Hi - sorry to be appear to be (cough) a process wonk, however, with your self-closure here
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orlando Guardians, per
WP:WDAFD, the result is speedy keep rather than withdrawn. In the case where theré's no participation and a nominator withdraws, that would be a withdrawn result. I'd see the distinction as important since the keep result establishes precedent (wheras withdrawn doesn't). Regards,

There's a new template called {{ Interpolated comment}} you may be interested in (redirect: {{ Middlepost}} ). This came about after I was bit again by interpolated comments by another user, this time here, at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources. They strongly agreed with my comment, so I couldn't very well template them with {{ uw-middlepost}} after that (and please don't on my behalf). I followed up what I *sometimes* do in these cases (but not very often, because it's so laborious), which is to set off the inserted comment to make authorship and sequencing clear; the result is visible at the link, or this diff. But I finally had enough of doing that, because it's such a pain. Hence, the new template. Doc page exists, but no sandbox or testcases yet; maybe they'll be there by the time you get this. Brand new, so may still have bugs, feel free to thrash it out and see if you can find anything. Also, if there's anything that isn't clear on the /doc page, can you raise it at Template talk? Thanks, and congrats on your Rfa. Mathglot ( talk) 07:52, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Aoidh! Congrats on the successful RfA.
You'd mentioned wanting to become a bit more familiar with DYK processes before adminning there. IMO the best way to become a DYK expert is to build a few preps, which you've done, so I think you're actually ahead of the game at this point. Everything you need to know about moving a prep to queue, you can learn by building preps. The PSHAW tool works for moving preps to queue. When I move a prep to queue, I do it before doing the re-checks, simply to signal to other admins that I'm going to check that set. Some prefer to do the checks first and just mark the set as being in use.
I do also think it's helpful to keep an eye on questions brought up by prep builders at WT:DYK, and (to a lesser extent but still worth paying attention to) complaints brought up at ERRORS. Hope this is helpful! Valereee ( talk) 16:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Your mention of the wikilinks during your RfA received my attention. I now wouldn't add wikilinks for people anymore. But Interwikilinks I still see as valid, if you do not change my mind.
I also have another issue. There are the silent interwikilinks (I call silent the blue ones that are actually interwikilinks), and then there are the red interwikilinks. The silent ones give the reader and the editor the impression that an article already exists, and then also they do not change into links to the article in the English language once they are created.
I asked for a script to show the silent interwikilinks in an other color, but with no success for now. My hope is that with a wellmeant raise of concern by an admin the tool might get created a bit sooner:) Or maybe you have an even better idea. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 09:09, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Aoidh, I saw that you closed the discussion for delete for Jessica Nabongo. I would like to ask that you also deal with this incident: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1123#Destructive_editing_by_User:Universalsunset. or tell me what needs to be done, so that I can actually edit the article. I see that you are a new admin. Sorry to tackle you with this. K.Nevelsteen ( talk) 06:06, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello again Aoidh, I have another question. It seems that the page on Woni Spotts was deleted after repeated vandalism. A copy of the article was archived here. Universalsunset said the page resulted in her getting death threats. If the article on Nabongo exists, I wouldn't see a reason why Spotts shouldn't exist also, since (I think) the sources are there. Should the article on Spotts just be left deleted or should an attempt be made to recreate it with valid citations? If it were recreated, where do you mention the controversy between the two articles? On both articles? This is also a question for future knowledge. K.Nevelsteen ( talk) 18:19, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
I see you (as Administrator) deleted link in template for PDC events: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template%3A2023_in_PDC_darts&diff=1148445750&oldid=1146667846&diffmode=source after AfD, which was started by a user, who conducts crusade against Darts articles, despite himself having quite a lot of his articles in AfD lately.
I don't really agree with him, but it's not the case here. I wanted to ask you to not delete those links from template in this section, because it confuses people. In my opinion in this situation it's better to keep redlink than no link, because redlink says that event exists, but there is not article for that. No link would suggest, that there was no event at all (which confused me few minutes ago, that I clicked on event nr 3 and got event nr 4). Haifisch7734 ( talk) 11:44, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Would you be willing to explain a bit more about how you found consensus to delete Serbian proverbs rather than to perform some sort of cross-wiki merge (either with keeping the page as a cross-wiki redirect or via the transwiki method proposed by Brainulator9)?

Hi. When closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walkies, did you also take into account the RM discussion on the talk page? – Uanfala ( talk) 10:04, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. As it happens, there is also an AfD open for this page which should take its normal course.There was nothing in the move discussion that would affect the outcome of the AfD and many of the comments in the RM suggested deletion rather than a move. - Aoidh ( talk) 10:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Hey I feel the deletion of the article was very hasty and not very democratic, it had been relisted and had 1 vote to keep, then it got 1 vote to delete and was deleted straight away which I disagree with and still think the article is of notability and importance that included book, music chart, and TV references. Can you please relist it for more discussion and contribution? Many thanks Andrewjohnmoore ( talk) 10:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
not very democraticthat is because Wikipedia is not a democracy and the outcome of deletion discussions are not determined by vote but rather by consensus, which per WP:DETCON
is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy.The strength of the positions is more important than how many people "voted" on the matter.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of [3]. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. ScottWillis45 ( talk) 14:55, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
* The subject has been covered by several reputable sources, including Reuters, The Guardian, and BBC. These sources provide significant coverage and are independent of the subject, thus satisfying WP:GNG requirements. * The CNBC interview with Ricardo Santos Silva alone provides in-depth information about him, his work, and achievements. It is hard to argue that an interview with the subject does not provide detailed mention, as the very nature of interviews is to focus on the interviewee. * The Entrepreneur of the Year award article supports notability, as it shows recognition of Ricardo Santos Silva's achievements within his field. This award is a testament to his impact in the industry, making him a notable figure. * It's important to consider the cumulative weight of these sources, as each contributes to establishing the subject's notability. While some may argue that individual sources do not provide extensive coverage, the combined coverage from multiple reliable sources indicates that Ricardo Santos Silva has garnered significant attention in the media.

The Computer Science series and all series on the humanities (excepting Philosophy and Economics) were filmed in a studio in Indianapolis, Indiana.However that statement is unsourced so I can't verify whether that is true or not.

Hi Aoidh
I hope you're doing well, and glad to see you're helping out with the DYK sets! I just wanted to check if you're aware of the admin checks that we carry out for the promoted sets? This involves thorough vetting of the hooks and articles in the set, tweaking things if there are uncontroversial changes, and highlighting more difficult issues at WT:DYK, and it's vital that this is done for all sets before they go live. It can also be quite time consuming, which is why we often share the load around the available admins; this will be particularly relevant as it seems we're going to move to two sets per day shortly. Perhaps you have been doing this, but I know when I first started working on sets I wasn't aware of the requirement, so thought I'd mention it. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 10:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Aoidh, I had reverted 2 bot-generated rescues of sources in Cathy Whims, and you reverted the changes back. The problem I'm seeing is responses from the wayback machine that are not versions of the original urls.

I wasn't sure who to reach out to on this, and as the most recent admin to reply on the Notifications of Edit Warring board, thought I'd start with you. Please let me know if there's somewhere better to go.
On Dead Sea Scrolls, the category "Archaeological discoveries in Israel" was added on April 2, 2021 by another editor. This category persisted alongside the "...in Palestine" and "...in the West Bank" categories until a couple days ago. At that time, an editor deleted the Israel category but left the other two intact. I reverted, mentioning the complex sovereignty status of the West Bank / Qumran, with dual claims by Palestine and Israel, and the fact that Israel occupies, administers, and has named the site as an Israel Heritage site. I don't believe Wikipedians can decide only one's claim is valid without falling afoul of WP:POV, nor do I believe the assertion that the deletion of the past two days represents the consensus, rather than the edit that persisted for over two years.
Three more deletions (by two other authors) followed, and I restored a second and third time, stopping to avoid 3RR violation. Prior to these restorations I asked the editors involved to discuss on Talk, but so far they have not responded with any constructive dialogue. I then posted notices to the Israel and Palestine Wikiproject pages to invite more discussion.
The question is: am I doing something wrong here? What would the best approach be? And, can a group of editors collectively be guilty of 3RR? I believe these editors are incorrect to delete the Israel category unless they simultaneously delete the Palestine one. Thank you. Jtrevor99 ( talk) 03:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

You need to block this IP indefinitely. I don't cxare if they DON'T think Unicorn: Warriors Eternal is not adult animation. Williams Street or no Williams Street, if it's on Adult Swim, then it technically IS adult animation. And seeing as they don't have anything to prove otherwise, that makes them a vandal and a liar to boot. In short, this IP was the one who started it. Visokor ( talk) 08:20, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
to prove otherwise. Looking at the editing history of that article it looks like that "adult" descriptor has been contested off and on for about as long as the article has been around. If you want the descriptor added the burden is on you to show that it belongs, and the easiest way to do that is to provide a reliable source that directly and unambiguously supports that descriptor. Saying that because it's in a certain programming block that it falls into a specific genre looks like WP:OR. It is not vandalism to disagree with an unsourced opinion. Use the talk page and provide sources for the content. - Aoidh ( talk) 10:11, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
ਮੋਬਾਈਲ ਸੰਪਾਦਨon the end of edits, it's possible that it's part of the edit summary. If you're seeing that as a tag specifically and not as the edit summary, I don't know why it would be in that language, that might be a question for Wikipedia:Teahouse. If you're asking why things are tagged as mobile edits on the Punjabi Wikipedia, then that would be because the edits were determined to have been made from a mobile device (or at least one that is displaying a user agent that matches a mobile device). - Aoidh ( talk)

Hi, you blocked this IP for disruptive editing a few days ago. The block has expired and since then the editor has been quite prolific in making more disruptive edits, mostly subtle vandalism, changing dates and names in articles related to children's TV shows. In all the cases I've checked, the changes have been factually incorrect or nonsensical. They probably need a longer block. CodeTalker ( talk) 16:21, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Soon after you protected the pages I mentioned in my complaint, that IP editor restored his edits on another article [6]. Basically he doesn't regard any rebooted revivals of an old show as a reboot, but as a continuation or new season. I've reverted him for now but I'm sure he'll just return.
I know I said I'll seek RFPP, but that'll clearly be of no use. I'm going to ask you or other admins to disable the anon editing if they revert on more pages. I'll wait until next month for that however, I hope you will listen if there's no other way left.
Shifting IP ranges is much more harder than shifting to other pages, I checked and their IP range's ISP has switched from Verizon to Comcast and location from Virginia to Maryland.

Hello,
I have noticed that you added protection to the Dračevica article, which is good, but just before you did that, AzureCitizen made an edit which matched Santasa99 line of disruptive edit warring as shown here:
I have asked to revert his edit, but even if he was willing to do so, he is now unable to because of the added protection. That is why I am now asking you to revert the article back to my last attempt at a stable and correct version - Dračevica
Otherwise, Santasa effectively bypasses the ban on making 3 consecutive reverts.
I hope that you will consider my request.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.87.123.180 ( talk) 21:29, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
the three-revert rule applies per person. One editor made 3 reverts, you made 3 reverts, and another made 1. In part because 3RR was not violated, the page was protected in lieu of blocking editors so that discussion could take place on the talk page, which again I highly suggest you use because if editors had been blocked instead you would have been included in those blocks. Please take this time to use the talk page on those two articles, get a consensus, and use dispute resolution if necessary. - Aoidh ( talk) 21:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Let me be clear, you and the IP were not blocked only so that you could discuss the content on the articles. If either of you deign to not use the talk page and merely wait out the protection to revert back to your preferred version you will be blocked for edit warring.- Aoidh ( talk) 00:04, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there. I saw your findings re: Oncamera. I respect your uninvolved opinion. My feedback is that their WP:NOTTHEM (sure, technically they weren't appealing a block) responses, and your also calling them out for their accusations, make a warning seem to me to be quite lenient for a repeat offender. The net is that two previous EW blocks still didnt make them respectful of the EW policy here and now. If they hopefully realize the generosity granted and finally see the light, then it can be a net positive. Cheers, and kudos for a thankless job patrolling noticeboards.

Hello Aoidh, about the 24 hour block for the Barbary slave trade edit. Please look at the edit history, I didn't add the paragraph: "A compilation of partial statistics and patchy estimates indicates that almost 2 million Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles were seized from 1468 to 1694. Additionally, there were slaves from the Caucasus obtained by a mixture of raiding and trading. 16th- and 17th-century customs statistics suggest that Istanbul's slave import from the Black Sea may have totaled around 2.5 million from 1450 to 1700." It was already there but near the end of the wikipedia article, I just wanted to put that paragraph in the context of the "Extent" sub-section where the numbers and statistics are. But M.Bitton kept deleting my edit so I had the idea of a "Barbary pirates in the wider Ottoman slave trade context" sub-section where that paragraph would have fit in perfectly especially since at the start I put this informatiom from the The Cambridge World History of Slavery: Volume 3, AD 1420–AD 1804. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0521840682 "Although the regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli were technically under Ottoman suzerainty, the Ottomans exercised very little real authority in deciding specific raids of the Barbary pirates."
Another thing the user that reported me,
M.Bitton started insulting me and calling me "asinine":
Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers
Wikipedia:No personal attacks:
Talk:Barbary slave trade#The section talking about the numbers of Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles slaves is being pushed at the end of the article and not at the start where the numbers are being talked about
After I got the 24 hour block he deleted this text that was sourced from
The Cambridge World History of Slavery: Volume 3, AD 1420–AD 1804 : " Of these European slaves, it's estimated that fewer than 5% escaped or were ransomed. From 1520 to 1830, Algiers alone imported about 625,000." It talked specifically about the Barbary pirates and not the Ottomans in general. He deleted it without explaination. This deserves a report if he continues to delete that information.
Good day.

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.With that in mind, on October 26 you made 4 reverts:
You've had enough only when you got embarrassed that you misunderstood that quote.That is hardly civil commentary and you cannot know their state of mind, so that comment was unnecessarily inflammatory and served no good purpose; there is a very good reason why Wikipedia:No personal attacks begins with
Comment on content, not on the contributor. Furthermore, if calling a comment asinine is a personal attack then why was this tit-for-tat response made? I see some less-than-exemplary commentary on that talk page, but it is by no means limited to M.Bitton. - Aoidh ( talk) 12:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Other than replying with the insult he said first, I abstained from insulting him because I wanted to remain polite, I do want to stress again that this edit is not polite in any way; their calling your comment asinine was predicated upon that initial incivility, and mocking them by copying their own comment is also not polite in any way. This is precisely why WP:NPA stresses to comment on content, not the contributor, as it derails discussions and is neither helpful nor compatible with a collaborative editing environment. As for the content itself, I cannot comment on that because that would involve me in the dispute which would bar me from acting further in an administrative capacity regarding that dispute. If necessary I would suggest using a form of dispute resolution if you'd like outside input. - Aoidh ( talk) 12:42, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi. More than 90% of the contributions of the user User:Pedantic Aristotle are related to the politician Javier Milei. This is clearly an single-purpose account. But it's not just that, this user is also resorting to vandalism, as he has tried to extremely and massively delete information with sources from Javier Milei article. It's not the first time he's done it. He has also attempted to massively erase information with sources from the La Libertad Avanza article, a political coalition to which Javier Milei belongs. I show some examples of mass deletion of information with sources that this user has carried out:

Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links.)

I think their talk page access should be revoked. About this IP they impersonated me in the sandbox last week asking an inappropriate question which I would never ask, which got them blocked for 6 months, and I think they made the User:1034Forest account to impersonate me in response to that block, which has been blocked indefinitely for vandalism and impersonation. And now they seem desperate to want to get back on Wikipedia and edit again, but looking at their talk page's history, they impersonated you and in one edit they pretended to be an admin and have "secret admin powers". 1033Forest ( talk) 16:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
i had been browsing sandbox edits as i usually do, and noticed this user was blocked. out of curiosity, i checked the block reason, saw talk page discussions, and i honestly think this might not be a sock judging by the edits. to my understanding, they most likely came across the individual who reported the IP to you, looked at their edits, and made their own opinion on it. purely speculative, of course. possibly review the block? i might be wrong, though DrowssapSMM ( talk) ( contributions) 01:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your answer: your recipes are good. I would not agree, however, that infoboxes are contentious on Wikipedia, because - as everybody reading it can easily tell - infoboxes are almost everywhere, - they are contentious only in a small corner of subjects, in articles by a small group of editors. I met the dispute in 2012, for Samuel Barber (where I opposed for redundancy, but understood within a day that the redundancy serves readers with different needs). Brian Boulton added a compromise to Chopin as a RfC result in 2015. I thought that would settle it, dreamer that I am ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl said something wise on his talk, - yes, regarding a soft(er) stance - or should I say more sympathetic? - towards infoboxes. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:10, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland? Compare Max Reger, Max Beckschäfer, Colin Mawby (from today's story), and Benjamin Britten (who died OTD). What's the difference? If what you see changes your answer to my question, feel free to change, and ping me.

There's a new template called {{ Interpolated comment}} you may be interested in (redirect: {{ Middlepost}} ). This came about after I was bit again by interpolated comments by another user, this time here, at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources. They strongly agreed with my comment, so I couldn't very well template them with {{ uw-middlepost}} after that (and please don't on my behalf). I followed up what I *sometimes* do in these cases (but not very often, because it's so laborious), which is to set off the inserted comment to make authorship and sequencing clear; the result is visible at the link, or this diff. But I finally had enough of doing that, because it's such a pain. Hence, the new template. Doc page exists, but no sandbox or testcases yet; maybe they'll be there by the time you get this. Brand new, so may still have bugs, feel free to thrash it out and see if you can find anything. Also, if there's anything that isn't clear on the /doc page, can you raise it at Template talk? Thanks, and congrats on your Rfa. Mathglot ( talk) 07:52, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
The boxed material was written by a different user which was placed in the middle of a prior comment by UserX, which continues after the box.would be my suggestion, but that's really the only thing I can see that might need adjustment in terms of the actual implementation's output. - Aoidh ( talk) 12:50, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Aoidh! Congrats on the successful RfA.
You'd mentioned wanting to become a bit more familiar with DYK processes before adminning there. IMO the best way to become a DYK expert is to build a few preps, which you've done, so I think you're actually ahead of the game at this point. Everything you need to know about moving a prep to queue, you can learn by building preps. The PSHAW tool works for moving preps to queue. When I move a prep to queue, I do it before doing the re-checks, simply to signal to other admins that I'm going to check that set. Some prefer to do the checks first and just mark the set as being in use.
I do also think it's helpful to keep an eye on questions brought up by prep builders at WT:DYK, and (to a lesser extent but still worth paying attention to) complaints brought up at ERRORS. Hope this is helpful! Valereee ( talk) 16:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Your mention of the wikilinks during your RfA received my attention. I now wouldn't add wikilinks for people anymore. But Interwikilinks I still see as valid, if you do not change my mind.
I also have another issue. There are the silent interwikilinks (I call silent the blue ones that are actually interwikilinks), and then there are the red interwikilinks. The silent ones give the reader and the editor the impression that an article already exists, and then also they do not change into links to the article in the English language once they are created.
I asked for a script to show the silent interwikilinks in an other color, but with no success for now. My hope is that with a wellmeant raise of concern by an admin the tool might get created a bit sooner:) Or maybe you have an even better idea. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 09:09, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Aoidh, I saw that you closed the discussion for delete for Jessica Nabongo. I would like to ask that you also deal with this incident: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1123#Destructive_editing_by_User:Universalsunset. or tell me what needs to be done, so that I can actually edit the article. I see that you are a new admin. Sorry to tackle you with this. K.Nevelsteen ( talk) 06:06, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello again Aoidh, I have another question. It seems that the page on Woni Spotts was deleted after repeated vandalism. A copy of the article was archived here. Universalsunset said the page resulted in her getting death threats. If the article on Nabongo exists, I wouldn't see a reason why Spotts shouldn't exist also, since (I think) the sources are there. Should the article on Spotts just be left deleted or should an attempt be made to recreate it with valid citations? If it were recreated, where do you mention the controversy between the two articles? On both articles? This is also a question for future knowledge. K.Nevelsteen ( talk) 18:19, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
I see you (as Administrator) deleted link in template for PDC events: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template%3A2023_in_PDC_darts&diff=1148445750&oldid=1146667846&diffmode=source after AfD, which was started by a user, who conducts crusade against Darts articles, despite himself having quite a lot of his articles in AfD lately.
I don't really agree with him, but it's not the case here. I wanted to ask you to not delete those links from template in this section, because it confuses people. In my opinion in this situation it's better to keep redlink than no link, because redlink says that event exists, but there is not article for that. No link would suggest, that there was no event at all (which confused me few minutes ago, that I clicked on event nr 3 and got event nr 4). Haifisch7734 ( talk) 11:44, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move.

Hey I feel the deletion of the article was very hasty and not very democratic, it had been relisted and had 1 vote to keep, then it got 1 vote to delete and was deleted straight away which I disagree with and still think the article is of notability and importance that included book, music chart, and TV references. Can you please relist it for more discussion and contribution? Many thanks Andrewjohnmoore ( talk) 10:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
not very democraticthat is because Wikipedia is not a democracy and the outcome of deletion discussions are not determined by vote but rather by consensus, which per WP:DETCON
is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy.The strength of the positions is more important than how many people "voted" on the matter.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of [3]. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. ScottWillis45 ( talk) 14:55, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
* The subject has been covered by several reputable sources, including Reuters, The Guardian, and BBC. These sources provide significant coverage and are independent of the subject, thus satisfying WP:GNG requirements. * The CNBC interview with Ricardo Santos Silva alone provides in-depth information about him, his work, and achievements. It is hard to argue that an interview with the subject does not provide detailed mention, as the very nature of interviews is to focus on the interviewee. * The Entrepreneur of the Year award article supports notability, as it shows recognition of Ricardo Santos Silva's achievements within his field. This award is a testament to his impact in the industry, making him a notable figure. * It's important to consider the cumulative weight of these sources, as each contributes to establishing the subject's notability. While some may argue that individual sources do not provide extensive coverage, the combined coverage from multiple reliable sources indicates that Ricardo Santos Silva has garnered significant attention in the media.

The Computer Science series and all series on the humanities (excepting Philosophy and Economics) were filmed in a studio in Indianapolis, Indiana.However that statement is unsourced so I can't verify whether that is true or not.

Hi Aoidh
I hope you're doing well, and glad to see you're helping out with the DYK sets! I just wanted to check if you're aware of the admin checks that we carry out for the promoted sets? This involves thorough vetting of the hooks and articles in the set, tweaking things if there are uncontroversial changes, and highlighting more difficult issues at WT:DYK, and it's vital that this is done for all sets before they go live. It can also be quite time consuming, which is why we often share the load around the available admins; this will be particularly relevant as it seems we're going to move to two sets per day shortly. Perhaps you have been doing this, but I know when I first started working on sets I wasn't aware of the requirement, so thought I'd mention it. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 10:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Aoidh, I had reverted 2 bot-generated rescues of sources in Cathy Whims, and you reverted the changes back. The problem I'm seeing is responses from the wayback machine that are not versions of the original urls.

I wasn't sure who to reach out to on this, and as the most recent admin to reply on the Notifications of Edit Warring board, thought I'd start with you. Please let me know if there's somewhere better to go.
On Dead Sea Scrolls, the category "Archaeological discoveries in Israel" was added on April 2, 2021 by another editor. This category persisted alongside the "...in Palestine" and "...in the West Bank" categories until a couple days ago. At that time, an editor deleted the Israel category but left the other two intact. I reverted, mentioning the complex sovereignty status of the West Bank / Qumran, with dual claims by Palestine and Israel, and the fact that Israel occupies, administers, and has named the site as an Israel Heritage site. I don't believe Wikipedians can decide only one's claim is valid without falling afoul of WP:POV, nor do I believe the assertion that the deletion of the past two days represents the consensus, rather than the edit that persisted for over two years.
Three more deletions (by two other authors) followed, and I restored a second and third time, stopping to avoid 3RR violation. Prior to these restorations I asked the editors involved to discuss on Talk, but so far they have not responded with any constructive dialogue. I then posted notices to the Israel and Palestine Wikiproject pages to invite more discussion.
The question is: am I doing something wrong here? What would the best approach be? And, can a group of editors collectively be guilty of 3RR? I believe these editors are incorrect to delete the Israel category unless they simultaneously delete the Palestine one. Thank you. Jtrevor99 ( talk) 03:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

You need to block this IP indefinitely. I don't cxare if they DON'T think Unicorn: Warriors Eternal is not adult animation. Williams Street or no Williams Street, if it's on Adult Swim, then it technically IS adult animation.

to prove otherwise. Looking at the editing history of that article it looks like that "adult" descriptor has been contested off and on for about as long as the article has been around. If you want the descriptor added the burden is on you to show that it belongs, and the easiest way to do that is to provide a reliable source that directly and unambiguously supports that descriptor. Saying that because it's in a certain programming block that it falls into a specific genre looks like WP:OR. It is not vandalism to disagree with an unsourced opinion.

I know I said I'll seek RFPP, but that'll clearly be of no use. I'm going to ask you or other admins to disable the anon editing if they revert on more pages. I'll wait until next month for that however, I hope you will listen if there's no other way left.

Hello,
I have noticed that you added protection to the Dračevica article, which is good, but just before you did that, AzureCitizen made an edit which matched Santasa99 line of disruptive edit warring as shown here:
I have asked to revert his edit, but even if he was willing to do so, he is now unable to because of the added protection. That is why I am now asking you to revert the article back to my last attempt at a stable and correct version - Dračevica
Otherwise, Santasa effectively bypasses the ban on making 3 consecutive reverts.
I hope that you will consider my request.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.87.123.180 ( talk) 21:29, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
the three-revert rule applies per person. One editor made 3 reverts, you made 3 reverts, and another made 1. In part because 3RR was not violated, the page was protected in lieu of blocking editors so that discussion could take place on the talk page, which again I highly suggest you use because if editors had been blocked instead you would have been included in those blocks. Please take this time to use the talk page on those two articles, get a consensus, and use dispute resolution if necessary. - Aoidh ( talk) 21:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Let me be clear, you and the IP were not blocked only so that you could discuss the content on the articles. If either of you deign to not use the talk page and merely wait out the protection to revert back to your preferred version you will be blocked for edit warring.- Aoidh ( talk) 00:04, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

The IP-hopping vandal at the Rupavahini redirect is doing is thing again. I don't know why the insistence on vandalising it, but I'd recommend a permanent semi-protection. Urbanoc ( talk) 07:30, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi! When you archived the references in Piri, did you do them manually or did you use a tool? Laun chba ller 10:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi there. I saw your findings re: Oncamera. I respect your uninvolved opinion. My feedback is that their WP:NOTTHEM (sure, technically they weren't appealing a block) responses, and your also calling them out for their accusations, make a warning seem to me to be quite lenient for a repeat offender. The net is that two previous EW blocks still didnt make them respectful of the EW policy here and now. If they hopefully realize the generosity granted and finally see the light, then it can be a net positive. Cheers, and kudos for a thankless job patrolling noticeboards. Regards. — Bagumba ( talk) 01:28, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello Aoidh, about the 24 hour block for the Barbary slave trade edit. Please look at the edit history, I didn't add the paragraph: "A compilation of partial statistics and patchy estimates indicates that almost 2 million Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles were seized from 1468 to 1694. Additionally, there were slaves from the Caucasus obtained by a mixture of raiding and trading. 16th- and 17th-century customs statistics suggest that Istanbul's slave import from the Black Sea may have totaled around 2.5 million from 1450 to 1700." It was already there but near the end of the wikipedia article, I just wanted to put that paragraph in the context of the "Extent" sub-section where the numbers and statistics are. But M.Bitton kept deleting my edit so I had the idea of a "Barbary pirates in the wider Ottoman slave trade context" sub-section where that paragraph would have fit in perfectly especially since at the start I put this informatiom from the The Cambridge World History of Slavery: Volume 3, AD 1420–AD 1804. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0521840682 "Although the regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli were technically under Ottoman suzerainty, the Ottomans exercised very little real authority in deciding specific raids of the Barbary pirates."
Another thing the user that reported me,
M.Bitton started insulting me and calling me "asinine":
Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers
Wikipedia:No personal attacks:
Talk:Barbary slave trade#The section talking about the numbers of Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles slaves is being pushed at the end of the article and not at the start where the numbers are being talked about
After I got the 24 hour block he deleted this text that was sourced from
The Cambridge World History of Slavery: Volume 3, AD 1420–AD 1804 : " Of these European slaves, it's estimated that fewer than 5% escaped or were ransomed. From 1520 to 1830, Algiers alone imported about 625,000." It talked specifically about the Barbary pirates and not the Ottomans in general. He deleted it without explaination. This deserves a report if he continues to delete that information.
Good day.

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.With that in mind, on October 26 you made 4 reverts:
You've had enough only when you got embarrassed that you misunderstood that quote.That is hardly civil commentary and you cannot know their state of mind, so that comment was unnecessarily inflammatory and served no good purpose; there is a very good reason why Wikipedia:No personal attacks begins with
Comment on content, not on the contributor. Furthermore, if calling a comment asinine is a personal attack then why was this tit-for-tat response made? I see some less-than-exemplary commentary on that talk page, but it is by no means limited to M.Bitton. - Aoidh ( talk) 12:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Other than replying with the insult he said first, I abstained from insulting him because I wanted to remain polite, I do want to stress again that this edit is not polite in any way; their calling your comment asinine was predicated upon that initial incivility, and mocking them by copying their own comment is also not polite in any way. This is precisely why WP:NPA stresses to comment on content, not the contributor, as it derails discussions and is neither helpful nor compatible with a collaborative editing environment. As for the content itself, I cannot comment on that because that would involve me in the dispute which would bar me from acting further in an administrative capacity regarding that dispute. If necessary I would suggest using a form of dispute resolution if you'd like outside input. - Aoidh ( talk) 12:42, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi. More than 90% of the contributions of the user User:Pedantic Aristotle are related to the politician Javier Milei. This is clearly an single-purpose account. But it's not just that, this user is also resorting to vandalism, as he has tried to extremely and massively delete information with sources from Javier Milei article. It's not the first time he's done it. He has also attempted to massively erase information with sources from the La Libertad Avanza article, a political coalition to which Javier Milei belongs. I show some examples of mass deletion of information with sources that this user has carried out:

Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links.) The edit notice header for SPI reflects this concern, so if you suspect sockpuppetry you would need to gather evidence and open an investigation, but please do not accuse editors of or suggest that they are likely engaging in sockpuppetry without evidence. Thank you. - Aoidh ( talk) 21:54, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

I think their talk page access should be revoked. About this IP they impersonated me in the sandbox last week asking an inappropriate question which I would never ask, which got them blocked for 6 months, and I think they made the User:1034Forest account to impersonate me in response to that block, which has been blocked indefinitely for vandalism and impersonation. And now they seem desperate to want to get back on Wikipedia and edit again, but looking at their talk page's history, they impersonated you and in one edit they pretended to be an admin and have "secret admin powers". 1033Forest ( talk) 16:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
i had been browsing sandbox edits as i usually do, and noticed this user was blocked. out of curiosity, i checked the block reason, saw talk page discussions, and i honestly think this might not be a sock judging by the edits. to my understanding, they most likely came across the individual who reported the IP to you, looked at their edits, and made their own opinion on it. purely speculative, of course. possibly review the block? i might be wrong, though DrowssapSMM ( talk) ( contributions) 01:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for standing to become arbitrator! My story today is Canticle I: My beloved is mine and I am his, - the composer, born OTD 110 years ago, didn't want it shorter (but the publisher), - more here. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:53, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for a reply to my cand question. I may discuss it after tomorrow's concert when we will sing the Mozart and listen to Pärt's urgent call for peace played by the strings, - I'm not in the mood before ;) - I mentioned Pärt for a reason, could have been Beethoven as well, in other words: I believe it's time for a fresh look, as we were told 10 years ago. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your answer: your recipes are good. I would not agree, however, that infoboxes are contentious on Wikipedia, because - as everybody reading it can easily tell - infoboxes are almost everywhere, - they are contentious only in a small corner of subjects, in articles by a small group of editors. I met the dispute in 2012, for Samuel Barber (where I opposed for redundancy, but understood within a day that the redundancy serves readers with different needs). Brian Boulton added a compromise to Chopin as a RfC result in 2015. I thought that would settle it, dreamer that I am ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl said something wise on his talk, - yes, regarding a soft(er) stance - or should I say more sympathetic? - towards infoboxes. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:10, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland? Compare Max Reger, Max Beckschäfer, Colin Mawby (from today's story), and Benjamin Britten (who died OTD). What's the difference? If what you see changes your answer to my question, feel free to change, and ping me. I would like to see a way to avoid in the future hundreds of editors commenting on Mozart RfCs, just to kind of restore the infobox he had in 2006. Happy new era ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:23, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I am not very familiar with wikipedia, so it’s possible this discussion should be posted elsewhere; I apologize, if this is the case. A few days ago I edited the Voynich Manuscript page to add references to the Alchemical Herbal, a medieval Italian work that scholars Sergio Toresella and Alain Touwaide mentioned as a parallel to the Voynich herbal. My edits were removed and I’d like to know if there is anything I can do to reference Toresella and Touwaide in a more appropriate way, so that they needn't be removed.

Hi, thanks for your help at Marla Maples and Lara Trump. I'm not entirely familiar with the CTOPS restrictions on here but it seems to me that the subjects of both those pages are controversial as they are connected to Donald Trump who no doubt is controversial. Not to mention that the subjects of both articles are BLPs and both articles just received an overwhelming amount of egregious vandalism. My question is would you consider making the semi-protection for both pages longer? Trump related pages seem like ideal vandalism targets. Jordan Crandell ( talk) 01:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
