Fram, I was wondering whether you'd mind if I regularized the Talk:Kadmat Island and Talk:Kaunakes pages by putting your delisting comments onto a formal individual GA reassessment for each. This would also allow an Article History section to be started, which will link to the listing and delisting reviews. As it stands now, it's a bit of a mess. Thanks.

On 3 September 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Thomas Detry, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that golfer Thomas Detry broke the Challenge Tour record for largest winning margin with his 12-shot win at the 2016 Bridgestone Challenge? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Detry. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Thomas Detry), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/The Rambling Man.
Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/The Rambling Man/Evidence.
Please add your evidence by September 17, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/The Rambling Man/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

Hello, Fram. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

It has been suggested that we take our differences to Arbcom but I do not think that appropriate. It states there "The Arbitration Committee only deals with the most serious, entrenched, or persistent disputes and cases of rule-breaking, where all other reasonable means have failed" and I doubt we are anywhere near that. Anyway, it would be a distraction and a great waste of time when I would prefer to be building an encyclopedia.
I think you do a useful service at DYK but I don't like the way you treat other editors when you find errors. You have been sniping at me for some time on the DYK discussion page. I think some of your statements about me both inaccurate and exaggerated but I have chosen to react little until just over a week ago when I thought you treated MPJ-DK unfairly. My thread "Vanity" could be construed as being a personal attack on you, but your evidence to the TRM case predated that and I consider it was a personal attack on me.
So here is an offer. If you stop referring to me in a derogatory manner at the DYK discussion page and elsewhere, I will stop reciprocating. What do you think? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 14:04, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your attention to the sheaf of minor character articles, recently created. I was mulling over whether to create a giant multi-AFD for these, but I guess you're right to prod them first. The creator's clearly a fan of the series and editing in good faith, but they're mostly unreferenced, none of them notable enough per WP:GNG for a separate article, and should be redirects to a list-of-characters article at best. If it does go to AFD, I will support redirect. Wikishovel ( talk) 09:15, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Fram.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello. As you have doubts about my edits, I prefer from now that you edit the articles and not me, in order to not to say that I commit violations of any kind on articles. Also, I want to clarify that I did not start those articles about naturalized footballers, I just complemented them according to the information I manage. Regarding footballers from Equatorial Guinea, I only started articles of footballers of Equatoguinean descent, who are senior international players and who have nothing to hide. Right now, I'm seeing some articles with wrong information, i.e. Mariana da Silva Machado. There it says she was born in 1994. That's not true. My main reference is Federação Paulista de Futebol. It's not a social network, but a football federation from an important Brazilian state. They report she was born in 1989. Women's footballers listed in "M", currently registered is Sao Paulo State clubs (click on "Mariana da Silva Machado") I have another source, Diário da Região, an online newspaper from São José do Rio Preto. On 23 September 2015, its journalist Ozair Júnior wrote: "The dream of being at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games is close for midfielder Mariana da Silva Machado, 26 years old. Carioca (citizen from Rio de Janeiro), raised in Cidade de Deus, the player who since 2012 plays for Rio Preto, was naturalized by Equatorial Guinea and has just been called to defend the country's national team in the two decisive duels against South Africa, on October 3 and 18". Diário da Região news If Mariana were born in 1994, she would be 26 just in 2020, but we are in 2016 yet. I kindly ask you to consider these sources. I do not want to violate anything, but I also do not want any lies to go around on the articles. Thank you.-- MonFrontieres ( talk) 23:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
You have Mariana da Silva Machado, born 30/07/1989, in Brasil. And you have Mariana Isabel Machado Silva, born 24 February 1994, in EG. That one source linking the two isn't really sufficient, certainly not when a source like [7] lists her as "nationality:Brazilian". Considering the track record of the Equatorian Guineans, your investigative journalism may well be correct, but ultimately Wikipedia is not the place for investigative journalism, certainly not for such delicate things as accusing people of fraud. WP:BLPCRIME and the remainder of the BLP policy are very strict on this. Fram ( talk) 07:37, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

MonFrontieres (

15:54, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Well, as an Equatorial Guinea side, I found this
[9], but they talk about Mariana da Silva Machado, not Mariana Isabel Machado Silva. Then, on the CAF List of Players of Equatorial Guinea 2012 AWCN, they put that Mariana Isabel Machado Silva is a midfielder,
[10] which it is casually the same position as Mariana da Silva Machado.--
MonFrontieres (

16:01, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
When I say "presenting neutrally", I mean something like Name (born date X (source 1, 2) or date Y (source 3, 4) is a Brazilian(source 5) naturalized EG(source6) player... (sources 1-6 don't need to be all different, including the source that links the two is of course best here). The same goes if you want to include the two names. Don't add any commentary (indications that date X or Y is correct, or that something is done to mislead or whatever), just present the facts side by side, even if you personally believe one to be true and the other to be false.

Hi, I'm Gab4gab. Fram, thanks for creating Home Credit!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Current sources are not independent. Notability requires significant coverage by multiple sources that are completely independent of the subject. The sources used in the Czech article do seem to contain significant coverage that is independent.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Please leave articles where the infobox is working correctly alone instead of making them worse. Don't disrupt Wikipedia to make your point. Fram ( talk) 05:33, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for showing yet again that you are not interested in improving enwiki, but just in promoting the Wikidata infobox. You removed information from the infobox which had been in the article long before this edit war, and which was easily sourceable. You also just happened to only remove information from the infobox but not from the article, as if the same information is more problematic in an infobox than in an article. Or as if you only care about getting your infobox on the article, and not about the actual article itself. Stop it. Leave the article alone and go do some actual work improving either enwiki (here) or Wikidata (there). Fram ( talk) 13:29, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/tira_cómica,
https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/charge and
https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/cartón!
Including and principally, the certain is that the Wikipedia articles (described soon above!) should receive the following names in each idiom: Tira de banda desenhada, Charge and Cartum (desenho humorístico) - in Portuguese, Comic strip, Charge (humoristic drawing) and Cartoon - in English and Tira de historieta, Charge (dibujo humorístico) and Cartón (dibujo humorístico) - in Spanish!
Remembering and highlighting that the caricature has nothing to do with the other three because isn't a form of comic: is, simply, a humoristic exaggerated drawing of something or someone, be real or not, does not even have texts!
And well, as you can see, the cartoon isn't a type of comic strip, neither the charge is a type of cartoon, if possible, please, warn to your fellow editors to make the changes, very thanks since now for all attention and interest and a hug!

Fram, this was a poor block and I request that you undo it promptly. His last block was poor as well, and it's not appropriate for you to cite it as part of your rationale for blocking this time. You've chosen to make an example of Cassianto without considering the bigger picture and the other actors, as if his actions are isolated and not a byproduct of a large-scale disruption around infoboxes that involves lots of "civil incivility" and content creators being harangued all over the project.

Hello, Fram! I edit regularly from a dynamic IP but focus almost solely on Negro league baseball. I'm scratching my head right now over what to do about Memphis Red Sox. Where do I begin to see what happened if it was a copyright infringement and how do I go about to get it restored without the c/i? Even if it was a c/i, I'm sure I have edited it since its creation (it was created long before I came along), so I was wondering if I could see the parts that weren't c/i. How does this work at this point? Rgrds. -- 64.85.216.59 ( talk) 15:52, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Sources for the Pan American Games have been difficult to find so I've been removing those categories for most articles. Given the stringent sourcing expected for the SVG articles, what should I do in a case like Abel Driggs Santos? I didn't find a source to indicate that he won a medal, yet his name is included in the templates at the bottom of the article. The template doesn't have sources. I remember at least one other article like this that I edited, so it's not just a one-time instance. Thanks -- Tbennert ( talk) 17:15, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Fram, no kidding, but the number of people I've heard talking about you negatively, whether on here or by email, has increased dramatically in recent months. Now you've always monitored content and always strived for accuracy and identifying errors. That's fair enough. The problem is, you seem to live to pick holes in people's articles on wikipedia and seem to enjoy pushing others around. It wouldn't be so bad if you produced content yourself and got on with your own thing, but regularly checked and complained about the odd article. But your intentions are questionable, and I think you forget that contributors contribute for free and have their own feelings, which you obviously couldn't care less about. I suggest you back off a little, try to go back to producing content yourself and take it easy for a while. I'm convinced that if you don't it's only a matter of time before people try to get you apprehended on here as you're steadily building a big group of people who object to how you operate.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:34, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion This applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion. It excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content that has been moved to user space or converted to a draft for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy). This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a deletion review or that was deleted via proposed deletion or speedy deletion (although in that case the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).
The talk page made it clear that the article you deleted was not substantially identical to the previous deleted version. It is therefore not eligible for G4 and you need to restore it. The subject is clearly notable and the substantial coverage in the many reliable sources present make a nonsense of any argument that it does not meet GNG. -- RexxS ( talk) 15:16, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
"Page deletion is normally a last resort. If a dispute centers around a page's inclusion (e.g., because of questionable notability or where the subject has requested deletion), this is addressed via deletion discussions rather than by summary deletion. Summary deletion is appropriate when the page contains unsourced negative material or is written non-neutrally, and when this cannot readily be rewritten or restored to an earlier version of an acceptable standard. The deleting administrator should be prepared to explain the action to others, by e-mail if the material is sensitive."
I'll spend my time discussing this with genuinely interested editors capable of reading a policy until the end, instead of coincidentally stopping right before the relevant parts. "After the deletion, any administrator may choose to protect it against re-creation. Even if the page is not protected against re-creation, it should not be re-created unless a consensus is demonstrated in support of re-creation." Emphasis mine. Please don't post on my talk page again and only bother yourself with my edits if you are very certain that they are problematic. WP:BEFORE, just like WP:GNG is totally irrelevant here.

This is due for tomorrow. Do you want to pull the plug and wipe out all the drafts? It is just a question of running Twinkle's batch delete tool with User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/BLP 0 as input. That will delete all draft articles and draft redirects. If you are not comfortable with it, I will ask someone else to do the deed. But first I will ask user:JJMC89 to rerun his script to build a list of who moved what. I think it is best to do that before wiping out the drafts. I suggest that you and I can handle the audit, concentrating first on the high-volume article restorers. I will make separate lists of articles they restored, which can be annotated with problems found. A redlink, typically meaning the article was moved to mainspace than back to draft, counts as a problem. 10 articles per high-volume restorer should be enough to show up consistent lack of checking if it exists. If I think I have found a rogue editor I will ask you to confirm, and vice-versa, then the articles restored by that editor can be deleted from mainspace. Comments? Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:04, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
I fully understand – I thought you might be uncomfortable. But I would really appreciate your help on the audit. See User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/Audit notes#Working lists. The idea is to check a sample (10 or so) of articles moved by each high-volume editor and add a comment for any problems found – or not found. It should be extremely obvious where editors have been moving without checking, and then we just bulk-delete all the articles they moved back to mainspace. The point is not to find "serious errors" so much as to find unchecked moves. Aymatth2 ( talk) 13:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
@
MusikAnimal: May I ask you to please wipe out the remaining SvG drafts? The easiest way seems to be to run the Twinkle batch delete using
User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/BLP 0 as input. This will also delete draft redirects to mainspace, which I think is a good thing. I can't imagine that any mainspace articles use them, as in [[draft:John Doe|John Doe]]

Fram, I got a question--I would have asked Moonriddengirl, but that account doesn't seem so active anymore. Perhaps you or one of your talk page stalkers know this. I'm looking at a long list of manuscripts for a particular medieval text--when I say long, I mean really long. Besides the obvious question of what the point of listing it in an article would be (I'm not sure about that), can we borrow such a list? It will be impossible to paraphrase it; it could be abbreviated, by listing only numbers of manuscript in any particular location, but that takes away from any usefulness the list might have. I'd link the book via Google but I can't--I trust that you know what such a list looks like. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 17:00, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia can be a jungle of overlapping policies and guidelines with unexpected pitfalls, and it can also be very unfriendly. I admire your courage in trying to do a 180 student project as your first foray onto WP, it was brave... but, to be frank, it was not wise. The design you chose was always going to conflict with how Wikipedia operates, and I could point out how many of the problems could have been avoided. I would be willing to have the discussion in a sub-page of your user space, because I think what I would say is relevant to others and I prefer open communication... but I would also be willing to ask that other users not comment in the discussion, restricting their views / comments etc to the talk page. I would also be willing to include Ryan from WikiEd, if you like, and to delay it until after the assessment etc is dealt with (Ryan will be very busy until summer anyway).

Dear Fram: I have read your message about Raúl Ruiz Bautista article, it said “Unclear why he would be notable, anyone can self-publish a book and donate it to libraries”. I think you could have been a little partial in your judgement: • The article main reason is the Ixtapa-Tlacotepec road initiative and construction. Think that High Mixtec, Oaxaca State indigenous towns was living in the same poorness and isolation like colonial times at half twenty Century (1950). The Federal Mexican government and the Oaxaca State government not did nothing for these people. • Thanks to the Raúl’s initiative and unceasing works, the own indigenous peoples began to build the road, meanwhile Raúl got at Mexico Capital tools, materials, and in a moment budget for the construction that, developed in hard conditions, it endure three decades, but by this road, other advancements (step by step, clean water, health services, electricity, for instance) went to the High Mixtec named in that way, because it’s a very mountainous province. • Raúl wasn’t a writer at his studio. His book is not only an autobiography, it’s an eighty-year archive with documents about the road and the indigenous people and towns history through the XX Century. If you read the San Juan Achiutla article, in it said that the contemporary historical notes about this town and region, exist thanks to the Raúl´s book, because is a detailed set of records that what happened about this progress endeavor. That’s the cause the book subtitle refers a micro-history (in Mexico it is an history branch) At the same article said that at San Juan Achiutla doesn’t exist archive where research the town and people past. The same happen with other towns (you can review other Oaxaca towns articles to check it, from here the book’s social relevance, It’s a social memory too. (If you read Spanish or someone could do it for you, you can verify it, the book can be downloaded from external links) • The road wasn’t the Panama Chanel or Suez, not the Trans-Siberian railroad or San Francisco bridge, only a road that came to change poor indigenous towns and people life. Raúl wasn´t Lenin, Bolivar or Hamilton, but he worked free for his countrymen, he is micro-history part. • The same article is at Wikipedia in Spanish from July 14, 2011, It’s a translation. Fram, I will appreciate if you ponder your verdict, but if you take the delation decision, I’ll tray not have attachments about it. By other hand, as you notice English isn't my native language, please, if you wish, grade my English at the article from 1 to 10 to have an apraisal. It'll be useful for me. Thanks in advance.

I saw your talk page post here [20] and I have also come up wrong categoziations done by that editor and others of late. Let me ask a few questions before getting back to that.
I've been running across rampant miscategorization of late.

Could you look back in? I saw you mentioned this on BLPN in April, and we've got some PR flack turning the article back into hagiography. I discovered why at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive253#Daniel_Hayes he seemed to be getting younger all the time - the press release you uncovered is from 2011, consistent with the original 1985 birth date but not the 1989 one the flacks are pushing now. Pinkbeast ( talk) 05:20, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Fram the issue with the date of birth is now coming to our attention for the first time. We would like to fix it by deleting the date of birth completely from the page. As you can see this gentleman has been on Wikipedia since 2002 and has several media articles published about his work. We believe that there is a better way to get the issues resolved than the constant reverting for almost one year by PINKBEAST of every single edit that has been made on this page. Please advise how we can proceed to delete the date of birth we do not understand the trail of messages from PINKBEAST about promotional language the information used in the last edit come from valid sources including media articles and the IMDB bio. Thanks in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by NANGA ( talk • contribs) 07:28, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Following up with facts. The following two media articles about Daniel Hayes confirm that he is 28 years old based on the date of birth 1989 if Wikipedia still disagrees with his date of birth despite all the articles and references provided we would like to delete his date of birth and keep the rest of the accurate changes that have been made so there is no more issue. Whatever will please you let us know! The articles were listed in the references you deleted many times when you reverted the content http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/honey-badger-documentary-1.4040156 and http://en.rodexo.com/2017/03/25/mississauga-boxer-daniel-hayes-stars-in-award-winning-documentary-toronto/07:57, 26 June 2017 (UTC) NANGA ( talk)
Message to Fram - Based on the type comments we are reading we prefer to keep things tasteful and respectful by communicating with a Wikipedia Administrator on this matter. We are redoing the editing of the page without the date of birth which seems to be the main concern in order to comply with the notes received from Fram about the Wikipedia guidelines. We do not need to respond to someone calling our feedback to your request "junk" or making unfounded accusations about a falsified birth date. The legal term for these comments is slander but our goal here is to comply with the guidelines by redoing the edit. This type of verbal abuse has no place on Wikipedia.

Fram, a few months ago I said I needed to so some homework and get back to you.
Apologies for the delay. For a time there I didn't have anything to share, but now, a few things have happened and I thought it kind to reply.
First, a recent change to the mobile web version of Wikipedia now puts the infobox after the introduction paragraph. This change was mentioned as another approach to improving the readability of content on mobile during the Rfc. It has had some additional positive effects like improving performance.
Second, the Wikidata edits on watchlists concern has seen a significant update thanks to WMDE. Wikidata items associated with an article can be (optionally) enabled for the enhanced watchlist/recent changes view. (More info) It too was mentioned as a technical 'blocker' of sorts.
The Readers web team doesn't have any stated near-term plans for Wikidata descriptions. Structured data might make things easier on this front in the future. The Android app recently saw the feature of editing descriptions on mobile for a few languages.
In the mid to long distance I hear tell that there's some major work coming for mobile web in general. Draft documentation is on MediaWiki.org. Discussions around short descriptions will be part of that conversation. I have a bug in my ear to make sure. :) Again, sorry for the delay and let me know if you have any questions.

...of running for ArbCom? There are number of current Arbs who have shown themselves to be almost completely clueless (and somewhat tone deaf as well) by their recent actions and the opinions they have expressed. I don't always agree with you, but you appear to me to be a person who speaks their mind clearly and in a straight-forward manner, and who obviously knows their way around the project. You also seem to care about the encyclopedia, and about our purpose here being to build that encyclopedia, so that other ancillary activities should never take precedence over that primary one.
I don't know how many others would agree with me, but I'd certainly vote for you, were you to run. In any case, you've got half a year to think about it, if you haven't done so already. Best, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 03:56, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
I thought I might have been pushing it a bit far with this one, to be honest...I think what decided it for me was a.) the presence of a contemporary source and b.) the absolute paucity of anything being written about Italian women painters of that period.

Just FYI: I discontinue to contribute to WP:EN on topics of nobility because of the presence of Carolus. I have tried the last week to add value by correct false information, mostly introduced by him. Now that he starts reverting my corrections e.g. on the Belgian ducal family of Ursel because he reverts my corrections based on the most recent and reliable sources on this family with the reason that he can't verify them because for him " pushing your own vieuws away based on the Non-accessible EPN" [sic], there is no point in contributing anymore for me. On Belgian nobility the Etat présent de la noblesse belge (1960-2015) is the most notable and reliable source but he doesn't dispose of them (like I do) and thus he deletes/reverts my corrections. As I have said before, my library contains thousands of volumes on European nobility, he has almost nothing. (My reputation being knowledgeable on Dutch and Belgian nobility is well known and confirmed; on Dutch nobility I am even the main contributor on WP:NL, having added hundreds of articles on them, resulting after months of work in the List of Dutch noble families.) Now it is over for me here, also because I seem to be up for being blocked (although I admit I was not aware of the severe policy on edit wars here).

Hi Fram, reading at the Administrators' noticeboard/Incident page I came to the following content:
Just on the contrary, I implied Anglicized Indian usually have some personality flaw and does not get used to community-based systems very good. Feel free to call that racist, but against Anglicized Indians rather than against non-Anglicized Indians. I sincerely believe you have some flaws on understanding the world, thus when other tell some good thing about you you'll focus on the bad part. --146.96.252.3 (talk) 19:48, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
I enjoyed my interpretation as a cultural criticism of "Anglicized" ie: England being hierarchical, authoritarian, and "not get used to community-based systems".
Much to my surprise, that was followed by: IP blocked for 3 months (not longer as it is an IP) for that blatantly racist personal attack. Fram (talk) 06:07, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
This may be similar to criticizing the effect of French culture on people in Louisiana, not a racist topic. It might be enlightening to ask 146.96.252.3 whether they are criticizing the culture of "Anglicized Indians" or people of "Anglo-Indian" decent. Dougmcdonell ( talk) 22:39, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Fram. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

It has been suggested that we take our differences to Arbcom but I do not think that appropriate. It states there "The Arbitration Committee only deals with the most serious, entrenched, or persistent disputes and cases of rule-breaking, where all other reasonable means have failed" and I doubt we are anywhere near that. Anyway, it would be a distraction and a great waste of time when I would prefer to be building an encyclopedia.
I think you do a useful service at DYK but I don't like the way you treat other editors when you find errors. You have been sniping at me for some time on the DYK discussion page. I think some of your statements about me both inaccurate and exaggerated but I have chosen to react little until just over a week ago when I thought you treated MPJ-DK unfairly. My thread "Vanity" could be construed as being a personal attack on you, but your evidence to the TRM case predated that and I consider it was a personal attack on me.
So here is an offer. If you stop referring to me in a derogatory manner at the DYK discussion page and elsewhere, I will stop reciprocating. What do you think? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 14:04, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your attention to the sheaf of minor character articles, recently created. I was mulling over whether to create a giant multi-AFD for these, but I guess you're right to prod them first. The creator's clearly a fan of the series and editing in good faith, but they're mostly unreferenced, none of them notable enough per WP:GNG for a separate article, and should be redirects to a list-of-characters article at best.

Hi Fram.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello. As you have doubts about my edits, I prefer from now that you edit the articles and not me, in order to not to say that I commit violations of any kind on articles. Also, I want to clarify that I did not start those articles about naturalized footballers, I just complemented them according to the information I manage. Regarding footballers from Equatorial Guinea, I only started articles of footballers of Equatoguinean descent, who are senior international players and who have nothing to hide. Right now, I'm seeing some articles with wrong information, i.e. Mariana da Silva Machado. There it says she was born in 1994. That's not true. My main reference is Federação Paulista de Futebol. It's not a social network, but a football federation from an important Brazilian state. They report she was born in 1989. Women's footballers listed in "M", currently registered is Sao Paulo State clubs (click on "Mariana da Silva Machado") I have another source, Diário da Região, an online newspaper from São José do Rio Preto. On 23 September 2015, its journalist Ozair Júnior wrote: "The dream of being at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games is close for midfielder Mariana da Silva Machado, 26 years old. Carioca (citizen from Rio de Janeiro), raised in Cidade de Deus, the player who since 2012 plays for Rio Preto, was naturalized by Equatorial Guinea and has just been called to defend the country's national team in the two decisive duels against South Africa, on October 3 and 18".

You have Mariana da Silva Machado, born 30/07/1989, in Brasil. And you have Mariana Isabel Machado Silva, born 24 February 1994, in EG. That one source linking the two isn't really sufficient, certainly not when a source like [7] lists her as "nationality:Brazilian". Considering the track record of the Equatorian Guineans, your investigative journalism may well be correct, but ultimately Wikipedia is not the place for investigative journalism, certainly not for such delicate things as accusing people of fraud. WP:BLPCRIME and the remainder of the BLP policy are very strict on this. Fram ( talk) 07:37, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, as an Equatorial Guinea side, I found this
[9], but they talk about Mariana da Silva Machado, not Mariana Isabel Machado Silva. Then, on the CAF List of Players of Equatorial Guinea 2012 AWCN, they put that Mariana Isabel Machado Silva is a midfielder,
[10] which it is casually the same position as Mariana da Silva Machado.--

When I say "presenting neutrally", I mean something like Name (born date X (source 1, 2) or date Y (source 3, 4) is a Brazilian(source 5) naturalized EG(source6) player... (sources 1-6 don't need to be all different, including the source that links the two is of course best here). The same goes if you want to include the two names. Don't add any commentary (indications that date X or Y is correct, or that something is done to mislead or whatever), just present the facts side by side, even if you personally believe one to be true and the other to be false.

We seem often to be in disagreement but have a common objective - we both seek to improve Wikipedia, and it would be much better if we worked in harmony rather than enmity.

Hi, I'm Gab4gab. Fram, thanks for creating Home Credit!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Current sources are not independent. Notability requires significant coverage by multiple sources that are completely independent of the subject. The sources used in the Czech article do seem to contain significant coverage that is independent.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

I have put it back in as part of my fiddling with the template qualifiers, I have no real lasting opinion on it being there, so if you want to remove it I wont argue (actually I will go edit my link to be a perm diff anyway).

At John S.

Please leave articles where the infobox is working correctly alone instead of making them worse. Don't disrupt Wikipedia to make your point. Fram ( talk) 05:33, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for showing yet again that you are not interested in improving enwiki, but just in promoting the Wikidata infobox. You removed information from the infobox which had been in the article long before this edit war, and which was easily sourceable. You also just happened to only remove information from the infobox but not from the article, as if the same information is more problematic in an infobox than in an article. Or as if you only care about getting your infobox on the article, and not about the actual article itself. Stop it. Leave the article alone and go do some actual work improving either enwiki (here) or Wikidata (there). Fram ( talk) 13:29, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/charge and
https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/cartón!
Including and principally, the certain is that the Wikipedia articles (described soon above!) should receive the following names in each idiom: Tira de banda desenhada, Charge and Cartum (desenho humorístico) - in Portuguese, Comic strip, Charge (humoristic drawing) and Cartoon - in English and Tira de historieta, Charge (dibujo humorístico) and Cartón (dibujo humorístico) - in Spanish!
Remembering and highlighting that the caricature has nothing to do with the other three because isn't a form of comic: is, simply, a humoristic exaggerated drawing of something or someone, be real or not, does not even have texts!
And well, as you can see, the cartoon isn't a type of comic strip, neither the charge is a type of cartoon, if possible, please, warn to your fellow editors to make the changes, very thanks since now for all attention and interest and a hug!

Fram, this was a poor block and I request that you undo it promptly. His last block was poor as well, and it's not appropriate for you to cite it as part of your rationale for blocking this time. You've chosen to make an example of Cassianto without considering the bigger picture and the other actors, as if his actions are isolated and not a byproduct of a large-scale disruption around infoboxes that involves lots of "civil incivility" and content creators being harangued all over the project. This is the same thing that happened with his last block, and why it was undone—it's akin to walking onto a battlefield and deciding to arrest a single person because they fired a shot at someone. -- Laser brain (talk) 14:52, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Fram, no kidding, but the number of people I've heard talking about you negatively, whether on here or by email, has increased dramatically in recent months. Now you've always monitored content and always strived for accuracy and identifying errors. That's fair enough. The problem is, you seem to live to pick holes in people's articles on wikipedia and seem to enjoy pushing others around. It wouldn't be so bad if you produced content yourself and got on with your own thing, but regularly checked and complained about the odd article. But your intentions are questionable, and I think you forget that contributors contribute for free and have their own feelings, which you obviously couldn't care less about. I suggest you back off a little, try to go back to producing content yourself and take it easy for a while. I'm convinced that if you don't it's only a matter of time before people try to get you apprehended on here as you're steadily building a big group of people who object to how you operate.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:34, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion This applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion. It excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content that has been moved to user space or converted to a draft for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy). This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a deletion review or that was deleted via proposed deletion or speedy deletion (although in that case the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).
The talk page made it clear that the article you deleted was not substantially identical to the previous deleted version. It is therefore not eligible for G4 and you need to restore it. The subject is clearly notable and the substantial coverage in the many reliable sources present make a nonsense of any argument that it does not meet GNG. -- RexxS ( talk) 15:16, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
"Page deletion is normally a last resort. If a dispute centers around a page's inclusion (e.g., because of questionable notability or where the subject has requested deletion), this is addressed via deletion discussions rather than by summary deletion. Summary deletion is appropriate when the page contains unsourced negative material or is written non-neutrally, and when this cannot readily be rewritten or restored to an earlier version of an acceptable standard. The deleting administrator should be prepared to explain the action to others, by e-mail if the material is sensitive."
I'll spend my time discussing this with genuinely interested editors capable of reading a policy until the end, instead of coincidentally stopping right before the relevant parts. "After the deletion, any administrator may choose to protect it against re-creation. Even if the page is not protected against re-creation, it should not be re-created unless a consensus is demonstrated in support of re-creation." Emphasis mine. Please don't post on my talk page again and only bother yourself with my edits if you are very certain that they are problematic. WP:BEFORE, just like WP:GNG is totally irrelevant here.

This is due for tomorrow. Do you want to pull the plug and wipe out all the drafts? It is just a question of running Twinkle's batch delete tool with User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/BLP 0 as input. That will delete all draft articles and draft redirects. If you are not comfortable with it, I will ask someone else to do the deed. But first I will ask user:JJMC89 to rerun his script to build a list of who moved what. I think it is best to do that before wiping out the drafts. I suggest that you and I can handle the audit, concentrating first on the high-volume article restorers. I will make separate lists of articles they restored, which can be annotated with problems found. A redlink, typically meaning the article was moved to mainspace than back to draft, counts as a problem. 10 articles per high-volume restorer should be enough to show up consistent lack of checking if it exists. If I think I have found a rogue editor I will ask you to confirm, and vice-versa, then the articles restored by that editor can be deleted from mainspace. Comments? Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:04, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
I fully understand – I thought you might be uncomfortable. But I would really appreciate your help on the audit. See User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/Audit notes#Working lists. The idea is to check a sample (10 or so) of articles moved by each high-volume editor and add a comment for any problems found – or not found. It should be extremely obvious where editors have been moving without checking, and then we just bulk-delete all the articles they moved back to mainspace. The point is not to find "serious errors" so much as to find unchecked moves. Aymatth2 ( talk) 13:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
@

Besides the obvious question of what the point of listing it in an article would be (I'm not sure about that), can we borrow such a list? It will be impossible to paraphrase it; it could be abbreviated, by listing only numbers of manuscript in any particular location, but that takes away from any usefulness the list might have. I'd link the book via Google but I can't--I trust that you know what such a list looks like. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 17:00, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Even the sole source that you rely on for all your articles, i.e. Bryan, calls this artist Jan Baptist Barbe, so don't understand why you insist on giving this Flemish artist a French name. RKD also give him his proper Flemish name. Unlike you, I have done extensive research for this article and the majority of sources use the Flemish name. Please revert this back to its proper title. 2A02A03F ( talk) 09:01, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
About this note... I was grateful that you stepped up and did the close, but I was a little bummed that you didn't try to craft something that would allow the much-discussed follow-up discussion between EdChem and EJustice on EJustice's talk page. And your note makes it clear that you intend to enforce the indef strictly. Would you please review the AN thread and consider some flexibility to allow EJustice to participate in the review at their Talk page? You will see there was substantial support for that discussion to happen. (I am not optimistic that EJustice will learn anything and their initial response to EdChem made me even less optimistic..... but trying is good) Jytdog ( talk) 08:44, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia can be a jungle of overlapping policies and guidelines with unexpected pitfalls, and it can also be very unfriendly. I admire your courage in trying to do a 180 student project as your first foray onto WP, it was brave... but, to be frank, it was not wise. The design you chose was always going to conflict with how Wikipedia operates, and I could point out how many of the problems could have been avoided. I would be willing to have the discussion in a sub-page of your user space, because I think what I would say is relevant to others and I prefer open communication... but I would also be willing to ask that other users not comment in the discussion, restricting their views / comments etc to the talk page. I would also be willing to include Ryan from WikiEd, if you like, and to delay it until after the assessment etc is dealt with (Ryan will be very busy until summer anyway). Please let me know what you think..

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cour is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cour until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sandstein 20:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

I saw that you prodded a bunch of Challenger doubles tournaments with the reasoning that they are not notable. According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines#Tournament, any men's Challenger tournament is notable, including singles and doubles events. Only qualification tournaments are not notable. You can go back all the way to the 2009 version of the Challenger Tour and see that there is an article for pretty much every single doubles tournament since then. I don't believe that these articles should be deleted. Adamtt9 ( talk) 02:56, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

I haven't been following the Carolus discussion, but I notice you've been trying to work with them to try to get their sourcing up to snuff. If you come across any Catholic clerics, would you mind pinging me or posting on my talk page? I'm relatively good at getting bishops from non-English speaking regions up to be at least a somewhat presentable stub that complies with NPOV, V, and copyright policy, and the only way I normally come across them is through the new pages feed.

Dear Fram: I have read your message about Raúl Ruiz Bautista article, it said “Unclear why he would be notable, anyone can self-publish a book and donate it to libraries”. I think you could have been a little partial in your judgement: • The article main reason is the Ixtapa-Tlacotepec road initiative and construction. Think that High Mixtec, Oaxaca State indigenous towns was living in the same poorness and isolation like colonial times at half twenty Century (1950). The Federal Mexican government and the Oaxaca State government not did nothing for these people. • Thanks to the Raúl’s initiative and unceasing works, the own indigenous peoples began to build the road, meanwhile Raúl got at Mexico Capital tools, materials, and in a moment budget for the construction that, developed in hard conditions, it endure three decades, but by this road, other advancements (step by step, clean water, health services, electricity, for instance) went to the High Mixtec named in that way, because it’s a very mountainous province. • Raúl wasn’t a writer at his studio. His book is not only an autobiography, it’s an eighty-year archive with documents about the road and the indigenous people and towns history through the XX Century. If you read the San Juan Achiutla article, in it said that the contemporary historical notes about this town and region, exist thanks to the Raúl´s book, because is a detailed set of records that what happened about this progress endeavor. That’s the cause the book subtitle refers a micro-history (in Mexico it is an history branch) At the same article said that at San Juan Achiutla doesn’t exist archive where research the town and people past. The same happen with other towns (you can review other Oaxaca towns articles to check it, from here the book’s social relevance, It’s a social memory too. (If you read Spanish or someone could do it for you, you can verify it, the book can be downloaded from external links) • The road wasn’t the Panama Chanel or Suez, not the Trans-Siberian railroad or San Francisco bridge, only a road that came to change poor indigenous towns and people life. Raúl wasn´t Lenin, Bolivar or Hamilton, but he worked free for his countrymen, he is micro-history part. • The same article is at Wikipedia in Spanish from July 14, 2011, It’s a translation. Fram, I will appreciate if you ponder your verdict, but if you take the delation decision, I’ll tray not have attachments about it. By other hand, as you notice English isn't my native language, please, if you wish, grade my English at the article from 1 to 10 to have an apraisal. It'll be useful for me. Thanks in advance.

I saw your talk page post here [20] and I have also come up wrong categoziations done by that editor and others of late. Let me ask a few questions before getting back to that.
I've been running across rampant miscategorization of late. Editor Look2See1 has done some of it, like categorizing minor league team baseball player categories into Sportspeople from and putting Shopping Mall established categories in retail companies categories or Musical groups disestablishments in arts organizations disestablishment categories for examples, plus other editor subcategorize restaurant categories as retail. FYI I am fixing up the design categories you brought to Look2See's attention. I may be wrong, but I don't think this editor is interested in fixing his mistakes. Write back to me here with your thoughts. I'll keep an eye out for your reply though my reply might be slow.

Could you look back in? I saw you mentioned this on BLPN in April, and we've got some PR flack turning the article back into hagiography. I discovered why at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive253#Daniel_Hayes he seemed to be getting younger all the time - the press release you uncovered is from 2011, consistent with the original 1985 birth date but not the 1989 one the flacks are pushing now. Pinkbeast ( talk) 05:20, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Fram the issue with the date of birth is now coming to our attention for the first time. We would like to fix it by deleting the date of birth completely from the page. As you can see this gentleman has been on Wikipedia since 2002 and has several media articles published about his work. We believe that there is a better way to get the issues resolved than the constant reverting for almost one year by PINKBEAST of every single edit that has been made on this page. Please advise how we can proceed to delete the date of birth we do not understand the trail of messages from PINKBEAST about promotional language the information used in the last edit come from valid sources including media articles and the IMDB bio. Thanks in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by NANGA ( talk • contribs) 07:28, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Following up with facts. The following two media articles about Daniel Hayes confirm that he is 28 years old based on the date of birth 1989 if Wikipedia still disagrees with his date of birth despite all the articles and references provided we would like to delete his date of birth and keep the rest of the accurate changes that have been made so there is no more issue. Whatever will please you let us know! The articles were listed in the references you deleted many times when you reverted the content http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/honey-badger-documentary-1.4040156 and http://en.rodexo.com/2017/03/25/mississauga-boxer-daniel-hayes-stars-in-award-winning-documentary-toronto/07:57, 26 June 2017 (UTC) NANGA ( talk)
Message to Fram - Based on the type comments we are reading we prefer to keep things tasteful and respectful by communicating with a Wikipedia Administrator on this matter. We are redoing the editing of the page without the date of birth which seems to be the main concern in order to comply with the notes received from Fram about the Wikipedia guidelines. We do not need to respond to someone calling our feedback to your request "junk" or making unfounded accusations about a falsified birth date. The legal term for these comments is slander but our goal here is to comply with the guidelines by redoing the edit. This type of verbal abuse has no place on Wikipedia.

I have moved your and Drmies comments inside the hat at AN as its really not going to go anywhere now Broeder has been rebanned by the community.

Fram, a few months ago I said I needed to so some homework and get back to you.
Apologies for the delay. For a time there I didn't have anything to share, but now, a few things have happened and I thought it kind to reply.
First, a recent change to the mobile web version of Wikipedia now puts the infobox after the introduction paragraph. This change was mentioned as another approach to improving the readability of content on mobile during the Rfc. It has had some additional positive effects like improving performance.
Second, the Wikidata edits on watchlists concern has seen a significant update thanks to WMDE. Wikidata items associated with an article can be (optionally) enabled for the enhanced watchlist/recent changes view. (More info) It too was mentioned as a technical 'blocker' of sorts.
The Readers web team doesn't have any stated near-term plans for Wikidata descriptions. Structured data might make things easier on this front in the future. The Android app recently saw the feature of editing descriptions on mobile for a few languages.
In the mid to long distance I hear tell that there's some major work coming for mobile web in general. Draft documentation is on MediaWiki.org. Discussions around short descriptions will be part of that conversation. I have a bug in my ear to make sure. :) Again, sorry for the delay and let me know if you have any questions. CKoerner (WMF) ( talk) 17:26, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
...of running for ArbCom? There are number of current Arbs who have shown themselves to be almost completely clueless (and somewhat tone deaf as well) by their recent actions and the opinions they have expressed. I don't always agree with you, but you appear to me to be a person who speaks their mind clearly and in a straight-forward manner, and who obviously knows their way around the project. You also seem to care about the encyclopedia, and about our purpose here being to build that encyclopedia, so that other ancillary activities should never take precedence over that primary one.
I don't know how many others would agree with me, but I'd certainly vote for you, were you to run. In any case, you've got half a year to think about it, if you haven't done so already. Best, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 03:56, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
I thought I might have been pushing it a bit far with this one, to be honest...I think what decided it for me was a.) the presence of a contemporary source and b.) the absolute paucity of anything being written about Italian women painters of that period.

Just FYI: I discontinue to contribute to WP:EN on topics of nobility because of the presence of Carolus. I have tried the last week to add value by correct false information, mostly introduced by him. Now that he starts reverting my corrections e.g. on the Belgian ducal family of Ursel because he reverts my corrections based on the most recent and reliable sources on this family with the reason that he can't verify them because for him " pushing your own vieuws away based on the Non-accessible EPN" [sic], there is no point in contributing anymore for me. On Belgian nobility the Etat présent de la noblesse belge (1960-2015) is the most notable and reliable source but he doesn't dispose of them (like I do) and thus he deletes/reverts my corrections. As I have said before, my library contains thousands of volumes on European nobility, he has almost nothing. (My reputation being knowledgeable on Dutch and Belgian nobility is well known and confirmed; on Dutch nobility I am even the main contributor on WP:NL, having added hundreds of articles on them, resulting after months of work in the List of Dutch noble families.) Now it is over for me here, also because I seem to be up for being blocked (although I admit I was not aware of the severe policy on edit wars here).

Hi Fram, reading at the Administrators' noticeboard/Incident page I came to the following content:
Just on the contrary, I implied Anglicized Indian usually have some personality flaw and does not get used to community-based systems very good. Feel free to call that racist, but against Anglicized Indians rather than against non-Anglicized Indians. I sincerely believe you have some flaws on understanding the world, thus when other tell some good thing about you you'll focus on the bad part. --146.96.252.3 (talk) 19:48, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
I enjoyed my interpretation as a cultural criticism of "Anglicized" ie: England being hierarchical, authoritarian, and "not get used to community-based systems".
Much to my surprise, that was followed by: IP blocked for 3 months (not longer as it is an IP) for that blatantly racist personal attack. Fram (talk) 06:07, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
This may be similar to criticizing the effect of French culture on people in Louisiana, not a racist topic.
