Roy Moore sexual misconduct

Hi Coffee, thanks for applying the discretionary sanctions to the Roy Moore sexual misconduct article. I had already applied them under the BLP case authority, but the page must have been moved without the page notice again. I’m fine with your sanctions as well since they are the exact same, but I didn’t know what to do. Yours is likely in a clearer subject area, so it might be worth rescinding mine.

Also, you’re probably interested in the parameter conversation at Template talk:Post-1932 American politics discretionary sanctions page restrictions. If you’re still not back, feel free to ignore this, but thought it best to post. All the best, TonyBallioni (talk) 14:37, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

From Stave one of Dickens A Christmas Carol Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail. So you see even Charles was looking for a reliable source :-) Thank you for your contributions to the 'pedia. ~ MarnetteD|Talk 00:34, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks very much...=

...for your kind words, first of all. They're greatly appreciated.

Thanks also for the alert. I don't think I'll have any trouble - most of what I do in that realm is gnome-related work, anyhow - but give me a shout if you catch anything. I do have a tendency, sometimes, to stumble into something without quite meaning to. :-)

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: I doubt that you will have issues either, being our most prolific contributor in the history of the site! I just always like to make sure all editors/admins/etc are aware of the stuff surrounding certain topics. I'll be sure to let you know if there's any issues, however unlikely that is. Thank you once again for all that you do here. You're someone to look up to! — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 18:04, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

I think your work as an admin is consistent and fair. You work in very contentious areas where most editors prefer to avoid and I can only assume most admins would prefer to avoid. You continue to do so while being targeted by a number of editors. This should either have a chilling effect or just be so tiring that you just quit. But you soldier on. This is very commendable. So for what ever this wiki-flare is worth have a Barnstar. -Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 04:15, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for that Serialjoepsycho! It really means a lot to me that anyone sees what I'm truly trying to do here. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 04:21, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Especially for you...

With a bit of a Spanish accent, here are my two sheets because contrary to what you believe, I believe people here (editors) do care about other people's feelings, and understand the stress and time constraints admins are under, and are very well aware that sometimes sheet happens. If nothing else, I hope I've made you smile. ^{Atsme📞📧} 16:57, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

How you doing?

@Fishlandia: I've noticed you doing some work over on Fannie Lou Hamer, would you want to work together at some point and get it ready for/put it through a Good article nomination? I think more great civil rights leaders like her deserve to be displayed on our main page. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 08:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

I'd love to! I'll be back over there this evening or so. Fishlandia (talk) 12:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

@Fishlandia: Fantastic! I just transferred all of the issues the last GA reviewer identified to Talk:Fannie Lou Hamer/GA workshop, that way we can keep the integrity of the first review and then renominate it. I'm busy with a lot of admin/WMF work too, but I'll be pushing my time towards getting Ms. Hamer's article up to GA status with y'all as much as I can! (Just noticed @A21sauce: is assisting with this article too!! Very glad to have you on board, this is the most activity I've seen on improving a southern civil rights leader's article in my time here! - There's a couple other articles I'm sure y'all would be interested in helping get to GA too, but we'll talk about those later. Either way, great to see you both care about this.) — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 12:41, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your messages!

Thank you for the message related the the US Presidential Election of 2016 article. I had read the notice and wasn't planning to make more than one revert, but thank you anyways! Also thank you for the welcome, it is a bit belated. :) Academic Ninja (talk) 07:20, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

@AcademicNinja: Unfortunately, our recent changes patrollers can get a bit WP:BITEY sometimes, so my apologies for that ... also don't worry about WP:1RR if you're reverting vandalism which this appeared to be. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 07:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

@Coffee: No problem, it's okay! I was just a bit confused when you thanked me for my edit and then I got the notice from you. Also, I didn't consider that vandalism, that could have been a good-faith edit by a user who found wrong information.

Thanks for blocking Nefft24

"I am working for Ashinaga" Ah, how could that slip me? I wasn't quite sure about whether I was right to revert after his message, so I just moved on... Thanks for being WP:BOLD and blocking Nefft24 :) Academic Ninja (talk) 08:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Fannie Lou Hamer

Thanks so much for your enthusiastic help on this. One thing: I found out more about the deaths of one of her daughters, some information about her mother living with her, and the names of her grandchildren so I will re-start a family section towards the end so that it doesn't bog down the beginning.--A21sauce (talk) 19:59, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

@A21sauce: Fantastic!!! I'm very glad to hear that we can expand on her personal life a bit more. This was one amazingly brave woman! Thank for you're help too! You, Fishlandia, and I are going to get this to GA status in no time at all, at this rate! — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 20:12, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

X1\ HughD sock account.

Coffee, I saw that you blocked X1\ as a sock account. As the person who initiated the investigation I'm no longer certain they are the same person. The writing style is different now that I've read more more and appears to include some non English entries. To the best of my knowledge the investigation hasn't been closed. Given the editor came in with a very good understanding of how Wikipedia works I tend to believe there was a previous account but I have no proof of that. Anyway, I feel I had to let you know in good conscience. Springee (talk) 11:28, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@Springee: A CU had requested admin action, noting technical inconclusiveness. However, the clerk (@QEDK: noted that they were behaviorally the same. I took action on that basis, but as you've laid out some decent doubts here I'll recheck the block immediately. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 15:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@Springee: I'm going to need you to be more specific here. I've placed the block on hold, and from what it appears (from my discussions with them) the clerk read the evidence differently, than you are now. Could you provide some diffs, perhaps, which might highlight the differences you see between the accounts? — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 16:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Coffee, if the clerks think the editor is a sock then I will trust them. I'm just not as sure based on the way X1\ replied vs the way known HughD socks replied. Basically I started with a hunch then searched for evidence. I'm now not as certain about the hunch that this is HughD (I still suspect this isn't the editor's first account). Sorry, that is wishy washy. I would deffer to the opinions of the clerks. Should this discussion be moved to the investigation page? Springee (talk) 17:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@Springee: Well for now I'm leaning towards unblocking the account, with this much reasonable doubt appearing to come from you. But part of me is also leaning on waiting for the user to make an unblock request of any form. @TonyBallioni and Black Kite: What are your ideas? — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 17:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

In looking through the previously confirmed socks, I see enough of a difference that I think unblocking makes sense, especially since the clerk appears to be fine with it at this point. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:46, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni, Springee, QEDK, Bbb23, and Black Kite: The block on the account has been  Undone. Thank you all for your help in this matter! — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 18:02, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

List of cinema halls in Thiruvananthapuram

Hi, This is about the recently merged article List of cinema halls in Thiruvananthapuram. The article was merged with Thiruvananthapuram by creating a new section called 'Film Industry'. This doesn't go with the standardized section contents as in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian cities. So I moved the the section to Culture of Thiruvananthapuram, which seemed more appropriate. But as the result of the discussion was to merge to Thiruvananthapuram, is this okay? AG47 ^Talk 14:21, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@AG47: Yes, that should be fine as that is an appropriate sub-page for such a list to reside on. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 16:49, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! AG47 ^Talk 17:10, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Always feel free to talk to me if you have any further questions or concerns! — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 17:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Your list of diffs

OK. Here's some advice. You can ignore it if you wish, but it's given in good faith. You either need to take it off-wiki now, or file a case, because otherwise I strongly suspect it will end badly. You know what WP:POLEMIC says - "The compilation of factual evidence (diffs) in user subpages, for purposes such as preparing for a dispute resolution process, is permitted provided it will be used in a timely manner.". I can't see what it's going to be used for. If you're going to start something at ArbCom, you need to start it now, because the list is snowballing as you're adding diffs which show people reacting to you creating the list, which is never going to fly at any case. With such a wide number of diffs showing various editors making comments about other editors (not always you), it is difficult to see how a coherent case could be made. That's all I've got to say; hope you're OK. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 18:43, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@Black Kite: It was used merely as a way to keep track of evidence I had planned on using in a timely manner. Which is allowed per WP:POLEMIC. They're there mostly because I believe these users will not discontinue their harassment, and therefore like today with Davey2010 (who I reported to BU_Rob13) will have to be used at some point soon. But, you know I've always listened to your input with very open ears, so if you think it's best, I will go ahead and move the list to my offline database. The list, and I'm sure you're aware of this, was not intended as a "hit list" or "enemies list" as many have claimed. I'm merely trying to layer protections against perceived antagonization from multiple users with obvious connections. I believe you understand my intent, and I believe you mean no harm by giving me this advice. I've been mostly trying to focus on expanding Fannie Lou Hamer anyways... this is just a distraction by a bunch of people who enjoy getting a rise out of others. As such, I'll move it. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 18:57, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
