Flauw

Hoi,

Wat flauw hoor als je kritiek krijgt of iemand het niet met je eens is om ze dan te blokkeren en te verbannen. Of als mod een editwar te beginnen. Je zou een voorbeeldfunctie moeten hebben!

Groet.

Sterkebaktalk 13:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you have been blocked for six hours time out by me and then as a follow up since you kept going in a very unconstructive way three days on wiki-nl by a colleague for disruptive behavior. I do hope you can take the advice given by me on your talk page at heart and that we can again welcome you once your block period is over. Another piece of advice - do not transfer problems you have on wiki-nl to meta. MoiraMoira 16:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Spijtbetuiging

Beste MoiraMoira,

Vandaag heb ik een mail gestuurd met mijn spijtbetuiging.

Hopende erop dat dit op prijs wordt gesteld,

Met vriendelijke groet,

MMaerkk 18:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Please check your part

Hi, I've added you name here. Please check your details there (the babel, IRC nick, and active from section), and include if any of the information is not included yet or added wrongfully. Thanks for your help. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 08:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Accounts issue

Hi Moira! I'd like to ask you a little favor that would help me to resolve an imbroglio. I'm trying to usurp a bunch of accounts some people created with the same name as mine (Striker) but never edited or did made a few edits then abandoned their accounts (more details). The Dutch Wikipedia is one of the involved projects. I should request the account usurpation through this page, but I'm not able to as it requires me to be logged in to edit the page. For such I'd need to create another account with a different name, and I don't wish to as I've been always personally against sock puppets. Could you write the request there for me?

Regards, Striker ^talk 05:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Striker, I passed your request along to a local bureaucrat on nl-wiki here. Kind regards, MoiraMoira 17:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Striker, I was addressed here by MoiraMoira. I have put your request on nl-wiki. In Dutch, so you might be unable to read it. It says that the Dutch user Striker is asked if he objects to usurping of his account. This request can be found here. The Dutch user Striker is given two weeks to react. After this period the account can be taken over. I might be on wikibreak (holidays) by then, in which case I hope one of the other bureaucrats will take the necessary actions. Kind regards, Lymantria 19:18, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the help. Regards, Striker ^talk 20:50, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Why did you do that: [1]?

Please see your talk page for the explanation. You mis used sockpuppets to continue detrimental editing cross wiki. MoiraMoira 13:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

about nl:Categorie:Jurist? hm... --Brox 13:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

About many many things you did and redid misusing sockpuppets in the process as well. Please read your talk page and act wisely. MoiraMoira 17:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

You do not write about nl:Categorie:Jurist... Your statement is contrary to the logic of (legal). --Brox 18:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Why should I? You edited without knowledge of the language without insight in the existing legal cats structure and made mistakes. When asked to stop you did not. Instead you continued with sockpuppets repeatedly. I am very sorry but when you do continue you leave me no other option than ask for measures. I did so hope you would clean up your act and assumed good will, even when seeing you hold admin ship with two different accounts on three different wikiversion... MoiraMoira 18:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

nl:Categorie:Jurist - nl:Categorie:Advocaat nl:Categorie:Rechter ‎ nl:Categorie:Notaris ‎ - you made mistakes... --Brox 06:55, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Warning

[2] is completely unacceptable. You appear to be using meta to carry on a dispute with a user on your home wiki, where he was, at most, a very minor user, attempting to hold his very active admin account on his different home wiki hostage, to coerce him into complying with your demands. That is cross-wiki abuse, carrying a dispute from one wiki elsewhere. You have filed [3] with completely inadequate evidence to justify a global lock, and you have filed an RfC with nothing more than the inadequate evidence you provided in the global lock request, plus some comments from the lock request. It is offensive to copy comments from one location to another, comments are made in context and would not necessarily be made in another. Your copying makes it appear that those users commented in your RfC. This is disruptive. Please stop. --Abd 15:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

It seems you have been on vacation, I hope you have been enjoying it.

Because stewards reviewed the checkuser information on Brox/Dendrolo/Redagavimas -- acknowledged alternate accounts -- and found that the socking alleged here hadn't happened, that the original report was misleading, in that it reported "geolocation" as if it were "positive" or "probable," when geolocation under the circumstances is very weak, I went around and posted a correction to all the messages I found you had posted on various wikis about the nl.wiki incidents, which included citation of the original meta checkuser report that has been reviewed and corrected. Given that one of the three checkuser reports was explicit that the identification of Dendrolo with other socks was based on "the same mobile operator," which is similarly weak, if there is no user agent confirmation, you might consider the possibility that nl.wiki went too far, and that an indef block for what was, at core, one day of dispute, might be too much. Will you consider that? Thanks. --Abd 22:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Abd, I just returned from vacation indeed. I saw in the mean time other people also reported more socks and indeed - the cu results from nl-wiki were based on both IP data and user agant information so quite specific results. As for the RFC I followed advice and how to do this suggestions from two stewards I consulted about this difficult case before acting and notified the user also everywhere but was really straightforwrd since it was problematic editing cross wiki resulting in damage everywhere alas and the user was adressed several times by several people already. Kind regards. MoiraMoira 09:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

There are two separate issues, MoiraMoira. There are the acknowledged socks, B/D/R. These were, I believe, acknowledged quite a while ago and, of course, checkuser on them does come up with full ID, including user agent. It's all the other claimed socks that are shaky, with weak identification. I studied all the checkuser reports, and that's clear.(See [4], especially what is in collapse) A few of the reports were simply unclear, so it is not impossible that user agent matched, but in almost every case the reports were explicit as to the identification basis, and for the other alleged socks it was "geolocation" or "same mobile operator," and so the checkuser might say something like "probable." Which is very weak, and when I look at some of the socks, behaviorally they are quite different from Brox. However, this is all a distraction. I warned you about your behavior. Because of a problem at nl.wiki, you went cross-wiki -- and here -- and posted notices on Brox user pages, cross-wiki, that amount to personal attacks. That is "cross-wiki disruption," in itself.

A basic problem here has to do with the consequences of SUL integration. The Brox accounts are old, I think they predate SUL, though I'm not sure about that. When SUL came along, if accounts haven't been unified, if a user ends up with multiple SUL accounts, which is pretty easy to do, the user may then, through global log-in, be already logged in to a wiki, and it might be a different account than what he normally uses there. So edits may accumulate using different accounts. I've strongly suggested to Brox that he make the identification of his SUL accounts crystal-clear, and he's stated an intention to do that, and more, he wants to create a single name that he can use on all the wikis. That will take some time and work.

Brox, as Dendrolo, clearly made a serious mistake on nl.wiki, he failed to respond to requests to stop, because he believed he was "right." That can happen, sometimes, to the best of us. He was properly short-blocked, but the original block was only for 15 minutes, which was just about useless. From my understanding of good administrative practice, he should have been blocked for 24 hours minimum. If that didn't work, for 3 days, or maybe a week, etc. Instead it was from 15 minutes to indef/user talk page access not allowed. As an admin, I'd be looking to develop cooperation. There was another problem at nl.wiki: you had a content disagreement with him. You enforced your position. That's a set-up for him to believe that you are biased. I'd highly recommend being very clear about content decisions (whether or not a category is appropriate, in this case) and behavioral decisions (whether or not a user is unresponsive to consensus or policy). By mixing the two, by arguing with him that his content was bad, and then acting personally with respect to blocks, you set up conditions for him to disregard your warnings and blocks as biased. It won't be the first time this has happened!

As to the RfC, you were advised by a steward that if you want to globally lock an established user, particularly an active administrator, you'd need an RfC first. You were not actually advised to file one, nor was your actual filing what any steward would advise, it was just a copy of your unsuccessful global lock request, with some copied comments, and that looks like forum-shopping. To file a real RfC, that could do some good, you'd need much more evidence and careful analysis. You showed, in particular, no actual "cross-wiki disruption," and the evidence is clear to me, I've spent some days with this, that the only cross-wiki disruption out of this has been fallout from your own actions (and those of others on nl.wiki or largely coming from nl.wiki). Brox is only blocked on nl.wiki, and while there are a couple of blocks of the other two Brox SUL accounts, they are clearly a result of the nl.wiki action and CU here, without any actual local disruption. Generally, the accounts had not been editing!

Please be careful. Good luck. --Abd 17:20, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, can't do much with the above long texts- when you want to solve the problems at hand be my guest, otherwise I hope you take care and perhaps can be a wee bit less judgemental next time you involve yourself in a problem and adress some one else out of the blue. My advice to you is become part of the solution at least. Kind regards, MoiraMoira 01:36, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Take-home summary: checkuser of Brox/Dendrolo/Regadavimas came up positive because these are legitimate SUL accounts of the same user. Some socks were positive as socks of each other. Connection with B/D/R was weak, not IP/User agent, just same geolocation or service provider. No cross-wiki disruption from Brox. Some from you. It's been handled, as long as it isn't reasserted. And thanks. --Abd 02:19, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

AlexLevyOne / Albion

Hello,

My name is Alexandre Gilbert. I would like to clean my name and try to make my virtual-life a better world. Is it possible ? Since I'm an art dealer and this whole information appearing online do not help me :)

French editors invited me on their talk page as fr:Utilisateur:Starus, fr:Utilisateur:Elfix, fr:Utilisateur:Hégéssipe Cormier or en:User:JohninDC and en:User:Deor in the US, before blocking me.

Is there a protocol program for people whose life was trolled for years, is it considered kidnapping, identity usurpation, virtual bashing or psychological harassment ?

I tried to ask en:User:Dennis Brown personnaly, considered to be the sockuppet specialist, who answered me :"YAWN". I also asked Hégéssipe Cormier whose answer was "Je flingue d'abord, je discute ensuite" (litteraly, "I shoot first and than I talk").

I listed three persons being in charge of the ALO/Albion file who are Hégéssipe Cormier in France. John in Dc and Deor in the States and you on the Metapedia.

What happens when a private comes to you with his own name to clean his life. I asked them if i needed a lawyer and they answered if you talk to the Justice we will have to block you.

Thank you for your answer.

Lack of user pages

Hi MoiraMoira!

As I have seen here, you used your GS bit on a wiki without having created a user page locally, though this is required by policy. Please catch up on that before somebody complains. :-) Cheers, Vogone talk 17:28, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

I know, usually when doing cross wiki vandalism issues I immediately create one. This must have slipped through. Done now. Thanx for the heads up. MoiraMoira (talk) 20:29, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Enquiry on the matter of User:TDKR Chicago 101

Hello MoiraMoira,

it has come to the attention of some of my colleagues and I that you have blocked this user on 13 wikis, with varying reasons (mainly "Spam" and "Cross-wiki issues") for principally creating stubs across multiple projects. Please note that stubs are not spam, and they are not unwelcome. There is nothing wrong with the creation of stubs, and we most definitively do not block users for creating stubs.

This user seems to be a constructive contributor that means well, and most definitively your characterization of "adding stub pages without content only a picture or with a short english sentence only crosswiki" is quite inaccurate, as I have seen lots and lots of stubs with no English content whatsoever. If there is an issue with the user's edits, the user should be contacted about them, not out of the blue blocked after 6 months of performing such edits. In this case, the user seems to maintain an active presence on the Simple English Wikipedia, and any issues should be raised there (you contacted the user there but did not await a response before blocking). I have unblocked the user and I am of course interested in hearing your reasoning for blocking. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 15:19, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, you're missing a userpage on ig:User:MoiraMoira. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 15:33, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello Snowolf, userpage created. The resaons of deletion were no useful content; not in the project language or incorrect, nor article content, wrong picture, wrong words, no words at all you name it. I notified the user on his talkpage on his home wiki version. Not all the blocks local were mine by the way so I trust you will also notify the colleagues who blocked him before I did on some wikiversions. I hope he will clean up his act now you unblocked him. Won't go there anymore for the time being. Kind regards, MoiraMoira (talk) 15:41, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, na:User:MoiraMoira too. Yes, he had created stubs with no content but pictures and name of the subject. But is that a reason to block his account at another wiki where he hasn't edited for a long time or at a wiki where there was only one edit by that user? As for the block at gvwiki, that was by a local sysop after several warnings. nawiki block was, as the block reason states, due to "creating useless articles not in Nauruan". --Glaisher (talk) 16:30, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello again Moira. I did not ask for the reasons for deletions, tho those could also be discussed. I am very concerned about the reasons for the blocks, as the ones provided in the logs are factually incorrect and the blocks were issued without any warnings to the user, without allowing for a chance for them to explain themselves and weeks or months after the user's last edits to the various projects. The so-called notification you issued to the user is dated from today, a full day after some of the earlier blocks and This is not how a global sysop ought to act, and it is very concerning to me to see you don't seem to understand the problem with your actions. (note that those who blocked him before you did so almost a year ago, in different circumstances, and mostly dealing with the socking issues on enwiki). Now allow me to provide a detailed summary of what happened:

I note the following summary:

In none of these wiki was the user spamming. I listed the most recent edits for these wikis as they appear kosher to me. Please note that there is no global policy prohibiting short articles/stubs, and these do appear to be translated. Obviously, I don't speak the specific languages and so I cannot check on whether it is indeed the correct language or not, but they certainly appear to be. Please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but as it looks to me, none of these blocks are even remotely appropriate. If you had any concerns about this user's activity, politely contacting them would have been the correct avenue, blocking them was not. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 17:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply and feedback. You are right. Blocking without warning was not a good idea I have learned this now and won't act this way anymore. Thank you for your unblocking. Kind regards, MoiraMoira (talk) 21:01, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Superprotect letter update

Hi MoiraMoira,

Along with more hundreds of others, you recently signed Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer, which I wrote.

Today, we have 562 signatures here on Meta, and another 61 on change.org, for a total of 623 signatures. Volunteers have fully translated it into 16 languages, and begun other translations. This far exceeds my most optimistic hopes about how many might sign the letter -- I would have been pleased to gain 200 siguatures -- but new signatures continue to come.

I believe this is a significant moment for Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Very rarely have I seen large numbers of people from multiple language and project communities speak with a unified voice. As I understand it, we are unified in a desire for the Wikimedia Foundation to respect -- in actions, in addition to words -- the will of the community who has built the Wikimedia projects for the benefit of all humanity. I strongly believe it is possible to innovate and improve our software tools, together with the Wikimedia Foundation. But substantial changes are necessary in order for us to work together smoothly and productively. I believe this letter identifies important actions that will strongly support those changes.

Have you been discussing these issues in your local community? If so, I think we would all appreciate an update (on the letter's talk page) about how those discussions have gone, and what people are saying. If not, please be bold and start a discussoin on your Village Pump, or in any other venue your project uses -- and then leave a summary of what kind of response you get on the letter's talk page.

Finally, what do you think is the right time, and the right way, to deliver this letter? We could set a date, or establish a threshold of signatures. I have some ideas, but am open to suggestions.

Thank you for your engagement on this issue, and please stay in touch. -Pete F (talk) 18:20, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
