The Special Barnstar | |
For literally being a special editor and a source of inspiration to me for four solid years and counting. Celestina007 (talk) 19:55, 24 May 2021 (UTC) |
- @Celestina007: I'm only grateful for one thing—that whatever happens in the future, I've been lucky enough to have had the chance to watch you grow and develop onto one of our strongest contributors—front and back of house—while not shying away from the sensitive areas needing a nuanced touch. Keep up the (very!) good work! ——Serial 18:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- You know when your superiors at work make a remarkable comment about you and you literally can not at that moment articulate a proper response that mirrors your inner feelings, that’s me right now. I literally do not have the right words to use to appreciate this statement. Celestina007 (talk) 19:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Oromia Region
You are not looking my suggestion in the talk page and I cite sources for my assertion. I also gave reason repeatedly that the subject talks about a particular region, thus implying capitalization as proper name. There are also a lot of regions in Ethiopia that take capitlized name. The miniscule region is not retained to Oromia region as the subject talks the particular region name in Ethiopia. I also agreed to replace with Oromia (region) if neither Region nor region are compatible with naming convention. The Supermind (talk) 14:32, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- @The Supermind: I'm afraid that's not to the point. The point is that, per procedure, there was a move request which—while you took part in it—your proposal received no traction, and a clear consensus for the page title in its present format was established by a neutral closer. As I said at MR/T, and at your talk page, you cannot "contest" an established consensus by simply reverting it: in the knowledge that things might change, another move request might establish a different result. But as I also suggested, another request of the same kind so soon after the previous one will, frankly, probably be seen as simply disruptive. ——Serial 14:42, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Update: Ah, you thought you'd go ahead and request a move anyway. Interesting... ——Serial 15:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

They're very twee, and I don't think anyone could ever have called her that! The problem, I guess, is that we only have "one" way of doing these kind of things, when of course we haven't only got "one" sort of editor. Is that making sense?

re ARC
Hi. With the move to Liberia for IRC and the clerk mailing list taking 4 hours to process my email, it took a while for me to get approval from an arb to remove as premature. It has been done so now. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:17, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- Cheers Dreamy Jazz. Hope I wasn't too blunt; it certainly wasn't the fault of any one individual. Excepting your striking mailman perhaps :) But it's frustrating to see such a (potential) timesink be so easily started. Is placing WP:RFAR under semi- or even extended confirmed protected a "perennial discussion"? Or not, by any chance...? Thanks for your help. ——Serial 16:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- I do get it and you were not too blunt, my message was mainly to let you know it had been removed.
- Perhaps semi or even ec protection might stop case requests being filed, but it would also prevent those users from commenting. Although the Arbitration Committee pages in general are only edited by autoconfirmed editors, experienced editors who have preferred to use IPs would need to make edit requests to comment. Filing parties to case requests which are then accepted should be autoconfirmed at the time of filing as the previous dispute resolution should mean they have made enough edits and spent enough time to at least get autoconfirmed.
- However, page protection isn't the only thing which could be used to prevent non autoconfirmed / extended confirmed editors from filing case requests. One thought I had in response to your comment was using a edit filter which catches the filing of case requests by non-autoconfirmed editors. I'm not sure if disallowing would be accepted by the community at large, but perhaps setting one which warns for the time being until consensus from the arbitrators and/or community could be gained. This would allow another banner to be shown for non-autoconfirmed users which reminds them to use the talk page, go to ANI etc. first. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 17:56, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks DJ. I realise, you're correct about blocking respected IPs (and obviously, there are a few of them), which would be unfair and potentially stifle productive input where it was (at that point in time) most needed. But the edit filter... that sounds a good idea, although I've no idea how that would work in practice. (Mainly due to technical non-ability!) I guess if an EF immediately alerted all arbs and clerks they could shut it down with the minimum of delay, but I don't see how other editors except those with the EF would ever know! Anyway, let me know if you ever get any traction with this, I'd be interested in discussing it further. Cheers, ——Serial 18:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- The edit filter would either let us know via a log, warn the user about filing the case request by preventing their save once while also logging the attempted / made edit, or disallow them from filing the case request while also logging this disallowed edit. The log would be publicly accessible, and would show up in per user edit filter logs (for example if I was non-autoconfirmed and tried to file a case it would show up in my abuse filter log) and a log which contains all edits which hit that filter. I'll see if I can set something up to log for now. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 21:02, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- Said filter has been created, and I think you can view it at Special:AbuseFilter/1153 Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 21:23, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- I've just realized that ARC is already semi-protected *facepalm*. I'll make the edit filter use extended confirmed instead. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 21:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Good faith?
Why should I assume people are acting in good faith when nothing about their actions indicates that they are? Suttonpubcrawl (talk) 15:26, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
- (a) because it's expected of you here; and (b) because you can catch more flies with honey, etc. Thank you for your work on that article, but it was still in need of a lot of work (as Black Kite said kind of unkindly at that unnameable site)—which I and others have now mucked in and done a bit of; if you assume bad faith of everybody and don't even give a coherent "Keep" rationale based on the notability criteria, you're less likely to get such help for the article you want to save, let alone persuading others in the discussion (for the vast majority of articles taken to AfD, only those who've already worked on the article will have heard of the topic. Persuasion, not outrage for others' not sharing your particular background and interests.) Serial Number 54129 is actually one of the good'uns, a very useful friend in a pinch. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:29, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- I see what you're saying, it's just incredibly frustrating when there are two editors who are friends and obviously working in concert to get a page deleted, giving spurious reasons to do so. Even the most cursory look over the page and its references reveals that it clearly meets notability criteria. Then adding in stuff about me being a single purpose account? Please. This sort of thing is what really puts ordinary people (and I'd probably class myself in that category) off editing Wikipedia, because users who know all the technical and administrative tricks can and do act in bad faith, then hide behind spurious references to policies that they themselves surely must know they aren't really complying with. It leaves you feeling like you're dealing with a Kafkaesque bureaucracy, with players who know the game able to behave in ways you aren't simply because you don't know how to cheat. Anyway, I've calmed down now and added a concise response to the deletion discussion Suttonpubcrawl (talk) 07:34, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
June thanks
Thank you for missing and reformation, with some impressions of places, flowers and music for you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Removing newsletters from retired users' talkpages
Hi, it seems we have a bit of disagreement over this. I tend to remove such newsletters - and unsubscribe the users - as since they are retired, the talkpage is presumably not going to be read by them. Instead, it exists to serve the general editing community - and following that, newsletters are irrelevant to most people (and those who wish to receive them should subscribe themselves). TPO isn't really relevant as these aren't comments left by an actual person. It's a bot message, if people really care, it's available in the page history. Elli (talk | contribs) 12:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- That 'presumably' is doing one heluva lot of heavy lifting there; I don't think you should assume any such thing. I also think you should respect other editors' user pages, at least until it is clear that they have actually retired (and not simply placed {{Retired}} in a fit of emotion, which, due to the circumstances, could very well be the case). In a minority of cases–where a user has long since ceased editing–I agree that stripping pages of bot-notices, newsletters etc., is a good thing, but our default position be that the talk page remains under the stewardship of its editor. It's certainly not forus to randomly judge what they may/may not want.I suggest you cease
tend[ing] to remove such newsletters
in line with WP:NOBAN. This certainly includes creating archive pages which you then redirect ([1], [2]) to your own user space—what in Sam Hill?! ——Serial 13:02, 21 June 2021 (UTC)you then redirect ([1], [2]) to your own user space—what in Sam Hill?!
you don't need to diff me here lol, I thought I explained that. I assumed that an archive existed and would prefer to archive instead of blank. Upon seeing there wasn't an archive that already existed, I decided not to keep the one I had just created. I could've just as easily tagged for G7 instead of moving to my userspace with the exact same effect (except confusing you, apparently).- I tend to assume that people who claim to have retired have actually retired and treat them accordingly, unless they have a previous pattern of acting otherwise. I only do this on talkpages I come across, though, I'm not seeking out pages to do this on - it's usually because the messages got in my way. I don't see a good reason for why keeping the messages there improves the encyclopedia, vs removing them. Elli (talk | contribs) 13:11, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- You make an awful lot of assumptions, very few of them based on anything more concrete than your personal preferences, it seems. Among things that improve the encyclopedia, I would count editor retention and an maintaining a collegial atmosphere towards those who may have left or be taking a break. In other words, keep their pages how they left them and assume nothing but good faith. It's literally none of our business, and if they do come back, we are hardly encouraging them by making them trawl through their own history.By the way, the diffs above were not for your benefit, but for the handful of experienced editors who watch this page. HTH. ——Serial 13:21, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
keep their pages how they left them and assume nothing but good faith
their talkpage didn't have the message on it when they retired, did it? And I did assume good faith - that they were honest and genuine about their retirement. Elli (talk | contribs) 13:28, 21 June 2021 (UTC)...keep[ing] their pages how they left them
clearly implies "receiving such newsletters, etc., as they personally signed up for". And that you're removing things from another user's page because because they get in your way is bizarre and inappropriate. In any case, I think we're done here: you've provided no policy or guideline that allows you to edit other user's talk pages, so if you wish to contest my edits, I suggest you file at the appropriate notice board. Best, ——Serial 13:34, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) Since (talk page watcher) is/are mentioned: Elli STOP! Do not do these things again. Serial Num is correct here, and you can consider this a formal warning. Do NOT go mucking about other people's talk pages such as is described above. Do NOT remove other editors posts on pages which are not in your name space, bot or not. Do NOT move their talk archives. Retired does NOT give anyone the right to act in their stead. If you continue to do these things, there's a very real chance you will be blocked. I hope this is now clear to you. — Ched (talk) 13:36, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Once upon a time
... you told me you may be able to find more sources on Nepal for me. I was wondering if the offer still stood. And, of course, posting this here, in case your TPWs have something.
In general, any sources on Nepal-related topics would do. We've only got History of Nepal (not in an ideal shape) and I'm planning to build sub-articles we ought to have. Specifically, right now, I wish I had a more or less current source on Name of Nepal. I have a tertiary source from 1983 which gives me an idea of what the situation was back then, and what's due and what's not. I have a hunch that no progress has been made toward identifying the etymology of Nepal since then, but if I had a recent source on the topic that said no new thing, I could be sure that the article is complete, and rewrite it with that in mind, and publish it. Best wishes, Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:14, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hey, Usedtobecool, hope you're well. Now then. I can't remember saying that at all! <g> But I took a module on Nepalese history a while back, so yes, I was probably thinking on the strength of that. I could send you what I can still find. Not sure I ever looked into the etymological aspect of the name, unfortunately, but it certainly sounds like an interesting area of research. Let me have a dig around; if I can find the folder, I'll ping you an email. Thanks for popping in! ——Serial 14:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- I should say that you've already sent me DR Regmi's books (I think they include 5,7,9,10,11 from Dilli Raman Regmi#Historian) (he guesses that prehistoric Nepalese probably cultivated maize, among other things, which I thought was interesting ), they are an excellent source. Thanks! Usedtobecool ☎️ 16:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Righto Usedtobecool, I've put together a folder: unfortunately it probably duplicates the Regmi pieces, as I kind of lost track of what I had/hadn't already got. However, there's lots more besides—over 30 things @ 900MB :) on its way! ——Serial 17:19, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Ben Comeau
Might as well tell you where I am with this - the only good sources I can find are this and this and a trivial passing mention in this - that's about it. A shame, because I have wanted to put "DYK ... that Ben Comeau thinks Donald Trump is a wanker and Boris Johnson is a lying shit?" on the main page for .... quite some time.

Good to see you around again
I considered commenting on the FAC, but I'm still a bit terrified of the place. Hope you're well. Vaticidalprophet 02:53, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Vaticidalprophet: And I thank you. As someone recently pointed out, my activity over the last year does rather look as though my parole keeps getting pulled. But thanks for waving that bone in my face and then taking it away again :p I'm surprised you'd be worried about reviewing at FAC; reviewers, I find, tend to find themselves the ones in the positions of power, usually, unless they make completely unreasonable demands (which in itself can be left to the co-ords to give due weight to...and ignore). FWIW, I'm surprised not to have seen any of your stuff listed there yet (yes, Prehistoric religion, I'm looking at you)—many of your articles are only a spit and polish away from potential FA status, and they're particularly original and eclectic topics. Think on it, perhaps.Thanks for the hello, in any case :) ——Serial 15:15, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- I did have an article listed there at one point; "it went well for the first two months and then didn't", might be the best way to put it. I suspect I'll come back with a smaller topic next time (medical articles have their own lore). I hope your parole doesn't get pulled again :) Vaticidalprophet 21:42, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
Your e-mail
I've blocked Check-wikifi-here. I would have done it earlier, but I had to get some technical information on how the Thanks button works once a user is blocked.

Excuse me, that was not very civil.
Why did you remove that tag, and give that warning? The talk page was moved elsewhere, and will be returned once this is deleted. I am trying to get a content dispute off my talk page, as I can't be bothered arbitrating over it any longer. if you have the technical ability to delete this page, please do so. Then the talk page will be restored. it is currently hanging out at User Talk:The Alternate Mako/Moved Mako001 (talk) 15:57, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- @The Alternate Mako: That is completely bizarre, and out of process. Redirecting your talk page to the main page, really. If you don't want editors posting at your talk, just tell them per WP:NOBAN and if they do not honour your request except for required notices, file them at WP:ANI. And, like it or not, all you've now done is archive your talk page to a subpage which makes the new page you've created your talk page which as I have already said, are not usually deleted (WP:DELTALK) in order to keep the history.All of this pallava could have been avoided if you had only asked someone (WP:TEAHOUSE, WP:HELPDESK are at Least two places where you will get a more polite reply than here) as to your next move. ——Serial 16:08, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

ANI query
Hi SN - hope you are well and a happy new year. Per your propsal at ANI, which was enforced, you stated in your opening line "perhaps 500 words? —which is the minimum accepted at WP:DYK so has a precedent". I've had a quick look at WP:DYK, and it doesn't mention 500 words anywhere, but 1,500 characters (WP:DYKCRIT, point 2). Do you have any objections on my restriction being changed to match the DYK standard that you initially suggested? I doubt some of my better articles(!) would pass the 500 word limit, such as this, this and this, but they'd pass the DYK requirements (on length). Happy to discuss.
Also @Spartaz: as the closer of that thread.
Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Lugnuts, and I hope I'm not a complete hypocrite for wishing you and yours a happy new year too. Yes, please do get the change in restriction effected if you can—it was that DYK criterion I was intending, and I apologise for misleading you (and ANI for that matter!). Please let me know if I need to reaffirm this anywhere, any time. All the best! SN54129 — Review here please :) 18:11, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ahh, that's good to see. Easy to flip 500/1500! I've let Spartaz know about my post here, so hopefully they can update this to reflect this. No hypocrisy either - all is good. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- The term word was used twice in the proposal and rereading the discussion and noting the number of users advocating for a total ban on article creation, there was clearly no consensus that less than a total ban would fly unless substantial articles were produced. Regardless of the original meaning, the concept that gripped was a substantial article and multiple users endorsed 500 words. I don’t feel comfortable arbitrarily changing it to characters as that wasn’t the consensus of the discussion. If you want to shorten it, I think you need a fresh consensus and should open a thread at AN. Spartaz Humbug! 18:53, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing
On 13 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the taxi driver in the Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing was later commended for "incredible presence of mind and bravery"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

But I basically just wrote the original article; many moons ago I realised that any article put forward for ITN would be taken over, not so much by gatekeepers, but by trivialistas and this hasn't proved me wrong.

Llywelyn the Elder
Hi, thanks for the alteration, you were right about a common name, I was a bit confused doing research into the naming of Llywelyn and suppose I left a flaw to catch up on. I would like to bring it to your attention that Elder Llywelyn is actually Llywelyn Fawr, and this name has been taken by Llywelyn the Great, who is not actually 'Fawr', and someone has potentially made a mistake in naming these articles. This assumption can be verified through references : Llywelyn Fawr - Pierce, Thomas Jones. "LLYWELYN FAWR and LLYWELYN FYCHAN (fl. early 13th century). lords of Merioneth". Dictionary of Welsh Biography. National Library of Wales. Llywelyn the Great - Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1888). . Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 16. London: Smith, Elder & Co. p. 831. , Lee, Sidney, ed. (1893). . Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 34. London: Smith, Elder & Co. pp. 7–13. , Pierce, Thomas Jones (1959). "LLYWELYN ap IORWERTH". Dictionary of Welsh Biography. National Library of Wales. Officially at no stage in these references or any others found online is Llywelyn the Great name Fawr, however in the very few sources avaialble for Llywlyn the Elder he is named Fawr, eg. Myth of Llywelyn Fawr. There's some resarch into the topic, I've also opened discussions on relevant talk pages to try and get a general consensus. Cltjames (talk) 10:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

- Thanks for this Modussiccandi, and also for kickstarting it in the first place. What I noticed was that the original merge (so-called) discussion comprised one editor's proposal—in which the topic's notability was actually admitted!—a "go ahead" from a <300 edit account, and no notifications to any relevant project pages whatsoever. Slam-dunk merge!I don't want to tread on your toes, but there's a bit more I'd like to add (not much—just a few unused sources). I don't know about you, but I reckon there's an FA in there, eventually; thoughts? SN54129 12:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't believe the bot can handle them well, though (the bot in general is rather on its last legs, although someone I've promised to ping every time it comes up until he's finished >:) is working on a replacement), so they tend to be informally done by adding a "[name] is co-nominator" to the |note= section of the GAN template. The unofficial status also means they don't get registered properly on WP:WBGAN, but that can be manually done if it's any sort of concern. Vaticidalprophet 13:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

- Ealdgyth is your go-to expert editor on mediaeval history. In terms of GA reviews, one person has to start it, and one person has to take responsibility for closing it. Beyond that, in theory, anything goes. For example, Talk:Elham Valley Railway/GA1 was largely undertaken by other people than the reviewer. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:45, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks Ritchie333; obvs, I'll do the Pepsi challenge with anyone on (late) medieval history—although not denying it might be a bit of a stretch call Worms late med—but it sounds like an "anything goes" GAN could be a goer! Cheers mate :) SN54129 13:56, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

- Thanks a lot. Please feel free to add as much content as you want! And yes, I agree the topic has lots of potential. It might be at GA level already. Is there there such a thing as a joint GA nomination? I know it exists for FAC, but I'm not sure I've seen it for GA. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 13:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

@Modussiccandi: Hi again! Re. the joint GA nom, would you like to look over the article and see if you think its about ready? I wanted to leave it a few weeks back then, so that it becomes fresh again. What do you think? Hope all's well. SN54129 19:41, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for notifying me! I have to say that I don't feel a joint GA nomination can be justified at this point: you have contributed much more to this article than I have; all I did really is start it with the most important information. You should do the nomination on your own. Regarding the quality of the article, I think it's in good shape for the GA review: it's comprehensive, well sourced, stable, well illustrated etc. I'm glad you took this article to where it is now.

thank you today for the article, introduced: "A return to FAC after a year away. Where does it go, etc. But here's a thing that was brought to GA by the thorough review of T. Riley, of this parish, and should be ready for the next stage. Another—if slightly later—medieval parliament—the King wanted money, both lords and commons refused until he got rid of a few scroungers, he refused, and all hell burst out. Hey, parliament was nearly invited for dinner and poisoned by the King, how's that for a healthy political relationship?"! - Sorry, I missed the FAC, meant to go ... -- Happy 2022!

RFC on splitting "Airlines and Destinations" out from articles
I believe it would have been beneficial to allow the discussion to run for the full 30 days; even if no additional editors comment, there is no harm in it. As such, I would ask that you revert your close. BilledMammal (talk) 15:15, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

- Well, per WP:RFC, 30 days is purely the time given by the bot to
avoid a buildup of stale discussions cluttering the lists and wasting commentators' time
; but indeed, editors are actively encouraged tonot wait for that
if, for instance, a discussion is stale. Or in this case, one which has not been replied to in nearly a fortnight could well be assumed to be so. Cheers, SN54129 15:40, 8 February 2022 (UTC)- Discussions "waste commenters time" when there is a clear consensus that is unlikely to change. In this case, additional commenters could result in a consensus being determined, meaning that the time already invested would not have been wasted. As such, I believe it is more appropriate to leave it open for the full thirty days. BilledMammal (talk) 15:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

An RfC should last until enough comment has been received that consensus is reached, or until it is apparent that it won't be.

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi. As is being discussed at Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#AFC_and_NPP_-_is_there_a_"rights_conflict"? at the moment, when an autopatrolled AfC reviewer accepts an article it is automatically market as patrolled. This article is a good example of one that should be marked as unreviewed - it needed quite a bit of cleanup, was uncategorised etc.

- Well, they're distinct processes, and I'm not sure one project can dictate the duties of another. It's certainly an interesting discussion (although, in its current state, seems likely to tail off into oblivion before any kind of firm proposal is made, let alone consensus come to).

- @Girth Summit: Nooo—! Tried that myself once, and as you say, thus is the path to madness. The twinkle form froze and the only way of getting out of it was to refresh, which of course lost the info (a shame that editing windows save one's work but dialogue-style boxes (not of the tech term?) do not...). But it's probably my machine; I generally have a mortal number of windows and/or tabs open at any one time, so something often has to give :) thanks for dealing with it so quickly though, especially before the AfD finishes. (By the way, I edit conflicted with there, also doing the sock strike; if you don't mind I kept the little template in, and debolded the !vote, so as not to mislead (?) the script.)SN54129 18:17, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

JBchrch's mediation request
Hi Serial Number, how are you doing? Perhaps you I've seen the ping on my talk page; would you be interested in taking up JBchrch's mediation initiative? Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, Modussiccandi, and hoping this finds you well also. If anything, I'd be more interested in taking them to AN/I for whatever form of WP:HARRASment failure to respect WP:NOBAN is. Do not be deceived into thinking there is a dispute that needs to be resolved; only one editor thinks so, and it's neither me, the editor my original comment referenced nor the other 57 editors who posted to that RfA. No-one cares. The RfA is over. Dead and buried (non obstante the candidate is wished all the best for their next, hopefully, more successful run). The crux of the matter is that, having raised it here—by way of telling me I should be "corrected" (!!!) for a "blunder" and then wondering, innocently, if they sense hostility (!!!)—I eventually inform them they need not stick around (actually more politely than that...), to which they insist on responding to. Obviously, this is removed, and I am placed in the invidious position of having to remind them to whom the last word—with a few exceptions—belongs on a user talk page. Then they come back again with another comment, at which point I invoke NOBAN. And, of course, they just have to ping me again from your talk. I don't know whether using other WP:ECHO facility to carry on talking about people who have made it clear they do not wish to respond is against the letter of the harassment policy; it is certainly against the spirit of it.TL;DR: My suggestion would be, in this case, not to mistake politeness for civility, and not to allow yourself to be distracted by what is already becoming a timesink. Gently steer them towards your favourite noticeboard, where, no doubt "Let justice roll down like waters, etc.," will be the watchword. Have a good week, SN54129 23:08, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

- Indeed, Barkeep49, it's not something I have made or intend make a habit of; if I wanted to clerk arbcom or anyone else I would
give up my soul for eternityapply through the usual channels (although, on a serious note, it is ironic that only a few days have passed since I reversed a non-clerk action and was critized for it; yes I know it's an arb sub-page, but it's rather a distinction without a difference). For the record, my reasons for that edit were serious, if IAR, and were based on the principle of retaining editors, if possible. See: take a look at the guy's page. He's on the ropes. Probably rightfully. Multiple admins pointing out his faults. Definitely rightfully. And then he goes and posts that. Now, I know that boomerangs aren't commonly despatched or delivered by arbs in official capacity, but that was asking for it. If he was lucky, yeah, it would have been removed; but as you p[pointed out yourself, there are editors who by necessity comment on every case. I felt it was as well to not allow it to get to the stage where anyone noticed. Apologies for the infraction of course, and message received. But if yon guy gets blocked, it should be because of what he's posting, not where; which is what I wanted to avoid, ASAP.On a lighter note, re. bollockings, here's a cryptic crossword clue which seems pertinent :) SN54129 23:31, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, SN 54129, I'm very sorry about making such a mess out of your talk page and sub-pages, while trying to undo pagemove vandalism.

Three Separate Posts Comment
What did you mean in thanking me for not making three separate posts about Draft:Vivek Verma? Were you referring to the fact that the article has been deleted three times? Or is there some other humor that I completely missed?
As to CheckUser and the editor who submitted the draft, as you know, anyone can submit a Sockpuppet investigation, and you also probably know that CheckUser data is only kept for three months. Anyway, I don't know if the submitter is VV, that is, a sockpuppet, or if the submitter is someone being paid by VV, and paid editing isn't dealt with by CU. I don't really care if the submitter is a duck or some other species of waterbird. (Either way, waterbirds can be plucked.) Robert McClenon (talk) 04:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Greg and RfA
Greg has been consistently opposing RfA candidates with less than 1 FA or 2 GAs for years and years; see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Bradv and Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rosguill for relatively recent examples. There's no point debating his view as it's a waste of time and a drama sink. The simple answer is anyone who writes two or more GAs won't get opposed. I've never tested whether there's a difference between the GAs being Texas Recreational Road 8 and Texas Recreational Road 11, or Dracula and The Rolling Stones, though. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, from past experience he will usually a) say he is being badgered or harassed and b) demand that you explain your support rationale to his satisfaction before he will explain his oppose (which never happens). The fact that
historically, there has not been the same obligation on supporters to explain their reasons for supporting (assumed to be "per nom" or a confirmation that the candidate is regarded as fully qualified)as there has been on opposers
is not something he accepts. Pawnkingthree (talk) 00:07, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

75.169.140.50 activity
Thanks for reverting User:75.169.140.50's strange activity. I was laboriously reverting by hand; what mechanism did you use to implement such a swift resolution to the series and is it available to the likes of me? If not, as the activity by User:75.169.162.15 is evidently the same individual, could you please implement a similar mass rv please? Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:54, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Matt Lunker: Happy to help! This is the script, another fine thing from User:Writ Keeper. Be careful though: I use it extremely;y rarely, as if you had much more than, say, at a guess, a 5% error rate, it could rebound upon its user. "Misuse of rollback" is a thing; misuse of mass rollback, an even greater thing! SN54129 16:01, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for that and I should have said, I'm fully aware it wouldn't be the kind of thing to wield often or lightly, though I have come across similar editing patterns before that were extremely laborious to revert manually. I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to utilise the script and would be wary of doing so at the risk of causing mayhem. Is there an easy explanation of what to do with it? Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Canvassed template at Will Smith/Chris Rock AfD
I'm curious as to why you added the {{canvassed}} template at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Will Smith assault of Chris Rock at the Oscars. It seems more likely to me that the influx of new users commenting there is due to many people reading the page about an event that has been dominating the news for the past few days, seeing the giant red banner at the top of the article, and giving their two cents at the AfD. Is there evidence that the AfD was posted to some external website? Mlb96 (talk) 01:04, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Why are you editing other people's comments including this and this? Is this account compromised? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:41, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please desist from making patronising commments, particularly when hatting sections. Remember, you
should strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy and civility to other editors
, per the community's expectations of your conduct.I assume your question is a joke. SN54129 11:49, 7 April 2022 (UTC)- No, I was just worried. If you'd said, "hey did you really mean to yell 'play nice' at those two, couldn't you just hat it with no comment" on my talk page, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid. But to edit somebody else's comment with "ce" (which gives no indication of that actual issue) eight days after it was made (from which we could assume nobody is particularly bothered) seems so far out of whack that I can't believe it's something you'd do in good faith. FWIW I have hatted discussions using this phrase or similar (eg: "not now chaps") because I feel it calms the mood down. In the past, admins have dished out civility blocks instead, and (quite rightfully in my view) caught merry hell for it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:53, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Cobblers. Which demonstrates bad faith on my part. Even more bad faith would be to suggest that you included that first diff to try to indicate a pattern, although it's clear to everyone that it was an accidental rollback that was itself rolled back the next minute. And it was over 12 hours ago. In which time this supposedly compromised account carried out a ~2K-byte featured article review. "I'm a compromised account, please bring me massive articles to tie me up all morning!" :p SN54129 12:02, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Green Children of Woolpit
Happy to see you're still keeping an eye on this article after all your hard work on it earlier. But can you explain your objection to my |ps=none amendments? Sorry, I don't understand Wiki jargon like WP:CITEVAR. Currently in the short References list, MOST of the entries DON'T have a full stop/period after them. In fact I see SandyGeorgia inserted a lot of |ps=none on 4 March with the summary 'citation consistency' to remove a couple of dozen occurrences of full stops. Nobody objected at the time, so I assumed it was the agreed format for this article. I've looked back at earlier versions eg 23 December 2021, and even then all the short refs have |ps=none. I had begun working through the entries using |ps=none to get rid of the remaining full stops - for consistency! I think many of the short refs that DON'T have the |ps=none tag were ones that came in with your own major update - some of these may be ones that SandyGeorgia later added the |ps=none tag to. John O'London (talk) 20:04, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi John O'London, just to clarify, all your edits to that page can be undone per policy, tragically! BTW, are you out o' London? Kilburn here :) SN54129 20:14, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Must admit I'd never dared edit a Featured Article before. But I've long had my eye on Green Children, worried about the content (out-of-date, unbalanced, inaccurate), and when I saw it was to be reviewed - and then saw your own very bold (and worthwhile) additions - I thought I'd try some of my own. Sorry, I've never understood Wiki's Featured Article policy, which doesn't actually seem to require an article to be 'accurate'. What I've been doing is largely checking back on the references and making sure they are accurate, and actually say what the original contributor says - and tidying up typos and inconsistencies. Perhaps we can regard that as part of the review process? I don't think the article has been moved to FARC yet? In the past when I've tried to raise a discussion on an article's talk page it's usually been met with no response! PS perhaps someone needs to consult the latest academic paper on the subject, just out:

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter
The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
- Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
- AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
- Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
- Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
- Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
- Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
- Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

dispute between darnhall and vale royal abbey
hello, Serial Number 54129! i had two questions regarding this article and the associated blurb.
- was the judge that the villagers appealed to actually called either "chief justice" or "justiciar"? i had added to the blurb a link to the "justiciar" article to conform with the article body. however, that article states that the office (in england) was replaced under edward i and considers hugh despenser (d. 1265) to be the last justiciar. also, in the legacy section of the featured article, the "justice of Chester" (and not "Cheshire") was mentioned, so i am wondering if any of the sources may have conflated the two offices. (also, apparently, the senior justice of chester was called the "Chief Justice of Chester".) if the judge appealed to was actually the justice of chester, i was thinking of replacing "chief justice in Cheshire" in the blurb with "justice of Chester".
- do you have a preference regarding the oxford comma? the blurb's third sentence omits it, but its fifth sentence uses it.
dying (talk) 23:58, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Dying: a) Excellent points re. justiciarships, clearly the RS occasionally confuse themselves; b) I generally avoid it but don't always spot it, so all things being equal am opposed to it but not religiously so.Thanks for asking! SN54129 13:45, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- sounds good. i have made a further edit to the blurb to conform with your comments. (i ended up removing "King's" so that i could capitalize "Justice" to conform with the rest of the sentence.) please feel free to revert anything you disagree with. thanks! dying (talk) 00:54, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Pity the poor folk of 14th- and 15th-century Cheshire, with their Rachmanesque landlord in the figure of the villainous Abbot of Vale Royal condemning them to perpetual slavery for fifty years... and the rest! They protest their rights to the Abbot. He finds against them and imprisons and fines them. They protest their rights to the King. He finds against them and returns them to the Abbot. They are imprisoned and fined by the Abbot. They protest their rights to the justiciar. He finds against them and returns them to the Abbot. They are imprisoned and fined by the Abbot. They protest their rights to the King and Queen. The Queen supports them. The King finds against them and returns them to the Abbot. They are imprisoned and fined by the Abbot. You get the picture. Needless to say, there were increasing fatalities among the good brothers, culminating in the eventual murder of—you guessed it—the Abbot of Vale Royal." - I have an imaginary DYK set at the bottom of my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
