Hi Sandstein. Is Tuscumbia supposed to edit South Caucasus-related subjects? The primary restriction of AA2 included the region, which was the main reason Meowy was first primarily sanctioned for (the case was primarily launched after a conflict between an Iranian user and Atabek). Note also that Tuscumbia is editing very controversial subjects. For example, Temur Iakobashvili is a controversial figure implicated in the Ossetian and Abkhazian issues. He is also the co-founder of the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies, the largest think thank organization of the South Caucasus. The organization is very implicated in Armenia and Azerbaijan issues. - [[User:Fedayee|Fedayee]] ([[User talk:Fedayee|talk]]) 18:40, 18 February 2011 (UTC) |

Vandal
Hi Sandstein, this editor, Karfiol, is just going on an anti-Armenian and anti-Kurd rampage by removing every single mention of the Armenian Genocide or Armenian spelling on cities in Turkey. I think it's safe to say that he is not doing any of this out of good faith and so I think we need some intervention ASAP before he wreaks any more havoc. I asked Buckshot08 to look at it as well, since he banned an IP who was possibly Karfiol's sock. Thanks. Best,--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 18:21, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Blocked indef, large-scale disruption. Sandstein 18:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. I appreciate it; but would it be too much of a stretch to say that he just returned with a new account? This comment against me almost seems to confirm it.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 03:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- The sock has now been blocked by another admin. Sandstein 06:53, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Technical question
Hi Sandstein, I am working on an article, and I need to add a source. The source is here (the second in the list "Tense and Aspect in Sentence and Discourse", but when I open it, I see no URL. Could you please explain to me how to add this source to the article. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:49, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- The document has the URL http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.118.1692&rep=rep1&type=pdf. You can obtain this URL from the search result by right-clicking on the link in the list of search results and selecting "Copy URL", or an equivalent command, from your browser's context menu.

ARBPIA notifications
Hi, I'm not sure what the procedure is for requesting this, and this is not a request for arbitration enforcement - at least as far as I see it :)
Please would you provide User_talk:Israelish with a formal notification of WP:ARBPIA based on recent criticism of their editing in the topic area and their contributions in general which seem to involve the topic area quite often. I couldn't find their username in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Log of notifications
I would leave a notification myself, but it's my understanding it has to come from an administrator.
Thanks. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well, per Wikipedia:ARBPIA#Discretionary sanctions the warning need not be issued by an admin, so you can go ahead and use the {{uw-sanctions}} template. It seems appropriate under the circumstances. Sandstein 23:49, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. Done. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Topic ban
You topic-banned me almost two weeks ago (for two weeks), and I won't get to appeal it this week, so two questions:
1. Can I appeal the topic ban after it expires?
2. Can I appeal an earlier 3RR block at the same time as appealing the topic ban?
3. If successful, will they be both removed from my record?
Cheers Koakhtzvigad (talk) 10:25, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- 1. Nothing prevents you from doing so, but the appeal is likely to be declined as moot.
- 2. Likewise.
- 3. No. Block logs cannot be edited, and the ban will continue to be logged together with the outcome of any appeal. Sandstein 11:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- There would be something wrong with that wouldn't you say? Just because the ban happens to have expired does not mean its consequences are moot towards my reputation, since you confirm that its results are also recorded in the block logs. Surely then it should be declined based on evidence rather than on relevance to enforcement?
- I'm fairly sure based on evidence my appeal would be upheld.
- By the way, I hold no personal feelings towards your decision. Based on your activity logs you could not have given my case the time it deserved, and lacking procedural regulations, the outcome was in hind sight predictable.Koakhtzvigad (talk) 21:31, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- No, the ban (and any appeal thereof) is not recorded in the block log, only on the arbitration case page. Apart from that, well, you're entitled to your opinion. I see no point in discussing this further. Sandstein 21:36, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi from Peter
Hi Sandstein. I made [1] this edit] to WP:FLAT, an article I substantially created a few years ago. Also various edits to the talk page of Fads and fallacies in the name of science. As I am editing from an IP, is that OK? I don't approve of socking, i.e. editing without making my identity clear. I hope that's OK, please don't revert important contributions to the project, as you have before. Regards User:Peter Damian.
- You are banned and may not edit Wikipedia for any reason. Accordingly, all your edits are reverted. Sandstein 11:43, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Close an RfC?
Hey Sandstein,
I'm looking for an uninvolved admin to review an RfC we've had on Elizabeth II. I'm mulling over bringing this topic to informal mediation, and wanted to get a third opinion before doing so. If you have a moment to look over, comment, and close the RfC, I'd be most grateful.
I'm running this request by you Ludwigs2, and SlimVirgin.
Thanks, NickCT (talk) 15:05, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
