For you
El C, contrary to your edit summary- I noticed you were gone, and missed seeing you on recent changes. You are one of my favourite editors. This is for you. Regards, dvdrw 04:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yay! Many chipthanks for the kind words. Greatly appreciated. Best, El_C 06:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Well I noticed and missed you! (Official circular here). Novickas (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC) Thought of you while uploading this picture ... for all of your work. Novickas (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Many thanks! El_C 11:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sort of in a hole and am having difficulties submerging. Speaking of holes/that chippie, I got to do some visiting in its burro recently...
- You look really good in your purple hat! Bishonen | talk 00:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC).
- Free hat! Today, while cheekadeepetting, this lady who saw us from a far, came over and said: "Can I tell you something...? You're an angel of God."(!) To which I of course replied: "All hail Atheismo!" I took an especially neat cheekadeepetting photograph today: it remained visible between my thumb and index as it flew away, giving the illusion it was bee-sized! What an unexpected, and sweet, effect! El_C 02:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Wow, Capitano, where do you get a large enough sweater for a person with that hand? Bishonen | talk 20:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC).
- And then there's Skunky! El_C 14:00, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Oooo. Purdy!

Chippies
El C, I've been meaning to ask for ages. What is the link between revolutionary socialism and chimpunks? Did I miss that bit in Animal Farm? Is it something to do with resting the means of damn making from beavers? --Joopercoopers (talk) 11:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- No link; but are you referring to Groundhog? (see left) There is a Groundhog-Chippie connection, which I was trying to further cultivate (see right). El_C 11:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Rev-dels
Just for information at the moment: are you able to do revision deletions? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 19:47, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- Affirmative. El_C 20:46, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. There are a couple of admins I usually contact when I see something that needs to deleted, but unfortunately they let real life interfere with their admin duties. You are online a lot at the same times I am, so it's good to have another person to contact if needed. I generally only ask personally if it's both serious and urgent. - BilCat (talk) 02:29, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, by all means. If I'm around, please don't hesitate. El_C 02:30, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks very much. I realize.my wording above presumes you'd be willing, and that I didn't actually ask, so thanks. :) - BilCat (talk) 04:01, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

I can live with your highly arbitrary closing summary of the RfC on the Talk page, so I do not want to persuade you to change it. However, you closed other on-going debates as well. Could you open the other debates? Thank you. Borsoka (talk) 05:57, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

note re item
Hi. I have just sent you an email. you are welcome to contact me any time to discuss. I appreciate your help. also, thanks for all your valuable help and insight earlier today. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 05:18, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sm8900: you're welcome. Thanks, it's nice to be appreciated. I agree that Moxy could have used a softer touch. Not to mention that there is a certain irony when writing:
At this point really questioning the WP:Competency level of this editor..
(i.e. WP:Competency is a redlink!). But I actually do agree with them that your frequent use of section breaks can be a bit much — especially when it involves indenting or outdenting their comments. Anyway, I hope you two can work it out amicably. If I can help with that, please let me know. Finally, as an aside, why do you continue to refrain from capitalizing words normally at the beginning of sentences? It makes it difficult for someone like me, for whom English is a second language, to read. In any case, good luck! El_C 05:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)- I refrain from capitalizing sentences because that is my preference. And please do not change the subject. I am asking for your help with comments pertaining to me personally. --Sm8900 (talk) 05:58, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sm8900: this is my talk page, but even if it wasn't, I am permitted to add any "aside" as I see fit to comments I submit! Anyway, as I explained to you earlier today, "varying degrees of competences are required" on Misplaced Pages. That is not a personal comment, but an evaluation of one's abilities (or lack thereof) with the manner in which they edit Misplaced Pages. Moxy linking (or mislinking) to that explanatory supplement is not a personal attack, if that is what you're driving at. El_C 06:08, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- yes, assisting other editors with competence, or skills, is fine. however, publicly labeling a specific editor as lacking in "competence," or labeling them publicly in any manner, is a personal comment, from any perspective.
- and I didn't intend to imply that you cannot discuss anything you want on your own talk page. of course you can. the phrase "please don't change the subject" was not meant as a rebuke, merely as a plea to focus upon this specific query. I do appreciate your help. thanks.--Sm8900 (talk) 06:15, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sm8900: No, I disagree. It is not a personal comment. It has little if anything to do with one's personality. It has to do with a learning curve. It is an assessment of how skillful one is in editing Misplaced Pages successfully according to its policies and guidelines and style expectations. And please capitalize your sentences normally — again, your comments are difficult for me to read with ease. El_C 06:24, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sm8900: I see you've added to your comment after my last edit conflict, so let me respond to the additional part. Almost everything on Misplaced Pages is done publicly. If an editor is frustrated with one's competency, say, related to creating frequent section breaks, when they express that frustration, it is of course made public. But that does not mean there is anything untoward about that. El_C 06:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- El_C, I do appreciate your replies to me, your kind and patient help, and your insights here. just to reply to this topic, here is a quote from WP:Harassment: "Harassment can include actions calculated to be noticed by the target and clearly suggestive of targeting them, where no direct communication takes place." I think that is relevant to this specific item. I appreciate your help.
- by the way, I do consider this matter to be fully closed and resolved now. I am not requesting any further action, and I don't feel that any further action is needed. I just wanted to note that one detail here briefly, just for information and in case you want to comment. I do appreciate your help. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 15:28, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sm8900: in this context, that may count as casting an aspersion against Moxy, which I would advise you to refrain from in the future. El_C 15:31, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- sorry, but with respect, I disagree. that was not meant as an aspersion against Moxy in any way; I apologize if it seemed like that's what it was. you already know my specific concerns; the comment above did not expand them or add to them in any way. in my opinion, I feel that it is not "casting aspersions" to note specific data from wikipedia, after one has already raised a specific concern. I was not adding to my concern, merely noting some objective information that relates to this topic in general. I'm glad to hear your views on this, and I'm glad to discuss this here. I appreciate your helpful reply. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 15:36, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- You cannot quote passages from the Harassment policy, say that it "is relevant to this specific item," and yet still claim it unconnected to the user to whom you are in dispute here. Sorry, but that just not a reasonable premise. El_C 15:40, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- I am expressing my concerns to you. instead of replying to them or discussing them, you are telling me that merely mentioning them those is something that are going to warn me not to do? is that correct? I think that I don't understand that part, so perhaps you could clarify. Sm8900 (talk) 23:20, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
erely mentioning them those is something that are going to warn me not to do?
— I'm not sure I follow. But you cannot imply that someone is engaged in harassment without evidence, anywhere on Misplaced Pages, where again, public is public. El_C 02:59, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

What is going on
I don't know what's up with the user Markaz Isthifah but he's making a mess. I've twice reverted edits where he altered the signature on my talk page notices to him.. he's also made a garbage category, altered other talk page notices, and then pasting promo crap in sandboxes. It looks like a language barrier, WP:CIR issue or both. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- And it looks like you blocked him by the time I finished this message. Well done - thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I've indeffed them. They are clearly unwilling or unable to communicate at this time. El_C 16:19, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
And I'm willing to bet that it was a sock account of Markaz Isthifah Sunniya, registered a few days ago.My mistake, that account is on other Wikimedia projects but not en-wiki. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:00, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
I think I fixed my WP:AE appeal link
I can't ping you there, because of the absence of a signed section. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:14, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- Copy that. You are free to respond to comments, though, within reason. El_C 02:23, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Philippines GINI unrevert
Hi. Here, I've undone your recent revert re the 2015 GINI figure for the Philippines in the article on that country. As mentioned in my edit summary for that undo, there is a conflict between this figure and the figure used for ranking which comes from the unreliable List of countries by income equality article, and the supporting source cited in that other article currently throws a 404 error. I have not considered what, if anything, to do about that conflict or looked into that 404 error. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 08:17, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for following up, Wtmitchell. That's my bad — I've already apologized to the original editor for my mistake. I very much appreciate your diligence. Regards, El_C 08:20, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Harassment
Could you please tell M.k.m2003 to leave me alone as well? He literally just sent me a mail written in Persian, even though he has been told on several occasions that I don't understand the script. Here's what he wrote, seemingly nothing bad with a quick Google translate. He has been after me this whole day, and seriously lacks WP:COMPETENCE.HistoryofIran (talk) 18:55, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll have another word with him. El_C 18:56, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi I thought this user is fluent in Persian But he doesn't want to talk, All that I sent him:Apology-Thanks-Sympathy-Avoid future tensions And I didn't say anything bad, This email should not be made public, Please hide it. Thank you M.k.m2003 (talk) 19:45, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
This word to thank:Harassment M.k.m2003 (talk) 19:46, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Google translation will change my mind, If you think this is an insult you can get help from fluent Persian users, All my words are kindly spoken, Without anything offensive M.k.m2003 (talk) 20:19, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, M.k.m2003 — private content removed and revdeleted. El_C 20:50, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
- Is there a secret ignore button on Misplaced Pages that I haven't been told about? Could really use it atm. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:43, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Indeed, they keep saying that they are withdrawing from the discussion, but yet they keep the conflict going somehow. El_C 22:50, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
This user also offends reputable sources, He shamelessly made my email public Although it has been said kindly. What is this template? (زبان مادری این کاربر فارسی است= The native language of this user is Farsi. Yes I was misled by this pattern, He is not Iranian. Tell her to change her user page Because Iranian knows Persian very well M.k.m2003 (talk) 23:19, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean
offends reputable sources
, but I suggest you two try to avoid one another in the immediate future. El_C 23:23, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- I sent an email about this Of course with kindness But he declared war by declaring it public, How many times do I have to go back? He is aggressive M.k.m2003 (talk) 23:27, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Please review WP:INDENT. Anyway, granted, mistakes were made on both of your parts, but you keep saying that you're withdrawing from the discussion, yet you keep returning to it, thereby perpetuating the conflict. That is a problem. El_C 23:30, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- @M.k.m2003: Could you stop thanking me for my edits as well? Just completely leave me alone, it's not that hard. I'm getting rather tired of getting constantly pinged by you, thanks. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:43, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) HistoryofIran, FYI, Preferences → Notifications has a "muted users" section where you can list users from whom you do not want to receive notifications. – Levivich 03:14, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Levivich: I'm not a troll And I was not going to harass But I'm sorry. HistoryofIran My thanks were just a sign of friendship And I certainly won't face you anymore Rest assured. M.k.m2003 (talk) 09:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi M.k.m2003, just be clear, I didn't say or mean to imply that you were a troll; I don't know anything at all about this dispute. I just wanted to mention that if anyone doesn't want to receive notifications from anyone else, the software has a "mute" function in the preferences. That's all. – Levivich 17:08, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Page Protection Request
Hello, I would like to mention these pages Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati, Vishakapatnam and Kurnool to be protected for now. As there is lot of vandalism going on. I request you to please kindly handle this issue as soon as possible. Lakshmisreekanth (talk) 13:38, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've already protected Andhra Pradesh earlier today. I'll have a look at the rest momentarily. El_C 13:39, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
sock puppet
Hey. I see that you blocked CounterBritishPropoganda for disruptive editing. I think he's very likely a sock of Missileinfo who was blocked for similar POV edits. A quick look at the usernames of his other sock accounts would tell you he's the same user. Regards. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 17:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Thanks for letting me know. El_C 17:29, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Reliability of a source
Dear El C, since you are familiar with the ongoing discussion on Qasem Soleimani, I was wondering if you would mind telling me if I did right in this edit. Is WP:RSN the correct place to raise the issue? If yes, is the format I used correct? It would be much appreciated if you move/edit it yourself if necessary. Thanks in advance. Ms96 (talk) 09:18, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- I am not actually familiar with the ongoing discussion (which one?) — yes, RSN is a fine resource to raise issues of source reliability.
Feel free to start a request about this there (you don't need me for that), butI see that you already started a request there, so my advise is to be especially concise. Good luck. El_C 10:19, 21 January 2020 (UTC)- Dear El C, it was just archived by bot, could you please take it back? MS 会話 06:41, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- Also, is there any guideline on applying strikethrough on the comments of a sock ? The page looks pretty messy now. MS 会話 07:50, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Please review this close
G'day El C
I'm requesting you review this RM close.
I can't even see consensus to move, let alone a snow close.
I suspect that the eventual result of this process will in any case be a new naming convention. If this RM result stands, it's a precedent for many other corporate renames. IMO it would only be a valid snow close if we already had that consensus.
And I'm not against that, but I don't think we're there yet. I could be wrong. Andrewa (talk) 01:58, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Noted and replied on that page. El_C 03:59, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
Typhoon Tip
Can you please Semi-Protect this article for a while? It has recently suffered from a spate of anon vandalism, and all of the IP edits dating back to October have been only vandalism. It's really starting to show in the history logs. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 18:47, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
Re: "We must respect the historical sources" mantra
You forgot to add to your close, "It has been strongly suggested you find different pages to edit so you won't be in conflict with each other". That solution would be less painful for all of us. ;-) -- llywrch (talk) 22:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- The problem is that they both edit similar pages, so what do you do? (Short of opting to live in shoe!) El_C 22:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- It would be nice. But it also would be nice if someone explained to Mikola22 that edit warring is not good, even in the case of "we must respect the sources."--Nicoljaus (talk) 22:53, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Almost 6 million articles on Misplaced Pages, & you can't find another one that's interesting to you to edit? -- llywrch (talk) 17:30, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
User:Ms96
Hi, so after the page got unprotected this editor (Ms96) again re-added the disputed text (edited version) even after I told him that there is a RfC and that he cant be bold, and add even an edited version of the disputed text without discussing or proposing it first in the talk page. I don't want the article to be fully protected again. Could be extended confirmed protected because a lot of editors are creating accounts and making disruptive edits like Ayatollah mahdi and this editor in that article. I have sent a notification to Ms96 about the sanctions in Iranian politics related articles.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 20:32, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Now that I was pinged, I say here. Dear El C, please please please read the whole discussion under "lack of neutrality" (as well as "Iranian propaganda Heading") and also "RfC about inclusion of Iranian propaganda section" (maybe you would also be interested in "Polls published by Center for International Security Studies (CISSM) University of Maryland School of Public Policy and Iran Poll" in WP:RSN). I'm doing my best, but this endless disruption is tearing me apart. Ms96 (talk) 20:50, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- While the discussion takes its course, the status quo ante should remain in place, per WP:ONUS. El_C 22:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- This is a different issue (not about Ms96) but there is an editor who started a RfC in that article which was completely not neutral and not very clear as I explained here. I don't know what to do. I am just complaining and the editor is not responding. I want to make a new neutral RfC but I don't know how. I think the current RfC should be closed but I am involved in that discussion so I am not very trusted among editors there. If an admin closed the discussion, it would be great, but again, I don't know where to request or how to request closing that RfC.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 22:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Already done. I have just clarified the RfC question a few minutes ago. The RfC should not have editorialized and been phrased in such a vague way, but it wasn't as if editors had too hard of a time following what it was, ultimately, asking. I don't think the RfC preferences expressed thus far need to be repeated in a new RfC, however. El_C 22:46, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- We were debating about having a dedicated section about "Iranian propaganda" in that biographical article. You said it is about a paragraph but thats not true. Also editors have already voted in that discussion. I think a new RfC should be made and it was very easy to make a neutral RfC but judging from that editor past in Misplaced Pages I am not surprised.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 22:50, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

- We were debating about having a dedicated section about "Iranian propaganda" in that biographical article. You said it is about a paragraph but thats not true. Also editors have already voted in that discussion. I think a new RfC should be made and it was very easy to make a neutral RfC but judging from that editor past in Misplaced Pages I am not surprised.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 22:50, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Already done. I have just clarified the RfC question a few minutes ago. The RfC should not have editorialized and been phrased in such a vague way, but it wasn't as if editors had too hard of a time following what it was, ultimately, asking. I don't think the RfC preferences expressed thus far need to be repeated in a new RfC, however. El_C 22:46, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- This is a different issue (not about Ms96) but there is an editor who started a RfC in that article which was completely not neutral and not very clear as I explained here. I don't know what to do. I am just complaining and the editor is not responding. I want to make a new neutral RfC but I don't know how. I think the current RfC should be closed but I am involved in that discussion so I am not very trusted among editors there. If an admin closed the discussion, it would be great, but again, I don't know where to request or how to request closing that RfC.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 22:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- While the discussion takes its course, the status quo ante should remain in place, per WP:ONUS. El_C 22:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Please don't accuse users of lying —that is an aspersion that fails to assume good faith (maybe it was an oversight, why assume "lies"?)— and please also don't assume that anyone could be "playing with mentality," either. The RfC's question editorialized and was too vague, to the point that I conflated the dispute here (top of the section) with it, which is my bad. Anyway, I opened the question to discussion on the article talk page, in any case. There is no need to continue to split the discussion over here, on my talk page. El_C 23:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Protection of Isabel dos Santos
Hi El C. I see that you protected Isabel dos Santos last year; I just logged a request for protection again. I see that you have just made edits, so in the hope that you are still logged, could you please take a look? Thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:22, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Anything wrong?
Hey, can I ask a question? What's wrong with me thinking Stefka Bulgaria's tendentious editing is being ignored? Please look, in my recent report he kept ignoring our discussions in October 2019. He pretended as if we had no discussion on that. Something is wrong here and he is kindly allowed to go with no warning, the least thing he deserved. --Mhhossein 08:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- Mhhossein apparently didn't have time to reply to a TP discussion that went answered for 9 days, but seems to have plenty of time to advocate for a warning or sanction against me. What would be helpful is more focus on discussing the actual content of the article, and less time filing reports against other editors who have (unlike the OP) actually substantiated their edits on the article's TP. Bless. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 09:36, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- Since your response was given back in back in October 2019. --Mhhossein 19:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
I would rather avoid splitting the discussion and, in general, not entertain MEK spillovers onto my talk page — that should be reserved only for the most urgent cases. I've already addressed some of these concerns on the article talk page, where I have indeed cautioned and instructed them on how to move forward. Feel free to respond there, especially to my proposal regarding what duration there ought to be for repeating exhausted topics. El_C 20:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Awful protection
over Gurbaksh Chahal. You have (literally) got 5 editors with 20,000+ edit counts deeming the opposing editor as an UPE-SPA. He managed to game ECP by mass-firing IABot and now, you have sysop-protected. ∯WBG 12:43, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

2020 Island Express Sikorsky S-76B crash
If you want to keep the full protection that is fine, but will prevent further expansion of technical details involving the crash when such information is released. Please do restore the article with full protection if that is the case. There is no discussion stating the crash is not notable, therefore we should have both unless a discussion is opened and closed in favor of merging the two. Valoem 23:41, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't make the decision. The protecting admin did. I merely added the template for the bot. El_C 23:43, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
protection of Sikorsky S-76 seems excessive
Full protection of Sikorsky S-76 seems excessive after reverts by one quickly blocked user. Most of the edits today seem reasonable. Shouldn't we just block the user? Nfitz (talk) 02:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Already done. There was more than one user, it seemed, but regardless, I think you're right. I've gone ahead and reduced the full portection to semi. El_C 02:13, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- I suppose I'm dreaming, but I think EC protection on all the articles involved here makes sense. There are so many clueless editors on these talk pages makes it next to impossible to get anything done. Someone mentioned a video on Talk:Death of Kobe Bryant of unclear copyright. I explained that we couldn't possibly use it unless copyright were addressed. I also stated I'd continue to oppose on the basis of good taste. I get a reply "What is this good taste you speak of?" Sorry...why should an experienced editor have to deal with crap like that? Articles like these need people who understand policies to shepherd them. Eliminating the clueless would greatly simplify that. Can't the DS for BLP be used to justify that? New editors cannot possibly understand the nuances of BLP at the level needed. Also, many of the editors are from our sports articles. There is a considerable amount of difference in the levels of sourcing required for a technical article on an aircraft disaster than for a general bio of a sports figure...not that there should be, but there is. I suppose this is a pipedream. John from Idegon (talk) 05:42, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Turkmens
So you locked the page for Turkmens. So what are you suppose to do with somebody who doesn't want to engage in talk page ? Times and times again I told him to discuss since September 2019. He doesn't allow anyone to edit Y-DNA genetic evidence of Turkmen. Who's right and who's wrong ? Am I suppose to just let him do what he wants when there's no mod/admin editor interfering ?

- The page has only been protected for less than 2 days. Please use dispute resolution and accompanying requests to get more outside input into the dispute. El_C 17:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- DerekHistorian, most of your article edits are reverts of Hunan201p's edits. Even after you received a page block two days ago! Please follow El C's advice and go to dispute resolution. You really need the involvement of other editors in this ongoing dispute or you are heading towards a longer block. Liz 17:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Excessive move protection
Hi, I feel that it would make more sense if the move protection you applied to this article was lowered to extended-confirmed level, especially since a majority of users agree that said article's current title does not comply with convention. ToThAc (talk) 00:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- I would rather the move request process supersede bold moves, actually. El_C 00:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

The discussion was just archived
Dear El C, the discussion was just archived, I was wondering if you'd mind taking it back. Thanks in advance.
Is there a guideline on wiping out all edits by a sock and applying strikethrough on all their comments ? For instance see this MS 会話 10:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, but per this, I am taking a break from any and all SharabSalam-related items — which, as I mention elsewhere, does not however precludes me from acting as an uninvolved admin in regards to them. El_C 13:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

EPR paradox
El Che, can you help with the EPR paradox page? The IP user that was edit warring last time simply waited for the full protection to expire, and did exactly the same edit again. I'd undo the edit myself, but then it would be me edit warring. Tercer (talk) 10:42, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yet you have failed to engage the article talk, as well — why is that? Anyway, I semiprotected the page for 2 months. Perhaps that would motivate the IP to engage on the article talk page. In which case, I would expect you to participate, also. Thanks and good luck. El_C 13:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you
Man thank you very much for locking Azerbaijan page. Unfortunately you have locked it with wrong revision. It is wrong to have "In the aftermath of the Russo-Persian Wars all of what is today Azerbaijan was ceded from Persia to the Russian Empire" statement under country profile as it has nothing to do with it, also this fact covered under Contemporary History section of same article.
There were two IPs continuously changing it. I gave them multiple warnings but they refused to discuss it under TALK tab.
Could you please also do same to below article as same IPs keep changing it without proper justification.

Mirhasanov (talk) 13:55, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- But you did not discuss it on the article talk page, either — until now, now that the article has been protected. As for the wrong version, that is something heard so often when pages are protected it has sort of become a running gag, I'm sorry to say. Anyway, if the IP fails to engage on the article talk page for, say, a few days, I will revert to the other version. Good luck. El_C 14:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

AE closure
Hey,
Yesterday you've closed an AE because of apparent "socking". I'm not disputing the closure, but I am concerned that the subject of the complaint was allowed to launch a nasty tirade against me, full of aspersions and PAs. I would appreciate it if you could review my comments there - in particular the first and last paragraphs, that deal with WP:CIVILITY and with VM's obnoxious comments - and tell me what you think. François Robere (talk) 12:37, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- I don't understand why you hitched your wagon to such a shoddy case, in the first place. What did you expect to have happened? I think you need to draft your own request, to admins at AE or to the Committee itself, once and for all. I'm not inclined to examine any disparate components of your dispute with VM all on my own, though I might (might) do it alongside a quorum of admins if there is a proper request submitted. And I would say the same thing to him. This is too complicated and entrenched of a dispute for one admin to attend to on their own. A cogent, coherent and concise account that is added in the context of a legitimate request would be necessary, if either of you were serious about addressing your long-running dispute head-on. El_C 13:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- I regret that's how it's perceived; for me it was simply a matter of commenting on an editor who I know all too well. As I stated elsewhere, this sort of whodunit politics is not something I favor, though it obviously dictates much of the goings on at ANI and AE. That said, I have a major problem with the fact that an editor is allowed to insinuate that another has had a connection with actual criminal activities, and admins don't rein him in immediately because the case was opened inappropriately. VM's comments were completely gratuitous - they had nothing to do with the case, and there's no reason admins wouldn't examine them as-is. Oh, and bringing it up separately? You know full well there's no chance in hell something like this, argued in what some editors call "the peanut gallery", would be "cogent" and "concise" - it would be a mud bath. Speaking of a "chilling effect"... François Robere (talk) 15:15, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Your end of a legitimate request is what you make of it — that I know full well. Anyway, if there are matters that are criminal in nature or insinuate that — contact the Foundation or the Arbitration Committee directly. Don't ask a single admin to take that on by themselves. That is not a fair proposition. El_C 17:29, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't say there was something criminal going on, I said VM insinuated that without proof. I shouldn't need to contact the WMF to deal with something like this when there are three perfectly good admins on that thread. François Robere (talk) 16:46, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

- "VM's comments were completely gratuitous - they had nothing to do with the case" - this is completely false. A likely sock puppet of an indefinitely banned user filed an AE against me. You supported that account in edit warring on the article. You supported that account on the talk page. When I pointed out that it was a likely sock puppet you went after me and accused me of incivility. You then posted taunts to my talk page, despite me having asked you previously not to post to my talk page. You have supported sock puppets of the same user in the past on many occasions on other articles. You had "cooperated" with the indefinitely banned user and he was your close "wiki friend", prior to their indef ban on over 40 articles and in more than a hundred discussions. This came up during the ArbCom case.
- You, and only you, MADE A CHOICE. To show up at the WP:AE report and comment there, agitating for a sanction against me. You made your comment about me at 18:25, 30 January 2020. I did not even mention you prior to that, with my response to you - and the first mention of you - being made at 19:23, 30 January 2020, about an hour after your comments in support of the likely sock puppet. Had you NOT CHOSEN to come there and support the sock puppet, I would not have said anything about you. But once you did, your obvious support for the various Icewhiz related sock puppet accounts over the past three months became VERY pertinent.
- The fact that this support reflects badly on you is not my fault. These are YOUR actions and YOUR choices.
- There's a very very very easy way for YOU to solve this problem. Stop supporting all the Icewhiz related socks that pop up in this topic area. To show good faith, you can even revert these YOURSELF (they're easy to spot, the POV is always the same), per WP:DENY and WP:BANREVERT. If you think these socks raise pertinent issues then 1) revert them yourself first, 2) don't revert others when they revert them and then 3) bring up the issue on the talk page in good faith as in "ok, I know this is another sock puppet but in this instance they make a good point, what do other editors think?" (if they actually do). If you took that approach then perhaps there'd be some progress here. As it is, you're just facilitating the continuation of the WP:BATTLEGROUND that Icewhiz created and that led to the ArbCom case in the first place. Volunteer Marek 23:37, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oh and like I said at the WP:AE. As soon as one sock gets banned or called out (and stops editing)
another onetwo more immediately pops up . Volunteer Marek 23:43, 1 February 2020 (UTC)- Hail Hyda! PackMecEng (talk) 23:46, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Looking closer at the 2nd one, it's not Icewhiz himself, it's this guy. They got to be buddies on Reddit and Wikipediocracy. Volunteer Marek 23:58, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- By all means, Marek - if you're so sure of your case - bring it to AE. Explain to them how it was I who edit-warred, when it was you who made 16 edits on that article in two days in violation of a T-ban. Tell them how after I had the page protected and asked everyone to discuss, you couldn't help but launch another PA in my direction at an admin's page. Tell them of my "taunting" - in actuality just reminder of WP:CIVILITY - to which you replied with "How many times exactly have I have had to ask you NOT to fucking post on my talk page?????... Don't EVER post on this page again". When you finish that, do explain that there are several "sock-masters" in the TA, some of whom you support - without as much as a peep on my end, mind you; and that in many a case I did not restore anonymous edits or even support them. If you don't do that, it might look as disingenuous on your part as bringing up an article I've been editing for two years as an example of "canvassing", or claiming Icewhiz is the reason you dislike me, when you've been sending obnoxious comments my way since before he was around. Get all of that proper and we might as well skip WP:BATTLEGROUND, which is a whole discussion in and unto itself. François Robere (talk) 02:17, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Andy Ngo
El C, I wanted to ask your take on the comment Calton left on my talk page here ] in reply to my request here ]. Given the contentious nature of the Andy Ngo article I think accusations such as "whitewashing crusade" are particularly problematic. We don't have to agree but in cases where we have roughly equal numbers of editors on both sides of a proposed change I would want an experienced editor to go to the talk page rather than make bad faith accusations. Thanks Springee (talk) 02:58, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Springee, sorry, but I'm a bit burned out today and am not actually looking to immediately take on anything too intense. But AE/AN/ANI are at your disposal. El_C 03:13, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Springee: it's not "bad faith", it's long-term observation of your editing patterns. Hell, "bad faith" is probably a fair description you making that claim. --Calton | Talk 03:23, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Calton, yes, it is a bad faith accusation. You are claiming my actions are based on a wish to whitewash a subject rather than because I think the change makes for a better article. Furthermore, I hope you can see that such accusations, (for example your edit summary here ]), and repeated the same on my talk page ], creates needless hostility. Finally, regardless of your opinion regarding my motives, NOCON still applies. Springee (talk) 04:17, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Using Youtube videos as sources
User:Ahendra is using personal commentary videos on seemingly many articles. He generally uses non-RS sources, and doesn't seem to shy away from edit warring. His edits generally seem like pov-pushing, and he just reverted me here, lol. .
EDIT: Also, could you please do something with this user? He keeps spamming me, even though I answered him hours ago here (not the best answer, but I can't be bothered with the stuff he writes, he basically rejects sources that he doesn't agree with, and doesn't have the best English-speaking skills, and I'm really certainly not qualified to teach people stuff like that, yet no one answered him and he thought that meant he could have a free reign in altering the article).
He hasn't done a single constructive edit since his day one, heavily lacks WP:COMPETENCE and tries to push his POV on various articles in various ways, for example: --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- let me give my reason, the source which complained by HistoryofIran was non RS
- firstly he had title from legit academy:
1 tun abdul razak 2 Medina university
proof: https://id.wikipedia.org/Khalid_Basalamah
- secondly he had official crew which operated in youtube and has renewable backup source for his media which can be accounted for
- thirdly, he had backup from his lectures from legitimate Islamic academic organization that has been legally operate under the law of Indonesia/Government. the organization is

which always reverted by HistoryofIran, as i have said earlier Dr. Khalid Basalamah has grade title in Master of Arts and Lecturer from University of Medina and Tun Abdul Razak University in Malaysia in the field of Seerah(history of Islam) and let me put the pont that Dr Khalid activity were under the wing of legal organization of Islamic Academy study named Hidayatullah organization which legally operated under the law of Indonesian government,
which HistoryofIran reverted Ahendra (talk) 20:42, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- We use academic scholarly sources here on Misplaced Pages, not Youtube rants by clerics/preachers that tries to push a certain POV. That's kinda like using Joe Rogan's podcast as a source. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:47, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- It is not Youtube rant with certain POV especially if the 'preacher' has certified title in two academic title from legit universities. and more importantly the content is not just pushing some kind of POV, but it is Public lecture that discuss the matter in history, not just preaching like usual sermon
i can assure you with several Indonesian native speakers wikipedia contributors that Dr Khalid Basalamah is talking about biography which sourced from Arabic historians which mainly used in this article
and what is not scholarly for HistoryofIran if the source has legit title of Master of Arts in: 1 tun abdul razak 2 Medina university Ahendra (talk) 20:55, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, this is a lot. But, indeed, Ahendra, YouTube videos from non-notable sources should not be added to articles. El_C 21:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Curiosity
Sorry I am confused how you see my mention of "I have a life outside of wikipedia" as a Personal attack, but them saying to me "Go back to your torpor, see you again in 2024" is not, If you read through their previous edit reasons calling people "Pigs" and "Reverse morons" (although 13-14 years ago), So there are a set of rules for them and different rules for everyone else.
Their mention of "go back to your torpor" is basically stating go hibernate for another 4 years you lifeless loser (That is my interpretation) and as such I see it as a personal attack on me (Which is why I stated unlike some I have a life outside of wikipedia (I thought it was the other part that was the personal attack)).
If you see the full history of that conversation you may see this differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=I%27m_a_Celebrity...Get_Me_Out_of_Here!_(Australian_season_6)&action=history
And yes I did state "Possibly removed for OCD reasons" due to their insistence of repeatedly removing the teaser without a reason other than "show's over, no need for antiquated teaser" by 10 minutes. Then they put an edit on my talk page saying how rude, I only followed up politely also stating "feel free to remove my comment" until they said "go back to your torper" which is rude.
As I said to them and I am going to say to you feel free to remove this edit (I don't know if wikipedia has a form of private messaging so I do it this way). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bja1608 (talk • contribs) 05:39, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- No, I was not aware. But I think you two should give one another some space. An interaction between you two is clearly proving unproductive at this time. El_C 05:43, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- I do agree which is why I removed my comments and their reply from their talk page. I only tried to add the removed trailer which neither I nor the other person who kept the "I'm a celebrity page" up to date understood why it was removed (If you look at the talk page) and when we added back in they removed it immediately (As mentioned above was the reason for my mention of possibly OCD). When they put a message on my talk page saying how rude I only replied on their talk page (which under the circumstances I actually thought my first response was polite (I did however think their reply was rude contributing to my response)). I did not state that they are OCD only the insistance of removing the teaser seems like something someone with that would do. I believe I now know why looking at their profile page it has been vandalised so many times in the last 14 years (I was actually going to do so (but decided that would be extremely rude), and instead decided on a polite post in their talk page).Bja1608 (talk) 05:53, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the explanation, Bja1608. El_C 05:55, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Jaggi Vasudev
Hello,
Messaging for advise on how to proceed with Jaggi Vasudev. I had brought it up at BLP:N some days ago. That discussion hasn't been very productive in building consensus. I pointed out some of the issues with the page and another editor pointed out other stuff. But it hasn't exactly been a great discussion. Unfortunately, talk page conversations don't seem to be very productive with this page either. Someone suggested a revert to an older version. Since BLP guidelines are pretty strict and the page as it stood was out of line with those by a long shot (in my opinion), I reverted to that suggested version a little while ago.
While I don't believe the version I reverted to is great, I feel it is better (or less bad) than what was on earlier. My revert reads like a resume for sure, but it doesn't seem to suffer from weak sourcing and OR and many of the other issues listed in the BLP noticeboard. I'm willing to take a stab at "de-resume-ing" my revert. I feel it would be easier to arrive at a sensible article if I start with the version I reverted to (the resume), than the earlier version (which I listed in BLPN, and is more or less the same as the one you edited).
However, all changes are going into pending review mode for this page. So wanted to know if what I mentioned is the right course of action and how I should go about it. Thanks. Tamilmama (talk) 07:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Tamilmama . Yes, that indeed sounds like the correct course of action and you have my support in pursuing it. El_C 07:04, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ok. Thank you. Bit of a technical question. How do I handle the Pending Review stuff? Do I just make edits on my old revert (now 3-4 versions old) and keep going from there? All of it will probably pile up as pending review. Tamilmama (talk) 07:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- You know what? I'm not sure. But it should work fine once the revision is approved. I'll keep an eye, in any case. El_C 07:14, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

- It is obvious why certain editors are clamouring to revert back to a certain version that served as an advertisement page for the cult leader. That version had multiple issues and was tagged as such. The article cannot be reverted to a problematic version just because it is the favourite version of the fans. If you have problems with the content of the current version, feel free to raise the issues on the talk and follow WP:DR DBigXrayᗙ 07:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, I may have misunderstood the abovementioned proposal. If this is about reverting back to a sanitized version that lacks critical components — I am against that. El_C 07:14, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Not suggesting a sanitized version. My suggestion is to create an actual encyclopedia article, not a resume or a tar 'em in black version. Tamilmama (talk) 07:29, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, good. That's what I'm after, too. An article that is neither an attack nor a promotion. El_C 07:33, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- The way forward will be to propose a line or two in neutral tone with excellent sources on the talk page, get Consensus to get it added and then add it. Same for removing something that You don't like. DBigXrayᗙ 07:42, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
You have been called names
Here Talk:Jaggi_Vasudev#Regarding_biased_page (diff). Probably Che's pic above did the trick. Can this namecalling be allowed on a talk page of controversial article ? violates WP:NOTFORUM IMHO. DBigXrayᗙ 07:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Done. El_C 07:46, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
