You blocked this user the other week, but you might like to know that he's still editing as User:Simorgh7007 and created an article, As-Sayyid Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani Al Haqqani Al Rabbani, which I put up for speedy deletion since he's supposed to be blocked and because there's already an article on the guy at Hisham Kabbani which is far more balanced.--Strothra 02:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Progress update on Steam (content delivery)

Hey. So we've been hard at work over at Talk:Steam (content delivery) to get a cleaned-up version of the page. Could you swing by and take a look at it, and perhaps give us some feedback on how we can improve the page further? Thanks! — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 21:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Page Protection

Since only admins can protect or semi-protect a page I think you or someone admin should protect the nudity page, that page has heavy vandilism. OmegaSpacePirate 23:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed that you did not block the above user. I wanted to talk to you about your decision, because I disagree with it. The letter of the rule states that no username can "closely resemble the name of another Wikipedia user" because it "may cause confusion." User:Ksy9200 compared to User:Ksy92003, that is too close for comfort for me. Your basis for your decision was "rm Ksy9200 (no edits since July 2007, probably not impersonator)." Although I understand the second part, about being an impersonator (I only added that because I have suspicions that it may be User:Starwars1955) but the first part, that the user hasn't edited since July 2007, is what confuses me. I do not see anywhere under WP:UN that says that because the account hasn't edited for a while, that a block is not in order. Say we found a username that slipped through the cracks that was antisemitic, racist, sexist, etc, and that account hadn't edited in a while, wouldn't a block still be in order? Also, remember blocks are preventative measures that are there to help stop damage to Wikipedia before it happens. Another point that I would like to make, which was the basis for my "impersonator" comment, was what do you think the odds would be that a new person creating an account would randomly pick "Ksy9200." I think those are very big odds. I hope you will rethink your decision, and if not, then heck I will still watch the user in question. I hope I don't sound rude or anything like that, I just wanted to pick your brain about your decision :P Keep up the good work and good luck editing!

P.S. I will not be able to respond to you until late tonight or tomorrow, as I am leaving after I save this comment

Thanks for the response, I guess it would be better just to watch the user. Thanks for your time.

Fujifabric page cutoff

Hi, I'm have a bit of a technical dilemma regarding the Fujifabric article (I'm sorry if your not the person to come to for this type of problem). Anyway, I've edited the page numerous times but after editing the page earlier most of the information is being cut off. I previewed the page and just thought it was a glitch that would be solved after saving but that didn't seem to happen, it remained cutoff leaving off a lot of sections. I'm not sure if it's just me that can't see the entire page or if it's genuinely glitched. Also if you go to edit the page all the sections are visible in the editing space, it just doesn't save with all the information. I'm stumped at to what the problem could be so any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Pinkpineapple 03:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I found the problem (I was missing the ending code for a reference tag). ---- Pinkpineapple (talk) 21:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Looking to edit the bio: Robb Montgomery

Hello, I got a message from a professor at the University of Westminster (UK) asking me to contribute to a biography he had started of Visual Editors founder, Robb Montgomery. After looking in vain for the piece, I have ended up here. Will you please allow me to contribute and annotate this article about Montgomery? He is an important figure among professional editors. Thank you. 67.76.254.219 (talk) 15:22, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Katie. Sorry to bug you again, but I think we're at the end of the revisioning process for the Steam page. I've asked a bunch of times for other people to find sources since I can't find any others, but no one has responded. There are a number of sentences that don't have citations on them, and I don't think we will find citations for them. In that case, should the sentences be removed? And now that we're basically done with revisions, where do we go from here? Thanks! — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 18:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.
