Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Community sanction/Archive3

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the Costa Rica article has been suffering a spat of vandalism lately from numerous anonymous users. I'm suggesting a temporary limited protection on the page to prevent anonymous and new users from editing the page. croll 02:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Requests for page protection should go to Wikipedia:Requests for Page Protection. --N Shar (talk • contribs) 02:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and semi-protected the page. N Shar is correct about where this sort of request normally goes. Best wishes. Durova^Charge! 02:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I figured I better direct people to Talk:Daniel Brandt myself. Zocky | picture popups 11:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This arbitration case has closed. For a period of six months, no single-purpose account may revert any edit made to the Derek Smart article. This article is referred to the Wikipedia editing community for clean-up, evaluation of sources, and adherence to NPOV. Any user may fully apply the principles of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to this article. Supreme Cmdr is banned from Wikipedia for one year. Supreme Cmdr and other surrogates of Derek Smart are also banned from editing Derek Smart, but may edit the talkpage. This is a summary of the remedy provisions of the decision. Administrators and and editors should review the complete text of the decision before taking any action. This notice is given by a Clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee.

There has been an old ISP abuse report sitting around Wikipedia:Abuse reports that has reached the contact phase. However, none of our contact people speak Spanish according to the list of contact people. Could some well-respected Spanish speaker take up the case at Wikipedia:Abuse reports/TV Cable S.A? Thanks.

You could toss up a request at the Spanish equivlent of the village pump on the Spanish wikipedia. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 18:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought of the Wikimedia Embassy system, where our local chapter is at Wikipedia:Local Embassy. However, I do not know if I should use the embassy on this Wikipedia, post an anonymous message at the Spanish Wikipedia at es:Wikipedia:Embajadas, or if I have found the wrong system to use. In short, I could use help in this area I have next to no knowledge on how to use this system, and am afraid I would make a fool of myself. Jesse Viviano 19:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you have the mail, I can translate and send it, get an answer and post it back. I have little time to create the mail for now, may be free enough next week if nobody takes this to do it all myself (although I am not sure about the well-respected part :-)). -- ReyBrujo 18:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to get in touch with User:Nick (formerly User:Heligoland), who investigated this case. I made the above notice when I realized that the Community Noticeboard was the perfect place for this request. Jesse Viviano 18:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
