Hi, I have uploaded the images during the improvement of an article. However, one thing that I'm skeptical about is whether should I choose as my "own work"? The images that I upload are redrawn from the sources, and I have added the source in the summary.
Did I miss something? I'm new at uploading images, and I have no clue how to upload them to Commons even if I have read the WP:MTC. Dedhert.Jr ( talk) 05:50, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Recently this page's protection was raised.
The reason was proposer gave is editwar, disruptive editing, sock puppet and meat puppet.
Editwar: I have not reverted a single line from the article. I found multiple statements which provided source didn't back it up, grossly misinterpreted which other users also have pointed out and statement taken out of context I've recorded each and every each in talkpage.
But I didn't removed any statement just added inline tags.
The other edits I've done, I've added multiple reference for each statement I've added. I've commented extensively for each edit. Even added references about the citation in the edit description.
A disputed and misinterpreted claim
"Mostly Hindu women were victims..." which he initially added without any source and interestingly, he deleted 5 sources all secondary not original which seems to imply Women were raped irrespective of religion.
An user has given well sourced complain about the claim but he didn't participated in the discussion and didn't defended his claim, i think it's been 15 to 20 days when the dispute was logged. Initially I added inline disputed tag but when it was clear he won't be defending it i restored the original claim which was backed by 5 sources which he deleted before the pov push. I also added additional 2 sources from newyorktimes and a paper from academia.org.
While he wasn't defending his edit he reverted my edit saying no consensus! He didn't improved on the material instead reverted my 3 days of work on this article.
I reverted back and added more references, check the logs if I'm lying. He again reverted back a jouranal published in National library of Medicine and a world renowned book as a primary source. It was clear even if i cite nobel prize winning paper(phrasing wrong) i would get reverted. I documented his destructive and Vandalism in details in the talk page of the article before reverting I don't call it edit war. He actively reverting sentences with multiple references it is clear vandalism.
Also He and the user who proposed protection is involved in similar article "Bangladesh Genocide".
I'm the only active user who is contributing in this article constructively ,by increasing
page security and immediately after reverting every contribution i've done is a blalant gaming the system. He've also removed all the inline tags which questions the neutrality of the article.. plz refer to the talk page of the article.
Take everything i said as grain of salt and investigate yourself.
I also propose, restore the inline tags and revert the last revert, even if you don't do please keep both conflicting view if you don't find the disputed claim as misinterpretion
I've worked hard for 4 days continuously on this, reverting each and every contribution like that feels very discouraging. I'm also want your advice how to handle this.

You asked "does it make sense to prevent a widow from living in destitution?" Why wouldn't it? I understand widows were often made destitute by the deaths of their husbands. Regarding the edit, I made the change because she had been widowed by this point and was no longer his wife. AlmostReadytoFly ( talk) 12:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi. On 08:46, 9 February 2024 , you Johnuniq warned me that you were going to block me, stating, "I will block you if you reinstate obvious nonsense again". I consider this a highly inappropriate warning of a block and it even appears to be misuse of administrative powers.

Hello. When I asked that the Spanish protests page be protected, I also noted that the users who were making those edits, one of them changed the title of the page itself without providing any evidence or sources, and I was never able to undo that. They changed the page to Spanish protests against the amnesty (2023-2024), and they did not provide any evidence. Spanish protests against the amnesty (2023-2024) - Wikipedia
I ask that you please change the title to "2023 Spanish protests against Catalan amnesty" because the protests the page covers were about Catalan amnesty, whereas the current page just says amnesty with no context, and because the user who changed it did not give any sources or evidence that the protests were still ongoing, and everybody else was in agreement that unless someone showed they were ongoing, the protests ended in 2023. In addition, he also changed the duration to say they were still going on without sources or evidence, so when I undid that, I changed it back to October 29-November 18, a duration of 20 days, since that was the reliable dates we had, but the duration was difficult for me to read, and I accidentally put it to 11 months, 3 weeks and 1 day. If you can put those changes in, it would make the article more reliable, and it would be up to date with the most reliable information. Thank you.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

I'm a user on FANDOM and I'd like to ask you a question. Could you show me what would need to be changed to the Age module so that the year is the last numeral, rather than the first. For example, here it is year, day then month, I'd like for it to be month, day then year. I'd gratefully appreciate it if you could show me :) ValenciaThunderbolt ( talk) 18:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
{{start date|1993|02|24}}
is 1993, February, 24. What do you want {{
start date}} for? Its documentation says it is only for use inside a template. Frankly it would be a bad idea to require people to enter month/day/year. Module:Age can accept dates in a variety of formats, for example "February 24, 1993" as a single parameter.
Johnuniq (

04:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
{{age in days|1993|2|5|2024|4|6}}
→ 11383{{age in days|Feb 5, 1993|April 6, 2024}}
→ 11,383{{age in days|2|5|1993|4|6|2024}}
would be guaranteed to result in confusion. Modifying function getDates
to do that would require some tricky changes and I wouldn't want to take the time.
Johnuniq (

05:21, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
{{example|month1|day1|year1|month2|day2|year2}}
If so, something easy might be possible. However, things would be too difficult if Module:Age is used for any of its other possible templates where a variety of date formats are accepted.
Johnuniq (

02:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Here, several templates allow entry of six values (ymd order) or two dates, for example:
{{age in days|1990|07|20|1992|9|20}}
→ 793{{age in days|July 20, 1990|Sep 20, 1992}}
→ 793A simple adjustment would accept six values in mdy order, for example, {{age in days|07|20|1990|9|20|1992}}
. However, the two dates would no longer work and more adjustments would be needed to make that work as well. I put the simple fix in
Module:Age/sandbox. See the following diff.
Johnuniq ( talk) 02:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
{{extract|April 1, 2024}}
or three numbers, for example {{extract|2024|4|1}}
. I won't be changing that.{{death date and age|2|24|1993|4|12|1921}}

Hi Johnuniq,
Remember that R&I LTA range you blocked for trolling and ban evasion back in February? Remember how there was some question about whether the /40 or only the /44 was necessary to prevent further violations? Well, the LTA has returned to the topic area, so I'd suggest that a widening of the block to the /40 would be warranted.
(Note that in this case the revert would ordinarily be justified because of the way the discussion on the relevant content left off at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive357#Heiner Rindermann, but it's still a flagrant t-ban violation.)

Can you or somebody do something about The Merchant of Venice? User:AlexAndrews seems to be waging a campaign to completely rewrite it by continual expansion: 34 changes in 13 days so far. You have already placed a warning on their talk page about procedures and consensus, but they seem to want to interpret WP policies in their own way and it's still happening. As you point out, much of it looks like OR. They seem to be using it as an opportunity to write an interpretative blog, and are not persuaded to cease by other users. Ideally, I would like to see the article rolled back by about 2 weeks, before this user started to inflate it. Masato.harada ( talk) 08:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II.

Ok so thank you for the venue advice at the end there but just for record I see from the first part you thought the header was a vandalism report. No, what I thought you noticed was that I picked somebody at the recently active admins list and made a post to their talk page. The header was me in a fit of madness hitting publish on a half-written ANI post somewhere in this sequence of events.(I changed the header). Sounds like in your opinion posting to ANI or AN would have been better. In any event, that was a much better and more detailed answer to the question than I was expecting, so thank you for that.

Would you please look at the discussion on Talk:Grace VanderWaal? It follows some IP vandalism concerning a tik-tok singer named Daniel Larson alleged to be dating VanderWaal. Thanks! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:23, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi I have pinged you in a discussion on this recently protected page, would appreciate your attention on the talk page. Thank you. Oz346 ( talk) 19:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your comment here. I note further that the off-wiki "campaign" now, apparently, includes on-wiki physical threats against certain editors (see this ANI report I initiated yesterday). I mention it here so that, being an administrator, you would have a fuller understanding of the depths to which this active campaign is willing to sink. JoJo Anthrax ( talk) 07:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Johnuniq :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

You do understand that " what is the point of fiddling with this" is not a valid reason to revert. Please provide a reason why you think my edits did not constitute an improvement. 02:07, 17 March 2024 (UTC) Up the Walls ( talk) 02:07, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Jon. This editor has been pushing infoboxes at two more articles that I worked on extensively. In reverting him, I inadvertently deleted the lead images, and in one case he accused me of vandalism:
Would you please review the last couple days' edits there? Thanks! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 15:18, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Consensus process, censorship, administrators' warnings and blocks in dispute, and responses to appeals and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only.

Hi, John. I have been resisting this on the grounds of WP:BLP, as none of the sources have confirmed this marriage directly with the subject, but the photos in this New Zealand article look pretty convincing. Do you think it is time to add it to their article? -- Ssilvers ( talk) 00:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm a user on FANDOM and I'd like to ask you a question. Could you show me what would need to be changed to the Age module so that the year is the last numeral, rather than the first. For example, here it is year, day then month, I'd like for it to be month, day then year. I'd gratefully appreciate it if you could show me :) ValenciaThunderbolt ( talk) 18:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
{{start date|1993|02|24}}
is 1993, February, 24. What do you want {{
start date}} for? Its documentation says it is only for use inside a template. Frankly it would be a bad idea to require people to enter month/day/year. Module:Age can accept dates in a variety of formats, for example "February 24, 1993" as a single parameter.

{{age in days|1993|2|5|2024|4|6}}
→ 11383{{age in days|Feb 5, 1993|April 6, 2024}}
→ 11,383{{age in days|2|5|1993|4|6|2024}}
would be guaranteed to result in confusion. Modifying function getDates
to do that would require some tricky changes and I wouldn't want to take the time.

{{example|month1|day1|year1|month2|day2|year2}}
If so, something easy might be possible. However, things would be too difficult if Module:Age is used for any of its other possible templates where a variety of date formats are accepted.

Here, several templates allow entry of six values (ymd order) or two dates, for example:
{{age in days|1990|07|20|1992|9|20}}
→ 793{{age in days|July 20, 1990|Sep 20, 1992}}
→ 793A simple adjustment would accept six values in mdy order, for example, {{age in days|07|20|1990|9|20|1992}}
. However, the two dates would no longer work and more adjustments would be needed to make that work as well. I put the simple fix in
Module:Age/sandbox. See the following diff.
Johnuniq ( talk) 02:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
{{extract|April 1, 2024}}
or three numbers, for example {{extract|2024|4|1}}
. I won't be changing that.{{death date and age|2|24|1993|4|12|1921}}

Hi Johnuniq,
Remember that R&I LTA range you blocked for trolling and ban evasion back in February? Remember how there was some question about whether the /40 or only the /44 was necessary to prevent further violations? Well, the LTA has returned to the topic area, so I'd suggest that a widening of the block to the /40 would be warranted.
(Note that in this case the revert would ordinarily be justified because of the way the discussion on the relevant content left off at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive357#Heiner Rindermann, but it's still a flagrant t-ban violation.)

Can you or somebody do something about The Merchant of Venice? User:AlexAndrews seems to be waging a campaign to completely rewrite it by continual expansion: 34 changes in 13 days so far. You have already placed a warning on their talk page about procedures and consensus, but they seem to want to interpret WP policies in their own way and it's still happening. As you point out, much of it looks like OR. They seem to be using it as an opportunity to write an interpretative blog, and are not persuaded to cease by other users. Ideally, I would like to see the article rolled back by about 2 weeks, before this user started to inflate it. Masato.harada ( talk) 08:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Hi John, a user asked me to import this module on bnwiki. So, I imported here for testing. As this module produce en digit, so i did this edit.

Would you mind revisiting the CKY (band) article? You recently blocked an IP editor there for edit warring after they continuously deleted sourced information in favor of incorrect info. They’ve returned using the same IP address, as well as a new IP, and are continuing the same pattern. Article protection may be needed, if possible. Thanks. NJZombie ( talk) 19:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Ok so thank you for the venue advice at the end there but just for record I see from the first part you thought the header was a vandalism report. No, what I thought you noticed was that I picked somebody at the recently active admins list and made a post to their talk page. The header was me in a fit of madness hitting publish on a half-written ANI post somewhere in this sequence of events.(I changed the header). Sounds like in your opinion posting to ANI or AN would have been better. In any event, that was a much better and more detailed answer to the question than I was expecting, so thank you for that.
