For you

El C, contrary to your edit summary- I noticed you were gone, and missed seeing you on recent changes. You are one of my favourite editors. This is for you. Regards, dvdrw 04:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Yay! Many chipthanks for the kind words. Greatly appreciated. Best, El_C 06:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sort of in a hole and am having difficulties submerging. Speaking of holes/that chippie, I got to do some visiting in its burro recently...

Later, adding even more festive decorations, and inspected the whiskers:

And some drinky-drinky as well as rubbing under chin:

Also, two days ago I got to rub a cheekadee's tummy(!); for a handsome reward, of course:

You look really good in your purple hat! Bishonen | talk 00:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC).

Free hat! Today, while cheekadeepetting, this lady who saw us from a far, came over and said: "Can I tell you something...? You're an angel of God."(!) To which I of course replied: "All hail Atheismo!" [nah, I said: "thank you, maddam, that's very kind of you" — what else could I say?] I took an especially neat cheekadeepetting photograph today: it remained visible between my thumb and index as it flew away, giving the illusion it was bee-sized! What an unexpected, and sweet, effect! El_C 02:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Chippies

El C, I've been meaning to ask for ages. What is the link between revolutionary socialism and chimpunks? Did I miss that bit in Animal Farm? Is it something to do with resting the means of damn making from beavers? --Joopercoopers (talk) 11:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

No link; but are you referring to Groundhog? (see left) There is a Groundhog-Chippie connection, which I was trying to further cultivate (see right). El_C 11:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Nasty personal attacks in need of revdel

An IP editor (70.235.158.228) you blocked has made some extremely nasty personal attacks and has threatened to out editors. Most, if not all, of their contributions probably should be revdelled under RD2. If you can help, that would be great. – Teratix ₵ 01:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Your 3RR block on 46.211.8.191

Hi El C! I'm just letting you know that I've unblocked this IP (a procedural unblock only) because it's part of a range (46.211.0.0/16) that I've just blocked for two weeks due to IP hopping vandalism, disruption, and other abuse. There's little doubt in my mind that this situation is related to the others - take a look at the range contributions and you'll probably agree. ;-) If you have any questions, concerns, objections, or input regarding this range block and what I did - please let me know (ping me in your response here) and I'll be happy to discuss it with you. I doubt that you'll have issue with what I did, but I figured I'd let you know just in case. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:17, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Bro, please read this page thoroughly. It's being edited every day. Very many uncited and misleading claims exist in the article. It's heavily biased in favour of a particular faction. Chippy pest (talk) 13:40, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Sudan

Hi Reuters confirms the news. --Panam2014 (talk) 08:14, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Not sure a provincial govt. minister counts as a reliable source for us. Best to wait for the official announcement and its confirmation by mainstream sources. El_C 08:17, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Reuters is reliable, so if Reuters decided to cite him, his claim became reliable. --Panam2014 (talk) 08:20, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

They are being more cautious than you about it. Sorry, you're gonna have to wait at least an hour. El_C 08:21, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

In this case, we could write "Sudan's Bashir steps down, government sources say". --Panam2014 (talk) 08:31, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

We are an encyclopedia not a newspaper. El_C 08:32, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Doing it is not writing a newspaper because the sources who relayed the info are reliables. The information is relayed by lots of sources. --Panam2014 (talk) 08:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

We wait for official statements, as confirmed by mainstream sources. El_C 08:35, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

It is not enough if we add the fact that it is the claim of sources quoted by Reuters. I think we should ask for others opinions. --Panam2014 (talk) 08:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

That's what the article talk page is for. But an hour break from editing the article seems rather mild to me. El_C 08:42, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Blocks

I noticed you've been doing very long blocks on dynamic IP addresses, frequently set as a hard block ("Prevent logged-in users from editing from this IP address" set). I also noticed that you marked one of your blocks as a checkuser block – Special:Contributions/84.1.247.135. I assume that was an accident, but only checkusers should mark blocks as checkuser blocks – there are special rules for these blocks, making them harder to appeal. Also, non-checkusers probably shouldn't do hard blocks unless they're blocking something like an open proxy. There's no way for non-checkusers to ascertain the collateral damage. Generally, if you want to do a hard block on a non-proxy, I think it's best to ask a checkuser to see if there's collateral damage. If you see someone evading a block from a mobile network operator, you should definitely not do a hard block, and you should probably keep the block length short, like 24–48 hours. Blocking these IP addresses for 3 months will likely cause many random internet users in the same general geolocation to be unable to edit. If you're blocking these IP addresses because they're proxies, you should label them with {{blocked proxy}}. Proxies, webhosts, and stuff like that can be hard blocked for months (or even years), but they should be properly labeled so that people know how to appeal (for example, {{Colocationwebhost}} gives advice on what to information to provide in the unblock request). I apologize for coming across with an attitude like "hey, only checkusers can do that!", but hard blocks can sometimes cause lots of problems for innocent users. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:32, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try to be more mindful of this. El_C 01:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Regarding new article Cow vigilante violence in India

I had created the article Cow vigilante violence in India. As far as my knowledge of rules goes, redirecting a new article is deletion, and that must be done via WP:AFD. But two users are redirecting without consensus. He even reported me as edit warrring to the administrator notice board, which was found as no violation by you [2]. I have mentioned my view on the talk page, but others are not replying anything to it. They just want to merge it to subset of the subject, that is violence after the year 2014. Is consensus required to create a page, or is it required to delete a page? Please let me know. Soarwakes (talk) 08:59, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Consensus is not required to create an article, but it is required for deletion. Redirection is not deletion, however. I fully protected the page to end the chronic edit war, so I suggest you and the various participants (and perhaps others editors via a Request for comment) try reach consensus on the article talk page.

Unfair Deletion of the Content

Hello, As per my understanding you have done the unfair deletion of the content from the Page using "Placement is too promotional". If the content is present in the following wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnyaneshwar , how this can be removed. It has been written what Samadhi means and the same was added to the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation. Kindly review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winchetan (talk • contribs)

Why was Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election changed to "pending reviews" status?

Hello,

I was curious was to why you applied pending changes to the page? The page is not even a day old and users need to be able to add new information as it comes out without being contested. I find it excessive to apply pending changes so soon. Users can revert content when they see fit, of course appropriately. Thank you. Aviartm (talk) 01:38, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

See WP:RFPP#Report_On_The_Investigation_Into_Russian_Interference_In_The_2016_Presidential_Election. Disruption has already began, and I'm not sure I see the harm of pending changes being attached to the article, even at this early stage. El_C 01:47, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

I see that put for a whole year? And as the user who asked for Pending Changes, it was IP users who were doing the disrupting. Why not WP:SEMI protect? That would've and is the perfect page protection needed instead of a whole year of slowing down updates to the page whilst thwarting IP users disrupting the page. Aviartm (talk) 01:57, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

There wasn't enough disruption to warrant semiprotection, I felt. But as mentioned on the article talk page, I'm more than willing to reconsider if there are further objections. El_C 02:04, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Alright. Let's continue talking over there but don't you think that WP:SEMI is less severe than pending changes? Aviartm (talk) 02:14, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Let's. But no, I do not. Quite the contrary. Since it still allows nonconfirmed users to submit edits — it's just that those edits then need to be approved by confirmed users. Whereas semi wholly excludes nonconfirmed users from making edits. El_C 02:17, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
