User:Thegooduser/Nightpedia.js

It's not working any advice?.... Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 02:59, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Thegooduser - You didn't link this .js file to any other of your main .js files that the system uses when loading pages. The way you have it now just makes it an unused script that's just sitting there... It won't work unless you link it. I modified your common.js file for you to fix the problem - you can see what I did here. I hope that makes sense, and I hope this fixes your problem. Good luck! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:23, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Rehanxidrisix! I believe that your message is in relation to the notices I left on your user talk page regarding the addition of content without citing reliable sources. Please make sure that you search and locate reliable sources to verify the content you're adding is true and correct, and then cite those sources in-line with the content you're adding. The links I provided for you here will provide you with more information and examples of how to do these things easily. Please let me know if you run into any questions after reviewing the guidelines I provided to you and I'll be happy to answer them. Happy editing! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:27, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Amaury! Welcome back :-)! Sorry for the delay responding to your message here - I was away taking care of a few real-life things ;-). I've added pending changes protection to the article for one year. If this doesn't slow down the amount of unverified content being added to the article and if the problem still continues and at a high editing rate, let me know and I'll be happy to take another look. Keep me posted and let me know how this does. Cheers ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:30, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

You were wrong.

This edit is in no way a violation of the edit restriction. The restriction is about linking to external behavior of other editors. A blog website is not an "editor", and the blog in question does not mention any off-wiki behavior by an editor. It cites a couple of forum comments, but they were not written by Wikipedians! If you imply they were, you're the one violating the WP:OUTING policy. I'm writing this because he was indeffed for an actual violation of the edit restriction. If you agree that you were wrong, the block can be perhaps reduced to time served (as the first actual violation of the editing restriction). wumbolo ^^^ 19:37, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)We can't take any off-Wiki sources. Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 20:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wumbolo, and thank you for leaving a message here with your concerns and input. Without going into much detail, it was pointed out and agreed by someone in ArbCom that this was a violation of the user's editing restrictions. I can't state much more than that, since most the conversation took place with an expectation of confidence. If you believe that the user's action did not violate the editing restriction set by ArbCom, and if you believe that the sanctions applied in response to the behavior observed were improper, you're welcome to discuss this with ArbCom directly by contacting the committee. That's completely within your right and your prerogative to do and I absolutely won't hold it against you should you decide to do so. Either way or either result that comes from doing so won't bother me, and I'll be happy to do what's right (that, overall, is what's important... I want to do the right thing). I won't, however, be the correct person to contact in regards to this user's indefinite block as someone else has performed this action, and I took no part in the discussion or decision to do so (that I remember at least). I appreciate you for taking the time to leave me this message and express your thoughts and opinion; my user talk page is open to all - even those who disagree with me. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to discuss them with you. Thank you for expressing your honest thoughts and doing so in a civil manner. Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:42, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

didnt make an edit but told did

hi i got a message from you that i made an edit but i didn't, i dont even really know who ricky ponting is, so i am unsure what this all means ------95.146.43.33 (talk) 01:10, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hi IP 95.146.43.33. The message Oshwah left at User talk:95.146.43.33 is more than three years old, so the edits in question might have been made by someone else using the same IP address. If you didn't make the edits, you don't need to worry about the message. Now, if you want to create a user account that only you will be able to use, then you can do so per WP:REGISTER. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:20, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Is this allowed on Wikipedia???

Just wondering but, User:TheUltamateBoss3900 has "Hello this is my new Wikipedia account please do not go to my other account User:TheBigBoss3900 because I have officially retired from that exact account again I am terribly sorry." on his main user page. Just wondering if this counts as a Sock puppet seeing as BigBoss's last edit was 9 August 2018 and UltamateBoss first edit was 21 August 2018. I also found it odd as BigBoss has several warnings on their talk before "Retiring" and creating a new name. 2601:805:8205:7E0A:3C91:80FD:98F1:EF02 (talk) 05:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Investigating... Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 21:01, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

I took a look at the user's accounts, and it seemed like none of them were blocked. But I tagged one the new userpage as a U5. Seems Strange.... But they are not blocked on both accounts. I leave this for Oshwah or another admin/user to take a look. Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 21:05, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! Sorry for the delay responding to your question here. I personally would not consider this situation an abuse of multiple accounts, as the user clearly associates his/her latest user account with the older account he/she used to edit Wikipedia under. There may be a perfectly legitimate reason that the user decided to "retire" under the old account and begin using another one (i.e. to stop harassment, under a clean start, etc). So long as the user only uses their latest account (which appears to be TheUltamateBoss3900) and never uses the accounts in order to avoid scrutiny, evade blocks, or in a manner that attempts to imply or state that they're participating as two different people - then it's fine. I don't see a block log present on either user account, but if one account did become blocked (as an example) - depending on the reason and circumstances behind the block, it would be up to the blocking admin if they feel that its necessary that both accounts become blocked. I personally will usually extend indefinite blocks placed upon a user to all of the user's alternate accounts as well (depending on circumstance, of course). Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks for the message and I wish you happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:40, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Editing of Lee Rowley page

Hi again Oshwah,

Have hit another issue with a page. You kindly helped with the Robert Buckland page last month and that is fine after another editor blocked the guy when he registered a new account and attempted to delete material again.

Having updated over 100 MPs pages, of different political parties, I have only had issues with two of them (Robert Buckland and Lee Rowley). I had moved onto editing MPs from another political party this week, but had a quick check over old edits. It turns out that since I last edited the 'Lee Rowley' page earlier in the year a number of unregistered user(s) have been deleting all the stuff I put in for balance. In one case, an entire section relating to a case reported by the BBC had been deleted. None of the edits ever come with an explanation on the talk page. Despite my best efforts to get them to debate content on the talk page, they refuse to. The style and approach suggests they may just be one person (possibly the subject of the page itself) and as they are unregistered users, they don't edit anything else and are difficult to 'talk with'. The most recent unregistered user has seemingly only made 1 other edit, which was last month and involved vandalising another page (for which the user 'tucoxn' sent them a warning). On the Lee Rowley page, they keep just deleting everything - twice now in 24 hours. They claim they are acting in line with the edits of 'others', which in real terms is unregistered user(s) from 4 different IP addresses, which may just be the same person (them!) Given that they are unregistered and are potentially using multiple computers, I guess they can't be blocked, but is there something else that can be done to the page?

Incidentally some of my editing has been flawed, but I have responded to advice from other wiki editors and changed the way I do things as a result. As such, i'm more than happy for other experienced editors to jump in and critique what I have written on this page (and any others).

Thanks, Impsfan (talk) 20:35, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps if Impsfan didn’t delete from talk pages and the users own talk page attempts by other editors to discuss contributions Impsfan would be able to reach consensus. Instead you ignore debate. Your edits are delete anything positive about an MP and add spurious material often with minimal connection to the actual subject. You breach NPOV guidance frequently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.186.144 (talk) 22:41, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

I just looked through Impsfan's contributions and I don't see any edits where Impsfan removed any content from a talk page at all (except for his own user talk page). User's are allowed to remove warnings and messages from their own user talk page (see this guideline section), but the removal also implies that they've read and acknowledged those messages. It looks like the accusation of "ignoring discussions" and "adding or removing content that shouldn't be" go back-and-fourth. If you're going to accuse another editor of breaching Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy (as you said above), you must also provide evidence alongside those accusations (such as diff links) to back them up. It's a violation of Wikipedia's civility policy to accuse another editor of repeatedly violating Wikipedia policy (an accusation that's very serious) without any proof or evidence. Regardless, it looks like this article has been the subject of recent content disputes and edit wars, so I've added extended confirmed protection to it in order to direct all users involved in the dispute to take the discussion to the article's talk page here. That's the fair and right thing to do that will ultimately resolve the issues and concerns being expressed here. Please continue (or... start) your discussions there, respond and provide input in a civil and peaceful manner, and please don't update or modify the article any further until the discussion comes to a consensus. I wish everyone well, and I hope that the discussion comes to a peaceful and successful closure. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:12, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hashemites

Hello Oshwah I changed Hashemites to Hashmi because that is the correct word to describe the members of the tribe as it is general knowledge in that part of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiman1x (talk • contribs) 04:10, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wikiman1x, and thanks for leaving me a message here with your explanation of the edit you made to Hashemites. The reason I reverted the change was because the word that you modified differed away from being the same as the article's title, and I grew concerned. I would advise leaving a note on the article's talk page here explaining your edit and why you changed it (as you did here) so that other editors can provide input - especially when I see that you've made a few edits to this article and other editors have also reverted them. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks again for taking the time to message me here and explain your edit.

Hi Mohit1212, and thank you for leaving me a message here. There are a few things that you need to work out before creating an article or adding any content about this team, else you'll wind up spending hours if not a full day of time writing content here just for all of it to be removed or deleted and your time completely wasted. Is this sports team notable? I also note that your account is very new. Because of how new you are to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial and before you do anything else here. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be helpful to you (including article creation and content expansion). Most users who take this advice tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them, and led to them being saved hours (or in your case, days) of time and frustration. This is obviously your choice, but I would not skip going through this tutorial. It's for your benefit, and it will help you. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else and I'll be happy to do so. Thanks again for the message and I wish you happy editing! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:52, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

I think it is Shah Khwaja (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who you indeffed for socking. I think he likes us reverting him so he can replace it. It puts him up a rung? Thanks again. I'll send you more hail. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:52, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim1138! You appear correct - the edits between the indeff'd account and the IP user are nearly identical. I've blocked the IP user for block evasion. Let me know if you see any more and I'll be happy to take care of it ;-). Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:54, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

36 v. Materialscientist's 168... As Arny said: ! Any other ideas about this? Taking the articles off my watchlist might be the best solution. Thanks and cheers Jim1138 (talk) 11:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Jim1138 - LOL..... ohhhh, Arnie.... ;-). That's up to you; if the articles are flooding your watchlist and causing annoyance, definitely remove them for a bit. I'd have to look into how often this is going on before I could determine if protection is appropriate here, but if this is an ongoing thing that happens at a higher than an occasional rate, then that would be a potentially good option. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:23, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Jim1138 - Yup, protection it is... lol. I've added semi-protection to the three articles you listed here and for three months. Are there other articles I should look at, too? Let me know. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:26, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

That's the three the anon's been "correcting". I wish he would talk, maybe he is correct... I don't know if the anon knows he can access via another IP or not. Thanks again. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 12:09, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Jim1138 - No problem :-). You could try reaching out, but I give it a low probability that the user will see it. Worth a try though, maybe... but I'll leave that up to you. Cheers ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:13, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Message re. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (HG) (3.3.3)

In reply to this message, of February 2018: Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

I cannot recall the exact text that I added to that entry, but I my source was personal: my best friend, somebody that I have known for 38 years, was Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's high school science teacher at CRLS. She told me what he was like as a student in her class. So what you deleted, will remain deleted, which is very sad. I wonder why you did not ask me first, before deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.231.177.34 (talk) 11:40, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, and thanks for leaving me a message here with your explanation and your questions. Unfortunately, we cannot accept content where a reliable source is needed or the content is challenged or based on information where a source is expected, and none is provided or doesn't meet the criteria for being considered reliable. The source that you explained here is not acceptable, as this constitutes original research. Things such as "I saw it", or "I live here", or "I personally know the person" - do not qualify as reliable sources within Wikipedia articles. In a brief explanation: You cannot cite yourself or your friends as a reference like this. Would you consider content that's written based off the personal recollection or experience of a complete stranger as reliable if you were reading an article, document, or information? Of course not. How silly, right? How would other people go about verifying the information you added to the article if the only "source" is someone's recollection or experience and nothing else? What if, 100 years later, someone reads this article? How would they know that the information is valid and true? They of course wouldn't be able to know for sure... These questions are hypothetical, but will hopefully help explain the reasoning behind the existence of this policy. All content on Wikipedia must be either attributable or directly attributed (cited) by a reliable source. This is why your edit was removed. Please let me know if you have any questions about Wikipedia's policy on no original research being allowed or how to identify a reliable source, and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks again for the message, I hope that my response has helped you to understand, and I wish you happy editing! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:08, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

North Africa page

Hello Oshawa. How are you?, It has been long time no talk, I hope you are doing well. There is a suspected sock who was disruptively editing the page of North Africa, he was refusing to engage on the talk page and after many warnings, he finally did and once I refuted his claims, he refused to continue the discussion on the talk page and came to attack me personally and threaten me on my page which is also an additional evidence of his sock puppetry as Middayexpress/Soupfrone had the same exact habit!!!! Look at the discussion here on the talk page!!! [1].

He again reverted my edits and disruptively edited the page ( and attacked me in his edit summary ) after refusing to engage on the talk page and then requested protecting the page and his request was accepted without reverting his disruptive edits, I have also requested page protection when this suspected sock disruptively edited page. However, the admins declined my request for this reason!! [2]. I would be grateful if you revert his disruptive edits (which wasn't supported by consensus) while keeping the page protected.

Moreover, I am VERY VERY sure that this guy is the banned user Middayexpress, I have been battling this banned user for quite a long time and I know him VERY VERY well, this guy has been vandalizing Wikipedia for many years as well as he is the most persistent sock puppeteer in Wikipedia, he should hold a Guinness record in sock puppeting!!. The only thing which I did and was unprofessional while fighting this suspected sock this time might be dealing with him in a harsh way, but I am a human, not a robot and any human with blood running through his veins and a bit of scientific honesty will get angry If he watches vandals and unchallenged sock puppeteers destroying one of main the sources of knowledge in our world. Unfortunately the persistence appearance of people really like Middayexpress/Soupfrone on Wikipedia very much discourages the good users from editing and are why Wikipedia occasionally gets a bad name.

I have already filed a sock puppetry report against this suspected sock here [3], I would be grateful if help me in taking an action against this user, you can check my report and evaluate the behavioral evidence and leave your thoughts which will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Ryanoo (talk) 13:08, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi again, Ryanoo! Thanks for the message and your request for help here. Whew, that's a lot of information... but from what I'm seeing based off your SPI report, you suspect that Itaren is a sock user of Middayexpress. Are there any other accounts or users involved in this dispute on North Africa or it's talk page? Or is it just this Itaren account? On the SPI report you filed: did you make sure to add as much detail as possible and include as many diffs between the accounts comparing their similar habits as you could find? You also included the diffs where the user used similar uncivil comments toward you, correct? I can definitely take a look at the SPI and the evidence you provided there. If there's diffs you listed here but not in the SPI, add them to your evidence explanation in the SPI. Information that's here but not there won't be helpful, obviously ;-). Make sure all of that is provided so that an admin or clerk can easily go through and look at the evidence and we'll make sure that your report is looked into as soon as possible. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns while this SPI is awaiting review, action (if applicable), and close - and I'll be happy to answer them and help you. Thanks again for the message; I assure you that myself (or another admin if they beat me to it) will begin looking into your case as soon as we can :-).
