Re: Self-Harm

Hi there, Regarding this I'm of a similar mind to yourself. I've raised a chkuser but it's almost 2am here now. I don't have access to the IRC channels would you mind pushing it a wee bit please? I'm not sure this is something we can ignore personally. Leave me a message. Cheers 23:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and appreciated. 23:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I haven't been confirmed but I can try to get on IRC. I will notify of my progress. Best, Malinaccier (talk) 00:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to gain access to the administrator channel, but I'm in the regular channel. I'll try to bring the situation to light. Malinaccier (talk) 00:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey bud, sorry I was not online at the moment. Me like Malinaccier, have no idea how to access the admin IRC channel (never found a use for it). Is there something I can do to help (eg. contact police...?) Tiptoety 00:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

If we knew the IP we would know what police to call. I think the first step is to get an Checkuser quickly and maybe contact someone from the foundation. Not sure how to proceed with either. Toddst1 (talk) 00:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Strike that, I thought it was an IP editing, guess we will have to wait to here back from the CU. Tiptoety 00:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

We all had the same idea at once. :) I have never really had a need for it until now. Tiptoety 02:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh no - I unabashedly followed the directions on your talk page. I had your idea after you did. Toddst1 (talk) 03:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

		Thank you
		I would just like to say thank you for your efforts regarding the potential suicide thread on ANI last night. This may have been a poor taste message or hoax, but if it wasn't hopefully...... we may have made a real difference. So thank you and if ever there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. 07:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Quick Ban!

Thanks, Todd, for the quick IP ban on the Taft High School guy. I've been working my butt off on the California Schools and this guy comes in and messes up half the page. Thanks for getting him before he struck again. Manway (talk) 03:24, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Reply

I was talking about the source in question, not the user - that is the difference between the two comments. The other user, however, is attacking me personally. --07fan (talk) 04:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

That user's comment appeared to be in response to your racially motivated edit. Toddst1 (talk) 04:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

How is that "racially motivated"? Pan-Arabism is a political ideology (ie Saddam was a pan-Arabist), not a race. Many Arabs criticize Pan-Arabism as well. --07fan (talk) 04:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Your comment was interpreted by me as accusing Arabs across the region of historical revisionism. While your statement may have another interpretation, it certainly appears to more than one editor that you are making a statement about arabs, not arabs that follow a specific ideology. Toddst1 (talk) 04:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

With all due respect, your interpretation is wrong and probably the result of your unfamiliarity with what Pan-Arabisim is. I never said "Arabs", I said "Pan-Arabist", and that does not justify the personal attack by the other user basically calling me a racist. Even if the warning you gave me was justified, which is not, shouldn't you at least warn the other user as well? --07fan (talk) 04:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Warning already retracted on User talk:07fan. It's clear that it was possible to interpret User:07fan's edit as anti-arab, but there is another way to interpret it, likely the way it was intended. Toddst1 (talk) 04:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Blindmansbuff

Hi, can you block this account. This is very likely sock of User:Hkelkar. I have reported it in Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Hkelkar_strikes_back. Hkelkar socks are identified by similar tendentious editing and are generally blocked without any formal procedure like checkuser etc. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 05:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Well he/she doesn't seem to be active and I'm not sure how to identify a Hkelkar sock. Let me look some. Toddst1 (talk)

Hkelkar socks have pro-Hindutva POV-pushing, pro-Jews POV-pushing, anti-Muslim and anti-Christian POV-pushing, pro-India POV-pushing and anti-Pakistan and anti-Bangladesh POV-pushing. You can see the contributions of User:Hkelkar and his socks to familiarize yourself with his editing pattern. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 06:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

NOPV: if someone already made wrong artical, and its orchestrated by some govermant to do so, is erasing suchpropaganda a vandal act, or defendingthe truth. Vandalism is for instance to deny the right of name and indentity such some people reffering to themselvs as greeks are doing right now. They do taht to MAcedonians, but also to Kalash people. It seems that they have the right to erasye history and write what tehy consider and want to be truth. So stoping such propaganda is act of good will and not vandalism.

If thats not true, than wikipedia at whole is not encyclopedia but is a politicaly biased bunch of articles

About a "vandalism" warning I got from you

I wanted to report that it is false but it said "If you didn't edit this page, you don't need to report it." With all due respect, the hell I don't. Because I have 2 vandalism warnings now and it says I have only a final one left. So I'm just going to post my report here. I don't know if I'm making a mistake by doing so, but I don't know where else to write it:

Only my brother also uses this IP because we share the same modem but different computers we use. 1. He doesn't even use english wikipedia, let alone editing a page. 2. I myself did not edit those 2 pages. 3. When I want to edit, I log into my user account, don't do it anonymously.

So this was probably a mistake by your bot. Nobody uses my computer. And I want my 2 warning rights back. Not that I think I'll vandalize in the future, but because I'd like to keep all 3 of them in case I make a mistake while editing.

Thank you for your understanding, in advance.

Mike Cr.

User talk:Aggrivated

This user is requesting an autoblock removal from a block you made, but the account has no edits and looks suspiciously like a sleeper account to me. Mind taking a look when you get the chance? Thanks. Hersfold 17:05, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Block of User:Carl.bunderson

Hello, you blocked this user for 3RR today. Now, it seems he was actually right in his conviction that his opponent was a banned sock (User:Beh-nam). Would you mind unblocking? Defending the Afghanistan articles from socks has been a huge problem, and we don't want to lose our last remaining legitimate editors in that field. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for the heads up. Toddst1 (talk) 20:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the reconsideration, Todd. In the future, do you think there's a better way for me to deal with the vandals and socks than my admittedly ruthlesss reversion of their edits? It's just that I hate the thought of becoming the type of user who goes and tattles on others at the admin noticeboards. Thanks again, and have a good day. Carl.bunderson (talk) 00:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

My recommendation is to stop editing at 3. If it's vandalism, warn with each revert. Someone else will revert after your third, then file an AIV report. Toddst1 (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Block of Flukes1

I was wondering if I may extend his block to indefinite; his vandalism of J.delanoy's userpage, along with statements such as this, lead me to believe it's just a SPA vandalism account. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 01:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Not at all a problem. I appears to have already been done. Toddst1 (talk) 17:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

FOAD

Could I ask you to please reverse your deletion of the FOAD article. It was a valid and IMHO useful soft redirect to Wiktionary. It was deleted a week ago as a G6 Housekeeping deletion, but no actual work has been done there in the week since. I have asked the original G6 tagger for an explanation of the need for the G6 deletion, but they have been inactive in the last several days. In the absence of any progress towards whatever housekeeping was intended, I would request that it be restored. If the tagger returns with a valid explanation for needing a housekeeping deletion, then I can re-delete it myself for them. But until that point, I think the project is better served by the restoration of the soft redirect. - 14:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

done. Toddst1 (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Hyowon1

Why did you give Hyowon1 an additional warning about chatting?He's already gotten one and he stopped ater that. Mr. Green 18:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Because he/she didn't stop. The edits speak for themselves. Toddst1 (talk) 18:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Did you read my response to his last comment on my page?He has stopped since then. Mr. Green 18:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

spam blocking

Hi Todd, You've recently removed all of the edits I have made about Santa Barbara Business College. It was not my intention to create spam. How would I edit the page to provide users with more information, without it coming across as spam?

And also, what is the 'stub' level, and how would I raise the level of a page?
