Per this, why did you remove my db tag? I am literally the only editor, it's a stub, poor references and the chance of the article expanding is very unlikely.  ς ح  д r   خ є  14:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you block the IP 71.239.23.70?
On the article, Piccolo (Dragon Ball), this user, 71.239.23.70, has been trying to add false information into the article. It all started on November 17th when he edited the article here. It was reverted by Lord Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru told him to go to discuss it in the talk page. This occured two days later. The argument only lasted for two days, though it felt longer than that. Along with me was User:Tintor2, Farix, and of course Sesshomaru. During the discussion, he breaks Civility (though I admit I broke also due to my annoyance at his obliviousness), saying that "He's being called Piccolo Jr. forever and you'll like it." After that, Farix posted something on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents and he continued his argument. As you may notice most of his argument is copied and pasted, which minor differences. It mostly goes like this "He's not King Piccolo reincarnated. First, he can't have his own child be his reincarnation. That's fucking stupid. Cymbal, Drum, Piano, and Tambourine would then call him dad and father, which he's not. Second, reincarnations always have their past self's same facial structure, stature, and voice. Piccolo Jr. doesn't. And third, reincarnations are always portrayed by the same actor and actress who portrayed their past selves. Reincarnations are always described to be like that and are always like that forever. Kami and his evil twin brother King Piccolo were voiced by Takeshi Aono in the Japanese Dub, while Toshio Furukawa voices Piccolo Jr. in the Japanese Dub. King Piccolo even says this line before he dies. "Good luck my son. Get revenge on my demise. Destroy all of my enemies." Stop calling him that fucking fake and stop saying weighted shoes. They're called weighted Namekian shoes. His weighted Namekian shoes are weighted. He just never wants to take them off forever. He’s keeping it a secret that they’re not weighted and never wants to take them off during a fight and have his bare feet shown, because it would embarrass him if he took them off. His name's FUCKING PICCOLO JR.!" This is what we've had to deal with the past week. Do you think you can block him or something? Well... Whatever you do, I guess the best way to start is to read both discussions starting with the one on Piccolo (Dragon Ball) talk page. --Ryu (Talk | Contributions) 17:37, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

re CLA68 ACE09 talkpage
As per my comments at my talkpage, I have removed the content I originally posted at the above - pending my finding diffs that support my interpretation of events. I have also removed your comments there, since they were redundant upon my removal of mine. I trust that you are agreeable to this further action, but if not then why not just block me for a bit (I feel I still really haven't arrived, having such a unviolated block log) rather than some chit chat. Cheers, anyhoo, for the input. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:56, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that's one good example of the exception to the rule that you shouldn't modify/remove comments made by other people, so I do not object, of course. I do, however, regret to inform you that I am outraged by your implication that I block for frivolous reasons or with an excessive duration, and will accordingly be blocking you indefinitely for daring to speak to me in such a manner. Not. --Deskana (talk) 21:59, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

SPI
Hi Deskana,

First of all thank you very much for dealing with this SPI. Is that the end of it then (ie: should it be closed and archived)?

I also have a question regarding WP:OUTING. Is stating "IP XXX is user YYY" a violation of this policy? Especially if it is followed up by identifying the location (city and country) of the IP address? If so, I feel that the policy has been violated at that SPI and I would very much like if the violating comments were stricken from the record (whether or not they are accurate).

Thanks, Breein1007 (talk) 03:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It is only a violation of the privacy policy if a checkuser says that, based on technical data obtained through use of the checkuser tool. As you can see in that SPI, I have made no comment based on any of the technical data, so I have not violated the policy. If you are referring to the comments made by User:George based on behavioural evidence, then that is also not a violation of the privacy policy as it is all conjecture based on evidence that is publically available. Hopefully this answers your question. If it does not, feel free to contact me again. --Deskana (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the comments by George. I'm a little unsure about your explanation though. Is it really publicly available evidence that "The IP address 99.236.137.50 is almost definitely Breein1007"? I have certainly never claimed that I was associated with that IP, so I'm not sure how that is publicly available, whether or not it is an accurate statement. Breein1007 (talk) 03:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * To put it bluntly: the privacy policy is concerned only with information derived from the checkuser tool, and since he does not have access to the checkuser tool, he cannot possibly have violated the privacy policy. To try to explain it a bit more: He has come to the conclusion that you're the same person as the IP based on your edits compared to the IP's edits. Both your edits and the IPs edits are publically available, so he is definitely well within his rights to say that. --Deskana (talk) 03:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * To clarify, you're saying that WP:OUTING only applies to checkusers? Am I understanding that correctly? Breein1007 (talk) 03:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

(unindent) I apologise, I was talking only about the privacy policy. With regards to WP:OUTING, given that in the course of my checkuser investigation I learned what your IP was (but will not disclose it, in line with the privacy policy), I don't think I am the person who should be answering your question. I would suggest you post to WP:ANI. --Deskana (talk) 04:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will ask another admin. Although to be honest, I don't think that knowledge of my IP address should affect the answer. Because either it's a violation of the policy or not... regardless of accuracy of the claim. Anyway, thanks again, Breein1007 (talk) 04:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Breein1007
Hi Deskana, would it be possible for you to further clarify what you meant by the "inconclusive" result at this SPI case? Was Millmoss completely unrelated to the IP addresses, or just not exactly the same? And did you check only Millmoss' IP address, or those used by other NoCal100 sock puppets? Thanks! ← George <small style="color:#dc143c;">talk 01:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "Inconclusive" basically means "We've got no way of answering the question you asked". You can think of it as, basically, a glorified "I have no idea", except it also means that other checkusers will also have no idea. --Deskana (talk) 08:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. Thanks. :) ← George <small style="color:#dc143c;">talk 16:49, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi - thanks again for your feedback/changes here. I think we've got a pretty good consensus to implement these changes and before I do so in a single edit I wanted to confirm whether or not you would like your changes attributed to you, and if so - would you care to perform a histmerge on the two forks of the article. If the attribution is not important then just let me know and I'll make all the changes in a single edit referencing your name in the comments. 7 23:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC) '' (this message copied to all three admin who helped with the page).

Account usurpation for unified login
Hello!

Accordingly to what is asked to be done, I’m sending to you, bureaucrat of the current wiki, a request for account usurpation by the name of “Ethaniel” for the Wikimedia unified login. My original account is on Wikipedia FR and, during my account unification attempt, it appeared that it already existed here, account on which I can not login. As this account had never contribute here, I hope that this usurpation won’t bother the real creator of this unused account. Thus, could you please usurp this account in order for me to finalise my Wikimedia accounts unification? Many thanks!

Possible Sock puppetry, please help
Dear Deskana, I have strong reasons to believe that User:Assyria 90 and User:Destudent are Sock Puppets of User:Shmayo. Their comment on this page came just minutes apart after more that 18 hours of Shmayo last activity, all to handle a single issue. Those other accounts have been basically idle, and just awoke at the voting stage of some suggestion in the above mentioned page. Please help verifying this issue, and please let me know what you find out. Best Regards,--Tisqupnaia2010 (talk) 19:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You can file a request for checkuser here. There is a good reason for filing it there rather than here; having all the data collected together in a standard format is extremely helpful, and it means that another checkusers can see the request too. Feel free to ask a clerk for help if you can't figure something out, though the process is reasonably straightfoward. --Deskana (talk) 19:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
