Hey, why did you delete a significant portion of the table? I patterned the table after the Colleges of the University of Oxford. US States also have hundreds of articles regarding symbolism. I don't get it. Why wouldn't you allow a display of symbolism of a Philippine university, when there are hundreds of similar articles exist. The gargantuan table of College and permanent private hall arms and colours of the Colleges of the University of Oxford has only a single source, so I guess, it should also be deleted? Two similar timelines exist in the Colleges of the University of Cambridge and Colleges of the University of Oxford. Your disregard to someone's work is frustrating.

Sorry to be such a nudge about this, but Filetime's made changes to Madison Square and Madison Square Park and Stuyvesant Square, and when I disputed them, reverted, and immediately started a discussion on the talk page, all he does is revert to his own version, even telling me to "start the discussion, BMK:, when I had already done so.
Any chance you could warn him against edit warring instead of discussing? Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:38, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Maybe I spoke too soon:
Plus images in the two article I noted above. This is just today. It seems to me that he is not randomly fixing articles, he's specifically targeting my images. In some cases the images he chooses are better, but in others they are not. Still, I object to being targeted in this manner. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:20, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello, an IP user (this IP: [[1]] has just posted on the Talk page of Genetic studies on Jews whom I suspect of being a sock of the recently blocked user SteveBenassi. Like SteveBenassi, this user shows an interest in promoting certain genetic studies by Eran Elhaik and Yardumian and Shurr (and the post is not dissimilar to Benassi's), and this is the IP's only post (as far as I can tell). When I used the geolocate tool on the IP, I found that it was located the state of Minnesota (see here [[2]], the same state SteveBenasi claimed to live in on his user page (here: [[3]]. If it is not a sock, perhaps it is a meat puppet (some one he knows living in the same area perhaps?). Any attention is appreciated Skllagyook (talk) 15:38, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

On16 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lynching of Leonard Woods, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Leonard Woods, a Black miner accused of killing a white mine foreman from a prominent family, was possibly lynched to prevent a trial that could have tainted the reputation of the foreman and his family? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lynching of Leonard Woods. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lynching of Leonard Woods), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, can I put a case for Seanmhougan? They seem to be a new editor, who's so far only tried to edit the article Hand warmer, with a serious conflict of interest as they are employed by a manufacturer of hand-warmers. They got reverted umpteen times by MrOllie, once by me, and finally by you, and inevitably blocked.
Behind the scenes, rather than purely edit-warring, they did also put a message on MrOllie's talk-page[6], discussing in quite reasonable terms why they wanted the text in the article; I put a message on their Talk page [7] explaining what they were doing wrong, and explaining that they must declare their CoI. My post was at 20:09. They reverted MrOllie again at 20:49, were blocked by you at 20:50, and then wrote a reply to me on their talk page at 20:59. It's a bit weird that they replied to me when they must have seen the block notice underneath, without referring to the block, but from the timing, it's possible they hadn't seen my warning on their talk page before they committed the final revert.
In mitigation of their situation: (1) they are a very new editor who may have been unaware of the 3RR rules, or of conflicts of interest; (2) their attempt at discussion on MrOllie's page shows willingness to engage and discuss; (3) they had actually toned-down the commercial aspects of the text they inserted on beaver-skin hand-warmers and made it far more general and encyclopaedic, again showing willingness to follow the rules; (4) from the timing of events, it's possible they didn't see my explanation of what they were doing wrong, and warning about edit-warring until after they'd made the final revert; (5) their reply to me on their talk-page shows willingness to follow correct procedures, albeit rather retrospectively. I think there's a chance that this is a new editor attracted into WP by a theme that's personally important to them, who's messed up absolutely catastrophically in their first few days. It would have been nice to find out whether they are likely to have interests beyond hand-warmers. They certainly needed a really big warning to get their act together, but a permanent block offers no chance for redemption - and my feeling is that they're not totally irredeemable. But I'm (mercifully) not an admin, so good luck in evaluating these things! Elemimele (talk) 21:56, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I created the page for Gerald Gordon/Fairfax County Economic Development Authority more than 10 years ago and I no longer am connected with that organization so frankly I have no stake in what happens to that content. Have the rules changed since then? How do nonprofit organizations (such as Carolina Public Press) gain a presence on Wikipedia if their articles are not written by a staff member? Our goal is hardly self-promotion; it is simply to have a presence on the Wikipedia platform as other news publications do. Just wanted to be clear on that. Eacconcia (talk) 14:28, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Now, if you no longer work for Gordon or that Fairfax organization, you don't have to declare that, of course, but if you want to be involved, one way or another, with a CPC article, you will have to declare your COI. So please read the relevant guidelines and adhere to them: WP:COI. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:30, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Drmies!
Am new to Wikipedia - is this the right place/way to ask a question re recent edits to the UK Music page? Thanks UKMusiceditor (talk) 14:35, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Today I was somehow linked back to my AfD/DRV experiences with the page Involuntary Celibacy. I believe I saw your datestamp in some of those discussions. I must say these discussions, though they did not conclude in my favor, impacted my understanding of sourcing, consensus and process a great deal. It's very humorous to go back through old discussions and then use rollover to quickly see what's happened to those editors. Lotta blocks and abandoned user accounts. Especially humorous to see a page completely deleted and salted be recreated and repurposed entirely. Halcyon days... BusterD (talk) 19:03, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
We have an editor that continues to make changes that violate MOS:ERA and MOS:ENGVAR, despite being usually (but not always) quickly reverted, and multiple warnings/encouragements on their talk page. It's tedious to keep fixing these, especially if I don't catch them right away. Is there some standard procedure for dealing with this sort of thing? I'm avoiding naming the editor right now, as that may seem like I'm asking you to deal with it as an admin. I only want that if that's standard. --A D Monroe III(talk) 22:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

On26 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Twee minuten stilte, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Karel van het Reve, author of Twee minuten stilte (1959), inserted a fake letter to the publisher in the first edition which was real enough for later book owners to return the letter to the author?

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Twee minuten stilte), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

You might want to inform this editor that Wikipedia and its mirror sites are not reliable sources. Judging from the previous warnings on their talk page, I figured a word from you would be taken more seriously. They also added a "source" with a ?phone number? included? Very odd. --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Drmies. I'm having an issue with the ownership an editor has taken of the article Nicki Minaj. I've noticed many others have pointed out in his talk page that this is a repeated behavior. Asking for an experienced, third-party opinion, for a less-biased lead section of the mentioned article. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 23:51, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Anyway, this is really a matter for the talk page, and that should be tried before you go to ANI, and if you take it to ANI, you should probably ping Beeblebrox and the others who they've been in conflict with. Besides that, this is one of those GAs that I find unreadable--too full of detail, many of which are pedestrian and others just lists of things. The size alone is--well, that's pop culture on Wikipedia, I guess. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 01:43, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Who in their first recent edit describes this horror as "the left theory of the State supermacy [sic.] over the people".

I made the mistake of looking at the deleted revisions of Iris Wilson, and my brain has shut down at the sight of [[Child prodigy|child prdogy]]
in the first revision. Why would someone misspell it so badly, but then pipe the wikilink to the correct article??? Like, clearly they knew it was misspelled or they wouldn't have had to pipe it, but they didn't feel the need to just fix the spelling instead? I don't think my brain is going to let me think about anything else for the rest of the day. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:56, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Drmies! Hope you're well. I was wondering, are there any policies that relate to taking discussions off-wiki? Following recent edits to Kwak Dong-yeon, User:Samekizofu seems to be under the impression that their edits had already been "approved" and "agreed to". After seeing their comments on User talk:Aoowassana it seems they want to take their discussion of the edits privately, off of Wikipedia. Are there any polices on this you could direct me to? Additionally, do you have any advice for the information that was added? It seems heavily biased in my opinion, but I'm not sure the best advice or polices/guidelines to direct the editor to. Alex (talk) 15:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
My English is not that well I accept, but the information I added was already revised by a native English speakers from England. Also all the informations I added have proper citations, I also shorthen and summarized them with @Aoowassana. Its not fan stuff like what you said. About Fan Meeting, why it should not be added? It's also part of his career. The fans have to pay for expensive tickets in order to attend, its not like they are free fan meeting. Other Korean actors also have these details in their pages. Samekizofu (talk) 15:49, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
There shouldn't be any problem with me and editor @Aoowassana to have private talk right? I meant no harm, i just afraid that my edit will be deleted all again like this, so i asked her to approve it first before i added to Wikipedia. Thats all. Please understand this matter Samekizofu (talk) 16:03, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
I understand what @alex and @drmies trying to tell me now about my edits were too biased. From now on I'll try to edit and rephrase some information in the more proper format. And if i want to discuss off-wiki i ll do as @drmies told me. Im new to editing Wikipedia, so i dont know that i can also discuss like that here too.
About fan meeting, please delete those information from other korean actors pages as well.. You should have the same standard right? Here are some that i found (some are in fanmeeting section, and some in Career section) Kim soohyun Cha eunwoo Lee joon gi Park bo gum Song joong ki Jang ki yong
Also, I ll add some information that i consider its not too biased on Kwak Dong-yeon's page later, so please help revise again when i add them. Thank you so much Samekizofu (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know, as a watcher and on-and-off editor of The Suicide Squad (film) article and a colleague of User:Adamstom.97, that User:ErnestoCabral2018 was the one who was vandalizing the article with unsourced statements that were unsupported by the present sources, and that Adam was reverting the vandal's constant additions in the edit war.

Hello Drmies, I don't know if this is the right way to communicate with you but I wish to send you a draft for the Renzo Martens page so you can check for promotional or advertising material. This is not my intention. You have been removing new content, that I added to the Renzo Martens page today, but you have also removed content that was already there; the paragraph about Martens' work Episode I.

I am rather bemused that I was blocked for breaching the terms of a warning before that warning was issued: that does not seem like a sensible juridical procedure, but ho-hum.
Yes, I probably did allow my annoyance that the self defensive clique who closely control MP were so caught up in their "you scratch my ego, I'll scratch yours" that they allow a total falsehood to appear on the MP get the better of me. But I do believe, and will continue to believe,that those who have assumed control of the most visible pages are the ones who should be held to the highest standards of accountability.
This mistake was made in the article by Joseph2302, based on a poor translation of a news report of several weeks earlier, which not only should never be considered statement of fact for the actual startlist of a sporting event, but never even said that she was listed to be a starting member of the squad, nor for which squad. But Joseph did not actually propose that claim for the main page, which is why I maintain that the bulk of the blame does lie with Schwede66, who unilaterally changed the hook that had been approved in a consensus building manner. And who has not, I believe, apologised for introducing factual error to the main portal of an encyclopaedia, which surely is the absolute antithesis of anything that an encyclopaedic project should do. As I said, and do not apologise for saying, either one checks assiduously what is to be on the Main Page, or one does not care about the accuracy of the Main Page: there is no in-between.
While I will abide by your topic ban, I do believe that editors should be able to pursue false accusations made against them, as Joseph did against me: he said at WT:Alisa Schmidt that I was blaming him, which I had not (I have subsequently discovered that he would actually deserve a sizeable proportion of the blame, as I set out above, but I had not levelled any accusation at that point). And I do not believe that an editor should be allowed to simply go quiet and refuse to justify an accusation that he/she has made. He did offer to engage with me on the matter at ANI, but you have prohibited that: maybe he could have been persuaded to re-read my words and admit that his accusation was false. The idea that he did not know what I was asking him to apologise for (as he said at ANI) is frankly untenable if he had actually read the interchange that he was part of.
And meanwhile, because you have topicbanned me, I cannot re-iterate the correction that I made here, and Joseph erroneously reverted here. Google translate renders the relevant part of the cited document thus: " The 400-meter runners Karolina Pahlitzsch from LG Nord Berlin and Alica Schmidt from SCC Berlin each qualified for the relay." You will note that it does not specify whether they were being considered for the women's or the mixed relay: Joseph seems determined that his unsourced assumption (that the women's 4x400 was intended) is encyclopaedic fact; perhaps you can insert a true version into the text, rather than allowing this unsourced lie to persist in the encyclopaedia.
I will not be tolerant of people trying to contribute to Wikipedia beyond their competence, and when they persist in erroneous and unencyclopaedic 'contributions', that can only be to the detriment of the project, I will not pussyfoot around telling them so: encouraging poor editors by kindness is not going to make Wikipedia better than it is, and taking fools lightly only make Wikipedia appear foolish.

Would you please have a look at the talkpage in question? A user who has never edited the page thought it would be a great idea to weigh in on the talkpage with insinuations I have an anti-LGBTQ agenda and that I edit in bad faith (as well as why Wikipedia should be ignoring WP:V). I responded civilly (but admittedly pretty angrily), and left an AGF template on their user talkpage, telling them that if they persisted in such accusations, I would report them and seek a block. Today they have doubled down at both the talkpage and their userpage. I'm pretty offended by this garbage accusation and doubt I could respond without violating civility myself, but I do think an admin needs to address them and their behavior. Happy Friday!

Please take a look at new User:LayinItOnTheLine and their edits on Gwar. They insist on adding unsourced information despite my making multiple attempts to tell them, via their talk page, that it needs a source. The most recent attempt to do so received a response of "you're more than welcome to edit it yourself if you REALLY wanna do it by the book" and "fuck the rules". Seems to be a preview of what we can expect regarding their contributions to the project as a whole. Thanks NJZombie (talk) 14:37, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to report these IP Sockpuppets that are unhelpful and suspicious. These IPs needs to blocked, or, you can investigate them, keep in mind and watching over them. 1.) For the past few months, the IP ranges of "124.106.226.215", "58.69.105.139" and "58.69.105.140" are active at The Broken Marriage Vow, Marry Me, Marry You, He's Into Her, Darna (2021 TV series) and other Philippine TV series articles.

I have seen most of the IP sock ranges of "120.29" (76 &78) in making disruptive vandalism edits. So far we have "120.29.78.194", "120.29.78.93" (who was globally blocked for 6 days and 23 hours until 19 August 2021), "120.29.76.223" (the most active), and most recently a new IP "120.29.76.194" (sock active since 18 August 2021). All those IP socks are usually very active at MOR Entertainment, Kapamilya Channel, It's Showtime (Philippine TV program), and all other articles and pages related to ABS-CBN. They are also active at trying to disruptively protecting the pages of The First and True Home of Asianovelas (protected until 20 August 2021), Asianovela Channel (protected until 21 August 2021), and probably GMA The Heart of Asia. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) I suspect that there's going to have more new sockpuppets connected to all the IPs that I mentioned above (as per WP:SHARE rule), and I hope someone would take actions against them. -136.158.42.180 (talk) 11:24, 19 August 2021 (UTC) |

Dear sir: I see that you have deleted extensive discographies of the shows for the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps (from Concord, California), the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps (from Santa Clara, California) the Phantom Regiment (from Rockford Illinois) and the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps (from Austin Texas). I have not had time to go and check the websites for the top 20 'world-class' groups or the next tier of 20 'open class' groups so there may be more.
These groups are one of the major sources of musical education in the United States (and even somewhat in Europe, the UK and Japan) today. The groups comprise musicians from the ages of 14-21 many of whom are music majors and hopeful music educators. Their instructors are music educators from all across the country, including many from major college campuses. The scores are all individually written, and carefully composed. The groups all obtain proper copyright permissions for their adaptations. Hundreds of thousands of followers attend their shows throughout the nation annually, and their alumni networks are a powerful force for good in terms of raising money for musical scholarships and promoting civic values. Many high school students learn about classical music and composition from these groups and from these groups alone.
I understand that you are a famous decades-old Wikipedian and I am a mere couple of page editor with only a plate of welcome cookies. However, I do know musical education. These discographies are a huge source of information for musical students from middle school through college. I am not sure you understand what it means to music students to have them deleted.
I hope you will reconsider deleting these rich histories. Please feel free to respond and explain why you think these are "unencyclopedic" -- if you felt they were unsourced or needing more citations, then the proper recommendation would be a banner asking for this to be corrected. I will gladly do that research and modifications if given the chance -- would much prefer that rather than having to undelete information caught happenstance and done quietly.

Hi, I'm not sure whether this needs attention, or what to do about it, but the article on Physical restraint is also infected by bare feet. The basic introductory paragraph, "Basic Methods" is 13 lines of text on my screen, 3 dealing with handcuffs, leg-cuffs, and martial-arts holds/locks, the remaining 10 being a discussion of how bare feet limit a prisoner's freedom, which is a bit of an odd balance. The text seems to come from Eduard Meister and IP 89.183.2.92. This is way outside my field so I don't feel qualified to edit, but personally I'd be inclined to get rid of the entire foot stuff. It feels like fetish stuff rather than legitimate information about restraint.

Hi Drmies. Could you be so kind and come up with a better name for Controversies section in Vivek Agnihotri? I couldn't think of one. Thanks :) -- DaxServer (talk) 14:18, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
There is a larger issue here. On the one hand, a separate section on "Controversies" focuses attention on it in perhaps an UNDUE way. But on the other hand, those sections are generally much lower down the page, much less visible, and sometimes (I've seen it happen) they are placed below big fat graphic sections like a discography or a table with awards--and those often signal "end of article", thus making the controversies less visible. Personally, I think that half of this is so directly relevant in the biography to one specific event, that that's the right place for it. Does that make sense? Thanks, Drmies (talk) 15:42, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Somebody just registered a brand new username, "Bearmutt", just to leave a snarky message criticizing me over on the Simple English Wikipedia instead of here. So I don't know whether it's a banned user, or an active editor who's just trying to keep their powder dry by logging out or creating alternate fake usernames so that they can't have their attacks linked back to their primary identity, but either way somebody's definitely playing games and actively fishing for any possible excuse to try to get me into trouble.

Hey Drmies.
I saw your comment elsewhere - Thanks - pizza sounds great : )
The editor requested clarification, and while responding, I went and looked over WP:BAN in detail.
I see that bans can be placed by admins. Do you consider the topic ban you placed to be considered a community ban (as a result consensus of the first discussion), or an admin placed one (by you directly)? And did you log it at WP:Editing restrictions (or maybe someplace else)?

I responded very carefully for several hours a while ago in great details, addressing your points. The 2 articles in question, your primary concerns, seems to be at the root of tensions between myself and the community. Even at these articles, I did not make a single revert, although there were a few mistakes I acknowledge and I apologize for. I understand things like this take time; however, I have edited hundreds of articles from topics varying from beer to pharmaceuticals to media to many other topics. So, Dr, I am imploring you to modify my block from the namespace to just those 2 articles. Or just take my word that I will not edit these 2 pages (I would obviously get caught).

This is not an improvement and your number is made up; this is an improvement. One of the things I refer to as racist is in this edit, precisely because it is not verified by the source that you provided, and your subsequent edits didn't make it any better which is why Writ Keeper reverted you here. The other objectionable comment is in this edit--the old cliche about Jews and banks, *lesigh*. I am not going to support a lifting of that Article restriction until it is clear that you understand that the synthesis you were guilty of in the Antwerp Jews article was indeed a violation, and that we will not, NEVER, hear anti-semitic canards again about Jews and banks, or Jews and newspapers, or whatever.
The lack of focus--well, again you're talking about Valereee, saying somehow she's biased yet "she needs support"--what? And some other editor getting blocked, that is of no relevance to me. So you were right one time--good, I'm glad for you. But another thing that rubs me the wrong way is using the passive construction to deflect: you say, about the racist innuendo, "this impression was given to you"--no, it wasn't "given" to me by some vague unidentified entity: it was your edits that performed it. But I'm really tired of this; half of what I said here I already said a few weeks ago. I don't want to do this again; we're in WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT territory. I believe I've done enough to explain what I think is problematic about your edits and your behavior; it's time you do your part.

If you don't like the flagicons, I don't care if you delete them, but you have to delete ALL of them. That means icons for the fighters and the locations for every fight he had on his official and unofficial records. |style="text-align:left;" Should not be shown to the reader. It is really easy to delete them if you just use search and replace for each flagicon type rather than deleting 6 or 7 flagicons for 200+ fights (both records) and making the record look sloppy.CaPslOcksBroKEn (talk) 02:07, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
The addition of a flag does not make something not "good stuff". If you understood how to use the advanced tools on Wikipedia, you would realize that it works perfectly fine and just because you are incapable of understanding how to use it does not mean there is a problem with it. I didn't do it initially, because of the multitude of boxing records that still have them such as Boxing career of Muhammad Ali, Boxing career of Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Joe Louis, and so many more that I did not see the issue. Painless this solution may be, but it is awful and restricts the history of the sport to those who know how to access these records. For example, you don't have a clue where I got the info from. It comes from boxrec.com, which I'd be shocked if you had an account for (necessary to gain all the information listed here). Instead of poking around and putting in any resemblance of effort to learn, people like you roam around Wikipedia and delete hours of work, information, and knowledge because you are offended by a simple flag. You complain so much about actually seeing the record of Tommy Gibbons, but where is this effort and energy in erasing his record completely? This "obvious" solution and version of the article that you accept so willingly ignored the fact that there was and is a boxing record on there (uncompleted) that was improperly sourced. It would be so easy to look something up and spend some time to contribute something rather than disrespecting those who take the time to do the busy work required for these famous and frequently visited articles to be.CaPslOcksBroKEn (talk) 17:48, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Even by what you are saying, Ali’s record should be diminished so that it only shows his fights versus significant opponents, which would minimize the context and restrict information.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Boxing. As of now, full fight records are allowed. If you want to try to change that and minimize what is shown at the very bottom of the article (collapsably for most fighters with newspaper decisions this is the place to go.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Boxing/MOSGuidelines. You should talk to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mac_Dreamstate and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Squared.Circle.Boxing about this.
There is no yelling on my part. I don't care about irrelevant things when you know which posts are mine. I know how to use what I need to use in order to make things the average person is going to see. I know how to efficiently edit boxing careers with hundreds of fights and what it takes in order to make it not look like an inconsistent mess. If you wanted me to take the flagicons off, there was a much better way to go about it that didn't include deleting the work I did because flagicons offended you so much. That is lazy and rude. If you don't like talking to me, it is easy: don't delete over a hundred fights or break the code/only edit a few fights and post it. I have left links to people who are also well versed in this subject, so that is where you can go if you want to see such important and proper indent's and signs of posts.

Hello, Drmies,
I just noticed your block of Djm-leighpark. Have you seen their talk page during their block? It's quite atypical behavior for a blocked editor to have such voluminous editing proposal. I'm not sure what to do about this since their block ends tomorrow but I thought I'd alert you.

That does not seem to be their comment they are editing, rather someone else's. Johnashu originally added the message saying, "now people assume that raa raa the noisy lion has a season 4", meaning they are saying other people are incorrect. The same user also edited the article, changing it from four seasons to three seasons. The IP range changed the user's talk page comment, seeming to try and make it sound like there is four seasons. The same IP range is the one who had been manually reverting my cleanup on the article last month, reinstating claims of a fourth season & reintroducing errors ([30] [31] [32]). From what I can tell, Johnashu and the range are not the same person and they are not editing their own comment. The IP range also later made an account continuing the disruptive reverts, which was ultimately blocked indefinitely.
This is not really a show I am familiar with, but when trying to cleanup the article, I had found barely any sources to help confirm anything. However, I did check Peacock and the show is indeed available on there... with just three seasons. After trying to look up/find sources to help add to the article, the only thing I could find supporting a fourth season was IMDb, which of course is not reliable.

Hi Drmies, I for one have a hard time following your talkpage via watchlist because most all of the edits now are done by Lowercase sigmabot (so that's what shows up on my watchlist), which cleans the page much more often than anyone else's -- often every single day. People would better know what was going on your talk if you changed the "minthreadstoarchive" to a higher number than "1", which is where it is at now. At a higher number the bot wouldn't archive every single day, but would wait until there were at least that number which needed archiving. Seems like your talkpage used to be a more talkative place; now I think things are archived before some people see it on their watch lists because the biggest participant on your talk is the bot. If you catch my drift. In any case, just thought I'd make that suggestion, which you can ignore. Softlavender (talk) 07:23, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Drmies, may I ask you for a third opinion? There is a request for help from Aziyade Gil on my talk page. Since I am the same opinion, I addressed the user concerned on his talk page. Unfortunately with no success. Catalans are actually no ethnic group and therefore they should be considered Spaniards. At Basques, UK (Welsh - Scottish), Kurds, etc., the corresponding, partly for nationalist reasons, will be revised immediately. I hope you can help there or correct my opinion. Many thanks in advance --Serols (talk) 14:39, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean with the Basque, Kurdish, etc. examples--are you saying that "Kurdish" gets reverted to "Turkish" for nationalist reasons? But Abdullah Öcalan is described as Kurdish (and see Talk:Abdullah_Öcalan/Archive_2#Nationality_and_ethnicity_confusing.). Of course doing this in Balkan territory is a huge can of worms, so let's stay out of that for now. Anyway, I think these matters should be handled carefully. I do not think nationality or citizenship should override ethnicity, and to that extent I disagree with MOS:ETHNICITY (which doesn't unequivocally mandates mention of nationality, but leans towards it), but it seems that most editors do follow that guideline.
Some of the complications and the nationalist/ethnic interests are evident in Danilo Kiš. In 2013 he was "Serbian" and "Yugoslav", whatever that means. I kept that, maybe against my better judgment, but since he was a writer I thought his language was more important. I agree with this edit, which indicates how complicated the matter is. Here he was Montenegrin for a while, here he becomes Serbian again, here I'm making my fetish point again (I'm a broken record, but I try to be consistent), and this is based on what I know about him. Here is the fetishization of language, and this will return a few times--what's the point. Here is the return of the nationalists. I agree with this change, back to Yugoslav, though I wonder what the edit summary means. And here, after "Serbian" was reintroduced, the language is removed. It's very tiresome, and in the last few years "Catalan" has also become contentious--but in that case, I'd not bother myself with it. That's not good advice in terms of our guidelines, maybe, but it is what I would do. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 16:30, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

All the best -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 18:55, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
You said "tragic"--I'm glad you're here so I can share tragedy too: Turgut Alp is leaving Kayi tribe and the service of Ertugrul. I can understand it (the death of Aykiz haunts him, of course, and then to lose Wild Demir, it's enough to make any person break), and it's true that Ertugrul, now in his 174th episode, is becoming a bit of a ... zealot? but still, it's sad--really, it's tragic. He won't even stay for Mother Hayme! Thanks for listening--I appreciate it. Drmies (talk) 02:43, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
<p>
but I can't help but twitch at it. More broadly, you may be interested in my additions to WP:*: a few months ago, regarding such things. Improvements welcome, as I'm not sure my advice for this exact scenario was the optimal answer.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 07:29, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. Hope, you are keeping well. I need some technical guidance from you. I have helped new editors many times by giving them Wikipedia tutorials in person. I also conduct offline workshops occasionally as there are lack of editors in our state. Recently, I observed a weird thing. This is because I have no knowledge about technical stuff. When one of my students try to create Wiki account, they receive 'Account creation error', See this image. The person has never edited Wikipedia, never created account. So how did this happen? Is there any solution? Thanks. --Gazal world (talk) 18:33, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi, @Drmies: How it's you going? I Requested to you Please give Pending Change User Right for 1 month. In Before Few Months I Requested for this Right on Wikipedia Request for Right but any Admin doesn't action on my Comment.Best Regards JiggyzizTalk✍️ 03:58, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Pretty sure this edit summary is a personal attack. The article is a hotbed is with infobox stuff so understand you may not want to get involved. Side question, who is Ertugrul? S0091 (talk) 00:59, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, I saw you blocked one of the IPs who kept adding an infobox to Stanley Kubrick. I went ahead and blocked 2800:484:738E:8A30:7DA3:E198:3D37:FC03/64 due to continued disruption. Just wanted to let you know. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Are the brand new accounts posting at Talk:One UI socks or related to the LTA obsessed with the article itself by any chance? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:54, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Err... Thanks for your help but I thought the in use template was a way to prevent other users to intervene on articles in order to avoid edit conflicts. I'm glad I discovered your welcome but untimely intervention before I started to translate. Fell free to correct my work when it's over though. LouisAlain (talk) 21:10, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
For some reason that I don't even remember, I stumbled onto this stub this morning and tripled its length. He was an academic of the English language and so it is in your wheelhouse. If you or any of the denizens of this talk page want to work on it, fine. I have a favor to ask. In "Further reading", I put a link to a 1926 review in American Speech. I can only read the first page.. Can you email me the complete text? Thanks. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:33, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Omas gegen Rechts - enjoy strong women, - nice match to "yours"! I thought of Yoninah on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:38, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Rich Main page today: first TFA by promising author, pictured DYK by my friend LouisAlain who is discouraged by an AN discussion, and one of the Recent deaths. Enjoy! - The promising author is also mentioned (at least indirectly) here (pending unblock request), in case you have time for "in dubio pro reo" even against odds. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:43, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for Clara Leiser! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
today: the day of bold red and black, for Dante who died 700 years ago, and Peter Fleischmann who died recently, leaving us films full of vision. Dante: just heard Inferno, imagined by a woman, the main character both speaking and singing with an inner 4-part voice! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:30, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for help in September, - a rich harvest! On Peace Day Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
Today: a woman in red (back to the beginning of the thread), two who died under "in memoriam" and LouisAlain missed - my first editnotice read: "Every editor is a human being" which is quoted from a comment by Geometry guy in a 2012 discussion on WP:AN. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Do you have any evidence that this was published before 2019? The photo seems to be too young for {{PD-US-unpublished}}. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi@Drmies: There is an editor at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Lee (singer) who is making personal attacks against. Can you have a look please. scope_creepTalk 15:30, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
