Attacks by IP

Hi, thanks for reverting the attack on my talk page so quickly. If you view the history of Cybermud's talkpage you'll see such abuse has being going on every so often for some time now, all from UK IPs.--Shakehandsman (talk) 00:25, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, but oddly enough, looks like I missed some of it. Now

Done. Calabe 1992 00:27, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever's behind that IP seems to have issues tonight. ;) Calabe 1992 00:38, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They'll be back to harass Cybermud one day. The previous IPs I know of are User:109.144.229.69, User:109.144.208.183, and User:109.144.255.187. All BT IPs in the UK.--Shakehandsman (talk) 00:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Interesting. I've watchlisted the talk pages for now. Cheers. Calabe 1992 00:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see Cybermud's topic ban was scheduled to end on the 10th and he's ceased editing completely for it's duration. It looks to me as if the attack was timed purposely so he'd see it on his return in the hope of angering him.--Shakehandsman (talk) 01:15, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good lord. I'll keep an eye on the page. Calabe 1992 01:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I hope you don't mind me asking but would you might watching mine as well? I'm really not having a pleasant time of it at the moment on Wikipedia and you're the only person who's actually offered any sort of assistance.--Shakehandsman (talk) 04:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't post anything offencive.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Whether there is a need or not to conduct spell checks, he has been BLOCKED~!

I changed the word 'bag' to the word 'sack' on the cockles page. I am now subject for ban. This is not fair. The End. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idontneednospellcheck (talk • contribs) 14:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try. Anymore and you'll be blocked. Calabe 1992 14:15, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)Mother of god... NO~!!! Why is my Gerbil here~??? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 14:50, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmmm... wonder where I could have gotten that idea from??? ;) Calabe1992 14:51, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh boy... would you consider using this {{GERBIL}} instead to replace the one on top? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 14:53, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Is there a way to decrease the size of the template? It's huge. Calabe1992 14:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - 600px is just about right, my old eyes got trouble reading them text at 400px. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 14:58, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Done. Calabe 1992 15:01, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Something

		The WikiJaguar Award for Excellence
		I believe this is yours. ItsAlwaysLupus (talk) 17:52, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why, thank you. Much appreciated. Calabe 1992 18:46, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. ItsAlwaysLupus (talk) 19:24, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For cleaning up my user page

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		Thanks for cleaning up my user page and generally taking care of vandalism around here. Jncraton (talk) 03:47, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. :) Calabe 1992 03:47, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reopened ANI discussion

Back on 28 March I closed a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, which I thought was finished with. You were one of the contributors to the discussion. Another editor later posted a further comment below the closed section, and, having read that comment, I decided that the issue was perhaps not as unambiguously finished as I had thought, so I reverted my closure. Nobody posted any more comments to the section, and it is now archived at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive744#Wiki user:Fasttimes68 is vandalizing pages referencing celebrity model Stephanie_Adams. However, an editor has now suggested that I should have informed those who contributed to the discussion that it had been reopened, so I am doing so. It is very likely that nobody had any more to add, but if you would have done so then I apologise for not informing you at the time. If you do wish to say any more about it then it will be necessary to open a new section at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, since the old one is archived. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:48, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Quick question here... is that really necessary? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 15:04, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No further comments here, long done with that one. Thanks for checking anyway, however. Calabe 1992 18:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Faith?

Hello, sir. You made an edit on my page indicating that I had engaged in "bad faith." I am not sure what that means. I merely asked for a better explanation. In the edit summary there were links to wikipedia policy on source reliability, point of view, biographies of living persons. I read them all and still don't understand the issue. In my edit I employed quotations from the subject in order to insure accuracy. The sources were from the Toledo Blade, the website for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the International Business Times and a video of the subject's press briefing.

Everything is verifiable and everything is accurate and everything is neutral. Really, the objections are mystifying. I make these comments in good faith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 18:54, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Take the advice on Collect's talk page. Also, read over WP:EW - you obviously aren't aware of what it consists of. Calabe 1992 18:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adams sock is back

User:74.101.6.158/251 is back on Louise Vyent. Whqt happend to your ban proposal? Did it fizz out? Fasttimes68 (talk) 20:27, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

cu The ban received some support, but was archived. I think the puppet ring has gone far enough at this point, however, that no administrator would allow this, so we can revert and report. Calabe 1992 20:30, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if you are aware, but another editor is working on rescuing the Adams page so the sock has actually showed some restraint. I expect things to go downhill once the Adams article is pulled into main. Fasttimes68 (talk) 20:38, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we'll see how it goes. If the Hershe sock edits that page, they will be reverted. I personally do not oppose the article being created if reliable sources are used, but am not going to allow the puppet to abuse the system. Calabe 1992 20:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RS and GNG certainly apply. If the page can be rescued, I'm all for it, as should every Wikipedian. I have my doubts that this will actually happen, but I hope to be proved wrong. Fasttimes68 (talk) 20:52, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, guess we'll see. I won't participate with the page creation, but will keep an eye out for the socks. Calabe 1992 20:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I opened a Long Term Abuse case for this sock.Fasttimes68 (talk) 18:57, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet. I've put in a move request to have the SPI moved to An-Apple-A-NY-Day as well. Calabe 1992 22:22, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File talk:Shimshal lake.jpg

Hi, In good faith I was just curious what you needed from me regarding the deletion of that picture. I noticed [[1]] post on my talk page. I don't own it or nothing. It seems like a good pic, though. Best regards; assalaamu alaykum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 20:54, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You created a talk page for it that was meaningless, only talking about how awesome the image was. Calabe 1992 20:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Archacki

BLP does not apply, as Henry Archacki is not a living person. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My bad - overlooked it. Thanks. Calabe 1992 15:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected to standard PROD. Calabe 1992 15:09, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Over reaction

The edit left on my user page regarding my edit on Elle Fanning was totally unnecessary. Generalpompeyo (talk) 15:39, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith in situations like this. You inserted the example image, and upon reverting you, the warning was auto-issued. You'll see I have since restored the page to a clean version. Calabe 1992 15:41, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not insert the image. The image was inserted by the user Drew24526 3 times and incorrectly, I just undid his revision and moved the image to the info box. You can see what happened here Elle Fanning: history. On top of that, you reverted my edit as "editing tests" or "vandalism". I guess Huggle isn't that awesome after all. Generalpompeyo (talk) 17:11, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here you inserted the image into the info box. That's the edit that displayed, and subsequently was reverted by me. Why put the example image into the info box about a person? Calabe 1992 22:15, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks to you as well. I finally contacted User:Materialscientist since he's online. Doesn't appear that anyone's patrolling at RPP currently. Calabe 1992 03:05, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't seem like it gets patrolled that often. Thanks for getting his attention to the article! RA0808 ^talk _contribs 03:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Living Things (Linkin Park album)

Hello Calabe1992. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Living Things (Linkin Park album), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: doesn't seem like an implausible search term. Redirects are cheap, with redirect there is no need to fix the link here. Thank you. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 12:53, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at this point it seems to be irrelevant since the album name is now confirmed. Thanks. Calabe 1992 15:16, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch

Sneaky date change. Thank you for reviewing it, I've had a few of those. Didn't go back far enough it seems! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. Calabe 1992 00:44, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Copy>paste

Hey wait, in the last try I have corrected and adjust the version in the name of the article, so I want to know somethin': what was the motive of deletion? -- Well, I have as argument that on spanish version the name says: Mercado Central de Concepcion and it means translating to english: Central market of Concepcion -- It's only a theme of a little mistake of translation, do you understand me?. ok, greets ----XVRE (talk) 01:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the copied version for deletion so that the original version can be moved to the proper name. Calabe 1992 02:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, If you are saying it, no problem. The translation and/or developing of the article can be better. greets ----XVRE (talk) 02:05, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It'll stay tagged until an administrator comes along; then it'll be deleted and the correct article moved to it. Calabe 1992 02:07, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	I shouldn't have let it, but that Huggle error yesterday really did bother me. This is for you for tracking down the source of the problem! Thanks and well done! Wikipelli ^Talk 09:33, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem! I came upon this a while back when Materialscientist asked me if there was any specific reason why I reported someone with no warnings (and only one revert in history). I then realized they were already at UAA, and sure enough, every time someone is already reported there, Huggle feels free to report them at AIV as well. I saw the thread at ItsZippy's talk page and saw the strange similarities... sure enough. Calabe 1992 15:52, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for removing the vandalism from my User page!

You got the vandalism before me! Thank you very much. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. The benefits of being a (talk page stalker)... ;) Calabe 1992 02:54, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha. I've been plowing through STiki so I am not used to the attacks, but I'm using AWB to do lots of assessment and its been going off every time. This is what... the second time you've helped me now? Makes me wanna barnstar you. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Just generic watchlist monitoring going on here, and for some reason I seem to have a habit of checking user talk pages when I see an IP edit with no edit summary. Sound familiar? ;) Calabe 1992 02:59, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh so you don't use Huggle then? Due to the risk of counterattacks like that I use it sparingly. Besides I am way too slow to respond to the vandalism, wish I could watch as effectively as you do. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Poor choice of words there on my part; I do use it but am not at the moment. Many of my edits are made with it, actually. Typically if someone attacks someone due to them being reverted, Huggle will pick it up and display it, allowing you to revert them quickly. Calabe 1992 03:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's blocked now. Love those ones that make it so obvious that they are trolling. The sneaky date changers and multiple IP and user account socks are the ones that get past me on occasion. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:15, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, what's funny is when people put in invalid or futuristic dates. Make it too easy. Calabe 1992 03:17, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE READ THIS

Stop deleting posts that people have made in the talk pages. Why are you doing that? Very un-Christian like.174.19.139.81 (talk) 05:14, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting posts isn't 'un-christian like' as you assume them to be. If you are referring to the edits of the IP 24.247.147.67 , Calabe did the right thing because those were personal attacks directed towards a group of people.. Soviet King : Talk or Yell 12:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:81.178.38.169

My name is William Boyd.

You recently posted on my talk page User talk:81.178.38.169 some "banned mean banned" remark or other. Can you clarify this please. Are you saying that my IP address is blocked or banned?

It's not.

I'm not very active these days on Wikipedia. I used to be extremely active, but I just don't have the time for it now. If I do post in the future on my IP and I find you reverting my edits I shall complain. Wikipedia rarely bans or blocks a user's IP address.

Presently I'm involved in an effort to roll back the iconisation by Wikipedia of an important painting by van Gogh At Eternity's Gate as a representation of mental anguish and despair. I've now traced this to a book published by Cambridge University Press [2] and, satisfied there is nothing more to achieve within Wikipedia, I shall be getting in touch with CUP together as well as the van Gogh and Kröller-Müller museums in Holland and with other institutions and estates to bring the affair to their attention.

Do you in fact have some kind of problem with this? If so perhaps you can let me know on my talk page so I can archive your views.

Who are you by the way? Do we know each other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.38.169 (talk) 06:08, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
