Gwendolyn Audrey Foster
Hi, Psychonaut. I released the material on Gwendolyn Audrey Foster as you asked, and sent the letter giving permission as you requested, but have heard nothing back -- not even sure if this is the right place to post this! But anyway, if you can let me know what's happening, I would appreciate it. WWD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wdixon (talk •contribs) 21:37, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Wdixon. I'm not involved with the processing of OTRS correspondence, though as with a lot of administrative jobs here it's possible there's a very long backlog. I'd suggest you give it a few more weeks. I'll leave a note at the page's entry at Wikipedia:Copyright problems that you've contacted OTRS. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:12, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Bigg Boss 7
Two users are destroying the Bigg boss 7 page . they are changing the tables. How can it be restrcited. USers are Safee Khawaja and Priya 1188r. TanmayRaoM (talk) 15:47, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- I saw some users were changing the tables, but it wasn't clear to me that they were doing anything wrong. What exactly is the problem? For example, are they inserting incorrect information, or breaking the table layout? In any case I suggest you try contacting the users on their talk pages and/or on the article's talk page to discuss your concerns. Problems can often be resolved very quickly that way. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:14, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- I was not aware of sock puppeting . How can I make sure that the user is genuine and does that mean that the barnstar he gave me was fake. Regarding the table . Some user predicted the whole results of the show, in the sense he predicted the winner and then also changed the colors of the table. I have told them so on their talk pages but they have not responded. TanmayRaoM (talk) 11:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- How do I know that which user is a administrator . Please help me on that too TanmayRaoM (talk) 11:22, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding Imtitanium: The barnstar is real; it's just that the fake account of a known vandal gave it to you. For this reason it's not something I personally would keep on my own user talk page, but of course what you do with it is up to you. There's no easy way for regular users like me and you to tell sockpuppet accounts from genuine ones. However, there are certain behaviours which might arouse your suspicion, such as a new account making similarly worded edits and talk page messages to a blocked account. In such cases you can always approach a more experienced user or administrator for help. Administrators who have recently participated in maintenance of the Bigg Boss 7 page include User:Wizardman and User:Mark Arsten.
- Regarding the users who were disrupting the Bigg Boss 7 page, I see what you mean. For cases of obvious vandalism, you can simply revert their edits, but you should always leave a polite message for them on their talk page explaining why, because it's possible they disrupted the page accidentally. If they repeat the disruptive edits several times, you can report them to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and an administrator will deal with it. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:32, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

You PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to consider AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:47, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Psychonaut. I see Periferigenilerimini is editing again, but the articles that they're interested in are so mysterious to me that I frankly can't tell if they're being disruptive or not. You'd better let me know if you see problems. Bishonen | talk 21:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC).
- I'm afraid that neither can I—I see they removed sourced information from an article, but then again, they were the ones who added it to begin with. I'll keep an eye on them and will let you know if they resume blanking material which wasn't contributed by them, or resume the copyvios. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:32, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
User:AfricaTanz is back
It looks like he removed material from Senegal before going on vacation and then restored it on his November 1 return.[1]. I reverted it (and then forgot I had done so, and reverted what turned out to be my own reversion, so now I've re-deleted it again).
Also, this discussion I initiated on his talk page and my follow-up on my talk page in case he decides to address me there when he feels like it. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message. I've been monitoring the situation and will try to keep an eye on the various "LGBT rights in…" articles, as I hope you will as well, to curb any further disruption. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Cornell Daily Sun reference from Randy Wayne (Biologist)
Dear Psychonaut, I noticed that the person who deleted the reference to the Cornell Daily Sun article as an IP address (66.152.117.129) in the Ithaca area. If that happens to be you, I invite you to come perform the experiment yourself and scrutinize the experimental setup and the results. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BinaryPhoton (talk • contribs) 16:39, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- No thanks; I am not in the least bit interested in physics. Your edit was reverted only because you did not provide a reliable reference in support of your claim. My attendance at your experiment cannot change this. —Psychonaut (talk) 23:11, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Absolute Value Example
Hi Psychonaut, I am more interested to learn from you as to why the example I added is an inappropriate example on Undefined_behavior? I also recommend you take a look at: [2] before you reply back. Thanks Kapil.xerox (talk) 22:28, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
- The code in the Stack Overflow question you linked to has an important difference: it uses an integer type of a known size, whereas the code you posted in undefined behaviour does not. You cannot categorically state that
int b = abs(-2147483647)
overflows because you have no idea how big anint
is. It is perfectly possible for a conforming C implementation to allocate 64 bits (or 48 or 128 or 33 or any other amount sufficient to contain 2147483647) to anint
. However, even if your example had been correct, I do not believe that introducing further examples to that section of the article would help the reader; on the contrary, I think it just clutters it. —Psychonaut (talk) 23:00, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Forgotten history
Hi, Psychonaut; I can't remember what the deal was with User:Noodleki or why I have him watchlisted. It was copyvio related, but I don't remember what my involvement was. Now Noodle is mucking up posttraumatic stress disorder. What was the history? Do you have any PTSD experience? I am up to my eyeballs in other work, and have been watching in dismay what is going on over there, but haven't had time to take it on. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:09, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hello again. Noodleki persistently violated copyright (by copying both from outside and within Wikipedia, without or with insufficient attribution) and was indefinitely blocked for this. After six months he requested and was granted an unblock. Since then he helped identify and repair all his copyvios. I spot checked these and they seemed fine. Since then it looks like the focus of his editing has been to copy material within Wikipedia; this is fine insofar as the copying is attributed and improves the articles. As far as I can tell the attribution part has usually been fine, despite some others' false accusations to the contrary. Whether or not the copied material is a net benefit to the articles isn't something I've checked. (He doesn't tend to edit articles of interest to me.) I'm afraid I don't have the time to get involved in any nontrivial (i.e., copyvio) patrolling at the moment; in my line of work in real life December is a month full of deadlines. All I can suggest is that you or others try discussing any content- or style-related issues with him. Try not to adopt a combative tone—I know that's not a problem for you in particular, but I can see from his talk page that others have been far more brusque with him than warranted by the situations. —Psychonaut (talk) 10:22, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
- Ack, I'm just getting back to this-- thanks for all the helpful info! Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
The article Temporary has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- All entries on this page are inappropriate per WP:PTM, leaving nothing to be disambiguated
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:55, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Shivam Patel
You have put the article Shivam Patel into deletion by saying he is no genius but then look at his works here- https://www.mediafire.com/?k2rk2wd69djco4b
.....There can be no possible person in this earth who can understand and prove such complex mathematics at an age of 14 ...He is a real infant prodigy . He was invited by Dipendra Prasad at TIFR , and is invited to Chennai by mathematicians for his work . He has been collaborating a lot with all the English mathematicians . This guy is no joke he is a real genius you need to take him seriously. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Differentthoughttomaths (talk • contribs) 15:49, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- I never said that Patel wasn't a genius. I nominated the article for deletion because the article lacks sources supporting his claim to notability. You've already provided one newspaper article, which is a start; please provide some additional reliable sources as references to the article, and it will be kept. I was unable to find any myself. —Psychonaut (talk) 16:02, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Shivam Patel is from among some people who aren't able to contact other people because of the condition of Mathematics in India. Here his fields are so complex that only 1 or 2 journals can be made available for publication and many reject due to their qualification or age criteria. Though he is being collaborating with some of the most influenced mathematical genius who have highly appreciated his work https://www.mediafire.com/?z78nn458tfgykhf.When I came across his work it was truly marvellous , that guy has been deprived of facilities due to his current state . This guy really needs international attention , so I have created his wikipedia. As the Indian mathematicians call him he can be the next ramanujan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Differentthoughttomaths (talk • contribs) 16:35, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- Now you are just making things up. Math journals do not have age criteria. Please read our policy on promotion.

What?
Explain how this is "block evasion" or please revert.[3] I'm so confused about why you had this as an edit summary, especially since the edits were all AWB general fixes for formatting. And I'm clearly not "Paulika1995". ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:21, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joyce La Mers. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

reversions
Um... Do you actually, like, speak that way? Like, becuase the sentence actually means the same thing before and after your reversion [4] That is like, unless, you actually want to write like a 12 year old. Toddst1 (talk) 20:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, most people actually do speak and write that way. (See what I mean?) "Actually" is correctly used when it is helpful or necessary to emphasize the reality of statements. For example, it can be used to stress that a claim the author makes is true despite the reader's beliefs, expectations, or anticipated objections. In at least two of your recent edits (namely, the ones I reverted), the "actually" you removed had been entirely helpful. In at least one of them [5], you were perfectly correct to remove it, as there was no doubt that a search had occurred. I think some of your edits were hypercorrection (that is, overly zealous application of a grammatical rule or stylistic preference) and hope that my pointer to the term's usage notes in Wiktionary was helpful in clearing this up. —Psychonaut (talk) 21:49, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

In the meantime if you're aware of any other published biographical information about your great aunt, please leave a note on the article's talk page, or even update the article yourself. Perhaps you or someone in your family might even have a photo of her which could be contributed under a free content licence? —Psychonaut (talk) 21:54, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Few notes about my (Voddan) activities on wiki
Hi, Psychonaut. Thank you for your attention. I respect your opinion and experience, but I need explain the situation.
Recently I put several links to 'Kotlin programming language' on wikipedia, but you undid them all.
I am really sorry if I did something wrong with this links, but I think that they are necessary where I placed them. I added these references because I wanted share the information about the Kotlin's article, which is not ready yet, but will be so (I hope) pretty soon. I mean that this was not an advertising campaign (I have NO relation to the Kotlin team), but just building a 'bridge' from the existing articles to a new one.
Please, think again about this issue, and in case you find this alright, 'undo' your undo. In particular, if the lack of Kotlin (programming language) article was the main problem, you could check the article by yourself.
Thank you. Best regards, Voddan. 11:10, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I'm pleased to know that your edits to infoboxes and to list articles were not made out of a conflict of interest. However, please consider that there are many hundreds of programming languages influenced by Java, C#, Scala, and so on, and we simply can't list all of these influencees in those languages' infoboxes. Singling out Kotlin, a very new and relatively little-used programming language, would be giving it undue weight. With respect to the list articles, they are covered by our guidelines for standalone lists, under which the only languages that should be listed are ones that have their own articles on Wikipedia. Feel free to reinsert your Kotlin entries if and when your articles for creation submission is accepted. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:52, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Psychonaut. Regarding WP:AN3#Muslim/Zionist category tag warring reported by User:Psychonaut (Result: ). You'll probably need to list the diffs that you consider to be bad behavior. I was a bit surprised to see Category:Zionist terrorism being added at Semiramis Hotel bombing, but it turns out that's a real category and the hotel bombing was done by the Irgun. That organization is referred to in its article by some sources as a terrorist organization. So the cat is defensible. You might be better off listing the bad edit summaries which might suggest ethnic POV-pushing. If you can find enough diffs one could imagine a two-month block of the affected IP.
So, oversimplifying a bit, IP #1 looks anti-Jewish, while the IP #3 seems pro-Jewish. #1 has mass-reverted some edits by #3. Some of these IPs have edit filter logs that contain vandalism. This needs more study. EdJohnston (talk) 04:33, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think you've pretty much summed it up. The problem is that I lack the subject-matter expertise to tell which (if any) of the tag removals/additions are inappropriate. Even if it's a good-faith difference of opinion, the repeated reverts without discussion are disruptive. I was hoping that the WP:3RR report would at least get some additional eyes on the dispute; I don't know that anyone warrants a block yet. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:18, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

G8 deletion of Talk:LGBT rights under international law
Hi Psychonaut, I asked Wizardman about deleting an orphaned talk page, after he indicated in an edit summary that it should be G8 exempt. I was told on my talk page that you were the one who requested this exemption. Do you still want the page preserved now that the RfC has gone stale and been closed? --BDD (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- The result of the RFC applies to a large number of articles, not just the now-deleted LGBT rights under international law, and therefore a record of the consensus needs to be preserved (preferebly at Talk:LGBT rights under international law, as there are many links to it from related discussions). Keeping this record is important because the last time the page was deleted, a user used the opportunity to resume editing in violation of the consensus. For further reference please see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive256#Restoring (and then closing) a deleted RFC and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive819#User:AfricaTanz. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't object to the principle of preserving the RfC, but I hate to see an orphaned talk page. How about moving it without a redirect to a subpage of the LGBT project? --BDD (talk) 17:43, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- But there are hundreds of orphaned but useful talk pages. What's so special about this one that requires it to be moved (and thereby made harder to find by breaking about four dozen incoming links)? —Psychonaut (talk) 11:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Review Suggested
You should review the material on the page you reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Stand-alone_lists . Keep in mind it does not say that lists have to be made up only of items with Wikipedia articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wickorama (talk • contribs) 16:09, 2 February 2014
- Thanks for your message. Yes, I'm aware of what the MOS says about lists. It gives a number of common selection criteria, the first of which is generally the only one applicable to large and/or continuously growing sets, such as sets of programming languages or development tools. True, it does not require that every item in the list have a corresponding Wikipedia article. However, it does require that every item be notable enough for a Wikipedia article. The most convenient evidence of notability, at least in the first instance, is the existence of such an article.
- Unfortunately, lists of programming languages and development tools tend to attract a lot of spam and promotional editing, as well as well-meaning but misguided additions of entries which clearly fail the notability requirements. Left unchecked, this sort of editing ends up turning the articles into link farms or web directories, which most assuredly is not in Wikipedia's scope. It's simply not feasible for editors patrolling these articles to deeply investigate every new entry for notability. Thank you for making our job easier by providing a referenced article as requested. —Psychonaut (talk) 17:29, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Please, stop!
Hello, my name is Vlad Mateescu, i used to edit on Wikipedia for a while, but this thing is hilarious, I was blocked, then all my edits are reverted. What are this things? I don't understand. I want only to help, i speak in the name of those artits, now I see you reverted the page Let Me Try, but you didn't delete the photo, then if you think I'm blocked, put the photo in the infobox. I want to say only one thing: WHAT I DO HERE ON WIKIPEDIA, WAS HELP FOR THIS ARTITS, BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DISCONSIDER THIS ARTISTS, AND ROMANIA AS WELL. My option is to stop from editing, and probably other managers will created new pages, or I don't know, the pages will be lost.
Probably some day you and your colleagues you will pay for this actions.

- Hello, Vlad. Your accounts on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons are blocked and your contributions have been deleted or reverted because you are using the accounts to violate copyright. That is, you are contributing text and images without the permission of the original author, or without providing evidence of this permission. Several editors have already explained to you several times what you need to do to supply this evidence: you must follow the procedure outlined at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. So far you have refused to comply with this request. In fact, in many cases you have tried to avoid providing the necessary permission by creating Flickr and Picasa accounts to host images with falsified licence information.
- As long as you continue to contribute copyright-infringing material, and as long as you continue to create new accounts or to use anonymous IP accounts to circumvent your block, editors here will continue to block your accounts and revert or delete your contributions.
- If you can confirm that you have read and understood our Copyright policy, Copyright violation policy, Sock puppetry policy, and our guide on Donating copyrighted materials, and confirm that you agree to abide by them, then you can request to be unblocked. You should do this from your original account (User:Beleiutz). You can do this right away, but ideally you should wait at least six months without engaging in any more sockpuppetry, as this will be taken as evidence that you are no longer disruptive. For further information see Wikipedia:Standard offer.
- If you do not understand the policies, or if you do not agree with them, then your only option is to stop contributing to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. —Psychonaut (talk) 09:12, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Mayonnaise may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- '''Mayonnaise''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|m|eɪ|ə|ˈ|n|eɪ|z}}, {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|eɪ|ə|n|eɪ|z}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|æ|n|eɪ|z}}, {{IPA-fr|
- that oil and liquid egg yolk levels in mayonnaise should be at least 70% and 5% respectively (The Netherlands incorporated this guideline in 1998 into the law "Warenwetbesluit Gereserveerde

He never answered the query about whether he was OK about using his real name (in fairness, he may not have been aware of it). I told him to answer that question or be blocked again. Daniel Case (talk) 04:58, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you
Psychonaut, I have been taking some time this evening to thank the editors who staff one of our most neglected areas, CCI, and do so with expertise and professionalism. I was going to leave you a CCI barnstar like I had for others, however I saw your message and respect that you do not like barnstars. Therefore, I simply must say thank you. Thank you for making Wikipedia a better place, and a place that can serve 116 million people per month with free content. Without editors such as yourself, Wikipedia would not be free. And so, to reiterate, thank you. Go Phightins! 04:09, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Unfortunately I am not able to be as active right now as I have been the past two years, but still try to flag down the odd problem here and there. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
