Inclusion

Hi, Herby. Is there any template for inclusion policy related warning?--Aphaia 15:51, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Are you looking for {{offtopic}}? :) --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:54, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

That's it! Thank you :) --Aphaia 16:10, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Re:Unblock my Account

Jpgordon blocked my account on Wikipedia for abuse of multiple accounts even though I don't see how I have sockpuppeted using the account. 71.94.158.203 18:49, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

You probably should take it up with Jpg. However I can see a number of user accounts that appear related on one IP (including one which is currently unblocked but I'll get to that later) so barring an explanation of why so many accounts are on one IP puppetry looks likely.

I told the user to unblock my account but the user said "shot yourself in the foot there" in the user's reply, which meant that the user disabled anonymous editing for 2 weeks after my accounts were blocked on wikipedia. 71.94.158.203 04:38, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Given that you seem to agree that you were using multiple accounts (you say "my accounts") then I think we are done here. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:02, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

I meant that I was using one account here and multiple accounts on wikipedia. When I created an account with the username being Uw-ublock and I was told that it was against policy, I made an unblock request so I could change my username, but before I had the time to do it, my accounts were blocked by Jpgordon for abusing multiple accounts. 71.94.158.203 19:03, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Request

Could you please take a look at current requests for unblock? Thanks. 95.220.114.11 07:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Not got much time I'm afraid (nor do I know anything about the ones there which makes it harder). --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

File:Kohs with MyWikiBiz screen.jpg

Hi. I don't understand this deletion. The image isn't off-topic (it's used on Wikimedia Foundation Board election pages) and it isn't unlicensed (the upload summary clearly specifies a license—GFDL). Is there something I'm missing? It seems like it shouldn't have been deleted. Cheers. --MZMcBride 23:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying. When the user was unblocked I guess the image was ok. However given the fact that he is blocked/locked then the image looks plain promotional as far as I am concerned. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:42, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Herby, please stop this childishness. The image is not more promotional than any other random image. Blocks have no baring on this. Guido den Broeder 10:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

childishness hum - we must agree to differ. I am also getting tired of you stalking me - thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

We call that a projection. You appear on my radar because you are harassing a friend of mine. Guido den Broeder 17:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

So now that he is blocked, it is necessary to erase all traces of him from Meta in case it looks promotional? Please check where the image is still in use before deciding that they are no longer required[1] and deleting them. —Joshua Issac 12:26, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you should check stuff out first - that one you point to the uploader requested its deletion requesting privacy... Looking forward to the apology --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:32, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I had gone through both the links to the image and CastAStone's contributions history before commenting, and found nothing about a deletion request; however, if he did request deletion, then I am sorry for bringing it up. Do you have a similar rationale for the deletion of Gregory Kohs's image? All the photos on the WMF candidates pages could be regarded as promotional, since the candidates are trying to get the reader to vote for them. --Joshua Issac 13:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

You will find there is still a picture of TheKohser here (as far as I recall - actually here). The one I removed gave far more prominence to his website as it did to him (a very small portion of his face appears just at the side of the image which is covered with his web address) as such it is promotional not a "user image". I have do nothing more or less than I would do to such an image wherever/whenever I found it.

I assume you do not believe me on the other one - please contact any admin of your choice to examine the user's posting regarding deletion and then you will be able to apologise honestly --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:32, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I did believe you and my apology was honest; my first reply was not to imply that I did not believe you, but to make it clear that I had "checked stuff out" before posting. There is no need for further verification of the user's request to have the image deleted. Happy editing! --Joshua Issac 14:45, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh, didn't realize there was another image on Commons. Fair enough. Cheers. --MZMcBride 05:06, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

IP block

thank you :) --Melos 21:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Just to let you know, that that guy/girl has been trolling too on MediaWiki.org, and I've blocked it. --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 18:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

I am well aware - I always check SUL - I would not have blocked so quickly either. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 18:25, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Request

Could you please create the pages User:Xenobot/EditCounterGlobalOptIn.js and User:Xenobot Mk V/EditCounterGlobalOptIn.js with the following content:

// opt-in

Thanks! –xeno (talk) 18:26, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Not sure why you want me to do this however more importantly the two accounts are not SUL ones so will it actually work? Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:24, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

It's because I'd rather not have the opt-in pages in my bot's en.wiki userspace, but similarly I'd rather not turn the accounts into SUL accounts unless necessary. –xeno (talk) 18:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Done - cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! It works, fwiw =) –xeno 15:06, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

user:NRSFD is as my userpage, so I'd like to do what I will with it.

As you can see I'm trying to have vandalised content restored on en:Wikipedia.

Unfortunately one user keeps blocking me with excuses like "trolling", "personal attacks", "being disruptive" "sockpuppet creation" bla bla bla when all I am doing is trying to highlight my concerns in a reasonable manner.

Any dissent is quashed.

This is an important manner across co-ordination of wikis because they are stifling free speech and wikibullying one user for doing exactly what you're supposed to do.

As you can see I will fight this -- I won't bend over and take it like they want me to.

That is why I have come to meta.

You seem like a reasonable person NRSFD 15:01, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Herbythyme -- you are suppressing w:en:free speech. Should I request your user page to be deleted? It explains what you do, just as mine explains what I do? NRSFD 16:01, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
