	Hey there!
			Do you mind upping your protection to EC? One editor is already over AC and the other is only a couple edits away. ] (]) 21:01, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
	So recently, I had my edit reverted by a user who constantly reverts my edits and is quite rude about it. I forgot about the rule of waiting until a season premieres to make cast updates but I also added a table because there are so many cast changes on Bunk'd that I believed it would be beneficial. There are many Misplaced Pages pages that utilize this setup and I was only trying to do what I thought may be right. Reverting my edit and putting "No" as the reason is quite rude and I do not appreciate that user constantly doing that to me. I get it about the cast changes and not adding the new cast, but a table that is used for shows with such large cast turnovers? Plus, that took me a while to create and I just wanted to contribute. The user is Amaury. We are all editors on here and I know there are certain protocols that I may have forgotten but being civil and nice about things goes a long way.

	You clicked on a link to edit a page on Misplaced Pages, either to edit its text or to create a new article. You cannot (currently) do this because you are blocked. If you only want to read Misplaced Pages you are not missing anything.

	User not logged in: if you are not using a user account and you receive this message, your external IP address has been blocked. An IP address is a number that identifies your computer on the Internet. '''Yours''' is '''158.69.234.201'''. If there are problems with anonymous users, such as in the case of vandalism, their IP address is sometimes blocked. This is not necessarily meant personally. Many people share their IP address with other users. This is almost certainly the case if you are connected to the Internet through a school or company. Unwanted edits by someone else can unfortunately be the reason that you don't have editing rights now. It is also possible that your IP address has been blocked because you want to perform edits in Misplaced Pages via a mobile internet connection. Mobile networks assign dynamic IP addresses that are blocked from anonymous operations by default for security reasons.
	Solution: Some blocks are imposed for a short period of time. Look in the log until when the block is running. There you can also see which type of blocking has been imposed. If you see the entry only anonymous, then you will have editing rights if you log in as a registered user. If you also see the entry Create account blocked, then you cannot create an account via your current internet connection. However, if this last entry is not there, you can simply create a user account. Information about other solutions can be found on the Solutions for blocked users page.
	Registered user: Your user account may be blocked. If you don't know why you have been blocked, please check your talk page. You may find an explanation there. You can also continue to edit your talk page during a block and you can ask questions about the reason for the block; unless you have been explicitly denied this opportunity.
	For further questions, please contact the e-mail team of the Dutch Misplaced Pages. If you are a registered user, please also include a link to your user page.<br>] ] 06:24, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

	When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
			I am optimistic and look forward to your favorable reply.
	Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on ] to help.

			== Your denial of my page protection increase requests ==
	== Bot reports at ANI ==
			I requested page protection increases for ] and ] due to disruptive editing and you denied them with the justification that there hasn't been enough of said activity. So exactly how many times does this anonymous user have to keep adding deleted content for it to be "enough"? Since your refusal they've done it a third time; so I need to wait for the fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Genuinely sorry if this comes off as a bit blunt, but I hope you can understand that I'm feeling quite frustrated. Their most recent edit on the MUIP page had an edit summary of "THAT'S ENOUGH STOP THAT NOW !!!" - directed at me, obviously. No rebuttal of my reasoning - just a demand for me to stop.
	We often cross paths reviewing bot reports at ANI. I notice that you often decline reports noting that you've warned the editor, but it's often the case the editor has already received many warnings prior to yours. With the case of ], for example, they received 5 times and about 14 times, but still proceeded with attempting to vandalize. Are you assuming that if their talk pages are red they they haven't been warned? Some admins won't block if the talk page is red, which I get, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the warning process that's built into the abuse filter. -- ]<sup>]</sup> 19:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
	::{{replyto|Ponyo}} No, I was not, since of course I've never gotten blocked by the filter myself. I will take that into consideration in the future.

	::::BTW, how do we know which of those warnings the user has received from the software?

			== Oscar bait ==
	] &#124; ] 10:22, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
			Hi @]. I wanted to reach out and ask something about a page you were the main contributor on, ]. I ] about whether the ] section was necessary, because I think it represents ] and also reads as trivia without being informative of what is considered "Oscar bait". For instance, there are films considered "Oscar bait" that did manage to get Oscar nominations/wins, i.e. '']'', '']'', but the list only focuses on shutouts. Furthermore, any film that had a degree of Oscar buzz but got shutout will be referred to as "Oscar bait" by entertainment websites, listicles, or content mills; does that justify their inclusion in the article? I should also note that the editor who contributed that list has a history of ], , and ]. The other contributor has a similar history of ].
	== Told bot to take report to ANEW ==
			My suggestion is that the list be removed. The films listed are obviously similar to the films covered on the podcast ''This Had Oscar Buzz'' ( to episode list). Heck, 14 of the films listed under the 2000s are early ''THOB'' episodes. I think including a citation for the ''THOB'' podcast in the article would suffice and would also give credit to the podcast for identifying the type of films discussed in the article. Thanks. ] (]) 18:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
	Hey! I noticed that you responded to a bot report at ] telling the bot to take the report to ANEW. May I ask why you used that template instead of just saying it was a false positive or something else? I'm only asking because, well, it's a bot. It can't take the report to ANEW unless the bot operator temporarily uses the account to do so. ― ]]<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze&nbsp;Wolf#6545</sub> 18:50, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

			:I didn't start the article but I added enough to it to get it to DYK ... to me, it's complementary to ]; you'll see the links from that article. That list, however, I didn't add, as you note, and frankly I've sort of tolerated it being there only because no one has ever raised this objection. And if it had been totally up to me (which, of course, ]) I wouldn't have added it.
			:Your point is, well, on point. As noted in the article's criticism section, "Oscar bait" is too loosely thrown around to really be a defining characteristic of a film, other than it being released in the last couple of months of the year with name actors, a big budget and some sort of "Important" subject or theme. I mean, do we call low-budget edgy indie films with unknowns "Sundance bait"? (of course not, since most of us outside of ] only see them ''after'' the bait, so to speak, has been taken). It is often just a way to disparage a film with those characteristics someone doesn't like for whatever reason.
			:And, as noted, the amount of Oscar nominations given out is limited, even now, so it's inevitable that a lot more films that might be seen as Oscar-worthy in some way will not get any notice. You probably have a better chance at getting a major party's presidential nomination.
			:Now, that might make a better stand-alone list, as might a lot of the sort of stand-alone film-related listicles floating around the Internet that could be Misplaced Pages lists as the sourcing for many entries is good enough.

I'm curious; I thought that was really really rare (mostly AT&T Mobility addresses which are easy to recognize).

	:::::Because that would be no different than blocking ''all'' IPv4 addresses preemptively. The block is for the individual who is disrupting, and a block of a single IPv6 address is rarely effective, which is why many admins block the /64 which, in the majority of cases, is allocated to that single individual. As with all admin actions, you can choose how you want to use the buttons, but blocking a single IPv6 outside of the instances noted at ] is rarely effective at curbing the disruptive behaviour you're trying to prevent.

	* ''':''''' Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.''

	The last paragraph under the subtopic Through Editing says:
	"Be bold, but not rash. Whether changes come through editing or through discussion, the encyclopedia is best improved through collaboration and consensus, not through combat and capitulation. '''Repeated reversions are contrary to Misplaced Pages policy under edit warring, except for specific policy-based material and for reversions of vandalism. This is true even if editors are using edit summaries to "discuss" the dispute every time they revert'''."
	::The exceptions here for BLP are in cases of vandalism or added content without citations, none of which I'm culpable for. Clearly the user violated the 3R rule. You said in your judgement that the edit warring stopped two days ago and that's true. But it only stopped because I, the complainant, chose not to tow the path of edit warring and 3R violation, following Misplaced Pages rules. The other editor clearly violated that rule
			== Page protection request(s) ==
	Again in the same concensus article, under the subtopic Through Discussion whic says:
	'''"....Keep in mind, however, that administrators are primarily concerned with policy and editor behavior and will not decide content issues authoritatively. They may block editors for behaviors that interfere with the consensus process (such as edit-warring, abuse of multiple accounts, or a lack of civility).'''"
	::He keeps talking about the content of the article, which though important, isn't the primary basis on which Misplaced Pages administrators make judgement for conflicts. Rather judgement is drawn from violating Misplaced Pages policy which he did by violating the 3R rule and removing cited content as regards BPL violations.

			I recently requested page protection for ] at ]. First off, thank you for taking the time to review my request. However, I am confused by your response. I requested this page to be protected because this seems to be a case of sock puppetry. There is in fact more than one IP user involved. But you responded, saying, "User(s) blocked: 88.97.197.0/24 blocked by Ponyo." But there is another IP user that started performing the same disruptive edit after the first IP user was blocked. That IP user is 88.97.194.94, and they haven't been blocked yet, despite this being a clear case of a sock evading a block. That's why I requested page protection; just blocking them isn't going to stop this. Temporary page protection would stop this. Just looking at the article's edit history shows that they may continue to do this if the page doesn't get protected. I would appreciate your thoughts and possible solutions so I and other editors don't have to go back and forth with this potential sock puppet. Thank you. ] (]) 06:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

			:I'm sorry ... you came across as if you were suggesting that maybe we shouldn't be allowing so many anniversary-themed hooks. Since I've done a ''lot'' of them without anyone suggesting this, I was a little taken aback, much as I'm also a little surprised that people are so focused on the idea of a "quirky" yet to me unclear hook when, when I started doing DYKs ''years'' ago we generally rejected that idea outside of April 1.
	== Sun June 26: ] ==
			:I mean, I can see you as having had a point re this particular anniversary date in that not a lot of people may remember that event to begin with (but no one ever applied that criterion before, either, to any nominated hook of mine, to my recollection). ] (]) 18:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
			::That was a previous point: you'd asked "But then what's the point of running it on the anniversary?" if we aren't mentioning the anniversary. I was simply answering: we often do exactly that if it's not important to the reader understanding the hook. I don't know where you got the idea I was suggesting we shouldn't do so many. Although usually if the subject is interesting at all, there's something more interesting to say about it than that it happened exactly X years ago today.
			::But that wasn't what I was asking about w/re you called my "sniffiness".
			::I'd said about the 'fact that never changes' rule:
			::{{xt|The rule is a bit nitpicky, IMO. It might have happened two years ago 'today' all day in the US, but much of the time it's appearing, the local date is not Sept 30. Meh. People watching the BBC in the am in the US and hearing the anchor mention an incident had happened 'early this afternoon' are able to understand. But that's been the interpretation of the rule. Valereee (talk) 9:05 am, Yesterday (UTC−4)Reply}}
			::You responded to my post later, apparently referring back to that, with:
			::{{xt|I think if "quirky" is what we want, and based on your sniffiness about mentioning "today" in the hook at all above, let's just stick with Roy's idea of the catchphrase alone.}}
			::I wasn't applying the rule. I was explaining it and saying I thought it was nitpicky and unnecessary to interpret it that way, but that was the interpretation. And you called this my "sniffiness". Which surprised me a bit. ] (]) 18:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
			:::Again, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used that word. But it was meant to apply to the earlier comment that I took as implying we don't run, or shouldn't be running, so many anniversary-related hooks rather than the wording calling attention to that fact.
			:::And I think, really, that being leery of "on this day" on the grounds that it ''won't'' be, or have been, that exact day for everyone reading is overly restrictive in a modern media environment that blurs the boundaries of a date for everyone in the world paying attention to it. Yes, there ''are'' places where the 9/11 attacks took place technically in the early hours of 9/12, but even if that had been some much less deadly, less remembered incident, I think any hook calling attention to its anniversary would have been understood by people living in those Pacific islands near the International Date Line both then and now.
			:::I mean, right next to DYK we have a subsection of the Main Page ''named'' On This Day, after all. And just how many FAs have we run, or plan to run, on the Main Page timed to a specific anniversary?
			:::I was also unaware there ever has been any rule that anniversary hooks automatically mention the date; I just think it's an obvious thing to do if you want to generate a little extra interest in the article, and encourages people to create those articles in due time. In the past when hooks I've nominated have not been able to run by a date I would have liked them to, I have just rewritten the dates out.
			:::When you say "''Although usually if the subject is interesting at all, there's something more interesting to say about it than that it happened exactly X years ago today''", it still reads the same way to me, and as if you're trying to deflect. I don't think I've ever read, much less written, a hook that ''just'' mentioned the anniversary date ... if I saw one at ], I'd be the first to comment that it was a dull hook since ''every'' event has anniversaries. To me that "X years ago today" is a little sauce on the dish, on your ''real'' hook, to get more people to click the link than otherwise would.
			:::Since I do a ''lot'' of anniversary-related DYKs, please understand that although you may not have meant it that way, I ''do'' nevertheless in the absence of clearer wording feel remarks like those you have made are overly dismissive of what I have done as a longtime DYK contributor. ] (]) 19:26, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

			::::I don't know where you're getting the idea I don't think we should ever call out anniversaries. I called one out for ]. MLK holed up there two weeks before he was assassinated, I asked for the hook to run on the anniversary of the date he stayed there.

To for requiring citations (while to explain, when how holidng other editors to that requirement falls under the definition of "bullying"), 2 to claim that (a False Either/Or statement, when in fact, policy reflects consesus, as it explicitly states , and as I pointed out to him and his allies , to no response), and 3. to argue that who support these policy violations with him. This is not a valid rationale for violating them, as none of those other editors have provided any responses to my debunking of their falsehoods or fallacies, repeatedly employing different evasions ( ), and even attempting, in Kvng's case, to , which earned him from another admin not to do this.

	:::To reiterate what I said in previous discussions linked above, we do not know that material is "good" or "verifiable", nor do we know that the editors violating policy have "topic knowledge". We only have the '''say-so''' of Johnuniq and his allies that they do, with no way to verify this, which is why ] says that personal knowledge or experience is not the standard for inclusion on Misplaced Pages. There is no way for a reader who comes to an article to know, at a casual glance, which editor added which piece of information, much less anything about that editor, which is why Misplaced Pages places the point of ] on the cited source, and '''not''' the editor's knowledge. I said this repeatedly to Johnuniq on multiple talk pages, and he did not respond to explain why he felt this was incorrect, or even that it ''was'' incorrect. I also asked Johnuniq and other editors who employed vague euphemisms like these by what objective criterion can the editing community determine material to be "probably good", or "potentially good" on three separate occasions (, and on Jimbo Wales' tp), and they all refused to respond. Presumably this is because there is not only no way to gauge such a thing, but because they know that ] prohibits judging material by this criterion, and that if they concede that, then this entire argument falls apart. ] (]) 01:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

			Hi Daniel, I notice that you have put a contentious topics notice on ]. The famous singer is an Australian national with Vietnamese ancestry. The article violated BLP policies from the first edit from a banned user on 14 Aug 2022, which incorrectly referred to her as a "Vietnamese rapper". Some poorly written music articles have repeated his misinformation, stating the singer was born in Vietnam. Those articles are now used as 'reliable' sources to perpetuate lies about her, that have reached Vietnamese nationalist activists. It has puts the innocent singer as a target of online harassment, as reported by the BBC https://www.bbc.com/vietnamese/articles/c97l38yr67zo (and elsewhere) which states the apolitical singer is believed to have betrayed Vietnam. Having looked carefully into the matter, can you help me understand the administrator support, including banning users, for the perpetuation of false information which began and continues on Misplaced Pages in violation of its BLP policies. Why is an Australian-born singer with Vietnamese ethnicity so contentious? ] (]) 16:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
	== User:Raymarcbadz ==
			:See ]. Nationality and ethnicity ''really'' seem to ]. We've had to even protect some articles about ''food''s (like the ever-popular ], which we've had to protect indefinitely over whether it's Indian or South Asian). Last year I had to indefinitely semi-protect ] as a contentious BLP when I reviewed the history and saw that for ''years'' edit-warring had gone on over whether she's English (where she grew up and sounds like she came from) or Irish (where she was born, where her parents are from and what her name would lead you to believe).
	I can count 8! separate reverts (partial or full) from this user on the ] page. Can you please explain to me how this doesn't violate 3RR? Thank you in advance. ] (]) 21:11, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
			:It sounds like the issues you raise regarding sources might be best addressed at ]. ] (]) 19:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
			::Misplaced Pages editors are not able to access the nationality of ], so any opinion on nationality violates the BLP policy. At a minimum, the administrative function is to remove information that violates the policy. Information that is contentious should be presumed to violate the policy until any uncertainty is dealt with.
	:In the last 24 hours (after the page had not been edited in over a month, and minimally since March), I counted these large removals of content:
			::There is no evidence that Misplaced Pages editors are aware of Vietnamese nationalism they inflamed by writing up their personal impressions or copying fan sites. Your notice appears to confirm the BLP policy is being violated, where removal becomes compulsory. Steps to tackle edit-warring must be subordinate to the BLP policy because that may endanger or defame people, which you correctly pointed out in the first line. The singer is at risk in Vietnam (as reported by the BBC) because of Misplaced Pages falsely implying someone is subject to Vietnamese law, including sedition.
	:*
			::According to the BLP policy in conjunction your contentious topic notice, the contentious biographic material must be removed, and anyone restoring that material should be restricted from doing so. With BLP satisfied, editors can then proceed to find a reliable source (perhaps via the BLPN) that is not a mere recycling of the original Misplaced Pages unsourced presumption from 2022. Is this understanding correct? ] (]) 20:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
	:*
			:::Well, you are correct that we—like most people—can't look into the data bases governments maintain of who is and isn't a citizen. We can, of course, cite a person's statements about their own citizenship or preferred nationality if they are seen as reliable enough about themselves. There are other places from which reasonable inferences can be drawn—we decided that since ] is able to vote in U.S. elections and give money to candidates, she is a U.S. citizen.

			:::Can you tell me which unreliable sources are being used to support the notion that she has Vietnamese citizenship? (It doesn't appear presently that the article makes that claim).

	:Now perhaps buried in are some reverts (none of the edits are marked as such in the history). If I had gone through the intervening edits piecemeal, I might still be doing it. I usually take it on good faith that someone editing that way after being reverted ''in toto'' is trying to amend their edits and make them acceptable to those who did the reverting. It seems you and other editors still did not agree and asked him to take it to talk.
			::::To confirm, the article infobox claim is: '''Nationality''' = Vietnamese Australian] ''< !- As per consensus at talk page, maintain Vietnamese–Australian nationality as per ] guidelines >''. That would be to not implement BLP, which requires immediate removal. However in this case, the novice editor was banned for BLP, even though the reverting/complaining editor posted sources that were unreliable and inconsistent (step 6 in timeline). Add that the newsworthy aspect in the source was online harassment by political nationalists for what Misplaced Pages was claiming. I provide the following summary in timeline format:

A guy with username Vedant Katyayan has been trying very hard to misguide and manipulate the page. He has deleted all the facts about the origin, evolution, warriors and events in their lives under the disguise of "POV Push" whereas the fact is that he is trying to whitewash with his POV. This is personally very derogatory and since I have less edits on wiki, I feel helpless. You had cleared the matter by restoring previous version and setting up editing lock but he has bounced back as an editor with more than 500 edits and thus deleting back. I confronted to him on his talk and he finally limited himself to saying that just because page numbers of the reference books were not mentioned therefore he termed it all false. this is unjustified.

Again and again he declares works of renowned historians as Unreliable sources. He has zero knowledge about the topic and is treating it as sacrilege. He did something similar with CHARANS as well but they could protect their page by imposing restrictions. I sincerely urge you to revert the page to the last edit that I made and elevate the restriction. I believe it will protect the dignity and decorum of the page and WP both from such people. I assure you in all my senses that the information on the article and mentioned sources are more than reliable, they are written by senior historians. I can accept that specific page numbers are not mentioned and I can certainly provide that but this should not be the basis to manipulate the identity of the community, which this user has done. A martial community with history dating back to more than thousands of years is not worth of a couple of lines that he has left the page with.

	Hi Daniel Case, I noticed your revert ... would you be willing to undo your revert, since the change I made doesn't conflict with the MOS link you included, and avoids the ] errors that are currently appearing for the impacted references.
			Dear @],
			I am impressed with your expertise in Wiki editing so I hope for a neutral look at the stalemate between editors on the ] page, which you've protected from public editing. As one critic from ] described it, this film "became … the subject of mass protests outside the venue (of the festivals) by supporters of Ukraine believing it to be mere propaganda (none of whom had seen the film), and even members of Trudeau’s government excoriating the festival for playing the film at all <ref name =“RogEb”>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/festivals/tiff-2024-a-canadian-perspective-on-this-years-festival-of-festivals?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaa0oC4tDjslWpzi-Ji0KzEhUu2h-4Bz6RkdnDb4PHnwBveweIY-HEs1yok_aem_YOEARl0D83Ad2infpprI9A|title=TIFF 2024: A Canadian Perspective on This Year’s Festival-of-festivals|publisher=Roger Ebert}}</ref>. The film was screened only in Venice, twice at ] under strict security and in Winsor since Ukrainian protests suppressed its public screening at other festivals. None of the Misplaced Pages editors who call it "propaganda" (], Stoptheprop, ]) have seen it – they don’t deny it. These three editors constantly ignore helpful and well-sourced suggestions from other editors, even though some of these editors saw the film and spoke to reviewers from the media.
			I was one of the few lucky people who watched the film. After reviewing its reception in media, I compiled a comprehensive and well-structured page for this film (with 87 sources and with sections according to other Wiki pages on films). The current version is outdated, doesn't include recent festivals-related events and has only 47 sources. If you investigate this matter, please, please compare my version of the page at ] with the current version ]. My previous versions are all in the history of edits of the Talk page of ]; they are used by other editors to verify sources and propose new versions. So naturally, there is similarity between pieces submitted by various editors. The majority of editors working on this page are not extended editors, so we had to ask extended editors, such as ] and ], to change something on the page. The ] made several attempts to post my version of the page but ], who mainly edited the matter related to Ukraine and so does not have neutrality position here, constantly reverts the changes made by other editor ]. So I saw at least four loops of posting texts taken from my version by ] and reversing the changes by ], back and forth, back and forth. Using their superiority in this situation, ] adds references from people who admittedly haven't seen the film but ignores 40 sources that I proposed to be mentioned on the page. Now the page remains badly outdated, and the matter of Release at the festivals, description of the film, and Reception, i.e. the classically separate section in the film's description - all mixed up in one soup right from the introduction of the page. Please have a look.
	I've been working to get the huge backlog in that category down (it's down to 300-something from about 10,000 a year ago). = ] ] 16:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
			To underline: all my sources are Western media specialists and Western journalists, so they are neutral in terms of ] issue, whereas all three editors (], Stoptheprop, ]) vandalizing the proposed edits show a pro-Ukrainian uninformed (haven't seen the film) bias. I am sympathetic with Ukrainians fighting Russian aggression but here they simply react to the noise without knowing what this is about, throwing the baby with the water. Anti-war films shouldn’t be edited by the sides that are involved in the war, as both sides will scream “propaganda”.
	:{{done}} Well, I wish you'd explained that it was a technical issue in the template. And it really strikes me that the long-term solution is to fix whatever causes the error rather than make the text comply. ] (]) 04:43, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
			I, therefore, kindly ask you to compare the two versions of the page and to intervene, letting Western journalists be heard, as part of the "Reception" section of this film's wiki page.

			:::Thank you for clarifying the BLP policy application in this context. I appreciate your guidance on looking into this matter.
			:::Given that BLP no longer applies, I would like to raise additional points '''some in which were related to the previous RFCs outcomes''' that may justify reviewing the inclusion of these allegations or rumours:
			:::'''Weak and Speculative Sources:''' the sources used to support these allegations appear to lack credibility or rely on speculation, as they are primarily rumor-based or come from less authoritative outlets. According to Misplaced Pages’s policies, sources need to be both reliable and independent, especially for contentious claims. <u>Regardless of whether these claims are sourced, rumors—without robust evidence—remain unsubstantiated and can detract from the article’s quality.</u>
			:::<sub>Source number based on assumptions. Source number based on the claims of only three people, not to mention that one of them has been arrested in 1994. Source number based on believes. Source number quoted from a book and the book writer quoted from "Graham Diaries" but none of the Diaries published by Oxford University Press contain the quote, which conclude that Tony Molesworth actually perhaps didn’t mention anything regarding Qaboos private life.</sub>
			:::'''Lack of Significance to the Subject's Legacy:''' These allegations <u>don’t seem to add substantial value</u> or relevance to the overall article. Readers are unlikely to gain meaningful insight from unproven claims that lack significance to the individual’s contributions or public image. Misplaced Pages’s policies emphasizes giving appropriate weight to content, and I believe the article might benefit from excluding material that doesn’t contribute substantively.
			:::'''Cultural Context and Sensitivity:''' It’s important to consider the cultural implications of LGBT-related content, especially given that this individual is from an Arab country <u>where such topics are often highly sensitive or legally restricted</u>.

	:I got here from the DeSantis mention on the fringe noticeboard and was really shocked to see this from an administrator.

A lot of editors who may not be familiar with our policies on deadnaming and misgendering have repeated various transphobic messages by Nancy Mace at this new article ]. I just submitted the page for Arbitration enforcement at RPP ] if you have a moment, unless another admin gets there first and did a roundhouse of various instances of misgendering in the article, but it might be hard to track down all the edits that created them for RD, so hopefully just adding the arbitration enforcement makes it clear to users not to repeat them again. ] (]) 05:14, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
			::::::::::::I was sort of hoping the article was going to be deleted—that would have solved a lot of problems. Doesn't look like it now, though.
			::::::::::::Because one of those problems is that GENDERID is, as written, strictly applicable to what ''we'' say in ]. I do not think it applies to quoting other people misgendering the person in question when it's clearly attributed to those people. There are other ways of dealing with that in the article—I would think most of those examples just aren't necessary, and might better be dealt with more generally.
			::::::::::::Also, arguably, it's POV to paraphrase someone's statements as "misgendering" Rep.-elect McBride. You and I and quite a few others would see it that way, but Marjorie Taylor Greene, for one, would not. We could perhaps be better just stating that more factually and neutrally, with something like "Rep. Greene and others used male pronouns in reference to McBride".
			::::::::::::And in the long (perhaps not so long) run we should find some way of addressing the issue of quoted misgendering in policy. Because, yes, leaving quotes untouched opens the door to the kind of ] like this in an attempt to bypass GENDERID. ] (]) 05:49, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
			:::::::::::::That's a fair point, for the most part I just removed those quotes as they were really not necessary as you also said to make the point of the article.

			I think it's been since George Santos went to Washington since we've crossed paths. I'm asking you about my minor problem since I think you might be the only person with the proper background. I've been placing most of ROY KLOTZ's pics for a dozen years now - from back when he was an octogenarian - and haven't really had any problems. Maybe a few pix in Bergen County with the same name (different addresses), a covered bridge in Ohio where everything was known except the name and location, and the worst case - my favorite pic of his got lost somehow. It was him and his family in front of a long washed out Peruvian railroad with a school bus converted into a trolley car ready to take them straight down the mountain. Six months after I posted it the whole article disappeared without a trace! But, hey! no problem --- 999 done out of a thousand is pretty good in most leagues.
	== possible impersonation ==
			This one is a bit different though. The Electric City Building in Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pa was listed on the NRHP (I thought it was a long time ago!), but there's not even an article on it yet. There's lots of pix at . For the small pic at the county NRHP list I thought I'd concentrate on the big sign up top as being the most striking part. But in either the building or the sign category, there are some other good pix, e.g. from ] and myself. I finally decided that Highsmith's was too dark for the small space on the list, and therefore selected mine. I hate to tell Roy that I thought my pic was better than his. Could you go to the category and objectively pick the best pic for the spot?

Based on this diff: , At this point, Adakiko has asked the user to talk on the talk page of the article, and then the user reverts his edit without providing any comment. I believe this edit falls under section 4 of ], and in turn, falls under a violation of vandalism and counts as an exception in ]. I believe because of this, Adakiko's ban can be proved invalid.

	I saw that you imposed a 72 hr edit block on me for ]. I have not been to ANI in I believe ~2 yrs. As a new editor I was there 2-3X but never subject to any sanctions. What both confuses and disturbs me here is that I was never afforded an opportunity to defend or answer for myself. This contrasts with my understanding and past experiences that before sanctions are imposed an editor is either warned directly by an admin or if at ANI given a reasonable opportunity to answer-here in less than 3 hrs I was sanctioned and the thread already gone. I am not trying to abuse the system by coming straight to your talk page, I read the appeal process/req that I post on my talk but I am lost as to how to ground an appeal seeing as I was never given any chance to respond to the accusations made in the first place, no discussion ever took place, leaving me having to essentially disprove a negative. I once again do not want to breach procedure by attempting to end run the system bringing my case to your talk page but I also don't know what else to do given the summary decision made.
			Hi, it is regarding another of the LTA I discussed . As usual, they have been using t/p as forums, modifies other peoples' quotes, boldface and apparently has a fixation with the word howler . talk page has been turned into a forum by various IP socks of this person as well as others, some of which were moved into a collapsed into 'off-topic debate'. - ] (]) 12:44, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
	As an editor I have always considered ANI a last resort in a dispute as it can create unnecessary tension and wastes the time of editors and admins alike. However due to the dishonest and harrassing activity of the editor who reported me today I was the closest I have ever been to filing a report. I understand if you took the report against me on its face it may be understandable to conclude I engaged in sanctionable editing however their report-and I apologize for this tone but once again I was never given any chance to respond-includes a mix of misrepresentations and outright lies. I have been actively editing that page for almost 2 weeks and made ~15 edits most of which were significant. The other editor linked to only 4 and relies entirely on their own false claim as to what my edits actually contained/takes changes out of context-or were simply never made. The links went past edits but without mentioning I made immediate follow up edits, often minutes that included substantive changes-though they pretended these never occurred. My edit summaries-as they neglected to mention, noted the fact the other editor would make an edit where they deleted context from sentences as well as citations and immediately thereafter made an additional much larger edit where they deleted significant content justifying it in their edit summary based on defects they had just created. In correcting this, rather than go tediously thru multiple lines and paragraphs I reverted their prior edits in total and proceeded to make follow up edits to ensure my revert did not alter any edits that were valid.
			==Userbox==
	Other specific charges they made against me were not out of context but were outright lies. I do not say this without self awareness, but I need to be straight forward as them getting away with this is an extreme abuse of the system. Their report concludes with them questioning me on cherry picked quotes/edit summaries that they claim were wrong, confusing or unclear and make a malicious mockery of the truth saying they're "not a mind reader"-what they're is a liar, even discounting follow up changes at no point ever did I delete or do anything for that matter affecting mention that Michel Aflaq is the founder of Ba'athism, that is retained in all of my edits-perhaps they're thinking of the time I put an inline citation for this fact and they deleted it. I also gave straight-forward answers to the other inquiries in my other edit summaries that they deliberately misled to believe weren't there.
			I see that you have a usebox that says this user appreciates our good neighbors Canada. Is there one that says this user appreciates our good friends the U.S.? Is so please give me access to it so I can add it to my userpage. ] (]) 22:46, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
			:I don't know if there is one, but if there isn't it would be relatively easy to create one. ] (]) 22:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
	I have provided only a handful of specifics examples of specific misrepresentation and outright lies levied in their report in order to show they exist, many other can be referenced. I will not consume time here going into every substantive fallacy. I do not like being in this position and understand how their version of events alone gives a certain impression, an editor must not be permitted to get away with silencing another simply by being bold enough to lie at ANI smoothly enough the other party is never afforded a chance to respond and properly correct the record. ] (]) 07:26, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

	::{{replyto|OgamD218}} You were reported to ], the edit-warring noticeboard, not AN/I.

	Hello, with regard to this , I noticed that you protected the version of the article with the challanged content and possibile BLP violation under discussion ]. I wonder if the reason is that you do not share my concerns about WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. The statement now included in the article {{tq|In 2018, Katchanovski promoted a false theory that Georgian snipers had orders from Maidan leaders to shoot Maidan protestors. This theory was also promoted by Vladimir Putin}} is not supported by the quoted source , which only contains the picture of a tweet by Oliver Stone, in which Stone re-tweets a 2018 tweet by Katchanovski, in which Katchanovski does not support any theory but shares an Israeli video about Georgian snipers (a video that no editor has ever watched). How is this not WP:OR and SYNTH? ] (]) (]) 16:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

	::::Perhaps, but it's not something I can take (and be grateful you didn't do another revert; if you had you would be in the middle of a 24-hour 3RR block as the BLP exception under 3RRNO wouldn't apply as it only covers ''unsourced'' edits). In fact, seeing how many reverts both editors were at was the deciding factor in favor of full protection ... I didn't really look at the edits in question). Basically full-protecting the "wrong" version is, here, the lesser of two evils from your perspective.
	::::All the same, I think there should be some option here if the protected version clearly has BLP issues despite being putatively sourced. Maybe a post at BLPN that another admin could act on? Of course I would say that would be authorized ''only'' if the information is clearly contentious ''and'' it relies on sources that consensus has found to be deprecated or the sort of sources we would not consider reliable for ''anything''. ] (]) 18:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
	:::::Actually the quoted source is reliable, I believe, but it doesn't support the contentious statement, as anyone could easily verify. Moreover, I've already made a post at BLPN, which didn't gain any traction among uninvolved editors - it only attracted comments from the usual EE aficionados, the same ones who had already expressed their views on the article's talk page. So at this point I think I have done enough and more than enough: I've no particular interest in Katchanovki and I'm happy to disengage. It's a pity, though, because IMHO this was a pretty blatant and straightforward case of source misrepresentation and OR. Thank you both for the answers. ] (]) (]) 21:08, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

The first means "we have no evidence that he ever attended college", whereas the second means "we do have evidence that he never attended college".

	Hi Daniel Case, I've been curious about this for a while, but the situation wih Fq90's latest IP () makes it especially relevant. My understanding was that IP socks are blocked for a limited duration because of the possibility of collateral damage, rather than because indeffed sockmasters are welcome to continue using them for block evasion once the short IP blocks expire. But there does sometimes seem to be ambiguity in the way these short blocks are discussed. Can you clarify? If this IP comes back on wiki after their 1-week block has expired and continues the Fq90 pattern of and , am I justified in treating this as ] or will I need to wait until the situation becomes sanctionable in its own right before taking action, as if they were a new user? Thanks, ] (]) 14:32, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
	:I usually block an IP sock for 2 weeks on the first instance—that was pretty standard a decade ago when I was first patrolling. I usually don't have to go back and do it for longer ... the idea is that that's often long enough for a sockmaster to lose interest.

	*Wednesday February 15 '''] (])'''.
			Hello, Daniel. On 19 August you removed talk page access from a blocked IP range, 203.37.238.0/23. There is no doubt whatever that you were perfectly right to stop the person responsible from having talk page access. However, the editing which led to loss of talk page access came from just 2 IP addresses in the range 203.37.239.48/29, and it all took place within 2 weeks in August. I don't think it's necessary to keep the block on the whole /23 range for almost 3 years, because of that short-term vandalism from a tiny proportion of the range. I would remove the talk page block completely, but at the very least it could be reduced to a much shorter time on a much smaller range. ] (]) 19:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

			I was going to request a little bit of help finding some information on my ongoing expansion of ''The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'', however I need to put that request aside for now. Over the years there have been aggressive confrontations on a fringe topic here on Misplaced Pages (WikiProject: Cryptozoology). Couple years ago I had a debate with him about keeping the project and, considering I did not know as much as I did now, I tried requesting help off site on the Cryptid Wiki. I have since realized that was a mistake, as I didn't really understand all the rules here at the time and I own up to that as a continual part of my growth on here. The user still goes on and off with confrontations with other editors (some pretty amateurish and not knowing all the guidelines here) and he has recently went off on the "List of Cryptids" talk page and I tried to step in to calm the situation (poorly). He has now been resorting to making demeaning remarks and accusations about me and anyone associated with the project, which is unacceptable. I did not know who else to turn to about this, as I have very little conflicts on here and I am not entirely sure if he is stalking me as well. ] (]) 04:04, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

	I began working diligently on the Gaddafi article on February 2nd and took great pains not to remove any pre-existing content out of respect (in retrospect, perhaps I should have because it would've spared me of my current predicament). Contrary to your claim that I violated ] for a month, no one took issue with my writing until Midnightblueowl on February 21st and his only issue was with the length of the article, not the quality of my writing and sources. Midnightblueowl made 19 edits that day, where he unilaterally removed a massive amount of content without discussion . He did not engage on the article talkpage until I reverted him and asked him to explain himself in the edit summary and ] seemed to disagree with the "article is too long" assessment.
			== You've got mail ==
	A compromise was reached after ] created ] and ] in order to shorten the main Gaddafi article. I had no objection to that and did not restore content back to the main Gaddafi article. During the ensuing talkpage discussion, I raised the issue that too much of the article relies on one single extremely dated source at the expense of others and proposed including a more diverse range of high-quality sources. I also pointed out that the article devoted too much space on subjective opinions, extraneous information, and attempts at psychoanalysis, which would've been perfectly fine if Midnightblueowl did not have an issue with the length of the article.

	Things did not come to a head until ]'s aggressive disruption without discussion ruined a good compromise/middle ground. He mass-removed content without discussion. And his 3rd and 4th revert (removing a paragraph I literally wrote today '''after''' his first revert) were clearly done out of spite. Immediately after joining the talkpage discussion, he made numerous false accusations against me (boomerang, whataboutery, disruption, etc), baselessly attacked the quality of my writing, misrepresented Midnightblueowl's position (who only took issue with the length of the article), and misrepresented my own point about the 1987 book. The reality is I have taken great pains not to remove any pre-existing content out of respect for other editors' work; his only interest is in mass removal of content. I have significantly contributed to many Libya-related articles through thorough painstaking research; his only interest is in destroying them (he has yet to contribute even a single sentence to any Libya-related article). Both he and Midnightblueowl initially mass-removed content without any talkpage discussion whatsoever until I asked them to explain themselves. Yet I'm the one being punished....Is this really the way Misplaced Pages wants to treat well-intentioned mainspace article writers who has spent hours and hours creating original content?@ ] (]) 07:40, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
			== Blocking user after page protection request ==
	:*Your edit summaries are . And, really, saying things in discussions like: "''''"?
	:*From ], it does not seem like the editors other than AKG are as conciliatory yet as you have suggested, even before he got involved.
	:*AKG may have been confrontational, too, but he has a point that rather than discuss the source you prefer you then challenge the integrity of another source the article relies on quite a bit, regardless of you probably also having a valid point that maybe the article relies on it more than it should. It doesn't look good when you keep changing the subject in response to a valid point. If both of you are at an impasse, as it does seem, then avail yourselves of other dispute resolution fora ... RS/N might be a good place in this context.
	:*I note that after only a ''day'' of dealing with AKG, you went straight to ANEW in the apparent hope of getting him blocked even though it seemed that he had not yet violated 3RR (OK, that's not necessary to justify a block, but when it's just one day's worth of edits to the article it absolutely won't without something else associated with the edits). That's not really going to impress any admin reviewing that report. (Had you and he been going at it for some time, I might have considered a brief full-protect of the page instead).
	:*Your characterization of AKG's edits shows a marked failure to ], making it harder to take your complaints seriously. We cannot repeat often enough how important AGF is to the project's success; as I recall one admin saying ''years'' ago, before I was even one, AGF is the grease that makes the gears of Misplaced Pages turn. When you abandon it, situations like what has ensued almost invariably result.
	:*I see that ] since I partial-blocked you. The administrators there, most of whom have plenty of experience getting involved in user disputes that involve sanctions, are likewise taking a dim view of your complaints and repeating the ] warning that my resolution of your ANEW report already effectively demonstrates; I particularly agree with {{u|Bishonen}} that . In fact it rather more greatly suggests that that's what you're doing, even if you're not letting yourself realize it.
	:*Last, as noted at the AN/I, you have demonstrated a sloppiness in following procedures for making these complaints. Your ANEW report did not link yours or AKG's page in the hed as they are supposed to. And as TheDragonFire300 noted, he after you had failed to. By themselves these would merit no more than minor comment, but in context of everything else above that surrounds this, it supports the inference that these complaints were filed hastily, with the goal perhaps of somehow resolving the content dispute in your favor.

Their edits include adding material not in the cited source, removing a citation from a section of material leaving it without a cite, etc. They've employed a number of fallacy-based arguments, each of which I've responded to in a way that I believe falsifies them, but they refuse to respond directly to my questions, and have now continued to edit the article, without the talk page discussion being resolved. I tried to alert admin NinjaRobotPirate, the admin who closed that discussion last year in my favor, but he refused to intervene, saying that the article topic "bores" them, and that it isn't my problem. He says I should take it to ANI, but I'd like to avoid that unless absolutely necessary.
			:You'll notice that it was an ] address ... one of those long ones, all beginning with a four-digit string beginning with "2", with lots of colon-separated numbers that you can't memorize like you can with the older ]s (the four numbers, 0-255, separated by dots). You mentioned in your reports that the IP varied only slightly each time.
			:This suggested to me, as it would to any seasoned admin who reviews page-protection requests and reports to AIV, that it would be the same user on an ISP-allocated ]. ISPs like the v6 IPs because it allows them to allocate more capacity to individual users.
			:Usually this means an individual user gets an IP range, indicated by the ] "/64" afterwards and zeroes in the last several colon-separated fields, allowing the ISP's networking software to move them around between as many as 512 different individual IPs. As you can imagine, this makes blocking a single IP ineffective—a problem we had, and continue to have, with IPv4 addresses as well.
			:So, we ]. It used to be something we'd leave to those with the appropriate arcane knowledge, but today we have to calculate those ranges (MediaWiki allows us to block IPv6 ranges as wide as /32, which can be ''thousands'' of addresses).
			:With IPv6es like the ones you reported, it's even easier. We now almost always ] instead of the single IP unless it's clear there's a lot of other people using it. As that page explains, you can just open the IP's contribution history, and append "/64" to the address in the browser bar that displays the URL, then hit enter. Once you do you will see ''all'' the contributions made from that range. Sometimes I've found through that method that an IP whose edits to the article that triggered the report would not by themselves trigger anything more than a warning have made an even greater pain of themselves on other articles where they didn't get reported, and worse happens to them.

	Would you agree that if there is an unambiguous policy violation here, that you can revert and caution those editors to cease this activity? ''Please'' do not pass this off, because these guys are not going to stop. Unless you feel that these editors have a legitimate interpretation of policy, or have at least responded to my correct citation of policy in a way that represents the agree-to-disagree threshold, it should not have to be taken to ANI.

Miesianiacal, however, prefers the that wikilink point to the "Canadian royal family" article, since that's the literal dialogue in the episode.

	In fact, the other editors he cites explicitly said that they were okay with '''either''' version, or that they were not against linking to "British royal family" which they did ''right'' above his most recent tp messages, and .
	Miesianiacal's holding up those two editors as supposedly supporting ''his'' preference, is a deliberate lie on his part, and not the first time he has employed unambiguous deception on that article's talk page (as I detailed ).
	Another editor, SanAnMan, agrees with me that it should be British, as he said .

	::Wikilinking is a common, accepted practice to cross-connect related topics on Misplaced Pages that makes it easier for readers to access those tangentially-related topics. We should not have to refrain from this practice just because one trouble making who has a penchant for lying and manipulation forces us to walk on eggshells for them. I want the wikilink back.

Time to drop the protection of Sweden?

It's been a year since Sweden was EC protected. The UK has experienced the same thing which has since dropped to autoconfirmed protection. Since Sweden has less 1/6th of the population than the UK, is it time to drop the protection to semi? WP:TRYUNPROT JuniperChill (talk) 15:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Since it's EC, I think you should make this a formal request at WP:RPPD and see if there's a consensus of admins. Daniel Case (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Your assistance please

I am seeking to nominate File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3 and others at FFD, and have created a nomination just now at Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion/2024 July 24#File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3.

I am perplexed to find on the file page for the initial show on the nomination a large and highly relevant notice signed by you instead of the nomination I expected. I have no idea how to proceed to place the notice on all the other files as I assume I must do, and woudl appreciate your help. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 19:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

I haven't edited that file page. Sure you're messaging the right person? Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Short article GA

Hey, since you have worked with GAs, I would like to make a question. I recently recreated Hasan Zyko Kamberi after its deletion for copyright issues. There isn't much info available on the subject, as he is merely known as the author of a few short poems. After a few small content additions and copyediting, the length of the article will be around 5k-6k bytes. Can such an article become a GA, or is the very short length an issue in such cases? Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

If that's really all we can say about him, maybe it can be. (Consider that New York State Route 311 is an FA despite being only 18K). Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I think I will also add a small background for his literary genre and a few verses from his poems (though most of them remain unpublished in the archives), so maybe it somehow reaches 8k. haha Thank you for your response. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sini Shetty

Thank you for your article protection. The rambling is continuing over at Talk:Sini Shetty. I have asked the IP user to follow the appeal process as stated at Misplaced Pages:Contentious topics, and not on the talk page, but this hasn't worked. Sciencefish (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I have basically asked them for the receipts. Daniel Case (talk) 02:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Hey, this user has not made any constructive changes despite warnings. Their work is all but edit warring and additions that violate MOS:FILMAUDIENCE and/or WP:V. ภץאคгöร 16:47, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I explained in more detail on the article talk page (They may not be aware of what you wrote in your edit summaries). Let's see what happens. Daniel Case (talk) 03:06, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks but they are still not aware, or at least they act like they are not aware. ภץאคгöร 17:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

I posted again to answer their question about why their edit was removed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey, and articles are being repeatedly altered by anonymous user. Can you please protect these pages against vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fab Feb (talk • contribs) 04:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked 2406:B400:B5:0:0:0:0:0/48 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from those two articles for two weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 04:39, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Skibidi Toilet ECProtection

Hi, I think it's time to try lowering protection. Vandalism/unhelpful edit was at a maintainable degree, and the plot and episode count needs frequent updates from editors who watched the series. I suggest reducing down to pending changes or semi-protection. The hype has largely died down so I expect less disruption. Ca 13:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

I have reduced it to semi. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

red accounts/IPs

Hi Daniel. I've read the Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations brief. I'm not sure if that is even the right page for my suspicion. All I have a is a mild suspicion. Three users all agreement on a subject within a few days; one an IP, one a brand new redlink. Do IPs get checked/scanned regularly for multiple users sort of thing? I'm not even too sure how to phrase it.Halbared (talk) 22:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

What page are you referring to? Daniel Case (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hmm. One of them does look sort of interesting given that it made two edits to that page on the day it was created, and only there ... not something most new users do. The other redlink has less than a hundred edits but it's been around for four years.

No, IPs are not checkusered routinely like that (blocking them as open proxies is a different matter, though) ... we have to have some suspicion of misuse. Daniel Case (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Request for Autopatrolled right

Hello Daniel,

I humbly request the Misplaced Pages:Autopatrolled right to be able to reduce the workload of other editors as I have created numerous articles which you can comfirm independently aside from the list on my User page. Most of my articles are based on current events and always needed urgent patrol to be indexed and be public to readers. I will create new articles in the future which makes having this right paramount. My latest article created is End Bad Governance protests.

I am optimistic and look forward to your favorable reply. Thanks. Wår (talk) 09:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Anon is back

Hello Daniel Case, The anon you warned earlier has returned with the same disruptive behaviour. I’ve issued another warning, but would you prefer to handle this directly, or should I report them again? Since their IP keeps changing, would it be possible to consider semi-protecting the Sant Singh Maskeen page to prevent further issues? Thank you, GSS  13:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

IP disruption at Knafeh

Hey, you previously protected Knafeh so that only autoconfirmed can edit it, then another admin changed it to extended confirmed access, but I think he did something wrong, because the protection ended a day after.

An IP is now disruting the article again. im contacting you because the other admin hasnt edited for a month. Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 02:11, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, what happened is that Amortias probably wasn't aware that when you upgrade an existing semi-protection to EC, it doesn't layer ... it won't go back to semi after the ECP expires. A lot of admins who work on this would like the developers to change that so the protections layer, like they do with pending changes.

Anyway, do you want me to restore just the semi for now since it was the IP that was being disruptive? Daniel Case (talk) 02:29, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Could I borrow your eyes again for a moment?

I believe this amounts to a BLP vio on defamation of a respected scientist, so might need RD? Raladic (talk) 23:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Mmm ... it's disparaging, yes, and properly deleted, but are those claims generally accepted as true? Daniel Case (talk) 00:15, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

That's why I wanted your eyes to know if it needs RD or if deletion is enough.

The claims the user made are entirely wrong, as can be seen by the sourcing of the article itself, the BLP in question is an expert in the field, not just a parent of a transgender child, who has authored numerous peer reviewed journal articles in the field and is employed as a scientist by a University in the field.

There is an active AE thread (which I started) on the user - Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Peckedagain, but no admin action has been taken yet and the user continues to disrupt the content talk space arguing with just about every user they are interacting with, at this point I'm losing confidence whether a topic ban is enough or whether they need a timeout.

Latest socks of User:JamesOredan/User:Venezia Friulano

The last you blocked was DrakeXper. Most recently, the following socks have been blocked by other admins at my request or independently: Claudio di Roma, Dreom, Ocean Stones, Combrils and Fauvertt. Can these newborns be checked by you: Ananscumber, Manfil and Pikeras? There are others but these to me are the most obvious. I have also opened a case at the incidents noticeboard cause I think Manfil and maybe the other one are literally inventing sources to push the usual agenda. Barjimoa (talk) 09:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, and based on an edit war in the French wiki it's obvious 85.235.68.81 and 46.222.166.38 are other IPs of James/Venezia, if that can be of any help. Barjimoa (talk) 09:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Looks like 46.222 has made an edit (as 46.222.200.247) and the tourism in Italy page (targeted by 82.325 and Pikeras) is being targeted by another suspicious account (pointed out by this other user: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Barjimoa&diff=prev&oldid=1241500066). Both are removing content in Italy-related pages, which is a thing he does often.Barjimoa (talk) 19:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked Dromble indef and that 46.222 for two weeks, along with 90.166.192.27 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), which had been making similar edits to Tourism in Italy and also resolves to Spain. I looked at the range 46.222.128.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)), which would take in both mentioned IPs, but as it is very wide it has a lot of legitimate use and so there would be too much collateral damage from a sitewide block. Of course, if you look through the contribs and find any other edits that appear to be him, let me know ... it might be possible that a narrower rangeblock could be done.

Your denial of my page protection increase requests

I requested page protection increases for Perikatan Nasional and Malaysian United Indigenous Party due to disruptive editing and you denied them with the justification that there hasn't been enough of said activity. So exactly how many times does this anonymous user have to keep adding deleted content for it to be "enough"? Since your refusal they've done it a third time; so I need to wait for the fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Genuinely sorry if this comes off as a bit blunt, but I hope you can understand that I'm feeling quite frustrated. Their most recent edit on the MUIP page had an edit summary of "THAT'S ENOUGH STOP THAT NOW !!!" - directed at me, obviously. No rebuttal of my reasoning - just a demand for me to stop.

Thanks, Sisuvia (talk) 09:07, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Usually we grant protection if the page is being overwhelmed at the time of the request. This editor seems to be spacing things out. Also, other IPs seem to be making constructive contributions; it would not be fair to them.

So what might work? A rangeblock, perhaps just limited to those two articles. If you can take the trouble to list all the IPs they've been using, I'll see what I can do. Daniel Case (talk) 16:57, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Oscar bait

Hi @Daniel Case. I wanted to reach out and ask something about a page you were the main contributor on, Oscar bait. I brought up a year ago about whether the Oscar bait#List of films considered "Oscar bait" that failed to earn any Oscar nominations section was necessary, because I think it represents undue weight and also reads as trivia without being informative of what is considered "Oscar bait". For instance, there are films considered "Oscar bait" that did manage to get Oscar nominations/wins, i.e. Shakespeare in Love, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but the list only focuses on shutouts. Furthermore, any film that had a degree of Oscar buzz but got shutout will be referred to as "Oscar bait" by entertainment websites, listicles, or content mills; does that justify their inclusion in the article? I should also note that the editor who contributed that list has a history of synthesis, original research, and making lists for the sake of lists. The other contributor has a similar history of original research.

My suggestion is that the list be removed. The films listed are obviously similar to the films covered on the podcast This Had Oscar Buzz (link to episode list). Heck, 14 of the films listed under the 2000s are early THOB episodes. I think including a citation for the THOB podcast in the article would suffice and would also give credit to the podcast for identifying the type of films discussed in the article. Thanks. Spectrallights (talk) 18:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry to take a while getting back to you on this. I generally agree.

I didn't start the article but I added enough to it to get it to DYK ... to me, it's complementary to dump months; you'll see the links from that article. That list, however, I didn't add, as you note, and frankly I've sort of tolerated it being there only because no one has ever raised this objection. And if it had been totally up to me (which, of course, it should not) I wouldn't have added it.

Your point is, well, on point. As noted in the article's criticism section, "Oscar bait" is too loosely thrown around to really be a defining characteristic of a film, other than it being released in the last couple of months of the year with name actors, a big budget and some sort of "Important" subject or theme. I mean, do we call low-budget edgy indie films with unknowns "Sundance bait"? (of course not, since most of us outside of Park City only see them after the bait, so to speak, has been taken). It is often just a way to disparage a film with those characteristics someone doesn't like for whatever reason.

And, as noted, the amount of Oscar nominations given out is limited, even now, so it's inevitable that a lot more films that might be seen as Oscar-worthy in some way will not get any notice. You probably have a better chance at getting a major party's presidential nomination.

Now, that might make a better stand-alone list, as might a lot of the sort of stand-alone film-related listicles floating around the Internet that could be Misplaced Pages lists as the sourcing for many entries is good enough. But I agree that in the article it's cruft. Daniel Case (talk) 20:25, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Nonprotection of LoliRock

I noticed a content dispute on LoliRock and was considering protection, but then noticed a strange protection history from you that resulted in the article being completely unprotected. Not wanting to step on your toes, I'd like to understand what happened. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:12, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

One of the users involved requested protection be dropped to PC, even though that applies to them, since the talk page discussion I urged on them in granting EC had already occurred and was fruitless. I thought that was a better solution, and granted it for two weeks. It's by no means "completely unprotected". Daniel Case (talk) Daniel Case (talk) 20:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Ah, OK. I hadn't noticed the PC protection. I typically ignore it or disable it because I've found it does nothing but create more work for the community in most cases.

The difficulty now is that there's a content dispute, and only one side's edits are being flagged as pending. Approving or rejecting the pending change puts an editor into the position of taking one side in the dispute. ECP would have been better, forcing both parties to the talk page without putting anyone else in a position to be dragged into a dispute. A pending change now appears in my watch list, but I'm not going to touch it.

Just one more thing wrong with PCP. It isn't the right tool to use for a content dispute. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Well, in this case since a) the editor requesting it would have had their edits subject to it and b) the talk page discussion wasn't getting anywhere, I felt it better than EC since it will allow other non-AC editors to contribute productively. And if nothing's changed by the time it expires, I have no problem going back to ECP. Daniel Case (talk) 21:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Editor of the Week

User:Hey man im josh submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Daniel Case to be Editor of the Week for their tireless efforts to protect Misplaced Pages. According to Xtools, they've protected almost 2,500 pages over the past year, which is nearly 50% more than the person with the second most (not counting JPxG who added protection to thousands of old signpost pages)!

Small request

Hello Mr Case, can you kindly delete the second revision of my own user revision history page? I'm asking for this, since it shows my previous username which was my real name. I wish to have this revision deleted, so I can rest easy to remain anonymous. Thank you in advance for your help! Benzekre (talk) 07:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done I should note, though, that the redirect from your old username brings you to your new page. I am not sure what the process would be to delete that, or find some other process, in order to maintain privacy although I think we should be able to accommodate you somehow. I suppose I will have to ask. Daniel Case (talk) 18:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Much appreciated. I have now noticed that my user talk history page also has the same revision which I wish to have deleted. Can you also kindly delete this? Thanks in advance and i'm sorry for the bother. Benzekre (talk) 08:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Mistaken identity

i was wrongly reported for using an IP to edit a page. First of all, I didn't do it. I came across an edit war between the IP and another user. When I sided with the IP that user accused me of being a sock. I am not a sock. Why would I use an IP when I have an account? I wasn't banned or restricted from the article and besides, that ip had edited that article a month before I saw it. You took that users word without any evidence and protected that page. I am not that IP. Donteatgarlic (talk) 11:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Daniel Case! I'm messaging you to let you know that I just strengthened this range's block to a site-wide block and set it to expire one month for now due to this edit that I just caught. I'm letting you know about this because you had modified the block for this range that has still been ongoing. I'm not sure as to how extensive, related, or how frequent the past vandalism from this range has been, but the previous block logs made it clear that stronger blocks would be imposed if shenanigans continue. Please know that you're welcome to modify, reduce, remove, strengthen, turn upside-down, - whatever you want to the block modification that I imposed. Just let me know and why; It would be good information in case this range pops up on my radar again. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 04:46, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

As noted there, the account ranges are too wide (/32 is the biggest CIDR we're allowed to use on IPv6es) to block sitewide so they have closed the SPI (Of course, blocking those /32s from the relevant articles might be worth considering). Daniel Case (talk) 05:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Page protection request(s)

Hi, you recently declined my requests to increase the protection (because of recent persistent vandalism) of the following pages. Would you please reconsider protecting them, now that two more rounds of IP hopping have occurred?

• Workers' Party of Korea
• Leninist Komsomol of the Russian Federation
• Alliance 90/The Greens
• Sahra Wagenknecht
• Market socialism
• Lao People's Revolutionary Party
• Đổi Mới, Pierre Woodman and Socialist-oriented market economy (these three were protected by someone else after my requests but only for 3 or 1 days, so there were also affected again after their protection had expired, so I thought I include them here as well)

I hope I haven't misjugded the situation again (sorry if I have) and that it's alright that I request the protection here. Thanks! Felida (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Request for page protection: Evanescence

I recently requested page protection for Evanescence at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Increase. First off, thank you for taking the time to review my request. However, I am confused by your response. I requested this page to be protected because this seems to be a case of sock puppetry. There is in fact more than one IP user involved. But you responded, saying, "User(s) blocked: 88.97.197.0/24 blocked by Ponyo." But there is another IP user that started performing the same disruptive edit after the first IP user was blocked. That IP user is 88.97.194.94, and they haven't been blocked yet, despite this being a clear case of a sock evading a block. That's why I requested page protection; just blocking them isn't going to stop this. Temporary page protection would stop this. Just looking at the article's edit history shows that they may continue to do this if the page doesn't get protected. I would appreciate your thoughts and possible solutions so I and other editors don't have to go back and forth with this potential sock puppet. Thank you. Bowling is life (talk) 06:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Well, we could see about expanding the range to take in that one ... If it's wider than /16, then protection would definitely be a stronger option.

We tend to base our protection decisions, outside of ArbCom or community-sanctions enforcement, IME, on what has happened as opposed to what might. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you clearing that up. I just don't like edit warningz even though they are block evading and being disruptive. The first user involved named, ThatCouchPotato, was blocked indefinitely for sock puppetry. And then the two IP users came in right after ThatCouchPotato got blocked and performed the same edits. The first IP user gets blocked and then another comes in and does the same thing. Seems suspicious. Anyways, thank you for the quick response. Bowling is life (talk) 06:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

My sniffiness?

Could you please clarify on this, which appears to be referring to me saying I personally thought the rule was too nitpicky on using 'on this day' or 'two years ago today' in hooks? Valereee (talk) 13:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry ... you came across here as if you were suggesting that maybe we shouldn't be allowing so many anniversary-themed hooks. Since I've done a lot of them without anyone suggesting this, I was a little taken aback, much as I'm also a little surprised that people are so focused on the idea of a "quirky" yet to me unclear hook when, when I started doing DYKs years ago we generally rejected that idea outside of April 1.

I mean, I can see you as having had a point re this particular anniversary date in that not a lot of people may remember that event to begin with (but no one ever applied that criterion before, either, to any nominated hook of mine, to my recollection). Daniel Case (talk) 18:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

That was a previous point: you'd asked "But then what's the point of running it on the anniversary?" if we aren't mentioning the anniversary. I was simply answering: we often do exactly that if it's not important to the reader understanding the hook. I don't know where you got the idea I was suggesting we shouldn't do so many. Although usually if the subject is interesting at all, there's something more interesting to say about it than that it happened exactly X years ago today.

But that wasn't what I was asking about w/re you called my "sniffiness".

I'd said about the 'fact that never changes' rule:

The rule is a bit nitpicky, IMO. It might have happened two years ago 'today' all day in the US, but much of the time it's appearing, the local date is not Sept 30. Meh. People watching the BBC in the am in the US and hearing the anchor mention an incident had happened 'early this afternoon' are able to understand. But that's been the interpretation of the rule. Valereee (talk) 9:05 am, Yesterday (UTC−4)Reply

You responded to my post later, apparently referring back to that, with:

I think if "quirky" is what we want, and based on your sniffiness about mentioning "today" in the hook at all above, let's just stick with Roy's idea of the catchphrase alone.

I wasn't applying the rule. I was explaining it and saying I thought it was nitpicky and unnecessary to interpret it that way, but that was the interpretation. And you called this my "sniffiness". Which surprised me a bit. Valereee (talk) 18:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Again, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used that word. But it was meant to apply to the earlier comment that I took as implying we don't run, or shouldn't be running, so many anniversary-related hooks rather than the wording calling attention to that fact.

And I think, really, that being leery of "on this day" on the grounds that it won't be, or have been, that exact day for everyone reading is overly restrictive in a modern media environment that blurs the boundaries of a date for everyone in the world paying attention to it. Yes, there are places where the 9/11 attacks took place technically in the early hours of 9/12, but even if that had been some much less deadly, less remembered incident, I think any hook calling attention to its anniversary would have been understood by people living in those Pacific islands near the International Date Line both then and now.

I mean, right next to DYK we have a subsection of the Main Page named On This Day, after all. And just how many FAs have we run, or plan to run, on the Main Page timed to a specific anniversary?

I was also unaware there ever has been any rule that anniversary hooks automatically mention the date; I just think it's an obvious thing to do if you want to generate a little extra interest in the article, and encourages people to create those articles in due time. In the past when hooks I've nominated have not been able to run by a date I would have liked them to, I have just rewritten the dates out.

When you say "Although usually if the subject is interesting at all, there's something more interesting to say about it than that it happened exactly X years ago today", it still reads the same way to me, and as if you're trying to deflect. I don't think I've ever read, much less written, a hook that just mentioned the anniversary date ... if I saw one at T:TDYK, I'd be the first to comment that it was a dull hook since every event has anniversaries. To me that "X years ago today" is a little sauce on the dish, on your real hook, to get more people to click the link than otherwise would.

Since I do a lot of anniversary-related DYKs, please understand that although you may not have meant it that way, I do nevertheless in the absence of clearer wording feel remarks like those you have made are overly dismissive of what I have done as a longtime DYK contributor. Daniel Case (talk) 19:26, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

And I think, really, that being leery of "on this day" on the grounds that it won't be, or have been, that exact day for everyone reading is overly restrictive in a modern media environment that blurs the boundaries of a date for everyone in the world paying attention to it. Which is exactly what I said. I said The rule is a bit nitpicky, IMO. It might have happened two years ago 'today' all day in the US, but much of the time it's appearing, the local date is not Sept 30. Meh. People watching the BBC in the am in the US and hearing the anchor mention an incident had happened 'early this afternoon' are able to understand.

I don't know where you're getting the idea I don't think we should ever call out anniversaries. I called one out for Safe House Museum. MLK holed up there two weeks before he was assassinated, I asked for the hook to run on the anniversary of the date he stayed there. Another editor objected to 'on this date in 1968' -- due to this rule -- and changed it to 'on 21 March 1968, just weeks before he was assassinated?'

May it's just a miscommunication. Apology accepted for calling it my sniffiness. Valereee (talk) 20:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh, the 'meh' was about the rule itself. Like, "Meh, avoiding using 'on this day' because dates change during a DYK appearance seems like nitpicking to me, but whatever, it's how the community has decided to interpret that rule." Valereee (talk) 10:29, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Polish–Ottoman War (1633–1634)

Hello, hope you're well. You protected Polish–Ottoman War (1633–1634) a few months ago in June due to people changing the results from Inconclusive to Polish victory. The same thing is occurring once more; users are engaging in edit wars over this. Is there something you could do? I would have suggested increasing the protection to extended-confirmed edits only, but User Setegh is extended-confirmed and it is not stopping them from revising the outcome of the war as well as engaging in edit wars. The article is very clear that the war ended in status quo ante bellum. Would appreciate your input. Thanks. Perast (talk) 17:43, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks to the protection, which continues through next June, there is only one user to deal with, and as this is not the only article where they've been causing problems I have given them a final warning. Daniel Case (talk) 17:58, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, just wanted to highlight that you warned the wrong person. They were trying to revert the article back to the stable version where the result was "Inconclusive". The user who keeps changing it to "Polish victory" (which is why you protected the article in June) is the one who edited the article most recently and reverted my attempt to return the article to the stable version. Thanks. Perast (talk) 18:06, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

OK. I reverted my warning to Historyk.ok (but reading their talk page will show they're not in the clear as a whole) and instead gave a CTOPS alert to Setergh, who has only been editing since May anyway. We'll see what effect that has. Daniel Case (talk) 18:18, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for addressing this issue. Are you also able to revert Polish–Ottoman War (1633–1634) to its stable version where the result was classed as Inconclusive until recently? Perast (talk) 18:24, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello!

I understand that the 1633–1634 war is designated a contentious topic, although I don't particularly understand what I did wrong here. I changed the result and provided sources for it.

As for engaging in edit wars as the user @Perast said above, I don't know what kind of edit war I engaged in. I agree I should've instantly went to the talk page, but it's not like I just went edit after edit after edit arguing with him in it. And even then, he's the one changing the result back without using any source, unlike me.

So, in your opinion, what should I have done instead? Unless you just want me to have instantly referred to the talk page after the revert, even though Perast could've done it instantly as well. Setergh (talk) 18:26, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

It is the second time you reverted on this issue (first was with another user). You say you cited 2 sources but it doesn't exactly matter as the body of the article confirms that the war ended inconclusively. I can also bring double and more of the amount of sources you cited where they state that the war ended inconclusively. Should I?

As for your last comment, I went to the talk page after you reverted my edit. Perast (talk) 18:30, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Once again, as you just told me in the talk page (and I replied), go for it and give the references for Inconclusive.

The thing is, originally the result was Inconclusive but cited no sources, therefore, as I mentioned on the other page, all I saw was Ottoman defeat and therefore Polish victory, so I went with that as my result. Setergh (talk) 18:32, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Just wanted to make it known here that the issue is resolved. Perast (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Potential SPA appears to be editing multiple pages

Hope you're doing well today! Through my editing, I often explore different colleges by clicking through categories.

I stumbled upon a college article which had "notable coaches" section at a division 3 college, which is generally not known for athletics. I took a look at the corresponding articles and realized that they were either created by (with the exception of 1) and heavily edited by the same editor between 2022 and 2024. Sources are primarily from the school. From what I can tell, the editor has only edited pages regarding the school. I've enquired about COI on the user's page recently, but would this qualify as an account created for promotional purposes only? Wozal (talk) 22:27, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Strange IP User

Hi Daniel Case. I apologize if this isn't a place to make new reports. I was involved in a discussion at Talk:2024 United States presidential election#Remove RealClearPolitics from polling. An IP user admitted that they have an account that was blocked and that was why they used an IP account. It seems like block evasion. They also admitted that they used multiple IP accounts in the discussion but said they did so because they were out on holiday. I wonder what you would do in this case? Thank you. CountyCountry (talk) 06:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I read this discussion ... God, this is why we encourage people to create accounts. While the different 120.19 IPs are plausible as not intending to sock, as they're probably dynamic IP, at the very least the user should be asked to identify their old account and their contribution to that discussion discounted. Daniel Case (talk) 06:43, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for looking into this. Do you think that the IP should be blocked? They admitted that they’re editing using their IP because their account is blocked. CountyCountry (talk) 07:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Well ... I'd like to know what that old account was and how long ago it was blocked (he says banned, but a lot of less experienced users conflate that with being blocked indefinitely). Under some circumstances I might be willing to unblock the old account, as they don't seem to be trying to be disruptive. Daniel Case (talk) 17:50, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

This same IP user (27.33.134.168) is edit warring with other users to change the status quo at Nationwide opinion polling for the 2024 United States presidential election. See diffs: , , , and . For the last two diffs, it's a different IP, but they've admitted that it's them. The other user war editing is the one that made the concerning comment. I talked about them at the bottom of this talk page. I might make an RfC on this. CountyCountry (talk) 02:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

George Santos and capitalization of titles

Thanks for the edits to the George Santos page which greatly improve the readability and flow of the page.

Maybe it's me, but do your edits of George Santos on 1 October 2024 match the MOS:JOBTITLE style?

As an example, lowercase of "attorney general" in:

New York Attorney Generalattorney general Letitia James

doesn't seem to match the MOS. I think MOS:JOBTITLE indicates that capitalization like:

Letitia James, the attorney general of New York 

would be fine, whereas flipping the order should be:

New York Attorney General Letitia James

I'm not sure on this but the page on Attorney General of New York leads with:

The attorney general of New York is the chief legal officer

whereas the page on Ms. James has only one lowercase instance of Attorney General

James was sworn in as attorney general on January 1, 2019,

See: George Santos diff

Puzzled,

Lent (talk) 07:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't really thinking of JOBTITLE when I made that revert; as my edit summary shows, it was about CONFORM. I do agree that with Ms. James's title preceding her name, it should be capitalized. Daniel Case (talk) 17:17, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Daniel,

I understand that you could be handling loads and loads of concerns from people everyday but I was hoping to get some help regarding this situation. Jtreyes85 (talk) 13:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

OK, I took a look. I see two big issues which do not, to me seem likely to go away anytime soon:

• Sources: They are either, generally, not considered reliable sources or are just passing, trivial mentions, such as a credit or one single inline use of the name. Variety is a reliable source, but I don't find any mention of Bill Dawes in it. Pop Culturalist has that nice in-depth coverage, but looking at its About page I don't find any indication that the site applies any editorial oversight to what it publishes. Without an WP:RS/N discussion on it, I don't see it as reliability—it is not something we presume. IMdB makes use of a lot of user-submitted information that isn't verified by the site, and so too with most other databases. Rotten Tomatoes isn't something we usually use to establish a person's notability.
• The prose. It reads like a bio that an agent or publicist might put out, not an encyclopedia article. I concede that it avoids obvious fluff, but it still needs work—it is exactly the reason we like to have non-trivial reliably-sourced third-party coverage for, so we can avoid this.

Would an increase in article protection be needed, especially because that we are close to the election. Or would another action be needed? CountyCountry (talk) 03:39, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't see any need to do anything right now ... Daniel Case (talk) 03:46, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Update on IP you blocked two times before

Hi Daniel Case. The IPs that you blocked two times before are now back calculating averages incorrectly after their block expired. They are continuing to do the same thing. We talked about the case before here: User talk:Daniel Case#159.250.17.61. For example, today they calculated the averages here wrong . The average for Trump should be 47.62, not 47.85 (they like rounding to hundredths place for some reason). And this throws the whole margins off in a close election. They did the same here where it should be 48.08 and not 47.95 for Trump. This IP is not changing and refuses to calculate correctly. CountyCountry (talk) 05:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

They are now blocked for three months, which should eliminate any disruption they might cause before the election. Daniel Case (talk) 05:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Power Girl edit warrior

Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up that this WP:SPA seems to be insisting on repeating their edit warring with their comment at my talk. I have already filed an SPI and another edit warring report, though, alas, I do not think this will be the end of their antics until they are tired out. I mean, they've repeatedly kept their edit war going on for well over a year on their original account until just recently when it was blocked.

Protection levels at WP:CASTE

Hey. Do you know if there's an expectation to ECP @WP:CASTE? Because I'm looking at the log where it appears that I'm pretty much the only one semiprotecting. Any ideas? Thank you. Best, El_C 01:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

I always got that idea, yes, although it's certainly within your discretion if you don't. Just like with ARBPIA, although I think that's backed up by ABRECR applying there. Daniel Case (talk) 01:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Right, with ARBPIA ECR is already expressly prescribed as a remedy. But with CASTE I'm kinda wondering what everyone else knows that I don't... El_C 01:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

I get the feeling that with CASTE, as well as RUSUKR and some AA articles directly relevant to military conflict between those two nations, either directly or through proxies, EC has been permitted as a remedy. The contentiousness of those topic areas has led to a lot of admins preferring it, perhaps so they don't have to see RFPPs for those articles again. Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Not to belabour the point, but WP:RUSUKR and WP:GS/AA both expressly mention ECP, whereas CASTE doesn't but everyone (except for me) defaults to it. Maybe it's just one of those mysteries, where everyone's in the know but me. :( El_C 02:09, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

It might have been approved but not noted. WP:GENSEX does not seem to reflect the thumbs-up to the amendment request Sideswipe9th and I made earlier this year, that ECR be allowed in instances of deliberate misgendering and deadnaming. We would have liked it to be a mandatory sanction, but I'm happy right now with it being informally permissive. Daniel Case (talk) 02:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hanni Pham Contentious Material

Hi Daniel, I notice that you have put a contentious topics notice on Hanni (singer). The famous singer is an Australian national with Vietnamese ancestry. The article violated BLP policies from the first edit from a banned user on 14 Aug 2022, which incorrectly referred to her as a "Vietnamese rapper". Some poorly written music articles have repeated his misinformation, stating the singer was born in Vietnam. Those articles are now used as 'reliable' sources to perpetuate lies about her, that have reached Vietnamese nationalist activists. It has puts the innocent singer as a target of online harassment, as reported by the BBC https://www.bbc.com/vietnamese/articles/c97l38yr67zo (and elsewhere) which states the apolitical singer is believed to have betrayed Vietnam. Having looked carefully into the matter, can you help me understand the administrator support, including banning users, for the perpetuation of false information which began and continues on Misplaced Pages in violation of its BLP policies. Why is an Australian-born singer with Vietnamese ethnicity so contentious? Travelmite (talk) 16:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

See WP:NAT. Nationality and ethnicity really seem to really bring up the hackles on some people's backs. We've had to even protect some articles about foods (like the ever-popular chicken tikka masala, which we've had to protect indefinitely over whether it's Indian or South Asian). Last year I had to indefinitely semi-protect Siobhan Fahey as a contentious BLP when I reviewed the history and saw that for years edit-warring had gone on over whether she's English (where she grew up and sounds like she came from) or Irish (where she was born, where her parents are from and what her name would lead you to believe).

It sounds like the issues you raise regarding sources might be best addressed at BLPN. Daniel Case (talk) 19:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages editors are not able to access the nationality of Siobhan Fahey, so any opinion on nationality violates the BLP policy. At a minimum, the administrative function is to remove information that violates the policy. Information that is contentious should be presumed to violate the policy until any uncertainty is dealt with.

There is no evidence that Misplaced Pages editors are aware of Vietnamese nationalism they inflamed by writing up their personal impressions or copying fan sites. Your notice appears to confirm the BLP policy is being violated, where removal becomes compulsory. Steps to tackle edit-warring must be subordinate to the BLP policy because that may endanger or defame people, which you correctly pointed out in the first line. The singer is at risk in Vietnam (as reported by the BBC) because of Misplaced Pages falsely implying someone is subject to Vietnamese law, including sedition.

According to the BLP policy in conjunction your contentious topic notice, the contentious biographic material must be removed, and anyone restoring that material should be restricted from doing so. With BLP satisfied, editors can then proceed to find a reliable source (perhaps via the BLPN) that is not a mere recycling of the original Misplaced Pages unsourced presumption from 2022. Is this understanding correct? Travelmite (talk) 20:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, you are correct that we—like most people—can't look into the data bases governments maintain of who is and isn't a citizen. We can, of course, cite a person's statements about their own citizenship or preferred nationality if they are seen as reliable enough about themselves. There are other places from which reasonable inferences can be drawn—we decided that since Anna Wintour is able to vote in U.S. elections and give money to candidates, she is a U.S. citizen.

Can you tell me which unreliable sources are being used to support the notion that she has Vietnamese citizenship? (It doesn't appear presently that the article makes that claim).

BLP mandates that negative material about a living person be removed without discussion only if it is unsourced or poorly sourced. If someone differs about the quality of the sourcing, there should usually be at least a discussion on the talk page, as there presently appears to be. Daniel Case (talk) 20:37, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

To confirm, the article infobox claim is: Nationality = Vietnamese Australian] < !- As per consensus at talk page, maintain Vietnamese–Australian nationality as per MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES guidelines >. That would be to not implement BLP, which requires immediate removal. However in this case, the novice editor was banned for BLP, even though the reverting/complaining editor posted sources that were unreliable and inconsistent (step 6 in timeline). Add that the newsworthy aspect in the source was online harassment by political nationalists for what Misplaced Pages was claiming. I provide the following summary in timeline format:

1) 2022.08.14 Startpage "hani, is a Vietnamese rapper" "Born ... Vietnam". There is no source. The only other link cites a unrelated group called GOT7.

2) 2022.09.29 "a Vietnamese-Australian rapper" "Born ... Melbourne" (no source, the dash indicates dual nationality as per MOS:DUALNATIONALITY in contrast to Vietnamese Australian)

3) 2024.06.16 Infobox "Citizenship: Vietnam.Australia", source is the harassment by Vietnamese nationalists in mid-2023 Dong Sun-hwa. "NewJeans member Hanni's dual nationality causes stir". The Korea Times. Archived from the original on September 7, 2023. Retrieved June 16, 2024. "some extremists even demanding she gives up her Vietnamese nationality" which was presumed.

4) 2024.07.01 Novice user deletes citizenship line calling it "False information", followed by 17 days of edit tussles with many users and debate on talk page.

5) 2024.07.01 You added the CTOPS notice

6) 2024.07.01-17 Talk:Hanni_(singer)/Archive_1 defenders of the page prioritise 3RR rule over BLP policy (contrary to WP:3RRBLP) and claim "reliable sources" that directly contradict each other as follows:

(a) 2022.07.22 "Hani is a Vietnamese national"

(b) 2022.07.26 "The 18-year-old was born in Vietnam but was raised in Australia".

(c) 2022.08.03 "Hani (18, Vietnamese)"

(d) 2022.08.11 "Hani has dual citizenship in Vietnam and Australia".

(e) 2023.05.09 "Hanni was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia to Vietnamese parents".

(f) 2023.05.12 "Hanni was born in Vietnam, but raised in Australia".

Overlooked are sources elsewhere referring to Hanni as just Australian, such as 2023.01.07 Daily Mail UK "Australian member, Hanni Pham"; and BBC 2023.02.01 "she is an Australian citizen and of Vietnamese descent". In fact, her actual citizenship or nationality has not been specifically disclosed. It was suggested "errors regarding her birthplace" did not affect source reliably .

7) 2024.06.17 Infobox "Nationality: Vietnamese-Australian" source Quoc Tan Trung Nguyen (March 9, 2023). "Backlash against K-pop star Hanni shows Vietnam still struggles with the legacy of the war". The Conversation. Retrieved July 17, 2024. < !-- As per consensus at talk page, maintain Vietnamese–Australian nationality as per MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES guidelines -- >. The PhD student's article does not state the singer's nationality or citizenship.

8) 2024.08.17; 2024.08.19; 2024.10.10 there were further edit tussles over nationality line and 'real' name.

9) 2024.09.26 Vietnamese Wiki version infobox states "Citizen: Australian" after their own debate.

10) 2024.10.25 removal of dash "nationality: Vietnamese Australian"

The above history shows no confirmation or disclosure of Hanni Pham's nationality - its all guesswork. Despite conflicting statements in citations, Misplaced Pages continue to make assertions, except Es. and Vi.wikipedia. It is self-evident that proper citation and reliable sourcing has not been applied. The harmful, unfair sedition controversy within Vietnam is likely generated from Misplaced Pages's citizenship assertion. What I am asking here, is that administratively it appears the priority was to stop the edit tussle, add a contentious notice, ban a user and restrict discussion, but not uphold the Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons policy that "Contentious material about living persons ... that is unsourced or poorly sourced ... be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion", which Misplaced Pages argues is necessary by "applicable laws in the United States" WP:3RRBLP. Ironically, this is lot of discussion to act without discussion. Kindly help me figure out where the administrative priorities lie. Travelmite (talk) 07:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Considering how they attract the attention of, ahem, kids and other folk with rather wild imaginations, I don't think that a CT/CS would hurt to curb on vandalism and hoaxing. Blake Gripling (talk) 21:38, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm thinking about similar sanctions with Philippine radio stations given the antics of one of them dudes I mentioned, but I'm not sure if it warrants a CS/GS unless there are more of them vandalising said articles. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:25, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

These pages have been the target of persistent addition of unsourced content by multiple IP users from Venezuela, which is most likely the same person.

Rajpurohit

Dear Sir Sheer vandalism is going on, on the page for Rajpurohit caste. I myself am a researcher and belong to the same caste and therefore well learned on the issue. A guy with username Vedant Katyayan has been trying very hard to misguide and manipulate the page. He has deleted all the facts about the origin, evolution, warriors and events in their lives under the disguise of "POV Push" whereas the fact is that he is trying to whitewash with his POV. This is personally very derogatory and since I have less edits on wiki, I feel helpless. You had cleared the matter by restoring previous version and setting up editing lock but he has bounced back as an editor with more than 500 edits and thus deleting back. I confronted to him on his talk and he finally limited himself to saying that just because page numbers of the reference books were not mentioned therefore he termed it all false. this is unjustified. I can even provide page numbers with proper links but now I can't edit. Kindly help sir. Anshu1799 (talk) 06:03, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hmm ... we could increase the restrictions on the page, but I'm not sure that's the issue. Maybe you should consider an AN/I thread, where others might be able to weigh in? Daniel Case (talk) 06:07, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

There is already an ongoing discussion going on in Talk:Rajpurohit about the changes i made. This user @Anshu1799 is unnecessarily making personal attacks on me and even threatened me for consequences on my talk page while i requested him to maintain civility. Multiple times i asked him to cite Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources but it looks like he doesn't cares at all about reliable sources and even want to add information which wasn't even mentioned in any source on that article. I made my last change on Rajpurohit when another administrator allowed me to restore his version on Talk:Rajpurohit. Vedant Katyayan (talk) 09:23, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

He is consistently making unconstructive edits on different articles while poorly citing a Non-Reliable source to push POV for Rajpurohit caste. I hope you'll analyse his edits neutrally and will also warn him not to make personal attacks or threats to me. Vedant Katyayan (talk) 09:26, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Sir, I hope you can clearly see how jealous this person is. He is a propagandist and is just playing the victim card to gain sympathy. This article was already in a good state for a long time but suddenly this person has issues with the Rajpurohit community and he is so intolerant about it. Again and again he declares works of renowned historians as Unreliable sources. He has zero knowledge about the topic and is treating it as sacrilege. He did something similar with CHARANS as well but they could protect their page by imposing restrictions. I sincerely urge you to revert the page to the last edit that I made and elevate the restriction. I believe it will protect the dignity and decorum of the page and WP both from such people. I assure you in all my senses that the information on the article and mentioned sources are more than reliable, they are written by senior historians. I can accept that specific page numbers are not mentioned and I can certainly provide that but this should not be the basis to manipulate the identity of the community, which this user has done. A martial community with history dating back to more than thousands of years is not worth of a couple of lines that he has left the page with. He is misusing the editing privileges and I look forward to gain support from senior editors like you. I would once again request to revert and increase restrictions if at all I cannot be provided with special editing rights.

Disruptive edits on 2024 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election page

Hello! I am writing this to bring to your notice about the disruptive edits being made by User:Ritwik Mahata on the 2024 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election page. Despite being given repeated warnings of not doing such edits, he repeatedly disregards all other editors to edit the page as per his liking. He is continuously adding candidates of parties which have not won a single seat in Jharkhand Legislative Assembly in the past decade.

Despite being called out by other editors to avoid doing so, he continues to add them. When called out, he responds by saying "You cannot decide which parties are major and which are not".

Therefore, please take a look at the page and consider suitable actions against the said user at the earliest to prevent edit wars. Thanks and regards! FlyJet777 (talk) 19:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Daniel Case,

Even after repeated warnings RITWIK MAHATA is adding candidates of a political party (Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha) which has zero seats in Jharkhand Legislative Assembly, and trying to portray them as main contenders in 2024 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election page. There are many political parties in India, we cannot add all parties candidates in the page. Alliance members of Mahagathbandhan and National Democratic Alliance have won 47 and 30 seats (out of 81 seats) respectively in 2019 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election, they are considered as main contenders. There are no other parties and alliances which have won significant number of seats to be considered as main contenders. Issue was discussed in Talk page and no one agreed with his argument. Can you please help? Sachin126 (talk) 06:00, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I am facing the same problem with him while editing the article. He hasn't really changed his behavior and keeps reverting trying to introduce this new alliance called Janmat which has no seats, mostly of parties which don't have recognition or even articles and that I don't think anyone else agrees about including them. MrMkG (talk) 16:00, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Parties & alliances

@Daniel Case

Please look into this matter :

Editor named Ankur0745 has removed sourced content of a third alliance from Parties & alliances section of Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election. Also he/she is commenting that " Disruptive edit reverted" in edit summary. Before he/she also done this after reverting his edit. Ritwik Mahata 20:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello sir, I Just wanted to inform that the content that I removed was only this editor. Nobody was mentioning JANMAT Alliance and as of now the editors didn't add the alliance, I can say that I removed the content that was added by Ritwik Mahata. Which was clearly disruptive as many editors like FlyJet777 complaint about it. Thanks Ankur0745 (talk) 10:28, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case

He/She has cleared his/her thought about removing a sourced content. Please look into this matter. Ritwik Mahata 12:38, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Reading the most recent talk page discussion, it looks like consensus is against you. You can always request a third opinion speaking directly to this. Daniel Case (talk) 15:46, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

The matter:

There is a third alliance named JANMAT consisting 10 political parties in upcoming 2024 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election. I had mentioned it in Parties & alliances section of that article with two reliable sources. As it is from reliable sources no editor has written against this edit of me in the talk page of that article. Even there is no discussion about this matter in the talk page. I couldn't understand what consensus you have found against me about this matter which has not been discussed in the talk page of that article.

My compain is that the editor named Ankur0745 has removed that sourced content.

In this section of your talk page he/she clearly expressed his thought about removing that content -

Nobody was mentioning JANMAT Alliance and as of now the editors didn't add the alliance

He/She has removed it only because I (ID:RITWIK MAHATA) added that content (with two reliable sources). Ritwik Mahata 16:50, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Ok I can add it again, Please withdrew this complaint as I restored it but discuss about in the article talk page about this Ankur0745 (talk) 17:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Ritwik Mahata 17:50, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I thought you guys had resolved that. But anyway, I'm not the person to ask, even if I knew the nuances of Indian state and federal election law and procedure (and administrators aren't supposed to resolve content issues like that where it is based on local consensus).

Re: page "Russians at War" that you've protected

Dear @Daniel Case, I am impressed with your expertise in Wiki editing so I hope for a neutral look at the stalemate between editors on the Russians at War page, which you've protected from public editing. As one critic from Roger Ebert described it, this film "became … the subject of mass protests outside the venue (of the festivals) by supporters of Ukraine believing it to be mere propaganda (none of whom had seen the film), and even members of Trudeau’s government excoriating the festival for playing the film at all . The film was screened only in Venice, twice at TIFF under strict security and in Winsor since Ukrainian protests suppressed its public screening at other festivals. None of the Misplaced Pages editors who call it "propaganda" (User:0lida0, Stoptheprop, User:Manyareasexpert) have seen it – they don’t deny it. These three editors constantly ignore helpful and well-sourced suggestions from other editors, even though some of these editors saw the film and spoke to reviewers from the media.

I was one of the few lucky people who watched the film. After reviewing its reception in media, I compiled a comprehensive and well-structured page for this film (with 87 sources and with sections according to other Wiki pages on films). The current version is outdated, doesn't include recent festivals-related events and has only 47 sources. If you investigate this matter, please, please compare my version of the page at User:EVS-VR with the current version Russians at War. My previous versions are all in the history of edits of the Talk page of Russians at War; they are used by other editors to verify sources and propose new versions. So naturally, there is similarity between pieces submitted by various editors. The majority of editors working on this page are not extended editors, so we had to ask extended editors, such as User:UrbanVillager and User:Manyareasexpert, to change something on the page. The User:UrbanVillager made several attempts to post my version of the page but User:Manyareasexpert, who mainly edited the matter related to Ukraine and so does not have neutrality position here, constantly reverts the changes made by other editor User:UrbanVillager. So I saw at least four loops of posting texts taken from my version by User:UrbanVillager and reversing the changes by User:Manyareasexpert, back and forth, back and forth. Using their superiority in this situation, User:Manyareasexpert adds references from people who admittedly haven't seen the film but ignores 40 sources that I proposed to be mentioned on the page. Now the page remains badly outdated, and the matter of Release at the festivals, description of the film, and Reception, i.e. the classically separate section in the film's description - all mixed up in one soup right from the introduction of the page. Please have a look.

To underline: all my sources are Western media specialists and Western journalists, so they are neutral in terms of WP:RUSUKR issue, whereas all three editors (User:0lida0, Stoptheprop, User:Manyareasexpert) vandalizing the proposed edits show a pro-Ukrainian uninformed (haven't seen the film) bias. I am sympathetic with Ukrainians fighting Russian aggression but here they simply react to the noise without knowing what this is about, throwing the baby with the water. Anti-war films shouldn’t be edited by the sides that are involved in the war, as both sides will scream “propaganda”. I, therefore, kindly ask you to compare the two versions of the page and to intervene, letting Western journalists be heard, as part of the "Reception" section of this film's wiki page. Thank you, Daniel, for reading it, I appreciate how busy you must be with having many messy pages and requests like this. I hope you will find time to assist in decision making regarding this page. Yours truly, EVS-VR (talk) 04:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Seeking Guidance on Content Review

Hi @Daniel Case, regarding the last protection on the Qaboos_bin_Said page, I am reaching out to seek your guidance on handling an ongoing issue with this page, since 2006, personal life section has been subject to continuous edits by multiple editors, many of which include content that I believe does not fully comply with Misplaced Pages's core policies.

Many contributions rely on poorly sourced material, including opinion-based sources that may not meet the standards outlined in WP:PUBLICFIGURE, and I've discussed this in details previously with @Ip says in his/her talk page.

I am open for a discussion among editors to achieve a solution that aligns with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines and I would appreciate your advice on the best way to address this issue. Should a formal content review be initiated, or is there a recommended step I can take to ensure that the section reflects sourced, neutral, and balanced content? Itshrabkhan (talk) 05:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

You were trying to engage me in an editwar. I think you're quite familiar and experienced enough with WP: rules and guidelines to know how it's done here. Ip says: Work Better yes. (talk) 16:02, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey again @Daniel Case,

I’m reaching out to ask for your assistance in reviewing the ongoing situation on the Sultan's Talk page. There has been a recurring issue regarding the inclusion of claims about the Sultan’s sexuality, which contradicts the outcomes of a previous RFC (Request for Comment). As per the RFC's consensus, it was decided to exclude claims about the Sultan's sexuality. This decision was made to ensure compliance with Misplaced Pages's guidelines regarding privacy and verifiability.

However, I’ve notesed that users Contaldo80 and Cagliost have consistently attempted to repost these claims despite the clear consensus established in the RFC. This has led to repeated edits and edit warring, which seems to disregard the RFC outcome.

Given the ongoing nature of this issue, I would appreciate it if you could review the situation on the Talk page, particularly the RFC discussion and its outcomes in Talk:Qaboos bin Said/Archive 2 and Talk:Qaboos bin Said/Archive 3. It’s important that the consensus be respected and enforced.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Itshrabkhan (talk) 10:58, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

OK, I'll take a look. Daniel Case (talk) 18:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

The problem with those discussions being relevant to the current dispute is that they both took place while BLP was still relevant: in the first case he was still alive; in the second he had died within the previous six months so BDP applied. It's been four years and BLP does not apply anymore, barring some consensus that the circumstances demand an extension of the six months. If you still wish to exclude it, its inclusion will have to be attacked on some other grounds. Daniel Case (talk) 18:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying the BLP policy application in this context. I appreciate your guidance on looking into this matter.

Given that BLP no longer applies, I would like to raise additional points some in which were related to the previous RFCs outcomes that may justify reviewing the inclusion of these allegations or rumours:

Weak and Speculative Sources: the sources used to support these allegations appear to lack credibility or rely on speculation, as they are primarily rumor-based or come from less authoritative outlets. According to Misplaced Pages’s policies, sources need to be both reliable and independent, especially for contentious claims. Regardless of whether these claims are sourced, rumors—without robust evidence—remain unsubstantiated and can detract from the article’s quality.

_{Source number based on assumptions. Source number based on the claims of only three people, not to mention that one of them has been arrested in 1994. Source number based on believes. Source number quoted from a book and the book writer quoted from "Graham Diaries" but none of the Diaries published by Oxford University Press contain the quote, which conclude that Tony Molesworth actually perhaps didn’t mention anything regarding Qaboos private life.}

Lack of Significance to the Subject's Legacy: These allegations don’t seem to add substantial value or relevance to the overall article. Readers are unlikely to gain meaningful insight from unproven claims that lack significance to the individual’s contributions or public image. Misplaced Pages’s policies emphasizes giving appropriate weight to content, and I believe the article might benefit from excluding material that doesn’t contribute substantively.

Cultural Context and Sensitivity: It’s important to consider the cultural implications of LGBT-related content, especially given that this individual is from an Arab country where such topics are often highly sensitive or legally restricted. Misplaced Pages policies, allow coverage of controversial topics; however, we should still ensure the content serves an encyclopedic purpose rather than merely presenting information that could be perceived as culturally inflammatory or out of place.

In light of these points, I believe it might be worth re-evaluating whether this content genuinely meets Misplaced Pages’s standards for relevance, neutrality, and verifiability. Itshrabkhan (talk) 06:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

OK, you've obviously put some thought into this. However, I'm not the one to decide this ... you should open this discussion again on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 06:31, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

It's been a while

But no worries, I'm back with another friendly request for your assistance, if you could please help RD2 this gensex vio. Thanks as always :) Raladic (talk) 05:10, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Daniel Case (talk) 00:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Another one, same talk page. I honestly think there'll be an ongoing barrage of this for the coming time. I'm also confused why the OS admins have not actually cleaned up the redir discussion and related notice that also went on the talk page, feels a bit concerning that they're just leaving clear violations as is. Raladic (talk) 15:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

I took care of the talk page revisions. As for the redirect ... I thought about salting it but, it's a common enough name and what, say, would happen if a rookie baseball pitcher or NASCAR driver came up next season with it (OK, it would be easy enough to leave it to an EC editor to be allowed to create it, but still ...).

Then I wondered ... are there any existing Tim McBrides who might be notable enough to start an article on? I looked around ... maybe this guy might be? Or his book? (We don't have to have an article on him per se, just something that would justify a redirect).

This guy goes by Timothy, but that could also justify a redirect to an article on him. Daniel Case (talk) 20:53, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks and fair point on the salting. I just hope it doesn’t get recreated by someone and pointed there again by someone with malicious intent.

So yes if there was indeed an article as a valid justified target we could point it to, that could mitigate it potentially. Raladic (talk) 21:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I think that first guy, the Saltwater Cowboy ex-drug smuggler, looks good. The Times reviewed his book, and I found a MassLive article about him. But I'd feel comfortable with more.

Both of them would be even better; we'd cover both Tim and Timothy (we should see how much the latter guy's work gets cited by others on Google Scholar). Daniel Case (talk) 21:16, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I got it now. Thanks. Daniel Case (talk) 07:32, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

The Sarah McBride saga continues. A lot of editors who may not be familiar with our policies on deadnaming and misgendering have repeated various transphobic messages by Nancy Mace at this new article Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act. I just submitted the page for Arbitration enforcement at RPP Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase#Protecting_Women's_Private_Spaces_Act if you have a moment, unless another admin gets there first and did a roundhouse cleanup of various instances of misgendering in the article, but it might be hard to track down all the edits that created them for RD, so hopefully just adding the arbitration enforcement makes it clear to users not to repeat them again. Raladic (talk) 05:14, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I was sort of hoping the article was going to be deleted—that would have solved a lot of problems. Doesn't look like it now, though.

Because one of those problems is that GENDERID is, as written, strictly applicable to what we say in Misplaced Pages's voice. I do not think it applies to quoting other people misgendering the person in question when it's clearly attributed to those people. There are other ways of dealing with that in the article—I would think most of those examples just aren't necessary, and might better be dealt with more generally.

Also, arguably, it's POV to paraphrase someone's statements as "misgendering" Rep.-elect McBride. You and I and quite a few others would see it that way, but Marjorie Taylor Greene, for one, would not. We could perhaps be better just stating that more factually and neutrally, with something like "Rep. Greene and others used male pronouns in reference to McBride".

And in the long (perhaps not so long) run we should find some way of addressing the issue of quoted misgendering in policy. Because, yes, leaving quotes untouched opens the door to the kind of coatracking like this in an attempt to bypass GENDERID. Daniel Case (talk) 05:49, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

That's a fair point, for the most part I just removed those quotes as they were really not necessary as you also said to make the point of the article. But also the scope of the article as it stands is quite fuzzy (as I already brought up in the RM and AfD since it's really about Transphobia in the House and likely will continue to grow (baring CRYSTALBALL in mind of course). I guess we'll see what becomes of the article. But for starters, hoping that at least red-tag arbs enforcement makes it clear to editors that they should not just willy-nilly repeat slurs in the article, just because they were made. Raladic (talk) 05:56, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

It's really about more than Mace's bill, TBH—there's no way that passes, much less gets voted on, before Congress adjourns, and we usually don't consider bills that don't get voted on notable. Daniel Case (talk) 06:04, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Long time, no see

Hi Daniel,

I think it's been since George Santos went to Washington since we've crossed paths. I'm asking you about my minor problem since I think you might be the only person with the proper background. I've been placing most of ROY KLOTZ's pics for a dozen years now - from back when he was an octogenarian - and haven't really had any problems. Maybe a few pix in Bergen County with the same name (different addresses), a covered bridge in Ohio where everything was known except the name and location, and the worst case - my favorite pic of his got lost somehow. It was him and his family in front of a long washed out Peruvian railroad with a school bus converted into a trolley car ready to take them straight down the mountain. Six months after I posted it the whole article disappeared without a trace! But, hey! no problem --- 999 done out of a thousand is pretty good in most leagues.

This one is a bit different though. The Electric City Building in Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pa was listed on the NRHP (I thought it was a long time ago!), but there's not even an article on it yet. There's lots of pix at . For the small pic at the county NRHP list I thought I'd concentrate on the big sign up top as being the most striking part. But in either the building or the sign category, there are some other good pix, e.g. from Carol M. Highsmith and myself. I finally decided that Highsmith's was too dark for the small space on the list, and therefore selected mine. I hate to tell Roy that I thought my pic was better than his. Could you go to the category and objectively pick the best pic for the spot?

And as long as you are there the last 4 pix Roy has uploaded at should be checked for posting. Any help appreciated. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 21:58, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

I agree with you. Without even looking at the author, your photo stands out among those that show the whole building and fill most of the frame. Roy's is a little overexposed and needs perspective correction.

I'm glad you wrote, actually — I have been meaning to let you know that I have done quite a lot of those library pictures you were soliciting some time back, the "one inside, one outside" pics for every library on the planet. Check out the libraries categories for Dutchess, Orange and Ulster counties on Commons. And there are still some more to come. Daniel Case (talk) 03:24, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

LTA

Hi Daniel Case, I am a globally active dewiki administrator.

While reviewing a dewiki vandalism report, I've seen that there are multiple ranges blocked at enwiki, for instance 151.135.128.0/18 and 78.163.128.0/18.

Both ranges are now blocked on dewiki too, but I still don't have much information about this LTA, thats why I kindly ask you to give me some more details. Does this LTA have a name and/or a documentation page? Is there an abusefilter? Was there an ANI-discussion with further information? Do you know other ranges?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Best regards, TenWhile6 10:47, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I see they're now both globally locked. Looking at the contribs, I remember this one as being based in Turkey (I think) and fanatical about making well-intended yet disruptive edits to articles about automotive engines until we just had to do this.

Is there any way you could help other admins with recognizing rd requiring edits

Hey, another one that needs cleaning up please. Sad that an experienced editor even does something like this.

I was wondering on a general basis how many of the other admins seem to just ignore our policies around this and might revert something like this, but they don't clean it up with RD, even though it's clear policy. Is there some kind of channel you have among the admins to maybe help raise this to make them aware of it, so they help RD content violations like this, so it doesn't just fall on a handful of admins like yourself to then have to go and clean up after it? Raladic (talk) 15:42, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Well ... this is not yet policy really. It's only because ArbCom said we could (but not that we have to) that I do it.

I suppose we could add something to MOS:GENDERID, WP:GENSEX, WP:REVDEL and the various MOS templates (TW/TM/NB). But that second one, really, might be better justified with another ArbCom amendment request. Daniel Case (talk) 16:33, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I added some instructions on how to handle it to the MOS:DEADNAME section for now at WP:RVDEADNAME. Hopefully this at least will help make it more common for people to have a place on how it should typically be handled.

I think the ArbCom amendment request could also be a good idea, though I'm wondering if that should be rolled up into a larger case about some of the prevailing Transphobia on Misplaced Pages, not just by vandals coming here for deadnaming, which, while annoying, is relatively straightforward, but the more complex cases of constant civil POV pushing by some editors who are clearly trying to use Misplaced Pages to advance their WP:FRINGE anti-trans organizations. But so far, I've only dealt with some AE cases to get some editors that very clearly stepped over the line TBANNED, but I've never handled drafting of a complex ArbCom case to try to see if the general guidelines around this could be tightened, so I'm not quite sure on where to start even.

Russians at War page

Hello! Hope you're well. I notice you've been active on the Russians at War page. Two of the accounts that have been involved in vandalism and edit warring have been banned by admins for sockpuppetry. In light of that information could we please revert the page to the previous, balanced version instead of the current version that is essentially a whitewashed piece of PR propaganda for the film, written by the now-banned socks.

This is the version we need:

Er, we're allowed to make constructive edit requests on talk pages. Stoptheprop (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I also see that one of the now-banned users petitioned your personal page in an attempt to get you on side. These were the previous discussions about the need to restore the earlier version of the page (which is still, in my opinion, a version very biased in favour of the film but still better than the current mess).

Please could you advise me on how to get editors eyes on it as my previous requests to restore the original version of the page are thus far being ignored. Stoptheprop (talk) 02:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

I'd suggest you go to one of the project noticeboards and get someone there to take a look. As it is, I should note, your username is not exactly implying a commitment to NPOV. Now, you may well be correct in your assessment, but I think we'd all be more comfortable if that edit was made by someone seen as having no dog in the fight.

Hey, in the latest AfD for this article the participants suggested that the redirect would be restored, as it was redirected to another page after a merge. Do I have your permission to undelete this page? Fathoms Below (talk) 18:02, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I just restored it to a redirect and blocked the editor who had recreated it. No worries. Daniel Case (talk) 18:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I would've done a long p-block for that account from that page, but a 24 hour block also might work. Fathoms Below (talk) 18:05, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

They haven't been blocked before, ever. This might get their attention, and going against the results of a closed AfD is not something we just let go. So let's see what they do once it expires. Daniel Case (talk) 18:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Persistent edit warring

Hello @Daniel Case hope you're well. On November 5th I made an WP:ANI report regrading this editor ], ] who has a long history of WP:battleground on Balkan related topics and a were reported several times already i.e ], in some cases for personal attacks or harassment on other editors ], but so far there was no action against them, what they do after they get reported is that they don't respond on the issues they are involved in, lay low for a month or so and continue with the same behaviour. Example is on Niš page where they already broke the strict 1rr rule in 24h applied on this page (yellow banner when you click edit source) ] - ], ], ] and continued to leave comments on a talk page like this ], can something be done? Thank you. Theonewithreason (talk) 09:39, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

"Let sources speak for themselves"

Hi. TropicAces is removing sourced info and writing "let sources does (I think they mean "speak") for themselves" as their reason. I had already pointed this out and warned them about it when I first saw them doing this back in October, but they seem unable to understand that writing reliably sourced information without any synthesis doesn't mean that we don't let sources "does for themselves". They don't care to check their talk page but maybe an admin could draw their attention. ภץאคгöร 12:27, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Looking at the article's talk page, where another editor is also taking their side, it seems like this is a genuine content dispute best resolved by seeking consensus. Daniel Case (talk) 19:27, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Can you please solve this issue? Jino john1996 (talk) 11:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

No, that's what the talk page is for, and reverting during discussion is generally frowned upon. It looks to me like consensus is against you. Daniel Case (talk) 16:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Ip disruptive editing, etc.

Hi Daniel Case, sorry for bothering you but I have realised that you have partially blocked this IP 92.53.12.235 from the page Rožaje with an expiration time of 3 months for disruptive editing. Now the same IP continues its disruptive editing, incl. edit warring, nationalist editing etc. on the article Hristo Uzunov. I thing this is WP:SPA and its block may be expanded on this article too. Greetings. Jingiby (talk) 17:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I think you meant Georgi Sugarev? I've added that to the block on the range (we cannot block it as an SPA because it's an IP). Daniel Case (talk) 17:58, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

PotC

Hi Daniel, I know I'm circumventing process here, so I'm happy to go through RFPP if necessary, but the same IP range that led to you protecting Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is also active at Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, where they are also disregarding requests to discuss the matter rather than trying to force through their changes. Again, happy to go through RFPP if that's your preference, but figured reaching out directly might be more expeditious. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 21:07, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Balush, again

Hi, as you G12-deleted Balush (tribe) a few days ago, I just wanted to note that it got recreated today (again with a lot of copyright violations and close paraphrasing). I've removed the problematic parts, if you want to go for a copyvio revdel. I have a strong suspicion that the content was copy-pasted from last time, as it still had tags dating from November, although I can't see the deleted version.

Disruptive edits by IP range

Hey, how have you been? You have blocked that IP range from Rožaje and Georgi Sugarev. The same IP range has been making disruptive edits on Šar mountains as well, even after a semi-protection there expired. Would you consider extending the block to the Šar mountains article as well? Ktrimi991 (talk) 17:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I have extended the block to that article and lengthened it another week (otherwise it would be fairly short). Daniel Case (talk) 21:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Yup. Guess who put it there? Daniel Case (talk) 03:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Ha! I had forgotten about it. Also, if time permits, can you keep an eye on the article and its talk page? I am preparing an RfC, though if will take a month or more to be closed by an uninvolved editor. Given the edit warring, the rejection of proposals for a "middle ground" solution, the refusal of one or two editors to open an RfC, and the reversion of my restoration of the pre-dispute version before the RfC, there might be trouble even after the RfC. In the past I have seen cases where editors did not accept an RfC conclusion, or in case of a "No consensus" closure, did not agree their version was not the pre-dispute/stable one. An admin keeping an eye would be of help. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 15:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk page access for a blocked range

Hello, Daniel. On 19 August you removed talk page access from a blocked IP range, 203.37.238.0/23. There is no doubt whatever that you were perfectly right to stop the person responsible from having talk page access. However, the editing which led to loss of talk page access came from just 2 IP addresses in the range 203.37.239.48/29, and it all took place within 2 weeks in August. I don't think it's necessary to keep the block on the whole /23 range for almost 3 years, because of that short-term vandalism from a tiny proportion of the range. I would remove the talk page block completely, but at the very least it could be reduced to a much shorter time on a much smaller range. JBW (talk) 19:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Yalda

The Yaldā Night article is still being disrupted - I can't revert anymore but the latest addition by a Mahdighor9 is unsourced (I removed the info earlier today since it lacked a reference). Increasing protection should be considered. Semsûrî (talk) 23:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Well ... I'm not going to go to EC on the basis of just that one edit by a user who hasn't edited since July. You should at least ask them on the talk page/their talk page to provide a source first.

And if you think sockpuppetry is going on, you should get evidence together and open an SPI. Daniel Case (talk) 00:08, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

and I think this editor needs to be blocked. See also . I presume you've noticed the revert(s) on your talk page. Doug Weller talk 10:25, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

As Spider6man has been blocked for a while, I don't think we need to go that far. And I am really leery of raising an existing protection level for a short term as until we allow layering of protections, because as it is when the short-term full protection expires the article goes completely unprotected.

Though the protection was short, the vandal has not returned to that page since. I'm keeping an eye out as I plan to do some more editing there. However, they have been stalking the pages I have been contributing to and vandalizing them. These pages include the Stew peas page and most recently Jamaican cuisine, which I am currently editing. The user in question is 2600:1011:B014:6B0D:3CF4:B57:BEA1:DD67. I would really appreciate your assistance in blocking this disruptive and abusive user.

AfC redirects and categories

Would you have any objections to lifting the pending-changes protection at Misplaced Pages:Articles for creation/Redirects and Misplaced Pages:Articles for creation/Categories? Since pending-changes requires every edit from a new user to be manually signed off on, it creates a pretty significant extra burden on reviewers (the review log for the redirects page has gotten ~2400 entries in ~7 months), and I'm not sure the benefits really outweigh that, especially since all the requests have to be subsequently reviewed anyway.

Potential Assistance

I was going to request a little bit of help finding some information on my ongoing expansion of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, however I need to put that request aside for now. Over the years there have been aggressive confrontations on a fringe topic here on Misplaced Pages (WikiProject: Cryptozoology). Couple years ago I had a debate with him about keeping the project and, considering I did not know as much as I did now, I tried requesting help off site on the Cryptid Wiki. I have since realized that was a mistake, as I didn't really understand all the rules here at the time and I own up to that as a continual part of my growth on here. The user still goes on and off with confrontations with other editors (some pretty amateurish and not knowing all the guidelines here) and he has recently went off on the "List of Cryptids" talk page and I tried to step in to calm the situation (poorly). He has now been resorting to making demeaning remarks and accusations about me and anyone associated with the project, which is unacceptable. I did not know who else to turn to about this, as I have very little conflicts on here and I am not entirely sure if he is stalking me as well. Paleface Jack (talk) 04:04, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

This user has been caught lobbying off-site for at least one website () and the user has quite likely done more that hasn't been exposed. The user should be topic banned for not only WP:MEATPUPPETry but also Misplaced Pages:Disruptive editing, a long-term attempt at converting the site to be as favorable as possible to the fringe subculture for which the editor is a member. Users this editor appears to have organized or invited off site continue to harass and wikilawyr against anyone looking to add WP:RS to these articles. They consistently lobby in a manor favorable to the WP:FRINGE subculture. Enough is enough. :bloodofox: (talk) 05:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

If this is so, could you bring it to WP:AN/I instead of my talk page? Daniel Case (talk) 05:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Blocking user after page protection request

Hi Daniel!

This is purely a question for my own curiosity.

I note that instead of protecting the pages, you blocked the user in question instead.

Considering it was a different IP address each time, how do you manage to block all of them at once? I would request that in future to save you the work of going through all those requests I made!

Thank you ... I was going to tell you about this; I have been thinking about writing a guide to page protection for both reviewing admins and reporting editors. This would be one of the things I'd discuss. (Get ready for a minor lesson in wide-area computer networking ... don't worry, I'm not this kind of techie; it's only things I've had to learn)

You'll notice that it was an IPv6 address ... one of those long ones, all beginning with a four-digit string beginning with "2", with lots of colon-separated numbers that you can't memorize like you can with the older IPv4s (the four numbers, 0-255, separated by dots). You mentioned in your reports that the IP varied only slightly each time.

This suggested to me, as it would to any seasoned admin who reviews page-protection requests and reports to AIV, that it would be the same user on an ISP-allocated dynamic IP. ISPs like the v6 IPs because it allows them to allocate more capacity to individual users.

Usually this means an individual user gets an IP range, indicated by the CIDR "/64" afterwards and zeroes in the last several colon-separated fields, allowing the ISP's networking software to move them around between as many as 512 different individual IPs. As you can imagine, this makes blocking a single IP ineffective—a problem we had, and continue to have, with IPv4 addresses as well.

So, we are allowed to block ranges as well. It used to be something we'd leave to those with the appropriate arcane knowledge, but today we have a tool anyone can use to calculate those ranges (MediaWiki allows us to block IPv6 ranges as wide as /32, which can be thousands of addresses).

With IPv6es like the ones you reported, it's even easier. We now almost always just block the /64 instead of the single IP unless it's clear there's a lot of other people using it. As that page explains, you can just open the IP's contribution history, and append "/64" to the address in the browser bar that displays the URL, then hit enter. Once you do you will see all the contributions made from that range. Sometimes I've found through that method that an IP whose edits to the article that triggered the report would not by themselves trigger anything more than a warning have made an even greater pain of themselves on other articles where they didn't get reported, and worse happens to them.

So, I hope you have learned something that will be useful in the future. Daniel Case (talk) 20:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Daniel, that has been incredibly useful to know!

Good luck with the page that I no doubt believe you will create following your brilliant explanation to me.

Take Care,

Comments on an AIV report

Hi, Daniel. You declined a bot report at AIV, saying "intent was good-faith". However, the logged actions included repeated attempts to do this article hijacking, and I really find it difficult to see that as good-faith. JBW (talk) 21:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Alright ... I hadn't looked that far down in the filter log; my assessment was based on their most recent edits (now and then). Since they seem to have been deterred from further editing in any event, our most important goal—preventing further disruption—seems to have been met. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I agree, and that's why I just left it, rather than blocking. However, I thought it might be worth mentioning, as something to look out for in future. Obviously we aren't going to check every single entry in a long filter log (or in a long editing history, in a different case) but I think it's worth checking at least one or two of the earlier ones, rather than only the latest ones.

Translation

Hello, I saw your nick at WP:TRLA. Are you still available? I have problem with translating short Russian text. Sławobóg (talk) 16:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Sure ... no problem! Daniel Case (talk) 22:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

This is related to Slavic mythology article I'm working on, this will be quoted in the article:

Вдуновение бессмертное, нестареющее один вдувает Вседержитель, который один бессмертен и Творец не погибающих. Ибо Он „вдунул ему в лицо дух жизни и стал человек душою живую“. Это тебе не Род, который, сидя на воздухе, мечет на землю комья, из которых рождаются дети, и ещё: ангелы поднимают душу , или ещё: иному из людей или ангелов Бог суд передаст, как некоторые из еретиков говорят по книгам сарацинским и от проклятых болгар. <…> Ибо всем есть Творец Бог, а не Род.

OK ... I will be able to get to it later; I have administrative patrol work to do right now. Daniel Case (talk) 22:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

You blocked this editor for 24 hrs but after return Jokerrockonmoon is still persistently making disruptive edits and I have warned twice since and do not think Jokerrockonmoon will stop. RangersRus (talk) 10:49, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Blocked for 48 hours this time. Daniel Case (talk) 16:34, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
