Hi. Here you declare: "No editor may remove content added in compliance with this restriction, unless the removal has been proposed and discussed in the same manner, and either there was no objection, or an uninvolved administrator determines that there's a consensus to remove the content." Does this removal violate your restriction, and if "no", why "no", and if "yes" are you going to enforce the restrictions? Thanks.31.193.133.169 (talk) 18:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
There we go again Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lung salad... and again... History2007 (talk) 21:09, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't notify you of this before. I was under the (mistaken) impression it was KillerChihuahua who imposed those restriction. Tijfo098 (talk) 21:27, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
In this amendment, you provide the edit summary "fix unintended narrowing of 1RR exemption: it should apply to all reverts of edits made in violation, whether the violating edit added or removed instances". Can you explain how a "violating edit" of your restrictions that "removed instances" might arise? Ankh.Morpork 14:28, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Maractus is the ED admin and GNAA associate Meepsheep. He's usually globally blocked on WMF projects on sight. He also owns the domain maract.us under a pseudonym. Cupco has had dozens of previous accounts blocked, including Selery and Nrcprm2026. He doesn't like the GNAA. Meepsheep is happy he's won this battle. Notice his edits 15 minutes apart on enwiki and ED.

I do not enjoy seeing my name dragged through AE by Iadrian yu in cases in which he was not involved in any way ,while accusing me of bad faith editing, edit warring, battleground mentality, and making personal attacks on other users he has never ever interacted with.
In conclude: This is just a disruptive use of WP:AE as a battleground. I would like to invoke :
Anyone requesting enforcement who comes with unclean hands runs the risk of their request being summarily denied or being sanctioned themself.
At WP AE, I pointed out that Iadrian has a long history of requesting blocks for me.[1]
I feel it may be a time that an AE block should be implemented on Iadrian yu, or perhaps an interaction ban between two of us, may also do some good.--Nmate (talk) 09:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
I was just looking at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Arbitration Enforcement/Israel-Palestine articles when it was decided to implement 1rr across all articles. You suggested the possibility of exempting reverts of new users from 1rr. I think there is a strong case for making this amendment to the current rules. As they stand the rules are enabling the abusers of sockpuppet accounts to have more impact on article content and discussion than they would have either without any sanctions or with the exemption on reverts of new users.
There is a systematic abuse of sockpuppet accounts in the IP topic area. We cannot even deal with someone who is totally blatant about what he is doing and openly admits he is going to carry on (User:AndresHerutJaim), let alone those who are more subtle and attempt to cover their tracks. I think this amendment would tilt the playing field a little in favor of good faith editors rather than disadvantaging them as the current rules do.
As an aside I really do think we should be doing everything we can to encourage new editors in this topic area, as a lot of the problems are to do with long time users (and their socks). This amendment would not inhibit new users ability to edit compared to experienced editors, it would simply mean their edits could be removed without being subject to 1rr. I think this is a proportionate response to the problems with sock accounts in the topic area. Dlv999 (talk) 09:46, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tim, I'm helping with WikiProject Merge's backlog of articles to be merged after AfD, and I came across Phoenix Prize for Spiritual Art, whose AfD you closed as merge. AfD isn't a ballot, of course, but I see three keep votes and two merge votes, with one of the merge votes also indicating support for keeping the article. No one besides the nominator indicated support for deletion. Our backlog is pretty clogged since, unlike delete votes, closing administrators don't perform merges when an AfD closes that way; this one has sat there with its ((afd-merge to)) for over two years. I was wondering if you'd be willing to reassess that discussion as a keep. I'm not sure that's kosher, but deletion review seems extreme in this case. Thanks, BDD (talk) 00:00, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
The Douglas_Tait_(stuntman) article that you sent to AfD was recretaed earlier this year. I again sent it to AfD, but there was no consensus (largely because some editors found relied on covereage in "articles" that have since been disavowed by the newspaper whose website they were posted on, so I think another AfD is a good idea). Anyway, the article again served as a promotional piece with many "references" to non-RSs, etc. My efforts to keep it from being used as that have been called into question by a disruptive IP. Would you mind taking a look at this ANI and posting you thoughts? Thanks. Novaseminary (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
You might want to list the number of socks he has admitted to at least. That number being 44. [2] Put that information on the top just to show people how serious of a problem this is. Dream Focus 21:34, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I still have some unanswered questions about my block, could you please respond? Please excuse the tone, I shouldn't have wrote while angry. Thanks, 117Avenue (talk) 00:49, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
FYI, the user here is User:46.7.113.111, who you blocked last night: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Blatant_sock. --RA (talk) 14:10, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
As we discussed a little while ago, I've requested that the sanctions were uplifted. Regards, Wee Curry Monster talk 13:14, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
WikiProject AFC is holding a one month long Backlog Elimination Drive!

TM, editors are usually allowed to state their case in an administrative forum without fearing sanction for doing so. I stated my case. I otherwise have not followed Mathsci around WP nor have I edited topics that he edits. Is it because I argued in my evidence section that you and the other administrators had been had by his effective use of the bear poking tactic that you are reacting so angrily and defensively? Cla68 (talk) 11:46, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if you saw my response to you on my page. Is this interaction ban a mutual interaction ban where Mathsci is not able to interact with me either? If not, would you please make it a mutual interaction ban?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 20:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering if there might be some way I could get involved in the SPI process. I've skimmed through WP:SPI/C. I hope I'm not getting in over my head by asking about this. :-) — Richwales 06:01, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello. It has been shown at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MountWassen that this Afd you closed yesterday is based on sockpuppetry. The nominator VictorVautier and a !voter Akolyth have been CU-confirmed. So while the nomination and the outcome seem to be justified, this should perhaps be reviewed for procedural reasons.
