Impostor

Steel, thank you for tracking down and blocking that impostor account. I really appreciate it. Thanks, mate! - Alison ☺ 19:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Virtual Console North America Protection

I think you pre-emptively unprotected the page. If you had read the talk page, you'd see that an agreement had NOT been reached, it was just Miles. Please re-add protection. Edit war has begun again. LN3000 01:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

2nd nomination. It's unbelievable how long this petty party has gone on. SashaNein 03:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Controversy in parapsychology

Thanks for protecting the page. I would like you to know that my last revert -or edit or whatever it was I'm not sure now- was by mistake. I was trasferring my editing to a sandbox to get away from VanTucky, and I saved the main page instead of the sandbox by mistake. Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 22:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Er, ok. Do you want it reverted? – Steel 22:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, looking at it now, it is my version in there... so I'm happy... Must have been saved seconds before you protected it. Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 23:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be best for them to take this back to Afd? Protection on the site is not going to be help them resolve this matter. The whole merger conflict and wanting to keep a page that isn't very wiky and just two problems. If the guy opposing merger felt that his articles can rest on Parapsychology it might help, but only if they go through a 2nd Afd. Mike33 23:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Well that's not up to me. I don't care what they do as long as the edit warring stops. – Steel 23:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean "rest on parapsychology"? Everyone else wants to merge, it's only VanTucky... Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 23:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

"rest within parapsychology" I meant. Its his words he lisenced his words under GFDL he doesn't want them dead, but he doesn't want them buried in subcat either. I just want warring to stop Mike33 23:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm the one who wrote the article -almost all of it- in the first place. VanTucky just appeared out of nowhere. Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 00:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Naval ranks and insignia of the Russian Federation

Steel, thanks for re-semi-protecting it, and thank you for adding the LTA link in your block summary. I was not familiar with Roitr when I originally requested the page be un-protected; had I been familiar, I probably would have not. Have you noticed Rostik. (talk · contribs)? I am quite positive the editor behind that account is the same as was behind User:Roitr. The same "full stop"-convention as was used in his previous sock accounts, working in tandem with IPs to repeatedly (read: twice daily) remove speedy deletion tags of unsourced images (that Roitr has previously dealt with). A block may be in order. Cheers, Iamunknown 15:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I've just blocked that Rostik chap - see also Horesa (talk · contribs · logs) and Hosare (talk · contribs · logs) who were responsible for re-uploading those naval uniform images each time they were deleted (working in concert with the IPs undoing orphanbot). – Steel 15:19, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Omg, there are so many. See Rebote (talk · contribs · logs) and the account's one contribution; Rebote and Rostik. are definitely socks at least of each other; Rebote, then, is probably a Roitr sock. I didn't realize how widespread this was. Do you have any recommendations on how I should handle this? That is, for future sock-spottings, should I go to ANI (or elsewhere)? Thanks, Iamunknown 15:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

And another - Hasere (talk · contribs · logs). --Iamunknown 16:47, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

On the flip side, however, Hasere did provide a source for those images.  :) I don't think, however, that they are free; I'll probably list them at WP:PUI to get other opinions. --Iamunknown 17:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Arguably speedying them under G5 would be better. What do you think? – Steel 20:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

You blocked me with an expiry time of indefinite (Probably Roitr) - Probably it is not good argument for block. I am not Roitr. All my edits from official sites and I have for them proofs. You also have hastened to block other users, though them edits were correct too. Because the block, I have been compelled to create the new account to write to you it. User:Rostik.

It's a good enough reason for me. If you don't want to be blocked as a Roitr sock then don't cause trouble on known Roitr targets. – Steel 20:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

RFPP

Well, I have fresh memories of being on the requesting end of RFPP :) If something hasn't been handled within a couple of hours, IMHO there's a dissatisfied editor somewhere :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:58, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

RE: Protection requests for Italian Army Ranks and Ranks and Insignia of NATO Armies/OF/Italy

Yep, you are right, thanks for the tip. -- ReyBrujo 00:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
