Happy New Year!

	Happy New Year!
	Hello ScottishFinnishRadish: Did you know ... that back in 1885, Misplaced Pages editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels? Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters. Professor Penguino (talk) 23:25, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

Hello ScottishFinnishRadish:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a two week long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running until 14 January 2023.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

Return the darft

Hello, dear admin, please return the draft of Maoud Minaei and Jafar Ahmadi. Many thanks Ralon (talk) 03:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

(by talk reader) @Ralon: The article was deleted following an AfD discussion and a draft by that name was created by a sock. I assume, then, that you are said ne'er-do-well? Chris Troutman (talk) 03:17, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

According to your instructions, I corrected the sources of Masoud Minaei's page and re-uploaded. Please return the drafts, thank you very much Ralon (talk) 03:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

TPA

You may want to revoke TPA for this one Andre🚐 01:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Eh, we'll see if it keeps up. If they're getting salty on their talk page they're not resetting their phone or modem to get a new IP, or hopping to a new proxy. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Jordan Peterson Page - your deletion

Hi -I saw you deleted the section I added: "Ontario College of Psychologists demands that Peterson submits to mandatory social-media communication retraining: "

Please see my notes on the Talk page there. Please revert your deletion -for the reasons I give there. This issue will surely gain wider attention in coming days /weeks - visitors to the page will expect to see some reference to it at least - even if untidy. You may wish to add a DRAFT statement to the top of the new section, if you wish.CanterburyUK (talk) 23:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC) Many thanks!

I've responded on the talk page. Best to discuss there, so everything is in one place. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

...

I couldn't respond to your comment, but thank you for your civility. I owe you an apology for being crass. Treynich87 (talk) 00:05, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Treynich87, no worries, it happens. To expand on the templated warnings and such on your talk page misgendering and pronoun shenanigans are common vandalism, and the response to such edits are generally very forceful. There is a strong community consensus around the use of pronouns and other gender identity matters and it's easy to run astray of that if you're not aware. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

What is the community consensus around pronouns and gender identity? 2001:8003:70F5:2400:74C3:CF:6734:FD8A (talk) 19:46, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for the root vegetable!

VindiceLibertas

User:VindiceLibertas has made obviously biased comments to defend Bolsonaro supporters who attacked Brazilian government buildings at Talk:2023 invasion of the Brazilian Congress#Requested move 8 January 2023. Misplaced Pages is allowed to exclude opinions of biased editors, so I hope his comments can be crossed out from the section. Thank you. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 16:04, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

@Roman Reigns Fanboy: While their talk page comments aren't great there, I don't think it rises to the level of blocking further. I suggest you wait until the block expires, and if the behavior doesn't change then you can bring them to WP:ANI to see if there is consensus for action. We also only exclude opinions in the most drastic of situations, and I don't believe they're near the point where they would be blocked simply for ideological viewpoint. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I wasn't asking for increasing the block. Only crossing out their comments. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 16:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't see them as disruptive enough to require striking, though as Dumuzid says, reasonable minds may differ. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Asking for your opinion

Hello again, @ScottishFinnishRadish! Could you please take a look at Draft:Happy Death Day (song)? I just wanna ask for your opinion about the said draft. Thank you! - jampol 02:12, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks reasonable, and it looks like someone already moved this to article space. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:27, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

In your copious free time....

Would you mind having a quick look at Talk:The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power? There are some SPAs and IPs kind of forum-ing up the place. Were I a stranger to the page, I would probably be removing stuff, but as I am quite involved, I don't. I am mostly just seeking a temperature check on myself; to be clear, either "this is all fine" or "not great, but nothing to be done" would be completely acceptable answers. If you are too busy, no worries. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 18:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I'll take a peek. This'll teach me to work on an article! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:06, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

There's definitely a lot of repetition and notaforum going on. The first thing that has to happen is people need to stop engaging, because I wouldn't be comfortable removing replies to a quasi-active discussion that good faith contributors are taking part in. In the future, when people create new sections, removing them as duplicate discussion/notaforum is pretty reasonable. I've added the page to my watchlist, so I'll be keeping an eye on it too. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:29, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks; I appreciate the second opinion! Dumuzid (talk) 19:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for clearing the massive backlog at UAA. Silikonz💬 18:49, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem, that's why they pay me the big bucks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:56, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

LOL. a nice sense of humour is valued :) Silikonz💬 19:03, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

مهدي جزائري

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish. You blocked مهدي جزائري (talk · contribs) as well their IP 154.121.58.84 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) last week. They returned today as 154.121.60.137 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 17:06, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Blocked. Hopefully there's a reasonably range that shows up after a while for a range block. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again. :-) Robby.is.on (talk) 17:13, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem. Let me know if you see them pop up again. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:17, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

It didn't take long: 154.121.59.217 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) Robby.is.on (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Blocked. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:38, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I placed a range block for a week. We'll see how that goes. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Robby.is.on (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Here's to hoping. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:55, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

LTA is back at it.

Look at 94.133.180.171 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Apparently they are the LTA that has been vandalizing articles about the film "Turning Red". --ARoseWolf 20:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I was driving, but it looks like it was taken care of. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks (also)

for stepping up and closing that huge discussion. I have always sucked at discerning consensus, so I never attempted to close anything when I was an admin. I had no idea which way that close might go. Thank you for rising to the challenge, and now I can only touch wood and otherwise hope it winds up working out. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem. Discerning consensus is normally easier than that one, but someone has to do it.

I personally don't have high hopes, but without a supervote I didn't see another way to close it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Pi Labs Soho

Hey, Radish. I went to block Pi Labs Soho for promotional username and promotional edits, but found you had already done the deed. I have trouble with your softblock, though. Both the name and the edits (which I just reverted) are seriously promotional. Why a soft block? Bishonen | tålk 15:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC).

While reviewing the edits I was looking more at the mass removal, and though they may have just been an inexperienced user. Reviewing some of the replaced content, things like Faisal and his team have built a portfolio of over 70 companies from across the globe, all of whom are working to transform the way global industries and societies are interacting with our built world. are definitely promotional, and a hard block was probably the right call. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Right. Well, if you don't intend to change the block, I suppose I will. Bishonen | tålk 17:44, 16 January 2023 (UTC).

I changed it. Sorry about that. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Bishonen | tålk 22:37, 16 January 2023 (UTC).

Redaction required and probable block

Dear friendly local admin: See https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Ursula_von_der_Leyen&diff=1134158474&oldid=1132887733&diffmode=source Libelous, opinionated and disruptive. Redact and block, I suggest. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:11, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

I've revdel'd and given a 4im warning. If you see further edits like that from them, let me know. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:15, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

What to do?

Howdy. Is there a place where one could request a hatting of a discussion? It's apparent that the editor is not going to stop complaining, even though he's not getting a consensus for the changes he wants. Since his return to Misplaced Pages (Jan 15), he's done virtually nothing else, on the project. GoodDay (talk) 16:09, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

I find that if everyone stops responding, they have no one to talk back to. Failing that, AE or ANI of you think it has reached that level of disruption. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:46, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Infobox protection request for Template on 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine article

Thanks for doing that close on the previous RfC. There seems to be sufficient consensus in the Template discussion for the Infobox of the 2022 article between 4-5 editors that it seems useful to use it, for purposes of wanting to avoid yet a 4th RfC which would end up stalemated. I've added the version of the Infobox to the Template page for the article and would like to request that you fully protect that version for some time period. I realize that it would keep me from editing it as well, though full page protection would provide a useful deterrent to others making further unproductive RfCs requests on that article's Talk page. ErnestKrause (talk) 23:18, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

I just reviewed the recent discussion and editing and I'm not going to unilaterally fully protect the template at this time. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:39, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Your block of Speedrunner69

Now we have an antisemitic remark in an edit summary for their Talk page. Time to revoke access.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 23:37, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks like my hero, Ponyo, got around to it while I was reading about an infobox. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:41, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

That's me, The Greatest American Canadian Hero!-- Ponyo 23:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

@Ponyo I'm acquainted with a former admin elsewhere on the 'Net. I don't know what handle they used here and haven't asked but they speak very highly of you. Skywatcher68 (talk) 23:48, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Really? All of those bribes were worth it then. Seriously though, that's nice to hear.-- Ponyo 23:53, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Canadian?! I thought you were French. Unless you're... French Canadian! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm as Canadian as a hockey puck.-- Ponyo 23:53, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
