There is no Cabal

This user talk page is watched by friendly talk page watchers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Elaine Joyce

You said that you removed a fact about Elaine Joyce I wrote. Would be helpful if you'd tell me which one you felt had no citation. Everything I posted had citations.

Indefinite block

From the user posting this: Give me an indefinite global block. I'll be very proud. I've been told my edits were bad but back then that wasn't their intention. After all, no edit isn't vandalism (right now). Just give me no chances. I know that those edits were made not to vandalize or disrupt Wikipedia but treat me as a person deported from a major country.211.27.126.189 (talk) 10:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC) No jokes.211.27.126.189 (talk) 10:32, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IPs should not be indefinitely blocked. Rules are rules and they ought to be followed. We seek consensus here. If you continue to edit without (against) consensus and refuse to participate in the discussion, then it is regarded as disruptive editing. You are proud of your incompetence in following simple rules and ask for sanctions as if you're the only rational one? ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 10:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that I feel like my edits have been looked too much on the negative side. I tried replying that those edits weren't made to make things bad (some vandalism on my talk page and admin noticeboard because those warnings made me quite angry is all I did to make something bad on Wikipedia on purpose) but that was pointless, contrary to what was expected from me.
BTW I don't have interest in a username (in case you thought it would be better which is quite reasonable), so I'm not sure how long I could be blocked for. Now it seems like IP accounts mostly stay unblocked, and when that's not the case, the block is usually very short (maybe over within 24 hours of coming into effect).
PS 123.243.100.66 as an IP account for Wikipedia is also the same person in real life.
Finally, I don't feel so angry now that I've been typing so much but I need something on my talk page or at least very easy accessible. A way to tell whether an edit meant for the better is actually for the better. IF you've seen empty information on games in the 2018 World Chess Championship (as in the Wikipedia page), that thing I want to get will probably dissuade me from putting such information on the same or similar articles every again. In fact, I think an edit from me or 123.243.100.66 should always be assumed as good faith (what I mean when talking about an edit which doesn't actually improve, but has no bad intention).211.27.126.189 (talk) 10:56, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for expressing your opinion. Although your edits are made in good faith, as I've said before - they must adhere to policies. I totally understand why you added those frameworks in World Chess Championship 2018, but since Fbergo objected your edit, and you continued to revert neglecting the opposition (thus violated the three revert rule), CaradhrasAiguo took the most appropriate action - report to the edit warring noticeboard.
In case you don't know, <!-- TEXT --> act as a reminder or note, readers cannot see the "TEXT" as it is hidden.
The article appears to be a current event, many editors are paying attention to it, so there is no need to remind yourself add the missing information as soon as possible where the events have not happened yet. Please be mindful. Regarding the IP address indefinite block, see here. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 11:22, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have no interest in adding the framework now that its pointless given a few users disagree. Lesson learned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:37, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, your report is still at the edit warring noticeboard. Good luck ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 11:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen the report but I think I don't need a block (in my opinion, and you're not the user reporting me).211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:46, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "I don't need a block"? It should be the reviewing administrator who decides whether or not to block, not yourself. You are welcome to comment in it. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 11:48, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to officially decide whether I'll be blocked (which doesn't even make any sense).211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:54, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My block is over, and I think your username (no offence) is also a scientific name. Right?211.27.126.189 (talk) 09:31, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not that scientific. I just like it. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 10:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hope you can really learn from your block and edit constructively. Happy editing. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 10:18, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
BTW I used a user talk page to send someone a link to a related article talk page and said it was spam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.126.189 (talk) 09:18, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Has Vijay (actor) article been compared to any Hollywood actors like Tom cruise rofl why then the unnecessary non neutral tag if it's sourced admin??

Why the unnecessary neutrality tag has been added to this article. I am new to wikipedia but if the sources are correct and mentioned as per the source why neutrality tag. Please explain??? my friend says This guy is biggest current superstar in south india nothing his mentioned about it and this article is still outdated and neutral. This guy has got numerous fans and some haters as well. It should've been added by a hater of him who doesnt like his growth since he has won a Iara international award. Kindly admis please remove unnecessary neutral tag. Many thanks. Weryops (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:22, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This one only supports "online", "busy", "around", "offline" and "sleep", others are regarded as "Unknown". You may put a big notice box like "Status: YOUR STATUS HERE" with bold, italic or whatever font style you like, but you have to update it manually. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 03:37, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IP Banned

Hey mate, I was scrolling through a wikipedia post when an info box popped up and said I had 4 unread messages, and when I clicked on the link I noticed that it said my IP had been banned, for an edit on an article I had never seen. I thought you should know that this IP is not a real IP, just a VPN connected through the Psiphon3 application. As this IP will be recorded I will not write it down but I thought you should know that this is one (of many) IPs that are used by the Psiphon3 Application. Sorry for the inconvenience, and it doesn't affect me in any way (my IP will change again next time I connect) but I thought that it would be helpful for you. Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.38.60.98 (talk) 12:39, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher)Yep, I always recommend the old "pretend it wasn't me that did the vandalism" routine. ——SerialNumber54129 12:44, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2018-48

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • On wikis with translatable pages you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use / to create a new page: /wiki/Page/Subpage. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [1]

Changes later this week

  • The advanced search interface will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [2]
  • Special:UnusedCategories show empty categories with no files or other categories. You can soon choose to not show soft redirect categories or some maintenance categories there. You can do this with the magic word __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__. [3]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • Advanced item The mw.util.jsMessage() function was deprecated in 2012. It will be removed next week. Look for the warning Use of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated in the JavaScript console to know if you use an affected script or gadget. If you are a gadget maintainer you should check if your JavaScript code contains mw.util.jsMessage. There is a migration guide. It explains how to use mw.notify instead. [4]

Request for making Userbox

Hey man, a sincere request to you from my side. Please make 3 userboxes for Pearl jam. It should be like-"This user is Super fan of Pearl jam", "This user listens to Pearl jam", "This user loves Pearl jam". It would be really great if you add something really innovative like photo or something in it.Note that its not an order brother but just a request as i am finding problems doing it myself. When you make it please tell me how i can get access to it since i am helping in categorising some bands fans on wikipedia.To reply to me simply leave a message below, i will see it as soon as i get free.

Hi anon. As you are not logged in (registered an account), you cannot have your own user page. Userboxes are designed to be put on user pages. Would you consider registering an account and leave a message here if you have done so? Best ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 14:57, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry, i missed that. Actually i want you to add those userboxes(as i told you in the message above) on the Wikipedia:Userboxes/Music/Bands,L-Z page. You should type half of it on your web browser to find thi page out. You can see in there a P section in which there is already 1 userbox for pearl jam. You can add the new userbox code just below that and i would get it from there on. REGARDS117.234.68.240 (talk) 07:24, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, the Mediation Committee is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
  • A request for comment is in progress to determine whether members of the Bot Approvals Group should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
  • A request for comment is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
  • A proposal has been made to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to interface administrators in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on a website that suffered a data breach. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
  • Wikipedia policy requires administrators to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [5]
  • Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [6]
  • You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [7]
  • When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [8][9]

December 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2018 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the December 2018 GOCE newsletter. Here is what's been happening since the August edition.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the August blitz (results), which focused on Requests and the oldest backlog month. Of the twenty editors who signed up, eleven editors recorded 37 copy edits.

For the September drive (results), of the twenty-three people who signed up, nineteen editors completed 294 copy edits.

Our October blitz (results) focused on Requests, geography, and food and drink articles. Of the fourteen people who signed up, eleven recorded a total of 57 copy edits.

For the November drive (results), twenty-two people signed up, and eighteen editors recorded 273 copy edits. This helped to bring the backlog to a six-month low of 825 articles.

The December blitz will run for one week, from 16 to 22 December. Sign up now!

Elections: Nominations for the Guild's coordinators for the first half of 2019 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations, so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Tdslk.

Please include on the system qb page that Tom Brady throws checkdowns on every play as it is accurate, as a fellow mathematician I hope you understand. Thank you

Tom Brady throws checkdowns every play and he should be acknowledged as doing such — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.244.114 (talk) 01:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although it may be a fact, I don't think it's worth mentioning and you need to cite reliable sources for that. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 01:43, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 5 December 2018

 Fixed Thanks for reminding me! ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 02:27, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kind request

Bishzilla only has five userboxen on her page. Could you make another for her, please, one that emphasizes her good intentions? Something like "This user always try to be helpful. If she frighten little users, or accidentally eat them, please let her know." Maybe with a fine mellow picture of a Zilla. If you can spare the time, it would be appreciated. Note, please don't correct the grammar. Bishzilla's grammar is proper for Dinospeak. Bishonen | talk 02:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen: Done. Please let me know if I can improve it in any way. Thanks ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 04:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This user always try to be helpful. If she frighten little users, or accidentally eat them, please let her know.

Re: Shibboleth

The edit has in fact been explained, it was originally made from a different IP address and justification presented in the talk page (look for 'IT stuff'). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.82.183 (talk) 07:55, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peristant vandalism By The Redundancy and IP

The both guys you neglected on Maroon 5s page doing chaos are getting relentless and have created a havoc. In just some hours of editorial history, you can see tons of revertion of the same edit when different veterans like me havr added. The only way to stop them is blocking them. Do it fast appeal or ask your admin friend to do so. Just do it fast please. IP address-115.133.122.243 and The Redundancy. HardSunBadMoon (talk) 12:47, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather have it protected. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 12:58, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I mean it would be alright. But how many pages would you rather have protected? We both can control them here but what about those pages where no one is there to control these guys? Its better to block them try to understand. For maybe 1 week or whatever you want.HardSunBadMoon (talk) 13:19, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested Maroon 5 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to be protected (here) and filed a report to WP:AN3 here. If you think what I have done is not enough to stop the disruption, please let me know. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:21, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@HardSunBadMoon: Your account is registered yesterday. Why would you call yourself a "veteran"? ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:28, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Abelmoschus Esculentus: Actually i joined wikipedia in 2007. After using my account for 3 years then i got inactive for 1 year and when i came back i have lost my password and i wasn't able to recover it. This way i lost hope but finally this year my brother said me to come back to the buisness as he said that he has saw many faults, errors and that was all done deliberately by many admins whom he named. He said me acquire my lost importance first and then deal with them. I have also lost much of the knowledge i had about syntaxes and so im feeling like a bit amateur this time.

Ok. Things have changed a lot here. You may wish to comment in the 3RR noticeboard thread. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:40, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Modification in the page drona:

Removed section of the page is not a fact but based on assumption of author. It can create perspective view to the readers about caste system, which is matter of debate.
