Data

Ah, I guess that I am a bit too much of a latinist then :-) I was under the assumption that only plural was right. Thanks for notifying me. --WS (talk) 16:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Long time no see!

Thanks ... but I'm not a "guy" :) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:44, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks,

for doing what I shoulda had the guts to do. Dlohcierekim 18:48, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting

Hi. I had to talk to a checkuser and you were the 'chosen one' as you are at the top of the list. I'm not sure about that and not feel safe to open a request. I think that would be correct to report this user. The account have only one edit ('till now) which is very uncommon. Watching the history page, there's seems to have a pattern with an old sock involved. Concerning that the userpage vandalized is related to an user that is absent for three years, it doesn't look like an usual vandalism. You probably don't have the logs of this 'old account', since the edits were made in 2007, but after seing this, it appeared to be reasonable just report it to you and see what think about that. Thanks.--TeleS (T PT @ C G) 07:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jeffpw and Isaac

I don't understand why you deleted User:Jeffpw and Isaac. Are we not keeping track of sockpuppets that there are categories for? I wouldn't have known who the sockmaster was if the other socks didn't have this category on their User pages. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 04:35, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to start with, the edits made by that account bear no relationship to the edits made by the account you tagged it with. Further, this particular account was created specifically to reflect poorly on the memory of two deceased Wikipedians, and the addition of the tag only continued the insult. Risker (talk) 04:38, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please see User:JeffpwIsaac. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 04:40, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, see all of the User pages listed at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of JIM ME BOY. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 04:42, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And they all seem to have a fascination with Anderson Cooper, as well as their vile edits about Jeffpw. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 04:43, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What Risker said. Furthermore, I don't want to increase the chances of it appearing in search engines, etc. In short; DNFT - sometimes cataloging these things doesn't matter in the overall scheme of things - Alison ❤ 04:51, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Make a wish

Hope you enjoy your cake - now you can have your wiki and eat it too! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 04:16, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nuts

Allie, you have a lovely boob and a nice fáinne Chladaigh with the red heart, I must say. Wonderful, although you Californians are mostly nuts. Wacko. ♭ Looney-tunes ♫. I mean that in a nice way, I like Jerry Brown always have. Jello Biafra is another, uh, exciting speaker but he like you is not native. Still, yer kulture kinda kooky sometimes. Anyway... Nipple's next? Regarding the self-photos, love to see it, not offended in the least. NO real reason to be here, just lurk in from time to time as a sort of Zen zojourn. We're all in this together. Maybe I can persuade you to unilaterally rename the (fill in the controversial and unjustly bifurcated naming of the geography of a certain North Atlantic isle) article and end world hunger? No, no chance? Ah, well, remember the fun times, and if you were more obscure like me, then maybe you wouldn't feel the need to flip off your public. Feel free to smile at any point here... gotta go though, thanks and ciao, with respec' for an internet maven, – Sswonk (talk)

The finger?

Ahh come on Alison, that doesn't strike me as the real you. You're too sexy for that kinda image. GoodDay (talk) 14:26, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Going by the image (and I hope this isn't too personal a question), do you like wearing belly button showing tops? GoodDay (talk) 14:37, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, you don't get the message, actually. I've been busy :) Point is this; I'm just me. I'm not sexy, I'm not good and I'm not obliged in any way to present in any way for anybody. Sometimes I just feel like flipping off the world in general (or even Wikipedia in specific). Such is the way I am. And yes, the question isn't appropriate. I wear what I like - Alison ❤ 00:45, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okie Dokie, though I must disagree with point #2 ('cuz you're sexy) & forgive me, as I'm one of those navel fetish guys. PS: I had feared that I had offended you. GoodDay (talk) 13:26, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Block my IP

Alison, can you re-block my IP? We had a router change, causing for our IP to change. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 17:35, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Encyclopedia Dramatica

Re [1] The main reason for removal was because it was a screed with little relationship to article improvement. There are also WP:NPA issues, but a more coherent look at the First Amendment issues involved here would have been helpful.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 19:27, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Calpernia Addams

Hi, Alison, can I ask you why you changed my semi-protection of this article to pending changes? Given the scope of the problem- and it was extensive- I don't think anything lower than the semi will keep the BLP mess out of the history. Courcelles 01:28, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think we clashed on the prot, or I missed it as I was responding to an Oversight/OTRS request. Feel free to set back the way it was, if you like. Sorry about that - Alison ❤ 01:33, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I had protected it last week, but, yeah, easy enough to miss. Actually, I sort of misread the log, you added level one pending on top of semi-protection; as this changes nothing but makes the article slower to use, I will remove the pending changes from the article. Actually, if I thought it had any chance of going, I'd be sending it back to AFD, it was such a mess. Courcelles 01:39, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Help moving page

Can you please move Talk:Cyrus cylinder/Archive 1 on top of Talk:Cyrus Cylinder/Archive 1. Thanks. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 20:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ce(ph)alexin

Hey there :) Thank you so much for weighing in. I could certainly use your voice of reason here. Have a look at the FDA website—the Official™ US spelling is indeed "ph", not "f". I'd hate to see this end up on WP:LAME, so I'll stick to the Talk page for now, but it is extremely frustrating to see not one but three reliable book sources completely ignored because "a Google search agreed with me"...

(By the way, I can send you copies of the relevant Martindale and BNF pages if you'd like to check. Fancy mediating an accuracy dispute? :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:14, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you, very much, for your kind words at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Most Hated Family in America about my work on the article. Much appreciated. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:26, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Metamagical Themas

Hi Alison, I'm a little confused regarding your revert of an edit on Metamagical Themas - your edit summary says anon 76.202.117.22 is a banned editor, but this doesn't seem to be the case, and the anon's edit to the article seems perfectly fine - the addition of a link to a Google books copy of the article's subject. --Kaini (talk) 22:31, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to re-add it, if you like, but that editor - once described by Jimmy as "extremely unwelcome", has no right to edit here - Alison ❤ 22:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I just don't see that - contribs. All those edits look fine to me. A case of mistaken identity? --Kaini (talk) 23:48, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have access to information that you do not. This is not a case of mistaken identity - Alison ❤ 00:13, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alison

Looks like you got another friend. Thought you should know. Cheers :) Tommy! 01:00, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okie doke. Love the userpage by the way! Tommy! 01:04, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Heh - thanks. This is him again, too. BTW - I can't even read what that guy is trying to say. Seriously - I've no idea - Alison ❤ 01:07, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
They're so cute, just learning big words like "psychologist." Tommy! 01:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

217.218.250.202

Hi, I noticed you blocked 217.218.250.202 based (apparently) on two edits on Talk:Descartes (disambiguation). From what I see, it could well be a new user unused to Wikipedia who is trying to add information (albeit in the wrong place). Unless there is more to the story, 6 months seems a bit harsh? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 03:39, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, just saw the edit comment re: Boxingwear, so I guess there is more to the story. Might have been useful to mention that on the block comment - but I'm cool now. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 03:44, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Hi there. That IP address is an open proxy. While open proxies can be blocked per policy when found (indeed, we have ProcseeBot which tries to automate this), I generally don't go around digging them out and blocking them. In this case, however, it was used abusively by a well-known editor who is banned just about everywhere. I know this because I checked. As for the duration, some admins block for three months, some for a year - I've seen even five years! But as proxies tend to come and go, I find that six months is about right. Sorry about all the confusion - Alison ❤ 03:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, and the block log shows that it's both an open proxy and that it has been used abusively - Alison ❤ 03:50, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A nit, but it would have been useful if the block log indicated that you recognized the behavior as bad because of similarity to something else (i.e. Boxingwear). In isolation, the two edits are rather innocuous - and that's all the info I had about it. I believe the block is justified, the comment in the block log could have been clearer as to why. I appreciate your focus on this area. . . --John (User:Jwy/talk) 04:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Copiapó mining accident

I hate to dredge this subject up again after all that earlier debate but the title of the article is not in normal title case. It should read "2010 Copiapó Mining Accident". I would do such a minor fix myself if I could but for understandable reasons it is set by you to move=sysop. Veriss (talk) 20:46, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alison :)

Hi Alison, wanted to leave a note on your talk page for a week or so. When I joined Wikipedia a year and a half ago or so, not everybody was too welcoming. Fortunately, there were too many examples to the contrary - of people being nice, than of being not - which motivated me considerably to stay on, happily. You wouldn't remember this incident at all, but you were the administrator who gave me my rollback rights and got me on to enjoying the fascinating experience of Wikipedia. Huggle was pure addiction and the feeling of contributing to the betterment of the project, more so. For those rollback rights, and for helping me in-between whenever I came to you, my warmest thanks are reserved for you. I became an administrator on Wikipedia on the 16th of this month... and you singularly deserve the credits for the same. Alison, thanks again, and sincere regards always. Wifione ....... Leave a message 17:40, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

A chara, Ali-oops. Long time no hear. I took a quick glance at your webpage (just the intro) at your talkpage invitation. Didn't want to stay too long lest I was the uninvited guest barging in. Anyway, congratulations -- apparently you have at least one new little one to cherish (based on your wording). Glad to see you're not being beaten down by the State of California's current state. Think Whitman will win?

2010 election results are in: Whitman lost!

Anyway, to the point: I am having a mild dispute with another editor over everyone's favourite octogenarian ingenue from the film Titanic, Gloria Stuart, who recently passed away in the prime of life (100 years old). Anyway the dispute is over whether or not a COD has to be limited to one line, or if relevant factors revealed posthumously can be included. This other editor has told me to ... no, not that! ... check TOC, so I checked TOC, which did not resolve anything for me. Well, having worked at two VA hospitals and obsessed about death for many years now, I can assure you that CODs are often not simple at all, having potentially all sorts of complicated details. I pray you can enlighten me (us). Is mise le meas. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - haven't heard from you in almost a year (since December 2009) to be exact when you left me a wee thoughtful note. Since I never say or do anything that might offend anyone, I can't imagine you're cross with me, but anything is possible. I'd be gutted if that were the case, or at least gobsmacked. Anyway just wanted to say wish you and your family the best. I hope you're weathering the rough economy. Yours very sincerely, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 21:04, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move requests

Can you please move [[Articles for deletion/Meow Wars (2nd nomination)]] to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Meow Wars (2nd nomination)? Thanks in advance. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 19:23, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up the mess, and annotated the deletion log to point to the right discussion. How'd an AFD end up in main namespace, anyhow? Good day, Michael and Alison. Courcelles 21:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused. The Afd says keep or at least no consensus to delete, but the article was deleted with a link to the Afd as the reason. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 21:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I restored and then redeleted the page. After the moves, the AFD that reached the delete outcome was the third, not the second. See Meow Wars. Courcelles 21:34, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It was in the mainspace due to a silly typo I accidentally made. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 23:10, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dino Rossi

Out of sheer curiosity, I see some of the links were oversighted, so even administrators without oversight access cannot view it. Was it standard vandalism or was it an assertion that could be potentially damaging to the man's career? (Or, may you not answer that question without killing me?) Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:24, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of {{db-move}}

I notice that you protected {{db-move}} two years ago. However, I am questioning that, since db-move is really just a wrapper for {{db-g6}}, which is only semi-protected and, if modified, would affect the protected template too. Either reduce db-move to semi-protection, or fully protect db-g6.

Also, what exactly is the difference between the red protection lock and the gold protection lock? Both have identical log entries. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 01:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • From what I recall, all the template names have moved around in the two years since it was prot'd - it's been so long now that I can't recall all the details. It's customary to protect highly-transcluded templates such as this one as they're prime targets for vandalism. As for the colours of the locks - I've no idea, sorry :) - Alison ❤ 05:45, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CU

Can you take a quick look at user:744cody. They were reported to AIV, but myself and another admin didn't see the sock similarities to block. Thanks.  7  04:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thought so - thanks.  7  05:42, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight issues

Hi Alison! With reference to your recent block of User:202.154.155.224 and oversighting of his edit to Fry - is there anything I should've done differently? I gave him a {{uw-vandalism4im}}, which I think was appropriate (though he was up to level 3 anyway), but I'm wondering whether I should've been more pro-active in bringing this to administrator attention. Best wishes. Philip Trueman (talk) 08:54, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there. No, you did just great. When I saw that the editor started off light, got warnings then went to full-on oversight-type edits, I thought it best to just apply the brakes for a short while. Given the nature of the edits and comments made, it wasn't going to proceed well & oversight is costly in terms of everyone's time; both yours and mine. As an oversighter, I had to kinda make that call - Alison ❤ 10:07, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carpenter Sisters - deleted page request

Hello,

I got frustrated some time ago on the article Carpenter sisters and blanked the page in November 2009. It was then deleted under the G7 rule. I would like to revisit that page and to try to save it if possible. Any comment or opinion of that article would be appreciated also.

Thank you. Jrcrin001 (talk) 02:21, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

I absolutely love your picture! Great Work. --Monterey Bay (talk) 03:38, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. Now, for stylistic consistency I might recommend responding to such compliments with something more sinister, such as "Fuck off, aquarium loving dike. I hate my fucking picture and you. I hope someone shovels you off that fucking cliff on your page, you steaming dung pile! – 41l50n ᾦ " ; or some other pleasantry. Must maintain decorum. (Please don't block me, Miss Allie, you know I'z only a po' newbie, Ah dohn meanz it, I'z jus simple like that! Please.) BTW, I watched the Lionpalooza QT from your leaders on stream the other day, are those guys for real with the hairstyles and late night FM jock baritone voices? I thought I was watching some weird Christopher Guest movie, but no it really was a real App*e promo. Scary. Sswonk (talk)

ACC

Hey :)

I've approved your account on the ACC tool, and promoted you to admin, and given you the checkuser bit, which basically gives you the access to see all and do all. Please have a read over the guide so you know what to expect. Any questions, feel free to ask me or someone else.

Marknutley SPI

Re: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marknutley

I have restored my request, leaving out the off-wiki evidence. There is also a response to you. I do not know why TFD asked for check user. It is totally irrelevant to this case. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 01:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I ask you to restore the page to this version. It contains absolutely nothing that needs blanking. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 01:50, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact I never asked for a checkuser in this case, which I thought was irrelevant. Could you please explain why you believe thst your checkuser can prove that mark nutley did not use an open proxy. Petri Krohn has surely proved that open proxies were used, and only behavior can show whether or not mark nutley is behind them. TFD (talk) 05:12, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
