Stuartzs unblock request

[edit]

This user posted an explanation to the SPI that is much more plausible than the typical one. Thoughts? OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:48, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it's not unreasonable for them to be University of Waterloo students. Stuartzs: Please email me as soon as possible to discuss the issue. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
my 2c worth here is that in the past Stuartzs has claimed "[he] cannot comment about the accounts mentioned" however Stuartzs is now claiming "I had been explaining to people with the accounts mentioned how to edit on Wikipedia because they had expressed an interest in learning about the medium." if the latter is to be believed then why wait till after the block to explain; the Defending yourself against claims section sets out "If there is a good reason for the evidence provided, point it out in your own section." this looks like a variant on WP:SOMEONEDIDIT. I also find it a stretch given we are talking about a total of seven accounts here. If only he could have said "Yep I socked, I won't do it again" as blocks are preventive and not punishment he could have been unblocked. LGA talkedits 00:52, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We can also rule out them being University of Waterloo students because KobieTale states here that he does not have a WP:COI with relation to University of Waterloo Stratford Campus and is "Just interested in the subject after reading about what they are doing." LGA talkedits 01:10, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, I will conduct a very thorough interrogation to make sure everything is sorted out. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:20, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I blocked this user on Commons (based on checkuser data). You'd need a quantum-level microscope to be able to detect the likelihood that these accounts are not the same person. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 02:51, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Involuntary celibacy

[edit]

Who created that page? OccultZone (Talk) 00:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An IP did, in 2004. In case you were confused about the recent course of events, here's what happened: Coffee closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Involuntary celibacy (2nd nomination) as merge in January 2014. Then the block-evading sockpuppet Candleabracadabra moved Involuntary celibacy to Denise Donnelly and created an article there. Coffee then closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Denise Donnelly as delete per WP:CSD#G5, but because of the move, thousands of edits in the history of Involuntary celibacy were ensnarled in the deletion. I cleaned up the mess made by the sock and moved the article history back to where it belonged. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:18, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just had this page on watchlist, today I saw that it has been deleted. I think I had reviewed it or contributed a bit. There are thousands of edits yet to be investigated. Yes I remember how Coffee had investigated, Coffee had agreed that these pages can be re-created but something better than adding the version of Candleabracadabra. Thanks for explanation. OccultZone (Talk) 05:22, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am still completely confused. What history did you restore[14] and where? I see Rhaworth deleted the article[15] (again?) after this discussion. Was that part of your process or an independent action? I can't even work out what was there to be deleted! Thincat (talk) 10:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I restored the history from Denise Donnelly and moved it back. RHaworth deleted it, and I am currently asking him why he did so. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:44, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I hadn't seen the discussion there (and in many ways I'm rather glad I hadn't). Very weird, it seems to me such a reasonable topic (most people are presumably involuntarily celibate at some stage in their lives) but opinionated writing and bad behaviour seem to have put a curse on it. Thincat (talk) 10:54, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Block length

[edit]

Hi, your majesty. I have just dealt with an unblock request at User talk:Abhinand1234. I fully agree with the block, except that for a minor first offence I would have made it shorter. (You made it 3 days.) If that had been all, I would have left your block as it was: I don't think it would be helpful to always impose one's own preference over that of another admin who has made a judgement as to what is unreasonable. however, Bgwhite had suggested that no block on that account was necessary. With three admins thinking no block, block for a day or so, block for a few days, I decided the middle ground was closest to a consensus, so I have reduced the block length to 24 hours. I hope that will be enough to convey the message to the editor. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:19, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine with me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:29, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amendment suggestion

[edit]

Could I suggest/request a small amendment to your close at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lino_Alvarez?

You closed as redirect to List of general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm suggesting that a redirect to General authority might be more appropriate here, because the list article is only about current GAs, and Alvarez is not a current GA. The article General authority, on the other hand, is about GAs throughout history, living and dead, past and present. Just an idea. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rusty69t

[edit]

Thanks for the followup comment. Any advice on whether it's worth doing anything else about this? That the article has been written in a promotional/peacock manner by six SPAs and illustrated with various studio-quality portraits uploaded as "own work" or "I have permission from the copyright holder" over the years, and is now being aggressively defended by an SPA claming to be an unconnected arts council intern, seems like a serious COI problem. Is it worth raising this at COI/N?

And out of interest for future sock cases I might raise, why does the staleness of the accounts prevent checkusering? It is just the high chance that the IPs will be different, even if they were all the same human? --McGeddon (talk) 08:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bringing it up at COI/N would be a good idea. Staleness prevents checking because IP information is deleted from WMF servers after 90 days. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah! Makes sense. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 09:16, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reid Hazelton deleted post

[edit]

Is it possible to track down the editor of the post? He did a great job on it and I'd like to see it reposted as it is abut my son. I believe as I understand the reason for the deletion is because of 1 word, professional. You would be correct not to classify him as one as the car he was to drive for Carbir is still not finished. I believe if I could convince RacerReporter1971 to change Reid's status to amateur the article could be reinstated. Thanks Bruce Hazelton. shadesofgrey@Hotmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.61.208.57 (talk) 22:49, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the point. Having an amateur status would make his claim to notability even weaker. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:59, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lino Alvarez

[edit]

I feel that the closing of the deleiton proposal on Lino Alvarez was not at all in line with the actual discussion. Both I and another editor made well founded arguments about Alvarez being a top leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and even the one person suggesting a weak delete accepted that Alvarez being such a leader was of some note. On the other hand the claim that the sources were not independent of Alvarez is not in line with how we actually interpret the independence of souces. Many Federal judges and members of the US congress have only federal wedsites as sources on them, but we do not assume this means the websites are controlled by them. Alvarez was never in a position that he controlled any LDS publication, so their in depth coverage of him was a reflection of other people deeming him to be notable, not a case of himself trying to advance his own coverage. The fact of the matter is that LDS sources provide such good indepth material on the top leaders of the LDS Church that they are rarely mentioned in other sources, and the other sources that mention them will often be passing mentions, or skewed mentions focusing on one minor issue and not the whole of the person's life. To advance the antagonism towards LDS related sources advocated by the nominator here will cause wikipedia to give undue preference to less high quality sources that often have very specific agendas to push, and will severly limit its coverage of religious leaders. It will also add to the Amero-centricity of the project, since it is most often going to be men like Alvarez, who spent most of their time leading Latter-day Saints outside the US who will be hardest to find in US sources. The fact that his mention in the NYT was so quickly dismissed, is also frustrating. The fact that this was a close where essentially one person advocated his own particularly antagonistic to LDS sources view, and was not fully seconded by anyone but still prevailed is disturbing. There is a strong feeling in some places that wikipedia should assume that all General Authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are notable. This is a much lower threshold than all bishops of the Cahtolic Church being notable, so it is worth at least considering. These low participation decisions on the matter do not help things. I think this really should be overturned until a full discussion can be considered.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:33, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's a difference between a government and a private organization. As for the NYT, that's just not significant coverage; he is only mentioned in the context of an interview, which 1) is not really coverage of him and 2) is considered a primary source. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:51, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Philip Ng article deletion

[edit]

Hello. I wanted to discuss the deletion of the article on Hong Kong film actor Philip Ng. It seems to me that he meets the requirements of [[16]] having been in over 2 dozen Asian films, including several notable ones including "New Police Story", "Bodyguards and Assassins", Naked Soldier and the lead in "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai (film)". You can see him credited on the "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai" poster here on wikipedia too - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OnceUponaTimeinShanghai.jpg#mediaviewer/File:OnceUponaTimeinShanghai.jpg

From what I read of the debate over deleting his page previously, the editor ignored his sizable body of work which is noted in multiple sources and took issue with the fact that much of the news articles about Philip mention his relationship with a famous actress, therefore concluding that he wasn't notable enough on his own. (I think they ignored the fact that even articles about his personal life clearly refer to him as an accomplished actor and martial art choreographer).

If the editors arguing for deletion could read Chinese, perhaps it would have cleared up some of the problems, as there is much more primary information about him in Chinese too.

Anyway, I'd like to know what important items were missing from the page previously and what sources are needed to make sure that the page is not marked for deletion again?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.225.243 (talk) 04:13, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can read Chinese. If you present some of the Chinese sources here, I can evaluate them. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Great. Thanks for your quick reply. Here's a few that I could find through google that I think confirm he is a working actor and martial arts choreographer with a significant body of work -
Talking about "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai" that include info on his background and some of his previous films - ::[[17]][[18]][[19]] English article - [[20]]
Kungfu Quest 1 & 2 programs on RTHK TV that Philip was a featured martial arts host on - [[21]][[22]][[23]]
Upcoming movie "Zombie Fight Club" where Philip is an action choreographer as well as actor - [[24]] [[25]]
This is not a complete list of all articles, just recent ones, but I think it gives an idea of the scope. There are also video interviews available from Mainland networks' official websites, but not sure if those are acceptable as sources. Thanks

About Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pranavtat09

[edit]

It seems clear to me that User:Pranav prasad singh is the sockmaster and the other account, User:Pranavtat09 (and the IP I have added to the case, User:27.107.98.6) is the sockpuppet.

It's very case-dependent. But in general, if the connection is undisclosed, then pretty much the only permissible situation is WP:CLEANSTART.

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

Recent software changes

  • The latest version of MediaWiki (1.24wmf10) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on June 19. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on June 24, and to all Wikipedias on June 26 (calendar).

VisualEditor news

  • You can now drag-and-drop selections of content, not just files and templates. [73] [74]
  • When dragging an item, you will now see a line that helps you to drop it. [75] [76]
  • You can now only move an image to the start of a paragraph, not to the middle of it, so you don't accidentally split it. [77] [78]
  • You will now be warned if you add wikitext to file captions and references. [79] [80]

Future software changes

  • You will no longer be able to upload files on wikis that do not have any copyright tags. [81] [82]
  • CirrusSearch will be enabled as the primary search method on additional 70 new wikis, including Meta-Wiki and Wikimedia Incubator, during the next week. [83]
  • CirrusSearch results will soon take into account categories, the first paragraph and the wikitext of a page. You will also be able to use regular expressions to search the wikitext. It will take a few days for the changes to be enabled on all wikis. [84]
  • You will soon be able to watch translations for e-mail notifications without receiving an e-mail when they are reviewed by another translator. [85] [86]
  • An IRC meeting to organize old high priority MediaWiki bug reports will take place on June 24 at 17:00 UTC on the channel #wikimedia-office on freenode (time conversion). [87]

Problems

  • On June 19, all wikis were broken for about 15 minutes due to a high server load.
  • Between June 13 and June 15 there were problems with the scaling of video files due to a configuration error. [88]

Friendly request.

[edit]

Hello King of Hearts. As I'm fairly sure you are aware, some of the HTML code in your signature is deprecated or obsolete. This means that a good portion of your signature is dropped from pages in some browsers (I see just "King of ♠" on my BlackBerry). As such, I was wondering if you would be willing to update your code a little bit. If you are willing, I suggest replacing: 

-- [[User:King of Hearts|King of]] [[User:King of Hearts|<span style="color:red;">&hearts;</span>]] [[User talk:King of Hearts|<span style="color:red;">&diams;</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/King of Hearts|<span style="color:black;">&clubs;</span>]] &spades;


with: 

-- [[User:King of Hearts|King of <span style="color:red">♥</span>]] [[User talk:King of Hearts|<span style="color:red">♦</span>]] [[Special:Contribs/King of Hearts|<span style="color:#000">♣</span>]] ♠


which will result in a 201 character long signature (38 characters shorter) with an appearance of: -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠
compared to your existing 239 character long signature of: -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠
— Either way. Happy editing! — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 12:06, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer to have "King of" and "♥" as separate links as otherwise there is an underline between them, which is visually unappealing. A long time ago, I used the icons themselves rather than things like ♥ for a while, but thought that several dark icons stood out too much in the wikitext and reverted. By the way, the spades used to be a link to Special:EmailUser/King of Hearts, but I had to get rid of it when the 255-character limit was imposed. Do you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish that? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • To get rid of that space in between (I thought you might bring that up actually), you would have to use:
-- [[User:King of Hearts|King of]] [[User:King of Hearts|<span style="color:red">♥</span>]] [[User talk:King of Hearts|<span style="color:red">♦</span>]] [[Special:Contribs/King of Hearts|<span style="color:#000">♣</span>]] ♠
which adds 24 characters and gets you back up to 225 total characters and would look like: -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ Linking the spade to an email link like ♠ would add another 70 characters ([[Special:EmailUser/King of Hearts|<span style="color:#000">♠</span>]]) which would put you way over the 255 character limit since I'm assuming you would want it black. You "could" save a few more characters if you made all of the icons bold, and if you could live with the on hover underline, but that's entirely up to you (it comes to 246 characters, seen below).
—[[User:King of Hearts|King of <b style="color:red">♥</b>]] [[User talk:King of Hearts|<b style="color:red">♦</b>]] [[Special:Contribs/King of Hearts|<b style="color:#000">♣</b>]] [[Special:EmailUser/King of Hearts|<b style="color:#000">♠</b>]]
Which would look like: —King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ Hope this helps you decide. :) — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 01:28, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for your opinion

[edit]

LGA: continues to be quite difficult with respect to my contributions to the University of Waterloo of Stratford Campus page. He continues to use serious editorial license with respect to content that I believe is important to the page. Specifically, he has removed all references to industry partnerships and the school's advisory board. Would it be possible for you to have a look at the rationale I have provided on the page and weigh in with your opinion? I am not asking you to agree with me. I am sincerely interested in what you have to say because I want what is right to prevail. I intend to ask other editors as well. Thank you.

Also, before the picnic, you can join in the Wikimedia NYC chapter's annual meeting.
