Stephanie Adams article is being attacked by user fasttimes68.

Appears to be a consistent history. My suggestion in talk page was blanked out by fasttimes68 as well, but I placed it back. Any reason? 98.14.172.174 (talk) 21:55, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

As of yesterday, user Fasttimes68 is still commenting and trying to edit the Stephanie Adams article, even though it has been fully protected, probably due to his continued interference. Did he ever get banned? Why won't he just stop? DAMVan01 (talk) 14:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

possible iban violation

With reference to ANI thread you closed, please see [1] and [2] Nobody Ent 00:08, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'd say yes it was. I'm a bit tied up at the moment so not had time to look into it deeply; any admin can impose sanctions as needed. Indeed, it is probably a good idea for another admin to do it as I gave evidence on that case. Perhaps Arbcom themselves could take action. --Errant ^(chat!) 08:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Was this ever resolved?

Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive758#Topic_ban_User:fasttimes68_from_Stephanie_Adams

He and someone named hoary also talk of oral sex in the subject's talkpage, which is really bizarre. From what I see in the Stephanie Adams talkpage as well as this user's contributions, he has no intention to let this article be. Bowwowbow (talk) 19:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

DYK - Halp!!!!

I submitted my first dyk to see what would happen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Gerard_Lyons and it's been voted down for some pretty good reasons but I don't know what to do next, and they are bugging me for comments. Do I just say "ok i give up" or do I need to remove the submission myself? I've tried looking at all the Doc pages but it isn't clear. Mcsony (talk) 14:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Surplus women

Things going well - same here though, never find time to do all the things I want to do :( Just saw this... finally we have the data to show the ratio problem was really bad for 20-40 year old women in 1921, which makes the surplus women issue after the war very real, in contrast to the moral panic of the preceding era. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18854073 Mcsony (talk) 14:38, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

NOSSA Article

Why did you remove the Secretary's name on the NOSSA article? Brac423 (talk) 01:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

It's a minor incident and he is not a public individual - there is no need for a name (per WP:BLP care). I toned down all of that section of content. --Errant ^(chat!) 08:42, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Urgent ArbCom email.

Just checked into with a few people, if it's really urgent, send it through to pbeaudettewikimedia.org - but pronto. He can send it to ArbCom without it being held in moderation but is kinda busy so send it asap. Cheers. Steven Zhang ^{Get involved in DR!} 11:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Janet Mitchell OTRS request

Hi, I saw you removed some information from this article and List of EastEnders characters. The info was also on List of past EastEnders characters, and I inadvertently restored it to List of EastEnders characters when I moved the names from one page to the other. I've now removed the information from the page histories, just thought I'd let you know this had happened. –anemoneprojectors– 13:22, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that! Very much appreciated :) --Errant ^(chat!) 13:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
