TCG Close query[edit]

Hello,

I was reviewing the close of this ANI close and wanted to query/raise concerns at a couple of points.

  1. The limited TBAN-scope: afaict, the vast majority of users participating were a full support for the original (full) TBAN proposal rather than with the modifier unless explicitly invited to comment on the subject by editors on a given talk page. What in the discussion led to that being exempted out?
  2. Editors encountering suspected socks of TheCurrencyGuy are required to log their suspicions at the aforementioned SPI page for documentation in addition to reporting them at WP:ANI for breach of this account restriction. - this feels like a potentially onerous obligation on all wikipedia editors (one that only a few will be aware of), and as such would be extremely rare to have in a close. Here, while TCG appears to have been Joe-jobbed at one point, I'm aware of some reasoning for this point but again there's no community consensus for it in the thread. In more practical terms, lots of sock blocks are made without launching both an SPI investigation and an ANI thread for breaching a community restriction underpinning it and so this would be a potential disruption there.
  3. While timing and requirement to link to this ANI thread in any future appeals by TCG made sense, I was again wondering about the obligation to ping everyone - is there a TCG issue that underpinned this? Had a feeling that I might have been missing something from a prior discussion.

The upshot of which is a request to explain what consensus in the discussion led to these aspects being part of your close, or to amend the close as appropriate. Cheers, Nosebagbear (talk) 15:39, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nosebagbear: I’m on the clock, they dislike us being on our electronic stuff at work, so I’ll have to get back to you tomorrow morning. Is that ok?

TCG's topic ban[edit]

Hello, I am contacting you since you closed TheCurrencyGuy's topic ban discussion.

I would (eventually) like to start a multi-question RfC on TCG's mass, currency-related changes (e.g. changing the nomenclature of the Czech currency from "koruna" to "crown"), to see whether the Community (retroactively) consents to their changes.

However, with a tban in place, I am reluctant to hold such an RfC unless TCG is allowed to participate and defend their past actions (even if their participation is limited). Therefore, would you be happy with the following?

  1. I start the RfC with the requisite questions.
  2. Propose that TCG be allowed to participate.
  3. Wait for a consensus before proceeding with the rest of the RfC.

Thanks in advance, NotReallySoroka (talk) 18:04, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello TomStar81,

    The case request about WikiMedia Foundation involvement in software deployment on the English Wikipedia has been declined by a majority of Wikipedia's arbitrators.

    The request had been explicitly created as an "Ignore All Rules" request, but the Arbitration Committee disagrees about a need for ignoring its policies, which exclude "official actions of the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff" from its jurisdiction and define it as "as a final binding decision-maker primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve" in the "Scope and responsibilities" section. Its procedures describe an "expectation of prior dispute resolution" that hasn't been fulfilled yet.

    For the Arbitration Committee,

    FAR for USS Wisconsin[edit]

    I have nominated USS Wisconsin (BB-64) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm Talk 21:40, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Same as the Missouri one from last year - just needs some tidying up to polish stuff up and introduce some non-DANFS viewpoints (and maybe some more detail on the design, as was requested at the Missouri one. I'll try to help a little bit, but my familiarity is mainly with the Civil War-era paddle steamer gunboats. Hog Farm Talk 21:40, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Undo Request for Deletion[edit]

    Hello, I want to say that I'm here for the undeletion for the recently deleted Draft page named Dananeer Mobeen. I request you to move this Deleted page to the Draft space so i can improve this article to meet the Wikipedia Notable Article. Please as soon as possible. Thank you Jidon34 (talk) 19:32, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    (by talk reader) @Jidon34: But you might be a sockpuppet and you're asking about a non-notable subject already deleted! Surely you are aware that the page has been SALT'ed because of this ongoing abuse. I suppose you are, in fact, a sock. Why else would you place this request? Chris Troutman (talk) 19:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chris troutman First of all I'm not a Sockpuppet user, this is an misunderstanding and i Just want to write the Biography on that living person which page has been deleted. Jidon34 (talk) 19:43, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But what are the odds that you, new editor suspected of being a SOCK, have come asking for a REFUND of an article created by a blocked user, which itself has been SALTed so it cannot be republished? There are so many other topics to work on. You can see how this stretches believability. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chris troutman Thank you for your humble advice. I think I'm tagged in Investigation Page, in which I'm not accused or involved. I have only one account. Contributing to Wikipedia and writing about articles is my favorite hobby and i Spend much of my time in Wikipedia to improve the correction. I think i will be blocked due to Some misunderstanding and this is very disappointing for me so that my contributions and my edits will not be appreciated. But Thank you. I hope you will Defend me on the Investigation Page because I'm not a Sock. Thank you Very Much Jidon34 (talk) 19:54, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chris troutman I made one one edit on three articles, which was also edited by a Blocked Sock. A Wikipedia Administrator Tagged me on that Investigation PAGE for Just i edit that Page. I don't know what was wrong in my Edits but they Tagged me as a Sock for just making edits on pages which also was edited by a Sock a 3 to 4 months earlier.
