Trying to avoid a drama fest by telling a couple of hard nosed admins instead of going to the AN/I snake pit.

Hello :), please help reach consensus by weighing in your opinion here. Thanks!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 11:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

User:Proof of Case

I'm just wondering where the discussion took place that the user is a sock puppet? I've suspected this for a while, but I could never put a user on it. The user had been causing problems for weeks with me, even suspecting ME for sock puppetry. :/ Thanks, ℥^nding·start 18:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry it went on so long. Once I looked at it, it was obvious. There hasn't been a discussion. Since I was convinced, I'm allowed to block. If he requests unblocking, a checkuser will be run before granting any unblocks.—Kww(talk) 18:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh, alright. It's fine, I'm just glad the user is FINALLY blocked. I'm looking at the original investigations, and you're right, it IS so obvious. That user would not stop with the bubbling under nonsense. ℥^nding·start 18:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Jennifer Lopez discography again

Kevin, I know you mentioned that you have a full time job now and your response time is slow, but if you have time please see the edits of user 1111tomica at Jeniffer Lopez discography. This user has made around some 30 edits within two days, which is fine. But making incorrect changes such as changing the first parts of the citations in the singles table from New Zealand's positions for Jennifer Lopez to NZ ALBUMS (see the entire change here), or supporting all Swiss certifications with 2007 certifications and claiming I explained it, I'm totally right here ! is not a behaviour of someone who likes to work with wiki community. Also, please note that the user has removed all those sources that were placed in the singles boxes for "I'm Into You" and "On the Floor", those positions cannot be found in the sources provided. There are other incorrect changes as Work=German Albums Chart (which should be Media Control), see all other similar changes. Unacceptable behaviour overall.--Harout72 (talk) 23:58, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Sinead O'Connor

Hello. I've been trying to put the Singlechart template in "Nothing Compares 2 U" article, but it just won't let me to. The link becomes broken. I guess it has something to do with Sinead O'Connor's name and symbols used in it. I don't know how to write it correctly, so I'm asking for help. — Cannot (talk) 00:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Routerone

Would you please take a look at the most recent discussion at User talk:Routerone#Concern. It appears to me he has broken his zero revert agreement - and his edit summary "(cleanup, tidy and adjust)" is a bit misleading - adjust seems to mean delete some material and change other material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 14:06, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 22:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Is an indefinite block over this really appropriate? Tweaks to the lede, especially the opening sentence, have been far from rare for this article; any change at all could be construed as a "revert". ...comments? ~BFizz 00:15, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

It was borderline, but it was made clear to Routerone that there was no tolerance or fudging permitted. Even a revert of blatant vandalism would have resulted in him being blocked. In this case, he removed material from the lead that he had objected to and reverted in the past. It technically met the definition and I felt the spirit of it did as well.—Kww(talk) 00:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Do you think its time to blacklist this url completely? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I have an edit filter that watches for it, so the links don't last long. I keep arguing with myself as to whether it's better to blacklist it. Maybe refusing to save the edit will just result in people posting the figures without any clue as to where they came from.—Kww(talk) 01:27, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Dewan and Tomara dynasty

I hit upon Tomara dynasty via an unrelated route (searching for articles using a specific unreliable source), but spotted the PP and then the SPI etc. I've done a fair amount of quick cleaning but am off to bed. I would imagine that you have this article watchlisted, in which case you may wish to consult with SpacemanSpiff regarding what it is I am likely to do to it! Although SS has no information regarding my intent on this article, they are aware of the work that I have done on various caste/dynasty/clan articles. There will probably be a quite significant pruning, then rewrites/rephrases etc and it will happen in bursts. Obviously, if you have a problem with this then please do let me know. - Sitush (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

V7 sport/Iqinn blocks

No, I am not here to question your blocks. Thought I'd get that right out of the way, they are completely solid blocks of two users who clearly have a bad case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. My only concern is that one or the other of them might be able to convince an admin to consider unblocking them. For the moment I have advised them both to consider WP:OFFER. If that doesn't fly I definitely think the next step is ANI to propose an interaction and topic ban of at least a year but preferably indefinite with no appeals for the first year and not more than once every six months thereafter. Neither user is helping in the area they choose to edit, and they obviously cannot work around each other. For the moment I think we can wait and see what they do next, but thought I'd put a bug in your ear about this as it seems you've tangled with these two before.

About your recent revert of my revert

You undid my revert of Fleet Command's removal of red links from the template. [1] with the message "addition of non-navigational links to navigation template". Have you seen the discussion on the talk page? The red link guideline page states: Red links are generally not ... linked to through templates such as Main or Further, since these navigation aids are intended to help readers find existing articles. An exception is red links in navboxes where the red-linked articles are part of a series or a whole set, e.g. a navbox listing successive elections, referendums, presidents, sports league seasons, etc. These red links are thus valid, since these red links are in fact part of a series. Listing someone's books in those two bestselling series of his, and not listing all of them, is not a better alternative than this. Dream Focus 02:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Nelly Furtado page

Hello! I was wondering if you could semi-protect the Nelly Furtado page, because just recently a prankster altered her whole biography, changing her from a "Canadian of portuguese descent" to an "Indian who came from New Mumbai." He changed the instruments that she plays, i.e, from "guitar, keyboards, ukelele and trombone" to "sitar, harmonium and what-not"! I had a tough time clearing that mess up. I would have semi-protected the page if I knew how to, the fact is that I don't.....so please help.....Manas justice (talk) 09:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Not sock puppetry

Hi Kww. I used to be a consistant contributor to wiki untill I left wiki 2 years back. The recent edits made under IP 69.118.40.76 and 129.42.208.174, mistaken to be sock puppetry by another user and reverted by you were actually made by me. After having authored more than a dozen FA's (some of which I touched recently) I left wiki, unable to contribute for both personal reasons and the kind of sock puppetry you face on wiki everyday. So, I dont blame you for the reverts. I was too lazy to log in. I do visit wiki once every six months or so if I feel I have found a really good source and some new information, though I realize I should have logged in. Please do revert your reverts and then lock up the articles if you feel there are socks trolling those articles. However, if you prefer not to revert to my edits (in articles Asaga, Western Ganga Dynasty, Political history of medieval Karnataka, Rashtrakuta literature and the template within that article, and Kannada) I will not bother to make an issue. I visit only ocassionally and really dont want to get into debates. You may retain the template I deleted from two of those articles, though I think they only create more confusion.

Non-Muslim views about the Indicent of Umar at Fatimah's House

The Hashemites alone declined the oath of fidelity; and their chief, in his own house, maintained, above six months, a sullen and independent reserve; without listening to the threats of Omar, who attempted to consume with fire the habitation of the daughter of the apostle.

Please quit shoving singlechart templates down my throat. Just because I'm not in accordance with them does not necessarily mean my edits are disruptive. Last time I checked, they're not mandatory, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the formatting I'm using, which has been on Wikipedia for ages. In fact, I've seen single articles by thousands of artists which still use the manual formatting—why won't you go change those too? SnapSnap 00:58, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Potential Sockpuppet of Pesf

Hi there, I've been monitoring this user User talk:92.24.197.105 and it seems that they are acting in the exact same manner to the User you blocked Madiera1234. They are removing large chunks of information on the same articles as that of the named sockpuppet. I would be grateful if you could have a look into this. Cheers. Virus101 (talk) 16:27, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, there is a User talk:92.29.24.100 who is again following very similar behaviour to Pesf by removing big chunks of sourced information and pretending to address a tiny matter. Could you perhaps look into this? Thanks again mate. Virus101 (talk) 00:17, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Pesf again, but with maybe a different view

Some thoughts about Pesf. While I'll be the first to congratulate everyone blocking Pesf socks, as Pesf had made quite disruptive edits ruining the work of many editors, (and by the way, they may also be on 92.24.206.213, 92.24.203.92), the edits sometime really make sense. here for example I would have done the same. The download chart seems valid, and the cleanup tag was given without stating a reason, and I don't personally see what to clean up. here he removed an unsourced peak. If you look at the history, it was sourced to WP:BADCHARTS and the only reason I didn't remove it myself was that I have a personal agreement with the editor who added it to let him know on his talk page rather than remove - otherwise I would have definitely removed a WP:BADCHARTS listing. here of course I totally agree - I believe this is one type of disruptive editing that got him blocked, introducing unsourced sales figures. Maybe a bit of caution with the reverts is appropriate? Not that I haven't in the past reverted the entirety of a blocked editor's edits just to be on the safe side. So maybe I'm not sure what I am saying but just felt it needed to be said. Sorry to waste your time with my deliberations. On the practical side, maybe semi-protection is due? Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 07:40, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Scrooge McDuck protection

Hi, Kww. Can I persuade you that semiprotecting Scrooge McDuck for a year is a bit of an overreaction? The "FPS Kyle" vandalism -- whatever it means -- is rather low volume and quite easy to keep up with with normal editing procedures. Semi-protection, on the other hand, prohibits all non-registered users from editing the article, just to stop one person. I think that's too steep a price to pay for a very small added convenience. Powers ^T 20:32, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Given that the article has spent half of this year semi-protected due to this kind of vandalism, and many of the IP edits that have been made are vandalism, I don't really think it's overdoing it. I could trim it to 6 months if you feel extremely strongly about it.—Kww(talk) 20:43, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I do feel strongly about it, though I don't know if I'd say "extreme". Nonetheless, I'd have made the same request if you'd semi-protected it for six months as well. This kind of low-volume vandalism is just not a good reason to shut out non-registered users. Powers ^T 20:56, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

As six months is still excessive, I have requested unprotection at WP:RPP#Current requests for unprotection. Powers ^T 13:46, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Pesf

Hello there Kww, Pesf is vandalising the same articles again using this account User talk:2.98.253.173. They are removing large chunks of sourced charting information from Take That singles and editing Boyzone albums inappropriately. I also have reason to suspect that this account, User talk:92.29.28.223 has been used as well as the contributions mimic the same actions as Pesf and his other sock puppets. Sorry to trouble you but they continue to vandalise the work of users and act in an aggressive manner when approached. If you could look into this I would be very grateful indeed, and perhaps as Munhandes has suggested a semi protect to be imposed on the articles that are being constantly attacked? Many thanks for your time. Yids2010 (talk) 22:26, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Your response

I notice that you haven't responded to my criticisms on your CU page. Am I to understand that you have elected not to communicate?

In particular, I do consider you barred from any administrative action with regards to me or my accounts. That includes any advanced permissions you may ever receive. Gimmetoo (talk) 13:28, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I've engaged all points that you have made. I am not barred from any administrative actions relative to you at any time. I don't cross the threshold of WP:INVOLVED in dealing with you. WP:INVOLVED does not limit admins from taking multiple actions against one account. "One important caveat is that an administrator who has interacted with an editor or topic area purely in an administrative role, or whose prior involvement are minor or obvious edits which do not speak to bias, is not involved and is not prevented from acting in an administrative capacity in relation to that editor or topic area. This is because one of the roles of administrators is precisely to deal with such matters, at length if necessary. Warnings, calm and reasonable discussion and explanation of those warnings, advice about community norms, and suggestions on possible wordings and approaches, do not make an administrator 'involved'." I don't think there is any reasonable perception that I am biased against you (or for you, for that matter). I'm sorry that you don't seem to understand that.—Kww(talk) 14:08, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

You have made multiple administrative actions that were incorrect with regards to me. That is why you are barred from further action. But since we're discussing this - you seem to have had no problem with NW issuing an out-of-policy ultimatim to a fellow admin, requiring consent and action as a condition for unblocking. Do you still agree that an admin may issue such an ultimatim without authorizations in policy? Gimmetoo (talk) 18:19, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

First things first: please stop describing me as being "barred" from taking actions against you in the future unless you can get some sort of consensus to that effect. It certainly isn't a reasonable reading of WP:INVOLVED. If NW had blocked Gimmetrow, your argument would apply. NW did not block the Gimmetrow account. NW blocked the Gimmetoo account when he believed there was a substantial risk that it was being used to impersonate an admin. Given that it was the second time the Gimmetoo account had been involved in an edit war in a short period of time, he was not the only admin concerned that Gimmetoo was, in fact, a skilled impersonator. Gimmetrow made no effort to take any action to alleviate NW's fears. Gimmetrow refused to respond to e-mails requesting confirmation of his relationship to Gimmetoo. Gimmetrow refused to use his acknowledged alter, Gimmebot, to alleviate anyone's concerns. Gimmetrow refused to do anything about the situation, and, in doing so, caused most of his own problems. Did I make a mistake by not seeing that the autoblock had been forged? Yes, I did. Good-faith mistakes don't make someone incapable of action in the future.—Kww(talk) 19:19, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

NW blocked without prior contact or discussion, then removed email and talk. You supported this. Show me the policy that authorizes this? Show me the policy that authorizes any admin to require another user log in and perform actions from a specific account? If you cannot grasp why that's inappropriate behavior, then you have no business having access to privileged information. Gimmetoo (talk) 19:28, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I still support it. NW wasn't wrong. As for policies, I think WP:BURO and WP:IAR cover the extremely unusual circumstance of an account claiming to be an admin's alternate while the admin refused to acknowledge the existence of the account. No reasonable person would expect Wikipedia to have policies and procedures in place for a circumstance that should never have occurred. I really am sorry that you don't seem to understand your role in causing this situation to escalate.—Kww(talk) 19:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

You have made a claim that "the admin refused to acknowledge the existence of the account". Demonstrate that or retract it. I expect either response ASAP.

Since you can only claim IAR to ignore other policies, then you do formally support admins making an out-of-policy ultimatim?

You have still not adequately responded to the first serious event - you used admin tools to block a user who was removing false information from a BLP, and you did not remove the information yourself; hence you used administrative tools to support the retention of a WP:BLP violation. (You also knew the user in question was an admin.)

Once you have made such an egregious error - and have been unable to admit your error - it is quite reasonable to view any later blocks (and unblock declines) as an attempt to validate an inapproprate administrative action. You then later denied an unblock, supported the removal of talk page and email access, and then filed an SPI that was quite inappropriate in many ways. And since you brought up edit-warring, let's not forget you have been involved in disruptive edit-warring a few times yourself. According to your argument, isn't that grounds to suspect your account is compromised? How would you expect an admin to handle your account? Gimmetoo (talk) 20:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

The request can be seen at http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=378928321#obstruction_of_ref_clean-up : note my edit at 21:17, the follow up from Atama at 21:21, and your own block log. I can't prove a negative: if you want to claim that Gimmetrow acknowledged the account, show me an edit from Gimmetrow acknowledging that Gimmetoo is an alternate account. It is also far from an "egregious" error to view an edit war over whether Brenda Song won a trivial award or was only nominated for it as not being covered by WP:BLP.—Kww(talk) 20:17, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

On the latter, it was verifiably false information, easily checked via websearches. Had no place in the article. You retained verifiably false information, and used administrator tools against another administrator to do so. At no point did you *ask* anything, which is part of the pattern you need to recognize and change. On the former, you have failed to demonstrate, and you have not retracted. Your failure to do so could be construed as disruptive and a violation of administrator conduct guidelines, which could be viewed as another basis for suspecting something amiss with your account. You have also failed to respond to my latter question. See how much nicer it is to be given opportunities to discuss and respond, rather than the "block first and issue an ultimatim" approach? Gimmetoo (talk) 20:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

However, you were adding it as unsourced information. If you want to argue that the other editor was using poor sources, certainly your use of no sources at all was equally bad? And I don't know how to characterize "Can you please log on as Gimmetrow and confirm that you and he are the same editor? The question of your identity has been asked a few times, and I would like to see confirmation. Behaviourally, it appears that you are the same person (see this for example), but I would like to see explicit confirmation." as anything but "asking". In a fairly polite fashion, too.—Kww(talk) 21:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

No. The nomination was sourced as I recall. Anyone with basic web competence should have been able to do a websearch and find out who actually won. And I said that. Did you do a websearch? Did you consider asking for a source at any point, either before or after the block? Did you remove the false information after the block? As for the latter - can you see why the request might or might not get answered? Did anyone bother to wait for a reply? So how is that a "refusal"? Now, can you cite the policy which authorizes blocking someone for not logging in to another account when allegedly politely requested to do so? Is there any requirement to do so? Gimmetoo (talk) 21:18, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

The winning of the award was also sourced. It's pretty reasonable to assume that given a source for a nomination and a source for a win, the winning can be seen as occurring after the nomination, and superceding the original source. That's the normal order of such things. Did you ever provide any reason to doubt the other editor's source? Did you ever provide a link to a claim by someone else to have won? Or did you simply edit-war the change hoping that the IP would eventually give up? As for the other issue, can you understand why an account impersonating an admin could be a problem? Can you cite a policy which justifies allowing accounts that claim to be alternate accounts of admins to continue to edit when the admin account hasn't acknowledged them after repeated requests? Can you see that other editors' suspicions were reasonably aroused by a combination that lack of confirmation?—Kww(talk) 21:34, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

The win was not sourced, and yes I explained why. That should have been the end of it. Have you bothered to answer my questions? No, I don't think so. You got a problem, you ask about it. I'm here asking you. Now respond. And to carry on the thought experiment - since you have failed to respond to my satisfaction despite repeated requests, I have reason to suspect your account is compromised. As such, persuant to the thought experiment, you are now blocked, and as a condition for unblock you are required do contact me by email to show that you are the original person in command of your account. Again, this is a thought experiment - how do you respond to that? Gimmetoo (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

http://blog.scholastic.com/ink_splot_26/2009/06/brenda-song-life-sure-is-sweet-.html contains an interview with the sentence "You have received the Asian Excellence Award." That's not the greatest and most explicit source I've seen, but it is certainly a source. Worthy of a discussion, at the very least.

As for your question about ultimatums: you are basically phrasing it as a variation of "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Describing NW's edits as having delivered an "out-of-policy ultimatum to an admin" is misleading. He blocked an account he suspected of impersonation, and indicated how the account that he suspected of being impersonated could deal with it. I've explained why I thought that was justified. NW revoked your talk page access after two successive denials of your unblock requests by two different admins, and gave you explicit permission to unblock the account yourself. Should you block me in the case you described, I would use {{unblock}} explaining that your request was based on an invalid motive. In the remote chance that my unblock was denied, I would happily deal with the unblock mail list if I had to. None of the steps you were requested to take would have violated your privacy in any fashion.

I've been extraordinarily responsive in this discussion. What you seem to be having difficulty accepting is that you placed every admin dealing with your case in a very difficult position. You didn't take any of the trivial steps it would have taken to resolve the situation. You logged in to the account that you received mail from as Gimmetrow. We know that because you received my messages. You could have posted that text at Commons (where you were still talking). You could have used a Hotmail account to reply if you didn't want to reveal your normal e-mail address to me. Hell, you could have just mentioned the timestamp of the e-mail in the discussion. Instead, you chose to fight a battle that didn't need to be fought at all, apparently on the principle that your account should have been above suspicion despite suspicious behaviour.—Kww(talk) 22:14, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry kww, but you haven't understood the implications of the thought experiment. In this thought experiment, you were blocked after your suspicious editing provided grounds to suspect your account was compromised. You were given clear directions by an admin about the process you needed to take to become unblocked. You have not taken that process. Presumably you would agree that your not taking the process outlined is completely and entirely your fault? Rather, you have continued to edit while blocked, which is block-evasion and sockpuppetry. Therefore, in the thought experiment, you are now blocked indefinitely and your talk page and email access on wiki is revoked. You can still email me, with the email address you would have if you are in control of the email account associated with this wikipedia account. Now what do you do, in this thought experiment?

"None of the steps you were requested to take would have violated your privacy in any fashion." That's a most interesting claim. How do YOU know that? If you cannot even think of a situation where your claim is false, you have at least a failure of imagination, and consequently you have a fundamental blind spot in your approach to this issue. Gimmetoo (talk) 05:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I'll grant that "none" was an overstatement. How about "there were options that would not have compromised your privacy". Using your Gimmebot account, for example, which has been confirmed, and you still use. Creating a throwaway Hotmail account to reply to me. Mentioning the contents of one of my e-mail messages in one of your unblocks or on commons. There were numerous ways to respond, and you chose not to.

If you could read e-mail sent to Gimmetrow, that means that whatever horrible, keystroke logging dungeon that left you unable to log in to your Gimmetrow Wikipedia account did not apply to your e-mail account. It was available for you to use. You refused to do so, apparently for the same reasons that plague you today: you view the affront of the block as so severe that it appears to have made you angry, and you then didn't deal with it appropriately.

Your thought experiment has very little relationship to what happened to you, by the way. Your request in your thought experiment would probably be seen as unreasonable, and my unblock would be granted. This is quite different from yours, where two separate admins denied your unblock. I said I would deal with the unblock mailing list, which is also a reasonable response, and not sockpuppeting in any fashion. The one detail that you are right on is that no admin can set a precise, enforceable action: if admin X sets a condition but you can persuade admin Y to reverse the block, that's fine. You had that open to you as well. Even if you felt NuclearWarfare was completely off-base (despite a general opinion that his action was at least reasonable, even if we wouldn't have done it ourselves), you had options. Instead, you just kept making unblock requests with "no policy basis for block" until your talk page access was revoked. Despite other's encouragement, you wouldn't use the Gimmebot account, citing a slavish adherence to policy about bot accounts. You wouldn't deal with e-mail. One thing that you refused to accept (and apparently still refuse to accept) is that there was no policy-based argument that Gimmetoo could have made that would have resulted in a consensus to overturn NW's block. Evidence had been requested, and your refusal to provide any or to explain why you weren't providing any wasn't being accepted. As I've said, everyone was in an awkward situation. You weren't helping yourself or anyone else by not cooperating.—Kww(talk) 11:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Evidence has been requested of you, and you have failed to provide any or to explain why you aren't providing any. (Of course, your ability to "provide evidence" is somewhat limited, because you have no talk page or email access.) Using the unblock list would have violated privacy, so that's not an option if privacy matters to you. Discussing with another admin is not an option for you either, because your email access has been blocked; you are only able to email admins that have previously emailed you - which is me. Since I have noted your suspicious and disruptive editing, there is a good faith basis for suspecting your account is compromised, and another admin agrees. I have noted that I have edited with you before and so have private information to use to confirm you are still you, so the block is viewed as not reviewable by other admins. Since you continued editing while blocked, there is now a ban discussion concerning you to which you are unable to reply without socking more.. Things are not looking good for you in this thought experiment. Gimmetoo (talk) 12:14, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Of course I have e-mail access, I just don't have access to the button. No one deprived you of talk page access or access to the e-mail button until you had made two denied unblock requests, which you knew you were risking when your second unblock request was unresponsive and an exact copy of your original unblock request. Access to the unblock request and arbcom mailing lists is available to all, and cannot be blocked by an admin. If people feel like a block is truly unreasonable, they have options. It's up to them to take them.—Kww(talk) 12:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

You do not have email access through Wikipedia, so you cannot email anyone whose email address you don't know. Now, to correct some of your errors. I made one unblock request, just as you have done. The unblock request was questioning the policy basis for the block - much as you have done. It was denied - just as yours was - for failing to perform the actions outlined by the admin. Then NW immediately removed talk page access. (Yours was removed for more than this.) At that point NW was required to demonrate the policy basis for the block (and talk page and email removal following a single unblock request). Since NW did not do that, NW had had a COI with regard to any further administrative action. NW then used his position as a SPI clerk to "approve" an SPI regvarding the account. There were other clerks; there was no need for NW to do that. It was an error for him to do that when the account had clearly questioned his administrative basis. (Keep in mind what happened to NW after that.) Using the unblock list is tantamount to outing; that's not really an option if you care about privacy. That is probably a point where this analogy fails, because you may not care about outing, but I do, and I doubt there is any policy basis to require editors to out themselves. Gimmetoo (talk) 13:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Since you have elected not to respond, I will reiterate: As a result of your repeated inappropriate actions, you are barred henceforth from taking any administrative action (interpreted broadly, including closes and any advanced permission) with respect to me or my accounts. Gimmetoo (talk) 19:18, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

: I hit the wrong button, but in any case, you are not welcome to post on my talk page. Since you assert you are not WP:INVOLVED, then as a consequence you fully agree that I am not barred from taking any administrative action against you. You therefore do understand that, should by some misfortune you get access to CU info about me, and I become aware of it, and I find it even the slightest inappropriate, you may be blocked.

The Neptunes Discography

Hi Mr. Williams, why don't you just delete the whole Neptunes discography on here because they don't have any reliable source material, unsourced stuff has to be removed... Are you freaking kidding me? Look what you just did, you just delete a year of a hard work and resource and why because you just thought I ma go ahead at this page and clean it up and tell this idiot how to edit on this page. Well Mr. Williams , I really appreciate all the hard work you did for Wikipedia but I don't appreciate what you're doing with me and the neptunes discography for the last 5 days, I get all the rules but REALLY I mean Really, you need to come inhere and kinda vandalism the page because there's no source of it and because you can, believe me, I'm following the neptunes since 2001 and I woulda been the last person to vandalism or spread rumours about the neptunes working with people which they wouldn't. Just look at the discogography how organized it is, none of the other discographies have been written like this one and speaking of it you should go and delete them too because they don't have a reliable source material

• Timbaland_production_discography
• Just_Blaze_discography
• Darkchild
• Danja_production_discography
• J_Dilla_discography

Look, all I want from you is to understand me that I do't spread rumours and write some bullshit inhere because I did this whole thing here. The Neptunes are my passion, so I kindly ask you to Please stop removing stuff from the neptunes discography I would really appreciate it... thank you.

I did read http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:RS but a twitter page or a blog is not a reliable source like you said it too, so I've decided not to add those links because, if that's the reason, then 3/4 of the added tracks on the page need a reliable source and that's not really possible because most of them have been confirmed by their artists blogs/twitter/facebook

3/4 of the added tracks can't get a reliable source but they are all available. Will add refs to the fansites in the future edits, I hope everything is alright now, have a good one. MikaSan (talk

Okay, here is the thing Mr. Williams, how about I show you evidence of the neptunes working with someone for their future projects but the only source is a twitter/blog/facebook or youtube source, could you please then show me how to add the source of it. JohnFromPinckney told me that "The fact that fansites aren't accepted as reliable sources does not mean the solution is to remove the refs to the fansites" what does that exactly mean? For example Pharrell was recently in the studio working with the rapper Young Dose but the only source of it is a youtube video like here * how do I add a reiable source for it, and one more thing, when you gonna remove some tracks of the page, please let me know which one they are, so that I can find a reiable source that the neptunes worked with so that we can still have it on the page, thanks in advance MikaSan (talk)

I Understand MikaSan (talk)

I started editing The Neptunes Discography for I think almost 2 years, so I could Inform people about The Neptunes work they're doing for 20 years since I'm running a neptunes site since 2002. Look at the work I did here and all the hours i've spend editing the site for the love for The Neptunes and I think I did a good job here til now I guess. People have been adding stuff on the site without any sources since the beginning and that hasn't been removed, well it hasn't been removed because they're real and exist and like I said before I would be the last person to create rumours or make up things and that worked well til you guys came and demand sources, then you should go ahead and remove ALL THOSE ADDED TRACKS that hasn't been sourced because it is not fair to remove my edits because there is no a reiable source and all those unsourced tracks can stay on the discography, I think that's pretty much rude and unfair.

Essay invitation

My recent editing activity has lead me to two things. One, that many editors attempt to combine sources and facts to synthesis information in ways that suit their agendas or their perceptions. Both are equally damaging to Wikipedia even if the latter is not something the editor him/herself may not realize. The second....I am spending WAY too much time on a certain subject. To occupy my time (pun, very much intended) I have begun a Wikipedia essay article. Remembering my own faults as an early editor and our many discussions on The Rocky Horror Picture Show an example of synthesis perception problems I had there of facts and references.... I thought you might be a perfect person to help with this in any form or fashion you wish. (Plus, your spelling an grammar are impeccable...and mine are not. LOL!)

I am inviting you to help contribute to a new essay article, WP:PAROOAH Wikipedia:Pulling a rabbit out of a hat. This essay is about no synthesis. Please feel free to add contributions, edit the article for errors and discuss the (edit: changed to not sound like I mean the essay article as policy) Wikipedia policies and guidelines for Original Research, on the talk page and how we can improve my essay!

• 09:54, 6 November 2011
• 11:42, 1 November 2011 seems to be the edit they keep reverting to. Which I think is really:
• 09:57, 29 October 2011 by a named user, not the IP.
• 08:24, 25 October 2011 by same named user
• 21:58, 17 October 2011 by same named user

It's an IP user, so the address keeps changing, but it's the same (76.193.xxx.xxx) range. It's Chicago, not Detroit, but I thought maybe it's one of your friends with a hosiery fetish, and that you'd recognize them as a sock.

Okay, thanks for the IP protection. The named account has hit it a couple more times now (here and here), but I've reverted/undone what needed it and I've started taking the leave-a-notice approach more seriously. I think I naively expect people to read, understand, and accept the vast wisdom in my edit summaries, but I guess a lot of editors never look at them (or just don't care). Possibly, my note on his page will be too long or condescending to make a positive impact, too.

Corbin Bleu

Hi Kww. I just saw the Sockpuppet investigation link. Then I suspected that IP suggesting the version was the same person who used to do the thing. Anyway, after I have restored (via copy and paste), I began the copy editing / clean up. Nevertheless, I'll agree with the revert and enhance the article instead by taking what's essential and compliant to Wiki policies from that version that was allegedly full of copyright violations. Thanks. --Efe (talk) 14:32, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kww. I am wondering why my edits were reverted. As I have said in my prior edits, I agree with the revert of my earliest edits to the article that were a direct (but completely innocent) compliance to the suggestion of the IP, which I later realized is someone who was involved in the sockpuppetry. But then again, I said that I will start again and improve the article based on my personal will. WP:BAN states in part: "Wikipedians in turn are not permitted to post or edit material at the direction of a banned editor (sometimes called proxy editing or proxying) unless they are able to confirm that the changes are verifiable and they have independent reasons for making them." I therefore request that the revert be reverted. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 15:10, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Clarification on your position wrt causing offense based on religious belief

Hi. Here you said "I'm happy to support language about offensiveness and shock value so long as offense based in a religious belief is explicitly excluded from consideration." Can you explain to me what is exceptional about religious offense, as compared with violent or sexually offensive content? Several editors have made the distinction but I'm wondering about the rationale behind it. And the Foundation resolution that kicked off this latest round of discussion explicitly included religious content in its advice regarding controversial content. Bear in mind that one board member I asked said he was unaware of any discussion at the board level that would suggest that the resolution applies only to commons. [11] --Anthonyhcole (talk) 12:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

That was a particularly poorly thought out resolution in my mind. It was aimed at Commons, but it's true that it wasn't explicitly limited to Commons. It's impetus for being, however, was the massive quantities of porn being stored on Commons that no one was willing to undergo the process of having a lengthy discussion per image over.

As for my reasons for excluding religious offense, it's a consequence of the need to treat all religions equally. For purposes of an encyclopedia, religions are neither true nor false, they just are. We should never endeavour to prove Christianity false, for example, nor would we try to prove Buddhism to be true. We simply report what the beliefs of each system are. We don't weigh some as being better or more important than others, either: the religious beliefs of billions of Muslims are no better and no worse than the millions of Latter-day Saints or a few tribesmen in Papua New Guinea. From our perspective, they are all the same.

An enormous number of images in our articles cause offense to someone based on religious beliefs. We really can't afford to remove all pictures of women, or dead people, or dancing, or nudity, or others based on the fact that they offend some people on religious grounds. Yet, we can't decide that some images are religiously offensive enough to remove without placing that religious belief in a superior position to others.

That leaves us in the position of ignoring all religious beliefs, in order to have a functioning encyclopedia and place all religions on equal footing. Most of the images that are a real problem (the anti-Semitic images that have been brought up) get covered under our attack policies. If an image is designed to attack people based on religious grounds, it needs to be removed. That test could arguably cover the various "Mohammed in hell" pictures, but wouldn't cover any of the images that are the current source of discussion.—Kww(talk) 14:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Just to be clear on your last point, do you agree with me that a medieval depiction of "Muhammad in hell" could be used in Medieval European demonization of Muhammad in art and literature, just as "Jews-sucking louse-typhus" is appropriate in Themes in Nazi propaganda#Jews, or do you think it has no place on the project at all? That is, if such images were the topic of an article, would it be appropriate to use them? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:10, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

If the attacks themselves are the subject of the article, that would have to be considered. It would be foolish to remove all illustrations of antisemitism from antisemitism, for example. It would need to be clear from context that the illustration is recognized as an attack, and not endorsed.—Kww(talk) 15:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I will address your response to my first question but can I just ask where you stand with regard to using the goatse.cx image at goatse.cx if the copyright difficulties are resolved? (I'm assuming you're familiar with the controversy and its resolution.) It's an image that is the subject of the article, essentially, and so highly relevant. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:36, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I've never really taken a position on that one. I've got a hard time envisioning anyone visiting the article that isn't aware of the image, so I don't have a really strong opinion either way.—Kww(talk) 15:55, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I went to the article for the first time knowing nothing about the image; I'd seen a cryptic reference to it. You would not exclude the image from the article purely on the basis of its offensiveness, would you, given it is highly relevant? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 16:44, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Probably not. I could see an argument that it shouldn't be in the infobox, or perhaps even collapsed, but excluding it entirely wouldn't be consistent with the way we normally treat images.—Kww(talk) 16:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Why not put it in the infobox? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 16:54, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I didn't say that I would agree to that, simply that I wouldn't see the argument for doing so as unreasonable. Like I said, I haven't spent a lot of time pondering the issue.—Kww(talk) 16:57, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, you've had a chance to think about it now. This is a fairly straightforward example of a grossly offensive image with high relevance to an article. Does it belong in the article's infobox? If not, why not, given it pretty much is what the article is about? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 17:10, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

It's a situation where I tend to abide with consensus. I think we overuse images. I would remove every album cover, single cover, book cover, and magazine cover from Wikipedia for example. My preference would be not to include the image at all, given that its impact and meaning can be described. I would normally lose such an argument, and would calmly accept being outvoted.—Kww(talk) 18:31, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

You say excluding the image would be inconsistent with usual practice but you see a reasonable argument (which you may not support) in favour of collapsing it or not putting it in the infobox. That must be a different argument from the one you just put: that there are too many images. "That there are too many images" is an argument for removal of the image from the article. What is the reasonable argument for collapsing or demoting it? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 16:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Arbcom 2011 answers and info

Hi Kww, thank you for your answers to my questions at ACE2011. In addition to many editors and admins, I too believe that the Arbcom has made a big mistake here in their unblocking of this editor and/or have handled it badly -- one may reasonably assume that due to the lack of clear comment there is somewhat a closing of ranks on the committee on the issue. According to Jclemens this editor was unblocked on the basis of checkuser evidence. In essence, the editor was unblocked because IPs didn't match. I made note at the clarification request, that IP's or browsers alone should never be used to determine sockpuppetry -- I demonstrated this by stating the obvious -- editors can have many IPs, and given choices by consumers, ISPs and browsers can be changed at whim, but behavioural and editorial traits are harder to change. It appears that the committee has used ONLY this checkuser evidence, and have totally ignored WP:DUCK and behavioural evidence. It would be a nightmare for WP if this were to be the case for all sockpuppets (as you are well aware given your history of investigating them).

User:Prioryman has an evidence page where he notes striking similarities between the sockmaster and his sockpuppets (TLAM being the Arbcom-unblocked incarnation). It needs to be noted, and made explicitly clear, that since being unblocked the editor in question has received a topic ban for acting disruptively in the very area and same articles that the sockmaster was disruptive in. Adding to the incredulity of the situation, the sockpuppet has had his topic ban relaxed at WP:AE in order for him to participate in mediation processes on Holodomor - it has to somewhat set a (very bad) precedent that a sockpuppet is allowed to participate in a mediation in an area from which the sockmaster and other sockpuppets have been indef blocked. So obviously you can understand the importance of this issue from that aspect.

I have noted some bleeding obvious WP:DUCK evidence at the Clarification request. Look at the diffs I provide in the first sentence for example. Other DUCK similarities include:

• [13][14] (tags for "junk")
• [15][16] (use of "begin section")

I am emailing to you also a couple of pieces of other DUCK evidence, and am doing this because it is evidence that when I saw it, it "stuck out like dogs balls", and all but convinces me that TLAM is Marknutley, and it is unwise to give sockpuppets a complete insight into behavioural and editorial traits that give them away. We don't need to give them an opportunity to change their habits to make them harder to detect; we want to them to give themselves away so that they can be blocked, as this one originally was.

I have shown evidence to several admins, some of whom were involved in previous SPI involving this editor, and none of them are willing to stand up and "go over Arbcoms head", even though they are all but convinced that it is a sockpuppet. Then you have Arbcom "closing ranks" and protecting their appeal decision which was based on different IPs, and whilst ignoring convincing behavioural and DUCK evidence. So there is basically a stalemate; no admin will do anything, because Arbcom refuse to disclose information, and Arbcom are hesitant to pass the issue back to the community to deal with because it makes the committee look like it ballsed up (which is has, in good faith); however.....

At Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification#Arbitrator_views_and_discussion_2, User:John Vandenberg states "We've said that if there is better evidence, we're happy to be overruled in this instance." I think you can agree that the evidence here on your talk page and linked pages is better than editing from different IPs (in same geographical area) being evidence of not being a sockpuppet. A few of the other arbs have either supported, or insinuated they would support, either a reblocking of TLAM or a blocking of TLAM given behaviour since being unblocked - to be topic banned from an area only a matter of weeks after being unblocked is indicative of problematic editorial behaviour.

However, it is plainly obvious that the Committee as a whole has basically closed ranks on the original unblock. Possibly it is because to admit that they may have erred, erred in good gaith, but erred all the same, could call into question the integrity of the Committee in the eyes of the community; but I believe that the continual denials of any possible good faith error being made (such as Coren's answers to questions) is what calls into question the integrity of the Committee in the end. And it is that which is a core issue here.

I do have to give you kudos, because part of the reason that I posted what I did, was to see what candidates would do about the information that was presented. Barring sitting Arbs, none of the candidates actually looked at the issues that were raised in any great depth -- and investigating issues in depth is something that Arbs are supposed to do! -- and you are the only one who offered to actually do so. You didn't offer judgement one way or another, but you did say you would look at it. And for that alone, it makes you stand out from the others. Russavia ^{Let's dialogue} 18:55, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Reading between the lines of both on-Wiki comments and private correspondence I get the impression that the committee really doesn't want to re-block TLAM and that the lack of checkuser evidence is convenient in this regard. My guess is that they know he'll simply create another sockpuppet if the TLAM account is blocked. Thus if the TLAM account is allowed to continue he'll be easier to keep tabs on. Sort of like "better to have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in," using the parlance of our times. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 20:01, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Ridiculously complex to do it the first call and not subsequent calls (which I think is technically correct).

You really think it is okay to keep a loop-redirect? The album links to the song, but the redirect sends you back to the album. That was what I was trying to solve. It is okay when you unlink it, but this redirect is rather silly. Night of the Big Wind _talk 02:26, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Loop redirects are fairly harmless. If it really bothers you, take the link out of the album article. That would be better than deleting the song article, especially since the song article survived an AFD with a "redirect" result. It really isn't eligible for CSD after that.—Kww(talk) 02:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Kelly Wearstler, really?

Hi Kww. Your Arbcom nomination responses were brought to my attention, as that darn Kelly Wearstler article was brought up. I just wanted to say that it makes me really sad that you would assume that those involved in rewriting the article would be anti-Playboy (I'm surely not, and I know you don't know me and my personal interests, but I assure you, I'm not.) and that "Wearstler herself would rather that her Wikipedia page emphasize her interior design business rather than her Playmate past."

If you read the article, and sources, Wearstler is pretty open about her Playboy experience, it's also emphasized in the lead. However, she's a Los Angeles Times bestselling writer and has her clothing and good sold at Bergdorf Goodman. I used to work in the fashion industry, for 10+ years, high end fashion at that, and to have your clothing sold exclusively at BG is quite an honor. I understand you might not be versed in high fashion or the culture, but, trust me, it's a big deal, perhaps even more of a big deal (in this day an age) than being a Playboy bunny. (sorry!) She also has a fashion line, and does the major fashion week shows, again, in fashion, this is like the Superbowl.

I wasn't familiar with who she was until I came across the article and decided to work on it. I pride myself, as someone who has been editing and writing about BLP's for quite sometime, about keeping things neutral. I've got some peer reviewed articles under my belt regarding bio's, and I've never had a problem with someone accusing an article I've worked on as being non-neutral because it was expanded to reflect the major media outlets that have documented her career post-Playboy. I assure you that I do not know Wearstler, and if "she" or her "people" were involved in anyway in editing the article, I wouldn't know (and I really really doubt they were).

Playboy isn't bad, I don't always enjoy all their gimmicks (that TV show was really terrible), but, I also don't think a woman's career needs to based around a brief moment in their life of posing in a magazine to get by. I'm really disappointed that you would assume we'd knocking Playboy and that Wearstler was involved. The last thing I want to do is have any drama, but, I was so frustrated with your response, I had to say something. As your comments incensed me, as I took it personal, as a colleague and co-editor of Wikipedia, almost like an attack on my writing. I hope you understand. SarahStierch (talk) 14:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I was also surprised by your comments regarding the Kelly Wearstler article. The assertion that Wearstler's most notable achievement was posing in Playboy is absurd. And the fact that you would use that as an example of abuse of the BLP policy is even worse. If you can't assume good faith in a straight-forward case such as this, I have little confidence that you will exercise appropriate judgement in BLP cases that come before the Arbitration committee. Kaldari (talk) 19:36, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. As most of the work on that article was done recently by Sarah, it seems natural to conclude that your comments were in regard to her rewriting of the article. Since that isn't the case (according to your response), I would encourage you to clarify your comments at the election discussion. Kaldari (talk) 20:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

"Tailsman67"

Hi Kww. Remember blocking an IP that kept on signing his name as "Tailsman"? His old IP was this: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A74.163.17.131 - As you can see from the block log, you blocked him because I reported him at ANI. (And he was blocked again later as well.)

Anyways, I remember you writing something along the lines of "let me know if you need further help with him". Please see this new IP: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:98.71.49.191 - as you can see from his talk page, he is acting just like this Tailsman, editing in all the same places, causing trouble all over, etc. I was wondering if you could help me with him again. (Pretty certain it's him, but if by chance he's not, this IP is still acting terribly by it's own merits.) Let me know. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 03:01, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Monster block?

Hi, Kevin. Would you be inclined to give this editor a little rap with your blocking stick? He doesn't edit heavily but when he does, he's incessantly removing inline refs (whether he thinks they're ugly or just unneeded, I don't know, as he never uses an edit summary) and adding changed peaks which fail to verify. Four examples are from 14 December 2011, 19 December 2011, and 22 December 2011 twice, all since I gave him a second last warning on his talk page. Maybe it's time to get his attention with a short block and let him know we seriously like WP:V? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:48, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Or how about a longer block, for block evasion? If this guy isn't Mikeeypee], I'll, I'll ... I'll eat an image of Muhammed. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 18:01, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Mikeeypee had a habit of deleting inline refs without comment, as did Mikeeymonster, whom you blocked as a sock. Now comes Mikeeymonster44, who just made a similar deletion. (The ref he deleted was broken, but all he needed to do was add the missing ">" and the ref would have supported the CAN peak. No edit summary, as usual.) — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 15:57, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Could you please take a look at Talk:Occupy Wall Street in the sections for Crime and for the page split.

I am not really worried about others, strictly myself. While the discussion has included another editor (making it three) that user has not really weighed in but simply made a comment (he took me to DR over a disagreement last week). Could you tell me where you think I have either gone wrong or should have done something differently? I will be making a request for a third opinion on the actual dispute so this isn't that.
