Username Warning

Per WP:USERNAME and WP:SIG, obfuscation of your actual username in signatures is discouraged. An admin who hides behind a nickname lacks accountability; it would be difficult to find you on the administrator's list. Please change it soon or request WP:CHU.

My signature is fine the way it is. Thanks and happy editing! Orane (talk • cont.) 06:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, WP:SIG says, "Signatures that obscure your account name to the casual reader may be seen as disruptive." WP:USERNAME says, "A signature should not be misleading." I don't see how "Orane" relates to "Journalist." IMO, an admin should be setting an example, not breaking the rules. I've noticed that you've blocked the username User:Orane out of process and without discussion. I've brought this to the attention of other admins at WP:AN. —Malber (talk • contribs) 13:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, weren't you the one who said that all you had to do was hover over the link? And, don't you have some studying to do rather than track down all my diffs? —Malber (talk • contribs) 13:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Right, because adminship is not a big deal. I'm sure you'll be right there to call me biased again because I voted oppose on your "We Belong Together" FAC farce again. Sometimes you can be so...Hollow. —Malber (talk • contribs) 19:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Celinecruft

Hello Orane,

You keep removing celinedionweb but at the same time, you don't remove sites as YouTube or else. They are unofficial sites as well. So either you remove all unofficial sites, either you display them. But if you keep some and remove others without much consideration, I don't think it is fair. celinedionweb bring as much info as YouTube or else.

Youtube and Billboard are comprehensive databases about the singer. They are not fanclubs/fansites, which usually serve to promote a singer rather than list the good and the bad about them. That's why I keep including them. Also, youtube has become quite a popular source/refernce site. Billboard has been one from the start. Orane (talk • cont.) 17:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Orane, Then you should visit celinedionweb rather than decide by yourself it is a fansite. celinedionweb is a comprehensive database as well, go and take a look! It is neither a fanclub (since it is not a club of fans) and neither a fansite (since it sticks to the facts and don't "list the good and the bad" about Celine Dion, look at the discography, videography, event sections). celinedionweb is also a source/reference site since it is quoted in Celine Dion's biography and official sites.

Can you help with User:Tannim

The user has not made a good faith edit yet and is using anonymous AOL IPs to start an edit war. He fails provide correct links to his sources and insists on slandering Barbra Streisand. In fact all his edits are bad faith edits and he is a suspected sock puppet of a user with a history of sock puppetry who has been banned permanently. Please help, because I can't do this alone and this guy will keep on going until he wins either on Hugo Chavez or on Barbra and nobody is watching her page. KittenKlub 17:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
