Welcome to Can't sleep, clown will eat me's talk page on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit   Kim Possible Epsiodes? Question - There are some episode pages that are being reverted to redirects and a couple newer editors are getting tetchy about the redirects happening before they can expand the pages. While I generally don't support 'make a stub page!'-itis, in this case it's hard to expand the episode list page enough to spawn a child episode page. It's come up on List of KP eps. Any ideas? I'm for letting the pages start as stubs and then hacking them down. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 02:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC) Fear not the clown, and smile! :) Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road; Every life must have its burden, every heart its load. Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup? As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup. Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom -pass and meet; Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet. Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face; Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place. Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves. Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years, Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears! Ella Wheeler Wilcox Have a beautiful day, my dear insomniac! :) Phaedriel 08:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Oh noes, it's another award! The Original Barnstar Never got around to doing this, but you definitely deserve yet another barnstar! I've seen a lot of your edits ever since I first joined Wikipedia: definitely the administrator I've seen working the most. Thanks for all the great contributions! :D RazorICE 08:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Unprotecting Microscope Hi, just a quick note to tell you I unprotected Microscope for now (it was protected for more than a month now), I'll watchlist it to see if the vandal left. If you disagree feel free to revert me! -- lucasbfr talk 08:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Article on "XIAXUE" Hi, I'm from Singapore. I found the article on "XIAXUE" deleted and protected. "XIAXUE" is the online persona of a certain notorious Miss Wendy Cheng from Singapore, a very controversial minor celebrity in Singapore who is well-known and appears frequently in the Singapore press, tv & radio programs and popular magazines. She is (in)famous for her outspoken and politically incorrect views on her blog at xiaxue.blogspot.com as well as on TV talk shows. I think the page should not be deleted and she deserves an entry (despite her unpopularity with certain segments of society). I hope the page can be reinstated. Best regards, OIRVM There have been a number of WP:BLP issues with this page. If you would like to contest this deletion, please refer to Wikipedia:Deletion review for instructions. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:26, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Another admin, Vague Rant, undeleted the article per my request on IRC. Having won several prestigious blogging awards and been frequently mentioned in the Singaporean press, Xiaxue's clearly notable. A post on her blog, dated 11 June, indicates that she is unhappy with the deletion. I e-mailed her to notify her that the article has been undeleted; she replied requesting I help her rewrite the article. All I need is someone with Newslink who will e-mail me lots of Straits Times/New Paper articles on her, and I can start rewriting the article based on information found in the newspaper articles. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 01:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC) No problem so long as the text can be sourced in accordance with our verifiability policies. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Shortly after being undeleted, Xiaxue was nominated for deletion again. Please comment at the deletion discussion. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 08:03, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Hey Hey thanks about the images, these images are all dishes that my family made, Zahra melah is just Fried cauliflower. Hey what lyrics are you talking about? Bazel 22:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Dude Coolest page EVER! TheManWhoLaughs 02:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Robin Hood I recently put in a request for a Peer re-Review of the article, which seems pretty well-written. I think I might have constructed the new peer review the right way, but it keeps redirecting towards the old peer review, which was archived. Did I do something wrong there? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 06:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Did some shuffling, does it look better now? Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Yeah, Looks great. What did I do wrong? Btw, feel free to weigh in on what you think of the article and how we can better get it ready for GA. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 07:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Overdue The Barnstar of Diligence Fine work you do and I thank you for it. MONGO 07:54, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for reverting my userpage. RuneWiki777 21:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC) User:86.131.161.117 You just recently banned User:86.131.161.117 for "repeated vandalism to various articles" yet when I looked at his contributions it only regesters him having edited a single article; Ed Shaughnessy also I noticed that he had not been warned, his user talk page is conspicuolsly non-existent. That does not seem to be per WP:BP. Was the the IP of a convicted sockpuppeter or somthing? -Ĭ₠ŴΣĐĝё 22:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC) 198.209.250.253 block Early in the year, you blocked this school IP for vandalism. Due to the fact that they can edit and vandalize more, I request that this school IP be blocked an extra year. I, myself, go to this school district, and I am saddened by their vandalism. Help out the kid no one likes... D: --Ihitterdal 23:03, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Sorry to hear that. We now have the capability to issue anon-only school blocks, I will take a look. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 23:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC) New template - Collapsable Wikiproject boxes Check out the Talk:Rickey Henderson page. Is there already a default "collapse" template available? I couldn't find one but it seems like it is worth creating. The template would be called collapseboxstart with another collapseboxend. Content goes in the middle. Using these for talk pages with lots of WikiProject templates (like the Rickey Henderson article) just seems to make sense. Ideas? Timneu22 23:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Nevermind. I found Template:WPB. Timneu22 10:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC) GH III Did you notice my clever edit reguarding your wikibreak? I hope it is ok, basically it says you are cool enough to do something like that! Ashura96 00:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC) No problem at all! I can't wait for GH3 to come out. Can't sleep, clown will eat me Justin Verlander Could you take a look at, and possibly protect, Justin Verlander? I've been repeatedly deleting vandalism on it tonight. Trusilver 05:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC) Thank you. Trusilver 06:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC) Feel free to contact me if matters escalate any further. My watchlist is approximately 10% of Wikipedia at this point, so I might not notice it right away.  ;-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC) Ninja! Dont you hate it when Admins speedy delete pages just as you are marking them for said delete? *sigh* Maybe Ill just go home... Metao 07:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC) Ha! I just blocked an IP previously blocked by you for a time period of "5 fortnights". I needed the chuckle. -- Merope 14:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC) Dave Kapoor Block Curious... How come Dave Kapoor is permanently deleted when this person is a valid onscreen talent AND a member of the backstage team in WWE? I know there's not much information on the guy but why delete and protect from re-creation? Clonetrooperx497 00:34, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Input on User:Edtropolis Hi Cant sleep, IMHO you're one of my favorite and best admin here so I just wanted to ask your opinion on what to do with the user in question. He is a newer user and frequently contributes on WP:AfD. I too work in that field and his reasoning etc. are very frequently non-pertinent to ANYTHING in the article. Many other AfD patrollers, in addition to myself, have messaged him about it but he has not ceased in his erroneous edits. I am not requesting admin intervention, I would just like some advice on a course of action that would help in guiding the user. Thanks in advance for your help. Plm209(talk • contribs) 17:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC) Protection of Jenna Jameson You cited "spam magnet" and "libel concerns" - it certainly is a spam and vandalism magnet, no argument, but I haven't heard any specific libel concerns. Did I miss them somewhere? Not disputing your action in the least, just wanted to know what the specifics were. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 00:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Fast You were quick with blocking that vandal. Thanks! :) Acalamari 01:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Nice Work out there mate, sorry I warned the vandal before you did, but you were quick on the rollback! Cheers! Dfrg.msc 06:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC) User talk:68.61.207.127 First off, like many others, I love your name. I've seen it around a while and thought it was the best I've seen so far. I hope the pine nuts helped to keep the clown at bay. As well, I like your page. Back to business... I see you reverted edits by said user on the Murder page. When I checked, I saw no notice on the talk page, other than Martinbot's polite message 'If I deleted anything bad let me know speil,' about an edit on another page. It looks to me like it was you who made the revert on the Murder page and not a bot, so there is absolutely no question that the user committed an act of vandalism, and no chance for the user to explain multiple edits of vandalism in multiple sections. Something on the order of a level 2 or higher warning is appropriate in my opinion. Although this may be a proxy or dynamic IP, I feel it's important this be noted somewhere. I predict your answer will be, 'if you feel strongly, do it yourself,' or something to that extent which I may do. It's just that I didn't want to place anything on User talk:68.61.207.127 since I didn't do the revert and thought that maybe you were going to. Please let me know your intentions before I proceed. Your are awesome! Thx. SteinAlive 07:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC) Email I've sent you an email. Please check. Waltontalk 20:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC) Please take a look at Controversies over the film Sicko and comment on merge proposal Hi, The title says it all. I am requesting your opinion only because you've edited the Sicko (film) article and therefore appear to have an interest in the movie. I created the "Controversies" article and think it should stay, but I'd welcome your opinion whatever it is. If you consider this message annoying, I apologize. I'm leaving this message with you and some others without violating WP:CANVASS. I won't be leaving another message asking you to comment again. Noroton 23:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC) Props to you The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar Awarded for beating me to at least 10 edits this evening, and at least ten times that since I began RC patrolling.

Thanks!! -- Ssilvers 16:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC) You know what... The Surreal Barnstar Have a barnstar. Did you know that you are the most (if not the only) quoted example over on WP:UAA? Your username is constantly brought up in discussions about username lengths, and most recently when a username was reported for encouraging violence towards clowns. I feel that this may be giving you a bit of a complex, but we all love the username so have a barnstar of surrealism!! SGGH speak! 23:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC) Jerry Rice Hi, do you think the protect on this article is really necessary? It doesn't seem to have had a great deal of recent vandalism, and there's at least one anon IP that has been editing in good faith. Cheers Kevin 06:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC) User:65.32.68.31 Can you please block User:65.32.68.31? He keeps erasing the warnings on his talk and previous disruptive edits.

The hard block (i.e. without the anon only) you placed on 140.175.214.33 was apparently blocking Pd THOR (talk · contribs), so I've converted it to the standard soft block. I'm sorry if this was too hasty - please let me know if there is some reason for the hard block and I'd be delighted to change it back! :) Kuru talk 00:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC) No problem at all! Thanks for the note.  :) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 16:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC) Do you have the heart? I noticed you did a bit of cleanup to Doreen Bird. This article is an obvious prod as per not-notable, but the sole editor (other than you and me and one other cleanup-er) is so passionate about his or her former teacher, and that together with the fact that the subject died a couple years ago, I just don't have the heart to prod it. What do you think? Prod-able? --Jaysweet 19:26, 11 July 2007 (UTC) New York Yankees GA/R New York Yankees has been nominated for a good article review.

It has been vandalized many times where anon users have been removing alarge section sof text, however when Irequested protection on the requests page it was declined. Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 20:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC) I've added this page to my watchlist and will semi-protect if necessary.

(not by you, apparently) Are we not to add our 2 cents? The 'plus' sign is so inviting, that I felt it was proper protocol to add our sleepless rantings to the section itself. Was I wrong? Could it be!? the_undertow talk 22:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC) Well: I moved the other guy's comment to this page, since this is "the Clown's" talkpage, and he put it on his userpage.

Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Okay, fearless clown. Extremely sexy 09:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Mark Morrison Hello CSCWEM! You might want to know that a page you edited for WP:BLP concerns has been reverted. A reference was added, but you may have had other concerns; if so, you might want to stop by and comment. Separately, I thought your edit was kind of aggressive, removing the discography section, the content of which was being discussed on the talk page. If you have concerns about the discography, please feel free to join the discussion on that as well. Thanks! Cmprince 18:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC) Gorilla Zoe just wondering but y did u delete the article Gorilla Zoe? i wasnt the creater, but i wanted to create the article and it says that it was previously deleted. so im just wondering y you deleted it. thanks Darkneonflame 23:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC) Hello Hello Can't sleep, clown will eat me. I have seen that you are an admin by your logs page, and you've been blocking vandals from vandalizing. But may I please talk to you for a minute please?--Willy, your mate 04:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Brentwood Elementary School Please remove the protected redirect, which you added, to Brentwood Elementary School. It has been protected for nearly 4 months now, and really, there is not point in redirecting it to the Mead School District. Actually, the page can just be deleted, and then recreated when someone has sufficient info to write an article. Also I do believe this was an accident, but I had posted about this before (towards the end of June) about the same thing, requesting the removal of the protected redirect, but my message got deleted with your "old news" on 7/5/2007 without having been addressed, replied to, or having any action taken. Thanks, Jdubman 06:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Please see WP:REDIRECT#What do we use redirects for? If someone is looking for information about this school, they will be redirected to the district page. This is a legitimate use of a redirect and need not be deleted. Thank you, Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Ok, I understand. If and when someone has the information to actually write an article on the school, the redirect can be removed right? Jdubman 20:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Yes, that is correct. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Bond 23 is back A user just restarted the Bond 23 article, several months after it was already deleted. The user's rationale was a vague article in Variety magazine. There is still nothing official on this one, and it's pure crystal ball stuff, like before. This one is in need of a speedy delete. Since you performed the task the last time, I thought I'd take it to you to see what you think.--Fightingirish 14:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Summertime blues.. Hi, Pastordavid contacted me about lifting the block on User talk:67.132.42.130 as it's a school IP, and the kids are gone for the summer. :No problem with unblocking as far as I'm concerned, but by the time I saw the note you'd already denied the request. It might be worth considering allowing account creation while keeping anon editing blocked. However, no problems if you feel that's inappropriate. . . .. dave souza, talk 21:57, 16 July 2007 (UTC) My preference would be to have account creation requests filtered through to the unblock mailing list.

I was just about to find an admin to block it. NHRHS2010 Talk 23:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Citations Sorry I didn't know it was a violation because I thought that I was doing it the right way after watching how people did it on other pages, such as Panic! at the Disco, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, etc. Knight Whitefire 00:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC) No problem, I thought that was probably the case. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Most recent common ancestor I am requesting that you restore the 'articles for deletion' page for Most ancient common ancestor because I didn't have a chance to comment or tell 'my side of the story.' Quite a number of the comments made against the article were due to a misunderstanding of the topic by the commentators. Perhaps most disturbing was the presumption of a grammatical error in the cited sources, when clearly that was not the case...Ryoung122 02:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC) In addition to many not understanding what this article meant...clearly not a reason to delete it...I noticed that in the voting at the bottom, only a plurality (not a majority) favored deletion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Most_ancient_common_ancestor I suggest re-opening debate. Otherwise, I will have to go to the next step, a request of deletion review. Note that not only were there '118' hits, the idea itself is important. Many persons have been erroneously led to the incorrect notion that 'Mitochondrial Eve' was 'Eve'...this article helped explain why that notion was wrong.Ryoung122 02:48, 27 July 2007 (UTC) Sigh. Clown, before you reply, please see what Ryoung122 wrote on my talk page. I hope he fixed the screwed-up text blocks he left.

I'm not against your decision, I'm just curious to know why you changed the level. Is there something I missed on the page? Acalamari 01:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC) Okay, thanks for explaining; though I thought in that case it would have better to set the protection to edit=autoconfirmed/move=sysop rather than edit=sysop/move=sysop so that non-admins could edit the page but not move it.

Just wondering, I'm new here and my first article I was working on by direction of my Lecturer about Anthony Chidiac lacked all the right tags and talk page to be properly included for Wikipedians to add/edit on. As such, it got deleted and then you speedy deleted it when I re-added an old revision of it back up so myself and others can work on it. I was wondering if it was ok to repost the article in my user page back up to the proper spot, albeit I am adding all the right tags to it so that it encourages contribution and others will be able to contribute to source material too. This guy is notable and his achievements will spark a wealth of other information being written about some of his work with digital audio in the early days. I have been asked by others who want to contribute to add it back so they can also work on it - its a bit hard to do so when I try to tell them to point at my user page and its all too messy. Could we give it a try please? I'm really sure the article will really develop into a concise and comprehensive article about an Aussie Pioneer.

I notice that you have, for instance, blocked the address range 71.182.0.0/16 for six months (account creation) — a space of potentially 65 thousand addresses, dynamically allocated by Verizon internet services (a very large ISP in North America). This seems excessive, particularly given the IP range block guidelines at Wikipedia:Blocking_IP_addresses#Range_blocks.

I have recreated his userpage with the message that he is indef-blocked, I hope this is ok. Also - while I fully trust your capabilities and choices as a sysop, are you entirely sure an indef block was the proper course of action? It was an isolated incident, spurred by the offence he took at the insulting of his recently (and rightfully, indeed) deleted article, Glitches in The Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion. (see here.)

While there was a lot of handwaving on both sides with people stating "it is notable" or "it is not notable" (which isn't really helpful), the apparent fact is that the article is a dicdef and should arguably be moved to Wiktionary instead.

Thanks. Elenseel 21:26, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Query Hi there! I have another question for you. During the AFD for Anna Svidersky, the article Mourning sickness was essentially written as a rewrite or a replacement; indeed, many people in the AFD suggested a rename or refocus. I don't believe that the outcome of that AFD should be to now have two articles on the topic, rather than the one we started with. I've asked somebody else about this and the article on Anna does appear to be a memorial, a coatrack article, and would be in breach of people known for only one event. Given the opinions given in the AFD, I don't think it's necessary to repeat the debate again in order to merge or redirect this article. What do you think? >Radiant< 08:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Arguments were gone into at length in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anna Svidersky (2nd nomination) as to why Radiant's suggestion was not appropriate. The community consensus was to "keep" this article and he should respect that, instead of trying to impose a unilateral action. I believe it is right to have both articles. They are not synonymous but contain different elements, although there is an overlap. This has all been discussed.

Since you semi-protected the page only a short time ago, I thought it was best to tell you about the unprotection. Acalamari 00:03, 17 August 2007 (UTC) Permanent North American Gaeltacht Please review this: I was dismayed to see my 'Permanent North American Gaeltacht' article had been deleted, after all the hard work I put into it. I was personally at the opening of the TEACHING site (where our school and museum will be) where we got an official recognition letter from Eamonn O Cuiv, Mary McAleese, and TG4 was present. I resent being called a crank for telling the truth. I am from Tamworth (the actually site; Erinsville is the closest town), I speak Irish (tá sin fíor, bhíos ag caint as Gaolainn nuair a bhíos óg, fuaireas cursa Gailge san ollscoil (i dToronto), agus canaim amhráin sean-nós) and I live on a hill called Bailehack since the 1700's (why this is anyone's guess). It in the news: (http://www.gaelport.com/index.php?page=clippings&id=1974&viewby=date), (http://www.daltai.com/events.htm) list it, (http://www.lennoxandaddington.com/buzz/arch.cfm?a=showone&EID=41) shows it, here is the official invitation (http://tribes.tribe.net/diasporagael/thread/247c1da6-f749-42e6-9508-604737b5e63a). It's disappointing to see that all my hard work in making an information page about my own town has been deleted by people who don't look fully into things (not to be snide, but how do people living in Cork know about going on's in a town of only a few hundred in Canada?). I would REPOST this, if only the page name had not been blocked. If necessary, I can provide more transcripts of the letters we received on our opening to convince, or maybe a picture of me by the official gaeltacht roadsign? I didn't realize my small article about something a few speakers from kingston build across the road from me would blow up like this. I would request that you re-open the deletion review (although I doubt I can get my page back now, so just being able to repost this would suit me). Many local Irish speakers I know were very disheartened to see even wikipedia had turned its back on us, having only just won a 15+ year battle to gain official recognition. Danjdoyle 16:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC) I have opened a discussion about the gaeltacht article on the directed page. Hopefully everything is in order; I've never had to do anything in this manner before. Danjdoyle 17:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC) Thank you. I have restored the article history with {{deletion under review}} code pending the outcome of the discussion taking place at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 August 17#Permanent_North_American_Gaeltacht.

That's a /16 range: a fifteenth of the allocated range for the ENTIRE of NSW for this ISP. About 2 million users will be affected by this block over its lifetime - and it's ineffective unless you apply it to 58.160.0.0-58.175.0.0. Most of our contributions are from anonymous users, and you choose to reward them by blocking two million of them for six months because of one idiot? I'm sorry, but that's obscenely inappropriate, no matter what vandalism was being done from that IP. Furthermore, the appropriate block time was 24 hours, maximum - before you start resorting to immensely excessive SIX-MONTH blocks. If you need us developers to implement a change-size limit for anonymous, or other types of users, then we will do so (I'm working on it as we speak). But don't go blocking millions of users because you can't deal with somebody text-dumping a few times. — Werdna talk 08:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC) Please let me know when this is implemented.

In most cases, I couldn't figure out why that was needed for what looks like routine vandalism. I don't want to get into specifics, but could you please give me an idea of your philosophy on the issue? When do you do this as opposed to allowing an anon-only block? In general, would you mind if I changed these blocks to anon-only if it seems appropriate to me? Thanks.

Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Seems sort of like that. I wonder if that account is owned by the vandalbot controller? Perhaps something to be on the look out for. Like I said, in the beginning, he was doing vandalbot reversions, but with a really weird edit summary like he was naming the vandalbot network. Then he started targeting non-vandalbot edits from anonymous IPs, replacing the entire page, but still "naming" things in the edit summary. Very weird. Anyways, I went through all of his edits cleaned up all of the rollbacks you did that reinserted the vandalbot edits. -- Gogo Dodo 06:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC) There is no doubt this was intentional based on the timing.

One user made an elaborate analysis of everybody's arguments, showing an obvious consensus towards a certain change, in addition to the fact that the old version violates several policies. However, the people who wrote the article (and have been systematically reverting changes to it for over a year) object on the grounds that "the AFD was closed as a keep, therefore you may not modify the article". I would appreciate it if you could make it clear to them that no, an AFD keep does not preclude editing; alternatively, I suppose you could amend your close to make this clear.

Hi... my IP range (68.193.158.113) seems to have been blocked by you. I'm not too familiar with the Wikipedia blocking system, but as far as I can tell, it's an "anon-only" block.

The user Rollosmokes has recently been reverting many changes to the WNBC article, (I believe he did it on other articles, but I have only recently been involved with the WNBC article) whether vandalism or not, simply because he does not like them. When I have asked him to use the article's talk page to discuss these changes, since there is some opposition to them, he lashes out at me with things like, "Who suddenly made you an administrator, because you sure enough sound like one. But you aren't. Just leave me the heck alone and worry about yourself." I have talked with him about this issue in the past, and have gotten similar responses.

I have been having a go at vandal fighting, but much of the time, by the time I have spotted a likely vandalism at recent changes, gone to the page in question, looked at the edit history and diffs to determine that it is in fact vandalism and to select a good version to revert to, and added even RVV to the summary if it is a simple undo, someone else has beat me to it. Much of the time, the successful reverter does not post an incremental warning at the vandal's talk page, meaning that they may get away with 12 acts of vandalism before they accumulate the magic 4 warnings required to go to the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page and request a block. I see various vandal fighting tools in the form of Java scripts, which may require a fair amount of registry editing, the use of Firefox rather than IE, and even may require disabling ZoneAlarm.

Can't sleep, clown will eat me 17:39, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Personally, I would not want it to be protected. I would rather be able to edit the article if it needs upgrading. If a sock is involved, I'd rather catch them at 3RR, have them blocked, and be done with it. The article is contentious, and if we blocked every evolution/creation article, I'd have nothing to do. Again, personally, I think articles should only be protected when legitimate editors are getting out of hand. An anonymous sock doesn't qualify as legitimate. But of course, I think we do too much censoring around this project, so I may be the wrong person to give an opinion.

As I already said on the article's talk page, everytime I've logged into Wikipedia in the past week I've wound up having to revert vandalism edits. I'm not sure how to go about protecting or semi-protecting a page, though; should a request for protection be put in? Is there a template for semi-protecting a page? etc. etc. much obliged if you can get back to me (preferably on my talk page).

Is it 1 revert per article or in general (i.e. I make a revert in one article, and can't make a revert in another one). Also, one of the policies of WP:PW is to not include PPV match announcements that haven't aired on TV or wwe.com/tnawrestling.com, would removing these spoilers count towards the 1RR limit? I don't want to accidentally violate the terms of my parole. TJ Spyke 01:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC) This is not my area of focus, but I would interpret it to suggest priority should be placed on discussion rather than reverts; never mind the length of time.

Chick Bowen 02:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC) I too have been dealing with a lot of the collateral damage from this very large hard block; it seems to be a major ISP.

Did you see it differently? Check Talk:Barack Obama#Protection, where editors are still seeking consensus on the appropriate duration for temporary/indefinite sprot.

Dunno if its worth the effort to let him know of the block or what as he'll likely delete it... --Masem 05:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC) This should be taken care of now.  :-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC) (unrelated to this subheading) Thanks for your prompt and courteous assistance! HG | Talk 07:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC) The dumpster I noticed you have been moving pages to User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me/dumpster and then deleting them as speedy G7. While some of these pages probably deserved to be speedied for other reasons or AfDed, or could be successfully PRODed, I can’t imagine that this method can be considered in keeping with the spirit of that section of the speedy policy - having the page as a subpage of yours does not make you the author or primary contributor, or give you the right to delete it without debate or a real reason other than your whim. In accordance with WP:ADMIN, which suggests that grievances against admins should be taken to the offending admin first, I am asking you to please explain how this is a justifiable course of action. To me, it just looks like a blatant abuse of the system. --WikidSmaht (talk) 06:07, 7 September 2007 (UTC) The articles are replaced after removing libelous and defamatory material. Hope this helps, Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC) That is clearly not the case with some articles, Homecoming Upset, for example, and if were true in general, then the move log of User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me/dumpster would have all the times that articles were moved back after being cleaned up. There are only 5 entries for pages being moved away from the dumpster, whereas you have deleted it significantly more times. Besides, you don’t need to move an article anywhere to delete revisions. --WikidSmaht (talk) 06:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC) Perhaps you need to read Wikipedia:Oversight then.

Wouldn't it be better to fix the formatting problems rather than simply revert all the edits that have improved the article - you've re-established all the repetitions, picture clutter and flow problems that existed before. At least let me know what the formatting issues are so I can fix them. Shoebill2 09:34, 7 September 2007 (UTC) I reverted the page back to how it was before you reverted it on Sep 7. I appreciate that there are formatting issues but the appropriate response is not to revert the page but to correct the formatting issues. Please see the Wikipedia Help page on reverting which states among other things that: If you feel the edit is unsatisfactory, improve it rather than simply reverting or deleting it. Reverting is used primarily for fighting vandalism, or anything very similar to the effects of vandalism. Do not revert good faith edits. In other words, try to consider the editor "on the other end." If what one is attempting is a positive contribution to Wikipedia, a revert of those contributions is inappropriate Generally there are misconceptions that problematic sections of an article or recent changes are the reasons for reverting or deletion. If they contain valid information, these texts should simply be edited and improved accordingly. Reverting is not a decision which should be taken lightly. Do not revert changes simply because someone makes an edit you consider problematic, biased, or inaccurate. Improve the edit, rather than reverting it. I think these points are relevant in this case because many useful improvements to the piece were removed by you by reverting the article. I politely ask you to help fix the formatting problems rather than simply revert it again. if you don't want to do that or haven't got the time then please list the formatting problems on the pizza discussion page and I'll be happy to have a go at fixing them myself - with the help of another member, this process has already begun. I apologise for any formatting problems I've caused - I'm not hugely computer literate but I do know some useful things about pizza and I think it is better to make a stumbling contribution to Wikipedia than to leave out useful contributions because I might make a formatting error.Shoebill2 13:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC) 71.107.163.19 You recently reverted this user's blanking of vandalism warning on his User Talk page, and he blanked it again. That's just him taking the piss out of us, but his constant edits seem to be pretty bad faith edits. A look at his Contributions indicates some pretty wanton vandalism. This edit pretty much is a personal attack. I am thinking that the account was created for some Friday Nite Fun for those a tad too young to drive. Maybe he needs to find another venue to occupy his weekend, as Wikipedia doesn't need any more fools this evening? Sorry for all the prosifying. Can we ban this ass-hat? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 02:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC) This IP address has been temporarily blocked and the talk page has been protected as well. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 02:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC) I'd also point out that this user's first instinct after getting reverted was to blank the pages of every user who reverted him, replacing the pages with the word, 'Britfag'. User:Ryan Postlethwaite blocked him for 31 hours, but I am thinking that our charming little scamp's issues aren't going to be resolved all that quickly. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 02:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC) Caitlin Upton Hi.

Per WP:BLOCK, "This option should not be used by default when blocking an account, but rather it should only be used in cases of abuse of the "email this user" feature.". Disabling a user's ability to send an email, when no abuse has occurred, limits their ability to make legitimate unblock requests. In the future, please refrain from instantly implementing this feature. Thanks, - auburnpilot talk 05:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC) I would appreciate the courtesy of a response, as it seems you've continued in your blocks against policy.[16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]. If there's a reason for this, which I seem to be missing, fine. Otherwise, you need to stop. - auburnpilot talk 20:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC) If you are aware of reason that a perpetual troll meme / vandal-only account needs to email anyone using the MediaWiki email function, please do let me know. I will look into amending this policy if necessary. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:48, 9 September 2007 (UTC) You have no right to implement your own blocking policy. The policy of this project is that you will not disable a person's ability to send email using the MediaWiki function unless it has been abused. If you have a problem with the policy, I'm sure you can find your way to the relevant talk page. However, you cannot simply disregard official policy because you don't like it. - auburnpilot talk 20:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (Image:Day of the Lone Wolf - Astrid Williamson.jpg) Thanks for uploading Image:Day of the Lone Wolf - Astrid Williamson.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I think that we are blocking far too many ranges right now, and as I brought up on unblock-en-l you are responsible for hundreds of unblock requests. I was wondering your rational for this block, since you only provided "checkuserblock". May I ask who the checkuser was, completely out of curiosity? Prodego talk 00:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC) See this. I thought the range you blocked looked familiar -- I've had dealings with this guy before. A smaller range of his has been blocked in the past, but it looks like it keeps being expanded. It also lists this -- 91.104.0.0/13 -- as the range of his IP's, so do you think you should extend the range-block? I also don't think 2 hours is enough... he came back last time after he was blocked for a day and went right on continuing. But that's just me. Gscshoyru 00:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Absolutely not. I've seen some of the users that we're preventing from editing by implimenting this block, and it should not be extended. --Deskana (talky) 00:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC) I don't think we should block five hundred twenty-four thousand two hundred and eighty eight IP addresses to stop one person. This is exactly what I have been complaining about. Prodego talk 00:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Huh. The site makes it look like all these IP's are owned by one person. But I guess I misunderstood. Sorry, then. Gscshoyru 00:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC) They are owned by one company, which shares them among all their customers. So for example, AOL could own a range of IPs, and assign them to their many thousands of customers. Prodego talk 00:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Drat. More's the pity. Well... all of his sleeper accounts were made around 13-17 of April... is there any way to go back, see which ones have never been used, and block them on the assumption that they are either sleepers, or won't be used since they've been left dormant this long? Or is that against policy, which would be understandable. Gscshoyru 00:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC) You've seen this before Weird sense of deja vu looking at your user page. I've seen your work on other pages and it's good stuff, so it's kind of ironic that I find myself messaging you know. Sorry, I should explain. Back in July you put a temporary block on User:Chubeat8 for his tomfoolery on the Abd-al-Aziz ibn Abd-Allah ibn Baaz. Well apparently he's back with a vengeance, as can be seen on that article's talk page. He and some of his sock/meat puppets, aside from launching a series of attacks on my integrity as an editor rather than proving the validity of their edits, have also been Wikistalking me, searching as far back as four months on some articles and even reverting grammatical corrections and intentionally inserting spelling errors on one occasion. I've opened up a case at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Chubeat8 and figured, since you're at least a bit familiar with the guy's work, that you might be able to add a valuable two cents in. It was initially sparked by some comment he made on the talk page about a clown eating me. You popped into my head but I didn't know until a few minutes ago that you once had to put a temporary block on the guy. Any help you can give would be much appreciated, thanks so much. P.S. You may want to think about archiving your talk page because it's mad long.

That method of salting pages is depricated, and the template is now up for deletion. While things can still change, the current discussion definitely looks headed towards deletion. Assuming that this happens, you will no longer be able to salt pages with the old method, and will need to begin using the newer salting method that involves cascading protection on the title, and allows recreation to be blocked while still having no article at the name, leaving it as a red link. This new method of salting is centered at WP:PT, and the instructions for how to make it work are there as well. - TexasAndroid 13:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for September 10th, 2007.

I was recently adding references to Calvin (name)‎, and I noticed that the person, Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus, redirects to Licinius Macer Calvus. I'd like to make the main article be at his full given name, and redirect the other one to that, sort of flip-flopping them. I know that cut and paste moves are bad, but can they be done in this case, since I can't simply move the article, as the desired name already exists as a redirect? I would check and remove any double redirects, but I didn't want to do this before I checked with someone who is more familiar with this type of thing, as I've honestly never come across it before. (Boy, this sure sounded easy in my head, but now that I write it down, sheesh I probably am confusing the issue, huh? ). Anyway, I saw you were around, and since I've never had the pleasure of bugging you er, ~*cough*~ requesting your assistance, I thought I would pop in and see if you wanted to advise me.

I've been trying to make an article (novena prayer to the Black Nazarene) but after I finished it, it wasn't published. Do I need any approval or some sort to make it published? I tried another strategy by putting an external link of the prayer to 'Black Nazarene' (an existing article), but it's always undone. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Joel Protusada (joprotus) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joprotus (talk • contribs) 07:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Vandalism Thanks for taking care of the ips I added.

Is it just a cute way of saying "no consensus"? I am reviewing a request to restore Sunset Elementary School on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Content review. I noticed that it was speedied for being a copyvio (restoration requestor claims to be the author of the copyrighted material). However, I also noticed that it was subject of an an AFD discussion titled Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbara Hawkins Elementary School which you closed as a "trainwreck". So... what's a trainwreck and is it reasonable to restore Sunset Elementary School given that only one other article nominated in the AFD was actually deleted? --Richard 16:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Trainwrecks are what happen when a bundle of articles are listed for deletion under as a single nomination, of various degrees of notability, ultimately gridlocking any possibility of consensus. Seeing that the content you refer to has been released under the GFDL, I see no reason why it could not be restored.

You've been fighting vandalism since before I knew what vandalism was, so I thought you might be able to tell me if /Vandalism is okay, or what should be different. Thanks! · AndonicO Talk 01:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC) Need your opinion Hi. After spending several days gathering information, I put together Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Madman C. I am concerned about the number and specificity of the threats this user has made, as well as his mental state. Further, I am pretty sure I have tracked down the person's real-world identity. Do you think I have enough here that we should report this to law enforcement? If so, is there some formal process that we or the Foundation can use to report this? Thanks, NawlinWiki 22:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your reply. I have left a request for help with User:Charles Matthews, but haven't heard back from him yet. Since you posted, the user in question has come clean, see here. I will let Charles M. know that as well, and hopefully we will figure out what to do. Thanks again, NawlinWiki 00:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC) Repeated Copyvio, user TCR89 probable sockpuppet for TCrEoLe89 I looked up the Brittany Daniel page and found an image that is clearly some sort of publicity photo. I noticed you had previously removed this same image posted by editor TCrEoLe89, who you had then blocked indefinitely. The image was uploaded again to Wikipedia by user TCR89 and put on the Brittany Daniels page shortly thereafter by 148.61.13.4, which would indicate the two accounts are linked in some way. Additionally TCR89 has posted several other images which almost certainly are CopyVio's... furthermore based on the fact that this specific Brittany Daniel photo was posted by user TCrEoLe89 and the similarity between the two names, it seems clear TCR89 is a sockpuppet of TCrEoLe89. Based on all this request you block user TCR89. In the specific case of the Brittany Daniels page, user CRiyl correctly removed the image while I was in the process of writing this message, but it appears to still be in the Wikipedia image database as Image:Bdaniels.jpg. For my future knowledge in fighting CopyVio's like this, and for proper removal of the remainder of TCR89's contributions, how do you go about deleting the image properly from the database? I'm still fairly new at the whole vandalism/CopyVio fighting thing...

Could you consider undoing your block on 222.153.0.0/16? You blocked it for 6 months on hard block, which seems like an awful long time for such a wide range. The user has been unable to create an account, because no one listens to him. The Evil Spartan 00:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC) In general, I must ask you to reconsider your policy of giving out long hard blocks on such ranges: 210.50.228.0/24, 202.49.134.0/24, 207.69.0.0/16, 67.181.0.0/16, 66.236.0.0/16, 71.211.0.0/16, 4.139.0.0/16, and countless others I was able to find in your blocks within the space of a few weeks. I realize you may disagree with me on this, but these blocks have the effect of making WP a registration required site, and at that, one in which one must email an administrator to do so. This is not policy (it seems to run counter WP:BLOCK), and it seems these blocks are not good. The Evil Spartan 00:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Hi CSCWEM. I would appreciate if you could respond to this, and explain your decision on unblocking or not unblocking this range. The Evil Spartan 18:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC) These are actually soft-blocked (anon-only) with account creation disabled, not hard blocked, due to persistent and ongoing issues from these select ranges. Thank you, Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Dunin I think you should let the AfD stay open for a few more days. It was discovered yesterday that his only claim to notability is false. Arrow740 20:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC) I've just finished re-writing the article to remove original research and inaccurate statements and most of the early comments in this AfD relate to the previous version of the article. I'd recommend leaving it open a bit longer as well, since the personal attacks seem to have died down and people are concentrating on the content of the article. Tim Vickers 20:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Thank you both for your feedback. I am inclined to leave this closed as-is, but this does not preclude the possibility of relisting the article at a later date in an attempt to bring closure to this issue. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC) OK, that's fine. No reason for any hurry now the article is accurate. Having accurate but non-notable info hanging around isn't a reason to be very concerned. Tim Vickers 21:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Could you please review the above AfD? You closed it as keep, and it had 11 valid keep comments, and 15 valid delete comments. Since it is suppose to be a discussion, could you review the actual arguments for each side and comment? Most of the keeps were fairly weak comments... thanks! CO2 21:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC) See directly above.

Bottom line is that I seem to have ticked off a couple of young editors who now think I am evil and am trying to control everything and are reverting my edits to this article, which, well, the edit history is long, but I would suggest that I already have three horse-related articles that I led to GA status, so I think I do know what I am doing. The first person is simply acting like a troll (went and blanked my talk page) over my fairly gentle (I thought) suggestion that rather than just deleting a poor photo, that a better one be used to replace it. (The blanked photo was pretty mediocre, the problem was the blanking of a lead image). The second person is simply mad that I don't think she needs to put her photo of her harness pony into every page on wikipedia, and it doesn't fit as a lead image, either, now that I finally found a classic conformation shot that matches up with what is used in the other breed articles. Anyway, I will confess to a bit of snarkiness lately, had eye surgery three weeks ago, only see out of one eye at the moment, have restricted activities, spending too much time on Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean my edits aren't generally of at least moderately good quality. My last edit to the article was this one, and I would appreciate if it could be kept more or less intact for awhile, particularly as regards NOT using the harness pony photo as the lead photo, but rather as an illustration under "uses," where it fits nicely. Anyway, I am sort of on a short fuse about this, especially after dealing with another troll on another horse breed article not long ago, and wouldn't object to a few extra admin eyes on this article. Maybe no intervention is needed, but eyes help. Montanabw(talk) 03:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC) Delete disambiguation and redirect pages too? Dear can't sleep, The two pages coming from this disambiguation page have been deleted. Do we have to do an Afd or can they just be deleted? Same goes for this redirect page. Per the afds it seems the intention was to delete these pages but these specific variations weren't listed. Thanks, Renee Renee 12:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC) Adrian Bunk (page deleted) Could this page be undeleted? The subject is definitely notable (current maintainer of the Linux 2.6.16 kernel). The Linux Kernel is the largest open source computer software project in the world, and the role of Linux kernel maintainer puts him at the top of a very short list. The creator of the Linux kernel (Linus Torvalds) is regularly quoted in other articles in both print and electronic press. The other maintainers (including Alan Cox and Marcelo Tosatti) are also quoted regularly. He also will affect numerous corporations across the country by controlling the flow of software fixes and changes to the Linux 2.6 kernel, including products created by and/or sold by Red Hat, IBM, Novell, Sun, and many others. These products (Linux based computer systems) are used by perhaps millions of companies world-wide. All of this points to the fact that he satisfies the WP:BIO rules for notability, most specifically the professor test. I also note that the deletion vote was six votes. Is this standard? I wonder how many of the voters were familiar with the Linux kernel, with open source, and with computer software in general....  DavidDouthitt  (Talk) 17:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC) For what it's worth, I wish I had seen that AfD. The current maintainer of the Linux kernel is arguably one of the most prestigious (and notable) "position" in the Open source universe. I'm arguably a "deletionist" but I think that one should have stayed. — Coren (talk) 03:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC) Blocked IP 4.152.210.164 Whenever I try to edit things (usually discussions) without logging in (usually cause I assume I'm automatically logged in) I get this message that I'm blocked.

It might help to inform each user of our IP address that the college can identify them by name. As I understand it, though; a new message alert will only be given to the first user who logs in from our IP... We can educate them at this end, but for us to post a general "Please don't vandalise wikipedia" notice on the college's network might end up as an invitation to potential vandals. A notice on wikipedia that "Swansea College is watching you" might be more effective. What do you think? Ewen 10:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC) user talk page protection?
