This is to let you know that the Anglo-Scottish war (1650–1652) article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 22, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 22, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:13, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Me? Pah!
Hi, I'm Anuran, and I've been looking on my chat. it seems that I've made a mistake. I can't edit articles without a source meaning that even if I am true, I must bring a reference for my edit no matter what like Arthropleura is a herbivore... ( https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08912963.2019.1675055) for my backup. So yes, I see my mistake and I hope it eases you. Have a good day.
Hello Girth Summit! It's been a long time and I hope all is well with you! I received a call from an actress and producer named Mycole Metcalf because her long-standing Wikipedia page has Disappeared without reason. I'm wondering if you can take a look at it to see what happened and if it can be restored. Thank you Girth Summit, and please let me know. - Glenn Glenn Francis ( talk) 22:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I just discovered that I've been blocked for "Disruptively adding findagrave pages." I ceased doing that as soon as I was asked to, but I never thought of it as disruptive. Some biographies on Wikipedia have findagrave links and some don't; I thought I was being helpful, completing incomplete pages. In any case, I apologise for having overstepped.
I was also blocked because I haven't responded to questions directed to me, but I don't recall ever seeing any, so my question is: Where do they appear?
Incidentally, I am writing today because I wanted to correct information about actor Ronald Colman (1891-1958). The name of his first wife does not agree with the name in his obituary in Variety (21 May 1958, p. 79<ref> https://archive.org/details/variety210-1958-05/page/n224/mode/1up?view=theater&q=obituary<ref>): His first wife was English actress "Thelma Victoria Maud, whom he married in 1918. They were divorced in 1936." The Wikipedia page identifies his wife as "Thelma Raye," which was one of her many surnames <ref> https://footlightnotes.tumblr.com/post/42172461451/thelma-raye-n%C3%A9e-thelma-victoria-maud-bell-morton<ref>, but not her maiden name. Since I'm blocked, a punishment I shall have to learn to live with, perhaps you want to consider the correction.

Hello, Girth Summit,
I just deleted some draft pages and blocked a couple of users who were creating pages about Abdur Rahman, a YouTuber, but I don't remember the exact name of the SPI case. There also seemed to be some overlap in participation of editors identified as sockpuppets in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Julian Lawrence Hall which you handled a few days ago. I just like to report these incidents to a checkuser who is involved in SPI cases in case some reporting needs to be done. Liz Read! Talk! 06:35, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello GirthSummit, hope you're doing well. As you were the clerk and enforcing admin of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Solavirum/Archive#11_May_2022, I wanted to inform you that Solavirum is still using his sock IP range even after their sockpuppetry ban ( diff).

Not sure if it's worth a new request given the one that was just closed, but they already seem to be back at 64ZooLaneFan22: similar username styling/format and even same editing on Little Charley Bear (see [3] vs. [4]). Personally I don't see a reason to request this in the SPI, especially given how obvious it is with that evidence. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa ( talk) 08:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Girth Summit,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up
here.
Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13646 articles, as of 14:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

There is something going on that I thought an admin might be able to help with. A new user left what was clearly a disgruntled Yelp review on the Lastminute.com page but a recently created account 'LM Corporate' removed. I would say both of these users should be prevented from editing further but I wasn't sure who to warn first...any help you might have would be very appreciated.

User:Ilovehistory16, whose account was created on June 28, claims on their userpage (the Good Article icon) that they helped bring an article to Good Article status back in October 2021. They also claim that they live in Germany - I just blocked an IP range they are using, which geolocates to Virginia (see Special:contributions/2600:1702:3233:a30::/64). Meanwhile they have been creating a fair amount of disruption creating new articles, new drafts, articles-forced-into-drafts, and submitting drafts created by other users for review (I see no pattern to the submissions in terms of a connection between the user and the authors of the drafts). They also copied User:Ilenekrall/sandbox to Draft:Monte Belo Condominiums. Ilenekrall created the sandbox back in 2017 and has done nothing else with that account. I've come close to blocking them for disruption, but I'd like to know if they are a sock first. Of course, any evidence that they are a sock may be too old, but I think there's enough here to warrant a check.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:09, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
naming for the oldest account with edits I detected. Not sure what you mean by that. The oldest account is R1322. Do you mean that you couldn't see ("detect") the edits made in January because the account is stale but were only able to confirm through login data?

Hi Girth Summit, I have a question about your closing statement, The result was nomination withdrawn. The nom has withdrawn their nomination, and there are no outstanding delete !votes
, because I thought my !vote for a redirect is essentially a !vote to delete. I would have more clearly !voted to delete if I did not think there was article history worth preserving - from my view, the article has potential. But per the
Common outcomes section of the Deletion process page, I was trying to state that currently, the page has no unique and usable content, but information about the topic is found in another article.

Thank you today for that one, introduced: "Another joint venture from the itinerant repeat nominator Gog the Mild and the Scottish history expert Girth Summit. Charles I was king of England and Scotland, as two entirely separate matters. When the English chopped his head off they didn't consult the Scots. So when the Scots crowned Charles II it was as king of Britain (not Scotland). Which, with massive understatement, could be described as a provocation. In short order Oliver Cromwell was leading an English army across the border. The campaign was hard fought, but ended with the whole of Scotland subjugated. OK, in some ways it ended with Charles and the Scots' army going down to defeat in Worcester. Which part of Scotland is Worcester in, you ask? Read the article.

Greetings @ Girth Summit,
There is some credibly sourced content added by me to the article
Tourism in Pakistan. In last moth end part of it got deleted first then contested by a user and subsequently that user was proved to be sock. The sock user had added talk page message to contest the content, by the time I partially prepared reply in my sandbox, other users seems to have realized that it was a sock account and content was restored and their talk page message was reverted (by your edit dif 1101324993) , so I had no hurry to post my reply. (Almost immediately after sock edits were reverted, another user entered the scene to delete the next sourced content section added by me so my priority changed towards thinking over discussion for the same, which still I have not written and opened. Personally I make point to not engage in any content edit wars or personalizing disputes from my end and limit myself to talk page content dispute resolution mechanisms).
While I could not find time to open discussions @ the article talk page a new user account opened up
User:ImmortalTruthIII (
contribs) directly entered my sandbox to engage in discussion with attitude of
whataboutism and personal aspersions. Idk if they are same sock account, but IMHO other users are less likely to keep track of my sandbox which is named very unrelated. Idk what are sock related identity and processes. I have kept good faith from my side. Posted reference sources shared by them @
Talk:Rape in India#A note and called upon users @
India notice board for India related articles improvement vis a vis discrimination against women in India. And there after replied the new user account @ their talk page
User talk:ImmortalTruthIII#Your discussion. My reply @ their talk page speaks for itself so I would not repeat that here.
I do not know if discussed account is sock or not and what are observation and sock control processes. While replying that account in good faith, as responsible member of WP community I wish to keep you informed of the developments, so you can guide me, if needed. This is for your information.
Thanks and warm regards.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2022).
Hello Girth Summit,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
{{subst:NPR invite}}on their talk page.

PDXBart's first edit was to nominate VersaLogic for deletion. After that he nominated many other articles for deletion and voted in others. There's also this very odd deleted edit at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kbabej, a user who Welcomed them, ostensibly because of their interest in Oregon articles (Kbabej was unblocked several years ago after I CU-blocked them - I didn't even realize there might be a connection until I started writing this). The user's edit summaries are not that of a new user.
What brought the user to my attention initially, was none of the above. It was a multiple speedy tagging of an article that I reverted and for which I warned the user. I also asked them about other accounts. Their reaction was, uh, not optimal. See their Talk page. What do you think?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:15, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Hey Girth, can you take a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Metaverse Yadav - I don't think a CU is needed but it's a little time sensitive cause I'd like to stop the disruption via page hijack that has happened yet again (and before Google indexes it.) They're obvious ducks. PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:24, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Girthsummit! I noticed the note on the SPI case I filed, and kind of wanted to explain my rationale for filing it. I looked at the contributions for Communicationstmathews, and saw that most of the edits they made were redacted. When the new account was created, their edits were identical (me and one other user reverted them, so I saw the edits yesterday before they were deleted.) My thought process was that this new account was evading a block and making the exact same edits that were permanently deleted the day prior for whatever reason. My fault was not checking the talk page to see what kind of block was made (soft or hard,) but I only saw the contributions page and noticed the block. Just wanted to explain my thought process so it didn't seem like I was filing the case in bad faith, which is something I really do try hard to avoid. I do appreciate the feedback though and will keep all of this in mind moving forward. Thanks! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 14:42, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Girth Summit - Sorry to trouble you with this. A new editor has recently tagged some 40 articles, some of which I have written, with notability tags. While the editor may well have a point that these articles can be improved, these articles are about large listed companies (constituents of the FTSE 250 index mainly). The new editor seems very familiar with our guidelines (see User talk:Dormskirk#Notability of investment trusts) so I suspect they are not really that that new to wikipedia. Thoughts welcome. Best wishes. Dormskirk ( talk) 08:22, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Me? Pah!
Hi, I'm Anuran, and I've been looking on my chat. it seems that I've made a mistake. I can't edit articles without a source meaning that even if I am true, I must bring a reference for my edit no matter what like Arthropleura is a herbivore... ( https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08912963.2019.1675055) for my backup. So yes, I see my mistake and I hope it eases you. Have a good day.
Hello Girth Summit! It's been a long time and I hope all is well with you! I received a call from an actress and producer named Mycole Metcalf because her long-standing Wikipedia page has Disappeared without reason. I'm wondering if you can take a look at it to see what happened and if it can be restored. Thank you Girth Summit, and please let me know. - Glenn Glenn Francis ( talk) 22:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I just discovered that I've been blocked for "Disruptively adding findagrave pages." I ceased doing that as soon as I was asked to, but I never thought of it as disruptive. Some biographies on Wikipedia have findagrave links and some don't; I thought I was being helpful, completing incomplete pages. In any case, I apologise for having overstepped.
I was also blocked because I haven't responded to questions directed to me, but I don't recall ever seeing any, so my question is: Where do they appear?
Incidentally, I am writing today because I wanted to correct information about actor Ronald Colman (1891-1958). The name of his first wife does not agree with the name in his obituary in Variety (21 May 1958, p. 79<ref> https://archive.org/details/variety210-1958-05/page/n224/mode/1up?view=theater&q=obituary<ref>): His first wife was English actress "Thelma Victoria Maud, whom he married in 1918. They were divorced in 1936." The Wikipedia page identifies his wife as "Thelma Raye," which was one of her many surnames <ref> https://footlightnotes.tumblr.com/post/42172461451/thelma-raye-n%C3%A9e-thelma-victoria-maud-bell-morton<ref>, but not her maiden name. Since I'm blocked, a punishment I shall have to learn to live with, perhaps you want to consider the correction.

Hi. I wish to be an administrator and check user. I always edit regularly and I won't block the wrong user. If I'm a check user, I will not assume that someone is a sockpuppet.Thanks Train and unicorn fan🦄🚆 talk 09:16, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Girth Summit,
I just deleted some draft pages and blocked a couple of users who were creating pages about Abdur Rahman, a YouTuber, but I don't remember the exact name of the SPI case. There also seemed to be some overlap in participation of editors identified as sockpuppets in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Julian Lawrence Hall which you handled a few days ago. I just like to report these incidents to a checkuser who is involved in SPI cases in case some reporting needs to be done. Liz Read! Talk! 06:35, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello GirthSummit, hope you're doing well. As you were the clerk and enforcing admin of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Solavirum/Archive#11_May_2022, I wanted to inform you that Solavirum is still using his sock IP range even after their sockpuppetry ban ( diff).

I'm new to this sockpuppet investigations thing, so could you please help me be a better evidence finder? What do I need to do? NASCARfan0548 ↗ 17:40, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Not sure if it's worth a new request given the one that was just closed, but they already seem to be back at 64ZooLaneFan22: similar username styling/format and even same editing on Little Charley Bear (see [3] vs. [4]). Personally I don't see a reason to request this in the SPI, especially given how obvious it is with that evidence. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa ( talk) 08:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Girth Summit,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up
here.
Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13646 articles, as of 14:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

There is something going on that I thought an admin might be able to help with. A new user left what was clearly a disgruntled Yelp review on the Lastminute.com page but a recently created account 'LM Corporate' removed. I would say both of these users should be prevented from editing further but I wasn't sure who to warn first...any help you might have would be very appreciated.

User:Ilovehistory16, whose account was created on June 28, claims on their userpage (the Good Article icon) that they helped bring an article to Good Article status back in October 2021. They also claim that they live in Germany - I just blocked an IP range they are using, which geolocates to Virginia (see Special:contributions/2600:1702:3233:a30::/64). Meanwhile they have been creating a fair amount of disruption creating new articles, new drafts, articles-forced-into-drafts, and submitting drafts created by other users for review (I see no pattern to the submissions in terms of a connection between the user and the authors of the drafts). They also copied User:Ilenekrall/sandbox to Draft:Monte Belo Condominiums. Ilenekrall created the sandbox back in 2017 and has done nothing else with that account. I've come close to blocking them for disruption, but I'd like to know if they are a sock first. Of course, any evidence that they are a sock may be too old, but I think there's enough here to warrant a check.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:09, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
naming for the oldest account with edits I detected. Not sure what you mean by that. The oldest account is R1322. Do you mean that you couldn't see ("detect") the edits made in January because the account is stale but were only able to confirm through login data? Even so, if you can confirm and call them a confirmed sock, it seems that they should be the master. I'll obviously defer to your decision, but...-- Bbb23 ( talk) 19:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Girth Summit, I have a question about your closing statement, The result was nomination withdrawn. The nom has withdrawn their nomination, and there are no outstanding delete !votes
, because I thought my !vote for a redirect is essentially a !vote to delete. I would have more clearly !voted to delete if I did not think there was article history worth preserving - from my view, the article has potential. But per the
Common outcomes section of the Deletion process page, I was trying to state that currently, the page has no unique and usable content, but information about the topic is found in another article.

Thank you today for that one, introduced: "Another joint venture from the itinerant repeat nominator Gog the Mild and the Scottish history expert Girth Summit. Charles I was king of England and Scotland, as two entirely separate matters. When the English chopped his head off they didn't consult the Scots. So when the Scots crowned Charles II it was as king of Britain (not Scotland). Which, with massive understatement, could be described as a provocation. In short order Oliver Cromwell was leading an English army across the border. The campaign was hard fought, but ended with the whole of Scotland subjugated. OK, in some ways it ended with Charles and the Scots' army going down to defeat in Worcester. Which part of Scotland is Worcester in, you ask? Read the article.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/New Galloway Town Hall. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, New Galloway Town Hall), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Greetings @ Girth Summit,
There is some credibly sourced content added by me to the article
Tourism in Pakistan. In last moth end part of it got deleted first then contested by a user and subsequently that user was proved to be sock. The sock user had added talk page message to contest the content, by the time I partially prepared reply in my sandbox, other users seems to have realized that it was a sock account and content was restored and their talk page message was reverted (by your edit dif 1101324993) , so I had no hurry to post my reply. (Almost immediately after sock edits were reverted, another user entered the scene to delete the next sourced content section added by me so my priority changed towards thinking over discussion for the same, which still I have not written and opened. Personally I make point to not engage in any content edit wars or personalizing disputes from my end and limit myself to talk page content dispute resolution mechanisms).
While I could not find time to open discussions @ the article talk page a new user account opened up
User:ImmortalTruthIII (
contribs) directly entered my sandbox to engage in discussion with attitude of
whataboutism and personal aspersions. Idk if they are same sock account, but IMHO other users are less likely to keep track of my sandbox which is named very unrelated. Idk what are sock related identity and processes. I have kept good faith from my side. Posted reference sources shared by them @
Talk:Rape in India#A note and called upon users @
India notice board for India related articles improvement vis a vis discrimination against women in India. And there after replied the new user account @ their talk page
User talk:ImmortalTruthIII#Your discussion. My reply @ their talk page speaks for itself so I would not repeat that here.
I do not know if discussed account is sock or not and what are observation and sock control processes. While replying that account in good faith, as responsible member of WP community I wish to keep you informed of the developments, so you can guide me, if needed. This is for your information.
Thanks and warm regards.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2022).
Hello Girth Summit,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower.

PDXBart's first edit was to nominate VersaLogic for deletion. After that he nominated many other articles for deletion and voted in others. There's also this very odd deleted edit at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kbabej, a user who Welcomed them, ostensibly because of their interest in Oregon articles (Kbabej was unblocked several years ago after I CU-blocked them - I didn't even realize there might be a connection until I started writing this). The user's edit summaries are not that of a new user.
What brought the user to my attention initially, was none of the above. It was a multiple speedy tagging of an article that I reverted and for which I warned the user. I also asked them about other accounts. Their reaction was, uh, not optimal. See their Talk page. What do you think?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:15, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Hey Girth, can you take a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Metaverse Yadav - I don't think a CU is needed but it's a little time sensitive cause I'd like to stop the disruption via page hijack that has happened yet again (and before Google indexes it.) They're obvious ducks. PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:24, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
On 14 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Earlstoun Castle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ...that defence was not a significant factor in the design or placement of Earlstoun Castle, which was unusual for a 16th-century tower house? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Earlstoun Castle. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Earlstoun Castle), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hi Girthsummit! I noticed the note on the SPI case I filed, and kind of wanted to explain my rationale for filing it. I looked at the contributions for Communicationstmathews, and saw that most of the edits they made were redacted. When the new account was created, their edits were identical (me and one other user reverted them, so I saw the edits yesterday before they were deleted.) My thought process was that this new account was evading a block and making the exact same edits that were permanently deleted the day prior for whatever reason. My fault was not checking the talk page to see what kind of block was made (soft or hard,) but I only saw the contributions page and noticed the block. Just wanted to explain my thought process so it didn't seem like I was filing the case in bad faith, which is something I really do try hard to avoid. I do appreciate the feedback though and will keep all of this in mind moving forward. Thanks! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 14:42, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a bit puzzled by the 3-month block of this IP. Their only edit was actually a good one (despite being reverted, I've since restored it). I must be missing something, can you tell me what? Thanks and cheers! -- Randykitty ( talk) 09:57, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I added a new SPI at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oneboygreen. I'm not entirely sure if it's the same editor or if they are simply being paid by the same clients. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 16:16, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Girth Summit, Can you run a checkuser on my account? I ask you this because is there any other account that was created by this (36.252.223.121) IP address. Sudip Kumar Nepal ( talk) 16:24, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Girth Summit, Recently, I used my brother sim card to browse and editing wikipedia. So, I want to check that is there any other account that was created by this ip? Or to be safe from sock. Sudip Kumar Nepal ( talk) 16:05, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
On some Wikimedia projects, an editor's IP addresses may be checked upon their request, typically to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation. Such checks are not allowed on the English Wikipedia and such requests will not be granted.). Mz7 ( talk) 19:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I am letting you know that I pinged you on User talk:HiltonCalifornia since I am not exactly sure how a user would go about messaging Wikipedia to alert they are the copyright holder to an image used by The NY Times. Also, this same user is possibly a sock ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HiltonCalifornia), and with this new possible copyright violation, my suspicions are even higher. Elijahandskip ( talk) 05:15, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Girth Summit - Sorry to trouble you with this. A new editor has recently tagged some 40 articles, some of which I have written, with notability tags. While the editor may well have a point that these articles can be improved, these articles are about large listed companies (constituents of the FTSE 250 index mainly). The new editor seems very familiar with our guidelines (see User talk:Dormskirk#Notability of investment trusts) so I suspect they are not really that that new to wikipedia. Thoughts welcome. Best wishes. Dormskirk ( talk) 08:22, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
