Mediation Cabal: Request for participation
Dear Jasper Deng: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the Mediation Cabal, which is a Wikipedia dispute resolution initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.

The request can be found at Mediation Cabal/Cases/13 November 2011/Usage share of operating systems.

Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.

If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the case talk page, the MedCab talk page, or you can ask the mediator, thehistorian10, at their talk page. MedcabBot (talk) 20:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Folding@home article
Hi Jasper Deng!

Wow that is quite an impressive set of contributions (and userboxes!) you have there. Very nice, and thank you very much for your contributions. Hope to see you with a Barnstar or something! :) Looks like you love Windows, and computing-related articles. Have you ever read Folding@home? I think you might find it interesting if you haven't heard about it before. I've been doing a lot of editing on the article over the last several months, trying to bring it up to Good Article status. I just thought you might be interested in something like that is all. Best, Jessemv (talk) 06:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not an HPC guy, but I'm not really liking the lead of the article because it contains some WP:WEASEL words.Jasper Deng (talk) 18:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh? Interesting because both User:Emw and User:7im have said they like the lead. What part do you have problems with? Please point to specific examples and I'll do my best to address them. I am pursuing further research into the "Folding@home has caused paradigm shifts in protein folding theory" statement as to ascertain the exact details behind it. So if that's what you have a problem with know that I'm trying to take care of that. If something else, please specify if you can. Thank you. Jessemv (talk) 23:59, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * My concern is the use of terms like "accurate."Jasper Deng (talk) 00:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Yourname socks
How many pages have Yourname socks been responsible for the protection of in the past few days? Do you think 74.162.135.78 is one?--1966batfan (talk) 00:40, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I think this one is a different LTA, perhaps or Grawp.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:44, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think there is no use reverting him on talk pages (he's waiting to revert back). Just report to AIV or do something else until they are blocked. And then revert. Same as 4chan. Materialscientist (talk) 06:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. His only useful purpose appears to be finding proxies and Tor nodes for us to block. See Edit filter/Requested for a filter request I made for him (which should prove as most effective for this guy).Jasper Deng (talk) 17:58, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

New one: 31.31.36.246. I requested his talk page be protected as soon as I saw the trademark Yourname sock edits. Will he ever learn?--1966batfan (talk) 01:24, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's avoid giving him attention. I've requested an edit filter at Edit filter/Requested, but no-one has replied.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:25, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Revdel'd
I've revdel'd all the nonsense on your ip talk page - if I've missed anything else that needs to be zapped, let me know! Skier Dude ( talk ) 04:52, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think selective deletion is a better solution here. My own edit summaries and edits didn't have to be deleted, but, all that matters is that that guy's edits are.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:53, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Arcra
User:Arcra is a troll of whom?--1966batfan (talk) 01:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a sock, but an obvious troll that appears to be not related to a sockpuppeteer of any sort.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:17, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Re: MfD nomination of User talk:IceCreamDan1
Re: your message: I closed the MfD early. There's no real point in going through with it. The account is blocked, I deleted the talk page, and I've now protected the talk page from further edits. It is not unprecedented that the Wiki-webhost editors doing these fan reality television seasons/fan fiction things come back under either a new account or an IP to edit their old accounts. They either get attached to it or want to recover the previous work. If it happens again, I recommend requesting protection on WP:RFPP or leaving a note for the admin who blocked the account and deal with it without so much process as an MfD. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:40, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I requested it at RPP already, but made that comment on your talk page to make sure you weren't confused. Thanks.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:41, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Incomplete RfD
Because of an apparent Twinkle problem, a discussion was never created for Network Extrusion. I have removed the tag. Feel free to renominate. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 00:32, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for reverting the recent vandalism to my talk page. GoingBatty (talk) 21:31, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This guy is a long-term abuser of Wikipedia. Your welcome!!Jasper Deng (talk) 21:42, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandals and AIV...
I would appreciate it if you stopped using "Grawp (LTA)" as your reason in AIV reports. "/b/tard" should be good enough, as it denies recognition for Grawp. Thanks. → Σ  τ  c. 05:56, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * What is that? Grawp would raise the biggest alarm, and what we do to him is rather specialized to him.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:57, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Alarm? We're not the Secret Service here. WP:DENY, please, but /b/tard is hardly pleasant. A vandal is a vandal, let's not insult certain ones or indulge others. / ƒETCH COMMS  /  05:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The question is, what does /b/tard mean and what does it come from?Jasper Deng (talk) 05:25, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Answered my own question, but this guy is not a typical 4chan attacker. He's more than that.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:30, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and by alarm, I mean getting a higher priority at AIV.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * If he's more than that, even more reason to WP:DENY. / ƒETCH COMMS  /  15:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * As of the comment I made in reply to Sigma, I had already switched to /b/tard, but I don't think we're helping to DENY him by talking about him here.Jasper Deng (talk) 18:05, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

hacktivist
I think you know the relevant sources better than I: is there a basis for Entropy (hacktivist) ? I declined a speedy on it, but I'm not at all sure. I'll look here for your response.  DGG ( talk ) 05:31, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't hack, sorry, but this appears to be deletable as an unsourced BLP.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * right. For some reason I thought only of speedy or Afd (I asked you because of the various people commenting or editing similar pages, you were the one I recognised, and recognised as responsible).  DGG ( talk ) 19:05, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Title blacklist
~ Alison C. (aka Crazytales) 17:34, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Now all we need is for this entry to be extended to user talk page edits (or a new entry for that) and an entry for his vandalism since he more often uses anonymous IPs (proxies most of the time) and accounts that don't match that.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:15, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you post a request for that on WT:Edit filter WP:EF/R? I'm not going to touch the edit filter with a 39 1/2 foot pole because I doubt my regex-fu and I'm going to bed now (01:58 EST). Also, would you like vandalic IP edits to your talk page to be revdeleted, or just named users? ~ Alison C. (Crazytales) 06:59, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Please revdelete. As for the requests, I had filed an answered one (Yourname), but I didn't see any hits from the test filter.Jasper Deng (talk) 18:31, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * That guy looks familiar...Jasper Deng (talk) 01:56, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Judging by the mass-load of nonsense and memes, I believe there is another 4chan raid going on. It's not confirmed, but it sure looks like it. Reliable   Forever talk 02:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

That AIV report you made
Don't even think about mentioning him in the AIV report — you'll just provoke him. Treat him like a normal IP vandal, and RBI.  HurricaneFan 25  15:09, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Long-term abuse/banned user. Quite generic to me.Jasper Deng (talk) 17:28, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppet Claiming My Username
I just logged in today and learned that Yourname appears to be claiming my username. I have now been placed under a sockpuppet investigation. I am coming to you as you were the one who linked the comment by Yourname to the sockpuppet investigation. I would like to know what the process is for having me removed from the sockpuppet investigation as I am not a sockpuppet. Andrew Kurish (talk) 01:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

User talk:68.71.46.138
Hi Jasper Deng, I saw the very active edit war on User talk:68.71.46.138. May I suggest not feeding the troll? Thanks for your anti-vandalism work! Jusses2 (talk) 01:00, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Banned means banned. Selective deletion will make it as if it didn't happen. I'm seriously considering making a bot for this.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Just because a user is rude and most likely wrong doesn't mean they don't have the right to edit their talk page. Hello71 (talk) 03:43, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle/edit filter message
Just curious where this message is located? I saw you posted it on someone's talk page. Never have found it, may find it useful. Calabe1992 20:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's under "Single issue warnings."Jasper Deng (talk) 20:53, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Incidently...
While I agree that it was right to remove the trivia about Mario Bros., It's actually true....though it's just the first four measures that's used. They actually used a lot of (public domain) classical music in those days, as most of the time the music was done by programmers, not composers. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 05:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * When information does not look like it's true, I remove it (like if I find something saying Larry Ellison died).Jasper Deng (talk) 05:13, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Somonlast
Hi, I requested permanent block of this user Somonlast(User_talk:Somonlast | contribs) as he is continuously vandalizing many pages. But admins didn't respond for my request. so i request you to intervene in this and to bring a solution. Thanks. Abdul raja T  04:08, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Consider my warning an absolute final one. That niche website is in no way a reliable source at all for those kinds of allegations. Open a thread at WP:ANI if that user does it again, or if it's atrocious enough, simply report it to WP:AIV.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:09, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for saving me back there. I already reported it in WP:AIV but admins removed it without taking any action. That user edited Opus Dei‎ even after my final warnings twice. Please check whether you can do anything in this. Thanks. Abdul raja  T  04:27, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Finding out whether he/she has a conflict of interest will clear things up, but COI or not, that user appears to be an advocate for UniversityLeaks.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:29, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for spending your time in this stuff. Thanks again. Abdul raja  T  04:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

User reviews for ATIH
Hi You recently reverted [this change] to Acronis True Image Home. I am aware of RS rules, but for this the quote is regarding 'user reviews'. Seems RS for a user review. The editor review seems RS too. peterl (talk) 05:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the derivation of the reviews' overall opinion is original research. The editor review is very positive, and supports the previous statement. The user why tried to add it seems to be advocating a negative view about this software.Jasper Deng (talk) 17:48, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Request for your perspective on SOPA
Hi Jaspar, there's currently an ongoing discussion about splitting the Stop Online Piracy Act page at Talk:Stop_Online_Piracy_Act. You've familiarized yourself with the entry before, and your insight and perspective on the matter would be appreciated. Hope to see you there,  Sloggerbum  ( talk ) 00:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Mentorship
Hi Jasper,

I noticed that you state you are mentored to three other Wikipedia editors. I have been considering asking a specific sysop to mentor me, but I do not know much about the process. Could you possibly give me some advice about what it means for an experienced editor to have a mentor and how I might go about asking the sysop in question. Alternatively, you could point me toward pre-published information on this matter. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Ebikeguy (talk) 01:00, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * A mentor basically will direct you through tough situations, and will answer most of your questions. Usually mentorship is to fix a problem with an editor, and if it doesn't succeed then a block occurs. See Mentorship for more details.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:02, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think you need it though, considering you've been nominated for RfA before.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:03, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for the info!  Merry Christmas.  Ebikeguy (talk) 01:08, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You too!Jasper Deng (talk) 01:40, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
For keeping watch over my edits. I trust you and your opinion. Please usnderstand that my full intention goes toward this project's well being. That means squat if WP's policies and guidelines are not observed. I'll rely on you (and others) to determine where that line lies. Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you observe...or don't...i hate not knowing what sensibilities i might be offending on such an anonymous medium...  Tide  rolls  01:23, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You too!Jasper Deng (talk) 01:40, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Another thank you
I want to mention how much you make my life easier by responding to some of the comments left on my talk page. With all the AVP and NPP I do, it can be a little stressful to deal with well-meaning editors. Your assistance keeps my wikistress levels down! Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 04:32, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia can be stressful, but we all just have to deal with it. Only that it doesn't have to be our own :) .Jasper Deng (talk) 04:33, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey please Block User:Bakho !
Hey, I agree with u , but User:Bakho is removing the references already retrieved. I have even seen the old revisions of both User:Bakho and User:Divy1996. Plzz u too see the old revisions done by User:Bakho.
 * I'm not an admin. But I am warning you to stop edit warring. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right. But the edits are stale. No need to block.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:45, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

I apologize for trying to revert too many times. I was unaware of a limit
I am merely trying to disambiguate the Address Verification System page. I would be happy to even edit the main page instead of creating a new one (which I did, Postal Address Verification).

Query
What is it you wanted on my talk page? I got Sudo's message, spoilsport that he is, but I do not know what you are doing there. I'm pretty certain I apologised to the billions of editors I have "attacked".... Djathink imacowboy  (yell)  08:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

 * SudoGhost and I work in the same subject matter, but I don't understand why you were reverting him in the first place. That message on his talk page was totally uncalled for. I have no more words on this subject.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
