When you have nothing else to do...

If you feel like making another round of typofixes, there are quite a number of instances of "sherif", "sherrif", and "sherriff" running around wikipedia that could use changing to "sheriff", some of them legitimate, most not... If you feel up to it... Tomer^talk 00:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

AWB made nonsense

Hi. I'm sure you're not aware, but AWB (under your supervision) made nonsense of the page Calendar date by changing the section (in particular, the third line):

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Hi, I am Daniel5127. When I looked at your user page. I really have big question about the something that shows Idealist, Cultural Creative, Romanticist, Existentialist, Fundamentalist, Postmodernist, Modernist, Materialists. Is this(Things that I'm mentioning) in Wikipediholic score? This material made me so curious because I saw something that I mentioned in other wikipedian's user page. Or is it in different area of Wikipedia? Just Curious. Anyways, I hope you could reply in my talk page. Cheers!!! Daniel5127 <Talk> 04:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Check your e-mail.

I sent an e-mail explaining the problem to you. Please respond to it as soon as you can. Made of people 02:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

User: Netscott has been tirelessly reverting my good faith edits, as indicated here and here His reasoning is that because I am a suspected sock puppet, which I freely admit to now, he has the right to revert all of me edits. These edits that he has reveted include constructive good-faith edits to article pages, petitions and attempts to contact other users by reverting my edits on their talk page, and even going as far to attempt to DELETE petitions that I have made to administrators, here. The issue is no longer whether or not I am a sock puppet or not. As, I have explained on this page, Wikipedia:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/December 2006/Made of people, my original incidence in which vandalized was months ago, and I have no longer vandalized since then. Netscott has repeatedly gotten my "sock puppets" banned over and over again, even after the point where I had reformed, given up on the fued, and only wanted to constructively edit wikipedia in peace. If you look at Special:Contributions/Made_of_people my contributions, you will see that I have a history of nothing but constructive edits prior to this event with Netscott.Made of people 02:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

In short, the issue is that I have reformed months ago, yet Netscott insists on stalking my edits and accusing me of being a sock puppet, even accusing users who weren't even really my sock puppets, such as User: TechJon. It is obvious that Netscott does not want to actually improve wikipedia, he simply hates me because I disagreed with him on the Michael Richards article, an event in which I somewhat recklessly attempted to add another point of view to the article, which caused my original 48 hour suspension. I was unaware of the sock puppet rule, made another account because I stopped caring about the michael richards article, and since then Netscott has been trying to get me banned for being a sock puppet. This was a long time ago, and it is obvious that I no longer vandalize wikipedia, and since, according to my user contributions, I have only made constructive edits. I tried to reason this with Netscott, but he does not reply to either my emails or my petitions on his talk page. He wants to censor me as much as possible and reverts my edits whenever I try to talk to other administrators.Made of people 02:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Netscott does not realize that I am no longer a threat to wikipedia. Rather than do what is best for wikipedia, he would rather cite rules such as "no sock puppets allowed" and "sock puppetry = indef ban" to get me banned, simply because he does not like me because of our disagreement on the Michael Richards article, and the fact that I would let just sit down and let him revert my edits. He doesn't realize that I am not the typical vandal that he has to deal with a day to day basis, and I admire Netscott for relenentlessly pursuing the vandals who actually want to destroy wikipedia, though now I have doubts as to the reasonableness of his character and whether or not he has treated others as bad.

The bottom line that supports my argument is the fact that I have already reformed and my contribution history reflects this. Netscott would be more in the right if had chosen to wait for me to actually commit vandalism before coming after me, and using that as an excuse to attack me, and use that precedence to justify that I have no reformed. Unfortuantely for Netscott, I never will vandalize again, and he realizes this, so he decided to attack me now regardless of what is good for wikipedia, simply because he has a vendetta. He needs to realize that he is doing more harm than good right now in these personal attacks against me that can bring no good. His reversion of my good faiths simply because he does not like me undermines the values upon which wikipedia is based on, having quality information. I do not see the point to these reversions, nor these allegations that I should banned based on a history that I have already recanted. Made of people 02:27, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

This individual is a liar and I would caution for falling for his lies. The "not even my sockpuppets" line is classic... what he's saying is that they indeed were either his sockpuppets or the equivalent meatpuppets. Also he talks about losing interest in the Michael Richards article. This again is another lie. He continued to edit with regard to that article using the sockpuppets User:Juror 8, User:Reasonable doubt1 as well as User:TechJon. This individual has been denying all along the sockpuppet nature of his numerous sockpuppets including these rather disruptive ones. This user is bad for wikipedia and should remain banned. (Note User:Yamla's block review message on User talk:Made of people). (→Netscott) 06:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey Physicq, I just wanted to thank you for the various Ottawaman/Canuckster blocks, reverts etc that you did today. Thank you also for putting the proposed community ban back on the agenda. I really appreciate all you did today. Thanks. :) Sarah Ewart 07:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for implementing the community ban. :) I had trouble wording it, but I just edited the WP:BU entry a little. He did get much worse and started to focus his attention more heavily on me after the disruption block, but it had actually been going on for months before that. I think I first became involved around June/July, but he had been at it for a while before that. I was wondering, since we now have the community ban in place, would it be appropriate to conclude Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Ottawaman? If so, would you be happy to do it? Thankyou again for your help. I really do appreciate it very much. It has been such a relief to finally (hopefully) reach a resolution. Cheers, Sarah Ewart 20:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Fantastic! Thank you. :) Sarah Ewart`

Thanks: vortex

Thanks for stepping in and handling the vortex-related AfD and side effects.

Is it OK to ask that the content copied from my user page (User:JonHarder) be deleted from the history of User:MonHarder (here)? It doesn't seem appropriate to be masquerading as me, someone may check the history and be confused. This user has done similar things in the past, but never copied a whole page.

California Flag

Hello, Khoikhoi (t c) has referred me to you because he said you were active in the discussion over use of the SVG California Flag versus the PNG flag. I have made some changes to the SVG flag to more closely match the PNG flag, and would like your input about whether the current SVG version is sufficient to replace the PNG version. You can compare them here. I'd be interested in any feedback you have. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Non-Latin Username Blocks

There is some dispute as to whether these blocks are supported. There are many active editors who do just fine contributing with non-latin names. Per the discussion here, there seems be support for reccomending for to people creating a username at en.WP to not use non-latin characters. But does not appear to be consensus for blocking people on sight who already have a non-latin account at another Wikimedia wiki. Will you please start taking these non-latin username through Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names in order to better gather opions on the mattter? Thank you for your atttention to this matter.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 17:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

user:Szhaider

Hi, I read your comments on the Administrator's noticeboard contemplating a permanent ban for user:Szhaider. I think that would be very unwise. As someone who has done his share of battling with Szhaider, but as someone who is neutral in the India-Pakistan edit-warring issue, I think the picture is not as simple as it might seem. Also, I don't know if I regard user:Rumpelstiltskin223, the original poster on the noticeboard, as entirely nonpartisan in this issue. Here is a copy of the post I left on Dmcdevit's talk page:

Hi, I noticed that you blocked user:Szhaider for another two weeks and I'm confused about the reason. His talk page says something about the Talk:Taxila page. Since I am the person he traded comments with on that page, I'd like to say that I certainly didn't think what he said there was either particularly anti-Hindu or particularly uncivil to me. So, I don't understand the block. Two weeks seems a little over the top to me, but maybe I don't understand the real reason. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

PS Please also see my two posts on an earlier blocking admin's Talk page, especially the second post, which lays out some of the dynamics I have observed. Please also see Nichalp's reply on my talk page. I think admin Rama's Arrow seems to be a little trigger happy, but I could be wrong. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
