hi re my adjustment Neal Murry i didnt provide source as the article contradicts itself ie places Neals birth as ...... Victoria Australia while claiming their origin as Pupunya in Northern Territority Australia obviously one can't be from two places? Neal does not make any claim to be indigenous Australian so references to his aboriginality are also inaccurate.

I would be interested to know what references are provided to substantiate Meals origins and aboriginality?

Thanks

User talk:Constructive versus factual[edit]

Hello. You reversed one of my recent contributions to Greta Van Fleet because, according to you, my contribution was not constructive. Since when Wikipedia gives priority to being constructive versus factual? Would you perhaps not call Hittler a dictatorship in the Wikipedia entry because is not constructive? It is largerly acknowledged that Greta van Fleet is a band that has copied the style of Led Zeppelin, even them have acknowledged. What a pity that editors like you are so empowered in Wikipedia that you all have hijacked the whole Encyclopedia and basically shape it to whatever you editors/admins want things to look like. What a shame. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.255.217.66 (talk) 22:49, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Bureaucrat changes

removed AndrevanEVula

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC about the deletion of drafts closed with a consensus to change the wording of WP:NMFD. Specifically, a draft that has been repeatedly resubmitted and declined at AfC without any substantial improvement may be deleted at MfD if consensus determines that it is unlikely to ever meet the requirements for mainspace and it otherwise meets one of the reasons for deletion outlined in the deletion policy.
  • A request for comment closed with a consensus that the {{promising draft}} template cannot be used to indefinitely prevent a WP:G13 speedy deletion nomination.

Technical news

  • Starting on July 9, the WMF Security team, Trust & Safety, and the broader technical community will be seeking input on an upcoming change that will restrict editing of site-wide JavaScript and CSS to a new technical administrators user group. Bureaucrats and stewards will be able to grant this right per a community-defined process. The intention is to reduce the number of accounts who can edit frontend code to those who actually need to, which in turn lessens the risk of malicious code being added that compromises the security and privacy of everyone who accesses Wikipedia. For more information, please review the FAQ.
  • Syntax highlighting has been graduated from a Beta feature on the English Wikipedia. To enable this feature, click the highlighter icon (Codemirror-icon.png) in your editing toolbar (or under the hamburger menu in the 2017 wikitext editor). This feature can help prevent you from making mistakes when editing complex templates.
  • IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in July (previously scheduled for June). This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.

Miscellaneous

  • Currently around 20% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 17% a year ago. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless if you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

Administrator changes

added Sro23
readded KaisaLYmblanter

Guideline and policy news

  • After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
  • Following a request for comment, the WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

Subject: Block on User:Mareike at Röchling[edit]

Dear Longhair, I have some trouble with my account User:Mareike at Röchling. I will tell you the whole story: At first I used my account User:Röchling-Gruppe, which was originally from the German Wikipedia. I didn't know the account’s name was against the English username policy. I'm sorry for my mistake. (But I am convinced that my changes in Röchling Group were not spammy. Could you please have a second view on the text? No other editor complained about my changes.) After this trouble I created the new, verified account User:Mareike at Röchling to follow all Wikipedia guidelines from now on. But when I tried my first changes on an article this account was temporarily blocked too, because of using the same IP-address. How can I get out of this? It would be very kind if you could help me. Best regards, Mareike at Röchling (talk) 07:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes

added AmorymeltzerMr. StradivariusMusikAnimalMSGJTheDJXaosflux

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.

Technical news

  • Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour.
  • Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title.
  • Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age.

Arbitration

  • The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of Checkuser and Oversight appointments. The usernames of all applicants will be shared with the Functionaries team, and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

Mistake about removed links[edit]

Hello Longhair,

I am contacting you regarding your notes about the external links recently added to the page of Oliver Griffin which you have apparently deemed inappropriate and removed. I fail to see how providing further information about the artist's published work and referring to his publisher official website is inappropriate. Could you explain, please?

Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IsabelMarkus (talkcontribs) 12:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

@IsabelMarkus:, take for example the link you were adding, loosejoints.biz. It's an online gallery, offering art for sale by many artists. It's spam. -- Longhair\talk 12:32, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: The links referred to the relevant published projects on the official website of the publishing house Loose Joints which is the artist's publisher - not an online gallery. This is certainly not a spam. Could you please rectify this mistake? -- IsabelMarkus\talk 12:53, 4 November 2018 (GMT)
You linked to the main page of Loose Joints, not any particular works from this artist. I see many artists works offered at the main page and only a handful of Oliver's works in the catalog. My opinion stands. It's a commercial site, ie, spam. -- Longhair\talk 12:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: I understand this might be a problem for the external links section but why was the entire list of published work removed when these were only linked to the relevant web pages?-- IsabelMarkus\talk 13:08, 4 November 2018 (GMT)

Removed link to http://empichon72.free.fr/revues/byte/sommaires_byte.php on byte magazine page[edit]

Hello Longhair, The link you removed has the same purpose as "HomeLib On-line index for early issues of Byte" (second external link in byte magazine page) but on articles level. It contains an index of all articles published in Byte Magazine and available in "archive.org" (first external link in byte magazine page). It offers direct links to over 12,000 Byte magazine articles. It is complementary to other external links in byte magazine page. I've read guidelines about links (neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding, non commercial, english language, ...) and I think that the link you removed is appropriate for wikipedia.

Sock puppet blocks[edit]

Hi Longhair! I hope life has been treating you well! I noticed that you've made a good number of blocks on some accounts under sock puppetry today (for example: MYLIFEIS122333444455555666666). Are they all controlled by the same sock master or same user? What makes them similar that you know right away that they're sock puppet accounts? Is there an SPI report open? I'm just curious about it and would like to take a further look - just let me know when you can. Thanks, and good hunting! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:24, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@Oshwah:. Many vandals have a pattern or signature as you already know. The ones I am marking as a sock are those I recognise so I can refer back later when asked to compile a list etc. I'm blocking far too many in a hurry of late so it's my way of grouping similar attacks under the same banner so to say. A common one is the one using numbers in his username as you've used as an example above. -- Longhair\talk 01:29, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Heh, fine by me. Just curious to see who the master is. Let me know when you file the SPI for these cases; I'd like to take a look at them. Cheers ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:34, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Rajdeepdutta516[edit]

I agree with your block on this user for sure, but I'd consider if blocking the user indefinitely is the right solution compared to a 31 hour block. It's clear based off the user's edits, deleted contribs, and the username to match them that he's clearly here to promote himself - and it's highly likely that this is the user's main and only purpose. It's your call of course, but I figured I'd message you, weigh in, and give my two cents. Cheers ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:43, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

They think they deserve a page about themselves despite Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, they don't care to follow the rules nor read about Wikipedia's fundamentals and principles and respect them, and those who get in the way of their main (usually only) objective to write about themselves are obviously wrong and are just after them to give them a hard time - hence they blame the blocking admin (in this case, you). There are people out there who just don't want to be helped and would rather do things the hard way (or sometimes the uncivil or unpleasant way)... we can only help them as much as they want to be helped. *Shrug* ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:10, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@Praveen1358:, you added a link to a collection of free stock photos. That collection is one of many and if everybody with a stock photo collection added their link the article would be overloaded with links.

Didn't think it was such a deal to promote the restoration of an Australian icon which because of its scrapping galvanized the Victorian public in creating the museum at Williamstown. You allow this page which is the same wording. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_class_T1 (T1 trust fund is not different to what I put up)

@S300-S303: Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopedia, not to raise funds. Please see What Wikipedia is not. There are plenty of other online venues suitable for this purpose thanks. in regards to allowing other pages, perhaps they're outside the rules also, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. -- Longhair\talk 09:49, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Did you visit the link page I sent you to see you already allow promotional items? — Preceding unsigned comment added by S300-S303 (talkcontribs) 09:54, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@S300-S303: No. I do not allow anything outside the rules, and with several million pages online here, there's quite a lot outside the rules that administrators have yet to deal with. Again, this issue has nothing whatsoever to do with any other page. This is simply not the venue for your fundraising efforts, as genuine and well intentioned as they may be. -- Longhair\talk 09:58, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
@S300-S303: I just took a quick glance at the page you've linked. A quick glance. I see no fundraising effort similar to your own. What caught my eye with your edits was the inclusion of your bank account details, something that should never be posted here. That other article is doing no such thing from what I can see. -- Longhair\talk 10:04, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Edit to Hong Kong name[edit]

Hi Longhair, I'm new to editing on Wikipedia so apologies if I made a mistake.

The reliable source I referenced (hksarblog.blogspot.com) is used by the existing reference (Joyce Man), who took her ideas for the article from Hksarblog.blogspot.com. This blog has existed since 2009 and has thousands of Hong Kong names that are categorised as described by the existing reference, which does not acknowledge the true source. In Joyce Man's article, she interviewed Hksarblog for the article's main ideas, so I think this needs to be made clear.

A blog is not a reliable source. It's that simple. -- Longhair\talk 09:59, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

RE: Recent edit of T. Muthuswamy Iyer page[edit]

I could see that the references do not exist and moreover, it looks like it is a part of a personal blog, rather than a reliable source of information, like newspaper. I've reverted your change.

Please check the reference before making any changes over the existing.

Please read the comments of a change, before marking a change as vandalism.

@204.194.143.29: It looks like a blog, because it is a blog, and therefore not a reliable source. -- Longhair\talk 10:16, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

S class[edit]

Happy not to leave bank details etc as I'm new to all this. But right at the bottom of the T1 article, they have a link off item 16 (reference on the wiki page) which takes it to their fund raising page.

How Could I do the same but stay within your rules?

Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by S300-S303 (talkcontribs) 10:14, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@S300-S303: That reference is a site from the The Pennsylvania Railroad T1 Steam Locomotive Trust. The fundraising effort is on their site, which also contains a lot of useful information to assist with providing a source of information for the article itself. That's far different from a very open request for funds on a Wikipedia page. Regardless of whether the bank account details are included or not, it's simply not permitted here at Wikipedia. I don't make the rules, but that's how they apply and why we're discussing this here. As much as I think your efforts are worthy, Wikipedia cannot help you achieve this. -- Longhair\talk 10:21, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Help, please[edit]

Magneticforces911 (talk) 12:14, 7 November 2018 (UTC)Hi Longhair, would welcome your help as to how i can get my update published - i've provided a link to a magazine, which i agree does mention several organisations such as the CCGs, the CSU, the NHS and the magazine. Should i rewrite the update so that it mentions more about Norfolk and Waveney? Any help much appreciated Magneticforces911

@Magneticforces911: Address the issues left on your talk page please before attempting to cloud the waters with further communication here. I strongly suspect you are abusing multiple accounts, with this account having arrived just after I blocked the original account attempting to post the same promotional information. I have no interest in your references or alternative ideas on posting until you explain why two accounts are now battling over the same article attempting to post the same information, one account being blocked. Failing an explanation, a sockpuppet investigation will be the next step I take to assist you further to determine if you are in fact evading a block. -- Longhair\talk 12:21, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@Barikdr: Wikipedia actually doesn't want you to write an article about yourself. See the information at WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY, which says in a nutshell "avoid writing or editing an article about yourself (or paying someone else to do so)...". This website is an encyclopedia, not an outlet for free web hosting. If you're actually notable, somebody else may perhaps write an article at Wikipedia about you.

Warning on edit warring on Adrian David Cheok page[edit]

Hiya :)

I've received a message saying that I "appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Adrian David Cheok."

This isn't the case. I've reverted one edit that restored a deleted section.

I understand Wikipedia has a 3 revert rule which seems entirely sensible. However warning a user for edit warring on the basis of one revert seems premature.

What's the best next step here? I won't revert edits on that page going forward but it'd be a shame to let the repeated vandalism continue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyratory (talkcontribs) 08:47, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

@Gyratory:It's not a warning as such, and the template wording could possibly be blamed if you felt that way. You both appear to be back and forth relating to the controversy section of this article, and I wanted to let you both know about the stance on edit warring before you both potentially escalated. I'm not taking sides here, and I can see the section is referenced and could do with a cleanup of sorts. That's all I wanted to say... just be aware of the boundaries when it comes to online tug-o-war which this could easily become. Use the talk page to reach a consensus, that's the way. -- Longhair\talk 08:51, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: Thanks for that. The section has been deleted again. I've not reverted and asked for the deletion to be discussed on the articles Talk Page. What's the correct way to alert the user to that request? I'm not allowed to edit the users page. I tagged them in the talk page edit but wasn't certain if they would get a notification to discuss this. -- Gyratory (talk)
Gyratory, I sure hope that isn't you, continuing an edit war via an IP address? Anyway, "messy but sourced" is one thing, but restoring it in a BLP is quite another. You can't just restore it without making it less messy--and here "messy" means "BLP violation", in my opinion. And I'll add that the other editor, Joyeefam, is likewise problematic, but that's no reason for you go continue this. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:11, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
DrmiesNo it's not me, I've reverted once. If you review the edit history you'll see that the controversies section has grow organically over time from multiple authors while being repeatedly deleted because STALINSIM. After longhair's interception I've tried to get this discussed on the talk page but have been ignored while being accused of editing warring (I reverted it once) and vandalism under an anonymous IP. Terrific! I'll attempt a rewrite. Gyratory (talk) 04:50, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you![edit]

Thank you sir for blocking 139.192.241.16 because of the vandalism that caused that me to report it to the report page of Wikipedia. I appreciated your actions of blocking 139.192.241.

@VictorTorres2002: With my quick look I did notice a bit of silliness over at the Panasonic article. I'm no expert on the topic but with that ip gone perhaps that's a chance to go over the article for a cleanup. Let me know should any others arrive behaving the same thanks. I'll keep the article on my watchlist to keep an eye on things from afar. -- Longhair\talk 11:42, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

@Longhair Thank you! I've appriciate it. If that ip continued doing the same thing. I hope you could extend it up to a year or more. Things on the pages that 139.192.241.16 vandalized are being cleaned up and removed for good. He/She always puts Adventure Time-related stuff on those pages. That user actually came from Indonesia as according to an link to the Indonesian page of Panasonic. Luckily everything is back to normal.

Vandalism pattern[edit]

   It is widely believed that the anemometer was faulty for the race in which Florence Griffith Joyner set the official world record for the women's 100 m of 10.49 s.[1] A 1995 report commissioned by the IAAF estimated the true wind speed was between +5.0 m/s and +7.0 m/s, rather than the 0.0 recorded.[1] If this time, recorded in the quarter-final of the 1988 U.S. Olympic trials, were excluded, the world record would be 10.61 s, recorded the next day at the same venue by the same athlete in the final.[1][2]

pyrope[edit]

yeh? well pyrope is not a very civil person. how is acting snotty towards others being civil? even if beyond my ken, seraphimblade and speedy question mark are genuine troublemakers and he considers them persona non grata, that still doesn't necessarily mean he can tell them "please expect no respect from me in future" and things like that. fighting fire with fire is not always the answer, and he does not seem to realise that. so i'm trying to make it crystal clear to him that he has other, more civil options in these situations. that he chooses to swat me away is an act of cowardice imho. 80.233.41.93 (talk) 12:28, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

lol, only noticed your message at the top after i'd posted. apologies. 80.233.41.93 (talk) 12:32, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
@80.233.41.93: You can't excuse your own behaviour by pointing to the behaviour of others. You know why I warned you and if you cannot be civil editing alongside other editors then perhaps choose another article to edit until the mood cools down all round. I'd rather not get involved, but I did see your inflammatory revert and edit summary which led to my mention at your talk page. It'll only escalate if you keep reverting what they've already seen and removed. -- Longhair\talk 12:33, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: well if i should be punished for my behaviour then pyrope certainly should be punished for his. i may call him a coward but he has called people blowhards. that's even more insulting imho. 80.233.41.93 (talk) 12:56, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
@80.233.41.93: Correct, but you're the one I caught doing so, and a quick look over their contributions show they haven't even communicated to your talk page, unless you were logged in at the time and aren't now... besides, a block is not about punishment, its about stopping what you were doing when you cannot stop yourself, that being undoing their revert of your remarks at their talk page. If it's cooled down now, let it go. There's nothing to gain analyzing it here until the cows come home. -- Longhair\talk 13:03, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: why "they" and "their" may i ask? pyrope is quite clearly a man. i don't see anything feminine in the way he goes about wikipedia - even when he is being civil. which admittedly is the majority of the time, but sadly not all of the time. 80.233.41.93 (talk) 13:14, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mimihitam: I am looking over their contributions. Please do not disrupt noticeboards in order to bring a block onto others. Administrators know what to look for and can usually tell there's something untoward going on before too long. To be honest, I don't see any deleted contributions from this editor as you say ("creating pages with false information"). Can you send me diffs to help identify the issues you raise please? -- Longhair\talk 09:20, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I will just show you whis this is an LTA. The code that the admins were using here is "Manda 1993"

And many more. What he usually does is copy pasting existing pages from the Indonesian Wikipedia (please delete this), reverting edits haphazardly, sending nonsensical messages, and eventually putting fake information like this. Please take action, thank you very much. Mimihitam (talk) 09:28, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

This issue is a more complex issue than just blocking an editor. If what you say is correct that requires further investigation and evidence to link the multiple accounts used to the one editor. Are you willing to compile all the evidence that may be required? -- Longhair\talk 09:32, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
I'm beginning to see some issues here. I'll see what I can do for now. Again, this sounds like a long term case of vandalism covering many accounts. -- Longhair\talk 09:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
@Mimihitam: I have blocked this editor for 48 hours (for now) for disruptive editing. I've seen enough to now understand more about the editing behaviours you raise. I'll keep an eye out for this editor once their block expires. As for your comment above where you ask for some text to be deleted here, you're welcome to remove whatever you like from this conversation. Again, this seems to be a long term vandal issue which will require a lot more evidence to effectively shut this one down should they continue. -- Longhair\talk 09:44, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for blocking him. I really appreciate it. I apologize if I was a bit "overzealous" before, because this Manda 1993 is really getting on my nerves. But I can say with utter certainty that he will be back sooner or later, either here or in another wiki. Basically, this Manda 1993 has been an active cross-wiki vandal for years. I've lost count of how many times I've blocked him in the Indonesian Wikipedia. I think it will only stop if someone actually comes to Langsa in Aceh and asks him to desist from such useless endeavour. Kind regards. Mimihitam (talk) 09:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mimihitam: And you're certain those other accounts are behaving in the same disruptive manner? I simply don't have the time right now to look at the overall wider problem, but I am listening to what I can help with today. -- Longhair\talk 10:19, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm 100% positive, because the modus operandi is always the same. Reverting edits by admins/other users, adding the word "Manda" in random articles, copy pasting content from other Wiki without translation/using google translate, adding fake information about Indonesian TV channel, and the most obvious ones are sending jumbled messages like what he did to you above and writing nonsensical edit summary ("Oshop, Indosiar, O Channel, SCTV Sejek 20 November 2018", "Liga INTV, O Channel dan tvOne Sejek 29 November 2018", "Baru +, OrangeTV Halaman television, Group Paly").

2001:56A:7045:7F00:7571:BA1D:7915:8962 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), which belongs to the same /64-net as the blocked IP (Special:Contributions/2001:56A:7045:7F00::/64), i.e. what a single user gets (it's a static broadband connection in Calgary, Alberta, Canada), was tagteaming with the blocked IP (see contributions of the /64), with the two using two different devices connected to the same net-sharing device, so I suggest range-blocking the /64-net, or both of the devices will soon be back again since they have umpteen v6-IPs to chose from. Cheers, - Tom | Thomas.W talk 09:42, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Thomas.W: I've only blocked 2 ip address in this /64 range tonight. I don't see the need for an entire range block just yet but I see what you're saying. If the problems widens we can look at blocking the /64 range should the need arise. I've blocked this ip just now . -- Longhair\talk 09:56, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk about ruining something with their liberal activism.[edit]

Dude, Previous version is no different from my version. They are making their own baseless statements. Please tell me you are not aware of what's going on. I don't care what the fuck you guys doing. Remember people get fed up with your biased articles day by day. Don't cry when this place turns into another Reddit in next 5 years.

@Anon ind123: Then discuss the article improvements at the article talk page like you've been asked to do multiple times now rather than edit war over the issue. The article isn't mine either, I've not added a single word to said article. I'm merely there to halt the ongoing edit war that you're contributing to by not discussing the content problem where it belongs. -- Longhair\talk 10:17, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
@Anon ind123: The reason I appear to be against you is that you're removing content that is reliably sourced. Wikipedia doesn't rely upon the truth, it relies upon verifiability. I'm guessing that's your misunderstanding here today. -- Longhair\talk 10:25, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

That criticism is not verified. Lol. This is redux of -- why launch satellite when no one has toilet/where is my fund money -- You guys openly provoking Indians by shitting on their statue. You could have hid that section until valid criticism is made. But no, some political activists made some criticism and we have to echo their crap on our website. Anyway, I am done. I tried to warn you. I have done my part. Do pamper those political activists at the cost of this great platform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon ind123 (talkcontribs) 10:39, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Anon ind123: Verified, meaning it's been published by what Wikipedia deems to be a reliable source, for example, The Times of India and the Indian Express. Hey, I'm fully aware mainstream media can offload just as much bullshit as the next vandal to walk through the door here, but that's the rules at Wikipedia, and those mainstream sources are who is relied upon around here. -- Longhair\talk 10:45, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

You can use same rules to dismiss the criticism until something tangible is made. I mean, it's not like ToI made special investigation into the statue making. They are publishing what some political activists said. We already tanked in credibility aspect. Let's ruin it further. Remove the section. It won't be great loss to the article. I will take back my edit too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon ind123 (talkcontribs) 10:52, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Anon ind123: I'm not touching the article. And you won't be removing the content until you've reached a consensus to do so at the talk page. I see your point, but some may feel the overall story of the subject warrants inclusion of said activism. You'll only find out who wants what by asking those involved. I'm merely there to keep the article stable in whatever version interested parties agree upon. It's almost as if folks have a talk page allergy at times around here... collaborate, and see what happens :D -- Longhair\talk 10:56, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Rudeness[edit]

It is infantile to leave messages accusing people of not leaving edit summaries when they have done so. Why behave in that way? 146.198.193.18 (talk) 12:43, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@146.198.193.18:

  • 1. The text is a boilerplate template...
  • 2. It does not mention a single word about "edit summaries"...
  • 3. It does mention editing "without adequate explanation"
  • 4. We assume good faith in others here rather than open with an attack of possible motives.
  • 5. You're edit warring and heading for a block... -- Longhair\talk 12:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind help. As I said, you can find the log in the following page: User:Mimihitam/Vandal Langsa Log. I will try to compile as much as possible. Mimihitam (talk) 16:11, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mimihitam: Seems you've already been down the sockpuppet investigation path, and many admins are already aware of this vandal. They're quite active, every month it seems, and with no shortage of throwaway accounts. They've been the subject of investigations pretty much from 2017 right through until now. -- Longhair\talk 16:17, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

It's not just every month. Sometimes it's every day. He hounded the English wikipedia yesterday, tomorrow he might appear in the Indonesian wikipedia and I will suddenly get 15 notifications of edits being reverted, and then the day after he might move to the Sundanese wikipedia and start redirecting my user page. This vandal is really exasperating. Mimihitam (talk) 16:23, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mimihitam: They are very predictable though from what I can tell. You had no problem spotting their return just now and it took me all of a few seconds to determine it was the same editor. They haven't been stopped in 2 years so expect a long haul identifying and blocking this one on sight. -- Longhair\talk 16:27, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes, his modus operandi is always the same, and sometimes he would give himself away by directly reverting my edit (that's how I found that "Vrsanelamat"). I think he moved here because he knows that in the Indonesian wikipedia, he would be instantly blocked and all his edits would be reverted within seconds. The problem is when he is attacking smaller wikis like the Sundanese wikipedia, where the admins are very rarely present. Anyway, the next time I see him hounding the English wikipedia, I will report him to you immediately. Thank you for your help. Mimihitam (talk) 16:32, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mimihitam: While I'm quite active at the moment, sometimes I disappear too. Cases like this need admin eyes on the overall problem... give me a day or two and I'll help start the ball rolling again. Clearly this twit has all the time in the world to waste ours, but it's something you'll need to do or else they'll hide behind endless accounts and terrorise you for life as they do. -- Longhair\talk 16:35, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

That would be great. Thank you for your help! Mimihitam (talk) 16:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

List of defunct airlines of Algeria[edit]

Hello, I'm Alvorado The List of defunct airlines of Algeria was created by me in a different format, where only extinguished companies were included. It has been changed without my permission by the user Onel5969. Alvorado (talk) 18:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

@Alvorado: The page history shows you blanked the page so another editor took it upon themselves to redirect it to List of airlines of Algeria. What's with the page blanking? Accidental, or another reason? -- Longhair\talk 18:55, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
@Alvorado: I've taken a closer look. More than one editor is opposing your intentions with this article and is inviting you to discuss your changes at the talk page. There's no communication on that talk page so I suggest you raise the issue there. In short, they're referring you to read WP:SPLIT. Meanwhile, edit warring to restore your preferred version won't see you win in the end, but it may see you blocked if you persist rather than have a chat about the situation with the others you're tangling with. -- Longhair\talk 19:01, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Re Concordeia and 116.68.75.185[edit]

While I was just about to leave a message for Concordeia that they should have left the IP address a warning, as well as block the IP address, the IP's edits includes pretty clear vandalism such as saying that a professional race car driver has the rather unique style of going too slow and then crashing.

If there's something I'm missing about Concordeia, I'd like to know. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:19, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ian.thomson: It was pretty clear edit warring from both sides going on without any contact with each other. On closer inspection I can see BLP concerns added to the article and also just noticed this is their first day of editing. Are you requesting I give them a fair go and unblock since it's clear they were attempting to protect the article from vandalism? -- Longhair\talk 05:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Well, I'd've just blocked the last IP used and left Concordeia with both a welcome and an explanation of how things work (3rr, leaving warnings, RFPP) that they might assume is stern. I do think Concordeia was operating in good faith and had not had sufficient explanation for how things work, even if they were going about things the wrong way. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:27, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@Ian.thomson: I've unblocked them since they've just arrived and were acting to protect against vandalism. It'd be great if you could remind them to communicate with others because that helps a lot when it comes time to determine who's behaving and who's not. Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 05:28, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I meant to say that I'd be willing to carry out the unblock if you'd prefer as well as leave such a message but got an edit conflict. I think I've covered what's needed but it is almost 1 AM where I am. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:41, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Getting deleted data from my userpage[edit]

Greetings. You recently deleted my userpage after I blanked it because I was using it as a store for personal data.

Clerical Fascism edit war[edit]

Dear Longhair, thank you for intervening. I never wanted to become involved in an edit war. I have discussed the issue on the talk page of Clerical Fascism but was ignored. GenoV84 also removed my polite comments trying to discuss this matter on his talk page and accused me off vandalism. You will see that he has a history of accusing his opponents of vandalism. I tried to reach a compromise and added additional sources to the article. GenoV84 has openly admitted to being anti-Catholic however and intentionally wishes to create a misleading impression. Wikipedia has long acknowledged that Pope Pius XI objected to 1938 Italian racial laws. These laws did not target Protestants and Mussolini refused to aid in the Holocaust. This is stated in numerous other articles but GenoV84 claims that Mussolini aided in the Holocaust and wants to make it appear that Jews and Protestants died in concentration camps due to Clerical Fascists when they died together with Catholics at the hands of the Nazis after the German occupation of Northern Italy. I sourced my claims. GenoV84 doesn`t seem to have a response to them. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 12:45, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@62.45.158.228: I don't care about the article content. I stepped in because you're clearly edit warring. One thing I do notice is that GenoV84 only began reverting your edits, so there's hardly a claim that he's accusing others of vandalism,which may be happening elsewhere but isn't occurring on that article where the problem lies. There's a lot to look over but for now I suggest hitting the talk page and remaining there until you're both satisfied about content. -- Longhair\talk 12:52, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@62.45.158.228: You ask for help then resume edit warring. I've blocked you for 24 hours. -- Longhair\talk 12:54, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

I apologize for continuing the edit war. I didn`t mean to but there is no excuse. Sorry for not waiting on your resolution. I have tried to address the edits on the talk page of Clerical Fascism but got ignored I posted comments on GemoV84`s talk page but he simply deleted them and called my comments vandalism. I originally removed additions he made because they were poorly sourced and misleading and badly written. Eventually I tried to compromise and leave his additions but add better context with additional sources. He removed that, called it vandalism and kept threatening me that I was committing vandalism. The article as it is now has to be rewritten and give better context. But apparently adding context and info is vandalism. I hope to either clarify the section on the Race Manifesto and the Holocaust by adding additional sources, or want to delete the poorly sourced and inaccurate parts. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 14:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@62.45.158.228: Understood. Just understand that if you both continue to disrupt the article it'll need to be protected, forcing you both to the talk page to compromise on content. I see what went on and you both earned a block to avoid the article from being disrupted any further. -- Longhair\talk 14:28, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

I understand. I had already attempted to address the issue on the talk page twice. I have posted further proposals there. I also went to GenoV84`s own talk page. As the article it is now it still reflects his views. I originally removed his misleading edits, but since he considered it vandalism I tried to add context and sources instead. The article is currently I poor shape. The status quo favors his misleading additions and contradicts most of the other articles on wikipedia. I hope to reach consensus on this issue soon. If you want you can unblock him so we can discuss matters further. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 15:01, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@62.45.158.228: The state of the article at present doesn't mean I endorse the current content. It's just the state the article was left in. The other party received a block of a longer duration than yourself because it wasn't their first time blocked for edit warring. If you want the content of the article changed as it now stands take the proposed changes to the talk page to see what other editors think. I don't often undo blocks without a good reason and the blocked editor hasn't requested an unblock which would be unlikely to be overturned anyway by another admin. There's no rush, and again if the current content at the article is problematic, aim for a consensus to change it by discussing the changes via the talk page provided. -- Longhair\talk 15:06, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Currently I am the only one posting on the talk page. No other editors seem to care. Only GenoV84 cared because I deleted his poorly sourced and inaccurate additions. I tried to discuss it with him many times but he just kept calling me a troll and accusing me off vandalism. Aside from him it doesn`t seem as though there is anyone else I can discuss it with. He still doesn`t seem to have responded on his talk page either. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 15:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@62.45.158.228: I think you both have demonstrated you're not likely to agree. Perhaps the next step is to engage the dispute resolution options available and ask for a request for comment from outsiders perhaps. The subject is not an area of my expertise so I won't be able to assist beyond keeping the article free from disruption. -- Longhair\talk 15:24, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

I am not sure whether I want to take such a difficult option yet. I could try a third attempt at an edit that respects his additions but adds context and sources and makes it appear more objective. I could explain it on the talk page as well. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 15:27, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@62.45.158.228: And if your additions are reverted, we're back to an edit war again... their block will expire in a day or so... -- Longhair\talk 15:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Then I will try to make a workeable edit and if he reverts it I will just discuss it instead of reverting his revert. He is free to discuss it on the talk page once his block expires. You are free to check the edits yourself if you like or to invite others to do so. I am currently working on a whole new edit that doesn`t remove a single source or any of his additions really, while streamlining the article. I hope that that`s ok. If not I can try to revert it soon myself but I hope to get feedback from others first. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 15:41, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

 :@GenoV84: What I see is his first attempt at communication at your talk page was reverted, calling his message "bullshit", and suggesting he read a history book sometime. Hardly a step towards solving anything if that's the opening response don't you think? You're both like chalk and cheese and it's clear you'll never resolve this in the article without a decent chat over the differences. I can see the article being protected if this resumes tomorrow once their block expires. Whether or not their message was bullshit, the conversation pretty much began and ended right about there. -- Longhair\talk 13:02, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@GenoV84: I've had a closer look. This editor made numerous attempts to discuss their edits with you, and you reverted every time calling them a troll. Not once did you engage in discussion to resolve the conflict but resorted to namecalling... am I right? -- Longhair\talk 13:12, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@GenoV84: I've blocked you both. If this resumes, page protection is the next step. -- Longhair\talk 13:15, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

I would love to peacefully resolve this conflict through discussion, you are free to post on my talk page or the talk page of the article. We can also discuss it on your talk page if you wish. I hope they might remove your block early then we can have a dialogue sooner. I am sure you didn`t mean for it to get out of hand. I apologize for everything I have done to help perpetuate this conflict. 62.45.158.228 (talk) 14:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

I need to WP:VANISH this user. I'd like to redact his name and then revdel the revisions pertaining thereto. Cheers, -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:57, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@Dlohcierekim: I don't see how their decision to 'vanish' requires my involvement. I guess because you need to remove their identity from the pages of mine he edited? If that's the decision made then I see no problem with that if that's what's been decided as a requirement of the outcome of their appeal to you or whoever acted upon such appeal. Upon reading the 'vanish' page here, I see the words that this feature applies to "...users in good standing...", but I guess this facility extends to whoever it is deemed necessary? If I sound a little terse on this topic, it's because never in the 13 years or so as an editor and administrator of Wikipedia have I ever dealt with somebody in the public spotlight so willing to be an arse here under their own identity, to then go running for assistance when they finally cool down and realise what they've done that could potentially cause themselves harm back in the real world. That said, I'm sorry you had to become involved in this situation. I acted according to Wikipedia guidelines and will simply put this incident behind me and move on. I trust this editor will do the same, elsewhere. Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 18:51, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Indeed. I only read part. He wants his name removed from our stinky old good for nuthin web site. happy to oblige, and it's the exception to the "good standing requirement".-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:09, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
@Dlohcierekim: Do your thing. We did our thing and not everyone will understand or enjoy it. Keep up the good work. This chapter is now closed my end :D -- Longhair\talk 21:12, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Re: Need help in Creating a Wiki Page for my Company[edit]

Could you please help me out that what will be the step by step procedure or is there any other way to have a wiki page for my company — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giri1994 (talkcontribs) 17:00, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@Giri1994: No, because as I replied to you earlier, take a read of the information at WP:PROMO, which says in short... self promotion of your own business isn't recommended. Your business needs to be notable for an article. -- Longhair\talk 17:06, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Magicmantv[edit]

Hi Longhair, while there does seem to be a potential COI issue going on with this account, can you clarify whether there was any username issue? I didn't see a connection between the name Magicmantv and Draft:Ryan Tricks. ceranthor 18:07, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ceranthor: Yeah, I tend to agree now the username is fine. There's a hell of a lot of COI and promo edits going on there. I'll review... gimme 5. -- Longhair\talk 18:09, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: Thanks for double checking. ceranthor 18:40, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

132.219.146.171[edit]

The vandalism appears to be coming from multiple IPs, I think a rangeblock is needed. SemiHypercube 18:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@SemiHypercube: Yes, I just noticed them move. At the Doogie article? I'll look into a range block now if I can find them again. -- Longhair\talk 18:35, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@SemiHypercube: 132.219.146.168/29 blocked for a month. Let me know if they resurface please. -- Longhair\talk 18:38, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

--UTRSBot (talk) 19:20, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

I don't use UTRS... every account with the string YEET within I've spotted today has been trolling the site... I suspect this one is now trolling you... my block log will show plenty of exampled of this YEET vandalism related nonsense. -- Longhair\talk 19:24, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
I looked at this through CU for UTRS. From what I can tell, the accounts actually aren't connected and it's just a meme. In most cases, it's probably a good giveaway for a vandal account, but they aren't socks (or, at least the three accounts I looked at weren't related, though, I did find one sleeper of one of the ones you blocked.) TonyBallioni (talk) 06:00, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
@TonyBallioni: Thanks. I'll let them be until they show signs of idiocy from now. My meme knowledge database is out of date. I only just learned what a thot was this week. :) -- Longhair\talk 07:42, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
OK, I have unblocked and renamed the account. FWIW it's a new meme to me as well! Just Chilling (talk) 21:50, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

History of Wikipedia[edit]

Instead of rushing to revert my edits, have you actually tried to check the statistics pages for the Spanish and Russian Wikipedias? The former has 111 530 000 edits right now, and the latter - almost 96 000 000 (last October it had 100 000 000 edits https://web.archive.org/web/20171021221243/https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Служебная:Статистика , but they changed the number in February this year for some reason). 1 000 000 edits for such huge Wikipedias as Spanish and Russian is just nonsensical, someone must have vandalised this page before me. Thank you very much for reverting my useful edit. 109.252.165.96 (talk) 09:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@109.252.165.96: Fixed in 2 seconds. With the sheer volume of vandalism hitting Wikipedia most days, especially new editors modifying figures... mistakes will happen. You could have reverted also. Happy editing... -- Longhair\talk 09:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
I’m sorry if my comment came off as rude and aggressive, I was just writing it in a state of indignation. I’m generally wary of reverting other people’s edits lest it’s interpreted as an edit war, so I preferred to use the talk page instead. 109.252.165.96 (talk) 10:01, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
@109.252.165.96: I'm more than happy to hear when I get something wrong and wiling to repair mistakes. Cheers. -- Longhair\talk 10:06, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

SpeedwayInfo[edit]

Greetings! I noticed your CoI notices on the user talk of SpeedwayInfo while I was writing up a CoI notice on the conflict of interest noticeboard. Just wondering if I should continue with the report or just hold off because you seem to have it under control. Thanks. --Whispering(t) 14:21, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@Whispering: Well, they're not answering. My concerns related to the sheer number of links to the UK speedyway site. Many articles use that as a sole reference alone. -- Longhair\talk 14:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
@Whispering: I was considering a promotional editing block just as your message arrived. -- Longhair\talk 14:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
@Whispering: They've edited several times since. Hold off on the COIN post. I'll block them which should elicit a response. There's something SPAish about this one. -- Longhair\talk 14:28, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
@Longhair: Alright, I'll let you handle it. New Page Patrol away! --Whispering(t) 14:29, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

It may just be that the speedwaygb website is the most easily available source for speedway in the UK. I have edited quite a few speedway articles myself and have often cited that website. Is there any further reason for suspecting that SpeedwayInfo is being paid to edit? Knowing how the BSPA works, that seems unlikely to me. --Michig (talk) 10:05, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@Michig: They've denied paid editing at their talk page and I'm satisfied with that. Another administrator is dealing with their unblock request as they've also raised username concerns. I'll allow them to finish what they've already started. I did ask the editor twice to respond to the paid editing concerns and unfortunately a block was the only means to determine an answer since they mentioned not seeing any messages. They should receive a response from another administrator before too long. -- Longhair\talk 10:09, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Unintended deletion; I did not put the advertisements that web page[edit]

My web page, SyntheticET, was deleted and I don't know why, though it was reported that it included advertisements or some other matter that is not permitted by Wikipedia. I have used the SyntheticET account for many years, and never encountered that kind of invasion of my web submissions. If you find this is true, please restore SyntheticET for me. I enjoy it very much and have been credited with many appreciated responses.SyntheticET (talk) 23:06, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@SyntheticET: Your content has been restored. -- Longhair\talk 05:55, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Sockpuppet attacking me[edit]

I think User:CrowOfSeville is a sockpuppet of User:ItsLassieTime he created an account and immediately vandalized my talk page. also he left messages on an account you blocked — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.124.118 (talk) 09:42, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@75.66.124.118: They've made one decent edit to an article, and another saying they're in 3rd grade. I'll watch the account. They also make mention of another account that left rubbish at my talk page earlier. Showing signs of not being here for anything other than games... -- Longhair\talk 10:57, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
CrowOfSeville/Moppyjonahmommy is Huff slush7264 (talk · contribs). Basically just a time-waster and minor irritant. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:40, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Prisoner (TV series)[edit]

Hi there, if you can, would you mind cleaning up the Prisoner (TV series) article a bit? A disruptive IP editor was adding tons of unsourced trivia, and he ignored my attempts to engage in discussion, and just reverted blindly anytime I tried to fix the problem. Instead of edit warring, I went to ask for page protection, and an admin put the page under extended protection. However, the IP had been spamming the article with dozens of [citation needed] tags all over it, apparently because he wanted to engage in an edit war - and he did that right before the page protection took effect. The admin that protected the page did not notice those disruptive edits, I guess. I'm hoping that, at the very least, you can remove those tags, as they are completely over-the-top and the result of an anon IP's rage. Thanks. Ewen Douglas (talk) 18:28, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ewen Douglas: According to the talk page another editor has performed a cleanup, though it's still a mess. I'd rather not enter what seems to be a dispute over content, because that makes it harder for me to act to stamp out any disruption. Hit the talk page and see if you can find other editors willing to assist. I did see the massive chart added earlier this week and understand that's a little overkill and that's pretty much how this began. -- Longhair\talk 02:37, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Yes, someone took care of the CN tags, thanks. The rest is minor stuff - there's some unsourced stuff that the anon IP added a source for, but of course, the source doesn't actually say what the text in the article stated. But that can all be worked out after the protection expires, I suppose. If the IP comes back to disrupt more, can I contact you to assist? Ewen Douglas (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
@Ewen Douglas: I'll try to assist if I'm around Cheers. -- Longhair\talk 21:20, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

This is Carol Jiani Longhair i know better the facts that i edited i also noticed it says date of birth which is incorrect so ask google to remove it Thank you[edit]

Caroljiani (talk) 11:06, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@Caroljiani: Please review the information at Wikipedia:Autobiography#Problems_in_an_article_about_you on dealing with an article about yourself. It is not recommended due to conflict of interest issues to edit articles about yourself due to your possible inability to observe our neutral point of view policy. It is recommended to request edits on the article talk page. Google obtains information from Wikipedia so the issues at Google are likely due to misinformation in the article. -- Longhair\talk 11:28, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@Caroljiani: Your date of birth doesn't appear in your Wikipedia article from what I can see. Are you seeing this information somewhere else perhaps? Feel free to point out where you are seeing this information in case I am overlooking where it is located. -- Longhair\talk 03:22, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

COI Notice[edit]
