User talk:Ruth Ifcher

Dear Ruth,

As a constable, I think there's something that will need your attention: One User:Vladimir Shpak created an Article called Vladimir Shpak. This is probably a mistake, as the info is such that he would have on his user page. It should be deleted, I think. SEO also sounds like a test rather than anything serious.

vandalism

Ruth

Is the vandalism over yet? I see no activity anymore. Robert Tito 22:19, 30 January 2007 (CST) I reinstalled Jeff Cook, but the jerks seem still busy playing fools. I think there is no damage other then name calling, though what they sent to Nancy was of no decency at all. Will do Robert Tito 22:43, 30 January 2007 (CST)

restoring damage

Hello Ruth,

I need your assistance in this: user Jeff Cook, whose name always popped up at the pages that were vandalized yesterday was banned by me. Apparently he was there just to see who it was and if he could help us. I resored his being blocked, YET he keeps getting autoblack-signals - he can't enter CZ. Please tell me where and what I can do to change that into good working order. There is no block to be found on Jeff Cook. So I don't know what to do to help him now. thanks if you havbe some solution for me to help him. kind regards, Rob Robert Tito 18:03, 31 January 2007 (CST) here is what I see now, this was not in place 30 mins ago: 14:47, 31 January 2007, Robert Tito (Talk) blocked #216 (expires 14:47, 1 February 2007) (unblock) (Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Jeff Cook". The reason given for Jeff Cook's block is: "vandalism")

defaults

Ruth, The standard setting should be default, not the vandalism setting. I think I will post a bug there. Most use DHCP so there will not be a problem, but that what you said is exactly what I think might have happened to Mr. Cook. having a steady fixed IP address. I will play with him - with his approval of course and see if I can revoke that by blocking then unblocking again as you suggested. I would prefer the create account an OPTION, not a set option - as vandals dont come here often, but yesterday it was rather much to do, and I had no notion who was on and who was not - quick action is then preferred. So I am going to opt for default: able to recreate. Hope you agree. Rob, tadaaa, or in US- pigeon, see ya :) Robert Tito 21:44, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Frank W Sweet article on "race"

Please examine the exchange at "Threatened Deletion" in Talk:Race. Less than 48 hours after my starting an article in my professional specialty, and before any editor in the workgroups have examined it, a constable has threatened to delete it. If this is a serious threat, I have little incentive to continue working on it or even to particpate in CZ. Frank W Sweet 22:31, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

I added further explanation at his talk User_talk:Frank_W_Sweet#Some_comments. Stephen Ewen 02:32, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

Content deletion/Personal essays

Hi Ruth. I don't see [this author] contributing anything to CZ, other than his repeated deletions of content in favour of rather bizarre personal essays. Shawn Goldwater 16:00, 8 February 2008 (CST)
