:Yes, please do. Each of those examples was a plea by me for other editors (including Goethean) to be civil and stop making false statements about me. Please look at the posts I was responding to, including Goethean calling me a troll, vandal, etc along with the rude and obnoxious falsehoods. They violate several Misplaced Pages policies not only for incivility, but for insisting on discussing the person instead of content. This tactic has been used by Goethean (and a couple of others) to overwhelm and derail legitimate discussion about article content for months.

Welcome to my talk page! I tend to reply to messages directly on here, so I suggest watching my page if you're looking for a reply. I watch user talk pages I comment on so we can keep conversations organized. I reserve the right to modify excessive signatures left here.

Hello

Hello either way Only! I am interested in programming a bot on Wikia. How exactly could I do that? --Spidey665, 23:04, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

No clue. This is Misplaced Pages, by the way, not Wikia. For Wikia questions, go somewhere that isn't Misplaced Pages. either way (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

You need to fix your sig mate, you're still linking to your old pages--Jac16888 00:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your careful explanation when I mixed up 3rr violation and vandalism during the ODB++ edit dispute that I allowed myself to get sucked into. Woz2 (talk) 17:16, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

CSD nomination

Hi, is there anywhere where I can request speedy deletion? I have put a CSD tag on this page and request deletion for it. Thank you. Spidey665 23:44, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!!!

I just wanted to personally thank you for defending me here. I felt quite threatened by his/her comments. I have another favor: Could you ban the user indefinitely, please? Thank you so much! As I see you already blocked him/her for a week previously, I won't pester you for more. However, if the situation and the user's edits call for one, then it is completely up to you if you want to block them or not. 71.146.8.5 (talk) 00:17, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Still...although Spidey did something wrong, do you understand what you did wrong? --Bryce Wilson | talk 01:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
And Spidey was blocked for a week previously for socializing on my talk page, which has nothing to do with what happened today. --Bryce Wilson | talk 01:40, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
==============

Hi Only, Thank you for the unblock. I will be collaborative and careful now. I will also go thru the lessons available. Ravishyam Bangalore (talk) 03:20, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry, Only. --Spidey665 00:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Don't apologize...just go read some policies and figure out what you're doing here. only (talk) 00:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice, though. Spidey665 00:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Spidey665, if you're still here, see my comment at User talk:71.146.8.5#Sorry. 71.146.8.5 (talk) 00:31, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Block of 216.56.4.46

216.56.4.46 (talk · contribs) is Wiscnet: Wisconsin's Research and Education Network - I've added the educational template, but I'm wondering if a week's block will be enough to prevent more vandalism as it is a school. My feeling is no. Dougweller (talk) 14:24, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Well the IP's edits seem to be more recent...if it was a little more wide-spread/active over a longer period of time, I'd consider a long block right now...but I have no prejudice to you extending it if you feel fit. only (talk) 16:44, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion

I'm sorry, I didn't explain that User talk:75.6.237.63 and User talk:71.146.8.5 are the same user. Can I replace my comment now? 75.6.237.63 (talk) 01:24, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes. It wasn't clear when you removed it that you're the same...it just appeared to be a random IP coming in and removing it. only (talk) 01:28, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you so much. Again, I'm sincerely sorry for the major (but common) confusion. 75.6.237.63 (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
I have removed your comment at his talk page, though, as it comes across as "grave dancing" on a blocked user. only (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
What's “grave dancing”? And yes, I did see that. 75.6.237.63 (talk) 01:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Grave dancing=taunting/baiting a blocked user. Your comment, especially the way you placed a talkback and struck it in the same edit, plus the header with its strikeout can be seen as that so it's best to just leave it removed. only (talk) 01:35, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Does it have anything to do with the Misplaced Pages policy Do Not Insult the Vandals? 71.146.8.5 (talk) 03:55, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar

2011 Pan American Games

Putting false results, removing a part of a template making it appear as a red link isn't considered vandalism? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 22:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't see how this edit is a "false result" considering it was an update to the chart that you eventually restored yourself. Some of hte other things look to be done in error, but it does appear he/she is acting in good faith. only (talk) 22:14, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Just sayin'...

This same message is on my talk as well.


Since I can not edit anymore, I am going to have to get an admin to do it for me. SInce I am also on the Acepedia, (Ace Combat wiki), I couldn't help but look at the Ace Combat:Assault Horizon page. You need Spooky 01 in the Task Force 108 Section. Janice Rehl flies an AC-130U callsigned Spooky 01. OK, bye. Solowing106 (talk) 04:06, 4 June 2012 (UTC) You know what, I looked at it again, and I found a whole slew of mistakes. Any chance you could turn me loose just so I can edit the Assault Horizon page, and then block me again?

I started a thread here regarding an editor you blocked. Not being familiar with the situation, I thought I'd ask you for your thoughts. Thank you. — Ched :  ?  13:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

recent threat

you have threatened to block me for actions which i did not take (something about Warriors article covers). i appreciate the intent of your actions, but as i understand it, IP addresses can change or be shared. is there some way to confirm who the culprit is before making threats to them?

i'm barely computer-literate & i don't know anything about the warriors articles to which you refer. i know nothing about the codes required for editing text on this site, & in fact, i suppose that there is a very good chance that even this message will be incorrectly created to get to the intended person.

thanks for your time (& now, because i read "Sign your posts on talk pages: 68.255.105.249 (talk) 19:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)", I will sign off as:),

User talk:58.6.141.54

I'm going to ask you politely if you will not deal with vandals then please avoid ARV. I don;t know for how long you have been an admin or how familiar you are with vandal dealing so please use your tools elsewhere on Misplaced Pages. Thanks. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:34, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

While I appreciate the feedback, I've been an administrator since before you even had an account here and will continue to deal with vandalism related issues. You reported a user who had only one warning (a level one) and had not edited since then. At the time, my decline was more than proper based on our procedures here. I see now that the user was committing similar edits under another IP address. If you had linked that in your original report, I would have been able to investigate and take action earlier. I had no clue that this was a returning vandal, so I had nothing to go on other than the three edits that existed on this account when you first reported it. only (talk) 16:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Can you block this user?

Hi, I would like you to block ProsperwellFinancial for having a promotional username and creating promotional pages. Finealt (talk) 16:43, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, forgot to come back and say I blocked the user and deleted their pages. Thanks for the heads up, only (talk) 17:53, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Why?

Why was the discussion closed? Nothing was resolved, nor their conduct further looked upon, especially after being told not to talk about me personally on Misplaced Pages? Is this how Misplaced Pages is now run? To not hold up justice? livelikemusic 19:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure what "justice" you're seeking, but no personal attacks took place. He was close, but never actually committed any. The discussion was dissolving into a rehashing of the commentary about the dispute, not about anything that administrators needed to take action on. The most appropriate venue for that is DRN, the talk page of WP:SOAPS or the article talk page. Nothing is needed administratively at this time. only (talk) 20:03, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Well, I feel it is. This user also attempts to personally attack me and has in the past. Nothing was resolved and this user refuses to ever discuss civilly unless around an Administrator or never at all. How do you suppose we go into fixing this? Because I've tried on the soaps page (they commented once and never again), and the talk page didn't go anywhere, that's why it went to the soap project. I feel personally attacked by this user once again. livelikemusic: 20:18, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel attacked, but looking at it again, I do not believe he has actually committed any attacks. Again, your best bet for resolution of the year/date dispute is to take this to WP:DRN. only (talk) 20:21, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
all he is doing is causing trouble for me, all he does is complain, doesn't do much That to me is a personal, libelous attack. I don't know how you don't see this. I keep feeling like Admins here defend those who shouldn't be defended, after repeatedly going against what they've been told not to. They've done it before this instance. Doesn't that matter any? Or is that over-looked too? They were warned not to speak of me or on my talk page, they've done so repeatedly. Shouldn't that be reason for some kind of administrative action? I'm just trying to find out what is allowed to be passed by Admins and what isn't? livelikemusic 20:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
If he has been warned by admins in the past, then go to those admins and say "I think he's committing those issues again, what do you think?" I'm not taking any further action on what's already occurred here, so your best bet is to turn to those admins or find someone else who's active on Misplaced Pages:List_of_administrators/Active. only (talk) 20:31, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
I did, but they're not thoroughly active anymore. I want you to know I'm very disappointed, once again, in the administrative powers here at Misplaced Pages. Once again, you've failed to meet expectations and standards I feel you guys should be held to. Best wishes and happy new year. livelikemusic 20:35, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to hear that, but it is what it is. only (talk) 20:35, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
I think if someone feels they're the victim of a personal attack, you can't really tell them that they're not, and action against said attack should be taken accordingly. –anemoneprojectors00:14, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

You're more than welcome to look into it further, AnemoneProjectors, and take action if you see fit. I certainly won't object to you taking any action you see fit, only (talk) 00:16, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Just a quick thank you for helping me resolve the situation regarding my block. Wyatt150 (talk) 00:20, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. I hope you're able to stick to the guidelines and become a productive user! only (talk) 00:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

World number 1 male tennis player rankings

Hi, you blocked the World number 1 male tennis player rankings article per Fyunck(click)'s request but just before it went into effect an edit sneaked in that should be reverted to get to the last known good version by Fyunck(click). This leaves the 2013 spot blank (neutral) per his request. Can you revert this diff and redo the block? Thx.--Wolbo (talk) 01:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I've undone the edit by the IP and put it blank. only (talk) 02:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Thx!--Wolbo (talk) 09:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Just for your Info

Hi Only, Thanks for taking the quick action on the two different User:Ι ΑΜ ΝΟ ΤΑΧ ΒΟΥ accounts. In the meantime I had opened a thread at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:I AM NO TAX BOY (same editor with two same username accounts) in response to the situation. I just thought to let you know about this :) Regards. ~TheGeneralUser (talk) 21:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't really have anything to add...it looks like Hitro has it figured out: that one of the usernames was spoofed by using non-English/Latin characters. only (talk) 21:48, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Regarding I AM NO TAX BOY

Hi, I was a bit disturbed on what I AM NO TAX BOY said on his talk page after you blocked him with this edit. He said "Yeah you blocked me once but I still managed to edit and vandalise afterwards didn't I??!!" From this, I think that he might be a sockpuppet. If you think my suspicions might be valid, can you try to open an investigation? If it's too much work or you think I'm a nutter, you don't have to. Thanks! TheTriple M 22:07, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

See the thread/ANI thread directly above this one. There were two accounts with similar names. only (talk) 22:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Ryk72

Hi! Do you know the newbie wants to talk to you? IMHO, Ubikwit and STSC should have politely asked the newbie that s/he should not join the SI RM as it was a very controversial topic and not a place for newbies, strike out her/his vote/edits there and leave. It seems to me that the user sounded reasonable and civil enough on the RM. I understand that the user knows WP well, but is it difficult to give the user a chance? Oda Mari (talk) 08:58, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I see that. I'll let Secret and/or ArbCom handle that case. only (talk) 11:45, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I think Kshar24 is a sock of SSA786

I hope this is the correct way of managing this, as I am new to getting help from an administrator when a user is unwilling to play by the Misplaced Pages rules.

I note that on 28 December you blocked SSA786 from editing for a period of 1 week for violation of WP:3RR and personal attacks/general disruption regarding Mariam-uz-Zamani. Now a new user Kshar24 is making the same changes to Mariam-uz-Zamani using the words with the same poor grammar and spelling. Thanks. --Chewings72 (talk) 09:08, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Yup, definitely appears to be a pretty obvious sock. I've blocked it indefinitely. Thanks, only (talk) 11:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I may need your help

Hi Only, you had helped me build a page and you cleaned the sentence to be more objective. I had received a message about ExposNation being notably recognized to have a page after it was mark for deletion. Anyhow, last night the page was deleted for soapboxing I believe. Just not certain what to do now. Thanks you had been very helpful from the beginning this is why I tougth writing to you.

Pdesnoyers (talk) 12:55, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

My only suggestions are that you create a draft version of it in a sandbox like User:Pdesnoyers/ExposNation draft; once you think it meets our guidelines, you can ask the user who deleted it what they believe needs to change to make it more appropriate/objective. I don't know enough about the subject, though, to help too much. I don't think you'll be too successful, though, because many will be skeptical of whatever you write as you are a representative of the group. Good luck, only (talk) 13:30, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Lihaas

The version you quote is much funnier, but if you look at the edit history, you'll see that Lihaas corrected the typos before you posted your reply. I assume that his correction and your edit happened at almost the same time, and they both went in without a conflict, but it does make your comment look kind of strange. If you prefer it that way, that's, of course, your prerogative. Just thought I'd let you know my thinking. I actually thought I was doing you a favor. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

We probably edit conflicted...I've ec'ed with him a few times now because of his tendency to spew things out then revise. I plan to leave it because it just demonstrates the incoherence that's coming out at times. only (talk) 22:41, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I dind't; I see now there is. But, based on the reason for the block, I'm not going to consider unblocking. only (talk) 17:30, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
How can details of the rangeblock be found? 82.132.228.147 (talk) 06:12, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
I found details of the rangeblock - how do I get (from there?) to the reasons for the block? 82.132.246.217 (talk) 07:25, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
You can talk to the blocking admin, but all I see is "block evasion" as the reason. only (talk) 12:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
That's my point - the only way to prevent such evasion on this network is to block the entire network. Blocking bits of it is absolutely pointless - it won't have any effect whatsoever on anyone who wants to evade it (as my edits here are surely demonstrating), it'll just inconvenience and discourage everyone else. 82.132.245.117 (talk) 12:23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Saw your thread on ANI after I made the block...was wondering if it was the same user. Hoping he doesn't continue! Sorry you have to deal with it. only (talk) 00:52, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry

I feel slightly embarrassed and confused because as far as I remember this person did revert the last time after the final warning. Why? Because I got one of that red light stuff your edits has been reverted warning as soon as I posted the final warning, and I said to myself that's it. He did it again. Weird enough it looks like she/he did it before. And we had a very weird discussion about it at the Vandalism report page about it. Hafspajen (talk) 16:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

No worries...like I said, this person at least seems to have some good faith intentions, so I didn't want to punish them right away. only (talk) 18:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case. The four articles the editor has been bringing to multiple forums are all, as the editor knows, under ArbCom sanctions. A bit ironic and I am considering whether something else needs to be done. (I'm waiting in part to see if the editor will respond to repeated requests to explain how certain sources the editor used back the claims they were used for, but I'm being ignored - not sure if I'm dealing with someone just not understanding how to use sources or something else).

I understand your point. While I was not optimistic, I hope that somewhere and sometime these people might reform. Letting them know that we are not hostile can't hurt.

Considering this, it may be wise to add flows.com, flows.org, and DailyFlows to an edit filter that trips an alarm, at least for the next few weeks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:41, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not great at utilizing edit filters, so you might want to request at Misplaced Pages:Edit filter/Requested or at WP:AN/WP:ANI. It's not a bad idea to try to implement one. only (talk) 23:45, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Attempting to Make Username Change

I put in a request on my talk page to change my username acceptable to the wikipedia guidelines, books2000, but I'm wondering if I haven't done it right? The system only recognizes the username to be changed at the moment. Greyrootsarchives (talk) 17:03, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

You need to go to Misplaced Pages:Changing username/Simple and follow the directions there in order to have your user name changed. only (talk) 20:37, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Request for Assistance in Dealing with hostile WP Admins Drmies, and Bishonen

First of all, congratulations on a most impressive profile page.

I received a message from "Only" in my email box, but there was no content in the message. Now, after having looked at your profile, I am contacting you for your help and advice concerning hostile WP admins who are threatening me.

Here is the story, which you can also read on my talk page. https://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Livingengine1#Notice_of_Edit_warring_noticeboard_discussion

The Misplaced Pages entry for "Stop Islamazation of America" is a screed, and is in gross violation of WP:NPOV. This is largely the doing of partisan editor, Roscelse.

When Roscelese began including statements to the effect that Pamela Geller inspired Anders Breivik, I deleted those statements based on Misplaced Pages policy concerning libel.

WP:Libel states in part -

" Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that is unsourced or poorly sourced; that is a conjectural interpretation of a source (see No original research); that relies on self-published sources, unless written by the subject of the BLP (see below); or that relies on sources that fail in some other way to meet Verifiability standards. Note: although the three-revert rule does not apply to such removals, what counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial. "

So, we had an opinion of someone other that Breivik being presented in the voice of Misplaced Pages, and it was quite legitimate to delete this libelous statement without being subject to the 3RR rule.

Breivik never said this about Pamela Geller. He never wrote he was inspired by Pamela Geller. There is nothing in his manifesto about being inspired to kill by Pamela Geller.

Nevertheless, Roscelese enlisted the aid of WP admin Bishonen to have me blocked for edit warring.

I argued my case forcefully on my talk page, and was accused by Misplaced Pages admin Bishonen of "POV pushing", and that he will act against me on this basis. I am not engaging in "POV pushing". When I demanded an explanation for his statement, and threat, instead of answering me, Bishonen accused me of sockpupetry. Again, I have NOTHING to do with this. I am still waiting for an explanation from Bishonen.

A second admin, Drmies, entered the discussion making a weak argument for Geller inspiring Breivik. I crushed him with three strong arguments, namely:

Breivik expressly states in his manifesto that he was inspired by Muslims to kill.

Breivik has also confessed from jail that he is a Nazi, and his mass murder was designed to discredit the counter jihad movement. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fexpo.se%2F2014%2Fbreivik-vill-deportera-illojala-judar_6336.html

Finally, no less an authority than Misplaced Pages states that Breivik was planning to kill in 2002; Geller did not start blogging until 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/Anders_Behring_Breivik#Planning_attacks

Drmies' response was to dare me to bring him up on "charges" at the ANI bulletin board, but that I had better "duck on the way out". I am taking this as an attempt to ambush me at the ANI bulletin board.

I now have two WP admins threatening me, and looking for pretext to act against me for simply following WP regarding NPOV, Libel, and consensus.

I have no interest in bringing anyone up on charges, or censoring them, or anything of this sort. I am not playing games.

It is clear to me that I need friends here at Misplaced Pages. Any help you can provide in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Livingengine1 (talk) 23:04, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

I'd rather not get involved, sorry. My edit to your talk was simply to disable the unblock requests because you were no longer blocked at that point. I have no interest in your case; I was just performing an administrative upkeep task. only (talk) 23:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello. In brief, I really would like Rollback. Any single editor would need one look at my history to see that it would benefit me 90% of the time with little else outside of it. At the moment I am engaging in donkey work like every other vandal fighter and recent changes watchman/woman and they are permanently beating me to the crunch. I'm not complaining or saying it is a bad thing, quite the opposite. It is just double frustrating when you go through all the motions only to find it was done one minute ago by someone else with rollback. I have to hit History, select the last good version which is before one vandal's eight consecutive contributions, choose it, save it, and insert a summary; by the time I've got there, job done, my contributions would have more than doubled had this not happened. So I am not that inexperienced. Even warnings, I now template my own, but do you know how often I try to issue one only to meet the Edit Conflict page because an editor-with-tools has got there first? If I knew he/she were on the case, I wouldn't have started. As I said, donkey work for nothing. You probably missed this discarded reply. So, from anew, Rollback for Grade X? --Grade X (talk) 16:31, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I stand by my previous decline. Not enough experience, not enough maturity/appropriateness in addressing vandals as demonstrated in edits such as this, this, this, this, this, or this. I highly suggest you take a look at Misplaced Pages:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy. You clearly should not be granted the tool at this time. only (talk) 21:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

User:Lockean One

Hi, I was wondering if you could look at these edits by User:Lockean One. They seem disruptive. His talk page is littered with requests for civility. Thanks. — goethean 14:13, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes, please do. Each of those examples was a plea by me for other editors (especially Goethean) to be civil and stop making false statements about me (and other editors). Please look at the posts I was responding to in those diffs, including Goethean calling me a troll, vandal, etc along with his rude and obnoxious falsehoods. They violate several Misplaced Pages policies not only for incivility, but for incessantly discussing the person instead of content. This tactic has been used by Goethean (and a couple of others) to overwhelm and derail legitimate discussion about article content for months. While I have been guilty of incivility myself on occasion, I have never once stooped to the level Goethean has recently, evident in Goethean's own diffs above.
