==That IP is back again==
Hi Callanecc. I don't think the IP 62.44.135.196 and its IP sock are Vgleer puppets.

==Arbitration enforcement action appeal by <Kafkasmurat>==

<small>''Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found ]. According to the procedures, a "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action. <p>To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sections but should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see ]).''</small>

; Appealing user : {{userlinks|<Kafkasmurat>}} – ] (]) 10:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

; Sanction being appealed : <one revert per twenty four hours>

; Administrator imposing the sanction : {{admin|<Callanecc>}}

; Notification of that administrator : ''The appealing editor is asked to notify the administrator who made the enforcement action of this appeal, and then to replace this text with a ] of that notification. The appeal may not be processed otherwise. If a block is appealed, the editor moving the appeal to this board should make the notification.''

===Statement by <Kafkasmurat>===

I'm now thinking that first settlers' reign at politically controversial articles. Isn't that weird Armenia- Azerbaijan related articles has so many interference? The owners of Armenia related articles don't allow anything to do. Nearly all of talk page edits are reverted. How will we become a 💕 with ethnic struggles? I didn't harm Misplaced Pages. I just offended the owners. We should examine the right to requests_for_arbitration of users like ], who specialized at ethnic manipulation. I was just providing information with sources. I'didn't attack anyone. Just told that all of the users edits are anti-Turkish. It's not attack, it's fact. I appeal the sanctions, to be lifted.--] (]) 10:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

*This appeal belongs at ] as it was imposed there and I don't feel comfortable overturning a sanction imposed by consensus even though technically I can. Also your statement does absolutely nothing to suggest that you understand the reasons you were sanctioned. In particular statements such as "Just told that all of the users edits are anti-Turkish" show a blatant misunderstanding of the ] and ]. To be very clear you tell any editor that they are anti-Turkish it is a personal attack and so will be met with a block of up to a month. You are treading on thin ice, if you break through there are blocks and a topic ban as was stated by commenting admins in the enforcement request. <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 11:39, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Callanecc, where's the best venue to have this examined? ] (]) 20:40, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

== WP:ANI ==

Hi there, would you be prepared to have another look at the block of ]. As mentioned on that thread, I'd agree that the stuff POD was reverting was a clear BLP violation (not to mention that it comes from a user with a history of dubious sourcing and borderline racist diatribe; I really don't think that article is one that an editor who thinks that "Misplaced Pages is a platform for Islamic extremism" should be editing anyway...). Thanks, ] (]) 14:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
*Callanecc, it's been a few hours. I just happened upon the ANI thread and spent the last twenty minutes looking at the article history and the various diffs. I agree with {{U|Black Kite}}, whose position is supported by {{U|Hijiri88}}. I hope you don't mind (you're probably doing something real right now or you would have responded already), but I'm going to unblock PoD, since I believe they were correct in their BLP invocation; the minor incivilities on either side weren't given as a reason for the block and they were minor anyway. Given your edit notice also I feel confident that you won't mind terribly. Thanks, ] (]) 17:23, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

== Tom Butler ==
I think you made a mistake imposing a topic ban at ] without even addressing the canvassing that occurred in this case. There really is the appearance that a half dozen editors who focus on pseudoscientific topics can get anyone who opposes them topic banned or blocked for "disruptive" behavior (defined as disagreement). I can't think of another subject area on Misplaced Pages where 6 or 7 editors have the power to get editors who don't agree with them kicked out. And people wonder why editors with a neutral point of view have avoided editing certain articles...no one wants to contradict the small majority and get blocked. If not at SPI, then at AN/I or AE. IMHO. <font face="Rage Italic" size="4" color="#800080">]</font> <sup><font face="Times New Roman" color="#006400">] ]</font></sup> 15:59, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
:As a few admins who work at AE have said canvassing isn't really that much of a problem as it's the admins who make the call not based on the number of editors who comment which I for one wouldn't even be able to guess at. We look for the evidence presented and work from there. <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 23:24, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

== Anjem Choudary Edit War ==

Hello. I'm here because I've noticed you have banned one user ] for an edit war for actions on ]. I would like ask you to consider futher investigation. It's not that I disagree with the ban but I question if there's a balance of fairness in this ban. This is the second edit war with many of the same people involved. The previous one took place on . At this point I do not feel that an edit war is the only disruptive editing taking place. With that I'm not sure this ban will effectively do anything but prevent one user from editing for 36 hours.] (]) 18:26, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
*The user was blocked, not banned. I agree that a 36-hour block on what appears to be pretty much an SPA account might not be enough. ] (]) 18:33, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
::Pardon I actually meant block when I said ban. I don't know what you mean by SPA. While this particular user has certainly earned a 36 hour block if not more, I think this situation does call for more. It really has got out of hand. I'm not asking you block anyone else.
I'm just saying that only one thing was addressed. I'm asking you to get involved in any content dispute. I think behavoir on both ends may have lead to this. I think it does need to be addressed. I could have been a major contributing factor. I don't think I have but I could have been. I'd just ask you consider the over all situation and see if you feel anything else should be addressed.] (]) 19:37, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
:Drmies meant that {{u|Atsme}} is a ] so that they'll be back after their block has expired. I agree mostly however I'd rather wait and see what they do after their block expires. If they continue with the same sort of behaviour I'll long term or indef them but I'd rather give them a chance to see what will happen first. <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 23:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
::Exactly. The articles they work on are hotbeds of POV editing, and I have yet to see them being productive. I looked at behavior and content only narrowly--narrow enough to establish that Parrot of Doom was correct in reverting them. (Admins typically stay out of content discussions, but in such cases you have to look carefully to see if someone correctly invokes BLP policy, for instance, during an edit war.) I saw two problematic editors and I will be keeping an eye on the matter: the article is as yet salvageable through normal means, as far as I can tell right now. Thank you, and Callanecc, thanks for this and the message above. ] (]) 23:55, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
:::I particularly disagree that Atsme is SPA. I think disruptive behavoir however will continue when she returns. It may not be edit warring however she has done more than that. for instance I think can be seen on ]. There was forum shopping. The thing is I don't think she is trying to be a disruptive editor. She seems very much to be a new user that got ran off before and came back to try again. The behavoir of others hasn't been ideal either. While I think she paved the way for uncivility, the fact is two wrongs do not make a right. If you adress her behavoir but not that of everyone else then I don't feel your action will make her take stock and adjust accordingly.] (]) 00:04, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

== Block Evasion ==

LimosaCorel, who you blocked today for sockpuppeting, is evading his block by editing from a new IP address, http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/2606:6000:80C1:6900:C27:5D5A:F5A1:705B He has so far, already reverted one editor, http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Ash_Wednesday&diff=598239846&oldid=598238687 after being unable to edit with his account on the same page, http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Ash_Wednesday&diff=598217112&oldid=598208511

This is weird. You announced a block and the user hasn't edited since but there is nothing in the block log. This was pointed out to me by another user and I did the usual cache clearing, so I don't think I am seeing an old version.


== Tech News: 2025-03 ==
No harm is occurring and there doesn't seem to be any need to take any sort of action, but I am curious as to whether the log has some sort of bug, there was an error in the blocking (which might mean that a typo blocked someone else) or whether I am wrong about the cache and am looking at on old version. --] (]) 17:01, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

* The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See ] for more details and a timeline.

Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to ''not'' clean up your <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">]</bdi> until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.


'''Meetings and events'''
Hi Callan, it's generally preferable to leave high-profile articles like this unprotected as far as possible, and to protect it only for short spells if protection is necessary, because it's thought that articles on breaking news events help to recruit new editors, and because many IPs have constructive edits to offer even if there is a bit of disruption. Would you consider unprotecting it? Thanks, ] &#124; ] 22:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

], you mentioned in your notification on my Talk Page that I could bring up any questions, so I wanted to run something by you. Keeping my edits to Sheldrake at a minimum still resulted in profound hostility, and even abstaining from the page has not stopped harassing behavior (]). I was in the process of dealing with this problematic conduct by certain Sheldrake editors (this included those from my ANI and potential future actions against 76) and had hoped to pursue means to resolve this kind of problem in the future. However, now I am worried that the broad scope of the warning against me (ie. "a very low bar") will make it easy for any action I take, regardless of its legitimacy, to be labelled as disruptive and used to block me. I feel there are issues that should be addressed, both in terms of personal attacks against me and inappropriate conduct on certain articles, but I want to pursue these through the proper channels without being blocked. Do you have any advice? ] (]) 23:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

That IP is back again

Hi Callanecc, That IP is back edit warring on the List of Maggie Smith performances again and has now decided to label my edits as vandalism and call me a troll in the process. I see they have also edit warred and labelled as vandalism on the Janey Godley page, so I'm not the only one who is struggling with this individual. Someone on the Godley history says the range should be banned, but as they hop IPs to different countries, I'm not sure that's going to be much of a barrier, but who knows. Thanks - SchroCat (talk)

I've blocked 213.55.128.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from editing those two pages for a week for edit warring. I did 36 hours last time so we can keep increasing as needed. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
That's great - thanks very much indeed! - SchroCat (talk) 07:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Previously contentious topic blocked user on edit spree

Just checking, are you aware this user User talk:DMH223344, is currently making many edits to the Zionism page? Sorry I don't know how to link a talk page subject specifically, but you left something on their talk page regarding a block from the article. All of their edits are either on Israel, Zionism, or the Palestine-Israel conflict; so I just felt I should bring it to your attention. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 21:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Terrainman, I can't see any issues with DMH's editing to that article at the moment. The previous block was specifically for breaking the one-revert restriction on the article rather than any other issue. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:18, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Oh I see, I saw that they had a high number of reverted changes to the article recently which is why I brought it up, but looks like those have stayed reverted so you're right it is fine and unrelated to their prior block. Cheers 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 23:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Rejected page protection

Please check the edit history . How am I supposed to do a dispute resolution thing since it's clear vandalism? "war flag" and naval flag has nowhere place in the infobox. Also multiple IP abuse. Beshogur (talk) 14:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Pages: Flags of the Ottoman Empire and flag of Turkey. Beshogur (talk) 14:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Start a discussion on the talk page like you would for any other content dispute and let the other party know it's there (on their talk page). If they then decide not to contribute you deal with it as edit warring. I'd point out that the IP has started a discussion at Talk:Flags of the Ottoman Empire.

Weekly highlight

  • The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months.

See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.

Updates for editors

  • On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the inproject: keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Misplaced Pages, English Misplaced Pages, English Wikivoyage, French Misplaced Pages, Hungarian Misplaced Pages, Nepali Misplaced Pages, Turkish Misplaced Pages, Chinese Misplaced Pages)
  • One new wiki has been created: a Misplaced Pages in Tigre (w:tig:)
  • Recurrent item View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects.
