BF101 SPI

Thanks for that, I was just about to do the same - 3 years an admin and SPI is still a learning experience for me...! LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

making an information of a Band

Mr.Elockid I am requesting to write a person who is good at music,can I make an encyclopedia about him because he is really cool —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagats789 (talk • contribs)

Sorry, you can't. Please see Wikipedia:Notability. This will explain it. Elockid ^(Talk) 12:41, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Ecko1o1

This guy is causing problems again. He left an inappropriate comment on my talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Thegreyanomaly&diff=prev&oldid=389808622), he is making disruptive edits ([1], [2], [3], [4]), and he is also using his racist logic on the Asian American talkpage and making comments such as

“ how is it logical that a half Asian man can be considered an asian american? I have only one explanation for this, racism. If you have another explanation, please elucidate me. -Ecko1o1 (talk) 23:27, 9 October 2010 (UTC) ”

(which seem to explain why he wants to take that picture down from Interracial marriage in the United States)

He also is using racist logic to try to justify removing some Asian groups from the Asian American page. I made a response to his initial comments on the matter, but I simply don't have the time to respond again because I am bogged down with school work. Can you intervene in this for me and make sure he doesn't start making major edits to Asian American. Also is there any disciplinary action that can be taken against him? Anyways, I need to log off Wikipedia now.

Sincerely, Thegreyanomaly (talk) 18:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

The comment on your talk page seems like he/she's going for the superiority motive. Not very nice. This definitely needs to be mentioned on ANI. His/her racist comments are not constructive to building an encyclopedia. The disciplinary action I can think of is either a topic ban or a block. But I still might be considered too involved. I'll make the post to ANI when I have more time. Mid-term week is coming up for me. Elockid ^(Talk) 18:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that Ecko has said some extremely disrespectful things on another admins talk page Thegreyanomaly (talk) 01:04, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 02:40, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Elockid. You have new messages at WP:ANI.
Message added 02:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

You're an admin; why not just block him and RD2 the racism? Access Denied ^{[FATAL ERROR]} 02:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I was previously involved in a dispute with him. Any intervention from myself would probably cause more drama because of my involvement with him. Elockid ^(Talk) 03:02, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh... WP:INVOLVED. Of course. Access Denied ^{[FATAL ERROR]} 03:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

User: 174.112.180.36

Do you fancy looking at the edit history of user 174.112.180.36 since your last block? I know they have only made a handful of edits and only been warned once since they have been unblocked, but looking at the recent edits and the history I thought you might like to keep an eye on them. --Wintonian (talk) 18:31, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure if that IP is static or rather the same person, but based on the edits, it could be. So yeah, I'll keep an eye out. Elockid ^(Talk) 21:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Brian Cook (college sports blogger, auther)

Brian Cook (college sports blogger and author) was recently deleted from wiki. I beleve this to be a mistake as Mr. Cook runs mgoblog.com, one of the most comprehensive college sports blogs in amarica. His content has been referenced by journalists from ESPN, The Big Ten Network, The Detroit Free Press, The Ann Arbor News and by authors such as John U. Bacon who is also a professor at The University of Michigan. Brian Cook also is a freelance sports writer for SBNation.com, as well as many other sports related websites. I trust that Mr. Cook's Wiki page will be reinstated once you have done your proper due diligence.

Frank Kaiser Meals69 (talk) 20:22, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I didn't delete the page. You'll have to talk to NawlinWiki (talk · contribs) which you've done. You may also wish to get a deletion review. Elockid ^(Talk) 22:13, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Your welcome

It was no problem at all. I understand how annoying it can be to have someone mess with your talk page. Have a nice day. Hmrox (talk) 16:14, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

SPI case

Hello,

You recently closed the case Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Miradre. However there is one more potential puppetmaster who has been mentioned but not checked. The user is Jagz. Wapondaponda (talk) 16:40, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I've reopened to the case for others to look at. Elockid (Alternate) ^(Talk) 18:14, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Milljason22

Hey, there is something more nefarious at foot there. I've posted some results - just a note since you reviewed the case earlier. TNXMan 16:56, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Also, good catch! Elockid (Alternate) ^(Talk) 18:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

User:Crolladder

Hi, I wasn't sure where exactly to bring this up, but given you responded to this user's listing of me on the Vandalism noticeboard, I thought I'd bring it up to you. Now, while the actual content dispute that prompted Crolladder to list me there is a whole other kettle of fish (in summation, a check of the page edit history and his own edits will reveal that his editing has been primarily devoted to pushing his opinion on one single item), what really troubles me his is claim here] that I "emailed hurtful emails to me and then vandalizes the page again". This is egregiously false--I have had no direct contact with this user outside of a few replies on Talk:Oasis (band) and have not e-mailed him at all (I am also not vandalizing the page, but that's really the lesser issue to me right now). Coupled with his editing behavior (in addition to pushing his POV, he threatens other users with reporting them for vandalism), I believe this editor requires a closer look. Thanks for your time. WesleyDodds (talk)

I'll monitor the user and the article and intervene if necessary. 12:39, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

That was Zsfgseg

He seems to have access to a least a /13 range, so dealing with him is difficult. Do you know any methods other than this continued RBI'ing? Also, I filed an LTA at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Zsfgseg. Access Denied ^{[FATAL ERROR]} 00:34, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

From what I know, he edits through a /12 range. With ranges that big, there really isn't much we can do unless the community or the foundation agrees to having his ranges blocked and have collateral. You could also try Wikipedia:Abuse response. Unfortunately, the only we can do for now is RBI. Elockid ^(Talk) 00:41, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

And if I'm correct that means he has access to slightly over 1 million IPs. I don't understand why ISPs are even allowed to use such large ranges. Access Denied ^{[FATAL ERROR]} 00:44, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Don't understand either. Elockid ^(Talk) 00:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

The range would be 71.240.0.0/12... correct? Access Denied ^{[FATAL ERROR]} 06:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Yup. Elockid ^(Talk) 10:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

User talk:74.254.68.126

Hello Elockid, I think that this guy User talk:74.254.68.126, is a sock of the User you blocked a while back, User:ProfessorJane. The edits patterns are really similar, always adding flags to the PRC/ROC/Taiwan articles, and non-neutral stuff about them being two countries. He seems to be at it again. If you could look into this it would be great. Thanks. T-1000 (talk) 04:26, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

To add to that, the IPs geolocate to one of their primary locations. 74.254.68.126 blocked 72 hours. Additionally, 75.182.50.27 blocked 2 weeks. Elockid ^(Talk) 10:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

RfPP clerking

Hey there! your clerking at RfPP indicates there's 2 outstanding requests, but to me they all seem to be actioned. Can you work out which the script is missing (because I can't) then I can see if Rami can fix it. Ta. GedUK  11:08, 27 October 2010 (UTC) PS, nice talkpage theme! GedUK  11:08, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Heh, having said that, it does make the 'UK' in my sig disappear! GedUK  11:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it might have to with the RfPP templates not being the last comment. There are two that I found where this was the case. The request for Tariq Aziz and Template:Treehouse of Horror. I'm not entirely sure though. I've alerted Rami about this. Thanks for the complement Ged! Elockid (Alternate) ^(Talk) 14:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

reply to your message

1. hello,

i want to know on what basis you are proving me wrong.you are saying that surat's metropolitan area population i am providing is wrong.then i would like to remind you that the city population of surat in 2010,which is provided by surat municipal corporation iteself is 4.7 million.mind it! i am not talking about the metropolitan area.and in the list of most populous metropolitan areas of india you are stating surat metropolitan area's population is 3.2 million.it truely makes sense that metropolitan area population cannot be smaller than city pop. it clearly states that you are mad.and what are you talking about the source do you think that world gazeetar is more reliable than surat municipal corporation website.if you think that you hell with world gazettar.i was providing the right population figures for surat and you think its a joke.then from now onward i say goodbye to wikipedia,only because of you and mind it! it would be very serios.no editing no information for wikipedi from now onwards.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dangerpatel (talk • contribs)

Municipal population does not mean metropolitan population. Take Chongqing for example. It has a population of 31 million people in it's municipal borders. However, every other source put its metropolitan nowhere near that number, not even past 10 million. This is basically because in the true sense of what a metropolitan area is, Chongqing does not have a population of over 31 million people. Just because the municipal population is bigger does not mean that the metropolitan population is bigger. That number that you keep putting is from CityMayors which I have already explained to you is unreliable. I added the actual municipal population and you have concurred that it's very reliable. You have said yourself that the population is 4.7 million for 2010. However, you with this edit put again the same unreliable source. What prompted this change puzzles me because you are contradicting yourself. Elockid ^(Talk) 00:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
