Blacklisted sandbox

[edit]

My sandbox User:Growpath/sandbox is blacklisted. Could you kindly remove this blacklisting? Many thanks. Growpath (talk) 16:39, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I don't know anything about how or why it might be blacklisted (or how to remove it). olderwiser 16:51, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the fast response! But where do I go from here? (I'm relatively new to editing) Growpath (talk) 16:53, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page watcher) @Favonian who sorted out your user page back in October might be able to help?
But if your name is tangled up with some blacklisted entity, I wonder if it might be easier to change to a different username, at this relatively early point in your editing career? User:Pathgrow? Favonian might be able to advise, as they presumably understand what the blacklisting is about! PamD 18:04, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Growpath: I'm inclined to agree with PamD: changing your user name is the easiest way out of this. If I'm not mistaken, the blacklisting is due to the antics of a certain long-term nuisance who favored names somewhat similar to your preferred moniker. We don't mention that one's name – it's a Voldemort kind of thing. The (ab)user in question is, AFAIK, no longer active, but they have at least one admirer who practices the sincerest form of flattery. Giving in to the forces of imbecility is a a drag, but it's the easy way around the problem. Favonian (talk) 18:57, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for all your help and advice. I was hoping to stick with the current name as I've done quite a lot of edits. I think that the sandbox (which I've not looked at until now) was blocked at the same time as my user page, which you successfully unblocked; so I was hoping that you could just unblock the sandbox as well. But, of course, if its a problem doing that, I'll change my user name. Thanks again! Growpath (talk) 19:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Fixing one page (home page, sandbox, ...) is easy enough (for an admin), but the problem will recur every time you try to create a page with your username in it: user subpages, talk page archives, etc. A losing proposition in the long run. Favonian (talk) 19:20, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks for that explanation. I'll apply for a name change. Growpath (talk) 19:23, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Favonian Is there any way in which the list of blacklisted usernames could connect into the username registration process, so that we don't get this situation where someone can create a username for themself, edit happily for some time, and only discover the problem when they try to create a user page? PamD 20:36, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Growpath See Wikipedia:Changing username, which explains that your previous edits will still be credited to your new name, which may be reassuring. PamD 20:41, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your kindness - much appreciated! I've asked for a name change as you suggest. I really feel welcome in the Wikipedia community. Growpath (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I made an edit to ISCC yesterdat adding a description of the ISCC International Standard Content Code there with a link to the relevant ISO standard. Wikimedia itself is using ISCC codes, so I wonder why you reverted this: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CommonsDB Etma 1222 (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted my entry?

[edit]

Hi. You removed my entry on re: John Bender. This lawyer has been covered in Time, Wall Street Journal, and many other publications. Is there something I need to change or edit so that it won’t be deleted again? ~2026-43852-0 (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Each entry on a disambiguation page should have exactly one blue link that leads to an article that describes the subject. You linked to K&L Gates which contains no mention of anyone named 'Bender'. olderwiser 20:33, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I could have sworn I linked to the lawyer’s profile on the K&L Gates website. Sorry about that. I will resubmit with a correct link. ~2026-43852-0 (talk) 06:52, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page watcher) But that wouldn't be a reason to keep his link in the disambiguation page. Dab pages are a guide to information which already exists in Wikipedia articles, so if he isn't mentioned in a Wikipedia article he doesn't belong on that dab page. If and only if he is mentioned, adequately sourced, in the K&L Gates article, then he should be included in the dab page. PamD 08:57, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Re-publish article with disambiguated title

[edit]

Hi! Yesterday I edited the Bill Hill page to have the biography for an Alaskan educator/fisherman. Of course, this was a mistake on my part to put this under the ambiguous title "Bill Hill", this was my first edit. I resubmitted the content under Draft:Bill Hill (Alaskan), which hopefully is a better title for the page. I don't think I have the permissions to move this draft to the published namespace, but I was hoping you could? Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. NickCrewsAK (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@NickCrewsAK: Please read the comments I left there. More importantly, please read WP:PAID. You're violating this site's terms of use by not disclosing the reasons why you're contributing this content. The notion that the Hill campaign can buy exposure on Wikipedia disgusts me.

Plugg music

[edit]

Why did you revert the cut and paste move? You broke all the redirects. And most sources say "plugg" not "plugg music" per [[WP:COMMONNAME]] articles need to have the most common name used in sources. Also when you look at the page for moves it tells you to be bold and make the move yourself when its uncontroversial. Aradicus77 (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Cutting and pasting is NOT the same as moving. If you think the article needs to be renamed, the process is at WP:RM. olderwiser 19:40, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Be consistent.

[edit]

I noticed you reverted my edit, but the reasoning you gave is not being consistently applied throughout the page. Please either self-revert or apply the guideline consistently. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" (hihi) 17:39, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Anything in particular concern you? When reviewing changes to pages on my watchlist, I do not necessarily review anything beyond the specific edit. olderwiser 17:43, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I did a ctrl+f for "NES" on Nuno Espírito Santo and only found the string as a part of a word such as "Chinese" or a surname. Considering the entry I added was alphabetically adjacent to that one, I assumed consistency would be easy.
Regardless, when reverting an addition for a particular reason, especially a relatively obscure reason, it's likely best to review the entire page for other entries which might not be in accordance with that reason. It's not difficult to go from your watchlist to the DAB page, really. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" (hihi) 17:49, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Also, for what it's worth, the abbreviation "NES" for Nathaniel Erskine-Smith is verifiable[1][2]. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" (hihi) 18:03, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Then add it to the article. And no, I am not going to review an entire page when all I'm looking at are the specific changes. If other crap has been on a page for some time that is not immediately obvious, it's not anything I'm going to get too worked up about. And BTW, obscure is relative.

It's not a matter of whether or not I (or anyone else) 'likes' something. There are guidelines that apply to disambiguation pages that you should follow (or at least not be upset when others clean up your edits). olderwiser 13:14, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

if i put it back youre just gonna revert it. no point in arguing.Metro8102 (talk) 13:18, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that one or more entries on other dab pages don't comply with the guidelines is not a very good excuse to perpetuate the mistakes. olderwiser 13:21, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
no consistency allowed by the look of it. got it. Metro8102 (talk) 13:23, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
If you want consistency, then perhaps try editing the inconsistencies to be compliant with the guidelines rather than adding more inconsistencies. olderwiser 13:32, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
And for the record, the Perfect Cherry Blossom article does in fact mention the initialism and thus the entry on the disambiguation page is compliant with the guidelines. olderwiser 13:23, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Black Swordsman edit

[edit]

I have multiple pictures where the protagonist of 'Reaper: Tale of a Pale Swordsman' is refered to as "Black Swordsman", as proof of them having the title, which I can unfortunately not send you on your talk page, but if it's necessary you see them please tell me how I can send them to you. If that isn't relevant to adding to the disambiguation page please tell me specifically what guidlines should be followed and what needs to be done. Legitimatesuperhero (talk) 20:30, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have no need to see this. The linked article on a disambiguation needs to support the claimed usage. olderwiser 20:31, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Should I link the game's steam page? Black swordsman is in the game's description. Legitimatesuperhero (talk) 20:35, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Not from the disambiguation page. Whether it is an appropriate source for the article itself, I don't know. I think fan-created content is not generally considered a reliable source.
Also there is a difference between a generic representation of a swordsman in black vs. an entity named or consistently referred to as the Black Swordsman. olderwiser 20:46, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I have made a change to the Reaper: page itself with the game's description and citation, I think the term disambiguates to them within the rules now. Fan created content was not considered at all when making these edits, that should be kept elsewhere.
The protagonist is consistently called "Black Swordsman", I have examples of it. Legitimatesuperhero (talk) 20:49, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Rok, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Wikisam240 (talk) 17:25, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikisam240 Please note that new posts go at the bottom of a talk page, not the top: posts at the top are likely not to be seen, so I have moved this one.
It is not helpful, and rather rude, to use this templated message on the talk page of a very experienced editor of disambiguation pages in our encyclopedia. Note also that they have never edited the page you mention, the redirect ROK (disambiguation).
Your latest edits to Rok showed an unfamiliarity with our policies and guidelines: you piped entries on the dab page, and you added a second blue link to a page. I have reverted those changes, while leaving your change to the opening of the dab page. On that point, I think I agree with you rather than Bkonrad: where there is a primary topic for one or more of the terms being disambiguated on a dab page, it is probably helpful to include the bolded link in the opening line as you did.
But please do not Edit War. If you disagree with another editor's edits, discuss it with them calmly on their talk page or the talk page of the article involved. PamD 16:58, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The term "panther" refers to different types of cats depending on where it's used. It's sort of like the difference between British English and American English.

Castlevania's Saint Germain

[edit]

I didn't realize we needed citations on a disambiguation page, but he's in one of the games (Curse of Darkness) and two seasons of the TV series (totaling 14 episodes). Should I have structured the entry differently? CaptHayfever (talk) 15:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, a citation is generally not required in disambiguation pages as they're not articles, says this page. I think what you should've done was instead of linking on simply Castlevania, which was too broad, linking to Castlevania: Curse of Darkness would've been a better idea. I think that simple link change might've kept that mention there. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 15:56, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Citations have no place on a disambiguation page. What is needed is a link to an existing Wiki article that supports the claimed usage.

Mill Creek, Virginia moved to Draft

[edit]

I find it interesting how you moved the Mill Creek, Virginia article to a draft based on the GNIS being the sole source, yet an article called Pinero, Virginia (Pinero and countless other articles of unincorporated communities with just the GNIS as a reference alone have not been moved to drafts. Can you please explain why? SAYITWITHYOURCHEST (talk) 19:26, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it has been established that Mill Creek is indeed an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, which can be corroborated on a map, and it didn’t show up as being in a bay, like you mentioned, it showed up as being on land and there were numerous houses and buildings around the area labeled as Mill Creek.

I see, well then I will move the Pinero article to drafts according to the criteria that GNIS alone cannot be the sole reference SAYITWITHYOURCHEST (talk) 00:12, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride

[edit]

Hello! You seem to have reverted many of my edits regarding the capitalization of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, insisting no letters are uppercase. However, this contradicts your argument and accordingly states the correct spelling is the one I chose. Your edits will now be reverted to follow the style guidelines for chemical substances. ~2026-33494-90 (talk) 17:59, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Although I will not change your double redirect removal, as further research leads me to believe these are unwanted. ~2026-33494-90 (talk) 18:03, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't understand Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Style guidelines#Prefixes, but the article that 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride links to spells it with lower case in the lead sentence, which is what I was going by. olderwiser 18:16, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply, and you’ll see what I meant if you scroll slightly farther down to the part labeled Capitalization. Although I couldn’t link it directly, for whatever reason. ~2026-33494-90 (talk) 19:52, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Nirvana page

[edit]

Hi, I'm wondering why you keep reverting the page of Nirvana (disambiguation). The addition to the page is legit and it's a real song, why do you keep reverting it? If it's because I ain't connected write it in the reason of the delete. At least give a reason for the revert of the wiki. ~2026-32061-11 (talk) 18:33, 10 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is no Wikipedia article that I can see for the song. External links are not permitted on disambiguation pages. olderwiser 18:49, 10 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I know that "Mew" page can't be sarcastic

[edit]

i moved the "mewing" to "memes". However, I still published it and didn't think a word. I still have no account, I have been here since early 2026.
