Hi, you recently blocked User:49.150.58.202 for disruptive editing - thank you! Unfortunately, the user continues to misuse their talk page. Is it possible to revoke an IP's talk page access? Would you consider doing so for this IP? Many thanks, Railfan23 (talk) 02:20, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey again. User:49.150.58.202 is up to their old tricks again on their talk page despite the 6-month block you gave them. Could you revoke their talk page access again? Many thanks, Railfan23 (talk) 01:38, 16 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

You recently blocked this user for 72 hours. You may want to extend the block as the same user has been making the same disruptive edits under several IP addresses (see here for another example). Rikster2 (talk) 21:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jamie, you kindly blocked User:49.150.58.202 for 1 week recently. They are the IP trying to create an article on their talk page despite frequent requests that they not do so. The block just expired, and I'm afraid they're right back at it: [1]. Any chance you could take a look? Many thanks, Railfan23 (talk) 02:41, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Block evasion

edit

Hi Jamie. You blocked TheCrown15 here yesterday for disruptive edits however I see they are making similar edits using an IP address today. I could take this to SPI but I thought perhaps as the blocking admin you may be interested. If you look at the articles they edit and the edits they make it would seem to me they are highly likely connected. As far as I can tell TheCrown15 is most likely a sock of another blocked master account (User:BushidoBrown). Are you open to looking into this or would you prefer I take it to SPI? If you are I'm happy to show you some diffs. Robvanvee 15:27, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi again Jamie. Same guy, same edits. Here you see the very recently created MYDTCC.EDU making the exact same edit TheCown15 (who you indeffed for block evasion in August) disruptively made then. The other article this "new" user has edited was a favourite of The Crown15, Murder Inc Records which also stinks of block evasion. I see you indeffed TheCrown15 back then for block evasion but I can't see a link to who the master sock was. Could you look into this if you are able please. Thanks.

Re your cmt at AIV

edit

Hi! just in regards to your comment, yes not vandalism, but unconstructive nonetheless -- at least from where I was standing (no edit summary, at the start of the article, a link about a museum of the suburb (?), and repeated attempts despite the warnings). Surpassing the final warning, of course I was going to report to AIV... Kind regards, —MelbourneStartalk 15:08, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Looks like a competence issue; user is new to Wikipedia, kind of stumbling through it. That said, a block is appropriate if the user continues to bungle things up and doesn't respond to talk page feedback. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:25, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Stop deleting factual information just based on your personal opinion. Ask for a consensus.

edit

Consider this your last warning for WP:COI edits. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:33, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

You have twice deleted something which is factually correct. I'd expect more than one person's opinion before deleting something, or calling it useless. How many other editors did you consult to determine if those lists were "useless"? At Rice, the list came from a student committee (FYI: I was not a participant in any way). Only about 20 students were included in the list the year I was included. I don't remember how many at SDSU were included.

Phil Konstantin (talk) 07:07, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Factually correct" doesn't mean that it belongs in an encyclopedia. Cleaning up an article doesn't require "consensus" unless there are disagreements from other "neutral" editors. Per WP:COI, you should not be editing your own article (unless it's to remove blatant vandalism or unsourced assertions), but you're welcome to bring up concerns and suggestions on the talk page. The article needs plenty more pruning to remove trivia that doesn't belong in an encyclopedia (GPAs, etc). Feel free to file an WP:RFC on the talk page for the article if you want input on that. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:57, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

For what it is worth, I did not add those comments about being included in Who's Who in two different Universities 20 years apart, or almost nothing else in the article. Some of that material came from biographies of me which appeared online at various TV stations, and book publisher's websites. I did correct one flatly inaccurate but uncontroversial line, some time ago. Years ago, one editor told me I needed to add what computers I helped run at NASA. Since they told me I should add it, I did. Then another editor said I shouldn't be the one adding things. A few editors claim I have not done enough worthy things to merit an article. That's their opinions, and they are welcome to it. Other editors have felt the article was appropriate. Recently, one of the anti-inclusion editors added quite a few (Citation Needed) markers on the article. Since I am not allowed to add things to the article about me, I provided quite a few sources or citations in the Talk section. I also notified the editor who added the Citations Needed markers of the citation I placed in the Talk section. That editor did not reply, or update the page. Since then, six months later, those citations have not been added to the article. Many of the corrections I have suggested in the Talk section over the years remain there, unaltered. While my life will not end if the article is deleted, I admit it is nice to have it. So, when people complain about my lack of meritorious qualifications, and factual material is deleted, it makes me wonder if this is just a ploy by those anti-inclusion editors. If you delete the accomplishments or things which have happened in my life, then it is easier to justify deleting the article. No offense is intended toward you. Phil Konstantin (talk) 19:26, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Removing triva is not "anti-inclusion." You will be hard pressed to find any other biographical articles that mention a subject's high school GPA and what clubs they were in. Your concerns with the article belong on the article's talk page. If you want other opinions regarding what the article and and shouldn't include, please create an WP:RFC, though it's probably make sense to wait a week for the result of the newly filed AfD. Regarding your comments about trying to address the "citation needed" tags, websites created or maintained by you (americanindian.net) do not ualify as reliable sources.

AfD withdrawn

edit

Hi, in this AfD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Svante_Thunberg in which you voted an hour ago, the person who nominated the article on my behalf (because I don't have an account) choose to withdrew the nomination because, I don't know, a spat? I told him to consider to abstain from voting and he reacted by withdrawing the nomination. Could you possibly re-open it? I don't think he should be able to withdraw a vote that was actually initiated by somebody else (i.e. me). I can ask somebody else to open a new separate vote again (like I did the first time at Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion as IP are instructed to ) but a couple of people had already voted, so it seems a little like a waste of everybody's time.110.165.186.42 (talk) 15:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Blocked "Juice Bucket YouTube" user from editing

edit

Hi Ohnoitsjamie, you have blocked me from editing for 8 days. The reason you have mentioned is I am using Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. Firstly when I was creating the account I have tried using my name wiki told that username already exists and I tried Juice Bucket wiki again told username already exists. So I tried Juice Bucket YouTube and it accepted, promoting my channel was not at all my intention. I am new to this so if you can guide me how to change my username I am happy to change it (since you thought I am doing it for promoting my channel, in future someone else also might think that way). Secondly I have not included any of my channel links or video links in any Wikipedia page so could you please let me know on what basis I was banned. Also please let me know if you have any further questions or information needed on this issue.

Hope everyone will get justice. Juice Bucket YouTube (talk) 06:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I don't see anything in the blocked for your account, or in the last 500 blocks I issued, so I'm not sure which block you are talking about. I don't remember every blocking anyone for 8 days; that's an odd # of days for a block. Was the block you're talking about on a different account or on an IP address? In any case, if you'd like to change your username, please see the instructions/policies here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:07, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Not in awhile. I contacted a university once because I was hesitant to block their range, wanted to give them a chance to take care of the problem themselves. It's not unusual to block school IPs for a year or more. If a new school IP hits Matthew Stafford, let me know and I'll block this range. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:18, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
I already blocked the /26 since multiple IPs from the range were involved originally. Was asking about contacting the e-mails on the whois because the kids posted their Snapchat handles, which would make it very easy for the school to figure out who was behind it.

So basically you are saying there is no meaning in MOS:ALLCAPS and I should not follow these policies. I have been working on different articles and whenever I nominate any article all experienced editors' most common suggestion is of removing Souting in refernce (you can check my recent nom, and there suggestions about shouting in reference without which the artcile could not be GA or FA or FL). The Caps should be in only proper noun case, not in every words even if it is in the Title. Dey subrata (talk) 21:35, 28 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

List of German people of ....

edit

I spent in total many hours only f.e. only for the List of German people Turkish descent (to found out all the famous people of Turkish descent, etc.) and this takes much pain in the work. I shouldn‘t meant it badly when I‘m saying that I am range and no I cannot an accept this and don’t understand why you want to destroy all my work that I did. These lists (Turkish, Kurdish, Lebanese, etc.) were also only thought of an beginning, I wanted to do it step by step to many others countries (I start with the Orient, than I will do countries from East Europe, East & South Asian, than countries from sub-saharan-Africa, etc...), but all step by step. Why I do these lists? For example the List of German people of Turkish descent? I wanted to inform strangers - and that is the main sense of Wikipedia (Wikipedia should inform people and be a platform of knowledge, like a lexicon). But what I unfortunately see is more censorship and abuse. I only wanted to do a harmless list - also for me, but especially for other people, a list where everyone can see which promis have these and these origin and yes of course this also includes people who have not an article yet. You have to know, in Germany many people always asking, from which origin is this rapper or this youtuber, etc... and they want to know are there other f.e. singer, rapper, athletes who are of ... or ... origin. Know everyone have a list you find nowhere im the internet. Yes you can say it is an overview of prominent people who are (xy) descent.

So my idea was to do a list you found nowhere in the internet, where you have ALL the prominent people of the same origin in one list togehter, for example all rapper of Turkish descent who have some fame, a complete list, where also everyone can add persons etc... that was what I think and it is big project and than I see that people don‘t respect the work I did, destroy all the work, and delated almost the half of the article! Ok, if the informations in the article are all wrong or not correct or up-to-day than I could understand, but this was not the case. And this made my angry, there is not reason. That only happened because many people did not have an wikipedia article yet. This should be the only reason??! If you ask me, this is very ridiculous, and yes for me this is much harder and worser than all the other article vandalisms.

If it were up to me, everyone of those who are in the list deserve ad own article, but you don’t know how hard it is for example to do articles for everyone. This is too much for me, I can‘t and will do such a thing. It costs too much time and and it is mostly not easy and mostly also not possible to find more than only few informations. The only thing you find about a promi is his/her artist name, his/her profession, his/her country (f.e. Germany) and his/her origin (f.e. Turkey). For example, Xiara. She only released three songs and many audio additions, but of course she is a notable person. Her last song with Dardan was a big hit in Germany, has ca. 10 million views after 2 months which ich mich for Germany, and she also has more than 100,000 Instagram followers which is much for someone who only released three songs. I have researched, but I don’t found many informations, only that their parents are from Turkey. But you need more informations, otherwise the article of course will be delated.

The thing: Firstly, the article is for all people who have some fame so if you have more than 100.000 on a song (which is much) you are relevant for the list. And secondly, the fact that they did not have an Wikipedia article also doesn‘t made them not notable. For example Dilara. She has ca. 3 million Instagram follower (Yes, she is famous in Germany and many knows). You want to indirectly says or suggest that she or promis like Mert Matan, Hatice Schmidt, CanBroke, Nihan, Denizon, Samarita, Erencan, Batu, Ali471, MEL, Melisa Carolina, Hasibe, Derya, Kadr, etc. are not is not notable, but all these many football players of Turkish origin that hardly anybody knows and who were all not good enough for the Bundesliga (the first German league), but are all in the list and all have an article, are relevant enough to be mentioned in this list and notable, but people who have hundreds of fans not? Is it a joke? If you put all these (I think unknown) footballer on these list, than you also have to put Xiara, etc. on this list. Otherwise the list is joke and strange and not fair because many people who are famous are missing, while all these footballers and singer on the list for example who are not so famous are listed.

I hope you can understand a little more and I hope you will stop these actions (I mean delating all the people in the lists who have not an article now, but have sources in form of weblinks —> this cannot be a solution). Otherwise than I will try to delate all the whole articles (and I will move all my complete lists to User:Jnnc19 articles so there are not all completely gone, although I don‘t like it) because I don‘t see the sense on the list when famous people are all missing and much more unknown people are part of the list because is no sense. But I hope, it doesn’t come so far. It would be very, very pity.

If you have suggestion for improvements or want to make a positive contributions to the article and add more people than of course I would be happy and you are welcome.

Best Regards!

I have also looked at other lists on Wikipedia and they all have also people listed that doesn‘t have an article. You cannot not do a List of last survivors of historical events, but forget important or famous people only because they have not a Wikipedia article yet. The same is going with List of German people of Turkish descent and something like that. That someone has not a Wikipedia article doesn‘t mean that he or she is not relevant or important enough for the article. If any Miss Turkey or German is relevant enough for such a list, than the rapper and youtuber I have listed are also relevant enough. The List is called „List of German people of Turkish descent“ and not „List of German people of Turkish descent with a Wikipedia article“. --Jnnc19 (talk) 11:33,3 November 2019 (CET)

I will continue deleting entries that do not meet criteria for listing, per WP:V and WP:BIO. If you know over other lists that have redlinked entries that are missing either a reliable source or a link to another language wiki, those should be deleted as well. I'm already giving those lists a fair amount of slack by not deleting entries that only have articles in other language Wikipedias, as technically other wikis do not count as reliable sources. I understand that your additions are in good faith, but you've been warned twice (the last warning being a final one) and given the relevant policy links. Please heed the warnings and focus your efforts elsewhere. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:55, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
No, you didn’t. You have delated ALL people who have not a Wikipedia article. Every person I have listed in the page is linked to a reliable source so I follow all the Wikipedia rules and did nothing wrong and also didn‘t break any rule. If I have no sources given than I can understand that you delated things. But the person I have listed have all sources and proofs that they are of Turkish descent. Which warning? You have warned me or what do you mean? And I also don’t know what is your problem and why you are so strict? --Jnnc19 (talk) 16:17, 3 November 2019 (CET)
„If a person in a list does not have a Wikipedia article about them, a citation....“ Yes and this is what I have done, so what is the problem??? --Jnnc19 (talk) 16:25, 3 November 2019 (CET)
An individual's Youtube or Instagram account is not a reliable sources for establishing notability. It's what we call a primary source. You need third-party reliable sources for that. An acceptable source would be an article in Juice or some other established news or music site that had non-trivial coverage of the individual. Links to the subject's Facebook, Instagram, or Youtube account are not acceptable source. Links to genius.com are not acceptable either, as those profiles are not under editorial control; anyone can create them. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:33, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Youtube videos or songs and Instagram posts/storys from the persons themselves are the most reliable sources that exists because you have their own spoken word of the persons! A article of an foreign person for example Juice is not as reliable as an Youtube video of a Youtuber who said in his/her video that for example my parents are from Turkey. I also wrote to admins from German Wikipedia and they also said that links to Instagram or Youtube videos are ok and reliable and acceptable sources. Almost every article I have wrote have Youtube, Twitter or Instagram links and I also every second article on English and German Wikipedia have such links and then you want to told me that they are not acceptable sources???!!! What I did in the list is the same that I did with all the other articles I have written and nobody has a problem. You are the first one who said this. What I have used are "Self-published sources" and yes that are reliable sources after Wikipedia rules. Ok and I will remove all the Genius links and will replace them with direct links to their songs, but that changes nothing based on the article. --Jnnc19 (talk) 16:56, 3 November 2019 (CET)
Every language Wikipedia is independent of one another. I'm telling you what the policies are on English Wikipedia; policies from other wikis are irrelevant here. Direct links to songs are not reliable sources for establishing notability. You're going to be blocked if you resume adding entries that don't have suitable links. I've explained the policies clearly to you here and provided you with plenty of policy links. Please don't let a case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT lead to a block. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:59, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
What are you talking is wrong. Of course, direkt links for example to songs are reliable sources. Why all the articles in Wikipedia have sources like for example tweets of a person if it is against the rule. Sources like for example Songs are accepted as a source if it is for example the person himself who said this. If I did a video an said: „Mero‘s parents are from Turkey“ of course this is not accepted as a reliable source. But if Mero himself or f.e. his best friend says in a youtube video: „My parents are from Turkey“ than this of course a reliable and acceptable source and that is also what I have learned from Wikipedia. I have also explained the Wikipedia policy to you and you are I think the only one of Wikipedia who have this opinion. So if you will blocked me, this is against Wikipedia rules.

--Jnnc19 (talk) 17:15, 3 November 2019 (CET)

I'm not talking about sources to establish whether or not the individual is Turkish, Palestinian, or whatnot. I'm talking about sources to establish whether the person meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. Our WP:BIO policy is pretty clear in this regard; "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Note the "independent of the subject" part; that's the part the explicitly excludes the subject's own social media pages. I'm not discussing this further, as I don't feel like I can be any more clear about what our policy is. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:28, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

List of hijabis from Germany

Hi! Thanks for your reversal at List of hijabis from Germany. I am worried about the creation of such an article. It targets Muslim women who wear a particular piece of clothing, with no particular context or relevance. Why do we need such a list?

I'm not a big fan of niche lists in general.

Unblock Appeal/Request

I appeal for the unblocking of User talk:Odzwale who has been blocked for being on the same Ip address with User talk:Babalee11 who was blocked for promotion and advertisement. He has also been subsequents. I'm organizing a campaign/edit-a-thon at my University. Timmylegend (talk) 08:52, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Odzwale will need to file their own unblock appeal. I do acknowledge that it's possible that Odzwale is unrelated to Babalee11; Odzwale should note that in their appeal, and if they were part of a university project, describe that as well. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:41, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

You still owe me a apology for what you did. I created the ANI, I notified you about it but you haven't said a word on it. Are you avoiding the whole situation because you know you messed up? Do the right thing. --Vauxford (talk) 21:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I don't apologize on demand. Amended OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:37, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Let's not turn this molehill into a mountain, please. I really think it would be best if you commented at ANI, before someone starts needlessly escalating a simple mistake. But, at least, if you're not planning on posting to the ANI thread, please let me know here so I can annotate the block log myself. True, apologies on demand don't mean much, and I don't usually understand why people demand them so often. But apologies when you do something wrong - whether demanded or not - are always the best thing for your karma. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:53, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
The user was blocked for about 5 minutes after restoring edits that several socks had recently reinstated; upon realizing there was a good chance it was a false positive, I unblocked. Had the user talked to me about it further after I unblocked them, I likely would've apologized, but I'm not going to encourage running off to AIV to "demand satisfaction" for such a trivial matter. I have at least one block on my history that I think is BS, but I'm not whining about it at AIV. I respect your perspective, Floquenbeam and am usually happy to acknowledge mistakes when approached in a reasonable and civil fashion, but refuse on principal to interact with this user any further. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
I understand they're aggravating you; but you have to understand you've aggravated them too, no? You blocked them for being a sock, and didn't mention in your unblock that this was a mistake, just made them promise not to do something they have a right to do. Can't you see how this would piss them off? And that them being pissed off could lead them to do things that would piss you off? Anyway, I don't mean to pester, and won't post here any more unless it is clear I'm welcome. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
What the heck did I do to you man? Now you ignoring me like I'm the bad person here! Well aren't you a ray of sunshine eh? So you just not going to apologies to me for blocking a innocent user?

You owe this editor and WP an apology. Your behavior was appalling and unbecoming for an administrator. The editing restriction you placed is not the way things are done here and you know it.

As a matter of personal principal, I'm not apologizing to the user under the circumstances; had they approached me directly first in a civilized fashion instead of immediately creating drama at ANI, I would've been happy to (as I have many times in the past for mistakes). Floquenbeam has already righted any wrongs (thank you, User:Floquenbeam), and I have no objections to those remedies. I will not be commenting on the matter further. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:28, 21 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Jamie, you may have to comment again. I might take this to Arbcom. Your conduct continues to be appalling. So far as Floquenbeam, he shouldn't take to clean up your mistakes. You should. Do you want to re-consider?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
WilliamJE, I really feel that all this is unnecessary. People make mistakes, it may be better to let it go. Backroom work is very tedious, and sometimes incorrect assumptions will be made while doing it. (I've made such assumptions when handling a user before, and i'm not even an admin. I was incorrect to do so for obvious reasons)
I will acknowledge that Jamie probably should've annotated the block to indicate that it was a mistake, and that their handling has not been perfect, but as of now everyone is ganging up on them, being unreasonably harsh, and putting unnecessary pressure on them when the problem has already been solved. They have a job to do, let them do it. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 20:39, 21 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Confusing edits

edit

Reverts such as this both introduce unsourced info, remove sources, and undo edits by other users (i.e. me) who are not sockpuppets. Why are you doing this? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:03, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Those edits were all made by a now-blocked sockpuppet of Jshpinar. I understand that it seems odd to remove sources, but per WP:DENY, we shouldn't encourage future socking, i.e., "how many edits can I get in before they figure out I'm a sock?" OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:06, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
(Actually, Wikipedia:Banning_policy#Edits_by_and_on_behalf_of_banned_editors is probably more relevant here than WP:DENY. It's fine to selectively restore/retain some of the edits if you think they should stand. I'm approaching this more from dealing with a prolific block evader. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Do you really think it's a good idea to restore all of the edits of a banned user? OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:14, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Sometimes the only way you can convince someone to stop evading their block is to tell them that policy allows us to unilaterally revert their edits. But, it's also true that established editors can restore those edits. Per WP:PROXYING, the editor who restores the sock's edits takes ownership of them. So, as long as the edits don't violate any policies or guidelines, it's legit, even if we think it's kind of annoying. You can always semi-protect articles to stop the socking if it gets bad enough. I get a bit anxious about that sometimes, though, because I fear that the sock will just move on to vandalizing other articles, and I won't be able to find the vandalism. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:55, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
OK. I'm concerned about the precedent we may be setting for Jshpinar, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Thanks, OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

User:Paleontologist99 socking again after their unblock

edit

I thought I should let you know that User:Paleontologist99 was indefinitely blocked for block evasion [10] and was later unblocked [11], but they are still continuing to sock under multiple IP addresses:

These three IP socks also geo-locate to the same location and ISP as the other ones that they were previously indefinitely blocked for: 50.196.213.1 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) [27] and here: 2602:306:CFC5:6240:5184:EEA5:36E9:64F4 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) 2602:306:cfc5:6240:c45a:d9c4:7ad7:fb51 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). They all edit similar articles and make similar changes to the articles. There are more examples of similarities between User:Paleontologist99 and their IP socks, but I chose just a couple examples; please let me know if you would like to see more diffs. Some1 (talk) 01:27, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the heads up. It's quite likely those edits are all from Paleontologist99; the question is whether or not the "logged out" editing was done in an abusive fashion (i.e., one of the reasons listed here). Do you know of any examples where those IP edits violated alt account/logged out policy? OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:42, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Maybe the 'Avoiding scrutiny' bit, such as this [28] from the IP and later near edit-warring on a different article about the same topic [29][30][31]. But I understand if that's not enough of an "inappropriate" use of editing while logged out. I guess I just have a lot of examples of persistent disruptive editing and WP:CIR issues from User:Paleontologist99, with the recent one being them adding unsourced material to the lead [32] (and marking it as minor when it's not) again after being warned about the exact same thing on a different article more than a week before [33][34][35][36]. They were also the one adding unsourced material to the leads of multiple articles [37][38][39], which is what they meant by their comment to you here [40]. I know from previous experience that User:Paleontologist99 stalks my contribution history, so if they see and read this section, hopefully they'll know not to edit inappropriately with those IPs in the future nor add unsourced materials to articles. Some1 (talk) 04:17, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

A wonderful new tool we have is the partial block. I place a partial (targeted) rangeblock on the range you are on. Someone on that range was having fun with one particular article, and now they are not, thanks to that very selective block. Because it's only for one particular article (for now), the risk for collateral damage is low. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:00, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Perry Caravello

edit

Hi there. I was surprised that, after revdel-ing the serious BLP violation to the article about Perry Caravello, it was still there an hour or so later. This is just to let you know that I took the initiative to report this to the oversight team, so it's now been completely redacted. I also felt the edit was so egregious that I have applied a one year block to User:4.14.20.26. I'm a very new admin who always likes to AGF with troublesome editors, but on this occasion I really felt it was appropriate. Do let me know if you think it was not justified. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 23:27, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'd agree with you that doxxing is egregious, definitely worth rev-delling, probably worth oversighting as well. Blocking the IP for a year is the part that's a bit questionable. I have no problems with blocking IPs for long periods of time if behavior warrants it, but only if I have a sense that the same vandal is returning to that IP (or multiple vandals are using it frequently, e.g. school blocks). Given that there's only one edit from that IP, we don't have a good sense of to what extent that IP is dynamic. On the other hand, we do now have the option of more targeted blocks via Wikipedia:Partial_blocks. There is less risk of "collateral damage" (blocking innocent dynamic IP users) that way. If it was me, I would've either blocked the IP for a shorter period (1 week? maybe) or just blocked them for that article for a longer duration. I've added that page to my watchlist; if we see additional attempts, we'll get a better sense of how and where to apply blocks.OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:35, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I welcome that feedback, and points taken. 'fraid I've not yet had a chance to master the partial block element, but will do so soon. I did think long and hard about the appropriate length, especially as I have always hated seeing certain other admins apply ridiculous length blocks for a repeated handful of fart-related edits from a school IP. Equally (and I am aware of the IP Blocking policy) I feel short blocks of a week for the most egregious edits sends quite the wrong message that we don't take some things seriously. I might have got this one wrong, and will reconsider it later in the week. But as I've stated on my user page, I am happy at this stage to have any of my admin actions changed or reverted without prior discussion if a more experienced admin feels I've not acted appropriately, or in the best interests of the Project or of other people. All the best, Nick Moyes (talk) 00:21, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Protection level for Draft:Sanat Sawant

edit

Hi Ohnoitsjamie,

Thank you for your quick actioning of and effecting the WP:SNOW closure of Draft:Sanat Sawant. While I'm not familiar with the details on this draft being tendentiously resubmitted without improvement, I noted that you salt protected the draft namespace title with Sysop-level creation protection. I see that the draft was created by an IPv6 editor, so I'm not sure if some autoconfirmed or extended confirmed editors were involved in editing this draft and for tendentiously resubmitting it, but given that Draft: namespace is not indexed by Google, at recent MfD discussions, Robert McClenon and I have often recommended, when required, either WP:AUTOCONFIRMED or WP:ECP level of indefinite creation protection for the Draft: namespace URL, to allow a neutral experienced editor to have another attempt should they be so inclined. I don't have any interest in working on this draft, but was wondering if, assuming extended confirmed editors were not working on this draft, you might consider lowering the protection level to ECP?

Cheers,
Doug Mehus T·C 00:56, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

That's a sensible suggestion; I've reduced the protection to ECP. Thanks for letting me know about the MfD discussions, it's hard to stay on top of those sorts of things that fall outside of typical policy links. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:43, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ohnoitsjamie, No worries. Yeah, for main article space, I think administrator-level salt is more appropriate in these cases. I don't expect we'll see any extended confirmed editor wanting to recreate this draft any time soon, but just in case you're unavailable, say, in a year's time, having it at ECP level just sort of reduces the bureaucracy to recreate the draft.

Another IP at the talk page of this multi-declined item, which you deleted and salted, and blocked account and IP yesterday. Eagleash (talk) 07:29, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Eagleash: Ah, because it was a creation protected edit request. What's the protocol in these situations, do we allow the talk page to remain without an article page, or do we creation protect the talk page at ECP as well, possibly with an edit notice to draft the article in userspace? Doug Mehus T·C 14:57, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Dmehus: Well, the talk page has already been deleted once via G8 I believe. I am not at all certain what the procedure here should be... it seems logical to protect the TP as well but there may be reasons not to do so. Editors may wish to make useful requests at some later date maybe? Eagleash (talk) 15:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
I requested the G8 deletion of the talk page the first time as I assumed Ohnoitsjamie had just forgotten to delete the corresponding talk page so, so far, it's only been recreated once. I'm not sure what our policy is on creation of the talk pages because, ultimately, where else does one request the ability to create a draft article? Perhaps a temporary ECP creation protection of, say, 3-6 months, to allow a "cooling off period"? Doug Mehus T·C 15:24, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Dmehus: I think it was correct to request deletion; not typical for someone to pesist like this. Short period of protection seems like a reasonable solution. Maybe a rangeblock? Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 16:58, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
ECP for three months on the talk page, rangeblocked 49.36.8.0/22. Maybe that will give them time to read some of the policy links they've been given, or get tired an move on to other venues. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:02, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

4 times 2nd what? You've been asked by several users to include sources when you add content. The facts and figures edits you are making to airline articles always require sources, not just some of the time; you added unsourced content as recently as April 16. I'm not taking the warning back; all you need to do is consistently add or update sources to support any material you add or change. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:56, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Final block warning by the admin

edit

Ok atleast tell me this may I know when you will take the warning back Ktdk (talk) 02:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

We don't "take back" warnings. You were given a final warning; that's it. As long as you don't add any more unsourced material, you're fine. If you do add unsourced material, you will be blocked; that's it. OhNoitsJamie Talk 03:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Zimbabwean young entrepreneur Ashlee Nyathi

edit

Jamie hope you well, safe and stay active. I saw you blocked Ashlee Nyathi page cause of not notable. Ashlee Nyathi is notable very well young entrepreneur from Mbare Harare. As he from Zimbabwe, he been on the news sources in Zimbabwe, almost all of his news articles. He can not be on new York time or USA Today because his not from there, hope you understand. He’s being on Newsday, Dailynews, The herald, The standard, allafrica and more. I can even send your his reference(links). so please can you unblock him. I really don’t know why people block Zimbabwean public figure, entrepreneur and celebrities

(1) That page was deleted by three different admins after multiple creations and warnings, which is why I blocked User:Ashlee_Nyathi. Earlier multiple attempts to create Ashlee Nyathi resulted in the page being salted, which is what we do when users have trouble understanding the phrase "no, you may not create an autobiography." (2) If that user wishes to be unblocked, they can follow the {{unblock}} link on their page and request it. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please could you look at the above article regarding possible copyvio. I am not skilled in the area so may be wrong. I did not want to edit war. See my summary.SovalValtos (talk) 11:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the various steps you have taken.SovalValtos (talk) 08:34, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ice hockey notability guidelines

edit

Hello! My past 7? or so page creations pass the notability guidelines because those players are either on the First or Second All-American Teams. The international player pass it because they've played a game in one of the leagues listed in the guidelines. Since stats don't get updated until after the season, those may not be as clear unless you go to their stats page on another site. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Deprod notice

edit

I declined your proposed deletion of Imo's Pizza. I'm not sure if it's notable, either, to be honest, but a Google search seems to indicate it's a fairly important chain in it's region. I found a short review in a St. Louis-area newspaper fairly quickly. I'm not sure if it's notable but I think it at least deserves an AFD. Hog Farm (talk) 04:12, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well, with John Hamm as a customer, maybe you're onto something! They do have a fair amount of news hits, enough fodder for WP:GNG that it would likely survive an AfD. The "32nd largest" part was what zoned in on, but I guess we have quite a few of these articles. I appreciate the courtesy notification, cheers! OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Whiteboards

edit

Hello. I am confused as to why my edit on the Whiteboard page was removed. The information I added was straight from the "[1]" reference source listed already on the page. There are several other articles on the internet that I can add as well noting both accounts about who created the board, if needed. The [2] reference is an expired webpage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael4092 (talkcontribs) 15:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

I am confused as to why you think I'm involved. The edit summary clearly explains that Dianna removed your edit because it violates our copyright policies. You can't copy-and-paste text you find on the web and drop it in Wikipedia, per WP:COPYVIO. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:47, 25 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

This was the username that sent me the message about my edit being removed. I am not that familiar with the Talk feature so please direct me if possible to who I need to contact. Secondly, it was not just copied and pasted. There is a source listed. Everything written in the "history" section including what I added comes straight from the source listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael4092 (talkcontribs) 16:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I can see that it came "straight from the source listed." We call that a copyright violation. Click on this link to see that Dianna made it clear in the edit summary why it was removed. There's no point in contacting her because (1) our policies on copyrights are quite clear and quite firm and (2) the source you added does not meet reliable sources guidelines, so even if you paraphrased the content, that source would not be appropriate. If you take a closer look at the talk page of the IP address that you original posted from, you'll see that my warning to that IP address was dated January, 2020; whoever was using that IP address in January made some edits without warnings that I warned them about. At the bottom of the page, you'll see the copyright warning from Dianna. There's nothing further to discuss here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:14, 25 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ok well if what you are saying is true then all other information coming from the source you are stating is not reliable should be removed from the page, most notably in the History section.

Block of User:69.92.161.206

edit

Out of curiosity, why did you block this IP address indefinitely - was this intentional? They had only vandalised an article once and you didn't claim that they were an open proxy.

On an unrelated note, I love how you used Template:Test5i as their block notice; now that's a blast from the past!

Thank you, Passengerpigeon (talk) 00:08, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

No, that was not intentional, thanks for catching that! OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
