Hi, Ivanvector. I'm just posting to let you know that List of National Parks of Canada – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for May 18. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 ( Talk) 01:29, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Can I ask on what basis you have closed this SPI, without taking into account what I see as rather compelling and obvious evidence. I really do not think you've put much thought into this, and would like to urge you to reconsider based on WP:DUCK. Mar4d ( talk) 16:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, I would like to inform you that your
withdrawn case request has been archived.
Best regards,

Thank you for looking at that SPI. The reason behind including inactive accounts is that they can become active anytime if left unblocked so would you be kind enough to look at the other accounts as well because Bazaan has a habit of activating sleepers years later and we would still have to deal with them behaviorally as there will not be any guarantee that there will be another account to run CU against.

Hello Ivanvector, I’m following up with you because you previously showed an interest in the Interaction Timeline. The Anti-Harassment Tools team has completed V1.1 and the tool is ready for use. The Interaction Timeline shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits.
The purpose of the tool is to better understand the sequence of edits between two users in order to make a decision about the best way to resolve a user conduct dispute. Here are some test cases that show the results and also some known limitations of the tool. We would like to hear your experience using the tool in real cases. You can leave public feedback on talk page or contact us by email if the case needs discretion or you would prefer to comment privately. Otherwise, I'm always interested in hearing your other thoughts and ideas about the work of the Community health initiative projects. Best regards, SPoore (WMF), Trust & Safety, Community health initiative ( talk) 15:47, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector,
I've been dealing with a disruptive IP (range), who appears to not like the rapper Drake and alters/removes content at articles related to his music, including data about his performance on various Billboard charts. This goes back at least a few weeks now, and I don't know whether a range block is appropriate in this case. ( contributions in the IP range) MPFitz1968 ( talk) 17:40, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Decided to provide some sample diffs in case you are unable to see their contributions in link above: [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]. To a minor extent, they've also removed content in other music articles unrelated to Drake: [27] [28] [29]. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 17:55, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
The poll you removed on the page. I was dubious of it too, but I contacted gallup to confirm if it was authentic. Regardless of it being paywalled, those with WSJ membership can see the figures. Also, Gallup doesn’t always publish polls on their website. If you look on their official twitter feed they have cited it as authentic. They did not publish the Geo/Jang poll on their website either.
Masterpha ( talk) 19:21, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Additionally I will be readding the poll. This was discussed on the talk page and agreed that it was authentic. Masterpha ( talk) 19:23, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector, you had previously suspended the SPI case of Sardeeph, pending the ARE case. Unfortunately, MBlaze Lightning has now decided to retire. I could probably dig up some additional evidence but don't have the time to do so right now. Perhaps you can close it without prejudice, and I can open a new case if and when I get a chance? Thanks.

Hi Ivanvector - can you take a look at this 48 hour block? [30] It appears to be active still despite it being enacted for 48 hours. Hmlarson ( talk) 18:25, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
@ Hmlarson: - it was a typo, and I didn't correct it because I was unaware (that's kinda the point of typos!) Out of interest, why didn't you ask me about this before running off to another admin, or indeed notify me about this discussion? If you think I'm being "abusive" then feel free to report the block at ANI. If not, please leave me alone. (For any interested third parties, Hmlarson appears to be reviewing my old edits/blocks etc. as a result of us having a disagreement at this AFD. I'd be touched at their obsession with me if it wasn't so unsettling). Giant Snowman 19:12, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
I've written six new section on the talk page merger nomination to explain the difference between the term "Socialist state"/"Communist state" and the other terms for socialist construction (socialist republic, socialist country, socialist system el cetra).
Please read, I would appreciate it very much. I don't mean to sound like a jurk, arrogant or demeaning. The term and concept "Socialist state" was conceived by Marxist–Leninists. The Ba'athist movement sought to establish an "Arab state with a socialist system" (something different) and Libya sought to establish an "Islamic socialist state". The term "socialist state" was not used in the writings of Bernstein, Kautsky and other reformist / gradualists... they used "socialism" and talked about the "establishment of socialism" (and not about the establishment of a socialist state).. I can send you texts and pictures of the wriings of Luxembourg, Bernstein, Kautsky, internal Labour party documents... Whatever you like, but socialist state is a Marxist–Leninist term which Marxist–Leninist use. Other socialist movements (outside of the communist movement) don't use the term "socialist state".
Please read my comments. If you don't change you're mind, OK. But that to me doesn't make sense, because you're mixing "socialist state" with the term "socialism", "socialist society" el cetra. -- TIAYN ( talk) 13:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 10:36, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

You removed a reliable source confirming his death on the grounds that no reliable source confirms his death. And you said anyone could re-add it with one, but made it impossible for anyone but admins one minute later. This is a bad call on a few levels.
First, Greg Oliver and Dave Meltzer are not mere fans with opinions and Internet access. They've graduated university and have long professional careers, where they've learned the importance of credibility, good sources, ethics and responsibilities as much as any reporter with similar longevity. Meltzer, particularly, is something like the Knowlton Nash of the wrestling world. If he's comfortable stating their deaths as fact, they're virtually certainly dead.
Second, you're perhaps waiting for something extravagant, like a police press conference or a segment on The National. If so, we may be waiting forever. As you can probably tell from his article and level of news coverage, Rebel was not The Rock, Hulk Hogan or any other transcendent mainstream name. Nor is he close. Even within wrestling fandom, he's oft-forgotten and overlooked. It's entirely likely we'll just have people citing Meltzer citing friends, relatives and co-workers for years to come.
Third, while we're holding Rebel's death to an unusually high standard (and while the couple continues to not debunk the reports on social media), we leave dozens of other reportedly dead people on the Deaths in 2018 list, based on the say-so of friends, relatives or co-workers. Not word from cops, doctors, politicians, judges clergy or whichever other official you might be waiting on here. Why can a couple of art galleries declare Malcolm Morley dead? Or Brechin City FC can call it for John Ritchie (on its self-published website, no less)? Bruce Krison's story names no source at all, but we're not assuming that means he's a living person. Why the double standard for someone else we have no reason to believe isn't dead?
Anyway, I'm not knocking you for it, just saying I think you've made a mistake and might consider fixing it. If not, I guess there's no harm in keeping him alive on Wikipedia, just probably a bit confusing to readers who heard he died and Googled their way here to find he didn't.

Hi Ivanvector. You blocked A. Katechis Mpourtoulis for topic ban violation regarding the Balkans. They are again editing the same pages [33]. Since it is a topic ban violation, not disruptive editing or socking, I do not know what excatly should be done in this case. Can you have a look at it? Ktrimi991 ( talk) 21:46, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector,
The Anti-Harassment Tools team built the Interaction Timeline to make it easier to understand how two people interact and converse across multiple pages on a wiki. The tool shows a chronological list of edits made by two users, only on pages where they have both made edits within the provided time range. Our goals are to assist users to make well informed decisions in incidents of user misconduct and to keep on-wiki discussions civil and focused on evidence.
We're looking to add a feature to the Interaction Timeline that makes it easy to post statistics and information to an on-wiki discussion about user misconduct. We're discussing possible wikitext output on the project talk page, and we invite you to participate!

Hi Ivanvector
When time permits, can you revert a pagemove of a article talkpage. Its the Gjon Kastrioti article. User:Xhfgsepfiuh unilaterally moved the page to "Ivan Kastriot" and that was reverted, however the talkpage still has the name Ivan Kastriot [35]. There was no consensus for the change of either the main page or talkpage by @Xhfgsepfiuh, yet alone a proper pagemove process in the talkpage [36]. Best. Resnjari ( talk) 01:51, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ivanvector. Another recent finding shows that NadirAli edited with IP as recently as May this year. [39] There have been calls for community ban, though I still felt to inquire what you have thought about this SPI as NadirAli may have emailed you and others in last 1 week. ML talk 17:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
I think you missed that the abuse was very recent. Boxman88 has edited as recently 29 June and removed and re-added controversial material [40] that could have created trouble for NadirAli if he had used his main account. NadirAli socked with one IP as recently as 9 May. [41] Arbcom remedies do not allow reduction of standard duration for the offence. NadirAli still deserves an indefinite block, though in this case of NadirAli, in my opinion, the block needs to be permanent given he has been evading his block, topic ban, siteban for more than a decade while being subject to these numerous restrictions. -- RaviC ( talk) 15:16, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Problem is that the entire article appears to be pretty much copied verbatim from the original paper and its abstracts. The Researchgate website has a (C) symbol on it, so I'm guessing it's copyrighted, unless research papers have a different status? (I doubt they're released under a compatible license, though...).

Ktrimi991 (

Ivanvector there is a problem on Radcliffe Line article. Its been stable for 9 months until these recent edits. [42] [43] Being the original contributor of much of that content I reverted back to the status-quo, only to be reverted by some DBigXray, whi has no prior activity on that article or its associated talk, and what is following is an edit war, stonewalling (inspired, I suspect, from NadirAli's block, since he and I were the majority in the October discussion with Kautilya3) and veiled threats. [44] I think you should take a look at the article history and the talkpage to see the status-quo is maintained while we can all resolve this peacefully at talk.

(Responding here as this is really not for AE, and is off topic). RE this - it would be an interesting experiment to define Wiki conflict based on editor participation (assuming we were to color each editor by nationality - a no-no on wiki per policy) as opposed to actual relatedness of an article to a conflict. I've noticed this in ARBPIA too (which is not nearly as messy as ARBIPA (at least lately) - but is still a mess) - that sometimes one has "proxy battles" on issues not really related to actual conflict (e.g. in ARBPIA - the silliness over cultural appropriation (or lack thereof) of Hummus or Israeli Salad would perhaps be one). I suspect Adam's Bridge leads to a "proxy battle" due to the Hindu/Abrahamic name (though in this case, the British are "at fault" in setting the Abrahamic name as the COMMONNAME in English...) + the feature being relatively well known. Would definitely be an interesting research topic for an article (e.g. identifying "proxy battle" articles that are not actually conflict related). Icewhiz ( talk) 15:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Ivanvector (

{{
cite web}}
with some special formatting of some params to meet a subject-specific MoS? Three-ish custom/unique params? If I'm vaguely close then you might want to rework it using
Module:Template wrapper (an example use is
Template:Cite Grove). It lets you easily write citation templates that inherit most of their functionality from, say, {{
cite web}}
, {{
cite book}}
, or {{
cite encyclopedia}}
(all the
CS1-based templates), while customizing certain parameters or adding new ones. It would eliminate having to deal with the common parameters (|url=
, |access-date=
, etc.) and aliases and deprecations and… And if you wanted CS2 style for the output you could just hardcode |mode=cs2
(I must admit to not really understanding the difference, or even why people care so much). I'm by no means an expert on this stuff, but I found it a vastly better option than dealing with citations from scratch, so I highly recommend it.|access-date=
and |author-link=
rather than |accessdate=
and |authorlink=
). But that's just the CS1-based templates. --
Xover (
talk) 16:42, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
|access-date=
was the preferred format in CS1 templates, mainly because |accessdate=
is vastly more used, but if that's so I'll flip the priorities again in this temporary mess of a template.Regardless of the terrible but all too common PC gone wrong of "a male administrator responding so aggressively to a female editor's observation of misogyny is especially horrendous. ", I have never indicated my gender on enwiki, and would like people to keep their speculation on it (never mind, like you did here, making claims as if you are certain of it) out of discussions of my actions. That doesn't invalidate the remainder of your comments of course (although I am utterly amazed that people are apparently allowed to accuse others of misogyny and so on without the need to substantiate it, but I suppose that fits in the same PC gone wrong atmosphere I too often enounter on enwiki nowadays).

Hi. I want to urge you to look at the talk page of Pablo Morgado Blanco. Three other users have added their opinion on the matter about speedy deletion. RRD ( talk) 16:17, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
I have closed the ANI thread as a clear consensus to indefinitely block this user. I noticed you were more amenable to giving them a "last chance" and simply remove autopatrolled flags and ban them from uploads, in lieu of a block; however other editors said "enough's enough" and supported a full site-ban. So I think a block is a good balance between the extremes of views. I have pointed out that they are blocked, not banned, and I am fine for them to appeal the block through the usual processes. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:22, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
It's clear as hell to anyone not new to these bunch of Indian users like DBigXray, Lorstaking and Accesscrawl, 1990'sguy etc that they’re not what they seem to be. This is not the first time they've done meatpuppetry and you seem to know well that they aren't showing up out of coincidence.
You seem to have a much long experience, so you know they're trying to ban their enemies especially us Pakistani editors. So just block them next time. I also suggest you stop being meek in front of them, it will only encourage them. These people are only after to ban us Pakistani editors by hook or crook.
They'll yap about bad faith but won't care whether what they say constitutes bad faith itself.

Hi, Ivanvector. I'm just posting to let you know that List of National Parks of Canada – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for May 18.

Thank you for looking at that SPI. The reason behind including inactive accounts is that they can become active anytime if left unblocked so would you be kind enough to look at the other accounts as well because Bazaan has a habit of activating sleepers years later and we would still have to deal with them behaviorally as there will not be any guarantee that there will be another account to run CU against.

Hello Ivanvector, I’m following up with you because you previously showed an interest in the Interaction Timeline. The Anti-Harassment Tools team has completed V1.1 and the tool is ready for use. The Interaction Timeline shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits.
The purpose of the tool is to better understand the sequence of edits between two users in order to make a decision about the best way to resolve a user conduct dispute. Here are some test cases that show the results and also some known limitations of the tool. We would like to hear your experience using the tool in real cases. You can leave public feedback on talk page or contact us by email if the case needs discretion or you would prefer to comment privately. Otherwise, I'm always interested in hearing your other thoughts and ideas about the work of the Community health initiative projects. Best regards, SPoore (WMF), Trust & Safety, Community health initiative ( talk) 15:47, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector,
I've been dealing with a disruptive IP (range), who appears to not like the rapper Drake and alters/removes content at articles related to his music, including data about his performance on various Billboard charts. This goes back at least a few weeks now, and I don't know whether a range block is appropriate in this case. ( contributions in the IP range) MPFitz1968 ( talk) 17:40, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Decided to provide some sample diffs in case you are unable to see their contributions in link above: [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]. To a minor extent, they've also removed content in other music articles unrelated to Drake: [27] [28] [29]. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 17:55, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
The poll you removed on the page. I was dubious of it too, but I contacted gallup to confirm if it was authentic. Regardless of it being paywalled, those with WSJ membership can see the figures. Also, Gallup doesn’t always publish polls on their website. If you look on their official twitter feed they have cited it as authentic. They did not publish the Geo/Jang poll on their website either.

Hi Ivanvector, you had previously suspended the SPI case of Sardeeph, pending the ARE case. Unfortunately, MBlaze Lightning has now decided to retire.

Hi Ivanvector - can you take a look at this 48 hour block? [30] It appears to be active still despite it being enacted for 48 hours. Hmlarson ( talk) 18:25, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
@ Hmlarson: - it was a typo, and I didn't correct it because I was unaware (that's kinda the point of typos!) Out of interest, why didn't you ask me about this before running off to another admin, or indeed notify me about this discussion? If you think I'm being "abusive" then feel free to report the block at ANI. If not, please leave me alone. (For any interested third parties, Hmlarson appears to be reviewing my old edits/blocks etc. as a result of us having a disagreement at this AFD. I'd be touched at their obsession with me if it wasn't so unsettling). Giant Snowman 19:12, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
I've written six new section on the talk page merger nomination to explain the difference between the term "Socialist state"/"Communist state" and the other terms for socialist construction (socialist republic, socialist country, socialist system el cetra).
Please read, I would appreciate it very much. I don't mean to sound like a jurk, arrogant or demeaning. The term and concept "Socialist state" was conceived by Marxist–Leninists. The Ba'athist movement sought to establish an "Arab state with a socialist system" (something different) and Libya sought to establish an "Islamic socialist state". The term "socialist state" was not used in the writings of Bernstein, Kautsky and other reformist / gradualists... they used "socialism" and talked about the "establishment of socialism" (and not about the establishment of a socialist state).. I can send you texts and pictures of the wriings of Luxembourg, Bernstein, Kautsky, internal Labour party documents... Whatever you like, but socialist state is a Marxist–Leninist term which Marxist–Leninist use. Other socialist movements (outside of the communist movement) don't use the term "socialist state".
Please read my comments. If you don't change you're mind, OK. But that to me doesn't make sense, because you're mixing "socialist state" with the term "socialism", "socialist society" el cetra. -- TIAYN ( talk) 13:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 10:36, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

You removed a reliable source confirming his death on the grounds that no reliable source confirms his death. And you said anyone could re-add it with one, but made it impossible for anyone but admins one minute later. This is a bad call on a few levels.
First, Greg Oliver and Dave Meltzer are not mere fans with opinions and Internet access. They've graduated university and have long professional careers, where they've learned the importance of credibility, good sources, ethics and responsibilities as much as any reporter with similar longevity. Meltzer, particularly, is something like the Knowlton Nash of the wrestling world. If he's comfortable stating their deaths as fact, they're virtually certainly dead.
Second, you're perhaps waiting for something extravagant, like a police press conference or a segment on The National. If so, we may be waiting forever. As you can probably tell from his article and level of news coverage, Rebel was not The Rock, Hulk Hogan or any other transcendent mainstream name. Nor is he close. Even within wrestling fandom, he's oft-forgotten and overlooked. It's entirely likely we'll just have people citing Meltzer citing friends, relatives and co-workers for years to come.
Third, while we're holding Rebel's death to an unusually high standard (and while the couple continues to not debunk the reports on social media), we leave dozens of other reportedly dead people on the Deaths in 2018 list, based on the say-so of friends, relatives or co-workers. Not word from cops, doctors, politicians, judges clergy or whichever other official you might be waiting on here. Why can a couple of art galleries declare Malcolm Morley dead? Or Brechin City FC can call it for John Ritchie (on its self-published website, no less)? Bruce Krison's story names no source at all, but we're not assuming that means he's a living person. Why the double standard for someone else we have no reason to believe isn't dead?
Anyway, I'm not knocking you for it, just saying I think you've made a mistake and might consider fixing it. If not, I guess there's no harm in keeping him alive on Wikipedia, just probably a bit confusing to readers who heard he died and Googled their way here to find he didn't.

Hi Ivanvector,
The Anti-Harassment Tools team built the Interaction Timeline to make it easier to understand how two people interact and converse across multiple pages on a wiki. The tool shows a chronological list of edits made by two users, only on pages where they have both made edits within the provided time range. Our goals are to assist users to make well informed decisions in incidents of user misconduct and to keep on-wiki discussions civil and focused on evidence.
We're looking to add a feature to the Interaction Timeline that makes it easy to post statistics and information to an on-wiki discussion about user misconduct. We're discussing possible wikitext output on the project talk page, and we invite you to participate!

Hi Ivanvector. Another recent finding shows that NadirAli edited with IP as recently as May this year.

ML talk 17:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
I think you missed that the abuse was very recent. Boxman88 has edited as recently 29 June and removed and re-added controversial material [40] that could have created trouble for NadirAli if he had used his main account. NadirAli socked with one IP as recently as 9 May. [41] Arbcom remedies do not allow reduction of standard duration for the offence. NadirAli still deserves an indefinite block, though in this case of NadirAli, in my opinion, the block needs to be permanent given he has been evading his block, topic ban, siteban for more than a decade while being subject to these numerous restrictions. -- RaviC ( talk) 15:16, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Ivanvector there is a problem on Radcliffe Line article. Its been stable for 9 months until these recent edits. [42] [43] Being the original contributor of much of that content I reverted back to the status-quo, only to be reverted by some DBigXray, whi has no prior activity on that article or its associated talk, and what is following is an edit war, stonewalling (inspired, I suspect, from NadirAli's block, since he and I were the majority in the October discussion with Kautilya3) and veiled threats.

(Responding here as this is really not for AE, and is off topic). RE this - it would be an interesting experiment to define Wiki conflict based on editor participation (assuming we were to color each editor by nationality - a no-no on wiki per policy) as opposed to actual relatedness of an article to a conflict. I've noticed this in ARBPIA too (which is not nearly as messy as ARBIPA (at least lately) - but is still a mess) - that sometimes one has "proxy battles" on issues not really related to actual conflict (e.g. in ARBPIA - the silliness over cultural appropriation (or lack thereof) of Hummus or Israeli Salad would perhaps be one). I suspect Adam's Bridge leads to a "proxy battle" due to the Hindu/Abrahamic name (though in this case, the British are "at fault" in setting the Abrahamic name as the COMMONNAME in English...) + the feature being relatively well known. Would definitely be an interesting research topic for an article (e.g. identifying "proxy battle" articles that are not actually conflict related). Icewhiz ( talk) 15:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

{{
cite web}}
with some special formatting of some params to meet a subject-specific MoS? Three-ish custom/unique params? If I'm vaguely close then you might want to rework it using
Module:Template wrapper (an example use is
Template:Cite Grove). It lets you easily write citation templates that inherit most of their functionality from, say, {{
cite web}}
, {{
cite book}}
, or {{
cite encyclopedia}}
(all the
CS1-based templates), while customizing certain parameters or adding new ones. It would eliminate having to deal with the common parameters (|url=
, |access-date=
, etc.) and aliases and deprecations and… And if you wanted CS2 style for the output you could just hardcode |mode=cs2
(I must admit to not really understanding the difference, or even why people care so much). I'm by no means an expert on this stuff, but I found it a vastly better option than dealing with citations from scratch, so I highly recommend it.|access-date=
and |author-link=
rather than |accessdate=
and |authorlink=
). But that's just the CS1-based templates. --
Xover (

|access-date=
was the preferred format in CS1 templates, mainly because |accessdate=
is vastly more used, but if that's so I'll flip the priorities again in this temporary mess of a template.Regardless of the terrible but all too common PC gone wrong of "a male administrator responding so aggressively to a female editor's observation of misogyny is especially horrendous. ", I have never indicated my gender on enwiki, and would like people to keep their speculation on it (never mind, like you did here, making claims as if you are certain of it) out of discussions of my actions. That doesn't invalidate the remainder of your comments of course (although I am utterly amazed that people are apparently allowed to accuse others of misogyny and so on without the need to substantiate it, but I suppose that fits in the same PC gone wrong atmosphere I too often enounter on enwiki nowadays).

I noticed you were more amenable to giving them a "last chance" and simply remove autopatrolled flags and ban them from uploads, in lieu of a block; however other editors said "enough's enough" and supported a full site-ban. So I think a block is a good balance between the extremes of views. I have pointed out that they are blocked, not banned, and I am fine for them to appeal the block through the usual processes.

It's clear as hell to anyone not new to these bunch of Indian users like DBigXray, Lorstaking and Accesscrawl, 1990'sguy etc that they’re not what they seem to be. This is not the first time they've done meatpuppetry and you seem to know well that they aren't showing up out of coincidence.
You seem to have a much long experience, so you know they're trying to ban their enemies especially us Pakistani editors. So just block them next time. I also suggest you stop being meek in front of them, it will only encourage them. These people are only after to ban us Pakistani editors by hook or crook.
They'll yap about bad faith but won't care whether what they say constitutes bad faith itself. For example RaviC's harassment of you when you're relationship with Simonm223 was already made clear or Lorstaking claiming you're biased against him. Here's a suggestion: end their circus.

Where did "somehow malicous" come from? I'm not going to bring it up there, but this comment sounds awfully like you're harbouring a grudge over the NixonNow stuff, because nothing in my comments was accusatory. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 03:10, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
I hear the admonition in the close and will keep trying to clean up my act. I do get it that folks are sick of getting those complaints and there being a hook to hang them on. Jytdog ( talk) 00:58, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
