User talk:Efanrees

You blocked this editor in October (and quite rightly so). I'm minded to give him another chance now - his first unblock requests were poor, but it sounds like he's beginning to understand. I would keep an eye on his future edits and will quickly reblock if there's any repeat of the problem. What do you think? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:13, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Recent anon block

The anon IP you just blocked (86.162.251.51 (talk · contribs · info · WHOIS)) didn't have a chance to respond to my offer of discussion. Moreover, User:Armbrust had technically exceeded the WP:3RR rule. I had hope to handle this via discussion on the Davis talkpage. What do you reckon? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I know, I just thought that since you were in the mind to block the IP, Armburst probably deserved one too, after all the material was cited, just perhaps inappropriate. I think I'll keep an eye on the situation, Armbrust says this anon has edited from different IPs in any case so it may all come out in the wash once they reset their router... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:30, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, no worries. I'll just put it on my ever-increasing watch list. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Problem with IP editor

Hi. I really need some administrator-to-administrator advice. Can you offer your opinions on Question 2 - 5 that I've posed at the top of this discussion?

Everyone else participating there is only focusing on Question 1, which I thought would be answered more quickly and straightforwardly, and is already being discussed at Talk:Kobe Bryant sexual assault case If you want to offer your insights on Question 1 as well, can you do so there? Thanks! Nightscream (talk) 05:15, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Looks to me that they are both edit warring on Writing. I didn't get what the ethnic slur was, though oO. See Talk:Writing#ethnic_slur_in_writing_history -- Luk ^talk 13:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal was, and I was considering whether to block both of them, only him on nobody when I saw the AIV update :). I've only been back for a few days and I get the impression we get a lot of "almost bad faith" vandalism reports now :(. -- Luk ^talk 13:44, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

This IP has done such stuff before, as can be seen from his edit history. He (or she I guess) also calls reversions due to vandalism an 'ethnic slur' presumably against Goths, Visigoths, Vandals etc (I mention this to clarify what the user's statements about ethnic slurs seem to mean)...

Template problem

I approved your Holden article. I had A LOT of trouble getting to the DYK nom template because the slash in the article title breaks the template. Go to WT:DYK to the nom, click on "review", try to edit, and you'll see what I mean. I only managed to do it after scrolling through your co ntribs. Moral of the story: slashes are a problem with this template....PumpkinSky talk 15:57, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Rock Me Tonite

FYI, the image size was changed in Rock Me Tonite because it is too big for the section, causing the following History sub-heading to be incorrectly indented. We would appreciate it if you could find a way to have this sub-heading correctly display. Maybe we can just eliminate the sub-heading. Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 19:20, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Reconsider?

Hey DC, you blocked User:ManawatuNZ today because of user name, and I wonder if you might reconsider. Seems to me she is a keen newbie who could be encouraged, and I would guess the name she chose was simply because she is proudly from Manawatu NZ. Some of her edits so far are borderline, but some are good, and that's par for newbies. Perhaps if you unblocked, and she took note of messages left on her talk page, she would be a good acquisition to wiki. Worth a try? I see Skier Dude deleted User:ManawatuNZ earlier, so I will contact him tomorrow. Moriori (talk) 08:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

This member keeps removing "," from airdates and episode counts from Days of our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful, despite our attempts to tell them no. Can you do anything about this? Musicfreak7676 (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Daniel, they're already removing commas again saying they aren't needed. I think a longer block is needed! User cannot be trusted. _{MusicFreak7676} ^TALK! 17:52, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

They're going again, telling me not to change before it's uploaded onto a webpage, yet undid my edit then seconds later made the same edit I made. Can we block them again? Obviously their lesson has NOT be learned! _{MusicFreak7676} ^TALK! 19:11, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I just asking for it to be done right. When it's been uploded on a webpage it shows it has aured. Please stop adding before that happens. What do you think? I think Days should be uploaded at soaoperafan.com and B & B at CBS before they're added to a template. Reporting MusicFreak7676 for not listening to my words. Wingard (talk) 19:33, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Soapoperafan.com is NOT a valid source. It doesn't matter if it's updated, it matters if it's AIRED. You undid my edit to DAYS, then re-did it yourself. You're showing WP:OWN and that's not allowed here. I am keeping this report to you. Your words mean NOTHING to me, since they make NO sense. Daniel, if I get blocked because of them, Wiki loses a valid member to this community because I will not be returning. _{MusicFreak7676} ^TALK! 19:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference.

In response to your questions regarding Joseph Paterno bio

Hi Daniel - thanks for responding. More specifically, I have attempted to include a direct quote from one of the Board of Trustee members in regard to the rationale for Paterno's firing given that the article, as it currently stands, has no such first-person commentary. It was initially met with a copyvio rejection, and then with a nuance rejection. I corrected both per the editor's request, yet no one has dealt with the corrections. The quote itself, from Kenneth Frazier, a key player in the Board's decison and CEO of Merck Pharmaceuticals, explains his thinking at the time, and was featured in a front page article on the New York Times. As the article currently stands, there is only an "anonymous" reference to the Board's actions. I have submitted this twice, both times correcting for whatever the "fault" may be, yet still this important historical interview is excluded. (Bagumba, an editor with priveleges to revise, had already said important quotes from the NYT article should be included).

Please let me know why Kenneth Frazier's statement continues to be excluded. Thanks. --AVR2012 (talk) 05:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Re: Halloween article

I think there might be a lot of info missing from NCDC. I'm quite busy IRL right now, but I believe that info should be added before any further steps are taken. Also, there isn't consistency on whether it caused over $1 billion or not. Most sources I find don't include it among the billion dollar U.S. disasters in 2011 (see here or here). I tried finding a damage total, but I couldn't get anything good (just some figures from NCDC). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

No prob! Good luck. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Yea, the way I would've done the article is split all impact by area, but that tends to get rather generic. I'm not really used to (in my hurricane articles) having a separate fatalities section. I think it'd be a bit morbid to go into a lot of detail for each type of death, but I do agree that it's a bit short. In short, I'm not really sure. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd personally limit it to interesting deaths, for ones that I'd go into detail. I think you're on the right track though. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Fyi

User:Goodbyz's claim in both unblock requests that the threat was not a legal threat within the meaning of WP:legal does not sit easily with me. When Goodbyz appeared at the Gingrich presidential campaign article talk page to advocate for the edit-warring multiple-IP user there (who promptly vanished, and has not reappeared therafter), Goodbyz was at pains to claim that the IP user is "an attorney"[2], and also claimed, at Goodbyz's UTP, that Goodbyz him/herself is the IP's "colleague",[3], i.e. someone with professional legal expertise of some kind.

MSU Interview

Dear Daniel,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 02:47, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
