I believe you already read my comments in this talk page. Is that ultimately the verdict is just protecting page for a month? Also, is that SPI call it is legit means both user are different? I'm pretty sure if i'm rolling back to more "correct" version, another wave will come again, and is that 1 month protection enough to wipe that alarm? I'm working long time, with all editing is legitimate call according to guideline, i do not want this happen frequently, which is annoying. Thank you. -- Aleen f1 16:47, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for my intervention here. Probably I wasn't supposed to be here anyway, but here it goes. When I changed IB Sports to IPSN, I did it, because IB Sports is a rights handling agency, which in turns owns a broadcaster named IPSN, as stated by the reference. So I thought it would be correct to change to IPSN, since we're primarily talking about broadcasters. Second, I don't agree that ESPN Deportes Radio and ESPN Caribbean should have their space in the article. First of all, there's no such thing as ESPN Caribbean. What actually exists are feeds of the US ESPN to several key markets in the Caribbean. That in my opinion doesn't account for a separate broadcaster. The same practically goes to ESPN Deportes Radio. ESPN Deportes Radio is a radio service/channel in the Spanish language owned by ESPN that is broadcast in the US. Now, if you're are actually talking about the same broadcaster, in the same region, why the hell should we differentiate? It ain't logical to me to do that. The BBC is also a funny story. Aleenf1 changed the radio entry to BBC Radio. And he did it for what? If we're going to follow the same logic, then the Television entry should be BBC Television. Saying that "stating only BBC in the TV section because BBC is more of a TV brand" is the worst excuse that I've read in ages. There should be coherence at least, and with such differentiation, there's none. As such, BBC should stay for both radio and TV. Hope I was able to answer to all of your questions.

DeltaQuad, can you possibly unblock that article? It seems the another editor didn't discuss it since my last reply 4 days ago, and i eagerly to work it again since press had released the new information. Thank you. -- Aleen f1 03:24, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
As you probably remember, you blocked this range to prevent the continued disruption of User:Ana Sušac and sockpuppets. As soon as the 2 week block expired, they returned to continue their ridiculous Li Xiannian hero worship: see here. Could you please reblock, perhaps longer than 2 weeks? Thanks.-- Atlan ( talk) 12:06, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Also this promise to continue disruption.-- Atlan ( talk) 12:58, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:
coding
All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.
Stuff to look at
We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.
I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.
I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 17:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Hi DeltaQuad. I undid a rangeblock on 213.239.192.0/18 due to what looked like collateral damage per this unblock request [1]. Wanted to let you know and also was hopeful you could review as knowledge of rangeblocks is not a strength of mine -- Samir 18:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When your username bot picks up *bambi* it says:
Matched: bambi|teletubbies -- DQB (report me to the authorities / my master's talk) 05:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC) Deferred to To WP:SPI as User:Bambifan101. -- DQB (report me to the authorities / my master's talk) 05:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
This implies that it's done something - I expected the bot to have posted to WP:SPI from that wording. Can it say 'could be user:bambifan' or something. None of the bambi names I have seen have been bambifan fwiw. Secretlondon ( talk) 13:33, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I was going through and fixing bad redirects and found the following [2]. Not sure if that's intentional but figured I would mention it just in case something funny happened that you didn't know about. Night Ranger ( talk) 23:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. You blocked User:70.167.147.67 a little over a week ago for block evasion of, I think, User:West1806, who is still blocked for socking (investigation here). Just off block and 70.167.147.67 is right back at it here and here. Could you please block 70.167.147.67 again? Thanks. -- Hobbes Goodyear ( talk) 01:51, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey :). You're being contacted because you are involved in the ACC process, or participated in the original discussion in '08 about the ConfirmAccount extension. This is a note to let you know that we are seeking opinions on switching this extension on, effectively making the ACC process via the Toolserver redundant. You can read all the details here; I would be very grateful if people would indicate how they feel about the idea :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 13:19, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
About an account creation request. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 02:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Dear DeltaQuad,
My name is Jake Crawford and I am a student at Michigan State University working on an exploration of the Wikipedia adminship process. I am posting here to ask if you would be willing to answer a few questions about your experiences being a Wikipedia administrator.
Would you possibly have the time to answer some quick questions in the next week? The interview is for a Wiki-Project Management class at MSU and is completely anonymous. While we would be using your Wikipedia user name to keep track of responses, your name will not be used in any of our reports.
If you are able to speak with me, please respond or email me at crawf279@msu.edu. I would greatly appreciate your input and time.
Thank you!

Hi there, sorry for disturbing you. There has been a discussion going on at my talk page about how we should add English translation to films under WP India. I'm currently working on the article Tere Ghar Ke Samne and I added the Hindi/Urdu scripts to it, but it was also removed. I understand removing Hindi/Urdu scripts because it can be used to write a one-line stub on the native language Wiki, but what about English? Tere Ghar Ke Samne translates as In Front of Your House. If readers don't get the info from Wikipedia then where? And I also have an issue with writing a stub on the native language Wiki instead. I don't know Hindi or Urdu and I had to contact someone else to get the translation. My friend told me to contact you. Should I add it back or start a new discussion over at the Indian Cinema Workgroup? Thanks for your time. Fireblazex3 ( talk) 06:20, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Regarding the Wikimania panel, I know some people :D
BTW, I'm also a commons admin, and if Steven didn't come trough I can talk about that wiki as well. Béria Lima msg 03:00, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Just an FYI I was going through Users with the ACC flag and no access to the tool and there's only one user that their request was denied and still has the flag [3], then noticed you were involved.

Could you by chance answer the move request at the talk page here? I believe there's enough evidence to show that other user as the true sockmaster, plus it will then match the long-term abuse case that has been opened. I don't think the move should be controversial, but have no idea how to go about moving and merging a sockpuppet case. Calabe 1992 16:00, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.
For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:13, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Greetings, fresh off a Special:Contributions/Vikas.insan for abusing multiple accounts (which he moved to after getting called out for long-term edit warring), User:Vikas.insan is back and playing the same WP:I didn't hear that all over again. Adding honorifics like "Saint... Ji Insan" as we've constantly said not to do on Talk pages of articles and his own Talk page, removing clearly cited mentions of past criminal cases as Not everything is historically important, the major incident of Dress that caused riots and was in highlights is as-is there and I have not removed from there, but other were proved by High Court of Haryana & Punjab as fake allegations, etc.
He's reverted each of my reverts, so I had to back of 3RR. And despite my posting specifically for this on the Talk page, he ignored my post and just said you still disagree? please prove me wrong on talk page, then put it here. This user has a long-term pattern of being an SPA to defend the interests of Dera Sacha Sauda and its founder Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. There may also be another sock, User:Yogesh.insan978 who was SPAing on the same topics during the block.
I've been dealing with this lot for around a year now, and the exact same arguments over over where they insist on giving the leader a bevvy of glossy titles, and hand-waving away murder and rape court cases. Yes, charges were dropped, but they were all over the media, the article mentions their being dropped, and they're still frequently cited my academic writers as evidence of the controversies surrounding the group. Thanks for any help!
I tried filing this at NPOV Noticeboard, but honestly the pattern is so blatant I figured best to bring it to the attention of the last blocking mod. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 18:41, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

On the heels of this, it's rather hard to construe the remark here in a way that is different than how its target perceived it. That said, you have my full permission to do as you see fit. Toddst1 ( talk) 03:23, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey DeltaQuad, you assigned Arcandam ( talk · contribs) rollback and reviewer rights a couple of days ago "per private request". Were you made aware of the fact that the day before you approved those, Arcandam had had his request for rollback declined at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback#User:Arcandam? Also, I'm interested as to why you also gave reviewer rights, even though they are not currently being handed out (since pending changes is not active), although admittedly it may be reactivated again quite soon, so I can see the reasoning behind that. - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 10:53, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi User:DeltaQuad! I hope you are doing well! I just wanted to inform you that a new RfC concerning which draft should appear in the "religious and philosophical implications" section of the Big Bang article has been opened. Hopefully you can monitor and eventually close the RfC when that time arrives. With regards, Anupam Talk 00:42, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
