User talk:MrOllie

Hello, welcome to my talk page!

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

That editor is definitely the same person as the IP. — SirDot (talk) 14:46, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Removal of Examples of Danbooru-style imageboards | Edit 1094066088 on Imageboard

I see that you have removed the "Examples of Danbooru-style imageboards" table under "WP:NOT" which creates more confusion than clarification, even considering you may have ment "WP:LINKFARM"

In this case I see fit that there should be a "Comparison of Imageboards" or "Comparison of Imageboard Software" do you think I should start drafting for such page or is it not Wikiworthy? Emircex (talk) 14:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:LINKFARM is a subsection of WP:NOT, yes. No, you should not break it out into a separate page. Lists of external links are off mission for Wikipedia, whether incorporated into an existing page or standing alone. MrOllie (talk) 14:29, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

The existing table was not a linkfarm but a software comparison table it compares which language these sites run on and their software license, Wikipedia has alot of these if you're not aware. Emircex (talk) 05:50, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

A distinction without a difference. Wikipedia isn't for making lists of nonnotable software. Wikipedia does have lots of lists and comparisons - they are either of notable items, or the list or comparison itself is notable for some reason. - MrOllie (talk) 00:12, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Your revert on my talk page

Do not revert a user attempting to discuss something with me on my talk page. There was no valid reason to do so. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:26, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

This is an obvious sockpuppet of a long term vandal and block evader. Their edits are supposed to be reverted, even on talk pages. MrOllie (talk) 00:34, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Show me where it says that you're meant to revert a legitimate talk page discussion of a suspected sockpuppet. It's unnecessary. They were responding to a warning I placed on their talk page. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:36, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:EVADE MrOllie (talk) 00:38, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Given that the user is not blocked and is only a suspected sockpuppet, that means this should not apply as of yet. You're basing your behaviour on the presumption that you're correct when it could be a wild coincidence (not saying it is, just hypothetically). It also states, "However, this does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a blocked editor". You believe them to be a sock but you're jumping the gun in your reverts, especially the ones that aren't malicious in nature like opening a discussion in response to a warning I placed on their page for not adhering to WP:NPOV. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:44, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

That's exactly their MO. at least now they're successfully eating more editor time on this discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:47, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

So let it play out and let the admins ban them, then go to town. It's not WP:DENY when they're getting all this attention instead of just reverting their edits, issuing talk page warnings, and reporting the user to be banned.

I understand that the intention is to do something good and helpful. But to be blunt, it pissed me off that multiple people removed what appeared, at least at first glance, to be legitimate comments on my talk page that I was in the process of responding to. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

No, I'll continue reverting these where I see them. The alternative is a steady stream of confused editors when Jinnifer hits them up on their talk page to do proxy editing, which wastes everyone's time. MrOllie (talk) 00:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Also WP:RBI and WP:DENY. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:40, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

FYI, Jinnifer will tend to harrass people indefinitely, including by sending talk page messages on other wikimedia projects that have more lax enforcement than enwiki. It is really best to engage as little as possible. MrOllie (talk) 00:40, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't see what the problem of reverting insincere requests for conversation made by the latest sock puppet of a manipulative vandal who, despite having the conversational skills of a sociopathic toddler, delights in coercing and bullying other editors into becoming accessories to her vandalisms even more than her actual career of vandalism and editwarring to protect her inane personal opinions. But, if you want to preserve her manipulative inanity and thereby mark yourself as a favorite target to be harassed repeatedly, be our guest.--Mr Fink (talk) 03:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

M. F. Husain - vandalism and possible protection

Hello MrOllie, hope you're doing well. Reaching out to you regarding M. F. Husain's page. Firstly, I'd like to thank you for keeping an eye on the page and reverting the vandalism attempts in the recent past. Currently, it looks like the user Veersanatani (not tagging for obvious reasons) is determine to spoil the page, starting right form the name. When I reverted their edits, the user has added their hateful comments on my user page itself, instead of politely asking on my talk page. Just look at the stupidity. Hopefully some due action can be taken in this regard, because they only seem to target Husain's page in particular.

Also, I suggest adding some sort of protection to the page in order to prevent cases like these. It's really sad to see that Husain's incredible artistic career is overshadowed by his controversies, which is also the only thing mentioned on his Wiki page. I'll update the page in due course of time and make it more comprehensive, limiting the controversy part to how much is actually required. However, please do think about adding protection in the meantime. Otherwise, believe me, vandalism cases like these will keep happening from editors in India. The man is dead for years now, maybe we should let him rest in peace, quite literally. DesiBoy101 (talk) 12:46, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I can't really help you with anything that's gone on at your user page. I suggest you report any inappropriate comments to WP:ANI. MrOllie (talk) 12:50, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant taking action on the user's edits to the main article, just like you've warned them about blocking. My user page is not an issue, only wanted to show you the extent of their erratic behavior. Any thoughts on page protection though? Or you'll continue to monitor the article for the same? DesiBoy101 (talk) 13:09, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I might request page protection if it becomes more of a problem, but in my opinion the frequency of vandalism isn't all that high. MrOllie (talk) 13:16, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. It's quite manageable as of now. Alright then, thanks for the help and inputs. DesiBoy101 (talk) 13:21, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm curious about your reverting my edit to Mathematics of Sudoku. Please discuss.
