Stop edit waring and abusing the vandalism templates

Don't jump in while somebody is editing and start waring them and spamming vandalism templates on their talk page. I made it clear to you that I am removing unsourced material. If you continue I'll report you for edit waring and abusing the vandalism templates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.231.63.209 (talk) 07:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

You are now blocked as per 3RR violations for your action & behavior. Its not an attack, its a form of vandalism blanking without providing proper justifiable reason. Before me other editors have also reverted (see evidence) but you did not stop and also you did not explain. Amkgp (talk) 07:49, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Orphan tag

I wrote Werl pilgrimage late at night, and when I found that it's not mentioned on the Werl page, went to bed. What is the tag good for? I'll link and make notes of projcts when the article grew a bit more. - A friend died. - Articles have real problems. What is that tag good for, ever, I mean? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, Its a maintenance tag, you can remove it after you provide links. As of now, you have removed it but if during next page fix if its detected by any other editor, he/she may add the tag again. Amkgp (talk) 09:09, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, but you didn't answer my question. I linked, btw. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Gerda Arendt, I couldn't get what you were asking Amkgp (talk) 09:54, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
I asked for whom the orphan tag is good, ever. (I gently hinted at possibly more urgent things to do.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

The list of domain names is trivia that has nothing to do with the rest of the page - perhaps it belongs somewhere else, but not on that page. 31.50.203.24 (talk) 10:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

You just reverted my repair of grammar.

I shall fix the grammar again. Please do not revert it.

A barnstar for you!

We are getting on the verge of edit warring, please confer the Talk page for a resolution. HeartGlow30797 (talk) 03:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

HeartGlow30797, Not only edit warring sock-puppetry has also started by the user. Reporting soon at WP:SPI Amkgp (talk) 03:22, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
HeartGlow30797 There is a serious misunderstanding by one of the editors regarding this invitation notice to discuss how to stop vandalism that point. I stopped vandalism by reporting at WP:SPI and WP:AN/3 and surprisingly in return now I am accused of vandalism! Really strange. Thank you for re-affirming my defense at the WP:AN/3 .

Please request removal of pending changes privileges, redux

It would really be most welcome if you did that by yourself (I can only echo what my esteemed colleagues said) before it has to be done via other venues. Let me add that your talk-page archives even new threads rather fast, which makes it a bit more tedious to follow. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 12:26, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes on both comments. Now would be the time to request removal. Your edit warring says enough. Toddst1 (talk) 14:07, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Dear Toddst1, after warning on incorrect tackling of WP:DOY, I have corrected my actions and reverted edits that do not follow the instructions. See [[1]], [[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]], [[6]], [[7]], [[8]], [[9]], [[10]] and [[11]]. Not only this you even thanked once for one of the reverts mentioned. Proof here Amkgp (talk) 15:47, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
I think there is a serious misunderstanding regarding the reporting. I was invited to have a look to the issue, I was not edit warring, I prevented vandalism by REPORTING edit warring and suspected socket-puppetry. I reported the edit warring today Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Soroushia_reported_by_User:Amkgp_(Result:_Blocked) and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Soroushia after a discussion with my fellow editor HeartGlow30797(as we were both involved in reverting unsourced data inclusion at that moment) resulting from Talk:Crash_Landing_on_You#Resolve_Dispute. Amkgp (talk) 15:55, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Also I have not removed any discussions from talk page (except spam). I waited for around a week for response. The discussion is still available on my archive. My talk page and new threads may seem too fast because my talk page gets spammed due to heavy anti-vandalism works more than 100+ edits and posting warnings on a daily basis, leading to archiving them. Thank you. Amkgp (talk) 17:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
I would request to go through the my action explanations, reports and diffs before anyone feels to comment. Thank you. Amkgp (talk) 17:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Concerning archiving: then you should probably change the parameters of your archiving. In the last 100 edits on your talk-page, about 10% were by IPs, so I do not see very pronounced spamming. Concerning your edits: your answers are rather evasive, without really answering anything. This is not about single edits you make, but about a pattern which emerges. Just a little hint: when multiple long-term users, admins amongst them, have repeatedly something to say about things you do, then it would be time to step back a bit, perhaps slow down your editing, and at least self-reflect if they couldn't have a point. Regards.Lectonar (talk) 06:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Continuing problems with pending changes

Please explain why you accepted this edit which only served to introduce a grammatical error. Toddst1 (talk) 22:36, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Toddst1, to be fair, the stated responsibility of pending changes review is The process of reviewing is intended as a quick check to ensure edits don't contain vandalism, violations of the policy on living people, copyright violations, or other obviously inappropriate content. and Reviewers do not take responsibility for the correctness of edits they accept. A reviewer only ensures that the changes introduced to the article are broadly acceptable for viewing by a casual reader. I don't think changing "With" to "with" is vandalism, BLP vio, copyvio, or obviously inappropriate. Title case for prepositions is often confusing for many writers, and pending changes reviewers aren't tasked to enforce WP:MOS. Schazjmd (talk) 23:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
The editor attempted to change from [[This Guy's in Love With U Mare!]] → [[This Guy's in Love with U Mare!]]. I accepted it because This Guy's in Love With U Mare! does not exist and This Guy's in Love with U Mare! is the correct link. I have also mentioned the reasons on acceptance summary/Advanced review log → wiki link corrected. ~Amkgp () 03:12, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Amkgp reported by User:Toddst1 (Result: ). Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 14:04, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Its totally a false accusation. I have provided all evidences and proofs above and at edit warring noticeboard. Amkgp (talk) 21:42, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
For the record, the result at AN3 was that you were "warned" about your inappropriate conduct. Specifically finding that you "violated 3RR in a manner not exempt from that policy" and were "cautioned to do better next time by observing 3RR" in lieu of blocking, Violating 3RR usually results in an automatic block, so you are fortunate - not innocent.
So, in that context and your unambiguous refusal to accept responsibility for your actions, I think you have two choices:
1. Go to Wikipedia:Requests for permissions and request your pending changes privileges be revoked as several folks have suggested here that you do.
-or-
2. Go through a messy discussion on the Administrator's incidents board where those who have commented on the subject here will ask for them to be removed involuntarily and likely succeed.
Please respond here. Toddst1 (talk) 22:17, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
And even a warning over there is a warning. So you have now indeed be warned. Lectonar (talk) 06:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, my brother's an idiot

Yeah, sorry about that My brother created a new account on my computer and almost got my IP address locked from creating a new account ' — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigBoiEthan (talkcontribs) 19:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

fyi on Ruel

The ip user hitting the page I think hit last night as well. See here. They deleted the same thing first, the pronunciation thing. I didn't think there were full on vandal until seeing them again tonight so i just did edit war. ToeFungii (talk) 06:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

ToeFungii, OK and thanks for the info ! ~Amkgp () 06:18, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
I'm doing the counter vandalism academy and need to do a revert and report aiv. if William Dampier ip vandal strikes again please let me report him. thx. ToeFungii (talk) 06:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
ToeFungii, Oops I think I have reported already ! ~Amkgp () 06:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Never mind will I was typing he hit again. I'm going to be on for another 1-2 houses. if you've got someone who gets to level 4 and needs reporting, give me a chance :) you're too fast.ToeFungii (talk) 06:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
ToeFungii, OK ~Amkgp () 06:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
No worries as over the weekend they'll be alot. unfort I don't qualify for any of the tools yet so I'm doing recent revisions and it takes a little more clicking. But I recog your name because we are are on together somewhat and you are really really fast. I'm old and slow and fat and ugly and bald, but I try. thx. ToeFungii (talk) 06:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
ToeFungii, In Special:RecentChanges, just use the active filters (check the boxes ☑ -> "Likely have problems", "Very likely have problems" under Contribution quality predictions; also check the boxes -> "Likely bad faith", "Very likely bad faith" under User intend predictions ). You will get around 80 - 90% pages that are prone to vandalism. ~Amkgp () 06:54, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
I was close on the settings. Do you also set based on user experience? Right now my because issue is that on some of the more creative changers it takes me a little longer than you, materialscientist, themalcow, and several otehrs i see to figure out the page. I'd guess as i practice more it'll get easier. thx i'll give those settings a showt.ToeFungii (talk) 07:01, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
ToeFungii, Many of them are admin plus they are experienced I believe and also have rollback privileges that enable them to counter vandalism using Huggle software which I believe is powerful and fast than manual reverts. I too face the same problem but I figured out ways which I shared earlier. Thank you. ~Amkgp () 07:06, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

"Unconstructive" Edit

Hi, I wanted to know why my edit was considered as unconstructive. I already added the citation as another editor asked. 210.212.194.97 (talk) 18:37, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

210.212.194.97 (talk) I have reverted back to your version. ~Amkgp () 18:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: SlingApp

Hello Amkgp. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of SlingApp, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Awards is enough for A7. Take to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK  10:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)


I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Draft:Junayed Al Hasib. I do not think that Draft:Junayed Al Hasib fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because This was not blatantly promotional, particularly in draft where the standards are looser. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 21:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) If it's a draft, then PROD or AfD probably doesn't apply? This would probably be an A7 if it's moved to article space but otherwise there's little to do about it. You can take it to Wp:MfD but a draft probably doesnt get deleted merely because it is on a non-notable subject. There's much more leeway over there. --Dps04 (talk) 04:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Dps04, I too was in little doubt. Thank you for the clarification. ~Amkgp 04:34, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
