Correction

Hello Mr. Muboshgu I did removed that information since it’s inaccurate. I work for Mr. Iglesias and was advised to remove it or corrected. Thank you Tenay40 (talk) 03:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up...

I just reverted an edit made prematurely on a standings grid (Pac-12 women) regarding a game (that still had 2 min to go) saying that one team had lost. And the thing was that the edit was made like 5 real time min before I reverted it so they made a call on it when there was still quite a bit of time to go. The user is KingSkyLord. Please keep an eye out for them. Thanks. Hopefully we can keep this again between the two of us. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 04:12, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GoWarriors151718, you do realize that this talk page is public, right? That user could see this if they happen to come by. Are you messaging them on talk pages? – Muboshgu (talk) 15:36, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
After thinking about this, I shouldn’t have said anything. This was my mistake and let’s just move on from this. If that person has a bone to pick with me now, I’ll deal with it but I didn’t act in the way that I should have. I made a mistake. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 16:37, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for lurking. It's Madness. In March it's very hard not to lean on the "enter" key even when we're normally quite reasonable. Last night I was shouting at the TV myself. GoWarriors151718, give yourself (and others) some slack. And thanks for all the hard work this year on those bracket-related articles. BusterD (talk) 16:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
BusterD, sheesh, lurking is only allowed when you deploy the (talk page stalker) notice! I agree that everyone should just take a breath and remember that this is just a game. But also remember what the yogi said, it ain't over 'til it's over. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:58, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not over until Nika Mühl says so. She's my new hero. BusterD (talk) 17:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@BusterD: Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. I have taken my deep breath and I am deciding that I am going to move on from this and hopefully the other person will to without much fuss. And I like that quote that you used Muboshgu. You never know how these games will end. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 17:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NSPORTS edit requests

Hi, would you be willing to look at the three edit requests I made at NSPORTS on 19 March? They're just correcting small errors and should be pretty straightforward to change. –dlthewave ☎ 15:28, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dlthewave, I'll take a look in a minute. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Biden Ukraine page sanctions

The sanctions at that page are not being enforced correctly or fairly. How can we remedy that? As it stands now the experienced editors are receiving warnings and the inexperienced editors are being blocked. Isn't this backwards from how it should be? Mr Ernie (talk) 20:17, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Ernie, good question. Who is the admin who put the sanctions on the page? We can bring violations to them. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:30, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Found it at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log. It was ST47, who I won't bother with a ping. Could check in with them, or really any uninvolved admin. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:35, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The solution is simply to remove the 1RR restriction. Then the non-consensus edits can be reverted and we won't run short of editors with a revert to spare. The reason experienced editors are warned is because they are removing bad edits when an inexperiened editor makes a non-consensus addition. SPECIFICO talk 22:58, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
SPECIFICO, I don't know that that's the best solution, but that would also require an uninvolved admin. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You Tube

Hi Muboshgu! I see you reverted the edition I made to the Will Smith page and I dont have a problem with that at all, because after I wrote about the incident, I noticed that it was already written about in another area of the page. One thing about you tube videos, though: sometimes they are the only source we have about an incident (for example, something that happened during a particular boxing fight) so, depending on the incident, it might be appropriate to use You Tube as a source or not (I mean, they do bare, and might actually be the only, witness sometimes to important happenings, specially on minor but important events such as a sports event)

Thanks and God bless! Antonio The Barking Dog Martin (say it to me) 23:35, March 28, 2022 (UTC)

AntonioMartin, YouTube videos are "generally unreliable" per WP:RSPYT. They work better as external links than inline citations. And in this particular case, we have a ton of articles and thinkpieces written on the event so we don't need to rely on YouTube. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:42, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Right..like I said, I don't have a problem with your revert. God bless!Antonio The Lovely Beast Martin (say it to me) 00:00, March 29, 2022 (UTC) Antonio Martin (talk) 00:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PRUMT-16

Hi Muboshgu.

Of course it is a hoax. It is an April fool's joke. Sorry that I got the timing wrong. It'll be April 1 in 30 minutes as per UTC as per the guideline.

What is the problem with it?

Regards. Eno Lirpa (talk) 23:37, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eno Lirpa, see Wikipedia:Rules for Fools. It says not to use talk pages, and COVID-19 is not a joking topic. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Did you read it? It is not actually joking about COVID-19. In fact it acknowledges the seriousness of it. (The talk page posts were not jokes either.) Apart from getting the timing not quite right as far as I can see I have complied with all Rules for Fools. Eno Lirpa (talk) 23:55, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The similarity of the terms PRUMT-16 and COVID-19 and your posting this on a COVID-19 talk page are just coincidences then.... – Muboshgu (talk) 02:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No. I was making a factual statement about where people who might have an interest in geopolitics and epidemiology might find some homor on the subjects, something we all need I bit more of these days I think. The PRUMT-16 was I thought in line with the WHO's format and in that sense it would be similar to any WHO designation, but it is not a dig at COVID-19. Eno Lirpa (talk) 03:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Did you read it? It literally says There is a precedent for deleting COVID-19 joke pages. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:35, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I did, several times. The point is that the joke is not about COVID-19. See also my talk page. Regards. Eno Lirpa (talk) 03:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I get it. It's about COVID-19. It's also not funny. Now you're submitting it for review? At midnight, I'm deleting it again, unless someone beats me to it. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Decided to do it myself. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:12, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it is not about COVID, but c'est la vie. Re, the SALT, rest assured I have been on and off Wikipedia for 14 years, so I know how things work. I would not have recreated it again. In line with your page deletion, can you also please revdel the section on my talk page regarding the mock interview. Regards. Eno Lirpa (talk) 23:32, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't fall under the criteria for redaction as far as I can see. You can put what you want in your userspace that doesn't violate the CSD. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:12, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will Smith

Do you think that it is time for an RfC? I thought consensus was clear, but someone else thought otherwise (Special:Diff/1080545047)). A shame what a great waste of editor time this is, if only people stopped trying to be a news sevice. 15 (talk) 08:47, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
