Goddess

I liked her. Bring her back. Please. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 08:15, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since it's you, Roxy. But the fly is all yours now (though also crawling around in my archive). Please take good care of it. Bishonen | tålk 08:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I updated my fly before commenting earlier. Put in the transparent background latest version. Also, even though my personal favourite artist isn't featured in your rotating picture gallery, I always pause for a moment whenever the Monet comes up. It has always taken my breath away. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 09:12, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added one by Peder Krøyer and a Turner also now, see what you think when they come up. Who's your favourite artist? Bishonen | tålk 12:26, 3 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

David Hockney rules the roost here, he has such an eye, and has constantly surprised me each time he does something else. I'm not going to refresh the page for your new pics, but shall wait till they happen naturally, it wont take long! - Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 13:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I don't know him well. There's very little by Hockney on Commons, as is natural with a living artist. But if you'd like to add the one that I found there, Roxy, or indeed another image of some kind, to my carousel here, feel free. (Don't add this one, it's fair use only.) Note the instructions at the top of the module, and note, talkpage stalkers, that this offer is extended to Roxy only. Anybody else who'd like to add an image, please ask first. Bishonen | tålk 15:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Cannot say I miss the fly. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:07, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fly wasn't really suitable for Bish, it is far more appropriate on my page.

As to Bish's generous offer to add to the picture gallery there are two reasons I have not accepted the invitation. One, I'd probably banjax the technical editing aspects beyond repair. b) This is Bish's page, and should reflect her taste, not mine, and lastly, I forgot. - Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 17:16, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Udham SIngh

Thanks for restoring the stable version. I would like to request page protection since these caste warriors are active in this article, and they wouldn't discuss in the talk page. I've tried it with this IP/newbie user. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:09, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I see a whole year's semi set by me expired fairly recently. It's the kind of article that needs semi at least, surely, so strongly as people feel about the caste aspect etc. (Even for a caste issue, it just seems strange that anybody cares if this guy was a Kamboj or a Dalit. Perhaps there's something there that I'm not getting.) So, I'll do two years. That's not even in the drop-down menu, but I'm doing it anyway. Thanks for your vigilance, Fylindfotberserk. Bishonen | tålk 20:39, 3 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks ma'am. This caste POV push gets obvious when they'd just rant some anecdotal evidences and original researches, instead of seeking consensus backed by scholarly sources. On top of that they choose to rant everywhere except the section I asked them to discuss in, the one in which we had a consensus. I'd notify you if further disruption occurs in that article. Thanks again

. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please do, Fylindfotberserk. The user I reverted is autoconfirmed now, and I've given them some advice on their page. Bishonen | tålk 10:41, 4 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Yes ofcourse . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:45, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Bosporus

Good morning Bishzilla

through one of your many powers :-) could you please move "The Bosporus" back to its original name? Someone has moved it without discussion. Thank you, Alex2006 (talk) 11:38, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alex, long time! I've moved it back, with a comment on Talk. I didn't actually need to use the fiery breath or other tools — I suppose there was no redirect in the way. But now, if I remember these arcana correctly, it'll need admin tools or a dinosaur to move it again. (I did leave a redirect.) Bishonen | tålk 16:00, 4 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

PS, ha, I see in the deletion log that there was in fact a redirect in the way, which I deleted without even trying, or noticing. Such is the power of the breath of the Zilla! Bishonen | tålk 16:13, 4 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Great, I knew it would be easy for you, thanks! I suppose the delay between my message and yours was due to the fact that you were patrolling the sacred borders of the homeland, which have recently been subject to annoying intrusions from the east... but even they don't stand a chance against you! :-) Buona serata from Zürich in spring mode, Alex2006 (talk) 17:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Republican party

Hi Bishonen, hope you are having a good day. Apparently Nidhiki05 doesn't want to discuss this [1] and has decided to remove a tag [2] without consensus. [3]. I know you have warned them about similar behavior in the past. [4] If you feel this is not an issue feel free to ignore it, otherwise please help us calm this situation down. Thank you. DN (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC) I will be stepping away and will continue the discussion tomorrow. This incident has put me off for the rest of the day. Thanks again and sorry to disturb you. DN (talk) 23:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the template per WP:WTRMT 3: "If it reasonably appears that the template did not belong". I am not sure why this made you so upset. Toa Nidhiki05 23:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is being discussed on talk, Darknipples, so I don't think it needs admin attention right now. Templates are removed all the time, and Republican Party (United States) is an article where intractable differences of opinion play out all the time. So I wouldn't expect the {{misleading}} tag to survive for very long. It seems like a good idea to leave the discussion for a bit and catch your breath. When you return to the article (if you do want to continue to be involved with such a highly contested article ), it seems to me it might be useful to look for sources and either propose a specific textual change on talk, or boldly make a change/make an addition to the lead and see where it goes. I hope you don't let these things worry you too much. Bishonen | tålk 07:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

DS alert

I don't understand your question about DS alert. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 08:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An ARBPIA alert was placed on your talk at 18:34, 15 May 2022 and about an hour later (19:50, 15 May 2022) you started an arbitration enforcement request against the person placing the alert. The question at WP:AE was "Was there any connection, Triggerhippie?" [between the two events in the diffs in this comment]. That is, did one lead to the other? As mentioned at WP:AE, the question was pretty rhetorical as the answer can be inferred, so there is no need to reply now. Johnuniq (talk) 09:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's right. People often take the placing of a DS alert as an unfriendly action, even though it's just for information and says "It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date" (bolding in the original). I was asking if you were thereby inspired to take unfriendly action (an AE report) in return. Bishonen | tålk 10:14, 16 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

No, I started AE after he added and then reinserted a line in an article, which is under 1RR (the rule I thought he broke). His notice on my page didn't influence me posting on AE. Does it matter? --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 10:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. Bishonen | tålk 15:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

TurokSwe rangeblock

Hey, Bishonen. How are you doing? It appears as though TurokSwe has gotten a bit bolder with his socking from his range. He's back to edit-warring, as always. BOTTO_(T•C) 15:31, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add a little blatant vandalism to the mix, as well. BOTTO_(T•C) 15:33, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Botto. That's bad vandalism you link to. I found another, more harmless, instance here. But I don't know — I'm not sure I have any taste for blocking that range again, after reading their block log, with Bishonen all over it. It's been a long time since TurokSwe was blocked. Aren't most of the IP edits all right? Where is the edit warring you mention? And do you have any more examples of vandalism? Maybe it's time you took it to ANI, for more admin eyes. Sorry. Bishonen | tålk 16:05, 16 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I have unburdened you from the weight of the rangeblock.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ip ranting on the talk page

They're more than aware of what talkpages are for, this is their account and they've previously been warned for this type of behavior. For confirmation, see this diff where they say that it's their account. PRAXIDICAE💕 21:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Billy7 is blocked on German Wikipedia by unsachlichen Admins aus politischen Gründen, I note. No surprise there. [Bishonen is distracted by the great German verb concatenations. Diskutiert werden muss! Love it!] Not blocked on en, though. I wonder why Billy stopped using the account here? I do see the warnings, yes. I'll keep it in mind, Prax, though they seem to have given up on Talk:Great Replacement, for the moment at least. Thanks for filling me in on the background.

About changing my username

Hey Bishonen I want to change my username here. I noticed on many Facebook pages, my username has been subjected to attack by people who don't like my edits. In order to avoid issues, i want to do this as soon as possible. Please change it to Vijigishu. Thanks.Heba Aisha (talk) 09:00, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear about the harassment, Heba (but unfortunately not surprised :-(). I'm afraid I can't change your name; special "renamers" do that. See Wikipedia:Changing username.

I have nominated Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status.

UTRS appeal #58923

DeaconShotFire requests unblock. They write,

I understand that I was blocked for rude behaviour and edit warring. I fully admit to doing this. If I am unblocked, I will not begin edit wars or harass other users. I will not engage in this behaviour again. I have a genuine interest in improving Wikipedia, as evidenced by my edit history. I have made significant changes (that are still in place) to lead sections of major articles such as Ronald Reagan and Elizabeth II. I hope to continue improving the lead sections of articles. Another editor stated on my talk page following my indefinite mute that I should be given a chance to appeal it, an editor with whom I made those kinds of major edits.

Would this be acceptable as far as it goes? DO they need a TBAN as an unblock condition? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:06, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, Otocolobus cat looking through the fence window expresses my mood on this matter. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:09, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Roaming Wikipedia to edit lead sections while ignoring the rest of articles is a terrible habit, typical of fly-by editors and those pushing a strong POV. Generally, such editors have no interest in whether or not the statements they add to or remove from the lead are supported and sourced lower down. I'd be more likely to recommend an unblock on condition that the user leaves lead sections alone for say three or six months, in order to learn to edit articles rather than lead sections. As for the "other editor" who thought DSF should be given a chance to appeal the block specifically on their talkpage, yes, I saw that, and I'm not sure why DSF thinks it's a good idea to remind people of it. It was GoodDay showing his good judgment by asking why somebody should have talkpage access removed merely for addressing me as "degenerate". I don't know what the problem is that GoodDay sees with appealing via UTRS — it's not as public a place for posting choice insults, that's all. Otherwise it works the same way. Anyway, if you can carve out conditions for an unblock, Deepfriedokra, it's fine by me. I'm rather taken with the notion of DSF leaving lead sections alone for a time, but you needn't be bound by that. Yes, the Pallas's cat is expressive, isn't it? It would make a good admin. Bishonen | tålk 15:43, 29 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks. I had not considered the poverty of wisdom in that request, seeing only that he seemed to be interested in finding more thin ice. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:51, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I was unaware of you degeneracy. Perhaps some day we should compare notes. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:54, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My degeneracy is expressed in my enjoyment of fake power.[7] I hope you have more fun with yours. Bishonen | tålk 16:09, 29 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Oh, I lernt long ago (and far way) that power is an illusion. That never gets old, btw. Alas, my degeneracy is of a far more personal nature. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:19, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This explains the post (hours ago) on my talkpage. Let the lad go, but give'em a 6-month lead ban. Such a probation will be good & if he messes up? re-ban. PS - If he wants? he can call me a 'degenerate', as I've been called worst. GoodDay (talk) 16:28, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GoodDay, I pinged you only in order to not talk behind your back, I didn't mean it as an invitation to come here for a chat. Bishonen | tålk 17:01, 29 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

DSF is a four time loser. The fourth being insulting a user after being blocked. Time for a root cause analysis and a tailored action plan. Firstly, DSF needs to be able to identify alternatives to edit warring and lashing out. Then we can work toward other behavior issues. FWIW, I think there are already a number of admins who already channel Pallas cat. Oh,'tis the link never gets old. Not the old saw. You might want to find a suitable frame and hang it on your wall.

Requesting Admin action: topic banned user back (right after the ban is over) and active on the same articles

Hi Bishonen.. I am aware that you may not be in a position to take action in such caste related stuff. I would like to ping RegentsPark, Doug Weller, Vanamonde93 so that they can have a look at Nobita456's recent edits right after the ban period is over. Nobita was topic banned for 3 months considering their excessive interest on Baidya/Bengali Kayastha rivalry and persistent disruptive edits on the consensus versions of these two articles (apart from related ones)! Since Nobita is an extended confirmed user, they have again resumed their old agenda related to these two protected articles. Would request all admins active on this talk page to review their recent edits and take suitable action in accordance with the objective of the topic ban imposed earlier. Thanks & Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 12:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi admins, I would also like to request you to please check my edits as requested by Ekdalian. This is a content dispute and I think an experienced editor like LukeEmily is well capable to solve this matter. That's why I asked for his help. LukeEmily also agreed with me on the Bengali Kayastha talk page. Not only lukeEmily but Satnam and Chanchaldm also gave their opinion in favor of mine. I think this is not a big issue. My previous topic ban was unfortunate and has nothing to do with this as in three months I learned edit war has no value in Wikipedia thanks to you guys. Nobita456 (talk) 13:21, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A fit case for indeffing as a SPA. Stayed low for three months (about 20 minor edits) and came back to edit-war. This particular proposal has been discussed to death at the talk-page. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:17, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and file a SPA. Edit war? but where? TB please check the edit summary of every edit. Nobita456 (talk) 14:36, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Waves at Bish. Climbs back into deep fryer. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is above my paygrade. But I will say to Nobita: there's no need to go off half-cocked because you're called an SPA. It means "single-purpose account", and there's nothing to "file" about. Do you deny being a single-purpose account? Bishonen | tålk 16:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I will definitely edit more articles. Thanks. Nobita456 (talk) 17:02, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Varna in lead

Hello Bishonen now TB and Ekdalain are breaking sitush's caste article rules check here. they are mentioning the controversial Varna in the lead of Baidya article. Nobita456 (talk) 18:57, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nobita456: This is better discussed on the article talk page. Regardless of the "rules", if you find yourself reverted by a couple of editors, you should open a discussion on the article talk page rather than edit war on the article. Discussion and consensus forming is always your best option. --RegentsPark (comment) 19:11, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RegentsPark this rule was made by sitush way before, TB doing the same thing again and again. LukeEmily also told TB about that. Nobita456 (talk) 19:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. When reverted, you should use the article talk page to make a case for your content. --RegentsPark (comment) 19:15, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Already did that in TB talk page. He is not following the rules also His attitude is not good. we need an admin in this. Nobita456 (talk) 19:17, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested TB to avoid varna in the lead. Nobita, you may check the revised version by TB now and use the article talk page for any further concern. Ekdalian (talk) 19:26, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

:::::: He is not listening to any of us. changing the consensus version as he owns the article. Ekdalian please revert him. I am on verge of the 3RR rule. Nobita456 (talk) 19:31, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Asking someone to revert so you don't hit 3rr is just as bad, if not worse than doing it yourself, especially considering you're asking this on multiple pages. PRAXIDICAE💕 19:32, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question about stalking

Since evidently noticing me at Kelly Loeffler, User:Reywas92 has been very obviously WP:HOUNDING my edits. I don't recall experiencing this before. Could you give me some pointers on how to deal with this? Thanks. Marquardtika (talk) 23:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch. While I hesitate to invite User:Reywas92 to my page (I was hoping to walk away and ignore, considering the tone they've taken against me,[8]) they should preferably not be discussed without being pinged, so I have now done that. This is not an invitation to post here, Reywas, and I hope you won't; it's merely an FYI. Marquardtika, you both edit a lot, so this is a little unmanageable for me. Could you please provide diffs for where Reywas has followed you to pages they had not previously edited? If it is indeed obvious, I will act. Bishonen | tålk 07:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Sure, thanks. So here they undid my edit at Kelly Loeffler. They then headed over to J.D. Vance, which they had never edited before, to undo a recent edit of mine. They then headed over to Herschel Walker, which they had previously edited, again to undo a recent edit of mine. Then it was onto John Fetterman, which they had never edited before, where they made this edit. Then, finally, to Angie Craig, which they had never previously edited, to again undo a recent edit of mine. This cannot be coincidental, and seems instead to be some sort of revenge campaign or intimidation tactic undertaken after getting all caps BULLSHIT angry at me at Kelly Loeffler over what is, in fact, an incredibly boring dispute over whether readers need to know the name of her castle or what have you. Anyway, thank you for taking a look. Marquardtika (talk) 15:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's amazing that my modest edit at Kelly Loeffler has blossomed into all this aggression, with edit warring and hounding. But since it did indeed all follow from an edit I made, I don't think I'd better take any admin action. Instead, I've taken it to ANI. Take a look, Marquardtika, and see if you want to add anything. Bishonen | tålk 17:39, 8 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you for pursuing this, I appreciate it. Reywas92 has apologized (on the noticeboard thread you started), and I have accepted the apology. I don't think any further action is needed at this time. Marquardtika (talk) 13:52, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian peace music is "on" today, with the conductor! - Pentecost (on last Sunday and Monday in Germany) brought a rich harvest of great music in two church services (one with me singing in choir) and two concerts with my brother in the orchestra, - four pictures I took besides the symphonic one. Did you watch the violinist's story? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:47, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Gerda! Bishonen | tålk 07:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

My song collection is especially rich, look, and the hall where I first heard DFD, Pierre Boulez and Murray Perahia. Do you find the baby deer in the meadow (last row)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:23, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush7

Sitush7 appears to impersonate another Wikipedia user. Thoughts? Dr.Pinsky (talk) 18:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Dr.Pinsky. Thank you for your vigilance, but I don't think we can do anything about this username, even though it's a little unfortunate since the original Sitush is so well-known and respected in discussions of Indian articles. I was already discussing it with some Indian admins, and when I get a more definite reply from them, I'll probably ask the "new Sitush" (whose name is after all clearly distinguished from the original) if they'd be kind enough to change their username. Bishonen | tålk 07:31, 12 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

FYI, Dr.Pinsky, a sockpuppet investigation has been opened. I think we'll be able to block any further "Situshes" on sight. Bishonen | tålk 06:48, 13 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I swear, I become aware of more SPIs from watching this talkpage than from watching the actual SPI feed. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 07:19, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: I'm not sure I agree with closing the SPI, this is likely part of a much larger farm and it may be beneficial to run a CU to find the right master and/or the other socks. Unfortunately, I've been away to long to identify the correct farm. —SpacemanSpiff 12:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SpacemanSpiff: Thanks for the ping. I looked into this a bit further to see if there was anyone worth endorsing against (as I'm loath to send a CU fishing anywhere on the subcontinent); Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Muhammadahmad79 jumped out based on this last year, but I see that angle was CU'd in May without a conclusive technical result (and I tend to agree with RoySmith that the writing styles are a bit different). If you can think of another master to check against, I'm open to endorsing; or, if you think the totality of their editing behavior adds up to an indef rather than the tempblock I gave for socking, I don't object. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 22:00, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am still confident that Muhammadahmad79 is the actual sockmaster. Compare this edit with that of this new sock.[9] Both are adding the image of Muhammad Ali Jinnah "wearing a Sherwani and Jinnah Cap" and just above another image which was captioned as "[[Fatima Jinnah]] is also wearing a female Sherwani". 1 month block was beyond lenient. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 00:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: Like I said, I haven't been active for a while, so I haven't kept up with the sock farms over the past year or so. Anyway, if it is a sock, the disruption will be revealed soon and a non-sock indef may happen. —SpacemanSpiff 14:11, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

European Colonization of the Americas

This went nowhere fast.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I should not be blocked from this because two guys set me up. They do have bad faith motives. They are bullying me. As an an Italian Ameriucan Catholic disabled perosn, I represent many voices on this page. You cannot just unilaterally block me from trying to correct the bias here. I am the one who asked for help in the first place. To whom do I appeal this? You cannot be the final authority as one administrator? Why do you tyake DeCausa and Doug Weller's side over mine? There are veyr few Italian American, Catholic, or disabled editors here. Wikipedia discirmiantes against us. I use my really name. You can look me up. I am asking you to please unblock me. I should be allowed to edit one word from an article without being blocked. Who is your superior adminsitrator? You cannot be the final say? The article pushes a point of view. Why am I not allowed to fix that? I had not tried to edit it in months. I should not get penalzied for all the months that I did not edit it? I am begging you to unblock me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbinetti (talk • contribs) 23:06, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know how to request being unblocked. You gave me the information, but I could not figure it out. My disabilities do come into play here. Cbinetti (talk) 23:18, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see Muboshgu fixed the unblock request template for you. The reason it needs to be in a specific template is that the template calls an uninvolved administrator to the page to review your request. I see this has already happened (Muboshgu did it themselves), and the request has been declined. That's unsurprising, since in the request, you double down on the one comment I singled out for criticism in my block rationale. How has anybody been bullying you for being Italian, or Catholic, or disabled? When you made that comment on the article talkpage, how was anybody supposed to even know you were these things, to bully you for it? You were opposed (not bullied) for arguing in an unreasonable way, nothing else. Your nationality, religion, and state of health aren't Wikipedia's business. You only make yourself look more unreasonable by insisting those qualities were the reason. Doug Weller and De Causa have abided strictly by our policy WP:No personal attacks and its important dictum Comment on content, not on the contributor. You should do the same, and stop ascribing bad motives to people you know nothing about. Those aspersions violate both our policy WP:No personal attacks and our important guideline Wikipedia: Assume good faith, and you can be blocked sitewide if you persist in them further. Bishonen | tålk 07:39, 12 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

This is classical bullying and blaming the victim. I need this block unblocked. I tried to edit one inaccurate word from one article, I was bullied. I begged for your help and you retaliated against me for citing illegal discrimination. I have every right to edit inaccurate and misleading ideology in a fact-based history article. They attacked me personally but you do not give them trouble. They push a point of view but only I got in trouble. This is manifestly illegal for a public accommodation to do. Cbinetti (talk) 21:29, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I already apologized to you, but I will do so again. I do not know if you were the administrator who blocked me and the one who refused my appeal, but I need you to unblock me. I have already asked for mediation with Robert McLennon and apologized to everyone, however DeCausa is still bullying me. You only saw the data but you did not see the whole story. I came to you for help and then you blocked me. Are you not curious as to my side? I have a solution for the European Colonization of the Americas page. Please respond to my honest entreaties for mediation. /s/ cbinetti Cbinetti (talk) 22:37, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P-block needed

NebulaOblongata is too invested in WikiIslam. cc: @Doug Weller: TrangaBellam (talk) 09:30, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some might perceive it to be poor form to appeal for a p-block against a user when you are engaged in open content disputes with them (i.e, 1, 2). I would have appreciated receiving a notice about this appeal to p-block me out of sheer courtesy. I am glad I happened to snoop on TrangaBellam's contributions to come across this appeal.

I would appreciate TrangaBellam engaging in meaningful discussions before attempting to enforce retaliatory punitive action against me. This is upsetting and creates needless hostility.

What does TrangaBellam mean by "too invested"? I would like to know. Also, is being "too invested" in an article grounds for p-blocking? Furthermore, I have already clarified on my Talk page to another user that I have zero connections with WikiIslam.

I am happy to defend my case and provide administrators support with whatever information they need (within acceptable limits).
I have recently increased my editing activity on Wikipedia due to abundant free time on my hands lately, in case anyone is interested in my personal life and motivations.

Sincerely,
NebulaOblongata (talk) 11:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fwiw, P-block means partial block. And, every puppet claimed to us about having no connection to WikiIslam till they got blocked. TrangaBellam (talk) 12:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because puppets have claimed to having no connection to WikiIslam, it doesn't give you the right to assume that I am guilty of what you accuse me of. Please read guilt by association as an ad hominem fallacy. NebulaOblongata (talk) 12:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I hope you are doing good. I am reaching out to you regarding this draft that was protected in 2016. I gathered a lot more sources after that time and created a new draft and went to deletion review. It was decided that the draft should be allowed for the review.

Regarding Bengali Wikipedia

Hi Bishonen.. I was just going through Hindi and Bengali Wikipedia to check whether the same kind of POV pushing exists there as well. Hindi is somewhat okay; but the Bengali one seems to be a complete mess with users like Dr.SunBD's contributions (hope you remember, now blocked) and Nobita456 still active there! I am not sure whether these Projects (English Wikipedia & Bengali/Hindi Wikipedia) are completely separate or somewhat related; need your advice! I understand that most of these articles were created in Bengali Wikipedia (mass creation) using bot several years ago, and seems to have been edited mostly by POV pushers. For example, Vaidyabrahmin was redirected by you (after a lot of POV pushing & discussions), but the same exists there as it is in Bengali Wikipedia, here created by the same user User:Dr.SunBD!! When I tried to redirect the same, I was reverted since the users active there are not aware of the consensus here in English Wikipedia. Same applies for the article on Baidya --> BengaliVersion, Kayastha --> BengaliVersion last edited by Nobita, Sengupta --> BengaliVersion, Nobita's contributions, also Dasgupta --> BengaliVersion, Nobita again & other blocked users/socks, same for Gupta --> BengaliVersion edited by Nobita and/or blocked socks, Bengali Brahmin --> BengaliVersion, misinformation added by Nobita. Honestly speaking, I don't have the time and energy to fight against this kind of misinformation (by blocked users in English Wikipedia), by arriving at a fresh consensus there in Bengali Wikipedia! Can we do something about this? Please suggest.. Thanks & Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 09:12, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I don't think we can, Ekdalian. The national wikipedias are completely separate. It sounds quite Herculean to do something about those POV-pushing users that we know so well from their exploits here. And we also know how determined and defensive some of them can be, so I certainly don't blame you for not having the energy to dive in. Do you want to add something to our article Bengali Wikipedia? Mind you, you'd need reliable sources — discussion in secondary sources — not just your own knowledge. That may be hard to come by. Sorry. Bishonen | tålk 10:13, 21 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

(talk page watcher) Ekdalian, I read the comments on your bnwiki talk page. As noted by Yahya on your talk page, guidelines/policies on one language Wikipedia isn't valid on another language Wikipedia unless the local community vets it. Yahya notes that you can, however, start a local community discussion. The proper location for that should be bn:উইকিপিডিয়া:আলোচনাসভা or the talk page of concerned article. Global action can sometimes be taken, through RfC on metawiki: but that typically requires local community discussion first that has been wrongly decided. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 10:41, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq Thanks for mentioning.

Hello all, I do not have enough knowledge about the articles mentioned here and I do not know which lines are correct / incorrect in the Bengali version. As CX Zoom said, Please start discussion on the article's talk page there and please explain which line are wrong and why.

Ekdalian you are native Bengali speaker and can write Bengali (also there are many free tools to type Bengali), i was little bit surprised when i saw you never contributed on Bengali wikipedia before yesterday. I encouraged you yesterday, I will encourage you now, if possible please regularly contribute on Bengali wikipedia, we don't have many contributor there especially from West Bengal. There are many options. In this case, you can translate e.g. Bengali Brahmin (i briefly looked, it has better content and source) to Bengali wiki. In this way you can easily resolve this & also help bnwiki. Also please don't vanish from bnwiki after this. Thank you :) আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 16:56, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

if copyright was the issue then why u removed all the sources as well which were added by me

You are being biased, i dont know why, user peacepks also vandalised karan caste page and routray surname page as well, u did'nt do anything about it but reverted my edits really disappointed AuthenticSources2546 (talk) 20:59, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is vandalism according to you ? Adding sources is Vandalism ! And anyone can read the info of your source in Routray page. You're playing in grey Area despite getting copyright violation notice before. Also abusing admin without any proof is another mistake. Peacepks (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did'nt abuse u, i was stating facts, if he would have been neutral he would have reverted your edits as well and not removed my sources, anyway i dont want to argue u very well know what you have done..good luck, i just went through the khandayat page and u not only removed sources that were added by me but also previous sources which were part of the article from the very start based on consensus. Bishonen being an admin supported u, not expected AuthenticSources2546

(talk) 20:59, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Read the wikipedia policies before criticise Me or Bishonen. No one supported me. It's you who is playing on grey area & decide what is right or Wrong !

Thank You Peapks (talk) 21:28, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Bishonen why u did such kind of an act being an administrator, restore the page to it's authentic page as it was done by sitush, all the sources which were there on the article from the very start as per previous consensus should be there, also u mass removed my sources citing copyright, but if copyright was the issue u should not have removed all the sources which were added by me, you have commited grave injustice to a fellow wikipedian. AuthenticSources2546 21:28, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both sitush & I discussed on the improvement of the article. Sitush didn't removed my edits because it was authentic. While you're playing in grey area and engage in edits according to your own perception without caring about Wikipedia Policies. So I reverted your edits and admin Bishonen also did the same thing. There is nothing wrong in it. Peacepks (talk) 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Simple thing if copyright is the issue then why mass remove sources u also removed sources concerning shudra varna as per previous concensus, just dont lie go through the page bishonen if u want to verify AuthenticSources2546 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear administrator please also go through the history of karan caste page, you will get to know that this user peacepks was vandalising the page and adding emojis to mock me. So my question is should such kind of activities be allowed in a highly reputed platform like wikipedia AuthenticSources2546 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See now he is not replying coz he knows what he has done such things on a public platform like wikipedia, he also removed sources from the karan caste page as well alongwith his emoji vandalism, he also removed sources from routray page as well,he also added unsourced content to gajapati empire a month back, go through the history of this user bishonen you'll get to know what kind of an editor he is AuthenticSources2546 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bishonen u can also go through his talk page, sitush had warned him a long time back regarding his edits in caste related pages, he also removed sources from karan caste page alongwith emoji vandalism not only that he also removed sourced content from routray page alongwith sources, he also added unsourced content to gajapat empire page a month back, go through his history you will know what kind of an editor he is. AuthenticSources2546 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He also mass removed content from bhoi dynasty page alongwith sources, u could go through the history of the page to verify. AuthenticSources2546 21:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I wasn't around for this; it was night in my part of the world. To both of you: adding sources wasn't the issue (even though the way AuthenticSources has relied on Google Books is a problem in itself); repeatedly adding copyrighted text was. AuthenticSources, you ignored all warnings about copyright violations, and all explanations about how important copyright is to Wikipedia. You have been blocked for two weeks.

Severe Regular Copyright Violation

Hi Bishonen, the user user:AuthenticSources2546 done another large copyright violation in Khandayat page. Despite 2 Warnings before for Copyright Violation, the above user simply don't care about Wikipedia policy and Admin's warning. He reverted your edit & did the same mistake again. His previous edits on other pages are also full of similar Wikipedia policy violation. Can you please do something about this ? Thanks Peacepks (talk) 22:17, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no copyright violation ive just represented the information as it is mentioned in sources while you are representing the information in a distorted manner, also why remove sources if copyright is the issue alongwith previous consensus sources which were there from the very start, stop your disruptive editing you have been exposed, bishonen u can go through the khandayat page to verify this user has mass removed content alongwith sources ,he also remove previous consensus source and information which was there in the article from the very start AuthenticSources2546 22:17, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear admin u can also go through his talk page where admin sitush had warned him of citing sources badly and representing the information contained in them in their distorted manner ignoring neutrality, u could go through the history of khandayat page he has done the same thing there alongwith removing reliable sources and creating fake summaries to confuse other editors.

Concern about another editor, what’s your perspective?

Hi Bishonen,

Thank you for standing up to Moxy, who has been doing all kinds of passive-aggressive WikiBullying lately. The user's behavior and profanity does not surprise me. Likewise, it might not surprise you to learn that the user has caused many problems at the US article and its talk page including, but not limited to: leaving a nonsense comment that led to a full-blown edit war with multiple admin combatants and ultimately led to unnecessary 2-week protection of a talk page, and the user has not even once acknowledged responsibility for the comment or made any attempt to remove it; and also abusing their rollback tool (while ironically boasting on their user page about having never been blocked) by recklessly smashing over multiple clearly productive edits with zero explanation of any merit-based reasons why those edits don’t belong. User was also called out for being a dictator there, by a very experienced editor with multiple editing privileges too; and was also seen blocking a discussion of editors working to repair a major 7-week rollback. Perhaps you might be interested to take a look at some of the recent activity at the US article and its talk page.

I’m also not surprised at the Saudi Arabia vandalism, as the general tone of that article is poorly biased and hate-based, which is evident in many of the backstage talk discussions there too.

Overall, this pattern of behavior might merit yet another trip to ANI (which would be the user's third this month, the most recent in which the user was recently caught trying to tag team).

Anyways, thank you for your consideration.

P.S. The US article and talk page have been very crazy lately, so if you haven’t been around there, you could be a set of neutral eyes for the recent activity over the past few weeks.

P.S.S. The mass censorship of the user’s own talk page is also very suspicious, like they’re trying to hide unscrupulous activity. 24.4.185.224 (talk) 12:31, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, IP. My sole encounter with Moxy was unpleasant enough — I don't feel like researching or engaging them, and might not even be altogether neutral if I did. You can take your concerns to ANI if you like. Advice: if you do, and if there have been other relevant ANI reports recently, you should link to them, not just gesture at them. Permanent links, please, see Wikipedia:Simple diff and link guide for how to create those. (It's dead easy.) And generally provide diffs for any accusations you make (see the same guide page). Diffs are useful and help the reader assess the situation, unlike links for things like "WikiBullying" and "Tag teaming" — those are frankly more likely to annoy the reader. So is your P.S.S.; Moxy is allowed to remove stuff from their own page, so that's nothing. Bishonen | tålk 13:26, 28 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Garbatella

Hallo Bishonen, if you have a moment, could you take a look at the Garbatella article? There is an editor who keeps removing sourced content (I am the second editor who has been trying to restore it in the last 24 hours) pretending that the source is not reliable, and refuses to go on the talk page. The funny thing is that the removed information is in the universal domain (Garbatella is with Monte Sacro one of the two Roman "garden cities" built in th 1920's), but since he has never heard of it and "lives there" then he keep deleting it. Moreover, he breached the 3-RR Rule. Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 12:10, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Alex, but it's a pity you didn't give them an edit warring warning. You can do that with Twinkle, or by placing {{subst:uw-ew}} on their page.

Luckily I'm in Helvetia Felix now, where it was 12° this morning (but it rains like during the monsoon), so actually I took pity on him, because in Rome these days it's 40 degrees (and 25° as a low, which is much worse) and I suppose that's a (partial) excuse for what he wrote. Tomorrow I'll add some more sources there, although the existent one should be enough. Cheers,Alex2006 (talk) 18:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IP block of 92.16.15.253

Hi Bishonen! I hope you're having a great weekend! I was looking through Special:BlockList and I noticed that you had recently set an indefinite block on 92.16.15.253. I think this block should only be temporary, maybe a few months or longer. As you know, we want to avoid setting indefinite blocks on IP addresses. To adhere to best practices, can we put an expiration onto this block? :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:30, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, Oshwah. The idea was for the block to point them to their talkpage; but in case they still never respond, of course time-limited is better. Changed to six months. Bishonen | tålk 19:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Serious admin attention required

User Peacepks has mass removed content from multiple pages alongwith sources, he removed almost everything from Karan caste page, such activities could lead to serious social friction, please restore the content back to it's previous state, the content he removed from these pages had been approved by multiple editors and was present in those pages for months, such mass removal of content really harms articles, I'm taking up this matter to other admins too, karan caste page needs more protection. Liontiger250 (talk) 03:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He mass removed content from already protected pages, caste pages to be specific such disruptive editing could have serious consequences, please take a look at chasa caste page as well he mass removed sourced content and has also placed unsourced content to related groups, this kind of an activity is not at all acceptable in a public platform like wikipedia, im lodging a complaint now, please if u can resolve this matter do it soon, such activities have serious consequences. Liontiger250 (talk) 03:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you don't know but it's a wikipedia policy to delete the edits of a blocked ID. Your edits seems like you operated that blocked ID User:AuthenticSources2546. You're also giving threat of legal complaint. Admin must take action on this id as well. Peacepks (talk) 04:20, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mass removal of sourced content and sources is not wiki policy also the edits were constructive contrary to what you are saying, u have mass removed content from almost all pages , and placed unsourced content in the related groups section of chasa caste defaming communities. Liontiger250 (talk) 03:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just went through the history of this particular user, in fact almost all his edits are connected to caste related stuff, u can take a look at his edit log and if I'm not wrong he got warnings too in his talk page regarding his disruptive edits to caste related pages, strict action should be taken against such editors.

Featured Article Save Award for Palladian architecture

There is a Featured Article Save Award nomination at Wikipedia talk:Featured article review/Palladian architecture/archive2. Please join the discussion to recognize and celebrate editors who helped assure this article would retain its featured status. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:51, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What a good idea to recognize editors who do this work, Sandy. I see Z1720 came up with it, and you were also instrumental right from the start. Bishonen | tålk 07:21, 30 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Yes, it was Z's baby, but I ran with it. The good news has been it has encouraged many more editors to work towards saving stars. The less-than-good news is that not all of those editors understand FA standards, so sometimes we see FARs dragging on forever, as someone intends to save the star, but doesn't have the ability. It's hard to know at what point we should call a spade and get them shut down. So, we're seeing many more saves--and saves of important high-view articles (James Joyce, Climate change, Earth, Speed of light, J. K. Rowling, etc)--but some very long FARs that are backlogging the page because of good intentions towards a save. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

Hi Bishonen. Thank you for your time!

Journal notability

I've noticed that this is not an isolated issue. There are a lot of 1 or 2 sentence Lugnuts-esque stubs on Wikipedia dedicated to academic journals, which are indexed at List of scientific journals. Take for instance Cretaceous Research or Gondwana Research, which I would consider representative of most academic journal articles. Is there anything interesting to say about these journals other than their self-declared mission statement and impact factor? Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:53, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sock, again!

Hello Bishonen & Ivanvector, this is regarding the sockmaster User:Nikhil Srivastava, who has abused multiple accounts, please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nikhil Srivastava. The last discussion here related to such scocks is this. Possibly, User:Wearsome studies was the last sockpuppet, who was recently blocked. Can you please check the edits of కాయస్థ శిరోమణి, whose user name resembles that of another sock from the same sockfarm User:קייאסטה שירומאני! Please have a look at these differences - 1 and 2. Would request you to take necessary action! Thanks & Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 18:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Ekdalian. Unfortunately Ivanvector hasn't edited for 3 months — I'm hoping that's just a long break, but who knows — and also is no longer a CheckUser. I see the similarity between your diffs,[22][23] and it convinces me that Wearsome studies and కాయస్థ శిరోమణి are one and the same, i. e. that they're both socks of Nikhil Srivastava. I've consequently blocked and tagged కాయస్థ శిరోమణి, and added the account to the SPI. Bishonen | tålk 20:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

DS

Hello! I happened to see that you placed Paulistafan under a topic ban for BLPs. However, I do not believe that they were formally aware of DS for BLPs (or any topic, for that matter). Was there something I am missing? FWIW, I agree that it was an appropriate sanction! House Blaster^talk 03:20, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Look at their talkpage. Cullen328 notified them on July 17. Acroterion (talk) 03:46, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC I saw the three edits in a row made by Cullen, which I (incorrectly) assumed were edits to the same section. I checked this edit and did not see a DS alert being added. Again, sorry about the confusion! House Blaster^talk 20:17, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Serendipitously, the very Cullen328 himself has written an essay on mobile editing which may interest you: User:Cullen328/Smartphone editing. Bishonen | tålk 20:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I don't make quite such a deal out of smartphone editing as Cullen328, but like him I do a large proportion of my editing on a smartphone, and there was a long period when I did virtually all of my editing on one. His essay covers a whole lot of points, but to me by far the biggest one is that you don't want to do it using the mobile interface. Switching to the desktop interface on a smartphone is about 20 times better for reading the encyclopaedia, and 1,000 times better for editing. The "mobile" interface is one of the many features of Wikipedia which would be better consigned to history. JBW (talk) 20:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Little Mermaid (character)

Hello, if I make a article with this name for the main character of The Little Mermaid By Hans Christian Andersen; There is no problem in terms of notability? What about other policies and guidelines? تیرتاوافن (talk) 12:03, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a friendly talk page watcher, with some advice, تیرتاوافن. The main article, The Little Mermaid, already seems to contains a lot of information on the character. If you feel there's enough independent material to support a comprehensive article on the character alone (and it doesn't exist anywhere), then go to WP:AFC, and start working on a draft. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 12:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I see, the mermaid character is famous; with all due respect to you, I think that not only is this character famous but it deserves its own article; there are many things that could be written in that article, like the characters that are adapted from this character and Many other things, just because my English literacy is not so good, I ask from your to helping me for complete this article. Say tirtawafen instead of تیرتاوافن. تیرتاوافن (talk) 13:20, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A good article depends on the sources. Find them first, and start a draft. A lot of my contributions on Wikipedia are devoted to improving the English of material added by foreign language speakers. If you can find the reliable sources, then I'll help you write the article. But you have to start it. You don't have to do it all at one time. Just do your best. I've assisted with article creation for years, and the AfC volunteers can help too. We're here to encourage you to contribute, not to discourage it. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 13:26, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Thank you very much. Now where should I start? تیرتاوافن (talk) 13:48, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Check out these links: WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and try editing a quick test article with WP:The Wikipedia Adventure. Those three pages will teach you how to start an article. But start it using the link in WP:AFC, so other editors can help. If you have any specific questions, I can help you with that. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 13:55, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do it. Draft:The Little Mermaid (character), it's just very minor and it's not even clear what the character's name should be. تیرتاوافن (talk) 14:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

تیرتاوافن, Symmachus Auxiliarus gives you good advice. Note also that we already have an article about the perhaps most famous version of the character: The Little Mermaid (statue). Bishonen | tålk 14:22, 14 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I mean the character in the tale of Hans Christian Andersen, not a statue, we have an article for a famous character in Disney that is adapted from this character, but that character is in Disney's The Little Mermaid and this character is in Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. تیرتاوافن (talk) 14:45, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uh.. not a statue? The statue in Copenhagen is meant as a portrait of the mermaid in Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale, as you'll see if you follow my link to the article. Bishonen | tålk 15:34, 14 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Respectfully, but this article is for the statue and I don't think there is any problem for making a article for The Little Mermaid. تیرتاوافن (talk) 16:45, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We're at cross purposes. I'm not talking about problems, I just mentioned the statue as an interesting fact that you might want to refer to in your new article. Never mind, just forget it. Bishonen | tålk 20:11, 14 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]
