== Sock list ==


Classicwiki, I believe there are many more socks, most already blocked, as can be seen by looking at my 'disclaimer' and reading the history of the articles there, e.g. at [[Gimli (Middle-earth)|Gimli]] we have [[user:Happydays924]], [[user:Butthaha12345]], [[user:Bootyfart121]] (and some IPs too). Each of the other characters has more: it would be good to know if these are all the same people, and whether those addresses can then be permanently blocked from account creation (it might be IP ranges). I don't know a lot about how SPI works but I suspect it's a very narrow check so it may be best to give them all we can. [[User:Chiswick Chap|Chiswick Chap]] ([[User talk:Chiswick Chap|talk]]) 18:05, 15 April 2024 (UTC)


:Hi @[[User:Chiswick Chap|Chiswick Chap]]. You should note that your disclaimer might be removed by another editor as it may not meet Wikipedia standards (I'm unclear on this). [[user:Happydays924]] has been added to the current SPI -- but they are already blocked. [[user:Butthaha12345]] and [[user:Bootyfart121]] have been already addressed, you can see the archive [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Thereandbackagain1/Archive|here]]. IP addresses are a little tricky because they mostly can not be blocked forever. However they can be added to an SPI. Feel free to report or let me know if you see any more!

:::@[[User:Chiswick Chap|Chiswick Chap]], understood. I've went through a lot of the character articles when I made my report and many others have been reported. I wish we could just have protection for all LOTR-related articles for a time, but unlikely to get support for that. I suspect this is going to be a long-standing issue.

::::@[[User:Chiswick Chap|Chiswick Chap]] - I saw that you added names to the active SPI that have already been listed in prior reports. I'd recommend only adding socks that are new.

==False Accusation of Sockpuppetry==

The IP server that was blocked at the same time as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jahor12345 is not connected. Both were editing simultaneously on different articles during the morning of 3rd April 2024. The IP server began with detailed edits about the Egyptian pound, and then around noon, switched over to British currency in the Middle East. Meanwhile, editor Jahor12345 was editing across a wide range of currency topics, mainly reformatting. The editing styles are completely different. The IP server carried out edits at 1204hrs and 1206hrs, while Jahor12345 carried out an edit in the middle of that two minute period at 1205hrs. They couldn't possibly be the same person.

== Complement for being a good egg ==


I noticed you and DMacks checking the boxes and following up after a minor vandalism and it made me step back to be impressed by the workings of Wikipedia. About the thinking, weird, wonderful people that are behind stuff getting done here. People come in knocking stuff off the shelves, but just as quickly other people are putting it all back and measuring the trajectory of where rocks were being lobbed from. You're part of what makes Wikipedia work, Thanks.

Hi. I am a family member. Walter Terence stace is my great uncle and Jennifer is my great aunt (my father's first cousin).

== BLP violations on Martin Nowak's page ==


Hi,


I saw you undid my edit on Martin Nowak’s page.

My edit was to delete factually inaccurate and biased sentences about Nowak’s association with Jeffrey Epstein from the lead.

Factually inaccurate: "...as a punishment for having provided an office, keycard, and passcode, and for allowing Epstein free and unlimited access to the university's campus ten years after his conviction for sex crimes".

The Harvard report only mentions a keycard. Nowak was not blamed for "providing an office" as this was known and approved by the university. No passcode is ever discussed. PED was not on university campus. Thus Epstein never had "free and unlimited access to the university campus".

There are other inaccuracies, but this is the main one.

Biased: The sentences do not address any source that is favorable to Nowak, presenting a biased POV. In particular, https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/4/14/lessig-epstein-at-harvard/ , this source and information contained therein is completely ignored.

In the lead: The association between Nowak and Epstein should be discussed in the body of the article under “controversies”. Not sure why it should be notable enough to be included in the very first sentences of the article, since Nowak is famous for his contributions to science, as evidenced by the fact that he had a Wiki page long long before the Epstein scandal.


I find it troubling that the page is now locked in a state containing inaccurate information and displaying a heavily biased point of view, which clearly violates Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policies.

== On "Garden of Delete" ==


I saw that you have reverted my decision to remove the 'nu metal' genre from the page. This is understandable, but for someone without knowledge of the genre of nu-metal, or the style of music Oneohtrix Point Never makes, having this genre present in the page is highly misleading. Both sources show the genre being named to be a subtle influence to the record, rather than a dominant sound, which even then, showing a lack of non-MIDI electronic guitar sounds, or metal drumming styles, or any metal style vocals, is highly contestable.


rateyourmusic.com is often reliable for genre descriptions, as they are voted on by the music community, and any 'metal' descriptors remain to be seen. 'Industrial' would be a more suitable descriptor for this album. [[Special:Contributions/82.14.105.143|82.14.105.143]] ([[User talk:82.14.105.143|talk]]) 21:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


:Hello, I will overlook the assumptions you are making about me. Removing legitimately sourced content is generally grounds for a reversion; both sources mention nu-metal. Unfortunately Wikipedia generally [[Wikipedia:RYM|categorizes rateyourmusic.com as unreliable]]. I would recommend looking over [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]] and [[Wikipedia:Content removal]] should you have any questions.

Latest revision as of 20:08, 6 July 2024

I tend to archive conversations that seem to have concluded, hope you don't mind.


A tag has been placed on Category:May 2024 events in China indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nominationbyvisiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 06:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, please note this category was created when 2024 Meizhou expressway collapse was still an article. It is now a draft, Draft:2024 Meizhou expressway collapse. Given there has been an active category tag for events in China for the past several months, I do no think it is too wp:crystalball to say that the category should be left active, but given that its empty at this moment I understand it will likely be deleted.

Categories[edit]

Hi Classicwiki. You left a note to improve categories on a page I created, but I really don't understand categories. Why would we manually add a category "Erodium" to a page with Erodium in the title? Surely it's better to allow the computer to sort things like this, rather than relying on faulty human categorising. Can you point me in the direction of some rationale/policy, pls? Or is it just up to us to add whatever we feel might be useful? E Wusk (talk) 17:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @E Wusk, great job on creating Erodium lebelii.
You are right that humans (and computers) can be faulty at catagorising things -- sometimes we apply the wrong category, too many, too few. Some elements on a page trigger automatic categorisation. Wikipedia relies on editors, bots, templates, and scripts (which I used in this case) to help improve categorisation on articles.
WikiProject Plants has its own guidelines on catagories, which is introduced here. (I recommend joining the WikiProject if you have not already!) More general details about catagories can be found on the editing guidelines, Wikipedia:Categorization.
Just because the article title has Erodium in the title, it does not mean that the information is automatically categorised. My edit allows this article to be categorised with other Erodium species. You can look at the category here and you will find other species in the genus.
Hope that helps and answers your question. Best, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 21:02, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MintyFresh201 and Yoyocarsonyo[edit]

Hello Classicwiki, I see in my alerts that there is a Sockpuppet investigation, against me and Yoyocarsonyo. I just wanted to clarify that the only interaction I have ever had was for creating the article FV Dudenhofen and using some aspects of the draft that he had used. I would be happy to provide any other necessary information for this investigation.

Kind Regards,

MintyFresh201 (talk) 22:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC) REVELATIONS 21:4[reply]

@MintyFresh201, thank you for providing that information. I would advise you to comment on the investigation page under the appropriate section. For guidance, Please see: defending yourself against claims.
As it notes there, If you are accused of puppetry, stay calm and don't take the accusations too personally. If you have not abused multiple accounts or IPs and have not breached the policy on meat-puppetry, then that will almost always be the finding.
Finally, I would kindly ask for you to please start seriously addressing the issues that other editors are raising about the articles that you are creating. Please stop removing maintenance templates and move warring. There is a need for reliable, independent sources in your articles or they might be subject to deletion. Please see the guide for citing sources. You are also welcome to the articles for creation help desk and The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have and help you with your edits. Sincerely, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 00:04, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Classicwiki,
I just wanted to claify something I saw on the investigation page. I created @Loganmascarenhas and @Loganmascarenhas20, the latter being by accident. However, the reason I created my current account was because I forgot the password for my @Loganmascarenhas account and also this username discloses personal information. I hope this helps with the investigation.
God bless you, MintyFresh201 (talk) 00:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in addition, I will take your advice and seriously consider the feedback and issues that others are having with my articles including maintenance tempaltes.
I appretiate your help. MintyFresh201 (talk) 00:57, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MintyFresh201, again you are advised to make these comments and responses on the SPI page.
I also suggest you review WP:MULTIACCOUNT and disclose your other accounts on your User page.
Are there any other accounts you wish to disclose? If so, please do on the SPI page. Thanks, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 01:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mew reversion[edit]

Your edit summary on the reversion of my edit just says "Last good". What are you trying to say here? TheWikiToby (talk) 04:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheWikiToby, I was just about to post to your talk page. Could you explain who the subject of that photo was? Where it was sourced? I see "own work" on Commons. I am concerned about the consent issues surrounding a child's image appearing on Wikipedia. The accompanying EXIF data makes me concerned for privacy rights as well. I am looking at wp:IUCwp:IUP>>Privacy Rights>>Normally do require consent. Considering its a popular trend, I also worry about someone uploading their own photo just for the meme-factor.
"Last good" is a shorthand many use in anti-vandalism to try to return a page to its previous stable version. Just a two days before your addition, another user (now blocked) uploaded a child's image to that page as well (diff). The article has been frequently vandalised.
If I can get some clarity on the image usage, I am not opposed to restoring. If you have any policies you can point me toward that clear the usage of the image that would be much appreciated. Thanks, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:43, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay. The child is someone I know IRL. They know of my endeavors on Wikipedia and they thought it'd be fun if they contributed somehow, so I thought of an image about mewing portraying how kids mew these days. Thinking about it now, adding the images were probably a little reckless as there was a little bit of some numerous intent there. TheWikiToby (talk) 04:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheWikiToby, did the child's legal guardian give you permission to upload their image to Commons or English Wiki? --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:53, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Classicwiki I did not get the legal guardian's permission. I'll try to contact them, but I'll get the images deleted if I must. TheWikiToby (talk) 04:55, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheWikiToby, I would suggest deleting such images until legal permission is acquired through a model release. Again if there is an image use policy that allows for such images to be used, please do point me in that direction. I think I might seek a bit of clarity about this issue over a WP:VP or some other related outlet soon. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 05:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent mpox outbreak protection requests[edit]

Hey there, I noticed you listed a bunch of protection requests on WP:RFPP for mpox outbreak articles when the vandalism was pretty much perpetrated by just one single IP vandal. In the future, if it's just one person vandalizing, you should list them at WP:AIV to get them blocked instead. Semi-protection is for when a bunch of different users are vandalizing/disrupting the same article. Some of your other requests also didn't have really any recent activity according to their histories; remember that protection is not preemptive. It would be helpful to check the page history for articles before you list them for protection. bibliomaniac15 03:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bibliomaniac15, this user has done this several times in the past. Just as recently as yesterday with a different IP address. If these articles are not protected the vandal will return. If you check the protection logs and the diffs on these Mpox pages you will see the revdels in the past. There is a consistent pattern. If you want to reject all the RFPPs that is your prerogative. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 03:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If they come back again switching IPs, feel free to let me know or resubmit the request (might even be better to list all the pages under a single section header too). But seeing that the last time this happened was a month ago, I don't think it's frequent enough to warrant protection at the moment. Generally with these kinds of administrative actions we usually use the method that will impact others users as little as possible. bibliomaniac15 03:53, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bibliomaniac15, the last time this happened was yesterday, 20 May (see: 76.98.200.125). Personally, I think not exposing users to consistent vandalising/racism on Mpox articles is the minimal impact option, but let us leave it to the fates and your administrative discretion. Thanks for blocking the vandal. Hope for the best. Cheers, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:01, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this version of Wikipedia is not the place for non-notable fictional countries/governments/political parties. However, there are other websites like Fandom that are open to such topics. I would suggest moving your content there.
I really recommend you familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines if you wish to continue editing here. On that topic, I recommend responding to the sock puppet investigation on your account.
Again, I would kindly ask that you re-evaluate and improve your editing. Wishing the best for you/your friend. Sincerely, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 14:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi Classicwiki. Your work patrolling for potential undisclosed paid editing is appreciated, but please remember to be exceptionally careful about posting personal information while doing so. – Joe (talk) 15:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe, absolutely. Is this in response to a NY-based charity/foundation? -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 16:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. It's an understandable mistake, but the combination of job title plus company narrowed things down too far. I know you didn't do it on purpose but I'd be remiss if I didn't say something. – Joe (talk) 20:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe, thanks for noting. I believe I gave three users a COI warning about that page because of their possible connection. Another time, an admin said I was not posting enough info on the talk page to show COI to justify the tag. So, I was trying to be accurate, but I understand how this instance might have been unintentionally too specific. I see that you have already redacted that information, thank you for that. -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 20:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know the context of that advice but I'd definitely always err on the side of not being specific. You can always email the information to the functionaries if in doubt. – Joe (talk) 20:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
