I cannot supply evidence of paid editing without violating WP:OUTING and a confidentiality agreement. However, even the press has noted this editor - by name - appears to have had advanced knowledge of the Clinton VP selection. Although I perhaps should not have specifically said "paid", the COI and circumstantial evidence should stand on their own I think. Thank you. 173.161.39.97 ( talk) 15:59, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
After receiving two concurring opinions here and here on the clear anti-Stein bias of the page I added the "systemic bias" tag to the page (which is not supposed to be removed) and began tagging all the disputed claims that have been raised on the talk page by other users and by myself, but ignored. VictoriaGrayson has since vandalised the page: [2] SashiRolls ( talk) 15:16, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm sorry NeilN but how can these two be permitted to own the page like this? Is there nobody who will check this abuse? I appeal to you because it seems it is you who given VictoriaGrayson the authority she is currently abusing. SashiRolls ( talk) 15:26, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
For information NeilN, others are beginning to get interested on the Jill Stein page. Snooganssnogans, as a result, has asked for full page protection. In response, I have pointed out his repeated edit wars in the last two months (4 editors) and asked that consideration be given to banning him from the topic Request. I also said there may be concerns about WP:CANVASSING. I fear this last bit may need to be taken seriously. I would ask you to consider acknowledging you have been contacted about these concerns. Also, thanks for posting the Signposts articles to your page; wikipedia is quite a universe! SashiRolls ( talk) 03:08, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Though WP:DFTT is probably also a solution, I think that the continuing BLP violations of this user needs a talk page block. Zzuuzz made a good faith effort to engage, and it is clear that we have either a delusional individual or a troll (most likely the latter) but now Zzuuzz is probably too involved to close or invoke a further block. You were, I think, peripherally involved in blocking the IP that I think is the same user, so perhaps you could swing over there and assess? Montanabw (talk) 01:46, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

NeilN, I hope you can now contribute thoughtfully to Wikipedia. Remember you are still TBANed from all talk pages, and all edits must be repeated reversions to restore unsourced COPYVIO in BLP articles, and must add the words "Jimmy lik3 gayz!!!111", broadly construed. Secret edits to noticeboards to replace all the names listed in closed reports to be against your enemies are allowed, since no ever notices that if you do this while signed-out. And please remember to use edit summaries with caps lock on. Welcome to Wikipedia. -- A D Monroe III ( talk) 16:35, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
What I should have said was that it's unreasonably heavily-edited compared to other articles under pending protection, although it looks like you're right: I looked for a recently-released movie that isn't under any kind of protection and yup, there are plenty of similarly-iffy edits from new and/or anonymous users there, too.

Hello NeilN. This editor seems like a sockpuppet of User:Exciting2015 to me who has been repeatedly creating sockpuppets, edit-warring and disrupting. Please note that he's a very new account who has limited his edits merely to Kashmir-realted articles like this one and of Kashmiri separatist leaders like Geelani and Andrabi just like Exciting2015. He has made grammatical and spelling mistakes like him as well. Not only that, just like Exciting2015 he gives reasons that aren't even related to what he is doing and is dowright not true. This can be seen here [5] where he removes properly and reliably sourced content about action against police officers saying that the Education Minister asserted there is no ban on newspapers (even though the section doesn't mention any ban on newspapers and is about action against police officers) and it was not reliable (even though multiple well-reputed and reliable sources are used). In addition, he hasn't cared to discuss anything with anyone at all even though he tells others to do it and is edit-warring with multiple people, just like Exciting2015. The only thing he does on the talk page is make an edit request, just like Exciting 2015 and his socks who only made edit requests or page protection requests. This editor's behaviour seems stronly familiar with that of Exciting2015. I cannot understand how to make a proper sockpuppet investigation request, therefore I am asking you to do it. Thank you. DinoBambinoNFS ( talk) 11:34, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
He has been constantly creating sockpuppets. I doubt this will be the last time he socks. Please keep a watchful eye on articles related to Kashmiri nationalism and separatists to catch him in case he creates another account, these articles are the one he usually edits. His behaviour is always familiar so I doubt he will be difficult to find if he resurfaces. If I find anyone with this behaviour in future then I'll report to you. Thank you.

I am a little disappointed that you decided to block user:Jgrantduff without taking the time to explain what it was about his behaviour that was problematic. I'm sure you are aware that one of the big issues for Wikipedia is retaining content creators of all types, especially with those editors who are capable of producing useful content without having fully developed the skills to interact with other editors. I have had my own difficulties with Jgrantduff; his insertion of undesirable markup took many, many hours of work to identify and clean up, but I supported him as an editor and cleaned up after him - recognising that the majority of what he did was good work, and I made the effort to communicate that some of his effort was unwelcome and, eventually the message seemed to be understood. He never engaged with me, but I managed to communicate all the same. I understand that as an administrator the demands are many and often decisiveness is the order of the day, but carrot is always better than the stick and a little subtlety can go a long way. Best.

An user has been relocating "AD NAUSEAM" improper and unencyclopedic content to the West article, which is already becoming annoying and really disgusting.

The military person infobox is currently the one in use for militants as they don't have a separate infobox. One of the sections "Service years" isn't probably fit for a militant as service years means the time someone spends serving a country's armed force. Besides a military person is used for someone serving in a country's armed forces. I think it would be better if either a separate infobox is created for militants or another section titled "Activity years" is added to the military person infobox. I would like to request this change. Can you point me to the proper place for to request it? I will be thankful. DinoBambinoNFS ( talk) 10:58, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi NeilN. I noticed you reverted some moves of pages from "... Republic of China" to "...Taiwan" made by Coco977. I also noticed there was a RM discussion at Talk:Republic of China general election, 2016#Requested move 30 July 2016 which was closed as "no consensus" by EdJohnston. Would you mind taking a look at List of political parties in Taiwan because some it looks like that not only the page has been moved from List of political parties in the Republic of China, but that the move was a copy and paste move which lost quite a bit of the article's edit history which is now found at List of political parties in the Republic of China (1912–49)? Whether the move from ROC to Taiwan is acceptable is something probably best left to be resolved through discussion, but the dumping the edit history seems wrong. There are now redirect for "List of political parties in the Republic of China" created which have no record of any edits prior to the page be created was also seems wrong. FWIW, I only have this on my watchlist because I was checking non-free images and found some had been inappropriately used in the "List of political parties in the Republic of China". -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:16, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
I was concerned to read your remarks on the admin noticeboard. You say "you started editing with this account yesterday and have focused on Murder of Seth Rich". Since I started editing only yesterday, surely I would not have had time to do much else? But more importantly, can you justify your assertion that "the pushback and warnings you received were well-deserved", because I cannot see that at all. Can you point to edits that were problematic or not up to scratch?

Neil, If User:Rockypedia has violated DS at Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, he/she should self-rv. If he/she refuses to do that and is not sanctioned for it, then I think it's reasonable for me to request a dispensation from the requirement moving forward as well. It doesn't seem reasonable for me to adhere to a requirement that isn't enforced. CFredkin ( talk) 00:29, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi Neil. Thanks for not blocking me for a "hint of snark". :) Seriously, do you have any suggestion what to do when editors keep putting back a POV tag atop the main Donald Trump article against objections from multiple other editors, after the POV tag has already been up for days at this high-profile article? There are plenty of editors engaged in discussing how to improve the lead, so it seems overkill to maintain the tag until the tag proponents get their way (so to speak). I mean they can do RFCs, or install an inline tag, et cetera. Anythingyouwant ( talk) 01:48, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Neil, Gouncbeatduke has repeatedly restored the same content to Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016:
An edit I made to consolidate sections and remove redundant content was reverted at this article. The revert had the effect of restoring the redundant content (reference to March 2016 letter). I notified the editor of the issue and requested a self-rv, but that was disregarded. The editor has been previously notified that discretionary sanctions are in effect at the article.
The content was removed again by another editor and recently restored again by Gouncbeatduke with edit summary: removal had no consensus on talk page. I don't believe this is consistent with DS requirements. CFredkin ( talk) 15:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
An editor at the Donald Trump talk page has raised an interesting question. If the tag atop the article is removed because of a good-faith belief that the removal criteria are satisfied (see the documentation and [12] and [13]), then would a firm consensus be required to revert the tag back in? I strongly believe that the stated reasons for the tag have been fully addressed, that the lead accurately summarizes the article body, and that no one has identified any problematic section of the article body where a section tag should be inserted. Can you please tell us whether the tag can keep being put atop the article without any consensus to do so, much less a firm consensus? Thanks. Anythingyouwant ( talk) 16:01, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Anscar Chupungco , Ruperto Santos , Miguel García Serrano Ephraim Fajutagana , Bernardito Auza Jose C. Abriol (notability issues) Dennis Villarojo Sergio Utleg Jesus Tuquib Diosdado Talamayan Pedro Paulo Santos Francisco San Diego Alberto Ramento Alberto Jover Piamonte José S.

Du Jesus Dosado Rafael Donato as per wikipedia notes on Religious leaders notability :
In general, an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. In particular, an individual will often meet notability guidelines if they: Are the head of a major Religion. Played an important role in a significant religious event which itself received considerable coverage in sources. Made a material contribution to the Philosophy of religion that is indisputably attributed to them. Were recognized by their peers as an authoritative source on religious matters/writing. Conversely, brief descriptions in genealogical records or church histories of specific individuals are not considered specific indicators of notability. To this end, more than just a church record of a Bishop existing is required to establish notability.
I believe these Bishops are best presented in a list, rather than have individual pages. Raabbustamante ( talk)

Hi NeilN: I have been doing some edits on mostly occupational therapy related pages but I still consider myself pretty new around wikipedia. I just made a few edits on the mental health section of the Wikipedia occupational therapy page but they were reverted back to the original. I know that some students attempted the same before and ran into some problems. I was wondering if you could please advise me regarding how to be successful with adding some changes. The page is in clear need of updating and mental health services have been highlighted in several new rehabilitation legislation as they affect the disabled, veterans returning home, homeless, etc. I will appreciate any feedback.

I am on my phone because my laptop is down and I know where I can get better references so I removed the dead ones went to add new references and couldn't because the 2 editors got revert happy which caused edit conflicts, no I couldn't add while I was removing on my Droid it locks up when I have more than 1 tab open on chrome so I was trying find the new reference copy it open the article and add it back.

Just to be clear, the following material hasn't been self-reverted yet:
“ | The poor results exacerbated disagreements between Trump and Harrah's, [1].... The high-roller suites were seldom used and Trump tried to expand his operation, ultimately owning three casinos in Atlantic City. His revenues at Trump Plaza declined in 1990 when he opened the competing Trump Taj Mahal. [2] These two properties filed a pre-packaged bankruptcy in March 1992. [3] Trump sold the Plaza in 2013 and it closed in 2014. | ” |

Could you please explain to me either here or my talk page about what constitutes vandalism. I seem to be getting conflicting advise from you and other administrators through the years and I don't want this to happen again. We have editors try to do this in tennis articles and it's always been vandalism. A case would be like if we suddenly see Novak Djokovic career statistics blanked and redirected to another article we revert it instantly. If it happens again we tag it as vandalism, report the guy, and revert him on sight. Never a problem and I deal with it off and on. What makes this Cryptid article different? I'm not talking about my last edit (which I was going to self-revert but it got protected)... I'm talking about the blanking of the entire contents. Why is it vandalism in some cases but not others? Does it just depend on the administrator? Is it the type of article? Is it different if it's a new editor rather than an old editor? It really is confusing when not just part of the content is removed, but all of it. I read the vandalism topic and it seemed to support me so I'm more confused now. Thanks.

I felt it was better to continue the discussion here. I found the "Show more" button, and also found the YouTube] Terms Of Service. And from what I can see there the standard YouTube license does not allow making screenshots from videos and uploading elsewhere (start by reading section 8.1 of the TOS and then section 5.1). Because section 8.1A of the YouTube TOS says "to each user of the Service, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access your Content through the Service, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform such Content to the extent permitted by the functionality of the Service" (my emphasis), section 5.1L says "you agree not to access Content for any reason other than your personal, non-commercial use solely as intended through and permitted by the normal functionality of the Service, and solely for Streaming", and section 5.1M says "You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content". And since YouTube doesnt have a button that takes a screenshot and uploads it to Wikimedia Commons, making a screenshot and uploading it to Commons violates the TOS.

Correct me if I am wrong, but edit warring is "when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions". It is my contributions that have been overridden, not Grayfell's. I did not override anyone's contributions. I contributed several hours worth of carefully cited neutral-point-of-view material. My contributions have been deleted/censored without any just cause. Now a Wikipedia administrator is accusing me of almost starting an edit war? I insist that my edits be restored immediately unless they violate the rules of editing wikipedia, and if they do violate those rules, then please explain which rules were violated and please also remove all of the non-neutral opinions of the opponents of Nazi Gun Control Theory, such as the claims that Nazi Gun Control Theory is "preposterous" and "counterfactual history" that appear in the opening paragraphs of the article, if the opinions of the proponents of Nazi Gun Control theory cannot also be communicated alongside the views of the opponents of the theory. Grayfell is violating the wikipedia policy of neutral point of view by only allowing the perspective of the opponents of the theory that the page is about to be posted on the page, and by preventing the views of the proponents of the theory from explaining what the theory theorizes somewhere in the article about the theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.20.133 ( talk) 20:26, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

So, I've been working on a draft to supersede a non-existent article that existed only as a redirect. It didn't work out at all for me. I thought it may be due to the redirect so I move the redirect away from the original space to User:Mr rnddude/Research/Battle of Histria 2, it's empty content because it only existed as a redirect. I then tried to move my draft again but it still wouldn't let me. I then moved my draft from my user space to draft space; Draft:Battle of Histria, and then from there tried to move it to article space, and still no. So, rather than play around with this any further I've come to you. Things that may need doing, well delete User:Mr rnddude/Research/Battle of Histria 2 and the redirect of User:Mr rnddude/Research/Battle of Histria, then move the draft into mainspace... if that is possible. The draft is Draft:Battle of Histria. Sorry for the wrecking ball attempt at a move there... mea cupla shouldn't have tried to invent a solution where one is unavailable.

Full protection: Mass defacing raid imminent
A white supremacist group from 4chan plans to make various changes to the alt right page in the near future if they have not already. They are doing this because they believe that after Hillary Clinton makes a speech, people will search this page up. They want to spread as much misinformation as possible to show them in a positive light despite whether the information they add is truthful or not. I cannot add a link or a picture to prove it, I am new and it is not allowing me to do this for reasons unknown to me. The raid is originating on 4chan, which is blacklisted, so I cannot link that page. I tried posting a screen cap as well, but it would not let me and gave me error messages I don't understand.
"Do any of you guys have a wikipedia account that has made over 10 edits on wikipedia? We need to deface the Alt-Right wikipedia page immediately after Hillary's speech but it's semi-protected. /info/en/?search=Alt-right"
This the OP of the thread made on 4chan, you should be able to find the thread if you google this exact quote. The thread will be archived for a day or so after it expires. A word of warning though, this website has NSFW content that may be disturbing to some viewers, view at your own risk.
I advise that this page be protected to save trouble and time. I would be obliged to post a picture and a link if I were instructed how to do so without being denied access.
Thank you,

User has been unformally warned [ here] about personal attacks and adding unsourced info, I did unformal as I thought it was just a simple misunderstanding but I got [ this] response, I responded with [ this] which caused me to remove part of my own comment that I corrected [ here], which got [ this] response. I left it at that and thought nothing more about it as clearly this talk was pointless until these edits [ here] removing content for no reason "note his comment for removal instead of a valid reason and note it has since been pointed out it was doubled on the page and removed by another user with the reason" and [ here] tonight reverting another editors Grammer correction which should not have been done. I was going to issue a formal warning this time but I think it is ill advised after the last time I tried to talk to them.

I have never edit warred, I have never vandalized, I have followed everything to the letter and came to you when I wasn't sure. This IP has been reverted by me, another user and has been told there is a consensus by another user for that to be on those articles. If you honestly think NeilN that I am not being truthful with my Editting history then you block me. I can't find the consensus in the Wrestling Project, I have reached out to other editors that would know about it and where it is. I know it was reached before I was here. You do what you need to do. Clearly by[ this] comment after they were told there is a consensus I see what this is about, so if you truly feeling I edit warred or OWNED then block me. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 04:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
I have never warred Neil after 2 reverts I have come to you for your advise and to see if I am wrong, I wasn't wrong this time and I know the consensus exists. I have been made out to be a liar and accused of OWN and edit warring and I am not a liar or a vandal or an OWNER, so with that said just block me because this when thing has now destroyed the credibility that I gave worked to earn for 6 months, that IP did that shit on purpose and their comment proved it. I reverted a similar edit on one of the title pages earlier by an editor who gave the same reasoning and I wish I could remember which one. This was done on purpose. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 04:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Then block me Neil, I did what I knew was right. I have been involved with 3 damn ANI over OWN behavior why the hell would I do it? I wouldn't and didn't.

I have users pissed at me because of the havoc that IP caused on their user pages when I went to see if they knew where that consensus was. 6 damn months down the drain, he was vandalizing those pages by removing that information that had a consensus and I stand by that, I've never even had a damn warning missed to me in 6 months and over 1000 edits and now because of all of this I am now made to be the very things I have fought against. I was set up and it worked. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 06:14, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
[ Here] is the other IP it started with that I had reverted and told not to remove before this second IP started, I knew there were 2. I was set up, the comments on both IPs removals are exactly the same. It was done on purpose to get it to look like I was the problem and was in the wrong, when I wasn't.[ Here] is where another user they targeted reverted the first IP too for those removals, the same user who agreed about the consensus on the talk page, and same user they made the comment too about us ganging on IPs before you banned them, this was all a set up. There is the proof, same person 2 IPs that one back in [ May] knew about The Wrestling Project, that info on those articles had been there before that.

Hi there NeilN, thanks for your note on the Talk page of the Sri Chinmoy article about Wikipedias policy about not segregating off information into a 'controversial' type section. I would like to ask about Wikipedias policy or opinion about non biographical opinion or claims about a person in the biography section of an article? Please as you are a Wikipedia administrator could you give an opinion/advice on the second half of the paragraph on the Sri Chinmoy page in the biography section that starts after reference (53)with the sentence 'In 2009 Jayanti Tamm published....perceptions'. I feel the information there although cited is not actually about Sri Chinmoy's life and not appropriately placed for a biography section. Any suggestions would be very welcome and thank you in advance. I also asked softlavender the same question but would very much appreciate hearing from an administrator. Thank you.

Hi NeilN, yesterday i sent a page protection application because i tought the orphan thing on top of the page was vandalism. After reading everything, i saw that i was mistaken. Afterwards, you sent me a message that the page could be deleted because i was talking about myself, which i was not. I was talking about a professional basketball player that i personally look up to, and i had the sources to write a page about him. So what i am asking you now is, will the page get deleted or will it stay in its place? Impuls20 ( talk) 12:46, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi Neil. Are you willing to assess whether there's consensus at Talk:Donald Trump#RfC: Donald Trump's false campaign statements or if not find another experienced editor who is? I thought of you since you've been playing admin on that page from time to time. (But perhaps not editing, so maybe uninvolved?) I added an entry at WP:ANRFC but noticed that there's a huge backlog there. It would be nice to get some closure on this matter before the November election, ha. -- Dr. Fleischman ( talk) 17:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
User:DrFleischman and User:Euryalus, I hate to be the skunk at the garden party, but a close at this point would be very premature, IMO. The RFC was only started four days ago, and there continues to be active discussion and interest. I think this one should remain open at least for the default duration of 30 days. I for one just got back from a five-day vacation of hiking, biking, and swimming in Maine (yippee!), and so have not had time yet to fully participate in the RFC beyond objecting to having footnotes put into the lead (I still have no idea if Dr. Fleischman is willing to forgo footnotes in the lead). Moreover, depending on what I find, it may be useful to more-widely publicize this RFC, given the extraordinary nature of the proposed edit to the lead of this very high-profile BLP (i.e. "Many of his statements...have been...false"). Incidentally, this RFC is about the lead, whereas a separate talk page section is discussing a draft section of the article on the same subject, and I regret that the discussion about the lead could not await the outcome of the discussion about the article body (which the lead is supposed to summarize), but I guess that's the way it is, and I am willing to fully address both matters simultaneously and independently. But could User:DrFleischman at least "please clarify the proposed sources in the RFC statement" as I have already requested, so that readers can understand what the proposed sources are beyond the two that are acknowledged to be insufficient?

Hello NeilN. This editor seems like a sockpuppet of User:Exciting2015 to me who has been repeatedly creating sockpuppets, edit-warring and disrupting. Please note that he's a very new account who has limited his edits merely to Kashmir-realted articles like this one and of Kashmiri separatist leaders like Geelani and Andrabi just like Exciting2015. He has made grammatical and spelling mistakes like him as well. Not only that, just like Exciting2015 he gives reasons that aren't even related to what he is doing and is dowright not true. This can be seen here [5] where he removes properly and reliably sourced content about action against police officers saying that the Education Minister asserted there is no ban on newspapers (even though the section doesn't mention any ban on newspapers and is about action against police officers) and it was not reliable (even though multiple well-reputed and reliable sources are used). In addition, he hasn't cared to discuss anything with anyone at all even though he tells others to do it and is edit-warring with multiple people, just like Exciting2015. The only thing he does on the talk page is make an edit request, just like Exciting 2015 and his socks who only made edit requests or page protection requests.

He has been constantly creating sockpuppets. I doubt this will be the last time he socks. Please keep a watchful eye on articles related to Kashmiri nationalism and separatists to catch him in case he creates another account, these articles are the one he usually edits. His behaviour is always familiar so I doubt he will be difficult to find if he resurfaces. If I find anyone with this behaviour in future then I'll report to you. Thank you.

Even the user Dhinawda is lying about the source. Please check it for your self. The source does not say Galmudug control Districs. It says Galmudug control its southern part.
This is the true information about the city: " The city of Galkayo is divided into two areas, separated by a distinct boundary, with the main nor thern portion ruled by the Puntland autonomous Government, and its southern part govern ed by the Galmudug State."

I am a little disappointed that you decided to block user:Jgrantduff without taking the time to explain what it was about his behaviour that was problematic. I'm sure you are aware that one of the big issues for Wikipedia is retaining content creators of all types, especially with those editors who are capable of producing useful content without having fully developed the skills to interact with other editors. I have had my own difficulties with Jgrantduff; his insertion of undesirable markup took many, many hours of work to identify and clean up, but I supported him as an editor and cleaned up after him - recognising that the majority of what he did was good work, and I made the effort to communicate that some of his effort was unwelcome and, eventually the message seemed to be understood. He never engaged with me, but I managed to communicate all the same. I understand that as an administrator the demands are many and often decisiveness is the order of the day, but carrot is always better than the stick and a little subtlety can go a long way. Best.

The military person infobox is currently the one in use for militants as they don't have a separate infobox. One of the sections "Service years" isn't probably fit for a militant as service years means the time someone spends serving a country's armed force. Besides a military person is used for someone serving in a country's armed forces. I think it would be better if either a separate infobox is created for militants or another section titled "Activity years" is added to the military person infobox. I would like to request this change. Can you point me to the proper place for to request it? I will be thankful. DinoBambinoNFS ( talk) 10:58, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi NeilN. I noticed you reverted some moves of pages from "... Republic of China" to "...Taiwan" made by Coco977. I also noticed there was a RM discussion at Talk:Republic of China general election, 2016#Requested move 30 July 2016 which was closed as "no consensus" by EdJohnston. Would you mind taking a look at List of political parties in Taiwan because some it looks like that not only the page has been moved from List of political parties in the Republic of China, but that the move was a copy and paste move which lost quite a bit of the article's edit history which is now found at List of political parties in the Republic of China (1912–49)? Whether the move from ROC to Taiwan is acceptable is something probably best left to be resolved through discussion, but the dumping the edit history seems wrong. There are now redirect for "List of political parties in the Republic of China" created which have no record of any edits prior to the page be created was also seems wrong. FWIW, I only have this on my watchlist because I was checking non-free images and found some had been inappropriately used in the "List of political parties in the Republic of China". -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:16, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Neil, If User:Rockypedia has violated DS at Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, he/she should self-rv.

Hi Neil. Thanks for not blocking me for a "hint of snark". :) Seriously, do you have any suggestion what to do when editors keep putting back a POV tag atop the main Donald Trump article against objections from multiple other editors, after the POV tag has already been up for days at this high-profile article? There are plenty of editors engaged in discussing how to improve the lead, so it seems overkill to maintain the tag until the tag proponents get their way (so to speak). I mean they can do RFCs, or install an inline tag, et cetera. Anythingyouwant ( talk) 01:48, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Neil, Gouncbeatduke has repeatedly restored the same content to Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016:
An edit I made to consolidate sections and remove redundant content was reverted at this article. The revert had the effect of restoring the redundant content (reference to March 2016 letter). I notified the editor of the issue and requested a self-rv, but that was disregarded. The editor has been previously notified that discretionary sanctions are in effect at the article.
The content was removed again by another editor and recently restored again by Gouncbeatduke with edit summary: removal had no consensus on talk page. I don't believe this is consistent with DS requirements. CFredkin ( talk) 15:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
An editor at the Donald Trump talk page has raised an interesting question. If the tag atop the article is removed because of a good-faith belief that the removal criteria are satisfied (see the documentation and [12] and [13]), then would a firm consensus be required to revert the tag back in? I strongly believe that the stated reasons for the tag have been fully addressed, that the lead accurately summarizes the article body, and that no one has identified any problematic section of the article body where a section tag should be inserted. Can you please tell us whether the tag can keep being put atop the article without any consensus to do so, much less a firm consensus? Thanks. Anythingyouwant ( talk) 16:01, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

In general, an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. In particular, an individual will often meet notability guidelines if they: Are the head of a major Religion. Played an important role in a significant religious event which itself received considerable coverage in sources. Made a material contribution to the Philosophy of religion that is indisputably attributed to them. Were recognized by their peers as an authoritative source on religious matters/writing. Conversely, brief descriptions in genealogical records or church histories of specific individuals are not considered specific indicators of notability. To this end, more than just a church record of a Bishop existing is required to establish notability.
I believe these Bishops are best presented in a list, rather than have individual pages. Raabbustamante ( talk)

Just to be clear, the following material hasn't been self-reverted yet:
“ | The poor results exacerbated disagreements between Trump and Harrah's, [1].... The high-roller suites were seldom used and Trump tried to expand his operation, ultimately owning three casinos in Atlantic City. His revenues at Trump Plaza declined in 1990 when he opened the competing Trump Taj Mahal. [2] These two properties filed a pre-packaged bankruptcy in March 1992. [3] Trump sold the Plaza in 2013 and it closed in 2014. | ” |

Could you please explain to me either here or my talk page about what constitutes vandalism. I seem to be getting conflicting advise from you and other administrators through the years and I don't want this to happen again. We have editors try to do this in tennis articles and it's always been vandalism. A case would be like if we suddenly see Novak Djokovic career statistics blanked and redirected to another article we revert it instantly. If it happens again we tag it as vandalism, report the guy, and revert him on sight. Never a problem and I deal with it off and on. What makes this Cryptid article different? I'm not talking about my last edit (which I was going to self-revert but it got protected)... I'm talking about the blanking of the entire contents. Why is it vandalism in some cases but not others? Does it just depend on the administrator? Is it the type of article? Is it different if it's a new editor rather than an old editor? It really is confusing when not just part of the content is removed, but all of it. I read the vandalism topic and it seemed to support me so I'm more confused now. Thanks.

Nothing like waking up to see a bunch of vandal edits to my talk page, thanks for locking that down! RickinBaltimore ( talk) 12:17, 18 August 2016 (UTC) |
I'm not sure what to do about this editor. Despite having been warned about this matter, he's been going around to many articles, unilaterally changing 'RoC' to 'Taiwan'. I've reverted his edits. He doesn't seem to understand that an RfC or series of RMs would need to be held to effect such a change, and seems to prefer change by fiat. RGloucester — ☎ 15:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Neil, P V Sindhu is a South Indian badminton player who is Telugu by ethnicity. Certain Ip addresses are giving her family as Jat which is a North Indian Aryan Surname. Kindly check these vandalism that is being done by these Ip Addresses. These Ip adresses are notorious for mentioning the same ethnicity at other articles possibly creating vandalism. Her place of Birth in the officially entered Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014 is mentioned as Secunderabad, a division of Hyderabad located in Telangana Region, India. [1] Mencherla is a wrong birth place without any source indication. Kindly look into the matter and take necessary action. -- Chintu89 ( talk) 16:39, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I felt it was better to continue the discussion here. I found the "Show more" button, and also found the YouTube] Terms Of Service. And from what I can see there the standard YouTube license does not allow making screenshots from videos and uploading elsewhere (start by reading section 8.1 of the TOS and then section 5.1). Because section 8.1A of the YouTube TOS says "to each user of the Service, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access your Content through the Service, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform such Content to the extent permitted by the functionality of the Service" (my emphasis), section 5.1L says "you agree not to access Content for any reason other than your personal, non-commercial use solely as intended through and permitted by the normal functionality of the Service, and solely for Streaming", and section 5.1M says "You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content". And since YouTube doesnt have a button that takes a screenshot and uploads it to Wikimedia Commons, making a screenshot and uploading it to Commons violates the TOS.

Hello NeilN,
As you know, this article has had problems for years with IP editors trying to add the name of a (then) 10 year old boy who was a suspect in setting the fire but never charged or convicted. There are no reliable sources. You semi-protected it a little over a year ago, and the disruption started again as soon as it expired. Can you extend it? Thanks.

No violation on Nazi Gun Control Theory article? How so? My edits have been removed, again, for no good reason except the editors' bias against the theory that the page is supposed to be about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.20.133 ( talk) 19:49, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
Correct me if I am wrong, but edit warring is "when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions". It is my contributions that have been overridden, not Grayfell's. I did not override anyone's contributions. I contributed several hours worth of carefully cited neutral-point-of-view material. My contributions have been deleted/censored without any just cause. Now a Wikipedia administrator is accusing me of almost starting an edit war? I insist that my edits be restored immediately unless they violate the rules of editing wikipedia, and if they do violate those rules, then please explain which rules were violated and please also remove all of the non-neutral opinions of the opponents of Nazi Gun Control Theory, such as the claims that Nazi Gun Control Theory is "preposterous" and "counterfactual history" that appear in the opening paragraphs of the article, if the opinions of the proponents of Nazi Gun Control theory cannot also be communicated alongside the views of the opponents of the theory. Grayfell is violating the wikipedia policy of neutral point of view by only allowing the perspective of the opponents of the theory that the page is about to be posted on the page, and by preventing the views of the proponents of the theory from explaining what the theory theorizes somewhere in the article about the theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.20.133 ( talk) 20:26, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi NeilN. I saw you blocked Biofrance per WP:NOTHERE. Just for reference, there is a Toniaureada who has a draft about Toni aureada in her sandbox.

Hi, looking at the range block report I see you recently blocked the 51.171.156.0/23 range. If you look at the history at Sean Dyche, there have been multiple IPs in this range making unconstructive edits. As I know next to nothing about range blocks, could you take a look at this and act accordingly? Thanks, Mattythewhite ( talk) 20:01, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for listing the edits you made to MH's talk page. Upon closer inspection it appears you were just trying to help resolve the issue. I'm sorry my comments came across as accusative - it was not my intention. This case is very frustrating to me, and I hope no one comes out of it with a lessened outlook wrt contributing to Wikipedia. I was and am still worried that people could target admins they don't like, but I will have to try to trust arb com to see through attempts to game the system and do the right thing.

New user Pittman440 is basically a VOA but not obvious enough yet to report to AIV. Can you take a look and if you agree, block as appropriate? He has only edited on the article John Newton (the guy who wrote " Amazing Grace"), putting in blatantly false and blatantly racially charged text: [28], [29]. Previously (today) edited as an IP, making those same edits: [30]. [31]. Has been warned twice, once by me on user-talk [32], once by another editor on article-talk [33]. Can you deal with this?

In your opinion, is there any difference between the huge removals of content by the above editor on the Citroën 2CV article, and the content that I removed, that resulted in large amounts of people screaming for sanctions against me, in ANI? I'm hoping that he doesn't get a free pass because he's an admin. (it made me laugh a little to see that he was an admin, based on his conduct and attitude, I guess that I would be suitable for adminship as well.) Spacecowboy420 ( talk) 06:19, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
So, I've been working on a draft to supersede a non-existent article that existed only as a redirect. It didn't work out at all for me. I thought it may be due to the redirect so I move the redirect away from the original space to User:Mr rnddude/Research/Battle of Histria 2, it's empty content because it only existed as a redirect. I then tried to move my draft again but it still wouldn't let me. I then moved my draft from my user space to draft space; Draft:Battle of Histria, and then from there tried to move it to article space, and still no. So, rather than play around with this any further I've come to you. Things that may need doing, well delete User:Mr rnddude/Research/Battle of Histria 2 and the redirect of User:Mr rnddude/Research/Battle of Histria, then move the draft into mainspace... if that is possible. The draft is Draft:Battle of Histria. Sorry for the wrecking ball attempt at a move there... mea cupla shouldn't have tried to invent a solution where one is unavailable. I also checked RM, I'm not sure they deal with RM's for userpages to mainspace. Mr rnddude ( talk) 09:12, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Full protection: Mass defacing raid imminent
A white supremacist group from 4chan plans to make various changes to the alt right page in the near future if they have not already. They are doing this because they believe that after Hillary Clinton makes a speech, people will search this page up. They want to spread as much misinformation as possible to show them in a positive light despite whether the information they add is truthful or not. I cannot add a link or a picture to prove it, I am new and it is not allowing me to do this for reasons unknown to me. The raid is originating on 4chan, which is blacklisted, so I cannot link that page. I tried posting a screen cap as well, but it would not let me and gave me error messages I don't understand.
"Do any of you guys have a wikipedia account that has made over 10 edits on wikipedia? We need to deface the Alt-Right wikipedia page immediately after Hillary's speech but it's semi-protected. /info/en/?search=Alt-right"
This the OP of the thread made on 4chan, you should be able to find the thread if you google this exact quote. The thread will be archived for a day or so after it expires. A word of warning though, this website has NSFW content that may be disturbing to some viewers, view at your own risk.
I advise that this page be protected to save trouble and time. I would be obliged to post a picture and a link if I were instructed how to do so without being denied access.
Thank you,

User has been unformally warned [ here] about personal attacks and adding unsourced info, I did unformal as I thought it was just a simple misunderstanding but I got [ this] response, I responded with [ this] which caused me to remove part of my own comment that I corrected [ here], which got [ this] response. I left it at that and thought nothing more about it as clearly this talk was pointless until these edits [ here] removing content for no reason "note his comment for removal instead of a valid reason and note it has since been pointed out it was doubled on the page and removed by another user with the reason" and [ here] tonight reverting another editors Grammer correction which should not have been done.

Both of you, is Wikipedia going to break because the hatnotes of a few articles aren't perfect? If not, I suggest you grab your favorite beverage, relax, step back, and let other editors weigh in during the next day. -- NeilN talk to me 04:27, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
I have never edit warred, I have never vandalized, I have followed everything to the letter and came to you when I wasn't sure. This IP has been reverted by me, another user and has been told there is a consensus by another user for that to be on those articles. If you honestly think NeilN that I am not being truthful with my Editting history then you block me. I can't find the consensus in the Wrestling Project, I have reached out to other editors that would know about it and where it is. I know it was reached before I was here. You do what you need to do. Clearly by[ this] comment after they were told there is a consensus I see what this is about, so if you truly feeling I edit warred or OWNED then block me. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 04:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
I have never warred Neil after 2 reverts I have come to you for your advise and to see if I am wrong, I wasn't wrong this time and I know the consensus exists. I have been made out to be a liar and accused of OWN and edit warring and I am not a liar or a vandal or an OWNER, so with that said just block me because this when thing has now destroyed the credibility that I gave worked to earn for 6 months, that IP did that shit on purpose and their comment proved it. I reverted a similar edit on one of the title pages earlier by an editor who gave the same reasoning and I wish I could remember which one. This was done on purpose. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 04:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Then block me Neil, I did what I knew was right. I have been involved with 3 damn ANI over OWN behavior why the hell would I do it? I wouldn't and didn't.

I have users pissed at me because of the havoc that IP caused on their user pages when I went to see if they knew where that consensus was. 6 damn months down the drain, he was vandalizing those pages by removing that information that had a consensus and I stand by that, I've never even had a damn warning missed to me in 6 months and over 1000 edits and now because of all of this I am now made to be the very things I have fought against. I was set up and it worked. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 06:14, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
[ Here] is the other IP it started with that I had reverted and told not to remove before this second IP started, I knew there were 2. I was set up, the comments on both IPs removals are exactly the same. It was done on purpose to get it to look like I was the problem and was in the wrong, when I wasn't.[ Here] is where another user they targeted reverted the first IP too for those removals, the same user who agreed about the consensus on the talk page, and same user they made the comment too about us ganging on IPs before you banned them, this was all a set up. There is the proof, same person 2 IPs that one back in [ May] knew about The Wrestling Project, that info on those articles had been there before that.

Hi there NeilN, thanks for your note on the Talk page of the Sri Chinmoy article about Wikipedias policy about not segregating off information into a 'controversial' type section. I would like to ask about Wikipedias policy or opinion about non biographical opinion or claims about a person in the biography section of an article? Please as you are a Wikipedia administrator could you give an opinion/advice on the second half of the paragraph on the Sri Chinmoy page in the biography section that starts after reference (53)with the sentence 'In 2009 Jayanti Tamm published....perceptions'. I feel the information there although cited is not actually about Sri Chinmoy's life and not appropriately placed for a biography section. Any suggestions would be very welcome and thank you in advance. I also asked softlavender the same question but would very much appreciate hearing from an administrator. Thank you.

Hi NeilN, yesterday i sent a page protection application because i tought the orphan thing on top of the page was vandalism. After reading everything, i saw that i was mistaken. Afterwards, you sent me a message that the page could be deleted because i was talking about myself, which i was not. I was talking about a professional basketball player that i personally look up to, and i had the sources to write a page about him.

Hi Neil. Are you willing to assess whether there's consensus at Talk:Donald Trump#RfC: Donald Trump's false campaign statements or if not find another experienced editor who is? I thought of you since you've been playing admin on that page from time to time. (But perhaps not editing, so maybe uninvolved?)

It would be nice to get some closure on this matter before the November election, ha. -- Dr. Fleischman ( talk) 17:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
User:DrFleischman and User:Euryalus, I hate to be the skunk at the garden party, but a close at this point would be very premature, IMO. The RFC was only started four days ago, and there continues to be active discussion and interest. I think this one should remain open at least for the default duration of 30 days. I for one just got back from a five-day vacation of hiking, biking, and swimming in Maine (yippee!), and so have not had time yet to fully participate in the RFC beyond objecting to having footnotes put into the lead (I still have no idea if Dr. Fleischman is willing to forgo footnotes in the lead). Moreover, depending on what I find, it may be useful to more-widely publicize this RFC, given the extraordinary nature of the proposed edit to the lead of this very high-profile BLP (i.e. "Many of his statements...have been...false"). Incidentally, this RFC is about the lead, whereas a separate talk page section is discussing a draft section of the article on the same subject, and I regret that the discussion about the lead could not await the outcome of the discussion about the article body (which the lead is supposed to summarize), but I guess that's the way it is, and I am willing to fully address both matters simultaneously and independently. But could User:DrFleischman at least "please clarify the proposed sources in the RFC statement" as I have already requested, so that readers can understand what the proposed sources are beyond the two that are acknowledged to be insufficient?

You were the first to oppose my merge request. And indeed, a complete merger would be in conflict with the articles of the former presidents as they also have these "Presidency"-articles.
