Sorry, didn't know it was an issue .. incidentally, you may be interested in WP:RENAME. Best, --EmbraceParadox (talk) 01:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If a user is blocked from editing, as an anonymous user, then to unblock them an administrator must know their exact IP address; otherwise it is impossible to unblock the correct address. This can be gotten by the user in three easy ways that I can think of:

1. Visiting Special:Mytalk, which sends the user to their talk page. In the case of this person, while not logged-in it would send them to the talk page of their IP address.
2. Attempting to edit a page, which causes the block message to be displayed. It should tell the user what their IP address is.
3. Using an external IP-displaying site which reveals to one their IP address without them needing technical knowledge. I don't know any in particular, but I'm sure that Google would make finding one trivial.

Once we have the IP address, it would be easy to check for blocks or range blocks, and then either grant the user (as a registered user) IP block exemption or to unblock the address.
I hope this helps; let me know if you need any further help with this. {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 04:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steve, reverting Jemmy is not a constructive manner in which to get your way. You may not be violating the letter of WP:3RR but you are certainly violating the spirit. I've tagged the section as {{disputed}} and hope to see no more mass-removals or reversions while both of you come to an agreement, pursue dispute resolution or disengage. Continuing to edit-war is only going to get you blocked. Sincerely, Skomorokh 13:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steve, we put the matter to a public hearing, and the community have rejected the inclusion of the Branden material. Consider this a friendly but final warning that re-adding it will more than likely result in your being blocked from editing. Sincerely, the skomorokh 22:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ongoing discussion about moving Criticism of Objectivism (Ayn Rand) to Criticism of Objectivism. You voiced an opinion about moving Objectivism (Ayn Rand) in September, so I though I should let you know. The discussion is here. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 14:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the book examines Rand's philosophy in-depth and makes a well-reasoned analysis. I didn't elaborate to avoid giving it undue weight. Idag (talk) 05:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Ayn Rand. Thank you. --Snowded TALK 08:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making these baseless accusations. I have responded to this false charge on your talk page and on the Ayn Rand talk page. --Steve (talk) 08:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Engage with the argument and not the person and you might have a case Steve. --Snowded TALK 08:43, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would be delighted to see you follow that good advice, Snowded. --Steve (talk) 08:55, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
