Do you have source for it's Australian airdate? (See: [1])--Greasysteve13 06:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

- Uh... huh.--Greasysteve13 06:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- That's cos this is almost certainly a sock puppet of User:Jackp. --Merbabu 05:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Please use references (see WP:RS) for major additions or they will be removed. Your edit: [2] --Merbabu 14:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Still nothing you write has references. --Merbabu 11:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- No references for your edit to Twin Peaks either. [3] --Merbabu 12:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Kath & Kim characters
editI noticed you are creating character pages for some Kath & Kim characters. Assuming these articles even need to exist at all, they should be under the names Kim Craig, Sharon Strzelecki and Kath Day-Knight (or Kath Knight) There are no other people or characters sharing these names so disambiguation is not required. Articles are at their most commonly referred names, so Kath's full first name or middle name are not required. Let me know if you have any questions about this. -- Chuq 07:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Jackp-isms
editWhy do you change "Melbourne, Australia" to "Melbourne" [4] and then within 3 edits change Why do you change "London" to "London, England" [5]? This is exactly what indefinitely banned User Talk:Jackp and all his socks would do. --Merbabu 15:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Adding country names after major world cities
editI notice you have made some edits adding England after London or Japan after Tokyo. It is standard not to include the country name with major world cities such as these. Exceptions may be made in lists and tables (for example (List of cities by population), but in general prose it is not necessary. You have been informed of this before, please stop doing it. -- Chuq 13:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- What is "interesting" is how he actually removes Australia from after Sydney. He does this for no other city, rather, as you point out, he adds the country name. --Merbabu 13:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The question of Bateman's reality and whether he really comitted the murders
editHi Raptor. Thanks for the additions; I am also pleased you found another reference. But I am concerned this new section is too long, and disproportionate to the rest of the article. It really belongs in the Themes and Symbolism section because it concerns the same subjects. Rintrah 07:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's fine. Please also make sure none of the information is duplicated in the section; so if your additions cross over with any of the other parts of the article, either leave them out or delete the other parts. Thanks. Rintrah 08:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Sellicks Beach, South Australia has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant concerns. An example of notability guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (websites). If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

editContreversial
editI noted you've added "contreversial" to a few articles. Please spell-check your additions to WP. Happy editing! David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 13:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Please stop
editJack, I've noticed you continue to add country names after city names, yet you remove it from Sydney. Please stop or it will taken up with administrators. Please keep in mind that a a number of people who know that you are a sock of Jackp. Also, please make sure all your additions are well-referenced. [6] Merbabu 05:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- You've done it again.[7] Next time, I will post vandal warnings. regards Merbabu 10:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- At least I know now you do get the messages. The problem is that you remove it from Sydney, but add it to other cities. Just like you used to add tourist stuff to Sydney but remove it from any other city. Surely you can see the problem with that. It was half the reason your "good friend" Jackp got an indefinite block. But, I am glad that you said you will "give up" - and it is good to see that you are now adding the odd reference in some of your edits. regards Merbabu 10:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

editIf you wan to add the Australia release date fine, but please don't remove others, thanks --Nate1481 18:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Chloe sevigny.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Chloe sevigny.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Boogienights6_small.jpg
editThank you for uploading Image:Boogienights6_small.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. MECU≈talk 18:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Deliberate WP:FU violations
editThis is your last warning. The next time you vandalise Wikipedia, as you did to Chloë Sevigny, you will be blocked from editing. --Yamla 07:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Blocked
editYou are believed to be the same user as Jackp (talk · contribs). As such, you are not permitted to edit the Wikipedia. If you wish to assert that you are unrelated to this user, please add {{unblock}} to this page, along with your reasoning. --Yamla 07:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Marge Gunderson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Blocked because of a former blocked user?
editRaptorRobot (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I have been blocked because of a user under the name of "jackP", which is ridiculous because the administrators that blocked me have no proof what so ever that I am this former user, apart from an IP address -- which is small factual evidence to establish the truth of anything anyway. I don't even no why they suspect me of being he / she. If I was also blocked because of my edits, let me just say that my edits on Wikipedia have been reverted, and I have been warned, and I have followed what I was told....but all others have been contructive and useful, I am even responsible for getting Blue Velvet a peer reveiw, because users beleived it met the criteria of a GA, and if I was unblocked I'd only continue with the contructive, desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a the article, list ect. specified. In adition, I have spoken to another user on Wikipedia that was blocked because they where beleived to have been a sock of JackP...and this is unfair, because they cleary where not, and it is ludicros that users suspected of being JackP and aren't are blocked, it just isn't fair, and now it has to happen to me. Please, unblock me.
Decline reason:
The evidence of sockpuppetry is very convincing, you have already tried the goodwill of the community and I see no reason to overrule the blocking admin. Sorry. — Rockpocket 02:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Please stand by as I contact the blocking admin. Sandstein 20:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is ample evidence this is Jackp. Merbabu 20:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Could you provide that evidence, please? Sandstein 21:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Do you mean in addition to the IP address? Same poor unreferenced style. Fascination with Hollywood B-grade actresses and horror movies - the edits are often the same. Poor spelling. They are both identify as Jack. Removing the word 'Australia' from 'Sydney, Australia' yet, make the reverese change for Tokyo, London, and Toronto. [8] Jackp was a major pest on the Sydney article, and like Jackp, RaptorRobots edits to pop culture articles are poor quality. Also, you will find other similarities of editing amongst Jackp's many socks Merbabu 21:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I concur with Merbabu that these users and others (I recall a movielover93 or similar) are the same. Evidence would be similar travel guide style edits to major cities, especially Sydney, and the cases cited above. --Steve (Slf67) talk 21:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Could you provide that evidence, please? Sandstein 21:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

We know this user operates from the same address as JackP. We know this user's name is the same as Jackp's. We know they both edit the same articles. The style is the same. We know Jackp has used other accounts abusively. It seemed fairly clear-cut to me. --Yamla 23:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed the statement you added about her appearing in Welcome to the Dollhouse. If she is currently a teen, a bit of thought and simple math should tell you that would have made her 8 years old or less when the movie was filmed in 1995. Not the same Victoria Davis.
