Hi Alison! I just added my name to the WikiProject: Feminism page and I know you're a member there (and I've chatted with you in the past so I thought I'd come here and ask). I'm kinda new to the Project thing. Anything special I should know? The Project pages are basically just a central location to discuss related articles and how to improve them, correct? EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 03:05, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Requesting RELDEV on both edits by this user. Uses slur and mentions school and person's name (specifically [redacted]). Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 19:46, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

• It's borderline Oversight material, so I went ahead and suppressed it (and removed your link above :) ) - Alison ^❤ 19:49, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Ah, forgot about Oversight. I'll go their directly next time. Thank you! EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 02:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Look, you weren't there... so how do you know? Being a company's CIO and not setting up your voicemail box is a notable event. Also, that nickname, totally 100% true. Ask anyone who worked there.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:0:8980:6A3:AC32:FBC4:39C0:BE6F (talk • contribs)

• Find a reliable source for it, and then it can be considered. Maybe. You don't get to post puerile name-calling in someone's biography, just because Joe Shmoe in Finance says it all the time - Alison ^❤ 05:17, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Allie, can you have a quick look at your talkpage on ga.wiki? I've asked for a block of the above name due to a lack of SUL. Thanks. INeverCry 18:56, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Yep - thanks! I replied over there. The account is gBlocked - Alison ^❤ 19:08, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated. INeverCry 22:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• I'm far too busy these days, Russavia, with work and life outside Wikipedia. I've a new job to deal with :) - Alison ^❤ 06:15, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Wow, cool stuff! I hope it is all going well for you. 112.3.150.144 (talk) 06:21, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
• Seriously, Fut.Perf., I don't think there's anything I said there that could be construed as a personal attack. How and ever. There comes a point when WP:RBI really isn't effective, especially when someone is rapidly IP-hopping around the place. All one can do is sit down and try to deal. I'm not in the mood to play whack-a-mole right now - I'm genuinely too busy right now - and it's also far too easy on WP to not acknowledge the human being behind the keyboard. Russavia is a nuisance, is banned, and did his damnedest to get me into trouble enough times already. I'm no fan. But we're both human, and can have an adult conversation. In this instance, RBI wastes my time, your time and his time. If I can find a range block I can apply, I'll apply it. He knows it, and I know it. It's my job here. But in the meantime ... - Alison ^❤ 07:52, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
  • No, of course you didn't make personal attacks. What I wanted you to do is, litterally, to cut out his. Which is what I did for you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:58, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
    • FPaS saying that you don't know how to tell an open proxy and that you clearly need help in doing so, isn't a personal attack, but quite seriously a statement of fact. So I don't know why you think this is a personal attack. I could point you to my SPI page where I was using some Icelandic IPs and Ally herself said she would keep an eye on them. They were not open proxies but ISP IPs. On the other hand, the IPs I was using in the US were another type of IP that she was right to block. I could tell you how I am doing what I am doing, then you would see that I am not using open proxies. Doing so would allow you to try and stop me, but I'm obviously not going to do that. All you need to do is use your brain. Looking at who you are, you're obviously not a dumb person, but on this issue.....well. Also FPaS nothing I have done is vandalism. Adding content to articles in addition to showing that numerous people should get down off their high horse, is not vandalism. Anyway, I'm off, got content to work on.

  • Ally, whilst I don't agree with some of your comments (especially the part about trying to get you into trouble...which I have not), the other part of sentiment (i.e. playing whack-a-mole) is advice that should be well taken by others on this project, especially when the mole they are whacking is simply adding content to articles, or creating new content....which is what we are all apparently here for. It's simply too easy to forget the purpose, but rather concentrate on the game. The game sucks and is pointless; the content is not though. Greetz and take care. 2.51.121.133 (talk) 08:51, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello A. I hope that things are going well for you. This may be a candidate for r/d so I thought I would ask for your opinion. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 19:32, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

• Hi MarnetteD - you're absolutely right on that call. In fact, it's borderline libelous so I'm going to suppress that edit. Thanks for letting me know :) - Alison ^❤ 19:37, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
  • You are welcome. I always appreciate the time you take to check on these. MarnetteD|Talk 19:40, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello there,I'm that user who's been the victim of editing the Fields Medal page(i.e.I got blocked with charge of Vandalism.).I've got three question:1)When the current protected status of that page ends,Does the page current contents remain in place or they are replaced with the old version? 2)I've prepared a new and somehow comprehensive table about Fields medalists.I posted this table on the discussion section of the Fields Medal page,and I request for comments about this(If You come there and see my that table I will be really glad,and don't forget to put your comment about it down there!;-)),but so far,just one person did so.Is it normal? 3)Should I submit a request for edit to replace the new table with current one?Or should I wait for reaching a consensus?Thank You.

I recently removed unreferenced informations in articles: West Slavs, West Slavic languages claiming that silesians are a separate nation and silesian is a language. Such a claim is not support by clear majority of scientific community and also by international law. I gave references to my edits but user (talk) keep reverting them backing it only with his POV. I also discussed this topic on articles Talk pages. Can You help me in this matter? Thank You. PS: he just removed my discussion with him on his talk page claiming it was.. "vandalism" Is that even legal? there are just a few opinion by scholars in that matter, and some scientific data:

This is next talk page with "copy/paste" by IP 95.83.253.100. I explained to him a few things, did not help. Case of Silesians is very disputed, Polish sources (above) are not reliable and also show only one opinion - Polish opinion (occupier). IP 95.83.253.100 came to Wikipedia, copy/paste some Polish sources and fight with users and Wikipedia system, wanting the strength to make changes without consensus. Franek K.
