Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AlexBrownGarcia I've added an IP address that's just appeared on the same articles. Dougweller (talk) 08:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC) And after he started quacking, creating Alex Brown-Garcia (illusionist), I blocked him. Can you do something about the IP range, he left a mess to clearup? Can you tell me about the technical issues? Dougweller (talk) 13:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC) Rangeblocked. –MuZemike 19:34, 30 June 2011 (UTC) Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 05:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC) WikiCup 2011 June newsletter We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this. No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores. We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

J Milburn and The ed17 23:36, 30 June 2011 (UTC) SaturdayMight1000 You deleted SaturdayMight1000, why? I created The Saturday Third Studio Album in my user space. With Admin Lil-unique1 helping me! There was alot of work put into that you go and delete it! Thanks Alot! --92.30.192.7 (talk) 18:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC) You are evading your block, LadyLashes, and as such, I have blocked your IP. If you feel I have made a mistake, follow the instructions I have placed at User talk:SaturdayMight1000; as such I am blocking this IP address. –MuZemike 18:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC) For those others wondering, I did not delete the article outright, but instead moved it to the article incubator under Wikipedia:Article incubator/The Saturdays' third album, as a userfied article on an indefinitely blocked user's page will do nothing except sit there and likely indefinitely. The incubator helps mitigate that problem. –MuZemike 18:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Sherman3D Hi, MuZemike! Thank you very much for responding to my 30 June 2011 deletion review at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review I am so glad I found an admin who writes about games and JRPGs too for that matter! I am sure you can understand my frustrations when my article on Sherman3D and my picture of Arevan was deleted when I got permission from the game developers to write about them. As a RPG Maker game fan, I have done them a great disservice because I can't seem to re-post an article about Sherman3D or re-upload an image of Arevan. I hope they are not universally banned. I am not sure if it is because of some previous spam posters but I did my research and got permission to write about these companies and their games. I don't think it is fair that I got my postings/uploads banned because I fixed them as soon as I can and I really did get their permission to post them. My only consolation is that my article on Aldorlea Games was posted without problems and the developer is very happy. I was planning to write articles on more indie RPG Maker companies and games but I am a bit afraid that it might cause these independent developers irreversible damage on Wikipedia now. Please do help me as I am sure you will understand that these developers of games which bring back the nostalgia of those classic JRPGs should be supported! Thank you very much, MuZemike! Alphakimori (talk) 19:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC) First off, you're welcome; I try to help when I can. As far as the image is concerned, which is File:Arevan logo.jpg, we may be able to help you here, assuming you did get permission from the developers to use it. Here is what you need to do there: Clarify that they wish to release the image under the Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) license; the "idiot's version" of the rights behind this license is located here. They must do that, as merely specifying "for Wikipedia use only" is not good enough, as we are a free content encyclopedia, which consists of material that can be shared by anyone. If they agree to release the logo under a free content license, have them send an email with the content listed in the black box here (replacing the greyed out fields with their information on the image) to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Once they have sent that email, go to Wikimedia Commons (a communal free media repository, in which Wikipedia uses many of its images) and upload the image there. After uploading, anywhere on that image page, add {{OTRS pending}} so that others know that confirmation of the license verification is ongoing; it shouldn't take very long at all. Hope this helps a little more. If you have any other questions, let me know. –MuZemike 21:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Thank you very much for the help on Sherman3D and Arevan, MuZemike! Before I bug the developer of Arevan further, I would just like to check with you on why I can't seem to upload the Arevan logo.jpg through the toolbox upload form at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload anymore. The developer has given it the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license as can be seen at the bottom of the page at: http://www.overcloud9.com/ so anybody should be able to upload it to Wikipedia now. I spoke too soon about Aldorlea Games. It has been marked with not meeting the general notability guideline. I have gotten the developer to provide me links to more websites referring to the Aldorlea portal but before I spend my time adding them, I am wondering if that is enough to establish notability and my contributions won't be deleted again. From the sheer number of RPG Maker games distributed by Aldorlea and other notable distributors like Big Fish Games distributing games created by Aldorlea (I provided the references), it would be considered notable. It is certainly notable enough among us RPG Maker fans after Amaranth Games. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again!Alphakimori (talk) 19:03, 2 July 2011 (UTC) User:Stuartyeates Hi the above user is currently using another account User:Not your siblings' deletionist. I noticed you had left a message on his talk page about using Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. was going to report but not sure if he is braking the rules. Could you have a look for me please. Warburton1368 (talk) 10:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC) Johnny Crow's Garden Hi. I was looking for this, found it as a redlink from the author's article, and see that you deleted it last November as a G5, created by Susanne2009NYC (talk), one of innumerable socks of ItsLassieTime. I'm not familiar with how we treat G5 deletions, but whatever the author's sins in terms of socking, looking at the deleted article it seems good. WP:BAN#Edits by and on behalf of banned editors seems to suggest that though "the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert", good contributions need not be lost just because of their origin. Would you have any objection to my restoring this article? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:52, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
