Renewed edit war at List of Adventure Time with Finn and Jake episodes
Hello. You closed this 3RR report as stale, and indeed it was. User:Ruin Cireela remained off line for several days after the report was closed. That user appears to be back, though, restoring the previously reverted text to List of Adventure Time with Finn and Jake episodes three more times on 29 April ([1], [2], [3]). Unlike last time, an IP user has reverted these changes, though I haven't checked to see if that IP address might be linked to User:AdventureTime, the other participant the last edit war. Cnilep (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Reverted again: [4]. Cnilep (talk) 16:15, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Protected for 3 days. Looks like there's a TP discussion ongoing so I'm not quite minded to block right now. Tim Song (talk) 16:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I haven't really paid attention to the content of the edit warring. I hope the discussion will work it out. Cnilep (talk) 17:02, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

fyi
you tagged Bagdadjenny rather than User:Bagdadjenny, and also the three others. 66.57.1.7 (talk) 06:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, how did I manage to do that?! Fixed, and tags applied to the correct pages. Consider the fish eaten. Thanks! Tim Song (talk) 06:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Do you remember this guy? He was wikihounding me, primarily through and you did an IP block[5]. He is back again, wikihounding me through the same article List of Blood+ characters and with the same behaviors he showed before. I've reported that IP for blocking and the article for protection, but he's already hit it on two IPs, so wondering if another range block might be good? Really disturbing that he is continuing this mess over a month later.... -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 08:50, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Make that three IPs. Before the AIV could be reviewed by a second admin, he changed IPs again.[6] The third has been blocked by an admin reviewing my RPP request for the page. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 10:37, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Kissle Questions
Hi, Tim (First) just wanted to let you know I Love Kissle, I also have AWB and Huggle but Kissle is my definite favorite. Ok now to my questions, how do I "load" an article into Kissle or how do I make Kissle look at a specific article ? Second is there ever going to be a "User" Userbox for Kissle ? Thanx. Mlpearc MESSAGE 16:32, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- There's currently no way to "Load" an article, since it is designed to patrol newly created pages, and not specific pages (it would be easy to implement that, but could you give me a scenario related to NPP that requires it?). For userbox, see User:Tim Song/User Kissle. Tim Song (talk) 16:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Well my scenario doesn't have anything to do with NPP. I will be working on existing articles using Link Classifier. It would be nice to send the page through Kissle first before jumping in on prose. Thanx for the Userbox I'll wear it proud ! (if you do "incorporate loading" of Kissle my hopes are, you could message me.) Mlpearc MESSAGE 19:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Tim I spent hours writing up the lists. Can you please undelete it. I made a list to match up with the charts for the list of Video Game Publishers and Video game developers, except the list is for Film companies. I just didn't know how to word it. Ideally, it should be listed as Film Distributors and Film Production Companies.

"Massive template breakage"
Hi Tim,
just FYI: WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Massive template breakage
Cheers, Amalthea 09:47, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Meh. Oh well, it seems that whenever I mass rollback something, it's bound to go wrong... :( Tim Song (talk) 18:53, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- No harm done, just much ado about nothing. What I've written on Daedalus's talk page is probably true though, if this had taken a quick spin through ANI the additional eyes would probably have helped. But I of course know the dilemma when something needs (or seems to need) quick action to prevent the mess to get even bigger. :)

Need you to take a look at this
Hello, I need you to look trough a SPI. Its very important that you read through everything. From the beginning to the end. [7]
Then, what I would like is a comment from you on the last part of the evidence, where I point out this edit. The fact that after exclusively using the NT account to back AC on several articles for 7-8 months, (considering everything I have pointed out in the evidence) the NT account then contacts ACs sock before it was revealed that AC controlled it and "asks" him to go to the article. How can this have been a coincidence? Can you take a look at the evidence? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 10:26, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Can you reply to this? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 10:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Unrelated checkuser finding, especially when a CU has been ran on the suspected sockmaster twice at different times and did not found a connection with the alleged sock. I don't know if the evidence here is sufficient, and I'll be very busy in the next couple of weeks, so I probably won't have enough time to give this case the full review it requires. You might want to ask someone else. Tim Song (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- I know, and I believe that if you carefully read through everything you will see that the evidence is compelling. Admin moonriddengirl said it looked quacky and that I should open a SPI, admin Shirik now said that the evidence is pretty compelling but since he is relatively new to SPI he wont act on it:[8]. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:15, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Timmy Polo
Hi Tim. I was told you were familiar with this case. I've been blocking a few socks of Timmy Polo recently. Your reason for his original block was "block evasion". That implies to me that he's not the sockmaster, but rather just another sock. Do you know who the sockmaster is? Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 20:53, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

WP:NPA
Hi Tim Song. Could you please take a look at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Ahmed_shahi. Despite 2 complaints at WP:ANI, admins seem to ignore the extremely disruptive behavior of Ahmed shahi (talk · contribs) as well as his POV pushing, various violations of Wikipedia rules, as well as constant insults and name-callings against other users. (Just a note: it was not me this time who reported him). Thank you. Tajik (talk) 22:44, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- The reason why admins seem to ignore the report is because they are smart and have realized that I'm innocent of the false charges you and editor Ariana310 are accusing me of. I suggest you two stop harrasing me. User:Tajik has said to Ariana310 "Ahmed shahi is a waste of time..."

Sironta Article
Hello Tim, I would like you to review your decision about the Sironta article (Discussion)(Article). In my opinion:
1. I accept the decision of closing Sironta page, but I believe that non-objective factors have contributed to the initial decision and I cannot be agree with them.
2. The fact, however, to not consider relevant references provided, I must say that this references have passed a comprehensive peer-review by international specialists and have been endorsed by the European Comission's own decision, so this is a decision that I cannot agree, even calling into question the objectivity of self-evaluation criterion. The long extension of some of these references is not a serious or sufficiently objective criterion.
I believe that in Sironta's case a discrimination has been committed, because the objectivity of the arguments is not evident. I would like to understand, therefore, the differences between my article and articles such as Huddle or Collanos to enjoy the same benefits. The case of Huddle, a computer application with a clear commercial orientation, represents a clear example of this lack of argument uniformity or consistency.
3. Finally, I appreciate the fact that the inclusion of Sironta in the 'List of free and open source software packages' is considered useful, as well as other lists of related software.
I hope you find my explanations useful. Thank you. -- Marj9543 (talk) 11:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Other stuff exists is not a good argument; the general agreement in that discussion is that there's not enough independent sources to establish notability; without independent sources it is impossible for us to establish a neutral point of view. Tim Song (talk) 00:38, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
AE Ban violations by TheDarkLordSeth
Greetings Tim Song. As the subject AE was closed by your participation, I'd like to inform you, that the ruling of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive60#TheDarkLordSeth was at least 4 times violated by user:TheDarkLordSeth. He was warned the first time by User:KillerChihuahua and no sanctions were enforced, but failed to commit after.
1st: [9],
Warning: [10] "Violation of topic ban",
2nd: [11] "You might be interested"
3rd: [12] where on its turn he was warned again,
4th: [13] "Question".
Considering the multiple violations of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive60#TheDarkLordSeth and 2 warnings after which the editor still continues his actions, please take appropriate measures, the choice of which are entrusted to you. Sincerely, Aregakn (talk) 20:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Nine Racing, Inc.
Hi, Tim,
I'm new to Wikipedia and I do not wish to cause any offenses because I sure respect the process. It looks like you deleted the Wikipedia entry I made on Nine Racing, Inc. because it was promotional. This is a truly historic race team where such great American drivers as Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne first captured national attention. The team won 10 USAC National Midget Championships.
But the team also has remained open currently as an arrive-and-drive kind of program, which is probably where the promotional problem occurred.
Any advice? The team deserves mentioning in any record of great racing in the past 30 years. You can mention Nine Racing to Roger Penske or Tony George, and believe me, they know what you're talking about.
Should I recreate the page and reduce the copy about Nine Racing's current state where it is available to help young drivers get a ride and get properly coached?

Request to reconsider the deletion for the article "eFront_eLearning_Software"
Hello,
I would kindly request to reconsider the deletion of the article http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/EFront_%28eLearning_software%29 This article did not produce enough negative votes and at the end of the day it was one's people opinion over the other. I would suggest to read the discussion or have another administrator consider the arguments and facts presented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Papagel (talk • contribs) 08:54, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Gospel of the Hebrews and "Ari& Friends"

- Yes, you have run into serious problems. You insist on placing POV content and let fringe sources dominate an article. Your rogue attempts at having the article reflect the idiosyncracies of your personal opinion has been disrupted by multiple editors. They have stated their reasons, and requested you discuss them on the talk page. Maybe backup things with why we are to let a fringe theory dominate the article, or why you personally get to rate a bibliography of what is best.
- This has been explained to you on talk pages and my own talk page. Crying wolf because your personal opinion isn't allowed to dominate doesn't seem to be the best cause of action. Maybe semi-protection of the article is in order? --Ari (talk) 01:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Userification of the deleted article eFront (elearning software))
Since the deletion review is only responsible for an administrator's mal-practice (and not the debate itself) I would like to ask for a userfication of the following deleted article eFront (eLearning software) so I can improve it regarding notability and neutrality.

CU?
What's the deal with checkuser? You declined my request, which is cool, but I didn't really understand what twinkle was asking me. I did two SOCK noms today, one with and one without the option. Can you explain to me when I should use what? Thanks. — Timneu22 · talk 17:49, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- The general rule is to ask for checkuser iff (1) there's some evidence of sockpuppetry (or it would be a fishing expedition), but (2) not enough to block outright (otherwise it's a waste of the checkuser's time). Don't worry too much about it, though, since with the clerks and everything, the time cost of an improper checkuser request is quite small. Tim Song (talk) 19:19, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

AN/I
Can you please tell me why you removed my AN/I complaint?Malke2010 23:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- Double forumshopping? Starting a new thread at ANI with exactly the same content after a previous one has been closed is forumshopping. Posting to ANI when the situation was already being dealt with by admins is also forum shopping. Tim Song (talk) 13:27, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- I was not forum shopping. I was collecting diffs for the AN/I when Gwen Gale blocked me. I should not have been blocked. She claimed I made a 'wanton personal attack' but then retracted that and unblocked me. I then went to the AN/I but it was closed for forum shopping. This is a legitimate AN/I. I did not go to multiple admins. I asked Jimbo Wales to delete the improper block from my record. I did not ask him to deal with RepublicanJacobite. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] He should be blocked for this behavior.Malke2010 13:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, you were. You posted to ANI (and AN - that is forumshopping by itself) apparently because you did not like what Gwen Gale (talk · contribs) did w/r/t RJ and wanted someone to block him for it; moreover, when an ANI thread is closed, you don't just start a new thread with exactly the same matter. Honestly, have a cup of tea, drop the stick, stop beating the carcass, and move on, please. Tim Song (talk) 13:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

- I don't, and if he continues now that he's been warned I'll block him myself. The point is that nothing productive is coming out of this, and it's best to move on now and do something productive. Tim Song (talk) 14:09, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk page advice
Hi I was unblocked today after being blocked for being suspected of sock puppeting, and I was wondering if I am allowed to remove the messages on my talk page about the block because I like to have my talk page rather empty so it's easier to find new messages. Please could you tell me if I am allowed to delete the messages about being blocked? Thanks Tomdresser27 (talk) 13:23, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

SPI clerk
Hello, Tim Song. I am interested in becoming an SPI clerk. Would you please coach me? Thanks, ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 01:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hey there NerdyScienceDude. After discussing this with some other clerks we have decided that, at this time, it would probably be best if you were not to take up clerking at SPI. We've recently had an influx of new trainee clerks, meaning that we haven't got a lot of full clerks who are able to train new clerks, and we have plenty of hands around (although your continued assistance at SPI is greatly appreciated). In addition to this, there are some concerns over whether you can fit into the machismo atmosphere at SPI, can you really stand the hazing you will be subjected to by Nathan? Are you willing to polish Tiptoety's boots everyday till he can see his face shining in them? I think that you will really struggle to come up to standard in these regards, and for that reason, I'm out. Tim Song (talk) 14:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Tim Song. Thanks for the thoughts. On the other hand, Elockid stated on my talk page that I would a fine clerk. Could you link me the discussion you had with some other clerks? Thanks, ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 19:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- It was on #wikipedia-en-spi connect. Tim Song (talk) 19:49, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

- I'm not posting the logs; suffices it to say that I discussed this with two other full clerks and they agree. We are rather short on full clerks right now. Tim Song (talk) 20:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks anyway. I don't think I can polish Tiptoety's boots yet, but I might be able to in the future. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 20:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Tim, could you have yourself or some other admin deal with the edit warring at the Gospel of the Hebrews 96.22.215.70 (talk) 19:23, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Tim thanks for protecting the page. Why did you restore all of Ari's edits and delete all of mine? Were my edits that bad? I am a little shaken. I has hoped you would restore the version at the beginning of May before the edit war began. A Humbled editor. 96.22.215.70 (talk) 20:01, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Tim. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Britney Spears doll was closed as redirect by Mono (talk · contribs) despite there being a lack of consensus to do so. I have since undone the redirect, expanded the article, and added references. Should the AfD closure be undone and relisted, or should it be left as is? Cunard (talk) 05:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- Since redirects can be undone editorially anyway I don't see a problem leaving it as is for now; not much point forcing an AfD. I agree that Mono should not have closed that discussion. Tim Song (talk) 06:02, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll leave the AfD as is, but this is a recurring incident. This user has inappropriately closed/relisted discussions on multiple occasions. We each gave him a note at User talk:Mono/Archive 8#Continued. This week, I asked him to undo the close at User talk:Mono#Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Britney Spears doll but he seemed not to notice it. At the end of last month, Mono's relists/closures were brought up at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive610#Relisting at AfD, but he hasn't seem to have changed. Of his recent relists, several (1, 2, 3, and 4) are questionable. Other users and I can't seem to convey to him that his inactions are inappropriate, so would an RfC be appropriate? Cunard (talk) 06:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- None of these four should have been done by a non-admin; ANI or RFC/U is your choice. I'm willing to certify an RFC, but IMO this might be simple enough for ANI. Tim Song (talk) 01:46, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- What should I ask for in the ANI report? Perhaps editing restrictions so that the user is restricted from relisting/closing AfDs? Cunard (talk) 05:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've invited Mono to this page to see if he will agree to a voluntary restriction on relisting/closing AfDs. I hope this issue can be resolved without the need to bring it to the drama board. Cunard (talk) 07:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

←There is absolutely no need for this to escalate. I am willing to do training for closing AfDs.--moɳo 16:07, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- You still don't get it: there's no training for NACs because it's not something for which training is worth it (I certainly got zero training back when I was NAC'ing stuff). The whole point of NACs is that it saves admins time by getting the noncontroversial stuff out of the way; if that time is spent training people instead there's not much purpose to NACs in the first place. If you can't close AfDs appropriately, then don't do it. Otherwise you generate even more work for admins who have to review all of your closes. Tim Song (talk) 16:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- I see.--moɳo 18:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- Since you understand now, will you refrain from closing/relisting AfDs? Cunard (talk) 02:33, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- I will excersise extreme caution when closing AfDs, closing only AfDs with clear consensus. If I close an AfD (I won't for a while), I will ask an admin to review, open to any kind of revert.--moɳo 16:04, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- If the closure must be reviewed by an admin, no time is saved by you closing it. As Tim said above, "The whole point of NACs is that it saves admins time by getting the noncontroversial stuff out of the way; if that time is spent training people instead there's not much purpose to NACs in the first place. If you can't close AfDs appropriately, then don't do it. Otherwise you generate even more work for admins who have to review all of your closes."Because you have demonstrated that you cannot distinguish between clear and unclear AfD closes (as evinced by your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Britney Spears doll), and because you have inappropriately relisted articles despite being asked not to, you should not be closing/relisting any more AfDs. Cunard (talk) 15:20, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify, are you including me in the 3RR violators? I (think) I have made every attempt to compromise/meet Nutrieg's concerns, but have been blind reverted several times [i.e. from multiple different versions]. The same was true about the others. Yes, we each did a couple reverts, but for the most part we attempted to satisfy Nutrieg whereas he just reverted indiscriminately. As far as I know, that means Nutrieg is the only one edit warring. However, if you think I did something wrong (or am otherwise mistaken), please let me know so that I can handle the situation better next time something like this happens. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:30, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- A revert, for 3RR purposes, is defined as any edit...that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part. In this case at a minimum [25], [26], [27], and [28] are four reverts within a 24 hour period; that it was not blind reverting, and that he user seems to be edit warring against consensus, are factors in mitigation (so if I did block, that might make it, say, 12 hours for you and 72 hours for them), but there's no consensus-enforcement exemption to 3RR, and IMO it would be best to simply request protection early and avoid the prospects of a block altogether. Tim Song (talk) 20:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. This is not an area I have much experience in, so I guess I was simply mistaken about the definition of edit warring. I certainly would have brought it to attention sooner, but was unaware of the extent of reverts until I made the report (my bad for not checking that sooner). I'll seek PP next time, as per your suggestion. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:56, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Nutrieg has flat-out refused to discuss the matter any further: "I won't discuss ongoing news or keep explaining how bad is your interpretation." and implied he will continue the edit war as soon as the protection ends: "See you on Monday." (See talk)). Assuming he doesn't mellow between now and Monday, what would you suggest as a next course of action? --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- If they do continue, I'll block them myself, and it won't be short. Tim Song (talk) 23:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again... I happened to notice an article that needed some improvement while looking at Nutrieg's recent edits. I made what was clearly a productive edit and was promptly reverted by him. Would you mind giving him a stiff warning about his behavior, or should I take it to ANI? (Incidentally, it looks like he gets into edit wars because of OWNership issues on a regular basis.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Now threatening to escalate. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- FYI, I have made one final attempt to disengage. I doubt he'll pay any attention, but maybe a note from a third party can get through to him. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Nutriveg choose to take it to ANI, despite my attempt to disengage, so reply here is probably not necessary. The thread, in case you care to comment. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:29, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- I support ThaddeusB to the hilt. If you see the history or the talk page (and the RS noticeboard) it is quite clear that Nutv... 1. lied about was said on the on te noticeboard, and then 2. violated 3RR TWICE. We tried to engage and discuss it he seem to think only his opinion is right. I engaged him first on his talkpage and then in the discussion yet he demands his way be met even though the noticeboard discussion has NOT come to a conclusion on either of the 3 controversial we still altered our edits.
- Consider the history, talkpage and noticeboard to see who was in the wrong. It is on the verge of vandalism.
- At any rate, instead of removing the sources he could improve on it or tag it. isn't there wikipedia's recommendation?Lihaas (talk) 01:29, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Steve and his dog Blue
Hi Tim, I saw that you blocked an anonymous IP after I AVPed him/her after vandalizing either Blue's Clues or Steven Burns, I forget which. See, the reason I forget which is because in the past few days, I've reverted those two articles so much, I can't keep them straight. I mean, it is the start of summer break, so the kiddies are coming out full force to attack poor Steve and Blue. I was wondering, then, if you wouldn't mind protecting these articles, at least temporarily. Personally, I'd like to see them protected permanently, but I understand the hesitation. Most of the time, they're pretty stable, but the kiddies like to mess with them when they have time on their hands, and eventually, it always dies down when they find more productive ways to spend their school vacations. I'd just like the temporary protection to make my busy life easier, and to forestall the kiddies. Thanks so much for your consideration in this matter! --Christine (talk) 04:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Tim, my man! I see that you have done this! Thanks, you rock. I'm sure that Blue would give you a big, slobbery kiss. ;) --Christine (talk) 06:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I think Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability/Main Page/Screenshots is a valid part of the history of Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability, even though the images themselves are gone.

Page protection
Good morning.... can you please protect the article Demographic history of Bačka until the conflict me + Wladthemlat vs Hobartimus + Outesticide is solved?
There is an old conflict that transfers from a page to another: [30] [31]
I will try to sum it all up :
- The problem is about inserting in the article the sourced data sbout the censuses from 1715 and 1720 which present an overwhelming majority of the Serbs over Hungarians
- The Hungarian users refuse to add these data to he article, claiming that they are not reliable (personal opinion unsupported by a source) and organized in september 2007 a vote about the reliability of these census data, even if the data are confirmed by academic sources User:Fcsaba (Hungarian editor), User:Hobartimus (Hungarian editor), UseR:PaxEquilibrium (Montenegro editor), User:Rjecina (Croatian editor) (so not even an user from Serbia, the country the area belongs to)
- In present Me, User:Wladthemlat, User:PANONIAN contest this vote and the argument of the supportees of not inserting data from these censuses is that themselves consider History declared them unreliable (without showing a source, so it is just a personal POV)
- In conclusion, does an opinion of a certain user from WP override an academic source? (MarekSS (talk) 06:13, 28 May 2010 (UTC))
- Seems to have stopped for now. Tim Song (talk) 15:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
