Can't find the sockpuppet investigation referred to in the top template. Help? --Lexein (talk) 02:29, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly six years ago! Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Rootology. This was before the template was changed to default to SPI. Daniel (talk) 07:26, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alter ego

Hello, I noticed a problem on the above page and created a thread on the talk page, however, nobody has picked-up this thread in several days, so I ask for your advice and assistance, please see here:

It seems there is no mention at all of the common usage in regards to the synergistic relationship between two people, but rather singular focus on the dual personality expressed by some people (individuals) either in an intrinsic (probably autonomous, unintentional) psychological (clinical) sense or in an extrinsic (deliberate or intentional) acting or dramatic sense.

Since different people from different cultural backgrounds or from different disciplines may interpret the meaning of "alter ego" differently, this could be seen by some as controversial. However, several dictionary definitions (including Wiktionary), do make these different interpretations clear.

My sense is that probably the page started out as an article on psychology, then others added-in the bits about alter-egos in drama and the performing arts ... which, IMHO, just muddies the waters.

I am inclined to think that this page should become a disambiguation page, with sub-pages (per my talk page comments) for each of the specific usages. There are, of course, other ways to handle this to make clear each of the possible usages and interpretations of alter ego.

However, to avoid initiating an edit war, perhaps an interdisciplinary team should review this page and recommend what actions should be taken to make this page more helpful to the uninitiated.

Page: Fabien Biancalani

Hello,

you delete the page on Article Fabien Biancalani, while the statutory time was not reached, this artist is known in the world of music and film, it was an error on a probability hoax. Wikipedia rules were not respected on this point. What do you think? Thank you for your kind response.--Mediasurf2 (talk) 03:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated 23 December, deleted 30 December. That's 7 days, so your complaint regading time is erroneous in the extreme.
That being said, it was deleted because of the 'prod' process, so if you dispute it, I am compelled to undelete it straight away. Do you want to contest it?

Your upload of File:Aus Footy Stub-t.png or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
