Silvera entry

No worries, re: tagging it for deletion. I'll try it again and make it more about their ideas so it doesn't sound promotional (they are an important NGO in Calgary and deserve a brief entry, so I'll just do a better job of it -- keep it short and sweet but more on their ideas/publications with links to 3rd party citations vs. just services).

Flight 409

Hello OluwaCurtis, I received your message about the deletion of the Flight 409 page. I created the page due to the significance of the band in the early 2000's alternative rock music scene.

Bijurdelimon----

Questions regarding promotional concepts: I'm slightly concerned on the promotional sweep because as a person understanding oil lubrication products I see 100's of labels and old machines with "Vogel" and I'm told by my instructors that "Vogel" was the largest and most respected company 20 years ago. I can find a ton of their products on E-bay and some companies still reference them on their sale page. But, I can't find a tidbit of history about this company since is was acquired by SKF. It is really sad to see these dust collecting prices of equipment and not be able to turn to wikipedia for the history and inventiveness of the company. It is very troubling to me because I want to start a "Vogel" page but they are lost to history so I started a BijurDelimon page since they aren't the largest but the oldest still in business. I'm concerned about what is promotional to you isn't promotional to me because I'm interested in oil lubricators. Not being about to find anything about Vogel makes me sad because SKF is eating up companies with rich history "lincoln" was their latest and trying to erase them. BijurDelimon might be next.

George Kirwan Carr Lloyd (1810-1877)

I'm a bit mystified about your message.

First of all, George Kirwan Carr Lloyd died on 15 June 1877, which was 138 years ago by my calculation. I don't think that by any usual definition of the term he can count as a living person, though I am open to correction.

Secondly, the article I put up has three online sources. If you think further referencing would improve the validation of the facts, I'll be happy to do so.

Please let me know.--Clifford Mill (talk) 18:09, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Warning of editors

Firstly, this edit here does not constitute vandalism. Unnecessary tagging of editor's edits as vandalism is considered disruptive. I'm also aware of your warning here. A level 1 warning is more appropriate. Editors should not be issued a level 3 or 4 warning if they've not been previously warned. Issuing a level 3 or 4 warning as you did there is inappropriate and may be considered bitey to new editors. Warm regards! Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 03:02, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Gabriel Olutola

There are some issues with Gabriel Olutola, which I just deleted.

I had previously identified some concerns with this article. You seem to understand that there were issues and agreed to address them. We let some time elapse so you could address them, but you did not make any substantive progress toward resolving the problems.

In addition, you are not communicating in a way that is desirable for editors. You are perfectly free to remove material from your talk page (although archiving is generally considered preferable). However, if you simply remove material and do not respond, it is difficult to understand your thinking. I don't know for example, whether you felt that you cured the copyright problems, or perhaps thought that the source of the text was an acceptable source. If you explain your actions it will be easier to help you.

I recently deleted the article because it had copyright problems and I saw no action by you to address them. I now see that you have restored the article in substantially the same form as the article that was deleted. Again, if you do not communicate I do not know what you are thinking. I don't know whether you thought it was deleted in error, whether you thought you cured the problem, or something else.

I notice that the version you restored is not exactly worded the same way as the source. However, we have seen editors who think that changing a word here or there cures a copyright problem. It does not. Please read the following link for more information: Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing

I also ran a duplication detector which does not pick up close paraphrasing, it only picks up exact matches. Even with this cruder measure the article is problematic. I'll provide the link below so you can see the results. However, I emphasize that changing a word or two here or there to eliminate the exact matches is not the cure.

Duplication Detector

Unfortunately, we have identified other articles with issues. I haven't had a chance to look closely but we may be following up with other articles which need addressing.

I urge you to take this quite seriously. If you are editing with a misunderstanding of policy we can help you understand the rules. If you do understand the rules and ignore them, you may be blocked. Explaining your actions will be the best way to ensure that doesn't happen.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:56, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, OluwaCurtis.

I am looking further into potential copyright issues with your editing and need to let you know that I have corrected a "cut & paste" move you did at Lagosians. You may reuse Wikipedia's content, here and elsewhere, but you can only do so if you meet the term of our license. Copying content without attribution does not meet those terms. On Wikipedia, if you want to give an article a new title you should move it. If you cannot move it, or if you only want to copy a part of it, you may do so only if you meet the terms of Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

I've repaired the problem by merging the history here, but in future if you wish to copy content from one page to another, please be sure you follow those steps, which are essential to meet the license and to legally reuse the content.

I have also removed material from the articles The Campus Queen and Ayọ Ni Mọ Fẹ that was copied from or very closely paraphrased sources.

With respect to the former, on September 16th you placed the following text:

You have been notified of our copyright policies and should by this time be aware that you may not copy content from your sources in this way.

I will be continuing to review your contributions to see if a contributor copyright investigation is necessary.

In the meantime, I have revoked your rights, as both require you to be familiar with our copyright policy. Please read WP:C and Wikipedia:Copy-paste before requesting restoration of either of these.

Further violations of our copyright policy may result in the suspension of your account without further notice. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:13, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

CCI open

After sampling some of your edits and finding copy-paste issues such as this discussed above in several additional, I have confused with another administrator and a copyright clerk and opened a contributor copyright investigation to ask experienced Wikipedia editors to ensure that any other issues of copy-pasting or close paraphrasing are removed. The specific investigation is at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20150927.

I want to be clear that this is not a disciplinary process. The intention is to make sure that content complies with our copyright policies and to repair it where it does not. The page has been opened under the date rather than a name, and it will be courtesy blanked when the investigation is complete. Unfortunately, given the backlog in the area, it may be some time before it is complete.

To avoid burdening you with notices of issues that happened prior to the explanation of our copyright policies above, users who work on this are asked not to leave you individual notices of errors. If you wish to know what articles are evaluated and what the findings are, please watchlist that CCI page. Users will make notes similar to those I've left when they find areas of concern and should note what action has been taken.

While people who are investigated in this way are not permitted to close out listings themselves, you not only can but are encouraged to help out with cleanup. If you know of issues are wish to look for them yourself, please just put a note on the page below the listing explaining what the problem was and what you've done to correct it. This can greatly speed the processing and closure of the CCI.

If you do choose to rewrite content that has been removed, please be very careful to rewrite it completely. Close paraphrasing is a common problem people encounter when attempting to rewrite it especially line by line. If content is clearly derivative of the source, copyright issues continue. We are conservative with copyright on Wikipedia to avoid potential legal issues for the project, our contributors and our content reusers, who may be located in areas with stricter copyright laws than the U.S. law that governs us. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:34, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, I have read your reply, The content you restored is not useful or necessary to that particular part of PMB's page as it has been written above and it is seen clearly that he "Assumed Office on 29 May 2015". The content you usually restore is repeated over three times, There are other information that need to be added after that instead of writing "in office since may 29 2015" Buhari is not only Nigeria's President but also the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, stating this tells new visitors of his page that he has powers over the armed forces and not only to the civilians. Who ever opens his page will definitely and surely see it clearly that he assumed office on 29 May 2015 below his image and title, repeating it in his biography makes no sense.

Category reverts

Hello OluwaCurtis. I am somewhat bemused by your reverts of my correcting the categories for a couple of Nigerian politicians. Your revert at Goodluck Jonathan was even more bizarre as you introduced some kind of error into one of the references as well. For the record, the categories are at Category:Candidates in the Nigerian general election, 2011 etc – I have no idea why you consider this "unconstructive", as the title correctly matches the main article title Nigerian general election, 2011.

Muhammadu Buhari

Regarding the substance of the edit war, I'm curious what your basis is for declaring that the source cited by the other editor is not a reliable one. ExpressNG, also known as Entertainment Express, is a newspaper, which usually get the presumption of reliability unless their unreliability has been covered in reliable sources. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 03:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

@GrammarFascist:, since you've identified the source as reliable, the issue with the other editor is adding COI materials/edits which I think is not right. Regards! --OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 08:48, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello, OluwaCurtis. Thank you for conceding that ExpressNG/Entertainment Express seems to be a reliable source. After reviewing Giantsofnigeria's talk page, and the talk page for the article in question, I find no evidence for (nor even any suggestion of) that editor having a conflict of interest. A COI in this case would be if, for example, Giantsofnigeria was employed directly by Buhari, or was Buhari himself. Please remember to assume good faith about other editors; this includes assuming they do not have a conflict of interest in the absence of evidence indicating otherwise. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 10:37, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Tagging of Michael Ann Young

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Michael Ann Young. I do not think that Michael Ann Young fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because A simple Google search on the stated name and profession showed who the subject was. I request that you consider not re-tagging Michael Ann Young for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. Please remember that if you can learn enough about the subject to make further edits from the article or its cited sources or links, or from a simple web search based on those, it is not lacking context. "Lacking context" is for cases where no one could reasonably learn more about the subject, like "John Jones is a very nice man." Also, it is generally a good idea to give a bit more time for an editor to work on a new article before tagging it for "empty", "not context", or A7 aka "no claim of significance". DES (talk) 18:20, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

DESiegel, I had plans on expanding the article. I tagged it for speedy deletion because it only contained an infobox. Thanks for expanding it though. Regards! —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 18:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
If you plan on expanding an article, there is no need and no good reason to tag it for speedy deletion. You can always tag "needs expansion" instead, but if you plan to work on the issue, there is really no need to tag at all. Using a speedy deletion tag is saying "Will some admin please delete this at once, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia".
Look at the history, The creator appears to have done most of the expansion. What it realy needs now is cited sources. The initial text seems based on the IMDB bio (and is just short of a copyvio) or more likely of the subjects "official" bio also submitted to IMDB. But no reliable sources have yet been cited (and IMDB isn't reliable for this sort of thing).
@DESiegel:, Exactly!!! I couldn't find any meaningful material about the subject. Since IMDb isn't reliable, I couldn't help but tag it for deletion. —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 18:35, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
That circumstance is exactly what WP:PROD or WP:BLPPROD is for, or just a notability tag. The speedy criteria are intentionally narrow. If an article isn't a fairly exact fit for one of them, please don't use it. DES (talk) 18:38, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Also, the only cases in which a speedy tag is pretty much mandatory is a major copyright infringement, or a clear attack page. Anything else an editor always has the option not to tag if s/he thinks further work might bring it up to speed. DES (talk) 18:40, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate that. —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 18:43, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

You are welcome. Have a look at this version of an article tagged for speedy as "no context", if you want an example. Then look at the later edits and the current state of the article. DES (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
DESiegel, the example given is very different from this one. Just an infobox with no introduction or whatsoever. —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 18:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Spark Energy

Hi, you tagged Spark Energy (disambiguation) for speedy deletion on account of it appearing to be a test page. I created the disambiguation page as an aid to searching as there are two companies with the same common name: one is based in Scotland, the other based in the US. The primary topic is the company in Scotland, but the other company based in the US is listed on the NASDAQ. There has only been one article created and an article for deletion discussion is underway. There hasn't been an article created for the company that is based in the US. I had removed some content from the main article that related to the company based in the US. I put that material on the talk page but thought that I should also try to leave something else to indicate that there is more than one company using the name.

Information icon Hello OluwaCurtis. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3),or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Two hour early dismissal. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

My recent addition of Sue Hendra to list of people from Brighton

Hello OluwaCurtis, I am writing to you about the classification of Sue Hendra, author and illustrator, as 'non-notable entity'.

I hope that I can clear this up a little.

Sue Hendra has sold over 2million books in the UK alone and also sells around the world. She has written and illustrated over 100 titles through 22 years. One of her books (Wanda and the alien) has been adapted for television and is currently on screens in over 70 countries. She is multiple award winning and Is to be next years (2016) world book day author for pre school children. She has created all her work and spent most of her life in Brighton and lives there still.

I am currently writing a full wiki article on her for submission.

All of this information is easily found at the very least by using Google.

I hope I have helped to explain the reason for her inclusion in the 'Notable people from Brighton' list.

P.S I am new to Wikipedia so I apologise in advance for any errors or deviations from protocol.

Kind Regards

Chupitnik (talk) 11:53, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello Chupitnik, the person you listed might be notable but I reverted your edit because the person has no Wikipedia article. Create one first before adding it on the article. Regards. —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 17:36, 26 November 2015 (UTC)


With all due respect, I have read through the notability guidelines and I can see no good reason for Sue Hendra not to be included in a list of notable Brighton people. The title of the list is not 'Notable people of brighton who are also on wikipedia'. There is plenty of evidence to support the fact that Sue Hendra is notable therefore her removal only diminishes the lists thoroughness. As I understand it Wikipedia is about information.

Kind Regards,

P.S. There are other people on the list that have no wikipedia article connected to them.

Chupitnik (talk) 18:07, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Chupitnik, none of Sue's works or articles related to her are on Wikipedia therefore she can't be on that list. As I previously said, create an article about the subject. —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 18:13, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Unsupervised Stiki

Rsenften (talk) 20:15, 5 December 2015 (UTC)I'm sorry about the multiple edits. I'm afraid STiki has misidentified me as making malicious edits. I was merely trying to honor James W. Reese by adding the Medal Of Honor image to his page. I got the file name wrong so for the multiple edits. Strange way of respecting a MOH recipient.

At the top of this page it reads "Be polite, and welcoming to new users", I don't consider "This is your last warning" polite. From the other posts her I suggest you unplug Stiki and try using gray matter instead.

Hi, I wanted to drop you a note that I had undone your reversion as you did not offer an edit summary and appeared to continue editing other articles without responding to my request to engage on the Talk page. Just to be clear, I am editing from 3 locations, and the 73, 169, and 2600 IP addresses are all me. I don't want to be non-transparent, and am not doing this to scam anyone. Its just that I show up as whatever IP address I am working from.

I am particularly concerned about this article because it is a drug that has been shown to extend life by a year or more, and if we present an unrealistically negative view of it, some may read the article and stop their medication. I believe the material in the Controversy section in particular mis-represents the conclusions of the study cited, and I'd really appreciate it if you would give the source a careful read before reverting me again. I believe the dementia risk is explicitly called out as "theoretical" in the cited source, and that is one that will be really scary to people, probably unnecessarily per the source.

According to the Page summary here http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Valsartan/sacubitril, over 150 people a day view this article, and I believe that our work here has real consequences in people's lives. Thanks.

Hi there

The assertion that a class of degree is not relevant makes no sense, given that it's usually given for public figures. For example, George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer:

Osborne was educated at independent schools: Norland Place School, Colet Court and St Paul's School.[7] In 1990 he was awarded a demyship at Magdalen College, Oxford,[3] where in 1993 he received a 2:1 bachelor's degree in Modern History. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.161.193 (talk) 23:23, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Derek Blasberg shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Fazal Din Group

This page should not be speedily deleted because it holds great significance as the oldest healthcare conglomerate in Pakistan. It partnered up with Howards, a British Pharmaceutical company that was one of the first in the world to market penicillin, to create a factory in Lahore by the name of Lahore Chemical and Pharmaceutical Works. It also has partnered up with Toshiba to create Medequips, a notable medical equipment firm in Pakistan, and was also involved with Schering AG to create MediPharm, a manufacturing plant, in Lahore. Schering was subsequently bought out by Bayer in 2002. The latest addition under the Fazal Din Group is sehat.com.pk, which is Pakistan's first online pharmacy delivering medicines nationwide.

I would kindly request more time to work on this article as I feel it holds great significance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Holyroller123 (talk • contribs) 13:19, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Sehat Online Pharmacy

Hi,

Recently two of the pages we contributed to were deleted. We are affiliated with them but created the pages because of historical significance. We tried our best to write them from a neutral point of view but clearly we stepped over the line.

We have now re-written the article and disclosed our affiliation. Kindly restore and let us make the appropriate changes to comply with Wikipedia’s guidelines.

Pages that were deleted and why they should be restored:

Fazal Din Group

Notability: 1. Historical significance and names of various businesses of the group were mentioned 2. Credible links of local media were mentioned Not a Promotional article: 1. The website or product links were NOT mentioned for most of them except for the parent company

Sehat Online Pharmacy

Notability: 1. Credible links of local media were mentioned 2. It is also the first online pharmacy of Pakistan, while many other exist but none have the infrastructure or resources to cater the needs of nationwide customers. We will now be providing pictures of our huge warehouse and disclose our 0800 number to show our credibility Not a Promotional article: 1. All the facts were stated which are already easily verifiable through the links provided 2. Some elements were sort of making it look promotional, they have now been omitted 3. It cannot be considered an orphan article as it can be directly linked to the Fazal Din Group


It would be very highly appreciated to cooperate with you in the fullest to further contribute to the significant encyclopedic information that Wikipedia has to offer, on noteworthy individuals, events, and organizations that have made a notable historical impact in the world. We humbly ask you to restore the Sehat Online Pharmacy and Fazal Din Group articles on this very basis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Holyroller123 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Recent speedy deletion tags

I understand the reason that you tagged the pages for speedy deletion, but the no content rationale should only be given after a little time has passed.

The speedy tag can always be readded if no work is done. 331dot (talk) 13:26, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Sehat Online Pharmacy

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Sehat holds significance as not only being Pakistan's first nationwide online pharmacy, but also as a project under the oldest healthcare conglomerate in Pakistan, the Fazal Din Group.

Speedy tagging

Thanks for patrolling new pages, but WP:CSD#A11 was not the right tag for MaheshKulkarni just now. A11 is intended for people who have invented a new word or a joke religion or something like that. MaheshKulkarni was a simple autobio page with no assertion of significance or importance, so WP:CSD#A7 was the right tag. Selecting the correct tag is important, so that the newbie understands the problem and, maybe, does better next time. Where it is their first edit, it is helpful, and makes the message less WP:BITEy, to post a welcome message like {{subst:welcome}} on their talk page before the speedy-deletion notice.

There is good advice for speedy-taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:15, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Contesting nomination of Deletion for KLY

Sir. I understand that you nominated South African singer KLY for deletion. My reasons for contesting your nomination is that KLY released an EP late last year that has been well received by thousands of South African R&B listeners. He has appeared in interviews such as Hip-Hop-Galaxy. he had also been interviewed by Slikour, whose opinion is heavily respected in the South African Hip Hop music industry. KLY re-released his project, now available for purchase on iTunes, and streaming on Apple Music And TiDal. He is climbing the air-play charts on radio stations such as YFM and UJFM. His music video with Riky Rick has been played over 40,000 times, which I consider makes him a notable subject. Am doing he frequently collaborates with other major South African musicians as well as other international artists such as Nigerian singers YCEE and Wizkid Ayo. He just finished his music video with Wizkid which Is soon to be released. He has Brennan named by many sources as the South African upcoming artist to watch in 2017. If his page is deleted now, you guys will regret it three months down the line.

Oluwa2Chainz (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am making this appeal due to my passion for this project and the pressure to prove my innocence. An editor with over 500 created articles should know that sock puppetry is what the community frowns at. No? I edit from Nigeria and the IP service provided by my ISP shows "Suspected Network Sharing Device" i.e a public IP address of a router with more than one device behind it. After this observation, it dawned on me that I surely must have been sharing the same IP with several accounts on here. I must admit that I began to fear for a situation like this ever since my IP got affected following the block on Wikicology before I was given the IP-exempt user right after an appeal. I have seen some usernames popping up and I am being accused to be the owner of those accounts which is, to me, quite laughable; but I won't blame the CUs anyway. . . To Versace1608, Darreg and Mahveotm, your concern towards this issue is highly appreciated. Thank You.

Decline reason:

"reverted to last version" by them, or I saw them "rv to last version" by me. And those pages can be truely spambanks for non-notable DJs, holy men, poets, singers, and, of course, "businessmen."

  • Kaizenify admitted that Imagekraft was his in this thread and there is more evidence laid out there. Additionally there is more evidence here.

I have never seen nor been with Kaizenify and I only know him to be a photographer as his userpage states. It is about time you stop counter-attacking my view on this issue and then begin to think about what an established editor can add to the encyclopedia and not about a mix-up caused by an ISP. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 07:58, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

No, not at all. As an experienced editor, I decided to stay calm, follow the case then request for an unblock at the right time. I believe this is the right time to tender my request after the heat must have died down. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 00:11, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
  • So I was considering the best and worse case implications that could arise from unblocking Oluwa2Chainz.
Worst case: Oluwa2Chainz has socked in the pastOluwa2Chainz is actually CPN, but he has realized his mistakes even though he isn't modest enough to state it. He would stop socking since he now knows all eyes are on him. FWIW, CPN wasn't so bad, for me to appeal that he request to get unblocked tells you that I have a level of confidence that he was here to build an encyclopedia, just didn't understand some core things properly during his early days. Probably too excited on the prospect of being a WP editor, and used wrong approach, continuous socking in attempting to correct his mistake. To cut the long story short, Wikipedia wins, and a prolific editor is retained.
Best case: Oluwa2Chainz is innocent of everything and didn't deserve to get blocked in the first place. This was as a result of similar ip allocation in Nigerian cyberspace. Wikipedia retains a major content creator and level-headed editor. In both cases, Wikipedia wins. What could possibly go wrong from unblocking him?
In both scenerios highlighted above, I do not see how unblocking could have an adverse effect on Wikipedia. WP wins both ways. But then again, I ask myself, is there compelling evidence to make Oluwa2Chainz blocked indefinitely? I don't have Checkuser rights, so I can't see the ip trends, but based on the behavioral evidence, I say "NO". There is enough evidence that show that it may be logical but to indef an experienced editor forever, I don't think so. Please revert if my unbiased opinion is not helping this case. Darreg (talk) 10:13, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
I think that's a fair assessment, Darreg, pointing out that either way, WP wins; and, ultimately WP "winning" is what it's all about, Alfie. ----->SerialNumber54129...speculates 10:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Full disclosure: I have no understanding of CU work. But I will say I was shocked to see Oluwa2Chainz blocked. I wasn't aware of their article creations, which is a little embarrassing, but I often encounter them doing sterling work in the unfortunately growing field of self-aggrandisement by Nigerian "non-notable DJs, holy men, poets, singers, and, 'businessmen'", as Serial Number 54129 puts it. Not just reverting them, but talking to them, explaining how Wikipedia works, etc. And O2C is someone ignorant people like me can consult about Nigerian sources, compare [1]. I wish we had many more editors with the background, competence, and enthusiasm to do the work Oluwa2Chainz has been doing. If there's any chance you're wrong, Berean Hunter, I hope you'll unblock. And if there isn't, I would still hope for a time-limited block. Time served is already three weeks, hint, hint. Bishonen | talk 11:44, 9 December 2017 (UTC).
@Berean Hunter: why is this case stalling tho'? —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
  • I am endorsing Darreg and Bishonen's thoughts above. Mistakes may have been made, technical limitation may have blurred something. But overall, the chief purpose of block on Wikipedia is plain clear: to prevent disruption or harm to the project. Once the fear of such disruption no longer exist there is no reason for continual block as it changed from prevention of project to punishing a user. –Ammarpad (talk) 21:43, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm not believing the response from Oluwa2Chainz. On Nov. 15, he pinged me from this talk page but then reverted himself a minute later. A few hours later, I received an email which was carbon-copied to the functionaries mailing list from another admin asking for a second checkuser opinion. The admin said that he was doing this for a friend from WUGN. The two accounts defended together were Oluwa2Chainz and Kaizenify. They were discussed as individuals that the "friend" had worked with and had spoken to both "a few days ago". The admin explained "...and they say that in the past they had been passing around an Internet modem between them and both Kaizenify and Oluwa2Chainz had been affected by another user's autoblock and they ended up being unblocked afterwards...".

I don't believe that Oluwa2Chainz has not discussed this with anyone at all as he implies above and I don't think that is plausible. With that admin and friend proxying Oluwa2Chainz's defense, he was silent. Above, he said that he has followed this case but did not contradict what I said on Nov. 28, "Oluwa2Chainz originally pinged me to his talk page but then reverted and sent an email to another admin. That admin sent an email and I replied." I also noted in that same diff that I said "This will help to have the blocked editors answering questions. You cannot necessarily answer for them." That was 14 days after I blocked and the third editor counting the admin to answer for Oluwa2Chainz. If I don't have a fire under me to get to this request, I'll note that Oluwa2Chainz set that pace. Discovering that I had power again this morning after our winterstorm, I have more pressing issues than suddenly seeing this as urgent.

I'm inclined to think that Oluwa2Chainz filed this unblock request after those proxied attempts didn't work and Kaizenify's attempts failed based on the timeline. Oluwa2Chainz says that he doesn't know him and doesn't know about modem sharing. Kaizenify had acknowledged sharing a modem with others as the friend had said. That at least was plausible why these certain editors are popping up together.

The ones appearing all around Oluwa2Chainz are the guilty looking ones. Other members of WUGN mentioned on this page do not appear to have these odd coincidences surrounding them.

Oluwa2Chainz, on the day that Kaizenify did the Imagekraft unblock request (socking), you shared his IP. On another day, I find you on the same IP as the two socks you suggested. Where are all of these other Nigerian editors and why aren't they being mixed in here? I see you and the socks on the same IP with the same operating system version on the same day. If so many Nigerian editors are being mixed in together as implied, I'd like to see it. I get the impression that excuses have been provided.

Oluwa2Chainz, who do you think that the friend that sent the email to the admin on your behalf was? Do you know who that admin was?

Also, would you care to explain about this AfD? To me, it looks like you offered a ridiculous delete rationale. You got your support from undisclosed paid editors. It took regulars to make the sound arguments. That suspicious behavior makes an impression.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 00:14, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

I would like to know how pinging you has an effect on this matter. I have no idea on whatever email you received and I was never behind it if you indeed received an email. I have never attended a WUGN function so I think the thought of modem sharing between myself and someone else should be waived. As I previously said, I had to stay calm and follow the case before I would make an unblock request. You said I offered a ridiculous delete rationale on an AfD which I detailed my reasons for it's nomination and you further went on to accuse me of getting support from paid-editors I have never crossed path with on this project. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 08:09, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
That ping establishes that you knew you were blocked and wanted a checkuser ASAP. To me, it starts a logical order because just a few hours later that same request will come from an admin and a friend on your behalf. Now, the SPI case was over and if you didn't file an unblock request (and no one else in this case did until Nov. 26) how were you following the case? What did you expect to happen and why?
That you received your support in that AfD from undisclosed paid editors is a fact. MassiveYR !votes and then you challenge and they oblige you. This delete was from XFhumu which was another UPE sock from the same group blocked by a different admin. The other delete was from a sock from this case. You don't see that socks are the ones backing you up?
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 14:28, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
I pinged you and reverted after a second thought to stay calm because I know how frustrating some administrators who see themselves as demigods on here can be. I repeat, I have no idea whoever emailed you and I wasn't behind it and why do I feel these accusations are a kind of baiting? It is clear that some administrators like yourself are "block-happy", why didn't you go through my contributions and compare my style of edit with the other accounts you claim I'm socking with? Have my edits been disruptive? Can't I argue with editors on an AfD to reach a consesus for the good of this project? I refuse to agree that checkuser can be 100% right and again you might as well brand the users supporting me on this page as socks. I have a clear conscience on this one and I put it to you that whatever decision you make on this case doesn't affect me in anyway. I move on, Wikipedia moves on. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 15:56, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
You knew you were blocked on the 15th of November. Do you remember how long before that day that you had communications with this guy?
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Of course the guy is a member of WUGN and was only concerned about the block and it stopped there. On a second thought, I have the right to have a word off-wiki with fellow members in my user-group community and I do not see how I violated any Wikipedia policy by my actions. I am experienced enough to handle this issue myself hence my decision to wait and follow the case. I have been seeing the accusations you were peddling around of me socking and I thought keeping mute for too long might not help my reputation on this project. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 16:57, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
For clarity, this is a reversal of your previous answer that you didn't confer with anyone at all about your block. Is that right?
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 17:33, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Can you stop these attacks already? Why do I think you are finding a way to justify the block? I am not a toddler and I refuse to be intimidated. You are trying so hard not to admit that all these were a mix-up afterall, but the pride that comes with being an admin and your "check-user evidence" won't let you. I can understand. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 17:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
@Berean Hunter:, As I said earlier, I think behavioral evidence should take precedence over whatever outcomes from checkuser findings. And I don't understand how his communication with that guy has anything to do here. I can't recall reading any policy which prohibits blocked users from communicating with members of their usergroup if there was ever any. Darreg has pointed out in clear terms that unblocking could be a net positive and this was further echoed by several other notable contributors. And I think this conversation is getting too personal, you accused him of meat-puppetry with Kaizenify, socking with these accounts you listed above and now trying to bring an issue of whether he probably interacted with members of his usergroup. Mahveotm (talk) 18:41, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Sorry to join in. I have been watching this for days and while, Berean Hunter, I do not for a moment, doubt your handling of the matters, given that quite a few experienced non-CU users have supported unblocking for the greater encyclopedic good et al, would it be prudential for some of the other functionaries to chime in and/or the unnamed admin to present his/her statements?Regards:)Winged BladesGodric 14:28, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

con'd

Was that your way of agreeing that you gave incorrect info to me? That's your behavior triggering the red flags here. When asked whether you can see that socks are supporting you in that AfD, you seem to not want to acknowledge that they are socks by minimizing it as "Can't I argue with editors on an AfD to reach a consesus for the good of this project?" which looks dismissive to me. So, you see them as editors and don't consider them as socks?

"I repeat, I have no idea whoever emailed you and I wasn't behind it and why do I feel these accusations are a kind of baiting?"

I was hoping for the truth. With your reversal above, that reassures me that you do have an idea about that email. If that guy has tried a stealth approach to getting you unblocked then it matters. You turned to him and the communications happened rapidly. An email was sent but his identity was not revealed down the line. "Facts" were presented by your friend but it wasn't transparent. Your friend and Kaizenify both acknowledged modem sharing. You say that isn't it so and offer NAT as the reason.

For a recap, you, Adamk36 and Dominicstudent are sharing the same IP on the same day and have the same operating system with matching update versions. That is quite the coincidence considering that you are their accuser. For clarity, Kaizenify has a different operating system. No one else uses that IP on that day at all but you, Adamk36 and Dominicstudent. For all of this talk about Nigeria having to use NAT for all of those people...where are they? You're not being muxed with a bunch of people. Quite a concentration of socks surround you though.

You, that guy, Coal Press Nation and Kaizenify all share the same IPs and have had the exact same problem in uploading copyright images. This Commons case and your talk at Commons with CU results also included there. Behavior seems to link you as meatpuppets. Lots of coincidence? This is not a surprise to me.

You get caught behind that guy's autoblock...and no one else does. Where were all of those other Nigerian editors that are having to use NAT? I don't believe that anyone at all has been caught in an autoblock for the blocks placed on you, Kaizenify or the others although it is possible but I haven't seen this. Are you editing from that guy's home? It's his modem isn't it? Why aren't the other editors that you have pinged here from WUGN having these problems? I have seen Darreg's SPI and aware of what happened there but he doesn't have these problems recurring.

You took a different route on trying to get unblocked and the timeline and logic show that. You tried to deny the communications which seems to confirm that you are complicit. Why deny it if there was nothing wrong with communicating with him as you suggest? Why hide it?

I have invited review from other checkusers from the beginning. I proactively posted an email titled "Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dominicstudent" on Nov. 14 with CU data before you ever pinged me. I responded on Nov. 15 to the email sent to the functionaries titled "Request Review of CU findings (User:Oluwa2Chainz)" with more info and it included "I welcome other checkusers taking a thorough look." I know from the CU log that others have looked beyond what I posted in the CU email. It hasn't been skipped over and the invitation to review still stands. Any CU may email me to discuss.

You don't leave a lot of room for doubt by doubling down and denying knowledge of communicating with that guy and trying to hide it. His influence in this process is germane to this case. Hidden, proxied unblocking attempts with plausible deniability on your part doesn't work. It is meatpuppetry to have a banned user try to orchestrate or influence from a hidden position. Denying knowledge of that email will leave us at an impasse.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 13:51, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Of course CUs work with their check-user evidence but reality check, I do not understand how a sock master would ever want to report their socks. So, you see them as editors and don't consider them as socks? - How do I know they are socks when I have never crossed path with any of them here? It is clear you have taken this whole thing personal and please stop telling me about modem sharing and accusing me of knowing about an email you received or being with Kaizenify because it irks me. As I said earlier, this block does not in any way affect me or this project and if you think I will ever apologize over what I have a clean conscience on, you are wrong. We move on!! —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 14:40, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
"...how a sockmaster would want to report their socks..." - this statement gets me confused when I attempt to beleive the checkuser evidence. Editors sock to push POV, throw personal attack or to evade blocks but neither of those seem to be the case here. I'm yet to understand the supposed motivation if I were to believe Oluwa2Chainz had engaged in sockpuppetry.
I want to personally appeal to you not to abandon the project, not this way, not anyway. You are the Nigerian editor with the highest number of articles and edits. If you leave, the knowledge gap in African content will take a huge blow. I need you here, Nigeria need you here, ignore the seeminly annoying things about the Wikimedia administration and look at the bigger picture. Like you, I took a similar decision as you've done some years ago, but I came back mainly because I was concerned about Nigerian content, and realistically there is no alternative to Wikipedia in the cyberspace. They have the platform, nomatter how victimized you percieve yourself to be, you just need to tell them what they want to hear for now, albeit truthfully.
Let me also add that the bad thing about being blocked indefinitely is that in a few years time, if you change your mind and decide to come around with a new account, newer editors that do not know the genesis of the case will treat your edits aggressively with a excuse that it was from a banned user. I don't want you to take that path.
To this end, for the sake of clarity, I have a few questions for you. Please ignore any inner meanings to them and just provide answers to them untainted. This will go a long way in assisting the case.
  1. Do you have any idea on who Adamk36, Coal Press Nation or Dominicstudent could be? I believe they are not you, but do you have anything to say about them that will make us unravel their sockmaster?
  2. Have u ever taught anyone how to edit Wikipedia using your computer or on a shared network?
  3. On October 28, did u use a public computer to browse the internet or your personal computer
  4. To the best of your knowledge, do you have any friends/families/acquaintances that edit Wikipedia occasionally? (formerly Darreg) HandsomeBoy (talk) 07:34, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
@HandsomeBoy: Of course I feel victimized when I'm seen as a liar by someone who doesn't know anything about me outside Wikipedia. The answer to your questions above is a sound NO. I do not know who the aforementioned users are and with the help of Versace1608 I have always been on the look out for socks of Coal Press Nation because they keep using several accounts to put up promotional articles of upcoming music artists and non-notable persons. I edit from my personal laptop and sometimes my smartphone. @Berean Hunter:, this comment You get caught behind that guy's autoblock...and no one else does is false because Jamie Tubers and Olaniyan Olushola were also caught up with that guy's hard block hence their IPBE user rights. Are you going to say I am same as the aforementioned people or we all edit from that guy's home? If I was a sock of that guy, HighInBC, Yamla or Miniapolis would have detected it when I filed an unblock request. Why deny it if there was nothing wrong with communicating with him as you suggest? Why hide it? — I have previously noted that I have no knowledge about the email you received and I'll like to remind you that I am not the only person you blocked. The other person is a member of WUGN and I wonder why you keep assuming that I am the one who is behind the email when you clearly know that I am not the only person you blocked. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 15:24, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification Oluwa2Chainz. @Bearan Hunter, on a scale of 1-100%, how would you generally rate the accuracy of the Checkuser system? And sorry for the winterstorm, I hope it has subsided now. When I hear things like this on CNN, it makes me truly know that no part of this world is perfect.
This is my final take on this issue. If we can not guarantee that CU results are 100% efficient, then in accordance with WP:AGF, I do not see any compelling behavioral evidence to make me believe that Oluwa2Chainz is not telling the truth. At this point, I think an unblock will be in order considering the level of devotion this editor has shown to Wikipedia over the years and the fact that he has been blocked for over a month. The least we can do is to put faith in him when a computer program isn't. @Berean Hunter I apologize on behalf of o2c, if you felt demeaned by any of his words. I can assure you that he didn't mean them, and as soon as he gets unblocked, all that will be history. HandsomeBoy (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
You've linked to this. How is that connected to that guy?
For the other one, the reply "Yes, have been editing since the request because i switched to another internet modem." could be seen as backing up my evidence.
"...edit from my personal laptop..." Where? What kind of circumstances?
Further up the page, I had asked you to review the evidence and after you had replied inferring that you have, I commented about 17 minutes being a short time for that evaluation. You would go on to reveal that you have been following this case all along. If that is so, why didn't you ever respond to try to correct what I stated on Nov. 28, "Oluwa2Chainz originally pinged me to his talk page but then reverted and sent an email to another admin. That admin sent an email and I replied." Sorry, but if someone had wrote that about me and I didn't have an understanding of what the CU was talking about, that would be one of my first questions: What email? I didn't write any email. You responded, "I have answered your questions to the many thing you laid down..." and didn't address my statement about the email at all. After I got more poignant, you denied having any communications with anyone over your block. But that wasn't the case by your own admission. You waited more than two weeks after wanting a checkuser ASAP to file an unblock request and I believe that you wouldn't have done that unless you thought that you had some kind of request going on elsewhere. Your first ping wanting something ASAP is consistent with your general impatience (1, 2) making that two week wait seem unlikely.
"I do not understand how a sock master would ever want to report their socks."
To expound on that, you didn't report the socks. After it had become apparent that Velella had detected that they were socks and filed the SPI case, you suggested that they were CPN by pointing to the stale accounts. Given the circumstances that you pop up under a CU check on them, this could be seen as a deflection tactic because any checkuser requests against CPN would have most likely been declined by an SPI clerk because the accounts are stale and this was already known by you since you were the last one to have filed. The clerk-in-training's endorsement was to check the sock accounts against each other (justified) and potential connection to CPN. Either the clerk didn't recognize the accounts as stale or they did but were hoping that information in the CU logs might help.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 14:11, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
Your back and forth accusations are really frustrating and sincerely I am losing patience with your continuous dragging of this case. I admitted to the fact that I pinged for a checkuser out of my anxiety to prove my innocence of these allegations but decided to revert my edit then watch from the sideline. You admitted here that there might be a misunderstanding and I'ld like to demand a convincing proof that clearly shows that I am behind that email you received from an admin. I dug up this link because Anthere pointed out that it was not the first time Jamie Tubers was blocked because of a block affecting another user. The first block? The one handed to that guy. You seem to be reading and responding to my comments in a selective manner. I have mentioned two editors who were affected by the same block but you choose to comment on the one that suit your hypothesis. Contrary to your claim, at the time I wrote "I have answered your questions to the many thing you laid down" you never mentioned anything about email or presented any statement about email on this thread. This comment I believe that you wouldn't have done that unless you thought that you had some kind of request going on elsewhere appears to be a fundamental attribution error because you seem to have dismissed other situational factors. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 20:33, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Oluwa2Chainz (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Although my block was quite unfortunate, I believe I was wrong in involving myself in sock-puppetry which is something the Wiki community frowns at and I tender my apologies and promise never to engage in such again if given a second chance. Back in my early days as a new editor, the curiosity to learn new things on the Wikipedia space led me into SP and I hope to come back a better and matured editor if I eventually get unblocked. I think my input is being missed as regards Nigeria-related topics and I believe with my experience, I can add value to the encyclopedia in general. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 11:44, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Looking at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oluwa2Chainz/Archive, it looks like you've been engaging in sockpuppetry as early as August, 2016, and as recently as October of last year. As such, you essentially aren't eligible for unblock consideration and are probably considered banned, under WP:3X. WP:SO is probably your best hope. That requires six months of zero edits, zero violations of WP:SOCK and WP:EVADE, and then a clear explanation for your long history of violations. You'll need to convince the community that we can trust you again (because you are essentially banned, not blocked) and this will be difficult given your history. Yamla (talk) 11:53, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

FOLU AGOI

Hello Oluwa2Chainz,

I will like to know the reason why you have flagged the new living biography: Folu Agoi I have created. Well, I think the problem with the page is that I have been editing regoriously since yesterday that it was created but with the 7days grace of a new published biography, I don't think you should flag it. I have now provided a least three references for the article.

I am willing to take correction if there is any at all but I find flagging frustrating as you know that gathering data on a living person is not an easy job with Wikipedia specifications.
