GeorgianJorjadze

Hi. Just letting you know that I restored GeorgianJorjadze's access to his talk page this morning, in response to an e-mail request he sent me. I added yet another clear explanation on his talk page regarding the issues he must address before his existing one-month block can be terminated early. I'm watching his talk page, and if he posts there inappropriately again, I'll repent of my folly and re-block his talk page. — Richwales 18:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. GeorgianJorjadze is saying that he's still unable to edit due to (apparently) an IP address block imposed by you. I looked at the block log but was unable to find anything current for him, but I could easily be missing something. This was a few hours ago, and maybe the problem has been cleared up by now, but I wanted to be sure you knew about it in case the user didn't use the template properly and you didn't get notified. — Richwales 15:29, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I hardblocked him because he was socking. I've unblocked the IP now. Elockid (Talk) 20:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MSU Interview

Dear Elockid,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 18:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Satt

Gtbilisi, quacking within one edit. Still worth a look at CU I suppose. CMD (talk) 02:48, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look later on today when I'm on my main account. Elockid (Alternate) (Talk) 17:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a homophobe. The doesn't explain the map changes and the removal of the Asia templates though. I won't revert now, as I earlier fully reverted per the blocked users can't edit policy, but if it's not Satt II, the rest of the edit could be taken into consideration. I'll AGF on the PA is it's actually a new user I suppose. CMD (talk) 21:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They're editing through proxies (no big surprise there). Coupled with the proxy use, the personal attack, their UA and the editing area I'm going to say that there's a 99% chance it's them. Elockid (Talk) 21:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited List of agglomerations by population, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lyallpur (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Per request

One more. In general, you might want to keep an eye on this link, originally posted here, for new instances of this (it's how I found the edit, anyway). It Is Me Here t / c 16:54, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Thanks! That's really helpful. Elockid (Talk) 18:24, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
User:Jaymax0238. Can we get this link feature turned off? NawlinWiki (talk) 04:21, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if you tell PeterSymonds about such accounts he will Lock them for you. It Is Me Here t / c 12:28, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'll go bother Peter when I'm on IRC or Bsadowski1.
I blocked the proxy that Jaymax0238 has been editing. Didn't find any additional accounts. Not sure if we get the link feature turned off. Elockid (Talk) 21:39, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They're now coming through IPs, but my recent updates to filter 422 and Nawlin's 56 seem to be catching them all. See 78.47.41.29 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 198.168.27.224 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log).

Another account: Qlark Cable (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:27, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Handled. Elockid (Talk) 14:28, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Filter updated (again) to protect against the obfuscated CSS. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:09, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. Elockid (Talk) 16:10, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And yet another: Klaqueur (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). (Updated the filters again.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

user:chevara puppet

Hello Elockid. I see that you blocked chevara as a sock of Joe Circus. Should we not add it to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joe Circus or its archive? Garycompugeek (talk) 15:35, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Garycompugeek. Regarding Chevara, I didn't intend to block the account as a sock of JC. It came up as being related to another group of accounts. They were all using open proxies, so they could be related. Anyways, having a tag is enough IMO. Elockid (Talk) 01:12, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Thank you. Garycompugeek (talk) 19:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Varghesejacob

I stalk Moonriddengirl's page quite a lot and was looking at any way as a comment there about copyright bots caught my eye in my watch list as I'm in the process of getting a copyright bot up and running. Anyway I took a look at this account and blocked as it was quacking loudly enough for me. Hope you don't mind (only realised you were an admin afterwards). Is my first ever block so hope I got it all right and I'm more than happy for you to reverse or otherwise change anything. More on my reasoning on Moonriddengirl's talk page.

Gansler page, redirect to Gensler (disambiguation)

You have deleted a page "Gansler". I'd like to add a redirection page named "Gansler", pointing to "Gensler (disambiguation)". Gansler, Gensler, Gaensler, Gänsler are a bit ambiguous, and IMHO some of them would benefit from a shared disambiguation page.

Do you object to my adding this dismabiguation page?

Thank you for your kind attention.
