Improper Deletion

Thank you for your time but you deleted the Young Gucci Kurrly page claiming it was my self page! This us not true Young Gucci Kurrly has changed music and the rap game in Atlanta and is historic to the city of Atlanta! So saying this is a self page is disrespectful and discrimination! Young Gucci Kurrly deserves to get his page back many people worked to get someone who has done so much a page! So please undo the delete for this is important history in a young life in Young Gucci Kurrly — Preceding unsigned comment added by Demarcus23 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Actually, it appears that the admin who deleted the page was Shirt58. However, I would have to agree with the deletion rationale. Also, the article wasn't neutral in tone and appears to be too promotional. I would recommend that you read about how to create your first article. You may also ask for assistance at the Wikipedia teahouse, a place where new users can have their questions answered. Mike V • Talk 03:23, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Shame on you

I'm disgusted that you would encourage an editor to use baseless allegations of socking to influence the outcome of a debate. You should be ashamed of yourself. Tony (talk) 05:04, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I think you're extrapolating my comments. I only stated that there's a chance the IPs could be connected, it's by no means definitive. Adding an SPA template to a new or anonymous user is often performed, even in cases where there isn't any sockpuppetry involved. To quote from the SPA page, "... many single-purpose accounts turn out to be well-intentioned editors with a niche interest, but a significant number appear to edit for the purposes of promotion or showcasing their favored causes, which is not allowed. ... The SPA tag may be used to visually highlight that a participant in a multi-user discussion has made few or no other types of contribution. However a user who edits appropriately and makes good points that align with Wikipedia's communal norms, policies and guidelines should have their comment given full weight regardless of any tag." This doesn't mean that the user's contributions should be discounted, only that additional scrutiny may be required when evaluating the close of the discussion. I only recommended a tag be placed and that an administrator take it into consideration. This does not necessarily equate to striking the comment. It's quite possible that the closing admin will see no concern and treat the comment on equal level as everyone else. Mike V • Talk 05:20, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Mhannigan SPI

Hi, thanks for taking a look at this debate. Since you seem to be experienced in these sort of investigations, do you mind opining on the allegation that this SPI was initiated in bad faith, as alleged by both accused accounts? EvanBlass (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Bump @Mike_V EvanBlass (talk) 22:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Don't worry, I haven't forgot about the case. There are a few things that I'm considering before it's closed. Mike V • Talk 22:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Ah, sorry for the bump. EvanBlass (talk) 00:23, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Mike, can you deal with this case? This user seems didn't stop to create more of his socks and do a personal attack toward other users. ~ Muffin Wizard ^;) 13:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Question about SPI

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if the SPI is going to last much longer. This has been ongoing for more than 11 weeks now, and the last 11 days at SPI have been quite stressful. Can you give me some idea of how long these things usually last, because I was expecting a couple of days, not a couple of weeks. Thanks! Rationalobserver (talk) 15:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I understand that it can be frustrating that the process takes a long time. Unfortunately, this case is more nuanced than most. I hope to close the case soon. Mike V • Talk 19:47, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Well, Dan56 hasn't made any effort in the last several days to add to his accusations, so can I ask what it is that I am waiting for? Rationalobserver (talk) 21:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, thanks Mike. You really did a lot of the work for this election and were on top of everything. Appreciate your expertise.--v/r - TP 17:20, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciated your guidance from your past experience on the commission. Mike V • Talk 19:47, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
