Hello did you forgot to answer my questions? Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 16:00, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Your name has come up at AN from a user both of us have warned. Acroterion (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
This query is about something you did a couple years ago, so it may be hard to remember. But I was looking for some old TimedText files I had uploaded for some Meghan Trainor songs, and saw in the records that they were all deleted by you. It seems to maybe have sprung from this nomination, so I wanted to ask why only the files I uploaded were deleted and, note-worthily, identical files for Lady Gaga and Nick Jonas songs (that are also listed at the discussion) have been retained? I couldn't find any different in their usage and my uploads.-- N Ø 08:34, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
JBW, will you be able to restore the text files soon? A few of them will effect certain articles I have GA nominated.-- N Ø 11:20, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi JBW. You blocked Special:Contributions/2600:387:1:813:0:0:0:0/64. There have been a lot of appeals from it on-wiki and in UTRS. This is an AT&T Mobility range, and for some of their ranges a /64 includes many people. Based on CheckUser data, I can confirm that there is a lot of collateral here. If you didn't have a specific person in mind over the entire range, it might be worth lowering. TonyBallioni ( talk) 02:05, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, JB. I don't know what "filter 1067" is but I just noticed a bot reported AryaWashington & AryaWashingtonDC to the Vandalism Noticeboard. Given that the latter has a Facebook account pointing at the Academy's website, these likely are for promoting them as well. – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 19:44, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, JBW. I would like to ask a block against this IP editor because all their contributions constitute vandalism, namely blatant violation of WP:COPYVIO. They keep copypasting large chunks of text from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the New Advent, e.g., here: [1] (cf. [2]) or here: [3] (cf. [4]). Furthermore, they also keep inserting the phrase "∅ in Primary Encyclopedic Published Academic Source" in accurately sourced articles or inserting original research in other articles: [5]. When reverted per WP:CYCLE they start edit-warring. Other editors have dealt with the IP editor as well: [6], [7], [8].Thanks. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 00:43, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
You're undoing some sock/vandal and I think they're back. Definitely a lot of vandalism. Buiiytd ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Listed them at AIV, but they're closing AfDs with false signatures. Jerod Lycett ( talk) 09:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
( edit conflict) User:Buiiytd is another sock of User:Dunnt717 and User:Soperisy. The guy just won't quit. I can't keep tracking them down and reporting them since I need to take a break. Also, some of their false closes in afd still aren't reverted like this one Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kanye_West_2020_presidential_campaign. - Harsh ( talk) 09:52, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
OK, Correcting ping for Harsh 2580 above. I know the editor has seen the message, but another time that might not happen. Signatures that differ from the user name can be confusing, and in my opinion therefore better avoided. JBW ( talk) 14:00, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
...and now I find the same applies to Jerodlycett, except that in your case I don't know whether you have seen the message or not, confirming what I said above in relation to Harsh 2580. Would you consider having your user name changed to "Jerod Lycett", which I agree looks better, and would avoid the problem? JBW ( talk) 14:04, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
I have been reading the talk page of PAustin4thApril1980. I see that you previously blocked him for not using edit summaries (which is still a problem but not why I am here). I tried to have a discussion with him about one of his edits. I admit that I was a little bit upset at the time and probably didn't express myself as welly as I should have, but his answer just left me shaking my head. It is bad enough that he wanted to treat something as fact based on an anonymous poster on some forum, but his words about a woman who committed suicide concern me. Someone who thinks that having breast implants means that a woman is a sex worker shouldn't be allowed to edit any articles about women (in my opinion). Is there any mechanism for dealing with something like this on Wikipedia? Mo Billings ( talk) 18:08, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2020).
There's a 14 or 15 year old rumor that gets brought up once in a blue moon, that the Punisher made a cameo appearance in the Spider-Man 2 film, but the only thing these people are basing that on is that the guy somewhat looks like Thomas Jane (opinion) and is wearing all black... that's it. But now there saying it was his stunt double from the film, but it's never been proven from anyone, no "quotes" or statements, they claim it's from a Wizard Magazine and the audio commentary from Spider-Man 2, but after 14 or 15 years, you would think we would know that by now. Story wise it makes no sense, also, Sony didn't own the rights to use the character, they would have gotten sued by Lionsgate, there was no MCU at the time.
These pages might need to be locked for a time because it seems this isn't going to stop and the IP address making these edits has been given many warnings from other edits. [12] 108.208.137.67 ( talk) 22:06, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

For tirelessly educating new users and users who have encountered difficulties. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:13, 7 August 2020 (UTC) |
@ Deepfriedokra: Thank you, it's good to know my efforts are at least sometimes appreciated. However, I am much less good at doing it than I was back in my early days as an editor. I'm afraid I've just spent far too much of my time dealing with vandals, spammers, etc etc, with the result that I now find it much more difficult than before to take a sympathetic line when editors are persistently problematic. In fact it might be of interest to you if you could see my original draft for the message that prompted this post from you. It really wasn't very friendly at all, but fortunately before clicking "Publish changes" I re-read it, and thought "No, let's edit that a little bit", and finished up editing it beyond recognition. Ten years ago I would probably have written the more friendly version in the first instance. Anyway, occasionally getting feedback supporting my better efforts helps to keep me on track.

In case you weren't watching, thought you might like to know that I declined your prod of Rick Sopher and then immediately thereafter listed the article at AfD. I think he's arguably notable as a businessman quoted in various mainstream outlets—even though I agree with you that, ultimately, he fails the relevant criteria.

JBW, I have been checking PAustin4thApril1980's edits from time to time since my first encounter with him. He has made some just inexplicable edits lately. He added an unsourced claim that an unknown murder victim was male "based on the attending doctor or midwife seeing a penis and testicles" which is probably true but a very odd thing to highlight. He removed Walter Mondale's well-known nickname of "Fritz" on the basis that "Fritz is a common European nickname for Frederick. In addition, in modern times, he's usually referred to as just Walter Mondale". He added an unsourced opinion that a dead actress "co-incidentally physically resembled the American singer Renee Sands who was born sixteen years before her". And he replaced a "citation needed" template with an unsourced opinion which he labelled as a reference. The last example may relate to our initial disagreement, but the others suggest that there might be competency issues. Would you mind taking a look? Thanks.

To make a long story short, I tried to edit the page related to 'hate group' from /info/en/?search=Hate_group to https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Hate_group&oldid=974291539 multiple time to make it more diverse & sources-conforming, but all the time moderators or another 'watchers' undid it to one previous version represented only selected by someone narrative that does not even stay in line with today's point of an authors research center. As a person who doesn't like the use of only one side of a complex problem, I can't stay with it but now try to solve the problem within Wiki, not within media and related public instruments.
More longer:
> Welcomes everybody to the discussion below 'Hate group' paper.
/info/en/?search=Talk:Hate_group#Our_#Wikipedia_is_not_one's_Political_Instrument.
Summary: today's version looks misleading, American-centrist (nothing mention phenomena of hate outside the USA and Southern Poverty Law Center) and moderators looks American chauvinist and supporting only nazi's or related old white supremacy symbols or flags, whereas even the major domain research center, SPLC as mentioned before, shows that have is more inclusive and diverse (in a negative way of this concepts). Moreover, the previous article authors misleading at FBI official state quotation to hate crimes to prove their own view. Hatred is not American or other today's rich country movements privilege, it has no borders or faces. Only people who do hate have these signs of division. And hate definitely has not only black/brown/multiracial/white/WASP/yellow or whatever you 'Americans' like to use to divisive yourself.

I have undone your revert on 1897 Darwin cyclone.
A close reading of the source I removed, as opposed to a quick skim, would have readily identified the sources do not support the content. The fact the source was being relied on to erroneously reference a 'Federal Cabinet' makes obvious the incorrect reading of the source, given an Australian Federal Cabinet did not exist given Australia had yet to complete Federation.

1) if the result of a deletion discussion is to draftify; or 2) if the article is newly created.
Hello JBW, trust you are doing fine. You G5 speedy deleted Draft:Odunsi (The Engine) (which I was going to nominate for deletion whenever it was going to be published by the creator anyway) because I believed the article wasn't notable & the creator was a covert UPE editor, but my main confusion is this; the article creator doesn’t seem to be blocked or in any violation of anything & rather has a clean block log, so how then did a G5 apply? Perhaps this kind of questions & the answers I’m seeking are above my “pay grade” / “security clearance” but If you can explain to me I’d be more than interested in knowing what transpired there, if you can’t, that’s alright as I deeply suspect the article creator is definitely not a new user, having observed the delete history of that article, it appears only UPE editors have tried to create it, some of which are banned/blocked, the most pertinent being the user @ Obari2Kay.

When PAustin4thApril1980 returned from their recent block, they made this edit to Lime Street (TV series) which added the sentence "Auditions were held for the characters of the two young daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret Ann. Because it was seen as likely that Elizabeth, at least, would come of age during the show's projected run, casting directors saw hundreds of twelve and thirteen year old (cisgender) girls for the part" (bolding mine). I don't want to follow PAustin around trying to police their troublesome edits relating to young girls and murdered actresses, so I left it for someone else to fix. Yesterday an IP editor removed the "cisgender" part. for obvious reasons. PAustin reverted them. I am sorry to bring this editor up again here, but they are obviously not going to stop making these kinds of edits. If blocking them didn't work, perhaps a ban from editing articles about women (living or dead) would help? Mo Billings ( talk) 16:33, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

@ JBW: Again I apologize for bringing this to you, but PAustin4thApril1980 continues to edit in a way that suggests he is unwilling or unable to edit according to policy.

You deleted my submission to the wikimedia commons and a draft that frankly I forgot I had and didn't know could not be in draft, you also deleted my contributions to Kirkwood because "No source", the source is their website, do some research and look for yourself instead of being a trigger happy cowboy next time. Next time instead of just spamming delete button at least fact check first. And in regards to the flag, I've seen many things on wikimedia commons that don't exist or are "hoaxes" so I assumed that It was just a place to upload images, my bad for misinterpreting it. The word "hoax" implies I was trying to fool somebody, i wasn't I just wanted to use the flag in a sandbox creation I was doing.

My content removal was explained by giving a reason to it, it is not acceptable that a fake information is still on wikipedia, only because of a subjective interpretation of a particular person.

There are ongoing processes law suits. So far the law only decided that FCSB does not hold the name of Steaua. I think CristiCristii holds several other users, clones with which he kept editing the page in his style over the past 3-4 years.

Hello, my name is Rebestalic
If you're wondering how I managed to happen across you, I saw a section on Materialscientist's (my regular go-to for vandalism) talk page by yourself, and was thrilled to see that you usually reply to messages on your talk page!!!!
And as you might have inferred, yes I have a potential problem person for vandalism; the IP is 97.117.105.160. Check out these edits
which I've linked here (A Warning, book)...
and here (Weijia Jiang, journalist). They're a Trump supporter in a strongly Trump-leaning state (Utah). I'd appreciate it if you whooped their ass could perhaps keep an eye on this person

Hello User:JBW This is regarding the page called S. U. Arun Kumar that I'm trying to create out of my own interest. Someone had created the same page earlier but it was moved to drafts citing "undisclosed payments" to that user. Please let me know how I can go about creating this page. I am only reaching out to you as you had replied to me in the talk page of GSS, the editor who had removed the page. I hope you can help me resolve this.

Hi JBW, I don't understand the deletion of all examples for the design pattern Command ( /info/en/?search=Command_pattern). I think it's a great help to understand those concepts. All others design patterns have a lot of examples of codes too. So maybe you should remove all code examples of all design patterns? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicoweb01 ( talk • contribs) 12:53, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you dear
user:JBW for your consideration.
If you notice this user User:HistoryofIran racistly try to add "Iranian" to the first line, if you refer to previous discussion we had on the talk page you decided to keep the "British" only there as he hold only one nationality. Also the word "Muslim" in the first line is something unnecessary and why need to mention there? I would love to refer you to this line you mentioned in the talk page.
Extended quote from
Talk:Sami Yusuf collapsed
|
---|
I have put some thought into this. Since an editor working on Sami Yusuf's behalf has made it clear that that editor regards Sami Yusuf as British, and not as "British-Iranian", it seems reasonable to conclude that Sami Yusuf self-identifies only as British, and whereas any question of citizenship is a matter of law, with a definite correct answer, a general description of someone's ethnic background is not so clear cut, and how he self-identifies should be given consideration. (I have a vague feeling that there is some guideline or other that supports that view, but I have no intention to spend time searching for it.) I therefore propose to replace "British-Iranian" with just "British", and to add a mention of the fact that he was born in Iran. I hope that will be a compromise that is acceptable to all: it will remove any possibility of anyone reading the description as implying dual citizenship, as desired by one party in this dispute, and at the same time will keep an indication of his origin from outside Britain, as desired by the other side. If anyone disagrees with this, then I hope they will post here explaining why, but I don't intend to defend it or argue about it. I am doing this in the hope that it will resolve the problem, but if it unfortunately doesn't then I am not going to get into edit-wars or quarrels over it. |
If you see we already fixed this issue and after a time this user User:HistoryofIran try to start vandalism again.
Regarding this user User:Assem_Khidhr
If you see he used sources from REMOVED references and most of them are from dead links. These are kind of incorrect information, they don't even let us to make changes and edit them with correct links/information.
In the end, it's clearly that the page is under vandalism, is it possible to lock the page again and make it semi-protected?
Thanks

Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is an Iranian-born British Muslim singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian.This doesn't correspond to Sami holding an Iranian citizenship as of now, which would have, indeed, been a contentious legal matter. You probably also missed the source I used for his personal details "International sensation Sami Yusuf". The Stream. 23 Dec 2011. Event occurs at 13:50, 14:15, and 15:15. Aljazeera English.
You know, that's it. That's what I love. I love to bring people together. I'm an Iranian-born ethnic Azeri who grew up in England, married a German lady, and embraced Sunni Islam. That's a really interesting combination. . . . I'm not interested in politics, generally. I don't like politics, including Islamic politics.. This makes it very clear that Sami prefers to emphasize his diverse origin. In fact, as you can see in the Wikidata item Sami Yusuf, we should also point out his Azeri origin, especially that it's in direct relation to his notability, being discussed in many works he did and being officially recognized in Azerbaijan (e.g. he received an honorary award for his contribution to Azeri heritge). Likewise, pointing out that he's Muslim in the lede is conforming to MOS:CONTEXTBIO, meaning that it's only appropriate because Sami's notability is explicitly derived from his religion. For example, he first came to prominence by releasing Al-Mu'allim song about the Islamic prophet Muhammad. All of this should have actually been spared for the article's talk page, where I would have been happy to explain this without badgering JBW ( talk · contribs) for no good reason. Assem Khidhr ( talk) 15:14, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Dear Assem Khidhr
Yes you are correct but you made emphasis to Iran there, have a look to this edit!
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sami_Yusuf&oldid=987874752
"Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is a British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian, born in Tehran,"
You made things more complicated here, it's also mentioned Iran there but in the end of the sentence, this is totally different with your edit.
You wanted to make the page better but seems not. What was the issue with the last edit?
Dear user:JBW you can judge as a super admin, is it possible to bring back the page to this version? https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sami_Yusuf&oldid=987874752
Currently the first paragraph is totally confusing.

One more thing
JBW
You can see these sentences are both correct and in a same way.
Previous one: Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is a British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian, born in Tehran, Iran.[5]
Current one: Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is an Iranian-born British Muslim singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian.[5]
In fact they are same, but it's totally intentional and he wants to make "Iranian" bolder there obviously. Maybe because of political reasons. That why I asked to have a look to the previous edits and current one.

Hello JBW,
In the past, I had received a partial block. Here on your talk page, you said that my indefinite partial block may be lifted after "at least a few months" among other things. We are now 6 months later and since then I had no incidents or made any ill-intentioned edits, as can be seen on my talk page or contributions. I would also like to make a " gentlemen's agreement" with you that, in the future, I will not edit the page where I got the partial block and continue overall editing without creating similar incidents or other misbehaviours.

Hello @ JBW:, I hope you're doing well. I came across you edits. Where you deleted the article due to the Afd. That is good and you followed the wikipedia community decision, which I shall to abide. But I have a question, the afd was of two months old September 2020 [17]. I created the article around 7th or 8th of this month Hero: Gayab Mode On. Some more vandalism of yesterday [18], [19]. The series is live/broadcast is going on now. Notability concern was their back in September, few points was arise before telecast, broadcasting, when series goes on air. The principal photography is happening since November, the show is on air now since 7th of this month. I could have added numerous sources to prove notability, or I could have done spaming. But since the lockdown I'm working to help. May be you're correct, or I'm wrong. Sometimes admin do does mistake to. I believe passing a judgement over a afd of 2 month old was not the right thing. In the add their was being said of a draft which exists previously, where can I see the draft. If the draft is the same as where my mainspace article has been moved. So why am I not being able to see the history. As I'm the article creator I should have been informed, I should have nominated the article for deletion. Or I should have moved the article to draft space and submit for afc process. Thanks and sorry if I was harsh -- C1K98V ( 💬 ✒️ 📂) 02:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

A couple of weeks ago, you blocked a number of IPs [20] [21] [22] [23] from Clonmel, Ireland, for disruptive editing, namely at Loki (comics). It now looks like that editor has registered an account (their persistent insertion of the exact same edit as the IPs is pretty obvious [24] [25]), who is also doing disruptive things at other articles. I just reverted a number of unsourced edits they made across a number of other comic book articles [26] [27] [28] [29], fixed an unsourced claim here, and have observed other problem editing around articles related to the Godfather films.

I would like your advice on my recent edits, due to an accusation of disruptive editing and creating inappropriate pages. I am simply trying to preserve what would become potentially deleted information for which I have spent months compiling. I have examined the rules, but nothing in my activities fits into either accusation placed. So far I've been given a stern warning, but no consensus or input from other users.

Hi JBW, quick question. If an article was created by a sockpuppet and the bulk of the content are from those sockpuppets (content consisting of OR, unreliably sourced claims, and POV claims that are not supported by the sources/references and deceptively used to pretend like they are), should the article be deleted? The specific article I'm talking about is: Legality of bestiality in the United States. It was created by the blocked sock User:Female bodybuilder enthusiast, reverted and redirected by another editor [31] because "some or most of the 'references' do not support what is written in the article", but the sock reverted and re-created the article. Once the sock was blocked, they block-evaded and continued socking to disruptively edit the article (the bulk of the deceptive and unreliably sourced content of that article comes from the sock). Do articles like this, ones created by sockpuppets and mainly edited by block-evading socks, usually stay or do they get deleted? Some1 ( talk) 14:54, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

It's just that this editor added a whole lot of material to List of female chess players and Women in chess that I personally dislike a lot, but which other editors insist on keeping, citing WP:SOFIXIT. Most of it is sourced, but often not very well (Ariana Grande's skin tone anyone?). It's very hard to find a way forward with the (new) Women in chess article if we're forced to start from the basis of this user's random and incoherent history.

I have been reading the talk page of PAustin4thApril1980. I see that you previously blocked him for not using edit summaries (which is still a problem but not why I am here). I tried to have a discussion with him about one of his edits. I admit that I was a little bit upset at the time and probably didn't express myself as welly as I should have, but his answer just left me shaking my head. It is bad enough that he wanted to treat something as fact based on an anonymous poster on some forum, but his words about a woman who committed suicide concern me. Someone who thinks that having breast implants means that a woman is a sex worker shouldn't be allowed to edit any articles about women (in my opinion).

There's a 14 or 15 year old rumor that gets brought up once in a blue moon, that the Punisher made a cameo appearance in the Spider-Man 2 film, but the only thing these people are basing that on is that the guy somewhat looks like Thomas Jane (opinion) and is wearing all black... that's it. But now there saying it was his stunt double from the film, but it's never been proven from anyone, no "quotes" or statements, they claim it's from a Wizard Magazine and the audio commentary from Spider-Man 2, but after 14 or 15 years, you would think we would know that by now. Story wise it makes no sense, also, Sony didn't own the rights to use the character, they would have gotten sued by Lionsgate, there was no MCU at the time.
These pages might need to be locked for a time because it seems this isn't going to stop and the IP address making these edits has been given many warnings from other edits. [12] 108.208.137.67 ( talk) 22:06, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@ Deepfriedokra: Thank you, it's good to know my efforts are at least sometimes appreciated. However, I am much less good at doing it than I was back in my early days as an editor. I'm afraid I've just spent far too much of my time dealing with vandals, spammers, etc etc, with the result that I now find it much more difficult than before to take a sympathetic line when editors are persistently problematic. In fact it might be of interest to you if you could see my original draft for the message that prompted this post from you. It really wasn't very friendly at all, but fortunately before clicking "Publish changes" I re-read it, and thought "No, let's edit that a little bit", and finished up editing it beyond recognition. Ten years ago I would probably have written the more friendly version in the first instance. Anyway, occasionally getting feedback supporting my better efforts helps to keep me on track.

JBW, I have been checking PAustin4thApril1980's edits from time to time since my first encounter with him. He has made some just inexplicable edits lately. He added an unsourced claim that an unknown murder victim was male "based on the attending doctor or midwife seeing a penis and testicles" which is probably true but a very odd thing to highlight. He removed Walter Mondale's well-known nickname of "Fritz" on the basis that "Fritz is a common European nickname for Frederick. In addition, in modern times, he's usually referred to as just Walter Mondale". He added an unsourced opinion that a dead actress "co-incidentally physically resembled the American singer Renee Sands who was born sixteen years before her". And he replaced a "citation needed" template with an unsourced opinion which he labelled as a reference. The last example may relate to our initial disagreement, but the others suggest that there might be competency issues. Would you mind taking a look? Thanks.

To make a long story short, I tried to edit the page related to 'hate group' from /info/en/?search=Hate_group to https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Hate_group&oldid=974291539 multiple time to make it more diverse & sources-conforming, but all the time moderators or another 'watchers' undid it to one previous version represented only selected by someone narrative that does not even stay in line with today's point of an authors research center. As a person who doesn't like the use of only one side of a complex problem, I can't stay with it but now try to solve the problem within Wiki, not within media and related public instruments.
More longer:
> Welcomes everybody to the discussion below 'Hate group' paper.
/info/en/?search=Talk:Hate_group#Our_#Wikipedia_is_not_one's_Political_Instrument.
Summary: today's version looks misleading, American-centrist (nothing mention phenomena of hate outside the USA and Southern Poverty Law Center) and moderators looks American chauvinist and supporting only nazi's or related old white supremacy symbols or flags, whereas even the major domain research center, SPLC as mentioned before, shows that have is more inclusive and diverse (in a negative way of this concepts). Moreover, the previous article authors misleading at FBI official state quotation to hate crimes to prove their own view. Hatred is not American or other today's rich country movements privilege, it has no borders or faces. Only people who do hate have these signs of division. And hate definitely has not only black/brown/multiracial/white/WASP/yellow or whatever you 'Americans' like to use to divisive yourself.

A close reading of the source I removed, as opposed to a quick skim, would have readily identified the sources do not support the content. The fact the source was being relied on to erroneously reference a 'Federal Cabinet' makes obvious the incorrect reading of the source, given an Australian Federal Cabinet did not exist given Australia had yet to complete Federation.

Hello JBW, trust you are doing fine. You G5 speedy deleted Draft:Odunsi (The Engine) (which I was going to nominate for deletion whenever it was going to be published by the creator anyway) because I believed the article wasn't notable & the creator was a covert UPE editor, but my main confusion is this; the article creator doesn’t seem to be blocked or in any violation of anything & rather has a clean block log, so how then did a G5 apply? Perhaps this kind of questions & the answers I’m seeking are above my “pay grade” / “security clearance” but If you can explain to me I’d be more than interested in knowing what transpired there, if you can’t, that’s alright as I deeply suspect the article creator is definitely not a new user, having observed the delete history of that article, it appears only UPE editors have tried to create it, some of which are banned/blocked, the most pertinent being the user @ Obari2Kay.

When PAustin4thApril1980 returned from their recent block, they made this edit to Lime Street (TV series) which added the sentence "Auditions were held for the characters of the two young daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret Ann. Because it was seen as likely that Elizabeth, at least, would come of age during the show's projected run, casting directors saw hundreds of twelve and thirteen year old (cisgender) girls for the part" (bolding mine). I don't want to follow PAustin around trying to police their troublesome edits relating to young girls and murdered actresses, so I left it for someone else to fix. Yesterday an IP editor removed the "cisgender" part. for obvious reasons. PAustin reverted them. I am sorry to bring this editor up again here, but they are obviously not going to stop making these kinds of edits.

You deleted my submission to the wikimedia commons and a draft that frankly I forgot I had and didn't know could not be in draft, you also deleted my contributions to Kirkwood because "No source", the source is their website, do some research and look for yourself instead of being a trigger happy cowboy next time.

Thank you dear
user:JBW for your consideration.
If you notice this user User:HistoryofIran racistly try to add "Iranian" to the first line, if you refer to previous discussion we had on the talk page you decided to keep the "British" only there as he hold only one nationality. Also the word "Muslim" in the first line is something unnecessary and why need to mention there? I would love to refer you to this line you mentioned in the talk page.
Extended quote from
Talk:Sami Yusuf collapsed
|
---|
I have put some thought into this. Since an editor working on Sami Yusuf's behalf has made it clear that that editor regards Sami Yusuf as British, and not as "British-Iranian", it seems reasonable to conclude that Sami Yusuf self-identifies only as British, and whereas any question of citizenship is a matter of law, with a definite correct answer, a general description of someone's ethnic background is not so clear cut, and how he self-identifies should be given consideration. (I have a vague feeling that there is some guideline or other that supports that view, but I have no intention to spend time searching for it.) I therefore propose to replace "British-Iranian" with just "British", and to add a mention of the fact that he was born in Iran. I hope that will be a compromise that is acceptable to all: it will remove any possibility of anyone reading the description as implying dual citizenship, as desired by one party in this dispute, and at the same time will keep an indication of his origin from outside Britain, as desired by the other side. If anyone disagrees with this, then I hope they will post here explaining why, but I don't intend to defend it or argue about it. I am doing this in the hope that it will resolve the problem, but if it unfortunately doesn't then I am not going to get into edit-wars or quarrels over it. |
If you see we already fixed this issue and after a time this user User:HistoryofIran try to start vandalism again.
Regarding this user User:Assem_Khidhr
If you see he used sources from REMOVED references and most of them are from dead links. These are kind of incorrect information, they don't even let us to make changes and edit them with correct links/information.
In the end, it's clearly that the page is under vandalism, is it possible to lock the page again and make it semi-protected?
Thanks

Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is an Iranian-born British Muslim singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian.This doesn't correspond to Sami holding an Iranian citizenship as of now, which would have, indeed, been a contentious legal matter. You probably also missed the source I used for his personal details "International sensation Sami Yusuf". The Stream. 23 Dec 2011. Event occurs at 13:50, 14:15, and 15:15. Aljazeera English.
You know, that's it. That's what I love. I love to bring people together. I'm an Iranian-born ethnic Azeri who grew up in England, married a German lady, and embraced Sunni Islam. That's a really interesting combination. . . . I'm not interested in politics, generally. I don't like politics, including Islamic politics.. This makes it very clear that Sami prefers to emphasize his diverse origin. In fact, as you can see in the Wikidata item Sami Yusuf, we should also point out his Azeri origin, especially that it's in direct relation to his notability, being discussed in many works he did and being officially recognized in Azerbaijan (e.g. he received an honorary award for his contribution to Azeri heritge). Likewise, pointing out that he's Muslim in the lede is conforming to MOS:CONTEXTBIO, meaning that it's only appropriate because Sami's notability is explicitly derived from his religion. For example, he first came to prominence by releasing Al-Mu'allim song about the Islamic prophet Muhammad. All of this should have actually been spared for the article's talk page, where I would have been happy to explain this without badgering JBW ( talk · contribs) for no good reason. Assem Khidhr ( talk) 15:14, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Dear Assem Khidhr
Yes you are correct but you made emphasis to Iran there, have a look to this edit!
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sami_Yusuf&oldid=987874752
"Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is a British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian, born in Tehran,"
You made things more complicated here, it's also mentioned Iran there but in the end of the sentence, this is totally different with your edit.
You wanted to make the page better but seems not. What was the issue with the last edit?
Dear user:JBW you can judge as a super admin, is it possible to bring back the page to this version? https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sami_Yusuf&oldid=987874752
Currently the first paragraph is totally confusing.
Thanks everyone.

Ok thank you but you didn't respond to my comments above! I don't know who the Hala is and I responsible to my activities here only! but my concern was something else, the page and information there were good since @ Assem Khidhr and HistoryofIran:made changes. You can simply compare this edit with the current one. You will understand what I mean.

One more thing
JBW
You can see these sentences are both correct and in a same way.
Previous one: Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is a British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian, born in Tehran, Iran.[5]
Current one: Sami Yusuf (born 21 July 1980) is an Iranian-born British Muslim singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer, and humanitarian.[5]
In fact they are same, but it's totally intentional and he wants to make "Iranian" bolder there obviously. Maybe because of political reasons. That why I asked to have a look to the previous edits and current one.
Thanks

question JBW can I make my own made-up powers members of the wikipedia empire that they can use for fun?
Hello JBW,
In the past, I had received a partial block. Here on your talk page, you said that my indefinite partial block may be lifted after "at least a few months" among other things. We are now 6 months later and since then I had no incidents or made any ill-intentioned edits, as can be seen on my talk page or contributions. I would also like to make a " gentlemen's agreement" with you that, in the future, I will not edit the page where I got the partial block and continue overall editing without creating similar incidents or other misbehaviours. Do you consider that the conditions have been set for lifting up my partial block? -- Randam ( talk) 22:09, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello @ JBW:, I hope you're doing well. I came across you edits. Where you deleted the article due to the Afd. That is good and you followed the wikipedia community decision, which I shall to abide. But I have a question, the afd was of two months old September 2020 [17]. I created the article around 7th or 8th of this month Hero: Gayab Mode On. Some more vandalism of yesterday [18], [19]. The series is live/broadcast is going on now. Notability concern was their back in September, few points was arise before telecast, broadcasting, when series goes on air. The principal photography is happening since November, the show is on air now since 7th of this month. I could have added numerous sources to prove notability, or I could have done spaming. But since the lockdown I'm working to help. May be you're correct, or I'm wrong. Sometimes admin do does mistake to. I believe passing a judgement over a afd of 2 month old was not the right thing. In the add their was being said of a draft which exists previously, where can I see the draft. If the draft is the same as where my mainspace article has been moved. So why am I not being able to see the history. As I'm the article creator I should have been informed, I should have nominated the article for deletion. Or I should have moved the article to draft space and submit for afc process. Thanks and sorry if I was harsh -- C1K98V ( 💬 ✒️ 📂) 02:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

A couple of weeks ago, you blocked a number of IPs [20] [21] [22] [23] from Clonmel, Ireland, for disruptive editing, namely at Loki (comics). It now looks like that editor has registered an account (their persistent insertion of the exact same edit as the IPs is pretty obvious [24] [25]), who is also doing disruptive things at other articles. I just reverted a number of unsourced edits they made across a number of other comic book articles [26] [27] [28] [29], fixed an unsourced claim here, and have observed other problem editing around articles related to the Godfather films.

I would like your advice on my recent edits, due to an accusation of disruptive editing and creating inappropriate pages. I am simply trying to preserve what would become potentially deleted information for which I have spent months compiling. I have examined the rules, but nothing in my activities fits into either accusation placed. So far I've been given a stern warning, but no consensus or input from other users. Also the content of my created articles meets Wikipedia content policies with sufficient sources and notability. If I'm doing anything wrong, just let me know and I will try to amend it. Thank you and happy 2021. Deltasim ( talk) 06:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey JBW,
I look at my watchlist and noticed that you moved a draft to article space and then deleted the redirect. Is there some rule or reason for deleting the redirect?

@ JBW: First of all Thankyou for restoring the article. I have understood the issues perfectly. This time I will rewrite and provide more reference as you have advised and will resubmit for review again. I will follow the conflict of interest guideline fully. I am very much obliged to you and other administrators. Thank you again and hopefully I will be able to be a better submitter gradually.
Hi JBW, quick question. If an article was created by a sockpuppet and the bulk of the content are from those sockpuppets (content consisting of OR, unreliably sourced claims, and POV claims that are not supported by the sources/references and deceptively used to pretend like they are), should the article be deleted? The specific article I'm talking about is: Legality of bestiality in the United States. It was created by the blocked sock User:Female bodybuilder enthusiast, reverted and redirected by another editor [31] because "some or most of the 'references' do not support what is written in the article", but the sock reverted and re-created the article. Once the sock was blocked, they block-evaded and continued socking to disruptively edit the article (the bulk of the deceptive and unreliably sourced content of that article comes from the sock). Do articles like this, ones created by sockpuppets and mainly edited by block-evading socks, usually stay or do they get deleted? Some1 ( talk) 14:54, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I see you performed a range block on the IP 2600:1002:B025:2B31:0:0:0:0/64, also using some nifty tool to revert several of their live edits. What was it specifically that prompted this action? I can't see anything linking this to any AN/ANI or SPI thread.
It's just that this editor added a whole lot of material to List of female chess players and Women in chess that I personally dislike a lot, but which other editors insist on keeping, citing WP:SOFIXIT. Most of it is sourced, but often not very well (Ariana Grande's skin tone anyone?). It's very hard to find a way forward with the (new) Women in chess article if we're forced to start from the basis of this user's random and incoherent history. Basically, nobody is motivated enough to wade through all that crap and try to shape something coherent out of it. MaxBrowne2 ( talk) 03:44, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello, you deleted many British military veteran recipients of the Legion D’Honneur from the above article correct?
