 or 6 account with different names and pretending to be their counsins or siblings; to cheat other peoples. If I want to check if the user suspect sockpuppet; what identity should I check?-- Freewayguy ( Webmail ) 18:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Clarkerst
Hello CSCWEM! This editor asked at WP:RPP for his user talk to be unprotected so he could request an unblock. Since you're the blocking admin I was not about to do that; I just added the padlock and the block template to make his status clear. Though I fully support your original block, I didn't see any recent nonsense in his Talk page history (except for blanking), so I wonder if you might consider unprotecting his Talk? I did refer him to unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org. If you prefer not to, that's fine as well. EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops! I misread the dates; this guy was blocked and the page was protected one year ago. I undid the protection to allow an appeal but will keep an eye on the Talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 03:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

DoctorGs
Hey Mr Clown. In July last year you blocked User:DoctorGs as a spam account. I'm not sure if there was more to it or if it is as it appears because he seems to have been blocked indefinitely with email disabled after making only three edits and without any warning at all. The three edits were all spamish but I think it was a matter of being new to Wikipedia and not being aware of our policies and guidelines rather than any deliberate attempt to spam. He faxed the foundation's office to request a block review because he had tried to email you four or five times without response. He also tried to request a block review on his talk page but made a mistake with the template and so no one ever knew that he was asking for a block review. So after more than six months waiting for responses he faxed the Foundation. I've exchanged emails with him (you can read them if you have OTRS access) and he seems to be very genuine and has promised to follow the external links and COI guidelines with regard to his own website, so I've unblocked him. I just wanted to let you know in case there is a problem with your email spam filters or something. Cheers, Sarah 00:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Misha_Sedgwick.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Misha_Sedgwick.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Recent blocks
CSCWEM, your recent blocks have been off the charts inappropriate. Most received no final warnings, some no warnings at all, many had stopped editing hours before you blocked them, and the durations are astounding. I realize you aren't editing anymore, but if you aren't going to follow the blocking policy, you need to stop placing blocks as well. This isn't the first or second time I've had to point out this problem to you.
