An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect SaveasPDFandXPS. Since you had some involvement with the SaveasPDFandXPS redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 15:00, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello, given your userbox I thought you might be interested in helping Carl Malamud's case for the public domain, crucial also for Wikisource: https://boingboing.net/2019/04/25/happy-law-day.html . Best regards, Nemo 21:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Please revert the IP's edits – as an examination of the references added by the IP should make obvious (as in common sense), it's blatantly conspiratorial bad-faith trolling. Monnet was not a "CIA operative" by any means; it's a far-right conspiracy theory which is not substantiated by any source, and none of the references in the article actually substantiates it. Mélencron ( talk) 16:27, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
I will note that the page has now been protected in the state including the changes which are disputed; normally, per WP:BRD, controversial changes are kept out until consensus is achieved. I'll also note that having the primary description in the lede of "CIA operative" is inappropriate unless the person spent their entire career as a CIA employee, everything else in their life being secondary to that. Whether this person worked with the CIA at some point, they do not appear to have been primarily a CIA employee. Tarl N. ( discuss) 16:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
You blocked this user for "Promotional username, promotional edits". I believe that Schaumloeffel is the user's actual last name based on the copyright notice at the bottom of the website, and while I certainly don't condone promotional editing, I don't think we should indef people for one edit linking to their personal website. shoy ( reactions) 15:06, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
I think you have misjudged ClappedCuck. So did I, at first. The person is inexperienced and inexpert, but seems to be making good-faith edits. Their changes to List of school shootings in the United States and George Faulkner (ice hockey) have both turned out to be correct, and the school shooting contribution is actually very interesting and helpful (although the other one may be WP:UNDUE). The person has also responded well to User talk page dialog. I suggest removing that block. — BarrelProof ( talk) 15:09, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
BarrelProof Thanks for the comment. Again, the user is free to seek a review of the block per the message on their page. The deleted page was done by another admin for improper use of wikipedia as a webhost. Their edit here, whilst not the worst thing ever, does not give me confidence they are here to progress the project. I am willing to overlook minor mistakes, particularly by new users, and they are free to contest the block and explain their intent to convince me or another admin they should be given another chance.

Hello! Recently, you left a message on my talk page concerning a file I had uploaded who's source was incorrectly marked (a mistake entirely my own fault.) After searching through Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, I was unable to find it. I searched for "File:Genetically_Modified_Skeptic" because that's at least the first part of the file's name. Since this yielded no results, I was wondering if the image has been removed, and if not, how I can access it to amend these issues? Thank you in advance. Singularities421 ( talk) 21:01, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
In that case, I'll simply not re-upload the file, as it was to be unique to the deleted article and I doubt that enough relevant and reliable sources will become available anytime soon. Thank you for the quick response and happy sailing! Singularities421 ( talk) 22:45, 5 May 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 02:53, 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)

Shouldn't a soft block still allow account creation so that they can still create an account with an appropriate username? - 216.25.187.5 ( talk) 12:46, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Ummm, the account was blocked for sockpuppetry for promotion, every article created is autobiographical or promotion. The report was for promotion, from the outside looking in it doesn't seem like you looked into this, you saw the word sock-puppet and stopped. This may not be in the best of AGF but it's what it looks like. User:Akashjyotinath is the issue I refer to. Hell in a Bucket ( talk) 15:36, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi NJA. Just letting you know that I have unblocked this user, per their new username, apparent understanding of policy, and agreement to follow said policy going forward. Any problems, give me a ping. All the best, Yunshui 雲 水 08:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
blocks are dealt from AIV. There's even a specific soft-block template designed to suit such purposes. And, we over OTRS routinely verify user-accounts with RL personalities.
Blocking such accounts who claim to be the subject (and make dubious edits) over their own biography is needed to protect their own RL reputation from being damaged by a media-article which discusses at length, about how the subject is whitewashing his own biography, when it was actually a joe-job by an impersonator.
That was a bad decline. ∯WBG converse 16:45, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi NJA,
You declined my report of User:184.103.180.91 on WP:AIV saying they had been "incorrectly or insufficiently warned". Could I respectfully ask you to take another look at this one? This is a long-term block evading vandal - see User:Railfan23/CapVandals. This user has been warned multiple times, yet persists in making disruptive changes. It's clearly the same individual IP-hopping - note the WHOIS records that show they are all using the same ISP from the same ZIP code, and making the same changes to the same articles. They have been blocked three times on three different IPs for these exact edits, and are evading their current block and continuing to vandalize the same articles. I believe sufficient and correct warnings have been given to this user. Thanks, Railfan23 ( talk) 15:42, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi there,
May I ask for your rationale for the duration that you chose to block this IP address for?
Aside from their long block log: [1] (although that's obviously not very relevant anymore--since the IPs last block expired in 2017), it looks like every single edit that was made in 2019 so far has been vandalism of some sort. On that note, I would have expected the IP to be blocked for at least a few weeks if not more. Regards. 123.218.188.28 ( talk) 19:30, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Whether true or not, the source is from books written in the 20th Century by Psychologists. They are not historical in nature but are humanistic writings based on a non-exact science of Psychology. Though the “Roman authorities” tried hard to avoid Christians, the explanation given in one source states: Ref. “The Emotional Life of Nations. New York: Karnac. ISBN 1-892746-98-0. Both Christians and Jews "engaged in a contest and reflection about the new-fangled practice of martyrdom,"191 even unto suicide...and Augustine spoke of "the mania for self-destruction" of early Christians.192 But the Christians, following Tertullian's dicta that "martyrdom is required by God," forced their own martyrdom so they could die in an ecstatic trance: "Although their tortures were gruesome, the martyrs did not suffer, enjoying their analgesic state."195” This is a personal point of view by observance alone, not by experience. It may have appeared to the bystander that this was so, but to the one martyred, there was more to it as a Christian. Christianity is not that same as the Muslim who would carelessly strap a bomb to his waist for a promise of Vestal Virgins forever in eternity. The Scriptures clearly teach that life is precious, and we should not seek martyrdom, but if martyrdom finds its way to us, we are not to love this life unto death. This author is misled, supposing to inflect his own opinion to the masses and to mar the faith of Christianity. This was only the “VIEW” of Tertullian, but other Christians avoided martyrdom. In this article, there is no reference to a specific Tertullian work where it is written about “Tertullian's dicta”. -- Mitchlock ( talk) 20:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

I provided a reason for why Au5:Draft did not deserve to be deleted but it was subsequently ignored. I want to know what I should do such that the article has a chance to be on the main wiki now that the DRAFT ARTICLE is banned from being created. I thought the purpose of a draft article was such that fellow editors could contribute to improving the article? As I have the previous source code, I thought the first appropriate step was to put the previously deleted article on the draft such that it can be improved. Unfortunately, these attempts are quickly removed as the article was "too similar" to the previous one. As the source code was from the previously deleted article on Au5, how am I supposed to make it look significantly different to avoid deletion? Is there any way the Au5 article has a chance to make it onto the main wikispace? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LivinAWestLife ( talk • contribs)

Regarding this edit sumarry: I tried to address this very issue and was basically told "a lot of those names get blocked eventually so the reports must be working." I don't buy that at all as what is being reported is generally not actually username violations at all, but with so little input in the discussion nothing happened. Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:19, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi there,
I was just trying to edit an article to discover I wasn't logged in and my current IP address was blocked due to your rangeblock. I thought I'd let you know that that is a rather excessive range to block. It blocks one eighth of the 2a02:c78::/29 range which is the only IPv6 range assigned to BSkyB, the UK's second largest ISP accounting for 22% of our internet connections.
This IPv6 block is not assigned geographically at all, for instance my IP geolocates to Manchester (Central England), but I'm in Aberdeen (North of Scotland). So essentially, you've blocked 2.75% of UK internet connections more or less at random. Please could you consider unblocking this range and being slightly less sweeping with your rangeblocks in future? Thanks, -- Newbiepedian ( talk · C · X! · L) 19:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi NJA! I was patrolling through ANI and saw your closing notes on this ANI report. I just wanted to let you know that I looked through those edits by the IP user and didn't see anything that required suppression. There were a couple of edit summaries that I restored public visibility to due to not meeting the RD2 criterion for being a serious BLP violation, and of those some I corrected to be revdel'd under RD3 instead... I just figured that I'd have your back and fix that for you. ;-) Thanks for adding the closing note with a suggestion for an oversighter to take a look; everything should be all set to go. :-) If you have questions, please don't hesitate to respond and let me know (ping me in your response; I'm not actively watching this page) and I'll be happy to answer them.

Hi, you kindly dealt with my vandalism report about the IP user talk:80.5.138.14 who was changing several British BLP pages to say the subject was English rather than British by blocking them for 31 hours.

Hey NJA- I had a quick question and would like some further clarification on an external link that I thought would have clarified an entry a bit more.
I believe the link I posted was comparable to most of the other links on that page that were directing people to the specific prize-linked savings account programs.

Hi, I am quite surprised about your comment on my editing of the Cognac voice. Since you have undone the comment and marked it as non constructive I guess you understand that the part that you have put back is completely wrong. It is stated that Cognac goes from 70% alcohol to 40% just by ageing and alcohol evaporation. This is simply wrong. I removed that part and added a simple sentence to explain how you reduce the alcohol content from 70% to 40% (adding water).

Hello NJA, I'm wondering about this edit/undo you made in the History section. In the British Iron Age article, the lede says "typically excluding prehistoric Ireland". The change of link made by TickPaddy to Irish Iron Age (a section in Prehistoric Ireland) seemed reasonable. But as the first-mentioned ringfort dates from the Stone Age and the second from much later, perhaps post-Iron Age, my inclination would be to drop mention of an Iron Age altogether.

Hello NJA. Just a friendly reminder: according to the

), e.g.

I'm new with Wikipedia, not using it, but editing. It'd be nice if I could remove "Draft" from the page title, but I guess I have to wait.

Hey, could you help me with Patrick Fiori's Wikipedia page? I think someone from the Philippines vandalized Patrick's page and added a bunch of Filipino stuff that Patrick never did. I tried to fix it but I think I accidentally took out a few things in the singles table and forgot what was there before. Here's the page: /info/en/?search=Patrick_Fiori
If anything, I think there should be a page protection to keep this from happening again. This isn't good, and I wish to keep it as accurate as the French Wikipedia page has it for Patrick Fiori. Anything you can do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please revert the IP's edits – as an examination of the references added by the IP should make obvious (as in common sense), it's blatantly conspiratorial bad-faith trolling. Monnet was not a "CIA operative" by any means; it's a far-right conspiracy theory which is not substantiated by any source, and none of the references in the article actually substantiates it. Mélencron ( talk) 16:27, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
I will note that the page has now been protected in the state including the changes which are disputed; normally, per WP:BRD, controversial changes are kept out until consensus is achieved. I'll also note that having the primary description in the lede of "CIA operative" is inappropriate unless the person spent their entire career as a CIA employee, everything else in their life being secondary to that. Whether this person worked with the CIA at some point, they do not appear to have been primarily a CIA employee. Tarl N. ( discuss) 16:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
You blocked this user for "Promotional username, promotional edits".

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 02:53, 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)

blocks are dealt from AIV. There's even a specific soft-block template designed to suit such purposes. And, we over OTRS routinely verify user-accounts with RL personalities.
Blocking such accounts who claim to be the subject (and make dubious edits) over their own biography is needed to protect their own RL reputation from being damaged by a media-article which discusses at length, about how the subject is whitewashing his own biography, when it was actually a joe-job by an impersonator.

Hi NJA,
You declined my report of User:184.103.180.91 on WP:AIV saying they had been "incorrectly or insufficiently warned". Could I respectfully ask you to take another look at this one? This is a long-term block evading vandal - see User:Railfan23/CapVandals. This user has been warned multiple times, yet persists in making disruptive changes. It's clearly the same individual IP-hopping - note the WHOIS records that show they are all using the same ISP from the same ZIP code, and making the same changes to the same articles. They have been blocked three times on three different IPs for these exact edits, and are evading their current block and continuing to vandalize the same articles.

Hi there,
May I ask for your rationale for the duration that you chose to block this IP address for?
Aside from their long block log: [1] (although that's obviously not very relevant anymore--since the IPs last block expired in 2017), it looks like every single edit that was made in 2019 so far has been vandalism of some sort. On that note, I would have expected the IP to be blocked for at least a few weeks if not more. Regards. 123.218.188.28 ( talk) 19:30, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Whether true or not, the source is from books written in the 20th Century by Psychologists. They are not historical in nature but are humanistic writings based on a non-exact science of Psychology. Though the “Roman authorities” tried hard to avoid Christians, the explanation given in one source states: Ref. “The Emotional Life of Nations. New York: Karnac. ISBN 1-892746-98-0. Both Christians and Jews "engaged in a contest and reflection about the new-fangled practice of martyrdom,"191 even unto suicide...and Augustine spoke of "the mania for self-destruction" of early Christians.192 But the Christians, following Tertullian's dicta that "martyrdom is required by God," forced their own martyrdom so they could die in an ecstatic trance: "Although their tortures were gruesome, the martyrs did not suffer, enjoying their analgesic state."195” This is a personal point of view by observance alone, not by experience. It may have appeared to the bystander that this was so, but to the one martyred, there was more to it as a Christian. Christianity is not that same as the Muslim who would carelessly strap a bomb to his waist for a promise of Vestal Virgins forever in eternity. The Scriptures clearly teach that life is precious, and we should not seek martyrdom, but if martyrdom finds its way to us, we are not to love this life unto death. This author is misled, supposing to inflect his own opinion to the masses and to mar the faith of Christianity. This was only the “VIEW” of Tertullian, but other Christians avoided martyrdom. In this article, there is no reference to a specific Tertullian work where it is written about “Tertullian's dicta”. -- Mitchlock ( talk) 20:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

I provided a reason for why Au5:Draft did not deserve to be deleted but it was subsequently ignored. I want to know what I should do such that the article has a chance to be on the main wiki now that the DRAFT ARTICLE is banned from being created. I thought the purpose of a draft article was such that fellow editors could contribute to improving the article? As I have the previous source code, I thought the first appropriate step was to put the previously deleted article on the draft such that it can be improved. Unfortunately, these attempts are quickly removed as the article was "too similar" to the previous one. As the source code was from the previously deleted article on Au5, how am I supposed to make it look significantly different to avoid deletion?

Hi there,
I was just trying to edit an article to discover I wasn't logged in and my current IP address was blocked due to your rangeblock. I thought I'd let you know that that is a rather excessive range to block. It blocks one eighth of the 2a02:c78::/29 range which is the only IPv6 range assigned to BSkyB, the UK's second largest ISP accounting for 22% of our internet connections.
This IPv6 block is not assigned geographically at all, for instance my IP geolocates to Manchester (Central England), but I'm in Aberdeen (North of Scotland). So essentially, you've blocked 2.75% of UK internet connections more or less at random. Please could you consider unblocking this range and being slightly less sweeping with your rangeblocks in future? Thanks, -- Newbiepedian ( talk · C · X! · L) 19:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Hey NJA- I had a quick question and would like some further clarification on an external link that I thought would have clarified an entry a bit more.
I believe the link I posted was comparable to most of the other links on that page that were directing people to the specific prize-linked savings account programs.
Could you please elaborate on how the link I inserted is different from the links under the the following items: "Lucky Savers","Lucky Lagniappe", "Neighborhood Credit Union","Save to Win", and "Saver's Sweepstakes" — Preceding unsigned comment added by AneesHakim ( talk • contribs) 17:16, 26 June 2019 (UTC) @ AneesHakim:: honestly I can’t. What a rubbish article, but I cannot see a reason why I’d revert again in relation to that specific page. Normally the edit would be spam. Cheers -- N.J.A. | talk 17:35, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello NJA,
Seeing that you were the last one to edit Cody Fern's wikipedia page, I'm assuming that you said that his future character in American Horror Story: 1984 is to be named "Carlos" . I was writing to you to see if you can confirm it and to provide evidence.
I'd appreciate your honesty and cooperation.

Hi, I am quite surprised about your comment on my editing of the Cognac voice. Since you have undone the comment and marked it as non constructive I guess you understand that the part that you have put back is completely wrong. It is stated that Cognac goes from 70% alcohol to 40% just by ageing and alcohol evaporation. This is simply wrong. I removed that part and added a simple sentence to explain how you reduce the alcohol content from 70% to 40% (adding water). Before undoing please read carefully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lellowiki ( talk • contribs) 13:27, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello NJA, I'm wondering about this edit/undo you made in the History section. In the British Iron Age article, the lede says "typically excluding prehistoric Ireland". The change of link made by TickPaddy to Irish Iron Age (a section in Prehistoric Ireland) seemed reasonable. But as the first-mentioned ringfort dates from the Stone Age and the second from much later, perhaps post-Iron Age, my inclination would be to drop mention of an Iron Age altogether.

Hello NJA. You redirected two of my reports to COIN at AIV, but the guideline you link to seems to contradict your point. Accoriding to the guideline, cases of obvious
WP:SPAM can be reported to AIV. Both
User:Adedayo Ogunsanwo/sandbox and
User:AbhishekThakur11 seem to qualify as spam under
WP:BROCHURE (The same applies to pages in userspace and the draft namespace.
). Could you clarify as to why these instances cannot be dealt with at AIV? --

The CSD notice was placed here by twinkle, as you created the talk page of the user (to block them for username violations).
As they then added some promotional stuff, I tagged the page with G11, but as you created the page, twinkle notified you rather than the user. Should really have checked what twinkle was doing more closely Self-trout.

Hi I am a little confused, I made a report using twinkle by checking the "Account is a promotion-only account" on the AIV section as this was the only place it exists. I supplied the relevant information as I have done in the past for similar cases. This has always been dealt with by an admin usually with a block this is the first time I've been told to take it to COIN. I could have cited the user name as being violation of a promotional username. Would this have been more appropriate? -- Dom from Paris ( talk) 16:08, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello NJA. Just a friendly reminder: according to the

See, I'm not generally popular, so I decided to make myself a page - everything on the page is fact and biased or enhanced in any way. I'd rather be editing a page about me myself.
I'm new with Wikipedia, not using it, but editing. It'd be nice if I could remove "Draft" from the page title, but I guess I have to wait.

Bradv pinged me to check them after they requested an unblock on IRC, and I don't see any accounts other than the ones in their account creation log.

Hey, could you help me with Patrick Fiori's Wikipedia page? I think someone from the Philippines vandalized Patrick's page and added a bunch of Filipino stuff that Patrick never did. I tried to fix it but I think I accidentally took out a few things in the singles table and forgot what was there before. Here's the page: /info/en/?search=Patrick_Fiori
If anything, I think there should be a page protection to keep this from happening again. This isn't good, and I wish to keep it as accurate as the French Wikipedia page has it for Patrick Fiori. Anything you can do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I've noticed that there seems to still be some people messing with Patrick Fiori's page. Someone must really believe that Patrick Fiori is a singer and actor from the Philippines when he is NOT. Patrick is from France and has Armenian and Corsican ancestry. Even the other Wikipedias have this. Is there really someone out there that looks like Patrick, or is this some weird troll who won't stop? I'm so confused by all of this. O_o What is your opinion on all of this?

Please do something, even if it's to permanently protect the page from further edits until further notice. Sorry if I sound rude, but I'm just annoyed with these people and just want them to stop already. Why are they doing this? I just don't understand what is happening.
