Report

Below is a report I filed at the correct board but no one was available to help. I have decided to approach you over the matter as you are an admin and could perhaps offer the correct assistance.Rain the 1 22:19, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

"This is regarding the behaviour displayed by User:AdamTayl. This editor constantly been updates article with unsourced information and causes WP:OR problems. Today this editor targeted myself and User:JuneGloom07. We have been working on articles close to their chosen topic, Holby City. A lot of problems rose from their unsourced mobile edits to Holby City (series 16). They recently created Holby City (series 17) and I was shocked to see - not only a mess, but "?" inserted in the prose where he could not provide the correct episode details and masses of unsourced data. Not to mention the series does not begin for another month and little information is known.

I added citation tags while JuneGloom07 appears to have moved uncertain and unsourced data. User:AdamTayl was unhappy that we followed protocol. He used the article to perform a dummy edit to tell myself and JuneGloom07 their opinion of us in which they state: "You two are the most irritating editors I've heard of. Extremely ignorant, never thanking anyone, self-centered, just leave..." [1]

This editor seems to enjoy telling others to leave Wikipedia - "Stop editing you prat." - [2]

I have actually made an effort to correct unsourced information. But it got too much so I issued warnings. If you view his edit history for his talk page you will see that they blank each warning made. They made an accusation that we are ignorant yet they continue to ignore valid warnings and carry on regardless. Yet this editor has run of field wrecking articles and creating new ones consisting of original research. Their attitude is unsavoury to say the least. [3].Rain the 1 18:34, 19 September 2014 (UTC)"

Extend PC time? --George Ho (talk) 06:36, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi I have just checked and I don't see any reason to extend it. In the past month there has only been one unsourced IP edit 5 albert square (talk) 17:10, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Could I ask what you think about this block? From my perspective, I don't think the evidence presented so far is entirely convincing. PhilKnight (talk) 09:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi @PhilKnight:

Looking at the edits of both the users, I can see where Kww was coming from block wise. If it was on edits alone I would say possibly the same user because they are demonstrating the same kind of behaviour. However taking into consideration the time card which I have looked at for all the editors I would say no as Luke's seems to be different 5 albert square (talk) 11:43, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Would You Consider Overturning my Ban?

Hi 5 Albert Square, excuse me for ban-evading via an IP address to ask you to consider unbanning me, but I don't see any other choice. I was permanently blocked more than two years ago on charge of sockpuppetry, which I deny. I am asking you and three other administrators to look at it. I just picked you off the list, checking only that you were recently active.

I need to keep this invitation neutral, so the best thing is just to point you to my RFC/U (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Colton_Cosmic#Statement_of_the_dispute). I can't restrain myself from saying that the RFC/U was kidnapped by my long-term hounders, and that I was denied the ability to speak in my own defense (unheard of in RFC/Us and against their clear instructions.

I'll also risk saying, but judge for yourself, that I never socked Wikipedia, and that an injustice has been perpetrated against me.

I would answer your questions if I could but you'll have to unblock my talkpage, presumably a less-controversial act.

Colton Cosmic.

No I will not consider overturning Wikipedia's decision 5 albert square (talk) 19:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Request for comment on noticeboard

5 albert square Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct way to request comment from another admin, but I'm not satisfied with the unfair & misleading manner in which an admin has evaluated my report on edit warring/enabled the reported user's behavior, and I'd like for another admin to give their input (please take note of the comments section, and the primary issue). I'd really appreciate it, and please let know the correct way to go about it if this isn't.--Lpdte77 (talk) 19:33, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi

I wouldn't be able to overrule another administrator. I would suggest that you take onboard the suggestions made by Kuru. If you really disagree with Kuru's findings I would suggest that you take this up on their talk page 5 albert square (talk) 22:05, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Weird

So, I come across User:Bobbynathan on my watchlist and thought the name seemed familiar. Then I remembered User:Nathanbobby. They edit all the same pages linked to EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale characters. That's not a coincidence, right? - JuneGloom Talk 20:14, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

They indeed quack louder than the duck! Thanks for that, I will block! 5 albert square (talk) 20:53, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Page history

Hiya I saw you posted something on another users talk page about page history and It reminded me I've forgotten how to do it lol could you remind me? Many thanks User:Ozzykins97 User talk:Ozzykins97 12:11, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I've checked my edits for the last day and I can only see that I have been posting to ClueBot NG's talk page regarding the bot not archiving. Are you wanting ClueBot III to archive your page? 5 albert square (talk) 16:49, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Noo it was Deirdre Barlow something? I was having a nosey cause I hadnt seen the user before and saw you posted something about the history, it was probably from a few days ago? Can't you tell me how to get the history I just want to have a look at a couple of pages. User:Ozzykins97 User talk:Ozzykins97 22:13, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

To get the history of an article? I just click history at the top of the article page 5 albert square (talk) 22:30, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Where is that? I use this on my iPad so would the layout be different? User:Ozzykins97 User talk:Ozzykins97 22:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

It's located at the top of the page. I don't have a clue how to use Wikipedia on an ipad as I don't have one. Sorry 5 albert square (talk) 22:44, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

No problem thanks anyway :) User:Ozzykins97 User talk:Ozzykins97 22:13, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

If you're using the Wikipedia app maybe you could try using an internet browser? If you can do that on an ipad 5 albert square (talk) 00:07, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

I am on internet browser I might try the app actually it's worth a try User:Ozzykins97 User talk:Ozzykins97 13:13, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Are you maybe then using the mobile version of Wikipedia? At the bottom of the page you should see the option of mobile and desktop. Try selecting desktop 5 albert square (talk)

(talk page stalker) I use the mobile version of Wikipedia on my iPad. To get the history, you just need to click on the link in the little banner at the top of the article that says something along the lines of "last edited X days ago by..." - JuneGloom Talk 03:41, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Yeah thanks I got it now :) and excuse me June but how am I a talk page stalker? I only asked a question? User:Ozzykins97 User talk:Ozzykins97 00:36, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

June means that she is the talk page stalker because she watches my page and occasionally answers questions on my behalf. I do the same to hers :-) 5 albert square (talk) 00:45, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

User talk:Laromire

Thank you for re-blocking the block-evading editor using the IPs 198.24.31.118 and 198.24.31.123. That is indeed the same editor again. In that regard, you may be interested in the request from User talk:Laromire for another IP used by the editor, 205.201.255.5. The timing of that is .. odd. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:33, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Beetstra:

Thanks for that. Yes that's very odd to say the least!

@Courcelles: I would appreciate your input on this. This is related to the government IP that I posted about on your talk page. I checked one of his IPs that I blocked yesterday and found this. Then on top of that user Laromire making their first edit in the best part of 4 years to request that another IP confirmed to be used by the same sock is unblocked?

Would there be anything that Checkuser would be able to do? The sockpuppeteer is User:Slowking4 5 albert square (talk) 23:14, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

I also note that the IPs that were blocked by 5 albert square yesterday started editing practically on the very moment that the block expired (one on the day, one 2 days later). Are there still sock-IPs (or accounts) editing that we are not aware off, or did they really put it in their agenda ..?

I am also pinging User:EdJohnston here, they may be interested to see this as well. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 06:05, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Just to answer the first question: yes, Slowking4 is also active on other IPs (though 1-2 edits per IP, generally) .. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 13:03, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Surely there is something Wikipedia can do. @Courcelles:can anything be done by CU? 5 albert square (talk) 02:55, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Just a thought ... nothing has been said about what is happening to Peter's stall. Any ideas?
Cheers! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 11:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Not sure. I haven't watched Eastenders properly in a few weeks. Is he giving it up or something? 5 albert square (talk) 21:41, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

He has been in New Zealand for a few weeks. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 22:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Ah OK. I would've thought that he would've been back in a few weeks. Nothing to indicate he's left 5 albert square (talk) 00:00, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Hey!

Noticed your holiday notice on your talk and just wanted to pop in and say HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY!

Thanks @Rich Smith:. I'm off to America for a few weeks. New York for a few days then off to stay with my mum in Florida. Never know, I may bump into Cobi lol! I'll probably be online at some point though. My birthday on the 28th and I know I'm getting a laptop :-) 5 albert square (talk) 00:16, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Copy edit Grammar

Hi, I notice you are part of the Guild of Copy Editors, so I assume you have a good knowledge of grammar. If you do, could you please advise me as to the proper grammar of the title of this article: France-Habsburg rivalry? I'm wondering whether it should actually be French-Habsburg rivalry (in the tradition of this article: (French–German enmity); or whether it should be Franco-Habsburg rivalry (in the tradition of this article: Franco-Austrian Alliance). Thanks, Uhlan ^talk 22:42, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Page moves

Hiya 5 albert square, Seeing as you moved a few pages I was wondering if you could possibly move all the pages he's moved back,
There's been a few discussions here there & everywhere but this is the most recent discussion (My archives rather long so be prepared to wait forever )
I completely understand if you'd rather not,
Thanks and have a nice day :),
Regards, –Davey2010 • (talk) 21:57, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Haha I will have a look whenever I have time through the editors contributions. I will also double check whether or not the name change should apply for each article. I know Intu only got the MetroCentre last year so I didn't think it would be better known as Intu Metrocentre yet. I daresay it will be at some stage :)--5 albert square (talk) 22:05, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you :), Haha no doubt it will

, Thanks - Very much appreciated :) –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

OK @Davey2010: I think I have now got them all :) --5 albert square (talk) 22:43, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

	Thanks so much for moving all the pages back :) If I could give you a beer IRL i would but sadly I can't, Anyway thank you - very much appreciated again Cheers, –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Lauren Branning

i recently made a correction where I removed Lauren Branning from the departing characters section of the Eastenders cast list. I am aware she is going on maternity leave so will leave but it is only temporary unlike Johnny Carter and Peter Beale who are permaneantly leaving. Because of this she is not required on the departing characters section as she'll return in late 2015/early 2016.

She should belong on the departing list. Once she has departed she will then be added to the returning characters section. That's what I understand of Wikipedia's policies --5 albert square (talk) 15:45, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

About Roxy Mitchell on User:AnemoneProjectors

The question that I had ask wasn't just about putting up dates but whether or not we can use question marks to put in for dates that we don't know. So it would be "(2008–?)" and "(2013–?)" instead of "(2008)" and "(2013)" since the latter makes it seem like Roxy and Sean's marriage ended in 2008, when we don't know when it ended. Likewise for Alfie and Roxy. 96.238.63.200 (talk) 08:15, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi, as far as I'm aware we wouldn't use question marks--5 albert square (talk) 15:47, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Report

Hello there. Their appears to be an issue over at Taylor Hayes (The Bold and the Beautiful) - User:Arre has been in contact with me for sometime. I thought nothing of it initially but when I saw clear disregard of consensus I stepped in - but there editor reverted me and informed me that consensus does not matter on Wikipedia. So I thought it best to contact an admin as I have never heard such a strange dismissal of valid editing.Rain the 1 00:16, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents

I started a conversation there about something you were involved in.Cebr1979 (talk) 04:31, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Consensus Talks

Are allowed in relevant places. One editor going to another editor's talk page because he or she knows the other one will agree with them... NOT allowed. If they want to discuss Taylor Hayes, they would need to gain a consensus on the Taylor Hayes talk page.Cebr1979 (talk) 01:16, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Consensus has already been gained. If you do not agree with the consensus then you need to raise another discussion at WP:SOAPS--5 albert square (talk) 01:20, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

And where was consensus gained?Cebr1979 (talk) 01:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

You are going to editors talk pages too. LOL. Seriously now, stop being naughty, accept you are acting against everyone and raise a discussion. If you would like Taylor to be exempt from the consensus, start the discussion. You cannot decide solely to do so. There is a consensus on WP:SOAPS and she falls into that category and we listen to that.Rain the 1 01:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I haven't gone to other editors pages to "rally the troops" behind me, I've gone when I need to correct them on things they are doing wrong (like when the two of you took control of my talk page just minutes ago and broke wikipedia policies by making reverts and claimed I wasn't allowed to do something that I clearly am allowed to do)... "LOL" Cebr1979 (talk) 01:29, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

As I have said above, as far as I'm aware you are not allowed to remove official notices, think about it, looking at your talk page as it is at the moment, how would anyone know you are on a level 2 warning? That's what I said above. Anyway, to overturn the consensus you will need to start a discussion at WP:SOAPS, as far as I can remember that's where the original decision was although I'm not 100% sure--5 albert square (talk) 01:33, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm not on a level 2 warning. Hahaha. Good grief, man (or woman). "As far as I am aware???" No, you are aware that you were wrong, I just showed you that. As an admin, you should have already known. You also need to find that conversation or you can't quote it. I mean, "think about it."Cebr1979 (talk) 01:39, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

You are on a level 2 warning, that's what the symbol at the side means. I don't have to find any conversations, I know what the policy for WP:SOAPS is. Please start the discussion at WP:SOAPS--5 albert square (talk) 01:48, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Just because some level was inappropriately written on my talk page, doesn't mean it's in effect. Raintheone needs an appropriate reason to skip level 1, which he or she doesn't have. I'm not on a level 2 anything. Why does an admin not know any of this???Cebr1979 (talk) 01:54, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

You are on a level 2 warning and you were on a level 1 warning previously which was issued to you, if you look at the link I posted above. By removing both of these from your page you have acknowledged that you have read them and understood them --5 albert square (talk) 02:01, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

ohmygodohmygodohmygod One cannot just place multi-levels on someone's talk page at once. The very nature of that makes no sense. Like, I did not just give you levels 1, 2, and 3 all in one shot when you broke policies (and tried to state one of your own creation was real) on my talk page. Again... Why an I informing an admin of all of this?Cebr1979 (talk) 02:08, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm gonna take a dinner break. Correcting is tiring.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:10, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Warnings are issued for vandalism, editing against consensus, removing templates etc etc. They are not issued for making mistakes and apologising. I am going to tell you one final time, you need to start a discussion at WP:SOAPS. Thanks--5 albert square (talk) 02:14, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I am going to ask you one final time... Where did this conversation take place that you claim happened? Because, with you being an admin, I'm sure I don't have to tell you that wikipedia does not operate on a "it happened, I can't prove it but, I say it happened so you have to believe it or else" type of foundation. I mean, I can find a template guideline that say's there are rules that need to be followed (like this little guy right here) and, unless you can show me that a consensus stating otherwise has already happened, there hasn't been a consensus. There's just been you saying, "I say so therefore it shall be" which is NOT allowed. Not even by admins.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I responded above and I told you I think it was on WP:SOAPS. I've already told you to start a discussion there. If you continue editing against consensus then an admin will block you for editing against consensus and it is possible that the block will be forever. By posting here and refusing to accept what I am telling you, all you are doing is providing them more proof that you won't abide by Wikipedia's rules because I'm telling you what to do and you're refusing to do it--5 albert square (talk) 02:31, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Asif you have to link it. We do not have to link policy. Though this editor will probably try to find one. I'm sick of the drama now. Everything you ranted on about proves you like a disruption. You got a level 2 for a couple of counts I oversaw before I got aggro with your level two. Quite in my right I believe. Unless you think you think you can break the rules and act against consensus until you get a level 1.. I saw you acting like a disrupter and handed out twinkle like I thought was deserved. Had I been online during the times, level 4 would have been a long distant memory!Rain the 1 02:42, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

"As if you have to link to it." 'Cause... like... "I say it happened so therefore it is" is how wikipedia operates? The two of you claim a discussion happened that completely negates the rules I've now shown you two a combined three times and, just because you say it happened, but don't know when/where and can't prove it, that's enough? It's just "your way" now? And who is owning now? We'll see each other at ANI. You want to get there first? I've got pasta boiling.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:50, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

The template guidelines also link to any consensus conversations that have been used to create the template guideline and this phantom conversation you're claiming happened but won't prove isn't there.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:58, 26 November 2014 (UTC) The template guidelines have also been updated multiple times in the last "4 or 5 years" so your phantom conversation should be there if it happened??? I mean, the rest of the consensus conversations are there???Cebr1979 (talk) 06:07, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

My talk page

Why are you making reverts on my talk page? I'm allowed to delete thoe messages. Please don't do that again.Cebr1979 (talk) 00:59, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Please review [this] and [this] before ever taking action on my talk page again. I'm not used to having to instruct admins on proper policies.Cebr1979 (talk) 01:04, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Apologies that you took offence at it, however looking at a blank page how is anyone going to know that you are on a level 2 warning? As far as I'm aware you're not allowed to remove official notices. Please also read WP:CIVIL as I took your comment to be very rude--5 albert square (talk) 01:22, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm not on a level 2 warning.Cebr1979 (talk) 01:40, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Just as a passing observation, the current wording of WP:REMOVED allows the removal of warnings and other notices - the only prohibitions are deletion tags and declined unblock appeals relating to an active block (it seems to be general practice that even block templates can be removed if desired). Sorry 5 albert, but Cebr1979 is within their rights to remove those messages. Yunshui ^雲 _水 15:36, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Yup, I got it confused with something else I read the other day about not removing official notices 5 albert square (talk) 15:44, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Beyond the grave

In case you didn't think anyone noticed; I liked your BLP block for vandalism to a dead person's page. ;) m.o.p 02:15, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't get notified. It's nice to be appreciated xx 5 albert square (talk) 04:36, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Cluebot NG

I attempted to report a false positive and the 'bot replied with a page of gibberish. That is a bug. How would I go about getting this fixed? 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:C2F (talk) 00:11, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Why have you tried to change the redirect?--5 albert square (talk) 00:23, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

@Rich Smith: asking you about this, from that diff above the IP tried to redirect the page to a page that was already on a redirect. I'm inclined to think that this is a false positive, that CBNG correctly reverted the edit because of this. Is that right?--5 albert square (talk) 00:44, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

I posted a disambiguation page at food stamps at 23:58 on 1 December 2014‎, redirecting Food Stamps to food stamps immediately after disambiguating food stamps. The bot reversion of Food Stamps "23:58, 1 December 2014‎ ClueBot NG . . (Reverting possible vandalism by 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:C2F to version by Xqbot. False positive? Report it. Thanks, ClueBot NG. (2047455) (Bot))" occurred while food stamps was still a disambiguation (and, presumably, a perfectly valid target to which to redirect Food Stamps); food stamps didn't become a redirect again until the next day (00:07, 2 December 2014‎) when you reverted it manually. It's a bit hard to follow, as Food Stamps and food stamps are nominally two different titles and the reversions leave them pointing to different articles about different topics (one is wartime rationing, the other a US welfare programme). In this context, I stand by my decision to use disambiguation and believe this to be a false positive. 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:C2F (talk) 23:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

I agree it isn't vandalism, if Rich supports what I say then the Bot is acting as per instruction. We will need to wait on a response from Rich :)--5 albert square (talk) 08:23, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Vandal at Hotter than July (album)

Hi. The IP you blocked just now--5.81.225.225, who vandalized Hotter than July (album)--is likely the same user who reverted your changes to that article just now and who I reported at WP:AVI. Dan56 (talk) 22:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Could you revert this revision--done without consensus--and fully protect this article until the RfC--determining whether the material in question should be removed--at the talk page is closed? It just seems that once I restore the material being disputed in the RfC, it will be reverted and removed again, and again, and again, by some new account, IP, etc. btw, the discussion continues to be tainted by dubious IPs and newly created accounts :/ Dan56 (talk) 16:52, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, can you please block Dan56 as he continually engages in edit wars and never learns to leave stuff alone; he's been blocked 7 times and they all were about genre wars 51 penland road (talk) 17:37, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Alfie and Roxy annulment date

Wouldn't Alfie and Roxy have to had gotten an annulment in 2014? They married on November 26 and UK annulments take 6 weeks so that would be January 7 2014. We saw them sign annulment papers whereas with Roxy and Sean, we didn't see anything being signed. Plus Kat and Alfie remarried on October 24 2014 so wouldn't that also mean that the annulment had to take place before them? 96.238.63.200 (talk) 21:32, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

That's just it, we don't know when or if the marriage was annulled, we only saw Roxy sign papers and as far as I can remember, nothing to confirm the marriage annulment had been received etc. To add any dates would class as original research, something which Wikipedia does not allow. If you disagree, I would suggest that you take this up on one of the article talk pages--5 albert square (talk) 22:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

EastEnders Ian Beale page

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me with something? On the EastEnders Ian Beale page, Cindy Williams Jr and Beth Williams are listed as Ian's daughter and granddaughter.

However, Cindy Jr has a different dad (Nick Holland), so I listed Cindy and Beth as his adoptive daughter and adoptive granddaughter, but someones changed it back and to me, the way it was put was a bit harsh. However, Cindy is Ian's adoptive daughter and Beth is his adoptive granddaughter and it should be that way, really. Thank you.

Hi, apologies, I will have a word with the other editor regarding that.

I can't find that Ian adopted Cindy, however what I will do is change the article and list her and Beth as other relatives. If you have proof that Ian adopted Cindy then please provide me with a link that I can put in the article--5 albert square (talk) 22:31, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks. Ian has mentioned in a few early episodes this year that he is Cindy's guardian when TJ reveales him to be Beth's father. If nothing can be found, could Cindy be listed as step daughter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.180.71 (talk) 22:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for helping! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.180.71 (talk) 22:48, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. I've had a look on Google and I've found somewhere reporting that he is her legal guardian. I seem to remember one of the Neighbours characters, Callum Jones having a legal guardian, I've just checked his article and his legal guardian is listed as his adoptive father. Based on that, I don't see an issue with an issue with listing Cindy and Beth as Ian's adoptive daughter and granddaughter. I'll do it just now :)--5 albert square (talk) 23:06, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Respected Albert Sir, I am USER:Mriduls.sharma I have spoken abusive langauge because User:Krimuk90 was not listening to me and he was calling that stop ruining my alignment and was not answering my questions properly he was rude to me so i became really angry and spoke harsh words to him. He calls me a she but i am a he that's why i was really angry of calling me a she and also becoming rude to me. He should have been polite requested me if you want to ask questions then please be in alignment and also he should send me link to how to ask questions on somebody's talk page.If you don't want to unblock me then make the block to a stipulated time which should last for 3 months. Please i request you to listen to my problem From a male user :USER:Mriduls.sharma 193.235.146.30 (talk) 10:21, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

From the evidence I have seen of personal attacks and threats of violence that I saw, absolutely not. Wikipedia has a zero tolerance attitude towards threats. When I blocked you previously for two weeks for the same offence, I was assuming good faith and assuming that the time out would give you the chance to reflect and realise what you did was wrong and then you could come back and edit constructively. The first thing you did upon your return was to post an apology on Krimuk90's talk page, however, after the previous personal attacks, Krimuk90 decided they did not want to deal with you and to me that is understandable. Your response however was to launch back into the personal attacks and threats of violence again which is completely unacceptable. That to me proves that you learnt nothing from the previous block, therefore another temporary block is pointless because in a months time we will be in the exact same situation. So no I will not be unblocking you--5 albert square (talk) 13:16, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

My problem is that you changed the BBC's website. The article correctly read that it is http://www.bbc.co.uk/ before you changed it to a Blogspot address. When I looked, you had done the same to Sky (United Kingdom). The blogspot websites you tried to link to are in another language and obviously nothing to do with either the British Broadcasting Corporation or Sky. To me, that looks like you were attempting to add spam links to Wikipedia, especially (and User:XLinkBot's operator will confirm this) as Blogspot is on our list of list of websites to be discouraged as it doesn't comply with our policies and guidelines.

If you have a genuine reason for changing the website addresses for both companies to a Blogspot website in a foreign language I would be interested to hear it.--5 albert square (talk) 15:39, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Florida_Basketball_Association

I am very unclear on why this page was deleted. I spent hours researching, writing and finding citations for the article only to have it removed for no apparent reason. The information is accurate, article is formatted cleanly. TheScottDL (talk) 22:10, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, from what I can see @Secret: nominated it for deletion as it failed WP:GNG, the result was delete as it did not meet the notability guidelines. It then got recreated, and then nominated for speedy deletion, when I looked at it, I genuinely couldn't see how this team are notable as per our guidelines. From what I can see, one of the issues for the first deletion is that the sources were not reliable and I couldn't see that the sources provided by you would pass our guidelines for reliable sources either. I would suggest that you read our guidelines regarding notability and reliable sources and then if you wish I can move the article into userspace for you so you can work on it before submitting it as a main article again once it becomes notable--5 albert square (talk) 22:37, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

@5 albert square: I added several references from highly reputable sources (ex: Miami Herald, USbasket). The FBA is one of 16 basketball league covered by USbasket.com and is should be considered one of several "minor leagues" I have been recently researching and updating. I would appreciate you moving this page to a userspace so I can continue to research and add to the article. TheScottDL (talk) 01:37, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, just leaving a note here in case my reply at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism#User-reported is not seen. Basically I'm just watching out for this guy who is scamming local businesses in my area, and using his ability to edit Wikipedia as a way of bolstering his false claims. His vandalism is apparently under the threshold of standard policy, but this happens to be exactly his MO: get away with as much as he can, while playing by the rules of whatever system he's grifting. I hope we can eventually institute a more permanent solution to this ongoing situation, even though an IP ban is admittedly hardly effective, in the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASK472k (talk • contribs) 16:45, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

December 2014 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2014 Newsletter

Drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in November's Backlog Elimination Drive. Of the 43 people who signed up for this drive, 26 copy edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: The November Drive removed 26 requests from the Requests page and 509 articles from the {{copy edit}} backlog. We copy edited 83 articles tagged in the target months; July, August, and September 2013. Together with tag removals from articles unsuitable for copy editing, we eliminated July 2013 from the backlog and reduced August and September's tags to 61 and 70 respectively. As of 01:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC), the backlog stood at 1,974 articles, dipping below 2,000 for the first time in the Guild's history (see graph at right). Well done everyone!

Blitz: The December Blitz will run from December 14–20 and will focus on articles related to Religion, in recognition of this month's religious holidays in much of the English-speaking world. Awards will be given out to everyone who copy edits at least one of the target articles. Sign up here!

Election time again: The election of coordinators to serve from 1 January to 30 June 2015 is now underway. Candidates can nominate themselves or others from December 01, 00:01 (UTC), until December 15, 23:59. The voting period will run from December 16, 00:01 (UTC), until December 31, 23:59. You can read about coordinators' duties here. Please consider getting involved and remember to cast you vote—it's your Guild and it doesn't organize itself!

Thank you all once again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve anything without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, and Miniapolis.

You know Future Perfect had blocked him for a week mere minutes before you imposed an indefinite block. There was no subsequent reason for the indef, so I presume you just went for the block button at the same time. It doesn't explain why you honestly thought two reverts over such a trifling matter was worth an indef, but at the very least you should restore Future's original week-length block.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 04:41, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Kashur99 Edit Warring

Hello. I noticed you blocked this user for edit warring. There was a report at AIV by an IP (which I'm sure you are aware of, the IP that is) accusing another user (User:Ikshir) of being a sock. Due to the closeness between the block time and the account creation, and identical nature of the edits I ran a check which found the accounts to Likely be the same user. As such, I indef blocked Iskir. However, the range is highly dynamic and large, so this may recur. Also, it is a possibility you may wish to extend the block on Kashur, but that is purely your discretion. In any case, I'm headed to bed, and felt it best to inform you of this as it definitely relates to the admin actions you undertook. Cheers, NativeForeigner ^Talk 11:10, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Q

Hey 5 albert square, thanks for the block on RRRR8888. Now, combine this edit by an IPv6 with this edit by RRRR--I think it's pretty clear that these are the same. They're also editing the same stuff. In addition, there's 2601:C:4180:51C:30EF:C545:FE09:AA7 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), editing and bitching on the same pages. Both IPs are comcast6net, and they're in the same range. I think blocks are appropriate, certainly on AA7 since that is the most recent one used. I'd do it myself but they're trying to duke it out with me, and I'd like a second opinion anyway. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, @Drmies: going on the behaviour I'd say they're the same so I've blocked them both. I've checked and I don't think a range block is possible, I think we're possibly in whack-a-mole territory here--5 albert square (talk) 02:20, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, 5. Funny thing is, the IP with the most edits, one of them actually (partially) reverted vandalism in an article where I just blocked two accounts. Well, we'll see. The Ninja article is semi-protected, and we'll just have to see if it gets bad. I appreciate the help, Drmies (talk) 03:51, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I did think about locking The Game page that they vandalised. The only reason I didn't is because it's a talk page and if I lock that then they may just put their vandalism on to the main article. Hopefully they will give up--5 albert square (talk) 11:55, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Your Message...

Hello, just to say the information that I contributed about The Apprentice was added because of information that I have gathered. Lord Sugar had specified that 'The Apprentice will not be airing in the spring time (as it usual does), because of tight time schedules, therefore it is most likely that it will air again in Autumn 2015'. Assuming that it lasts for 12 weeks, as it usually does that means that it will end in Winter 2015. It would be helpful in the future if you confer with the user who writes the information before deleting it, as it may be verified and correct information. I never write anything that is not factual, nor accurate, and I will continue to do so.
