MuZemike- I seem to remember that Nintendo Power had a Nester and Maniac Mansion one-shot comic. Do you have the citation info for it? I think it'd be good to mention in the "Impact and legacy" section with the other pop culture content. ( Guyinblack25 talk 17:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC))

That's a user claiming to be an alternate account of the user ChildofMidnight, who is currently serving a 1-year suspension. I suspect it's an impostor trying to get CoM into further trouble. But I wonder if there's any realistic possibility of doing an SPI, given the passage of time? ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:07, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, regarding these investigations Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ChildofMidnight/Archive, as I can see there is no confirmation via cheackuser , there is currently only one user in the confirmed section User:Electroshoxcure and there is no checkuser confirmation for that claim - so - the checkuser confirmed template on the users userpage User:ChildofMidnight is incorrect and requires amending, I would appreciate your assessment of this statement, and if there is some checkuser confirmation that I am missing please point me in the right direction, thanks.

Some say source requirements for ethnicity and gender of WP:EGRS don't apply to WP:BLP living persons, simply because the two words aren't in the policy. (Apparently, they think it should only apply to dead people.) I see that you have participated on this topic at the Village Pump.
They also are trying to remove the notability, relevance, and self-identification criteria at WT:EGRS, but that's another fight for another day, I'm simply too busy to watch two fronts at the same time.
We're on the 6th day. Traditionally, these polls go for 7; unless there's no obvious consensus, when we go for an additional 7 days.

There's a merge discussion going on here for an article brought to GA by an ITL sock. I think merging is a terrible idea until the article is checked for copyvio and completely scrubbed. Also the images should probably be stripped. Just wanted you to know. I won't be around much in the next few days, but will keep an eye on it and help if I have time when I'm back to editing. Thanks.

Hello. I came to ask for just a little assistance. I just started reviewing GA nominations recently and have done mostly smaller-scale articles, nothing too difficult. However, I am now reviewing May Revolution and just want to see if you can look at what I have done so far and see if it all checks out. I really am wondering whether and article can be quick-failed for being too long, I made notes about that on the review page. Also I think I'm on the right track with my comments about references but just want to make sure. This review has challenged me quite a bit more than previous ones. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day! P.S. Great job for your involvement in getting the GAN backlog elimination drive organized. •Felix• T 21:42, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Got another question for ya. I have checked DYK Check on the Frank Buckles since I started updating it (along with other editors) and it says the article has never reached 5x. With the work put into this, I find that hard to believe. Is there another tool you could use to give a look-see if this is DYK quality? - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor.

Hi MuZemike, I noticed that you recently blockhammered an editor called Joseph Fleisher. A few days ago he unilaterally deleted data that I considered constructive from List of Fanboy and Chum Chum episodes. I posted 2 queries on his talk page about his changes; he ignored both, then blanked his talk page. I'm still working to establish consensus about what information should appear on that page. Since he is blocked for disruptive editing, would you consider it objectionable if I were to roll back his contributions and restore the data he deleted? Does that go against any Wiki rules? The data I would be restoring is consistent with the three examples of good pages shown here: "List Of" pages. I would be restoring the Writer, Director, and production # data, which he deleted with no justification. Thanks in advance for your help!

Back in early January you put a long block on 63.131.4.149 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), mostly for threatening widespread disruption after a short 48 hour block. Yesterday some activity occurred on the IP's talk page, and just now a long threatening rant was placed on the page by the same user (The last number in the IP is one off) who removed yesterday's edit. [3] What the heck is going on? I've never seen this, but I'm sure you have. It's gotta be the same user as the blocked IP, and it's like 75% good edits and 25% threats of a familiar nature. Weird.

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink ( submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H. Piotrus ( submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered " vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hey MuZemike, I've responded to your oppose at the FLC. I'd be interested in your opinion there of these kinds of lists. It's certainly not the only case where the main article is the list, and in many cases where it's featured. I certainly don't see where it fails any of the FL criteria which is, after all, what the process gauges lists against. I'd very much appreciate it if you could expand on your brief comment.

Hey MuZemike--you blocked User:Jane his wife as a sock, and I think User:DeadSend4 is another one. I don't know who the original master is, so I'd like to ask you to file the proper paperwork, so to speak. See their actions on Nicole Kidman. Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 00:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Please go and read my edits on Nicole Kidman and you will see that Tenebrae has been reverting my edits without reading what I actually added to the article. I've added over 80% of information to this article and have compromised on several things, however this user continues to follow my edits and reverts them for no reason other than the fact that he thinks I have multiple accounts. I've done a step by step explanation with him yet he doesn't understand, he ignores what I say and complains about me. I don't see what the issue here considering I just compromised and explained my edits something that he doesn't bother to do. Instead of COMPROMISING he just reverts the ENTIRE page, completely disregaring the fact that I've added multiple citations and corrections. His complaint about "found some problems with references being used not matching the text in the article" lack no basis since he has not shown me specifically what those are, instead again, he reverts my edits and goes into an edit and THEN complains about me daily when he in fact has not bothered to compromise himself. Lastly, there is nothing wrong with the Cate Blanchett page, I already discussed the issue with Drmies and messaged her about the changes and apologized for not remarking what edits I made. The article does not have any problems with references or citations, again check for yourself, I'm not lying about what edits I make. It's this user's attempt to block me for the simple fact that...I honestly don't know the reason, but the fact that he doesn't compromise and bothers to read my explanations is bothersome and unfair.
Please take the time and read my recent edits that I made to Miss Kidman's page, you will see I did a step by step explination on almost every paragraph that this user continues to revert for no reason. In some cases, some sentences I FOUND citations for he reverts them back to missing citations. I don't understand. Had he were to read, he would see I'm actually adding citations, so it's obvious this person has something against me, because he's going back on the very same thing he reverted. Honestly, I feel this is a personal issue on behalf of the contributor. His complaints about me are only to get me blocked, yet he can't comprehend what I'm trying to tell him. I've tried to be civil and compromising, but once you get you article which you spend days working on reverted (by him specifically I counted he has reverted most of my edits AT LEAST...AT LEAST! 20 times!) then you start to get upset, because there is really no reason.

As you know, I am working on the Frank Buckles article and trying to get it to A-Class and have run into a problem. User:Brad101 is being insanely unhelpful, giving short answers as to what is wrong with the article, not being forthcoming with information, and generally not responding to posts. My first two posts were ignored essentially, and my third was a pure frustration post for his post to the A-Class review page that read simply: "Oppose Overlinked article per MoS. Good luck at FAC." I am unsure how to respond any other way to this user and really feel they are holding up the review by not being helpful or responding. Perhaps you can talk to the guy, maybe he will respond to you, since you are an admin, cause I am out of ideas. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

This user is User:DeadSend4, who at the third post here concedes, “I am Jane his wife. But I'm [not] going to use that account anymore.” Jane his wife was a sock of ItsLassieTime.
Since you were involved in banning ItsLassieTime, who notoriously has used a squadron of sockpuppets, I wanted to alert you that while banned, he is back and behaving the same way under another name. I and several editors whom you'll see at Talk:Nicole Kidman would appreciate any help, information or insight you might provide. With great thanks, -- Tenebrae ( talk) 17:15, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
No question DeadSend4 is a sock of Jane His Wife. But where's the evidence that Jane His Wife is a sock of Its Lassie Time? ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:43, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I've found that a lot of good articles and probably a lot of featured articles (I haven't check them yet) are abusing the use of copyrighted images on Wikipedia (for example, I've seen several articles that use three images to visualize content in the article even though the first image demonstrates everything that the other two images are trying to do).

I'll admit to it being a new concept on me, but Ctjf83 ( talk) made a suggestion on BlueMondo's An/I report to switch to pending changes protection. I checked out the pending changes page to alleviate my ignorance on the subject, and it seems to me, given the deftness of our sock friend at circumventing all blocks and protection other than full, that a level 2 PC would be necessary. I ran it by Elockid, who indicated via the RfC that the trials were pretty much limited now to already PC'ed pages, but also indicated that the trials didn't really incorporate Level 2, and that this might make for an interesting opportunity to test it, if you didn't mind. I was curious about how you might feel about that, and, if you had no objections, if it would be permissible for me to post on the Bob's Burgers talk pages to see where other editors stand on the idea. It might just be a good opportunity to get something good out of this experience, and I can only imagine it being as preferable to other editors as it seems to be to Ctjf83 and myself to be able to on some level edit, instead of edit-by-proxy, which is where I can only imagine this trivia Terminator is going to leave us indefinitely.

I've been around for awhile, and I know sockpuppetry is forbidden. I couldn't figure out how you made the connection for that user, though. Wikipedia:Sock puppetry#Handling suspected sock puppets suggests there might be some investigation. Is there a step short of a block that might be friendlier to newcomers?

I see you quickly blocked BlackDalek as an Editor XXV sock, which stands to reason. I asked the admin who blocked his IP, but I'll ask you also: The IP is showing as blocked, yet somehow he was able to edit his user page. How did he do that? And if BlackDalek is Editor XXV, is not the IP also Editor XXV? Or did XXV/BlackDalek use some kind of shenanigan to impostor the IP account? If it's the latter, no details please. :) ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello MuZemike. I answered your criticism at the FLC, I'm not sure on what grounds you're opposing the list. I don't want to appear impatient but it's unclear to me why a list with a decent introduction (which is what FLC is all about) would draw your opposition. We don't have a "good lists" process, that's been shot down more times than I can remember, so FLC is the only route. There are many lists with a comprehensive lead, then a list.

Hi MuZemike, the continuing vandalism of user:SuperblySpiffingPerson at Timeline of the 2011 Libyan civil war especially with IPs is obviously never ending...

If you have a tip for us how to proceed or if you know ho we can implement such rangebblock please let me know; and as Favonian is involved in this too I think that we should keep the discussion were it began, namely at User_talk:Favonian#Gaddafi-lover vandal. thanks, noclador ( talk) 15:03, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm a little unsure about the indefinite block of User:Mahomie15 as a vandalism only account. His only edits seem to have been trying to create an article about himself as a musician.

Hey MuZemike, I saw your comment. Did you have a specific reason for saying so?

In a nutshell, Shirt58 suspected that the editors who had been welcomed by Tyw but had not made any edits might be their socks. I responded and said that I welcome users all the time before they make any edits--and then I saw your note, but couldn't find anything in Tyw's history that suggested an SPI or something like that was going on.

Hey there ... I saw your recent post on this latest assault on the project, and I think that his latest tactic seems to have not really generated any damage. The Soulessnake account laid low for a few days, then an anon IP (that I believe to be him as well) started making minor changes (such as changing "ninth" to "9th"), which Soulessnake would then undo when he first logged on with that account this evening (thus putting the article back to where it was before he touched them). After a few undos (actually, about 10), the "fun" began as he had met the criteria for auto-confirmation, which allowed him to edit freely in his target articles, which are semi-protected. This new M.O. should be added to the abuse page for other editors to pay attention to. In fact, may do just that before I go to bed. -- McDoob AU 93 07:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, hope you had fun at your track event and glad to see that your road trip isn't indefinite :). Just wondering if you recognized the user who made this edit. I already blocked him/her as a username violation, but I've never heard of Twinkle being used to vote in RfAs and I've certainly never heard of a new user with "sysop" in their name using the term "rollback" within their first five edits. I know there have been socks that tend to participate in RfAs, so maybe you knew who this was?
And if you don't, I have a second question: given that CU is not for fishing, how suspiciously DUCKy does an account have to be in order for a CU to be done if there's no one to compare it do? I've requested one or two privately when it was obvious a user was a sock but unsure of whom, and I was just wondering whether that depends on the CU or if there's some sort of threshold for that to be done. I keep a short off-wiki list of users I'm almost certain are socks, but I've never known what to do with it, other than just periodically check on the users' edits. / ƒETCH COMMS / 03:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber ( submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket ( submissions), Hurricanehink ( submissions) and Canada Hky ( submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.
A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi, Mike! Sorry if my complaints about the SPI user interface chafed at all. I know, all too well, how frustrating an experience it can be to try to define a user interface by committee, especially where that committee has no experience whatever in the field. And, of course, I also know how poor the result is likely to be in such a case. I don't know whether you've worked on that page or not, I haven't looked at its history. But if so, please let me apologize if it the criticism of the result seemed to be directed in any way at those who contributed to the process.
There are many articles here that I also think "suck eggs" (to use the term I perhaps unwisely allowed myself at AN/I) that I just leave alone because they're a very imperfect but extremely hard won consensus version, and even small tweaks are likely to set off a new firestorm of acrimony. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that this was the case with the current SPI interface, too. But I fully take your point that it's much easier to criticise than it is to help solve the problem, so I'll try to join in the current discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Sockpuppet_investigations within the next few days, and see if I can contribute any useful ideas. Thanks for your comment, and again let me say my criticism of the interface wasn't meant as criticism of the people who've contributed to shaping it.

Hi, MuZemike.
I am not familiar with the SPI process. I see that a recent user check at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Dwarm12345 does not confirm that the accounts are related. I am asking you here rather than comment there because it does not seem appropriate for me to do so given the template remarks.
First, can I assume that this is negative evidence? That it does not support but does not disprove the accusation? Or is it considered exhonorating?
Second, am I correct in assuming that only the three users in the original complaint were checked, and not Respecteveryone, Chinamanissue, and whatever users might be associated with the creation of or repeated reversions on the redlinked articles I added to the report?
Finally, is the case closed given this evidence, or can other circumstantial evidence be given to show (any of) the users are the same, given orther evidence that might be adduced?
Please answer me here, I will watch here. Thanks for your help.

An anonymous IP made an incivil statement about me on an edit summary of theirs ( [22]) for Silent Hill: Downpour and, judging from the type of the insult, which is a totally baseless claim, and a recent edit which involved addition of unsourced content (which was later reintroduced sourced), I suspect this IP is a sock puppet of banned user Fragments of Jade, who, through sock puppet Yomiel, was involved about 3-4 months ago in a dispute over Silent Hill. Yomiel was eventually blocked daily for edit-warring, then reported on the administrators' noticeboard for persistent incivil behavior towards me, despite multiple requests from me to stop doing so, and was finally permanently banned by you for being a sock puppet.

Its important because of vote stacking at TFD to sway the result.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:31, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
I came across this particular IP on the Robert Maxwell article and found a clear edit pattern to the previous sock accounts.
Note the edits to UK and wrestling related subjects. The IP also seems to originate from the UK area and falls in the same range as the last three identified IPs ( 2.124.196.36 2.124.196.31 2.219.215.248) -- Unquestionable Truth-- 01:12, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Well, I can't say that I'm not amused by Anthem of joy's block as a sock. I guess I should have suspected something when he was declaring sources that have long been accepted as reliable were suddenly unreliable and not independent because they were specialized. But what tipped you off that he may have been a sockpuppet? I can barely keep up with the few that occasionally inflict themselves on the anime/manga articles within the past couple of months. Also, what will this do to all of the AfDs that he initiated? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheFarix ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 14 June 2011

Hi, upon visiting the webOS page here, I noticed that the version history section is taking up quite a bit of space in the article. I was thinking of moving that content into a new article webOS version history, however, Wikipedia informed me that it had been previously deleted for copyright infringing reasons. Do you think a year later that webOS is ready for its own version page? I was thinking of moving the table to a separate page, as well as writing up an intro and various things, perhaps fancy up the table as well. However, I wasn't sure if I should undertake it if there are still good reasons as to keeping the page deleted.. Thank you for your time in reading my post. Have a nice day! :) Kiranerys- talk 09:38, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

User:Racepacket has made a comment on my user page that I removed: [28]
On the review page he is questioning nearly everything and I am suspicious that he intends to argue the review and be as passive aggresive as possible. I am pausing the review that I began last night and am seeking advise as to whether it should proceed with a new reviewer or be quick declined for pressuring the reviewer for a time limit or just completely ignore him all together. I find that by interacting with certain individuals, constructive and civil discourse is not always possible in a review and that many find that questioning as much as possible discourages a reviewer from further fault finding to keep it simpler. I will follow the advise of you on this. You seem more experienced than I, by far in these matters and I know that by seeking the advise of the main project members and coordinators that I get the correct answers!-- Amadscientist ( talk) 20:32, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey MuZemike--do you know which block was being evaded here? I'm chatting with Anna Frodesiak (you are welcome to join, here). She has started a sock category, Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of 98.82.167.40, and is keeping an impressive record, User:Anna Frodesiak/Black sandbox. I've dealt with some of this before (as an editor), back in the days when Neutralhomer and I had some discussions over notable staff and such, and at the time we did at least agree that the slogans and titles and all were unencyclopedic. I remove them when I run into them, but I didn't know we have an apparent OCD editor sticking it back in, apostrophes and all. Your help would be greatly appreciated--and if you could respond at Anna's talk page, that'd be great. Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 03:07, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I was the one who set up the sockpuppet investigation using MuzeMarc as the sockpuppetmaster (I just chose the last one, there was no logic there on my part). You moved it to KBlott as the master. I'm sorry to have put you through all that work, but is there a way that I might have known that there was a different master? Or did you just know? KBlott was around 8 or 9 months ago, so I wouldn't have connected the dots. If there's some magic way to do it, I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks.

I've been seeing a bug with Twinkle where pages I'm tagged were getting added to my watchlist despite me using the option meant to stop that. The extra pages I've been tagging and working on as part of new pages partol and backlog work were diluting the pages I was actually interested in watching. To keep them separate, I started a new account User:Not_your_siblings'_deletionist and started using it. I'll admit that I failed to WP:SOCK#NOTIFY and picked a WP:USERNAME that might be considered trolling. After two edits (adding references to pages from the back of the unreferenced backlog) my account was blocked for abuse. I've can see no evidence of any abuse by myself and none appears to have been given. None of my recent edits appear to have been reverted (although my edit of Berleşti was partly rolled back, and appears not to have been my best work). My reading of WP:SOCK suggests that there are valid times to use sock puppets and even valid times to use sock puppets without notification. Merely using sock puppets without notification cannot thus be abuse. I would like to see: (a) The blocklog edited/amended to clarify lack of abuse and (b) The message on my talk page edited/amended to clarify lack of abuse. Alternatively: (c) a link to the edit or edit(s) which constitute abuse. Stuartyeates ( talk) 10:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber ( submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman ( submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore ( submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink ( submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank Jarry1250 ( submissions) and Stone ( submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

For those others wondering, I did not delete the article outright, but instead moved it to the article incubator under Wikipedia:Article incubator/The Saturdays' third album, as a userfied article on an indefinitely blocked user's page will do nothing except sit there and likely indefinitely.

Hi, MuZemike! Thank you very much for responding to my 30 June 2011 deletion review at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review I am so glad I found an admin who writes about games and JRPGs too for that matter! I am sure you can understand my frustrations when my article on Sherman3D and my picture of Arevan was deleted when I got permission from the game developers to write about them. As a RPG Maker game fan, I have done them a great disservice because I can't seem to re-post an article about Sherman3D or re-upload an image of Arevan. I hope they are not universally banned. I am not sure if it is because of some previous spam posters but I did my research and got permission to write about these companies and their games. I don't think it is fair that I got my postings/uploads banned because I fixed them as soon as I can and I really did get their permission to post them. My only consolation is that my article on Aldorlea Games was posted without problems and the developer is very happy. I was planning to write articles on more indie RPG Maker companies and games but I am a bit afraid that it might cause these independent developers irreversible damage on Wikipedia now. Please do help me as I am sure you will understand that these developers of games which bring back the nostalgia of those classic JRPGs should be supported! Thank you very much, MuZemike!

Hi.

I'm not familiar with how we treat G5 deletions, but whatever the author's sins in terms of socking, looking at the deleted article it seems good.

Is there a need to keep the material at User talk:Proud Serbian Chetnik deleted, normal procedure is to redirect the page but leave the material in history for later evidence unless determined otherwise by ARBCOM or OS per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/SPI/Administrators_instructions#Sock_puppets_.28registered_accounts.29. I redirected but didn't want to undelete incase there was sensitive material as I noticed that a couple of items were done as revdels. I understand that some of the material was extremely offensive but I think that we need to err on the side of keeping the evidence available to non-admins since socks have a tendency to reappear.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 10:46, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi MuZemike. You recently deleted items from the revision history of some articles due to vandalism by an anonymous editor. Out of curiosity, what sort of edits were made to these pages? I could be paranoid, but an anonymous IP editor (traced back to what might be a proxy server) who shows up and edits the article of a Ten-Most-Wanted fugitive along with the articles of the city in which his crime occurred and the high school that he attended piques my interest. - Nick talk 20:06, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

An IP repeatedly introduced in Silent Hill (video game) the same unsourced statements that Yomiel, a sockpuppet of banned user Fragments of Jade, introduced months ago and had led to a debate. The IP doesn't cooperate: I reverted the statements 3 times, but not a 4th, to avoid breaching 3RR. The statements are written in a way similar to the one in which Yomiel's statements were written. The IP also made an edit to Earl Cain, an article over which Yomiel had debated with Kaguya-chan, a user whom I collaborate with on Silent Hill-related articles. I placed a suspected sockpuppet template on the IP's talk page, but the IP blanked the talk page.

This user is caught in a rangeblock you placed. I'm not sure of the past history, but the range looks like it has been quiet for a few weeks. TN X Man 19:58, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello!
I wanted to alert you to a possible edit war breaking out on the Austrian School page. The user BigK HeX is reversing edit without sourcing it properly and without discussing it on the talk page, despite the fact that there is a specific section for this particular edit. He is well known for his hostility towards the Austrian School, something he's never made any secret of, and should thus not be allowed to edit the article at all. Another reason for him being unqualified for the job is the fact that he doesn't know the first thing about the Austrian School. Could you please make him understand that WP rules apply to him as well? Misessus ( talk) 15:46, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Could you please check the Austrian School talkpage? Lawrencekhoo an BigK HeX are trying to start an edit war. Misessus ( talk) 16:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Did you notice that the edit war started exactly when you lifted the protection of the article? There was no consensus, in fact the same argument had been going on before and was soapboxed. This is yet another example of WP-editors bullying through their own bigoted idea. BigK, LK and Charles have done it before. They remove sourced material and include false, unsourced material. Isn't there anything you can do or is this really how WP is supposed to work? Misessus ( talk) 05:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
The semiprotection on the page has expired, and the same vandal/sockpuppet is back at it. He will not accept any number of references as proof, and I am really getting tired of reverting him. He seems to only be using IP addresses to edit, and his two edits since the expiration have been on different IP addresses. Can you semiprotect the page again? — Gordon P.

At this proposal and at User talk:28bytes#My rangeblock proposal, I'm requesting your replies and verdict on whether the proposal on IPv6 rangeblocks should be implemented. Thanks. Jasper Deng (talk) 20:10, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
User talk:Amynan is back on here starting another edit war I was advised by another user that the stuff they are posting is not to be posted cause it is fan reviews and they want to sit here and say I'm vandalizing the page because I'm doing as I was being told by others. Also I believe that this 180.194.241.51 is a sock puppet of theirs. I figured since you were the one who got them last time you should know they are back on here doing the same thing again.

I more or less rewrote your Mario96 filter so that it matches up to his latest sock (see SPI case). I had a go at "optimizing" it for new users, but I seemed to have made it worse. Feel free to fix it. It has always been difficult for me to determine when things are optimal or not. See the filter history for the mess that I made trying to make it run faster. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 05:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
The range 125.115.0.0/15 seems to be producing nothing but spam and vandalism. Suggest two /16 rangeblocks. Jasper Deng (talk) 22:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
What the hell does this "Vote X" guy have against you that they insist on coming back under various IPs? I'm starting to wonder if we should just block the entire lot of them (with instructions on how to create an account, not blocking account creation for legit. people) for a month or so and see if he goes away.

Someone went and created an article for this song, while a friend of mine had been working on one for a while in their sandbox. It is now impossible to move the sandbox into the mainspace, and I was wondering if you could delete the article so the sandbox could be moved in. I was going to start a deletion request, as the article does not pertain sources, and fails notability for songs, but that would take way too long and I think this is the best fit. I'm also the one asking because of the fact that my friend isn't that active, so I thought I'd help out. :) ℥ nding· start 00:40, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi MuZemike. I noticed that this IP address seemed to behave curiously similarly to some usernames and an IP address that you recently blocked. Although I'm vastly amused to learn that there is a blog account that comments on me/us, and am very impressed at the close likeness to myself in some of the images, others may not be so easily amused. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 02:22, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Mike. :)
I noticed that Aziz Deen-Conteh was created today...and the contributor's only prior edit was to create Philipp Prosenik. You deleted both of these previously as creations (evidently) of User:10alatham. :/ The contributor's edits are pretty obviously not those of a newcomer. Reason for concern? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:03, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Greetings,
I did not intend to be using my IP address to send you a message, but I have no other way to contact you, since that email address you gave me to unblock my Gigogag account does not work. I tried several times, but I got an automated message saying that "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" do not work. Those were the two I was given. Is there another email address that I can use to send an unblock request? I am terribly sorry that I had to break my promise after over a year of being offline and sockpuppet in order to send you this message. I dearly hope that dealing with vandals on Wikipedia has been MUCH easier since I justly blocked.

I picked up on your latest addition from my watchlist and felt perhaps you might also like the one I have used many times. It doesn't follow an algorithm, but leaves the deciphering to the user. But it picks up everything. In case you want to try. here it is. Best, My76Strat ( talk) 04:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Is it worth blocking access to QuickEditor talk page also? They're going on a real rant. Or do you think they'll just burn out? - Sitush ( talk) 08:55, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are Adabow ( submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and PresN ( submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article ( White-bellied Sea Eagle, from Casliber ( submissions)) and two featured lists ( Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from Another Believer ( submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!
There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC. Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn and The ed17 11:38, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you've been dealing with that guy. Nikolosa ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is another obvious sock from the same bunch, as can be seen from the edit history of the Russians page. The page itself might need semi-protection, too. -- illythr ( talk) 18:06, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
What do you think of User: Maryphillips1952 response to my question on her talk page? Looking back through her earlier contributions, I don't see anything that suggests that she's trying to be deceptive, but, on the other hand, it does seem suspicious to me that she would erase part of the SPI on her. It's clear to me that this user has been a pain, but it's unclear to me whether this pain is sincerely due only to lack of knowledge or is due to other issues (like COI or intentional disruption). Even the writing style worries me, though I suppose that could be caused by using some sort of mobile browser that makes it too difficult to edit with carefully...

Hate to bother you again, but I'm just wondering--what was the other account? Although, if that involves CU info, it's not really important. Qwyrxian ( talk) 03:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
On 6 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Beep (video game), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in some places in the video game Beep, players must stack dead enemies in order to advance? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template talk:Did you know/Beep (video game).You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hello,
sorry to bother you again, but we need moderator intervention with the Austrian School article. Please see the 13th section on the talk page "13 Schiff, summary of discussions". It summarizes the issue at hand. Misessus ( talk) 19:10, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
