All over the place
I seem to be running into you all over the place! Thanks for the quick intervention at Stephen Colbert and all the tireless work you do here, and good luck on exams that end the 24th (my birthday!). Cheers! /Blaxthos 21:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks...
... for closing that interminable thread on WP:AN/I. Good luck with exams. MastCell 22:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Suggestions?
Do you have any suggestions as to what can be done about blatant vandals who blank their talk pages to hide their warnings? KatalavenoTC 03:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Sockpuppetry ... ?
Just FYI, I was referring to policy WP:BLOCK (not "blockquote", seriously). However, is there any reason you don't suspect sockpuppetry going on? I seem to be seeing Telltale Sign Number One of socks, being that as soon as a user is blocked, not one, but two, users come to the blocked's defense, saying, "yeah, the block was in error and let's admit it". What do you think? Yuser31415 07:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Why me? Why solely me?
In response to your comment about the ongoing 3RR war with that other member. Yes, I understand the frustration and I do want it to end as much as you...but I do NOT see how you can pin the blame SOLELY on me. He is just as much to blame as I am, but you never female-dog him. Only me. I don't find that fair. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CBFan (talk • contribs) 17:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for putting my edit onto the main page, as soon as I did it I realised what I had done. It showed up that the last edit to the page was from me on my watchlist, but when I tried to revert it in the page history, my edit didn't show up - god damn servers! thanks again RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 00:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
AIV and ParalelUni
I would not call another user "despicable" lightly, and I had a specific reason for saying what I said to a likely sock of that user. Please see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/St Christopher#ParalelUni_is_uncivil and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/St Christopher/Evidence. There was a wide consensus in that case that this user's conduct may have been the worst in the history of Wikipedia. Newyorkbrad 02:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- So because a user acted badly makes it okay for admin to discuss them in an uncivil way particularly when they can't respond? That hardly seems appropriate. Bad form. 67.177.149.119 02:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

3RR
Dear Phyicq,
thanks for unblocking me .... it was a very genuine mistake - I assumed that if I were following the guidelines for NPOV then with a { { POV } } tag that the other parties would take it seriously and follow the procedure - I also thought that administrators would not only rebuke those who were removing the { { POV } } tag, but congratulate me (or at worst explain where I was going wrong with the procedure). The last thought on my mind was that I would be reprimanded when I was constantly explaining my actions - and I honestly didn't remember the 3RR (but in retrospect, it does ring a bell ... but not a big one!
Worst still, I now have three reputable articles all of which give credence to a number of experts holding a view that is contrary to that in the article. What do I do? Ignore the fact the article is POV?
But, I can't blame you for doing the right thing in this case - and there must be so many other disputes so I'm not asking for special treatment .... but a genuine thanks! Mike 11:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Please chime in if you have any thoughts
There's an interesting experience going on over at WikiProject California, and WikiProject Southern California.
Some time ago, WikiProject California members had placed their project tags on all articles about California cities. Those tags have been in place for some time. Recently certain members of WikiProject Southern California, after discussion on that project's talk page (only), decided to remove the WikiProject California tags for (almost all) Southern California cities, and replace the tags with WikiProject Southern California tags - only.
That is, the WikiProject Southern California members didn't simply add the WikiProject Southern California tag to Southern California cities, the WikiProject California tags were completely removed. This was done apparently without consultation with the WikiProject California members.
We are gathering responses to the following questions on those projects' talk pages:
- Do you have a view whether the WikiProject California tag should be removed from a large number of cities in Southern California?
- Do you have a view whether city article for Southern California cities should have more than one WikiProject tag?
Please let us know if you have a view! Spamreporter1 16:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

- You seemed uncertain as to why I simply reverted and didn't follow up; I wasn't sure whether to close it or mark for speedy, so I logged on to IRC to get the opinion of others before going ahead with either. ~ PseudoSudo 04:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
RfA closing templates
Where are they? I wanted to close Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/HyperSonicBoom early (for the same reason you did), but I couldn't find the templates and I was about to head out (enough time to just do a copy/paste of a subst:, but not enough time to hunt down a denied RfA and adapt it).

United Kingdom
Hi, I see you just reverted an anon edit to this article. If you check the page history you'll see a pattern of identical IP edits by various socks. El C semi protected the page as a result, but as you see the sockpuppets have returned now the protection has expired. Could you restore the semi-protection? I'm a little bored of making reverts to that article frankly! Thanks, WjBscribe 04:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind Kuru has done it. WjBscribe 04:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
it gets weirder
Since you've been dealing with Nkras's legal threats, I'd like to know what you think of this: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Restoring banned user Nkras' edits in userspace? Is that over the line? Certainly seems very problematic. — coelacan talk — 05:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Is this users actions allowed?
- Hey there (:O) ... we have an ongoing debate over here on the status of an article. Now the thing I wanted to bring up was the editing and removal and well forceful rhetoric stating the result of the debate before it has even been decided. The one causing all this is User:Ideogram. I have tried so hard to be loving and understanding during this debate, but now I dont know if what the user is doing is right or wrong. I dont know who to go to, so I figure I may ask someone who is very familiar with the wikipedia world and how this should be dealt with maybe? Not sure. Please help.

problems with user 70.23.*.*
Hi Physicq210 - I saw that you have had problems with the same anonymous user I've had long-standing problems with on the Nadine Gordimer article and now on Bailey v. Alabama. (User talk:70.23.199.239, previously User talk:70.23.177.216.) The user persistently reverts without ever addressing substantive comments; when the user does engage in discussion it does so with considerable incivility and accusations of censorship, personal motivation, and so on. I was starting to try to figure out the next step in dealing with this person, who for 3 or 4 months now has just been disruptive on Nadine Gordimer (and it appears, from looking at his history), on other articles as well. But I've been blindsided by a family crisis, so I'm hoping for a little help in figuring out what to do. If you know the next step in the process -- mediation? arbitration? -- I'd be happy to take it (next week). But I'm very tired of having to spend time reverting frankly racist insertions on these articles (and documenting it), which takes my time away from doing more meaningful things, and discourages other editors from also contributing constructively. Help? --lquilter 16:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

If you could take a look at James Buchanan, I would appreciate it. Someone is reverting my edits to reinsert material sourced only to Lies Across America--a Kitty Kelly-style gossip rag book--and a Salon opinion piece.

Username violation
Users are prevented from registering usernames that reference religious figures (e.g., Jesus, Krishna, Allah, etc.). However, usernames that contain those names are not necessarily violations, as in this case. -- Merope 04:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Response
Hi, Physicq210, thank you for your comments on WP:ANI. I've seen the discussion at User_talk:Certified.Gangsta#This_is_bullshit. I could respond to the false accusations made by Certified.Gangsta on his talk page point by point but he has a history of removing comments from his talk page. I request that we keep this discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Ban-Evasion. Thanks. LionheartX 06:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Requesting Your Attention re: User:Will Beback
User:Will Beback is an admin. He inserted himself in the discussion on Talk:James Buchanan, which was fine. As the discussion had gotten pointed, and another user, User:G2bambino had clearly violated WP:AGF, I asked Beback to look into it. He then proceeded to admonish all of us to "be nice" or some such thing, rather than looking at the specific issue I asked him to. From there, a discussion ensued on both his talk page and my own, in which he asked for--and I provided--some examples of the violations I claimed. It became clear to me that he didn't WANT to warn the other user. In fact, after all of that, and no loss of civility on my part, he warned ME about "civility"! It's become apparent to me that he simply does not like me much, and as such I ask that you take a look at the discussion as a neutral observer and give me your take. I feel Beback is abusing authority as an admin (and I'm not alone in this feeling, as evidenced by the message left on his discussion page on 7 FEB), but I do not know the appropriate channels to lodge my complaint with. I ask that you review my contribs. I attempt only to improve the Wikipedia presidential articles. I don't make many controversial edits or anything like that, and I don't use profanity, nor personal attacks as part of my reportoire. Your opinion on this would be appreciated.K. Scott Bailey 15:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The Chacor RfA Discussion Page
There are three editors and/or admin teaming up to continually delete a thread I started on the Chacor RfA in order to avoid WP:3RR. I would appreciate your taking a look at the history there, and asking them to stop blanking my thread. I have asked two of them to stop, but it's like they're just "passing the baton" to each other, almost trying to bait me into a violation of 3RR. Thanks.K. Scott Bailey 05:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
