Hi; we are getting this evening a whole series of new, and of course unacceptable, usernames including the name "Jesus Christ", one of which you just blocked; I have blocked three earlier on. Are we looking at a sockpuppet attack? And if you think so, would a checkuser inspection of these names be of benefit? I have only been an admin for two months, please don't shout at me.--[[User:Anthony.bradbury|Anthony.bradbury]] 22:25, 9 June 2007 (UTC) |
Revision as of 22:25, 9 June 2007
I AM BARELY HERE - I CANNOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.
- I am new to editing Wikipedia, and you are the only editor that has been kind to me. I am editing James W. Holsinger biography, and would like to change the title to James W. Holsinger, Jr. since his father was also a general in the army. He also has a strange page associated (redirect?) called James Holsinger which does not update as quickly. Thank you for your help and apology about the picture, it was refreshing. --Maryrebecca 12:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Just as a comment
Funny you'd say that[1], on the page for name change, because I was quite literally harassed into disappearing (and while disappearing, which is what you witnessed, and I'm sure I'll be harassed after disappearing, but the damage will be limited, after you change my name). There WAS no other option, given the circumstances. I've been on this board for over 2 years, and I contributed quite a bit. But these guys have nothing to do all day but troll and make problems, and if the administrators can't see that then fine. One suggested I appeal the the Wikimedia Foundation, and that's what I'm doing. I am reasonably sure they will see the point. Someone else can write the page; a government, the UN, some experts. I'll talk to people. This is a legitimate organization, and it (and I) has been the victim of a cluster-mob-gang-bang. The guy who started (and continued) the harassment, The Behnam, it is a troublemaker who has been on Wiki for about 4 months, he's been banned twice in that time, and gets in edit wars daily. He he followed me after I told him off on a woman's rights site (ok, I generalized his overfocus on that woman's rights site with sexim, and his nationality, which was uncalled for, but done is done). Then he started suggesting the government sponsored organization I founded get pulled down. I wasted about 3 days of my time, and I have much better things to waste it on! Thanks in advance for your help.
Taking my Name off the AfD page
Speaking of the above, I'm trying VERY HARD to get my name off this page here[2], and here[3]. These people consider my erasing my name to be vandalism. They don't respect the Right to Disappear, and claim it isn't a policy. Well, please can you erase my name. These people don't know the meaning of respect, and the administrators haven't heeded my vandalism reports when they put it back up. Thanks in advance.

User: Deletion.
Secretlondon, Since you can't change my user name, can you all delete my account then? Whoever that hacked into my account over the time, must've knowed me really well, to know my e-mail, and signing it to articles.
My privacy and ANI
Hello, I really understand your frustration. The issue is not content dispute but revealing my full name and other details when such information can potentially lead to my death. You may not be aware of the reality of Sri Lanka so it might look like an outlandish issue. No one can undersatnd all issues so as an admin just take a look at the situation. I pursue to have my personal information deleted from Wikipedia and it is done. There is a error in a sup page as I think just blanking it deletes the information but it does not. An admin in a content dispute finds that error and uses it to his advantage thus by publishing my full name and other details. Is that acceptable beahviour by an admin ? Taprobanus 23:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- If you want information removed from a deleted page you need to contact someone with oversight responsiblity. An admin alone can't do that. See WP:OVERSIGHT and Wikipedia:Requests_for_oversight. There are no such things as "senior admins". If you have a dispute with an admin you can use our dispute resolution procedures. A long rambling battle on AN/I doesn't work - and won't be read by anyone (to be honest). Secretlondon 06:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks as suggested I will next take it to rfc on user conduct. Thanks Taprobanus 00:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Username block
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for unblocking my username. So: thanks! :) Jack the Stripper 12:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Username Change
Hi, Secret, just wanted to know whether I should just re-request a username change to a username that does not yet exist, unlike Category Mistake, which I created for the namechange by mistake. Or will my present name change be completed? - Barometer Rising 13:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry I've had net problems. I'll do in a sec. Secretlondon 20:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Bot flag
Any chance you could grant a bot flag to the approved bots at WP:RFBOT#Approved_Requests? Thanks -- pb30<talk> 21:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sure. Secretlondon 21:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't actually see the Mass in this photo. Am I missing something? Marnanel 14:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's is (well was) a venue called The Mass that was a converted church. It's now called something else. Secretlondon 14:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. Thanks. Marnanel 16:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Consented to usurpation
Just wanted to draw your attention to this usurpation request at the bottom of the list. The target account has edits but had announced they were leaving the project. Someone who wanted the username emailed them to ask for it and the target account has surprisingly responded and consented.
Also, if you're have a moment with the right account, there are a few approved Bots waiting for flags at WP:RBA#Approved_Requests. WjBscribe 04:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Bots seem okay. Will look at others later Secretlondon 12:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Question about the bot
I am almost done the rename detect/report bot. When there is no rename found in the log, do you want the bot to show a visible message stating that there is no logged renames, or should it only post when it finds one?
3 reasons I can think of posting anyways:
- So you know the bot has already examined that request.
- Even if I don't put a visible message, I will need to put a <!-- Comment --> so my bot can know it has already examined that request.
- Not all renames are shown in the log(I think this is the case)
The bot is looking good, it will check the rename log for change ever 20 minutes(adjustable), and check WP:USURP and WP:CHU every 5 minutes(also adjustable).
Here is an example of the output: User:H/sandbox. The unicode characters are screwed up in that example, but that will not be a problem when the bot is posting directly. Of course the sig will be that of the bot, not mine. See "Wikihermit" and "Beneaththelandslide" for examples of users who has a rename.
If there are multiple renames they will be shown as newest <- newer <- new <- old <- oldest etc... (H) 14:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- This looks great! I'd prefer it to say if it didn't find anything so I know that it's working. Otherwise you can't tell whether it's really a negative or not. Would it be possible to say when they were renamed? Also by whom? Secretlondon 16:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it can give the date, and the name of the person who performed the rename. No problem. I will start running it a testing capacity once it is approved. I have already requested approval. (H) 16:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, the bot will have to wait until I decide to use Wikipedia again[4]. (H) 16:48, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about all that drama, I am back and on track with the bot. I have approval now so the first test edit should be today. (H) 21:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Smeggypants At WP:CHU
Hi, could you do me a favor and look at this user sooner rather than later? He's a heavy editing good faith user, and has been disallowed from editing until the change can be completed, which is a real bummery because we're trying to work out some issues together on a specific page. Thanks. The Evil Spartan 16:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for changing my username! :)--Endo(Exo) 22:07, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
change my username to (Tracy Mcgrady (Verson 2.0) to Busy Bee
Look at my request to change Username in the bottom of WP:RENAME. Change it as soon as possible, thanks. Tracy Mcgrady (Verson 2.0) 22:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- There is a long list. I am working through them. You only applied an hour or so ago. Secretlondon 22:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
But you are a bureaucrat; you know everything!
The first part of the comment was {{usernameconcern}}, which I am quite certain you know perfectly well. The rest was free text. She seems to want to change her username, and, as it is presently the same as the name of a well known person, this is a reasonable and a positive request. --Anthony.bradbury 22:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've done the request - I didn't know the text of usernameconcern. Thank you for telling me that's what it was. I'd like to suggest some amendments to it. Secretlondon 23:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Help yourself; you're the boss and it's not my template!--Anthony.bradbury 17:39, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks For Renaming My Username MicroChip123 16:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Renaming
I'm not familar with OTRS - how do I confirm that - can I? Is there anywhere that says you have OTRS access? (I'm trying to see how I would get some evidence). We generally have a policy that only the user can ask for a renaming to stop people being renamed maliciously. I understand this is a different issue - it's just one we've not had before.
Also please don't put Any in the template as it means we have to change it all manually. Not using the template would be more appropriate in this case. Thanks Secretlondon 22:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Anyone listed under the Meta page of the OTRS team will be happy to confirm the email for you: Meta:OTRS. Mindspillage is a well known member of the OTRS team and I'm sure she will be happy to confirm the rename request for you.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I just didn't know what naming system you guys used in cases like this. Let me know and I'll change it to anything you want. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 17:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
