Unblocking Stuff

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):
Raul unblocked him an hour ago. Procedurally closing the unblock request
checkuser and is very likely to have evidence that you and Tile join edited from the same or similar IPs. I have asked him to come and check over it but I will not unblock you myself. Stifle (talk) 10:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

Yes, quite possibly the same IP. I work from my local library, right now, being 'between' personal kit and, of course, the facilities are public. Best I can say is look at the (few) contributions I (Lomcevak) have made. Again, thanks.
Ok, Raul should be able to verify that and will probably unblock you when he responds. Mangojuicetalk 15:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lomcevak has edited from only one IP, and it's *riddled* with Tilejoin socks (I caught a half-dozen more while I was looking into this unblock request). Moreover, there is no way to distinguish this user from Tilejoin based on the technical evidence - he looks, in every technical way, like a Tilejoin sock. The IP evidence does suggest that it's a public computer though. I will hesitantly unblock, on the assumption that he is being honest in what he says.

{{unblock|I (Lomcevak) am not a "sock-puppet" of "Tile join" but a legitimate and constructive Wikipedian. Raul654, you've done this once before. See above.}}
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Second request on this unblock. As before, I (Lomcevak) am not a "sock-puppet" of "Tile join" but a legitimate and constructive (I hope) Wikipedian.
checkuser (like Raul 654) to 'sort wheat from chaff ?' Thanks for early cooperation with unblocking. I have items I wish to contribute. (Oh, yes, see my contributions list (again): see it's fairly selectively channelled and all legit.) PS. I have logged-in and no Raul 654 I don't seem to be caught in just an anon-only range-block. Thanks TigerShark
for trying to move this on.
Decline reason:
You haven't been blocked directly, rather you are caught in an autoblock, or IP block. Can you follow the instructions on the block page and post a specific IP unblock request — Stephen 10:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
unblock|Again ! Yes, and with respect Stephen ... sigh ... I understand I'm caught in an autoblock and Raul 654 asserts he knows this and that simply by logging-in the anon-range should be overcome. Read above ! Clearly this is not the case so somebody has a technical misunderstanding. Again, as I said above, I'm working from public resources so how can I associate myself with a specific IP. The public council facilities that I work from/ can work from have hundreds of IPs ! I'm very wary of all this because clearly Raul 654 and 'sock blocking' of users have some very recent history history from what I can see.
Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):
I've made you exempt from the IP block for now

Why do you keep reverting my edits of the Natascha Engel page? I merely corrected iffy information. The page you revert to contains citations which are against Wikipedia rules (they advertise commercial institutions and do not link to anything which contain's Natascha's name or achievements).
I'm only trying to help make the page better, not worse. Please desist reverting other people's edits back to your own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fetler (talk • contribs) 10:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Natascha Engel
Regarding coming from an anonymous IP at the University of Central Lancashire, it's a pretty big place. There's in the order of 25,000+ students and 3,000+ members of staff, and Wikipedia edits are very common from them, myself included (I was the anonymous you are referring to, I didn't think to log in when I made the original edit).
It is against Wikipedia rules to link to any commercial institution when citing a source if it does not contain information about the person in question. By all means mention her husband owns a business but AFAIK it is not within the rules of name the business or link to it unless it directly contains information about Natascha. That's advertising.
The same goes for linking to the KCL departments. If the departmental pages actually contain information about Natascha then that is permissible, but as they do not then it is not permissible.
Please don't disregard someone's edit because you don't agree with it. All I'm doing it attempting to get the page to adhere to the rules. You do not personally own the page, and anyone is open to edit it as they see fit. Please bear that in mind in the future.

Welcome to the project, I see your interested in politics (Natasha Engle mainly) and note you added her page to the category Politics of Derbyshire. I've not seen (there may be one) a category for all the Derbyshire MPs (and past ones) which should be a sub category to the category:Politics of Derbyshire page.
It would be great help to the project if you could add other Derbyshire MPs (current and past) as well as to the category or sub cat. And add the project banner {{WikiProject Derbyshire|class=|importance=|ibox=|photo=}} by copy & pasting on to the talk page below existing banners (but above the the discusions), we can then assess the pages and assign an importance (To Derbyshire project) rating. The project is trying to systematically find all Derbyshire related articles, and ultimately improve them. We have done the Constituency ones. Any Help would be appreciated in collecting up these missing articles. The project tagging also helps in knowing about articles that can be wiki linked to from others. Any queriers leave a message on my talk page or the Derbyshire project one. Thanks, hope you can assist - BulldozerD11 (talk) 11:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Just adding a few items each session to missing categories, and wiki-linking them in other articles (were relevant) all helps to spread the web of wiki links out from . I started when looking at articles think why isent that part of this project or that and am now systematically adding articles to a string of projects. I'll look the articles over when go through the assessment lists. - Thanks BulldozerD11 (talk) 11:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks,
Derby North MP, according to 2nd paragraph of his bio. Till I find out how other areas are Categorising them (to standardise Cats) I just added him to the general Politics in Derbyshire cat but really needs a Former MP category and a MPs of Derbyshire (for current ones) as sub categories of Politics Category. But there's a general attempt to not create to many categories randomly but in a structured format, so when the main category starts to fill up we can just move them to a suitable sub cat. (it makes searching easier for users) - BulldozerD11 (talk) 11:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

hmm BD = Bulldozer = El Dozer. Derby MPs are getting to look very much improved. Victuallers (talk) 18:07, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good effort splitting them into sub cats as well, ever bit helps tidy things up and make navigation easier.
Hand Hints: I wouldent bother adding {{tl:talk}} to a page unless the page has non-constructive discussions, or editors not signing comments and following guide lines etc. TOC's genearly create themselves when theres 3 section headings (i often force creation on article pages were the main text is one big block above the see also,refs & ex links sections, by placing a heading after the lead paragraph
WP:MOS gives more details on layout, but i just follow general format for basic articles. (same on talks with old discussions prior to project banner tagging, just add a heading to tidy up). Infoboxes should generally have all the parameters as its hard to update them if missing all missing as you have to generally go and get the lot as trying to remember the correct parameters for seldom used ones is a pain) as if missing when more info available its unlikely to get added (a few odd parameters that will never be used can be deleted but most should stay IMO ) Thanks - BulldozerD11 (talk) 16:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

Fetler/Levret/Lancashire University/Samuel Ellis and Natascha Engel
Hello Lomcevak. I'm writing to let you know that User:Fetler is currently under investigation for sockpuppetry and you may have further evidence to add to the page, judging from your previous interactions with the user. Thanks, PretzelsTalk! 03:44, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have reverted edits that have appear to, principally, have come from a pair of anonymous IP's, one, specifically at the University of Central Lancashire.
Such edits reduce enclopaedic information, such as the full name of Engel's husband from David (Newton) Salisbury-Jones to 'David' (in the text of the entry). Is that supposed to convey some idea of 'intimacy' between Wikipedia and Engel/Salisbury-Jones.
Which commercial institutions referred to, do you have a problem with (?) ... perhaps it's Vale Vet's that refers to David (Newton) Salisbury-Jones' wife as the (MP) Natascha ... as Engel refers to her husband in her (official) website as Dave 'the (mere) vet ?'
Please list your disagreements and then we can discuss the ins and outs.
May I suggest, kindly, that before you make (possibly controversial) changes you add (at least cotemporarily, at least) to the discussion (you may see that this page has been full of controversy, if you take the time to read) page of the article. See the notes on modifications made to the main entry on residential information, for example.
Oh, and please sign your contributions to other's talk pages ... I think that is the usual Wikipedia convention ... like I have done on your talk page, to this.
P.S. Oh, yes, I meant to add that if your non-anonymous contributions got caught-up in reverting the anonymous ones, then my apologies ... please try again from the (non-anonymous) base ... with the provisos above in mind. Give reasoning for the changes you want to make - with evidence and examples. Expect reasoning and debate in return.
I think the 'commecial institution' that you must be referring to is Vale Vets. I have to hypothesise because you don't make it clear and so prevent people from responding, specifically, to whatever you're objecting about. However, if you examine the site carefully you'll find that Engel is named albeit tangentially (... Natascha, who is a member of parliament.)[Emphasis added.]
If you wish to remove KCL specific information, then feel free ... just provide your reasoning. I came on to this with Kings links already established and I think all I did was harmonise what I found to be 'in main text' external links (xlinks) to footnotes (see the secondarticle History ref. dated 11 September 2008).
Your principal edit appeared to engage in whole sale surgery, in the process of which you removed completely encyclopaedic, and possibly very important (to one of her constituents), information about her residential arrangements, among other things, which I pointed out to you had been the result of much careful research, documented in the discussion pages.
Along the way you managed to introduce a completely unsourced reference, for example, to her policy on the 'smacking of children.' Now if you look, once again carefully, in the Publications section, you'll see I've added, on a stooge through the daily Google, a publicly available reference to her purported policy. If you want to add Hansard, then fill your boots. But at least get the reference.
Whole sale surgery is not a very good idea. If you want to change things, especially to an established article, do it bit-by-bit and along the way explain why you're making the change.
You 'exhort me' with:
Please don't disregard someone's edit because you don't agree with it. All I'm doing it attempting to get the page to adhere to the rules. You do not personally own the page, and anyone is open to edit it as they see fit. Please bear that in mind in the future.
A very good 'exhortation' which I will always be sure to 'bear in mind' as I'm sure you will too !
And good ways to avoid future confusion is not to use anonymous IPLs and, again, sign you 'contributions' to the talk pages of other editors.
