You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:24, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 44.197.200.130.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

This is turning into a bit of a joke: [[Talk:Stanisław Poniatowski (1676–1762)/GA1]]. I am actually going to be busy for the next two weeks (moving between continents), but perhaps you could take a look at this in a week or so and see if somebody doesn't need to be, prodded with a sharp GA-stick or such? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 22:43, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

So [[Metamorfosis World Tour]]'s PR closed without any comments. Should the topic be promoted either way? Keep in mind that apparently Peer Reviews are going slow lately. [[User talk:GamerPro64|<span style="color:red;">GamerPro64</span>]] 16:35, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks for the GA review ==

Hey Wizardman! I just wanted to thank you for doing the [[Talk:Politics and Prose/GA1|GA review for Politics and Prose]] and for fixing the problems with it while I've been so inactive. Hopefully I'll get back to editing soon, but that was really cool how you helped to fix the problems. [[User:Nomader|Nomader]] ([[User talk:Nomader|talk]]) 17:15, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed that you have been working on [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20100114]].  These were, alas, my edits and thus the list constitutes a "wall of shame" for me.  I noticed that you found and either fixed or deleted a couple of copyvios.  I would like to ask you what your plan is for working on this list and how I can help in the effort. --[[User:Pseudo-Richard|Pseudo-Richard]] ([[User talk:Pseudo-Richard|talk]]) 18:55, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[1951 National League tie-breaker series]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Bunt]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/1951_National_League_tie-breaker_series|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/1951_National_League_tie-breaker_series|fix with Dab solver]]).

== Copyright question ==

Hi, Wizardman! Hope you are having a great holiday season. I have a question for you if you have a minute. Are materials on the US Air Force website in the public domain? As these materials were prepared by Air Force personnel in perfomance of their duties, I suspect they are PD, but hope you can confirm my assumption. Here's a specific example: [[Robert D. Russ]] duplicates material found at http://www.af.mil/information/bios/bio.asp?bioID=6994. Thanks! -- [[User:Diannaa|Dianna]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 17:48, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
: The trouble is that the material is not from the AFHRA website as claimed. It's from the main Air Force website at http://www.af.mil. Is that material PD, do you think? -- [[User:Diannaa|Dianna]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 18:33, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
== CCI work ==

Hi, Wizard man! I see you are doing some incredible work with the CCIs. I've worked on a few, but find I have to take a break from it on occasion, plus I'm trying to do a bit more at CP. If you do have an energy left, I'll note that [[User:Ktr101|Ktr101]] has a current [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ktr101 5|RfA]]. One of the issues in this RfA is the open CCI. If you were to look at some of the entries, you might be able to provide some informed advice to the editors who are mulling over the RfA. I commented based upon the ones I did, and I asked the same of Diannaa. Obviously, we aren't going to get through them all, but perspectives from multiple reviewers should be useful information.--[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#002868;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">SPhilbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 18:22, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Wizardman. Would it be alright if I was allowed to help out in clearing the copyright investigations backlog? I have previously been helping out at mine, but then it was pointed out that I had been given faulty advice, so now I was wondering if I could help clear out some other incidents since I am unable to help out on mine, and I would like to help give back to those who are helping me.

== [[Talk:Chartered Institute of Public Relations/GA1]] ==

I saw that you just passed [[Chartered Institute of Public Relations]]. 

It looks to me like Hahc21 never finished the review, and in my view the Controversy section is problematic. The final sentence, "The former member rebuked that the accusations were "purely vindictive" and sought legal counsel.", is bad prose and talks in such vague generalities that it should either be struck entirely or gutted and rebuilt from the ground up. Did you really think this was Good Article quality? [[User:BlueMoonset|BlueMoonset]] ([[User talk:BlueMoonset|talk]]) 04:24, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

== Magnetic Tower of Hanoi ==

Hi, 
about a year and a half ago I edited an article by this name, which was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Magnetic_Tower_of_Hanoi subsequently deleted]]. See also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wizardman/Archive40#Deletion_of_magnetic_tower_of_Hanoi this section from your talk page archives]]

I've finally got around to re-editing the article and addressing the issues that were raised, specifically: I've added more references, and I've added a complete new section about another work relating to the same problem. 

The revised article is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Davidm0508 here]]

I would like the article to be reconsidered. How do I go about this?

Thanks, 
David

== Re Magnetic Tower of Hanoi ==

Actually, none of the sources are to the regular ToH. 

Source 1 is a variation of the ToH which relates to base 3 (as does MToH) 

Source 2 (concrete mathematics) refers to the exact same puzzle as MToH (though stated differently). As to your question, this is a book. I will check whether the citation is in the correct format and I will add page numbers. 

Source 3 refers to the exact same puzzle as MToH (though again stated differently). This source is the basis for the new section (Markov) added at the end)

Source 4 refers to a general review of ToH variations in which MToH is mentioned.  

I think that the MToH is s good example of a complex set of inter-related puzzles that can be solved quite elegantly. Much of the point of the article would get lost as just a section in ToH. Also, I think that the puzzle is sufficiently distinct from ToH.

== Tomcat7 again ==

I saw the fun over at WT:GAN about Tomcat7 renomming after the fail. He just did it again with [[Ortrun Enderlein]] which I decided to check out. Aside from having a source that didn't back the material and some clarity issues, he just renommed it again without fixing the major issue I had. I dunno what to do, the article even after a copyedit still reads like a machine translation in parts, straight from Google translate. You reviewed it when Tomcat7 was under the name Kürbis. I do not know what to do about Tomcat7 anymore, but it is starting to worry me about his behavior even after all the discussion about it.

To any talk page stalkers, I'm not officially retired. My fine print is meant to say that I'm done with drama. I'm no longer looking at the admin noticeboards, and as I speak I am dissuading myself from nomination-type pages as well. I'll certainly still write articles, but I'm leaving it at that.

== Hello, contributor! ==

Our combined work with the MLB tiebreaker games has resulted in a FL on the main topic and GAs for all individual articles. This should make the MLB tiebreakers a [[WP:GT|Good Topic]], so I've nominated it [[Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Major League Baseball tie-breakers/archive1|here]]. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 17:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and Happy New Year. Sorry it took me so long to respond on the GA Review page. I responded to your last post on January 1. Thanks. [[User:Nightscream|Nightscream]] ([[User talk:Nightscream|talk]]) 20:54, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

== Just a little question ==

Hey. I had several days asking myself if I had a GA review missing. I couldn't remember which it was and checking my contribs would make the task impossible. Now I suddenly see that you deleted [[Talk:Loring Air Force Base/GA1|this page]] and I have a feeling that it is the review I am missing. Could you please confirm if it is? — [[User:Hahc21|<span style="color:#333333;">'''ΛΧΣ'''</span>]][[User_talk:Hahc21|<span style="color:#336699;">'''<sup>21</sup>'''</span>]] 01:48, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for the fast answer. I will retake that review when I have more time. I also have [[Talk:UFC 148/GA1|this one]] but I am awaiting for the nom to do some fixes before closing it. Thanks again. — [[User:Hahc21|<span style="color:#333333;">'''ΛΧΣ'''</span>]][[User_talk:Hahc21|<span style="color:#336699;">'''<sup>21</sup>'''</span>]] 01:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
== Disambiguation link notification for January 14 ==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Tromsø Satellite Station]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Spin-off]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Troms%C3%B8_Satellite_Station|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Troms%C3%B8_Satellite_Station|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

Oh 1. I do love your retirement from drama - great idea! 2. I looked at this scharf article and pleased to see that he lived so long ago that his stuff should be free and most stuff that was written at the time. I noticed that on one my edits I said "badly needs reading! .... and then editting ... needs a ref per paragraph to acknowledge that this is taken from a historic source". So it may be OK??? If you do need to delete then Im sure I could knock up a stub/start - but nothing of the length it is. Nice to hear from you [[User:Victuallers|Victuallers]] ([[User talk:Victuallers|talk]]) 18:42, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
:If you decide to delete then I will try to make a stub/start - but i have no great interest - I forget my motives for helping on this one - I think it was from the time when DYK used to be an invitation to help with new users and new articles.

== [[Talk:Long-tailed Widowbird/GA1]] ==

Wizardman, I realize this isn't article writing, but I've seen comments from you recently on some of the older GANs, so I'm hoping for your advice here.

Both Gabriel.hassler, the nominator, and Samara.levine, the reviewer, were students in [[Wikipedia:USEP/Courses/Behavioral Ecology (Joan Strassmann)|this class]] that ended in December; both last edited on Wikipedia on December 20. Another student, [[User:Cobiorower]], appears to have done the lion's share of the editing, a fair amount subsequent to the review commentary (including a great deal from MeegsC), but the last day is again December 20. I don't know whether all the review's issues have been addressed.

Subsequent issues were raised by Atrian. The new semester started on January 14; very few of the students have returned to their articles (at least two dozen GANs were made by students in the course).

How do we go forward here? Thanks for any help you can give. [[User:BlueMoonset|BlueMoonset]] ([[User talk:BlueMoonset|talk]]) 17:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
== Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! ==

Hello, Wizardman, and welcome to the [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|2013 WikiCup]]! Your submissions' page is '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2013/Submissions/Wizardman|here]]'''. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:
*The rules can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring|here]]. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
*Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We ''will be checking''.
*If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
*Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
*Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.

Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on [[WT:WikiCup|the WikiCup talk page]]. Good luck! [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 19:55, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
