Editing of Lee Rowley page

Hi again Oshwah,

Hope you are well. Thank you for your response a few weeks ago on this one. You rightly said to keep an eye on the page and see what happened. The user I had flagged up had not touched the page for a few months and you rightly said it was not one to do anything about for now. Since then, an unregistered user made the same edits twice, before the text was returned. The user BingBong2001 then re-appeared (logged in this time!) and made the same deletions, which another user Template:EdwardX then corrected back. I fear that even if you block that user he will just register with a new account and make the same edits, so not sure what the answer is.

More on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Oshwah/TalkPageArchives/2020-12#Editing_of_Lee_Rowley_page

Thanks, Impsfan (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Impsfan! Thanks for keeping me updated on the article. I just left BingBong2001 a warning for edit warring on the Lee Rowley article. If this user continues to cause disruption on that article, please let me know and I'll be happy to step in and take things from there. Keep me updated! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:02, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Oswah,

Worth reflecting on Impsfan’s persistent failure to engage in tak discussions on edits of this page which myself and numerous other users - see KindTennisFan - who consider them in breach of neutral point of view, unreliable sources and contain excessive detail already moved and cited elsewhere. We have all tried to talk to Impsfan but are ignored and you will see Impsfan has been dogged by these issues in their editing obsession with right leaning politicians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BingBong2001 (talk • contribs) 18:15, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah,

Thanks for your reply and sending the other message to the other user. He has done the same edits to the page again. I have not reverted the vandalism as I don't want to engage with edit warring, so please can you step in. In terms of the comments above from BingBong2001, he has never engaged with my edits on the relevant talk pages, but simply deletes properly sourced material the he does not like wholesale. The other user he refers to has raised no issues with my recent edits and when he raised concerns about the way I had structured some edits a couple of years ago, I thanked him and changed approach accordingly.

Thanks,

Impsfan (talk) 11:08, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Impsfan, BingBong2001 - It looks like you both have some engaging to do on the article's talk page. Impsfan, BingBong2001 states above that they tried to reach out to you to discuss the matter. If this is true, please engage with the user on the talk page and try and work things out. BingBong2001, I would not continue to edit or revert changes on the article until a consensus is reached. There seems to be an ongoing edit war going on, and you can be blocked from editing if this continues. You've already been warned once; please follow Wikipedia's dispute resolution protocol and come to a consensus on the content-related issue involved. If anyone need any further assistance from me, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to help! :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Diplomat needed

Hi Osh, could you look at User talk:BilCat#USS Arizona SSN 803 - Sponsor Removal, and perhaps post a much-more diplomatic response on the user's talk page? This is an issue I want treated with tact, which isn't my strong suit. Thanks, as always. BilCat (talk) 23:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi BilCat! I added a response to your user talk page here reiterating what you've already told the user, and followed up with some questions. It's obviously clear that this is a single-purpose account due to the username that this user has chosen. If you need anything else, please let me know and I'll be happy to help! :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:32, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Asking you to extend confirm article (indefinitely)

This article, World language, is persistently being subject to vandalism. Even after it was semi protected, it was vandalised by sock-puppets. Can you extend-confirm lock this article, indefinitely? Dajo767 (talk) 00:00, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dajo767! What users were engaging in vandalism on the article. I only see that two different IP users were making edits to it today (that were new users, of course). Previous edits were made back in January. I don't see a need to throw extended confirmed protection onto the article - especially indefinitely. Is there anything I'm missing or not seeing? Let me know. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:32, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Oshwah . Today, 02:40, 4 February 2021‎, an user named RajSfg, vandalised this article. He pulled up information from the deleted sections of this article. He obviously has copied this information from the older versions of the article by accessing the history. It was specifically detailed why the section was deleted in the talk page of the World Language article. The vandal ignored this. Also on 15:08, 25 January 2021‎ 182.93.24.178 , an IP address user vandalised it. He changed information concerning the position of the Spanish - again this position was discussed in lenght in the talk section. It was utterly ignored and without any reason - chanegd by an unknown IP address. This article was repeatedly vandalised and an extended confirm WP:ECP protection was once given to it, on 20:47, 26 August 2020, by a wikipedia administrator. But it was not indefinite and the as soon as it expired the vandals returned. Also this article was semi protected WP:SEMI earlier, but WP:ECP replaced it. And when WP:ECP expired, the article became totally unprotected - without any lock. Also please note that this article was extended confirmed protected because, despite being semi protected, vandalism persisted. So I please request this article be indefinitely be extended confirm protected. Dajo767 (talk) 06:13, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dajo767! I apologize for the delay responding to your message above. I went ahead and placed pending changes protection onto the article for three months due to the ongoing disruption by IP users that you discussed above. The other edits I'm seeing from the recent history appear content-related and don't appear to be vandalism. Let's keep an eye on things for now, and if disruption or vandalism continues, please let me know. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, so much.

		The Checkuser's Barnstar
		Thank you for handling the whole Valkyried situation like a Wikipedia founder. Also thanks for unblocking me ;) Tucker Gladden 👑 00:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi TuckerGladden! Please accept my sincere apologies for the mix-up. That was not okay on my part, and I'm sorry that you got blocked as a result. Thank you for taking the time to leave me this barnstar. It means a lot to me and I appreciate it very much. If there's anything that I can do to assist you, or if you run into any questions, please don't hesitate to message me and let me know. I'll be more than happy to lend a hand. Thanks again for the barnstar, and I really appreciate your understanding. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:16, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Userpage vandalism

Hi Oshwah, you recently blocked Special:Contributions/Doubledoppler for 48 hours for edit warring. After the block expired, the user vandalized another user's userpage. This may be retaliatory, but I'm not sure how to check their interactions. This is not good behavior for someone coming off of a block, even if for a different offense. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 05:22, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi BilCat! Thank you for making me aware of this. I just reached out to the user and asked why they made that edit. This obviously does not appear to be in good faith, and I want to know what's going on... Keep me posted, and definitely let me know if any more issues continue. I'll be happy to step in and put a stop to any more disruption if it occurs. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I'd just posted this below then noticed this section so am re-situating it:

The answer to your question here (since blanked) is presumably the grudge User:Doubledoppler bears for my involvement in an ANI and SPIs regarding their previous sock activities. I've filed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Politialguru. You blocked their most recent sock btw. Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

There's a definite grudge of some kind against Mutt, as she just removed Mutt's post here, and from the page of the admin who'd most recently blocked her for 48 hours no less! I've issued a fourth-level warning. BilCat (talk) 02:43, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

For the record, and to my complete and utter surprise, the user was indef blocked as a sockpuppet per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Politialguru. :) BilCat (talk) 07:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Mutt Lunker and BilCat! Thanks for responding and for keeping me updated on this. It looks like the SPI was taken care of and the users blocked. If this is not true, let me know and I'll be happy to take a closer look. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Oversight

Hey Oshwah. I've sent four emails (about four different subjects) to Special:Emailuser/oversight since Jan 31, and not received a reply to any (yes I checked my spam folder). Nothing is super urgent (in fact one was already dealt with), but can you check that the emails were received at all? No need to respond, just want to make sure nothing disappeared into /dev/null. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 06:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Suffusion of Yellow! Long time no chat! I hope you're doing well! :-) Can you email me what you need suppressed? I'll be happy to take a look. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:58, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The last two emails (both very recent) I sent to Oversight have also not been acknowledged. In one case the page was deleted through normal deletion and may have been suppressed, I have no way of knowing. In the other case, I gave up checking on it after 2-3 days on the assumption that the decision was made NOT to oversight the material. If you like (ping-reply to ask), I can re-check and forward you the email if the revision is still visible. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:37, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) 1-2 days ago I also tried to send an email to oversight by special:emailuser and it wasn't acknowledged, but when I sent it directly through gmail it was responded to quickly. At that time I was pretty sure it was a mistake on my side. Pahunkat (talk) 15:44, 4 February 2021 (UTC) Update My two "missing" reports have been processed. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Update: It looks like Barkeep49 found the emails (mine at least). Not sure what the problem was. For a moment, I was worried that someone had guessed the password to User:Oversight and changed the email, but that was not what happened. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, issue with the OTRS interface. I'll be sitting on the account and hopefully catch anything that comes in while we get everything sorted. Primefac (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Suffusion of Yellow, davidwr, Pahunkat - Thanks for responding to this discussion and for updating me on what's going on. I'm sorry that your oversight request emails appeared to get lost into the void. :-) It looks like OTRS had an issue and that it's since been resolved. If you still have outstanding and unanswered oversight requests, please try re-sending the request via email. If nothing comes of it, I'm always available to help - just email me. :-) Suffusion of Yellow, since this issue appears resolved, I didn't respond to your email. If you still need help or have questions regarding what you sent me, let me know. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi Oshwah! I'm Bakir123. You know, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bakir123, haha. Look, the Oleola guy is yet again posting some sort of evidence. I really don't know what his problem is. I have just been, I presume, confirmed as unlikely being Kirbapara by you and the other checkuser, Mz7, and yet Oleola is still trying to achieve something. I respect him for his edits, but I mean come on, two devices!? That is complete balony, sorry for the language. I even had talks with Kirba on his talk page for God's sake! Can you please just end this, I, and I belive Kirba too, just want to edit in peace. I'm done with this sockpupetry thing. I messaged Mz7 with this simmilar edit on his talk page, asking him as well, just so you know! Bakir123 (talk) 22:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Bakir123! I apologize for the delay responding to your message here. Life kept me busy and away from Wikipedia for a bit. :-) Don't worry about any evidence or information that's posted on that SPI report. If you're genuinely not a sock puppet of the other user, it will be found this way (and this is what I found with the checkuser evidence). I'm happy to hear that you don't have a grudge against Oleola, and that you respect their input and thoughts despite the fact that they believe that you are a sock puppet. The sockpuppet investigations process requires sufficient evidence in order to assert that more than one account is being controlled by the same person, and Wikipedia (by spirit) assumes innocence before guilt in situations where the evidence isn't conclusive or strong. It looks like the SPI report has closed, so you can move on without worry. If you have any questions or further issues or concerns, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:15, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Same edits after returning from your block

Hi Oshwah, 174.88.29.11 (talk · contribs). Cheers, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Bob! It's great to talk to you! I apologize for the delay responding to your message here. Life kept me busy and away from Wikipedia for awhile, and I'm just now catching up with all of the messages, emails, requests, and other pings that I received. :-) Does this IP user still need a look? It appears that the edits have been sparing and I wanted to ask before I look deeper. Let me know and I'll be happy to dig. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:16, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Kindly review my application for granting rollback rights

I have applied for getting the rollback rights. But the page has some backlog. Could you review my request and tellme any improvements needed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kashmorwiki (talk • contribs) 05:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kashmorwiki! It looks like you've been granted rollback on a temporary basis. Because of this, I'll tailor my advice to you that's focused on the proper use of the tool and what admins look for when you apply in order to keep rollback permanently. Make sure that your use of rollback is only to revert cases of obvious vandalism; don't use it to revert good faith edits, and definitely do not use it in a content-related dispute with other editors or to start or continue any kind of edit war. That kind of misuse of the tool will not only prevent you from being granted rollback on a permanent basis should you re-apply, but it will result in rollback being revoked from your account if an admin discovers it. Warn users when they cause vandalism, and report repeat offenders to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. I would also advise not using any automated tools outside of Twinkle for awhile; mistakes are easy to make using automated tools, and they can be made on a large scale if you're not careful. Stick to using the tool correctly and for the purpose that it serves, and I think you'll do just fine. :-) Please let me know if you have any questions about rollback, or if you need my input or advice on any situations where you're not sure if rollback is appropriate. I'll be more than happy to help you. :-) Good luck and happy editing to you! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:26, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Lee Rowley and continuous Impsfan vandalism

Please reflect carefully on contributions from Impsfan who wages a campaign breaching neutral point of view in editing politician’s pages with excessive and absurd detail, repeating sensationalist accusations without balance and often unsupported by the primary material. Impsfan’s attempts to imply I have a COI are absurd and simply the result of my actions to protect this page from his vandalism. Perhaps discuss with KindTennisFan who thanks me for my edits of this page and ensuring Impsfan’s vandalism is kept in check.

Hi BingBong2001! See the response I made to the discussion above that involves the Lee Rowley article. Looking at the recent edit history, you've been edit warring on the article (both while logged into your account, and while logged out). This is not how we resolve disputes. Please see Wikipedia's dispute resolution protocol for how we properly discuss and resolve disputes. Discuss the matter and make sure to notify or ping the other editor involved so that they're aware of the discussion and can respond. Also, please take a look at this section of Wikipedia's policy on vandalism. The edits you are describing are not vandalism. Accusing someone of vandalism when they're making content-related changes in good faith is frowned upon, and it doesn't help start a positive discussion. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any input or assistance, and I'll be more than happy to lend a hand. Please follow my advice and discuss the matter and come to a consensus; I don't want to have to impose any blocks for edit warring or disruption. :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Need some help on an article :)

Hey, Oshwah! As you may know, Canadian actor and "The Sound of Music" star Christopher Plummer has recently passed and is nominated for RD. People keep saying that the article is very much unreferenced. Can you help out with the referencing of this article? Thank you so much! Tucker Gladden 👑 21:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi TuckerGladden! Thanks for leaving me a message here regarding the Christopher Plummer article. Sorry for taking so long to respond to you; I've been busy and I'm just now catching up with all of the messages, emails, requests, and other pings that I received while I was offline. :-) It looks like the article has been cited and he article subject's death is now referenced. Is there anything additional that you need me to do in order to help? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:39, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

LizardJr8

Hello wikipolice, LizardJr8 keeps reverting Egg Helms rightful title back to 'Ed Helms'. This spelling error is something that was brought to light on the hit Netflix series Aunty Donnas Big Ol' House Of Fun, on Netflix. Egg himself states multiple times that his name is Egg Helms not Ed, he even corrected the Aunty Donna boys during the show. I dont know who gave LizardJr8 his licence but it should clearly be revoked.

Duplicate page?

Hey Oshwah, sorry to bother you, but I believe I have found two articles that pertain to the same thing.

• Afghan-Sikh Wars
• Indian campaign of Ahmad Shah Durrani

If you have the time could you read through these articles and see what you think? I do not know how to start an article deletion, so I was hoping that you could do it. Thank you for your time. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:23, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kansas Bear! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your question. No apologies are needed; I'm more than happy to lend a hand and help with anything that you need. :-) I read over the two articles that you listed here, and my answer is that... well... I'm not 100% sure, to be honest. I started a talk page discussion to ask this question for you, and I've pinged other editors who have made recent changes to one article or the other. In the case that these two articles are duplicates that are over the same exact topic, my suggestion would be to merge the content over from one article to the other instead of simply deleting one of them. This way, we retain the content in both articles (since they both appear to be useful), and we can combine them into one place. That would keep the content at its best without losing anything. Please let me know if I can help with anything else, and I'll be more than happy to do so. :-) Thanks again for the message, and I wish you a great day and happy editing!

I found a bug

Due to the HSTS preloading policy used, I can't load up sites like [1] and [2].Although the HTTPS certificate is valid for *.wikipedia's.com, a wildcard certificate is only valid for one subdomain and the main domain (e.g. *.m.wikipedia.com doesn't work for a *.wikipedia.com certificate).

SPI/ANI

Are you really going to entertain this? You need to see the ANI report and what I had said in it. This is getting out of hand. Please close both the SPI/ANI discussions before they make it worse for themselves, especially Tgeorgescu. Jerm (talk) 00:01, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

@Jerm: I was right about socking. I have e-mailed the evidence to the checkusers team. I await the formal closing of the investigation, but that is a formality. Tgeorgescu (talk) 07:39, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jerm! Thanks for leaving me a message regarding the sockpuppet investigation on Korvex. My response to the SPI wasn't made in order to "entertain" anything; I just had no checkuser evidence that I could use to compare the account to another one. This is why I responded in the manner that I did to the request for a checkuser. If I have no basis of comparison due to older accounts all being too stale (remember that checkuser data is purged three months after it is logged), I can't do anything. I was only replying with the "checkuser hat" on, and I didn't perform an in-depth behavioral analysis in order to determine if the report was actionable as an SPI administrator.

My other response was to simply give advice on outing and how we should treat and handle evidence that shouldn't be disclosed on Wikipedia publicly. I advised Tgeorgescu to email any off-wiki evidence to the checkuser team privately, which they did. I know that certain times can be trying with our patience as far as "talk vs block", and there have been a handful of times in the past where I've sat there and thought to myself, "Really? Why are we sitting here discussing this and why aren't we actually doing anything here?". Since then, I've learned the importance of discussion in these situations. It's very important to "measure twice and cut once" and take our time to talk things out first if it's needed - even if it takes days if not weeks to do. The reason we do this is because of the fact that, when action is determined to be needed or warranted, that make sure that we do it right. It becomes especially needed as an administrator, and even more needed as a checkuser.

I hope my response helped you to understand why I responded in the manner that I did, and I encourage you to come to me with any questions, input, feedback, thoughts, or other matters if you feel that I've done wrong or have any sort of input regarding my actions (or lack thereof) as an administrator and functionary. I won't hold any grudges against you, and my user talk page is completely open to you. You're welcome to message me any time that you need or want to.

Hi Oshwah! Admittedly I'm a fairly inexperienced Wikipedia user, and therefore will most likely accept any answer you may provide. I'm not sure why the article for the Yinon plan doesn't state that it's a conspiracy theory in the first paragraph, for example, the article for The Protocols of the Elders of Zion begins with: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (Протоколы сионских мудрецов) or The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion is a fabricated antisemitic text purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination. I couldn't find any pictures or evidence of the article mentioned on the Wiki page and I couldn't even find anyone named "Oded Yinon" I have no problem with conspiracy theory articles, they're fun to read. But I'm afraid that some people can read that article that has no real sources (the word "Conspiracy" even appears in the sources) and take it at face value. (I'm approaching you because you made the article "Extended confirmed protected") Thank you for your time and I hope you have a good day :) Tomer0412 (talk) 11:53, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tomer0412! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your concerns regarding the Yinon Plan article. Don't worry about being new here! We were all new to Wikipedia once, and it's okay if you're not experienced on Wikipedia yet. You'll get there! Just continue to edit, grow, gain experience, and learn. :-) To help answer your questions: I'm not an expert on this specific article subject, so I won't be able to offer any in-depth information or input. However, I will try my best. I quickly read through the article, and it states that it "refers to an article published in February 1982". The article itself isn't referring to a conspiracy theory - the "Yinon Plan" article appears to be real and was published to the Kivunim Hebrew journal, and is titled 'A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s'. Now, the publishing itself seems to have played a major role in history. The article says that it did so "in conspiracy theories according to which the article either predicted or planned major political events in the Middle East since the 1980s". So it appears that the article does refer to "conspiracy theories", which is likely what you're referring to. If you disagree or believe that any content on the article needs to be changed, or content added or removed, I highly recommend that you start a discussion on the article's talk page here. Wikipedia talk pages are a place where you can discuss the article as well as ask questions about it, suggest changes, and work with other editors in regards to the article's content. This is a great place to take your questions, and I hope that you'll start a discussion there if you feel the need to. Please let me know if you have any more questions, or if I can help you with anything else. I'll be more than happy to lend a hand any time you need it. :-) Thanks again for the message, and I wish you a great day and happy editing! :-D Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:37, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply Oshwah! :D It's not uncommon for experienced users in ANY field or place to be impatient towards inexperienced ones and I'm glad you're a patient and friendly one. In regards to "the "Yinon Plan" article appears to be real and was published in the Kivunim Hebrew journal" I couldn't find it anywhere! Has anyone ever seen this article? has a picture of it? a scan of it? is it in some archive? Why isn't it in the sources? Who is this Oded Yinon fella who supposedly was a former advisor to Ariel Sharon, a former senior official with the Israeli Foreign Ministry and why can't I find any proof for his existence ANYWHERE in Hebrew? That's why I think the entire thing is a conspiracy theory, it just lacks any basis. I went to the talk page and saw it was nominated for deletion in 2016 but wasn't due to a lack of consensus. It feels like that article needs a disclaimer because it doesn't have the one thing it HAS to have, the actual Yinon Plan.

"Now, the publishing itself seems to have played a major role in history. The article says that it did so "in conspiracy theories according to which the article either predicted or planned major political events in the Middle East since the 1980s". So it appears that the article does refer to "conspiracy theories", which is likely what you're referring to" Not quite, the article says that the actual "real" Yinon Plan affected conspiracy theories or was used as a part of them, I'm claiming that the Yinon plan itself isn't real. I couldn't find ANY sources or claims it exists in Hebrew, and the ones that do acknowledge it always say "Lol conspiracy theory look!" Anything you or I can do? :< the talk page seems pretty dead and I'm not sure what I can do. Thank you for your time!!! Tomer0412 (talk) 07:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tomer0412! Thank you for responding and for explaining things more in-depth. Yes, unfortunately, there are people who tend to be impatient toward new users and don't exactly treat them with full attention and respect. I believe in the opposite here; we need to be especially helpful, respectful, patient, and willing to communicate with our new users. We need editors and we need active users on this project. If we chase them away because we can't take some time and help them, they're not going to stick around, and it only gives this project a bad name when people do this. :-) Okay, I see what you're saying now. Because of the lack of images, sources, text, outside references and sources, and other material - you feel that it's possible that the Yinon Plan doesn't exist at all. That, to me, doesn't seem likely. There looks are a lot of references regarding this article subject, and while most of them aren't websites or webpages, they do seem to exist. I did some searching for you, and I was able to find some references (including what appears to be English-translated copies of the document). See this newspaper archive, this translated document, what appears to be another one, an essay on the article, and this JSTOR journal article, among others. Have you given Google Scholar a try? This is where I found these sources. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Dearest Oshwah, thank you as always for a wonderfully put reply in such a short time :) I went through the sources and I'm afraid that anything short of the actual document isn't going to suffice. I now see that I didn't make it clear earlier so I will now. I am a native Hebrew speaker. And I looked for any variation of "Oded" "Yinon" and "Plan" and couldn't find anything concrete. THAT'S why my red flags are flying, and I hope those red flags are understood. Why is it that I can't find any sources in the language it was written in? Any evidence for the existence of that person in Hebrew? Wouldn't you agree that if I wanted to find information on a topic using the language closest to the topic would be the best approach? And here I must clarify, this isn't coming from a place of "No one would ever do this" it just comes from a place of "Why is it that there's information on this anywhere BUT Israel? In languages that AREN'T Hebrew?". I am in no way putting the burden of proof on you, I'm just pointing out that this doesn't seem like an article made in good faith, notice how the source that is supposed to be the actual real article links to nowhere.

In conclusion, as a Hebrew speaker I should be able to find, read and confirm the existence of such a plan, find the actual author somewhere (since he was in a governmental role he must have been mentioned at some point) but I couldn't do any of that, every source I could find was in English and that shouldn't be the case, something just doesn't add up, you can pile sources on sources, linking to other websites that reference each other linking to them, linking back to Wikipedia. All I need is just that page of that journal and I would rest very easy, all the sources in the world don't mean much if the source isn't the actual piece of text that is responsible for it all. I hope this reply made my worries more clear. Thank you for putting time and effort into something I'm probably overthinking!!! and I hope you have a wonderful day :) Tomer0412 (talk) 07:49, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tomer0412! Thanks for getting back to me. Ah, I understand - you're looking for the actual document in Hebrew. Unfortunately, I don't speak Hebrew, so I won't be able to provide much assistance there. I also wish you a great day, and I hope that you find what you're looking for. If I can be of assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy editing! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Block evasion?

Hello sir, could you check if those IPs (Special:Contributions/217.137.43.39, Special:Contributions/217.137.43.127, Special:Contributions/213.104.127.43, Special:Contributions/86.8.200.219) are related to that one (Special:Contributions/92.40.182.0/23) you blocked recently? Thank you. Emirhan Ogun (talk) 13:03, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Emirhan Ogun! It looks like IP-hopping disruption to me. All of the IP addresses you asked me to look into come from Great Brittan, and appear to be from the same ISP. The article has been protected, so this should resolve the disruption that was occurring there. If you need anything else, or if the article receives any more disruption, let me know and I'll be happy to step in and take a look. :-) Thanks for the message and for letting me know about this, and I hope you have a great day. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much sir, if I see new disruption on the article or from one of the IP addresses I'm calling you, I wish you a great day. Emirhan Ogun (talk) 12:48, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Emirhan Ogun - You're very welcome! I wish you a great day as well! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Checking IP range?

I know CU can't compare an IP to a user, but is it within your remit to look at an IP range and say if all the edits are from the same person? More specifically (with respect to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zhmailik), I'm going to block 78.107.205.135, but it's been suggested that I block the 78.107.204.0/23 range. Would it be a fair question to ask a CU, "Are all the edits on 78.107.204.0/23 from the same person who's on 78.107.205.135?" -- RoySmith (talk) 22:37, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi RoySmith! It's good to talk to you again! I hope you're doing well! :-) Yes, according to policy, so long as I have sufficient suspicion of disruption or bad-faith editing, I could run the range through checkuser and take a look, and it wouldn't violate policy so long as I don't disclose any accounts that the range may be connected to, or violate any other checkuser or privacy policy. I don't see this as a common request or occurrence though... The only thing I'd be able to gather from doing so are the user agents, which would tell me if they are likely coming from the same person so long as the user agents are not common. In this case, unfortunately, the prevalent user agents are common, so I'd have to deem it  Inconclusive that the range is being operated by the same person. There's a lot of edits, too, and a lot of different user agents. My advice here would be to examine the contributions of that range, look at technical data you can access (such as WHOIS information and geolocation data), and determine if a rangeblock would cause collateral damage. In this case, the IP range appears to come from Romania. I'm not an expert on ranges and how IP distribution is done in that country, but looking at the contribution shows a lot of recent edits. It would be worth a deeper look to see if all (or a majority) of the edits from the different IP addresses in the range are bad faith disruption or vandalism, and, if so, if the editing behavior is similar - then take things from there. If you have any more questions or need my help with anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. It's good to hear from you! Keep in touch, and have a great day! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Problem editor

Hi Oshwah, could you look at Special:Contributions/Wright_Stuf, and.their edits to Talk:Wright Flyer? They've resorted to edit warring on the talk page, among other TEND issues, and are now calling reversions of their reversions vandalism. They've been warned twice for edit warring (soft and strong), and once for personal attacks. If you can keep an eye on this while you're active, it would be much appreciated. I suspect they'll end up at ANI soon enough , but none of look forward to continuing the timesink. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 07:43, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi BilCat! Sure, I'll keep an eye on things. Can you provide me diffs of the user being uncivil? Also, where did they call reversion of their reversions vandalism? It looks like there's some drama going on with this user and the talk page. I'm just wondering what this is all from and what's going on... :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:40, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a whole lot of drama! Quite frankly, I have a hard time following what they're saying most of the time. I think this reversion of a reversion is were they called it vandalism, and this one too, where they state "there is NO LIMIT on repairing Vandalism". I've tried to disengage and stop watching the page, but I keep coming back to it. BilCat (talk) 08:52, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi BilCat - Thanks for responding and for providing more information. I don't think the edit summary explicitly states that the user's own revision was vandalism. I think the user just arguing and is frustrated. What started this whole drama? Why is this user so frustrated? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

The short version: They uploaded a colorized version (their own work) of an iconic photograph of the first flight of the Wright Flyer, which they also "restored". They want the image placed in the infobox, even though most of the editors who've weighed in are against it. They are citing a discussion from 2014 as proof of a consensus to allow colorized photos to be used, and are arguing that it trumps local consensus. And yes, that's short! BilCat (talk) 09:14, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

BilCat - Oh joy. Okay, I'll keep an eye on things; you do the same. If things get out of control again and if edit warring occurs, let me know and I'll be happy to step in and put a kibosh to it. Thanks again for the message and for letting me know. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:24, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

The user made another dead-horse post which was reverted and re-reverted. BilCat (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

He's now at 3RR again, and a warning has been issued. BilCat (talk) 20:09, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

BilCat - I've started a discussion at ANI. Enough is enough, and we need to decide what the appropriate action here is... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:28, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I probably won't comment there, and just occasionally drop by to see what's happening. Feel free to ping me if there's anything specific that I need to address or respond to. BilCat (talk) 20:33, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

BilCat - Any diffs and information you can add to the ANI discussion would be helpful. However, this is not something you have to do if you don't feel comfortable doing so, or if you don't want to. It would help a lot, though, since you have some involvement with this incident and knowledge of what's going on... :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm not comfortable doing that at the moment. Laying out diffs has always been difficult for me, and there are.other users involved who will probably do it better than I would. As I said, I'd rather observe at this point. I think once the user responds to the ANI, the problems will become self-evident there. BilCat (talk) 20:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

BilCat - No problem. Like I said, I understand and that's completely up to you. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Apologies on Wicker Man page

Oshwah,

My greatest and sincerest apologies on my disruption of the wicker man page here. I truly did not mean to remove or displace whatever information I removed. I'm still a newbie when it comes to this editing, and was thrust into the role for a class assignment. My only objective was to add a reference and report about it, but it seems I've gone and messed up quite well.

Again, I apologize greatly for the mishap. Hopefully the changes I made can be reverted.

AnthonynolfiAnthonynolfi (talk) 10:24, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Anthonynolfi! Welcome to Wikipedia! :-) No problem! I fixed the edits for you, and I left a message on your user talk page about it here. Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial. It will provide you with many important walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will familiarize you with our policies and guidelines, how Wikipedia works, how to navigate around the site, and how to find important locations and pages. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them. If you have any questions or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'll be more than happy to help you with anything that you need! Keep up the great work! You're new and you're learning; it's okay to make mistakes! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:28, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Your Opinion

Hey there, thankyou for your advuce regarding rollback rights. I would love to ask your opinion regarding me applying for autopatrolled rights. I have so far created 37 articles. I think the min condition is 25. I give importance to citing sources, so only create with available sources. Please tell your opinion. Regards Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 12:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kashmorwiki! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your request for input. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about applying for the autopatrolled user right at all. It doesn't do anything for you, nor does it change anything on your end. Someone could give you the autopatrolled user right without telling you, and you wouldn't notice a thing - nothing would change. All the user right does is automatically mark new pages that you create as "patrolled" by the MediaWiki software so that other users don't have to manually review them - that's it. Before I was an administrator on Wikipedia, someone gave me autopatrolled without me asking or applying for it. It was because they noticed that my page creations were causing other users a high amount of unnecessary work having to go through and manually review them, so they just gave it to me. I don't think that I was even formally told on my user talk page that I was granted the user right (there isn't much of a point in doing so anyways). If you continue creating pages and articles that don't end up being deleted or seen as problematic, you'll eventually just be given the user right by someone. It's not something I would recommend that you ask for. I would instead just focus on the user rights that you have, and continue to learn, gain experience, and grow on Wikipedia and find an area that you enjoy contributing to (whether it be writing articles, reverting vandalism, contributing to wiki projects, etc). The autopatrolled right isn't going to do anything for you. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like my input on anything else. I'll be more than happy to answer them and help you with anything that you need. :-) Cheers! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:20, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

your helping mentality.:) I was about to ask for this right after the moment I created 25 articles. But later I took a decision that I still need to improve as a wikipedian. I still had some doubts regarding some articles. So I started learning gradually and now I am confident that I know well about the notability guidelines and all. So far, only one article I created have been deleted so far. Thats my first one. My main mission here is to improve the article related to Indian football. And my main concern here is that most of the former Indian International footballers does not have independent article.s So my main mission is to create them the articles with the available limited resources. The next thing I focus is to fight vandalism in which I still have some doubts. I hope that I will learn that gradullay within a month. Once again thankyou for your advice. Regards Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 12:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Kashmorwiki - We're glad to have you here, and I hope that you stay with us and become a long-term contributor to the project. :-) Not to worry! You will surely learn and grow as a Wikipedian as you create more articles and edit more content - just keep doing what you're doing, and you'll be just fine. :-) The first article that I created on Wikipedia was deleted, too. ;-) In the end, you should contribute to what you enjoy doing here. If you enjoy editing articles in the topic of Indian football and sports and patrolling recent changes for vandalism, perfect! I would never encourage someone to contribute and spend their precious time and energy volunteering in areas on Wikipedia that they don't enjoy. You'll get worn out, and you'll find yourself disliking what you're doing on Wikipedia in general. Be well, and let me know if I can answer any questions or provide you with any input or assistance with anything. I'll be more than happy to help! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kansas Bear! If there's suspicion of sock puppetry, yes - absolutely create an SPI. This way, we can document and track everything and have it for record-keeping purposes.

Kindly review my request for granting rollback rights

Hello Oshwah ; Sorry to distrub you.I have applied for Rollback Rights.But the page has some backlog. Could you review my request and tell me whether I need make any improvements in my editting ? BestwishesPoppified ^talk 13:28, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Poppified! No apologies are needed. It's no problem at all! :-) I took a quick glance through your recent contributions, and I think you're on the right track and you appear to be doing the right things, but you're not there yet. I see that you've only been active in recent changes patrolling and reverting vandalism for just over a week (your reversions using RedWarn start on February 2 of this year). Reviewing administrators want to see both edits and time when it comes to showing sufficient knowledge of policy and demonstrable experience for the tools, and I'm afraid that this lack of time might hold you back from having them granted (I typically like to see a few weeks' worth of experience and time at a minimum). I also see that you've only reported a total of two editors to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. I typically want to see a consistent record and pattern of good reports being made to AIV before I grant rollback to someone, and you don't have any experience with doing so yet.

Not to worry, though! If you continue spending sufficient time with patrolling and reverting vandalism and reporting repeat offenders to AIV, I think you'll be a good candidate if you apply for rollback in a few weeks. I'm going to hold off on reviewing your request, as there are other users currently in line. Jumping straight to your request would be showing favoritism and would be unfair to the other users who are waiting. If you have any questions or need anything else, please let me know and I'll be happy to help! I hope you have a great day and I wish you happy editing!

Pashtoman

Hi Oshwah. I don't know the evidence, of course, but you recently blocked PashtoPromoter as an abusive sock; he did note here that they are both him, but that he had stopped using the former account before he started using the current. A quick look at their contributions shows no timing overlap, so he seemed to be telling the truth there. I'd agree that he was less than ideal as a contributor, but is it fair to block as a sock? I'm not really questioning you, merely trying to learn, i guess, and showing some evidence you may not have seen; happy days, Lindsay^Hello 16:28, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi LindsayH! Thank you for leaving me a message here regarding the two accounts. I appreciate you for presenting the diff of the account disclosing their alternative. I was not aware of this, and I see that there is a lack of overlap with the accounts. I've gone ahead and unblocked them. I think that there may be other issues with this user as far as content-related edits go, but that is not relevant to the SPI process. Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:30, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for checking ~ i like an admin who is responsive and open to admitting error (as most are, to be fair). I imagine, rather sadly, that he might well end up blocked, but for a different reason; happy days, Lindsay^Hello 09:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

LindsayH - You're welcome. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. Unfortunately, I feel the same way. I hope you have a wonderful day and I wish you happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:48, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

What should I read before diving in as new user?

Thanks for reviewing my user page creation! I created my account to fix a dead link in a citation, but now that I have an account I don't have an excuse to not actually contribute more widely. It's obviously not your obligation (so feel free to ignore), but I'm looking for a primer about wikipedians(?) established culture, norms, etiquette, etc. Besides the new-user onboarding articles that we see at account creation, do you have protips on how I can make sure I'm not accidentally the start of wikipedia's Eternal September?

Hi Bassett green! You could give the new user tutorial a go! There's also the help page on getting started on Wikipedia!

firefox

• Hi! I am running Windows 10 Home (64 Bit) on a Virtual Machine, but even when firefox is booted in safe mode, using the D2L site, kills the CPU because it will jump to 100% usage. The XML tags, are depreacted for all other browser. How can I fix the firefox? --つがる Talk to つがる:) 🍁 01:23, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

つがる - Does turning off safe mode for Firefox improve the CPU usage? What hardware are you running on? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:41, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

It would kill my CPU even more if the safe mode was off. I am Running Windows 10 in virtualbox, physical OS, is Linux Mint 20. When I run D2L on Linux Mint's Firefox no problems whatsoever, but Microsoft Word is not supported there, hence I need to run it inside of Virtualbox. Also, if Firefox isn't setting off the CPU, it would be one of the Windows Update Software that are doing so, and there's no way to turn it off anymore. Yes, the Laptop is not a human, but I have some mechanical love for the laptop, and I don't think the fan running in high heat, on a 100% used CPU is very good for the laptop in the long run. --つがる Talk to つがる:) 🍁 01:50, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

It's always usually the D2L that uses all the CPU, or when it's closed, and no tabs are open, it randomly uses all my CPU for whatever reason. It doesn't seem right for it to do this. --つがる Talk to つがる:) 🍁 02:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

My apologies

Please accept my sincere apologies.

I admit, I've gone a little too far. Simply because Aung San Suu Kyi is elected member of Burma and her role hasn't change from State Counsellor of Myanmar to suddenly become Former State Counsellor of Myanmar.

It is incorrect and publishing in WIKI, showing lack of understand of the fact and ignore the voice of people from Burma.

We don't believe the recent military coup is legal and hence changing her role in WIKI is unacceptable.

Hope you understand where I am coming from.

Again, I apologise for what I have done to correct what I believe the right thing to do.

Sockpuppet investigation - Jees Mohan

Hi Oshwah,

Ref Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/JEES_Mohan/Archive that you dealt with today.

I believe Special:Contributions/Hsyetsg is another sock of Jees Mohan/MaNuMz7 - inserting his name into the same articles about Indian towns.

Do I need to request another investigation or can he be added to the previous one? I've never done this before.

Thanks! PrincessPersnickety (talk) 16:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi

• I am not good at guessing the right person, but few months before I nominated few stub like articles not touched for years and lacking notability for delition. The community made consensus on delition and one person opened the delition review for all those articles, but unfortunately he couldn't fulfill the condition to retain them. I have a smell that, that editor may have created new account to strike back at me.Can you please check Heybata connection with this editor[4] .It is not possible for a 5 hr old account to know the policies like WP:NOTESSAY, and this solidifies my belief. Heba Aisha (talk) 22:13, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

  Hi Heba Aisha! Thanks for leaving me a message here. Are you saying that you believe that Heybata is a sock puppet of Jethwarp? I want to make sure that I have the right users that you believe are socking. Why do you think that the user created a new account to get back at you? What exactly is the user doing? How do you know that the account is a sock puppet of the other? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:52, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, this is because, I usually work in caste related articles and also politics of northern india. In a drive to clean the wiki out of junk I nominated few articles for delition which were two to four line article in content and lacked what we call Wp:Notability, even one of them was tagged for a long time regarding that. Unfortunately, most of those articles were related to a particular caste group but not all, example Bari caste(which was also nominated by me but not related to that caste group). I had no bad intentions, I just wanted everything to be clear like articles of other countries which are decent in look. In fact most of the respondent in voting supported my stand over delition. I think this hurted Jethwarp who edits particularly the article related to that particular caste group. I am not saying he is wrong anyhow, the article which he wanted to protect right now Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha (which was also nominated by me) is in good state now and I nominated it when it was like an advertisement.Here[5] But after that, I haven't commented for delition as it is improved as of now. But, I think Jethwarp has taken it in a wrong sense. Heba Aisha (talk) 00:20, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Heba Aisha. Thanks for letting me know. I don't have enough proof to investigate or run a check on these accounts, but if you wish, you can file a sockpuppet investigation report here. I have my doubts that the two users are related based on the evidence I have, but you're welcome to file a report if you feel differently. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for being supportive, I would like to know the user you are pointing towards. I was in dispute with many people over time, all those were related to page of a particular caste group. My talk page is full of accusations and there will be more in future though I had edited that article months before and shifted my interests elsewhere due to increasing conflicts. But, since my comments are there on talk page of that caste article Rajput, everyone who hails from\related to that caste reaches upto me with intimidation and sometimes legal threats.As of now I am going to file WP:SPI, on ur advice, but it will be helpful if you can tell.Heba Aisha (talk) 01:20, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Heba Aisha - Working in caste-related articles sounds like a challenging area to work in. We appreciate your work, and I hope that you stay and become a long-term editor on Wikipedia. :-) I haven't investigated or looked into anything. This is why I was asking you about the accounts, what evidence and diff links you have showing a connection between the accounts, and why you believe that the Heybata account is a sock puppet of Jethwarp (as you indicated in your initial message to me). ;-) I don't have any actual evidence in order to do anything at this time. Checkuser isn't a tool that I can use to "fish" with; I can't just take one account and start running it through the tool just to see if it's a sock account due to general evidence and thoughts - I need actual evidence such as similar behavior, [[|H:diff|diffs]], and editing timeline. It sounds like you've had interactions with many people, and that your guess at to who might be a sock of whom might not be accurate. I just don't have anything to go off of here. If you wish to create an SPI and submit evidence showing a connection between two or more accounts, I encourage you to do so. Someone will be able to review the report and take any action if it's warranted. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:59, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Checkuser request for ongoing report

Greetings Oshwah, hope you're well.

Was unsure if a CU request can be added after the report has been submitted. Best regards --Kzl55 (talk) 13:34, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kzl55! Thanks for leaving me a message here. Sure, that's not a problem. I've updated the status for you. If the case is simply "open", all you have to do is change the status to be "CUrequest", and the status will update. I'll check it out today. :-) Cheers! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah, please check the user Hums4r as all articles as well as drafts created by them are related to same person.
