I noticed you declined the CSD nomination for K. Johnston because it has "credible claim of significance" although with only 1 source and nothing of significance showing up in a simple Google search, I have opened an AfD for this article. — Music1201 ^talk 04:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that is so unfortunate. I am in the middle of researching the person to add references and expand the article. I will go ahead and add to and improve the article, and I guess we will see how the AFD goes. Best regards~ Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant (talk) 04:49, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, As per your earlier recommendations all sources were changed from primary to secondary with reliable sources (over 10) and heavy editing as per recommendations.

The only thing reverted back to was adding a new sub heading for under career which was critical to the subject.

Thanks in advance. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by David-from-Montreal (talk • contribs) 03:21, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the edits and question. The original text for this post was written by one of my students for our editathon in my class. The references were sadly cited incorrectly, duplicated, and there were a number of factual errors. Also, in order to minimize pov concerns I went in and made some factual edits. Some of the information was simply incorrect. JVadera (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:06, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Original Barnstar

Thanks a lot! Sorry, I am new and am messing up a lot of stuff. I am only now learning how to navigate edits on Wikipedia. Thanks a lot for cleaning up my first page! Please let me know what sort of edits I should be making to make the page better. Also, regarding the deletion, it was repeated later in the text, so I deleted it. But with the new format, it makes a lot of sense to keep it. Once again, thanks a lot for the edits! ElCapoDeTodos (talk) 05:34, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I thought maybe you did not understand. It is needed to show a claim of significance in the lede so the article will not be nominated again. If you can find a proper citation for some of the awards, we could add one or two in the lede as well. Thanks for the barnstar!

There are multiple pictures of him on his Facebook page. Also, what are your thoughts on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Umi_Garrett?

For facebook, I think you have to log on then type in his full name. Pictures should show up

Thanks so much

I saw this discussion earlier. I have Umi Garrett on my list of articles to expand. I will check that out again when I am done on the article.

Any good image would be fine, but he or whoever took the image, would need to upload an image for us to include it in the article.

Could I possibly intrude upon you -- since you did make important contributions to the page -- to vote for KEEP? If you think the page has merit to continue to improve.

On 11 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rivka Basman Ben-Hayim, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Yiddish poet Rivka Basman Ben-Hayim began writing poetry to cheer up fellow inmates at the Kaiserwald concentration camp during World War II? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rivka Basman Ben-Hayim. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rivka Basman Ben-Hayim), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi there, I would help if I could, but I've never done anything like that before, and to be honest, I don't even know what you're talking about. It's probably easy to do, so I'll make sure to figure it out, but for the time being, you should probably ask someone who has done it before. Sorry.

Hi. In the context of trying to defuse tensions, is this page really necessary? Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:43, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well I suppose I could prepare as I go offline. I was trying to make things easier for myself to put a report together. The following started already. After a scary incident about a month or so ago that @Coffee tried to assist me with regarding the same editor who then was harassing me on wiki to the point were he was sending me unwanted emails even after I asked for it stop. It was creepy then, and that the following has started again, and it is still creepy, so shortly after you specifically warned about that, I decided to be proactive and possibly get some sort of something done so he will not bother me and follow me around. I dropped everything after the last harassment incident where he was harassing me because as I told Coffee at the time, I was afraid he might get inflamed more if I pursued some remedy. That did not work. If he wasn't following me I doubt he would ever even notice that page anyways. If he would stop following me, I could just delete the page. It will only be needed if the harassment and following continues. I ask for your advice today. Should I just sweep everything under the rug again? This whole pattern of harassing and following from him needs to stop. Apparently the only way I can stop it is to not go on wikipedia anymore. I already stopped writing women in red articles. The fun is not there any longer. Please let me know what you would prefer I do? Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 17:54, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let's back up a step. I think it would be better if you kept your "report" list offline, but I also think it will be better if there is nothing else to report, and I think HappyAttackDog does too. However, this is the first time I am hearing about "unwanted emails even after I asked it to stop" of a "creepy" nature. I'm also not sure what you mean by "women in red" articles" although I expect that's just unawareness on my part. Let me suggest that you not add anything else to that page, but contact me or another administrator directly if there are any other incidents. I trust there will not be. Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:59, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know far I have gone to avoid any issues, I have been trying to participate in the AFD program. As I go down the list, I check two things. The article page and the afd discussion page for the word happy. If I find that efitor there, I move onto the next AFD. Now I see today that he has gone to the AFD of the article for Laurie Langford [1] and discussed and !voted the opposite of me. I started trying to improve that article on July 3rd. He followed me to the article. It just goes on. I will now cross AFD off my list of things to help with. Hopefully things will not get worse.

Hello. I am wondering if you could supply more diffs within your recent comment over at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/195.224.183.184. I think these will be very helpful. Thanks. Steve Quinn (talk) 23:06, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I am working on a report that has all the particular diffs and all about each of the named and ip account. Do you want just the ones I mentioned in my comment there, or all the editors and ips which are probably involved? Perhaps I could send you the report with all the diffs, and you could evaluate whether to put it all in your report there? btw, that named account with only 91 edits just swooped in with a brand account, and went to the same group of articles to make AFDs, which then the other players continued their similar voting behaviors on. It is all just too odd to be a coincidence. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 23:17, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant: Well, if you say there are other editors and ips involved then I think it would be OK to do them all. I agree that it might be best to send the report to me first because I don't want you to get into trouble in case there is more information than is needed for this particular case. Particularity interesting is the one account involved in a sock puppet investigation who has created a new account - if that is what you are saying. Anyway, thanks for your assistance. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 11:25, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking an interest in the page and for denying the speedy delete. I am in no way affiliated with Shapur Mozaffarian, simply a fan of the luxury watches he carries at his store in San Francisco. This is my first Wikipedia page and I'm really enjoying the experience. I just added a link to a New York Times article revealing Mozaffarian as the designated jeweler for Barry Bonds. When do you think it would be appropriate to return the Lauren Bacall image etc? I also look forward to more collaboration. Dmachardy (talk) 23:42, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Dmachardy[reply]

Sure go ahead and add the Bacall image back in wherever you like, then wait a day or two and put the other one back. Have you done much research on him? We need to expand his article and add more good references. Try typing is name in google then click on the books tab rather than all. There is more about him in several books.

Also you might want to search at the Persian wikipedia here. [4] or here [5] or persian google maybe. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 00:13, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for those links to Persian Wikipedia and Google. Great idea! I think I'll hold off adding those images back in at least for the moment. How does the approval process work, i.e. when will the deletion notice at the top be removed? Dmachardy (talk) 06:23, 7 July 2016 (UTC)Dmachardy[reply]

This account is a suspected sock puppet of Carriearchdale (talk · contribs · logs) and has been blocked indefinitely. Please refer to the sockpuppet investigation of the sockpuppeteer, and editing habits or contributions of the sock puppet for evidence. This policy subsection may also be helpful.

Question

• I was noy aware that there had been w SPI done to technically determine these findings.

• Bbb23, I was not aware that HVE had been promoted to checkuser. Is that true?

• When I click on the link it was it goes to some person, that had a SPI two years ago?

• Were is the SPI for now if it is a checkuser block?

Perhaps it is all a big silly mix-up? Could one or more admins, checkusers, or other editors please address gravedancing

I am pending a decison, if whether it is worth it or not to even attempt to appeal this block when the grave dancing has already begun.

By the way, I am having off-wiki telephone calls from HVE who I assert is allegedly guilty of the WP:OUTING policy? Could someone perhaps forward these questions to OTRS? Thank you all. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 12:28, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Now this part is quite rich, A rush to judgement has occurred here.

HVE did not place the sock template on your userpage. ThePlatypusofDoom did, and it was properly reverted. As for the block, an administrator may block a user for sock puppetry without an SPI. You'd have to address any concerns on that score to the blocking admin, The Wordsmith. HVE is not an administrator, let alone a CheckUser, but I don't see the relevance of that issue. The Wordsmith is not a CheckUser and of course did not impose a CheckUser block. I don't intend to forward anything to OTRS; that's up to you. If you want to appeal this block, the usual first step is to request an unblock here on your Talk page. It's distracting. As an aside, I removed the picture. I don't understand why you plaster it all over your Talk page. Still, if you want to restore it, that's your prerogative.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:46, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't believe the "HappyValleyEditor is harassing me over the phone" part is factual. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. How would it be possible? _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:39, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even if HappyValleyEditor somehow knew who Fouette really was (Well, he did find her twitter account, so he may) there's no guarantee that he would know her phone number, even if for some reason she posted it on her twitter account. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 13:46, 11 July 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Your questions were already answered. There's literally nothing I can add to them. However, I will point out that | The Wordsmith did say on the ANI page The evidence had been passed around to several unrelated editors, crossing the boundary into "semi-public" as per EEML . As the evidence was, by his own admission both public and private, he has neglected to involve CU , but rather shown it to unrelated editors. Per MikeV who is both oversight and a check user Soliciting and evaluating private evidence runs completely afoul of our blocking policies. The community has firmly established that administrators may not base blocks off of evidence that cannot be peer reviewed. I strongly urge that you get in contact with the arbitration committee to sort out this matter. On a second note, please avoid using the Confirmed templates. They are almost entirely used by the checkuser team and carry the connotation that technical evidence was considered in making an evaluation . I find this troubling. If a regular user did this, that would be considered , possibly , outing. KoshVorlon 15:23, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That was all explained (some of it repeatedly) on the ANI thread. The evidence is all either on the ANI or in the edit histories of the users in question. Softlavender (talk) 15:39, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The block was the right decision, per WP:DUCK. All of the evidence was on the ANI. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 16:22, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@KoshVorlon: I'll say it one final time: The "private evidence" everyone was talking about was much overhyped; I merely asked for it because somewhere around a dozen people had been sent parts of it and were making judgments on that, but nobody had actually seen all of it. It all consisted of collections of diffs (publicly available), rephrasing of allegations that have already been made on ANI and elsewhere onwiki (again, public) and personal opinions (not evidence). There is nothing that falls afoul of the policy on confidential information, and even if there was zero "private evidence" there is more than enough that is publicly available to sustain the block on WP:DUCK grounds. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 16:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is all incredibly silly. I thought that this issue had been dealt with? Could we have a talk-page block? that's the second time that this person has said I am phone harassing them. That claim is a total crock of shit, to put it in precise terms. Why is this page open for a blocked account to complain? They should be going through the normal process for requesting an unblock.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 02:51, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, note that I do not go around saying shit like "Fouette is calling me at my house!"... "fouette is lying, she is making up sources"... "Fouette is after me, she's an attack dog". Seriosuly people, how long is this channel for baseless accusations by persons possibly in going to be left open?HappyValleyEditor (talk) 02:56, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By my count, they haven't said anything in roughly 18 hours. If it resumes I would be willing to revoke talkpage access, but if not then that would just be punitive. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 02:59, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

HappyValleyEditor, you need to dial down the rhetoric, and also focus on something else. Failing to do both of those things will end up in you shooting yourself in the foot. As The Wordsmith says, Fouette hasn't posted in a while. And they posts she did make here are simply more proof that she is Carriearchdale, because the posts match the spasms of nonsense that Carriearchdale posted in the latter days of her existence. Softlavender (talk) 03:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Softlavender, I saw you swearing in the ANI multiple times, and I saw you at ANI making statements that something is "batshit crazy" and many other outrageous statements. If I want to point out that an editor has erroneously claimed that I am harassing them on the telephone, that would be my right. Have a lovely evening, and happy editing. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 03:22, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not your right to use such language about an editor you have had frequent conflicts with, who is now blocked, and whose articles you are now targeting. You are also too inexperienced to know what is appropriate on Wikipedia (and when/how) and what is not. You are a very WP:INVOLVED party here and need to step back. You can either take the advice we have given you, or not. Softlavender (talk) 03:30, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The prod was removed by another editor. At least two editors have commented at the Talk page and/or in edit summaries that the herpetologist is clearly notable, in their view. I came here myself because I saw the PROD notice here on my Watchlist, and I was going to remove it on basis that IMO it is unfair/inappropriate to be SPEEDYing, or PRODing, or AFDing anything while the involved editor is blocked. I don't understand why Fouette is currently blocked, either, and I commented about that at the ongoing SPI investigation. Currently I believe that Fouette should be unblocked. If unblocked, then it would be okay for someone to open an AFD for a full discussion I guess. --doncram 02:07, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram: Leaving her blocked is necessary. Even if she isn't a sock (which is unlikely, the evidence is good), she still would probably get some type of block, due to her harassment of HappyValleyEditor, and I see no reason to let her edit freely, as she will be disruptive (as the long, convoluted "Notes to self" below are good evidence for being disruptive).

@Fouetté, although editors do not really get to vote on whether to revoke Talk page access of a blocked user, they do have a point. I suggest you stop recording all of these comments on your Talk page. It's fairly easy to store them on your computer so you don't lose your thoughts, and this page is getting unwieldy, cluttered as it is with long section headers for each set of quoted comments and followed by the comments.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:35, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

   mention that Wordsmith conducted an informal investigation, with this diff that contains no evidence. But that is just a diff where Wordsmith states their conclusion, without evidence!
   Editor User:Elektrik Fanne above states they were immediately convinced by seeing Maybeparaphrased's first posting somewhere that they must be the same person as Fouette, but Elekrik Fanne provides no diffs at all for anyone else to compare. And in fact Elektrik Fanne gives no explanation why they are convinced. This is not evidence.
   Editor user:The Wordsmith mentions "a rather ominous warning (bordering on a threat)" with a diff, but Wordsmith themself has used administrative revdel tool to eliminate the purported near-threat, so I for one cannot see that.
   Editor user:Winkelvi, who did see the purported near-threat, comments above that it could be interpreted differently, not as a threat, and even Wordsmith agrees.
   Editor User:Softlavender asserts "There is abundant circumstantial evidence that Carriearchdale (aka Fouette) created sleeper accounts" but their evidence is non-sensical. Their "evidence" is that Carriearchdale's account was created in November 2007 but Carriearchdale did not edit until 2014. I will believe without checking that Carriearchdale did not edit until 2014, but a) so what and b) where is any shred of evidence that Carriearchdale created any other accounts?

   Doncram, you wrote, "Wordsmith blocked Fouette for appearing to be a sockpuppet of Carriearchdale, and that has been found to be incorrect". How did you come to that conclusion? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 10:01 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)

           That it has been found to be incorrect is my summary view, based on what I explain: I see no evidence, and purported evidence is not evidence, and if I understand correctly the checkuser check found no association (maybe just because the Carriearchdale account is stale). I should add that I used the Editor interaction utility for a while to look for similarities of their edits when they edited the same page, and I saw no similarity of the edits. Also the interactions showed nearest time of editing the same place was one year, I think. The bad kind of sockpuppeting is when an editor creates false support of their position in a discussion by having an apparently independent editor agree with them. That cannot ever have occurred because they never edited the same discussion.
           Your point may be that technically it is a logical leap that I am making to go from "no evidence" to "assertion is incorrect", but I happen to think that is the conclusion we should reach. Along the lines of "A person is innocent until proven guilty", which is how the criminal justice system in my country (the U.S.) is supposed to work, and then "Innocent" follows from "not proven guilty".
           BTW, I also meant to say I have no association with Fouette at all that I know of until a few days ago, and then it is only minimal association. (I was pinged when they quoted me at ANI about an AFD, then we had minimal interaction clarifying about that, and I noticed Fouette did me a small favor of approving an article at AFC for me. The AFC would have been approved soon anyhow. I suppose they browsed my contributions and saw that the article was obviously approvable. Likewise I browsed a bit more about Fouette's activity, and the block, and found my way to this SPI.) I am an independent observer looking at this SPI, and I just see nothing here. --doncram 10:29 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)

It's hard to watch this free-for-all and not comment. Users are drawing all sorts of inferences on very little data. I'm assuming that The Wordsmith is correct when they state that Carrie said somewhere they were editing from the Pacific time zone (which, btw, is a fairly large area), but I don't know how they can know (a) that the IP geolocates to the Seattle area or (b) what part of the world Fouette is editing from. With wireless providers like T-Mobile geolocates are largely illusory. Nor will you necessarily find services that supposedly identify location agree. For example, db-IP says that the IP in question is located in Bellevue, whereas geolocate itself says that the IP is located in Norton, Massachusetts, a couple of thousand miles away. As for Fouette, not being a CU, The Wordsmith can't possibly know where that user is editing from. I think that the inference is simply an extrapolation from the behavioral evidence. If the behavioral evidence is persuasive that Fouette is a sock of Carrie, then they must be editing from the same location. Sorry folks, but it doesn't work that way. Mind you, I'm not objecting to the block of Fouette. I have not read the behavioral evidence presented at ANI. But technically people should be more careful about drawing conclusions that aren't based on facts. You folk can now go back to your lively discussion, although I'm not sure how much value it is to the socking issues.--Bbb23 (talk) 6:45 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)
