Before posting a message here please consider if this is the correct venue. If you wish to discuss me (SSSB), my edits (read the second paragragh if you have an issue with an edit request I implemented) or you wish to bring my attention to a certain matter, this is the correct venue (there are other cases where this is the correct venue).

However, this is not the correct venue to make edit requests. These requests should be made on the talk page of the page which you would like to be edited, if you request an edit on a page in which I have an interest it will appear on my watchlist, I will see it. If you have a problem with an edit request I implemented, please consider if it might not be better to respond where the edit request was made (you may use {{ping}} or {{u}} to attract my attention). Thank you,

Guideline and policy news

  • A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
  • A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.
  • A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
  • There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

Technical news

  • 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).

Mazepin controversy category

Earlier in December you reverted my edit that added Category:Formula One controversies to Mazepin's page since it isn't F1 related. Would Category:Auto racing controversies suit better then? FMecha (to talk|to see log) 15:10, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FMecha: not in my opinion. The contraversy surronding Mazepin is about his him, not motorsport, nor Formula 1, nor even sport. If he were a basketball player the situation would be exactly the same, just with certain sport specific terms (team names etc.) swapped out. If he were a news presenter, the contraversy would be exaclty the same, just with Haas being swapped out for whom ever he presents for.

ezhava pic headline

hi ssb, thanks that you understood the thing and added the pic. the caption you added is 'A Thiyya man in British service'. but the original image caption is : Young Thiyyar gentleman in British service holding title of Amsham Adhikari,Rao Bahadur and Menon in south Malabar, late 18th century

This is important to history, as being untouchables and in low strata in hindu caste system thiyyar holded very high positions in British service, which can be cited as one prime reason for the social upliftment of this community.

kindly add the original caption of the image as such Young Thiyyar gentleman in British service holding title of Amsham Adhikari,Rao Bahadur and Menon in south Malabar, late 18th century in ezhava article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.247.201.31 (talk) 10:16, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've done an edit to a similar effect. For future reference, please note that the correct venue for such a request would be Talk:Ezhava. It is on my watch list, so I will be aware of it.
SSSB (talk) 10:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ezhava, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Menon.

Edits reverted

I added a "citation needed" tag to Lewis Hamilton's article and it's been reverted by you. Please can you tell me why it's been reverted because I think those paragraphs clearly needed citations. Thank you Robert Jamal …talk to me💬 17:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertjama12: I removed the request for citations because of what it says in WP:CITELEAD, namely the second paragraph. I simple don't see anything in the lead that is sufficiently controversial to require an inline citation. If you disagree, please feel free to start a discussion on Talk:Lewis Hamilton.

"Excessive images"

I added some pictures to the 2013 Singapore Grand Prix which I took in 2013, but you deleted most of them due to "excessive images". Can you explain why? I thought images would be good for articles. How many images are too many? Anywhere where I can read a Wiki policy for images? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin Goetzinger (talk • contribs) 10:09, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Benjamin Goetzinger,
I should start by clarifying that "excessive images" is simply my opinion, I should have made that clear in my summaries, that's on me, my apologies. If you would like to challenge that opinion (but let's try to compromise here first) feel free to challenge it at Talk:2013 Singapore Grand Prix.
Secondly, the policies are outlined at Wikipedia:Image use policy and the subsection of interest is adding images to articles (thought I'd link this here in case you want to puruse).
The images of the light show and Vettel on screen in my opinion do not satitfy the first criteria of Wikipedia:Image use policy#Adding images to articles, namely I don't see how they increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter.
The five images (of which I retained two) were images of cars driving past where you were sitting (great view). I felt that these were a lot like a Wikipedia:Gallery (again, opinion), which is not what Wikipedia is for. I suppose that one compromise could be if those images were spread more evenly around the page, which would neglect the gallery issue?
SSSB (talk) 10:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SSB, thanks for the clarification and the links, I read through them and agree with you that the many images do not meet the first criteria of Wikipedia:Image use policy#Adding images to articles. So I'm fine with your edit, and even if they are spread more evenly that still is against the first criteria. ;-) Best regards, Benjamin Goetzinger (talk) 11:42, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
