A warm hello to all those signed up as guarantor members of the soon-to-be-rebooted UK chapter! Voting is now open over at meta - there's tons of information online over there, and the mailing list has been very active too. Discussion, comment (and even the inevitable technical gremlins!) are most welcome at the meta pages, otherwise please do send in your vote/s, and tell a friend about the chapter too :-) Privatemusings (talk) 22:29, 20 September 2008 (UTC)I'm not actually involved in the election workings, and am just dropping these notes in to help try and spread the word :-) I welcome any or all comment too, but 'election related' stuff really is better suited to the meta pages :-)[reply]

Wow, my computer blows up and forces me to go away for a while, and I return to find you're an Administrator! Congratulations, dear! Ariel♥Gold 17:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hee hee, it wasn't by choice, I had a major computer failure, and no way to edit. But I'm back, so you should come back too! :) Ariel♥Gold 18:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Scarian. My name is Wiki libs. It's a pleasure to meet you. Hope we can collaborate on an Wiki-Project someday. The Real Libs-speak politely 23:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[1] If every edit made by this character isn't reverted and if every page he's created isn't speedy D'd... you might have a task to do whilst eating your Wheatabix :D . The Real Libs-speak politely 02:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello "Scarian", welcome to Wikipedia! Let me know if you have any questions about this place. Enigma ^message 18:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to congratulate you on becoming an admin. I have it on good authority that it's extremely difficult, so you must be an excellent user! Enigma ^message 18:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you weren't vandalizing because he is my hero. Luv ya, thanks. Irish♥forever^{(and lovin' it)} 00:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you have a spare minute that is. Some recent changes resulted in dumbed-down ENG. I patched a couple. I probably missed some. The Real Libs-speak politely 17:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Scarian! Not that I doubt your judgment in the slightest, but I'd like to point you to the recent discussion here. I'd also like to draw your attention to the fact that the aforementioned user has made a number of personal remarks—one of which has revealed non-public personal information by advertising my real life location—and has also sent me a snarky off-Wiki message in which he claims that he will no longer assume good faith. I hope that's not his idea of moving forward cordially! How do you suggest I deal with this? Thanks, RedCoat10 • talk 12:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to ask you to reconsider the closure. Yes, it's a big and complicated case, but a CU alone wouldn't be sufficient, as laid out by other editors who have spoken up. If you prefer not to re-open, I would ask that you provide some specific guidelines on how to proceed. --GoodDamon 17:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully suggest dropping the whole matter. The motives behind this fishing expedition should be clear enough to any neutral observer. As Workerbee said, use the words "Unrelated" and "SSP is not for fishing," and tell them to sod off. For those who insist there are stylistic similarities between us, I suggest that you look at the style of citing references, and the fact that I italicize the names of publications and he does not. Workerbee and I are different people, probably living in different states if not different regions of the country. 300wackerdrive (talk) 17:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the interest of fairness, I always check things twice if request. Looking into it further. If it's true that you're not the same people, then you have nothing to be wary of. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 18:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have never participated in one of these processes, so forgive me if i overstep a line here. I want to note that a user, Kossack4Truth, that was a suspected sockpuppeteer of user:Workerbee74 was blocked on October 12 for violating a topic ban via the Acorn article. On october 13, the user account 300wackerdrive was created and began editing in the same, contended, portions of the Acorn article that kossack4truth had been.Bali ultimate (talk) 18:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 18:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just because somone has multiple accounts; doesn't mean they cannot contribute to the encyclopedia. and he isn't a sockpuppet. he had another account that was blocked from username policy and he got a new account. You need to realize this before reverting edits. - -The Spooky One (talk to me) 18:37, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His original username was HentaimanXT or something like that, which was banned. The edits you reverted of his were constructive edits, not vandlism of any form. - -The Spooky One (talk to me) 18:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

also, his other account is SlayerXT, which he stoppped editing on in Early august and switched to SlayerXTT, I don't see how that's a sockpuppet. - -The Spooky One (talk to me) 18:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Last time i checked, you can have 2 accounts, as long as you don't abuse them. He had quite a bit of edits that were reverted; but it's best to AGF. He stopped editing on SlayerXT in early august, since then he's only edieted on SlayerXTT. Please explain to me how this is a violation of any rules. - -The Spooky One (talk to me) 19:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Rustyproof, who you blocked for a week (see here), created a new account (Desensitisation) and editing the same redirect page again (Asiavision). Could you protect this page and block this sock puppet and its master? Thanks! --Turkish Flame ^☎ 14:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to stop all editing on the Megadeth genre section until a consensus is reached on the discussion? The Megadeth thing is degenerating into an edit war, and I believe "MetalKommandment" was blocked for the same reason.

Edit: The issue is the hard rock genre that is put as a main genre.

??? you seem to have supported the minority on that one ol' friend. The Real Libs-speak politely 12:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS I think I smell another BBHS sock. News at 11 :D. The Real Libs-speak politely 12:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also think that I see an Angry Sh*tlicker IP editing around a block. But I am not sure just yet. Haven't slept well in the last few days (you know why) so my Wiki-instincts are slow. Remind me later to re-review the Angry S IP. I have a lot on my mind. Re looking back on the M_deth article I count about 10 different anons (not from 1 location... from all corners of the globe) and 5 different editors with lengthy edit histories restoring the disputed HR link after its been deleted. I only count 3 accounts(1 being edit warrior/socky-socky MetalKommandink) that rm the link. And 2 IPs that rm the link all the IPs coming from only 2 different ranges. (a 24.x and a 69.x range) So it's about a 14 to 5 score Just based on the edit history of the page. On the talk page the discussion is dead even when you discard the socks. Quite a battlefield. I will keep patrolling for the Angry S IP(s). I am sure he is following the bot that is going around unlinking nationalities and dates (re: wp:overlink) and re-adding the links because he thinks they look better :D.

Another note... still no coffee :D.... looks like Callmarcus user an account called "Freshtendrils" to continue his pov war an a few pages relating to Deftones. The Real Libs-speak politely 12:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you wake up.... IP 68.79.90.108 is a socky who requires a blocky. :-D . The Real Libs-speak politely 02:02, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, IP 68.225.240.96 is likely Mr "AS" and Callmarcus ignored your warning and blanked more referenced G's today. I am out until Moonday :D . The Real Libs-speak politely 10:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
