I saw that you blocked Shiveringpurple, but I think you may have made a mistake in the block summary regarding the length; it reads "you have been blocked for a period of U2".

I see it got deleted but there were two different decisions keep and delete. I never got a chance to really clean it up because I only have time on the week ends. I did agree that some of it needed clean up and it really didn't need a lot of the information on it.

User:Cygnis insignis is evidently not going to accept a "banned" label on that userpage unless we go through the full ban discussion. I've put the "indefinitely blocked" label back up, because it is indisputably accurate.

Your block of Special:Contributions/12.227.136.62
I was about to decline the AIV request for this ip, with the rationale below:
 * User is being tendentious, but the speedy tagging is not yet vandalism; will leave the user a message asking him not to speedy and explaining how to use AfD, and if the user continues to speedy tag then he can be re-reported. He did make a couple of vandalism edits (like replacing content with "our software sucks") but hasn't done blatant vandalism edits since earlier warnings.

I see that you blocked the IP, though. I don't have a problem with that, but given that the edits were not necessarily blatant vandalism, could the block be shortened (to maybe 12 hours or 3 hours)? I am about to leavea the IP a message about how to use AfD and cleanup tags properly. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 14:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Deletionism
While I agree that Wikipedia is not, and should not be, a trashcan, we must be careful with our deletions, because, with our imperfect knowledge of the world, it's easy to rashly delete something that is important, meaningful, and possibly helpful information for others.TheRealNightRider (talk) 10:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

HellinaBucket requesting unblock
I see you indef blocked HellinaBucket for NPA and harassment. As far as I can see their edits since the expiry of the prior block (48 hours by FisherQueen, expired 16:40UTC yesterday) has been fault-free; apart from apologising to editors who were previously targets for attacks all edits appear to have been purely productive. My slight interaction with Hellinabucket yesterday (since the block expiry; I had no interaction with them previously) was certainly problem-free. I'm keeping an eye on them for a recurrence of problem behaviour, I'd guess FQ may be too. Might you reconsider the block? Regards, Tonywalton Talk 18:55, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Blueboy, I want to bring it to your attention, that Tonywalton claims you concurred with this unblock, despite the fact that the above message seems to have gone unanswered. (I understand you may have responded through private channels, but I just wanted to make sure you knew, in-case Tony is lying about you).VegKilla (talk) 22:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I also want to point out to you that Tonywalton's talk page shows that he was in contact with HellinaBucket before the block was imposed.VegKilla (talk) 22:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: HellinaBucket, what the hell?
Tonywalton said you supported their unblock of HellinaBucket, assuming that is true:

I wish you had not responded to my post on Admin intervention against vandalism. If you had just left it their a few more seconds, then hopefully someone would have responded to it who have realized how inappropriate it is to do what you have done:

HellinaBucket was indef blocked (by you) for refusing to stop harassment in the form of refusing to stop apologizing. Ironically enough, you chose to support an unblock for no other reason than that HellinaBucket apologized. Don't you remember that you blocked HellinaBucket FOR REFUSING TO STOP APOLOGIZING!!!

Plus, by not even waiting one day before unblocking, you have left me without any time to have a case prepared. In this way, you have insured the success of three of HellinaBuckets unethical strategies: 1. Endless apologies to disguise harassment and confuse who the victim is, 2. Extremely verbose contributions in order to dilute the harassment and 3. Quickly and repeatedly responding to blocks in order to leave the victims whom the block was intended to protect unprepared.

I will contact you again when HellinaBucket acts inappropriately, at which time (or before), I will expect a written apology from you. VegKilla (talk) 22:17, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I have asked Vegkilla to strike from my talkpage their accusation that I am lying ("assuming that is true" above) as an egregious personal attack and I would request that they do so here as well. Tonywalton Talk 22:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If you recall a few months ago I was invovled with a dispute with User:Vegkilla and was blocked for inappropriate behavior. I am in no way even remotely interested in restarting that fued and have made constructive edits since. Can you please look at my talk page and make the appropriate reccomendations to VegKilla regarding my actions since and in question. I feel that I am being unfairly harrassed at this point and personally attacked. Last time I was in the wrong I don not feel I am in any way. Thanks. (Hell in a Bucket) There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 17:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you I will do my best to represent our community in a positive light.HellinaBucket (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Bluboy, I had a quick question for you. Vegkilla is following me around and reverting edits I've made on articles. Specifically The article on Professional Bull Riders. I removed the info because it was trivia and not well wrote, however due to the level of scrutiny I am under I am very hesitant to do ANYTHING about it but would like to get someone elses opinion on the matter. Can you look into it at all? I would appreciate any assisance on this matter.HellinaBucket (talk) 09:57, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I posted the incident on the admin board. To be very clear though I didn't paste the warning template on his page as this could be twisted to further harrassment and I agreed to not post there again when my block was lifted.HellinaBucket (talk) 10:23, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Now he is following me to other talk pages and erasing my comments there. I have added an addendum to my admin notice board case.HellinaBucket (talk) 11:21, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

The reasons why I deleted those sentences in the Toronto section because they were unnecessary information and takes away from the important information on the article.

Eagle Mountain, Utah - problems continue
I've just undone the latest insertion from the IP editor(s) intent upon perpetuating their tl:dr municipal squabble on this page. (Semi) protection ended on the 25 May and the problematic (and par-for-the-course accusatory) block of text I've just removed was made on the 29th. Given that it contains contentious WP:BLP issues, as well as WP:SOAPBOXing, I think protection needs to be ongoing as - despite unequivocal warnings - the editor(s) seem determined to add this material and will continue to do so whenever IP editing permits them to.

Marc Dreier edit war
since you sound rational, i would like your input asto what should be done with the traub bonacquist and fox section on the Marc Dreier page which has been locked by mr. cavalry, a non-american contributor who doesn't like references from court transcripts or dockets posted on the internet.

you are working on the saylor company block, and since she is paid by mr. traub to delete, she began that last week as saylor company. she then was admonished not to delete sourced material, the complete section in one stroke, and also, as a paid rep, needed her own user page. with her new screen name, User talk:W Cwir at Saylor, ‎she then began deleting line by line without reason, other than she was protecting her client from incrimination. no reason except personal opinion. she is being enriched for her time. the way the section stands now, it has no relevance to dreier and should be removed completely. all it is, is merely free promotional advertising for his new digs, which was her last edit.

i have spent many days researching the page and much time on the section. traub is lawless and was a member of a lawless law firm. his ethics and malfeasance have a direct bearing on the dreier page as the issues continued during his sojourn there. the section just above his names other attorneys in the firm who are being investigated and subpoenaed. in addition, he was partners with Tom Petters before arriving on park avenue. both are indicted criminals for money laundering and wire fraud. ergo, water seeks its own level. all facts were sourced and now what remains is filler ---meaningless dicta, to the perfect satisfaction of traub. i requested ms. saylor to correct the record, or have traub correct any errors, but she ignored it completely. she doesn't want the fraud case discussed because it could open up a can of worms, possibly an indictment. there is no statute of limitations on a fraud upon the court in the usa. paul traub is a public figure with public admissions of perjury and false affidavits as an officer of the court, which are sourced in my contributions. n.b. the time frame of her sequential deletions yesterday early am. she was "sleepless in wikipedia", up all night! perhaps, she had a deadline today. and also, go back to my original insertions before all the reversions.

some have recommended a law firm page, but the firm is defunct and unless that section enlarges, and it is linked, there is not enough material and it is irrelevant unto itself - a dead issue, but the lawyers are alive and kicking all dispersed like red ants. lots of them are bad news and should be covered as the facts are revealed. the page builds as you know.

i have no personal interest or bias in any of the players; i simply enjoy exposing greed in the usa wherever the facts exist.

User:Bosonic dressing
Hi!

I'm a wee bit concerned about the circumstances that let to this user being blocked. I acknowledge that they were edit warring, however it seems that they started simply by reverting (per WP:BRD) to the consensus version on a number of articles, and the other party to the dispute then reverted - and in each case has reverted as many times.

I'm not asking for Bosonic dressing's block to be lifted or reduced (and I'll admit that I've been discussing some of these articles with Bosonic dressing recently, prior to this edit war blowing up), just that you consider User:TownDown's behaviour too.

...and, as always, I'm up for a slap if I'm out of line!

Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 22:12, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you tell me please what kind of behaviour are you accusing me?, which consensus?, there's not a general consensus, your multiple messages in many articles is not a general consensus to changes all maps without approval. --TownDown How's it going? 22:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm suggesting that you also were edit warring, and have racked up 3+ reverts on some of the articles (for example: Sudan 1, Sudan 2, Sudan 3). The consensus I referred to was the pre-existing consensus; the maps used on most of these articles had been in place for some time before you changed them. I have no preference regarding either your new map or the old maps (I'm trying to gather a new consensus for uniform SVG maps across continents to replace the hodge-podge of largely PNG maps currently used, but that's not the issue here). Until there's a consensus I have no intention of making any changes; my concern right now is simply about edit warring in the meantime.
 * Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 23:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Please don't bother this admin, please go to your own Talk_Page.


 * Well, maybe you and think that can change all maps without approval, don't forget that there's not a general consensus or general pre-existing consensus ....where it is?, did you read all talk pages?, because your multiple messages in many articles are not a general consensus or general pre-existing consensus to changes all maps in all continents in all countries and almost all English Wikipedia just because your messages without approval by multiples users registered in their WikiProjects.--TownDown How's it going? 23:12, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I am as entitled as you to ask for an admin's assistance. Please don't tell me where I can and can not post, with the exception of your own talk page.
 * You appear to be confused. I've replied at your talk page. The executive summary is I do not think I can change all maps "without approval", nor am I trying to. I have no opinion on "your map" or "Bosonic dressing's map", merely on the edit war the pair of you appear to had over the two. Indeed, I am currently trying to gather consensus for an entirely different map - one I won't add to articles until there is consensus to do so. Indeed, at this point the new style of map has not even been created, as you'll realise if you check the post I made which you refer to. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 23:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Users like think so, if you're currently trying to gather consensus for an entirely different map, then you shouldn't say "pre-existing consensus", prove that multiple pre-existing consensus, because remember that  changed South American maps, African maps, European maps and it needs a multiple consensus approved not "trying to gather consensus" as you said. --TownDown How's it going? 23:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Replied here. Executive summary is that I suspect Bosonic dressing is considerably less confused than you appear to be. "Pre-existing consensus" refers to the consensus that existed at each article before you changed the map, and before the pair of you started reverting each other. Incidentally, there's really no need to echo everything you post on my talk page here, I watchlist both (and yours, too, if that helps). Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 23:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Replied here. Please, tell me where's it that Pre-existing consensus to change all maps in all continents in all countries. --TownDown How's it going? 23:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Replied here. There wasn't one, the pre-existing consensus was for the existing maps; but that shouldn't (and indeed didn't) prevent you changing to a new map. All "pre-existing consensus" means in this context is that you shouldn't be surprised - after being bold - if another editor reverts you. The important thing is that neither of you should then have edit-warred over your preferred map - you should both have discussed the issue. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 23:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you tell me now where's it that global consensus to change all the maps?, where's it?, where's it?.--TownDown How's it going? 00:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Great, now we're having the same conversation in three different places! Replied, strawman. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 00:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Was this a preventative block? If so, could you explain how it is? The recreated article in question had already been salted.

 * True. I still don't see how it was a preventative block, since the sole focus of their edits had been protected from recreation, but given the user's repeated unwillingness to comply with policy, a block review is probably not worth the trouble. -kotra (talk) 21:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

User:Dublin1994
Was an indef block for vandalism really necessary? I wouldn't describe the editor as a vandal, though definitely POV-pushing, misguided, disruptive and adversarial. I dropped one final ultimatum on his talk page as a last ditch effort to encourage him to clean up, and would have blocked him if he disregarded the direct threat of blocking in any immediate edit thereafter; the indef block was dropped on before he seemed to have logged in again. I'm not contesting your actions, I'm just intrigued by your reasoning. You've been doing this admin business longer than me, maybe its just me still taking a too soft approach. -- Sabre (talk) 22:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I just don't think it's fair to compare two different types of titles. The Soviet leagues had the regular season (most of the time) deem the national champion, and sometimes they had a playoff for a cup to decide the league champion (though it was on and off). It's two different things to compare cups to titles IMO --Львівске (talk) 20:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I noticed your decline of the subject user's request to be unblocked. As I indicated earlier on his talk page his recent edits have generally been constructive so I'm somewhat puzzled as why you declined him for being disruptive. As I also indicated, I'm not an administrator so I may be missing something because I don't have access to the information but from what I've seen, I really think this editor should be given a second chance. Granted, he was originally blocked for being disruptive but he now seems genuinely interested in being constructive, as you can see by his edits at FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman and List of FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman episodes, the main pages that he edits, as well as his requests on my talk page.

I have has asked for a deletion review of Orly Taitz. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Dems on the move (talk) 17:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Aside from my disagreement with the outcome, I don't understand how you implemented it. I would think the normal procedure would be to blank the content and substitute a redirect.  That would facilitate the eventual creation of a better article, with more biographical information (per your closing comment), because the deleted text would still be available in the history and could be used as a starting point.  Yet, the history shows nothing except creation of a redirect in February.  Can we at least fix that? JamesMLane t c 12:17, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree, where is the historical article? A second point, Blueboy96 used the justification for the deletion that Dr. Taitz is notable only for representing two cases in the Supreme Court. It should be noted that if her case prevails, this will precipitate the greatest Constitutional crises in history. So, even if she does rate a deletion, at any rate, that should not be implemented until -after- the case is heard.

I submit she is also notable for being the subject of a controversy regarding censorship, ironically enough, in places like Wikipedia. At any rate, she is certainly more notable than people like Eric Alterman. Why does he have a page, which is a stub, and is notable for nothing other than being a commentator? At least Dr. Taitz is a Supreme Court Attorney, as well as Dentist. I have a hard time believing there is not an emotional/political motivation for the deletion, and furthermore the redirect to a page that characterizes her as "fringe" is nothing less than reprehensible and vindictive.

 * Deletes - Ottava Rima (nominator), RayAYang, Narson, Killiondude, Ironholds, Whitehorse1, Pointillist (allows for userfy, but all userfies are deletions), Xymmax (userfies are deletions), snigbrook, Jennavecia, OlEnglish,
 * Keeps - ViperSnake151 (creator of page), mattbuck, Yellowdesk (page editor), RHaworth, Agradman, DGG, Jeni, pd_THOR.
 * 11 deletes. Userfy is a delete, as you cannot redirect into user space. Two of the keeps are by people editing the page, so they are not objective to have weight. 1, Jeni, is simply following DGG which does not fall under consensus. Most of the keep statements were completely contradicted. So, just on numbers, it was: 58% delete, 65% delete when the two editors from the page are removed, and 69% when the joint vote is counted properly. Clear consensus to delete. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ottava, you forget yourself. You are not an administrator here, you do not have the right to undo an admin closing a DR. If you feel it is a mistake, you take it up here FIRST, then you let THEM reopen it.
 * As for your vote counting, DRs are not votes, they are discussions, and the closing admin has the right to veto anything. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If I have to take this to DRV, I will ask for you, Blueboy, and ViperSnake blocked for outright disruption and trolling, along with seeking a desysop for Blueboy's constant closing of AfDs after 3 days instead of the necessary 7.

 * The only way to close a page before 7 days is through "snow". The justification for a "snow" close is an essay. Anyone nominator who is snowed can restore the process because snow is only an essay. The same is true at RfC if the subject wishes to continue. I have every right to undo the action. The edit warring was completely inappropriate and anyone who knows anything about AfD would have known the above. Thus, actions in support of that edit warring are furthering a disruption of a normal process. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:26, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm further intrigued as to when I have edit warred over this. I just said here that you shouldn't revert it yourself, I made no edits reverting your reopening. -mattbuck (Talk) 14:09, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If my !totals are incorrect, please fix the summary I've left at the AfD (I was treating userfy as being the same as incubate). I agree that !votes aren't exactly votes, but they definitely are for the purpose of WP:SNOW, so they can be used to query early closure. Personally I am happy to "incubate" or delete the current article: one day this topic will be important but it has been published too soon because there aren't enough facts yet. - Pointillist (talk) 00:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Orly Taitz
Hello! Regarding your closure of the deletion debate, would you object to restoring the former article's revision history and talk page (while retaining the redirect to Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, and even protecting it if necessary)? I believe that this would satisfy many of those objecting to the deletion (including me), as it would enable editors to address the issues said to justify the redirection (by expanding the text and seeking consensus to revive the dedicated article if/when this becomes feasible in the future). Thanks very much for your consideration. —David Levy 12:19, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

On another point, I see no explanation as to why you closed this discussion after less than 4 days, barely half the prescribed length. At the very least, a discussion this contested should have been allowed to run the full prescribed period. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:15, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Why _did_ you close that at under 4 days, instead of letting it run for the full 7? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And Articles for deletion/Armen Vartanian, also closed short of 4 days.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

In the Orly Taitz discussion you said: "In the five days since this debate opened, the article essentially remained a stub, and there wasn't enough biographical information added to prove she is notable beyond the "birther" debate. Granted, there was a fairly large majority of "Keeps," but articles like this are, to my mind, a textbook example of why AFD is not a vote"

Several things strike me as weird about that. First, you say: "five days". But the Wikipedia policies say: "The discussion lasts at least seven days"...

Second, you say: "There wasn't enough biographical information added to prove that she is notable beyond the birther debate." I believe that that is a straw-man argument that you raised to make the "keepers" look foolish.

According to Wikipedia policy, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." The "event" is the creation of a movement that has lead almost a quarter of all Americans to question whether their president is legally entitled to his position. That is significant. The woman is the leader (or one of the leaders) of that movement. So yes, she is only famous for a single event, but she can still be noteworthy according to wikipedia policy. -- Prescod —Preceding undated comment added 05:08, 4 August 2009 (UTC).

AFD not a vote?
I see that you deleted Orly Taitz in spite of the fact that the deletion discussion revealed, if anything, a consensus to keep. You note that AFD is not a vote, which is true. But that doesn't mean that the closing admin just gets to decide to do whatever they like. It means that we require more than a simple majority in order to delete an article. The only exception given in policy is when the person themselves have requested that the article be deleted - nobody has suggested that Taitz has done so. Your attitude towards deletion basically seems to imply that the closing admin can basically just ignore what anybody has said in the deletion discussion and do what they like. This is clearly absurd. There was no consensus to delete in the discussion. Taitz is not a little known person who has requested that her article be removed. As such, there was no grounds for you to close the discussion with the result being delete. The result was "no consensus." john k (talk) 23:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I have reduced your block of to one month after an appeal on unblock-en-l. He has had the account for quite some time. I have counseled him regarding attempting to advertise his business. Fred Talk 15:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Why did you delete the new Nicktoons Network, Nick Jr. and Nick at Nite logos?
The deletion summary on File:Nick Jr. logo 2009.svg, File:Nicktoons Network logo 2009.svg and File:Nick at Nite logo 2009.svg says "Speedy deleted per CSD F7, was a file with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago." as logos in typeface are Public domain (See WP:Public domain) therefor do not need fair use rationale and the uploader was not notified more than 48 hours ago. Why did you delete the logos? Powergate92  Talk  04:15, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

He's gone right back to re-adding the petition link to the UPN article, and I'm at 2RR with him...can we put it on the blacklist so it can't be linked to?  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:31, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't get this: has not edited for two years, yet you blocked him for multiple accounts. Could you explain this? Fred Talk 23:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Paki90
If you check the recent edits of Paki90 you will see that he has once again started adding Shia Islam to multiple articles. This was part of the issue leading to his probation. WWGB (talk) 00:37, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Request to unblock User:Picoplatin1
It appears that the Picoplatin article wasn't intended as promotion, so User:Picoplatin1 isn't a promotional username and the user should not have been blocked. If this is true, your speedy deletion rationale would be incorrect as well.

I googled the term, and the user's explanation checks out. May I unblock? rspεεr (talk) 10:18, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Block Evasion?
Hi B~! Please take a look at this, and tell me what you think of it because I smell a big, fat rat and it is now frantically gnawing for page protection at WP:RPP. --Dave1185 (talk) 21:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

User talk:NewYorkCity101
Can you please check this user's edits and fix the mess they've created? After many warnings from me for going on a quixotic quest to stop the long-stopped BenH, they're now moving to making completely unneeded and unasked for page moves that break templates, uploading junk images to Simpsons articles over ones that have been there for years and making other bizarre and unsourced edits. They've already had a sock account blocked and my patience with them is exhausted. I would do reverting but i'm at work and stuck sending this on my phone.
