About that IP and the Goguryeo and Balhae talk pages...

Good morning (my time zone). I just blocked the most recent IP used by the editor whose edits you have been reverting at Talk:Goguryeo and Talk:Balhae. Edits such as these [1] [2] have caused him to cross the bright line laid down in WP:No legal threats. Feel free to immediately report any new IP at WP:ANI for that IP to also be blocked. You may reference the block log of 109.239.217.154 and mention that the user has been hopping across multiple IPs, harassing users and issuing legal threats.

Up until about a day ago, I thought it would have been better for you to rebut the claims made by the IP. However, the conduct of the IP has raised enough doubts in my mind that they are commenting on the talk page in good faith that I have reverted their additions. You are probably in the clear to continue reverting; however, it would be a really good idea to report them and note that this user, at other IPs, has already been subject to Wikipedia administrative actions because of this conduct. —C.Fred (talk) 11:36, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing. If there's some longer-term history of this IP's conduct (i.e., this is a pattern that's been going on a long time), share some diffs with me, so I can see more of the backstory. —C.Fred (talk) 11:37, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio in a nutshell

Wikipedia is the world's largest free content encyclopedia. As such, it cannot contain content copyrighted elsewhere. Such content must be removed immediately and completely rewritten and reformatted from scratch. Content published elsewhere copied into Wikipedia must state that it is public domain, licensed under the GFDL, or a creative commons license. That's the simple version. WP:copyright is a vastly complex issue, but if you keep to what I've written you are unlikely to run afoul. I hope you now understand to under no circumstance restore copvio material. Cheers, DlohCierekim 16:37, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know, the last few weeks have been pretty tiring and i have had much to do, as such i might not always make the best decisions. It is also not the first time lately that i have had to deal with an IP removing large sections of an article, most of what i do is expanding/adding infoboxes and combating vandalism.

Democratic party of Korea

Hi I'm Jeff6045. The reason why I write this is to get some help from you. Since you have long career as WP user I think your advice will be very helpful. Some users are trying to inject their own political view to Democratic Party of Korea.I think their behavior is considered to be WP:POINTy . One of users think that the party has socialism as ideology by faction or it is pro-north korea and try to inject their view on the article. However all of their theory is based on opposition party's theory or right-leaning Japanese media. (Today, Japan is having trade war with Korea. I think Japanese media can't make rational view on korea's rulling party.) I think their behavior is completely against WP's policy. Do you know how to handle these users or solve this problem? Jeff6045 07:06, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jeff. I think it is important to verify sources to see whether they are reliable or not, if others are deliberately disrupting the article then you should give them warnings and possibly report them if they ignore your warnings, if they use several IP’s then you might want to apply for article protection! Currently I am at my family cabin and won’t be able to intervene before next Sunday! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:40, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aryan Brotherhood BRD cycle

Hello, I'd like to invite you to the talk page for the Aryan Brotherhood article you recently reverted. I'm a new editor and I want to make a habit of establishing dialogue around any contentious edits I'm party to. I feel like I may have jumped in at the deep end by making an edit to a controversial topic, but maybe with your help this could become my first experience with the BRD cycle and learning first-hand how consensus is built.

Page Vandalism

Hi, an editor named Rbsind is continuously adding persnoal analysis to vandalise All India Trinamool Congress. Should we seek for the help of any administrator? DeoxysX (talk) 20:22, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If this continues i might perhaps request temporary page protection. Would not be supprised if i am forced to apply for PP before the end of the day! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 20:30, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like this is a bit of a weird way to start a thread, but yes i did. I removed some recent unsourced additions implying a party merger! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 16:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding my edit on Pan-Malaysian Islamic Front

Hi, I recently received your message on my wall regarding my edit on the page Pan-Malaysian Islamic Front (message link).

I believe you made a mistake regarding undoing my edits, because what I did were the following actions:

Fixed Jawi spelling of the party name from "سمليسا" to "سمليسيا" since that's not the correct way of spelling Se-Malaysia in the Jawi scripture (source: Daftar Kata Bahasa Melayu: Rumi - Sebutan - Jawi [Malay Language Directory: Latin - Pronunciation - Jawi]. (2001). Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. ISBN 9836271147.
Changed the picture of the party flag to it's SVG version which I just created recently, instead of the JPG version it had previously.
Changed the party colour to Dark Pink instead of Purple, since the actual colour is Dark Pink.

I hope that my edits can be restored as there doesn't seem to be any reason for them to be reverted, since they're meant to improve the quality of the page, rather than to do test edits.

Thanks. EmpAhmadK (talk) 11:25, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to your edit summary, I placed the same image there multiple times as it is used for all three purposes. Such is also done in pages like Pakatan Harapan, where the election symbol and main image use the same exact picture. I would understand if you'll want to remove one of them, either the election symbol or party flag, but one of them should remain as well as the main image itself.

Political positions

Hey, regarding this: [3]. Are you arguing that the position section should only include "left-wing" or "right-wing"? right-wing populist is definitely an ideological position and I thought info boxes were supposed to reflect the article. I feel that right-wing populist is highly accurate and reflects reliable sources. Thanks. Bacondrum (talk) 12:00, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Right-wing populism is always treated as an ideology in these infoboxes, as such it belongs in the ideology-section where it is already present. The position-section are for things like left-wing or right-wing, not populism or nationalism. So the infoboxes already reflects this ideological position, but in the right spot!

Flag of Crimean People's Republic

Hi dear Wikipedian! What do we do here? Is the website that dear fellow provided reliable? Hockeycatcat (talk) 04:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem like a random vexillology-site, and it doesn't seem to have any external references as far as i've seen, so i'm kinda doubting the reliability! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:38, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Syriza logo

You insist on removing the only available logo for this Greek party, yet you warn me for disrupting editing. I'm reverting your edit. --141.237.208.164 (talk) 03:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your file lacks a valid license or anything proving that we are allowed to use it, this may become a copyright-issue unless you can provide proof that using the file on wikipedia is OK according to the party's policy on their material! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 03:26, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you've got doubts on the license of the new file, then nominate it for deletion and put a relevant notice. For now, I don't see any concerns regarding this logo. --141.237.208.164 (talk) 03:44, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't because i don't have the right tools on Wikimedia Commons, and the tool i use in Wikipedia does not exist in WC! And as long as you lack a licence, using the logo is legally problematic! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 04:19, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
