RfA thank you — JGHowes - 19 August 2008 Help with semi-protection for Memphis, TNHello Tiptoety, I hope you are doing alright. On August 15 you lifted the semi-protection from the Memphis, Tennessee article after some months of protection. The article had been vandalized by the same person, adding the same un-notable information about the official songs of Memphis over and over again. Well, a few days after the semi-protection was removed the same exact thing started again. The article was vandalized in this manner nine times since September 1 already, a very persistent person it seems. The vandalism comes from different IPs and there were warnings left on the IP talk page. Furthermore, the topic had been discussed in great length on the Memphis talk page, where the clear outcome was that the material lacks notability and that it should not be added to the article. What can I say, I have tried to have the semi-protection re-instated indefinitely at WP:RPP but the request was declined. It is already getting annoying that someone has to remove that information almost every day now. What can we do or how long do we have to wait to re-apply for semi-protection? I hope that you might have a good idea from your experience as administrator. Thank you very much! doxTxob \ 17:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
User:BlueCaperHi Tiptoety. Yesterday, I looked at the new user contribs and noticed the edits of the above user and User:Redhearts11. I obviously didn't see any relationship at the time, but when I added the subst:welcome template to Redhearts11 talk page, and right after that, BlueCaper said it was his/her sister. Instead of immediately looking at BlueCaper's account creation log, I responded first, but I realized the close connection. I then went to BlueCaper's Log to see if there is a sock puppet involved — this could be a mistake, but I don't think we should ignore it, especially since BlueCaper was blocked before for creating nonsense pages. User:JP4Jackpot (another new account) then went to the same places that both BlueCaper and Redhearts11 edited (like here). On JP4Jackpot's user page, it says that the three have "relations". I'm not sure at all if any of these are "positive" relations, but nontheless, it looks to me as though we should contact a checkuser. ~ Troy (talk) 18:08, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
More randomnessOn 5 Sept you kindly semi-protected Randomness for 9 months. The magic seems to have worn off already, however, and I can't see why myself — something to do with the intervening page moves on 6 Sept perhaps? Would you mind taking another look?

User:Miyokan and threats of outingHi Tiptoety. Could you please give a piece of advice as someone not previously involved in the matter? Some time ago Miyokan (talk · contribs), with whom we had certain disagreements, decided to to reveal my true identity and advertise it in WP. This resulted in the following warning from Alex Bakharev. The deleted threads are at the talk page of User:Moreschi to whom I complained, because he knows this user well. Unfortunately, this warning apparently had no effect, and this user continued making similar threats here, and here. He is talking about "Georgians" because my real family name sounds as a typical misspelled Georgian name. Hence they want to paint me as an anti-Russian Georgian troll, which I am not. Please also see Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Miyokan. Note that Miyokan and each of his sock puppets accumulated a lot of blocks. "Berkunt" was so good, even checkuser Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Miyokan could not identify that was him. So, I can only wonder who else might be him. Now he continues to be distractive and comes uninvited to my user page with various accusations. And he is not alone. Some of his friends make uncivil comments like that. So, what do you think? Just looking at you recent comments and actions, I think you are very fair administrator. Of course if you need more information, I can provide it. Thank you.Biophys (talk) 18:31, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
This is worse and worse with every minute. I asked one of the users to remove an inflammatory userbox that tells "polonium is a good substitute of sugar", but he inflames anti-national felings and attacks other users (fortunately not me) with phrases like "Russophobes will not be allowed to remove Russian POV from this or any other article." . This is really offensive, especially if other users are Russians like me.Biophys (talk) 21:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
It's DodgechrisHi, Tiptoety, me, the real life person of User:Dodgechris has just created an account, this is him (see on the signiature for name), i'm just saying i'm sorry, you were persuing the Dodgechris incident, weren't you? I'm just like to say sorry to you, and please can you forgive me and please don't block this account, all i want is to edit constructively, i love wiki, but if you chose to block me, i'll be sad, but i won't use socks, i'll stay away, maybe i'll just add 1 unblock template, but that's all, if you let me keep this account, i'll edit constructively, and never, ever vandalise, i'll also be civil, avoid spamming and stick with the rules, and i'll say sorry properly to the others i harrassed , can you please send them my apologies.

I'm looking for a few good editors.......who are willing to help hack through the labyrinth we call Misplaced Pages Policy. I've started up a project called Misplaced Pages:Policy condensing to help address the increasingly problematic instruction creep on the 'pedia. Ideally, this project will work to condense, merge, and in some cases delete the jillions of policies and guidelines into their basic components, so that both new and experienced users only have a few pages to read through if they have a question or concern instead of many. I'm hoping that once this project is through, we'll be able to reduce the number of policy and guideline pages by half while still keeping all the nuances and interpretations clearly available for users to understand. I'm contacting you about this because either you have previously expressed an interest in this, and/or I know I can count on you as a reliable editor who knows their way around the project. I'm not advertising this in the open just yet, as I'm hoping we can get a good foundation started with the few editors I'm contacting now so that when we do make this more public, we've already got a head start to show people what this project can do. So, if you've got the time and are willing, please stop by Misplaced Pages:Policy condensing and jump right in. If you have any questions, post to the project's talk page or leave me a note - I'll see it quickly either way. As always, thanks for your help. Hersfold 20:14, 14 September 2008 (UTC) Map for Wales PageHi there Tiptoety, I just came across your page and noticed that you seem to be keen to help. If you have the time, would you mind looking at this request please? We are looking to improve the map on the Wales article. The style we have in mind is something like the Monaco or Andorra articles. Sadly, the creator of those maps has a notice on his talk page saying 'No more map requests'. So, I was wondering if you knew where I could go, and/or who I could ask instead. If you don't have the time, would you mind suggesting someone you think may know, please. Many thanks and (Template:Lang-cy), Daicaregos (talk) 21:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Requests for checkuser/Case/FootballfanirlThanks for the clerical corrections. Aaron carass (talk) 22:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Would you please look at thisIf you have time, would you please take a look at this 3RR report. thanks--«JavierMC»|Talk 00:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
A follow-upIt seems that I am now very popular among Russian users for the lack of "patriotism". A User:Igny you know about just came back from your block and and immediately stated this, which is a bad faith accusation at least. He was soon supported by others. I believe this edit by LokiiT (talk · contribs) is certainly over the top. Although I had absolutely no disputes with Igny, the latter user (LokiiT) was repeatedly coming to my talk page with various accustions he shows in his diffs. I am not sure if these sanctions apply, but something should be done I think. Thank you for consideration.Biophys (talk) 01:29, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Interpretation of the rulesRegarding the notice you put on my page, can you explain something to me. The rule says: Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict (defined as articles which relate to Eastern Europe, broadly interpreted) if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages Where was I repeatedly warned? Where did I repeatedly make personal attacks? I even removed the part that you interpreted as a "personal attack" at my own will prior to the notice. LokiiT (talk) 02:41, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, now I have a question too. I have just been warned as well. I feel like I was reprimanded for doing nothing wrong. I have never been uncivil, have I? I understand that I participated in an edit war in an article on a controversial subject, and I was already punished for that by a block. Was that the reason for the "restriction" or "sanction"? If so, why Biophys and others were not warned as well for participating in the same edit wars? (Igny (talk) 03:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC))
PleaseCould you please close this, because of the 3rd policy paragraph: "III. If the accuser hasn't requested CheckUser for ten days, the report will be closed by an administrator."? Many Thanks--D'Agrò (talk) 12:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
No, at least, not concerning my account(of course, because his "evidencies" against me has been proved fakes,see here I don't like to keep in my talk page an accusation proved as fake and where "the accuser hasn't requested CheckUser for ten days". I see two option only: 1) do a CU that can prove that I'm not a sockpuppet 2) close and erase the accusation notice because "the accuser hasn't requested CheckUser for ten days" BTW, did you consider my request here? Thanks for your time. --D'Agrò (talk) 14:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Many Thanks--D'Agrò (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC) My userpage....Umm, About my userpage thingy, what exactly do you want me to do? And why the f*ck is my talkpage always being replaced with muslims rock and other crap? II MusLiM HyBRiD II 20:49, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Second eyesTippy...I'd like another set of eyese to close the loose ends here, so I didn't totally finish all that is needed. I'd appreciate it if you'd look this and all the sublevels over here: Misplaced Pages:RFCU#Eastbayway. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Endless sagaIt seems that User:Igny did not learn much. Now he conducts edit warring by removing other users comment at an article talk page. I believe removing or modifying comments by other users is against WP:CIV and some people were blocked for that. But you can see for yourself. I could advise Igny myself, but he probably would not listen.Biophys (talk) 22:23, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
My RfA
Golden Wiki Barnstar
User:AtlCrashHey Tiptoety, long time no see. Listen, User:AtlCrash, in the Kirsten Storms' article, is adding unsourced statements of her "supposed" engagement, I added a hidden note stating to add a source for her "engagement". If you see the history page in the article, you'll see that the user keeps undoing edits and going back to the engagement claim. I was hoping you could talk to him/her about this situation, since the user refuses to stop adding the unverified claim. I'll appreciate your help in this.... A lot. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:22, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

It's time for another COTW. Thank you to those who helped improve Kevin Duckworth and the Statesman Journal last week, we received another DYK ( Tom Anderson (MySpace)I asked that Tom Anderson (MySpace) be re-protected. Unprotecting was worth a try but alas the vandals found it. It's been pretty bad the last week. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank youHi Tiptoety. I would like to thank you for your support in my RfA and the confidence expressed thereby. It is very much appreciated. :) The RfA was closed as successful with 73 supports, 3 opposes and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank WBOSITG for nominating me. Best wishes and thanks again, —αἰτίας •discussion• 23:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC) DelsI've been trying to stick to the low edit count pages.

WTF?Why are you bulk deleting old RFAs? I can see they're all (or seem to be, I haven't checked them all) untranscluded, but unfinished doesn't mean someone wasn't planning to come back at some point. Was this discussed anywhere? – iridescent 15:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
A hilarious WP:DUCK jokeA funny performance takes place at this AfD. This article is about Dmitry Galkovsky known as "A leader of Ducklings movement, a group of several hundreds MMOG players and bloggers, said to aim at planetary domination". The article is vigorously defended by User:DonaldDuck (also a "Duck"). So far, eight users voted to "keep": R l (talk · contribs), Volodymir k (talk · contribs), 69.142.115.39 (talk · contribs), Asolver (talk · contribs), Anton Rau (talk · contribs), Vsevolod makeev (talk · contribs), and 24.82.155.49 (talk · contribs). As you can see, all of them are SPAs. It seems this Galkovsky has a lot of "Ducklings".Biophys (talk) 20:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Unblock for Dstern1I would like to thank you for unblocking me. I intend to follow the agreement and not edit information about Sarah Palin until after the election. While I cannot think of an example at this time, it is possible that I will have something to add in an article in which she has a remote connection; in which case, I will avoid discussing her. Your wording raised immediate concerns but I am assuming that you did not have ultra-concrete intentions. Again, I appreciate your assistance.--Dstern1 (talk) 02:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Unjustified blocksYou have recently blocked indefinitely several users with no other reason besides "suspected meatpuppetry". This is clearly against wikipedia policies and rules. Please unblock the users and restore deletion discussion disrupted by your strikings out.DonaldDuck (talk) 04:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Death treaths on user pagesI don't know if you have noticed it but User:Kuban kazak has had a death threath on his user page for two days. User:Irpen removed it but now the threath is back again even though without the picture. I don't know if there is a rule against death threaths here but I sure hope so. Närking (talk) 09:32, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
A probable sockI strongly suspect that two Russian users User:Offliner and User:Krawndawg are the same. I asked Offliner, and he replied that he never had any other account, although he is obviously not a newcomer. Although they carefully avoid any common articles, they edit in the same WP:DE style. They talk and behave very similarly, and they edit in the same general areas. I checked their time schedule during the July-September period and found that they do not edit in the same time. Say, O. did not edit during Sept. 2-11, but K. edited during Sept 6-9, and so on. Krawndawg often worked together with User:Miyokan, almost as a team (Moreschi should know him). Should anything be done about it?Biophys (talk) 23:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
DeletionHello Tiptoety! I'm here on behalf of an editor on his/her request to see the deleted text of an article you deleted. The article was this one. He/she contacted me over email (He/she thought I was an admin ;) ) and asked why you had not yet responded to his/her email(I assume you were busy) and why his/her article was deleted.(I should mention it was an extremely polite request) I've already explained some of our policies but it would help if you could provide the deleted text. Thanks--Xp54321 01:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Stop disruptionStop disruption at the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Dmitry Galkovsky discussion page. It is strictly prohibited to use blocks in content disputes. None of the users you have blocked is sockpuppet, so your blocks are totally unjustified. Unblock new users and restore their comments on the discussion page.DonaldDuck (talk) 01:49, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Serebr usually tells something like that: "Delete, POV-fork and per User:Ghirlandajo". Do not you see that such "voters" are bad for English wikipedia? So, Tiptoety has every right to block User:Serebr, even though he did not do this yet.Biophys (talk) 04:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Knock, knockUser:Jehochman/joke Jehochman 15:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC) Stop disruptionYou have blocked several new users without any reason and disrupted deletion discussion at the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Dmitry Galkovsky. Checks by checkuser has confirmed that no one of the blocked users is sockpuppet, so your actions are strongly against any wikipedia policies and rules. As you stay uncooperative, and don't give any answer, I will have to report your actions to administrators noticeboards and arbitration committee. DonaldDuck (talk) 05:53, 22 September 2008 (UTC) |
