King's College London School of Arts and Humanities: Semi-protection request

Hi Ged Uk, thanks for your recent feedback on our Semi-protection request. You suggested that it would be "better to take action against the individual than protect the article". Can you please inform us of the necessary steps in order to block this disruptive user from editing the article? Thanks again for your help!

Best wishes,

Andy. Preceding unsigned comment added by Knave84 (talk • contribs) 10:41, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Sure. If it's vandalism, and they've been adequately warned, report to WP:AIV, if it's edit warring, which off the top of my head this is more likely to be, then WP:3RRN. Hope this helps. Ged UK 12:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

"Where Are Your Keys?"

Hi Ged UK! Did you mean to full-protect "Where Are Your Keys?"? There's no dispute about the article content, just a lot of page moves, so I thought move-protection would be enough. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 14:11, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for pointing that out! Fixed :) Ged UK 22:10, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. :) — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 23:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

British Empire.

Who are you to stop a debate and enforce the incorrect upon a page? You are clearly not right, and yet you locked the page and labled me, and others as vandals. What kind of shoddy outfit is this administration? Are you incapable of discussing or debating? An utter joke, and I'm surprised, considering you're British too. Damn you sir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordOfTheCardies (talk • contribs) 20:16, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

You think edits that intentionally introduce spelling errors, and words like 'dick' are non vandalising edits? Besides, it's only semi protected, and your account will be able to edit that page very soon. Ged UK 22:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Indef protection of iPhone 4

...I just reblocked with talk-page editing disallowed, because I saw only repetitions of the legal threats. Feel free do undo. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 12:29, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the note. I will undo, as I can't see any form of threat since the block. Ged UK 12:33, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

The reason I asked for page protection and/or denial of talk page access is that the IP is not here to build an encyclopedia, but only to level threats and accusations because he can't get his way on the topic he's focused on - or because he's simply a troll (hard to tell which). ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:27, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Quite probably, but what he's doing on his talk page is not disruptive. Yet. Ged UK 13:57, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Roger. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:25, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, thx again, for the protection of Ipod touch...I thought I had done it. Lectonar (talk) 13:19, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Heh, no worries, easily done. ONe of Snotbot's best new features that, it's caught me a few times. Ged UK 14:51, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
