Donguz Formation

Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Japan

Hi Ymblanter, in case you want to help: The Historic Sites of Japan need to be converted to use {{NHS Japan header}} and {{NHS Japan row}}. For now only the national part. I did a couple as examples. Multichill (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello; Is it possible to do any conversion by ?bot? as seems to have been done for these Chinese ones? The format of the Japanese lists is intended to be internally similar, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I guess this is more a question to @Multichill: than to me, but I guess if it were he would do the conversion himself without asking me. Let us wait what he answers. If the conversion is not possible, I volunteer to do at least some of the manual conversion (one-two lists per day).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I tried converting with a bot, but didn't manage to do it without too much mess so I abandoned that. Multichill (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning up the Belarus geographical mess

I'm getting unstuck in trying to compile a table of terminology for the Belarus geographical naming conventions. There appears to be a flood of new articles and stubs recently and it appears that English Wikipedia is now leading the way with transliteration/transcription norms (which, as we know, simply isn't Wikipedia's role). As the contributors don't seem to know what to do other than follow the current directives, we're ending up with orphaned pages and broken links absolutely everywhere.

My thoughts are to follow the Belarusian government standards for the English speaking world (which DON'T involve the irritating version of what is essentially Latinka), i.e. as laid out per this map and other official sites. What's good enough for the Belarus government should be good enough for us.

You can check the sad beginnings in my sandbox. Any constructive input from sensible Wikipedians would be appreciated.

I've left this message on Ezhiki and TaalVerbeteraar's pages as well. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

The beginning seems reasonable, thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Draft:Nikolay Antipov

Hi Ymblanter. Draft:Nikolay Antipov was on the verge of G13 deletion, but the man is obviously notable. It looks like a machine translation of ru:Антипов, Николай Кириллович. I have added a few English language book citations, would copy-editing be an easy task for you? Thanks, Sam Sailor 18:28, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me, I will be slowly working on the draft.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Great, thank you. Sam Sailor 18:46, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Protection of Airbnb

I know that obviously the section Airbnb#Delisting of West Bank settlements is under WP:ARBPIA restrictions; but is the whole page really "reasonably" construed (which is stricter than broadly construed) to be related to the conflict? Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:05, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

OTOH looking at that edit history the protection does seem warranted at-least until the issue dies down. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:11, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, we do not have a section protection so that I had no choice (except of course passing it to another admin - I just saw it on RFPP). I am not happy with the situation myself, but I do not see how we can solve it without going to ArbCom or splitting the article (and then I doubt that the West Bank incident is worth of a separate article).--Ymblanter (talk) 17:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Since not all ECP protection has to be through the automatic ArbCom restrictions, maybe you can protect it ECP for 3-6 months? By then hopefully the dispute will die down, and that is better than protecting it indefinitely. Or you can see if semi-protection staves off most of the disruption and edit warring. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:26, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

This is arbitration enforcement and has been logged as such (and the request was to protect the article because of ARBPIA). I am not sure I can now so easily remove or lower the protection. I do not think we have a mechanism of lowering ARBPIA protections.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:30, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, what I'm saying is that: the ARBPIA protections only automatically apply to pages that are "reasonably construed" to be related to the conflict. If you agree with me that the Airbnb page is not reasonably construed, (though it may be broadly construed to be related to the conflict) then we are free to apply whatever protection for whatever length as is appropriate. Am I making any sense? :) Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:36, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, you are right, I checked the decision again, and it says "reasonably construed", not "broadly construed". Indeed, we can try to lower protection in 6 months to semi and see what happens. I will most certainly forget about it in 6 month and will appreciate a ping if possible.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:45, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Okay, thanks; I put a reminder in my calendar :) Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:50, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Great, thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:48, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Global renamer

Would you consider applying? We could use another active Russian speaker. Something we’ve been working on is getting people not to handle as many requests from languages they aren’t familiar with and this has lead to a small backlog from some wikis. I know you aren’t active on ru.wikipedia now, but being able to read the requests on meta and figure out if it’s within policy would be incredibly helpful. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni:, do you have any idea how much time investmet this could be? I am operating close to the upper level limit of my abilities, and if it is enough to check some page once per day and react to pings, I could still do it, but continuously monitoring a page would probably be too much.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:06, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

I think that’d be the most, and checking once every few days would even be helpful. It’s a volunteer project and getting more volunteers from different language groups is always a plus. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Airbnb

You extended-confirm protected this article as an Arab-Israeli conflict article. Did you make a mistake? It's a US-based website used by people engaged in short-term renting. Nyttend (talk) 23:57, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I know what airbnb is. There was an edit-warring concerning one of their Palestinian locations, and at the time it was reasonable to ec protect it (I was responding to an RFPP request). Afterwards, I discussed the topic with Galobtter at this page, and we decided it would be reasonable to unprotect after half a year.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:05, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I've asked Arbcom for a little clarification here. I don't think everything with tiny Israel-Palestine coverage should count (it seems a bit extreme to consider Sea level related, merely because File:Israel Sea Level BW 1.JPG appears near the top), so at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment I said basically "Ymblanter and I interpret things differently, so would you please tell us which of us is holding the interpretation you intended". As I said there, This is not some sort of complaint/argument/etc. Just trying to get an authoritative statement on this decision's scope. Please let me know if I've said anything that can be interpreted as hostile, because I'm not unhappy and don't intend anything to sound as if I am. Nyttend (talk) 01:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

No, this is fine, thanks for opening this. I will respond there.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:34, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Sock edits

Ymblanter, thanks for the quick work on what appears to be yet another HughD sock here [[1]] Recently I suspect the same sock was active here. Would you please consider removing the comments. I tried but editors unfamiliar with HughD objected. [[2]], [[3]]. Thanks, Springee (talk) 15:31, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

 Done--Ymblanter (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Dubious edits

Hi, here's an IP editor POV pushing and reverting, without edit summaries. It's a range: 2a02:8108:4dc0:27fc:b099:4157:db37:4218/52. You've reverted them once with the summary "???" so hopefully you understand the issue here. They may or may not be a sock. wumbolo ^^^ 08:47, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes, this is a sock. Every edit who makes edits exclusively to change Northern Kurdish language to Ezidi language, or Kurdish to Yezidi, is a sock (who I believe only used IPs, but I might be wring). I reverted a recent edit, but I am not comfortable applying a range block. The easiest is probably to revert on sight.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:05, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Nomination for Deletion Ally Prisock

Hello,

You reviewed an page of mine so I was wondering if you could help me. My page on Ally Prisock has been nominated for deletion. For the life of me I do not understand why as it is sourced and she is a professional soccer player. How do I get an article that has been flagged as Nomination for deletion to not be deleted?

Cheers

She is not yet a professional player. She becomes notable according to WP:NFOOTY as soon as she plays one game for the Dash.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

User:Boneticore_1081

Hi! Note that both Boneticore_1081 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 98.118.4.223 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) have added the same content to Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden (here and here) and are likely socks. Both seem to also have a bit of a fascination with number articles. Should I report this to SPI? I'm not sure how that works. Isa (talk) 18:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

This is without a doubt the same person, but they have not edited since the block of Boneticore. There is not much we can do about it.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Is it worth requesting a CU to check for other accounts? Isa (talk) 18:35, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

You can indeed open an SPI but given the block is short duration and than they do not check Ips, I think chances are not big.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:45, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Hm. Can't CUs find socks created from the same IP? If I provide them with the account and the IP, can't they check if other accounts were created? This seems to suggest so, but I'm unfamiliar with CU in general. Isa (talk) 18:55, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

I do not think I am more familiar than you, You can try.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:57, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough. I guess I'll wait to see if there's at least a second account. Thanks! Isa (talk) 19:20, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Sure, no problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:21, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks and a belated apology

Hi Ymblanter. Thanks for all your work with page protections, etc. I know we didn't see eye-to-eye last year, and I apologise for everything I said, and anything that may have offended you in any way. I'm not going to make excuses, what was said was said, but I do regret the whole thing. Lets just say it was some off-wiki issues that dragged me down here too. I'm here to build content and do good, and I know you are too. I won't be offended if you don't think I'm being sincere and understand if you remove/revert this. Once again, apologies for what I said - it should not have happened. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:11, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for writing this. My responses sometimes were not ideal either.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:15, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Speedy category moves

2nd-millennium disestablishment in Europe

Hi. regarding 2nd-millennium disestablishment in Europe I wished to sum up the entire millennium of disestablishment in Europe. There is the category Category:2nd-millennium disestablishments in Europe. This video does just that, neatly sums it up in a way that is a million times easier than going through all the sub categories of a millennium. The best place to put it i thought was in a dedicated article for the category. How would you suggest i link it up? I messaged the creator to see if they would link the actual viewo into the article however the best i could do was put a link to this very useful video.

You know, we are not a platform to promote youtube videos. The article had no text, only a link, and this is why I deleted it. You are welcome to recreate the article, but it must conform to our policies, and only after that we can discuss whether the link can be there (my guess is it should not be there, but this is just an opinion of one user).--Ymblanter (talk) 10:38, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Marfa Kryukova

Hello, ymblanter!

I see that we've been editing the page for Marfa Kryukova. You removed my note about copy editing saying it was not needed. I'm curious about this because I definitely see things that aren't ideal grammatical constructions in English. For example, the use of prepositions is off: "interest in Russia to the Northern folklore"; "invited to perform to Arkhangelsk" -- both of these would more commonly be 'in'. There are other passages that I think could be made clearer.

Do you disagree that the grammar could be improved, or do you or someone else plan to update it? If you'd like-- though I'm completely unfamiliar with the subject of the article-- I could work on an update and either publish it, or show it to you first. Jkgree (talk) 17:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Actually, I have written the article. I am surprised to see things like "invited to perform to Arkhangelsk" (I guess it was "invited to Arkhangelsk to perform"), but generally I find it reasonably well written, and I do not think it requires additional effort. If you are planning to copyedit, you are most welcome to do it, but I am not happy to have a maintenance template on an article I have written which would stay there forever.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:07, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

OK. I will work on some updates. It seems that you watch this page, so if you see anything that you disagree with, you can let me know, or just change it. I expect, by the way, that any changes I make would be pretty non-controversial. Jkgree (talk) 19:05, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Absolutely, thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:07, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I have made updates. I included some hidden notes on the page; you may want to look for them and add or change something. Jkgree (talk) 15:24, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I went through the article and dealt with your comments.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Could you just check and AfD

Hi, I was wondering whether you could cast your eye over this AfD please and let me know whether you think my relist rationale is OK. I'm not really sure that I should take any more administrative action, as I wonder whether I might be considered involved. It would be good to get your opinion as someone who has occasional involvement in football AfDs but isn't active in the project and so I think is independent. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 14:41, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

I think relisting is a possible option, but I would say if they want to discuss the players individually let them discuss the players individually. Do you want me to close it as procedural close and renominate all these guys for individual AfDs?--Ymblanter (talk) 15:11, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

If you think that would be for the best I am happy for you to do that. It all seems rather bureaucratic to me, given no one has suggested anything for these players around GNG. I wanted people who had voted for procedural keep on the fear that it would be a chaotic AfD time to reflect given that has deomonstrably not happened, but some people seem to just want to try again for a third time. Probably best to close and reopen to get the proper engagement. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 15:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

I will do this in a moment.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:57, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Template:Z152

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Template:Z83

Draft:Viktor Yelisseyev

• Ymblanter здравствуйте! Кажется, надежда только на вас. Никто так и не посмотрел статью, тема на форуме благополучно ушла в архив нерешенной. Можете выделить немного времени и посмотреть? Вот несколько ссылок, которые показывают значимость: Literaturnaya Gazeta (1), Izvestia (2), Zinziver (3) + 4, 5 and etc. Manager1kz (talk) 17:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Need your help to protect the article.

Please, pay attention to the following article: "Totskoye nuclear exercise". A user whose contributions seem to be biased has removed tons of information from there, hiding every fact that tells us that the exercise did not have disastrous consequences, that "local citizens were offered temporary evacuation", that "experts of the Leningrad Scientific Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene conducted their own radioecological investigation of the area around the blast site", that "in 1994-1995 four Russian and four American experts formed a joint commission for studying the impact of the explosion on the blast site and the surrounding territories" and didn't find anything even remotely apocalyptic there, etc, etc, etc. He also removed the memoirs of those veterans who participated in the exercise, leaving only what doesn't contradict his own POV.

I highly recommend that you add that page to your watchlist and stop the user from removing extremely important and sourced content in the most inappropriate manner. 213.193.14.55 (talk) 12:49, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Please discuss with the user. My impression is that if anybody is editing disruptively there it is you.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:16, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

I guess you have confused me with some other user, as I have only restored a large portion of the text that was removed along with highly important facts from primary sources. Well, anyway, thanks for the attention, I'll try to discuss with the user. 213.193.14.55 (talk) 14:05, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

"Tons of information" like this: "The degree of radiation exposure on the armored vehicles, clothes and military personnel was measured immediately after every combat mission. According to the data of remote control and measuring equipment installed at 730 meters from the epicenter, the level of radiation reached 65 R/h two minutes after the blast, dropped to 10 R/h after 10 minutes, 2.4 R/h after 25 minutes, and 1.5 R/h after 47 minutes". I think a semiprotection of this page is in order. My very best wishes (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

No, it was just a small portion of the text and even this portion is significant and supported by a RS. 213.193.14.55 (talk) 21:53, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Unprotection

Would you be willing to remove the move protection from File:Jyllands-Posten-pg3-article-in-Sept-30-2005-edition-of-KulturWeekend-entitled-Muhammeds-ansigt.png? As a file, it can only be moved by file movers or admins, and the odds of a file mover not being extended-confirmed are practically 0. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 06:20, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Whereas it is technically possible to have a lower level move protection than the edit protection, I do not think we have a single page here with this protection configuration, and this would also be a very odd thing to do. If you think this is a real problem it probably needs to be discussed in a more general setting on a village pump.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:04, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: the actual move protection wouldn't decrease - you still need file mover rights. Also, it is also a very odd thing to extended-confirmed protect a file - its the only page in the entire namespace that has extended-confirmed move (or edit) protection. Anyway, its not a big deal, just wondering. --DannyS712 (talk) 07:11, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Sure, I see your point, I just think that this is a more general issue worth to be discussed at a village pump.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:13, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

ARCA categories

Hi Ymblanter. You recently added the following to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working:

• Category:ARCA Racing Series to Category:ARCA Menards Series
  • Category:ARCA Racing Series seasons to Category:ARCA Menards Series seasons
  • Category:ARCA Racing Series drivers to Category:ARCA Menards Series drivers
  • Category:ARCA Racing Series teams to Category:ARCA Menards Series teams
  • Category:ARCA Racing Series tracks to Category ARCA Menards Series tracks
  • Category:ARCA Racing Series races to Category:ARCA Menards Series races

Cydebot has moved the articles in all the categories except Category:ARCA Racing Series tracks. Do you know why? (Is it because Category ARCA Menards Series tracks doesn't exist?). Note that I'm asking you because User talk:Cydebot suggests asking questions about category changes to the editor who added the categories to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 10:38, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

No, I do not have any ideas and generally regard the bot's work as random process (though I am indeed surprised they did not move the category). I will look into it, presumably some manual work needs to be done.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:43, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Russia's "official" religions

Since you undid my edit please provide an authoritative Russian Federation government citation to confirm your point that Russia has only four official religions. A citation from a author's book may correctly reflect that author's statement but be incorrect with regard to the actual official position and legislation of the Russian Federation. I would think that Wikipedia would prefer factual information.Moryak (talk) 18:12, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Question

User:Ymblanter, Hi. This past Sunday, I visited the Hebrew University library in Jerusalem to do more research on the Roman-era village, Kefar Hananya. I realize that I am under a topic ban in the I/A area, which topic ban I am willing to abide-by, without incident (until I am able to appeal the topic ban later this year), but I wish to know if the topic ban applies to adding archaeological information about the site (without discussing or engaging in matters related to the Israeli-Arab conflict), even though the article has a history related to that conflict. If I can remember correctly, there was once a discussion on one of the Boards where the question was asked about making an edit that was not connected or related in any way or form to the area of the topic ban, and someone there voiced his opinion that this was Okay. I may be mistaken, however, so this is why I am asking you. Of course, if I am permitted to add this archaeological information (data), I will not interject in those matters wherein, previously, other editors had objected to their inclusion.Davidbena (talk) 01:08, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

I would say this material is related to the conflict broadly construed but not reasonably construed, so that should be compare to the formulation of the topic ban. If it is still unclear, or if you disagree with me, the safest way would be to ask at the ArbCom talk page (and start a clarification request if the matter proves to be more complicated).--Ymblanter (talk) 05:23, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Okay. I'll just wait patiently, when I have been allowed again to edit those pages. Be well.Davidbena (talk) 12:06, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Jewish collaborators with Nazi Germany (occupied Poland)

They were all Jewish by nationality and had Polish citizenship. The infobox person description [10] clearly states that you can add a citizenship section where nationality and citizenship are different. Mathiasrex (talk) 13:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Again, there is an ANI discussion of this topic (with btw converges to an opposite conclusion), and your sudden apperarance in this topic right now, aftr a month of your inactivity and immediately after I have extended-conformed protected one of the articles, can not be coincidental. If you want your opinion hears, you should not be acting as a sock.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:04, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, what brought you to these articles, and why post on my Talk page about this? Jayjg ^(talk) 14:07, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

I will not insist, especially since the state of Israel did not exist then. Mathiasrex (talk) 14:12, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Insist on what? If you are indeed a sock, your account must be blocked since it was used to edit a protected article the original accounts has no access to.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:14, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

insist my statements in discussion page, not in wiki main Mathiasrex (talk) 14:23, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Insist on what exactly? And what brought you here to edit those specific pages? Jayjg ^(talk) 14:35, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Ymblanter, in light of your statement at ArbCom Case request [11], which concerns mostly myself and Icewhiz, I feel it necessary to point out that 1) I have never edited the article on Chaim Rumkowski and 2) at the ANI you reference I supported Jayjg's contention that this stuff doesn't belong in the lede (or the infobox for that matter). This is some other crap I am not involved in, don't care much about (I kind of despise infoboxes anyway), and it just happens to be in the same topic area.Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:51, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

This is fine, I do not think I ever said you are involved in this particular crap. I do not even know who is involved there.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Oleksiy Poroshenko

IIRC, although Russian is your native tongue, you are not fluent in Ukrainian. The above article needs a lot of work, and many of the sources are Ukrainian. I've been doing some clean-up, but I have to guess at a lot of things because I can't read the sources. Also, I suspect there is far too much non-noteworthy material (the article reads like a resume of every single thing he ever did), but again I'm not confident in my ability to make the best decisions. Assuming you don't want to, or don't feel able to, tackle editing the article, do you know of someone who could? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:45, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

I would be willing to help, but realistically I do not have much time right now (real-life issues, I can be constantly doing easy maintenance work which does not require much reflection, but finding a slot for 30 minutes work on one subject is difficult), and also I am not as familiar with Ukrainian media (in the first approximation, most of them are just blog platforms as they only publish opinion pieces, but beyond that I know very little). I hope Iryna Harpy or Yuliya Romero might be interested. If something straightforward would be needed, such as checking a specific source (even if it is in Ukrainian) or translating a piece of text, I can do it as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:52, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately due to (also) real-life issues I am not as active on Wikipedia as I used to be (as you can check here). And.. when I edit these days I do it stylistically at the absolute minimum necessary level... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 22:45, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Yesterday, you blocked User:96.231.110.11 after I asked for help at ANI because he or she is stalking my edits and reverting them with no discussion.

RT (TV network)

Why did you come after me but you didn't warn Galassi? R2 (bleep) 19:56, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Because they were reverting to the established version, while you were edit-warring to add your edit. Per WP:BRD, you should have stopped after their first revert. I however included them into the ANI report.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't think your chronology is accurate, but at least I understand your reasoning, thanks. In any case, could you please fix a small but confusing typo in your ANI report? You said I called your warnings "treats," when in fact I used the word "threats." R2 (bleep) 20:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Sure, no problem, will do now.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:19, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again. I went back through the archives of Talk:RT (TV network) and was surprised to find that, contrary to your representations at ANI, you are strikingly involved in the development of that article, and in particular in the closely related question of whether RT should be considered propaganda or disinformation. Now, what I find most disconcerting about your conduct today is that there has been an RfC pending on that on that exact issue, yet you chose to come after me instead of participating in the RfC. Why? R2 (bleep) 23:52, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Again, I have no interest in content in this case. You are always try to drag me into content issues. The only thing I am interested in for this article is to make sure there is no disruption (meaning policies have been observed etc). Unfortunately the topic has a high potential for disruption, and in the past it was edited by so-called Russian propaganda trolls (IP users or editors whose salary was paid by Russian government). I do not see why I should be participating in RfC, and I a not trying to push my political views here. (Btw our dispute does not have ny relation to my political views here, I have no opinion on how many times RT was caught on disinformation, I just know that this is not a subject one should edit-war over).--Ymblanter (talk) 05:29, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

That is totally inconsistent with your participation in the article since at least 2014. I think some honesty is in order here. R2 (bleep) 17:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

I am honest, and it is not up to you to make such accusations against me. Additionally, you repeatedly asked me to fuck off, I fucked off, but you apparently can not stop posting here. Why do not you check all my 140 000 edits and make a report? Additionally, you were told by ALL USERS WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTION who had to say something that your behavior is not ok in this episode, and you continue insisting it is ok. May be it is time for self-reflection for you? So far you clearly demonstrate a complete lack of clue.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:43, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

I was hoping for some degree of reconciliation with you, but I guess I didn't approach that very effectively. I'm sorry for that. I guess we just see many conduct issues very differently. R2 (bleep) 17:58, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

New editor's suspicious edits at Kuril Islands-related articles

Hi Ymblanter. Just wanted to bring your attention to User:Ineedtostopforgetting's recent edits, like this or this. Essentially he is Japanizing all articles about Kuril Islands, including article moves to Japanese names. Can you please have a look at it? Thanks. - Darwinek (talk) 23:23, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Darwinek, What exactly is 'suspicious' about my edits? I was correcting grammartical errors, adding in native names and new information about the region. In general, the articles weren't well-kept. Also, why did you not approach me directly on my talk page to clarify more about it so that we could possibly come to a consensus? Are you trying to vilify me by approaching another admin? Non-admins can't edit articles without being questioned now? - Ineedtostopforgetting (talk) 04:25, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

I see indeed POV and not maintenance, and I am going to block your account if you do not stop. In the meanwhile, I will be reverting your edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:43, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Have you actually bothered to look at my edits though? How exactly is changing the correct capital of Hokkaido from 'Tokyo' to 'Sapporo', adding the flags of the 2 nations (Russia & Japan), adding the term Island to Shikotan to correspond with the Kunashiri Island article, adding the native name of the stratovolcanoes/mountains located on the islands 'POV'? - Ineedtostopforgetting (talk) 08:27, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Sure I did. If you do not understand for example why this edit is problematic, you should not be editing Wikipedia.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:32, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

If you found some of my edits an issue with you, you could have reverted that and explain the reasons as to why, so I could better understand it. But you probably decided that was too much work for you. Instead, you decided to revert the entire edit outright, reverse all the work, and threaten to block me. So much for assuming good faith. - Ineedtostopforgetting (talk) 08:45, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Would you please stop playing an idiot? Kunashir is located in Russia. All countries except Japan recognize this, and therefore the principal names of localities and geographic features located on Kuril Islands are taken from Russian, not from Japanese. Moving articles from Russian names to Japanese names is disruption. (Japanese names were already in the articles, for the record). Adding info about smth currently located in "Kunashiri, Japan" is disruption. You perfectly know this. If you do it once again, I will block your account. Is this sufficiently clear?--Ymblanter (talk) 08:51, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Portal:Mathematics

No unregistered editor really has a reason to edit a portal anyway, since portals are rather complicated. The vandal will now vandalize either other portals or other math articles, and subsequent admins will have to decide whether to use more semi-protection or range blocks. Oh well. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:53, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

I apologize but I possibly do not get your point. The portal was semi-protected since 2010, and the protection was lifted in March 2019 with the comment that it is not needed anymore. The vandal proved that it is needed, and I reprotected it again indefinitely, on your request. Are you saying that I should have not done it, or that I should also look at other portals / nath articles the vandal can potentially be interested in?--Ymblanter (talk) 03:54, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

WP:AGF at Talk:Western African Ebola virus epidemic

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Thank you. There is already a discussion on the talk page (in which there is no consensus to remove the flags); your report at WP:RFPP appears like a blatant assumption of bad faith (have you looked at the discussion???); reverts were to status quo as the page was before removal by User:Bondegezou (have you looked at the page history???). Filing a report at WP:RFPP and then going on to revert an editor which you disagree with and have managed to lock out of any editing seems really improper. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 18:06, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I actually looked at the discussion and I see that you are the only editor arguing for the flags. I do not particularly care whether flags are there or not, I am administrator, and my interest here is to stop the edit-warring. However, you were given a policy-based reason why the flags should not be there, and to restore them you would probably need to do a better job than just say "I am tired to repeat my arguments".--Ymblanter (talk) 18:11, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Tell that to User:Ozzie10aaaa. The only other editor I was "arguing with" was User:Bondegezou, who originally removed flags. I have also given policy based reasons why the flags SHOULD be there (and why MOS:INFOBOXFLAG is not the only policy which applies), and the arguments have been made also at Template talk:Infobox election where it is User:Bondegezou who is the only one "arguing" AGAINST (User:Ralbegen has also made a short comment) flags while User:Impru20, User:Number 57, User:Heb the best, User:Carter, have expressed their opinions. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 18:18, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Accusations of sockpuppetry (grounded in which reasoning?) and of IP hopping (while I have had the same IP for a long time) are also not what I would expect from an admin. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure why Infobox:Election should have any relation to the article about an epidemic. However, I am in principle fine with these arguments, of both sides. What I am not really fine with is that you make an argument, declare the discussion finished, go to the article and revert to your preferred version. We have certain policies which definitely apply to this case and which say why this behavior is not acceptable, do I need to cite them? Open an RfC and wait until it gets summarized either way, or, at the very least, wait for several days (well, now you will have to wait for a week) and see that no new arguments are forthcoming, announce that you are going to readd the flags, and then, if there is indeed no consensus, nobody would contest this.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:23, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

See the first comment I made on the Ebola page for why the discussions are related (in short, User:Bondegezou started massively removing flags from many articles citing INFOBOXFLAG). I am not reverting to "my preferred version" (and yes I am aware of m:The Wrong Version), I am reverting to status quo (which is, to my understanding, what should be done unless there is consensus to change, which User:Bondegezou definitively failed to obtain on talk page (in fact, he has made the exact same points on both pages in what seems like a case of WP:IDHT, per another user, see this and compare with this). 107.190.33.254 (talk) 18:30, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I have indeed heard your argument that this was a long-standing version. However, if there are serious arguments that it is not the version compliant with the policy, these arguments have to be considered. I happened to notice this edit-warring, I have not seen other discussions you are referring to. I have never heard of Bondegezou until yesterday and I have no idea who they are, but if you think they massively disrupt Wikipedia by editing against consensus, you should report them to ANI.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:35, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

As I said, those arguments have been discussed on the respective talk pages and have failed to gain traction (in other words, MOS:INFOBOXFLAG is just a guideline and the editors I mentioned previously do seem to think that this is a situation where applying it as though it had force of law is not warranted.) 107.190.33.254 (talk) 18:38, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I know that this is your opinion. Please now use it to convince your opponent, or, if this is not possible, to bring it to some way of dispute resolution. Edit-warring is not an acceptable dispute resolution avenue.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:42, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

That has already been attempted (on the two relevant talk pages), but the "opponent" (if use of that term is acceptable despite a certain policy) seems to be exhibiting WP:IDHT as I think has been demonstrated by the diffs of talk page contributions - despite the intervention of other editors in disputing the "opponent's" reliance on the letter and not the spirit of the "law". Which is why I feel ok reverting said editor who tried to reinstate their change on multiple articles without gaining consensus for their change and was violating WP:STATUSQUO which indicates that "During a dispute discussion, until a consensus is established, you should not revert away from the status quo". 107.190.33.254 (talk) 18:51, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

As I already said, if you think the behavior of your opponent is disruptive you should have reported them at ANI. You can still do it, and if your representation of the situation is correct, you will have flags restored much sooner than in a week. Concerning WP:STATUSQUO, may I please remind you that this is an essay. If there is a policy argument why the old version is not acceptable one does not have to revert to that version.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:57, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I'd rather avoid WP:Dramaboard because that is not constructive and usually leads to more bitter complaining by everybody involved. So an RfC should solve the matter (content-wise, for disruptive editing I'll see elsewhere)? 107.190.33.254 (talk) 19:01, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

RfC must definitely do the job, though it is a bit slow.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:12, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Suspicious editing

On Margaret of Valois a new user, Chevalier d'Éon, first added unsourced information[14], then attempted to use Wellman's book Queens and Mistresses of Renaissance France to readd this information(which was not in the book) and then finally uses an obscure unviewable book to readd the information for a third time.

I find this quite suspicious given the first attempt was unsourced and the second attempt was falsifying information from the source. At no time did this editor go to the talk page and post a quote with a page number to verify this information, as I had asked.

Your thoughts? --Kansas Bear (talk) 15:34, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

It does not look an obvious sock to me, and it might be an it.wiki user who is new here, so I would say try the talk page first, and see whether they are responsive.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:24, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. In this case, the issue must be discussed at the talk page of the article. Reverting several dozen times in a day on the basis "I do not like this picture" is not a valid dispute resolution avenue.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:26, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Explain your last edit on this page. I used a reliable source, Encyclopædia Britannica, which describe him as "Ukrainian-born Russian painter".--KHMELNYTSKYIA (talk) 09:27, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

As you perfectly know, Ukraine did not exist at the time, and he can not be Ukrainian-born. He was born in the Russian Empire. Specifically for Repin, the question has been discussed multiple times, and, as far as I remember, the article was even protected for a while. Concerning other persons, I asked a question at MOS talk page, I hope somebody will point me out to more relevant discussions.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:36, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Of course, Ukraine did not exist as an independent state. But Ukraine existed as a country and there was a separate Ukrainian nation. Britannica is not a marginal source to Wikipedia editors rejected it. I do not insist on this case, but I think my other edits are correct.--KHMELNYTSKYIA (talk) 09:48, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Bad deletion rationale

09:25, 27 July 2019 Ymblanter deleted page Talk:Bonin Islands/Archive 1 (G7: One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page)

This is an invalid rationale... you were not "the author" of the talk page archive. You should have left the redirect behind after moving the page. – wbm1058 (talk) 16:31, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

It is perfectly my right to delete an absolutely useless redirect I myself created a minute prior to deletion which nobody else edited.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:41, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

From WP:Criteria for speedy deletion: This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move

References

Note in the deleted history SS49 started a new archive (a fork of the existing archive), which likely would have been prevented had the redirect been left behind. The archive hadn't been moved back when your move was reversed, until I just did it. wbm1058 (talk) 16:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I still believe talk page redirects are useless (and people should move archives when moving the articles), but I have better use of my time than nominating every such redirect for MfD, so I will just stop deleting them. There are so many things in Wikipedia I disagree with, I can survive having one more.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:12, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

I sympathize and understand the annoyance with the need for managing talk page redirects. But they are not completely useless. Category:Unsynchronized talk page redirects is populated by {{R from move}} which is placed on talk page redirects left behind after moves. You might be surprised at how often an article is moved without its talk, much less talk archives. I patrol this category and resync several talk pages with their articles every week. If those talk page redirects had been deleted, then these unsynced talk pages wouldn't be detected by {{R from move}}. This is a sort of kludgey workaround for limitations of the MediaWiki software, and it would be nice if the software didn't allow these unsynched talk pages to exist in the first place. wbm1058 (talk) 18:20, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Indeed, ideally, redirects from move should not have talk pages, but we do not live in the ideal world.--Ymblanter (talk) 02:30, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Possible HughD sock

Ymblanter, For what it's worth I suspect this IP editor is another HughD sock. It's a Chicago based AT&T IP. It's also odd that their only edits are in two very unrelated areas I'm currently involved with, firearms and LBGT rights. In this case the IP editor added some LBGT related information to a republican representative's page. I've never worked on that article specifically but the coincidence just struck me. The editor's edits in the area of guns looks like typical HughD. Rather detailed and methodical edit summaries, a bit of overselling sources or quoting damning lines vs just summarizing. Anyway, I've seen enough HughD socks that this one peaked my radar. [[16]] Springee (talk) 17:47, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the report. Whereas it is likely that this is HughD evading the block, I am hesitant to block. If disruption continues, the best route might be to file an SPI, though CUs usually avoid identifying IPs of blocked users.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Your Semi protect for Brian Blair

No where does it say on [[WP:PW/RS] the reference I have provided on Brian Blair can't be used. The source is valid and is from not only an Official site but also the company who runs the official site. No where have I been provided anything that says it can't be used. Please see for yourself this is a valid video that backs up the retirement of the person the article is about and when it happened which can be seen here. I have referenced nothing that is unsourced or poorly sourced and was targeted as an IP and I believe that 100% as this user has done it to me before over the last 5 years but when a confirmed user posts the exact same reference he does nothing and leaves it and has now gotten the article semi protected so he can once again remove the reference and take ownership of the article. When something vaild is shown to me that says it cant be refrenced then I wont add it but the user has failed to do so pointing me to an article that has NEVER said it cant be used and I have seen used in the past on other articles. User has now reverted the edits yet again for the 4th or 5th time and now says its per [WP:EL] which also does not say a post from Facebook cant be used.2601:805:8205:7E0A:901F:10F8:CFDB:D528 (talk) 10:58, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Please discuss this at the talk page of the article and try to convince your opponents.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:10, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

There is only one opponent who has now reverted the article for the 5th time who I tried talking to on their talk page who in turn because they knew they were wrong filed a false claim of unsourced references and got you to lock the page from IPs so he could do as he wished after he violated 3rr and edit warred with me with no valid reason to remove the content. If I had a user name this wouldn't have happened but because I'm an IP user and have been for the last 5 years now I get locked out and he gets ownership of the article and no punishment for violating 3RR and editing warring, Must be another Admin in his pocket like has happened before when he has pulled this crap and then let the content stay because a confirmed user posted it and not an IP. This is why IP users and new users are afraid to edit here because Users are allowed to do this crap and Admins allow it. 2601:805:8205:7E0A:901F:10F8:CFDB:D528 (talk) 11:23, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Eurovision Asia Song Contest 2019

A tag has been placed on Category:Eurovision Asia Song Contest 2019 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

Parabel (rural locality) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Parabel (rural locality), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).

Kyiv vs Kiev

Are you sure Kiev is English? Can you provide any proves?

Kyiv is the right version as decided by UNCSGN (United Nations Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names) and UNGEGN (United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names) ."Kiev" is in Russian. AltRNative (talk) 21:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I am really amazed at how people seriously think that we have such a grave mistake on a world's fifth most popular website for 20 years, in every article, and nobody noticed this yet. In fact, we have a dedicated page, Talk:Kiev/Naming, with all discussions collected there over many years. Your argument has been also addressed there multiple times.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:24, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Help needed at CopyPatrol

Hi, and thank you for your work on copyright issues. Lately I have run into a serious problem: I have been doing an extremely high proportion of the reviewing of the listings at CopyPatrol, having done 50 to 75 reviews daily for the last few weeks. It's not realistic to think that I can keep this up indefinitely, as it consumes many hours each day, and it's not good for me to spend so much time in front of the computer. And if for some reason I become unavailable the results will be dire. What I'm hoping to do is recruit a small group of experienced users who visit Copypatrol daily and clear 5 to 10 cases each, to help spread the burden around a little bit, as well as create a cadre of people who can take over if for some reason I am not able to edit any more. Since you've got some experience in copyright clean-up, I am inviting you to consider visiting the page on a regular basis – even daily, like I do! – and clearing a number of cases. It would be a really big help if you could! Thanks for your time, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:02, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

The Night Before Christmas (1941 film)

 Done, thanks for letting me know--Ymblanter (talk) 06:49, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Good call on protecting this. It is part of long-running edit war between Koavf and others across multiple related articles (also The Midnight Snack, Tom and Jerry: The Mansion Cat). But the stable version of all three was not a redirect, so I think you've protected the "wrong version" here. Koavf blanked-and-redirected The Night Before Christmas (1941 film) on 31 August, it was contested a few days latter, and they have reverted to their preferred version 5 times in the last month. Similar story on the other articles. I've since blocked Koavf for continuing the edit war after being advised by multiple editors to take it to AfD/a talk page and restored the stable versions of the other two. Do you have any objection to me restoring this revision of The Night Before Christmas? – Joe (talk) 07:57, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: The protection has expired, and I do not have any opinion on what is better (though I see indeed that the article was around for several years before edit-warring started in August). If you want to restore it please do it by all means.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Abuse of Wikipedia

Your comment "You are currently edit-warring in Nontrinitarianism, and you edits show that you are not well familiar with Wikipedia policies, in particular on verifiability and reliable sources." demonstrates bias and corruption by you. You are expressing your opinions, not fact, and your opinions are false. They demonstrate an arrogant, smug, and condescending attitude, which is fairly common on Wikipedia. Just because you do not *agree* that something is, in fact, verifiable and reliable doesn't therefore mean that it is not.

You would do well to consider these things. It is perhaps the greatest flaw of Wikipedia that opinion is to be found within almost every page, disguised as "fact" because it is merely repeating the opinions of others shared elsewhere. It's what makes Wikipedia so useless: bias, in every article, and encouraged by people like you, who cite "the rules", but don't actually follow them yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timber72 (talk • contribs) 15:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

your assistance please...

You courtesy deleted User:LauraHale and User talk:LauraHale. I thought that, normally, while an individual could get their main User: page deleted, User talk: pages were normally preserved, so that third parties could understand, and learn from, whatever controversy lead to their departure. Normally aren't user talk pages usually only courtesy blanked?

I don't know anything about User:LauraHale, except I gather that she had a conflict with Fram, some time ago, and, in several fora, Fram's defenders are now saying stuff like, "Oh yeah? What about all the people Laura Hale harrassed?"

Was there something exceptional about her departure?

Was it intentional that her contribution history can't be examined?

If there was something exceptional what kind of summary can you offer? Geo Swan (talk) 16:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

(ec) She vanished during WP:FRAM, and got renamed into a vanished user. The page and the talk page I believe are still available under that new name (which I do not have at hand, but which would not be difficult to find, for example, at the talk page of the recently closed ArbCom case).

Defining community norms of behaviour

I created User:Isaacl/Community/Defining community norms of behaviour after our last discussion on shepherding a discussion on behavioural norms. As I linked to in the opening paragraph on that page, English Wikipedia already has lots of essays on "do this" and "don't do this" behaviour. In previous discussions, a lot of people chip in with "here's a scenario we should cover", but I don't think adding more piecemeal recommendations on behaviour will be much more helpful than the existing mass of guidance pages. Thus my idea is to try to extract common themes from the many different scenarios that have arisen, and then, based on these, draft some behavioural principles.

I'm still occupied with the other set of discussions I wanted to initiate, so am not ready at this moment to assume primary responsibility for shepherding discussion in this area. (Plus, it's not an approach I really feel passionately about.) Are you interested in taking the lead? isaacl (talk) 11:09, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Justin Trudeau

As Bart Simpson says, "Ay, caramba!" As an unbiased (but involved) editor, what appears to have happened at Justin Trudeau is that an editor has puffed it up with biased pro-Trudeau BS the day before the election, and now the article is locked. I trimmed excess puffery a few days ago, but the editor who has been filling this article with pro-Trudeau text added it back. Now, "An publication based on the investigations of 20 respected academics" who praise Trudeau is back and cannot be removed. If this isn't gaming the system. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:42, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

I had a look, but I can not determine to which pre-war version I would need to revert, and reverting to an arbitrary version is not really an option since I can not use my administrator privileges to get involved into edit-warring by editing fully protected article. I would recommend resolving this question at the talk page; if there is consensus please ping me or any other administrator who is online, and the edit can be done very quickly.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:50, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Unbelievable that an editor would make these kinds of accusations. Magnolia you left out major content from the source which you call puffery. I discussed my concerns on the talk page, which you requested, and my edit summaries clearly indicate what I am doing. Yet here you call me sneaky. Perhaps I should have quoted the source which described the academics as renowned, but I didn't I toned it down to "respected". I summarized the important points made in the sources as documented by yes, renowned academics, and I was clear to leave in the positive aspects of Harper's government as well as Trudeau's. Further, how would I have known the article would be protected. Are you accusing me of controlling the protection as well as your other accusations. Your comment that the content from the source are "pro Trudeau BS" when that content is the main focus of the book are both confusing and problematic. How could you miss the main points made by the book. I am an experienced editor who strives to be neutral always. That you see any pro Trudeau content as biased may point tO your own editing. As I said on my page this kind of accusation is anger making. Please retract or at the very least don't make these kind of accusations again for anyone. And by the way I have not "filled" the article with pro Trudeau content. I did with discussion and support remove a few lines which I felt were violations of BLP and Weight. A few lines removed does not equal "filled" a falsehood you are posting as if true. I am ticked off! Littleolive oil (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

As suggested, I have started a discussion on the article's talk page. User:Littleolive oil, could you please comment there? I'd like to reach a consensus and allow the article to be edited again. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:01, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

My position, given what I have recently witnessed, is that the article should stay locked and that the decision should remain in the hands of the admin.Littleolive oil (talk) 19:18, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Given your edit history I was sure you would choose forward. Anyway, thanks Ymblanter for your help and hosting some good banter. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 23:06, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure what choosing "forward" means nor should you think it's possible to understand an editor from their edit history. While I had deliberately stayed away from Canadian politics, to avoid contentious articles, I was very concerned by a wave of editors with clear agendas, often stated, and given those articles fall under BLP or have BLP content I decided to edit on some of those articles, never thinking how convoluted such editing can become. The Andrew Scheer article is pretty well written and quite balanced, the Trudeau leaning articles were not so much that way. I do not like personal attacks; I've had a fill of it myself as an editor, I don't like attacks on our BLP subjects, whomever they are, and I like our articles to adhere as strictly to policy as possible.
