Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/24.3.180.166

Hello, I noticed you've closed my sock puppetry case for "lack of manpower," but like I've explained in my July 28 edit, an admin (Thatcher) confirmed that the user Fragments of Jade and 76.120.173.40 were one and the same despite their claims to the contrary.

Shouldn't that be enough to close the case?

That would be helpful, as that user has been quite bothersome in the past few weeks... Ludicrous and baseless accusations of racism, sock puppetry, etc... Erigu (talk) 00:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, yes, that should be enough. Thatcher is an admin and a checkuser. However, there's no reason for the SSP case, if that's so. Thatcher or any other admin could simply have blocked based on that. Sorry for the inconvenience. Enigma ^message 00:44, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, the confirmation from Thatcher came a while after I filed the SSP case, so...

But what should I do now? I told Thatcher about the sock puppetry case, but nothing got done...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh, don't be, really! I'm actually grateful for your quick reply. If anything, I'm sorry for bothering you with that... Erigu (talk) 02:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Fragments of Jade has two prior blocks for edit-warring, too. I'd recommend going to User talk:Thatcher again and asking for blocks based on his findings. I suppose the other option would be to file another SSP case, but I doubt that it's worthwhile. Hope it works out! Enigma ^message 02:37, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I guess I'll try and ask Thatcher again... I feel a bit bad about asking him again about that, but... ^^;

Thank you very much anyway! Erigu (talk) 05:41, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I would but...

It's one of those books I was forced to read as part of the curriculum (it's a common mandatory text in the Australian English Higher School Certificate) that made me stop reading because of how poorly written and overrated it was. It left me with a sour taste in my mouth and I didn't pick up novels again for another year and a half.

While I would like to aid in fixing the article I currently have other issues in real life that is keeping me from doing anything really contributory to wikipedia outside of basic janitorial tasks, I only de-prodded the article because despite my disdain for it it is a notable work. I will, however, in due course aid as best I can when I get an opportunity. –– Lid^(Talk) 06:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Something doesn't smell quite right here. Footballfan was blocked following the SSP/RFCU, yet he still edited today? Also, what's up with this edit from Darkspots? GlassCobra 04:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

That edit was made by Footballfan on his talk page, not by Darkspots. Footballfan is able to edit his own talkpage, but not anywhere else. I reverted that edit because it's out of line, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary going on. Cheers, Enigma ^message 04:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Wait, I see your confusion now. What happened was Footballfan made a post and fraudulently signed it with Darkspots's signature, making it appear that Darkspots made a racially-motivated attack. He then responded as if Darkspots had actually said it. I'm going to push for an indef block. Enigma ^message 04:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Reopen case

I would like for you to reopen this case if at all possible. The reason given -"There is not enough manpower on a volunteer-run encyclopaedia to deal with this. Consider checkuser"- for closing it does not seem suitable to me. I would understand if you said it may take some time, in which case you would have to leave it open longer. I doubt that there is lack of manpower. I was told that the evidence was inconclusive, so I would prefer it if the admins would all be on the same page when it comes to closing a case. As far as checkuser goes, I do not think it will reveal anything given that the suspect is thought to have IP spoofing software. I have more evidence to submit. While this would make the case bigger, I would like some feedback on how to proceed. Libro0 (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

There is a clear lack of manpower. No one bothers with SSP cases like that because they're too long, okay? So no one bothers. So only Enigmaman and I bother to deal with it. But we cut the crap. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 19:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Mariano Messera

Hi, I noticed your recent "major cleanup" of Mariano Messera, two things, you deleted the sort key leaving the article without a defaultsort key of any description and you replaced the piped link to Association football with a piped link to a redirect page, Football (soccer) was moved rather a long time ago. I fixed these problems. EP 21:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Whoops, I forgot to add the default sort. The current default sort is preferable to what was there before. As for the piped link, you'll need to fix that on a bunch of other articles as well. That's the link the articles for the entire team has been using. Enigma ^message 13:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

You know, I did a ton of work on Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata articles on Tuesday night. I don't know why you're so angry about one mistake. Enigma ^message 13:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry I came across as angry, another editor has warned me not to assume bad faith. I'm not sure that I did assume bad faith, I never accused you of deliberately damaging the article, I just pointed out the minor mistakes you made. Perhaps I was a little terse, I apologise for any hurt feelings. I should have said that I appreciate any effort to improve Wikipedia coverage of Argentine football before I said anything else. Perhaps you would like to look at Wikiproject Argentine football, feel free to sign up (if you can stand working alongside Mr angry;-). Regards EP 21:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

New SSP

I have submitted a new SSP. In this case I have removed the anonymous IPs that were in the previous case. I have also removed the Box Benefits and Omero Tognon since those represent a different situation. Both myself and the suspected puppetmaster have accused each other of making those. In my opinion that would be enough to close those. The third possibility that they belong to a legitimate 3rd party is extremely unlikely for a variety of reasons.

• "At that time both at the college and pro levels, offenses were a drab scrum of running the ball with only occasional passes. In what was then the predominant single-wing formation, the quarterback was primarily a blocking back and rarely touched the ball. Most passing was done by the tailback, and then usually only on third down with long yardage to go. Halas and his coaches (primarily Clark Shaughnessy) invented a rather complex scheme building on the traditional T-formation, but needed the right quarterback to run it properly."
• "Upon starting with Halas, Luckman mastered an offense that revolutionized football, and became the basis of most modern professional offenses. Only Sammy Baugh of the Washington Redskins had the passing skills to match Luckman. Eventually, Luckman tutored college coaches across the Big Ten, Notre Dame and West Point in the intricacies of the passing game."

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 03:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I can't seem to find this in the archives, any help would be appreciated. - jc37 11:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll take a look when I find a few minutes. Enigma ^message 14:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Come join R.E.V.E.R.T

Come join my new organization of anti-vandals - Rancid Editing Vandals Eating the Reverter's Talc. Where we patrol the recent changes in all directions and revert any bad things.

So come, Come, COME! RoryReloaded (talk) 20:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how I go about joining this if I wanted to. Enigma ^message 18:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Alright. If you want to join, sign a form at the subpage and I'll let you in! RoryReloaded hasn't been civil (talk) 05:32, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: IP

That IP is making some interesting edits. Definitely an experienced Wikipedia user. Thanks for the heads up and I'll keep a close eye on his contribs. Useight (talk) 01:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I, too, find his remarks there completely out of line, but by the time I saw your comment (I was watching a football game), he had stopped editing for nearly an hour. Blocking now (or then) would be punitive. I will be watching him closely and will not hesitate to block if he instigates one more personal attack. Useight (talk) 04:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the Utah game was a great game to watch. The last few minutes were especially intense. Useight (talk) 04:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

I noticed your comment on the admin noticeboard, and I'm surprised you aren't an admin. Do you think you've improved from your errors that caused the last RFA to fail? If so, I think you'd make a good admin, and would be willing to nominate you. It was brought to people's attention that only 6 admins were created last month, so more are really needed. Cheers, -- how do you turn this on 17:16, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I've improved upon whatever I could. I'm not ready to run yet, though. Thanks for the offer! Enigma ^message 18:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

And it has been four months since your last RFA. I'd support whenever you feel ready. Useight (talk) 06:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

That's encouraging. :) Enigma ^message 14:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

thanks for cleaning up after me!

here. I never know what to do with reports once they're done. Hope all is well in Enigma-man world. My watch list is too quiet with Keeper gone. TravellingCari 20:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. Was looking through SSP to see if I could get the number down so it wouldn't be so daunting. 67 open cases still, but that's better than it was. All is well here. Hope it's the same by you, with the new apartment and all. I didn't know Keeper was gone. I saw Gladys is up at RfA. Enigma ^message 20:18, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

All good here. Busy with work but loving what I'm doing so it's all good. That said, still looking forward to my vacation in December. Keeper is gone, semi-indefinitely. There's a discussion on Tan's page which is more readble than Keep's. TravellingCari 20:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

My editing has gone down as well due to other responsibilities, work included. Enigma ^message 14:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Ditto here. Did you make the get together yesterday? I couldn't. TravellingCari 18:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Nah, I can't make those Wikipedia takes Manhattan events. Maybe the next meetup. Enigma ^message 07:19, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Two Points

Number One: Your warning to me about the Mitchelstown article. As someone who is in Mitchelstown and a frequent basis, and is actually in Ireland and knows things about this country, Morgan Whelan is a well known throughout the country for a number of different reasons.

Number Two: Your editing TWICE of the Elijah Dukes article. Yet failing the give a valid reason and refusing to explain yourself.

Number Three: Your editing of the Rachelle Leah article. You removed my info about her appearing in playboy and gave your reason that the information was "unsourced". Despite the FACT that playboy had announced it. Never mind the fact that this site is one built on unsourced information. - Hendrixx13 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hendrixx13 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

No, it really is not. Enigma ^message 02:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes it is. And it was a good site til the Hitler brigade took control. --Hendrixx13 (talk) 14:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I suggest you read our policies, like WP:V. Enigma ^message 14:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

RfA

Hello. I'm considering nominating you for adminship.

Some questions:

1. Ever had an ER?
2. RfA?
3. Been blocked?
4. What horrible skeletons lie in your editing cupboard?
5. Got much experience at AfD?
6. How would you characterise your civility?

Might add more, but that's it for now. --Dweller (talk) 16:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

ER

RfA

No

Nothing too bad. A few scrapes here and there.

I've participated in my share, but AfD participation is not my forte.

I think I'm generally civil, although I cannot really judge myself. Enigma ^message 07:19, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, we're nearly there now. Sorry for hurdles (but I'm a pussycat compared to RfA!). Please see this thread. I would be grateful if you would respond there. Many thanks --Dweller (talk) 15:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for clarifying, E-man. If you decide to you're gonna stand, then I wish you good luck. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 02:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Do you have any additional thoughts or advice? Thanks, Enigma ^message 03:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Meetup discussions

No problem. Hey, I should actually thank you for starting that thread on the Meetup page and getting the discussion going. I was kind of sick that night, and I'm glad you got to it. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 16:15, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
