School blocks
Hey Netsnipe, I totally agree with your philosophy of school blocks. I see you've copped criticism for your long term school blocks (Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive83), but I honestly believe a lot of harm is prevented with long term blocks. This is probably how the ideal block log should be for long-term school vandals. Not to say that all edits from schools is vandalism, but there's simply way too much junk that comes from schools in general. Spellcast (talk) 02:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

IP address 141.150.147.210, User talk:141.150.147.210 registered to Newark Public SchoolsUser is vandalizing again. Saw you had power to long-term block and wondered if you'd like to do so again. SmithBlue (talk) 01:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC) Just saw that some dont like long term school blocks. Seems OK to me. SmithBlue (talk) 01:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Matt Furey deleted?
Why? It seems Furey has decided he will not allow himself to be represented on Wikipedia.

How can that be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.99.100.2 (talk) 21:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The version of the Matt Furey article that I deleted on April 20, 2007 was entirely a rant from someone with a grudge that contained no referenced and neutral content at all. Essentially it was two lines of libel and insults. See Attack page for further details. If you provide me with your email address I'll be more than happy to email you the deleted content so you can see for yourself. --  Netsnipe   ►  14:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikiquote user Netsnipe
I am an admin on English Wikiquote, where there is a username Netsnipe whose user and user talk pages soft-redirect to the equivalent pages here. Could you let me know (A) if you are indeed the same person who registered this Wikiquote username; and (B) if you know why anon user 71.254.132.141 posted to your WQ talk page (invisibly, since it's a redirected page) about "Svogman" and referencing his own Wikipedia talk page? I am looking into some possible vandalism connections involving this IP address. You can reply to me either here or on Wikiquote. Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffq (talk • contribs) 15:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is my Wikiquote username. Comparing Special:Contributions/Svramon and Special:Contributions/71.254.132.141, it was quite apparent to me at the time that they were the same vandal and since I protected his talk page to prevent further unblock trolling, he/she probably decided to try and reach me via my other Wikimedia project user talk page. --  Netsnipe   ►  17:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Philip H. Farber (2nd nomination)
I have nominated Philip H. Farber for deletion. You previously contributed to an earlier AfD on this article and it was suggested that I notify you of the current AfD. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Philip H. Farber (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Template:Install RTF
The template was used and intended to be subst into the talk page of an article to make tagging of rotorcraft articles easier under the auspices of the Rotorcraft task force of WikiProject Aircraft.

Apologies
I must admit that I got carried away. I know it's him because he had used that IP address to create his user page and edited some other minor works. I got snubbed big time by that bastard when I queried him on his email as to why he doesn't bother about copyvio issue over a few of his uploaded images and adding some of these unhelpful data/infos. Can't help it but at least I got my revenge now (whatever). Pervert huh, me? Sorry for ranting like mad man. Regards.--Dave1185 (talk) 15:32, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

massive edit warring
i hope you (probably) be joking on my talkpage. however, take a look at this: and this:. This is why I am retiring. They are playing out aka disrupting the WP:3RR. What to do with such ultra-agressive users? I wrote down my opinion about them on my userpage, hence i quit, so it doesnt matter if i get blocked for PA. I suspended the template "reirement" for this comment, so you cant say anything about inconsistency. i probably look back a few times, yes, as anyone who got annoyed as much as i am. now i put the template back, cheers --Rembaoud (talk) 16:45, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Can you redirect Bsrboy's talk page to Bsrboy2's talk page. I can't, because I'm a new editor >.< Thanks! Bsrboy (talk) 18:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, the fun of being an admin
Just FYI your buddy Bsrboy there used the "E-mail this user" feature to contact me to complain about the protection of Ivybridge and, of course, to complain about his treatment in general. It took me about 5 seconds of looking at the article and his own userpage to see what was up, but I thought I'd let you know what he's up to. 23skidoo (talk) 00:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * He emailed me as well. I made my reply on Talk:Ivybridge. I wonder how many admins he's contacted.  Aleta  Sing  00:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * At least one more; I have the same story as User:Aleta and User:23skidoo. Seeing as how this situation is in good hands, I don't feel any need to add comments on his talk page and will not respond further unless you wish it. OMG, it just occurred to me -- he's proceeding alphabetically down the list of admins. Is this an instance where we contact his service provider, or his mom, to get this stopped? Let me know if there's something further you want to have happen. Accounting4Taste: talk 03:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No sign of him having gotten past the As, so I'm not that alarmed just yet. What would be useful to do in such cases, if they persist, is to be able to disable "Wikipedia e-mail" for a given user at source. (Perhaps stewards or devs are already able to do that?) Alai (talk) 11:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

This editer has just contacted me through wiki mail twice. As he was blocked not only for sock puppetry but also for calling me a nigger and a black bastard i would appreciate it if you could try and resolve this ang get back to me. Its already caused me enough heartache. Realist2 (talk) 14:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Did he racially abuse you in his emails as well? If so, please forward the email in full with headers and I'll organise an abuse report to be filed with his ISP via CheckUser. I suggest you just add him to your ignore list, he's spamming a whole lot of administrators right now. --  Netsnipe   ►  14:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

No there was no racial abuse, he was actually asking me questions about the rules on sockpuppetry. I believe he has accounts on other language wikipedias. I will post the emails at his page. Bare with me. Realist2 (talk) 14:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't post the emails. There's no need and secondly, his talk page is fully protected now. I initially thought you were another administrator. --  Netsnipe   ►  14:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks For Your Attention
I had a feeling it might be a problem with USC's IT guys. I'll see if there is some way I can get through to them from the inside. I've noticed that if I send them an email from a non USC email address they reply with apathy. It's funny, if someone uses P2P software they jump on that right away. I’ve known people who had their computer taken by IT for downloading movies. Plus the routers at USC are hyper sensitive. It’s pretty easy for benign traffic to cause an auto shutoff of one’s connection. So it’s certain that they should be able to get on top of this. I’m not sure why they haven’t.

For finally blocking that user who continued to add nonsense to Footscray City College as can be seen here I reported it at the AIV 10 minutes before you blocked it and the user made another 3 edits in the meantime. I think everytime i add a user to the page the bot automatically tells me i didn't add a reason but i did as you can see here Maybe thats why it took so long, dont know what im doing wrong.

Take That/Never Forget controversy and page protection
Hello. It is well-documented that the band Take That made the statement on its website that the editor quoted, and numerous news articles besides the one in The Times have noted the controversy. It is clear that Take That distanced itself from the musical and has had no involvement in the development of the musical. Editor Light Defender is overly sensitive to the issue, I think, because he is new to Wikipedia and is employed in the production of the musical Never Forget. I would think that it is appropriate to mention the fact and to cite the article from The Times that the editor cited. Also, I doubt that the use of the Never Forget poster image is appropriate in the article under "fair use". Best regards. -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:30, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: CAT:TEMP
That's simply not fair. I didn't imply you were a bad administrator. But you deleted a very old page using an entirely misleading edit summary. General practice has been not to delete pages of banned users, especially in cases where multiple sock puppets may have been used. I apologize if I offended you, but edit summaries are the only thing that non-administrators are able to see with regard to a deleted page. If an administrator says that a page was deleted because it was in CAT:TEMP, then there is an obligation to ensure that that is true. The deletion form always allows for a custom summary if that is what is required. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. This guy has created numerous accounts to evade his original block, as well as using several IPs. He insists on having his own way with articles and will not discuss his edits. I aways recognise him instantly, so recognisable are his edits. He's a pest, and I suggest we can do without him. -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 18:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm just seeing whether a fresh approach from a different admin can lead to a less antagonistic response and hopefully some reform at the root cause of their original block before he/she hops back onto the sockpuppetry treadmill. But judging from this teenager's poor English skills so far, I'm starting to be very doubtful that they're even mature enough to be on Wikipedia. --  Netsnipe   ►  19:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but I've had him for about three months now, and I've tried pointing him at policy, discussing his edits and why they're unconstructive, and I've lost count of how many accounts he's registered to evade his original block. If you think he's salvageable, feel free to keep an eye on his edits. He's also not too hot on image policy, which to me is a big no-no. -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 19:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Sock wars
Hi, I have been caught up in a sock war where users are unable to create accounts. The site that is hard blocked I am unable to edit from I am having to use a proxy to get via the hard blocking which I shouldnt really have to do. Can you please put me on the IP block exempt so that I dont get caught up in this mess because it is really annoying. Stunner2008 (talk) 19:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd highly discourage that, and would in fact recommend this user be blocked for block evasion. The fact that this user is on a proxy immediately after I protected this user's talk page when they swore to start a "sock war" is extremely suspicious. They also accused me of blocking them, which a quick glance at the block log will show is not true, which further implies to me this user isn't who they claim to be. See also this IP, where they tried a similar story to evade his block, and these three others. I'm not blocking myself as I want a sanity check that I'm not going paranoid, but I'm pretty sure this guy is a block evader. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 22:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I like the Simpsons he like's it alittle bit. He LOVES the X-Files I don't much care for it. So again we're two totaly different people.

Hi Netsnipe, this school you blocked is also an open proxy (port 8080). Would you consider extending the block (or at least hardblocking) or do you think your one year block is good enough? Spellcast (talk) 21:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Longer blocks
Hmmm. I hate blocking school IPs because for every Is Gay Lulz moron, there are x good kids who want to add important stuff about Bart Simpson :-) I tend to block short on schools because (unlike vandal kid in bedroom on their IP) in half an hour or an hour their IT lesson will be over and they'll be outta there. And generally my motto with the tools is to err on the side of benevolence. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. Cheers --Dweller (talk) 15:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

HellofaDeal
Thanks for blocking; as you can see, he's got issues with both myself and MrSchimpf. It's GSNGuy, as you know, and according to his talkpage User talk:HellofaDeal he has "fuckin passworded" someone by the name of "Netsippe"--I'm assuming that's you? So evidently you're now on his buddy list as well. :) Just thought I'd pass it on, so you have a chance to protect his talkpage if you feel it's needed. Thanks!

On 3RR
Just saw that you unblocked StewieGriffin!, saying that "WP:3RR applies to articles, not one's own RFA". That's wrong; 3RR applies everywhere. Three-revert rule doesn't list any particular namespace aside from User: as being exempt from 3RR.

Note that I'm not contesting the unblock. I'm just saying that your provided rationale isn't accurate, and dropping you a line. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 19:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I knew that Netsnipe's rationale wasn't entirely correct and knew of this as I wrote the 3RR admin guide ;-) - I believed, from a look at the RfA's history, that he was edit warring, but realise that there was a consensus against the block - so fair enough. :-) Scarian   Call me Pat!  20:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for retracting User:Thingg's warnings
I have just left a snooty note on Thingg's User talk... was really annoyed that someone who has just joined was telling me I was vandalising a page.

Thanks for seeing common sense. I'll bring it up in Categories for Discussion as you advise, although I assume the obvious solution would be to rename the category "WAGs (Wives And Girlfriends)".Tris2000 (talk) 17:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Edit Block
I was wondering if you could lift the block imposed on me in March 2008, as I can edit away by disabling Google Web Accelerator and my edits have been constructive. Respond to me on Portsmouth F.C..

 * What block are you referring to exactly? en:User:Lansdowneroad doesn't exist, and as you mention yourself, you have no problem editing Wikipedia once you disable Google Web Accelerator. This type of block isn't targeted at you or anyone in particular but at the Google service itself. It's meant to force you to disable it as a preventative measure to protect Wikipedia from anonymous vandals and spammers. --  Netsnipe   ►  01:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

BLOCKED IP????
Hi, this isn't a major concern of mine, but I am just wonderring why my IP address has been blocked. When I go to edit Wikipedia pages directly, without logging in to my Wikipedia account, I get a message saying: "You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia. You can still read pages, but cannot edit, change, or create them. Editing from 81.153.64.0/18 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Netsnipe for the following reason(s):" Can you please tell me why this is, as I have only just noticed this, and also do not know why you would have blocked it as as far as I am aware not vandalism or problems have been caused by this IP address on Wikipedia. I am just a casual user who occasionally edits or creates wikipedia pages / articles in my free time, and I do not have any malicious intent towards Wikipedia or any other site for that matter.

Can you please contact me via my talk page as to why this block may have been imposed on my IP address, and can you please remove this block as you can see that I have no malicious intent and have not vandalised Wikipedia before. I have better things to do with my time than **** up someone else's (or my own) hard work on this site.

 * This is affecting me too: I normally log in, but occasionally it's handy to make a very quick edit, and I now can't do that. It's particularly annoying that the message says "...has been disabled by Netsnipe for the following reason(s):" but then doesn't give a reason! The block is in place until March, and with a block of that length especially, it would be good to have a reason given. Loganberry (Talk) 00:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Block of Aaroncrick
Greetings. I had send me an email. His concern is that he was falsely accused of sockpuppetry. What were the diffs you saw that prompted you to block him? I'm not seeing the similarities, but I may just be overlooking them. Thank you. — C.Fred (talk) 16:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

External link question in work at home parent article
Hi Netsnipe,

I was wondering if te link to http://www.thewahmmagazine.com can be added. I updated the entry to include other WAHP jobs as well as information about the digital magazine that's dedicated to WAHPs. But, since I own the site, I didn't place a link to it as per Wikipedia guidelines. I think that it should probably go in the reference section after the phrase "digital magazine for work at home parents" rather than as a direct link. It could also go to reviews of the magazine, but I'm not sure which would make more sense.

Thanks! (Great entry by the way.) Cheers,

Since of blocking MHLU, he now has to borrow my account. It's not really his fault of doing the stuff of making him blocked for 2 weeks. He was away when this happened.

Thank you. AHLU (talk) 23:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Netsnipe, since MHLU has been blocked, I have been forbiden to use Wikipedia. Sorry for that notice you given me. I can't read messages very often. Bye. AHLU (talk) 00:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, I also have things more important than this. It is very unclear that I will be leaving for 20 weeks. Sorry. AHLU (talk) 00:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Netsnipe, all of the vandalism from our IPs is are friends. They don't behave when we're away. I'm leaving after a edit on my brother's user pages. Bye! AHLU (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Why is my brother is blocked from editing talk page?
