FYI

Hi Tiptoety. An article that you salted last year, Drew Roy, is the subject of an unprotection request here. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:39, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Tiptoety ^talk 17:17, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Policy Question About a New Article

Is this article Gallery:Where's_God_When_I'm_Scared a violation of Wikipedia policy? I don't know about galleries. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep,

deleted. Tiptoety ^talk 20:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up

An IP has raised a thread at WP:AN about you. No idea what they mean, but you deserve to be notified about it. Suspect the IP may not be able to do this themselves. Mjroots (talk) 06:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Must have been removed or archived as I do not see it. But thanks! Tiptoety ^talk 04:22, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Joy Behar

Hello: a few days ago you semi-protected the Joy Behar article for a period of three days due to ongoing vandalism. The semi-protection has expired and the vandalism continues. Would you be willing to re-apply semi-protection? Thank you, BMRR (talk) 17:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week. Tiptoety ^talk 17:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :) –BMRR (talk) 21:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DidiWeidmann/Xtinadbest

How's your certainty level on this one? Looking over account timing and obscure joint articles, I can see it. Undoing all the edits from a two-year old account is a daunting task, though, so I'm loathe to begin unless you are extremely certain.—Kww(talk) 18:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty certian. They edited from the exact same IP (which is on one of the guys most popular ranges) with the exact same useragent as a ton of the other socks. That said, CU data has been wrong before. Tiptoety ^talk 18:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to wait a few days for the virtually inevitable backdraft to extinguish itself. He's an admin on some of the other Wikis. Wouldn't be the first case of good-hand/bad-hand we've encountered, and certainly won't be the last, either.—Kww(talk) 19:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I reviewed that person's unblock request and came here to ask you the same thing. It just seems very strange to me that a multi-project Wikipedian who identifies as a European esperantist and makes uncontroversial Switzerland-related edits would also operate a sock ring for the purpose of obsessively editing pop music articles. Have you considered possible errors such as another person in the household being responsible (timing etc.), or that IP being possibly reassigned to the puppetteer after or before DidiWeidmann used it? Thanks, Sandstein 21:17, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It would probably be a good idea to have a second checkuser look over the results. I'm agnostic on this one, but lean towards believing it's a good hand/bad hand situation. It's a very slight lean, though.—Kww(talk) 22:27, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DidiWeidmann contacted me on de: here and asked for help. My general impression is that he is likely not the sockmaster; he comes across as slightly hysterical and clueless, but not as somebody who would operate a sock ring about pop music topics. I advised thim to knock off the assumptions of bad faith and to come up with a good explanation about who (a child in the household?) might have used his computer to do something like that. Sandstein 22:39, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He has replied that he considers it impossible that somebody else used his computer, and that he cannot associate the edits by Xtinadbest to anybody he knows. Sandstein 23:12, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed his post. He's been around for three years, and on WP-eo, spends his time doing stuff like adding coordinates to cities. Just doesn't seem like a likely sock. — kwami (talk) 23:21, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know DidiWeidmann. He made a very good work on WP-eo. --Pinof (talk) 06:09, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

←I apologize for the delayed reply, I was at work all day and just walked in the door. Now, there are a few explanations. For starters, this is a well played good hand/bad hand situations and it took a while for DidiWeidmann to be rooted out. It could be a situation where someone else (maybe a child, friend, spouse, etc...) had access to DidiWeidmann's account (which has happened before. A lot of us do not log out of our accounts on the machine we use to edit with primarily). Or this is a classic case of a false positive. I am leaning towards the latter. If there was even a hint that the contributions match those of Xtinadbest, I might say otherwise, but they don't. All of this said, while I will not been unblocking myself, I will not oppose an unblock. Hope this helps clarify things, Tiptoety ^talk 02:35, 7 November 2010 (UTC)4[reply]

My account is now unblocked again. I thank everybody who sustaind and beleaved my that I had nothing to do with the mencioned sockpuppetery. The only explenation for me is that sombody of our neigbourhoud could get access to our WIFI. I shall in any case revise all my security mesures and if this was the case to find the person. Any how I am very happy, that my account is not blocked anymore. DidiWeidmann (talk) 10:09, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-== IP Exemption? ==
-Hi There.
-Just wondered why you've taken me off the IP exemption list?  I've been blocked twice in the past as collateral from IP blockings - the last time my talk page access was also revoked, and it could well happen again.  [[User:A man alone| a_man_alone]] ([[User talk:A man alone|talk]]) 18:31, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
-:It does not appear that any of the IPs you are editing through have blocks on them of any kind. As such, there is no need for IPblock exempt.
