Just re-reading your User page and was curious about this edit; what happened? Where did it appear? –
 – Gareth Griffith-Jones |The Welsh Buzzard| 13:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation ... I don't know exactly why you got that, p'haps your IP address was allocated to another in the murky past. It is history now and we can forget it.
It is a requirement that you sign and date your posts on article Talk pages and User Talk pages only. The four tildes is the quickest way.
Please do call me GG-J and please keep editing. All the best –

Nice to meet you, ask questions here, I will watch. Do you know already how to watch pages? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:59, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to meet you too! :) What does the average Wikipedian do in a day???The Wikimon (talk) 16:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict, - we wrote at the same time) Wow, what a greeting! - Why you want to watch a page? Because you care about it and want to know what happens to it. Take my talk. Once you are there, click on the star (not the heart). When you want to know what happened to pages you watch, you click on "watchlist" (above the search function). You will be presented the recent changes to all pages you watch (you decide how many days back). If you notice a change you may want to know what that was, and perhaps improve. - You didn't do much so far, be bold. You don't have to say your name in every edit summary, the robots do that for you. - Read what others are doing. - Please, let's keep the discussion here, my page is a bit crowded. - For your reply, add another : for an indent.

There is no average Wikipedian, some edit three times a year, others hang on the computer day and night. Find your topics and address the people that appear frequently in the watchlist of those articles, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done!! And Done!!! Your page is on my watch list and all changes made there are visible. Now I'm really addicted to Wikipedia, so expect to stay online day and night. Also, I won't add my name anymore and anything else?? I don't think so... Oh before I forget, now are there like leagues of editors??? Like ultra editor and stuff??? Btw great minds type alike and at the same time!!! ;) The Wikimon (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I added that : to your note,for indent. - Otherwise, on your own talk you can delete what you like, but on other talk pages, don't change the comments of others. I mentioned you on the page of an admin (administrator) whom I trust, Ched. Here's your sandbox, to play, click on the link, write, save. - All red links on Wikipedia wait for you to write missing articles, - start one in your sandbox, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Check it out!! By the way, if you don't mind- from how long have you been editing and how old were you when ou made your 1st edit??? Btw what's an Admin???

Again I added the leading : - next time you do it. If you don't know a word, try the search function. Administrators have more rights than others, can delete pages, for example, - The question about when I started is answered on my talk, the other I don't answer — but I give clues in my memories ;) - I love your sandbox ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wait till I'm done with it!!! You and Ched and GG-J are all my Senseis... And I'm terribly sorry for the personal question.. The reasons was Im 18 and this is my 1st edit... I know HTML and Java Script and that's all fun, but this surpasses all the 'geeky' fun things I've done. I'm not a geek! Are all editors like you or do they have big egos??? You are an Administrator right??? See now I know how to make a link:-) The Wikimon (talk) 17:04, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A few things: those personal remarks now in your sandbox should rather go to a user page, the sandbox is meant for coming and going stuff. I suggest you work on it until you like it, then save under a different name beginning with User:The Wikimon/ - you copy the name in the search function and click, then will be told that you can create a new article (shown red). - No problem with the question, - I recommend to not tell too much here about private identity. - All editors are different. If you go over my talk, you can see who left nice messages, click on their user name and find out. - No, I am not an admin, - or I would have offered my own service ;) - Do you see that my admin link takes you to another spot than yours? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:16, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How did that happen? I mean, mine shows a disambiguation (spelling might be wrong) page, while yours took me straight to a page on Administrators... Ok I'll start correcting the Sandbox also.. The Wikimon (talk) 17:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You look at the difference in edit mode and find how to code a piped link — one that shows text different from an article name ;) - You spelled very well! For pages with a dab (short for that long word), it's useful to pipe, in an article you may want to say just Requiem, not Requiem (Reger), for example, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Got it!!!! Now how do we create articles and what is the the preference for? I found that our emails can be linked to the account. Is it safe?The Wikimon (talk) 21:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sending the first is safe. Do not reply as a THREAD unless you are sure about the other party! –
 – Gareth Griffith-Jones |The Welsh Buzzard| 21:46, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Wikimon.
Glad to see you settling in well. Thank you Gerda for giving so much help. You are a good friend to have.
I thought the video here explains why we use Watchlists very well—and she is a very charming German lady. Cheers! –
 – Gareth Griffith-Jones |The Welsh Buzzard| 21:44, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You very much GG-J!! I think I can continue the thread cause I know her right? Also that video made perfect sense... Are there anymore like it???The Wikimon (talk) 00:09, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just indented here for you If you know the person and you know their e-mail address then you just send in the normal manner. If not, then you need to go to go to Preferences (Link is at the top of your User & Talk pages) Okay... you must be on your own page, and you will not see the e-mail link because you have not made the request to allow e-mails by going to your 'preferences' User profile:- Enable e-mail from other users This allows other registered users to send you an e-mail using "E-mail this user" link on the sidebar of your user page. E-mails are sent using a web interface, and your e-mail address is not revealed to a sender (that is, unless you decide to reply by e-mail).

Before creating, it's a good idea to read some. - I didn't, wrote my first, it was deleted within five minutes, because it didn't meet the standard formatting, and notability of the subject was not clear. - If you want to avoid that experience, consider to first write additions to existing articles, correct mistakes. - If you know what you want to write, develop it in your sandbox, where you are free to play. - What are your interests? - As said above, every red link you see is an invitation to write an article! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking in every thing you tell me like a sponge. You'll see me editing in no time and then creating articles.The Wikimon (talk) 00:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here, sponge, is the official guide for writing. - You could copy the general part of the inspiring user page and make it your own, if you like, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:33, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sponge feeder, you're gonna keep me busy for another few days, and I'll have to wait for another few days before I create my own articles.. Is it OK if I attach a gmail account to this Account?? and I'm gonna start making changes in my preferences...And how would it be to be a guest on this Teahouse thingy??? I like what you guys do and that's pretty much what happens at the Teahouse...The Wikimon (talk) 10:41, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go to the teahouse, meet people, tell me how it is, - I didn't have time for tea yet, - In creating, keep in mind but everything you write needs a good source (no original research OR), but has to differ from the source (no plagiarism). - Others do "gnomish" work: look for the misspelling of a word and correct it, a task that will never end, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:01, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi The Wikimon! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there!

Eat up, you'll need it! ;) It's always great to have a new eager Wikipedian on board, and if no one is available to help you out, feel free to leave me a message and I'll be happy to fix whatever you broke -- just kidding, but in all seriousness don't hesitate to ask! In the meantime, there are countless ways that you can help the project...for example, if you like writing, work in your sandbox and creating a new Wikipedia article about something you're interested in (see WP:Your first article for a phenomenal FAQ).

Rawr!!!! Welcome to Wikipedia!  — -dainomite   22:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! No, you don't look rude at all. It's just that our policy for the treatment of living people (here) is very strict about protecting them from unsourced commentary and unduly negative presentations (for example, an article on Tom Cruise focusing on press reports calling him... "different"... would be deleted as an attack page). If you have sources for the information removed, it would be best included at the same time as the information, allowing people to check its verifiability and pertinence. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:19, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Got that!! Thanks a lot!!! I'll add it again with 2-3 sources again and please let me know if I've done the job correctly!!! Thanks again for a super fast reply!!!

(watching) Crisco is a friend, and also a great admin! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:31, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks Gerda. Wikimon, don't be afraid to ping me if you need some help. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:35, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Wikimon! I've gone over it with my pruning shears as the article is to focus on Ahmadinejad as a person, from his birth to death (when it comes to that). This is a little blip and thus should not be given three paragraphs, per WP:UNDUE. Otherwise it looked pretty well done. Just be careful to avoid a journalist tone and avoid weasel words which undermine neutrality. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:53, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nah, nothing special... just been around for a while. You'll get used to it too — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:31, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A bit delayed, but I did want to thank you for your comments on my talk recently. Just stepped back a bit trying to see the forest for the trees. :) ... Thank you for the kind thoughts. — Ched :  ?  15:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your baby is coming along nicely! I bolded the article title, and it would be great if you could phrase the first line so that it comes first. You will certainly format the refs from "bare url" to details, like the first one. Consider to list them separately, as — for example — in BWV 31. Will keep looking ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:08, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did I ever tell you how much you rock!! Becuase you really do! And stop using exclamatory marks! I won't you em any more. I want to say I'm sorry for your loss, but it won't help you. I wish and hope that the person's memories rest with you forever and this universe will ensure that you meet him/her again. EE will be out soon. Realised that the best way to help and not get articles deleted is to get it featured or DYK (Master that you are) and have decided that all my articles will have some such status. Hence the caution. Proveit silly not working and so bare URLs... Will set it straight and reassemble first line. Thank You mama Bear. Expect some cookies which I should share. The Wikimon (talk) 18:05, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you (blushing a bit)! - EE: before publishing think about where it connects, what article(s) should link to it (question of notability). - Please contact people who knows economics and their terms and have them look also. Find which terms have articles. - "No plagiarism" is very important: if you quote word by word from a source, mark as such, if not see that the wording is different! - DYK comes only afterwards, no guarantee ;) Quotes and lists don't count for a minimum of 1.5k characters of prose. As it has to be nominated within the 5 days after publishing I would polish in user space first. In expectation, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:15, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The lead (some say lede) should be a summary of referenced facts in the body. Please move all refs to the body, you can name them and use them more than once. (For DYK, every paragraph has to have an inline citation.) The history section is too short, but look again after moving ;) - The first sentence of Criticism seems to miss a word. - U.S. Army is linked, doesn'thave to appear under See also. - Finally: I don't understand it, but that doesn't matter ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:32, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for creating Expeditionary Economics, The Wikimon!

Wikipedia editor FoCuSandLeArN just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Nice article, but has it worked?

To reply, leave a comment on FoCuSandLeArN's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

So, following the review I'd like to raise the following questions: 1) is it correct to assume that expeditionary economics focuses on providing support or the enquiry into how that support's relaid, etc.? The intro might need to be rephrased. 2) I think a difinition of failed state would be convenient. Last sentence of the first paragraph: what structuring? Could you expand? 3) "Messy capitalism" needs to be described. 4) The second paragraph of the same section needs referencing, especially the last statement. 5) Who criticised the theory? It's preferable to mention as many angles as possible, extending the article to offer a wide coverage of opinions. It's a great new addition to Wikipedia, that's for sure. Good luck with its development, and let me know if you need anything else. Hope to see you around. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Editor of the Week clerk committee!

Buster may have told you about what we do, but if he hasn't then I'll just do a quick run-through.

• We try and find deserving editors who haven't got the appreciation they should be getting.
• We nominate them to get the award.
• The nominator says a paragraph or two about the recipient, which forms our main banner.
• We have an infobox which is prepared for the recipient to be displayed at several places.
• Every sunday, one recipient from the Q is given the prize, and all of us congratulate them at their talk page, thanking them for their work here.

This is basically all we do. If you want to help, there are two places you can — Either help with the nomination and awarding process by searching for new editors, and volunteering to award the prize, or to help with the technical things, and creating the infobox and other such things.

Do tell any of us if you's like to learn anything

Cheers, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 04:23, 6 April 2013 (UTC) [Kindly leave a TalkBack][reply]

Hey Soni. Thanks for welcoming Wikimon. I'm not 100% sure if we are letting the nominator know that their person has received the award. I know I have not been doing that. If no one is doing that, maybe Wikimon can take up the task. It would be like Mon or Tues after another clerk dispenses the reward. Wikimon...You would have to check to make sure that the recepient DID in fact get the Award. I'll be out till late Sunday night. Let me lnow here. ```Buster Seven Talk 06:09, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem!! Tell me who is the lucky guy, I'll check on him/her and let you know if it reached em.. Sunday night you say, I'll check up on Monday mornin'... Thanks again!! Mean a lot, my first WikiProject!!! The Wikimon (talk) 06:34, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Go to the accepted nominations page. We call this "The Q" .The top editor is First in Line at the Q.
2. You will see there who nominated that editor. Make note of the nominator.
3. Sunday night/Monday morn the Award is distributed. Mon/Tues we visit the recepient to congratulate.
4. sometime on Monday, you check to verify distgribution and then notify the nominator.

```Buster Seven Talk 06:44, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds real easy, I think I can do this prett easily... Consider it done! The Wikimon (talk) 07:09, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just so we are on the same wavelength. The only part you need to do is the "Notify the Nominator" part. ```Buster Seven Talk 11:53, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LOL!! Yes I get your point :-), I was just trying to make myself look very professional.. I just have to "Notify the Nominator". No problemo... The Wikimon (talk) 12:19, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you also can come in on Mon/Tues to congratulate the recipient when the award is distributed. :) TheOriginalSoni (talk) 13:20, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Got it! But I'm new, so should i budge in and also wish, because it's primarily your gig... I shouldn't interfere, should I? If you're ok with it, then i'll do it... The Wikimon (talk) 13:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if your'e old or new! Everyone can come in and do the greetings!!! Just check if the recipient has been awarded, and add your greetings after that! (See the current EotW if you are not sure how to do it) TheOriginalSoni (talk) 13:44, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikimon! GoP is currently camping, so he will not be grading my final exam until Sunday or later. Just stay patient. Your adoption page will officially begin when this red link turns blue: User:Go Phightins!/Adopt/The Wikimon. Don't get your hopes up, but I want him to let me guide you through the course with him peeking over our shoulders. It depends on what GP wants and on what you want. If GP wants me to guide you through the course, would you be okay with that? Or do you want him to guide you through the course? If I guide you through the course, he will leave follow-up comments along the way. Which one would you like? Thanks. P.S. Check out my user page by clicking the JHU. ~~JHUbal27 17:23, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JHUbal27!!! I have no problem with any one of you teaching me!!! I am soo happy that you are taking interest and so I have no problems whatsoever!!! The Wikimon (talk) 19:33, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! Don't worry, we'll all be helping you and we'll help you succeed. Btw, does my user page amuse you? ~~JHUbal27 21:48, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so very much! Means lot to me that you guys came back and told me that I was finally being adopted by not one but two amazing editors!! Oh do I love your user page or do I love it??? I have planning to steal the background of yours because just too good... By the end of the classes with GoP, you are gonna help me get my user page and it better be better than yours... The Wikimon (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now GP will have to let me work with you. He has to grade my final exam first. He's so worried about that before he trusts me. Lots of people use the {{user info}} template, you can steal that. I will re-model my user page. This is just a start. There's a lot more! I will help you design your page by the time you're done with adoption. I need to experiment first by checking out the user page design center. A Wikisong? That's pretty awesome. Is it like an Irish tune or something? What were you thinking? ~~JHUbal27 23:29, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My friend, that was the Pokemon tune!!! You do know about Pokemon right, Pocket Monsters??? And my User ID is based in that, The Wikimon... I'm a Wikipedian Monster! :-) I already went thru user page center long ago, it appears to be defunct... The only good thing is the Hall of fame!! The Wikimon (talk) 01:22, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not a Pokemon fan, I'm more of a Mario fan. Hope that doesn't make you hate me! ~~JHUbal27 01:52, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! I love Mario!! Especially Kart! I started playing Mario when I was 8!! My first game ever, but Pokemon's got heart and that's what I like about it... The Wikimon (talk) 01:55, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, but what's your favorite Pokemon? Mine will always be #157! ZappaOMati 03:29, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One Pokemon?? My latest fav was Arceus for a short time but some of my all time favs include Charizard, Venasaur, Blastoise from the original... Loved Dragonite as well.. Then came turtwig and its evolutions cause I played loads of games with it as my starter... Soo many of em, but tough I pick one.. The Wikimon (talk) 03:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Well, Charizard has been a personal favorite as well, until I got Pokemon Crystal from my cousin, then I guess Typhlosion kinda stole the stage. I don't know why, but my favorites have always been starter Pokemon, besides maybe Snorlax and Haxorus. Also, speaking of Wikisongs, how do you feel about mine? ZappaOMati 03:47, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Technically, I too am yet to pass my adoption exam (one which I havent given for months now), but if you'd like so, I too offer my services to help get you through with the basics of Wikipedia before you give the tests. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 02:25, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing to lose! So if you guys can teach me together, nothing like it!! The Wikimon (talk) 02:28, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Soni, technically I asked first, but if you want to work with me, I'm fine with that. I think Go Phightins! would approve. He will look over our shoulders and help us if we need it. I'll tell him. What do you say Soni, you and me? ~~JHUbal27 03:12, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I spoke with Soni and I will guide you through the course once I get GoP's approval. Soni said that they'll help you if you need it, but they are not available full time. However, I will be available most of the time, even though I'm in school. I can't wait! ~~JHUbal27 04:57, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am only following Lionel Robbins definition in his essay on the nature and significance of economic science published in 1945. "Economics is the science that studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means, which have alternative uses". In addition, the supply and demand model I used is in all economics textbooks.

Moreover, The science of Economics is not limited to nor intents to analyze "the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services" in a way an engineer or a senior manager may do, but instead studies the behavior of actors (also called economic agents) performing economic activity on the economic scene. Of course production, distribution and consumption of goods and services have economics aspects but are not the object of study. This is similar to the economics of War. Definitely, War is not the object of the economics science. Economists probable have no light to throw about conducting the war, the tactics and strategy, training and movement of troops, arms to use and many other aspect of War. But economic analysis can illuminate many of the most urgent and most intricate problems of a community organized for War.

According to Lionel Robbins, we should not confuse objects that have economic aspects with the actual object of the science. For example, choosing between leisure and labor, what to study, for how long and where also have economic aspects. For an economist the production of potatoes and the development of philosophical knowledge are in the the same category because both are objects of human desire, imply choice and the use of scarce means to obtain them.

Again, the actual object of economics is the behavior of actors or agents when they have multiple ends in sights, limited resources to obtain them, a set of preferences, and the capability of making a choice. Firulaith (talk) 06:20, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to discuss this with you! I am currently concentrating Economics for my exams and I love this subject so very much. I plan to commit my self to this stream for my career as well. I completely agree with your view, that you follow Lionel Robbins' definition. But remember, he wrote this in 1931. Now I could disagree and state that Adam Smith's definition on from "Wealth of nations", which is,"Economics is a science which studies the nature and causes of wealth of nations"(not that I do support it, I'm more Keynesian). Alfred Marshall's, A.C Pigou's, J.M Keynes and Benham's definitions are all not bad. Times change and so do views. Joesph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman and Amartya Sen have excellent definitions as well. What we must do, is accept them all and give equal importance or lack thereof. Why you may ask, because definitions will continue to come and will continue to disregard the earlier ones.

I actually have a strong urge to use Prof. Samuelson's definition, which states,“Economics is the study of how people and society end up choosing, with or without the use of money, to employ scarce productive resources that could have alternative uses to produce various commodities over time and distributing them for consumption, now or in the future, among various persons or groups in society. It analyses costs and benefits of improving patterns of resource allocation”. This in my opinion is the possibly the best neo-classical explanation, cause it is a growth definition. And for me, Economics is all about growth and development.

If I am bold enough to say, your view on Economics is a more Positive approach, and Macroeconomic. But Economics in your view would only alienate the opposite view. Economics is Normative, it is a balance of both Micro and macro economic approaches and it is not only a Science, it is an Art as well.

On your point about how "War is not the object of the economics science", please look up on this page: Expeditionary Economics. And more importantly the cause and effect of War is economic. Lionel Robbins proves it. Scarce resources, unlimited wants and alternative uses of them have resulted in nations fighting with one another, going to war to ensure that their wants are satisfied and that they have access to resources. Please look this up as well War.

You can now understand that Economics is a confluence of unlimited contradictions, differences in thought and aspect. But this is an encyclopedia, and thus, we cannot fight. we have to come to a consensus. And this is me trying to tell you that, not only is your view 1000% correct, the view of the current version of the article is also perfectly correct.

Thank you very much for this debate. Please continue if you wish, cause I'm loving it! The Wikimon (talk) 07:11, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikimon. Can't say as I agree it's an excellent article, at least not yet, but it's a start anyhow & thanks for the compliment. This is a new experience for me of sorts since of all the articles I've created here the last few years none have ever been slapped with a page curator thing. If there's anything you wish to do vis a vis expansion, by all means go for it. I've been seeing broadcast promos for the show and a Wiki search indcated no one had started an article for it yet so I took the bull by the horns. Unfortunately my web searches did't turn up a whole lot of information. Most of what I did find was a rehash of the same basic info covered in the FX network website. I hope as we get closer to premier airdate there will be more articles availabe on the net to source. Have a great Wiki kind of day! Sector001 (talk) 07:45, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikimon !

As I have been following or may be stalking would be a precise word on your usage with Twinkle and on CSD nominations, I would like to ask you to spare a bit of time to please to keep an eye on me. Is it possible for you ? Thanks Ghorpaapi (talk) 13:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey buddy, I'm actually a younger Wikipedian but yeah I have my fair share of exp on Twinkle and CSd, which I think I'm too implusively using... I need your opinion on that.. Sure I'll look up on you! I am humbled that you have been stalking my page cause I've been doing that since my first day... And surprisingly here its a good thing here! I'm gonna call you Ghor from now on, and you're no Ghorpaapi (its the Hindi meaning right?) The Wikimon (talk) 13:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Yes you are using it often and I am watching the special feed pages and the nominations and tags and you belong to one of the users who are helping me get to know it better.

(talk page stalker) GP, if you are searching for mentors, I suggest you go to Go Phightins. He is certainly experienced in mentoring and adopting new users.

@Wikimon — No offence to you, but I just thought an experienced editor will be able to tell about many more things a newer editor might not be able to tell about. Which reminds me — Have you considered being adopted? TheOriginalSoni (talk) 13:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He promised W-mon to set it up by the end of the week. I can put you on the waiting list if you'd like. I highly recommend it, as I was one of his adoptees.

Hi everyone! Like I told this happened on my first day, I've been blocked for account creation or something like that... Please let me know what is HAPPENING? And it says no expiry set? What does that mean? Thanks! The Wikimon (talk) 01:06, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, looking at the reason given, WP:CheckUser looked at your IP address, which I guess is in the same area as a vandal account, so apparently, it states that you may have used an account abusively. Also, by "no expiry set", that means that your block will not be able to expire. ZappaOMati 01:28, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Come on! Are you serious? But what did I do? Shouldn't I be pardoned cause revert vandalism and stuff? And I can't edit anyone's talkpage or any article so how do I communicate? You gotta help me buddy! The Wikimon (talk) 01:31, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guys you gotta help me here, somebody anybody!! The Wikimon (talk) 01:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I have said, it's most likely not you responsible, but just happens to be bad luck that your IP address/network was used by a vandal in the past. If you want to get out of this mess, you should use the {{Unblock}} template to ask for your block to be reviewed, and maybe an admin can lift your block. I'll try to see if I can get in contact with Timotheus Canens (talk · contribs) (the user that blocked you) to see if he can provide any input. ZappaOMati 01:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Wikimon. Your block has been marked as a checkuser-block, which means that it relies on checkuser data (information that is private and not normally accesible to users, even admins). Normal admins (like myself) don't have access to this data, so we cannot unblock you without checking with a checkuser (a person with access to the sensitive information in question). As such, I've marked your template above as "helped"; it's being looked at, and your unblock request is enough to draw attention anyway. Thanks; please be patient with us. :P Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 02:04, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikimon, I emailed Tim, the blocking admin, and asked him to give some explanation for the block. To me, blocking a contributor who is helping the project and is not being disruptive in anyway, whether or not they are a clean start, have edited previously, or otherwise is flatout reprehensible. I will wait to make that judgment here until we hear from Tim, but we can hardly blame you for your IP address Go Phightins! 02:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• WOW — I just saw this too. Basically what Writ Keeper says though. Maybe you have an IP address that used to belong to another user. I have your talk on my watchlist, and hopefully this can be resolved in short order. — Ched :  ?  02:12, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two things for you Wikimon: first, no one is calling you a loser. Have you seen the outpouring of support you've gotten? Two of them are administrators themselves who are surprised! And two: I don't know where you live/what time zone you're in. I am in the Eastern time zone, so for me, it is about 10:20. I'm going to go to bed and hope that when I wake up tomorrow, this will be fixed. I would suggest that maybe you would want to find an off-wiki way to kill a few hours, and hopefully you'll come back and this debacle will be resolved.

Thanks Wikimon. I don't know T. Canens personally or I might be tempted to just ask him to reconsider. I also don't have access to CU data, so I'm not sure how "stale" the old information on Vrghs jacob is. Their last edit was a full 2 years ago, and I think typically CU data is only considered valid for 3 months. Now perhaps that editor was using the account on another project more recently, or created some logable action more recently. Like Go Phightins, it's late for me as well; but I will follow-up on this when I get up tomorrow. I honestly do hope that it's a misunderstanding, and that on seeing your declaration of not being Vrghs jacob then TC will assume the best and unblock. I personally haven't seen anything you've done that is objectionable. Do you know if a WP:SPI was filed? Was there a discussion about this somewhere? Do you have any idea on why this came up? Why a CU was run in the first place? — Ched :  ?  02:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's exactly what I was wondering. Doesn't one have to have some sort of probable cause before running a CU? We still have yet to see evidence that Wikimon has been disruptive in any way. I see no SPI. I asked all of these questions to T Canens in an email, and have yet to receive a reply. And now I promise I will sign off for tonight. Go Phightins! 02:42, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here's the story. I was running a check on User:Ajayupai95, who appealed his block to BASC. Since I ran the original check that led to the block (logged at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vrghs jacob/Archive#21 February 2013), a fellow arbitrator and BASC member asked me if I could give him some pointers. Since it's been almost two months since I ran those checks, I do not remember the details. So I had to check Ajayupai95 again, and Wikimon popped up in the results. There was significant IP overlap, and the useragent was also pretty much identical. Moreover, I didn't find any other account editing from those IPs. T. Canens (talk) 04:44, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What you're saying is that Im Ajayupai95... How can that be? Please tell what I should do cause I'm not this guy.. I edit from my iPod and a college comp and once in a while from my community comp in my apartments... Surely is a misunderstanding right? Could this guy have used the college comp or community comp at the same time as I did or something like that? Please tell me what I could do o prove to you hat this is my first account... Check my contribs or something like that... The Wikimon (talk) 04:49, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am seeing way too many behavioral similarities to believe that the two of you are not related. I won't tell you what they are, because then you'll get harder to find on your next account, but it's pretty obvious that you're related, and I don't even have access to the CU data. --Rschen7754 07:25, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Come on!! It's almost like you're threatening me! How am I related? Look if you want proof then please I ask you to present it to me... I don't know how you came to the conclusion but Im not this guy! The Wikimon (talk) 07:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rschen, I have taken a really brief look at Ajayupai95 and his contributions, and though you are correct that there are some behavioral similarities. I guess my question is, which of those similarities are disruptive? I understand that socking is a concern and a problem, but what behavior led to the original block that all of these other blocks are warranted? I see Vrghs jacob had issues with copyright violations, but I have not seen any of that from Wikimon...though granted I haven't exactly been out looking for them, but the only similarity I see between Wikimon and Ajayupai is some personality characteristics, and none of the characteristics I see are disruptive. If they are socks, which I'll trust the CHU tools can determine, then I will live with it, but it still seems rather weird. Go Phightins! 10:30, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Come on GoP! You're suggesting behavioral similarities as well? What I mean is how can I sound or type like another guy? I just don't get this... Ok I'll let it go and let you decide whatever you have to... I'm getting too frustrated about it... The Wikimon (talk) 10:38, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They're editing in the same topic area (illusion of support), and nobody needs that many accounts (evading scrutiny). --Rschen7754 10:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True. And Wikimon, like I said, the behavior similarities I see are positive. You are both extremely enthusiastic about what you are doing. Topic areas, meh. We'll see. I will check back in a few hours. Go Phightins! 10:48, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How about attempting to deceive arbcom? T. Canens (talk) 13:27, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What precisely did he do to "deceive arbcom"? Go Phightins! 02:06, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd actually be interested in having one aspect clarified. Was the Ajayupai95 appeal made, or any other unblock appeals made, after this account was created? Ryan Vesey 02:16, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Ajayupai appeal was made just a week ago. Making an appeal while operating a sock? That counts as deception in my book. It's worth noting that Ajayupai95 also made a big fuss over his socking block back in February, and then suddenly stopped complaining after another checkuser confronted him directly about a sock he made. T. Canens (talk) 02:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then that's not my problem is it... He's stopped appealing so you start picking up others to torture! Do u know how I feel? After all that I've done, whic admit isn't much, that went all by the book. Wikipedia says NPOV, I say NPOV, they say use the teaHouse, I used it... Where I have I ever gone wrong that you want to block me indefinitely for? I mean there has to be some absolutely credible bias that I was bad for Wikipedia and I was better of not editing.., now this is a question you seem to be evading... I understand you have some awesome rights which you no doubt got for good reasons, but please wield it a little more sensibly... The Wikimon (talk) 02:41, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Tim, that's what I was trying to get clarified. I was unsure from my reading if the block had been based on an old appeal or if a new one occurred. Requesting an appeal of another sock outweighs any good actions taken by this account. We don't leave the good hand unblocked of good hand/bad hand blocks. Ryan Vesey 15:36, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what's wrong with you Canens, but that was pretty rude... Please read my post below. Why can't you just for once accept that I'm another guy? Is it that tough??? And why don't you get my point: I am helping Wikipedia and no disrupting it!! Have I ever caused a problem like that other guy? No I haven't!! The Wikimon (talk) 14:13, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I personally feel it's rather unfortunate that somebody who edited constructively for a month in good faith and without disruption is blocked indefinitely for suspected socking, when we let off editors with much more problematic behaviour with lesser sanctions. Still, this is a checkuser block so there's no real point arguing about it here. You have already appealed to arbcom, so I think you should be patient and wait for their decision.

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of Vrghs jacob (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. T. Canens (talk) 01:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Chamal!! Will wait for it...

And FYI Mr Canens: Hi there! I'm The Wikimon! Just today I got blocked by a Check User by the name Tim Canens for account creation. After persistent messages from friends of mine on Wikipedia, I got him to come and comment on my user page. The reason he gave was that my IP number was similar to that of another user by the name Ajayupai95. Now I don't know this dude, and I don't know how my IP got interlinked, but what I can tell you is that the exact same thing happened on my first day in Wikipedia on 12th March 2013. I was apparently blocked for one day! And in a few hours it got removed! I even recieved a message from Rschen7754 who told me I was behaviourally similar to Ajayupai95... I don't know how to react to that cause it sounds real absurd, so what I'll do is try to tell you guys to go thru my edits...

I am Counter Vandalism Academy student, a New Page patroller although I haven't got any special status for that! Not once have I been accused of vandalism, nor have I distrupted Wikipedia content. I have even proposed a Wikiproject and am in the process of getting Adopted by Go Phightins. Now was this guy like this? I don't think so... Please do what you have to and hopefully this speed breaker will be gone in a jiffy. I think this is a serious misunderstanding and can be solved real quickly! Thanks a lot and enjoy Wiking!

This is what I sent as soon as my unblock request was denied... Deceiving?? I think not... You may not have any hope in me but I will always keep hope in you I see the light... Didn't mean it in a rude way, just came out like that! The Wikimon (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• but what I can tell you is that the exact same thing happened on my first day in Wikipedia on 12th March 2013. I was apparently blocked for one day!

No you weren't. No block log or any account of the same on the tage page whatsoever. 117.194.85.18 (talk) 15:59, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't it? But it was. I even told Gareth Griffth Jones about it. Please look up on my first message of my talk page... The Wikimon (talk) 17:51, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ajay, a word of advice for you — Don't lie. Even if you lie, CU can find out who you really are. And you will be blocked again and again and again. There is only one way out of this — Just admit the truth, go off wikipedia for 6 months, and come back for a fresh start. If you do that, nobody is going to stop you from editing wikipedia ever again. [As long as you don't do anything wrong again] But if you lie again, you can stay for 2 weeks (as you've been doing) and you'll be blocked again. And your six months cut off will be even longer.

Just admit the truth, and come back after 6 months. Ask for being unblocked, and say you want a clean start. If there are any problems even after you've done that, mail any one of us — Gerda, or GoP or Yunshui or Soni. But you have to wait a full six months man. 117.194.80.51 (talk) 21:13, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Im sorry I don't know who you are, but I'm taking the advice of my buddies and am gonna fight it through. And I'm not lying. Let me tell this to you as calm as I can. I am not that guy, please stop it! I mean, why can't I be another guy, is it that tough? The Wikimon (talk) 00:00, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously. Stop lying. A CU is sufficient proof in itself, and your edit history has circumstantial evidence in itself. Your name is certainly Ajay, and your IP and behaviour are certainly similar to the blocked account ajayupai95. So could you be another guy? In some realm of impossibility, you might.Are you? Not in this universe. I could go on with all the circumstantial proof I see, but there is no point in doing so. So just give up, and admit your lie.
