User talk:Jéské Couriano/Archive 7

• NOTE: If you leave a message for me here, I will respond to it here.
• NOTE: If you need to ask me a question regarding certain users, be aware that I will look into the history.
• NOTE: I reserve the right to remove any posts by anons unrelated to building an encyclopedia. Personal attacks, vandalism, Internet memes, etc. will be reverted on sight.
• NOTE: Other admins have ZERO permission to protect my page. For reasons which I have made clear before, I do NOT want my page protected from Jarlaxle's wethers, nor do I need it protected from them.

Page protection - Thank you

I just wanted to say thank you for adding the protection to my userpage, I much prefer it to be in it's current semi-protected state. Thank you again! ZX81 ^talk 21:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Better it's semi'd than you get harassed. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 21:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree with you. The Wiki protection page said a user page could be protected after it had been vandalised (which it has a few times now), but I wasn't sure how much vandalism was needed before I could request protection so I'm glad you did it before I got round to asking! ZX81 ^talk 21:25, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Here's a hint: If your userpage starts being redirected, request protection immediately - that usually means that JarlaxleArtemis has posted an edit URL on 4chan and thus that there'll be 80 more coming your way. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 21:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

How to find discussion on blocking?

Hi, I saw [this] block log and wanted to know how to find the discussion that led to the block. I did global searches for "Priyesh.786" and "User:Priyesh.786" in all namespaces and wasn't able to find anything. Thanks, Bongomatic 23:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

The user was constantly posting material copyrighted by two Indian universities and was repeatedly recreating the articles that I and other administrators had deleted as copyvios; he came back as User:Mamboitaliana100 and continued, stopping only when I explained to him that we couldn't accept his submissions after he asked me to unprot one of the pages he tended to recreate. See User talk:Jéské Couriano/Archive 6#unprotect page "Kurukshetra University". -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 23:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I know who it is (I did many of the speedy nominations and identified the sources). I just wanted to know whether there were discussions to block the user, or if such determinations can be unilateral and undocumented. Tx Bongomatic 13:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

For blatant and unrepentant copyright violations, the rule is block on sight, sooner rather than later on the off-chance the violator happens to be PT. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 13:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Your Opinion

Hi,

I wanted to know you opinion on starting a MFD on castrated ram's userpage. I am concerned it is a shrine. From other Wikis where they have also vandalised links to page including Uncyclopedia and Wikibooks along with numerous others. There's even a definition at urban dictionary about them. If the page stays do you think it may inspire copycats? Regards--DFS454 (talk) 13:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Please provide a link to the userpage - I'm not familiar with that user, and he doesn't seem to exist. Also, the Urban Dictionary entry is for the literal sense (i.e. a castrated male sheep). -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 13:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry if I was being ambiguous I thought I saw you using the Moniker for them DFS454 (talk) 14:14, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

The "wethers" don't have userpages other than IP pages. And in any case, I'm not the person you should be asking given that I have an axe to grind against Jarl. Find someone more neutral. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 14:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

Well, that was fun, eh? What glorious lives we admins lead. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 05:57, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I caught it after I read the AIV report that had gotten his right to make new accounts revoked; I was just boggled at the number of attack accounts made because someone forgot to check a box and the fact the blocking admin missed the sockfarm. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 05:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

What's weird is, the "prevent account creation" box is checked by default. So Bongwarrior had to un-check it. I have no idea why. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 06:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

It was a username softblock. SOP for those is to uncheck that box, so I can understand why he did it, but given the name, I would have hardblocked the name. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 06:07, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for those blocks but when blocking grawp accounts please block with email and talkpage blocked as well or else he abuses those as well --Chris 06:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Had I known beyond a doubt they were Jarl socks I'd've done so, Chris. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 06:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

'Bout the only joy I'm getting nowadays is getting rid of Jarl socks and Ubering Heavies, Yama. Nevertheless, I appreciate the thought. -Jéské Couriano ^{(v^_^v)} 21:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
