I request assistance on the summary section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganas. I seem to be in an edit war with Campoftheamericas, and am unable to engage him in stating his case(s) on the talk page. At this point I am mostly concerned with getting agreement on what belongs in the summary, also the validity of some of his references, especially Ganas' own website. Thanks so much.

I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye on the talk page of [[Gideon Levy]]. There is a very disgruntled participant in the conversation, who seeks to make a complete rewrite of the lead. The article as it stands was the result of a long and very arduous negotiation, of which the complaining editor was a participant; the end of that negotiation was an agreed version that has held up without challenge for about eight months. The editor has recently disavowed any agreement with the existing version, and wishes to restore the previous version of the lead. |

So far he has done nothing untoward (he earlier tried twice to restore the rejected version, but was reverted by other editors), but his latest posts suggest a possible intent to unilaterally make changes in the lead without agreement. |

::::::::The unblock request in question shows clear signs of human authorship due to its nuanced understanding of the context and the careful application of discretion. Unlike a Language Learning Model (LLM), which generates responses based on patterns and rules, a human writer often incorporates domain-specific expertise, subjective reasoning, and a personalized tone. These qualities are difficult to replicate convincingly in LLM-generated content. |

::::::::The unblock request provides a structured argument that goes beyond simple logic or direct response generation. For example, it might anticipate objections, incorporate external factors such as organizational policies, or make references to specific scenarios. This layered reasoning suggests deliberate thought and an understanding of elements that an LLM would not infer without direct user input. |

::::::::LLM outputs often follow predictable patterns or templates, particularly when handling requests like unblocking. A unique writing style, use of idiomatic expressions, or context-aware references in the unblock request points to human creativity rather than automated response generation. The presence of these elements demonstrates an understanding of subtleties that are beyond the capacity of an LLM without being explicitly prompted. |

::::::::::An LLM cannot kill, even figuratively, because it has no physical presence, intent, or consciousness—it is a passive tool designed to process and generate text. Any harm attributed to an LLM comes from human misuse or interpretation, not from its own actions. The response provided here demonstrates nuanced reasoning and an intentional tone that clearly reflect human authorship, as an LLM would not self-reference or engage in this type of verification. By its nature, an LLM lacks the capacity for independent decision-making, let alone causing harm, and this explanation was crafted without relying on an automated system.

Dear PhilKnight, thank you for nominating yourself as a candidate in the [[WP:ACE2010|2010 Arbitration Committee elections]]. On behalf of the coordinators, allow me to welcome you to the election and make a few suggestions to help you get set up. By now, you ought to have written your [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight/Statement|nomination statement]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight/Statement|<!-- exists -->| ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/Preloader/Statement&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/{{urlencode:PhilKnight}}/Statement create])}}, which should be no more than 400 words and declare any alternate or former user accounts you have contributed under (or, in the case of privacy concerns, a declaration that you have disclosed them to the Arbitration Committee). Although there are no fixed guidelines for how to write a statement, note that many candidates treat this as an opportunity, in their own way, to put a cogent case as to why editors should vote for them—highlighting the strengths they would bring to the job, and convincing the community they would cope with the workload and responsibilities of being an arbitrator. |
|||
Greetings, Phil, |
|||
You should at this point have your own [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight/Questions|questions subpage]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight/Questions|<!-- exists -->| ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Questions/Draft&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/{{urlencode:PhilKnight}}/Questions create])}}; feel free to begin answering the questions as you please. Together, the nomination statement and questions subpage should be transcluded to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight|your candidate profile]], whose [[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight|talkpage]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/PhilKnight|<!-- exists -->| ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/Preloader/Discussion&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia+talk:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/{{urlencode:PhilKnight}} create])}} will serve as the central location for discussion of your candidacy. If you experience any difficulty setting up these pages, please follow the links in the footer below. If you need assistance, on this or any other matter (including objectionable questions or commentary by others on your candidate pages), please notify the coordinators at [[WT:COORD10|their talkpage]].

I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to draw your attention towards one of the LTAs, [[User:TheChunky]], aka [[User:Anzer Ayoob]], who has been here to promote his spam blog for years, [[Draft:The Chenab Times]]. [[User:TheChunky]] was blocked by Rosguill as the sock of [[User:Anzer Ayoob]], who is the only founder of The Chenab Times and a long-term spammer. It seems they are again with another [[WP:SPA]] account {{No ping|ParineetiShah}} to have their website's Wikipedia article. In March 2024, {{u|Courcelles}} blocked the new account [[User:Augum]] for the same purpose and salted the page (autoconfirmed) based on the discussions [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Courcelles/Archive_154#h-Block_Evasion_again.-20240305052500] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Courcelles/Archive_153#Block_Evasion]. I believe this time they are back with the autoconfirmed [[WP:SPA]] account and a different strategy to have their blog's Wikipedia article. I think it needs a tougher salting this time to prevent this long-term abuse. A quick look at the history of the previous version of the deleted draft will be helpful here. I will request you to kindly look into this case. Regards, [[User:Maliner|Maliner]] ([[User talk:Maliner|talk]]) 20:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC) |

: Hi {{u|Maliner}}, I think the evidence you have provided would be enough for a checkuser, but isn't sufficient for a block. The problem is that the accounts to compare a checkuser to are stale.

Phil, just a quick reminder about the instructions above; your nomination statement should include a categorical declaration about any other accounts you have edited with (i.e. either naming them or if there are privacy/security concerns stating that they have been disclosed to the Committee).

[[User:Stevonmfl]] incorrectly filled out a mediation cabal case back on 10/4/10.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2010-10-04/] I did respond to it, outlining why I didn't feel it even belonged there and why what Steve said was....well, not true. Anyway, the case, being incorrectly filed has sat in some sort of limbo. The nominator isn't a regular editor and has edited only one article since he tried filing the case. He hasn't followed up on it. I was going to PROD the page, but knowing him, it would be a waste of time because he'd just contest it and start accusing me of something. I then considered making an AfD nom since it's not listed under the MEDCAB cases and, as such, borders on being an attack page. Anyway, any suggestions on what to do with this page?

Hi. Best of luck in your upcoming trial by fire. As in [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2008/Candidate_statements/Questions/General#Questions_from_Lar|previous]] [[User:Lar/ACE2009/Questions|years]] I have a [[User:Lar/ACE2010/Questions|series of questions]] I ask candidates. This year there are restrictions on the length and number of questions on the "official" page for questions, restrictions which I do not agree with, but which I will abide by. I nevertheless think my questions are important and relevant (and I am not the only person to think so, in previous years they have drawn favorable comment from many, including in at least one case indepth analysis of candidates answers to them by third parties). You are invited to answer them if you so choose. I suggest that the talk page of your questions page is a good place to put them and I will do so with your acquiescence (for example, SirFozzie's [[Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2010/Candidates/SirFozzie/Questions#Questions_from_Lar|page]] already has them). Your answers, (or non-answers should you decide not to answer them), that will be a factor in [[User:Lar/ACE2010|my evaluation]] of your candidacy. Please let me know as soon as practical what your wish is. Thanks and best of luck. ++[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 17:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC) |

The story there is amusing. It's a classic case of "unflattering but verifiable" information about a company. Back in the 1990s, the company tried to promote their line of heavy-duty outerwear in the hip-hop community. Their NYC sales rep was actually quoted in the New York Times about their brand's popularity with crack dealers. That's in the article, and is the only ref to a [[WP:RS]] reliable source in the article. |
|||

The company has since repositioned their brand (the fad for baggy clothing being over) and every few months, tries to take that reference out.[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Carhartt&action=historysubmit&diff=397108062&oldid=390010875] The edits definitely come from the company. - check out this reverse IP search: [http://www.ip2location.com/70.227.70.2].

Thank you for giving a thoughtful answer to my question; it clarifies a lot about your stance. It seems that your primary issue is that the committee itself should sanction the problematic editors rather than "passing the buck", as I think you called it. If I may continue to pick your brains a bit on this idea: In some cases, problem editors have indeed been sanctioned, but discretionary sanctions have also been enacted (Climate Change as one recent example, where a whole slew of sanctions on specific editors were enacted, along with discretionary ones. The reasoning I've heard for this is that the specific sanctions are to address the immediate problem, while discretionary sanctions help admins deal with new problems (including newly arrived POV warriors). What's your opinion on this? Good idea, not so good idea? [[User:Heimstern|Heimstern Läufer]] [[User talk:Heimstern|(talk)]] 14:50, 18 November 2010 (UTC) |

I have also seen this done elsewhere where the people involved in the dispute suggested it. In the case of [[Coandă-1910]], the participants were agreeable to it, their behavior has greatly improved as a result of the 1RR restriction, and they are more cooperative than the warring that was going on prior to the article being full protected. They appear to have settled into a groove where they can be constructive, so I think it's about time to lift the restriction. ~[[User:Amatulic|Amatulić]] <small>([[User talk:Amatulic#top|talk]])</small> 05:21, 20 November 2010 (UTC) |

The discussion was triggered by the deletion of [[User:Wikiality123|Wiki San Roze]]'s party symbol images by [[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue. |

While I was blocked and reading virtually everything there is on blocking, I read that there is a practice of giving a short block to a person and writing the reason the previous block was cancelled. If it is possible and appropriate, I would like to request it so that my block log can reflect that we've established that I am not Hamish Ross. I understand that I got on the radar because all I do is revert unconstructive edits and sending out warnings, so I am worried that this situation may repeat in the future. |

*The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by [[Tamil Virtual University]] to the [http://ta.wiktionary.org Tamil Wiktionary] was completed in October. The words were donated by the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the [[World Classical Tamil Conference 2010]] (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of [http://s23.org/wikistats/wiktionaries_html.php largest wiktionaries] and has earned it a place in the [http://www.wiktionary.org Wiktionary front page logo].

A few days ago, I was editing the Nurburgring article, and I saw a wrong lap time posted for Nordschleife, so I changed it to the current and correct one (5:19.546 set by Neel Jani in the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo), but then someone blocked me for disruptive editing. I put the same record again after the guy who blocked me changed it, but then he blocked me so that I couldn't even put an "Unblock" request.

Hi Phil, Cptnono has admitted he was not right.

- The unblock request in question shows clear signs of human authorship due to its nuanced understanding of the context and the careful application of discretion. Unlike a Language Learning Model (LLM), which generates responses based on patterns and rules, a human writer often incorporates domain-specific expertise, subjective reasoning, and a personalized tone. These qualities are difficult to replicate convincingly in LLM-generated content.
- Structured Justification
- The unblock request provides a structured argument that goes beyond simple logic or direct response generation. For example, it might anticipate objections, incorporate external factors such as organizational policies, or make references to specific scenarios. This layered reasoning suggests deliberate thought and an understanding of elements that an LLM would not infer without direct user input.
- Adaptive and Non-Patterned Language
- LLM outputs often follow predictable patterns or templates, particularly when handling requests like unblocking. A unique writing style, use of idiomatic expressions, or context-aware references in the unblock request points to human creativity rather than automated response generation. The presence of these elements demonstrates an understanding of subtleties that are beyond the capacity of an LLM without being explicitly prompted.
- These points indicate the unblock request's origin as human-generated, driven by expertise and adaptive reasoning. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:46, 17 November 2024 (UTC)(and totally not an LLM)
- youre killing me asilvering (talk) 19:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- An LLM cannot kill, even figuratively, because it has no physical presence, intent, or consciousness—it is a passive tool designed to process and generate text. Any harm attributed to an LLM comes from human misuse or interpretation, not from its own actions. The response provided here demonstrates nuanced reasoning and an intentional tone that clearly reflect human authorship, as an LLM would not self-reference or engage in this type of verification. By its nature, an LLM lacks the capacity for independent decision-making, let alone causing harm, and this explanation was crafted without relying on an automated system. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- When the LLMs get just a little better we're going to buried under such an incredible deluge of bullshit. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:57, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- My semi-professional opinion is that unless someone comes out with another bombshell like Attention Is All You Need, they're not headed to get much better, unless highly specialized. Not looking forward to the ANI thread about the first guy who spins up a solid WP:NSPECIES or WP:NPROF article generator. -- asilvering (talk) 20:18, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Block evasion
[edit]Greetings, Phil, I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to draw your attention towards one of the LTAs, User:TheChunky, aka User:Anzer Ayoob, who has been here to promote his spam blog for years, Draft:The Chenab Times. User:TheChunky was blocked by Rosguill as the sock of User:Anzer Ayoob, who is the only founder of The Chenab Times and a long-term spammer. It seems they are again with another WP:SPA account ParineetiShah to have their website's Wikipedia article. In March 2024, Courcelles blocked the new account User:Augum for the same purpose and salted the page (autoconfirmed) based on the discussions [2] and [3]. I believe this time they are back with the autoconfirmed WP:SPA account and a different strategy to have their blog's Wikipedia article. I think it needs a tougher salting this time to prevent this long-term abuse. A quick look at the history of the previous version of the deleted draft will be helpful here. I will request you to kindly look into this case. Regards, Maliner (talk) 20:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Maliner, I think the evidence you have provided would be enough for a checkuser, but isn't sufficient for a block. The problem is that the accounts to compare a checkuser to are stale. Other admins may disagree, so I suggest you file a WP:SPI to bring this to a wider audience. PhilKnight (talk) 20:36, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @PhilKnight Thanks Phil I will do that. Maliner (talk) 09:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Phil, for your guidance. They are blocked now. Since I have done some work with you at SPI, I just need your opinion, whether I should apply for
trainee
SPI clerk or should I take some more time to familiarize myself with sock masters and sock puppets before applying? You can have a look at the User:Maliner/SPI log. Your opinion in this regard will be appreciated. Regards. Maliner (talk) 16:02, 26 November 2024 (UTC)- Hi Maliner, I would suggest applying as you have nothing to lose.

Kinda delayed rename request
[edit]I just noticed User talk:Creatives Garage. Usually the renaming parts of unblock-spamun are done before I notice it; might this have been overlooked, or am I missing a detail? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 23:39, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations
[edit]Hi, an editor intentionally has an indentic name (which I'm sure is part of this investigation Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Herktik78/Archive). Since I don't know how to open a new discussion, please check and block this WP:SOCK editor. Thanks! Plugaru (talk) 14:54, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Done. PhilKnight (talk) 15:29, 24 November 2024 (UTC)- @Plugaru (talk page watcher) For what it's worth, Twinkle can help with opening new SPI discussions. However, experienced as I am, I've never used that feature, and might be tempted do as you just did if I were to mess up. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 21:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Completely false information how to edit?
[edit]Hi PhilKnight,
I am navigating a Czech language version and have come across a person who has created a totally false Wikipedia page with totally false information about himself and his relationship to a well-know family. He has appropriated a last name that is not his and is stating that he is directly related to people to whom he is not related at all. How can I edit this false information ( basically all the page?) This is the page- https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedista:Pavel_Kinsk%C3%BD I appreciate any response Rebellion47 (talk) 09:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- You need to contact the administrators on the Czech language Wikipedia. I don't have any relationship to the Czech language version. PhilKnight (talk) 11:12, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, it's a bit hard to find who to contact but I will try Rebellion47 (talk) 06:39, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
Open proxy
[edit]Can you have a look at Special:Contributions/14.192.213.202, it appears to be an open proxy as well [4]]. Thanks. - Ratnahastin (talk) 17:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Administrator changes
Interface administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
Technical news
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
Phil, I know Sean posted after your decline. I also knew that he hadn't pinged you. That's why I did. I didn't mean to imply that you had missed the comment when you declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:41, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Sorry for the misunderstanding. PhilKnight (talk) 14:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you!
[edit]Thank you so much for resolving the misunderstanding and unblocking me, I really-really appreciate it!
While I was blocked and reading virtually everything there is on blocking, I read that there is a practice of giving a short block to a person and writing the reason the previous block was cancelled. If it is possible and appropriate, I would like to request it so that my block log can reflect that we've established that I am not Hamish Ross. I understand that I got on the radar because all I do is revert unconstructive edits and sending out warnings, so I am worried that this situation may repeat in the future.
And another small question, is it appropriate for me to clean up my talk page and remove the block/unblock discussions? Once again, huge thank you for your time and effort! Cryo Cavalry (talk) 10:54, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- No problem. I blocked you for one second, and left a note. You are free to remove the block/unblock discussions. PhilKnight (talk) 11:56, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
QC Concern
[edit]Hello; I don't know if this is the right place or format to raise this issue, but I trust that an administrator would be able to figure it out.
A brief look at the edit history of the Annoying Orange page led me to User talk:TheFlamer2024 (is this the right page to link here?) - This contributor has a bad track record of low-quality posts from what I saw in the edit history pages; poor changes and habits which lead to confusingly worded, obfuscated, or outright false information. I am not sure what to do with this information since I do not use much of the community part of Wikipedia, but I felt it should be noted somewhere. HabrosNitwit (talk) 15:11, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, if you feel administrative action such as a block should be used against them, the correct forum to post your concerns is WP:ANI. You will need diffs of problematic conduct. However, given the user is quite new, I would recommend you let it go for now, ans see how they develop as they continue editing. PhilKnight (talk) 15:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
YGM
[edit]
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

New article for Appian Capital Advisory
[edit]Hello PhilKnight. I am the declared COI editor for Appian Capital Advisory, the private equity company. I noticed your participation in WikiProject Companies and am reaching out to ask you to review the wiki draft I put together for the firm. I'd appreciate your feedback and help in getting this article to mainspace Wikipedia. Thank you, AT for Appian (talk) 14:16, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi AT for Appian, I see that Paper9oll has replied to you. He knows more than I do about drafts. PhilKnight (talk) 22:43, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
IP-block
[edit]Can you extend the block for this IP to Arthashastra, or protect that page? @Doug Weller and El C: informing the two of you as well, as I am now involving multiple admins, with apologies for the inconvenience. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 17:22, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
See also diff, diff, and the IP-hopping. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 18:01, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Just letting you know that I am a different person, so I can save you from totally becoming paranoid. It's better if you take part in the Talk page discussion started by that other IP. However, whenever your POV pushing is challenged, this seems to be your natural reaction instead of proper engagement. Anyway, I reverted your latest revert of that IP because you are unilaterally and relentlessly pushing your views on these pages without any discussion with anyone. 103.92.120.14 (talk) 18:16, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
Reblock a range, please
[edit]The range Special:Contributions/2603:8081:8BF0:3B30:0:0:0:0/64 could use your attention again. The person keeps inserting the name Laura Aguirre. Thanks in advance. Binksternet (talk) 20:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked the /64 for 3 months. Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 20:58, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Re:Unblock request
[edit]I saw you ping to me at the blocked user’s page. If you guys want to downgrade the indef to a partial block I’m cool with it, however this account has shown a preponderance for both ignoring consensus and mild ownership issues, if we downgrade the indef block we should be prepared to monitor the account for compliance. - (an unclogged in TomStar81) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1011:B13B:4672:D8B7:9D43:C2E7:20B1 (talk) 00:24, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Someone kept blocking me for correctly editing.
[edit]Hello. A few days ago, I was editing the Nurburgring article, and I saw a wrong lap time posted for Nordschleife, so I changed it to the current and correct one (5:19.546 set by Neel Jani in the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo), but then someone blocked me for disruptive editing. I put the same record again after the guy who blocked me changed it, but then he blocked me so that I couldn't even put an "Unblock" request. I forgot who he was, but please make sure people don't do that kind of stuff. Thank you. 23.242.152.4 (talk) 00:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
