AE question

Hi, I'm not to familiar with the Pakistan/India arbitration regime. Am I correct that there is no general 1RR restriction there? Reply here is ok. Thanks. Zero 11:01, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

That's correct, it's just normal discretionary sanctions (but which have been enforced pretty vigorously in the past). From memory only Israel/Pakistan has a general 1RR at the moment. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:20, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Israel/Palestine? OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 11:41, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry Arab-Israeli. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:27, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

My experience is that the 1RR was a great thing for the Arab-Israeli section. It doesn't stop edit-warring, but it makes people pause before reverting again. It also helps to get rid of fly-by-night political activists. I suspect that a similar restriction on the Pakistan/India area would be good there too, though it ought to be discussed more widely first. How would you feel about imposing it now on a few articles, such as the BJP article? Zero 05:18, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

It's a good idea in principle, but I don't think they'd be consensus (not that that's technically needed) for imposing it generally across the whole topic. That said it can be really helpful if placed on a case by case basis.

I'm not sure it would have too much effect on Bharatiya Janata Party. Editors there seems to have gone back to discussing. Added to that the conflicts seems to be drawn out so 1RR wouldn't be too effective.

What do you think? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:29, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

In my opinion it will be useful. Vanamonde always revert first and then discusses. If Calypso or someone adds something he doesn't like, it is reverted (multiple times) and the other is forced to go to talk page, and if something he adds is removed it is placed repeatedly and again the other person is forced to go to talk page. 1RR will restrict his ownership. --AmritasyaPutra 04:01, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

AP would like to make it seem like I'm the only one who reverts frequently, when I have never been blocked for edit-warring in the topic area, and he has, twice. I'm also fairly certain that this is not the venue for discussing my behavior, unless of course Callanecc wants to. Vanamonde93 (talk) 04:21, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

No, this is not the place, if evidence is asked I can easily give more than three cases of you reverting more than three times. You get away because it is usually a new editor and doesn't even know the rules. You had baited me on both occasions along with your buddy, I was inexperienced. You have been blocked for edit war too. Anyway think this: if that's not your nature then you have nothing to worry if 1RR is imposed, right? --AmritasyaPutra 06:11, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi 112.215.64.223, I'd rather not undelete it at this stage. Instead could you please submit a WP:Deletion review. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

You've got mail!

Violation?

Greetings Callanecc. Worm is not online for nearly 5 days. Thus I would like to know from you if the creation of this SPI was any violation of my restriction. Although I don't consider it as violation because I hadn't referred to the particular article anywhere, and only named the editors who have contributed there. If I am correct, can I also refer to this filing over there? Thank you. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 00:20, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

OccultZone, this being the third time you've tried to find a way to connect these accounts, it appears that you're just throwing things at the wall, hoping for something to stick. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 00:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Let me make this crystal clear, you need to step away from these editors! If you continue accusing them of sockpuppetry it is likely to be consider harassment. You need to step away from this topic area and from these editors (and those you think are related to them) right now. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:16, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

I think I would rather wait for him, or just make an appeal. Thanks anyway. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 06:19, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

No I'm saying stop or you're risking being blocked for harassment. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:25, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry I will be back here and do nothing until you allow. That would be fine? OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 06:31, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

No, just drop it completely. If there is something to be found, let someone else deal with it and don't get involved. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:03, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

I have to agree with Callanecc, and it occurs to me, OccultZone, that I did warn you that further accusations of sockpuppetry against these users would be considered to be personal attacks. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

I assure both of you, that I have taken everything in account that has been said above. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 12:49, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Igor Radusinovic

Hi Callanecc, I want to ask you kindly to restore the article Igor Radusinovic since now he have played in Indonesia Super League, thus making him notable. Source here. Cheers! MbahGondrong (talk) 00:08, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi MbahGondrong, I'd rather not undelete myself it at this stage. Instead could you please submit a WP:Deletion review. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:25, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I have made a WP:UNDELETE instead, here. MbahGondrong (talk) 00:38, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Re: Page protection

Can you please impose semi-protection on Little India (location)? You had blocked Basdrhnrnz who was the biggest contributor of this article in terms of adding more bytes to it. Now he seems to be restoring to his version through IPs. Content is copyvio, and these edits are disruptive at best. I had already requested this at RFPP, but they really don't understand.

AE Archiving

Callannecc, the bot keeps archiving the AE section I opened. I've reverted it twice; any more, and I'm beginning to look incredibly pushy. Even if that thing is to be closed no action, could you please formally close it, so that I know I can move on? Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 20:31, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Aaron Schock

Lower to pending changes? This person already resigned as a district representative. Also, people might cool down for a while. --George Ho (talk) 05:22, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

It's still pretty controversial as far as I can tell so I'd rather leave it semi protected for now at least. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:55, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

20 March?

You mean 20 March 2016 or 20 April of this year? OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 10:29, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
