Hi, I saw that you reverted this edit by an IP in "Islam in Bangladesh": [1]. I just wondered if you had seen this person before and had any thoughts about it, or if it was just a general "unsourced" revert. They made basically the same edit again, so I reverted it, and some others.

I've noticed they keep adding claims about "non-denominational Muslims" to many articles, that misrepresent the sources and don't seem to follow WP:NPOV. The latest is the creation of this ghair-madhhabi redirect. I'm trying to figure out what approach I should take. I've reverted some of their edits, left a few warnings on differnt IP talk pages, and had a somewhat frustrating discussion with them on an article talk page, but they don't seem to get it. If you have an opinion, let me know, thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 19:30, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm not aware of ongoing block evasion, just looked like reference hijacking. Thanks for the heads up. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't have any evidence of block evasion, just ongoing problems with NPOV, OR, etc., that are crossing into disruptive territory. It might end up at ANI, not sure. Thought you might be familiar with them, if not then no problem, thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 23:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Gilroy College

Hi, I noticed that you reverted three 'notable alumni' from the Gilroy College page I have been editing. I was wondering why this is? Is this a referencing issue? If so, why did you revert some of the alumni and not others? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guy incognito411 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

The entries I didn't remove would likely pass WP:GNG (i.e., being a member of a notable band, passing WP:ATHLETE, etc.). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi

At Global Records we kept some artists for some reason. I agreed with the other user. They are bigger in Romania than some on that list such as Vanotek and even DJ Project.--.karellian-24 (talk) 18:44, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Per the message on your talk page, we don't list named/bands unless they have articles. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:45, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Lariss doesn't even owe a Romanian page, she has videos with 70 and 55 million views. Lariss on the English Wikipedia was deleted, and keeps being deleted, even though in Romania she's big. Just because she was deleted years ago when she was rising. MIRA has 7 videos over 25 million views, the maximum being 83. Now do you understand why we added them? Because they don't have English pages, but most of them are bigger than Vanotek and DJ Project which are on that list. --.karellian-24 (talk) 18:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

To get such views in Romania, dozens of millions, you must be at least regional force somewhere in Europe. In Eastern Europe or Southern Europe, sometimes our videos are also released to the West especially France etc. --.karellian-24 (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Each language Wikipedia is run independently. If the article on Lariss got deleted, that means the consensus on English Wikipedia was that the article doesn't meet our notability criteria. Technically, having articles on other Wikis doesn't automatically make the subject notable on English Wikipedia, but I'm OK with leaving the entries that have .ro articles. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:57, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Technically she is not on Wikipedia because her first article was deleted many years ago, and since then everytime when somebody is recreating it gets nomination and wrong deletion. Why? Because the users are wrongly calling for "deletion" even there is evidence she is enough notable. Many noobs are nominalising. I understand you, brother, because I must explain this knowledge to a foreigner. A little bit of Lariss for you: Dale Papi and Droppin da Bomb. She's very popular with her genre.--.karellian-24 (talk) 19:04, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

If you think she's notable now, feel free to go to deletion review or if you have substantially more content than the last article, recreate it, where it will have to survive another AfD if challenged. Until then, we don't list music acts that don't have established notability on English Wikipedia.OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:07, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. Just to know, when I added them I was rational and objective, the other guy who is only into Romanian dance music also agreed. I will try to create her page in the future, and then we see if it stays. Regards--.karellian-24 (talk) 19:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Edits on Drew Chicone AfD page

Hi, I am interested in learning about the proper formatting process for comments on the AfD page. I see you edited a number of mine to indent below other comments. Many of my comments were generally related to the discussion and not in response to others who posted their views. I may have done something wrong, so I would like to know how to properly comment from a general perspective in the future. Thank you! Mlepisto (talk) 23:14, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

The convention is an asterisk for each [[2]] (i.e., "Keep", "Delete"). For readability, comments are usually threaded underneath !votes, with each colon (:) creating an additional indentation. Ideally, an AfD discussion should just be !votes, with limited commented. (See discussions for May 5, as an example). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:20, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the example. Would it be appropriate to go in and reorganize or edit/reduce/consolidate mine so it isn't such a mess? Mlepisto (talk) 10:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I would not object to that, as long as you don't remove a comment of yours that someone responded directly too (or if you move it, move both comments). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:34, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok. I was thinking about removing some of the links that I now understand don't help as I have learned more about the criteria and since I am updating the article there really isn't need for the inexperienced deluge of sources on the AfD page, right? The threading of your replies to me for the second batch was more about the policy than the sources. If you're OK with me attempting that per the above I will give it a shot. Feel free to revert if I do something wrong. I am not trying to create more work for you, just trying to get rid of some of my comments and extra junk if it is preferable to not have them. Mlepisto (talk) 13:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

No problem, I don't mind reviewing your changes. It takes awhile to "learn the ropes," I've been doing this for a long time and I'm still learning new things about policies, guidelines, etc. There's a lot to digest, and things change over time as well. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:51, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I think the biggest issue is that I am doing edits in small batches or I forget something and then add another minor edit and it probably makes it harder for others to follow if there's a bunch of them. Trying to get better at that... And the interface/markup is a bit difficult. If you have suggestions, I definitely would appreciate the feedback. Mlepisto (talk) 13:56, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

LX page (really sorry!)

Hello sir, my name is Sarah.

I have been one of the people making edits to the LX Xander Wikipedia page, which it seems you've been keeping an eye on. thank you for making sure th page is up to Wikipedia's standards

I am a fan of LX Xander, I've followed him for a couple of years on instagram. He is originally from my town in England but i think he lives in LA now. i had added one bit of information to his page before and I noticed that some people had started vandalizing the page over the past couple of months - If you look at some of the earlier edits made to the page you can see there is a lot of hateful vandalism. I actually saw someone on social media from my town, someone who didn't like him when he lived here, posting about some of the insulting edits they had made to the page and laughing about it. I got bullied a lot at school last year and it looked to me like they were trying to bully him, so I decided to to fix it myself, and i kept trying to revert the edits myself and also to keep removing anything that seemed old and irrelevant, as I know that some of the stuff was added as a malicious attempt to embarass him rather than because it's relevant information, like when they put his dad's name on there and stuff about his old music. but they kept making the edits so i kept trying to fix it

I am new to Wikipedia, I had never edited it before this, and I did not fully understand the rules. I even emailed a couple of the references that were added by the 'haters' pretending to be his manager and requested their removal, which was definitely a step too far. I'm just a fan, I'm actually only 15, i've not been at school since the quarantine started and i've had a lot of time on my hands

Anyway, it seems that between these 'haters' vandalizing the page and myself trying to fix the edits, I have actually caused more harm than good and now it seems you have added this flag to his page, saying that it looks like one of the contributors is close to him. Obviously now I feel terrible, because although I was trying to do something good, now it looks bad on him and his reputation, as if he or his manager is editing his Wikipedia page, when it was actually me lol. I don't even think that knows about the the situation

I'm writing to ask if you would please consider removing this flag, sir - it's my fault that it's up there, and the last thing i wanted was to ruin the page. I have always tried to make sure that all my edits were totally factual and not biased, and I have no intention of making any more edits to the page as I can see I am causing more harm than good. From now on I will not touch the page at all, you can even block me? it seems unfair that his reputation might be damaged because i didn't know what i was doing. If you could remove the flag, I wouldn't feel as bad about everything. i've never even met him, i just thought it was unfair that people were trying to vandalise his page. Thank you for your consideration sir

Deleted talk page

Hi Jamie. I see this users talk page (content) was deleted and was wondering why as I had warned them in a personal plea about genre warring which I see they're continuing with. Can I repost the message I previously gave them? Robvanvee 11:44, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that, I've restored it. That was deleted as part of a mass deletion of what I believed where talk page creations by a banned LTA. That one shouldn't have been in the batch. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey again Jamie. Sorry to be a pain but not seeing any of the restored content yet. Could you take a look please. I ask because I am unable to find the message I left them in my contributions list, possibly due to their talk page content being deleted. Robvanvee 18:35, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

WP:BLPNAME

Saw you at Recently Active Admins. It is fairly well reported that the wife of a notorious person currently in the news has filed for divorce and changed her name, but what her new name is hard to find. We have an editor who has found a source reporting the name and insists on not only inserting the wife's prior name in articles, but creating redirects from her changed name. Not sure this qualifies for revdel but certainly the redirects should be deleted, though not sure under what criterion. See [3]. EEng 22:04, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

My gut is that at least the redirects to her former name should be deleted, but I don't know if that's technically speedyable; it would depend on the source. I'm going to take it to ANI. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:18, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I'm blanking the redirects in the meantime. EEng 22:22, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe AN would be a little lower-profile than ANI? EEng 22:25, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hmmm, good point, but too late. I'd be OK with deleting it from there as well. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:28, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Sir the user name Carl Grass field is always reverting my edits see KLM fleet Air Canada and All Nippon Airways fleet page history other than him all are accepting my edits see these pages Ktdk (talk) 12:41, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

It looks like you're trying to spin off KLM Fleet into a separate article, and Carl Grass disagrees with that action, thus it's a WP:CONTENTDISPUTE. Is there any precedent for making separate fleet articles? You could also propose spinning off the article on Talk:KLM to try to reach a consensus. Also, check out Wikipedia:SUBARTICLE for our policy/guidelines on the matter. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:09, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Then what I should do to make KLM fleet Air Canada fleet and All Nippon Airways fleet asa separate article and all the other users are accepting my edits user Carl Grass field was not accepting I need your support Ktdk (talk) 14:28, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

I've already answered that question above. You don't get to unilaterally decide that fleet articles are appropriate spinoffs. You need a consensus or a strong policy-based reason. The current prose size of KLM size is about 60k, which is borderline for meriting a spinoff article. It would also depend on any established conventions or precedents for Airline related articles.OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Lufthansa fleet and Emirates fleet

I have removed unsourced statements ' Largest operator' in both the pages but a use is reverting it with various references I don't want an edit war Ktdk (talk) 12:37, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

A source was added for Lufthansa; I replaced a circular ref with a better one from Boeing, and informed Murtaza2000 of our policy regarding circular references. I appreciate you not wanting to edit war, but generally speaking you should try to resolve the issue via the WP:BRD cycle first. In this case, Murtaza2000 attempted to supply refs when you challenged them, so there wasn't any need to report them to me or anywhere else. If WP:BRD fails, the next appropriate venue is WP:ANEW.

Hi there. Apologies - I am new to this and am not navigating very well through the "talk" process. I can totally take down the legal "threat" part but can't figure out how to do so, if someone would help out with that. I am just at a loss as to how someone can post such incorrect info on here about this school. My family founded it, I tend to know a little more about the history than this BillHPike person. If we are allowed to edit pages, why can't we edit with the correct info? I think that's a fair question. I mean no disrespect. Kelhaddock (talk) 17:59, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Simply announcing your willingness to retract a threat (implied or otherwise), as you've done here, is sufficient. WP:Verfiability and reliable sources are two of our core policies. AJC easily meets our reliable sources criteria. If you wanted to add additional information (for instance, what the school is about today) you can do so if you can find a reliable source for current information.

Greetings! Mind you if I want to explain how on earth did you revert my edit? The edit itself isn't vandalism, nor disruptive. And the reason why I did was because I wanted to move the player to a safe spot where it can't cover the letters. Much appreciated if you respond me! –DoanVN (talk) 04:36, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Apologies, a mistake on my part, I see that you were fixing a text visibility issue. I do wonder if there isn't a better way to accomplish that, like using a different template to display the ogg that alreadly handles that or has a parameter. In any case, the markup works. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 12:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

It's all right. Try not to be lazy next time, and observe carefully before choosing to edit any page. Also, I would say there's no tool or something to fix the media player's position.

Ohnoitsjamie Would you mind taking a look at 1C_Company - it seems very suspect from an editing perspective.

A heads-up

I initiated a discussion at WPANI about revdels of edits related to the killing of George Floyd. I think you are one of the administrators who made revdels based on BLP, connected to that set of topics.

Were some of those revdels to protect the privacy of what I referred to as the NEW NAME in the WPANI discussion? If there were other revdels to protect the privacy of what I referred to as the OLD NAME, were you aware the individual in question was not a BLP1E, and a web search for their name triggered hundreds of thousands of web hits?

Anyhow, even though I didn't explicitly mention you, at WPANI, I am giving you a headsup of that discussion. Geo Swan (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification; I'll weigh in if necessary. To answer your questions, my recollection is that an individual was trying to seed Wikipedia with numerous permutations of the name of an individual who probably didn't need to be dragged into a Wikipedia article, and I was erring on the side of caution. I didn't spend any time searching the web for that person, because they were not the main the topic of the article.

There were several problems with the article, namely (1) the name is a mispelling of the novel's name (it's spelled "Chole Jay Bosonter Din") and (2) the opening paragraph made no sense; it wasn't clear if you were talking about a book, or a novel. Please don't create articles until you have a better idea of how Wikipedia works. I suggest using WP:AFC until you get the hang of it. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:53, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Blocked for "vandalism"

I returned this morning to the page on List of Biochemists since 11th June, when I was surprised to see that I had been blocked, for the following reason: "You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions." It took a while to understand what my crime was, but it appears to have been that I used hyphens (1883-1970) rather than en dashes (1883–1970) in new entries or entries that previously contained birth years but not death years. I should have realized that en dashes were used (as they always are in other stuff I write, for example, for journals and books), but I thought people were using hyphens and tried to follow them. It was certainly worthwhile to point out to me that I should use en dashes, as I shall do in the future (if there is a future), but to call it vandalism is surely extreme. If you really think that the edits I have made since 11th June are not "useful contributions" then you are welcome to restore the page to the state it was in before then and I shall go away. That way you'll get rid of at least 90 giants who created the subject in the 20th century, and restore around 40 people who contributed nothing significant — fathers of actresses, purveyors of quack remedies, etc.Athel cb (talk) 07:52, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't see anything in the block log for your account (Athel db); if you're talking about [5], yes it is quite disruptive to convert en masse hundreds of date ranges to use the wrong dash. The reason for the block was pretty clearly explained on that IP page. If one is making large scale changes like that, it's probably a good idea to check something like WP:MOS (specifically, Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Dashes) to make sure there isn't a good reason they were already using an en dash. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

"it is quite disruptive to convert en masse hundreds of date ranges to use the wrong dash." Yes, but I didn't do that. I didn't "convert" any dashes. I added dashes where there were none before, for example, changing (b. 1899) to (1899-1965) (invented example), or including date ranges in new entries. To call this "convert en masse hundreds of date ranges" is a distortion of language and an inaccurate description of what I did. Can you point to a single example where I changed – to - ? Just one, let alone "en masse"? Athel cb (talk) 06:28, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

That block was likely in response to an WP:AIV report six months ago. I'm not wasting my time discussing it further. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Edit conflict on the Galaxy S10's sensors

Hi Ohnoitsjamie, Recently you have reverted my edit on the Galaxy S10. The sources of the article you have mentioned on the summary states that it's the fingerprint scanner and not the proximity sensor. I contacted the writer of the article and he said that he would update the article whenever possible. One of my friends own an original Samsung Galaxy S10+ and its build menu shows a virtual proximity sensor (covering the top part of the display while touching it) but not a proximity sensor because the display does not give any space to its placement. This is one source https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/b0dlsy/s10_fingerprint_sensor_activating_in_pocket/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by MinukaDil (talk • contribs) 11:01, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello. You recently deleted an image from the article for "Ghost Call" and stated that it "doesn't add anything." Why do you say that? Many people learn and remember information better if it can be associated with an image. These people are visual learners. I created and uploaded this image for this page because it was a page without an image. By eliminating the image, you have diminished the richness of the article and are using your personal opinion on what is a valid image. Many historical articles use artwork for an image. It is not against Wikipedia policy. Had I taken a photograph of a phone and used that image, would you think differently? I would be happy to dive in to a discussion about the positive and negative attributes of painting and photography as a source of information, but that is not what this is about. I added content to expand the page that did not contain it. Why should it be deleted?

--Benjamincookart (talk) 21:33, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello there. I am trying to reach a resolution regarding my reporting of user Dilbaggg for their incorrect editing of "The Reality Era" in both "History of WWE" page as well as the actual article itself concerning The Reality Era. Details can be found on the page you flagged as "content dispute". I am still figuring out how this part of Wikpedia works and would appreciate very much if you could explain.

Well, you're discussing the issue on the talk page, which is a good start per WP:BRD. I don't know enough about wrestling to evaluated sources for that topic.

Could you provide more info please

Could you point me to the page where it states that photographs are preferred over other forms of imagery? --Benjamincookart (talk) 00:30, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

[7] It is an effort to acquire original portrait images for articles where no photograph is currently available. Also here; note that for the two examples given, both have been superceded by photographs. If you can make a high quality portrait of a biographical subject that is missing a photo, you can propose it at the talk page. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Was there a photograph that was already available? MLB hold their copyright very tightly. My image is a created baseball card featuring a 1987 Boston Red Sox player. This is not an article for Rodger Clemens. Even if this had been an article about a single person, the link you provided proves that the posting of this image is welcome:

“ Image requirements[edit] Portraits are preferred using any medium or technique. Even a simple pencil sketch is acceptable provided that it is a good likeness of the subject.”

If however, your criticism is in the realism, a “simple sketch” is apropos in this case as the likeness is obvious to those familiar with the person in question.

--Benjamincookart (talk) 02:12, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Additionally, I would again point out that there was no picture to start. If you are on a personal crusade against me because I am working within the rules but in a way that differs from your own thought process, I would ask you to reconsider the greater good and focus on the stated rules. --Benjamincookart (talk) 02:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Light2021

Hi Ohnoitsjamie. I am contacting you because you previously warned and blocked Light2021 for disruptive editing. Kudpung warned the user for canvassing in January 2017 and other editors warned the user for canvassing in July 2017.

At Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive938#Proposed deletion-related topic ban for User:Light2021 (November 2016), the user was blocked for one month.

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive961#Please review Light2021's behaviour at AfD was closed in August 2017 as:

But I do believe there is broad support for: a. User:Light2021 is to refrain from canvassing, with every single instance being a blockable offense; b. they are on notice for their AfD participation, which is frequently deemed incompetent or otherwise disruptive, and may be blocked for that by any uninvolved administrator; c. they are placed on a one-way interaction in relation to User:Cunard--simply put, they can't go where Cunard goes (and Cunard will, of course, not be baiting Light2021). All these to be indefinite, with possibility for appeal via WP:AN after six months.

The user was indefinitely blocked in August 2017 and was unblocked after writing in the unblock request, "I will not participate on AfD or CSD directly/indirectly or will not be nominating any articles by myself. As it was major concern on how I did it. I have learnt it what wrong I was doing, and I do not want to continue that." After the user was unblocked in April 2018 by Deepfriedokra (talk · contribs), they were inactive until June 2020 when they began nominating articles for deletion again.

In June 2020, CNMall41 raised concerns about the user's competence. Today, the user canvassed to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pramati Technologies (2nd nomination) two people who had participated in an unrelated AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Power Ledger (2nd nomination). (I had participated in an AfD on Pramati Technologies that had been closed two weeks ago.)

Would you review this situation? Also pinging unblocking admin Deepfriedokra (talk · contribs). Thank you, Cunard (talk) 08:22, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

@Cunard: I almost remember this. Sounds like they violated their unblock conditions. One cannot simply not edit for a while and then pretend the unblock conditions do not exist. If this is so and unless there is an objection, I'll reblock. Thanks for the precis. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:16, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

American frontier

Is this acceptable?: In his view of the frontier, Richard W. Slatta wrote that historians, at times, "define the American West as the land west of the 98th meridian or 98° west longitude". The longitude crosses central Texas and Kansas and reaches the third east of Nebraska and the Dakotas. "Some definitions" of the territory "include all land west of the Mississippi or Missouri rivers". Emotioness Expression (talk) 17:33, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

You're asking if that is sufficiently paraphrased from the original? Probably, though I'm not going to claim to be an authority on acceptable paraphrasing. I will note that "historians, at times," seems unnecessarily awkward. "Some historians" conveys the same meaning and flows better; you could also change the subject from "historian" to "definitions"; e.g. "At times, some definitions of the American West have used the 98th merdian..." blah blah.

Will Arnett Edit War

Howdy, noticed you gave a warning to a frequent editor of the page for Will Arnett, seems to be a constant argument on the page. There’s an old discussion on the talk page about whether he’s considered “Canadian” or “Canadian-American”... it would be nice to drum up some discussion on this and get a consensus I feel instead of just engaging in edit warring. Any way we could create a discussion on this? CaffeinAddict (talk) 21:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Not entirely sure if we could apply a broad consensus for nationality identification in lede for dual-citizenship people; the default seems to be hyphenation, and on Rogen's page, there is at least a loose consensus for both. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:54, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Is there a Wikipedia precedent to this? The argument doesn't seem to be that he doesn't have American citizenship (which he does), more that he doesn't necessarily heavily identify as an American... seems a bit convoluted.

I don't think there is a wide precedent for it, unfortunately.

Kindly need your intervention.

Hello. Good day to you. I had posted this message earlier on Admin Doug weller's page (I admit barely an hour ago) but I am not sure if he did see my message. I do need help urgently and hence I am reposting the message I had for him here. I wish you look into this issue being created by User:Kambliyil on the articles of certain districts of the South Indian state of Kerala. I think you may be aware that like with the European nations and also US and Australia, India is divided into *states* which are further subdivided into *districts*. Kerala State has 14 districts. And there are as many articles for the same. This user keeps adding a map of "North Kerala" in certain districts which happen to be in the northern part of the state.

As is typical of any old culture, there are subtle cultural differences from district to district, town to town, family to family, and caste to caste. There are 14 districts in Kerala State which is the very first primary level of division and then many other further subdivisions at secondary levels. This page [[10]] clearly shows that the first official level of segregation is at the district level. Yes the state is much longer than it is broad and is a very coastal state. Though it had been under a group of three inter-related primary royal families of the Deep-South of India from the earliest point traceable in recorded-history which goes back centuries before Christ until well into the medieval period. The details - cultural and otherwise - of the districts are already present extensively in the article.

Wiki articles for every district in any state in India has had only one map - the one showing location of the same within the state e.g - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirunelveli_district which is for Tirunelveli District in Tamil Nadu State.

The pages he is acting truant on are : Kannur district Kasaragod district Wayanad district Kozhikode district Malappuram district

This user has been on WIKI for hardly half a year and has already been blocked once. I did read your message at the head of this page.

Widening an IP block

Hey Ohnoitsjamie. Recently you did a partial block of Special:Contributions/2600:1700:5E0:25C0::/64. I've had a few minutes to look over their contributions, especially to DAB pages, and am now convinced these edits are mostly vandalism. Either that or a form of WP:CIR that really can't be told from vandalism. Do you mind if I convert the block from partial to site-wide, for the same six-month duration? EdJohnston (talk) 20:41, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Funny, I was on the fence about that. I don't really understand the fascination with twiddling with radio/television station pages; it's not always clear if the edits are constructive or not. Feel free to expand the block if you'd like, that's a huge range. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:55, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh no, tiny! A mere /64. Probably just one person (unless the IP gets recycled). The last one I asked you about was a /32, which is in fact, huge, and I should probably feel guilty. The DAB problem with today's IP was that they were violating MOS:DAB in a similar way across three distinct pages. That behavior seemed likely to continue. They also never communicate so if there was (in fact) a good motivation for their changes we will never find out. EdJohnston (talk) 21:58, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Ha, sorry, meant to say "not huge"! Yeah, likely one person. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:04, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Re:Kanye West 2020 presidential campaign

Hello User:Ohnoitsjamie, thank you for your message on my talk page. My main problem is with the exact clause that you pointed out: "so he cannot win the presidential election", which is unsourced POV. In addition, the same editor has removed a description of a summary of Kayne West's platform offered by The Atlantic replacing it with vague terminology such as "pro-Black religious platform". If you look at the campaign website itself, what do you think more accurately summarizes the platform, the status-quo revision or what the SPA editor is stating? Additionally, given the similarity of the usernames (User:Eqqqtt and User:Tttttqtrrt) and that they're reverting to the same revision, it is likely that these accounts belong to the same person. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 19:33, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Question regarding IP block

I was wondering about your rationale for this IP block. I was considering leaving a "Welcome" for this IP, as they have made several constructive edits in the past few days. However, I noticed that you had placed a partial block on the IP back in June, even though I don't see any contributions from this IP from back then. Is there something I am missing here? Kevin ^{Hallward's Ghost (Let's talk)} 17:59, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

That's a ranged partial-block. An individual IP affected will show the block (note the /18 at the end that indicates it's for a range of IPs). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks for the response. I wasn't sure how that worked, so I just wanted to check in with the blocking admin, to make sure I hadn't just welcomed a problematic IP. Kevin ^{Hallward's Ghost (Let's talk)} 22:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

A welcome message is rarely a bad thing, though I suspect that range is pretty dynamic, so hard to say how long an individual will hold on to a given single IP address. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:18, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

• Alright, thanks so much for the tips regarding welcome messages. I've been trying to reach out to IPs that show promise as editors, and it's good to know that some are really dynamic like that. Kevin ^{Hallward's Ghost (Let's talk)} 22:25, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

List of heads of government under Austrian Emperors

As for the editing of this list, I have perfected its contents so far. I have also improved the format of the article and made the page look more beautiful. However, you are constantly deleting, hindering the editing process and making the reasonable editing unable to continue. Can you give a convincing reason? Or is it just for personal reasons? 李瞬生 (talk) 14:22, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

As I've told you, you're IP range was already blocked for edit-warring against a number of different editors. Per WP:BRD, if one or more editors disagree with an edit, you need to follow WP:BRD and get consensus for your changes on the talk page. I've restored some of your edits here where you make table columns consistent; as far as twiddling with 90px or 80px, I don't think that's worth quibbling about. However, the free-floating images to the right lack context and screw up formatting, especially on mobile devices. For list-oriented pages like this, stick the the lists/tables. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:31, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

There is also the problem of prohibiting me from editing. I would like to say that I never engage in sabotage, but I am not afraid of bullying.

watchlivenow.org

Hi.

Widr blocked Angelahemmed666 as NOTHERE on 2020-08-31. They were spamming links to watchlivenow.org. So, they resumed doing the same thing as various IPs in the range 103.25.250.225/24. Today, you blocked one of them (103.25.250.228 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)). They came back later as 103.25.250.244 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), and also COPYVIO'd text from [watchlivenow.org/list/association-football-highest-paid-player-of-all-time/ watchlivenow.org] to List of most expensive association football transfers.

Might I suggest a somewhat longer (than the existing 72-hour) rangeblock? Back to the beginning of July, there's little collateral damage (the others, even if not the same person(s), are not necessarily constructive), and the addresses used are limited even further to 103.25.250.224/27 .

Understanding partial ban of Mrkallan

Hi,

I would like to understand the rationale behind Mrkallan only getting partial ban where he is allowed to continue editing. Because even after that action he either deleted the warnings from his user page [14], promoted himself [15], disruptively edited [16], [17], [18] and whatever this is [19], [20]. This is his total edit history after getting that partial ban, number of edits which you yourself reverted. On top of which this account is being accused of being a sockpuppet of an user with a huge rap-sheet. The official investigation seems to have been closed [21], so I am not clear what the implications of that are. But this account seems to obsessively be promoting himself and his work (I created this user's talkpage which he then converted into article of his book and moved to mainspace) [22], deleting a good number of warnings from its talk page and heeding no warnings. Roller26 (talk) 15:28, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I'm not sure what happened there; when I went back to review the block settings, somehow the default "block from editing" was unset.

Regarding Dredg and the 151.21 range block

I've got someone reaching out to me from 151.21.73.72 over on WikiBooks (even though I exclusively edit Wikipedia), claiming to have been wrongfully caught up in a range block. I haven't really taken much of a dive into the situation, but it seems weird. Like some IP addresses vandalizing and other IP addresses in the same range asking for page protection instead, and seemingly reaching out to random editors. I don't have any skin in the game and have only heard the side of the story from an IP in the range, but what's your perspective on what's going on here?

Maybe suggest they Wikipedia:Request an account. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:05, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

The individual whinging about Dredg is quite clearly the same person who is disrupting Dredg. Here's the short version: (1) someone from Italy has been engaging in long-term disruption on Dredg; there was a request for protection on WP:RFPP, and rather than restricting all IPs from editing Dredg, I thought it could be handled better with partial range-blocks of the 3 or 4 ranges the person from Italy was using. That way, a few thousand IPs in Italy are prevented from editing Dredg and nothing else rather than preventing all IPs and new accounts from editing Dredg. For reasons beyond me, the individual from Italy took umbrage from that approach; it's as if they feel that if they're prevented from editing, all other IPs should also be prevented from editing it. Very strange. In any case, what started out as a range block unfortunately had to be expanded to a full block because they began a disruptive forum-shopping campaign, that has spilled out of the bounds of en Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:11, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Any precedent for a short-term global block of a range? the range that's currently fully blocked comprises 8192 IPs; pretty small compared to some of the large ranges like Sprint, etc. that are perpetually blocked. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:14, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks. Yeah, it's best to limit the scope of the blocking to the minimum that is necessary to prevent the vandalism. Partial block to prevent the IP vandal from editing Dredg appears to be the route that would have the least amount of collateral damage. And, in the off-chance that there really is an innocent bystander getting caught in the crossfire (s)he has been informed about Wikipedia:Request an account. As for precedent, here is the globally-blocked list, which does include some ranges. Useight (talk) 01:27, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Deepfriedokra, that's what I was thinking the best course of action would be for this individual, in the event that it really is a different person than the IP vandal. But reading your talk page, it seems like Ohnoitsjamie suggested the same here. Not sure if the IP saw it, though. I attempted to reply to the IP over on WikiBooks with a link to our Request an Account page, but it shut me down with an error of: "Your edit has triggered an automated throttle designed to limit spammers. It appears you are adding external links to many different Wikibooks pages in rapid succession. For some kinds of links this may be okay, but it is often a sign of people abusing Wikibooks. If that is not your intent, we apologize." So it seems that adding one link in one edit is too many in rapid succession. Useight (talk) 01:20, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

The subject of the page invited users via Twitter to vandalize her article. I see now that the last instance of what I thought was vandalism can actually be sourced, so I think it's probably fine to step it back down to semi. Thanks, OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:38, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Requested IP vandal block

Hi Jamie! I see you've blocked numerous 2402.x IP's belonging to a certain vandal a couple of days ago. He's now continuing as Special:Contributions/2402:9D80:3E4:DDE:EFA:F967:1884:4B99 and Special:Contributions/2402:9D80:328:8229:0:0:99A9:CA0C. Can you block those as well, or, preferably, apply a range block? Cheers, ExcitedEngineer (talk) 13:33, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

That the IP is dynamic is frustrating and makes it difficult to establish a clear conversation, but it does seem like they're trying to compromise. I'm not sure if we're at a clear blocking point; let's give the ANI item a little more time.

Dealuri at utrs

Inclined to unblock per UTRS appeal #34757 It's long-winded and in broken English, but I think hits the salient points. Thoughts? - --Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:07, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: agree with User:Yamla that WP:ROPE applies here. I'm a little on the fence about the file space restrictions. On one hand, I'm not sure if there English is up to par for contributing to the text. On the other hand, even if they restrict themselves to photos they've taken, does the project really need 200 indiscriminate photos from this user's camera roll? It seems like their approach is, "I'm going to upload all of my photos, and then see if they fit anywhere." You could unblock with the condition that they start out uploading no more than 5 new photos; if they're appropriately licensed and have a good use on the project, that restriction could be loosened. Just an idea. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:47, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Question about title formatting

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could tell me about title formatting.

If song and band titles are written in one word, do we write it as one word or written as it should be? Example should it be Blessthefall (band) or Bless the Fall? Should it "Ishookhandswithdeath" (song) or "I Shook Hands with Death"? Thanks. --2001:8003:32A5:7700:BCE3:929:7644:F28B (talk) 22:43, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Generally we try to reflect names/titles as artists intend them (as written) Blessthefall is a good example. We spell it as the band spells it, with no spaces. However, we may use standard capitalization conventions in the name of the article, while noting that the band may stylize it differently (all caps or all lowercase). Sunn_O))) consistently renders the title wiht the close parens, so the article title reflects that. You may find examples of apparent inconsistencies that may be a result of a consensus/compromise (see Questlove and !Kung people). Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles and Wikipedia:Article_titles#Article_title_format have additional details on the relevant policies. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:53, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

I was just asking as this is an issue that I'm wondering about a song title. Specifically "Ishookhandswithdeath" by Northlane from their album, Discoveries. As seen on the track listing on the physical CD and vinyl, "Ishookhandswithdeath" is written in one word (final track). However, one user is stating that we shouldn't write it in the way the band intended to be. This can be said the same as the actual band name itself. Written as "Northlane" not "North lane". --2001:8003:32A5:7700:F494:ED56:2F8E:8441 (talk) 09:39, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, the thing is, some sources I've looked at lists it as separate words; including the Bandcamp page; the only one I've seen that lists it without spaces is Dicogs. It's not clear what the authoritative answer is; while I'd tend to favor the CD cover as canon, the typography/letter spacing on that back cover is unusual. If a back cover had typography that rendered individual letters in different font faces or sizes, we wouldn't try to replicate that. I see that another user added a footnote about it; that seems to be a reasonable compromise. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 12:39, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

William Stickman IV partisan editing

You urged an editor, who had insisted on deleting sourced criticism of a controversial ruling by this judge, to take it to the Talk page instead. That editor brought in two other editors, who also have a record of partisan editing and have frequently been accused of disruptive edits, to the Talk page and jointly they have decided that between them they have consensus to rewrite the article to: (1) delete any criticism of the ruling; (2) delete the judge's reference to the notorious Lochner ruling (which is at the heart of his own ruling, the very reason it is controversial); and (3) replace it with a rhetorical quotation that says nothing about the legal basis for his ruling and which therefore cannot be objected to. To me this seems like rank abuse of the idea of census building, whose purpose is to improve an article rather than to make it poorer in pursuit of an ideological or partial agenda. How does one marshal other editors to step in to correct such abuses?72.86.137.189 (talk) 17:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Should have mentioned that the supposed improvement of the article also would involve deleting the citations to 2 sources that include criticisms of the controversial ruling in their analyses, and replacing them with sources that do not do so and whose publications have a conservative/GOP bias.72.86.137.189 (talk) 17:53, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I'm enough of a subject matter expert (law) to address the WP:WEIGHT issue. Perhaps give the RFC some time? Regarding editor brought in two other editors, who also have a record of partisan editing, which editors are you referring to, and can you give me some examples of partison editing on their part? I took a quick look at two of the editors on the talk page and didn't see any obvious issues with their past edits. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

The most glaring partisans here are Trying to reconnect (whose Talk page had a series of warnings/complaints about disruptive editing - until four days ago, when he appears to have deleted much of it...after I had called attention to his history of partisan editing on the Stickman Talk page); and Tchouppy (I discussed in detail on the Stickman Talk page his attempt to delete a controversy on Republican Senator Steve Daines' page [Daines' implication that DC residents weren't "real Americans"] which he was called on by Snooganssnoogans...the tactics he used in that attempt are directly parallel to the tactics he's trying to use to delete the Stickman controvesry). Over the years I have also seen Marquardtika on multiple politicians' pages engaging in editing wars that struck me as plainly partisan/ideological but I don't have anything immediately at hand to point to. He was he invited by Trying to reconnect to join in the current dispute that Ttr was pursuing.72.86.137.189 (talk) 22:13, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Ohnoitsjamie, the IP address above is going around casting aspersions at multiple editors on multiple pages. See, for instance, Pam Bondi. Pinging Curbon7, who has been a recent victim of this as well. Marquardtika (talk) 00:44, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

There are a lot of partisans on politicians' pages deleting information willy nilly while offering little or no justification. Bondi's page is a particularly egregious example, much more glaring than the tiny little partisan battle over Stickman; the partisan edit warring on Bondi goes back years, as one of the editors I singled out there (Niteshift36) is at pains to avoid acknowledging. Odd that you think it makes your case stronger to draw attention to absolutely blatant partisan vandals like him. As for you, Marquardtika, just moments ago I stumbled across yet another bizarre deletion made by you on another Republican politician's page (Rep. Scott Perry), once again with no apparent justification and just coincidentally once again eliminating info that would seem to be unflattering to the politician.72.86.132.18 (talk) 19:51, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, he did "single me out". I've edited a single word in that article in the past 4 years. One. Then I started a discussion about some material (no edits at that point, discussion only) And all this IP will talk about is edits made years ago. Several editors have reverted him and he is still edit warring. His conduct is bordering on disruptive. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:52, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Just a thought on create-protecting pages

I noticed you create-protected this page (template editor access required - I probably would've gone with allowing extended-confirmed editors to create it if that is possible, but you've got the mop, not me) because it is repeatedly re-created.

It might be useful to remove the protection and use an edit filter, bot, or other mechanism to alert SPI clerks if it is re-created. As it is, this LTA may just create the page under a similar name and it might go unnoticed.

The same goes for any other pages in Draft: space that are "favorites" of long-term abusers. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:38, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

That's a good idea. I've just started dabbling in edit filters (having only gotten permission for them recently). Fortunately, this particular LTA has no qualms about telegraphing his intentions, but it would be more efficient to catch/block them that way. As far as template-editor access; I used to use "admin only" but someone suggested the slightly lower level and had a good rationale for it; unfortunately, I don't remember what exactly the rationale was.

I approach it this way; (1) some form of protection when the disruption is coming from a number of users, or a single user with access to a lot of IPs, or if rangeblocking is impractical due to potential collateral damage to constructive editors; otherwise, blocking makes more sense.

Melanie Bracewell

You kindly protected Melanie Bracewell yesterday for a longish period, but the IPs are still getting through. Maybe the mop bucket was dry when you protected it ? Thanks  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   23:52, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Actually, they're not getting through (though it may look like it from the perspective of a logged-in editor). See WP:PENDING for an explanation of how pending changes works. On the other hand, if there are going to be frequent attempts, it might make sense to go back to semi to save us some effort. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:05, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Apologies - just realised that. It is getting too late and brain fog starts sweeping in. Time to get some sleep. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   00:11, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

No worries, it's easy to miss the tiny "pending change" text! I just changed it back to semi; we had four customers just this one day. PC makes more sense for sporadic vandalism. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:12, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Discussion at WP:AN § ATK Mohun Bagan FC

Hi Ohnoitsjamie. Since you're the admin who indefinitely protected this page, perhaps you could try and sort it out. An SPA recently showed up, got autoconfirmed, and immediately started trying to undo the redirect. You've already warned this account at User talk:Sonabhaumik87#Removing other editor's requests over something related to this. They might be correct, but it appears to be quite a contentious topic that is probably best resolved through discussion. I've got no stake in this, and if you or another admin feel that the redirect should be removed and the article restored, then that's fine by me. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Just noticed the block. 48 hours seems fair to allow things to cool down. Again, I've got no preference either way, but it does seem to be quite a contentious matter that probably is going to take a lot of time and perhaps some divine interventation to be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:29, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Possible death threat

Albeit not the most severe one I've seen, this appears to come across as a death threat. Amaury • 17:43, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

I don't think "you'll be sorry" merits an immediate block (as the implication is tied to the editor's fictitious association with "the creator of Wikipedia"; perhaps we're supposed to believe the "creator" will yell at us for disrespecting his best friend?) but nonetheless, the final warning is appropriate.

Let me try to understand what you did to this Antarctic explorerpiece of crud. Am I correct that the article had been tagged yet again as A7, and that you tried to draftify it as an alternative to deletion, and this was blocked because the left foot (the other sock) is already in draft space? So is the copy that was in article space gone? And is the copy that was in draft space still in draft space for now? Robert McClenon (talk) 07:06, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I would've happily deleted it, but it didn't seem quite A7-able. It looked like it had been moved prematurely out of draft into article space, so my intention was to move it back. Do you have an alternative course of action in mind? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

No. It's a situation where there is no obvious right answer because disruptive editors are making the options difficult. It's a relatively common problem in which a page is created in both article space and draft space at about the same time. The article cannot be pushed back into draft space. Sometimes the draft and the article are the same. Sometimes they are similar but slightly different. Usually they are by the same editor. Sometimes they are by two different editors, but then sometimes the two "editors" are sockpuppets. If the subject of the article (who is almost always either a living person or a company) satisfies a special notability guide, that is the easiest. Redirect the draft to the article. Occasionally the article can be tagged for A7, G4, or G11. If the subject does not appear to be notable but is not speediable, I either propose it for deletion or nominate it for deletion, more often AFD. I am coming to the conclusion that AFD is the best course, because that way there is a record when there is more repeated creation. In this case, the draft and the article appear to be by two different editors, but the draft and the article were identical. That smells ducky. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:09, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
