Is Backmaun back, mon?
Dear Thatcher, I am concerned that the sockpuppeteer who went as User:RasputinJSvengali, User:BackMaun, and User:Alien666 (who I suspected might be connected with User:Mattisse) may be back, and I'm contacting you since you were the one who indefinitely blocked them[1]. I have noticed similar activity on some of the same articles once edited/vandalized by them. Examples include the introduction, twice, of “Satanists” in the section of Starwood Festival that pertains to attendees by User:67.177.27.74[2]. This user edits articles once heavily edited by User:Hanuman Das and his socks like User:Alabaster Crow, User:Tunnels of Set and User:Khabs such as Illuminates of Thanateros, and Chaos Magick (also edited by BackMaun, RasputinJSvelgali and Mattisse).
Also, please note the unexplained deletion of a paragraph of Allen H. Greenfield by User:24.119.74.180[3]. This user has only edited two articles, both created by User:999 and related to the O.T.O., and one had both Alien666 and BackMaun revert-warring with Khabs, Jefferson Anderson, and Frater Xyzzy, the other edited by Alabaster Crow.
I feel a real “here we go again” vibe here. I haven’t noticed any editor who seems to be the returning Ekajati/Hanuman Das/Frater Xyzzy/Khabs/999/Alabaster Crow/Tunnels of Set so far, but I do wonder whether there’s a connection between User: 67.177.27.74 & User: 24.119.74.180 and our old friends BackMaun/Alien666/RasputinJSvelgali. Could you take a look at this please? Rosencomet (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- I don't have checkuser any more. Sorry. Thatcher 23:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Didn't mean to post that unsigned. I'll ask Revolving Bugbear if he can help.Rosencomet (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Obama edit
Hi Thatcher - while not necessarily opposed to including something in the text, when things settle down I'd like to see some discussion on the specific wording that you added, because I think there is an implication, perhaps unintentional, that Obama was aware of the controversial comments for two decades but only resigned when they became public - and he has specifically denied that. Tvoz/talk 05:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- The wording need to convey that the comments became the subject of controversy; I was trying to be compact and to avoid awkward phrasing. Thatcher 14:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I see that - and didn't mean to imply ill motives on your part - but I do think the wording now can be misinterpreted, so I think a discussion is in order at some point when the crowd thins. Tvoz/talk 16:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
User box vandalism
Is the user box on your user page okay? I mean, should it read, "fucking retard"? Yesitsnot (talk) 18:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, someone called me a civility bigot and a fucking retard and I decided to celebrate it. Unfortunately the diff has been deleted so it doesn't make sense any more, and since the user has been banned I suppose the box is no longer relevant, although I do like the Puritan.

Old IPBE
Do you remember what block was causing [4]? Can it be removed yet? MBisanz talk 08:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
My Sock-puppets
Thatcher, I am growing more and more tired by the growing number of *my* sockpuppets. They just keep going on and on and on without any seeming end.
This is one of the earliest I have caught. Note the article and the "-romanicus" ending.
I just simply cannot stand this anymore, every time I look over at the Wikipedia. Isn't there anything that can be done at all? --09:08, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
