Another one for you

Four Major Rivers Project - this thing is a train wreck. I started to try some clean up and then reverted myself. The whole thing needs a re-write and proper sourcing. It shouldn't be in article space, it should at least be moved to draft, if not deleted. It's largely WP:OR propaganda, some of it written in the first person (!). There also might be some translation issues (from Korean). Have a look... I dare ya. - ^theWOLFchild 15:59, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Thewolfchild - Yeah, I'd say that there are a number of issues with the article, sure. You might want to start by verifying that this article meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines and that it doesn't need to be nominated for AFD. Then you won't be wasting your time cleaning up and fixing the article just to find out that it shouldn't even be kept in the first place... ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:07, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

To be honest, I have no interest in this article. I just happen to come across it in the history of a (possible) IP vandal. I don't know a lot of what admins can and can't do (other than blocking the shit outta' some folks). I thought perhaps you could move it to draft or somewhere else, have the page creator (User:Finekim) take it to his sandbox, or tag it or... something. Like I said, I'm not sure what you can do, I just know there's a huge turd of an article sitting there. I have no interest in getting too involved with it myself and you could just take a pass as well. I have no expectations, I was just curious what abilities pro-active admins have with something like this. Thanks - ^theWOLFchild 19:06, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Thewolfchild - Administrators have the technical ability to edit, move, and delete (almost) all pages and what-not... but we're bound by the exact same policies and guidelines as everybody else (if not more strictly so). We don't have higher "status" or "authority" than other editors and non-admins, and while we're given the technical ability to make major changes and edits that users cannot - that doesn't mean that we get to move what we want, delete what we want, and pull justifications from the abyss and go with it... lol. It would be inappropriate for me to move this page to the draft space or the creator's sandbox... especially when multiple users have contributed to it and given how long this article has existed for. I've moved newly-created articles in an "IAR manner" to the draft space multiple times before, but it was usually shortly after its creation and to keep the article creator from being bitten and disheartened. There are situations where moving an article to the draft space is okay in my opinion, but it's usually while helping the creator one-on-one and with messages on the user's talk page providing them assistance.

Anyways... so, in this situation, I have the same list of actions we can take as you do: We can edit and improve the article, add maintenance tags to help draw attention to it so other editors will improve it, tag it for speedy deletion, PROD, or AFD if we think it qualifies for such, etc. I was under the impression that you wanted to get action performed on this article (whether it be editing or improving it, or tagging it for whatever), which prompted the suggestion I made to you in response: Make sure that this article doesn't meet a criteria for deletion (check for notability, etc) first before you spend more time editing it... then you won't waste your time improving an article just to find out later that it instead needed deletion.

I hope I answered your questions and pointed you in the right direction... lol. Please let me know if you have any more questions or need anything else and I'll be happy to help. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:33, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

External links

Hi I am new to wikipedia and trying to understand how all this works. You made a change on my talk page : "Remove external URLs and links." (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ANodraak&type=revision&diff=815033148&oldid=815033061), for what reason? Nodraak (talk) 19:57, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Nodraak! Welcome to Wikipedia! When I see external URLs and links added to user pages on accounts that are very new or just created and as one of their very first edits, I try to remove those URLs in case they contain personal information, or any items that aren't allowed. In a nutshell, you'll want to read this. Since you're brand new here, I highly recommend that you visit Wikipedia's new user tutorial and go through the entire thing before you do anything else. It will help by teaching you our core and fundamental policies, guidelines, and procedures, as well as teach you the basics and fundamentals of the website's layout, how to navigate and find important places, and how we collaborate and build the project. It will make your overall experience and learning curve as a brand new editor a much much easier one. If you have any questions or need help with anything, please do not hesitate to message me here and ask. I'll be more than happy to help you. Again, welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad to have you here! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:37, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

About Preslava's article.

I'm (slowly) translating the Bulgarian article. I will put sources after I'm fully done. Sorry if I caused any trouble. Peace Quickfingers (talk) 23:56, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Quickfingers - You didn't cause any trouble at all. I didn't realize that you've been expanding the article and have made a list of many other edits to it and I accidentally reverted all of your changes instead of that partial edit you just made. I've of course restored your changes back to the article and I apologize for the confusion I caused. Please let me know if you have questions or need help with anything and I'll be happy to do so :-). Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:59, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

I understand. Thanks for the answer. If you notice any mistakes or typos in the article, feel free to fix them since my English isn't exactly perfect. Quickfingers (talk) 12:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Regarding McGregor edits

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McGregor

Hi Oshwah, thank you for the introduction! Why are these edits not considered constructive? McGregor's racially-charged remarks are discussed widely among fans, media, and MMA community at large. They are more widely known and probably more controversial than his incident at Bellator 187, but that remains on the page. Compare the Google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=mcgregor%20racist,mcgregor%20bellator

I think these remarks are a large part of his story and his general trash-talking character. They are a huge factor in why he is so polarizing among MMA die-hards and casual fans. I have followed MMA and McGregor for many years so I have context to these remarks, and my edits were neutral.

Could you elaborate on why they are not constructive? Thank you.

X2o (talk) 00:54, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi X2o! Sorry for the delay responding to your message here. I saw this edit and thought that the changes you made stated something different than I now realize was completely wrong. What's even worse? I reverted both of your edits, not the first one (aside from the fact that I was completely 100% incorrect). Hence, I owe you my sincere apologies for the mistake - I'm very sorry. I've restored your changes to the article and removed that warning I left you. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to answer them and assist you. Again, your edits were not problematic at all and I'm sorry for the confusion I caused. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:50, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind response- I'll polish up my changes and hopefully everything will be fine! X2o (talk) 02:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

~~Kelly Ripa's Birth Year~~

Hi, this is JustMeJordanW. Just recently I have changed the year of Kelly Ripa's birthday. It said that she was born on October 2, 1971. Some sources such as IMDB state that she was born a year earlier which was 1970. IMDB is a very accurate source of information. Please understand that I had no intention of violating any copyright laws on this website. If I have violated said copyright laws, I will take full responsibilty for it.

My Royal Young

This 'My Royal Young' grief on Wikipedia has gone on far too long in my understanding, with the certain pages being affected. What I don't seem to understand is why does this user keep on doing that. And it also appears that a small amount of user talk pages have been affected by this vandalism including zzuuzz's, 99.109.85.105 and sometimes my own and a few others. I cannot think why the person only vandalises those talk pages with the same types of vandalism as what it did on certain articles.

It also appears that 99.109.85.105 has some great detective work on sock puppetry or is it that My Royal Young's vandalism easy to spot... Anyway, I shall thank you for the reverting of today's vandalism at 2:46 UTC with your magic of Huggle. Iggy (talk) 12:19, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Iggy - Well, someone's gotta do it, right? :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:46, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes indeed. Huggle is your friend in reverting vandalism to talk pages as well as articles. Iggy (talk) 17:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

ACC

Hi, Oshwah, can you add User:Winged Blades of Godric/Accwelcome to ACC welcoming templates?Regards:)Winged Blades^Godric 12:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Winged Blades of Godric! Awesome welcome template! I like it a lot! Are we talking about WP:ACC? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:34, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Yeah! More specifically this.:)Winged Blades^Godric 12:36, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Winged Blades of Godric - AHA! I was just making sure :-). I don't see how I couldn't... let me bring this up to the other admins, and sure... I don't foresee a problem with doing that. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:37, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Winged Blades of Godric - Okay, so I have a couple of questions for you regarding your template (and potentially a few things we need to fix with your code first). I see that you use {{BASEPAGENAME}} to fill in the user's username - good. I'm glad to see that you handled it that way; makes life easier for us all. My question for you: does this template take a parameter or handle the input of a user signature passed to it? How would I add my signature to it without manually adding ~~~~ to the message? Do you handle this parameter? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:47, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

No qualms:) Initially, I was going for a version that could be used by any user but choose to make it self-use-only.You are always free to edit and develop or customise the template!Winged Blades^Godric 12:52, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Looking at your code, namely this line:

{{blue|Sincerely, '''''[[User:Winged Blades of Godric|<span style= "color:green">''Winged Blades''</span>]]^{[[User talk:Winged Blades of Godric| Godric]]} ''''', 12:33, 13 December 2017 (UTC)}}

...it looks like you're hard-coding your signature into the template - we need to fix this. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:55, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Winged Blades of Godric - Okay, I fixed it for you here. This will keep the text from accidentally converting into a signature in the template code itself, but when it's substituted out in the wild, the <includeonly> tags will disappear, the tildes will then be substituted into the page as raw text, and then the MediaWiki software will translate that code and convert it into your signature when the page changes are applied. And lord and behold.... IT WORKS! Now you can welcome people by simply adding {{subst:User:Winged Blades of Godric/Accwelcome}} to anybody's user talk page, and the template will do the rest for you ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Alright, I just added it to ACC for you here. Let me know how it goes and if there are any issues I need to help fix. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:06, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Gee! The sandbox experiment worked great:) But I think, the template could be pretty well usable by everybody except for the very first line :--I am [[User:Winged Blades of Godric|Winged Blades of Godric]], a volunteer with the....Any thoughts?Winged Blades^Godric 13:09, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

And heartfelt thanks for the addition.Winged Blades^Godric 13:10, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Winged Blades of Godric - Oh damn... good catch. I didn't see that. Give me a few and I'll figure out how we can fix that... ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:54, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Gosh! Per this, since long back, the functionality (the bot or the OAuth) is not working.Probably the tool-roots shall mention the same on the page or disable the option all together from the interface.Winged Blades^Godric 15:16, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes, ACC welcoming doesn't work. It will be fixed in newinternal. I fixed the username issue. — JJMC89 (T·C) 15:23, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Well that's a bummer!! Oh well; at least we got the template touched up and working. Oh, and replacing the hard-coded signature with {{REVISIONUSER}} is how you resolve that particular situation and keep it dynamic. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Pattern vandalism on multiple school articles

Since you're much more tech savvy than myself (I learned how to program my VCR right about the time it became obsolete), I'm bringing this to you. I've been reverting the name of Lil Pump from many many school and school district articles all across the US. I don't know if the kiddies have been chatting on the Reddit or what, but it's becoming more than irritating. Frequently, he's added as an administrator of some sort and frequently there are references to his works, or to Xanex added concurrently. I'm wondering if it is technically feasible to set up a filter that looks for his name being added to an article under WP:WPSCH? John from Idegon (talk) 06:41, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm such a technodweeb that I don't really understand the category tree but I'm guessing items in Category: Schools in the United States and Category:School districts in the United States should cover the range of articles. John from Idegon (talk) 06:45, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi John from Idegon! Edit filters apply at the namespace level, so we can't only apply them to trigger on specific articles (without listing each one in the code). But I definitely agree that I've been reverting quite an bit of vandalism lately with edits adding "Lil Pump" (and some other rapper) to articles. I'm gonna need to assess as to whether or not that using the edit filter tool is warranted in this situation, and what the probability of false positives could or would occur as a result of doing so. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:57, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Oy.... guessing that would be a waste of time, as since the dude recently managed to off himself, I'm guessing there are at least a large number of articles his name could legit be added to. Perhaps (not gonna help the immediate situation, but...) category level filtering is something we should ask the programming gods at WMF to give us.

All views must be heard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.66.190.129 (talk) 12:42, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

That's... not how Wikipedia works, sorry. You need to read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on neutral point of view and identifying reliable sources before you continue editing. Failing to do so and continuing to edit in violation of these policies will result in being blocked from editing. Please take my advice and read through them. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:46, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Warned ip user to block

Hi. Some time ago you warned a ip user against adding unsourced material. This user actually goes on with this pattern (adding fancy dates on several Ottoman articles) under this ip and this new one (this is a dynamic ip, (s)he has been doing this since months). Can you do something?--Phso2 (talk) 13:04, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Phso2, and thanks for the heads up. I've blocked the IP range for consistently adding unreferenced content. If you see any more pop up, let me know and I'll take a look. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:09, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

So you obv. have a script or something that stops criticism of some organisations - but the page Christians against Poverty is already flagged as being advert like - what's your agenda?81.138.85.42 (talk) 13:24, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

My agenda? If making sure that what editors add to articles are referenced by reliable sources per Wikipedia's policies count as an "agenda", then... yeah, that's... my agenda then. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Why are you editing false information on my Wikipedia page ?

Hi.. This is Nikunj Malik. May I know, why are you Re-editing my age to 39 & adding ‘arrogant’ in my introduction line ? Do you have a personal grudge ? 182.70.66.71 (talk) 19:28, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

That "arrogant" was a bit of missed vandalism Oshwah inadvertently restored when he reverted your unsourced addition. All content in a biography must be accompanied by references to reliable sources. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:49, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

NeilN is correct - I didn't notice that part of the modification - you were of course absolutely correct in removing that vandalism. My concerns (and the reason for reverting the edits you made) were the changes you were making to the article subject's birthdate. After reading through the article content, I believed that no referenced at all in regards to birthdate, so I removed it entirely. I saw that your edit afterwards completely put it back, and at the date you had changed it to. This is when I decided that the back-and-fourth reverting was doing no good, and that it was time for me to step back and let others step in and try and resolve the issue. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I looked for a source for the birth date. She confirms the day on her (unconfirmed) Twitter account but not the year. Nothing else decent I could find. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:25, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

NeilN - Thank you for taking a look at this in-depth and for attempting to verify the birthdate of this person, as well as for assisting me with the issues at-hand that I was (attempting... lol) to resolve. I really appreciate it :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:17, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

dalton high school (ohio) page

Hello, I've recently tried to make a few changes on my former high school's page. I graduated 5 years ago and was simply making some changes on behalf of the current student body. my sister has informed me of these changes who is a current student. I wish to make these changes permanent. I did make a few mistakes however the last change is accurate. 2600:1700:E7D0:38D0:8444:A406:77F7:953 (talk) 21:13, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Who's sock is this? You just set an expiration time of 36 hours. SA 13 Bro (talk) 21:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi SA 13 Bro! It's good to talk to you again! I hope things have been going well for you. Good call on the 36 hours - it should be set to an indefinite block given the vandalism created. I thought that the vandalism made might have been related to patterns I've seen made by an LTA (I couldn't tell you which one), but I wasn't absolutely sure - hence why I added that it was possible block evasion alongside the main reason for blocking. I've changed the duration and blocking reason; if anything, this account is definitely a VOA. Thanks for the heads up and for the message. If you have any more questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:15, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

William Scott athlete

Hi

It seems that all my edits to William Scott, athlete, have been reverted. How can his date of death not be relevant?

Kind regards,

Cheshire Sandy Cheshiresandy (talk) 00:22, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Cheshiresandy! Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns. The issue isn't that the article subject's death isn't relevant - the death of the person obviously is relevant. The issue was in regards to the references and reliable sources cited to verify the changes you were making (in this case, you didn't provide any reference at all). Do you have any references to reliable sources that verify the content you're adding is true? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:26, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

It is not possible to "verify" the date of death as it does not appear anywhere online. This is why I am contributing it to Wikipedia. What reliable sources would you suggest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheshiresandy (talk • contribs) 00:33, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Cheshiresandy - See Wikipedia's guidelines on identifying reliable sources, is it will fully answer your question and provide good examples and tools to help you. If you have any questions about the guideline, please don't hesitate to respond to me with them here. I'll be more than happy to answer your questions and help you.
