Hey- why do you think that page wipekart is not valid and tagged for deletion?

I can suggest you a bunch of such pages which is very similar to Wipekart, please let me know why those pages are still on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hirajha (talk • contribs) 19:09, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Wipekart is clearly a non-notable company, and companies only qualify for articles on Wikipedia if they satisfy the notability requirements at WP:NCORP. It's entirely possible that there are articles for other non-notable companies that have not been identified as such, but as I'm not familiar with all five million plus articles, I don't know which ones they might be.

User:Shalom haverim2

Sockpuppet of globaly baned user Messina. Look at meta for this user--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 10:28, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see - looks like they're globally locked now. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:53, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Pauline Riolo 1972 Liverpool

Google doesn't support the story. Even if she was murdered, is the crime notable?Xx236 (talk) 13:17, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

I see one match that claims to be an FOI result that includes her, but there's no attribution and I can find nothing else. I'm not sure it's an obvious outright hoax, but I've nominated it for speedy deletion under WP:A7. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:13, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Guess that LTA!

Hi Boing!, I can't for the life of me remember which LTA it is which makes these edits - you wouldn't happen to remember would you? -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 09:43, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

No, I was just scratching my head trying to think too - it's familiar, but I can't place it. Thanks for the revert, btw. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:45, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

No worries :) they have helpfully tagged themselves? Not sure what they're up to -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 09:50, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, what strange (though considerate) behaviour. I suppose I'd better block the account. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:56, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Unblock proposal

Although I am not questioning how you do things, I must ask why that IP (who is really CrazyAces489) you reviewed is able to ask for an unblock? Shouldn't the CrazyAces account ask for an unblock instead? He was blocked for avoiding his original block after all.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I'd simply not really thought through who it was. You're right. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

No problem, no damage has been done yet. I have no doubt however as soon as that IP is unblocked CrazyAces will continue to use it to avoid his block.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:58, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Block

Hey, I was wondering if you knew about this username under Exploding Toenails. They are constantly and consistently vandalizing The Challenge pages to what they have never looked like before. And I was wondering if there was any way of blocking them from editing because they won't stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clippers18 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Just for the record, I am the one reverting the vandalizing efforts of Clippers18, not the other way around. Clippers18 has been repeatedly vandalizing pages for The Challenge (TV series) and using sock-puppets to circumvent blocks and page protections.

Here are two edit comments made by Clippers18: [1] [2]

Here is another edit comment made by User:2600:1008:b15f:b341:7d4f:d6b3:7912:3116: [3]

And another two by User:2600:1008:b10b:eb8d:edae:5918:31bd:8b09: [4] [5]

And another by User:2600:1008:b147:e982:ac:915d:6b52:3ba9: [6]

And another by User:2600:1008:b150:b112:cc68:3064:7a11:c6a2: [7]

And another by User:2600:1008:b116:a43d:6825:1e94:978e:ce05: [8]

And another by User:2600:1008:b124:6298:b458:67cd:26e8:a1a2: [9]

Based on the nature of these users' edit history and the style/grammar/tone of their comments, it is clear that Clippers18 and the other six users are the same person.

In fact, this user has already been identified as a user who has been blocked for six months.

Knowing this user, they will probably attempt to erase this very edit to this talk page.

Sorry folks, I don't have the time to investigate this. Someone should be able to help at WP:ANI if you take it there. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:29, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Boing! said Zebedee: have a gander at the edit history of The Challenge: Rivals II... _Muffled ^Pocketed 09:43, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Not meaning to sound dismissive (though obviously sounding dismissive nonetheless), but I have no time for and no interest in trivial popular TV - I think mindless pop culture is one of the scourges of Wikipedia and would not be unhappy to see the whole of it nuked. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:47, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Me neither. I'm quite interested in thirty reverts in 24 hours though no worries, _Muffled ^Pocketed 09:49, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

OK, I've blocked the two of them for edit warring - if it continues after the 24-hour blocks expire, someone will probably block them for a lot longer. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:50, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Boing! Sez Me Too :) cheers! _Muffled ^Pocketed 09:52, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

I've also given it a 24h protection, as one of them was clearly editing logged out too. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:58, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

this feller? Good move _Muffled ^Pocketed 10:06, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Deleted article proposal

Hello Boing! I want to recreate a page named "ALISIA ENCO" that was deleted by you for Unambiguous advertising or promotion. I've gathered my references and I wish to be sure I'm good to go before I create it. Please let me know the best way to do this. Thanks! Mikael Brook (talk) 14:29, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I suggest the best way to go about it is to use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process, where experienced editors will review your proposed draft for you. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:20, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Would like an RFC closure

Hi Boing!, I'm not sure if you participated in this RFC, but if not, would you be able to take a look and see if it can be closed? It's been in progress for a while now, and we could use the judgment of an uninvolved administrator. Admittedly it has gotten rather heated.--WaltCip (talk) 12:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, a big contentious RFC on a high-profile issue. It's not the kind of thing I do, sorry. I suggest you ask for a volunteer at WP:AN. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) When you've dealt with that RfC, could you make your way to Syria and sort that out...? It'll be a helluva lot easier _Muffled ^Pocketed 12:55, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Email

I've just sent you an email. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:39, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Got it, thanks. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:56, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

... and another one. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:23, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I've got a few emails from both of you. I'm a bit busy now, but I'll reply in the morning. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:39, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get round to it yesterday, but I've replied now. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:44, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Anytime you send me an e-mail, please let me know on my Talk page. I have some automated forwarding set up that for some reason doesn't work with your e-mail, so I don't necessarily find out about it in a timely way. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:04, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

OK, will do. (YGM, btw ;-) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:08, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you can justify using WP:R3 for a redirect that's been around since 2004. Last I checked, that's not recent... -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:56, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I know. I thought "hang on, that's only for recent ones" after I'd deleted it, but it's not possible to edit the log. I really didn't think anyone would complain, but seeing as you have, I have now undeleted it and then deleted again it with better reasons. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:13, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Oldtime admins

[10]. And I resent it that you got there with the unblock before I did! Thinking of seeking an emergency pocketing! Bishonen | talk 09:00, 14 July 2016 (UTC).

For once, I was awake and alert at the right time! I was coming to the sad conclusion that an ArbCom report is indeed needed, and I think I'd support an emergency pocketing unless we get a satisfactory response pretty quickly. (I've seen the same kind of page ownership issues with old-timers too.) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:05, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

No, no. Yes, it may come to ArbCom if the user doesn't show comprehension of the problem, but I meant an emergency pocketing of you. Bishzilla doesn't like it when hysterically alert people frustrate little 'shonen and steal her thunder. Bishonen | talk 09:17, 14 July 2016 (UTC).

Ah, me, LOL! Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:24, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

It's okay, there's plenty of room in here ;) _Muffled ^Pocketed 09:31, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Unblock request said "unblocked" but was denied anyway.

You recently left this on my talk page:

"I think 10 years is more than enough time here, so I have unblocked. Welcome back." Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:57, 14 July 2016 (UTC)}}

Was this a mistake? You said you have unblocked, but denied my request. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceTut (talk • contribs) 15:14, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Oops, sorry, I pasted in the wrong template, but I've fixed it now - I did actually unblock your account. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:21, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks again! PrinceTut (talk) 15:31, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

No

No, I am not interested in your advice as your ability to even properly interpret the factual circumstances of a situation are prima facie defective (along with most everyone else in that thread)...so your block was completely inappropriate and your revocation of talk page access doubly so. This is not surprising, however, as nearly every admin I've encountered here has objectively displayed an alarming degree of incompetence and poor reasoning skills...But people are trying to do something about this for the betterment of Wikipedia (and hopefully will)..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales#A_few_problems_with_Wikipedia68.48.241.158 (talk) 18:59, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
