The Optimist's talk page Welcome to my talk page. For ease of reading, if you leave a message here I'll reply here unless you request otherwise. If I leave a message on your page I'll be watching it for a few days, unless it's a vandalism or block notice, so feel free to reply there (though feel free to prod me with {{tb}} if I seem to miss it). Please note that I'm based in the UK, so I'm very unlikely to respond between about 00:00 and 06:00 UTC, also I'm usually busy at weekends. Older messages can be found in the archives.

Alt account permissions Hi Optimist, I was looking at various account permissions (here) and noticed you'd granted all but sysop rights to your non-secure account Pek the Penguin. Are all these necessary? In particular, (IPBE + account creator) and edit filter manager seem problematic, as Pek the Penguin seems by definition to be for use when you can't be sure your password won't be sniffed. Could you think about removing account creator and edit filter manager? Regards! Franamax (talk) 21:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC) Agreed. I rarely use account creator and edit filter on my main account, let alone Pek, so I’ve removed these. I added IPBE as it’s more likely I’ll be using Pek from an unsecured network, e.g. hotel wifi etc, which is more likely to already be IP blocked. The notice on User:Pek the Penguin is there to make sure the account is blocked if it is compromised, so even if it is used to circumvent an IP block, it shouldn’t do much damage.  An optimist on the run! 17:15, 26 January 2012 (UTC) Article Dr. Mahanambrata Brahmachari Hello Optimist on the run, this editor User:JAGADBANDHU has moved it's own user and talk page to article Dr. Mahanambrata Brahmachari. This is fairly a new account created over 2 weeks back. The article fails Wikipedia:Notability (people), also has no sources and references and there seems to be a possible Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I therefore request you to take appropriate action as soon as possible. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 13:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC) I had already tagged the article for speedy deletion before. It has been deleted now :). TheGeneralUser (talk) 13:56, 28 January 2012 (UTC) Ok. I don't think there's a case for taking action against the user at this stage.  An optimist on the run! 15:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC) I wasn't asking for any action against the user, i was actually requesting for the page to be speedily deleted. The matter has been solved. TheGeneralUser (talk) 09:52, 29 January 2012 (UTC) Talkback There is a short summary of what I was trying to do and a reply to your comments in User talk:Yobot. Thanks. -- Magioladitis (talk)
