Just curious

Hello BH. At the AN thread where you asked NeilN why he didn't think the IP was the same editor was it because he had posted "The IP is clearly NotAlpArslan." I'm curious because the first time I read it my eye saw it not AlpArslan and I had to do a double take to read it correctly. It reminds me of the Tshirt that reads "Let's eat Grandma" - "Let's eat, Grandma" - commas save lives. The situation gave me a chuckle - I am posting this in the hope that it does the same for you. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 00:34, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. My eyes were repeating that same mistake and I was misreading that NeilN thought he wasn't. Sorry Neil...damn socks!

I hope my little Abbott joke straightened the misunderstanding out :) --NeilN ^{talk to me} 00:43, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Can a guy get a schoolblock up in here?

Could you address this active and reported offender (212.173.124.102 (talk · contribs · WHOIS))? Thanks! BusterD (talk) 14:36, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Blocked.

Thank you, Stan. Let me give you one of these. I've had them and they are very good. I had the 6% version and not the 10.7%. You can't taste any alcohol in it. Excellent.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 14:44, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

And thank you. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Meru, Malaysia

Hi, Berean Hunter, I noticed your edit and comment. What about Pandan Jaya and so many others? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 15:30, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lotje, we are working on removing the refspam as listed at ANI and proposed for blacklist. I just blocked another range currently spamming it, too. ;/
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 15:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Great to have people like you running around here. Lotje (talk) 15:43, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Possible sock?

Talk:Osias Beert. Please take a look. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Will look shortly...still removing links (down from 494 to 253 currently) this spam.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 15:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

good luck! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Apologies

You pinged me at ANI (I think) and I never got around to responding. Is that dead now or can I still help? Doug Weller (talk) 17:24, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Dead now. :) He's indeffed now.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 17:42, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Looks like a month block, not indefinite. Doug Weller (talk) 12:48, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct. It's a Freudian slip in this case based on where I think they are headed.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 18:55, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Possible sock

I see that you blocked User:69.1.22.120 yesterday. Today, User:76.6.107.236 made these edits to The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. For comparison, see these diffs from yesterday. Would you take a look and see if you think it is the same person? Billcasey905 (talk) 23:57, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

@Billcasey905: Sorry for the late reply. Yes, they are the same. I've semi-protected the article for one month to deter the IP hopping which is more effective than playing whac-a-mole and blocking all the IPs. He may show up at the talk page(s) though.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 18:50, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, and understand about the reply. Busy time for all of us. Billcasey905 (talk)

Semi-protect of one's Talk Page

Thank you for the recent range block. Can you also semi-protect my own Talk page and possibly other subsites, please? This ever-hopping IP has called me "imbecile" there, just to spite. Not that I am offended, but it's getting tedious to tell it to desist yet again. Zezen (talk) 17:41, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

No problem. Semi'd for two days.

Question about earlier Tirgil34 investigation

Hi, Berean Hunter. I'm probable problably late in adressing this, having returned today from a long wikibreak after som interesting relevations appeared. My question is if you when closing the 26 June Tirgil34 investigation was aware that there were two ongoing investigations, and that the earlier investigation had several Checkuser checked  Likely and  Possible accounts requiring administrator attention? Krakkos (talk) 15:52, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't remember, sorry.

Bio on Beverly Cleary

Please fix the misspelling of Beverly Clearys children on the upper right corner of the page. There is not a second "l" in their last name. I realize it is stupid that it bothers me but I think Ms. Cleary deserves the correct spelling. Thank you.

I've done this but in the future I would encourage you to be bold and make corrections yourself. We welcome that around here.

ACW sources

Ok thank you. I am trying my best on looking up sources I believe sources is super important to give on what kind of information it came from. I just feel like that every time if I put up something on Wikipedia. I keep finding sources so they won't think that I stole it from others.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Eight nation alliance fan102 (talk • contribs) 04:51, November 30, 2015‎ (UTC)

@Eight nation alliance fan102: Here are some good sources for American Civil War editing written by a now-retired editor. There are others but these give a good start for you. By the way, you may be interested in our Military history project...this is a good place to ask questions and get help.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 05:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok I'll start there. Thank you for your help.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Eight nation alliance fan102 (talk • contribs) 05:14, November 30, 2015‎ (UTC)

You're welcome.

MENSA + talked to like a dweezle dont mix

Berean, I gave links the man could have looked at -- I just gave them again Paul La Violette is a hugely respected and renowned scientist, not a "book author" and WIKI has no page on this? I said, OBAMA sent a letter, because he DID, and your person Weller couldnt be bothered to learn that... So, I dont like to be talked down to, and "holy crud" is not a rude expression, its called astonishment. Perhaps Mr. Weller might rephrase his attitude by saying "please show a link re OBAMA's letter" instead of "I cant imagine why you think that" like a [interject pleasant word of choice].

)

One more slight thing to consider, Berean -- when anyone, even a Non Mensan, stops by and gives you THEIR time to update your pages to proper snuff, and your robot rudely wastes their typing time, this is mind boggling to believe wont upset the contributor. A Thank You belongs in the comments when the person BOTHERS to tell you of the error, dont you think?? After all, where would WIKI be without good info such as I provided? (Possibly back in 2006 re the birth of bosnian pyramids, by chance?). Oy Vey. Letterhead330 (talk) 22:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC) Have a nice day. Letterhead330 (talk) 22:44, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Letterhead330 do not continue to call someone "uneducated" because you are starting to harass when you do that. There is no need to demean someone here. Try sticking to the subject and use logic, please.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 22:47, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Berean said: "do not call someone uneducated because...." Okay. I educated. Weller did not absorb or verify. I provided links. Next time someone tells me black is white, should I use Ignorant, or is that too, harassment? I always thought uneducated means lacking taught facts, but maybe Im wrong. Please advise me of what word to use when teaching someone a new fact and they reject wanting to hear about it, or claim back that an properly informed person is wrong without making sure theyre well-informed, first. :) Im very open to suggestions and not meaning to be rude, but what would you say? I would say scoliosis in my neck makes typing hurt, and to have a spam bot erase before Ive gotten to the credits, for not PUTTING credits, is rather absurd...and then to have the credits rejected, because theyre on the net, is even more absurd, as this is now a very-internet oriented world. :)Letterhead330 (talk) 22:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

IP editing

Since 13 Nov, when I (quite unnecessarily) declared that I'm editing logged out for the time being, I've made eight edits using the account. Seven were to my account's talk page. The eighth was to an article's talk page and was intended to be made logged out, as I said there. So I don't see the problematic overlap that you refer to. Also, not that I care much that some people might know what city I live in, I don't think it's considered proper for you to publicly reveal my account's IP address. When a different editor did that, an admin suppressed it. Finally, if were to be unfairly accused of socking, it might be just the final straw I needed to finally divorce myself from this insane asylum. So I'm not going to worry about that. 72.198.26.61 (talk) 22:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
