69.179.107.71: I am NOT vandalizing

• Persona and reception of Roman Reigns (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Redirected pages should not be included in categories. Especially not 2 that redirect to the exact same place. And that Roman article is so whiny and is NOT needed. I gave a reason. Wrestlers get heat, it's their job. We dont need a whiny article talking about how everyone hates Roman, we get enough of that on wrestling forums and comment sections. I blanked it because I dont know how to nominate a page for deletion. 69.179.107.71 (talk) 21:32, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

See WP:INCOMPATIBLE, redirects of that type certainly can be in categories. As for blanking a page because you 1) don't like it, and 2) don't know how to nominate it for deletion; what you did was not acceptable and absolutely not how things are done in Wikipedia.

Wwe brawl

Hi Murph9000, I just wanted to let you know that I have declined your speedy deletion request of Wwe brawl because the previous deletion was via speedy and not a deletion discussion. This is excluded from the G4 criteria - This criterion also does not cover content...that was deleted via proposed deletion or speedy deletion. Sarahj2107 (talk) 09:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

@Sarahj2107: Ok, but are you sure about that? WWE Brawl (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (uppercase) was recently deleted under G4 based on the old Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WWE Brawl (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Shortly after that was deleted, the same user created Wwe brawl (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (lowercase). I.e. I'm asserting possible G4 based on the other article with near identical name, and not based on the earlier deletions of this article. If you are certain it does not apply, that's fair enough, it just seemed like there was a reasonable chance that it would qualify if both recent creations were highly similar. Obviously, I can't see the deleted versions, so that's entirely your discretion. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 10:09, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realise WWE Brawl existed. The lack of capitalisation should have been a red flag. I've deleted this now and the user responsible has been indefed so hopefully we won't get any more recreations, but if you notice any let me know and I can look at protecting the pages. Sarahj2107 (talk) 10:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

@Sarahj2107: Thanks, and no problem. FYI, I've just created Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wwe90000000, as I spotted possible socking around this. I'm not asking you to get involved in the SPI, unless you want to, just to let you know it's there. Murph9000 (talk) 10:23, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Multiple reverts

• Simson Garfinkel (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I'm not trying to bite your head off here, but please be careful and check to make sure that the revision you're reverting has not been done already. Thank you. :) Gunnerfreak from Puzzle Pirates : Talk to me 13:25, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

@SnivyFan1995: Yeah, sorry about that. It's partly an issue with Twinkle's interface, and partly a brief brain-burp from me. Your revert left some serious BLP issues[1] remaining from the IPs before the one you reverted. I was looking at longer diffs to find a clean version and used the Twinkle rollback buttons on the right instead of the left. Fortunately, I'm in the habit of analysing diffs after most reverts, so caught it. Murph9000 (talk) 13:28, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that from the remaining reverts, so no worries! :) As you can probably see from my contributions, I'm new here; but I'm not new to using MediaWiki, what with the experience I have on a game-related wiki. Again, thank you for covering the other issues I missed. Gunnerfreak from Puzzle Pirates : Talk to me 13:40, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Off-topic talk page messages and talk page archiving

• Talk:Main Page (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Thank you for the quick fix of my mistake by reverting — Can i ask a new question related to main page again ? (Jkioooo (talk) 13:46, 25 April 2017 (UTC))

@Jkioooo: If your question is narrowly specific to editorial issues around the content of the Main Page (and not some other page or unrelated to content), you can ask it there. If it is not directly related to the main page itself, you should not ask it there. The top of Talk:Main Page has some links to other places where questions may be asked. If it is off-topic, it may be removed again in the interests of not distracting from the intended purpose of that talk page. See also Wikipedia:New contributors' help page. Although not an issue with your previous edits, please be aware of WP:NOTFORUM. Murph9000 (talk) 14:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I know Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines , like this Please provide me "Wikipedia achieved page guidelines" . {Jkioooo (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2017 (UTC)}

@Jkioooo: I don't have a page for that (it may or may not exist), but it's really quite simple. Don't edit the archives in any way, other than in very narrow and exceptional circumstances. Experienced editors do occasionally edit them for a variety of narrowly scoped and specific reasons (don't ask me to enumerate all of them, as it's complex and needs very careful case-by-case judgement applied). New or inexperienced editors should generally not be editing them, or attempting to police the editing of them. Knowing when it's ok to do something other than read the archives is really one of those things which comes with experience. Murph9000 (talk) 14:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanq for your excellent reply (Jkioooo (talk) 14:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC))

Robert Dorsay entry reverted

• Robert Dorsay (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Robert Dorsay is the German film industry's most famous victims of the Nazis. Overheard making a joke about Hitler while in a restaurant, he was arrested, tried and beheaded on October 29, 1943.

When I noticed that the wikipedia entry in English didn't provide this central fact of his life (although you can read all about in the German entry), so I added it.

And now I find you deleted it when you could have easily confirmed it yourself. For example, Volkrat Stampa: Robert Dorsay - Es ging um sein Leben (Sujet-Verlag, Bremen 2016). I can see deleting something where internal evidence suggests something is off, but when it's a straight-forward instance of historical fact (i.e., beheaded by the Nazis), you really ought to try using your computer. You will forgive my tone of annoyance.

cordially, Michael J Lewis

I'd IAR their username/COI, as the account is verified on the German Wikipedia, which allows official accounts of companies/organizations so long as they do not edit promotionally. Technically it's a violation of our WP:ISU, but it'd be a pain to explain that the different language Wikipedias having different rules means that a perfectly acceptable username on the German Wikipedia isn't allowed here. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 15:45, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

@Ks0stm: Yeah, fine by me, and not unreasonable. I opted for just the talk page coi-username, rather than WP:UAA, as it's not the typical commercial promo stuff. Of all the COI users, an old and respectable university should be the least likely to be problematic (I'd hope). I suggest maybe a signed {{Mbox}} at the top of their their talk page or something, as an admin seal of exceptional approval, to avoid future issues. Murph9000 (talk) 15:52, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, the first edit was clearly not with the intention of constructively collaborating to create an encyclopaedia, in addition to being a blatant violation of the WP:BLP policy. The attack page, frankly I don't buy that. I actually pretty much WP:DGAF about the attack page, but it still is what it is in terms of Wikipedia policy. Murph9000 (talk) 00:12, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi I just wanted to say thanks for being understanding. I like to look around Wikipedia pages for quality of life edits like that comma, so thanks for keeping it there. I agree with that placement. Dud190 (talk) 18:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Dud190: No problem. The small edits can be just as worthwhile, we just need to be particularly careful with commas. The subtle placement of them can be a fine art sometimes, and can significantly change the meaning. If you've not read it before, MOS:COMMA has some interesting and worthwhile discussion and advice.

AIV

• Lawrence Page (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
• Alphabet Inc. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hey man, I'm sorry if I came off a little blunt. Edits that really don't require a warning before reporting to AIV are users that just spam "PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS" and such - Obvious vandals. There's almost always somewhere else for every other category. Be it WP:SPI, WP:ANI, WP:ANEW, or even WP:RFPP. Consider AIV to be akin to dialing 911. It's an emergency that needs someone to step in right this second to stop. SQL^{Query me!} 05:04, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

@SQL: Well, I thought the extreme trolling in the form of impersonating one of the tech industry's most notable names, combined with inserting obvious WP:CB (totally unsourced (discounting the fake source in one of the edits), and easy to verify as false as well) into the company's page rose to that level. It's also WP:BLPREMOVE. I've dealt with this particular trolling before, from an IP editor, and took the time to double check facts behind the absurd looking edits. I do agree with AIV being for the obvious cases only. We have different interpretations of this particular case, and that's ok, my "success" rate at AIV is pretty good, so I'm content to be "wrong" in this case (even if I don't honestly believe I'm wrong). I'm not going to get into an argument over a troll, if I can avoid it, so I'll question the judgement call once but no more than that. Stepping back from it is the correct and pragmatic thing for me to do, to avoid any silly conflict. On the chance my judgement actually is off about the case, it lets someone else make the calls I was making. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 05:29, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Hopefully the point I was trying to make was understood, I don't care about your success rate or anything else outside of protecting the encyclopedia. AIV is for emergencies requiring immediate admin assistance. I disagree that this case - although someone did EVENTUALLY block the user - was an emergency requiring a no-warning block, and did waste several people's time. Until we meet again, I suppose. SQL^{Query me!} 05:47, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

@SQL: Yes, the point is well taken, and your comments noted. Where there's reasonable doubt I typically do go through warnings, for the purpose of eliminating that doubt. The point about success rate is that I rarely see denied as a response to my reports there, so usually someone agrees with my call. I certainly have no interest in pushing any of the big red buttons where there are not clearly justified. Happy editing. Murph9000 (talk) 05:55, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

It's amusing...

...that even though your reversion was oversighted (as a follow-on to oversighting the edit you reverted) I can still send 'thanks' for it. :) Jeh (talk) 12:20, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jeh: Yeah. I guess from your comment on the SPI, you saw the diff before it was suppressed. In case you didn't, it probably wasn't all that severe (not that severity entered into my decision to revert and request suppression), but was not appropriate or useful for an article talk page and certainly had zero editorial value for the article content. I'm pretty sure my edit summary was just "WP:OUTING" on the end of the usual TW revert summary, so not entirely sure why that was also suppressed, but also not bothered that it was. Murph9000 (talk) 12:34, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

I'll take care of my own talk page, thanks. But I appreciate the gesture of support. Jeh (talk) 10:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jeh: Sure, not a problem. I saw you'd already reverted that particular message, so it was different to a new message (into harassment territory), but I'm quite happy to let you deal with all cases which don't cross one of the serious hard limits. Happy editing. Murph9000 (talk) 10:45, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry that yet another good editor (you) had to spend time on this LTA... but the ruling we got at ANI may well be worth it. So, thanks for getting involved! See my last comment there. Jeh (talk) 13:29, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jeh: Thanks, and it's no real bother for me to deal with them (I just can't directly put a hard barrier in their way). I don't know what the real longer term answer is for this case, but it has a slightly bigger spotlight directed at it than usual, so something may come of that. The official LTA process is mostly just cataloguing and documentation, I don't know that it would make much difference here (but I'm not opposed to it, if the combined wisdom thinks it's worth it). In some ways, the status quo is not so bad, as it's fairly easily identifiable. It would still be nice if the disruption went away, of course. Today's glitch in the process was mostly due to RFPP being backlogged / slow at present, which certainly isn't always the case. It's not completely unusual for RFPP to be having a bad day, but I've also had quite a few recent positive experiences with it in terms of response time. I threw a couple of question-suggestions at the SPI case page, so we can see what the admin wisdom thinks of them. Murph9000 (talk) 14:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Requesting a protected page

Hello Murph9000! I made a request here Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection#Net_neutrality. I noticed that you had made some posts on that page, and I wanted to ask and make sure I was filling out the request in a correct way (It's the first time I have put in a protected page request, so I'm not sure on the etiquette) --Popcrate (talk) 07:49, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

@Popcrate: Yeah, you got the technical bits of it right. The request rationale seems reasonable enough as well. I won't predict whether the admins will protect or decline, that can be a quite subtle choice for preemptive protection. Your concerns seem valid, it's just a question of whether the combination of recent history on the article and the current significance of the topic convinces them. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 08:31, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

I think you are right about the recent edit history (also this might possibly be TOO preemptive). Either way, thanks for the response. Now I know how to request :) --Popcrate (talk) 09:23, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Authority control

Dear Murph

I am sorry that I could not get in contact with you sooner. There have been things going on in my real life and I do not always have access to the internet. I have obsessive–compulsive disorder and sometimes, when I get stressed out over things, I have a tendency to obsessive, repetitious activity. The placing of a single wikitemplate, going through multiple categories, is a perfect example of that. I try to channel this into constructive behavior, which was in fact what I thought I was doing, but it appears that this only creates more problems for others at a different end of wikipedia. For this I sincerely apologize. I knew that it was constructive when new boxes appeared at the end of articles. I figured that if I left it on pages and they turned out blank, they would just appear once some one at wikidata filled in the appropriate profile. I do not know how to find out if an article will end up having a template appear at the end or not, nor have I figured out how to create wikidata profiles for pages that end up turning out blank. For now on, I will immediately delete an ac template if it turns out to be blank.

The explanation makes all the difference and changes it from questionable (even potentially malicious), to quite reasonable and constructive. So, thanks for explaining, and I've removed it again. I've replaced my original welcome message on your talk page with one which has a bit more information in it, which should help you find your way around a bit better. Thanks.

Short-term protection of your talk page

12 hours to stop this nonsense. Favonian (talk) 18:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

...or unprotect, let them revert again after being clearly warned, and block for WP:9000RR TimothyJosephWood 18:06, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

@Favonian: Thanks. For the record, it wasn't bothering me all that much, but I'm fine with a short semi-protection. Murph9000 (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Some stroopwafels for you!

for delivering me the courtesy of helpful advice so I may prosper and grow as an editor of wikis. 🐦Do☭torWho42 (⭐) 17:13, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

@Murph9000: for what it's worth, I tried making the most of the wide range of welcoming templates here.-🐦Do☭torWho42 (⭐) 05:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

What do you mean

Doesn't allow many images for the characters, Censoring inappropriate words, and Put delete template in inappropriate file like in Man page. Music Video 123 (talk) 01:25, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Music Video 123: Could you please supply some context for that. I don't know what you are referring to. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 01:28, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Music Video 123: It looks like you may have been replying to my comment at User talk:Zzuuzz#Swearing alert. Regarding "censoring inappropriate", please see WP:NOTCENSORED (as I mentioned in my reply to you on Zzuuzz's talk page regarding the Seven dirty words article). Wikipedia does not censor content, so those words are not inappropriate within the context of that article. The nude images on Man are also not inappropriate. See also Wikipedia:General disclaimer, we will not censor content even if some of those words or images are illegal in some countries. Please do not attempt to censor any Wikipedia content, particularly the types identified above; any attempts at censorship will likely be reverted as unconstructive. You can ask me any reasonable questions about that, if it's not clear or you are unsure. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 01:48, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Murph9000: What about non-free images such as official artworks? Music Video 123 (talk) 09:45, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Censoring it is considered vandalism? Music Video 123 (talk) 12:14, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks again

Hey, did you ever get around to checking out my page cataloguing my welcome edits? I was going to update it when I got home (I couldn't from work and don't really edit on my phone). Primefac (talk · contribs) was suggesting I forgo welcome templates altogether after I gave a bot a Template:Cookie (this was intended as a cheeky joke re: giving a computer an Internet cookie). Tigraan (talk · contribs) was kind enough to assume good faith, but I was curious what your input was as I always appreciate what you have to say, especially in regards to continually improving my contributions on behalf of the Welcome Commitee. Look forward to hearing from you!-🐦Do☭torWho42 (⭐) 07:27, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:Mohammed shaif

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User talk:Mohammed shaif, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — fortunavelut luna 15:08, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Dangit Murph. Are you going around making promotional articles in other user's talk pages again? Good thing FIM caught wind of your dastardly deeds. TimothyJosephWood 15:12, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Heh I wish they'd spam us with free Murphy's  :) thanks for the nod, TJW, adjusted the page accordingly. — fortunavelut luna 15:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Just a quick question

Hello, so I had a message from you with the rules and a welcome in order to start editing wikipedia, and so I thought it would be most appropriate to ask you a question I had. So I was wondering how people find topics to write articles about that are more noteworthy and more deserving of good article status etc. The articles that I seem to create and find openings to write about always seem to be smaller and end up as stub-class or start-class.

Clarification regarding use of vandalism label & commit revert

Hi Murph9000,

Will you clarify what about my edit (or edits, as you seemed to imply that my other contributions might be considered vandalism) you consider to be vandalism? The links you provided were interesting but didn't provide a clear answer to my question of why, assuming good faith, you might consider the edits to be vandalism. For reference, I'm speaking of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/782250921

Thanks! FallingOutsideTheNormalMoralConstraints (talk) 23:28, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Proper procedure for major change

Hi Murph9000,

I would like to propose some major edits to the Model United Nations page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_United_Nations), including scraping Section 9, which is constantly being vandalized and used for self-promotion. Should I simply go ahead and make those edits and publish them? Would this be flagged as vandalism? What's the proper procedure to make such a major edit?

Thanks in advance! VirmireResolved (talk) 07:51, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.
