Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate_change/Proposed_decision#Sockpuppetry_in_the_Climate_Change_topic_area

I have posted a direct and simple question for arbitors to verify. I believe the finding of fact referenced may materially mistake facts (writing "accounts" when it actually means "the effect of year old rangeblocks"). It would be nice if you could verify the wording of this proposed, currently passing, finding of fact. Thanks. Hipocrite (talk) 00:59, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

False positive

I just created the article Masquerade (play) and within seconds CorenSearchBot suggested it was a copyvio of a video resource guide from the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Since my article is about a play written in Russian in 1835 by Mikhail Lermontov, this seems rather not a likely match. I do admid I am amazed at how fast that thing works -- and the suggested copyvio source document was a PDF file, even. It can't even imagine how on Earth you do that. Anyway, no problem, but this is a false positive, by a country mile. Herostratus (talk) 03:59, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Clarity (Olap the Ogre)

Saw your CU block of Olap the Ogre. A little unclear. Are you saying he wasn't who he says on his user page, or that it's an unacceptable account even with that identification?--Cube lurker (talk) 17:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

See below. — Coren ^(talk) 18:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Read your answer below and it clears up the question I had. Thanks.--Cube lurker (talk) 18:10, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Olap the Ogre

Not that it likely matters, given the fact that the user retired the account. But can you explain your block and in particular the rationale? This account has been clearly announced as a replacement account. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 17:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

And it would have been left alone had it not been accompanied by even more new alternates — not all declared. At this point, Prodego Polargeo needs to pick one and stick with it; repeatedly changing identity is disruptive and spreads contributions around making it difficult to reconstruct contribution history (not counting the fact that it's both confusing and annoying to the people trying to discuss things with someone who keeps quitting and coming back with a different account during the dispute). — Coren ^(talk) 18:00, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

In retrospect, though, that block didn't need to be marked {{checkuser}} — I double checked with the tool that it and the others were definitely the same users but that one wasn't blocked because of checkuser information but because of the disruption caused by the numbers of "alternates". At any rate, that's mostly academic, since the password to that account is supposedly lost so I doubt there will be a request to unblock it. — Coren ^(talk) 18:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

• Just for the record, I believe that Coren is referring to User:Polargeo, not User:Prodego, who has not been involved in the Climate Change case whatsoever. Risker (talk) 18:25, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Agh. Yes, yes I am. Catastrophic brain failure. — Coren ^(talk) 18:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
    • I'm not certain if catastrophic brain failure is the condition that gets one to stand for ArbCom, or if it is only enforced once you are appointed (did they point a humming device with a large shiny mirror at your head after the election?), or if it is a natural risk coming with the job... ;-) --Stephan Schulz (talk) 18:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure bout running for election, but I'm pretty sure that the brain damage is prerequisite to running for reelection.  :-)

Martintg's topic ban violation

Here you warned Piotrus that any attempt to test the limits of the topic ban will result in its reinstatement. Martintg tried to do just this - and was blocked for a week (although actually the violation was pretty clear and 3 different admins agreed[1][2][3].) I think before the narrowing, Martintg was warned as well -- shouldn't the full topic ban now be restored? As I tried to show in my AE request, I believe Martintg has been consistently ignoring his topic ban from the very beginning. Offliner (talk) 18:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Austin Volk

I just started an article about Austin Volk who was a New Jersey politician and businessman. The bot said the article was a copyright violation because of an obituary I used as a citation. I just used it as a citation. In fact when I used the citation I made a mistake in spelling so initially the citation did not take hold. The article is a stub not an article. Thank you-RFD (talk) 19:37, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Werner Willikens

I am not a member of yahoo groups so I cannot see the text and therefore have no idea what you are talking about. I certainly didn't copy anything from any group but rather took all information from a variety of books as sourced in the article itself. Until the supposed source of copyright violation is available to those of us not involved in yahoo then I fail to see how I can even answer the allegations being thrown at me by some bot.
