Ebony March
Thank you. I will restrain my rhetoric in any future similar cases. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this. If you have not seen the related sock investigation, it might be of some use. Thanks again, and apologies. Qworty (talk) 18:51, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw it. Not a problem, it was just a friendly reminder that anything said here can be rather visible. Guy (Help!) 21:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Valerie Sinason
Hi there; you blocked Akuma khan for unsourced BLP on this article. The thing is, he is right. The article alleges that it is widely accepted that intellectually handicapped people are all victims of sexual abuse, which is patently untrue. And he has corrected the article to the much more reasonable text saying that Sinason posits this opinion. As to his having more than one account I make no judgement, but in my opinion his reversion is correct. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Although I would appreciate it if you would indicate which other account you believe he has used abusively. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:56, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a WP:SPA pushing satanic ritual abuse claims in BLPs, and the first edits were perfectly wikiformatted. WP:DUCK. Guy (Help!) 22:59, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * He has clearly been here before, conceded. Although abusing multiple accounts has not yet been demonstrated. SPA I can see, but Sinason is still wrong, and the specific reversion for which he is blocked is not, IMHO, a violation. But I will take it no further. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:14, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Regina Rams
Hi, this page, Regina Rams, is still protected for no reason. I had submitted a draft on Talk:Regina_Rams and had forgotten about it because it was a while ago. So, now I would like you to take a look and make a decision. Thank you. Cmm3 (talk) 22:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Apologies
For troubling you but this user requires attention - I've blanked the user page for a 2nd time too. Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 09:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC) *Thanks, I'm looking at it. Guy (Help!) 11:42, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Solving a non-malicious outing by a third party
Sorry to trouble you, but in the course of a discussion another editor has written a comment of the form Realname (see registered editor's talk page. I warned the outer of this at, and she replied "I was not aware of that policy. Thanks for letting me know. She didn't really seem to be hiding her identity based on what was being submitted." Nothing seems to have been done and I don't know if the outee has been informed.

The matter is mildly complicated by the fact that, indeed, the owner of the outed account is fairly easy to identify based on her interest and style. In fact I'm pretty sure she's recently set up another account to edit Pen y Bryn, her central interest, but I'm not complaining about sockpuppetry here and now.

I'd like to suggest to the outed editor that a friendly administrator should remove the offending edit from the page history, and presumably this edit of mine as well. I have avoided any more direct contact partly to avoid creating too much of a trail of edits to be deleted. Alternatively she might be happy enough to be publicly identified as the owner of her old account, but if so, a clear statement from her to that effect would be good.

I have one other account, but not with admin privileges. Can I leave appropriate action with you? Civis Romanus (talk) 11:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No harm no foul, I think, I have redacted the name. You might want to discuss this at WP:COIN or WP:RSN. This is not the first time we've come across people using Wikipedia for primary publication of local history. Guy (Help!) 12:10, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri
Hi there. As the admin who deleted and protected Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri "until we have a sourced, verifiably neutral draft version," I was wondering if you can weigh in on the discussion at WP:AN in which a purported representative of Kashmiri's party has submitted a replacement bio (apparently at the suggestion of an OTRS volunteer?) to AfC and even if we want to accept it, we can't do so because the target page is protected. I know you previously mentioned the COI concerns, but I'm at a loss as to how we proceed here. Thanks. Zachlipton (talk) 03:00, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hm
I know you've done work with problematic articles on similar topics, so I figure you'd be a good person to ask: do you think this could be troublesome? DS (talk) 15:13, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You're not wrong. 17 unique Google hits, stands zero chance not even a notable diploma mill. Thanks. Guy (Help!) 14:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

good, did you delete the business card images too?
They are all on commons; I nominated them myself but no one has deleted them. And I even did it as a speedy for copy vio I thought they'd be gone in an hour. Daniel Christensen (talk) 13:50, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Commons deletion takes a little longer, ask at the commons admin board if they are not gone soonish. Guy (Help!) 14:29, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * They are gone now. If it's not a big deal I guess email me the text of the subpage. Daniel Christensen (talk) 14:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Stone and Stone
Hey, just thought I'd let you know that that user isn't in COI in fact, he's an uninvolved editor who thought he'd take the username from the subject he's covering, as explained on his talk page. He was unblocked to change username but didn't understand the process and recreated his name as User:Comedybiographer.  Snowolf How can I help? 22:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * There are four separate accounts all editing just that one single article on a student comedy duo, and one of the has engaged in mas canvassing. I think that is a bit of a problem. Guy (Help!) 22:53, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * From what I've gathered interacting with the user and Alpha Quadrant on IRC, this is a case of a very confused new editor. The user apparently didn't know that logging in under a different username meant that she was creating new accounts each time. Furthermore, I think the canvassing was her simply not knowing what to do -- she'd been on the help channel in IRC a few times without getting much for help. Personally, I think blocking without any information on how to file an unblock request might have been a little harsh. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 01:26, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking over her contributions Comedybiographer appeared to be trying to get help and find an experienced editor. Comedybiographer has come into IRC a time or so before and asked questions on how to improve her article. I do not believe the canvassing was malicious.

Regina Rams
I noticed that on the talk page a user had asked for Regina Rams to be unblocked in September. You had asked for draft of the page and the user provided one. But that was the last heard, I just saw it and it looks good to me and is akin to the majority of CIS football team pages. So is it possible to move that draft to the main space now? Shootmaster 44 (talk) 01:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Do what you like, I am baffled by the ludicrous desire to document every trivial college team separately from its college. Guy (Help!) 08:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright. Then can you please remove the page protection so it is possible to do so? Shootmaster 44 (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Christian Zionism in the United Kingdom
I don't know if this interests you, but a while ago it was cleared up, it's now a mess again with the same editor replacing his earlier stuff. "It is a commonly held belief, whom some see as an established fact, that within the politics of the UK today the Israel Lobby is extremely influential, as is the case in the US, but admittedly in Britain to a smaller yet still substantively significant degree." with no source, as an example.
