At first I want to apologize for my past mistakes. I want to face my past and work to regain the trust of the community. Quite some time has passed, and I fully understand my wrongdoings now. After waiting the mandatory six months since the block of this account, I sincerely ask for a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:UNBAN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:UNBAN">WP:UNBAN</a> process. – To better understand and summarize my past mistakes, I will try to exlpain how it started: my first account <a href="/wiki/User:Satoshi_Kondo" title="User:Satoshi Kondo">user:Satoshi Kondo</a> (no access anymore), which initially got blocked because I stupidly created two other accounts at that time <a href="/wiki/User:%EC%9D%BC%EC%84%B1%EA%B0%95" title="User:일성강">user:일성강</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:Kumasojin_%E7%86%8A%E8%A5%B2" title="User:Kumasojin 熊襲">user:Kumasojin 熊襲</a> simultaneously. I attribute these quite stupid actions to my then quite young age of 15 years old in 2016. After some time, those three accounts got correctly blocked as confirmed to each other, but later got merged into the "WorldCreatorFighter" sock-zoo, which now is confirmed to represent (at least) two distinct users (the other being <a href="/wiki/User:Vamlos" title="User:Vamlos">user:Vamlos</a>). I was however to dump and too impatient at that time to explain or wait and apply for a standard offer. As such, the misery started, paired with other rule violations and childish behavior on my side, such as being too impatient and too fixated on my personal views (regardless of if they were correct/sourced or not) and did aggressively try to implement them here. – My blockes were justified and I am ashamed of my past mistakes. Since late 2022, and with this account (Wikiuser1314), I learned a lot, not only here on Wikipedia, but also in real life. I improved myself, became more patient, more cooperative and appreciated to work together with other users. In short, I got older and learned from my past. For that, please also take a look at my talk page and edits of this account (Wikiuser1314). – I really want to constructively and positively edit and contribute to the Wikipedia project, together with fellow Wikipedians, and according to the rules. I do not want to run away anymore and hope to get a chance to prove myself. I am ready to fully cooperate with the Wikipedia community to regain trust. I am also ready to reveal my real identity to administrators and get in contact with them, to explain myself and for further details if it is necessary. Thanks.

user is really distinct from the master of the WorldCreaterFighter sockfarm, we couldn't distinguish them by behaviour nor by technical data, and we have a <i>lot</i> of those data points. At some point when we get into the <i>hundreds</i> of accounts that both look and act the same, we stop bothering to carefully distinguish one account from another, because they've collectively been so disruptive over such a long period of time that there's practically zero chance of them ever being unblocked, and each new one is just adding to the garbage heap. So maybe Wikiuser1234 is a different person, maybe they're not; to me it's irrelevant, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Regarding_Ted_Kennedy#Sockpuppets" title="Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Regarding Ted Kennedy">policy supports this irrelevancy</a>. This case goes back over a decade, has been persistent throughout that time, and involves pushing fringe theories in a sensitive subject.

I don't think pending changes really makes sense in this specific circumstance, since MAB's ostensible goal is to harass specific editors, and logged-in editors can see their posts through PC protection regardless of whether those posts have been approved or not, so PC doesn't really do anything to protect MAB's main targets. <a href="/wiki/User:Writ_Keeper" title="User:Writ Keeper">Writ Keeper</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Writ_Keeper" title="User talk:Writ Keeper">⚇</a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Writ_Keeper" title="Special:Contributions/Writ Keeper">♔</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Writ_Keeper-20241114144800-Ivanvector-20241114144200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Writ_Keeper-20241114144800-Ivanvector-20241114144200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Writ_Keeper-20241114144800-Ivanvector-20241114144200"></span></dd></dl> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Lectonar-20241114145700-Ivanvector-20241114144200"></span>I think admins should be free tho deal with MAB as they see fit: short protections, blocks, and why not pending changes protection?

It's time-consuming and exhausting for admins to handle, and this is clearly MAB's goal. Well, that and to normalise death threats. MAB has kept this up for literally months, if (perhaps) not years. And admins shouldn't have to deal with this garbage. Every approach I've seen so far has simply moved him from one venue to another, but hasn't meaningfully reduced the frequency. I think if we bulk shut down all VPNgate proxies, that has a <i>chance</i> of working. I don't think anything less than this has a chance, but I support any attempts, including Ivanvector's approach.

Perhaps there's a chat or something?

To be clear: I am only interested in discussing whether we should ask the WMF to investigate; of course, I do not think anyone else should conduct anything themselves. While invoking the legal system is almost always a rhetorical pratfall, the internet is real life, and this level of sustained attack on Wikipedia's ability to operate warrants outside intervention. In my view, the WMF should determine whether MAB can be identified, and evaluate the merits of taking legal action against them if so. I know there has been much concern recently as regards the personal information of users, but there is no reason that seeking legal remedy against one of the most disruptive serial bad-faith actors in site history should be seen as a violation of trust or principles.

I understand that in the past I have engaged in warring edit and using accounts to evade to continue editing after being blocked. After mustering sufficient knowledge and experience, I have come to terms with the rules and acknowledge that I must embrace a serene approach in editing and resort at all cost to discussion when disagreements arise. I will restrain myself to the one-revert rule and embrace discussion. I also understand that abusing multiple accounts only complicates the matter and I will not sockpuppet under any circumstances. I will be very appreciate if I get extra help as a startup to further immerse with the positive environment. </p><p>If unblocked, I would start editing in simple articles related to sports and geographical locations, as these type of articles generally lacks controversial segments so it would be easier to get used to the editing process. If disagreements arise, I have read and know how to use the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:3O" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:3O">WP:3O</a> to soliciate third opinions for a consensus-reaching process. I also read and understand <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DR">WP:DR</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDIATE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDIATE">WP:MEDIATE</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RFC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RFC">WP:RFC</a> and other policies and will strictly resort to and abide by these when disagreements arise. I will ask questions whenever necessary. </p><p>After all, Wikipedia is an environment of collaborative editing and positive exchange. I now understand this well. We strike to construct a friendly environment. I learn to understand and respect other people's stances on matter. Warring edit counters this aspect and should be absolutely avoided in my mind. When I was first blocked I was a completely new editor to a new environment so I have yet to foster any experience and therefore engage in warring edit without knowing that contested edit must reach consensus. I now have read thoroughly the editing process and the policies to understand what I must abide by to create constructive and positive collaboration. I have never been unblocked, so it is worth it to give me a chance to prove that I will be a great contributor." </p> <dl><dd>Carried over <a href="/wiki/User:Deepfriedokra" title="User:Deepfriedokra">-- Deepfriedokra</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Deepfriedokra" title="User talk:Deepfriedokra">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Deepfriedokra-20241116121400-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:14, 16 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241116121400-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Deepfriedokra-20241116121400-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"></span></dd></dl> <ul><li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241116150700-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"></span> tentative and hope filled support unblock.</b><a href="/wiki/User:Deepfriedokra" title="User:Deepfriedokra">-- Deepfriedokra</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Deepfriedokra" title="User talk:Deepfriedokra">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Deepfriedokra-20241116150700-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:07, 16 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241116150700-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Deepfriedokra-20241116150700-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"></span></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Compassionate727-20241116201600-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"></span>Is it confirmed that there has been no sockpuppetry recently? <span style="white-space: nowrap;">—<a href="/wiki/User:Compassionate727" title="User:Compassionate727">Compassionate727</a> <sup>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Compassionate727" title="User talk:Compassionate727">T</a>·<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Compassionate727" title="Special:Contributions/Compassionate727">C</a>)</sup></span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Compassionate727-20241116201600-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Compassionate727-20241116201600-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Compassionate727-20241116201600-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241116203100-Compassionate727-20241116201600"></span>I was hoping Yamla would pop in.

Can you kindly carry over my reply to Compassionate727 in the noticeboard as follows: Compassionate727, I'm really, really sincere about being unblocked. I really regret the edit warring I did and the subsequent block evasion. It's important to note that I have never been unblocked so why is giving someone a chance so hard? I can be easily blocked again if I infringe the rules again. Why would I take all this time to write the request and wait just to be insincere and blocked again? Anyone can mature greatly, please give me the opportunity to be positively productive. I first created my account 9 years ago. The primary reason for my block was because of edit warring. All the other accounts were blocked only because of block evasion. I addressed above how to avoid edit warring in the future, and especially I will restrict myself to the one-revert restriction. 9 years ago I was younger and not as clear headed. If you unblock me, you can either get a vandal that easily blocked after seconds (which is a very small risk) or a positive contributor who contribute positively for years (which is a very reasonable great positive exchange). I promise you with my hearts I will be on the latter side." <dl><dd>Carried over by me. <a href="/wiki/User:Deepfriedokra" title="User:Deepfriedokra">-- Deepfriedokra</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Deepfriedokra" title="User talk:Deepfriedokra">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800-Deepfriedokra-20241117181000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800-Deepfriedokra-20241117181000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800-Deepfriedokra-20241117181000"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241119031100-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Compassionate727" title="User:Compassionate727">Compassionate727</a>:</span> <a href="/wiki/User:Deepfriedokra" title="User:Deepfriedokra">-- Deepfriedokra</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Deepfriedokra" title="User talk:Deepfriedokra">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Deepfriedokra-20241119031100-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:11, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241119031100-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Deepfriedokra-20241119031100-Deepfriedokra-20241118060800"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Deepfriedokra-20241118154800-Unban/unblock_request_for_Albertpda"></span>Noting</b> Global lock has been down-graded to a global block.

Deacon of Pndapetzim, even if you don't agree with these charges, do not do those things in the future.

Additionally, at most, if there was a lot of agreement with your position, there might be a recommendation to take this complaint to arbitration or to start a recall petition but so far, I don't see a groundswell of support here yet and I don't think either a request for arbitration or a recall effort would be successful. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;"><a href="/wiki/User:Liz" title="User:Liz"><i><b>L</b></i>iz</a></span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;"><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Liz" title="Special:Contributions/Liz"><i><b>Read!</b></i></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Liz" title="User talk:Liz"><i><b>Talk!</b></i></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Liz-20241118202100-Pbritti-20241118201800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:21, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Liz-20241118202100-Pbritti-20241118201800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Liz-20241118202100-Pbritti-20241118201800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241118204100-Liz-20241118202100"></span>I believe the focus is the civility, the implication that only historians should participate in that discussion, and the canvassing.

Comments should be about the arguments, not the participants. (I do admit this might be easy for me to say from the sidelines, especially as someone who is more of a reader than someone who writes content.)<p>Regarding <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1258179198" title="Special:Diff/1258179198">the comment DoP sent to Ealdgyth</a>, to me it clearly crosses the line into non-neutral. There's no reason not to say simply "As someone interested in and knowledgeable about the topic area, you might be interested in participating in this AfD"; arguments about the precedent and consequences of deletion can and should be made in the discussion itself.</p><p>While I do offer my feedback in the hope DoP changes his approach, some of the back-and-forth discussion above doesn't necessarily seem to be benefiting anyone.

I understand the purpose of the guideline, but it should not be interpreted to prevent bringing a discussion to the attention of the people best able to comment knowledgeably. For comparison, I am a known authority on the author Rex Stout. If someone proposed deleting an article relating to Stout and I missed the AfD notice, I would like to be told about it; and if I then commented, I would not feel that either I or anyone else did anything wrong. Likewise, if an AfD concerns a disputed personage in medieval history, why would we want to disallow seeking input from a major contributor to our medieval history articles? <a href="/wiki/User:Newyorkbrad" title="User:Newyorkbrad">Newyorkbrad</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Newyorkbrad" title="User talk:Newyorkbrad">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000-Deacon_of_Pndapetzim" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:20, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000-Deacon_of_Pndapetzim"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000-Deacon_of_Pndapetzim"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241118213000-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000"></span>You do make a good point, but the biggest issue in this notification is the non-neutral way in which it was done. <a href="/wiki/User:Hey_man_im_josh" title="User:Hey man im josh">Hey man im josh</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Hey_man_im_josh" title="User talk:Hey man im josh">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241118213000-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:30, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241118213000-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241118213000-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Sawyer777-20241118213100-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000"></span>just speaking for myself, i have no issues <i>per se</i> with him notifying Ealdgyth - she is, as you say, a major contributor in the medieval history area (and someone i have a lot of respect for). the issue Pbritti and others have taken with the talk page message is the tone and content, especially the parts that say <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">I'm pretty worried about the level and type of reasoning being used and the precedent potentially being added</q> and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">The deletionists going for the kill here could be emboldened to go after a lot more, including the many place-filler bishop articles we've created over the years.</q> in my view, that clearly indicates an intent to bring a "friendly" editor to be backup in a debate, rather than a simple notification of a relevant discussion. it's a fine line, and i agree that it's not uncommon to see overzealousness with the anti-canvassing guideline, but i do think this crosses into problematic territory. <span style="color:#507533">... <a href="/wiki/User:Sawyer777" title="User:Sawyer777"><span style="color:#507533">sawyer</span></a> * <small>he/they</small> * <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Sawyer777" title="User talk:Sawyer777"><span style="color:#507533">talk</span></a></span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Sawyer777-20241118213100-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:31, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Sawyer777-20241118213100-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Sawyer777-20241118213100-Newyorkbrad-20241118212000"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Newyorkbrad-20241118215300-Sawyer777-20241118213100"></span>I would not have phrased the notification with words like "going for the kill," nor would I have made any reference to "trolling."

But the point I'm making is that the effect of a "neutral" notification and a "non-neutral" notification, at least in this instance, would have been exactly the same, so whether or not the notice was "canvassing" strikes me as a peripheral aspect of the discussion. Put differently, if the editor posted "ABCD" in the notification, as opposed to posting "A" in the notification and "BCD" in the AfD itself, would that have changed the analysis? (And with that I may bow out of the discussion, lest I give too much attention to what I've just said should be a minor aspect of the thread.) <a href="/wiki/User:Newyorkbrad" title="User:Newyorkbrad">Newyorkbrad</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Newyorkbrad" title="User talk:Newyorkbrad">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Newyorkbrad-20241118221400-Pbritti-20241118220900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Newyorkbrad-20241118221400-Pbritti-20241118220900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Newyorkbrad-20241118221400-Pbritti-20241118220900"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pbritti-20241118221600-Newyorkbrad-20241118221400"></span>Ah, this makes sense.

DoP is being so pointlessly aggressive, unfair, and patronizing here (and it's likely to end up being counter-productive to keeping the article), that I guess I can't really fault it too much. I suppose I'll say (a) DoP and his adversaries (for lack of a better word) should minimize contact outside the AFD, including here; and (b) if his aggression continues in the AFD, I'll just partially block him from participating there further. I've got it watchlisted now. The non-neutral canvassing, while not great, is less of a concern to me, both for reasons outlined by NYB, and because not every single policy violation needs to be admonished/punished.

I acknowledge that my use of language at the time was inappropriate and that I made amateurish mistakes. These errors stemmed from a lack of experience and familiarity with Wikipedia's standards and guidelines. Over the past three years, I have actively worked on improving my skills in both editing and communication, as well as my proficiency in English. During this time, I have consistently contributed to the Turkish Wikipedia, adhering to its standards and guidelines. This experience has not only enhanced my understanding of Wikipedia’s expectations but also reinforced my commitment to respectful and constructive collaboration. I genuinely believe that I can now contribute positively and meaningfully to the English Wikipedia. I am fully committed to abiding by Wikipedia’s principles of civility, neutrality, and verifiability. If given the opportunity, I will ensure that my contributions align with these standards and add value to the community. I kindly request you to reconsider my topic ban and allow me to demonstrate my commitment to these principles through constructive edits. I am open to further discussion and willing to comply with any additional conditions to regain editing privileges. Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response. </p><p>Sincerely, <a href="/wiki/User:Cengizsogutlu" title="User:Cengizsogutlu">Cengizsogutlu</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Cengizsogutlu" title="User talk:Cengizsogutlu">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban-1"></span>The notification is still on this page; </p><p><a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=1025564072#Cengizsogutlu">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=1025564072#Cengizsogutlu</a> <a href="/wiki/User:Cengizsogutlu" title="User:Cengizsogutlu">Cengizsogutlu</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Cengizsogutlu" title="User talk:Cengizsogutlu">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban-1"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800-Appeal_for_Lifting_Topic_Ban-1"></span> </p> <ul><li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Liz-20241119030700-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800"></span>Leaning decline</b> - no activity on en.wiki since 2023 and their last edits here were violations of the tban.

They appear to <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/1168904999">have misunderstood the scope of their topic ban</a>, a misunderstanding which was corrected in August 2023. That was their first breach of the ban and we should assume that it was a legitimate mistake. However, they have scarcely edited since, so this appeal is coming very soon and with very little fresh editing to assess. There is no evidence that the problems with competence, unsound sourcing, and pro-Turkish POV have been addressed. It is asserted in the appeal that the user has gained a fresh understanding of our policies and that their language and editing skills have improved. However, to support that, the only edits we have are this appeal, one reply in this thread, and one translated new article. I wouldn't be comfortable overturning with just that. <b>Decline</b> for now. <a href="/wiki/User:Arcticocean" title="User:Arcticocean"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#5A4FCF;">arctic<b>ocean</b> ■</span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Arcticocean-20241119152900-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:29, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Arcticocean-20241119152900-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Arcticocean-20241119152900-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800"></span></li></ul> <dl><dd><ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Black_Kite-20241120121700-Arcticocean-20241119152900"></span>In the block appeal from 2021, the replying admin stated very clearly that "If a topic has anything to do with Turkey at all, you cannot edit it", so they can't really say it was a misunderstanding. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Black_Kite" title="User talk:Black Kite">Black Kite (talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Black_Kite-20241120121700-Arcticocean-20241119152900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:17, 20 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Black_Kite-20241120121700-Arcticocean-20241119152900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Black_Kite-20241120121700-Arcticocean-20241119152900"></span></li></ul></dd></dl> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/User:Cengizsogutlu" title="User:Cengizsogutlu"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Cullen328-20241119205100-Cengizsogutlu-20241118222800"></span>Cengizsogutlu</a>, your topic ban on the English Wikipedia does not apply to Wikimedia Commons.

Just as buying paint and a canvas but not actually painting serves no purpose, these efforts would also be ineffective. However, other users can, of course, eventually use and edit these contributions. But I believe doing both simultaneously will prevent providing an impactful contribution.

Using AI is a step <i>down</i> from having amateurish mistakes and will only compound them. You were topic banned for a reason, continued to dabble in that topic but no one caught you, and now you want to be unbanned.

To me, this says that there is a -20% support penalty when using secret voting. I don't think the reason is particularly important. I think we should just work around this by lowering the pass threshold. The aelect candidates in the 60 to 70 range were good, and we should make it so that they can pass in the future. An RFC for this is in the pipeline.

Admin actions aren't everything and it's difficult to quantify a number of tasks that some great admins work at. For example, the number of unblock requests that someone like <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:331dot">331dot</a></span> declines or replies to prior to unblocking, or ARBCOM time spent writing significant text or analyzing long conversations and evidence, or the admins working at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CFDS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CFDS">WP:CFDS</a> to process category renaming requests. Never the less, there is <i>some</i> value in admin actions, it's just not the only way to evaluate someone's contributions and we should be mindful of that. <a href="/wiki/User:Hey_man_im_josh" title="User:Hey man im josh">Hey man im josh</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Hey_man_im_josh" title="User talk:Hey man im josh">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800-Secretlondon-20241119225400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:38, 20 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800-Secretlondon-20241119225400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800-Secretlondon-20241119225400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Liz-20241121013100-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800"></span>I agree, too, Josh. I think of the time some admins spend talking to new editors or blocked editors, trying to explain Wikipedia's processes to them, and I think those are invaluable activities. But personal conversations, one-on-one discussions, are not quantified and don't have a "leaderboard". Or time spend on noticeboards or DRN or the Teahouse, working to resolve and deescalate disputes. Of course, many of these discussions are also done by editors, too, but I know some admins who will spend their time trying to guide confused or frustrated editors into being productive contributors and I think those actions are some of the most important that admins can take on because they can lead to more constructive editors. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;"><a href="/wiki/User:Liz" title="User:Liz"><i><b>L</b></i>iz</a></span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;"><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Liz" title="Special:Contributions/Liz"><i><b>Read!</b></i></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Liz" title="User talk:Liz"><i><b>Talk!</b></i></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Liz-20241121013100-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Liz-20241121013100-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Liz-20241121013100-Hey_man_im_josh-20241120163800"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Compassionate727-20241121031200-Secretlondon-20241119225400"></span>Admin stats are a good way of determining how many (and which) admins are doing the high-volume, tedious, repetitive stuff.

One very, VERY inappropriate edit. "Harrassment" implies more extensive editing focused on intentionally annoying a fellow editor and interfering with their editing which I don't see here. If anything, I think they were unnecessarily bothered with a totally ludicrous COIN case that argued that because they were a fan of a musical, they shouldn't be editing an article about it without disclosing they had a COI. If that's the case, then we should inform all of the Doctor Who fans who are editors that they are banned from editing any articles connected with that TV series. This was a frivolous noticeboard dispute and if it hadn't happened, the editor probably wouldn't have outed the filing editor and they wouldn't be blocked right now. I'm not defending what they did, outing is a red line none of us can cross without severe consequences, but this whole situation didn't have to happen. I think we have to do more to discourage editors from bringing minor disputes to the public forum of noticeboards. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;"><a href="/wiki/User:Liz" title="User:Liz"><i><b>L</b></i>iz</a></span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman;

Some editors noted that the discussion adopting it as policy was widely advertised and disapproved of this discussion being a basis to undo that. Other editors countered that said discussion was not a sufficiently robust basis to establish <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_recall" title="Wikipedia:Administrator recall">Wikipedia:Administrator recall</a> as policy because many were nevertheless unaware of the discussion, some people did not participate because the question was confusing, and the RfC was not specifically about whether the procedure should be policy (rather, it was about whether to have a process). Many editors find it idiosyncratic that a procedure like recall could have binding force but not be policy, but other editors noted that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship" title="Wikipedia:Requests for adminship">Wikipedia:Requests for adminship</a> is the same way; editors also noted that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Policy" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Policy">Wikipedia:Policy</a> defines a policy by <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">wide acceptance among editors</q>, which the turmoil from the recent recall petitions shows that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_recall" title="Wikipedia:Administrator recall">Wikipedia:Administrator recall</a> does not yet have.

But Maddy correctly read the consensus as saying that this should be adopted and put into effect (and not simply as a trial). So if the community has reached a consensus to put something into effect, that can lead to a desysop, I cannot see how that would be anything other than a policy. If other editors are just now waking up to the fact that they should have joined me in speaking up earlier, well, it's too late now. At some point, we will have to have an RfC to revoke this policy, but for the time being, it's a policy. --<a href="/wiki/User:Tryptofish" title="User:Tryptofish">Tryptofish</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tryptofish" title="User talk:Tryptofish">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Tryptofish-20241028200000-Joe_Roe-20241028191400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:00, 28 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tryptofish-20241028200000-Joe_Roe-20241028191400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tryptofish-20241028200000-Joe_Roe-20241028191400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Joe_Roe-20241028200600-Tryptofish-20241028200000"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">This should be adopted and put into effect</q> – I agree with that, it's the "policy" designation that seems unwarranted, given the lack of an explicit proposal to adopt it as one.

And the attempted early close and subsequent re-opening of the Graham87 petition further damage the process's credibility. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/SuperMarioMan" title="Special:Contributions/SuperMarioMan"><b style="color: #FF0F00;">Super</b><b style="color: #FF3F00;">Mario</b><b style="color: #FF6F00;">Man</b></a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SuperMarioMan" title="User talk:SuperMarioMan">Talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-SuperMarioMan-20241028224200-Voorts-20241028212400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:42, 28 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SuperMarioMan-20241028224200-Voorts-20241028212400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SuperMarioMan-20241028224200-Voorts-20241028212400"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Daniel-20241028201700-Joe_Roe-20241028191400"></span>"<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:POLICIES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:POLICIES">Policies have wide acceptance among editors</a>".

Everyone agrees that this has been an incredibly rocky start for the process, other people are trying to fix it. But a bunch of editors suddenly complaining about the process, no matter how respected, does not suddenly revert consensus. In these three threads, editors who have concerns about this project are (rightfully) way more likely to comment now than the editors who already agree with calling it a policy.

I happen to think it's more process than policy because it's a process Admin X goes through to keep or lose their Admin flag. It's not a policy because there's no clear X/Y outcome. It's petition pass/fail, RRFA pass/fail. As both of those are subjective, it is not a policy situation. However it is a policy in that (using the current example) Graham cannot close Diletantte's petition because they filed it per the framework established. It has bugs as any new process does.

Three separate RFCs over the course of a year, with over 100 editors participating, advertised at the Village Pump, AN, CENT, the Admin Newsletter, user talk page notices, and watchlist notices. If that doesn't count as thorough vetting and wide acceptance, then nothing will. Admin recall is a standard that must be followed (subject to IAR)--bureaucrats <i>shall</i> desysop following a successful recall--so it's not like a guideline or essay. And anyway, the mechanism by which advanced permissions like sysop are added and removed obviously must be done by policy and not by any lower level of consensus.

The RfC that was concluded indicating it is a policy did <i>NOT</i> include any mention whatsoever of asking if it should be policy. None. Nada. Zip. Nothing. In fact, several people who commented on the RfC noted that details of the policy still needed to be hashed out. The fact is, there was no vote to make this policy. <a href="/wiki/User:Maddy_from_Celeste" title="User:Maddy from Celeste">User:Maddy from Celeste</a>, I appreciate the effort you put into making this close, but this close is a mistake in making this a policy.

I also don't feel all policies have the same barrier to change, if that's the main concern. Changing a fundamental part of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">WP:NPOV</a> requires a very different level of consensus compared to a policy with 15 talk page watchers. There are things with admin recall that will likely need tweaking; I think reasonably advertised talk page discussion has the ability to make such change. Re procedure: I don't think procedural policies need an explicit vote to that effect. Many current procedural policies didn't, eg AFAICT <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:File_mover" title="Wikipedia:File mover">WP:File mover</a> was promoted after <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux">xaosflux</a> <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:File_mover/Archive_1#Not_an_essay_-_move_to_upgrade_status">noticed</a> felt it shouldn't be tagged as an essay, and nobody objected.

The RfC behind them usually just asked if such a userright should be created / unbundled. The creation of a procedural policy page was either done by a single editor, or said by the closer to be done as in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Page_mover/Archive_1#RFC_-_Proposed:_"Page_mover"_permission_to_be_created" title="Wikipedia talk:Page mover/Archive 1">page mover's case</a>, but was not the RfC question explicitly, and until the closer mentioned it, nobody else did afaict. My point being, I suspect very few of the current procedural policies had explicit confirmation votes. <a href="/wiki/User:ProcrastinatingReader" title="User:ProcrastinatingReader">ProcrastinatingReader</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:ProcrastinatingReader" title="User talk:ProcrastinatingReader">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700-Novem_Linguae-20241030043200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700-Novem_Linguae-20241030043200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700-Novem_Linguae-20241030043200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Novem_Linguae-20241030214300-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700"></span>I've started <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:File_mover#Is_this_page_a_policy?" title="Wikipedia talk:File mover">Wikipedia_talk:File_mover#Is_this_page_a_policy?</a> to work on fixing these odd pages that have a policy category but no policy template and little original talk page discussion about promoting them to policies. –<a href="/wiki/User:Novem_Linguae" title="User:Novem Linguae"><span style="color:blue"><b>Novem Linguae</b></span></a> <small>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Novem_Linguae" title="User talk:Novem Linguae">talk</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Novem_Linguae-20241030214300-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Novem_Linguae-20241030214300-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Novem_Linguae-20241030214300-ProcrastinatingReader-20241030071700"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-S_Marshall-20241030164300-Joe_Roe-20241028191400"></span>It's a rule, but it's not ready to be policy yet.

But in the big picture (including that chain of events), a high impact policy should be something which had every sentence in it carefully reviewed, has been optimized, and has had wide advertisement/participation to adopt it, and where considering it to be policy a clear part of the question. IMO none or hardly none of those criteria has been satisfied. Further, the initial general decision (in essence saying that there shall be a recall process) was only the starting point of what should have been a thorough process that included all of the above and which in my opinion it wasn't and didn't include all of the above. Let's just take a little extra time to do all of the above instead of having this cloud eternally hanging over the recall process.

But as to whether we would ever want to use their material, regardless of attribution: I'm wholly unconvinced of the necessity to do so. If we want to write about Godzilla et al., there must be plenty of non-fansites AKA actual reliable, independent third-part sources available. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Serial_Number_54129" title="User talk:Serial Number 54129"><b style="color:#7a0427;">SerialNumber</b></a><i><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Serial_Number_54129" title="Special:Contributions/Serial Number 54129"><b style="color:#17662c;">54129</b></a></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Serial_Number_54129-20241122121800-GojiraFan1954-20241122111700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:18, 22 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Serial_Number_54129-20241122121800-GojiraFan1954-20241122111700"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Serial_Number_54129-20241122121800-GojiraFan1954-20241122111700"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-1AmNobody24-20241122123200-Serial_Number_54129-20241122121800"></span>The copyvios list is technically any link that's not on the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CopyPatrolBot/UrlIgnoreList" class="extiw" title="meta:User:CopyPatrolBot/UrlIgnoreList">Url Ignore List</a>.

This editor did what we instruct COI editors to do: declared their COI, wrote in draftspace, and submitted for AfC review. This editor was not being disruptive, nor were they trying to push the draft through to mainspace. Looking at the draft that was deleted, I highly doubt that this company is notable, but there's no harm in letting it get rejected a few times and then having it get deleted after 6 months when the COI editor gets the message. <a href="/wiki/User:Voorts" title="User:Voorts">voorts</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Voorts" title="User talk:Voorts">talk</a>/<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Voorts" title="Special:Contributions/Voorts">contributions</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Voorts-20241123160100-Rsjaffe-20241123154900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Voorts-20241123160100-Rsjaffe-20241123154900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Voorts-20241123160100-Rsjaffe-20241123154900"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rsjaffe-20241123160700-Rsjaffe-20241123154900"></span>This conversation regarding an earlier block of mine, where the name is ambiguous (rep sr) I took to mean senior rep), colored my thinking. <a href="/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/1258413577#Changing_username" title="Special:PermanentLink/1258413577">Special:Permalink/1258413577#Changing username</a> — <a href="/wiki/User:Rsjaffe" title="User:Rsjaffe"><b style="font-family:Papyrus;color:DarkSlateGrey;">rsjaffe</b></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rsjaffe" title="User talk:Rsjaffe">🗣️</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Rsjaffe-20241123160700-Rsjaffe-20241123154900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:07, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rsjaffe-20241123160700-Rsjaffe-20241123154900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rsjaffe-20241123160700-Rsjaffe-20241123154900"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-331dot-20241123161300-Rsjaffe-20241123154900"></span>I would be a bit concerned that "ScifaxEditor" is a position and that the account is a role account, one that can be handed off to a successor.

To me, this username strongly implies a role account, and I would not be surprised if I've blocked others with this same username pattern. If the company has any kind of "editor" position then I'd lean heavily towards it being a violation; if the company doesn't, it still screams "role account" to me. I think this pattern is uniquely confusing because the term "editor" in this context can be overloaded. I think there is enough room for interpretation here that if another admin reviewed a UAA report as "not a violation" I would not object; likewise, I'd not expect a block (<i>especially</i> a soft one) to generate this level of controversy. --Chris | <small><a href="/wiki/User:Crazycomputers" title="User:Crazycomputers">Crazycomputers</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Crazycomputers" title="User talk:Crazycomputers">talk</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Crazycomputers-20241123235000-Rsjaffe-20241123224500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:50, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Crazycomputers-20241123235000-Rsjaffe-20241123224500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Crazycomputers-20241123235000-Rsjaffe-20241123224500"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Orangemike-20241124010600-Rsjaffe-20241123224500"></span>Such a name is very much a role account, one that could be passed on to another editor or shared by everybody who has the job of editor there.

My brother, who lives with me, has mentioned that he intends on vandalizing Wikipedia articles. He hasn't specified (to the best of my knowledge) what articles he intends to vandalize. Knowing him, it's likely to be anything relating to Donald Trump, and other things relating to the republican party.

I don't believe a word, and Floquenbeam has the size of it. A five day old account suddenly wants to warn us about future vandalism coming from their IP? No. A (probably somewhat immature) attempt to get us all chasing our tails and bending over ourselves to show good faith? Yes. Now they know that now they don't even <i>need</i> to vandalize; we've wasted more time on the suggestion than we would have done on the actuality. Trolls vandalize for the attention; how much cleverer it is not to have to vandalize at all but still achieve the same result.

As for how I have been editing since being topic banned, and how I plan on editing when my topic ban is lifted: </p> <ul><li>Since being topic banned, I have made about 600-700 edits surrounding a large variety of topics, though the most common I think was media (tv, books, movies, games). In the very few content disputes I have been in since the topic ban (which were all very innocuous, with no disputes related to sourcing; only to minor things like phrasing), I have made sure to resolve the discussion collegially, rather than snapping back or adding the proposed edit to the page with minimal discussion (an old tendency to use one talk page comment as a cue to add an edit was cited as a problem with my editing, which I have fixed). If an edit was reverted, I made sure to discuss with the other party. I've mostly made sure to make my comments as concise as possible, though inevitably a few were long so as to properly address multiple points. Said discussions always ended both amicably and calmly, usually with both me and the other party thanking each other. I think this properly shows that I won't return to any sort of BATTLEGROUND behavior.</li></ul> <ul><li>I have also made a decent amount of edits into the events leading to and after the 2024 US presidential election, such as the multiple assassination attempts against Trump, Biden's withdrawal, Harris becoming the Democratic candidate, and Trump's victory. I've been very productive in this area with little no problems. Post-1992 American politics is a separate contentious topic.

The incident from six months ago was not isolated, it was the final straw in a pattern of harmfully queerphobic POV editing going back several years (see the TBAN discussion for examples). The message we send when we keep letting demonstrably unsafe editors back around these sensitive topics is that marginalized editors should expect the same abuse here as they get on Twitter, and they won't: they'll just leave. Back to my earlier comment: "Unsafe persons have a <a href="/wiki/Chilling_effect" title="Chilling effect">chilling effect</a> on queer persons and queer spaces; the minor benefit of one editor gnoming and copyediting BLPs in this space is very greatly outweighed by the potential for a known unsafe person to drive marginalized editors away from a sensitive topic."

I am disclosing that I was the blocking adminstrator during the incident that ultimately led to the topic ban. In general, I oppose lifting topic bans when an editor asks for a topic ban to be lifted while simultaneously saying that they have no interest in or plans to edit in that topic area. In my opinion, such requests come off as disingenuous and are a waste of time of other editors who need to spend valuable volunteer time evaluating the appeal. Which brings to mind a comment I made on May 21, 2024 on the editor's talk page: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">The one thing that I will say now is that I am very concerned about this editor's tendency to waste other editors time.</q> I feel the same today. <a href="/wiki/User:Cullen328" title="User:Cullen328">Cullen328</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Cullen328" title="User talk:Cullen328">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Cullen328-20241125082000-Comments_by_involved_editors" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:20, 25 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Cullen328-20241125082000-Comments_by_involved_editors"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Cullen328-20241125082000-Comments_by_involved_editors"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Unnamed_anon-20241125084200-Cullen328-20241125082000"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Cullen328" title="User:Cullen328">Cullen328</a>:</span> I guess I do owe an explanation for why I'm even asking for the Tban to be lifted (or loosened to 1RR). Like I said, I don't want to have to second-guess if any edit to certain pages would be a breach of my topic ban, even if said edit is entirely unrelated to anything GENSEX. To mind currently, four events led to this realization. <ol><li>I was adding redirects of full names for characters from Overwatch for those who were missing such redirects (i.e. I added the missing <a href="/wiki/Brigitte_Lindholm" class="mw-redirect" title="Brigitte Lindholm">Brigitte Lindholm</a> redirect for <a href="/wiki/Brigitte_(Overwatch)" title="Brigitte (Overwatch)">Brigitte (Overwatch)</a>). One of the characters with a missing redirect, <a href="/wiki/Zarya_(Overwatch)" title="Zarya (Overwatch)">Zarya (Overwatch)</a> (missing redirect <a href="/w/index.php?title=Aleksandra_Zaryanova&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Aleksandra Zaryanova (page does not exist)">Aleksandra Zaryanova</a>), has the lede say <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Despite her sexuality not being explicitly discussed by Blizzard, many Western fans have viewed her as a lesbian</q>, and said content takes up quite a bit of the reception section. I have no idea of creating the real name redirect on such a page would have been a breach of my topic ban, and in the long term it would save everyone's time, including my own, to just get the Tban lifted instead of needing to ask or second-guess if a minor edit is okay.</li> <li>The other was on <a href="/wiki/Talk:Twitter" title="Talk:Twitter">Talk:Twitter</a>, where a user invited others to <a href="/wiki/Talk:StoneToss#Twitter_or_X" title="Talk:StoneToss">Talk:StoneToss#Twitter or X</a> regarding whether to call the site Twitter or X. I could productively contribute to the discussion there about what to call Twitter/X, as I had been doing on the main Twitter page, but StoneToss's article's lede mentions it including transphobic and homophobic views. I have no idea whether contributing to the Stonetoss talk page about Twitter, even if I wasn't going to comment about related to Stonetoss or their content at all, would be a breach of the Topic Ban.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Liko_(Pok%C3%A9mon)" title="Liko (Pokémon)">Liko (Pokémon)</a> says that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">She has also been highlighted for her status as the series' first female main character</q>, which is only partially true (there were plenty of previous female main characters), and I was considering changing "main character" to "protagonist". The page is completely unrelated to anything queer-related, but <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GENSEX" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GENSEX">WP:GENSEX</a> says that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">discretionary sanctions apply to any discussion regarding systemic bias faced by female editors or article subjects</q>, so even though misogyny was never something I have been on the hot seat for, I didn't want to risk breaking any terms of the Tban.</li> <li>In June, I was considering !voting keep on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Morrigan_Aensland" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morrigan Aensland">Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morrigan Aensland</a>. However, at the time, said character had categories saying she was bisexual (which were recently removed by another user as unsourced), so I didn't know if commenting on that AfD would breach my topic ban. Even without that, part of the character's notability comes from fan-made pornography and sex appeal, so again, I didn't want to risk breaching my Topic Ban if non-queer sexualization applied to GENSEX.</li></ol></dd> <dd><a href="/wiki/User:Unnamed_anon" title="User:Unnamed anon">Unnamed anon</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Unnamed_anon" title="User talk:Unnamed anon">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Unnamed_anon-20241125084200-Cullen328-20241125082000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Unnamed_anon-20241125084200-Cullen328-20241125082000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Unnamed_anon-20241125084200-Cullen328-20241125082000"></span></dd></dl></li> <li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Simonm223-20241125205100-Comments_by_involved_editors"></span>On the fence</b> I remember the furor over the queerphobia essay and some of the statements Unnamed anon made at that time were alarming, to say the least.

Almost all of them are introducing errors of some kind. If I am being honest, I have to state plainly that this is not helping the site, but is in fact creating much more clean-up work for editors to do. I do not feel like I have the right to tell an edit-a-thon to stop, but it seems like this would be the ideal result for the wiki as it stands.

But proficiency is not the same thing as competence to copy-edit. Like I said, I am proficient in French—to the extent that you could drop me in the middle of France and forbid me from ever speaking English again, and I would be able to communicate perfectly... And yet, on the very rare occasions that I copy-edit the French Wikipedia, I do so very very cautiously, repeatedly checking their style guide, because I understand that my day-to-day proficiency doesn't make me a good copy-editor. Your participants are writing things <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1259434832" title="Special:Diff/1259434832">like</a> "In 1940s, the educational history started in Abeokuta". That is not proficient English. It's close enough to proficient English that, if it were a first draft of an article, it might not be an issue, but it's an issue when that's a change away from the previous "The 1940s were the start of educational history in Abeokuta" (which is problematic for other reasons, but at least better in relative terms). Please understand, this isn't purely an issue with English as a learned language, or a matter of any particular dialect of English. As someone who occasionally freelances as a copy-editor in English, I can tell you, I'd be out of work if not for the many native English speakers who don't know how to use commas, tenses, capital letters, etc. Still, I'll reiterate my suggestion that your participants may be better at copy-editing in other languages. <span style="font-family:courier"> -- <a href="/wiki/User:Tamzin" title="User:Tamzin"><span style="color:#E6007A">Tamzin</span></a></span><sup class="nowrap">[<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tamzin" title="User talk:Tamzin"><i style="color:#E6007A">cetacean needed</i></a>]</sup> <small>(<a href="/wiki/User:Tamzin/%F0%9F%A4%B7" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Tamzin/🤷">they|xe</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Tamzin-20241125180900-Nnamdi_Kinghenry-20241125163100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tamzin-20241125180900-Nnamdi_Kinghenry-20241125163100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tamzin-20241125180900-Nnamdi_Kinghenry-20241125163100"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Malparti-20241126154000-Remsense-20241125062000"></span>I came here to say that I have also had to manually revert several good-faith-but-disruptive edits by some of these editors, and that I think something should be done to stop this group.

The change from <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">He is more remembered for his social reforms, but also contributed to</q> to <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">He was remembered for his social reforms, also contributed to</q> breaks the syntax less seriously—"contributed" is left without a subject by breakage of the parallel structure—but reduces the meaning by removing "more" and changes it by implying he is no longer remembered. Not a matter of grammar or meaning but of protocol in quotation, the removal of the brackets from <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">[h]e</q> at the start of a quotation misrepresents the quote as not having been the start of a new sentence in the original. This copyedit degraded rather than improved the article. Furthermore, Fram could usefully have linked to the <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bangladeshi_English_literature&diff=prev&oldid=1259410360">previous edit</a>, by <a href="/wiki/User:Alexjos1858" title="User:Alexjos1858">Alexjos1858</a>. That edit began by confusing the syntax of the opening sentence, changing <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">refers to the body of literary work written in the <a href="/wiki/English_language" title="English language">English language</a> in <a href="/wiki/Bangladesh" title="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Bangladeshi_diaspora" title="Bangladeshi diaspora">Bangladeshi diaspora</a></q> to <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">refers to the body of literary works written in <a href="/wiki/English_language" title="English language">English language</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bangladesh" title="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bangladeshi_diaspora" title="Bangladeshi diaspora">Bangladeshi diaspora</a></q>, where the omission of "the" is an error and the new comma is required to do altogether too much work; the change from "work" to "works" mentioned in the edit summary is more a matter of taste, but "body of work" is a fixed phrase so better left that way. The change from <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">is a writer, translator and academic</q> to <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">is a writer, translator and an academic</q> breaks grammatical parallelism. Most seriously, the edit introduced numerous subject–verb agreement errors: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Early prominent Bengali writers in English includes</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Modern writers of the Bangladeshi diaspora includes</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">The following lists shows</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Notable works includes</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">ecstasies and frustrations engulfs</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">His works includes</q>, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Her pangs of separation adds</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">The contemporary Bangladeshi English writers ... who represents</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk"><a href="/wiki/Bangladeshi_diaspora" title="Bangladeshi diaspora">diaspora generations</a> who are living abroad and feels</q>; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">the first-generation Bangladeshi immigrants who feels</q> (the last one produced by pluralisation of the subject rather than sticking an -<i>s</i> on the verb, 2 instances of which the editor listed in their edit summary as if they thought it required for plural subjects). Overall, that was a very bad edit. (It did, however, fix one agreement error, changing <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">the narrative of the stories entangle</q> to <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">the narrative of the stories entangles</q>, add the missing indefinite article to <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">still virgin</q>, and remove an erroneous space between full stop/period and reference. Both editors missed 2 instances of <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Hindu <b>c</b>ollege</q>.) Both edits degraded the article and have now been reverted by <a href="/wiki/User:Remsense" title="User:Remsense">Remsense</a>; editors who introduce those kinds of errors, especially the agreement errors, should not be copyediting in English. In addition, Alexjos1858's edit is tagged "Newcomer task" and "Newcomer task: copyedit", but the only maintenance tag I see on the article relates to its referencing. Is this task force/editathon misinterpreting inclusion in the suggested tasks list as meaning the article needs copyediting? There's a specific category for that. "Copyediting" articles that haven't been flagged as needing it—and usually have been looked over by several editors with native or near-native English competency—is at best a wasted effort, and finding so many things to change in an article like that should have been a signal that maybe your group is doing copyediting wrong. This effort should be scrapped and rethought. <a href="/wiki/User:Yngvadottir" title="User:Yngvadottir">Yngvadottir</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Yngvadottir" title="User talk:Yngvadottir">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Yngvadottir-20241126033900-GiantSnowman-20241125164500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:39, 26 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Yngvadottir-20241126033900-GiantSnowman-20241125164500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Yngvadottir-20241126033900-GiantSnowman-20241125164500"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Fram-20241126094600-New_seemingly-related_group_of_good-faith_but_deleterious_West_African_copyedito"></span>And <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Computer_program&diff=prev&oldid=1259630474">this</a> is the latest edit from the person leading this editathon.

Moreover, I would assume that when you decide to change something in an article, you know exactly <i>why</i> and are be able to explain it without the need for an AI (which can only give a factual description of the changes and a guess as to what they try to achieve — something other editors could also come-up with simply by looking at the diff).</dd> <dd>The problem is that, in the case of your group (where many of edits were "change for the sake of change" — or, as ChatGPT would put it <i>"rewording of for clarity, conciseness, and structural consistency"</i>), it also suggests that some of the edits themselves were done using AI. As, as a matter of fact, I'm convinced I came across a few instances where the editor simply pasted a paragraph in ChatGPT, asking it to correct mistakes and improve it; and then copied the output in Wikipedia.</dd> <dd>Also: <i>"Once or twice, i think i have used AI to refine my edit summaries"</i> → I believe you are lying and that a few hours prior to writing this you had been using some AI to write way more more than two edit summaries; and same thing the day before that.

I wrote a lengthy comment above, laying out the English errors in two edits by different participants in your editathon. I see you continuing to thank people for explaining, here and on your talk page, but you have not said you understand that the grammar and syntax in the edits by the group are not good enough, and are not improvements but make the articles worse. I made the point that if an article is not tagged as needing copyedit, it probably doesn't need a copyedit anyway, and the fact that editors in your group—including you—see a need to make copyediting changes is a sign that your judgement of what is and is not good and clear English is poor. Since the disruption has continued and indeed has spread to articles recognised as among our best, the whole group should be p-blocked from article space, not just you. It's a pity, because en.wiki badly needs more articles on Nigerian topics, and more references to reliable sources in those we have. (Indeed both of those are needs not just in Nigerian topics.) But it does not need copyedits from people whose English is not up to the task. </p><div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div><p>I'm also disturbed by the middle paragraph of the passage at the top of <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Alexjos1858" title="User talk:Alexjos1858">User talk:Alexjos1858</a> (added by the editor on 29 October to start the page): <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">I am always open to collaborate with you reading this.

What I feel is, instead of just going about telling new editors or blocking them when they go against the rules right away, there should be a better way to address it. Because, majority of new editors are really genuine and becoming perfect at something, one has to make mistakes. I think experienced editors should serve as a guide and not threats to new editors. This way, new editors would feel at home and really contribute to this community.</dd> <dd>They may read the Manual of style several times and not understand it.

I recognize the harm I caused, and I am committed to facing my actions and working to regain the trust of this community. It has been around eight months or so since I was last blocked, and during this time, I deeply reflected on my actions and fully understood the gravity of my past violations. I also took the time to further educate myself on the do's and don'ts of Wikipedia in order to never repeat any of the same mistakes again. After waiting more than the mandatory six-month period since my block, I am now requesting the opportunity to appeal my ban through the WP:UNBAN process. </p><p>To provide some context and clarity, I’d like to explain how things went wrong. I began editing with my main account, <b>YousefSW07</b> , without a clear focus or understanding of Wikipedia's policies. My edits were indiscriminate, and I lacked knowledge about the topics I was editing. As a result, I made many mistakes, including engaging in edit wars and arguing with administrators, unaware that these actions were violations of community guidelines. When that account was blocked, I created <b>S Molecular</b> in an attempt to bypass the restrictions, stupidly thinking I could continue editing undetected. I engaged in more edit warring and was eventually banned and caught for sock puppetry. I now fully understand that I should not have done this whatsoever and there is no justification for what I did. </p><p>Instead of learning from my mistakes, I created several other accounts—<b>Burhim</b>, <b>Lybcarian</b>, <b>Walgart</b>, and <b>FazeTK</b>—thinking I could simply avoid violating the guidelines and escape detection. But I was wrong, and I was banned on all of these accounts as well. After a short period of time, I created <b>Baqiyah</b>, stupidly thinking that if I started fresh and followed the guidelines, I should be fine. I worked on creating new pages and made efforts to abide by the rules, but I was still a sockpuppet, I was then caught again, as I should have. </p><p>At this point, I took a break from editing and waited out the mandatory six-month period before appealing. Since then, I have spent additional time reflecting on the harm I caused and disciplining myself. I fully understand why I was banned multiple times, and I sincerely apologize for my actions and the disruption they caused to the community. </p><p>I now realize that true contribution to Wikipedia requires a commitment to the community's values (collaboration, transparency, and respect for policies). I am truly sorry for betraying those values in the past, and I am asking for the chance to prove that I can contribute constructively moving forward. I want to be an active, positive part of Wikipedia, working alongside other editors and adhering strictly to the rules. I also very much understand if there is any concern regarding my unban and am willing to answer any questions you may have. </p><p>I humbly ask for the opportunity to rejoin the community and contribute in a way that reflects the integrity and spirit of Wikipedia. </p><p>Thank you for considering my appeal.

a reference error, this 'removed' the blacklist link (by transforming the part of the text where it was in into the error) which in turn made the algorithm think the revert was 'readding' it.</dd>

I mostly use Twinkle myself, and I don't think I've ever seen reverts made from that be tagged as Rollback instead of Undo. <a href="/wiki/User:Alpha3031" title="User:Alpha3031">Alpha3031</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Alpha3031" title="User talk:Alpha3031">t</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Alpha3031" title="Special:Contributions/Alpha3031">c</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Alpha3031-20241127080800-Voorts-20241126220900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:08, 27 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alpha3031-20241127080800-Voorts-20241126220900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alpha3031-20241127080800-Voorts-20241126220900"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Determining_consensus" data-mw-thread-id="h-Determining_consensus-20241126205000"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Determining_consensus-20241126205000"></span>Determining consensus<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Determining_consensus-20241126205000"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: Determining consensus"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TonyTheTiger-20241126205000-Determining_consensus"></span>Over nine months ago at <a href="/wiki/Talk:Internet_celebrity#Splitting_article" title="Talk:Internet celebrity">Talk:Internet_celebrity#Splitting_article</a> I proposed splitting <a href="/wiki/Internet_celebrity" title="Internet celebrity">Internet celebrity</a> and <a href="/wiki/Influencer" class="mw-redirect" title="Influencer">Influencer</a> with <a href="/wiki/User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Influencer" title="User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Influencer">User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Influencer</a>.

If Aearthrise plans on just restarting the edit war, and plans on snidely replying to newbie questions while being wrong himself, then a page ban from Pennsylvania Dutch & Pennsylvania Dutch language may be in order.

This is a normal part of the editing process; if any Vlaemink's behavior here is more problematic.</li> <li>Poor use of sourcing. This might be where there is a pattern of problematic editing.

I said my piece in the previous discussion. I hope that people do not overly fault Vlaemink for long ANI posts. Just because someone is long-winded doesn't mean they are "wrong", and when I investigated the last time I found that Vlaemink was largely correct in everything they brought up. I remain concerned that Aearthrise's style of analysis and citation is simply not in keeping with Wikipedia expectations, in addition to the attitude and conduct issues. I will hesitantly suggest that Wikisource (for transcribing old books) and Wikibooks (for publishing "heritage" style history works) may be worth an investigation as an alternate place to apply this zeal for the kind of stuff that Aearthrise is interested in? But at the end of the day, if Aearthrise is on Wikipedia, he needs to comply with Wikipedia standards, which means using stuff like old historical documents very carefully, and working collaboratively with others. (Disclaimer: I have not closely examined Aerathrise's more <i>recent</i> conduct, so the above should be taken as related to Vlaemink's previous report + a few diffs from above. I could be convinced if someone wants to argue a deeper dive says otherwise.) <a href="/wiki/User:SnowFire" title="User:SnowFire">SnowFire</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SnowFire" title="User talk:SnowFire">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-SnowFire-20241127045000-Voorts-20241127020400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:50, 27 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SnowFire-20241127045000-Voorts-20241127020400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SnowFire-20241127045000-Voorts-20241127020400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Aearthrise-20241127064400-SnowFire-20241127045000"></span>Hello again SnowFire, it's good to hear from you; I hope you've been well.

Aearthrise's behavior at <a href="/wiki/Talk:California#California_name_header" title="Talk:California">Talk: California#California name header</a> has been bizarre, aggressive and incomprehensible. The editor has gotten the notion in their head that there is a non-existent ethnic group in California called the "California Cantonese" and a non-existent language also called "California Cantonese". The fact is that Cantonese immigrants and their descendants in California are not a separate group from similar Cantonese communities in Nevada, New York, New England or British Columbia. Although a search of the entire internet yields a few occasions when the words "California" and "Cantonese" exist side by side, the concept of "California Cantonese" as a distinct ethnic group or language exists only in Aearthrise's mind but not in the scholarly literature.

He doesn't use an older source incidentally, he uses these constantly; often with falsified publishing dates. When people (rightly) question his personal views and/or sources, he resorts to demeaning comments, spamming talk pages with what appear to be Ai-generated 'citations' (examples of which can be found in the discussion above), ignores Wikipedia policy and habitually resorts edit warring; driving away users who could have substantially improved this already niche-article. He's been doing this for about 2 years, basically unopposed until June of this year, when his behavior was called out. Instead of changing his ways, as many users implored him to do, he stopped editing the article for several months, only to return over the past days and continuing his disruptive and harmful MO as if nothing happened. Other users have pointed out his behavior isn't limited to the Pennsylvania Dutch article, but this is my primary concern and I would request that he be banned from editing this article; either permanently or at least until the article's reliability (as it is now) can be thoroughly evaluated, without Aearthrise being able to edit-war or spam other users while this is going on. </p><p><b>Diffs and examples:</b> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1256386598"> </p> <div style="margin-left:0"> <table class="mw-collapsible mw-archivedtalk mw-collapsed" style="color:inherit; background: transparent; text-align: left; border: 1px solid Silver; margin: 0.2em auto auto; width:100%; clear: both; padding: 1px;"> <tbody><tr> <th class="cot-header-other" style="; font-size:87%; padding:0.2em 0.3em; text-align:center;"><div style="font-size:115%;margin:0 4em">Problematic use of (unreliable, outdated and/or primary) sources, WP:SYNTH/WP:OR and WP:NPOV.</div> </th></tr> <tr> <td style="color:inherit; border: solid 1px Silver; padding: 0.6em; background: var(--background-color-base, #fff);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/User:47thPennVols" title="User:47thPennVols">47thPennVols</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:47thPennVols" title="User talk:47thPennVols">talk</a> <b>·</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/47thPennVols" title="Special:Contributions/47thPennVols">contribs</a>) expresses her concern about 5 sources that Aearthrise has provided, explaining that the publisher of some of these sources (Stackpole Books) are not considered to meet Wikipedia quality standards and going on to cite an academic review of one of the sources, which explicitly stated that it contained ″numerous errors″, ″interpretive and rhetorical overstatements″ and needed ″to be handled with care″ <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pennsylvania_Dutch&diff=next&oldid=1165031161">[50]</a>. <ul><li>Aearthrise's reply is ″<i>You are continually waffling and nitpicking, but you have not yet provided ONE source for your claim.

A pattern, which you have just now resumed without any noticeable changes.

The proposed page ban is not enough to solve the problem, I'm afraid. A ban on article space is in order because of the extensive misrepresentation and many falsehoods purveyed by Aearthrise in article space. The <a href="/wiki/California_Cantonese" title="California Cantonese">California Cantonese</a> article is a case in point, in which Aearthrise decided unilaterally that Chinese-heritage people speaking Cantonese in California were an ethnic group somehow differentiated from the same ethnic types who speak Mandarin or any of the minor languages of China. Aearthrise transformed the article from a history of Cantonese-speaking people in California to a mish-mash of Chinese settlement in California, based on the ethnic group infobox, using sources that may or may not mix in Mandarin-speaking Chinese, and may or may not include other US states.

The pages of the book you cited talk about Chinese-heritage members of a particular East Coast US church, as polled in 1976 and 1995. A table on page 343 shows that these are not California Chinese, nor are they primarily Cantonese speakers.

The basic idea being expressed was that American chinatowns were initially using the Taishanese language, then they transitioned to Cantonese, eventually changing to mainly Mandarin-speaking, but there are still other languages spoken by ethnic Chinese in American chinatowns. None of this was about California in particular.

The previous appeal was a non-starter, and this one cannot be as easily dismissed; it has been six months per the standard offer and they have made positive contributions to a sister project. DIVINE's simplewiki contributions are alright, but they are almost exclusively using Twinkle to nominate things for quick deletion (the simplewiki equivalent of CSD). By my count, there are 17 bluelinks in <a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DIVINE/QD_log" class="extiw" title="simple:User:DIVINE/QD log">their simple QD log</a>, out of 261 nominations, which is an error rate of ~6.5%. Those would not be amazing numbers at enwiki; not sure about simplewiki.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>However, I am not seeing a lot which demonstrates their ability to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ENGAGE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ENGAGE">communicate</a> effectively, which brings me back to this block appeal. It is not the best appeal I have read, and I think that we need to see something better from someone blocked in part due to English proficiency issues. I find a time-limited topic ban from AFD to be wholly insufficient to address the UPE concerns (taking bribes to !vote a specific way is a massive no-no). I am not going to stand in the way of an appeal which comes with an indefinite topic ban from all XfDs, broadly construed; a six month AFD topic ban is a nonstarter and the fact that this was the offer from DIVINE is a reason to reject this appeal. Same thing with a only-BLP-via-draftspace restriction; I think we should be looking at an indefinite BLP topic ban, broadly construed. The "never doxed anyone's identity" appears to refer <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1217072167/1217080018" title="Special:Diff/1217072167/1217080018">a comment of theirs</a> which was partially suppressed.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>I think on balance I recommend <b>declining</b>; the limited fluency is a real issue for engaging productively at enwiki. I think that simplewiki is a great place for DIVINE to contribute, considering their limited fluency in English, and I would encourage DIVINE to continue to contribute there. If this appeal is to be accepted, I think it should come with: <ol><li>An indefinite topic ban from BLPs, broadly construed</li> <li>An indefinite topic ban from XfD, broadly construed</li> <li>An indefinite topic ban from editing topics with which DIVINE has a COI</li></ol></li> <li class="mw-empty-elt"></li><li style="list-style:none;">But again, I think that considering the limited language fluency we should not spend more of our most previous resource – volunteer time – trying to coax DIVINE to edit within the rules. I am not sure we can get enough benefit to make it worthwhile.

I don't think either of these things are a concern, nor do I think is their English proficiency - they're clearly comprehensible, and we have never required anyone to have university-level English to edit here. It's evident (they've admitted) that they've engaged in undisclosed paid editing and have feuded on-wiki with other UPE operations, and I feel kind of the same as DFO and Blablubbs about the appeal addressing these things but I'm not quite ready to go full decline. Is there a restriction we could unblock to instead?

The issues with this user weren't limited to UPE and legal threats (which are bad enough on their own) or poor English skills. I'd invite people reviewing this request to read some past ANI threads involving DIVINE, such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive344#User:Robert_McClenon" title="Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive344">this one, which resulted in the revocation of their advanced permissions and a block for personal attacks</a>. My long-standing impression of this user has been that they are <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTCOMPATIBLE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTCOMPATIBLE">not compatible with a collaborative environment</a>, and I think that even some of the supportive comments above speak to this - if someone needs three topic bans to have a hope of making acceptable contributions, perhaps they should not be unblocked at all. It might make sense to forgive certain indiscretions if someone was regularly contributing high-quality content, but their contributions to simplewiki have been fairly scant and mostly consist of slapping speedy tags on things. Frankly this user has been a massive time sink, violated the terms of use, and abused others' trust, and nothing I have seen indicates that they will provide enough positive value to make up for it. <a href="/wiki/User:Spicy" title="User:Spicy">Spicy</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Spicy" title="User talk:Spicy">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Spicy-20241127210900-HouseBlaster-20241126234000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:09, 27 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Spicy-20241127210900-HouseBlaster-20241126234000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Spicy-20241127210900-HouseBlaster-20241126234000"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DIVINE-20241127215600-Spicy-20241127210900"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Spicy" title="User:Spicy">Spicy</a> Thank you for your comment on AN regarding my unblock request. When my permission was revoked due to my request regarding the 4th level warning. I requested to remove other permissions like rollback and PCR after that, as I am never a fan of PERMS; I keep them when I feel like I need them. In simplewiki, I slap with speedy deletion because I follow Wikipedia rules to slap because they create pages that are supposed to get deleted by me or any other reviewer that won’t change the fact. Additionally, I have created 70 pages. Helped more than 100 pages to add references on them and have fixed them. Have filed multiple SPIs with 100% accuracy if I believe and have fought against in anti-vandalism. Anyway, I don’t want to waste my time and yours writing this long essay.</dd> <dd>Let’s me break this down:</dd> <dd>1. The day I was blocked, my identity, my university, and even my professor's name were doxxed publicly in AN, and nobody cares, but I was blamed for doxxing another user's identity. And editors were praising another editor, calling them Sherlock.</dd> <dd>2. I am human, not a saint; i feel bad and i do have feelings too. Yes, I reacted every time. That’s why I am here requesting to get unblocked after 8 months, and I was punished with an indefinite block.</dd> <dd>3. What you need to accept is that I have made effective contributions, but what I will accept is that I had some attitude problems, but I never meant to do personal attacks against someone.</dd> <dd>4. I have already mentioned that if you want to block me forever, there is no problem; I will accept that, and don’t think I came here to get unblocked after slapping multiple CSDs on SimpleWiki. I was editing there before getting blocked on EnWiki, but I came to seek one more chance.</dd> <dd>5. Wikipedia is an open community for all, and yes, of course there will be debates and arguments, but when I come to seek help in AN for getting a 4th level warning, it comes from nowhere towards me like an arrow that turned out into personal attacks.</dd> <dd>6. I have already submitted multiple unblock requests previously mentioning all of those things before; that’s why I didn’t add much into this fresh request, as I wanted to forget all of those and move forward with positive thoughts and positive attitudes.</dd> <dd>7. I feel like I was tricked; I got blocked by Ivanvector, but it wasn’t per community vote, but when I requested to get unblocked, it was passed to the community, and I got six months to appeal the block, and when I am requesting now, I am facing more brutal charges than before.</dd> <dd>Anyway Thankyou for your kind comment but we never encountered previously. <a href="/wiki/User:DIVINE" title="User:DIVINE"><b style="color:#29F">DI</b><b style="color:red">V</b></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:DIVINE" title="User talk:DIVINE"><b style="color:#080">I</b><b style="color:#808">N</b></a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/DIVINE" title="Special:Contributions/DIVINE"><b style="color:#FA0">E</b></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-DIVINE-20241127215600-Spicy-20241127210900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:56, 27 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DIVINE-20241127215600-Spicy-20241127210900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DIVINE-20241127215600-Spicy-20241127210900"></span></dd></dl></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Article_moves,_disregard_for_conventions_and_WP:REDACT" data-mw-thread-id="h-Article_moves,_disregard_for_conventions_and_WP:REDACT-20241127061300"><span id="Article_moves.2C_disregard_for_conventions_and_WP:REDACT"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Article_moves,_disregard_for_conventions_and_WP:REDACT-20241127061300"></span>Article moves, disregard for conventions and WP:REDACT<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Article_moves,_disregard_for_conventions_and_WP:REDACT-20241127061300"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&action=edit&section=44" title="Edit section: Article moves, disregard for conventions and WP:REDACT"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/User:Teterev53" title="User:Teterev53"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mb2437-20241127061300-Article_moves,_disregard_for_conventions_and_WP:REDACT"></span>Teterev53</a> <span class="plainlinks">(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Teterev53" title="User talk:Teterev53">talk</a> <b>·</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Teterev53" title="Special:Contributions/Teterev53">contribs</a> <b>·</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/Teterev53" title="Special:DeletedContributions/Teterev53">deleted contribs</a> <b>·</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Log/Teterev53" title="Special:Log/Teterev53">logs</a> <b>·</b> <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAbuseLog&wpSearchUser=Teterev53">filter log</a> <b>·</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Block/Teterev53" title="Special:Block/Teterev53">block user</a> <b>·</b> <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog%2Fblock&page=User%3ATeterev53">block log</a>)</span></li></ul> <p><a href="/wiki/User:Teterev53" title="User:Teterev53">This user</a> has moved several articles to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OFFICIALNAME" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OFFICIALNAME">WP:OFFICIALNAMEs</a>, with clear disregard for article naming convention, even <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Teterev53&oldid=1259813448">deleting our discussion about it</a> and branding it as "nonsense".

Arguing about something that's essentially equivalent to a content dispute doesn't really require administrator intervention to resolve, but continuing to argue back and forth about it may lead to someone posting something that could lead to an administrator stepping in and taking some action. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Marchjuly" title="User:Marchjuly">Marchjuly</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Marchjuly" title="User talk:Marchjuly">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Marchjuly-20241127081300-Mb2437-20241127061300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Marchjuly-20241127081300-Mb2437-20241127061300"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Marchjuly-20241127081300-Mb2437-20241127061300"></span></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-EggRoll97-20241127082300-Mb2437-20241127061300"></span>I have reverted the moves to the three specified pages as an uninvolved page mover following a request to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RMTR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RMTR">WP:RMTR</a>. <a href="/wiki/User:Teterev53" title="User:Teterev53">Teterev53</a>, please open a requested move discussion regarding the matter.
