User talk:Can't sleep, clown will eat me/Archive 3

This is an archive of past discussions about User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

Advice?

I am writing because I have seen some of your edits in the past on articles I've edited and your admin actions as well, so I thought you might be able to give me some advice on how to proceed on something.

I won't try to argue the merits of my case, or even mention which article it concerns. I am just looking for advice on what steps to take.

I have had a longstanding dispute with a community on a historical article. This is an article whose editors are largely made up of the ethnic origin that the page covers. (This is clear from their user pages and edit histories, it's not just intuition.) This results, in my opinion, in a general leaning toward portraying the subject other than with a neutral point of view. One piece of information is frequently pushed which is quite misleading and is positioned in a very prominent place, leading casual viewers to get a misleading perception of the subject. (I don't want to get more specific.) The page has been locked on several occasions for edit warring (of which I readily admit I am guilty.) I more recently tried to get the mediation cabal to look at it, in the hopes that they would and their opinion might create a status quo, but the cabal said no, as they feel it's unlikely that their opinion would be binding.

I asked a fairly well known and highly placed editor what to do, and in his opinion I should just let it go, as there are mutiple users out to push this particular point of view in this article, and on the other side there is me. He said that it doesn't matter if the consensus is groupthink or in fact represents a "closed system," if you will, rather than a consensus arrived at by people with diverse views. I don't want to drag him into this, so I thought I'd ask another experienced admin.

Is this in fact true? I see this as being a "2 + 2 = 5" situation -- something about which consensus should not really matter, as wrong is wrong. Do you agree? And if so, where do I take it from here? Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance. Larry Dunn (talk) 20:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

6 month block

Hi. Could you please explain why you felt that this IP address should be blocked for 6 months? On the face of it there seems to only be a handful of edits from the address over the past couple of years and only a few of them are disruptive, but I am sure there is probably more to it than I can see from the contributions. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 07:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Same question with this IP. You blocked them at the same time, were they related? TigerShark (talk) 08:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

See section "Recent blocks" above. This is a long standing problem with CSCWEM. - auburnpilot talk 13:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I would still like to hear his reasoning, as there could possibly be facts that we don't know, suspected sockpuppetry for example. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see this post to ANI. You input would be appreciated. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 20:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your blocks

Obviously, we are all volunteers and any service to Wikipedia is appreciated. However, use of the administrative tools requires a willingness to explain your actions, particularly controversial ones. I have randomly flipped through your blocks and found several very questionable ones since your last edit on March 31. I would ask, as have others above, that you be willing to discuss your administrative actions. Wikipedia:BP#Reasons_and_notification states, "Administrators should also notify users when blocking them by leaving a message on their user talk page unless they have a good reason not to. It is often easier to explain the reason for a block at the time than it is to explain a block well after the fact." Accordingly, if you continue to issue blocks without notifying the user on their talk page or explaining your actions here to users who ask, I will block your account. --B (talk) 02:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Also FYI you have been brought up in an AN/I discussion about this. I suggest you respond to it to avoid any future drama. VegaDark (talk) 07:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone considered the possibility that perhaps he went to sleep, the clown ate him, and it is in fact the clown that is now doing the blocking? xenocidic (talk) 19:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I think we wait now, just dont make any more unreasonable blocks, or consensus seems to be to open an ArcCom case to maybe get you desysopped, just a friendly warning...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 21:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

After viewing the long articles that the rock bands Tool, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Guns N' Roses I feel that all of them need to be semi-protected, so that only established users can edit them.

Blocking users

Hi there. Please notify the blockee using the {{uw-block}} templates. For anonblocks, please add {{anonblock}} to the talk page. This is for common courtesy, but also let's the blockee know that they cannot edit, which is especially important for anonblocks.

Reminder about T-Pain

You are receiving this message because you are listed as the protecting admin for T-Pain. The page has been semiprotected for longer than 2 months without an expiry date set. Because Wikipedia relies on contributers to make the encyclopedia, I'm asking you to review your decision and either

Unprotect the page if protection is no longer needed, or
set a reasonable expiry date for the protection instead of leaving it on forever

I hope that you will do one of the two in order to reduce the backlog of pages that have been semiprotected for very long period of time. Thank you. -Royalguard11(T) 19:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC) Why am I receiving this message?

Arbitrator comment

Hi,

I'd have emailed this note, but as others have commented, email is disabled.

Obviously this is in furtherance of the concerns others have brought to RFAR. I've taken a look, and note three things - a highly productive history of a good editor and admin on Wikipedia, lack of contact/email, and also (last 2 weeks) lack of blocks issued. My impression is you're on some kind of break, and haven't used that tool a while, in which case, enjoy and have fun!

Can you just make sure that if/as/when you do return to block a problem editor, you'll be able to respond well to any block discussion and unblock requests by others, and maybe also drop a note here in reply to confirm that's all taken care of, or just let people know what the status quo is, and if all's okay. It matters :-)

The other thing is, email per se isn't the important thing, so much as communication. Right now no blocking is going on, so it's not at issue. It's the combination of no activity except blocking, and no email/no posts to any user/no communication, and around 100 blocks, that's a concern. In some of those 100 blocks, surely there was a wish to communicate by some user or admin. If possible, please ensure the communication concerns of other editors (if any) would be addressed quickly, or at any rate, for sure before using admin tools such as blocking again. If you're taking a break, and switched email off to not be disturbed, and won't be using them a while, feel free to let others know, it's fine :)

The only thing is please, only use blocking if there'll be good communication and responsiveness. The tools aren't being touched by stewards (even without communication) simply because there's been no blocking activity for some 2 weeks - all's fine. But the two go together, the tools need communication and responses.

When you get a chance, please let other users know it's fixed and will be okay, before resuming use of these tools. If you don't then the bit will likely be temporarily removed purely until communication's resolved, and - it should be added - without at that point being "under a cloud" at all. But the tools need good care and part of that has got to be responsiveness if they're going to be used.

Apologies for this, and if you need to, or need any help at all whatsoever, please do email me (or arbcom-l) without hesitation, and we'll sort it out more fully that way.

If all is in fact okay and it's all good, or you're taking a break and just doing a bit of anti-vandalism housekeeping on the side - hope its a good one, and that this note is not a problem :) But please only engage in blocking, if you'll be contactable and responsive for any discussions that might arise.

Best, and enjoy the break :)

Request for arbitration

With regret, your attention is drawn to the Requests for arbitration page, where a motion has been made regarding your use of the tools. It proposes either that you are directed not to use the tools until concerns are resolved, or the removal of the tools until that time. Your comments, communication, or other input, would be welcomed, as indeed would any action which would render this unnecessary.

Thank you.

FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 17:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has passed a motion under which your administrative privilages have been removed pending resolution of various issues described in the case, and below. Steward Lar (talk · contribs) has enacted the decision, as noted here. Further comment may be found at WP:AN#Update_from_ArbCom.

This measure is intended to prevent problems whereby users may be blocked and unable to discuss their blocks, and also problems where the block may be questionable and other administrators' concerns cannot be resolved. It was taken because communication via other routes has been unsuccessful and the concerns persist, and it is intended that once the situation is discussed and concerns are resolved, the tools may be restored. The full wording is:

"Can't sleep, clown will eat me's administrator privileges are suspended, pending his communicating with the Arbitration Committee, at Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration or by e-mail. This action is intended to be temporary pending resolution of the concerns that have been raised."

Proposed deletion of Shavit 2

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Shavit 2, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of 2030 FIFA World Cup

The article 2030 FIFA World Cup has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Total invention

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kevin McE (talk) 11:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of 2030 FIFA World Cup

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as 2030 FIFA World Cup, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Kevin McE (talk) 11:13, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I know that your intervention on this article was ancient, but I thought that you might have a comment on the article's current state.

However, despite the transatlantic cultural differences, the present day article seems a bit more opinionated than "Boogity, Boogity". If you have the time and inclination. Thanks,

Non-free rationale for File:Major Havoc title screen.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Major Havoc title screen.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I passed you on the most-edits list. There's something seriously wrong with me, no doubt. Thanks for all you've done here, and perhaps you'll be back again. All the best!

Non-free rationale for File:The Daily Mirror - Sorry We Were Hoaxed.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:The Daily Mirror - Sorry We Were Hoaxed.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Request to take part in a survey

I am Piotr Konieczny, a fellow Wikipedian (User:Piotrus) and a researcher of Wikipedia (http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=gdV8_AEAAAAJ). I am currently (in collaboration with WMF) embarking on a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. We have a growing understanding of why an average editor may do so (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), but we have a very limited understanding of why the top editors would limit their contributions. Yet it is the top editors like yourself who contribute most of Wikiepdia's content, thus understanding this is of vital concern to Wikipedia's project future.

I am contacting you because you are among the top Wikipediana by number of edits, yet your editing activity shows a decline. I would very much appreciate if you would take a minute and answer the following four short questions. Please note this is not a mass email; I am contacting only few dozen of editors like yourself, and each response is extremely valuable. Your response will not be made public, and your privacy will be fully respected.

If you would like to help out in this project and take part in a very short survey, please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I know you've been gone forever. I hesitate to put this photo up, because, perhaps, you really can't sleep because of clowns.

Proposed deletion of Joe Soares

The article Joe Soares has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you. This proposed deletion was started by User:Piotrus

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:22, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ben Brandzel

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Ben Brandzel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ∼∼∼∼ Eric0928^Talk 13:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
