A Query

Hello J.delanoy! Fist of all thank you for confirming the sockpuppets on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Postnoonnews. I wanted to know regarding the IP addresses which I had reported, where only one of them has been CheckUser blocked by you. As both of us can see that all the three IP's trace to one single ISP at one single place and they most probably are dynamic IP's as can be seen from the range. So will those 2 IP's be left unblocked or are they not required to be blocked ? Regards. ~TheGeneralUser (talk) 06:59, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The IPs that were blocked were the ones that needed to be blocked. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 19:45, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate the clean up on my user talk. I haven't see you aroound much and wanted to stop by and thank you for all your help in the past. I'll hit Google translate later with the cyrillic text and hope I'm amused :) see ya 'round Tiderolls 19:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Hockey Awards

Hello,

Looking at the history of the

Template:Infobox Hockey Awards it looks like you were the one who created this template. I had a question about this template. I wanted to add some more custom awards - up to 18. I tried just to copy paste the other lines and change the number but it did not seem to work. Could you help me add the additional custom awards parameters? If not no big deal Thanks --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44)

02:55, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, I'm not really sure why copy/past wouldn't work for you, but it looks like it's working now. Cheers! J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 05:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Huh, well I must have screwed up some other part of the code. At any rate thank you for adding the extra lines. Cheers! --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 05:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Mercury Morris

You just removed and edit i made to mercury morris page, in which i pointed out the fact that he pleaded no contest to felony drug trafficking charges in 1982. How are the facts considered "vandalism" ???? It is a fact Mercury Morris is a convicted felon, see below. Please don't censor me.

Hi, You Deleted a page about "Nike Sponsorships". So, Why man???????????? !!!!! That page was only and the best sources about nike sponsorships. What is your reason for deleting this page?

There's a link to the deletion discussion in my deletion rationale, which is displayed in the red box on the page. I deleted it because the admin who closed the discussion requested that I do so. I am a steward, so I can delete pages with more than 5000 revisions, something that the administrator user right does not allow you to do. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 18:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Unusual CU request

I have a problem customer here. He is extremely young and does nothing but post pictures of himself and siblings. I have done my best to explain, but I am afraid I am going to have to block him, and I would like to explain in his own language, if I knew what that was. I don't want to know his IP, but would it violate the CU's oath of secrecy to tell me his likely mother tongue? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:51, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Not having any CU information, I can tell you he's from the Philippines (based on his deleted user page). That usually implies that he at least knows Spanish. He does have a cute family and must have some photographic ability. EdJohnston (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

More likely English - one time when I was taking Spanish lessons I started an on-line chess game with an opponent in the Philippines with a carefully-prepared Spanish spiel saying "I am learning the language, and would be pleased to conduct the conversation for our game in Spanish, if you agree", plus more background, and got a reply saying "I got a dictionary and my friend helped and I think we understand what you mean, but in the Philippines we speak English or Tagalog these days!" Ed, thanks; JD, don't bother! JohnCD (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

So glad I could be of assistance ;-) (I'm at work and just saw this now). J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 21:41, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Maintaining a talk page staffed by helpful stalkers is being of assistance! JohnCD (talk) 21:43, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Unrelated CU question

Completely unrelated question: I have been contacted by someone whose neighbour in Germany seems to have lost money to a fraudulent company which back in 2010 tried to get itself a WP entry. That article, and another related one, were edited by three SPA accounts, as well as various IPs. I have told him that to get checkuser detail about the accounts would take an order from some official authority. If he succeeds in getting the German police interested, who should they contact? The WMF? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:26, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, he should contact the WMF. Checkuser are not authorized to give out that sort of data, and in any case, we don't have access to logs from 2010. Regardless, the WMF could give a lot more detailed information than we can. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 16:12, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Deleting One's Entire Talk Page

I have a question for you. The user user:Fabzzz deleted their entire talk page comments that had conversations that could be useful for others to know about this user because of the way they act on many articles and article talk pages. I see you wrote them at least once ([2]), which of course is now deleted too. I don't have much experience so I'm not sure if that's okay or not. Can you answer that for me? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. ─ Matthewi ^(Talk) • 12:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I think the only thing you are not allowed to remove is a notification of a block that is still active. Other than that, you can do what you want, although a lot of people are of the opinion that removing non-vandalism content is kind of... rude? (that's not the word I'm looking for, but you get the general idea). J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 13:47, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Your revert

Your revert on the village pump was unwarranted IMO. I'm an well aware you disagree with me. If you think I should have made my announcement to the community somewhere else, pray tell. If you don't like parts of it, then what? All discussions must be neutral? Who decides? You? Its obviously not like I'm going to willingly hit 3RR territory in this situation, and its obvious it will. I'm not even going to test it, because I know ArbCom is out for blood at this point. But please keep in mind all this sets an example. Int21h (talk) 04:56, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/J.delanoy. What the hell are you talking about? I haven't edited the village pump in God knows how long. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 04:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Ah crap. My bad. Mistakes everywhere. That was for another editor. Int21h (talk) 05:09, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Percy and Susan

I think maybe we've both been confused. Rathmome's edit today matched the pattern of Percy's edits (scatological vandalism to a scientology page). My guess is that what Percy does, besides attacks on scientology, is that he finds instances of vandalism or questionable editing that have been reverted (as with the Susan Burke article) and then goes back and re-inserts them. That seems to have happened with some of the other socks' edits as well. What do you think? NawlinWiki (talk) 04:20, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

The IP ranges are definitely not the same. All of Rathmome's IPs geolocate far from Percy's. It is not impossible that they are the same person, but I don't think it is very likely. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 04:23, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Amiram Goldblum

There are growing concerns that Amiram Goldblum is himself editing the article about him. He has two accounts: User:Rastiniak and User:רסטיניאק. Take a look at the this sockpuppet investigation. Also, read the following discussion. רסטיניאק has removed the POV tag from the article twice so far: 1 and 2. While I don't find this subject particularly interesting, I'm alarmed by the fact that Goldblum is fighting tooth and nail to get users who question the neutrality of his article to get blocked. I request you to help us determine whether the two accounts indeed belong to Goldblum. Nataev (talk) 11:31, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Please note that Nataev (talk · contribs) is posting this item on the talk pages of > a dozen admins. It might be instructive to investigate more deeply via his contribs as to why he is doing this -- I suggest that it has to do with his right-wing (Israeli) sympathies and his desire to smear Goldblum for being a leftist (on which [4]). Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:39, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Here we go again. This is the first time I have asked for help from a user who has access to CheckUser. Now Nomoskedasticity himself is calling me names. I don't know much about left-right politics. I have no interest about subjects related to Israel either. My sole problem is that Amiram Goldblum has written the entire article about himself. If doing so is acceptable on Wikipedia, then I have no problems with it. Nataev (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

My username is jim6178. I was doing some research on childhood cancers, and I noticed that the page for Thomas Hodgkin had been vandalized by someone changing his name throughout the article to Thomas Non-Hodgkin. I created an editor account and fixed it. Then, in response to an email from Wikipedia Host, I decided to play the Wikipedia Challenge game to learn more about editing in case I ever wanted to do so. Part of the game included writing my interests as a contribution on my user page. I can assure you that I did not write anything about any male bodily organ. It seems that your challenge game, and thus perhaps my account, is compromised. That being the case, and as I am not an expert in anything of importance, it is unlikely that I will edit Wikipedia again, as much as I appreciate Wikipedia. If you are an honest Wikipedia citizen, then I suggest that you raise this lack of security as an issue to whatever authorities exist. My last efforts on Wikipedia will be to try to learn how to close my account, and to do so. Thanks for your diligence. Jim6178 (talk) 21:15, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Re: a user who has made promotional edits

Hi there,

I'm here to talk to you about Shannonvaldes, a user who has made a string of seemingly promotional/commercial edits about smart phone apps over the last few months. They have received several warnings (in fact, you gave them one on December 7), but they still seem to be going at it. Well, they might have removed the links, but I still think some of the content is overly promotional in tone. Most of the apps are probably notable enough for a quick mention (at least a couple have been reviewed by cnet), but all the content that this user has added will probably have to be tweaked. Honestly, I have no idea what to do, so I came to you. So... ahem, what should I do?

Also note that this is probably not the only account/IP involved. I seem to remember another account making similar edits about the same company, Ocean House Media. Bobnorwal (talk) 06:04, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Assuming that you are taking about the image on the top of the page, I honestly don't remember for sure. There was a smaller copy of the same image there before, and since it is obviously in the public domain, I think I just did a Google image search for it and uploaded the largest one I could find.

Content being removed for no reason

See use history here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bartlett_High_School_%28Anchorage,_Alaska%29&action=history

Someone using the name John From Idegon keeps removing a large portion of the history of Bartlett High School, having to do with a series of major sex scandals there where teachers abused students. It is fully factual, fully annotated and primarily sourced from court documents and public records. John has taken it upon himself to sanitize the history of the school by repeatedly deleting that portion wholesale. Other Wiki editors have tweaked it and approved it in the past, but he's claiming it's a violation of this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP1E#Subjects_notable_only_for_one_event

In my reading, none of those exceptions apply.

I'm not skilled in Wiki, but you appear to be higher up the food chain than John From Idegon. I'd appreciate you or someone else ruling on this. I attended that school, I know the history (which is actually far more extensive than the newspapers reported) and I'm shocked that some self-appointed guy who never went there has decided to rewrite/erase that history. If you need to contact me off wiki I'm at [email protected].

Thank you for your help.

Page/Title: Margery Ruth Crisp

Hi,

I was browsing through some cryptic crossword Wiki pages and found some links to Margery Ruth Crisp. Upon clicking the links I reached the deletion notification attributed to you:

"20:25, 13 July 2009 J.delanoy (talk | contribs) deleted page Margery Ruth Crisp (Mass removal of pages added by Nobowoboo)"

I'm not 100% sure of the reason for deletion but, seeing that note, my guess is that user Nobowoboo was in some way unreliable. However, that isn't really my query.

Margery Ruth Crisp, nee Edwards, was my auntie, and until today I wasn't even aware that she had a mention on Wikipedia. I know she is referenced elsewhere on the Internet, most specifically in the Guardian obituaries pages, and I really wanted to see what her entry on Wikipedia contained.

She was a first rate cryptic crossword compiler, and I personally feel that a lasting, if somewhat muted, legacy to her on Wikipedia could only be a good thing for the future. I would be keen to see a snapshot of the original page attributed to her and, if it looks like it makes sense (based on my own knowledge of her as a family member) I would like to then ask that it be considered for publishing once more.

As I say, at this point in time I don't even know what it says - but it would be nice to at least read it.

Thanks in advance for the response that I feel sure you will make :)

Saturday Nov 16: Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ Metropolitan Museum of Art

Saturday November 16, 12:30 pm - 4:30pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.
The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

Saturday November 16 Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met (RSVP on-wiki or at meetup.com).

12:30 pm - 4:30 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education

And there will be sandwiches and Wiki-Cake!
