			:::::It is quite refreshing to see discussions on talk pages that are civil, even if the participants disagree.

While it's probably not a hill I would die on, I will admit that I like seeing an infobox at the top of biographies, if only to get those "fast facts" about a subject, so to see them in all of these pages shows that general opinions may be shifting from those of a decade ago. ] (]) 17:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

	== 1292simon ==

	Hello. I would like to address some concerns regarding recent AfC reviews, particularly with user {{noping\|1292simon}}. I invited the user to join the WikiProject a few days ago after noticing some reviews he made on other drafts, as I did not see him listed as a participant. He has since not acknowledged my message and has continued to review submissions against advisory: {{tq\|Editors whose usernames are not on the list are strongly cautioned not to review AfC submissions.}} Is there a way this can be addressed to the user? Thanks in advance! ] ] 08:15, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
	:I was asked the same question ], and I have to say I haven't had an opportunity to really look into their reviews. As I said then, there's nothing ''prohibiting'' them from reviewing drafts, but of course if they are not doing ''good'' reviews then we can potentially look into taking administrative action against them. ] (]) 19:52, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

	== Date errors in 'Lists of killings ... States, <month> <year>' ==

	I think (from edit ) you were involved in a conversion of these pages from yearly to monthly. I find the structure confusing, but the end result is that the current state is that ''all'' pages have a lede sentence saying it is a list of killings in 2020, regardless of what year and month the list page is actually giving data for. This affects the popup preview of the page when hovering over the links in ], as well as the text of the page itself.

	I hope you can figure out where macro or template stuff is going wrong, or otherwise fix this problem. Thanks. --] (]) 17:39, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
	:Actually, it was an error elsewhere, but I've fixed it. Thank you for letting me know.
	:If you have further suggestions on how to make it a little more user-friendly I'm happy to hear them. I moved away from the "yearly" lists because those pages weren't actually showing the monthly totals, and to combine them all into one page would make the list/page too big. ] (]) 19:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
	:: One thing I've noted is the annoyance that each of the tables is presented in reverse chronological order, the opposite of common convention. This is probably a holdover from the time it was part of one big list, where it might arguably be a positive attribute. In present form, I think it has none. Unfortunately, it seems revision of the order would, because of wikitable restriction, require reordering of all entries. That makes it an unreasonable burden to achieve conventional ordering, and clicking the date sort icon is not a huge burden for each reader, so we can live with the current table default ordering.
	:: I'm not sure whether having the table in the root article give the number of entries in the lists is really a positive or not. It's probably a bit useful to editors looking for months with low coverage to work on, but many readers may be likely to mistake the numbers for the numbers of killings rather than the number of entries (despite the verbiage above the table). I suppose the numbers could be available in a default-hidden table, while the main table just has a link to the list page (say using the month abbreviation). That might be a way to serve both the naive reader and the more sophisticated reader. --] (]) 05:37, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
	:::Yeah, the date order predates my time working on the pages. As far as "entries vs killings", could you give an example? I was under the impression that the table was ''only'' supposed to list killings; if there are "shootings" not resulting in death, then they should probably be removed. ] (]) 15:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
	:::: I didn't get that across right. I don't know of any nonfatal table entries. The issue I was bringing up is that the numbers in the main table of ] are not counts of the number of people killed by officers in a given month or year, but rather counts of how many have been documented on the related WP List page. The latter number is a small, often ''very'' small, subset of the former number. A naive reader might look at it and think that only 200 were killed in 2016, but other sources put the total for 2016 much higher (e.g., shows 1093). That reader was misled by the presence of the number because he assumed it meant the thing obvious to him: that the number was an approximately right count or estimate of the total number of killings. (Instead, of course, it's just a number resulting from the hit-or-miss activity of WP editors.) I was suggesting avoiding this sort of misleading presentation by not showing those numbers by default. Rather than dropping them entirely, I thought it would be better to keep the numbers available in a "hidden" place (maybe just like the current table), that a reader has to press a "Show" button to expose (a common construct on WP). --] (]) 18:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

	== Afc Deny ==

	Hi, so you are giving regularly users with less than 20-30 edits per day and perhaps 2-3k edits in total the Afc Rights only because they had been logged in 90 days ago!? I am sorry and I know it is pretty unpopular to challenge the rules but this makes no sense at all. I have 130 edits in average per day with a 2% revert quote so I honestly think that I have by far more experience than lots of others whom has given the right. Honestly disappointing and de-motivating. ] (]) 06:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
	:I think I'll make a counter-example that in a lot of places a 14-year-old is considered unsuitable to drive, even if they have been "driving" (i.e. on a farm or illegally) since they were 12; most countries still require that individual to reach 16 or 18 before being legally allowed to drive.

	::{{u\|Primefac}}, well, chapeau, don't want to extend this unnecessarily but at all the 90 days rules without being able to make exemptions makes no sense, I am editing on all frontlines here (Vandalism, AfCs, COI, CopyVios, Welcoming, CE etc etc) so objectively I am doing a lot of stuff, more than 90% of the AfC approved guys. But of course I will not going to ask any 30 days "oh please, please sysops, let me help you doing your work/reducing your backlog ;)" - I (and any other surely) will stop or at least reduce it.

	== NOC codes ==

			== Your term on the Arbitration Committee has been extended ==
	Hi, I wanted to ask for some changes in ] but before that I wanted to make sure about one thing, I see for some countries like Bahrain you added all previous or current codes into the list, BRN, BHR, BHN. I'm curious if you are OK do that for some other countries ? I mean what's the policy about that ? thanks. ] (]) 15:13, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
	:The short answer is yes, we can add former codes. The slightly longer answer is that those codes are old/deprecated, so if the code was used in an older version of the Games the module needs to recognize that. On the other hand, I wouldn't be okay with arbitrarily adding "SPA" as a shortcut for Spain, because it has (as far as I'm aware) never been used as a three-letter code to represent it. What are you looking to add? ] (]) 15:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
	:: TMP for East Timor. they used that code for 2002 Asian Games, . actually I was taking a look at this page ] I have to check old documents carefully before asking for any other change, for a simple reason that IOC standardized codes only in 1972 so it's better to not use those pre-1972 codes because they were just random letters used by the host nation. I was curious if it's technically possible to use the same code for more than one country ? for example VNM showing Vietnam for some years and South Vietnam for some other years.

	: Since you were nice I want to ask for some other changes, I checked some official reports to make sure there is no mistake, HOL=NED, NGU=PNG, SAU=KSA, they are mostly NOC codes used for the 1988 Olympics. but I have two more requests, first about Vietnam, right now VNM returns "South Vietnam" and VIE returns Vietnam. but in two Games, before the existence of South Vietnam they still used that code for "Vietnam" '''1954 Asian Games and 1952 Summer Olympics'''. so in short I want VNM returns Vietnam (and not South Vietnam) for those two Games. my last request is probably more complicated. currently MAL returns Malaya, but from what I saw they also used that for Malaysia for a very long time. before 1963 it was Malaya (with MAL as code) but after that until 1990 it was still MAL (but this time for Malaysia), is it possible to make all these exceptions ? 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 Summer Olympics and 1966, 1970, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986 and 1990 Asian Games. ] (]) 22:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

cand q

Thank you for standing for arbitrator. I am far away from it all (travel, mourning), not in the mood, so just an informal question you can answer or ignore:

Liviu Holender chose lieder by five composers whose music was banned by the Nazis—Schreker, Zemlinsky, Mahler, Korngold and Schönberg—for a recital at the Oper Frankfurt.

What does this 2024 DYK tell you about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I assume you mean the article and not the DYK hook itself (which has nothing to do with infoboxes). I suppose the article doesn't really tell me anything about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024, which... I guess is a good thing? I don't see any evidence of warring or dispute over the infobox. Primefac (talk) 16:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I meant the hook mentioning 5 composers whose talk pages might tell you something about the degree of disagreement. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I did not think to look at every talk page, will do so in the near future but I will be largely unavailable for probably 24 48 hours. Primefac (talk) 12:22, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

story · music · places

How about now? - November was rich in sadness and happiness for me, expressed in music. Regarding my (archived question), I found one so far who looked deeply into the matter, Simonm223. There are two composers on the Main page today, Siegfried Thiele and Aaron Copland. I find the response of my friend Jerome Kohl to a question on Copland's article talk promising. What do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

It is quite refreshing to see discussions on talk pages that are civil, even if the participants disagree. I believe I said something similar in the last round of elections, but it does appear that the age of edit warring over infoboxes has passed. While it's probably not a hill I would die on, I will admit that I like seeing an infobox at the top of biographies, if only to get those "fast facts" about a subject, so to see them in all of these pages shows that general opinions may be shifting from those of a decade ago. Primefac (talk) 17:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - I agree. A few editors of a few FAs don't agree, and they revert a new set of people each year who are used to infoboxes and never heard of a conflict, - I was one of those in 2012 ;) - Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:03, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

As it should be. That sounds like a delightful day. Primefac (talk) 11:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:14, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Very interesting! Primefac (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:03, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:The Penn Medicine BioBank

Earwig showed 94.7% copyright violation on Draft:The Penn Medicine BioBank copied from https://pmbb.med.upenn.edu/publications.php Theroadislong (talk) 22:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, and? I removed that text and a few other paragraphs and now the highest percent match is 7%, matching little more than a phrase. As I said in the decline, it reads like the rest is copied from somewhere, I just don't know where. Primefac (talk) 22:25, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Much of it seems to be a close paraphrasing of https://pmbb.med.upenn.edu/research.php - and the headings in the draft are copied verbatim, particularly the headings in question format, such as "Can genes help calculate your cancer risk?". ~Anachronist (talk) 22:33, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't notice you had removed text. Theroadislong (talk) 22:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

No worries, and apologies for the tone... that's what happens when I edit after bed time! Primefac (talk) 12:54, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, and I don't necessarily disagree with rejection of the draft until it gets rewritten. Primefac (talk) 12:54, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

This is a case of WP:TNT. Typical crap masquerading as notability, with an overwhelming number of citations that have nothing at all to do with the subject. It's like someone told an AI "paraphrase this page and find sources". The org likely is notable, but that draft certainly doesn't demonstrate it. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:16, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough, once I get home I'll nuke it. Primefac (talk) 19:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

User:BunnysBot

Hi Primefac -- Could you have another look at this one, please. It seems to be creating blank pages in error as well as doing a great many cosmetic edits of little or no obvious value. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 16:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on the message you left on their talk page. Primefac (talk) 17:27, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Noting that I have fixed the issue of page creations. I plant to some supervised runs for the cosmetic issue. Sorry again! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. Primefac (talk) 13:00, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac I have a quick question. Do Template Redirects Gen fixes come under cosmetic or not. WP:Redirect#Template redirects does not clearly state if it is needed or just helpful. Simply stating, does this come under cosmetic or not. AWB did not automatically skip it, despite a cosmetic only skip option being enabled, hence the confusion. Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:10, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, changing a template redirect is considered cosmetic, so that diff would be considered to be one. Primefac (talk) 13:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I see. Will try to prevent such edits coming forward. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Bunnypranav, the bot's four most recent edits (, , , and ), made two hours after the above response, appear to be cosmetic. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

~~Bunnypranav, could you please indicate which CW errors were supposed to be fixed in those four edits? Primefac (talk) 20:04, 12 December 2024 (UTC)~~ I didn't think to look at the timestamps, striking comment/question. Primefac (talk) 12:27, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jonesey95 The edits were made on the 11th, before I found this malfunction. Above replies of mine were on the 12th. The bot has not edited a mainspace page at all on the 12th. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 01:40, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

My mistake; I read the date wrong. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

No consensous on Mr. Stradivarius/sandbox2

I don't see how a "No consensus" result was in that discussion. 2vs1 for deletion should at least resulted in a relisting. Gonnym (talk) 19:13, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I took all three discussions into consideration, given they were all making essentially the same argument with the same replies. Primefac (talk) 19:16, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, one editor chose not to comment on this one, while they did on the other two. Seeing as how this is an unused sandbox that the author themselves didn't even comment, while in the other two, the author did, it seems their choice not to keep this one, was not by mistake. Gonnym (talk) 19:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

A word of thanks

... for dealing with my numerous though very similar OS requests at all hours! Jay Cubby 17:55, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy Holidays to you and yours

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 17:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Aww, thanks! I'll have the HoF stuff sorted hopefully this week. Primefac (talk) 17:10, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Request for Comment on Talk Discussion

Hello :-)

May I respectfully request your comment/opinion on this Talk discussion? I would ask you directly, here, but I figured I should place it in a more public space should someone else have the same question as me. Thank you :-) MWFwiki (talk) 23:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Situational question

Have a question about a situation I've run across and would like guidance. Not sure if its a "Take to AN for clarification from two accounts, report both users for possible meat or possible noncontributing behavior, or an ignore it for odd but not actionable behavior at this time" situation.

Person A created their account in November, made 6 edits to their userpage, and has since made 388 edits to Person B's sandbox. Person B (created Dec 2022) is still actively editing, made 20 or so edits to mainspace a year or two ago, but has made 5900+ edits to their own sandbox. When I asked Person A last month if there was any connection between the two accounts or that was also their account, I received no response. I have not asked Person B anything since they haven't done anything questionable other than the predominate sandbox editing.

Your, or any TPS thoughts on this situation? Thanks, happy holidays! Zinnober9 (talk) 18:02, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

My immediate thoughts are that it is/was two students working on a school project. I would probably ask B what their intentions are, especially if they're not actually editing other than their userspace. Primefac (talk) 18:53, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, their sandbox content didn't give me the impression of student project since it was a Big Brother reality show type of page in Spanish with contestant details and tables with elimination status by week. I've run into a fair number of student assignments here and I can typically identify those by their language, focus, and the not infrequent "In Conclusion" section. I'll ask Person B to clarify their intent and connection to Person A and see if I get any response. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 21:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Declined history merge of Chris Koclanes/Draft:Chris Koclanes

Hello Primefac, I noticed you declined the history merge, but now that lists me as the page creator when the creation should rightfully be attributed to @Assadzadeh. I draftified the article as it was an unreferenced BLP and then requested the cross-namespace redirect be deleted. Is there any way to fix this? WP:IAR? Svampesky (talk) 20:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

My talk page reverts

Hi! You have called me out for reverting edits on pages like Talk:Legality of conversion therapy. Although that one looks benign, it's part of a pattern of disruptive editing by 2603:7000:B500:5D4:0:0:0:0/64 which led to them being blocked for three months. Their use of talk pages does not line up well with WP:TALK. For example, see Talk:List_of_countries_by_age_at_first_marriage#Large_table_on_talk_page. Currently they are evading their three month block by using a mobile address range: 2600:1017:B800:0:0:0:0:0/40. I can stop reverting borderline talk page edits, but I thought you might like some of the context. Ttwaring (talk) 14:38, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Okay, if you are reverting socking/block evasion, please make sure to use that in your edit summary; otherwise, it looks like you are simply removing talk page sections that might not be perfectly formatted. Thank you for the explanation. Primefac (talk) 14:41, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks for the very quick reply! Ttwaring (talk) 14:48, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
