Account Unjustly Blocked

I have discovered that my account "Happyjoe" is blocked from editing due to some sort of misunderstanding over the Big Spring, TX article. I am uncertain who to contact to have this mistake fixed. Please remove this block so that I may complete necessary editing on other articles. Thank you for your timely assistance in resolving this problem...

SBC vandal

I would ask you to literally do what the block message asks: contact SBC Abuse department at the given e-mail and/or phone number and let them know that one of their customers is vandalizing Wikipedia. Let them know that you are an SBC customer and you are affected by this person's vandalism. With the IP addresses and timestamps given, they can identify which one of their customers this is and tell them very firmly to stop.

This particular vandal has been very persistent both yesterday and today, moving on to new articles when his initial target pages are protected and moving on to new IP addresses and IP ranges when his current IP addresses or ranges are blocked, making a few hundred vandalism edits using several dozen IP addresses. Articles targeted have included Disturbed, Gay, Queer, Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Introduction, Apple Macintosh, Michael Moore, Liberalism, Steve Wozniak, Apple Computer, France, Hacker, and ranges have included (to the best of my knowledge) 66.72.232.0/21, 68.21.192.0/20, 68.23.128.0/19, 68.74.160.0/19, 68.74.192.0/20, 68.75.80.0/22, 69.210.96.0/19, 69.210.128.0/19, 75.7.76.0/22, 75.12.128.0/21.

There really isn't any other way to deal with this person other than range blocks. I really hope you and other SBC customers have contacted [1], 800-648-1626 as suggested in the blocking messages. Given the IP addresses and timestamps, SBC can easily identify which one of their customers this is and can tell them very firmly to stop.

Here is a small fraction of the vandalism IP addresses and timestamps (in Central Daylight Time, since the vandal may be physically located near Milwaukee). You might wish to pass this information to the SBC abuse contact:

/Apr 16/ 13:00 CDT 68.74.194.79, 12:59 68.74.195.87, 12:57 69.210.118.150, 12:23 68.74.195.57 /Apr 15/ 11:31 CDT 68.74.198.108, 11:27 69.210.119.239, 11:14 68.74.193.60, 11:12 68.74.199.116 /Apr 14/ 22:34 CDT 69.210.131.18, 22:33 69.210.150.113, 22:32 69.210.134.114, 22:31 69.210.137.170, 22:30 69.210.153.245, 22:28 69.210.121.139, 22:27 69.210.148.86, 22:22 69.210.151.8, 22:21 69.210.102.221, 22:20 69.210.98.43, 22:18 69.210.120.9, 22:17 69.210.122.38, 22:14 69.210.99.21, 22:13 69.210.133.84, 22:09 69.210.100.164, 22:05 69.210.129.50, 22:03 69.210.110.215

It's important that SBC customers contact SBC, because they are unlikely to give much priority or attention to complaints by third party non-customers. -- Curps 04:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't recreate recently deleted pages without more info

You recently recreated "Screaming Viking". This article was deleted in this AFD. Staxringold _talk^contribs 14:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I realize it was likely just not noticing the different cap'ed version, but your article bears little additional information to explain notability, WP isn't a recipe book, and the same subject has recently been deleted. Re-creation of recently deleted material leads to immediate deletion, not a discussion. By all means make a more IN DEPTH article that explains notability, and if you think other drink articles are silly then by all means AFD 'em.

The Forbidden Kingdom (movie)

Could you please supply where you found this title? It's still listed as untitled/working title at the IMDB. I'm presuming that's the same film and updating thus, but would like to document the source for the title. Thanks. SkierRMH 05:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Trollaragorn2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Trollaragorn2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 02:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Survival value

I have nominated Survival value, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Survival value. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

<noinclude>

If you tag a page which is transcluded, you must always bracket the speedy tag with <noinclude></noinclude>. You failure to do so with {{LISWiki link}} caused digital dark age, thesis, etc. to land up spuriously in CAT:CSD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:35, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
