thank you!

Thanks for blocking the two vandal accounts that were also impersonating me. --Ixfd64 22:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

delete history

Can you delete my user page's history and my talk page's history and my user contribution's history? I want to delete this account. thanks(Jessica Liao 03:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC))

OK for the first two, but there's not way to delete user contribution history (contributions to deleted pages go away, but contributions to still-existing pages remain). -- Curps 04:16, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Innocent block

Hi, I would just like to let you know that a recent block you made on a user with the IP 202.156.6.54 resulted in me being blocked as well. I sent an email to Rob, who unblocked the IP for me as I could not contact you.

Hope you may help look into this. Different admins have blocked my IP range three times for the past 6 days, as has happened before.--Huaiwei 09:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Removal of silsor's "RfA"

Curps, I think Kim Bruning's request was very reasonable, considering we seem closer to a consensus to keep this in WP:RfA than to remove/move it. This nomination runs out in just over four days. I think silsor, and most people interested in this discussion, deserve to have it left on the RfA page unless consensus changes or a steward decides otherwise. Owen× ☎ 16:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

It's not up to a steward to make a simple editing decision like this, that's reaching way, way too high in the hierarchy. KimBruning's edit summary of "don't remove this unless you are a steward" was entirely out of line. I wouldn't pursue an edit war over it, but I'm considering filing a "request to eat the delicious jelly-filled donuts on my kitchen table". -- Curps 16:39, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

1. Support! - I think you've earned those donuts. Let me summon a bureaucrat to promote us some coffee. Owen× ☎ 16:48, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

User:Wikipedia Signpost

Curps, thanks for blocking User:Wikipedia Signpost, but I've unblocked it now — I created it after Ral's suggestion (and I'm also involved with the Signpost), so it's legitimate. I was kind of wondering how long it would take to be blocked... I probably should have left a message from my account on there. Thanks anyways for your vigilance. :-) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again for blocking it, even though it was created by Flcelloguy. Ral315 (talk) 01:37, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, that's the 4th imposter of me, and a person who has created dozens of sockpuppets. See the history of Iraqi insurgency. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-4 02:26

• Also, anyone who is a new account and edits at Iraqi insurgency should be indef banned as a sockpuppet of the original person who was avoding 3RR and has since created dozens of sockpuppets. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-4 03:07
  • I would have rather kept it unprotected so at least the person doesnt vandalize another page instead, one that we might not all notice. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-4 03:19

Wikipedia sandwich

This user contacted me via e-mail, asking me to unblock them. Your message when blocking was "please contact an administrator for verification purposes, as described on this page". I presumed the primary reason for blocking them was their potentially confusing username? -- user:zanimum

Urgent vandal

Diacrit (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) (blocked) - persistent user who creates numerous user names to remove Template:Foreignchar from various articles. Created user names include: User:Jeaijij, User:Agraman, User:Oagafauou, User:Qesecaue, User:Uefot, User:Huaelo, User:Bifo, User:Timoa, User:Feoouubiao, User:Eooaqinol, User:Xeuuces, and that's only ones I have caught on recent changes page. Most of them have only 1 edit. And the list keeps growing every second! Just look at new user log. Renata3 22:29, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I see you reverting this vandal today. Please see the sockpuppet list from yesterday at User_talk:Who#On-going_vandalism. And as you know, there are much more today, like user:-Chippy-. Is there a possibility to block the IP? Renata3 12:11, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I see it's still around and you are still blocking & reverting it. Thank YOU. I have read your upset thoughts on notice board... Well, I cannot say much. Just wish you strength and persistance. Prove them all wrong! Don't let them brake you :) Renata3 05:59, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

(Firefly episode)

You only use extra modifiers when ambiguity is present in the first modifier. Things like Serenity (Firefly episode) or Ariel (Firefly episode) get this treatment, because there are other things with the same name in Firefly. Safe (Firefly) doesn't, because there's no ambiguity within Firefly. Our Mrs. Reynolds is not the name of anything else, so it gets no parenthesis. Why decrease memory and title aesthetic when it is not necessary? --Apostrophe 01:39, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I sincerely doubt that. Personally, I'd prefer title aesthetic over the hypothetical and easily-fixable mistake of linking to the wrong article. --Apostrophe 01:54, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Blocked

Could you look into 213.42.2.21 thru .29 being blocked and see if I my account can be allowed to edit. About half-an-hour to do an edit. Why no e-mail? Marskell 18:51, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

9 out of 10 at the moment:

You have attempted to edit a page, either by clicking the "edit this page" tab or by following a red link.

Your IP address is 213.42.2.26. Please include this address, along with your username, in any queries you make.

Your user name or IP address has been blocked by Curps.

The reason given is: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Fuckjapan". The reason given for Fuckjapan's block is: "user...".

You can email Curps or one of the other administrators to discuss the block. You may also edit your user talk page if you wish. If you believe that our blocking policy was violated, you may discuss the block publicly on the WikiEN-l mailing list. Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a Wikipedia account and a valid email address registered in your user preferences.

If you would like to know when the block will expire, please see the block list.

If you need to see the wiki text of an article, you may wish to use the Export pages feature.

Marskell 19:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Or just hope it goes away. It sucks. Like rain--sometimes it's poring (trying to edit is useless) and sometimes you get a brief window where nothing is falling (right now, apparently). My ISP won't do shit having contacted them before. I've had the problem for months, only particularly impossible to edit the last two days. So it goes. I waste too much time here anyway. Marskell 22:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Hmm

I noticed you blocked User:Piper- because their name resembles the 0-edit user User:Piper. Since you came to this conclusion, I thought I'd alert you of another account you should block: User:Tom-, as an impersonation of User:Tom. Thanks. --24.224.153.40 22:22, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

85.97.139.130

Hi Curps, sorry about the jiggerypokery. 85.97.139.130 is User:Cool Cat but it seems his machine has been compromised. The unblock was a test. It should probably stay blocked until he reinstalls. silsor 22:27, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

He's running another test for which we'll unblock. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 22:47, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what the hell is going on, according to the etheral feed there is no one there, yet edits do happen. Maybe you have a suggestion? --Cool Cat ^Talk 08:53, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Re: Block

I removed the block initially because it was, in fact, the IP address of a known and trusted vandalism remover. However, discussion in the IRC channel indicates that Cool Cat has suffered some sort of attack, meaning that his IP address now also generates vandalism.

While the discussion is ongoing, and until Cool Cat can isolate the problem and remove it, I don't think there'll be any objections to blocking further vandals - I ought to have reblocked, and I should have advised you. My apologies. Rob Church ^Talk 00:35, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I think its sorted now. --Cool Cat ^Talk 17:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

As an admin who uses block useing email is really optional.Geni 07:55, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I second this. Some of your block messages (as seen on #wikipedia-en-vandalism) are really useless. Alphax ^τεχ 13:19, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Würzburg radar

There is no consensus on this issue. See Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English). It would seem to me that the best solution is to leave the article under Primary Author as we do for CE AE disputes. In this case the primary author spelt it "Wuerzburg radar" and many Engish refrences spell it Wuezburg radar as does the primary source for this article. --Philip Baird Shearer 18:58, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

You have moved it back. Persumably while I was trying to leave a message on this talk page which seems to be rather busy at at the moment. Someone has now locked the page by editing it with a second edit using a new user name "P.B.S." Please remove that locking edit and move the page back, as it must be clear to you that you do not have a consensus for the move. If you wish to move it lets do it throught the regular method of using WP:RM for "controversial moves". I feel that it is up to you to achive a consensus for the move to a new name rather than for me to achive a consensus to move it back. Philip Baird Shearer 19:10, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

By Primary author I mean:

See WP:MOS#National varieties of English "If all else fails, consider following the spelling style preferred by the first major contributor (that is, not a stub) to the article."

and WP:UE "American spellings need not be respelled to British standards nor vice-versa; for example, either Colour or Color is acceptable."

I would seem to me that if this was applied to funny foreign squggles diacritics there would be a lot less of this type of argument.

By Primary source mean see: Würzburg radar#References

But in the mean time please move it back and put in a WP:RM for the move if you want one--Philip Baird Shearer 19:27, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

There is no "healthy majority" which could be called a consensus or even a "rough consensus" with the very low figure used by WP:RM which many feel is too low!

We do not need to stick to one style any more than we need to have one spelling version. I am VERY leary of your argument "The city is at Würzburg, and ...", that is why I got involved in the debate in the first place. I wrote an article on the Battle of Zurich (one and two) and someone changed it because of the current spelling of Zurich, yet most military books I have read on the Napoleonic Wars spell it Zurich. I have not attempted to move it back (yet) because I decided to try to get a consensus on this issue, and have been trying to do so for a year.

Which google are you using? Because on both google.co.uk and google.co.com "Würzburg radar" and "Wuersburg radar" wrap into one without the ususal ablity to put "Wuersburg radar" -Würzburg an both return only abut 4,000 pages. "Würzburg radar" also returns pages like this www.combinedops.com/Bruneval.htm which has only "Wursburg radar" on it!

"and I assert that for routine non-famous names pages can be moved to the diacritic version without further ado." is hardly the words of someone seeking to build a consensus. I have suggested a compromise on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English)#An attempt to build a consensus have a look and see what you think. --Philip Baird Shearer 20:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Blocking users

I'm trying to (slowly) learn the things I need to understand to get better at this admin stuff. I noticed that you gave Aranda56 an infinite block but I don't really see why. Also, this user Prini made two user page moves. Should I have blocked him or is the warni9ng OK? Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 20:12, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I didn't block Aranda56, just impostors of him (like Aranda56%). -- Curps 20:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I see it now, Aranda56", but when I clicked the link it leads to Aranda56 and that's what confused me. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 20:38, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Bad links

Would Curpsbot-unicodify be able to fix some or all of the problems listed under "Encoded characters" on Wikipedia:Bad links? -- Beland 23:05, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi,

Sorry I've been neglecting the unicodify bot for a while, I've been busy with other bot-related activities and didn't have time to review its edits. I fired it up again and am running it on your list. Note though that the bot will currently skip any page that contains the <math> tag as well as template pages. -- Curps 02:13, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Awesome. -- Beland 06:58, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Email

Greetings! Thanks for all the work you're doing to stop vandalism. However, I notice you don't have an email address set: I've gotten a couple messages both at the Wikipedia contact address and through Wikipedia email from people who were caught in your blocks mentioning that they tried to contact you and couldn't. Since you do a lot of blocking, would you mind setting an email address in your preferences so that you can handle the collateral damage yourself? I know you've said elsewhere that you don't use email; would you consider using a throwaway account solely for Wikipedia purposes -- or at least mentioning on your userpage some way by which mistakenly blocked users can contact you? Thanks, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:48, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Sperm Whale

Hi. Would you be able to run your bot through Sperm Whale? Thanks. --Hottentot

Well, by default the bot doesn't change &ndash; and &mdash; so it wouldn't do anything, because not everyone approves of changing those (too hard to tell &ndash; from hyphen in the edit window. I could set a flag so that it changes them regardless... is that what you're requesting? -- Curps 05:33, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

No, it's just that a lot of the links have underscores in them. --Hottentot

Poll: Micronation Infobox

An info box template has recently been created by myself and O^O for use in Wikipedia articles about micronations and other unrecognised entities, to address longstanding concerns and edit wars that have resulted from the inappropriate use of the standard country infobox in these types of articles.

This new info box has so far been successfully incorporated into the following articles: Sealand, Republic of Rose Island, Independent State of Aramoana, Empire of Atlantium, Avram and Province of Bumbunga, and it is intended to incorporate it into most of the other articles in the micronation category in due course.

However, one editor, Samboy has suggested that the micronation infobox should be excluded from Empire of Atlantium on the grounds that the article is "not notable" and because only 22% of micronation articles in Wikipedia currently have the info box (ie because the info box project is not yet complete).

As someone who has contributed to similar discussions in the past, I thought this might interest you. I have instituted a poll on this subject here, and invite you to review it if you are so inclined.

Thanks. --Gene_poole 06:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

My personal issue with Gene Poole's action is that there is a conflict of interest here. One of the first micronations he added this infobox to is, conveniently enough, his own micronation. And, while he sets up a poll about whether we should add the template to the article, he did not mention the poll in WP:RFC, which is the best way to make the poll visible to people who have never been involved in the issue. Instead, he posts the existence of the poll on the user pages of a number of users who he feels are symphathetic to his micronation. User:Tony Sidaway has felt that this kind of campaigning is dishonest. Samboy 07:26, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Email contact

Hi, I just got an email from somebody you blocked who had set up an account that looked like an IP address in order to test whether it could be done. When she tried to log back on she could not, because her IP address had been autoblocked. Unfortunately she could not email you to request it be cleared. Looking upwards on this page, it seems that I'm the sixth person in the last two weeks who has noticed that your lack of an email address is a problem when you are placing so many blocks. silsor 06:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Blocking and email

Hey Curps -

Could you put your email in your user prefs and set your account to accept email? This is really needed for anybody who blocks other users and IPs since every so often the block hits people who are innocent bystanders and sometimes the blocks are mistaken (we are all human here :). Such a person contacted me to lift a block you placed on a user name that looked like an IP. He was not aware of a policy against that and the block also blocks his real account. Thanks! :) --mav 19:32, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Requesting an Unblock

I am posting this message on behalf of a friend of mine (User:Callisto`) who would like to get his account Callisto` and IP 60.224.52.28 unblocked. He says that he would contest the block himself however is unable to edit this page. The block says he is an imposter of a user User:Callisto although no user nor talk page exists for this user. He said to make a note on the talk page of Curps.

I can assure you that User:Callisto` is not attempting to impersonate any other member. Callisto is his online alias and this can be verified at his Battlefield 2 stats profile and HLFallout.net staff account profile. To my knowledge he has no history of vandalism on Wikipedia. There also appears to be no record of him being warned before being blocked.

Thanks in advance for your prompt attention to this matter,

Juice 12:52, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

The user pages and their talk pages have been deleted, however unfortunately there's no way to delete accounts or their contribution history. -- Curps 00:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Then how come people can still leave me comments if my user pages and talk pages are deleted? (69.117.27.68 01:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC))

The pages' contents and history got deleted, but there's nothing stopping anyone from re-creating User:Kyla or User talk:Kyla just by editing them. There's nothing stopping anyone from editing and creating User:Asdfsgasdfasdsfa either, even if there's no such user as "Asdfsgasdfasdsfa" and no such page ever existed before. That's just the way the software works. I could put a {{deletedpage}} template on them and then protect them, but that's a bit extreme. Right now there's no content at an of the four pages (user and talk), so it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment. -- Curps 01:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Can you put a deletedpage template on Kyla and Jessica Liao? (69.117.27.68 04:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC))

Well, that template's only supposed to be used when someone is persistently recreating a page that got deleted according to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (for instance, a hoax or nonsense page). Right now, nobody has recreated either of those two user pages or their talk pages, so it doesn't really apply yet. The template's not really supposed to be used in this situation (talk pages). So maybe we can wait and see. -- Curps 07:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Re block

Next time you block an anon IP - READ THE INFORMATION ON THE IP TALK PAGE FIRST!!!!!! I am sick of having loads of disgruntled wiki users email me because they know I'll unblock 202.180.83.6 (since it also blocks me). It's for that reason - among others - that that particular page asks for blocks to be limited to one hour and asks that I be informed before any block is made on that IP. PLEASE do that if you ever need to block it again! Grutness...wha? 00:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry...

...but Lucky 6.9 blocked me, although I was sticking to one name and respecting the 3RR. In that case I will have to revert to using throwaway usernames. Ylevisuba 03:16, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

See my reply on your talk page. The best thing might be to contact User:Linuxbeak, to arrange for him to make an announcement so that you wouldn't be blocked when using a single username. -- Curps 03:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Email followup

Hi Curps, this is a followup on my earlier comment about setting up an email address. Quite a few people have been asking. Today I read an email on wikien-l from a user who was blocked and couldn't contact you to have the block removed. You can find the email here. Please set up an email address and start taking your share of responsibility for your actions. He also said that the block summary you used was "user...". What does "user..." stand for? If it stands for "username" then what does "username" stand for? silsor 17:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, seconded. We've been getting similar stuff on helpdesk-l... it's also particularly annoying on #wikipedia-en-vandalism to see "user..." as a reason - surely you can at least spend a little bit of time writing in "user blocked for innappropriate username"?

Thank you!

Hey, thanks for restoring my userpage and user talk page after vandalism so quickly, that's very much appreciated! Solver 22:57, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Ditto!

As above, thanks for restoring my userpage.  :-) Lawyer2b 00:30, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Need help on Meta.

Hey, do you have an admin account on meta. I think a vandalbot is creating accounts, I'm blocking them as fast as i can, but there are tons.. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges Thanks.

Hmm. Ok thanks though, and thanks for the links, it will be good info for later when the bcrats asked me why I blocked so many users :) If you decide to do some work on meta though, I would support your RFA. «»Who?¿?^meta 02:49, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

4.242.*.* Vandal

Just thought I'd let you know that he's back again at 4.242.192.49 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) --anetode╔╝ 06:41, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

This vandal just might have some sort of personality disorder or other psychological ailment. --anetode╔╝ 06:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Y CVn

Like this user talk needs some inflating: Of course, thanks. I confused the greek Y and the german Y, which are named alike. Fixed it. MfG --Thuringius 21:48, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

165.21.154.111 and .116

You might get some complaints about these, since they're Singapore ISP proxies (and the same guy used .108 just now). A better solution might be to block 165.21.154.96/27 for a short time (a range block which blocks .96 through .127). I've done this just now. -- Curps 00:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

You beat me to it by a few seconds. I was just going to block 165.21.154.96/28 (I haven't seen anything above .111 yet). Thanks! Owen× ☎ 00:25, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

My mistake; forgot about .116; /27 was right. Owen× ☎ 00:28, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, I hate/hated doing it, but we have had persistent vandalism from this ISP for a few days now. I've been doing 15 min and 1 hour /24 blocks. Yes, I realize this is a lot (255) IP's, and I did think of smaller subnets, but the ranges were so wild. I think we should discuss another solution, if possible. BTW I just did 165.21.154.0/24 for 3 hours. «»Who?¿?^meta 02:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Who, I blocked 165.21.154.96/27 again a few minutes ago, so you may want to unblock and reblock to avoid releasing those 32 IPs too early. Owen× ☎ 02:47, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I did them for 2 hours instead of 3. I hate blocking them for this long, but this is becoming ridiculous. Last nite after the short blocks expired, they were back at it again. It's a shame we have a few valid users on this ISP. «»Who?¿?^meta 03:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
