Hi there -- you've protected this article indefinitely -- can I ask that you downgrade it to semi-protection, or put an expiration date in place? Indefinite full protection seems excessive: there's a brand-new editor removing information without good justification, that's the only problem here. As a Hebrew speaker, I'm happy to vouch for the sources in question -- they verify the content. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 13:36, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello Primefac, could you (or someone else stalking this page) please start a follow-up RfC to Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 178#Pending-changes protection of Today's featured article? The BRFA that implemented the one-month trial which you approved is here: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT III 7. I would start it myself, but I am a noob when it comes to RfC's, and I don't want to drop the ball. — Goszei ( talk) 08:08, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I believe the no consensus result of the above TfD entry is inconsistent with the content of the discussion. The nominator proposed two methods to stop transcluding the template. There was a clear majority in favor of stopping the transclusion: 3 and a bit (me, GKFX, Izno and likely 67.70.27.180) to 1 (Pppery) and Nabla was not voting. Although the specific method to apply had no consensus (because Izno preferred a delete), I think we could call it a "win" for the transclusion stop, especially because GKFX countered well Pppery's arguments and because the number of articles is not very relevant as it can easily flop between sides. Furthermore, Pppery did not reply to defend his arguments or raise new ones in what seemed to be a concession. What was your reasoning behind the closure?

@ Primefac: Hello, thanks for your comment, but how is it possible to deal with these disruptive users who want to rewrite the Lithuania-related topics according to non-online Cyrillic (Russian-Belarusian) sources and again and again perform edit warring? This report: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RRArchive436#User:Лобачев_Владимир_reported_by_User:Pofka_(Result:_) resulted in nothing despite a lot of evidence provided by myself and another user Rgvis. I do not know how to deal with them apart from edit warring with them non-stop, but I do not want to violate rules. Also, please pay attention to what Lithuanian topics reviewer Sabbatino stated at Wikipedia:Arbitration. He noticed their disruptive, coordinated editing as well. -- Pofka ( talk) 13:21, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Primefac! I've recently been made aware ( link to talk message) that my edits to {{ Infobox administration}} (and the two child templates, /seal and /seal/if) appear to have exceeded the expansion depth limit, thus categorising all transclusions of the infobox template in a tracking category. I've reviewed most instances and I'm yet to find any rendering issues, so I'm not really sure how to resolve this.

Hello, I am the Wikimedian in Residence at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and we have been working with a university to train some students in how to edit Wikipedia. We are working with local museums to expand or create new pages for their museum/heritage site. One of the pages created as part of that training was - /info/en/?search=Aberdeen_Treasure_Hub which you deleted with a G12 - from what I can tell there was some possible copying instead of surmising some of sources. Would it be possible to either:
a. restore it so it could be used as a teaching moment for the students on how to correctly surmise and not violate copyright. As soon as it is restored I will go in and fix whatever copyright issues might exist and we can use it as a teaching moment.
b. if it was too bad in terms of copyright, could I get a copy of the page and we will start again from scratch using that copy as a discussion point. Thank you. DougRM ( talk) 16:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, since relistings are allowed not only by admins but also by regular editors, why did you revert my edit which changed administrator to editor? I'm not angry about it, just curious. Let me know! Dr. Universe ( talk) 19:15, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
evaluated by the closing administrator as an expired PROD, it is being evaluated with the intention to delete the page. Now, the closing administrator may decide that "an expired PROD would not be deleted" and relist the discussion, but since the other option is "delete this page" then an administrator is the only one that would be making that evaluation.

I would like to make some edits to the template (specifically, adding one more campaignbox for the time after the second Idlib offensive, as there hasn't been much fighting), but I cannot, since I am an IP and I also cannot make an account for various reasons.

Hi Primefac. I'm pretty sure Template:User ocd qualifies for speedy deletion, but I'm just not sure which criterion.

The 1967 date for closure appears to be inaccurate. The article for the school shows a monument which shows the dates of its operation from 1869 to 1969.

Hi @ Primefac: Came across this while helping editor user:Joflaher at the Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). They created the article and executed a copy from sandbox to the wrong namespace. There is also the main article in article space Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma and there is a redirect Anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Thankfully the redirect stopped the page move when I attempted it. I think you can probably just need a delete on the user, as the redirect and the main article look ok.

I'd like to draw your attention to the words at the top of the RFA talk page. "The RfA talk page serves to unclutter the main RfA page by hosting discussions that are not germane to the candidacy." Which rather contradicts the reason you gave for reverting me.
Worse, my edit wasn't irrelvent to the RfA. "Nazi" appears 45 times on the main page. It's the big talking point of the whole RfA. An alternative perspective on the candidates noNazi position ought to be valued. The candidate can ignore it if they chose, but there is always a chance they might find it a useful.
I'm not asking you to undo your revert. Under the circumstances it's most amusing, and nicly underlines part of my point. But do please try to be a little more thoughful in any future clerking - I'd expect better of even a veteran editor, let alone a crat. And while we're at it, if you are actually a crat, kindly consider displaying the fact on your user page like everyone else. Or at least that you're an admin - newer editors may not know what an overighter is. Thank you. FeydHuxtable ( talk) 22:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
...sometimes discussions stray off-topic or otherwise clutter that page. This provides the context for what should be on the talk page: things that are related to the RFA but are not necessarily appropriate or necessary for the engagement and further interest of the participants on the main page. Often these are criticisms of an oppose that end up going off-tangent, issues with syntax (generally bot-related) or similar. Your (self-described) rant offers little to nothing in the context of the RFA and thus has no place on its talk page. Incidentally, this is exactly why I chose the wording I did when undoing your edit. Primefac ( talk) 22:49, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
Just thought I'd say thanks for starting the discussion. It's been on my mind for a while that it's a very inefficient way of doing things.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi Primefac! I recently discovered that there are roughly 9000 pages that use {{ Infobox university}} but aren't tagged with WikiProject Higher education. I'd like to set up a bot to go through and fix them all, but it's not quite as simple as using the AWB prepend function due to the presence of talk header and/or the project banner holder on some of these pages. On the Discord #technical channel, Izno vaguely recalled (although they weren't sure) that you may run a WP Adder Bot that could handle this. Is that the case, and if so, is this something with which you could help? Cheers, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 19:23, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

In the 4 languages I know the best practice is always to declare a variable where its first assigned.

Hello. I hope you are doing well.
One year ago, I started to work on
Template:Old moves/doc/sandbox, but then my computer died. I wanted to make some changes to the template, documentation, and maybe-possibly to the
Module:Old move as well (with proper discussion/consensus). I was thinking about getting back to it, but found out old move, and old moves are being merged. Do you know how much time would it take to finish the merging? I will start working on my ideas in personal sandbox, as well as on txt file on computer. Also, after the merger, what will happen to old move module? Also, no need to ping, I've been watching your page

So, in my (perhaps misguided) attempt to move Template:Idaho-geo-stub a level down into Category:Idaho stub templates; it seems that the transcluded pages now show up in Category:United States geography stub templates...which was not my intent at all...but I have tried at least 5 variations and they are still there...wondering if they really are NOT there? and it is some kind of purge issue?

Hi Primefac, yesterday you put me down as a page mover. To be honest I had only requested it for my own use, but after you suggested to try and deal with some requests, I decided to have a go.
I saw this request at Requested Moves. So what I did was, I made sure the request was valid and uncontroversial, then I moved the redirect out of the way, then I moved the article without leaving a redirect, then I requested the speedy deletion of the redirect under the db-moved criterion, and then I marked the request as done.
Is that all correct? Anything I should have done differently? Thanks, Dr. Vogel ( talk) 12:32, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Primefac,
I hope you can assist with your technical knowledge. Draft:Testing is showing up on CSD G13 eligible pages (most recently on User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible) and I'm not sure how to make it ineligible aside from making a dummy edit to it every 6 months. Should it be moved from Draft space to another area of the project? I don't think it's a mistake of SDZeroBot whose lists I work with daily...it's been operating since September 2020 and I haven't come across another page like this, one that is listed as eligible for deletion but apparently shouldn't be deleted. Thanks for any permanent solution you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 00:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Primefac, last year you created a bot to remove to cluttery tables from a bunch of college footbal articles; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Archive 24#Overall record / Last meeting / Result tables.

Hello P. When you have a moment would you please check my work. In May of 2020 you created Category:Pages using infobox film with unknown empty parameters which a couple of us wikignomes have been chipping away at. Today I tried to create a corresponding cat for the Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters. You can see it here Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown empty parameters. I have found that, in the same way that nature abhors a vacuum, editors are driven to fill empty fields so removing deprecated fields like residence and home town will help tp prevent that. I'm guessing that there are things I am unaware of to do these properly so any fixes you can perform will be appreciated. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD| Talk 15:55, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Primefac
There is absolutely no copyright infringement. I created the website rapidball.info because the inventor of the sport and creator of the original, official homepage, rapid-ball.com and rapidball.co.uk, is no longer around. If you tell me what exactly to put on rapidball.info to make it compliant with the Wikipedia license terms, I can easily do that. It seems pretty awkward to hamper access to relevant, objective information about this sport just because the same facts are stated elsewhere. For example, the rules of the game no longer exist elsewhere. So, how would anyone be able to describe those rules without extensive references to the site where they exist? I made it very clear that some quotes were taken directly from the site or from the book that I have also quoted (as well as on the homepage).
Let me know what to do exactly. Achrist ( talk) 14:41, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I believe the no consensus result of the above TfD entry is inconsistent with the content of the discussion. The nominator proposed two methods to stop transcluding the template. There was a clear majority in favor of stopping the transclusion: 3 and a bit (me, GKFX, Izno and likely 67.70.27.180) to 1 (Pppery) and Nabla was not voting. Although the specific method to apply had no consensus (because Izno preferred a delete), I think we could call it a "win" for the transclusion stop, especially because GKFX countered well Pppery's arguments and because the number of articles is not very relevant as it can easily flop between sides. Furthermore, Pppery did not reply to defend his arguments or raise new ones in what seemed to be a concession. What was your reasoning behind the closure?

Hello, I am the Wikimedian in Residence at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and we have been working with a university to train some students in how to edit Wikipedia. We are working with local museums to expand or create new pages for their museum/heritage site. One of the pages created as part of that training was - /info/en/?search=Aberdeen_Treasure_Hub which you deleted with a G12 - from what I can tell there was some possible copying instead of surmising some of sources. Would it be possible to either:
a. restore it so it could be used as a teaching moment for the students on how to correctly surmise and not violate copyright. As soon as it is restored I will go in and fix whatever copyright issues might exist and we can use it as a teaching moment.
b. if it was too bad in terms of copyright, could I get a copy of the page and we will start again from scratch using that copy as a discussion point. Thank you. DougRM ( talk) 16:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

evaluated by the closing administrator as an expired PROD, it is being evaluated with the intention to delete the page.

Hi @ Primefac: Came across this while helping editor user:Joflaher at the Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). They created the article and executed a copy from sandbox to the wrong namespace. There is also the main article in article space Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma and there is a redirect Anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Thankfully the redirect stopped the page move when I attempted it. I think you can probably just need a delete on the user, as the redirect and the main article look ok. Can you fix it please. scope_creep Talk 22:17, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to draw your attention to the words at the top of the RFA talk page. "The RfA talk page serves to unclutter the main RfA page by hosting discussions that are not germane to the candidacy." Which rather contradicts the reason you gave for reverting me.
Worse, my edit wasn't irrelvent to the RfA. "Nazi" appears 45 times on the main page. It's the big talking point of the whole RfA. An alternative perspective on the candidates noNazi position ought to be valued. The candidate can ignore it if they chose, but there is always a chance they might find it a useful.
I'm not asking you to undo your revert. Under the circumstances it's most amusing, and nicly underlines part of my point. But do please try to be a little more thoughful in any future clerking - I'd expect better of even a veteran editor, let alone a crat. And while we're at it, if you are actually a crat, kindly consider displaying the fact on your user page like everyone else. Or at least that you're an admin - newer editors may not know what an overighter is. Thank you. FeydHuxtable ( talk) 22:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
...sometimes discussions stray off-topic or otherwise clutter that page. This provides the context for what should be on the talk page: things that are related to the RFA but are not necessarily appropriate or necessary for the engagement and further interest of the participants on the main page. Often these are criticisms of an oppose that end up going off-tangent, issues with syntax (generally bot-related) or similar. Your (self-described) rant offers little to nothing in the context of the RFA and thus has no place on its talk page. Incidentally, this is exactly why I chose the wording I did when undoing your edit. Primefac ( talk) 22:49, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
Just thought I'd say thanks for starting the discussion. It's been on my mind for a while that it's a very inefficient way of doing things. Also, please don't take anything I say as being against the proposal to get rid of them – I agree we should – I just think it's worth having a very thorough discussion about the best way to do it.

Hello. I saw that you locked the Battle of Parwan page. I do not register a user since this is a public computer (my work), you can take a look at my contributions. I do not vandalise or edit randomly, I even discuss when a conflict arises. Overwhelming Majority of my contributions are there and they greatly expanded the relevant pages.
Can you confirm me? Here are some of the pages I expanded: Sean Carroll, Battle of Indus, Battle of Parwan.
I will inform to delete confirmation once I abandon using this computer -- 81.213.215.83 ( talk) 05:13, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi Primefac! I recently discovered that there are roughly 9000 pages that use {{ Infobox university}} but aren't tagged with WikiProject Higher education. I'd like to set up a bot to go through and fix them all, but it's not quite as simple as using the AWB prepend function due to the presence of talk header and/or the project banner holder on some of these pages. On the Discord #technical channel, Izno vaguely recalled (although they weren't sure) that you may run a WP Adder Bot that could handle this. Is that the case, and if so, is this something with which you could help? Cheers, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 19:23, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

In the 4 languages I know the best practice is always to declare a variable where its first assigned. This makes reading the code easier as you don't need to jump from the a random location in a function to the top and it also makes you more aware of your code. Here is an example for Lua.

Hello. I hope you are doing well.
One year ago, I started to work on
Template:Old moves/doc/sandbox, but then my computer died. I wanted to make some changes to the template, documentation, and maybe-possibly to the
Module:Old move as well (with proper discussion/consensus). I was thinking about getting back to it, but found out old move, and old moves are being merged. Do you know how much time would it take to finish the merging? I will start working on my ideas in personal sandbox, as well as on txt file on computer. Also, after the merger, what will happen to old move module? Also, no need to ping, I've been watching your page

So, in my (perhaps misguided) attempt to move Template:Idaho-geo-stub a level down into Category:Idaho stub templates; it seems that the transcluded pages now show up in Category:United States geography stub templates...which was not my intent at all...but I have tried at least 5 variations and they are still there...wondering if they really are NOT there? and it is some kind of purge issue?

Hi Primefac, yesterday you put me down as a page mover. To be honest I had only requested it for my own use, but after you suggested to try and deal with some requests, I decided to have a go.
I saw this request at Requested Moves. So what I did was, I made sure the request was valid and uncontroversial, then I moved the redirect out of the way, then I moved the article without leaving a redirect, then I requested the speedy deletion of the redirect under the db-moved criterion, and then I marked the request as done.
Is that all correct? Anything I should have done differently? Thanks, Dr. Vogel ( talk) 12:32, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Primefac,
I hope you can assist with your technical knowledge. Draft:Testing is showing up on CSD G13 eligible pages (most recently on User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible) and I'm not sure how to make it ineligible aside from making a dummy edit to it every 6 months. Should it be moved from Draft space to another area of the project? I don't think it's a mistake of SDZeroBot whose lists I work with daily...it's been operating since September 2020 and I haven't come across another page like this, one that is listed as eligible for deletion but apparently shouldn't be deleted. Thanks for any permanent solution you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 00:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Primefac, last year you created a bot to remove to cluttery tables from a bunch of college footbal articles; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Archive 24#Overall record / Last meeting / Result tables.

Hello P. When you have a moment would you please check my work. In May of 2020 you created Category:Pages using infobox film with unknown empty parameters which a couple of us wikignomes have been chipping away at. Today I tried to create a corresponding cat for the Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters. You can see it here Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown empty parameters. I have found that, in the same way that nature abhors a vacuum, editors are driven to fill empty fields so removing deprecated fields like residence and home town will help tp prevent that. I'm guessing that there are things I am unaware of to do these properly so any fixes you can perform will be appreciated. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD| Talk 15:55, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Primefac
There is absolutely no copyright infringement. I created the website rapidball.info because the inventor of the sport and creator of the original, official homepage, rapid-ball.com and rapidball.co.uk, is no longer around. If you tell me what exactly to put on rapidball.info to make it compliant with the Wikipedia license terms, I can easily do that. It seems pretty awkward to hamper access to relevant, objective information about this sport just because the same facts are stated elsewhere. For example, the rules of the game no longer exist elsewhere. So, how would anyone be able to describe those rules without extensive references to the site where they exist? I made it very clear that some quotes were taken directly from the site or from the book that I have also quoted (as well as on the homepage).
Let me know what to do exactly. Achrist ( talk) 14:41, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
