Banana Bucket

Sir, I live in RSA and at my place the expression means offensive slang for vagina. I request you to change it.

Can you give a citation for this. I would be happy to change it if necessary. However, I do note that your IP appears to be in Turkey. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I don't know why mention Turkey. Were you joking? please see the article and search for words bucket, banana etc. in it. http://www.bortsportal.com/2005/11/02/vagina/

At risk to my stomach churning, I checked the list. I specifically does not include the term "banana bucket". Yes, it includes "banana" and "bucket", but many other otherwise innocent words are also in there - do you propose to censor any and all such combinations? --Dweller 09:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Katrina Renars.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Katrina Renars.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

It is used in the article Congratulations (Eurovision).Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hope you're OK and enjoy your Wikibreak. Well deserved. Just to let you know that a few of us have responded to your advert. We've started with Paul Collingwood and will try to get it to FA asap. If (when?) we complete the task, we'll press on with another of your selected articles. Cheers, --Dweller 20:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, just a routine hibernation for some rest and recharging I think. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sarvagnya/Gnanapiti sockpuppets?

Hi,

I recall seeing a statement by you making a statement on sockpuppetry/meatpuppetryhere. This was due to Dmcdevit confirming that both Sarvagnya and Gnanapiti are sockpuppets here. The account for Gnanapiti was warned not to edit on a same page as Sarvagnya. However, after being warned, both accounts were used in a vote fraud here by user acount of Sarvagnya and here by user account Gnanapiti.

With all due respect, I have reported Sarvagnya for his incivil behavior, trolling, and abuse of accounts on the Admin Notification of Incidents here. Instead, I have been bombarded for improper uploading of images. I understand that per procedure as an admin, it is your duty to see to it that editors follow the rules and have accepted your requests and questions to my uploading. Furthermore, I have taken care of that situation. However, it seems that regardless of the report I made, it has been left undone. As administrator of Wikipedia, I ask for justice and equality in dealing with the editors on Wikipedia. Please look into this situation regarding Sarvagnya and take the appropriate action. As it shows, I am not the only one who has requested a check user on Sarvagnya here. Thank you.

And it has been refuted. They are free subject to the restrictions above. These were stated after the first positive check. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So, bascially it is not ok to conduct sockpuppetry, but it is ok to be involved with meatpuppetry? I thought you had stated the same thing against that here. I do not understand why some people can get let off the hook so easy. What does it matter if both accounts are used on lines of Kannada language or not? What if it is on the lines of Tamil language, would that count? Well, it looks like the two user accounts have engaged in a battle on Kannada lines here. Wiki Raja 05:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they are allowed to collaborate to improve an article etc, etc, it means that if they revert in a group, they only get three reverts together, so to speak. Yeah, they aren't supposed to vote together on Kannada or topics which are based on linguistic lines. In this case that means the Sarvabhaum ban, although it had no effect on the outcome. You can point this out to them I suppose, or if they do it again, simply point out on the voting page that they are under these restrictions so that the administrator who closes the debate doesn't double count (although it strictly isn't a count). Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fully aware of the past checkuser results, and Sarvabhaum has already told everybody he introduced Gnanapiti to Wikipedia when Gnanapiti visited him. After the second check, they were in two different places after Gnanapiti went home to a faraway location. So they are free to edit, except if they team up in a linguistic battle upon Kannada lines, they don't get counted as two people, since Gnanapiti was introduced to Wikipedia by Sarvagnya in that context. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even Bakasuprman states that Sarvagnya is using a sockpuppet here/here. Wiki Raja 05:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the battle lines were drawn on linguistic lines then no they are not allowed a double quota; eg the arguments on Belgaum were Kannada vs Marathi, etc.... I don't see a double use of the revert quota on Yakshagana. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yakshagana is from Karnataka, just like Belgaum is in Karnataka. Wiki Raja 07:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I do see a double use of both accounts of Sarvagnya and Gnanapiti have been used on Yakshagana here, here, here, and here. Both accounts have also edited on Kannada language here,here, here, here,here, andhere. Both accounts have been also used on Karnataka here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. On the Kannadigas both accounts have edited here, here, here, here, and here. On Kaveri River, both accounts have edited here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

What is shocking enough is that you said here that, "Gnanapiti was subsequently unblocked and free to edit - under the condition that they did not double vote" on 12 February 2007 in which they did here and here on 9 February 2007. Both usernames of Sarvagnya and Gnanapiti can be seen in the same vote fraud on this page here here. I am sorry to sound like this, but the more we discuss about this issue, the more I sense favoritism. Wiki Raja 08:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikiraja, let me please clarify something for the last time in the admin's presence. I and Gnanapiti(we are two different people, not me with two accounts) were accused of sockpuppetry by Bakasuprman a few months ago. The initial checkuser upheld it. But both of us appealed and upon further investigation, we were cleared of sockpuppetry charges. Btw, 'sockpuppetry' is when one person uses multiple accounts in bad faith.

Now the other concern that then cropped up was of 'meatpuppetry'. Meatpuppetry is when, two or more people in cohorts with each other act in bad faith to push their POV. Now, let me clarify something here.

I introduced Gnanapiti to wikipedia(en.wiki). I only taught him how wiki works, how to edit and inane stuff like that. This does not constitute meatpuppetry by any stretch of imagination. If anything the project needs more people like me who will bring in more editors to build this encyclopedia.

I did not implant any 'ideology' in his head. Whatever his views are, they are purely his own. I have no control over his thought processes. He is a responsible adult and is certainly more than capable of taking a stance about anything. As for my own views, needless to say, they are my own.

So there we have it. Sockpuppetry accusations were hogwash. And meatpuppetry concerns misplaced. And in spite of this, Gnanapiti was effectively blocked for almost a month for no fault of his or mine.

As for Yakshagana, stop giving it a spurious spin. Let me tell it the way it is. Gnanapiti has an interest in Yakshagana and has been editing that article for a long time. As for me, that article was not even on my watchlist. However, I have an interest in what you call 'Dravidian' topics and few of them are on my watchlist. I therefore happened to come across your templates and therefore I landed on Talk:Dravidian topics or one of those 'Dravidian' talk pages. The discussions there went on and on and on with you stubbornly stonewalling. It then started spilling over to multiple talk pages with you leading me from one page to another. I myself had been a part of the discussions on few of them. It was then that I happened to observe that the discussion had reached Talk:Yakshagana too. It was then that I landed on Talk:Yakshagana. You led me there.

As for your charge of votestacking (1) neither Sarvabhaum nor the template votes were 'linguistic' (2) the extra vote hardly mattered. Decision was almost unanimous (3) like I said, we are neither sockpuppets nor meatpuppets. So it is not very easy to keep a track of what the other is doing. When I vote somewhere, believe me, I dont bother(and cant be expected) looking up and scanning for Gnanapiti's name each time. I just go and vote. Thats all. If anybody(admin or anyone) has concerns about both of us voting, it is upto them to keep an eye out and strike out one of us.

So stop your crowing and get back to doing something useful. Your non stop tirade against me, your vague templates or your copyvios are of no use to wikipedia. So stop it and stop it NOW! Sarvagnya 17:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Blnguyen - I think I've clarified this as best as I could. I will not respond to any further trolling on his part. If he again uses terms like vandal, votefraud, votestacking, sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry etc to describe me or Gnanapiti, I request that you block him for disruption. I think I've explained enough.
