Important: This talk page is becoming very boring. Please consider leaving hilarious knock-knock jokes so as to spruce things up a little. Thanks!

Test page deleted

Why did you delete my test page? Further, why did you delete it without any notification?? Timneu22 (talk) 13:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because you placed a speedy deletion tag on it requesting that it be deleted. I would be happy to undelete it if the tag was part of the test. Tiptoety ^talk 19:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, doesn't look like Timneu22 was the one who put the tag on. Might have been a misunderstanding; he labeled a section "this needs to be deleted", and another user probably thought he meant the entire page. Tan | 39 06:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I have restored the page. Good catch Tan ;) Tiptoety ^talk 14:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DickCharlesPhD

I hesitate to bring this up, because there's a ~~90%~~ probably 95% chance you made exactly the right call, but might this have been a little hasty? I'm just thinking there's a ~~10%~~ 5% chance that a PhD student named Dick Charles, with a self-efacing sense of humor, is sitting at his computer right now saying "what the hell did I do?". Maybe instead of a {{usernamehardblock}}, a {{usernameblock}} with a short comment, so they can choose another name? Or, maybe you know more than me; there are all kinds of internet memes I don't know about, and like I said, you probably did the right thing. If you feel comfortable with this, I'm not going to argue more, I trust your judgement. Just wanted to make sure you'd weighed this possibility. --barneca (talk) 22:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, seeing as he just sent me a rather rude email I think I will leave it the way it is. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 22:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I guess you do have more info than I do. --barneca (talk) 22:24, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for assuming good faith though! Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 22:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request to post me a deleted article (is that how you add a new subject here?) (hope so)

Hello there! Woz wondering if you can be sympathetic enough to mail me a deleted article marked for speedy deletion A7 (for not stating the significance of it)? The article's title was Adamaduma an israeli band playing very special afro-yemen fusion (I know i'm not objective as I'm a member of the band, but thought it to be interesting enough for the community, and also a good linking station for many musical generes and instruments)

I'm a Wiki newbee, (really new), and this is the first time I'm putting something on the database. I didn't know that I can write it in the sandbox. too bad. I am an ethno-musician with a lot of information and knowledge to contribute to the database, that I think would interest others. I wish to understand how it's done, and would appreciate it if you or somebody else can help me do it the way it's done here in wikipedia! quite complex... for someone who's never done that before..

blessings! --Adamaduma (talk) 11:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to send you a copy of the deleted material, but first you need to enable email on your account, you can do that in your preferences. Tiptoety ^talk 14:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tile join socks

Hi there, I noticed you deleted Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Tile join, and all the tagged userpages of the socks. This is making it very difficult for me to list a new suspected sockpuppet for checkuser since I need to refer to previous socks to describe behavior and find the block logs and when they were checkusered. Could you restore these deletions please? Tim Vickers (talk) 20:14, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They can all be found here. Tiptoety ^talk 20:20, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've listed the case at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Tile join, but that took me a lot more time than it would have otherwise due to those deletions. I think understand your reason for doing it, but it created a lot more work for me. Tim Vickers (talk) 20:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have cause you, I will make sure the list makes it to the RFCU talk page. Tiptoety ^talk 20:28, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Carol Kalish Fanclub

Can you just drop a line or two in here about your evidence for the block - it will make the unblock review a lot easier, since the user is hammering the unblock template with what looks like genuine confusion. Fritzpoll (talk) 12:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User: HistoricWarrior007

You've moderated the 2008 South Ossetia war talk page before right? The following user has a history of uncivility and never seems to assume good faith. I've pointed it out to him and asked him several times to change his posting style, but in vain. If you want a list of examples I can make this. There's special enforcement sanctions on Eastern Europe subjects right? Well, all I care about is that it stops, because it's just tiring. Cheers. Grey Fox (talk) 17:41, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to look into it for you, but am currently a bit busy. Would you mind providing some diff's of incivility, along with some diff's of you (or others) attempting to resolve the issue or warn the user their actions are inappropriate, doing that will lay the ground work for me. Thanks! Tiptoety ^talk 18:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Cubfan789

The editor continues to blank his/her talk page in bad faith. Do you think it should be fully protected? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He has been blocked. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 22:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but what does blanking their talk page "in bad faith" mean? The policy is fairly liberal on allowing people to blank their talk page (including warnings). Some of the attacks are unnecessary but that was Cubfan789's talk page. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The block was not based on that at all, it was because he made some personal attacks against other users. Tiptoety ^talk 05:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean this comment? Because it's the only recent comment Cubfan789 has made to any user recently. It's certainly not a personal attack. I'm sure Cubfan789 was frustrated that Sesshomaru kept reverting Cubfan's blanking of his own talk page, which is a perfectly reasonable edit, and Sesshomaru should be asked to stop. Mango juice^talk 14:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mangojuice, you have to stop right now. I restored the messages on Cubfan789's talk page twice after Tiptoety did it once. I suggest you follow this example. It's pretty obvious why someone should use rollback in such an instance. Why else would it be reverted the first time? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 15:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Sesshomaru, Cubfan789 has every right to remove content from his talk page. The only reason I reverted was because he removed a unblock template that had been declined (and he was still blocked). Tiptoety ^talk 15:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage Template

Hi Tiptoety, I am EntertainU, am I am adopted by Addshore, one of your friends. I was wondering if I could use your userpage template for mine. My userpage is not that interesting, and so I would like yours. Thank-You and Happy Editing! --i-am-entertainU (talk) 00:51, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, sure..but it is not very original anymore seeing as like 10 users are now using it. While I do not care if you use it, I would recommend that you create your own. I can direct you towards a few users who would be happy to create one for you. Tiptoety ^talk 00:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cubfan789

It seems to me that your block of Cubfan789 (talk) was out of place. The statement Get a life doesn't seem to be that bad; nor does STOP EDITING MY PAGE as a response to a violation of WP:DRC. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I missed the "get a life" comment, but it seems to me Sesshomaru was over the line here clearly, edit-warring over another user's own user talk page. A mild warning would have been appropriate, a 48-hour block is not. Mango juice^talk 14:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then you are more than welcome to unblock, I just think Cubfan789's messages on his talk speak from themselves and I know that once unblocked he will go right back to edit warring and violating WP:CIV. While the basis for my block was the civility violations (which I feel are not enforced enough), there are quite a few other concerns with this account. But like I said before, if consensus determines that a unblock would be the right course of action, than I am fine with that. Tiptoety ^talk 15:43, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've got to agree his edits were a bit uncivil and that coming so soon after the prior block would fall within the realm of discretion for a CIV block. MBisanz ^talk 16:04, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can the "Mirror, Mirror" page be recreated after the episode airs on ABC this Sunday?

Can the "Mirror, Mirror" page be recreated after the Desperate Housewives episode airs on ABC this Sunday? AdamDeanHall (talk) 15:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It will need to go through deletion review. Tiptoety ^talk 15:47, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollaback

Shame you fixed it, I was looking forward to the new hit, "Administrative Rollaback Girl". :D Acalamari 16:51, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"That rollback is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S..." Tan | 39 16:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I debated leaving it... but without background music it was just not the same. :D Tiptoety ^talk 16:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stock market

Hi Tiptoey: Your deletion of stock market has put a red-link on the main page... MeegsC | Talk 17:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oopsy! I was trying to revert some nasty page move vandalism and did not mean to capitalize the "M". Appears to have been fixed. Thanks, Tiptoety ^talk 17:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I'd already figured it was some anti-vandalism thing... : ) MeegsC | Talk 19:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback request

Could you please give me rollback? At this point I would use it mostly on the extreme nasty vandalism on articles relating to candidates in the presidential election. Thanks, ~ priyanath ^talk 18:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most certainly! Enjoy! Tiptoety ^talk 18:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, ~ priyanath ^talk 19:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

Many thanks.Londo 06 19:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey what's up? Good job administering the net :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poopface1013 (talk • contribs) 05:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About me blocked for Nadal's warring

I was warring VS Tennis Expert. He's not blocked? He warred way more than me, check his thousand vandalism edit the last 2 months. Block him also or I wont stop posting (IP ban this ip range if ya want, ive 2 isps lol). 81.184.39.193 (talk) 20:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So you WARN him and BLOCK me? I'm reporting you as admin abusing. 81.184.66.56 (talk) 20:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My block isn't legal since you blocked me and you just warned him, and as I told you before, I will report you for not doing equally your admin job. Block him like me and I wont edit more with other ips. 62.57.239.105 (talk) 20:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's great that you keep getting me more blocked, this means one thing: I'm 12 days banned? Tennis expert is 12 days "banned". All his edits will be reverted the next 12 days. 62.57.197.96 (talk) 20:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tiptoety! Thanks for blocking Korlzor and some of his (and Wikitestor's) IP. As you can see, he threathens to keep his disruptive behavior through IP adresses, which has already occurred here and here (as Wikitestor and with a "strategic" edit summary, that is hiding the same as what Kolzor did with a more profane summary here)]. How can one get around such an unfortunate situation? I watch this page. Cheers! (While writing this, he has as yeat another IP made this disruption.) --HJensen, talk 06:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The IP's appear to have already been blocked by one of our Checkusers. Tiptoety ^talk 17:46, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Fine, thanks!--HJensen, talk 17:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC) [Addendum. But he is at it again: here ]--HJensen, talk 17:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		The Resilient Barstar
		Thanks for all your intellectual, intelligent, and masculine contributions, keep up the great work. Nissanaltima (talk) 02:25, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, what kind words. Thank you! Tiptoety ^talk 05:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't you banning the warrer and 3rr rulebreaker tennis expert?

He broke it yesterday, today also and hes getting only warnings. I'm making people know of this. Wikitestor (talk) 18:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the master?

Just wondering, how did you determine that Korlzor (talk · contribs) was the master? Wikitestor (talk · contribs) was created and edited a month before Korlzor. Am I misunderstanding the definition of sockmaster? Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 22:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was simply becasue Wikitestor was indef blocked while Korlzor remains with only a one month block, making him the master. You do not always have to choose the user who has been around the longest. Tiptoety ^talk 22:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cubfan789

It's not really a big deal to me, but I thought I would ask one last time if you could reconsider the block on User:Cubfan789. He's probably a.. younger editor, and he made a mistake about who the anon account was. From his point of view I can understand his reactions, and I don't think it's fair to treat this on the same level as a case of harassment on Sesshomaru (as in, it wasn't an unprovoked action, and his comments were out of frustration). I think a better way to have dealt with this would have been to tell him that if he thinks Sesshomaru is talking to him/messing with him/whatever, is to not respond at all and instead ask someone else for help rather than respond. That would prevent even a mistaken situation such as this one.

But that's just my two cents. Cheers. -- Ned Scott 05:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ned. While I understand where you are coming from and could see where discussion may have been a better option, I also have been watching this user rather closely and from what I gather he is intent on being disruptive and discussion has seemed not to work all that well. I agree with you that it was not a unprovoked action, but in saying that, it does not mean that it makes it any more ok. Either way, his block has expired and he is once again welcome to edit. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 05:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough (and oops, didn't notice the block being expired). -- Ned Scott 05:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re WP:Bear

Nope, only possible offensiveness is that it may have regarded as belittling someones legit complaint - which, since the complainant joined in, was not the case. As someone who has had their bear-like appearance commented on by their gay male friends I am pretty familiar with what I speak... which is one reason why I do not comment about people who use Twinkle in everyday WP use. Nevermind, I realise that your action was as well intentioned as mine. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Check User

I have added more info. Schuym1 (talk) 22:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need for clarification

Hi, a little extra clarification is needed regarding this [1]. In a previous 3RR case admin Doug said the following "Also warned user that an extended block or an ANI referral for possible topic ban would be recommended if user violates again. " [2]. Your comment was more about "involved parties" but since the above comment by admin Doug was specifically about GreekParadise he is the only person relevant in this regard. Where the clarification/reinforcement is needed in your ruling is "Did GreekParadise "violated again"? Did GreekParadise violated the rules regarding edit warring? Your comment "Okay, I was all ready to block quite a few editors involved in this most recent dispute" suggests that he did, but does not mention him by name. A clear "ruling" or clarification saying, yes "GreekParadise violated 3RR/edit warring rules" would be needed here first. Thanks in advance. Hobartimus (talk) 07:06, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, GreekParadise was in violation of WP:EDITWAR, but seeing as he stopped when asked a block at this point would be purely punitive. Tiptoety ^talk 07:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hkelkar

Hi Tiptoety. 72.179.59.89 and 70.112.78.91 are clear Hkelkar socks. Both have made identical edits. 72.179.59.89 has already been blocked. Atomicdor (talk) 11:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Kirksey deletion

You closed this discussion without allowing it to run for five full days, without explanation. Please reopen it. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 15:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No thank you, the AfD was only hours away from its five hour mark and consensus was clear. Tiptoety ^talk 18:11, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the time it was deleted, it had 37 hours to run. Per this discussion, [[3]], the consensus appears to be that such premature closures are inappropriate. I, for one, would like to comment on it. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 18:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
