Unblock request

User:Jllproductions, whom you rightly blocked for having a spam username (he'd tried to create an article on a company of the same name) has requested an unblock, and, after a few rounds of discussion, seems to have adequately understood (or, at least, expressed an understanding) of the problems of spamming and promised not to do it anymore. Do you have any objections to an unblock? He hasn't actually formatted a proper unblock request, but I think the intent is clear. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

User:Embassy of Iraq

Hello, you unblocked this user a month ago to allow them to change their username. They haven't done so and have continued to edit with the current, inappropriate, name (contribs). QuiteUnusual (talk) 18:45, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Daniel

Thank you very munch for helping me.

Re: poopy

Cool. Thanks for getting back to me. So should those sorta names be reported in general? Personally, I've only been reporting them if they make vandalesque edits (sorta like "promotional" usernames and their edits). EvergreenFir (talk) 04:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Will do! Thanks again for getting back to me! EvergreenFir (talk) 20:29, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Unblocking User:Macableton

I've unblocked this user (see your TP archive 17, thread 1.283) under the conditions that he change his username and avoid linking to his site in future, both of which he's agreed to. No action needed on your part, just letting you know.Cheers, Yunshui 雲‍水 07:49, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

IP at Nina Rosenwald

Just ran into an edit conflict with you there. I hadn't thought of the possibility this was more than one person. I have to laugh at the accusation I've been edit warring - that was what I was responding to when we had the edit conflict. This IP is pretty obviously and openly(changing to appears to me to be, see below) anti-Muslim. Hopefully know he/she/they has managed to get attract enough attention. It will be interesting to see if we get any SPAs as the article is semi-protected for the rest of the month. Dougweller (talk) 18:05, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Actually my sock possibility resulted from not having fully read the section hed that says that comment was moved from another page. In any event, I've looked it up and the IP resolves to a Verizon server in the Virginia suburbs of D.C. Wonder if it's Rosenwald herself. Daniel Case (talk) 18:10, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

The IP has posted to my talk page saying that my post above is libel and that he is "not anti-Muslim and you have no basis for making such a claim." It could be that appearances are deceiving and he is not anti-Muslim, so I will revise my statement to say that he "appears to me to be anti-Muslim." This is on the basis of his edits but I don't want to use your page to argue the case. Dougweller (talk) 15:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on my talk page. You need to look at [1]. Dougweller (talk) 05:14, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Oversighter needed

Could you come and check the WP:ANI section entitled "Brahma Kumaris: Protecting individual privacy"? Someone's offered evidence that sounds to me like it's pretty damning, but the evidence was oversighted after it was offered. It might help if you could come in, check the diff in question, and then participate in the discussion. Nyttend (talk) 00:21, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the help! Perhaps you saw that someone else (who commented just after you) offered comments based on looking at the edit before it was oversighted; however, I'd much prefer an opinion from someone who was just looking at it in addition to someone who'd seen it hours earlier, simply because of human forgetfulness.

Disambiguation link notification for October 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Perry Mason moment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rose Garden (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Opting in to VisualEditor

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit ^beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 100 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:29, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm confused.

183.83.99.246

Thank you so much for Blocking this : 183.83.99.246 IP for one month and Thank you so much for that Open proxies Info., i will surely keep it in my Mind. Have a nice day Sir :) Regards, Raghusri (talk) 14:34, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

It is not a formal request, but I am wondering if you could take a moment and look at the comment

The user was blocked (and made the unfortunate decision to create and edit talk pages from another account, with an unsuitable user name)

You denied an official unblock request because it was non-responsive, but I am wondering if you have a moment to look at the user's recent statement at User_talk:81.240.180.58#Comment -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:22, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Citations in New York NR articles

Perhaps you've seen the latest discussion about NRIS-only stubs at WT:NRHP, which has led to the creation of pages such as User:Dudemanfellabra/NRISOnly. I'm currently going through the "Articles with only one source that is not NRIS" section, marking things that have a badly formatted NRIS citation and removing entries that are sourced to something else. Among the latter category are many of your New York articles such as United States Post Office (Granville, New York), which have "just one source" because they're written from the nominations. Of course I'm not complaining that you're using the nominations! I'm simply coming here to ask if you could go through your New York creations and add NRIS citations (or New York SHPO citations, if applicable) to the infoboxes, since the nomination form doesn't mention the property's reference number or the date when it was added to the Register. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 13:28, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

User:Neo ^

Hi Daniel. As the blocking administrator, I'm letting you know of an unblock request for Neo ^ that has been open for three weeks pending additional input from you. If you would comment one way or the other, it would be appreciated. Ishdarian 10:40, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

See here. Thank you very much for your input. Nyttend (talk) 02:40, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Possible IP block?

Hi! In September you'd blocked the ip 107.210.111.166 for 24 hours for vandalism. The same person appears to be back it again and while I think I've cleaned up all but the latest mess they made today, would it be possible to get another block applied so at least they'll be stopped again for a bit? Thanks! Ultraviolet (talk) 19:00, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

IP address you blocked back editing again

You blocked 88.104.25.210. 8 out of the 9 edits of 88.104.29.3 have been on the same pages that the other IP address was on. [2] Same IP range. Same rude personality. Same person. They are getting around the block by using a different IP. Dream Focus 17:50, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Request for account to be renamed

Hi Daniel. I recently listed User:BlackBab00nHamilton at the UAA noticeboard with the suggestion that the account should be renamed per WP:BLPABUSE, as the username is a racial attack against Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. However HBC AIV helperbot7 removed the listing because the account has already been blocked. I'm assuming that if I relist the account at UAA, the bot will just remove it again, so I thought I would approach you directly, as you appear to be active at the UAA holding pen. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 11:07, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Why would we rename an account that's blocked indefinitely? That's what we do with offensive usernames, we don't rename them...WP:RBI ES&L 11:18, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

WP:BLPABUSE says "Certain disruptive and offensive usernames (for example those containing contentious material about living persons, or those that are clearly abusive towards any race, religion or social groups) may be immediately blocked by administrators and renamed by bureaucrats to protect Wikipedia and the subjects involved from harm." (my bolding). DH85868993 (talk) 11:30, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Account clarification

Hi, I recently created a new account after losing the password to my old one. EricChuang676 is the account that I will be using from now on, so please disregard EricChuang. (EricChuang676 talk) 7:00, 29 October 2013

I've unblocked Craigkrullgallery to allow for a name change. He seems to have answered the COI questions fine, and the proposed new name was okay. As always, please feel free to re-block if I've missed something. Kuru (talk) 17:52, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Many thanks for your excellent edits to the Hermann Stieve article. Adding the back-stories of the Nazi victims whose deaths Stieve exploited was an excellent idea. Adding their photographs emphasizes their humanity and heroism and contrasts this with Stieve's dehumanization of them. The Anome (talk) 15:41, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Any objections to unblocking User talk:Worldstridesm? His latest unblock request seems fine. I can add that article to my watchlist as well. Kuru (talk)

Question

Hello Daniel Case, I was just wondering whether, considering your recent indefinite block of Edaniels1004 (talk · contribs), the page Wikipedia:Edaniels1004 should be deleted. Thanks, Toccata quarta (talk) 07:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Non-violation of Vantage Production Ltd

Hi,

I've just spotted at WP:UAA you've not blocked, for example, "Vantage Production Ltd". Surely that account is either misleading due to it not being controlled by a company, or it is controlled by a company and therefore afoul of our rules about accounts only being for one user? I can see a few cases where you've declined to block in similar circumstances, and I don't understand the logic for letting them lie when, for example, "Juiceentertainment" has just been blocked on these grounds.

Reliable Source and Link Deletion

Hi Daniel. I posted on Ronz's page regarding the links I placed and the links I still see making their way on wikipedia. The kind of links allowed to stay on wikipedia are confusing me with the term reliable source !!!

A longer block

Hey Daniel, I was thinking that User: Shoka1234 deserves a longer block due to this comment, the user was blocked for personal attacks and harassment before, and frankly the user frequently violates WP:V and probably deserved a longer block then 12 hours from the beginning. Its all on your opinion though. STATic message me! 04:12, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I mean it is one thing to call names to another editor, but to tell two editors to "kill themselves" is a bit extreme to me, people that are going to say those type of things frankly do not belong here, in my opinion. But I will message the blocking admin. Regards, STATic message me! 04:54, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Aww poor baby, i'm intrigued to see how you deal with the real world when you're blatantly wrong then go off technicalities to try to look less stupid.
