Hentai Vandalism

Hey Poet, I saw you in the recent changes list for Hentai and was wondering where the right place to report consistent spamming by one user, User:Matjooo on both that article and the one about Cartoon Pornography. I don't want to fall foul of the three revert rule, but I seem to be alone in reverting the constant edits.Steve355 (talk) 20:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I gave them a final warning to stop adding spam links. Let me know if they do so again.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

A question on attacks

Hey Poet Gal, I had a question regarding WP:ATTACK. If a user says he doesn't have to listen to what I say because I haven't contributed "substantial, meaty and scholarly articles," can such statements be categorized as a personal attack?

Thanks for the reply. Grsztalk 03:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for response

Hi! Thanks for your response. That's not typical of the basic MediaWiki software... do you happen to know which extension allows for that or if it is custom code just for Wikipedia's version? I am asking all this because I run a MediaWiki server in my organization and I was surprised that you removed the history of the edits without the Oversight extension. Thanks for taking the time to respond... I appreciate it! κaτaʟavenoTC 00:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Age of Conversation Book page scheduled for Deletion

Hello,

Please help me again. They've marked the Age of Conversation [The_Age_of_Conversation] book page to be deleted because it links to blogs! Bloggers wrote the book so of course it links to them...

Can you please intervene? Or give me direction on how to do this right?

The Incident

You may want to see the topic relating to the incident that caused those templates to be protected. But if you have seen it already, ah well, I'm sure many are watchlisting those templates now.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 08:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I already watched all of them... but it happend in the middle of night for me. I just don't think protecting all the templates 'just to be safe' isn't the way to go; it just screams WP:BEANS. — Edokter • Talk • 08:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Reg. Dravidian civilisations banner

Hello! This is about this banner that you created some time back. The Malayalam text on the picture is misspelled. Probably not your fault, but the computer that you created the image on does not have complete Indic text support. The correct spelling is: സ്വാഗതം. If it is indeed a rendering error, you might want to verify the text in the other languages too, as errors might have crept into them as well. --thunderboltz(TALK) 14:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I am a fan of persian poetry, and I was wondering if you'd mind sharing with me some translated pieces. If you have none available that is quite alright. May you go in God's care. Peter Deer (talk) 00:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I certainly have. I am a great fan of Rumi, though from what I hear about the translations of Hafiz they aren't particularly accurate. What I've read I like though. Actually as to my inquiry, I was interested in reading some of your poetry, if you don't mind sharing. May you go in God's care. Peter Deer (talk) 01:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
My email is at peterjdeer (at) gmail (dot) com. (sorry for the parenthesis things there, just don't want bots picking up my email which, so far, recieves no spam.) May you go in God's care. Peter Deer (talk) 01:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Your Comment...

That sure stinks. What do you mean, be careful what I say next time? Bob the Wikipedian, the Tree of Life WikiDragon (talk) 02:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering...

...does what I did count as 3RR? I know it doesn't count when it's reverting vandalism, does the same apply to SD? HalfShadow (talk) 00:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Just making sure. Since you're not allowed to delete SD warnings (unless you're an admin), technically it's a form of vandalism anyway, so I was pretty sure I was in the right, but it never hurts to see it in text. HalfShadow (talk) 00:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Do you mind if you state your opinions on the article? I am planning to nominate for DYK when I find a few more refs.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 00:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, but I think you misunderstood the 5 days old criteria. It says it has to be "no more than five days old", which means I must nominate it before the article being at wikipedia for 5 days, in other words, I must nominate it before 5 days since it's creation. And I'm currently finding refs for the verification templates. Comments?--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 00:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. And it's OK. I'm not a master of the criteria myself. Also, I have recently started using navigation popups to revert vandals. Do you have any comments on that, like when not to use them (i.e. Rollback is not used for good faith edits)? If you have absolutly no experience with popups, that's okay too.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 01:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I see. I may have remembered that edit. It may have been when I reverted an edit, and it seems there was vandalism in the other reversion, or I think I accidentaly reverted another user's revert as I was too late to revert it myself.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 01:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I nominated it and it passed. I also added some images. But it's not a DYK yet, it just meets the criteria. Comments?--RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 22:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Problems with persistent vandalism

Hello Poet Gal, I have been contributing to the List of Howard University people page and noticed that User:69.141.32.41 has vandalized the page dozens of times. On that user's talk page (User talk:69.141.32.41), there are three warnings indicating if the vandalism continues, the user will be blocked. The user has persisted (I reverted some the vandalism just minutes ago) and I am requesting help. Can you do anything or should I post this note somewhere else?

Bot adding to image talk

WBOSITG's RfA

Hello Persian Poet Gal, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in my RfA which was passed with a final tally of 114/10/4. I'm both shocked and honoured to gain so much support from users whom I admire and trust, and I hope I can avoid breaking that backing by being the best administrator I possibly can. I will take on board the opposition's comments and I hope to improve over the coming months and years. Once again, thank you! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Peter Jennings image warrior

Just letting you know that this has been a long-time vandal. S/he has been warned many many times already on various IPs (the user seems to be using a dynamic IP ISP) since at least 2007. Every few weeks or so, the user will pop back in and put the fair use image back up. No idea why this is so important to him/her; rather odd. BuddingJournalist 21:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Wrong id on sockpuppet

Persian Poet gal, you extended the wrong user's block for sockpuppetry. The sockpuppeteer in question is User:Sumerophile. Take a look, you will see that Andranikpasha is restoring the same text that "NonNationalistEditor" deletes, and Sumerophile is also the 144.* ip sock. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 23:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Note that "NonNationalistEditor" still needs to be blocked, as it is a sockpuppet.Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 23:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem, but the real culprit Sumerophile has become irritating with still edit warring with all these socks, rather than wait out his block, and apparently didn't learn his lesson with an extension to one month last time. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 23:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

(from 4d-don)

Persian Gal...

Could you get a ruling from a "higher" body or process, so as to get a WIKI concensus on using these three (3) SOURCES of INFORMATION as references or Sources in our article on Sahaj Marg [here]. This would bring a "conclusion" to our debates that have deteriorated to many editors, including the admin, using POV although you just target my posts. Others are also using such "personal attacks", "slander", but you and Sethie just target those on side of the debate, for "deletion" or for "erasing of the comments" even those I post in the form of "QUESTIONS" so that we may include all the FACTS in the article and not simply do a PR job and PROMOTE this "controversial" GROUP with "Sources written by members of this GROUP in "commercial RAGS" they call "credible". Reports like the ones below are call: not credible.

These sources are being used in Europe on the French WIKI [here]

And on this article on [Sahaja Yoga]

Rapport fait au Nom de la Commission d'Enquete sur les Sectes (The French report on "Sectes" of 1995)

The Interministerial Mission of Vigilance and Combat Against Sectarian Aberrations (The MIVILUDES) of the French Government, 2003) [here]

The Centre d'Information et d'Avis sur les Organizations Sectaires Nuisibles of the Belge Government, CIAOSN) [here]

I trust you are not in a "conflict" as a member of this group or a SIMILAR one and that your actions are "at arm's length" and "Neutral"?

Oops, aw crud

Well, I just submitted a completely legitimate vandalism report to WP:AIV. Problem is, it was the right case, but the wrong IP. I accidentally submitted that of the person who was reverting the vandalism. Went ahead and gave proper warning to the actual vandal, and I'm letting the case cool off, since it seems like the situation has died down. Sorry about that! I didn't intend to falsely accuse somebody. The user in question has also received an apology. - Vianello (talk) 04:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

"Redundant"

Hi Persian Goat Pal,

I read your essay on why vandalism is silly, and made a few copy-edits. One thing that I couldn't simply correct is your use of the word "redundant" when you seem to mean something more akin to "useless" or "ineffective".

Anyway, keep up the good work. --Slashme (talk) 14:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
