Hi Slark, earlier I wrote my first two sections in talk pages on the English Wikipedia, and I noticed that User:SineBot added the automatic signature even though I had signed. You can see this here, but maybe it will add the automatic signature to this post too so as you can have a closer proof. :) -- Tanonero (msg) 18:36, 13 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanonero ( talk • contribs)
Hi there! Can I still get the Manix Abrera article back? Ill cite the reference you provided. I was very poor in doing my research and cited another wiki instead. I mean no harm in creating this wiki. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajta0316 ( talk • contribs) 01:12, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
However,
"The Internet is the last bastion of true free speech. Wikipedia embodies free speech at its finest. I think it does a better job at filtering fact from fiction than real life ever could. Seriously, how often can you slap a citation needed tag on someone's nonsense? How often can they slap one on you back? How often are they actually verified? Even better, we don't have to worry as much about corporate interests, liberal/conservative bias, and/or campaign contributions. Everyone keeps everyone else in check-- without guns, bombs, white ghost costumes, or other attacks. I like to learn, and I wish more people did too." -slakr
Where am I deferent from you. I only brought fact to fiction. The world said "who is the other guy on the cover, it looks like IVERSON" , but it's me.
I'm the only one who got blocked from playing in the league because I served my country. I am a victim of conservative bias. And, in trying to correct it I was told I was wrong. If you know about what Ed Obanon did so that former NBA players could be paid for use of likeness, imagine what I'm facing when I'm on the cover and DIDNT play in the NBA. That's my fight right now. I have to fight the system to be heard and I thought wiki was the place where truth gets posted and is able to stand. I'm not fully trying to use wiki as a weapon, however the more people who can FREELY ATTAIN the truth, will break down these barriers.

Slakr, I'm not sure who to ask so I thought I would ask you as you have closed a number of edit warring notices. I posted one here [ [1]]. I've seen a number of other edit war notices get closed but I've seen no review of mine one way or the other. Is there a way to know if the complaint is being reviewed? If there is a problem with the structure of the complaint can I know what it is? If this should be an ANI for disruptive editing instead of edit warring again is there a way to find out? Thanks Springee ( talk) 10:25, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

I noticed you closed Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Benjil_reported_by_User:Debresser_.28Result:_declined.29 as "declined". I think that result is invalid, as in not a valid option in view of the request. I explained myself there. Originally I changed the result myself to "closed without administrative action", which is a valid result in this case, but after a post on my talkpage from an editor I respect very much for many years already, I undid that, and now ask you to make this change.

template, by the way, because it happens so frequently:
Nominating editor blocked. The way I see it, of course, is that I'm hopefully right in my interpretation of the
edit warring policy in that the spirit of it is to block neither of you in this instance, which is why I felt the most appropriate close (for now) was to decline the report. Hopefully you understand where I'm coming from now, even if you disagree with it. --

Hi Slakr. I'd like your recommendation on how to best handle sending a series of tasks through the bot approval process. I'm currently working on reducing the backlog at WP:TFD/H. In many cases, the templates that are being merged have high transclusion counts and the process of the merge can be handled partially or completely with AWB. The tasks don't take very long to write the regex for and test on my end, so I've been churning them out fairly quickly. I've written two today, for instance.
I'm not quite sure how I should go about bot approvals for these. If I were to submit a BRFA for each task immediately as it were finished, it would probably bludgeon the process to death. I've been told of a past situation where a bot operator received general approval to handle these types of tasks at their discretion, but I have not been around long enough to develop a reputation to allow for such a carte blanche approval. The third option appears to be to sit on these tasks and wait for my existing BRFAs to go through before submitting additional ones, but that makes it very difficult to work through the backlog at any meaningful rate.
Do you have any suggestions on how best to proceed? I'm trying to balance accountability, the limited time of the BAG, and the need to work through this backlog, but I'm not seeing any way forward where one of those doesn't have to give. Is there a fourth option I'm missing? ~ Rob Talk 05:20, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
There are several mexican telenovela pages that have to be moved .I have tried to speak to Phillip J Fry who blanyantly refused to move them to their original titles.This is because they are not changed in English speaking countries.The only thing changed is the dubbed subtitles.The names remain the same.They are The Stray Cat, Wild at Heart (telenovela), The Color of Passion, The Neighbor (telenovela).Moreso some of the channels in the internationals often change the english translation to their liking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nyanchoka ( talk • contribs) 21:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
The user Philip J Fry has been moving multiple pages without discussion until consensus is reached as I have explained the English titles often change.This has become difficult for the use to understand since he residents in a Spanish speaking country hence he does not experience the difficulty in using the English title.The English Title to my opinion is not supposed to be used in place of the original and the mover has not understood the impact of. this as I have explained it to him but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears and whenever he sends messages I barely comprehend them.Honestly I don't want a move war with a stubborn user.

Thank you for that note of understanding. It is hard to know what to do about an editor who puts an enormous amount of time into Wikipedia, so that his hounding of me looks infrequent - to everyone but me. He comes to AFDs to vote delete where I have given extensive evidence for keeping, deleting citations from articles with false claims that the citations do not support the material. Who would read through all those long articles to see what he is doing. Who would ever have the patience to read through all of the accusations he has posted at ANI to sort out the avalanche of half-truths and untruths? The energy he puts into dogging my every step is remarkable. The slander of me is wearying. And there does appear to be a political motivation - I find Islamism noteworthy, he prefers to edit out material from reliable publications about Islamist violence, and to delete material and articles showing Islamist militants in a negative light. Most likely this reflects a leftist ideology interpreting Islamism as a reaction to Western imperialism and attacks on Muslim lands by Western countries. Since my editing is far above par, this is the only plausible explanation for the fact that he has expressed, multiple times, a desire to drive me off Wikipedia. Deletion of articles and material in support of this goal is not good editing. Moreover, there is an obsessive component to his attacks on me that makes him an uncongenial and destructive editor. The lack of good editing on mryiad articles on useful but uncontroversial topics shows, IMHO, the extent to which the notoriously battleground atmosphere and interminable wikilawyering make Wikipedia aversive, and drives away new editors. Mostly, however, I am hoping that if I refrain from responding and refrain form posting plong legal briefs at ANI, he will forget me and go away. Yesterday, when he aggressively, and for the second time, made dishonest assertions about news articles sourcing an article about an heroic priest running what is by all accounts an exemplary refugee camp in Iraqi Kurdistan - I lost it. I am sorry that I engaged him. It, and the support given by a handful of other editors, only has the effect of encouraging him and helps make Wikipedia a nasty place to work.

My failed verification tags were removed as "untruthful" by EM Gregory. I have listed below the statements sourced, the diffs where the tags were removed, links to the sources, and the extent of the source content related to the article content in the source that was tagged.
He was tortured and released nine days later. He suffered multiple injuries including two broken vertebrae from his spinal cord, and his face and knees were smashed using a hammer. sourced to Catholic Monitor, Doran, and Cantilero has its tags removed here by E.M.Gregory as "removing MSJapan's untruthful tags." The Catholic Monitor ref says, Douglas knows first-hand the effects of violence. He still has a bullet lodged in his leg and has back problems from being beaten with chains when he was kidnapped in 2006. The Doran ref says "Nearly a decade before in Baghdad, he was kidnapped by Shiite militias and tortured, losing several teeth in the process, which have since been replaced." The Cantilero ref states In 2006, Catholic priest Father Douglas Bazi was taken by Islamists who tortured him until a ransom was paid. The priest had to endure a terrible ordeal in the hands of his abductors who struck his back, broke one of his legs, shot him, and punched his teeth out. none of these sources supports the claim made in the article, and in fact, EMG's reply to "listen to the BBC interview", supports my point in the AfD was that BBC radio program was where it was sourced from in the first place, not the other three sources I tagged.
He was released after a ransom was paid by the church. has its tag removed for Asianews.it here. The source states, Fr Doglas Yousef Al Bazi, the Chaldean parish priest of St Elias in Baghdad, is safe and sound, at home once again. He was released last night after being kidnapped for nine days.. There's a further brief "no comment" from the bishop as well. No ransom is mentioned in this source as stated in the article.
In this diff EMG has now moved the $170,000 ransom statement up to be cited by the same above sources, but claims in the edit summary it's only sourced to Catholic Review. On top of that, nowhere in the ref is $170,000 mentioned.
This is why they were tagged, and there is no reason those tags should have been removed as "untruthful". MSJapan ( talk) 16:01, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Do you think full protection is really necessary at Denali? Because it's in the news, the article is getting a lot of attention. Yes, there was an edit war amongst two users, but there's also a lot of constructive editing happening and active, good faith discussion about other, non-contentious improvements to the article. It's a shame to cut that off while the article gets lots of attention; might a stern warning or a block to the two editors who are edit warring stem the damage without preventing other improvements, particularly since both editors have said they'll stop at WP:AN/3RR and are engaging in discussion? —Alex ( Ashill | talk | contribs) 17:42, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

I see you've rangeblocked the Best known for IP's VTR Chile access (200.83.0.0/16) for 6 months due to chronic block evasion. I seem to recall a discussion in the past that /16 rangeblocks introduced too much collateral; I was looking at a /20 block this morning and decided that was just too much. The main reason I can think of sticking with /16 is that I don't think too many people in Santiago edit the English Wikipedia so collateral is minimal. What do you think?

Why did you block Aaronisafish so quickly? I had just sent him a friendly message. It seems like he just didn't know that he should use the sandbox. I know he made 3 annoying edits in a row, but they happened so quickly that I'm not sure that he had a chance to read the warnings. Little Runs With Scissors ( talk) 11:11, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I have the ability to tell that he bypassed the warnings. Just today I was blocked from making an edit! (wrongfully) Someone had (nearly) blanked a page, so I undid that, but then I realised that it wasn't an article but was their own talk page. When I clicked "undo" to undo my own edit, Wikipedia wouldn't let me because it thought that I was blanking a page (even though I was only undoing my own edit). Anyway, I don't know how to look up your history or anything, but it looks like you've been around longer than me, so maybe things were different when you got here, but to give you the perspective of a newcomer, wikipedia feels like a hostile place where everything you do is recorded for eternity and I hate to say that it makes me feel like I want to leave! :( Little Runs With Scissors ( talk) 11:25, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
I feel like I've ruined my wikipedia account today! I went a couple years without anyone noticing me: just being a fly on the wall making completely uncontroversial edits, and now not only did you welcome me, but then I tried delete that message (since I had already read it, so there is no reason for it to persist. I'm the kind of person who deletes emails once I've read them.), and now not only was my talk page not deleted, but to make things worse, someone has left another message on my talk page explaining to me why talk pages are not deleted, and in doing so, documented the fact that I wanted it deleted in the first place, which just makes it worse. User_talk:Little_Runs_With_Scissors
I was specifically trying not to correct vandalism today. I was just trying to revert test edits (ones that would have been more appropriate for the sandbox).
I'm going to log in long enough to see if you have any suggestions, but after that I think I'm abandoning wikipedia. I don't want to have conversations with people that can never be deleted. It bothers me, and I don't think that I'm the only one. Maybe you can suggest that wikipedia be changed so that if both parties of a conversation want it deleted, then it can be (I don't know how to suggest such things). If you do ever suggest that, you will probably link to this message, which is ironic because I wish this message could be deleted, although as I am typing, I know it never will be. This text that I am typing will live longer than I do.
My first experience with wikipedia was probably 10 years ago. I edited a page without logging in. My edits were not reverted, but someone starting discussing it with me on my IP's talk page. I don't know if wikipedia still works this way, but at the time, this caused everyone in my building to get the message (and to be able to see the page that I had edited). There was nothing embarrassing about the conversation or the page that I had been editing, but when I tried to get the talk page for my IP deleted, at first it was refused. When I asked the user why they had refused to delete it, they apologized and said that they had not read the talk page and had assumed I was trying to escape from some vandalism warnings. Seeing as that was not the case, the page was eventually deleted.
I just wish that these conversations were more ephemeral. Little Runs With Scissors ( talk) 11:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Slakr, hi. Thanks for this change [4]. Only if you look at what you did you reverted back to the edition that I placed the category Request for Adminship. And that is wrong. Because that article is about the tools and mechanics about requests, doesn't seem to have names of people. Well I couldn't find the correct page. So when I said "successful requests" I meant that the "request" was successful in that my page was launched, not successful in terms of the goal. No that as you say is premature. So which is the correct category to get my name listed with everyone else trying for adminship? This way my page just sits and nobody sees it. Mendezes Cousins ( talk) 17:30, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Slakr,
128.187.97.20 (Actually, it's 128.187.97.18-27) is currently blocked as a proxy by Procsee Bot. We've got some students at BYU hoping to register accounts for their class this fall and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to change the block setting to allow for account creation. I don't actually think BYU is operating an open proxy (there's an older block request which suggests it may be a local proxy for other BYU activity), though I don't have the means or know-how to verify this personally.

Hello Slakr. I have just picked up your message relating to "Blocking". I also received similar notices re: some edits I had tried to make elsewhere. These were all just concurrent rather than a concerted attempt at spam. I have since been directed to the COI pages and understand why I was blocked - and apologise. I am very new to "Wiki" and had not seen the possibility of conflict. I was, after all, attempting to add the web site for the Church, on it's village or own page,which is who the ggmbenefice represents. We are the new web site for the very subject of that page. Looking more closely at the reams of material on editing, it seems that "external links" may be the course I should have run. However I am still unsure and do not wish to have the possibility of permanent blocking created by ignorance. Your advice would be gratefully received and I shall not attempt any further edits until I am sure that we comply with accepted practices. I hope to hear form you. Thanks.

Hi - thanks for the block, but he admits to editing logged out and most of his edits come from a 117 range, see [5] [6] [7]. Besides his poor language and original research, adding material to articles where the sources don't discuss the subject, he also is copying sentences from copyright sources. It would take far too long to check them all. I don't think we can block the range, so probably semi-protection is in order - could you do it? I'm not sure if I'm too involved or not. Thanks.

GeneticsAccording to the phylogeographic distribution of haplotypes observed among South Asian populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, the possibility arose of Y-DNA haplogroup F and mtDNA Haplogroup M might have originated in South Asia. [1] The presence of several haplogroup F, Haplogroup M and K that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that a coastal of early human migration out of Africa carried ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of the Indian subcontinent, or that some of them originated there. [2] Studies based on mtDNA variation have reported genetic unity across various Indian sub–populations. [3] [4] [5] [6] The early Dravidian speakers have a epipaleolithic heritage with origins in South Asian. Based on both archaeobotanical material evidence and colloquial agricultural terms, independent centers of agriculture domestication took place within Indian-Subcontient. [7] [8] [9] Subsequently, the Indo-Aryan migration into subcontinent from Sintashta culture about 4,000 ybp. [8] [10] [11] and the Tibeto-Burmans and Austroasiatics via the Himalayan and north-eastern borders of the subcontinent around 4,200 ybp. [12] The most frequent mtDNA haplogroups in the Indian subcontinent are M, R and U. [13] All major Y chromosome DNA haplogroups in the subcontinent are Haplogroup F's descendant haplogroups R (mostly R2a, R2 and R1a1), L, H and J (mostly J2). [14] Haplogroup F itself is found mostly in South Asia. [1]other notable haplogroups include O3 among Tibeto-Burman speakers, O2a among Austroasiatic speakers, G, Haplogroup P and T. [15] Arguing for the longer term "rival Y-Chromosome model", [1] It is highly suggestive that India is the origin of the Eurasian mtDNA haplogroups which he calls the "Eurasian Eves". According to Oppenheimer it is highly probable that nearly all human maternal lineages in Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe descended from only four mtDNA lines that originated in South Asia 50,000-100,000 years ago.

First sentence - problem there was copyright - "According to the phylogeographic distribution of haplotypes observed among South Asian populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, the possibility arose of Y-DNA haplogroup F and mtDNA Haplogroup M might have originated in South Asia." is copyvio from the source with a possible pov change: "On the basis of the combined phylogeographic distributions of haplotypes observed among populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, candidate HGs that most plausibly arose in situ within the boundaries of present-day India include C5-M356, F*-M89, H-M69*" [8]
Second sentence: "The presence of several haplogroup F, Haplogroup M and K that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that a coastal of early human migration out of Africa carried ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of the Indian subcontinent, or that some of them originated there" cf with "The presence of several subclusters of F and K (H, L, R2, and F*) that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that the coastal (southern route) migration(s) from Africa carried the ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of Indian subcontinent (or that some of them originated there)." [9]
Another: "Based on both archaeobotanical material evidence and colloquial agricultural terms, independent centers of agriculture domestication took place within Indian-Subcontient(sic) cf with "Fuller finds that “evidence based on both archaeo-botanical material and colloquial agricultural terms more parsimoniously postulates that early Dravidian had an epipaleolithic pre-agricultural heritage” and that it “originated near a South Asian core region”" which is either from [10] or Fuller's original work.
"the most frequent mtDNA haplogroups in the Indian subcontinent are M, R and U" - besides not being clearly relevant to anything, it was originally sourced from [11] and the new source [12] doesn't clearly state that, it appears to be cherry-picked/original research.
"All major Y chromosome DNA haplogroups in the subcontinent are Haplogroup F's descendant haplogroups R (mostly R2a, R2 and R1a1), L, H and J (mostly J2)." is from this 205 file [13] and has the same problem, it doesn't clearly state that.
"notable haplogroups include O3 among Tibeto-Burman speakers, O2a among Austroasiatic speakers, G, Haplogroup P and T." but the source says nothing about notable haplogroups.
"Arguing for the longer term "rival Y-Chromosome model",[1] It is highly suggestive that India is the origin of the Eurasian mtDNA haplogroups which he calls the "Eurasian Eves". According to Oppenheimer it is highly probable that nearly all human maternal lineages in Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe descended from only four mtDNA lines that originated in South Asia 50,000-100,000 years ago". It isn't clear why you are using Sengupta here, and the quote ""rival Y-Chromosome model" is not in that source. As my edit summary said, Wikipedia shouldn't be telling readers what is "highly suggestive". Then out of nowhere comes a 'he', then someone with the surname Oppenheimer who isn't identified. And as I've said, I don't think Oppenheimer is really a reliable source for this - I guess also WP:UNDUE would come in, as well as what some might read as Sengupta et al's support for this.

Nice race to the finish with the page protection on Guy Fieri. I'm sorry that you finished second ;-) HA. I'm just messing with you. But seriously, thanks for jumping on that request so quickly.

Immediately after sanctioning Springee with a 1RR, he's taken back to reverting the Southern Strategy article [16]. Now, I know he's allowed 1 revert a day, but this is more than just a revert, it's carrying on the edit war that was just addressed on the noticeboard. He literally just reverted the last edit I made before he filed an edit war complaint. The information he's put back into the article is non-verifiable. I asked him to supply a quote for it on the talk page and have pointed out that the word "non-factor" doesn't appear anywhere in the source, yet he still insists on including this information in the article and hasn't supplied a quote to substantiate the information in question. I am asking for assistance on how to approach this issue and your help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide any diffs for the statements above if it's necessary.

The last comment in that discussion was mine. I had just discovered what I thought was critical information to inform the decision concerning a possible merge with Wah Cantonment, because I think they are the same place. Why close the AfD when such new and compelling information had just come to light? If it's true, the solution would be easy - merge. We could have a consensus right then instead of having to go through the process again. I would just like to know your reasoning. I don't mean to argue, but I would like to know if there is something I missed, like whether there is a better forum for this sort of thing? Your close just said there was no consensus, with no further comments. Is there anything else I should know? Thanks - Dcs002 ( talk) 00:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I was working on improving the article for Nature Hills Nursery, and the page was deleted. I was wondering if you could help me improve it, so it meets Wikipedia standards? Here is the old URL: /info/en/?search=Nature_Hills_Nursery
Nature Hills was just highlighted by Silicon Prairie News in this article, which I think has some great information: http://siliconprairienews.com/2015/11/nature-hills-brings-e-commerce-2-0-to-the-gardening-industy/
I was also trying to add a few images to the article as well, but couldn't get that to work.
Are you able to help me with this? I wasn't able to find where the old information was either.

I "DELETED" my article "Larry Geller". It showed it was deleted. Then, I "created" and it said to go to User draft instead of draft so I did. Then a big STOP button and said there was already a page called Larry Geller (which I deleted). This gets more complicated every single minute. I've never run across a more complicated process in my life.
I deleted the article to start over with a very SHORT article. Now, I'm being stopped even doing this? What is with this site?
Also, I signed my name with Chris Coffey 19:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC) AFTER and this is what they said I should do but I still got a comment from you or someone saying I should do this - I DID! What is going on???

In case you missed it, I posted a question to you (or anyone else who sees fit to answer it) here. NCdave ( talk) 01:28, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
I have a comment/question about the ruling here [18] that applies to me. First, I want to make sure I'm clear on what counts as a revert. I understand that two back to back edits are just 1. If I'm changing relatively static parts of the article (say material that has been unchanged for say 2 weeks or 1 month) does that count as a revert or just a new edit? I assume adding new material does not count as a revert? If I change a paragraph in say section 1, another edit makes a change, then I change material in section 2, does that count as a 1RR violation?
I ask all of this because I fear that Scoobydunk will try to take advantage of the 1RR sanction to "win" edit wars and to "punish" me for sins he feels I have committed. I noted earlier today on the AIEW link (above) Scoobydunk recently attempted to bring ANI sanctions against me. The complaint was seen as an attempt to carry an edit dispute to the ANI scope and came to nothing. I think his claim that he was unfamiliar with the rules is questionable. However, if the rules also require an official warning then I understand. May I close by asking what might be considered targeted edit warring against me by Scoobydunk under the current situation where he is not under 1RR rules. Thanks and sorry for the trouble Springee ( talk) 13:59, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Alert}}
in the topic area while Scoobydunk had not until now. In response to the second issue, we also have
a guideline pertaining to gaming the system, as this has frequently been an issue that arises. Plus, we're fairly strict about
battleground-like behavior when it comes to people worrying about "winning" with regard to content disputes. Edit warring is just one of the most obvious incarnations of that issue, but it's taken on many forms, and, in the worst cases of it, the community (that always has interests outside the topic area) simply declines to allow it to continue happening (hence the reason for things like
discretionary sanctions). --

He Slakr, I am not familiar with much of the discretionary sanctions (as I avoid editing them mostly because of the chilling effect of all the notes on the talk page ;-), but saw one appearing on Trans-Pacific Partnership. There is arguably some discussions (and also some edit warring) going on, but I didn't see any reason for discretionary sanctions. The link relates to US politics (and related people), but this agreement is one of many agreements to which the US is a negotiator (e.g. ACTA). Are you sure this is in the scope? Or has there been some kind of discussion regarding adding this? L.tak ( talk) 14:41, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

However,
"The Internet is the last bastion of true free speech. Wikipedia embodies free speech at its finest. I think it does a better job at filtering fact from fiction than real life ever could. Seriously, how often can you slap a citation needed tag on someone's nonsense? How often can they slap one on you back? How often are they actually verified? Even better, we don't have to worry as much about corporate interests, liberal/conservative bias, and/or campaign contributions. Everyone keeps everyone else in check-- without guns, bombs, white ghost costumes, or other attacks. I like to learn, and I wish more people did too." -slakr
Where am I deferent from you. I only brought fact to fiction. The world said "who is the other guy on the cover, it looks like IVERSON" , but it's me.
I'm the only one who got blocked from playing in the league because I served my country. I am a victim of conservative bias. And, in trying to correct it I was told I was wrong. If you know about what Ed Obanon did so that former NBA players could be paid for use of likeness, imagine what I'm facing when I'm on the cover and DIDNT play in the NBA. That's my fight right now. I have to fight the system to be heard and I thought wiki was the place where truth gets posted and is able to stand. I'm not fully trying to use wiki as a weapon, however the more people who can FREELY ATTAIN the truth, will break down these barriers.

I've seen a number of other edit war notices get closed but I've seen no review of mine one way or the other. Is there a way to know if the complaint is being reviewed?

Hi Slakr. I'd like your recommendation on how to best handle sending a series of tasks through the bot approval process. I'm currently working on reducing the backlog at WP:TFD/H. In many cases, the templates that are being merged have high transclusion counts and the process of the merge can be handled partially or completely with AWB. The tasks don't take very long to write the regex for and test on my end, so I've been churning them out fairly quickly. I've written two today, for instance.
I'm not quite sure how I should go about bot approvals for these. If I were to submit a BRFA for each task immediately as it were finished, it would probably bludgeon the process to death. I've been told of a past situation where a bot operator received general approval to handle these types of tasks at their discretion, but I have not been around long enough to develop a reputation to allow for such a carte blanche approval. The third option appears to be to sit on these tasks and wait for my existing BRFAs to go through before submitting additional ones, but that makes it very difficult to work through the backlog at any meaningful rate.
Do you have any suggestions on how best to proceed? I'm trying to balance accountability, the limited time of the BAG, and the need to work through this backlog, but I'm not seeing any way forward where one of those doesn't have to give. Is there a fourth option I'm missing? ~ Rob Talk 05:20, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
There are several mexican telenovela pages that have to be moved .I have tried to speak to Phillip J Fry who blanyantly refused to move them to their original titles.This is because they are not changed in English speaking countries.The only thing changed is the dubbed subtitles.The names remain the same.They are The Stray Cat, Wild at Heart (telenovela), The Color of Passion, The Neighbor (telenovela).Moreso some of the channels in the internationals often change the english translation to their liking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nyanchoka ( talk • contribs) 21:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
The user Philip J Fry has been moving multiple pages without discussion until consensus is reached as I have explained the English titles often change.This has become difficult for the use to understand since he residents in a Spanish speaking country hence he does not experience the difficulty in using the English title.The English Title to my opinion is not supposed to be used in place of the original and the mover has not understood the impact of. this as I have explained it to him but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears and whenever he sends messages I barely comprehend them.Honestly I don't want a move war with a stubborn user.

Thank you for that note of understanding. It is hard to know what to do about an editor who puts an enormous amount of time into Wikipedia, so that his hounding of me looks infrequent - to everyone but me. He comes to AFDs to vote delete where I have given extensive evidence for keeping, deleting citations from articles with false claims that the citations do not support the material. Who would read through all those long articles to see what he is doing. Who would ever have the patience to read through all of the accusations he has posted at ANI to sort out the avalanche of half-truths and untruths? The energy he puts into dogging my every step is remarkable. The slander of me is wearying. And there does appear to be a political motivation - I find Islamism noteworthy, he prefers to edit out material from reliable publications about Islamist violence, and to delete material and articles showing Islamist militants in a negative light. Most likely this reflects a leftist ideology interpreting Islamism as a reaction to Western imperialism and attacks on Muslim lands by Western countries. Since my editing is far above par, this is the only plausible explanation for the fact that he has expressed, multiple times, a desire to drive me off Wikipedia. Deletion of articles and material in support of this goal is not good editing. Moreover, there is an obsessive component to his attacks on me that makes him an uncongenial and destructive editor. The lack of good editing on mryiad articles on useful but uncontroversial topics shows, IMHO, the extent to which the notoriously battleground atmosphere and interminable wikilawyering make Wikipedia aversive, and drives away new editors. Mostly, however, I am hoping that if I refrain from responding and refrain form posting plong legal briefs at ANI, he will forget me and go away. Yesterday, when he aggressively, and for the second time, made dishonest assertions about news articles sourcing an article about an heroic priest running what is by all accounts an exemplary refugee camp in Iraqi Kurdistan - I lost it. I am sorry that I engaged him. It, and the support given by a handful of other editors, only has the effect of encouraging him and helps make Wikipedia a nasty place to work.

My failed verification tags were removed as "untruthful" by EM Gregory. I have listed below the statements sourced, the diffs where the tags were removed, links to the sources, and the extent of the source content related to the article content in the source that was tagged.
He was tortured and released nine days later. He suffered multiple injuries including two broken vertebrae from his spinal cord, and his face and knees were smashed using a hammer. sourced to Catholic Monitor, Doran, and Cantilero has its tags removed here by E.M.Gregory as "removing MSJapan's untruthful tags." The Catholic Monitor ref says, Douglas knows first-hand the effects of violence. He still has a bullet lodged in his leg and has back problems from being beaten with chains when he was kidnapped in 2006. The Doran ref says "Nearly a decade before in Baghdad, he was kidnapped by Shiite militias and tortured, losing several teeth in the process, which have since been replaced." The Cantilero ref states In 2006, Catholic priest Father Douglas Bazi was taken by Islamists who tortured him until a ransom was paid. The priest had to endure a terrible ordeal in the hands of his abductors who struck his back, broke one of his legs, shot him, and punched his teeth out. none of these sources supports the claim made in the article, and in fact, EMG's reply to "listen to the BBC interview", supports my point in the AfD was that BBC radio program was where it was sourced from in the first place, not the other three sources I tagged.
He was released after a ransom was paid by the church. has its tag removed for Asianews.it here. The source states, Fr Doglas Yousef Al Bazi, the Chaldean parish priest of St Elias in Baghdad, is safe and sound, at home once again. He was released last night after being kidnapped for nine days.. There's a further brief "no comment" from the bishop as well. No ransom is mentioned in this source as stated in the article.
In this diff EMG has now moved the $170,000 ransom statement up to be cited by the same above sources, but claims in the edit summary it's only sourced to Catholic Review. On top of that, nowhere in the ref is $170,000 mentioned.
This is why they were tagged, and there is no reason those tags should have been removed as "untruthful". MSJapan ( talk) 16:01, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Do you think full protection is really necessary at Denali? Because it's in the news, the article is getting a lot of attention. Yes, there was an edit war amongst two users, but there's also a lot of constructive editing happening and active, good faith discussion about other, non-contentious improvements to the article. It's a shame to cut that off while the article gets lots of attention; might a stern warning or a block to the two editors who are edit warring stem the damage without preventing other improvements, particularly since both editors have said they'll stop at WP:AN/3RR and are engaging in discussion? —Alex ( Ashill | talk | contribs) 17:42, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

I see you've rangeblocked the Best known for IP's VTR Chile access (200.83.0.0/16) for 6 months due to chronic block evasion. I seem to recall a discussion in the past that /16 rangeblocks introduced too much collateral; I was looking at a /20 block this morning and decided that was just too much.

Why did you block Aaronisafish so quickly? I had just sent him a friendly message. It seems like he just didn't know that he should use the sandbox.

I'm not sure if I have the ability to tell that he bypassed the warnings. Just today I was blocked from making an edit! (wrongfully) Someone had (nearly) blanked a page, so I undid that, but then I realised that it wasn't an article but was their own talk page. When I clicked "undo" to undo my own edit, Wikipedia wouldn't let me because it thought that I was blanking a page (even though I was only undoing my own edit). Anyway, I don't know how to look up your history or anything, but it looks like you've been around longer than me, so maybe things were different when you got here, but to give you the perspective of a newcomer, wikipedia feels like a hostile place where everything you do is recorded for eternity and I hate to say that it makes me feel like I want to leave! :( Little Runs With Scissors ( talk) 11:25, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
I feel like I've ruined my wikipedia account today! I went a couple years without anyone noticing me: just being a fly on the wall making completely uncontroversial edits, and now not only did you welcome me, but then I tried delete that message (since I had already read it, so there is no reason for it to persist. I'm the kind of person who deletes emails once I've read them.), and now not only was my talk page not deleted, but to make things worse, someone has left another message on my talk page explaining to me why talk pages are not deleted, and in doing so, documented the fact that I wanted it deleted in the first place, which just makes it worse. User_talk:Little_Runs_With_Scissors
I was specifically trying not to correct vandalism today. I was just trying to revert test edits (ones that would have been more appropriate for the sandbox).
I'm going to log in long enough to see if you have any suggestions, but after that I think I'm abandoning wikipedia. I don't want to have conversations with people that can never be deleted. It bothers me, and I don't think that I'm the only one. Maybe you can suggest that wikipedia be changed so that if both parties of a conversation want it deleted, then it can be (I don't know how to suggest such things). If you do ever suggest that, you will probably link to this message, which is ironic because I wish this message could be deleted, although as I am typing, I know it never will be. This text that I am typing will live longer than I do.
My first experience with wikipedia was probably 10 years ago. I edited a page without logging in. My edits were not reverted, but someone starting discussing it with me on my IP's talk page. I don't know if wikipedia still works this way, but at the time, this caused everyone in my building to get the message (and to be able to see the page that I had edited). There was nothing embarrassing about the conversation or the page that I had been editing, but when I tried to get the talk page for my IP deleted, at first it was refused. When I asked the user why they had refused to delete it, they apologized and said that they had not read the talk page and had assumed I was trying to escape from some vandalism warnings. Seeing as that was not the case, the page was eventually deleted.
I just wish that these conversations were more ephemeral. Little Runs With Scissors ( talk) 11:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Because that article is about the tools and mechanics about requests, doesn't seem to have names of people. Well I couldn't find the correct page. So when I said "successful requests" I meant that the "request" was successful in that my page was launched, not successful in terms of the goal. No that as you say is premature.

Is there any way that you can enforce some sort of protection like the one on the Xbox 360 system software article on the Xbox One system software article, as we're getting a number of disruptive edits? Thanks. Wagnerp16 ( talk) 07:29, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Slakr,
128.187.97.20 (Actually, it's 128.187.97.18-27) is currently blocked as a proxy by Procsee Bot. We've got some students at BYU hoping to register accounts for their class this fall and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to change the block setting to allow for account creation. I don't actually think BYU is operating an open proxy (there's an older block request which suggests it may be a local proxy for other BYU activity), though I don't have the means or know-how to verify this personally. Let me know if there's any info I can run down to help. Thanks. Adam (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 20:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello Slakr. I have just picked up your message relating to "Blocking". I also received similar notices re: some edits I had tried to make elsewhere. These were all just concurrent rather than a concerted attempt at spam. I have since been directed to the COI pages and understand why I was blocked - and apologise. I am very new to "Wiki" and had not seen the possibility of conflict. I was, after all, attempting to add the web site for the Church, on it's village or own page,which is who the ggmbenefice represents. We are the new web site for the very subject of that page. Looking more closely at the reams of material on editing, it seems that "external links" may be the course I should have run. However I am still unsure and do not wish to have the possibility of permanent blocking created by ignorance. Your advice would be gratefully received and I shall not attempt any further edits until I am sure that we comply with accepted practices. I hope to hear form you. Thanks. Ggmbenefice ( talk) 19:53, 1 October 2015 (UTC).

Hi Slakr! I saw this where you blocked an IP for being a sockpuppet. The thing is, all of these IPs are that same person (and there's even more still I just can't be bothered to keep updating it). Cebr1979 ( talk) 07:18, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi - thanks for the block, but he admits to editing logged out and most of his edits come from a 117 range, see [5] [6] [7]. Besides his poor language and original research, adding material to articles where the sources don't discuss the subject, he also is copying sentences from copyright sources. It would take far too long to check them all. I don't think we can block the range, so probably semi-protection is in order - could you do it? I'm not sure if I'm too involved or not. Thanks. Doug Weller ( talk) 09:08, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
I have given proper sources to each topic, unlike you who keeps undoing given sources. I'll list each sources that you seem to have problem with.

GeneticsAccording to the phylogeographic distribution of haplotypes observed among South Asian populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, the possibility arose of Y-DNA haplogroup F and mtDNA Haplogroup M might have originated in South Asia. [1] The presence of several haplogroup F, Haplogroup M and K that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that a coastal of early human migration out of Africa carried ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of the Indian subcontinent, or that some of them originated there. [2] Studies based on mtDNA variation have reported genetic unity across various Indian sub–populations. [3] [4] [5] [6] The early Dravidian speakers have a epipaleolithic heritage with origins in South Asian. Based on both archaeobotanical material evidence and colloquial agricultural terms, independent centers of agriculture domestication took place within Indian-Subcontient. [7] [8] [9] Subsequently, the Indo-Aryan migration into subcontinent from Sintashta culture about 4,000 ybp. [8] [10] [11] and the Tibeto-Burmans and Austroasiatics via the Himalayan and north-eastern borders of the subcontinent around 4,200 ybp. [12] The most frequent mtDNA haplogroups in the Indian subcontinent are M, R and U. [13] All major Y chromosome DNA haplogroups in the subcontinent are Haplogroup F's descendant haplogroups R (mostly R2a, R2 and R1a1), L, H and J (mostly J2). [14] Haplogroup F itself is found mostly in South Asia. [1]other notable haplogroups include O3 among Tibeto-Burman speakers, O2a among Austroasiatic speakers, G, Haplogroup P and T. [15] Arguing for the longer term "rival Y-Chromosome model", [1] It is highly suggestive that India is the origin of the Eurasian mtDNA haplogroups which he calls the "Eurasian Eves". According to Oppenheimer it is highly probable that nearly all human maternal lineages in Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe descended from only four mtDNA lines that originated in South Asia 50,000-100,000 years ago.

First sentence - problem there was copyright - "According to the phylogeographic distribution of haplotypes observed among South Asian populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, the possibility arose of Y-DNA haplogroup F and mtDNA Haplogroup M might have originated in South Asia." is copyvio from the source with a possible pov change: "On the basis of the combined phylogeographic distributions of haplotypes observed among populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, candidate HGs that most plausibly arose in situ within the boundaries of present-day India include C5-M356, F*-M89, H-M69*" [8]
Second sentence: "The presence of several haplogroup F, Haplogroup M and K that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that a coastal of early human migration out of Africa carried ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of the Indian subcontinent, or that some of them originated there" cf with "The presence of several subclusters of F and K (H, L, R2, and F*) that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that the coastal (southern route) migration(s) from Africa carried the ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of Indian subcontinent (or that some of them originated there)." [9]
Another: "Based on both archaeobotanical material evidence and colloquial agricultural terms, independent centers of agriculture domestication took place within Indian-Subcontient(sic) cf with "Fuller finds that “evidence based on both archaeo-botanical material and colloquial agricultural terms more parsimoniously postulates that early Dravidian had an epipaleolithic pre-agricultural heritage” and that it “originated near a South Asian core region”" which is either from [10] or Fuller's original work.
"the most frequent mtDNA haplogroups in the Indian subcontinent are M, R and U" - besides not being clearly relevant to anything, it was originally sourced from [11] and the new source [12] doesn't clearly state that, it appears to be cherry-picked/original research.
"All major Y chromosome DNA haplogroups in the subcontinent are Haplogroup F's descendant haplogroups R (mostly R2a, R2 and R1a1), L, H and J (mostly J2)." is from this 205 file [13] and has the same problem, it doesn't clearly state that.
"notable haplogroups include O3 among Tibeto-Burman speakers, O2a among Austroasiatic speakers, G, Haplogroup P and T." but the source says nothing about notable haplogroups.
"Arguing for the longer term "rival Y-Chromosome model",[1] It is highly suggestive that India is the origin of the Eurasian mtDNA haplogroups which he calls the "Eurasian Eves". According to Oppenheimer it is highly probable that nearly all human maternal lineages in Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe descended from only four mtDNA lines that originated in South Asia 50,000-100,000 years ago". It isn't clear why you are using Sengupta here, and the quote ""rival Y-Chromosome model" is not in that source. As my edit summary said, Wikipedia shouldn't be telling readers what is "highly suggestive". Then out of nowhere comes a 'he', then someone with the surname Oppenheimer who isn't identified. And as I've said, I don't think Oppenheimer is really a reliable source for this - I guess also WP:UNDUE would come in, as well as what some might read as Sengupta et al's support for this.

At the bug templated to your right, we have asked the mediawiki developers to implement a village pump consensus to have all posts automatically signed whenever the editor clicks a "sign this post" checkbox. The developers are concerned about the complexity of this task, but these complexities are ones that you have already effectively solved with Sinebot. I was hoping you could chime in at that bug on phabricator so you could maybe provide code, or help out in other ways. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy ( talk) 04:48, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Nice race to the finish with the page protection on Guy Fieri. I'm sorry that you finished second ;-) HA. I'm just messing with you. But seriously, thanks for jumping on that request so quickly.

Immediately after sanctioning Springee with a 1RR, he's taken back to reverting the Southern Strategy article [16]. Now, I know he's allowed 1 revert a day, but this is more than just a revert, it's carrying on the edit war that was just addressed on the noticeboard. He literally just reverted the last edit I made before he filed an edit war complaint. The information he's put back into the article is non-verifiable. I asked him to supply a quote for it on the talk page and have pointed out that the word "non-factor" doesn't appear anywhere in the source, yet he still insists on including this information in the article and hasn't supplied a quote to substantiate the information in question. I am asking for assistance on how to approach this issue and your help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide any diffs for the statements above if it's necessary.

The last comment in that discussion was mine. I had just discovered what I thought was critical information to inform the decision concerning a possible merge with Wah Cantonment, because I think they are the same place. Why close the AfD when such new and compelling information had just come to light? If it's true, the solution would be easy - merge. We could have a consensus right then instead of having to go through the process again. I would just like to know your reasoning. I don't mean to argue, but I would like to know if there is something I missed, like whether there is a better forum for this sort of thing? Your close just said there was no consensus, with no further comments. Is there anything else I should know? Thanks - Dcs002 ( talk) 00:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I was working on improving the article for Nature Hills Nursery, and the page was deleted. I was wondering if you could help me improve it, so it meets Wikipedia standards? Here is the old URL: /info/en/?search=Nature_Hills_Nursery
Nature Hills was just highlighted by Silicon Prairie News in this article, which I think has some great information: http://siliconprairienews.com/2015/11/nature-hills-brings-e-commerce-2-0-to-the-gardening-industy/
I was also trying to add a few images to the article as well, but couldn't get that to work.
Are you able to help me with this? I wasn't able to find where the old information was either.

I "DELETED" my article "Larry Geller". It showed it was deleted. Then, I "created" and it said to go to User draft instead of draft so I did. Then a big STOP button and said there was already a page called Larry Geller (which I deleted). This gets more complicated every single minute. I've never run across a more complicated process in my life.
I deleted the article to start over with a very SHORT article. Now, I'm being stopped even doing this? What is with this site?
Also, I signed my name with Chris Coffey 19:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC) AFTER and this is what they said I should do but I still got a comment from you or someone saying I should do this - I DID! What is going on???

In case you missed it, I posted a question to you (or anyone else who sees fit to answer it) here. NCdave ( talk) 01:28, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
I have a comment/question about the ruling here [18] that applies to me. First, I want to make sure I'm clear on what counts as a revert. I understand that two back to back edits are just 1. If I'm changing relatively static parts of the article (say material that has been unchanged for say 2 weeks or 1 month) does that count as a revert or just a new edit? I assume adding new material does not count as a revert? If I change a paragraph in say section 1, another edit makes a change, then I change material in section 2, does that count as a 1RR violation?
I ask all of this because I fear that Scoobydunk will try to take advantage of the 1RR sanction to "win" edit wars and to "punish" me for sins he feels I have committed. I noted earlier today on the AIEW link (above) Scoobydunk recently attempted to bring ANI sanctions against me. The complaint was seen as an attempt to carry an edit dispute to the ANI scope and came to nothing. I think his claim that he was unfamiliar with the rules is questionable. However, if the rules also require an official warning then I understand. May I close by asking what might be considered targeted edit warring against me by Scoobydunk under the current situation where he is not under 1RR rules. Thanks and sorry for the trouble Springee ( talk) 13:59, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
{{
Alert}}
in the topic area while Scoobydunk had not until now. In response to the second issue, we also have
a guideline pertaining to gaming the system, as this has frequently been an issue that arises. Plus, we're fairly strict about
battleground-like behavior when it comes to people worrying about "winning" with regard to content disputes. Edit warring is just one of the most obvious incarnations of that issue, but it's taken on many forms, and, in the worst cases of it, the community (that always has interests outside the topic area) simply declines to allow it to continue happening (hence the reason for things like
discretionary sanctions). --

Hello Slakr. I hope you don't mind a bit of humor every now and then. I see you are from Dallas. My daughter goes to school in Dallas so I have a little experience with its hellish summer heat, but in general I think it's a nice enough place, especially the food and the football.

He Slakr, I am not familiar with much of the discretionary sanctions (as I avoid editing them mostly because of the chilling effect of all the notes on the talk page ;-), but saw one appearing on Trans-Pacific Partnership. There is arguably some discussions (and also some edit warring) going on, but I didn't see any reason for discretionary sanctions. The link relates to US politics (and related people), but this agreement is one of many agreements to which the US is a negotiator (e.g. ACTA). Are you sure this is in the scope? Or has there been some kind of discussion regarding adding this? L.tak ( talk) 14:41, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
