I haven't received a response to the e-mail I sent, so I'll duplicate it here, in case you didn't receive it. In order for you to release this content, you will need to e-meail the volunteer response team at permissions-enlists.wikimedia.org with this template: WP:CONSENT. After review, a volunteer will make the appropriate changes to indicate permission has been received. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:56, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Help Needed

Hi mate, I am contacting you after a long time. This time another gentleman is vandalizing the article on Marwat through multiple socks. Though I have tried to persuade him not to insert vanity entries in this article but now he has found a new way of doing it. First he created an article on Leading Families of Lakki Marwat and then on Ghazni Khel (Clan) and inserted all the same entries over there, which by the way is a word to word duplication of information already given in the parent article on Marwat except all the vanity entries of petty relatives of this editor. He also created an article on Marwat's Histroy which was once again the same stuff and I also nominated the same for speedy deletion and was removed accordingly. Now, like an earlier vandal this guy has also started to threaten me on the deletion discussion over here . Please look into this issue and take appropriate action against these one time editors coming through anonymous IPs. Some of them are Meenakhel, 119.153.92.236, 218.22.11.67, User:Mahabat, 119.153.88.69, 119.153.94.184 119.153.81.206 and a few more. One can see the pattern that the person is logging from the same IP area. I hope like past you would take serious note of this threat about destroying my article. Good Day. -- MARWAT  12:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

After reviewing, I think it would be better to start a sockpuppet investigation, so we can take appropriate action and ask any checkusers if necessary. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:51, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

He is silent for now. Lets see if he comes back with something new in his kitty then I might file a sockpuppet investigation. thanks. -- MARWAT  07:13, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!

Deletion discussion started by sockpuppet

Hello, one of the sockpuppets you recently blocked has started a deletion discussion here. Since the nomination was not done in good faith, is there any chance it could be closed? Laurent (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, done. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

BLP deletion

Please restore any out-of-process deletions and make no more out-of-process deletions. Maurreen (talk) 03:30, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

What are you talking about? The only deletions that Peter has made recently were made as a result of patrolling C:CSD. NW (Talk) 03:34, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

If I am mistaken, I apologize. Maurreen (talk) 03:48, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

This deletion was a few weeks ago, I acknowledge. But if it followed our procedures, that is not clear. Maurreen (talk) 05:58, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Sexual enslavement by Nazi Germany in World War II

Hi you deleted Sexual enslavement by Nazi Germany in World War II under A10. Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion#A10 states a "recently created article" and I am fairly sure this article was not recently created and hence should not have been speedied. Also it appears it may have been moved and hence was a redirect. Could you please undo this deletion. Thanks. Polargeo (talk) 07:34, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Actually this is more worrying than I thought. This long standing article appears to have been moved without discussion and then gutted of most of its references and replaced by a lot of unreferenced text to show a biased POV by User:Linksnational. I think the changes should be undone and the article put back where it was so a discussion about such major alterations can take place. Polargeo (talk) 07:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

What alerted me to this is Linksnational removing several related see alsos (including this article) with no edit summary from an article I have on my watchlist. Polargeo (talk) 07:55, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

There's no edit history for this page (well, two edits, including the tagging). It appeared that it was copy-pasted from German brothels in World War II, so the edit history appears to be elsewhere. If the move was a mistake, it can be moved back over the deleted target without issue. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 10:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I see that it was moved from Sexual enslavement by Nazi Germany in World War II to German brothels in World War II earlier in the day that you deleted it. So in that case you speedy deleted the redirect left from an article move. A10 is for articles not redirects. The reason it had little history is I assume because the article had just been moved. But you are right because you deleted the redirect I can just move it back, thanks. Polargeo (talk) 13:31, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't a redirect; it was a copy/paste. :-) PeterSymonds (talk) 13:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I just don't know how that happened then bacause there has been an article under that name for over 2 years. I have just moved it back. I suppose what must have happened is the article was moved then someone did the cut and paste over the redirect and then it was incorrectly tagged for deletion under A10. Anyway all done now. Polargeo (talk) 13:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Frome move

Thanks for moving Frome, Somerset to Frome. Any chance you could do the same for Talk:Frome, Somerset to Talk:Frome? --Simple Bob (talk) 12:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, that was daft of me. Fixed now, thanks. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:20, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Rescue 15 ...

Thanks for dealing with this sock so quickly. I'll continue to monitor the situation to see if he comes back yet again under yet another username. If he does, what is the best way to go about raising the SPI again? Astronaut (talk) 16:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

No problem. :-) Filing a new case is the same as you did before; the new case will just overwrite the existing content. Just remember to create the new page with the master account's name, to keep the pages centralised. Hope that helps. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Question

Hi there. What happens to the user pages of the editor and the IP editor that I reported for possible sockpuppetery, now that you've closed the case? On their user pages the "sockpuppeteer" tag is still visible. Shouldn't these tags be auto-removed? Amsaim (talk) 16:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. I wish there was a way we could auto-remove them, but unfortunately that doesn't seem possible at the moment. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Could you reopen the highyack07 case?

highyack07 is back as another user: User:Train12. I got lucky doing recent changes patrol to see that he editted a new userpage. I don't know how to reopen the case and did not want to revert your action. The case is Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Highyack07. I have a feeling Misplaced Pages has not seen the last of him. He has an ego that he wants to feed. He seems to like Robert McNamara and the name Train for his persona. --Morenooso (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Blocked, thanks. You can re-open a SPI case yourself by following the instructions at WP:SPI. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:17, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I was unsure how to do it. I have a feeling this guy will be back. Since he used a Train12, I wonder other TrainXX users or even highyackXX exist?--Morenooso (talk) 16:20, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I just looked at that SPI page. I did not see a tab listing how to reopen the case. This may be above my computing power as I am fighting a head cold. I think the case should be left open as highyack07 is a power trip. I bet he might have other accounts and will be back. --Morenooso (talk) 16:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your help today, Peter, it is very much appreciated! -- Avi (talk) 22:03, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. :-) PeterSymonds (talk) 22:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Codendi.

I have been surprised by a so speedy deletion of my article page about Codendi. It is said that there were nothing notable about the application : in my opinion, it is a very useful open source ALM, and more than 50.000 users have downloaded it from the community web site. Codendi is mentioned in other articles from Misplaced Pages, in which you can find other specific softwares which all have a dedicated article. I thought that Codendi was missing. So could you please advise me to achieve an accepted article, in order to complete this information about Codendi? Many thanks, Fedwa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fedwa (talk • contribs) 14:58, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, the article was deleted by community consensus, at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Codendi. The sources did not demonstrate the subject's notability, which you will need to do if you want the article to stay. It has been protected against recreation for the time being; please take any new article to deletion review, for review, if you want to recreate it.

Wizdome page deletion

What about the Wizdom page caused deletion because of: "(A7: No indication that the article may meet the guidelines for inclusion (CSDH))" ? Please assist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockstaradonis (talk • contribs) 19:17, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello; the article did not demonstrate notability of the subject, per our notability guideline for music groups. See our reliable sourcing policy for information on improving referencing, and our related verifiability policy. Remember that sourcing should be independent secondary sources which clearly demonstrate why this band is notable for inclusion. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Abuse_of_Page_Protection_tools

You are one of Durova's friends. Please revert yourself. Shoemaker's Holiday 21:09, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't be silly. The current thread is going nowhere. I am an admin, and that is an admin noticeboard; although I sympathise with whatever has occurred, it isn't the right place to pursue discussion. A request for comment on user conduct would be more appropriate, if you wish to pursue the chat. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:11, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

If it makes you happy Shoemaker, Peter can undo his close of the thread and I'll promptly redo it. Comes to the same outcome so why bother? Pedro :  Chat  21:14, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Pedro. Shoemaker, with regard to your accusation, I haven't been an active participant at WikiVoices for at least a few months now, and haven't participated in a recorded episode for about the same duration. Whatever you may feel about WikiVoices, or anything related to it, my close was not solicited by anybody. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:25, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
