Categorizing, and no idea where to put some pages...

Spicer Hills Business and Industrial Park and Where in Malton is Bob Boberton? Have me completely confused...ideas? -Dezonus- ^(talk) 00:22, 24 October 2010 (BST)

Misanthropy got the latter and correctly so, it's a small event and could eitehr go into Category:Events or, more suitably, Category:Minigames. The first one is probably best just suited to Category:Spicer Hills IMO. -- LEMON #1 05:17, 24 October 2010 (BST)

MY IP Banning

Doesn't seem to be working. Any idea why? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:07, 26 October 2010 (BST)

I tried, and it said that ""72.254.128.202" is already blocked". Also, in the Special:Blockip display of the block log it showed "72.254.128.202" not "User:72.254.128.202", so I'm a little lost right now. -- LEMON #1 10:34, 26 October 2010 (BST)

Furthermore, I was going to give the user benefit of the doubt since the MO was slightly different than Cornholioo, but since he's using an open proxy, and we can't ban the proxy due to wiki bug reasons, a page protection is in order? Best wait for someone smart like Aichon and not dumb like us though. -- LEMON #1 10:36, 26 October 2010 (BST)

Yeah, that's why I went Proxy Route. Looking at the opening sentence I think its someone who doesn't quite know english, and the rest looks a copy and paste job. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:44, 26 October 2010 (BST)

If that is any evidence, it would be in the sockpuppet naming tradition. Hermann is the German name of Germanic warlord Arminius, and it was Teutoburg where he has beaten the Romans. -- Spiderzed▋ 10:57, 26 October 2010 (BST)

Throw up a VB case spider, We'll have a look at ban avoidance. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:10, 26 October 2010 (BST)

Mmmm. And since we can't seem to ban the IP (after its "blocking" it seems he can still edit using it) we may have no choice but to protect the page until he can show us he's editing with an IP that isn't a proxy. Other calls are that we permaban the user (and the wiki software will automatically ban his IP) and then manually unban the user, but leave the automatically banned IP alone (since I'm pretty sure we have to manually unban the IP too in those cases) -- LEMON #1 11:12, 26 October 2010 (BST)

The problem is that Ross set the block to be for anonymous users only (just as he seemingly always does for IP blocks, though I'm not sure why). Basically, since Hermann isn't an anonymous user, he's effectively grandfathered in and allowed to keep posting with that IP address. I'm going to change the block to not allow known users either. Open proxies are banned, after all, for anonymous and non-anonymous users alike. —Aichon— 19:18, 27 October 2010 (BST)

Ah. Cheers. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:19, 27 October 2010 (BST)

8 Million Days in UD

Where is it? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:50, 30 October 2010 (BST)

The truth is I've been lazy, but the last of the semester's major essays is due this Tuesday, then I'm free to wank through my to-do list. Expect progress around then, methinks -- LEMON #1 15:42, 30 October 2010 (BST)

Excellent. Could Put Swiers Bellow Suggestion into implemented as well. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:57, 30 October 2010 (BST)

Took a bit to find it, but eventually got there. Didn't know he'd suggested that. -- LEMON #1 01:10, 31 October 2010 (BST)

Protocol for Adding Edits to Protected Historical Event Pages

So what's the protocol for adding edits to a protected historical event page?

Long story short, we have a couple of articles in which people like Petrosjko and other RRF leaders talk about memories / planning / stories from the early days of the RRF. We would like to add a link to the Dia de los Muertos, First Siege of Caiger Malland Stanstock protected pages to these history articles, which all give memories / perspectives from the zombie side/planners who helped make those events possible.

Here are the articles we would like to link to:

• Events leading up to, memories of Stanstock would go with the Stanstock article
• RRF planning, memories of Caiger would go with the 1st Caiger Siege article
• RRF planning, memories of Dia de los Muertos would go with the Dia de los Muertos / Giddings article

So...how would this work exactly? Would I post a request in the Protected Page section or what? -MHSstaff 21:57, 30 October 2010 (BST)

If you want an edit made to a protected page, go to Protections. I don't know about this though, it may be best to have links on the talk pages (Which may also be protected.)--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature3 22:07, 30 October 2010 (BST)

So you would post the requested page and the requested edit there? -MHSstaff 22:14, 30 October 2010 (BST)

Yep. Then someone should get to it really quickly.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature3 22:16, 30 October 2010 (BST)

One thing I could see happening is the link would be protected but the linked article would not be. Would it make sense to also submit a protection request for the linked article in conjunction with this request so that it could not be edited following approval (if this crazy idea was approved)? -MHSstaff 22:39, 30 October 2010 (BST)

Mmmmm... Nah. In circumstances where the page could be modified by anyone, yeah, but they just link to more pages basically under the wing of the RRF so it's hardly abusable. And if something does happen, the links can just be contested on A/PT and possibly removed without any harm to the article. -- LEMON #1 01:13, 31 October 2010 (BST)

Shouldn't Halloween 2010 be moved to a user page?

Hey Dance,

So I think thats the sort of thing for user pages, but wasn't sure so thought I'd ask you...yeah? -Dezonus- ^(talk) 22:47, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

It's an event. :P --User:Yonnua Koponen/signature3 22:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I know its an event, but this is a very unofficial and non game related version...-Dezonus- ^(talk) 05:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

It's still an event, imo. Just because it's "unofficial" whatever that means doesn't mean it wasn't an event.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature3 06:53, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

How is it not game related? The first paragraph explains how it is. -- LEMON #1 08:27, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

HEY FAGGET

YOU ARE A CUNT--DDRSUCKSKNOB 09:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
