Ooooooh....I hope the news is good!
For some reason, my Wikipedia e-mail hasn't been working well as of late and I didn't get your note. I'll contact you with my personal e-mail address. Oh, I hope this is good news regarding Bambifan. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Got it! Thanks for sending it.  I just told BellSouth the last-known IP in question, the date and time along with the time zone and that was about it.  The more info they can get, the better.  My first response was automated, but the second was not.  The ranges are 74.249, 70.146 and 68.220.  I think the ranges are from 0 to 16 and not 0 to 255.  So, blocking the 74.249 range would be a matter of blocking 74.249.0.0/16.  I hope that shuts him down over at Simple.  Every edit I've made since this past summer over there have been over him.  Gotta run, but I'll review your e-mail for any unanswered questions and I'll get back to you via e-mail when I do.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Jamesofur. and Simple English Wikipedia. User blocked Huik01. Concerned about Titan -sockpupperty imposter!!!!
Okay, James i could not find your e-mail address so i e-mailed the help line or whatever it is. 24hrs block is still on as far as i know, but what I don't understand is Mythdon accused me of being a puppeteer and creating the sock puppet Titan something. anyway i hope to be back asap. bye. --Huik01 (talk) 01:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey hulk, that's fine, don't worry about the sockpuppet accusation, if there isn't any clear evidence it was you then there is nothing that you need to worry about. Even if it was you it wasn't a horrible violation and I doubt it would even extend the current block. I hope to see you in 24 hours after some time off :) In the future if you need to email me you can do so with the (email this user) button on the left hand of the page when you look at my user page or user talk page (here or on any other wiki). You can of course always feel free to contact me on talk pages like this as well.  James  ( T | C )  01:40, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you James for the kind response. :) hope to see all of you soon, "time off" a rest period so to speak of. --Huik01 (talk) 01:52, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Abuse Report
Hi James

I am amazed that I ceased my vandalism here on Wikipedia. There is no need to contact my ISP anymore as I have my own place to edit. My own Wiki.--92.11.205.4 (talk) 16:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Abuse Response
Hi!

I am interested in helping with the Abuse Response team. I may be new to Wikipedia but I am very dedicated and a fast learner. How would I get involved? Thanks! Enti342 (talk) 03:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Enti342! Thank you for the note, While you are right that you are a but newer then we generally would prefer I would be happy to look over your contributions and talk with other members of the team. If you have not read some of our discussions on the AR Revamp you may want to take a look at it now especially the original discussion and proposal pages here and the more recent proposal here (with discussion here  James  ( T | C )  20:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Exception to abuse criteria for report?
I've just blocked an IP for continued vandalism at Johnson County, Kansas (in the Kansas City area), Talk:Johnson County, Kansas, and my userpage — it keeps making comments about the residents of Johnson County being religious bigots and Nazis. It would have been blocked more times, but I semiprotected the county article for a good while to deter it. It's been blocked after receiving suitable warnings for abusive edits, but it doesn't fit the criteria because my protection only enabled it to vandalise enough times to be blocked once. The IP is registered to the Kansas state government, so I wonder if we might make an exception here and report it? I understand that the state government doesn't want its employees vandalising Wikipedia anyway, but they really might want to know if one of their employees is publicly attacking the people of the most populous county in the state.

Anne Aghion
Hi, Jamesofur, I've replied on my talk page about Anne Aghion. Cunard (talk) 23:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Since you didn't seem to see my response at User talk:Cunard, I have copied the reply here: Thank you for notifying me. After reverting the addition of copyrighted content, I expanded the article using secondary reliable sources, so I don't think the filmmaker's website will have other useful information that can be added to the article. I note that you wrote in your edit summary on the talk page, "permission received for http://www.icepeople.com/filmmakers.html (text only)". Since the copyright holder contacted you, would you ask them if they are willing to release any photos of Anne Aghion under the Creative Commons license? I'm thinking about pictures such as this one. And if the people who own the rights to images on icepeople.com own the rights to those on anneaghionfilms.com, this picture would be pretty good too. Cunard (talk) 02:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Help user cluelessness please!
Hi James

Sorry to bother you out of the blue like this - I chose you pseudo-randomly from the terrifying abuse report page, on the grounds that if you operate in that rarified atmosphere you will know what to do with my far more day-to-day query: I am not sure who among my existing contacts and friends knows this stuff.

Here's the story - an IP address does very minor vandalism, silly joke on a serious page (which gets up my nose particularly badly for reasons with which I will not bore you) and it gets reverted but they're not warned. I feel that they need warning - their edit history of, er, 3 edits has a 100% hit rate of silliness, so maybe it's time someone let them know it's not unnoticed and not welcome. So fine, I warn them, but I have this other theory that adding the whois template helps - I think it can give disruptive users a shock to realize that they're a touch less anonymous than they think. However the whois result off the user page is confusing and I don't really know what to put, so what is currently there is a bit of a dog's breakfast to be honest. I'm also very aware that quite often when I leave a whois on a page, someone more clued up than me (it's not difficult to be!) comes along and tidies it up, but I don't know what algorithm they apply to do this so I can't replicate it. If you wouldn't mind please having the quickest of quick looks here:

User_talk:98.19.14.226

- I'd be very grateful for your advice - firstly on how to sort out the current messy thing I have there and secondly on what is a better general approach to getting the correct stuff there to begin with. Please note that I am not asking you to take any action with this user - that's not it at all, I'm quite happy with having warned them - it's just the question of how I could/should have done the whois bit better.

Again, apologies for the random approach and thanks in advance for any guidance. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 20:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in the response, I was in NYC for some interviews and a meeting. Sometimes the whois info from the toolserver link can be a little confusing because the official databases do not always spill out the most information on their API. I personally like which usually gives a more detailed response.  Looking at that you will see the real issue: Windstream Communications is the actual ISP BUT the IP itself has been assigned to their customer (see customer info) Pathology Medical Services. How you have it up at the moment isn't wrong, I would probably want both up their at some level. If you only want one you want to put Windstream Communications since they are the ones who own the actual IP and they could change who they give it to (for example if the medical company goes out of business. Windstream is also the company we would contact with an abuse report (and let them contact the company).   James  ( T | C )  19:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi James. Many thanks for the clarification and advice. I'm going to tidy it up a little based on what you've said. And, more importantly, I think I can see better what to do in future. Hope you had a good time at the meeting! Thanks and best wishes, DBaK (talk) 13:34, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

WP:ABUSE
Hello! My IRC client died on me, and when I got it back up I saw your nick changed to show you weren't available. I am still interested in helping out, if your are willing to show me the process. (I'm a quick learner!) Assuming the Processing of Cases is done as is listed on Abuse response/2009 Revamp, I think I can handle it. Anyways, let me know how I can help! Avic enna sis @ 08:24, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We would love to help out! I can explain on here but probably even better on IRC when we have a chance (perhaps this evening?). Once you get the hang of it it isn't bad and allows for some flexibility depending on the case and the person doing it.  James  ( T | C )  19:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I will be on IRC sometime around 0300-0400 UTC onwards - I'll ping you when I hop on. Thanks again. Avic enna sis @ 20:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Seem to keep missing you. I've filled out most of what seems important on Abuse reports/66.4.233.x. Wasn't sure if the report was still valid, since it was accepted back in '09, although there are edits and blocks as recent as this March. I also found 9 more IPs that were not in the original report. I think I am approaching the point of contacting the ISP, but I'm not sure when/how/what to say, if anything. To sum it up: I did put some effort into this, and would like some guidance before I go any further. Thanks again for all your help. Avic enna sis @ 07:23, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Aye, Talked to you on IRC about what to do in the report but I'll put it here for the record. Looks good to me and ready to move on (definitely still meets the criteria because of the recent block.)  James  ( T | C )  08:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Vandal IP
As one of the members of Abuse Response, I figured I would go to you. I got a message from a user Asking What could be done about This IP. Since they are not currently active, I don't think I can do AIV, but since other IPs in this range have been blocked (1,2,3,4) I think it may be worth reporting to the ISP or just outright blocking. What is the best move? Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 15:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Funnyfarm, thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure it's really there to start a report on (though if you are interested anyone can do it and I'll be happy to help you out) but it is definitely something to watch. We can definitely do a range for a report, it obviously doesn't make sense to wait until a single IP gets to be really bad when the guy is jumping Ips.  James  ( T | C )  09:51, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

RfA Congrats
This is a pre-official closure congratulations, James! 83% support should mean that you have passed the gauntlet successfully - unless a whole heap of opposes have been added since I last looked!

Although I am still a newbie admin (almost 2-1/2 months now!), if you want any advice feel free to contact me!

Enjoy the t-shirt when you get it... and Welcome to my Nightmare! --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 09:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Congratulations. If you ever need anything, let me know. Dloh  cierekim  13:43, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, still waiting for the official closure, but I'm giving you the T-shirt anyway - if a 'crat says you can't be an admin, you'll have to hand it back (in pristine condition, washed and ironed if possible)... --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 13:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you all! Thank fully I don't have to return the shirt because it seems to fit perfectly :) Hopefully it doesn't shrink in the wash.  James  ( T | C )  17:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Enjoy the mop, James. :) I updated your userpage to indicate your success, if you don't mind. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 11:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Prefixes in Hebrew
With all due respect and thanks for your attempt to clean up the history of these pages, you seem to have (inadvertently?) moved all the content on Hebrew suffixes back into the Prefixes article, so that article now discusses prefixes and then includes a duplicate of the Suffixes in Hebrew article. Obviously there's no reason for the suffix information to be included at Prefixes in Hebrew, but I didn't want to risk messing anything up further by just deleting the suffix info there.

 * You are correct, I knew that the history would transfer over but forgot to re-remove the suffix section (it is now done). Sadly we not copy the history over to the Suffix article but we can leave a link there on the talk page to direct them to the history for copyright reasons. (I'll go do that now and say here when done)  James  ( T   C )  16:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And now ✅ thank you again for pointing that out, I had planned to check in on the article but likely wouldn't have for a couple days, let me know if you have any other questions  James  ( T   C )  16:54, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
