- @Cactusisme: Probably not too much use responding to it now but there was only vandalism from one IP across one day. In cases like these, a block is needed. Page protection is only used as a last resort. --Ferien2 (talk) 09:01, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Cactusisme: If you see other users claiming to be people, you should take a look at their userpage to see whether the account they have claimed to be have linked to them. For example, on my meta userpage for User:Ferien2, I decided to just sign on their userpage in m:Special:Diff/21487714, and it's in a section on my userpage: User:Ferien#Other accounts --Ferien (talk) 11:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:GFDL
Hi! I noticed that Template:GFDL have disclaimers and per en:Wikipedia:GFDL standardization disclaimers should be avoided. Since most of the files are spoken articles they should have the same license as the articles on Wikipedia. So we could argue that it was a mistake to add the disclaimers and that they could be removed.
I also noticed that many of the files are also on Commons. So the local file could be deleted. Perhaps someone could have a look and decide what to do? --MGA73 (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- I decided to remove the disclaimers. If the articles are GFDL so should spoken versions be so no need for disclaimers. --MGA73 (talk) 16:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

IP making edits and then reverting themselves immediately after
Hi, So we have an IP 2.98.119.86 who copypastes from en and then reverts themselves immediately after - I know some accounts do this in order to gain autoconfirmed/Extended confirmed status but I didn't know if there was any reason why the IP is doing it?,
As far as I'm aware IPs aren't able to get the access levels registered users can get so I'm rather baffled here, Anyway not sure if this would tantamount to disruptive editing so thought I'd ask/post here, Thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 18:46, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done MathXplore (talk) 06:03, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ah okay glad I did ask here now, would be interesting to know what they think they're achieving though, Anyway thanks for blocking them much appreciated, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:54, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome
This article Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome is clearly not ready for mainspace yet, because it was copied directly from enwiki. However, the user who created it seems to be trying to simplify it. Could it be moved to their userspace (User:Produde29499/Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome) so they can work on it there? As they are not autoconfirmed, they won't be able to move it themself yet.
@Produde29499: See above. 157.131.67.250 (talk) 22:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

- @MCGAMER YOUTUBE: I usually consider salting if a page is deleted 3 times or more within a short period (that's just my personal rule of thumb), but I only see one delete for this one. Has it been created under any different names? -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done Deleted. MathXplore (talk) 05:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
This IP is currently indef blocked, but according to w:Wikipedia:Blocking_IP_addresses#Block_lengths, the block should not be indefinite. How should we reduce or unblock the IP? MathXplore (talk) 11:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- While were on the subject, I found another indef block on an IP range 2600:1700:9291:1B60:0:0:0:0/64 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 11:53, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- MathXplore, if you seen IPs like these, just reduce the block or unblock them depending on how long it's been. Me Da Wikipedian, I've unblocked that range also, thanks for bringing it up. --Ferien (talk) 17:38, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Davey2010 I admittedly did not go through every one of them, but the ones I went through have no vandalism. Pages are generally not protected pre-emptively. Also, I don't believe that non-autoconfirmed users are able to edit user pages anyways (because of an edit filter) and there would no point in semi-protection (assuming your not suggesting full as then you can't edit). Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Me Da Wikipedian You are not an administrator. You have no need to reply to requests like this. Also user pages can be protected, and it is possible for IPs to edit user subpages (I just did it to test). 136.152.209.22 (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- And...nor are you. You can edit subpages, not the actual userpage itself. And please undo any test edit. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Me Da Wikipedian Yes I know that. I wouldn't have commented here if you hadn't done so. I see you have been informed before about comments in RFP's being unnecessary. The user subpages can also be vandalized and "no pre-emptive protection" doesn't apply to user or talk pages. I undid the test edit. 136.152.209.22 (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello...This is not an RFP...and no pre-emptive protection, unless you can show me otherwise seems like it applies everywhere with few exceptions Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Me Da Wikipedian Do you really have nothing better to do than sticking your nose in places that don't concern you?. Like you're not even an admin here so why do you feel the need to comment here ?
- I wanted these protected as A) In a few days time I'll be requesting an indef block here and B) my archives have previously been targetted by IPs and as such I would rather leave here with the knowledge and hope everything will be preserved,
- These aren't used anywhere and they don't require updates so there's no reason not to protect them, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- "In a few days time I'll be requesting an indef block here" don't leave, please? You understand the vandal wins if they drive you away @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 23:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the kind words but it's not the IP I'm bothered about - It's Auntof6 and her actions, I was blocked for 24 hours for using the words "god damn" and calling the vandal IP a moron and then because I replied on my talkpage that "[She's] Clutching at straws in order to block me is sad and rather pathetic" earned me a talkpage access revocation,
- If we're going to block people for using words like "god damn" and "idiot" as well as refuse to block vandal IPs on the basis that "they've been insufficiently warned" despite it being plain as day the IP is not here to contribute to this encyclopedia then yeah I want no further part of this project.
- I appreciate the latter may not be "policy" but the IP in question makes the same vandal edits again and again which is why they're on a 3rd/4th block ..... I don't have the mental patience to go through the warning system for a vandal who clearly only uses this place to vandalise and whos also the same person,
- The sad part is since my Commons block I've tried addressing and adjusting my incivility and tried to be more calmer and also tried using the word fuck less often ... all to no avail. I tried. –Davey2010Talk 23:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, we refuse to block people who had not been sufficently warned. If you want to change that, ignoring the policy is not how to go about it. I also find it, err, interesting that one of your reasons for being unblocked on Commons was insufficent warning, but whatever.
- Anyways remember when I said that I disagree with you being blocked for 24 hours? Looking at your history on Commons and enwiki I'd say maybe it was too short. You are on your 8th block on Commons and enwiki.
- In the future, please try to address your incivility by being civil. Thank you.
- But this is not a reason to leave. Unless a civility policy is truly too much to handle (which I doubt), I see no reason why you can't work on it and remain a helpful member of simplewiki. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 02:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- "we refuse to block people who had not been sufficently warned" Well if that were the case then the 2 previous blocking admins would've declined my report ... so that's a lie.
- Difference was I'm not a vandal ... I didn't vandalise the project and then say "I've been insufficiently warned".... I get your point but if this guy wasn't a vandal and was making good-but-clumsy edits then of course I'd warn them repeatedly/80 times if I had too,
- FYI, All of my blocks on EN and Commons have centered around my usage of the word fuck (fuck off, no fucks given) .... Did I use the word fuck in my reply at VIP? No. Did I replace the word fuck with god damn? Yes. If that's not addressing my incvility issue I don't know what is!, My reply was full of rage sure but it was hardly incivil and hardly deserved a block over and most certainly didn't deserve tpa over,
- If civility policies were too much to handle don't you think I would've left EN 10 years ago ?.... I accept irrespective of my views, we have en:Wikipedia:Comment on the content, not the contributor for a reason, so for the moron comment a warning would've sufficed .... but I refuse to be a part of a project where you can be blocked for using non-offensive words like "god damn" .... and then hilariously have your TPA revoked over calling their actions sad/pathetic,
- Anyway all of this is irrelevant to my above post, Have a great day. –Davey2010Talk 11:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- You're not a vandal, yes. That is not free-license to do anything at all you want. It is not the case that or a few sets of words/phrases are the only possible incivil things. What is addressing your incivility issue is by replacing things that are uncivil with this that are actually civil themselves (or just removing the uncivil things to begin with). "a warning would've sufficed" if you hadn't been blocked 16 times for some sort of incivility elsewhere. "god damn" can be offensive, by the way.
- Also what times were they blocked without sufficient warning. The May 24 they had plenty of warnings but just blanked in between, May 29 I gave them a final warning, June 6 was Vandalism within 1 day of being unblocked (which I believe doesn't require warnings), and thats it.
- Also, to cite enwiki for you, NPA is not free-license to avoid people acting based on a long pattern of yours.
- Anyways, I hope you don't leave. Here's an idea:Don't type when your angry. It never ends well. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- "In a few days time I'll be requesting an indef block here" don't leave, please? You understand the vandal wins if they drive you away @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 23:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Davey2010 and Me Da Wikipedian: All Done. For what it's worth, user pages can be protected at the user's discretion, and that may be pre-emptive or not. I appreciate that hasn't been written in policy, I've just boldly updated it to reflect standard practice. With this whole situation, both sides made mistakes, and I sincerely hope we can move on and not lose either valued contributor through this. --Ferien (talk) 17:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. @Ferien Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Ferien, Many thanks I greatly appreciate your help,
- I don't know why but I assumed I had to go through levels 1-5 each time when in fact I can just level 5/6 them each time - still relatively pointless but at least it's not wasting much time as if you were doing 1-5 each time,
- @Me Da Wikipedian I've just checked and they were blocked without warning on the 6th June, Thing is though I've also had a vandals IP rangeblocked on different IPs whom have not recieved warnings after blocks either and again this wasn't queried/questioned by anyone, Maybe it's just been assumed I have warned them and because of that I've just assumed my way has been okay when in fact it hasn't and I've just not known that,
- Maybe the TPA revoc was a blessing in disguise, maybe they did that to keep me around and I just didn't know :), Anyway we live and we learn, I'll do better going forward, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- "I assumed I had to go through levels 1-5 each time when in fact I can just level 5/6 them each time" - There are only 4 level of warnings. Confused. Vandalism within 1 day of being unblocked is (I believe) a valid reason to block without warnings.
- "the TPA revoc was a blessing in disguise, maybe they did that to keep me around" - Could you explain?
- "I'll do better going forward" - Thank you.

- Just a little note, very much like enwiki we don't do self blocks as a rule. I am on record as willing to consider them but not for indef. If a user wants to leave then it is normal for them to just leave, as many of our number have done over the years. :) fr33kman 00:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

- No, it's not. Only warning is instead of the normal warning process. And what would be 6? A VIP report? Normally you should not do only warnings or VIP reports first though. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

An IP seems to be spamming new articles about mostly non-notable stars.--Can that account be blocked for say six hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours.--Please see, Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Something_is_rotten_in_the_"land"_of_Stars?. 2001:2020:309:AE06:BD15:72C7:4DB0:35C6 (talk) 18:47, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I see both editors reverting each other's edits repeatedly. What kind of action would be needed here? MathXplore (talk) 13:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have no issues with cyber.eyes edits, And I am sorry if any of my edits violated any guidelines of Wikipedia (which I don't think so it did). Regardless since yesterday, I am seeing cyber eyes reverting my edits which are backed up with reliable citations/sources such as here 1 and here 2. I will honestly prefer to have this peacefully sorted out. And i am sorry again if I have violated any guidelines of Wikipedia considering I am new and I am not aware of all it's rules. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 14:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- My reason for reverting Malik-Al-Hind's edits is not any sort of personal attack. However, their edits to several articles (Special:Diff/9618778 and Special:Diff/9618508) are controversial and POVish. This isn't the first time Malik-Al-Hind has made such edits; they have received multiple "last warnings" from different editors, with the most recent being a couple of weeks ago. This issue is consistent: not willing to gain consensus on the talk page and reverting edits before consensus is reached. In my edit summaries (Special:Diff/9618735, Special:Diff/9618736), I clearly stated the need to gain consensus on the respective articles' talk pages before re-adding these claims, but this was ignored, and my edits were reverted. Gaining consensus is only beneficial and the only method to solve such disputes. I hope @Malik-Al-Hind stops reverting edits and instead seeks consensus from the community. I am more than willing to help them work on this Wikipedia since they are a new member here, for which they need to cooperate as well. – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 14:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- If not gaining consensus is the problem here, I would do that from now on. Thank you for concerning Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 14:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- That is mainly the reason for most warnings you have received, and thank you for understanding that. Other disputes, such as a change being POVish or controversial, can be solved on the respective article's talk pages. If anyone wants to join the consensus-building, the discussion is here: Talk:Hulagu Khan#religion. – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 15:46, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Very young editor disclosed their birthdate
Not saying their usarname to protect their privacy, but this very young editor (younger than 13, not saying exact age to protect them) disclosed their birthdate on their userpage. Is this OK for their safety? Luckily, they did not say their real name. If you believe it is not safe, I will send an email with their username to an oversighter. Thank you. ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 20:20, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, Dream Indigo, please send this to oversight-wp-simplelists.wikimedia.org as soon as possible for oversighters to take a closer look at the situation. Thank you, --Ferien (talk) 20:57, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done Thank you! I am sending a second email to the enwiki oversighters as well (they have the same userpage there as well). ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 21:07, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- A note for everyone reading this: it is always fine to ask oversighters (privately, of course) if something should be oversighted. Even if you think it might not be worth it, it's always better to be safe. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 11:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Permenant semiprotection request of Adolf Hitler Uunona
This has been requested a few other times, but the most that has ever come out of it has been a month-long to year-long protection.
The issue is that the "view history" tab is unreadable. When thinking of ways to write out this request, I originally planned to write out the number of occurances in which vandalism occured, but I realize now that it's easier to write out the number of occurances in which vandalism did not occur. Even then, you would have to sort through over 750 edits accumalated over three years of edits that are almost exclusively vandalism.
Vandalism on this page will not ever go away. A month-long or year-long protection will not do anything, and the only thing that leaving this page unprotected does is take away time from people that could be doing other things. MrMeAndMrMeTalk 17:39, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- There are probably many ways of looking at this/these matter(s).--One way to get around, part of the problem: Those who get annoyed (or whatever), about what happens with the article, should consider finding a way to say to themselves - or perhaps use a mantra-like-thingy, such as "I can stay away from re-checking that article, until the month of say August."--Personally, i am guessing that i have not checked his article for a year (or help with anti-vandalism in that article), without having to use any motivational technique to stay away.--In the past, I have gotten the impression that there is c. nothing really new (and sourced) coming to the English-wiki article, or to the Simple-wiki article. (So the articles say a minimum of his connection to a municipal council etc. And the articles say that he was a member of SWAPO, and are economical with details about what he did.)--Another thing: that article might be one that would be okay to have a tag that says something like: "Some articles, get vandalized sometimes. We try to fix vandalism quickly."--If this post was perceived as helpful, then fine. 2001:2020:329:A884:15D:323:AF7E:55DD (talk) 17:28, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
I almost never find Permenant semiprotection articles on Simple-wiki.--I find that quite refreshing!--I am fine with not making any major changes about changing the protection status, for now.--I trust that there are many - not necessarily including me - who have "the biggest pictures" about simple-wiki; Those many, probably have thing under control. 2001:2020:329:A884:5C31:F636:5603:D (talk) 17:40, 4 July 2024 (UTC) /2001:2020:329:A884:15D:323:AF7E:55DD
