Hi, welcome to the 23rd volume of my talk page.

More socks

Hi Daniel Case. I saw this and believe that this is part of the same pattern: 1; 2. Possibly linked to this user. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 03:42, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@Rui Gabriel Correia: There is a long and complicated discussion about this block that I was recently pinged about. Basically, I don't feel comfortable extending the block to the whole site due to a note saying, basically, don't change this block without consulting a checkuser. Adding more pages to the partial block was as far as I felt I could go. Daniel Case (talk) 19:26, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Bunk'd Cast Table

Hey there!

So recently, I had my edit reverted by a user who constantly reverts my edits and is quite rude about it. I forgot about the rule of waiting until a season premieres to make cast updates but I also added a table because there are so many cast changes on Bunk'd that I believed it would be beneficial. There are many Wikipedia pages that utilize this setup and I was only trying to do what I thought may be right. Reverting my edit and putting "No" as the reason is quite rude and I do not appreciate that user constantly doing that to me. I get it about the cast changes and not adding the new cast, but a table that is used for shows with such large cast turnovers? Plus, that took me a while to create and I just wanted to contribute. The user is Amaury. We are all editors on here and I know there are certain protocols that I may have forgotten but being civil and nice about things goes a long way.

Blocked on Dutch Wiki.

Hello Daniel,
My Dutch account [Gebruiker:Peter Horn] is blocked and I can not reach an administrator. I have tried EVERYTHING. My IP address is 70.24.224.136, not the one that they blocked
Peter Horn User talk 05:07, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Even my talk page is blocked. Peter Horn User talk 05:15, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Peter Horn: Unfortunately I am a) only an administrator here at enwiki and b) not very good at speaking Dutch. I can't do anything to help you there.

Perhaps you might see if there's a Dutch-native speaker here on enwiki (there are many others, as perhaps you know) and see if they might be able to get through to an admin there.

To be fair, this does seem rather extreme. Daniel Case (talk) 06:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, courtesy Google translate

You have no editing rights. The reason given for your block is: Open proxy - More information. If you only want to read Wikipedia, this is of no importance. You have access to all available information.

You clicked on a link to edit a page on Wikipedia, either to edit its text or to create a new article. You cannot (currently) do this because you are blocked. If you only want to read Wikipedia you are not missing anything.

User not logged in: if you are not using a user account and you receive this message, your external IP address has been blocked. An IP address is a number that identifies your computer on the Internet. Yours is 158.69.234.201. If there are problems with anonymous users, such as in the case of vandalism, their IP address is sometimes blocked. This is not necessarily meant personally. Many people share their IP address with other users. This is almost certainly the case if you are connected to the Internet through a school or company. Unwanted edits by someone else can unfortunately be the reason that you don't have editing rights now. It is also possible that your IP address has been blocked because you want to perform edits in Wikipedia via a mobile internet connection. Mobile networks assign dynamic IP addresses that are blocked from anonymous operations by default for security reasons. Solution: Some blocks are imposed for a short period of time. Look in the log until when the block is running. There you can also see which type of blocking has been imposed. If you see the entry only anonymous, then you will have editing rights if you log in as a registered user. If you also see the entry Create account blocked, then you cannot create an account via your current internet connection. However, if this last entry is not there, you can simply create a user account. Information about other solutions can be found on the Solutions for blocked users page. Registered user: Your user account may be blocked. If you don't know why you have been blocked, please check your talk page. You may find an explanation there. You can also continue to edit your talk page during a block and you can ask questions about the reason for the block; unless you have been explicitly denied this opportunity. For further questions, please contact the e-mail team of the Dutch Wikipedia. If you are a registered user, please also include a link to your user page.

All Dutch Wikipedians speak English as a second language. English is compulsory in secondary schools. Peter Horn User talk 06:32, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Peter Horn: Well, it does seem like your IP range is blocked there as well, and unlike us they allow IPs to be blocked indefinitely. I'm also surprised they blocked talk page access as well ... something we rarely do on a full range.

I'm going to try to post a request here and see if I can get someone's attention on your behalf. Daniel Case (talk) 06:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks a million. I have full editing rights on the English, German, French and Spanish Wikipediae. It is only the Dutch Wikipedia that is causing me a headache. Peter Horn User talk 15:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Peter Horn: it seems like someone deleted the request an hour and a half after I posted it. Was it handled? Daniel Case (talk) 18:23, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I was unblocked and enabled to edit. Thanks for following up. Peter Horn User talk 18:31, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hi Daniel Case, I know you have a busy schedule and a great deal to do on Wikipedia. I'd really appreciate it if you could take some time to review and restore the article. Thank you. Bionic (talk) 08:41, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

IP block length

Hello, I noticed that you blocked this IP here for 24 hours.

However, I would suggest that you elevate that to 31 hours to dissuade further vandalism.

(Take it this way: A 24 hour block would allow them to come back at the very next day, at the exact same time. A 31 hour block would disrupt that cycle, dissuading further vandalism.)

Let me know if you disagree. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 02:22, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@3PPYB6: 24 hours is the standard first-time block for a vandal, absent any (for me) aggravating factors like edit warring to restore it or violating BLP (things that are blockable by themselves). I reserve the 31-hour block for vandals known to have come from schools, if blocked near the beginning of their school day, to deter them from getting right back at it the next morning. We seem to have less vandalism clearly attributable to schools than we did 15 years ago—I suspect that's because most of the egregious repeat offender districts can be, and are now, blocked for more than a year at a time (I've put some away for five years). Daniel Case (talk) 02:28, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Yep, I've improved it I'd say one-and-three-quarters fold, but it's still B, so I think it would be great to get my hometown on the front page, could you do a review to see what stuff I should do? Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 23:11, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

AIV report

FYI on the report to AIV. This jumping between IPs and named accounts to abuse Wikipedia processes and have others blocked is not a new technique here. Best, CMD (talk) 07:35, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

{replyto|Chipmunkdavis}} Well, in that case he picked a good target, one who had gotten blocked for that sort of thing before. And of course dedicated sockmasters know to use a mix of IPs and registered accounts. Daniel Case (talk) 07:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

It's a good target in that respect because their first block was caused through exactly the same method by another sock. Speaking of this master, could you semi everything here asap please? Thanks, CMD (talk) 07:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

It was unusually fortuitous compared to previous sprees. However, letting a vandal keep you up seems the opposite of RBI. In an unusually bold move it's on AN/I now, so hopefully it'll get dealt with. Have a good night, CMD (talk) 08:06, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Follow up

Hello, you restricted this user KMO2014 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) for disruptions in past years, and I'm seeing that the pattern has continued. The vandalized past four official warnings on Daydream World Tour and Butterfly World Tour pages. They continue to remove sourced material - an accepted biography source across Carey pages that meets source criteria. Could an editing ban from these pages or across Wiki be imposed on this user again to prevent further disruptions? Ilovetati91 (talk) 05:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Well, I blocked them once, like, 71⁄2 years ago. And looking at the page it seems really like this is not clear-cut vandalism, since of course they're responding. But it is getting disruptive. Had this been reported at AIV, I'd suggest taking it to AN/I at least and seeing what other people there might think. Daniel Case (talk) 06:58, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Bot reports at ANI

We often cross paths reviewing bot reports at ANI. I notice that you often decline reports noting that you've warned the editor, but it's often the case the editor has already received many warnings prior to yours. With the case of User:104.13.12.53, for example, they received this warning 5 times and this warning specifically noting a possible block about 14 times, but still proceeded with attempting to vandalize. Are you assuming that if their talk pages are red they they haven't been warned? Some admins won't block if the talk page is red, which I get, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the warning process that's built into the abuse filter. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ponyo: No, I was not, since of course I've never gotten blocked by the filter myself. I will take that into consideration in the future. (It would be nice if other admins knew that, too ... maybe it's time to make a guide to admins for reviewing those reports. A lot has changed since I first started doing AIV 15 years ago).

I only know because someone pointed it out to me, now I'm paying it forward (ha!). It's just another bit of data that can be taken into consideration when evaluating the bot reports.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

BTW, how do we know which of those warnings the user has received from the software? The reports of filter activity include a lot of technical information that isn't really necessary to determine what, if any, action to take, and actually gets in the way of doing so. Maybe they could create a more admin-friendly version. Daniel Case (talk) 19:56, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

When you view the filter log linked in the AIV report, each trigger of the filter will include "action taken" followed by either "log", "tag", "warn", or "disallow", the outcome of each of the four actions are described at WP:EFBASICS.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:27, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

OK ... thanks! I actually took a look again and saw that. I think blocks purely for triggering the edit filter are a good argument for something we haven't done in routinely in a while: blocks shorter than 24 hours.

It might also be a good idea to put this info in the edit notice for the bot reports page. Daniel Case (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Every admin has their own threshold for a block. I still give a level 3 or 4 warn if the edits aren't overtly malicious, or if they only tripped the filter a few times. There aren't as many admins acting on the bot reports as the regular ones, perhaps due to their unfamiliarity with the filters. A bit of extra documentation couldn't hurt.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:48, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

I started reviewing those reports back in 2007 or so, before there were filters. Daniel Case (talk) 20:54, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

WP:LTA/TFD

Just wanted to say thanks for handling a lot of my reports about WP:LTA/TFD lately. It's decently frustrating to deal with a vandal who operates on large ranges, but at least two of the ranges they've used in the last month don't seem to have much collateral than their other ones, so perhaps another rangeblock is in order again? I did try and discuss this some months ago with some people but got no response.

These 2 recent ones in particular are used by the vandal quite a bit and don't have too much collateral:

• 101.180.0.0/18 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))
• 120.155.0.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))

Told bot to take report to ANEW

Hey! I noticed that you responded to a bot report at WP:AIV telling the bot to take the report to ANEW. May I ask why you used that template instead of just saying it was a false positive or something else? I'm only asking because, well, it's a bot. It can't take the report to ANEW unless the bot operator temporarily uses the account to do so. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:50, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Indef'd IP

Hey Daniel, I was scrolling through the block list, and I noticed Special:Contributions/47.187.214.158 was indefinitely blocked. Does the IP need that? It appears to only have 2 edits. ThatIPEditor ^{Talk · Contribs} 22:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Two articles about creeks

There's an ongoing project known as WP:URFA/2020 that is looking to re-review all older featured articles (those promoted or last reviewed at WP:FAR from 2015 or before). The oldest block of the list is the 2004-2006 section at WP:URFA/2020A. We're hoping to get all of these reviewed by the end of the year, but there's a couple articles about creeks (Larrys Creek and White Deer Hole Creek) that we're having a bit of trouble getting sorted. I remember your work on Esopus Creek, and was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at those two. I know there's a bit of stuff in each that need updating, but I'm not entirely sure what the comprehensiveness status would be for either.

2001:8003:2438:a600:986c:c6a3:2785:182e

Hey, thanks very much for the block there, but for IPV6 addresses like that, please remember to block the /64. I've undone your block of that single IP ... and, well, this block log speaks for itself. Graham87 16:03, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

It was reported as a single IP. I do block the range when it is suggested, but I do not think we should routinely swing the /64 hammer due to the collateral damage possibility ... I review unblock requests too, and that's where you sometimes see that show up. Daniel Case (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Can you give an example of a valid unblock request where blocking the /64 vs a single IP would have made a difference? I'm curious; I thought that was really really rare (mostly AT&T Mobility addresses which are easy to recognize). FWIW the vast majority of AIV regulars do block the /64 preemptively; modern operating systems change the user's IP frequently, to protect their privacy, so blocking a single IP is pointless. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I think many (most?) admins will block the /64 as it's nearly always a single allocation and the same as blocking a single IPv4 IP. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:19, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Then why don't we just block all IPv6 addresses pre-emptively then? Daniel Case (talk) 22:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Because that would be no different than blocking all IPv4 addresses preemptively. The block is for the individual who is disrupting, and a block of a single IPv6 address is rarely effective, which is why many admins block the /64 which, in the majority of cases, is allocated to that single individual. As with all admin actions, you can choose how you want to use the buttons, but blocking a single IPv6 outside of the instances noted at User:TonyBallioni/Just block the /64 is rarely effective at curbing the disruptive behaviour you're trying to prevent. It's like partial-blocking a vandal one article at a time instead of site wide.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:29, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

OK ... why don't we put that, or a link to it, at the top of AIV? I solemnly swear that I will swing that hammer hard in the future. Daniel Case (talk) 22:33, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

It's all just advice. It's not so much swinging hard, it's avoiding swinging in vain. Gotta keep that arm in proper mop-wielding form!-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:46, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

We are supposed to decide before even reviewing unblock requests whether they are "valid" or not? Hell of a way to assume good faith. Daniel Case (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps that wasn't the best word. I mean, can you give an example of an unblock request, that you accepted? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:43, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Um, and while we're on the subject, you realize you blocked a /32 not a /64 after this decline? Five years seems excessive, and given how huge a /32 range can be, the user might well have been telling the truth. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

I knocked it down to a year. I couldn't figure out how to block the /64 on that one. And based on the contribs, if that user wants to edit they can create an account. Daniel Case (talk) 03:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

That's better, but why did you escalate the block at all? That range covers a large geographical area of Ohio and Kentucky. It might be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Charter customers. It's perfectly plausible that that was someone unrelated to the other disruption. Indeed the other two edits from 2603:6010:9002:7E00::/64 look like good-faith edits (though one is unsourced, but at least plausible based on a quick Google search). How did you conclude that Yes you did without CU-glasses? And why did you remove TPA? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 17:51, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Hi Daniel. I wonder could you take a look at 31.187.7.220 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who you blocked for 1 year on 29 August 2021? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:17, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Martinevans123: According to the IP's block log, Yamla shortened the block to six months abaout a month after I made the block. Daniel Case (talk) 20:36, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for emplaining. May have been a rash move. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:46, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Interesting. I don't remember that specific instance, but it was not my intention to shorten the block. To be honest, I'm not sure what happened there. I speculate I was trying to match it up with the block on Wiww51 and stop further logged-in editing, and just didn't notice the existing block. Had I been deliberately trying to shorten the block, I'd have checked in with Daniel Case. You are most certainly welcome to reintroduce the block and just frown in my general direction. --Yamla (talk) 21:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

IPs editing animation-related articles, again

Hey there. I saw that you have blocked Special:Contributions/68.131.33.163 and at least one other IP who have been making disruptive edits on various animation-related articles - looks like they're back, this time at Special:Contributions/71.120.206.83. Same edits as the previous ones. Is there an SPI case or something targeting these, or is this just a whack-a-mole situation with these IPs? Tony Fox (arf!) 02:33, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Short-term, the problem is solved: I blocked them for six months as well. And I may extend the block on the other IP for this.

Long-term, this is not so much SPI material as ... well, long-term abuse. We should see how persistent he tries to be. Daniel Case (talk) 03:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

OJ trial

Hi, I was wondering if you’ve considered editing the OJ trial Wikipedia page so it can be less slanted towards the prosecution? I’ve tried to in the past but my edits always ended up getting reverted. Kayjewel (talk) 02:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

I would very much like to but that would require making it my number one thing for a period of weeks, and that spot is, at the moment, taken by several other things.

Someday ... Daniel Case (talk) 03:54, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

I understand. Hopefully you aren’t met with resistance whenever you embark on that journey. Kayjewel (talk) 07:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

I probably will be, but I've sailed into stiff headwinds before. Daniel Case (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

That’s frustrating. Have you read the late F. Lee Bailey’s book about the trial? That would be a good source to update the page. Kayjewel (talk) 05:15, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

My favorite book on the trial (I cited it in the Brett Cantor and Killing of Michael Nigg articles) is A Problem of Evidence by the late Joe Bosco, one of the four writers who had a permanent seat at the trial (and really the only real book to come out of those prime seats, as the late Dominick Dunne only wrote a thinly-veiled novel about the case, Joe McGinniss was so disgusted by the whole thing he returned his advance and didn't write anything about it, and despite all the praise heaped on Jeffrey Toobin's book Bosco notes in passing that he was absent from the trial for long stretches of time because his wife back in Brooklyn had just given birth to their first child.

There are a lot of really interesting tidbits in Bosco's book that suggest there were a lot of deeper things going on that (sometimes) both sides and the media worked very hard to keep out of the courtroom.

Unfortunately I don't know where my copy is—my MIL borrowed it some time ago and she says she returned it but I have not found it in years of searching, and unfortunately it seems to be out of print. Daniel Case (talk) 06:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

I’ve read Bosco’s A Problem of Evidence, I agree with you it’s a great book. It’s actually available for free on the website below, you just have to create an account: https://archive.org/details/problemofevidenc00bosc

I also recommend reading Stephen Singular’s book Legacy of Deception: An Investigation of Mark Fuhrman and Racism in the LAPD if you haven’t already.

Kayjewel (talk) 06:16, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

It's referenced in Briggs and Freed's Killing Time, another book I've used as a source and highly recommend, although it's better on the timeline issues than other aspects of the case. Daniel Case (talk) 06:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

I became obsessed with the OJ case years ago so I read a bunch of books about it including Killing Time too, which I thought was well done and fascinating. Legacy of Deception explains how and why Simpson was framed. Court TV’s OJ25 is the most objective and truthful docuseries about the trial, but it’s only available to watch on YouTube. If you’re looking to rewatch the trial I would recommend it as well. Kayjewel (talk) 06:24, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

What is etymology?

Hello. I am contacting you because of a discussion about etymology on another website, Final Fantasy Fandom. That wiki gives a definition of etymology, followed by a link to Wikipedia etymology page (their page here), and then features 2700 etymologies (list here), almost all of them being similar to these three:

• Etymology of absolute zero: Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.
• Etymology of fire: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
• Etymology of Shiva: Shiva (also spelled Śiva) is a Hindu god. The Hindu Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. [etc. etc.]

Are these three examples etymologies, or not? Since you are an active member of Wikipedia Linguistics Project and Wikipedia Etymology Task Force, your opinion could solve the discussion (if you prefer to avoid any involvement, just write it, I will understand). Thank you in advance for your time and attention. --Abacos (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

All three of these are definitions, not etymologies. Daniel Case (talk) 17:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind answer. For your information, I agree with you, while the Final Fantasy Fandom states that etymology means "detailing the origins of terminology used in the series in regards to real world culture and history". --Abacos (talk) 13:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello. About your judgment on Peter Obi

Hello and I hope this message meets you well. I saw your judgement on the edit warring complaint on the article Peter Obi. And although I thank you for your effort, I am displeased with the outcome. So just take this as an appeal and here is why

This here is the link to the Wikipedia article about achieving concensus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus

The last paragraph under the subtopic Through Editing says: "Be bold, but not rash. Whether changes come through editing or through discussion, the encyclopedia is best improved through collaboration and consensus, not through combat and capitulation. Repeated reversions are contrary to Wikipedia policy under edit warring, except for specific policy-based material [such as BLP exceptions] and for reversions of vandalism. This is true even if editors are using edit summaries to "discuss" the dispute every time they revert."

The exceptions here for BLP are in cases of vandalism or added content without citations, none of which I'm culpable for. Clearly the user violated the 3R rule. You said in your judgement that the edit warring stopped two days ago and that's true. But it only stopped because I, the complainant, chose not to tow the path of edit warring and 3R violation, following Wikipedia rules. The other editor clearly violated that rule

Again in the same concensus article, under the subtopic Through Discussion whic says: "....Keep in mind, however, that administrators are primarily concerned with policy and editor behavior and will not decide content issues authoritatively. They may block editors for behaviors that interfere with the consensus process (such as edit-warring, abuse of multiple accounts, or a lack of civility)."

He keeps talking about the content of the article, which though important, isn't the primary basis on which Wikipedia administrators make judgement for conflicts. Rather judgement is drawn from violating Wikipedia policy which he did by violating the 3R rule and removing cited content as regards BPL violations.

Please do the needful. It's a bad precedence for a person to get away with a clear violation because me, I intentionally chose to do things the right way and the other person who did things the wrong way is the one getting rewarded. He/She has to face the music for violating the 3R rule before we talk about consensus, that's justice.

Can I simply ask that you "revsion-delete" the comment I made here which violated CIVIL policies. Apart from it being somewhat "on the spur of the heated moment", what I said no longer applies anyhow since the user with whom I had the dispute and I have both retracted previous actions toward one another and are now moving on without mutual hostility.

Vandalizing flag of Saudi Arabia.svg

Hi, User:Xpërt3 is vandalizing File:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg since the file I uploaded is matched to Royal Decree 1973 page 10 and it’s shown on the source.

PJ and Thomas

Sorry to bother you but since the DYK nomination there are two editors continuously doing mass removal of sourced content without any explanation or rationale rather than following WP:BRD. Their edit summary reads 'rem bs'! And then referring to WP:PUFF as the alleged reason behind their content removal which is not the case at all. Bionic (talk) 17:02, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I see that, per their exhortation, you have been discussing this at the talk page. Let's see how that plays out. Daniel Case (talk) 21:39, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Thus far, it's been nothing but a gang-up. Personal attacks, prejudging, and bad faith accusations right off the bat and then resorting to all sorts of fallacies to take advantage of the rules & guidelines by cherry-picking certain statements to prevent an editor from improving the article and adding sourced content.

50% of the article was removed with a total disregard for WP:BRD and they cited WP:PUFF as the reason! It has nothing to do with puffery. Their argument is flawed. A bunch of quotes from some interviews explaining the process of their projects or adoption is not lauding praise on them.

It's apparent by their approach that they have a sense of ownership here just because they're more experienced Wikipedians. I mean they said in their own words that I should just go away, let them handle everything and I have no say in the matter.

Besides the mass removal, the other edits, including changing "PJ & Thomas" to "the McKays" which is against WP:UCRN, and refusing to put the full birth date parameter although the exact date is already widely published, all speak to the fact that they just want to say the last word, they're basing their arguments on personal feelings rather than on the actual policies and they simply want to call the shots because they can! I'm no administrator or bureaucrat, I don't have as much experience, and haven't created as many articles so I should just shut it down & go play in traffic. Bionic (talk) 11:04, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

If I will revert, you will block me. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 00:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

True; I would block both you and him. I can ask him to stop as this is not productive, and suggest you all find some sort of dispute resolution method which will bring in other, more disinterested voices to reach a consensus solution.

I think I will, in fact. Daniel Case (talk) 02:00, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

@Daniel Case, And can you undo all his edits yourself, which he made without discussion and consensus? I think it will be right. Ilnur efende (talk) 06:21, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

I think it can already be blocked, because after the end of the blocking period, he started canceling my edits again ([3], [4]). He refers to certain standards in Wikipedia, but refuses to provide them, although I have asked him more than once. And even after warnings and blocking, it continues to wage a war of edits, as can be seen from the link above. Ilnur efende (talk) 06:27, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

It's very late for me; I will worry about this tomorrow. He left a long response in Russian, and I'm not up to reading it and translating right now. He also hasn't been making any more of these edits. Daniel Case (talk) 06:35, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Can you stop the user already, and undo his edits? He does not compromise on anything, even discussing something, he makes his edits, breaking the rules. he did not answer any questions or requests. And he did not even provide links to what he relies on, but only walks in a circle, with vague answers Ilnur efende (talk) 20:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

The rules of Latin transliteration, books, and authoritative sources on the Tatar orthogra are given on this page. Ilnur efende (talk) 20:39, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

So far he has not, except for one edit, returned to articles he has previously edited, and that was to add a {{fact}} tag, which is probably a better way to voice his concerns than a revert. That page on transliteration is in the Tatar Wikipedia; I cannot tell because I don't speak or read that language how "official" it is, and in any event it wouldn't by itself be a rule here. Daniel Case (talk) 02:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Daniel Case. I am no longer going to negotiate with the Ilnurefende member. The participant had previously lied that I insulted him as a “blind nationalist”. The participant does not want to provide authoritative sources of information. Raise the issue of the "Tatar Latin alphabet" at the level of the administration of the English Wikipedia. I don't want to waste any more time, since the Ilnurefende member is not ready for dialogue, I suggested a compromise, give an authoritative source of information and add the Latin alphabet.

But it did not help.

If the group of administrators of the English Wikipedia decides that the Tatar Latin alphabet is needed, let them add it. If they decide that it is not necessary, they will remove it. RedBull1984 (talk) 05:24, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Per M.Bitton below, administrators are not the group that decides this ... it's a community issue, in which of course admins can participate. I have looked at our official pages on romanization and transliteration, and none of them speak explicitly of Tatar (although it seems we might find some guidance at WP:CYR from other languages that use that alphabet) or of whether to use Latin or Cyrillic in the article lede to show how it would be rendered in Tatar.

From here, I gather that the issue is complex locally and we cannot draw any guidance from Tatar law or common practice.

What this really needs is an RfC or some sort of more formal discussion to lay down a policy. Daniel Case (talk) 06:44, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

MOS:FORLANG might also help. Basically, we include a single foreign language equivalent name (the one that the article is closely associated, according to RS) and add the other names to a footnote. M.Bitton (talk) 18:51, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

That's not in dispute here. There is no doubt that these names are Tatar. The question is whether to render the Tatar names in the Cyrillic or Latin alphabets, and apparently that's been a subject of some dispute among Tatar speakers for most of this century. And our policies do not reach issues like this at the moment. Daniel Case (talk) 21:44, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

When the Ilnurefende member was blocked, M.Bitton requested authoritative sources of information about the Tatar Latin alphabet. The Ymblanter administrator canceled edits about the Tatar Latin alphabet. Let the administrators decide whether the Latin alphabet is needed or not. RedBull1984 (talk) 05:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

• Replying to the ping. I'm not an admin and in any case, admins don't get involved in content disputes. Yes, I did mention the need to find reliable sources, but that was done to prevent the edit war (which sadly and despite the previous blocks, is still ongoing). M.Bitton (talk) 12:34, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

the user does not answer questions on his page. I couldn't answer what he relies on when waging edit wars. and he did not give a single reference to his words, although I asked him several times. Ilnur efende (talk) 20:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Tatar is my native language, and I studied transliteration at the institute, but the user deletes the information without any knowledge, even though I gave him a page with the rules Ilnur efende (talk) 20:56, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Help needed with a vandal

Hello Daniel, I really need your help with with a vandal that you blocked before (User talk:85.74.236.227), due to his vandalism on the page of Howard Sant-Roos. The vandal uses multiple IP adresses (User contributions for 85.75.35.89, Special:Contributions/2.86.220.16), but it's pretty clear that we are talking about the same person, because he uses the same pattern in his reverts. When I reported him a week ago on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, I stated that a few hours block wouldn't do any good, because he would propably come back and do the same all over again. Indeed, when his 72-hour block ended, he came back vandalising the same page, reverting our edits again, only with different IP adresses this time. I really hope that you can do something about that. Panosgatto (talk) 22:12, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree. I would need some assistance with LTA though, because I haven't done it before. Panosgatto (talk) 07:40, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Neither have I . What you should do first is compile a list of all the known IPs/ranges/accounts this user has used. And write a description. Look at other LTA pages for examples; we can keep this in draftspace or userspace until we're ready.

And maybe we should ask some of the other users who've put these LTA pages together whether one for this vandal would be a good idea ... I mean, all of these LTA pages are IMO technically at odds with WP:DENY. Daniel Case (talk) 19:44, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

OK then. I think the next time he hits, we'll be ready to do this. Panosgatto (talk) 08:02, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I think it's time to proceed with an LTA page. New IP addresses from the moron (Special:Contributions/2.87.219.91, Special:Contributions/79.130.19.196) who attacks again the same page (Howard Sant-Roos). Panosgatto (talk) 12:43, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Edit war over verifikado.com

Hi Daniel Case. Thanks for closing NoonIcarus's 3RN request. Sorry to involve you with it further, but could you suggest how I address NoonIcarus continuation of the edit-warring after you closed it? [5][6][7].

I've gone ahead actually started article talk page discussions for each, tagged the reference, and treated it and another reference by the same author as an opinion piece that's undue in the one article that uses it directly. I've also left NoonIcarus a formal edit-warring notice. Hipal (talk) 00:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Best regards. If I might comment on this, after Hipal has self reverted and instead opted for inline tagging to reflect their concerns ([8][9][10], my request to restore the stable version has been satisfied (which means I wouldn't have any edits to revert to start with). However, I have also left an edit-warring notice on Hipal's talk page because of their continued reverts from the stable version.

While we're at it, would you be willing to serve as an intermediary for the dispute? I believe I have explained my points thoroughly and that the inline tags should be removed, but I'd be glad to continue discussing the issue as long as it is needed. --NoonIcarus (talk) 01:04, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

JellyJammest

Hello, please could you remove the entire content of User:JellyJammest's user page too and revoke access to that as well since it violates WP:NONAZIS? Also they mention something called the Numbrstationinquestion on that page which is Nazi-related - although I don't know how exactly - and their edit history and the link from that page shows their interactions with accounts that also have that on their pages. They've been interacting with each other. One of them has a userpage saying they're a fan of the numbrstationinquestion, with a picture of Hitler next to that. These might be further sockpuppets, and even if they aren't they're still Nazi accounts.

Thank you. Here's one of the users: User:MrPaperSonic

And on: User talk:NUMBRstation Papersonic has left an anti-vandalism barnstar with a picture of Hitler on it and a mention of the numbrstationinquestion again Stephanie921 (talk) 04:13, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I saw these things. I think it would be best to open an SPI. Do you want to do it or should I? Daniel Case (talk) 04:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I'd appreciate if u did it cos my battery's on 2% and it's 05:19 in England so I need to have a kip. Thanks for asking though! Stephanie921 (talk) 04:19, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Ah ... OK. It's 12:30 a.m. here on North American EDT and I'm on a desktop as I usually am, so no battery issues. Will get around to doing. Daniel Case (talk) 04:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

awesome, tyvm!

I'll reply to your other msg tomorrow- but just quickly to clear up possible confusion and alert u to a problem - whenever I go on ur user talk page on mobile it instantly directs me to a section saying "Bruxton has given you transistors". Going back leads me to the last page I was on, not the talk page. The only way I can circumvent this is by consciously hitting the new topic button faster than usual when I go on your talk page - or clicking 'desktop site' at the bottom before I go on your talk. Just wanted to explain why some of my edits have not got a mobile edit tag Stephanie921 (talk) 04:54, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Reviewing

I noticed you'd reviewed my user page :) What does that mean? Stephanie921 (talk) 04:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

It basically is a little line of text that appears at the bottom of newly created pages (go look at Special:NewPages) indicating that someone with the patrol user right has looked at it and finds it OK. Some user talk pages go forever without anyone clicking on it. Daniel Case (talk) 04:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Devanga

Hello, you recently protected Devanga. As you can see from the history, the IP address (106.*.*.*) which previously used Truthdevanga and dozen of different IP address and has resumed with We4horsemen after making 10 edit today to get to auto confirmed status. Could you ECP the article per WP:GS/CASTE for socking. Thanks - SUN EYE 1 05:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

176.58.0.0/16

Hello, thank you for blocking this IP for one week. Just so you know, this person has been making disruptive edits a month ago (visit previous edits from here, it's *insane*). Will probably continue to vandalise once expired. gn. 7szz (talk) 09:22, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Let me know if it happens. Daniel Case (talk) 17:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't know how this person keeps editing being blocked. Úrsula Corberó has been protected but now they're vandalising Chino Darín. Look here. 😮‍💨. 7szz (talk) 16:03, 30 July 2022 (UTC) Also here. 7szz (talk) 16:36, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Blocked for two weeks for block evasion. I guess they're resourceful in looking for proxies or such. I will also extend the original block. Daniel Case (talk) 18:05, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

And keeps evading (btw, I know it's them because they're also vandalising the Spanish-language wiki.) 7szz (talk) 02:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Blocked now ... Daniel Case (talk) 02:33, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Nice work! Andrevan@ 00:05, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

2409:4089::/34

Hi Daniel. I'm not sure if you noticed the detail of this block. With this block I recommend a partial hard block, or a total soft block, or even a separate soft block for user talk pages, but not a hard block for user talk pages. I'm not sure I'd recommend a talk page block at all, but I'm probably missing something. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 19:26, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

The reporter said this is an LTA who often leaves threats to users ... figured I'd pre-empt that. Daniel Case (talk) 19:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Maybe, though I can't readily see anything in the contribs or history. We can't really block the whole of user talk from any account on that range. How about a normal range block in preference? -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 19:36, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

So sorry! The threats aren't actually on user pages, I should have said that the threats were always directed towards the article's subject, as that's always been the case when I've reverted their edits. I opened up an SPI here. Blablubbs helped me to identify the sockmaster so I'll now be able to reference them in any reports I make moving forward. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:38, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Addendum: There's no such thing, currently, as a "separate" block. We have the option of either a total or partial block ... not both. If I changed it to a total block, it would override the partial block completely. Perhaps (no, this is not a "perhaps"—this needs to be changed), this is something we should ask for when they ask us what we want in the way of tech improvements come December. Daniel Case (talk) 19:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. We can compound multiple blocks on other ranges, such as /33 or /35. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 19:36, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

We can block a single IP within a range that's already blocked, yes.

I will lift the hardblock, though. Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Addendum: The range was hardblocked by one of the previous blocking admins. Daniel Case (talk) 19:39, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I think that might have been me, which is partly why I'm here. Anyway, I'm currently seeing what else is practical for this vandal. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 19:42, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

3RR closure

Hello Daniel. I wrote this at the bottom of the 3RR since I noticed you putting 'Warned' in the header. Did you mean to attach a more explicit close? This was a rather confusing case. Thanks, 20:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@EdJohnston:I noticed that Marek had warned him and I thought he meant that had happened recently. On a pure EW level I don't see this as actionable, but as he notes it's beyond that. Daniel Case (talk) 00:40, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

"warned hi"

Hello, I'm afraid I don't understand this post [11]. I don't understand if it is addressed to me and the meaning of "warned hi". I ask this question on your talk page because probably it's not of general interest. Thanks, Gitz (talk) (contribs) 00:51, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Unsourced edit

Hi! I noticed that you blocked Deedee123123a (on his talk page) for unsourced material. He made unsourced change [12] again. I don't know waht to do in this situation. Could you help? Cofcorpse (talk) 16:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I have blocked them again, this time for 48 hours. I also revoked talk page access due to their response to their last block. Daniel Case (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! What is the correct procedure so that I know how to proceed in the future? Cofcorpse (talk) 18:48, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

You probably could report them to AIV, although I don't mind messages here as well if you feel it's hard to explain at AIV. Daniel Case (talk) 19:54, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Is this an unsolved murder or not?

Hi, please let me know if this Collet Barker is an unsolved murder or not as his killers were identified, but not charged. Davidgoodheart (talk) 06:20, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I suppose you could say so. Daniel Case (talk) 19:54, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Continuous disruption

Last month you blocked that user for poorly sourced changes [13]. They are doing the same thing on the [14] Constantine the Great article, although their previous attempts were reverted by other editors [15][16]. Frankly, the username itself suggests the editor might not be interested in neutral editing in the topic. It refers to a nationalistic discussion on the origin of the Romanians. Can you take a look? Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:31, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Same there. Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:40, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I have now blocked them indefinitely partly on the username basis. Daniel Case (talk) 19:54, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your response to the concerns I raised. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 01:37, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

DYK for PJ and Thomas

On 18 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article PJ and Thomas, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that PJ and Thomas were the first gay couple to host an HGTV show? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/PJ and Thomas. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, PJ and Thomas), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Blocked user right back at it

Hi! An IP you recently blocked (187.110.136.117, 2 days ago) for "disruptive removal of material" is right back at it with the same behaviour. Since it's disruptive and not strictly vandalism, I didn't want to report them at AIV. I hope it's alright that I message you directly. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Blocked again for 72 hours this time. Don't feel like it has to be vandalism to report to AIV. Sufficiently disruptive editing makes no difference. Daniel Case (talk) 20:33, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I know it makes no difference, I just tend to err on the side of caution with regards to AIV reports, I guess. Anyway, thanks for dealing with it so quickly! Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 20:42, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

On 24 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Logan v. Zimmerman Brush Co., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Persistent policy violators on Magnetic tape, radio, et al.

@Daniel Case, Jc37, and Acroterion:

Hello. User:Kvng has repeatedly ignored multiple warnings on his talk page and on others to cease violating WP:V/WP:CS/WP:NOR, et al., by adding uncited material to articles, or reverting edits in which I moved uncited material to the article's talk page pending addition of proper citations (an approach that I worked out as a compromise back in a 2009 discussion with other editors on Jimbo Wales' talk page). Kvng's defense during these discussions has essentially been 1. To falsely accuse me of "bullying" for requiring citations (while declining to explain, when I politely asked how holidng other editors to that requirement falls under the definition of "bullying"), 2 to claim that "consensus is more important than policy" (a False Either/Or statement, when in fact, policy reflects consesus, as it explicitly states here, and as I pointed out to him and his allies here, to no response), and 3. to argue that there are other editors who support these policy violations with him. This is not a valid rationale for violating them, as none of those other editors have provided any responses to my debunking of their falsehoods or fallacies, repeatedly employing different evasions ([17] [18]), and even attempting, in Kvng's case, to tell other admins to butt out, which earned him an admonition from another admin not to do this. Kvng attempted to report me at ANI, but ANI judged my talk page moves and reverts to be "no violation".

I gave Kvng a final warning here, but he again reverted the uncited material that had been moved to the talk page.

If you put a block on this, it may finally send a message to editors who think they can violate WP:NOR, et al (including User:Chetvorno, for example, who admitted that he wrote most of the Radio article without citing sources, but who refused to answer my polite question five days ago as to why he did this), even though he continued to edit subsequent to my question. Please help. If you cannot impose this block yourself, can you contact an uninvolved administrator to do so? If you do not, then entire articles filled with OR by editors like Chetvorno will continue. Let's put a stop to this. Let's encourage policy violators to add cites to uncited material by taggin the material, and then, after a reaonable length of time, moving to the talk page as a workspace, okay? Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 22:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

@Daniel Case, Jc37, and Acroterion:

User:Chetvorno and User: Fountains of Bryn Mawr are continuing to violate the aforementioned policies by restoring large amounts of uncited material to the Radio article. Nightscream (talk) 22:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
