Evasion

Hi, how are you? These IP address appears to be Xiaomichel evading the block, same style of changes: [1] and [2]. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:11, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also these two users: Rusoscal and Pumconi who vandalized the page Capuchino[3] of the Spanish Wikipedia are obvious sockpuppets of Sapsby/Xiaomichel (they wrote practically the exact same things that Sapsby wrote here on the English Wikipedia; as you can clearly see by looking at their only contributions:[4][5] ). And he also vandalized the page Café expreso[6] through many IPs; eliminating its Italian origin and trying to transform it into something French... [7] 82.55.77.241 (talk) 16:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JacktheBrown: Looks like things are quiet so far with the relevant pages protected, but feel free to post anything new to the SPI. There's nothing I can do about the Spanish wiki, though. ÍGoodnightmush ^Talk 17:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your answer.

List of Wars involving Tunisia

To create a Wikipedia page on wars involving Tunisia, one can structure it similarly to the provided well built pages such as Egypt or the Kingdom of Morocco's military history. The page shall be divided into sections based on historical periods, such as the Hafsid dynasty, Ottoman Tunisia, the Beylik of Tunis, and modern Tunisia. Each section should list significant conflicts, their combatants, outcomes, and relevant treaties or events.

I litteraly don't understand why you did not even read my version.

Please tell exactly what the current one is accurate.

Best regards 37.169.32.11 (talk) 16:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I protected List of wars involving Tunisia because the page has been edited by one or more users using multiple accounts to edit the page in violation of Wikipedia policy. I apologize if you are unconnected to those accounts and have been trying to make constructive edits. If so, you are still welcome to discuss them and request that they be made on the article's talk page. You could also make an account which will, after make enough constructive contributions elsewhere, be allowed to edit the page. Goodnightmush ^Talk 17:00, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation and for your vigilance in maintaining Wikipedia's standards. I understand the need to protect the integrity of the page, and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss any potential edits on the article's talk page. I'll certainly consider creating an account to contribute more effectively. In the meantime, I'll share any suggestions I have through the talk page to help ensure the accuracy and completeness of the content. Thanks again for your understanding and for your work on Wikipedia.

Still I worked a lot on the page I have edited. Because the one you restore is very incomplete and SHALL be improved.

Best regard 37.169.32.11 (talk) 19:23, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then I will republish it. Please read it and compare, you will see 1) the amount of work, 2) the completness of the page. Oilyvertwist (talk) 19:29, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cappuccino, flourless chocolate cake and marron glacé

Hi, could you please change the protection of the cappuccino page and add it to the other two? See recent page histories for information. Thank you very much in advance.

I was alerted by this IP address: [9]. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:52, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both IPs involved at flourless chocolate cake have been blocked. Marron glacé has been quiet for over a week. Cappuccino has quieted down for now and I'm hoping full protection will not become necessary. We'll also wait for various WP:SPIs to resolve. Goodnightmush ^Talk 13:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that Xiaomichel, unfortunately, will continue to create new socks forever. The problem must be solved at the root. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'll just quickly suggest that, although it's totally fine to edit your own talk page messages for a short while after you post them, if you are making changes later (e.g., the next day like here), you are encouraged to add them as separate comments or otherwise make clear that they are later changes (per WP:TALK#REVISE). And you are strongly discouraged from making edits if anyone has replied to you (not that that happened here, but just mentioning it). Goodnightmush ^Talk 14:08, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reagan (2024 film)

It's a secondary source that yes, refers to rotten tomatoes, but discusses the reception of audiences being radically different than the critics. That's the point of the source, and that's why it matters in this context and is allowable. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hammersoft: Thanks for reaching out, rather than just reverting. My view is that since the cited MSN article is just pointing to RT as its evidence for the reception of audiences having a different view than critics (and we don't use RT to assess audience reception), we can't rely on it. If MSN had any other evidence for a positive audience reception, I'd agree with you. But it seems like they just have RT and a press release from the producer of the movie claiming a positive audience reception, which is definitely not a reliable source. If there's a real, rigorous poll showing a positive audience reception (CinemaScore or something like that), I'd be persuaded. Goodnightmush ^Talk 15:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Custom signature

Hi Goodnightmush. I just wanted to let you know that your signature is partially invisible when viewed in dark mode. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:20, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Quinlan: Thank you for the heads up! I've tweaked it just a little bit so that it is more readable when the colors get inverted. Hopefully that works! Goodnightmush ^Talk 20:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for trying to fix it. Unfortunately, if that's your updated signature, it did not significantly improve. I also checked this in a different browser with ?safemode=1&vectornightmode=1 appended to the URL to double check that it wasn't any customization of my own causing the issue. Regards.

Thank you

Thank you for protecting the Ken Carson article from vandalism. I worked really hard on the References section so I appreciate keeping the article safe from nonsense. Appreciate your work! TheYearbookTeacher (talk) 02:12, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
