I created Rajpar page of wikipedia, and i got a message that if the material in it is copyright it will be deleted. but the material is not a copyright and I have referenced those sites only for information. the page with Name Rajpar was not in wikipedia so I have created it. what is wrong in it if I have created it. the content which you blame is not protected under any copyright of that website it was a freewebsite. Hope you can understand my opinion and endorse my wikipedia page Rajpar. Thanks and regards '@JogiDon' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jogi don (talk • contribs) 07:06, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Jon Jones
Hello, Glen! One question: Is it possible to extend the semi-protection of Jon Jones? It has been protected in the past and every time the protection is removed, vandalism starts to kick in. I am getting pretty tired of being the only user to have to deal with this. I don't see the point of making it a complete open source anytime soon. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 15:22, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes have extended. Thinking it might just need permanent protection moving forward but will address once this one expires. Thanks. Glen 20:08, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

cals.eoa
I am curious as to why you are dubbing my linking activity spam. Many Arkansas-related entries don't have good external links, so I am providing such entries links to the online Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture, a peer-reviewed scholarly resource. This should not count as spam. Cals.eoa (talk) 18:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes fair enough Cals.eoa I apologize. You tripped a spam filter as you posted many links in quick succession. I apologize if I was hasty. Glen 20:01, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- No worries at all. I certainly understand how we tripped the filter adding links like that. Thanks for looking into this. Cals.eoa (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

50.180.208.181
Hi there Glen, I'm curious what happened to 50.180.208.181 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). You blocked them, then reversed the block? They had already been warned numerous times for vandalism. If this edit is what got them blocked, that's still vandalism even if it looks like a personal attack. They are unilaterally deciding that a series has ended without any references [1][2]. This is all seems to be a continuation of the same disruption. Am I missing something? Could you have dropped me a note or something to let me know why you weren't committing to the block? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:02, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi User:Cyphoidbomb, Initially based on the AIV listing I blocked for the personal attack, however they'd already been blocked for that personal attack and I don't see the two edits above as being warranted for a further block at this time. I'll keep an eye on them but I don't see the two edits above as being overtly disruptive. As I say I will keep monitoring them however. Certainly let me know if their behavior continues. Glen 03:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Glen, a lack of constructive thinking is presenting partial truth out of context. Opinionated does not mean false, but also truth that ignores other truth.
Apology
I'm sorry for all the trouble my friend caused you earlier. Fairly though it's the fault of the instigators - NorthBySouthBaranof among others. You're letting a few of obsessive authority types ruin this place for everyone else. Don't let it happen Glen. Save things before it's too late, for the good of everyone. 208.167.254.36 (talk) 07:15, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Jeralean Talley block
Dear User:Glen. I see you've blocked the Jeralean Talley page to all but template editors and administrators for a month. There was only one user (with multiple "Roseturnip" socks) causing the trouble there. Don't you think that's a bit much, both in duration and severity? Why not restrict it to established users (such as autoconfirmed, reviewers) only? A blanket ban on 99.999% of all Wikidom for four weeks seems quite overkill. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 17:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Wikiuser100: you're correct have amended the protection accordingly. Thanks for heads up. Glen 21:36, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
