User talk:JzG

Requesting +sysop back, please, I want to undelete my user & talk and do some work on spam, as originally intended. Resigned the bit in uncontroversial circumstances. JzG 23:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Done ~Kylu (u|t) 00:18, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much. JzG 20:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

BL

Can you log the entries please (permanent link to the request) as the top of the pages says. I'm sure you will but it is a PITA attempting to find the rationale when someone comes along & complains in 6 months time. Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 19:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

• For sure, sorry. JzG 21:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks ok - it is a pain but finding stuff without it is worse --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely. Been there, done that. JzG 20:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Logging BL work

I realise you tend to work in your own rather individual way however as a courtesy to those who follow could you please log entries to the blacklist as everyone else does. I accept that it does take a moment longer however when an appeal is made it is far easier to find entries from the log one which can be clicked immediately. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 18:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• I was called away from the computer at the psychological moment, sir, otherwise I would have done so. JzG 18:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • In fairness I did wonder & confess that even I ;) have had to leave logging till a little later from time to time - apologies & thanks! --Herby ^{talk thyme} 18:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• No problem, actually I was fazed by the new COIbot format, which sort of stopped me in my tracks, and I had just decided to work on the huuuuuuuge backlog there, so I wanted to work through it step by step. Please let me know if I'm doing it wrong, because I am a n00b here really. JzG 18:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• The help really is appreciated. For a while now few folk have gone near the page & the massive influx by the bot (great help but) came at a time when I have little time to spare. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 06:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• And I can see why they avoid it, the reports are numerous and often huge, and the cleanup can take hours. It would be good if we could mobilisse local spam project volunteers to wikignome the spam out. JzG 17:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• Agreed - I had a crack at a handful today - some wikis had deleted the link (even blocked users), others had removed but not warned, others had left them (& that was all the same link!). An issue I found was at least three reports have link placements by the same IPs - now that to me is very suss but doesn't really come out in the "by domain" aspect of the reporting? I try & get some more done tomorrow maybe, cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

BL backlog

If you have the time can you take a look at this - thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I think changing the status to "closed" clears it from the page at some stage - the ones I did yesterday are gone & I didn't manually remove them. Some "instruction manual" would be useful :) --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure there's a bot, but the page is near unusable so I'm doing it manually for now. Please do let me know if that causes a problem, though. JzG 08:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Fine with me - I was about to do the few I got through today. It does bother me - great tool that deserves time & thought & we don't have enough people :( --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't "do" barnstars but thanks. That said quite a few of us were working on it yourself included. We just need to get a framework we can all work in (been to the pub, not fully coherent :)) - cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 21:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Amen to that. I've killed opver a thousand links to freerepublic on en, many copyvios and blog-as-source-in-BLP abuses. It's hard work, but worth it. JzG 21:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

BL naming

Shouldn't need to lobby him. He posted his agreement on the BL talk page a while back. Somewhere in the arcs - maybe a couple of months ago. Thread on renaming the list. (& yes it should be done!) Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 10:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Jimmy emailed the devs weeks back requesting the change, but it's not been done. I've asked him for a comment; maybe it's got a bugzilla ref now. JzG 21:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Don't think it does, but I'll check and make one now if not.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 22:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't find one, so I made bugzilla:14719. If you know of other places where this was discussed, please link to it on the bug.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 22:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

question about askel dot com blacklist entry

Hello,

I noticed an old entry done by you in the blacklist .

Is there more information about this banlist entry? The question comes from there

esby 02:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

User:COIBot/XWiki/askell.com

Can you please let us know why that was blacklisted here? Thanks  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 00:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

• COIbot entry reopened due to further linking form the same subnet, looked like spamming to me. I don't care deeply enough about it for Abd to need to create an article on the website in order to force through removal form the blacklist, though. JzG 21:39, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
