Please sort out

Hi

Your responible for this:

13:43, 2 December 2006 Essjay (Talk | contribs) blocked "85.234.128.0/19 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 6 months (Proxy/Webhosting service, checkuser shows nothing but vandals and socks)

It's already being appealed just no one can seem to work out how to unblock it. (See unblock-en-l mailing lists)

I've had no way of contacting you (your hotmail account appears dead and i've tried aim'ing you multiple times) and since I can't create a account since my ip is blocked I can't email you and I have had to find a public computer to leave you this message.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:85.234.144.53

It's unblocked. Be aware, however, that the range has been used almost exclusively for problematic editing, so it is likely there will be intermittent blocks on it in the future. Essjay (Talk) 01:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:AE#Arthur Ellis socks again

Um, can you check out your CU reply and verify for me that you stated the correct IP address. The IP that you have stated right now is the person that brought this matter to AE, and not the IP that is mentioned in the request. I just now noticed this. (I currently have the IP mentioned in the request under indef for sockpuppeting (not the IP that brought the request to AE)). I will unblock the IP until this is cleared up. If you have questions find me on IRC, or post a message to my talk page. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 18:01, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Responded there. Essjay (Talk) 01:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry.

Could you delete my OLD userspace. --Missing No Teeth 18:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Sure, if you'll remind me what your old username was. Essjay (Talk) 01:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Essjay, I have asked you to do a few checkusers for various sockpuppets of this editor recently : MagicKirin (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). And you dutifully did so. Just saying thank you for your time. Good work. Much appreciated.--Zleitzen 03:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. Essjay (Talk) 01:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

De Brazza in the Congo

I find it odd that you would delete my entry about De Brazza having raped a Congolese woman when I referenced it. Please explain why that happened since the Congolese historians have testified that it was true. Sincerely, one pissed off Congolese and spare me the remark that you need to have a European reference to the incident. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nzingamina (talk • contribs) 05:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

You'll have to link the article in question, as I've not deleted anything recently that seems related, and you've only edited Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, which I've never edited. Perhaps you've confused me with someone else? Essjay (Talk) 01:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It'll be just a bit; your talk page has old posts on it that include a previous signature style, and that tends to break the bot. I'm going to hand archive it first, then let the bot run. Essjay (Talk) 06:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

image source

Image:Not suck.PNG has no source. --80.63.213.182 12:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the no source template. There's no question as to its GFDL status. Chick Bowen 00:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

In need of oversight

Hi, I am in need of oversight, I understand you have that priviledge. When I first started on Misplaced Pages I did not realize how involved I would become. I posted personal information about my wife here. I have since become an admin and have upset some trolls.

I have recieved my share of rude comments in my time here, but recently they are turning on my wife, making rude comments about her being African and having AIDS. I would like for my edits revealing her name to be removed from the edit history if possible.

Here are some of the personal attacks that have led me to want to do this:

I have recieved more over IRC and e-mail.

These are the edits I would like removed if possible:

I regret having to remove this, as we try to live a transparent life, but my blocking trolls and deleting nonsense articles should not lead to her being abused. Thank you. HighInBC 15:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I just saw WP:RFO, I will repeat this request to that mailing list. HighInBC 15:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I already got a response and took the advice, thanks anyways. HighInBC 22:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

A checkuser block you placed

Hi, Essjay. I saw that Sam Spade's talk page had an unblock notice. I looked at his block log, and he didn't seem to be blocked. He then posted a second notice, giving his IP — 84.166.40.18. I checked the block log for that IP, and it was clean. I assumed that it was collateral damage from a block issued to a logged-on user who had, perhaps, vandalized, so I unblocked that IP. I then looked more carefully at what Sam had put on his user page, and I saw that that IP had been blocked by you, as a checkuser block. I apologize for unblocking. I should have looked more carefully at the notice he put on his talk page. There was nothing in the block log either for Sam or for that IP that would have alerted me. I decided to reblock immediately, and take it up with you. However, I didn't know how long you had blocked for, so I made my block 48 hours. Since you placed the original block, I'd be much more comfortable leaving it in your hands. Please see this part of Sam's talk page. Sorry again for jumping in without looking. Regards.
