Hi! How are you? [[User:24.160.241.190|24.160.241.190]] 02:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

==Joehazelton is back==

This sockpuppet you have banned is back as Willie Peter [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AWillie_Peter&diff=140673882&oldid=140269760]. He's been able to hoodwink a sympathetic admin, but is up to his old tricks. Propol has tagged him as a Hazelton sockpuppet[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AWillie_Peter&diff=140647508&oldid=140539930], and he (true to form) has removed the tag from his page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AWillie_Peter&diff=140681492&oldid=140681370]. I'd appreciate your looking into this, as you previously blocked him [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lordbyte]. His IP [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AWillie_Peter&diff=140269760&oldid=139920232] is within the series of several Joehazelton socks.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Joehazelton], and his disruptive edits, combativeness, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, ersatz literary references, and threats are the same as ever. Another Joehazelton parallel: the account, less than one week old, is (to quote you) "displaying a shocking familiarity with Wikipedia policies and norms." Thanks for any help you can provide.

:::NOW I will tell you something, WIKIPEIDA is full of jackasses. I will now, instead of spending my energies contributing to Wikipedia, I will now spend it by, diminishing it, and by a letter writing campaign to all my local area office holders, as to the evil and abuse found on Wikipedia. The slander, lies and the like, hiding under section 230 of the CDA 1996. I will lobby now, as hard as I can now for change in that law, and the accountability of those that rule this Animal Farm of lies and abuse of process. Don't underestimate my influence, for I have many friends and all of them consider Wikipeida a "clear and present danger" to the internet at large.

== Third Screen Film Festival ==

Luna,

Some time ago you took down our posting for Thirdscreenfilmfestival.com. You said that we should not use Wikipedia as an advertising vehicle(we were not intending to do that, just inform). Recently, however, you have allowed a wiki for the TV/Internet show "On the Lot", which is the same principle as our festival. Now, is it Wikipedia's intention to allow high level productions to advertise on their site, only to turn around and call a small (we had over 1 million hits in October), website like ours an advertising ploy? I am failing to see what the difference is.

I would log in, but I think that my account was canceled when our posting was taken down.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated,

Joe Chambers <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/{{{IP|{{{User|64.167.84.115}}}}}}|{{{IP|{{{User|64.167.84.115}}}}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{IP|{{{User|64.167.84.115}}}}}}|talk]]) {{{Time|{{{2|}}}}}}</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP -->
:Unfortunately, I don't recall the article you're referring to; a quick search of my deletions hasn't yet yielded any matches, and I haven't managed to find similar articles in any likely permutations of the article name -- it'll be difficult for me to give you a very complete response without seeing the deletion log of the article in question. In general, though, you seem to be under the misimpression that I make every decision (or even a majority of decisions) relating to Wikipedia's daily operations -- in a website with several thousand accounts registered daily and something on the order of two to three edits per second, I am only one user. Given the nature of your message, I'd encourage you to consider our guidelines regarding [[WP:COI|conflicts of interest]] -- where I'm guessing you (or someone you work with) wrote an autobiographical article and popped it into place, you may notice that the [[On the Lot]] article is a collaboration over several months (with 139 unique editors since April 2006) regarding a nationally televised show. So, again, you may wish to review Wikipedia's [[WP:N|notability]] and [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] guidelines.

:If you can get me a link to where the deleted article ''used'' to be, I might be able to offer something more specific. Otherwise, if you feel I'm being particularly unreasonable, you're free to request a [[WP:DRV|deletion review]]. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 20:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

== A question ==

how do you get a page to show up when searched on Google?--[[User:TTNJ|TTNJ]] 20:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
:That's quite a complicated question. ;) If you're curious about a page on Wikipedia, then it may show up on Google once their [[web crawler]] runs another update for en.wikipedia.org; if you're talking about another website, you're getting much further into [[search engine optimization]] than I can take you. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 21:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

how often does their web crawler update the pages? yeah that is what i mean, like if i type in Albert Einstein on google, it will give me the link to the wikipedia page. I was just wondering if you had to have some sort of arangement or if google automatically shows all pages on wikipedia.--[[User:TTNJ|TTNJ]] 21:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
:On that, I actually don't know. For a site this large, they probably don't do the whole thing at once, either. I'm thinking I kind've remember hearing something to the effect of weeks between updates, or perhaps months on the high end, but that's really a guess on my part. I'll see if I can maybe get a more definite answer, later, from someone more involved in these sorts of things. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 21:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

==Anabolic Steroids Article==
I am completely disturbed by the [[Anabolic steroid]] article on wikipedia. It is neither broad in content nor neutral in expression. More specifically, it seems controlled by a single editor who excludes important scholarship on the health risks and serious adverse effects of steroid abuse. This exclusion not only undermines the factual integrity of the article, but also presents a potentially dangerous representation of a serious health concern. I'm not sure exactly where to turn for help, though I have posted it for review under the GA section; is there anything that can be done to remove the 'ownership' this editor has taken over the article and the biased representation of it?
[[User:Indubitocogito|Indubitocogito]] 21:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Indubitocogito
:Hm, I do see that Wikidudeman has made a large number of edits to both the talk page and the article, so that's probably who you had in mind, I'm guessing? At first glance, it looks like most of his recent reverts at the article itself are cleaning up after [[WP:VAND|simple vandalism]], which is pretty common when people put a lot of work into an article -- once they're done making immediate changes, they watch it for the general nonsense Wikipedia articles are inherently vulnerable to. While their replies to you on the talk page clearly indicate someone who's invested a lot of time in the article, they do actually seem quite willing to discuss things with you, in a generally civil manner -- unless I've missed something serious, they don't seem to be attacking you, avoiding debate, or otherwise being disruptive. They do happen to think they're right, but don't we all? ;) If I have missed a more serious issue, do let me know, but my first impression is that the group of you should be able to work out your differences and reach a [[WP:CON|consensus]]; if need be, you can make use of our [[WP:DR|dispute resolution process]], including both the [[WP:MEDCAB|mediation cabal]] and [[WP:THIRD|requests for third opinion]], as needed. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 21:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

==Hi again==

You mentioned your willingness to try to solve some issues between me and [[User:Yug]] by having a word with him, and I'm wondering if you're still willing.

Since he was blocked, he has adopted a policy of sarcastic, reactionary commentary regarding me. His latest weirdness is an "invisible" reply ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Yug&diff=prev&oldid=141006555 diff]) to a comment I placed on his talk page regarding a recent post by him on the [[Talk:CJK strokes]] page ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:CJK_strokes&oldid=140714984 diff]).

All I'm trying to do is create an encyclopaedia here. As an admin, Yug really should know better than to behave the way he is. I really would just like for him to stick with the policies regarding posts: assume good faith, don't be a dick, stick to discussion of the article, and so on. All this nonsense about "not being allowed to do things" and "amateur knowledge" isn't productive. [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 23:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:Hiding discussion seems a pretty obvious no-go, I've removed the comment tags. Beyond that... I'll check back in, tonight, and see if I've figured out something I might do or say to make myself more useful, with regards to this. I need some time to think, but hopefully whatever I think of will be good. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 23:50, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

== External LInks Issue at Spylocked ==

Hello Luna,

I am a registered user at Wikipedia, ES101... I have been posting links and checking on external links at Spylocked page. I have noticed that you have been in conversation with Mike1D who was earlier also being asked to stop spamming at wikipedia on that page.

Now if you see the talk page of spylocked you would see i have given a good explanation of why links to SpywareSignatures.com free removal tools is a good idea and other admins/mod or wiki agreed to it.

Please read this

Hello Otto, respecting Wikipedia's policies here are some points covering your querries with Spylocked Page.

I have been posting links to SpywareSignatures Tool which removes spylocked, THat tool really works well and is even being recommeded by MVPs in the One care and Microsoft Support forums.

Here you might want to see it

http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1426598&SiteID=17

The page from where it is downloaded has more than 15K hits in last couple of months.

Moreover its a popular download on Download.com

http://www.download.com/Free-SpyLocked-Removal-Tool/3000-8022_4-10667426.html?tag=lst-0-1

This software is downloaded over 3000 times since 9th May. ( NOW ITS OVER 6000 )
I would suggest you to download this tool once and test it against spylocked as you did with CounterSpy.

I hope it helps.

Please let me know if the links i posted were SPAM, and i would quit posting.

Best Regards
ES101

:To my opinion it is appropriate to put a link to the tools mentioned above by ES101. I have requested attention for this revert war on [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#Edit_war_at_Spylocked]]. [[User:Otto ter Haar|Otto]] 17:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)



I have words with several mods here and explaind them the benifit of the free tool and all have agreed to it. Please let me know if you have any question about the tool.

Also let me tell you one more thing.

Also there is another link added frequestly that takes to xp-vista(dot)com which promotes SpyHunter which is a former rogue antispyware... it would ask you to download spyhunter but to remove anything you would need to pay $$..

==Checkuser request==

Luna, I really need help with my checkuser request. I am struggling with how to do this properly. This person (user Qworty, not Geri Litton) is probably the sockpuppeter. He has a mammoth amount of sockpuppets on wikipedia and under Geri Litton's username, has published information about me on the "welfare: financial aid" page which would ONLY be known to him and which constitutes a serious invasion of my privacy. Should this request be a category "G," though?
I know Qworty has vandalized under his username (see his history with user Alabamaboy's edits), and I have a list of his known and suspected socks. How do I put this on the checkuser request? Thanks, <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Mountainwriter|Mountainwriter]] ([[User talk:Mountainwriter|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mountainwriter|contribs]]){{#if:1 July 2007|&#32;1 July 2007|}}.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:In general, the rationale provided for a check is probably more important than the particular code letter provided -- if we are splitting hairs over code letters, or can't pick one, it's fine to go with G (the "general case" letter).

== Camilo Pombo ==

Hello Luna Satin,

I was “Googling” Camilo Pombo and found this again:

“User talk:Luna Santin/Archive 27 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The profile for Camilo Pombo should be investigated because he is a criminal that is not being portayed as the real person that he is...”

Can you please explain to me why Google keeps this in, and not the one I sent you a couple of weeks ago? I don't really want to think that you are helping anyone that wants to hurt this guy, or any one else... are you?

Thank you,

Pretty Pettite

==Re: user:Yug==

Hi. I don't know whether you even still want to be involved, but I'm becoming very frustrated by this user's ongoing issues with me.

I've [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Yug&oldid=142490485 responded] to Yug's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Yug&oldid=142462649 long list of accusations] about me on his talk page. I haven't edited any of the [[Stroke order]]-related articles for several weeks. I've generally stayed away from Yug. Yet he continues to maintain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yug/EB a long page all about me with a link to the Arbitration Committee at the top] that contains stuff that's more or less ancient history (including a link to a post some other user made about me in ''2005'' -- a user who was known for his tendentious style of discussion and who [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/DannyWilde hasn't even edited Wikipedia at all for 19 months now]), and a look at Yug's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Yug contribution history] suggests that most of his energy over the last couple of weeks has been devoted to me.

The latest round of accusations seem to have been brought on by my suggestion that two closely related articles, [[Stroke order]] and [[Stroke (CJK character)]], be merged -- a ''proposal'' mind you, not an actual merge. There was almost no discussion of the merge, though it should be noted that there was at least one other support for the proposal.

What I would like at this point is for Yug to delete the page [[User:Yug/EB]], to get back to work editing, and to stop devoting so much time to complaining about me and gathering "evidence" about me for whatever obscure reason. Given that I haven't made any edits at all to the relevant articles for several weeks (and no substantial edits for even longer than that), I can't understand this ongoing issue. [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 22:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:Stop to biases summaries of the pages. I want '''facts'''. I want you show me that you have more knowledge than me on the subject, or that you admit that you haven't. Your merging proposal is an other misunderstanding of both Stroke order and CJK strokes, and yes, I say it again : an user who proved several time having uncomplete knowledge on an issue should not undo more expert-user work.

:Prove me that you have more knowledge than me, or withdraw.

:Last thing : instead of moving again the talk to an other place, read my claims, truly. --[[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><font style="color:green;">(talk)</font></small>]] 22:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

::To Yug: Expertise is not a prerequisite of editing, and never has been. You're free to oppose EB's merge proposal, but I don't see how you can claim it was made in bad faith. It's not clear to me how EB's summary of events is biased. If you might just, y'know, ''play nice'' and such for awhile, he might even be willing to work with you. Simply ''insisting'' on having your way (and keeping infantile evidence pages on anyone who disagrees) is rarely the way to go. Perhaps your knowledge of English does not allow you to display more finesse; if so, that is unfortunate, but I don't know if I'm ready to accept it as an excuse. This soap opera has gone on far too long. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 07:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

:I never claimed he made it in bad faith. Expertise is not a prerequisite, that's right, but if EB want make content change, undoing what I did, he have to '''explain why''', and show that he have more knowledge on this issue, or withdraw.

"Withdraw"? Any person can edit any article on Wikipedia; expertise is not a prerequisite, only factual accuracy and verifiability. In addition, I've never used claims of expertise in regards to my edits: I've never once made reference to my credentials in support of changes I've made or proposed to any article. I don't understand Yug's problem, really. Instead of getting on with editing, he's rehashing and rehashing issues he's blown out of all proportion regarding articles I haven't even touched for weeks.

Indeed, it's ironic that Yug claims that ''I'm'' trying to "own" certain articles, when he's made it abundantly clear that ''he's'' trying to do exactly that. This is really just an extended temper tantrum that I strongly advise Yug to get under control. I've done all I can to diffuse the situation: I've stayed away from Yug.

:All the trouble is that we both aim to "control" this article. These 6 months shown me that I haven't the English need to do so, and that you haven't the knowledge need to do so (you wrote or never corrected : "characters were first carved" ; the never-seen-otherwhere rules about 上 ; set the Japanese order as the world wide rules; now putting the Main-China rules as universal ; "some are the characters 廴，癶，禸，辶，阝" ; the current point 3 which is not a rules but an exception from Cursive ; and the current point 7 which is a misunderstanding of the previous rules and of CJK characters ; keep the uncomplete Unicode 16 CJK stroke set ; image [[Image:馬-kaishu.svg|23px]] should have 10 strokes not 9 ; image [[Image:8 strokes of 永.png|23px]] have one simplification ; the 3 national schools of stroke order is also a simplification).

I have noticed that you blocked a ton of IP addresses that you assume where open proxies.

:I wouldn't be able to tell you if any of those had been used, without assistance from a checkuser, but tonight's set was pulled off of a forum dedicated to helping people find (and use) open proxies -- sometimes for anonymity, other times to circumvent bans and blocks.

Currently, my [[User:Luna Santin/sandbox|sandbox]] lists all of the IPs I blocked tonight ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Luna_Santin/sandbox&oldid=143447547 permalink]). If you click the "RBLS" link next to each IP, it'll take you to a real-time blackhole list, which culls data from a large number of sites dedicated to tracking open proxies and other potential sources of abuse; I've checked for myself, but should you notice that any of these IPs is no longer blacklisted by those lists, or that I've otherwise blocked an IP in error, do let me know. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 08:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you would consider unblocking him. [[User:Talmage|Talmage]] 05:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, did you? I didn't notice, heh. I actually came across this through an unblock request for {{user|68.187.117.71}}, and while I was looking around, {{user|82.204.47.120}} showed up and started looking an awful lot like a block/3rr-evading sockpuppet, thus the block.
