February 2015 - March 2016

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Loot Crate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Comic-con. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, you deleted Carles Romagosa Vidal page on the 27th of November. I just wanted to reply and use this talk site to confirm that I'm the owner of the content that I'm trying to post on Wikipedia and I would like to know what I would need to do to get it permanently. Many thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.farrerons (talk • contribs) 10:36, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@M.farrerons: The article was deleted after a deletion discussion took place where it was decided that the subject was not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia article subjects must have been the subject of multiple in depth reliable sources of information to qualify for a Wikipedia article. On a side note - did you try to make this edit (this one on my talk page) twice by any chance? If so, what happened the first time? Thanks, Sam Walton (talk) 09:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I provided several references and wrote the article properly, yet it was deleted. Explain yourself. --Albanian Historian (talk) 23:08, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Albanian Historian: I merely closed the deletion discussion as having found consensus to delete the page. The reasons given there included the article being an inappropriate content fork, your sources not being reliable, and it not having been written in the expected encyclopedic tone.

Hi. What happens to the other blocked accounts used by me and those suspected to be used by me although they weren't? --Bazaan (talk) 13:01, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bazaan: The other accounts which you used will remain blocked; part of your unblock condition is that you stick to this account. As for accounts you claim weren't used by you, most of the blocked accounts were blocked with CheckUser evidence, meaning - in short - that they stand little chance of being unblocked. If there are accounts which were blocked as suspected sockpuppets, however, and you genuinely weren't the one operating them, post a message to Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations laying out the details of that; someone might look into it.

Hi! You unblocked Bazaan few weeks ago after his request for standard offer was accepted ([38]). I am pretty sure that he is using the IP (120.136.5.60) to evade his topic ban. Can you take a look? I just intended to re-block him, but then I thought to seek another opinion. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:22, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: I'm not 100% that that is definitely Bazaan and I would be more comfortable if we could get a CU to look at it. Can you open an SPI? Sam Walton (talk) 09:14, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: On second thought, I'm pretty certain it is. Given that a standard offer unblock is resting on this, however, I'd still like a CU check. Sam Walton (talk) 11:30, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Posted a new SPI. Sam Walton (talk) 11:38, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but, CheckUsers are going to decline your request. They are not allowed to publicly connect usernames with IPs. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:28, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes, of course. Hmm. Sam Walton (talk) 14:40, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam, because pings don't always work, I wanted to alert you to a question I posed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bazaan. I've put the case on hold while waiting for you. If you'd rather discuss it on your Talk page, that's okay, but just make sure I know that's what you prefer. Regards.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:30, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sam - the ever lovely Pat Hadley suggested I ping you in case you were free for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/UK/ArtAndFeminism_2016/Leeds_Central_Library

I'm currently the lead trainer but would really value some more experience in the room - plus there will be CAKE :)

@Leela0808: I would love to get involved, but unfortunately that's my birthday weekend and I have plans, otherwise I would! Hope you can find someone else to join you. Sam Walton (talk) 14:44, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wahhhhhh! OK, that's a shame but never mind :) I shall flag up other regiona things to you if you like? Leela0808 (talk) 14:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Leela0808: Please do! I'm not as good at keeping up with editathons that are going on as I should be :) Sam Walton (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sam, back in October 2015 you semi-protected Adderbury Park F.C. from being reverted by an IP, well the same is happening, probably a sock of Turkishpride. Could you please protect the page indefinitely, as there is no reason it should be reverted ever. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 22:34, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JMHamo: Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep an eye on it and protect if necessary. Sam Walton (talk) 19:56, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam! I'm so excited to be talking to you here again! It's been a rather long time due to school and all, which I understand is the case for you as well. I'm here to let you know that my little article that I was working on for the longest time now, Dilek Peninsula-Büyük Menderes Delta National Park, is a good article now! I have to thank you this much once again for your help and your copy edits, which I gave you a cookie for months ago :) In the meantime, take care, and as I told Fuhghettaboutit as well, if there's anything you'd like to do to help out for the Özdere article, like improve it, review its GAN, or just offer advice, I welcome you. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coderenius (talk • contribs)

Thank you for this edit. My first impulse was adding a CN tag, but then I decided to remove it outright...only to get so wrapped up in the edit summary that I forgot to actually remove the text. So ultimately, your edit was what I was intending on doing. I now see its been a discussion point on the talk page too, I'll be sure to drop a note there too. (I too am having a difficult time with this editor and his disregard for WP:OR and poor sourcing.) Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 16:36, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sergecross73: No worries; we went back and forth on it some time ago until I got tired of arguing. The article -particularly that section- has been on my to-look-at-properly list for a while, was happy to notice you trimming some stuff from it! Now I think about it, this isn't the first time I've had a mildly infuriating argument with this user about sourcing. Sam Walton (talk) 16:39, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know what you mean about sourcing and original research discussions... Sergecross73 msg me 16:44, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Samwalton9. Would you mind taking a look at Mariel Pamintuan? You deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariel Pamintuan (2nd nomination), but it appears to have been re-created by someone claiming to be her friend. It was tagged with {{db-person}}, but that was also removed by the same editor claiming to be her friend. I'm not sure whether the article needs to be deleted per WP:G4 or just restored to the redirect added after the AfD, so I figured I'd ask you since you were the closing admin of that AfD. If this is a sign that "her friends" are going to keep re-creating the article, then maybe WP:SALT should apply? Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Thanks for the heads up, G4'd and redirect reinstated. Will keep on my watchlist. Sam Walton (talk) 00:02, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
