Nick - please quote where exactly on [[WP:SPEEDY]] it says G7 "does not apply to encyclopedic articles with extensive references." Bishonen is correct here. The page needs to be deleted. G7 is official policy and must be respected here. Even if G7 had that in the policy (it does not), [[WP:COMMON]] and courtesy to fellow editors is also important. But policy is clear.

  • If you write a reply to me here, I may decide to move your text back to your talk page in an effort to keep the thread in one place.
  • If you are just pointing out something written to me elsewhere.
  • Such pointers are useful if you've written to a comment I made many days ago.
  • Be civil and assume good faith. Trolling and personal attacks are likely to be removed.

Review

Regarding your block on user:vinay412. User:kuntan is not at all related to user:vinay412. They belong to different languages namely malayalam and kannada respectively. You being indian admin, can recognise this fact by contributions i suppose. Kindly review your block on user:vinay412, who has hardly been disruptive, you may even use checkuser kuntan for confirmation. Regards. Miyamw 14:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kuntan is still around? It surprised me when I found out that he was still here. Also, could you review what I sent you, when you get a chance. I'd like to send all of it in by next week. -- Samir 23:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He is around: Special:Contributions/59.91.253.161. User:sameer, I think you are mistaking me for someone else. Miyamw 03:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever - Miyamw is still a sockpuppet of user:vinay412. andy 08:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Kuntan is multi-lingual. Argument flawed. :) — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 05:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Kuntan maybe possibly multi-lingual, but he cant exist in two places in same time. 59.91.253.161(Kuntan) is cochin, but user:Vinay412 belongs to Bangalore(checkuser), or ip which you were asked to unblock by user:Vinay412(in his first contributions) belongs to bangalore(no need of checkuser). How'bout this argument? Lara_bran 06:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mmhmm, are you checkuser? — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 08:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, they are referring to the publically available results of a previous checkuser. Lara_bran (talk · contribs) has behaved enough like Vinay for me to be suspicious for months but not enough to be able to confirm it. I actually came to your page to request that you review the behaviour of Lara_bran in respect of the article shemale, including such things as rudeness in edit summaries (mostly accusing anyone who opposes their edits of vandalism) and refusing to discuss issues on the talk page, then coming out with these little gems: Adding references, 3 of 4 of which are duplicates of ones already on the page and claiming that removal of the duplication would be vandalism. I'm not really surprised to see that Lara_bran is speaking up in support of Vinay &/or Kuntan. The comment about existing in 2 places at once makes me wonder if they are bouncing through a remote proxy to create the impression of geographical separation. --AliceJMarkham 03:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Account blocked indefinitely. This is not the first time Kuntan would be using multiple ISPs. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 08:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh, and did I mention thank you? :) --AliceJMarkham 09:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The United States of Wikipedia has a "No-Negotiations" policy with terror-trolls. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 09:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. Just, wow! Thank you all. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 11:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another IP

Sheesh. Special:Contributions/59.91.253.76... Does this Look familiar? I seem to remember vinay doing this before. I don't understand this one but they're obviously not happy. :p --AliceJMarkham 09:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Range blocked. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 09:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The English language skills of that IP address are far better than Lara and the other Vinay socks. Is the language inability just a foil, to intentionally complicate editors' efforts to resolve issues with him/her? -- User:RyanFreisling @ 11:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is a good possibility that more than one banned trolls are involved now. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 15:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While we're at it...

I also suspect that Ms Hooha (talk · contribs) and Prab gen (talk · contribs) may be a vinay/kuntan socks.

  1. Human body shape was deleted and changed to a redir following an AfD on 4th June.
  2. Ms Hooha account created 10th June,
  3. Ms Hooha attempted to paste a saved copy over the redir on 18th June but it was reverted.
  4. Prab gen account created a few hours later (18th June)
  5. 3 mins after Prab gen account was created, it started article Body shape with a slightly different copy of the deleted article.

Ms Hooha appears to have been abandoned and Prab gen is keeping a remarkably low profile but the sequence of events is remarkably suspicious... --AliceJMarkham 11:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why doesn't another sockpuppet account surprise me?

I suspect that This is all (talk · contribs) might be a use-once-and-discard AttackSock account. Created after Lara bran's 1st unblock request was denied and half an hour before the 2nd unblock request. What a surprise. Not. :(

By the way, is there somewhere else that I should be raising these issues, or is it okay to bring them here? --AliceJMarkham 14:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets

Hello. I'm not sure if you've seen this category. I've noticed quite a few open proxies putting themselves into it (which I've removed), and there's currently a few dynamic IPs left in it. You probably know the background (and perhaps the category creator) better than me, so I leave its future to you. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion

Nick - please quote where exactly on WP:SPEEDY it says G7 "does not apply to encyclopedic articles with extensive references." Bishonen is correct here. The page needs to be deleted. G7 is official policy and must be respected here. Even if G7 had that in the policy (it does not), WP:COMMON and courtesy to fellow editors is also important. But policy is clear. If I'm misreading the policy, please come on the article talk page or on ANI and quote exactly where it says that about "encyclopedic articles". --Aude (talk) 12:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
