Is it alright if I remove the {{Indefblockeduser}} tag? I noticed that the directions at Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages state that user pages of identified sockpuppets are not to be deleted or placed into that category. Also, the {{SockpuppetCheckuser}} tag makes the {{Indefblockeduser}} tag redundant. Jesse Viviano 15:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I unblocked Meisterchef after he wrote me a nice email about the issue.

I think he probably is not a sockpuppet or meatpuppet of the banned user, but just someone who has been watching this controversy and taking the same (wrong, IMHO) side of the debate. I have chatted with him a bit about WP:NOR policies and I think he will be a good user. Still, I respect your block, and I am of course not placing Meisterchef under any special protection. :)--Jimbo Wales 06:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Duly noted.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The reason for translating is due to the name formula. Through translated the name formula is the same, Sharkarmarguerito (Shaakurumargaretto) for example...

• Shark: Shaaku
• Car: Kuruma
• Marguerite: Margarette

Same principle for Fatshonedile (Yatsudenwani).

• Fats/Fatsia: Yatsu
• Phon/Phone: Denwa
• dile/Crocodile: Wani

Fractyl (Fractyl)

For Yatsudenwani, it's kana, not kanji. As such, this should only be transliterated, not translated. If something's like Shākurumauerite, then it can be transliterated to be Sharkargerite or whatever it is.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

What?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I contend that his account is not a vandal only account, and that given the amount of discussion for "Steak and a Blowjob Day," including controversy (and thus, implying enough support that it) about it warranting its own article, his attempts to list it under the day page for March 14 were not vandalism. Further to the point, I've opened the page for deletion review. I would ask that you remove your indefinite block of his account. Autocracy 04:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The most common response to

I must say I agree here. This block looks unjustified. The guy is maybe misguided, yes, picking controversies to "test the waters", yes, hasn't yet grasped the deletion criteria very well, yes; but what is really missing for making it WP:POINT is the element of bad faith. POINT is when you do something which you know shouldn't be done, just to make other people feel what it's like having this thing done to you. If he really thought Wikipedia would be better off by applying the same standard to the one article as to the other, then that's not POINT.

Besides, there was no prior warning before the block, and no clear need of prevention (the situation could easily be remedied by simply closing the AfD, as you did). Unless there was evidence that he had an intention to continue making more and truly bad-faith nominations or the like, the block looks punitive.

I'm considering lifting this block. Feedback welcome. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I was unaware of the other essay, and I was reacting with the mindset that, "He just put something up for DRV by proxy for a constructed holiday, and then he made an AFD using the same basis of those endorsing deletion." But I do not see the difference between picking controversies and making a point. It's too much of a grey area.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, don't forget that WP:POINT is not about "making" points. It's about disrupting Wikipedia, to illustrate a point. Making a single AfD, which could be considered arguably borderline justified, is not "disrupting Wikipedia". Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Was this in my massive range blocking yesterday? I was going off a Bulbapedia IP block list to get some proxy ranges, and this one may have been caught in the crossfire.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 19:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ryulong. While I'm not an administrator, the number of IPs that you blocked as open proxies: [7] seems to be way overboard.

I think Geki, Rinki, & the Gekiranger Gekiwaza should be as they are in japanese with the same translation explainations as Gekitohja.—Fractyl (Fractyl)

But it's Kanji that we know the English meaning of. "GekiTohja" is written in katakana and has meaning from kanji. There is no reason to leave kanji as romaji when there is a translation that we know of. Things like "激獣拳" have known translations. Whereas something like "ゲキワザ" is left as it is. If it was written as "激気技" then it'd be translated.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I get that it should translated, but like in "name/puns", like we did with the likes of Daizyujin, which was written in kanji, & many of the mecha seen in shows like Abarenger. the energy the Gekirangers draw from, Geki, is really a double pun as it is translated as "Fierce Spirit", but it also pun on 'Fierce' alone, "Geki". And Ki is the japanese term for "Chi", the energy harnessed in martial arts. And for "Rinki" to match up with Geki. —Fractyl (Fractyl)

Well, I made it so "Geki" is "Fierce Spirit." There are times when it's good to translate and those when it's not. And why is it that your posts aren't time stamped?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I guess, but I still prefer using terms like Gekijuuken. As for the time stamp, no idea.—Fractyl (Fractyl)

Hello. Now that I see that he was I guess impersonating a living person, I see the reason for your swift action and it no longer seems absurd. But I'm not a sockpuppet of his, I just thought he was a confused newbie whom I tried to help along. --

The issue was brought up on WP:ANI and it was a compound factoring. No edits to the article space in 3 months. Several hundred edits to his user page instead. And apparantly he was impersonating a professor at UC Davis. He's not here to contribute to the project (at least not anymore) and if he's actually that professor, he's violating some policy by pretending to be a child.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, never mind, I found it. Unfortunately, your deletion of his user page has also deleted the links to the evidence raised in the AN/I discussion. If the page is to be protected as a blocked user page, I'm not sure I see why the history should stay deleted (particularly where it is linked to as evidence in a discussion). Cheers again! bd2412 T 06:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and I sincerely have no interest in bothering you. I don't think that the information provided by

The professor stuff was not what led to the block. I have a firm belief that if you are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia in any way shape or form, then you should not have a user space. The fact that Stevenstone93 made absolutely no contributions to the article space in a span of 3 months yet made several hundred edits to his user page since then was my reason for the deletion and the block.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I am unaware of any policy that permits a block based on a user's failure to edit outside of user space, an certainly not a permanent block. If you wish to propose such a criteria, start a discussion at

WP:BLOCK (which I request you read very thoroughly now) or at the Village Pump, but please do not presume to create such a policy. Either we have rules and we stick to them, or we have anarchy and the encyclopedia devolves into it. bd2412 T

03:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Users who are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia are not given the privelege of having a user page. See

WP:NOT#WEBSPACE. That is why I deleted his user page. The fact that he was also racist, homophobic, and had other polemical statements on his userpage led me to block him, as well as the suspicions that he was impersonating another individual.—Ryūlóng (竜龍

) 04:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, but I would still impose only a temporary block. If he comes back and makes trouble afterwards, then a longer block would be justified, but I simply don't see how this user has earned a permanent block. In the year and change that I've been an admin, I've seen a number of young contributors come around after a bumpy start. Of course, I've seen some earn a permanent block as well, but this one is too early to tell. bd2412 T 05:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Why you're so aggressive I don't know — but there is no "actual name" as regards capitalisation. All publications follow a manual of style.

A block is a temporary restriction on editting due to disruption imposed by administrators. A ban is a restriction on editting put forward by the community, the

Jimmy. Users who are blocked may return by requesting an unblock. Banned users are not allowed to return unless they appeal their ban to the Arbitration Committee. If a blocked person edits with another account, it is usually dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If a banned user edits with another account, they are reverted immediately (upon discovery) and their ban reset.—Ryūlóng (竜龍

Range Block?

Hello Ryulong. Recently there has been a persistent sockpuppeteer about known as User:Turok 1. Some of the edit histories of the pages his socks had edited had some IPs appearing in them that were most likely his. I blocked around three of the IPs if you look at my block log. This guy seems like he is utilizing a dynamic IP and that a range block may be of some use. I'm completely clueless in regards to range blocking and I hope you don't mind me asking for your assistance. Thanks.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Geki Wazas

Just got your message, but you should consider keep GekiWazas mostly untranslated around the "word-word" area. It seems to go in hand with Jan's manner of speaking. See this at WikiProject Tokusatsu. Fractyl (Fractyl)

But we know that Hō is Cannon :/—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

True, but it's "Hō-Hō" and the attack really has nothing do with a "cannon", just a standard "aura projection" attack. Ten-Ten Dan (Intent on finding a batter english term for "Dan") sorta counts as GekiJaguar does spin in this move. As for "Kyaku", it seemed more of romanized "kick". As for Gekitohja's Big Gan-Gan Fist, it's not really a "punch attack" from my perspective. Fractyl (Fractyl)

---

To add, can't we translate the Gekiwazas like this? As all attacks have a "Word-Word" theme in the show, I though to bring it up. I have some good examples for this.

• 1. Double-Double Clone Fist (ゲキワザ 倍倍分身拳, Bai Bai Bunshin Ken)
  2. Gun-Gun Bullet (砲砲弾, Hō Hō Dan)
  3. Spin-Spin Bullet (転転弾, Ten Ten Dan)
  4. Dance-Dance Strike (舞舞打, Mai Mai Da)
  5. Strike-Strike Bullet (打打弾, Da Da Dan)
  6. Dance-Dance Dash (舞舞走, Mai Mai Sō)
  7. Bloom-Bloom Bullet (花花弾, Hana Hana Dan)
  8. Geki-Geki Cannon (激激砲, Geki Geki Hō)

Fractyl (Fractyl)

When there are two of them, it reminds me too much of One Piece. I think that it's best to use the gerund form if it exists.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I can agree with you there in the comparison, but the use of Gerund seems to ruin the "intended punning" none the less. (Fractyl)

Removing {{specify}} tags from WP:BANNED

In the course of a systematic cleanup of

WP:BANNED#Banned by the Wikipedia community

, I have been going through the various noticeboard archives and adding links of the ban discussions to the banned-user entries so that readers can get more details. Many entries had these links already, so this was merely a matter of bringing the remaining entries to the same standard of citation. To make sure none get overlooked, {{specify}} tags mark where links are still needed, so they're not lost in the mass of text to be edited: as the links go in, the tags come out; and when "Find {{specify}}" comes up empty, that task will be done.

The {{specify}} tag was appropriate, because -- unlike all the other {{fact}}-type tags -- {{specify}} asserts the claim is "likely true" but "needs citations to make it complete".

Today "Find {{specify}}" came up empty; great news, someone's filled in all the links! Errr, no, someone's merely deleted all the {{specify}} tags, which is like helpfully removing all those messy bookmarks from a book. It has just made the cleanup job a little harder.

And now, if I go through the effort of recreating all those tags to make sure the job is done right, I'd be engaging in a revert war.

I don't want to play Revert War, or Edit War, or any other such game. I want to finish cleaning up the page so that all the "banned" and "sock puppet" and other major factual claims about banned users are linked to the supporting documents. Since these users are living people, and these claims are inherently somewhat derogatory, the principle behind

WP:BLP

has some bearing even though this isn't a mainspace page: the claims should be sourced. The need to do that is genuine and not merely a personal aesthetic preference on my part. Was there a genuine need to remove those {{specify}} tags, other than a personal aesthetic preference? If so, please let me know. If not, please either undo your removal and let the cleanup continue, or fill in all the missing links yourself so the tags aren't needed.

Thank you. -- Ben ^TALK/_HIST 19:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I've went and undid it, as well as find a Bobabobabo sock to clean up after.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you tremendously. As for the Bido x 3 sock, Newyorkbrad has blocked it, I've added it to User:Interrobamf/Bobabobabo, but no-one had put a sock template/category on the userpage. Not knowing whether this user is simply handled differently -- Interrobamf's list page replacing the categories -- I didn't add anything to the userpage either. -- Ben ^TALK/_HIST 21:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. You removed the {{specify}} tag from

WP:BANNED#SummerThunder (regarding his having been banned from Chinese Wikipedia) with the comment "we're not linking to his page on the Chinese Wikipedia". That's nice, but what would be even nicer is to link to wherever in English Wikipedia the claim was first asserted, and preferably documented. Again, it's an inherently somewhat derogatory claim about a living person, so it should be sourced if at all possible. If we can't do that, we shouldn't make the claim ourselves. -- Ben ^TALK/_HIST

17:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I am completely unsure as to where we would be able to find the link from the Chinese Wikipedia, and the red link isn't necessary in the lead. I am currently unsure as to where SummerThunder was banned at the English Wikipedia. I would ask Khoikhoi. And this is getting into

WP:OWN areas, right now, with your constant comments about my removals.—Ryūlóng
