== Following up ==

Hi Nishkid.  You turned down my request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Shustov]] on the basis of drop dead WP:DUCK obviousness (which I'm fine with).  Now I've got another IP editor who's making the same revert to the same article, in the same way, and with the same lack of discussion. I still haven't had any (logged-in) response from {{checkuser|Shustov}} to pointed requests to discuss the issue.

While I still suspect that WP:DUCK holds, the new IP is from a different ISP.  The first revert ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earthquake_engineering&diff=prev&oldid=261162386]), yesterday, was from {{checkip|76.87.107.54}}, which whois says is a Road Runner IP.  The second IP revert ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earthquake_engineering&diff=prev&oldid=261293402]) comes from {{checkip|69.227.189.80}}, which is nominally owned by AT&T Internet Services.

Could I ask you to consider applying some of the CheckUser-brand Magic Wiki Pixie Dust™ to the situation now?  I don't know if this is just a user-at-home versus user-at-work issue, or if I'm dealing with multiple anons and need to call in the cavalry.

Many thanks, and happy new year! [[User:TenOfAllTrades|TenOfAllTrades]]([[User_talk:TenOfAllTrades|talk]]) 19:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Dear Nishkid64,

Wishing you a happy a new year, and very best wishes for 2009. Whether we were friends or not in the past year, I hope 2009 will be better for us both.

== [[User:Barracuda_the_song]] ==

This account was created immediately after I blocked [[User:Ontopofcosts]], and its first two edits were reversals of [[User:Algebraic123]]'s edits, i.e. a continuation of the edit war. Later you blocked [[User:Ontopofcosts]] indefinitely as a sock of [[User:Hkelkar]]. May I ask you check [[User:Barracuda_the_song]] as well?

I also noticed another interesting account [[User:Panunkashmir]], which may also need a CU. 

Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year! [[User:Ruslik0|Ruslik]] ([[User talk:Ruslik0|talk]]) 11:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
== Noah's Ark ==

Hi Nishikid. Thanks for your interest in the [[Noah's Ark]] article, but as a newcomer to it there is a certain amount of background you need to know. First, the section you say is about "scientific evaluation," isn't. It's about the literalist pov. I should know, because I wrote it. When I came to the article, about 2 years ago, it was entirely about the literalist pov - the whole article. You think that section is long now, well it was far longer then, and had no critical evaluation of the literalist pov whatsoever. So a group of us cut the literalism right back and added a lot about the treatment of the Ark as a piece of literature. And that's what the Ark really is, literature. Religious literature, but literature. Right now I'm trying to add something about modern biblical criticism of the story, but to do that I need to cut back the literalism section so that the two will be about the same size. Otherwise, the idea that the Ark is real will just continue to dominate the article, to the exclusion of other points of view.

Good job on this RFCU Nish, but as he's in a RFAR now, we've decided on a conditional unblock. I posted this on his talk page: "You have been unblocked by arbcom but are limited to participation in your arbcom case pages, own user page, and own user talk page.

== Suggestion at [[Noah's Ark]] involving you ==

Hi. I've made a suggestion at [[Noah's Ark]] that you should be asked to revise the section/subsections on literalism. I did this because I understood you to have earlier expressed an interest, and because, as a new-comer, you'll be outside the mutual antagonisms that infest the page and its editors. But I thought I better tell you about it and not let it come as a complete surprise. [[User:PiCo|PiCo]] ([[User talk:PiCo|talk]]) 03:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

== [[Dharmasthala]] ==

Can you restore the Aticle lead to Normal before edit-warring.....
'''Dharmasthala''' ({{langx|kn|ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ}}) to '''Dharmasthala''' ([[Tulu language|Tulu]], {{langx|kn|ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ}})

As per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dharmasthala&diff=261257074&oldid=261110454 [[User:C21K|C21K]] was the first one to remove Tulu. Actually, [[South Canara]] is diferent from Karnataka. The dominant language is Tulu there, and not Kannada as the rest of K'taka. [[Dharmasthala]] has been a holy town for Mangaloreans since many centuries. Tulu has a lot of significance for the temple town. [[User:C21K|C21K]] claims that he visited the town and found it's a city only for Kannadigas and hence removed Tulu. What nonsense is this? Does Wikpedia work on oral statements or does it work on published reliable sources. Unless and unless it is proved that it's a town only for Kannadigas, may I request you to restore the article to normal and readd Tulu. Thanks, [[User:Kensplanet|<span style="color:red;">'''Kensplanet'''</span>]][[User talk:Kensplanet|<b style="color:black;"><sup>T</sup></b>]][[Special:Contributions/Kensplanet|<b style="color:green;"><sub>C</sub></b>]] 06:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:The above guy is tulu fanatic. Tulu was first added on Dec 22,2008 by some IP [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dharmasthala&diff=259557631&oldid=258135807 check here], i was in wikibreak at that time. from the date of creation of this article till Dec22,2008 no one added tulu there. but on dec22 some IP added tulu in it without providing Relliable source.

::Tulu is not a local language of dharmasthala [http://www.bangaloremirror.com/index.aspx?page=article&sectid=38&contentid=2008101620081016205847295aa4c16ed click here]. Dharmasthala is a temple not a place. Dharmasthala is a holy temple for Shiva worshippers not for mangalooreans alone(POV statement by Kensplanet). and the above user failed to prove his POV. and he assumes that tulu is local language of dharmasthala and refuses to provide reliable source for his claim. Please check the above source which i provided, in languages spoken section tulu is not mentioned there. when i provided this source in dharmasthala talkpage , kensplanet says it is a dumb reference .because he dont know that newspaper is published by worlds largest publisher [[Times of India]].

:::The above user says Dharmasthala(temple) is in south canara, tulu is dominant language there, so it should be placed there. it sounds like churches and mosques are in Karnataka since many centuries, kannada is dominant language in karnataka and so kannada should be mentioned. This is surely POV statement. I request you to deny the above users request. Thanks [[User:C21K|<font color = "Red">'''C'''</font><font color = "Yellow">'''21'''</font><font color = "Red">'''K'''</font>]][[User talk:C21K|<em style="font family:Verdana; color:Black"><sup>talk</sup></em>]] 12:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:In that case, please check (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dharmasthala&diff=229968943&oldid=229968825). Even Kannada was recently added on 5 August 2008 by a IP. Kannada was not present before 5 August. On what basis was Kannada added then? Did anyone provide a reliable source. Really Kannada fanatics like C21K and other people are spoiling all Mangalore and South Canara related articles by unnecessarily adding Kannda. Dharmastala is in South Canara where the dominant language is Tulu. So by default we assume the local languge to be Tulu. Suppose you create an article on a Portuguese town, by default you also add Portuguese. You won't add French there. Regarding http://www.bangaloremirror.com/index.aspx?page=article&sectid=38&contentid=2008101620081016205847295aa4c16ed it just mentions the languages used for religious and commercial purposes. It has no relation with native tongues. Dharmastala has been for centuries been in South Canara and is influenced by Tulu.

::Well before I say much I must admit I don't have clinching evidence...99.99% the two may be unrelated (actually maybe from totally different countries! ie. ''India and South Korea''). However, I suspect there may be a connection as [[:user:Lakshmix]] who seems to work mostly South Korea articles added this image to [[India]] article [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=India&diff=258887590&oldid=258583377 here] a not so positive image of Indian economy and later mass changes were made to the economy section by {{user1|Lalit Jagannath}} who made this interesting edit comment [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=India&diff=260192079&oldid=260181309 the two sentences contradict each other. absolute figures explain the situation without ambiguity. "a large pool of educated" is deceiving, '''india''' is not quite a '''south korea''' yet.]. well thats all I can say. I know it can be a co-incidence and I am just imagining too much.

== Bayrak ==

Thanks for all your help with him. At the moment, his drive by IP reversions are a minor annoyance; he seems to change one or two things a day that can easily be reverted. However, he seems to have a vendatta against me. His last reversion was of a redirect i  did for an article that followed a "merge" AfD; this AfD was a little heated and involved a number of new users. I'm concerned if he reverts this again it could lead to drama. The diff is here: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Obadiah_School_of_the_Bible&curid=20514278&diff=263505850&oldid=263493420]]. If you have a second when your online would appreciate semi so that IPs can't edit that redirect.

== I am confused ==

I recently went to edit and did not notice that I was not logged in. I found that my IP address (162.83.128.0/17 according to the notice. I'm not really technical, so I couldn't say.) was disabled by you until next Thursday because something called "CheckUser" determined it has been used abusively. I was a little surprised that this was all it said (it seems to me that notifying someone of what they did that was considered abuse - the charges against them - is just minimal decency) and I honestly can't recall ever doing anything anyone could regard as abusive. It isn't really a problem for me as my registered account is not blocked and I always edit and talk from there (except occasionally when I absentmindedly failed to notice I was not signed in) anyway. But I am wondering why I was blocked? If I did something that is considered abusive, I would like to know specifically what so that I can watch my behavior (or alternately, challenge the characterization) in the future.

Although I am not the only person who has ever had access to this machine, it is not public (it is in my home), and it seems unlikely (though admittedly not impossible) that someone else used it in an abusive manner. Do IP addresses change? I have several problems with my ISP account and to reset various things on the computer. Are you sure you are talking about me?

On another note, I would like to recommend that the notices and "what to do" and "how to appeal sections be rewritten. The directions are not at all comprehensible and when I tried to follow them found that as a blocked IP - you can't (at least I couldn't). I know that all the technical vols. are way overworked, but it might be an idea to just put a simple button for "appeal" on the notice. 162.83.175.178 (talk) 22:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

(When I tried to post the above, it gave me an error message and said that it could not process the edit.  It also kicked me out so I was signed by my IP rather than my user account.  So I am reposting.  Sorry if this appears twice as a result, but at least it will have my registered name.)  [[User:TheCormac|TheCormac]] ([[User talk:TheCormac|talk]]) 22:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

== Sockpuppeter's harassment ==

Hi, Nishkid64. As you checked on [[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Eichikiyama]] and range-blocked underlying IPs of the Sockpuppeter for 3 month, could you look at another sockpuppet named {{Userblocked|Pkakita}} who self-claims as {{User|210.175.255.217}}? The IP is designated to internet cafe in Japan, and the sock has appears to avoid scrutiny after the blocking. Now the IP user creates his account, {{User|Pkakita}} and I believe this one is the same as Eichikiyama, Azukimonaka or other indef.blocked Sockpuppeter given the timing and same writing patterns. The sockpuppeter has been harassing me based on my ethnicity rather focusing on arguments. That can be seen at [[Talk:History of Japan#Caspian blue's Proposal]] and [[Talk:History of Japan#Caspian blue's Proposal (the second)]]. 

I aso found that the way of argument and format are very similar to 
*[[Talk:Kofun period#Korean's hypothesis]] by {{Userblock|Kamosuke}} (indef.blocked and I believe he is Azukimonaka)
*[[Talk:Kofun period#To Spamer of Korean]] by {{Userblock|KoreanShoriSenyou}} (indef.blocked Azukimonaka's sock)
*[[Talk:Kofun period#Talk:Rebuttal against Appletrees]] by {{Userblock|Princesunta}}(Appletrees is my former name and he was indef.blocked for obvious socking and harassment against me

Could you take a look at this? Thanks.--[[User talk:Caspian blue|'''Caspian''' blue]] 14:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
== Rebuttal to Caspian blue ==

Caspian blue is demanding to add "The ancient Japanese emperors was Korean descendant" to the 
history of Japan. To the best my knowleg, His insistence is not common sense of the history of Japan. I requested him to present grounds of the insistence. He said "Could you provide diffs that I insisted that "Ancient Japan was being ruled by Korean."? Many scholars claim as such though. I think I restored your blanking of "rulers of Japan seems to be Korean descendants". Anyway, don't worry. I'm preparing something to please for you. Well, here is just for a quick preview." And, he presented a lot of sources. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:History_of_Japan#Harassment_and_sockpuppetry_by_IP_user_and_Pkakita]
I reviewed this source one by one. His sources were not all "peer-reviewed". [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:History_of_Japan#Caspian_blue.27s_Proposal_.28the_second.29]
I expected the next step of the discussion. However, he did not object. Instead, he said to me "sockpueppter","racist attack","clear harassment". 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:History_of_Japan#Harassment_and_sockpuppetry_by_IP_user_and_Pkakita]
 
[[Imperial House of Japan]] is a Japanese symbol. I think that I should carefully discuss this problem. Can you mediate him? --[[User:Pkakita|Pkakita]] ([[User talk:Pkakita|talk]]) 11:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
:Nope, {{User|Pkakita}} is the one distorting my words, and has attacked me from the first because I'm Korean, and contents regarding Korean blood line which was inserted by somebody and I don't see any problem at all is not favoring his support of the fringe theory that ancient Japan ruled some part of Korea. Pkakita also mispresents that those claim are "my proposal" and denounced every sources that I brought up. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pkakita&diff=prev&oldid=265071221 Pkakita admits him/herself as a sockpuppeter of the Ip address designated in an internet cafe] {{User|210.175.255.217}}, which constitutes "sock". He even quotes and said the same to indef.blocked sock's argument. On contrary to his registered date, and appearance, his "new user" knows many complex Wiki rules and request a RFC. Pkakita also forum shopping to editors to gain his side. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:History_of_Japan&diff=prev&oldid=263783947 Pkakita threatens me to report to Administrators] even though two admins already visited and commented the page. One admin said he has no problem with the content that Pkakita dislikes so much. Moreover he has attacked me with his following so-called proposal based on my ethnicity which is a "racist attack". [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:History_of_Japan&diff=next&oldid=265272529 Even another user erased Pkakita's such attack from the RFC]. Nevertheless, I request the Checkusedr to examine the account, Pkakita for the suspicious circumstance and same writing habit of "being written" and "Rebuttal to Sombody". I also demand Pkakita to retract his attacks against me from the talk page. --[[User talk:Caspian blue|'''Caspian''' blue]] 19:02, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
