So there's a User:Deepfriedokra2. I've been thinking about changing my username to User:Lichenous rock, and the need to avoid confusion makes sense to me. Thoughts and feedback invited, --Deepfriedokra (talk) 23:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

But what if someone makes a Lichenous rock 2? Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI guide} 22:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Moneytrees: I think Lichenous rock is cooler. Which is less uncool? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:39, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Lichenous rock isn't that bad or anything, Deepfriedokra is just an S-tier username easy. There's not much beating it. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI guide} 23:32, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Well, then. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 23:36, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

GHA Page

Hi there

You recently deleted a page that didn't meet Wikipedia's requirements. I was hoping to address your concerns and build on the page that I had already written. It says that I can reach out to you to recover the deleted page?

Please let me know if you can assist.

Warm regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpecialKCereal8 (talk • contribs) 18:44, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@SpecialKCereal8: I'm sorry, but that was wholly promotional content mostly if not entirely sourced to the subject. It needs to be completely rewritten from scratch with information cited to reliable sources unconnected with the subject. Please see the deletion notice on your talk page for further guidance. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Deleted Artice

Hi,

You deleted an article galaxy heroes (cryptocurrency) because it was promotional. Well, it was actually highly promotional but I want to rewrite it. Don't know if you could restore it so that I can work on it then submit it as a draft for review.

Regards Mastetchi (talk) 22:12, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Sikri Kalan

(redacter)

First of all, I want to apologize to all of you if I said something wrong to you.

So the thing that is arising is that you are redirecting Sikri Kalan Page to Sikri Khurd Page. So this is Wrong because Sikri Kalan and Sikri Khurd both are different villages in Modinagar.

So what happened earlier? Somebody made a page of Sikri Khurd and put the details in it, but after that, he did not make a page of Sikri Kalan and he redirected the page of Sikri Kalan to Sikri Khurd. And for your kind information, I have already told you that both Sikri Kalan and Sikri Khurd are different villages.

Some people believe that I am editing it or changing it for my selfishness. But all that is wrong because I live in Sikri Kalan and I can't read anything wrong about my village.

In the last, I would just like to say that you should first do research on Sikri Kalan and Sikri Khurd and then take some decision so that I am satisfied and all the public who are seeing it should also be satisfied.

Thanks Regards, (redacted)

Now the apology is good, but I'm not someone you insulted. As to whether the article should be or not be as you left it is not of interest me. I just hope you can go forward with out being rude to people, and that you learn how to resolve disagreements with other editors. You need to discuss all of this, omitting personal information, on the talk page. ICYMI, I did not redirect the page, I've no interest in it.

Queensland Wood Reference Collection copyvio deletion

Although Queensland Wood Reference Collection copies alot from https://www.chiefscientist.qld.gov.au/science-in-queensland/scientific-collections/wood-reference, that page could be licensed under CC-BY, per https://www.chiefscientist.qld.gov.au/legals/copyright.

@Techie3: Unfortunately, there was material the copyvios report reported from a copyrighted source. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:21, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Just a question, which copyrighted source? https://www.chiefscientist.qld.gov.au/science-in-queensland/scientific-collections/wood-reference is maybe under the CC-BY 4.0 license, which is allowed on Wikipedia. Techie3 (talk) 03:24, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I restored the page click here. There's a copyright notice at the bottom. Really, you think I don't know about CC-BY 4.0 ? That's not what it says. But if that's a given . . . .. Please. Take a look. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:26, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I prefer this to be settled by AFD, as there is a some chance that page is free licensed. Also the copyvio page has: This article contains an attribution template: {{CC-notice}}. Please verify that any potential copyvios are not from properly attributed sources. Techie3 (talk) 03:32, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

It says at the bottom, "© The State of Queensland (Office of the Queensland Chief Scientist) 2004–2022". . . . .

@Techie3: What do you think? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:33, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Oh, did not see your reply. I've restored. An uninvolved editor has questioned, so it is not CSDable. I'll detag and notify the taqgger. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:34, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra And https://www.chiefscientist.qld.gov.au/legals/copyright say that the whole site, except some images is CC-BY 4.0. Techie3 (talk) 03:35, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Lata Mangeshkar

Hello, It is usual for deceased individuals to put a younger picture of them

I wanted to replace the main picture of Lata Mangeshkar with the one The Economist used for its obituary. It's from the 1942 film Pahili Mangaala-gaur Here's the name of the file "Lata Mangeshkar (Black and White Picture).jpg"

I also tried to move the "childhood picture" down a bit so that it does not conflict with the vertical table on the right.

The edits are not being saved because of the anti-vandalism block

Can you help, please?

2nd coming of Jesus, future Predictions, personal attack in comment?

If someone removes anonymously a new entry of the only prediction of the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ that is explained in 2 entire books and I say that person was lead by an evil spirit, you are telling me I attacked someone?? Who? An IP? Then you lock the page to prevent the addition of that entry again. In what spirit do you lock the page to make it impossible to add the biggest prediction about the 2nd coming of Christ in the next 6 years. Is that light or darkness that tries to hide something like that? Hiding is always darkness. Eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear are useless. LetTruthBeFound (talk) 12:31, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

@LetTruthBeFound: Looks like you are here to preach. Not to build the encyclopedia. I'll pray for you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:35, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

What did Jesus come for? And what did he tell us? To build an encyclopedia that blocks information about his 2nd coming on a page named predictions of the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ? You might want to pray for yourself. I am not the one hiding information from being entered in an so called encyclopedia but you and your buddies. LetTruthBeFound (talk) 12:42, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

"All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking."

It is not the place for editors to espouse there personal beliefs. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:56, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Regarding unblock of decent user

I've heard that SHISHIR DUA has been blocked over certain reasons. He has been completing ever single project with sheer performance on each. I understand for this reason (but trying to be anonymous citing that I've over 12000 edits with my account) I can say you without him certain projects are pending that I was collaborating with him and I thereby appeal you to unblock him. I assure no issue will persist in future even we will make Wikipedia enhanced with our knowledge. Hoping for a favor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.83.69.32 (talk) 16:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Non-admin declining bot report

Hey! So I recently saw a user who isn't an admin decline a bot report as a FP at WP:UAA. Are non-admins allowed to do that or is it something that should generally be left to only admins: ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:35, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf: I'm not sure non admins should make/can make that decision, but it looks like a false report. If it becomes a pattern, it should be discussed with the user. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:51, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Alright that's what I thought. I knew that was sort of the decision at WP:AIV so I figured it would be same here. Usually I'll only make comments on bot reports if it's a non-latin username (it'll just be me translating it to save admins time in determining if it's a username vio) but I won't do any declining of reports. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:55, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I have been blocked

Hello,

I tried to edit the Wikipedia page for Drusillas Park (I work here), as there was some incorrect information on the page. However, I have never used Wikipedia before as a contributor as was not aware that I could not do this from the point of view of the business. Apologies, I didn't realise this would be seen as not objective, I was just trying to correct the information. We would really like to just remove the part in the top blurb saying we have a Hello Kitty themed attraction, as this has now been removed from the Park, and as our contract has ended we can't be seen to be promoting its inclusion at the Park. Would someone please be able to remove this from the top intro about Drusillas Park? It's of course fine to be later on in the history, but there are also some incorrect facts there too:

- It was closed on 27th December 2021. (In the article it states '23th Dec' and also say 2020). - PLEASE REMOVE: "and is home to the first Hello Kitty-themed attraction in Europe."

Many thanks for your help, and apologies for the accidental violation.

Hi, You have locked this page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsha Since there seems to be vandalism concerning the religion of Harsha.

I don't go to UTRS very often; how does this work? I gather that the comment I left isn't automatically visible to the person who opened the ticket? Or is it? In any case, the tool certainly gets the wikt:angry fruit salad award :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

@RoySmith: No, they shouldn't be able to see our notes. It is no longer being supported by the mediawiki support people, and the knowledge to restore/improve functionality is lacking. Annnd, at this point, I would be willing to see it replaced by something operating on META. As long as they were not globally locked, they could log in like anywhere else. No more Skiyomi (hi skiyomi, I know you love me) sending in spoofed requests trying to get other users banned. It would no longer be UTRS, I guess, but it should work better. Thanks for updating that ticket. Sadly, that's the best he's ever done. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:56, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

The frustrating thing about this case is that they seem to write pretty good articles, and having a comprehensive series on the military history of Cyprus would be an asset for the encyclopedia. I've seen this scenario before. Somebody gets into a battle over something and isn't able to work it out so they end up getting blocked. And then they just keep painting themselves deeper into a corner with socks and pretty soon we lose sight of the good content they produce and can only see the block evasion. I don't have a good answer for that, but it is sad. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Punjab Election

Hi Deepfriedokra, Did you notice about your revert that the editor making it is actively disrupting wikipedia articles to artificially add his edit counts [1]. Is this allowed? Venkat TL (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL: Yes, thanks. We are watching to see what he does next. My revert was a sort of warning. I think he's just testing before doing something we'll really hate. 181 user page edits? today? really?20:45, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Ok. The 208 edits of indiscriminate adding and removing wikilinks was a bigger disruption. The page history of multiple pages has been totally spammed. I really dont know what kind of warning to give for this. I was wondering what was wrong with him until he edited the Wikipedia:User access levels. Venkat TL (talk) 20:53, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

His extended confirmed status was removed. I think two other admins are already watching him. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:14, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Probably opening a discussion on his talk with a non templated message. An exchange of views. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

With those actions it is resolved. Admin also explained him on User_talk:Primefac#removal_of_EC_template. So no need for me to post anymore over this. Yes, I could have opened a discussion on his talk page, but I was not sure if it is against Wikipedia rules. It sure appeared against rules but I had not read any rule that said it was illegal. Adding wikilinks is not really an offence. 208 edits to do that probably looked like one. As the admin noted WP:GAMING, now I know the rule that was violated.

Disruptive user with WP:CIR and WP:AGF issues

Per User:TheTimesAreAChanging at WP:ANI:

the bottom line is that User:Comrade-yutyo has added unsupported or erroneous information to four separate articles ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]), reinstated it once ([11]) at Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–1990) and four separate times at Totalitarianism ([12], [13], [14], [15])—including three reverts on March 5 alone—and overridden this file four separate times on Commons since January, all while impugning other users as bad faith disciples of Friedrich Hayek and questioning the credibility of reliable sources under capitalism. Yet this thread has been dominated by discussion of whether Dronebogus erred by merely linking to a talk page (as opposed to providing specific diffs) and by unilaterally removing Comrade-yutyo's duplicative ANI report (rather than allowing an uninvolved administrator to handle it), with the general tenor being that Comrade-yutyo's actions are more forgivable than Dronebogus's due to the former's inexperience (although Comrade-yutyo has been editing Wikipedia for nearly two years).

The reason I’ve brought this directly to an admin is because the admin at the thread ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#user:Comrade-yutyo_edit_warring,_WP:POV,,_WP:GREATWRONGS,_WP:OR,_incivility ) is too busy disputing technicalities (as mentioned above) to discuss the actual problem

@Dronebogus:Yeah, I'm not likely to step on someone else's toes by boldly acting on an ANI thread I have not participated in. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:57, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey, @El C:! --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:46, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey. El_C 23:22, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Please help me to resolve the issue.

Please help me to resolve the issue.

You left a message on my page, please help to involve the user in the dispute (I myself did not figure out how to create a dispute).

In September 2021, a Russian researcher published details about a bug with the self-destruct feature that allowed the user to recover deleted photos from their own device. The bug was patched prior to publication and Telegram representatives offered a €1,000 bug bounty. The researcher did not sign the NDA that came with the offer and did not receive the award, opting to disclose the bug

This paragraph contradicts the original source and misleads users (I assume that interested people are working on this Telegram support). Check the edits, the same user constantly changes the edits against the original source, as Telegram benefits. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Telegram_(software)&action=history

I tried to figure out on my own how the dispute works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard but could not create anything (I don't understand how to start the mechanism).

I really ask for your help (just check the materials). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zanuda petro (talk • contribs) 09:41, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

@Zanuda petro: I don't embroil myself in content disputes. I find them distasteful. First discuss the matter on the article talk page. As ASpacemanFalls has repeatedly asked you to do. You can ask for a third opinion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software OR Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing OR Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Apps if talk page discussion is fruitless. And stop using edit summaries and comments like, "A Telegram representative introduces deliberately false information by rolling back edits." Please see WP:OUTING and WP:AGF. I see no basis for leveling this accusation other than you don't like their edits. Do you have some connection to the Snoopproject? I saw where you wrote "Тестовая страница для проверки Snoop" on your user page. If so, you have a conflict of interest in adding that link. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

You asked to ping you if the vandalism persists and, as you can tell by Zanuda petro's latest diffs, it has. Sorry to bother you, just thought perhaps there's a chance of ending this, since the user seems unwilling to have any sort of discussion at all. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 16:51, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@ASpacemanFalls: I don't think it's vandalism. Just a content dispute. However, if you look at his user page, there is some connection to the source he's citing. I partial blocked him from the article. Please now discuss content and sourcing and follow the dispute resolution steps. You might want to take him to WP:ANI for the aspersions. I assume you are not a shill for the company as he alleges, and even if you are, he's heading into WP:OUTING. If he's right, you just need to read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. The deciding factor for me to block him (and not you for edit warring) was the COI link on top of the aspersions. Also, ASACT, this is the stable status quo ante --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:31, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I assumed that adding disputed content over and over with a dubious source constituted vandalism but I think you're right. I'm not connected to any companies whose pages I edit but I recognise I probably invested too much of my time into this, my desire to be right be damned. I'll see what should be done if the behaviour continues, though I suspect my time is better spent helping get some other pages in order. Sorry for taking up your time. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 17:38, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

No problem, and I did warn and educate Zanuda . This going to WP:AN for review as I blocked one party to a content dispute and not the other. --Deepfriedokra (talk)

An editor is misrepresenting data and information

ear Deepfriedokra,

An editor is misrepresenting data and information from source. See change Log

Here is the EFN and citation added by editor efn|According to the Jammu and Kashmir Police, 89 Hindus were killed by militants between 1990 and 2021, while 1,724 citation |title=In 3 decades,

EFN : 89 Hindus were killed by militants between 1990 and 2021, while 1,724 people of other faiths (mainly Muslims) were killed during the same period
Source reads : 89 Kashmiri Pandits, 1,635 people of other faiths were also killed during the same period.

• Misrepresentation 1  : 89 Hindus (EFN) Vs 89 Kashmiri Pandits(Source)
  • Notes assume there was no Hindu apart from Kashmiri Pandits.
• Misrepresentation 2  : 1,635 people of other faiths (EFN) vs 1,724 people of other faiths (Source)
  • Notes changes numbers.
• Misrepresentation 3  : EFN says (mainly Muslims)
  • (Nowhere in source it says mainly Muslims). Also here, other faiths may include christen, Sikhs, Non Pundit Hindu, etc.
  • Not just that he used this EFN to write Kashmiri Muslims were also killed during the insurgency (in greater numbers in fact)

I request you kind attention on this, the editor in subject has done similar thing in past and I have requested/questioned in the talk page.

Peng Shuai

Hi, just letting you know that you've locked in a version that incorporates major new changes from FobTown on Feb 21 to the intro. The stable version had been written by myself and multiple other editors up until Feb 9, during which FobTown did not contribute or discuss anything. The Feb 9 version retains all the citations before they were moved to the body if that's what you're concerned about. Thanks. CurryCity (talk) 07:06, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@CurryCity: I was concerned with the edit warring. Will restore status quo ante' --Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

No. Not done. Please discuss your competing versions on the article talk page. Please use dispute resolution to resolve your dispute. I feel like you are using me to restore your preferred version, and I cannot take sides. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Every time FobTown comes up with some ridiculous change, I or some other editor ended up doing all the work opening up Talk sections for their newest idea. This has become insanity. I'm not doing all the work improving articles, trying to accommodate editors that no longer should be given credit of the doubt, and still be doubted. Good luck. CurryCity (talk) 07:55, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

I can appreciate that. Maybe it's time to get a partial block for them at WP:ANI. I'm really asleep. Will try to look when I'm awake. It makes no sense to fully protect a page if one editor is causing disruption. All I saw was you two editwarring, hence the full protection. FobTown! Helloooooo @FobTown:! Please join this discussion! Sorry. I'm gonna drink some water and go back to sleep. @CurryCity: Yeah, you might want to take them to WP:ANI. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:00, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@CurryCity: Is this content covered by the RfC on the talk? What other WP:DISPUTERESOLUTION has been tried? Looks like you were reverted at one point by @Fyunck(click): Mote in God's Eye? and at another by @Horse Eye's Back:. @FobTown: --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:30, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

FobTown wanted to rm the whole paragraph from intro on Feb 21. I made a short version. Horse didn't seem to like it. I gave up and restored the Feb 9 version before FobTown's changes. Fyunck actually restored mine, but FobTown again reverted that restoraton. You can rv to RfC version if you really don't want to appear to be taking a side. CurryCity (talk) 20:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@CurryCity: my criticism of your changes in the lead of Peng Shuai are as follows:

• You removed "Information about her story was censored by the Chinese government."
• This is more reflective of how foreign news sources viewed the state-owned media: "She showed up in state media two weeks later for appearances that observers believed to have been staged in response to foreign inquiries."
• This sentence sums up Peng Shuai's numerous denials: "E-mails and interview publications have depicted her denying that she made the accusation of sexually assault." On the other hand, you highlighted two interviews without mentioning widespread skepticism of them being staged/controlled. FobTown (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

1. I told you already that sentence was caught up with citations. Here's where I corrected it. Here is you reverting after/despite the fix. Here is Floydian reverting your rv and restoring mine.
2. This is still coming up? We had a BRD, which I opened for you even though you were the one injecting changes, and left as-is with this version (yours) all the way back on Dec 29. But after almost 2 months, you want to change it again?
3. For the 5th time or something, I'm not the one making these changes or highlighting anything. The paragraph was mostly written by PRRfan. And again, the Feb 9 version, my rv [18], Fyunck's rv [19], and Flyodian's rv [20] already explicitly include the words "staged" and "managed", so you're basically making up a strawman and throwing false statements around. These are distractions that do not explain why, even AGF improvement, you must remove an entire para from intro that had been there for ~2 weeks and change old wording that had been there for ~2 months after BRD. CurryCity (talk) 20:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@CurryCity and FobTown: Y'all should document your dispute at Talk:Peng Shuai (You could just carry this over there.) Then request a third opinion. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:56, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

At this point, I'm not confident dispute resolution would address the fundamental problem, but it's difficult to fully describe what it is. Other editors have had issues with FobTown as well, especially regarding Peng Shuai, but most of us just want to move on quickly if possible every time it crops up. This might not be edit warring or vandalism, but more like a slow-burning edit skirmish or perhaps a CIR issue. It has also followed me to other articles. Here's another Talk I opened for them (deja vu). Here's FobTown copying intro for Peng Shuai, not realizing that it has to be supported by the original article's body and citations there. In the process, they even reverted my edit about Li Qi, so again, I find it difficult to AGF when they rv everything, almost never integrate changes in a way that conserves or minimally disrupts previous edits, and are reluctant to put time into discussion.

Question

Hi, the day before yesterday you full-protected the article Scheherazade (yacht). It was basically working; editors were discussing potential content on the tp and an admin was more than willing to review edit requests. Today, however, the protection came off, and almost immediately an new, somewhat SPA dumped in a paragraph of speculation, with questionable sourcing, that adds no encyclopaedic value to the page regarding the boat, with no discussion, not even a summary. This is content that had alreaey been addressed.

This is the kind of disruption that I am hoping to prevent. I believe that the ownership will be confirmed one way or another, and following that, we will learn from RS something more relevant and worthwhile to add to the article. If the page can't continue to be full-protected, then what about semi/extended? (For a period of more than 36 or 48 hours.) Thank you for your attention. - wolf 06:08, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

History repeating itself

DFO, I don't know if you recall this discussion[23] we had. My complaints there are still happening far often. Here[24] and here[25] we have editors putting sources on Joan Joyce when the source says no such thing. This type of sloppy editing goes on far too much, and I sometimes take heat[26] for cleaning this crap up. Drmies agrees that I take flack[27] for this kind of editing. BTW I knew Joan Joyce slightly back in the 80's when my father played at the same golf course she did....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:21, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

@WilliamJE:Can you ANI the problem? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:36, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

We talked about ARBcom two years ago but I have never brought an issue there or ever edited there even once. How would ANI be better?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:40, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

WP:ARBCOM is only for intractable problems that WP:ANI and WP:DRN processes, and other noticeboard discussions have failed to remedy, and or for cases involving confidential information, such as Discord logs.. Also, ArbCom is hip deep in a case right now. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:35, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

@WilliamJE: Hopefully, I will have the focus and strength to look through all of this later today. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:37, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Oh, the referenced talk page was that debacle that wound up with a minor getting sued for defamation. This looks much less serious than that. FWIW, ArbCom presented some remedy at WP:ARBBLP. I'll review that article some more as mental acuity permits. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:59, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. Editors violating WP:OR in BLPS, see Missy Gold for an example, or practicing synth in one, see Al Besselink's talk page are other examples of this. 3 editors at Besselink wanted to pronounce him as dead. One of them even stating a solution of WP:IAR. In a BLP? I think its outrageous. Fanfanatic's behavior is a worst case example, but there is plenty of BLP violation editing being done in WP articles and by editors with long histories here....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:52, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

@WilliamJE: These all look like problems amenable to WP:BRD. I see no need for blocks, protection or deletion. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Take a look at this BLP edit[28]. A editor thinks it is acceptable to combine two sources to say this was the former child actress. Neither of which say it. After I remove it again, they double down[29] by adding a source[30] that WP:RSN said[31] wasn't acceptable. WP:OR is pretty damn clear. No original research in BLPs. This editor thinks its acceptable and they are far from the only one around here....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:24, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

That's back some time ago. There is no admin action (block/delete/protect) for me to take. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:30, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

I wasn't asking you to. WP has a BLP problem aka established editors putting too much crap in articles. I have sometimes called it BS with a reference....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:43, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Today's bit of sloppy BLP editing can be found here[32]. An editor adds the place for where Joan Joyce died and with a reference for it to a sentence that already had two references on it. Trouble is, the two old references don't say she died in Boca Raton. IMO, those references should have been removed. I have complained[33] (see next to last entry in the thread I linked] about this type of add on referencing before. Might seem trivial, but it can be important. Say if the additional information and reference was about something controversial/BLP violation if not referenced. BTW I took the now outdated references off the sentence....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:36, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Possible autobiography?

Draft:Jacob Barnett? Appreciate your gentle handling. Seems like a nice person who is totally lost here but seems to make a genuine effort to be helpful. Unless we're being played, I don't get a bad vibe from them. BTW, I don't have any MEDRS type knowledge but in my experience with kids with AS we are ALL on the autistic spectrum somewhere. So thank you for being kind. BusterD (talk) 18:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

@BusterD: How did I know? Well, he's done used up my social skills for the day. (You've no idea unless you know well, how exhausting all this interaction is.) I don't feel gentle. I just partial blocked him from WP:RfPP. @JBW: is far more gentle and patient and good with people than I. Maybe he can find the words I lack. He usually does. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:58, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

And more recently, this. Favonian (talk) 19:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

@BusterD: Don't know if its a autobiography. It is a not referenced BLP and its been created as Jacob Barnett (mathematician). I proded the article....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:03, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Not even Deepfriedokra? Now I feel like I kicked a puppy. You're far better at coaching than I. As to the draft, I don't want to autiobio warn if it is him for fear of outing. He's smart, just gets locked into repetitive behavior. If you explain the WP:GNG and WP:RS concerns, he'll probably fix the thing. Oh, looks like time for a movemerge --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

@Favonian: then it maybe is not autobio? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Probably not. Role model? Favonian (talk) 19:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

The kid sitting next to him at school?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:11, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Not recently. The article was first deleted in 2011. Favonian (talk) 19:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Now I am getting confused. The article was first created in 2011. Barnett would have been 3 then or am I experiencing time travel?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:17, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Confusion is appropriate, maybe even healthy. According to this source, he was born around 1999. Favonian (talk) 19:26, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this history to my attention, User:Favonian. Seems relevant. I'm going to wax OS here but I'd love to have the subject of the linked book finding a place for themselves here. I'm aware we can only spend so much time on each new user before they become #4 Meng: "...I do not go and seek the youthful and inexperienced, but he comes and seeks me... I instruct him. If he apply a second and third time, that is troublesome, and I do not instruct the troublesome..." (Legge translation is my favorite). BusterD (talk) 19:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Reply

It took some time to reply to your suggestion on my talk page. But this is too difficult for me to edit. I am looking at edits by some other contributors, such as this and thinking: "Why this guy is whitewashing war crimes committed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine?" User tells in edit summary "not a war crime" about the use of thermobaric weapons (also known as a "vacuum bomb") against civilians and Ukrainian military. This issue has been discussed at talk here [34], and this ref [35] was given to the user during discussion. Nevertheless, they made the edit above, i.e. the unilateral removal of well sourced text about the alleged war crimes. I thought about reporting him to WP:AE, but it would probably be dismissed just as another content dispute. I simply can not interact with such users, and this is not just one user, so I am probably going to avoid editing such subjects. Best regards, My very best wishes (talk) 16:41, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

In need at ANI once again

Hello. I have opened an ANI here. Could you have a look at it and, if possible, impose sanctions where needed?
Last time I opened an ANI for this user, no action was taken until three days later after I asked some admins to have a look at it, so this time I decided to start asking sooner. The admin Ymblanter does not want to intervene for - from what I understand - ethical reasons. Thanks in advance. Veverve (talk) 20:22, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: What does it all mean? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I do not think I understand your question. I stopped acting as admin in topics related to the former Soviet Union (with the exception of vandalism and similarly clear-cut cases) some time ago, I have a notice of this on my user page. Ymblanter (talk) 21:49, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

@Veverve: Looks like a lot of bickering. Possible a content dispute. Maybe a talk page watcher who likes to read will take a look. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:23, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
