Patty wack sock puppet

I have List of terrorist incidents, 2009‎ on my watchlist since I used to be the principal editor of the article. It is very likely Patty Wack is a sock of User:Jersay considering the similar Modus operandi (obsession with Somalia wars).

See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jersay/Archive for more info. I don't really feel like filing another sock report because I've already sent 2 to admin User:MBisanz which hasn't stopped Jersay from registering new names.

Premier Guitar

Cobaltbluetony:

BBrinson, author of "Premier Guitar" wiki page here--can you help me figure out what I need to do to get the page to meet standards so it remains up? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbrinson (talk • contribs) 21:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

CBT: Yes, some clarifications would be nice. Do you want me to pull up industry numbers? Reviews? Links to notable stories the magazine has run? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbrinson (talk • contribs) 14:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Spite?

I don't understand. I made the exact same change as before, removing the newline, made necessary by an error of the same template. Why do you think this time would be different? --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Please have another look at my talk page. I think there is some misunderstanding. --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:38, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Username MigraineTrust

Hello, I'm a bit new to this so am probably replying in the wrong way. I chose the username as it is the name of the charity I work for, I don't have a problem with changing it. I will read the guidelines on usernames (should have done that sooner)

Thanks, Kevin Dean

Indef IP blocks

Hello Cobaltbluetony. I've recently unblocked four IP addresses (72.81.41.247, 141.151.80.98, 70.110.177.127, 72.81.33.8) that you had indef-blocked. The simple fact that user keeps using new IP addresses makes it obvious that long term blocks are not appropriate. Let me know if I'm missing something. See WP:IPB for more information. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 15:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Understood. Let me know what you don't consider to be a long term for a block; or just make the adjustments yourself and let me know the suggested time for my future reference. Thanks. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 16:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I've set them so they'll all expire in a day. My rule of thumb is that if an IP address is used for only one editing session, over say an hour, then even if does the worst possible vandalism it should be blocked for no longer than a week. If you see the same user on a new IP address then the old one should be unblocked already, and the new one blocked for a similar time as the old one, but blocks of 24 or 31 hours are usually OK. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 16:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Categories in talk pages

Hi. You deleted Talk:Jason Beckford-Ball with G6. Well, the catogires added go there. I suggest you read instructions in Category:Date of birth missing (living people) carefully. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 09:18, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Many people want these intrcustions to change and put these categories back into the article pages. But it seems consensus changes very fast and very often about this subject! -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, yes...

"Wooper glue?" Clever, but not clever enough. Sounds like a hell of a good idea, though.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 14:52, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Dear Cobaltbluetony

Thank you for encouraging me.

I'll try to do my best and to contribute to the project.

I'd like to invite you to take a look on my user's page before I put it up.

Please write any observation that comes to your mind.

Thank you,

User:Okwomen

Hi! Just curious of how you think "Okwomen" violates the username policy, since you did not give any explanation at User talk:Okwomen. The user has provided an explanation for their name which seems plausible IMO. Questwolf (talk) 21:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

The user name represents a group of people (women) not a single person (suggesting a group account, prohibited under WP:USERNAME). Additionally, the user has used "Women of the Oklahoma Legislature Project--OSU Library" as a reference, now in an additional article, and I want to make sure that the user is not an SPA. The template notice is the standard way to elicit a response from the user to determine the nature of their interest in Wikipedia. It is not a censure or warning at all.

The template message asks the user to read the user name policy. IMO, the user seems to have done just so, and offered a sensible explanation, alleviating my concerns. Thank you, though, for acting as a balancing voice. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! The reason I was confused was that you hadn't used the reason parameter for the template to specify what the concern was, and "Okwomen" looked fine by itself. I now understand that the problem was that the user was a possible SPA or role account, which is indeed a valid concern. In cases like this where things aren't obvious at first glance, it could be useful to add a reason to the username warning template to let the user (and others) know specifically what the concern with the username is. Thanks for the explanation, I'm glad we could clear this up! Questwolf (talk) 15:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Usually a reason can be specified by writing {{subst:uw-username|your reason here}} (or by using the reason field in Twinkle, if you use that). Questwolf (talk) 17:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

re:StarChamp

Thanks for the heads up, from my glance at the history it only looked like there was one declined speedy (A1) on the basis of being an incorrect tag. I agree, its definitely not A7 material due to their supposed clients, but without some sources (which I was unable to locate) I'm not sure if there's any way to de-spamify it. - 2 ... says you, says me 19:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Don't restore removed comments

Per Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments, I will have to ask you to stop edit warring on my talk page to restore comments, as it is a form of harassment. Please use better judgment in the future, and remember that being an admin does not excuse uncivil behavior. DreamGuy (talk) 17:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring refers to the restoration of deleted text and vice versa. The only thing I restored in my comments to you was the header. Calm yourself, please. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Your edit (as seen here) clearly restored more than a header. You restored deleted text, which is, as even you admitted, edit warring. It was also a violation of WP:DRC. Because you insist on posting to my talk page to try to excuse your behavior despite already being told that such actions are unwelcome, I am now explicitly informing you that you are no longer allowed to post there per the bold text at the top. Do not post to my talk page again until you stop misrepresenting the nature of your edits and apologize for your uncivil behavior. DreamGuy (talk) 18:48, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

The notability criterion

Hi Cobaltbluetony,

Following your speedy deletion of almost most of the comments made about notability and the inappropriate means through which you and your colleagues deleted the references and even that independent film festival, I did a little bit of research on your wikipedia pages. Turns out there is a whole section of microbreweries listed that do not meet the notability criteria. I would like to nominate most if not all for a speedy deletion. Otherwise please explain to me and the rest of the reading public how those listings - which are nothing short of a yellow page advertising sheet - are notable?????? I will post this comment at the D'ark Night Film Festival deletion discussion page since you guys were so zealous in wiping out most of the comments that made sense out of the discussion. I will monitor your progress and in the absence of a satifactory and consistent conduct this issue may be brought forth to the attention of a major news outlet. Thanks and keep up the good work. I will keep a box of kleenex tissue ready for you in case you need it.

Midnight Sun Brewing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Sun_Brewing_Company

Wild Rose Brewery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Rose_Brewery

Cricket Hill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_Hill

and there are many more. Please do your homework before hacking someone else's work. I left a similar message for Ckatz since he/she started this entire "notable" business. Be sure to convey this issue to Wiki managers because it may seem outlandish but it is serious if you consider how companies and businesses will view this kind of criteria and its impact throughout Wikipedia. All the best!

Dame Doris Taylor

Hi, Tony. Can you please delete Dame Doris Taylor?? This redirect was created by mistake. Doris Taylor (aka Doris Madeline Brock; aka Doris Madeline Brock Taylor) was never a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (aka DBE). Her name was mistaken for the similarly named Madeline Dorothy Brock, who is a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE), but who has no connection to the Taylor family. Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 11:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Criticism of the Anti-Defamation League

Koopa Band.

Hello, I am wholly unsure why you, and the previous mod seem insistent that this article is kept factually incorrect. My last edit is 100% true, and I was exceptionally careful to not 'promote' and talk factually. I only edited the sections that were incorrect. Please advise my what you feel I might be able to do next?

Rather than rubbish like the band are unsigned, I would rather the page was taken down completely. The band have 3 record deals! Thanks, jon@brilliantmusic.biz (Tommytomato (talk) 16:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC))

did you just cut cheese BlueCobaltTony?

RE: your message on my talk page If you feel that an article does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, feel free to prod it or take to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. It is not possible for a core of responsible editors and administrators to fix every problem in a time frame acceptable to you, so feel free to do it yourself, because this is a wiki, meaning anyone can help! Cheers and Happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC) did you just cut cheese BlueCobaltTony?

Dear BlueCobaltTony,

Do you know how long I have been using Wikipedia and how long these particular pages (the mircrobrewery beer pages listed in the directory) have been published without being challenged for notability by any Wikipedia editor? How is it they were moved from the editing phase into publication without being reviewed for notability by an editor and subsequently scheduled for deletion? Supposedly there are guidelines for a review PROCESS and pages do not get published without a senior editor MOVING them from editing phase into final approval phase. So when a novice like points out these pages it means they were glossed over and someone looked the other way for these businesses while you guys made a scene for the comments I posted because they did not please a certain someone. Did you also know it is common knowledge for some how all these guidelines are used to censor content to only present some information while voiding others? Do you read some of the comments from other editors at Wikipedia? I thank you for the token response that I can use next time I need to use the washroom - for my cheeks of course.

thank you and question

Thank you for your message on my talk and the offer to ask a question. I do have one. I posted an article and it was immediately deleted by Tnxman, citing unambiguous advertising as the reason. I did a lot of research before (both on the topic and on how to create an article) and felt I was complying. I do cite particular companies but only because they are the only ones able to use this particular method. Is that wrong? I am happy not to do that if that is the breaking point. What else can I do differently? Thanks ever so much. DeepMatters (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Arthur Kade

I saw nothing resembling an assertion of actual notability, only a person who is desperately striving to become so locally obnoxious as to constitute a perverse sort of notability, at least in his home town. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:22, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, CobaltBlueTony! Thank you for the welcome note!

Deletion

maybe an edit conflict - I was intending to delete the main article, not a redirect. The article is largely plagiarised from the ECRI website and seems promotional in tone, but I'd like your feedback before I take further action jimfbleak (talk) 15:03, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I've made a couple of tweaks, but another edit conflict, so I'll leave it now jimfbleak (talk) 15:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Block of Polaron

Hi. Unless I'm missing something, it seems Nyttend (talk · contribs) violated the 3RR as well, but only Polaron was blocked. I'm not looking to get Nyttend in trouble, but it just seems a bit unfair. Thanks, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I've lifted the block on both of these users, as Polaron says he's willing to stop editing and talk things over and Nyttend seems to have gotten the point as well. I'll keep an eye on both in the meantime. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi. For what it's worth, I had warned both users about 3RR (although they both had clearly violated the 3RR rule) in hopes that a warning would be sufficient to induce these two experienced and usually-responsible contributors to end their edit war. I would not quarrel with your decision to block, though -- this was a judgment call, and all's well that ends well (as this did). --Orlady (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your encouraging thoughts. I try not to act unless the need is immediate, or the policy violations are rather evident. In this case, though, the only value to the block seems, to me at least, to be a warning that such won't [likely] be tolerated in the future, even if they did 'cease and desist' before I got my lazy fingers to the keyboard. ;-) - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

User:Mcmanus1992

After a bit of investigation, I found 12.153.10.220 (talk · contribs) is almost certainly (one of) Mcmanus1992 (talk · contribs)'s school addresses. Wanted you to have the info in case he makes good on the threat. Sorry if my formatting isn't perfect, but I tried. I do not like vandalism at all on Wikipedia, and my new motto as of late is - paraphrasing Bugs Bunny - "Of course you know this means war". TristaBella (talk) 23:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I tweaked the above for my own benefit; hope you don't mind. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:55, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely no problem. I am not as good at formatting these links as I would like to be, and it was one of those moments when I did not have enough time to go get an example to use. I do hope the info is helpful to you. Cheers, TristaBella (talk) 23:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

i am not threatining anything or anyone. i have read all these articles i am a long time member just on a different account. i run a wikia site. what is wrong with this article there are no new theories being published this is a biography of a NOTABLE man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hckiv (talk • contribs) 15:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

User:Hckiv

I support the block and hope Hckiv takes the time to review the necessary policies. I have deleted the most recent "article" he created at his user page due to some of the identifying information given. (I've replaced your 31-hour protection of that page as well.) I absolutely agree that the block is preventative, that the user would have continued creating the page by any means possible. —C.Fred (talk) 16:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
