Callanecc is busy and may not respond swiftly to queries.

User talk:Callanecc/Header

Request for deletion

Please delete page User talk:Yisrael Kristal for block evasion and attacks. Also, it was created before and got deleted for block evasion. Please see [1] (deletion log) for proof. 171.50.188.250 (talk) 11:42, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree to this point, please delete page User talk:Yisrael Kristal for harassment. 122.162.92.82 (talk) 13:59, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:CSD, you're reason for requesting deletion needs to align with one or more of the criteria on that page. If you believe it does, please let me know which criteria and why. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:56, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal, the other criteria is 'G4'. 182.64.240.246 (talk) 10:30, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you can link to the discussion, that doesn't apply. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:24, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion is at User talk:Widr. please quickly delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal. 171.48.50.78 (talk) 10:05, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it is an attack page so it should be deleted. 122.162.230.87 (talk) 11:05, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:20, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It attacks JamesBWatson so please delete. 122.162.148.213 (talk) 13:30, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it tells lies about me, but it's scarcely serious enough to be worth bothering about. The page might have been deleted as vandalism, but it's in the past now. Better to just forget about it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:45, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other criteria is G6 to delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal. 122.162.148.213 (talk) 01:55, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No covered by any of G6. It's time to move on, I'm not going to delete as it doesn't fit within a speedy deletion criteria. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We will discuss further after 6 months about this deletion. 122.162.148.213 (talk) 10:17, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Special:AbuseFilter/652

Courtesy notice that I've disabled Special:AbuseFilter/652 due to inactivity. Hope this is okay! Of course feel free to re-enable if you think disruption has resumed. I'm trying to disable old, stale and rarely hit filters, and do some other cleanup, because we're regularly exceeding the condition limit. Kind regards — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:53, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Pakistan Super League

Hi admin! Wanted to ask for some help. Please check out edit history of this page, where an IP user is continuously making some edits, and getting reverts by other users. What can be done to that IP range (39.57.…)? I think this is the first edit by the IP user. Please comment, Thanks! M. Billoo 17:17, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.114.181.169 (talk) 09:34, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stepping into the middle of an edit war to support one particular side after the three main parties have been warned (and one sanctioned) suggests otherwise, or at least a connection to one or more of the involved editors. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:38, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reblock needed

Immediately after release from your block, this is continuing. Toddst1 (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That was six days ago? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:51, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Facepalm - I apparently needed more coffee. Toddst1 (talk) 14:58, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at WT:SPI

Could you please take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Sockpuppet_investigations#Mobabansos_and_Grace_Saunders? Thanks, Sro23 (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

phone block

I tried to log in using my phone yesterday and was notified you had edit blocked me for talk abuse. I think a mistake has been made because of a security issue involving multiple attempts to change my password when I was out of town a couple weeks ago. I have been involved in no disputes--and most certainly no talk abuse--and request the block be removed. It's a mistake. Please help! Jenhawk777 (talk) 14:53, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you fixed this or exactly what happened, but it's fixed now! If it was you, thank you thank you thank you!! Jenhawk777 (talk) 01:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jenhawk777: It looks like one of the many IP ranges your phone uses is blocked due to abuse from someone else. It's probably just easiest, if it happens again, to turn off your cellular data then turn it back on. That should work. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:23, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!Jenhawk777 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you!

i would like to celebrate you for blocking someone that vandalised my talk page AND User page. Thank you: and you're welcome! Bondboy9756 (talk) 08:32, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UHHMMH

I noticed that you blocked 2405:204:122F:A0B4:318C:E073:D9F3:80DA indefinitely, but according to this, they shouldn't be blocked indefinitely as they tend to change... --97.95.160.67 (talk) 03:38, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, thanks for the heads up. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:04, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Virtosuart

The editor is uploading a LARGE amount of what appears to be paintings of an art gallery onto Wikipedia. While still in sandbox mode, it would appear the editor is using Wiki as a free web hosting service?--Cahk (talk) 11:19, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cahk: Probably worth just leaving them a message about it initially, they're new enough that they might just not know what they're supposed to do. Are you happy to do that? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:21, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Already done. Will see what happens next.--Cahk (talk) 11:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional unblock

What are your thoughts as to updating WP:CONDUNBLOCK to have it as either logged in the unblock summary or at WP:ER. I think the issue here is that outside of the community based ER and the AELOG, most admins have no clue where to log other sanctions. Just looking at Wikipedia:Editing_restrictions#Final_warnings_/_Unblock_conditions, I'm highly confident that there are more than just that number of unblock conditions outstanding now that admins can and will enforce. I'm one of the people more familiar with the back end paperwork crap here and even I didn't know that existed until you pointed it out. Basically, the whole conversation about voluntary sanctions has me thinking of updating WP:ER and related pages to match how we actually practice. Pinging you on it since you pointed that section out to me. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:46, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the original discussion about including the central logging page in the policy. I think the block log is a must (even if just a permalink to the unblock conditions on the user's talk page), but I'm less fussed on WP:ER being a requirement. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 22:33, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for replying late, just saw this. I agree re: block log. I see Bishonen suggested that it be mandatory to log at the restrictions page. Pinging her before I start a talk page discussion there to try to remove it for her thoughts. Bish, like I said above, I'm better at the paperwork stuff than most admins, but I had no clue about this until Callanecc pointed it out at the current RfC about logged voluntary restrictions, and I suspect most other admins don't either (given, I'm fairly new, so take it for what it is worth.) TonyBallioni (talk) 03:14, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyBallioni: I suggested some kind of popup for the admin about logging at ER, because, as you say, we can't find it. (I only knew about that ER section because I had ferreted around forever trying to find somewhere to log Ratel's conditions.) That hasn't happened, has it? I now think it would be enough, and easy to find, if it's logged in the block log, including a link to the full-form restrictions on the user's page if needed. It would leave no need for logging at ER (which nobody can find), nor for an unremovable notice on the user's page (which would be horrible). If a user is being a problem, admins will look at their block log, won't they? And if they're not being a problem, then, what the hell, it doesn't matter about some old conditions, for my money. Bishonen | talk 08:51, 17 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]

A permanent link or diff in the block log linking to the full text version of the unblock conditions sounds good to me. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:21, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tap Tap Glee

Hi Callanecc. You deleted this article back in October 2017 because someone prodded it for notability reasons. Can you tell if this latest version is just a recreation of the deleted version or is a new attempt at creating the article with different content? I see you're busy, but there's no great rush on this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: I've restored the previous version so you can have a look. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:26, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Callanecc. The current version does seem to be more concise and less filled with cruft than the one you deleted. Moreover, another editor seems to have looked at it and tagged with {{Notability}} instead of nominating it for deletion. Does this recreation count as a deprod? Can someone prod this latest version or should it go to AfD? Not asking because I want to do so myself; just curious as to whether a {{Old prod full}} should be added to the article's talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:50, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit of a grey area, but I'd say that it should go to AfD rather than PROD. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think a {{Old prod full}} should be added to the talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Up to you, doesn't really matter too much either way. I think a bot does it though. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:43, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:51, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you missed their pinging of you, another editor has started an AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tap Tap Glee. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:38, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nitpicking wording

Is "in accordance with community sanctions" on Template:ArbCom abortion GSTP still correct? Arbcom took over those 1RR restrictions according to Wikipedia:General_sanctions#Arbitration_Committee_sanctions. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 15:47, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@NeilN: I've changed the transclusions to {{Ds/talk notice}} and nominated it for deletion. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:22, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Restrictions

I will appear the restrictions tomorrow evening. I assume that they don't automatically time out and I will need to use WP:ARCA. With the page creation I should be able to agree with Nilfanion what types of pages to create and with the moves, I think I have established at Commons that I understand how that works, such as discussing potentially controversial moves. I might be away a few days after but I hope that that shouldn't prevent the appeal, thanks. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:08, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
