Hey, I unblocked NYyankees51 (talk · contribs) on an extension of AGF on the conditions that he stick to that account (and only that account) and that he consent to regular CUs to make sure he's not taking the piss. Could you find the time to do a check at random intervals? Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?

I'll do my best - my memory isn't the greatest in the world. I'll remove the timestamp from your sig so this doesn't archive. Now, what were we talking about? Waffles? TNXMan

I appreciate it! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?

Just a heads-up, I've asked a question for clarification of your CU result at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Meowy. Thanks a lot, – Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry I missed your message, I left town right as it came in. Apologies. TNXMan 21:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Good Day

SamsungFuqua (talk) 20:34, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Hi Tnxman307,

I appreciate your help in cleaning up the Fuqua School of Business page. I noticed that most other top business schools also do not have clear citations around things like alumni, academics, school history, etc. on their wikipedia pages, specifically: Harvard Business School, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Sloan School of Management, Columbia Business School, Stern School of Business, Booth School of Business, Tuck School of Business, Haas School of Business, Ross School of Business, Kellogg School of Management, Yale School of Management, Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, and the Johnson Graduate School of Management.

Could you also clean up those pages as well? This would allow all schools to function in a fair environment on Wikipedia in which all data is accurate, well sourced, and patrolled/cleaned-up when necessary by administrators. Thanks.

SamsungFuqua (talk) 20:34, 23 April 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

I'll certainly take a look at those pages. I've also reword the honor code section in the Fuqua article to be more neutral. The way it was worded, it looked like Fuqua was trying to put the best possible spin on the situation. Also, looking at your username, you may want to review our conflict of interest guide, as it may have information relevant to you. TNXMan 16:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Tnxman307. This is helpful. Also, thanks for taking a look at the other schools listed above. I know that they are all making similar types of errors and mistakes in complying with Wikipedia's guidelines for what counts as reliable, well sourced, and non-promotional information and I just want to be sure that all schools are abiding by these same standards. Thanks again. SamsungFuqua (talk) 16:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

Hi Tnxman307 - Any luck cleaning up the other top business school's wiki pages? They seem to be all making errors and mistakes in complying with Wikipedia's guidelines for what counts as reliable, well sourced, and non-promotional information and I just want to be sure that all schools are abiding by the same standards. Thanks. SamsungFuqua (talk) 14:52, 4 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

Hi Tnxman307- Any progress on addressing this issue and cleaning up the wiki pages of the other schools? It has been a month since we first discussed this issue and it looks like you have had time to address issues presented by users that have come after my request, but none of the other school's pages have been cleaned up in the same way as the Fuqua School of Business. To ensure that the Fuqua School of Business isn't being unfairly targeted for clean-ups, can you address this issue? SamsungFuqua (talk) 15:28, 22 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

Samsung; 2 things: first, it's very rude to recopy things from archives back onto a talkpage. Second, there's no time limit for fixing things - we're all volunteers around here! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:55, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

... and let me add, that considering it says that he's on vacation at the very top of this page ... (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:03, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

My apologies, I didn't realize that there was a specific format for following up on outstanding items that have been archived. I was simply trying to make it as easy as possible for Tnxman307 to follow our past communication and meant no disrespect otherwise. Can you point me towards the guidelines for bringing items back from the archive section so that I can follow such guidelines in the future? SamsungFuqua (talk) 17:57, 22 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

... also, I honestly didn't realize that he was on vacation and had no intention of interrupting his vacation. That said, in all fairness I have been patient for a full month and none of my outstanding concerns have begun to be addressed (additionally, my two most recent follow-ups have not received any response from Tnxman307). Hopefully, you can at least partially sympathize with my feeling of being overlooked.SamsungFuqua (talk) 18:01, 22 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

Patience is virtue and there is no deadline.--ukexpat (talk) 18:29, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I completely agree. I would also challenge you, ukexpat, and others to assume that I "assume good faith" (Wikipedia:Assume good faith). My style and sense of responsiveness is different from your style and the style of others, but should be treated with equal respect. I mean no disrespect with any post and all should be cognizant of this. Although, Wikipedia has a "no deadline policy," I would again point out that I have been very patient (e.g. waiting a month) and that it is not unreasonable to follow-up on an outstanding item after being so patient. SamsungFuqua (talk) 23:50, 23 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

I believe that we all are assuming good faith, and we're politely recommending a few key things. Take for example my talkpage says please do not leave {{tb}} templates there ... and yet, guess what I found there this morning? You may not task another editor with completing anything - indeed, we have another great concept: WP:SOFIXIT. Yes, they volunteered to try and help if they had time... well, they have not had time, and may never have time. We have millions of editors. You are being treated respectfully, like an adult, and like an editor who has their own skills ... (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I would gladly make the edits myself, but doing so would cause unnecessary attacks to my page of interest (given my user name) by other business schools. Unfortunately, in my case, making edits myself is not a possibility. Additionally, when I make edits to my page of interest, several administrators find the time to almost immediately adjust my edits, but don't have the time to alter the mistakes made by other schools with the same degree of scrutiny. To some degree, I can't help but feel frustrated with what appears, at times, to be a double standard. That said, I have looked past this and have assumed that all administrators are acting in good faith and am happy to continue being patient.SamsungFuqua (talk) 16:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

That's one of the pitfalls of editing articles where you have a clear and inescapable conflict of interest. – ukexpat (talk) 17:33, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I have also looked through your talk page and cannot seem to find where {{tb}} templates are stated to be forbidden. I noticed that other users have posted {{tb}} templates to your talk page. As I have now done, other users have also mentioned to you that they missed where it states that {{tb}} templates are forbidden on your page and this seems to be a recurring item. You might make such instruction more clear on your page so that I, and other users, don't miss such information in the future. As stated before, I mean no disrespect with any of my posts and didn't mean to offend you or challenge your talk page policies by posting a {{tb}} template to your talk page. SamsungFuqua (talk) 16:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)SamsungFuqua

It's in the edit notice that's visible when you attempt to edit User talk:Bwilkins, see this for example. – ukexpat (talk) 17:36, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) BWilkins: It might be useful to add that talkback notice to the talkpage instead of being an editnotice. If some uses Twinkle to leave you a message, then they'll never see that request. Cheers! – AJL^talk 16:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Email

Hello, I have sent you an email regarding a somewhat complex case of sockpuppetry. Thanks, nableezy - 20:55, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm leaving my current location, but will check my email later tonight. TNXMan 21:01, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shez 15

So uhh... "Surhan 123" is not a registered account. Who gets the consolation prize now? ... *coughs awkwardly* — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 13:24, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Ummmm.... cut to commercial! (I'll go fix it) :) TNXMan 13:27, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Heh. The main reason I suspected it was Mukesh is because a bunch of confirmed socks of his had edited Koffee with Karan. We're absolutely sure that Shez and Mukesh are unrelated? — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 13:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, they're on different continents. TNXMan 13:54, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Sulmuesi

Hello Tnxman,

So I see you blocked the sock account and the sleepers, but what about the main account? This is a user with a long block log and history of AE sanctions, and the behavioral evidence ties Sulmuesi to Doktor Plumbi pretty strongly, don't you think? Best, Athenean (talk) 18:37, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, HelloAnnyong did the blocking and tagging. I only identified the accounts that were using the same IP and computer. Sulmuesi hasn't edited in a while, so I have no technical data to which I can make a comparison. As for the behavioral evidence, you may want to ask HelloAnnyong or another clerk to review that part of it. TNXMan 22:06, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Celebration1981

In your result you say BalencedRight is likely...likely connection to who? -- DQ (t) (e) 11:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Stubes99- sorry about that. The filer (who is probably Iaaasi (talk · contribs), evading a block) included a link where a sock claimed that Celebration1981 was the original account. TNXMan 12:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

TNX: is Celebration1981 also a Stubes99 sock? — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 13:52, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I think the claim is that Stubes99 is a Celebration1981 sock. I'm not sure how much difference it makes at this point though. TNXMan 13:54, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

User:Supershorts

I was wondering on what evidence this user was blocked, I couldn't find him mentioned in the SPI and in my opinion he didn't exhibit the same behavior as Mikemikev - for example he didn't show any particular interest in race, and he showed some knowledge of anthropology which Mikemikev never had. I realize there may have been things I overlooked, but I didn't suspect him to be Mikemikev at all after interacting with him for a while.·Maunus·ƛ· 12:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

The technical data is pretty convincing that Supershorts=QuintupleTwist (talk · contribs)=Comicania (talk · contribs). It looks like this might have been a good-hand account. TNXMan 12:47, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Ah, good.·Maunus·ƛ· 13:12, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah it was me. Happy now? Assholes.
