Talk page watchers: Landmark Education

Landmark Education has been messed up pretty badly with corporate PR and removal of critical content. If anybody would like to do a good deed for Wikipedia, check that article and see if you can bring it into better compliance with WP:NPOV. Jehochman ^Talk 15:37, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

GA Nomination for WTC Collapse Article?

Hi again Jonathan. It doesn't look like anyone is really working on the WTC collapse article any longer. That would suggest that the issues that kept it from retaining its GA status have been resolved. I was about to nominate it myself, but then I noticed that part of the procedure would require me to violate my ban (posting to the talk page). GA with the hope of FA might be away to re-energize work on the article.--Thomas Basboll (talk) 14:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look. Jehochman ^Talk 15:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Xinunus

Thanks for help on sorting the sock puppet case. I don't think we have seen the last of the user. Unfortunately. I think they might already be back with 199.209.144.211 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). The ip is reverting stuff on Xinunus and adding the same warning to my talkpage. Mind taking a look? Thanks. --Patrick (talk) 17:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

User:LemonMonday

Hi Jehochman. This is just a courtesy note. Two other checkusers have reviewed the Blue Bugle case and have determined the above account to be  Unlikely. Per the technical evidence, I'm going to unblock with a warning re. their apparent pursuit of User:HighKing. Sorry about all the trouble - Alison ^❤ 21:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Okee dokee. Jehochman ^Talk 22:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough on the technical evidence showing that they're not sock-puppets - thanks to all involved for the efforts. But I'm very concerned that LemonMonday has stated You won't give me the benefit of the doubt so I've no alternative but to become a sockpuppet! A sockpuppet of the now defunct LemonMonday. I and others will continue in due course to challenge the edits of the disruptive HighKing until such time as he's prevented from damaging this project further. on his Talk page. In the words of Cole Porter - "There will be trouble ahead"... --HighKing (talk) 10:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Another editor just popped up on the radar - User:MidnightBlueMan, account created Sept 30th, and is just starting on a reversionfest. --HighKing (talk) 18:19, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

What is this? A reversionfest, how funny! but it's a good word. No, I have not "popped up" as you put it. I was editing as an IP and signed up on 30th September at the request of User:Snowded on the British Isles Talk page. Can you please stop removing British Isles for illegitimate reasons. I note your long history in this activity. MidnightBlue (Talk) 18:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

(outdent)Apologies. Has already been reported here too. I notified you here also since you have knowledge of the situation and interceded previously. I won't post here again on this topic, and feel free o remove this comment also. --HighKing (talk) 14:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

You are mentioned

At WP:ANI#Harassment. ScienceApologist (talk) 22:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Please respond at the CU case to give the supporting diffs requested by me, if you would be so kind. Just saying "I wash my hands" of an incomplete case is probably not a good approach. ++Lar: t/c 22:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I am short on time at the moment, but I have done my best under the circumstances to present the evidence. I find it remarkable that SA is tag teaming on two occasions a month apart with closely connected IPs. The simplest and most probably explanation that it's the same editor.

TharkunColl behaviour

Hi, in light of the recent activities of Blue Bugle and LemonMonday, can you also please take a look at the activities of User:TharkunColl. It is obvious that he regularly looks at my contributions and reverts my edits. We have had a number of edit wars in the past, I admit, but that was borne out of frustration. He constantly wholesale reverts whatever recent edits I make without discussion, and usually with comments designed to incite a reaction. He rarely if ever discusses the edits, and always leaves comments such as "Reverting wholesale vandalism" or "Removing politically driven POV", etc. I've asked him to stop several times, and left warnings on his Talk page. While I don't believe he sock-puppets, his actions are remarkably similar to LemonMonday and Blue Bugle. Here are a number of recent reverts from the last 30 minutes:

• European Green Party
• Cup and ring mark
• Old-time music
• Drovers' Road

There's numerous other examples going back such as

• Derry and Derry
• Saint David

but if you go back over his edit history, they're pretty obvious. As an administrator that is uninvolved but has experience examining similar cases, please take a look. Thank you. --HighKing (talk) 15:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Can you copy the above content to WP:WQA for wider discussion? Jehochman ^Talk 16:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if that is the right place, but OK, I'll start there. --HighKing (talk) 17:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

RFAR exercise

Hi. I have a question about the RFAR excercise, which I posted to the Coaching page. How should I analyze the case? What should I look for, and what sort of understanding do I need to develop? Thanks. SunDragon34 (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Just read the case main page, then the evidence page, and then go to the workshop and make helpful comments. The committee likes to get feedback from the community on various workshop proposals. You are also welcome to investigate the conflict and present evidence if you think important factors are missing. Jehochman ^Talk 22:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Review

Would you mind reviewing my recent edits and saying what I've done good and bad? I've been editing when I get the time. I try to edit every day, but it doesn't always happen. Undead Warrior (talk) 16:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I think you are doing fine. You have not been blocked, nor warned, and you picked up a barnstar. What sort of tasks would you like to do if you became an administrator? Jehochman ^Talk 19:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the Hemshin peoples entry

I have noticed that you are aware of the Hemshin peoples entry through your exhange with admin Khoikkoi on your talk page on 28 September 2008. This entry is again under wholesale revert attacks taking it back to a version of app. a year ago. I have placed a notice about one of the whole reverters (user Eupator) on WP:AE (User: Eupator with regards to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2's decisions). I just wanted to inform you about this situation. Thanks.Omer182 (talk) 17:05, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

ANI case of HK & Tharky

Hello Jehochman. I did the duty of informing HK, of the ANI report being cancelled. I hope I didn't overstep boundries. GoodDay (talk) 19:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

That's fine. The matter is at WP:AE. We should try to resolve this with a minimum amount of fuss and drama. Posting the same issue to multiple forums at the same time is not helpful. Jehochman ^Talk 19:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
