UTRS appeal #70412

is closed. @HJ Mitchell:, user has left you a bequest. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:31, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Downsizing (property)

The article Downsizing (property) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia should not be turned into a dictionary nor a "How To" guide. Apart from these two, this article contains no encyclopaedic information of any value to the reader.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — kashmīrī ^TALK 01:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

UTRS appeal #73102

is convincing enough that I'd like to restore TPA. Don't recall if there is a CBAN. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:56, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

@El C: What say ye? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

unblock request 28 May 2023

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Djm-leighpark (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

My editing merited a block because I was incorrect to challenge an administrator as I did following block following the 16 April 2022 ANI; even if I felt convinced I had due cause. The fact this arose out of harassment by a block-evading sock is in many ways irrelevant - I accept I needed to maintain better control even in this and other difficult situations and I had overly-harassed the sock myself in that case before the sockpuppetry was known. I acknowledge with shame some of my earlier interactions with administrators (and others) in some pressure situations: most especially in some cases where I was totally wrong. I also need to avoid the use of slang, as identified in of one (or more) of my blocks. I will focus in the future to ensure problems are raised calmly through the proper channels and processes and avoid BATTLEGROUND and CIR.

For constructive edits on the English Wikipedia I would expect to be improving a range of articles though I regard my particular areas of interest are Irish Railway History, some biographies (mostly non-blp e.g. engineers and whatever the BBC news website throws up), local/Irish settlement articles, and local/Irish river systems. In particular I am keen to improve article sourcing and have been accumulating books and and identifying books online for this purpose. I would resume doing anti-vandal work etc. Regardless of the outcome of this appeal I (as DeirgeDel) expect to continue activity on Wikidata, Commons, enWQ and gaWP but would likely avoid :simpleWP as too difficult!

If possible I would like to request a Standard Offer please.

Thankyou in anticipation and feel free to ask any specific questions. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 00:24, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

I can carry this over to AN, if you'd like. Is this unblock request what you'd like to be posted? — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:49, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

@Ingenuity:: That would be fantastic, I confess to being a little frustrated seeing it sitting here stalled and nothing happening and wondering what and when will something happen next, its been a little mentally stressing. I think carry over the request warts and all as it is to AN and hopefully I can address any questions asked of me to people's satisfaction. Thankyou. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 16:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

I've posted at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Unblock_request_for_Djm-leighpark. Please ping me if you'd like anything else copied over. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 16:54, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Obviously I seen @SnowFire:'s comment at AN. To context the situation to my best good faith recollection, and I stand to be corrected, issues generally arose around the Overwriting (prose) AFD (A BOLD creation which really help bring the useful DAB into order in my opinion), Overwriting (computer science) AFD, and the Overwrite/Overwriting DAB (which needs improvement). I suspect I may have upset SnowFire at Talk:Overwriting (computer science) and have vague recollections (quite very possibly inaccurate) of a move discussion raised in parallel with the AfD. I certainly recall having a discussion with SnowFire that would have left them likely feeling very angry so an apology is probably in order for that. When making my unblock request I have already said "I acknowledge with shame some of my earlier interactions with administrators (and others) in some pressure situations"; there will be more than SnowFire in those others. However I am concerned with advice that I should avoid collaberation and anti-vandal work. I'll be open with the community that DeirgeDel is now my main non-enWP account and if you need to be giving that no collaberation advice here then it probably also to be supplied to sister project [Wikiquote] also. You'll find some frank discussions there but also some very excellent support for newbies in an environment beset with block-evading socks at times. A new article restriction would seem harsh and if that is what is required so be it: AfC is an alternative but I have had two very horrendous AfC experiences; albeit I am very supportive of the AfC and NPP system. I think my last new article on the English Wikipedia was Rolls-Royce SMR which really merged content from three others articles to upgrade a re-direct; SnowFire's requested restriction might prevent me from creating anything like that again. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 11:18, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

@SnowFire:: I see some good faith issues with your response at 15:07, 10 June 2023; especially about not collaberating. I think I'm correct in saying Overwriting (computer science) was an established article (not mine) and I believe some say PRODing long established articles is not best practice. I dePRODed it as I was considering a WP:HEY but ultimately decided there were too many issues. I think the setup of Overwriting/Overwriting as a DAB page which could also point to wikt worked really well. But a DAB page needs 3 articles to point to and my article Overwriting (prose) was a BOLD attempt to support the DAB with a third option. I was really frustrated at merge to Talk:Verbosity#Merger proposal 2022 with rational including That article was created in 2019 by an editor since banned for CIR. To be very clear I'd say any use of CIR likely puts mental stress on the target person and the CIR essay cautions very carefully on how it must be carefully used. Technically I'm not banned albeit I've got a pretty fair idea where you likely got that idea from, some :en admins might say banned/indef blocked what's the difference, a person of standing from another wiki has said getting banned is pretty difficult unless one is doing some serious socking. I read my rules of engagement here at #UTRS appeal #73102 meaning I cannot really discuss the admin you mentioned so I'm recusing from that. You mention the Monisha Shah article. It would take a while to fully appreciate its journey from November 2021 DRV to mainspace but I choose the AfC route per DRV closer guidance. It sat at AfC for 3 months with one challenge at the start which I felt I addressed. Not an AfC comment in the three months. Unfortunately the case was given high visibility in a Signpost Newsletter which may be how Sock Polycarp to it. Polycarp insisting to place a full data of birth D/M/Y led me to point them to BLPN where rather than presenting a generic question maid sure Shah's full DOB details were splattered all over BLPN. With some detailed research Shahs full DOB was determined to be widely enough published and could be left in the article. I recall someone then raising a "PROCEDURAL VFD" (avoiding obligation to BEFORE) and I don't think anyone bothered to ask the AFC reviewer. I recall Polycarp scoffing at me for helping expose 2 sockpuppets. The conduct and allegations at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monisha Shah (2nd nomination) were in my opinion a disgrace, and allegations of subversion totally uncalled for. In the middle of this we had to go away to attend a funeral and there were difficult family circumstances. I had requested an admin for a self-block to ensure I could attend that funeral without my wikipedia rage, it was suggested I check admins who could block and I went an admin who has a clue and is not a jerk but the conditions were too hard and I was time crunched so I blanked an admin page to get the block for the benefit of my family. That actually went fairly well and the short story is I took unblock particularly to add India delsort to the AFD as I had become aware it was missing.I was dissappointed with the close but went away and editted something else. An admin welcomed me back on my talk page and I put a reply saying I was doing some gentle editing. Polycarp then began harrassing me about my relationship with Shah and that is where I lost it and used strong terms to get off my case. On the day before I was blocked Polycarp continued on the talk page of another user and that is when I decided enough was enough and took the matter to AN where bloodhounds enjoyed a BOOMERANG and Polycarp was allowed to scoff at me exposing sockpuppets and I was prevented from replying. IT completed a day where I had to pick up a relatives dirty clothes from a hospital, those clothes having been exposed to Norovirus and Covid-19. I have to be very careful about some points I'd like to make here due to OUTING and possible need to suppress information. I apologise for not draft reading this but it may explain some of the events around April 2022 a little better. Its late and I'm not draft reading this as I need to get this out of my head and to move on. Thankyou. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 23:57, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm aware some may need to see how well I have coping with some difficult conflicts. Please be aware I now use DeirgeDel as my main account. en.Wikiquote sees me in a lot of action amongst the socks and newbies. You'll find the odd thing I do there as not perfect but some fantastically good stuff as well. I do a fair bit on Wikidata and I suppose there's the "battle for P7859" ... which is not great but I'd like to think I am making a positive impact and not out of control. Thankyou. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 00:06, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

@Spicy: I appreciate your comment at Special:Diff/1159565956 and appreciate it was a ramble but I was not prepared to go through Sunday thinking of the best way of covering the background due to mental impact, and that was one way of setting a background scene. @SnowFire: has covered multiple points in their good faith lecture and has also made good faith mistakes and I am going tobring up the matter of what I am fully entitled to demand is a good faith but technically very serious erroneous allegation by SnowFire.

• SnowFire claimed I wrote the "Overwriting (computer science) or something" That "Something" was "Overwriting (prose)" and it is difficult to understand how SnowFire did not know that as they proposed and executed a merge to Sepcial:Diff/1105849887. The key point is the flase allegation "That article was created in 2019 by an editor since banned for CIR." These is great onus on using the CIR essay with care and here it was not as I was not banned but indef'd block'ed any I am very fully entitled to claim a difference. -- 11:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
• The is also the statement in the SnowFire lecture to "trust an admin." I think a lot of people here would agree there are admins (andoversighters) we generally trust and some we do not "trust" quick so much. I'll give a specific example. The was an admin who did tremendous work as CSD deletions but he got fet some inappropriate CSD's by some enthusiastic newbies and didn't manage to sift geniunine and appropriate appeals from deluge of abuse and insults. I didn't "trust" his and took him to ANI for TROUTing, maybe a couple of times. Unforturnately he ended up at Arbcom and was desysoped. I only discovered after the event and would have liked to offered more in his defence if possible. But I'd also like to say do listen to admins and other experienced editors and I do learn a lot from them. I may choose not to act on advice. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 11:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
• One key point in the the incident which mitigates in my favour is following the 2nd Shah AFD I had walked away from that and indicated I was editing elsewhere to an admin who had welcomed me back. eing dragged back into that incident by the sock demanding to know my relationships with people caused me to use "intercourse" (a somewhat out of use word for communication/connection) rather the word communication. There is a requirement to raise a COIN to determine if any COI's were involved. I should have simply said "Please Raise a coin and I'll be happy to answer there" -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 11:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

• Request: I respective request people make comments and suggests disclose any significant problematic interactions with me during if they comment at the weekend as it may influence the situation. This in particular relates to the Shat AFD/DRV and noticeboard discussions and linking or use of external sites such in particular Wikipediocracy. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 12:54, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

• My connections (or not) with UK Mediawiki for COI purposes. (Briefly) I am not a UK Wikimedia member. I had attended two or three meetings UK Wikimedia virtual meetings prior to 25 November 2021 to discovered the Shah AfD under discussion which was soon to end. I enquired about it as it had a connection to another article I had created. I left shortly afterwards for an IRRS zoom presentation/meeting from an author from TCD. I was actually "on the road" with a non-optimal output and especially because of significant hacking of the article by a non-supporter made it almost impossible to follow so I choose to place a *keep vote with weak rationale to try to evoke a re-list; I couldn't get a WP:THREE together at that point. I found Shah too difficult to progress at that point and wrote Gillian Peele instead. I attended SparQL/Wikidata event in August 2022 ? and I've been to the Portsmouth/3 meeting. I consider my to have acted "lone wolf" in the Shah matter without incentivisation from anyone else. I've also had some contact over WLM and a little with Wikimedia Ireland primarily on same matter. There was another contact on 1 April 2022 and I'll detail that if needed. I had also gained consensus for the removal of the COI tag on Wikimedia UK which someone finally removed on 30 April 2023. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 13:32, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

  I had see from recent comments that repeated CIR comments have including the false allegation have led me into an argument situation for which I apologise but their needs to be I think some VERY careful consideration of the ADMINCOND and ADMINACCT which led to this situation. The rift and hostility between the English Wikipedia and WMF also need to be reviewed. The Blocking admins and cabal disruption to an ANI I seriously took to ANI, easily remembered by their warrior at the top of the talk page, was an incitement to BATTLEGROUND.

  I'll be dead before I'm back on the English Wikipedia. And its very difficult not to block evaders they are better off trying to get unblocked before trying to get through the unblock system. I may not be perfect but the English Wikipedia Community probably needs to look at itself very closely. Just to confirm for safety reasons I am not about to go and jump of the A3(m) bridge, I'll be back trying to talk nicely to newbies on Wikiquote. Thankyou.-- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 13:58, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

The rules of engagement her made it with what I was permitted to place on my talk page, plus some matters which stray into OUTING and SUPPRESSION territory made any non-moderated discussion almost doomed from the start. But from once Shah is brought into the frame and people join the discussion with only vaguewave comments over a period without detail look into the event and with the INVOLVEMENTS not being properly declared. Unlike admins I not going to throw out the towel this way and there might be questions of the Shah AfD's closers recent currency before coming to this unblock request and what recent productive contributions they have been making to the Wikipedia? Albeit I have some sympathy to the that particular situation as was initiated by something unfortunate. But it may cause the asking of the question is there one rule for admins and one for other users on the English Wikipedia? -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 15:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Pragmatically this will likely end in a block. I'd like to thank @Ingenuity: for giving me the opportunity to present and AN and suggest no blame on this outcome should be placed on them. One fascinating fact is that was amazingly brought to his RFA was that he was the AfC reviewer heavily criticized at Shah Afd2 for bringing the Shah article to mainspace. A little less monkeying around at RFA's is perhaps called for. That is the sort of insightful question often asked at RFA's and the answer would have been interesting. A missed opportunity perhaps. I have been guilty of playing with votes and RFA's and I've pretty well scrapped the habit. I think I've done it once on Wikiquote. I did recuse on another one after the creator had harrassed me and in my opinion that lead to a delete rather than a no-consensus keep. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 15:57, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

@@Star Mississippi:: I object to you shouting ZERO responsibility. I have obviously claimed at least some some responsibility. But this is all hot air discussions. I feel like I've had the goodness kicked out of me apologising.

@@Guerillero P:In terms of accounts its important to understand the reasons for having different accounts. It is my absolute intention to cease use of Djm-leighpark and switch to using DeirgeDel as soon as possible, but that is not possible why this block exists. DeirgeBot is for Bots (albeit I've lost the password and email used). Djm-mobile is for insecure sites like the public library. I was done no favours in the creation of the talk page of an alternate account so I could make an appeal onl to simply forget to declare all my alternate accounts. I was block for well over 6 months for that and slang use preventing request of a standard offer after 6 months while is the generally accepted norm. Plus fighting my way through BARFs and security issues in the UTRS system and working with the administrators of those systems to fix them.

I can neither contribute to that discussion not attempt to improve the article. As a blocked user I am unable to contribute to that discussion.

I'm sorry I did not realise that you can't edit at the moment. The above notice has been placed automatically by Twinkle, hope you will forgive me for not editing it. That said, I still don't see how an article about a common term (moving to a smaller/larger house) could meaningfully stand there as an independent entry in an encyclopaedia, and it seems a few editors agree with me.

I'm not sure about what the late DGG saw. Just I know that one doesn't delete stubs created barely four hours earlier, as one assumes that the creator continues working to expand the article. Which hasn't really happened – you added a total of four sentences over the following fortnight, in November 2021,[1] and nothing since. So, today it's still a six-sentence stub.

If it gets deleted – which in its current form I expect it to be – you can always try WP:REFUND when you are able to edit. Cheers, — kashmīrī ^TALK 12:17, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
