:On this users 3rd day of posting they edited 24 times. The day afterwards (when I'd pointed out how suspicious the pattern was), there were two edits, then a break of a day, then 2 more edits. I think I scored a goal, without involving anyone else. The user has taken to heart what I said and behaviour to policy has been improved. Of course, it's always possible I hit on a real abuser, who will learn lessons from this occasion and return with more cunning. But I've succeeded in putting them to a lot of trouble, while avoiding it for us. I think you should applaud my action! [[User:PalestineRemembered|PalestineRemembered]] 11:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC) |

do you have a problem with that bitch Defjamrules 02:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Aindrias Ó Caoimh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}}
to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Darkwind (talk) 08:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- I noticed this article removal and wondered if this was the Irish Attorney General. I would have though him a notable Irish person. ww2censor 17:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- This guy was/is an Irish High Court Judge and is currently a judge of the European Court of Justice, or is listed on the wikipedia ECJ page as a member.Rigger30 15:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Main Page Deletion
Once again, it's Kareem Sandy. Seeing as my beautifully written autobiography was hastily deleted, I'd assume that User:Defjamrules will have his deleted also?
Kareem Sandy, August 22, 2007, 7:40 pm, et cetera...... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KareemSandy (talk • contribs) 23:40, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
- I haven't seen any such autobiography. Not in article space, anyway. If you have, and you think it doesn't meet WP:BIO, then by all means tag it for deletion. If you're talking about his user page, that's subject to a different set of rules. The page you wrote which was tagged for deletion was in the main article space, not a user page.
- Incidentally, to properly format your signature so SineBot doesn't come along and tag it anyway (like it did above), just use ~~~~ where you want your signature to go. --Darkwind (talk) 23:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you...
...for taking the time to mediate the issue. THF 00:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome. I'll be keeping an eye on the WQA page for responses in case some further assistance is needed. --Darkwind (talk) 00:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I will finish filling in the evidence in a few days. It is quite a workload to look at those history records, to write properly extracted paragraphs down, to translate the ancient records into modern timing system and to translate everything into proper English. FYI, I was trying to be cool, but whenever there is an argument with the user Cydevil38 who caused all these troubles, he will throw out some google search links and then disappears into the dark, until he suddenly appears in an article and does the same thing again. He has repetitively done this kind of things for several times. See Image talk:Goguryeo-Relations-inEnglish.jpg for an identical example, i.e., he inserts some spurious contents or puts some spurious labels, then disappears. In the talk page, he may quote some spurious wikipolicies (referred by name, but never by original wikipolicy contents, of any wikipolicy). When technical contents are concerned, he is a one-liner, which saves his own efforts, but easily reverts proper contents. I have monitored his contributions for a long time. This guy's major efforts are spent in every editing war involved with Korea (e.g., Liancourt Rocks, Sea of Japan, Goguryeo, Manchuria). There are negligible wiki contributions from this guy. Besides, all reliable sources (i.e., canonical history records) I put in the talk pages so far cannot enter the related articles' main contents because he can easily delete my editing every time, just like what happened in Goguryeo and Wandu Mountain City.--Jiejunkong 04:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
A fix: Liancourt Rocks and Sea of Japan should be removed from the above list because I remember that User:Lions3639 and User:Davidpdx participated in the related editing wars. And Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Lions3639 once confirmed that User:Lions3639 and User:Davidpdx are sockpuppets of Cydevil38. But I forgot that the confirmation was cancelled when I wrote down the above paragraph.--Jiejunkong 07:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
POV fork of Hwando (fortress) from Wandu Mountain City
The article Hwando (fortress) created by User:Cydevil38 today could be a POV fork of Wandu Mountain City. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hwando_(fortress).--Jiejunkong 05:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
My "third opinion" request on Gothiscandza
You were right, there was no discussion on Talk:Gothiscandza#Madison Grant's map. My opponent limits himself to being rather incoherent in the edit summeries. What is the appropriate course of action in such a case? /Pieter Kuiper 18:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, 3o is primarily intended for helping users who are already engaged in discussion with each other come to a happy ending via an outside neutral opinion. We can't help if there's no interaction at all. You may need to open an RFC/U, especially if the other user is engaged in disruptive editing on other articles as well; or you could request page protection for Gothiscandza if he's exceeded the 3RR rule. Actually, if he's over the 3RR limit, you can report him to WP:AN/3RR. Hope that helps. --Darkwind (talk) 21:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Third Opinion Clarification
Hi. Thanks so much for the clarification and direction. While I have used WP for a while, in many respects I am a newbie and appreciate the feedback. Thanks again. --Igoldste 20:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
M.U.L.E.
Thank you for your third opinion [1]. Please review my response when you have a free moment. Blackbeard2k7 22:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- BLACKBEARD2K7 is propagating links to his personal website/forum (now indirectly) where he is offering for download illegally pirated copyrighted software. I have deleted the offending link from the M.U.L.E. page. This is a very serious attempt by BLACKBEARD2K7 to spam his illegal software.

Dlabtot accused of being a sock
User:Dlabtot arrived on a page where I take an interest and made several edits "of which I probably approve".
Unfortunately, for reasons you may be aware of, I'm hyper-attuned to the possibility of socks at the moment. Checking this new Users contributions, they looked highly suspicious. Supposedly, the edit summary "No, the UN does not describe claims of a massacre as 'baseless', in fact the word baseless does not appear in the report." comes from an editor on his 10th edit on the first day he's registered (or possibly 2nd day depending on time zones).
I was concerned that this was a genuine editor come back as a sock-puppet instead of waiting for a block to expire. (Alternatively, it might be an existing POV editor creating some cunning two-faced sock, though that wasn't very likely).
Anyway, I didn't think an immediate investigation and block was needed, I'd just warn them that the behaviour was very suspicious. Receiving only bluster in response (very unlike a new editor) I pressed the point, though still politely with reason given.
I may have been doing the wrong thing, perhaps trying to help an abuser of the system to slip under the radar? But it's absurd to suggest it was a PA. Newbys are frequently posted far more aggressive and unfriendly baffling accusations of WP:OR, WP:POV etc etc. than what I'd done.
I have a question for you - there is an editor who goes round making a real nuisance of himself with garbled warnings on people's UserPages, he's been sanctioned for it before. Have you got a suggestion by which I can do a "whack-a-mole" on him? PalestineRemembered 07:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- "Part 2" - I've looked at your alternate solution of using SSP established process. But I don't think it's useable in this case. I've no idea who the "sock-master" might be and it doesn't matter, I'm not calling for an investigation, I'm not seeking preventative action against culprits. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with an experienced user coming back under a different name. However, the behaviour in this case was suspicious, and passing editors who notice it are entitled (I'd have supposed) to politely query what's going on. I should have had an explanation (perhaps previous name too close to real name, harrassment etc).
- On this users 3rd day of posting they edited 24 times. The day afterwards (when I'd pointed out how suspicious the pattern was), there were two edits, then a break of a day, then 2 more edits. I think I scored a goal, without involving anyone else. The user has taken to heart what I said and behaviour to policy has been improved. Of course, it's always possible I hit on a real abuser, who will learn lessons from this occasion and return with more cunning. But I've succeeded in putting them to a lot of trouble, while avoiding it for us. I think you should applaud my action! PalestineRemembered 11:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
