Hello @ Courcelles! Could you please take a look at the revision history for the page Bade Fateh Ali Khan whenever you get a chance? I believe the last 2 edits warrant an Undo -- I tried to do it but it won't go through for some reason. The entire Infobox has been removed and the edit itself is likely unwarranted. Would be great if the article could be restored to the version dated 23 August 2022. Thanks so much for your time and review. Priyanka2330 ( talk) 06:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, it looks as though you decided to block only the one IP for sockmaster Honduras200010, and that surprised me. See the previous range block history, consisting of three consecutive blocks, and note, as I'd explained, that the abuse picked up again almost as soon as the last block ended, a year ago, and it's been unrelenting since then. We have the 190.92s locked up for now, but then the user just comes over to this range and begins again. Can you please consider blocking this range to so maybe we can get a year of peace?

As my local CTOP go-to-guy, I have a question. At Template:Contentious topics/alert/first, there are four templates listed for gender-related disputes (({{subst:alert/first|gg}}, {{subst:alert/first|ggtf}}, {{subst:alert/first|gap}} and {{subst:alert/first|gas}}). All four have the description "gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them", and all four link to the same decision and topic specific subpage. So what's the difference between them? -- Ponyo bons mots 18:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey Courcelles. I wanted to thank you for being willing to take action on that CHILDPROTECT issue raised at ANI, despite the fact that it was an edge case: I 100% agree that all factors and red flags considered, it made more sense not to take the chance. I didn't want to spill the wp:beans, because I didn't have a smoking gun to prove my suspicions, but I was virtually certain that editor was a sock of one or another of the LTAs that habitually POV push with regard to certain articles: one just gets a sense for their modus operandi after a while. After getting RfC'd to a discussion related to some of the same articles and issues a few years back, I began keeping an eye on certain pages that are recurrent sites for CHILDPROTECT violations. It's without question the single least pleasant thing I've ever had to be involved with on the project (you honestly might not believe some of the hair-raising, stomach-churning things I've seen people be willing to say on these talk pages), but having seen how tenacious some of these sockmasters can be, I've just never felt right about leaving these articles un-monitored for too long, ever since. All of which is to say, an admin willing to draw a firm line and act decisively on these matters is really very appreciated. SnowRise let's rap 06:24, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello i am not a troll and the reason i got blocked was because i was trying to remove the link to a unverifiable website that Austronesier kept insisting to add its still there as i dont care about that anymore. But what im trying to explain is that there's a user who keeps editing the article of the Sudanese Arabs and changing the wording from " Some of them are descended from Arabs from the Arabian peninsula with varying degrees of admixture from Peninsular Arabs" to " Some of them are of Nubian and Arab descent with varying cases of admixture from Peninsular Arabs" and than adding links to books that cant be accessed and he is saying that source 9 right now which was originally source 7 mention that when it was there from before and it mentions that the many Sudanese are Arabized Nubians but doesn't mention that they are mixed.

You only locked it without reverting the vandalism of this troll DoingTheNeedful and his sockpuppets. He is adding irrelevant or outright made up sources for his claims. He is a self admitted racist troll ( https://i.imgur.com/bb9R6EE.png) even his name has racist contentions. He is also bragging about it ( https://i.imgur.com/ND8mkeG.png).

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Hi Courcelles, about a week ago you semi-protected Talk:Sound of Freedom (film) for 3 months, in response to a request to stop "Rampant sockpuppetry and meatpuppetry from IP editors, who have descended on the talk page of a faith-based film en masse in order to push their POV on the various discussions."
What has now happened is that a user with an interesting history (created just two days ago, made several trivial edits like this, figured out how to tag articles for citation needed as their 3rd ever edit to Wikipedia, [12]) is desperate to get their comments on the (protected) Talk page. But since they didn't have the patience to wait the 4 days to get autoconfirmed, they have gone shopping for autoconfirmed users who will be willing to edit the page to put their comments in, circumventing the protection. Is this proper, in your opinion? Red Slapper ( talk) 17:24, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Just a quick question if you don't mind: if the contentious topics procedure applies to an article, can an IP or an editor with less 500 edits start a RfC on the concerned article's talk page and/or !vote in one? Thanks. M.Bitton ( talk) 22:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
I agree with you, or maybe you agree with me. Deletion discussions often become uncivil, and Arbitration Enforcement should be authorized to deal with disruptive conduct. By the way, the Portals case was also about civility in deletion discussions. Both Portals and the AFD case sanctioned certain editors, and called for a community discussion, but the community discussion fizzled out. So we are seeing incivility in discussions of deletion of portals, articles, and categories. They are all incivility in deletion discussions. Robert McClenon ( talk) 00:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

While Krimuk2.0's edits to the ""Sound of Freedom" talk page is becoming a forum" thread on AN immediately after your unblock of them do not technically violate the terms of the unblock, they certainly seem to violate the spirit of the unblock.

A user named Kumareshwiki is always engaged in edit wars on these pages. I have already explained in their talk page that both Baahubali films are bilingual and must be included in both Tamil and Telugu films lists, but they never accept and always engage in vandalism by simply copying and pasting an old version of this page replacing updated correct box office figures with old wrong ones and unreliable sources, as can be seen from their contributions page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kumareshwiki . So please protect these pages as soon as possible. Thanks. Cinephile4ever 03:36, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

The Note has an error. In both sentences, the word "gun" is used when the correct word is "barrel". The first sentence is "L/45 denotes the length of the gun." That should be "L/45 denotes the length of the _barrel_ and is an indicator of the gun's accuracy and range when compared to other guns of that caliber." However, the actual text is apparently imported from somewhere else, when I go to edit it I don't see it.

Thank you for the information you left me regarding contentious topics. However, I didn’t edit the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. article at all. I just put forth my point of view on the talk page. (For one thing, had I edited the article to my point of view, the edit would have doubtlessly been reverted in less time than it would have taken me to make the edit. Also, I recognize that before any significant change is made to an article, there should be a discussion of the proposed edit on the talk page to see if the change could achieve a consensus among editors and should not be effected otherwise. So I think I was doing exactly what I was supposed to do.)
I feel strongly that the total objectivity of Wikipedia should be maintained and that Wiki should never act as the arbiter of what is fact. In cases where there is a significant public and/or expert opinion within a field that a view is not factual then, as I stated on the talk page discussion (such as it was), I have no objection that such be pointed out within the article which would essentially achieve the desired result of those editors who oppose me on this point without surrendering Wiki’s claim to encyclopedic objectivity and neutrality. In this case, I certainly concur that Mr. Kennedy’s views on the merits and risks of vaccinations, antedating the covid pandemic, are problematic at best. That is my opinion and I have no special expertise as a Wiki editor to transform that opinion into an authoritative pronouncement of fact.
Thank you again for the information you sent to me, and I shall review such as time permits. HistoryBuff14 ( talk) 21:11, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Courcelles, good to see you back! Thanks for blocking Ubdead575, who was vandalizing Loserfruit, and for deleting the mentions of the subject's address. There is one more mention of the address on the talk page Talk:Loserfruit (not from a vandal, just someone asking to remove it from the regular page). Could you delete that one as well? Thanks!

You recently semi-protected University of California, Berkeley due to a request at RFPP. You may want to double the article's recent editing history - it doesn't come close to meeting the bar for protection. It's only been vandalized once in the past week or two and there's been a small disagreement about some material added to the lede (which seems to have been cleared up with the most recent edits). Protection was requested by a new editor who is a party to the content dispute and semi-protection is not only unnecessary but would also not address the content dispute (which doesn't rise to the level of requiring protection anyway). ElKevbo ( talk) 13:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
I have realised that in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FYE31 I wrote "...has not edited since January", where I meant to write "...has not edited since January 2022". I suppose it isn't desperately important, but I thought it better to get it right, and judged that this would be one of the rare occasions when editing an archived investigation would be reasonable. However, my edit didn't go through, and I got a message asking me not to edit an SPI archive unless I'm a CU or clerk. Perhaps you may like to consider doing it for me.

Hello @ Courcelles! Could you please take a look at the revision history for the page Bade Fateh Ali Khan whenever you get a chance? I believe the last 2 edits warrant an Undo -- I tried to do it but it won't go through for some reason. The entire Infobox has been removed and the edit itself is likely unwarranted. Would be great if the article could be restored to the version dated 23 August 2022. Thanks so much for your time and review. Priyanka2330 ( talk) 06:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, it looks as though you decided to block only the one IP for sockmaster Honduras200010, and that surprised me. See the previous range block history, consisting of three consecutive blocks, and note, as I'd explained, that the abuse picked up again almost as soon as the last block ended, a year ago, and it's been unrelenting since then. We have the 190.92s locked up for now, but then the user just comes over to this range and begins again. Can you please consider blocking this range to so maybe we can get a year of peace?

Hey Courcelles. I wanted to thank you for being willing to take action on that CHILDPROTECT issue raised at ANI, despite the fact that it was an edge case: I 100% agree that all factors and red flags considered, it made more sense not to take the chance. I didn't want to spill the wp:beans, because I didn't have a smoking gun to prove my suspicions, but I was virtually certain that editor was a sock of one or another of the LTAs that habitually POV push with regard to certain articles: one just gets a sense for their modus operandi after a while. After getting RfC'd to a discussion related to some of the same articles and issues a few years back, I began keeping an eye on certain pages that are recurrent sites for CHILDPROTECT violations. It's without question the single least pleasant thing I've ever had to be involved with on the project (you honestly might not believe some of the hair-raising, stomach-churning things I've seen people be willing to say on these talk pages), but having seen how tenacious some of these sockmasters can be, I've just never felt right about leaving these articles un-monitored for too long, ever since. All of which is to say, an admin willing to draw a firm line and act decisively on these matters is really very appreciated. SnowRise let's rap 06:24, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello i am not a troll and the reason i got blocked was because i was trying to remove the link to a unverifiable website that Austronesier kept insisting to add its still there as i dont care about that anymore. But what im trying to explain is that there's a user who keeps editing the article of the Sudanese Arabs and changing the wording from " Some of them are descended from Arabs from the Arabian peninsula with varying degrees of admixture from Peninsular Arabs" to " Some of them are of Nubian and Arab descent with varying cases of admixture from Peninsular Arabs" and than adding links to books that cant be accessed and he is saying that source 9 right now which was originally source 7 mention that when it was there from before and it mentions that the many Sudanese are Arabized Nubians but doesn't mention that they are mixed.

Hi Courcelles, about a week ago you semi-protected Talk:Sound of Freedom (film) for 3 months, in response to a request to stop "Rampant sockpuppetry and meatpuppetry from IP editors, who have descended on the talk page of a faith-based film en masse in order to push their POV on the various discussions."
What has now happened is that a user with an interesting history (created just two days ago, made several trivial edits like this, figured out how to tag articles for citation needed as their 3rd ever edit to Wikipedia, [12]) is desperate to get their comments on the (protected) Talk page. But since they didn't have the patience to wait the 4 days to get autoconfirmed, they have gone shopping for autoconfirmed users who will be willing to edit the page to put their comments in, circumventing the protection. Is this proper, in your opinion? Red Slapper ( talk) 17:24, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Just a quick question if you don't mind: if the contentious topics procedure applies to an article, can an IP or an editor with less 500 edits start a RfC on the concerned article's talk page and/or !vote in one? Thanks. M.Bitton ( talk) 22:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
I agree with you, or maybe you agree with me. Deletion discussions often become uncivil, and Arbitration Enforcement should be authorized to deal with disruptive conduct. By the way, the Portals case was also about civility in deletion discussions. Both Portals and the AFD case sanctioned certain editors, and called for a community discussion, but the community discussion fizzled out. So we are seeing incivility in discussions of deletion of portals, articles, and categories. They are all incivility in deletion discussions. Robert McClenon ( talk) 00:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

The Note has an error. In both sentences, the word "gun" is used when the correct word is "barrel". The first sentence is "L/45 denotes the length of the gun." That should be "L/45 denotes the length of the _barrel_ and is an indicator of the gun's accuracy and range when compared to other guns of that caliber." However, the actual text is apparently imported from somewhere else, when I go to edit it I don't see it.

99% sure this is BuickCenturyDriver ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – 31 hours won't help. But thanks for the quick intervention! — Trey Maturin™ 15:07, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Huh, so they had a good hand sock. The Sam Williams case keeps getting weirder. LilianaUwU ( talk / contributions) 12:48, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Does Special:Contributions/Chocholady look like Special:Contributions/Leocadii evading their block to you? I considered blocking and reverting edits, but it perhaps warrants a second set of eyes or even a CU. Daniel Quinlan ( talk) 12:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
The behavior isn't enough for a SPI but the editing patterns seem basically identical to me. I just want someone else around here to maybe take a look and to be aware of the possibility. Heh, maybe I'm wrong but anyway...

Thank you for reverting the "GA review." David notMD ( talk) 06:21, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Would it be helpful to the clerk if I were to point out TCG's (and his socks') previous edits to MOS:CURRENCY and pound sterling, to help identify his "fist"? Btw, an amusing snippet: at talk:pound sterling, I replied to him saying "as I've explained to you before..." and he replied to the rest of my comment without any denial that we had ever crossed paths before.
In any event, you may consider his edit warring and disinclination to comply with wp:brd protocol merits at least a short term block? -- 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 17:20, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
WP:RFPP#Dafina_Zeqiri looks a lot like Dealer07. Could you please do a CU on 62.74.14.3? Thanks! Daniel Quinlan ( talk) 01:15, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Courcelles. Could you revdel this? Thanks — Golden call me maybe? 16:09, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
my story today |
Listening to Siegfried from the 2023 Bayreuth Festival, third act, Andreas Schager as Siegfried waking up Brünnhilde, reminded me of this discussion. Was there anything in it demanding arbitration? - A few weeks later, three participants were admonished, - for what still remains a mystery to me? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:29, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
[23] Thanks, Knitsey ( talk) 16:33, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for the information you left me regarding contentious topics. However, I didn’t edit the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. article at all. I just put forth my point of view on the talk page. (For one thing, had I edited the article to my point of view, the edit would have doubtlessly been reverted in less time than it would have taken me to make the edit. Also, I recognize that before any significant change is made to an article, there should be a discussion of the proposed edit on the talk page to see if the change could achieve a consensus among editors and should not be effected otherwise. So I think I was doing exactly what I was supposed to do.)
I feel strongly that the total objectivity of Wikipedia should be maintained and that Wiki should never act as the arbiter of what is fact. In cases where there is a significant public and/or expert opinion within a field that a view is not factual then, as I stated on the talk page discussion (such as it was), I have no objection that such be pointed out within the article which would essentially achieve the desired result of those editors who oppose me on this point without surrendering Wiki’s claim to encyclopedic objectivity and neutrality. In this case, I certainly concur that Mr. Kennedy’s views on the merits and risks of vaccinations, antedating the covid pandemic, are problematic at best. That is my opinion and I have no special expertise as a Wiki editor to transform that opinion into an authoritative pronouncement of fact.
Thank you again for the information you sent to me, and I shall review such as time permits. HistoryBuff14 ( talk) 21:11, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Courcelles, good to see you back! Thanks for blocking Ubdead575, who was vandalizing Loserfruit, and for deleting the mentions of the subject's address. There is one more mention of the address on the talk page Talk:Loserfruit (not from a vandal, just someone asking to remove it from the regular page). Could you delete that one as well? Thanks!

You recently semi-protected University of California, Berkeley due to a request at RFPP. You may want to double the article's recent editing history - it doesn't come close to meeting the bar for protection. It's only been vandalized once in the past week or two and there's been a small disagreement about some material added to the lede (which seems to have been cleared up with the most recent edits). Protection was requested by a new editor who is a party to the content dispute and semi-protection is not only unnecessary but would also not address the content dispute (which doesn't rise to the level of requiring protection anyway). ElKevbo ( talk) 13:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
I have realised that in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FYE31 I wrote "...has not edited since January", where I meant to write "...has not edited since January 2022". I suppose it isn't desperately important, but I thought it better to get it right, and judged that this would be one of the rare occasions when editing an archived investigation would be reasonable. However, my edit didn't go through, and I got a message asking me not to edit an SPI archive unless I'm a CU or clerk. Perhaps you may like to consider doing it for me.
