Translating pages from other Wikipedia languages

How can i easily translate pages from Non-English Wikipedia to English Wikipedia? Pages that don't exist in English Wikipedia but exist in French, German, Spanish, Arabic Wikipedia. Is there any translating tool which will even format the references, or google translate is the only method? --The Avengers (talk) 17:16, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no tool to translate pages, and I would highly recommend not using Google Translate to translate pages. It may be very accurate, but I have seen multiple times where something translated seemingly properly turns out to have a completely different meaning than the original text.
As a side note, please remember that the English Wiki has a much higher standard than other language wikis, so the existence of an article on (for example) the French Wikipedia does not automatically mean there should be one on the English as well.

Twinkle issue

At WP:RFPP you said you were requesting pending-changes protection and it posted it as a request for unprotection? Is this issue persistent, in that it happens every time you request PC? I am unable to reproduce it — MusikAnimal talk 16:32, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal Yes, this is third time. Previously it never happened. I am pretty sure i click the right button. When it happened for first time, i thought i must have clicked wrong option. I removed my request, went to the page again and requested pending changes protection. Once again the request was "temporary unprotection". Due to huge sock war yesterday where i had to battle with everybody to prove that Mar4d is a sock at ANI which was dragged to SPI: all these confusions made me forget. Today it started again. I had set some Twinkle options according to the instructions given by Supdiop above on my "Help me" request. You can check that. Is this my personal problem? The Avengers (talk) 16:45, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal It worked previously here :

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection&diff=prev&oldid=687925289

This could be the reason:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_Avengers/twinkleoptions.js&diff=prev&oldid=688055480

Here it started:

Your preferences shouldn't cause this. So sorry, I must ask again, does this now happen every time you request pending changes protection? Do you mind sharing which browser/operating system you are using? — MusikAnimal talk 17:04, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I use Windows 8 and Google Chrome/Firefox. As you can see i gave the difference above where it was working.

I have an alternate account Galaxy Kid. That is where I noticed first.

My request of pending changes showed as unprotection request, I removed the wrong request. With great caution i marked the pending changes option but it became unprotection request. The Avengers (talk) 17:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, next time you request pending changes could you follow the steps at WP:JSERROR? So using the JavaScript console please make note of any errors you see, if any. So as not to disrupt Wikipedia we can try it on testwiki. To do this go to testwiki:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and enable "Twinkle debug version", then go to testwiki:Test and request pending changes protection. Let's see if it works there. Thank you for taking the time to help me diagnose the issue — MusikAnimal talk 17:18, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration Election

I want to vote in Arbcom Election. I was able to see the name list and three options. After clicking vote the page said "you must login to vote". After i tried, it said "User not registered". --The Avengers (talk) 04:13, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Stabila711: That page is not allowing me to login http://postimg.org/image/ayc4a2y3h/ The message says there is no user named "The Avengers". --The Avengers (talk) 04:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Avengers, try this link [1]. It is the direct link to the election page. --Stabila711 (talk) 04:55, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Stabila711: I am aware of that page. Actually after submitting my votes, its taking me back to the log in page. And then they https://vote.wikimedia.org are not recognizing my account.The Avengers (talk) 05:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

https://vote.wikimedia.org would not recognize your account since you are not registered there. Very few accounts are actually registered there since that wiki is only used to host the vote information. Nothing else. You do not actually vote from that wiki. The direct link above should log you into the voting system through this wiki (not the vote.wikimedia.org wiki). If it is glitching out and causing issues I recommend posting to the election talk page. --Stabila711 (talk) 05:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Tamasha plot

Thanks for removing this. I warned the user who submitted it for violating copyright, but then forgot to remove it myself because I got swamped with other things. Appreciated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:32, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: I find it strange that people from Stardust (magazine) don't think of inserting their website in movie articles as reference.

ANI

I think you might want to consider tightening up your ANI report about Arjann. It's not going to be clear to admins what you are specifically complaining about. It comes across as more of a rant than a report against Arjann, which I think you were attempting? As for this link in Mbsibin's block template, it was added by NeilN to communicate that if people spam Wikipedia, it can negatively affect their rankings at Google. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:17, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Actually it was sum up. I don't do much ANI. I am being forced into ANI due to conditions. In the block template there is a link to Forbes page where there is a guidance about how to spam successfully. I don't get it why that link is in that template. That link teaches to use Wikipedia for promotion by pretending to be a good faith editor.
http://www.forbes.com/2007/10/18/wikipedia-pr-spencer-tech-internet-cx_ag_1018techwikipedia.html
This link must be removed from the template. There are some contents which can't be shown to spammers. Those who edit templates they must do it.--The Avengers 16:22, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Serial sock maker

Regarding this report, I strongly suspect (based on what the antennas on my head feed me) that the sock maker was him who has been blocked, and these in turn are being created by him , the main sock-master. He uses the 39.xxx IPs [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and then tries to connect me to them. [9]. I don't know what his game is but all of this is very foolish, and I'm sharing with you this just so you have a better idea about him. [10], [11], [12] (location verified). I'm using just one account and I never even use my IP, I have no purpose to do that.--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 10:35, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Krzyhorse22: You need to create a separate section here and give extra details. The Avengers 10:39, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The above diffs help establish the location and the behavior of the serial sock maker, who has long been CU-confirmed sock abuser. [13] There cannot be two or more edit-warriors from this same location "always" online; always behaving the same way; always editing the same pages; and using the same concept. Anyway, I'm not starting SPI here but just feeding you info to help you in case you ever decide to do this. Bbb never takes me serious. I told him Acejet (Mar4d) was in Brisbane, AU, based on this (the IPs and the CU-confirmed blocked names), including the fact that I saw him one day post something with his AU IP (tracing exactly to those here) and then with his Ma4rd name he was desperately running around asking many admins to delete his post, obviously so I don't get to see his location but I did. I was laughing my ass off.--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 10:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, based on this, this this, and this guy's last edit, I think Saqib (talk · contribs) is one of Mar4d's sleepers trying to wake up. He did that last edit as a test. Why I think so? Because look at Saqib showing up here. Saqib and Mar4d share the same concept. You see the obvious connection?--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Smsaramd had actually filed lots of Language SPI reports. I will look into this, if i have time. The Avengers 05:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Moby-Dick

Hi. There isn't that much IP vandalism at Moby-Dick, so I blocked the most recent IP rather than protect it. Feel free to contact me directly if you should see a lot of vandalism going forward. Bishonen | talk 16:53, 4 December 2015 (UTC).[reply]

rollback

Hi The Avengers. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Katietalk 12:50, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Semi protect my talk page

An IP sock-troll came to post unblock request on my talk page. I filed SPI against him in the past. Semi-protect my talk page and my user page also indefinitely. The IP geolocates to Moscow.

--The Avengers 15:01, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Boing! said Zebedee: Please semi-protect my talk page and user page indefinitely. --The Avengers 16:05, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any need for an IP to edit here with the account blocked, so I have done as you request. 16:10, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
@Boing! said Zebedee: I am 99% sure that the IP belongs to User:Никита-Родин-2002. You can file SPI or ask a check user. I had reported him in past. He is the only Russian sock master I ever came across. The Avengers 16:14, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think they're probably best ignored, to be honest. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:15, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

The Avengers (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

First of all, I can never access the CosmicEmperor account. I don't remember the password and the registered email is deleted. You can check cosmicemperor1@gmail.com which was deleted in July 2015.

I need administrators permission to edit only articles related to Cinema of India. There are many paid editors and spammers editing here. Wikipedia don't need me to deal with obvious vandals, trolls and spammers. But there are many paid editors who are posing as good faith editors. They make many constructive edits, and in between make some promotional edits. I have the experience to deal with paid editors and promotional/spammers posing as good faith editors.

I promise that I will not edit any other topics. I will not vote in RFAs, post comments in user talk pages, ANI discussion. I will not not edit any article unrelated to "Indian entertainment articles."

I know, that administrators can't unblock check user block, so I request those Check users who had interacted with CosmicEmperor/The Avengers to review this unblock request.

The Avengers 05:04, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The problem here is that, as pointed out below, you were strenuously denying any connection with the CosmicEmperor account at the SPI investigation, and your admitting now that your denial was untrue and that it really was you makes it very hard to trust anything you say in this unblock request - you must surely understand that it can look to others as if you'll say whatever you think might get you unblocked, regardless of the truth?

At this point, I suggest a Standard offer is your best hope of unblock - but even after that, an unblock is not guaranteed, and a checkuser review would still be needed. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:54, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • Continuously and unrepentantly lying about not being CE at your SPI is not exactly consistent with this unblock request. You continued to contest that you were not him. Now you want an admin to unblock you with the excuse that you can not access that account? It's a really bad excuse. --lTopGunl (talk) 08:59, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not going to revert your comment. But you can ask a check user, when was the last time CosmicEmperor actually logged in. You can also ask arbitrators which is the registered E-Mail of CosmicEmperor. After that use gmail to login as cosmicemperor1. You will get the red message, Sorry, Google doesn't recognize that email. I have deleted the E-Mail in July. The Avengers 09:13, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's the issue. You don't negate your sock puppetry. Having been CU confirmed, it does not matter wheather CE had not logged in (or can not log in). Even without my comment a CU knows that. My comment was at you that this doesn't do. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:16, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever the issue, I can never login with CosmicEmperor account. Indefinite block is not infinite. You can stop me for some time, but not forever.The Avengers 09:24, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That your misunderstanding of WP:Blocking policy. If you intend to wait and then get unblocked only to come back with your POV pushing, trolling and stalking editors and / or making blanket accusations against long term editors like you did with your CE account, the "wait" will have no meaning. Secondly, socking is even more of a "no no". Regardless, we can not tell if you actually dont have access to that account and have not intentionally deleted the email account even if this mattered some how. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:26, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Came back to troll and stalk whom??????? It's very natural to forget password if it's difficult password and you don't login for months. Yes I intentionally deleted that email as I won't be able to reset my password through registered E-mail and I will never be able to login as CosmicEmperor. The Avengers 09:35, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Samtar, if you check out the level of trolling at his SPI and the reason for his original block, you might want to reconsider even that opinion: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/CosmicEmperor/Archive. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:08, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In that SPI you made a comment about administrator shopping. No one was blocking me, I emailed three administrators GorillaWarfare, Mike V, Anna Frodesiak the truth. Still they were not blocking me. After that I emailed oversight as mentioned by Mike V. Your proofs were not enough to block me, if i had not accepted. The Avengers 09:18, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No SPI administrator negated my points but anyway, emailing in private while trolling in public will not instill anymore confidence in anyone. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:21, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Then why I was not getting blocked by any administrator before my emails? The Avengers 09:25, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SOUP at the SPI? Anyway, let's see what your reviewing admin has to say. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:30, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing administrator may not unblock me right now, As I said indefinite block is not infinite.The Avengers 09:34, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I thought TopGun will support The Avengers because somewhere he is supporting another sock puppeteer. But TopGun has different stand here, maybe his mood changes with different socks. But my stand is same on both sockpuppeteers, both should try for six month standard offer and should not repeat such sock puppetry in future. --Human3015TALK  17:14, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • If Mar4d reverts comments from his talk page, it's his talk page right. If I revert comment then I am not following talk page guidelines. He supports Mar4d but is obsessed with my talk page. Still administrators remain silent and watch like mute spectators. He accuses others of POV pushing. Doesn't he has his own POV in supporting Mar4d and accusing me? The Avengers 17:59, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

talk page

Please ask TopGun to stay away from my talk page. If he has any complaint against my behaviour, then he can visit WP:ANI and WP:SPI. I have given enough replies to him . Please ask him to edit other wikipedia articles.

I don't need or want his suggestions anymore. He can say whatever he wants against The Avengers in any administrator's talk page or Check user's talk page. I will not object. Thanks. --The Avengers 11:04, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:TPG allows blanking of other users' comments from own talkpage but if they have been replied to, then they have to be removed along with the replies. Since my comments were clearly referred to in the unblock decline (making that a follow up of my comment), I reverted Avengers removal of them with the reason that they should stay till that unblock template is to stay ie. an unblock. Also they clearly respond to his intention of "waiting" and coming back without addressing the behaviour and socking at all. If an admin is to choose to remove the comment [14] I reverted back in, I don't mind. I also have no intention of posting here further as my comments only related to the unblock.
PS. it is also to be pointed out that the sock master's previous account, CosmicEmperor, was also talkpage protected due to similar behaviour and trolling. --lTopGunl (talk) 11:09, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This page is already semi-protected and CosmicEmperor's page is also semi-protected not protected.I will not remove any administrator's comment, but I can remove any other comment which is not directly linked to unblock decline request as you stated Regardless, we can not tell if you actually don't have access to that account and have not intentionally deleted the email account even if this mattered some how. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:26, 27 December 2015 (UTC). I cannot access that account and it's the truth. The Avengers 11:23, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
