 Mr. R00t   Talk  00:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC) Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * My main contributions here on Wikipedia involve copious quantities of Igloo and WP:ITN. I've got rollback and reviewer on Wikipedia and use them a lot. No blocks or sanctions.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * As I said, I have rollback and reviewer permissions. I use Igloo by Ale jrb to find things to use rollback on. I no what is and what is not vandalism well and always warn people I revert (thanks to Igloo).
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I want to join the abuse response project because I pretty much already do a lot of it. Whenever an IP I've been reverting gets blocked I pull up a fairly intensive WhoIs report on some sites. I do this so that I can make sure it isn't any of my friends who might think that vandalizing would be funny. I have access to phone, email, and text that I can use to contact anybody if need be. I'm willing to provide the phone number if needed.

The Test

Alright r00t. I'm neutral, but I'm going to go ahead and give you a small test.

For the following 2 IP addresses, please tell me who the ISP or company is, and who you would contact regarding long term abuse from these addresses (Include Contact Name, Email, and Phone number):


 * 65.29.100.140
 * 178.100.207.39

Post up your answers, and we'll go from there!  ANowlin talk  03:56, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll start right now.  Mr. R00t    Talk  15:17, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Answers: Thanks, I hope that was what you needed.  Mr. R00t   Talk  15:17, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

So does this mean that I'm a member of the Abuse Response team or are we waiting for other people's approval?  Mr. R00t   Talk  16:24, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes Phearson (talk) 18:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Answers are correct.  ANowlin talk  01:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments
 * Hi Mr. R00t and thank you for your interest in this project. I think that I speak representatively here when I say that while your contributions have been largely positive and while you seem to grasp the technical requirements to contribute here, because you only began contributing since May, I'm concerned that your editing history just isn't sufficient for me to be comfortable offering support at this time.  Unfortunately as for me I must therefore very weakly oppose.  I would most definitely welcome your re-nominination in a few more month's time.  Cheers, and thanks again.     Thorncrag    19:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Mr. R00t I would like to support Thorncrag's observations. I also feel you would be a good contributor to this project. I hope you do re-apply in a few. Cheers Mlpearc   powwow  21:20, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Additional Questions
 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * ''Hi, I mainly work in anti-vadalism, new page patrol and recently account creation. I also some times work on clearing backlogs. I occasionally dabble in AfD.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * I do quite a bit to prevent vandalism. I use huggle and twinkle to revert any vandalism I see. I also warn them of their edits which constitute vandalism. If the offenders continue to vandalise after the final warning then I report them at AIAV.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I want to join the team to help clear Wikipedia of vandals who will not stop. I also would like to join so that I can help rid Wikipedia of long time vandals.

 * 1) Hi Bobby122 and welcome! Could you please tell us, to whom would you send an abuse report for this IP address: 12.130.11.180?   Thorncrag    03:07, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure I would send it to this email abuse@att.net. The abuse handle would be ATTAB-ARIN and the name would be ATT abuse. You could also use their phone number to report abuse which is 1-919-319-8130. Summarizing you would send it to ATT abuse at abuse@att.net. Bobby122   Contact Me   (C)  11:22, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you take a look at the info on responsible organizations and take another stab? :-)   Thorncrag    03:44, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure no problem, I think I get it now. You would sent it to the corportation at Handle: NETWO10-ARIN Name:  Network Provisioning Phone:  +1-800-876-2373 Email:  iptool@attens.com  Bobby122   Contact Me   (C)  13:28, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Comments
 * Support. Good character, willing to learn, excellent contribution history. :-)    Thorncrag    20:35, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Did good on the question Thorncrag asked (which nobody gets it right the first go anyway! :P). Reviewer, Rollbacker, and a decent contribution history.  Apparent willingness to support WP:ABUSE and WP:LTA.  No red flags that I can see.  Not checked block log, but assuming clean due to account age and flags.

Questions


 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * I usually patrol the pages with pending changes, recent changes, and at some points the user creation log. So I guess that would mean my main contributions are tracking vandalism, and doing the right things to the vandal.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * My experience is warning people, reporting people for vandalism, and some various things! I like to use Twinkle, and I have rollback and reviewer rights.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I think it'd be better for finding people who vandalize, and letting them realize it's wrong.

Additional Questions Answer to #1: Well, I've realized you should think on something before you act. When I applied a month ago, I really didn't think way too much about what I did on Wikipedia. Now I'm more "mature" on Wikipedia. Endofskull (talk) 16:51, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) What has changed since your last request a month ago? Netalarm talk 03:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Who would I contact to report abuse from 78.239.178.139? Netalarm talk 03:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Answer to #2: Alright, you could send it to abuse@proxad.net. Their phone number is 1.73.50.20.00, but if you're calling from anywhere outside of France, you'd dial: (33) 1.73.50.20.00. Endofskull (talk) 20:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Comments
 * I'm afraid not. 30 days != "a few months", nor does 30 days likely provide the maturity for fully understanding Wikipedia policies. Sorry. Also, Abuse response is not for "eliminating people".    Thorncrag    20:28, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Woah. I just realized how bad "eliminate" sounds. Yeah, I worded that bad. Sorry, I meant to say it more like this: "I think it'd be better for finding people who vandalize, and letting them realize it's wrong." Is that better? Oh yeah, Thorncrag, sorry to sound rude, but it seems like you're not giving me a chance to show how I've changed from a month ago. So could you just ask me some questions, and see how I do, please? Endofskull (talk) 20:32, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You are correct in one way, I'm not giving you that chance but that's nothing personal, it's just that your comments and behavior is not itself demonstrating an understanding what this project is all about; further, a contributor of two months just really cannot grok all of Wikipedia policies... I've been on Wikipedia for many, many years and I still do not have a perfectly rounded understanding of all of the policies and guidelines. Cheers,    Thorncrag    22:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I see what you're saying. You know, maybe I did imply that I think I know all of the policies. But what I'm saying is that I've got better understanding of them, and try harder to follow them. But no one's perfect. That being said, I'd really like it if you were to ask me some questions. :) Endofskull (talk) 23:41, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I just want to say, thank you for all of your comments! Give me questions if you want. I can accept the fact that I'm denied, since I probably shouldn't have applied until I can completely read and understand a WHOIS report. Endofskull (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not now if you don't even know how to read a Whois report, you'd have trouble understanding how to contact the ISPs. Pilif12p :  Yarr 00:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No (again) per why I said no previously. <font color="#990000"> <font color="#990000">ANowlin <font color="#990000">talk  04:45, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not at this time July + 6 months = December. 6 months is out there because of needed trust between members when filing/dealing with reports. -- DQ  (t)  (e)  12:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * I mainly battle vandalism on WP, I am an active helpdesk-monitor, I particulate in the account creation process, although editing wise, I edit when it is project related, or really if I feel I can help in the subject.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * My experience spans what I have done over the past month really, but my technical background, and well-roundedness, I feel I have made a bent in vandalism on Wikipedia; with my AIV's (either manual or automated), requests for check users (on WP, and on ACC), amongst other things.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I would like to help with the constant threat of vandals, in any way I can. Vandals, are what make some people think WP is unusable, and we can't have that. I would like to help find means of blocking them, either here, or by contacting the right people. I also believe my background and training in telecommunications and network administration, plus my general knowledge of Unix based systems and various networking web-based tools would help me file reports and help wiki become safer for all
 * 1) What do you think of the recommended background for abuse response members requesting at least 6 months of contribs? --  DQ (t) (e)   16:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe in most cases it is a good rule, but I believe that exceptions can be made, and I feel my background can help. Also, my contribs may of jumped recently, but I have had my account since 2007. -- Wolfnix •  Talk  • 16:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Greetings! Could you please tell me, to whom would you send a report for this IP address? 12.130.11.180   Thorncrag    01:22, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Good Evening. I see from the get go you have given me an ip from the ATT legacy IP range. 12.*.*.* was assigned to ATT back the in the 80's. Although, after looking at the ip's whois information, 12.130.11.160/27, has been reallocated to TD Bank North(TD Bank). Even with this in mind, I would send it to the ATT enterprise contact , in most other cases where IP's are reallocated or in most cases directly allocated, they may deal with abuse themselves. I hope this answers your question. -- Wolfnix •  Talk  • 01:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Let me state that, TD Bank has no information regarding abuse in there record, it redirects to ATT Enterprise. Otherwise, I would contact TD Bank directly -- Wolfnix •  Talk  • 01:52, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have been informed the address would be, although it is not listed in *this* ip range's record. -- Wolfnix •  Talk  • 02:19, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is. Next time, try a proper lookup with ARIN searching for that specific IP.  In the report, below the main range, will be the more specific range.  Look in there, and you will see the proper contact. <font color="#990000"> <font color="#990000">ANowlin  <font color="#990000">talk  00:58, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestions, and help; I am one who is open, and learns quickly. I just wanted to make it clear though, that when doing an whois on *this* ip address, and then doing a whois on the net block, the only non-physical contact information is for ATT. I do understand the responsible of the organization for there ip range, I did the research properly, but I was under the impression this exercise was for reading whois reports, not inferencing an abuse address. I only placed the extra comments, per an IRC conversation on the subject. REF: Domain Tools whois ARIN Direct Whois ARIN Customer File -- Wolfnix •  Talk  • 05:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * Hey. I write stuff, clerk stuff, help stuff, etc. I've done a stint as User:Dripping Flame, my vandalism control account. Been blocked about 1 year ago... 15000 edits.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * As I mentioned, I've done work as DF and on this account; around 75 edits to AIV.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I'd like to get behind the thoughts of persistent vandals, and their motivations. I'd like to devise some new methods for dealing with them.
 * 1) I see that your edit count has been lowing recently, and sometimes we can get flooded with cases. Is your activity lowering or is it lack of interest in other wikipedia works? -- DQ  (t)  (e)  16:47, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Incomprehensibly Strong Oppose Sign up as one nick, use others to answer the questions (Hmmm, SPI)? You don't disclose prior blocks, commonly steal userpages, are bared from WP:ACC and -en-help on IRC, as well as are bared in other channels. <font color="#990000"> <font color="#990000">ANowlin  <font color="#990000">talk  00:38, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Prior blocks: yes, 1 year ago, wonderful: did you check why?; commonly stealing userpages: relevant how? (note: look at your Chzz's talkpage Face-tongue.svg); not "barred" from ACC: account is suspended; no, I am not "barred" from -en-help either, nor any other channel except -en-accounts.
 * You are blocked from -en-ambassadors, and -en-publicpolicy as well. And what do you mean by " your Chzz's talkpage Face-tongue.svg)"? If you would look, I've used the same TalkPage layout since I created my new account, which was before I even met Chzz.  So, if you want to accuse me of theft, then you sir, should get your facts straight first.  As for -en-help, you are apparently no longer BKoS (BanKick on Sight), so apologies for that.  At last check, you are not welcome back at WP:ACC, esentialy barred. <font color="#990000"> <font color="#990000">ANowlin  <font color="#990000">talk  01:17, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, yes, the ACC people hate me. Technically, it's ok to steal stuff onwiki as long as it is properly attributed. I suppose I am banned on -en-publicpolicy due to the same non-reason as -en-ambassadors, which you recently removed. I'm not going to make this a debate here, so if you want to argue about whether I am banned on this channel or that, go somewhere else. <font face="Century Gothic"> THENEW M O  NO   02:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * My primary contributions thus far have been to the DragonFable, AdventureQuest, John Woodland Hastings (a hook from this article was featured on the DYK section of the Main Page), Benjamin Franklin and George Washington articles, the latter which I nominated for GA twice (failed both times but quality improved significantly) in terms of Benjamin Franklin I didn't do much, I discussed suspected contradictions which I dismissed but were later reinstated, 1 contradiction had been removed as the information was irrelevant the other I'm not sure of what happened as there has been no discussion since.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * I've been a rollbacker since July 2010, due to technical restrictions on my laptop I've been unable to use Huggle and as such I've been using Lupin's anti-vandal tools since early October.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * This is my second nomination, I feel that between now and my prior nomination that I've grown in experience, I know the way Wikipedia works and I have a solid knowledge of most of Wikipedia's core Policies and Guidelines, since late-August I've been focusing more on article edits rather than user and user talk space edits which amount to over 50% of my contributions, I have been an active participant in Village Pump discussions, having submitted 2 proposals, one in relation to bundled user rights and the other about decentralisation of the power vested upon the Arbitration Committee. I always look to expand my horizons, never sticking to one aspect of Wikipedia.

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * I revert vandlism on Huggle and have reported several usernames for breaching the policy, I also flag pages for CSD or newpage patrol when I am at school and can not access huggle. I am also in the IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help and respond to help requests when I can and just help out anywhere I can.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * After being given rollback rights from Jamesofur after a request from chzz (here) which I didnt know about until i checked my talk page, I have used Huggle to revert vandlism edits. Some of which can be humerous, I have tried AWB but it did not make much sence and when I get stuck, I usualy use, speak to someone more experanced or ask in IRC channels.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * When reverting I see vandels who ignore the warnings and last for quite a while adding in the same type of vandlism into pages and then when they are blocked they come back and do it again. I have said in that some admins are needed online to block thoes vandels.

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * My primary contributions are with automated tools that I use to fight vandalism. Occasionally (I've done two) I'll do a GA review. I'm thinking about nominating a few GA in the near future. I've also begun to do New Page patrol again.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * As I just said I mostly revert vandalism.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * Prolific IP vandals are extremely annoying since we don't usually indef block IPs. This means that while someone is obviously a vandal only IP we still allow them to edit. Most admins won't indef an IP in case it is a proxy.

Comments
 * I'm afraid I'm going to have to oppose again. I have serious concerns over quality (versus quantity) of contributions, particularly deletion tagging error-rate, automated tool and revert mistakes.  This might demonstrate you are trying to take on too much too soon.  Also raises concerns about hat collection.  I would suggest brushing up a bit on a wider breadth of Wikipedia policies for a time.  Cheers,   Thorncrag  03:04, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I can see why you would (mistakenly) think I was collecting hats. I don't quite understand what you have against the quality of my edits. I really don't make to many errors with CSD tagging or reverts. Sure I'll occasionally revert something accidentally that I shouldn't have. That is extremely easy to do when using automated scripts. Please expand on what you mean by "brushing up on a bit of the wider breadth of Wikipedia policies" on my User talk page.  Mr. R00t    Talk  23:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * r00t is a very knowledgeable user and I think it'd be beneficial to have him join the project, the answers from his previous nomination were correct. The concerns Thorncrag raises should be taken on board, but I believe that his joining the project would be a net positive. So I support his nomination. —  Ancient Apparition •  Champagne?  • 12:38pm • 01:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Cautious Oppose - Taking in to account that 1234r00t has been increasingly active in ACC I think it would be best to concentrate in one area. You're getting a foot hold in ACC, I would get more at ease with working request there and then branch out. Mlpearc   powwow  03:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * I mainly help fight vandalism on WP with good ol' Huggle. Any issues arising from this are sorted very quicky (as I always respond to posts on my talk page, esp. if they are about the reverts).
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * As above, however before gaining rollbacker, I used the undo and save method to revert.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * There seems to be a mini backlog of requests, I'm presuming that it's because the team is not very active. Hence why I am nominating myself, to get rid of this backlog and to overall help the WP community by putting vandals "in their place" (per se)

Comments
 * Question Hi, can you please tell me who the registered owner is for the following three IPs:

Thanks :) Acather96 (talk) 18:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 83.250.25.131
 * 76.190.140.144
 * and 81.154.48.82
 * Hi, owners are as follows (information found from Domain Tools and Tracr
 * 83.250.25.131 is owned by Com Hem who are a Swedish ISP with their registered office at Com Hem AB, Visiting: Fleminggatan 18, P.O. Box 8093, SE-104 20 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.
 * 76.190.140.144 is owned by Road Runner in the USA, tracr shows Cleveland, Ohio as the location of that IP.
 * 81.154.48.82 is owned by British Telecom in the UK, tracr shows Bedford in the UK as the location. (EDIT: Upon taking a look at your user page, Acather96, I'm going to take the presumption that this is your IP)
 * Hope that's what you needed :)

 * All looks good to me, no blocks, talk page shows good interaction with other users, experienced with vandalism related areas of work so support Acather96 (talk) 08:46, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry for taking so long to respond, I should be able to post something later today. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  12:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No worrys DQ, no worrys - <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">Rich (MTCD) Talk Page 20:49, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Now that it's been three days, I will take a look at your edits :P -- DQ  (t)   (e)  15:17, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, so my review shows that you registered less than six months ago, but also that you have 99% of your contribs vandalism related. Well this is a good thing, it would be better to see some interaction with other users since abuse response is all about communication with the ISP. I'm not sure where I stand on this right now, so I will come back with some questions of my own soon enough. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  19:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, so when would you accept a report and when would you decline (both official/unofficial)? (I think this will satisfy me. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  00:34, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Answer Following the handbook, I would accept a report after checking that the user being reported has been blocked a minimum of five (5) times using the Block Log, then I would check to see if the latest block (or evidence of vandalism) was recent and see if there is one block of over 1 year.
 * The report would be rejected if there is no recent actions from the account/IP and/or no blocks are currently on the account/IP or the acceptant criteria above are not met. - <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">Rich (MTCD) Talk Page 01:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good answers and with no more comments from other users...✅. At this time, I need you to register for our mailing list, and it would be awesome if we could see you on . I am updating the documentation so everyone knows how to contact, and I am also building an interface for us. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  03:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * My main contributions are with the ACC so I am familiar with working with IP addresses and checking them for registrations for Username Violations and all other checks that go on. I also worked with AfC and ran checks there so I could understand to see if an IP was trying to make an article about themselves. I have worked on Augustus Nathaniel Lushington but mainly work with the technical site of Wikipedia. i also have been a long time vandal fighter so I know what it is like to have people with IPs making numerous vandal edits.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * I run checks for ACC on IP addresses for username violations and also have, as stated above, ran checks at AfC to see if a company was attempting to create an article for themselves.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I hope to prevent further IP vandalism on Wikipedia so our dedicated vandal fighters don't have to do so much work. I also would like to let the ISPs know when a client is doing harm in large quantities so possibly then can trace them and maybe find out other facts about them such as if they are a hacker or a zombie computer.

Comments In what circumstances would you accept a case or decline a case? Is there any special cases? Also could you do a whois for 69.31.70.54 and tell me the contact and any other relevant information? -- DQ  (t)   (e)  22:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I would accept a case if it was...

I would mark as stale if... With the stale, I mark them as declined, if they do not meet the above criteria, they are declined and sent to rejected. There are no special cases that I am aware of. For the IP 69.31.70.54 it belongs to NLAYER COMMUNICATIONS and I would contact abuse@nlayer.net and provide a report of the abuse. I would then await a response and if I got a "personalized" one, would forward it to the mailing list. Please make me aware of any special cases or anything I may have missed.  JoeGazz  ▲ 22:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The reported IP(s) have been blocked 5 times or more.
 * There is abuse that is coming from the IP when it is reported.
 * One block has to be ≥ 1 year.
 * All IPs are with same ISP.
 * The IP has been warned multiple times.
 * They are indeed the abuser.
 * The IP is subject to a block currently
 * The IP has had no activity in 5 months or more.


 * Actually you probally won't get a response because it's a proxy for AnchorFree. Otherwise is sounds good. One thing to note, please always CC the mail list in anything you send. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  22:49, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, that last part was mainly a general statement. I will do on the email thing though.  JoeGazz  ▲ 22:51, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Are you sure your "plate" isn't getting too full ?  Mlpearc   powwow  23:21, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I am sure, I have thought about that and am dropping off some things for the time being so I can experience this, another aspect of wikipedia.  JoeGazz  ▲ 23:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
