Hello Wikipedians and people who are not-yet Wikipedians.

This is my user talk page. You can contact me here. If you are a registered user who wishes to send an E-mail to me, please feel free to use the "E-mail this user" feature in the toolbox on the left side of this page. I also encourage everyone to read the contents of my talk page, and my archives, as well. Acalamari 21:56, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notice: if you post a message on my talk page and do not receive a response on yours, please be aware that I will have responded here, although I will respond on yours if that is more suitable for you; however, I have learned that it is best to keep a discussion in the same place in order to avoid confusion. I would also appreciate the talkback template and its variants not being used here...if I post to your page, rest assured that I will be looking out for a response there. Other than that, feel free to post!

Thanks

Thanks for the rollback rights, it was a useful tool. --Skizzik^talk 18:38, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request for image revision history deletion

Hello,

I was hoping you could please take a look at this image with the following template, and delete the unused image in page history.

I noticed from the date that it has been overlooked. Thank you Editor182 (talk) 00:48, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All done for you! Acalamari 10:22, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kenny protection

Many thanks for your administration and protection of that BLP - Merry holiday to you. - Youreallycan (talk) 23:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome...but it wasn't just me! :) You may want to thank Salvio giuliano for their longer protection! (Unfortunately the protect button doesn't "edit conflict", so they wouldn't have seen my protection if they performed their protection right after mine.)

Season's tidings!

Canadian Parliamentary Motion on Alexander Graham Bell

Was there a consensus for this move? I saw nothing but "oppose" but move went through anyway? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 21:07, 27 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Bzuk, I was not even aware of the discussion, but if there was nothing except opposition to a move, there isn't going to be any consensus to perform the move. Acalamari 22:04, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up

Hi Acalamari. I have removed rollback rights from a user who was granted the tool by you, so I thought I'd drop you a note. Please see User talk:AroundTheGlobe#Rollback privileges removed. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:33, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Fuhghettaboutit, thanks for the note about removing AroundTheGlobe's rollback rights; I do appreciate it, and more so than usual due to the length of time since that admin action. Best. Acalamari 23:14, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced

Acalamari! Happy New Year! ;)

I have a question, which noticeboard do I go to, regarding an editor and them adding unsourced content to an article? I have asked the editor, kindly, to add a source in with their edits - instead I get this on my talk page, and this in the article's edit summary, and they ignore my request. I undo their edit on the article; warn them. They revert my edit on their talk page, fine if they read them, but undo my edit on the article, claiming it's "blatant vandalism". Acalamari, is there a specific noticeboard, for this case, and or future ones I come accross? Thank you, -- MST☆R ^{(Happy New Year!)} 13:04, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you too, MelbourneStar! :D {And congratulations for being the first to post to my talk page this year. ;)}

As far as I'm aware, there is no specific noticeboard for the addition of unsourced content. However, in cases like this, if you can't come to an agreement, WP:ANI may be the best place to make a report. Hope this helps. Acalamari 13:14, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be an Unsourced Content Noticeboard! :)

Anyway, The editor has added sources, so I won't be too hasty in making a report, barring their PA. But I shall use it for future references..

And an honor it is to be the first. All the best for 2012. Regards, -- MST☆R ^{(Happy New Year!)} 13:20, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Danrivera

Edits [1] suggest another sock of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ItHysteria. Cheers, 76.248.147.199 (talk) 12:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 76.248.147.199! As I have not heard about this sockpuppeteer until now, I'm not certain about making a block here. While the recent rush of edits Danrivera has made to 30 Seconds to Mars-related articles could be a concern (as are the unsourced BLP edits I had to revert, and their talk page is not encouraging), most of the rest of the edits from the account appear to be towards other topics. The account also goes back over a year, but in all fairness, socks have lasted that long before. Would you mind shedding more light on the behavior of ItHysteria socks? Thanks. Acalamari 12:56, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've no deeper insight or experience into this, just connecting dots the from the recent IP edits [2], back to the 'IT' account. The Mars edits appear to involve a non-existent cat. Thanks, 76.248.147.199 (talk) 13:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you [3]; I was just thinking the same thing, but don't like to hop from one administrator to another. Much appreciated, 76.248.147.199 (talk) 13:45, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I'm glad we were on the same page. :) Oh, and don't worry about admin-hopping if you're in need of help on something: it's not normally a problem unless the intent is to forum-shop (which was not the case here). Acalamari 13:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring edits by anonymous Italian IPs on 30STM articles is a dead giveaway. Blocked.—Kww(talk) 13:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: His other edits may have been on different articles, but they are in reference to 30STM members.—Kww(talk) 13:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Kww, I'll keep all of this in mind for the future. Thanks also to you 76.248.147.199 for making me aware of this to begin with. Acalamari 13:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A virtual toast to you both...on second thought, it's too early for that. I like to wait until 10:30 AM, at least. 76.248.147.199 (talk) 14:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page deletion

hey why did you delete my no dada no kkr page?/ there were reliable sources from many a leaing journals so why the deletion?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virinchi523 (talk • contribs) 05:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing the content, deleting the page was an error on my part, as it did not meet the criteria on speedy deletion, and especially not the one I specified. Sorry about this. To give you time to work on your article, I have restored it to User:Virinchi523/NO DADA NO KKR. Best. Acalamari 10:32, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

could you please assist me on which phrases do you find in-appropriate in my no dada no kkr page?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virinchi523 (talk • contribs)

I didn't find any of it inappropriate: my deletion was made in error, so I restored the page. The person who deleted the page I restored for you is a user called Fastily; you may want to talk to them instead. Acalamari 10:29, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A request to block 98.192.45.21

IP adress 98.192.45.21 keeps undoing my work on the Amir Mansour article. I have spent a lot of time on the article and Im getting very fustrated about that he keeps deleting my stuff, over and over again. It is so anoying. And there is nothing wrong or false in about what Im writing. Please block the IP adress.

Im getting very angry and fustrated about my work being deleted.

David-golota (talk) 00:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

This looks like a content dispute. It has been several hours since either of you last edited the page, so it would be inappropriate to make any blocks or protect the page. I suggest starting a discussion on the talk page. Acalamari 11:07, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:WE film poster.jpg

Hello Acalamari, can you delete the old versions of the above file please? Thanks, — Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Acalamari 10:33, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oops

Apparently, I conflicted with you while protecting Mr. T. I thought that indefinite protection might be best, given that a previous 1-year protection failed to halt the vandalism. However, feel free to restore your protection or tell me to restore it. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I pity the fool who overrules me...I mean, we had a protection conflict, and I have no objection whatsoever to your protection replacing mine. :) Acalamari 17:15, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RFP for Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) and its talk page

Please help with this request (permalink). I'm too involved with the purported sockpuppet case to be an impartial admin to take the decision. Der yck C. 20:31, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deryck, I answered the requests. I had to decline both of them because I do not think there is enough disruption at the moment to justify protecting either of them. Acalamari 22:39, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! (Over-zealous editors trying to hunt and demolish any editor they think looks like User:Instantnood has been a long-standing problem on the English Wikipedia, especially among editors interested in the topics of Hong Kong and China. As one of the few Hongkonger admins here I find myself but too involved in this issue.) Der yck C. 22:54, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help. :) Acalamari 23:12, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for granting me rollback rights... that was four years ago *cough*cough* (sorry for not mentioning it sooner); I was/am at a major hiatus from Wikipedia- I must confess I'm wary of coming back; still afraid of its potentially addictive quality— I can't help but notice you're a wikijunkie ;)Rosa 08:38, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
