article protection

Hello, could you protect or semi-protect Al Akhbar (Lebanon). It is being regularily invaded by POV warriors and vandals. Thanks Tec15 (talk) 07:29, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Drork

Do I have to open a new SPI? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 09:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, he's stopped now and hasn't edited in about 10 hours, so I don't think blocking will do any good. –MuZemike 16:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Do you really think he will stop now? A user has re added his comments at the talkpage, claiming that he has not been determined "officially" as a sock: . So some admin needs to say something "officially" about this. I have opened a SPI: --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 16:14, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
That is not necessary; we are not a bureaucracy. If that was a dynamic IP, which probably is likely, then what good is blocking going to do here, assuming Drork has moved on to another IP? Admins and CheckUsers can only do so much short of semi-protection of the talk page, which (1) there is not enough disruption to justify and (2) there have not been any IP editing on that talk page for a long time. I'm not sure what else you really want done here. –MuZemike 16:18, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Could you make a post on the SPI if you believe its his sock or not? As I explained above, some people do not accept the removal of his comments from the Golan Heights talkpage. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 16:25, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Page Deletion Help

I have updated content for my page with secondary sources. How should I proceed with re-posting the article? Amiepeterson (talk) 21:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you post in your userspace as a draft so I can look at it? You can click the redlink at User:Amiepeterson/NAVCO Business Security Services if you wish. Keep in mind that I deleted the page because it was a bit too overtly promotional in tone; it needs to be more neutral than in the case is was beforehand. Regards, –MuZemike 21:34, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

The draft has been posted to the userspace. Please let me know which sections (if any) are still promotional. Amiepeterson (talk) 20:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

OK, I'll try and get to it when I can. –MuZemike 20:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Jehonathan/Archive

Good call on this. CU confirms your conclusion was correct. Can you or another clerk merge Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/Flowerman75 into the Jehonathan case. They are the same individual. Thanks! KnightLago (talk) 02:39, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Got it, thanks. –MuZemike 17:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
