User talk:Kiko4564 and User talk:Kiko4564 (alt)

Hi, why is this user blocked again? -- A Certain White Cat ^chi? 15:58, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Inappropriate block in the absence of any evidence of disruption, please revert the block. Nobody Ent 16:16, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

The user requested unblock with this statement: "With regards to my bad history of sockpuppetery, I will agree to cease the use of even nominally permitted alternate accounts, which are also known as benevolent sockpuppets...If given my last piece of rope, I will not be as stupid and immature to hang myself with it." Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive737#Unblock of User:Kiko4564. This commitment seems to have lasted about a month. I'll bring it over to ANI for review. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 16:52, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I will post my remarks there. -- A Certain White Cat ^chi? 17:19, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response!

User wiqi55 violated 1rr rule

The user wiqi55 has violated the 1rr rule he is under. i am also under this rule. if i had violated the 1rr rule, admins would ban me straight away. i hope that if it happens that i somehow break the 1rr rule, then i should be shown leniency like wiqi55. if not then i think wiqi55 should be banned indefinitely NOW for breaking the 1rr rule! (he was already warned once for breaking it by PassaMethod) I hope for some consistency from mods--Misconceptions2 (talk) 12:30, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Please provide diffs of the offending edits; since you know where the violation(s) occurred, why should I waste my time hunting for them? --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 14:38, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Jpgordon, there is now a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Next steps for User:Wiqi55 — advice needed. Diffs are given at User talk:Wiqi55#Your unblock condition from December. I am notifying you since your name appears in Wiqi55's block log. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:09, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Question about block of NoObsceneUsernames

Hi. I was the admin who originally blocked NoObsceneUsernames as a vandalism-only account. After seeing your note that this is a "Checkuser verified abuser of multiple accounts", I thought it would probably be appropriate to block this account from sending e-mail or editing his/her talk page. However, I don't want to get into trouble for messing with a checkuser block, so I wanted to ask you about this first. — Richwales 03:43, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for asking -- you can always make checkuser blocks stronger, I would think. Nobody would take offense. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 03:47, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I assumed that was the case, but I just wanted to be absolutely sure. — Richwales 04:19, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
since I've seen you making this check, you really need to repeat this one to see it.

Sullivan's Electoral tactics at Oxford

Hi - it has been a while but I have suddenly stumbled across a better reference. The Oxford Myth, 1988 Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Rachel Johnson, ed, contains a chapter on Oxford Politics written by her brother Boris, now Mayor of London. Page 72 sets out a detailed description of Sullivan and what he did via the Pooh-Sticks Society to gain election.

I have no wish to waste any more of everyone's time posting this on Sullivan's entry if you are just going to delete it, so if you would do me the honour of agreeing in advance that this is sufficient source material I would be very grateful. 90.206.161.236 (talk) 09:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Discuss it on the article talk page; I'm not the only one working on that article.--jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Regarding the Takis Fotopoulos entry - possible ad hominem attacks by Inclusive Democracy supporters

Sir, I am in the unfortunate position to inform you that, following what went on regarding the 3RR issue with User:Nikosgreencookie on the Takis Fotopoulos page, I have come under what I perceive as an ad hominem attack by a rather vocal (please see the talk page on the Takis Fotopoulos article) supporter of Mr. Fotopoulos and his Inclusive Democracy movement, User:John Sargis. Seeing that other people (such as User:Nihilo 01 - see his talk page) have come under attack by supporters of Mr. Fotopoulos and the Inclusive Democracy movement, I am being led to believe that there is a behavioural pattern that might constitute various forms of abuse (such as WP:OWN and even harassment of other users). Could you please offer some assistance? Furthermore, I would be grateful if you could point me to Wikipedia administrators or prominent editors that are fluent in both Greek and English, so that they can offer you some reliable information (as I might even be partial or I may misunderstand what I have read) on certain positions of Mr. Fotopoulos and his supporters that are only available in the Greek-language section of the Inclusive Democracy website (and are therefore flatly denied by his supporters here on Wikipedia - the language barrier seems to be put to rather good use). Thank you in advance and I hope this issue will be resolved soon. SentientContrarian (talk) 20:51, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
