When you blocked 99.49.83.163, you left an "indef blocked" message on their talk page. Might want to clear that up, it could turn scandalous :) A little insignificant talk to me! (please!) 14:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I left it like that intentionally. I know it's a bit misleading, but the user is to be indefinitely blocked until the legal threat is retracted. The only reason we don't block IP's indefinitely is because they do change, and a new user could end up with that IP. If that occured I would notify the new user. On the other hand, if the block expired and the same person continued editing without retracting the threat, the block would be reapplied. talk) 02:20, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Color me confused
I'm trying to figure out how to !vote regarding the Orangesodakid user pages. In the course of trying to figure out what is going on, I saw your post here stating that user was not blocked. Your post has a time of 00:50, 19 September 2009 (UTC). Yet the block log has two blocks, both with (apparently) earlier times, e.g. 23:09, 18 September 2009. The block time doesn't list a time zone - I assumed UTC, is that wrong? If a user is blocked, and told they should respond to ANI, what is supposed to happen? Can blocked users post at ANI?--SPhilbrickT 16:31, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- What you see in the block log is your local time, not UTC. The local time is set in your preferences. In response to your second question, a blocked user should respond on his or her talk page; it will be watched by one or more administrators. Thanks. talk) 18:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Bias
Please stop editing my posts. I only care about the accuracy of the article and pursue every effort to follow Wikipedia guidelines; so I don't understand why you've removed it twice.

I know you closed this in good faith, but no one was able to come up with anything substantial at the end of this debate to demonstrate notability. I will probably be taking this to deletion review for a higher level discussion and wanted to give you a heads up, it is nothing personal at all. JBsupreme (talk) 14:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Blocking
Please stop blocking people without giving fair warning first. You have no reason to believe that they weren't trying to make a good faith edit and accidently made a mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.120.211.137 (talk) 16:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Please salt Eric Zaccar
Hello, Saltine … Less that 24 hours after
Happy Editing! — 138.88.125.101 (talk · contribs) 00:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- I considered salting it, but I hope that won't be necessary. If it gets created again I (or someone else) will. Thanks! talk) 00:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Please tell me what "Salt" means. I re-created the Eric Zaccar article, using more in-depth information and many more checkable references from major newspapers for one reason and one reason alone: I don't want people who google Eric to get a page that says that Eric's article has been deleted, and a link to the long diatribes that bad mouthed him. Again, a lot of money, time and energy has been invested in Eric's new screenplay and upcoming film, it's a very important story that could be a very important movie, and the last thing we need is a potential investor, director or star googling him and seeing the negative press that you've recently given him. Better to see nothing at all.
From the impression we "sock puppets" got, you didn't really want to delete Eric's article, you wanted to bring it up to your "standard." That's what I tried to do. It was flagged before anyone could have possibly had a chance to read it. Thank you.
Unless, of course, everything the editors were saying was crap, and you'd planned to delete Eric's article, all along, no matter how much contrary information we offered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robroams (talk • contribs) 05:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
PS: I tried to ask permission before I posted a new, more in depth article about Eric Zaccar, but even though you seem to indicate that messages can be sent to your editors through this site, trying to figure out how to do it is impossible. Everything said seemed to indicate to me that I could add a new article if I improved it.
Can I, Rob Stedelin, have my own article, if I'm the person who contacts my friends at several major New York news stations and has them do in-depth investigations on the self proclaimed editors of wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robroams (talk • contribs) 05:34, 27 October 2009
- For the nth time, Robroams, CLICK THE LINK!!! … in this case, that would be sign your posts (or how to click the blue text to see what things mean), then maybe those people should not be investing in any enterprise with which you are connected. <Sigh!> — 138.88.125.101 (talk) 07:53, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Eric Zaccar & his Sock & Meat Puppets
This is in direct response to your editors who have called us "sock" or "meat" puppets, because we never edited anything, or gave our input on anything except one single article about Eric Zaccar.
Sophia Z's involved in a major project with Eric Zaccar. So am I. We're working with Eric Zaccar. Some of the other "sock puppets" are probably also people who are familiar with the work of Eric Zaccar and know that he's a rather talented and diverse writer who has thousands of fans and supporters in the New York area. So we all signed on to defend someone that we know, who we care about and whose work we are familiar with. That's the way it's supposed to be. I can't imagine why any of us, or anyone else, would want to do edits on people and articles that we didn't know anything about and that weren't involved in our personal affairs. We didn't sign on to promote Eric or to use your site (is it in fact YOUR site?) for publicity or public relations. We signed on to stop your site from bad mouthing him.
Again, in Brooklyn and Manhattan, where a lot of us come from, we grew up learning to mind our own business and not to bother anyone that doesn't bother us. Because ten people made comments on one subject and one subject alone means that this is the one subject that we have personal information about, that effects our lives and that we care about.
Our production company put together the financing for Eric to be able to spend months interviewing people, visiting prisons, reading court papers and records and traveling thousands of miles to research his screenplay, even though, as the many newspaper articles about his jury service will confirm, he probably already knew more about the subject than almost anyone. You know why? Because some people write what they actually know about. Some of your "editors" might want to consider taking a page from Eric (oh yeah, I forgot, you deleted that page because you were experts on Eric Zaccar and his work).
And of course I was kidding when I said I wanted my own article. I haven't done much yet to merit one. After this film, hopefully you'll come and solicit us. And yes, that's (kind of) a joke too. robroams
- I understand that you have a vested interest in this person's career. Unfortunately, we had to debate whether he met the notability criteria. This often brings up judgments such as "minor" or "not significant." Our deletion discussion pages are tagged "noindex" to keep them from being indexed by search engines. I wish you luck with your project. Hopefully someday he will be notable enough to have an article. talk) 05:50, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
User:Robroams
Hello again, Saltine … I've given up repeating myself, so would you please explain to
- I would, but I don't know if it's really worth arguing over. talk) 00:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Done … looks like he finally figured it out! :-) — 138.88.125.101 (talk) 04:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
If I understood these things, I would do them. NOBODY in my camp is deliberately trying to break your rules. We're trying our best to conform, and have been all along, but everything we do seems to agitate you more. My username is associated with my writings. What difference does it make how I phrase it?
(Robroams)
- I'm sorry for being insensitive. The main reason is that the "~~~~" signature includes a link to both your user and talk pages, and a timestamp of when the comment was made. This makes it easier to keep track of discussions. Thanks. talk) 05:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
For the record, nobody ever tried to deny that any of the user names that you called sock or meat puppets, were in fact asked by people on our team to come here and defend Eric. However, they're all legitimate people who know his work and were happy to do it.
If we really wanted to put the word out, we could have had a hundred defenders, but then, they all would have been people that just signed up for this purpose, and they all would have been accused of being puppets.
If you check at least one of Eric's Youtube videos, it's gotten over twenty six thousand UNSOLICITED hits. He does have a support base, however small and insignificant you might think it is. And he does have the distinction of being a writer who really gets involved in what he's doing, whether it's taking a job at the housing department to research his play or spending a year interviewing everyone around his jury case, visiting prisons and reading every court record and every article. If he could have interned for Bill Clinton when he was writing his play about Starr and Monica, I have no doubt that he would have (though he might not have provided the expected services). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robroams (talk • contribs) 03:30, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you!
Hello and thank you for blocking the vandal that's been having a go at Sid Haig's page under various IPs. It was getting very tiresome reverting and reporting the same thing almost daily and it's good to see an Admin taking this thing seriously (not that the others weren't but it's nice to see some initiative).

You're right; I was a bit distracted while I did the block. Thanks for letting me know! I've fixed the problem. --

Melbourne Library Service
Hi There,
I started an entry for Melbourne Library Service and I didn't realise I had to have an individual name etc. My entry was deleted by you as it was perceived to be unambiguous advertising and promotion but there are other libraries on WP such as Casey Carinia Libraries and Yarra Plenty Regional Library etc. I think people would like to have us on WP if they are looking for us to find information about our library and to get to our catalogue etc. I have applied for a name change which indicates that I as an individual will be editing and I want to re do our entry. I hope that will be ok? I am new to this and learning :o)
Cheers, Tony - Training and Website Librarian Melbourne Library Service

Error in username blacklist
Hi! Your edit here added a comma into a flag parameter, which causes the message about names from the Middle East sometimes containing "nazi" no longer to show up in username reports. Would you mind slightly rewording the message so that it no longer contains a comma? Draftydoor (talk) 14:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
