User Ansehnlisch

Hello there

I’ve started an ANI thread (here) on User:Das Ansehnlisch who you blocked temporarily some weeks ago. His user page redirects to another user, so here’s a link to the contribs page.

regards. --Merbabu (talk) 22:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Maia Campbell

Why did you remove my contributions to the Maia Campbell page? The info is correct. I would appreciate it if you can put it back.

Dm23avg307 (talk) 03:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced negative information about a living person. Find a reliable source before you consider inserting it in the article again. Enigma 03:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with BLPs!

		The BLP Barnstar
		Your hard work on BLPs in general, and at User:Lar/Liberal Semi specifically, is much appreciated. That page has now been sunsetted (and I hope never to need to bring it back) but the work you did there (whether by bringing articles forward, reviewing them, or protecting them... or even by questioning or criticizing the process!) was of great help to the project. See you in the trenches! ++Lar: t/c 01:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. Sad to see the sunset, even though the userproject wasn't serving much purpose with the lack of reports. I checked in every few days, only to see nothing new each time. I guess my RfA didn't help matters. Enigma 06:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Most excellently deserved barnstar for you to Enigma.--VirtualSteve 07:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

re User_talk:Leveque#September_2009

Good block. Cirt (talk) 15:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

If that is the case, you may wish to compile evidence and think about a possible WP:SPI submission. Cirt (talk) 21:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

A user that you blocked has returned with a new account.

I noticed that you had blocked an account for User:Guitarforever. I believe that same person has started a new account called User:Guitarvan. Their edits and edit summaries are almost identical. Thank you. GripTheHusk (talk) 18:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I was beaten to the block by Bubba.hotep. Enigma 01:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Can You

block Mario.brosfan because he keeps adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles , like he did to the article Frankie Jonas please. Ricky3374 (talk) 16:51, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

What, for entering a name and birthdate? That's hardly a reason to block, and I don't see it as controversial. You're both edit-warring, though, and you need to stop. Enigma 01:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually I was the one to stop him from doing it. I was trying to help. Ricky3374 (talk) 18:43, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

wheel war, protection of 2009

FYI, I suspect there's no (ec) function on the protection code. So we can both hit "submit" and they'll go into the system. tedder (talk) 07:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Yep. It's been filed as a bug before and this isn't the first time I've protected something at almost the same exact time as another administrator. When that happens and I'm the last one in, I just revert to the other protection. Enigma 07:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Good to know. So I'll either do what you propose, or get in a page protection war with another editor. That'll make me famous someday. :-) tedder (talk) 07:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

94.192.38.247 on ANI

Since you were a blocking admin on this user back in August, you may want to comment on the current ANI thread ongoing here. Thanks. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:21, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Purpose

I hate doing that on Misplaced Pages. I teach high school, and part of my lesson for the day was exploring what Misplaced Pages is and how it is the most honest record of human existence, etc, etc. Part of that lesson was demonstrating how the power of millions of contributors corrects mistakes almost instantly. I just finsihed with the last class of the day and won't be doing that anymore. ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metaltrav (talk • contribs)

what is the reason for deleting mustafa halilsoy page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.140.249.2 (talk • contribs)

Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Mustafa_Halilsoy Enigma 19:16, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Couldn't agree with you more.

I bit that claim of his hook, line and sinker, I'm afraid. I am more than glad you blocked the guy. "Tendentious" doesn't begin to describe this. More like "troll" at this point.  :) Frankly, I have never heard of a block of a single IP shutting down an entire school. Besides, shoudn't they be reading rather than editing? Just a thought. Anyway, you did the right thing and I'll keep an eye on this IP for awhile. Thanks! PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:17, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Article Format

Enigmaman, There is a lot of Tweeting and Blogging going on about my State Senator's wikipedia article and how people have been sabotaging it. I noticed that you had removed a lot of good information from his article. I was wondering if it needs to be in a specific format to be allowed to remain on that page or if you just deleted all of it since the article was being messed with. It is all accurate information that can be cited by multiple sources. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. The article is "Mark E. Amodei". Thanks and have a good night! MySilverState (talk) 05:00, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

It needs to be written properly in coherent paragraphs. As it stood, it was junk. See the articles of other politicians as an example. Can you link to the tweeting and blogging? Enigma 05:24, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Quickie

Anyway way you can suss out whether User:Mister sparky is a sock account for the permanently banned User:Be Black Hole Sun? Mr S is a relatively new account and has a fetish for discography pages.. which was BBHS's favourite haunting place. Whether the account is making good edits or bad edits... when you are permanently banned by community sanction... you are banned for good.... I think anyways. And BBHS is definitely banned from the Wik. The Real Libs-speak politely 15:30, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Why was the WWE Raw Guest Host reverted? If you look at the reference every guest host has had this remark on their page. You mentioned your reason; however, using that reason, every show he has appeared on will have to be reverted. --Ssgdonp (talk) 00:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: User: Koavf at AIV

What's complex about this issue, and why not AIV? Radiopathy •talk• 05:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Long time user, not a vandalism only account, very complex issue. If there is to be a block, it wouldn't come from AIV. AIV is for straightforward vandalism cases. Enigma 05:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Well then, I'll ask you to take a look at his userlinks and see if a block is justified. Radiopathy •talk• 05:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

That will take more than a few minutes, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Enigma 05:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I'll take a look now, although it would probably be best located on a noticeboard. Enigma 17:59, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I would recommend you take this to AN/I and make your case there. If you do, be sure to leave a message for Koavf to alert him to the thread. He wasn't the only one removing the speedy tag there. I don't find his overall behaviour to be especially satisfactory, but a block at this point would only serve to get me in trouble for making a unilateral move without consulting the community. At AIV, we're typically dealing with accounts/IPs that are vandalism-only. Koavf is clearly not a vandalism-only account, and as such, any block would lead to controversy. Enigma 19:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Hah

I'd say your block summary for User:Prophaniti is one of the funniest things I've seen here in a while. --King Öomie 14:19, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

:) How did you come across it? After you brought it up, I just had to revert him. Enigma 17:59, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Lurking at the genre troll page- this edit lead me to his list of contribs, with the current block posted at the top. --King Öomie 18:02, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm pleased to hear that it's still being used. Unfortunately, with Pat inactive, it hasn't received many updates of late. Enigma 18:07, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I'll bet there's a class somewhere where people are taught how to trace contributions and figure out how someone got from point A to point B. I also bet I'd find that class absolutely fascinating. --King Öomie 18:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd take that class. :P Enigma 18:07, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I just saw the block reason because I stalk follow this talk page. Awesome reason :-) OTOH, that sort of PC association is being held against User:Timmeh in his current RFA bid. Never go full retard, as they say. tedder (talk) 23:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Never. Deathknell of any serious actor. --King Öomie 04:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

dana jacobson

I don't follow why allegedly is being used with respect to her intoxication and reportedly with respect to what got her suspended. What was reported (in the article currently cited on her Wiki page) is that she also said "f--- Jesus" so I don't understand why that's being left out. It makes sense that ESPN took measures to hide footage of this event considering the inflammatory nature of the outburst but what Wiki stands to lose I don't know... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.77.200.253 (talk) 19:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

what wiki stands to lose? As far as I can recall (I have not edited that article in quite a while), the jesus remark was never properly sourced. A blog claimed it happened, but the reliable sources did not mention it until maybe later on. Enigma 19:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for looking in on Utan

I sometimes forget how helpful the Utan list is. But it needed a cleanout since some of the accounts and numbers are long dormant. Perma-blocked Prophaniti has lots of IPs still within his reach. (he must be in a school. How have you been? I have been well despite recent wheel-spinning distracting from the cause. I miss Pat. The Real Libs-speak politely 08:04, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Speak of the IP devil now The Real Libs-speak politely 08:08, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

And the devil makes a sock account The Real Libs-speak politely 11:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

already done. I blocked one of his regular IPs last night for six months. Thought that might help. Enigma 15:57, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Prophprotect

He's created a sock to keep his rant on his talkpage. I can haz IP block? --King Öomie 12:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Looks like User:Tedder took care of it. With any luck, he won't be able to resist reverting that page on more socks. Let's empty the drawer out. (Sorry to sound so gleeful. It just pains me to think of how many MetalObserver links he added). --King Öomie 13:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I can't keep up with tedder! He gets to things on my talk before I read them. Enigma 15:57, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Mind saying why?

I noticed your drive-by comment elsewhere. It's not relevant to that situation, right? Mind telling me why? Did you know about Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Friday? I don't see where you commented there. Friday (talk) 16:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I never comment on RfCs. Is it relevant? Not really. Was just agreeing with the other person. Enigma 17:14, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

That's not agreement- that's a silly distraction. If I'm a bad admin who should not have the bit, that's an issue. But it's a separate issue from whether someone else shouldn't have the bit. It doesn't help move things forward to mix issues together this way. Friday (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

It surely was agreement. One person says something and another agrees. As for why I bothered to agree, it's because I feel that you should make the first move. Enigma 17:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

User talk:66.223.246.3

This user has again vandalized List of jazz guitarists. Was previously banned for 24 hours. Is there any way we can protect the article? Thanks. Paul210 (talk) 14:05, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Blocking the offending editor is preferable to protection in this case. I have done so. Enigma 06:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Mandy Moore

Hello. Back in May, you voiced concerns about Mandy Moore's feature article status. Doesn't seem like anything has been done to improve the article since then, and when I came across the article recently, I had similar concerns. I'd like to nominate the article for FAR, but as an IP, I can't complete the nom. Could you do so for me? See Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_review#Mandy_Moore. Thanks. 71.227.179.189 (talk) 01:55, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Will do it now. Enigma 04:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about the article and my suggestion. Enigma 04:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Gaza War

Censorship and Vandalism on Gaza War (Operation Cast Lead)

A mutual friend informed me that you might be able to help me with a serious problem that I've encountered editing this piece. Well documented, relevant, Sourced edits are continuously reverted because they don't present a particular point of view. I'm not presenting any point of view, just well-sourced relevant material. Please go to this site and you'll see what I am talking about. I have also published an article concerning insidious censorship on Misplaced Pages. When accessing this site, you'll see what I mean. Any help you can extend would be greatly appreciated.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 04:12, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Before I even saw what the reverts were over, I see it needs full protection, so we'll start with that. Enigma 04:17, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

The most vile of the bunch is Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) who was already warned that he would be blocked for persistent vandalism to this site. Please go to his talk page to see what I'm referring to. Another "editor," Da'oud Nkrumah (talk) accused anyone making an edit inconsistent with his views, to be an Israeli agent and working for the Israeli government and this can be found in the discussion page under the sub-heading "Garlasco" There are a few of us who are only trying to restore some balance into the artice and not turn it into a platform for any particular side. Please check out the two "editors" that I've mentioned. Thanks--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 06:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

This is the latest drivel from Mr Unsigned Anon (talk)"Finally I found that recruitment office. Now where is jiujitsuguys bankacount so he can get that recrutbonus? Lookie new bombwest. Wonder what happen if I push this red button. Oh shii.... Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 05:22, 8 October 2009"

And the latest pearl from Da'oud Nkrumah (talk) "like that because of the strong pro-israel contingent on Misplaced Pages. I think they work for the Israeli government myself. Da'oud Nkrumah" 03:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnkrumah (talk • contribs)
