Syntax correction request
Hello Materialscientist, I'm correcting a tracked syntax error on Wikipedia called the Tidy Font bug*, and one of your protected pages has 7 of these errors, and some other WP:Lint issues. Would you be willing to make the following changes to User:Materialscientist/Awards?
Since there are multiple minor changes, I've done them in my sandbox here. Your current page copied in full on left, proposed changes on right.
These changes correct the tidy font bugs, obsolete tags, a few missing end tags within signatures, and some bogus/contradictory image options.
If these changes meet your approval, just edit the newer version, copy the full page and replace all on User:Materialscientist/Awards.
If you have any issues with the proposed change, we can talk.
(*Tidy font bug is when links are written in the <font>[[link]]</font> format with the color specified outside of the link. Browsers don't agree on how to display the colors for this with some browsers displaying with the specified colors, and others defaulting back to the standard link blue.)
Thank you, Zinnober9 (talk) 16:42, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

IP hostility
Hi. I see you've reverted the hostile talk page edits of 72.234.109.219, which has been a vandalism-only account. The user has also just recently edited my talk page with hostility. I was going to report it for vandalism, but given the nature of the account and their harassment, please consider a block, which they themselves asked for. Lapadite (talk) 16:05, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Michael Bamberger image has broken sizing. Is your revert responsible
When I looked at the page, the image was clearly way too large and broke past the normal bounds (even into the outline on the left-hand side), with the only part of the giant image even visible being to the right of his face (and thus mostly consisting of the background). I was surprised nobody had fixed it. I looked at the history to see what edit might have mistakenly caused this and saw that someone had converted it to a thumb, but you reverted it. Is it possible it displays differently in your browser than others? The current state is clearly unsatisfactory. 208.59.185.238 (talk) 17:47, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

How to unprotect any article
I'm new comer i read lot's of articles to create articles and etc by love to start with problem solving so please suggest how to unprotect any article which is protected by editors. G20norms (talk) 19:45, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker), the easiest way is to request at Request for Page Protection and click Request Unprotection. From your Teahouse posts, I suspect you're talking about Ankit Kumar Pandey which was protected after being recreated over and over. There's a draft article, so unprotection of the main article is unlikely. Instead, you should work on improving the draft which is here- Draft:Ankit Kumar Pandey. Once it's been improved, it can be submitted for review. If it's accepted, they will work with an admin to get the protection removed so the draft can be moved over. The article right now has tone that's very much promotional that needs to go, plus sourcing issues. The image is a copyright violation. There's quite a bit of work needed.

FYI, (70.95.77.186)
Thanks for that block. It seems like mass attacks with open proxy usage has been on the rise lately. There have been some prolific vandals that have resorted to utilizing proxies to mass attack articles all at once, so I've been checking the connections of some of them against VPNGate/SoftEther and ipqualityscore (although 70.95.77.186 was just a run-of the mill vandal that I just so happened to randomly check). Unfortunately, the server certificate expiration date isn't public information (you have to connect to the VPN yourself and then open the connection settings in order to see that information), so you'll just have to take my word for when it expires :-). Anyhow, just FYI... 73.67.145.30 (talk) 05:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Materialscientist,
Why do you delete articles like this as CSD G5, that have been around for years and had so many other contributors besides the page creator sockpuppet? It seems to go against our policy. We don't delete articles that have substantial contributions from editors other than the sockpuppet. There were a number of articles like this tonight. Liz Read! Talk! 06:48, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Like Patrika TV. This had one edit by a sockpuppet and many, many other edits by regular contributors. There was no reason to delete this article along with all of its redirects. Liz Read! Talk! 06:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for comments. Virtually all additions to First India News Rajasthan are from three sockpuppet accounts. Patrika TV was earlier deleted in AFD - it was turned into a redirect, which I have restored. Materialscientist (talk) 07:14, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

REMOVING CONTENTS
@Materialscientist Hi, user @Brlob (Central Auth) is heavily removing contents in pages about countries in the name of reference. Advised them to use maintainance templates such as "citation needed", etc but they won't listen and keeps on doing the same thing. Before I discovered, another user already warned them but won't listen. Would be good if you find a better way to advise them so that they stop or they should find a better way such as leaving templates behind. See their contributions here. Thanks.

ReferenceExpander
Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:06, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Temporary IP unban request for Edit-a-Thon
Hello,
I'm a librarian at the San Diego Public Library and we're doing an Edit-a-thon on [https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/wikipedia-edit-thon-summer-sessions-1 June 26th] and [https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/wikipedia-edit-thon-summer-sessions-0 July 31st] (links to web calendar page). We share our IPs with a university, high school, and have public access computers, so it's perfectly reasonable to have us blocked regularly. Because of that, I'm asking for a temporary lift of the IP [137.164.0.0/16]. (That's what comes up when I try and use the public computers here to create a new account.).
While I ask for our patrons to make new accounts before attending, some of our patrons lack computer access at home or drop in on the day of.
Hopefully this isn't too much of an inconvenience for you. I 100% understand why our IP is banned and why these requests are necessary.

Request for intervention at Havyaka Brahmins
As I wrote on User:Rodw's talk page, the above article was in a mess and I cleaned it up and Wikified it but as I stepped away, the user who was responsible for the article being in a bad shape in the first place (User:Bhavana 777) came back to undo my edits. I have undone that user's edits for now but unlike at Wiktionary, I don't have admin privileges here so I have no way to ensure that user won't come back for an edit war.
A closer look at the person's talk page shows that the user was warned and blocked by you in the past for bad edits to the very same article in question. I think further action is warranted. -- Pulimaiyi (talk) 11:10, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
