Thank you for assistance with this IP address/proxy. How does one view a filter log? Regards, Yamaguchi先生 17:32, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamaguchi先生: No problem. If you check the list of contributions of a user, there's a "filter log" link at the top. You can also enter the username/IP at Special:AbuseLog. Finally, and pardon me for advertising my own work, but there is a script called MoreMenu that will supply a bunch of links on all pages. On any given user page you'll have links to all the user's logs. That script does require you use the vector skin, though. Hope this helps. — MusikAnimal talk 17:38, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that I have never looked at that feature before. I will have to take a look at MoreMenu as well. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 17:41, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from Suniesideup81

Hi Musik Animal

I was the one who added the information to Insulin lispro earlier. I added the edits before signing in as user: 29 October 2014‎ 64.54.15.150 29 October 2014‎ 64.54.15.150 29 October 2014‎ 64.54.212.134

I deleted the content bc I want to edit it further. Please stop putting back what I am removing.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suniesideup81 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Suniesideup81: A valid edit summary explaining what you are trying to do is all we need. Blanking sourced content is a common form of vandalism, and if patrollers didn't revert these removals half of the wiki would be gone. I see you tried to use an edit summary at one point, but ClueBot reverted it, and the bot did not take into account your edit summary. Anyway, if you are trying to move things around or reword content, you can do so all in one edit. The preview feature may be of help. Sorry for the confusion. — MusikAnimal talk 17:37, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from 217.196.231.29

RICHARD MOONEY

This biography should not be included as the author is the journalist himself and he neither renowned or well-known in the journalism industry. He is currently a student in Taiwan.

Thanks S

@217.196.231.29: I have checked the article, and it does seem to have several problems, including having references that are not verifiable. I have tagged the article with the issues, so that they may be fixed in the future. Thanks for your effort, but in the future, please do not remove content without explanation because it is frequently interpreted as vandalism.

Hello from johnnyg128

Hi, again I am requesting that you fix the edits to the Cultural Marxism page. Today it had been edited to meet the political ideologies of a self proclaimed Marxist user. The user had edited the page to make it seem as though an offshoot of Marxism was only a conspiracy theory. On Wikipedia, we like to keep articles neutral, especially ones dealing with sensitive social issues. Please revert the article back to its former state before all of today's nonsense. Thank you for understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyg128 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnnyg128: The edit war seems to go back quite a ways. It's too difficult to determine what should be what. Please request any changes you wish to make and a patrolling admin will respond to them. Just click on view source and there is a button to request an edit. Best — MusikAnimal talk 23:20, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kensington Club

Hi Music Animal,

I deleted the section because it is factually inaccurate and slanderous. I know nothing about editing Wikipedia, but the article in its current form has no business existing. Not to say it should be deleted entirely, but many of the so called facts are concocted and potentially damaging to the continued reputation of the club.

GA Cup - Round 2

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - Round 2

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Jaguar took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 238. In a tight race for second, Peacemaker67 and Ritchie333 finished second and third with 152 and 141 points, respectively.

Two users have scored the maximum five bonus points for article length (60,000 characters+). Anotherclown reviewed Spanish conquest of Yucatán (77,350 characters) and MrWooHoo reviewed Communist Party of China (76,740 characters). The longest review was by Bilorv who reviewed Caldas da Rainha. The review was approximately 22,400 characters which earned s/he two bonus points (20, 000 - 29, 999 characters).

In Round 1, 117 reviews were completed, making the first round of the GA Cup a success! A total of 86 articles were removed from the backlog during the month of October! We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible.

To qualify for the second round, one completed review was needed, which 28 users accomplished. Participants have been randomly put into 7 pools of 4; the top 2 in each pool will move onto Round 3. There will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 15th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on November 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here

Also, remember that a major rule change will go into affect starting on November 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 displayed a weakness in the rules, which we are correcting with this new rule. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: Your review must provide feedback/suggestions for improvement, and then you must wait until the nominator has responded and all issues/suggestions have been resolved before you can pass the article. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule.

Good luck and remember to have fun!

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

About Page Protection for User:ClueBot NG/AngryOptin

Hi MusikAnimal!

I saw that you have declined the page protection request for User:ClueBot NG/AngryOptin and I would like to further explain myself. I understand that there have been few cases of vandalism there and that ClueBot may possibly be watching that page itself, but I would like to explain what I meant by "vandalism" for that page: Usually, users add specific pages to the list to prevent vandalism. However, if vandals are able to remove the pages from that list, that list would not be very useful.

Moreover, going to the "users listing their user page" part, it seems like ClueBot actually does not watch user pages at all, because there has not been a single edit from ClueBot on the user namespace. (A search returns "Database Error".) (Correction: There are no edits to main user pages, only users' sub pages.) One chief example is User:Jimbo_Wales, which is on the Angry Opt-In list; there have been countless cases of vandalism on User:Jimbo_Wales, yet there was not a single edit from ClueBot. The opt in list is really for repeatedly vandalized articles, not user pages. Please reconsider protecting the page.

Thank you! --Tony Tan98 · talk 23:23, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tony Tan 98: Typically, we never preemptively protect pages, though that may more pertain to the mainspace. Something like user pages can be requested to protected by their owner without any disruption ever have taken place, as it's not really a collaborative environment. This then is an exception to the no-preemptive philosophy. AngryOptin however is intended to be edited by anyone. Following that logic I think protecting it without evidence that protection is needed simply goes against the open nature of Wikipedia. I'd also need to come up with some custom rationale as it wouldn't fit with any of the standard protection reasons. I think IPs and unconfirmed users should be able to add pages to the AngryOption, just as anyone else should. Another admin may see different, but I'll have to again have to pass. Best — MusikAnimal talk 22:20, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@MusikAnimal: Thanks for your reply. It makes sense that pages should not be preemptively protected, but wouldn't the list be useless if vandals can remove pages listed there? If an editor added a page there to protect against vandalism, can't a vandal just go there and remove the page first, and then vandalize? Thanks, Tony Tan98 · talk 01:07, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we're relying on the AngryOptin list that much. Any article that's getting vandalized enough to be listed there will likely be itself become protected, which is the better route to begin with, in my opinion. At any rate, the vandal would have to be aware of ClueBot's one-revert rule, the little-known AngryOptin feature, and also know that the article they want to vandalize is one of the few mainspace articles that are on that list. The likelihood of exploitation seems rather low. Fortunately ClueBot is also not the only set of eyes monitoring recent changes, we have a huge fleet of human eyes monitoring too, such as yourself, who pick up what ClueBot won't revert. I'm truly not comfortable semi-protecting, but of course feel free to post again at WP:RPP to have the request assessed by another admin. — MusikAnimal talk 01:54, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I think you are right. It makes sense that most vandals won't find out about it. I found out about the list only because I have had an incident where the page Egg was repeatedly and continuously vandalized by an User:Winedmoves and an admin was not available to block that user. I didn't even have rollback back then and I had to use Twinkle to constantly revert his edits for an entire 30 minutes. I really think there should be a permission that allows trusted users to block non-autoconfirmed users for up to 30 minutes while admins are notified. :) Tony Tan98 · talk 02:27, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Call for more investigation of an SPI you closed

I'd like to see here a request a technical/CheckUser check. While the data is fresh, a)I think the unconfirmed socks should be confirmed (or refuted); as someone who was nearly blocked indefinitely, I'd think you'd be OK with this, but I don't want to step on your close, especially as I'm just off a block myself. It would be valuable to b)look for the real puppetmaster, as the nominal puppetmaster has only made a few edits, and that the investigation should c)expand to this edit - removal of same Iranian Jew population information and source by another editor - though I continue to AGF, we've only got a nominal puppetmaster and this is a lead that could be followed up on. May I make it so or can you? It says anyone can request a technical/CheckUser check, so I'm starting here, since you just closed the SPI. --Elvey(t•c) 16:34, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Elvey: SPIs are terribly backlogged. We generally only request checkuser intervention if we absolutely have to. Here these socks could not be more obvious, so I was able to close it with very strong confidence. Yes, anyone can request checkuser intervention, but the request is usually endorsed by a clerk before actually being ran. Here I don't think it would be endorsed.
As for my SPI case, it was not obvious. The problem with mine was the person who opened it and how persistent they were to get me and the others blocked. The checkuser confirmed I was not related to the accounts, but possible as I edited in the same metropolitan area (of about 23.4 million people). What I blabbed about there on my user page was more just me being paranoid. In reality I probably wouldn't have been blocked at all. Nonetheless because of this experience I am very careful when closing SPIs today, and the case you opened is no different. Feel free to open it back up, add other possible socks, and/or request checkuser intervention as you see fit. — MusikAnimal talk 16:59, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(ec). OK, thanks. I see what you mean about your SPI case. I'll add CU pro forma, at least; if it's not performed due to the backlog, so be it. I'm going to point readers of the SPI here to guide the socking user toward more constructive ways of contributing, and point out that we're not arbitrarily censoring these users; we are open to having articles report that Iran has far more Jews than our articles now say it has, provided it is verifiable.--Elvey(t•c) 18:56, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from Trangtrang124

Hello, I was the one that edited the Chamomile page. I did some research and wanted to add more information to the page to make it more up-to-date and informative to Wikipedia user. If you look at the history of the page, you can find my explanation as in edit summary behind my action. It is as followed: 17:59, 3 November 2014‎ Trangtrang124 (talk | contribs)‎ . . (15,087 bytes) (+4,239)‎ . . (Editions were made to give the page more structure and make it easier to navigate. More information and references were added to make the information up-to-date and reliable to the public.) After that revision, I also made some formatting to give the page more structure and it could be the reason why you couldn't find my edit summary. My references are all from researches and published journals. Please check on this again. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trangtrang124 (talk • contribs)

@Trangtrang124: This was my mistake. I did not check previous revisions, only the revision I saw when patrolling recent changes, where you removed sourced content without explaining why. The issue is that this is a common form of vandalism. However clearly you were in the middle of moving things around, and not just inexplicably blanking content. I'll take full blame here, but it is important that you use an edit summary for the edit that is removing sourced content. That way everyone is aware of what you are trying to do. Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 04:11, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maroon 5’s all Wikipages

Can you keep an eye on every Maroon 5’s pages (including album, singles etc.) if whether unsourced genres or not. 115.164.56.162 (talk) 15:22, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I cannot. Unsourced genre changes happens on pretty much all music-related articles, unfortunately. When I see it happen I will respond to it, but I cannot monitor that many pages, especially when I have such little interest in the group. If you might consider creating an account, that way you can add all the Maroon 5 articles to your watchlist, and monitor them yourself. Best — MusikAnimal talk 16:28, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from Galvannij

Hello MusikAnimal, you removed content that I edited quite quickly regarding Andrew Lincoln, do you monitor just his site or others too?

Kind Regards, Galvanni

Hello, I'm MusikAnimal. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Andrew Lincoln, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Galvannij (talk) 16:11, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Galvannij: Hi, I patrol recent changes so I edit all sorts of articles. I noticed you changed the birthplace of Andrew Lincoln but the sources provided say he was born in London, not Rome. You will need a reliable source to back your change, see WP:REFBEGIN for more information. I might also recommend discussing the change on the talk page before implementing it. Let me know if you need any help. — MusikAnimal talk 16:17, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Licensed professional counselors

Re this: really? I've been trying to get CEDstudents to stop adding that crap to the article (apparently Drmies gave up after they simply ignored his actions). I stopped reverting to avoid an edit war, but I was hoping the presence of a third party might help. The material they added (that you helpfully reverted) is completely irrelevant to the topic of the article, and appears to have been tacked on in an effort to simply get their grade. I have offered suggestions on their talk page about where the material might more usefully be added (as well as a warning about their WP:ISU username) but they don't appear to be willing to engage in discussion. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:48, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiDan61: Yeah I noticed Drmies edit after the fact. I'm just patrolling, as you know, didn't actually read the entirety of the content. My original revert was because of removal of sourced content, but I didn't realize that in succession with the other edits was actually an addition of sourced content, something we typically like. But as you say, turns out it's a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. I've again removed the content. If they continue to disrupt, after another warning or two, we can do a brief block to get their attention in hopes they will respond to inquiries on their talk page. — MusikAnimal talk 17:05, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Jingle Bells" by Singing Dogs - - FIVE Dogs, Not Four

I'm not quite sure why you changed my correction. There were FIVE (5) dogs that were recorded for this 1955 Christmas classic. You even have an image with all FIVE (5) pictures of the dogs with their name below. You need to read up on your history, because what you have now is erroneous. The content and picture alone contradict what you have on this page.

Best regards!
