Edits from Banned User HC and IPs

1) HarveyCarter (talk · contribs) and all of his sockpuppets are EXPRESSLY banned for life.

2) Be on the look out for any edits from these IP addresses:

AOL NetRange: 92.8.0.0 - 92.225.255.255

Thanks! ~ IP4240207xx (talk) 06:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note AOL UK IP's are now owned by Carphone Warehouse so don't be surprised to see their name when checking for HC sock IP's. MarnetteD | Talk 12:32, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No bother whatsoever

The MO of that anon vandal seems similar to Bambifan, but that IP resolves to Michigan. Bambi does the majority of his nonsense from Alabama. However, if you even so much as think you smell this guy, please let me know. His destruction and damage is nearly incaluculable. Thanks for letting me know and believe me, asking about something like this is not a bother. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You bet; it was a pleasure hearing from you. You may find this page helpful in regards to Bambifan. The precious little darling has his very own long-term abuse page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I believe I've dealt with this editor before when he was editing similar articles using a different IP. He made the same "kids who know nothing hassling smart old me" comments. At the time, he claimed to be a University Professor in Media or some such, posting from his office. Of course, his IP info said differently. He was blocked then, and this new instance is blocked.

Claiming to be from "one of the top ten universities in America"
Actual location is the teaming metropolis of Copperopolis, California

JoeSperrazza (talk) 20:41, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the info and the links JoeSperrazza. I appreciate you taking the time to do this and it will be good to have it in one place. In the AN report Binksternet supplied the link to a previous ANI discussion seen here Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive887#IP troll 66.102.146.179. Stubbornness or trolling either way it is a shame really. Oh, flunking students that disagreed with you is the opposite of what being and educator is about. Thanks again and cheers.

Protection templates

I'm on the clock tonight (till probably 6:00 AM GMT). Sorry! Saturday and Sunday I'll 100% be off-wiki, though. Thanks for working with me on this! — MusikAnimal ^talk 02:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies MusikAnimal I did do some template removal after 0100 GMT. I'll leave it alone until tomorrow - and even further if you need it. I do hope you get some sleep eventually. Cheerzzzzzzz. MarnetteD|Talk 02:52, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Haha thanks! I'm nearly done knocking this out. Talked to Earwig and gone to tone the bot back to only remove protection templates if the corresponding protection has expired, and handle protection templates in the template space. That means they'll still plenty of work to do on your end, if you're still up for it! :) As you've seen, these situations can get quite tricky, for example Drishyam (2015 film). Our solution to add the expiry clearly did not work. Anomalies, those darn templates! Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 03:03, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update M I had noticed that film staying in the cat as well. Working with the cat is always a welcome diversion and keeps me out of trouble - well most of the time. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 03:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops I forgot to mention that I hope you have a nice weekend - especially since you will be away from WikiP. Gotta recharge those batteries! MarnetteD|Talk 03:10, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rio Gallegos, Santa Cruz

This city is located in ARGENTINA, this country has a NEW President, Vice president and every city has a new Intendant and other authorities (the national elections were on 22th November), why did you deleted the Intendant's name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.177.142.159 (talk) 04:05, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because you need to provide a WP:RS stating that person has become the new Intendent. WikiP requires sourcing for all new info. MarnetteD|Talk 04:35, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Valley of the Dolls (film)

Haha. I went into this film really wanting to like it and say I disagree with the critics but sadly they're right. Crowther sums it up very well "It's an unbelievably hackneyed and mawkish mish-mash of backstage plots and Peyton Place adumbrations." It's the worst film I've seen in quite some time. The conception of it is just awful. Extremely disappointing from Mark Robson, a very decent director.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heehee. It is a tough one to watch all the way through. You are right about Robson being a decent director so this one really clucks in comparison to his other films. I might think that there is some story of others interfering with it but he was the producer as well. Cheers DB. MarnetteD|Talk 21:20, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I got a Robson film to GA, The Ghost Ship, a classic, if a little campy! I didn't write most of it, it was somebody else's article. Toko Ri IMO is one of the best US in Japan films, superbly shot.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:18, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a fun one to watch. I will put it on my list Dr. Blofeld. Val Lewton's involvement in that film reminds me that I got to see Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows a couple months ago. Very well done and worth your time if it is available to you. MarnetteD|Talk 15:37, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cat People is a really good one!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:06, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
