Welcome to my talk page!
Please place new messages at the bottom of this page, or click here to start a new discussion, which will automatically be at the bottom. I will respond to comments here, unless there's a better place for them. Please read the following helpful hints before posting:
- Wikipedia is a volunteer curated encyclopedia. That means it is not a social networking site, a place for self-promotion, a marketing medium or a free web host. You are expected to be familiar with the goals of this project before you post here.
- Think. Use common sense. Read this before posting; failure to do so may result in your posts being ignored or mocked.
- If you wish to discuss your link additions, I advise you to be read our conflict of interest and spam policies before posting. These pages contain information about the appropriateness of link additions.
- I prefer to be contacted here (as opposed to email) where possible. You're much more likely to get a prompt response.
- I do not consider unblock or undeletion requests sent via email. Please refer to Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks to appeal your block. You may request undeletion here.
- Off-wiki evidence of undisclosed paid editing must not be posted here. These, and complex cases of paid editing will not be acted upon. In both cases, please email paid-en-wp
wikipedia dot org.
Explaining lingua
Ive come across this saying “you don’t need to be paid to be a “paid editor” can you be so kind as to elaborate on this? Celestina007 (talk) 17:55, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Unpaid (with money) interns and those receiving payment in kind are considered paid for the purposes of our policy (see WP:PAID). Also one does not have to be paid explicitly to edit Wikipedia, being an employee is enough. MER-C 18:09, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
Copyvio
Hi, you seem to be active in copyright cleanup. This diff introduced a straightforward copyvio (copy-paste) of this page (under the 'Our research' section). I've already deleted the offending text, but I think I cannot use the copyvio-revdel template due to interfering revisions. Could you handle possible rev-deletion? Thank you in advance, RWalen (talk) 18:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Done. In the future - you can by specifying start and end. The copyvio remained a material part of changes to the article since its insertion. MER-C 18:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
Possible new Haltim pel sock
I hope all is well. It looks like this new editor's contributions indicate a new sockpuppet of User:Haltim pel. Best, GPL93 (talk) 04:00, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Blocked. If they're not, then spamming and page hijacking are enough to block indefinitely anyway. MER-C 17:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, My name is Mohsin. The purpose of the page (Mercans) was to inform a lot of job seekers to approach the company, Mercans is a B2B HR software provider which is in constant need to hire developers. Idea is to keep such pages live to help the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohsin000 (talk • contribs)

What does it take to initiate a global block?
I may have the term wrong, but I'm sure you know what I mean. I was looking at Special:CentralAuth/Ddragoner and at c:Special:Contributions/Ddragoner after seeing their block here, and noting that they are sailing forth into Commons and Wikiquote pushing one Hamis Kiggundu (upe?)

I Sent it into the draft due to paid editing and Coi editing but within no time it is back to mainspace with more promotional content also the sources are not decent enough. I think you should check this. Sonofstar (talk) 12:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Query
Hello, MER-C,
I was looking at a draft that Yaxı Hökmdarz had moved from main space and saw that you had blocked them. Looking over their contributions and they seem like standard gnomish edits, putting notices on articles, CSD tagging and welcoming new editors. Do you have a page in mind which you saw as covert advertising? Because looking through their Contributions and Deleted Contributions, I can't see that they created any articles or drafts at all. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 01:33, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

RfA 2021 review update
Thanks so much for participating in Phase 1 of the RfA 2021 review. 8 out of the 21 issues discussed were found to have consensus. Thanks to our closers of Phase 1, Primefac and Wugapodes.
The following had consensus support of participating editors:
- Corrosive RfA atmosphere
- The atmosphere at RfA is deeply unpleasant. This makes it so fewer candidates wish to run and also means that some members of our community don't comment/vote.
- Level of scrutiny
- Many editors believe it would be unpleasant to have so much attention focused on them. This includes being indirectly a part of watchlists and editors going through your edit history with the chance that some event, possibly a relatively trivial event, becomes the focus of editor discussion for up to a week.
- Standards needed to pass keep rising
- It used to be far easier to pass RfA however the standards necessary to pass have continued to rise such that only "perfect" candidates will pass now.
- Too few candidates
- There are too few candidates. This not only limits the number of new admin we get but also makes it harder to identify other RfA issues because we have such a small sample size.
- "No need for the tools" is a poor reason as we can find work for new admins
The following issues had a rough consensus of support from editors:
- Lifetime tenure (high stakes atmosphere)
Because RfA carries with it lifetime tenure, granting any given editor sysop feels incredibly important. This creates a risk adverse and high stakes atmosphere. - Admin permissions and unbundling
There is a large gap between the permissions an editor can obtain and the admin toolset. This brings increased scrutiny for RFA candidates, as editors evaluate their feasibility in lots of areas. - RfA should not be the only road to adminship
Right now, RfA is the only way we can get new admins, but it doesn't have to be.
Please consider joining the brainstorming which will last for the next 1-2 weeks. This will be followed by Phase 2, a 30 day discussion to consider solutions to the problems identified in Phase 1.
There are 2 future mailings planned. One when Phase 2 opens and one with the results of Phase 2. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Forest spirits now protect us
You are indeed an idle oyibo mugu with the evilness of a bloodthirsty Fulani herdsman. We have had enough of you deleting prominent Nigerian businessmen and enterprises for years and years. Oyibo always like legal threats but we adhere to WP:NOLEGALTHREATS and instead use our own time honoured traditions in Nigeria.
Thus we have consulted a juju priest and master witch doctor who instructed us to partake together in his powerful secret rituals and sacrifice bush animals and use magic potions. The priest has summoned powerful protective spirits from the forest to protect us and our pages from MER-C so he shall not be able to find our accounts and delete our pages. Celestina007 can tell you how scary our Nigerian juju can be. Abeg stop this nonsense or next calamity shall fall upon you and you will be posessed with Nigerian forest spirits that no oyibo mugu can ever cure oooooooooooo.
