What excatlly are you doing to the ZOOM articles. it looks very confussing nowSaylaveer (talk) 00:04, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

When you split the articles out, you did not follow the directions on WP:SPLIT, which requires a message in the edit summary stating that the article was split from the original article. A message at the article where the material originated is also needed to state where the information went to. This is REQUIRED for legal reasons. The edits I did to the Zoom page were to satisfy this legal requirement. Please be more careful next time you split an article out; it'll save other editors a lot of trouble and prevent a lawsuit for the Wikimedia Foundation. Thank you, 青い(Aoi) (talk) 06:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Talkback

 Looks like a duck to me... and the rabbit hole goes deeper. Dave 17:47, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

• The CU was declined as stale, but if the patrolling case clerk admin doesn't think enough of the behavioural evidence provided to block, please consider going to ANI with this info. I am strongly of the opinion people like him who cannot co-operate with others in a cordial manner and refuse to abide by policy, instead dismissing them, do not deserve editing privileges. StrPby (talk) 00:22, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Quack!

• UPDATE: Need your help now to file an SPI to record this, I'm currently indispensable as I'm in the midst of expanding an article. Cheers~! --Dave 13:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

• My apologies, I can't file an SPI right now--I'm very busy at work, trying to meet a crucial accounting deadline for this upcoming Tuesday. I might be able to assist next week? Thanks, 青い(Aoi) (talk) 20:18, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

• Actually, I didn't request it... see → User talk:LessHeard vanU#Foxhound66 is back, again ←. --Dave 11:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

I filed the request, and the results sure are interesting! Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 14:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

iCarly

I know you voted to keep the show's second and third seasons merged as one season due to them all coming from the same production season despite all of the evidence I provided to defend the case seeing as though you apparently read everything. I've been having a hard time with the main three opposers (Kevinbrogers, AussieLegend, and Alec2011) trying to understand this. They don't want the fact that there are two season cycles existing and are trying to get around everything I provide in defense of that so that there's only one, and it follows by the production cycle. But I was wondering if you could have a second thought about all of this by examining my evidence again since I don't think you examined it clearly on the Talk Page. You had a whole bunch of discussion to absorb into your head from both sides, but below are links that support my defense and it's all you have to worry about absorbing now. It's all of the evidence supporting the broadcast split I provided on the talk page including new evidence (after you left) that indicate that a broadcast split did happen with the Season 2 production episodes airing as two separate seasons:

• Nathan's interview: (August 2009)
• Dan's blog: (September 2009)
• Another Dan's blog where he indicates that "iThink They Kissed" was the airing S3 premiere: (October 2009)
• This is something I recently came across. This is one Nathan video where he talks about the difference between the two cycles: . Here he tells the interviewer that they were taking a hiatus from shooting new episodes (after spending time filming episodes from April 2008 to August 2009), but within a few months time were going to do their third season of filming, which was going to be their fourth season in airing. He says all of this around the 2:00 minute mark. (October 2009)
• Another Nathan video interview where the interviewer call the upcoming Season 4 (2010-11) as such and Nathan doesn't correct him if there wasn't a split: (April 2010)
• Another Nathan video interview where the interviewers call Season 5 (2011-12 ) as such and Nathan doesn't correct them if they were wrong: (May 2011)
• A Nick press release listing all 2xx coded episodes from the iLove Carly Collection being from Season 2 and Season 3: (May 2011)
• A third Dan blog where he states that each time there's a new season there's a new opening credits. Since he stated in the first blog that the network was calling the remaining Season 2 production episodes the show's "third season" he made a new opening for those episodes: (August 2011)
• The tweet from Miranda Cosgrove calling it Season 6: (January 2012)
• A tweet from some music company on One Direction guest-appearing on iCarly Season 6:

So yeah, that's everything I could gather up and it's all pretty useful, especially the couple of Nathan interviews where he talks about it. Aussie tried throwing those out because he's a cast member and thinks he doesn't or shouldn't know anything about the show regarding it's seasons. I'm pretty sure think that's something they should know since they're around the creator and the production team all the time when they're filming episodes. Dan's blog is useful to where he talks about it. Don't be confused on behalf of what Kevinbrogers said. He wasn't sure on when the broadcast Season 3 was going to be begin airing out of the Season 2 production episodes, not if the filming season itself was going to be split. That was just another one of Kevinbrogers' ways of trying to get around things to again, indicate his personal insight on there only being one season cycle. It's the use of one labeling after another that's created a whole issue on Misplaced Pages and the discussion there is still being open about it. So while the next season is the actual Season 5, it's not going to air that way because of the situation of how the Season 2 episodes were aired out, affecting the airing label of the other seasons apart from it's production label. The number coding will always reflect upon the real season number of a season, but it's airing number will always be different. Feel free to give me your feedback if you wish. Are you still having confusion or concerns or is everything cleared with you now? - Jabrona - 21:16, 19 February 2012

Vandalism at University of Hawaii and University of Hawaii Manoa Articles

Aloha Aoi, I hope that you noticed my contributions at both pages, helping to deal with the vandalism that occurred, and found them constructive. As a result of this incident, I have recently requested rollback, in case I encounter a situation like this in the future so that I can deal with it better. If you found my contributions helpful to this end, I would appreciate if you could vouch for what I did at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_permissions/Rollback#User:Dalisays if you have time. Thanks for any consideration. Dalisays (talk) 05:39, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hawaii edit-a-thon!

Hello. I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November. The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Honolulu public library. I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project. If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to 2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon?--v/r - TP 07:40, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Looking for editors to help with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu

Aloha!

Last summer I moved to the Seattle area after 14 years in Kailua on Oahu. I immediately fell in with the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group as it formed, joined its board and became its first president as well as the GLAM representative for Washington State.

Recently, Adriel Luis, Curator (Digital & Emerging Media) at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, contacted me about setting up an edit-a-thon like the previous Misplaced Pages APA edit-a-thon. In addition to discussing one for Seattle, he wrote:

As I was working two jobs while I lived on Oahu, I did not have the opportunity to meet your or any other Wikipedians at the time. Hence, the reason why I am contacting you now.

If you would like to help, please contact me through one of these methods:

• Email me directly at peaceray@cascadia.wiki
• Use Special:EmailUser/Peaceray to email me
• Leave a message for me on my talk page.

Mahalo,
Peaceray

Hello

Thanks for your comments on my report of Fan4Life. But the user recently starts another unreasonable argument on Ariana Grande discography again and has mentioned me several times on the talk page. It's quite irritable and disappointed to me. Can you just make some comments? Thank you and have a good day. --U990467 (talk) 14:27, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Reverts

Please don't make so many reverts. After the first couple you should go for WP:DR or WP:3O. Be mindful of WP:3RR as you've breached it and could have been blocked. --John (talk) 22:09, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi @John:, I appreciate this, and will stop reverting for now; however, the user I am reverting is the blocked long-term vandal User:Nate Speed. See Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/Nate Speed/Archive for a history of their abuse; see, for example, this attack by a previously blocked IP sockpuppet of the master. I have continued to revert past the third reversion because reversions of edits made in evasion of a block are not counted toward the 3RR. I did report this abuse earlier at WP:AIV (see ), though I am not sure if that was the appropriate venue. Sincerely, 青い(Aoi) (talk) 22:15, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

And, just like that, the user jumped to another IP to continue their vandalism. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 22:19, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

What you think about these IPs? Comment

Hi Aoi, what do you think about these 178.22.170.123, 5.167.49.12, 70.35.195.179? All three seem to be interacting including talking on each others pages, as well as trying to get the information added back in and asking in different places, See Misplaced Pages:Reference desk/Entertainment#Toon Boom Animation.27s removed filmography sections, Misplaced Pages:Help desk#Toon Boom Animation.27s removed filmography sections and Misplaced Pages:Reference desk/Computing#Toon Boom Animation.27s removed filmography sections. I mean they won't be able to get the information added back in but appears they are working together. NZFC 07:55, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi NZFC; much thanks for flagging the user's odd behavior at the help desk. I am about 99% sure that all of the IPs are the same person. Specifically, I believe them to be sockpuppets of the banned user Nate Speed, who has a history of jumping IP address (using proxies spanning different continents) to evade his site ban. I have filed a sockpuppetry case on the IPs here; you can view his colorful history at his archived sockpuppet investigations page, and see his ban discussion at ANI here). 青い(Aoi) (talk) 08:08, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Ok good, glad it’s somewhat under control and being looked into. Will keep an eye on them as well while waiting for the investigation to happen. NZFC 08:13, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks NZFC, much appreciated. I doubt the IPs will become active again though -- if it is Nate Speed, the user tends to dump IPs after using them once (not sure why), so he'll probably just keep jumping to fresh IPs. Greetings to you in NZ from Hawaii! 青い(Aoi) (talk) 08:19, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

• zzuuzz, see also my recent log. Anything you can do? Are there any filterers around? MusikAnimal? Drmies (talk) 03:42, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
• There's more from this screamer hinted at in the section above this one. Drmies (talk) 03:47, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

For the record I agree with Aoi's analysis. I would think semi-protection is the way to go. -- zzuuzz 05:45, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Some Appreciation

I really appreciate you dealing with any Nate Speed related accounts. Dealing with unregistered users is always frustrating for me, especially when trying to celebrate the holidays peacefully. — FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 10:22, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

FilmandTVFan28, thank YOU for all your help with Nate Speed and the number of other vandals I see you dealing with on a daily basis. If there is anything that I can help you with, please let me know -- I agree that dealing with malicious users who aren't registered can be tricky and frustrating. Happy Holidays! 青い(Aoi) (talk) 02:20, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

You're welcome and thanks. I'll let you if I ever do encounter many more and need assistance. — FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 03:00, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Disney Media Distribution are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages.

I don't think you will get a warning, unless you're specifically and intentionally making a lot of edits that go against the manual of style. However, other users might make changes (copyedits) to your edits to meet the manual of style. Hope this helps, let me know if you have questions. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 01:09, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
