Listing copyright problems

Hi! Thank you for the trouble you've taken to identify possible copyright problems and list them at WP:CP. Your help is much appreciated. Could I just remind you, though, that there are two steps to be taken when doing so, two bits of pre-formatted text to be copied from the blanking template: the first is the listing, as you've been doing; the second is a notification to the editor who added the suspect content, which in the recent case of the Deutsche Post article, you seem to have overlooked (I've now done it). Of course, if you can't identify who added the copyvio, you can skip that step - it can always be done later by someone else. If you need advice on how to go about any of this, please feel free to ask me, any time. Meanwhile, thanks again! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:35, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Okay. I couldn't work out who had put the copied stuff in and didn't want to wrongly accuse anybody. I'll refrain from reporting these things in future if I'm causing problems! Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers! Trey Maturin (talk) 15:06, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

No! Please don't! Refrain, that is. If you see a copyvio, please go ahead and list it. The worst that happens if you don't manage to notify the editor is that, as in this case, it sits for rather longer at WP:CP. That's still far preferable to having the copyvio remain in the article. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Two tools

Hi! Thank you for identifying the copyvio at Shake Hands Forever. When I posted here before, that was never meant to be taken as a request not to list copyvios if you notice them; I didn't mean that then, and I wouldn't want you to think it now. It's far better to list the copyvio without doing the notification than it is to just let it lie! In case it helps, there are a couple of tools that can help with finding who added what and when: this one and this. In both of them you can put in the article title and some text, and see who added it first. The second one looks better, but unfortunately doesn't always give accurate results. Thanks for your help!

"Died by suicide"

See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 197#Use of "died by suicide" at the David Reimer article and Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 140#Stigmatizing language regarding suicide. This has already been discussed multiple times. There is no consensus at all on Wikipedia to go with "died by suicide." If you want to enforce this wording, I suggest you start yet another discussion on it at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style or WP:Village pump (policy).

Hi Trey, Thanks for alerting WP to the contradiction in the JK pink Chanel suit page. Despite my having written most of the material, I think that you were right to do so; I have rewritten the relevant sections to straighten things out. I'd be interested to know whether you think this is sufficient. Regards, Ericoides (talk) 19:06, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

John Edmunds

I’m afraid I don’t have a source for it apart from my own personal knowledge. In the 1970s I worked with him on various drama committees when I was a student in Aberystwyth and at that time his boyfriend/partner was well-known to us at the university. Sorry I can’t help more.

Wish FM

The article Wish FM keeps being moved to Greatest Hits Radio Wigan & St Helens by Talk:CCCC10. Is this appropriate as I note that a number of these are being reverted after this user moving them and changes are undiscussed? Londoncertified (talk) 16:13, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

No, it's not an appropriate move. There's no radio station called "Greatest Hits Radio Wigan & St Helens" - just a page of the GHR website called that because it contains some semi-local news. The article should either be at Wish FM and in the past tense, or redirected to/merged with Greatest Hits Radio North West. Sadly, the user in question keeps making these type of moves based on scant/non-existent information, apparently out of a need to make everything conform neatly to a set pattern that doesn't exist in real life. ◦ Trey Maturin 17:55, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Um...

That is make sense and stop removing it and ≠ the same thing without it or superflous and resume blocked from editing Frank6292010 (talk) 15:46 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• @Frank6292010: 'That is' is awkward and clunky, as well as being borderline illiterate. Nevertheless do not use automated tools to revert anything other than vandalism especially when using an incorrect edit summary - it is a misuse of those tools. Also, sign your posts on talk pages. ◦ Trey Maturin 15:43, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
  • A reduced relative clause is not wrong, but a non-reduced one is very much not borderline illiterate, either. Uncle G (talk) 17:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add vandalism content, as you did at TBN Salsa and News 12+, you may be blocked from editing. Frank6292010 ((talk)) 15:50, April 12 2021 (UTC)

• @Frank6292010: Okay, now you're misusing warning templates. Uw-unsourced3? Because I removed the words "that is" from an otherwise illiterate sentence? Cor. ◦ Trey Maturin 15:53, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Frank6292010, please refrain from marking your edits with the RedWarn distinguisher (RW 16.1) if they are not made with RedWarn (as you have done in multiple edits). While not against policy, this tag is present for maintenance and observation purposes. ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 15:59, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Rip it up and start again

Noted your comment at the PROIV XfD and would just like to commnent I prefer to WP:STUBIFY rather than WP:TNT unless serious copyvio issues. I alsos like to see the prevservved history, which way COI editors have tried to slant and article and who they are, diagnosis of copyvio of your wrote it first from other Wiki sites. That the approach I generally taken anyway. If your writing that essay at some point ping me. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:02, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

2022 Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council election

Hi Trey Maturin. Thank you for your work on 2022 Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council election. Can you please help by adding the percentage increases and decreases for the rest of the wards please? Only some of them are properly filled out. Similarly, in the tables for a lot of the wards the parties/candidates aren't currently correctly ordered by largest party at the top of the table descending to the lowest in vote order. If you could correct this too it would be much appreciated. Cheers. Helper201 (talk) 17:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Actually, I'm in the process of doing the order corrections myself. I could just do with you adding the remaining percentage increases and decreases for the parties in each of the wards where they aren’t already there. Cheers. Helper201 (talk) 17:11, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

The percentages aren't in the source I used, @Helper201, so unless you know of a source that has them, adding them would be original research. — THIS IS TREY MATURIN 19:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

You have reverted peer review

Slow down with your patrol reviews, Special:Diff/1100385419 reverted peer review aimed at improving the article by discussion on talk page. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

You called it a 'review', not a 'peer review'. It isn't a peer review, it's clearly your review of the system, as especially evidenced by it being headlined, by you, 'review'. Please review, no pun intended, WP:NOT for further information, and also wind your neck in a bit. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 17:07, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

It was not intended to be, but I've now retitled it as peer review now in reply to the OP who added a list of features and other statements to the article. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 17:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

1.1.1.1/WARP

An edited copy of what I posted at Meta, which Xaosflux suggested I post here as the place I do 99.9% of my editing....

{{unblock}}

• For IPBE reviewing admin, see also meta:User_talk:Trey_Maturin. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:50, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
  • There is also an enwiki local block on this, so would still need local action. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Are you sure you're hard blocked? I don't see any hard blocks active on any of your IP addresses, and this article from PC Magazine says Cloudflare's WARP service shouldn't hide your IP address. Are you using Apple's Private Relay or Mozilla VPN? If so, you can simply turn them off. Can you exempt *.Wikipedia.org from whatever Cloudflare app you have installed? It looks like you can do so following these instructions (and this, too). You will likely need to exclude "wikipedia.org", "*.wikipedia.org", "wikimedia.org", and "*.wikimedia.org". You might have to ask for help from a network engineer. But if you try that and can't edit, I can give you IP block exemption on English Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:16, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: On my work Mac I don’t use Private Relay, and I use Chrome as my browser. The only change to my setup has been installing the 1.1.1.1 app. The moment that was added, I stopped being able to edit anywhere but my Meta talk page.

I’m on my work iPhone at the moment, and I’m also blocked from editing, including this page. Cloudflare WARP is on; I’m using Chrome for iOS; again, no Private Relay and 1.1.1.1 app is the only change recently made. The block message the same as above, and reports my current IP as 2a09:bac0:376::82a:ac8a. I’ll check out the links above when I’m back in the office tomorrow and see if IT will let me make the changes you suggest. Thank you! — Trey Maturin has spoken 00:49, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

(edited to add: I’ve just switched WARP off on my mobile, sod my IT department!, and editing is back working, which allowed me to post this. My IP address is back to being a standard one from my ISP’s pool.) — Trey Maturin has spoken 00:52, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

This is a test of editing after excluding wikipedia.org in the 1.1.1.1 iOS app. — Trey Maturin has spoken 01:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: We have a winner! Well, for me anyway, and assuming IT don’t mind (what they don’t know can’t hurt them…). Many thanks to you and Xaosflux and apologies for causing bother! — Trey Maturin has spoken 01:16, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

OK, but if the app has to be re-enabled, it should work if you whitelist the above domains. If not, I can give you IPBE. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:20, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

This is a test of whitelisting *.wikipedia.org on Cloudflare WARP/1.1.1.1 on my work computer. — Trey Maturin has spoken 16:04, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

✔️ It worked! Cool. — Trey Maturin has spoken 16:05, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

explanation

One response was to clarify because obviously I had not been clear. Two were replies to blatantly false statements/accusations about me and one was a "thank you". If that is "bludgeoning" we might as well give up on any constructive dialogue. Your remark (one accusing me of bludgeoning a discussion...and then saying I shouldn't reply because that would be bludgeoning is little more than taunting. Please stop.
