Can you delete this page that I accidentally created

I accidentally created Smashbrosboy/ssbuserbox. I had meant for it to be my user subpage but I forgot to add the User tag.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 22:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. Was planning to move it instead, but I saw you'd already made the page. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 22:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!--Smashbrosboy (talk) 00:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Null persp. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 00:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Name change

Hi thanks for looking into my request name change. I tried to do it more than once and messed it up. I want it to change from User:Rac fleming to User:Robert Fleming. Thanks for your help. Rac fleming (talk) 13:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 18:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for Comment: V-Dash

In the days shortly after V-Dash was blocked there was one user, Wandering Hero (who I'm sure you remember as V-Dash Game FAQs nemesis) who trolled the page (which I removed). With another (different) user endorsing the summary today, I was wondering if that page should be archived? I'm not sure if Request for Comments are generally archived or not, but I do know that generally only admins should close a page as an archived debate. Do you think the discussion should be closed and kept as an archive? MelicansMatkin (talk) 00:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I do, but I won't be the one to do it as I was the one who started the RfC. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 00:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply; I'll ask another admin now. MelicansMatkin (talk) 00:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Your advice

Being an administrator, perhaps you can help with this issue. On the Advance Wars: Days of Ruin article, there is an ongoing a debate over whether or not the game is turn-based tactics or turn-based strategy. Is there anything that can be done to put an end to this relatively soon? Neither side will likely back off, and there have been one or two occasions of 3RR violations and possibly an edit war. I'm just unsure of where to go from here. I was involved with the debate at one point, but upon being warned of violating 3RR I bowed out. At this point, I just want the dispute resolved, no matter the decision. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give to bring the matter to a speedy resolution. Comandante42 (talk) 01:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Post at AN/I - one of the parties is an indefinitely-blocked user from the looks of it. As I'm not 100% certain (and won't be until the RFCU I filed comes back), I'm not going to try anything just yet. What I will do, however, is full-protect the article for a few days. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 01:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

It's like you read my mind. The only reason I didn't notice you had already become aware of the situation was because I had to spend the past hour trying to fix my router. By the time I successfully got my message through, you had already posted on the talk page. Thanks for taking an interest, though, and sorry about the delayed message. Comandante42 (talk) 01:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

The only reason I'm taking interest is because V-Dash is indef-blocked, and as such his sockpuppets are to be blocked on sight as evaders. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 02:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Still, you may actually bring the dispute to a close. I was beginning to think that the issue would go on and on for weeks to come; it no longer matters to me how a resolution comes about, so long as one does. Whatever the original reason is, I appreciate your involvement nevertheless. I know it's a small issue, but even small headaches are draining to those who wind up with them. Comandante42 (talk) 02:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Tell me about it. I have one of the biggest small headaches in Wikipedia history. In any case, bring this up at AN/I - this looks like V-Dash evading a block and the admins there should know. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 02:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's over with at last. You've gotten rid of my headache (for now at least; DeathMark/V-Dash will definitely be back at some point, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's already gotten a new start on some other unfortunate article) and now we can move on to better things, all thanks to you. Comandante42 (talk) 18:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

If it helps, all the articles V-Dash has been edit-warring and making inane arguments on were/are Nintendo games. I'd keep your eyes on them. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 21:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hate to seem paranoid, but Axzeuz has turned up on the AW:DoR talk page, and isn't making a whole lot of sense, user page created on 2nd Feb, only edits have been to the AW:DoR talk page. I'm getting a DeathMarkish vibe from him, though I'm probably violating WP:AGF by thinking so. Advice? Geoff B (talk) 17:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

He's back...

DeathMark (talk · contribs) seems to be another incarnation of V-Dash (talk · contribs) and is attacking Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Mind keeping an eye on him until the new RFCU finishes? -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 00:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Not at all, I'll be more than happy to keep an eye on the user's contributions. MelicansMatkin (talk) 02:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; I'm dealing with Grawp socks right now. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 02:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

RFCU just confirmed that the two accounts are related. MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Already tagged and bagged. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 03:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Nice catch, by the way. MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I read over his contributions and saw that he was having a genre debate over at the talk page of AW:DoR, as well as edit-warring over same. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 03:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I've always found that slightly ironic; sockpuppeteers are always convinced that they won't be caught, but then they go ahead and act exactly the same as their blocked accounts, and generally on the same pages. And then they feign innocence when somebody raises a suspicion. They're all the same... MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of shooting down all three of his unblock requests based on the CU evidence and behavior - see User talk:DeathMark. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 03:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

He'll never learn. Lets hope this is the last time we see him. MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll bet you Jimmy Hoffa's corpse he'll be back. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 03:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

He's back again as GhostMask, having already made genre changes to Advance Wars and removed some discussion from the AW:DoR talk page. Have fun. Geoff B (talk) 21:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for fixing the block problem!--Mr Fink (talk) 06:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Null persp, chummer. Actually, that was the first time I've even touched a rangeblock. However, I can state that the situation that led to your autoblock is pretty bad; it's stalking and puppetry on a grand scale (Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Grawp). -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 06:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Null persp, lol! I know how complicated these situations can get, and thank you for your willingness to deal with an especially painful situation like this one! Hope I didn't seem worked up about it... had a WikiFriend get blocked on accident once and when the situation didn't get fixed quickly he never came back. Wanted to make sure that didn't happen here, and I'm glad an admin as competent as yourself was on the case! --JayHenry (t) 06:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, when it comes to rangeblocks, I'm incompetent. I couldn't do one myself to save my soul. I merely modified Yamla's to anon only.-Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 06:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, it worked, and that's what counts in life. I think.--Mr Fink (talk) 15:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Who exactly has Jack Merridew pissed off?

This seeems to come up quite a bit. HalfShadow (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Jack Merridew has an impersonator (User:Senang Hati (impersonator)), and Gavin.collins (who is also getting abuse) has been adding (in my eyes, appropriate) cleanup tags to articles, earning him a stalker in Grawp (see the RFCU/Case link above). -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 21:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah Grawp. The human cockroach. How many socks does he have now? HalfShadow (talk) 21:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I lost count at about 50. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 22:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Bates method

Hi, I came across Batesmethod of Natural Vision Improvement while patrolling new pages. It appears to be a POV fork (especially in light of this edit), but I'm unfamiliar with the controversy. Would you care to take a look? Thanks! Dchall1 (talk) 22:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank'ee, chummer. Nominated it for AfD; the creator has a problem with the current consensus on Bates method. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 23:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Axzeuz

Would you like me to keep on eye on this user's contributions, given the similarities between the user and V-Dash? MelicansMatkin (talk) 19:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hell yes. I've already added him to the V-Dash II request and asked for an IP ban. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 19:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

RFCU has confirmed it. MelicansMatkin (talk) 17:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Just a general thanks for defending wiki. It's more appreciated than you think. -- penubag  (talk) 07:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

GhostMask/ V-Dash IV

It appears that User:GhostMask may be another V-Dash. He was just blocked for 31 hours after some vandalism incidents, and has visited a few pages that V-Dash/DeathMark used to frequent. Take a look at the discussion here: User talk:Onorem under "Stay off my talk page", where you are mentioned by GhostMask; his talk page is also worth looking over, as it seems to fit the V-Dash style.  Comandante  Talk  21:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Just found out GhostMask's been indefinitely blocked, but not as a confirmed V-Dash.  Comandante  Talk  21:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

It seems almost certain that's who he is, but I don't think it matters. His behavior with the GhostMask account, considered only by itself, makes it clear that his intentions here are not to contribute constructively. Friday (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Ceske Jouriano as well. Geoff B (talk) 21:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Requested that they be checked and the underlying IP blocked. I'm noticing he's starting to attack me now (GhostMask made reference to the harassment of Gavin.collins (talk · contribs) (see The Grawp CU) and SIHULM (which has since died down)). Whomever is here needs to stop going after me and find something constructive to do with his time, like paint a picture or sell stocks. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 22:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The less you fight and the more you ignore, they sooner these kids may get bored. Friday (talk) 22:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Also look into User:RZone0, who started this page: Wikipedia:Brokeback User.  Comandante  Talk  23:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Page deleted. I've asked Alison to check the RFCU; this is starting to get ridiculous.

Again with the sockpuppets? For the love of pete... -Sukecchi (talk) 01:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sky Eats Airplane

I'll take your word for their notability - they were pushing hard yesterday, but I personally don't see them as notable if they haven't released anything. Acroterion _(talk) 03:15, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

They have, according to their website. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 06:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

And another.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 06:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm taking this one to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/V-Dash; I suggest you do the same as they pop up. Is it just me, or does he attack each time I'm playing Conker? -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 07:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for deleting User talk:EGEmedia. Like I said I should have speedied it. But, heck, just in case... :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

V-Dash again

We've got another one... I've reported it to the RFCU. MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

• Was just gonna do the same, but you beat me to it. [3] -- penubag  (talk) 04:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit: Looks like Urutapu beat me, actually. I wonder why it's only you that he impersonates? I know that he's targeted Sukecchi's talk page, but there are a lot of other people that dealt with him who he could impersonate too... MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, because Jeske's out to get him.
Or that's his mindset, anyway.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 04:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I've reported the incident to WP:ANI, as Jeske advises at the top of this page. MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

(Isn't there such thing as an IP-ban? Forums do it…)—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 04:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I believe there is, but I don't they're used that frequently on Wikipedia. Hey Jeske, just out of curiosity; were you playing Conker again while this was happening? MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Not this time; I was playing Diablo II. As a side note, this takes the cake for "Fucking Incomprehensible Post". -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 06:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

There is, but I recall somewhere that Jeske said somewhere that he couldn't Ip ban him...[4]-- penubag  (talk) 04:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

f I recall correctly, Alison said on the RFCU that these sockpuppets were all from disparate IP addresses, which would explain why no IP block was implemented. MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, that makes since, but each individual ip should still be blocked, or he could create as many socks as he wants. -- penubag  (talk) 05:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Barring him really doing something very high on the bogus meter, it ain't happening. And, Urutapu, if I knew which IP(s) he attacked from I would have blocked them ACB when Friday indef'd V-Dash. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 06:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Dungeons & Dragons

There is a projetc that is making pages about a videogame, an RPG. The point is that on wikipedia games should not be added on that extreme. There are many pages about mythical and fictional creatures with the dungeons & dragons tag. What i say is that games should only have one page, or maybe two but remarking the general subjects. why do u think you never see a full guide of videogames or lots of articles about a game. Imagine if all the articles had this. The articles on Wikipedia would double and there would be Imp (Dungeons & Dragons), Imp (runescape), Imp(dragonfable etc... about 100 times. and there would be a guide with tricks a guide with full info.Understand my point? I know that ur a sysop but thats what surprised me when i've noticed you were on the project. I consider deleting the project and advertising Wikipedia is NOT a Videogame's Cheat's, guides and trick page. Sinceresly --Zzubiri (talk) 15:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
