Invitation to discussion about Per-user page blocking

Hi there,

The Anti-Harassment Tools team is seeking input about building User Page (or category) blocking feature.

We’re inviting you to join the discussion because you voted or commented in the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey about Enhanced per-user / per-article protection / blocking.

You can leave comments on this discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.

Block message:

Editing from Nyttend backup has been blocked (disabled) by Nyttend for the following reason(s): no reason given. This block has been set to expire: no expiry set.


Accept reason: Resolved, see below. Huon (talk) 22:17, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to see the message that happens when you get autoblocked, so I blocked my alternate account, logged out of my main account, logged into the alt, and then logged out again. Having gotten the notice, I then logged back into my main account β€” and found that I was still autoblocked! And because I'm blocked, I can't unblock other users, so I can't remove this block. My IP address here is 75.75.127.168, although I'm about to leave (it's at a restaurant), so the correct action is unblocking User:Nyttend backup. Nyttend (talk) 22:04, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alt account unblocked. Did that work, or do I need to hunt for an autoblock? --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:09, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it worked. Thanks! Since when can administrators be autoblocked? I thought IP-block-exempt was part of the admin package? Nyttend (talk) 22:10, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know, not a techie. And wait; I think you can unblock other users even when you're blocked yourself. Has that changed? --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:11, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's changed. It all depends on your ability to edit a page β€” if you can edit it, you can move it, protect it, unblock its underlying account, etc., but if you can't edit it, you can't do any of those things. The only things you can do while blocked, aside from editing your own talk page (and presumably protecting it) and unblocking yourself, are doing RevDel and modifying user rights. When you came along, I'd just given myself IP-block-exempt, with which I was going to unblock the alt and end this silly situationΒ :-) Nyttend (talk) 22:14, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's a difference between an autoblock and the "prevent registered editors from editing from this IP address" feature that IP block exemption deals with. IPBE to my knowledge indeed is part of the admin rights. Huon (talk) 22:17, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is part of admin rights, at Special:ListGroupRights it's described as "Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt)". Peter James (talk) 20:56, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thornton tombstone

Apologies for the late response - I'm still on the road. Be home tomorrow.

I used the photographs on this site as a guide. Briefly:


Once you get to Oak Hill Forest Road, and start going down it, you'll see a road off to the right with a couple of structures on it. This is one. The path into the woods will be perpendicular to the drive you see by the structure. Take that path - this page says a quarter mile, which sounds a decent estimate. I would follow it until about twenty paces beyond the treeline and then start tacking inward a bit. Have a look at this image, which I took from the stone back the way I came. See that gnarly looking dead tree in the background? That should be visible from the cleared path - if you walk just past it, keeping it on your right, you should come upon the graveyard before too much longer. The obelisk was behind a tree when I came upon it - I nearly missed it. If memory serves (and it's been a few months, so I'm sorry I'm rusty), these coordinates are more accurate than the ones in the article. (I didn't change the article because I'm not convinced mine are right, either.)

The xroads images are very useful; I was able to walk myself through most of the search using them. I also have a couple of other images at home that might be of use - are you going to try again this weekend? If not, I can get them to you when I get home tomorrow night. They don't show much, but they can show you approximately how far from the structures you need to be before you start looking.

You can always ask a ranger, also - I didn't, and I'm a bit sorry I didn't, as it was hunting season and I kept hearing guns discharging in the distance. I figured it might have been better to let someone else know I was there.Β :-)

That help? Sorry if not - it's been a few months. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa.

Hi

Looks like the nominator is planning to withdraw the Tyrique Jarrett Afd. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 00:50, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Nyttend, WikiOriginal provided proof that Jarrett played in one game. I just read WP:WDAFD, so can you officially withdraw it and do a speedy keep on my behalf, and remove the template from the article? 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:E8B0:35F4:5401:1C0D (talk) 00:55, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the nominator, so I shouldn't do it. One keep plus a withdrawal from the person originally responsible for the nomination means that it will be speedy kept by the first uninvolved admin who comes along. Nyttend (talk) 03:08, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just to explain my revert. Rockhampton is a urban area (town) but Rockhampton City is the central suburb of that urban area (a much smaller area, and very precisely defined by a set of boundaries), so they are not the same thing. And, just to be confusing, Rockhampton City is different to City of Rockhampton (which is a former local government area, now replaced by Rockhampton Region). Alas we don't have an article on Wikipedia for Rockhampton City so it redirects back onto Rockhampton, which is one of those "best places to point it for the moment" kind of redirects. Rockhampton is not the only place that uses this nomenclature, we have the same situation with Brisbane, Brisbane City and City of Brisbane all being quite distinct things, but it's quite confusing for non-locals (and for a lot of locals as well). I'll go and create Rockhampton City to make it a little less confusing. Kerry (talk) 02:12, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, Rockhampton City (now a stub instead of a redlink, I'll expand it later) is just a suburb. It has no power to make local laws any more than the suburb of Norman Gardens does. Like all suburbs and localities (Australia), it has precise boundaries. The laws are made by the local government Rockhampton Region. The town of Rockhampton consists of a bunch of suburbs, including Rockhampton City and Norman Gardens. The town has no power to make laws either. You get the same naming confusion with Brisbane (town), Brisbane City (the central suburb), City of Brisbane (the local government area), ditto confusion around Townsville (town), Townsville City (central suburb) and City of Townsville (local government area). Kerry (talk) 02:46, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We have neighbourhoods tooΒ :-) They are not bounded and (where officially recognised) designated with a centrepoint only (like towns). Many of our neighbourhoods are former suburbs/towns. Most of these neighbourhoods don't have Wikipedia articles though, but a few do. Personally I think the "City" in the central suburb names was a dumb choice, it just creates confusion. I prefer what they did in Gladstone where the central suburb is called Gladstone Central. I think that's a less confusing and more self-describing name. I wish that approach had been adopted more widely within Queensland. Kerry (talk) 05:38, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New editing tools

Hi Nyttend, not sure if you can help. If using the new page editing tools, do you know how to sort items in a list? - on the old editing format there was a designated sort function, but this is now grayed and I can't access it.

RfC de-list

Re: [1][2][3]

First, the first revert is a widely-accepted and routine way to challenge any edit, per WP:BRD, and is hardly disruption worthy of an aggressive and combative "block request" threat. I'm astonished that someone with your experienceβ€”an admin, no less!β€”needs this explained to them. With that out of the way ... Bot de-listing is not a close, and it ends nothing except listing the RfC. The RfC can remain open as long as people feel it needs to, whether it's listed or not. If you already understand that and your opinion is that it needs to remain listed longer than 30 days (which would be extremely unusual), then state it that way and don't call de-listing a "close" and then an "end". Also explain why that needs to be decided 17 days before it would normally be de-listed. We have no idea what the level of participation will be by then. ―Mandruss ☎ 00:22, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reconsideration for Siftery

The page for Siftery was abruptly deleted even though it was not established that the page was "unambiguously promotional". A large number of independent publications made notable mentions or coverage of the company. There may have been recommendations for improvement; outright deletion was abrupt and not warranted on the merits. β€”Β Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnleecg (talk β€’ contribs) 00:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Alumni Lists and Profile Pictures on University Articles

Hello Nyttend,

I wanted to raise to your attention that I have reverted the deletion of the partial alumni list and profile pictures at the University of Kansas article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Kansas&oldid=810633485). The reason I have done this is that there was not consensus to remove that all of that information even at the Helpdesk thread. The purpose of this section per the WP:UNIGUIDE guidance was to "give a sense of the extent to which persons with well-known deeds or highly significant accomplishments are or have been associated with the school (as by attendance there or by being on staff or faculty). For most schools this might take the form of a list of people meeting Wikipedia's notability standards (each with perhaps a very brief descriptive phrase), where such a list would not be excessively long. For very old, very large, or very prestigious schools it may be more appropriate to use categories ("Alumni of", "Faculty of", etc.) instead, limiting the explicit list to very well-known persons (heads of state, historical figures, etc.) and adding a narrative summary of statistics on such things as Nobel Prizes, other prestigious awards, and so on."

Based on that guidance it is my position that alumni lists are helpful for readers to give a sense of the extent of well known/significant accomplished persons are related to the institution whether that be alumni, faculty or others. Some articles just have an Alumni list, some have a broader People of xyz university list. The guidance does not have specific information relating to galleries in the section or for separate list pages. I think there should at least be some discussion before editors remove information on highly notable articles such as Harvard University. As you pointed out the WP:MOSIMAGE states "images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative. They are often an important illustrative aid to understanding." I think the important question is whether alumni images are illustrative to aid in understanding in the culture/notability/significance/importance/idk of specific universities such as Harvard University. I recognize that you do not agree with this and I can see your reasoning for desiring to remove the images. I wanted to clarify if you were also advocating removal of the wikilinks for alumni lists section on the main university pages? Randomeditor1000 (talk) 14:16, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I said before, it's undue weight to a significant extent. If someone had a significant influence on the university itself, mention him in the history; if not, he has no business being mentioned. Lists are different; since they exist, they ought to be linked in a place where they fit the context, or placed in See also if they don't fit anywhere else. Nyttend (talk) 23:27, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:UNIGUIDE doesn't say anything about photos are mandatory for the notable section. Many school and city articles summarize the most notables in a paragraph of text, of which, the University of Kansas article didn't do, though I wouldn't delete it if it existed. College articles are about the college and founders/employees who made significant long term impact on the college, of which temporary students who attended for a few short years don't. β€’ Sbmeirow β€’ Talk β€’ 23:32, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sbmeirow, thanks for chiming in, I would say that WP:UNIGUIDE also doesn't say that the scope of the articles is mandatory that they are "about the college and founders/employees". In fact, a majority of them have information about students as well and other topics that are tangentially related to the institutions. Part of the reasoning that I believe the alumni section was originally included was out of WP:boosterism/WP:puffery but that was balanced out in that it was encyclopedic to include list/reference etc prominent alumni as again that helped the reader understand more about the institution. Many uni leads include information about the number previous Rhodes Scholars, Marshall Scholars, inventions, inventors etc that are related to universities but not specifically about the founders or significant influence on the institution itself. These may have not "had a significant influence" on the university itself. I don't think that test is relevant specifically to university articles. Again, I recognize your points. I'm thinking there will eventually be discussion at the project page for this so I will leave it at that. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 13:38, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Swish

I'll dispute your speedy deletion of Swish (payment). Swish is widely used here in Sweden and there are plenty of potential sources.[4] From what I remember and what I can see in the Google-cached version, it does not look particularly promotional. The article should at least have been given a chance at AFD. --Hegvald (talk) 05:43, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nyttend. I felt the tone of your revert of my WP:G4 nomination of Draft:Jeffrey Guterman did not assume good faith. As a non-admin, I don't get to see the deleted article, and can only make an assumption that the subject of the new article is the same as the deleted one and the content substantially similar based on what I can access. From the deletion discussion it appeared the deleted article was about an academic. The new article, which I was reviewing as part of AfC is about a publisher of a book on mental health, which could be an academic work. I don't think it was unreasonable of me to think the two articles were about the same person. Your edit summary "Completely unrelated. Don't abuse the criterion" felt like a harsh accusation. What do you believe I should have done differently? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:09, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you have no direct evidence of a repost (whether you've seen the deleted content somehow; or you've asked someone; or there's evidence of copy/pasting like citation remnants in the form of [3] or [75], or obviously backdated cleanup tags), do not tag for G4. You presented no evidence whatsoever for this clearly wrong tagging; if you engage in such recklessness, tagging in not-good-faith, expect to be received thus. Nyttend (talk) 13:05, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Using G4 is pointless because only admins can see the deleted content. Not worth the risk of sanctions. Anything that should be deleted as being deleted before likely qualifies for deletion again on the reason it was previously deleted. Legacypac (talk) 18:48, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I am a bit confused about this actually. Suppose I suspect Kartikeya Sharma or All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar to be G4 candidates, what should I do? Further, given that admins have the last word in CSD (ie they can choose to delete or not), does it not make sense for a non-admin to use G4 as a way of saying "please check if this is a repost or no"? Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 10:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You can go to an admin and ask whether it's a G4 candidate, or you can go to a Wikipedia mirror (e.g. archive.org or deletionpedia.org) and see the deleted article. Also, please remember that page content can be relevant β€” if a page has had significant content edits from multiple people, there's no way that it could be a repost, and the same is true of a page that contains information postdating the deletion date. The AIIMS article isn't a repost; you can't tell this from glancing at it, but the 6 October construction date would be conclusive if the article had been deleted a few days earlier. Nyttend (talk) 12:55, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on πŸ™πŸΌ, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Edit war report

I'm not going to make a song and dance about it but in future if you believe I'm edit warring or have broken another policy atleast have the decency to leave a warning or a note to tell me you've dragged my backside to 3RRNO or where ever! - Not doing so is very devious and considering you were on for roughly an hour after the report you would've had time to notify me or atleast warn me!. –Davey2010Talk 10:19, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe I'll just come and find my own computer, rather than the borrowed one, and I'll log into this account and protect the article, which as policy demands is done without regard to whether I like the current version or the one most recently reverted from; maybe this will prevent petty complaints. I didn't warn anyone because I believed that nobody had broken 3RR (if anyone did, I've forgotten), and since I often see "help, RFPP is backlogged" notices but don't often see comparable things for AN3, I figured it would get a quicker response. This will be my only response, unless you give me a good-faith question, or unless you leave several more responses of this sort and prompt me to request sanctions. Nyttend (talk) 12:04, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sanctions?

I do not disagree with your edit, but threatening sanctions for a G5 seems a little harsh, especially against an editor who (by rough count) is more than 90% accurate with CSD tagging. Primefac (talk) 15:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AGF goes a long way

I just wanted to make mention of something that really seemed unnecessary, particularly this edit. I feel the need to defend myself as sanctions have been threatened with no reason to warrant them. I think most people, even those on WP who don't necessarily agree with me would say that I don't generally tag CSDs willy-nilly and certainly not G5. At the time I tagged that, the editor was blocked by a CU and had made the only significant contribution to the article. Meatgains did a lot of minor edits (and i'm not discounting them) but i'd hardly call that significant in the context of a G5 and socking. I'm sure I've erroneously tagged a small handful (less than 5, if I had to guess) of G5s in the last year but threatening sanctions, especially when my tag was in good faith and there has been no discussion and calling another editor clueless is a bit over the top.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ashika Bhatia

Hello Nyttend,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ashika Bhatia for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

MarkDask 20:11, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
