[edit] Quick question regarding NRHP

Hey, quick question. I've recently created Strawberry Hill (Rhinebeck, New York) with plans to eventually expand it, but I'm unable to find the NRHP reference number. Is there a standard source for that? Looking forward to working on the TSP, BTW, when I get a bit more free time to start researching it. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 62.68.174.243

"Insufficient activity"? Please have a look at the revision history of ITER. There have been nine identical vandalous edits - with the first back in November of this year - and three of which were in the last 24 hours. Just because the vandalism was not reported until this morning should not be taken as a reason to allow this repeated behavior. -RadicalOne---Contact Me 18:44, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MetroStar

Hi there. I wanted to follow up on the AIV request I made regarding MetroStar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log).

I gather that sysops are somewhat constrained as far as when they can block a user relative to how fresh their vandalism is, and with respect to how frequently they've been warned.

I'm wondering how best to deal with users such as this one, who appear to be gaming the system. By conducting their vandalism at off-peak hours and on poorly monitored pages, they are able to avoid consequences because their edits can fly under the radar for hours without notice. Further, despite a history of edits that include little more than vandalism, they are able to disguise themselves as good-faith editors by blanking numerous warnings.

I've made a log of those warnings and posted it to the user's talk page in hopes that future admins will be able to see it, but do you have any suggestions for how to deal with editors like this?

Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

This block log does not jibe with your edit summary for this edit. Not sure which one of us is mistaken... TheJazzDalek (talk) 16:37, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Overlook Mountain

I was surprised to find that there's no article on this mountain - unless maybe it's listed under the name of the old mountain house up there? I have some pictures I could upload unless you're aware of any - mine would take a bit of editing to make them less touristy so probably something existing would be better.--otherlleft 22:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the one near Woodstock - I'm surprised your DYK machine hasn't found it yet.  ;) I'll see what pics I have and let you know when they're up - but I might have to wait until it's nice out to go back there and look at the tourist signs to start looking for sources.--otherlleft 01:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing you visit Commons enough that you don't need me to tell you I left a message for you there?--otherlleft 02:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I left myself a reminder to get some pictures in the spring. In the meantime I'm going to try to lay my hands on the book cited in Kaaterskill High Peak because it sounds like a good secondary source about the mountain itself. Given the unreferenced state of the Catskill Mountain House article, I don't know what sources might be out there about the hotel.--otherlleft 22:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I sent you an e-mail. --Tenmei (talk) 04:56, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Hi daniel

About SPI and AVI, I had a question to ask if you have the time. user:bonadea recently posted a string of three accounts which appeared to be socks by implanting 'joe castillo' in articles. My question is how to handle these doctor users correctly. [1] has already been created at long term abuse and the individual behind these is has been confirmed a sock puppeteer. Should myself and others report these accounts to AIV as they come, or should we go ahead with another SPI as you mentioned on the AIV page? The user though clearly has ways to circumnavigate blocks and persistantly is coming back every few weeks or so (even after a check user). I hope i was transparent with my wording, let me know if you need anything clarified, thanks for your time. Ottawa4ever (talk) 17:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm answering here since you indicate that you like conversations to remain together.

It sounds for this guy like you're going to need a rangeblock, which someone with checkuser will have to determine since there are only registered accounts involved. Or an open proxy block, which again will require checkuser.

We generally prefer, at AIV, that any suspected sock issues be dealt with at SPI if there hasn't been one already, and those that are posted at AIV be really obvious. Daniel Case (talk) 20:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Since you declined the first unblock request I was wondering if you wanted to weigh in on this. Thanks Valley2city^‽ 02:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

DELETED PAGE?

You deleted my content for HMCS Malahat, saying it was "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" - what is the diff between what I tried to post, and what HMCS Discovery has on their page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdnnavyhistorylover (talk • contribs) 22:48, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
