Name Change of the article "Persecution of Chinese Indians"

Hi Mr Kamtal, Can you please provide your view on the discussion Talk:Persecution of Chinese Indians # Requested move 4 April 2020? I think the name should be Internment of Chinese-Indians, similar to what mentioned in Internment of Japanese Americans, an incident happened during WWII. -- Methu1 ( talk) 13:58, 9 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi Kamtal75, I don't know if I'm right; but, I believe that this article ( 2020 Delhi riots) violates some WP:NOPV. We are having a talk in Talk:2020_Delhi_riots#NOPV_of_the_article. Suggest me if I'm going in the right direction. I'm not sure if you have expertise in this type of article. If possible provide you view on this or guide me if I'm wrong.-- Methu1 ( talk) 21:37, 15 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hi Kamtal75! I noticed that you marked an edit as minor at Battle of Luding Bridge that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Information icon Hello, I'm Firefangledfeathers. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Charles Hoskinson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Firefangledfeathers ( talk | contribs) 03:01, 11 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi Kamtal75, hope you're doing well. Did you get a chance to read WP:BLPPRIVACY? We shouldn't be using voter registration records to make points about where people live, and it doesn't improve if we leave it unsourced. If there are reliable, secondary sources that say Hoskinson lied about his residence, then we might have reason to include that in his article. Hope this explanation helps. Happy to answer follow-up questions. Firefangledfeathers ( talk | contribs) 03:10, 11 March 2022 (UTC) reply
I see. In that case, would you accept these secondary sources as authoritative in the sense that they only mention Charles being in Longmont instead of in Boulder?

Neither looks particularly reliable. Both say he had an office in Longmont, and the first mentions a ranch there. Neither is usable to claim that he's been misleading about his residence. Putting together different sources together to make a claim that isn't made explicitly by a source is inappropriate synthesis, a kind of original research, which we avoid here.

You have been reverted by 4 different users, your claim that you are trying to stop disruptive editing is false. You have been at this since December 2022, you are not improving the William Davis article. You have also been creating accounts to attack other users [1], [2] and using different IPs to evade your block [3], [4]. As I explained on the talk-page [5] your tedious editing is not productive on this article. In total your behaviour has been disruptive and problematic, and looks like blatant trolling. I believe you should be indef blocked. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 15:23, 30 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Not sure what to say about creation of accounts, but I don't think that it is fair to characterize mine as one "used primarily for disruption" WP:DE. I should add that good faith edits I made to the Davis page have now (finally) been upheld by other editors. I should also add that I think an indefinite block seems excessively harsh, especially after already being blocked for two weeks.

When you know what to say about the creation of the other accounts, but not before, you are free to make an unblock request. I suggest no sooner than six months from now, under WP:SO. Yamla ( talk) 19:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

I just submitted a block appeal request through UTRS, but was told that I should post this request on my talk page instead.

"Why should you be unblocked? I believe that, although my editing style might be unorthodox, my edits on Wikipedia have been constructive overall and have helped the project. Therefore, I think that using the argument of WP:NOTHERE to block my account is not accurate/reasonable. Furthermore, user Psychologist Guy in particular has distorted what I have written and reversed chronologies to portray me as "very deceptive" (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kamtal75, specifically paragraph featuring the expression "shifted gears"). This user has also used generalities such as "matching writing style" and leaving "reply" in edit summaries to accuse me of sockpuppetry—the second of which was called into question by admin jpgordon. I should add that the claim of my edits on the William Davis page being disruptive also does not seem accurate, as I was not vandalizing the page but rather applying MOS (albeit very strictly) to improve it."

Decline reason:

You still do not discuss your abusive creation of accounts. You aren't blocked for vandalism, but for disruptive editing. I would question as to if you have the requisite skills and attitude needed to participate here. Since you seem to think that you were being helpful and constructive when you were not, there are no grounds to remove the block. I second the suggestion from Yamla above that you not attempt another request for six months- as you are quickly running out of chances. 331dot ( talk) 09:09, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

I actually did discuss the account creation allegations in this previous unblock request. I am not sure that I understand how waiting six months to submit another unblock request would necessarily help anyone (perhaps something that is easy to say when your account isn't blocked!). As for whether my edits overall have been constructive, I think that it is clear that they are. I suppose that someone could make assumptions about my faith/attitude, but the fact is that my edits have by and large been accepted and are the standard on most pages I have edited—even the Davis page.

Decline reason:

This unblock request does not address the concern which caused the editor to be blocked, which is the repeated inserting of information to the Davis article. It does not matter if the overall sum of your edits was good or bad, but rather if the block prevents disruption, which it does because it stops you from editing the Davis article. It does not matter if the edits were eventually accepted because you caused a large amount of disruption with these edits. In future unblock requests, please describe:

  1. What is a edit war ( WP:EW)
  2. Why it is disruptive to create multiple accounts in order to continue an edit war.
  3. What should you do instead if an editor reverts your edit ( WP:BRD) Z1720 ( talk) 20:04, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

Reactivating my block appeal request because I believe that it was not given due consideration. There was virtually no discussion or debate and only a (now deleted) ad hominem attack. I have no recollection of making a Wikipedia edit "back in February," and, even if that were the case, that would have occurred well after six months since the block was imposed, and shouldn't invalidate the "Standard Offer." Kamtal75 ( talk) 17:31, 30 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Decline reason:

I find no sincerity in the request and deliberate obtuseness in the discussion below. Neither whether or not you recall making an attack or when it fell removes it from existence, and arguing technicalities gives me no confidence the behavior won't resume. I'd advocate productively editing elsewhere for some months and building a track record before appealing again. Star Mississippi 01:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

How can I edit "elsewhere for some months" and build "a track record before appealing again" when I am blocked? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamtal75 ( talkcontribs)

Your block only applies to en.wikipedia, not to other projects. -- Yamla ( talk) 11:35, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

This seems like a dismissive and insincere suggestion. What other language do you suggest I master to edit projects besides en.Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamtal75 ( talkcontribs)

It definitely doesn't need to be a wikimedia project. Any wiki would suffice. If you insist on a wikimedia project and if English is your only language (I don't mean to be dismissive, it's the only language I can converse in), there's Wikimedia Commons and there's simple.wikipedia. -- Yamla ( talk) 21:54, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the clarification. Nevertheless, this reinforces my impression that many of the admins above have an attitude of "kicking the can down the road" to avoid lifting the capricious block on my account that has dragged on for ten months now: "Oh, just wait some more months before appealing again. Work on other projects. Show more sincerity" etc.

Neither looks particularly reliable. Both say he had an office in Longmont, and the first mentions a ranch there. Neither is usable to claim that he's been misleading about his residence. Putting together different sources together to make a claim that isn't made explicitly by a source is inappropriate synthesis, a kind of original research, which we avoid here.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   Ponyo bons mots 21:20, 14 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • You created two accounts, FckyouRoxy and FckyouRoxyandMissSmith, specifically to harass another editor. I seriously contemplated blocking you indefinitely but mustered as much good faith as I could that this is a one time occurance that will never be repeated. -- Ponyo bons mots 21:20, 14 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

It was not a mistake. Two accounts were created on your device to harass an individual with whom you had previous conflicts regarding possessive 's'.-- Ponyo bons mots 23:13, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Is there any proof of this? If so, I can only imagine that my account was hacked.

Checkusers can see the technical data regarding your account. It would be extremely unusual for someone to hack your account to specifically target an editor you are in a dispute with.-- Ponyo bons mots 17:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply

You have been reverted by 4 different users, your claim that you are trying to stop disruptive editing is false. You have been at this since December 2022, you are not improving the William Davis article. You have also been creating accounts to attack other users [1], [2] and using different IPs to evade your block [3], [4]. As I explained on the talk-page [5] your tedious editing is not productive on this article. In total your behaviour has been disruptive and problematic, and looks like blatant trolling. I believe you should be indef blocked. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 15:23, 30 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

Not sure what to say about creation of accounts, but I don't think that it is fair to characterize mine as one "used primarily for disruption" WP:DE. I should add that good faith edits I made to the Davis page have now (finally) been upheld by other editors. I should also add that I think an indefinite block seems excessively harsh, especially after already being blocked for two weeks.

When you know what to say about the creation of the other accounts, but not before, you are free to make an unblock request. I suggest no sooner than six months from now, under WP:SO. Yamla ( talk) 19:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

I just submitted a block appeal request through UTRS, but was told that I should post this request on my talk page instead.

"Why should you be unblocked? I believe that, although my editing style might be unorthodox, my edits on Wikipedia have been constructive overall and have helped the project. Therefore, I think that using the argument of WP:NOTHERE to block my account is not accurate/reasonable. Furthermore, user Psychologist Guy in particular has distorted what I have written and reversed chronologies to portray me as "very deceptive" (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kamtal75, specifically paragraph featuring the expression "shifted gears"). This user has also used generalities such as "matching writing style" and leaving "reply" in edit summaries to accuse me of sockpuppetry—the second of which was called into question by admin jpgordon. I should add that the claim of my edits on the William Davis page being disruptive also does not seem accurate, as I was not vandalizing the page but rather applying MOS (albeit very strictly) to improve it."

Decline reason:

You still do not discuss your abusive creation of accounts. You aren't blocked for vandalism, but for disruptive editing. I would question as to if you have the requisite skills and attitude needed to participate here. Since you seem to think that you were being helpful and constructive when you were not, there are no grounds to remove the block. I second the suggestion from Yamla above that you not attempt another request for six months- as you are quickly running out of chances. 331dot ( talk) 09:09, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

I actually did discuss the account creation allegations in this previous unblock request. I am not sure that I understand how waiting six months to submit another unblock request would necessarily help anyone (perhaps something that is easy to say when your account isn't blocked!). As for whether my edits overall have been constructive, I think that it is clear that they are. I suppose that someone could make assumptions about my faith/attitude, but the fact is that my edits have by and large been accepted and are the standard on most pages I have edited—even the Davis page.

Decline reason:

This unblock request does not address the concern which caused the editor to be blocked, which is the repeated inserting of information to the Davis article. It does not matter if the overall sum of your edits was good or bad, but rather if the block prevents disruption, which it does because it stops you from editing the Davis article. It does not matter if the edits were eventually accepted because you caused a large amount of disruption with these edits. In future unblock requests, please describe:

  1. What is a edit war ( WP:EW)
  2. Why it is disruptive to create multiple accounts in order to continue an edit war.

Request reason:

Reactivating my block appeal request because I believe that it was not given due consideration. There was virtually no discussion or debate and only a (now deleted) ad hominem attack. I have no recollection of making a Wikipedia edit "back in February," and, even if that were the case, that would have occurred well after six months since the block was imposed, and shouldn't invalidate the "Standard Offer."

I find no sincerity in the request and deliberate obtuseness in the discussion below. Neither whether or not you recall making an attack or when it fell removes it from existence, and arguing technicalities gives me no confidence the behavior won't resume.

How can I edit "elsewhere for some months" and build "a track record before appealing again" when I am blocked? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamtal75 ( talkcontribs)

Your block only applies to en.wikipedia, not to other projects. -- Yamla ( talk) 11:35, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

This seems like a dismissive and insincere suggestion. What other language do you suggest I master to edit projects besides en.Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamtal75 ( talkcontribs)

It definitely doesn't need to be a wikimedia project. Any wiki would suffice. If you insist on a wikimedia project and if English is your only language (I don't mean to be dismissive, it's the only language I can converse in), there's Wikimedia Commons and there's simple.wikipedia. -- Yamla ( talk) 21:54, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the clarification. Nevertheless, this reinforces my impression that many of the admins above have an attitude of "kicking the can down the road" to avoid lifting the capricious block on my account that has dragged on for ten months now: "Oh, just wait some more months before appealing again. Work on other projects. Show more sincerity" etc.
