You gonna be on for a while? Can you help me out with sock fighting. I have Xtreme Pro Wrestling, Tommy Dreamer, Janet Romano, Rob Zicari, Sting (wrestler), and Jeff Jarrett watch listed. he opos up about every 15 mins. He has sleepers that bypass semi protection. I dont see full protection as the best solution as of now. If you could just help me keep an eye it would be appreciated. Any other admin out there, feel free to watch too!

Hey Alison/Archive 11. See your an admin and all, I was wondering if you could help me. About 5 months ago (January acutally) I created an article named Swiss-Canadian War. It was deleted at this afd: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swiss-canadian war. I heard that all deleted articles are stored somewhere, and I was wondering if you could copy and paste the article into my subpage at: user:pahomeboy1992/swiss-canadian war. Thank you! --Pahomeboy1992 02:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alison, I've run across a user page of a younger editor (12 according to their talk page), with a great deal of personal information in it. I seem to recall a policy about removing that type of information for underage editors, but I can't seem to find it. Am I just hallucinating, or does such a policy exist? User in question is Pevey haventz. Thanks. --Celain 02:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Another Irish related issue! I'm looking for some advise on the addition of linkspam to Rory Gallagher. It looks like the same anon IP user is deleting and adding the same linkspam from different IP addresses (mainly 84.58.xxx.xxx) that seem to be in the same IP block. While I keep reverting the additions I wonder if it is possible to do an IP block so I can relax a bit on this one? Another anon IP user in the 142.163.xxx.xxx block also has been adding similar linkspam but seems to have stopped for the moment though he complained that I have no right to place warnings on his talk page! Any advise appreciated. Cheers ww2censor 13:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I've removed that image which is disputed by anon for now (until i get a better source) and made subtle changes to the tone that should convey the meaning without compromising on facts on the Kargil War section of Special Service Group article. Idleguy 16:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if I may ask you to reconsider the 2 week protection that you have placed on Disappearance of Madeleine McCann? While this article is regularly vandalised it is well watched and the vandalism is reverted promptly. We have also had some good anon edits. This is the type of high profile article that attracts new users. Past short protection has tended to calm things down. I was thinking that 5 days was a better period. TerriersFan 17:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Nah, it's okay. :-) Protection conflicts often occur when two admins review requests that seem to be on the borderline of protection need. If in your opinion protection was needed for this one, then it's fair enough to protect. Keep up the good work. Best regards, Húsönd 17:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Alison I was unblocked for good behavior and wanted to tell you I am sorry for what happened in the past.
Quoting Benjamin Franklin "Insanity is doing the same thing, and expecting different results". I had everyone telling me the same repetitve phrases over and over again, asking them what they meant, and not understanding because they said the same thing and expected me to understand, it is not like I am asking to hear it again because this is on a screen, I could read it again without having to ask.
Like you told me to assume good faith, and I took that as a passive verb (subject is object of verb) that you were telling me to assume good faith on my behalf, and I asked what you meant and you pretty much just repeated yourself. Obviously not saying you are insane, but it was an insane way of trying to communicate with me. I am also autistic which makes communication even harder. -PatPeter 19:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for what you did to my userpage. oh and I need some help. My signature is kinda bad and I want to make it multicolored and having the 777 part in my user name link to my talk page.
I made these signatures, but none of them can be used as my sig.

Thanks for unblocking me. I'll be sure to return the favor some time. Now I have a challenge from User:GreaterWikiholic to make 400 mainspace edits in a month. Thanks again, AlexHillan 03:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
To give you some info on what happened, there was a Wikipedia page for the Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivan. I decided to give the Monterey its own page, and deleted its info off the Freestars page. Sable than threatened me by saying if I deleted the info againn that I would have my account blocked from editing. I than asked her not to threaten me and than you sent me a message asking me to "tone down". Me and you than got into an argument and the last comment you posted about me said "Right now, your chances of this succeeding are zero. Please leave this editor alone already. They were quite justified in posting the original [[tl|delete3)) template on your talkpage - I checked. Please try to work with other editors here, and assume a certain WP:AGF on their part rather than going after them as you are right now - Alison ☺ ".
I than sent you a message saying "First off, I was not in the wrong. In no way was I or anyone else notified that there shouldnt be another page for the Monterey. There wasnt any bulletin, message, or post letting anyone know this information. Second, if you consider my comments rude and uncivil than I certainly would consider Sable's to be as well. Third, I was not reported on Wikipedia:Administrators' as I just went there and didnt see any report or complaint against me." to which you answered " I'd like a little context for this, so I'll know what you're referring to. I've no idea as to what you're talking about - Alison ☺ 22:38, 31 May 2007"
I will now explain myself again. I was not in the wrong, as you said I was. There weren't any messages, notices, or letters saying that the Monterey info was not to be removed from the Freestar's page. Had there been notification of that than yes, I would have been in the wrong. Next, you said that my comments were rude and uncivil. As far as Im concerned, if you actually consider my comments to be rude and uncivil, than I certainly would consider Sable's to be as well. She threatened me for absolutely no reason. She could have said 'Please dont remove the Monterey's info from the Freestar page as we would like the info on both van's to be on the same page.' Instead she threatened me by saying if I removed the information again that my account would be blocked from editing. Next, you said that I was reported to Wikipedia:Administrators. That was untrue as I went there and searched for my complaint and there was none. I hope this explanation helps you understand the situation as I wasnt in the wrong. Sable was and I will defend myself against these outrageous complaints from you and Sable. You both are ganging up on me and its not called for.
Thanks, Allie ... I was going to bounce this off you first, but figured you were on Wikibreak and wouldn't respond. Gonna need your help as well as some of the others he burned to put it together.Blueboy96 04:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to congratulate you on your WP:AIV work, specifically on New Rochelle High School. My hasty reversion completely missed how damaged the page was, but you took the time to find a good copy, semi-protect the page and ban the vandals primarily responsible. Nicely done!

Hi Alison,
User Gerash77 inserted stupid statment here saying that the Gulf is also called "The American Gulf" in Arabic. I reverted his nonsense difined as Silly Vandalism and warned him in his Talk Page not to do so as he is established user in WP and supposed to know this before inserting jokes in articles.
So, I would like to to take an action in:
Kind regards, Ralhazzaa 13:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Well... if u seriously consider inserting silly words in the lead in such a disputed article as "also called in Arabic as the American Gulf" for describing the Arabian/Persian Gulf as nothing serious or not a silly vandalisim, then we have a problem either with u here! What will be your reaction if someone wrote in the intro of the UK article: "also known as the tail of USA" or "Khomaini is also called as the Great Antichrist in Farsi" or such silly & stupid word about Ireland? U may know that the article is higly disputed and that fellow had contributed in it before, so he know what is the meaning of such a silly addition. Was my warning illegal? I have learned this from reading the rules, and apply it on established user of opposing POV who want to dishonor other POV members.
Regarding the so-called 3RR, why not a prestigeous admin had a look when a sockpuppet of a user was deleting the intro and doing simple vandalisim (it was not my words, another neutral editor -could be British- said so). That IP sockpuppet of Pejman.Azadi deleted the intro and all its resourced info more than 5 times, that make me revert it to its previous state, with resources. The last time was that silly vandalisim (see difinition) done by Gerash77.
I protected the article (semi-protection) but that IP user looks already registered with his IP name and could reverting it. Could u please tell me what is the difference between 3RR and protecting against anonymous deletion by IP users?
Please note that my edits never deleted a single word from the article. All what I did was inserting high-level references (as required & encouraged in WP). I don't think citing resources talking about Arabic name of something needs discussion and approval of Iranians or others!! strange, hah? I also inserted historical names of that sea as one Iranian user want to do so in the intro. But it looks he/they want to manipulate the intro and put only one name for the sake of political reasons. Why they want to reomve names have been used for ~100-400 years?
This is my comment, just to clairfy the point, and to discourage you of adopting, protecting and endorsing silly vandalisim by those who want to make WP as place for hateness. Why don't u lead them to the sandbox instead of blessing? Ralhazzaa 13:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alison, sorry for the previous comment. It was due to the 2nd time throwing of tags of unjustified warning by that fellow in my page (just for personal revenge, while he is asking me to assume good faith!). I felt that he did so as he didn't receive the correct directing from u as the admin who protected the page. Anyway, what u called canvassing was also becuase u didn't show any reaction, so I asked other admins to stop him insulting me in my talk page. Thanks anyway. Ralhazzaa 13:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Alison, Despite you told Gerash77 to stop his harrasment and personal attack in my page, but he still posting harassing and trolling comments in my personal talk page [4], even after you told him to stop it [5] throwing away all what have been told about civility and etiquette in Wikipedia. I don't want him to touch my personal talk page in such illegal and harrasing way, and to stop his open & continous personal attack. Ralhazzaa 16:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I hate to point out and you can check the page history if you like but someone from that ip address has vandalised the wymondham college article again for the too many times to mention time. I hope now that you will see why we need this article at least semi protected.Wiki.user 18:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the short-term semi-protection of Talk:Labrador Retriever as I requested, and removing the personal attack.

In case you hadn't noticed, I lack the tools to "unprot the usual suspects".

One Night In Hackney303 22:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alison,
if I get a minute, could you please review the full protection on Fark.com?
From my point of view, the entire edit war pretty much happened in a pop-up on my watchlist and I'll happily admit that I haven't been following the off-wiki discussion at all. But, frankly, it looks to me like we've passed the point of diminishing returns and since there doesn't appear to be much going on in terms of discussion, keeping the page protection in place might do more harm than good.
Considering the history, semi-protection probably isn't a good idea in this case. Hence, I'd propose issuing another stern warning on the talk page, knocking on wood and unprotecting the article. FWIW (I'm a bit busy right now), I'll try to keep an eye on the article and possible 3RR violations, should you decide that unprotecting it is the way to go.
Thanks & cheers. :) Seed 2.0 23:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Don't know if you noticed, but see the section regarding Kingtee on my talk. In the first diff he apparently impersonates you on RFPP. In the second (or third, don't remember), he impersonates my signature, with usertalk links back to my talk page.

I noticed there wasn't this article so when I started to create it I noticed you had deleted a previous one? Any reason why that means I shouldn't recreate it or was it just deleted because it was a really small stub? Can't really tell what the original page says and unless you have the reason saved in a log somewhere, not sure if i should create the article or not. Thanks! Deflagro 19:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Didn't forget your name this time! Could you glance at it and see how it is? I added more to it and also added several references. It's still a stub kinda but I can't find much more without going to the bookstore! I guess you can either reply here, my talk page, or on the article's talk page.

Hi, though I'm in an edit war with this user, can you explain this username block? I may be missing an allusion here. I did a google search, though I wasn't a bit surprised to find this user on other forums, with the title "banned user" (he may have added it in jest though), but also to find out he's been in conflicts before - he clearly has a different opinion than I on matters (even in those forums), but it seems he's editting in good faith.

I purposely stopped reverting in spite of revert warring by Komdori and Lactose on that article. I have also participate in the talk page and am continuing to do so. However Komdori and Lactose have followed my edit and instigated revert wars as retaliation for our disagreements from a different article. They have partnered up and have been engaging in gamesmanship in the talk page instead of discussing the substantive topic of the article such as setting up a straw poll, claiming they have majority, etc.. There was a discussion going on but they've stopped responding and participating in the talk page and have started to revert again. Can you let me know how you became involved in this?

The memory is not so bad because I remembered you are a member of the Irish Maritime WikiProject, so you might have some non-admin interest in this topic. After I disagreed with Frelke's merge tags on Lightvessels in Ireland and Lighthouses in Ireland there has been no response, by him or anyone else, for two months, so I removed the tags and added info on the lightvessels as mentioned in my oppose justification. However, what else do you think we can add to improve the article without violating copyright of the CII from this webpage? I also need to get some info on the last lightvessel that I believe was located at "South Rock" but was supposed to be withdrawn this year. Any pointers?

The editor in question is The Evil SpartanOver the last few weeks I have been spending a lot of time in good faith cleaning up the article Christianity_by_country
The The Evil Spartan was trying to include figures in the totals for the table that were not the summation of the table. I asked him if he could not do this but he continued to revert. I have taken him/her under good faith up until now. Tonight I spent a good few hours checking all the maths for the table and even found proper sources for most of the figures listed. I updated the page. Then another user User:Yom did some edits and I Improved Yom 's edits futher. I even, out of curtesy, informed The Evil Spartan of my work. I had even included some sources from the CIA factbook which was Evil Spartans wish.
Then to my horror I found The evil Spartan had stomped in and reverted not only all my hard wrork but that of the user Yom as well.
Sorry to burdon you with this, but I really feel this editor's approach with this page is unnacceptable. Can you please advise me how to report this editor properly. If this means contacting an adminstrator then please consider him reprted. Thankyou :) Smeggypants 23:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alison I was told to contact you by Miranda. She is helping me with a criticism I am writing up for the fark.com entry. I expect it will be vandalized quite quickly. I think she was looking out for me. I have no idea what I am doing but it is good to know there are people who want to stick up for factual content even though it might annoy some people! Any criticisms you have to offer would be most appreciated! Rhonda Faethe 02:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Also Alison - I went ahead and edited the Shadowban page to reflect more sources. This was my entry in case it gets vandalized by tommorow:
The weird-news-aggregation community website Fark employs the practice; community backlash against this and other practices by administrators and/or moderators spawned the creation of a similar website called banniNation, which attempts to avoid such methods.
Another way to shadow ban someone is to use the Global ignore feature included with vBulletin community forum software. According to vBulletin's website, "This feature Global ignore user aka 'Tachy goes to Coventry' - when enabled all posts by the specified user will be ignored/unseen by other members. Automatically added to the all users ignore lists." [1] . vBulletin forum administrators use Global ignore to hide posts from disruptive users who may otherwise react publicly to being banned, or create legal issues for other users of the website. An example of this is found on The Admin Zone[2]. In response to a question concerning the moderation of a user creating legal issues for an animal care forum, an administrator posted "My 2 cents: Disable her account or put her on global ignore. To me the issue isn't this kid, but your community. Is this the best thing for your community letting her posts, her story, her odd status...take over your community that you spend so much time and effort keeping up and running and civil?"[3].
Discussions concerning the Global ignore feature in vBulletin go back as far as August of 2000[4]. The use of this feature was viewed as a way to alienate a user from the rest of the community by causing the least amount of disruption. In a forum post, vBullletin member Sharg states that “Global ingore is really great. Even if you want to keep your database out of trash wluke. Cause by time the ingored user will get sick of posting and being ignored by eveybody so he will simply leave the board then once he leave you can delete all his posts.”[5].
On WebmasterWorld[6] on January 3, 2006 a discussion thread was started concerning the Washington Post turning off comments during an ongoing discussion. Forum member HughMungus offered this advice on Global ignore:
...instead of deleting accounts or banning people, you trick the bad apples such that they think they can still post and they see their posts with everybody else's posts, but in fact they're the only ones who can see their posts.[7]
When applied to public forums, Global ignore is used as a tool to moderate discussions by 'shadowing' disruptive users. In the case of Fark, 'shadowbanning' has been used to mask contributory comments due to their content[8]. It has also been applied to members of the subscription service Totalfark without their knowledge[9]. This would appear to conflict with a members expectation of open participation in “TotalFark discussions,” which are submitted links not meant to be greenlighted, but rather commented on and discussed by TotalFark members only”.

I have thought about bringing up the issue on his talk page, and so have other users. He is not Wikignoming and removing "uncited" and "irrelevant" text - a simple check of his talk page, and what he has actually edited and changed can see that!! Hell, he's even deleted ENTIRE ARTICLES and has been cited for it in the past.
It is obvious that this user is a vandal - a deaf/blind/mute could even see that!

Btw: you fibbed about being a Catholic. You could have told me it was none of my business, which you could/should have done, but you insisted on denying it more than once.

Please reconsider your decline of it being unprotected and please take a closer look at it's purported justification for being totally protected. There is no justification as far as I can tell and the explanations given simply aren't occurring. There is no "continued" vandalizing by anyone. It was unprotected on the 7th of June and then re-protected the same day with the assertion that it was being vandalized. The purported vandalism were 2 edits made by anonymously IP's. The first one was copyrighted material (not vandalism) and the second one was fixing the format of the article (not vandalism). It was then subsequently re-protected with the assertion it was being vandalized.Wikidudeman (talk) 08:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I have tried to include external links going to my website, but they have been removed a few minutes after. I was wondering if I didn't follow Wikipedia's regulations in doing so. If that is the case, may I know what Wikpedia's rules are?
Here is the external link that I wanted to add. If you read it, you will notice that I put Wikipedia in the references section.

Hi Alison - I'm one of the folks you've warned in the past about WP:3RR violations (lesson learned, read the full rules list and will endeavor to follow them as honestly as possible). Anyway, I noticed a weird article the other day on a random search; essentially a bio page that I wouldn't expect to see on Todd Baker. The person who created it, Special:Contributions/24.45.194.215 seems to have inserted the name Todd Baker into various articles (maybe 1/2 his edits?). One, on Cars (film), I deleted as it was an unsourced statement that seemed to backhandedly accuse Pixar/Disney of stealing from something Todd Baker produced - I did a quick search and could not find anything to support the statement before removing it.
So, after all that, I'm sure that you're wondering what the question is. My question is this; this seems to be someone actively promoting Todd Baker - is this allowed? If I run into statements such as the one I mentioned above, should I leave them alone, or change them if they seem inaccurate, unsourced, etc.? AleBrewer 07:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey Alison, I'm coming to you rather than getting into an edit war. User:Java7837 ([[11]]) has taken it upon him/herself to mass replace the template ((reflist)) template with <references/>, under the apparent believe that ((reflist)) is the same as the old ((ref)) template. Other editors besides myself have been less than pleased, have written on Java7837's talk page, to no avail. Most recently, this editor has edited his/her talk page to delete all the complaints and arguments -- see the diff here showing the complaints/arguments before this happened.
Java7837 furthermore has a good buddy, Moeron, who best I can tell is Java's sockpuppet. Evidence: Moeron left a comment on my talk page which was hand signed as being from moe.RON (i.e., without using the full tildes), but the edit history of my talk page shows that the comment was actually used made by Java -- see diff here. I am doing more research on this towards possibly reporting this sockpuppetry, but in the meantime it would be nice if the mass edit of the ((reflist)) template could be halted.
Thanks for any help/suggestions you can provide. --Yksin 23:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Alison. Looks like today it was my turn to protect an article at the same time you declined protection. Sorry for the conflict. :-) Anyway, I decided to protect this one as there were a few IPs in war with the user who had requested protection.

Hey Alison, here I am bugging you again. Could you take a look, when you get a chance, at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Deco Da Man & also User talk:Deco Da Man? This is a 13-year-old kid I had a little issue with a couple days ago over his erroneous application of a speedy delete tag to an article I work on; all was settled amicably, he's just a smart kid who is still learning that editing on Wikipedia entails certain reponsibilities. And so he & a couple of pals were messing around, experimenting, including one of his pals blanking Jimbo Wales' talk page; & in consequence he was indef blocked & Deco Da Man in term as a suspected sock puppet. But all of this on the basis of few edits, very few warnings, & not enough warnings (no final or only warning) to even warrant either kid being reported to WP:AIV. Admin response to them seemed unduly harsh & counter to normal WP policies with graduated warning levels etc. That's my view of it anyway; thought it might be good to have an actual admin take a look. --Yksin 09:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Oh gee just saw you were sick. Hope you feel better soon.

That's certainly possible, but he had his user page deleted, and added the edit summary "Out of nostalgia I return to the first page I edited and from which I took my name. DrKiernan R. I. P."

Hi Alison
I noticed that you blocked user Wanad (talk), for breaking the three revert rule on the article Bureaucracy (Talk/history). I have reverted some vandalism on Bureaucracy for some time now, all with the same modus operandi as Wanad made solely from IPs registered to the University of Guelph. That resulted in the article being soft protected. Right after the article was protected the account Wanad was created, and made vandalism in exactly the same manner as that of the IPs.
I suggest that
Can you tell me where to report this user/IP sockpuppet.

Sorry to hear my favorite admin is feeling sick. Hope you feel better soon. I have a rather mundane task I need help with. The article Deir Yassin massacre has been fully protected. I don't need it unprotected, but there is a Wikify tag about 2/3 of the way down; the article needs many things, but it is adequately wikified. This is one of the last articles in the Nov 2006 Wikify category; if I could just get someone to remove the tag from the article, we can clear the month, which would be a great thing at the Wikify project.

Hey Alison, in hopes you're feeling better now -- I see you did poke your head up yesterday, anyway. If you are feeling better...
...well, this case is unresolved again. The admin who blocked Deco Da Man (talk · contribs) the first time Ryulong (talk · contribs) has blocked him a second time, this time on the basis (of maybe 30 edits) that Deco Da Man hasn't made any edits outside his user space & is supposedly using Wikipedia as a social networking site. I think it's rather that Ryulong has taken a person dislike to this kid, or something -- there's no other explanation I can summon up for a second incidence of the harshest sanction being made on the basis of few edits, no warnings, & an apparent forgetting of standard WP behaviors like WP:Assume good faith & WP:BITE. I've also asked MaxSem (talk · contribs) to take a look -- he's the admin who unblocked him the first time.
I think this is a matter not just of needing to make sure Deco Da Man keeps his nose clean, but also perhaps of reining in an admin who's throwing the book a little bit too hard. If you can take a look, thanks. If not... I understand you're still unwell. --Yksin 17:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

71.107.145.200 keeps reverting his ip's talk page. oysterguitarist~Talk 23:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Alison, would you please go to RFPP and say that my request there has been fulfilled? The administrator who semi-protected the page I listed there didn't put the "semi-protected confirmed" template in to show it had been semi-protected. Acalamari 23:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
OTRS really aren't "agents" of the foundation in the traditional sense: they're volunteers. I'm sort of an exception, as I'm interning at the foundation simultaneously (though in reality that still makes me a volunteer), and people like Bastique obviously are actual "agents" of the foundation on OTRS, but yeah, generally OTRS are volunteers. Appreciate the message though, and if you don't mind please keep an eye on the page in case any admins accidently unprotect or revert over the protect? ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 23:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
True, but the second block was a little harsh. He'll be closely watched for a while, and I'll be first in line to block him for good if he doesn't do something worthwhile. I must be having an generous day! Hope yours is going well. --Steve (Stephen) talk 05:11, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Alison, quick question about the "Committed Identity" thing. If I should, because of the unstableness of my mental situation, happen to be committed, will I have to create a special committed identity? (Yes, this is supposed to bring a smile to a sick Dub...)
Seriously though, is the hash thing for committed identity recommended for everyone, or just admins and above? I've been on Wikipedia for a few months, and I'm starting to really get into it! I also have a digital ID certificate. Should that be mentioned, or because it uses real-life identity, probably not? Just wondering! Thanks - NDCompuGeek 10:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
About our discussion with User:Dreamer.se... Well, we're not against changes and improvements to any article. But do you consider more than 20 changes in one single day healthy to the article? At first, we didn't revert his changes because they were, indeed, good ideas. But when he added an "extended version" of the single "Sleepy-Time-Toy", we did revert it because that "extended version" does not even exist. When reverting, we did give him a good reason, but he just didn't care and kept on modifying the article with something that is not true. At the article's history page we told him: <<There's no such thing as an "extended version" of "Sleepy-Time-Toy". The difference between 7" and 12" was the sound quality.>> Don't you think this was a good reason to revert this modification? And next, he added a table with some chart positions (copied from the German Wikipedia) that is not verifiable. As we understand, Wikipedia's articles must contain facts, not gossip. Once again, we thank any positive contribution... But don't you think any major changes should be first discussed in the article's appropriate page? User:Oaobregon
I noticed right beneath the Mark Kim comment you banned a user not for his incivility but because he saw nothing wrong with it. That is the exact problem with Mark Kim. Not only has been repeatedly uncivil over the last 2 years, nor does he see anything wrong with it, he thinks its the right thing to do over and over to "protect" articles or get his way in them. I intend to open an RfC on the user (but expect it will be dismissed by him like everything else) but I would appreciate some additional feedback here. From my point of view this looks like an issue which has just gone on too long and needs to be addressed.--Crossmr 20:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking this vandal. :) Abbott75 07:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC) (PS, I love your sig, *yoink!*.)
I'm not sufficiently familiar with the :en rules for things, but you declined my request for semi-protection of Mike Bickle with the explanation that there was not enough recent activity to justify semi-protection. My impression is that I check in here every few days or weeks, and each time I do, an IP has deleted the reference to funding and the Joseph Company. Then I add it back. Other than IPs and me, no one much seems to be watching the page. Since I probably live in a different time zone than the IPs, we don't end up in a "heated" edit war, since it stays in my/their version for several hours or even days until one side or the other checks back. We trade a few edit commentaries with each other, but these do not always address the points the other side is making. Can you suggest another way of settling this dispute? Using talk pages of changing IPs to directly enter dialog does not seem like a feasible solution--my hope was that by semi-protecting the article, the IPs would be motivated to register and be more easily engaged in a discussion. Is there a minimum frequency of edits required to justify semi-protection?--Bhuck 07:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Before you delete an article you should alway inform the last editor. Otherwise you are being rude and breaking wiki rules. I may have to have you blocked if you continue. Now please provide a good reason why you delted the PS-wiibox article as it said nothing but truth, meets the rules for notabilty. The only thing you had any right to do was mark it as a stub. If you continue like this I will make sure you are blocked from wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RabisaE (talk • contribs) 08:53, 21 June 2007.

Hi, Alison
Regarding Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Pam55 I have E-mail exchanges and chats with Behmod, other Iranina users and VoA. I have reasons to believe that Behmod and Pam55 are different students of the same department of the same University (I can provide additional info by E-mail if needed). In the worst case they are only guilty in mild meatpuppeting. I decided to unblock both of them and have given them warnings about meatpuppeting. Alex Bakharev 04:33, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey Alison,
Sorry for the quick email. I am emailing you, regarding the case of Behmod/Pam55. Right now I am in the vacation in Toronto and I hardly have access to Internet and it is difficult for me to follow up the situation. I understand that I am suspected to be User:Behmod. I am strongly request to review this case again. Should not you be convinced, I am ready to provide you my phone number and Student ID. Also, I would appreciate it if you could unblock me again or at least tell me: how I can unblock myself?
I am doing this communication since Behmod contacted me several times. I will be back home on Sunday evening. Should you need to emergently contact me before Sunday, you can do it via Behmod.
Thanks,
Pam
Allie, a silly little coding question, but I'd like to know for future ref, and am working on something at the moment. Which is WP's preferred coding for the reference section, is it (1).<div class="references-small"><references /></div>
, or is (2).((reflist))
the preferred option? To make things easier, just refer to 1 or 2. Thanks/i/a;- Gold♥ 19:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
|2
option. Also, as its not transcluded, we can make global changes to how small reference lists work with one file change. It's all good :). Furthermore, ((sourcesstart)) and ((sourcesend)) complement it perfectly when adding footnotes and cites that are not embedded references. Check them out! - Alison ☺ 22:02, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reading about this ColScott character, I'd like to know a little more about him in case he starts socking.

Alison, this RfC I'm going through is well into it's second week now. How long more? Does it end? How? By whom? Some editors appear to have been given carte blanche to say just about anything they like about me, day after day; and any even remotely assertive response by me gets cited as "more evidence". I am close to losing the cool completely here, which I realise is probably the plan. The views of he RfC are splitting down the middle along fairly predictable lines. Time to call a halt; or at least enforce some civility on my attackers (the irony). Regards (Sarah777 22:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC))
Please could you remove the "This article does not cite any references or sources" strap from the top of the article, i have added the reference that was needed.

Sorry to bother you, I asked another admin (diff here), but the example I used from ANI might be removed soon, and I really want to know if it's ok to post in more than one place when I strongly suspect a sock account of being used to avoid a block. R. Baley 21:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Alison, Need you to take a peek here; I have been striving to remain civil all around but have encountered what I consider OTT behaviour from User:Tyrenius. He threatened a block (on me) stating that the word "genocide" cannot be used in a discussion debating claims that he famine was genocide! Could you please have a word with him?
Block threat: Please see WP:TPG: Article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views. (emphasis as in the original) If you contravene this, you will be blocked. If there is any matter to be included, then it must be because it is the view of a verifiable secondary source, not because it is your view. Tyrenius 20:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Reply: Tyrenius, the debate is over whether the word "genocide" has any place in an article about the Famine. (At least that is one of the interlocking debates going on here). You said "The word 'genocide' shouldn't even be mentioned, unless a secondary source has specifically used it in the context of this famine." I disagree; and I strongly object to you apparent assertion that it can't be even mentioned in the talkpage without threat of blocking. Secondary sources have been provided. I politely ask to withdraw you block threat and apologise for having issued it. Regards(Sarah777 22:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC))
(Sarah777 22:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC))
Hi Alison, first of all, in response to Iamunknown's points about Tyrenius above, I wasn't offended by Tyrenius asking me and Gold to desist and I think he was actually trying to calm things down and do a good job on the article.
I have just checked and can't find the place Sarah777 refers to where she was threatened with a block. What does seem to be happening on the talk page of Great Irish Famine is that Tyrenius asked Sarah777 and Domer48 to come up with factual references to support their use of the phrase "genocide". Instead of doing so, Sarah777 came here to remonstrate against Tyrenius and (apparently) attempt to gain your support as an admin in a content dispute.
In addition, Tyrenius has correctly pointed out that it is original research by synthesis to use the method of "genocide claim" that Sarah777 does want to use, which is perhaps her problem?
I propose Alison if you have time that you take a careful look at the activities of user Sarah777. She has already caused editors to raise an extensive and well-supported RfC about her conduct.
thanks Mark MarkThomas 07:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Then to document the controversy, both sides of it, and not clutter up every article on the matter with a section on controversy that is about half of the article. That's all I was trying to do there. None of it is orriginal research. that article has more citation footnotes than most things. Here. thank you again. --Hfarmer 00:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a pretty new admin and just did my first 2 page protections. I'd be happy if someone with more experience (like you) could take a quick look and give me your opinion on them. Did I protect them for too long? Pax:Vobiscum 10:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alison. Feel free to fix/revise my user page as you see fit. It really is nice to receive such an offer of assistance. -- Jreferee (Talk) 13:15, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Sweet Allie, I've wanted to email you for the last couple of days, yet just now that I was about to get started, I see I may not get to you in time before your departure. I'm still writing to you, but just in case, have a pleasant trip and a beautiful and relaxing vacation! Say hi and conas ta tu to your marvelous country for me, and have a pint of Guinness, all the way up! ;) Love you girl, please, take good care, k? xoxox Phaedriel - 16:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing my userpage. It seems you missed something, so I added it [18]. I'm not sure if I was supposed to change the width of each item, so I left it at 80px for now. Nishkid64 (talk) 16:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
hi I am looking to get a deleted article re-instanted but after editing its content to be more relevant - the article was on group buying - is there anyway i can get this content?
Thanks Lafir
