User talk:Itcouldbepossible/Archive 2022/February

My edits

Sorry if my reverts looked disruptive, all I did was adding the official language of Montenegro (Montenegrin) and some user reverted them in favour of Serbian language (Note: These is a "dispute" between Montenegro and Serbia about the language). And what I did was basically the same thing what that user did since he/she didn't get reverted, but I did. 2A02:587:E20B:1800:9DC1:813:944A:540E (talk) 09:08, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I am really sorry for creating such a confusion. But to you I want to say, please establish a consensus before you make same type of edits to a number of pages. Secondly there is a huge amount of vandalism that is going on, by various IP ranges that are adding random text strings to random articles. 'huge amounts' means huge. Really huge. More than you can ever imagine. So when you, a good faith user was making edits to a large number of pages, I thought it to be vandalism. Because the previously stated vandal user also changed languages on multiple pages. You can either make the edits again, and I am not going to revert it again. And secondly, you can create an user account to edit pages to avoid confusion. Because the large amount of vandalism that took place was from IPs. So it is best to create an account to avoid such confusions. Thanks. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey it's me again with a different IP since my other one got blocked.

There's no need to apologize since this is partly my fault. The reason for why I established a consensus beside "rv" it's because I'm editing on mobile and it's the worst experience you can imagine lol and it took hours for me to do all those reverts (also the other editor didn't establish an much different consensus so I thought I was "fine"). Also in my other "account" all the other edits non-related to Montenegro got reverted even tho I had established an consensus which is a shame since I made some improvements and updated info (from the sources). Well I got the attention of three editors, blocked my IP and had all my edits reverted even those non related to Montenegro, but the worst I was blocked from messaging other editors which gives me no option to communicate and "isolates" me, meanwhile the other editor gets nothing. It feels.... weird :( and it's kinda impossible for me (even if I made an acc) to reverse all those edits and not getting banned again. Can you help me please? Also I won't be editing (besides here) until my block runs out.

Side note: holy sh*t I barely wrote this since it's lagging a lot haha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:E209:B900:9DC1:813:944A:540E (talk) 03:46, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Respected 2A02:587:E209

I understand your position. Since you edited a large number of pages without establishing a consensus, EvergreenFir did a mass rollback, and by doing so all your non Montenegro edits also got reverted. And I also don't really understand what is going on. First an IP adds a language, who supports Serbian language to many pages, and then you revert it back, which I from my small experience, think were made in good faith. As far as I think, pages related to Montenegro should have Montenegrin as the language and not Serbian. Though I don't really have much knowledge about foreign languages. Maybe Serbian is the main language at Montenegrin. I don't know anything. Really sorry for having so less knowledge. But with my common sense I think pages related to Montenegro should have Montenegrin as the language, and not Serbian, again if Serbian is not a superior language than the former, or maybe Montenegrin is the second language. I also cannot verify which edit is correct, since the pages you edited and the pages the first IP edited, are all quite new. As far as I see from the edit history of some pages, the IP introduced the 'language parameter' (I don't really know what that thing is called which adds the spelling of the word in that language), and then your reverted the reverts and put into Serbian. Ok, so put it simply, I don't have much knowledge about this. So please forgive me regarding this.

Now for your second question, the edits gets reverted when some editor notices it. When the first IP made edits, it could be possible that no editor noticed that edit, or else though that they were good faith edits. But then the big vandalism scam took place, in which many random IP ranges added random strings like "WHAT IS UP UP UP!? ADOPT ME RULES! (And Roblox)". Blocking did not help as the IP ranges were huge and highly dynamic. And on top of that the vandal or group of vandals had many ISPs as well. The vandalism went on for hours. Anti vandalism users and administrator became very active. And that was when you also made a large number of edits, and your edits were tagged as "Non-autoconfirmed user rapidly reverting edits", and that is why your edits attracted so much attention. And so all your edits got reverted as it seemed to be vandalism, and also the editing pattern of yours were quite similar to the vandal - editing large number of pages rapidly and changing a parameter or adding random strings of text. I also pinged Evergreen, your blocking administrator, if he would like to say something. I clearly understand your position. Such accusations are really bad. But you also have to understand our position.

So for the time being, I don't think that I have anything to do, or in anyway help you, since I like you am totally helpless. Your previous IP block is only for 31 hours, after the block expires, then you can explain matters using pings. And finally but not the least, my talk page is always open to you an every editor. Feel free to write to me whenever necessary. I will try my best to help you. Incase I cannot do so (since you might know that I am currently a new user, and don't have much experience), then I might as an experienced user to help. Thanks and regards.

Philippines IP vandal

175.176.*.* is a mess the past few days:( DMacks (talk) 08:45, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

@DMacks Yes, I understand. Please stay alert. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 08:46, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Best wishes

(talk page stalker) Good to see you being adopted by experienced editor for better and responsible editing here in English Wikipedia. Please find this userbox below:

I hope you can place it in your userpage after taking approval from your mentor, if required. 2402:3A80:1C46:D09C:3926:B13B:5ADE:6A75 (talk) 11:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Oh, how may I thank you. Thanks a lot bro. Lots of love. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 12:48, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

2402:3A80:1C46:D09C:3926:B13B:5ADE:6A75, you should log into your regular account instead of jumping around from IP account to IP account. If you are blocked, you should submit an unblock request. Right now, you are drawing a lot of attention to yourself which could result in a rangeblock if it's discovered you are evading a block. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:41, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		For your work on anti-vandalism. Keep up the good work. Rlink2 (talk) 14:05, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

@Rlink2 Oh ! I am so glad that you have given me a barnstar. This is the third anti - vandalism barnstar that I am receiving. I wonder how you came across my anti vandalism work. Would you please throw some light on that. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 02:41, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

When someone does something, people tend to notice it. For example, many people, and I assume that includes you, have seen my work to regarding archiving and bare ref fixing. I hope you like that too. Rlink2 (talk) 03:01, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Rlink2 Yeah sure. I love your bare ref fixing job. And its true that I have seen you on many page histories while reverting vandalism. You are really famous here. But did you just give me a barnstar based only on one place that you see me, or on multiple other places have you seen me. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I've seen you on multiple pages, I think. Yeah, you could say "famous", some like me, but some don't. But I try my best to please as many people as possible. Your work is important too, vandalism is very bad, and its good we have people like you dealing with it. Rlink2 (talk) 03:40, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Rlink2 And also, how do you find pages that have bare urls? I would love to help you in your venture. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:31, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Well, there is already a bot going to take care of the bare URLs, so we'll see how that goes.

You can always help out with the archiving stuff though. There are alot of dead links and links that need to be preemptively archived. One way you can help is that whenever you are making a new draft/article, be sure to archive all the refs with web.archive.org, archive.today, or ghostarchive.org. That way, if the link dies, we have an archivedcopy at one of those sites. Many experienced article creators have been doing this, and I think that if everyone did it, it would make WP a lot better. Rlink2 (talk) 03:39, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Rlink2 Ok, but then how can I cite an archived version of a link? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:41, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

There are some good instructions on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Preventing_and_repairing_dead_links and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_source . Let me know if you have any questions. Rlink2 (talk) 03:49, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Rlink2 Ok, thanks for your help. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:51, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Recent rollback

Hi Itcouldbepossible, was going through the pending changes backlog and noticed your rollback here reverting an edit by JlACEer, can you please justify your reasoning for it since you didn't provide an edit summary? I might be confused here but the edit seemed alright to me... thanks :D Justiyaya 09:50, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Why did you undo my Six Flags revision? The IP editor who added that statement has been admonished multiple times for adding poorly sourced or unsourced material, and is likely about to get suspended. There is no source to back up the statement "extremely insurmountable." Furthermore, Six Flags did not close the SeaWorld exhibits, Cedar Fair did. The lines you restored are not supported by the cited material.—JlACEer (talk) 16:29, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Justiyaya Thanks for bringing up this issue to my talk page. Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes I accept the fact that yes it was a wrong rollback here. Really sorry JlACEer for reverting your good faith edit like that. Did I leave you a warning? If yes, then please remove it as they are really shameful for me. I reverted it because you removed the fact that "Six Flags retained ownership of the animals and closed down the SeaWorld exhibits.", but again I forgot that Wikipedia does not rely just on facts, but on verifiability. I see that from next time I have to be careful about these things.

PS: Justiyaya How do you follow what I do here? Do you see my contributions everyday? Isn't it boring? How are you so much patient? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 05:52, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible Nope I don't follow your contributions, (as I said before) I've stumbled upon that one when going through Special:PendingChanges. I did go though your contributions once but only like 50 edits or so when you got adopted by Formal. Unrelated but I think you are far past having a basic under standing of English (see your userpage), consider changing it :D. Anyways, thanks for replying and the explanation, happy editing! Justiyaya 07:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Justiyaya Why won't it be. It is my third language. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 07:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Well, my third language is Spanish, but that doesn't mean I necessarily only have a basic understanding of it. Justiyaya may be alluding to frequently used categorization schemes like the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, where a "basic" level would equal to A1 or A2, and if you go through those descriptions, you'll probably agree that you exceed these levels by now. But of course, it's not all that important. AngryHarpy‍^talk 07:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@AngryHarpy It really makes me proud to know that so many people watch over me. Nick Moyes says that my English is really good and he says that sometimes it looks like that English actually my first language. You may refer to Special:Permalink/1070784340#Don't bother to ask me again?? where I got in a little trouble because of phrasing words in a wrong manner. Its not Justitiya's fault. Everyone thinks differently. And its really not important. Far more things are happening on my talk page. You may see below. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 08:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

As Angry Harpy said, it really doesn't matter, and it's definitely more or less subjective, but personally I think your English skills is quite impressive and would probably exceed what the userbox says on your user page (probably more impressive considering this is your third language :D) anyways yeah there is probably far more important things happening so thanks and happy editing!

RE: draftification of Yanagi Narayosi

Just letting you know I moved this article you draftified back to mainspace. The corresponding article in Japanese is more than sufficient to show the subejct passes both WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. I'll take care of the clean-up and expansion of the article since it's in pretty poor shape. I'm just letting you know, don't worry you didn't do anything wrong; this is why we have multiple stages of checks Curbon7 (talk) 01:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Curbon7 Thanks for letting me know. It is also a confirmation that people are happy with my draftification. I thought that the subject might be notable that is why I moved it to draftspace. I know you can cleanup well, seen you a couple of times. But could you explain me what the "multiple stages of checks" are? Regards. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 05:56, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

User:SDZeroBot/Draftify Watch automatically compiles weekly reports of draftifications. It's pretty easy to use once you get the hang of what to look for. Curbon7 (talk) 06:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi

This is ManaliJain account (Redacted) 2409:4063:4D90:3D1D:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:17, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

What am I gonna do with it? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 06:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk to her if you want to. 2409:4063:4D90:3D1D:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't want to do so. And what did you write the previous time that it got revision deleted? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 06:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Same thing but they deleted ,I don't know why.2409:4063:4D90:3D1D:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok, but I think you are that same PrincePratap. So please stop all this nonsense, or you will be blocked again. Thanking you in advance. Regards. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 06:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

That's not me and I was just telling because I thought you want to talk to Manali Pokharna.2409:4063:4D90:3D1D:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:26, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey, how do you know her so well? Is she your friend? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 06:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Not now as she doesn't talk to me now. You use using wrong text to ping user. Don't need to use @ just write {{Ping|Username}}.2409:4063:4D90:3D1D:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:34, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

And let me tell you clearly. I don't want to talk with Manali anywhere outside Wikipedia. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 06:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

That's why you mailed her.2409:4063:4D90:3D1D:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:37, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible: First of all, no he's not my friend. He's a stalker and a harasser who's only into evading his earlier blocks, stalking people and harassing other editors. Yes, he is Princepratap1234 who can't resist his behavior and comes back every now and then to repeat the same. He thinks evading my privacy and revealing my personal details here and there would do anything good to him. His account has been globally blocked so he's using IPs to trouble others, just ignore him if you can. ManaliJain (talk) 06:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Pinging Girth Summit to have a look at this blocked sock's persistent plus dumb behavior (I think a revision deletion is required here too). ManaliJain (talk) 06:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

ManaliJain, I don't know which user are you talking about but i just use IP , don't have any account here. 970225xxxx. 😡😤. 2409:4063:4D90:8723:9587:6891:6F9B:398C (talk) 06:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I've blocked the IP's /64 range. Let me know if they come back and I'll look at a separate or wider range BLOCK. Girth Summit _(blether) 07:07, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Alright, thanks much!! ManaliJain (talk) 08:33, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry Manali for you are getting bothered for nothing. But if you don't have a problem, then I would request to restore the versions of my talk page. I really don't want my talk page revisions getting deleted. Please share your opinion in this matter.

PS: If he does not know you, then how does he say that he will give me your phone number or how does he even know your Instagram Id? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 08:08, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes of course, you can restore your earlier version of talk page. ManaliJain (talk) 08:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

See, I don't know whoever this person is, all I know is that he's Princepratap1234 who's stalking and harassing me since months through his account and different IPs. Now, the fact that he knows so much is because he used that email feature through which he got to know my full name and then he stalked me on social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, and everywhere) and now that he's blocked on Wikipedia plus on my social media, he's using my personal details to harass me. Get it now? I had no idea about this but now that I've experienced being stalked and harassed, I now know that these stalkers can stoop onto such a low level. ManaliJain (talk) 08:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

ManaliJain you are lier and selfish person. Don't accuse anyone for no reason. Can't even edit properly that's why you were not given rollback rights. You used to ask help so many times but now you have shown your real face.106.205.19.48 (talk) 13:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit He is back. Take care of the IP. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Itcouldbepossible , please don't take her side as you don't know her ,how selfish she is. She accuses people for no reason. No one is interested to know about her and why would someone stalk her.117.96.187.214 (talk) 13:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I am taking no one's side, and how many IPs do you have? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

🤣, Too many and I have USA ip too and she is very selfish person. She is accusing me for no reason because she couldn't get rollback rights. She used to add useless things in tiktoker's page as she is fan of tiktokers. Check her edit history. 223.189.220.205 (talk) 13:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Is that an open proxy? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:37, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Or how are you doing that? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

All IP's are mine. Please don't believe that girl. She was even blocked for 3 days.106.219.194.116 (talk) 13:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok, now tell me something. Why are you only behind her? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Because I used to tell to follow guidelines but she used to add fan things on tiktoker's page. Looks like she is paid editor and also she lives in Mumbai so may be she is being paid for it. She tried to create unnotable pages like desi music factory and other unnotable pages. Check her edit history. 171.76.244.128 (talk) 13:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

what is happening here just report the respective ip to admin he will take care of that person Mstae12 (talk) 13:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

and@ManaliJain pls get your talk page protected for 1 years Mstae12 (talk) 13:46, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 I have already told Mr. Girth Summit. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:47, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

about reporting i hope so Mstae12 (talk) 13:50, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@ManaliJain get talk page protected like@Pri2000 Mstae12 (talk) 13:51, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 Sorry I cannot do that, because there are good IPs too who guide me. If I protect my page they won't be able to help. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:53, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

at least for a week you can get your talk page protected and ask the friendly ips to msg in my talk page for that 1 week Mstae12 (talk) 14:01, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 Thanks for the sweet offer. But that can not be possible. Messages are to be left on the talk page of the person, who is intended to get it and not some one else. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 14:03, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible you too get talk page protected Mstae12 (talk) 13:53, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

i dont have these disturbing ips who vandlize my talk page but that ip has been constantlty trobling you Mstae12 (talk) 13:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 I don't care if he troubles me or not. He will at some point of time get bored and stop doing so. That is how I handle with LTA users. You can see my talk page for more details. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 14:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

oh ok

i read you need about bengali wikipedians maybe i can help you with that Mstae12 (talk) 14:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

To 171.76.244.128

No if you did not follow the guidelines. Or else then why are you blocked? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:54, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible: Just ignore him, he speaks the same thing again and again through all his IPs. Plus the reason he's behind me is that his user account namely Princepratap1234 got globally blocked because of his behavior of bullying, harassing, stalking and his other tactics that he did to me and another user namely Pri2000. Read: [2]. ManaliJain (talk) 14:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@ManaliJain Itcouldbepossible^Talk 14:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12: Thanks for the suggestion. Just to let you know, my account was semi-protected last week for a few days but I guess again the page has to be protected for the same reasons. ManaliJain (talk) 14:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

ya i actually saw that Mstae12 (talk) 14:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Sir seeing his language I'm pretty sure he's none other than Princepratap1234 Pri2000 (talk) 02:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Pri2000 Hi Pri. You are 'pretty sure' but I am 100% sure about it. And the same bullying Manali Jain behavior still exists. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 02:10, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Pri2000 He gave away her social media details and the current institution that she studies in. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 02:11, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

That's very bad , He creates many ip adress and files fake sock cases ,I saw he created a SPI for @Pri2000 Mstae12 (talk) 03:37, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 For your information, no one can create IP addresses. It is assigned by the ISP that you use. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I know we can't create IP adresses ,But that person comes with many and harrasses people like @ManaliJain ,@Pri2000 and many more Mstae12 (talk) 03:42, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

He is harrasing me by telling I am sock of a account I don't even know . Mstae12 (talk) 03:44, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 Ok, don't worry. Checkusers are investigating the matter and they will soon come to a decision. You will not be blocked unnecessarily. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Ya,thanks Mstae12 (talk) 03:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

He is from Uttar Pradesh but 1 IP shows Delhi and other shows Varanasi Mstae12 (talk) 04:09, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mstae12 Ok, he is from many places. Sometimes he is from Uttar Pradesh, sometimes from Hyderabad, sometimes from Punjab, and from where not. But tell me something. How does he know that you are from telengana? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 05:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

it is on my user page , but i don't know about that acc Mstae12 (talk) 05:10, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello

Don't use @ for pinging, just write {{ping|username}} 27.58.144.76 (talk) 07:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I know that. But the @ is automatically added. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 08:04, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Deny

Hi - thanks for that ping. Please stop responding to this individual - it's worth reading WP:DENY and WP:RBI. If you suspect that an IP editor is them, ping me or drop me a note, but don't reply to them. I won't be reinstating those diffs - it's not your fault that someone chose to post that stuff here, but vile harassment is not welcome anywhere here. Girth Summit _(blether) 08:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Girth Summit for the same, I kindly appreciate your help. ManaliJain (talk) 08:30, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit Ok so please then restore the edits you removed. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 08:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not going to discuss this further. Please read through the links above, and drop this. Girth Summit _(blether) 08:53, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit Sorry for bothering you. But its actually Manali who agreed. Still if you don't want to restore the edits, then you are free. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:09, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

But its actually Manali who agreed. Hey, I didn't agree for the revdeled versions to be restored but I meant that you can restore your earlier version i.e. before the revdel. Sorry if revdel was a thing you didn't wanted on your talk page but the user mentioned personal details leading to harassment, and that's why revdel was much needed for the same. Thanks, ManaliJain (talk) 12:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I received your ping, but I'm not going to reinstate those edits. Their deletion implies no wrongdoing on your behalf, and their reinstatement would be of no benefit to the project. Now, please let's stop spending time on this. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:11, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit I thought that deleting the revisions might be shameful for me as this is my talk page, but thanks for assuring me. Do as you wish. But may I ask some questions regarding the process you did? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:14, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Certainly there is no shame in having deleted edits in the history of your talk page - that's very common, I've got some in my own. You can ask me any questions you want to, but there will be some things I'm not able to discuss with you - go ahead. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:15, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit You deleted some revisions, but what I have written is still there. How is that possible? I thought that the whole conversation would be wiped out. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:17, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

In this edit, I redacted the link that was placed on the page. However, anyone would still be able to see the link if they were to look at the older versions of the page that contained it - so, I applied an action called revision deletion to those versions. That action doesn't change later versions, it just means that non-admins can't see those particular revisions. You can read more about this at WP:REVDEL. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit Yes, but revdeling can also delete content isn't it. That was had happened in the Teahouse. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:23, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Revdel doesn't delete content - it deletes versions of the page. If I had blanked the section first before applying revdel then the content would also be gone - that's probably what happened at the teahouse. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

A copyrighted content was removed and all subsequent revisions were removed until the copyrighted content was finally gone. I lost two questions there. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Girth Summit You can see Special:redirect/logid/125390012 if you want. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 09:26, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry you lost questions. Sometimes, unpicking exactly what needs to be removed can be complicated and time-consuming, and it's easier for the admin removing the content just to revert to an earlier version and revdel everything. You can always ask your questions again. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:29, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@ManaliJain No problem. It is obviously a case for revision deletion. Personal details should not be revealed here. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:01, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for getting it! ManaliJain (talk) 13:08, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

For making it this far here. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 12:37, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@AssumeGoodWraith Thanks for it. But what have I done? I really want to know so that I can improve myself more. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

You have existed on Wikipedia. That's about it. Also I've interacted with you before. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 13:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination

When you nominated the userpage of Robi Dakua‎ for speedy deletion, your reason was "what the hell is this?" That's not particularly helpful, and an admin might decline it. It needs to fit into one of the criteria for speedy deletion - in this case, it was a case of WP:U5, blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a web host. I changed the tag to read {{db-u5|help=off}}. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Drm310 Ok, thanks for doing it. But I don't think it is U5. The userpage was total junk. But thanks for doing it. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:57, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

If someone is using it like a blog, personal website or social media page where they make lengthy posts completely unrelated to Wikipedia, then it's U5. After translating the text, this user's page looked like their personal writing or poetry, so U5 applied. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:09, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Drm310 Ok got it. Thanks. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 14:11, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion applies if the page meets the criteria, not if the page is simply bad enough. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 14:05, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Declined speedy

I declined your speedy nomination of User:PranitMehta, as I don't think it was unambiguously promotional. I've left them a message regarding the userpage guidelines so they're aware of acceptable content. I've also let them know about the paid editing disclosure policy because it looks like it applies to them. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:17, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Drm310 Thanks, but it looked like promotion to me. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 02:14, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@331dot Yes, I have got it now. After I saw that 4 or 5 contributions were vandalism, I reverted all of them without looking if they were vandalism or not. So, I was a little scared, as they could have been good faith, and I might get into trouble. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 11:08, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

• Purging a category page with fewer than 5,000 members will now recount it completely. This will allow editors to fix incorrect counts when it is wrong. [3]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 February. It will be on all wikis from 17 February (calendar).
• In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function has been updated so that it does not remove the "space" character.

gdp of Delhi at Delhi wiki page

Hello Itcouldbepossible, In one of your edits at Delhi you changed the gdp of delhi to $110 billion from $200+ billion the source that was provided as per edit request is not up to date at all the figures are completely wrong have a look at this https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Global-Wealth-PPP-Distribution.html in this link which is up to date delhis nominal gdp is more than $200 billion $272.603 billion to be exact and ppp is more than $500 billion and these figues are from an international website, these figures make sense because delhi contributes more than 8% to India's Gdp and a simple mathematical calculation ie 3.25 trillion*8/100=$200+,its not possible that the gdp figure would be $110 billion, i request you to please update these figures at Delhi and please remove redundant pdf files which are not reliable as they can be interfered with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijaydanny (talk • contribs) 13:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Draftification, again

Again, please take care when draftifying articles. Two more articles you draftified, E. K. Pillai and N. Rajagopalan Nair, are clearly notable via WP:NPOL. Curbon7 (talk) 07:18, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Note that despite these two articles, you otherwise did well with draftifying this past week. All of your others were good. Curbon7 (talk) 07:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra Yes, I know the fact that user can remove content from their talk pages on their will, but sometimes it is necessary to revert the removals, as the huggle program starts generating warnings from the beginning. So even if the user has received level 3 or level 4 warnings in the past, the huggle program would start from level 1 again. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:49, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network Arabic

Hi there. You had previously moved this article to draftspace in December, but the same user who originally created it decided to recreate it at List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network Arabic earlier this month. Help fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.

On another note, just taking a small look at the user's edit history, most of the edit summaries are a bunch of nonsense, as well as their edits as well, with a whole bunch of vandalism/other nonsense. Thinking I might bring it to WP:ANI, fyi. Magitroopa (talk) 06:50, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

FYI- WP:ANI#Eggsafertoareo- nonsense edits/summaries, vandalism, disruptive editing, etc.. Magitroopa (talk) 07:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Magitroopa Thanks for bringing up this problem to my talk page. I really appreciate your watchful behavior. I have moved the article back to draft space Draft:List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network Arabic(2). And this new draft would redirect to the previous one. And yes, on taking a look at his contributions I see that he either doesn't leave an edit summary, or writes rubbish in the edit summary. You did a really good job by taking up the issue at ANI. I think a WP:NOTHERE block will be imposed. Also just to let you know, I have left him a notice regarding using misleading edit summaries. For the time being lets wait and see what happens. Happy editing. Regards. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 07:52, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Garry/Gary France

Dear Itcouldbepossible,

I've corrected my Father in Law's name from Gary to Garry(correct spelling) but you changed it back to "Gary"

Regards HenkSt123 — Preceding unsigned comment added by HenkSt123 (talk • contribs) 11:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

HenkSt123, if you have a reliable source that indicates his name was spelled with two r's, then you should add it to the article and maybe even discuss the matter on the article's talk page. Otherwise, we have a source that spells it with a singular r, so that is what the article should call him by. Primefac (talk) 11:17, 21 February 2022 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

@HenkSt123 Ok, but why is the barcode hidden with a white rectangle? I hope that the ID proof is not fake. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 13:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

I really shouldn't have to explain why taking a photograph of someone's passport and posting on Commons (of all places!) is a terrible, terrible idea. Not only is it a huge security risk for them, it is not usable as a reliable source for verification purposes: there's nothing connecting that document to the article in question (there are likely many people named Gary or Garry France in the world). Please do not attempt to re-upload the image. Primefac (talk) 13:49, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Primefac Ok then, so what should be done? Should I let him change it to garry? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 16:00, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

it is not usable as a reliable source for verification purposes - so... no. Primefac (talk) 18:59, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Primefac Also I am not very much knowledgeable. Can you tell me what security risk can arrise? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 16:01, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm going to not answer your question directly, but instead point you towards Q5 (and Q6) which will do a more thorough job. Primefac (talk) 18:59, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Prime. At the beginning, I was didn't like you much and was afraid of you. But now it looks like you are a good person and help others gain knowledge. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 02:31, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Aww, thanks. I try not to sugar-coat things so I can see how some might take that in the wrong way (and after all, it's impossible to read tone and intention on the internet). Primefac (talk) 08:33, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Tech News: 2022-08

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Special:Nuke will now provide the standard deletion reasons (editable at MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown) to use when mass-deleting pages. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. [5]
• At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [6]
• You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup class=notpageimage. For example, [[File:Example.png|class=notpageimage]]. [7]
• There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.

Events

• Community Wishlist Survey results have been published. The ranking of prioritized proposals is also available.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 February. It will be on all wikis from 24 February (calendar).

Future changes

• The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years. [8][9]
• Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech. [10]
• Administrators will soon have the option to delete/undelete the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey.

Testing article moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Testing article, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 11:20, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Dhrubajyoti Sarkar

Again a potential WP:UPE article from probably ZEE article by Abgh7654. Please help to review Dhrubajyoti Sarkar once. Thank you 2402:3A80:1A46:6454:71A2:8CBB:2547:FCD7 (talk) 13:01, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

• Do Not Respond to this LTA IP

See this, requested to create an Article about this actor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Anachroliz#Article_request — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4060:2E01:5DA8:0:0:5808:3714 (talk) 12:11, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok, I get it. He is the Susovon IP. Thanks for the clarification. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:14, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

• See this SPI Archives

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Amkgp/Archive — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4060:2E01:5DA8:0:0:5808:3714 (talk) 12:19, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Now again you are Blogs 19. I really don't understand why you are linking me to the SPI case of Amkgp. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:15, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

 Note: the above is the IP sock of User:Blogs19 spamming articles and user pages because I reported those IP and socks and they got blocked. They are doing in WP:REVENGE. You may check the SPI archives of User:Blogs19 and I have been removing 'Susovan Sonu Roy' from articles like Kora Pakhi etc. 2402:3A80:6B0:82D7:50FA:E98E:ACF1:F83C (talk) 12:42, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Its a mere coincidence that the IP of Sonu Susovan Roy obtained 2402:3A80 IP and asked for article creation so that they are not caught. In fact for a long time I am removing 'Susovan Sonu Roy' from articles like Kora Pakhi, Jamuna Dhaki etc. Also, if you are clear you may remove the entire above discussion started by LTA User:Blogs19. Thank you. 2402:3A80:6B0:82D7:1489:1E5F:CA95:2A9E (talk) 13:07, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for doing so. I have read all the SPI cases very carefully. But again, thanks for the warning me before hand. But the confusing part is then who is 2404:4060. It is a coincidence that you and and the susovan promoter got the same IP. I understand that. But then who is 2409:4060:2E01 who is linking me to Amkgp SPI case? Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:48, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

 Note: Above LTA IP is User:Amkgp see this SPI Archives there clearly mentioned about this LTA IP. They are also doing busy in WP:REVENGE game. Do not fall in their trap.

First of all even if he is Amkgp, he is not an LTA. I don't think you know the meaning of LTA. It means Long Term Abuse. Amkgp only did logged out editing and created run n fly. And that was where he ended, and that doesn't make him an LTA. You must read WP:LTA before you call anyone the same. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:53, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Itcouldbepossible knows the above IP is a sock of User:Blogs19. You are only coping my style and does not even know to sign after writing. They have previously posted similar messages randomly on Admin pages like that of Liz [11] [12](you and Shinnosuke15 have replied) etc. 2402:3A80:1A42:458A:149:4C21:E567:983C (talk) 13:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Ruth Railton and Jessica Corner

Neither edit was vandalism. Please review and restore. 107.127.46.57 (talk) 03:55, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

You had added unsourced information, that is why I reverted it. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 03:56, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Nothing unsourced. Railton's married name (King) and Corner's middle name (Lois) are included in their articles. No reason not to include in Infobox or lead. 107.127.46.57 (talk) 04:02, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
