And more [1]. Thanks again William M. Connolley (talk) 23:33, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! BTW Do you know why my edit was removed? I just explained it on Talk:Criticism of Wikipedia so if you can look my reasons over, I would appreciate it. I wasn't able to message the admin who removed it.--Louprothero88 (talk) 21:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, State of Fear, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Wikipedia:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.
The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- TS 11:38, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for editing Linus_Torvalds#Recognition but there are two administrators who think this is wrong. Who's right? Please see User:Yuzgen and User_talk:Yuzgen. Yuzgen (talk) 17:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Link to anybody but not them. Please! They stole my news without giving link back to the news source (my blog)! Then they apologized but didn't edit their news. See my blog post for the details. http://yuzgen.com/?p=117&lang=en Yuzgen (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Their version is the source of the reliable news and you edited nicely, so let it stay. What I learned today is "Big corporates are more reliable than one man.". Wait, that's not true for Linus Torvalds and Microsoft. Whatever, cheers! Yuzgen (talk) 20:55, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Apologies. My understanding was that we based Wikipedia on authoritative sources, like dictionaries, not popular usage. However, I had not realised the extent to which the redirect was used. I will be more careful next time. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Your Speedy deletion of the redirect Glaciergate could be questioned. As far as I see it was redirected to another article? Then it should go through a new redirect discussion. Can you recreate it? Nsaa (talk) 08:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
I've been watching the enormous number of Scibaby socks snap in and out of existence, and I keep seeing your name as the blocking admin. I was wondering how the process works, if you feel you have the time to enlighten me. Does a checkuser involve looking at the underlying IP and checking to see if it matches Scibaby? Thanks, and no worries about answering this if it's a hassle. I just couldn't find the relevant explanation elsewhere.--Heyitspeter (talk) 10:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Keep an eye on User:Jinnus and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Scibaby. It looks as if the Scibaby socks are back on Talk:Global warming. --TS 15:43, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
I admit to you that i have been using sockpuppets. I sincerely apologize and will immediately stop. Showtime2009 (talk) 19:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

It's currently semi-protected until March 20, but I'd like to request an early unprotection as it is being considered as a FAC.--The lorax (talk) 18:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
I looked at the discussion that was had in 2007 and I looked at the current way things are ordered in Template:Suicide and it looks like there has been some good faith vandalism. I'm unfamiliar with how it should look as anything that isn't alphanumeric looks out of order to me. Review it please. --Koolabsol (talk) 22:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Looking at the logs, it seems that on 12 January 2010 Climatic Research Unit hacking incident was meant to be semi-protected until 12 April, but that expired prematurely on 10 April due to intervening full protections. I don't think a semi-protection until 2 April is going to be sufficient - Scibaby has been at it for a long time now and his track record suggests that he will be back as soon as semi-protection expires. I'd suggest a longer semi-protection, perhaps 6 months. -- ChrisO (talk) 20:20, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Just to let you know that as soon as 68.189.95.211's ban lapsed they're at it agin - although at least this time they've attempted justification [2] for removing the pictures & video. I guess they didn't look at wp:notcensored after all. a_man_alone (talk) 07:30, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Slightly different IP, but I'd guess he's back: [3]
Ah right, fair enough! I shall revert my changes pronto! Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 20:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
You've locked out ip contributors from the Hockey Stick article, after blocking a registered editor. This is an inappropriate use of your tools, please re-open the article. The lock should never be used pro-actively.99.141.247.5 (talk) 18:04, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Good timing on the Stovl/Scibaby block; I blocked and tagged the rest of that report and requested that a CU check for sleepers. Is there anything else that needs doing? - 2/0 (cont.) 16:42, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Is there any reason why you didn't contact me when you put the boogie metal article up for deletion? RG (talk) 18:16, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Looks to me as if Magnum! This is all your fault! is another sock. It's fair to note that I'm not exactly uninvolved. PhGustaf (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
The Half Barnstar | ||
For demonstrating excellent observation skills in fixing really old vandalism which I missed despite undoing more recent vandalism 3 times. This was going to be a barnstar of diligence, but the anon who first pointed it out deserves the other half, I think. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 19:42, 21 May 2010 (UTC) |
Sorry to bother you, can you please block 202.162.216.230 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)?

You're right, we need more pictures explaining what stripping is. Maybe we can add some hardcore, uncensored xxx stuff into Pornography as well and you can contribute some of your home pictures to Zoophilia. It has nothing to do with "censorship," it's about not needing a dozen different pictures of naked women to explain what a strip tease is. In fact, I'm surprised you think we even need words when we could just make the article into a full-blown pop-up picture book. I'm sorry you think fixing your trashy article is vandalism, but that says more about you than it does me, and I couldn't care much less whether that article is garbage or not if you're going to claim I'm "in it for teh censorshipz" every time I make an edit. Have fun with your imaginary girls and Wikipedia cyber-dominance over us peons. 72.201.251.230 (talk) 14:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. Mr. R00t Talk 01:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Today there was actually the first correct (the whole history, complete lineups and real facts) article of that band, but you erased those changes. I'd like to know why's that? Ok, maybe text was not in perfect wiki shape, but you wouldn't have to erase it all, just edit would have been enough. In myspace (the source of that new information) the band itself updates the information, so that's correct really. That myspace site is also the one and only official website, before the new unholy.fi site is completely up. So you should trust that page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matulaz (talk • contribs) 20:12, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Prolog. On 16 June you blocked User:83.38.89.212 for 1 week for continued unwarranted promotion of a fringe theory. This user is back on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill article editing as User:83.36.226.22 and continuing adding this conspiracy theory. Beagel (talk) 11:55, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Check out Mike's Nature Trick (talk · contribs). I've reported it at the Scibaby sock page. -- ChrisO (talk) 08:36, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
The user above was blocked several weeks ago for suspicious sockpuppet activity after I discovered that a checkuser was inconclusive because of the use of open proxies. I am going to forward you a message from Avraham; could you please review TND's unblock request? Thanks NW (Talk) 11:49, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I notice you blocked User:SezGruppen111. I don't think this is Scibaby - the edits don't fit the usual pattern (for a start, the edits are all pro-climate science). -- ChrisO (talk) 13:46, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
I didn't vandalize it. I am the World Rally Championship fan and I add two more rally driver names that I recognized on List of World Rally Championship drivers. I'm serious. -- Videogamer13(talk). September 1, 2010 (UTC).
I'm sorry, now I don't want to make disruptive edit again next time. But I want to tell about that rally drivers and would you guess who is that American rally driver debuted in 1995?
Here is an external link on World Rally Championship Wiki: [7]
The administrator of WRC Wiki have created that page and I help editing, and the page was not complete editing yet. --Videogamer13(talk). September 1, 2010 (UTC).
Let me know, I think Jonas Andromeda is the world rally driver too that I saw on magazine, he's the American rally driver, he drove a Lancia Delta Integrale in 1995, then he drove a Subaru Impreza in 1997, later in 2006 he drove a Sköda Fabia, and he leave WRC in maybe 2007 or 2008. --Videogamer13(talk).

Thanks for your continuing work in this area.
While I'm here: for some odd reason Scibaby seems to have gone off to Nokia - or at least I've tagged a couple of accounts for so doing. If you have CU evidence (or anything else) that indicates I've got it wrong, please let me know William M. Connolley (talk) 17:06, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Any chance of long-term semi on James Hansen? One of the sock farm's favorite targets, and I think the prot log shows short-term doesn't work. -Atmoz (talk) 01:13, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your intervention in The Great Global Warming Swindle. It's lately been the object of concerted unilateral editing by contributors who seem unwilling to secure a reasonable degree of consensus before (repeatedly) making changes. It's a good point at which to pause and take deep breaths! -- Jmc (talk) 19:03, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Prolog. Did you know how Henri Toivonen died? --Gtabigfan2010 (talk) 18:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't do it again, and I never vandalize any pages again. Now I'm afraid for editing any Wikipedia pages, and I will reverting any vandalism. --Gtabigfan2010 (talk) 19:23, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't know what is a hoax name that you have said to me on my talk page 2 days ago. Please give me the example but don't insert a link of hoax name. --Gtabigfan2010 (talk) 16:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
That driver names is truly hoax. Now I understand. But next time, I never promote a hoax name again. And if I see any vandalism, I always revert it. Thanks. --Gtabigfan2010 (talk) 04:27, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Wait... I want to tell you if anyone vandalize the page, I will revert it. Then I will talk to you to give them a warning. If they ignore a warning, you must block them indefinitely. Thanks. --Gtabigfan2010 (talk) 20:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
I was on recent changes patrol and came across this user: Wiki pv (talk · contribs · logs). It seems vaguely like some scibaby socks I've looked at, but I thought I would ask for a second opinion from a more experienced scibaby hunter. Sailsbystars (talk) 13:25, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Blocking 115.147.229.238 likely won't help. If you check the history of the articles that Special:Contributions/115.147.229.238 anon edited, you will see that anon makes the same series of changes to the same series of articles and then quits. At later time a different address is used. The only solution may be to temporarily--say 30 to 60 days--prevent anonymous editing to that group of articles. This may cause anon to get an account through which we can explain things better. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I am a registered user, but I often do not log on. My IP was blocked, but I do not know why. When I looked at the block report, it listed you as blocking me but gave no reason why I was blocked. I try always to edit in good faith and to meet Wikipedia's standards, but I am only human, and am prone two error. Why was I blocked? If it was unintentional, is there a way to lift the block?
