Nangparbat

He's back again under this IP 86.158.238.107 (talk · contribs). Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 22:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Dealt with YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles Featured topic drive:one left) 08:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 15:40, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

YM, can you provide a quick review of:

• What pages does Nangaparbat usually troll, and what is his POV ?
• What IP ranges does he usually edit from ?
• How do you usually deal the IPs and pages i.e., how long are the blocks/protection for ?

Haven't dealt with him before, but can lend a hand at least for the cases that don't need a CU. Feel free to respond by email, if needed. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 01:04, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

He goes anywhere that can be Ind v Pak or simply where he can embarrass the latter. He usually edits from 81.150s and 86.150s and similar ones. Very large range, so can;t rangeblock. Stuff in London. Sprotect all the time as he doesn't bother to create socks for some reason and his report should be on his userpage. CU is rarely needed. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles Featured topic drive:one left) 02:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't have any Indo-Pak articles on my watchlist, but at least I can address the sightings reported on your talk page while you're asleep. Abecedare (talk) 03:02, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Not necessarily anything explicitly Pak-Ind like a war, but anything that can be us and them. He also joins in any China/PRC disputes on the PRC side. But in anycase, I lock any page he touches and so does Nishkid64, so looking at our list of locks will tell you everything YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles Featured topic drive:one left) 03:48, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure about if this user Nero-dave1 (talk · contribs) if he's Nangparbat. Same target area of articles and Indian POV type stuff. Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 18:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

These users? Mac-1032 (talk · contribs) and Inadghetto (talk · contribs)? Similar editing language from what I can tell and same type of articles. Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 21:52, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

From the language used, these aren't NP, but do either of you have any pointers to identify these -- Mughalnz (talk · contribs) and AzanGun (talk · contribs) ^{(From the language used, these aren't NP)}; both active only in the Indo-Pak space with a pro Pak POV. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 22:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I usually look and see these phrases "Indian administered" or "Pakistani administered" in their edits when dealing with Kashmir (this is what I meant by language). I haven't seen any other editors use this wording when it comes to disputed territories in Kashmir articles unless anyone else knows some one. Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 22:29, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I meant the language of the two that I posted, not the two you posted, I now understand that my post wasn't exactly phrased well! Restructured now. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 22:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Mughalnz and AG, couldn't find any match, the others were Nangparbat. Still a Wikipedia:Edit filter might be needed. I made a request for it and apparently it exists but hasn't caught anything, maybe they set it up wrong to catch the tweaking of occupied/administered. He also blanks random things embarrassing to Pakistan. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles Featured topic drive:one left) 23:36, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Tagged both of them. Also, there's really an edit filter for Nangparbat? Didn't know that. Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 23:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Block of 76.212.0.0/16

I did not notice 30-days had passed and that I had gotten logged out. I started to do an edit and was surprised by

You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia.

You can still read pages, but you cannot edit, change, or create them.

Editing from 76.212.0.0/16 has been disabled by YellowMonkey for the following reason(s):

NAadapriya banned user

This block has been set to expire: 08:33, 22 December 2009.

I generally don't mind blocks of single IP addresses but 76.212.0.0/16 is one of the IP blocks used by AT&T for their DSL services meaning you potentially blocked 64K DSL customers from editing on Wikipedia. It's also extremely easy for AT&T DSL customers that know the trick to get a new IP address and usually it'll be in a new block. I was at 76.212.14.244 and it took 10 seconds to get 75.62.127.215 which is not blocked.

Could you please remove the 76.212.0.0/16 block? I assume you blocked all of 76.212.0.0/16 as NAadapriya seems to have popped up a number of times within this block. If so, the odds are s/he can move to another block and eventually you would would end up blocking all AT&T customers with dynamic IP service. That seems like overkill to deal with one indvidual. --Marc Kupper|talk 03:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Re:Gujjar

Hi Yellowmonkey, I hope you can help at the above article. I feel I am slowly being embroiled in an edit war in an article, which I thought I was helping clean up. The problem essentially is a user who seems to be fixated on trying to prove Gujjar are Kshatriya. I have no problem with this, but readingthrough the sources, the picture seems more complex than this, and the Gujjar tribe seem to sit in all Varna's. There seems to be a lack of WP:Assume Good Faith and before I seek User:Chorra to be blocked, I hoped you maybe able to intervene and stop him from deleting references and stop the WP:Synthesis. Compounding this problem is the fact his English seems to be poor. Thanks and Best Wishes.--Sikh-History 13:52, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks close. The most obvious thing is the unusual use of 2:2 to give the series result when that kind of notation is used for a ratio and is equivalent to 1:1 and the mixing of dashes as in 1976-77 and 1976/77, so you have to make a clearcut choice there. That aside having a book(s) would be good in addition in addition to contemporaneous reports written within a few days of the original event.

Closing Thierry Henry FAR

This was reckless, as I cited four reasons in requesting the review. Your view that a short term controvery shouldnt affect the status only answered two, and I think that the week long full protection which was in place on the article for about a week following the incident was time enough for contributors to come up with a mention which maintained the article at a featured article standard.

If Michael Jackson's death was not mentioned in the lead of his article, if this incident is analagous, then i would think that it should be FAR'd for not being comprehensive. Similarly, if all of Barack Obama's life was documented in simplistic in the 80s he did this, in the 90s he did this, in the 00s he did this, i'd feel that was worth review. I dont see how a featured article can, two weeks on from such an incident still so poorly reflect the situation, yet the review is closed before it begins. There are a number of users who have expressed an interest in the controversy on both the Thierry Henry page and on the page for the controversy itself, and leaving the review open would have been a great oppurtunity for numerous users to get together and improve the Thierry Henry article back to FA standard following a tumultous few weeks. Petepetepetepete (talk) 00:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

A lot of people who wrote or are otherwise involved in teh article are alive and kicking and will do the copyediting if necessary. At this point in time, the FAR would also attract an abnormal amount of dramamongering, from newbies and drivebys, because it is a bit of a hot topic. These types of things tend to just turn into a stampede, so it's better to keep things low profile. In lots of things on Wikipedia, people will just see a big item and jump in, and sometimes just do it to get attention. I obviously am not referring to regular sports or even soccer editors. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 03:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
