Reza Pahlavi

I am Akhamenehpour and I would appreciate help and guidance regarding changes I have made to the page on Reza Pahlavi. I admire him greatly and have added his official portrait to his page in addition to fixing some infobox.

Wheel, wheel

At Sean Hannity, the history is that Hannity supporters have no quality sources to cite that reviews his books favorably because they do not exist. So they dislike that and want to remove the negative reviews. Sorry, but a book that only receives negative reviews is just that. They then gripe to a sysop, who drives by and locks the page. Hannity supporters then have a month to find the positive reviews, and discover they don't exist. Then those people go on to other things, a period goes by, and new Hannity supporters come along, and then the same thing starts all over again. That's just stupid and you played right into it. Ewenss (talk) 19:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, it was not drive-by protection - [[::User:PTR|PTR]] ([[::User talk:PTR|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/PTR|contribs]]), another user involved in the dispute who seems to be acting quite reasonably to me, requested it at WP:RFPP. Please discuss it on the talk page and come up with a resolution, you can start dispute resolution procedures if necessary. Edit warring, as was happening, is not the answer. Looking at the edit history, please also be mindful of WP:3RR, note that users can still be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate this policy. WP:ATWV also comes to mind. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was drive by precisely, and your reply, which ignores everything I said, shows so. You were unaware of the history of the article and took no time to seriously research the content. Ewenss (talk) 23:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I spent quite a lot of time researching before protecting the page, actually. I did not ignore your reply, I have just assessed that your reasoning does not justify edit warring as far as I, and policy, is concerned. I assume you are trying to convince me to unprotect the page, well gain a consensus on the content of the page, pursue dispute resolution, and/or show that edit warring will not re-start the moment I unprotect the page - then I will seriously consider it. Currently none of that is happening, though I hope a start can be made with the mention of children in the article. Camaron | Chris (talk) 18:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Winshill

Hiya, I've logged a checkuser request here. Cheers, DWaterson (talk) 20:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, this user clearly has loads of sleeper accounts and is not going to stop. I am trying semi-protection of the page for now as I cannot keep up defence of the article with this level of disruption. It may have to be upgraded to full. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
With regret, I have now had to completely lock down the article - it is the only way currently to stop the disruption, the checkuser should help. Camaron | Chris (talk) 21:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I requested the page be unprotected and now somebody constantly ruins it. I live in Winshill, and I've been updating it with standard facts in my own words, using my own local photographs. I'm sick and bloody tired of it being constantly locked. Please advise on what you plan to do, because quite frankly I don't believe there's no way to block out all revisions bar those of trusted individuals.--mikejamestaylor (talk) 13:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not even as if the place should spark that much interest!--mikejamestaylor (talk) 13:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry you are annoyed at the page protection, I did try and avoid it but unfortunately it was necessary. There is one very determined person out there which is trying at all costs to insert copyright violations into the article. S/he is doing this by using loads of sleeper user accounts and using them one by one to try and insert the copyvio into the article. I have tried to block the individual accounts but this user has just created so many for disruption that I was fighting a losing battle with that method. That leaves me with the option of protecting the article either as semi-protection or full-protection. Semi-protection does not work as it only blocks out IPs and new user accounts - the person has got around this by creating loads of sleeper accounts and waiting until they are old enough to get around the semi-protection. Full protection blocks out all non-admin users and works, but unfortunately at a heavy price.
The best way to stop this user would be to block the IPs his/her is using to cause the disruption, unfortunately only a few people with the Checkuser privilege can find out the IPs of registered users for privacy, so this is not possible until a request (as linked above) is fulfilled which should hopefully occur shortly. Once this is done the page can be unprotected again. In the meantime you might want to copy the content of the page over to a place in your user space like User:Mikejamestaylor/Sandbox and draft the changes you want to make there so they can be later implemented, and/or I can update the page for you if you request it here.

Request removal of names of Sean Hannity's children from the artilce

I do understand the article is protected, but could you at least removed the names of children who are under the age of 18. Please advise, while I understand their names are published, they are themselves not notable, and for privacy reasons, I feel their names should be removed. Let me know your thoughts. thanks, It is me i think (talk) 22:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have to say this is a difficult one. Once articles are fully protected they should not be edited by administrators except to remove obviously inappropriate content such as vandalism, severe WP:BLP violations, and copyright violations, per WP:PREFER. This does relate to BLP with Wikipedia:Biographies of living_persons#Privacy of names, however is not a blatant violation and its removal is part of the content dispute. Since your discussion on this on the talk page does not seem to be going anywhere, maybe you can try out Wikipedia:Third opinion. Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, you seem to have already got a third opinion which was for the removal, and Ewenss does not seem to be objecting to the removal either now given talk page comments, so I will take it out. Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking even more, I will bring it up again on the talk page before doing it. Camaron | Chris (talk) 18:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oy vey. >.<

Not pointing at you, but there's been a horrible mistake in the redirect of the Mayberry Middle School page. It's not in Wichita Falls, Texas....it's in Wichita, Kansas! It shouldn't have been redirected to the Wichita Falls, Texas district article. Just wanted to point it out!

-L337p4wn (talk) 22:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article actually had incorrect information in it stating it was part of Wichita Falls Independent School District - no one corrected this mistake resulting in confusion among AFD participants. I unfortunately did not spot this mistake either and merged it into the pointed out school district article thinking it was the most appropriate, and nobody immediately post-AFD spotted it either. Somebody had already removed the content of the merge from the district article after correctly realising the school did not exist there, resulting in a broken merger. I have now corrected everything so it should all be correct. Thank you for pointing it out. Camaron | Chris (talk) 09:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, thank you! Now the article is in the right place. ^.^

The warning made me go huh? I know the address is Earthlink and I know how to report abuse too Earthlink. What I do not know is the meaning of a cryptic warning like that.65.87.184.50 (talk) 15:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tss8071 ipsock

Excellent block on that IP, definitely looks to be the same user. Dreadstar † 22:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have now semi-protected the talk page as well, as this user has refused directly to use it for productive purposes and is only using it for incivility and offensive remarks - which now really justifies a block on it's own regardless of the sock puppetry case, s/he has been given enough chances. What it ultimately comes down to, I certainley see no benifit to Wikipedia on unblocking this IP, it does not appear to be shared, and has no history of making direct constructive contributions to the encyclopedia. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ESC 2008 anon etc

Hey Camaron, I blocked the IP for 55 hours with a warning. I'll keep my eyes peeled, let me know if I miss something. You're right to step away from conflicts in which you're personally involved. Good luck with your exams, I think I remember when I was going through the same thing... take it easy if you can! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help and also for the good luck for the exams, I might well need it! I will try not to over do it though. See you around. Camaron | Chris (talk) 18:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism report

Hello, do you believe the placement of a vandalism report by User:Appletrees was disruptive? I do, but I didn't see any repercussions against this editor, who is habitually incivil and an inveterate blanker of others' text. Badagnani (talk) 19:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have left a note with Appletrees stating I have declined his report and giving suggestions. I don't know the details of this dispute, but I would recommend you just disengage from each other for a while. Although it is not advisable, users are allowed to remove comments from their own talk pages. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rfb participation thanks

Hello, Chris.

I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your both your early and strong support -- Avi (talk) 16:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replied on your talk page. Camaron | Chris (talk) 16:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some assistance, please

User:Appletrees is persistently accusing me of "making personal attacks" just as he did against User:Badagnani, but now he's claiming that my personal page is "directed at him." He tells me that his "Watchlist" is clearly proof that I am editing articles "directed at him," but I can state categorically that I have never read or seen his Watchlist--I simply don't care. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated. -WikiSkeptic (talk) 17:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replied on your talk page as you have been blocked. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for looking into the case. I did not expect that he used your previous advice to me for dragging me into his own case. Well, I admit that User:Badagnani and I have some issues on Korean cuisine articles due to matters revolving original research/unreliable sources/sources written in Korean. But we used to be good participants to each other unlike the horrendous racial/personal attack case. If things would go heated up between Badagnani and me, I would remain civil as possible. I appreciate your caring. Regards --Appletrees (talk) 21:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome - I am glad I have been of help. Remaining civil will get you far, so I am glad you are going to keep to this approach. Happy editing. Camaron | Chris (talk) 21:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the links. Thank you for being so supportive. It's nice to feel welcome.

WP:HAU has a new format

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have already added myself to the StatusBot's category and have checked and confirmed the ticks for my account. Thanks for letting me know. Camaron | Chris (talk) 18:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Solar energy

Hello. I noticed you reduced the protection time on the Solar energy page. Check out the comments by the IP who requested the reduction on the Solar energy talk page. The page was protected in part because the IP is forking a large chunk of the page. I am the principle author of the page and I would like to see it stay together. I've asked for a peer review from the Energy group and the general Wiki community. The suggestions have been helpful and after they are incorporated I'll hopefully get the A-Team or the League to copy edit. I hope you consider raising the protection time to a month. This should give the page enough stability to get through the PR and onto a group copy edit. Thank you. Mrshaba (talk) 04:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If I did that it would be a violation of protection policy - semi-protection can generally only be used on articles to keep out vandals and disruptive editors when blocking is not a feasible option. It must not be used just to keep out unregistered users, and definitely not to resolve content disputes, which this appears to be. This user seems to me to be a knowledgeable good faith contributor, try and settle this with the user on the talk page, maybe requesting a third opinion would be a good idea here. If edit warring gets out of control the article may be protected, but it will be full protection to give fairness to all those in the dispute. Camaron | Chris (talk) 09:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's 18:50 and the page is still protected. Can you fix it so that it is unprotected? Thanks. 199.125.109.43 (talk) 18:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind. It's not protected. It must have been a caching issue - it said view source but when I clicked on it the edit screen came up. 199.125.109.43 (talk) 19:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Recent Rfa

I would just like to say thanks for the neutral vote in my recent RFA. I will still say thanks as from your comments and the other users comments that opposed me and gave me a neutral vote have made me make a todo list for before my next RFA. I hope I will have resolved all of the issues before then and I hope that you would be able to support me in the future. If you would like to reply to this message or have any more suggestions for me then please message me on my talk page as I will not be checking back here.
