User talk:Guanaco/archive

See User talk:Guanaco/Archive 1 for past messages.

From now on, please do not question me about any bad rollbacks. I quickly run through a large number of edits on the RC page and may occasionally make a mistake. If you see that this has happened, go ahead and re-revert it yourself without asking. Guan aco 23:39, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Shopping centers

Please refrain from speedily deleting any more of those shopping centers; while it's true, they should go, we have kept other malls in the past (albeit large regional malls). These aren't worthy of speedy deletion. Meelar 23:29, 21 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted these because they were a dump of source data that would not be useful on Wikisource. I would have listed them on VfD if the user had taken the time to create a stub. But since he/she just c/p'd useless info from somewhere, I made it quickly go away.Guan aco 23:43, 21 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Babelfish

Hi. How do you know that all of 216.155.200.0/24 is Babelfish? Does this range really need to be blocked indefinitely? Have you seen vandalism from it? I have unblocked it for the time being. Thanks, Maximus Rex 05:47, 21 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

~~I think~~ Babel Fish could be used as an anonymous proxy. There hasn't been any vandalism from there as of yet, but this follows the policy of blocking all anon proxies. I edited User:Guanaco/Sandbox through the translator five times [1] today to see for sure if Babel Fish uses multiple IP addresses within 216.155.200.***, which it does. It's very unlikely that there are any IPs outside of Babel Fish in that range. Guan aco 00:05, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

[2] is an example of the damage Babel Fish's translation software can do. Guan aco 01:17, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

There are four edits on the end of that link, three of which are to sandboxes. Is it not a little hasty to permanently block a chunk of IP addresses for a fear of vandalism. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 02:23, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

The chunk of IPs is just the Babel Fish translator. It automatically garbles pages and is an anonymous proxy. Both reasons are enough for a permanent block. Guan aco 02:28, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Block problems

I'm far from an expert on it, but wouldn't it be 216.155.200.0/30? - Hephaestos|§ 02:16, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to block 216.155.200.0 - 3, but 216.155.200.231 - 234. The software keeps changing the fourth byte causing the block to fail. For now I'll just block 216.155.200.0/24, since I'm pretty sure the entire server is Babel Fish.

Why...

...do you keep blocking and unblocking users starting with 216?? 66.32.127.112 02:21, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to figure out a problem with the blocking system. The user is a range of IPs used by the Babel Fish translator service, which causes problems when used for editing. Guan aco 02:29, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

On a related note, thanks for checking out those blocks of dynamic or proxy IPs, or overlong blocks of static non-proxy IPs, and keeping them all in order. Good work. :) Btw, you can use [[this kind of thing]] in block messages, and they'll show up as links to the blocked user, which can sometimes be a useful trick.

Why...

... do you delete Quotes from page Fahrenheit_9/11 ?

It seems that I was mistaken and thought it was another copyvio dump. Apparently it's not. Sorry about that. I see quite a few things that look very similar that do need to be quickly reverted. Guan aco 23:36, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Circumfetishism

¿Why did you remove circumfetishism from paraphilias? If you go to CircList.Com, you will find a den of circumfetishists.

?alabio 03:12, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Circumfetishism is currently listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. It seems somewhat obscure and POV, so until the issues are resolved, circumfetishism should stay off the main paraphilia article. Guan aco 03:20, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Block log, Test sysop access

Hi Guanaco. I tried to give you sysop access on test, but could not :-( I hope someone will find out why it does not work. I think it would be a good idea that your user page over there is a user page, not just a redirect to en user page. SweetLittleFluffyThing

Hi. Why have you duplicated the Block log archive? There seems to be Wikipedia:Block log/Archive1 and Wikipedia:Block log/Archive2. You're a sysop at test now by the way. Angel a. 13:15, May 24, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant to delete Wikipedia:Block log/Archive2. It seems I had forgotten. It's deleted now. Guan aco 21:27, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It just confused me, but that was partly because I was thinking it was the protection log, not the block log, so I was doubly confused. :) Angel a. 01:00, May 25, 2004 (UTC)

Copied from page history (12:50, 25 May 2004) Guan aco 00:53, 26 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Restore my user page or you can prepare to have *your* user and talk pages permanently protected.

I have no idea how you think that permanent protection would be carried out. Guan aco 00:53, 26 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

"Anti-American sentiment" and support for learning project

Hi Guanaco, thanks for your revert at the "Anti-American sentiment" article.

I saw you have a Polish version of your user page, would you be interested in a project about learning, particularly vocabulary, that I describe on my user page and that is discussed on my talk page? Get-back-world-respect 13:00, 26 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
