Requesting to join a debate for James Stunt

@Sir Sputnik: I'm requesting you to join this Afd discussion. Your comment is valuable to us. Please help us reach a consensus. Thanks -Khocon (talk) 19:40, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Did you assess the strength of the arguments on this one before closing, because the detailed analysis of the sources invalidates the points of the people voting keep. https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nichole_Mead I'd prefer to see it relisted for others to look at the new information. Legacypac (talk) 01:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I need to ask you to reconsider your close...

...here , given the large number of Keeps from SPAs, and the preponderance of other keep comments that clearly show a lack of comprehension of the nomination rationale. The outcome at this point would be, at best, No consensus but more importantly it's puzzling why you closed this nom before even the usual 7 days had passed. EEng (talk) 02:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@EEng: Let me start with your last comment. Please recheck the timestamps, as this page was nominated on 11 December and closed 7 days later on 18 December. I assume that this is a time zone issue and that it is not yet 18 December where you are. Second, with most commenters specifically calling out the suitability of standalone article, I see no reason to think that commenters have misunderstood the nomination. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they have misunderstood you. Finally, you would do well to re-read WP:SPA. Many editors consider the "single-purpose" label insulting, and you are consistently getting it wrong. Just for example, you are suggesting that an editor who regularly edits articles on the oldest people and football (soccer) in England is single-purpose. Regards. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:16, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Apologies if I was off a day. Your response underscores the importance of making sure non-admins don't make closes in this fraught topic area. (And no, the SPA tags are completely appropriate, including that for the sometime football editor.) Thanks anyway. EEng (talk) 03:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I also believe your close needs to be reconsidered. Your response seems to lack a proper understanding of how SPAs potentially canvased off wiki are making uninformed comments. It also appears like you did a vote count without considering the strength of the arguments. These SPAs generally don't make sound policy arguments. I'll also note that if you look at the edit history of Ollie you will find nearly all his edits are on longevity and therefore he is clearly an SPA. Legacypac (talk) 05:03, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks s there a way to keep two articles nominated for afd

Thanks for deciding to keep the article on the Soul Survivors. Is there a way we can keep two articles on Henry Flynt and The Insurrections and the Stumblin' Blox. I did an expansion on the Insurrections and I think it is now and obvious keeper. The editors who voted "delete" did so before I did the expansion and before I pointed out that the band had three notable members. While the Stumblin' Blox' may not look as strong, I ask that the article be given a reprieve, because new information could emerge on them in time. I want to buy the CD compilations with them included and see if the liner notes can yield more information. Please see the discussion there. I have accomplished a lot for Misplaced Pages in the last year including a massive expansion of the Garage rock article that just went GA. People can get demoralized here. I feel a little bit starved for appreciation quite frankly. Garagepunk66 (talk) 05:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

@Garagepunk66: I appreciate your position here, and know the feeling of burnout all too well. Unfortunately, there's little I can do here. By speaking to me about these afd's with a suggested outcome, you've canvassed me. This means it's no longer appropriate for me to participate in these discussions let along close them. I'm sorry. Sir Sputnik (talk) 05:51, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry--I didn't realize that the canvas rule applied to administrators. But, I thank you anyway. You seem to be a person of fair judgment. Best wishes to you. Garagepunk66 (talk) 06:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

P.S.: On a lighter note, I think that you will be pleased to know that I will be supporting Bernie Sanders for president. Here in the states, I think we need a good old fashioned socialist to relieve us of all this greed and excessive corporatism that is strangling our society. Garagepunk66 (talk) 06:17, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

if you came to Misplaced Pages looking for encouragement or affirmation you are in the wrong place, though there might be articles on those topics. Legacypac (talk) 08:13, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

I certainly did not come here for that purpose, but after one works as hard as I did on something as big as that expansion, it is a nice thing to have (after the fact). But, I just noticed that you complimented me for the expansion (on the discussion page), so I am humbly grateful. Thanks for your acknowledgement there. Your appreciation means a lot to me.

Boldklubben Frem

Please check out Boldklubben Frem. A person is editting weird things thats incorrect and unsourced. Fodbold-fan (talk) 20:06, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

@Fodbold-fan: You seem to have everything under control yourself. In any case, I've given the IP a final warning for vandalism. If the problem persists, you can report them to WP:AIV. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:17, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you :) Fodbold-fan (talk) 21:18, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

I have been attacked by Walter Görlitz

User Bmrsh

Hello,

A couple of days ago I saw that a new user called Bmrsh created the article about a footballer named Tymothy Finkel. It was written in a way that seemed he had a strong connection with the player, and he didn't cite any references. I made an notification box that the article can be delieted if he didn't cite any references, but the user deleted the box and continued updating the article with unsourced materal. What can I/us do about that?

// Psemmler (talk) 00:40, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

@Psemmler: I've reinstated the tag BLPPROD tag and explained to Bmrsh that they have to cite sources in biographies of living persons. I'll keep an eye the page in case it happens again. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:46, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! // Psemmler (talk) 00:47, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

please stop editing my list.

what do you mean difficult to understand? if anything it makes it easier and more accessible for people.

Albanian Superliga

Hi, further to you picking up sock-puppetry at the above article, further edits were made, and I reverted those. Do we need to report? Regards. Eldumpo (talk) 09:46, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

And my edit has now been reverted by IP @GiantSnowman: Eldumpo (talk) 09:49, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Further examples at Faroe Islands Premier League (different IP address). Eldumpo (talk) 09:51, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

The IPs are not the same (unless they are using a proxy) - the 'Albanian' is in Brazil and the 'Faroese' is in South Korea. GiantSnowman 10:14, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Pretty sure they are both Alexiulian from the edits made e.g. adding 'Performances' back in. Eldumpo (talk) 10:17, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I think recent IP edits at Bulgarian A Football Group may also be Alexiulian. See also post at my talk page. @GiantSnowman:. Eldumpo (talk) 12:13, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I thought Alexiulian was Romanian? That IP is in Bulgaria. GiantSnowman 12:30, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

@Eldumpo: @GiantSnowman: This all looks pretty clear cut to me. Alexiulian has been using open proxies so the location data is meaningless. The edit summaries are similar enough to conclude that the 'Albanian' and 'Bulgarian' are the same person and are consistent with Alex's comments in the past. (Note the spacing around punctuation marks). The 'Faroese' IP has left no edit summaries, but the content of edits to Faroe Islands Premier League is consistent with previous edits from Alexiulian, particularly the use of <center> tags in WikiTables. Snowman, if you could block these IP's it would be much appreciated. Cheers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

 Done - good spot with the punctuation btw. GiantSnowman 17:27, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Seyed Ahmad Hosseinian

Hi, Please check.--Samək 07:27, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

@Samak: I've reverted the article to what appears to be the last clean version. However, this means the article is now about two years out of date, so you may want to update it. I hope that helps. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:02, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
