Hi 331dot |

== Unblock request == |
|||
I am [[dronebogus1]] I requested a "friend" create [[Playwrights' Studio Scotland]] because I was blocked. I should add, following a legal request in my favor the source article was amended but my block and socks are not deleted so I cannot edit myself. |
|||
Thank you for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Where_is_Matt%3F&diff=prev&oldid=1189934696 considering my request to unblock]. I would like the block lifted so that I could participate in any future discussion. I have already pledged not to participate in the discussion that led to my block. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Where_is_Matt%3F&diff=prev&oldid=1189908200 It has already been acknowledged that I did not violate any rules or guidelines]. [[User:Where is Matt?|Where is Matt?]] ([[User talk:Where is Matt?|talk]]) 23:18, 14 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
My friend [[Kissable54]] had the article declined 5 times, not being familiar with Wikipedia he requested help from a colleague [[Not Even a Mother]] using his talk page. Not Even a Mother completely rewrote the article and added proper citations. For reasons unknown (probably a dig at socking admins) she declared other accounts she opened before choosing one to edit with, which probably got her blocked. Being a girl was fun while it lasted ! [[Special:Contributions/81.147.111.139|81.147.111.139]] ([[User talk:81.147.111.139|talk]]) 14:27, 12 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:I think the "perhaps so" there refers to your final sentence in that request, not to you not violating guidelines. I am unwilling to unblock you to participate in a hypothetical future discussion; if there is a specific discussion you wish to comment on now, please say so. You may also make a new unblock request for someone else to review to see if someone else is willing to unblock. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 23:30, 14 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:Could you please consider undeleting the article and/or making any minor changes to publish. It will only take 5 minutes of your time. [[Special:Contributions/81.147.111.139|81.147.111.139]] ([[User talk:81.147.111.139|talk]]) 14:28, 12 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::Very disappointing. Since I promised not to engage in the discussion that led to my block, it feels like the block is punitive, and not in line with the stated reasons for blocking: ''protect Wikipedia from disruption.'' |
|||
::Since the request for unblock has now been rejected 3 times, I cannot fathom a 4th admin lifting the block. [[User:Where is Matt?|Where is Matt?]] ([[User talk:Where is Matt?|talk]]) 23:39, 14 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::I believe unblocking must benefit the project in some way. Since you can already edit literally every other of the millions of pages on Wikipedia, and you have not indicated a specific need to edit that particular page now, the block is preventing you from very little. Happy to reconsider when you want to discuss something there. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 23:46, 14 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::The benefit is that there won't be a cloud over my head. Keeping the block could induce a [[snowball effect]] of more blocks. |
|||
::::If you don't want to unblock, perhaps you can reduce the block from indefinite to time served, or some other reasonable finite time? [[User:Where is Matt?|Where is Matt?]] ([[User talk:Where is Matt?|talk]]) 23:53, 14 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::My advice is that you ask the blocking admin if your pledge is sufficient for them to remove the block themselves. If it is, they will either remove it, or just say so and permit someone else to. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 00:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::{{tpw}} Am I right in reading the block log that the block was imposed today? [[User:Deepfriedokra|-- Deepfriedokra]] ([[User talk:Deepfriedokra|talk]]) 00:14, 15 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::Happy to lift the block if WiM will just say they'll stop calling people following policy "revert ninjas who weaponize ONUS", and indicate they understand the issue. This wasn't a block I wanted to make, and I spent ''considerable'' time trying to discuss with WiM to avoid it.

Hello, I followed the format of another business which I sold my company to years ago, Veriato ([[Veriato]]), however, my page was rejected and looks very similar from my vantage point. Can you please share with me what Veriato did to have their article accepted so I can do the same? |

:{{u|Mgjanulaitis}} We don't need the whole url to link to another Wikipedia article or page, I've fixed this for you. |
|||
:Please see [[WP:OSE|other stuff exists]]. These other articles you have seen could also be problematic, and you would be unaware of this. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can, when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us, this is not a reason to add more inappropriate articles. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those [[WP:GOODARTICLE|classified as good articles]], which have been checked by the community. If you would like to help us, you are welcome to identify other inappropriate articles you see so action can be taken. We need the help. |
|||
:Much of the Veriato article is indeed inappropriate, and I have marked it as such; the patent infringement lawsuit may be enough to make the company meet [[WP:ORG|the definition of a notable company]]. In terms of your draft, in addition to the comment I left there, awards don't contribute to notability unless the award itself merits an article(like [[Academy Award]] or [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. You need significant coverage in independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that choose on their own to discuss your company and what they see as important/significant/influential about it, how it meets [[WP:ORG]]. A summary of the activities of the company or its offerings is not significant coverage. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 13:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC) |

Thanks for blocking Writerwiki2020.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2023).
Well, the map has been there for quite a while. It was just taken down by a North Macedonian nationalist. So what the change is is the removal of the map, not its placement there. I don't intend to revert it again, but I have made my points on the Talk page, and it appears that I am the only to have done that. If someone has something to add—perhaps you—why don't you do it? I do agree that some of the areas mark historical or scattered distribution. VMORO
Hello I am contacting you as on 28 april 2023, you've told that I could be unblock if you could see at least one draft accepted into the encyclopedia by an Articles for Creation created by myself. I've already got approved one draft - Oleksandr Zub . Iliochori2 (talk) 12:35, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi I saw you on Teahouse and you look like you know what you're doing. I'm trying to merge a couple articles into a single article. My explanation is here: Wikipedia:Teahouse#General help merging and creating. Can you help me out a bit? NomzEditingWikis (talk) 00:17, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I hope everything is good with you. I submitted a draft named Giga Group of Companies that you recently reviewed. It actually a firm of one of my close friends and he wanted to publish its Wikipedia page because the company is one of the largest Real Estate Group in Asia as well as Middle East. It is a pioneer developer firm that started construction on Jumeirah Lake Dubai bake in the early 2000s. It has massively contributed in national economies of many countries worldwide. Currently, it has been working for UN mandate in Pakistan. I have added multiple references related to this company but i don't know why the submission was declined. Kindly if you can guide me on how can it be approved. And yes i haven't been paid for any of this I am professional writer and what i am doing is my hobby. Please if you can consider my request and guide me i will be working for wikipedia as an editor in future.
Thank you. Nightowl4u (talk) 08:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
As other Top of the Pops presenters have their own articles, can Steve Anderson have one? Or is there not enough information in the draft at the moment? Thanks Chenbas31 (talk) 14:55, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm evaluating an unblock request by this editor, who was (quite correctly) blocked for advertising and UPE. The editor has now agreed to follow the COI rules and properly disclose their paid status.

Hello @331dot! If you are available, could you respond to @Nathanquib on their talk page. I don’t understand what they are asking, but they requested your response through VTRS.

Thoughts on these two edits by an account with no other edits on an article recently scrutinized for COI contributions? I normally am not involved in COI scenarios, but this seems a bit suspicious. Matt Deres (talk) 01:58, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn’t aware I couldn’t edit my own Wiki, if you would I would like to add that back in my 20s I was a webcam model. So many people have talked about to thinking I’m trying to hide it, when I’m highly open about it. I would also like to mention I’m running grassroots. If you’d like to speak to me privately, I would be more than happy to give you a call. :) 2603:6081:5F41:697B:A5FE:253C:8DB1:5F5F (talk) 08:54, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just an FYI, as I saw that you reverted the IP's most recent removal of the "musician" claim: They also left a comment on the Talk page that Ponyo (talk · contribs) had redacted for BLP concerns, but which they've now reinstated in a subsequent comment. It's not an urgent matter, but thought you should be aware in case you may be able to address it more readily. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 13:38, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir The Wikipedia user Capitals00 is continuously editing wrong information on pages especially releted to 'Hindu Monarchs' and releted to them by adding hate words and unsourced statements as he now doing on the page of Mughal - Maratha wars where he didn't provided any single source and blanked most of the page including Result of it.when i undid his revision by asking him sources then instead of providing sources he undid my revision and stored his edit without providing any single resource!This is somehow close to Dictatership as his edits are more than 5000 so now he misusing his powers by deleting others history perticularaly 'Hindu Community' for his relegious agenda. So kindly look at this and take immediate action on him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aryan330 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't edited further so Edit warring is suitable for him because i just stored what previous edit was & he undid that so i didn't edited further.so edits done by me is only one but edits edited by him counts 2 so he is edit warring without giving sources & i was joined Wikipedia because i thought this is the only place where Dictatership or power doesn't matter,what matter is full proof sources & he is continuously editing hateful and wrong statements against icons of perticular relegion 'Hindu' and i am surprised that i told you to take action against him by undid revision of his edit on 'Mughal-Maratha wars' and give him last warning as i have checked on his talk page that many senior Wikipedia users warned him for blanking pages(like he did in Mughal-Maratha War page)and making many wrong and unsourced edits releted to Hindu religion.

Hello @331dot:. This is in reference to new user Grew Baddymore and their edit war on the Skullgirls page. I'm reaching out to you since you recently posted on their talk page. The person did take things to the article's talk page, where I tried to detail my disagreements with their edits to the best of my ability, rooting my reasonings in guidelines and such. Their follow-up didn't make much sense, and I personally don't believe this person is acting in good faith anymore. But, who knows, maybe I'm in the wrong here. Would you be willing to lend your perspective on the matter? Thanks for your time. Wani (talk) 03:54, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, do you have any objection to my revoking TPA per WP:DENY? The user's post-block comments are increasingly outrageous. It is clear they are enjoying the attention, not to mention controlling the conversation in a passive-aggressive, WP:WIKILAWYER-type manner. I would have revoked TPA a while ago and not asked "permission", but am reluctant to do so because of your and Newyorkbrad's apparent willingness to continue this tortured dialogue. Fluid dynamics?

Hello, I saw that you deleted the draft article I had started on. I am trying to slowly get started with creating Wikipedia content and realize that my skills are extremely low. Nevertheless, I have the ambition to improve my skills as I go along. In this particular case, since I have read the author's books and know that she is well-reputed, I thought I would create a Wiki article. Obviously I have failed, and I just wanted to check with you whether this means I can still restart my work on this topic, but in a more methodic and professional way, or is the topic banned forever from Wikipedia? Bear with me please, as I am trying to understand this rather forbidding and daunting world of Wikipedia. Osreismagos23 (talk) 08:12, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Both Artificial Nagger (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Unwokengarvey (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are most likely trolls/NOTHERE (and SOAP in the case of Unwokengarvey) as their edit history shows.

Hey @331dot the users @Zocdoclesson & user @Wareno both are continuously changing the content of page Maratha–Portuguese War (1683–1684). Although @Zocdoclesson atleast discussed on talk page of that article & accepted it. but @Wareno didn't discussed about this battle.he didn't talked with references. The earlier edit was as "status quo ante bellum" & this user connecting it with the victory of one side.
This user also warned me on my talk page by accusing me for being involved in edit war https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1169992909. but I just did only 1 edit on that page in this month.he is just targeting me.hope you would give your personal attention here.

Hello 331dot,
I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We wanted to invite you to join the study because you are very active not only in the User talk namespace but also in a few WP discussion sections such as AfC and Helpdesk. The latter category in particular often plays host to long discussions/debates with a lot of back-and-forth between editors, which is exactly the type of environment that our study targets.
The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.
If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.
If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP. Thank you for your consideration.

She was an astronaut, someone highly trained and (supposedly) vetted mentally, who shouldn't be doing this sort of thing.
Alas, your supposition is incorrect. Psychological vetting was completely inadequate. See Santy, Patricia A. (1994).

Dear 331dot thank you very much for your prompt review of the Draft:Ruth Hessey page yesterday where you noted. "You have done well documenting her activities, but what we are looking for is a summary of what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about her, showing how she meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person." I agree that the account doesn't meet the pure Wikipedia definition of notable person. However, I would argue that the subject Ruth Hessey was notable for the amount and extent of her work documenting other people's films, filmmakers, environmental matters while working as a professional journalist, broadcaster and documentary filmmaker for many years for reliable sources such as the Melbourne Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Broadcasting Company Radio National and (less notable) EastSide FM radio. The nature of her work meant she spent years as a reliable source fact-checking and reporting on other subjects rather than others reporting on her. I have sourced and referenced many instances of this on the draft page and ask if you could review the draft page a second time with this in mind. Kind regards, HapKee HapKee (talk) 22:45, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your decision at User talk:Gill110951, which I sadly cannot disagree with owing to the comments made in the ensuing discussion. However, the IP is the banned sockpuppet that has been consistently and egregiously targeting Gill. The address 148.252.159.66 was included in the SPI, and their comments on the talk page admit meatpuppetry (although this passes Looks like a duck to me for being the actual user). They are now edit warring as 148.252.159.203. They are not allowed to edit here. I note the 148.252.159.0/24 has some edits on that range that may not be the sock, but grateful if you would take some appropriate action. Perhaps a very short IP range block? Thanks.

A thread at Talk:Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory#I._Antisemitism_insinuations,_II._Contemporary_use could use benevolent oversight from uninvolved admins.

Dear user:331dot, You've recently reverted my edit to the article "Hamas" (See edit here)
Contrary to your comment, my edit did not conflict with the instruction "Do not change this to "terrorist" without gaining consensus on the talkpage first", since I did not change the text it referred to. Where I to change: "Hamas... is a political and military organization" to "Hamas... is a terrorist organization", then it would require a discussion and a consensus. However, I did not touch that text. Instead, I've just added the text: "...designated as a terrorist group by many countries (including the US, UK, EU, etc.)[1][2][3]...". This text was taken from the information box that clearly stated "Designated as a terrorist group by" and then mentioned US, UK, EU, etc.
I personally also hold the belief that it's not just designated by these countries, but should also be used by that term within Wikipedia articles, just as is used in the article about ISIS. But given that I'm aware that this might require a long discussion, I went with simply stating the relevant facts that are already present in the article.
Could you please un-revert your revert to my edit?
Thanks upfront, Tal Galili (talk) 13:22, 19 November 2023 (UTC) Tal Galili (talk) 13:22, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I've just reverted a vandalism edit (diff) and warned the IP, but do you think WP:REVDEL is needed here under RD2 or RD3? Thanks in advance. Liu1126 (talk) 10:07, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi 331dot. Hope you're well. Could you please restore the article? The discussion happened in 2013 (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raquel Evita Saraswati (2nd nomination)), not 2023, and there is a lot of new coverage about her since 2013 AfD. We may discuss it at another AfD, rather a speedy deletion. Skeus (talk) 16:03, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was a bit taken aback by your statement Being the owner of a company is a grey area in terms of the paid editing disclosure, because as the owner there is no one above you paying you, but an owner certainly has a financial interest in their company.
Has this "grey area" you describe been discussed anywhere? I have owned a small business for 30 years and I have consistently taken either a salary or profits or both out of my business, to pay mortgages, buy groceries and electricity and medicines and computers and office supplies and gasoline, and to travel and buy books, and to buy sneakers and blue jeans for my sons, and rainbow unicorn gifts for my six year old granddaughter, and so much more. I would certainly consider myself a paid editor if I edited directly regarding my business, and there would be no doubt in my mind. I would not ever try to argue that as a business owner I am not paid, and I am certain that the Internal Revenue Service would not accept that argument from anyone else either. Thank goodness that I am a small fish. Can you please clarify this "grey area" you perceive? Because I believe that business owners promoting their own businesses in any way on Wikipedia are quintessential paid editors who are obligated to make the disclosure. Your thoughts are welcomed.

In this this thread on ANI, two accounts are confirming themselves as socks and a third is accusing editors of being ethnic haters
and Serbian
(lol). Would you mind intervening at least on those three accounts, as I've been trying to get admin help on this for two weeks now. Additionally, requesting a range block from the page Raphael of Brooklyn from IP range 2003:c0:6f00::/43 due to persistent block evasion by Akhshartag. Any admin TPSs are encouraged to also respond.

Am I understanding this correctly that unblock requests shouldn't usually be declined by the blocking admin? There are cases where I felt that the reason for the request is clearly justified, but I don't recall seeing the blocking admin decling a request and have not read anywhere that it would be okay. Would like to know if that is the norm here. :) 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 17:28, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @331dot, I wanted to chat about the removal of 2022 American Community Survey Data from the Vista, CA page. The 2022 ACS is the most recent available demographic data for cities from the US government. The data was presented factually without any viewpoints or opinions. I would kindly contest that factual information requires a consensus to be posted on the page. 76.232.123.103 (talk) 20:42, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331dot,
I couldn't help but notice this conversation about MidWesterngal, regarding the article created for Matt Weinhold. I too was labeled as a paid editor when I'm not and I haven't been given the benefit of WP:AGF. The page was nominated for deletion which it passed. Would you mind removing the tag from Alfonso Cobo's page? But whether it needs additional copyediting or not is up to you to decide.

Would you mind reviewing and handling this small thread? The complainant is frustrated because they've unsuccessfully tried several times to get an administrator to respond. Either way, thanks for your time. CityofSilver 20:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for considering my request to unblock. I would like the block lifted so that I could participate in any future discussion.

Thanks for blocking Writerwiki2020. As you may have noticed, this Draft:COLIFE was previously (re)created by Clapperboard2.0, whom Deepfriedokra suspected of socking but didn't block at the time.
