another new user pushing pakistani POV on several articles but has an indian sounding name Rashtra he might be one of our old friends. just wanted to let you know. --Wikireader41 (talk) 14:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Got more...
...and you've got mail. :) NawlinWiki (talk) 18:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S. Please don't forget the email block on these.  NawlinWiki (talk) 18:34, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * ... and still more. (Wish you'd been here sooner.)  Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 06:13, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Only thing I can think of is that he was using one proxy per new account, which is a good way to prevent detection but seems awfully time-consuming. These are definitely JA/Grawp -- there is no doubt about the username pattern.  He spends hours and hours creating these socks -- and he says *we* have no lives?

Hello,. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ( talk→  Bwilkins / BMW   ←track ) 13:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Erin cali account
I note you blocked the User:Erin cali70 account, an account which I have been following, see User talk:Erin cali70, although i didn't see any new discussion at the Jvolkblum checkuser area. Perhaps you are not aware that Erin cali was checked and cleared by checkuser of association with jvolkblum. In some discussion even Orlady conceded that Erin cali appeared not to be Jvolkblum, although new evidence could change her and my opinions. But, I am not aware of new evidence or discussion at Sockpuppet investigations/Jvolkblum or Requests for checkuser/Case/Jvolkblum or elsewhere.

It is not appropriate to block any new user merely for touching New Rochelle area articles.

Could you please reverse the block and/or explain? doncram (talk) 19:55, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for replying. Maybe this is indeed the same person as original Jvolkblum or others caught up in this case;  I don't know enough about the IP addresses and all that to have real perspective on that evidence, although I have objected to fast judgments made solely on the basis that a new editor touched a New Rochelle area article.  As a courtesy to me and/or to this user, would you please Unblock the Talk page of Erin cali70 for the person to be able to respond there?  I understand that out of all the Jvolkblum-labelled accounts, only the Talk:Jvolkblum page is unblocked for the original Jvolkblum to respond or to make any appeal.  I think it is quite likely that this person is different than that original one, and/or does not have the password or access to that account.  I have invested somewhat in trying to assist this Erin cali user, and I would like for the person to be able to respond.  I want to see what Erin has to say to me.  Thanks. doncram (talk) 20:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you've been doing most of the ckeckusering on User:Cukiger, most recently blocked sock User:Passap (9 January). Could you confirm that User:Spand is also him?

Requesting checkuser
&mdash; Caspian blue, Mtd2006 and I think this user might be a Ziggymaster/Manmohit2002/Mayamore sock; is at South Korea repeatedly reverting to an older version, inserting lots of extreme POV, etc. Would you be able to take a look into it if you have a moment?

Help with delete
Hello, My name is John and last night I tried to create an account from my house and it said I was banned Jan 27th until April 27th. I was just hoping you could help me since I have never used wiki before.

It said I (IP 98.231.22.5) was banned by Nishkid64 who gave the reason

I was just hoping you could help me figure this out. Maybe someone was using my internet? I'm not sure, but I was hoping to see the incident that happened. I am sending this from my account I created at school (nflmockdraftaces), but it is in reference to my home IP which is 98.231.22.5

Thanks for your help,

Runtshit
Thank you for confirming my long-standing belief that Zuminous is a sock of Runtshit. Would it be possible to check other puppetmasters who are themselves likely socks --Truthprofessor, Borisyy and Shmuelsheiman? All three of these exhibit the same pattern as Runtshit/Zuminous: frequent creation of throw-away IDs for edit-warring on specific Middle East-related articles (Truthprofessor on Steven Plaut, Borisyy and Shmuelsheiman on Neve Gordon; defamation and possibly libellous edits; similar tone and language; use of the same unreliable right-wing sources.

I have no doubt that these are all the same person; it would be useful to confirm this. It would also be interesting to check if any of these also made edits using a University of Haifa IP; following the earlier checkuser, both Avruch and I wrote to the IT department there; but neither of us has received any response. If their network is indeed being used for vandalism and defamation, there must be some way we can oblige them to take action on this.

This vandal's disruptive activity has been going on for far too long, and is harming Wikipedia; I hope you can help put a stop to this. RolandR (talk) 10:10, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations/Brexx
Hi!

Thanks for completing the CU request in the above case. Would you be willing to run a check on without me re-filing the case at SPI? Countrywomangirl's account was created several hours after Fidodidoman was blocked and all of Countrywomangirl's edits are on the same articles edited by Fidodidoman immediately before he was blocked. In addition, the MO and the writing style are a match.

Please let me know if you can confirm this or if you would prefer that I re-file at SPI.

Economics portal
I saw you are the major contributor to the Econ Portal ! or maybe just to the selected feature article. I was going to suggest that Bernard Madoff be put up as the featured article in time for his presumed guilty pleas on Thursday, March 12. But it seems another Keynes article was chosen this month.

BTW, I saw these on Wikinews and was wondering whether they could be made to work on the portal?

Who actually runs the portal anyway?

Any help appreciated.

Smallbones (talk) 20:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not really a major contributor as the editor who usually runs the portal is Nishkid64. I have transcribed your post to his talkpage for his information. Madoff is indeed a good choice for featured article, which is why I added Charles Ponzi to the portal last month. Please feel free to make any changes that you wish. As regards the templates, maybe you could ask the editor who designed them for Wikinews if he might consider creating them for Wikipedia. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 22:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Need help
could you look over my new article Islamic Extremism among British Pakistanis and help improve it. I think it meets all wikipedia guidelines. could you edit it some or make some suggestions for improvement. Thanx.--Wikireader41 (talk) 23:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * thanx for your comments. though I do strongly feel that the title Islamic Extremism among British Pakistanis refers to a notable and verifiable phenomenon which deserves inclusion in wikipedia.  Not only that it has obvious security implications for those of us who live in the US of A so much so that state dept has been trying to get British Pakistanis to get a visa b4 flying to the states.  I have added several more references from credible news sources.  let us see what happens. cheers;-)--Wikireader41 (talk) 03:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Another technical question. this article does have 'under construction' tag and I believe was tagged for speedy deletion in bad faith by a Pakistan associated editor.  He was duly admonished by another administrator for this.  i was reading Deletion of pages under construction.  it is my intention to work on this article and have this article be fully compliant with all wikipedia policies.  it seems this would necessitate withdrawal of nomination for deletion ? is that true if so what is the procedure.  thanx a lot--Wikireader41 (talk) 17:51, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
