Yikes, not again. I find it quite tiring to discuss this topic, in large parts due to the discussion style of some of the discussants, not sure I'll show up there this time. Thanks for the note though.

With new school year, seeing how Utilitarianism works off auto-confirm?

Esp. with the new college year, it might be worth it seeing how Utilitarianism works without auto-confirm. I emphasize 'might.' It definitely would be an experiment. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 21:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I only converted the protection to use the pending changes trial and did not originally flag it as protected, so I don't really have an opinion on it. From a glance it looks like most IP edits still get reverted, so it may be a very good use for that protection level. If you want to try it out feel free to ask for unprotection at WP:RFPP.

July's gone (in more than one way). Half crazy myself after the last weeks, but the end of the tunnel should be around the next bend … Amalthea 09:06, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

ACC Tool

Thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. I have approved your request. You may now access the tool here. Before you do so, please read the tool's guide to familiarize yourself with the process. You may also want to join #wikipedia-en-accounts on irc and the mailing list. Keep in mind that the ACC tool is a powerful program, and misuse may result in your access being suspended by a tool administrator. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. FunPika 10:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

FunPika forgot to modify his somewhat standard message to say that he also gave you admin access pending Stwalkerster upgrading you CU access (which is pretty much a certainty :P ). There are not too many requests that get deferred to CU though it is nice to know there are now 3 who can review them when they do come in. Feel free to join in on the standard requests if you want to. Welcome :D delirious & lost ☯ 12:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I figured, thanks. :) Will try to monitor the CU queue, that's why I registered with the tool. Cheers, Amalthea 13:49, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

User:Chin Ho Kelly

I see you blocked this user--I'm guessing as a sock. Another new user has restored some of User:Chin Ho Kelly's edits here. I'm wondering if it's the same editor? freshacconci talktalk 15:42, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Quite right, thank you. Amalthea 15:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about this. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 17:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

No reason to be, I found it rather amusing. :) Cheers, Amalthea 18:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Asgardian again

Hi. Another editor left the following message on my Talk Page:

Hello there, I am new to Misplaced Pages and just edited my first article. I added an "original plot" section to God of War III, as I think that the vision of the series creator is relevant information. I am not a native speaker, but I think my English isn't too bad. A fellow editor from Sydney (IP 125.xx) keeps deleting my section instead of improving it due to "poor grammar and weak, colloquial language". The user's history shows that he regularly uses the same comment when changing other edits. His wording is similar to that of user "Spartancourage", who was blocked for being the new account of user "Asgardian", who was banned. Can you please have a look into this? I would also appreciate your feedback on the quality of my "original plot" section, which I have posted on the talk page of God of War III. Many thanks in advance. 84.56.59.199 (talk) 11:10, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Looking over that article's edit history, it appears that our newbie IP editor is referring to editor 125.63.185.218, which is indeed a Syndey IP, where Asgardian lives. His emphasis on "colloquial" language" and reverting edits do to poor "grammar" () is indeed a habit of Asgardian's, as is his blanking of an entire talk page, with the rationalization that it's "not illegal". Though this is true for registered users, I don't think anonymous IP's are supposed to do this, since IP pages are not necessarily the sole domain of one user. Blanking the page also has the effect of concealing past warnings for disruptive editing.

In addition, it also appears that 125.7.71.6 is Asgardian as well, as that is also an Australian IP from which he cites "weak colloquial language when making the same reverts as 125.63.185.218, and who also blanks the talk page, concealing past warnings and blocks for disruptive editing.

Since you were the one who reset Asgardian's block when he was found to be evading his ban, I thought it would be a good idea for you to investigate this, perhaps in order to make his ban indefinite. Can you look into it? Please let me know. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, will look into it as soon as possible, hopefully today. Amalthea 15:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

PhanuelB

Hi Amalthea. I am letting you know as a courtesy at another user's suggestion (because I see you were involved in the sock investigation) that I blocked this user indef. To be clear, I did not refer to sockpuppetry in my block but regard them as having exhausted the community's patience at this point. I have raised the block at AN/I if you want to respond there; otherwise here would also be fine. Best wishes, --John (talk) 14:33, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I had left a comment at ANI a few minutes earlier. :)
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea 15:29, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
