→‎T-Ban appeal: happy to lift it
Line 123: Line 123:


Hi Callanecc, in February you told me "I won't be considering an appeal from you without at least 3-6 months of positive contributions in other areas". Since then, I've moved on to other areas (e.g. I published [[Alfred Verdross|this article]] and submitted it to GAN) and I've basically given up on the Russo-Ukraine topic area: I'm not interested in editing there again (with one exception though, my [[Ruslan Kotsaba]] article, which I'd like to update with new sources and content). Anyway, having renounced to the topic area, I wasn't even interested in getting my T-ban lifted and sort of forgot about it, which explains why I've just made an involuntary misstep (immediately self-reverted) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gitz6666&diff=prev&oldid=1176388893 here]. As you can see, I was talking about something else entirely and only mentioned articles from the topic area by way of examples. But being provented from even mentioning the topic is quite annoying, so my question for you is: would you be willing to consider an appeal? I don't want to go through the hassle of a discussion with other admins/users, so if it's not OK for you to just lift it, I'd rather leave things as they are now.

:Hi {{u|Gitz6666}}, based on your editing since the ban I'm happy to lift it. As you imply, I suggest that you avoid general editing of the area. Since you've received a previous TBAN it is likely that if you do edit problematically in the future a TBAN will be applied fairly automatically. <b>[[User:Callanecc|Callanecc]]</b> ([[User talk:Callanecc|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Callanecc|contribs]] • [[Special:Log/Callanecc|logs]]) 04:32, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Revision as of 04:32, 26 September 2023

Re: Kevo327

Hello, I see you were investigating Kevo327 for the Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, and I have another complaint. I edited the Levon Mirzoyan article after seeing edits from Kevo that sanitized the famine/excused Mirzoyan of it using Sarah Cameron's work. I then read Cameron's analysis and added extra details, including his culpability through historical data. Kevo then reverted my work and banned me indefinitely from editing the topic or others due to them being related to "Armenia or Azerbaijan". However, I am concerned primarily with the Kazakh famine of 1930-33, and have extensive edits showing my dedication. The Mirzoyan page does not concern Armenia just because he is Armenian, especially when the content I wrote regards his actions in Soviet Kazakhstan.

The edits I reverted were his, of course, and this feels like clear retaliation. I am unable to change anything back now, and I feel that this is clearly a biased decision. Please feel free to view his message on my talk page, his deletions, my edits, and his additional counteracting of them. He has continually sanitized the famine, removed information that is critical of Mirzoyan, and reverted good edits.

I am not sure how to properly report this, so hopefully giving this information to you is the right move. Thank you for reading. ~ Dsrlisan85 (talk) 20:22, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why the user keeps discussing an article they're not allowed to edit in after being notified of relevant restriction in a clear manner [1]. Additionally in their revert, they claimed it was "deleted without explanation" when in reality, I left a talk comment for my rationale and linked it in the edit summary [2]. But this is irrelevant since the user isn't allowed to edit the article per WP:GS/AA (the article very much falls under this restriction), yet they not only keep commenting on it breaching gs/aa, but trying to sneakily bring it up on an admin's page? This is baffling. - Kevo327 (talk) 09:08, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not 'sneakily' doing anything, I am openly communicating my concerns. Please be respectful in tone. You keep deleting relevant and cited information, and have been reported for instances like this multiple times (see here and here)- which seems to denote a pattern of behavior. Levon Mirzoyan is not in the list of sanctions per WP:GS/AA, and again- you do not seem to acknowledge that my edits and concerns have nothing to do with Armenia or Azerbaijan as a topic. While Mirzoyan's page may be interpreted *broadly* as relating to both due to his ethnicity and service in Azerbaijan, neither have anything to do with the content I've contributed. As I've stated multiple times, I just want to write about Soviet Kazakhstan. Also that I "keep commenting on it breaching gs/aa"? I have not done anything to the page since you've banned me. I've messaged here and on my talk page, and any quick view at edit history will confirm. ~ Dsrlisan85 (talk) 19:02, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also one more quick note for the admin- and sorry for all the messages, but Kevo has also deleted 5 reputable sources referencing Mirzoyan (see here). One is from Cambridge University Press, two are from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, another is from the Wilson Center, and the last is from Nationalities Papers. There is no reason to have deleted these, and I believe this edits may be politically motivated. ~ Dsrlisan85 (talk) 19:21, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Levon Mirzoyan falls under WP:GS/AA, broadly and beyond. I think you should familiarize yourself with the restriction before commenting further as what you are saying is just false. I have reverted your edit because A) you're not allowed to edit in the article as it falls under GS/AA, doesn't matter what part of it you edit (again something that you don't seem to understand), and B) You reverted me claiming it wasn't "explained", yet it was explained in the talk discussion I opened and linked in my edit summary (same edit you reverted claiming no explanation was provided).
I have no desire to repeat the same things over and over, please reach the needed amount of edits before editing the article again or commenting on it repeatedly. - Kevo327 (talk) 19:25, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, I don't either. You have no refutation of much of my point besides having an explanation on the discussion page, which is all I need to know. I'm disengaging from this as I don't believe it's productive. Dsrlisan85 (talk) 21:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

why did u remove them Triango (talk) 14:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Triango. Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately imagery from Google Maps is subject to copyright and so isn't a free image that can used in this way. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:19, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Triango. You might be able to use OpenStreetMap for the same purpose. Images from it are free from copyright. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:49, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing at User talk:M.boli

You currently appear to be engaged in false accusations of edit war according to the warnings you have posted at talk page of myself and @Molochmeditates regarding edits at Vivek Ramaswamy. This means that you are perceiving conflicts in in a fairly anodyne editing process where two editors disagreed over something really minor.

Points to note:

  1. The other editor saw problems with two of my sources and removed part of my edit. I thought one source was OK, but no matter. I instead simply rewrote the removed part with a better source.
  2. My original edit rewrote and added back some material (not my own) which pretty obviously had been dropped due to a time-stamp editing conflict. Those two people were not warring either.

I think you jumped the gun. I'm inclined to remove your misplaced {{uw-ew}} accusation (parodied above) from my talk page. It is possible the other editor you warned may want to do likewise. -- M.boli (talk) 11:19, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, on reflection it probably was a little early. However given that this is a contentious topic and that there's a history of editing warring on the article it's important that all editors are aware and hence reminded that if there isn't a consensus version that is collaboratively developed fairly quickly (like now) discussion needs to occur rather than reverts and partial reverts. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:26, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! It is indeed a contentious page, point well-taken. -- M.boli (talk) 11:56, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Points to note:

  1. The other editor added a true statement to the biography but used a source that I saw as problematic because it was a press release, which I do not think is appropriate to include as a WP:RS in a WP:BLP. I am afraid spurious or unimportant content might be sneaked into the article if we allow this and historically biographies have had this problem. Based on this, I removed part of the edit that was sourced via the press release.
  2. The other editor rewrote this section using a better source (in my opinion). I publicly thanked the other editor for their later edit, before you jumped in with your warnings and threats to block both of us for constructively striving to improve a biography and reaching a consensus quickly.
  3. I have removed a couple of sources that fall under WP:FORBESCON. I write detailed edit messages, which you can check in the article's history.
  4. I would actually love to see you contribute positively to the discussion here and help us improve this article. For example, what do you think about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vivek_Ramaswamy#Paid_editing_of_Wikipedia_mention_in_the_BLP on the article's talk page? What do you think about using a press release as a source for quotes the candidate made? Do you support using Forbes contributor articles to write biographies on Wikipedia, against the policy in WP:FORBESCON?

I understand this is a contentious page, but please don't try to chill edits on an important page.

They have copied your user page to their user page. I wanted to make you aware in case this was anything nefarious? Knitsey (talk) 13:09, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Evading already?

Can you give this IP a look, geolocates to the same place as the IPv6 one you just blocked, is editing the same pages: 86.98.36.101. – 2804:F14:80D6:E401:E8B6:1355:28C1:D6AC (talk) 08:35, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Watch the trailer perhaps. You'll see Juliana Canfield is in there twice. 2401:7000:DD77:B601:9584:19A0:5716:98FD (talk) 01:33, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Wikipedia requires reliable sources that are verifiable. It is original research to see someone in a video and then credit for them as others cannot confirm the same information. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:33, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So the official trailer for the season released on the verified social media and YouTube platforms of AHS and FX isn't reliable enough? Lol!!
The official synopsis on the FX website for the season also has Emma Roberts' character name as Anna Victoria Alcott, which keeps being removed as well. Do better. 2401:7000:DD77:B601:4457:DDEA:1947:22E7 (talk) 22:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

T-Ban appeal

Hi Callanecc, in February you told me "I won't be considering an appeal from you without at least 3-6 months of positive contributions in other areas". Since then, I've moved on to other areas (e.g. I published this article and submitted it to GAN) and I've basically given up on the Russo-Ukraine topic area: I'm not interested in editing there again (with one exception though, my Ruslan Kotsaba article, which I'd like to update with new sources and content).
