Can you take a look at this user's [[[REDACTED - Oshwah]|page]], as well as their contribs? They've added what appears to be their name and phone number on their page and are spamming multiple celebrity BLPs with same. I've reported them to AIV, but I thought some rev/del might be called for. I'm not sure though, so I will leave that to your wisdom. Cheers - wolf 08:19, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thewolfchild! I've gone through and taken care of the edits and revisions that weren't already suppressed. I appreciate you for reporting this and for making sure that the information is properly handled and taken care of. Next time, you want to report edits, pages, or user contributions that require suppression privately. Either email it privately to the Oversight team by clicking here (that's the best way to do it, since I might be offline or something), or you can email it to me privately by clicking "email this user" while on any of my user pages or by clicking here. You definitely do not want to report or post anything sensitive like this anywhere onto the Wikipedia project itself - especially my user talk page (since it's being watched by 862 editors as of the time of this writing... lol). Reporting sensitive information like this publicly will almost always result in the Streisand effect taking place - where most editors will read your report here and then quickly run over and look at the edits before they become hidden from them. That exposes the information to more eyes, which is something we try to avoid doing as much as possible. The less people that notice or see the edits and the sensitive information, the better. ;-) Just remember that for next time and you'll be fine... I'm sure you didn't know about this... and shoot, if I recall correctly, I made the exact same mistake when I first reported edits that needed suppression too. I'm pretty certain that this was when I first learned about Oversight in the first place as well... lol. :-) Anyways, all taken care of. Thanks again, and I hope you have a fun and stress-free holiday. Until next time! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:09, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah,

I wrote to you back on November 10 or 11, asking for your assistance, after I was banned by an administrator, unfairly IMO. Two other administrators replied before you did, one of whom explained where my offending edit was done improperly, although I never figured out why the two legitimate mistakes I made were worthy of a ban, as if I intentionally had vandalized.

Okay, it's now 38 (or so) days later.

I went back to the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez page, which is where I got into trouble into the first place, and made edits that I had clumsily tried to in November, being more careful this time around. I cited three sources: CBS News, the Jerusalem Post, and the Times of Israel.

And I was reverted in 15 minutes.

By whom? By the same editor who referred me for banning last time, "Tsumikiria".

And here was his given reason for reverting my edits:

 "we know Israeli media criticize anyone criticizing israel (sic)"  

He also dashed off a message to me, accusing me of "disruptive editing", of making "defamatory" editing, and also warning me that I would earn another block.

I would maintain the following:

1. The sources I used are all quite legitimate. CBS is neither Israeli nor known to be pro-Israel. The Jerusalem Post has a centrist reputation, as per Wikipedia. So does the Times of Israel, which also maintains an Arab-language site.

2. The Israeli sources used were quoting American figures on both the right and the left, not giving their own opinions.

3. Tsumikiria's revert is clearly unwarranted, and needs to be reverted itself.

4. Tsumikiria's comment regarding "Israeli media" is not only untrue, it strongly suggests an anti-Israel or anti-Semitic bias on Tsumikiria's part.

In that I am a lowly WP editor, with dreadful computer skills to boot, may I ask you to please get involved here? Please do NOT take my word for anything: See the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez article, and everything mentioned herein, for yourself.

Thank you, Vcuttolo (talk) 12:28, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vcuttolo, and thanks for leaving me a messages here with your request for assistance regarding the edits you made here to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The content you added seemed okay and well-sourced to me at first glance, but I didn't look at the overall picture in regards to the content, nor did I look at any current or ongoing talk page discussions involving this content. You should bring your concerns to Tsumikiria directly, and ask him/her to explain exactly why he/she reverted your edit to the article and exactly what was wrong with the content that was added. Tsumikiria added an edit summary with their revert stating that your edit added "undue synth" (or undue weight in regards to neutrality) and also stated in the edit summary, "we know Israeli media criticize anyone criticizing israel". I'm not sold on Tsumikiria's portion of the edit summary stating that your topic bans just recently expired. Past sanctions don't matter when it comes to adding content - they're over and shouldn't be used against you and as a reason to revert your edits. I'm also not very sold on the last part of the user's edit summary regarding the Israeli media either, but I'm also not an expert (no pun intended) on this article subject or the issue at-hand. In the end, the user is disputing your addition of the content, and (as difficult and frustrating as it can be) you need to respect that, discuss the dispute properly with Tsumikiria, and come to a consensus or resolution with them.

On another note regarding this (and possibly other related disputes), you should keep in mind that you just recently came out of two one-month topic bans (anything relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict, as well as anything relating to biographies of living or recently deceased people - both broadly interpreted); you need to be very careful with any content you add to articles under either of these topics for awhile (at least six months), and you need to make sure to handle any reverts, disputes, discussions, or issues with other editors over these topics with your upmost respect and care. The last thing you wanna do is start an edit war, make any edits that may be interpreted as disruptive, behave or make any uncivil messages or personal attacks in any of your replies, discussions, comments, etc., toward other editors, or do anything else that would otherwise get you blocked or have more severe sanctions or editing restrictions applied to you. Having more severe sanctions applied to you and over the same topics will make everything harder for you in regards to any edits involving those topics; it'll add or cast doubt to other editors when reviewing your changes or your comments in discussions, or even nullify any merit you may otherwise deserve (in other editors' minds) while attempting to argue your side of a dispute in relation to edits to articles under these topics... so be careful. :-)

Start a new discussion on the article's talk page with your questions and request for an explanation and assistance regarding Tsumikiria and his/her revert to the edits you made to the article, contact Tsumikiria directly by leaving them a message on his/her user talk page, point them to the discussion on the article's talk page and summarize that you're asking for an explanation regarding why your edits were reverted, keep your comments and messages civil, kind, and positive, and take things from there. If you do these things, refrain from making disruptive edits or causing an edit war, and always follow Wikipedia's dispute resolution protocol - you'll end up being just fine and the discussion will come to a peaceful resolution either way. Remember: Wikipedia is not about winning. Neither you nor Tsumikiria should ever have the mindset that "winning the dispute" is important or the objective and that doing so makes you a better Wikipedian or a better editor, and (on the other perspective) Neither you nor Tsumikiria should ever have the mindset or feel disheartened simply because you "lost a dispute" or that other editors look down upon you because of that (it's absolutely not true at all). You earn respect from other editors by always behaving civilly, obeying policies and guidelines, and always having the mindset that having content that reflects the highest-possible quality that we can write is the goal here. Good luck to you, and I wish you happy editing and a fun and stress-free holiday season. :-D Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 15:10, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response.

As mentioned above, Tsumikiria left me a note accusing me of "disruptive editing", of leaving "defamatory" information about AOC, and also threatened me with another block. I immediately responded, with no anger in my tone, explaining my edit, and asking where I had gone wrong? Tsumikiria ignored my rather reasonable question.

If you look over at the AOC page, you will see that he has been edit warring with everyone, carefully removing any word that might reflect negatively on AOC.

When did "Wikipedia" become "Hagiography"? Should we change the name?

Part of the reason I am reaching out to you is because in any digital contest, I lose. In this case, though, Wikipedia is losing.

If you look at the brief discussion on my page between Tsumikiria and myself, and certainly if you look at the AOC page, you will see what I mean.

Thank you, Vcuttolo (talk) 08:12, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Good luck. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:29, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

You are editing Meiling Melancon's page with incorrect information. She is not a Filipino immigrant. And to write this on Wikipedia would be false. If both her parents are not Filipino but were merely working in the Philippines, then she is not an immigrant. It would be like saying that Martin Lawrence, who was born in Germany to AMERICAN parents is an immigrant from Germany. Immigration from a country is only correct if the citizenship of the individual was at one time of that specific country which was never the case for Ms. Melancon. She was never a Filipino citizen. But a child born from foreign parents who were traveling through.

https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1024868/about

I am curious why you would continue to say she is an immigrant when there is no proof online except 3rd party sources that say she is incorrectly Filipino?

I have direct contact with Ms. Melancon's representation and I can assure you your changes are incorrect. Please consider the above. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AsianMediaLooks (talk • contribs) 22:51, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AsianMediaLooks! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your input and thoughts regarding the content you edited on Meiling Melançon (specifically, the edit you made here that I reverted). I appreciate your explanation and the IMDb link you provided as well, but I don't believe that IMDb is considered by the community as a reliable source, and I interpreted the phrase "Filipino-born" to mean that this person was born in the Philippines and not anything involving the article subject's parents and their places of birth or family origin - just where she was born. :-) Looking at the article, the content doesn't specifically state where this person was born - and since there also isn't a reliable source to support the information in dispute (that phrase), I agree that the information doesn't belong in the article and I see that it has since been removed. I apologize for reverting that edit you made and I appreciate you for messaging me about it and for doing your best to provide input and explain.

On another note, I unfortunately had to block your account from editing temporarily just a bit ago for edit warring. Please understand that you cannot continuously revert your changes to an article in a back-and-fourth manner like you were doing earlier today to Meiling Melançon. When a content dispute arises and someone reverts your changes and you disagree, you need to follow Wikipedia's dispute resolution protocol and start a talk page discussion regarding the content and dispute, and work with the other editor(s) involved to come to a peaceful consensus. Edit warring is disruptive, and the block was placed on your account simply to prevent more disruptive edits from occurring on the article. Assuming that you don't create an unblock request and ask for your account to unblocked early, the block will expire automatically in 24 hours; afterwards, you'll be able to edit Wikipedia as you could before. Please keep these policies in mind as you edit Wikipedia in the future and understand that edit warring, or repeatedly reverting an article in a combative fashion to restore the revision you believe is correct, isn't allowed. A good bright-line rule to keep in mind at all times is Wikipedia's three-revert rule. Basically, it states that making more than three reverts to the same article or page within a 24-hour period will usually always be seen by the community as edit warring and hence will usually always result in being blocked from editing. It does not explicitly define nor does it draw a clear black-and-white line between what is considered edit warring and what isn't; the rule simply provides a common scenario that, when violated, will almost always be considered edit warring in mostly all scenarios and instances, and any resulting administrative action that follows will almost always be considered proper and justified.

I hope my response has helped resolve some issues at-hand and to set expectations regarding proper editing and when to start a discussion instead of reverting the article. If you have any questions, please let me know. You'll be able to respond here after your block expires in 24 hours. Alternatively, you can message me on your user talk page here at any time (editing your own talk page is allowed while you are blocked) - just make sure to add '@oshwah' or '{{ping|oshwah}}' within your message on your user talk page so that I get notified that you're trying to talk to me. I wish you well and that you come out of this situation with a positive and open mind and that you see this as a learning opportunity, not something that will haunt you forever.

Hey, I created this Wiki account in ~2005 when I was about 15 years old and used to go by a very juvenile username (KittenKiller). Can you please change my username to FShah? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by KittenKiller (talk • contribs) 04:42, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi KittenKiller! Sure, I can do that for you right now. Please know that after your username is changed, your login information will not work until you use the new username you requested to log in. I'll make sure to add a note to your user talk page in case you get stuck there. Stand by... I'm changing it for you right now... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:47, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update:  Done. Your account username is now FShah, as you requested. Please read the message I left on your user talk page, as it contains the same important notice I left for you above (regarding the need to use your new username to log in). If you have questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:56, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I'm launching a project soon and I would like to have a wiki page created by a neutral 3rd party (due to conflict of interest). I can publish the information by an official tweet or on the project itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FShah (talk • contribs) 22:43, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FShah - Hey, good to hear from you again! You're very welcome - I'm glad that you're happy with the new username and that you were able to log in okay. Regarding the project you plan to launch: I highly recommend that you be extremely careful here... Things like this will easily begin to creep up and become tempting to mention or talk about on Wikipedia - even if it's only one time. Do not fall into this trap; stay completely away from talking about or even mentioning that this website exists at all here. Consider it completely shunned in your mind and never ever talk about it again on Wikipedia - ever. This is the only way that your edits will fully comply with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines and without question. I know it seems pretty strict to say it like this, but I've seen many other editors who didn't follow this advice and it usually always wound up resulting in issues later. If your project becomes notable, another editor will undoubtedly create an article and add content about it and you won't have to lift a finger; everything will take care of itself in that regards. Aside from Wikipedia, I hope the launch of your project goes well! I'm excited for you! Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them and help you. Have a great rest of your day, and I wish you happy editing. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:50, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I can definitely see how mentioning things like this can come back to hurt you. In that case, I think it would be a better idea to change my username (once again, i know) to CanIHaveYourMilkshake so as not arouse any suspicion (FShah is a portmanteau of my name). I've also made some edits to previous posts in this thread to conceal the specifics of the project. Fahad Shah (talk) 08:32, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FShah - If your request is due to possible concerns regarding your project or website, I wouldn't worry about it at all. It represents you as an individual person and I see no reason why it would cause issues or suspicion in those regards. I'd just leave your username as-is; no need to fix what's not broken. If you have other concerns about it or would like to discuss your request further, please don't hesitate to respond and let me know and we can definitely discuss it further. Otherwise, I recommend keeping it as it is now. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:43, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I'd be happy to keep this username (actually, I'd prefer it). I also have another gmail account (made just for the project itself) with it's own Wikipedia account. The email address itself has the site's name in it, but it doesn't look like Wikipedia exposes the actual email address, so I'd happy with having that account's username renamed to CanIHaveYourMilkshake. I can include it in this thread if you think it's a good idea. Fahad Shah (talk) 08:57, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FShah - Wait, are you saying that you have another Wikipedia account that was in relation to this project? Maybe we should take things back a few steps so I can better understand and give you good recommendations and advice. What exactly is this "project" you're referring to? Is it a Wikipedia project or WikiProject? Or is it something else that's completely unrelated and outside of Wikipedia? I saw that you changed your use of the word 'website' to now say 'project' - those two words mean and imply completely different things, so I think I should get a clear understanding and description from you about it, exactly what it is, and what it's going to do. Can you help me out by explaining this project in-depth for me so there's no confusion? :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bradleyagin! Welcome to Wikipedia! You're very welcome. Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial and before you do any large edits that involve content creation or expansion. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be helpful to you. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and it led to them being saved hours (if not over a day's worth) of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise. Please don't hesitate to leave me a message if you have any questions, get stuck anywhere, or if you need help with anything. I'll be happy to lend you a hand!

Dude i tried to create a article name Devendra Panday,but some editor put it in Page for Deletion as they cant find his name in google because google only shows his native name. so I add his native name in the article and add some links too and tried to remove deletion tag but you reverted it. please go through the article,verify and then help to remove that deletion tag. Thank YouNEPBOY (talk) 09:42, 17 December 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Hi NEPBOY! The only edit I made to Devendra Panday was this one. It restored the articles for deletion tag you removed from the top of the article (which is something that shouldn't be removed until the discussion is officially closed). My edit did not alter any content or article text; it simply restored that tag. You might be mistaking the edit I made for another one, perhaps? Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them and help you if you need it. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:34, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dude i have added some links to justify the topic,but i am unable to send message to previous editors,as i am new to wikipedia.if possible kindly look at the article Devendra Panday and give your opinion to the article whether its suitable to keep or delete.Thankyou very much for kind reply.NEPBOY (talk) 13:46, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NEPBOY! Thanks for following-up and for updating me on what you're doing regarding the article's content. There's an important concept that we need to go over before you decide to spent more time making edits to this article. When an article is nominated for deletion per articles for deletion procedures (which is the situation that this article is currently in), this means that a discussion is opened for editors to add comments and input regarding whether or not it should be deleted and why. A key guideline that will be the very center of the entire discussion will be the concept of notability, or whether or not this article subject is notable enough in order to have an article on Wikipedia.

Notability is absolutely unrelated and has nothing to do with the article itself; it is not determined by the quality of the article, how well it's created, how big it is, or anything else in relation to the article you created and built. Notability is generally established and determined by the availability of reliable sources that are secondary and completely independent of the article subject. These sources have to provide primary coverage on the article subject, and there must be enough reliable sources available to where a full article can be written and without the use of original research to add or fill in content. To summarize, the editors will search for sources that are available and can be found, and use that information to comment on whether or not the article should be deleted. There's nothing you can do to the article itself in order to make it "notable"; if an article subject is determined not to be notable, the only way that will change is if the subject becomes the center of more primary coverage and in reliable sources.

I wanted to take the time and go over this with you so that you understand that the article itself will have no bearing on this discussion (the sources you listed will be looked at and probably discussed) and whether or not the article subject is notable. I don't want to see you spend hours upon hours adding content to the article and with the belief that this is what you need to do in order to save it from deletion. This will disappoint you and leave you feeling disheartened if the article is deleted and after you've spent all that time ultimately for nothing. What can you do to help? Review the policies and guidelines I listed for you above - know what a 'reliable source' is, what 'secondary sources' are, and read through and understand more about 'notability' (the pages are linked above for you). After this, you can help by locating sources that meet the requirements listed in the policies and guidelines listed so that other editors can see their availability (in case they didn't find them in their searches). Otherwise, I'd let yourself relax and keep an eye on the discussion (which is linked in the deletion tag).

If you have any questions after reviewing the policy and guidelines pages I linked you to, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. I wish you a great day and good luck with everything regarding the article. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 14:14, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your kind reply and warm support. Now I am clear about the issue and waiting for the decision.Dude one question,if article deleted this time, can I create it later with the same name or not. Thank Youu.NEPBOY (talk) 15:51, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NEPBOY - No problem! I just don't want to see you left frustrated and feeling disheartened and over incorrect assumptions or expectations that were set. Yes, you can of course re-create the article later after it's been deleted. However, if the content is exactly the same and the article subject's notability hasn't changed either, it would be eligible for speedy deletion (where an administrator can delete the article without any kind of discussion first) because it would be eligible under this criterion (G4). Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:02, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They change Indonesian achivements with the Unknown contestant from some countries that was not competed for real, especially in the Miss International 1976, the Miss International Org. Admins already updated the page with the right information by adding some of the unknown name contestant that wasn't updated before, such as Miss Yugoslavia - Tulia Nirskha Marcic and release the information that New Zealand was withdrawn front his year competition and they make wrong announcement of data's since Miss International Organization was not allowed the contestant to compete without registration, its impossible for the organization to not being recognize and known the contestant names at that time since they have the real data of the contestants and placements of this year Miss International 1976 pageant. But this Vietnamese Users Nguyenquochieu2107 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) always trying to revert the right edits and trying to put back the New Zealand unknown contestant on the page of Miss International 1976 placements, they also deleted the best national costume winner which is Miss Philippines - Maria Dolores Suarez Ascalon is the winner of this title. He's also uses so kind of Bad Comment in the edit summary section (such as: shamed/ashamed, irrelevant comments) which is inappropriate to be published.

if you check his talk page "user:Nguyenquochieu2107 talk page". Wikipedia.

Hi again, Bradleyagin! Thanks for the message and the best wishes. I wish you a safe and stress-free holiday season, Christmas, and a happy and safe New Year. I hope you're learning the ropes here and that you're getting more and more comfortable with everything and how it works. Don't forget that I'm here if you have questions or need help; just let me know and I'll be happy to lend a hand. ;-) Thanks again!

I would like to thank you for your welcome to wikipedia. As an experienced web administrator I am very excited to be working on the biggest online encyclopedia. I strive to keep the internet free from cyber bullying and bad comments. Examknow (talk) 21:51, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Examknow! Welcome to Wikipedia! You're very welcome. I'm happy to see your enthusiasm here; It's really awesome to see that! You appear excited to join and help contribute to the project... that kind of excitement and enthusiasm you appear to have is something I rarely see with new users and seriously wish that I'd see 10000% more often - please don't change that about yourself or let anyone on here take that away from you. If you're interested in recent changes patrolling like you indicated on your user page and with your edits, you should check out the tools section of the project page. There are lots of great tools and programs that will make patrolling recent changes, reverting vandalism, warning users, and reporting repeated vandalism by a user to the proper noticeboard much, much easier.

Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial and before you do any large edits that involve content creation or expansion. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be helpful to you. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and it led to them being saved hours (if not over a day's worth) of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise.

Please don't hesitate to leave me a message if you have any questions, get stuck anywhere, or if you need help with anything - especially anything in regards to recent changes patrolling or reverting vandalism. I've been doing recent changes patrolling and the removal of vandalism for about 9 years now, so I'll definitely be able (and happy to) lend you a hand if you need anything! Again, I welcome you to Wikipedia and I hope you enjoy your stay. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:06, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I removed the external link you added to your message that provided the website that you say that you were an administrator of in the past, as well as what appears to be a company name from the subject header (to keep such personal information safe and hidden from public view). Depending on how involved you become with Wikipedia (I hope that you become deeply involved!), you may not want that information known to other editors here. I've removed it for your benefit just in case... trust me, I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't think you'd appreciate it later. ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:10, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah, I checked the link you removed and it was pretty hinky. I got all sorts of warning messages on my computer and it led to a blank page. I'm glad you removed it for the safety of other computers. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:36, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Liz - Huh... now you're making me curious... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Liz - I just get a generic HTML page with a message stating that "there's nothing here, yet..." and advertises buying/registering the domain from the company Hostinger. It looks to be a site where the owner of the domain stopped paying for the registration and hence it "became available / for sale" for someone else to buy. Doesn't seem to be illegitimate or malicious to me otherwise. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:43, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Funny, my browser gave me warnings that it was an insecure webpage. It does make you wonder why someone new would share that link as a way of identifying their business and skills. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:05, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Liz - What browser and version are you using? Did the warning(s) mention anything about a certificate? Or maybe that you were just navigating to an un-encryped or unsecured http URL? Yeah, I thought the same thing - why put a link to what appears to be an empty location or a place that you no longer have registered? The company that he added to the section header of this discussion (that I removed) was quite strange to me as well.... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Liz - Thank you for letting me know about the error. I will definitely look into it and get back to you. Thanks, Examknow — Preceding unsigned comment added by Examknow (talk • contribs) 20:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so I checked the website and the issue was that the domain had expired and just needed to be renewed. There were no security issues that my MacOS chrome browser detected so security wise I think that we are ok. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Hi Husham Al-Wasty, and thanks for leaving me a message here with your question regarding the deletion of your user page. Your user page was deleted because it met this section of Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. Specifically, it was because the content you added had multiple issues in regards to the compliance of Wikipedia's policy on user pages (specifically, this section) as well as Wikipedia's policies regarding what Wikipedia is not intended to be used for. The page contained content that wasn't directly related to Wikipedia, and instead contained excessive content about yourself and as if it was being created as a social networking profile or a resume, and the content can also be interpreted as an attempt to advertise or promote yourself - which is not the purpose of user pages nor what they are allowed to be used for. Please refer to the two policy pages that I've linked you to above for more information. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them and discuss them with you further. Thanks again for the message, and I hope that my response answered your question fully and was helpful to you. I hope you have a fun and stress-free holiday season and I wish you happy editing. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah and his crazy hair????? what have this at be with wikipedia ???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Husham Al-Wasty (talk • contribs) 08:50, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think your question here is attempting to compare my user page and ask why the page I constructed is acceptable while yours was not - that's a fair assessment, and I'll be happy to clarify and explain. While it's okay for user pages to contain some inane, off-topic, or personal information about yourself - it still needs to be primarily focused toward Wikipedia-related information and content. It also isn't completely focused on myself in an article-style manner, not is it constructed in a way that appears that I'm attempting to promote myself or build a profile page. This is where your user page and mine differ and where the line between what's allowed and what isn't are somewhat set. Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks again - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:07, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Oshwah, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.

How do you justifie allowing false information on page Mitrovica, Kosovo, information that is not in line with the resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council? And justifie disallowing editing of that information because of so called “vandalism”? By “vandalism” meaning correcting and adding information that is correct by the resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council and facts like the regional phone number to Kosovska Mitrovica +381 or registration plates KM (short for Kosovska Mitrovica)? Nik.kravchenkov (talk) 19:07, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nik.kravchenkov - If you're referring to the semi-protection that applied to Mitrovica, Kosovo, I did this due to the high rate of vandalism and disruptive edits being made to the article, including edits that weren't supported by any reliable sources (or any kind of references at all). If you wish to have something modified on the article, you can create an edit request for another editor to approve and apply to the article for you. Just follow the directions on the page I linked you to. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else and I'll be happy to do so. I hope you have a great day and a safe and fun holiday.

I am copying the page below. I think I got all the copyright issues resolved.

Ted's art appeared in every major magazine of the mid to late 20th century (Good Housekeeping, Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s Day, Parents, Playboy, Argosy, etc.) and on dozens of movie posters (the 1970 adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, Fiddler on the Roof, [of La Mancha] and Jim Henson’s Labyrinth among others.) His paintings were featured on many record albums (Weldon Irvine’s [[8]], Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 14, etc.) as well as on the covers of countless books, including those of Vladimir Nabokov, Jerzy Kosinksi, Anne Tyler and Joyce Carol Oates. His illustrations were featured in the Newbery-award winning children’s book Summer of the Swans and in many Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, such as those of James Michener’s.

Knowing the topic of which this user's name is related, I thought you'd like to take a look.

Users 1 and 2 come in and redirect an alt-right Japanese group to a very specific article, Hiromi Igarashi. I checked this redirect, and apparently you've semi'd and revdel'd things in the past with this exact article. The translations of the usernames are very interesting as well; having relation to Igarashi. Do you believe that these are sockpuppets of the same user that would have edited that page?

Note: at the time I post this, there may be more editors.

Both were banned; I believe by Drmies. However, I would still enjoy if you gave some insight on the situation. Thank you. Neo^t/_c 20:59, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Neolytical! Thanks for leaving me your message here with your questions. Looking at these accounts and their edits, I'd say that sock puppetry is extremely likely. Both of these accounts were created within just five minutes of one another (see their logs here and here), and made the exact same edit to the same article only six minutes between each other. Given what you said here about the usernames being similar and both being related to Igarashi, I think we have a slam-dunk open-and-shut case here. :-) I'll update the block on each account and tag them as sock puppets. Thanks for the message, and please don't hesitate to let me know if I can take a look at anything else for you, or if you need my help or input with anything else. I'll be more than happy to lend a hand. ;-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:06, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Not to press, but you just deleted material from a user talk page based on WP:DENY. I had to go and read over that. It appears to be an essay, and is described on the talk page as "not a proposal". As I am unfamiliar with this section, I was wondering if the deletion is properly allowed under that condition? I am not questioning that a deletion was necessary, only the conditions you described in your edit summary. Regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 00:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hamster Sandwich! No worries! It's a great question and you have every right to ask about my administrative actions and with no apologies. The edit in question was made by an LTA sock puppet account attempting to do their usual thing and just be disruptive. You're absolutely correct in that edits or logs must meet a criterion listed for redaction in order to have anything hidden from public view using the tool. The edit was certainly purely disruptive, but I'll use WP:DENY at times instead of the actual criterion in the reason because I feel that it's sometimes more appropriate.

WP:DENY, when applied properly and completely, goes beyond just ignoring the gouges and stabs that trolls make and to not feed them - but also to the level where we don't give them a single drop of our time, our energy, our thoughts, our efforts, and our reactions beyond what's needed in order to "scoop the poop". Redaction of some abusive and disruptive edits by LTA users are sometimes necessary in order to deny those users the recognition that they're trying to get from others. If it gives them a microgram of satisfaction and a millisecond longer of fame, I steal it all away from them and the content that would otherwise generate a response or reaction by other users simply gets ignored and fades away. It takes the edit off of everyone's radar and takes away what the LTA users want, and I know that it pisses them off to see their efforts to troll get kicked aside so fast and without a drop of effort that nobody even notices or bats an eye. THAT, my good sir, is how you apply WP:DENY to the maximum and like a fucking pro... lol ;-)

Please let me know if you have any questions about this, and I'll be happy to answer them, clarify, or explain further. Thanks for the message and your questions about this, and I hope you have a great day and a fun and stress-free holiday season. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:53, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understand: It's a shorthand version of "Troll/ Sock" reporting. No problems, just a page I watch and noticed the "trash removal". Of course. as someone who has had some rather serious, and needless accusations thrown at me, I urge utmost caution where it might be applicable.

I wish you and yours a very merry holiday season! Thanks for the explanation. Best regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 02:07, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hamster Sandwich - I just filed an SPI report for this case here if you'd like to read it. :-) Thanks again! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:19, 19 December 2018 (UTC) I'm a bone head. I meant to post this response in the discussion above. Sorry if it seemed random and confused you... lol[reply]

Thankfully, I have a deep understanding of Wikipedia: There's always somebody else willing to do it. I don't have to worry about the goofballs as much anymore. Sock investigations are out of my scope of interest... My new mission is to try and help people who are struggling, and help them engage in a productive way.

BTW are you a page mover or know someone who is? I am trying to help an editor who has made a good point about Blowup. The talk page discussion about the title as is is pretty mouldy (11 years, 7 years, and 4 years), the last RfC on the page move went "No Consensus" and I think the cites from IMDB and Allmusic (and the WP article Blow-Up (soundtrack)) all (except the WP ref!) warrant the title to be updated. Best regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 02:35, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hamster Sandwich - I can move pages, sure. I'll take a look and see what I can do. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:39, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, both discussions ('07 and 2014) closed as "No Consensus." There's a lot of muddy water there... and of course since it's a classic film, the refs. at the footer are immense. But as I'm laying out at WP:TEAHOUSE there's a strong point to re-visit with some clarity in the argument. One hopes. Cheers! Hamster Sandwich (talk) 03:58, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Hamster Sandwich! So... I'm an idiot. I meant to post the response I made about that SPI report to the discussion above this one, and I instead accidentally posted it here. I apologize if the response seemed random or made you ask, "why in the hell are you now talking about an SPI report?"... lol

Regarding the page move request: I took a look at the article, the talk page discussions, and the logs. I agree that the discussions are very old and never came to any sort of consensus regarding what the title should be called. However, I checked into the page logs and (ignoring the logs before 2018) I found that it was moved from Blowup to Blow-Up (film), then shortly moved back to the original title by another editor who disagreed with the move. This is ignoring the numerous page moves that took place and to many other variation of this. Since there was a somewhat recent attempt to move the article that was reverted and disputed, I think we should put a request in at Wikipedia:Requested moves so that it cam be discussed by others and a fair decision made. This'll assure that we're not starting another dispute or waking up a previous one. ;-) Please let me know if I can be of assistance with anything else, and I'll be more than happy to lend a hand. Thanks again for the messages, and I wish you a great day and happy editing. :-D Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:12, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking this IP address for "edit warring"....without warning....Is this a JOKE?? First off, the person who reverted my edit is the one make the initial change, adding a large amount of content without discussion first, so I reverted his/her edit again to revision and suddenly I'm the ONE who's denounced of edit warring. Secondly, my edit although is of large content removal but its MAIN content is the same, I just remake them to a shorter version. Thirdly those edits state clear valid reasons and there has been an ask for a consensus in the talk page, but little any one response.Cranepda (talk) 00:16, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's a user that left Wikipedia several years ago and has a bunch of subpages (that have not been edited in 5+ years and have no clear purpose). Is the policy to delete such pages per NOTWEBHOST? Enigma^msg 02:41, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Enigmaman! U5 refers to user pages that aren't in full compliance of WP:UPNOT or WP:NOTHOST - usually by brand new users who just created their account and make little or no edits outside of their user page. You've seen these kinds of user pages many times before, I'm sure... Examples that I typically find and delete under U5 are user pages that contain no content that's Wikipedia-related at all; where they talk entirely about themselves (add their DOB, name, location, other stuff), treat it like a user profile or social media profile, write about themselves or their band, rapper career, or other non-notable gig in an article-style manner, just add external links, or attempt to advertise or promote anything. G11 can also come into the mix here as well, as well as borderline-G3 content - I'll delete the user page under U5 instead of G11 or G3 if I'm certain they're not productive but where they're very borderline. What user account are you looking at, specifically? I'll be happy to take a look and give my input if you'd like - just let me know. :-) I hope my response answered your question fully and was helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions, need clarification, or would like my thoughts in a certain situation. I'll be happy to help you with anything you need. I hope you have a great day and a safe and stress-free holiday. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the detailed response! [9] [10] have a great holiday season. Enigma^msg 06:44, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Enigmaman - You bet! I hope you have a fun and stress-free holiday season as well. To give input on the two sub-pages you listed: these appear to be placeholder pages where the user was attempting to gather and organize sources and content. It looks like the user was trying to map or plan out an update or an expansion of content to the articles in relation. I wouldn't consider these disruptive or eligible for U5, and I'd just leave them be. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening Oshwah,

You recently deleted my user page I had started stating U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host. What I'm unsure of is why you'd do that... I had just started writing the intro to my profile. It appears you have the same exact thing on your profile - see here:

To me, this reads as the introduction to a blog post of which Wikipedia strictly prohibits. Would you mind explaining the difference between the one sentence I had written, and yours?

This is not meant to come off as defensive as I'm truly curious.

Thanks.

AmadD-Telfer87 - You're very welcome. I appreciate your understanding, and I really hope that you consider joining us as a user who wishes to contribute and become a long-term editor here. I have to say... your civility is a breath of fresh air and I think you'd succeed at being a kind and level-headed contributor to Wikipedia. Consider going through Wikiepdia's new user tutorial and giving it a chance. That's what I did almost 12 years ago when I was new and just like you, and I've been active here ever since! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:34, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wish to let you know that the ip that made this edit is the latest sock ip of a long-term, IP-hopping vandal who constantly does unconstructive edits like that while totally heedless of the trouble it makes in the process. I recommend blocking it for a while or page-protecting some of its recent target pages.--Mr Fink (talk) 13:06, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Apokryltaros! Thanks for the message and for letting me know about this. Can you provide me with any of the other IPs that this user has been using to be disruptive so I can do some investigating? Any diffs or additional information you can provide about this long-term vandal will be helpful. Thanks again for the message about this. I'll do some investigating with what information I have while I await any additional details from you. Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:13, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Oshwah, I hope you are well :). I want to chat about something with you, but I want to do it in private :). Is it alright if I email you?.

Vauxford - If you've read this section of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines regarding what Wikipedia isn't designed to be, you'll know that Wikipedia editors are 100% free to stop editing, resume editing, take a break, change their minds, and come back to edit any time they please. Why are you telling EurovisionNim otherwise here?
