Barbaro hoaxer again
They showed up and got 14 more socks blocked. However, one of the socks, even though their talk page says they have been indefinitely blocked [1] is no longer blocked. [2] The admin who unblocked them did not realize they were under investigation as sock and says they have no problem with a reblock. [3] Edward321 (talk) 15:26, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: "Voynich Manuscript at FAR"
My real work has kept me away from Wikipedia for long periods of time, and only now I saw yor note on my talk page about the featured article review of Voynich Manuscript. I believe I was one of the editors who most contributed to that article, and possibly my edits were responsible for bringing it to FA status. I was a bit disappointed to see that it got demoted, presumably after a straw poll among a small random (but not necessarily unbiased!) sample of editors — even before I had a chance to know about the review. Unfortunately that discussion itself has long been deleted, and of course it would be quite pointless to try to do anything about it now. May I only ask, what did Wikipedia gain, concretely, with all that action?
Sigh. It is sad to see such a wonderful idea like Wikipedia being slowly destroyed by creeping bureaucratization. I find myself spending an increasing amount of time reacting to the actions of a small army of self-appointed vigilantes whose "contributions" have been mainly to tag, classify, grade, downgrade, request, disparage, and ultimately delete other peoples careful and valuable contributions. As if that were not enough, many of those bureaucrats use robots to impose their views on thousands of articles. More often than not, a mindless click of the mouse by one of those people forces a plain editor to spend from several minutes to severa hours, just to restore the article to its original state.
I am not paid to help wikipedia; I do it because it feels good — or rather it felt good, now I am not so sure.
Please, if you run across an article that needs improvement, try to improve it, or at least explain in the article's talk page what you think is wrong, dubious, dangerous, etc.. If you can't do that, or don't have the time for it, just leave the article alone. Do not demand that someone else do work that you don't have the time to do yourself. Do not demand that authors defend their work immediately under pain of having it deleted. Do not force authors to read some central bulletin board, or tell them to read hundreds of pages of Wikipedia rules and discussions. They did their part of the work; they are under no obligation to do more, or even to defend it. Those who want more work should do it themselves, and be prepared to justify their actions, case by case, on the article's talk pages.
Well, sorry for the rant, but I must get it off my chest. Please think it over, and get out of that depressing Vogonsphere while you can. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 14:19, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Nishkid64, happy holidays. Since you've watched the cases on this persistent troll and ranged blocked their underlying IPs back to January, could you look into this new SPI case mainly against 青鬼よし (talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log · edit summaries)? Their edit summaries/writing style|interests/disruptive patterns are all identical, and I think I've given too much opportunities to the sockpuppeter for a long time even though I've sensed that 青鬼よし is Azukimonaka ever since he registered his "new account". Moreover, according to the expose by 青鬼よし, himself, their email address is also identical, and they operated a blog dedicated to harass me, wikistalked my edits, and canvass other Japanese socks/editors to encourage to meatpuppet. If you're bored with the holiday weekends, would you care to look into the case? Also I'm wondering why this request is not automatically shown up yet. --Caspian blue 05:53, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Abu Kalam Azad
Good evening dear VirtualSteve,
I want to complain about some Users who vandalize many articles on Wikipedia and push their own POV´s on them. Some of them are Users like User:Ketabtoon who begin to edite all articles that is somehow related with Afghanistan, it´s people or culture, despite he has no knowledge about Afghanistan and it´s history. If you look on his contributions, you will see that he is always pushing unsourced and unreliable datas on articles and delete scientific and reliable sources, mostly scholarely. Be it about Ghurids, Persian language, Afghanistan, Ghaznavids or Tajiks and many more. He corrupts many articles which is a break of Wikipedia´s law (f.ex. here 1 or 2, 3 only three of many hundred of examples). He was many times reported but somewho he still occur on Wikipedia, although all his edites were banned by many Admins. The further point is, that he is known for beeing an ultra-nationalist Pashtun from Pakistan, who do not accept western, mostly scholaric and objective sources, except sources were terms like Afghan are used, so he can jump up and use it in a wrong context. For example as for Ghaznavids or Ghurids he was keeping the term for Pushtuns, while the term Afghan was used in Britannica for the Tajik people of modern Afghanistan who are also known by the law of Afghanistan as Afghans. He makes use of this point to claim and falsify all articles about culture, history, languages, countries etc. I ask you, as a member of the Admin-Team of Wikipedia and as a represant who is doing this job to provide the world the knowledge it needs, to do something against him. He and the User:119.73.4.199 (who is a banned User and a sock of many banned accounts; User:Khampalak, User:NisarKand etc.) are known for working with eachother. All edites of both Users are not only similar, but to 100% exactly the same, the kind of their writings and the kind how they push their POV´s and even the choise of their not reliable sources. As I mentioned they work together...or User:Ketabtoon is a sockpuppet of NisarKand, User:Khampalak etc. Wikipedia would be exonarated when the Admins would block and ban them from editing. As long Wikipedia accept them, articles will turn to slippery goods on Wikipedia and lose their accurate values.
For ca. 1 year ago, I was reading an article about Abul Kalam Azad, an Indian Muslim politician of Tajik origine. However, the article was using the term Afghan to tie him with Afghanistan, since his ancestors were from Herat, Afghanistan, a Persian/Tajik city. I was looking for sources on library and on the Net to exchange the term Afghan with Perian (Tajik). When I found them, I used a few of them. But some days later, the article was falsified by the User:119.73.4.199 and User:Ketabtoon from Persian to Pashtun, but not even back to Afghan (see on the state definition of Afghan, citizen), as you can see here. He claimed that the term Afghan mean Pashtuns and not Tajik. He did not want to understand the term was used to tie him with Afghanistan, as Britannica and other not scientific and reliable sources do, when it comes to regional heritage or origine of someone or something. For Abul Kalam Azad, I had the following sources where it was stated the person´s Persian origine:
http://www.bharatadesam.com/people/biographies/freedom_fighters/maulana_abul_kalam_azad.php
- India Wins Freedom; Orient Longman Book-Institute
- ^ Die politische Willensbildung in Indien 1900-1960; 1965, von Dietmar Rothermund
- ^ http://www.whereincity.com/india/great-indians/freedom-fighters/maulana-abul-kalam.php His mother was an Arab and the daughter of Sheikh Mohammad Zaher Watri and his father, Maulana Khairuddin, was a Bengali Muslim of Afghan (Tajik) origine. Khairuddin left India during the Sepoy Mutiny, proceeded to Mecca and settled there. He came back to Calcutta
The last source give in addition to the term Afghan as someone who comes from modern-day Afghanistan, his national ethnicity. But it is even interesting to see that User:Ketabtoon uses the same sources that grip on his Tajik ancestory for his Pashtun origine click here. They just jump over the sources and the sourced terms and exchange them with no opponent sources. I want to ask you, if you can give me the permission to correct the falsified paragraph in the article. I appreciate every help from your side. I am going to create an account for myself on Wikipedia and I would thank you very much if I could stand near to you. With best regards, dear friend--94.219.218.209 (talk) 23:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I've been having some problems with this editor[6], who first changed referenced information[7], then stated on my talk page that he didn't changed referenced information[8], then when I added references, he removed the references[9].

Vandal user Toutvientapoint
User:Toutvientapoint has been vandalizing several articles in his/her short time on Wikipedia. They have been warned multiple times, but he/she just clears their talk page and ignores all comments. Here are all the warnings he/she have received (I undid all his/her blankings)[10]
South Asia [11] (after this edit, I told them on their talk page why their edit was wrong) then they repeat the vandalism [12] claiming the reversion was unexplained (even though I had told them why it was wrong)
Asia [13] [14] (They removed a huge chunk of cited content)

NYC Wikipedia Meetup Sunday, March 21
New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Day NYC, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Lights Camera Wiki, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example User:ScienceApologist will present on "climate change, alternative medicine, UFOs and Transcendental Meditation" (see the November meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back. And if the weather is good, we'll have a star party with the telescopes on the roof of Pupin Hall!
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

I was looking through the coaches at Wikipedia:Admin_coaching/Status and saw that your entry was commented out. I have moved it to the "Reconfirmation" section.
Could you let me know if you are still interesting in being involved with Admin Coaching, or if you would prefer to have your name removed from the "reconfirmation" list and placed on the "retired" list. If you want to be involved, could you please move your entry from "Reconfirmation" to "Active" and indicate how many students you would be willing to have (obviously, if you are actively coaching at the moment, then please indicate this!)

I have real content I would like to place in a Calum page in the form of a given name page with about 30 entries. Can you unblock it please so that I can create it? — Hebrides (talk) 19:45, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
