It takes me 2 minutes or more to save a page. 2 minutes to get a diff engine to respond. The bulk of my edits you reverted was cleaning out the empty spacings in template that bloated the large size of the article entirely and you blindly reverted all my edits without looking at them.

Why did you do this? (Isagrand (talk) 15:37, 3 March 2009 (UTC))
From Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Markbeirut/Archive, what about the fact that these contributions altered edits of other users in the AfD? Is there something else I should have done? The actions of the editor clearly seem to be against policies in some way. *breath* I know it's not a big deal, but I would like to know what the best course of action, given the circumstances, would be.

Hello. I have added a list of IPs to the case who I think are this user (I did this on the investigation's page, even though it was archived, sorry! Didn't see the 'archive' bit until after my edit).

Dear Peter,
I just realized I have been acused of sockpuppetry, for creating users Askatu, Elorza and UrkoB. This fact has been used against me in a deletion discussion that has slowly turned into (in my opinion) a personal attack and persecution for supporting Arnaiz-Villena's theories (actually, I'm not supporting his theories, but proved facts that have nothing to do with him).
I am fairly new to Wikipedia, and I'm not familiarized with some techniques used. I would greatly appreciate if you could:
Thank you, Peter. Regards. --Iberomesornix (talk) 16:39, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for unblocking my talk page. I too have been accused of Sockpuppetry, and I can’t retire unless my name is cleared from something I did not do. I have one question: is there a way to check the IP an account logs in from? - Rockyobody (talk) 18:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I am just curious why you renamed the M10 Tank Destroyer article to M10 Wolverine? The page was renamed M10 tank destroyer Aug 22 08 after what I consider a good discussion. There was no opposition; there was no strong citation for the wolverine name. I can't see where any discussion of putting the old, inaccurate name back might have taken place. I can't think of any reason why the article shouldn't be called "M10 Tank Destroyer" but I welcome your thoughts. Regards, DMorpheus (talk) 19:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I see you deleted all my requests at JC's page. Since he's on vaca, mind doing a couple more? There's all FPs that I'm transferring to Commons, and will replace the WP templates once deleted (see here for more more info, if you're not sure). Thanks. ~ ωαdεstεr16♣TC♣ 21:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello. We've never spoken before, but I've seen you in IRC and I noticed you listed your name on WP:Editor assistance. I was wondering if you could take a look at Talk:United Football League (2009)#STOP. Was I correct in saying that the link shouldn't be added? I've noticed that User:Standleylake40 has engaged in an edit war over this link with a couple of anons, as well as reverting me and more recently another user. I'm not sure where to go with this as I've never really come into contact with a similar situation (thus seeking "editor assistance").
I'm not too invested in the article (emotionally or contribution-wise), I stumbled across it one day and have just been watching it progress, mostly because I live near Sacramento and there's a team going to play there in this league. Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Killiondude (talk) 04:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello Peter. Now that I've seen Wikipedia:An#Requesting wider block for block evading sock puppet and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EmilEikS/Archive it seems that there is more abuse than I though. The recent IP socks at Talk:Mae West/Archive2 came from a range just above the one you blocked. (For example, from 217.209.96.211). What would you think about undoing the block of 217.209.96.0/25 and replacing it with a block of 217.209.96.0/24? EdJohnston (talk) 15:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
There is an edit war going on in the Captain Kirk page. I have made one change and EEMIV has re-edited it several times. Looking at the page, it appears that EEMIV, Arcayne, and Erikeltic have been arguing over the page all day. Erikeltic is now banned from making changes for 24 hours, but EEMIV and Arcayne are not. Please block them for 24 hours as well because they have actually edited the page more than Erikeltic did. FWIW, I agree with Erikeltic's edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.152.150.16 (talk) 17:26, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Ivan Kinsman here. I see you have protected the main article page which is fine by me as another editor was including information that was not independently verifiable and neutral in tone. However, I moved this information to the DISCUSSION PAGE. Now correct me if I am wrong, but, as I understand it, this information can be included here and it is not Wiki policy to delete comments just because another editor does not like them. The discussion page is used to generate comments pertaining to the main article and this is exactly what this information is doing. Because it is on the discussion page, it does not need to be independently verified or neutral in tone. I have seen numerous articles where similar information has been included and IT HAS NOT BEEN DELETED. Appreciate your getting back to me on this... Ivankinsman (talk) 21:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I notice that you have protected the Remo Mancini article citing: '(Protected Remo Mancini: Excessive violations of the biographies of living persons policy: Per OTRS ticket #2009031310056877 and request by NonvocalScream ([edit=autoconfirmed] (expires 23:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)) [move=autoconfirmed] (expir)'.
Please be advised that edits cited multiple, reliable and published articles in the Windsor Star (owned by media giant CanWest Global) which cited multiple sources. In the absence of ALL of the facts surrounding Remo Mancini and his background, this page would otherwise serve as little more than a platform of self-promotion with little or no public interest. Under the Wikipedia rules, you have 2 choices: 1) restore the article to include ALL known facts regarding the subject; or 2) remove the existing article as it is self-promotional, does not contain ALL known facts regarding the subject, and therefore is biased.

hello. this article I consider to already have a pov position...what is the best way to rebalance an article that has been written with a pov and is already short of verification .. (Off2riorob (talk) 19:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC))
You recently unblocked User:Captainclegg after he was indef blocked as a result of an SPI case. I think some of his edits since being unblocked are inappropriate given the SPI case. In addition, there are also about 6 IP editors who aggressively support his position and have no other edits except on associated talk pages (see Talk:Hey Jude). I can't say whether or not the IPs are sock puppets, but it's very suspicious. I want to request that an admin look into both issues (post-block edits, IP editors), but I don't know the proper procedure. Does one request that someone re-open an SPI case? Can you tell me what I should do? If you have any other opinions about this matter, I am all ears... — John Cardinal (talk) 22:54, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

It appears that Wikipedia has blocked access from the IP address that 3 people beginning and editing the Lisa_Kachold page originate from as WP:SOCK citing investigation. This was the same thing that happened during the Obnosis nomination for deletion, so I wonder if perhaps this might be someone hitting Wikipedia with spoofed traffic? All Wikipedia edits are situations where multiple people can access from the same systems (gateway), from the 60MHZ 802.11/g beacon, and use X11 via sit/VPN tunnels, to show an origination from the same IP gateway.
During the IP blocking, LisaKachold quickly fat fingered the login to Lisakachold and when prompted to enter a new username/login as if user was again deleted, she did so.
Can users submitting content to Wikipedia only be non-technically astute? If they are technical women, accessing/editing/submitting content via more than one human editor from the same IP, this must be sockpuppetry, (xterminal, Wifi home businesses, and complex technical systems group access are not considered possible for most accesses, especially those promoting women's issues)?
This IP ban was done while the original group was trying to fix the Lisa Kachold page, nominated for Deletion, as suggested by LinuxChix editors, within the time frame (premature since good faith editors generally suggest a reliable sources tag before nomination) of 5 days?
LisaKachold is the correct editor!

Perhaps what really killed me was what I commented to this user, which I admit now I shouldn't have. It looked to me that I thought the user was acting in good faith when he/she chose (what is now) a very inappropriate name.

This is really annoying me. The Total Drama Action article is continually vandalized by ESTABLISHED users.

However, one user did not heed my warnings. This is User:Sshafiee1659. He has been a vandal for quite some time, has received multiple warnings from a bunch of users, and even vandalized User:Bbhinton15's page. Check out the history to see what he did. He should be banned for years, in my honest opinion. Thank you for listening to my rant, and also thank you again for making me a rollback. It is so useful!!!- TDI19 (talk) 23:44, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank You For Your Message
I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 1200 edits on Wikipedia; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.
I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.
If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! PeterSymonds (talk) 03:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
