Hey

Just wanted to say thanks for the early unblock, the article is now a Good article. Darkness Shines (talk) 08:56, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations and well done! Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:34, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

said so, too, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, what are the chances of another exemption to the TBAN? I would like to try and work on few userspace drafts. I will obviously not be moving them to mainspace until such a time as you figure the TBAN can be lifted. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:00, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

If you wait another 2 or 3 weeks I'd very likely lift it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:45, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Cool, it will take that long at least to get this to GA status, thanks. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:11, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

enrolment of town

As u know that karnal sher kaly is the big town and the oldest town commiti of swabi distric kpk but it still not the part of Google earth and weather forecast — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.33.253.213 (talk) 10:46, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi 39.33.253.213, Misplaced Pages has no control and isn't related to Google Earth or weather forecasts so I can't help you. If you're referring to a Misplaced Pages page can you please give me the web address or the exact title of the page so I can look into it further. Thank you, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Any way to get priority on an SPI?

Can you look into Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Dr. Syed Shahzad Ali Najmi, or let me know if there is any way to raise the priority of this report? The sock farm involved have been disruptively !voting on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Shahzad Ali Najmi, and I'd like to be able to weed out the invalid comments for greater clarity in the discussion. WikiDan61_ReadMe!! 14:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

@WikiDan61: If you add at least one diff or point to a blatant pattern of editing for each account and request checkuser (change {{SPI case status|}} to {{SPI case status|CURequest}}, that's probably going to be the fastest way. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 14:27, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Please, please help me

Callanecc and Lord Roem, I have been sick for a few days, and the old dog I inherited from my son and DIL (after their last baby was born) has been, too, and this is what I see going on upon my return:

SH -

SR -

The whole discussion: Gone silent?!?

Is this acceptable behavior? That first one of SR's really bothers me. I am no paid advocate for anyone, nor a volunteer advocate for anyone for that matter. Do I edit in an area that is important to me? Yes! Like the majority of WP editors, I imagine. Don't you?

I am so tired of being talked about like this... but I really don't want to be driven off. I just want other editors like these two to quit speculating about me and trying to brand me. Is there no way to get editors to quit talking about others like this without evidence?

I thought about using some formal process to report this, but I am so tired. And feeling a bit queasy in my stomach like I did last fall when I first reached out to SR for help.

Please, please help.

A ruling is needed

Please will you take a look at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Septate: alternative proposal. You may recognise the proposed sanction; it is similar to one used successfully elsewhere. The proposal is the result of a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#SProposal for a topic ban on Septate. Septate asked for clarification, and I gave it at User talk:Septate#July 2014 ANI.

As all parties seem to be agreed, it only needs an admin to approve it (or not).--Toddy1 (talk) 21:37, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Question on redir you created

Hi Callenecc,

I've known about the WP:Casting aspersions shortcut for some time, but I had forgotten that instead of going to a section of WP:AGF or related policy/guideline, it actually goes to a paragraph in the principles section of an individual ARB ruling. I am writing you about it because you created the redir.

Is there a reason it points to a specific case ruling? Is there somewhere in policy or guidelines that would be less of an WP:EGG, assuming you perceive it as an EGG at all? If you agree it could be better pointed elsehwere but have no opinions as to a better place, I'm willing to work on figuring that out. Thanks for your thoughts. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 12:15, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, another place I can think of which would be appropriate is the 5th dot point at WP:NPA#WHATIS. However I think the principle deals with it in more detail, would have been good if the arbs had linked to WP:NPA but you can't have everything. If you can find somewhere better than that dot point go for. Thanks for asking as well. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:01, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

List of association football teams to have won four or more trophies in one season article

The IP-hopper has predictably shown up with a registered account, as CoUser1 (talk · contribs); see here. Flyer22 (talk) 13:48, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I've fully protected the article. The edit warring here is a ridiculous. Since you're relying on the vandalism exception to 3RR you should have reported it account to AIV and waited, there's nothing in their edit for which they'd be a problem if it were live with an admin dealt with the request. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:08, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Callanecc, I was using WP:Huggle and was waiting for it to report CoUser1 to WP:AIV; it failed to do that. If CoUser1 had continued, I would have manually reported him there if WP:Huggle had failed again. Regarding full protecting the article, this is not a content dispute for me, considering that I don't care about the article other than stopping WP:Vandalism or other WP:Disruptive editing going on at it; I stumbled on to it while using WP:STiki. Not only is CoUser1 proving a problem for different editors at that article, he is, as you know, altering and removing people's comments at the article's talk page. He should be blocked, as far as I'm concerned; and seeing him in action, it seems that an indefinite block, not a temporary block, is what would be needed. I thought about going to Black Kite about the matter, since he semi-protected the article, but since he didn't respond to my suggestion here at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection, I came to you, the one who did respond to it. Flyer22 (talk) 01:40, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Didn't notice what the edits to the talk page were actually doing. I've blocked them for two days, we'll see what happens then. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:45, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Flyer22 (talk) 01:54, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

PC protection on pages expiring on July 2014

Extend time for rock and roll, Billy Collins, Inner core? --George Ho (talk) 18:27, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with it running out on all of them, there probably isn't enough recent activity to warrant protection. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:10, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Stalking by SH

@Callanecc:, I know that my talk page isn't really MY talk page, but, considering that he and I were topic-banned under the same decision for edit warring, and considering that he's been warned about speculating, along with another editor, about my identity and intentions as an editor, I protest Scalhotrod's reverting my talk page based on what HE thinks does or does not belong there - especially in a discussion that he wasn't involved in.

I think most are aware of it by now, but I think Misplaced Pages should do something a little more aggressive about PA and harassment behavior on the project. Lightbreather (talk) 16:01, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

OMG, while I was writing this, he did it again! Please help! Lightbreather (talk) 16:04, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Actually I was just following a fairly involved conversation that included several Admins that happened to bleed over onto your Talk page. The discussion from AN was even noted on the AN Project page before it was shut down "here". As for my edits, I was just preserving the full conversation for accuracy. As I stated in my edit summary, "If you're going to archive something, do it accurately without censorship or revisionism". Obviously you're free to change it nor will I revert it if you do. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) 16:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Which you just did... --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) 16:32, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

This man is stalking me online. He is saying things about me on others' pages without offering evidence. Will you please do something about this, or direct to the best place for handling it? Off to ANI again? I am tired of being asked not to be sensitive or to ignore this kind of conduct quite obviously directed at me. Please help! Lightbreather (talk) 18:06, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

For the record, I am not stalking anyone. Lightbreather, I just don't care enough about you to put forth the effort. Your edits pop up in my watch list because of our previous interaction. I simply got tired of removing ANI and similar pages from my Watch list, so now they pop up all the time. I have to admit that I find the conversations fairly interesting.

As for stalking, you just rather openly assumed bad faith about my reason for joining the Gender Gap Task Force AND made reference to a Personal Attack you made on me (twice!) in the recent ARE proceeding that got us Topic Banned. I have interacted with several of the members far longer than you have been an active editor on Misplaced Pages and respect their efforts and opinions. Your alarmist and personal bias driven accusations are becoming tedious. I am now asking YOU to stop this. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

FYI re Septate

As you were the one who closed the previous discussion regarding Septate Dougweller suggested you be advised of the urrent disussion regarding Septate at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Septate breaking his newly imposed editing restrictions.John Carter (talk) 19:12, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
