Another FYI about Perseus/Highspeedrailguy

Now he's SEPTActaMTA8235, and he's given you a message at simple:User talk:Fetchcomms#Account renamed, expressing his plan to connect the renamed account to en. I believe this is in violation of WP:SOCK because MuZemike blocked him for "Abusing multiple accounts". If I'm not mistaken, he is considered a sock here, so if he comes over, he should be blocked. Goodvac (talk) 21:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Yep, discussing there. Thanks for the note, /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 23:34, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

David Alexander (author)

Hi. The article was deleted by Ponyo and salted by me. Neither of us seem to think it is substantially different from the deleted version, despite the attempt to add references using ISBN numbers and author papers(!). Could you explain why you believe it is substantially different? Thanks. --rgpk (comment) 21:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

The AfD'd version had no references at all, and only one jumbled body section; see here. I could not find any more recent AfD, so I don't think G4 would apply. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 22:00, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

In all honesty, this one doesn't have any references either. Links to a website run by the person and to an article written by the Alexander. ISBN and ASIN numbers are not references. And author's papers??? Nope, I see no references but rather an attempt to make it appear as if there are references. The text is pretty much the same as well. --rgpk (comment) 22:07, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

It's better than nothing, and it's an attempt—I'm working with the author via OTRS. I'd say the text is still different enough to pass G4, but if you want to AfD it, go ahead. I have my doubts about his notability, but I'm trying to AGF here. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 22:09, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

OK. I think you should have checked, or at least dropped a note on ponyo or my talk page but no worries. --rgpk (comment) 13:13, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Just popping in to note that in all likelihood I'm going to put together a second AfD on this. Either that or I'm going to stub the hell out of it by removing all of the unsourced quotes and puffery. If there any specific non-private OTRS details that I should be aware of before doing so, just let me know and I will work around them. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 13:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

I think stubbing might work—it might poke the author into adding better sources or something. If possible, could you wait on an AfD for a week or so; if the author doesn't respond to me or keep working on the page, then go ahead. Thanks, /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 16:29, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

I made the remark above prior to checking my watchlist - the article is already at AfD (but not by me). We'll see how it plays out, and if it is kept I will clean it up as best I can. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: WP:FPOC

I will be busy until Friday. If I forget by Friday, please remind me again. (I wish user talk page could have a feature like email where I can check off read message/section and label them as unread) OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:24, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. I did forget about it. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:22, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

User:P00p™

Could you take a look at User: P00p™. I think his/her username is against the username policy. I think a admin. needs to take a look at this. Talk to me on my user page. Jamison Lofthouse (talk) 23:01, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

User was blocked indefinitely just two minutes before your post. Goodvac (talk) 23:07, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Report them here, for future reference. Only report blatant violations. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 00:55, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

AFD closures

Can you clarify your question on my RFA please? –BuickCenturyDriver 18:03, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how best to clarify it, but here goes:

• Article X is AfD'd.
• Six users !vote to merge and then delete the article because it's just plain horrible—they say that the page history contains too much crap.
• Two users say to merge, and didn't comment on deletion. No one says keep or redirect or anything else.
• So what do you do regarding this consensus (or lack thereof, if you feel there is none)? /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 01:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Verify the sources, voters reputations and close accordingly. If I'm stilll unsure, I'd probably ask another admin for review. –BuickCenturyDriver 02:17, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

What is the "accordingly" going to be (assume there are no sources, all voters are legit users, etc.)? /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:35, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

If all votes are legit, I'd probably lean towards deleting and redirecting since your "bad" article has no sources. According to what you said, only two editors requested a merge without deletion. I'd have to see an AFD like the one you're talking about becasue WP is not democracy so you can't judge an AFD by the amount of votes. Therefore, if you want to write the simulated AFD and have me judge it by all means. –BuickCenturyDriver 02:45, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Your answer seems OK, although I was mainly looking for "no, because merging and then deleting is a violation of copyright due to loss of attribution" (after someone brought up something regarding cut/paste moves. No worries, redirection after deletion is perfectly legal :) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Ante Gotovina

I was a bit puzzled by this edit under the edit summary "ce". Fainites ^barleyscribs 15:00, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Editing fail. I was trying to add a comma in, I think, and somehow I must have accidentally wiped out most of the article without noticing. Thanks for telling me—no one bothered to re-add that comma back after reverting :) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 19:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Success! Fainites ^barleyscribs 19:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy tag

I'm not sure who to take this to, but as you were doing something with a hangon tag earlier, I thought I'd land it on you. On the CSD tag, there's the following text: "clicking the button below will take you to the talk page where will find a pre-formatted place to explain why you believe this template should not be deleted.". This is slightly up the creek. First, it should say 'where you will find', and secondly, it's on articles and not just templates. I've never found where these things live when they're not in use - I just call them up with magic words in curly brackets - so I can't correct it (even if I am allowed to...). Over to you... Peridon (talk) 21:11, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I think you want Fuhghettaboutit (talk · contribs), but I think I fixed it :) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

That's better. This was the first time I'd actually read that bit slowly, knowing what it would say anyway. (That's always the problem when you're proof-reading your own stuff - you know what it should say and don't notice that it doesn't.) Cheers. Peridon (talk) 21:52, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Your ANI comment

I do not find it nice that you label me as incompetant at ANI. Before you make evaluations of other users like this, please review the contribs fully.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Posting a myriad of diffs now. Before you claim I have not fully reviewed your diffs, please consider the shocking possibility that—I have! /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 03:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

You may want to see my edits at WQA and the way I handle disputes w/o being involved in them. You clearly have not fully reviewed my edits. I do not need diffs to prove that.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Wow. Eagles 24/7 (C) 03:49, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Labeling me as childish is not appreciated at all. It verges on the edge of a NPA violation - ironically, a WQA thread I settled dealed with very similar comments to that.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

lmfao. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 03:53, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

If you make another comment like that I will post this as a violation in the ANI thread. That was surely a personal attack.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:54, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
