Usernames that never reply to the "username concern" query

I just let them go; sometimes, I suspect, they just go and start new accounts with acceptable usernames. If they resume and people still have issues with that name, the warning is still on the page and the conversation can be resumed. Daniel Case (talk) 00:07, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough. To keep Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues clean, I've been encouraged to removed the category from the template after a week or so. Should I leave a note at usertalk saying so, or just remove it and that's it? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:10, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

I think the latter. A lot of these accounts rarely edit again; when they do, someone with username concerns will usually look at the talk page first anyway. Daniel Case (talk) 00:22, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

I will follow your advice. Thank you, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:25, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Removed image

Hi Anna, I just pulled the image that you added to the Prickly Pear Island article a few months ago because it represents a different island off of the island of Anguilla, not the one off of Antigua that's the article's subject. I left a mention on the article's talk page. thanks 70.48.217.87 (talk) 23:56, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. :) I would never have guessed that the name "Prickly Pear island" is so common. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:19, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Uroševac/Ferizaji

Hello AF.

You asked an interesting question here[1]. However your reply of there only being 26 Serbs from IJA doesn't answer why there is no match (eg. if that were a valid reason, the page should have been at that target and then questions on how it is in English sources would come to light and the bulk of coverage comes from 1999 when the name found itself on people's lips and then it was being reported as Uroševac). Further to that, the issue at hand is not that there is no match, but the article currently stands protected in a vandalized state because it doesn't contain ONE cache reference to its article title, all mentions of Uroševac have been removed without consensus here[2]. Also, if you care to examine the same edit, you will see that word "Ferizaj" plastered down the entire foreign languages section and this is turn is landing on duff targets - if that is constructive please explain what isn't. This revision is not only a better overall presentation but the languages are all correct, where the article is called Ferizaj it is left as such and in languages where it is called Uroševac that is how it is given. In Turkish it is Ferizovik and as for Serbian, Russian and others, not only is Ferizaj wrong but the articles are written in Cyrillic and so displaying Ferizaj is plain wrong in every way. I must insist that you do the right thing and DISCARD that I have abused multiple accounts and assert your authority there, because your friends J delanoy, Mark Arsten and Bobrayner's remaining Guard of Honour are protecting this racket. Bobrayner may be on good terms with you but he has been issued three ARBMAC warnings in 2013. You are the FIRST non-involved editor (let alone admin) to broach this subject which has dragged on too long. So. Will you act? Or will the likes of IJA remain free to spread pro-Kosovar Albanian propaganda. 94.197.118.80 (talk) 11:50, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Click on the Bulgarian link, here is where it takes you. Where it should go is here (Феризово). That is Ferizovo in Roman lettering. 94.197.118.80 (talk) 11:57, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Another day, another Evlekis-sock. Sorry you're getting dragged into this mess too, Anna :-) bobrayner (talk) 20:48, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi bob. Hi sock.

I'm neutral. My allegiance is to Wikipedia, not Wikipedians.

I personally don't care which name is used. I care about visitor experience. Right now the title and only name used within the article don't match. There's no explanation for visitors and they must be confused.

I've replied at Talk:Uroševac#Uroševac or Ferizaji

Good call

on User:OrlandoBoynton. I was fooled because unlike all the other ones of these I've seen, an article was posted. This might be a new move by the opposition... Peridon (talk) 11:39, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Is it certainly a spambot? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:29, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

The user page friendly intro with hidden link says spambot, but that Pornhubtest page makes me wonder. I also wonder if some of the 'spambots' are actually cloud workers. You know, the ones paid 5p or so per task. There's an understanding of WP in that they hide the links, but absolutely no understanding in the way they stick to a script, and don't seem to realise that a user page belonging to 'Joe Bloggs' is not going to be visited by anyone at all. Except for the patrollers, who don't seem to be understood, either... I'm not sure how spambots work, but they must be able to read the captcha thing. I've just created an alternative account, and the captcha was the easiest I've ever seen. Peridon (talk) 10:46, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Demographia yet again

Hi,

The conversation on the RS noticeboard seems to have been archived. Given that the discussion seems to have been mainly in favour of removal, would it be safe to start removing the links from the article? What would you suggest we do while doing the relevant removals?

Regards, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 23:20, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I think it is safe to remove the figures and accompanying references.

I think we should just give a link to the archived discussion in the edit summary like:

Remove figures and reference per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 161#demographia.com

Is that what you mean? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:28, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

• Yes, that is what I meant. I'll be on the task right now TheOriginalSoni (talk) 01:13, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Entry removal

Yes you sure researched right. Indeed it is only one because hard rind, aged, cheese was not produced in Serbia before. This one is first farmstead artisanal one in Serbia. We are currently in procedure of protecting origin of our product. Maybe if you would wait couple of hunderd years Kozjak become will be the name of widespread type of chease in Serbia, until then it is something new in this area which sure should be mentioned, not just as pionirig effort but as brand that has its audience in Serbia and the World. If you would delete my entry, I wonder how French ambassador whom brought our cheese with him self in his country to show it, would explain this to his wikipedia reading friends. In the end, why have you deleted my post, and didnt Pule cheese, one line below, which is also produced by one farm in Serbia, and is not native. Thank you for your effort, and hopefully understanding :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palexic (talk • contribs) 11:57, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, my friend. Please don't be upset. I removed your entry because List of cheeses should really be about notable cheeses. That means cheeses that can be googled and possibly have their own article. Your cheese is not so much a kind of cheese as it is a family brand. Also, adding the link to your website seemed promotional.

If you can show that this cheese is produced in places outside your company, please provide the links. Or, if your cheese is so notable that it passes WP:42, then certainly it should not only be in the List of cheeses article, but may merit its own, standalone article.

By the way, I think you making goat cheese is a great thing. People who make good, artisanal food, deserve the highest respect.

Oh, and I'm not trying to be mean, just doing my best to help Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your understanding. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:12, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
