I thought that when you spend around the same as Non-Stop (film) on a movie and don't even cover your budget, that was a box office bomb. I was mistaken, sorry about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteelerFan1933 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sir ... User:Itcouldbepossible this is my original account I've accidentally created this account User:AAhap36 and this account is blocked... Now this is User:Itcouldbepossible my original account please give me admin rights ... I need it . 2409:4060:2D93:270A:0:0:5848:4005 (talk) 10:59, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- (talk page stalker) 2409:4060:2D93:270A:0:0:5848:4005, I don't know what to do here as I'm not an administrator. After a brief glance at AAhap36's talk page, I believe you are simply Shaiksuhana2 but logged out, as Itcouldbepossible uses Alliance Broadband rather than Reliance Jio Infocommunications. Now, just to inform you, Ohnoitsjamie is not a bureaucrat, as only they (bureaucrats) have the right to assign the "administrator" right to others. To add to the difficulty, you can only become an admin through some really intense process called requests for adminship.
- Also, @Itcouldbepossible—courtesy ping, if you want some insight on this. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 13:35, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- 3PPYB6 Oh, thanks for the ping! I already know about this mess. This IP or IP range had created an account and made this same type of request on GeneralNotability's talk page. Firefly removed the message and blocked the account. Now it is back and making another of his silly requests. By the way, how did you come to know I use Alliance Broadband? Did I mention it somewhere? I don't recall it. Would you mind telling me how you gathered this piece of information. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:55, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Itcouldbepossible—You disclosed it at User talk:AAhap36#Blocked as a sockpuppet. Side note, Ohnoitsjamie… I'd suggest blocking the /64 range for this IP as it is probably block evasion. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 15:01, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was a 6mo range block, but it's actually of a 3 Mobile telephone company range - lots of mobile users, fast-changing IPs. It came to my attention from a reasonable user whose phone service was blocked - David Gerard (talk) 23:09, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- OK; the LTA has been dormant awhile, but they were using that range pretty consistently for awhile. I've bookmarked it for later reference. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:14, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First, thank you for blocking user Seven Years Turners today. I just wanted to call to your attention that it appears likely that there is a fair possibility that the user is a registered name for IP user 50.228.19.234. I noted this because an edit you reverted on the Washington Capitals article from Seven Years Turners was identical to an edit I reverted two days ago from the IP user, and the IP user (like Seven Years Turners) has an edit history consisting of a lot of edits to sports-related articles with a focus on single-season articles for specific teams. I doubt any particular action is needed at this time, but we'll see whether the IP user resumes activity (most recent edits yesterday; I have not had time to look at them). 1995hoo (talk) 20:55, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the heads up; I'll keep an eye on that IP and range. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:56, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I see it's now irrelevant because someone else blocked the IP editor. Sorry to waste your time! 1995hoo (talk) 20:04, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- No, not a waste of time! I didn't realize SYT was an LTA. Good to communicate these things. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see you were the one that last protected SML (Youtuber)... In any case, that page has just been recreated and it's of very low quality (all the sources are Youtube or fandom wikis; the tone is entirely unencyclopedic, ...). Just letting you know - I don't know the particulars, but it's a new account with nearly no other edits, recreating a page which has seemingly been previously deleted, so that's immediately suspicious. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:01, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Could be the LTA; I'll keep an eye on them. Moving to draft is fine, it's not going anywhere in that state. Thanks! OhNoitsJamie Talk 04:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
New administrator activity requirement
The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
- Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
- Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period
Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Hey! Just a quick courtesy note to let you know I've modified your block of 78.2.0.0/16 to allow account creations — the disruption appeared to be only coming from logged out users, and we'd received a request from someone inadvertently caught in the range.

Hi again. Going back to your most recent archived talk, under the heading "Same IP? (Australia WP:CIR user)", re the earlier discussion, I think that this one shows remarkably similar traits: 49.178.99.219. Would you please have a look and see if you can determine anything? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Aaand I suspect that 49.178.132.148 might be our old friend again, although slightly less belligerent so far. Pattern of editing looks similar though, as in topics, bare urls, etc. I don't have time to follow up all of the changes now, will check again tomorrow if you don't get there before me. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:08, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks! Yep, same voice. I've blocked that range and added known ranges above. Let me know if I've missed any. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:07, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, Jamie. I'll keep an eye out, but I don't know how to recognise ranges. I just notice odd edits and then look what else that IP has done. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:40, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Interestingly, when I inadvertently started to edit without logging in today (computer switchover happening at the moment), it told me that my IP was blocked, based on that first range above! It doesn't bother me, as I have an account, obviously - but presumably that means that the pesky user is using the same range of IP addresses as mine? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:06, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Every once in awhile I'll try to edit something from my phone, and if my login has expired, I encounter the block that seems to be semi-permanent on my mobile provider's large ipv6 range. The UK and Australia both seems to use dynamic IP assignments for residential customers more frequently than some other areas, which makes more targetted blocks tricky unfortunately. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:12, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I see - thanks for the explanation. Well so long as it keeps the malign editors out, I suppose we just have to accept it as collateral damage if it also blocks a few potential newbies... Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:27, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wondering about this one - the pattern looks similar. Blocked by another admin, but do they need a longer block? 103.246.39.1
Laterthanyouthink (

[reply]
- Hmmm, and I suspect this one as well - similar pattern although not quite as damaging, yet. 49.178.159.239. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:02, 5 June 2022 (UTC) @Ohnoitsjamie:, in case you missed this yesterday? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:29, 6 June 2022 (UTC) p.p.s.

Hi Jamie. What do you think of these wholesale removals of content from Russian related articles? Some of the content that was removed (the one that I checked), such as this one, is easily attributable and I would of have added the RS and left it at that if this was a one off, but the rate at which they are removing the content, instead of tagging it, means that I (or others) won't be able to keep up. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 00:46, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- For content that doesn't intersect WP:BLP or is otherwise not particularly controversial or dubious, I'd lean toward CN-tagging rather than wholesale deletion. You could try restoring some of the material you think is salvageable with a CN tag. If they challenge that, then you can seek wider input. OhNoitsJamie Talk 05:01, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. It looks like they attracted the attention of other editors (after another 150 edits or so). I'll await their response to the concerns that have been raised on their talk page. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 14:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Idolings (talk) 12:45, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- A disruptive user kept recreating the article after warned not to, so it was salted. If you draft is accepted via the WP:AFC process, it can be "unsalted". OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not sure if I’m doing this correctly, so apologies. I am trying to add history and information to the Part Time band wiki page and it keeps getting deleted or replaced. I believe you have left me a message so i am just trying to find out why it keeps getting deleted. My write up had many sources that are still available. I would like to replace it with correct information as well as remove the false information of the wiki such as “domestic abuse” and issues with the label that are wrong, and i would like to add history as well as new information regarding the band. They are still present, the members have changed, and they are now on a new label. The constant removal if the information seems like a concentrated attack that has no place for a website of free knowledge. Thank you for your time i look forward to talking -Kerberosmusic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kerberosmusic (talk • contribs)
- The messages on your talk page explain why it was deleted. Please take the time to read them. You don't get to remove well-sourced material that you don't like. New material must be written in a neuteral point-of-view and be attributable to a reliable source. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:34, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I probably messed up at Linda Elriani. After asking for protection, I wrote a talk-page message explaining that the sourcing was unreliable anyway (New York Post). After I'd posted it, I noticed that someone has rev-delled all the IP allegations. Since I alluded to what the allegations were in my talk-page message, you might want to rev-del me too? I didn't say anything explicit about it, but was aiming to give some explanation to the IP editors, who I felt were probably impossible to contact via their talk-pages. Sorry! Elemimele (talk) 22:56, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jamie. Hope you are doing well. I was thinking to propose, addition of qadrishattari.xyz to whitelist again or it's removal from blacklist. As I think it is not spam but a useful source for atypical niches like Sufism. I think various articles like Mustafa Raza Khan Qadri, Hurufism, Hashmi Miya can be improved with its addition. Many thanks. Dove's talk (talk) 23:27, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- My opinion is that is should stay on the blacklist given the history of spamming and the fact that it doesn't meet WP:RS. Any further discussion belongs at WP:SBL, where you've already been told the same thing. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:33, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Not at all arguing with your decision but just want to say it looks like the Sufi org website and might help the project. Especially in atypical niches like Sufism where no enough good quality sources are available. Dove's talk (talk) 23:38, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am adding the references now and correcting incorrect references on Krasinski's filmography page, but we happen to be working at this at the same time, so it is like an add-delete-add-delete undo-redo-undo-redo situation unfolding.

- You can add the references at the same time you add the content. You don't get to add the content then add the references later. There's no reason to remove references from unrelated content while you're doing that. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:44, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok no problem. Just so you know, the reason for the deleted source is because it contains incorrect information. I am adding a correct one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RichWatt (talk • contribs) 23:46, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I think you mistakenly placed an indefinite page protection on the article Robby Soave, which seems disproportionate and contrary to the conclusion at Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Archive/2021/12#Robby_Soave, in which you called for a 2-week protection. I think the initial vandalism was triggered by a TV statement, and have no idea if the article will be threatened with vandalism in the future (which could apply to any Wikipedia article at any time), but please consider returning the page to normal level. Thanks. --Animalparty! (talk) 03:12, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At the article Anantapur, you've protected it for "Persistent disruptive editing", but you've only move-protected it to autoconfirmed, which is the default protection for all pages anyways. Did you perhaps intend to edit protect it instead? Aidan9382 (talk) 06:04, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not using Wikipedia for promotion or advertising I am pointing out the facts that there is a community radio station in Scunthorpe which broadcasts 24hours a day 7 days a week, it launched in 2020 and is 2 years old it is a legal station and has on average 25000 listeners per week, it is a not for profit radio station with guidance from Ofcom on how to operate and generate an income.
Steel FM broadcast from studios on Britannia Corner, they are members of The Community Media Association, Radio Academy and Voluntary Action North Lincolnshire.
Steel FM are backed by North Lincolnshire Council, DN Colleges, UCNL, Humberside Police, give work experience to students from North Lindsey College.
So as you can see they are a service just like Viking FM and Lincs FM and so should have a mention just like them, you are been unfair to Steel FM as a community service and precedential towards them, and giving Bauer Radio all recognition and nothing for an independent.
If it's not clear within the description please feel free to re-write it so it fits your criteria but as a community station Steel FM deserve to be listed under Scunthorpe and with it's own page.
Just like you have Beverley FM on Beverley's Page, Sine FM and TMCR on Doncaster's Page, Lincoln City Radio on Lincoln's page, they are community stations just like us so why do you keep deleting Steel FM from the Scunthorpe page.

- @Fbg999: If you dont mind me leaving a comment while jamie is not here, your revisions seem to have been reverted by multiple editors for sounding like WP:PROMO (Specifically see point 5). A lot of the information presented in the paragraph is also info about the station that I'd say is generally not considered relevant towards the main article (E.g. Steel FM will also be applying for a SSDAB licence as soon as Ofcom advertise the licence in late 2022/early 2023.). As for your comment about as a community station Steel FM deserve to be listed under Scunthorpe and with it's own page, id recommend reading up on WP:NOTABILITY. I won't be commenting on whether or not its notable myself, as this is no where near my area of expertise. Aidan9382 (talk) 06:47, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ohnoitsjamie! It's good to talk to you again, and I hope you're having a great Saturday! I was checking into the edits for user 志強演員, and I saw that you had revision-deleted the revision text and edit summary of both this user's edits citing RD3. I'm very likely missing something (and, if you know me well, that's usually the case... lol), but I don't see how the edits and summaries constitute purely disruptive material. Can you tell me the reasoning behind this? I know there's suspicion of sock puppetry here, but the edits themselves don't appear to meet the threshold. Thanks in advance, and I wish you a great day! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:56, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Oshwa; edits were from an active LTA self-promoter using edit summaries to circumvent content filters. Probably would've been sufficient to revdel the summaries in this case. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:39, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Ohnoitsjamie - HA! Hey, fair enough! ;-) While I don't think the edits themselves necessarily meet the RD3 criterion for redaction, we're talking about an LTA here... In these cases, the level of "shits I give" regarding the strict compliance of the rev-del policy takes a significant plunge. ;-) Even if I wanted to or felt the need to start a discussion with you over this, in the end, it would only be a huge waste of our time. Instead of moving on to do more good work, we'd be spending time discussing an LTA's edits, meaning that we're giving the user time and attention when we shouldn't be. ;-) Anyways, thanks for getting back to me, and I hope you have a great weekend. :-) Happy editing! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:48, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

| While surfing through page histories, I noticed some hilarious edit summaries by you that parodize spammers' wording, such as "subtracted external links of spam" in response to "Added External Links Of Wiki", and "I removed spam" in response to "I add external links because of one referral link is marked unreliable". Very entertaining! Anerisys (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which caused me to accidentally tag the micronation AFTER your bold redirect. Since I haven't made this mistake before, can you help me clean this mess up? I'm fine with the redirect as long as the page creator doesn't object. BusterD (talk) 18:42, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- So I removed the AfD tag from the wrong article, withdrew my nom and talked to the page creator, who seems a good sort. (I also foolishly removed the process from the AfD log, then quickly undid myself.) I'm so used to using the scripts it's been a while since I managed this material by hand. While the process is still listed under various afd discussion categories, I think everything will drop away after the process is closed. Did I miss anything? BusterD (talk) 19:11, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the confusion; when I saw your G4 tag, I checked the history and saw that prior to the AfD it had been a redirect. The newer article was slightly different than the previously AfD'd one, but it still seemed that whatever notability that existed was intrinsically a part of the other article, so I restored the redirect. I think the withdrawn AfD nom is fine, unless someone wants to contest the redirect; then we're faced with either (1) unwithdrawing the 2nd AfD or (2) creating a third AfD. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:09, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the note and your BOLD. The page creator doesn't seem to have problem with the redirect, which gives that editor options on how to restore it when and if better sources are revealed. I feel I over-reacted in the moment and your redirect righted me a bit. Thank you for being dependable. I'm a bit on edge today because two articles to which I'm a major contributor (Vicki Iseman and John McCain lobbyist controversy) have been edited today with a just released primary source which spills a bunch of dirt on everyone EXCEPT McCain's widow. I'm seeing pop culture journals which are linking the controversy page directly. If you would watchlist these two pages, I'd appreciate the sharp eyes. I'm expecting a sh%tshow because there's sex AND petulance AND journalism AND partisan politics involved. It is entirely possible even the NYTimes will be unable to cover this, since they signed an agreement with Iseman in 2009. Today I'm seeing NY Mag and Salon as RS so far. The show will escalate when TV newsrooms think they have enough cover. I think we've done a reasonable job as wikipedians on these pages to date, but I expect some passion to work its way into these pages over the next little while.

Hello OHNO The edit you archived about the Pentagon UFO videos now has a reliable source sites as the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. The edit is being removed with weird comments about‘flying spaghetti monsters…the original reliable source was reporting from the New York Times and the edit sited a quote directly from parties involved in the Pentagon proceedings. I look forward to your restoration of the edit. Sincerely An Editor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.115.33.12 (talk) 21:28, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- There's clearly a consensus against your edits on that page. I agree with the rationals for reverting your edits (WP:FRINGE and WP:NOTNEWS); WP:UNDUE would also apply. You're free to propose changes and seek a consensus at Talk:Pentagon UFO videos. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
.—-Hello Ohno I think you missed the point of the edit.The original reliable source of the edit was a New York Times article titled “US govt finds no evidence that aerial sightings were alien spacecraft” no sarcasm about flying spaghetti creatures need apply. The NYT article addresses several times the publics concern about the reports possible ‘Other’ category dealing with possible alien intelligence by the participants who developed the study. The edit proposed seemed the most economical way to convey those thoughts expressed by a direct quote from the article. In fact the edit seemed the most rational thing to do, unless you consider the people who developed the report to be ‘fringe’.

Good morning, that persistent disruptive editing person who has been blocked many times using many different ip addresses is back. 2603.6011.DF01. His latest was the Jersey City Fire Department. Please assist. Thank you Doriden (talk) 14:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you sure that's the same user? The IPs geolocate to different states. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, not sure if related but I wanted to warn a disruptive IP user and seem you partially blocked their IPs as 2600:1017:B000:0:0:0:0:0/36, and as it seems your partial block "connects" it to other vandalising IPs, incl. a separately blocked, there is perhaps a better solution than just warnings for the specific IPs? Could you please look into it as I don't know anything about IP blocks etc. Thanks, WikiHannibal (talk) 06:11, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- A quick primer on ranges (apologies if you already know this); with IPv6 ranges, anything range specifier lower than 64 is likely to cover multiple users (the lower the number, the larger the range); 36 is as low as the software allows a range block to be applied, as that's a huge range likely to affect thousands of possible users. As to whether it's useful to warn an individual IP, it depends on how "dynamic" their IP is. If it's changing rapidly (within minutes), it's much less likely that they'll even see any warning you post. If the address assignment lasts for hours or days, then yes you should try to warn them. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:29, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, I did not know that. So basically they are probably thousands of different users and an IP used by a vandal can be used by a non-vandal the next day. I thought the range block from Linda Elriani meant they are connected somehow bcs their edits was mostly vandalism, including the same edits from different IPs (diff 1, diff), which is rare, though. No magic solution then. WikiHannibal (talk) 08:48, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Ohnoitsjamie,
I was wondering if you would consider lowering protection on this draft page to extended confirmed or even to semi-protection while retaining admin-only status to the main space page. Otherwise, I think new editors will just create pages on slightly different titles like Draft:Uncle Waffles (DJ) or some other variation. Looking at this DJ's career online, she very well could be considered notable in a few years but not now. It might make sense to allow future drafts to be written by more experienced editors. Thank you for considering this option. Liz Read! Talk! 23:25, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I see the logic in that; Done. Thanks for the good suggestion! OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jamie, you recently blocked this editor: Vaultralph (talk · contribs), giving them a final chance stating that they would be indeffed if they were to continue the same behaviour. I tried to ping you on their talk but not sure if it went through, but they did the same thing shortly after their block expired on Sámi, claiming a man was of this ethnicity citing their own original research of claiming it is common knowledge and examining his facial features, which is ridiculous. I added diffs on their talk page showing it, they were also recently reported to ANI. I think the indef is in order at this point. --TylerBurden (talk) 20:37, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple sources say woody growth is not necessary to be a tree including the tree page on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gentilcore (talk • contribs) 22:17, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is only one of 5 definitions given on the page and its not scientifically accepted.

- It's a Wordpress site, and as such, doesn't meet WP:RS and violates WP:ELNO. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- First you said it was spam, which it clearly is not. Just a strange thing to do for a website that uses a website builder. They moved there because it was free so that makes it not reliable? Wow.18abruce (talk) 15:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- It clearly does not meet WP:RS guidelines. I haven't removed any instances of it being used as a reference for now, but it certainly isn't appropriate per WP:ELNO as a standalone external link. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:48, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- You made a pretty quick change from being mistaken to having multiple policy reasons, not just taking your word for it seems rather rational. Can you please point me to a specific discussion on why anyone using Wordpress would not be a reliable source. Additionally, what specifically is violated in WP:ELNO; it has more than 10 points and you are not providing anything more than a desire that the community just takes your word for it.18abruce (talk) 16:08, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure what mistakes you are talking about. Please see WP:RSSELF and WP:UGC; the "about" portion at the bottom of the "nationalhockeyteams" page makes it clear that it falls under WP:UGC. By the same token, I would've thought it should be obvious that this falls under point 11 of WP:ELNO; Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites (negative ones included), except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people.) You're free to appeal to WP:RSN if you think a case can be made to recognize this Wordpress site as a reliable source. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:42, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict)I am certain that multiple users objecting to your removal of a source should have initiated a discussion, but you went ahead with it anyway. Since your page says that you are an administrator I hope that you have knowledge of what wikipedia is without me citing policies. You are talking about removing the basis of a significant amount of content on approximately 150 pages, take some care here and perhaps respect the people who know the content. The clear and obvious mistake was you calling the website spam, not sure how you could possibly backtrack on that.18abruce (talk) 16:52, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Feel free to take your concerns to WP:RSN. I'll abide by any new consensus established there that establishes that this personal Wordpress site meets reliable sources criteria. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:57, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Ohnoitsjamie. It was not my intention to vandalize and disrupt. I just hit the wrong button as I was going too fast, I'll try to be careful next time, I'm still getting used to using the different tools, I apologize. There are too many tools in this wikipedia (I come from the Spanish wikipedia, my English level is not a problem) and it's quite difficult to notice everything, I usually revert vandalisms too fast.

I would like to know what you and User:Lee Vilenski would suggest that I do about Draft:Amir Sarkhosh (2) and Draft:Amir Sarkhosh (billiards player). The two of you create-protected Draft:Amir Sarkhosh and Amir Sarkhosh in 2020 due to sockpuppetry. I moved a sandbox to Draft:Amir Sarkhosh (2) because the primary draft title is protected. It appears that the drafts and articles were deleted due to sockpuppetry rather than due to lack of notability. So should I review the two drafts (which appear to be identical), or should I wait until a sockpuppet investigation has been conducted into their authors also? Robert McClenon (talk) 00:56, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If I make a mistake, delete my draft article so I can work on a healthy article from this person and wait.--Liyan baboo (talk) 22:55, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- We're not interested in an article about that person; that's why the article target was salted, which I'm sure you noticed when you created a new draft with a (2) in the title.

Hi Ohnoitsjamie, if I may make a minor nitpick in case I'm not completely misunderstanding the situation, File:Dmitry Utkin.jpeg seems to have been uploaded in a genuine misunderstanding of the fair-use requirement "non-replaceable", looking at the text of the first page revision, which would – to my understanding – make it ineligible for the speedy deletion criterion F9 ("not claimed by the uploader to be fair use") and usually require a delayed deletion, as was specifically requested in the next revision. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:40, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me Jamie, my intention was not wrong. The blunder is that I didn't know much about Wikipedia guidelines. But now, for 3 days, i was continuously reading them. I found it was my mistake and I deserve to be block but for a limited time period, atleast. Trust me, life is incomplete without Wikipedia editing. Please forgive me, I promise I'll never do this type of shit again. And will try my best to make Wikipedia even more better.

Hi, greetings,
We are running an edit-a-thon to newbies without Wikipedia User name.
I have a Event Coordinator's right that i can use for creating user names for participants during edit-a-thon.
I am unable to use the right because of the IP range block coming your username.
Please onblock my IP Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 14:31, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- (1) I have no idea what range you are talking about, and (2) if you are posting on my talk page, you are not blocked (3) please don't email me for matters that can be handled on talk pages. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:33, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty funny that you checked me for "Removing sourced material" when that's literally all you did on your last edit on Breezy (album). You removed plenty of well sourced content without any valuable reason. You restored a version of the page dating back to when the album wasn't even released. Nowadays the album has been released, so your edit that is putting back the text "Breezy is the upcoming tenth studio album by American singer Chris Brown" is not that welcomed..... Especially when you put back a version of the page where Bruno Mars is listed as a featured artist on it, when he's literally nowhere to be found on the album. The way you left the link to the song "Call Me Every Day" as "[[[Call Me Every Day]]" shows me how much you care about the page. Please, stop ruining that page with this behavior. You're not helping that page being any better with these super-messy removals.
And by the way, I removed "Iffy" on the list of the album's official singles because it's a buzz single, scilicet a song that appears only as a bonus track on the album, that consequentially can't be the lead release off of it. Have a nice day--Big slime 2000 (talk) 14:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Several reliable sources describe it as a single from Breezy, period. I'd suggest you not continue to remove sourced material. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:58, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah but those sources date back to when the album wasn't released, plans for it have changed since then--Big slime 2000 (talk) 15:03, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have a source that says it's not a single? OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I was looking for one when all my edits started being deleted by another user because (according to him) if someone points out that the album is out is block evading.--Big slime 2000 (talk) 15:37, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive new editor
Hello,hope you are well, this new editor [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bishopdoesit]] has already been warned few weeks ago ,but they continue to remove sourced material and ignore warnings, can you please do something about it, the amount of removed text in article is already getting problematic, like this example [[12]].

- It helps us identify and track spamming campaigns. Note the link on User_talk:Philippines_trade_data's talk page; the first two links (en and (https) show a summary of all pages where http and https links to that domain currently exist on Wikipedia. If previous users/IPs have a tracking tag (I put mine in the heading, but many people include it in the body of the warning), we'll see cases where other users have been warned about spamming that link. In this case of the aforementioned user, I was able to see a pattern of long-term spamming, leading me to blacklisting that site. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:16, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Just an update. I've been receiving emails for the past year or so on the subject of the Dredg rangeblock, in my capacity of a crat, an individual arbcom member and others. Since the forum shopping is still ongoing, and we're only a few months away from the end of the block term, I believe that the vandalism is likely to return after the period ends, therefore the block is still appropriate and have extended it back up to 2 years. Hope that's ok with you! WormTT(talk) 07:44, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Admin, This user User:Vikas Sharma223 and User:William6027 both are continuously making disruptive edits. Even after your warning, I saw them creating pages like Kashika and Mallika (These are not languages, these are their self analysis) I think both are same user. They are also violating rules like multiple account abuse. Please stop them from making these edits or put protection on these pages which they are continuously making disruptive edits. Thank you. Jilataap (talk) 14:38, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not simple vandalism. They are providing sources, but from my casual reading of those sources, most seem to suggest that Kashika and Mallika are dialects; in most cases, information about dialects should be covered in the main article about the language, though there are exceptions to that (e.g., Flemish). We should try to get additional input from other editors knowledgeable in this topic. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:56, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I hope you are well and good.
Actually this user User:Jilataap redirecting the Articles Page name are Kashika Language and Mallika language and also Changing the Languages of Many Articles like Gorakhpur,Varanasi,Kushinagar etc. Please stop him from Redirecting the referece attached Sourced pages and Unwanted Changes.And also Please fix the Both language Pages which I mentioned.
Thank you. User: William6027 (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2022 (UTC) Vikas Sharma223 (talk) 15:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- IMO, those both should be redirects, as the source you are adding suggest that those are dialects, not full-fledged languages. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- As i told you this editor is abusing multiple accounts, which violates the rules like WP:SOCK, Please take action on him, He himself is saying that he edited these two pages, I saw these pages are created by these two different accounts. Jilataap (talk) 15:29, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- File an WP:SPI. It's not clear cut sockpuppettry; it's plausible that there are multiple editors interested in advocating the language status of those dialects.OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:31, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Kashika Language and Mallika language both are so different from Bhojpuri they have their own identity.
Please don't merge these two language with Bhojpuri.They also have many sources and evidences and they don't have any relation with Bhojpuri. William6027 (talk) 15:32, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources you have added either say that they are dialects or are closely related to Bhojpuri. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:35, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Wiki don't work on your personal analysis, Kashika and Mallika are dialects of bhojpur, Kashika dialect is spoken in Varanasi, you can check the language of Varanasi in government website: Varanasi.nic.in it is clearly written that language of Varanasi (Kashi) is bhojpuri not Kashika, Kashika is the dialect of bhojpuri language, I am from thr bhojpuri speaking are, I can see your IP address you're from begusarai that is thethi speaking area, please work on your language. Jilataap (talk) 15:41, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Track listings on Wikipedia do not have references sourced. Typically reserved for samples, album reissues, or the personnel section, to give additional clarification or context. Take a look pages for popular R&B/Hip Hop albums like Blue Water Road, Honestly Nevermind, Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, DS4Ever, none of them have references. Classic albums like Sign o' the Times, OK computer, Rubber Soul, also do not have unless as mentioned for one of the 3 scenarios prior.
Credits are available publicly on Spotify, right click on a song then click credits. or check the official youtube topic page of the artist it will show in the infobox below.
- That's all very exciting, but we require reliable sources without exception for credits. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:15, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- No, it is most definitely not vandalism. Please see WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:EL. External links should be kept at a mininum, and are not to be used inline. Rather than linking to an archive in the External links section, it's more appropriate to use a book template with an ISBN link, as I've done. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:47, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The facts keep being removed from the Dan Gallagher bio. He created a local band in Toronto and this fact was added to his bio. It keeps being removed, along with the reference, as an opinion. It is not an opinion when the reference stated the fact that he solely began the band before he died. Also, it is NOT an opinion when the band stated that Gallagher was a huge supporter of Canadian music talent. Kenh37 (talk) 19:53, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rapidly-changing IP addresses? It's not even my fault, I'm bus-travelling. You can't blame me for that. And they started it all. I even told them not to start an edit war because it wasn't worth it.

APOBEC3G mRNA is expressed in certain cells, referred to as non-permissive cells, in which HIV-1 (HIV-1 is the most common type of Human Immunodeficiency Virus) cannot properly infect and replicate in the absence of Viral infectivity factor (Vif), which is an accessory protein found in HIV and other lentiviruses. Its role is to disrupt the antiviral activity of the human enzyme APOBEC (specifically APOBEC3G, "A3G" in short) by targeting it for ubiquitination and cellular degradation. The encapsidation of APOBEC3G into HIV-1 virions is very important for the spread of APOBEC3G and the exertion of anti-retroviral activity.<ref>https://flipper.diff.org/app/items/info/3622</ref
