Lost AFD

Hi, just to let you know, something went wrong when you relisted this AFD but accidently commented it out, and it is still open. Should I re-list it? or as you are an admin and didn't participate you could close it? ascidian | talk-to-me 18:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that notification, Ascidian! I think I'll be staying away from AfD for a while (or at least not with the use of the closer tool). The consensus seemed to be 'delete', to I closed it and took appropriate action. Very sorry about this mistake! —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 02:01, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
No worries, we all make mistakes sometimes! Thanks for fixing it, regards, ascidian | talk-to-me 16:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I plan to contest your speedy deletion of this, you did not even inform me that it was up for speedy, it's not a new article, and was improperly deleted. This one should have been AfD at most. Is there a reason you did not notify me, as is standard procedure on such an older non-nonsense article? Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Chris. First, it's usually standard procedure for the person nominating it for speedy deletion to notify the creator, not the deleting admin (this is usually redundant, and therefore not commonly done). Granted, I definitely should have checked, though I don't normally do this because it's commonplace (and is even noted in the template) for the tagger.
Second, the article did not assert a whole lot of notability. Calling her an 'actor, model, idol' (etc.) still does not show us that she is notable enough for a Wikipedia article. With that said, however, this appears to show just enough media coverage, in my opinion, to pass. I'm going to undelete this, because she seems notable enough to have an article of her own, even if the article did not assert much notability. Please edit the article further to show evidence of notability, or it could be re-tagged.
Hope this wasn't too much of a bother for you. :-) Cheers, —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 00:09, 16 February 2009 (UTC).
Thank you, and sorry if I wigged. :) Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 04:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
ps, when will you undelete? And I'm sorry, I did not know how to see the history once it disappeared to know who tagged it. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 04:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Now seems a good time, since you are signed in and can edit it as soon as it's recreated. :-) —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 04:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and a request

Thanks for signing up at Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add {{Wikipedia:Peer review/PRbox}} . Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:15, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Open Proxies

I have several questions : 1. What is an open proxy? 2. How is an open proxy disruptive? 3. What is a zombie computer? 4. What is a Static IP address? 5. What is a Dynamic IP address? 6. ^ overall, what is the difference between a static IP address and a Dynamic IP address? 7. And how exactly does an open proxy constantly change IP addresses?

these articles: Zombie (computing) IP address WP:Proxy are very unclear to me. So could you please answer these questions? Reliable Forevertalk 22:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem, RF. An open proxy in its general sense is a proxy that anyone can use. Now, in the specific, more Wikipedia sense, open proxies are usually anonymising IP addresses that allow one to edit while hiding your computer's IP address. So if you used an open proxy with the IP address 11.11.11.11 and your (the one your internet service provider gave) IP address is 212.33.566.01, in Wikipedia's edit history it would completely mask your IP address and show up as 11.11.11.11. It is a bit difficult to explain, but I think that gives you the idea. Basically, these are blocked pretty much for the reason expected: open proxies allow vandals to edit under a different IP even after they have been blocked indefinitely by their home IP address. Also, the edits are so difficult to track from these proxies that we find it is just easier to block them immediately when they are identified. Does that answer you question?
Now, a zombie computer is (again, trying to answer this to the best of my knowlege without being particularly computer-knowledgeable) a computer that has been taken over by a hacker using a virus or something similar. The computer is then used to perform illegal or otherwise bad tasks while the computer's owner, who doesn't know the computer is being taken over, gets blamed for everthing that the hacker is doing. This allows the hacker to do whatever they want without getting caught, because they are controlling a 'zombie' (i.e., one's computer, without consent).
A static IP address is just an IP that remains 'static' and does not change. A dynamic IP is one that frequently changes, like those that sockpuppets use to evade blocks to further vandalise. Open proxies do not rapidly change IP addresses; I think that is where you are confused. They merely hide your IP address and use the proxy's name (the IP, like 11.11.11.11) instead, so you can do things without getting caught. This is why many people don't like open or anonymising proxies, even outside of Wikipedia. They tend to be used by hackers and computer criminals to hide personal information that could help them get caught.
Hope this helped you, RF! —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 15:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Good explanation, Mizu ;) I'd add that some Internet Service Providers assign their customers' IP addresses dynamically (I believe British Telecom do so in the UK), so you get a different IP address every time you connect, while others give their customers static addresses that rarely change (a UK example is Virgin Media). Having a dynamic IP doesn't mean you're a sockpuppet, it just depends on who you get your internet access from. That can make spotting proxies difficult though :P EyeSerenetalk 17:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Ah, yes. Thanks for touching up on that, ES. :-) —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 04:23, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

?

see this : [1] . after 96.11.189.125 was blocked, 75.219.204.39 appeared on 96.11.189.125's talk page, saying this : [2]. In this case, Zagalejo gave the first and only warning to 96.11.189.125 . Could you please check that out? (it's a little bit suspicious) . Reliable Forevertalk 19:12, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Wait. see this also: [3]... It turns out 75.219.204.39 IS 96.11.189.125 ... Reliable Forevertalk 16:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
I was in the process of handling this issue when the server apparently experienced some issues again. So, I will try to pick this up where I left off in taking care of said anon. Thanks for being patient, RF. :-) —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 01:53, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Alrightie. I'm going to leave this one 'as-is' because 75.219 has not make further edits and 96.11 is blocked. However, if you see any more suspicious activity with these two, or if you see another sock, please let me know. I'll be keeping watch with you.
Much appreciated, you're doing a great job. :-) —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 02:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello there!

I was looking around the adopt a user page and saw your name/description/interests etc and was wondering if you would be willing to adopt me! I was on Wikipedia for a while before, but then took a (very) long hiatus and am now looking for a new hobby and pastime to get into (again). Sometimes school will eat my life but I want to have a pretty regular presence around here.

Anyway, let me know! Thank you very much. ---Galaxy250 (talk) 18:24, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
