An Apology and Deletion of Ten Posts
Earlier today you typed a message on my talk page involving the repetitive editing of one of my blog posts. I would like to say sorry for inconveniencing you as a content moderator, and that it will not happen again.

In addition, I have decided to start off the month of December by going through my blog posts, and seeing which ones merited deletion - I choose the following ones, which I request you delete when you can.

Just Practice, That's All (August 25, 2017) Unneeded as this Wiki has a sandbox.

Testing (August 29, 2017) Chosen for deletion for the same reason as the blog post above.

Defining LOCC (Language Of Ordinal Construction) (September 24, 2017) Too Ill-defined and weak to serve a useful purpose.

The Most Powerful Array Notation Yet Devised (September 24, 2017) Naive statement in title, naive content in post.

A Revised Fast Growing Hierarchy and Extended Copy Notation (October 12, 2017) The existence of this blog post was only due to a misunderstanding I had.

Higher Dimensional Spaces (October 16, 2017) Reflects an inaccurate understanding of the differences between cardinals and ordinals, and why it makes no sense to speak of a realm with \(\omega+1\) dimensions.

The Timeline Function (October 22, 2017) Much talk, little formality.

A Common Hyperbole (November 4, 2017) Spatial intuition is more powerful than temporal intuition.

An Intriguing Discovery (November 19, 2017) There was never such a discovery, I just posted this because I was impatient for April fool's to arrive and wanted to pull one over people quick. I know this behavior isn't acceptable, a second apology has been given.

how not 2 write a bolg psottt (November 23, 2017) What was intended to be a witty and satirical post ended up being worse than the posts I was writing about !

(P.S. There is a user by the name of "MachineGunSuper" who has made several blog posts of various salad numbers recently, and has appeared at roughly the same time TinyTrump1 appeared. You may want to keep a watch on him in case he turns out to be another sock puppet account of Superman37891.)

 * I don't like deleting old blog posts. You can ask another admin if you want. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 14:58, December 2, 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay. Edwin Shade (talk) 15:13, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

On the BFDI Wiki
Can you please unblock me? I think I get one more chance. 02:45, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Probably not. I think the other administrators blocked you for a good reason. Many times, in fact, so I think an indefinite block is justified. -- ☁  I want more clouds! ⛅ 08:06, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * I know. I mean, I definitely do deserve a block, but not forever. I think someone should reduce the ban. Plus, the block is a little bit biased, Depry said many times that “I really loathe that user [me].” So maybe, I think if not unblocked, could you reduce the ban to maybe, like next year or something? I a, sorry for anything bad I have done on that wiki. IloveRumania (Signature 3).png 15:44, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Cloudy176 did give you one more chance, on November 8, 2017; your block log itself says it. It also appears you've made numerous sock puppet accounts, which makes you accountable for evading a block. Edwin Shade (talk) 16:05, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Are you talking to me? I aphave not made any sockpuppets since “27ITBN”. (In other words, that was my last sockpuppet made) IloveRumania (Signature 3).png 16:09, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * True, but nonetheless you've created 12 sock-puppet accounts in the hopes of evading a ban, rather than perhaps taking to something else more worthwhile of your time. Perhaps Cloudy176 may decide to unban you on this Wiki, and after proving you can make some constructive edits, you can be unbanned on the BFDI Wikia. Edwin Shade (talk) 16:19, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * THIS USER IS FULL OF CONTRASTS First he says "I want to get unbanned", and then he says "I definitely do need a block" WHAT IS HE SAYING--A Random Flower (talk) 04:30, January 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * I definitely need a block, but not forever. IloveRumania (Signature 4).png 17:35, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay. I don’t know if I am making good-faith edits or not; can you please give me the link to the rules page? IloveRumania (Signature 4).png 17:37, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

Share Bear's Number
Why has this been deleted? --109.40.0.225 16:01, December 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Because it has no sources, and in addition, the description doesn't seem to describe the number on the picture correctly. Here's what the article looked like (contributors were Bardock SSJ 5, Username5243, ArtismScrub, Unknown95387, 109.40.1.229, and Bubby3):

Share Bear's Number is a number that was used in Care Bears. This number is approximately equal to 19.4641016151 = sqrt3(1.73205080757) + 7 × 4 + 2! (two).


 * See if it actually warrents deletion or not. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 16:15, December 23, 2017 (UTC)

Request for deletion
Can you delete 16316312? The reason why I made this redirect is to redirect the number into the article (but as of today, it is no longer exist). ARsygo (talk) 15:47, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

500000000000
Please create this page with the content of the section “Currency-related use” of the deleted page Seinfeldplex. --109.40.1.247 16:46, December 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Done. --109.40.1.247 16:53, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

101
Should be turned into a redirect to Numbers in group theory, as mentioned on its talk page. --109.40.3.61 16:53, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Numbers with commas
If I enter “Eyelash Mite”, I see the sentence “Did you mean Eyelash mite?”. Can we add a function, such that entering numbers with commas (such as 299,792,458) will give a similar sentence (in this case, “Did you mean 299792458?”)? --109.40.3.61 17:37, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Module:String
Can we import ? --109.40.3.61 19:14, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Done (by someone else). -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 15:42, January 13, 2018 (UTC)

Confusable proposed SI prefixes
Since Pica- and Pici- are firstly unsourced, secondly possibly too large/small for any practical use, and thirdly easily confused with a Czech vulgarity, I request the deletion. --109.40.3.91 17:25, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think the "possibly too large/small for any practical use" claim is valid here, as this is Googology Wiki, where we have prefixes for 10^3000 and higher values. The other points might hold, however. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 17:36, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * The third point may also be invalid, because Googology Wiki has some other prefixes that also sound vulgar (Vagia-, anyone?) or sound similar to an automobile or whatever else. The first point still holds though. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 04:26, January 18, 2018 (UTC)

Can you delete the unsourced pages Pica- and Pici-? --109.40.2.77 10:09, January 18, 2018 (UTC)

And Zenti- is already used in German. --109.40.2.77 16:56, January 18, 2018 (UTC)

Template:Deleted
Thanks for fixing the template, but is there a way to show more than one “delete” thing or whatever? For example, this page. http://comic-mode.wikia.com/wiki/Purple_Marker https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/polandball/images/b/b6/Jupiter-icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20150726054232  Yes, I know my signature is a license plate.  https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/polandball/images/1/1a/IloveRumania-icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20170929144757 But you can ask me why here.  17:14, January 18, 2018 (UTC)

About the unblock
So now I am making good-faith edits, so if I make enough good-faith edits, may you please unblock me or reduce the ban?

 * No, I don't think working here will affect your block on another wiki. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 08:58, January 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Some other user said “maybe if you make good-faith edits on this wiki, then maybe you could get unblocked on the BFDI Wiki” somewhere on your talk page.

 * I don't think being a good contributor here will affect your block on the BFDI Wiki, because the block on that wiki was made by the community of that wiki, and not just by me. I don't think improving a wiki that I'm in will help much -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 07:45, January 20, 2018 (UTC)

Your user name or IP address has been blocked. The block was made by Derpyunikitty.

You can contact Derpyunikitty or another Special:ListUsers to discuss the block. Please include all details in the above box in any queries you make. Honestly, I think she permablocked me for “ban evasion and sockpuppetry”. I also cannot edit my talk page. Please. I would do anything (except disabling accounts) to get unblocked or the ban reduced.

 * Reason given: Continuing to break rules continuously after being blocked. This was the last straw.
 * Start of block: 15:10, November 16, 2017

Googood- numbers
The numbers Googoodi, Googoodij, Googoodiv, Googoodvi, Googoodvij, Googoodix, Googoodxi and Googoodxij all have invalid sources. Can we delete these? --109.40.2.77 12:57, January 21, 2018 (UTC)

Restoration of 777

Possible systematic vandalism in the comments of my blog posts
There's a new unregistered user (IP 191.115.15.51) who does nothing but comment on my blog posts with nonsense. Some of these comments also contain questionable wiki code.

And this guy hasn't done anything else here. Not a single edit anywhere else. So there's no way these comments were made in good faith. The guy is obviously picking specifically on my blog posts (I don't know why, and quite frankly niether do I care), and his behavior is way out of line.

Please delete his disruptive comments and warn him to never do it again.

Thank you PsiCubed2 (talk) 11:53, February 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * It just happened again (with two very similar IP addressess). Please remove the offensive content and block the IP's.


 * BTW both times it happened right after Edwin Shade began behaving crazy. I suspect these IP addressess are his. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PsiCubed2 (talk • contribs) 07:29, February 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * Deleted the comments and warned the IP. I don't think that IP address is Edwin's though, because that IP likes to edit the faketest sections of my user page, but not Edwin (in fact, he nominated one of the pages for deletion). -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 08:16, February 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * ::Thank you. At any rate I'm afraid what you just said isn't evidence either way, because Edwin is doing many things lately that he wouldn't normally do. And the timing is suspicious.

Swastika-shaped Unicode characters
Can you add a comment to MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist? --92.216.174.173 18:03, February 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Nah, they are not being used in page titles frequently enough to justify addition. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 18:05, February 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * It doesn't mean 10,000 in Chinese, though. That site you linked to on your user page is just trolling, and in pretty poor taste too. Using the symbol for legitimate reasons is one thing. Using it as a joke and/or in order to annoy people, is another thing entirely.
 * BTW The Chinese symbol for 10,000 is 萬 (or 万), as you could have verified yourself if you bothered to spend 20 seconds on wikipedia to double-check your facts. PsiCubed2 (talk) 21:16, February 20, 2018 (UTC)


 * I like accuracy as much as the next person, but I think Cloudy can do what he wants with his user page, even if it's trolling. If you haven't read it yet, I wrote a message on your talk page a while back about comments like this. I really don't like to see two contributors like yourselves getting into unnecessarily combative discussions.


 * Please, loosen up and let Cloudy be. To: Grumpy Old Psi TM, (it's just a joke). From: Wikity Split (talk) 21:45, February 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, I read somewhere that the character 万 is based on the swastika. I haven't verified it yet though. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 04:15, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

Permission Request
May I make a user page under your name which gives a chronological list of your frequent user page italics? It seems to be a uniquely "Cloudy" mannerism which is worth preserving, if not for historical value then at least for the funny aspect of it.


 * Yes. When it comes to my user page, it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 03:37, February 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, you're blocked now. Guess I should make that page myself. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 03:38, February 24, 2018 (UTC)

That's okay. By the way, I noticed your new italics: At least Wikity doesn't do inappropriate page moves. You got to admit, that will really rustle PsiCubed2's jimmies. The Oxymoronically Unobvious Suspect (talk) 04:23, February 24, 2018 (UTC)

Category:Joyce's unsourced numbers
Now approximations will be added to many pages in this category. Can you delete some pages in the category? --84.61.216.30 10:58, March 1, 2018 (UTC)

Those pages have "candidate for deletion" for a long time but not deleted. If they are planned to be really deleted, then I will skip them in the "advanced approximation project" (the approximations require much work). &#123;hyp/^,cos&#125; (talk) 11:07, March 1, 2018 (UTC)

10451
Can you delete the article about this number? At Category talk:Unnamed numbers with articles, most users voted for the deletion of this article. --84.61.216.30 22:24, March 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * The polls there look suspicious to me. Every poll except for the poll for 10451 has 33 votes each, all voting the "merge" option. This might mean that someone voted multiple times using multiple IPs, or somebody recruited other people with the same opinion to vote for the same options.
 * And even if you ignore that, it doesn't appear to be the case that most users voted for the deletion of the 10451 article in its respective poll. The poll currently has 16 votes on "keep", 2 on "merge to Numbers in engineering", 2 on "merge to Unnamed numbers with unrelated facts", and 16 on "delete". There are same numbers of votes on the keep and delete option, which means that there's no consensus yet and the article shouldn't be deleted right now. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 14:04, March 2, 2018 (UTC)

FANDOM's response about the sockpuppet issue
I have previously sent a message to FANDOM about this issue, and got this response. This was originally posted as a comment on a deleted blog post by one of the Edwin sockpuppets.

semanticdrifter, Feb 25, 6:55 PM UTC:

Hi,

I'm afraid there isn't any quick fix here. Vandals and trolls can make a new account quite easily, and they can easily switch IP to get around any IP block.

But the good news is that there is a longer fix. And it's exactly what you are doing. We call the method revert/block/ignore. All you need to do is revert or delete as needed to remove the problem text or images, block the user, and otherwise ignore them completely

The idea is that trolls like this are looking for a reaction. So if you don't give it to them, there is a greater chance of them moving on.

If the trolling becomes a bigger problem, there are things we can do to help.

One option is to change the settings to allow logged-in users only. Of course the troll can make accounts, but it gives an extra step to slow him down. You can do this yourself via Special:WikiFeatures

We can also ask the VSTF to watch the wiki for a while, although they tend to look at cases with very large-scale vandalism

We can also look at other tools, although none are completely effective. So for now I suggest keeping on with revert/block/ignore. You may have to do this regularly for quite a while, but if you think of it as one of your daily admin chores, cleaning up after him, then it soon becomes routine and quick. And that will keep the balance of power in your hands!
