You may remember blocking Plumoyr (talk · contribs) back in late February for disruptively creating lots of international relations articles of the form "Greece-Moldova relations." You also blocked a sock of this user, Groubani (talk · contribs). I've opened up a new SPI about an account, Hilary T (talk · contribs) that has a lot of similarities to these two. If you're interested, the investigation is here [1].Bali ultimate (talk) 21:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would appreciate it if you could help on the Prithviraj Chauhan article.

I have found an online copy of a newspaper article that shows someone with a different name petitioned to have their name legally changed to "Count Vitus Sebastian Barbaro, Patrician of Venice" in 2004. While this is clear proof that Vitus Barbaro is a hoax, it does list the man's real name, so I'm unsure about whether it should be listed as evidence for the next time the hoax crops up.

Hi Nish. In the context of a possible RfA nom my recent interaction with you was brought up. I clearly see that I was in the wrong. Although I had some legitimate points to make, I went about it in a wholly inappropriate way. My heart was in the right place, I was trying to stick up for an editor who was having a difficult time, but my aggresive and mean-spirited push back was entirely inappropriate. I think editing Wikipedia should be fun, so I wanted the other editor to know that someone was pulling for them. No one should feel ganged up on. But I failed to consider how my behavior affected you and put you in a difficult and uncomfortable position that wasn't appropriate. I want to apologize. It was also bad form on my part to attack you for refactoring one of the bits I objected to (clearly you were receptive to input) and I needed to bring up my concerns in a more respectful and collegial manner. My frustrated approach wasn't helpful at all. I think dicussion with that editor would have been preferable to a block, but there is no evidence that you were acting anything but good faith. I apologize for my behavior. I will do better. Thank you for the restraint you showed in responding to my aggression and for your work on the encyclopedia. I look forward to working with you in the future and I hope your work here is a lot more fun, interesting, and pleasant than your interaction was with me. Sorry about that. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the note. I really appreciate it. The RfA isn't going anywhere, but it's been an interesting endeavor that's provided some good feedback. I'm mostly looking forward to getting back to editing once some of the craziness wraps up. Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:41, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"the wrong version" thing applies to symmetric disputes. What you seem to be doing is boost Wikipedia:Anti-elitism. We have Grandmaster (talk · contribs) heaping reference on academic reference, and a bunch of patriots who keep reverting the lone encyclopedist anyway. I do suggest we try and allow for a minimal attempt at Wikipedia:Expert retention. Some "disputes" are simply "disputes". Others are scholarly references vs. WP:IDHT. Admins are expected to be able to tell one from the other, remain completely neutral in the former case, and protect the project goals in latter. --dab (𒁳) 16:37, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And what do you propose I do? Revert back to your version, fully protect the page (or keep the edit warring going by doing nothing?) and then get accused by some third party on AN/I of abusing the tools? Erm, I'd rather not get involved in that bureaucratic mess. Get the "dispute" resolved on the talk page. If you feel you're being strong-armed by Armenian nationalists, then get the opinions of some third parties to even things out.

This could be an indication that he is a new incarnation of VivaNorthCyprus, OR it could be a coincidence, since the IP address is assigned to Cyprus, and thus editors from Cyprus may have a natural inclincation to edit articles about Cyprus. I am confused as to how to proceed, and I am writing you to see if his edits match those of the blocked user, or if they do not and if this is a coincidence. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 21:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found him operating on two IP ranges exclusively used in the past by VivaNorthCpyrus. His user agent is not identical, but very closely related. His knowledge of ref tags also appears to be a bit suspicious. At this point, I'd rule it  Inconclusive. I'll adjust my rangeblock to AO, ACB and monitor this user's editing in the future.

Thank you, sir! May I have another?--199.33.32.40 (talk) 21:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New York City Meetup Next: Sunday May 17th, Columbia University area Last: 03/29/2009 This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, establish a membership process for the chapter, review the upcoming Wiki-Conference New York 2009 (planned for ~100 people at NYU this summer) and future projects like Wikipedia at the Library, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the March meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

Hello. I want to request an article to be edit protected. I have created article Chitkara University for my college. But fellow students have been vandalizing it on regular basis, some times adding spam or adding content with no context to the article. I don't know what I can do about it. So I'm requesting you to editprotect the aticle, so that nothing of this sort happens in future.

Thanks! --Priyanka (talk) 07:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The same as before. There are probably some more open proxies here. Uncle G (talk) 14:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All on the same IP as BabyWhale and crew. Hardblocked IP as an open proxy for 5 years. Thanks, Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 23:32, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some more. Uncle G (talk) 20:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked some more accounts and open proxies. Thanks, Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 20:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since you said RtS was operating off of a proxy, did you block said proxy per WP:OPENPROXY?— Dædαlus ^Contribs 02:46, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 02:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came across a user on Yahoo! Answers claiming that he is User:Sjbraden and that he is not a sock in the way that you blocked him for. Can you give me any applicable evidence that this is not true? If not, I'd like to assume good faith until proven otherwise, and unblock him. It would certainly be disappointing if he was, in fact, a sockpuppet, but it would be more disappointing were he to be a legitimate user unfairly blocked. While his contribution certainly looked like it might belong to a sock, I think that it's probably worth it to try unblocking him. {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 23:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
