Hi!
I just wanted to let you know, I'm not trying to be a dick on the RfP page; I'm just trying to make my point :) .... I don't mean to make it sound confrontational.
- No harm taken :) I replied. You make a good point; but, my reading of the "Protection Policy" leads me to the conclusion that this page does not meet the "significant" requirement for semi-protection. As I see it, the damage caused by the possibility (however remote) of keeping a potential new editor from editing the page outweighs the benefits of semi-protection. Again, "significant" is subjective, and to another admin the vandalism may be significant enough to warrant protection. Lazulilasher (talk) 21:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
RE: Semi-protection
Thank you for Semi-protecting my user page. I think it’s a good idea to keep it always protected, do to the fact I'm a Vandal Fighter.
Please let me know if you need help with anything. I will try to help you out.--David - (Wikipedia Vandal Fighter). 21:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for coming into action so quickly. All the best, Cavila (talk) 20:58, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Ben Beever
Hi there, on the 5 of September you deleted the article about Ben Beever claiming the person is not noticeable enough. I've seen this person perform on several occasions for multinational events. I also know at one point, for a number of years, that he held the world record for highest number of balls juggled. I imagine that you are not a juggler and are therefore unaware of his notoriety in the juggling community, so I googled his name. In the first 100 results I spoted only 10 that did not refer to the person in the article of which only 3 where his own webpages. Any chance we can have the article back? I think the bridge people would be interested in his bridge work too, although I'm not sure if he is notable enough on the bridge scene. Thanks El grimley (talk) 22:25, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello, I will get back to you with a more detailed response in a few days (I'm busy IRL). In the meantime, you might be correct. There is no specific guideline, with which I am aware, that deals specifically with notability for jugglers. Perhaps being the world record holder makes him notable. Do you have sufficient WP:RS to indicate his notability? If what you say is correct, then I'd be inclined to undelete the page, and, perhaps send it to AfD or your userpace for correction. Lazulilasher (talk) 01:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for the huge delay. I put the article in your userspace for edits, and left a note on your talk page regarding various policies you might find helpful. Lazulilasher (talk) 00:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Scope
I have a question about the scope of the Paris project: Does it only cover the Paris city limits, or does it cover surrounding communes? See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_France/Paris#Scope WhisperToMe (talk) 21:03, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

SPI
Are you still going to continue to clerk over there? If not, I can put you on the inactive list, or if desired, I can remove you :( If you're planning to come back on and do some clerking, I can keep training you as Tiptoety is no longer clerking. Let me know what you want to do. Regards, MuZemike 18:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hey there, thanks for the note. Yes, I'd like to 'continue' clerking. The reason I have not been active is that I do not know what to do. I entered a period of Wiki-hibernation quite immediately after becoming a clerk-trainee, back in January (my Wiki-participation has always been variously erratic...I take breaks that are more due to periods of IRL business, rather than any on-wiki problems). I haven't made any edits to SPI because I'm afraid that I'll do something absolutely horribly wrong, break the bot, and cause more work for everyone :) So, the short answer is an unqualified "Yes", I would like to continue the training program and would be honored to have you as my trainor. Regards, Lazulilasher (talk) 18:33, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- Great! Do you use IRC at all, or do you stay on-wiki? MuZemike 18:38, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

SPI clerking template stuff
Hey there. I saw that you added this to Jemesouviens32's userpage. While technically correct (or it would have been with {{sockpuppeteer|timeblocked|checked=yes|spipage=Jemesouviens32}}), I usually find that such a thing is unnecessary, for the users will want to remove the tags after they are unblocked. So in the cases where the master is not indefinitely blocked, I usually leave the userpage alone. I hope that makes sense; feel free to contact me if you don't. NW (Talk) 23:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ya, I reverted myself as soon as I realized that... :) It should be removed now. Lazulilasher (talk) 23:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Closed SPI cases awaiting archival
There are a bunch of SPI cases right now that could use archival. Remember to make sure, for each case pending close, all blocked socks are properly tagged (with one of the {{sockpuppet}} templates, either suspected or confirmed), that the appropriate sock categories are created via the {{sockpuppet category}} template, and that all the accounts have been addressed. If it looks good, then go ahead and archive. If you have any other questions, then let me know. MuZemike 16:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I did a few of them. I left Case #re: 63.164.47.2 (talk · contribs) because I'm not sure if it is titled correctly (should it be named after the IP, or the account?) Also, I must have done SophieQ incorrectly because it is not properly archiving. Let me know about my screw ups :) Lazulilasher (talk) 19:23, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Right. I haven't taught you how to redirect SPI cases, yet, so don't worry about that for right now. Remember to create those sockpuppet categories; you forgot one in that SophieQ SPI case (which did archive correctly, FYI). Also, if you see a {{sockpuppet}} template on a user talk page, go ahead and remove it as it just adds another unnecessary entry to that sock category (whereas the userpage would already be on there). Otherwise, good work, so far. MuZemike 01:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

UnBlocking request for IP Addresses of BOLT Browser
Hi,
I am Lokesh Joshi and work for Bitstream Inc. (http://boltbrowser.com). We have a very popular mobile browser called BOLT Browser which works on server client architecture. This has minimal load is on the client (mobile phone), and user can experience the Desktop Like browsing experience. For more information please see http://boltbrowser.com.
Recently many of our users reported the following error from Wikipedia while editing the content:
"174.132.56.156 has been disabled by the following reason(s): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or xombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia."
I request you please consider BOLT as legitimate cloud computing based mobile browser. This is not at all an open proxy and users will have to use BOLT client to work through the BOLT servers. More over the originating IP of the handset is available in the headers, so the individual user can be tracked in abuse cases.
Please let me know the steps we can do for the same. I can send the list of the IPs owned by BOLT Browser.
Regards
Lokesh —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lokeshjoshi (talk • contribs) 10:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- That IP (174.132.56.156) was unblocked earlier today by Zzuuzz (talk · contribs); editing should be unrestricted. Hope this helps. Lazulilasher (talk) 12:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 174 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral votes. Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 10:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC) |
Redirecting SPI cases
Let me briefly go over how to redirect SPI cases. As you know, we get users who create SPI cases under the wrong sockmaster (i.e. a person would file an SPI case on a sock and not under the person behind all the socks, which makes it more difficult for people as well as SPCUclerkbot to track). The clerk instructions are outdated because of the additional functionalities that SPCUclerkbot now has (that is, we no longer do pagemoves). In a nutshell, here's how to redirect SPI cases:
- Edit the SPI case's page. At the top of the page, you'll see the following: {{SPIarchive notice|WRONGSOCK}}<br />{{SPIpriorcases}}. Change WRONGSOCK to the correct sockmaster's username, and list the WRONGSOCK account under the list of suspected socks using the {{checkuser}} or {{checkip}} templates.
- Copy the entire case that is in the edit box. That is, use Ctrl+A to copy all the content in the SPI case's edit box, and then use Ctrl+C to copy. This will shortly be pasted into a new SPI case created under the correct sockmaster.
- After you have everything copied, delete everything below the line that contains the {{SPIarchive notice}}, and save the page, including an edit summary that says that you are redirecting the SPI case because it was submitted under the incorrect sockmaster. You should now see something like this for example: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/75.89.235.174.
- Click the link that proceeds Future cases should be placed under.... Don't worry if it's a redlink; if that's the case, then we'll be creating a new page.
- Edit that page we just clicked. If it exists, replace everything that is currently there with the content that was copied in step 2; if it's a redlink, then just simply paste what was copied in step 2. Save the page, including an edit summary that says that the SPI case was recreated under the correct sockmaster's name.
For an example, here's what I did with a user who incorrectly filed a case in which User:TheBeatles420 is the sockmaster. A user created an SPI case under the IP 75.89.235.174 (see [1]). Using the steps above, I redirect the case to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TheBeatles420, as shown [2]. I then successfully recreate the SPI case [3], in which I proceed from there.
If you have any questions about how to redirect SPI cases, let me or another clerk know. I may not be on IRC as often anymore as my new ISP is apparently blocking nearly every port that allows me to connect. MuZemike 20:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject France
Hi Lazulilasher -- I just joined WikiProject France. I am interested in French drama, particularly the work of Jean Giraudoux. It seems to me that there is not a lot of recent activity on French culture articles. For example, even an important work like Sartre's No Exit has a very minimal article with few references or sources. I am particularly disappointed that there seems to have never been any serious work on Jean Giraudoux's plays. I started out by pretty much single-handedly writing an article (such as it is) on Giraudoux's play Ondine. I have found a couple people who do occasional contributions. Can you give me any advice on drumming up interest in French drama? See my personal page Project on 20th century French drama for my rough ideas on the whole subject.
By the way, how did you get the words, "Transportation, Alsace, French landmarks" under Interests on the page Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members? I would like to add the words, "20th century French drama" to my interests.
I wish you luck in your efforts to revive Wikiproject France. Let me know if there is something I can do to help. I am good at organization. Thank you for your time. --Foobarnix (talk) 02:34, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- I figured out how to add my interests on the member page--non-obvious. By the way, I have a lot of photos of the Louvre and also of Versailles. (I am not clear on whether a photo one takes of a work of art is protected by copyright.) --Foobarnix (talk) 23:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Lafayette
You seem to have contributed significantly to the article on Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette. However, some references refer to books that are not explained in the article.

NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.
A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.
This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

Hi!
I just wanted to let you know, I'm not trying to be a dick on the RfP page; I'm just trying to make my point :) .... I don't mean to make it sound confrontational.
- No harm taken :) I replied. You make a good point; but, my reading of the "Protection Policy" leads me to the conclusion that this page does not meet the "significant" requirement for semi-protection. As I see it, the damage caused by the possibility (however remote) of keeping a potential new editor from editing the page outweighs the benefits of semi-protection. Again, "significant" is subjective, and to another admin the vandalism may be significant enough to warrant protection. Lazulilasher (talk) 21:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
RE: Semi-protection
Thank you for Semi-protecting my user page. I think it’s a good idea to keep it always protected, do to the fact I'm a Vandal Fighter.
Please let me know if you need help with anything. I will try to help you out.--David - (Wikipedia Vandal Fighter). 21:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Ben Beever
Hi there, on the 5 of September you deleted the article about Ben Beever claiming the person is not noticeable enough. I've seen this person perform on several occasions for multinational events. I also know at one point, for a number of years, that he held the world record for highest number of balls juggled. I imagine that you are not a juggler and are therefore unaware of his notoriety in the juggling community, so I googled his name. In the first 100 results I spoted only 10 that did not refer to the person in the article of which only 3 where his own webpages. Any chance we can have the article back? I think the bridge people would be interested in his bridge work too, although I'm not sure if he is notable enough on the bridge scene. Thanks El grimley (talk) 22:25, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello, I will get back to you with a more detailed response in a few days (I'm busy IRL). In the meantime, you might be correct. There is no specific guideline, with which I am aware, that deals specifically with notability for jugglers. Perhaps being the world record holder makes him notable. Do you have sufficient WP:RS to indicate his notability? If what you say is correct, then I'd be inclined to undelete the page, and, perhaps send it to AfD or your userpace for correction. Lazulilasher (talk) 01:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for the huge delay. I put the article in your userspace for edits, and left a note on your talk page regarding various policies you might find helpful. Lazulilasher (talk) 00:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

SPI
Are you still going to continue to clerk over there? If not, I can put you on the inactive list, or if desired, I can remove you :( If you're planning to come back on and do some clerking, I can keep training you as Tiptoety is no longer clerking. Let me know what you want to do. Regards, MuZemike 18:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hey there, thanks for the note. Yes, I'd like to 'continue' clerking. The reason I have not been active is that I do not know what to do. I entered a period of Wiki-hibernation quite immediately after becoming a clerk-trainee, back in January (my Wiki-participation has always been variously erratic...I take breaks that are more due to periods of IRL business, rather than any on-wiki problems). I haven't made any edits to SPI because I'm afraid that I'll do something absolutely horribly wrong, break the bot, and cause more work for everyone :) So, the short answer is an unqualified "Yes", I would like to continue the training program and would be honored to have you as my trainor.

WINNINGS? The first prize winning team members will get Eye-Fi Share cards, which automatically upload photos from your camera to your computer and to sites like Flickr. And there will also be cool prizes for other top scorers.
WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, October 10th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.
WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!
REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's fantastic new event space nestled between Chinatown and SoHo. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

SPI clerking template stuff
Hey there. I saw that you added this to Jemesouviens32's userpage. While technically correct (or it would have been with {{sockpuppeteer|timeblocked|checked=yes|spipage=Jemesouviens32}}), I usually find that such a thing is unnecessary, for the users will want to remove the tags after they are unblocked. So in the cases where the master is not indefinitely blocked, I usually leave the userpage alone. I hope that makes sense; feel free to contact me if you don't. NW (Talk) 23:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ya, I reverted myself as soon as I realized that... :) It should be removed now. Lazulilasher (talk) 23:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Closed SPI cases awaiting archival
There are a bunch of SPI cases right now that could use archival. Remember to make sure, for each case pending close, all blocked socks are properly tagged (with one of the {{sockpuppet}} templates, either suspected or confirmed), that the appropriate sock categories are created via the {{sockpuppet category}} template, and that all the accounts have been addressed. If it looks good, then go ahead and archive. If you have any other questions, then let me know. MuZemike 16:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I did a few of them. I left Case #re: 63.164.47.2 (talk · contribs) because I'm not sure if it is titled correctly (should it be named after the IP, or the account?) Also, I must have done SophieQ incorrectly because it is not properly archiving. Let me know about my screw ups :) Lazulilasher (talk) 19:23, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Right. I haven't taught you how to redirect SPI cases, yet, so don't worry about that for right now. Remember to create those sockpuppet categories; you forgot one in that SophieQ SPI case (which did archive correctly, FYI). Also, if you see a {{sockpuppet}} template on a user talk page, go ahead and remove it as it just adds another unnecessary entry to that sock category (whereas the userpage would already be on there). Otherwise, good work, so far. MuZemike 01:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

UnBlocking request for IP Addresses of BOLT Browser
Hi,
I am Lokesh Joshi and work for Bitstream Inc. (http://boltbrowser.com). We have a very popular mobile browser called BOLT Browser which works on server client architecture. This has minimal load is on the client (mobile phone), and user can experience the Desktop Like browsing experience. For more information please see http://boltbrowser.com.
Recently many of our users reported the following error from Wikipedia while editing the content:
"174.132.56.156 has been disabled by the following reason(s): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or xombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia."
I request you please consider BOLT as legitimate cloud computing based mobile browser. This is not at all an open proxy and users will have to use BOLT client to work through the BOLT servers. More over the originating IP of the handset is available in the headers, so the individual user can be tracked in abuse cases.
Please let me know the steps we can do for the same. I can send the list of the IPs owned by BOLT Browser.
Regards
Lokesh —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lokeshjoshi (talk • contribs) 10:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- That IP (174.132.56.156) was unblocked earlier today by Zzuuzz (talk · contribs); editing should be unrestricted. Hope this helps. Lazulilasher (talk) 12:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 174 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral votes. Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 10:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC) |
Redirecting SPI cases
Let me briefly go over how to redirect SPI cases. As you know, we get users who create SPI cases under the wrong sockmaster (i.e. a person would file an SPI case on a sock and not under the person behind all the socks, which makes it more difficult for people as well as SPCUclerkbot to track). The clerk instructions are outdated because of the additional functionalities that SPCUclerkbot now has (that is, we no longer do pagemoves). In a nutshell, here's how to redirect SPI cases:
- Edit the SPI case's page. At the top of the page, you'll see the following: {{SPIarchive notice|WRONGSOCK}}<br />{{SPIpriorcases}}. Change WRONGSOCK to the correct sockmaster's username, and list the WRONGSOCK account under the list of suspected socks using the {{checkuser}} or {{checkip}} templates.
- Copy the entire case that is in the edit box. That is, use Ctrl+A to copy all the content in the SPI case's edit box, and then use Ctrl+C to copy. This will shortly be pasted into a new SPI case created under the correct sockmaster.
- After you have everything copied, delete everything below the line that contains the {{SPIarchive notice}}, and save the page, including an edit summary that says that you are redirecting the SPI case because it was submitted under the incorrect sockmaster. You should now see something like this for example: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/75.89.235.174.
- Click the link that proceeds Future cases should be placed under.... Don't worry if it's a redlink; if that's the case, then we'll be creating a new page.
- Edit that page we just clicked. If it exists, replace everything that is currently there with the content that was copied in step 2; if it's a redlink, then just simply paste what was copied in step 2. Save the page, including an edit summary that says that the SPI case was recreated under the correct sockmaster's name.
For an example, here's what I did with a user who incorrectly filed a case in which User:TheBeatles420 is the sockmaster. A user created an SPI case under the IP 75.89.235.174 (see [4]). Using the steps above, I redirect the case to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TheBeatles420, as shown [5]. I then successfully recreate the SPI case [6], in which I proceed from there.
If you have any questions about how to redirect SPI cases, let me or another clerk know. I may not be on IRC as often anymore as my new ISP is apparently blocking nearly every port that allows me to connect. MuZemike 20:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject France
Hi Lazulilasher -- I just joined WikiProject France. I am interested in French drama, particularly the work of Jean Giraudoux. It seems to me that there is not a lot of recent activity on French culture articles. For example, even an important work like Sartre's No Exit has a very minimal article with few references or sources. I am particularly disappointed that there seems to have never been any serious work on Jean Giraudoux's plays. I started out by pretty much single-handedly writing an article (such as it is) on Giraudoux's play Ondine. I have found a couple people who do occasional contributions. Can you give me any advice on drumming up interest in French drama? See my personal page Project on 20th century French drama for my rough ideas on the whole subject.
By the way, how did you get the words, "Transportation, Alsace, French landmarks" under Interests on the page Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members? I would like to add the words, "20th century French drama" to my interests.
I wish you luck in your efforts to revive Wikiproject France. Let me know if there is something I can do to help. I am good at organization. Thank you for your time. --Foobarnix (talk) 02:34, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- I figured out how to add my interests on the member page--non-obvious. By the way, I have a lot of photos of the Louvre and also of Versailles. (I am not clear on whether a photo one takes of a work of art is protected by copyright.) --Foobarnix (talk) 23:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

Lafayette
You seem to have contributed significantly to the article on Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette. However, some references refer to books that are not explained in the article. I now added "Hirschfeld" and "Broadwell", please check that the editions don't differ (if they were by you). Moreover, could you supply the other remaining ones, including "Kennedy" and "Hampson" (if by you)? --Arrala (talk) 19:40, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.
A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.
This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!
