I reviewed the contributions from the above author, and they seem to be valid points. I assume you reverted most of them due to their overly technical nature and difficulty of reading in contrast to the existing content.
They contributed roughly 2000 characters to a couple of articles (Trusted System and Source-code compatibility) by adding relevant details to existing points. I don't disagree entirely with their reversion, but the author seems to be an expert. Perhaps reviewing the contributions and rewriting them into a more natural flow for the reader would be a better solution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biorpg (talk • contribs) 00:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Answer from the Author: So I didn't understand why you blocked me. The reason I didn't understand is because I'm new to Wikipedia. I joined about 3 weeks ago or on October 3rd. What I liked about your response is the compliments Thank you for those. I also want to be unblocked.Btw i'm the Authors friend and this is what he said. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.232.46.198 (talk) 12:31, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Graham--if you don't mind, can you reinstate the account creation thing on that 2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 range? Our old dog-rapping friend keeps making new accounts and it's driving poor Sagaciousphil, who is a hardcore rap fan (old school, west coast, dirty south, you name it), insane. Thanks!

If you look under "notable people", someone has added "Paulo Garcia, super engineer". Now the problem is, I'm Paulo Garcia. These edits are someone vandalizing the page using my name. I am not an engineer nor do I have any notability to warrant a position on this list. How do I fix this damage without being "disruptive"? I don't know how to provide sources for removing the name from the list, as the source is myself.

I'd like to request the permission to edit for my IP address, which is 2607:fb90:5909:77f2:0:25:9559:d401; this is blocked by your ban on the IP address range of 2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32.
I apologise if this request is an inconvenience.

I'm a single mom 03 3 & just tried to create an account to make notes on an article regarding psychological development. After I entered my info I got routed to a screen informing me that I was denied due to YOUR reporting my inappropriate commenting & editing. I have NEVER even visited this site let alone commented or made any edits!!! Please rectify this or let me know how I can do so. I have a toddler w/special needs including Sensory Processing Disorder and REALLY need to be able to do this research & male notes/comments for myself! Dopeymom03 (talk) 13:29, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

This is rather belated, but in looking over the process of getting Miriam Makeba to FA-status, I am struck by the enormous amount of work you did with respect to grammar, sourcing, and accessibility. Many thanks. Vanamonde (talk) 12:11, 19 October 2017 (UTC) |
Vast amount of loose ends there - thanks JarrahTree 02:10, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
Well, that was weird. As I said in the edit summary, I just went in and added the link to St Eugene College. I didn't do anything else. I am guessing that somehow I opened the previous version before your edits. Not sure how. Anyhow, sorry. Kerry (talk) 10:46, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
I get your point and apologize for being too zealous. But you deleted it in a few cases where it really is warranted and I am setting those back. 2600:1002:B105:C88F:B48C:9784:F3F:D8BB (talk) 11:11, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Graham, I see that you're familiar with talk page archiving. Your help would be appreciated at Talk:Takbir#Archiving. Cheers. nagualdesign 02:14, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello good sir!
My name is Nick Rambo, a freshly minted user of Wikipedia. I notice you seem to be very devoted to keeping Wikipedia a high quality resource on the Internet - you're doing God's Work son!
However, I wanted to inform you about a persistent frustration I ran into when trying to create an account. I was notified that the IP address I was using was flagged for vandalism - problem is I never engaged in vandalism, that is for losers that want to see the world burn. What seems to have happened is that you placed a very wide range of IPv6 addresses in a block, appx 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,336 addresses! I realize persistent vandalism is a pain in the tookus but my assumption is that you weren't aware of how broad a range of addresses you were affecting. I got this data point from this website: IP address range calculator - http://www.gestioip.net/cgi-bin/subnet_calculator.cgi
You may decided to leave that wide ranging block in place, however in the interest of fairness to new users, I would encourage you to refine it a bit, then broaden it if the horrible "user" you were targeting manages to slither back in.
Just wanted to give you a heads up, as I had been trying for about a month to create an account through different methods.
Thanks for your hard work and dedication, hope you are enjoying springtime down under, Fall is beginning to fall here in America :)
Regards,
Nick — Preceding unsigned comment added by Necrambo (talk • contribs) 12:57, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Dear Graham87! In February you have been so nice to help us with import of my German article. IrmaCan translated the article. In reference No. 15 (named focus_2010) there appears an error-hint („zero width space character in |trans-title= at position 8 (help)“). I looked for it but do not understand. Could you please be so kind as to help us removing the error or do you know somebody who could help? Best wishes --Andrea014 (talk) 16:15, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
You deleted my consumer boycott article stub yesterday for being too similar to the general Boycott Wiki page (I agree completely!). I'd like to revise my work and tailor it to improve the Application and Uses section of the Boycott Wiki article. To do this, is it alright if you restore my work to my personal sandbox please? Thank you very much!

You have blanked the page.Xx236 (talk) 14:17, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
I realize that you're an administrator, but I was wondering why you blanked John O'Grady (writer). If you have a reason why, maybe you could tell me. EMachine03 (talk) 14:18, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

Hello Graham.
I don't log often on my editor page, so I just saw today your message dating of more than one year, regarding this very old page User:BernardVatant. Apologies for the delay. Nice you unearthed this old page and its revisions, in particular the exchange with Larry Sanger back in June 2001, when I was one of the first editors of the French WP. What a time! I've become with years a very lazy Wikipedian, but still amazed at what this project has become. It was much more fun to edit in those early times, it was an open space, the Far West of knowledge. Nowadays it's a serious and often tedious task, I'm full of admiration for those who work daily on this. Stay tuned. --universimmedia (talk) 21:24, 3 December 2017 (UTC) PS : I have an old user page in the French WP too, restored from the same period archive, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:BernardVatant, created June 1, 2001. I'm not sure how to link those two pages together now, if you can do it, it would be cool. Thanks for your time!
I do not know what disruption you were targgeting with this rangeblock:
but if it involved adding "Category: [year] in science", that user is now back in action at:
User:Widr blocked that specific IP for a short time, but possibly it should be longer and/or converted to a wider range. DMacks (talk) 18:43, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
I was trying to fix an error on the voice season 13 page, but I couldn't because you blocked my IP address. Is it possible you can unblock my IP address or account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaughtryLeave (talk • contribs) 19:34, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Good catch on spotting that this ancient (and now non-working) URL format is still out there in articles. Would you like me to clean them up with the AutoWikiBrowser or are you happy doing it yourself. It looks like there are about 70 of them. I thought I had cleaned up all the old Trove URL formats some months ago but it seems I missed the ndpbeta ones. Kerry (talk) 07:51, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
The user of 2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 reports that the IP number is blocked from editing, and that Graham87 is one of the blocking editors. There is no reason given for the block, and no attempt to edit Wikipedia nor any disruptive activity or actions have been made from that IP address. Thus, the block is unfair and unwarranted and the user has asked that said block be removed. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:AC50:61D0:75E9:CCF3:F5AF:D103 (talk) 22:45, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
I've gotten an answer on another editor's talk page and I agree with that opinion. No edits are made from the IP number in question and that user does not wish to create an account from that device at the present, so no problem. Thanks for your site's efficiency and the editors' professionalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:AC50:61D0:75E9:CCF3:F5AF:D103 (talk) 23:07, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Good call on reverting the edit I made - thank you. I thought that no edit summary was left; obviously I was wrong. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:30, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
As part of 1Lib1Ref, expect to see a lot of public library information to be added to Queensland towns. What you saw this morning was an edit training session. Our campaign is to try to get all the information about schools, libraries, and other community amenities into the town/locality articles. While it's not wildly exciting information, it will all be accurate and cited (and frankly in many of those towns, a library is actually an exciting thing relative to the next small town down the road without a library).

I archived something (a useless advert for some wibble or other) and you reverted the archive. Did you think you were reverting a talk page addition? Easy mistake to make! Guy (Help!) 12:07, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
I want to point out that the reason why I added the categories for steel guitarists and dulcimer players for Davey Johnstone is because he has played those instruments with Elton.

If Davey didn't play them, regardless of level of frequency, then I wouldn't even list them in the categories.
