Are you choosing to ignore that apology? It's also not very nice to tell someone they are dead to you. Could you reply on [[User talk:DrummerMike|DrummerMike's talk]]? Stubbornness is not very kind and I'm sure you wouldn't take to kindly to that. |

Returnig Vandal
Hi, Thanks for blocking the new Ids of User:Pionier. Because he keeps coming back forever and forever, and vandalizes my user page as well, could you please grant me Rollback rights so I can revert him, and slow him down. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 15:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the Rollback grant. Maybe that will slow him down. History2007 (talk) 15:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
RE: Die So Fluid band page
Jayron, thank you for the quick response, I will have no trouble at all getting together articles of the band in large print magazines. However, I would like to ask if there would be anyway to get a copy of the old page that I can work with, rather than starting a whole new page. It would save time and allow me to build and edit on what others have started. Thank you again for all your help.

Peer review
Hi there! Back in January 2008, you took part in the peer review for the S Club article. Since then, there have been many major changes. I was wondering if you could take a look at it again and contribute to its new peer review. Thanks »—Mikay—talk—contribs→ 17:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Main Page redesign
The Main Page Redesign proposal is currently conducting a straw poll to select five new designs, before an RFC in which one will be proposed to replace the Main Page. The poll closes on October 31st. Your input would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks, PretzelsTalk! 12:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Well said on the help desk regarding the 3RR policy, I was thinking the same thing.--intraining Jack In 16:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
HOAX
Declined a speedy for a blatant hoax? No. Just no. This is misuse and abuse of Wikipedia. I am sick and tired of wonks letting "policy" trump common sense. A prod does not mean an article cannot be speedied if conditions warrant. In a case of a blatant hoax, conditions warrant. I am retagging as a hoax because IT IS A HOAX.

- Don't be an ass. DarkAudit (talk) 20:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the tone of your note did not itself engender a spirit of collaboration. It would be nice if, when you requested someone to review their actions, you carried yourself with an atmosphere of decorum and showed a friendlier and less combative tone. Given that you left a rather rude comment above, filled with vitriol and anger, I felt that my response was a measured and appropriate reminder to "lighten up" a little bit. In the future, if you don't want people to respond rudely to comments you make, consider your initial tone when you contact people. The tone you take in your communications will "set up" the tone of the response you receive. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 20:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello I have been working on this article about Abdul Wali Khan over the last 2+ years. It's recently been delisted as GA and I wanted your help to polish it up and aim for a FA. thanks Zak (talk) 20:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
New Article
Jayron, If you find a moment, please look at my article again, and let me know whether my references (article notability) are acceptable. I have managed to upload the article logo and will insert that via a box template on the page as soon as you give me go-ahead. Also, if article is ready, how do I move into main space? Thank you for your guidance, Carin CarinJohns (talk) 20:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism by 216.246.142.87
This is just to let you know that anonymous IP 216.246.142.87 has continued to vandalize articles (such as the edit to Police on 29 October) even though you and others gave this IP five vandalism warnings in October alone. Please block this IP if you think it's appropriate. Thanks. JTSchreiber (talk) 03:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, that IP is not active enough for a block to be effective at this time. Given that we only see edits about once every week, or even less frequently, a short 24 hour block will have zero effect at stopping anything. Additionally, we have no evidence that this is a "Static" IP. This could be, for example, a computer in a public location, or an IP assigned to a Wi-Fi service, where literally thousands of people have access to it. Given all of that, the act of blocking an IP where someone could come to do good things for Wikipedia, on the off chance that we might stop 2-3 vandalisms per week, does not seem all that beneficial to the project. If this, or any other IP, is currently vandalising, we will block them while they are in the act, or if there is better evidence than 3 days worth of vandalism in a month to show that they are a single-user, or a constant source of problems (and I wouldn't call 3 days in a month "constant") then we will take action. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for looking into it. JTSchreiber (talk) 02:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
New Article - Americas' SAP Users' Group
Hi Jayron, Thanks for your feedback although I must say you are a hard task master :) I had to swallow my pride and accept that my offering was "far from perfect", what a lesson in humility! Still, I sincerely appreciate all your help, would not have been able to figure it out this far by myself! I did as you instructed me to move the page to the main space, and I trust the page was moved, but would appreciate it if you could verify that the action was carried out successfully as I cannot find the page via Search and still see it on my sub user page where I built it? Much obliged, Carin CarinJohns (talk) 23:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Heyheygimmemore
You asked once before if Heyheygimmemore was Soccermeko, and I said that I didn't think so. It's confirmed that he isn't now: Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/MSoldi shows that he was a sock of Ohmygod1234. One of those weird cases where everyone turned out to be a sock except the account that made me fill out the report in the first place ... and I'm still suspicious that checkuser just missed him somehow.—Kww(talk) 12:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- So basically, there's a clusterfuck of editors who, while unrelated to each other, are busy creating lots of sockpuppet accounts to create hoax articles about R&B albums and songs that do not exist? Cuz essentially, it looks like at least THREE different persons are now doing this (Soccermeko, Msoldi, and Ohmigod1234). Wow, that makes this a mess, don't it? --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- And then there's Yoelmo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who is going down the same path, and came back unrelated. Looks like four to me. Actually, I think there's probably a dozen or more. Tracking this shit down is becoming a hobby. I'd appreciate your opinion on the two different versions of Autumn Goodbye (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Do you really think they are two unique article by two unique editors?—Kww(talk) 12:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure on Yoelmo. A google search turns up this: [1] though nearly ALL Of these bullshit references cite back to the original hoax article, so it is entirely possible that Yoelmo read these and created a new article based on these sources, not knowing that these sources themselves were based on a bullshit Wikipedia article originally. It may just be that Yoelmo was genuinely trying to create an article that he thought was legit, and stumbled into it... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- A loud quacking sound has reached my ears. Every creator of Interpersonal (Aliana Lohan Album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) got blocked today as a result of this RFCU. Within hours, MelissaSnider (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), an account which has been inactive for over two months, pops up and creates Interpersonal (Aliana Lohan album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (note the capitalization difference). I can see no reason to believe that this isn't another sock of Ohmygod1234. Care to block, or should I go back through checkuser again?—Kww(talk) 21:49, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Thank you for referring this user's Unblock request back to myself, as the blocking admin. I asked him a question, and was prepared to unblock the user. However subsequent conversations that have taken place on his talk page seem to tell me that he isn't interested in a co-operative advancement of the Wikipedia project, but in pushing his own brand of viewpoints on the encyclopaedia. Unfortunately, due to these continued conversations, I've denied his request. Canterbury Tail talk 12:35, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I denied his unblock request about 5 minutes before you did. I read his mess of a conversation, and arrived at the same conclusion you did. We don't need that at Wikipedia. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

- Hey, no problem. We all find our feet in our mouths at some point. I myself have grown quite used to the taste of my own shoes... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 00:18, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
hi , please help us
Dear Jayron, Thank you for your suggestion. Please help us to restore the page on our group. best regards, kishore patnaik (hyderabad) (talk) 15:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'd prefer to see Gwen's response on this before I act. I can help with the technical aspect of performing the restoration, but since she made the initial deletion, I will presently defer to her as to whether or not such a restoration is warrented. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 15:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I certainly appreciate your position but do you think she is acting in the best way possible? I think she is complicating the matters. kishore patnaik (hyderabad) (talk) 16:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- On the contrary, editorial courtesy demands that we assume good faith on her part, and that we don't needlessly undo each other's actions without seeking a wider opinion on the matter. Gwen seems firm on the issue, and I do not "outrank her". Remember that there is no rush to get this done now and rather than fighting over it, lets put it before the larger community to see what the general opinion is. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 16:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I agree with all this. But what would you think if you have to unbiasedly comment on the whole issue? She is firm not because of procedures and principles because she thinks I have not read the linke GIVEN by HER. This is, you will agree,only showing attitude and not a good adminship.
Please note that I am not contesting the act of deletion per se, but it is done in a hurry, without a discussion, in a unilateral fashion, when a hang on notice was given by me.
I am sure all this is not done in good faith but in a slipshod way, this is unfortunately, a power drunk act. This in fact seems very childish since deleting an article and refusing to reasonable suggestion of her colleague does not reflect a standard way of administration.
kishore patnaik (hyderabad) (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Please take a look at this, which was my response as soon as our article was kept on notice: Hi this is kishore patnaik ; why do you want to delete our page?
Hi,
Can you please tell us why you intend to delete page Ancientindia 1?
We clarify that the page here is not meant for advertisement because we do not encourage joining of laymen into the group, though we do not bar them, as it is a professional group. However, we believe in propagating about the group because we need support from people regarding the ideas of the group.
Mostly, the membership of the group is on invitation.
"AncientIndia" 2 is one of its kind, that a professional group has been started by a non professional member and in fact, we incessantly create content and send it to group members as well as several professionals for their comment.
Often it happens that we are INTRODUCING the professionals to the content and fruitful discussions follow such introduction.
hope this clarifies and we request you to kindly remove the speedy deletion tag.
regards,

Deletion of my userbox
Ok you have deleted one, care to explain where exactly I went wrong with that userbox? It was POV and this is allowed on user profiles, but I don't understand where I went wrong in violating any of wikipedia's policies with that userbox. Regards Ijanderson (talk) 18:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it makes a difference if you "just" sell the arms or put yourself on the line, I agree.

Geography / country outline project
Yes, I'd be glad to provide more details.
So far, 29 country outlines have been moved to article space (because they are complete enough to be useful to readers and because they don't have any blatantly erroneous info - some of the outlines have temporary data that is incorrect and which needs to be corrected before they can be moved). The outlines in article space are listed at Portal:Contents/Lists of basic topics#Geography and places.
Those are still incomplete, with some blanks that need to be filled, missing links to be added, redlinks go be turned blue (called "bluelinking", usually by creating a redirect for the link leading to the relevant information), and maps and images to be placed throughout. For examples of the most complete of the country outlines, see Topic outline of France and Topic outline of Japan.
Google comes in handy for finding relevant links on Wikipedia (using Google's site-specific search feature to search Wikipedia only).
The rest of the set (drafts) can be found at User:The Transhumanist/Country list.
I've been assigning tasks to anyone who is interested. For examples of the types of tasks this project entails, see Thehelpfulne's talk page - he's a very active member of the team and has tackled every task presented to him with endless energy and enthusiasm. His responses can be found on my talk page.
Please let me know if you are interested, and I'll be glad to assign you your first task.
Sincerely,
The Transhumanist 21:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

User Ebeing again
Hi Jayron32, I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but as you've helped out on this issue before I thought I'd give you the first shot, as I'm not quite sure what to do about the latest development.
This is regards Ebeing (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who you blocked for spamming. He/she was also vandalizing various pages by removing all external links and in one case removing an entire reference section. Well, I believe Ebeing has started doing the same again, but sock puppeting with his/her IP address, 72.91.101.162 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). I know it's Ebeing as when 72.91.101.162 posted something on my talk page to complain about the removal of a spam link, it was auto-signed by SineBot to say it was Ebeing.
Now this IP address has once again vandalized the External links section on Solar hot water by removing all external links. I personally believe these links were reasonable under WP:EL, but Ebeing has even removed the DMOZ link(!) so this isn't a good faith edit.
Thanks for any help you can give, Charlie Tango (talk) 20:02, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

WP:NPA
Please read up on WP:NPA and "Don't be a dick" Wikimedia essay for more information on how Wikipedia manages personal attacks:
- [A]dministrators are cautioned that other resolutions are preferable to blocking for less severe situations when it is unclear if the "conduct severely disrupts the project". Recurring attacks are proportionally more likely to be considered "disruption". Blocking for personal attacks should only be done for prevention, not punishment.
Trickrick1985 (talk) 02:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
There was only one personal attack, which had not to do with you and is not a blockable offense. Just to make sure you're kept in check I've created Requests for comment/Jayron32. You're encouraged to assume good faith in the future, as doing the opposite hurts the project. Trickrick1985 (talk) 03:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

That kind of privilege abuse will not go unnoticed. Because a policy gets violated doesn't give users or admins a license to harrass and mischaracterize another editor or their contributions.

Claudia Palacios vandalism
Jayron32, you helpfully one-month protected the article on Claudia Palacios after an obviously repeat vandal reappeared immediately after the one-week protection was lifted. The same vandal -- who apparently has a thing for irritable bowel syndrome -- has appeared yet again. I've reverted his/her latest two efforts over the last two days, but would you be so kind as to protect the article again, perhaps for a longer period? BTW, just before you imposed the one-month protection, I requested page protection but was told that one recent edit was not enough to reimpose page protection. You, on the other hand, were savvy enough to recognize that this was the same vandal. Jhw57 (talk) 15:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Re. my request for feedback
Thanks for your helpful recommendation that I add some independent sources to my references, which I now plan to do. Needless to say, I welcome any additional suggestions you may have.

I have now revised my initial article by adding more sources and references as well as some important scientific committee memberships, especially for the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), but perhaps that is superfluous as the article is not a CV.
I have still more I could add, especially references to many of my peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. Please let me know your editorial suggestions in this regard.
And, again, many thanks!

Persistent vandals
Thanks again for the prompt attention in removing the mess created by that repeat vandal on my discussion page, there is something that bugs me... since the vandals have so much free time on their hands, it makes me wonder about the kind of contribution they give to society as well as online communities such as Wikipedia. Such a shame for them to waste their time vandalizing when they could make a difference in life and towards the society. Heck, it never ceases to amaze me the kind of immature mentality that some human beings are willing to stoop so low to. Thanks and cheers again~! --Dave1185 (talk) 17:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Mark one for sanity
I was beginning to lose hope, so your exposure of the DavidYork71 sock hereis very heartening. A big Thank You! Would you mind going a step further, and undoing all his edits? He also caused a great deal of damage at Pederastic relationships in classical antiquity and many other articles. Or would you prefer that I go through his edits and fix the mess myself on a case by case basis? Haiduc (talk) 22:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I will deal with that. Would you mind checking out another (largely) single purpose account and (apparently) sock, also devoted to eroding pederasty-related topics? Thanks, --Haiduc (talk) 00:24, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Deleted page
Hey Jayron, would you be able to paste the contents of Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid to my talk page. Thanks a lot, 04:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Oh was it? That's okay then. I was just looking for a page on it, as it's a new book by Denis Leary and was just wondering if it was mistaken as an attack, but obviously not. Thanks anyways, Grsz11 →Review! 14:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Jayron. I took the liberty of adding your signature to this list. I hope that's alright. ---Sluzzelin talk 11:20, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Dead?
How did I make you look like an idiot, complete or otherwise? I corrected inaccurate info. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 18:21, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't bringing it up to poke the anon or demand public recognition for my education. At all; Crossmr had posted the info to suggest that I had lied about having multiple degrees when I had one, which is inaccurate. I corrected it. I didn't go any further than that, except to point out the pair of sources he used to state such were in fact the same diff, and did not contradict that which I have said all along. Let me reiterate: I only mentioned the educational info to clarify an incorrect representation of it, and not to seek recognition or advantage in any discussion.
- Even further, I have not brought up the subject of my educational background in an article discussion since being corrected on the etiquette of doing such in Wikipedia many months ago. Nor will I ever do so in the future. Please don't confuse me correcting a misreading with using that info to sway an argument in a discussion - it's why I separated off the paragraph and directed my comments to Crossmer specifically.
- Lastly, if I never have contact with the anon again, that will suit me just fine. Whether he is site banned ar interaction banned, I have no real preference, except to suggest that the latter will likely not work, as similar measures haven't proven successful in the past. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 19:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for understanding and your kind apology, Jayron. Perhaps I should have written it better. I am not expecting Crossmr to strike his words, but I had wanted to give him an opportunity to retract them, as they were incorrect - and he's been pretty neutral in this matter. I just didn't want the comment to sit unchallenged in an AN archive, and get tugged out when I eventually run for admin. This anon stuff has worn me out as well, esp. considering that the other person appears to be in my neck of the woods. I want it to go away. From the tone on the anon's usetalk page, I suspect it won't. Good editing to you, and if we do not interact before then, have a good triple holiday. :) - Arcayne (cast a spell) 20:08, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, the comments of the anon fairly point out that anything I post is going to be further rope with which to hang himself. You were right about that. No more comments from me on the topic. The anon is going to do whatever they want, no matter what we decide. Again, sorry this shit with him isn't long over. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 04:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
I know I'm not the most pleasant when dealing with disruptive editors, but I am thankful and gracious when someone goes out of their way to do something that benefits the 'pedia. I appreciate the headsup. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
