it looks like the sock puppet who posted my personal info wasn't done when he was blocked, as he has reposted it at Sockpuppet investigations/Shir-e-Iran..your help is appreciated. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 23:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Myownusername
I am concerned about the block of the above user. He was blocked indefinitely as troll. There was a claim that he was a sock, but there was no investigation that revealed the sock. If the user was blocked as a troll, then it is improper to simply indef block them, especially when they asked for a second chance. If he was blocked as an abusive sock, we need to know who the sock master was as the master account would receive a block (but not an indef block like the sock account). If this was simply an old user using a new name, there is a precedence set forth that they could use a new name in certain situations. Can we please have this resolved in some other manner besides just letting an indef block for "trolling" stand while there are claims about sockpuppetry and other things left, and the only action he did was an action performed by a user who isn't deemed as warranting a block for trolling? Sigh. Ottava Rima (talk) 00:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I did perform a checkuser on the account and found nothing. However, checkuser is not capable of proving innocence in that manner. Most internet users could easily evade the kind of check that has to be performed on an account like that. Unfortunately I can't elabourate more on that. That said, the account was clearly being used for trolling, so I have no problem with the block. --Deskana, Champion of the Frozen Wastes 20:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Regarding User:Corneadoc
Hi. came into #wikipedia-en-help today asking that an SPI case he was involved in be reviewed again, and that he was not given time to defend himself. I don't know much about SPI but I realize that a confirmed CU leaves little hope for him. He claims he has only used one account. He just requested that I leave you a message imploring you to look into it again. I'm not vouching or advocating for him in any way, as a disclaimer. I'm just being kind and posting you a message like he requested. Thanks, Killiondude (talk) 03:55, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Question
Since my opposes are discounted anyway as stated, am I allowed to still post them or will that just open me up for the same kind of ban talks like DougsTech? If I move them to neutral and state that I would strongly oppose but keep them in that area, would that protect my ability to have a say? I would like to know how to proceed so I can avoid the unseemly discussions that have plagued the WT:RFA page in the past. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've extended this query, but it should be obvious that I value your opinion over many, many others, so I would like to hear from you in the matter. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:50, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You can always have your say. Your !vote is judged on the merits of the argument you make. <span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — <b style="color:#060;">Rlevse</b> • Talk  • 20:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * And I have been informed that quite a few Bureaucrats feel that my argument lacks all merit. Therefore, I would like an answer on how to proceed from one of the most respected individuals in the area. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * If you want, you can also email me a response. Feel free to take your time. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, the main reason that people had a problem with DougsTech's votes were because they were blanket opposes, and not specific to the candidate in question. That's certainly the biggest problem that I had. "Too many administrators" is easily interpreted as meaning "Even if you'd be the best admin in the world, I do not want you to be an administrastor". From a quick review of some of your recent votes, there is no such blanket opposition in your votes. They are specific, and irrespective of whether I agree with them or not, I see no problem with you casting them. --Deskana, Champion of the Frozen Wastes 21:18, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Your opinion
Deskana: since you are the only other administrator on Navajo wiki, I am contacting you with a grave concern. I am currently working to translate most of the system messages into Navajo on transwiki.net (and have requested adminship for this purpose on Navajo wiki). While working through the list of internal system-messages and building a table of proposed changes that I intend to publicly present before implementing them, it has come to my attention that the other admin, User:Node ue, included a rather misleading link into the localization of the site.

Under every edit-window, a link pops up that says "contact us", yet I now see that it leads directly to node.ue@gmail.com

I do not think that a single administrator should be allowed to receive all messages on his/her private email-account, esp. when it purports to be "contact us," e.g. wikipedia.org. The way I understand it, wikipedia and Node_ue are two different entities and one should not represent the other. Moreover, wikipedia isn't owned by a single person.

Do with this information as you like, and feel free to contact me or reply. Your talkpage is on my watchlist. Thank you so much. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 13:50, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Ooh, I forgot about that wiki. Yes, I do think that's a problem. It definitely shouldn't be that way. Can you speak to the person and ask them to change it? --Deskana, (talk) 23:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I have become an admin/sysop for a month and changed it myself. I have already translated a quarter of the interface and will try to use that given time-frame efficiently. (Also cleaned up quite a backlog of deletion-requests).

If you won't see any abuse of those powers over that time-period, would you support my becoming a permanent sysop? (The reason why I was only given a month is because no-one responded to my post at the Community Portal :(...) Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 02:47, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure I would. :) --Deskana, (talk) 02:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * So do I have to make that request over at the meta-wiki people again, or can another admin (like -- you) change that? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 02:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I left a quick note on meta. Incidentally, I've worked on this wiki with the steward that carried out your request, so I don't expect there will be any problems with you getting permanent admin status! --Deskana, (talk) 02:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Foswiki deletion
Hi Deskana, I'm just wondering about the [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Foswiki|Foswiki deletion]. Regardless of whether or not there was a claim of notability at the time, and regardless of whether there was a flood of newbies, I think there is (now) notability - Google websearch currently returns 132,000 hits. Google news also returns hits, eg http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/319313/five_enterprise_open_source_wiki_apps_watch Regards, Ben Aveling 12:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC) example struck - was not mentioned in body of article, only in comments


 * If you feel like you can create a worthwhile article out of it, go right ahead. :-) --Deskana (talk) 12:05, 28 September 2009 (UTC)


 * For recreation of Foswiki article Some links to support the notability of Foswiki:
 * TechCrunch, the leading and most widely read (4 million rss feed subscribers) tech weblog included Foswiki in a list of Wikis: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/26/why-google-wave-sucks/ & http://screencast.com/t/ZDkxNzc3Zj
 * Atlassian, the world's leading commercial wiki creator on their confluence page called Foswiki the leading open source alternative: http://screencast.com/t/OTE1M2E5YTQ
 * Highly anticipated open-source releases coming in '09 (Computerworld): http://www.computerworld.co.ke/articles/2009/03/31/highly-anticipated-open-source-releases-coming-09
 * TWiki's hunt for cash fractures its community (CNET): http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10078682-16.html

Does that suffice? --Kalyxo (talk) 07:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I get the feeling you're involved with Foswiki? You should take a look at WP:COI. Secondly, it's not for me to decide whether or not it gets recreated or not simply because I deleted the original article. I see you posted the same message on the DRV, so I'll them all decide. --Deskana (talk) 11:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Rollbacker permission request
Hi, I would like to request rollback permission. I regularly undo any vandalism I come upon but have not, in the past, regularly done any vandal patrolling. I think rollback is a good option, especially for some vandalism where the vandal should not become memoralized in the history of an article even if their vandalism was removed from the article itself. Cheers. N2e (talk) 17:57, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Kww 3 - Bureaucrat discussion

 * Requests for adminship/Kww 3/Bureaucrat discussion

I've opened a bureaucrat chat in relation to this RfA as I don't think the outcome is particularly clear cut. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate your input. <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">WJBscribe (talk) 20:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
