I never went there. My material related to the 1984 incident at the MTC.-- Hodgdon's secret garden ( talk) 18:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Just letting you know that the unblocked range that was reported to WP:OP/R was 207.148.64.0/18 which is from the same webhosting ISP as 207.246.64.0/18 which is currently blocked. I think you had mistaken which range was actually reported to the noticeboard at that time.

Hello SQL, your recent BRFA ( Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/SQLBot 6) has been approved to run without a flag. Should you have future tasks that require a flag, you will need to ensure that your programming for this task does not assert the bot flag. Happy editing, — xaosflux Talk 17:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

April Fools! Welcome to Wikipedia. Although all admins are welcome to delete constructively on Wikipedia, at least one of your recent deletions, such as the one you performed on the Main Page, did not appear to be constructive and has been undeleted. Please use Jimbo Wales' user page for any test deletions or blankings you would like to make, and read about our main page deletion guideline to learn more about deleting things on this encyclopedia. Thank you. Bobherry Talk Edits 13:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi SQL. First off, I want to say thank you for creating SQLBot's function of removing AIV reports that have lingered for a long time without being acted upon - I think it's very helpful. However, I have a question about this edit by SQLBot. It removed a report from AIV because it had been listed for more than six hours. However, there was ongoing discussion (albeit a slow one) and the most recent comment was newer than six hours. I'm wondering if this is intentional (removing a report when the first comment exceeds more than six hours old, rather then when the most recent comment exceeds six hours old). I'm assuming that since this is probably a rare situation at AIV, it may not have been considered. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 20:24, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
You blocked 216.162.47.18 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) as an open proxy, but it looks like the encompassing IP range (which is 216.162.40.0/21, per this), is a cloud hosting network. Could you block the /21 range please? Thanks. 187.220.107.91 ( talk) 04:41, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, you sent me an e-mail. I doon't know how to open or read it :P -- TIAYN ( talk) 21:46, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
The last link I added was spam - at the time it did link to the event but this has subsequently been removed. It now appears as an unconstructive edit, but was done so in good faith at the time. 157.203.254.1 ( talk) 08:50, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Seems legit. TonyBallioni ( talk) 23:26, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Hijiri88 - As you incorrectly noted here, I did not unblock DK2149 "for wikilawyering about not having been aware of having technically violated 3RR". If we look at the block log - it clearly reads "Editor understands why they were blocked, and how to avoid violating 3RR in the future. With consent from blocking admin - [2]". I clearly mentioned that the editor's original unblock request was insufficient, and offered some advice on how to correct it (which pretty much directly addressed the lawyering). I came across this block at CAT:RFU. Udarr made no such unblock request.
Darkknight2149 Please stop edit warring over this page. You are already on extremely thin ice for edit warring right now. I'm very tempted to full-protect the page for a while, or worse. The process is bold-revert-discuss, not bold-revert-discuss-revert-revert-revert-revert. No harm will come from the movie being called a remake vs a reboot for a bit while a consensus forms on the talk page. Remember that there is no deadline. Additional advice would be to stop threatening with an arbcom case. Either gather evidence, and go forward - or stop mentioning it. Edits like this, this, this, and more aren't really appropriate for a collaborative environment in my opinion. Either file a case, or let it go.
@ both of you - please stop pinging me. I don't need or want any more notifications or contact unless it's absolutely needed for the good of the project. This is going to sound pretty familiar - so there might be a lesson to be learned here. I will archive this message in a day or two - I don't require any replies.

This is the second time you've done this so I know it's not a one time mistake. In closing the unban request on User talk:Krish! you changed their sig and broke their report. I fixed the first time you did this but you might want to fix whatever it is that's causing this. -- Tarage ( talk) 01:12, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
It wasn't meant to be accusatory and I would have responded as such had you given me a hot second to reply instead of archiving it, but here we are. All I was saying was that in responding you broke it. The one I fixed was the previous request for help, something you also broke when you closed it. Sorry for attempting to tell you about a problem you were having. Obviously I've learned my lesson not to bother. -- Tarage ( talk) 05:00, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for taking care of the "My Privates" user. Wikipedia doesn't need users like that person. I placed a speedy delete tag on his talk page if you feel the page should be deleted. AmericanAir88 ( talk) 17:42, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Template:Adminstats/Caulde, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thanks for protecting The X Factor (UK series 15). [4], [5], [6], [7] were created minutes after each other, and were doing the same thing, unsourced changes/vandalism acts. This is a patent sock puppetry case and maybe the accounts should be blocked? Ktrimi991 ( talk) 22:59, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
I was wondering whether the use of SQL/AFC-Ores had been dropped. It does't appear to be updating (assuming it's not my computer, which is always possible!). Obviously if it's meant not to be doing it, that's fine, I just wanted to be sure - for the short time I used it, it was a great help.

For the fantastic AIV analysis tool! Impressive technical work. Enterprisey ( talk!) 01:40, 1 September 2018 (UTC) |
Thanks again for the very useful tool. Would it be possible to have the task that updates the front page of the tool also add a timestamp, so that I can see what time the front page was last updated? Thanks! Enterprisey ( talk!) 19:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
I currently have a query to find really old uploads:- https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/29813
It's currently based on pageid.
However more correctly it should be listing any unsourced file that was uploaded prior to Sept 18th 2005 (which is when sourcing rule began to be enforced more vigoursly.) If the query can be tweaked to rely on a timestamp for the first upload instead. ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 19:02, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi SQL. I'm not sure if you're around at the same timezones as I am, but I regularly arrive to an AIV backlog around this time, particularly on certain days, when there are actually very few admins around and even rampant vandals can go unattended for a few hours. To say that enough admins have eyeballed the reports is optimistic. I'd like to see the standard 6 hours extended to 8. I note you and others have previously expressed a preference for this figure, so without a strong consensus against it, perhaps you could have a tweak. At least, register my concern about 6 being too short. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 07:24, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

In chart form:
Graphs are unavailable due to technical issues. There is more info on Phabricator and on MediaWiki.org. |
Here's what I'm thinking:
~60 admins active is roughly the median. As we approach 80 admins active, shorten down to a minimum of 4 hours. As we approach 40 admins active, lengthen out to a max of 8 hours.

There appears to be an issue with the above bot. It should not have removed just my edit here. If the report with my edit was considered stale, it should have removed the user (Daffa Dilantra) my comment applied to and my comment. KnightLago ( talk) 20:16, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Link to the test page | Archived TP Discussion | Obsolete notes
So, it's taken a long time (mostly occupied by putting off working on it), but I got a web tool running of the old aivanalysis I would run offline. It works by manually walking and evaluating every one of the 1.5 million revisions to WP:AIV, and saving to a MySQL Database which takes about a week of machine time. I split it into ~1 year chunks, each chunk running a separate process on the open grid. At the moment, 2007, 2008, 2016, and 2017 are still processing, but there are 416,252 processed reports to work off of. Hammersoft, 72, Serial Number 54129, you had comments in the previous discussion, I figured I'd let you know about the update.
There are still some known bugs that affected early versions of the old tool that I'm working on.
Anyhow, as always, any feedback is appreciated. SQL Query me! 03:04, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I've got a query that I've used for this for a while, figured it might benefit others as a tool. Very much a WIP, and unstable. Will move it to it's own project from my incubator before long. https://tools.wmflabs.org/aivanalysis/compare.php.

Hi there,
I'm aware you're busy and this is the definition of non-critical, so obvs wait as RL supercedes.
User:SQL/AFC-Ores isn't functioning, and hasn't for the last 12 days. I'd wondered if this was anything to do with the migration from Trusty to Stretch that knocked a few other things offline a couple of weeks ago.

I was looking at this tool for the first time, and I'd just like to double check with you that I'm interpreting the results correctly before I place any block based on it. The edits of 208.84.155.212, which is part of the 208.84.152.0/22 range used by a company called Total Server Solutions L.L.C., raised my suspicions so I used the tool to check that IP address. Can you check the results and confirm my interpretation that this range is a proxy service and/or VPN service? @ MusikAnimal: Pinging MusikAnimal too, if you'd like to respond instead. Thank you. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 11:49, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.
|
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi SQL. We have added you to the list of clerks and subscribed you to the mailing list (info: WP:AC/C#clerks-l). Welcome, and I look forward to working with you! To adjust your subscription options for the mailing list, see the link at mail:clerks-l. The mailing list works in the usual way, and the address to which new mailing list threads can be sent is clerks-llists.wikimedia.org. Useful reading for new clerks is the procedures page, WP:AC/C/P, but you will learn all the basic components of clerking on-the-job.
New clerks begin as a trainee, are listed as such at WP:AC/C#Personnel, and will remain so until they have learned all the aspects of the job. When you've finished training, which usually takes a couple of/a few months, then we'll propose to the Committee that you be made a full clerk. As a clerk, you'll need to check your e-mail regularly, as the mailing list is where the clerks co-ordinate ( on-wiki co-ordination page also exists but is not used nearly as much). If you've any questions at any point of your traineeship, simply post to the mailing list.
Lastly, it might be useful if you enter your timezone into WP:AC/C#Personnel (in the same format as the other members have), so that we can estimate when we will have clerks available each day; this is, of course, at your discretion. Again, welcome! Regards, -- Cameron11598 (Talk) 20:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Copied from NinjaRobotPirate's talk page: "Hey! Someone reported 103.212.20.243 as an open proxy over at the WikiProject. As a user not verified, I decided to check this IP to see if I understand it all properly. So what I did is I found out it is not a web server, so I tried finding out the port numbers via Nmap. I got 2 port numbers: 443 and 8080. I logged out of Wikipedia and tried to connect to both, but I wasn't able to load up Wikipedia when I set the IP and port as my proxy. Therefore, it is not an open proxy, right? (Because I am not verified, I haven't made any comments at the WikiProject.)" Could you check if my check is correct? Also, could I become a verified user at Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies/verified users. I understand that checks should only be done when there is probable cause to belief that an IP may be an open proxy and that ranges of IP addresses serving as open proxy should be range blocked (I am not an admin but I can leave the blocking up to an admin). -- MrClog ( talk) 13:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Hey there,
Can ArbCom impose an I-ban between two commentators (not participants) in a case?
Thanks. François Robere ( talk) 13:25, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
"commentators (not participants)"is not well-defined in arbitration: do you refer to editors who have never participated in a case, or editors who have commented in the arbitration page but are not listed as parties? I would imagine that ArbCom would be less likely to intervene with non-parties and with uninvolved non-participants, but in any event, the concept of a "party" to an arbitration case exists solely for internal administrative convenience; any editor may be added or removed as a party to an arbitration case at the direction of the drafting arbitrators. ArbCom is vested by the arbitration policy with
"jurisdiction within the English Wikipedia", where it is the
"final binding decision-maker". The answer to the question of whether ArbCom has the power to take any action to resolve a conduct dispute on the English Wikipedia is "absolutely", so the answer to the question of whether ArbCom would act hinges on a number of hypotheticals: in what ways did the two commentators violate policy or disrupt Wikipedia? Why is it necessary for ArbCom to intervene? Why couldn't it be handled by administrators acting alone or through established community processes? Historically, actions outside of cases have been rare but not unheard of. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:21, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

In relation to your efforts at
User talk:Bradv I wanted to commend you for having the humility and maturity to say things like my bad. I'm new

While I can find much to complain about, and point to as something that could be improved, I preferred instead to find a silver lining and make note of it. The barnstar isn't completely unique, but it is a rather rare one from my personal collection. And maybe barnstars have become a cliché over the years, but I did want to find a way to say I really appreciated your efforts. Thanks.

Hi SQL. First off, I want to say thank you for creating SQLBot's function of removing AIV reports that have lingered for a long time without being acted upon - I think it's very helpful. However, I have a question about this edit by SQLBot. It removed a report from AIV because it had been listed for more than six hours. However, there was ongoing discussion (albeit a slow one) and the most recent comment was newer than six hours. I'm wondering if this is intentional (removing a report when the first comment exceeds more than six hours old, rather then when the most recent comment exceeds six hours old). I'm assuming that since this is probably a rare situation at AIV, it may not have been considered. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 20:24, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Hijiri88 - As you incorrectly noted here, I did not unblock DK2149 "for wikilawyering about not having been aware of having technically violated 3RR". If we look at the block log - it clearly reads "Editor understands why they were blocked, and how to avoid violating 3RR in the future. With consent from blocking admin - [2]". I clearly mentioned that the editor's original unblock request was insufficient, and offered some advice on how to correct it (which pretty much directly addressed the lawyering). I came across this block at CAT:RFU. Udarr made no such unblock request.
Darkknight2149 Please stop edit warring over this page. You are already on extremely thin ice for edit warring right now. I'm very tempted to full-protect the page for a while, or worse. The process is bold-revert-discuss, not bold-revert-discuss-revert-revert-revert-revert. No harm will come from the movie being called a remake vs a reboot for a bit while a consensus forms on the talk page. Remember that there is no deadline. Additional advice would be to stop threatening with an arbcom case. Either gather evidence, and go forward - or stop mentioning it. Edits like this, this, this, and more aren't really appropriate for a collaborative environment in my opinion. Either file a case, or let it go.
@ both of you - please stop pinging me. I don't need or want any more notifications or contact unless it's absolutely needed for the good of the project. This is going to sound pretty familiar - so there might be a lesson to be learned here. I will archive this message in a day or two - I don't require any replies.

Thanks for protecting The X Factor (UK series 15). [4], [5], [6], [7] were created minutes after each other, and were doing the same thing, unsourced changes/vandalism acts. This is a patent sock puppetry case and maybe the accounts should be blocked? Ktrimi991 ( talk) 22:59, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
It looks like you blocked 209.58.128.0/20 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) (which is already globally locked), instead of 209.58.128.0/18 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS).
There have been recent edits from IPs, such as 209.58.169.100 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) that are not included the blocked /20 range (and are inherently in the /18 range instead). Thanks. 2601:1C0:4401:24A0:8C08:620D:BCAF:5448 ( talk) 04:35, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
I was wondering whether the use of SQL/AFC-Ores had been dropped. It does't appear to be updating (assuming it's not my computer, which is always possible!). Obviously if it's meant not to be doing it, that's fine, I just wanted to be sure - for the short time I used it, it was a great help.

For the fantastic AIV analysis tool! Impressive technical work. Enterprisey ( talk!) 01:40, 1 September 2018 (UTC) |
Thanks again for the very useful tool. Would it be possible to have the task that updates the front page of the tool also add a timestamp, so that I can see what time the front page was last updated? Thanks! Enterprisey ( talk!) 19:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
I currently have a query to find really old uploads:- https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/29813
It's currently based on pageid.
However more correctly it should be listing any unsourced file that was uploaded prior to Sept 18th 2005 (which is when sourcing rule began to be enforced more vigoursly.) If the query can be tweaked to rely on a timestamp for the first upload instead. ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 19:02, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi SQL. I'm not sure if you're around at the same timezones as I am, but I regularly arrive to an AIV backlog around this time, particularly on certain days, when there are actually very few admins around and even rampant vandals can go unattended for a few hours. To say that enough admins have eyeballed the reports is optimistic. I'd like to see the standard 6 hours extended to 8. I note you and others have previously expressed a preference for this figure, so without a strong consensus against it, perhaps you could have a tweak. At least, register my concern about 6 being too short. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 07:24, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Here's what I'm thinking:
~60 admins active is roughly the median. As we approach 80 admins active, shorten down to a minimum of 4 hours. As we approach 40 admins active, lengthen out to a max of 8 hours.

So, it's taken a long time (mostly occupied by putting off working on it), but I got a web tool running of the old aivanalysis I would run offline. It works by manually walking and evaluating every one of the 1.5 million revisions to WP:AIV, and saving to a MySQL Database which takes about a week of machine time. I split it into ~1 year chunks, each chunk running a separate process on the open grid. At the moment, 2007, 2008, 2016, and 2017 are still processing, but there are 416,252 processed reports to work off of. Hammersoft, 72, Serial Number 54129, you had comments in the previous discussion, I figured I'd let you know about the update.
There are still some known bugs that affected early versions of the old tool that I'm working on.
Anyhow, as always, any feedback is appreciated. SQL Query me! 03:04, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I've got a query that I've used for this for a while, figured it might benefit others as a tool. Very much a WIP, and unstable. Will move it to it's own project from my incubator before long. https://tools.wmflabs.org/aivanalysis/compare.php.

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.
|
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi SQL. We have added you to the list of clerks and subscribed you to the mailing list (info: WP:AC/C#clerks-l). Welcome, and I look forward to working with you! To adjust your subscription options for the mailing list, see the link at mail:clerks-l. The mailing list works in the usual way, and the address to which new mailing list threads can be sent is clerks-llists.wikimedia.org. Useful reading for new clerks is the procedures page, WP:AC/C/P, but you will learn all the basic components of clerking on-the-job.
New clerks begin as a trainee, are listed as such at WP:AC/C#Personnel, and will remain so until they have learned all the aspects of the job. When you've finished training, which usually takes a couple of/a few months, then we'll propose to the Committee that you be made a full clerk. As a clerk, you'll need to check your e-mail regularly, as the mailing list is where the clerks co-ordinate ( on-wiki co-ordination page also exists but is not used nearly as much). If you've any questions at any point of your traineeship, simply post to the mailing list.
Lastly, it might be useful if you enter your timezone into WP:AC/C#Personnel (in the same format as the other members have), so that we can estimate when we will have clerks available each day; this is, of course, at your discretion. Again, welcome! Regards, -- Cameron11598 (Talk) 20:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure if someone's reported this already, but I couldn't find anything in your talk archives. Thought you'd want to know, in any case. Suffusion of Yellow ( talk) 23:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Is there a reason OAuth is required so frequently? Is there a possibility of changing this behaviour to a more realistic duration? -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 19:01, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

You might want to close the Workshop. I'd say "before it gets out of hand" but we're way past that. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 16:40, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
In regards to diff, how do I complain about personal attacks VM made during the workshop, after the evidence phase was closed on 23 June?
Clerks and arbs were mostly absent (yes - I know - bigger events afoot) and this will drown out in the sea of bytes. So what's the correct forum to raise this? Icewhiz ( talk) 05:39, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
And how do I complain about Icewhiz's repeated false accusations and gross misrepresentations of other editors' statements? What's the correct forum to raise this? One administrator suggested going to AN/I with it, regardless of how the case turned out, but I thought maybe it'd be better to give ArbCom a chance to look these over first.

Hi SQL, I think you meant to put 6 July 2019

@ SQL: Why is my IP blocked? hueman1 (talk) 11:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
HI
Can you explain to me why I got blocked with the reason being "{{
Colocationwebhost}}
" like I don't understand what did I do to be blocked cause I didn't break any wiki rule.
Thank U

Hi, I noticed that you made this edit. Would you or another clerk please log the declined case at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Declined requests? Thank you. Please {{ping}} me when you reply so that I remember to look here. -- Pine (✉) 04:35, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Shouldn't take too long, but bad timing RL-wise. Migrate User:SQL/Non-blocked compute hosts to Meta, globally. If there are any ISPS that aren't listed there, that would be useful, let me know here. SQL Query me! 23:08, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Copied from NinjaRobotPirate's talk page: "Hey! Someone reported 103.212.20.243 as an open proxy over at the WikiProject. As a user not verified, I decided to check this IP to see if I understand it all properly. So what I did is I found out it is not a web server, so I tried finding out the port numbers via Nmap. I got 2 port numbers: 443 and 8080. I logged out of Wikipedia and tried to connect to both, but I wasn't able to load up Wikipedia when I set the IP and port as my proxy. Therefore, it is not an open proxy, right? (Because I am not verified, I haven't made any comments at the WikiProject.)" Could you check if my check is correct? Also, could I become a verified user at Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies/verified users. I understand that checks should only be done when there is probable cause to belief that an IP may be an open proxy and that ranges of IP addresses serving as open proxy should be range blocked (I am not an admin but I can leave the blocking up to an admin). -- MrClog ( talk) 13:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello! Thanks for your help (regarding a deleted page content); could you please send it again, due to a still unfixed bug in Wikimedia config? I have changed my email to avoid that bug. Thanks, and sorry for the repeated sending! (Now it's obvious why I didn't get some email sent from enwp…) -- grin ✎ 18:23, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Hey, as per IRC, please can you look into verifying and possibly adding AS134451 to the non-blocked compute hosts checking bot? Cheers, stwalkerster ( talk) 00:45, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
Hey man! As we talked on IRC, when you can, please generate a list of ptwiki's non-blocked compute hosts, as I plan on blocking them. Thanks! — Thanks for the fish! talk• contribs 20:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi me, I hear we could use a list of blocks currently active on enwiki by procseebot, that are not globally blocked. Mirror params, create lists based on remaining block length: <30d, 30m, 9m, 12+m using makelinks() recycled from compute.php. SQL Query me! 03:30, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Hey there,
Can ArbCom impose an I-ban between two commentators (not participants) in a case?
Thanks. François Robere ( talk) 13:25, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
"commentators (not participants)"is not well-defined in arbitration: do you refer to editors who have never participated in a case, or editors who have commented in the arbitration page but are not listed as parties? I would imagine that ArbCom would be less likely to intervene with non-parties and with uninvolved non-participants, but in any event, the concept of a "party" to an arbitration case exists solely for internal administrative convenience; any editor may be added or removed as a party to an arbitration case at the direction of the drafting arbitrators. ArbCom is vested by the arbitration policy with
"jurisdiction within the English Wikipedia", where it is the
"final binding decision-maker". The answer to the question of whether ArbCom has the power to take any action to resolve a conduct dispute on the English Wikipedia is "absolutely", so the answer to the question of whether ArbCom would act hinges on a number of hypotheticals: in what ways did the two commentators violate policy or disrupt Wikipedia? Why is it necessary for ArbCom to intervene? Why couldn't it be handled by administrators acting alone or through established community processes? Historically, actions outside of cases have been rare but not unheard of. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:21, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
Remedy 2d. It says there are 3 support votes (there are now 4 but that's immaterial) and no opposes or abstains. It says it needs 2 support votes, which at 3 is correct, but it says it cannot pass. Why?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:25, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, my valid report to AIV was removed as stale by your bot. This doesn't look appropriate to me. Perhaps we should increase the elapsed time before deciding that a report is stale? — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 06:58, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey there,
Just letting you know we'll be pitching a story for the Signpost soon. [19] Icewhiz has been working on it for a while [20] and will be credited as author, but if a T-ban is in effect I'll be signing the actual post myself as editor or co-author, so as not to have him break it.

The Communication Barnstar | ||
For your efforts to extend and improve the communication levels of Wikipedia, at a time when tensions were already at a high level, Ched would like to award you the Communication Barnstar. |
In relation to your efforts at
User talk:Bradv I wanted to commend you for having the humility and maturity to say things like my bad. I'm new
and I apologize
. My view is that people willing to do that are the ones that command the most respect. While I can find much to complain about, and point to as something that could be improved, I preferred instead to find a silver lining and make note of it. The barnstar isn't completely unique, but it is a rather rare one from my personal collection. And maybe barnstars have become a cliché over the years, but I did want to find a way to say I really appreciated your efforts. Thanks.

I wanted to let you know that my IP is unblocked but that it also gets blocked sporadically. I tried to use the site you gave me to submit my IP address privately but, because my IP has been sporadically unblocked, it will not let me send an appeal. Basically, I'm clear for now but if there is any other way I can get you my IP address privately as to not get blocked again, that would be appreciated.

I've been asked to ask ArbCom about ECP. Currently, it is inconsistently applied and people use it with relative frequency when it doesn't apply per WP:ECP and they fail to log it accordingly. Requests to Admins go unanswered, ignored, or just deleted. How and where do I ask this in relation to WP:ARBPIA4? Buffs ( talk) 05:20, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
