The user [[user:CurryTime7-24]] keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_(1960_film) |

|||
He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise. [[User:John40332|John40332]] ([[User talk:John40332|talk]]) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC) |

:It looks like all the additions use www.sheetmusicx.com as a citation. Do you have any assocuation with that website? --[[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 15:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC) |

::I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce. [[User:John40332|John40332]] ([[User talk:John40332|talk]]) 15:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:::The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that [[User:John40332|John40322]] added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher. |
|||
:::Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Tahiti_Trot&diff=prev&oldid=1265404421 This edit] at ''[[Tahiti Trot]]'' suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —[[User:CurryTime7-24|CurryTime7-24]] ([[User talk:CurryTime7-24|talk]]) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC) |

Now he is trying to [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism|report me as a bot]], when I'm clearly not one. At this point I'd like to know if there's a way to stop him from interacting with my edits, or some temporary block on him?

Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Backendgaming|SPI case]] against [[User:Backendgaming|Backendgaming]]. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following: |

All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with [[User:Backendgaming|Backendgaming]]. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of [[User:Backendgaming|Backendgaming]]? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as [[User:Backendgaming|Backendgaming]] remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/37.0.81.237|37.0.81.237]] ([[User talk:37.0.81.237|talk]]) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC) |

Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at [[Shin Godzilla (character)]] from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at [[Tiamat (Godzilla)]] declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at [[Kong (Monsterverse)]] additionally, and I just reverted a removal at [[User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki]] myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion.

i am a university student and was tasked with creating a wikipedia page creating a new page in wiki pedia in the path of expanding information. |
|||
i choosed "interactive artificial intelligence" as my topic and used the article "Interactive AI With Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Next Generation Networking" written by Ruichen Zhang , Hongyang Du , Yinqiu Liu , Dusit Niyato , Jiawen Kang , Sumei Sun , Xuemin Shen , and H. Vincent Poor as a source but i was striked as advertisement ban the second time i tried to publish the article i got permanently ban. |
|||
i want to ask for an reconsideration for uploading my article as i did not aim for any advertising and only stated IAI advancements againts traditional tools. |

:::Hi Fellow editor, Thanks for the response. The main concern was for me the [[WP:AGF]] and accusations of [[WP:Sockpuppetry]]. You re right about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sikh-history&diff=395969889&oldid=395913917 this]], and I should have responded in a better fashion. The reason for this particular instance is that on [[Jat people]] there had been a prolonged discussion by Admin [[User:Dbachmann]] into the removal of 19th Century sources. I must admit I get frustrated with the India based articles, as 99% of editors and anonymous IP's comes on to "big up" their own "caste" group. I will do better.

== Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors == |
|||
Hi Diannaa! I noticed your activity as a Good Article reviewer, and wanted to let you know about the [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors|Wikipedia Ambassador Program]], and specifically the role of [[WP:ONLINE|Online Ambassador]]. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes. |
|||
If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Guidelines|Online Ambassador guidelines]]; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply! |
|||
You can find instructions for applying at [[Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors#Becoming_an_Online_Ambassador|WP:ONLINE]]. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones). |
|||
I hope to hear from you soon.--[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 21:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC) |

:You need to get permission in place first; if you do not already have it go to [[Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage]] to get permission. Once you are ok'd, you can download the software onto your computer. On mine (Toshiba laptop running Windows 7) it placed the software and documentation in a folder in the "Documents" section. |
|||
::I have AWB perm, and it's downloaded. |
|||
:Start up the software and set the parameters: place the category you wish to review in the slot labelled "category" over on the left under "Make List". Press "make list" and it will generate a list of all items in the category. Click on the tab marked "skip" and ask it to skip all articles where no changes are made. It will then pause only on articles where if finds something. Once you press "Start" (a button available once you click on the "Start" tab) then you will be asked to log in. Use your Wikipedia username and password. The software will then begin reviewing the articles and pausing on ones where it finds things. |
|||
::So I can do any category, basically, that has Articles that need Wikification, right? |
|||
:As it is only judging whether or not there are enough wikilinks present, you will still need to review and add section headers, info boxes, and the like. You can also fill in the metadata at the bottom of the page on biographies. You will sometimes improve the linking as well, of course. I would tend only to do the simpler ones in the AWB browser window as it is quite small and a little more awkward to use than the regular interface. |
|||
::OK |
|||
:I have just been reviewing one month at a time (I am going to finish Oct 2008 in a minute), but if you wish to look at larger lists is is possible to save your work partway through a list. Just go to the "file" tab in the upper left corner and save the settings, either as the default, or you can create a different name for your save if you like.

:::Yeah, the filter you create is by inserting the name of the category you wish to review in the wee box. The AWB will check ''all'' its various parameters.

Hi Dianna.Sorry for the late merry Christmas and a happy coming New Year.I am going to try to write the Rajput article in chronological order.I will write the article on talk page first and then if you think it sounds ok to write on the main page the we will move it to the main page.I have read Col. James Tod,s Annals and antiquities of Rajasthan.There is material available on the internet on a website "Project South Asia" from Greek, Roman and Chinese sources. For Example, Megasthene,s Indika, Heaun Tsiang,s Bhuddist records of the Western world.All my material will be from the foreign sources which can be verified.Just bear with me for a few days.

:::Hi Dianna.It,s Rajbaz.I am trying to write the Rajput article in chronological order, so that it makes sense.I am using foreign sources only e.g., British historian Tod,s Annals, Greek historian Megasthene,s Indika, Chinese historian Hiuan Tsang,s Budhist records of the Western world.I am not trying to write Rajput hitory.That will be too long.Tod,s History of Rajputs is in 4 volumes with aproximately 1000 pages in each volume.This article is just going to be a drop in the ocean.this is just going to be a sketch for the main Rajput article in chronological order. |
|||
*The reason i am writing it on the Rajput talk page is for all the editors of this article to see whether they agree with it or not.I have already let Matthew Vanitas know about my intentions.If everyone agrees then we will put it on the main page.Cheers.[[User:Rajbaz|Rajbaz]] ([[User talk:Rajbaz|talk]]) 18:09, 11 January 2011 (UTC) |

:Certainly. If any of the information comes from books, newspapers, and magazines instead of from [[WP:PRIMARY|local knowledge]], you could put that in as a [[WP:RS|source]]. For example, if there are any newspaper articles in the local paper that discuss the economy, you could use it as a source to improve that section. If the temples have been discussed in any scholarly works, that would be a source for that section.

== Toronto election template == |
|||
Hello. I notice that you've speedy deleted one of my templates for the 1980 Toronto election. You've also returned the basic information to the Ron Kanter page (which I appreciate), but I can't help but think I should explain my logic in having created in the first place. |
|||
There are several templates of this sort on Wikipedia, and they're often posted on multiple pages. (This particular template could be posted on the pages for Ron Kanter, Ying Hope, and the 1980 Toronto election; in fact, it ''was'' posted on the last of these pages until someone removed it not long ago). Storing this information in template form makes it easier to make changes, when and as necessary. It also takes up less space. Until now, no-one has objected to the existence of this information in template form. |
|||
I can't help but think the original speedy delete was the result of a misunderstanding; I certainly don't regard the existence of the template as controversial. Would you be willing to restore the template? [[User:CJCurrie|CJCurrie]] ([[User talk:CJCurrie|talk]]) 04:47, 5 January 2011 (UTC) |

{{od}} Start paying attention in English class. ;) You might want to have a look at [[Wikipedia:Basic copyediting]]. That should have some good tips. Read it thoroughly, and if there are any linked pages that are associated with copy editing, read them, too. You may also want to read [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/How to|this page]] and the pages it links to. It's a lot of reading, but as long as it improves your copy editing skills, it's worth it.

Now, let's focus on your copy editing skills. If you're in school, ask your English teacher to give you a couple extra lessons about proper grammar before or after school.

It has been nominated for GA but there is no way it will pass in its present state, and it might not pass when I am finished. We shall see. With a huge article of this size, I usually only do one or two sections per day, as otherwise I start to get bored and don't do as good of a job.

== Please == |

Please stop following me around. |

According to Wikipedia, that is disruptive. |
|||
I have looked at major earthquake and major tragedies. Most have a reaction section and a debate. Why allow so many repeated debates when we know the question will pop up every few weeks? |
|||
To encourage debates so often is disruptive. I am revolutionary in foreseeing that these debates happen time and time again. |

By getting some discussion, we can help WP in the near future. We don't have to apply it to the Tucson tragedy. It is worthwhile to discuss if we should have reactions sections. If we do, it is helpful if we have an idea on who to include. Just who I want? Maybe what reliable sources are reporting? Or if Brad Pitt comments, include him???

::What I know is that many Hugglers have decided to try Huggle2 and have remained using it. It was founded in late 2010.

:::::Thanks for the reply. I didn't intend to have a discussion here, I would have preferred my page where your template is but here is fine too. It's a good thing I didn't use rollback even though this (these) IP is a vandal - see [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_current_communist_states&diff=prev&oldid=406998123 one ] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_current_communist_states&diff=prev&oldid=406642343 two ], different IPs same person. I think it's outrageous that you threaten to block me for standing up to this guy. Even if this wasn't a vandal IP, anyone who has ever gone near a newspaper knows that North Korea is a communist country and this IP is a fringe of the fringe. This isn't about North Korea or if someone wants to put his girlfriend's crotch on the Vulva article. When patrolling recent changes sometimes editors have to bend the rules and shouldn't be intimidated when encountering disruptive IP's. Common sense.

Why did you revert me?? I am pretty that the inclusion of a new team in a national league is not a sport highlight of a whole decade, even if it is in the NFL. |
|||
It is well known that Association Football is the most practiced and popular sport in the world, so I just reworded the entry on it and added some hyperlinks. |
|||
BTW, I edited the article again. |

PD: I didnt know how to contact you, so I edited this page, sorry for the inconvenience. |

User undid all my contributions
[edit]The user user:CurryTime7-24 keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_(1960_film) He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise. John40332 (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like all the additions use www.sheetmusicx.com as a citation. Do you have any assocuation with that website? --Diannaa (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce. John40332 (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that John40322 added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher.
- Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. This edit at Tahiti Trot suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- The "obscure" publisher has been in business for over a decade and is a respectable publisher
- https://daniels-orchestral.com/other-resources/publishers/s/
- Their publishings go back to 2010 https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Search?q=STRAUSS&num=25&start=0&enviro=prod&DateBucket=2010-2019%7C2010&DataSource=Library
- I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce. John40332 (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- I don't know why you specifically have to be convinced of it in order for edits to stick, but I'm done even trying, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's fake or dubious, it's people like you that make editing on Wikipedia so unpleasant. John40332 (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- You need to discuss this somewhere else please. Diannaa (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- The user:CurryTime7-24 continues harassing me and WP:HOUNDING, if I edit 4 articles he goes right there to undo what I edit, regardless of the content, you just have to see his history where he goes around reverting whatever I touch. Now he is trying to report me as a bot, when I'm clearly not one. At this point I'd like to know if there's a way to stop him from interacting with my edits, or some temporary block on him? He's making editing on Wikipedia very unfriendly and acts like he owns it WP:OWN. I cited proper sources in my edits, I don't know why he's been targeting me but it's exhausting. John40332 (talk) 09:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- This is already being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music and Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Sorry but I don't have time to get involved. It's an edit war orver the reliability of a particular website, and I don't have time to get into that.--Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Backendgaming sockpuppets
[edit]Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the SPI case against Backendgaming. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following:
All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with Backendgaming. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of Backendgaming? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as Backendgaming remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. 37.0.81.237 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikizilla; copyright or not?
[edit]Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at Shin Godzilla (character) from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at Tiamat (Godzilla) declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at Kong (Monsterverse) additionally, and I just reverted a removal at User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion.
