== Question from ] (03:28, 15 August 2024) ==

hola necesito publicar un articulo ORCID. pero no se como hacerlo podrás ayudarme? --] (]) 03:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi Oshwah. How are you? About ]: I think checkuser would be helpful because ] looks related to both users. See the timestamps . And the IP user just restored the problematic edits of the blocked user.. {{Ping|El C}} This new account reminds me of those ''"Histor*"'' accounts. Same behavior, same tone. Even this is similar to theirs. Notice how he/she waited for one week and then appeared on SPI case just after Oshwah declined the checkuser. Looks something fishy in my opinion. <b>]</b> <sup>]</sup> 03:50, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

I just moved into a new place, and I'll be without an internet connection for the next few days until they get their butts over here and install it. :-) I know that I've been highly active in ] over the last few months, but I'll be changing my role moving forward and stepping away from SPI. I'll be going back to ] and using the checkuser tool to combat ] sock puppetry and remaining on the front lines. I think that, overall, this is where I need to be in order to help the project. I definitely appreciate the message, and I hope you have a great rest of your day. I'll be back online soon... hopefully.

The user that was vandalizing Kelly Clarkson also is at it on Uglydolls. They messaged me asking why I reverted and I told them but then realized they were sock-puppeting when I noticed two different IPs and that one of the IPs had been blocked (I know two different IPs doesn't always mean sockpuppetry but since one is blocked I assume that is. I let the user know, after I posted to their second page the answer to the question on mine, that they were sock-puppet-ing and to stop. If they continue, here is the other IP, if you need to block it. Though I did warn them so perhaps it will not be necessary. ] ] (]) 01:54, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
:Hi ], and thanks for the message. The issue with IPv6 addresses is that they can frequently change and without the user even knowing it or realizing that it did so. They can change weekly, daily, or even every few minutes depending on the network, environment, the service provider, and other factors. Because one IPv6 is blocked and the user is able to continue their disruption doesn't necessarily mean that they purposefully did anything to evade their block. ] usually involves the creation of more than one ], but users who abuse the project also resort to hopping IP addresses as well. The way to combat the disruption is to block the range. If you see any more disruption from this user, please don't hestiate to let me know (provide each IP address as well so that I can calculate the range) and I'll be happy to step in and take care of the issue. :-) Thanks again for the message, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Thank you for letting my very non-wikipedia style (sleep deprivation induced) rant/vent post stay on the wonderful Oshwah's talk page for this long. It did ward off the definitely ''not good faith'' editor from my talk page.

In a way, I kinda took it for granted. I'm basically cut off from the rest of the world without it. No information. No communication. Nothing. Need to look something up? Want to check your email? Need to see your bank account balance? Nope, nope, and nope. I'm definitely looking forward to having it back, but I also used the time to reflect on what things I could (or should) be doing now that I don't have it at my fingertips as conveniently as I typically do. :-) ]<sup><small><b>] ]</b></small></sup> 13:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


I made the post here after an editor with an older account assumed that because my account was new, they could just throw a bunch of (very incorrect) jargon at me (with a bunch of unrelated shortcut ]) and assert some faux authority, I suppose? Then when I pointed out to them that only this account is new, I've been on this website all my life and their post was redundant, they made some ai text generation accusation (with no links or diffs this time) and warned me about "being cautious" and avoiding Misplaced Pages policy violations. 🤥🤯😖
== 16ConcordeSSC unreformed ==


I figured might just leave this post here that'd show up in my contribs so they know new user accounts have nice, kind and experienced editors helping them out and who definitely would see through that editor's nonsensical disruptive edits.
When ] returned from , he simply resumed his prior behavior, adding unsourced material to the encyclopedia and, on the very rare occasions that he makes an attempt to source, doing it like putting the reference in the article text. There's a CIR problem here involving an inability or refusal to learn how to use our system, causing him to be NOTHERE. Regards, ] (]) 16:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC) PS: Pinging {{Ping|GoneIn60|Grandpallama}}
:Thanks, {{u|TransporterMan}}. I actually dropped a note yesterday a couple sections above. Yes, it is clear to me as well that the actions by this editor (while they may have good intentions), serves as a net disruption that sucks time away from multiple editors to cleanup the mess left in its wake. It becomes a tedious effort, since the unsourced editions often occur in the middle of somewhat helpful punctuation changes and have to be carefully plucked out. The editor also continues to use the "minor edit" label for every edit. --] (]) 17:57, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

== A barnstar for you! ==
:] - Hi there! I'm happy to hear that the issue is resolved. I always want disputes to end peacefully, but (as you very likely already know) that doesn't happen sometimes. If someone is being a '']'' user, they're usually users who end up being blocked for ] or other problems. My recommendation is to ''take the meat and leave the bones''; what I'm saying is that there will often be someone who will try their best to help you, but the way and manner in which they relay this to you might be translated differently or "give a bad vibe". It takes skill and it takes experience to be able to convey your feelings, attitude, message, really your... "voice" ... through text. That's why I say, ''"take the meat and leave the bones"'' in these situations. People might not have a great attitude or they'll come out as outright ''mean'' - but they'll have a helpful message behind their thoughts. If you have any questions or if I can help you with anything, please let me know and I'll be happy to lend you a hand. :-) Best - ]<sup><small><b>] ]</b></small></sup> 19:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': Replying here bacause I kinda forgot about this interaction and failed to follow up after that. Additionally, the talk pages were not added to my watchlist and hence, I wasn't able to follow up. Glad to hear the issue has been settled somehow, but since I am the involved user here, I would like to clarify my points regarding what happened.
:*The user named {{u|AradhanaChatterjee}} !voted ''support'' on the move discussion at ] () without providing any rationale, but with an edit summary ''Too many feelings to write out a more technically correct response - which is kinda what i do if u check my contribs. But the impact of proper nouns in India is something i'll never truly accept. i'm still here tho. so take my silent solidarity as a message before i lash out at the status quo enablers. in dec 2012, this is where i came to find out more information about the case because i'm not fear motivated and my parents for the first time imposed gender roles on me was confusing''. I it AGF within 3 minutes with an edit summary of ''Not exactly the place to show solidarity and support. The discussion is about the change of the title''. The revert was because of the summary and blank support with no rationale (]) on the discussion.
:*Following that, I the level 1 warning template in the user talk, explaining the inappropriate usage of talk page for such edits. Since the account was new and few edits were there, I assumed it's a new account (also from the edit patterns).
:*About an hour later, the user and !voted support on the move proposal.
:*Thereafter, took place. Some of the edits were giving a little LLM vibe and hence I pointed that put too and mentioned ''See ] for more. If not, ignore. Thanks.''
:*One final point I'd like to make is about the ''I've literally had to put my original text to the scary LLM and humanise it. Sad. Kind of like most Indian men even'' comment from them, which I'm still unable to figure out quite as much. I'm not sure if it was a general comment about all Indian men or a ] on me. Nonetheless, I just let them be because last I checked, they went admin shopping and ranting on various talk pages, and giving long edit summaries about me gatekeeping.
:It was never my intention to intimidate or be condescending to them and I apologise if I came out like that. If only they have asked me more for the diffs and permalinks, I'd have happily given them so. They are prolific and highly enthusiastic editor and I hope my behavior haven't caused them any pain or given a reason to quit Misplaced Pages.


:Except on the case of very obvious vandals, I always assume good faith when any editor makes a mistake and try to help them out. I'm sure scores of users who have interacted with me can vouch for that. I have been doing the same for over a decade and never had such a interaction. Anyways, it's on the past and I just wanted to make my side of the story set right before proceeding. Thanks Oshwah. Happy editing yall :) ] (]) 15:46, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

:Hi ], and thank you for taking the time to leave me this barnstar! Like I said above - it means a lot to me to receive barnstars and recognition from other editors, and I appreciate it very much. :-) Some users will probably find this to be disappointing news, but I've decided to step away from ] as a ] and instead focus my role back toward ] and putting a stop to ] activity and abuse on the project. I found myself to be using the tools much too quickly and it resulted in concerns being expressed by editors and members of the ]. I don't want there to be any tension, concerns, or trust issues when it comes to my ability to possess and use the tools - hence the reason behind my decision to take a step back from SPI. I need to slow down and focus in an area that I know that I can use the tools appropriately and to help put a stop to abuse, sock puppetry, and bad-faith disruption on Misplaced Pages. I'll of course be around as I usually am; I'm just changing my role and how I'll be focusing my time with the project. :-) Thanks again for the barnstar and for the kind words, and I hope you have a great rest of your day. :-) Cheers - ]<sup><small><b>] ]</b></small></sup> 07:30, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

== Old edit apology ==
The diff is . Your revert restored the following content:
{{talkquote|* On May 25, 2020, ] died to due to a fentanyl overdose, George Floyd's death occured shortly after he was placed under arrest by ], so his death was erroneously believed to have been caused by Chauvin having placed his knee of Floyd's back for a duration of 10 minutes until paramedics arrived to treat him, as they were called when the fentanyl George had taken was starting to take effect. George's death due to fentanyl sparked global protests, as the erroneous claim that he died due to "lack of oxygen" was unfortunately spread around, before his fentanyl/blood levels were tested.}}
There were other problems in the restored version, as well, but that one jumped out at me.


You probably don't remember this, but I tried to edit a page back in 2019 without adding a source, and when you removed it (obviously) I tried to argue back (here is the link to that discussion: ]).

Just because you made a mistake or didn't do something correctly here doesn't make you a bad editor.

If you're not making your mistakes, you're not learning and growing. Never take a failure as a failure; take them all as learning opportunities. '''You will succeed'''; failure is not a "left-or-right split in the road" where you have to pick which way is the right way to go. It's nearly always one direct path - fail, fail, maybe fail again, and then success. :-) Thanks again for the message.

Hello, I see that you deleted the biography of the new artist article I was working on. I just wanted to let you know that I worked really hard on that trying to find new artist who don't have biographies. I am not misusing Misplaced Pages as a web host but instead using it so other people can find information about their favorite people. I have been using Misplaced Pages for 3 years and with my experience I think its better to have a conversation with someone before deleting their hard work. I will be creating a new article and as trust I am not using my favorite website a host for myself or others. ] (]) 15:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
:I'm sorry that the email you sent was under such circumstances. Regardless, I appreciate the issues being brought to my attention and I plan on honoring it and moving forward with the intention of improving as well as restoring trust. Some users will probably find this to be disappointing news, but (as we discussed) I've decided to step away from SPI as a checkuser and instead focus my role back toward patrolling recent changes and putting a stop to LTA activity and abuse on the project. I found myself to be using the tools much too quickly and it resulted in concerns being expressed by editors and members of the Arbitration Committee. I don't want there to be any tension, concerns, or trust issues when it comes to my ability to possess and use the tools - hence the reason behind my decision to take a step back from SPI. I need to slow down and focus in an area that I know that I can use the tools appropriately and to help put a stop to abuse, sock puppetry, and bad-faith disruption on Misplaced Pages. I'll of course be around as I usually am; I'm just changing my role and how I'll be focusing my time with the project. :-)

Hello. I have contributed to Misplaced Pages anonymously in the past on the subject of food and wine, but recently decided to register as a user and add the titles of two relevant films to a list of movies in the article "BDSM in culture and media." The first title took without problem, but the second resulted in the following error message/warning:
I hate to add more questions to your busy, busy talk page but I have a question about a SPI case, ]. You closed it in July but no check was done to see if there were sockpuppets that needed to be blocked despite pretty good evidence being presented. I was brought into the matter today because I just protected the article that the accused editors have continued to vandalize, by user accounts and by IP accounts. Despite you closing the case, I think it's been reopened and I thought you might want to review it to see if action needed to be taken.

hey man,


The film in question is a 1967 Japanese social satire titled A Fool's Love/Love for an Idiot, based on the novel Naomi by renowned Japanese author Junichiru Tanizaki. Naomi bears a certain resemblance to Lolita, Of Human Bondage and My Fair Lady, about an older man, Joji, who decides to adopt a neglected teenage girl, Naomi, and to eventually mary her when she reaches the age of majority. Joji's plans to transform his diamond-in-the-rough into a sophisticated, westernized girl meet the cold ice water of reality as the supposedly exploited Naomi proves to have a vastly superior social IQ to her "benefactor" and by novel's end she has virtually taken over every aspect of their relationship.

:Hi ]! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! The only concern I have with your question here is in regards to Misplaced Pages's ] and Misplaced Pages's policy that disallows ]. Can you verify that what you're cutting and moving over from your ] is ''written entirely by you'' and in your own words, and that there is absolutely ''no content'' that would cause a ] concern if you were to add it? Even modifying content you've copied straight from an ] into your Word document, and then going through and modifying verbs, key phrases, sentences and content in order to no longer make it an ''exact copy'' - is a ''serious violation'' of ]. That's ], and absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, if everything is original, written entirely by you, and if nothing was copied from the internet first, etc, then yes that's totally fine. I will frequently start an article, policy page, etc by writing it into a simple ] first. When I'm ready to publish it, I'll copy it straight over. I've accidentally exited out while adding a bunch of content to a new page, and the experience is infuriating. The other thing I'd advise is to not use ], but use a ] for this instead. Microsoft Word likes to add additional formatting, code, fonts, etc that you won't see until you copy the document over. Text documents don't do that. ;-) ]<sup><small><b>] ]</b></small></sup> 22:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

== Advice on Editing ==


Hi Oshwah, Hi Oshwah,


Nice to meet you. My primary motivation for registering with Misplaced Pages is to write a page about Leonard Currie who was Colonel of the 133rd New York Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War. The 133rd have a page and Currie is referenced.
I made an edit in the last hour to an article about Mack Bolan, and you removed it because I didn't state a source. I am new to wikipedia and this was my first edit, so I apologise for this. The information I added was that there was a five-part comic book mini-series published in 2008 by IDW Publishing titled "Don Pendleton's The Executioner" - my source is a physical copy of the comic I have in my collection. I have uploaded a photo in this message so that you can see it and approve the source. If this is not a reliable source, please can you advise me as to what counts as a reliable source for this? Would posting the photo on the page help?


I have done some background reading for new users and understand that I should start by editing articles before writing a new page. As I have a significant amount of information with references about the 133rd do you think that it would be appropriate for me to start my editing by adding more detail to the page on the 133rd New York Infantry Regiment?
]


Kind regards - R3NBM

If there are issues with the article that need to be fixed, you're welcome to file an ] on the article's talk page ] and request other users to make changes on your behalf and fix any problems.

There are ] that are set by the community that mandate what articles should be deleted, as well as why. I simply cannot "take down" an article because someone feels that it's inaccurate. That's not how things work here. :-) Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further.

::Hi ], welcome to Misplaced Pages! I always recommend that new users reference and use the ] to assist you with the creation of new articles. It will help you to verify that certain important items are verified and checked before you can proceed (mainly in order to avoid creating an article about a subject that already exists, among other things). I also need to note that it appears that the article subject you wish to create an article about matches the name that you set to be the username of your account. If you are the actual photographer that you're attempting to create an article about, you should know that creating ] (or articles about yourself) is a '''highly discouraged''' behavior that will very likely be unsuccessful and result in the article's deletion. If this is the case, I ''highly recommend'' that you do not waste your time. In nearly ''all cases'' where users try to create an article about themselves, the article ends up being rejected (if created in the draft space), or deleted (if published directly as an article). I'd also recommend that you review Misplaced Pages's guidelines concerning ]. Instead of doing this, I recommend that you contribute and spend your time and efforts toward expanding and improving ''existing articles''. This way, you can gain important experience and hands-on learning and you can work toward becoming proficient at adding quality contributions and content that's referenced by ]. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. :-) Cheers - ]<sup><small><b>] ]</b></small></sup> 16:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

== Disruptive overtagging ==

Hi there! You recently wrote on a topic at ANI that you could help with a user who is engaging in disruptive overtagging from multiple IP addresses. It is still going on, from new IPs all the time, although the user is at least now using edit summaries so it's slightly easier to find. Most recently:
* ] has tagged me and other users in some edit summaries of the overtagging (like and ).
* ] is also adding the same tags, with the same summaries, see and for example. A curious thing that I can't get my head around is that this user (as with previous IP they have used) keeps targetting articles I have recently edited, see and . There are dozens of examples of this from the last few months. As I am specifically engaged in clearing the backlog of articles with too many maintenance tags, this is particularly infuriating.

Now and again the tags are appropriate for the article, but given that they are adding the same 4 tags each time ({cleanup rewrite}, {copyedit}, {more sources needed}, {unreliable sources}), it's rather a question of a stopped clock telling the right time twice a day. I have written on each of these IPs' talk pages (and the previous ones), but there has been no reply, apart from at ANI, which did not result in a change of behaviour. How can we proceed? Any help much appreciated! ] (]) 01:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I believe it was a mistake to remove "white supremacist" from the list of descriptions of Albert Pike.

Let's try and ''remain calm'', okay? :-) The reason that I reverted your edit to the article was because I initially believed the change to be non-constructive. When ] and cleaning up ] and ] from Misplaced Pages articles, I often find that users will add opposite content (such as the word "not") to an article in order to be disruptive. For example, "Kenny did become the third person to win the race." The article's content originally stated that "Women play a vital role in the Jungian interpretation of ''Demian''." Your change modified it, without ] any references or ], to now say that "Women ''do not'' play a vital role, ''but rather are used as feminine symbols'', in the Jungian interpretation of ''Demian''." Please accept my sincere apologies if my initial thoughts were incorrect, but this modification rang as suspicious to me, which is why I reverted the change that you made and left a message on your user talk page regarding the edit.

{{Courtesy link|Trophic cascade}}


Hello, in my activity as a volunteer at a zoo I came across an article in WIkipedia that has outdated information. Detail below. I really don't want to edit the article. Someone with real expertise should do that. Is there a way to encourage that someone by adding a comment to the article?
Second, can you explain what was wrong with the edit I made on ]? It was my first edit and it was on a page that was auto recommended to me. I was attempting to make the headline more clear. Just want to understand the issue so I don't do it again.


Detail: "Trophic Cascade". In more than one place the article presents the "classic", clean and simple picture of a recovery of the Yellowstone ecosystem degraded by excessive herbivory. The recovery is attributed to the reintroduced wolves who prey on the dominant herbivore, elk - top-down trophic cascade. This picture has been questioned for a number of years now in primary research papers as well as news media. The wolf - elk - plants cascade needs to be replaced by human hunters/bears/cougars/wolves - elk - plants. References upon request. --] (]) 20:03, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Recently, I have observed that an extended confirmed user, Psychloppos, seems to have developed an undue focus on this page. Their edits and behaviour appear to reflect personal biases rather than adhering to Misplaced Pages’s standards of neutrality and verifiability. Despite my efforts to improve the page and ensure compliance with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines, I have faced repeated resistance that hinders its ability to present balanced and well-sourced information.
Population: The 2019 estimate was incorrect and is no longer needed as the 2020 population is now available from the US Census. The previous estimate years are regularly removed once the new, updated information is available.


Yesterday, I made updates to the page and plan to select and organise all references within the next two days. However, Psychloppos has continued to add neutrality dispute tags, reinforcing their undue fixation on the page and making it difficult to progress towards an accurate and unbiased article.
Elected Officials: William C. Kortz is no longer in office and was replaced by Nick Pisciottano. Conor Lamb no longer represents this community and it is now represented by Mike Doyle. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 17:28, 13 August 2021 (UTC)</small>

As someone who has followed and admired Randa Kassis since 2010, I am deeply concerned about the potential misrepresentation of her work and contributions. Ensuring the integrity and neutrality of her Misplaced Pages page is essential

Hi,
Okay thanks-below is the link to a reliable source. The U.S.-China Perception Monitor is run by the Carter Center's China Program.


I've encountered an IP who has been been causing some disruption: . I noticed that they are flagging your LTA edit filter #53. See for example: . IP is also related.
Why would you remove an entry without first reaching out to the contributor? That way, the link can just be added instead of making the contributor redo the whole entry. This is just one of the reasons why people hesitate contributing to Wiki...


The IP is quit suspicious, demonstrating behaviours that indicates that they have been around for a while. For example, they were engaged in an edit war at ] with several editors, and within minutes of a RFPP being filed they had to it.

First of all, I was suspicious that the edit might've been ] or ]. I'm sorry for making that assumption, but I hope that you understand that edits like these are going to be suspicious when they're reviewed. :-) The other reason I reverted the edit was because it adds commentary to the article about the character. "Racist" is, if anything, an opinion. We shouldn't be adding what we believe this character is in the book. We should be proving the reader with content that is ], which will allow them to make their own determination. If the content we write makes them conclude that the character is a racist, then great - that's based off of their interpretation from the neutral comment. It's not up to us to be stating that the character is racist. That adds bias, which we need to avoid as much as possible.

Question from ArleneGe (03:28, 15 August 2024)

hola necesito publicar un articulo ORCID. pero no se como hacerlo podrás ayudarme? --ArleneGe (talk) 03:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

ArleneGe - Hi there! What exactly is an ORCID article? Can you elaborate a bit more so I can help you? :-) ~Oshwah~ 20:16, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
https://orcid.org/ Polygnotus (talk) 09:46, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
Polygnotus - Ah, thank you. I was trying to search here for the information thinking that it was something MediaWiki, Misplaced Pages, or WMF-related. ArleneGe - Do you have the URL to the webpage you'd like to cite? I can certainly help you from there once I have it. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:29, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
My Spanish is not great, and they are not very clear, but I think they would like to publish an article on ORCID, and may mistakenly believe that we are (related to) ORCID. Since ORCID is just a database of people and works they can't publish on ORCID; they need to publish elsewhere and then follow these instructions to add their work to ORCID. But I am just guessing.

Top of the morning to you....no worries, I did send an e-mail, but the problem is long solved. It had to do with the sockpuppets plopping up left and right on History of the chair, and is long solved (as much as it can be solved).

Question Thanks so much from AradhanaChatterjee (15:38, 23 August 2024)

Thank you for letting my very non-wikipedia style (sleep deprivation induced) rant/vent post stay on the wonderful Oshwah's talk page for this long. It did ward off the definitely not good faith editor from my talk page.

I made the post here after an editor with an older account assumed that because my account was new, they could just throw a bunch of (very incorrect) jargon at me (with a bunch of unrelated shortcut wikilinks) and assert some faux authority, I suppose? Then when I pointed out to them that only this account is new, I've been on this website all my life and their post was redundant, they made some ai text generation accusation (with no links or diffs this time) and warned me about "being cautious" and avoiding Misplaced Pages policy violations. 🤥🤯😖

I figured might just leave this post here that'd show up in my contribs so they know new user accounts have nice, kind and experienced editors helping them out and who definitely would see through that editor's nonsensical disruptive edits.

Anyway now I'm back to my peaceful copy-editing and adding citations wherever I can editor mode - so I'd be remiss not to edit this post too :) AradhanaChatterjee (talk) 22:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

AradhanaChatterjee - Hi there! I'm happy to hear that the issue is resolved. I always want disputes to end peacefully, but (as you very likely already know) that doesn't happen sometimes. If someone is being a bad faith user, they're usually users who end up being blocked for vandalism or other problems. My recommendation is to take the meat and leave the bones; what I'm saying is that there will often be someone who will try their best to help you, but the way and manner in which they relay this to you might be translated differently or "give a bad vibe". It takes skill and it takes experience to be able to convey your feelings, attitude, message, really your... "voice" ... through text. That's why I say, "take the meat and leave the bones" in these situations. People might not have a great attitude or they'll come out as outright mean - but they'll have a helpful message behind their thoughts. If you have any questions or if I can help you with anything, please let me know and I'll be happy to lend you a hand. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 19:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Replying here bacause I kinda forgot about this interaction and failed to follow up after that. Additionally, the talk pages were not added to my watchlist and hence, I wasn't able to follow up. Glad to hear the issue has been settled somehow, but since I am the involved user here, I would like to clarify my points regarding what happened.
  • The user named AradhanaChatterjee !voted support on the move discussion at Talk:2024 Kolkata rape and murder (permalink) without providing any rationale, but with an edit summary Too many feelings to write out a more technically correct response - which is kinda what i do if u check my contribs. But the impact of proper nouns in India is something i'll never truly accept. i'm still here tho. so take my silent solidarity as a message before i lash out at the status quo enablers. in dec 2012, this is where i came to find out more information about the case because i'm not fear motivated and my parents for the first time imposed gender roles on me was confusing. I reverted it AGF within 3 minutes with an edit summary of Not exactly the place to show solidarity and support. The discussion is about the change of the title. The revert was because of the summary and blank support with no rationale (WP:VOTESTACKING) on the discussion.
  • Following that, I placed the level 1 warning template in the user talk, explaining the inappropriate usage of talk page for such edits. Since the account was new and few edits were there, I assumed it's a new account (also from the edit patterns).
  • About an hour later, the user added a rationale and !voted support on the move proposal.
  • Thereafter, this discussion took place. Some of the edits were giving a little LLM vibe and hence I pointed that put too and mentioned See WP:LLM for more. If not, ignore. Thanks.
  • One final point I'd like to make is about the I've literally had to put my original text to the scary LLM and humanise it. Sad. Kind of like most Indian men even comment from them, which I'm still unable to figure out quite as much. I'm not sure if it was a general comment about all Indian men or a personal attack on me. Nonetheless, I just let them be because last I checked, they went admin shopping and ranting on various talk pages, and giving long edit summaries about me gatekeeping.
It was never my intention to intimidate or be condescending to them and I apologise if I came out like that. If only they have asked me more for the diffs and permalinks, I'd have happily given them so. They are prolific and highly enthusiastic editor and I hope my behavior haven't caused them any pain or given a reason to quit Misplaced Pages.
Except on the case of very obvious vandals, I always assume good faith when any editor makes a mistake and try to help them out. I'm sure scores of users who have interacted with me can vouch for that. I have been doing the same for over a decade and never had such a interaction. Anyways, it's on the past and I just wanted to make my side of the story set right before proceeding. Thanks Oshwah. Happy editing yall :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:46, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
The Herald - Thanks for responding and for adding your input. It sounds like this issue can be put to rest, so I'll leave things be and let you both work things out. However, if I'm needed again, please don't be a stranger. I'm happy to help with anything you need; just leave me a message here. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 17:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Old edit apology

You probably don't remember this, but I tried to edit a page back in 2019 without adding a source, and when you removed it (obviously) I tried to argue back (here is the link to that discussion: User:Oshwah/TalkPageArchives/2019-02#Ohi Day). I wanted to thank you for removing my edit and apologize for arguing back. Have a good day. CristinaK1756 (talk) 19:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi CristinaK1756! I really appreciate your message. No apologies are necessary at all, and I have no qualms, ill-will, or anything at all against you. We were all new here at some point in time. Just because you made a mistake or didn't do something correctly here doesn't make you a bad editor. We learn from failure; I have made WAYYYY more than my fair share of mistakes, including ridiculous stupid ones that had big effects on the site and other contributors. If you're not making your mistakes, you're not learning and growing. Never take a failure as a failure; take them all as learning opportunities. You will succeed; failure is not a "left-or-right split in the road" where you have to pick which way is the right way to go. It's nearly always one direct path - fail, fail, maybe fail again, and then success. :-) Thanks again for the message. It feels good to know that what we're doing is actually making a good difference for others, and that is something I strive for and do so seriously. :-D Best - ~Oshwah~ 19:39, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jermaineqweli (20:08, 4 September 2024)

Hello, pls how can I create a page that talks about me as an artiste? Like my own wiki page that talks about my story as an artiste --Jermaineqweli (talk) 20:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Jermaineqweli - Writing an article about yourself, or writing an autobiography on Misplaced Pages, is a highly discouraged activity. In nearly all cases, users who do this end up finding out that they wasted all their time doing this. If you don't meet the notability guidelines, any article you create about yourself will be deleted. I recommend that you spend your time creating or improving existing articles that interest you. If you are indeed notable, someone will undoubtedly write an article about you. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them and help you. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:52, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Deletion tag

Hello, I see that you deleted the biography of the new artist article I was working on. I just wanted to let you know that I worked really hard on that trying to find new artist who don't have biographies. I am not misusing Misplaced Pages as a web host but instead using it so other people can find information about their favorite people. I have been using Misplaced Pages for 3 years and with my experience I think its better to have a conversation with someone before deleting their hard work. I will be creating a new article and as trust I am not using my favorite website a host for myself or others. Tati02lovee (talk) 15:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from ShenikaSChapman (21:15, 10 September 2024)

Is editing very useful and accurate on the first try? --ShenikaSChapman (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

@ShenikaSChapman (talk page watcher) That depends on how accurate your edit is and how useful. This seems to me to be a question that you knew the answer to already.
As an example, this question of yours was accurate, but, because you knew the answer already and because that answer was in your control, it was not useful to the recipient, and the answer was not useful to you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 21:30, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
ShenikaSChapman - Editing is fine! You're encouraged to be bold and improve pages on Misplaced Pages that need them! If your edits are reverted, simply discuss the issues with the user who did so, and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them. :-) ~Oshwah~ 00:02, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Infowars23! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! We have a page that shows you exactly how to do this. It's very simple, and you'll get used to it very quickly. Just navigate over to Misplaced Pages's page on citing sources for the information that you're looking for. If you have any questions about anything on that page, or if I can assist you with anything else, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 22:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Can I add a fact to a subject? --Break78745 (talk) 23:05, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Break78745! Welcome to Misplaced Pages. You can of course add facts to any article. Just make sure your additions are neutrally-worded, verifiable, and include a citation to a reliable source if the information is not common knowledge. I encourage you to see Misplaced Pages's getting started page as well as complete Misplaced Pages's new user tutorial to get the basic, but very important, concepts down before you venture into editing. Those two pages will save you a lot of time and frustration if you take advantage of both. Please let me know if you run into any questions and I'll be more than happy to help you. :-) Cheers, and have fun! ~Oshwah~ 00:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Cassiopeia - Hey there! Funny story: I actually happened to see this IP light up on my abuse script page like a Christmas tree, and i blocked them right before I saw your request here. It's good (as always) to see you again! Awwww..... you don't read my page notice when editing here? :-( There's a link on there that will take you to a really great tool that does exactly that. ;-) Whelp, now that I wont hear from you any more ever again since there are administrators who are online more often that I am nowadays (thanks for that, adult life....... ugh.....), I'll still tell you that you're welcome to message me here at any time, and that my door is always open to you.

(edit conflict) Cassiopeia -  Done; I'm extending the range block now... Oh yeah, please do. My email is always open to you. Cyber security requires a significant amount of knowledge and a somewhat-heavy pocket full of certifications if you want to be dropped with a nice job offer and take home very very decent pay. There's a lot more to it than what TV shows and movies have most people to believe (as you very much already know). Certificates, encryption, standardizations and best practices, breach, containment, and disaster protocol - I could go on forever. But hey, if you enjoy it, you'll find the good parts of the job fun (but you'll still have a lot of mundane tasks that you have to perform because certifications). Keep me posted! I'd love to see how you advance in this area! :-D ~Oshwah~ 05:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Eaglelizard (08:47, 12 September 2024)

Hello, I am wanting to make my first contribution to a wikipedia article referenced in a blog post circulating on hackernews, https://en.wikipedia.org/Amygdala_hijack

I cannot add a new topic to the "talk" page to suggest adding a warning banner or disclaimer about the information being not based in actual research.

1. Is there something I am missing? 2. What is the best way to go about making an edit like this?

Thanks! --Eaglelizard (talk) 08:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Eaglelizard! Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I just checked the protection level of Talk:Amygdala hijack and verified that the page is not protected or restricted in any way that would prevent you from editing. Are you not seeing the "New Section" tab at the top of the page? That is where you go in order to add a new topic. You might also find Misplaced Pages's new user tutorial useful if you're having issues. Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 15:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Actions on Misplaced Pages wrongly attributed to me.

Hi. I notice in my notifications (bell icon) several references to me that are misattributed. I also received a warning about alleged vandalism I committed in the "Susan Sarandon" page. None of this relates to me. I don't know if using a VPN leads to IP address sharing, which may have caused this mix-up, so I'd like to ask if you would suggest I stop using a VPN and could recommend how I can clear my name. Thanks! Cuatito (talk) 03:17, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Correction: The only action wrongly attributed to me seems to be the claim of vandalism. Cuatito (talk) 03:52, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi Cuatito! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! It sounds like your IP address is shared between multiple people. This is why you're getting these warnings. However, fear not! By creating your account, Cuatito, you've already resolved the issue. Have you continued to see warnings on your account's talk page? It doesn't appear so... :-) ~Oshwah~ 19:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Someone using my IP to edit?

Hello @Oshwah

Hope this message finds you well. Apparently someone has been vandalizing Misplaced Pages articles using my IP address? I genuinely do not know what is going on but I am logged on my user account and messaging to let you know about the issue. The address is 2600:1700:1D6C:2800:55D8:2699:D2E1:40E4.

Best, Kevin9217 (talk) 00:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Kevin9217! I saw the message you left that pinged me. What internet connection are you using? The best way to avoid warnings that don't belong to you is to do what you've already done - create and use an account. Most IP blocks will still allow users to log into their accounts and edit Misplaced Pages without fear of the IP block affecting them. Even if a block is set so they also apply to accounts that are using the IP address, the block just restricts you - it doesn't create any record in your account's block log. I'd say to you to just make sure that you log in before you edit. If the vandalism isn't your doing, you'll have nothing to worry about. ;-) ~Oshwah~ 19:36, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks very much for that reassurance! Cuatito (talk) 01:27, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi mentor. I would like to write an article about myself. How do I do it? --Jokeryoung (talk) 06:34, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jokeryoung! I'll give you the straight-up answer: Don't do it. You're going to end up wasting hours, if not days, worth of time creating an article about yourself - just to find that article deleted. If you're notable, someone else will undoubtedly write an article about you here. Instead, I recommend that you focus on article topics and subjects that interest you.

Question from Banxxy (08:31, 20 September 2024)

Hello. I have contributed to Misplaced Pages anonymously in the past on the subject of food and wine, but recently decided to register as a user and add the titles of two relevant films to a list of movies in the article "BDSM in culture and media." The first title took without problem, but the second resulted in the following error message/warning:

abusefilter-disallowed Your action has triggered an edit filter An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, so it has been disallowed. If this edit is constructive, please report this error. Disruptive behavior may result in being blocked from editing. Report error

The only reason I can surmise for this rejection might be due to the fact that, unlike the first, successful, addition, the second one did not have its own page in Misplaced Pages with which to validate its inclusion, therefor unable to verify it's categorical appropriateness.

The film in question is a 1967 Japanese social satire titled A Fool's Love/Love for an Idiot, based on the novel Naomi by renowned Japanese author Junichiru Tanizaki. Naomi bears a certain resemblance to Lolita, Of Human Bondage and My Fair Lady, about an older man, Joji, who decides to adopt a neglected teenage girl, Naomi, and to eventually mary her when she reaches the age of majority. Joji's plans to transform his diamond-in-the-rough into a sophisticated, westernized girl meet the cold ice water of reality as the supposedly exploited Naomi proves to have a vastly superior social IQ to her "benefactor" and by novel's end she has virtually taken over every aspect of their relationship.

The 1967 adaptation brilliantly transports the setting of mid 1930s Japan to the mid 1960s, with great comedic effect.

If you could possibly explain the Misplaced Pages error I committed here, as I would like to contribute a lot to Misplaced Pages. I take it that the entire selection/rejection process is a function of AI.

Thanks for whatever suggestions you may have. --Banxxy (talk) 08:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Banxxy! Have you created a discussion on this page? Depending on the context and the words you used in your edit, fixing this issue can become difficult. However, it's important to discuss. :-) ~Oshwah~ 20:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Why was I blocked from edits

I was linked to some page about a weird prophet dude I’ve never heard of. There might be a bug in the code. I created a new account as a result, was just using the app for years. Never editing etc. Mj2024aok (talk) 18:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Mj2024aok! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Can you link me to the exact article or page that you're referring to? What were you doing when you were linked to the page? It's possible that you accidentally clicked on a wiki link within the page you were at originally, which would take you to that particular page. It happens; I do it all the time when I'm editing, adding content, or fixing vandalism... ;-) ~Oshwah~ 22:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

September block

You blocked my IP address for vandalism. I am in a perfect storm. I got a new modem and internet service; my new IV6 IP is 2600:1700:8151:2b90:3c0a:fc00:b98:47de. I never edited or even heard of the article you said I vandalized. Then my computer died - I kept all my passwords in it and, right now, they're not retrievable. I couldn't use the password help, because of the block. So I opened a new account. Can you help me? Am I doing the right thing? I can redirect my old account to the new one and would certainly note it on my talk page - i'm just afraid of the seeming over-large block. Boriesailor (talk) 18:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Boriesailor - Your account, as well as the Benetsee account that you mention on your user page - are not blocked. You might've just been caught by an autoblock or were trying to edit Misplaced Pages from an IP range that was hard blocked. No need to redirect anything or transfer anything over; just abandon the account you don't want to keep, and then resume using the original one that you want to use. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 22:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Everything now works - no longer blocked; found my passwords and am doing a couple of edits. I will abandon the editor Boriesailor. Do I have to do anything? Or just let it go? Thanks for responding. Benetsee (talk) 16:39, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Benetsee - Hey, that's great news! I'm glad to hear that all is resolved on your end. Nope, you don't have to do anything special - just stop using the account and pretend it doesn't exist anymore. :-) ~Oshwah~ 22:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Nerlygranada27 on Talk:JET Programme (11:20, 23 September 2024)

Hello, What is in JET PROGRAMME? --Nerlygranada27 (talk) 11:20, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Nerlygranada27! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Did you happen to take a moment to read the article page instead of the talk page you linked me to? It explains (in a nutshell) that it's short for The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme. It's a teaching program sponsored by the Japanese government that brings university graduates to Japan as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs). ;-) Basically, it's made by the government of Japan that encourages, incentivizes, and helps pay graduates from foreign universities to come to Japan and provide instruction at a university in that person's native language. :-) ~Oshwah~ 22:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from NilocSnave (19:29, 26 September 2024)

Hello Oshwar, My project is only two pages in length with no visuals. My first question is can I easily cut and paste from Word? I should say that I have only briefly perused the advice pages, which I will do before I start. I look forward to hearing from you but there's no hurry, Colin --NilocSnave (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi NilocSnave! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! The only concern I have with your question here is in regards to Misplaced Pages's copyright policy and Misplaced Pages's policy that disallows close paraphrasing. Can you verify that what you're cutting and moving over from your Word document is written entirely by you and in your own words, and that there is absolutely no content that would cause a copyright violation concern if you were to add it? Even modifying content you've copied straight from an external site into your Word document, and then going through and modifying verbs, key phrases, sentences and content in order to no longer make it an exact copy - is a serious violation of copyright. That's close paraphrasing, and absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, if everything is original, written entirely by you, and if nothing was copied from the internet first, etc, then yes that's totally fine. I will frequently start an article, policy page, etc by writing it into a simple text file first. When I'm ready to publish it, I'll copy it straight over. I've accidentally exited out while adding a bunch of content to a new page, and the experience is infuriating. The other thing I'd advise is to not use Microsoft Word, but use a text file for this instead. Microsoft Word likes to add additional formatting, code, fonts, etc that you won't see until you copy the document over. Text documents don't do that. ;-) ~Oshwah~ 22:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Dear Oshwar,
Thank you for your detailed response to my query. I can confirm that everything in my text has been written by myself. I was about replace the content that I had posted with longer and better version that was written in Word. Now I will make a text version. This will take me a little time. 19:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

2600:1700::/30

In my opinion, this block is way too wide and affects an entire ISP (AT&T). I don't think this is a WP:T-MOBILE situation, but if you can provide me with any previous discussion about this range, that would be helpful. Have smaller blocks been tried before? I also don't like how you are not responding to questions from new/inexperienced users about the block. wizzito | say hello! 18:32, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Seconded, a /30 of IPv6 address space is not the same as a /30 of IPv4 space. An IPv6 address is 128 bits, so a /30 would be 2^98 hosts. Probably a bit over-broad?
ShadyNorthAmericanIPs (talk) 22:59, 9 October 2024 (UTC) (one of those hosts)
Hi Wizzito, ShadyNorthAmericanIPs! Please accept my apologies for the delay responding to your inquiry about this range block applied. I recently went through... a major life event, and it caused me to have to take a temporary hiatus from editing here so that I could figure things out and get my personal life under control. I see that there have been an extensive number of blocks that've been applied to this range in the past. The range block has expired now, but if you look at the range's user talk page, an appeal was filed but denied by another administrator, as they agreed that it was necessary given the circumstances and level of disruption it was causing. I hate applying such wide range blocks like this, but disruptive editing will (occasionally, definitely not commonly) start appearing from IP addresses that are hopping to others and over its very large range like this. If the severity level and/or volume of vandalism is high enough, applying such a wide block sometimes becomes necessary. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and discuss this further with you. Again, I apologize for the delay responding to your message here. It was absolutely not because I was avoiding and trying to ignore you. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 22:42, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
100% fine - my apologies for assuming. I do agree that sometimes this kind of measure is necessary. wizzito | say hello! 23:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi MarySmithson! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I understand that you're interested in creating a new article. Have you by chance gone through Misplaced Pages's getting started page? A tutorial that I also highly recommend you complete is Misplaced Pages's new user tutorial. It'll provide you with a bunch of very important walkthroughs and guides that will show you how to edit, how to communicate with other users, locate important policies and guidelines, as well as other important guides. After you've done those things, I recommend you navigate to Misplaced Pages's my first article page. It will help you to verify that the topic or article subject is notable, as well as help you perform other important checks before you decide whether or not to proceed. It also will help answer most common questions and discuss the most common issues and pitfalls that new editors will fall into when they attempt to create their first (as well as subsequent - for a little while) article. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and assist you further. Good luck! :-) ~Oshwah~ 01:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi I have my article ready how do I publish it Thank you MarySmithson (talk) 04:38, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi MarySmithson! It's CiaPan (talk) (talk page stalker) here. Oshwah seems absent from Misplaced Pages for some time now, so he may not respond swiftly.
Have you seen WP:YFA which he mentioned above?
If so, and you have also successfuly walked through the first two sections, and you're sure you and the subject both meet requirements described there, please see the section number three: Help:Your first article § Writing your draft. It describes the best ways to start writing Misplaced Pages articles.
As for ″how do I publish it″, the best options are described in the #Where to start writing subsection, with the most preferred being the Misplaced Pages:Article wizard. --CiaPan (talk) 16:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
MarySmithson - Hi there, and welcome back! CiaPan‘s response was exactly what I would’ve stated to help you. Do you have any more questions that we can answer for you? Do you still need assistance? ~Oshwah~ 06:11, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from AthenaBC (14:51, 16 October 2024)

Hello Ixtal

Have a question on interting references. Having used the button under the text box to create the code to intert the URL, and entered it, and saved, can see in the references list below that the citation is only coming up with the URL, but not with the text that's needed before the URL. How do you edit the references list to insert the correct citation needed, so you don't just get a URL link? --AthenaBC (talk) 14:51, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi AthenaBC! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Is there a specific example that you can point me to so that I can show you exactly what to do? :-) ~Oshwah~ 01:28, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Elijahsese (05:43, 17 October 2024)

Hi, Mentor! How i create a wikipedia? --Elijahsese (talk) 05:43, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, new user. When you are talking about a wikipedia, do you mean to create an article? New users who are not 4 days old and have less than 10 edits (non-autoconfirmed users) cannot create new articles in the mainspace, unfortunately. However, there is an article wizard that can allow you to create drafts. Drafts are new articles that can be created and developed for a limited time, and can receive feedback before being moved to the article namespace. I hope my response helps, and happy editing. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 13:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
@Codename Noreste: You probably meant 'non-autoconfimed users' in the parens... -CiaPan (talk) 15:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Now modified. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 15:51, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Codename Noreste - Thank you for assisting this user while I was offline. :-) ~Oshwah~ 01:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Advice on Editing

Hi Oshwah,

Nice to meet you. My primary motivation for registering with Misplaced Pages is to write a page about Leonard Currie who was Colonel of the 133rd New York Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War. The 133rd have a page and Currie is referenced.

I have done some background reading for new users and understand that I should start by editing articles before writing a new page. As I have a significant amount of information with references about the 133rd do you think that it would be appropriate for me to start my editing by adding more detail to the page on the 133rd New York Infantry Regiment?

Kind regards - R3NBM

R3NBM (talk) 12:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Although I'm not Oshwah, you could use the article wizard to create a draft version of the page. Once you're done with it, you could then submit it for review and then others will give feedback on it.
If you want to experiment though, you can create a sandbox to do editing tests (such as seeing how different infoboxes look and such).
Misplaced Pages:A primer for newcomers is also a good resource to use for become familiar with Misplaced Pages.
Best of luck! R0paire-wiki (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you
R3NBM (talk) 16:20, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi R3NBM! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! R0paire-wiki pretty much gave the same response that I would've given; you'll want to use the Article Wizard when creating new articles for awhile (at least until you become familiar and proficient with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines that are relevant to new article creations - such as the notability requirements for article subjects). Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 20:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

October 2024

Heyo, how's it going? I don't know if you'll remember me and I know this is a minor one, but a few years ago we were engaged in a dispute over disclosing personal information on my user page due to my age, and as part of that you reset my page's public view edit history. While I understand and respect your actions, I just wanted to ask if I could have the edit history restored please as I've now come of age? GOLDIEM J (talk) 19:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi GOLDIEM J! Welcome back! I do remember you; it's sure been awhile! I hope you're doing well and that life is treating you kindly. :-) I really do not recommend this (since we, as standard protocol, tell all users to keep any and all personal identifiable information off of Misplaced Pages), but sure - if this is what you really want, I can unhide those revisions if you wish. Since this action will make personal identifiable information public, can you do me a favor and respond to this message confirming that you wish for me to unhide those revisions on your user page? Since this modification will expose personal identifiable information, I want to verify for 100% certain that this is what you'd like me to do. If you have any reservations or hesitation with unhiding any of the information added to your user page, now is the time to let me know. I don't want your information exposed if you have any level of hesitation or uncertainty. In nearly all cases, once personal identifiable information has been added or made public, it's very difficult (if not impossible) to take back later. Even with the content gone and the revisions hidden, the community has a very long memory. Please take some time to think about this, and let me know what your decision is. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 20:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Yes please, I am comfortable with this information being publicly findable.
Just for your peace of mind, I don't intend to readd this information as extensively any time soon, but I thought I'd ask because I wanted to be able to look back on my page's edit history (for nostalgia's sake🤭)
And also, thank you for your help with infoboxes all those years ago, I've definitely got the hang of it now😅 GOLDIEM J (talk) 21:06, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
GOLDIEM J - I'm glad to hear that you've become familiar and proficient with infoboxes. Those are important to learn and understand if your goal is to become experienced with the creation (or expansion) of quality articles. The next step is to make sure that you understand Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines, since any future article subjects that you create a new article about will be required to meet them. :-)
Regarding your request:  Done. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 21:28, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Question from Joao Zero Fernandes (15:01, 25 October 2024)

Olá... Gostaria de publicar uma página sobre o fotógrafo: joao zero --Joao Zero Fernandes (talk) 15:01, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Joao Zero Fernandes, welcome to Misplaced Pages! I always recommend that new users reference and use the new article wizard to assist you with the creation of new articles. It will help you to verify that certain important items are verified and checked before you can proceed (mainly in order to avoid creating an article about a subject that already exists, among other things). I also need to note that it appears that the article subject you wish to create an article about matches the name that you set to be the username of your account. If you are the actual photographer that you're attempting to create an article about, you should know that creating autiobiographies (or articles about yourself) is a highly discouraged behavior that will very likely be unsuccessful and result in the article's deletion. If this is the case, I highly recommend that you do not waste your time. In nearly all cases where users try to create an article about themselves, the article ends up being rejected (if created in the draft space), or deleted (if published directly as an article). I'd also recommend that you review Misplaced Pages's guidelines concerning conflicts of interest. Instead of doing this, I recommend that you contribute and spend your time and efforts toward expanding and improving existing articles. This way, you can gain important experience and hands-on learning and you can work toward becoming proficient at adding quality contributions and content that's referenced by reliable sources. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 16:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Boa tarde,
E então recomendar a alguêm que escreva sobre o fotógrafo joãozero? www.joaozero.com Joao Zero Fernandes (talk) 17:03, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Joao Zero Fernandes - I would need to research and see if this person (likely you, am I correct?) meets Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines before I could consider making any kind of recommendation that you seem to be asking for... Having a website isn't enough... ~Oshwah~ 00:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Good afternoon,
joãozero has been a photographer for over 30 years and has a career described on the website and, for example, is in galleries such as:

Big hug and thank you very much, Joao Zero Fernandes (talk) 15:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Joao Zero Fernandes - A big hug to you back! These look like primary sources (I haven’t looked at the links in-depth); do you have any secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the article subject? ~Oshwah~ 06:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Revision deletion

Hello Oshwah. I understand you're able to handle RevDel requests? Would it be possible to RevDel this change? It includes defamatory content of a living person.

If this isn't the normal process on how to do this, please drop me a line and let me know for future reference. --My Pants Metal (talk) 17:01, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

My Pants Metal -  Done. Next time, you'll want to email me these particular requests, as reporting and requesting RevDel or suppression on revisions here instead of via email makes these requests public and for anyone to see and read. In many instances, this will cause a Streisand effect to occur, as readers will see your request, and then quickly run to view the revision and content before it becomes hidden from them to be able to see. ;-) No worries, though. I happened to be on my user talk page as your message came in, so I was able to take care of it quickly. Just email me next time... :-D Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 17:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
You got it! Will do that next time. Thanks for the speedy response, too! My Pants Metal (talk) 17:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from NilocSnave (19:28, 25 October 2024)

Dear Oshwar, I've written my article but I can't find guidance on the other items needed for it to be complete and visible. Somewhere on Misplaced Pages I've seen direction on the overall structure needed for a complete contribution before it would be accessible.

Colin --NilocSnave (talk) 19:28, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi NilocSnave! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I recommend using Misplaced Pages's article creation wizard to proceed when you believe that the article you wrote is ready. It will make sure that you perform the necessary checks before you proceed to create it. This Misplaced Pages page will also be helpful to you, as it provides you with information on getting started and will provide you with additional Misplaced Pages pages that are important to review and understand.

Special:WantedTemplates

Hi! I have been cleaning up WP:Database reports/Transclusions of non-existent templates and Special:WantedTemplates and I noticed that your javascript page is transcluding Template:Dategroup.date and a few other non-existent templates. Due to a "feature" in the backend software, even though this is a javascript page, the software parses braces and brackets the same to generate links. It would be very helpful if you could add 
 // <nowiki>
to the top of your script page and 
 // </nowiki>
to the bottom of your script page. Because these <nowiki>...</nowiki> are inside of javascript comments, it won't impact the functionality of your script, but it will keep the backend sofware from thinking you are transcluding templates. Thanks in advance for your help! Plastikspork ―Œ 14:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I got a message saying you are my new mentor. It's a privilege to have such an experienced user. My main expertise on the The Troubles in Ireland as well as Great Britain] & Europe. Nice to meet you. Shanegallager (talk) 13:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Shanegallager - It’s good to meet you too! Let me know if you need help with anything and I’ll be happy to lend a hand. ;-) ~Oshwah~ 23:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much I will do. I'm currently creating a Timeline of the The Troubles on mainland Europe (Germany, Netherlands & Belgium), as there are already ones for Timeline of the Troubles in Great Britain Britain and Timeline of the Troubles in the Republic of Ireland the Irish Republic. I think if I finish this all the Timelines relating to The Troubles should be complete.
Thank you again. Shanegallager (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Shanegallager - You bet! :-) ~Oshwah~ 00:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Hey man, I just created a new topic related to The Troubles in Northern Ireland, can you check it out for me & let me know if I need to add anything to it or take anything put, stuff like that? Here's the page link Sanaghanroe landmine attack
I was going to this as my first page I created, as this would complete all the major attacks carried out by the IRA's East Tyrone Brigade, but then I noticed there was no Timeline of the Troubles in Europe like there is for Britain & the Republic of Ireland, and I thought that would be more important to do as 18 people in Europe's mainland lost their lives in the conflict so I created that one first instead.
Thanks very much. Shanegallager (talk) 16:55, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Shanegallager - I apologize greatly for taking so long to respond to you! Life, stress, the holidays - yeah, fun stuff right? ;-) I’m going to take a look at the article; if there are concerns, I’ll let you know. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 06:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi I am Alina. I want to publish an article on wikipedia, can you guide? --Alina Fazal Karim Baigal (talk) 15:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Alina Fazal Karim Baigal! I recommend reviewing Misplaced Pages's getting started page, as well as completing Misplaced Pages's new user tutorial before doing anything. Afterwards, when you're ready, you can navigate here to go through the wizard for new users regarding a new article creation. Please let me know if you need anything else. ;-) ~Oshwah~ 00:37, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah- Thank you for being my mentor. I was wondering how I can change a photo on a wikipage? Please let me know! thank you in advance --Hellokitty2387 (talk) 17:04, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Hellokitty2387! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Misplaced Pages has a manual of style guideline page dedicated entirely to images. You can click here to review it.

Disruptive overtagging

Hi there! You recently wrote on a topic at ANI that you could help with a user who is engaging in disruptive overtagging from multiple IP addresses. It is still going on, from new IPs all the time, although the user is at least now using edit summaries so it's slightly easier to find. Most recently:

  • User:2001:448A:1020:5990:3824:C3C7:253E:8C13 has tagged me and other users in some edit summaries of the overtagging (like so and so).
  • User:36.69.22.237 is also adding the same tags, with the same summaries, see here and here for example. A curious thing that I can't get my head around is that this user (as with previous IP they have used) keeps targetting articles I have recently edited, see here and here. There are dozens of examples of this from the last few months. As I am specifically engaged in clearing the backlog of articles with too many maintenance tags, this is particularly infuriating.

Now and again the tags are appropriate for the article, but given that they are adding the same 4 tags each time ({cleanup rewrite}, {copyedit}, {more sources needed}, {unreliable sources}), it's rather a question of a stopped clock telling the right time twice a day. I have written on each of these IPs' talk pages (and the previous ones), but there has been no reply, apart from at ANI, which did not result in a change of behaviour. How can we proceed? Any help much appreciated! Jdcooper (talk) 01:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jdcooper! I apologize for not being able to review and respond to your message sooner. I've been busy as of late, and I'm just now catching up with all of the messages, emails, pings, requests, etc that I received here. It looks like these IP users have not edited since the end of October, so I'm going to hold off on applying any blocks or taking any action for now. If they resume their disruption, or if you see additional users doing the same, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I'll be happy to put the kibosh to it. ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 00:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
There have been a couple of IPs resuming the indiscriminate Please anyone here to fixing this articles until it got more neutral and encyclopedic tone and more reliable sources tagging this week:

Timeline of the Troubles in Europe

Hi, new mentor, I created this topic sort of as a companion piece to the Timeline of the Troubles in Great Britain and Timeline of the Troubles in the Republic of Ireland. I thought The Troubles in Europe deserved their own topic. Timeline of the Troubles in Europe - What do you think mate? Shanegallager (talk) 20:31, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Shanegallager - Hi there, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I gave the page a quick look-through, and overall, everything seems to look great. I would recommend, however, moving the references listed under the "Sources" section at the very end of the page, removing that section, and combining those references to be listed under the "References" section. If you have questions about that or if you need assistance, let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you. :-) ~Oshwah~ 00:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

how can I improve the lipstick goby article? --ChromeAndy (talk) 08:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

@ChromeAndy: Hi, it's CiaPan (talk) (talk page stalker) here. As a very first thing I would convert the subsection titles from '''''<big>Title</big>''''' into == Title == form. --CiaPan (talk) 09:02, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi ChromeAndy, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! As a member of the community, I want to make sure that you feel welcome, and to let you know that my user talk page (here) is absolutely open to you. You're always welcome to come here and ask me for help at any time. :-)
CiaPan is correct in regards to the formatting of section headers on the article. I'd also encourage you to focus on expanding the article with information that is supported by reliable sources. Misplaced Pages's editing policy also has a lot of information to help you with article expansion. If this page becomes too overbearing, I'd start with Misplaced Pages's getting started page. I also would highly recommend that you complete Misplaced Pages's new user tutorial. All of these resources and pages will provide you with the information and the assistance that you're looking for, as well as provide additional things, such as tutorials, links to important policies, walkthroughs, and guides to help you gain experience here as a member of the community. If you have any more questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to help. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~ 02:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from A person of sorts (18:09, 9 November 2024)

Good morning-

So I have created four articles on wikipedia. However, only one of them has appeared in google searches. Is there something I did wrong in my creation of these articles? --A person of sorts (talk) 18:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi A person of sorts! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Looking at your logs, it appears that most of your article creations are currently drafts. Draft articles are not indexed by Google until they are approved and moved to become an actual article. At that point, Google will likely index it. If you have any more questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 02:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi Oshwah-
I was referring to Mountainair Middle/High School, Gateway Christian School, and Widman Talavera.
Are these articles drafts? I don't think so but I'm not entirely sure A person of sorts (talk) 03:56, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
A person of sorts - No. Those are published to the mainspace as articles. I took a look through your page creations, saw that a couple of them were the creation of draft pages, and thought that this was the reason for your confusion; my apologies for being incorrect. Depending on the content, article subject, and other factors - it will take time for Google to index the information on the articles that you created (assuming they even index them at all), and present it in the search results on their main search engine. We have no control over if, how, when, or exactly what information is indexed by Google. My advice to you is to just remain patient and let things work themselves out on their own. :-) If you have any more questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 04:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
No issues, I appreciate the response! A person of sorts (talk) 04:47, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Editor(s) adding unsourced content

There is an anon or anons who appear to be using multiple IPs adding unsourced content, to articles. Most of the IPs geolocate to Montreal and one nearby. Meat? Some edits just add categories which mostly are not supported by the article. Some add the names of artists influenced to articles such as Cultural impact of Beyoncé. Interestingly, Trainsskyscrapers (talk · contribs) restored the anon's edit with references (I think). 69.158.123.230 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a good example of these edits. I started putting together a list of IPs User:Adakiko/sandbox. I'm getting overwhelmed. Any suggestions? Cheers Adakiko (talk) 10:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Adakiko - Have you created a report on Misplaced Pages's sockpuppetry investigations page? If not, I would absolutely do so if you feel that you have sufficient evidence to link these users/networks to being controlled by one person. It's okay if you end up being wrong; we'd rather have someone raise a concern for it to end up being nothing, than (for some reason) you not say anything and have it end up being a case of abuse. Navigate to that page, begin a report by following the directions supplied there, and supply a detailed evidence and as much evidence as you can provide. Refer to this section of Misplaced Pages's sockpupetry page, as well as this essay page for help with finding evidence. If you need any more assistance from me, let me know and I'll be happy to lend a hand. ;-) ~Oshwah~ 02:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Query on NOEDIT tag

Hello, I am rather new to the scene and has completed one article (Syed Nizamuddin Bin Sayed Khassim). I have plans to write other articles but the fact that my article doesn't show up on search engines due to the presence of "NOEDIT" &/or "DISALLOW" tags, which I've no idea how to remove - I am not sure if I have the motivation to proceed with other articles in the pipeline. Danielbrooke.ox (talk) 06:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Notability/references question

Dear Mentor, I need some help understanding the errors that I'm making in editing the references to my article Milenko Prvacki as they are all reliable sources treating in depth the subject of my article and emphasizing their significance in their field and their notability (as per Misplaced Pages's guidelines). I would really appreciate your input before I make another draft submission. Thanks in advance! Museumsearch (talk) 04:00, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Museumsearch! Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thanks for leaving me a message here with your request for help. I apologize for taking so long to respond to you. The US Thanksgiving holiday, coupled with me getting sick twice - is why it took so long. :-/ None of the references you added show any technical errors; I think your issue is with the fact that they may not be reliable, secondary, or independent of the article subject.

Hi there. I noticed that way back you made an edit at T&T Supermarket. Would you have a moment to look at that article? I believe the article is infested with COI accounts.

Question from Tuoichen (20:03, 24 November 2024)

 Courtesy link: Trophic cascade

Hello, in my activity as a volunteer at a zoo I came across an article in WIkipedia that has outdated information. Detail below. I really don't want to edit the article. Someone with real expertise should do that. Is there a way to encourage that someone by adding a comment to the article?

Detail: "Trophic Cascade". In more than one place the article presents the "classic", clean and simple picture of a recovery of the Yellowstone ecosystem degraded by excessive herbivory. The recovery is attributed to the reintroduced wolves who prey on the dominant herbivore, elk - top-down trophic cascade. This picture has been questioned for a number of years now in primary research papers as well as news media. The wolf - elk - plants cascade needs to be replaced by human hunters/bears/cougars/wolves - elk - plants. References upon request. --Tuoichen (talk) 20:03, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Tuoichen, it's CiaPan (talk page stalker) here. One of Five Pillars of Misplaced Pages is "Misplaced Pages is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute". This means you can edit, too. Just Be bold and add relevant info to the article. Do not be afraid of making some mistake – it can always be fixed. If you do that somewhat wrong, someone will certainly repair it. Anyway, if you really hesitate to edit Misplaced Pages article directly, you may add an Edit requests to the article's talk page.
Oh, and one more thing: Welcome to Misplaced Pages! And happy editing --CiaPan (talk) 07:07, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the encouragement, CiaPan. I'll see when and if I can find the time for a credible edit. I am now and for the foreseeable future on overload... Tuoichen (talk) 17:07, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi UZZELpzc and welcome to Misplaced Pages! It sounds like you're trying to create an article about a person. Since you're brand new to Misplaced Pages, I highly recommend that you go through Misplaced Pages's getting started page and that you complete Misplaced Pages's new user tutorial before you make any edits or take on any major tasks around here. Those tutorial pages will provide you with many important walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will familiarize you with our policies and guidelines, how Misplaced Pages works, how to navigate around the site, and how to find important locations and pages. Most users who take this advice, read through those pages, and complete the new user tutorial usually tell me later that they were significantly helpful to them, and saved them hours of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise.

Question regarding Misplaced Pages policy

In conducting a dispute on another editor's contribution, is it appropriate to first revert the contribution and then begin a talk to get consensus to restore it? Or is it correct to instead tag the content in the article as disputed and then begun a dispute in the article's talk page? I have gotten conflicting answers to this when consulting the relevant articles (WP:TALKDONTREVERT, WP:STONEWALLING) and asking others on the topic and would appreciate your insight! Sxbbetyy (talk) 06:33, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I took some time and read about the disagreement concerning your insertion. I appreciate you might actually be on the right side of the issue (the fundraiser being a stunt, not about making a positive change in the environment), but on the wrong side of policy (nobody in media is doing this calculation like you are, or you'd have mountains of reliable sources to back this up). There's something about WP:Righting great wrongs here. That's not the business Misplaced Pages is in. We're in the business of reporting what reliable sources say about the subject. If you can find multiple RS to back up your inference (that the financing efforts were inadequate by orders of magnitude), I think you'll find support for such insertion. BusterD (talk) 06:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your insight on that topic, however I'm not asking Oshwah about that here (and do disagree that the calculation used is WP:OR, as it fits the criteria of WP:2+2=4 and cites a verifiable source). I only wish to seek an answer to the message I posted here earlier today. If you wish to discuss that other topic I suggest taking it to the relevant talk page and I'd be more than happy to engage with that there. Sxbbetyy (talk) 11:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi Sxbbetyy! I apologize for the extreme delay with responding to your questions here. The holidays had me sick, injured, spending time with family, the whole shebang... :-) I don't think that WP:2+2=4 applies to this situation, since we're not talking about routine calculations or arithmetic. We're talking about what reads to me as an opinion. The thing you must do is remember that the onus or burden of proof is on the user who is adding or inserting content to support the content with a reliable source. Whether or not removing such content is appropriate first before starting a discussion on the article's talk page really depends on exactly what the content is. If, for example, we're talking about a BLP issue - then yes, absolutely do that. Otherwise, it may start an editing war... use your best judgment. :-) Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else. I'd also like to thank Sxbbetyy for responding while I was away. :-) ~Oshwah~ 20:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, well ...and Hi!

Maybe this come-back is not massive in size (yet!), but it's really impressive in speed!

Oshwah, 10th of Dec

Glad to see you back. May the happiness be with you! --CiaPan (talk) 09:00, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

CiaPan - Gracias! I was sick, injured, seeing family... it's good to be back. :-) ~Oshwah~ 20:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Oshwah! I hope you keep collecting memories and smiling to them. Happy – and healthy! – New Year for you and all around you. --CiaPan (talk) 20:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk page archiving failure

It looks like your talk page stopped to migrate to archives about mid-August 2024. --CiaPan (talk) 09:52, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Nevermind. You do archiving manually, and the last such action has been Diff/1252757979 which actually took the August threads to archives. There was no archiving since, so it's nothing wrong with empty Sept/Oct archive pages. Happy editing! --CiaPan (talk) 12:56, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

CiaPan - No worries, mate! :-D ~Oshwah~ 20:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Pattersonuwu (16:05, 10 December 2024)

Hi, I wanted to create a wikipedia page for the game TETR.IO, but my “Under construction” template was reverted back to the redirect it once was. I was still working on the page when that happened, why would this happen? --Pattersonuwu (talk) 16:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Genxjono (18:18, 14 December 2024)

As a content creator with over a million followers, one of my #1 Google searches that always comes up is "genxjono Misplaced Pages." So based on the exception for notable people I created one sitting under drafts. Would you be able to assist in getting it published? Edit further to facilitate that it is impartial and unbiased? It's posted by me as John Kotrides draft --Genxjono (talk) 18:18, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Genxjono: Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! In order for an article to be created about an online content creator, they must meet at least one of the following criteria:
  1. They have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. (WP:BASIC)
  2. The person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. (WP:ENT#2)
This is assuming that the creator is not also known for something else (e.g. Neil deGrasse Tyson is better known for his academic and science communication work than his online podcast).
I have assessed your draft, and it appears that you have not fully established that you meet these criteria. This is because it is not adequately supported by reliable sources. I also suggest that you read the advice at Misplaced Pages:Autobiography before continuing. JJPMaster (she/they) 22:14, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Filmwizardtx (02:00, 16 December 2024)

Hi Filmwizardtx! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! You can review the list of reliable sites and sources by visiting this page. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you. Again, welcome! :-) ~Oshwah~ 01:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Request for Assistance with the Randa Kassis Misplaced Pages Page

Dear Oshwah, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Hazar, and I am reaching out to request your assistance regarding the Misplaced Pages page for Randa Kassis.

Recently, I have observed that an extended confirmed user, Psychloppos, seems to have developed an undue focus on this page. Their edits and behaviour appear to reflect personal biases rather than adhering to Misplaced Pages’s standards of neutrality and verifiability. Despite my efforts to improve the page and ensure compliance with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines, I have faced repeated resistance that hinders its ability to present balanced and well-sourced information.

Yesterday, I made updates to the page and plan to select and organise all references within the next two days. However, Psychloppos has continued to add neutrality dispute tags, reinforcing their undue fixation on the page and making it difficult to progress towards an accurate and unbiased article.

As someone who has followed and admired Randa Kassis since 2010, I am deeply concerned about the potential misrepresentation of her work and contributions. Ensuring the integrity and neutrality of her Misplaced Pages page is essential Thank you 🙏 HS (talk) 23:57, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Potential LTA IP

Hi,

I've encountered an IP who has been been causing some disruption: range. I noticed that they are flagging your LTA edit filter #53. See for example: . This IP is also related.

The IP is quit suspicious, demonstrating behaviours that indicates that they have been around for a while. For example, they were engaged in an edit war at Major League Soccer with several editors, and within minutes of a RFPP being filed they had responded to it.

Other problematic behaviour includes edit warring to add content to Premier Ultimate League, based on a random tweet from an account with 60 followers, speculating about the potential for a future team: .

I've tried to dig into the history, and have found a few IP clusters that I think might be related (ie and ) due to overlapping interests in "Sports in XXX" articles (ie Sports in Portland, Oregon), as well as oddballs like Major League Quadball. However, I've not had any success determining if there is a master.

I'm wondering if there are any details available from your LTA filter to pinpoint who the master might be, or is it just calibrated to flag general LTA behaviour?

Thanks. TDL (talk) 06:54, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Aikam Janda (06:07, 9 January 2025)

I was going to publish an edit to an article about a school (Sullivan heights secondary) but when I went to publish it it said there was a conflict error and it undid my whole document when I went to source editing and I cant redo it. Is there a way to get the edit I was going to publish back? --Aikam Janda (talk) 06:08, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
