Deletion of Gagan Gupta

You have recently deleted Gagan Gupta citing WP:G11. I don't think this is appropriate. Myself and two other editors disputed the speedy deletion request, and the article's creator edited the article thoroughly to remove bias. They also requested comments and assistance on the article's talk page (which they didn't get). I think this shows that they weren't interested solely in promoting the subject, and were acting in good faith. Furthermore, I recall the article included several notable publications as sources, which establishes a plausible claim of notability. I kindly ask that you restore the article. If you still believe it should be deleted, please submit it to AfD. Thanks.

(Note: this is unrelated to our discussion at Talk:Fabrice Amedeo. I was already involved with both articles prior to that.) --Un assiolo (talk) 18:52, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Gagan Gupta

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Gagan Gupta. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Un assiolo (talk) 19:33, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh.

She began doing it as soon as the partial block was implemented. What a gross willful violation. -- ferret (talk) 21:55, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
  • When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
  • There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Fast on the block trigger on TruthPR?

TruthPR, a new editor was asked if there was a paid or COI situation with the SG article. Minutes later, stated is SG. Minutes after that, you initiated an indefinite block. The editor's editing aside, shouldn't there have been time to provide the standard warning to cease editing until declaring paid, rather than the block? David notMD (talk) 01:18, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD: The indefinite block was the safest course of action here. The account claims to be Scott Gardenhour, which would require a block pending verification to prevent impersonation, additionally the username will need to be changed if the account is confirmed to Scott Gardenhour, it's also incumbent on the user to comply with our Terms of Use when starting to edit, we don't need to provide time for them to comply when they have begun to edit. The block is indefinite, not permanent, there's an unblock request and subject to confirmation via OTRS and a renaming to a username that isn't potentially deceptive to other editors, I'll unblock myself (and I'm happy for others to unblock when those issues are resolved). Nick (talk) 09:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I was just trying to see it from TruthPR's (Scott's?) perspective - a newbie trying to improve an existing article about himself, with the unintended consequence of the article now at AfD, and the block. David notMD (talk) 09:59, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking over BLP

Hi

I feel that you have made incorrect decisions in regards to edits around Alexander Zaytsev (businessman). I do not believe I have violated WP:BLP because the discussion did not suggest anything illegal. Your questions on my talk page indicate moreover that you do not know yourself what was meant by my edits on the talk page. I used the terms "wallet" and "politically exposed person" interchangeably and neither suggest anything illegal. I offered the explanation of "politically exposed person" before you asked for a further explanation but then later pretend not to understand.

Apologies, I seem to have copy+pasted the incorrect url to the discussion. It was not supposed to be a US senate report but a general World Bank report.

Moreover your conduct has not been professional, you gave me little chance to respond to your question, a very short time, and the ban you've meted out is disproportionate to the alleged misconduct.

If you do not respond here to explain your reasoning I will go through an appeal channel. If you (bizarrely) believe that this is too sensitive to be discussed here you can indicate so and I will go through arbcom-en@wikimedia.org. --Jabbi (talk) 21:57, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jabbi: I disagree - the tone and nature of your comments violated BLP and the fact you don't see that or understand it is why I felt I was left with no option but to ban you from editing BLPs for a year. You are, of course, welcome to appeal the sanction via the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard. If/when you appeal, please remember to mention that I was not the only administrator concerned about your editing; Barkeep49 asked you to confirm you would stop making edits in violation of the BLP, a request you are yet to answer, I note. Nick (talk) 22:17, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nick: Those are very ambiguous accusations. I will go through an appeal. I responded to Barkeep49 here, just one more thing you've not understood. Banning should not be done without proper process, you did not discuss what exactly you found problematic until after having banned me. You gave me very short time to respond to your question. Is this your final answer? --Jabbi (talk) 22:24, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jabbi: My final answer is that you're welcome to appeal the BLP topic ban. Nick (talk) 22:34, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nick: I would thank you but I don't think you've done anything useful here. --Jabbi (talk) 00:01, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why my rights were removed ?

Dear Nick, it was very painful to see that most of the permissions were removed after decline at here for something that was resolved and was reviewed before granting some of the permission. For your reference, I am enclosing links to block discussion. See block1 and block2. I am an active new page patroller (you can verify from my contributions) and AfC reviewer (See User:Amkgp/CSD log and AfD log also), an active page mover (especially use it in draftify of undersourced new articles), an active pending changes reviewer and file mover (in fact yesterday I helped to reduce a backlog and you can see permission was granted and a brief discussion took place User_talk:Wugapodes/Archive_17#Permissions already). Beside these I used to help at WP:DYK in making prep sets. I have also helped to promote Mahadevi Varma and Sidney Hill to GA status. I am also a WP:TEA host and help editors when ever I am able to help. I also help in copyright cleanup at commons when I get a chance. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Amkgp. I was really socked to see that I was stripped off most privileges that I earned after spending long time here in en-wiki through positive contributions and trust only. I kindly request you to please restore all the removed rights, so that I can contribute as I was doing. Thank you. — Amkgp 💬 04:40, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How could I become an untrusted user now? Does getting blocked earlier and rectifying thereafter or asking permission based on contributions/improvements makes one untrusted? But at-least restore the flags because I contribute there with permissions very seriously and with responsibility. Thank you — Amkgp 💬 05:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
