Anyone up for chess?

==Destroyer 27==

Dear Sasquatch,

Since I am a new user I know very little about how Misplaced Pages works. I also don't know if it was proper to respond on the noticeboard page. Since I was named and thereby had received a notification, I thought I must present my side. If I mustn't, in such cases, I henceforth won't.

Best,

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
:I am embarrassed to say that I have no idea what I was talking about. At the time, I thought I was looking at "My Watchlist" and on today's date.

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 ] to "have strong passwords and ]." We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, ] 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.
I noticed an edit by vandal ], and reviewing the contributions, I'm convinced that it's a vandal-only account and should be indefinitely blocked, rather than 31 hours. As you're the blocking admin, would you mind if I changed the duration? ]<sup>(].].])</sup> 02:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I regard your action as an abuse, a breach of ] and even vandalism. Other users have the right to describe themselves killing me and i don't have the right to put an image on my user space? As for the motivation you put.. sorry, put since when people in charge here take actions based on some users paranoia? ] 19:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
: Sorry, the image never said someone's going to kill me. As for the second thing: . I want to see a real proof that image was directed at some specific users. And if there's no proof, what was so offensive about it?] 20:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
: May I make a point here? If you read the context in which the above was written, you'll clearly see it was part of a story that bore no relation to reality, was pure fantasy, and expressed no ''actual'' desire to murder anyone. Of course, such writing has no relation to the business of Misplaced Pages and I'd be more than glad to cease writing further installments of this adventure if you ask me to, take my literary creations elsewhere and issue any apologies that may be required. But please don't let Anonimu obscure the difference between a fictional attack in an outrageous story and the many actual attacks he has made on me. ] 21:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
::I saw the ANI message, and gave a further explanation. Yes, I got carried away, and I will cease writing the story at once, no questions asked. However, the point is that the business was entirely fictional, and does not actually contain death threats, just a quotation from Vergil inserted into a fantasy story. ] 22:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

: Just a correction: i only called one guy ]fascist or something like that. Holodean(pl. -eni) is a local name for '']''. And even if i may have meant what some user imply: i would have had all the right to do it. That guy spoke of the "heroism of ] - a man voted 6th greatest Romanian ever, and who would have come in 1st had not a massive propaganda and fraud campaign kept that honour from him" who "tried to protect Jews, and saved hundreds of thousands of them". A gay who thinks that killing of 200 jews for every dead romanian officer, and 100 jews for every romanian soldier (during the ]) "was motivated", that liquidation of 18,000 Jews in the same massacre ordered by Antonescu "were revenge killings, but" that's not so important since "he also saved many Jews, especially in the Regat". Nevertheless "that doesn't necessarily make him a Holocaust perpetrator" because he ordered the killings just because he "wanted to set an example", and overall "He was a hero for other reasons, but like all tragic heroes he was flawed" and wasn't responsible for Holocaust because "Holocaust perpetrators don't set up theatres for Jews". And of course there was no ] because "Not every Jew killed in WWII in Europe was a victim of the Holocaust. They were victims, but not necessarily Holocaust victims."(I can provide diffs for each and every one) I also wear some green T-shirts. And I'm a commie. So it's not very clear for me. As for that death threat, most probably nothing will happen, because admins don't usually get involved in such touchy subjects. Probably neither the fact that he sent me a laconic e-mail in Romanian were he "swore" that I "will pay for it" would help. Sorry for my tone, but i was disgruntled because of the deletion] 22:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

First: I did not issue a death threat, I depicted a death in a story, one which I have no wish to see happen, and certainly none at all to carry out. As for my vow that he would "pay for it", which was sent in another dispute: I meant by being blocked, nothing more.


{| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;"
Second, Anonimu misunderstands what I meant by "no relation" - I meant that fiction writing has no place on Misplaced Pages. Still, let me clarify: the story was so outside the bounds of possibility, it could not happen, and in case that wasn't clear enough: ''it won't happen'', because I have no intention of it happening, of harming anyone here.

Third: what he says about "holodean" is an obfuscatory diversion; I was called a Holocaust denier, and he was wrong to call me that. Similarly, I was called an Iron Guard member, which has nothing to do with green T-shirts. Perhaps I said those things, but only because I was foolish enough to debate this user, who spends his time bothering me. Still, let me address the historical points:
: Yes, Antonescu showed heroism. A very tarnished one, but no man is 100% evil, certainly not one who tried to rescue Romania's international standing.
: He did save hundreds of thousands of Jews. I never denied he killed Jews, but he also saved a large number.
: My words on the killings in Transnistria, which I never claimed were justified, have been twisted out of all measure. Yes, the killings were motivated; no, they were not justified.
: Again, his heroism has nothing to do with his killing. And I reiterate: these were victims, but not necessarily victims of The Holocaust. Maybe you don't like my opinion, but what about your opinions on the ]?


Hi,
Sasquatch: please be considerate when weighing this matter and try to understand that I am the target of a vicious campaign of slander, and that the story was a mistake, but in no way a threat. ] 22:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


I don't think the edits made to ] is patent nonsense. The user was clearly trying to create an article.

At ], in answer to a query of mine about whether a block was too long, you said "In retrospect, I agree the block should have been made shorter. I will unblock the range." Perhaps ironically, reading your message there made it seem rather more likely that the length of the block was not too long, and might even be considered too short, because having seen the edits from the other IP range that you linked to I could see that a disruptive editor had been active for close to a month. ] (]) 16:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

::{{re|JamesBWatson}} {{re|Redalert2fan}} Yeah, I was hoping the IP vandal had just jumped to another range, but these are the kinds of things you just have to wait and see for.

::: {{Ping|Redalert2fan}} and '''Sasquatch''': When I wrote above "I could see that a disruptive editor had been active for close to a month", I considered adding something like "...and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been going on much longer than that", and I now see I would have been right. Even though the proportion of disruptive editing is high, I would be reluctant to block IP ranges with significant amounts of constructive editing for the very long period that would be necessary, so perhaps the way forward is to go through the tedious process of 365 semi-protections. ] (]) 19:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

== Now who's hounding who? ==
To be clear, my problem wasn't a matter of hotheadedness, but a genuine boiling point with the wa Arcayne behaves. He's got a habit of jumping in on things as if to put out fires everywhere, but he does so with little to no attention to context and to whether or not his participation is needed. The problem with Duhman was being sorted out without his interjections, and I think the fact that both of us told him to butt out shows that. However, and you can check Duhman009's page to see, Arcayne woulnd't accept that, and pursued, as Duhman pointed out, the last word. He did the same to me. Instead of taking our intial 'please leave us alone ot discuss this' messages seriously, he kept pushing at it. TO top that with the citation nagging really was ridiculous. EVERYTHING would have been resolved without his presence with a lot LESS stress. That said, I will endeavor in the future to be even less reactive to his style. (For the record, my edits all over the rest of wiki for the same time period were generally as civil as I can be, (except in vandalism reverts, where my sarcasm sometimes reigns supreme, but hey, for dick joeks, how much civ is needed?) ] 04:50, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
:See, commenting on this will give ThuranX the ammo required to claim that I am seeking the last word, despite the fact that this was not the case on either his or Duhman's talk page. In point of fact, much of what ThuranX has claimed here and elsewhere is at best an exaggeration of events and my supposed "habit of jumping in on things as if to put out fires everywhere, but he does so with little to no attention to context and to whether or not his participation is needed". First of all, whether my participation is ''requested'' or required is immaterial, as the last time I checked Wikpedia wasn't a member's only club. In fact, I think the subtitle for the website is that it's the 💕 that ''anyone can edit''." Not just those people ThuranX think are worthy of editing.
:Secondly, the claim that the issue was resolved was belied by the fact that while indeed both parties asked me to "butt out", they also took the opportunity while doing so to the content argument on my Talk page (since archived). As well, the idea that my edits were stressful to him, it would be important to note that before his blow-up, my posts were both civil and germane. The first rule of editing here is that if you aren't prepared to have your edits questioned, WP isn't the place for you. The connection to this blow-up and his other edits indicate a increasingly frustrated tone in the admin boards regarding other matters. I am willing to consider that his attacks were at the very least influenced by that particularly annoying matter.
:Lastly, while I think that I could have taken a less militant tone in regards to my edits tagging uncited statements, a few other administrators have noted how individual tags tend to be resolved with citations far more frequently than a more generic 'uncited' section or page tag does. Using the individual tag specifically targets the info needing citation. However, I can perhaps take a different tact, and request better citation via the Discussion page initially, or seek out some of the cites myself.
:I do appreciate that ThuranX will attemtp to be less reactive. Up until his uncivil outburst, I fairly respected the guy. I certainly hope he can earn that respect back. - ] ] 12:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

== New to editing - D Hutto ==

Dear Sasquatch

I am utter novice to editing pages on Misplaced Pages. I created my account of 3 July in order to protect the biography of a living person (myself) from vandalism. I recognise the COI in this case. I utterly respect the need for neutrality and the sharing factual information. However, the page on me has, over time, been edited in such a way that information on my scholarly achievements has been stripped back in order to make other information about my involvement in the creation of new degree program - a BA in Western Civilisation at the University of Wollongong more prominent in unbalanced and non-neutral way. The page is missing other important details, currently contains factual errors, and spelling mistakes. I would like to provide a substantial, accurate update for this page but I do not wish to run foul of your COI rules. How can I best do that] (]) 22:35, 4 July 2021 (UTC)?
:{{u|Danhutto}} Hello Dan, have you reviewed ]? I would start there. First off, you need to disclose your conflicts of interest ]. From there, for any substantial additions, please suggest it on the talk page of the article in a new section and user the {{tl|Request edit}} template after which it will be reviewed and potentially added. Copy edits for grammar or removal of '''unsourced''' negative content (like the edits you made recently) are generally considered okay. However, if they are reverted, please discuss on the talk page and do not engage in ]. Beyond that, the guide has information on what we limit our articles too. You may also want to review our policy on ] with a focus on our policy on self-published sources. ''']''' ]&#0124;] 01:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello Sasquatch. Thanks for your note on my post regarding Martin Bresnick. I'm completely new to Misplaced Pages, so I appreciate your message. I'm a fan of Martin's music, but perhaps I should understand more about Misplaced Pages before I go editing things. The references for the information I added are from Martin's own homepage and from the website of his publisher, Carl Fischer. But I'm afraid I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I guess one question I have is whether it's possible to revert to the form of the page before I added my edits and to start over. I'd appreciate your advice. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </span>
:{{u|Orkney94}} Thanks for reaching out! For starters, Misplaced Pages keeps a copy of any edits that were made that can be accessed from the page history. Your revision . I strongly suggest your carefully review our ]. Some important policy to review carefully are our policies on ], ] and ]. I reverted your edits because you did not provide any reliable sources. We generally require secondary sources (i.e. sources that don't come from the subject themselves) for information that we put into an article. There were a couple of problems with your edits as you presented them. First, you simply made a large list of awards that reads more like a resume and ganders more into promotion than a neutral point of view. I also went back and removed claims like he is "widely influential teacher of contemporary composition" that are reliable, independent, secondary sources to back up that claim. Same with the description of what his compositions are like. We generally want to avoid sources from PR pages (like from music publishers) when backing up these claims as well. Although it may seem harsh at time, we are committed to ] on Misplaced Pages (that is to say, simply being a true fact or opinion is not enough). If there are news sources, books, or academic sources (e.g. papers) on his work that can back up this information, then it is our job to find a neutral way to present that information and source it properly. To get you started, maybe reviewing some papers like or would be useful in crafting a paragraph on Bresnick's style. Finding news articles on major awards he has on and giving proper weight to them in the article would also be appropriate. I hope that helps!

You deleted all of the books as self-published.

On the issue of "self-published," Some of his books are published by Zenways, a Zen center that he runs. Here in the US, some of major Orthodox publishers are St Vladimirs Seminary Press. A goodly number of their publications are by their faculty -- does that make them "self-published"? If so, we would have to strip almost all of the books by Orthodox theologians such as Alexander Schmemann, John Meyendorff, Paul Meyendorff, John Behr, Thomas Hook, etc. There seems a relevant distinction to be made between vanity publishing (where one pays to have one's work published) and institutional publishing where the author is part of the institution. --] (]) 15:34, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Sasquatch, I don't deny I broke this policy but what concerns me is the lack of protection against two or more editors ganging up against another. In the edit history, you'll see that I provided a clear reason for each of my edits/reverts and the two users that reverted me, One Night in Hackney and Padraig did not. They merely left unqualified phrases like 'NPOV' in the edit history or simply a url to an earlier discussion on the 'killing v. murder' debate. Not a Misplaced Pages policy, just a informal debate that had no identifiable clear conclusion and one of the revertors had been involved in-so in part a self-reference. When you add up the number of reverts committed by these two users-both declined to enter into meaningful discussion except to refer to the village pump discussion -it breaks the 3RR rule too. This rule is fundamentally flawed, don't you agree? I am in the wrong simply because there is two of them and one of me. ] 20:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Destroyer 27

Dear Sasquatch,

Since I am a new user I know very little about how Misplaced Pages works. I also don't know if it was proper to respond on the noticeboard page. Since I was named and thereby had received a notification, I thought I must present my side. If I mustn't, in such cases, I henceforth won't.

Best,

Happy Birthday, Sasquatch! ♥

Wishing you all the best on your birthday! From the Misplaced Pages Birthday Committee.

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Icon of a white exclamation mark within a black triangle
 Administrators must secure their accounts

The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

View additional information

Why have I received this message?
All administrators are receiving it.
What prompted you to send this message?
Recently, several Misplaced Pages admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account.
What do I need to do?
Only to follow the instructions in this message.
  1. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
  2. Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
  3. Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.
How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:28, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

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)

Thanks

@CLCStudent: I really don't understand the argument of how naming India's first prime minister is a "political issue" despite it already being in the page. Absolutely unbelievable amount of WP:OWN and edit warring. I also want to thank you for all your efforts in reverting and listing vandalism. Cheers. Sasquatch t|c 20:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

User:49.150.112.179

Hi,

I don't think the edits made to User Talk:49.150.112.179 is patent nonsense. The user was clearly trying to create an article.

Whether or not the article was any good, probably not, but I think it would have been better to not delete it outright. Rockstonetalk to me! 02:44, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Rockstone35: I don't think Adam Levine, Bree Olsen, Renee Zellweger and John Newman ever participated in MegaMan related content called "Don't let Israelites GO!" or "Drill it deep, deeper, DEEPEST!". Cheers. Sasquatch t|c 02:47, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
LOL, you're right. I only looked at the page briefly and thought it looked like someone trying to make an article. I should have looked closer, sorry. Sounds like a a candidate for Misplaced Pages:Still_more_Best_of_BJAODN. Rockstonetalk to me! 02:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Range block

At User talk:1.144.108.193, in answer to a query of mine about whether a block was too long, you said "In retrospect, I agree the block should have been made shorter. I will unblock the range." Perhaps ironically, reading your message there made it seem rather more likely that the length of the block was not too long, and might even be considered too short, because having seen the edits from the other IP range that you linked to I could see that a disruptive editor had been active for close to a month. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Joining this section, per my request at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1012#Request_IP_range_lock_due_to_abuse_on_day_of_the_year_pages this vandal is back again at July 3 and July 9 with the exact same problem as last time. Redalert2fan (talk) 17:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: @Redalert2fan: Yeah, I was hoping the IP vandal had just jumped to another range, but these are the kinds of things you just have to wait and see for. I've always been a firm believer that unblocks are cheap and we can just re-assess later as behavior comes up. I'll try to look into it later today if no other admin has already. Sasquatch t|c 18:39, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@Redalert2fan: and Sasquatch: When I wrote above "I could see that a disruptive editor had been active for close to a month", I considered adding something like "...and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been going on much longer than that", and I now see I would have been right. Even though the proportion of disruptive editing is high, I would be reluctant to block IP ranges with significant amounts of constructive editing for the very long period that would be necessary, so perhaps the way forward is to go through the tedious process of 365 semi-protections. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
No, 366. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: Yeah, that may have to be the solution. Either option is disruptive to legitimate editors, so these are never easy decisions to make, but protecting the date pages may be less disruptive overall as non-confirmed users can still make edit requests at the talk page. Sasquatch t|c 19:36, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Yes. For now I have re-blocked 1.144.108.0/22 for two weeks to buy some time. If we do protect the articles, we can lift that block, but I can't even consider putting in the time required for all those protections now, or even a significant proportion of them.
If there were any way of checking, I would be willing to bet very heavily that the IP editor who made the unblock request, and who since the unblock has posted on numerous IP-block-related talk pages, is the date editor. Nothing that I could put forward as proof, but the whole tenor and tone of the editing is that which I have learnt over the years is typical of an editor who thinks he or she should be allowed to do anything they like and resents being prevented, and not at all typical of the attitude of a genuine innocent bystander caught up in collateral damage. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately once again the disruptive edits have returned, for example 1.144.111.219 & 1.129.105.137 + many more on a lot of different dates. This person just seems to write down on their calendar when their block expires and continue ignoring everything... -Redalert2fan (talk) 09:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Now who's hounding who?

Johnbod (talk) 21:12, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

@Johnbod: Drop it already. JesseRafe is not hounding your edits. They appear to have made an edit to Suzi Leather independently, you reverted, they reverted back. Start an RFC if you want more input like you have said already multiple times. Hounding is when a user systematically goes through someone's edits on unrelated topics and issues to confront them. There is no evidence, other than a dispute about the manual of style, that JesseRafe has done such a thing. I suggest you learn to address things more collaboratively with that editor if you have an issue rather than throwing out spurious complaints. Sasquatch t|c 22:35, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

@Skywatcher68: No activity from those IPs recently. If you find a new active one, report it to AIV. This is typical of a IP hopping long term abuse user where they hop from between public wifi spots. A block is usually not necessary on old IPs. Sasquatch t|c 19:53, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Suspected Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of My Baby Burger

A tag has been placed on Category:Suspected Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of My Baby Burger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more 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 you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Talk page comment removal

Hi Sasquatch! On another user's talk page, you recently told them not to "delete other user's comments". To my knowledge, it's totally acceptable to do so. Am I wrong? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 17:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers: I reviewed the policy and you are absolutely correct. For some reason I thought there was something about warnings not being deleted but I see now it is much more narrow. I was going to address the same point the deleted comment made, but I will do so in a new warning next time. Thanks for pointing that out. Sasquatch t|c 20:32, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

New to editing - D Hutto

Dear Sasquatch

I am utter novice to editing pages on Misplaced Pages. I created my account of 3 July in order to protect the biography of a living person (myself) from vandalism. I recognise the COI in this case. I utterly respect the need for neutrality and the sharing factual information. However, the page on me has, over time, been edited in such a way that information on my scholarly achievements has been stripped back in order to make other information about my involvement in the creation of new degree program - a BA in Western Civilisation at the University of Wollongong more prominent in unbalanced and non-neutral way. The page is missing other important details, currently contains factual errors, and spelling mistakes. I would like to provide a substantial, accurate update for this page but I do not wish to run foul of your COI rules. How can I best do thatDanhutto (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2021 (UTC)?

Danhutto Hello Dan, have you reviewed our guide to best practices for editing your own article? I would start there. First off, you need to disclose your conflicts of interest per our policy here. From there, for any substantial additions, please suggest it on the talk page of the article in a new section and user the {{Request edit}} template after which it will be reviewed and potentially added. Copy edits for grammar or removal of unsourced negative content (like the edits you made recently) are generally considered okay. However, if they are reverted, please discuss on the talk page and do not engage in edit warring. Beyond that, the guide has information on what we limit our articles too. You may also want to review our policy on reliable sources with a focus on our policy on self-published sources. Sasquatch t|c 01:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Martin Bresnick

Hello Sasquatch. Thanks for your note on my post regarding Martin Bresnick. I'm completely new to Misplaced Pages, so I appreciate your message. I'm a fan of Martin's music, but perhaps I should understand more about Misplaced Pages before I go editing things. The references for the information I added are from Martin's own homepage and from the website of his publisher, Carl Fischer. But I'm afraid I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I guess one question I have is whether it's possible to revert to the form of the page before I added my edits and to start over. I'd appreciate your advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orkney94 (talk • contribs)

Orkney94 Thanks for reaching out! For starters, Misplaced Pages keeps a copy of any edits that were made that can be accessed from the page history. Your revision can be found here. I strongly suggest your carefully review our help guide on referencing. Some important policy to review carefully are our policies on verifiability, neutral point of view and reliable sources. I reverted your edits because you did not provide any reliable sources. We generally require secondary sources (i.e. sources that don't come from the subject themselves) for information that we put into an article. There were a couple of problems with your edits as you presented them. First, you simply made a large list of awards that reads more like a resume and ganders more into promotion than a neutral point of view. I also went back and removed claims like he is "widely influential teacher of contemporary composition" that are reliable, independent, secondary sources to back up that claim. Same with the description of what his compositions are like. We generally want to avoid sources from PR pages (like from music publishers) when backing up these claims as well. Although it may seem harsh at time, we are committed to verifiability, not truth on Misplaced Pages (that is to say, simply being a true fact or opinion is not enough). If there are news sources, books, or academic sources (e.g. papers) on his work that can back up this information, then it is our job to find a neutral way to present that information and source it properly. To get you started, maybe reviewing some papers like this one or this one would be useful in crafting a paragraph on Bresnick's style. Finding news articles on major awards he has on and giving proper weight to them in the article would also be appropriate. I hope that helps! (PS, please try to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~)). Sasquatch t|c 19:18, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
If you can find access to this 1998 NYT article, it may also be helpful in citing a lot of the career history and style. I'll try to find some time to find a home for the content in the article but always glad if someone else can help! Sasquatch t|c 19:37, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Apologization

Hello there. I just wanted to let know my apologies for asking another editor which country they are from. Won't do this kind of mistake anymore. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chynapras (talk • contribs)

Chynapras Thank you. Please review the policies I outlined carefully. Especially our personal attacks policy which clearly states: Comment on content, not on the contributor.

You are welcome. And I will obviously go through the policies that you gave me. And I just ended my rivalry and my fight with Mr. Prinon. So no more personal attacks. Just peace. And I am sorry again for asking another editor his living country. Will obviously try to show more professionalism from next time as you asked me. Thank you for rectifying my mistake. 👉Chynapras👈 (talk) 20:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Lugnuts

Hi. I think I had done grave mistake by apologising Lugnuts. I have promised that I wouldn't stalk their edits. And I am really not stalking. But they have recently reverted my edits at Will Buttleman. As I have said earlier, I will try to discuss with them politely. I have tried to leave them a message on their talk page. But they reverted my edit saying me an "idiot". So, isn't it a personal attack? As I have promised, I won't attack them in any circumstances, but I need help in these situations. So, please help me what shall I do? — A.A Prinon  07:52, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

A.A Prinon How do you find pages to edit? Also, why did you suddenly show an interest in Pascasio Sola after your unblock? Sasquatch t|c 08:12, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
I edit pages based on recent coverages or match reports. But, I am now never stalking their edits. How can I now make you believe? What have I done to cause them annoy? And I have not suddenly shown interest in Pascasio Sola. I earlier also created a couple of football articles, Sayed Rased Turzo and Anguilla national football team results (1985–1999). Although, I don't have vast idea about football, I sometimes create stub articles related to footballers. I haven't made any personal attacks on that user. And are you supporting Lugnuts' behaviour in this instance? — A.A Prinon  08:57, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Will Buttleman was edited by Lugnuts one month ago, so how can it be stalking? — A.A Prinon  09:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

A.A Prinon I'm dealing with that separately. There's nothing further for me to do at this point from my perspective. If there are further issues please take it to the appropriate noticeboard. Sasquatch t|c 10:25, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind reply. I was just asking you not to believe in Lugnuts, he is perhaps trying to re-block me by misleading the admins. I will never make any WP:PAs in any circumstances, I will keep ignoring Lugnuts, as I am not really stalking their edits. Thanks. — A.A Prinon  10:41, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Sasquatch - sorry to burden you with this, but seeing as this is still ongoing, I feel obliged to respond. Note how Prinon doesn't answer your question about Pascasio Sola directly, instead just mentioning a footballer they created two months ago. The only article that links to Sola's page is 1955 South American Championship squads. This list I'd been working on a day either side of the creation of Sola's biography. So how exactly did Prinon chance upon him and create a biography? In the past two or three days, there have been these edits, with every one that passes more and more AGF filters away:
You asked me to "tone it down" on my talkpage, which I'm happy to do so. How much good faith do I give here? After they agreed to a vol. i-ban, and promise not to return to houding/stalking AFTER being blocked for it, this continues. Lugnuts 11:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: I don't care who created the article or else. Ok, to prevent accusations on stalking, from the next time I will see if it was recently edited by you or not. I even didn't know that 1955 Copa America was created by you or you were working on it. Apart of it, As I have told earlier, I save page into watchlist for 1 week after editing. I assure you I am not stalking your edits. Please show some WP:AGF. — A.A Prinon  11:45, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

And all the diffs you cited, there is a one day gap between my and your edits. So, it can't be stalking. If it was stalkibg, I would edit minutes after. My and your edit has big difference, none of those are causing you annoy, those aren't hounding. — A.A Prinon  11:50, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Lugnuts, If you are assuming bad faith, I also have to. When there's one day gap between my and your edits, you are calling stalking. Then I also have to cite some examples.
There are many such examples that can be cited, but I don't accuse Lugnuts of stalking, because I always assume good faith. — A.A Prinon  12:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
I've told you several times now - stop pinging me. Lugnuts 12:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Lugnuts, now you are admitting that you are stalking my edits, right? — A.A Prinon  12:16, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Many more recent examples in favour of Lugnuts' stalking:
Lugnuts is in fact trying to cause me annoy, which I don't intend. — A.A Prinon  12:25, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
And you STILL keep pinging me! Stop it. The change to Phil Salt's article was obviously as he was playing that same day. This edit was to redirect an exact copy of an article I'd already started! And as for your questions about edits on Curtis Campher's article, as you well know, he's in the starting XI for today's match, where I've updated all the other players as you can see here! That's Ieland's international match against South Africa. The very same broad topic area Sasquatch requested you stay away from. This is getting beyond a joke now with you playing dumb with relation to these edits. Lugnuts 12:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Don't give excuse now, you have indeed followed my edits around. I also made edits to those articles after receiving recent coverage. And, can you please stop bothering me? — A.A Prinon  12:53, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Sasquatch - after multiple request asking Prinon not to ping me, including in this very thread, they just ignore this. Lugnuts 13:02, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

This was just an edit request. I had to ping to get you notified. And you have the ability to mute me. You can do it for not getting further Notifications — A.A Prinon  13:26, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sasquatch - hope you are well. For info, this user started to edit under another account after this one was blocked. More info can be found at this SPI report. I don't know if that requires an update on A.A Prinon's block log from yourself. Thanks for your help with this matter earlier in the year. Lugnuts 07:34, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Range block 2

There has been a request for help at User talk:2600:1000:B019:41D:280C:73F3:5309:FAD0 ,relating to a block you placed on the range 2600:1000:B000:0:0:0:0:0/40. All the editing apart from that request for help has come from the smaller range 2600:1000:B040:0:0:0:0:0/42, as far as I can see. I have reduced the block to that range. Changing a block without consulting the blocking administrator is something I scarcely ever do, but I saw that you had not edited for about 5 hours, and since it seemed like a clear-cut situation, I decided rather than leave the editor waiting I would deal with it right away. If there is a good reason for the wider block that you know of but which is invisible to me then please restore the block, and accept my apologies. I will also check back myself from time to time in case I have unwittingly open the floodgates, and of course jump on the block button if so. JBW (talk) 16:39, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

JBW Not a problem at all! That specific LTA editor hops IPs like crazy anyways. Hoping they just lose interest soon more than anything else. Thank you for dealing with that. Sasquatch t|c 17:20, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
I can't find a red face emoticon on my phone, so this will have to do:🤢.
It seems I must have checked only the last hundred or so edits from the range before I modified the block. I have now checked further back, and I see that the abusive editing is spread much more widely across the range than I thought, so I've restored your block. JBW (talk) 20:27, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

On the issue of "self-published," Some of his books are published by Zenways, a Zen center that he runs. Here in the US, some of major Orthodox publishers are St Vladimirs Seminary Press. A goodly number of their publications are by their faculty -- does that make them "self-published"? If so, we would have to strip almost all of the books by Orthodox theologians such as Alexander Schmemann, John Meyendorff, Paul Meyendorff, John Behr, Thomas Hook, etc. There seems a relevant distinction to be made between vanity publishing (where one pays to have one's work published) and institutional publishing where the author is part of the institution. --JakusanZendo (talk) 15:34, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Anthony Merchant

Hi, just FYI. An anonymous IP address deleted your additions to the Anthony Merchant page as being "not well-sourced nor NPOV, and violates policies". Interestingly they didn't also delete the longstanding unsourced statements about how he's appealed his disciplinary suspensions. Seems to be a long history of anonymous edits deleting unfavourable content on the page. I wonder if it isn't people from his firm. I've also suddenly had over 100 invalid attempts to login to my account since I added the disciplinary sanctions section, which had never happened to me before. Macho Philipovich (talk) 22:31, 17 July 2021 (UTC) @Macho: Thank you. I will keep monitoring the page. I'm not sure there's much we can do about idiots trying to access your account other than to suggest that you use 2FA (if you aren't already). Sasquatch t|c 23:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

My password is 36 characters long and includes special characters, so I'm not too worried about someone making 100 wrong guesses. It's more just the whole thing strikes me as very sleazy. Macho Philipovich (talk) 01:44, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Increase protection for Springfield firearms pages

Hi Sasquatch, will it be possible for you to increase the protection on various Springfield firearm pages? The articles have been the target of vandalism and sock puppetry for over 4 months and I think an indefinite protection level like you did on the Charleville musket, Potzdam Musket, and M1752 Musket would be effective in stopping further misuse. I've filed a formal request as well and please feel free to have a look. Thank you Gunhawk91 (talk) 22:20, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

This comment was left by one of the sock accounts behind the disruption. -- Longhair\ 22:32, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Marion Carll Farm

Hi, I started some editing of Marion Carll Farm then noticed your revert. Shall we stick with removal of the unsourced comment? Neils51 (talk) 01:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Neils51: I think it violates NPOV and should be removed. Sorry, haven't been active lately but I will take a look. Sasquatch t|c 12:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Though you were not speaking to me, the article section suggests opinion about an artist instead of fact. Vocal style is subject to interpretation. If someone enters an opinion, it should be made clear that it is just that one wiki writer's opinion.

Wiki is supposed to be factual. Opinion should be marked as an opinion. There are suggestions that sound race biased in this article. It should be mentioned that Opinion on JoJo's(Joanna Noelle) vocal style is that of the one wiki writer, only. Her style is subject to interpretation, and opinions are subject, exclusively to ear of beholder. 173.75.43.9 (talk) 19:43, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Race bias

The article on JoJo the singer has opinions that suggest race bias about her singing. That comes across as offensive. Wiki is about presenting facts as opposed to opinions. 173.75.43.9 (talk) 19:48, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:64.107.3.137

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, introducing hoaxes, such as User talk:64.107.3.137, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Misplaced Pages is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Misplaced Pages—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
