Hi Alison. You've helped me on occasion in the past with oversight issues and tracking down block evaders and I really appreciate it. I have a completely different issue now. I'm being harassed through a subtle form of outing. I'd like to discuss it with an admin offline. How do I go about doing this? Should I submit an OTRS ticket? Thanks in advance. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 06:29, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

• Hi there. If it's privacy-related, can you email me, please? We can take this off-line - Alison ^❤ 07:08, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

It is privacy-related but impatience got the best of me so I submitted an OTRS ticket yesterday. I'll e-mail you if I need any additional help. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:21, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Sorry about the delay in replying. My new job has me very busy these days and I'm not on WP for nearly as much as I used to be. Hope OTRS folks can help you out :) - Alison ^❤ 18:30, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Ha, no need to apologize. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:37, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Regarding certain articles you deleted recently, there are two more that remain [1] [2]. They should be gone for the same reason, unless I'm missing something.Legitimus (talk) 12:38, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Sadly, the article was just vandalized again by the same editor. What do you think we should do? -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:09, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I've actually gone ahead and

suppressed that edit, per policy. Not okay at all! - Alison ^❤

Hey. Thanks for the move/merge. :-) I must say, I'm a bit dismayed by the apparent cultural acidity toward new articles (or perhaps toward old users) around here these days... it's giving me plenty to think on, in any case. Hope you're well. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:21, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

P.S. commons:File:Emails.jpg in your edit notice is super-cute!

Thanks for your edit to Weev. I was unsure about the reliable source policy. Would it be possible to link to the article without making any assertions as to its content? Hebrew Warrior (talk) 02:25, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

• Hi there. Not really, per
  WP:BLP as it could be considered quite disparaging. You'd need some pretty hardcore, reliable sources before you can brand a living person as a neo-nazi - Alison ^❤

Hi Alison would you mind reviewing the block of this user? I know you have check-user status and am hoping for a closure of this case. Backround: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive860#Questionable user identity Thanks! - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:58, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

The Irish are anti-Semites who side with the Arabian imperialists in order steal the Jewish homeland. You scum recognize the fake "State of Palestine," an illegal Arabian colonial entity on Jewish land.

• It's really hard to care, Jeremy. I've largely moved on from Wikipedia & shite like this doesn't bother me. I couldn't even be bothered reverting it, to be honest. You - you, on the other hand, are still here after almost a decade of wasting your time lookup up proxies. Your fail is writ large on Wikipedia - it truly is. Grow the fuck up and move on already. Noone cares any more - Alison ^❤ 08:20, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
• You know very little about Jewish life in Ireland, BTW, which is kinda sad given you and your mom claim to be Jewish. Sixth president of Israel?, Gerald Goldberg? etc etc. Ireland has a rich, Jewish heritage - Alison ^❤ 08:24, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Yeah, a rich, Jewish heritage.
    hordes of them. And allowing the powerful Islamist lobby to influence Irish foreign policy, such as calling Israel "racist and apartheid" and recognizing a fake Arabian settler-colonist entity called "State of Palestine" that is illegally occupying Judea and Samaria.[3]
    • Awesome. Can you get some sources other than Wikipedia, y'know? How many Jewish Lord Mayors of Dublin have there been? Why don't you run along and tell me then - Alison ^❤ 03:24, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Alison would you mind blocking a user from accessing one of my clients page? User: 2001:18E8:3:10B1:5114:4D26:78BF:915F vandalized the page Emmanuel Adewole on 4 September. I have gone ahead and edited the page, but would like to prevent him or any other user from making changes to the page without consent. I know you have check-user status and am hoping for your help in dealing with this case. Thanks

Hello Alison. I hope that you are well. I came upon the edits by this person today and I am wondering if they meet the criteria for rev/del. While they are more adolescent nonsense then a specific attack I am thinking that they do bump up against

• Hi MarnetteD. Thanks for the note. You're absolutely right as those edits are

Can you unprotect Julia Allison? It's been over five years since you applied semi-protection. She has a much lower media profile now and the concerns about vandalism are probably long-gone by now. Little Professor (talk) 14:29, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Alison it's the former User:Sticky Parkin aka wikiwhistle.:) Could you have a look at the talk page and article Christina Hoff Sommers ?

Hi Alison - not sure the best way to get your attention. I'm writing about the MRKH page. The photo that is posted is not the best photo that "shows" the syndrome. In fact, if a newly diagnosed child types in "MRKH" into the website and this photo appears it can be rather scary (and offensive) to see especially to a vulnerable child. I would ask that you please remove the photo and replace it with another one that is more tactful for the internet. I would appreciate your support in removing the photo (on behalf of all the women and children with this syndrome). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucky978 (talk • contribs) 13:39, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

I always cringe a bit when I see people insulting vandals/bad faith users in edit summaries. They strive for a reaction and you losing your cool is exactly what they want. Reverting and semi protecting talk? Yes. Insulting the bad faith editor with words like 'douchebaggery' or 'hypocrity'? No. It's not anything against you, just that I'd rather administrators be setting the example. Revert, blocking and ignoring them (WP:RBI) is what I advocate for. Tutelary (talk) 02:46, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

• Cringe away. Same guy has been doing this since 2007 and has never slowed down. I'm largely done with here these days, and RBI doesn't work on some folks. 8 years an admin at this stage and getting tired ... - Alison ^❤ 02:52, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Alison. I see you are listed as an editor willing to consider providing copies of deleted articles. Could you please provide me with copy of the deleted article "Doye Agama", so that I can work on it with a view to making it acceptable. I regret the article has been judged unsatisfactory, and deleted. Archbishop Agama is certainly notable, in various ways, being (for just one example) the current moderator of the Forum of Churches Together in England.
