Block of FreakyLocz14

I have just declined a request for unblock at User talk:FreakyLocz14. You made the block, giving "Block evasion: Blocked for BLP violations as IP address" as the reason. I certainly agree that there are grounds for a block (hence my unblock decline) but I wonder whether it is necessary for the block to be indefinite. Do you have any comment? JamesBWatson (talk) 10:15, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

You might want to edit your unblock -- you say "I see no reason for an immediate block", but you probably mean unblock...I have a pretty low opinion of liars, and as long as he pretends that the IP edits weren't from him, I wouldn't unblock. However, something I hadn't noticed at the time -- this is the same person who had been putting crap like this on Misplaced Pages, under various IPs; take a look at the history of Harry Reid, around May 15-16-17, and you'll repeated attempts to get BLP violations into the article by a number of different IPs, who'd I venture is the same guy. So perhaps I shouldn't have made the block, since I'd been somewhat "involved", though at the time I made the block, I wasn't looking at anything other than the fact that the IP was given an anon-only block for BLP violations on June 22, and the named account continued the same behavior, less than ten minutes after that block. If I'd looked a bit further back I'd likely have asked another admin to perform the block. --jpgordon 14:51, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

1. Block → Unblock  Done Thanks for pointing it out.
2. Thanks also for pointing me at the IP editing in May. There's a good chance it's the same person, though I would not say it's certain. It also alerted me to what to look for in the editor's history, so that I realised there were serious BLP issues, which I hadn't noticed before. (It can be hard to know where to look when an editor hides their controversial edits among insignificant changes to articles such as New Boyz.) I no longer think there is any case for unblocking. I have also semiprotected United States Senate election in Nevada, 2010, as IP editwarring has continued to re-add the questionable material since you blocked FreakyLocz14. Thanks again for your help. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

By the way, the college he's editing from does not have a law school, so he's not being honest about that either... --jpgordon 13:17, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't surprise me. I never believed the claim, actually: his editing never looked as if it was done by someone with legal training. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Or even with a decent secondary education, actually. --jpgordon 16:10, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:38, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

User_talk:Paglakahinka

You have just declined an unblock request at User_talk:Paglakahinka. Might it not now make sense to block talk page access? There have been numerous requests and the message appears not to be sinking in. - Sitush (talk) 15:09, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll do that if it edits again. --jpgordon 15:23, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Since you're around..

Jpg, could you take a look at this section at ANI. There are two relevant SPIs: this and that; since then I've had to protect TP a couple of times and now I see this. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 15:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Not sure what you need here. I've blocked the Cinammon username (someone said they'd done so on ANI but hadn't); it was directly linkable to Shannon1488, which I've now indeffed. Anything else I can do? --jpgordon 15:22, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Ah yes, that was what I was wondering. The problem was which of the two sock-farms to link it to, I figured it belonged to one of the two! thanks. —SpacemanSpiff 15:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/ColumbiaAlumnus

Hey. I left a question at the SPI case for you (or another CU) asking what the relationship between the two found groups is. If you have a minute, could you swing by? Thanks. — HelloAnnyong 02:41, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Peter Deunov external links

Hi Josh, I noticed that recently you removed nearly all the external links on Peter Deunov. While I definitely agree it was a linkfarm, I think each link should be considered based on the value it adds to the article. After carefully looking through all the links and considering their value-add, I have put back 4 out of the 12 deleted. They represent different perspectives and are useful resources for anyone interested in Peter Deunov's legacy. I hope you'll agree with my choices. I would suggest new links to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Quartz (talk) 03:34, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

OK! --jpgordon 06:28, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Unprotection

I have asked Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection for the unprotection of User:Bowei Huang and User talk:Bowei Huang and they won't unprotect it. So can you please simply unprotect it for me?

I want everything to return back to before and normal as much as possible. I want to undo the changes as much as possible. I made a mistake and I want to fix it as much as possible. Please? So please? I beg you.

Can you pleasejust deal with my desires just once? Please?
