Sockpuppetry

Dear Mike Rosoft,

I write here just to inform you that User:Green Owl (whom you briefly blocked) is a sockpuppet of an infamous wikipest accostumed to stalk wikiprojects with multiple accounts - Here is known also as User:Flavio.brandani and User:succhiacazzo). His modus operandi shown here ("it was my brother") is an old trick of his - another one is a blatant melodramatic selfaccusation and promise of repentance. Obviously you don't have to blindly believe me, on it.wiki our GoodFaith created such damage that we are monitoring his recurrent reincarnations, and more than a year after his infinite ban we collected suspect and evidence which led to this. This user (one month ago we proved that User:Flavio.brandani and Utente:leopardo planante Leopardo were the same user) has currently the following list of sockpuppets around the wikiworld.

Just for your awareness... - εΔω (but in case of doubt ask to Jollyroger too). —Preceding unsigned comment added by OrbiliusMagister (talk • contribs) 08:36, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Could article Inchies be reinstated since deletion was while editing and citations in progress?

Howdy there! I submitted an article on Inchies, and questions were made as to whether it was an actual art format and/or form since no "real" articles were written on it. I was in the process of editing the article when - upon reviewing it - I noticed you had gone ahead and deleted it for being "spam." Would you please reconsider allowing its posting and/or reversing the deletion? I have two recent magazine articles to cite in my backing of it, and while I'm new to adding Wikipedia articles, but I truly believe that my article "inchies" would be a valuable resource for other artists.

Thanks so much :-)

I understand your concern, we are working to correct the problem

Regarding the "Gmod Network" post

This is the first time we've posted on Wikipedia and didn't fully understand how articles ought to be written. Upon reviewing our post - we see that there were indeed elements of advrtisment and are working to rewrite the article. We will continue to edit the post until it complies with Wikipedia's standards. Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.210.153 (talk • contribs) 21:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove Tobias's reply? He may be banned, but I think he has the right to reply on his talk page to his "farewell message" at least, as long as he doesn't attack anyone. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 22:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Im going to re create the Shane Van Gisbergen article, but I'll do it in my own words this time.

Thank You for not deleting the Shane Van Gisbergen article. Maybe some body else can expand it, this is my first time on Wiki, and im not shore on how to use every thing.

User talk:象棋高手 (TOR node)

Hi, I see you unblocked User:66.199.184.254 (the TOR exit node) per WP:TOR. Apparently there was a change in the page 2 days ago to add the softblock part. Personally I'm a bit concerned that unblocking a tor node is exactly like unblocking an open proxy, since in both cases we are allowing legit users and vandals to edit completely anonymously (our WP:RFCU regulars use both). Do you know if there happened to be a change in the concensus or a discussion to refer myself to? If we all start to wheel-war about that, this is going to be a rough day :p -- lucasbfr talk 10:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I somehow forgot to try and check Wikipedia talk:No open proxies when I was trying to find an answer. -- lucasbfr talk 11:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a speedy delete attack tag to this article that you put up for AfD. I believe that, due to the nature of the article, it should be immediately deleted. If you disagree, I ask that you delete the edit history prior to my last edit, under WP:BLP. Thank you. KP Botany 21:54, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just spotted another VWG sock from March

Alfa-alibista (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - performed the same vandalism that Nový nýmand (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) did to Ron Dellums back in March but has yet to be blocked.

In addition, there's another account Chce se mi spát (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) that is blocked but not yet listed on your vandal descripton page. I also suggest that you modify the third specialty description to something like "Vandalism of African-American related pages (such as Mumia Abu-Jamal and Portal:African American/Intro), replacing the subject's image with that of a gorilla.", since the March episode shows that he has clearly moved beyond MAJ to other African-American subjects as well. 68.161.106.223 20:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't believe CheckUser will yield any meaningful results on Alfa-alibista, as this sock made only two edits, all back in March (which is more than one month before today), so I suggest that you withdraw the CU request on this one. 68.161.106.223 17:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TOR proxies

I understand that you have been converting hard blocks on TOR proxies into soft blocks. I'd like to urge you not to do so. The problem is that pretty much all the long-term vandals know about using TOR to continue editing. They are able to use these proxies to continue their abusive sockpuppeteering. Many end up being blocked as the result of checkuser requests. I freely admit that there is no firm consensus one way or another. However, I am involved with tracking down and blocking a few long-term vandals and so I fall firmly in the hard-block-TOR-proxies camp. I am not trying to dictate to you here; if you disagree, I'd love to briefly discuss. --Yamla 20:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mike Rosoft/Vandal with a grudge

The page has been protected and all, so I couldn't do it, shouldn't you add Category:Long term abuse to the page? Just a suggestion. Cheers, JetLover (talk) 21:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On abusive DL

Hello Mike! When you tag an article with DB, you might first read the article, second politely ask its creator about its notability. Rue 89 is of course notable. If you had taken the time to read first before clicking on your mouse, you would have seen, first, that it was founded by former journalists of Libération — I'm sure you're not familiar with the context of France, but this is, by itself, an event. Second, less than a week after its opening, it already published a scoop on the kind of censorship going on in France right now. Third, it is the translation of a French Wiki article. Fourth, it recently published another scoop concerning a false interview of Barrack Obama signed by Alexis Debat, a so-called "expert" famous in Washington DC. I hope this clears your mind, cheers!

Deletion of Irish Stew of Sindidun

Hi, you've speed-deleted an article on a Serbian band Irish Stew of Sindidun. While I realise they aren't "significant" compared to bands that are world-wide famous, I have to say they are quite significant in local terms (not local as in one city, but local as in the whole Balcan peninsula). They are one of the most famous alternative Serbian bands right now, very important for the alternative music scene in Serbia. They have released one album, which was quite successful, and the second album will be out in a couple of months. Their fanbase is largish, they've toured all over the country, played on festivals, and they've won two prises. I took a look at the 'Serbian musical groups category [1] - and I saw a number of bands I haven't even heard of (and I'm kinda into music and kinda follow the local scene quite intently). Those articles were allowed to stay. Yet, everyone around here knows of Irish Stew, and their article has been deleted.

I do realise they aren't known outside the region, really (except to a few enthusiasts... like, say, folk on the Paddy Rock Radio). But in the more local terms, they are well-known (and well loved). Could you please reconsider the decision about the deletion?

I'm not a member of the band, and this is not self-promotion. I just admire their work and think they deserve an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dieda (talk • contribs) 16:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moshpit Tragedy Records

Hello, I am wondering how I may have the dispute over Moshpit Tragedy Records settled. Interview snippets, references, quotes, even an mp3 segment from a radio show talking about the labels free downloads have been included.

Thanks for looking into things

Thanks for looking into the whole Yell&Ice/The ted issue. For the article I just wanted a second set of eyes to look into it to see if it met notability criteria or not. I thought that the (now deleted) "db-song" template was policy. As for "The ted," I wanted someone to look into what he might have done, since he had clearly violated policy twice and had possibly done so again in a worse way, but I didn't quite know where to report it. I'll use WP:ANI next time. Thanks again.  :-) -- HiEv 19:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The CLARION cognitive architecture page

M. Rosoft,

Please reconsider your decision of deleting the CLARION cognitive architecture wikipedia page. CLARION is a valid model in psychology and artificial intelligence that has been the subject of roughly 50 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. It is also mentioned in the SOAR cognitive architecture page on wikipedia. You can also look at the CLARION project page ([6]) or the creator of CLARION's webpage ([7]). Professor Ron Sun, who created the CLARION model, will be awarded the Hebb award by the International Neural Networks Society next year for this important contribution ([8]).

Thank you veru much.

Deleting article on medicinal cannabis treatments: Bedrocan

Hello Mark , The items below were deleted by you this evening: 21:34, 3 October 2007 Mike Rosoft (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Bedrocan" ‎ (Article has been deleted) 21:34, 3 October 2007 Mike Rosoft (Talk | contribs) deleted "Bedrocan" ‎ (Spam)

I can see that you marked the article Bedrocan as (SPAM), and would like a more elaborate explaination, if that's possible. In the article "Talk:Bedrocan" I offered a detailed response to the initial addition of the article to the candidate for speedy deletion list. It was subsequently suggested by another user that 'notability is the question here'. REgardless, all of the text is now gone. Could you explain this to me please? thanks

Deletion of Bedrocan

Yes, I was looking up the notability pages after it was cited as a potential candidate for notability by Cobaltbluetony. There was indeed a suggested tag for candidacy for speedy deletion. However, I complied with that tag by requesting a "holdon" notice and starting a talk page.

My talk page included this text, wouldn't that normally deserve a response or notice to update the work before removal? Barentsz 22:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and, I read the guidelines for sysops when deleting : (sysops ) Simply deleting a page does not automatically delete its talk page (or any subpages). If you wish to delete these as well, do them first, and then the main page.

In the log, you deleted the main page first, and afterward, you deleted the talk page later. Why did you do this in a manner contrary to that specified in your sysop guidelines?

Thank you, Barentsz 22:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for posting the text on bedrocan.

In the guidelines I found tips on how it may be adapted to either other articles or a re-formulation / retitling of the original article. It should have been named Cannabis Flos, and was better suited to an existing page.

Thegathering2009

I would like some advice in regards to this editor. I noticed his name on my watchlist because he had added an external link to the Scottish clan article---an external link for the event to which his name refers. In fact, all of his edits have been additions of links for said event. He also created an article for the event, but it was speedied. His name would seem to violate the username policy that bans names of a "promotional" nature. At the same time, his intent does not seem to be to promote a product or a service from which he gains profit, but rather to promote an event. What should be done in this case? I would like to know your opinion. Thanks for your time. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 17:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still, could you look at http://obdmf.freeforums.org/ and tell me what part of the methodology hasn't been validated? If you cannot refute the methodology, then maybe the problem is that my entry needs a different name and belongs in a different place in Wikipedia. Can you advise me as to 1) what type of study this should be described as, and also 2) if and where in Wikipedia a study involving this type of methodology belongs?

Article on History - Carmen, San Agustin, Romblon

Hello, you deleted my article on the history of Carmen, San Agustin, Romblon on November 9 at 10:26, and was deleted again twice by Woohookitty on the same date at 00:18 on reasons of 'Probable copyright violation: Included a copied table of contents' while I was in the process of editting the said article, and since I do not know how to make a table, I copied the table of contents found at Antipolo city article with the purpose of using the table of contents only and replacing it with our own historical account. The contents of this article was very relivant that I believed would be a valuable source of information on local history to benefit both students in the primary and secondary schools in Carmen and even among college students doing their theses. In fact school heads had already integrated the teaching of local history in schools. Another reason for deletion was that I was the only contributor of this article signed as Taga_Guinpucan. Yes, but it is too early to say that. I just started a day ago and the following day it was gone. We should have invited contributors for at least a week.

Would you please consider allowing its posting and reversed the previous deletion? The article is the only source of historical information in this remote village located in the Tablas island, in Romblon province, on reasons that no on other historical materials are available in the community and our only source of information is the wikipedia. I do hope that wikipedia will continue to serve its purpose in changing and educating the world.

Hortus Musicus article deletion

Hi,

Today you have deleted my contribution for Hortus Musicus article. Regarding the text, it was copied from http://www.concert.ee/index.php?sisu=tekst&mid=305&lang=eng but I checked that web site and they do not restrict copying of the materials provided there. I could understand your action if they would contact you and ask for deletion, but if they agree, why do you delete? Moreover, the earliest recordings part (LPs produced by "Melodiya" in 70's) was COMPLETELY MINE! So please restore the article and make only the cension of parts you do not like, but not the whole article.

If authors would have left any contact info on their site, I would certainly contact them, but as you can see, there is neither emil address nor even article author's name :-( And still, having something is better than having nothing, so if i copy the list of members from that site, will it violate any copyrights? Sure there is no way to list the members using other words :-)


> From what I have gathered from your message, the section "Earlier recordings" hasn't been taken from the website, so I am reproducing it here:...

Why "here" and not on the appropriate page from where you have deleted it previously?

BTW, it is a bit unclear for me if how do users like you get the right to delete other's posts? Are you Wikipedia admins? If yes, how did you become such? And how much you are, and how do you divide the administration areas between you? And if you are responsible for certain areas, why don't you fill the missing pages by yourself?

Re:Response

Hi again and thanks for the clarifications. Still wondering if how do you separate the areas of administration among admins? This is really unclear if why do I every time get modifications by different people, even if they do belong to the same subject? It would be much easier to deal with only one responsible person...

Nexen Inc - Updates

Hi Mike/Everyone,

I came across our company page and noticed that everything posted was completely wrong, right down to who our CEO is. I am trying to update it so that it is at least true and factual. An accurate base for people to add to. The information I have posted is straight from the company website. I believe in the fundamentals of wikipedia and would like to ensure our information is at least accurate. Please let me know what I can do, or not do, to ensure the garbage is kept out?

Sincerly,

Nexen

An IP was editing this article, and while on RC patrol, I came across the very large blanking, and reverted it, (as did ClueBot a number of times). As I was unaware you had been in discussion with a representative/employee (formerly User:Nexeninc) of Nexen, I warned the IP in question for blanking. The editor logged in, blanked it again, and ClueBot reverted them. After explaining WP:COI to them, they pasted that you had suggested a previous version be reverted to, so this is what I have done. If I was informed incorrectly, please let me know, or feel free to undo my actions. I did check, and it does appear that you had reverted it once already as a COI/Spam edit, so that is the revision I reverted to. However, the editor in question continues to edit, despite an obvious COI, so I will leave this to you to decide if they are editing in accordance with the COI guideline or not, as you're more familiar with the situation, if that's alright with you.

Television Without Pity

Last week, I added links to Television Without Pity's episode recaps to the External Links sections of several specific pages. For example, I added a link to "Chuck episode recaps on Television Without Pity" to the "Chuck" page.

I was then blocked for "spamming" and given several warnings from you and your colleagues, who referred to TWOP as a fan site or my personal blog.

Television Without Pity is not a blog or a fan site. It is a professionally run website that provides in-depth episode recaps for popular shows. It is owned by NBC Universal.

TWOP's competitors include TV.com, TVGuide.com, and AOL Television -- all of these sites have links in the External Links area on pages about specific shows. Why can't TWOP?

Please advise. Thank you.

See Wikipedia:Help desk#changing AIBA logo and Wikipedia:Help desk#changing AIBA logo 2 (the latter section incorrectly refers to "11th November" but means the former section from 11th December). I'm not an administrator and haven't seen the uploaded image but http://www.aiba.org/ indicates that the logo currently at International Boxing Association is obsolete. Will you kindly sort it out? PrimeHunter (talk) 12:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for restoring the image (and sorry for linking to it without : in front when it was deleted). I certainly think only the new logo should be on Wikipedia, but my Wikipedia connection has problems currently and cannot display images, so I don't want to add something I cannot see.

Men's movement in India

Hi. The redirect page Men's movement in India is not necessary as Men's movement and Men's rights movement are not same. Please delete it. It can mislead people. Thanks. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 10:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does this need to be empty still? It's kind of annoying having it sit there with no content for so long. --Closedmouth (talk) 10:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, no, I don't care about the article itself, It's just that it's been sitting in short pages for so long it was starting to annoy me :P --Closedmouth (talk) 12:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert back to the BLP violation version of this article? I've been trying to get it cleaned up, and I see that the anon is also involved in the same thing, but nobody has seen fit to even address it at WP:BLPN. I don't want to edit war over it, but Propol has gone beyond 3RR today. Corvus cornixtalk 05:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Theft Auto Wikia

Hi, I noticed you prodded Brown Streak with the rationale, "Copied from Grand Theft Auto Wikia (which is - as far as I know - under GFDL); Wikipedia is not a game guide)" - for future reference, it is not actually GFDL, see here: [10], so it could probably be speedied under G12.

Boat ambulances images

Is the image from Norway fair to keep ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.54.243.107 (talk) 14:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you think an image of a Boat ambulance from Norway isn't too hard to find you was right to delete it. Unfortunately I cannot upload any other pics like that one. Thank you

Thanks

Thanks for unblocking me. I will take your advice and change my name, though I would just as soon merge this account back into User:Okiefromokla if possible. The only problem is I have no idea what the password for that account is anymore (and I didn't have the email feature enabled). Is there any way to do merge accounts and change passwords? Okiefromokla's sockpuppet/talk 18:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright... I got help from someone that went ahead and changed my name. Thanks, though. Okiefromokla's sockpuppet/talk 01:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Okiefromokla (talk • contribs) [reply]

Dark Alex deletion

It appears you deleted a page I started on Dark Alex. Please can you confirm if this correct and if so give the reasons for this. While I cannot speak for anyone that has added to the page, it was well referenced and followed all wikipedia conventions when I created it. If it has been vandalised then it simply needed putting back to it's previous state. I understand previous versions of the page (by other editors) were deleted for lack of referenced content, so when I created my version I was careful to follow wiki's guidelines.

Tom Faulkner (music) deleted

Hello. Last week I having received a copy of an excellent album by Tom Faulkner I was interested to find out a little more about the artist. Having found that the only Wikipedia entry for Tom Faulkner was a very obscure cricketer, I thought it might help others in my situation to start an entry on the singer. Having taken the trouble to put this together I was a little disappointed to discover that it was taken straight off (within a couple of days anyway, I'm not a daily "regular") without any discussion. If this Tom Faulkner is not noteworthy, then surely the cricketer isn't either, nor dozens of other people listed on the Wikipedia, but before I could post a "hangon" the article was already gone. Do you think you could re-instate it, please? I have no vested personal interest in this individual except that I had needed such information so assume that in the futures others might do too. Meanwhile good on you for at least checking what's happening in the Wikiworld and best wishes, M. Malikbek (talk) 19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Alex

I am hereby notifying you that I have started the deletion review procedure. Quite why you appear to spend so much time looking for articles to delete is really beyond me, since this contravenes the whole purpose of an encyclopaedia. Wikipedia has deletion procedures intended for pages which are of no value, for example if someone makes a page about themself or their friends. However, looking at this talk page it would appear you delete anything you have not heard of or you do not understand. For someone relatively new to wikipedia, having to try to justify the value of an article to somebody that clearly has no interest in it seems like an unnecessary burden. If you bought an encyclopaedia in paper form, would you rip out all of the pages of articles you were not interested in?

I also think deleting the page without having informing me of your intention so that we could debate it was rude and inconsiderate of you. I would, however, like to that you for responding to my previous comment that I left on your talk page so quickly.

Yes, the previous Dark AleX page was removed and I have not seen it, but my understanding was that it was virtually empty and almost entirely unreferenced. The Dark Alex page I made was well referenced and was nothing like how the original deleted page was described to me.

Deletion Review for Dark Alex

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Dark Alex. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Skip1337 (talk) 20:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for putting the page back up so it can be discussed. Sorry if I sounded aggressive earlier, it's just a bit upsetting when you join a website because there is one article you want to write, then your one article gets taken down without you knowing.

Second chance for User talk:Whyareyoualive

He made some edits, I denied the unblock. My denial was partly based on his original block, his edit history, and his responses to you after the block, but also because the edits he proposed weren't "well-researched" since they added no references. I'm not really asking for a review of my action, but I always have a hard time with "second chance" cases because I'm never clear what is being asked for. A non-vandalism edit? Knowledge of the core policies? Or evidence that the user could be a great rather than an average contributor? Could you take a look at his edits and let me know what your response would have been?

Hi Mike,

The username of Adminster (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who you blocked a long time ago for a username violation before unblocking them shortly after, has been brought up for discussion at WP:RFCN. I know you probably don't remember the block or any subsequent discussions, but I wanted to stop by and let you know the discussion was ongoing in case you wanted to drop by and provide any insight.
