User:Lugnuts

Hello, Lugnuts,

Apparently, there are so many thousands of edits to your User page that it has to be deleted by a steward. I tried but couldn't delete the page. You might contact a steward directly if you are set on deleting it. Also, be aware that if you want to restore the page in the future, it will be equally challenging. Liz ^{Read!

Sorry to see it

I'm sorry to see this. I'd hoped you'd stay and be productive, as you clearly can be, and that you'd maybe even find that the proposed restrictions might be good for you in many ways. Best to you. —valereee (talk) 20:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disgrace

Just seen that ANI, what an absolute fucking disgrace, absolute shite chatted by people who never contribute to the cricket project. Your stubs are important starting points, with which many of us, myself included, have expanded to good quality B-Class articles. Knobheads everywhere. StickyWicket (talk) 21:04, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. While Lugnuts might ve at sone fault here, the accusations at te ANI were ruthless. Wikipedia is like Twitter nowadays. Filled with a-words. Most of them probably never heard of cricket. Truly a loss for the cricket community here. Human (talk) 17:09, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both. You do have to question some people's motives on here. Almost as much as questioning England's match "tactics" of late...

Community Sanction : prohibition from creating stubs

Per this discussion, you are indefinitely banned from creating new articles that contain less than 500 words when created. This includes converting redirects. You may appeal after six months. Spartaz ^Humbug! 09:32, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't retire, I value your continued contributions. Deb (talk) 15:34, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnuts, I saw a bit of what happened. I'm really sorry. I hope you find a way back. Take your time and see what you can do or say. Some editors were really dead-set against you; those will not carry the day, I imagine, if you were to propose how you can work within parameters suggested by that ANI discussion--not the extremes. Take care, and thank you: there are plenty of editors who appreciate much or most of what you have done here. Drmies (talk) 21:31, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks all. For transpancy, I've asked for clarification on 500 words vs 1500 characters. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:21, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of keeping responses in one place, this is the response I left,

The term word was used twice in the proposal and rereading the discussion and noting the number of users advocating for a total ban on article creation, there was clearly no consensus that less than a total ban would fly unless substantial articles were produced. Regardless of the original meaning, the concept that gripped was a substantial article and multiple users endorsed 500 words. I don’t feel comfortable arbitrarily changing it to characters as that wasn’t the consensus of the discussion. If you want to shorten it, I think you need a fresh consensus and should open a thread at AN. Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:53, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t personally strongly object to a change and there is internal consistency in using DYK criteria but there are already enough occasions where admins act against a clear consensus that I feel that discussion needs to be had before any change to the sanction. Given issues with your stubs, concentrating on articles that can be 500 words is actually no bad thing, and, if it were me, I’d do a fair amount of that before making that request. Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:00, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Listen - compare your case with that of the user named in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive984 (section 83). He's still operating under a restriction because there's a competence issue, but he keeps plugging away. You can do much better work and I sincerely hope you will stick around and do that.

Section Heading

Definitely sorry to see what happened at ANI... I think that Wikipedia is changing and contributions from dinosaurs like us aren't what the project needs, but that's consensus I suppose. It is too bad there wasn't a little bit more good faith going around in that discussion though. In any case, I'm saddened, but completely support your decision... I'll be scaling back too to focus on projects that actually matter.

So much good work

Hi Lugnuts. Was so sorry to hear of this. I have never been one to join in (or even notice) such discussions in the most part, and while I am not going to comment on the ANI, I would like to say just how much all of the excellent work that you have put into Wiki is appreciated by editors within various projects, and how hard it will be for us to keep it going without you. You probably won't read this now, but your support and advice has been invaluable. I really hope you reconsider after some time and come back in at least come capacity even if in a reduced level. Thanks friend. Bs1jac (talk) 21:51, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguator

Hi, hope you are doing well. Do you think Mohammad Hasnain (cricketer, born 1975) should be renamed to Mohammad Hasnain (Karachi cricketer). I believe place of birth is more useful than disambiguating with date of birth. Also, most people search biographies by their places not by their date of birth. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 14:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TheBirdsShedTears: unfortunately Lugnuts has been driven off this site by jobsworths. I would agree that disambiguating by place of birth would be better, even better would be the team played for, which just so happens to also be Karachi. StickyWicket (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TheBirdsShedTears: - I think this has been sorted. Agree with the Karachi dab. Let me know if you need anything else. Ta. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I too agree with the Karachi dab. I had no idea that this dispute was never officially resolved. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:40, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree- he has played for multiple teams, not just Karachi teams. Therefore, putting one of those teams as the disambiguator seems incorrect to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:19, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2025 ICC Champions Trophy

So, fun fact: in this edit, you reverted an editor who for YEARS has been guilty of massive NOTWEBHOST violations, writing up talk pages for their IP range with cricket tournament stuff. I'll leave one undeleted, for your reading pleasure: User talk:39.40.209.27. I've blocked them, I've blocked them before; I don't know if they're writing up imaginary stuff or not, but I am not surprised to see their fandom and zeal find a way into article space also. Take care, Drmies (talk) 16:50, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this. As of right now, it's not quite imaginary, but my gut feels it's unlikely. The Champions Trophy seems like the least important international cricket tournament in the calendar, with no-one really missing it if it went for good. Add to that the defending champions are Pakistan, and they are defending it in their own back yard (again, as of right now), I'm sure India simply can't wait to send their team over the border to play. Fanboys and cricket articles. Whatever next? Take care too! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:52, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, now that is interesting. It rings bells of someone who was using their userpage/talkpage to create fake sports tournaments.

There's a ton of that--I've seen them for soccer too. But this one is very specific: cricket, from Pakistan, mostly in user space. Cricket--who even understand that? I remember listening to the BBC World Service, and they'd give the scores, and I still wouldn't know who won. It's as inscrutable as those Wordle things people are posting on Facebook--but with a break for tea, of course. Drmies (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, def. recall tennis tournaments in this style, and fairly recent too. Tennis. What is that? Hitting a ball with a stick? Mercy. Sometimes Drmies, there is no winner, even after five days of play. Well, that's not quite true, as the real winner was, of course, cricket. And please don't ridicule the tea break, it's an intrinsic part of the game, with the ICC recently updating their rules for the shortest format ("an optional drinks break of two minutes and thirty seconds may be taken at the mid-point of each innings subject to agreement between Members at the start of each series").

Hi! Thanks, hope you are good too and a happy new year as well. The problem with Kohli's article is that it's so big and seems to cover lots of minutiae. As a starting point, I'd look at this section and look to trim some of the unimportant bits. For example, there's a line about him getting a 50% match fine (ref #120) - that was from something that happened 10+ years ago. Is that needed today? Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:07, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But that match fine was because of that "middle finger incident". I think that incident is a major event in Kohli's career.. What are your thoughts? RIDHVAN SHARMA (talk) 03:52, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm, doesn't ring any bells with me, but if you think it's worth mentioning, I wont remove it. Some good work so far - nice one!

A World Giants squad will also be participating which will see players like Daren Sammy, Daniel Vettori, Brett Lee, Jonty Rhodes, Kevin Pietersen, etc in action.
The Legends League Cricket kicks off on January 20 in Oman.
The final of the tournament will be held on January 29.

ODI Matches played by India

Hey, I'm in dilemma whether India has played 997 or 1000 ODIs. Cricinfo states that 1st Paarl ODI yesterday was India's 997th ODI. But when i made a page in Marathi Wikipedia listing all ODIs played by India in serial numbers then I found out that yesterday's match was India's 1000th ODI. Ironically, the list that i have made has Cricinfo source. Either Cricinfo has missing something or I have made mistake in counting. Aditya tamhankar (talk), 20th January 2022, 10:59 AM (IST)

Hi. Cricinfo has 997 as well. Maybe you've included some that were abandoned without a toss taking place? There would be lots of coverage about them playing their 1,000th match, and the first team to reach that milestone, not least from the ICC. Think back to when England became the first team to play 1,000 Test matches! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:26, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I found the flaw. My mistake in listing the serial numbers. I jumped 3 numbers from 533 to direct 537.. 🤣🤣🤣 Aditya tamhankar (talk), 20th January 2022, 13:08 (IST)

Contesting redirects

Hi there. While not explicitly stated, my interpretation would be that in most cases contesting and reverting redirects comes under the umbrella of "converting redirects into articles". As such, I would hope to see expansion and addition of better sources, rather than what happened here and here, when contesting redirects of articles such as these. Best, _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 13:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be, say creating Joe Bloggs (cricketer) as a redirect to a list/club, and then coming back to convert that to an article. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 13:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. However, some (me included) would not see the scope as being that narrow. Personally, I would not want to see significant numbers of reverts like the two examples above (particularly the latter). Best, _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:13, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contesting a speedy redirect is not "creating an article". It's up to the person redirecting it to demonstrate that the redirect is better than an article, and contesting/reverting someone is different to creating a new article. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:58, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are describing a similar but different scenario. It usually doesn't work out well for editors who push the boundaries of community sanctions; given what is in place here and the reasons behind them, it would be advisable to take "converting redirects into articles" as being broadly construed, which would include contesting redirects without addressing the lack of substantial content and sourcing. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 19:05, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The key phrase is "... creating new articles... " These were not, under any description, new. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:07, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is, of course, for you to decide how you approach these things. Best, _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 19:11, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion reverting a redirect to restore a long standing article is permissible but the aspersions allegations against other editors bet stop now, or I’m going to start dishing out blocks for PAs. If you think someone is proxying then either open a thread about it with credible evidence or shut up. Throwing aspersions is not an alternative response.

Gymnastics

I’ve noticed that several articles you’ve written have said that gymnasts have competed in 6 events, but they haven’t. There are 6 events in women’s gymnastics competed separately at the Olympics, but for someone to compete in all six, they have to qualify to each final. Most gymnasts do not make each final. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afheather (talk • contribs) 09:12, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So apparently you've created 100s of articles that have this same mistake. After 1956, the individual apparatuses were competed separately. This means that the vast majority of atheletes competing in the Olympics from 1960 onward would not compete in all of the event finals. You need to fix this. Doing an event in qualifications does not mean that they competed in the event finals. There are 6 events in women's gymnastics and 8 in men's gymnastics. It is incredibly rare for a gymnast to make all finals, let alone numerous gymnasts at the same games. I would recommend using the pages for these finals as a guide to determining who competed in these finals. Afheather (talk) 12:57, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question.

Hi. Thanks for your good work. I don't think this edit, without explanatory edit summary btw, was appropriate however. It is common at wp where there is an article on name x for a location, and all searches for "x" go to that location rather than a disambiguation page, to add a see also where there is an individual whose surname is "x." Yet you reverted here, without explanatory edit summary. I would urge you to reconsider and revisit.

Wondering about Irfan Afridi through. An interesting one. He never played a T20I or a List A match in the World Cup Challenge League, which was surprising given his recentism. Doesn't seem to have played since he was banned from bowling though. What do you think? A GNG pass, or redirect to 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Four?

Proposed deletion of Wong Chi-Keung

Hello, Lugnuts

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Joseywales1961, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Wong Chi-Keung, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|Joseywales1961)). And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Irmintraut Schneider

Just dropping by to tell you that I did do a WP:BEFORE on this one, so you don't get left feeling like this is some kind of one-two attack by me and the editor whose redirect you reverted (I noticed it independently and did checks for sources before checking the article history and noticing the revert that had happened in the last hour.) -- asilvering (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Asilvering! They may well be non-notable, but the sheer number of bad reverts done in the past hour thows any doubt of WP:BEFORE being done. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me}

Communication

Hi Lugnuts,

Apologies for posting here as I realize that you don't want to engage with me, but I believe this is an important issue and I would prefer to avoid adding a new section to the current discussion regarding you at WP:ANI.

This is regarding your recent reverts and refusal to discuss at Kyohei Ushio, where you claimed that they were a national champion while forgetting to include the source that supported this; in cases like this, where an editor raises a reasonable concern with an edit you made, you need to discuss that concern, or failing that accept the editor reverting your change.

In general, I believe this explanatory supplement is worth reading.

Finally, I will note that in deference to your desire to avoid communication, I will avoid doing so as much as possible; exceptions will include discussing edits you make that relate to prior edits that I made, and required notifications - although if you request that I stop sending notifications such as those for AFD's, I will do so. BilledMammal (talk) 13:41, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, these are not revenge PROD, you are clearly assuming bad faith. These are very clear examples of you not doing the basic job of looking for sources before creating articles. It's the exact same kind of behaviour you have been sanctioned for before, and I'm doing you a favour by proposing these for deletion so people who actually want to bother looking for sources and write proper articles have an indication that this should be done and not a misleading database-entry created by the usual culprit.

You don't speak or read Danish do you?? I was looking at those articles of those Danish players at AfD.

Signature

Hey! Apparently your signature uses obsolete font tags causing linter errors. I'd suggest remedying this issue whenever you're able to. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:48, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, since you and I seem to edit in some of the same spaces, I'm getting a lot of notices of the bot fixing your old signature (which I'm fine with), however I noticed that you haven't fixed it yet which means I'll keep getting updates. I personally would really appreciate if you could fix your signature. For reference, the fix according to the bot fix is <span style="color:#002bb8;">Lugnuts</span>. Gonnym (talk) 15:21, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look in to it. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 15:28, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You still have not fixed your signature. Why exactly is that? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:29, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed implies something is broken, but it looks fine to me. As I said, I'll look into it. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:45, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically speaking it is broken as it's causing lint errors because it uses obsolete font tags. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It would depend on a) the host of the series and b) the year it takes place in.

One to think about

Hello again, Lugnuts. When I visited your page earlier, I noticed you're still being plagued with AfD notices so I've followed some of them and commented. This one really annoyed me. I think a certain person who "first joined" the site in 2019, soon after me, is rather obsessive about raising AfDs, especially on articles created by you. This rang a bell and I remembered someone being sanctioned a year or so back for flooding the AfD lists every day. I couldn't for a while remember who it was but, after a lot of digging, I find it was User:Störm, whose name I vaguely recall, probably because of the umlaut.

So, I pulled this out of the talk page history and, having looked a little further, it appears that what Störm was doing is the same as this other person is doing now. I may be way off target but do you think they could be the same? Looking at their earliest activity in 2019, it strikes me as suspicious that they could raise two AfDs in their first 25 edits and display complete ease and familiarity with the process in doing so, even knowing which deletion-related discussions to invoke. They might have no connection with Störm, but I'm prepared to bet there's a connection with someone. I'll happily take it to SPI if you think there's a case. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Speedy deletion nomination of Giovanni Bonati (gymnast)

A tag has been placed on Giovanni Bonati (gymnast) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

WP:G4 - recreation (as a redirect) of a page which was deleted at AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giovanni Bonati (gymnast)) and for which there was explicit consensus against having a redirect.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi! There was explicit consensus against a redirect here. If someone else decides to create it, that's fine, but I do not think it should be you given your COI with respect to these stubs. Note, I only tagged and did not delete so another admin may disagree.

How many redirects about non-notables do we usually have? In the same way that being a sportsperson does not give a free pass for an article, it doesn't give a free pass for a redirect. WP:R#DELETE also has "10. If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.": if you are arguing that there is some glimmer of a possibility that these might be notable, and given that the target article contains, indeed, little if any information on the subject, then it would make more sense to have a red link to encourage article creation. And if they are not-notable, and given Wikipedia is not a database (a "summary-only description") or a mirror of databases, well then I've already explained that.

@Bs1jac: - all good here, thanks. Hope you are well too. Thanks for spotting this. Looking at the sources in the article, as well as comparing Google results, I believe that Esha Oza is correct and have done the move. Thanks again! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:15, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, check time of Final in https://www.cricketworldcup.com/matches 42774 (talk) 05:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The playing conditions state the top of group go to Semi-final 1, 2nd place to Semi-final 2, IE Aus and SA. India haven't reached the semi-finals yet... Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 05:40, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

India haven't reached semi-finals yet, but can qualify after last group match. Neither ICC or ESPNCricinfo have confirmed that AUS will play Semi-final 1, so it is early to update semi-finals now. 42774 (talk) 05:43, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

India is a red-herring at the moment. The Playing Conditions, which you've kindly linked to, show SF1 as top vs 4th (IE Aus vs TBC) and SF2 as 2nd vs 3rd (IE SA vs TBC). Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 05:46, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The lowest Australia can finish is second and a win (or even a washout) against Bangladesh will lock in top spot, but they will have to wait until Sunday March 27 to find out where and when they will play their semi-final.

The World Cup playing conditions dictate that India – should they qualify – feature in the second day-night semi-final at Christchurch's Hagley Oval, regardless of where they finish inside the top four.

John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giuseppe Fago. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

I've gone ahead and removed the first sentence of this. If you feel that there's misconduct, please take it to ANI instead of commenting about it in deletion discussions. –dlthewave ☎ 02:33, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dlthewave, since you see yourself as an unofficial talk page police officer, your failure to address this must be seen as a dereliction of duty. You were aware of Lambert's conduct at the ANI, which in no way concerned Lugnuts, and yet you did nothing when Lambert made that insulting comment. No doubt if Lugnuts had referred to Lambert or one of your other pals as a net negative, you'd have been there tut-tutting and removing it. Lugnuts politely asked Lambert to remove the offending message and was met with silence, an effective refusal. In the end, Lambert had to be told by Black Kite to remove the comment.

Also, your intervention at the Fago AfD has made a nonsense of subsequent posts, completely losing their context. That is another reason for making a polite request if you want someone to change or delete a previous post. Removing a post without asking first is the antithesis of politeness – it is downright rude. Obviously, as Black Kite had to do with Lambert, a sysop can step in if the polite request is refused.

Lugnuts, sorry for intervening here but after what happened at my talk page yesterday, I think I should help anyone else who has had this same problem of wanton interference. No Great Shaker (talk) 05:08, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnuts, could you please remove the revenge AfD accusation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giuseppe Fago? –dlthewave ☎ 05:28, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See, easy to be polite isn't it? Pity that someone has to stand up to you first. No Great Shaker (talk) 05:31, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)). Spartaz ^Humbug! 15:35, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I warned you before about casting aspertions and attacking the motives of other editors. You failed to immediately redact when requested and left the personal attack here. If I have to block you again for this it will be for a significantly longer period and if ots aggravated there will be no time limit. Understood? Spartaz ^Humbug! 15:38, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spartaz: - Yes. Apologies, I've not been online for most of the day. While I did retract the comment at AfD, I completly forgot about it here. It's now removed. Is that OK for an unblock on the proviso that if there are any further issues from now on it goes to an indef, no questions asked? Also, what is "ots aggravated"? I don't know what you mean by ots. Typo? Acronym? Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:30, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One day for like the fourth block for personal attacks is pretty darn lenient. It's such a short block I don't see any reason for you to appeal, just do better in the future. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:49, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Or in context, four times across 15 years and 1.5million edits. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Beeblebrox that you should be grateful its only 31 hours. Frankly if you are spraying so many aspertions around you can't keep track if them then you should be using that time reflect and improve. Ots is a typo. It was supposed to be its. I.e. if your next offence is aggrevated then it will be straight to indef. Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fine. Also - "I warned you before about casting aspertions and attacking the motives of other editors" - Do you have a diff for that? Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:05, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On this very page in the section Contesting Redirects. You responded, "understood". Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:08, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

THanks. Hopefully you'll apply the same standards to those making personal attacks against me, when they've been warned not to do so. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously?? Is that the sum reflection of your conclusions after this block. I had hoped for more meaningful selfreflectiom. Just picking up your allegations of socking mentioned above, It is casting aspersions to accuse someone of being a sock while refusing to pursue the allegation. Asking questions is fine but then there is a point where you either shut up about it or do something. Its not permitted to keep repeating the allegation as a truth without any action. Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:19, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"while refusing to pursue the allegation" - no, if I get the necessary evidence, then I'll persue it - that's a very different thing. "I had hoped for more meaningful selfreflectiom" - well, as I've said I hope you apply the same standards to those making personal attacks against me. I guess we should both lower our hopes of each other. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:24, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Outlaws of Sonora

Hello, Lugnuts. Hope you are okay and thanks for your message. I think I've got this plot confused with another film (can't remember title) which has a doctor being kidnapped and then turning the tables on the outlaws. This one's on YouTube so I'll watch it later and see what happens. I've seen it once before but it was years ago and I think something else happened with the doctor. It's a case of everything merging into one, d'oh! Like hotels – I only remember them if they're like Fawlty Towers, ha! Anyway, glad to see you're back again. All the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shakes! All good here, thanks - hope you're well too. Despite being prolific in creating many missing articles on Westerns, it's a genre I don't really care for. Once you've seen one Western, you've seen them all, right?! Haha, yes I like your hotels analogy. I once stayed in one in Copenhagen, were the bathroom was smaller than a toilet on an airplane. I turned on a tap in the sink, to find it also turned the shower on... Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:08, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, ha! You sound like my missus. She says Westerns are the Marmite of the cinema and all horses with a gunfight at the end! That hotel in Copenhagen isn't the only one like that. I remember one somewhere in Germany many years ago where the shower was part of a fitted wardrobe and I could only just squeeze into it. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've found hotels in London to have some of the worst service and rooms in any location I've ever stayed. However, Eastern Europe seem to go above and beyond with their customer service.

Not using edit summaries

Hi sorry to butt in here, but I was also under the impression that edit summaries weren't necessary? Obama gaming (talk) 21:09, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Obama gaming: They're not strictly necessary, but it's considered a pleasant thing to do (see Help:Edit summary), especially when you're reverting an edit (as that implies you are disagreeing with that edit: we all know that Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and there can't be much collaboration - in the hopes of reaching a new compromise or understanding the existing one - if no reason is given). RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:50, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Again - "Get back to me when edit summaries are mandatory". Maybe you can start an RfC on making that so. Good luck! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Again, "it's not mandatory" is not an excuse for anything. And you haven't bothered providing a reason for those edits even outside of edit summaries, so you're not exactly very convincing. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:02, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Again - "Get back to me when edit summaries are mandatory". Give it a rest, son. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:05, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) This looks to me like a case of WP:HARRASS and that is never (quote) a pleasant thing to do, nor is anything ever (quote) an excuse for it. There is certainly a WP:POINT being made for no good reason. While edit summaries can sometimes be helpful, 99% of the time they are a waste of space because they say nothing when there is nothing to be said. I nearly always write one myself out of ingrained habit because, back in my IP days, a sysop asked me to write one each time and I believed, mistakenly, that it was mandatory. It isn't and, unless it will actually help the reader, why bother? Most of my input is copyediting and I guess the edit summaries I write most often are ce and clean up. But what do they actually achieve? If I wrote nothing and someone looked at the diff, they would immediately see a copyedit of corrections, revisions, etc. If I added a massive amount of new info which had not previously been mentioned, an edit summary such as created new section about whatever might be useful but, again, the diff would show that a whole new section had been created. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, they're trying their best to WP:BAIT me and they don't want to WP:DROPTHESTICK either. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 13:59, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnuts reverted an edit I made, and hasn't provided any reason why (not even now). Coming to a talk page to request clarifications is not WP:HARASS under any definition of that. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:53, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Shivaji Yadav

Hello, Lugnuts,

Thank you for creating Shivaji Yadav.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This article needs more references to satisfy notability for sport. What is needed are references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS; that is your guide. You may also read WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources. A more comprehensive guide is WP:SOURCES ... Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion. Kindly do the needful. Thank you.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with ((Re|Whiteguru)). Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

New articles & Google search

Dear Lugnuts:

I recently posted four articles on Wiki for consideration, all literary works by James M. Cain: Three of a Kind (novella collection), Pastorale (short story), The Baby in the Icebox and Career in C Major.

These are my first new article contributions. Why don't they appear on my Google search, as other Wiki Articles do? Confused and ignorant.--CerroFerro (talk) 18:10, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Probably has to do with how long it takes Google to catch-up with new articles on WP. Maybe someone at WP:VPT can explain a bit better/in more detail. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:13, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CerroFerro new articles don't appear on Google search for 90 days, or until a new page patroller has marked them as reviewed. Until that point, new articles have a "no index" thing on them, so search engines like Google won't pick them up. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mystery solved! Thanks Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:29, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for making personal attacks towards other editors. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

I already warned you about throwing aspersions in AFDs but this was more of the same Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnuts, I was the one who made the nomination. Please direct your anger at me, not him. Scorpions13256 (talk) 20:57, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have to wonder what is expected to be different next week, considering this at least the fifth time this user has been blocked for the same type of behavior. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I blocked him a day last time and this is the next escalation. If a week off doesn't curb his behaviour then we can look at a further escalation. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:03, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These disputes about athletes and notability have had everyone on edge for weeks now. I'm not condoning casting aspersions but it's the same group of people coming back to AfD after AfD, discussing the same issues, tensions are high all around. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:58, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would absolutely agree, and can imagine that it must be very frustrating when the same sorts of candidates are brought to AfD by editors with some experience in the field when there is either an obvious alternative to deletion or where there are clearly sources that can be found. None of the cricketer articles which have been nominated recently, for example, have been deleted. In the case that precipitated this ban, sources were provided by Lugnuts which suggested that there were clear sources available - and an ATD was presented that is entirely appropriate.

And there have been a lot of AfD notices recently. I note that the general sports RfC proposal which was accepted was clear that "There should also be some type of grandfathering so that if passed, there is not a sudden rush for AFD" - although in the enthusiasm to change the SNGs this element of it seems to have been forgotten as far as I can tell. I don't pay enough attention to the Olympics stuff to know if that was the case with the separate discussions that led to the removal of the SNG for Olympians or whether it included any suggestion of ATDs. But maybe there should be a presumption that an ATD should at least be explored - there are thousands of articles which are now clearly vulnerable to deletion as a result. And there have been a lot of AfDs which, in some cases at least, seem a little hasty at times. Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:33, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I love waking up each morning to see endless AfD notifications, now that it's open season to delete all sportspeople, along with users like Gay Fan 7 constantly socking and making horrific personal attacks. But lets focus on the real important stuff, eh? Maybe Spartaz would also like to block others who accuse Lambert of not doing any WP:BEFORE work, as I'm not alone in this line of thinking. And maybe explain why a part-time admin, who is itching to go for the block button, isn't making WP:PUNITIVE blocks. It clearly stinks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:46, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A one week block for this? I personally do not see how that is worthy of a block. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:18, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The issue is not anything Lugnuts might have written as a reaction to what he considered an inadequate BEFORE. The real issue, which sysops need to seriously address, is that certain AfD regulars automatically go for the delete option instead of showing proper respect for WP:PRESERVE which is a key component of the site's editing policy. If an article genuinely lacks significance (e.g., a non-league footballer), then of course it should be deleted. But, if the guy is a league player and therefore potentially notable, although his article currently falls short of the SIGCOV bar, then it should be a redirect per PRESERVE so that the history is retained in case someone does find the necessary coverage later. AfD is going to be a problem until these people are made to perform BEFORE adequately and learn the difference between an article that should be deleted and one that should be redirected. Lugnuts does his very best to find sources when one of his stubs is challenged and I fully empathise with the inevitable frustration that arises when he sees the same people repeatedly failing to do their best. I think this block should be terminated immediately. NGS ^{Shakin' All Over} 16:25, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spartaz this is a dreadful block. Honestly. This amounts to literally nothing in the big scheme of things, yet a week-long block?? People have directly attacked one another (indeed, admins have told users to "fuck off" for example) with no penalty. This block is utter bollocks. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:30, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks BeanieFan11. Reading that and other similar comments on the blocking admin's talkpage can only bring one conclusion - everyone will agree to disagree. Anyway, I've had a day off, as it were, to look over this, calm down and reflect. Clearly I have an issue understanding WP:ASPERSIONS. The link to Wiktionary has the definition of "To make damaging or spiteful remarks". And that's where I'm struggling. I understand what would be a personal attack, for example calling X user a <insert swear word here>, which is unacceptable, and something I wouldn't do. There seems (to me at least) to be a grey area between the boundaries of a WP:NPA and WP:ASPERSIONS. So @Spartaz: and @Beeblebrox: - please help me to help myself in this situation. If I was to request an unblock, what would you want me to say and what would you want me to agree to so we can move forward on this? Happy to strike/remove said comment, along with anything else you would deem appropriate. Believe it or not, I don't come to WP each day with the any intent on winding people up and causing disruption. I know some people may be choking on their token beverage of choice reading that, but it's true. I'm obviously too blunt (sometimes) for my own good. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:13, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's basically battlefield behaviour. You don't seem to be able to stop yourself from making comments about other editors as part of your effort to win a discussion. If you weren't on so many warnings and blocks for precisely this then of course the comment wouldn't have led to a block or let to any comment but you are on thin ice because it's not ending. Perhaps I can turn the question round on you? How can we stop you commenting on editors instead of the content. No one has ever been blocked for discussing a source or adding sourced content but doing that doesn't require you to make pronouncements about other editors as part of your contribution. The community is clearly losing patience with disruption around you and defending the articles you created at AFD without having a go in some way at those you perceive as on the wrong side seems to be very difficult for you . You have a ban from creating substubs because it leaves so much clean up to other editors and notability standards have moved well away from where you have been creating content. So how can we fix that? Blocks are a very crude tool so what else can we try?Do you have any ideas as I really feel you need some kind of filter to keep you out situations where you are tempted to say something about your "opponents"? What do you suggest? Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:26, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spartaz - OK, first off I've been working through expansion of "substubs" (here) to try and address the clean-up, and not leaving it to others. As far as AfD goes, I'm not trying to "win a discussion", I guess I'm just not the best a putting my point across. I guess I can look at an AfD, take a step back from who nominated it (as that's not important), and simply cite sound rationale(s) to keep (or indeed delete/merge/redirect, etc). Avoid saying anything that anyone could read as a non-constructive comment, and make sure the frustration around the whole change in notabilty does not get the better of me. And take that extra moment to read, re-read and double check any talk-space comment before hitting the submit button. How does that sound? Would that be acceptable for an unblock, and if not, please tell me what else I need to add. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:44, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be fine now but after a while it will go to the back of your mind and then we will be back here, except next time it might be a month or and indef and you used up your chances. I'm not saying this to create an obstacle but thinking about how to put a structure in that will save you from yourself. As a regular AFD closer I can confidently say that sources and source analysis wins a debate. I never give any weight to comments that are essentially so and so smells. My point is you don't actively win a debate by making a comment but you can even win by proxy through offering sources and policy based arguments. You have a lot of supporters, do you have any you can trust to proof your comments and copy them over without the aspersions or personal attacks? I know that is a bit demeaning and frustrating for an editor of your eminence but I'm trying to think of a solution that's going to stick rather then just kick the can down the road until the next escalating block. Something similar worked for TRM and eventually wasn't needed. I'm not going to make this a condition of an unblock but I'd like you to seriously consider this or something like it as block/unblock or block/wait it out is inevitably going to see you gone from this project because the temptation to personalise your contributions is eventually going to get the better of you until or unless you find another way to make the contribution that filters that out. I'm unblocking you now but I'd be happy to continue the conversation tomorrow and I really hope you take the opportunity to create a permanent solution that removes the issue. That would be a win for everyone. Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:59, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It's late(ish) in the UK right now - let me have a read/sleep on your post, and I'll construct a full response in the morning. Thanks again. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 21:04, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's even later here in Belgium and I'm knackered so tomorrow is fine. I'm just pleased you want to engage in the discussion. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:13, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! I honestly thought you were in North America based on your edit times. As I said elsewhere - will give this a complete review in the morning. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 21:15, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spartaz: - it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that the first thing I'll do when the block ends is to stike that AfD comment and apology in that discussion too. Hopefully you're still online and this doesn't get protracted due to timezones, etc. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:54, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I unblocked you but those annoying floating messages for talk page comments interfered with my rationale and then the autocorrect took over when I was trying to say per discussion here. Please take my comments seriously. You need to find a structural solution. Block unblock is wearing thin when the same issues crop up. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:06, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
