My user and talk pages attract a lot of vandals - it kinda goes with the job. If you have reverted vandalism here, please understand that while I really appreciate you doing this, I'll probably not be able to reply to you for a whole bunch of reasons. But I do appreciate it!

Guus Hiddink

I need the article on Guus Hiddink reverted because the last version of the article is from a sock. The page is currently under a full protection and I'm unable to do this. Thanks. Kingjeff 04:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. The editor has been confirmed as a sock and is indef'd. However, can you go to the talk page and put up an {{editprotected}} request, so the request is visible to the community? I've no problems doing it but would like it to be visible. Thanks - Alison ☺ 04:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've made it visible. Kingjeff 05:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - Alison ☺ 17:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Kingjeff 17:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you use checkuser? User:Snoimaert reverted your edit I asked you to do on the Guus Hiddink article. I suspect he's the same sock that you reverted on that article. Kingjeff 21:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alison...do you have a version on the FIC that you prefer? The second one was lightened a bit, but I think it is kind of a toss up.--MONGO 06:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey - I was a recent changes patroller for long enough (still am!) - I can remember the frustration of waiting for an AIV request to be handled. However, being on the other side of the fence now, I can see all the hassle and hard work. It's not always easy being an admin & you have to remember that we stress out sometimes. Sorry you're having a bad one, though. TOC is deliberately teensy, by the way. Page was getting too cluttery! - Alison ☺ 06:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely Done

Just wanted to congratulate you on your WP:AIV work, specifically on New Rochelle High School. My hasty reversion completely missed how damaged the page was, but you took the time to find a good copy, semi-protect the page and ban the vandals primarily responsible. Nicely done!

Personal Attack, silly vandalism

Hi Alison,

User Gerash77 inserted stupid statment here saying that the Gulf is also called "The American Gulf" in Arabic. I reverted his nonsense difined as Silly Vandalism and warned him in his Talk Page not to do so as he is established user in WP and supposed to know this before inserting jokes in articles.

  • Firstly, and just for the sake of "revenge", he tag my Talk Page with meaningless rubbish [1] without pointing why it has been used for, which is clear Personal Attack and damaging in my Talk Page Wikipedia:No talk page spamming.
  • Then, he deleted the Warning from his Talk Page [2] that is clear vandalism according to Wikipedia:Removing warnings.

So, I would like to to take an action in:

  1. Removing the trash he filled my Talk Page with
  2. Punish him of doing so
  3. Punish him of removing a legal warning of vandalism according to WP rules, for special the Silly Vandalism.

Kind regards, Ralhazzaa 13:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Ralhazzaa. I'm not about to 'punish' the above editor, for a number of reasons. Firstly, I note that you've been in gross violation of the three-revert rule on the article in question, as well as not assuming good faith about your fellow editors. Gerash was well within his rights to warn you about such matters. I disagree that his warning was a 'personal attack' and cannot view it as being such. Furthermore, removing your comment from his talk page, annoying though it may be, is not 'vandalism'. Finally, as an admin, it is not my role to 'punish' other editors & this is something I feel rather strongly about. - Alison ☺ 10:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Well... if u seriously consider inserting silly words in the lead in such a disputed article as "also called in Arabic as the American Gulf" for describing the Arabian/Persian Gulf as nothing serious or not a silly vandalisim, then we have a problem either with u here! What will be your reaction if someone wrote in the intro of the UK article: "also known as the tail of USA" or "Khomaini is also called as the Great Antichrist in Farsi" or such silly & stupid word about Ireland? U may know that the article is higly disputed and that fellow had contributed in it before, so he know what is the meaning of such a silly addition. Was my warning illegal? I have learned this from reading the rules, and apply it on established user of opposing POV who want to dishonor other POV members.

Regarding the so-called 3RR, why not a prestigeous admin had a look when a sockpuppet of a user was deleting the intro and doing simple vandalisim (it was not my words, another neutral editor -could be British- said so). That IP sockpuppet of Pejman.Azadi deleted the intro and all its resourced info more than 5 times, that make me revert it to its previous state, with resources. The last time was that silly vandalisim (see difinition) done by Gerash77.

I protected the article (semi-protection) but that IP user looks already registered with his IP name and could reverting it. Could u please tell me what is the difference between 3RR and protecting against anonymous deletion by IP users?

Please note that my edits never deleted a single word from the article. All what I did was inserting high-level references (as required & encouraged in WP). I don't think citing resources talking about Arabic name of something needs discussion and approval of Iranians or others!! strange, hah? I also inserted historical names of that sea as one Iranian user want to do so in the intro. But it looks he/they want to manipulate the intro and put only one name for the sake of political reasons. Why they want to reomve names have been used for ~100-400 years?

This is my comment, just to clairfy the point, and to discourage you of adopting, protecting and endorsing silly vandalisim by those who want to make WP as place for hateness. Why don't u lead them to the sandbox instead of blessing? Ralhazzaa 13:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Come on, Sir, and watch what is your negative neutrality towards that user, Gersh77, has resulted! [3]
Sir, you may be responsible of "ignoring" to take an action toward that fellow who is filling my own personal Talk Page with his noxious edits. Please notice that he is using uncivil language: "why are you trying to bring your "mummy" into discussion". Ralhazzaa 15:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
*sigh* - firstly, I'm not a "sir". Secondly, there are already three other admins on your talk page trying to work with you to impress what exactly it is you are doing wrong here. I strongly recommend you listen to what they're trying to tell you rather than focussing on the "vandalism" of their warning messages. If other editors are inserting nonsense into the article, as above, warn them and ultimately, report them to WP:AIV. Regardless of what's going on here, I am not "endorsing"anything here, silly vandalism or otherwise - Alison ☺ 17:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And one other thing; spamming admins' talk pages & 'shopping' for the response you desire will not help matters - Alison ☺ 17:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alison, sorry for the previous comment. It was due to the 2nd time throwing of tags of unjustified warning by that fellow in my page (just for personal revenge, while he is asking me to assume good faith!). I felt that he did so as he didn't receive the correct directing from u as the admin who protected the page. Anyway, what u called canvassing was also becuase u didn't show any reaction, so I asked other admins to stop him insulting me in my talk page. Thanks anyway.

Rename Article

Could you rename the article Gcse astronomy to GCSE Astronomy please. Thank You. A quick question, can normal users rename or delete an article? Wiki.user 19:18, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Already done by yourself. I've deleted the original name as it's now a redundant redir. Normal users can rename/move articles but cannot delete. The thing to do is put a {{db}} tag on the top of it and state your rationale. An admin will then come along and delete it for you - Alison ☺ 01:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm tempted to invoke WP:IAR on this one because the article does have some value and I just don't believe that keeping it will make much of a difference in terms of sending the right message. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 13:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jonovanic

Can You please tell me how to access the Michael Jovanovic article trhat was recently deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Topahend (talk • contribs)

  • I don't think I want to do that. Apart from the fact that you recreated the article many times and it's been speedy-deleted each time, it's just a nonsense article. It's not even funny in the WP:BJAODN sense and I can't see any good coming from either restoring it or your accessing it, give that you've already been indulging in vandalism and creating nonsense articles. You're one step away from being blocked from editing - Alison ☺ 02:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lightvessels in Ireland

The memory is not so bad because I remembered you are a member of the Irish Maritime WikiProject, so you might have some non-admin interest in this topic. After I disagreed with Frelke's merge tags on Lightvessels in Ireland and Lighthouses in Ireland there has been no response, by him or anyone else, for two months, so I removed the tags and added info on the lightvessels as mentioned in my oppose justification. However, what else do you think we can add to improve the article without violating copyright of the CII from this webpage? I also need to get some info on the last lightvessel that I believe was located at "South Rock" but was supposed to be withdrawn this year. Any pointers? Cheers & thanks. ww2censor 03:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there. I'll try to take a look at it during the week. Hopefully, I'll get a bit on non-admin work done & maybe re-kickstart WP:IMAR again. BTW - I'll be back in Ireland in less than 4 weeks & hope to get some good maritime pics during that time - Alison ☺ 18:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. If I knew more I would get involved in the WP:IMAR but already have 2 projects I am involved in. I'll be back in Ireland, for good or just visiting? Can I come? I was there for 2 days in March and go a few good Martello tower photos that I have still to put up. I could do with more if you happen to see any. Where are you going to? ww2censor 03:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal

Alison, while doing research for a project, I noticed a vandal. He is IP address 165.138.63.100. He has written nonsense such as "They are all gays and like little boys like Michael Jackson!" and "YOu All SUck." I suggest you look at his history and block him if it is appropriate. I know you will handle it responsibly. AlexHillan 04:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Alex. This editor hasn't edited, let alone vandalised, in weeks. I think it's okay to just warn them now & see if they do it again. Thanks for the note! - Alison ☺ 18:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Continous harrasment

Hello Alison, Despite you told Gerash77 to stop his harrasment and personal attack in my page, but he still posting harassing and trolling comments in my personal talk page [4], even after you told him to stop it [5] throwing away all what have been told about civility and etiquette in Wikipedia. I don't want him to touch my personal talk page in such illegal and harrasing way, and to stop his open & continous personal attack. Ralhazzaa 16:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've left a message for Gerash77. I don't know what's going on between you two, but both of you need to call the matter closed and step away from each other for a while. I've said similar to the other editor. Your use of the words "illegal" isn't helping your case, unfortunately, as Gerash77 has chosen to interpret that as a possible legal threat which will, unfortunately, get your account indefinitely blocked if you persist. - Alison ☺ 18:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Told You

I hate to point out and you can check the page history if you like but someone from that ip address has vandalised the wymondham college article again for the too many times to mention time. I hope now that you will see why we need this article at least semi protected.Wiki.user 18:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • So I notice. And my point still stands; there is simply not enough activity to warrant protection of the page. Feel free to re-apply on WP:RPP and I'll see another admin deals with it instead of me, but one anon editor in 4 days does not warrant action. I notice that the anon has not been warned since last month. I've given them their only warning for vandalism. If they do it again, report them either to WP:AIV or to me here and they will be blocked - Alison ☺ 18:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fark.com protection

Hi Alison,

if I get a minute, could you please review the full protection on Fark.com?

From my point of view, the entire edit war pretty much happened in a pop-up on my watchlist and I'll happily admit that I haven't been following the off-wiki discussion at all. But, frankly, it looks to me like we've passed the point of diminishing returns and since there doesn't appear to be much going on in terms of discussion, keeping the page protection in place might do more harm than good.

Considering the history, semi-protection probably isn't a good idea in this case. Hence, I'd propose issuing another stern warning on the talk page, knocking on wood and unprotecting the article. FWIW (I'm a bit busy right now), I'll try to keep an eye on the article and possible 3RR violations, should you decide that unprotecting it is the way to go.

Thanks & cheers. :) Seed 2.0 23:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Immediate blocking

May I just point out that not everyone is fully aware of the entire expected wikipedia etiquette, and immediately blocking someone who trangresses, unknowingly, without first giving them a detailed warning, is entirely unfair, and also somewhat immature? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.245.136.27 (talk • contribs)

  • May I just point out that calling someone a "fucking cunt" and a "stupid fucking prick" is also somewhat immature and, depending on the circumstances, will sometimes get you a short block. Doing it in RL to someone will sometimes get you a punch on the nose. I'd have thought these things would be self-evident. Thanks - Alison ☺ 14:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Urgent message

Can you please revert This article back to what it was before the templates were added, the seeding has gone, now it is very empty, thankyou comment made by Charlie 16:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there. I'm not quite sure what you want me to do here, as I'm not familiar with the subject matter. However, you should be able to rollback to the revision you want yourself by clicking on the 'history' tab and editing the revision you desire. Let me know what I can do to help - Alison ☺ 18:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gazzo Macee article

I noticed there wasn't this article so when I started to create it I noticed you had deleted a previous one? Any reason why that means I shouldn't recreate it or was it just deleted because it was a really small stub? Can't really tell what the original page says and unless you have the reason saved in a log somewhere, not sure if i should create the article or not. Thanks! Deflagro 19:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there and thanks for asking :) It was deleted 6 weeks back as it was considered a non-notable biographical stub article. By all means, create the article but you'll need to establish notability and flesh it out a lot. I've undeleted it here, so you can work on it yourself from what was there before :) Let me know if you need any help - Alison ☺ 19:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point

Well it was, but as I explained on his talk page his comment was made at 21:16, the same time as my edit so I didn't remove his intentionally. I'm just pissed off with people that can't see bigger pictures and are intent on wasting two days arguing over the spelling of someone's name. One Night In Hackney303 21:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • You'll be hearing from his solicitor! Now I'm sure that on this occasion this didn't happen (perish the thought!) but most articles in Who's Who or Debrett's Peerage tend to be total hagiographies written by the subject bereft of any negative information whatsoever. I stress again, I'm sure his isn't of course.... One Night In Hackney303 22:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tsk, tsk. How dare you suggest such a thing, Hackney!! 8am to Jimbo's office for your punishment, to be personally delivered by the plaintiff. I'm sure the OTRS guys are running around in a blind panic as we speak - Alison ☺ 22:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is being vandalized again by someone you previously blocked. 65.13.58.108 / 66.184.162.219 he has also been contacting me on my talk page. Is there anything that can be done? thanks.Callelinea 22:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It looks like a content dispute, right now. However, the messages on your talk page aren't helping. If they keep at it, please let me know and I'll fully-protect the article to get them to the talks table. I know you've asked about this before but let's give it one more shot - Alison ☺ 22:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Smeggypants

Hi, though I'm in an edit war with this user, can you explain this username block? I may be missing an allusion here. I did a google search, though I wasn't a bit surprised to find this user on other forums, with the title "banned user" (he may have added it in jest though), but also to find out he's been in conflicts before - he clearly has a different opinion than I on matters (even in those forums), but it seems he's editting in good faith.

  • You weren't banned, but you were blocked from editing for a while. Something to do with engaging in vandalism with your pal User:Sgt kadm. Apparently, you both have an interest in homosexuality, judging from your edits. That's all very nice but it hardly belongs in the shark article, now does it? Either way, you now get a second chance at editing :) - Alison ☺ 04:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up

All the proxies from Monday's JB-fest are either free to edit (block expired), or soon will be. I've left a nudge on a CU's page, but forewarned is forearmed, right? :) SirFozzie 18:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3rr warning

I purposely stopped reverting in spite of revert warring by Komdori and Lactose on that article. I have also participate in the talk page and am continuing to do so. However Komdori and Lactose have followed my edit and instigated revert wars as retaliation for our disagreements from a different article. They have partnered up and have been engaging in gamesmanship in the talk page instead of discussing the substantive topic of the article such as setting up a straw poll, claiming they have majority, etc.. There was a discussion going on but they've stopped responding and participating in the talk page and have started to revert again. Can you let me know how you became involved in this? Thanks.melonbarmonster 19:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mindless vandal (not you)

Allie, thank you once again. I missed that one until after you had removed it. Perhaps we could have an annual compertition - the admin with most vandalisms over the year gets a prize?--Anthony.bradbury 21:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help in Reporting an Editor

Greetings Alison.

I'm not sure exactly how to go about this but I would like to report an editor for unreasonable edit warring.

The editor in question is The Evil SpartanOver the last few weeks I have been spending a lot of time in good faith cleaning up the article Christianity_by_country

The The Evil Spartan was trying to include figures in the totals for the table that were not the summation of the table. I asked him if he could not do this but he continued to revert. I have taken him/her under good faith up until now. Tonight I spent a good few hours checking all the maths for the table and even found proper sources for most of the figures listed. I updated the page. Then another user User:Yom did some edits and I Improved Yom 's edits futher. I even, out of curtesy, informed The Evil Spartan of my work. I had even included some sources from the CIA factbook which was Evil Spartans wish.

Then to my horror I found The evil Spartan had stomped in and reverted not only all my hard wrork but that of the user Yom as well.

Sorry to burdon you with this, but I really feel this editor's approach with this page is unnacceptable. Can you please advise me how to report this editor properly. If this means contacting an adminstrator then please consider him reprted. Thankyou :) Smeggypants 23:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, which I told you was a mistake, my last reversion: [8] (not that you seem to care). I'll even tell you to report me: WP:ANI. And they will immediately tell you what this is: a content dispute, and they'll do nothing about it. The Evil Spartan 23:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and BTW, you were told to stop editing by the person who unblocked you until you could get another username, which you have completely ignored. The Evil Spartan 23:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Unfortunately, you've been abusing your unblock. I've re-blocked your account. You know what you need to do now as I've left a message on your talk page. When you get back, we'll deal with the above issue - Alison ☺ 00:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Sorry there Alison, I failed to see that I couldn't continue editing under the same name. I can see that message from Steve now on my page. I didn't "completely ignore" any requests as accused by the tone of Evil Spartan. As said I m happy not to edit under the name of smeggypants anymore. today was an oversight. Sorry again. :) 90.242.39.46 00:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem at all. Just keep editing under you IP address, for the moment, or create a new account. Your username is the only thing that's blocked here, not you personally - Alison ☺ 01:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What edits? 02:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alison I was told to contact you by Miranda. She is helping me with a criticism I am writing up for the fark.com entry. I expect it will be vandalized quite quickly. I think she was looking out for me. I have no idea what I am doing but it is good to know there are people who want to stick up for factual content even though it might annoy some people! Any criticisms you have to offer would be most appreciated! Rhonda Faethe 02:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
