I don't understand why you did what you did with User:Paulkutty — you blocked the username, even though you didn't do anything to the page's creator, User:PaUl KuMaR (paulkutty). The shorter username has never made any edits, and the connection between the two is obvious, so the accounts aren't a violation of WP:ILLEGIT; unless PaUl hasn't been doing something wrong, why block his alternate account? And if he's been doing something wrong, why not block the main username, rather than just blocking the alternate? Nyttend ( talk) 03:03, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

One of my detractors has been following my work pretty closely and trying to identify copyvios and/or close paraphrases in my writing. My question is this: am I allowed to do the same to them, or would that be seen as inappropriate? I identified some pretty serious issues in one of their FAs, but I don't want to edit that talk page and be accused of impropriety. What should I do? RO (talk) 21:55, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the Barnstar! I haven't uploaded images for quite a while, but you've reminded me that I should make some more time to put more up. (Everything on my Flickr is Creative Commons BY-SA though, if there's anything you ever find useful!) Helenabella (Talk) 00:48, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
If Wiki is open-source, and is about people/places/ and/or things that exist, then why was my article deleted? Aaron La Lux is an author, and is published, and does exist. Please clarify, as this is truly dis-heartening on so many levels... It feels like the suppression of information which is the exact opposite of what I thought the internet was supposed to be. It honestly makes me want to stop donating to Wiki. Please just clarify. I read the links and I understand that Wiki is not for advertising and/or promotion. SO just tell me how people are supposed to know about people/places/things if no one can post about them in the first place?
Please Advise as I am new to this and you obviously have much more experience than me there.
Thanks!

Thank you for communicating so thoroughly and although it is indeed a feeling of bittersweet mixed emotions that you were the one to delete the article as well as the one to inform me as to the reasons, I suppose that it is one of the glorious things about the internet...

Basically I remember that as once a title is placed between square brackets the text is linked to a page on the W of the same language, and the shortened version of the 'other language' like 'en' for English, links it to that title in that language, but there is, I believe a semicolon, or colon included somewhere, to direct the link to the other language, something that I have not been able to figure out yet.

hello Yunshui, you sent me a message regarding my changes to Joan Fontaine's page. She was my neighbor on Lower Walden rd. in Carmel highlands California. My reference is a primary reference. however I am sure there are many other places where the information can be found. Joan Fontaine did not live in Carmel, but rather lived and died in Carmel Highlands california on Lower Walden rd. Clayton.
I just speedy deleted the redirect Reshoring per WP:CSD#G6 because it was holding up an Articles for Creation submission with the same name. This article therefore now has 10 deleted edits. Would be appropriate to restore these via a history merge? As there is no overlap between any of the edits, it should be relatively straightforward. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:42, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello, sorry to bother you, but I tried logging into User:Doughnuthead but the BASC application is preventing me from sending an email. It says my email was never authenticated, and as this is an account I set up back in 2009 I don't know where I can get the verification from. But as far as my unblock/ban goes, my compromise is you get the opinions of the main users I had run-ins with which led to my ban. Contact User:MuZemike, User:Boing! said Zebedee, User:Philosopher and User:thejadefalcon (I think the latter might be retired though). It's only fair that me getting back on the site is judged on the opinions of those I affected most- it's the moral thing I suppose. If you want details of what led to my ban, it is on a double account from 2012 called User:RedBullWarrior but be aware this is not behavior I intend to repeat.-- 89.243.205.141 ( talk) 14:16, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

13:52, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Hi. I'd like to revdel this diff, simply because the editor posted their email address in it (it's redacted on later revisions). However, the revdel box brings up a big scary "FOR OVERSIGHTERS ONLY" heading above the appropriate option I want to select (which is personal information). I seem to recall ages ago I put in a request to oversight an email address on a help desk and it was declined. What's normal procedure here? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, since you are such an experienced user and admin, I wanted to know whether my AfD stats indicate that I have well understanding of various notability guidelines? I feel that I should try RfA in 1 or 2 years. Regards, -- Skr15081997 ( talk) 14:13, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
( stalking) I came here to ask Yunshui something else, but I'll just give you my 2c ... you are a good editor with over 10,000 article edits, a couple of GAs under your belt and a specialist on Indian culture, which is a big and emerging topic around here. That's probably good enough to tick the "content" part of RfA. By all means give FA a go, but don't do it just because you want to be an admin, do it because you want to make one of the best articles Wikipedia has ever produced. Like Yunshui, I think a lot of your AfD votes are of the "me too" variety, and I'd look again at the AfDs where you didn't match consensus, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fitoor just to refresh your memory in how the discussion went. Have a look at something like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Michigan Men's Glee Club where I had to fight tooth and nail and retrospectively add about 30-40 reliable sources to stop that article being deleted. It's now a GA :-)
The biggest question I would ask is : what do you want to do with the tools? We do need more admins (Categories for Deletion and media copyrights are woefully understaffed), but we need them to be enthusiastic about the areas they want to work in. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello yunshui, after long time hope you are doing well. I fame face a problem here , it seems the edits just changes name and edits same spam page! how to counter this?
Hi Yunshui, if you have time, could you take a quick look at Information About Gautam Karve ( talk · contribs). Babitaarora ( talk/ contribs) 07:25, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
I just would like to enquire with regard to your decision to blocking TPA (and restoring block notices) for 86.174.163.210 - as per WP:BLANKING and WP:DRC it appears that the user is entitled to remove block notices if he/she so wishes?

Cavarrone, I'm sorry for that. I was operating from my smartphone (which is touchscreen) earlier and accidentally hit rollback. This kind of error is commonplace when viewing ones watch list from an iPhone. Obviously, I wasn't aware I had done this and if I was I would've self reverted immediately. Still, nice of you to assume good faith by leaving a pointy and hugely patronising edit summary, so thanks for that! Cassianto Talk 11:03, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Yunshui, thank you for providing room for this amicable talk of alleged infobox warriors. I woke up thinking if you might be willing to host a subpage where such things could be discussed - neutral ground, such as "User:Yunshui/Infobox talk". I started something but am known as not neutral ;) - Cassianto: what do you think about an identibox for Le Mesurier after the model of Percy Grainger, for a compromise? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:51, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

That's probably good enough to tick the "content" part of RfA. By all means give FA a go, but don't do it just because you want to be an admin, do it because you want to make one of the best articles Wikipedia has ever produced. Like Yunshui, I think a lot of your AfD votes are of the "me too" variety, and I'd look again at the AfDs where you didn't match consensus, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fitoor just to refresh your memory in how the discussion went. Have a look at something like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Michigan Men's Glee Club where I had to fight tooth and nail and retrospectively add about 30-40 reliable sources to stop that article being deleted. It's now a GA :-)
The biggest question I would ask is : what do you want to do with the tools? We do need more admins (Categories for Deletion and media copyrights are woefully understaffed), but we need them to be enthusiastic about the areas they want to work in. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello yunshui, after long time hope you are doing well. I fame face a problem here , it seems the edits just changes name and edits same spam page! how to counter this?
Hi Yunshui, if you have time, could you take a quick look at Information About Gautam Karve ( talk · contribs). Babitaarora ( talk/ contribs) 07:25, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
I just would like to enquire with regard to your decision to blocking TPA (and restoring block notices) for 86.174.163.210 - as per WP:BLANKING and WP:DRC it appears that the user is entitled to remove block notices if he/she so wishes?

You are a check user and administrator. Can you join this discussuion.-- C E ( talk) 13:40, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
It's not often that an admin gets into a national newspaper just for doing a page protection. It is currently the headline (that won't last, but hey). Congrats. Manning ( talk) 02:35, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
harmonious acting
Thank you for quality articles for projects Japan, China and Korea, and catching facts about them, such as
Gao Ming, for warning vandals and acting against them, for helping newbies and
not-so-newbies harmoniously, for adopting and retaining users, - you are an
awesome Wikipedian!
Two years ago, you were the 501st recipient of my Pumpkin Sky Prize, and thank you for the peace bell, - I am ringing today ;)-- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:40, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Did you check to see if they are coming from one range that could be blocked? Doug Weller ( talk) 12:55, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
You blocked Rucha karve as a sock account of Gmkarve. I think they created another account called About Gautam Karve. - Supdiop talk 06:30, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui, while using STiki I came across an editor who might have a COI with The Hollywood Reporter. They have asked for my help on my talk page. ( [1]) They also haven't performed any controversial edits till now.( [2]) I have asked them to provide sources for the changes they want me to make. Regards, -- Skr15081997 ( talk) 03:19, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
You might want to take a look at some of the other revdeled edits in GW's talk page history if you're not already, as far as oversight goes. Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 19:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Cavarrone, I'm sorry for that. I was operating from my smartphone (which is touchscreen) earlier and accidentally hit rollback. This kind of error is commonplace when viewing ones watch list from an iPhone. Obviously, I wasn't aware I had done this and if I was I would've self reverted immediately. Still, nice of you to assume good faith by leaving a pointy and hugely patronising edit summary, so thanks for that! Cassianto Talk 11:03, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Yunshui, thank you for providing room for this amicable talk of alleged infobox warriors. I woke up thinking if you might be willing to host a subpage where such things could be discussed - neutral ground, such as "User:Yunshui/Infobox talk". I started something but am known as not neutral ;) - Cassianto: what do you think about an identibox for Le Mesurier after the model of Percy Grainger, for a compromise? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:51, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Yunshui. I can finally recover my account somehow just because you helped me out. :) PawanAhuja ( talk) 16:17, 9 June 2015 (UTC) |
Glad I could help -= thanks for the star. Yunshui 雲 水 19:04, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
