Trichuris trichiura

OK, but what's the old account? I'm not saying I doubt the reason for the block; it's just that not saying who the alleged sockmaster (or former account, in this case) is leaves them an opening to challenge the block on those grounds. When they do, those of us who review their unblock requests have to figure this out when there isn't even anything in the block log summary explaining who the other account is. If they're editing disruptively to begin with, that's not a problem. But in this case it's not obvious. Daniel Case (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Naming that account might get me in trouble, so I rather don't, especially if it isn't in a CU request. I am already working on another sockpuppet investigation at the moment and I have to go cook dinner soon. But I don't think we necessarily need to link the sockmaster and the puppet, we have proof beyond reasonable doubt that this is a sock and that this person is not here to improve the 'pedia but instead prefers edit disruptively by starting disputes and editwarring over silly stuff like a SPA tag. So for those who review unblock requests it should be an easy decision imho. Arcandam (talk) 15:26, 23 July 2012 (UTC) p.s. If we believe him he is not using an alternative account in a inappropriate way (WP:ILLEGIT) but abusing WP:CLEANSTART, both are excellent reasons for an indef block...[reply]

Vandalism

Hello, you asked why I edited the Chiropractor article because of the "vandalism" and after viewing the contributor's other edits, I saw a bit of a conflict of interest going on, including the "quack" comments in the editing which didn't seem very helpful or neutral. If you need the links, let me know and I will tryto find them again to link here. Actually, here they are but I do not know how to reference them like other people on here do.... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/An-Apple-A-NY-Day&oldid=501746482 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/An-Apple-A-NY-Day&oldid=503518368 These links show the user making quack jokes, so I didn't think his editing was intended to be useful to the chiropractic article. Just a thought. Riverdancing (talk) 12:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok, I understand. It seems like someone else has reverted you. An easy way to make a link is by using square brackets. To start the link use a square bracket to open it, then put the URL of the website, a space, and the text you want displayed then close it with another square bracket. So for instance this code: [http://www.stroopwafel.nl stroopwafelpower] automagically turns into the following link: stroopwafelpower Arcandam (talk) 12:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, Riverdancing is almost certainly a sock of the forementioned sockmaster.. I'll add them to the SPI page. Fasttimes68 (talk) 13:21, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you

File:Cat guarding the beer fridge.jpg

Forget wimpy kittens. This one is big and tough enough to protect a beer fridge from anything. Don't let the lazy posture confuse you. In other words, thank you very much. All perfect. If I delete/archive my talk page section I assume the 'permalink' will not be effected?--Canoe1967 (talk) 04:40, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can this cat protect my beer fridge from global warming? Cool! Some background info: If I link to a section on my talkpage and afterwards I remove that section on my talkpage the link will be broken. But we can link to a specific version of a page. To do this, you'll need to click the "View history"-tab. You'll see a list of the versions, with the time and date. If you click on the time/date of one of the versions you'll end up at a page with a URL that ends in something like this: "&oldid=504700782". At the top of the page you'll see a small warning message that says something like: "This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Arcandam (talk | contribs) at 04:27, 29 July 2012. It may differ significantly from the current revision". A short answer to your question would be to simply say "yes", but I already wrote this comment before I noticed you had posted on my talkpage.

Thank you again. I have another question I asked about copyright on commons but no one seems to commit to an answer. Do you know anything about copyrights? My cat was born in Canada and I take it to the US and freeze it as a 3D sculpture. Then I take it to Andorra and run it over. This now makes it 2D. I then take it to Italy and take a picture of it. I develop the film in France and have the images mailed to my next stop in Germany. I then go to the UK and scan the images to my laptop. Then I go back to Canada and someone steals my laptop. Can the thieves upload the images to commons as non-threshold of originality in the source country?--Canoe1967 (talk) 05:14, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
