The ip appears here solely to revert the edits of User:124x247x221x146. Weird. And airline destinations is such an odd thing to get so excited about. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:10, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Another editor worth keeping an eye on, see also User:124.247.221.146, likely correlation between these two. Mjroots (talk) 19:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Somebody keeps changing this article and putting in the wrong date of birth etc on the grounds of security. Can you help? I understand about keeping the parents names out, but I don't understand the other changes. Ravenscroft32 (talk) 20:03, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Removing the parents' names from Wikipedia won't make them a secret, since they've already been published in independent sources. And I don't get why putting the wrong birth year in would be at all helpful. I'll try to keep an eye on Kristin Bauer. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. It looks to me as though the DOB is the real issue. Ravenscroft32 (talk) 21:13, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Congratulations! When did this occur, and did I !vote in the matter? ;~) LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:26, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry. I'm sure it's an oversight that will be corrected soon, since I have a wild disregard for both Wikipedia's rules and basic human courtesies. Ask any of the thousands of surly teenagers whose asses I've blocked. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Oversight? Nope, does not ring any bells... LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to put a week-long block on Lovetimes9 due to the disruptive editing he has started. Can you look into it? Rusted AutoParts (talk) 18:02 4 October 2010 (UTC)
I can't find the vandalism you warned him for. If he's still vandalizing after your warning, you can report it at WP:AIV with diffs. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:38, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
I'd guess that the author copy/pasted the Claire Danes article to use as a template while she worked- I've seen that before. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:34, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
I am most certainly not an expert on the subject of airports in Goa. I couldn't even find the place on a map without the help of Wikipedia. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:36, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Despite of the recent protection of SpiceJet destinations, the edit war regarding Goa vs Vasco da gama is still ongoing. Requesting your intervention on this issue. never stop flying (talk) 11:10, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I suspect that the airport probably is in Vasco de Gama... but if it's impossible to find a source confirming that, then the article will continue to just say Goa, like all the sources do. I would be shocked if the ip isn't the same user who was pushing this odd edit before, but I've been wrong in the past. Once. In 2000. On a Thursday in June. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I just blocked Hello5678 (talk·contribs) indefinitely with no talkpage access (unblock email in template) for violating BLP and making threats on their userpage while blocked. If you think it is worthwhile to continue discussion, I would not object if you were to undo this. Do you think that as one of the relevant parties I should request review at AN/I? Regards, - 2/0 (cont.) 17:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Meh. He made it clear that he had an agenda that was at odds with Wikipedia's mission, that he intends to keep pursuing that agenda, and that he's perfectly willing to threaten off-wiki retaliation if he doesn't get his way. You won't find me fighting for his right to continue participating. You can ask for a review if you like... you won't hear any protest from me about it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:40, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi. It seems as 83.252.165.147 just won't quit, he started editing under a new IP on Djurgårdens IF Fotboll again. What should the new step be, semi-protection? Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 08:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, and I've put it in place. I still have no idea what she objects to, since her lone explanation was in a language I don't read. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Google translate gives her explanation as "Why should there be a tribute text on animal farm only "glory days" from the very beginning of the article? This then provided by the "history" and should be placed there." But I can't make any connection between that and what the anon is actually doing, since she's removing information, not moving it elsewhere. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I see- he thinks some of the information in the lede should be further down in the article, and is moving it. I don't really have any problem with that. Maybe she'd even get that change made, if she'd stop and discuss it in English instead of edit-warring over it. Oh, well, I told her how to do that. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll try and rewrite the lede, and see if that does the trick. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 14:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Btw, it seems as though this person has created a user, seen here: Hatadif (contribs). His or her username means "Hate DIF", DIF being an acronym for the club, Djurgårdens IF, which the user have edited. The same user have also edited AIK-related pages; AIK is the arch-rival of Djurgårdens IF. In short, this is a fan of AIK who doesn't like Djurgårdens IF. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 14:35, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
(Also posted at User talk:Daniel Case) The last thing I want to do is exonerate Wikiplayer13 (I've mentioned elsewhere that the net effects of his edits have been negative.) However I do feel I should clarify that the edits in question did not occur while the user was logged in, they were made by 212.219.57.60 (talk) (see WP:AN/I#212.219.57.60 / Wikiplayer13). At minimum, the editor has thus admitted to having used the same computer from which the edits were made. It is puzzling why the user would imply a compromised account, when there's really no indication that anything like this has occurred - again, the edits were made from an IP address. But he's the one making that claim. Also note that another IP associated with this account, 82.46.89.207 (talk), has previously vandalized our user pages when faced with various disagreements (for example, [1], [2], [3], [4]). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I got that- I even tracked down the ip in question to review, and there isn't really any question in my mind that it's the same person. I agree that WP:GOTHACKED doesn't exactly apply here, since he didn't make the inappropriate edits from his account. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:47, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome, FisherQueen, and local sourcing question please[edit]
added a new section in your humor essay "Friends of gays should not be allowed to edit articles" and checked your listed "LGBT rights in Benin" article in case it intersected with the Ouidah python cult there which I have been researching for a couple chapters of a near future novel series work in progress. In addition to any surveying you and colleagues might do through published law search, how might you encourage local community members to post fuller details in localities around the world for Wikipedia? As well as all other socioelect stuff? The pride, diversity, and identity drives which might be tapped may be beyond the habits of those who are or are not ordinary users in many places, if pointed out as worthwhile especially in areas where there are few regular surfers. Are there Wikipedia top down or grasroots "let's be noted in global Wikipedia" initiatives, other than long term effect of internet presence?
I did create a number of the LGBT rights in Africa nation-specific articles. I found that it was very difficult to find reliable sources of information. which is why they're so short- they contain all the sourced information I could find. Help from locals would indeed be useful, but only in adding information that is verified in published sources, since Wikipedia doesn't publish original research. I didn't write the 'Friends of gays' articles; I just have a link to it because I think it's funny. I don't know the answer to your question about the ways in which Wikimedia encourages participation from a variety of countries, because I live in the United States, and wouldn't be part of the target audience for such programs- there are already plenty of Americans around here. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:07, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I do not understand how the my briefs article was against the guidlines. As it is a one of a kind website providing a perspective not seen anywhere else in sports reporting
I deleted your article because I thought it was about a subject that didn't meet the notability criteria, but I'm open to the possibility that I was wrong. If you'll provide me with links to three articles that confirm this subject's notability, in newspapers, magazines, or significant online sources, I'd be happy to undelete the article, and I'll even add the sources to it so no one else will mistake it for an inappropriate article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:31, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
You can check the Website www.mybriefs.com. It is run by a syndicated sports columnist. Christopher Wilson has his own wikipage.
I luv soccer08 (talk) 06:27, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
You forgot the links to three newspaper articles, magazine articles, or significant online sources that are writing about the site, so I can't undelete it yet. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:50, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
FisherQueen, arms are not usually included in bio articles for chiefs or nobles in general. They stay in the main article. Xander and I included them simply because they are so nice. So there you have three. As for Irish heraldry, there was no image of that kind there before Xander added them. Personally I think that they should actually be replaced with less excellent artwork since Xander's talent might actually confuse visitors into thinking that is how Irish arms are typically drawn. In fact Irish arms are usually quite boring and they have just never greatly gotten into them on that island. Finally, for the main article on the O'Donovan family, there is another, very low quality .gif I did myself ages ago, which was the image before, and which can be used again. And I have another generic one or two to upload.
I will not be participating in the discussion at ANI because this is ridiculous. And I have no intention of interacting with that sort of character anywhere. I knew as soon as I got the repeated activity on my talk page... oh and that cute template or whatever you call it. lol. DinDraithou (talk) 23:50, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I don't really have an opinion on the images, myself. I just noticed that you were about to be blocked, and wanted to give you a chance to avoid it, by explaining what to do instead of repeatedly reverting. If consensus agrees with you that they should be removed, they will be. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:52, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I was about to be blocked? By what? As far as consensus, I disregard it and don't respect the opinions of just anyone on certain subjects. Don't we all? People who get bent out of shape over nothing, like this character, don't count. They have to be ignored. DinDraithou (talk) 00:18, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Well, me, for one- I was planning to block you if you reverted another image. In fact, I still am. If you don't agree with the consensus model at all, then you probably won't like Wikipedia, since that's one of Wikipedia's basic principles. I don't really know who you mean by 'this character,' since I only reviewed your edits. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Are you still, or are you again? Are you angry now or something? You haven't even responded to a point in my first post here on your talk page, yet you should, since you went ahead and restored the images. Anyway I doubt you're brave enough to block me for criticizing you a little: obviously you're just being a generic admin, and a lazy one. Can you do your job better and maybe offer an opinion so we can work towards consensus? (I've just read what you wrote below but this is fine for a response to both.) DinDraithou (talk) 00:55, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
You've misunderstood what an admin's job is. We don't referee content disagreements; we simply teach and enforce Wikipedia's rules. You seem to be testing to see how rude you can be to me before I block you for it. We try to avoid acting on our own feelings, or even giving the impression that we might be acting on our own feelings, so I won't block you for being rude to me personally- instead, I'll ask other administrators to review what I've said to you, and what you've said to me, and trust them to judge fairly. You seem to think that admins block out of anger; in general, we don't. I appreciate that you haven't removed the images again, and I'm sure, if that's important to you, that you'll discuss your reasons on the relevant talk page, or if that doesn't work, try some of the remedies at WP:DISPUTE. Remember, I'm the one who was trying to help you avoid being blocked- I'd be delighted if you started getting along better with other users, and gave up trying to start fights. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:08, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
FisherQueen, how about this? Since recommending to your partners that they review this discussion could be recommending one of them who simply doesn't care block me, and then I would really dislike you if that happened, why don't you not? I'm hardly vengeful, but you would, although you might not believe it, actually look a little bad if that happened. And no, I don't think admins usually block out of anger. Usually they do it when they need to, but sometimes they don't look into things as much as they should. Then if challenged human nature compels a few to defend themselves too aggressively. It is bound to happen. As far as what you think of my character and prospects and value to the community here it would be nice if you would stop. I find it borderline inappropriate now. Please resist the temptation. DinDraithou (talk) 01:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
I notice that ROUX did not begin a discussion, though. Instead, he ran right to posting an ANI. Rather silly, really. Perhaps if he was as cool headed as he demands others to be it could have gone a bit smoother. [talk]XANDERLIPTAK 00:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
You are, once again, not making statements which are congruent with reality. Please note the two diffs above where I attempted to engage DinDraithou in discussion. (1, 2). That was followed by a warning for edit warring. Only after that warning was blanked from DD's talkpage, the same way that DD blanked the attempts at discussion, did I take the problem to the noticeboard for editwarring. Please take more care to ensure that the statements you make are reflective of reality. → ROUX₪ 00:49, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
This edit contains a few errors. First, my talk page is not 'the place to be' to establish consensus regarding these images, because I don't care whether they stay or go at all. 'The place to be' is on the talk page of one of the articles affected by your desired changes, or, if that doesn't work, one of the places suggested at WP:DISPUTE. Second, I'm afraid you aren't 'sounding right important.' You're simply sounding like someone who doesn't really understand how Wikipedia works, and probably won't ever be willing to follow the rules- like hundreds of other users. I've seen similar editors in the past, and the most common outcome is that they get a series of blocks from editing, escalating in length, until ultimately they are permanently blocked. A less common, but possible, outcome is that they become inspired to follow the rules, and become useful, valuable members of the Wikipedia community. But because Wikipedia works only by people cooperating and working together, we really don't allow users who stir up fights and bad feelings to continue doing so for very long at all. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:41, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
I see you blocked User:VHarris44, giving as your reason "Personal attacks or harassment: New editor whose edits are to oppose one particular's contributions". The "one particular" is presumably User:Rangoon11. However, I notice that in a number of articles VHarris44 edited first, and only afterwards did Rangoon11 start editing, opposing VHarris44's edits. Consequently I do wonder about this block. Since discovering this for myself I have found that I am not alone in having doubts, as documented at User talk:TFOWR#Rangoon11's filing of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Codf1977 and his other actions yesterday. Perhaps you could have another look at your block. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:18, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
I did not block that user. I simply disabled his talk page, as is customary, after his third unblock request was declined. He was blocked by User:LessHeard vanU-FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:51, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, silly me: I just saw your name in the latest block log entry and didn't look further. Thanks for putting me right. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:22, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
As you were declining their request, I was disabling their talk page. I've left a note there, but feel free to undo my action to give them one more chance if you think they can handle it. Cheers! TNXMan 01:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
I am shocked, shocked, at this disregard for procedure. I will immediately reverse your action in eight days. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:47, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
In that case, expect a retaliatory arbitration motion regarding wheel-warring to be filed on the 31st of November. TNXMan 01:51, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
