Zombie computer? Hey Mister 'I-Have-Insect-Porn-on-my-User-Talk-Page-&-You-Don't, I was wondering if I could ask what a zombie computer is, as noted in this edit. The anon had vandalized my page and, at first, I thought it was another anon with a very close IP address. Could the two be related? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 04:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC) See Open proxy for details. But to keep things simple relay websites that hides someone's true IP address. Considering http://75.125.166.19/ leads to a default installed of CentOS at the hosting company ThePlanet.com, I wouldn't be surprised if that server is relatively unmaintained and has been compromised as a result. --  Netsnipe  ►  05:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Why aren't you an admin? Are you really not an admin? Do you really not even have rollback? Why?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 05:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Personally, I keep the oppose at RFA, already templated and handy - so it can hit the skids before the proposer posts .... 8^). In respect of recent additions consider the executive punishment withdrawn. It does look like someone might be truly, truly two stops short of Dagenham. Kbthompson (talk) 01:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC) Re: Protection One of the first things I can teach you is that we don't pre-emptively protect pages, and since your user page hasn't had any recent vandalism, protecting looks unnecessary. If you want to learn about admin tasks, a good first step would be to read the stuff on Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list to be familiar with policies.

Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC) 'Twas User:Abstract, and I noted my issue with it. Name-calling isn't designed to resolve differences. If I called you a coprophytic feltch monkey, I would imagine that you would take exception to it. Not that Abstract called you that, but your tagging along with him is putting him on edge. Maybe give the little guy some space. If he cocks things up, there are other editors who will call him on it. Just a facet of the advice I gave him last night. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 18:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Re: HP I don't think the use of an acronym in disambiguation has anything to do with notability of the acronym itself, but if you want non-fansite sources where HP is used as an acronym, this is a good place to start. Sceptre (talk) 19:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Well, I've demonstratively proved that it is abbreviated to HP (not common usage, but usage nonetheless)... You're welcome to create WikiProject Hewlett-Packard if you want. Sceptre (talk) 20:00, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Hi Help, I don't know what you mean... is it something I did to an article somewhere? Sardanaphalus (talk) 03:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Ah okay. It's because when you copied and pasted the Ibiza article onto one of your own userpages (busywork), you also copied but forgot to disable all the metadata (categories/interwiki links) carried by the article. All that metadata relates to the article in the main body of the encyclopedia, not your copy of it on your userpage, so it should be disabled -- otherwise your userpage turns up in category listings (Ibiza, Islands of the Balaeric Islands, etc) and claims to have versions in all those other languages! Hope that makes sense. Sardanaphalus (talk) 03:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Yup. It's the simplest method (the <pre>...</pre> tags) I've found so far that keeps the metadata in view but not affecting the main encyclopedia. If/when you paste the article back into the encyclopedia (or, at least, its External links section), just remove the tags. At last, something passed on. Sardanaphalus (talk) 03:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC) What you called edit warring in Anti-Iranianism article It may look bold but be fair, You single handedly had deleted everything you did not agree with. Things which were sourced and everyone agreed with. The simplest way to save the article was to revert all changes and then discuss each issue one by one. The discussion will follow. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 19:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC) First of all you began to insult me, when I was nice to you. NEVER AGAIN SAY YOU LOOK FOOLISH. OK? yes your edist were bad and having reviwed your edits it seemd that you had an agenda to let anti-Iranianism look less bad than it was. Things about the movie 30 should be deleted, the molestation of the Iranian shop keeper should be deleted, and despite the fact that there were so many examples and arguments to sustantiate the arguments you also questioned the truth in the sections on the Netherlands and Turkey. People like me have collected facts here and added to the text. It is indeed still a mess with regards to the text structure, but facts collected should stand. You can ask citation and I say I do not have problems with that, but if you delete the text so fundamentally, it will be very difficult TECHNICALLY to discuss things separately. As for the shop keeper: Iranians have a look. They look middle eastern and in addition Iranian shops have usually flags of Iran aor written as Iranian or Persian shop. It can happen that many rednecks would kill a sikh Indian for an al qaeda Arab, but this was not the case. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 11:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC) Discussion At this time, the discussion on all parts is more in depth than I am comfortable dealing with. I am going to call in an Administrator to review the case and take the appropriate actions he deems necessary. Please hold further discussion until your contacted by an Administrator. Dustitalk to me 20:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC) Socks Arcayne, just a heads-up...I think this may be related to your IP sockpuppet problem. Possibly a banned editor. Kelly hi! 21:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
