User page categorization
Greetings! Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new User Categorization scheme. I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in Rhode Island (Category:Wikipedians in Rhode Island) since your name was listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Rhode Island page.  The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Rhode Island page is scheduled for deletion.  Thanks!  (BTW, I love your user page!)  Roby Wayne  Talk &bull;  Hist 00:30, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

User:JarlaxleArtemis
Jeremy's now trying to block deletion of images that were the subject of his current and/or previous arbitration, plus various others, for reasons that don't really make a lot of sense. Perhaps you could cast your votes at Images_and_media_for_deletion/2005_September_3 so that consensus can be reached. —Psychonaut 10:18, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Problems in the Wikiverse

Hmmm...
I'm just wondering why you think I'm the same person as 'Jarlaxle', seeing as you no doubt have IP info that says otherwise. And who the fuck created 'Jaralaxle is Marmot'?


 * Well, MARMOT, I actually never said that. I KNOW that you aren't Jarlaxle. Where do you get this idea that I think this? The only equality that you and he share are that you two are both banned. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 19:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Verror templates

The wick effect
Hi,

There is a problem with The wick effect that needs an admin to fix. Could you either help with sorting out a move / redirect problem or point me to the correct place to have this fixed. We would like to move The wick effect to the more correct title "Wick effect" but can not do this as Wick effect currently redirects to Spontaneous human combustion and so the redirect needs deleting. However, it does not seem to meet the speedy requierments and I think a VfD would be overkill. The problem has been listed on Requested moves for some time, but it seems lost behind arguments about moving things.

Let me know the best way to proceed. Andreww 07:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Linuxbeak 2
Just to let you know: in the German wiki a vandal (Linuxbeak) appears to have copied your username and | every contribution of his replaced the article with this senseless sentence (as well as as edit summary): "Alex Schenck was butt-raped by his father multiple times. He eventually started liking it, and now he is a pedophile who himself butt-rapes little boys." Searching for "Alex Schenck" with Google lead me to your userpage, and it is your name. He is now banned after only fifteen minutes of contributing, but since he never expressed himself in the German language (maybe he cannot even speak German), he might also poison the wikis of other languages. I don't know what you could do about it - after all he's more likely to be banned long before you could find him - but, like I said, just to let you know. This might be among the most absurd, but not the least innovative none the less, way of vandalism against other contributors that Wikipedia has ever seen. =)NightBeAsT 21:31, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA
Dear Linuxbeak: I would like to thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I am honoured that your first edit to Wikipedia after your break was to support my adminship! I am most grateful for the trust that has been placed in me by yourself and other members of the Wikipedia community, especially since I did not conform to the standard edit-count criteria usually expected of administrator candidates. I promise to only use my administrative privileges to assist the community in doing good work, and also to be calm, considerate and careful in working to make Wikipedia a better place. It is always a pleasure to converse with you on IRC; your friendship is greatly valued. I look forward to working, and conversing, with you in the future.

Someone impersonated you in Czech Wikipedia
An idiot impersonated you on Czech Wikipedia and vandalised pages. There was discussion about it, someone pointed the same guy did the same on German Wikipedia (in Czech).

TI-89 Linux?!?
Your profile says you put linux on your ti-89. Was that some hardcore programming on your part or something an up and coming Linux geek could do??

Hey there
Hey, I was just viewing the case against JarlaxleArtemis (he kept editing my roommate's page calling him a puppet) and saw you. CAP, eh? Sweet deal. I'm in AFROTC (did AFJROTC in high school). I have a buddy at URI for this semester because of Katrina.

Anyway, hope you're enjoying CS. It's not a bad major.

Tampering with user pages
Believe me, I am no fan of JarlaxleArtemis. Dig in the archive of his talk page and you're sure to see signs of a spat with me. Actually I think he's particularly noxious and his past misdemeanors are why his page is on my watchlist. Which is why I noticed this edit of yours to it. I'm not completely happy with your removal of his somewhat self-aggrandizing list of accomplishments, but really can't bring myself to make it an issue. However, adding something to it in the first person, without signing it, is very poor practice. Specifically, your addition of "I am now now [sic] banned from Wikipedia thanks to my bad attitude and my trollish behavior." Nobody, least of all an administrator (no matter how provoked), should put words in others' mouths. I urge you to remove this comment, or better, to self-revert. -- Hoary 05:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Linuxbeak. I agree with Hoary. I've seen some of Jarlaxle's behaviour towards you, and I am absolutely one hundred percent on your side. He fully deserved to be banned. But now, he has been, so let's not be ungenerous. I'm not British, but I admire the British idea of not kicking a dog when he's down. "Shame, Corin," said the King. Never taunt a man save when he is stronger than you: then, as you please." (C.S. Lewis: The Horse and His Boy) I'd also like you to consider removing this unnecessary taunt. And again, I stress, I know what Jarlaxle has put you through, and you have my full sympathy. I hope you'll consider this. Regards, Ann Heneghan (talk) 16:14, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with both of you. What I did was a bit stupid, and I'm revising it as we speak. Linuxbeak | Talk 16:16, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry
I'm sorry that I thought you were a vandal, and even have asked that on the IRC. But you may not know this yet. As a dutch user i'm active on the Afrikaanse Wikipedia: af: and recently someone made stupidname account. See this. I am personal responsible for blocking this vandal on 'infinite' because some research I made earlier that day found out that this was a regular vandal on the English Wikipedia. I will patrol on the Dutch, the Afrikaans and the Danish wikipedia to watch for more of these stupidname accounts are made. O if you want to know you're dealing with.

Articles for deletion/Ali ibn Abu Talib (Radiallahuanhu)
Hi, I notice you've done the redirect which seems to be the most sensible course of action. I'm not clear what follow-up action, if any, is necessary. The article creator felt that (Radiallahuanhu) was a necessary addition and someone else put it up for deletion arguing that was a Sunni point of view. What seemed to emerge from the limited discussion was that some note should be made on the Ali ibn Abu Talib page that there were differences of interpretation between Shi'ites and Sunnis on this. I'm certainly not competent to write such a note but having none may effectively leave a Shi'ite POV. What do you think? Dl yo ns 493  Ta lk   00:37, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK will consider - probably stirring up a hornet's nest. Really a matter for the original creator. Thanks.  Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk   00:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments at User talk:JarlaxleArtemis
Linuxbeak,

I know that Jarlaxle has been a remarkable troll and nuisance, and that much of his ire was directed at you. Nevertheless, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't make nasty comments on his talk page&mdash;particularly while the page is protected and he can't respond. For one thing, it's unsportsmanlike to kick him (again) while he's down. For another, it's a violation of the protection policy. Please don't do it again.

Deleted article
Hello, I see you deleted Curse of the white sox yesterday. Well, the anon re-created the page again today. Would you mind deleting it again? There is no such thing as the "Curse of the white sox" and the article is one sentence (and the title is wrong, it should be White Sox, but that is a moot point). Have a good one!--CrazyTalk 02:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Deletion debate on Gaytarded
I was the original nominator for the Gaytarded article on Votes for Deletion. I notice that you closed the debate today, after Articles for deletion/Gaytarded had been open for less that six hours. The normal policy on Articles for deletion is to leave articles open for five days. I would feel more comfortable if the article were left open for somewhat longer. I understand that a consensus seems to have developed, but if you are going to close a deletion debate early, I think that you should explicitly state that in the debate results, and I really don't think that things should be cut shorter than one day. Please feel free to comment on my Talk page. This truly is a horrible and stupid article, but I have a lot of respect for the deletion process. -- Creidieki 05:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I am concerned about you
You blocked indefinitely for creating a vanity article and vandalizing a user page. No warnings were issued.

Please note that this is not acceptable. Unless you have a damn good explanation for this block, I am going to remove it. Kelly Martin 04:02, 19 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, this is one of those rare times that I will actually disagree with your opinion. Allow me to explain...
 * Personal attack on AFD page; "...Ben D. you brainless fuck wit, at least read the content which was formely posted..."
 * Removes comments after being asked not to.
 * Blanks user page of Ben D.; as you recall, he just called Ben D. a "brainless fuck wit".
 * Vandalizes user page of Ben D. after I revert him.

Now, according to WP:BLOCK, I am allowed to block him. Quote: "Sysops may also block new user accounts that make lots of disruptive edits, for any length of time or permanently, at their discretion." Perhaps a warning might have been less "controversial", but I did no wrong by blocking someone who was attacking another Wikipedia user. Linuxbeak | Talk 16:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm still concerned. A warning and a chance to comply would have cost you nothing and would have given the user a chance to stop.    This isn't the Wild Wild West; we don't need to shoot on sight here.  Tame it down; if you can't, I strongly urge you to consider taking a wikibreak or finding something other than RC patrol to do for a while.  You've been too aggressive lately.  Kelly Martin 17:07, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

If you recall the Bensaccount RfC
I've been RfC'd by SlimVirgin on violating Wikipedia is not a battleground. I've posted some information about how she injected herself into the Requests for comment/Bensaccount dispute after we requested that an admin delete the RfC. It is my opinion that she brought her dispute against me on into the Bensaccount RfC and that she made the Bensaccount RfC a battleground. I've posted a description of what I think happened around the Bensaccount RfC here []. Could you provide a comment of your view about what happened around the Bensaccount RfC. You can post it here Requests for comment/FuelWagon 2. Thanks. FuelWagon 18:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Request
Hi Alex, I would like you to express your opinion, which I respect so much in the talk page of Miguel Piñero. A user insists in deleting information which I believe is essencial to the article and seems to have a disrepectful atitute. Tony the Marine 22:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

You wikified Red Square in the text.

The vital clue in the book is that the sender has confused the place, with the geometric figure. Wikifying Red Square may, or may not give anything away. (Personally, I don't think so.)

Hey Alex :.)
I saw your message in my talk page, but I couldn't answer until now. This guy that I got into a minor dispute with (you know the Miguel Pinero page) asked me to help him out with an imposter. It turned out to be a dispute involving at least seven newbies and they turned my talk page into a war zone. I put an end to that and cleared half of my talk page, what a mess. I'm glad that you're doing fine. Don't hesitate to notify me and Antonio if you run again, you're one of the good guys and we need you there. When you have time let me know about your trip.

POPBot #2
Fvw, you wrote above that your POPBlocker needs another admin to run/block. I might be interested in doing that, but my level of technical competence is very low. Could you possible give me more details about what the "job" entails &mdash; i.e. is it just mass-blocking a list of IPs, or editting through open proxies? Thanks.

 * [from email --fvw] I'm interested in taking it over, if you need someone. How can I help? --Linuxbeak
 * Thanks for your offers, what I can give you is
 * A list of IPs that were open proxies during the last scan
 * Shell scripts that block a list of IPs
 * Shell one-liners to extract a plain list of IP:port's from some of the more popular open proxy lists
 * Scripts to check whether an open proxy can edit wikipedia
 * A script to extract a list of tor proxies that can edit wikipedia from the node directory (this one isn't my work, it's a slight edit of someone else's script)
 * glue scripts
 * What you'd need is
 * An admin account on wikipedia
 * An account on a unix machine with perl, zsh, lynx and all the usual niceties
 * A reasonable familiarity with shell scripting and how open proxies work (perl might be useful too)
 * The ability to write shell oneliners to scrape the list of to-be-tested addresses from online proxy lists (the current ones won't stay active or current forever)
 * The willingness to dig through it all; it works well, but it's just a bunch of clumped together shellscripts. You need to work out what you want to do in what order
 * The time to handle complaints about blocks
 * I've put a tarball of the scripts and data (with the keys and edit tokens changed) at http://www.var.cx/wpproxycheck.tar.gz, I trust you'll be able to arrange things amongst yourselves. --fvw *  00:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I cannot speak for the arbitrators. I assume that they will be reasonable, and will take note that the respondent has been properly notified on his talk page, and will decide whether to accept the case based on whether the facts as stated by the parties who have stated anything are a prima facie case.


 * A few years ago, my teenage daughter and I were being harassed by a mentally unbalanced young woman who claimed that my daughter was trying to steal her boyfriend. After considerable harassment, I filed a motion for a restraining order with the city superior court.  The defendant was properly served by a process server.  She never showed up in court for the hearing.  The result was that the judge ruled based on the affidavit that I had filed.


 * At least one of the arbitrators is a lawyer and knows what the rules are when defendants in civil case fail to respond. I think that the arbitrators will follow a combination of law and common sense.  Robert McClenon 18:58, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Speedy keep
I must say the I disagree with your move to speedily keep Daniel Brandt. As far as I acn tell there were three calls (including one which say "possibly" and yourself) for speedy keep and two calls for not speedy keep (including myself). All of the keep votes that said nothing, in my mind, could be counted as normal keeps (i.e. not speedy). I understand that it is clear that the article would be kept, but I feel that ending it early makes it look like some sort of secret cabal is controlling the discussion (it costs us nothing to keep it open longer but Brandt could spin the early closure in some sort of anti-wikipedia propaganda). I'm not going to undo it because the damamge is already done.Broken S 22:06, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
