Message for IPs

If you are an IP and need to contact me, you can leave comments on this subpage. Thanks. -- Brangifer (talk) 21:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

Following is copied from User_talk:Brangifer (silly bot did not read your notice there) -- Scray (talk) 22:04, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. The thread is "Talk:Morgellons". Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! EarwigBot 03:32, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Talkback

Could I please get you to weigh in on at least Inquiry #3 (and on #1 and #2, of course, if you have anything to say in regard to those). TransporterMan (TALK) 16:00, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

About time someone blue-linked that

Hurrah for blue-linking SBM (website), but I think Novella was more instrumental in starting the site and is the closest they have to an (evil?) overlord, no? Or, you know, someone could just write an article for the project (hint, hint). I had missed seeing you around (my fault) - glad to see you are still at it. - 2/0 (cont.) 21:51, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

I think I did it because Gorski is the managing editor. If there's a more appropriate link, go for it. -- Brangifer (talk) 06:04, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I had forgotten that that is how they are doing it now, so that makes enough sense for now. - 2/0 (cont.) 14:58, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

A minor change to DRN

Hi there, you're getting this message as you are involved in a case at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard which is currently open. Today DRN has undergone a big move resulting in individual cases on subpages as opposed to all the content on one page. This is to inform you that your case is now back on the DRN board and you will be able to 'watch' the subpage it's located on. Thanks, Cabe6403 13:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

The system isn't working. There is no link that takes one to the subpage so it can be watched. I suspect some templates need to be fixed. In fact, there should not be any discussion content on the main page, only links to the subpages. -- Brangifer (talk) 02:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

nowiki

It looks as if VisualEditor has been enabled for IPs. That means that edits like this one (diff is your reversion) are not a result of deliberately adding nowiki tags. If you add any comment when reverting, something like "please review your changes before saving" would be more helpful. If we notice lots of these mistakes, a canned message for the user talk page would perhaps be sensible. --Mirokado (talk) 17:42, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, and your suggestion is a good one. -- Brangifer (talk) 18:00, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced message

The following was left for you for some reason on WP:DRN's main page, where I've reverted it, but thought you might want to see it. — TransporterMan (TALK) 02:47, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear Mr. BullRangifer, I have been trying to contact you about your continued erasing of my edits to the Pseudoscience template. I am attempting to erase creationism, intelligent design, and climate change skepticism from the list as listing these issues as pseudoscience is offensive to the many religious readers on Misplaced Pages, is biased in favor of atheists, and is declaring issues that are still under debate as over. If you could respond on this page or open up a dispute page we could discuss this further. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:174.24.99.93 (talk) 23:08, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I know what this is about, and I'll deal with it. It's an IP who doesn't understand that edit warring, even if the editor is 100% right, is not allowed here. We edit by consensus, and when an edit is opposed, we use the BRD process to get a discussion going. This works better than edit warring. I have explained all this and have been trying to get this IP to discuss, but had no luck. -- Brangifer (talk) 03:05, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

And now see this message and my response from the IP editor (now at 71.34.130.119). As you can see, I've left him a link to the edit screen for your talk page. I'm just acting as a conduit, no explanations needed to me. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Brangifer (talk) 15:29, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Famous customers/believers in mediums

I saw your comment on the mediumship article. There's no article for believers in mediumship, but there is a category for spiritualists, which contains many of the believers. So people like Palmer, they could perhaps be added to that category. Fodor Fan (talk) 00:56, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks. -- Brangifer (talk) 01:10, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

User:99.251.120.60

You think he's related to User:99.251.114.120 You also think 99.251.114.120 is related to User:KBlott. That means 99.251.120.60 is related to KBlott, right? pbp 20:21, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Others have made that connection, but I'm not sure how. I wasn't familiar with KBlott's existence before tracking this IP sock. What seems to be the case is that it is their behavior, not their IP's location, that draws attention to them. Their behavior is usually disruptive enough to draw many eyes to them. If they would do what many have advised (create an account), they might be able to edit in peace.....forget that....their penchant for disruption and attacking other editors seems to be why they refuse to create an account. They rarely make constructive edits, and their edits are often disputed. You can ask User:GabeMc about them. I'm sure he knows far more than I do. -- Brangifer (talk) 20:38, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

FTR, I was never convinced that Kblott and the Rogers Cable troll were one in the same. User:Joefromrandb stated that Bullrangifer was the first to connect the two (I'm not sure if that's accurate), but as far as I know there has never been a concrete connection. I have some pretty good ideas about who the Rogers Cable troll is, but I don't see anyway that they could be definitively connected to another known user. Bullrangifer, if you are interested in my theory, then feel free to email me, as it would contain some sensitive personal information about the suspected sockmaster, but again, as far as I can tell, there is not likely anyway to categorically make the connection given what little I know about CU tools. GabeMc 20:46, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Interesting. A lot of water under the bridge since then! I don't recall the details now, and have no problem with disconnecting the IP from Kblott. The connection may not have been very solid. It comes down to behavior in the end, although I hate sockpuppetry and think they should be blocked....IP hopping socks included. I'm also one of those editors who believe registration, after a short time editing with limited access, should be the norm. Otherwise, under our current rules, I only bother IPs who are disruptive or suspected of socking. -- Brangifer (talk) 20:58, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
