Talk Page Edit Removal

This was done because the user has been trolling on my page. Hasn't gotten the answer he/she has demanded, refuses to follow the rules, and is now forum shopping. So, I'm applying WP:DENY to the whole thing. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 08:43 on June 27, 2016 (UTC)

1 month /29 rangeblock. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 04:22, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, but this person is back. The IP's are from all around the world, so they might be editing via open proxies. Sro23 (talk) 04:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Materialscientist can you help out? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 04:27, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't watch this page and don't receive pings. Yes, they are kind of "proxies" (upon a brief look), i.e. rangeblocks won't work, and semiprotection would be a more efficient route. Materialscientist (talk) 08:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

The problem is it's not the articles they're attacking, it's Sro23. Whatever article Sro23 touched as part of their patrolling would turn into a revertfest. Do you still advocate semi-protection in this case? I will certainly heed your advice. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

This is a standard situation where semiprotection is the best remedy. It can be brief if the disruption is caused only by the maniac, or can be longer if there is a history of vandalism/spam/etc. Materialscientist (talk) 22:10, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 23:26, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Unreliable source?

You said that famousbirthdays.com was an unreliable source on 'Maty Noyes' page, I do not understand what was unreliable about this source. Please could you tell me your reasoning for this. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipediaeditperson (talk • contribs) 19:26, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I direct you to WP:IRS. The tell-tale signs of unreliable online sources are often a lack of author, lack of credibility for publisher, and sometimes but not always .com, .info, .net open domains. If you read the website's about page, you'll see that under the "CONTRIBUTING TO FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS" section it implies anyone can submit to the site (just like wikipedia) therefore it is not trustworthy. Sro23 (talk) 19:34, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I understand that it is able to be contributed by anyone, but as you say Wikipedia is the same - it is a bit contradictory to say that a website is not reliable, because that would make Wikipedia unreliable. Also, you cannot just update the website famousbirthdays.com - you can suggest an update, but this has to be reviewed prior to being put on the website, so I feel that this makes it a suitable and reliable source. Would you agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipediaeditperson (talk • contribs) 20:10, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

But that's the thing, Wikipedia isn't reliable (even if it may contain links to reliable sources). I still don't trust the website because so little is known about who exactly runs it. Why should we believe them? Sro23 (talk) 20:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Ok, I dont agree that Wikipedia is unreliable - there are a lot of members and if someone makes a mistake, it is usually picked up by others. Also, as I said, the famousbirthdays website verifies every edit, making it even more reliable than Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipediaeditperson (talk • contribs) 20:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Greeku Veerudu

What is the necessity of redirecting it to the director and adding categories?PhysicsScientist (talk) 00:15, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean Greeku Veerudu (1998 film)? I assume it's because it doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films, so redirect to its director. And what's wrong with adding categories to redirects? If you think it's not a helpful redirect, you can list it for discussion but please don't blank pages. Sro23 (talk) 00:19, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Doing like this increased the films (which were created) by the director by 1. I just do not like it. What will happen if it is deleted?PhysicsScientist (talk) 12:33, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

About the edit on List of Space Shuttle missions.

How is reinstating an IP warriors edits not vandalism? The IP has been blocked for his malicious edits. If the IP just wanted to comment out the entire page, why would he make any "good" edits? I'm a bit confused. MegaMan1988 (talk) 04:34, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Just because an editor is blocked, does not mean all of their edits should automatically be reverted. The edit was actually constructive (aside from the unexplained commenting out). Blindly reverting every edit from blocked users is not the best idea, especially if it reinstates BLP and copyright violations, vandalism, typos, factual errors, etc. Sro23 (talk) 04:39, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016

Someone really hates me. I log into literally hundreds of my edits being reverted every day. That's crazy, and in the end I'm only creating more work for everyone else.

I decided I'm going to stop or at least slow down editing for a bit until things cool off. Thank you so much everyone who reverts, protects, blocks, reports, etc. I truly appreciate it. Sro23 (talk) 15:36, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Relax. If he/she/and-or-it isn't reverting your edits, it'll only happen to someone else. There are many eyes watching. Again, relax. It's all good.   Aloha27  talk  15:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Edit warriors

Always worth making sure the problem user has been explicitly warned not to edit war, as they may be blissfully unaware that it's ever a problem - just stick a {{uw-ew}} template on their user page. I'll give Wythy the benefit of the doubt on their latest revert as they might have been writing their "determined to conceal these *facts*" edit summary while I was warning them. --McGeddon (talk) 18:20, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

The "professional"

Our favorite editor has returned to her old ways at Ginnifer Goodwin et al. I've requested the Robby Benson page be semi-protected, and that perhaps the Goodwin page be put under pending changes protection. If you want to warn him, feel free. I don't feel it's necessary to edit-war with it over the changes. An admin will do the protecting and likely block the entity. Maybe even a rangeblock. Anyhoo, cheerio. :) --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - State of the Union ‖ 07:45, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Sro23 i am not sure if you are a robot or not but either way would like if you could reply soon. I do not feel in anyway me edit was bias and am the slightest bit shocked that Ukraine even though i am American doesn't have its own segment even though there are picture of Ukrainian vodka being used in the article. I apologise if taken wrongly but am just trying to find a solution to the very obvious mistake which is needed to be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.164.156.203 (talk) 17:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @101.164.156.203: Never mind that- you should play close attention to the messages Sro32 has left you on your Talk Page. You should have been reported for edit-warring, but he is an amazingly forgiving editor. May I suggest though, that you refrain from making another edit to the Vodka article. If you do, it wil likely be interpreted as a continuing of your ethno-centric point-of-view pushing and either he or I will be forced to seek administrative attention. Cheers! -and happy editing. _Muffled ^Pocketed 18:35, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

I took the liberty of leaving a high level BLP warning for a revert you made to this article. We edit conflicted on the revert but you never left a warning on the user's talk page, so eventually I did. Meters (talk) 07:22, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Ah, i see what probably happened. You reverted the minor 2nd bit of vandalism and never noticed the major BLP edit it was hiding. Meters (talk) 07:24, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

How to revert move changes?

Hi sorry I'm new to all this and trying to correct an error, someone incorrectly moved the SimBin Studios page to the Sector3 Studios page, they should be 2 separate pages as they are 2 completely separate companies.— Preceding unsigned comment added by USteppin (talk • contribs) 13:16, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. It's okay I understand. What you can do is place the WP:RMCM template on the talk page of Sector3 Studios, requesting it be moved to SimBin, to preserve history. Then a new article can be created for Sector3 Studios. We'll need some reliable sources to verify that the companies have split first however. Once the page moves are sorted out, I can also change the incorrect redirects as well. Sro23 (talk) 14:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Spam immediate

{{uw-spam4im}} is a good way to give an immediate final warning. I like the blacklist notice in the template. Do be careful as giving a -4im- warning will cause Huggle to want to send a wp:AIV report and an admin may be reluctant to block for a few warnings. Then again, some seem quite willing to do so.

I need to advice that this user Chronus is an dictator in the Portuguese Wiki (No exaggeration), he is known to all users of the Wiki-pt as rude and possessive, preventing all editing in articles where he touchs. Already quarreled with multiple users both Wiki-PT and even here, always wanting to impose his point of view.

I read what he wrote... it's delusional horseshit. Been here over ten years and I probably have less article creations than you. Early on, I came across a comment from someone high up in the WMF. He said if content creators all left, Wikipedia could go on for years. Information would gradually go out of date, but it'd still be there. If the vandal fighters all left, Wikipedia would be overrun in a few days by vandals, spammers, and trolls. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 00:44, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

@NeilN: as well as Sro23, would you mind pinging me when you see Cebr pop up? Based on my looking around, his IP ranges generally have very little collateral damage and long-term blocks should be worthwhile. Looking at his ranges, a lot of vandalism is coming from them that hasn't necessarily been connected with him in the past. Knowing what IPs he uses and how often makes it easier to find and block ranges with little collateral damage to limit the vandalism. Thanks! ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:06, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Articles I created

I think vandal fighters and primarily content contributors are both needed. I'm more interested in reverting vandalism because I think I'm good at it and because I like maintaining quality. I don't believe this makes me less valuable of a user. Some people think I don't contribute enough, like this is some sort of contest to see who can contribute the most? Well here is proof this is false, so no more whining about how I don't create enough articles! In fact I've created/started several, mostly biographies of living people. Maybe they're not the best written, but that's still content from ME. Sro23 (talk) 17:46, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, article creation is becoming a less reasonable measure as time goes on. Ten years ago? Yeah, we needed articles. But outside of attempting to fix systemic bias, we're getting to a point where most new good-faith article attempts need to be wary of WP:NOTNEWS or WP:GNG; or else require doctorate-level research skills (and tools). We've also got a few users (no names) who act as though making articles when we barely had any to excuse their rather flagrant violations of WP:DICK.

If we're going to be the inclusive community we pretend to be, we do need to start emphasizing stuff like fighting vandalism, resolving disputes, gnome-ish edits, and so forth. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:22, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

The articles get more obscure, but we'll always need articles, if only because the newly notable people worldwide each year is a very large number. If y'all ever need articles to create, I have a literal encyclopedia of sports statistics from Canadian football where every single entry to notable as per WP:NGRIDIRON and there's enough information there to at least create a stub. I've gotten GA credits out of that book, though. Having said that, your work is obviously extraordinarily valuable to the project, Sro, and you shouldn't let the vandals who say otherwise get to you. I've known you for a couple weeks and you've already become my go-to when I need to identify a sock. The only reason you'd ever "need" to create substantial content would be to go for adminship, which I certainly hope you'll eventually do once you're ready. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 19:02, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your support, that's not something I can really see myself doing. I just want to say I really appreciate all the work you've already accomplished in the short time you've been admin. Sro23 (talk) 19:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Just a few minutes the user user:196.206.65.201 reverted 30+ edits in less than 10 minutes. Thank you. Alhaqiha (talk) 19:21, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes the IPs certainly seem to be JovanAndreano. I'm not sure what else to do other than report them at the SPI or request pages be protected. I'm sorry this is happening. Sro23 (talk) 19:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

User:Eshumaitreyus

I notice that you added a 3RR warning to User talk:Eshumaitreyus. Just in case you didn't see it, because he removed it, I had already warned Eshumaitreyus about edit-warring.[8] He is skating on very thin ice. --AussieLegend (✉) 20:59, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

And then they made a bad faith vandalism report against me, not to mention that long incoherent rant they made on the talk page in addition to their overall combative attitude. Sro23 (talk) 21:17, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Reply

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Foleo (talk) 02:33, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I've blocked Foleo for 72 hours. It's rather rich they're plastering warnings all over the place without taking part in the talk page discussion. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:40, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Castle of Óbidos

Hi How was it a cut and paste move? Pyrusca (talk) 19:15, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Castle of Óbidos is a duplicate of the older article, Castelo de Óbidos. I'm not sure how this mix up happened, but for now I've redirected the newer article to the older one so that there are not two articles about the same subject. Sro23 (talk) 19:20, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

• I don't actually understand the intent of the page move to the Portuguese naming convention? Age of the article should not mean anything in this case. The older article should have been moved to "Castle of Óbidos", just like the recent move to "Castelo de Mértola" from "Castle of Mertola". The English convention should predominate in this case, as there are sources that refer to the English naming convention. Please revert Castle of Óbidos as the valid article, there is no justification for reverting the name to the Portuguese.^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 20:19, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm just discovering this now, apparently a user created a bunch of duplicate Portuguese Castle articles instead of simply expanding on the existing articles and moving the pages to the English title (Castle of Mertola is a duplicate of Castelo de Mértola, Castle of Belmonte is duplicate of Castelo de Belmonte, there's more...I have undone my changes but right now I'm SO confused, it feels wrong. Sro23 (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Yup, I discovered that ages ago...and have been slowly expanding articles, then moving them to their acceptable English naming convention. A recent user, who may have perpetuated these errors was later determined to be a sockpuppeteer and suspended accordingly. Regardless, I appreciate you reverting the article redirects. I will try to cleanup the content accordingly, after my zip through "Lighthouses of Portugal". Cheers. ^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 16:24, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Gumtala

Please do not continue editwarring at Gumtala. It would be best to familiarise yourself with the WP:3RR (three revert rule), because violation of this policy could lead to a block. What you are removing is not vandalism. Creektiming (talk) 18:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

I know about the rule. The content I'm removing is an unsourced statement that is repeatedly being reinserted by a blocked user (User:Cebr1979), which exempts me from 3rr. Sro23 (talk) 18:38, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

@Sro23. If we are dealing with a banned user then that puts a different light on things. Your best bet is to open a SPI with links to the accounts being suspected. Without this, you, I, and all others are obliged to follow the general rules. Creektiming (talk) 18:42, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your work. How long will it take for Wikipedia to remove that page about me (Constantia Oomen)? I would prefer for it to be gone soon, as it has spread over the internet without ever being updated and it's so old. If I would write books about these subjects again, they would be different. Now this article about me appears on many other pages with photos of mine that are taken from my website without permission, like "america.pink". I have written them numerous times: no reply. Very rude. Hope by removal of this Wikipedia page, I will be "less interesting" to copy.

Sirte edit warring

First, this is Wikipedia policy on Common names (common name is Battle of Sirte). Second, the ORIGINAL article name was Battle of Sirte (2016) and THAT move to offensive was undiscused (contrary to Wiki policy) without a move request. So both me and Xavier are canceling an editor's unilateral move to offensive who did not make a move request (that you are talking about constantly). Third, you just made four reverts (more than 3) in less than 24 hours on a single article page violating Wikipedia's rule on WP:3RR which can get you blocked. If you do not cancel your last edit I will have to report you. EkoGraf (talk) 15:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Please read WP:CUTPASTE. You weren't cancelling any move, you were doing a cut-and-paste move. Under no circumstances are these moves allowed, because they split the page history, which is required for attribution and copyright reasons. Since more than one person has become upset by this, I have requested a move at WP:RMT. Sro23 (talk) 16:04, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

For the third time, the original article's name WAS Battle of Sirte which was changed without a move request a few weeks ago by another editor. XavierGreen's first edit was not a copy-paste but an appropriate redirect which you reverted. And again, you violated 3RR by making 4 reverts (1 more than is allowed per WP policy) and per Wikipedia's policy an administrator can very easily decide to block you because of this. You are obligated to discuss the issues at the talk pages instead of engage in edit warring. EkoGraf (talk) 16:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

The pages history here and here prove that it was a cut and paste move. I ask for your patience, as I have requested an uncontroversial move here:[10], so it shouldn't take too long for the article to be moved to the proper title. Sro23 (talk) 16:32, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Sro23 is right, the page needs to be moved properly. An admin can revert the undiscussed move, but copy-pasting the content is not sufficient. clpo13_(talk) 16:33, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, I said what I had. Battle of Sirte (2016) was the original article name and its move to offensive (a few weeks ago) was undiscussed. Xavier's first edit was a proper redirect (not a copy-paste) and you canceled it. And again, 3RR is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. EkoGraf (talk) 16:47, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean this? No, that's still a cut and paste move.

I truly believed that undoing cut and paste moves exempted me from 3rr (#5), but if this is false, my sincerest apologies for the disruption. I promise it won't happen again. I will try not to edit war, but please, I also encourage you to respect policy on cut and paste moves: instead you need to request moves when undiscussed complicated page moves are made that can't be undone by regular users.

Typo fix on a talk page

Hello, i want to understand there were typo on blocked message added by other user. I know i should not edit other's talk message.

WP:TPO states "It is not necessary to bring talk pages to publishing standards, so there is no need to correct typing/spelling errors, grammar, etc. It may irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

Hi Sro23,

The page that has been put up is up to date with all the latest facts. It is not an old page. A lot of the stuff used in the page is pure hard facts which have come from the old page. There are many differences. If you have any problems with the facts please let us know. Just reverting arbitrarily does not make sense. I assert again that the page you see is an updated version and not an old page. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeasayer (talk • contribs) 14:13, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

No, with this edit (I assume it was you) you reverted back to a May 2016 version of the article. You need to clearly explain what exactly is incorrect about the newer version so we can fix it instead of reverting to an older version. Please stop edit warring, you don't WP:OWN the article, others are free to edit it. Sro23 (talk) 14:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Sro23, I have not reverted to that page. Please notice that everything now reads 'was' instead of is. The ending date of the show has been put in and so has the Ending sequence of the show. The page looks similar because I have picked up passages from the old page. Please also notice that the name of the company Saregama productions which was the original contract holder from &TV for this production has been added. Trust me brother, I am just trying to present the facts without any Ego. The only difference between us is that I was actually involved with the show and know everything about. NOT trying to be smart or offensive please, in case it comes off as that I am deeply apologetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeasayer (talk • contribs) 14:45, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
