Merkey at it again

Trying to avoid a drama fest by telling a couple of hard nosed admins instead of going to the AN/I snake pit.

Discussion

Hello :), please help reach consensus by weighing in your opinion here. Thanks!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 11:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Proof of Case

I'm just wondering where the discussion took place that the user is a sock puppet? I've suspected this for a while, but I could never put a user on it. The user had been causing problems for weeks with me, even suspecting ME for sock puppetry. :/ Thanks, ℥^nding·start 18:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry it went on so long. Once I looked at it, it was obvious. There hasn't been a discussion. Since I was convinced, I'm allowed to block. If he requests unblocking, a checkuser will be run before granting any unblocks.—Kww(talk) 18:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, alright. It's fine, I'm just glad the user is FINALLY blocked. I'm looking at the original investigations, and you're right, it IS so obvious. That user would not stop with the bubbling under nonsense. ℥^nding·start 18:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer Lopez discography again

Kevin, I know you mentioned that you have a full time job now and your response time is slow, but if you have time please see the edits of user 1111tomica at Jeniffer Lopez discography. This user has made around some 30 edits within two days, which is fine. But making incorrect changes such as changing the first parts of the citations in the singles table from New Zealand's positions for Jennifer Lopez to NZ ALBUMS (see the entire change here), or supporting all Swiss certifications with 2007 certifications and claiming I explained it, I'm totally right here ! is not a behaviour of someone who likes to work with wiki community. Also, please note that the user has removed all those sources that were placed in the singles boxes for "I'm Into You" and "On the Floor", those positions cannot be found in the sources provided. There are other incorrect changes as Work=German Albums Chart (which should be Media Control), see all other similar changes. Unacceptable behaviour overall.--Harout72 (talk) 23:58, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kevin, I had included citations this time. Is that not suffice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmarie9 (talk • contribs) 04:07, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie

Since blocks does not work with him, could you please protect the pages edited by 86.181.212.145 (talk · contribs). Thank you in advice. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:04, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sinead O'Connor

Hello. I've been trying to put the Singlechart template in "Nothing Compares 2 U" article, but it just won't let me to. The link becomes broken. I guess it has something to do with Sinead O'Connor's name and symbols used in it. I don't know how to write it correctly, so I'm asking for help. — Cannot (talk) 00:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Wonda

There is a wealth of information about this individual and I've been trying to update it as appropriately as possible. What can you recommend? Is there any way I can run a revised version with you without being blocked from editing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmarie9 (talk • contribs) 00:36, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dewan?

Can you take a look at Areapeaslol (talk · contribs)? cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 07:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Routerone

Would you please take a look at the most recent discussion at User talk:Routerone#Concern. It appears to me he has broken his zero revert agreement - and his edit summary "(cleanup, tidy and adjust)" is a bit misleading - adjust seems to mean delete some material and change other material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 14:06, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 22:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is an indefinite block over this really appropriate? Tweaks to the lede, especially the opening sentence, have been far from rare for this article; any change at all could be construed as a "revert". ...comments? ~BF izz 00:15, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was borderline, but it was made clear to Routerone that there was no tolerance or fudging permitted. Even a revert of blatant vandalism would have resulted in him being blocked. In this case, he removed material from the lead that he had objected to and reverted in the past. It technically met the definition and I felt the spirit of it did as well.—Kww(talk) 00:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely given his behavior in the past. I think it was inevitable. Dougweller (talk) 04:59, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hot100brasil

Do you think its time to blacklist this url completely? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have an edit filter that watches for it, so the links don't last long. I keep arguing with myself as to whether it's better to blacklist it. Maybe refusing to save the edit will just result in people posting the figures without any clue as to where they came from.—Kww(talk) 01:27, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dewan and Tomara dynasty

I hit upon Tomara dynasty via an unrelated route (searching for articles using a specific unreliable source), but spotted the PP and then the SPI etc. I've done a fair amount of quick cleaning but am off to bed. I would imagine that you have this article watchlisted, in which case you may wish to consult with SpacemanSpiff regarding what it is I am likely to do to it! Although SS has no information regarding my intent on this article, they are aware of the work that I have done on various caste/dynasty/clan articles. There will probably be a quite significant pruning, then rewrites/rephrases etc and it will happen in bursts. Obviously, if you have a problem with this then please do let me know. - Sitush (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

V7 sport/Iqinn blocks

No, I am not here to question your blocks. Thought I'd get that right out of the way, they are completely solid blocks of two users who clearly have a bad case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. My only concern is that one or the other of them might be able to convince an admin to consider unblocking them. For the moment I have advised them both to consider WP:OFFER. If that doesn't fly I definitely think the next step is ANI to propose an interaction and topic ban of at least a year but preferably indefinite with no appeals for the first year and not more than once every six months thereafter. Neither user is helping in the area they choose to edit, and they obviously cannot work around each other. For the moment I think we can wait and see what they do next, but thought I'd put a bug in your ear about this as it seems you've tangled with these two before.

Born This Way (song)

Kevin, a user is insisting on adding the Japanese Oricon physical CD sales chart in the above article. However, I reverted his/her addition since it is a component chart of the Japan Hot 100, along with the radio airplay and the SoundScan Japan charts. Can you please check if I did the right thing? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 01:59, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About your recent revert of my revert

You undid my revert of Fleet Command's removal of red links from the template. [1] with the message "addition of non-navigational links to navigation template". Have you seen the discussion on the talk page? The red link guideline page states: Red links are generally not ... linked to through templates such as Main or Further, since these navigation aids are intended to help readers find existing articles. An exception is red links in navboxes where the red-linked articles are part of a series or a whole set, e.g. a navbox listing successive elections, referendums, presidents, sports league seasons, etc. These red links are thus valid, since these red links are in fact part of a series. Listing someone's books in those two bestselling series of his, and not listing all of them, is not a better alternative than this. Dream Focus 02:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nelly Furtado page

Hello! I was wondering if you could semi-protect the Nelly Furtado page, because just recently a prankster altered her whole biography, changing her from a "Canadian of portuguese descent" to an "Indian who came from New Mumbai." He changed the instruments that she plays, i.e, from "guitar, keyboards, ukelele and trombone" to "sitar, harmonium and what-not"! I had a tough time clearing that mess up. I would have semi-protected the page if I knew how to, the fact is that I don't.....so please help.....Manas justice (talk) 09:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sock puppetry

Hi Kww. I used to be a consistant contributor to wiki untill I left wiki 2 years back. The recent edits made under IP 69.118.40.76 and 129.42.208.174, mistaken to be sock puppetry by another user and reverted by you were actually made by me. After having authored more than a dozen FA's (some of which I touched recently) I left wiki, unable to contribute for both personal reasons and the kind of sock puppetry you face on wiki everyday. So, I dont blame you for the reverts. I was too lazy to log in. I do visit wiki once every six months or so if I feel I have found a really good source and some new information, though I realize I should have logged in. Please do revert your reverts and then lock up the articles if you feel there are socks trolling those articles. However, if you prefer not to revert my edits (to articles Asaga, Western Ganga Dynasty, Political history of medieval Karnataka, Rashtrakuta literature and the template within that article, and Kannada) I will not bother to make an issue. I visit only ocassionally and really dont want to get into debates. You may retain the template I deleted from two of those articles, though I think they only create more confusion. All the best on wiki.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 16:10, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
