MrClaxson related

Hi, MrClaxson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) placed a comment about my general behaviour. It had absolutely no reference to the policy. I'd appreciate it if you didn't revert again; if you've got an issue with that then please leave a message on my talkpage.--Rambutan (talk) 17:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

See my reply here.--Rambutan (talk) 17:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

No. His edit did not reference the proposal, so it wasn't relevant. If you're really concerned, ask about it here: I'm 90% sure they'll say the same as I am. Sure, he's got a right to give his opinion, but he's got no right to give it in the wrong place. If he wants to complain about my actions, there are places where he can do that. A discussion page for a specific proposal is just that, and nothing else.--Rambutan (talk) 18:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

See my reply on the proposal page.--Rambutan (talk) 18:05, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Evidence

• Adding original research
• Adding unsigned comments
• Speaks for itself
• Blanking talkpage, , ,

Yours,--Rambutan (talk) 18:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, your example revision. Well, that was because the caption was changed to ProfYana, with a full explanation, and the anon changed it back without one. That is unilateral editing without discussion, which is a bit iffy. Anyway, that's one reversion out of ~175 on the article. Are the others all awful, or were some of them worth doing?--Rambutan (talk) 18:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sound of Drums

Yeah, but he's more commonly known as just "Mr Saxon" or "Harry Saxon" - we don't use full, mostly unused names like "Anthony Blair" and "Thomas Cruise" where we can use "Tony Blair" and "Tom Cruise". Will 11:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

The BBC have used the name "Harry" in the press summaries, and McFly used it in the teaser (and likely will do so in the episode). Will 11:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and I do know he was referred to as Harold in "The Lazarus Experiment". :) Will 11:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the BBC have the same amount of reliability as the episodes themselves. Will 11:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Can you source the Davros thing? As producers of the program, the BBC are reliable, and if it was a spoof, that doesn't impact their reliability. Will 11:19, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe User:Kelpin is conflating the BBC website with a prank that was played by an IMDB contributor. Mark H Wilkinson 12:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

This account has been indefinitely blocked for evading the block on User:MrClaxson. --Akhilleus (talk) 17:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): There is a lack of direct evidence regarding sockpuppetry. Raised possibility of unblock with blocking admin. Unblocking in the assumption of good faith. Request handled by: Vassyana 15:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I am contacting the blocking admin to sort this out. Please bear with me for a day or two. Cheers! Vassyana 18:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Further evidence that I am not MrClaxson. If you review all my edits on ip 83.105.96.154 (which I used before I had this account) you will see that I did not sign any of my comments until Rambutan told me how to here http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:83.105.96.154 . (I didn't sign them because I didn't know how to). If you look at the postings of MrClaxson and his alleged sock puppets you will find that most if not all are signed. Moreover Misplaced Pages guidance says you should assume Good Faith. Akhilleus has not done this. No one has complained that I am a sock puppet - Akhilleus has assumed bad faith on my part because I questioned his decision that MrClaxson was a sock puppet. Moreover Akhilleus has failed to respond to any of my emails to discuss this matter - even if he does not agree with me this would be the courteous thing to do, and what I was led to believe would happen from the guidance given to me at the time the block was placed.

Unblock

After discussing it with the blocking admin and taking a few days to look over everything & make sure things were well-considered, I have unblocked you. I hope you use this as an opportunity to (continue to) improve Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Vassyana 15:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help - the ip address block still seems to be in place though I get this message when I try to edit:

To request assistance with an autoblock:

   * IP address: 83.105.96.154
   * Blocking admin: Akhilleus
   * Autoblock ID: 550808
   * Original block reason: Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Kelpin". The reason given for Kelpin's block is: "block evasion, see contribs to user talk pages".
   * Your account name (if you have one): Kelpin 15:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kelpin, I just lifted the autoblock, so see if you can edit now. --Akhilleus (talk) 15:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad it worked. Happy editing! --Akhilleus (talk) 15:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Christmas Special

Ah, OK, I see the reference, sorry about that - I'll add a citation in there somewhere Stephenb (Talk) 10:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Rambutan

The irony of Rambutan's actions is that I do not know of a single case where he did not revert to the best available version. He has been a vigilent defender of the Doctor Who articles. The problem is that he has been too vigilent. The edit in question was a small revert, and a correct one. But it was still one of four in 24 hours, from someone who should know better. Phil Sandifer 12:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Then do you want him to leave the article full of OR and other c***? SalaSkan 20:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Kelpin: he was replying to the message above. He just did it here so it appeared coherent. Thanks for requesting my unblocking!--Rambutan (talk) 09:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your WP:FORUM offer; I'll bear it in mind!!--Rambutan (talk) 21:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Claxson sockpuppet

You didn't see what he's been doing. He keeps blanking it and replacing it with a note about the fact that he chose to leave Misplaced Pages, rather than was banned.--Rambutan (talk) 17:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I know you're not his sock, but that doesn't mean that he isn't. What's the chance that MrClaxson is nothing to do with a known sockpuppeteer with names like Claxson, KingClaxson, ClaxsonKing, KingoftheClaxsons... anyway, talkpage of banned users are usually protected if they continue griping. It's how things happen.--Rambutan (talk) 17:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

WP:FORUM violations

Hi, the following points would interest you:

• Admins do not rule on issues. If you don't understand the non-supervisory role of admins, you may as well leave Misplaced Pages.
• The comment was not related to improving the article. It had no substance. I'd even go so far as to call it trolling, since it was all false material and very drivelly.--Rambutan (talk) 15:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I quote: "Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal". I don't see how that can be misinterpreted. What I'm doing is 120.374% in line with that sentence.--Rambutan (talk) 15:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Either provide links to the comments so I can see what the hell you're jabbering about without having to click about 48 times, or shut up.--Rambutan (talk) 15:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Right, now I've had time to check what you mean... was the first comment removal, at 14:25. This is the one that's been contested. is the second, and has not been contested. Please check these things before flexing your fingers to type.--Rambutan (talk) 15:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• Hooray, hooray, hooray** !!!! *** I no longer have to continue this discussion. The whale-food has said that if I'm not civil, I don't have to discuss things! Hooray. Oh no, I'm being civil! Shit. Right, hooray** !, I'm not civil, I don't ahve to discuss this *** hooray !--Rambutan (talk) 15:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
