Revision as of 15:25, 11 January 2022
Talk page
↓↓↓ NEW MESSAGES GO TO THE *BOTTOM*. NOT THE TOP. ↓↓↓
Please add new messages to the bottom of the page. If a conversation is started here, I'll respond here; if it starts on your talk page, I'll respond there.
Contacting me
I prefer to communicate via talk pages. Please only email me if there is a good reason not to conduct a conversation on a talk page. I do not respond to emails regarding link deletions and other issues that should be discussed on your userpage or the article talk page.
Why did you remove my external links?
If you've come here because you want to know why I removed some external links you've added, please read Wikipedia's policies on spam, Wikipedia external link guidelines and conflict-of-interest first. Because of Wikipedia's popularity, it has become a target for folks looking to promote their sites, which is against Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform.
I was enlightened that any contribution to interminable disruptive, dispensable modifications will repudiate and confiscate my contemporary (specified) privileges. Which, indeed, my privileges are miniature. I sincerely apologise for my contribution to unnecessary edits. However, from what you mentioned, these edits were ‘Tests’.
I can comprehend that this is no exception, however, I can assure you that I didn’t make any edits which had to be reverted. (No harm was caused, I reverted the edits).
Additionally, I am apprised of Wikipedia’s policy; I had no intentions of contributing to disruptive edits.
In case you weren’t aware, I have made contributions to helping Wikipedia enhance its articles and hope to continue doing so.
Thanks for editing protecting the Eric Peterson article. It needs to be permanent. Temporary is not enough. If they decide to wait it out, they will be back to making sockpuppets to do the same crap they've been doing for months. It shouldn't have taken this long for this to be done. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 21:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You said that the early modern section already mentioned the old spelling "Teheran", but I checked before I edited and it wasn't mentioned at all other than in citations. The early modern section actually says "Taheran" and "Tyroan". I thought it would be important to mention the historical name used in English in the 19th and 20th centuries (similar to stuff like Leghorn for Livorno), though you might have a better idea on where it could go other than the etymology section. PikaSamus (talk) 20:37, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we need to exhaustively cover every possible transliteration. Do you have a source that says "Teheran" was the common spelling during a particular period? OhNoitsJamieTalk 20:40, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I really appreciate it, because otherwise I'd be trying to reverse additions by IP addresses... I fear that the page will continue to need semi-protection when this current protection expires, as those people are probably chomping at the bit, just waiting to engage in disruptive editing. Historyday01 (talk) 01:14, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You can ping me directly if it resumes immediately after protection ends. We typically try short protections first, then try progressively longer protection durations if disruption continues. OhNoitsJamieTalk 03:04, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I definitely will. There has already been one protection before, and when it expired, the IP addresses came back, so my guess is it will happen again. Hopefully not, but that is also my guess. --Historyday01 (talk) 22:28, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sources
I'm sorry, but what bad sources? I imported the genetic results from a book (Genetics of Hungarians, by Endre Czeizel) and the data of Székely himnusz from a portal of Lupeni.

This is English Wikipedia. If you continue to make pointless, bot-like edits without an adequate explanation, you will be blocked. OhNoitsJamieTalk 13:37, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
107.77.200.143
Three hours ago, you blocked 107.77.200.143 for abuse of multiple accounts with regard to their edits of Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori. They are already back as 107.77.201.229 (and yesterday it was 2600:1700:fb5:81b0:606d:4611:7ec5:8447). This isn't going to be resolved by blocking a single IP. Agricolae (talk) 20:20, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why would we use a 2016 when we have a good 2020 source? OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:32, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User not engaging; adding OR to articles.
Hi! I noticed yesterday while asking Thrashon(talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log) to please WP:ENGAGE, that you had left a previous warning on their talk page about adding OR to articles; Not only has Thrashon ignored my request, he added further OR to Nico Hülkenberg today. [1] - He indeed added the source, but then edits his edit to add in a word that is not used or even implied by the source. I did just send him a message yesterday, so I'll give him more time to reply, but I don't know what else can be done on the OR front. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 18:00, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[2] And back at it again. More OR, a host of other BLP issues, still no communication. Sigh. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've given them a final warning; feel free to ping me directly if they do it again. OhNoitsJamieTalk 18:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unserefahne is back
Please see "Varniku", he is mostly just insulting me, again. I have been advocating for him to be a good editor but he just can't let go of wanting to insult me and poorly researching topics. --Donald Trung (talk) 17:38, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
IP address 2A00:23C6:6A86:E01:7067:E85B:8E25:C7E4
I see that you have (quite rightly) blocked the above IP address for disruptive editing. That user has been behaving in a similar way on the article Little Amal, using two IP addresses, including the above address. The article Little Amal has already been reviewed and accepted for DYK, and will therefore be linked to the main page soon. I would be most grateful if you could please block this IP address (or at least unregistered editors in general) from the Little Amal article, at least until the Little Amal article has appeared on the main page DYK section. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 20:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Amara Sulya Freedom Movement until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Thanks for reverting. Please consider protecting the page from IP edits, it is highly likely to keep getting vandalized in the build up to his execution and I cannot keep reverting all the pro death penalty advocates who will keep vandalizing the page. 3 IP's have already done so and the page has been up less than 2 days. Please get it protected from IP edits for at least a week or two. Thanks. Inexpiable (talk) 21:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I rangeblocked one of the users; the last edits were most likely from an unrelated user (very different location). I would've call this particularly disruptive; it's arguably unnecessary details, but certainly not vandalism or a blatant policy violation. OhNoitsJamieTalk 21:59, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What about this? Just literally came in: [3] more vandalism yet again, I can't keep monitoring the page 24/7. Inexpiable (talk) 22:11, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
the problem is that the sources they are using are flimsy at best, a book written 40 years after the fact through here say interviews, and to add insult to injury the editor does not faithfully relate what is in the book, for example the book states that the children of Fatima practiced fasting and contrition, so the editor changed that to "the children committed suicide by starving themself" and that summarizes every point in their controversy section, it is no more than cherry picking, personal opinions and taking statements out of context, in fact no a single authority on the subject ever claimed such points as controversy in the last 100 years or so, i tried to reason with the editor but they are being very stubborn and childish. please help with this issue — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadi153 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
i can not belive you sent me a final warning when i am the victim here, why would i receive the final warning?i tried to reason with Spyrazzle, point by point, his editing of the page page is no more then personal opinions and interpretations of some flimsy sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadi153 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that if you post your own commentary on the article again, you will be blocked for original research. Discussion belongs on the article talk page. OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:58, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
hello, i have written this in the talk section, i believe my points are very reasonable, if the editor Spyrazzle does not make the changes would you be kind enough to step in and remove the controversy section???
the controversy section is very misleading, all of your points come from de marchi's book which IS a flimsy source and to add insult to injury you add your twist and interpretations to his words, you are not dealing in good faith, only interested in adding your personal displeasure of the apparitions and make it seem as a legit controversial points when they are not, fasting becomes suicide, a nightmare becomes demon possession, acts of contrition becomes self harm, and finally and unsubstantiated claim about an unfulfilled prophecy about ww1 taken from de marchi's book, and never ever mentioned in the thousands of other sources on the subject, i tried to explain to you that people faith and beliefs are issues that you should not troll, but you still show your deep bigotry. to summarize, unless you can find another respectable source beside an out of print book written by here say accounts after 40 years from the events then you need to drastically change the controversy section,all entries frm de marchi's book ned o be scraped or at least do the following: change the language, don't write the statement as matter of fact, write de marchi wrote in his book that people he interviewed claimed so and so, keep in mind he never interviewed any of the children even lucia who was almost impossible to get access to her during her life, and yet you claim de marchi as a close friend of hers which is not true. you can keep the entries from lucias memoirs about the blood on the penitence cords, keep it word for word and do not add your spin to it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadi153 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not doing to discuss the issue here. Discussion belongs on the article's talk page. OhNoitsJamieTalk 17:32, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just a quick one, I just saw a warning template that you edited warning an IP. It’s one of the best I’ve seen and had me giggling for a few minutes, where you stated you will demand the editor be blocked. Equine-man (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for protecting the page, you did not hide these vandal edits. Please do it. Also please take a look at the talk page history for similar violations, I have reverted it but it is better if they are removed as BLP violations. SeeVenkat TL (talk) 08:30, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Looks like you missed these, [4], [5], [6]. The name vandalism is being used to spread Islamophobic canards. So I suggest hiding it too. --Venkat TL (talk) 15:24, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done It's odd that the article doesn't mention the "two Indias" comment, as that's getting a lot of press. OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:28, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully someone will add. --Venkat TL (talk) 15:41, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Peel District School Board Edit
Hi, so I got a message saying that one or more of my recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. I am a little confused and a bit upset because I was writing on the sexual assault cases that came to light. I can find more verifiable sources if that is what is missing here but I was reporting objectively on what had happened. If I am wrong please let me know because I am new so I may not completely have understood the guidelines.

Hello dear
I got a message that you point the Hecta token an advertising page but this is not true due the most important to this page was multi functuality that this token present and this is a novel ecosystem in cryptocurrency in compare of others. If you want to know which page act as an adv please see safemoon page or shiba inu crypto. please before any acting go through the talk page of contributor and talk with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crypto.en (talk • contribs) 16:46, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There was zero evidence of notability. If at some point there are third-party reliable sources about the topic, a contributor can go through the WP:AFC process to create the article. Also, I'd suggest that you not address people as "dear" here. In some regional varieties of English (including American English), it comes across as patronizing.

65.94.152.215
Hi, you blocked 65.94.152.215 earlier today. I wanted to let you know that it appears the editor is evading the block by hopping to 65.94.152.178 and is making the same edits using this IP. CodeTalker (talk) 23:27, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a little different; looks like they are trying to add material this time, and there is disagreement as to whether sources are RS. I'd treat that as any other 3RR dispute. OhNoitsJamieTalk 18:06, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have partially blocked 82.132.213.71 and you may wish to extend the block because they do not seem to be here to build an encyclopedia! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:38, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That partial-block applies to a range; many users are on that range. However, given that most recent contributions from that range are not useful, I've expanded the block to be full for a month. OhNoitsJamieTalk 19:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
St Ambrose College edit
Hello there. You edited the St Ambrose College page back on 16 November, removing two individuals under the 'Former Pupils'. I'm not going to debate the actual edit, that is for the page's 'Talk Page'. However, I was just wondering what is the significance of the 'nn' comment you left. I'm fairly new to editing so sorry if it is a well-know editing initialism. Stuart Newmanite (talk) 14:50, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2603:6011:c000::/34
Hi Ohnoitsjamie. I noticed that when you partially blocked the range 2603:6011:c000::/34 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)), it looks like you forgot to fill in the "reason" field for the block. I would fill that in to make it clear why the range is partially blocked. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 08:13, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Since you have partially blocked 2409:4065:0:0:0:0:0:0/36 to Bodo-Kachari people, an editor from this range has been disruptively editing Rajbanshi people and Koch dynasty. Is it possible to extend the partial block to these pages as well? This is most likely a case of WP:BE. Thank you. Chaipau (talk) 10:09, 29 November 2021 (UTC) (edited) 10:13, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, partial blocks can cover up to 10 targets. It looks like they haven't edited one page for a few days, and are using the talk page for Koch dynasty which is good. Let's hold off for now since it appears they're making an effort to follow WP:BRD. If that changes, feel free to ping me. OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:10, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that sounds good. Thanks! Chaipau (talk) 15:35, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OhNoitsJamie
Hi there. I see you just reverted my edits under Non-fungible token. While I agree with you that this page isn't supposed to list every NFT project, the one I listed is a particularly important one in that (a) it has been covered by BBC, which gives a lot of credibility to the space, and (b) it appears to be the first project where equity is given in the original work. This are both significant advancements in the space and should be noted. I would appreciate it if you kindly un-reverted my changes (not sure if that's a word but I'm sticking with it! Thanks Knightingales (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Making a bunch of pointless edits to get autoconfirmation so you can plug an NFT isn't a great idea. Take it to Talk:Non-fungible token. OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:52, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the edit summary link towards this. But, just to be clear, if I add a reference to thegenealogist.co.uk, in support of an entry on WDYTYA?, for a bio article (because that's where the supporting research for the TV programme is generally detailed), it will get summarily removed as "COI spam"?? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:47, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are better links available; the link to the actual episode on the BBC, as well as whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com, which is licensed by the television program. At the moment, I'm only removing entries added by the COI user. OhNoitsJamieTalk 14:49, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The references to thegenealogist.co.uk generally have far more information than the TV programme itself. We've agreed somewhere that references to the thegenealogist.co.uk are now blacklisted? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:53, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think blacklisting is merited at this point (the COI user has been given a warning, and seems to be the only user adding the links). I'm simply replacing links that were added by that user, not all of the links in general. I don't think thegenealogist is a strong WP:RS candidate, as it's trying to sell subscriptions and doesn't appear to have the editorial oversight that other sources do. OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:26, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As I understand it, the BBC programmes are produced using different teams of independent researchers. It's then a decision of those research teams to sell their background research work to thegenealogist.co.uk, if they wish. The tie-in with the BBC series is a good promotional tool for thegenealogist.co.uk. That website has to generate revenue somehow, just like any other commercial organisation. And yes individual subscriptions are the obvious choice. The Times and The Daily Telegraph also have to try and sell as many subscriptions as possible. We tend to think of them as WP:RS?! Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not opposed to organizations making money. I am opposed to setting a precedent where we allow single purpose accounts to canvass Wikipedia for years to promote their website. OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:13, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's not unreasonable. But if the resulting "punishment of the SPA" means that the source in question, although still a useful or even unique one, is "outlawed" en masse, it looks a bit like Wikipedia cutting off its citation nose to spite it's bio article face? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:32, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia isn't losing anything by replacing the COI links with direct links to the show or a licensed partner. OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'd beg to differ. I think it's "sub-optimal" to describe certain links as "COI-links" for evermore, thanks to the reckless spamming of one individual editor (who has presumably been deservedly blocked). I also suspect that, in some cases at least, thegenealogist.co.uk offers a greater level of detail than any other written source (and certainly greater than the BBC show itself), and of course provides a written alternative to watching the entire BBC programme. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:51, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
One last question: are the BBC iPlayer links to WDYTYA permanently available to anyone outside UK? e.g. I have a UK TV licence but this one for Amanda Holden tells me I have only "one month left to watch". Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:03, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The video links appear to only be available to UK IP addresses. Per WP:PAYWALL, that wouldn't disqualify them, but the officially licensed WDYTYA? Magazine would be the next-best replacement link. OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:23, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Hardly ideal then. I guess you'll be replacing any BBC iPlayer link with a WDYTYA? Magazine link (assuming there's a magazine article for every episode). Martinevans123 (talk) 15:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. If I'm going to do that, I may as well replace all of them. Cheers, OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:43, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from TheGenealogist, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Child abuse revdel
As a heads up, I went ahead and suppressed the revdel on the Child abuse page you did a few days ago (I have it watchlisted basically only for the purpose of catching revdels that should be suppressions.) Anything like that normally should be routed to the oversight team because it's pretty much #1 on the list of things we will suppress without question. You didn't do anything wrong, just giving you a heads up for the future :) TonyBallioni (talk) 17:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Jaime. It was suggested that it might be a good idea to contact an administrator directly about this, so here I am. I can't say conclusively, but these two very much appear to be the same person. While the named account isn't an outright vandal, I'm wondering if an indefinite block might be in order, filed under WP:NOTHERE, among some other things. See IJBall's statement here (User talk:IJBall#Talk:Just Roll with It#Cancelled), where he mentions giving the aforementioned IP a warning for personal attacks. The aforementioned IP has also outed themselves not too long ago at Talk:List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel#Show Cancelled: OH finally, if you ban me as I was warned I will just make a new account. IP addresses aren't permanent. While they don't specifically mention the Peacerocker07 account, I think it's pretty clear, at least to me, that it's them. And they're basically threatening to evade their block, if they're blocked, by creating other accounts and using other IP addresses. And based on messaging style (wording, formatting, etc.), I'm also sure 96.40.135.81, whose only contribution is to that discussion on the Just Roll with It talk page, is also Peacerocker07. I can't say whether or not this Hulk account, which has also commented on the Disney Channel talk page there, is also Peacerocker07. I don't think they are and are a totally separate user, but the IPs definitely appear to be. Based on their threats to sock, I don't think Peacerocker07 is really here to contribute anything useful. Thanks in advance for looking into this. Amaury • 05:44, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar enough with the situation (and topic area) to block anyone per WP:DUCK here. I'd suggest filing a sockpuppet investigation if you think there is strong evidence that multiple accounts are being abused. Independent on the multiple accounts issue, the IP can be blocked if they make further personal attacks or other disruption; at the moment, they're appropriately using talk pages to discuss the issue, albeit perhaps not in the most constructive manner. OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:24, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello OhNoitsJamie. I never intended to hurt or disrupt Wikipedia. I just wanted to enlighten people about the wonders of different cities that do not own a collage in their Wikipedia page, like Chelyabinsk and Sydney. Could I have permission to continue??? I never meant anything bad for the community, and all the pictures are owned from me. I name the montages because me and some people around me call collages that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geografreak (talk • contribs) 17:19, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We already have collage templates for making collages that use the original images; using the templates gives better control over the quality of the original images and provides for better flexibility. Adding a single composite collage is not an improvement in any way. If you continue adding these composite images, you will be blocked for disruptive editing.

Also, if possible, can you limit my talk page range to autoconfirmed and extended confirmed users only, please? I'm facing this since more than three months now and my talk really needs protection from all this harassment and abusing thing. ManaliJain (talk) 14:20, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Partial-rangeblocks are a preferred solution here. We try to avoid any kind of protection on talk pages unless it can't be controlled via blocks; let's continue with that for now. Semi-protection is a possibility, but I don't see any argument for extended confirmed protection. Regarding the annoyance of getting pings from them, you can disable notifications from specific users by going to your user "preferences" -> "notifications" -> "Mute users."

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks
Hi, thanks for clarifying that sockpuppet user. For me, I always have good faith assumption for every editor that approached me. And what I did is always the same thing, guide them one by one on how to write Wikipedia articles properly for them to submit through AfC, but not simply use my autopatrolled authority to publish their article into the main space.

Help on my article being redirected/moved
Hi Ohnoitsjamie,
Can I ask you a favor, or if you can redirect this inquiry of mine to any admin that can do the task. I wrote/created the article Chung Li-he Museum on 17 August 2013. But on 15 September 2021, User:Sheijiashaojun black/empty my article and change/add a redirect link my article to the new name (probably name correction spelling error) to article Chung Li-ho Museum which is new article created on 15 September 2021 by that User:Sheijiashaojun. By right User:Sheijiashaojun should 'move' the original Chung Li-he Museum I created on 17 August 2013 to the new name Chung Li-ho Museum, instead of redirecting the old one and create new one (to maintain the full history and creation history of the article). Do you know how to clear this mess? Thanks. Chongkian (talk) 03:39, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Sir, this is just to inform you that i strongly suspect users Kelly willikjamp, Thw ILLusionist and DCSozil for possibly abusing multiple accounts, these uses are repeatedly adding poorly sourced content on Economy of Maharashtra, i strongly suspect that the above mentioned users are sock-puppets of AMRozil whom you blocked on the Kolkata wiki page, i have studied these users edit histories and i can safely say that it shows a lot of similarities to the edit histories of AMRozil , Sniper 65k and Precious dracula etc. Their edit summaries are also similar.
I have provided reliable sources for the GDP of maharastra and its clear from the source that the GDP is $32.24 trillion for 2020-2021 <ref name="Budget Analysis">{{cite web|title=Maharashtra Budget Analysis 2020-21|url=https://www.prsindia.org/parliamenttrack/budgets/maharashtra-budget-analysis-2020-21|website=PRS Legislative Research|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref> but these users are maliciously reducing it to $26.61 trillion. all these users have just one motive and that is to reduce the economy of India, indian cities, states and provinces. I request you to please take the necessary action.
There's an IP range repeatedly reverting an edit request answer they don't like. Could that be addressed with a rangeblock for that page? Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was not necessary to lock this page due to so-called ‘disruptive editing’. The only disruption was from the editor who insisted on repeatedly reverting a factual edit. Michael Bates is not the Prince of Sealand. That is a fact, not an opinion. Whilst I am not disputing the notability of Sealand and the situation around it, an encyclopaedia should not be listing a real person under a fictional title. Bates is only notable as someone who has styled himself as the ruler of a territory his family has claimed as a micronation. That’s how he should be listed - not as a Prince. 85.255.236.129 (talk) 15:27, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sir, this is to inform you again that i suspect another sock puppet on Economy of Maharashtra this user is named Willing jon he made the exactly same edit on this page as user Kelly willikjamp,Thw ILLusionist andDCSozil , the same pattern of removal of sourced references and then reducing the GDP to Rs26.61 trillion(lakh crore) when it is actually RS 32.24 trillion(lakh crore) here's the link https://prsindia.org/budgets/states/maharashtra-budget-analysis-2020-21 also he gave an edit summery in a bengali language which is exactly the language of the country those sockpuppets come from. hence, i again request you to take the necessary actions, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijaydanny (talk • contribs) 05:37, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Conroy editing Blocks
I noticed on my page that you had blocked my ip address from making edits, I think you got the wrong Ip address. It is not a problem for me, since I have never made an edit on kevin Conroy , maybe you should check to see as you may need to block another person to get the edits your talking about blocked.2603:6011:DD01:5046:B1DA:D272:DA1A:1820 (talk) 18:42, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not for the domain again. Last night got the reason finally! Ans thanks for your co-operation.

Same IP?
Hi Ohnoitsjamie. I came across your blocking of this IP, and their changes and attitude looked reminiscent of a few IP editors who keep popping up and showing similar patterns of editing - often Australian and in particular South Australian, middle Eastern and Indian focused articles, also crime and passports/nationality, sometimes adding images, usually poorly written and sources with bare urls. I cannot find them all now (I think this was one of the early ones), and I don't know what, if anything can be done when you suspect it's the same person but they keep switching IPs. Their edit summaries are often combative, often revert other users' reverts, and don't show any willingness to learn how to properly format citations, or any other aspects of good editing. Anyway, for what it's worth, there is this one and this one.
Separately, I noticed that this one keeps blanking the warnings on their talk page - although I don't think the same as above.
Just passing it on in case there is something you can do to keep an eye on them... Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:30, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that all sounds very familiar, especially the "poorly written" and "combative" parts. I looked at their recent edits, definitely the same voice (e.g., "lady who was shot dead"). Thanks for catching that! OhNoitsJamieTalk 01:38, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sealand
Blocking my IP address because of so-called 'disruptive' editing to the Michael Bates article was completely inappropriate. Have you even looked at the edits, or are you just pushing your own agenda? Whatever you, I or other edits might think about it, the FACTS are that this is NOT a sovereign country or even a partially recognised one. It's the project of one family. Simply calling yourself royalty does not make it true. Also, the most recent edits, commenting that Michael Bates is not a self-proclaimed prince, are inaccurate. His father was not in a position to bestow a royal title, so even if he did 'declare' his son the Prince of Sealand, it's meaningless. Michael Bates is still trying to claim the title as legitimate, therefore he is self-proclaimed. 2A00:23C7:8905:CC01:791F:C50E:DD44:B86 (talk) 12:03, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're blocked because you were edit-warring from multiple IP addresses. You're not blocked from editing talk pages related to Sealand, where you may try to establish a consensus for your suggestions. I'm not interested in discussing Sealand on my talk page, and further comments about Sealand here will be removed. OhNoitsJamieTalk 13:44, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My IP address is generated automatically - it's rarely the same twice. It's not an attempt to pretend to be more than one user. If you didn't want to discuss this on your talk page, you shouldn't have instituted the block.
Why, when I make a factual change, is it 'edit warring', yet someone else reverting each time is fine? It takes two. Also, if you look at the Michael Bates talk page, I HAVE raised this issue there. Anyone wishing to put a case for using a self-created, unrecognised royal title on a Wikipedia page could have done so, and could still do so. Yet they just revert with no explanation or justification. Who is starting the edit war here? 2A00:23C7:8905:CC01:791F:C50E:DD44:B86 (talk) 15:15, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have tried to clean-up the infoboxes in Alaettin Çakıcı, Sedat Peker, Ali Yasak, Dündar Kılıç, Savaş Buldan, Ömer Lütfü Topal, Sami Hoştan. This is just removing info that doesn't belong -mostly redundant nationality per WP:INFONAT and
unsourced/non-notable relatives (including the listing of children's names instead of just the number). A changing IP reverts every change within a day. Either they don't read the edit summaries or don't agree with the rational. Because the IP changes, I can't discuss and/or issue templated warning messages about this being disruptive. The edit history of Sedat Peker shows them making the same edits multiple times in the past several weeks, from IPs beginning with 88.234 & 88.236. This isn't vandalism, but still disruptive editing against project consensus. Is this enough disruption for a block? If not, what else? Thanks. MB 19:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ohnoitsjamie, you've removed my link from the LinkedIn article. I've replaced the original broken link: https://www.networkcomputing.com/networking/what-linkedin-endorsements-mean-you with a fresh working link. The new link has the same content as the broken link, plus even more extended information about the topic. If the original link and linked content was acceptable, then the new link and content should be acceptable as well.
The link you added does not qualify as a reliable source. Please do not add any more links to that site. OhNoitsJamieTalk 14:25, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why is that site not reliable? It's online since 2015 and has a lot of accurate information about linkedin, free resources, not just selling products and services. Actually, the article you've linked from businessinsider, only includes information about accepting and giving endorsements, it does not explain what endorsements are, no historial data, nothing. The article that I linked and that you call "unreliable" source has actually more information and more accurate information about the endorsements.
Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promoting websites. Further additions of the link may result in blacklisting, which is bad for SEO. OhNoitsJamieTalk 14:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please help me, I just try to understand the moderation rules. So basically, as I see, promoting businessinsider (which is a clearly for protif organisation) with a less informative article is perfectly fine. Ok, I don't agree, but I accept it. But please explain why?
WP:RS should make it clear why a site offering to sell LinkedIn recommendations does not qualify as a reference. I'm not explaining further. Please promote your business elsewhere. OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:09, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question About IP Address Block (2600:1003:B02C:FD04:D465:6688:7B2D:2E18)
A block notice for my IP Address, under the reason of disruptive editing, had recently ended and I wanted to ask what specific reason there was for the block (i.e. not explaining reason for my edits of 1960 USA Presidential Election page, not citing enough sources for the page, etc.) and how I could avoid further blocks in the future.
Looks like "collateral damage" from a rangeblock to this range, which was also being used by a different block-evading editor making disruptive genre changes (e.g., [12],[13]). Rangeblocks are sometimes called for if a disruptive user is using dynamic IPs, but unfortunately they can affect innocent users as well. For users on dynamic ranges that are caught in long or frequent rangeblocks, we recommend creating an account. OhNoitsJamieTalk 11:08, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Racism in Canada
Hi, I'm not entirely sure as to why Racism in Canada was semi-protected for disruptive editing. I do think that the reasons laid out per the IPs were quite constructive. It definitely is quite concerning that CASalt had indeed not merged the two pages appropriately, leaving out vital information over the definition of the word. I mean there has to be some sort of a conflict of interest here with their name, and that them requesting for semi-protection was a way to "lock out" IPs from editing, refusing to properly respond to the issues raised in the edit summaries. 188.113.161.59 (talk) 18:30, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Malaysia/Singapore football pages IP vandal has jumped to 2405:3800:900:0:0:0:0:0/40. However, a block extending to 2405:3800:900:0:0:0:0:0/40 may effectively block the entire ISP on their IPv6 address space.

I don't think we have anything akin to whitelisting within a rangeblock; ACC would be the way to go.

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
I see you're the administrator who locked the page Straits Settlements. If you looked at the previous edits, the edits made were not disruptive or vandalism and were made in an effort to improve the article. The reports and continuous reverts made by the user Chipmunkdavis are frivolous and merely stems from the fact that they wish to remove content that they do not like. I assume because these are IP editors they probably thought it would be much easier to just brush it aside. Everyone should be invited to edit to make improvements. 220.87.216.167 (talk) 10:23, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draftification query
Hiya. This draftification looks a little odd - were you aware the page was as old as it is (created in mainspace in 2014) when you moved it? Best, Darren-Mtalk 15:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, I hadn't noticed that; I saw some obvious COI editing and assumed it was new. I can either (1) leave it be as is; I acknowledge that it was too old to draftify, but it clearly doesn't meet notability guidelines; or (2) move it back to article space and AfD it. OhNoitsJamieTalk 15:17, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
