Ken Dodd

Hi Oshwah, you have SP'd Ken Dodd for BLP violations. Can you point out the edits that you're concerned about. I couldn't find anything myself. Thanks, MidnightBlue (Talk) 12:15, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MidnightBlueMan! There were a lot of edits made on that article when I applied protection. I remember seeing edits that concerned me and that's what I used as a basis to apply semi protection for a short duration there, but I don't remember on the top of my head the exact details (I have a lot going on and lot happens between one issue I resolve and another, so please forgive my vague response here). I have a few things on my "to do" list that I'm going to complete first, and then I'll be happy to take a look and find where those concerns were. Are you concerned about the protection I applied and believe that it wasn't needed? I want to make sure that I understand any underlying concerns that you may have so that I can fully address them. Just let me know and yeah, I'll be happy to go over it with you. Shoot, who knows - I could be wrong and have used my admin tools inappropriately here... If that's the case, then I will be glad to admit so and cower myself in shame as a result. Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:33, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) I see a slew of "reverts" and "undo's" leading up to SP.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Oshwah, thanks for your response, and apologies for my late reply. The fact that Dodd had died, but the reason for SP was concerned with BLP made me wonder about it, so I looked in a little more detail at the history. Having said that, I think I read somewhere that BLP might also apply to recently deceased individuals? Anyway, there were some reverts but maybe not sufficient for SP, but I acknowledge these decisions can be difficult to make at times. The protection was only for three days, so it's no big deal in any case. Regards, MidnightBlue (Talk) 10:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
MidnightBlueMan - BLP does apply to recently deceased people - usually those where news coverage is currently ongoing as a direct result of their death, such as cause of death, any investigations linked to it, etc. It depends on the circumstance. Cool, let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns and I'll be happy to help you. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lamborghini

Hey, why did you revert my changing of the image about the Lamborghini Urus in the article of the brand?Alexander-93 (talk) 22:42, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander-93 - I apologize! I think my keyboard fired off two hotkey presses instead of one - the edit you made just happened to be the next diff in the Huggle queue and hence was reverted. I restored your change and removed the warning that was left. Please let me know if you need anything else, and I'll be happy to help :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:13, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hello Oshwah! I know I don't have 200 mainspace edits. But can you Grant me Rollback rights on the English Wikipedia, becuase I am always undoing vandalism and leaving warnings manually and it is a lot of work to do it manually. Can you please give me this right? I've read the Wikipedia Rollback article and I understand how it works. Thanks Thegooduser Let's Chat 00:08, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) While I commend your efforts, it might be best to use WP:twinkle for now. When I was young, I had to manually revert each time and carried my warning templates on my back uphill both ways through the snow. Seriously, I've used it for years to automate my admin functions and it's been great. Oshwah uses Huggle, though I don't know what the criteria are to use it. Hope that helps.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 00:30, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Dlohcierekim: The Rollback right is needed for editing with Huggle. Yoshi24517Chat Very Busy 05:32, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Twinkle it is then.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:37, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Thegooduser! Echoing off of Dlohcierekim's response - the rollback user right isn't granted by me just because you achieved a number of edits... it typically requires that I see a record of consistent knowledge of identifying and reverting vandalism and knowing what is not vandalism, warning users, and reporting users to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Once you feel that you've done these things, feel free to apply for rollback by filling out this form. You remind me of me back in the day :-)... if you look at my contributions from ten years ago, I started off by reverting vandalism manually, too :-)... (and don't ask why I used all capital letters in my edit summaries... lol). Rollback just requires some scrutiny first because it's a required user right for access to many advanced vandal-fighting tools, most of which are very powerful and operate (literally) from the single press of a key. But fear not, Thegooduser! You will be granted the user rights in time... just keep doing what you're doing and dedicate time towards this area :-). If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. Keep up the great work, and happy editing to you! ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :)

Hi there, just wanted to say thanks for all you do around here. I can't even guess how many times I've gotten an update that there's been a change to one of the articles I keep an eye on, clicked through to find vandalism, then found that it had already been taken care of, by you. I have no idea how you find the time. Just in case nobody has said that they appreciate you today, let me be that person. :) Best, Jessicapierce (talk) 02:27, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kcrawf - This is a conflict of interest! You shouldn't be editing or participating in discussion about articles where you have a personal conflict of interest with - it's highly discouraged by the community because it compromises the content in regards to reflecting a neutral point of view. I'd instead volunteer your time towards topics that you're not involved with, as this is how you'll improve the project. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Need to change name..

I suggested a edit to "Viralminda Nayanar", citing the name being wrong and it should be changed to Viranminda Nayanaar, with "n" instead of "l" and two 'a's in Nayanaar.

Being the name of the religious person worshiped by me, its wrong and pl change it asap.

Pragadisan (talk) 13:04, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pragadisan - You need to file a request to have the page title renamed by reading the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. It sounds like the rename might be controversial, so I would file your request in that area just to be safe. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them.

recent edits

Hi,

My edits are *very* neutral.

Bearing in mind the reality of social processes in this specific issue, making judgement about appropriateness of my edit would require knowledge of Poland affairs and its history. I think that this article present the Person in biased manner, not include events mentioned by me, which are essential for the reader to understand his activity.

President Lech Walesa and his relations with the Person of this text is about are very important topic that should deserve additional sections. I hope that someone will publish larger and more complete notification in this very important issue.

No intent of vandalism whatsoever

  • I absolutely have 0 intentions of vandalizing these articles, truth be told, I was only blanking these useless redirect articles in order to get them nominated for deletion as they were never in wXw history have been proclaimed or recognised as such. Also a friendly and kind advice no offence intended, I understand that you are an administrator here on Wikipedia, but you should rather calm down and talk to people first instead of harshly warning and threatening to ban them because it feels like you're being belittled and nobody deserves that in my opinion. 92.27.41.69 (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When you blank the entire page (like you did here), my responsibilities are to restore the content and warn you about the edit you made - which was not the right way to have these redirects removed. If you have a legitimate reason as to why they should be deleted, please nominate it for deletion at MFD instead. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you further.

Latest Edit

Hi there, You seemed to have an issue with a recent edit I made on a page about Gerry Anderson (broadcaster). You told me that it wasn't constructive. I have to say I disagree with this statement as the city in reference which was originally stated as 'Derry' is not, in fact, called 'Derry'. The city in question is actually officially known as 'Londonderry'. I therefore fixed the term on the page as it was inaccurate. The city is called Londonderry, not Derry. Please allow this change to pass through as it would be a shame for inaccurate information to be printed on a page about any person or place.

I don't have knowledge of that geographic area, but I'll trust you ;-). I restored your edit to the article and removed the warning left on your talk page - please accept my apologies if my reversion was in error, and I hope you have a great rest of your day. Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:56, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually your edit was correct Oshwah. The city now calls itself Derry (though the charter still states Londonderry) and consensus on Wikipedia is to call it Derry. As a result Londonderry just redirects to Derry and the city page is at Derry. For reference this is covered in WP:DERRY. So I've reverted it back to before the IP edit.

Vandalism? 3RR?

So what am I supposed to do here?

~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:58, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @ToBeFree: Reverting vandalism is exempt from 3RR. I've blocked the vandal. --NeilN talk to me 22:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't seem to be that easy, sadly. We had an issue yesterday with an user who - in my opinion - vandalized an article and I accidentally reverted four times without counting. The vandal later told me I did a "good job" , confirming my decision. Differentiating between "indisputable" vandalism and good-faith horrible edits is not as easy as the rules might suggest. I would also be happy if a rule said something clear like "in case of an edit war, until consensus is reached, the original version of the article is considered correct." For me, my personal solution will be never reverting more than three times again, no matter how destructive the edit is. Someone else will sooner or later find it anyway. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:30, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(Clarification: This is not meant ironically! This is actually how I'll deal with the problem and it does seem to be a good solution for me.)
@ToBeFree: As you gain more experience, you'll find distinguishing between the two easier. And you can approach many admins if you're not sure what to do. We're happy to answer queries if it means getting vandalism out of articles faster. --NeilN talk to me 22:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ToBeFree - As NeilN said, this area will get easier for you as you gain experience. The thing to know is that you're not supposed to repeatedly revert other editors' changes unless they're vandalism or obviously made in bad faith. Stick to that, and 3RR won't be a problem for you at all. I'm available should you have any questions - please don't be afraid to ask :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just tried to add an external link to external links section under the heading "Ventriloquism" The link I added is directly to the Puppeteers of America web site. This is a very good place to learn about ventriloquism.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Ventriloquism. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion.

I have recently launched a snack made of foxnuts and realized that there's need for an update to the wiki page around the same.

Abuse excuse

I removed that content because it was biased and unfounded. All they need is a brief mention of those cases, not a whole summary. If one is interested enough in reading why those cases used the "abuse excuse", they could read about it on those individual articles, they do not need a clearly skewed summary of them. Both of those summaries were very much skewed in the direction of the prosecution and Alan Dershowitz. Not to mention neither of those cases used abuse an "excuse" for the actions of the defendants, but rather as an explanation. 71.167.36.65 (talk) 14:23, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning whole cases instead of summarizing them doesn't make content reflect a point of view unless it's adding undue weight to the article - is this what you feel is happening? Either way, as Staszek Lem responded above - you need to start a new discussion on the article's talk page and explain your position in-depth an explain why this content should be removed.

Draft:Queens Park Community School

I see you protected that earlier. I deleted it to merge in the history that I had deleted earlier. The editor concerned is already autoconfirmed. Did you want the semi back or should this be in a different name space. It's a project that was at Wikipedia:GLAM/Queens Park Community School, see User talk:CambridgeBayWeather#Deletion of Queens Park Community School GLAM page. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, and thanks for the input regarding the "expanded history" of this page and what's happening with it. I admit that I didn't pull the number of edits made by this user; I just saw their edits here and assumed (given their disruptive changes and repeated reinstatement) that the account was only 1 - 2 hours old. Hence, you are correct with your statement that my application of semi-protection was completely moot as a result. We've already discussed everything needed here and I believe that we agree with each other on all fronts; feel free to do whatever the hell you want to the article, and you can change or remove any admin action I've applied to it - just let me know if/when you do so and why, so that I can understand and follow along with you; I don't anticipate that I'll care too much ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:56, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS

Claims to be wife. The first edit I checked I found she may have corrected an error. Referred her back to her talk page. Yours,--Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:54, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dlohcierekim - Thanks for letting me know about the follow-up on UTRS. I took another look at the user's edits and decided to change the account's block reason to "repeated addition of unsourced content", as the information submitted in the UTRS ticket seems to match what someone would change if they weren't adding vandalism but instead trying to update information but without any references (basically adding original research). Please let me know if I can be of assistance to this user in any way, and I'll be glad to do so. Thanks again for the heads-up :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cantonese Pronunciation of 二世祖

The Cantonese Pronunciation of 二世祖 is NOT "Er Shi Zu" but is Ji6 Sai3 Zou2.

"Er Shi Zu" is the pinyin pronunciation which is based on Mandarin. I have posted the link to Chinese to Cantonese (Jyutping) converter below.

Firstly, thanks for looking after wikipedia. It is important that information is correct for all to benefit from.

I have been trying to make some amends to the UKDBA page as it is riddled with false information. I have been a dodgeballer since 2005 and as someone who is very passionate about the sport, I am appalled to see the inaccuracies on the page. It is not the truth for the sport.

Hope you understand and will allow these necessary changes to happen.

Qin Er Shi: Cantonese Pronunciation of 二世祖

In the popular culture section, it has listed a Cantonese phrase. And again, the phrase 二世祖 is NOT Er Shi Zu in Cantonese (most words in Cantonese are very different from Standard Chinese). In Cantonese, it is Ji6 Sai3 Zou2.

"Er Shi Zu" is the pinyin pronunciation which is based on Mandarin. I've updated the article again, and this time, I've included a Cantonese dictionary source.

General Ization - Nah, not a legal threat. The user didn't actually threaten any kind of action that would violate NLT. Although I do understand the concerns behind possible implications with the message subject and maybe some of the words, we should instead look last that and try and educate the user and teach them Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Accusing them of making legal threats when they haven't will only do bad things: It will (usually) either escalate the situation well beyond what the user meant to say and scare them off, or it'll give them the idea to do so... so be careful when responding this way to users ;-). ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:51, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a new article (.dev)

Yeaaah, over 9000 edits, and this is the first second article I created (the first one was deleted, of course =)). Aside from the article quality, I think I messed it up by moving it directly from my userspace to mainspace, so all the edits are visible (including the notes I made to myself while working on the draft). Is that OK, or should it be deleted and recreated, so only the latest version is visible in history? byteflush Talk 01:49, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse

I made this redirect to the teahouse WP:THS Will it be deleted because it's not a 'natural' shortcut? Thegooduser Let's Chat 02:20, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thegooduser is referring to my removal from a shortcut box [1] which should list few links per Template:Shortcut#Usage. By 'natural' I mean Wikipedia's practice of using acronyms or something users seem likely to guess and try in the search box. Three-letter acronyms may be wanted for other things and I don't think a redirect from WP:THS to Wikipedia:Teahouse is a good idea but redirects are cheap and it isn't bad enough to nominate for deletion. It would be a better fit for Wikipedia:Teahouse/Suggestions but that page may not need a shortcut. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:01, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PrimeHunter: I meant WP:THS Because I thought it like this Wikipedia:Teahouse Thegooduser Let's Chat 03:12, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thegooduser: Don't worry, it's no big deal. It was easy to guess the reason but removing all vowels is just not something we usually do. It has no incoming links yet so you are free to retarget it. As the author you can also request deletion with {{db-author}}. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:21, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


@PrimeHunter:  Done I requested the deletion Thegooduser Let's Chat 03:25, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Thegooduser: one of the redirects to the Teahouse is WP:TH and I would presume more people would type this than THS. As PrimeHunter said, we tend to use abbreviations as opposed to removing vowels (e.g. Tea House becomes TH).

Yes. Last month I moved the page from Blanche of Navarre, Queen of Castile, to Blanca (etc.) because all the publications that mention this queen in English call her Blanca. But it was reverted.

Thanks for the offer of advice. Yhe issue with this editor, as can be seen in their edit history, is that they come, make a few edits which someone needs to clean up, and leave for a few days. Every time they return, we leave them a "last" warning, which they ignore, and the process repeats. I think I even reported it on one of the boards before, and got the same response: the editor has not made any changes for a week, please report next time. I guess there is not much to do. --Muhandes (talk) 14:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Muhandes - Thanks for responding with the additional information - I've run into this situation many times. The thing I usually do is leave them a final warning and go through with action regardless of the difference in time that occurs between the warning and the user's next edit(s). I just left this user a generic final warning regarding the addition of unreferenced content; if the user does this again, file a report at WP:AIV or let me know and I'll be happy to take a look.

Welcome back Oshwah. I hope all is well with you. I'd still like to see what was there, but there's definitely no rush. Thanks. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:28, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I checked out the deleted text and it's about a different person. Deb (talk) 11:28, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks Deb. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:35, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not the case. The InfoQ framework is building on data science and statistical thinking, the information quality entry you refer to is IT driven with an orientation towards data quality.

IP:86.9.95.20

Hello Oshwah, A quick message, as I'm involved with family business. 86.9.95.201 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who you recently blocked for a short period is again making exactly the same unsourced/unreferenced changes to BBC articles as before. They have been reverted by other editors and myself, but do not seem to learn or engage with other editors. I think further measures are required. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 12:20, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question-request

Hey man. Sorry for bothering, but I really need your help. There is an obvious paid editor in an article in my watchlist. I'm talking about Delyan Peevski. I find it annoying to constantly pet it. The paid editor in question is Lee-ann-25 (talk · contribs), sock master of 3 accounts and possibly owned by Lyubomirab (talk · contribs). The related COIN discussion and SPI case with all information available are still open. Can you take a look and close both of them, or ask an fellow administrator of yours who's dealing with this kind of stuff to do it? Thanks in advance. Quickfingers (talk) 19:15, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Oshwah, I am sorry for thus intervening into your conversation but I have been literally "hunted" by quickfingers, falsely accused of paid editing and relations to profiles I have nothing in common with. At the same time quickfingers is in a possible COI situation so I started a Conflict of interest discussion against him [2]. I have to admit that he contributed a lot about this procedure, giving me a clue where to find explanation for his obsession about the "Peevski topic", citing this article here. Today I found though another one, published by the same media outlet, explaining Quickfingers connection to Peevski's "arch rival" (that's how the user himself call him) Ivo Prokopiev here. Please take this into account when you estimate the case and the situation in general. Lee-ann-25 (talk) 21:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quickfingers - Have you filed a report at SPI about your suspicions of sock puppetry and abuse of multiple accounts? If not, you need to do this, and provide evidence that clearly shows that this is going on. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:15, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: Yes. I linked it. CheckUser is complete and it needs to be closed. Quickfingers (talk) 06:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quickfingers - Ahh, indeed you did. Sorry... don't know how I missed that :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lee-ann-25 - Why do you believe that Quickfingers has a conflict of interest with this article subject? You stated that you feel he does, but you didn't provide evidence or proof as to why you believe this to be true... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:15, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oshwah I provided an article, published by the same media outlet Quickfingers gave as an example. According to the article [[REDACTED - Oshwah]], he [REDACTED - Oshwah]. If you take a look on the Delyan Peevski page you will see that a great deal of the sources, used there, are articles, published by those very media outlets. That obviously raises suspicions of Conflict of Interest against Quickfingers. Lee-ann-25 (talk) 12:35, 22 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
Hi Lee-ann-25 - The external link you provided has multiple issues, the biggest issue being that it attempts to disclose private information about Quickfingers (which can constitute WP:OUTING - a very serious violation of policy), so don't post external links like that on any public pages or forums on Wikipedia; it can get you blocked. I know that this isn't what your intentions were, and I've removed the link from this page. Please take a moment to read Wikipedia's policy on "outing" and let me know if you have any questions. Aside from that issue, none of the information stated there is verifiable at all, nor does any of that information constitute evidence that I can use to justify taking any administrative actions or make any kind of assertions regarding Quickfingers. I understand that you were the subject of an SPI and that it frustrated you to see this happen, but I cannot use the information you provided as any kind of evidence for the reasons I stated here. If you have no other evidence, I highly recommend that you work things out with Quickfingers and come to a consensus and work together to improve the article. I know that the SPI and accusations were frustrating, but I urge you to set that aside and consider it part of the past and move on. Continuing to point fingers back-and-fourth (especially without reliable evidence on Wikipedia that can be reviewed and used) won't do any good... Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. Thanks again for the messages, and I hope that this issue comes to a quick and peaceful resolution between the two of you. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:46, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, again Oshwah I have to admit that I didn't have any idea that posting external links with that kind of information is prohibited by the WP rules. So thank you for helping me out with that. And for providing information about the Outing protocol. I've just read it carefully. I WILL do my best to collaborate with Quickfingers, although I am a bit pessimistic about his intentions. So far my experience shows that any attempt to start a discussion on the issues with the controversial article ends either in erasing the information I add or update, or in starting a procedure against me. lee-ann-25 22:34, 22 March 2018
lee-ann-25 - I figured that was the case, which is why your account isn't blocked ;-). Thank you for taking the time to read up on this policy and for understanding the level seriousness and severity that this policy is enforced. As you can read in this talk page discussion alone, those links you provided added a significant amount of stress to Quickfingers - I mean, how would you feel if I posted links to external websites that reveal off-wiki and real-world information about your identity and who you are? I'm sure you'd feel the same exact way as Quickfingers does :-). Please remember to always keep this in mind... and not just with outing, but with anything you say to another editor on Wikipedia in general - always think about how the recipient will feel seeing the response you're about to make and how you would feel if the same was said toward you :-). I'm happy to hear that both of you (while both understandably feeling somewhat disheartened and somewhat "pessimistic" as you put it) agreed to try your hardest to work with one another. Go into the discussion knowing that the feelings are mutual, that the past is behind us and is taken care of, and use your mutual thoughts and feelings as a way to acknowledge that you understand one-another in this aspect. If you both do your best to remain civil and keep the discussion about the content, and not about finger-pointing or about one-another... I think you'll walk out of the discussion just fine and after some back-and-fourth debate - you two will come to at least some level of agreement in some places; post those changes that you agree with and go from there. I wish you two well and I hope things go smoothly and that you both can move on from the past and at least shake hands and agree to be peace with each other. I'm available should either of you need my input or have any questions for me; just ask and I'll be happy to answer and help. Cheers ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:50, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not exactly sure how I can build consensus & work with someone who tries to discredit me as an editor through articles with false information. I'm more than confident that Lee-ann-25 (talk · contribs) is the author of these articles. because they were written during their block period. The one that appeared in 19th is a translation of a previously written article in Monitor. The user avoids answering any questions regrading this topic, didn't participated in my COIN discussion at all, yet continues to attempt to remove selective information about Peevski, and reported me for the same reason as I did, even though I did nothing wrong and I'm not affiliated or paid by anyone. For my nearly 6 years being in Wikipedia I never experienced so much stress here. Quickfingers (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quickfingers - I completely understand and I'm sorry that you're feeling so much stress over this situation. You did the right thing by creating the SPI given the evidence you had. I, quite frankly, don't blame you at all for being stressed over this. What I can tell you is that I've removed all of the external links that Lee-ann-25 posted that mention you and had those revisions all suppressed for you. The posting of these links constitute WP:OUTING, regardless if the information is true, reliable, etc - or not. From here on out, I'd say that if the user isn't willing to discuss any of the content issues or disputes with you on the article's talk page and despite your repeated attempts to do so - if the user starts edit warring, report the user to WP:AN3. You've tried everything, and all you've been met with are accusations with "evidence" that constitutes outing (which I've removed for you). Hopefully this response (and the actions I took) help to lower your stress and put you at some level of ease... If you have any more questions, concerns, or need my help or input with anything else, please do not hesitate to respond and let me know.

Indef IP

Hi, would you mind unblocking the indefinitely blocked IP 178.36.118.74? It has been three years since the IP was blocked, and there appears to be no evidence that the user purported to be using the IP has been socking recently. Thanks! ToThAc (talk) 14:03, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(by talk reader) Look at this edit that IP made. I see no reason to unblock that IP ever, and I would question anyone recommending such. Also, Kudpung was the blocking editor. Why not ask them first? Chris Troutman (talk) 14:21, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In general, IP addresses should not be blocked indefinitely (although doing so for 5+ years is acceptable). Pinging Kudpung - does this block need to be indefinite, or can we lower it to a duration of 5+ years like I typically see that we do? Let me know. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:18, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see any reasons for unblocking or shortening the block, they have posted some pretty discusting stuff and vague legal threats. The have also threatened to continue to sock with a mobile device, which they might already be doing, but which is harder to detect as GSM data connections don't use the same IP systems. It might even be user:Demiurge1000 (UK) although the IP locates to Netia, Poland, (might even operate a VPN service - a lot of European VPNs locate there). While he was a C-level at the WMF, Philippe was the most sincere and trustworthy manager I ever met. A good friend. Someone whom I trust implicitly to know what they are doing. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:51, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Kudpung - Thanks for taking the time to further explain the situation and the blocking of this IP. I trust your judgment and I'll leave things be. Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Problem

I have received several messages about edits that I did not do. I do not have a shared IP address, so I do not know how the edits were attributed to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.101.194.106 (talk) 14:45, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Create an account and use your account to edit and discuss things. Not only will it eliminate any potential issues with being warned for edits you didn't make, but it also comes with many benefits that you may find useful in the future. Let me know if you have any questions. Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:19, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Socks

Hey Oshwah,

I recently ran into QuadleTheCorrector (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Inspector coole (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who were both vandalizing Phil Sumner. Once I clicked on their contributions I noticed something fishy (or Ducky): both began editing on the 14th, both edited Summer Nights (Grease song) and Phil Sumner unconstructively using edit summaries like "fixed typo" [3], [4] and "Added content" [5], [6] when it wasn't. If you look at the edit history of Summer nights they were both vandalizing at the same time [7]. I am almost certain there is a connection even if they aren't the same user, they know each other. Would you or one of your tps check them out? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 14:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When they edit again should I take this to the Admin noticeboard or open an SPI? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 09:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe friends larking about, or socks. Doesn't really matter, as they're both vandalism-only accounts. I've indeffed them as such. (See Melanie's note below.) Bishonen | talk 09:10, 21 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]

I was sure there was a good reason. Happens to all of us. I am always grateful when stalkers step in to cover my page so I thought I would encourage it here.

EDIT WARRING OCCURED AT MUSTAFA ALI

Yo, Another user caught doing edit-warring at Mustafa Ali (wrestler) added same incorrect info, If you have any blocking privilege then I request IP block even account creation on the IP. See I've warned that user at talk page. Further Remedy would be appreciated. CK (talk) 19:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Broken nutshell - Well, let's hold on for a second and take a look here :-)... the IP only made one edit to that article (here) and hasn't done so since you warned the user (which I'll add was too harsh - you should have given the user a "level 1 (assume good faith) warning" to start. Just because I have the ability to block accounts and IP addresses from editing doesn't mean that I'm allowed to do so - I can't just go around blocking accounts and IP addresses as I please... there's policy that explains when this is appropriate. One instance of editing that I'll assume was simply because the editor didn't know policy does not constitute a situation where I would block. If things change and if things go off the rails and the IP starts vandalizing Wikipedia repeatedly, report them to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism so an administrator can take action. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to help you. Thanks again for the message, and I hope you're having a great day :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:27, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi, I have a question about socking and wondered if you could offer some advice? If someone makes an edit using IP address #1, gets reverted, then immediately shifts to IP address #2 to revert that same edit back, is that considered socking? And if there is convincing evidence that it is the same person, and they have used both IP accounts before and are continuing to use both of them in tandem like this, along with other items of compelling evidence, should it be reported? Thank you in advance for any information you provide. Cheers - theWOLFchild 06:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Thewolfchild: It's presumably the same person per WP:DUCK, but it's not considered socking. That's because, if the IPs look related, it's probably the ISP changing dynamic IPs for the person, and they can't help it. And if they don't look related, it could be the same person editing from at home/at work. (For large values of "immediately", admittedly.) However, if the IPs put together breach 3RR, that's a violation and should be reported. And if one of the IPs is blocked and the other continues to edit during the block, that's socking/block evasion, and should also be reported. That's for your general question; but Oshwah (or somebody else, per Melanie above) can very likely advise you more pertinently if you provide more detail about the page/s and the IPs. Bishonen | talk 08:57, 21 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Hi, and thanks for the reply. What I had noticed in this case in they made an edit, were reverted, then minutes later, switched to the second IP to revert their edit back, then immediately after that, were back to using the first IP, all within 12 minutes. It appears they have full-time access to (at least) two different IPs, and can switch at will (and do). The first IP is dynamic, but they have been using it regularly for a couple months. The second IP is static, from the same area, same country, and again, the same user has been using it for a couple months. Same edit style, edit's the same areas (specifically categories) and uses the exact same edit summaries (WP:DUCK). I did post the 'good-faith-version' notice about multiple accounts but it was quickly deleted, claiming; "this is not an account" [pp]. I posted a follow-up comment which was also quickly deleted as "nonsense". Then I stopped posting there, as there is no engaging with this person. I thought the deliberate switching of IPs to revert an editor that had reverted them, giving the impression it was a different person, may have been a sock violation, so I thought I'd seek some advice. If you care to take a look, I could post a single 2K/kb diff that spells it all out. If not, thanks for the feed-back just the same. - theWOLFchild 09:31, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Right. I meant, please identify the IPs in question. Yes, if your diff does that, please post it. Bishonen | talk 11:45, 21 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]
@Bishonen: Sorry about the delay, just got in. Everything is in this diff. I don't have a lot of experience reporting socks, but I think this waddles and quacks like a DUCK. If you have any questions, let me know. - theWOLFchild 01:47, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Thewolfchild! Thanks for leaving me your message here with your questions and request for input. It looks like you've provided the information asked for above, so I'll take a look and see what's up...
For the record (and to answer your questions): Sock puppetry refers to the creation and use of multiple accounts to perform edits and actions that are against policy. While hopping IP addresses doesn't quantify "sock puppetry" under the wording of that policy, it's just as disruptive if the evidence is clear that the user is doing this intentionally and in order to disrupt the project and avoid being blocked for their actions. Filing an SPI isn't the wrong thing to do (people do it quite regularly) if multiple accounts aren't suspected of being abused by one person, but I believe that these particular issues (unless you know them to be connected to an LTA and hence to a pattern of abuse by accounts in the past) are best reported to AIV if the disruption is blatant and obvious vandalism. Just add a comment to the report and state that the abuse is from multiple IPs, and list those IPs you see the abuse from. If you're not sure if the abuse constitutes a report at AIV, you're always welcome to file a report at ANI instead :-). Please let me know if you have any more questions about sock puppetry and when / how to report different issues or suspected abuse from the same person and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks again for the message and the heads-up. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thewolfchild - Exactly what edits between these two IP addresses make you believe that similar disruption is occurring between them - can you provide diffs so I can take a look? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:37, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Oshwah, I posted comments to this IP user which contains diffs of the (potential) socking incident. I had already tried to take the AGF route, posting the AGF notice about using multiple IPs to this and the other IP user noted in the comments. Aside from that, geolocation shows they are from the same former-SSR country, delete talk page notices with the exact same dismissive wording, edit extensively at category pages, and have been active along the same time frame. One IP is dynamic while the other is static. Could it be the same person switching between say, his mobile device and home pc, with generally no ill-intent? Sure, but in the diffs I included in my comments, show they made an edit with IP addy #1, were then reverted, switched to IP addy #2 approx. only minutes later to revert the edit again, then continued editing with IP addy #1 minutes after that. To me, the evidence shows they are the same person, and, at least in this instance, hopped from one IP to another to give the appearance that a different editor was challenging the revert, and further reverting back to their version. To me, that is a violation of WP:SOCK (btw, does that policy not apply to IP users?) Was this violation their intent? I'm not sure, so like I said, I tried the nice, AGF way to discuss it with them but got the brush-off, and so decided to seek further advice (which brought me here) because I'm not all that familiar with sock reporting. If you and/or Bishonen would care to take a look and let me know what you think, I'll go with whatever you decide. Thanks - theWOLFchild 04:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your disruptive edits are damaging the Neutral Opinion.

I have seen you have reverted my edits and made the article of Mughal Maratha victory quite baised. Please explain if you are paid by right wing extremist fundamentalist organisations to do so? Or you are doing this to white wash the failures of your ancestors? Or you're spreading propaganda on Internet? Or you are spreading edit terrorism on internet? Please refrain from callous, frivolous and outrageous acts of yours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:205:2301:d237::aa8:e8a1 (talk • contribs) 06:17, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes to Mughal–Maratha Wars (such as the edit you made here) have multiple issues. Not only did you fail to cite any kind of sources with your changes to help verify that your changes are correct and accurate, but I believe that your changes also introduce concerns in regards to maintaining a neutral point of view. If you feel that the article has neutrality concerns as-is, we should resolve this by fixing the words that cause them, not by adding your viewpoint in rebuttal - that is not neutrality. Please review the Wikipedia policies and guidelines I've linked here, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for the message, and I appreciate your understanding :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:29, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yassmin

Hi Oshwah

2 questions. 1. Do you have an alarm system that alerts you when Yassmin's page is edited. Why the obsessive interest? You took 2 seconds. 2. Referring to her lack of boyfriend goes to credibility. To claim an entire nation is an "abusive boyfriend" is bigoted, meaningless and should not be left unqualified. The qualification is that she will not marry a non-Muslim and has publicly clarified she has not had a boyfriend. She is therefore unable to make a claim on an abusive boyfriend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎110.20.24.93 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Umm it's not an "alarm system", but a queue of edits that I patrol in order to make sure that vandalism or disruption is promptly removed (this is not an implication that the edit I reverted was vandalism or were disruptive). Your edit to Yassmin Abdel-Magied here added commentary and analysis based off of your point of view, which is in violation of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. This is why I reverted your edit. Please take time to review this policy, and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them and help you if needed. Thanks for the message, and I wish you happy editing. Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:43, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My edit re Arnaldo Lermas death.

There has been no official investigation into Arnaldos death-no autopsy as yet and no proof he tried to murder his wife. Tony Ortegas version of evehts is speculation and Arnaldo is innocent till proven guilty- therefore his assumptins are illegal and defamatory- his sihgle source is his own article.I am seeking legal advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jupitersdreaming (talk • contribs) 06:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jupitersdreaming - Two things:
1. I agree with the removal of the content that details the "death" of this person. The reference provided do not meet the requirements per Wikipedia's policies on the biography of living people. I've removed this content and posted an in-depth explanation explaining the issues on the article's talk page here.
2. Please clarify your statement above where you say, "I am seeking legal advice". If this statement is intended to imply any kind of legal threat, I'm required to block your account indefinitely until you retract your statement. Please respond as soon as possible; if I don't hear back from you within the next five minutes, I will be blocking your account per Wikipedia's policy on legal threats.
I'm giving you a chance to clarify and/or retract that statement so you don't get blocked - please take this opportunity and explain. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:13, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that you haven't edited since the message you left here. Since I didn't hear back from you in a reasonable time, and no clarification or retraction was made regarding the statement above - I'm forced to interpret your statement as-is and I find it to be in violation of Wikipedia's policy on making legal threats. Therefore, I have imposed the actions described in the policy and blocked your account. You're welcome to make an unblock request in order to clarify and/or retract the statement in concern, and (if satisfactory) your account will be unblocked. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:46, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Titanic article

Hi. I just restored a part of the edit you undid on the Titanic article. It was a link to everything that was releated Titanic. It was quite appropriate to say the least, plus it has not been on there before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.234.183 (talk) 07:02, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alfred DuPont Trust

The edit basically reflects the current,rather than former,content of the linked list of the trust's trustees from its own website.There's hardly any more reliable source than that!12.144.5.2 (talk) 07:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - is this list cited in the article? Is there a better source that we can find and use instead? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:33, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am baffled as to what could be a better source than the Trust's own identification of every present and past trustee,with dates of service for all past trustees and years of joining for all currently in office.I thought the trustee list was linked from that article,and in any case the trust website itself is linked (and the entire trustee list otherwise unsourced) in the article on the trust,and the trustee list page is linked from the article on Herb Peyton,whose outdated identification as if he were still a trustee you blindly restored.12.144.5.2 (talk) 18:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually,looking further,the Herb Peyton article uses an outdated URL and a Wayback Machine link to it.The current information is at http://www.alfrediduponttrust.org/governance/trustees/ and should supersede the other cites.12.144.5.2 (talk) 18:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, there you go. This is one reason as to why it's important to cite references in-line with edits like these ;-). Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

by the way, I mark lustre who develop the site that I link to this topic. I hope you will consider my topic about coparenting and I'm welling to add more ideas for this topic.

thanks

Hi Marklustre! Welcome to Wikipedia! The issue behind the external link you added to Coparenting is that it seems to be to a website or content that you've written or that you manage. This is problematic for many reasons - one of which is that this constitutes the addition of original research, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. Other concerns include conflict of interest with the link, as well as concerns about using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion. Please take some time to review these policies and guidelines, as well as give Wikipedia's guidelines on external links a read. They will help to answer any questions you have and explain what can and cannot be added to articles for different reasons. If you have any questions about the policies or guidelines I've linked you, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks for the message, and I wish you happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:06, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your message here clearly shows that you have a personal conflict of interest with the article subject, Arjun Kanungo - assuming your statement is true.

I emailed support and said this: if you need anything else please let me know, I am trying to get verified by twitter and deleting my edits definitely isn’t helping:( Hey, I appreciate your trying to protect me but I am indeed the real [REDACTED - Oshwah] and the reason I went with “the real” is because someone already has my name.

Once your account is verified, I can unblock it as well as undo the redaction of your username to the edits you made (they're redacted at this time). You're welcome to edit as an anonymous user - only your account is blocked from editing due to the username. However, I highly recommend that you follow-up with your message to the Volunteer Response Team that you sent and work with them to resolve your issues - this is what you must do if you want your particular concerns addressed.

Lara Roxx

Why are my (LouGeese) and the subject’s ([REDACTED - Oshwah]) edits gone from her page. We’ve been making changes to fix numerous errors and frankly clunky writing and presentation. This isn’t “graffiti” or some malicious intent. This is her trying to get things straight. As well as updating her current activities. There are no copyright issues I can see. And further links I was going to add today can verify identity. She Periscopes live every day! Please restore our edits and unlock the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by LouGeese (talk • contribs) 12:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LouGeese - The user you mentioned has been given directions regarding how to have her concerns completely resolved. I cannot verify anybody's identity nor can I allow any unreferenced content or changes to be made to biographies of living people - Wikipedia has strict policies regarding these articles, and I'm bound by policy to make sure that it's enforced. I've already removed unreferenced and unneeded content from the article; if you have additional concerns, please feel free to file an edit request on the article's talk page and request these changes be made; depending on the content you wish to be changed, they will require that a reliable source be provided to verify that the changes are accurate and true. Otherwise, the subject has been given directions on what she needs to do - the Volunteer Response Team will be able to work with her and take care of any remaining concerns. Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks for the message, and I'm available to help should you need it :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:55, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your follow-up response, and I also appreciate that you understand why I blocked your account - it was for your benefit and with your best interest in-mind. I hope that you understand and perhaps have an increased level of confidence with Wikipedia knowing that we block accounts with usernames that attempt to impersonate other people or claim they're a notable person.

Hi L293D - Sorry for the watchlist flooding; revisions here were rev del'd and oversighted for different reasons (mostly for privacy concerns).

Have a soothing cup of tea - you probably need it!

After what you (and your talk page) have been through, I think you deserve to sit down, take a long breath, and enjoy a break with the beverage of your choice. Tea is probably as good as anything for this purpose. MelanieN (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Go figure Joaquin, and thanks for leaving me a message here. Your edit here added content that states, "hopefuly lighting will win". This isn't a viewpoint of what many people want to have happen (as you state in your message above), it's clearly an opinion stating that you hope that the team will win.

Not "Constructive"?

Oshwah,

While the term "constructive" may be one of a personal opinion, it is in fact true that his son died of an Opioid overdose and now he is doing what he can to bring awareness to it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYcQ6mF1dZc

The opioid crisis movement needs more visibility and anyone with a platform like his that talks about it is a good thing.

I'm not just making up my edit. It came directly out his father's mouth and I would think that if he's making youtube video's about it, he's alright with it being a matter of public consumption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B450:94C0:8576:F2D3:7EF8:6797 (talk) 21:02, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
