"Sematary" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Sematary and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 2#Sematary until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Just a heads up

Hi Ponyo, hope you are doing well. I noticed your edits to this page reverting edits made in violation of a ban. I then noticed an IP reverted them and you also reverted them and protected the page. I have looked through the editing history of this IP address and the habits seem very similar to an unrelated user who was recently blocked indefinitely for disruptivly editing. I don’t want to publicly add their username as that could be seen as a personal attack, although since you are very experienced with this behaviour, maybe I could email you the user and IP and you could have a look? That is if you are still not busy of course. If not, no worries, I will take to SPI instead. Have a great day! Blanchey (talk) 20:38, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blanchey: You don't need to email me. If I'm reverting an IP due to block evasion, I know which (if any) accounts they are linked to. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:41, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wait. This isn't the case I thought you were talking about. Go ahead with the SPI.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’m just scared of making a personal attack because all I have got is editing habits are slightly similar, when this happens, I tend to go directly to an admin (like I did here) but if you think that my suspicions on the editing habits warrant an SPI report, I’ll go ahead. Or I can tell you here on talk page?

Blanchey (talk) 20:55, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Making unfounded accusations of socking can be seen as a personal attack; making evidence-based connections between accounts/IPs based on behavioural overlap isn't. Such connections are literally the basis of our SPI system. As a checkuser I don't want you sending me evidence linking accounts and IPs because I can't explicitly link them publicly due to the privacy policy; you could send me the info but I couldn't act on it as a checkuser. SPI is your best best.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:00, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, you have really helped me understand the policy. I will now go straight to SPI and get this sorted. Have a good day, Ponyo

User talk:Allaoi

After you warned the user a bit ago, they have made yet another (whiny) unblock request ("I promise, I will try to contribute as much as possible, but since I don't have much experience, I'm probably going to need an adopter. If you could help with that too, that would be great, but you don't need to. Please just unblock me and I swear, I'll be a good Wikipedian."). Do you have any objection to my removing TPA? They are a hopeless timesink.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:23, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As you wish.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:25, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Down Under LTA again

See here. BilCat (talk) 02:15, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently they didn't get the memo that when I archived the last mega-thread regarding their socking, they were supposed to stop. Anyhoo, I've dealt with the latest IP.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:07, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently not. Also back at Heinkel, Pat Pattle, and AIR-2 Genie. They're using different IPs most of the time, so it's really hard to track them all. And thanks as always. BilCat (talk) 00:17, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And also Gloster Meteor. BilCat (talk) 05:19, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All

Done.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RM made by (now) CU blocked sock

Hi Ponyo. Would you be willing to close this WP:RM made by this (now) CU blocked sock?[1] - LouisAragon (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are support and oppose arguments being made from editors other than the sock, so it would be improper for me to close it (in my opinion). In such instances I generally just strike the sock entries and let the discussion run its course.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:08, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

talk page colors

Hello ponyo first off i want to say I'm sorry for how I treated you a year ago and I'm thoroughly embarrassed about what I did. I was wondering how do I change the color for my talk page link in my signature i have tried to change it in the common.js but I still don't understand how. If you are to busy or this is the wrong place to ask I apologize for distracting you Td^she/her 19:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Thedefender35: Someone at Wikipedia:Help desk could probably guide you through it. Please be mindful of MOS:COLOR when choosing colours.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:02, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

got it thanks :) Td^she/her 20:03, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

My page "Like A Dino!" got deleted, and I want to recover it, but it took me four-five hours and I don't want to do that hard work again. And also, I want to know why it was deleted. Thank you.

Sincerely, MiumiuFromBabybus MiumiuFromBabybus (talk) 05:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MiumiuFromBabybus: I explained why it was deleted on your talk page (it's at the bottom of the page, starting with "Deletion note"). The article made no indicatation of significance for the game and included only primary sources, none of which could be used to even determine if the article would be viable even if it was moved to draft. WP:WEBCRIT provides additional information as to the criteria for inclusion for web content to be included on Wikipedia.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! So, can I do the article again? MiumiuFromBabybus (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MiumiuFromBabybus: Can you tell me which criteria of WP:WEBCRIT it meets? If you can, I will restore it draft and you can work it through the Articles for creation process. Otherwise, it will just be deleted again.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:28, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm... The developer of the game has a website, but hasn't been featured in news, and they didn't even got a single award, and also, they only had their game on the top most played games once. Does this fit? MiumiuFromBabybus (talk) 17:33, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MiumiuFromBabybus: No; the game does not yet meet the notability criteria for inclusion. Before creating an article, please review the relevant notability criteria for the topic you will be writing about. Also, I strongly suggest you use the Articles for Creation process as it will create a draft that can be reviewed by other editors who can help you with referencing etc.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you so much! This was helpful MiumiuFromBabybus (talk) 17:41, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Writing well-sourced articles on notable topics is not easy. Some editors prefer to become more familiar with how Wikipedia works by helping out in areas needing attention first before diving into content creation. Help:Getting started has a ton of information as well you may find useful. Either way, best of luck to you on your Wikipedia adventure.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

quick question

how do you link a specific change that was made to an article like when you link it to "here"? Td ^she ^/her 17:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about a WP:DIFF? Like this, for example?-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:41, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

yes. I'm sorry. I'm terrible at wording the way i think. Td ^she ^/her 17:42, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

could you please report me for vandalism? I can't trust myself with anything at this point. I have so much trouble focusing on a set of things and I get sidetracked so easily and it leads to situations that cause the to get even worse and can lead to others doing dumb things. Td ^she ^/her 19:47, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're not a vandal, just an editor who jumped into the deep end of Wikipedia too quickly. It's common and as long as you're open to listening to what other editors have to say and are willing to learn, you will be able to find your niche here. Editing should be enjoyable, if you find yourself becoming stressed, take a break. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:01, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive edits

Hi! 76.68.3.80 continues to make disruptive edits in International Space Station. What can be done about this situation? Cofcorpse (talk) 16:21, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bbb23 to the rescue.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mnachtrab and more COI editing

After taking a bit of a break after you page blocked Mnachtrab (talk · contribs) from Cassava Sciences for COI disruption, they're now back and removing negative information from one of Cassava's products at Simufilam. Do you think the page block needs adjustment? MrOllie (talk) 22:54, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page is full of biased work. I am simply moving the "controversary" comments to the accusations section vs. redundantly adding it throughout the entire document. I made comments on talk and they are being ignored so I am editing it directly.

The people that edited this page obviously had a conflict of interest against cassava. Mnachtrab (talk) 22:58, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've extended the partial block to include Simufilam per my note on your talk page. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:00, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These pages are VERY biased. I tried the talk page but change requests are being ignored. Please unblock me so I can fix them. They redundantly talk about accusations through these pages and it ruins the story of the company. They story of the drug and the company should be allowed to be told and the accusations should be consolidated in one area. Mnachtrab (talk) 23:14, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
