Thanks for supported my recent, albeit unsuccessful RfA. Your support was greatly appreciated.At least yours was successful. You seem to have established yourself as Wikipedia's answer to Rodney King. (I've also never seen a "Meh" banner before.) Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:57, 28 August 2019 (UTC) |
You're welcome; sorry it didn't work out. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for trying; I think we all gave it our best (including Yamla with an exemplary response to a death curse, although actually I think the threat was aimed at Bish, but if we are all Bloodofox, as the user has apparently decided, then same difference). I talked to JzG but he wants the redirect to stay unchanged, which is a pity from my perspective but ... I suddenly have like 30 edits today, and I must stay below 100 to make some sort of gesture against WMF gloating, even though as to staying below 5, that ship's sailed. So I can't push too hard for restoring a separate page on the topic, let alone rewrite it. The one thing I think should be rev-deleted is that link the user has posted, which is an attempted outing. So anyway, thanks again, and I guess I have over 50 edits to spend fixing and making articles over the rest of the month, but I wish we could have brought that person round to helping and maybe apologizing to Bloodofox Yngvadottir ( talk) 22:45, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

A lot of people there know which editor the LTA obsesses over, and so I'm wondering whether the entire post should be rev-delled (though that might make one good-faith editor's response to that comment look a bit weird). --- Sluzzelin talk 20:09, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for making that change. It makes a lot of sense not to have that hyphen; once it was explained to me I developed quite a loathing for it. It's about ambiguity; a "well known man" generally needs a hyphen, as otherwise it could mean a "known man" who is also "well". With a "newly painted room", it's obvious that "newly" qualifies "painted", as a "newly room" makes no sense. So no ambiguity and no hyphen needed. But perhaps you knew that? Ericoides ( talk) 11:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
I think what you said is what I meant, but was perhaps I was too short? I hope they will listen to a former arb, rather than to one with "battleground" painted on her back by the almighty arbcom ;) - I just heard Otello, the opera with the 5 tenors, and before intermission, black paint was smeared on many costumes, and finally "OTELLO" on the marble wall. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:13, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

As an editor in the community, I plan to retire and have complete no-access to this account. I have reviewed looked at my contributions and yes I have lacked helping the community much. As you are an Admin could you get me (blocked/banned) etc on Wikipedia as I am not just leaving Wikipedia (as an editor)/ I will still be interesting in reading articles. but I am also retiring my email associated with the account.

I made a request on ANI, or WP:Great Dismal Swamp. Need an admin to decide if something needs a revdel or not. It should not look like this. I was already told how disruptive I am, so could need help, - just look for my name, or a joyful noise. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the edit. Regarding your edit summary — WP:BRINT's "Good reasons to bypass redirects" section concludes with Links on the Main Page. In my opinion, one reason to do this is to facilitate use of the pageviews counter: anything on the Main Page will get tons of hits, and if we link to a redirect for an entire day, someone looking at statistics will understandably be confused by the fact that the page got far fewer hits than is common for something linked from the Main Page.

You put the Cardinals page under full protection. As you can see from the discussion on the talk page, as well as the referenced prior discussion there is a consensus to not include the 2001 division championship. Also the Cardinals did just win the 2019 championship. Can you remove the protection so this can be updated? Spanneraol ( talk) 16:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
@
Spanneraol: Done. Let me know if someone resumes edit warring against that consensus; now that consensus is clear, future edit warring can be dealt with by blocks rather than protection. --

Hi, I'm probably going to be writing up an Arbitration committee report this month for The Signpost. Before I start, I found this and wondered if you had anything to say about the reasoning behind it. Seems a bit unusual and – well – uneven-handed. If you could specifically address why you aren't following the policy-defined process in Wikipedia:Banning policy#User pages, I'd appreciate that. ☆ Bri ( talk) 01:16, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey Floq,
Thanks for the close on my Proposal. I did not know you had to propose that on arbcom. I’m not an admin and not entirely familiar with ArbCom, so Ill steer clear of starting a case and maybe someone else will bring it up.
My proposal was done in good faith and I stand by my reasonings I proposed. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Floq. You removed the sock tags from EC's userpage and indefinitely full protected it. He is still socking, and using socks to influence RfAs. This editor should not receive special treatment.

I don't know about the others here, but I had a tag on my page for the whole year (2013 to 2014) that I was banned. I'm not an enemy of EC, but his page should be tagged as long as EC's banned. GoodDay ( talk) 04:29, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
I won't fight with an Arb, an Arb clerk responding to an Arb's request, or a CU readding the tag. I (an arb and CU) originally added the tags as a routine part of the ArbCom/CU block. So your reverting to and protecting the version before that is already overriding an arbitration/CU action. Like I say, if that's what you want to do it's fine by me, but let's call a spade a spade. – Joe ( talk) 21:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Floquenbeam, were these two reverts by Hijiri88 yesterday in the spirit of your earlier warnings to Hijiri88 and I? [2] [3] These reverts are the same as the previous [4], and I feel that it was too soon to revert yet again before a full discussion was complete. I believe he ignored the spirit of the warnings delivered by several editors to avoid making contentious reverts so soon. [5] [6] Martinthewriter ( talk) 22:19, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Floquenbeam, regarding your disparaging comment at WP:MP/E about "harping" on faulty juxtapositioning: I notice German Wiki's OTD manages to coordinate illustrations and blurbs.

It was a busy night on the ARS list. There was a minor edit war, with User ජපස reverting my addition to the rescue list twice: first, second. Next User ජපස tried to delete the whole project. Next the talk page. I decided to exit at this point.
Then Hijiri88 then became involved posting on my addition to the list which the editors were fussing over, here and here Due to my IBAN with Hijiri88, I understand we are not allowed to "feud" with one another, but is Hijiri88's involvement with my listing okay? Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long way of asking a question here. Lightburst ( talk) 15:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Kind of the same way you showed up at ARS for the first time in 4 months to make a seemingly innocuous comment on a section Lightburst started?I don't ARS very often (I find the process very frustrating -- I point out that someone is canvassing, then someone else shows up and tells me to **** off, rinse and repeat). But I monitor it constantly, and frequently show up on the AFDs linked from there. In this instance I actually wanted to comment on the AFD, but because you had told me you would block me for "battleground" behaviour if you saw me disputing with LB, and I was fairly certain LB would post something like the above if I became involved in any way, I stayed away. [7] Then I saw another editor, not LB, alter someone else's (also not LB) comment without explanation, and I didn't even revert that, but rather left a note inline explaining that it had happened. I have been monitoring ARS for well over a year (actually exactly as long as I've been monitoring the Mottainai article) and it could even be argued that LB followed me there (he became much more active on it after I filed a CCI on him; LB's showing up out of the blue on an article I have been involved in to !vote against me is clear disruptive hounding (he made it so the RFC couldn't be speedy-closed as the tendentious canvassing that it was).
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Thought you should know that Hijiri 88 will not drop the stick. He now refers to me in code, as one of the "Big four". If you read the thread there is no other conclusion to make. He is working hard in the Village Pump thread to get me topic banned or get someone else to file an ANI saying I should be site banned. Additionally here he is talking about my edits on SportingFlyer's talk page to get him fired up too. For my part I have avoided the editor. I am also not responding to his spurious attacks. It gets old and I am tired of collecting diffs, probably as tired as you are of looking at them. Lightburst ( talk) 15:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Floquenbeam I wouldn't mind getting an answer to Dream Focus' concerns about Hijiri88's IBAN violations. Hijiri88 has been following Dream Focus around, constantly criticizing him without mentioning his name. He criticizes him as being one of the "big four" [10]. He also followed Dream Focus to a deletion discussion and said, "It should probably also be noted that all (but one?) of the keep !votes are regular WP:ARS members who were canvassed on that page and showed up to block-vote" [11]. Hijiri88 also followed Dream Focus to another discussion to say "many (most?) of the people who are arguing with you (several of whom have a history of being blocked, warned, or having their edits revdelled, due to copyright violations)" [12]. Is it a violation of Hijiri88's IBAN for Hijiri88 to be stalking Dream Focus and casting aspersions on him without mentioning his name specifically? This is a point that is badly in need of clarification. Worldlywise ( talk) 01:50, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I recognized this edit as something that had frustratingly happened to me many times. To prevent this annoying situation, add the following to User:Floquenbeam/common.js:
// Prevent accidental submits
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input#wpSummary').keypress(function(e){
if(e.which==13) e.preventDefault();
});
});
This will prevent your edit from being submitted if you accidentally (or on purpose) hit the enter key in the edit summary. It will only be submitted upon hitting the "Publish changes" button. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:57, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

You're free to remove my post at AN, since you're an administrator. But, take it easy with the edit summary content. I've been around for over 14+ years on Wikipedia & I have a strong sense of when a 'new' editor is going to be a long-term problem. PS - recommend you keep on eye on both Albert II of Belgium & Delphine Boel, in the meantime. GoodDay ( talk) 20:37, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Your edit summary ...and it's a bad look when someone on the other side of the arbcom case is the one to remove it. Does this apply to Ritchie333's change? Someone who gave evidence "...on the other side..." and which change significantly altered the page appearance (I did glance at it, before the removal). Why the differentiation? OK, with hindsight I could've commented it out, which would've given a prompt, point taken; I noticed something in situ which others may not have. What is the reason for your biased commentary?-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 04:10, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
I queried when the trainee clerk posted at 19:00-ish that Evidence was to close in 7 hours time; I am used to ebay machine time of 23:59:59, not + 2 extra hours. Moreover, the clerk got it wrong by a whole day, and had to be advised/self correct. I also commented on the generic, catch-all term User rights, meaning low-level tools dished out to anyone who requested them, as advised to me in early 2015, as distinct from administrator privileges which are determined after a formal sequence.
I noticed at RHaworth someone commented on BHG - I didn't know about it, but have collaborated with someone she just short-blocked, of which I was aware; I noticed Liz made some changes to BHG, but didn't look deeply. Now I will go through it, together with Fram, TRM as always intended, plus BuRob13(?), why not, writing this from memory, also re-acquaint myself with JYTdog. I have my own agenda; I curtailed contributing prose over the past two years through disillusionment although I'm still around much more than would be surmised by tallying the edits against the gaps.
Johnuniq I regret that you've concluded I'm here to poke a stick; I tried to be neutral at all times, including when I suggested RHaworth as file mover (en WP to Commons). Ritchie333 I could also suggest a programming project, but perhaps that would not go down well; I've tried three without fruit - 1. blocked, 2. responded but failed to follow up (I think not capable), 3. responded only by tps. I was interested to see some disquiet at RHaworth regarding broken closing-code, having been picked up for that myself recently. Think that's all for now.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 20:58, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

on the seconds thoughts, only if it is not trouble/too time consuming, would it be possible to copy the last version of article, and paste it to User:Usernamekiran/List of pornographic subgenres? Just in case full or some trimmed version is acceptable for mainspace, then we can perform a histmerge later. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. I feel sort of guilty/odd for pestering. Please feel free to say no. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

There is no LTA page for that vandal. I've considered one but also consider WP:DENY and am not sure which direction to go. There has been the occasional edit that clearly indicates bad faith, but on the whole the fixation on categories (while some of the past IPs have been used to introduce grammatical issues as well) is only marginally disruptive and a rather strange thing for someone to choose as a form of disruption. Would an LTA page be a good idea? -- Sable232 ( talk) 23:05, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Floq,
Since you have proposed to close the ANI thread concerning me, I'm reaching out to you for an independent assessment related to my argument/proposal having been struck in the subject MfD thread. Noting that my arguments in outstanding XfD discussions hadn't been struck and since there were at least 1-2 other editors who posted similar arguments after me, I'm just wondering if you can independently assess whether my argument can remain in that thread.
Thanks,

I was in the process of drafting a final statement for my talk page, but I'll keep this brief. I did express support for the proposed close, as written, but what was troubling me—and what kept me awake most of the night—was the proposed Wikipedia:/Wikipedia talk: namespace restriction that would follow the community-sanctioned four-month block. Ivanvector sums up my concern concisely in that it would preclude me from participating in XfD discussions, from closing XfD discussions, from nominating non-notable articles or problematic redirects created while patrolling as part of New Pages Patrol. Since Rosguill had previously encouraged me to be bold later this spring and draft a section on soft redirects to Wikimedia sister projects in the NPP WP:RPATROL guide for patrollers, this would also be precluded, as would WikiGnoming-type edits on the NPP pages (i.e., manually archiving closed WT:RWHITELIST requests after they've been closed for the stipulated timeframe, correction of minor errors, and so forth). Likewise, it would also preclude me from listing at WP:RMTR otherwise potentially controversial bold, but undiscussed page moves that should have had a full discussion, and it would preclude me from listing at WP:PM, and helping to complete, proposed article mergers in the applicable holding cell. So, I'm wondering if we could maybe have a community-mandated mentor that could provide me with the necessary guidance, and observe my general editing and behaviour patterns and briefly report in to WP:AN in 3-4 months following the lifting of the block for a lifting of the restrictions?

"This is very wordy." My reasoning for this was because I wanted to be clear about everything.
"...this seems more appropriate for Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies than this noticeboard." I thought about putting it there. I might have an edited version there.
"It's good manners to notify people if you're talking about them." I did not think about this at all. I'm sorry for not doing this.
"I'm concerned that you just happened to choose to talk about two of the most contentious arguments about infoboxes. How did you come to notice that these two articles did not have infoboxes?" I discovered Kubrick's article not having an infobox first, and I almost put one in, but then I saw the discussion/consensus notice. I looked through the archived talk pages on this. I just discovered that last night that Cary Grant's page did not have one after looking up his article while watching North By Northwest. This is the one that made me question Dr. Blofeld in the first place.
Overall, I'm sorry if I came off as an enemy.

Hi Floquenbeam, I'll not be available until tomorrow morning probably. I have no objection against you closing (and even deleting) the ANI section I started. I or anyone else can then start an ArbCom case, or (if this is better) mail the known facts to ArbCom so they can deal with it privately.

I have had my posts repeatedly removed by an editor with whom I was in disagreement ... and who has claimed [14] that my restoration of the posts he removed and my posting in the same way as everyone else posts was "[taking] it out on the disadvantaged just to try to get at me".

OK, I'm being too snippy. So to reword the underlying message: You guys have become trapped in an unhealthy feuding mindset. My outside perspective is that you're both in the wrong, to varying degrees. The best thing to do in situations like that is not to try to be vindicated, and not to ask/demand an iban, but to both simply walk away, and find a part of the project you enjoy working on. Other people are more than capable of monitoring the other editors' faults. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 17:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Floq,
For starters, I'll start by saying that I hope you've been doing well, and am sure COVID-19 has probably provided a lot of fodder for spirited discussion between editors. A lot has happened since early March, when we last interacted.
Anyway, as promised on my
talk page, I have a quick question regarding my
editing restriction, I have had
Draft:Erica C. Barnett and
Erica C. Barnett on my
watchlist since
the AfD that closed as
delete. While I was confined to my own user talk page, the draft was subsequently speedily deleted per
G13, and undeletion was requested by the draft's creator. At that point, it was moved back to main namespace,
boldly, with, arguably, little added changes to the article beyond one additional citation being added to reference the publication of her now-published autobiography.
Chetsford (as an aside, {{
noping}} is going to be my new 'go-to' template to use to tag someone, in order to avoid pinging, really, anyone) has, rightly, in my view, re-nominated for it for
AfD. I do have some additional comments that I'd like to make, and
the WMF xtools' page stats for
Erica C. Barnett does list as me as the #3 ranked editor (by total number of edits performed) and the #7 ranked editor (by added text/bytes), so was just wondering if I can add my comments, once, to that AfD on why it should be either deleted or redraftified. I was actually surprised to have ranked so highly, as most of my edits were in the addition of tags and fixing and adding citations/references. Would that be sufficiently broadly construed as "significant contributions" to allow me to participate in that AfD? I would, of course, limit my comments to one instance, and would seek either your or
Mazca's approval should I feel as though additional comments are needed in response to any added comments by other editors.
Thanks,

Hello, I notice that the description of cultural marxism on the Frankfurt school page is described as a conspiracy theory. As I'm sure you are aware philosophy as a rule is open to critisicm. The only criticism of the Frankfurt school is presented as a white supremacist conspiracy, which is undeniable biased. The efforts taken to particularly preserve this section, ie. Removing other users edits and locking the page to further edits is untenable. Further to that, I notice that the page for cultural marxism is also locked and redirects to the Frankfurt school section which calls it a conspiracy theory.
I take issue with this and see it as remarkably biased censorship on a topic that is necessarily open to discussion. What do you propose to do about this?
Thank you, I look forward to your reply. Katiedel0 ( talk) 20:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
I used to do PR work for Constance Jackson in the late 2000's and created the pages for her many films about the history of Civil Rights in the USA. So Ms. Jackson certainly gave her permission to use her copyrighted material, but I have no way to confirm that (you may want to contact her directly). Personally, I'm disappointed that anyone would intentionally search for and delete pages regarding civil rights and the plight of African Americans, but apparently that's in accordance with Wikipedia policy. Ms. Jackson's Wikipedia pages certainly aren't harming anyone, and I respectfully ask that they be left alone. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThroughTheWoods ( talk • contribs) 17:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@ Floquenbeam: we have a problem. See [17] and [18]. Horse Eye Jack ( talk) 17:46, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
@ Horse Eye Jack and CaradhrasAiguo: This was tricky, but based on the AN discussion (permalink) it probably counts as i-ban violation. I've reverted it. I believe it was inadvertent, because (a) it has only happened once, (b) it was not a full revrt, but a modification, and (c) it relates to an edit from February, which is admittedly hard to trace.
This is part of the reason i-bans are hard; it seems crazy to have to figure out the ultimate source of every piece of text you want to change. That's why many editors will disengage, before an i-ban is imposed, to avoid this headache.
This i-ban expires in a few days, on 9 July at 00:01 UTC. I'm still not clear if you both want to extend it or not, but I'm not sure a true i-ban is terribly workable in this particular case, with two prolific editors frequenting the same articles. If you both want an i-ban, let's say that if anything like this comes up in the future, you can ping me that the other person broke the i-ban, and if I agree I'll revert the edit. If it starts happening frequently, then I'll start to lose faith that they're inadvertent.
Please both of you, let me know what you want going forward. Both would need to agree for a 2-way i-ban to be imposed without community discussion. If you don't agree, then the next conflict will have to head to ANI, which as we all know is a crapshoot. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 17:01, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I'm being subject to stalking from a JoelB.Lewis, and request assistance.
Their editing history is here: [19]
1. On 12 July at 15.35 he prematurely closed a discussion I had opened on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard regarding Reliable Sources. [20]
He then proceeded the stalking.
2. On 12 July at 15.48, having clearly viewed my edit history, he then removed a page tag I had added on a completely unassociated topic.
3. On 13 July at 20.38, it having been restored, he reverts it again.
4. On 15 July, he again clearly reviews my edit history, and again begins stalking: firstly at at 13.01 on Banksy which I had just edited
5. On 15 July at 13.49, his next immediate edit is Pages for Deletion: Prince Louis Ferdinand on which I had commented.
6. Continuing the psychopathic behaviour, he then goes back to Dark Emu, and then has the temerity to post on my Talk page that I have been guilty of personal attacks. If you review what is a difficult discussion ('Disputed') with a separate emotive editor, you will see there is no personal attack.
Could you please caution this JoelB.Lewis (whose Talk Page ironically features a barnstar provided by a sockpuppet) to desist from stalking and harrassing other editors. Thanks so much. ClearBreeze ( talk) 17:28, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

In May you blocked

Not sure the best way to handle that as any IP can claim to be someone, I've removed their comment to save there being any more drama but wasn't entirely sure if this should be taken to ANI, them being IBAN-blocked or this simply being ignored,

Thanks for trying; I think we all gave it our best (including Yamla with an exemplary response to a death curse, although actually I think the threat was aimed at Bish, but if we are all Bloodofox, as the user has apparently decided, then same difference). I talked to JzG but he wants the redirect to stay unchanged, which is a pity from my perspective but ... I suddenly have like 30 edits today, and I must stay below 100 to make some sort of gesture against WMF gloating, even though as to staying below 5, that ship's sailed. So I can't push too hard for restoring a separate page on the topic, let alone rewrite it. The one thing I think should be rev-deleted is that link the user has posted, which is an attempted outing. So anyway, thanks again, and I guess I have over 50 edits to spend fixing and making articles over the rest of the month, but I wish we could have brought that person round to helping and maybe apologizing to Bloodofox Yngvadottir ( talk) 22:45, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

A lot of people there know which editor the LTA obsesses over, and so I'm wondering whether the entire post should be rev-delled (though that might make one good-faith editor's response to that comment look a bit weird). --- Sluzzelin talk 20:09, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for making that change. It makes a lot of sense not to have that hyphen; once it was explained to me I developed quite a loathing for it. It's about ambiguity; a "well known man" generally needs a hyphen, as otherwise it could mean a "known man" who is also "well". With a "newly painted room", it's obvious that "newly" qualifies "painted", as a "newly room" makes no sense. So no ambiguity and no hyphen needed. But perhaps you knew that?

I think what you said is what I meant, but was perhaps I was too short?

Thanks for the edit. Regarding your edit summary — WP:BRINT's "Good reasons to bypass redirects" section concludes with Links on the Main Page. In my opinion, one reason to do this is to facilitate use of the pageviews counter: anything on the Main Page will get tons of hits, and if we link to a redirect for an entire day, someone looking at statistics will understandably be confused by the fact that the page got far fewer hits than is common for something linked from the Main Page.

You put the Cardinals page under full protection.

Hi, I'm probably going to be writing up an Arbitration committee report this month for The Signpost. Before I start, I found this and wondered if you had anything to say about the reasoning behind it. Seems a bit unusual and – well – uneven-handed.

I don't know about the others here, but I had a tag on my page for the whole year (2013 to 2014) that I was banned. I'm not an enemy of EC, but his page should be tagged as long as EC's banned. GoodDay ( talk) 04:29, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
I won't fight with an Arb, an Arb clerk responding to an Arb's request, or a CU readding the tag. I (an arb and CU) originally added the tags as a routine part of the ArbCom/CU block. So your reverting to and protecting the version before that is already overriding an arbitration/CU action. Like I say, if that's what you want to do it's fine by me, but let's call a spade a spade. – Joe ( talk) 21:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Floquenbeam, were these two reverts by Hijiri88 yesterday in the spirit of your earlier warnings to Hijiri88 and I? [2] [3] These reverts are the same as the previous [4], and I feel that it was too soon to revert yet again before a full discussion was complete. I believe he ignored the spirit of the warnings delivered by several editors to avoid making contentious reverts so soon. [5] [6] Martinthewriter ( talk) 22:19, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

It was a busy night on the ARS list. There was a minor edit war, with User ජපස reverting my addition to the rescue list twice: first, second. Next User ජපස tried to delete the whole project. Next the talk page. I decided to exit at this point.
Then Hijiri88 then became involved posting on my addition to the list which the editors were fussing over, here and here Due to my IBAN with Hijiri88, I understand we are not allowed to "feud" with one another, but is Hijiri88's involvement with my listing okay? Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long way of asking a question here. Lightburst ( talk) 15:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Kind of the same way you showed up at ARS for the first time in 4 months to make a seemingly innocuous comment on a section Lightburst started?I don't ARS very often (I find the process very frustrating -- I point out that someone is canvassing, then someone else shows up and tells me to **** off, rinse and repeat). But I monitor it constantly, and frequently show up on the AFDs linked from there. In this instance I actually wanted to comment on the AFD, but because you had told me you would block me for "battleground" behaviour if you saw me disputing with LB, and I was fairly certain LB would post something like the above if I became involved in any way, I stayed away. [7] Then I saw another editor, not LB, alter someone else's (also not LB) comment without explanation, and I didn't even revert that, but rather left a note inline explaining that it had happened. I have been monitoring ARS for well over a year (actually exactly as long as I've been monitoring the Mottainai article) and it could even be argued that LB followed me there (he became much more active on it after I filed a CCI on him; LB's showing up out of the blue on an article I have been involved in to !vote against me is clear disruptive hounding (he made it so the RFC couldn't be speedy-closed as the tendentious canvassing that it was).
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Thought you should know that Hijiri 88 will not drop the stick. He now refers to me in code, as one of the "Big four". If you read the thread there is no other conclusion to make. He is working hard in the Village Pump thread to get me topic banned or get someone else to file an ANI saying I should be site banned. Additionally here he is talking about my edits on SportingFlyer's talk page to get him fired up too. For my part I have avoided the editor. I am also not responding to his spurious attacks. It gets old and I am tired of collecting diffs, probably as tired as you are of looking at them. Lightburst ( talk) 15:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Floquenbeam I wouldn't mind getting an answer to Dream Focus' concerns about Hijiri88's IBAN violations. Hijiri88 has been following Dream Focus around, constantly criticizing him without mentioning his name. He criticizes him as being one of the "big four" [10]. He also followed Dream Focus to a deletion discussion and said, "It should probably also be noted that all (but one?) of the keep !votes are regular WP:ARS members who were canvassed on that page and showed up to block-vote" [11]. Hijiri88 also followed Dream Focus to another discussion to say "many (most?) of the people who are arguing with you (several of whom have a history of being blocked, warned, or having their edits revdelled, due to copyright violations)" [12]. Is it a violation of Hijiri88's IBAN for Hijiri88 to be stalking Dream Focus and casting aspersions on him without mentioning his name specifically? This is a point that is badly in need of clarification. Worldlywise ( talk) 01:50, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I recognized this edit as something that had frustratingly happened to me many times. To prevent this annoying situation, add the following to User:Floquenbeam/common.js:
// Prevent accidental submits
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input#wpSummary').keypress(function(e){
if(e.which==13) e.preventDefault();
});
});
This will prevent your edit from being submitted if you accidentally (or on purpose) hit the enter key in the edit summary. It will only be submitted upon hitting the "Publish changes" button. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:57, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

You're free to remove my post at AN, since you're an administrator. But, take it easy with the edit summary content. I've been around for over 14+ years on Wikipedia & I have a strong sense of when a 'new' editor is going to be a long-term problem.

Your edit summary ...and it's a bad look when someone on the other side of the arbcom case is the one to remove it. Does this apply to Ritchie333's change? Someone who gave evidence "...on the other side..." and which change significantly altered the page appearance (I did glance at it, before the removal). Why the differentiation? OK, with hindsight I could've commented it out, which would've given a prompt, point taken; I noticed something in situ which others may not have. What is the reason for your biased commentary?-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 04:10, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
I queried when the trainee clerk posted at 19:00-ish that Evidence was to close in 7 hours time; I am used to ebay machine time of 23:59:59, not + 2 extra hours. Moreover, the clerk got it wrong by a whole day, and had to be advised/self correct. I also commented on the generic, catch-all term User rights, meaning low-level tools dished out to anyone who requested them, as advised to me in early 2015, as distinct from administrator privileges which are determined after a formal sequence.
I noticed at RHaworth someone commented on BHG - I didn't know about it, but have collaborated with someone she just short-blocked, of which I was aware; I noticed Liz made some changes to BHG, but didn't look deeply. Now I will go through it, together with Fram, TRM as always intended, plus BuRob13(?), why not, writing this from memory, also re-acquaint myself with JYTdog. I have my own agenda; I curtailed contributing prose over the past two years through disillusionment although I'm still around much more than would be surmised by tallying the edits against the gaps.
Johnuniq I regret that you've concluded I'm here to poke a stick; I tried to be neutral at all times, including when I suggested RHaworth as file mover (en WP to Commons). Ritchie333 I could also suggest a programming project, but perhaps that would not go down well; I've tried three without fruit - 1. blocked, 2. responded but failed to follow up (I think not capable), 3. responded only by tps. I was interested to see some disquiet at RHaworth regarding broken closing-code, having been picked up for that myself recently.

Just in case full or some trimmed version is acceptable for mainspace, then we can perform a histmerge later. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. I feel sort of guilty/odd for pestering.

Just so you know, I done the reverts on the edits with disclaimer, however if I do come across more, what should I do? Should do what you mentioned on the ANI and hold full responsibility of the edit? -- Vauxford ( talk) 22:50, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
There is no LTA page for that vandal. I've considered one but also consider WP:DENY and am not sure which direction to go. There has been the occasional edit that clearly indicates bad faith, but on the whole the fixation on categories (while some of the past IPs have been used to introduce grammatical issues as well) is only marginally disruptive and a rather strange thing for someone to choose as a form of disruption. Would an LTA page be a good idea? -- Sable232 ( talk) 23:05, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Floq,
Since you have proposed to close the ANI thread concerning me, I'm reaching out to you for an independent assessment related to my argument/proposal having been struck in the subject MfD thread. Noting that my arguments in outstanding XfD discussions hadn't been struck and since there were at least 1-2 other editors who posted similar arguments after me, I'm just wondering if you can independently assess whether my argument can remain in that thread.
Thanks,
Doug M.

I was in the process of drafting a final statement for my talk page, but I'll keep this brief. I did express support for the proposed close, as written, but what was troubling me—and what kept me awake most of the night—was the proposed Wikipedia:/Wikipedia talk: namespace restriction that would follow the community-sanctioned four-month block. Ivanvector sums up my concern concisely in that it would preclude me from participating in XfD discussions, from closing XfD discussions, from nominating non-notable articles or problematic redirects created while patrolling as part of New Pages Patrol. Since Rosguill had previously encouraged me to be bold later this spring and draft a section on soft redirects to Wikimedia sister projects in the NPP WP:RPATROL guide for patrollers, this would also be precluded, as would WikiGnoming-type edits on the NPP pages (i.e., manually archiving closed WT:RWHITELIST requests after they've been closed for the stipulated timeframe, correction of minor errors, and so forth). Likewise, it would also preclude me from listing at WP:RMTR otherwise potentially controversial bold, but undiscussed page moves that should have had a full discussion, and it would preclude me from listing at WP:PM, and helping to complete, proposed article mergers in the applicable holding cell. So, I'm wondering if we could maybe have a community-mandated mentor that could provide me with the necessary guidance, and observe my general editing and behaviour patterns and briefly report in to WP:AN in 3-4 months following the lifting of the block for a lifting of the restrictions?

"This is very wordy." My reasoning for this was because I wanted to be clear about everything.
"...this seems more appropriate for Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies than this noticeboard." I thought about putting it there. I might have an edited version there.
"It's good manners to notify people if you're talking about them." I did not think about this at all. I'm sorry for not doing this.
"I'm concerned that you just happened to choose to talk about two of the most contentious arguments about infoboxes. How did you come to notice that these two articles did not have infoboxes?" I discovered Kubrick's article not having an infobox first, and I almost put one in, but then I saw the discussion/consensus notice. I looked through the archived talk pages on this. I just discovered that last night that Cary Grant's page did not have one after looking up his article while watching North By Northwest. This is the one that made me question Dr. Blofeld in the first place.
Overall, I'm sorry if I came off as an enemy.

Hi Floquenbeam, I'll not be available until tomorrow morning probably. I have no objection against you closing (and even deleting) the ANI section I started. I or anyone else can then start an ArbCom case, or (if this is better) mail the known facts to ArbCom so they can deal with it privately. I knew that something needed to be done, but had no idea what was the best course of action (and things only got worse at ANI so far, not better...). Fram ( talk) 16:18, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

I have had my posts repeatedly removed by an editor with whom I was in disagreement ... and who has claimed [14] that my restoration of the posts he removed and my posting in the same way as everyone else posts was "[taking] it out on the disadvantaged just to try to get at me".
This is just character assassination, trying to portray my normal editing as mounting some sort of revenge attack on RexxS, or -- an order of magnitude worse -- persecuting disabled people. I am utterly sickened by it all.

OK, I'm being too snippy. So to reword the underlying message: You guys have become trapped in an unhealthy feuding mindset. My outside perspective is that you're both in the wrong, to varying degrees. The best thing to do in situations like that is not to try to be vindicated, and not to ask/demand an iban, but to both simply walk away, and find a part of the project you enjoy working on. Other people are more than capable of monitoring the other editors' faults. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 17:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Floq,
For starters, I'll start by saying that I hope you've been doing well, and am sure COVID-19 has probably provided a lot of fodder for spirited discussion between editors. A lot has happened since early March, when we last interacted.
Anyway, as promised on my
talk page, I have a quick question regarding my
editing restriction, I have had
Draft:Erica C. Barnett and
Erica C. Barnett on my
watchlist since
the AfD that closed as
delete. While I was confined to my own user talk page, the draft was subsequently speedily deleted per
G13, and undeletion was requested by the draft's creator. At that point, it was moved back to main namespace,
boldly, with, arguably, little added changes to the article beyond one additional citation being added to reference the publication of her now-published autobiography.
Chetsford (as an aside, {{
noping}} is going to be my new 'go-to' template to use to tag someone, in order to avoid pinging, really, anyone) has, rightly, in my view, re-nominated for it for
AfD. I do have some additional comments that I'd like to make, and
the WMF xtools' page stats for
Erica C. Barnett does list as me as the #3 ranked editor (by total number of edits performed) and the #7 ranked editor (by added text/bytes), so was just wondering if I can add my comments, once, to that AfD on why it should be either deleted or redraftified. I was actually surprised to have ranked so highly, as most of my edits were in the addition of tags and fixing and adding citations/references. Would that be sufficiently broadly construed as "significant contributions" to allow me to participate in that AfD? I would, of course, limit my comments to one instance, and would seek either your or
Mazca's approval should I feel as though additional comments are needed in response to any added comments by other editors.
Thanks,

Hello, I notice that the description of cultural marxism on the Frankfurt school page is described as a conspiracy theory. As I'm sure you are aware philosophy as a rule is open to critisicm. The only criticism of the Frankfurt school is presented as a white supremacist conspiracy, which is undeniable biased. The efforts taken to particularly preserve this section, ie. Removing other users edits and locking the page to further edits is untenable. Further to that, I notice that the page for cultural marxism is also locked and redirects to the Frankfurt school section which calls it a conspiracy theory.
I take issue with this and see it as remarkably biased censorship on a topic that is necessarily open to discussion. What do you propose to do about this?
Thank you, I look forward to your reply. Katiedel0 ( talk) 20:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
I used to do PR work for Constance Jackson in the late 2000's and created the pages for her many films about the history of Civil Rights in the USA. So Ms. Jackson certainly gave her permission to use her copyrighted material, but I have no way to confirm that (you may want to contact her directly). Personally, I'm disappointed that anyone would intentionally search for and delete pages regarding civil rights and the plight of African Americans, but apparently that's in accordance with Wikipedia policy. Ms. Jackson's Wikipedia pages certainly aren't harming anyone, and I respectfully ask that they be left alone. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThroughTheWoods ( talk • contribs) 17:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@ Floquenbeam: we have a problem. See [17] and [18]. Horse Eye Jack ( talk) 17:46, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
@ Horse Eye Jack and CaradhrasAiguo: This was tricky, but based on the AN discussion (permalink) it probably counts as i-ban violation. I've reverted it. I believe it was inadvertent, because (a) it has only happened once, (b) it was not a full revrt, but a modification, and (c) it relates to an edit from February, which is admittedly hard to trace.
This is part of the reason i-bans are hard; it seems crazy to have to figure out the ultimate source of every piece of text you want to change. That's why many editors will disengage, before an i-ban is imposed, to avoid this headache.
This i-ban expires in a few days, on 9 July at 00:01 UTC. I'm still not clear if you both want to extend it or not, but I'm not sure a true i-ban is terribly workable in this particular case, with two prolific editors frequenting the same articles. If you both want an i-ban, let's say that if anything like this comes up in the future, you can ping me that the other person broke the i-ban, and if I agree I'll revert the edit. If it starts happening frequently, then I'll start to lose faith that they're inadvertent.
Please both of you, let me know what you want going forward. Both would need to agree for a 2-way i-ban to be imposed without community discussion. If you don't agree, then the next conflict will have to head to ANI, which as we all know is a crapshoot. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 17:01, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I'm being subject to stalking from a JoelB.Lewis, and request assistance.
Their editing history is here: [19]
1. On 12 July at 15.35 he prematurely closed a discussion I had opened on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard regarding Reliable Sources. [20]
He then proceeded the stalking.
2. On 12 July at 15.48, having clearly viewed my edit history, he then removed a page tag I had added on a completely unassociated topic.
3. On 13 July at 20.38, it having been restored, he reverts it again.
4. On 15 July, he again clearly reviews my edit history, and again begins stalking: firstly at at 13.01 on Banksy which I had just edited
5. On 15 July at 13.49, his next immediate edit is Pages for Deletion: Prince Louis Ferdinand on which I had commented.
6. Continuing the psychopathic behaviour, he then goes back to Dark Emu, and then has the temerity to post on my Talk page that I have been guilty of personal attacks. If you review what is a difficult discussion ('Disputed') with a separate emotive editor, you will see there is no personal attack.
Could you please caution this JoelB.Lewis (whose Talk Page ironically features a barnstar provided by a sockpuppet) to desist from stalking and harrassing other editors. Thanks so much. ClearBreeze ( talk) 17:28, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

In May you blocked

Not sure the best way to handle that as any IP can claim to be someone, I've removed their comment to save there being any more drama but wasn't entirely sure if this should be taken to ANI, them being IBAN-blocked or this simply being ignored,
