Hi there, on the 5 of September you deleted the article about Ben Beever claiming the person is not noticeable enough. I've seen this person perform on several occasions for multinational events. I also know at one point, for a number of years, that he held the world record for highest number of balls juggled. I imagine that you are not a juggler and are therefore unaware of his notoriety in the juggling community, so I googled his name. In the first 100 results I spoted only 10 that did not refer to the person in the article of which only 3 where his own webpages. Any chance we can have the article back? I think the bridge people would be interested in his bridge work too, although I'm not sure if he is notable enough on the bridge scene. Thanks El grimley ( talk) 22:25, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey there. I saw that you added this to Jemesouviens32's userpage. While technically correct (or it would have been with {{sockpuppeteer|timeblocked|checked=yes|spipage=Jemesouviens32}}), I usually find that such a thing is unnecessary, for the users will want to remove the tags after they are unblocked. So in the cases where the master is not indefinitely blocked, I usually leave the userpage alone. I hope that makes sense; feel free to contact me if you don't. NW ( Talk) 23:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
There are a bunch of SPI cases right now that could use archival. Remember to make sure, for each case pending close, all blocked socks are properly tagged (with one of the {{ sockpuppet}} templates, either suspected or confirmed), that the appropriate sock categories are created via the {{ sockpuppet category}} template, and that all the accounts have been addressed. If it looks good, then go ahead and archive. If you have any other questions, then let me know. MuZemike 16:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
I am Lokesh Joshi and work for Bitstream Inc. ( http://boltbrowser.com). We have a very popular mobile browser called BOLT Browser which works on server client architecture. This has minimal load is on the client (mobile phone), and user can experience the Desktop Like browsing experience. For more information please see http://boltbrowser.com.
Recently many of our users reported the following error from Wikipedia while editing the content:
"174.132.56.156 has been disabled by the following reason(s): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or xombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia."
I request you please consider BOLT as legitimate cloud computing based mobile browser. This is not at all an open proxy and users will have to use BOLT client to work through the BOLT servers. More over the originating IP of the handset is available in the headers, so the individual user can be tracked in abuse cases.
Please let me know the steps we can do for the same. I can send the list of the IPs owned by BOLT Browser.
Regards
Lokesh —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lokeshjoshi ( talk • contribs) 10:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Let me briefly go over how to redirect SPI cases. As you know, we get users who create SPI cases under the wrong sockmaster (i.e. a person would file an SPI case on a sock and not under the person behind all the socks, which makes it more difficult for people as well as SPCUclerkbot to track). The clerk instructions are outdated because of the additional functionalities that SPCUclerkbot now has (that is, we no longer do pagemoves). In a nutshell, here's how to redirect SPI cases:
For an example, here's what I did with a user who incorrectly filed a case in which User:TheBeatles420 is the sockmaster. A user created an SPI case under the IP 75.89.235.174 (see [1]). Using the steps above, I redirect the case to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TheBeatles420, as shown [2]. I then successfully recreate the SPI case [3], in which I proceed from there.
If you have any questions about how to redirect SPI cases, let me or another clerk know. I may not be on IRC as often anymore as my new ISP is apparently blocking nearly every port that allows me to connect. MuZemike 20:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Lazulilasher -- I just joined WikiProject France. I am interested in French drama, particularly the work of Jean Giraudoux. It seems to me that there is not a lot of recent activity on French culture articles. For example, even an important work like Sartre's No Exit has a very minimal article with few references or sources. I am particularly disappointed that there seems to have never been any serious work on Jean Giraudoux's plays. I started out by pretty much single-handedly writing an article (such as it is) on Giraudoux's play Ondine. I have found a couple people who do occasional contributions. Can you give me any advice on drumming up interest in French drama? See my personal page Project on 20th century French drama for my rough ideas on the whole subject.
By the way, how did you get the words, "Transportation, Alsace, French landmarks" under Interests on the page Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members? I would like to add the words, "20th century French drama" to my interests.
I wish you luck in your efforts to revive Wikiproject France. Let me know if there is something I can do to help. I am good at organization. Thank you for your time. -- Foobarnix ( talk) 02:34, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

So in the cases where the master is not indefinitely blocked, I usually leave the userpage alone. I hope that makes sense; feel free to contact me if you don't. NW ( Talk) 23:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
There are a bunch of SPI cases right now that could use archival. Remember to make sure, for each case pending close, all blocked socks are properly tagged (with one of the {{ sockpuppet}} templates, either suspected or confirmed), that the appropriate sock categories are created via the {{ sockpuppet category}} template, and that all the accounts have been addressed. If it looks good, then go ahead and archive. If you have any other questions, then let me know. MuZemike 16:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
I am Lokesh Joshi and work for Bitstream Inc. ( http://boltbrowser.com). We have a very popular mobile browser called BOLT Browser which works on server client architecture. This has minimal load is on the client (mobile phone), and user can experience the Desktop Like browsing experience. For more information please see http://boltbrowser.com.
Recently many of our users reported the following error from Wikipedia while editing the content:
"174.132.56.156 has been disabled by the following reason(s): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or xombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia."
I request you please consider BOLT as legitimate cloud computing based mobile browser. This is not at all an open proxy and users will have to use BOLT client to work through the BOLT servers. More over the originating IP of the handset is available in the headers, so the individual user can be tracked in abuse cases.
Please let me know the steps we can do for the same. I can send the list of the IPs owned by BOLT Browser.
Regards

Let me briefly go over how to redirect SPI cases. As you know, we get users who create SPI cases under the wrong sockmaster (i.e. a person would file an SPI case on a sock and not under the person behind all the socks, which makes it more difficult for people as well as SPCUclerkbot to track). The clerk instructions are outdated because of the additional functionalities that SPCUclerkbot now has (that is, we no longer do pagemoves). In a nutshell, here's how to redirect SPI cases:
For an example, here's what I did with a user who incorrectly filed a case in which User:TheBeatles420 is the sockmaster. A user created an SPI case under the IP 75.89.235.174 (see [4]). Using the steps above, I redirect the case to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TheBeatles420, as shown [5]. I then successfully recreate the SPI case [6], in which I proceed from there.
If you have any questions about how to redirect SPI cases, let me or another clerk know. I may not be on IRC as often anymore as my new ISP is apparently blocking nearly every port that allows me to connect. MuZemike 20:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Lazulilasher -- I just joined WikiProject France. I am interested in French drama, particularly the work of Jean Giraudoux. It seems to me that there is not a lot of recent activity on French culture articles. For example, even an important work like Sartre's No Exit has a very minimal article with few references or sources. I am particularly disappointed that there seems to have never been any serious work on Jean Giraudoux's plays. I started out by pretty much single-handedly writing an article (such as it is) on Giraudoux's play Ondine. I have found a couple people who do occasional contributions. Can you give me any advice on drumming up interest in French drama? See my personal page Project on 20th century French drama for my rough ideas on the whole subject.
By the way, how did you get the words, "Transportation, Alsace, French landmarks" under Interests on the page Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members? I would like to add the words, "20th century French drama" to my interests.
I wish you luck in your efforts to revive Wikiproject France. Let me know if there is something I can do to help. I am good at organization. Thank you for your time. -- Foobarnix ( talk) 02:34, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

You seem to have contributed significantly to the article on Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette. However, some references refer to books that are not explained in the article. I now added "Hirschfeld" and "Broadwell", please check that the editions don't differ (if they were by you). Moreover, could you supply the other remaining ones, including "Kennedy" and "Hampson" (if by you)? -- Arrala ( talk) 19:40, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
