Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:31, 5 January 2025

If I leave a message for you: Please respond on your talk page. I'll probably add it to my watchlist, but if I miss something, feel free to leave a talkback. If you leave a message for me: I will most likely respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page. Note: I reserve the right to decline or withdraw from a situation that is escalating or uncomfortable, without giving a reason, or to take further action through permissable means. (See this policy.) If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an edit summary. Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism! This also applies to Rollbacks. If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalise, I might not be able to stop you, but you will be reverted...and beware the giant dice.

DYK for Beechcraft BQM-126

On 2 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Beechcraft BQM-126, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 1980s Beechcraft BQM-126 target drone could be launched from aircraft based on aircraft carriers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Beechcraft BQM-126. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Beechcraft BQM-126), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you so much

Thank you so much for riding herd on BLP violations at that breaking news story. I've been all but begging people on article talk to respect WP:BLP but it's good to see an admin taking an active hand here where it'll definitely be needed. Simonm223 (talk) 13:28, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

I reopened your ANI close at "TTTEMLPBrony and continued addition of unsourced/crufty material, zero communication" as I was in the middle of an edit when you closed it. The issue of User:Bishonen's very poor block duration that is completely outside of policy had not been dealt with. That said no one seems to have the gumption to actually discipline Admin's who ignore the rules and don't treat nubes they same way that admins are treated, so I've reclosed.

Indefinite is not infinite, and his block was entirely within standard procedures. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Which procedure do you refer to? WP:INDEF says Indefinite blocks are usually applied when there is significant disruption or threats of disruption, or major breaches of policy.; which I think we can all agree wasn't the case. Perhaps there is a new policy I am unaware of? My concern (as always) is that being heavy-handed with new users alienates them, chasing away desperately need resources. Though now they trotted out good old WP:LITTLEBROTHER, I just look a bit of a fool for mentioning it - sigh. Nfitz (talk) 08:31, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
