Misplaced Pages

More vandalism from 68.226.131.48

I reverted some vandalism from 68.226.131.48 and was about to drop a notice on their Talk page when I noticed that you had previously blocked the user and threatened to block again for a longer period of time if the vandalism continued. Well, it's continued. --ElKevbo 06:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

The blocking of Ayatollah Rhobijnie

Ayatollah Rhobijnie isn't the same person as Mrlob, Mrlob just lied to get away with it. He told me that he was going to say this so he wouldn't be banned indefinetly as a sockpuppet of me (what he isn't) but he would only be banned for two weeks and he didn't like Ayatollah Rhobijnie anyway but now Ayatollah Rhobijnie is banned for nothing, proof of this is on the dutch[REDACTED] on my talk page, I'm called Kermansjahi with a j instead of an h on my talk page we discus it, the only problem is that it is in dutch so if you understand dutch there will be no problem, if you don't i could translate it for you but I'm not sure if you'd believe me. -- Kermanshahi 12:45, March 29, 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Kermanshahi proved that User:Ayatollah Rhobijnie, User:Mrlob and User:Kashwialariski all operated from 84.87.138.105 and as such, their blocks will not be overturned. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

well could you remove the sockpuppet of kermanshahi template from El Alamajins page, he is not my sockpuppet and this only makes a bad name for me. Kermanshahi 13:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Well thanks for changing it, now people don't see those things anymore

Thanks

Thanks for blocking that vandal and cleaning up my talk page. Grika 17:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Misplaced Pages Fan Always

I really don't think this is a username vio. I think you should remove the block. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 18:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I was reluctant myself, but considering "Ripple Effect Management" doesn't seem to exist online and what was written at Talk:Ripple Effect Management, I suspect we may be dealing with a troll here -- hence my lack of good faith. --  Netsnipe  ►  18:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Schoolblock

Re your message: You lost me a little here. I did note schoolblock on the block reason on the last two blocks, though I did forget to put in the parentheses this particular time (I usually do, just forgot these past two). I didn't put in the edit summary, but did use the correct template on the Talk page note itself. -- Gogo Dodo 19:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: Ah, okay, right. Normally, I do. Just had a slip-up there. Will remind myself to remember that. Sorry about that. -- Gogo Dodo 19:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for resetting the blocks. =) -- Gogo Dodo 19:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

IP Blocked

Just wondering which pages were being vandalized by a user in 58.10.0.0/16 range. Since the entire range is blocked, which is that of Mahidol University in Thailand, it would be nice to know since now all the library computers cannot edit. ArchonMeld 10:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Schoolblocks

Hi again. Just another quick newbie admin question. I took your advice re. schoolblocks and block times, etc. You definitely have a point there. Re. this block, which I applied today, I notice you put up {{SharedIPedu}} and extended the block to 6 month. In the case of anon vandals, should I be checking the origin of the IP address using reverse-DNS and blocking accordingly? Am I slipping up by not checking this first? Thanks - Alison 18:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

In my experience, you should. It saves everyone a lot of time and effort down the track if you knew exactly who you were blocking to begin with. Reverse DNS lookups are very useful in telling you the exact role of a host is, for example, it can reveal if it's a proxy server and who owns it, or if it's static ADSL home connection or from dynamically-allocated pool of IP addresses. --  Netsnipe  ►  18:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time out to explain your rationale. This makes perfect sense to me. In future, while reviewing for blocks, I'll check that, update the talk page and block accordingly. I'm still learning here, but slowly getting there. Thanks again - Alison 19:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Does this look about right? - Alison 19:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk page

Can I blank my talkpage? _Sonn 20:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

When Declining Unblocks.

This refers to your decline re: my unblock request. I found it very rude, that when declining my unblock request, you also made a taunting comment. This is not the way to deal with people, it encourages them to continue vandalism/rulebreaking, which, as we all know, is not a good idea. You may think it "witty", but others just find it insulting. In future, please, for the good of Misplaced Pages, think about how the other person might take it.

Sincerely, Omega Archdoom 03:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Ahhh!

You keep beating me to blocks! Keep up the good work. I'm glad that somebody is patrolling AIV on a Friday night here in the US. Regards, alphachimp 04:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Happy Easter

Something I don't understand

I'm sorry to bother you Netsnipe, but I need you to explain a few things to me. I created a template of a userbox that I saw on many userpages. The box reads "This user supports armed resistance to hostilities." I also created a category of "Wikipedians who support Hezbollah" per "Wikipedians who support Israel". As I was editing the category after I had created it, I received this message: "Warning The template you created about Hezbollah has been nominated for deletion, since it is devisive or may be viewed as inflammatory. You are welcome to comment on this request on the template talk page, but please do NOT remove the tag on the article itself. Thanks. Thor Malmjursson 03:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)"

Three to four seconds after I had received this message and as I was about to discuss the deletion, the template was deleted. I sent this to the user who had sent me the message: "Hezbollah template Don't I get a chance to discuss the template first? KlakSonnKeep it to yourself 04:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)"

He replied: "Your post on my page Unfortunately, no. Simple as that. The template is viewed as inflammatory, since it may induce others to start a counter template, counteracting yours, which could lead to arguments, edit wars, or all out bloodshed! Sorry, but those kind of templates just don't belong here. The category is fine, providing you take out the reference to Hezbollah - it would be more suitable if you list the category as "These users support the use of arms in conflict." - Listing it with Politics/Israel is ok. Thor Malmjursson 04:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)"

I'm not really familiar with Misplaced Pages policy, but did that really happen or am I in Lala land? This appear as purely dictatorial and biased. Can you explain it to me, or does Misplaced Pages view Hezbollah as a terrorist organization? If not, I await the template and category to be re-created _Sonn 04:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and Happy Easter. I really hope this episode was a practical joke on April fools' day. _Sonn 04:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello.

Hello Netsnipe. Misplaced Pages has grown a lot lately and I cannont find the way to see if I can be a, "sysop". Don't fuss at me about this but the help discussion is pretty lengthy. Can you direct it to me? Also...... Do you play Gaia? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vladimir Stalin (talk • contribs) 14:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

See Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship and don't nominate yourself until you've been active for around 6-9 months and have around 3000-4000 edits to your name or you will be rejected for being too inexperienced. And no, I don't play Gaia, but I do play World of Warcraft. Why do you ask? --  Netsnipe   ►  07:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

User talk:The jester man

I removed the autoblock on this user. If you read through his talk page carefully I think you will see he wasn't trolling but simply didn't understand how to use the unblock template. He was told to create a new account by another admin, couldn't because of the block so put the template on the wrong page. To be honest I would have thought you could have worked that out. Anyway just letting you know for future reference. On april fools day we should still assume good faith. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 06:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

209.146.77.167

Hi, Netsnipe. I saw you blocked this ip for about six months as School ip. Is there any reason you blocked school ip for 6 months even it could be shared by different students in School? I hope you could explain why you blocked school ip for 6 monthes. Please reply in my talk page. Cheers! Daniel5127 | Talk 07:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

The block is anonymous-only and was imposed after these vandalism edits as a preventative measure. I along several admins who patrol WP:AIV regularly schoolblock IPs of K-12 schools for 6 months at a time since our experience shows that 95% of edits originating from such schools are pure vandalism. --  Netsnipe  ►  07:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you serious?

Are you for real or is this another practical joke? Misplaced Pages is full of userpages with political userboxes. I was hoping you would be realistic instead of taking me for an idiot. I was hoping I would find assistance, not someone telling me there is no place for political userboxes in Misplaced Pages. I hope this is a joke and excuse my anger. _Sonn 10:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I was a pretty disgusting thing to do. I ask for your assistance and you cause even more harm. _Sonn 16:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

what about these?

Should it be called double-standards or Aussie racism? (examples). Does enforcing policy consist of allowing every "I support..." userbox except for the ones who bother your kind? _Sonn 17:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

There's nothing stopping you from nominating them for removal at Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion or raising the issue with the wider community at the Misplaced Pages:Village pump. Under the Misplaced Pages:Civility policy, I'd also strongly caution you against calling others racist without diffs to demonstrate systematic bias. If you go through my editing history, I've always asserted my neutrality when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Please don't play games Netsnipe, be fair for one time. Every political userbox cannot be deleted, you just want to attack the Hezbollah one to be because it irritates your people. _Sonn 17:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually Netsnipe is correct per a ruling of Jimbo Wales such userboxes are to be deleted on sight no questions asked. just because we havent caught them all doesnt mean that they should be on wikipedia. (Im going to TfD the boxes you pointed out) Betacommand 17:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Pathetic. What you did surely gives Misplaced Pages a good and respectable name. So much for freedom of speech and belief. God forgive you Lau, really. _Sonn 17:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't you delete all of these as well? Category:Wikipedians by politics _Sonn 17:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Did you delete them or should I recreate "Wikipedians who support Hezbollah"? _Sonn 18:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Netsnipe, can you help me out here? It is very impolite not to reply. I'm trying to delete categories of "Wikipedians who support.." I expect you to help me. _Sonn 18:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Klaksonn & Your intervention on the Hezbollah template

May I thank you warmly for defending my decision to CSD the template. I had no idea that Klaksonn had previously been blocked, and I trust you have not been too inconvenenced by being drgged into this mess. Thor Malmjursson 18:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC) (talk)

I will take your silence as a green light to recreating the template and the category. _Sonn 18:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

And if you do that, either myself or an admin will tag it for deletion again. If you don't want to get yourself blocked, I recommend you aim for a deletion review before you do it again. Thor Malmjursson 18:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC) (talk)

Oh! And I thought it wasn't allowed because it's political. My bad, racist. _Sonn 18:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't talking to you Thora, buzz off. _Sonn 18:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not fighting. I just want to know why is someone allowed to support Israel and not Hezbollah? _Sonn 18:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Your last 2 comments breach WP:NPA (No personal attacks) and WP:Civil (Please be civil). I am requesting am immediate apology for your accusation and rude comments, or an admin may be requested to deal with this breach. I am not racist, I have a job to do, and you are making it much much harder than it already is. Thor Malmjursson 18:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC) (talk)

Repeated Vandalism by Navychaps and USMC Padre

Dear Netsnipe, request your follow up to discipline or block two vandals NavyChaps and USMC Padre who repeatedly violated the Bio of Living Persons rules by disparaging and posting private information about Gordon James Klingenschmitt, leading to deletion of his entire article. The Checkuser report (which you requested) suggests they also routinely violated Sockpuppet rules. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/USMC_Padre Suggest using your "admin powers" to block these two users, and also Commanderstephanus and MiddleLinebacker who routinely used foul language. I'm not informed of proper procedures after Checkuser confirms the identity of abusers. ChaplainReferee 20:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Users: Mad Game, Korean History, and King Legolas III

Hi, it's Patelco The users you see up there, well those are my friends and I'm having some trouble with them. Recently, I tried to contact them via user talk pages and I could not not. There user page and their user talk pages were mysteriously missing. I even tried to contact User: jane 562 and thankfully her user page is still there. So, if you know anything about this like if their pages were vandalizes or if they got blocked by someone then please let me know.

Sincerely,

- ₪Patelco☻ 23:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Mrlob=MaoVerdonk

Mrlob know for sockpuppetry has recently made a new sockpuppet: MaoVerdonk with this account he has made the page Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of Kermanshahi and had put kashwialariski on it, also altough he confessed he changed the:Sockpuppet of Mrlob thing to Sockpuppet of Kermanshahi, I blanked the page and hope you delete it. MaoVerdonk is Mrlob and I know that for a fact because I have seen him edit with it, Ans it is the name of his dutch[REDACTED] account. Could you please get rid of that artickle and maybe block his new sockpuppet. Kermanshahi 15:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk Page Confusion

I noticed you have recently blocked someone temporarily for page blanking . . . is that still enforced? Because last time I reverted someone's talk page, another admin came and told me to stop. >_> -WarthogDemon 21:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

User:74.14.32.156

I don't think it was right of you to uphold the second block of User:74.14.32.156. While the first block on this person was clearly a violation of 3RR and POV, for the second one, he/she was just asking a question and his/her question kept getting deleted. As admins, you guys should be giving new users honest answers to questions so that they can learn how Misplaced Pages works. Blocking users for asking questions and calling it "vandalism" is not going to build a good atmosphere here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.235.229.208 (talk) 14:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC).

Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Netsnipe.27s_6_Month_School_Blocks

I just posted on WP:AN. I'd appreciate if, while the matter is discussed, you'd refrain from blocking schools for 6 months when they have no history of vandalism. If consensus does support 6 month blocks, I'd be happy to go back through and fix the block times for you. Thanks, alphachimp 17:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
