Re: Revdelete request

Done. I was in the process of doing so. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Your User page is the most awesome potential copyright violation EVER!

See the header :) ... Sven Manguard Talk 07:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Uhh... No it's not. I'ts not a copyvio to use HTML to replicate an iPod.touch. There are pictures of iPods all over the Internet, that aren't copyvios. Plus, it doesnt look much like an iPod when vandals/socks are writing "THIS IS ZSFGSEG YAY THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ME ON SLASHDOT" (or whatever he said) all over it. ;) Access Denied – talk to me 07:10, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
I said potential becuase I don't know copyright from my left foot (okay not that bad, but still) I understand your frustration from the vandalism (my user page is indef semi-protected) but please see that as a compliment and accept it as such. It was a compliment. I think it's awesome. I'm going to ignore this whole thing because of the external pressures and continue to give you compliments when they are waranted, but try not to chase off your fans. :( Sven Manguard Talk 06:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Yes, should've figured that out, but it was about 12:00 at night when I replied to that. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :-) Access Denied – talk to me 06:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
No worries. Sven Manguard Talk 19:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Seriously?

Wow. Someone is out to annoy you... -14K characters on my watchlist, plus religious ...speech... in the edit summary. Your talk is semiprotected but not your main page. I'm confizzled. Good job with the vandalism fighting though. If you're ticking people off like this, it's a sign that you're doing something right. Sven Manguard Talk 19:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank for the compliment! And wow... Those vandals will do ANYTHING to annoy people. (I can take all the fuck you'd they throw out at me but when they mention my religion that's too far.) And I'm willing to bet that all these people are either 4chan or socks of you-know-who. But if it doesn't stop I'll have to file a protection request. (and I really am lucky that I've never received a full on 4chan attack) Access Denied – talk to me 19:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
I don't 'know who', and I can tell you that 4chan really has no game compared to what I've been through, i.e. being an unambiguous nerd in a rather unenlightened high school. Petty fools thinking that the world cares about the size of their EPs pale in comparison to someone who can do physical damage. If they have to pick on you because of your religion, well that's just sad, isn't it. We should talk in IRC once, I have some great stories. Sven Manguard Talk 23:41, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Userpage

Lol (FF-only atm); did you think of it yourself or get it from me? ;) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 22:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Got it from you. Probably need to add a GFDL complaint note. PS: yours doen't look right on WebKit. Access Denied – talk to me 22:47, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I'd like something like that. Time to check the site for less than perfect edits. Ta ta! I.P. (talk) 22:49, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Ian, I will do that if you can get your article edits/total edits rate to 30%. Access Denied – talk to me 22:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, need attribution, etc. (for cc-by-sa 3.0) and I know I need to add compatibility for non-FF browsers, but I cba atm. And Ian, I suggest you make mainspace edits make up at least 50% of your total edits before you even start thinking about a new userpage. Messing with code is fun, but writing articles is more fun. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 23:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

WHY do you have to ruin my fun? I.P. (talk) 23:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Because we can. Besides, Wikipedia ain't for fun. Get over it. ǝɥʇM0N0farewell 01:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to wikipedia! Access Denied – talk to me 14:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
AD, can you please tell me how to collapse my Table of Contents? I have a feeling that it's taking up too much space, me having a ton of subjects and all. I.P. (talk) 21:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Will you mentor me? my 2 mentors are gone 4 good I.P. (talk) 03:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Why??

Why did you do this this? S/he is already blocked who gives a crap if their a sock puppet. If they were they would be blocked for that, so since their already blocked, why add a suspected sock puppet template. There might be something I'm missing here, if there is please tell me. Inka888 06:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Let me chime in here; this is helpful to do so that admins and others investigating sockpuppets can track behavioral patterns to help identify future socks. Even if an account is blocked for other, unrelated reasons, it helps to tag them as socks, if it is clear (see WP:DUCK) that they are, since tagging them places them in the relevent sockpuppet category, giving us one location to find all relevent sock accounts. If suspected socks are not tagged, we may never know about them. --Jayron32 06:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Ok, that makes sense. Inka888 18:41, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Drive – Final push

Greetings GOCE Backlog elimination drive participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use CatScan to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – SMasters (talk) 04:10, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Grr... Another autoblock!!!

{{unblock-auto|1=71.189.203.212|2=Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Dkfjb". The reason given for Dkfjb's block is: "Vandalism-only account".|3=Gadfium|4=2187619}}

I'm away for thanksgiving, and it seems like an immature child is vandalizing. Could someone just lift the autoblock, giveme ipblock-exempt for a week, and block the ip for a week? Thanks. Access Denied 16:52, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Done - will remove it when you return home. Kuru (talk) 17:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Access, you might want to ask an oversighter to come by and axe those IP addresses. Let's not give more information to the creeps of the world, aye? Sven Manguard Talk 18:38, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Those aren't my IPs. Nothing for me to worry about. Access Denied 18:43, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Are you picking up autoblocks on the college's account? Admins clearing autoblocks really ought to revdel the editor's IP address as a matter of course. I wonder if I can add that to the instructions. Elen of the Roads (talk) 19:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
That might be a good idea, Elen. @Access Denied, I am looking at your permissions and it shows you as IP-Block-exempt since May. Why is this not working? --Diannaa (Talk) 22:04, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Access Denied 22:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Ok I see now what I did wrong. I looked at this chart http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:ListUsers/ipblock-exempt which showed you had the permission, but I must have looked at it after the change was made at 17:23. The chart I checkd actually shows all your permissions, no matter what date they were assigned. So the one you used is a better source of information. Thanks --Diannaa (Talk) 22:27, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Dianna, Kuru only changed AD's rights to IP Block Exempt at teatime today. He should not get any more problems with autoblocks from now on. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:26, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Si. Sorry, I did not notice the follow up conversation until just now. For editors like AD who find themselves using a frequently disrupted shared IP, I'd rather use IPBE than chase down every autoblock. Less frustration for all. I didn't see any reason to revdel the revealed IP since it was indicated it would only be used for a short time. Certainly, if he requested it, or it if it was too revealing (say, a corporate IP), I'd have no problems with hiding the edit. This should be covered at this point. Kuru (talk) 23:12, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Who is vandalizing in your household? Is it your brother? HeyMid (contributions) 17:21, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
    • Heymid, it's an IP pool, the last person to use it could have been miles away, or depending oh how the ISP operates, in another state entirely. Based on my knowledge of Access Denied, the vandal was not him, it was some other Verizon internet customer... or a bear. (Well, the map puts the owner of that IP in a public park in Malibu...) Verizon isn't well regarded on Wikipedia, as far as I can tell, because they host some pretty disruptive vandals and are decidedly uncooperative when we ask the company for help. As a result, I wouldn't be surprised to see large swaths of Verizon IP under various blocks. Sven Manguard Talk 18:10, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
      • Well yes, for Thanksgiving I'm staying down with family in Malibu but certainly not in a public park (they have a house, you know). My normal ISP is Comcast, I have no idea who itmight have been. Might have been my ten year old cousin. Access Denied 18:33, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

As you are either a participant of WikiProject or the October wikification drive or have signed up to participate in the planned December drive, this probably concerns you. Discussions that have been inactive for a couple weeks regarding the December drive have been reactivated, and we would like you to participate in these discussions, and also consider joining the December drive. We have taken upon ourselves a massive workload, encompassing a backlog reaching June 2008 and comprising 0 articles. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors, and also, please invite your friends to join! Please do not reply to this message here. Either reply here, here or here.

November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive Conclusion

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!

We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated.

Stats

GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive graphs
  • 58 people signed up for this drive. Of these, 48 people participated in the drive.
  • Although we did not eliminate the months we planned to (January, February, and March 2009; and August, September, and October 2010), we did reduce the backlog by 627 articles (11.2%), which was over our goal of 10%.
  • 49 awards will go out to 33 of 48 participants. Check out the complete list of barnstar winners here.

Barnstars

If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks.

Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed.

Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!
