==That IP is back again==
Hello! Random thing to jump into I know, but as someone totally and completely fascinated with the ArbCom process (bring me popcorn) and Misplaced Pages procedural and policy matters in general (I consider AN and ANI to be things I read "for fun"), I wanted to ask a few things about clerkship. I can appreciate that my contributions log in no way suggests I'd be appropriate for that position, thus this isn't a request for endorsement but just a few things I'm curious about. What general level of ongoing participation in the Project is expected before such a clerkship would be a realistic aim? Also, it seems require Adminship? I guess if that's the case it makes the rest of this post rather pointless and I'm wasting both of our time! Even passive suggestions that I was eventual admin material several years ago ironically helped scare me away from the Project and that goal is not something I'm sure I'd eventually want to face in the future. Thanks! <b>♪</b> <span style="font-family:Verdana;font-variant:small-caps">]]</span> 01:44, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Callanecc, That IP is back edit warring on the ] again and has now decided to . I see they have on the ] page, so I'm not the only one who is struggling with this individual.

==Abusive account names filter (Edit filter #102)==
on page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:AbuseFilter

I tried to add a filter:<br>
------------------------------
(action == "createaccount")
& ((user_name rlike "{4,}")
| (user_name rlike "{4,}")
| (user_name rlike "")
| (user_name rlike "")
| (user_name rlike ".*"))
--------------------------------

I'd like to avoid :
* 4 or more consecutive consonants
* 4 or more digits
* cyrillic or greek characters
* more than one blank or other special character

I added the filter and tried, however it does not seem to trigger to bad names.

I assume, that at createaccount time there is no user_name, and therefore the check does not trigger.
Is there a way at all to check the entered user name?

Thank you in advance: ] (]) 22:22, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

== Does a notification of a closed arbitration case count as a DS alert? ==

For example ]. I was about to leave a {{template|ds/alert}}, but after seeing the closure notice I wondered if a formal alert on top of that may raise the spectre of "Any editor who issues alerts disruptively may be sanctioned". (No editor was mentioned in the final decision or has been sanctioned, so technically nobody is "alerted" if we ignore the closure notices.) ''] ~ ]'' 22:48, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
:It's not covered by the final decision clause as they weren't named in it. If they'd made a statement in the clarification request in which the motion was passed they'd likely be "aware" because of that (#2 in that section on ], but as they didn't they need {{tl|Ds/alert}}. My reading of the paragraph about disruptively issuing alerts would be knowingly issuing more than {{tl|Ds/alert}} in a year or using for chilling effect in a content dispute. <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 01:23, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

::OK I've done the alerts. I can make a pretty strong case against myself for alerting "disruptively". I am currently participating in a content dispute with those I alerted. Because I know about DS on Landmark, I must have seen the arbitration case, so I must have known they were part of it. In addition, they each received a formal notification that Landmark now falls under DS, which is readily apparent on each talk page. Because no reasonable person could suspect that they were unaware of DS sanctions, I must have issued the alerts for a chilling effect.

That is what the confusion was about. Please may ''both'' of these pages be semi-protected for a month? The idea is to keep this and other IPs off anything listed under my userpage, including the Notes part, and off my userpage generally. As you will see, it has been spotted by the WP that the IP in question is in fact two IPs, with slightly different addresses, as can be seen from the Revision History for User:P-123/Notes .

Hello Callanecc, for the past couple of months I've been seeing the big backlogs that regularly happen at SPI.

== Sanction review ==

As the closing admin, I'd like you to review the topic ban placed on me with this being the appeal of ending it. As per the close, , I was not entirely wrong. The word "major" was added due to one of the sources I reviewed (and is also only being kept out due to lack of consensus, I think I had a right to share my deductions in forming that consensus) but most of issues were due to my opposing of blanking the term "victory" in which I was not wrong. As far as the other things such as casting aspirations go, it was recognized in the AE that all of them were not wrong rather I had recently faced enough to get to the conclusions of following based on the diffs I gave then... with that said and leaving the objections aside, my main point is that I have long ended engaging OZ and have not violated my ban. As such this is topic is closed and also reviewed which most probably is going in the closer's way.. I don't mind what sources are used as far as consensus is followed. Furthermore, I've also been banned for a around a month, it can be reduced for being stale as all that contention is stale and the sanction is no more preventive - plus my behaviour in other topics hasn't shown any disruption. --<span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">] (])</span> 05:51, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

:It's not about whether you were 'right' or not but about who you went about it. However given that the use of sources was involved I can see how you made that connection. Having said that, I'm willing to accept in good faith that you realise what you did wrong and have learnt from it. However I'm not convinced that you will make good, constructive, collaborative edits to ], so I'd be willing to replace your current topic ban with a topic ban from ] until the expiry date of the current TBAN (12:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)).

::To be honest, I see the consensus finalizing that infobox anyway and I can live with that (the article was really not on my top priority, I just went after some old sock master who was reverting to completely opposite statements and fell into this mess).

:::It was not just Battle of Chawinda, but many other articles. On ] he continued to edit war over results and never discussed them. On ] he edit warred over making a conspiracy theory look clean. On ] he restored the statements that were removed a year ago because they were unsourced since 2012, and his edit summary reads "Restored consensus version.. no intermediate useful edits", misleading indeed because he had never discussed them. And a few others. Even if the topic ban is limited to Battle of Chawinda, I am certain that we will still have a number of unnecessary edit conflicts. Since the topic ban, TopGun has not made even 75 edits to main article space, I doubt that how he proved that he can edit without conflicting. ] <small>(] • ] • ])</small> 06:49, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

::::OccultZone your conduct on those articles is not great either. In fact having seen the reverts from both of you I'm of the opinion that it might be useful to impose 1RR on both of you for any edit which relates to the India-Pakistan conflict (with the clarification that you may only revert accounts and IPs you believe to be socks without reference to 1RR if you have reported them).

:::::I don't mind 1-RR for the length of my original TBAN (or a voluntary 1RR if not sanctioned)... but it will only make sense if it is symmetric to OZ or I might be effectively be blocked from making edits by simply being reverted out if OZ chooses to revert me twice every time. --<span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">] (])</span> 07:18, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

:::::::I have never reverted more than 2 times unless it was a sock(usually Nangparbat). While <s>TopGun usually reverts on the sight without even looking at the sources or the information.</s> There are no instances where he would open a new thread on ATP and explain his edits or he would reply to any older thread that concerns the content. He usually sees what is actually favoring his opinion and that he would create unnecessary edit conflict. It is very hard to return to a stale version because TopGun normally never agrees with others. Not to forget that TopGun had violated his TBAN once and even if he was not aware of it, still that edit misrepresented the source. These articles had no edit conflicts for more than a month between users, which is a good sign. Although there are some instances where some of the editors have socked, its not that serious issue. I have never seen anyone actually alleging me of ] for ages. Considering that I have made over 170,000 edits, I have not been blocked even once. ] <small>(] • ] • ])</small> 07:28, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

::::::::I haven't been reverting people even close to 3RR else where since my ban, so why would I editwar in the long term. Priors were related to well known hounding / baiting by a sock. 1RR as such will only slow down collaborative editing. I recently ] approved from the military topics. I don't think I can develop articles that fast under 1RR. It can always be thrown in if an intentional editwar is seen in future though. Don't know why OZ is continuing to focus on me and mention my self reverted possible violation after clarification. --<span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">] (])</span> 07:30, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
{{outdent|::::::::}} I'm just talking about since you're ban I'm talking long term (can be seen in OZ's links and in your final warning from last time). You shouldn't be reverting people when you write articles, if you are it means you need to stop and discuss with them. <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 07:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
:I've already agreed to an article specific topic ban, and don't mind a 1RR for the same time. I do contend that there's been nothing new that warrants an extended 1RR as the "last time" was proven to be a deliberate socking, following and what not and all those issues are stale. I don't see how this stops an admin from putting me under 1RR ''when'' the issue arises as far as "long term" is concerned about the Indo-Pak conflicts. --<span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">] (])</span> 07:49, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

That IP is back again

Hi Callanecc, That IP is back edit warring on the List of Maggie Smith performances again and has now decided to label my edits as vandalism and call me a troll in the process. I see they have also edit warred and labelled as vandalism on the Janey Godley page, so I'm not the only one who is struggling with this individual. Someone on the Godley history says the range should be banned, but as they hop IPs to different countries, I'm not sure that's going to be much of a barrier, but who knows. Thanks - SchroCat (talk)

I've blocked 213.55.128.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from editing those two pages for a week for edit warring. I did 36 hours last time so we can keep increasing as needed. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 07:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
That's great - thanks very much indeed! - SchroCat (talk) 07:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
