Henricus

Please note that I reverted your edit. Currently, Henricus is on the NRHP list for Henrico county but not for Chesterfield county. I have no knowledge of the subject, but we should be consistent. If it is in Chesterfield county, it should also be on the Chesterfield county NRHP list.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:35, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

I see that you reverted me again. Then please correct the lists.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:37, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

There's no doubt about it, Henricus is still in Chesterfield County, and any sources saying it is in Henrico County are erroneous. Or perhaps dated older than 1749. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 20:38, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited West Virginia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blue Ridge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

"according to these self-declared authorities"

You know that was unacceptable as was the IP's earlier edit that you endorsed. I'm sure you know about WP:POINT. Dougweller (talk) 16:16, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Easy does it

Hi, TE. I'd regret seeing you get blocked over something so unimportant. Check out WP:BLANKING and you'll see what I mean. Regards Tiderolls 22:54, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I should have payed closer attention, I thought he had blanked out his block notification yet again. I doubt anyone wants to block me for reverting that, though. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 01:21, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

discussion alert

Hi Til, Knowing your interest in dealing with bias on WP, I thought you might like to know about a discussion currently going on at Talk:Humiliation of Christ, where the issue revolves around how widely a doctrine is held within the "Protestant" tradition. The claim is that it encompasses all of Protestantism, while the question is asked if or how far it goes beyond just Calvinism, the possible bias then being whether or not the claim is overreaching. I for one would like to see a wider engagement among interested editors. If you'd like to watch or participate, I would welcome it. Thanks, Evenssteven (talk) 17:39, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers

Hi there. Take a look at my two sets of arguments - the first holistic and subjective, and the second (post scriptum) more rationalist and objective. At Misplaced Pages, most editors have formed a strong consensus that published sources, such as books and newspapers, matter more than the Old Wisdom, which I think is the whole point of the Grandmother's movement. However, we must work with what we have. Good luck! Bearian (talk) 17:20, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Socking

You could do me a favor. I feel like I'm chasing my tail with all the blocks I'm handing out. And I'm recovering today from being ill yesterday, so I'm not at my best, whatever that is. Could you give me the lowest and highest IP addresses in each range so I can calculate what would happen if the two ranges were blocked? Of course, they may then edit outside the ranges, but at least it would be a start. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Sure, and I really appreciate someone with tools to fight this disruption. I haven't seen things this exhausting for quite a while, this one person in Bosnia has taken up most of my editing day, plus they think I am Kurdish! Several of the IP addresses are at the SPI page Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Shaushka and I will try to add the newer ones to that page. Cheers, Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 21:07, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Lullubi

How does Lullubi fits under category History of Azerbaijan? --HistorNE (talk) 18:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Reverting sockpuppet edits

Please note that until an SPI confirms that HistorNE is User:Shuashka, you should not be removing his contributions to article talk pages. Furthermore, you should be reverting his article edits only if they are themselves incorrect. We are allowed to revert indefinitely blocked editors simply because they are made by said editor, but we have to be very certain. Looking at their histories, HistorNE and Shuashka may well be different people--they share a certain common set of interests, but the editing style does not appear to be identical. I guess what I'm saying is that you have to be careful when reverting someone as a sockpuppet, unless the connection is absolutely crystal clear. On the SPI, please provide specific diffs from Shuashka and diffs from the IPs/HistorNE that show that they are the same person; that's the fastest way to end this if it is, in fact true. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:29, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

HistorNE has already admitted that he is the IP-hopping address in the SPI case that was blocked for 48 hours, whose behavior is problematic enough standing alone. I just added some diffs a couple minutes ago as evidence he is the same as Shaushka. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 22:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Sure, he admitted to being the range of IPs, but so far, no one has confirmed/agreed that all of that links back to Shaushka. The problem is that if it's not the same person, and you keep reverting the edits, then the person has no way to discuss the matter. At this point, both of you need to discuss on Talk: Lullubi about what cats should and shouldn't be there (though the burden is on HistorNE to show that a change is beneficial). Qwyrxian (talk) 23:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I reverted him on Lullubi because I have been following the edit wars by the same users as they proceed from each page to the next in turn as it gets locked down, and I have little doubt it is an indef-blocked user - not because I disagree with the cats and other insignificant changes he is making. But now I see that it is not safe to go past 3RR until somebody gets around to confirming that yes, this is a sock puppet. Gotta love it. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 23:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Young Ones (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Flat (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

New SPI

I've opened a new SPI at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Imorthodox23 regarding a user you've previously tagged. If you have any other evidence, it may be useful. Regards, CMD (talk) 19:35, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
