User talk:Riana/Archive 26
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
12,000 pagesThat many? Like I said on Kyoko's talk page, I'm occupied enough with 66. Acalamari 23:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC) Thank YouThanks Riana. I have been attacked by 2 different IP's which is the same user. I will let you know if anything else comes up. Thanks again.

The help is incredibly appreciated. Trusilver 05:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC) Help at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Hel Hufflepuff (2nd) Resolved Since you indef-blocked Oli Wood, and deleted his "contributions", I'de like it if you could, at a check-user request related to this user, answer the following question: Did this user use a link to WP:IAR as a part of the edit summeries? This seems to be a major part of the method of operation of Hel Hufflepuff's sock-puppets. A list of pages by this user can be found at WP:AN#Edit summary from edits of Oli Wood. Od Mishehu 09:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC) Recent edit to your userpageHi. Terribly sorry but I recently removed a link to the archived version of your userpage since I clicked on it and WP turned up a no page found thingy. I did wonder how all the other editors who keep watching your page let that slip, but since the link simply wasn't working (I tried again and again) I removed it. Sorry! aJCfreak yAk 10:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Maybe?Maybe you are a God? Just maybe. I'm thinking of starting a sub-userpage and taking a vote on it. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other editors out there who think so too.... :) aJCfreak yAk 10:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Deletion without consensus/Contestion of deleted pageRe: [] - Consensus was not demonstrated. Also this article was re-written within the Afd timeframe and should have been re-listed for consensus to be reached. Thank you. 83.88.224.53 11:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
User:Super poohHi Riana, I'm sure this is a violation of the username policy, I reported it to WP:UFA, just dropping by to see what you think, if I was wrong I accept that but just wondering what you think. Regards
Doily imageI'm delighted you found the crochet doily useful -- i can provide a much higher resolution image 3500 x 1699 and have the whole doily at 2508x2566. Could you let me know by comment on the Flickr image? I've been thinking about submitting more photos (and video clips?) to wikimedia commons, but haven't quite had the time yet. I've not been active on wikipedia, but if it's possible, could you switch the attribution to judielaine there? Thanks!

If you've got the time, I wonder if you could explain to me your edit comment regarding the vandal I reported. Basically I reported a repeating vandal with a history, and no action was taken. To prevent more vandalism from this IP, surely the thing to do would be to ban it..? Cheers. --Mal 22:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey thereHi! How've you been? Hope real lifes treating you better now... :) Just a note, my admin coaching page has sent word its been missing you. Its looking forward to meeting you again sometime. Whenever you're not too busy, if you could indulge it for a while, I'm sure it'd be grateful :) Shashwat Pandey - Sahaj MargDear Riana, Thank you for your help on the Sahaj Marg and Shri Ram Chandra Mission pages. I notice you unblocked Shashwat Pandey and would please ask you to keep an eye on this site today. If you look at Shashwat's talk page, you'll see repeated flagrant violations over a long period of time of reversions and refusals to collaborate with persons. He's already in mediation with another user. I honestly don't know how to get agreement with him. I'll write something that's straight middle-of-the-road using the terms he wants (he always wants to put "claims" into sentences because he has a hostile POV toward Sahaj Marg) so I redid this sentence to simply state what Sahaj Marg was, and incorporated his term "claims" into it (even though I don't agree, SM does offer training, not "claims to"): Sahaj Marg (Simple Path) is a meditation system offered by Shri Ram Chandra Mission, which claims to offer training training in spirituality. His response was to deny that Sahaj Marg is a meditation system! And also, that we shouldn't use the word "claims" (this after he changed it multiple times to use the word claims). Sfacets joined in and said that was ridiculous and tried to revert his changes but Shashwat just ignored him and put it back. Another editor wrote on the SRCM discussion board (Don) that he agreed with my edits, and Shashwat reverted that too. So, I don't know if it's possible to reasonably work with him, because whatever is edited, he argues against, and he seems to think he's the only editor. Any advice is appreciated. Renee --Renee 07:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC) IP vandalismI'll remember to revert your vandalism manually next time, and perhaps add a human remark or two to avoid anyone thinking I'm some kind of bot at work... :) -- Longhair\talk 08:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC) Shashwat Pandey - Six changes in 1 hour; NO discussionDear Riana, Since you have unblocked Shashwat, he has gone back in and made SIX unilateral edits in just one hour, WITHOUT any discussion on the talk page. I request that he be blocked for a week or so, so that those who want to discuss the matter can review the changes and talk about them. He seems to see the Sahaj Marg page as his page, and that only he has the right to edit. Also, he has a clear negative point-of-view and keeps trying to promote the group as a cult, when in my POV it is just a meditation group. Help is appreciated. Renee --Renee 08:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
RianaHe is at it again Riana This time he is using a different IP 65.30.177.4 (talk · contribs) to get around his block. Please see my talk page to see what he has done. Thank you. King Lopez Contribs 08:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC) Thanks Riana. But I hope he stops doing this. It is really bothering me. King Lopez Contribs 08:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC) :OOkay... First of all, you're freakin me out. How the heck are you so fast??? Mind-blowing.
Thanks for your inputHi Riana, Thanks for your input on Sahaj Marg article, i will be highly greatful incase you can share your thoughts regatrding your latest message on my talk page. Why do you feel that i should not edit ? given the fact that other editor's are free to edit, i doubt that person who requested you to intervine is new to wikipedia (this is just a doubt, not sure) as i have experienced something similar before as well, when a perticular user protrays herself (may be himslef) as new to wiki, and made lot of edits. Which of my edits you have found not adhereing to wiki policy, i will be happy to correct them, kindly note, the page is already under mediation and large edit such as what was make is not acceptable at this point of time. I would suggest to get the original content of the page back, allow the mediation process to complete and then whatever is still not agreed can be discussed. Giving warning's without specifying the exact content which has violated any wiki policy should be avoided. Kindly let me know the reason for your latest message. Tnx.--Shashwat pandey 09:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC) GiloHi Riana, With due respect, I don't think it is fair to protect the version established by one ["cabal"-crying] IP's 10RR against that endorsed by four other users. I'm aware of the "wrong version" issues, but this case really is one where the established users are being punished for following policy, and some random IP's disruption is rewarded. Please reconsider, TewfikTalk 09:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC) RE: GiloHave you any idea the kind of POV pushing going on at Gilo? It is truly shocking. It is a Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem taken by the Israelis by force and then settled against international law. Almost every independent media organization in the world calls it a settlement ... I cited the UN and the BBC ... another user a month ago cited similar sources. Only the Israeli government call it a neighbourhood (a laughable term ... it's a sealed off hill-top settlement/colony surrounded by hostile Palestinians), and their supporters follow suit. On wikipedia five Israeli/Jewish users are reverting everyone who makes mention of this in the lead, and deleting their sources to boot, hoping they'll go away. That is the very definition of a cabal. BTW, the controversy of Gilo is dealt with in a documentary online. About two and a half minutes through, this documentary it discusses Gilo in particular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzBxdHJLAxo&mode=related&search= I ask that you take five minutes to watch it. I'm not a random anon. I'm the consensus of the most people, it's just that the demographics of that article's watchlist are messed up. And I'm not some nutter, I'm just trying to get no-POV on that article. Yours- "random anon"

ProtectThanks for the protect. Darrenhusted 17:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC) action pleaseDear Riana, Shashwat Pandey is posting flagrant POV edits on the Sahaj Marg page now, some are completely slanderous and unethical. Specifically, he just changed one line to read: The goal of the Sahaj Marg practice is to become one with divine, represent by the leader involved in various criminal/acts of violence and forgery activities. (He got this information off of a blog and an anti-SRCM site. Please note that repeat court cases in India have ruled in favor of the current group, though another group repeately files false allegations that are dismissed by courts. Nothing has been ruled in support of these allegations ever.) Then, he changed the first line. It previously said that "Sahaj Marg is a meditation system." He changed it to read, "Sahaj Marg is a system of obedience to its leader." And there's more, but you get a taste of what's happening. He has a very anti-Sahaj Marg blog that should serve his POV purposes, but he insists on unilaterally changing things without consultation or feedback. And, I just had secured consensus previously on the meditation issue, the secte issue, and on grammar and flow (the order issue). Help!!! I don't know what to do but I'd like to follow Wiki procedures. Renee --Renee 18:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

And I finished all the questions here. I know you're busy, so whenever you're free, please do have a look :) Admin coachingAs a non-admin user, I'm wondering why you and others are coaching supposedly prospective admins, especially since the one case I've seen involves a user who hasn't got a clue. What good is it to WP if a prospective admin gives the "right" answer rather than the one he or she thinks is correct? If they don't know the policies, they're not admin material, and I think this coaching process is covering up deficiencies. If someone is admin material they will be familiar enough with policy to know what to do, and if they don't know what to do, they should not be an admin. MSJapan 11:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Exposing identity and personal attackHi Riana, I have observed recently that renee is getting personal with my edits and trying to paint me in black color, given the fact that one can choose any user-name to edit wiki, but when a person is true to himself he does not need to hide behind any object, there is a wiki policy which prohibits exposing personal identities of people on wiki, and i feel renee is getting close to it, on your talk page also, her approach is more of against me then, edits or POV. This has put me in direct threat of personal safety, as you have been involved with her, i would request you to kindly advice her on how to aviode such acts, and avoide getting personal with other user's. This is very important, otherwise it can seriously undermine wiki project itself. --Shashwat pandey 11:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Renee, and personal attack/defamationHi Riana, I have noticed recently that Renee is approaching various admins with request to block me without citing any valid reason, however i have also noticed that she even tried to interfear with mediation process, by asking the mediator to ban me !! She approached you as well, and you acting on her advice, somehow missed the discussion and banned me for sometime. I had repeatedly tried to convince her that this page is under mediation and no major changes should be done while this process is underway, but insted of waiting to let the mediation process get over, she/he (?) changed the complete page and disturbed the process. Moreover, she is even connecting me with a friend of mine who is well versed with wiki policy but is not very much involved. It seems her one point agenda is to get me banned, this is against wiki policy to supress any POV, also i have serious doubt about her being new to wiki, as i have many times observed similar behaviour in past, by various user names also.Kindly note her approach to various admins, even after spending around 7 months on wiki i do not know how to identify an admin, but she/he contacted many admins and tried to get me banned.
1. She contacted you and influenced you to banned me just by reading her POV, my openion here is you should have asked for my stand before taking any such action. 2. here she directly approached the mediator and asked him to block me!!
4. She is putting false and factually incorrect information in the page to establish a POV such as this case is still pending and claim is it is in favor of one group !! 5. Note this Sahaj Marg is not an organization put for POV push she/he mentioned that it was registered as organization. 6. Kindly note religious claims which she is representing as fact's like in case of connection with God etc, they are just claims and cannot be stated as fact in any neutral article. 7. There are many more cases like this when i was out of town, i asked one of my friend to get involved in this article, which was not at all hidden, he even exposed his name etc to renee even after that just to get me banned she is making such absured claims. 8. Kindly make sure any other admin is not influenced by her false propaganda against me.
10. How can you help in getting her quite till mediation process is not complete ?
Thanks in advance--Shashwat pandey 18:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
WP:NPAI feel renee has seriously violated WP:NPA by trying to connect me with a blog on internet, this in my view is a clear case of attempt to expose a person's identity, and was done with same intention, as there is/was no referene to any blog on my user page ever.
Expect your kind co-operation. --Shashwat pandey 19:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC) List of Virtual Console Games (Europe)You protected this a week ago and it still isn't unprotected while it should be.

Hey Omegatron, I wasn't involved in the AN discussion about this article, or the DRV, but I was reading up on some background today, and nothing indicates to me that the talk should stay undeleted. Since the article is now userfied, may it be better to centralise the discussion in the user talk space also? Tbeatty has told me that the talk should stay deleted, so I'm not sure how to play this one out. I await your advice. Cheers, Riana (talk) 03:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I'd rather ask for help than make a mess. :) Acalamari 03:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC) BonkA yup! That's another open proxy to blow up. Want me to show ya how I do it? fairly easy, really ;) SirFozzie 03:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC) Ok. What I do is use the Check IP template (no, not the actual checkuser tool that real Checkusers use, but it has some interesting tools in it. Let's take the example of the IP you just gave me. 68.45.51.141 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)) the useful tools are in order (at least dealing with JB) 1) Where the RDNS resolves to. If it's outside the US, then it's a proxy. JB lives here in the states. If you see something like Kuwait City, or Brazil (which two of the open proxies that JB have used resolve to).. well.. that's a pretty good telltale right there 2) The 2nd Step is the RBL list (or Realtime Blackhole List. That brings up a site which will check the IP against a number of lists that track various things.. the more red.. the more likely it is to be a proxy. there's some reds that you can ignore (Dynamic IP's and the like).. but there are some lists (ones used for detecting phish attempts and the like that if I see, is nearly an instantaneous confirmation of it being a proxy. SirFozzie 03:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC) BinkSo much for having your user page on my watch list - like a hornets nest sometimes - trust you have suitable detox/washdown room facilities after a day of poorly potty trained floating ips hit the proverbial fan! :| SatuSuro 06:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Barnstar From King LopezHi Riana. I don't remember if I gave you a barnstar yet. But as you know I gave one to your alter ego last month. I can't say much about you my dear.

How's nineteen so far? ;) 61.50.138.186Hey Riana, I'm just curious what that was that you were using. Is that a utility or an admin function? I was reverting this user's vandalism one article at a time, which even with Twinkle is a little time consuming with how many article he hit. But then suddenly you had reverted all the ones I hadn't gotten to yet at once. If that is an admin function, too bad. If that's just a utility I can drop into my monobook page, I WANT! :-) Trusilver 04:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
FavourHi Riana, since I see you're online, would you please block Lciecat (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Although the user was "only" warned to level 4, the account was created for and used to vandalize several pages, and the editor indicated he/she was done. It might be better to have this blocked. Let me know if you'd rather I leave it, or take it to AIV. Thanks and cheers, Flyguy649talkcontribs 06:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Martin SavageHi, can you explain what is going on here. The article is currently as it stands it is in a postion that its still in a state that its been tampered with by the banned editor. There is no dispute over the article with the exception of this single banned editor. His IP should be blocked along with the 100's of others that he has used and then the article unlocked. regards--Vintagekits 15:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Talk:HHO gasYeah, it should be deleted and you probably don't want to get wrapped up in it. They keep adding material to the talk page in the hope the main page will be resurrected. Omegatron's actions regarding these articles is currently in an RfC here. It's apparently in user space now so that's okay as long as it's not resurrected but it shouldn't become the focal point for the various contributors from the deleted article. --Tbeatty 17:28, 30 June 2007 (UTC) LolI just came across this - Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#Even_Jimmy_Wales_wouldn.27t_pass. I was laughing when I saw the title, but they've got some valid points there. Anyhow, please do have a look at Daniel's questions and my replies whenever you're free.
