Hi Bart! I did some reading to get to the bottom of whether to use "External links" or "References" for links like those found on the ] page, and this is what I came up with -- the ] says in part:

If I read these guidelines correctly, the Hannah article is aptly tagged for cleanup for lacking inline citations -- but the links which are provided do serve as general references, and therefore do not belong in the external links section. Does that make sense? -- ] (]) 04:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

After a long series of warnings about your disruption, I finally warned you earlier in ] that if you continued to insert your personal bias on the ] page and violating the consensus discussed in the ] you would be blocked for one week. Then you continued, but still I and others tried to discuss it with you ] and you were warned by myself and others to stop being disruptive on that page. I thought the message had finally gotten through, since you seemed to be greatly improving in your edits and I was very happy. But then, for no reason whatsoever, you do in complete disregard for the fact that the consensus on the talk page is not to reference her possible age fib due to a lack of its publication in third-party, ].


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
I said that "I'm fine with changing her to longevity claim, if we apply the standard to EVERYONE who turns 110 until they are verified by an international body." Well, you didn't put her in one category or the other, just accused her of not being 111 (true or not is irrelevant thanks to ]) and you didn't do the same for ], whom you edited three minutes before. Therefore, because you have received a dozen warnings and yet continue to be disruptive and ignore consensus on the page, I am blocking you for 72 hours. I brought it down from my original warning of a week because I think you've done a lot of constructive work over the past week or so and you've been very respectful. But nothing excuses constant disruption after this many warnings from this many users. Cheers, ] 15:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

By the way, Bart, as for your editing of my text, I understand English is not your fluent language, so you follow it in a very computer-like sense. When I say the number 2 (and not two), I did it on purpose. I type out numbers, then spell them for a very courtesy reason: which is more easier for you to read, three hundred fourty-seven or 347? And, as for my usage of commas, my intent in that wasn't to try to be grammatically correct, but to let the readers know when to pause. Anyways, this is your talk page, so...

This is the difference between editing someone's text where they "accidentally" made a mistake, or when it was their intent. I understand you do not feel the word "accidentally" deserves to have quotes around it, but removing it would be redundant (assuming I did it on purpose). ] (]) 23:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
:I understand, but the whole point is in fact that I wanted to point out that his edit hadn't been reverted and her claimed age isn't validated at all either though. ] (]) 14:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

== Disruption already? ==

Consider this another in a long string of warnings about , which I believe you have been blocked for several times in the past, even beyond the dozens of warnings you've received from others. Also, in this case, you didn't even edit it properly since correct English would never say that he has "the Italian nationality". You've already done it in the hour that you have been back. Please, be respectful of the ] from now on. Cheers, ] 16:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

:Here you are, a , this time changing the context of the individual's comments. I'll be charitable enough to attach this warning to the one above, but keep in mind you've been asked not to do this by many other people in the past. Cheers, ] 16:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

::Okay then, but he wrote about "the Italian nationality" himself, you know. ] (]) 16:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

:::Consider your final warning on editing other people's talk page comments. How many warnings do you need? Do not, under any circumstances, touch other people's comments unless it is required for the page to be readable or on your own talk page. Cheers, ] 00:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
::::It seems like Bart has made no real changes to the comments, only fixing them so it looks better to him in his understanding of English. ]]]] 19:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::] clearly state that no one's comments should be edited unless required for the page to display properly. Bart has not only been warned about this policy in the past, but has been blocked several times in the past for disruptively violating it. He does not have an excuse to act this way.

== Katherine Plunket ==

Bart, grow a brain. The ] is a European case. When BrownHairedGirl worked hard on un-stubbing it, she changed the Month N, Year format to N Month Year format. I accidentally made a mistake of putting it in the U.S. format, and fixed it. Matter fact, everywhere in the article did it use the N Month Year format, not Month N, Year. I see you already reverted to my edits twice without providing any explanation. If you revert back to the U.S. format again, I'll be sure to let BrownHairedGirl know, and I betcha you won't want her on your case.

Matter fact, the article itself also belongs to WikiProject: Ireland, and looking at several of her articles (preferably her grandfather), they all follow the N Month Year format. I don't think WikiProject: Ireland would approve of your U.S edits either.

By the way, you're not from the U.S. either, so why use the U.S. format? I know the Gerontology Research Group says "December 15" for the day Delina Filkins died, so I don't think it violates a policy for changing it to 15 December, eh? ] (]) 17:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC).

:Well: just plain logic since everywhere else in the very same article all dates are written starting with the number too. ] (]) 17:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

:What number? Everywhere in her article uses the N Month Year format. Everywhere except where you previously reverted to. ] (]) 18:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC).

::Not that this has anything to do with the year issue, but I do find it odd that BrownHairedGirl, who usually does a lot of work at Ireland related articles, did some work here instead of nominating for deletion or merging. Interesting... I think this inherant bias should be noted at the mass AfDs. For example, she tagged ] as non-notable and merged it into ]. Now, several months later, his article contains 13,000+ bytes and is currently awaiting promotion to Good article status. ]]]] 17:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 00:05, 19 November 2024

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Bart Versieck (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 2605:3E80:0:0:0:0:0:0/32. I checked my current IP address on "The Spamhouse Project", as described in your own policy somewhere, but this was inconclusive since it described mine as a so-called "CIDR", which means that in this case it's about a range block rather than a single IP. I've never had any problem editing with whatever IP before, so what to do, please? Extremely sexy (talk) 01:48, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The first IP address range is a confirmed proxy, as is the second IP address you gave us. You are definitely using proxies and will need to disable them if you wish to edit here. Exactly how you do so is, unfortunately, up to you to determine. We can't provide technical support for your computer/network setup. Yamla (talk) 12:11, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Well: I just checked all my browsers in order to verify whether they are using a proxy currently, and they are not in fact, but still this IP range comes up when I try do determine which IP it is, so it's a big problem for me. Extremely sexy (talk) 12:45, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
Courtesy links for the reviewing admin: Blocklist, whois (Shows micfo as the owner of the /32 range), IPCheck. This range absolutely appears to be a webhost to me. This is very often caused by attempting to edit while using a VPN, an open proxy, or anonymizing software. SQL 03:49, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
I had to restart my desktop computer for not having any connection at all anymore, and now it says my IP is 2605:3E80:700:10:0:0:0:1A4F, but I'm still having the same problem (and I'm definitely not using a "VPN" or other anonymizing stuff, so how can I close this open proxy, if that's at all possible that is (it should be, since it's there all of u sudden!)? Extremely sexy (talk) 11:56, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
