This year I heard the cantata in full for the first time; what an amazing first movement! It was performed at Bachfest while I was there, but unfortunately I couldn't make it to that concert because it was on the same day as the organ excursion ... oh to be in two places at once! (Hearing a historical baroque organ was one of my top priorities, but that cantata would've been good to hear live too). Re Goehr: indeed nice summary; I hadn't heard of them before.

Maybe a partial block on the article might have been better.</li> <li>Flight709: It wasn't their making several edits to each article that was the main probblem ... it was just their sloppy way of editing and yes, the deleted draft. I still stand by <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1244849550" title="Special:Diff/1244849550">this edit summary</a> on the edit that brought them to my attention ... it's like they were told to add random references everywhere to boost their cred. In the edit I linked, among other things, they changed the correct text "Farley has also written custom songs, generating $2,000 or more in revenue per month, but stopped doing this in 2021" to "Farley has also written over 24,000 songs, generating $2,000 or more in revenue per month, but stopped doing this in 2021", which is nonsense (and the part of the new text after "24,000 songs" is patently untrue).</li> <li>70.163.96.153: This is a long-term pattern of vandalism <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/516622488" title="Special:Diff/516622488">going back to 2008 (!)</a> Yeah, the IP might be reassigned to another user soon; I'll live with that one.</li> <li>96.57.100.74: Let's see what happens, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just go back to editing again in a month as if nothing has happened. Some IP's can be pretty persistent. I think the integrity of our content is more important than inconveniencing a couple of users. And especially the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation" class="extiw" title="m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation">changes to semi-obfuscate IP's</a> that will happen <a href="/wiki/Real_soon_now" title="Real soon now">real soon now</a> will make it a bit harder to track down IP editors.</li> <li>103.176.217.7: Same as above, for different reasons; school <s>editors</s> <ins>IP's</ins> are a blight on Wikipedia.</li> <li>2600:100C:A209:D108:0:0:0:0/64: Often /64's are assigned to one customer for a while; I wanted to make sure they wouldn't come back. /64's are harder to communicate with too; ironically the upcoming IP semi-obfuscation might help with that. Let's see what happens with this one.</li> <li>108.21.67.83: Probably fair enough. I raised it to five years because they complained that <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1244461125" title="Special:Diff/1244461125">three years was too long</a>; I shouldn't have gone down to their level to make a point.</li> <li>The next two /64's: The first one was probably an overreaction; I hold a dim view of editors who add non-notable people to articles like that. The fact that <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1244408985" title="Special:Diff/1244408985">they knew to add a mayor parameter</a> raised my suspicions, I think.

Although I recently just declined their unblock appeal, coming back to it I don't think there was enough justification for blocking them in the first place. As a new editor, they added themselves to WikiProjects and created a user page for themselves with their first edits. While you are right that those early edits are suspicious, it is never a valid reason to block someone. People who already know how Wikipedia works won't make suspicious edits on day one (cc <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/693434393" title="Special:Diff/693434393">Special:Diff/693434393</a>), and if they are returning, they won't try to attract attention by clearly violating <a href="/wiki/MOS:OVERLINK" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:OVERLINK">MOS:OVERLINK</a> across many articles. </p><p>So I think someone should have actually told them to stop adding unuseful internal links.

Up past my bedtime but can't sleep, so forgive me if any of this is unpolished. </p><p>I hope you know that I've always admired you as a person, as an editor, and as an admin, through our many dealings over the years. I've also made a rule, ever since one time I got this wrong as a newer editor, against letting my friendship with someone prevent me from seeing where they've screwed up, especially as regards admin tools. Relatedly, I recall <a href="/wiki/User:Zero0000" title="User:Zero0000">Zero0000</a> coming to my usertalk at a time when I'd screwed up and giving me advice that stood out from others' comments for being entirely calm, and not having the aura of politicking, while still being clear that I had indeed screwed up. </p><p>I know that you share my interest in desysops, being the main maintainer of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FORMER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FORMER">WP:FORMER</a>. For me, that interest has extended to reading every ArbCom desysop since around 2012, and to playing a role in 5 desysops myself. Now I'm not saying you are or aren't in that territory yet, but it's the vantage point from which I tend to view all admin conduct issues, given that background. Now, what I've found across all of these cases is something of a paradox: Getting desysopped is very easy, and avoiding it is even easier. No one has ever been desysopped after fully allocuting to their mistakes; and yet, many people have been desysopped when that was all they had to do. Maybe that says something good about Wikipedians' honesty. Maybe it says something bad about ArbCom's gullibility. The "Lourdes" case was fixing to be our first case that broke this rule, the first time that ArbCom would say "sorry" isn't enough... but then that one went rather differently so we'll never know for sure. </p><p>Assessing the exact situation you're in, to your credit you have acknowledged fault in several regards. However, reading the ANI thread today, even with some level of underlying bias in your favor, things look bad. There appears to be a fundamental disconnect between you and your critics, and your responses so far haven't yet captured that. </p><p>Something happens to editors sometimes that I've always found very unfortunate: They start doing something that they think is right, and no one tells them otherwise, so they do it more and more, and then suddenly one day they're dragged to ANI as "User X has made 5,000 horrible edits". A similar thing can happen to admins who spend a lot of time adminning in areas with limited peer review, such as antivandalism. It seems to me that your sense of an admin's role with respect to new users and IPs is very different than the community's sense. In a lot of ways I think that is a structural failure on the part of a community that demands results of antivandal admins without showing much interest in seeing how the sausage gets made, a community that has never seemed too interested when I've brought up bad antivandalism blocks I encountered. But in other ways, dear friend, it is a failure on your part—a failure to listen to feedback in past threads, and a failure to grasp the breadth of the disconnect now. </p><p>Where do we go from here? Well one option, favored by many admins, is to disregard feedback like this and eventually have your name added to the list you've maintained all these years. Another option is to accept that this kind of adminning might not be, in HR terms, a "strength area" of yours. After the aforementioned incident in which Zero intervened, that's what I did, quietly recusing myself from complex edit wars for the duration of my admin career. A third option is to really, deeply meditate on what the disconnect is. Principally it's that your error tolerance is a couple orders of magnitude removed from the community's. We may all accept, by sheer mathematical necessity, that over the course of enough blocks every admin will eventually block someone who didn't deserve it. But this is expected to be a freak occurrence, not something where an audit of your recent blocks could turn up quite a few that are questionable or outright incorrect. Clearly, if you wish to keep blocking users, you need to realign yourself with the community's sense of how blocks should work. </p><p>And I can't help you with that bit. That's something that comes from reflection, and understanding, and then writing earnestly. All things I know you are capable of. But then again, I think most of the admins whose names you and I have added to FORMER were capable of it too. </p><p>It feels wrong to lecture someone I've learned a lot from over the years. But that's why I'm doing this. You are an asset to Wikipedia, and a lot of the best work you do involves having the mop. I hope these slightly delirious 3AM thoughts are of some use.

It's a lot to take in and there's a lot to think about. I think the third option (or some combination of the second and third) would be best for me, naturally, but getting there will take some work. I never really set out to be an anti-vandalism admin (and I'm still not one in the traditional sense ... that would be madness for me,especially now!) Most of my watchlist consists of articles that aren't being actively or sufficiently watched but even articles I created aren't immune to drive-by unusual editing ... this particular episode started with <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1192113421" title="Special:Diff/1192113421">this edit</a> to <a href="/wiki/John_Kestel" title="John Kestel">John Kestel</a>, one of my Paralympic articles.

I'm simplifying, but that's a good enough explanation for now). What you were affected by is probably a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RANGEBLOCK" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RANGEBLOCK">rangeblock</a> (i.e. a block of many IP addresses at once, to try to catch very disruptive users whose IP addresses often change). The problem with them is that they can catch out innocent users, like what happened in your case. You can edit anything now (if you couldn't you wouldn't be able to edit my talk page), but I'd strongly advise that you create an account (though it's not mandatory), because it has <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_create_an_account%3F" title="Wikipedia:Why create an account?">several advantages</a>, including better communication, the ability to use a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WATCHLIST" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WATCHLIST">watchlist</a> to track changes that you're interested in, and immunity from blocks that affect users with accounts. For better or worse, editors with accounts are often treated better here because most vandals don't have one; a famous quote goes "<a href="/wiki/User:Mgasparin/My_Thoughts_on_Wikipedia#Zen_and_the_art_of_Wikipedia_Maintenance" title="User:Mgasparin/My Thoughts on Wikipedia">... Trying to make serious edits to Wikipedia as an IP editor is like blindly blundering through the countryside on the first day of hunting season dressed like a moose</a>". The reason I thought you had an account is that you said that I'd blocked you indefinitely and IP addresses aren't blocked indefintely; to know the exact answer to your question, I'd need to know the IP address that was in your initial block message ... but I appreciate that would be hard to figure out at this point. <a href="/wiki/User:Graham87" title="User:Graham87">Graham87</a> (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#top">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Graham87#c-Graham87-20240929103400-2.84.222.156-20240929100400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Graham87-20240929103400-2.84.222.156-20240929100400"><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-Graham87-20240929103400-2.84.222.156-20240929100400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-2.84.222.156-20240930051400-Graham87-20240929103400"></span>Ok thanks! <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/2.84.222.156" title="Special:Contributions/2.84.222.156">2.84.222.156</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:2.84.222.156" title="User talk:2.84.222.156">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Graham87#c-2.84.222.156-20240930051400-Graham87-20240929103400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:14, 30 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-2.84.222.156-20240930051400-Graham87-20240929103400"><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-2.84.222.156-20240930051400-Graham87-20240929103400"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="User:Skatevortex_"block"" data-mw-thread-id="h-User:Skatevortex_"block"-20240930015200"><span id="User:Skatevortex_.22block.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-User:Skatevortex_"block"-20240930015200"></span><a href="/wiki/User:Skatevortex" title="User:Skatevortex">User:Skatevortex</a> "block"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-User:Skatevortex_"block"-20240930015200"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Graham87&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: User:Skatevortex "block""><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-Mach61-20240930015200-User:Skatevortex_"block""></span>You posted a block message to their talk page, and seemed to imply some sort of UPE/sock issue, but their [Special:Log/block&page=User%3ASkatevortex block log] is empty, and they edited in mainspace after you issued the message.

I've added over 20 new sources to <a href="/wiki/Curry" title="Curry">curry</a>, extending the article with history to show how multicultural it is with Persian, Portuguese, Dutch, Anglo-Indian, and finally British influences. `mkund is, confusingly, quoting bits of the article which actually contradict his claim that it's all Indian to prove his case. It's rather difficult to argue against someone who seems to ignore logic and reliable sources. Would you mind taking a look?

I have checked a few of his cited sources and some (at least those I have checked) are indeed valid and correct. For example, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Responsible_Parenthood_and_Reproductive_Health_Act_of_2012&curid=28770788&diff=1255500584&oldid=1255074283">this reverted edit of his</a> is completely valid since the sources he added indeed support the text in the article. The changes in the section names are also valid as those titles are written in the law itself. If I may suggest, please double-check the sources of those edits of his that you have reverted, since I believe some are actually valid.

I was going to ask you something but it seemed premature with the field of battle still littered. The work that you do on the history of Wikipedia, are there any tools that you had as an administrator that are essential to continue the project? If so, can those be given to you as stand-alone tools? Thanks. A little early to offer words of encouragement, but I'll do so anyway: yay! Free of the burden of administration and now a free-range editor, you can apply your time on Wikipedia to anything you'd like and offer comments in discussions that you probably couldn't do as an admin.

History merges and deletions/undeletions (and the ability to view old deleted revisions) are helpful for my deep-diving in to the history of Wikipedia, but there's no way to unbundle those, so I'll just have to ask admins for help when necessary (which honestly shouldn't be too often).

I think most of your supporters had their hearts in the right place offering moral support for you, but the vast majority have never experienced a harsh block or strict restrictions so they have no clue what a humiliating ask it is of you and your admin position to give that up. Believe me, if you ever knew what it was like to be under the thumb of restrictions with opposers using them against you at every turn you would happily take the alternative sacrifice because they will find ways to use them against you that you would never see coming or never expect so even if you think you are doing everything right would be of no help to you.

The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Importer" class="extiw" title="meta:Importer">meta page about the permission</a> doesn't even provide a way for English Wikipedia users to obtain the right unless a policy for doing so is created. </p><p>I voted in support of you, but your RRfA wasn't successful and you have resigned in direct response to community feedback about a lack of trust for holding all the adminship permissions. </p><p>So while I personally would be still fine with you being an admin, I believe that in this situation, keeping the (upload)importer permission isn't a choice you can make. Please consider asking for its removal at <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions#Removal_of_access" class="extiw" title="meta:Steward requests/Permissions">meta:Steward_requests/Permissions#Removal_of_access</a>. If this results in a problem due to a lack of importers on the English Wikipedia, that is something to be separately addressed in my opinion, and not something to be fixed by an effectively community-desysopped administrator keeping the right. </p><p>Best regards,<br/> <a href="/wiki/User:ToBeFree" title="User:ToBeFree">~ ToBeFree</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:ToBeFree" title="User talk:ToBeFree">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Graham87#c-ToBeFree-20241121002600-The_(upload)importer_permission" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ToBeFree-20241121002600-The_(upload)importer_permission"><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-ToBeFree-20241121002600-The_(upload)importer_permission"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-20241121032500-ToBeFree-20241121002600"></span>Do you really have to kick Graham87 when he's down and threaten to make things worse for everyone? <a href="/wiki/User:Pppery" title="User:Pppery">* Pppery *</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Pppery" title="User talk:Pppery"><sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Graham87#c-Pppery-20241121032500-ToBeFree-20241121002600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Pppery-20241121032500-ToBeFree-20241121002600"><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-Pppery-20241121032500-ToBeFree-20241121002600"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-ToBeFree-20241121110800-Pppery-20241121032500"></span>That is obviously not my intention. <a href="/wiki/User:ToBeFree" title="User:ToBeFree">~ ToBeFree</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:ToBeFree" title="User talk:ToBeFree">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Graham87#c-ToBeFree-20241121110800-Pppery-20241121032500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ToBeFree-20241121110800-Pppery-20241121032500"><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-ToBeFree-20241121110800-Pppery-20241121032500"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Graham87-20241121035200-ToBeFree-20241121002600"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:ToBeFree" title="User:ToBeFree">ToBeFree</a>:</span> I initially felt similarly to you (search for the words "thought about" in my <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_recall/Graham87" title="Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Graham87">admin recall petition</a>), but as the processes went on, I realised that my importation work is a unique and uncontroversial way I can contribute to Wikipedia, especially with my work relating to 2001 databases.
