Out of process comment

I'm sure it's probably an oversight by the poster that they didn't see the sign saying not to post, but could you remove this, added today by a non-party to earlier party comments. Thanks - SchroCat (talk) 13:57, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

@SchroCat: {{done}}. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 16:03, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Concern

I was recently warned "Discretionary Sanctions" I might be subject to. The user who warned me confessed he have not reviewed yet, but decided to warn us both about tendentious editing. I am very sure I have not made anything wrong. I went the appropiate noticeboards to find resolution. Always pinged the other editor involved. After the outcome I have edited the conflicting information accordingly, this time removing the sensitive unsourced information. After two months, the other editor returned with rage and mentioned me. I expressed my surprise of being again mentioned about a closed topic and recalled the noticeboards that have helped to resolve the matter. After that, the user warned me. And yet have not review the case.

This warning in my talk can be misleading. Any casual read can form itself the idea of conflicting edits, and this is not the case. I would like him to remove the warning and apologize. It is possible to ask him to do so? --Osplace 15:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

@Osplace: Hi, sorry for the lateness in getting back to you. {{Ds/alert}} is supposed to be a neutral alert and can't actually be rescinded. I don't have the time at the moment to review your current case in depth, but if you'd like, I will try to on Monday. Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 16:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
@L235: Yes, thanks, is ok, I can wait. --Osplace 02:06, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
@Osplace: Hi, sorry for the delay. I just had a quick look at this. DS alerts honestly aren't predicated on misconduct – any editor can leave them, they can't be rescinded (even by the editor who leaves them), and they don't restrict you in any way by themselves. They only have effect if an administrator later goes and follows the procedure at WP:AC/DS to apply sanctions against you. I wouldn't worry about it – as long as you follow all relevant policies and adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia (etc.), you'll be fine. Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 19:18, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
@L235: When is the right moment to leave that tag? When you want to scare someone up if you do not have time to check if someone is behaving according the Wikipedia policies, as I am? No. This is not ok. Thanks anyway. --Osplace 21:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Catching Up

Hi L235--how is it going? Hey, I was wondering if you knew Freeda Brook from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa? She is teaching a Library Juice Academy class on Wikipedia: http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/115-wikipedia.php Also, I met someone at a Library Technology conference last week from South Dakota who would like to get Wikipedia started there. It made me think about upper Midwest / Great Plains remote collaboration, for how those Wikipedians who may be "isolated" may be able to work together remotely. Let me know if you are interested in exploring that. RachelWex (talk)

@RachelWex: That's so great, I'm very interested! I'm going to try to reach out to Freeda Brook – this all sounds very exciting!! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 02:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing

Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Arbcom

I'm at a loss to know what you think I should do. A statement such as X has a long history of Y can never be proved by a diff or two. That's why I referred Arbcom to previous cases that provide a great deal of documentation, far more than any editor could present in a single comment. My introduction explicitly and categorically establishes that this is not a personal comment about Anythingyouwant, with whom I interact perfectly well. Neither of us has ever even insulted, let alone attacked the other as far as I can recall. I'd also point out that you have left undisturbed a posting from MastCell who refers to the same evidence as I but includes the links instead of just stating the locations of the corroborating evidence without hyperlinks. You've also left a variety of personal remarks by other editors that in some cases are unsupported or in some cases are corroborated by a single instance linked but in no way corroborated as to the conclusions stated in the posts. If you're telling me that I need to furnish hyperlinks to the previous AE threads and Arbcom decisions relating to Anythingyouwant, I can do that. Of course you or one of your fellow clerks could also have done that without nearly the effort that's been expended on this matter so far. I'm not going to try to re-write the post and again be accused of violating site policy without knowing exactly what you think is required. Needless to say, I consider your action petty bullying and note again for your consideration that non of the dozens of Admins who have read my similar messages about Anythingyouwant has ever misinterpreted them as Personal Attacks. I don't do personal attacks, and in my opinion it is you who are engaged in disparagement and undue application of your clerk's role without any benefit to this case or any of its participants.

So, will adding hyperlinks of the AE and Arbcom threads satisfy your requirement? Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 18:19, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Just noting that I've seen this and am typing a response. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 19:58, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
@SPECIFICO: First, thanks for your message. I know you're frustrated, and that's totally understandable. I'm certain you've been acting entirely in good faith on this. It's always a difficult decision when we intrude into editors' statements – we don't want to censor, and we prefer rants at/about ArbCom than at/about anything else. Ultimately, most clerk decisions that receive any attention are unpopular – that's the nature of the job, of moderating dispute resolution at this level. The Committee expects high standards of behavior on arbitration pages and requires that "[a]ccusations of misbehaviour posted in this case must be proven with clear evidence (and otherwise not made at all)." The Committee also often reminds clerks to vigorously enforce those standards. You're right, though, that we should communicate better and help editors instead of jumping to refactoring/removal and sanction.
You're also right that I didn't consider the full context of the ARCA request when deciding to leave you a note. That's something I should have done first, and I apologize. We got an email from a user pointing us to your statement and requesting action. I had gotten back from a long trip just hours ago and no other member of our perpetually short-staffed office had responded, so I took a look. There's a substantial amount of judgement required, balancing formal rules with trying to alleviate controversy with what editors are fairly entitled to and have requested and so forth. I left a note and didn't modify your statement; after awhile with no response, another clerk (Mdann52 removed the statement. We should have made more of an attempt to discuss and to make clear what we were going for.
On others' statements: Per the above, I personally haven't been looking at statements on this ARCA request. When we review statements, it's not our job to evaluate evidence for convincingness; that's for the arbs to do. If you want to say that someone has a pattern of behavior based on two diffs spaced six years apart, I don't think the clerks would remove it – but good luck convincing the committee.
The big problem with supporting statements using general references to discussion threads is that usually the contention (diehard anti-abortion activists such as Anythingyouwant ... his many and persistent misdeeds on American Politics ... Anythingyouwant is a poster child for NOTHERE editing. He is a relentless POV-pushing wikilawyer, skirting penumbra of policy and the limit of the law on WP. His lack of contributions outside his narrow area of interest and his years-long disruption argue for a simple ban from WP. and so on) do not actually follow from the formal discussion. Can you link to the actual section of the discussion that would indicate that the user is a "diehard anti-abortion activist[]" or "is a poster child for NOTHERE editing"? Is there some analysis you would like to share?
I've been speaking in general terms, so to answer your specific question: I can't guarantee that the clerks will not refactor/remove your statement if you reinstate it with only general links to the discussion threads. However, if you do link to specific portions of those discussions to support each contention, or to enough diffs that could reasonably establish a pattern, I doubt a clerk would take further action (unless otherwise directed by higher-ups). I might be overruled by my colleagues on that one, though – no guarantees.
I know arbitration is a frustrating and time-consuming process, and I'm certain it must seem like the clerks and these requirements are a contributing factor to that. Thanks for sharing your concerns, and let me know if there's anything else I can do to try to help out here. (This message got more rambly the further down it is – I'm headed somewhere soon.) Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 21:00, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

German war effort

Hey, Kevin. About the German war effort RFAR? Opabinia Regalis made it 8 accept yesterday, but the "opinion on hearing this matter" thing still says 7. Thought I'd mention it. All active arbs except Brad have accepted. Bishonen | talk 20:14, 2 May 2018 (UTC).

@Bishonen: Done now – the arbs are discussing potential case scope before opening. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 21:02, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Oh, sure, I figured they were. It was just the "7" starting to itch me. Thanks. Bishonen | talk 21:26, 2 May 2018 (UTC).
  • If I may trouble you again, have you seen User:Prüm's new comment, which is an intemperate attack on K.e.coffman?[1] I've advised them to remove it before a clerk does, but I don't really know what clerk practice is with regard to incivility on the RFAR page.

DYK for Sessions v. Dimaya

Archiving arca

Discussion was still ongoing at the ARCA you recently archived. Please revert so discussion can continue. user:Laser brain had just brought up some interesting points. Mr Ernie (talk) 18:24, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

@Mr Ernie: I'm sorry, the timing of the enactment of the motion was also specifically directed by the Committee. I can't override the Committee's decision, but I have alerted the Committee to this request and you are also more than free to ask that the Committee reconsider. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:30, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

But what does it all mean? Why are we here?

Thanks, but what does the expiration date mean? I mean, what does it do? Will the template disappear in a puff of smoke on 10 September? (BTW I see NeilN already put an expiry date on the template in the edit notice.) Bishonen | talk 20:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC).

@Bishonen: Yup, the notice will stop showing up after 2018-09-10 (which I assume is the correct behavior because the sanction itself will expire by then too). Certainly revert if you don't want that to happen. Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 20:56, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
No, no, that's fine. I was just wondering, since the expiry date doesn't do anything that shows on the page. Bishonen | talk 21:21, 10 May 2018 (UTC).

Thank you

Thank you Kevin. That was a complete surprise and something that really made my day. I didn't really think anyone noticed but it makes me want to do more. I took quite a few weeks off from doing maintenance tasks, at least on enwiki, and even longer on writing articles. Your nomination makes me want to dive right back into all that. I think I'll take this upcoming long weekend to finally finish my draft that has been sitting in unfinished purgatory for months now. Gotta live up to the nomination . Thank you again! --Majora (talk) 21:11, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

ACTRIAL:

  • WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

  • Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

  • A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

  • There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

  • Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

  • The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

  • Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
  • The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Hello L235, you might be interested in the issue I am reporting as you have already been involved in it previously. It is about a bunch of IPs which are very likely (99%) related to an old acquaintance of en.wikipedia: a sock-puppet abuser who created about 50 socks to disrupt IPA transcriptions, obsessed especially with Italian names and words. The investigation I am referring to is the following: 84101e40247. The new IPs from which similar or identical edits have been done recently are the following: 95.235.116.126 (see: Loayur, Duelai, Ddgfs), 87.17.102.163 (see: Sasalikasty), 193.204.194.210 (see: Dyukpore), 79.30.8.179 (see: Vufroled), 5.90.255.50 (see: Ksyru), 79.49.65.250 (see: Fruial, Kilorty); it is also possible that there are some more, but for the moment these are enough to care about, right? I hope that you or someone else will take appropriate measures against this recidivous vandal! Thank you for reading :-) 198.46.84.16 (talk) 16:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom German war effort case - Sturmvogel's evidence

G'day L235. I reckon Sturmvogel_66's post on the evidence talk page should have been on the evidence page? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I think so too, especially since he obviously only put it on the talkpage because of the word limits (which many people ignored). I wrote privately to an arb on 11 June to suggest it be moved to the main page, but didn't get much of a response. Maybe you could raise it more formally, L235. Bishonen | talk 04:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC).
I think it's probably fine to stay there – I certainly don't recommend posting evidence on the evidence talk to get around word limits, because fewer arbs will see it and it may have less weight, but that's Sturmvogel_66's choice. Regarding word limits in general – I dislike intrusively enforcing them (by, say, cutting evidence off) and expending community time on a relatively minor issue, but I also really dislike giving people an unfair advantage for breaking rules. Arbitrators decide how much evidence to read and how much weight to give to that evidence with word limits (and any granted extensions) in mind, and I think that's a good enough incentive not to try to cheat the system – exceeding the word limit is a punishment in itself. Thus, my personal practice is to generally not take action on word limits until I have the agreement of at least one other clerk or arbitrator that enforcing the limits would be justified notwithstanding any possible disruption. If you want me to bring the evidence up with the arbs, I can, but I wasn't planning on it. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 04:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

RfA

For full disclosure - MelanieN asked me about nominating and I turned her down. I'll have a think about what I wrote at the RfA but I think you'll probably pass anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. I will say that I don't know why people can churn out good content like yourself and then get excited about stuff like SPI, but guess I have odd opinions at times.

Merging SPIs

Hey, good to see your RfA's running smoothly, congrats on the WP:200 and an early congrats on your successful RfA, I'm glad to have you on the team. But, I was wondering what the SPI protocol is when one sockmaster is determined to be a sock itself (assuming both have an SPI already). Are we supposed to merge the SPIs, leave them separate, or does it not matter? Swarm ♠ 02:11, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

@Swarm: Thank you! We usually merge the SPIs – in fact, we often do a full histmerge too. Just set the SPI case status to "clerk" and ask for the case to be merged into another – an adminclerk will take care of it Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 02:27, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks! Swarm ♠ 02:31, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Yay!!

Just wanted to be among THE FIRST to say it. Call it intuition or a gut feeling - I just knew. Ok, so now that you're loaded for bear, whenever you see [FBDB] after one of my comments, that means whatever I may have said is not a blockable offense. 😂 😉 Atsme📞📧 03:13, 2 September 2018 (UTC) strike & add-on dated 22:29, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Congratulations on your successful RFA!
In a self-proclaimed RFA tradition, allow me to impart the words of wisdom I received from KrakatoaKatie after my RFA passed –
two years ago:
  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version. (I got nothing here. It's inevitable.)
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. Without exception, you will pick the wrong one to do. (See #5.)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. (You'll attract many more of those now, because mop. They must like to drink the dirty water in the bucket.)
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block, because really, what else is there to live for?
  5. Remember that when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. It will not be a personal attack because we are admins and, therefore, we are all rouge anyway.
  6. Finally, remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, input, or advice. My user talk page is always open to you and I'll be more than happy to help you any time you need it. :-)

Other question about edit filter manager

Sorry to start two sections in a row, but–User:Maxim added the edit filter manager user right to you when making you a sysop. Did you also ask for that? If not, do you want it? I'm a bit confused by now, it could have been an error. SemiHypercube ✎ 15:56, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Napue v. Illinois

On 4 September 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Napue v. Illinois, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1959, the US Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional for a prosecutor to knowingly use false testimony, even if the testimony does not directly relate to the defendant's guilt? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Napue v. Illinois. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Napue v. Illinois), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

editor may have been blocked inappropriately

Regarding comments left on Brenae Wafto's talk: I did just watch ELon Musk state that his description on Wikipedia should be changed from "magnate" to "magnet" on Joe Rogan's podcast. An edit to Elon Musk stating that he is a self-described or self-professed 'business magnet' would seem to be appropriate, and punishing Brenae Wafto may be inappropriate. DanD (talk) 05:54, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

RE: Aidan Douglas White

Thanks for the pointer in the edit summary. Will remove the previous tag and replace with something more appropriate. Somehow didn't register with me that an attack page and being completely made up are mutually exclusive. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 23:05, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

@Zchrykng: Well, I didn't decline the G10 because it was completely made up – in fact, it's entirely possible the article is substantially true. I just don't think the article is an attack page because it isn't intended to harass or intimidate, or even negative in tone. I deleted it initially as G10, but after looking at it again I just couldn't justify it to myself. I actually wavered on whether restoring the blanked content was OK, considering it was entirely unsourced BLP info; I would probably delete it myself as A7/A11, except that I pledged during my RfA not to do potentially-controversial deletion stuff (I came across your G10 tag only through the admin dashboard). So I messed up at least a couple times when dealing with this myself. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:11, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
Totally fair, I was probably misreading it, but is seemed to be implying that the subject was "retarded" or autistic, and since the subject (if they exist) is a minor, it seemed over the line. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 23:18, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
I read it the same way initially; it seems like it's saying he's an advocate for mental health, which is a completely different tone. You were certainly right to tag it Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:26, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Belated congratulations, and due apologies

Hello Kevin, firstly, belated congratulations on your RfA. I hope your tenure provides you satisfying and knowledgeable experiences and you have fun administrating.

That said, let me also take this opportunity to communicate my apologies to what happened in your RfA due to me. As I wrote recently in one of my emails to a few editors, the community is absolutely right in complaining about the posting that I did; and it's a wonder I did not get sanctioned immediately, or thereafter, given that the post went primly against our outing policy. I would not be wrong in thanking you for literally saving my you-know-what, by giving supportive statements through the RfA, and now I'm told, in private too. I've made a few mistakes in my editing tenure – this is absolutely at the top of the chart amongst those, and the reason I'm here to offer my apologies.

If there's anything I can do to cut this chapter to a quick close (beer, a pro-bono song performance to add...) just name it :) I'm sure we'll interact in the future, and I look forward to enjoying working with you. Most warmly, Lourdes 16:22, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Reblock?

Hi, there! I’ve seen you block User:Poop dodo for a period of 31 hours. Good effort on your part, but I really think that user has violated the username policy as an impersonation of and attack against User:Gogo Dodo and should be indef’d. My report at WP:UAA was unsuccessful and removed right away. StormContent 19:58, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi StormContent, if you disagree with an administrator's decision at UAA, you should discuss with that administrator directly. I don't have any experience in the area, so I don't think I'll be overruling the considered decision of another admin. As for the length of the vandalism block, I felt that 31 hours was appropriate and proportionate, but if the user vandalizes after the block, I'll be more than happy to reblock indefinitely. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:07, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
@StormContent: I was on my phone when I saw this, so didn't check the actual UAA history – I didn't realize the bot had removed the report, instead of an admin. I'm going to give the user a NOTHERE block. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 05:41, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Malformed old case?

Hi Kevin,

Could you do me a favour? Would you take a look at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Michael Hardy, as I have just noticed that it is malformed; the incorrectly done formatting (such as failing to specify parameters in {{Casenav}}) in other pages of this case are rather unimportant, but the statements from the community ([4]) was not copied by Kharkiv07, as they only copied the statements from involved parties I suppose. Was this done correctly? If not, how was this not noticed at the time? I have doubts because the very next case was opened in the format that I understand to be correct. This probably should be corrected as issues from this case have been re-surfacing recently for the past few months, and right now the point of reference is rather incomplete. If you have time to address this, that would be amazing. Or if this old case page do need to be cleaned up, maybe Cameron11598 can take a shot at it to see if there are any other missing parts? Cheers, Alex Shih (talk) 09:02, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey Alex – we were testing procedural changes and so the non-party statements ended up at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Michael Hardy/Evidence. I'll keep this on my to-do list to clean up, but in the meantime, if there's anyone wondering where the statements went, please point them to that link Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 06:52, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Another possible sockpuppet of User:Santanu99

I came across the article Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management and saw there was a previous editor, User:Santanu99, and a sockpuppet of theirs, User:Tata Medical Center, that were recently blocked. Another editor, User:Ajit Doval, made two edits on the 27th, [9], changing to the image uploaded by Santanu99 and using the exact same coding for the reference for the director they all added. I believe this is another sockpuppet, so I wanted to let you know and if you agreed then action can be taken. Aspects (talk) 00:18, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
