While you're around

can you take a look at User talk:2600:1700:3BD2:8C0E:8DB2:D4A9:CF5D:E23 and the history. I think it probably needs revdel and the ip blocked. Something squirrely is going on. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit warrior

Request to restore Draft

Hey there User:Ohnoitsjamie, I hope you are doing well. Recently, I've noticed that you've deleted two of my drafts under speedy deletion criteria for promotion, namely Draft:Chirag Pardesi and Draft:Youth Against Rape; also, I saw your warning on my talk page. I'm here to explicate that my work is not promotional, and will never be. However, I understand notability is the issue with my draft topics specially with Draft:Chirag Pardesi, but I believe Draft:Youth Against Rape might be moved to mainspace in near future. So, there was no need to remove it. I would request you to restore the Draft page and also check Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 January 4 too. Thank you and happy editing for your future. -- Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 03:59, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

I checked that DR review; deletion was endorsed. I'm not restoring any of your drafts, as you've wasted enough of our time. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 05:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

User:Ohnoitsjamie, I've wasted lot of your time? I know deletion was endorsed, also I didn't get your point, you deleted my drafts because they're promotional? Simply I'm asking you to check one time which word or line or paragraph was promotional in those draft. Notability is not issue in drafts until they've a scope of being published in main space. And for misbehaving with me, I forgive you and believe you'll correct this small error of yours soon :) Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 13:43, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not restoring your drafts. Please do not bother me about this again. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Blocked ip

Hi Ohnoitsjamie,
You range blocked 2601:199:4181:E00:9DAB:2601:ED22:3B9C (talk · contribs) on Feb. 21.

• Perhaps you need to look at 73.123.30.85 (talk · contribs) too per this edit, where in their edit summary they claim to be the same editor, per a talk page comment by the first IP. Both IPs seem to geolocate to same US city.

Block evasion (73.123.30.85, 2601:199:4181:E00:0:0:0:0/64)

User_talk:73.123.30.85 has been blocked three months for evading this rangeblock, but I wouldn't be surprised if they attempted to evade both of those blocks. user:220 of Borg, User:Binksternet, User:Mvcg66b3r, User:Magnolia677 - you've all warned this editor before, please be on the lookout for more socks; the IP will likely geolocate to the Boston metro area. They tend to edit articles about TV and radio stations and music, and have also edit-warred on Stunting (broadcasting), Broadcast signal intrusion, and Gender reveal party. Feel free to ping me if you see any suspicious edits. Thanks! OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Article review

Hi Ohnoitsjamie,
Is there by any chance any option to get an article reviewed by anyone; pref an admin before it gets published, so that it does fall in the eligibility criterias? I dont see any such button. PLs help

Thanks in advance, good day  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insightisinside (talk • contribs) 06:32, 9 March 2021 (UTC) 

@Insightisinside: I'd suggest using the Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation process. The page covers the process pretty well; you create a draft, and experienced editors will review it, provide feedback, and reject/approve it for publishing to mainspace. Keep in mind that an approved draft may still be challenged via the WP:AFD process, as no single editor has the final word on that. If you're intending to create an article about your business, please don't. It's not going to happen; it doesn't remotely approach our WP:CORP notability guidelines, not to mention the obvious conflict of interest. You've also been warned about promotional edits and blocked; further such edits will result in an indefinite block. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Smear campaign onMohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo's Page.

The Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo Wikipedia page is subject to a recent smear campaign in the form of massive disinformation. As you can see by looking at the recent edits in the last month or so by 1 particular user AmirahBreen. In the same breath, the same user AmirahBreen has edited former president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud during the same periods but instead posted positive and neutral edits. This is a clear indication of a biased and one-sided targeted attack using misleading information, this will lead to constant issues in regards to the validity of the page. Please look into this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlottecracker (talk • contribs) 17:19, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

If you look at that talk page history, you'll see that I've already commented on it. I'm tired of arguing with the editor in question; I'd suggest taking the matter to an WP:RFC. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Same IP behavior I reported before, from the same range

User talk:2600:1700:3BD2:8C0E:A541:ADFD:3055:4DFF looks like they're posting logs of bounced email traffic from a school district. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks again. Is there a noticeboard I can report this stuff to so I don't bother you directly? It doesn't seem like it fits the normal vandalism board. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

That probably fits WP:AIV better than a lot of the other reports there, but feel free to ping me directly if it looks like I'm active. (Oh, and I expanded a rangeblock on that one. Can't tell if it's a bot or just a weirdo). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:29, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Neutrality vs Whitewashing

So you removed my edit to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_St_Michael_and_St_George page noting that the badge of the order is unfortunately racist. Your rationale was that, apparently, noting the existence of the racism is not viewpoint neutral, which seems hard to justify unless one can demonstrate alternate imagery in which St Michael is portrayed as black and Satan as white! Regrettably, the net effect of your reversion is to create a whitewashed, defiantly not "viewpoint neutral" page where the unfortunate fact that the order's imagery relies on the undeniably racist imagery of a white figure vanquishing an evil black one. Now, I am absolutely open to suggestions as to how best phrase the edits, but I do not believe we can be complacent when one's notice is drawn to the problem. Of course, I'm aware of the dog-piling related to racism and the royal family, but I see a huge difference between noting that the imagery is problematic and linking that to other issues. Ultimately, the choice is quite binary: either we note and ideally regret the consequences of historical choices and decisions (racism, colonialism, misogyny, etc), or we pretend they don't exist (hence "whitewashing"). So I am hoping this discussion evolves to a "how" rather than "whether", because the latter is not acceptable in 2021!MalcWeir (talk) 22:06, 11 March 2021 (UTC) User:MalcWeir

Please read WP:NOR. We don't allow editors to insert their personal opinions in Wikipedia. If one or more reliable sources wrote about the badge image being problematic, then it may be appropriate to mention it with sources. In the absence of that, it's your personal opinion. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:38, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

I find it a rather sad indictment of your personal ethics that you are able to consider such blatant racism as just a personal opinion: it's objectively racist, not an opinion. However, I've revised the paragraph to include citations to clear statements from two people who are entitled to wear the thing, one of whom is the Governor General of an independent country that banned the wearing of the racist insignia on the grounds that it is racist. Mind you, had you actually READ the citation to CNN at the end of the paragraph that offended you, you would have already known that the issue of the racism is not a personal opinion, but it appears that you didn't bother to investigate much.

Section tag on Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed

About your tag on this page, your edit summary says that 95% of the criticism in the section is by one editor. It would also be true to say that 95% of the section was written by one editor. I would be as happy as you for other editors to contribute valid cited edits to the page which show a fair reflection of reliable media sources. I am watching closely what is coming up in the news and sincerely hoping that there will be some positive developments which can be added. Amirah talk 23:34, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Any attempts I've made to prune material (or anyone else), you've reverted. I'm not interested in discussing it anymore, as it's clear that you intend to continue to monopolize the page, and as such, it should probably go to WP:ANI at this point. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:40, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for drawing my attention to Ownership of content, I have read the page carefully and will continue to follow all Wikipedia guidelines I am aware of with the intention of both improving Wikipedia and my own editing skills. Although you have said you do not wish to have any further discussion with me on the subject, I am still available for discussion if you decide you wish to discuss it with me.

Block Evasion

Sir, looks like User:K.D Manikya Tripuri is trying to evade the block. [3], [4]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:45, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

The range may need a bigger block

The narrow focus was good, but an impressive percentage of the busy edit history consists of disruption and reversions [5]. Thanks and cheers, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:05, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Yikes, that's a really big range to apply a full block on. I've done it to ranges where 90% of the edits were garbage, but at least for the last 50 edits, at least half appears to be good faith. Were there any particular patterns of vandalism or articles you were looking at? I'm wondering if there might be some smaller sub ranges to target. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 03:13, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

I see what you're saying. I haven't established a clear pattern, and wouldn't know how to distinguish sub ranges. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:20, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

If we see a few different IPs doing the same kind of vandalism, I can run them through this tool to try to identify a smaller range. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:35, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Revisiting this. A look at the last 24 hours suggests at least 75% of the edits are vandalism. I don't know if it's possible to connect them to a smaller range.... 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:43, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Indef or long block?

Hi Jamie. Based on your comment here, I thought I'd bring this edit and this edit to your attention. Clearly another WP:DOB/WP:BLP violation by this serial offender. Four days off their previous block for the same issue, I think it's obvious this editor is WP:NOTGETTINGIT. Could you take a look? Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 14:57, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

regarding changes made on a wiki page of Farnaz Shetty

hello, I made the changes on the page of Farnaz Shetty which were true. I know I have no source to mention as of now but I gave inputs after checking with the facts from the concerned person herself. Infact she herself asked me to make the changes. If possible if you can help with the changes then it would be kind of you.

174.255.64.228

You blocked this IP for "Disruptive editing: and block evasion" specifically edits to Exxon_Valdez. I have been looking at that page and I think that 174.255.64.228 was correct, the volume was hundreds of thousands not millions (ref later numbers in the article and references for them). I might be wrong so do the sums yourself but mid range numbers are 100000 m^3 and a barrel of oil is 159 litres 100000 m^3 x 1000 = 100e9 ltr / 159 = 0.629e6 million barrels which is in the hundreds of thousands and not millions. Mtpaley (talk) 00:57, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Please look closer at the block; I blocked a range on March 26th (nearly a month after the Exxon Valdez edit) that was being used disruptively by a previously blocked individual; it's unfortunate innocent IP editors get caught in range blocks, but that's unavoidable sometimes.

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed

Is there anything that can be done for this article? The slant has only gotten worse and the misreading or misrepresenting of sources to slant the article has gotten worse as well. Has it been brought up on the NPOV or BLP noticeboard that you're aware of? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, a long thread: [[7]]. It may merit an ANI ticket at this point. I'm a little exhausted with it personally, but if it was brought up at ANI, I'd support a topic ban. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:02, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Now I know why I thought there was a BLPN post, I actually posted in it. Maybe I'll try to get something together, but I've never done an ANI posting. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:26, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Holy shit, I read it, most of it--that editor thinks it's all about them, don't they. Drmies (talk) 23:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

User:ScottishFinnishRadish - I appreciate your time invested in the article; it's a topic area I'm not well-versed in, and honestly most of my time is spent on short-duration admin tasks. Keep pushing back on the POV-slant as you're doing; if it goes to ANI, we'll want diffs to show that we've made attempts to address the issue. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:00, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

The only familiarity I have with this is that I once ran a tabletop Shadowrun game set in Somalia. It's just so obvious that there's a problem. How much more than this do you think I'll need to get together? A lot of diffs are tough because Dec 18th - March 17th had to be revdel'd due to copyright problems, of which I just found at least two more. Take a look at my sandbox and let me know if I need to dig more, if you'd be so kind. Also, should I request revdel for the copyright concerns? I think this whole page will need to be checked for copyright issues. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:13, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I tidied everything up in my sandbox. Do you think that much is overkill, or not adequate? I don't have any ANI experience so I don't want to screw the pooch. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:23, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

That looks pretty good to me, though if you take it to ANI, I'd leave out the bit about removing stuff from his own talk page; per WP:OWNTALK, that's perfectly fine, as long as he's not altering what other people wrote. The essential issue is that he's clearly editing in a very slanted fashion, and you have plenty of diffs to support that. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:26, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

That was removed from the article talk page after being responded to. You and Drmies both reverted him at the time, and one other person restored more of the comments later. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:28, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean now about him removing his comments from the article talk page, though he makes some sort of claim about "personal security." Regarding the copyvio stuff; the big question is; has he been warned about that, yet is continuing to do it, or did you just discover it? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

We discussed it on my talk page, where he said he's used direct quotes before. At least one of those copyright violations has come since then. I think I linked to the conversation on my talk page in my sandbox. The first copyright violation is why there are 4 months of deleted revisions on the article. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:35, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

• Not sure what there is to discuss. You've done so much work in the article--do you have a list of edits they made that were copyright violations? Right now I'm looking at your reverts. With a list, we (that is, the admins, and experts like Diannaa) can consider if there maybe should just be a block for that--and God only knows how much should be revdeleted. Another option is to issue a topic ban for this article, but while an edit like this is clearly unproductive, we'd need more than a few to make the case. Drmies (talk) 23:57, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Not sure if you've seen this, but User:ScottishFinnishRadish compiled quite a few examples here. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:59, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

There's also copyright violation that led to 4 months of revisions deleted. Seems any time I start verifying sources it's either a violation or three source doesn't match the prose. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:09, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I saw the page with the pull-down menus--I'll take a simple list. But that's only two examples--I can't go and block for that. I looked at a few other menus. But look, if you complain about them adding this (and I'd remove it saying "not everyone is run by the president"), then the same applies to this--it's like in all those articles on American universities, where the president/chancellor gets to brag about the GRE scores or the football team. And this, I'd remove that too. Who cares what an Italian undersecretary said? What is Raxanreeb anyway? No, I can see problems with their behavior, but that page does not give me any good grounds for action. Drmies (talk) 00:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

The list is more aiming for a topic ban for bad faith editing, and the gist of most of the diffs is they add everything remotely related that's negative, and remove anything positive. After the removal about the Italian undersecretary there were 7 paragraphs, all negatively framed quoting everyone from the mayor of Mogadishu to an al Shabab functionary. The diffs are trying to establish that pattern. The additional copyright issues came up while I was reviewing sources and history. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:02, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, while cleaning more of the article I've so far found and logged four five many more examples that can be seen in my sandbox. I'm sure I'll find more as I go along. Is this severe enough to have to request a revdel? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:25, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

OK--first of all, if you want me to revdel anything, I need the diff where they stuck it in. I can't give you this one--that's messed up punctuation and stuff, and they are clearly a poor writer and editor in English, but it doesn't warrant revdeletion, IMO. I will agree with you on this and this. The others, it's just too short, and the ones that have names and dates, that's typically not so quickly seen as a copyvio. Drmies (talk) 20:40, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

This was an entire paragraph in our article and that they no longer recognise Mohamed as the President of Somalia since his term expired without any agreement on the path toward elections to replace him is exactly the same as the source except they change "a political" to "any". Is that an acceptable level of change to avoid close paraphrasing or copyright issues? As far as the revdel, I'm asking if any of this is severe enough to warrant it, since I'm pretty unfamiliar with the thresholds for copyright problems. Also User:Ohnoitsjamie, should we take this somewhere else to not clutter your page? The big problem I'm seeing right now is that the user just opens sources, finds a line that reflects poorly on the article subject, copies and pastes it then changes a word and cites wherever he copied it from. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I thought I just gave you two examples (after going through a bunch of them) that I'm willing to revdelete if you give me the original diff where the offending text was added to the article; right now I'm less interested in more discussion. Yes, doing this on the article talk page is probably a good idea. Drmies (talk) 20:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

User:Ohnoitsjamie, would you possibly have the time to check my mock-up ANI report in my sandbox and let me know if that looks more or less correct before I post it? If it doesn't seem good enough I'd rather not waste anyone's time on an ANI. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:57, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I made a few copyedits to your intro; let's hold off on filing it until the behavior resumes, though. I'm going to be pretty busy for the rest of the day but I'd like to review it again before you file it if you don't mind. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:09, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I just made another copy edit to tidy a bit more up. There's no rush on checking it again as I'll wait until their editing resumes before filing it. I look forward to another 20 sections on the article talk page, one for each edit I made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:16, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Looks like the behavior started up again. Unfortunately I'm pretty much stuck editing by phone until Tuesday so I can't check the new additions for copyright problems and add more diffs to the npov section until then. I can tell they're mad at the removals because after adding a ton to make the subject look bad they removed some of the little neutral and positive coverage. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:19, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

I added two more NPOV links and another copy/paste from source from the recent editing to the collapsed links. Should I post this to ANI today? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:32, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Ohnoitsjamie, have you had a chance to give it a final review before I file it? It doesn't seem like anything has improved. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:19, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Would it be prudent to put a notice of the ANI discussion on the article talk page, or just let it ride as is? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

It is most important to notify all participants, but in this case, a notice on the talk page would also be useful. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:45, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks again for the help. One last thing (I hope, because I feel like I've been bothering you for a week), should I U1 my sandbox or is blanking it sufficient to not fall afoul of WP:POLEMIC? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware, there are no issues with using user/sandbox space to draft something you're willing to post at ANI. You could blank it after the issue is resolved if you'd like. It's in the history regardless. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:06, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to pester you again, but it's there a trick to get some uninvolved admin review at ANI, at least for the copyright issues which seem fairly unambiguous? I don't want to post anything on the copyright noticeboard or request a copyright revdel while there's an ANI thread active. It's discouraging when three people have supported my report, but there's almost no uninvolved discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:48, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

I revdel'd a couple of them. If any there any further copyright violations it may be appropriate to open a new incident. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:08, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Well at least I can say I tried before I remove the article from my watchlist and ignore it forever. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:15, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Your opinion on this article?

Korn's eight studio album is currently listed as Untitled Korn album on Wikipedia (which seems odd to me). They also have another "untitled" album (their debut), which is listed as Korn (album). Adding to this, they have yet another pseudo-untitled album, Korn III: Remember Who You Are (their ninth album).

Should their eight album stay listed as it is, or should it be changed (if it was up to you)? If so, to what? Online stores such as, Amazon, iTunes, and Spotify lists this album simply as Untitled, while listing their debut as Korn.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks. 2001:8003:3302:BC00:6148:85D8:8D88:64FF (talk) 08:30, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

If it was up to me, I'd go with Untitled (Korn album), which reflects how the band, retailers, and reviewers refer to the album. At first, I was thinking it should be Korn (2007 album) but skimming through the talk page and references it sounds like the word "Untitled" is registered with the RIAA as Untitled and described by the band as "Untitled" (whereas they'd describe their first album as simply "Korn"). In some cases WP:COMMONNAME comes into play, e.g. Led Zeppelin IV, but I'm not under the impression that fan names for Korn's 8th album are widespread enough to invoke that policy. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:48, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Much appreciated, thanks. 2001:8003:3302:BC00:6148:85D8:8D88:64FF (talk) 19:49, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ohnoitsjamie Im Phantom Digital I Was Just Wondering If We Can Chat about helping me learn more about Wikipedia

Sincerly, PD

You can learn about our notability policy here. Wikipedia is not a fandom site; I've deleted all of the articles you've created. If you attempt to create them again without going through the WP:AFC process, you'll be blocked. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 03:48, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Personal attacks

You've left a couple of warnings for a new user about their unsourced content[8][9]. I've been reverting some of it on my watchlisted pages, noticing today that they're also logging out to insert it [10][11] which I warned them about on their talkpage [12]. They just left this response on my userpage [13]. Their editing history, both logged in and out, is all about fan promotion of Zack Snyder, and there are clear WP:NOTHERE vibes that the personal attack on my userpage pretty well crystallizes.

User:Jacksonblack11 continues to make disruptive edits

You posted a warning about a subsequent indefinite block (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jacksonblack11&oldid=980885799) which the user manually removed (along with other warnings about disruptive edits), after which the user continued to make disruptive edits, and attacked those who politely advised against such edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jacksonblack11&diff=977467738&oldid=977456852) The user has numerous problematic contributions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jacksonblack11) that the user habitually marks as minor. -- Jibal (talk) 01:17, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

That user hasn't edited since March 21. Am I missing something? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:31, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

The user only edits occasionally. It seems to me that a warning (in Sep 2020) that subsequent disruptive edits will result in an indefinite block should not be made lightly, yet they have made at least 5 edits since then that were reverted and that they were warned about. I noticed this and thought I should bring it to your attention, but I'll leave any action to your discretion. I have no particular interest in the user or the articles they edited and will promptly forget about this. P.S. There was another block earlier in Sep 2020 and the unblock was declined with "To be unblocked, you will have to commit to sourcing all your edits from now on" but the user has not stuck to that. -- Jibal (talk) 01:49, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

If the disruptive editing resumes, an indefinite block would be appropriate, but blocking a user a month after they've last edited (in the absence of evidence that they are a block-evading sock) seems unwarranted. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:07, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Daniel Lee (designer) Problems with user: Knewdates

Heja, firstly, thanks for stepping in earlier, this issue from the Soho House (club) page unfortunately continues and now I am being accused and attacked on the talk page of Daniel Lee (designer) after having asked for help and comment to begin with. I have refrained from reverting the page to the version before Knewdates (your last revert) as I do not want to deepen the problem and so I am hoping you could step in again to arbitrate the situation. I have logged the problem on the admin page more precisely: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Regading user Knewdates for bad faith editing and what I see as intimidation Daniel Lee (designer)

I've also let the user know on their talk page that I have logged our issue on the admin noticeboard per standards, though I'm not very technologically adapt and I am not sure I did it correctly.

I'm actually kind of freaked out that the user Knewdates is trying to out my real-world identity after he posted someone elses twitter profile when looking up the moniker "talonx". I am a neurodiverse person and being on wikipedia is already too much social media sometimes, especially encountering people like this user. This situation is highly distressing to me and I feel like that was the intent, is their anything further I can do to protect myself that I am not already doing. I have been editing controversial topics (I have an academic background and am good at parsing data and citations for topics that are undetermined) and pages for marginalised people (being one myself) since wiki started. I Have not experienced this kind of pushback or what I see as threatening behaviour before. Please help! talonx78.55.186.185 (talk) 08:56, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

We have a policies on WP:HARASSMENT and specifically on WP:OUTING, though I'm not sure if connecting the username (that you're appending to your posts voluntarily) with a Twitter account is crossing that line. Whether or not the material about the Berlin house parties belongs in Lee's page is also debatable. I lean toward our WP:NOTNEWS policy on such matters unless the incident is widely reported; in the case of Lee, I'd say it's more connected to the company than the individual. In any case, for simple disputes like this, protection of the page really isn't appropriate. Talk pages are used for arriving at a consensus on whether that material should be included or not. If there's a stalemate in a disagreement between two editors, you can request a Wikipedia:Third_opinion. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:31, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

I just gave them a level two after fixing seven articles. They already had a level 1. Someone pointed out the issue in an edit request.

I found something that may be worth a little digging. Check out Draft:Royal New Zealand Air Force Police and take note that both I.P. addresses from the ranges of 115.189.0.0/16 and 122.56.192.0/20 have edited it. Also, the draft's creator seems to edit many of the same subjects (predominantly air force content) as the troll's range. It may just be a coincidence and because someone who is an aviation aficionado edited from the same areas as the troll did, before they arrived. Yet, a user compare report may clear the air a bit. DÅRTHBØTTØ _(T•C) 04:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

It's possible that it's the same editor, but given that we're seeing a lot of dynamic ranges, it's equally possible that it's an unrelated editor. Given that, I think we're left with what we're doing now; blocking a range as soon as it starts being disruptive, but short of blocking all of NZ, I'm not sure if there's anything "preventative" to be done. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:34, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

It's somewhat ironic that you mentioned "short of blocking all of NZ", as they left this on one of the talk pages without the banned range. It appears as though their tactic as of now is to be disruptive as soon as the range blocks lift, which will do all but keep all of Auckland blocked. It's quite unfortunate, as there are a handful of good contributors in that area - including academics. DÅRTHBØTTØ _(T•C) 04:18, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Stubborn IP range at Music of Detroit

Hello Ohnoitsjamie

I find myself in the unpleasant position of edit-warring with an IP user at Music of Detroit. The IP user keeps adding the same unsourced text involving "the band Pittbull leading the way into the future". I keep reverting, leaving my "unexplained and unsourced" edit summaries. The actual IP address can vary, but they all resolve to Chicago (Near South Side), Illinois.

• 2601:402:C200:ECF0:E2:5819:EA1A:718D: Edit 1
• 2601:402:C200:ECF0:B547:4C3A:F4BD:1427: Edit 2, Edit 3, Edit 4
• 2601:402:C200:ECF0:D0BD:EC7F:CD5:544F: Edit 5, Edit 6
• 2601:402:C200:ECF0:3427:D0BE:BA4F:154C: Edit 7

Can I persuade you to look at this behavior and possibly block (or warn??) an IP range (I don't really know what tools you have for that)? Or should I go formally to AN/I or AN/V (where's best)? And do I deserve an EW warning myself? I've tried communicating beyond WP:ES at their Talk pages, but I've never gotten any response, even via edit summary, other than reinstatement of the unsourced, promotional text (see User Talk 1427, Talk page 544F, each with two messages from me, and now User Talk 154C, with a more extensive message).

Notability of Richard Sillman

About recent questions on my talk page

Sir, I try my best not to make any mistake in checking pending changes, but some users targeting me and complaining after seeing my talk page (Questionable Reverts Message).....There are some blocked IPs also..I want you to see my editing history once.....am I making a mistake in checking pending changes?, If you think I checked wrong… then take this right back from me....I am sure you will take the right decision, on this matter.. ItsSkV08 (talk) 01:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Some of your accept/reverts are fine, but I see a few issues. In addition to the issue I questioned you about, your response to another user that any social media link will not valid as reliable source, always use website is incorrect. It's OK in some cases to use cite a subject's social page page for simple biographical information or announcements (e.g., a musician announcing that they've begun work on a new album); see WP:PRIMARY. (Incidentally, the aforementioned user was subsequently blocked for block evasion, unrelated to the quality of their sources). This is another example of a bad revert on your part; the IP pointed out that the additional comment was indeed in the existing references, which you could've easily checked in a few seconds. For now I suggest that you be more cautious with your pending changes permissions. We all make mistakes sometimes, and it takes time to learn all of our policies and the many nuances of some of them. One suggestion; when people do challenge your reverts or simply ask why you reverted them, you can provider them with the relevant policy link (e.g., WP:RS, WP:CITE). Also, if you're reverting something that isn't obvious vandalism, it's helpful to include an explanation of why you're removing it in the edit summary. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 02:33, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

My recollection is that it's a good level to protection against users who are determined to work around semi protection (making a series of minor edits first) but doesn't limit creation to administrators (a larger group of trusted editors not limited to admins). Admittedly, I can't find a policy on that usage. Do you think there's a problem with that? It would be easy enough to increase the protection to admin level. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:16, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

No, as I said, just curious. Practice-wise, I don't see why it should be a problem, since template editor is an incredibly sensitive user right. They are obviously not going to go around helping socks and UPEs bypass create protection.

Policywise, it should be used almost exclusively on high-risk templates and modules. In cases where pages in other namespaces become transcluded to a very high degree, this protection level is also valid. So, it appears the exceptions outside template namespace are envisioned to be pages that are used like templates nonetheless, i.e. high level of transclusion. So, it maybe worth asking the community if finding unintended but good uses like this is acceptable. But again, I looked at the list of template-protected titles in the mainspace, and I quickly found three other admins besides you. So, perhaps the policy needs updating instead.

IPs on Covid statistics pages

Hi, could you fill me in on why you blocked/reverted 120.22.210.186 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 120.22.48.170 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)? I've been seeing these and related IPs regularly on Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, which I myself update occasionally, and their edits seemed to me to be correct and constructive there.

Could you please explain the reason for blocking me?

Hi, OhnoitsJamie, could please explain why you blocked me? I gave both the reliable source for List of Fast & Furious characters page regarding the Brian character section and didn't do any so-called "logic-twisting" stuff (same goes for Paul Walker filmography). Then why have you put restrictions on me? I mean, Wikipedia is supposed to provide every detail correctly, including acknowledge that Brian appears in the F9 trailer, which I even acknowledged in my recent edits which you reverted back; simply denying or ignoring that fact would only mean that Wikipedia is partial when it comes to sources (which I gave). Besides, the character table doesn't claim that the given key is an appearance key (only the word "key" is written) and from what I have observed in other pages, the character cast tables show "Mentioned only" for characters being mentioned (if not appearing physically) in the specified films; besides a dark gray cell actually means that the character is NOT even mentioned in the specified film(s). So why did you revert those edits and block me from including the information which was most definitely true? Yeah it's true that I ended up violating some guidelines (for which I apologize) but you are also not acknowledging my edits (for which I even provided source). If you aren't acknowledging facts even with sources, then what's the point in calling Wikipedia a completely reliable internet encyclopedia which people can look into for their reference? If this has to be the case, then Wikipedia shouldn't even exist at the first place. Please do think about it.

P. S. Not only Brian O'Conner, but what about Mando, Jack Toretto, Elena Neves and Owen Shaw? They were also mentioned in films they didn't appear in.

Note: Please read carefully and then answer this time.

If I was trying to add jokes, do you really think I'd have brought it to RFPP? GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 21:35, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

My apologies for that. When I made the edit summary "get out" I assumed one of the IP socks had restored the content while I was in the process of protecting it, I didn't notice until afterwards that it was you. I can understand where you would think that including a straightforward statement with a ref was reasonable, but that's really just perpetuating the joke, and that Youtube channel wouldn't qualify as an reliable source for anything. In any case, in hindsight I should've assumed good faith in that situation. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:45, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia

Jamie, I have twice tried to correct the erroneous statement that the Capitol attack resulted in five deaths. Seeing that you insist on restoring this falsehood, could you please back that up with details. The Wikipedia article, "2021 United States Capitol attack," also claims five deaths. One, of course, was Ashli Babbitt, shot by Capitol Police within the Capitol. Rosanne Boyland died of a drug overdose (accidental death). Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Philips both died of heart failure (natural deaths). Those last three never entered the Capitol. Then there is Brian Sicknick, a Capitol Police officer who died the next day of a stroke, again ruled a natural death. The widely reported story that he died as a result of a head wound sustained during the riot has been thoroughly refuted.

Obviously, given that you are an administrator, you will win any tug of war, and a war is the last thing I want to pursue. My only goal was to correct obvious factual errors. If you want to insist on allowing those errors to remain in Wikipedia, well that is too bad, but you should at least try to justify your decision.

Dblake322 (talk) 02:29, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

And I've warned you twice to stop it. The current section aligns closely with the lede of 2021 United States Capitol attack, which is the result of a consensus of users and sources.

CBeebies

Hi, thanks for protecting the article. Please could you explain why Semiprotection is better than Pending changes in this case? (I think this is the second time I have made a page protection request.) TSventon (talk) 16:39, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

It could have gone either way; pending changes is ideal for long-term, occasional vandalism. PC becomes a painful when pending changes reviewers have to approve/reject a LOT of edits. In the last month, I'm seeing a fair amount of IP changes being reverted, so I felt like semi would be easier for the folks with this page on their watchlist. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:49, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Probable sock of BrightOrion

After you blocked BrightOrion a brand new editor, Pegasi lux, showed up and made the exact same edit to AA battery. [14] It seems probably BrightOrion is evading their block. Should I do a sock report or is it obvious enough? Notfrompedro (talk) 19:05, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

I think the underlying dispute is due to a difference between American English and British English. On the talk page, an IP editor geolocating to the UK states quite dogmatically that nobody says "double A", but in the US, the pronunciation "double A" is commonplace. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:47, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

I agree that there's an argument to be made for mentioning "double a" as an alternate name (similar to AAA battery) (hence this note); my objection was only to the aggressive nature of the edit-warring, especially the first iteration where BrightOrion was insisting on including a pronunciation that wasn't part of the dictionary ref.

Lakewood Colorado population layout

I am going to restore the "no class" tables for population statistics (only) for Lakewood, Colorado. Not to be rude, but you are manifestly wrong in poo-pooing the idea that the statistics list in a table is "overkill"; I say the race- and age-distribution are quite long ordered lists, and numerical information to boot; hence tabular is best. However, there are lots of two- or three-item lists in the demographics that seem to read well enough as-is, and I didn't convert them to tables in the first place, and do not plan to do so again.

On the other hand, I have converted the "notable people" section to a bulleted list, rather than restoring a table. You might have a point about the table for four "notable residents"; since many other cities' "notable residents" sections are formatted as bulleted lists, I've converted it to that, and regularized the clause order to <name> <notariety> <refs>. My argument against your "overkill" idea is that four is (maybe) "long". Think about how gramatically "three is a crowd" (that is, merits a switch from "between" and "among", and in I.E. linguistics, an example remaing in English of a switch from singular or dual to plural), and other criteria (e.g. voting in in French-derived law courts, where 3 judges are a minimum number; or comittee-type voting in general: 3 is the first no-ties number of voters more than 1 person deciding). So four individuals in a list seems perhaps technically just over "short" / on the bottom edge of "long".

Since the whole reason for changing the text layout is so it will look good and is easy to read, and I have to warrant your feedback on that (regardless of whether three or more is "long" by some standards). I do say that having running text with four items described in scrambled-up order is harder to read, but as you remarked, it might be overkill to put it in a table (I did use a "no class" table to just get the layout, and avoid classical tabular formatting with margins and shading / coloring).

My ISP randomly assigns IP addresses every time I connect, and the above signature will probably not reach me after the end of the day, today Fri 16 Jul. And yes, as you can see from this posting on your talk page, I do enjoy formatting text a little too much.)

My only objection was to using a table for a selected list of notable residents, not for population. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

(addendum) I'm not sure if we have a WP:MOS guideline for this, but your formatting for the "Demographics" section is atypical from how that section is usually formatted. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:19, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) One guideline that surely applies is MOS:ACCESS; the section has two tables without captions and without headings, and neither the column headings nor the row headings are marked up as such. Visitors using screen readers will wonder what the heck they're looking at, and as the tables are unbordered and unlabelled, and quite different from the wikitable output we're used to seeing, even sighted users like myself will wonder the same thing: what are all these numbers and letters doing floating in the middle of the paragraphs? The content of that section, as far as I can make out, appears to be typical of such sections. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 02:03, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Helping out at WP:RFP

Hi Ohnoitsjamie! As far as I understood you are a regular at WP:RFP so I have decided to drop you a line :) I have been active at RPC for a while and thought I could also be useful at WP:RFP. As a quite new administrator I am trying to be really careful so I thought you could give me a piece of advice in case I need one. I have read the PP guidelines thoroughly and studied at least 20 of the past PP requests but practical knowledge is far more valuable. Is it OK if I sometimes bother you with stupid (or not) questions? Best, Less Unless (talk) 14:46, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Sure, I'd be happy to provide a second opinion. I'll also give you a quick summary of my approach to RFPP: In many cases, I can see that the issue can be easily addressed with a single block or a range block (and this tool is helpful for determining ranges). Especially for larger ranges (or ranges where there is also a lot of reasonable editing) I try to use partial blocks when practical. If there seems to be a wide variety of IPs, or a range block would result in too much "collateral" restrictions to good-faith editors, then I consider the protection options. If there's a lot of recent disruption from different users, semi-protection is usually my first go-to; as far as duration, that depends the protection history of the article. Like blocks, I start with smaller durations, and gradually increase them as needed. For long-term and more sporadic vandalism, pending changes is useful. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Restored the text layout for Lakewood, Colorado, demographics

I restored the unformatted table layout for the Lakewood, Colorado, demographics section, which you undid. I claim that the reason given "for accessibility" is either too brief, or just plain false. Since the table has no formatting, and all the data are in identical order, just laid out in columns, page reading software will speak the information on the table in exactly the same way, and for "visually impaired" people, like me (partially blind) the layout of the text in columns makes it easier to read: More accessible. That's why I formatted it. I was having a hard time reading the prose-format text.

Because I've undone your undo, this has the symptoms of the start of an edit war; granted, vision and readability are big issues for me, but I would be ashamed to engage in one. If you want to contact me via the Talk page of my Wikipedia account, I am user:astro-Tom-ical. I almost never sign in to it, but messages left there will trigger an e‑mail alert.

Spam site question

Hi - coming to you as I see you handling requests at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist, an area I haven't been involved in before. Pushkaraj1405 was adding content to numerous articles, always citing https://english.gnptimes.in - a news blog with two authors, one of whom was behind the account. I asked them to stop, and had a bit of back-and-forth with them on their talk page and on mine, but in thisthis edit they threatened that if they were blocked they would sock in order to continue citing their blog. I blocked, and as far as I can tell they haven't started doing that yet - are preemptively blacklistings a thing, or do we need to wait for them to make good on their threat? Girth Summit _(blether) 11:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

A good argument could be made for blacklisting preemptively it based on the threats; if someone did that, I wouldn't object to it. Personally, I loosely use a "three-strike" rule before I'll report/add to the blacklist. It's a little more work on my side (it means checking that link periodically for further abuse), but it gives someone a chance to rethink their actions and stop before we blacklist their site. I've added that link to my list of monitored sites and put a "tracking" link on the talk page. (In this particular case, given the aggressiveness/threats, I think two strikes would suffice for me) OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:01, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks - just for my own education, how do you monitor the addition of sites like that - is there a link you can point me to so I can see how you're doing it? (I've also fixed the link in my previous post, which I see I somehow managed to balls up). Girth Summit _(blether) 15:04, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

I make a subpage in my userspace (i.e., you could create something like this) and add links to using this template: *{{spamlink|gnptimes.in}}; additionally, I tag any spammer talk pages with a link like this: [15]

That renders like this: examplespamlink.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

Next to "Linksearch", you'll want to click both "en" and "(https)" to check for new spam (one for http links, one for https). A little bit of a pain, admittedly. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:17, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Earlier today I added Kate Beckinsale's new film "Jolt" to her 2016-to-present section and the lead section. You deleted it from the lead section. Did you mean to also delete it from the 2016-to-present section? ErnestKrause (talk) 19:39, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Add an article to a partial block

Hello Ohnoitsjamie. You partially blocked the IP range 114.5.0.0/16 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) from editing Doraemon-related articles. I wanted to ask if you could add DORAEMON (and possibly other redirects) into this block too since IPs in the range have removed that redirect twice. Link20XX (talk) 10:14, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

We're limited to 10 targets on a partial block, but I did block a smaller range from editing Doraemon (anime) and full protected the DORAEMON article (I can't imagine any reason why that would ever need to change). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:09, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

New section deleted

Hello ohnoitsjamie, you have removed the section I have added to Alexander Lukashenko's wiki page on the grounds of it being 'not a reliable source'. Respectfully, I am asking to reconsider. The investigators from NEXTA Live conducted a very thorough investigation, talked to tens of witnesses and read through hundreds of documents. Perhaps, it's up to the viewers to decide how reliable their account is. Thanks in advance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by YuriBelarus (talk • contribs)

Thanks for your response. Respectfully, I am not using a telegram channel as my source, I am merely informing the readers that an investigation took place and directing them to view it. If the way I did it is not quite right, could you please suggest a better way of doing that? Thanks in advance, YuriBelarus (talk) 18:35, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

With all due respect, I am not using them as my source, I am merely stating that an investigation took place. There is no other source of this information because this was the only investigation of this nature. Also, the investigation I describe has been cited by reuters and Deutsche Welle.

List of fastest-selling products

Hello. I've seen your reverts at List of fastest-selling products. Not only that page, but it's talk page Talk:List of fastest-selling products has been taking a beating. It seems the vandalism has been going on for years and in trying to avoid reverting too far, I restored the talk page to an earlier version, but that seems to have made things worse as the activity has really ramped up since then. And I'm not sure if my latest revert was necessarily the best thing either.

My best guess is it's one individual trying to get both List of fastest-selling products and its talk page semi-protected. I'm relatively new around here and have no experience in how to best handle vandalism attacks to talk pages. Is it fairly common or a thing rarely needing to be dealt with? I am considering removing the page from my watchlist. --DB1729 (talk) 15:39, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I haven't had time to vet all of the references, though I do note that a few have been tagged "unreliable," so I'm not sure if we've reverted to the "best" version at this point. I can understand your frustration with it; I've removed pages from my watchlist for similar reasons. For now, I'm going to remove pointless requests from the talk, and can protect if necessary. Thanks, OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:49, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Recent block

I saw that you got pulled in here to make a block. That request seems to be a bit disingenuous. The requestor had already claimed "vandalism" as a basis for protection of a related NBA draft pick's article, which was denied. Moreover, there is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association#Second_round_draft_picks on how draft picks are to be displayed in the infobox, so it seems a bit heavy-handed to get someone blocked over a known disputed area. The user that was blocked is new, and I have left a warning on their page previously, but this doesnt seem like something they should be blocked over. The user requesting the block should have invited them to the central discussion, and did not disclose the ongoing circumstances when they pinged you. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 17:07, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Power chords

Yes, I would like to see more changes in the Power Chords section. Also an easier explanation of what power chords are. The information now is not clear. Next to an explanation of the term power chords perhaps show more examples and by climbing up the next using barre how many more power chords can be used from the 4 basic ones. Like G5 xxx003 giving a GBG sound. D5 xx023x giving a DAD sound. A5 x022xx giving an AEA sound and E5 022xxx giving a EAE sound. Rising those 4 examples up the neck gives for all chords (and half-note-chords) more than 6 possibilities how to play each power chord on a guitar. Like G5 as desribled xxx003 rised 1 fret gives G#5 xxx114 (G#-C-G#) and 2 frets A5 xxx225 (A-C#-A) and so on, going to max (on my guitar) C5 x-x-x-17-17-20 (C-G-C). Knowing that wikipedia is not a forum to discuss a change, I'm not certain how to write these changes. Bengud (talk) 12:14, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Your concern

Hi Jamie, you left me a warning. I have already received same warning from other editors on the same issue. Earlier, I had already immediately stopped after the first editor brought it to my notice today. Now<, I will try to address their concern. e.g. try to convert "see also" in a template or "list of things" etc type and replace large "see also" with that. While I work on it, hopefully other editors will stop issuing same warning. Please let others know if there is any notice board to please stop issuing same warning as I am already aware, already stopped, and will try to replace large "see also" with other solution. I feel bit depressed and left out. I will go to sleep to replenish my emotional and mental energy. Hopefully, warning from more people on this will stop while I work on remedial solution. Thank you. 58.182.176.169 (talk) 17:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

You'll need to get community consensus before you go trying to convert your exhaustive See also list into a new navigation template (that's what it sounds like you're proposing). When multiple people ask you to stop doing something, it's probably a good idea to figure out why. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Since as an IP I can not directly create articles. I usually submit the articles, which go through a review and approval "quality check" process. I can replace the "see also" with that new "list article". Other editors can directly take out what they feel is not good enough and they can add more what they feel I have left out. I am not emotionally "attached" to the topic, i.e. no strong feelings either way. As a reader, I just want to see things laid our in categorised context which otherwise takes reading of several articles to start grasping. I wish there already was a footer template or list article. These editors who are watching the articles might be pissed off for now, but once they see I am sincerely trying to create solution hopefully they will pitch in by directly and quickly cutting/adding stuff from the list article instead of long winding talk with me. Since, I am emotionally not attached to the topic, it is perfectly fine if the list I create is dramatically altered or recategorised by others. At least there will be a deeper richer "related context" around the articles. As of now, as a reader, that thirst for context has not been satisfied. Thanks for your reply and understanding. 58.182.176.169 (talk) 17:41, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Clarification please. Are you suggesting that it is not worth the hassle to create the solution above, and simple walk away which will pout an end to the issue? Yes, thats a quick and easy way. That will be "least effort" for me. usually if some one objects too me on wikipedia, I try to resolve their issue and then I take a break from wiki for several days/weeks. Reason I offered to go through the hassle of putting additional effort are several, I already put effort of reading many articles and now I have a conceptual map their relationship with each other, it will be good to document it which will be useful for other readers. Also, if people watching the article felt frustrated, I feel it is my ethical duty to remedy it (I owe the effort to them as a fellow editor). I will simply create the list or template, will let others chop/change as they wish. I do not want to debate with them. I am recreational editor who edits for fun. I get stressed with notifications and debates. Hence, I always avoid/minimize dispute. But, if some one comes to my talkpage, I try to resolve it. I noticed you have a mammoth talkpage and your tone is civil. Seems you are lot more experienced and mature-minded editor who has "relatively" seen more wiki-life. For these reason, I will go by your advice on "what do you think is better, shall I just drop this issue and walk away from it? or shall I persist with creating a list or template? In the end, I just want peace and happiness. Thanks in advance for your advice. 58.182.176.169 (talk) 17:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

The approach you were taking (adding a long list of topics to See also) is not supported by current consensus; we already have navigation templates, e.g. {{Religion topis}} and categories. I think it's great that you want to improve Wikipedia, and sometimes it's OK to be WP:BOLD, but doing so can bite if you make a series of large changes as you did. I'd start out small; pick out a particular article that you have suggestions for, and implement some changes in smaller steps. If you think we're missing a navigational/subject template, you could submit one for RFA, or propose changes for an existing template at the talk page. I'm not trying to dissuade you from editing, just trying to dissuade you from making a rapid series of large changes; that's the kind of thing that sets of alarms, and results in a bunch of folks leaving you warnings.

I tried to improve the page and I was working for days on collecting data and making the info map and at the end all of these efforts was gone by one click on the delete button , dear jam u know that I know that the content I added was understandable and salvageable but u chose to remove it rather than improve it or fix it by ur holy perfect English writing , ur job is to fix and remove the non logical content which contains lack of sources, but my content was filled with sources, I might have poor writing skills in English but that wouldn’t be enough excuse to remove most of the article, maybe if u told me that u hate ur job as editor and u were too lazy to fix the content I would excuse and I will close this discussion with much respect to u.

Talk:BTS

Hi Ohnoitsjamie, I was wondering if Talk:BTS needed to be semi-protected as well while the discussion is ongoing? There has been off-wiki canvassing ongoing on Twitter in which I have saw multiple trending tweets calling for other users (fans) to go to Talk:BTS (with the URL included) to voice their opinions. In addition, also like point out that several of the comments left by the other editors are newly created fresh account with their first edit being Talk:BTS. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 09:38, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm reluctant to do that unilaterally. While not all of the commentary is particularly useful toward article improvement (e.g., attacking the journalism of the article), it's not blatantly disruptive either (yet). If there was an ANI thread or some other consensus among the community to protect it, I wouldn't object to that. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Understood. Thanks you and happy editing. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:42, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ohnoitsjamie, is there anyway to retract my comments on the talkpage as the I have attacked by crazy fans in Twitter where they screenshot the comments and labelling me as antis. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:10, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Our policy regarding retraction of comments on an article talk page is here. In short, it depends on whether or not the comment has been responded to as to whether or not you can delete it. You can strike it out and amend it if you wish. Which comment are you talking about? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:19, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

I read about it, however I'm not sure if I remove it entirely as they labelled me as antis for just commenting my views on keeping the content. Comment from this revision is the one that screenshoted from posted onto Twitter. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:24, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

That seems like an even-handed comment to me, but obviously emotions are running high for this topic. You wouldn't think that a few neutrally-worded sentences about well-known publication's cover story would be this controversial, but here we are. I can understand how you wouldn't want to be commented on off-wiki, but sometimes it's sadly unavoidable when you're discussing contentious areas. If you want to distance yourself from the conversation, you could strike out the comment and append to it "I don't wish to further participate in this discussion" or something to that affect. If you receive any sort of harassment on-wiki, please take it to WP:ANI where it can be handled quickly. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:38, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Not quite sure about striking off the comments as I'm scare that they would go check the history logs and write nonsense again in their tweets. The same thing happened with the original poster that adding that controversial paragraph, he was doxed beyond repair. I think I just leave it there for now.

Because when I was new on wikipedia my edit was once reverted stating that changes can't be made during an ongoing rfc. Thank you. -ink&fables «talk» 18:54, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Per our WP:BRD process, editors who meet the WP:ECP criteria (30 days' tenure and 500 edits) may edit it. I'd recommend against wholesale deletion of the section, though. I don't think we have a broad consensus to do that yet. If someone doesn't have 30/500 criteria, they may propose edit request. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:25, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Well, I have no intention to unilaterally remove it, even the current paragraph is really acceptable than previous. Have a great week. Thank you. -ink&fables «talk» 06:09, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Injured players

Your intervention on my talk page is completely wrong as I never asked to put injury logos next to injured players... So if you are interested you should better read what I wrote on the FOOTY talk page and the Italy national team talk page. Then if a rule is applied to the Italy national football team it should be applied to all the other national football teams at least.--Bergenoslo (talk) 12:48, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Duck (noun, not verb)

Hey, Jamie. I was going to up the block on Joshua boniventure chen lovern iviiiiiii. (talk · contribs) to indefinite as a block evading sock based on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joshua Boniventure Chen 1.. I didn't want to step on any process you had initiated so I thought I'd stop by and check in. Say the word and I'll hold up; or if you want, you can do the honors. See ya 'round.

more Newsgram spam

Thanks for removing that spam from the Maharana Pratap for me, it's much appreciated. While checking over the spammer's contributions I noticed that they had submitted Draft:Munish Kumar Raizada for review, a draft written by RaiKashish who is very obviously an alt account/sockpuppet of the same user - they've spent the last year doing the exact same spamming but with newsgram.com rather than newsgram.in, e.g. [17] [18] [19]. They've also written a draft on the person who owns newsgram and an article on a doccumentary by the same person (Transparency: Pardarshita). What would be the best way to proceed here? 192.76.8.74 (talk) 18:20, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Battle of Barawa & Battle of Benadir

Hey there, thanks for helping clean up the page Battle of Barawa and blocking off the sockpuppet JohnSmitty25. That page along with Battle of Benadir has been twice protected already, but both remain the object of persistent vandalism for some time now, hence I put up a request for an Indefinite Extented Confirmed Protection on them, as sometimes I'm the only one who has to keep clean vandalism and that gets old. Best Regards. Wareno (talk) 18:06, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

I've added PC-protection for 3 months each. It's a bit frowned upon to use EC unless multiple attempts of using semi-protection have failed. PC gives us time to spot and block new socks before edits can stick. It's also a good solution for pages that don't have a lot of ongoing edits. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:11, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

IP block

You seemed to have blocked this IP from certain pages with the message "CheckUser block". Does this mean this IP is a sockpuppet of someone? And why are they blocked from "AnEsonGib, Cr1TiKaL, EZTV, IDubbbz, Joji (musician), Ryan Higa, TommyInnit, Wilbur Soot, List of Fast & Furious characters and Paul Walker filmography" - I don't see any contributions they made to any of those articles. Sorry if these questions seem trivial, I don't understand blocks very well and am trying to learn. Thanks.VR _talk 21:58, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

User:NinjaRobotPirate added the CheckUser comment; my name is on there because I added a few targets to the partial block for that (very large) range of IPs. I don't know anything about the CheckUser case. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:03, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I just saw this now. That partially explains my query. Would also be good to learn about the checkuser part.VR _talk 22:14, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

See WP:CHECKUSER. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:18, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

And regarding that block; that's a very large range of IP addresses in India. When we block a range, the larger the range is, the more likely it is we'll have "collateral damages"; that is, good-faith editors who also edit from that range are now unable to edit. In this case, I presume that NinjaRobotPirate determined that a vandal was operating from that range and targeting a group of articles, and as such, rather than fully block that range, he instead partial blocked the range just from editing those articles. I think I added a couple of articles to the partial-block, but those are most likely unrelated to the user targeted by NinjaRobotPirate's block. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

I understand now about the range block. But checkuser implies some sort of sockpuppetry as opposed to run of the mill vandalism, right?VR _talk 23:39, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Please Return Editing Privileges

Hi Ohnoitsjamie. I don't understand why you banned me from editing Gerti Daub for Disruptive Editing. It was editor Wes sideman who reduced the Daub article from what I believe had been a fairly good entry for about seven years to a very short one that lacked much of the pertinent information it previously contained. I changed it back several times and he did likewise. Would you please tell me why you consider my editing to be the disruptive kind and not his? I feel it is the other way around. I would ask that you please allow me to edit again. Thank you. 2600:6C50:7000:1:7181:A2B3:7A9F:8762 (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Your version had rampant neutrality issues and read like an inspirational hagiography. Your welcome to suggest changes on the talk page, but I'm not about to lift the partial block if you don't understand why your version was wholly inappropriate for an encyclopedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:02, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Ohnoitsjamie, I wish you would do some research about Gerti Daub and not just go along with Wes sideman's post. His version says: "Since 1965, Daub has resided in the village of Luhmühlen within the small municipality of Salzhausen in Lüneburg Heath." Daub has not lived in Luhmühlen in over eight years. She lives in an apartment in Hamburg after selling her country home. Also, you will see that it was both national and international news that Daub came in 5th in the Miss Universe contest when almost everyone thought she would win. Coming in 5th in the Miss Universe contest wasn't that newsworthy by itself. As currently written, the Daub article leaves out the most important information about her. Rwgutmann (talk) 08:10, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello. You claim that the article of contention in the South Korea article is reliably sourced. All the article says is that the government funded a ministry. Is funding a ministry the same thing as a government funding an entire industry? Please read my response to you on the talk page. I do not wish to make biased edits or break any rules, but this one is simply misrepresented and clearly written by users who want to present their biased opinions about South Korea. Otterslort, who made the reversion, has a history of making biased edits such as this I am not claiming the article is false but that what it is claiming is misrepresented and miscited. Would really appreciate it if you could please look into this carefully. Thank you. Qwertyasdf0192363 (talk) 16:05, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Qwertyasdf0192363

I'm not sure where to take this but Qwertyasdf0192363 has continued to attempt to continue to force their views at South Korea. They have been harassing users on their own talk pages[40] and claiming other editors "clearly have anti-Korean bias"[41] they whole time ignoring every argument against their edits and generally claiming WP:IDHT.

Now they are resorting to making WP:POINTy edits to Japan[42] and Taiwan[43] making the exact same edits they claim shouldn't be made to South Korea. I think they are here to right great wrongs and not so much actually work with others. This comment makes it very clear these edits are retalitory POINT edits. Notfrompedro (talk) 22:44, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@Notfrompedro: Oh no. I accept the viewpoint and the consensus of other editors on the talk board that any investment by the government in its culture shows that its culture is supported by government funds. As you told me, I accept the consensus and "drop the stick." In order to present this viewpoint, which has been well and strongly argued by users like you, I found additional information about other countries who fund their cultural aspects and cultural reach globally. I supposed an article from TIME is a reliable and appropriate source of evidence and it directly claims Japan has invested multimillion dollars on its culture. See Cool Japan. And with my statement on anti-Korean bias, I provided enough evidence of those users' previous edits. And I was also personally attacked by the user Horse Eye's Back and all I did was leave a comment about his personal attacks as stated in WP:CIV. Just because you want to claim that a polite comment left on a talk page after a personal attack that followed Wikipedia guidelines is a "harassment" does not make it a "harassment." The facts are there.Qwertyasdf0192363 (talk) 22:59, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Just like following me around to here your "comment" wasn't a one time thing. You edit warred to keep readding it to another user's page. You are harassing people to make a point. Notfrompedro (talk) 23:03, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

I am not making a point. I left a comment after the user personally attacked me, which was ignored by that user with a sarcastic comment, so decided to do it one more time. That is not called a harassment, I was simply following WP:CIV since you like these code of conduct stickers so much. You following my edits, which are based on your exact arguments and claims, and calling them incorrect, and going to @Ohnoitsjamie: as if I am harassing or doing something with blank evidence should be called harrassment. Leave ohnoitsjamie alone.Qwertyasdf0192363 (talk) 23:09, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

There seems to be a bit of an issue with Notfrompedro about anyone who does not align with his views. He continuously provides evidence from one side of view and interprets them as he likes, and seems to be enjoying "playing the police" incorrectly, as shown when he reported users for vandalism, which was immediately overturned by the wikipedia administrators, for a situation when he himself was also engaging in edit warring. Just because you can't accept a person's argument does not mean you can suddenly start thinking all the code of conducts and rules on your side and you can slap them with blank evidence.Qwertyasdf0192363 (talk) 23:12, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@Notfrompedro: If you truly believe my actions are harrassments and against the Wikipedia code of conduct, you can report me to the adminitrator's board with your so-called evidence and try to get me blocked. Those people won't just look at your "code of conduct stickers" and feel a "consensus" to act in a certain way but they will actually view the facts as they are presented. There is no reason for you to bother Ohnoitsjamie about this issue. Thank you. Qwertyasdf0192363 (talk)

Assistance needed with another editor

Hey Jamie. I need your assistance with User:Lynchenberg. For months now, this editor has attempted to insert autism connections, including accusation of discrimination or hatred against people with autism, into articles it doesn't apply to. My first encounter with Lynchenberg was several months back in which they attempted to add a claim into the Mr. Bungle article stating that the band took its name from a nickname they gave to an autistic child that they bullied. In reality, the source provided for the informationstates that they got the name from a 50s children's health film. While they did refer to a child in their class by that name afterward, it mentions nothing at all about autism and whether they bullied the child or not regardless. I thought the conversation we had on the article's talk page[44] would be the end of that but it continues in other places.

Last month, after Mindless Self Indulgence singer, Jimmy Urine was accused of sexual abuse of a minor, Lynchenberg began leaving a series of edit summaries on both articles,with statements like "I never wanted him to get in any trouble, don't you know that he has autism? Just leave him alone." even when the change the summary was connected to had nothing to do with autism. In fact, not only does the article not mention the singer being autistic, a simple Google search connecting the singer and autism brings up zero results. The only mention of Jimmy Urine having autism is here via Lynchenberg's assumptions. When this was brought up to them, some sort of unusual threat was made in response.[45]

Most recently, Lynchenberg has been asking other users to find them sources backing up his own claims that Mr. Bungle singer, Mike Patton, is prejudiced against autistic people because they can't find any sources other than their own claims. When another user said that, regardless of sources being found or not, this could be a BLP problem, Lynchenberg brought up the Jimmy Urine accusations listed above and accused the editor of wanting to see autistic people in pain. When I mentioned that there's a chance of it not being a BLP problem, not just in the article but also making the accusation via the talk page, which is exactly what they were doing, the response was to assume that I wanted Lynchenberg to commit suicide. They then added that they are hopeful that Patton, who just cancelled tour for both of his bands due to mental health issues, does in fact commit suicide himself.[46] I can't imagine that publicly wishing that article subjects commit suicide doesn't break the rules of Wikipedia and I believe this needs all needs to be addressed once and for all.

Removal of new award listed on Burnaboy page

Hello, i recently edited what i saw in tabloids with verification from the website. And you removed it, kindly inform me on the reason for removal. Chinez nmegwah (talk) 15:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

There's no evidence that the award itself meets any of our notability criteria; Wikipedia is not an advertising platform for your website. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:15, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

You reverted on the basis of "unsourced notability." That's not a valid reason on this list due to the fact it was decided in a discussion that sources aren't necessary. When you revert or remove an entry, you do so on the basis of there is no article. An article which establishes notability is required. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 06:18, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

I removed entries that had neither an article nor a source. If there is an article, I would assume (hope) that the article would contain reliable sources. Talk page discussions don't get to override WP:V. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:48, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

It's been discussed on multiple occasions including me bring it up again in 2018. But the result remained the same. No references needed. You can find the discussions if you search the archive. Basically, if an entry has an article, it should establish notability and have the sources to back it up. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 03:51, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Please try re-reading my original response; the part where I said neither an article nor a source. I'm not disputing that entries that have a linked article don't need additional references on the page. I'm simply saying that the only entries I've deleted are entries that had neither.

Good 4 U

As you were the last admin to semi-protect the article about a couple of months ago [47], I decided to come to you regarding this article. The reason for the semi-protection (the most recent which lasted three weeks) was primarily the genre warring going on, with IPs persistently removing the "grunge" genre from the infobox, and at times also from the rest of the article, even though the genre is sourced. This problem has not gone away since the expiration of the protection period, though likely not as bad as prior to the semi-protection in July. I placed a request at WP:RPP for another semi-protection at the end of August, which went ignored ([48], for some reason this doesn't appear in the RPP archives). In my request, I said something about wanting it semi-protected for a while (on the order of months), but at this stage, I won't go that way. Could you please review the article? I'd be OK with pending changes at this point. MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:35, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Sanat Sawant

Hello, Ohnoitsjamie,

I was dealing with a recreation of this page under a slightly different title and I noticed that you protected this draft page. But you put the settings so that "Require template editor access" which I hadn't seen before...I've seen requiring autoconfirmed, extended confirmed and administrative status but this one was new to me. Was this intentional or a slip with a pull-down menu? Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:34, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Intentional; I wish I could find where I originally became aware of that "convention," but my recollection is that it's a way of avoiding full protection (which I try to avoid if possible), but requires a level of access that typically only trusted users would have. Someone else pointed it out to my awhile back, but like I said, I haven't been able to dig up that conversation (or a guideline page). Would you suggest a different level for that particular page? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Indian UPE range

Jamie, what do you think of blocking the range 122.177.0.0/16 sitewide for a year? They've recently been removing criticism from Raheja Developers, which can of course be semi'd (and is, right now), but still. When I tried to add more pages to the partial block,[49] I came up against the limitation of partial blocks: only ten pages may be specified. "If conditions require additional blocking, a conversion to a standard sitewide block should be considered"[50] says WP:PBLOCK. Oh la la, that's all very fine when it's an account, or an IP, but being able to specify more pages would be quite useful for a big range like this IMO. I tried looking at the range's contributions, but the search crapped out, understandably, so I don't know if maybe there's a massive amount of constructive editing from other people on the range. It feels a bit hairy to block such a big range sitewide, so I thought I should ask. You probably understand these things better than I do (not much of a compliment, actually), and I notice from the log that you blocked them for a year in 2020. What's your opinion this time round? Bishonen | tålk 13:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC).

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like a partial block of the smaller range 122.177.64.0/20 would cover Raheja Developers. The partial block message at the top of that page can be deceiving; it shows the partial block for the larger /16 range. I do my best to avoid blocking large ranges with any fair amount of constructive editing; I have a preference setting somewhere the highlights edits that are likely bad, which can be a good (if not inexact) which helps in making that determination. I'd estimate that at least 50% of the edits from range are not useful, probably 75%. If we blocked that entire range, we'd lose a handful of potentially constructive edits, but maybe those folks would be encouraged to create an account? (I've noticed that the mobile ranges I use are frequently blocked when I've tried to make minor copyedits on the fly). Unless I'm misreading the logs, I don't think I've ever fully blocked that range for a year; I fully blocked it for a month or so at a time when we were getting a lot of customer care/reservations # spammers on it. If a full block seems to make sense, I think 3 months would be a good place to start. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:51, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

I might as well hold off for now, since Raja Developers is protected for three months anyway. But the log for 122.177.0.0/16 says you blocked the range for a year at 15:35 UTC, 22 August 2020. Was that actually the smaller range 122.177.64.0/20 that you blocked? I guess I don't understand how the block log works. :-( Bishonen | tålk 17:10, 29 September 2021 (UTC).

Yes, I partial blocked that range for a year; sorry, thought you meant fully blocked. Since they were only targeting one page, semiprotection probably makes more sense in this particular case. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive IP accounts.

Hello Ohnoitsjamie, seems a Anon IP(88.230.169.26) is is restoring its disruptive edits at the Van cat article. He is also using another IP to perpetuate its POV on that article. He also keep a POV SOAPBOX attitude on other editors because of their nationality. He was reverted the last time. But can you cast a warning on him or maybe block him.Mr.User200 (talk) 01:57, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

No? and I don't have another IP. You wrote Anatolia instead of Turkey, that's factually wrong. Anatolia doesn't include eastern Turkey. And if you're talking about geographic regions of Turkey, then it should say "Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey" since such description was defined by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Geography_Congress,_Turkey

"Armenian Highlands" was wrong as well since it includes regions from Iraq and Armenia as well which the cat doesn't even inhabit. When I check your user info I see you always making such edits, and fighting over little things like this about Turkey.

When a user comes to wiki about Van Cats he/she should know which country they inhabit in first paragraph. It's like, we wouldn't be writing and saying that Kangal dog lives in Armenian Highlands would we? It originates from city Sivas in Turkey.

Please take this issue to WP:DR, I'm not interested in getting involved in silly nationalism disputes at the moment. If we had solid sources that said that cat was from Anatolia or the Armenian Highlands, that would be one thing, but all of the sources I've found so far simply say that the cat is from the Lake Van area.

Sockpuppetry by blocked IP

Hi, Ohnoitsjamie. You blocked 2601:543:4200::/39 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) in July on two pages, but I recently noticed that they have been repeatedly reverted on many pages for disruptive edits to American football articles. I also noticed that the range is being used by the same editor as the account Sellpink, as they have the same changes and edit summaries regarding the word "title": [51] [52]. The overlap looks to go back several years. I'm not exactly sure how to deal with this type of sockpuppetry on an IP range, and I was hoping you could look into the issue or point me in the right direction. Thank you. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 05:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

The NFL edits are coming from a smaller range that is already blocked; see [53]. /39 is a very large range; we do our best to avoid full blocks of ranges that large. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Date-changing vandal from Oslo

Hi, Jamie. Could I persuade you to look at 81.167.113.53 and consider some kind of block? User is from/in Oslo, Norway, and used to change IPs more often, but this last address has been stable for weeks now. The problem: the user's raison d'etre is to change existing dates (without new sources) or to add entirely new dates (w/out sources). Their last three edits to The Whispers changed the arrival of group member Leaveil Degree to March 28th 1973, April 22nd 1973, and May 6th 1973, respectively. Appears therefore to be random additions for the kick, not just inept at citing sources. All w/out edit summaries, of course. Has had FOUR final warnings, but has never engaged at all, although apparently NOT using mobile. Thanks,— JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 20:35, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Danish discography vandal

Hi Jamie. A couple months ago you blocked a Danish range from editing several discographies, including the related Take That discography and Gary Barlow discography. They're now targeting Robbie Williams discography using the same range (213.237.89.174), and just mere minutes ago, using Special:Contributions/192.38.133.1. Would you be able to extend the block to this article and/or protect the page? I don't know the best approach here but the edits are bad and they clearly intend to keep making them.

Disruptive spam link removal.

Please be aware simply removing cited sources tagging as "spam" is disruptive. The key thing is to replace with an appropriate Template:Citation needed perhaps with reason=Previous citation blacklisted. This makes it easier for people to understand what is going on and to handle the situation and can especially avoid assumptions later citations are covering content they were originally not intended to. Please review your recent work and add Tempalte:Citations needed where necessary. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:01, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

You left a strange comment on my Talk page. The references to the Tate entries which you saw fit to revert are both contained in the articles of the people in question. Austin Tate's dob is contained in the infobox on his personal page; Emma Tate's is in a link provided on her page. No research outside those Wikipedia pages was involved. Your comment about defamation is bizarre and your threat vexatious.

Thank you. I had taken the IMDB source. So, on the basis that IMDB needs corroborating, I have added this further reference: https://www.xappie.com/person/emma-tate/211493, from quite a large number of sources on the Internet, and added it to her pageRcb1 (talk) 15:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC)rcb1

You may want to review WP:RS; it's very unlikely that anyone would consider a non-notable entertainment/gossip site to meet the criteria there. "Quite a large number of sources" is also not a WP:BLP criteria, as most of those are likely aggregating imdb info. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:30, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Request

Hi there Jamie, hope you're doing well. A page that you've protected in the past, Van Cat, is being edit-warred and POV edited with weird WP:OTHER edit-description arguments like this, completely ignoring the origins and historical background. That IP with different range was pushing same POV previously in the page, re-reverting multiple editors and edit-warring: [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62]. I left a notice in their talk page but to no avail.

The IP just re-reverted again, calling the 400,000 km2 Armenian highlands a “mountain”. Lead of the article was accurate per Lake Van page as well, where the cats inhabit, but that doesn't stop IPs. Another IP removed information with no explanation. Can you protect the page? ZaniGiovanni (talk) 15:37, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Where is the source that says that cat is from the "Armenian Highlands"? Awhile back I looked for one, but was unable to find a ref. One of the archive pages suggested "Lake Van region," which seems to be consistent with most sources I've seen. At the end of the day, we have to go by what reliable sources says. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:16, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Lake Van where the cat originates from, is currently the largest lake in the plateu and has been for quite some time.Meiklejohn, John Miller Dow (1895).

I'm not questioning the existence of Armenian Highlands as a place. I see that Lake Van is within a region known as the Armenian Highlands, but I have yet to find a source that says that the cat is from that larger region, versus simply from the immediate region of Lake Van, a smaller subset of the larger region. I'd suggest WP:DR, as this is a content dispute. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
