One Year Off- Director, Producer, Writer Credits

I am one of the producers of this film. Brad Watson is not the director, Philippe Martinez is, reference of which can be found on IMDB page. Likewise, Steward Thompson is not a producer. He is a writer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14130940/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by MSR Media BA (talk • contribs) 14:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Confused

Seeing as how the comment which I added refers to the content of the film, the source in this case would be the film itself. The part about Hemingway claiming to walk out within the first twenty five minutes of the film was contributed by someone else, located on this same page, directly above the quote attributed to Hemingway. So the source for this information has already been provided. It is therefore worth noting that these two sources (the film itself, and a comment made about the first 25 minutes of the film) are not compatible. So to some degree, the real issue lies in the fact that these two incompatible sources of information co-exist on the same Wikipedia page. What is the protocol for such an inconsistency? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.136.121.100 (talk) 14:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thank you for the message regarding your edit to The Sun Also Rises (1957 film) and for letting me know. Is there a reliable source that independent of the article subject that we can cite that has this information? Can you find anything online? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SPI

Hi Oshwah, I hate to trouble you again but I'm not quite clear on something. I noticed that the two accounts that I reported earlier in this SPI have been confirmed to each other but have not been tagged and blocked. Could you please clarify why they have not been blocked? --Ashleyyoursmile! 15:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ashleyyoursmile! That's because I was in a hurry this morning and didn't get around to doing it. I've blocked the user and closed the SPI report now. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:12, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, Oshwah. :) Ashleyyoursmile! 15:22, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Perec "Peter" Rachman

Hello, Oshwah,

thank you for contacting me. I decided to make a correction in Rachman's origin because present one does not explain in full his roots. He was born to Jewish family as Perec Rachman. His name as well as surname is not Polish but Jewish, nevertheless Wikipedia description does not clarify this. A good example of a full information about the origin of a person might be Chagall's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Chagall: "Marc Chagall[a] (born Moishe Shagal; 6 July [O.S. 24 June] 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin". Please, do change Rachman's description for the same as Chagall's, or I can do that as well (please, do instruct). The present description suggest that Rachman was a Pole, while in fact he was a Jew born in the then Poland, now Ukraine. It is an important fact as Jews born in Poland before second world war usually did not considered themselves as Poles. Many of them did not speak Polish at all but Jidish, and many would not like to be recognised as Poles. And I am saying that as a descendant of Jewish family from Poland. Furthermore, after Poland lost its eastern part after world war two to, among others, Ukraine, he did not recognised himself as a Pole and did not took Polish passport, but decided to remain stateless. I would be very grateful if you could recognise true origin of Rachman as present inaccuracy does not express fairness to Polish community in the UK and Poles living in Poland, as well as it is not fair for Rachman's fellow Jews living in London.

Thank you in advance for the understanding. Kind regards Emilia Stankiewicz ZiggyStardust77 (talk) 17:24, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ZiggyStardust77, and thanks for leaving me a message regarding your edits (1, 2, 3) to Peter Rachman. Do you have a reliable source that you can cite in the article to support your changes. Remember that all content that is added to articles must be attributable to a reliable source. This keeps Wikipedia content accurate and able to be properly reviewed and scrutinized.

Hi

I'm new here and know nothing, how do I create a page? Yours, Pickle the cool (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)Pickle the cool[reply]

Hi Pickle the cool! Thanks for the message, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'd visit this help page for how to get started with creating an article. Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through Wikipedia's getting started page and that you complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial before you make any edits or take on any major tasks around here. It will provide you with many important walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will familiarize you with our policies and guidelines, how Wikipedia works, how to navigate around the site, and how to find important locations and pages. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and saved them hours of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. Again, welcome! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:17, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a piece of wrong information in a movie article.

Hello! First of all, thank you for your cooperation. Recently, I made a little change at Raya and the Last Dragon in sequel part. There was written that Disney will proceed with a lesbian relationship between Raya and Namaari. I think this piece of information is not authentic. The reference used to describe that plot doesn't contain any interview or video of the actress. Disney didn't officially release any statement for the sequel of this movie. If this is a rumor about the sequel, I think this is not a polite way to describe a good family movie. Especially when there is no authentic clue that Disney will proceed with a lesbian relationship. It is kinda offended to Disney fans. I hope you can understand that there shouldn't be this type of prediction in a family movie. Thanks again for your amazing contribution to this encyclopedia. numanzamandipuu (talk) 18:08, 30 March 2021 (UTC)numanzamandipuu[reply]

Hi Numanzamandipuu, and thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns. If the content isn't referenced by a reliable source, go ahead and remove the content. Remember to explain your changes using the edit summary so that other users will understand what you're doing and why. The content that you attempted to remove does not say that "Disney will proceed with a lesbian relationship between Raya and Namaari" - you took it out of context. It states that Kelly Marie Tran, who is the voice actor of the character Raya in the film, "holds the hope" that Disney will do this. :-) Make sure that you fully review content and that their references are reliable before you remove it. Removing something because it could be potentially offensive to its readers isn't a reason to remove something from an encyclopedia if the content is encyclopedic. Remember that Wikipedia is not censored. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exemption

Greetings -

I opened an OTRS ticket several weeks ago requesting an IP block exemption for my account, but I still have not received a response. I'm looking for an IPBE primarily for privacy reasons, as I recently subscribed to a VPN provider. I want to be able to edit without having to turn off my VPN every time I edit, and I would always be logged into my account anyway so it’s not like it would be a problem.

I’m a trusted editor here with over 17,000 edits, and I’ve been here for over 7 years. I believe I am a suitable candidate for the exemption.

I am aware that IP block exemptions are generally given to students so that they can edit from educational institutions. However, there have been multiple instances of IPBE being granted to trusted editors simply so that they can edit with enhanced privacy by utilizing their VPN.

If you or another checkuser could look into my case for an IPBE, I'd greatly appreciate it. LJF2019 talk 13:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are you an administrator? If so then you should be able to remove the IP block yourself I don't know why you are asking another administrator about it when you could literally do it yourself. And no I am not being rude this is a simple statement of fact. Fcstu 2000113193 (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell from their user page, they are not an administrator. What made you think that they were one? BilCat (talk) 18:36, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fcstu 2000113193 - This user is not an administrator, and even if they were - administrators granting IPBE exemption (even to themselves) outside of process is extremely frowned upon; it should only be granted by trained users after they've submitted a request and have been evaluated by a checkuser in OTRS. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:48, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi LJF2019! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your request for obtaining the IP block exemption user rights. Unfortunately, I'm still a relatively new checkuser, and I haven't yet been (unofficially) trained on the process of vetting and scrutinizing applications yet. I want to get myself trained on this before I take on any tasks regarding IPBE. This assures that I'm doing the right things and that I'm using the checkuser tools according to policy and within their compliance. I also want to make sure that I understand the norms regarding the process and the OTRS queue with IPBE requests. You should hear from a checkuser shortly; just give it some time. There are only a limited number of checkusers and there are many applications that they have to go through and approve. You'll hear back from one of them - worry not! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:44, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please check this out

Draft:Antano Solar John has just been created. Some time ago in Main space Antano Solar John was deleted, bizarrely by a PRIOD, with an interesting rationale in the deletion log. I have quacking antennae. I have no idea which, if any, SPI was initiated, but wonder if you would mind using the tools at your disposal to check its history and that of various creating editors and contributor out, please.

Hi Timtrent! Thanks for the message and for letting me know about this. Unfortunately, the creator of the Antano Solar John article was blocked back in 2017, so I have very little checkuser data to use in order to compare this user to the user that created the draft article. I can say that the result is possible, but inconclusive. The only information I can give you is that they're from the same country - which really doesn't mean much. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:56, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, could you block Bl2phy7uwr9ty (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and look for any sleepers/proxies for blocking?

Longterm Sock Vandal is back (DerekHistorian/WorldCreaterFighter)

The long term vandal and sockpuppet user WorldCreaterFighter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/WorldCreaterFighter) is back and now again full in his agenda and topic area, after making much small undisputed eduts. The new user Vamlos (User:Vamlos) is identical to DerekHistorian (one of the WorldCreaterFighter socks) (User:DerekHistorian)? His edit style and topics are nearly identical and he is at edit warring and disruptive editing again. His main agendas are largely related to racialist, genetic and anthropologic topics. He has once vandalized the article Ainu people, Uyghurs, and others, and is now back. Could you please take care and prevent further disruptive edits and vandalism by this long term vandal. A sockpuppet investigation or a edit and topic comparison would be useful. Thank you in advance.178.165.130.165 (talk) 13:07, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revision deletion request

Hello Oshwah, I was interested if revdelete can be performed on my userpage because pre-January 30, 2021 content contains personal information of myself that I do not want to be on Wikipedia, and if it can be performed, I would want all of the pre-January 30, 2021 revisions to be removed. Thanks, Vacant0 (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vacant0 -  Done. Next time, you should email me these kinds of requests instead of leaving them here where they're public. Over 1000 editors have this page on their watchlist, and if you post these kind of privacy-related requests here, you will most definitely trigger the Streisand effect, as editors will quickly run over and look at the content before it becomes restricted for them to see. ;-) Anyways, you should be good to go! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:03, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How long back can you check an old account? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 04:12, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Supreme Deliciousness - Checkuser data can only go back three months from the time that the edit or log entry is made. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not even IP info is saved in an old account? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 04:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Supreme Deliciousness - No, none of the technical data that checkusers can use to retrieve account, IP, and edit data from is permanently stored. When an item of technical data is stored, it is retrievable by checkusers for only three months from the date and time that it was first logged. Once that data's age reaches three months from the date and time that it was originally logged and stored, it gets deleted and expunged and is no longer retrievable by checkusers.
However, if a stale account I'm checking has no technical data available due to the account being inactive for longer than three months, there is still a chance that I can pull some data. If the stale account has had technical data retrieved by other checkusers in the past, these checks get logged, and I can go into that checkuser log, see what other checkusers have run on the account in the past, and (sometimes) get the IP address from the log's chronological timeline. Checkusers will typically pull the IP addresses used from an account, which adds "Checkuser A got IP addresses from Stale Account A (For reason A)" to the checkuser log. Next, the checkuser will (usually) take those IPs and pull the technical data from them, which adds "Checkuser A got edits from IP address A (For reason A)", "Checkuser A got edits from IP address B (For reason A)", etc. into the checkuser log right next to each other. Checkusers can sometimes put those pieces together and retrieve the IP addresses that the stale account used at the time.
However, this method is not always reliable nor guaranteed. The data is very limited, and sometimes logged in a way that isn't chronological or useful. If the stale account has never been checked by a checkuser before, or if the needed IP data wasn't checked after the initial IP check, I'll have absolutely no data that I can use. In that case, I'll put the account as  Stale or  Inconclusive if the data is unavailable or if I think that the data is too old. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:48, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Odd blanking

Hi Oshwah, Template:About/doc has a odd history of blanking by IP users. It's rare enough that it probably doesn't need protection, but could you look at it anyway? I know high-usage templates are eligible for long-term protection, but I haven't seen that done for doc pages. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 05:53, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BilCat! Thanks for leaving me a message regarding this doc page. I took a look at the edit history, and I definitely see instances of IP blanking - many of which were made over the last month or two. It's problematic for sure, but (like you said) it looks to be pretty rare. I'm going to hold off on protecting it for now, but if things pick up or start to happen again, let me know and I'll take another look. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:01, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An enquiry

Oshwah, I have an enquiry about the article Love Jihad. As Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopaedia I feel that the tone of the article is not neutral. It seems to be slightly biased (Most probably the users unknowingly collected information and cited slightly biased sources). To make it clear I'm not telling that it was purposefully done so, but actually it is happening, even though less in number of cases it has been reported all over the state from where I am. The opening sentence, "Love Jihad (also known as Romeo Jihad) is a conspiracy theory,developed by proponents of Hindutva, that is used to invoke prejudice against Muslims" is not accurately written. It could have been written as an "allegation" instead of being directly stating it as a hoax. It may have been basically influenced by the media which is majorly slightly leftist.

A humble request to rectify the neutrality issue if any. I am not being Islamophobic/racist/casteist but I really look forward to being neutral in my view point. AARYA SAJAYAN (talk) 07:06, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AARYA SAJAYAN, and thanks for leaving me a message here regarding your concerns with the Love Jihad article and some of its content. If you feel that the content can be improved, be bold! You're welcome to edit the article and improve the content. I would also advise you to start a discussion on the article's talk page so that you can express your concerns and interact with other editors regarding them. They'll be able to advise and help you with them. If you have any more questions or need help with anything else, let me know and I'll be happy to help you. :-) Thanks again for the message, and I hope that my response helped point you in the right direction. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The main issue is the lack of proper reliable sources on the topic. The majority of the articles written on Love jihad does not seem to be written in a neutral tone, including the mainstream media most of them are slightly biased. But from what I know several Hindu and some Christian girls have been missing for a very long time after a relationship with muslim men. But it never means that all muslims are the same in every community there would be atleast some of the extremist. I have alleged it earlier on the talk page. I had received a Controversial topic area alert with a discretionary sanctions alert. In the talk page it was stated that "The consensus of high-quality academic sources is that Love Jihad is a conspiracy theory or fabricated claim", that is why I decided to enquire about it.AARYA SAJAYAN (talk)
AARYA SAJAYAN - Have you responded to the talk page discussion and provided reliable sources that you found that help support your concerns? I would continue to respond to the discussion and state your individual concerns with the content. Quote the exact content that you feel should be changed, and provide references as to why.

I was able to find some sources alleging Love Jihad's existence
I'm not sure whether these are sufficient, but I'll try to find more of them.
I suggest changing the opening sentence to "Love Jihad (also known as Romeo Jihad) is an allegation, developed by proponents of Hindutva, which claims that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islam by means such as seduction, feigning love,deception,kidnapping, and marriage, as part of a broader "war" by Muslims against India,and an organised international conspiracy, for domination through demographic growth and replacement" instead of the current version which completely debunks the theory. There has been many such allegations on many a persons and many communities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AARYA SAJAYAN (talk • contribs) 08:51, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AARYA SAJAYAN - I took a quick glance at the references you listed, and while I don't see any red flags that jump out at me, I would discuss it with the other editors on the article's talk page before modifying the article. Make sure you get their input and thoughts first - especially since the article is currently under discretionary sanctions imposed by the Arbitration Committee. I don't want to see you be the subject of any sanctions due to not discussing things and repeatedly causing (what may be seen as) disruption on the article.

AARYA SAJAYAN - Sorry, what I meant to say was that I didn't see anything that was extremely wrong with the sources, but I only looked at them quickly. I don't know for sure if these websites are conveyed as reliable by the community or not. That's why you should discuss the sources with the other editors on the article's talk page. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:14, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change in application of nanotechnology

Hi Oshwah, we are a group of student at USC and our final assignment for a writing class is to polish the article Application of nanotechnology. We are planning to elaborate the application by type and update the lead. The change I made just now is the first step and I haven't added references to it. We have already got everything ready and I am going to put our work on the live page before the deadline tomorrow. Is that ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zehuiwu (talk • contribs) 09:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zehuiwu! Thanks for leaving me a message here and for explaining your edit to Applications of nanotechnology. I would advise putting together the changes you're going to make, then make the edit to the article in one change. This way, you're not removing content and possibly causing confusion with other editors who may examine your changes and not know what you're doing. Other than my advice here, I have no issues with what you're trying to do. :-) If you need any assistance or if you run into any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'll be more than happy to help you with anything you need. I hope you have a great day, and I wish you happy editing! :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:34, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars and Liverpool Wikipedia

Hi, I am new to wikipedia and I have excellent knowledge on Star Wars and Liverpool. How can I join a star wars and liverpool wikipedia editor club? StarWarsLiverpoolWikipedian (talk) 11:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi StarWarsLiverpoolWikipedian! Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad that you decided to join us and create an account! :-) Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I'd begin by going through Wikipedia's getting started page, as well as completing Wikipedia's new user tutorial. These pages will provide you with many important walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will familiarize you with our policies and guidelines, how Wikipedia works, how to navigate around the site, and how to find important locations and pages. If you're interested in joining a WikiProject regarding Star Wars and Liverpool, I'd recommend visiting Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars and Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Liverpool task force (assuming that I found the correct "Liverpool" that you're looking for). These WikiProjects will tell you about articles in progress, current discussions, and articles that need help or expansion. If you have any questions or need any help, please don't hesitate to message me here and let me know. I'll be more than happy to help you.

Soak Test -- accuracy

Hello Oshram, I wanted to add accuracy to Wiki's listing for Soak Test because this is a term being used where a term is already established. I heard someone use the term Soak Test today at work, and when I asked further the meaning, I realized they were referring to something that is the same as Stress Test and Load Test -- definitively established in the SWEBOK back in 1993.

Unfortunately younger people may not be aware of the correct term, and end up making up a term for something that is already established, which thereafter creates confusion, inconsistency, and inaccuracy.

I took the time to provide my comment so that Wiki would continue to be a reliable source of information.

Hi there, and thanks for leaving me a message regarding your edit to Soak testing. I'll be more than happy to help you! :-) Your concerns regarding the article should be posted in a discussion on it's talk page, not the article itself. You'll want to go here in order to add your concerns so that other editors can discuss them with you. You're also encouraged to be bold and improve the article if you believe that there are problems with it. I recommend discussing them first, though. This way, other editors can help you and provide input.

Hi Texcolo775! Thanks for leaving me a message here regarding your edit to Cobra Kai. Instead of disrupting an article by showing your class that anyone can edit Wikipedia, I would tell them this verbally and perhaps demonstrate that fact by editing the Wikipedia sandbox. As a teacher and someone whose career is in the field of knowledge and learning, you should understand that even demonstrations like the one you made for your class are disruptive. We should be teaching students that, while Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a reference or source for student papers or reports, Wikipedia is an important website in regards to the neutral and free publication of encyclopedic content, and that we should be treating Wikipedia with respect. I hope that this is something you consider doing. Nonetheless, I appreciate you for letting me know. I hope you have a great day. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:43, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LooneyTraceYT! Thanks for leaving me a message here. Unfortunately, due to Wikipedia's checkuser policy, I can't run a checkuser on an account per their own request. The policy states, "On some Wikimedia projects, an editor's IP addresses may be checked upon their request, typically to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation. Such checks are not allowed on the English Wikipedia and such requests will not be granted." If the users who filed or updated the SPI report wish to request a checkuser, they can do so - but I cannot run a checkuser on someone's own account if they request it be done. :-/ Sorry - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:06, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Timtrent! Thanks for the barnstar and for taking the time to leave me the very kind words. :-) Unfortunately, we (or at least I) run into this situation a lot. Teachers want to demonstrate to their students in class that editing Wikipedia is easy, and hence shouldn't be used as a a source or be trusted because of this.

It resolves the situation each time in my experience. ;-) Thanks again, and I hope you have a great day.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Creativework27

Hi! Another account just showed up at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Creativework27 with the same type of suspicious behavior. I reported. Could it be possible to protect the page and/or range block the range the socks are coming from? This disruption will probably continue as long as the AfD lasts.--Eostrix  (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 19:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eostrix! I checked both accounts that you reported, and they're coming from different ranges. At this point right now, until I gather more data, it seems that it would be useless to block the IPs to these accounts, since it's likely that they'll just use another range. If you report any more users to that SPI, let me know and I'll take a look. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:43, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I will request semi-protection (+report the sock) if more new accounts show up to that AfD. It does appear to be motivated by this very specific new article (and its deletion), so semi should probably do the trick.--Eostrix  (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 19:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Laryngospasm" contribution

"Laryngospasm"

I suffer from occasional laryngospasms. I experience 2 or 3 incidences a year on average. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago. My spasms are triggered by liquid, as well as by saliva or mucus that drains unexpectedly toward the esophagus.

I was happy to see this wikipedia page with very good information about laryngospasm. It is very accurate. The only thing I wanted to share with people is what has helped me, personally, in terms of prevention.

At night, sleeping on my right side has never resulted in a spasm for me. It has always been the left side when my spasm kicks in.

More often, my spasms happen during the day than at night. Keeping the chin tucked while swallowing liquid (through the use of a straw) and keeping my chin tucked while my sinuses are draining (such as during a cold or flu) has proven to keep my vocal cords mechanically protected from triggers like liquid or mucus.

Is there a way we can share this "personal experience" in the prevention section? I think it will help people who prefer to avoid medication. I think the "tucked chin" method is most helpful to prevent a spasm from occurring in public (which has happened to me and is really a horrible position to be in and to put other people in).

Thanks!! 76.183.218.109 (talk) 01:06, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a message here. Unfortunately, that would constitute original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia.

Hello

Hello Oshwah, I noticed you tagged this SPI as possible/unlikely, and tbh I got a tad bit confused there. I’m not sure, but could you be so kind as to explain what “Possible/Unlikely” means? Isn’t that kind of contradictory? Celestina007 (talk) 02:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Celestina007! Sure, I'll be happy to explain. It's pretty much how it's worded. It's possible that they're sock puppets, but it's unlikely that they're sock puppets too. It basically means that there's a possibility, but the possibility doesn't seem very probable, or that the possibility is small. Does that make sense? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:06, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I took time to read your response over and again & finally I think I understand. Alright then, thanks for your time. Celestina007 (talk) 02:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Timtrent -  Done. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:00, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have rarely seen such a huge queue at SPI. I know it's a difficult area for admins, anyone, to work in, but do we have a shortage of appropriate admins right now? The application process looks to me to have become pretty dreadful, and I'm not sure why anyone would submit themselves to it nowadays. Might that be an underlying reason? Fiddle Faddle 09:44, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Timtrent - As far as the SPI queue goes that need checkusers to respond: It's probably partially my fault. I've been taking the entire SPI queue on by myself in that area, and I'm sure that other checkusers see it as a welcome break for them. As far as the 'completed' and 'open' queues go, we probably do need more administrators to patrol them and take action. I do see that those queues have gone by slowly and that we lack the number of patrolling administrators who are willing to handle cases at SPI. However, I wouldn't be worried too much. We're training new SPI clerks as I speak who will be able to help with moving cases along and close them with action. I think that we should be training more clerks in order to help with the queue, and we will be. We have a team of dedicated people at SPI; we just need more people who can help. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:06, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen you doing a lot of heavy lifting with CU. How can it possibly be partially your fault in that area? Are you British, blaming yourself in advance and apologising just in case???? The other queues do seem to need more willing hands. It's a role for a very particular type of person, and I suspect can be rather good fun, as can CU.
I'll stick to finding 'em! You specialists can knock 'em down. Good to hear there are more people in the wings being trained. We could do with a load more AFC folk, too. Fiddle Faddle 10:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Timtrent - I think you meant to say 'Canadian'. LOL! Yes, we're training two new SPI clerks now, and I'll be asking that more be trained as soon as their training is complete. I could also be training a new SPI clerk, but I'd rather get more experience and training as a checkuser first before I take on any more tasks. Plus... my plate is pretty full right now. I patrol for vandalism, take care of the SPI 'checkuser needed' queue, help with ACC, make sure that the AIV, UAA, and RFPP queues are taken care of, I'm being trained tomorrow morning to be able to help with the IPBE queue, I respond on my user talk page to the many messages I receive from users who need assistance... I can only do so much. Maybe I just need to grow two more arms so that I can do more things faster... :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Or just forego sleep! Don't get into danger of burining out. I took a 5 year or so break from that. Fiddle Faddle 11:18, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Timtrent - Nah, don't worry, I won't burn out. Once I start getting bored or tired of editing Wikipedia, I take a break or call it a night. I'll also take a few days off of Wikipedia if I need to. I'm here because I want to be. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 11:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editing of Lee Rowley page

Hi Oshwah,

Thanks very much for your last reply: User:Oshwah/TalkPageArchives/2021-02#Editing_of_Lee_Rowley_page. I have not reverted the vandalism on the Lee Rowley page as I don't want to engage with edit warring, but tried to engage with BingBong2001 on the relevant talk page - Talk:Lee Rowley. Unfortunately he has not responded for over a month and can I therefore ask you to step in. I tried to systematically go through his edits and detail how they are at odds with the polices of Wikipedia but got nowhere.

Just to remind you, this other user only edits pages relating to one person (adding in positive references to them and deleting more negative ones) and has no history of wider editing on Wikipedia. The same edits have been made by a couple of unregistered users and from the content of the edits and the writing style, it looks like the same person. Other users have raised concerns about their apparent conflict of interest (COI) on their talk page. As such, I don't know what the best option is as if you were to block the registered user from editing the page, I suspect they will just create a new account and do the same edits. Could you revert their last edits and perhaps put a page protection in place please?

Thanks,

Impsfan (talk) 09:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Impsfan - If the user hasn't edited in a month (which I can see from their edits that they haven't been), I'd say respond to the discussion, ping the user and leave a note on their user talk page, and wait a few days. If they don't respond in a few days, then make the change on the article, and note the change and the fact that they haven't been online in a month in the edit summary. If they want to revert it, they should discuss it first per WP:BRD. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
