Thanks for blocking the above IP. Could you kindly revert his last edit to John Dowland, I've done two reverts already so can't sort it out myself. Thanks, Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 22:01, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
You previously semi-protected this chart for 1 week which has now expired. Since then it is again being changed by well-meaning but ill informed IPs (the PHE changed their way of reporting making it seem incorrect when not). Please could you consider indefinite semi-protection of this chart, similar to much of the COVID-19 stuff, given high visibility? Thanks |→ Spaully ~talk~ 11:57, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Harry, I just left a few remarks on the FAC page. I think, some of the issues I have with the article are simply a matter of wording.
Thanks also for your efforts regarding Le Gros. Your caring is appreciated but I know that I have to make much more substantial changes to get it up to FA status. But you are right, it's not all that difficult to make these changes. Again, mostly a matter of wording... Gerbis ( talk) 12:27, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Since you are one of the more respected amin on Wikipedia, I wanted to ask you if you could please add temporary semi-protection to The Phelps School page due to persistent disruptive editing by IPs destroying the page. The school has been the center of some controversy lately so it is not surprising, but please add protection. It has absolutely been justified by these IPs adding unsourced information and deleting other information randomly constantly. Editor940 (talk)

The page of Jacob and Moise were vandalized a few hours ago by the same IP address. The page of Jacob Safra was vandalized just now by a different IP address. Both vandalism were done on the subject of their nationality and place of birth as usual. If I have requested these pages to be protected is because they have a long history of vandalism. Its not a recent thing. If im going to work hard to provide sources and solve doubts about a subject please respect the work I do and work on protecting the mentioned pages.Thanks Chris O' Hare ( talk) 17:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello there.

I believe you made an error turning down my protection request for this article and I am relisting it. The past day has seen disruptive edits from four separate IPs, creating needless problems (as I predicted). I believe had you considered my rationale more carefully, you would have agreed. The Joe Biden page was semi-protected in large part because of disruption at the section on sexual assault allegations/misbehavior. It's a pretty reasonable inference to conclude that disruption would follow to the spinoff article, as it has. I understand the hesitancy, but a prophylactic protection here would've saved time and energy. Wikieditor19920 ( talk) 19:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
I need to request you that please delete the revision [1] as RD3 as that revision was purely disruptive or delete as the reason WP:RD2 as it also violates a biography of a living person or delete as the reason "Vandalism" because that revision is not supposed to be visible.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Death of James Ashley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battery ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hey how are you I recently joined wikipedia and added a section to the wikipedia of Jacobin (magazine), that section being "Praise, Criticism & Controversy". The section has been deleted two times outright. I believe that this is vandalism, and wanted to request an experience third party to protect the page and vet the section for inaccuracies.
The reason I believe that this is vandalism is that other editors gave great feedback and removed sources deemed "depracated" and asked for better sourcing without removing the entire section. Also the reasoning provided by the two users who vadalized the page is shaky. Thanks, please do check it out.
The wiki is: /info/en/?search=Jacobin_(magazine)
The two potential vandals are: Dsakey1978 and Asoka89
Will do. However I did point out the errors in their reasoning and they still deleted entire sections. If the problem persists may I ask for you assistance again?
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Death of James Ashley you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of SchroCat -- SchroCat ( talk) 15:00, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
On Sarajevo wedding attack, the user Sadko has reverted me under false reasons. While I did have a dispute with another user Amanuensis Balkanicus earlier, because he was distorting sources and seemed to be POV-pushing, I did resolve it. Thus I don't have a dispute anymore and Sadko reverted me under false pretenses.
Regardless, AB unilaterally changed the article to "Nikola Gardović was the first casualty of the Bosnian War" when the sources he used only said his death is only regarded by many as the first death or often regarded so. It didn't claim it as a fact. There are opposing viewpoints as well which AB despite adding himself earlier, unilaterally decided to remove. He didn't object to it, there was no dispute for now.
However after I corrected the false claims in his edits, I also wrongly believed the Economist source he used was a blog withiut any credentials. So I removed it and we had s dispute He pointed out I was wrong and the author was the journalist Tim Judah, I realised my mistake and let him revert me.
I even let him remove my edits which he claimed were flimsy like only one person saying that only one person claimed the wedding attack was taught in schools, so I can't say it as a fact is taught in schools. I didn't agree with his reason but I didn't want a dispute.
I made some further edits which Amanuensis Balkanicus never disputed (nor has he disputed until now). Sadko reverted me and claimed there was an edit dispute (the aftual edit dispute was already resolved)
Later he changed his reason to "there was clear disagreement before". I just added a small sentence about when the war is considered to have started. That wasn't a major change unlike what Sadko claimed and I do have the right to present opposing viewpoints since AB had decided to unilaterally consider only one viewpoint as true and remove everything else.
This is only done so the article is balanced and AB hasn't disputed with me. When I pointed out there was no dispute, Sadko started claiming that there was a dispute earlier so now I must discuss even my new edits. I am not opposed to discussion, but no one seems to have any dispute with them.
Also Sadko earlier taunted me for being Indian saying "Dear Indian editor". I didn't like it and thought he was making fun as I couldn't see any other reason for it. He also hasn't cleared up why he made such a statement like that. [2]. His behvaiour since then hasn't helped. While he initially claimed to be a fan of my nation and culture, his garbled English later on with a smile seemed to be like a stereotype, it certainly doesn't appear to be a typo mistake based on Serbian, American or British keyboard layouts [3].
But what has pointed my suspicion to him the most is that numerous users have stated that he is wrongly (or falsely) classifying them as unconstructive or a vandal over him actually not agreeing to their edits even if they're not unconstructive. If this was just me, I would have let it go. [4], [5]. I don't believe he is being neutral. 117.199.87.125 ( talk) 22:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

The article Death of James Ashley you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Death of James Ashley for comments about the article. Well done!

Hi there,
Do you have some time to help with copyediting an article? If not, do you know someone who can help polish an article related to film (BLP)? Shahid • Talk2me 10:58, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
The user who caused the protection came back logged in (compare Special:Contributions/DTilmann and Special:Contributions/5.61.169.51). He cite quotes from her book that he doesn't like and says that they are controversial. Furthermore he never used the talk page. I think this article needs a longer and higher protection.-- PibeDeOuro ( talk) 13:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hey Harry, I just jumped in there, reverting one editor and restoring content, and then pruning that to comply a bit more with the BLP and WP:V, but I see now that this has been going on for a while, and you semi-protected the article. That took the IPs out of it (though I'm wondering what running Checkuser might reveal), but I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on that article a bit; it might well remain contentious for a while, and I can't really act administratively. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 13:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello HJ Mitchell,
There's an ongoing discussion on Talk:George Floyd about the recent move, and about the strong WP:SNOW consensus to move "George Floyd" back to " George Floyd (American football)". May you take a look at it? Paintspot Infez ( talk) 20:48, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2020).
I noticed thanks to a helpful (?) test IP that Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/6 somehow slipped through as well; would you mind semi-protecting? Thanks! {{u| Sdkb}} talk 04:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, again, Harry, Thank you so much for your help. As you can notice, that user who is on a sort of mission to destroy this FAC (just because I refused to remove one word!) is now addressing you. Good luck in trying to understand what he wants, if you have any intention of replying.
I have another request - since you've been so helpful, may I ask you to consider doing a source review on the article? I'd really appreciate that. I've asked several editors who couldn't and even logged a request on WT:FAC but no one seems to be taking notice, and right now all I'm doing is dealing with you know what. If you can find some time, that would mean a lot. Shahid • Talk2me 13:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, Harry, the FAC has been achieved and I started

This is to let you know that the Arch of Remembrance article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 4, 2020. 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 4, 2020, 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? 07:30, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
You told me "You must not re-add the claim until you can produce an indisputably reliable source which explicitly makes the connection you're making." My claim was: "Moxie Marlinspike is also known as Mike Benham".
Btw, I *had* added two sources from respectable publications (ComputerSweden and Lokmat), which explicitly made that connection, don't know why you reverted the edit regardless. Anyway, I don't wish to beat a dead horse.
Slate, which is explicitly listed as a WP:RS in this list, has published this ( link, archived link) article, which contains this direct quote: "Début mai, Marlinspike, également connu sous les noms de Matthew Rosenberg ou Mike Benham, a reçu un mail dont le sujet –«Solution pour gérer les informations encryptées dans la télécommunication»– l’a intrigué."
Can we re-add the claim now?

Regardless, AB unilaterally changed the article to "Nikola Gardović was the first casualty of the Bosnian War" when the sources he used only said his death is only regarded by many as the first death or often regarded so. It didn't claim it as a fact. There are opposing viewpoints as well which AB despite adding himself earlier, unilaterally decided to remove. He didn't object to it, there was no dispute for now.
However after I corrected the false claims in his edits, I also wrongly believed the Economist source he used was a blog withiut any credentials. So I removed it and we had s dispute He pointed out I was wrong and the author was the journalist Tim Judah, I realised my mistake and let him revert me.
I even let him remove my edits which he claimed were flimsy like only one person saying that only one person claimed the wedding attack was taught in schools, so I can't say it as a fact is taught in schools. I didn't agree with his reason but I didn't want a dispute.
I made some further edits which Amanuensis Balkanicus never disputed (nor has he disputed until now). Sadko reverted me and claimed there was an edit dispute (the aftual edit dispute was already resolved)
Later he changed his reason to "there was clear disagreement before". I just added a small sentence about when the war is considered to have started. That wasn't a major change unlike what Sadko claimed and I do have the right to present opposing viewpoints since AB had decided to unilaterally consider only one viewpoint as true and remove everything else.
This is only done so the article is balanced and AB hasn't disputed with me. When I pointed out there was no dispute, Sadko started claiming that there was a dispute earlier so now I must discuss even my new edits. I am not opposed to discussion, but no one seems to have any dispute with them.
Also Sadko earlier taunted me for being Indian saying "Dear Indian editor". I didn't like it and thought he was making fun as I couldn't see any other reason for it. He also hasn't cleared up why he made such a statement like that. [2]. His behvaiour since then hasn't helped. While he initially claimed to be a fan of my nation and culture, his garbled English later on with a smile seemed to be like a stereotype, it certainly doesn't appear to be a typo mistake based on Serbian, American or British keyboard layouts [3].
But what has pointed my suspicion to him the most is that numerous users have stated that he is wrongly (or falsely) classifying them as unconstructive or a vandal over him actually not agreeing to their edits even if they're not unconstructive. If this was just me, I would have let it go. [4], [5]. I don't believe he is being neutral. 117.199.87.125 ( talk) 22:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I really don't try to do edit wars. There's one user called Isaacsorry, who's doing biased edits on the Ariana Grande Page, and other pages he edits. Please, can u unblock me. I'm slowing down! xx
Isaacsorry is doing literally same thing on the Frank Ocean page, why he's not getting blocked, for at least three days? Mirrored7 ( talk) 21:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
You protected Draft:Upcoming Ellie Goulding album until an album title was announced; it now has, however, exists at Brightest Blue. Is there any way to merge these two pages, and likely put a new protection into place to avoid more unwelcomed edits? livelikemusic ( TALK!) 13:24, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
The article Death of James Ashley you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Death of James Ashley for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hi there,
Do you have some time to help with copyediting an article? If not, do you know someone who can help polish an article related to film (BLP)? Shahid • Talk2me 10:58, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
The user who caused the protection came back logged in (compare Special:Contributions/DTilmann and Special:Contributions/5.61.169.51). He cite quotes from her book that he doesn't like and says that they are controversial. Furthermore he never used the talk page. I think this article needs a longer and higher protection.-- PibeDeOuro ( talk) 13:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hey Harry, I just jumped in there, reverting one editor and restoring content, and then pruning that to comply a bit more with the BLP and WP:V, but I see now that this has been going on for a while, and you semi-protected the article. That took the IPs out of it (though I'm wondering what running Checkuser might reveal), but I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on that article a bit; it might well remain contentious for a while, and I can't really act administratively. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 13:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello HJ Mitchell,
There's an ongoing discussion on Talk:George Floyd about the recent move, and about the strong WP:SNOW consensus to move "George Floyd" back to " George Floyd (American football)". May you take a look at it? Paintspot Infez ( talk) 20:48, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2020).
I noticed thanks to a helpful (?) test IP that Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/6 somehow slipped through as well; would you mind semi-protecting? Thanks! {{u| Sdkb}} talk 04:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, again, Harry, Thank you so much for your help. As you can notice, that user who is on a sort of mission to destroy this FAC (just because I refused to remove one word!) is now addressing you. Good luck in trying to understand what he wants, if you have any intention of replying.
I have another request - since you've been so helpful, may I ask you to consider doing a source review on the article? I'd really appreciate that. I've asked several editors who couldn't and even logged a request on WT:FAC but no one seems to be taking notice, and right now all I'm doing is dealing with you know what. If you can find some time, that would mean a lot. Shahid • Talk2me 13:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, Harry, the FAC has been achieved and I started
Wikipedia:Peer review/Dimple Kapadia/archive2. If you have any comments, please do post them.

This is to let you know that the Arch of Remembrance article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 4, 2020. 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 4, 2020, 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? 07:30, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
You told me "You must not re-add the claim until you can produce an indisputably reliable source which explicitly makes the connection you're making." My claim was: "Moxie Marlinspike is also known as Mike Benham".
Btw, I *had* added two sources from respectable publications (ComputerSweden and Lokmat), which explicitly made that connection, don't know why you reverted the edit regardless. Anyway, I don't wish to beat a dead horse.
Slate, which is explicitly listed as a WP:RS in this list, has published this ( link, archived link) article, which contains this direct quote: "Début mai, Marlinspike, également connu sous les noms de Matthew Rosenberg ou Mike Benham, a reçu un mail dont le sujet –«Solution pour gérer les informations encryptées dans la télécommunication»– l’a intrigué."
Can we re-add the claim now?

Hi, I saw you listed at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests, so I was wondering if you could help me out. It's all of the revisions between this and this. They contain a lot of personally identifiable information about a certain editor named Dattisan. Thanks for everything!

It's a Good Article and a current Featured Article nominee. It's been reviewed and edited significantly and three editors told me to look for other editors to review it. Here's the featured article page: Laura Harrier FAC. Please help. Thanks. Factfanatic1 ( talk) 07:19, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I'm considering submitting Cymmer Colliery explosion as FAC and saw your name and interests listed at WP:FAM. I'm a first-time FA nominator and would appreciate your guidance if you had the time/interest. Cheers, ~ RLO1729 💬 04:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
