Viewed vs. Ranked

• The Beatles Viewed 3645716 times in 200908. This article ranked 150 in traffic on en vikipedia org.
• United States Viewed 1231839 times in 200908. This article ranked 25 in traffic on en.wikipedia org.

Hi Henrik, it would seem the traffic ranking is not related to the page viewing figures. What are the respective definition? Thanks. 3ig-350125 (talk) 23:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Bug report for stats.grok.se

User:Thinking of England and I recently came across an apparent bug on your Wikipedia article traffic statistics site at http://stats.grok.se. When entering any page that begins with a double quotation mark ("), the statistics show but the string does not appear in the input box. For example, ", "Ron" Paul, and "Weird Al" Yankovic all have this issue, whereas pages like ' and @Home do not. This may be an unfixable bug due to the nature of the " character in web-based code, but I thought you might be interested. On another note, I wanted to ensure that you are aware of the template {{stats.grok.se}}. Hopefully you'll return to Wikipedia editing soon so as to grace us with more of your innovations. --Zach425 ^talk/contribs 09:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I should add that the double quotation mark needn't be at the beginning, for instance Bob "Hound" Kelly while giving stats (the important part) looses the text from the first quotation mark on in the input box. Also, the link to the article in these cases is displayed correctly, but the link itself is broken, again loosing everything from the quotation mark on.

I think it was pointed out above that stats was case insensitive, while Wikipedia is sensitive to the case of article titles. Until you fix this, you might consider documenting that behavior at http://stats.grok.se/about -- particularly mentioning if the stats for articles differentiated only by case are combined in the results or not.

Thank you for stats.grok.se. It is a great asset. -- ToE^T 00:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Malayalam Wiki

Dear Sir,

Visited the Wikipedia article traffic statics utility. Thanks a lot for the fantastic tool. I would like to suggest you to include Malayalam (ml) in the language selection box.

The Malayalam Wikipedia is the Malayalam-language edition of Wikipedia,that was launched on December 21, 2002. Among wikipedias with at least 10,000 articles, the Malayalam wikipedia has the 4th largest (as of July 2009[update]) page depth following the English, Hebrew and Arabic wikipedias.

Presently I am able to check the statistics by simply changing the URL as http://stats.grok.se/ml/200908 followed by the article name. But it would be convenient if the language, Malayalam (ml) is added in the listbox.

regards, riyaz ahamed http://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ഉപയോക്താവ്:Riyaz_Ahamed —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riyaz Ahamed (talk • contribs) 15:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I would add that you should consider an alphabetical sub-ordering in the listbox. The current order appears to be totally based upon actual or expected usage rates of stats requests on the individual projects. For a list that long it might be worth leaving a few of the highest usage projects at the top and alphabetizing the rest, unless you want to just alphabetize them all. Thanks again. -- ToE^T 00:43, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

it would be better to order them alphabetically and keep English on the top if needed. thanks. Riyaz Ahamed (talk) 08:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

October 20 : stats not available

The stats are not available for October 20. Best regards.81.36.108.71 (talk) 14:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I think the stats are falling apart. For the (Dutch) stats of late the following are missing : 9/19, 9/21, 9/22, 9/23, 9/24, 9/25, 9/26, 9/27, 10/14, 10/15, 10/16, 10/19, 10/20, 10/21. Well, it's was fun when it lastest, but now they are gone. I sincerely want to thank User Hendrik for the stats in the past, it was fun to see how things that came in the press, newspapers and on television made an impact on these subjects on wikipedia - Ziyalistix (talk) 01:30, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually they appear to be available for October 20 now, but not October 21 and 22. Also missing here are (as mentioned above) October 14, 15 and 16. Stats for September 25, 26 and 27 are missing as well. It's awful not to have them available when you like looking at that sort of thing. :) Seriously though I had an article on DYK last week and wanted to find out how many hits there'd been, and I've created a couple of things this week which I'd also like to check the stats for. TheRetroGuy (talk) 11:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm presuming that the stats are all recorded, but not visible. They're here Parrot of Doom 15:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

There's been a few different causes for the missing stats over the last few weeks. The last couple of days are up now (the 20th is still processing, it'll be up in an hour or so), the problem was a full disk on the server. For the 14-16th of October, the raw data was missing for all or some of the day (if anything is missing for the day, I don't try to reconstruct the missing hours and just leave it empty). Same thing for the end of september, that was also a problem with the raw data.

I don't plan on taking the service down, and I plan on trying to maintain it - it's unfortunate that several different unrelated problems happened to occur so close together. henrik•talk 18:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Henrik - that's a relief to know! I don't think we can say too often how much this service is appreciated even if by 'geeks' like me who can't resist checking the stats on pages we've created or worked on.

Article view states by wikiproject

Is their a page that lists wikiproject articles by number of views? ThanksDoc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Sort of. There's the embryo of a service to list articles in a category by number of views. It will work for wikiproject categories as well. Now, there's a number of caveats:

• It doesn't have any easy navigation.
• It's slow, and has a high server load (I may have to disable or add logins to it if it grows too much).
• It'll only process the first 5000 articles in a category, so it doesn't work for large categories.
• It's not immediately updated with new daily data.

This URL for example will list Category:High-importance Sweden articles by number of views: http://stats2.grok.se/cat/High-importance_Sweden_articles. Replace the part after /cat/ in the URL with your own category. henrik•talk 07:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Henrik, I think your new tool is awesome! Only 2 simple details you should change right away: 1) change the page TITLE in the output and <title> tag (right now it's the same as your other stats tool); and 2) specify the TIMEFRAME of the statistics in the output (is it for the current month, last month?...)

Statistics in Alemannisch

Statistics on articles are helpful. Language Alemannisch could also be of interest.--Roland.h.bueb (talk) 15:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

All languages exist, even if they're not in the drop down menu. Replace the /en/ (english) part of the url with /als/ and you'll get the Alemannisch stats. Example. henrik•talk 08:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Ah, too bad. (yep, I did catch the reference, that's why I made the comment) I guess it can't be easy to come up with a Simpsons reference that hasn't been used. Nice article about Anna Bågenholm btw - I was half expecting it to be a somewhat dubious WP:BLP1E thing after just reading the first few sentences, but you've weaved together a very nice article about her, the incident and wider impact of hypothermia. henrik•talk 21:46, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I think the fact that she is still mentioned in the media, ten years after the incident, proves that she is notable. She has also played a rather important role in today's treatment of extreme hypothermia. Theleftorium 21:58, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

stats

Hello,

I have a question regarding ranks in statistics. Just found something like this: http://stats.grok.se/pl/200910/Nasza-klasa.pl Nasza-klasa.pl has been viewed 10721 times in 200910. This article ranked 129 in traffic on pl.wikipedia.org.

http://stats.grok.se/pl/200910/filmweb filmweb has been viewed 12196 times in 200910. This article ranked 589 in traffic on pl.wikipedia.org.

What's the proper rank of those articles? Is other data (how many times the article was viewed) ok? I would aprecciate if you could give me an explanation.

more stats

Everyone loves your visuals :-) I am talking to some folks at Google who are interested in providing clickthrough data for "top wikipedia articles clicked through on searches, for users in sub-saharan Africa". We are discussing ways to overlay that with data we have on {popular articles on sw:wp, popular en:wp articles in categories related to the region}.

Do you have thoughts on how you could display this sort of data from google on your stats site? ways to show popular articles within a category-select from domas's dataset? If you send me an email I could also add you directly to this thread. Regards, +sj+ 04:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Re-posted bug report

Thanks for all your efforts in hosting & maintaining stats.grok.se - it's a great tool! As you seem to be editing again, I'm re-posting the below bug reports from Thinking of England and me. Any insights? —Zach425 ^talk/contribs 15:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

User:Thinking of England and I recently came across an apparent bug on your Wikipedia article traffic statistics site at http://stats.grok.se. When entering any page that begins with a double quotation mark ("), the statistics show but the string does not appear in the input box. For example, ", "Ron" Paul, and "Weird Al" Yankovic all have this issue, whereas pages like ' and @Home do not. This may be an unfixable bug due to the nature of the " character in web-based code, but I thought you might be interested. On another note, I wanted to ensure that you are aware of the template {{stats.grok.se}}. Hopefully you'll return to Wikipedia editing soon so as to grace us with more of your innovations. --Zach425 ^talk/contribs 09:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I should add that the double quotation mark needn't be at the beginning, for instance Bob "Hound" Kelly while giving stats (the important part) looses the text from the first quotation mark on in the input box. Also, the link to the article in these cases is displayed correctly, but the link itself is broken, again loosing everything from the quotation mark on.

I think it was pointed out above that stats was case insensitive, while Wikipedia is sensitive to the case of article titles. Until you fix this, you might consider documenting that behavior at http://stats.grok.se/about -- particularly mentioning if the stats for articles differentiated only by case are combined in the results or not.

Thank you for stats.grok.se. It is a great asset. -- ToE^T 00:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I think I've fixed the quote issue now, many thanks for reporting the problem! Please test and see if you find any lingering issues. Nope, I didn't know about the template (I like it). I'll add something about case sensitivity to the about page, that's a good idea.

Wanting to ad some pictures...

Hi again Henrik. Thank you for the kind welcome. (by the way, how did you always know where I were :S ?)

This is the case: I wanted to ad two (or maybe three) pictures of some important/famous places in Copenhagen. I wanted to ad them on the Copenhagen wiki:page and the Denmark wiki:page, but couldn't quite crack it. Actually, I don't even think it's possible for a wiki-noob like me to ad pictures, is it?

Anyway, if you want to, tell me if you agree, and maybe explain to me how I ad them (If it's possible).

1. On the Copenhagen page, there's a picture of Christiansborg Palace with the text: "Christiansborg Palace - home of the Danish Parliament Folketinget, the Supreme Court, Office of the Prime Minister and official reception area of Queen Margrethe II". The picture is relevant as the palace is relevant, just though that these two pictures were much better:

http://z.about.com/d/goscandinavia/1/0/B/6/-/-/christiansborg-visitdk.jpg http://www.bjarkeoersted.dk/images/reportage/christiansborg.jpg

There is also a picture of Kongens Nytorv with the text: "Kongens Nytorv". Again, relevant, but the picture is of bad quality and not very clear (doesn't really show that it's square). I though this might be better:

http://www.cruisingfromcopenhagen.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dangleterre-exterior.jpg

2. On the Denmark page, there is no picture of Christianborg at all, nor a picture of Kongen Nytorv. It's pretty essential places in Denmark, so I thougt they should be at least shown. Same pictures could be used here.

Under Geography some cities are mentioned, but not pictures from any. There are, however, three pictures of nature. The picture with the text: "Windmills and yellow brick houses accent the gently rolling meadowlands of Karlebo, in North Zealand." - could easily be changed for one or two of these pictures...

Sorry, got a bit long :) Hope it's alright... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Org.aidepikiw (talk • contribs) 03:30, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Rosie1989

Rosie1989 is back at guessing at airdates without sources, then in some cases sourcing to a Futon Critic page that doesn't support her edits. It's not as bad as it was before, but is still done without appropriate edit summaries; I reverted three where I edit, but counted 12 on her contribution page. I think the real problem here is she doesn't speak English well enough to understand what she's doing wrong. I doubt she's got any bad faith intentions, just the conviction she's right in all her edits. But she clearly doesn't understand what she's doing isn't to guidelines. I'm not sure what the next move might be, but perhaps another warning will nip this in the bud. We can but hope. Drmargi (talk) 20:55, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, her English skills are definitely a big problem. I think, as you, that she intends well - but that's unfortunately not enough. I'll continue to keep watch. henrik•talk 09:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it's going to improve. Apparently (and I read no German) she's been blocked indefinitely on the German Wiki. She didn't revert the ones I acted on, but is gathering comments on her talk page regarding edits, all without summaries, on a range of other shows' episode pages. Worse, she and Xeworlebi look poised to go at it again, given the one edit summary she did leave when she reverted one of his reverts and his aggressive vernacular. (I need a picture here of one of those cartoon characters with his head moving side-to-side rapidly!)

You've been more than fair to her in giving her the benefit of the doubt and a chance to redeem herself. However good her intentions might be, she seemingly can't or won't abide by policy. I don't envy you having to be the bad guy again, but at this rate, she won't give you much of a choice. Thanks for keeping an eye on it all. Drmargi (talk) 16:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Rosie's first account was on the German wikipedia, which I assume is his/her native language. He/She was banned there for the same behavior that is expressed here. I start to think his/her intention or not for the better and just doesn't care, like on the German wikipedia. Rosie's latest one liner was Toc right is shit...!, quite aggressive and uncalled for. Which, when I think of it, was one of the few consistent edits on the List of Castle episodes article as the rest changed almost every time he/she edited the article. And Drmargi, I have no intention at going at it again but it's getting ridiculous with the changing of section names which break links on other pages, and it's turning into plain vandalism behavior. _Xeworlebi ^(t•c) 17:24, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

OK, so here's what's bugging me. Clearly, all our warnings and admonitions in English are falling on deaf ears in the sense that she simply has no functional English to bring to bear on them. So where does our due diligence lie? Are we effectively communicating what she needs to do, or is the burden on her to understand, given she chose to come to the English Wiki? She's still not using edit summaries, but probably can't write enough English to do so. She's still fairly confrontational in her reverts, but the number of them has decreased significantly. She set up the episode page for "Forgotten" this morning, and did a beautiful job, including correct Production Codes (not the mislabeled episode numbers so often called production codes.) So somewhere along the line, she's getting it on some level. Is there any way to find a German-speaking editor or admin who could make things clearer to her. She's at least showing signs she wants to get it right. Drmargi (talk) 18:24, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if explaining it in German would help since he/she was warned sufficient times, in German, on the German wikipedia. But 1989 Rosie chose to continue anyway and it costed his/her account on the German wikipedia. I can't fix the section headers that he/she renamed to let the other pages links work again because 1989 Rosie will just blindly revert it. _Xeworlebi ^(t•c) 19:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

The burden is definitely on Rosie to have sufficient English to communicate (but with that said, trying a German editor is not a bad idea). I'm hesitant to impose any more blocks at the moment, given that her edits have improved markedly. Remember that we need to give editors some time to learn the ropes as well: we can't expect people to go from not understanding what the problem was to perfection instantly.

I think you guys are doing a good job of trying to communicate, and I believe it's helping (She probably understands more English than she's comfortable to write). henrik•talk 20:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

1989 Rosie continues to disrupt the List of V (2009 TV series) episodes article. I've posted a new warning on the talk page but I'm afraid it won't do any good. I haven't fixed the page yet because he/she will just revert without explanation. I need some help on this, as he/she seems to see not reverting as a green light to continue. And starts to make his/her edits one by one spread over a longer period of time in the hope that they won't be noticed. I understand you're hesitant to issue a new block and want to give 1989 Rosie a chance to change his/her behavior, a German comment might help but I'm doubtful it would since he/she chose to ignore those on the German wikipedia, and it got him/her banned indefinitely with ample warnings and chances to amend just like he/she chooses to do here. _Xeworlebi ^(t•c) 00:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I tend to agree, Hendrik, I do think she's trying to improve. Given her English, it's bound to be an uphill battle, but I think if we are judicious about what we warn about, and try to temper it with a bit of patience, she'll get it. I can't see a block accomplishing anything at the moment, at least not in the affirmative. But then, given the pattern of late, I think optimism is preferable to pessimism.

On the other hand, my prediction that Rosie and Xeworlebi were poised to go at it seems to have come to pass. Each has violated 3RR on the List of V (2009 TV series) episodes page in the last day or so, with her edits tagged as vandalism -- something that strikes me as clearly not her intention. Seems to me that there might be a couple spankings in order! In the meantime, I threw a 3RR warning on both their talk pages. --Drmargi (talk) 02:43, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

It might not be her intention but it still is disruptive editing. And there is no way to discuss it. I have given my reasons, valid ones, and he/she chose the silent disruptive way again. It got her banned partly because of it and the page had 4 days of rest, until he/she got unbanned and continued. If there is any different way how to deal with this, or any way that would have an outcome whatsoever, then please tell me, because none of the normal ways seem to work and 1989 Rosie continues her disruptive ways. I've also removed the 3RR warning on my page as it doesn't apply to disruptive editing, which even got her banned for it. _Xeworlebi ^(t•c) 13:12, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

3RR absolutely does apply - basically the only type of article editing excluded from the 3RR limitation is removing pure vandalism or removing illegal material. I chose not to impose sanctions since though you both had violated the rule, there seemed to be some progress and it looked to have quited down.

Speaking of that, what are the links to the sections that you're trying to preserve? Is there a standard formatting used on these sections across most of the tv episode lists? henrik•talk 13:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

The only reason it quieted down was because I stopped reverting Rosie's reverts and tried, without outcome, to discuss, explain this first. As far as I know there are two formats used; Season 1 (2009–2010) and Season 1: 2009–2010. While both acceptable there is no reason to change one form to the other especially when that disrupts links towards it. Two of the links are even on the same page; the navbox: Template:V (science fiction) and the series overview-link still links to Season 1 (2009–2010). _Xeworlebi ^(t•c) 14:20, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

The problem here is we have two editors, each taking a "my way or the highway" approach to comparatively small edits. I can't comment on the links broken or how much they are specific to one format versus a means to an end designed to allow one editor to prosecute a grudge against another. What is becoming increasingly clear is we have one editor who can't seem to understand policy and is operating under questionable faith at times, but generally good faith, and one who, where Rosie is concerned, is operating is questionable-to-bad faith between the WP:3RR violations, inflammatory messages on her talk page and hiding behind claims of vandalism and disruptive editing.

I understand the lack of sanctions and support your decision completely. In truth, I wasn't actually looking for them, which is why I used the expression "spanking" to describe what they needed. But they both need to understand the disruptive nature of this page-to-page war they are fighting, which previously resulted in at least one article being page protected when nothing else would stop them, and that they are both accountable to 3RR. From an outsider's POV, it's getting old. I think that end may have been accomplished by the discussion here. If that settles the problem, dandy. Drmargi (talk) 15:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Have you had a look at Rosie recently? She's doing much better now. I think she's either got someone helping her or has begun to get the drift of how things work around here. I'm keeping a sharp eye on her, and trying to give her formative feedback, which she generally accepts. She's also not engaging the one big irritant since the last 3RR issue, which is the best thing of all. I'm glad she was given another chance. Drmargi (talk) 22:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Stat questions

Hi, Henrik, I am a researcher on Wiki project, and noticed you have a tool to get statistics of page review. May I ask is that possible to do it on the stable data set, or only can be applied on dynamic process--like saying do it online? Also, is that page review can be used on to visualize the vandalism and revert process? please drop me the email if possible. thanks.

stats request

hi,

thanks for the stats.grok.se page, it is great. However, could you perhaps expand it to wikimediafoundation.org ? I noticed you included already metawiki. That would be very helpful!

Best, effeietsanders 13:38, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Stats.grok.se is interesting. I would like the "time-selector" to be expanded to longer periods - e.g. quarterly or yearly total as a numeric display in the "month page", months in a year (not day by day but month by month or week by week) as a graphic. As I have no en:Wiki-watchlist (my home is in de:Wiki and I can not watch en:Wiki-pages from there) it might take a while until I visit this page again. If you want you can answer on my discussion or leave a note there if you answer here. Thank you ! --PhChAK (talk) 18:28, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Stats issues- incl no stats- Why?

I have a question: an entry was created for Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine about 2 weeks ago. In May there were 40 views. In the first 5 days of June, there was a major increase: 3,300 views! During some of that time, it was "tagged for deletion" by me (because I felt it might be written better and re-posted) but others wanted it to stay, so stay it did. Can you explain the massive increase in views? Also, there are no page views the last 3-4 days. Is there some type of problem? An error perhaps? Thank you. relax777

Chapel Allerton Employees in 1969

Hi. My name is Debbie. I am hoping to find any information on an a person that was employed at Chapel Allerton in 1968 - 1970.(houseman) His name is Chandra Kahn Patel or C.D. Patel. My mother, June Ann Sands, worked at Alleton Chapel with him, and I am a result of their brief union. My mother never told him that she became pregnant. I am hoping to locate him, discreetly, to tell him that he is my biological father.

Hi. I'm afraid I have no knowledge of Chapel Allerton, or really anything else, so I unfortunately can't help you. henrik•talk 20:19, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Statistics

Hi, I'm active in deWP (amongst others) and at this time concentrate on de:Romy Schneider whose nationalities (German+French, although born in Vienna, Austria) were cause for troubles and for blocking the article for quite some time. I therefore created a special archive, de:Diskussion:Romy Schneider/Archiv/Nationalität to store all that emotional bullsh**, and I'd like to show that "not very many" readers would ever be interested in such.

Question: Can you show me a way to put a link within the main archive which explicitely presets statistics for the sub-archive "/Nationalität"? Or would such not be desirable, due to less-than-welcome extra "server load"? (I talk about my recent edit, there, which just quotes stats.grok.se, as of now.) Thanks, Wolfgang.

speedy deletion

Dear Henrik,

I was writing an article about a UK company called Malmo Nordic Dining, which is based on an initiative from the Swedish and Danish government to introduce Nordic Foods in Britain. The company is partly focused on information towards the public and partly consumer food products.

The article was deleted before it was finished, and I do not understand why. I read the criteria for speedy deletion, but do not think it fulfilled these. I looked at several other UK based food companies, and couldn't see a difference between my article and theirs.

Could you please explain the situation.

re. AE

You wrote: "...I find the conduct of User:Anti-Nationalist more troubling, this edit is really beyond the pale. The user's recent conduct is not much better." That edit from May was based on a book documenting Estonia's rate of child abuse [4]. Please look at the number of cases per 10,000 population, which pretty much...err...stands out....by comparison with the rest of the countries surveyed. Now, this edit was pretty wrong, mind you: I did not provide the source and the wording I'd used was extremely poor. You claim that my "recent conduct is not much better." Please demonstrate this – if there are any poor diffs, in which anything I inserted was not awful or not backed by sources since, say, September, I would like to see it. (Sander's friends already tried to blockshop me for Monument of Lihula, except it was found that my diffs were good edits, and I used proper sources.) It's worth noting, IMHO, that accusing editors of "ethnic prejudice" is Sander Säde's standard device: here, he manages to accuse Dojarca of "racism", here Petri Krohn [5] (aren't there just a ton of anti-offical Estonian POV "racists" filled with "ethnic prejudice" running around – like those disagreeing with the offical POV that the trials over Nazi collaborators in the Holocaust in Estonia were staged communist propaganda)? (I find it very strange that all of his opponents – funnily enough, mostly left-wing Europeans / Americans –are "racists" and EEML member Sander is here so as to fight "the good fight" for Estonia...)

As far as Sander Sade's one legitimate complaint, it's been introduced by EEML members into attacks on me everywhere relentlessly:

I'll reply on the AE section in the interest of allowing other admins and parties to see the whole picture, as soon as you've refactored your comment per Tznkai's edit. I'll leave this though: My initial thought is that I'd like to see more cases of positive, neutral, non-controversial activities in the area to be persuaded that it'd be a net loss to the encyclopedia to restrict you from it. henrik•talk 18:20, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I honestly don't know how the post could be more condensed – it's just an answer to both you and Sander Sade (who really brought out the whole EEML saga on AE with his old method, IMO) – the vast majority of that response is just diffs showing the same iteration of double-jeopardy attempts to reblock me from what I was either already blocked for or what was not discussed as actionable by anybody in the past. As far as non-controversial activities in the area, you're probably not aware that I don't merely edit Estonian-related subjects to be controversial or anything like that. What, if anything, for example, is controversial in edits like this, which I made to Arnold Green (politician) [7]? Anti-Nationalist (talk) 20:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Your edits at Green, regarding a Soviet personality, is not an area of contention. It is where topics involve (Estonian being a target) authorities or individuals that disagree with the Soviet or official Russian positions on past or current events that give rise to conflict.  PЄTЄRS VЄСRUМВА ►talk  23:50, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Henrik, it is absolutely NOT on, that you fob off Sander Sade's edit summary, yet use this edit summary against User:Anti-Nationalist. I suggest that you look at the conduct of ALL editors on those articles properly, rather than fobbing off one and going after another. Also, it should be noted that the article which A-N used that edit summary on has been subjected to censorship by numerous editors, and blind freddy can see that by simply looking at the article history - look at Bakharev's re-insertion of material deleted. It is little wonder then that WP:EEML web brigadiers would accuse A-N of only introducing negative information into articles, when they are actively engaging in censorship of many articles. I was also urge you to look at the recent history of harrassment against A-N by numerous editors, of which this was just the latest attempt, again with the ridiculous rehashing of the same edit on a single article from months ago. Don't take the easy way out by only listening to WP:EEML brigadiers, but take the time to look at all of their edits. --Russavia ^{I'm chanting as we speak} 13:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Henrik for your note [9]. I'm not that sure what to make of it however. I did request for comments at WP:RFCN regarding Anti-Nationalist because of according to the user I was "an ally of a bunch of hardcore Eastern European nationalists". At WP:RFCN I was made clear by several editors [10][11] that I have raised the question at a wrong place and that it should be taken to WP:ANI instead. Which I did. Now several days later I get a note from [12] Sander Sade regarding the Enforcement request. After learning over there more about Anti-Nationalist editing patterns, I'm sorry but I have seen the similar pattern that's full of "nationalists" and "nazi-collabrators" on Wikipedia before, that's why I filed this. I guess the thing that I've learned during this mess is that Anti-nationalist has done nothing wrong, and in case anybody tries to insert purely sourced nazi nonsense into articles/and talks pages on wikipedia, and calls you an ally of "hardcore nationalist" meanwhile, its you who'd need apologize and move on.--Termer (talk) 02:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
