Care to have an opinion on the disagreement over the Rogue One plot summary? And happy new year! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popcornduff ( talk • contribs) 05:20, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
I seem to be getting 2017 off to a bad start. If you have the time or inclination, maybe you could check out the dispute on Carol (film)? (It's not specifically that I want someone to come and back me up on these things, btw - I trust your opinion as an editor of plot summaries so you might be able to point out where I'm going wrong, suggest alternatives, etc.) Popcornduff ( talk) 01:16, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Do I get annoyed? Sigh, I'm going to have to do something about my rep.
Just a couple of things to your generally good answers:
8. You would only risk being desysopped if you unblock a user who was CU-blocked. In other words, the block by the CheckUser has to expressly say it's a CU block, normally checkuserblock-account. A likely finding in and of itself does not prevent an administrator from unblocking.
12. Typically, only a non-admin clerk would request a merge, and, as Rob said, it would then normally be done by an admin clerk, not by a non-clerk-admin.
Finally, anything an SPI clerk can do a CheckUser can do.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:21, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
I don't want to disrupt the page, but I want you to know that I Oppose your adminship on the grounds that you forgot to add "Zombie" to the end of your username.
(In truth, I was going to create the username "NinjaPirateRobotZombie" back when I first registered, but didn't because I saw someone else had a remarkably similar name. I would have complimented your username then, but I didn't know the community well enough to be sure that a random "Hey, you got a cool username!" comment from a newb wouldn't end up causing a stink. So here I am now, the next time you showed up on my radar, saying in a very roundabout fashion: You got a cool username.) MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 06:10, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi NRP! If it would be helpful in the future, we've had user warning templates for quite some time which can be used to slap editors on the wrists when they violate various plot summary guidelines regarding word-count. There's Template:Uw-plotsum1 and Template:Uw-plotsum2. I think the consensus at the time was that anyone who continued to bloat plot summaries after the second warning could probably be construed as either edit-warring or editing disruptively depending on the specifics. Cheers! DonIago ( talk) 14:56, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your detailed answer to my question. I have decided to support your RfA after reading your thoughtful answer.
For your interest, the reason I asked that question was that I have been watching Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Instantnood/Archive for many years. The sockmaster was ArbCom-banned 10 years ago and in the last 5 years we're getting only about 2 reports a year, all based on behavioral evidence, and even I had been accused of being a sock of his.

Hey, NinjaRobotPirate! Once again, congrats on being promoted to Admin! I just thought I'd drop you a note that a series of IPs geolocating to Malaysia (the most recent at 115.132.175.211) has been active at Alexandra Chando lately. The M.O. is kind of similar to "our disruptive Malaysian IP friend" (though this time they seem to be changing dates without explanation, among other things) so I thought I'd let you know about it so you could monitor the situation...

Hi NRP. Regarding the date formats in the Bethany Mota article, I'm pretty sure that WP:DATERET takes second place to WP:DATETIES, and the lady is American. Favonian ( talk) 21:51, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
The date format chosen by the first major contributor in the early stages of an article should continue to be used, unless there is reason to change it based on strong national ties to the topic or consensus on the article's talk page.The same issue comes up regarding British/American spelling and as far as I can tell, nationality of the subject (for bios) usually wins.

Hi NinjaRobotPirate! I am more than happy to explain any edit that I make on an appropriate talk page, but I don't like being accused of disruptive editing. In fact, I have never seen anyone characterize the removal of content accompanied with an explanatory edit summary as disruptive editing. However, I do apologize for marking the edit in question as minor and I do appreciate you pointing it out. – Zntrip 00:32, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Im glad I finally am able to talk to an administrator. I was in Steppenwolf 1979-80 I was made aware that people had been going on the Steppenwolf Wiki site and removing data. Several editors that are not authorities on Steppenwolf have actually started to remove accurate data on the history of the band, they removed the Past Steppenwolf Members list, they keep removing data Im posting, then I got an editor to verify and post for me, another editor came on and disregarded my proof that the data I posted was associated with Steppenwolf. I have never witnessed anything like this. I am Glen Bui and I did sign up under a couple of Glen Bui's because I was having trouble logging in. you can go to magiccarpetrideinc.com and find data that is part of the Steppenwolf history... can you please stop these editors, I can submit to you any proof you need Thank you — Preceding

The editors disagreeing know nothing of the history of the band, I don't know why they keep deleting data. I've sent documented proof about the data I posted and then had an editor post after he researched it, then other editors came along and deleted what that editor posted. Some of these editors should be blocked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlenBui ( talk • contribs) 02:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

...at the Jennifer Hale article, where there is question about appropriate sourcing and statements regarding DOBs for a voice over celebrity, you are welcome. The incoming editor raise issue because when I began my editing, I was editing from IP. But I have clearly identified all edits as from me, and there is no warring, just a request, (i) that the two edits be clearly understood as separate, in any reversion counting—the first to the infobox (tweet supported month-day of birth, to which I have relented, with afixed better source needed tag), and the second to the main body text, regarding discrepant reports/suggestions of year of birth, which is still up in the air, (ii) that it be understood that all of my edites were fully edit-summary justified, and (iii) that I went to the trouble to start a Talk discussion, so as to move the matter from reversion to collegial, community editing. I have no horse in this race, except that BLP standards be maintained, that AGF applies (no knee jerk reverts by editors perceiving ownershop of articles), and that the article get better for the attention.

Hey NinjaRobotPirate. Would it be possible for you to userfy a bunch of pages to my userspace? The articles involved are the ones deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Singapore National Day Parade, 2016. I had a discussion with the deleting admin here who says it is OK if someone else userfies these. I found sources and coverage for each of these and would at least like to merge some of the verifiable content into the main article. Thank you. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 08:35, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ninja. Excuse me if the separating title above looks off. Loninappleton. Alsee mentioned something about a signed identifier for myself at top. Thanks for making the edits in my Draft:Signals Through The Flames film. I've made some progress. The American Film Institute should help notability. Elsewhere a University library has The Cambridge Companion To Brecht which references the film. Perhaps you can help with the text in description since it is a film entry and not about the theater group. I think I strayed away from thinking of the film as the topic. In a followup edit I can put in the links to the Cambridge Companion To Brecht ref. Thanks for your help. Example would be how to simply state that the film was listed in the two volumes. Would it be inline references after the title or in text such as 'The American Film Institute lists the film then inline ref, as does The Cambridge Companion to Brecht inline ref following? Loninappleton ( talk) 20:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
I appreciate the compliment but can only do things by rote. Perhaps my Sandbox entry was put into Draft too soon. :-) Regarding foreign languages, you show French on your user page. Perhaps there is a reference in Figaro or LeMonde from 1968 which references Living Theatre's Paradise Now performance shown in the film. Occupation of the Odeon Theatre during the May Day uprising is also shown in the film and noted in my description. I still didn't sign myself properly but another user has some advice for that which I have to review. 2602:301:77E9:1600:C52C:66FC:2043:60D7 ( talk) 23:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm going to proceed to add the AFI reference for any corrections. On signing: I continue to get that wrong. Would the whole phrase as it appears from you above in edit mode be just copied in as it looks? I see that I am logged in and will add the tildes for a proper signature. Loninappleton ( talk) 21:28, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
I'll put it in the box
Out of the box. I don't know if it's necessary but what I did was put that code (phrase) in a text file to retrieve and enter as a signature. Loninappleton ( talk) 21:53, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Question I have opened the cite a web source template and filled in what I could. The preview gave an error in date format. I simply quit the entry not knowing what to do. My question is, is there a tutor page with a screen shot of needed data and not the verbal plus code examples which I've found but not understood. A tutor page should straighten me out. Ideally another example of American Film Institute cited would work best since I've never done any of this. Even asking google did not give a screen shot-- just some examples of web pages.

Congratulations on the admin promotion, I did not realize you were even up for it! Anyway, 220.162.5.108 is adding unsourced and very poorly sourced POV content to Barbra Streisand articles. The specific nature of the problem is described at Talk:Hello,_Dolly!_(film)#Inappropriate_sources but it has now proliferated to other articles (especially Yentl (film)). The IP refuses to heed the warnings on his talk page. I was hoping you could deal it with because I don't want to spend the best part of an hour logging the entirety of his edits at ANI. Betty Logan ( talk) 08:33, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
The IP ( Special:Contributions/80.2.63.236) you blocked for persistent addition of unsourced material is the "Cause of death vandal" (so named because of a habit of adding the "death place/date"-parameters to infoboxes, with or without a cause of death; see these recent edits by the IP you blocked; [1], [2]), a vandal who is editing from IPs in and around Leeds, UK (see geolocation of the IP you blocked), and has been vandalising BLPs here for years, adding material that is not only unsourced but often pure fantasy or deliberately false. And thus should be blocked on sight. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 17:22, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
I cannot remember back that far, and any evidence from CU will no longer be available (and if there was that data it would not be local to enWP), and as I locked as spambot that indicates bot pattern editing, rather than targeted editing. If the user's editing is okay, then I think that we can AGF. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Cheers, hello. I'd ask, as an experienced editor, but now with the Admin chops, you have a very quick look in at the Ruby Ridge article—good news, no tensions or stand-offs.
I've just finished a first pass of citation checking, and normalizing the citation of the two major reports on which the article is based. The issues addressed include the appearance of the same report, cited in multiples different ways, leading to absolute confusion in in the references (solved by creation of a Biblio, and use of a short citation format in the inline citations); and the fact that these book length reports are often cited without page or section numbers, thus making the verification of material a PhD thesis, a matter only very partially addressed. Have a quick scan of Bibliograph and Reverences, to see the style/format resorted to, noting that most of what is there was already there, including the very long quotes, which I broke up and/or made smaller. (More on the use of these reports, perhaps, later.)
So, the article is in process—much unsourced/missourced material unearthed, and I am switching now to next phase, to begin filling all the "Who said this?" citation gaps that are there. (Big problem was end of paragraph citations, covering only the last sentence, if that.)
In any case, the request—could you, in particular, have a look at the "See also" section, and do quick clicks to see what you think should and should not be there, and (via deletions, if possible), guide me to what we should and should not allow to accumulate there? For instance, I do not think the MOVE wikilink useful—it barely, in my view, belongs the once in the article—and it appears that this section is becoming a dumping ground for groups with WP articles that would like to generate reader attention (i.e., that are unmentioned in the article, are only most tangentially related to the topic, but that are nevertheless listed here—e.g., groups that Weaver visited, and the associated Waco and McVeigh events, yes, but all the rest?).
Otherwise, on this same subject—any general tool to evaluate these wikilinks as to propriety, per WP guidelines/policies? Cheers, Le Prof Leprof 7272 ( talk) 07:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

When you have a moment, would you take a look at the recent edits on Black Hawk Down, please? I know I violated 3RR, and I am willing to take a hit for that, but the edit war has to stop and some semblance of order has to be established. I believe I was clear in my reasoning for why the characters in the film should not be linked to the real people – and I believe this is consistent with the reasoning for why this is not done in other "inspired by real events" films. In this specific case, some of these characters are combinations of real people, or are made to say and do things that they did not say or do. To link to real people is to imply that they are one and the same, which is misleading. At any rate, someone has to step in. Thanks. --- The Old Jacobite The '45 02:01, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I thank you for your message on my talk page, the source I added on Alien: Covenant was an error, I meant to add a fact press release on the website, I will return to this in the future after discussion in the talk page. I appreciate your position but I would briefly like explain that the edit warring warning on my page has been unavoidable as I have been removing unreliable sources from a user (TheOldJacobean). He has repeatedly failed to properly discuss the matter in the talk section and has removed sources equating to vandalism. As an editor of predominantly film articles, I find this behaviour unacceptable. Although I have been an editor for over three years, I still consider myself an amateur and have no idea how to deal with such situations, I quite frankly have no idea how to contact an administrator. He or she has utterly antagonised me and up until now the only way I have scene fit to deal with the issue has been to revert the article to what the research informs me. I thank you for your patience and hope that with assistance, I will be able to improve in the future. -- Warner REBORN ( talk) 18:16, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

There is one typo - I think you mean "talk things out" instead of "talk thinks out" - I only noticed it because I make typos like that all the time. I blame it on flat keyboards since I learned on that old tech known as a typewriter :-) Best regards. MarnetteD| Talk 03:14, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi NRP. I don't know if "From My Experience" is a full fledged internet age acronym but I thought it was more apropos than FYI :-) When I saw your post I thought I would let you know that one of these Nsmutte socks favored harassment techniques of Bonadea has been filing AFDs of their user page, talk page and articles they created. I and others have speedy tagged then and all (as far as I know) have been deleted. I am not saying that your post was wrong and I would want you to do the same in the future if that is your judgement. I just wanted to let you know what my experience has been. Cheers and enjoy your weekend. MarnetteD| Talk 07:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to reach you!!! What a relief!! I haven't edited in years... I had never heard of Hybrid Ice until,last week... Stumbled across a reference to them on youtube. I came right to Wikipedia, where the article claimed their self-titled album hit #5. Ok, I have a somewhat encyclopedic memory, and I had never heard,of them. I had no memory of the album. My wife, also 15 at the time of the album's release, and from the same town had never heard of them... So,I spent the last 3 days doing research on Billboard.com... Dicovered the album never charted in the Top 200. Having a Wikipedia article stating an album hit #5 when it never cracked the top 200,is a pretty big error. So I endeavored to correct it, but this Kellymoat person keeps undoing my edits. Moreover, the band's official site claims the album hit #5. I am merely trying to make sure that the information here in Wikipedia is historically accurate and not promoting a self-serving falsehood perputrated by the band's site. I have 3 degrees, including 1 in History, and graduated at the top of my class in that subject - I take it seriously. Thank you. Rocketman703 ( talk) 02:05, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
NinjaRobotPirate, this Kellymoat keeps reverting my changes to the HybridIce article. I have told them of my research, and the truth is clearly on my side... one cannot simply claim a band has a #5 album when they never even cracked the top 200. What can I do? I have "talked" with her(?) and she (?) keeps reverting me. Is there a way to block Kellymoat from editing the Hybrid Ice (band) or Hybrid Ice (album) articles?

Can you please block Darkknight2149f and delete the redirects from f to z. Those were all redirects that I created with the intention of creating a doppelganger account. However, Wikipedia only allowed me to create so many accounts at once. Now, someone who is not me created Darkknight2149f as an account (probably the troll) and now they have credibility because I redirected that page with this account, like all of my doppelgangers. Also, can you delete the redirect User:DarkknightMMCXLIX and any others I created that don't have an account attached to them. Dark Knight 2149 14:50, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! Are you an administrator or are you just a regular user like me? I'm assuming you are an administrator? Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 10:59, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
This is the first time ever I've had an issue with someone on wikipedia. In fact I wouldn't have created an account if I didn't have this issue. First, a silly question. Do you watch 24 Legacy? And if so, do you know who the Tony Almeida character is? Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 11:07, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Yesterday was the first time I learned anything about looking up revision histories, and edit warring, and all the Wikipedia lingo. So I disagree if I am accused of instigating an edit war. I just didn't understand why something I wrote was factually accurate kept getting deleted. To say my post was considered vandalism is a false accusation. I have never vandalized any article and I never will. There are three ip addresses that I could show up in..my primary work, my home, and my weekend job. I might as well as throw that out there. Now I will concede that Tony's role so far in Legacy has been extremely disappointing and his appearances seem extremely wasted and nothing has really happened since that failed interrogation. I registered on Wikipedia because I didn't understand what was going on and I never had any of my "good faith" post reverted. Worst case was the wording was changed which I didn't mind. With all this being said, the reason my revision was reverted was: it was more from an episode. What kind of an explanation is this??? All the information here is taken from episodes that a character has appeared in. Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 12:55, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
One sentence is not too much episode plot. If I wanted too much episode plot, I would have also added that he was dismissed by Rebecca and sent on his merry way the next episode. You can't deny that his interrogation failed. What are you going to do once the season ends? Are you going to delete other people's contribution as well? Are you even an administrator? I find it funny that you would follow me here to an administrator's page when I didn't even mention you by name. I was just trying to talk to this administrator to see how wikipedia works. While you're here you might as well as go to Tarot: witch of the black rose page and delete my contributions there as well. I changed the issue count from 97 to 103. Maybe you can delete that and cite that "changes can't be made until it ceases publication". Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 13:30, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Eventually the Tony page needs to be updated. It's already outdated as the "enhanced interrogation" already took place and failed. I am willing to wait until the series ends on the 17th and hoping me or someone else (probably someone else) updates the info. But I don't want to see additional information(assuming it's accurate) being deleted after the 17th (rewording and editing is fine) because that's denying other readers access to information about this character. I wonder if the 24 wikia page is like this...I'm going to go there and start a real and intentional edit war there now that I have some wiki experience Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 14:09, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
I disagree with what is considered trivial or not. But at some point after the 17th this will be revisited again. If saying an interrogation failed is trivial, then this entire article here might as well be trivial. Based on your logic, the summary Live another day blu ray extra is totally trivial and definitely way too wordy. So I'm going to wait and see how the remaining episodes play out. Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 14:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
So you are admitting you don't watch the show. In my opinion that makes you even less qualified to be reverting people's contributions like you have been. Right now this article is out of date. But like I said, I'll wait until the 17th and see what happens. Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 14:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

My problem with Adventures of the Little Koala is that the North Carolina IP Hopper keeps on removing categories involving CBS Television Studios and Cookie Jar (respective successors of Viacom and Cinar who produced the English dub of the show) and falsely claims that Cinar and Cookie Jar are not the same studio when they actually are according to their history. I already tried the talk page, but it didn't work. I also tried to request the page to be protected, that didn't work either. Maybe if that user had a backup source to claim its deletion of the info as requested by LordofMoonSpawn, I'd gladly believe the user, but since it continually failed to do so, I don't believe the user at all and never will. I recently gave the recent IP address a warning for trying to claim ownership of the article again. The user may come back to do it again under a different IP address as it always does and I don't want that to happen again. — FilmandTVFan28 ( talk) 06:44, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi NRP, could you please spare me a couple of minutes to fix this mess. An editor moved the article to Randamoozham (novel) to make way for a film article despite the fact that i) the film hasn't even been made yet; ii) the film article doesn't exist yet; iii) the famous novel would be the primary topic anyway even if it did. The move wasn't discussed and the editor has left a trail of redirects. I can sort those out but I can't do that until Randamoozham (novel) is moved back to Randamoozham.

Hi Ninja. Not sure what the confusion is, but the Wayback Machine link you posted to replace my own dead link replacement on the Thale (film) page is still a dead link. Neither the archive or original links you posted work. So you've basically reverted to a dead link. I don't actually find the relevant page listed on the Wayback Machine at all - but maybe that's just me being inept. The link I initially replaced the dead one with was to the author's own blog, where he says the page is no longer hosted at Empire since they dropped their blog pages. That seems the best option to me. No? Cheers Cardinal Wurzel ( talk) 11:43, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty frustrated with your intervention here. I've been trying very hard to make good faith efforts to resolve this dispute, and that should be abundantly evident to anyone that has paid attention to the dispute. I literally reverted my own edits today and have been trying to discuss them on the talk page. Prior to that I've been trying to make edits that represent a comprise, all of this for an editor so green or so provoking that he/she won't even indent and sign his/her comments after being politely asked to do so. For all of that patience, work, effort and restraint I am disappointed to see that you would template my talk page. I'm going to take the article of my watch page and stop editing it. But I'm going to tell you here, for an administrator, I am extremely disappointed with your lack of circumspection and due diligence. In the future I hope you will take your exercise your role with Wikipedia more responsibly. This kind of capricious and negligent behavior on the part of Wikipedia administration is why regular editors, who do a lot of good work that almost always goes unrecognized, get burnt out so easily. When you punish experienced editors trying to do good work, the quality of Wikipedia is what suffers the most in the end. - Scarpy ( talk) 16:20, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm frustrated too. Especially being insulted by being called green, and having my comments either ignored outright when I point to the earlier discussions already on the talk page and then the worse than that by being accused of a strawman position. Yeah, I'm new, so what? I thought wikipedia WANTED new people. Now I'm being slammed for being new?? Scarpy, you're being incredibly insulting and rude as I see it.

Long term vandal User:Zjec is suspected of using multiple IPs to vandalise talk pages and even harassing other users today.
These are the IP that he may used at one point:
Accordingly I intercepted his message boasting his troll job at French and Simple wiki:
In that message he claimed that he used the above IP addresses to vandalise while utilising the
85.87.209.81 (

WHOIS) address to exhaust administrator's attention and even deceiving them by self reporting his vandalised deeds, though I'm 50/50 on this. Startling to note that he used a Remote Access Tool to access all those computers to hide his tracks, according to himself.
Apparently his elaborate vandalism scheme partially succeeded as none of the admins realise the true nature of his scheme and his 85.87 IP remains at large. if his claims are true, this is the most adroit deception/lie used by a Wikipedia vandal ever IMHO.
Perhaps I can help you to issue warnings to him against sock puppetry and unauthorised computer intrusion? Vitt56 05:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey. You asked me why I removed the "British" part from The Shining's page. The reason I did was because it was Produced, directed, and the screenplay was all by Stanley Kubrick who was American, based on Stephen King's 1977 novel The Shining, all the main actors and actresses were American, the music was by Americans, and it was distributed by Warner Bros. The only "British" parts were the Production companies, editing, and Cinematography, which, in my opinion, isn't worth a "British-American" title. But what do I know, I'm new here.

He made an accusation on the original discussion edit summary; so I had to respond. I clarified that it was a misinterpretation on my end; and since he cited WP:TALKO, I read the whole thing, and pointed out that editing indentation is not a crime as long as we don't edit content; nonetheless, I pointed out I mistook his line-break as two separate comments. I was responded to with a tangent; so i read WP:UNCIVIL and WP:IUC which told me to request a strike-out or deletion, and an Admin intervention. Since you were an admin on that page; I tagged you to verify whether i really intended malice with my edit, or he was going overboard with his WP:Uncivil. That is all, NinjaPR. I shall ignore him now. DA1 ( talk) 17:47, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Within 24 hours (13:48, June 13 - 04:18, June 14), one editor has made 38 separate edits to List of LGBT characters in television and radio. Characters have been transferred to a different section, some have been deleted. I restored four characters with explanation in the summary and this editor re-transferred / re-deleted them again, including disputing sources. Based on the only summary comments this editor provided, I don't think I or any other editor can reason with this person. It verges on disruptive editing. What recourse is there for this kind of situation? Thank you. Pyxis Solitary ( talk) 08:05, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
What I did [12] was to restore the article to the original version. This article was changed by user Soangry without any reason. See his first edition [13]. Then see the original version of this article [14] before his edition. He changed the staring information of infobox without any reference. I restored this change. Moreover, the leading of this article indeed claim "The Chinese–US co-production also stars Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe and Andy Lau." Hence, Andy Lau should be the major actor. Why changed this order. Miracle dream ( talk)

Hey,
Thanks for looking into 72.184.130.118's edits. Also, I recently came across Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#IP_genre_warrior, as I just had responded to the ANI thread directly below it, and noticed that the end result was you blocking a handful of /64 IPv6 ranges. After doing some digging around, I found that the /48 IPv6 range was once blocked for 3 months back in December.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 03:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Do I get annoyed? Sigh, I'm going to have to do something about my rep.
Just a couple of things to your generally good answers:
8. You would only risk being desysopped if you unblock a user who was CU-blocked. In other words, the block by the CheckUser has to expressly say it's a CU block, normally checkuserblock-account. A likely finding in and of itself does not prevent an administrator from unblocking.
12. Typically, only a non-admin clerk would request a merge, and, as Rob said, it would then normally be done by an admin clerk, not by a non-clerk-admin.
Finally, anything an SPI clerk can do a CheckUser can do.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:21, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

(In truth, I was going to create the username "NinjaPirateRobotZombie" back when I first registered, but didn't because I saw someone else had a remarkably similar name. I would have complimented your username then, but I didn't know the community well enough to be sure that a random "Hey, you got a cool username!" comment from a newb wouldn't end up causing a stink.

Hi NRP! If it would be helpful in the future, we've had user warning templates for quite some time which can be used to slap editors on the wrists when they violate various plot summary guidelines regarding word-count. There's Template:Uw-plotsum1 and Template:Uw-plotsum2. I think the consensus at the time was that anyone who continued to bloat plot summaries after the second warning could probably be construed as either edit-warring or editing disruptively depending on the specifics.

The date format chosen by the first major contributor in the early stages of an article should continue to be used, unless there is reason to change it based on strong national ties to the topic or consensus on the article's talk page.The same issue comes up regarding British/American spelling and as far as I can tell, nationality of the subject (for bios) usually wins.

Hi, Im glad I finally am able to talk to an administrator. I was in Steppenwolf 1979-80 I was made aware that people had been going on the Steppenwolf Wiki site and removing data. Several editors that are not authorities on Steppenwolf have actually started to remove accurate data on the history of the band, they removed the Past Steppenwolf Members list, they keep removing data Im posting, then I got an editor to verify and post for me, another editor came on and disregarded my proof that the data I posted was associated with Steppenwolf. I have never witnessed anything like this. I am Glen Bui and I did sign up under a couple of Glen Bui's because I was having trouble logging in. you can go to magiccarpetrideinc.com and find data that is part of the Steppenwolf history... can you please stop these editors, I can submit to you any proof you need Thank you — Preceding

...at the Jennifer Hale article, where there is question about appropriate sourcing and statements regarding DOBs for a voice over celebrity, you are welcome. The incoming editor raise issue because when I began my editing, I was editing from IP. But I have clearly identified all edits as from me, and there is no warring, just a request, (i) that the two edits be clearly understood as separate, in any reversion counting—the first to the infobox (tweet supported month-day of birth, to which I have relented, with afixed better source needed tag), and the second to the main body text, regarding discrepant reports/suggestions of year of birth, which is still up in the air, (ii) that it be understood that all of my edites were fully edit-summary justified, and (iii) that I went to the trouble to start a Talk discussion, so as to move the matter from reversion to collegial, community editing.

Hello Ninja. Excuse me if the separating title above looks off. Loninappleton. Alsee mentioned something about a signed identifier for myself at top. Thanks for making the edits in my Draft:Signals Through The Flames film. I've made some progress. The American Film Institute should help notability. Elsewhere a University library has The Cambridge Companion To Brecht which references the film. Perhaps you can help with the text in description since it is a film entry and not about the theater group. I think I strayed away from thinking of the film as the topic. In a followup edit I can put in the links to the Cambridge Companion To Brecht ref. Thanks for your help. Example would be how to simply state that the film was listed in the two volumes. Would it be inline references after the title or in text such as 'The American Film Institute lists the film then inline ref, as does The Cambridge Companion to Brecht inline ref following? Loninappleton ( talk) 20:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
I appreciate the compliment but can only do things by rote. Perhaps my Sandbox entry was put into Draft too soon. :-) Regarding foreign languages, you show French on your user page. Perhaps there is a reference in Figaro or LeMonde from 1968 which references Living Theatre's Paradise Now performance shown in the film. Occupation of the Odeon Theatre during the May Day uprising is also shown in the film and noted in my description. I still didn't sign myself properly but another user has some advice for that which I have to review. 2602:301:77E9:1600:C52C:66FC:2043:60D7 ( talk) 23:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Question I have opened the cite a web source template and filled in what I could. The preview gave an error in date format. I simply quit the entry not knowing what to do. My question is, is there a tutor page with a screen shot of needed data and not the verbal plus code examples which I've found but not understood. A tutor page should straighten me out. Ideally another example of American Film Institute cited would work best since I've never done any of this. Even asking google did not give a screen shot-- just some examples of web pages.

The IP ( Special:Contributions/80.2.63.236) you blocked for persistent addition of unsourced material is the "Cause of death vandal" (so named because of a habit of adding the "death place/date"-parameters to infoboxes, with or without a cause of death; see these recent edits by the IP you blocked; [1], [2]), a vandal who is editing from IPs in and around Leeds, UK (see geolocation of the IP you blocked), and has been vandalising BLPs here for years, adding material that is not only unsourced but often pure fantasy or deliberately false.

I cannot remember back that far, and any evidence from CU will no longer be available (and if there was that data it would not be local to enWP), and as I locked as spambot that indicates bot pattern editing, rather than targeted editing.

…@ NinjaRobotPirate: in the process of deciding on your nomination to admin was impressive—"You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"

Cheers, hello. I'd ask, as an experienced editor, but now with the Admin chops, you have a very quick look in at the Ruby Ridge article—good news, no tensions or stand-offs.
I've just finished a first pass of citation checking, and normalizing the citation of the two major reports on which the article is based. The issues addressed include the appearance of the same report, cited in multiples different ways, leading to absolute confusion in in the references (solved by creation of a Biblio, and use of a short citation format in the inline citations); and the fact that these book length reports are often cited without page or section numbers, thus making the verification of material a PhD thesis, a matter only very partially addressed. Have a quick scan of Bibliograph and Reverences, to see the style/format resorted to, noting that most of what is there was already there, including the very long quotes, which I broke up and/or made smaller. (More on the use of these reports, perhaps, later.)
So, the article is in process—much unsourced/missourced material unearthed, and I am switching now to next phase, to begin filling all the "Who said this?" citation gaps that are there. (Big problem was end of paragraph citations, covering only the last sentence, if that.)
In any case, the request—could you, in particular, have a look at the "See also" section, and do quick clicks to see what you think should and should not be there, and (via deletions, if possible), guide me to what we should and should not allow to accumulate there? For instance, I do not think the MOVE wikilink useful—it barely, in my view, belongs the once in the article—and it appears that this section is becoming a dumping ground for groups with WP articles that would like to generate reader attention (i.e., that are unmentioned in the article, are only most tangentially related to the topic, but that are nevertheless listed here—e.g., groups that Weaver visited, and the associated Waco and McVeigh events, yes, but all the rest?).
Otherwise, on this same subject—any general tool to evaluate these wikilinks as to propriety, per WP guidelines/policies? Cheers, Le Prof Leprof 7272 ( talk) 07:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

When you have a moment, would you take a look at the recent edits on Black Hawk Down, please? I know I violated 3RR, and I am willing to take a hit for that, but the edit war has to stop and some semblance of order has to be established. I believe I was clear in my reasoning for why the characters in the film should not be linked to the real people – and I believe this is consistent with the reasoning for why this is not done in other "inspired by real events" films. In this specific case, some of these characters are combinations of real people, or are made to say and do things that they did not say or do. To link to real people is to imply that they are one and the same, which is misleading. At any rate, someone has to step in. Thanks. --- The Old Jacobite The '45 02:01, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I tagged 1995 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with a merge template into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and since I also saw some referenced content (even though there are also parts that are not properly sourced) in Advanced Extremely High Frequency (satellite) I also suggested it to be merged into Advanced Extremely High Frequency. I was also puzzled at the speed the articles were being created. I understand now that they are just all copied from citizendium.org without the required attribution. The question is weather we should just delete the articles or add the needed attribution to it. Let me know if I can help with the clean-up.

I thank you for your message on my talk page, the source I added on Alien: Covenant was an error, I meant to add a fact press release on the website, I will return to this in the future after discussion in the talk page. I appreciate your position but I would briefly like explain that the edit warring warning on my page has been unavoidable as I have been removing unreliable sources from a user (TheOldJacobean). He has repeatedly failed to properly discuss the matter in the talk section and has removed sources equating to vandalism. As an editor of predominantly film articles, I find this behaviour unacceptable. Although I have been an editor for over three years, I still consider myself an amateur and have no idea how to deal with such situations, I quite frankly have no idea how to contact an administrator. He or she has utterly antagonised me and up until now the only way I have scene fit to deal with the issue has been to revert the article to what the research informs me. I thank you for your patience and hope that with assistance, I will be able to improve in the future. -- Warner REBORN ( talk) 18:16, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to reach you!!! What a relief!! I haven't edited in years... I had never heard of Hybrid Ice until,last week... Stumbled across a reference to them on youtube. I came right to Wikipedia, where the article claimed their self-titled album hit #5. Ok, I have a somewhat encyclopedic memory, and I had never heard,of them. I had no memory of the album. My wife, also 15 at the time of the album's release, and from the same town had never heard of them... So,I spent the last 3 days doing research on Billboard.com... Dicovered the album never charted in the Top 200. Having a Wikipedia article stating an album hit #5 when it never cracked the top 200,is a pretty big error. So I endeavored to correct it, but this Kellymoat person keeps undoing my edits. Moreover, the band's official site claims the album hit #5. I am merely trying to make sure that the information here in Wikipedia is historically accurate and not promoting a self-serving falsehood perputrated by the band's site. I have 3 degrees, including 1 in History, and graduated at the top of my class in that subject - I take it seriously. Thank you. Rocketman703 ( talk) 02:05, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
NinjaRobotPirate, this Kellymoat keeps reverting my changes to the HybridIce article. I have told them of my research, and the truth is clearly on my side... one cannot simply claim a band has a #5 album when they never even cracked the top 200. What can I do? I have "talked" with her(?) and she (?) keeps reverting me. Is there a way to block Kellymoat from editing the Hybrid Ice (band) or Hybrid Ice (album) articles?

Hi there! Are you an administrator or are you just a regular user like me? I'm assuming you are an administrator? Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 10:59, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
This is the first time ever I've had an issue with someone on wikipedia. In fact I wouldn't have created an account if I didn't have this issue. First, a silly question. Do you watch 24 Legacy? And if so, do you know who the Tony Almeida character is? Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 11:07, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Yesterday was the first time I learned anything about looking up revision histories, and edit warring, and all the Wikipedia lingo. So I disagree if I am accused of instigating an edit war. I just didn't understand why something I wrote was factually accurate kept getting deleted. To say my post was considered vandalism is a false accusation. I have never vandalized any article and I never will. There are three ip addresses that I could show up in..my primary work, my home, and my weekend job. I might as well as throw that out there. Now I will concede that Tony's role so far in Legacy has been extremely disappointing and his appearances seem extremely wasted and nothing has really happened since that failed interrogation. I registered on Wikipedia because I didn't understand what was going on and I never had any of my "good faith" post reverted. Worst case was the wording was changed which I didn't mind. With all this being said, the reason my revision was reverted was: it was more from an episode. What kind of an explanation is this??? All the information here is taken from episodes that a character has appeared in. Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 12:55, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
One sentence is not too much episode plot. If I wanted too much episode plot, I would have also added that he was dismissed by Rebecca and sent on his merry way the next episode. You can't deny that his interrogation failed. What are you going to do once the season ends? Are you going to delete other people's contribution as well? Are you even an administrator? I find it funny that you would follow me here to an administrator's page when I didn't even mention you by name. I was just trying to talk to this administrator to see how wikipedia works. While you're here you might as well as go to Tarot: witch of the black rose page and delete my contributions there as well. I changed the issue count from 97 to 103. Maybe you can delete that and cite that "changes can't be made until it ceases publication". Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 13:30, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Eventually the Tony page needs to be updated. It's already outdated as the "enhanced interrogation" already took place and failed. I am willing to wait until the series ends on the 17th and hoping me or someone else (probably someone else) updates the info. But I don't want to see additional information(assuming it's accurate) being deleted after the 17th (rewording and editing is fine) because that's denying other readers access to information about this character. I wonder if the 24 wikia page is like this...I'm going to go there and start a real and intentional edit war there now that I have some wiki experience Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 14:09, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
I disagree with what is considered trivial or not. But at some point after the 17th this will be revisited again. If saying an interrogation failed is trivial, then this entire article here might as well be trivial. Based on your logic, the summary Live another day blu ray extra is totally trivial and definitely way too wordy. So I'm going to wait and see how the remaining episodes play out. Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 14:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
So you are admitting you don't watch the show. In my opinion that makes you even less qualified to be reverting people's contributions like you have been. Right now this article is out of date. But like I said, I'll wait until the 17th and see what happens. Frank.chan1983 ( talk) 14:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

My problem with Adventures of the Little Koala is that the North Carolina IP Hopper keeps on removing categories involving CBS Television Studios and Cookie Jar (respective successors of Viacom and Cinar who produced the English dub of the show) and falsely claims that Cinar and Cookie Jar are not the same studio when they actually are according to their history. I already tried the talk page, but it didn't work. I also tried to request the page to be protected, that didn't work either. Maybe if that user had a backup source to claim its deletion of the info as requested by LordofMoonSpawn, I'd gladly believe the user, but since it continually failed to do so, I don't believe the user at all and never will. I recently gave the recent IP address a warning for trying to claim ownership of the article again. The user may come back to do it again under a different IP address as it always does and I don't want that to happen again. — FilmandTVFan28 ( talk) 06:44, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

An editor moved the article to Randamoozham (novel) to make way for a film article despite the fact that i) the film hasn't even been made yet; ii) the film article doesn't exist yet; iii) the famous novel would be the primary topic anyway even if it did.

Hi Ninja. Not sure what the confusion is, but the Wayback Machine link you posted to replace my own dead link replacement on the Thale (film) page is still a dead link. Neither the archive or original links you posted work. So you've basically reverted to a dead link. I don't actually find the relevant page listed on the Wayback Machine at all - but maybe that's just me being inept. The link I initially replaced the dead one with was to the author's own blog, where he says the page is no longer hosted at Empire since they dropped their blog pages.

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty frustrated with your intervention here. I've been trying very hard to make good faith efforts to resolve this dispute, and that should be abundantly evident to anyone that has paid attention to the dispute. I literally reverted my own edits today and have been trying to discuss them on the talk page. Prior to that I've been trying to make edits that represent a comprise, all of this for an editor so green or so provoking that he/she won't even indent and sign his/her comments after being politely asked to do so. For all of that patience, work, effort and restraint I am disappointed to see that you would template my talk page. I'm going to take the article of my watch page and stop editing it. But I'm going to tell you here, for an administrator, I am extremely disappointed with your lack of circumspection and due diligence. In the future I hope you will take your exercise your role with Wikipedia more responsibly. This kind of capricious and negligent behavior on the part of Wikipedia administration is why regular editors, who do a lot of good work that almost always goes unrecognized, get burnt out so easily. When you punish experienced editors trying to do good work, the quality of Wikipedia is what suffers the most in the end. - Scarpy ( talk) 16:20, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm frustrated too. Especially being insulted by being called green, and having my comments either ignored outright when I point to the earlier discussions already on the talk page and then the worse than that by being accused of a strawman position. Yeah, I'm new, so what? I thought wikipedia WANTED new people. Now I'm being slammed for being new?? Scarpy, you're being incredibly insulting and rude as I see it.

Do you recall this recent SPI? It's from JuanRiley. This was first detected from this IP that was linked to whim whom you blocked for evasion. Apparently he's still continuing to make disruptive edits, this being the most recent. And judging from his past history, he won't stop. ( N0n3up ( talk) 05:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC))
You blocked a range of IPs for two weeks, but the block expired and the disruption started up again with the following two IPs:
Can you reinstate the block with an escalated duration? Thanks in advance. Binksternet ( talk) 20:48, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi NRP. You blocked this user for continued disruption at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film. Despite the discussion having a clear no-consensus, they insist on changing the text ( [10] [11]) without the consensus to do so. I'd appreciate if you could take a look. Thanks.

Hi there, I listen to his radio show every day and he mentions it every now and again that his biggest and ultimate fear is that of snakes, I have these two links to prove it as well http://www.sapeople.com/2014/04/18/snakes-in-studio-radio-host-pranked-697/ http://www.channel24.co.za/The-Juice/You-have-to-watch-this-video-Darren-Whackhead-Simpson-face-to-face-with-his-biggest-fear-snakes-20150330 And he has stated that he is definitely not 4"11, although when you google "Darren simpson height" it shows a height of 1.8 metres.
So my information is correct, and if you don't mind allowing my edits. Isymilo ( talk) 14:24, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi NRP,
I remember you performed a range block, per an ANI request, on the IPs of a disruptive sockmaster not that long ago. Would you be willing to do the same for the IP range(s) of LTA Satt 2? I have listed quite a few of the individual IPs he has used down below the page. The ones list that start with 173/141/174, are older. Its the "2600:1003:xxxx" ones we're dealing with for some time now. Thanks in advance, - LouisAragon ( talk) 00:30, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi. I agree with you. I've attempted to engage him on the talk page of an article and on his talk page. Trust me, I'm done reverting. I've wasted an entire evening when I could have been working on articles, or dab pages or AfC. Regardless, thanks for the spank. Onel5969 TT me 03:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello NinjaRobotPirate. The two 66.87.* IPs who are warring on this article have now been reported at WP:AN3. Do you mind if I lengthen your semiprotection? Alternative would be a rangeblock (or two separate blocks) and that gets more complex. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 03:40, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
For Alien: Covenant it is becoming fairly plainly evident that Scott Free Productions is listed in the credits of the film as a British company participating in the Production. My plan is to bring it into the Lead section in the next day or two since it has been placed on the Talk page, and the Finance section of the Production details of the film. It should preferably be read as an Anglo-American film or British-American film at this time. ManKnowsInfinity ( talk) 15:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm hoping to solicit your feedback regarding a handout Wiki Ed is developing for students who want to work on articles about films: User:Ryan (Wiki Ed)/Films. It will be a print guide that supplements other resources and materials for student editors, like the interactive training and brochures that address broader aspects of editing, like etiquette, NPOV, citing sources, working in sandboxes, using the talk page, etc. This guide focuses only on aspects of editing required for contributing to articles about films assigned in classroom settings. We're hoping to get some feedback from the community by Monday, so we can send it off to the printer before the end of the month. I realize that's not a lot of time so no worries if you don't get to it. Thanks. -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 17:03, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Long term vandal User:Zjec is suspected of using multiple IPs to vandalise talk pages and even harassing other users today.
These are the IP that he may used at one point:
Accordingly I intercepted his message boasting his troll job at French and Simple wiki:
In that message he claimed that he used the above IP addresses to vandalise while utilising the
85.87.209.81 (
talk ·
contribs ·
WHOIS) address to exhaust administrator's attention and even deceiving them by self reporting his vandalised deeds, though I'm 50/50 on this. Startling to note that he used a Remote Access Tool to access all those computers to hide his tracks, according to himself.
Apparently his elaborate vandalism scheme partially succeeded as none of the admins realise the true nature of his scheme and his 85.87 IP remains at large. if his claims are true, this is the most adroit deception/lie used by a Wikipedia vandal ever IMHO.
Perhaps I can help you to issue warnings to him against sock puppetry and unauthorised computer intrusion? Vitt56 05:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey NPR,
Just a quick head's up that your edit here at Gary Martin (actor), caused this boo boo. I realize you were ferreting out some evaders (kudos!), but sometimes we throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Hi, 3 (t-h-r-e-e) persons are discussing the deletion of the review parameter from the {{ Allmovie title}} template. Until then, I am free to add it as much as you are free to eliminate it. I will not start an edit war for this. Meanwhile, you are one of the few editors who have so far deleted it, while for about one hundred other movie articles nobody has objected and therefore it is where still today is established by Wikipedia's policy and guidelines: among the external link templates.

Hello NinjaRobotPirate, why do you keep removing Columbia Pictures from distributing The Emoji Movie? You know that all Sony Pictures Animated films are distributed by Columbia Pictures. And you claim that I added false information in The Emoji Movie page. Well, I think you're the one who added false information. Not me. I bet you didn't even see the trailer of the film. You need to see the trailer. In the trailer, you'll see the Columbia logo. I'm not joking. I'm serious. Here is the link to the trailer to prove to you that The Emoji Movie is made by Columbia.

Hey. You asked me why I removed the "British" part from The Shining's page. The reason I did was because it was Produced, directed, and the screenplay was all by Stanley Kubrick who was American, based on Stephen King's 1977 novel The Shining, all the main actors and actresses were American, the music was by Americans, and it was distributed by Warner Bros. The only "British" parts were the Production companies, editing, and Cinematography, which, in my opinion, isn't worth a "British-American" title. But what do I know, I'm new here.

He made an accusation on the original discussion edit summary; so I had to respond. I clarified that it was a misinterpretation on my end; and since he cited WP:TALKO, I read the whole thing, and pointed out that editing indentation is not a crime as long as we don't edit content; nonetheless, I pointed out I mistook his line-break as two separate comments. I was responded to with a tangent; so i read WP:UNCIVIL and WP:IUC which told me to request a strike-out or deletion, and an Admin intervention. Since you were an admin on that page; I tagged you to verify whether i really intended malice with my edit, or he was going overboard with his WP:Uncivil. That is all, NinjaPR. I shall ignore him now. DA1 ( talk) 17:47, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

You say in your user page, "Let me know on my talk page if I can help you." I hope you can.
Within 24 hours (13:48, June 13 - 04:18, June 14), one editor has made 38 separate edits to List of LGBT characters in television and radio. Characters have been transferred to a different section, some have been deleted. I restored four characters with explanation in the summary and this editor re-transferred / re-deleted them again, including disputing sources. Based on the only summary comments this editor provided, I don't think I or any other editor can reason with this person. It verges on disruptive editing. What recourse is there for this kind of situation? Thank you. Pyxis Solitary ( talk) 08:05, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
What I did [12] was to restore the article to the original version. This article was changed by user Soangry without any reason. See his first edition [13]. Then see the original version of this article [14] before his edition. He changed the staring information of infobox without any reference. I restored this change. Moreover, the leading of this article indeed claim "The Chinese–US co-production also stars Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe and Andy Lau." Hence, Andy Lau should be the major actor. Why changed this order. Miracle dream ( talk)
/info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/Herschens is most likely the same with /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/Blemse, which was blocked by you recently. There are edits on the same article section, namely Austro-Hungarian_Compromise_of_1867#Terms 123Steller ( talk) 10:38, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Hey,
Thanks for looking into 72.184.130.118's edits. Also, I recently came across Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#IP_genre_warrior, as I just had responded to the ANI thread directly below it, and noticed that the end result was you blocking a handful of /64 IPv6 ranges. After doing some digging around, I found that the /48 IPv6 range was once blocked for 3 months back in December.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 03:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
