User talk:Carol Kalish Fanclub

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you.


 * This username seems to be promotional. I recommend change your username. Thank you. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Carol Kalish
Just letting you know, going through and putting brackets around Carol Kalish's name in other articles only makes a dead redlink, since she currently doesn't have a page on wikipedia. If you'd like to create one, I'd suggest going to WP:FIRST to see how to make (and properly source) a wikipedia page. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 06:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I would also like to point out to you that per the conflict of interests guideline, you probably shouldn't be working on any article about your own friend. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's cool, I can be neutral. Plus I have clippings which would help me improve the article. Carol Kalish Fanclub (talk) 11:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll go and poke Tiptoey, and we'll try to get this sorted one way or the other. Please be patient - your block is under review. Fritzpoll (talk) 12:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There is something odd here; this user's editing pattern doesn't seem consistent with that of the user she's been blocked for sockpuppeting. However, this user also appears to want to edit only to write about a friend of hers, despite having been warned several times about the conflict of interest guideline, which is a separate issue. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think we need to sort out the block for sockpuppetry first, then we can deal with any potential COI problems. User has indicated their aware of the need to be neutral, so probably no need to take action at this stage. Fritzpoll (talk) 13:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm, I made this block a while ago and to be honest I am a bit foggy about the whole thing. If I recall correctly, this block was made after a CheckUser (off-wiki) confirmed this was a sock of WrathofGod. Tiptoety  talk 14:12, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there nothing on-wiki that confirms this? Fritzpoll (talk) 14:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not that I can recall. Someone might consider dropping a note for a CheckUser. Tiptoety  talk 14:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The block that is catching this account relates to the Alan Light/Wroth of Groth sock-farm case. I have not checked whether or not this is a sock of that user, or a different user in the same /16 range. FT2 (Talk 15:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I notice that this user does have the same comic-book focus that was the hallmark of that user.  This account created the article about her which was subsequently vandalized by User:Wroth of Kalish, a clear part of the sock farm.  She has also posted opinions at two AfD discussions of interest to that sockfarmer, Articles for deletion/Michael Catron and Articles for deletion/Chair throwing.  It seems improbable that this is pure coincidence. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I was asked to vote in those Deletion debates, so I did. But I'm mainly interested in fixing up the Carol Kalish and related articles.  She was a friend of the family and I knew a few people from those days.  Michael, Gary, and of course my ex boyfriend, Alan Carol Kalish Fanclub (talk) 11:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * (undent) In any event, the username would imply a role account, which we don't permit anyway. As for the sockfarming, though, is this a good hand/bad hand sort of situation here? Hers fold  (t/a/c) 16:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
