You blocked this editor, and I see he's been blocked before. Could you take a look at the history of Government Polytechnic Soron Kasganj? I tightened up the article, including removing his name from both the list of students and the caption space in the infobox, but numerous IPs have been restoring some of the stuff I removed - and some that I condensed and moved to another place in the article. If the IPs are not him, I imagine they are his friends. The thing is, he/they are not doing any favors for the institution, in my view, with such trivia. I also cleaned up several of his other articles, and I'm concerned that unless he comes to understand the reason why I and others make such changes, he will continue to create very poor articles. I wrote him a note on his user talk after the first such IP appeared after his block. Maybe you disagree with some of my thinking, including with some of my changes to the articles; I'd also like to get someone else to look at them, to make sure I am not being overly harsh. Maybe on the other hand you can get him to listen so he does something more useful, like looking for sources. Thanks for reading this rambling statement, anyway :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 13:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels? Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters. |
Hello Ymblanter,
I have warned User:GeorgiaWikiWriter several times because of his disruptive editing and edit wars. He was also warned by @Flyer22 Reborn: and @Kunalforyou: but he ignored us all. I believe he is a pure vandal that should be blocked indefinitely. One of the last edits he made was on Westboro Baptist Church calling it "a group of fucking morons." His behavior needs to be addressed asap. Thanks. Jaqeli 16:02, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
I have heard that the James Dumont Article has been deleted on October 5, 2015. I would like to recreate the article because he has been in big films such as Dallas Buyer's Club, Ocean's Thirteen, Lee Daniel's The Butler, and Jurassic World. He has also appeared in shows American Horror Story, Wild Card, Ravenswood, Hide, and Harry's Law. He has worked in numerous tv shows and in film, so should I remake it.
The history of 14.140.220.82 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is rather complicated. The article ((la|Indian Badminton League]] (IBL) was usurped to Premier Badminton League (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (PBL) somewhere about 18 Dec 2015, possibly by Vpgautham. The article was then moved to PBL by someone not involved and IBL redirected to PBL. 14.140.220.82 initially tried to add IBL info to the IBL page here but was informed here No, the article has been moved. So, it would appear that 14.140.220.82 has been trying to un-usurp PBL and restore it back to IBL. I thought the anon was attempting to remove the copyright vio tag. If I had known that, I would have directed the anon to IBL and resolved the redirect concern. I have since copied the anon's text back to IBL. (Not sure how to recover the page history properly here). Anyway, while the anon has been non-communicative, I would suspect that if pointed to IBL, few problems would occur. I request you either remove or reduce the block time. Best regards Jim1138 (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ymblanter - could you block block-evading Supdiop4 as a sock of Supdiop? Thanks -- samtar whisper 08:26, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the protection at Noel Gugliemi. Per this Tumblr screenshot, IP editors have found it funny to go through and reinstate what's displayed. Seeing this was what caused me to begin reverting on the page. Such protection should deter them. Thanks again. Alex|The|Whovian? 12:11, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey Ymblanter, could you protect this page again? I saw you protected it some time ago, hence why I thought I'd bring it up to you. The same IP hopper is namely at it again with his persistent disruptive editing. - LouisAragon (talk) 14:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ymblanter I was hoping you would find the time to help me? From my limited knowledge for Wikipedia I managed to write my first article 'ahmed saad al azhari', however unfortunately it was deleted (by you I think?). I need to re-edit the page to make it less promotional. How do I do that as the ariticle is now deleted? Would I need to create a new article under the same name? To make matters worse, I have chosen a user name that makes it appear the subject of the article is the writer - where this is not the case. I am not Ahmed Saad. Please also could you give me general advice in areas I need to pay attention to on the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk • contribs) 22:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Sure, the link for the deletion log is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Saad_(Islamic_Scholar) I wanted to rework the article to focus on independent sources. However I still need to refer to some sources that has a relationship with the subject for factual information only. Is this ok? I just don't want to create another page again and get ahmed saad al azhari blacklisted from Wikipedia! Thank you for your time Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
I think there does need to be an article on him, as he seems to be quite a prominent Islamic personality in the UK and abroad. He has appeared in newspapers and was a panelist with Lord Cary on BBC's Doha Debates. Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Sounds good, I will get to work! Thank you for your help. It was my first article. Do you think I should create a new username? I don't want the community to think I am Ahmed SaadAhmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:22, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, hope you're well. Any chance you could start the missing article at the end of Larisa Avdeyeva? Russian wiki article.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:05, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
well first of all my "42" edits are correcting my own spelling mistakes but i wont bother doing it in future
also the sources i include the bellingcat team which you are happy to have as a source when it reinforces the pro-nato and pro-maidan narrative however based on new "research" by eliot higgins he states that the russian army crossed the border which completely contradicts the nato story that the rebels captured a buk system and for the record the ukrainian army also states that NO BUK WAS CAPTURED from them so both kiev army and bellingcat {eliot higgins} state that the german BND are wrong when the claim rebels captured a buk
you threaten to block me because even with the pro-nato journalist sources i show you that you are absolutely wrong when you delete information from them in an effort to peddle a narrative that even the ukraine army says is wrong
and in relation to "odessa clashes" you very disgracefully implying the victims burned themselves with your "building caught fire in unclear circumstances" when the videos and sources clearly show firstly the building being attacked with petrolbombs and then the escaping victims were set upon and beaten with billyclubs.
and given pro- maidan volunteermarek has chimed in proves wikipedia has no interest in information sources if sources even pro-nato one's dont agree with versions peddled by kiev
based on the pro-maidan garbage you have been peddling yes marek you are pro-maidan ....you even call eliot higgins "unreliable source" when he posts info that doesn't support western narrative but when he posts a pro-kiev narrative he is totally legit why is it that bellingcat is a riable source for this.[1]. but yet when bellingcat states this.[2]he is an unreliable source why the double standards... And as for the trade union house "bursting into flames for no reason" apparently what you can see with your own eyes is not a credible source..OK then Bazzabobo (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your page protection at the Bach page two weeks ago. The disruptive editor User:Francis who caused me to request that Full page protection has returned now a third time to continue edit warring and forum shopping on the Bach article. There is currently the history on the Bach article of your Full page protect of the Bach article, followed by another admin (MusikA) making a subsequent full page protect of Bach, followed by a third admin (SoftL) making a cautionary warning to User:Francis to follow RfC guidelines and to stop edit warring on the Bach article and the Bach Talk page. Other editors have complained about User:Francis's disruptive editing here [1].
I then rewrote the RfC into a format to allow User:Francis to bring his own version of the edit into the article by creating a separate section for him in the new RfC which I placed there last week. Instead, User:Francis then disrupted the new RfC announcement by pretending to be a co-author of the new RfC and changing its wording with the apparent intention of disrupting the RfC and deflecting all participation from other editors. The disruption of the RfC has led to a "broken" RfC with no participants joining the discussion following User:Francis's disruptive edits to the RfC.
This type of disruptive editing I have not previously seen and it has occured three times now. I can offer to rewrite a new RfC a third time to try to come even closer to consensus, but User:Francis is consistently disrupting the edits and edit warring. Since there are 4-5 editors who have requested the User:Buxte edit to the Bach article, with only two editors opposed, it seems that the original 4-5 supporting editors should be given their chance to at least have a fair RfC and to let it run the full 30-days. I can rewrite the RfC a third time if you think it would help since there does not appear to be another way to get past the three previous edit warring attempts by User:Francis. Since you were the original editor to place the Full Page Protection possibly you know the best way to ensure a stable editing environment for the RfC process on the Bach Talk page given this disruptive edit history by User:Francis. Could you glance at this. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 16:24, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

День добрый. Не могли бы вы поправить эту ошибку? Гаджет используется и в рувики (напрямую с енвики), а так у нас имена сносок зачастую на кириллице, то это становится проблемой. Исправить нужно в функции getQuotedString (я не знаю, почему там проверяется только на вхождение кавычек и пробелов, а не оборачивается всегда). --Dima st bk (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
CiteTB.getQuotedString = function(s) {
var sp = /\s/.test(s); // spaces
var sq = /\'/.test(s); // single quotes
var dq = /\"/.test(s); // double quotes
if (!sp && !sq && !dq) { // No quotes necessary
return s;
} else if (!dq) { // Can use double quotes
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!sq) { // Can use single quotes
return "'"+s+"'";
} else { // Has double and single quotes
s = s.replace(/\"/g, '\"');
return '"'+s+'"';
}
};
на
CiteTB.getQuotedString = function(s) {
var sq = /\'/.test(s); // single quotes
var dq = /\"/.test(s); // double quotes
if (!sq && !dq) { // Always quotes for non-latin alphabet
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!dq) { // Can use double quotes
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!sq) { // Can use single quotes
return "'"+s+"'";
} else { // Has double and single quotes
s = s.replace(/\"/g, '\'');

тогда оно будет ставить кавычки везде. --Dima st bk (talk) 10:59, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to get an admin to help us out on this page for over 2 months with no avail. The one Admin, Neil, seemed to only hang out there to point fingers and "oppose" any potential solutions, without once freely providing any constructive direction or suggestions on how to resolve the MANY issues on that article (which as this is a highly sensitive religious topic, as one would expect are coming from two very borderline fanatical camps; both pro and anti-Islam). Today was a "miracle day" in that we actually made some very slight progress through compromise...and the usual suspects immediately slapped it down and reverted the page to back when they "ruled the roost". I've tryied RFM (they boycott it so their tactics won't be known outside the board), I've tried the DRN, where the assigned admin is pretty much afraid to do anything....is there ANYTHING we can do to get on-going, RATIONAL admins attached to simply look at proposed changes, the supporting proof/citations and foster a consensus? The "usual suspects" who will not accept anything from one side or another will very quickly make themselves known and can be subsequently banned from those topics, and it may be very easy to manage after that.

Same question like here: Is that you? Greetings, Luke081515 16:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Ymblanter, thank you for protecting the MEDRS page during the dispute. I wanted to make you aware of the history of this ongoing dispute. Several months ago, we tried solving everything on the talk page, and when it appeared we wouldn't get anywhere, I filed an RfC on the page. The result came back that we should, indeed, make the change but a few editors on the losing side of the RfC had a problem with it and edit warred 1 2 3the change from being implemented. I tried resolving the dispute with them by contacting the closer, Elvey and he answered questions and confirmed the close. Yet these editors persisted in edit warring, so another editor, one who actually agreed with the close, filed for an administrative review here instead of going to drama boards to get these disruptive editors blocked. Upon review, an administrator, Jamesday, reviewed the close and made changes. So after filing an RfC and having it closed and some editors edit warred that result for months, an administrative review (which should have solved it) was decided, implemented, and that's also being edit warred by this same group of editors. I know you were unaware of the long history there when you told us to take the dispute to the talk page, we've done that and practically everything else and these editors are still disruptively edit warring valid changes from being implemented. At this point, is there something else that should be done? LesVegas (talk) 18:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
, and the edit note with which he implemented his suggestion read"A decision of sorts from a previously uninvolved administrator"
(emphasis added) It was BOLD and interesting but out-of-process.Decision from long-term and previously uninvolved administrator: re country of origin RfCs and WP:AN discussion: new wording to say how to proceed if you wish to use this factor. See WP:AN discussion"

Hello Ymblanter you forgot the activate the protection for 6 months Dyan Castillejo's article no log here [2] Oripaypaykim (talk) 11:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
With last round of protection at Football records in Spain having worn off two days ago, the on-going edit war has started up yet again. Considering its a small number of editors involved in this edit-war over very particular issue, might I suggest blocking the editors involved instead of protecting the page. If you look at the talk page, you'll find an uninvolved who doesn't seem to understand page protection, and who is growing increasingly frustrated with not being able to edit the page. Cheers.

About 4.5 years ago I created a page about "Jaz Banga." I saw that you recently deleted it. It had not been updated in a while.

Hello again
I created a page for an individual known as Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari, under the username ahmedsaad.ihsaninstitute. Anyway the article was rightlfuly deleted by you, and the account was deleted by Orange Mike. I have written the article again and I hope it meets your approval.
I think there should be an article on him (previous attempts used too many references from the chaps website). I am trying not to make it promotional, however I feel there needs to be an article on him due to his media appearances and influence in combating extremism.
I also wanted to get advice from you in terms of getting the article (should it meet yours and the communities approval) among the top hits on google. On searching 'Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari', firstly I can't find it at all on google, and secondly, the top hits are promotional, therefore I think a well referenced, unbiased account should be among the top hits i.e. my article on him.
what do you think? Best wishes, Imran Imran 108 (talk) 21:46, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't see that Volosovsky Municipal District was under Volosovsky District.
The whole "XYZ District" vs. "XYZ Municipal District" is confusing. I'm not sure if "XYZ District" is wrong (except when it isn't -- I don't know if all the raion were renamed, or what happened), or if it's just short for "XYZ Municipal District"... if the average person in the street (and, more importantly, the average newspaper/website/book editor) is continuing to use "XYZ District" then it's OK with me... unfortunately English language sources are hard to find at this level... anyway, thanks for looking over my work. I created Bolshekolpanskoe Rural Settlement as an adjunct to Rural settlement (Russia) (if you wanted to look over that one I'd consider it a kindness) sort of so I could point to it and say "Want an example of a rural settlement? Go there".

P.P.S. I'm particularly vexed by how to render Большие Колпаны / Малые Колпаны... as always, I'm most concerned with getting fully idiomatic English, to the extent possible (and I believe it's always possible)... I just can't think of any examples of Big / Small in America... we do East XYZ and so forth... "Little Italy", yeah, but that's very informal... I guess Americans don't want to live in "Small" anything, heh... Great Barrington gave me Great Kolpany, but what to with the other one... I went with "Lesser" but that sounds odd to me.... maybe Little Kolpany... dunno. Herostratus (talk) 09:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
I came across this edit. I am trying to understand what happened. The blockreason: "Personal attacks or harassment: likely compromized" is a bit puzzling.

I'm not sure what's disruptive about my edits to this page or why including her full name is contrary to WP:LEDE as you suggested. Quite the opposite, WP:LEDE specifically states: While a commonly recognisable form of name will be used as the title of biographical articles, fuller forms of name may be used in the introduction to the lead. For instance, in the article Paul McCartney, the text of the lead begins: "Sir James Paul McCartney"... I think the problem is that you have developed an antagonistic relationship with me from day one and you Just Don't Like It that I edited a page that you created. Since you're an administrator and so fond of wiki rules, perhaps you should consult WP:OWN.--Damianmx (talk) 21:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Ivlianovna is indeed a Russian spelling but that's not what I wrote is it? I wrote Ivlianes asuli, which is Georgian for Ivlianovna.

I cannot see any consensus for this article to be closed as "keep". Your closure looks like a supervote to me.

Please see the following: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/World_Institute_of_Pain. I originally created the article and actually can't recall how or why the RfD managed to slip past me but it doesn't matter at this point. The following link is a RS that helps confirm World Institute of Pain's notability, [9] as does their journal, Pain Practice, which is a peer-reviewed medical journal with an impact factor published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of WIP, further making it a clear pass of WP:NJOURNALS. In summary, the WIP is the sponsor of a notable journal, world conferences, symposia, and workshops, I don't see how it would not be considered a notable scientific institution; therefore, worthy of an article. Since you were the acting admin who originally deleted that article, I would very much appreciate your approval to recreate it. Thank you in advance. Atsme📞📧 15:41, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

DGG ( talk ) 16:37, 26 February 2016 (UTC)I am looking around for one or more experienced editors who might have an interest in the Putin article. As an admin I've received some complaints about the editing climate there. A glance at the talk page suggests incompetent dispute resolution. In the sense that, if the people had any patience, they might be able to come up with well-formed RfCs. That kind of thing. Russian speakers might have additional insight, and I know you've dealt with messy disputes as an admin. My contribution so far is that I banned one editor from the page under DS per a complaint at WP:AN3. Any thoughts about how best to handle this? If there is no hope of getting any cooperation from the most active editors then a month or more of full protection might be considered. One person suggested Arbcom but I consider this to be regular nuts-and-bolts admin work, unless people are too burned out. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. This is a result of an AfD regarding a different nunatak - please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tommeliten Rock.

Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Driller (2nd nomination), WP:RELIST is quite clear: "if at the end of the initial seven-day period, the discussion has only a few participants (including the nominator), and/or it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy, it may be appropriate for the closer to relist it".
The above discussion is open from a month now, had over a dozen participants, four of them after the last relisting, and it is full of policy and gidelines-based arguments (more from one side than from the other, actually). I am involved as I voted there, but your relisting looks very inappropriate if not bizarre and suspect, there is no reason to relist a deletion discussion plenty of comments A FOURTH TIME and keep it open more than a month, except if the relistener does not like the current consensus and hopes to have a different one (trust me, I hate to assume bad faith, but that's what your actions here suggest). Please revert the relisting and let's have a close, one month is time enough. --Cavarrone 07:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Putin is trying to destroy Western countries by inundating them with refugees from Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Syria, Ukraine and others which he is now bombing and planning to bomb in the future. He is building up and deploying nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, perhaps, to bomb the United States. Some time Western countries should begin to resist his military aggression, and the sooner the better. Psychiatrick (talk) 23:15, 12 March 2016 (UTC) |

Hi, Ymblanter,
You blocked this editor for "block evasion" and included a link to an edit from 2015 that mentions a different IP editor. Can you tell me which blocked editor you believe IP24 is and the basis for your suspicions? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Ymblanter, @DoRD:, @Liz:, I also don't necessarily think that the IP is directly connected to Bladesmulti, even though he reinstated a very peculiar edit of him and for the fact that its known that Bladesmulti very occasionaly hops in. What I however do strongly believe and am sure of (99%) is that the edit-warring/disruptive IP whom Ymblanter has blocked,[10] is the exact same WP:SPA IP hopper whos warring and ignoring BRD on the History of Iran page.[11]-[12]-[13].
Even if they're unrelated to Bladesmulti/Occultzone, this is not just a case of violating 3RR or edit warring, but also disruptive IP hopping/socking.
Furthermore, I believe that these other recently used IP's, who are also all from New Jersey, with the exact same interests and with the same type of edits/edit summaries, are also used by this user in question.[28]-[29]-[30] A range block could perhaps be helpful to deal with this. There's definetely something more going on here, and it should be digged out and dealt with accordingly. Look furthermore at their revision history how it further perfectly syncs with the other linked IP's. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Last revert was February 2016. Is that enough for PC renewal? --George Ho (talk) 09:27, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi! This is related to this incident Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive916#File_upload_issues. Another User:Manzoor2015 with similar habits is editing the same scope of articles. There is also a glaring WP:COMPETENCY issue. An article named Zirayats was created with the only content "Ziyarats is the plural form of Ziyarat." (I am not even look at the spelling mistake). Files (which are clearly copied) are being uploaded again. I have a feeling that this is the same user and it would be good to block him. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

After closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uncrowned (as "delete"), I noticed that you had previously closed it (as "no consensus") and then reverted your closure. I suppose you had your reasons, but since my closure led to the deletion of the Jack Andrad article, which you had redirected to the band's article as part of carrying out your closure, I thought I'd mention the matter here.

You certainly revert edits faster than you answer mail! Since my last edit I read enough of the article to see that it is pure propaganda. One example: in the fourth paragraph of the section, "Detention and trial in Russia" it is stated that "During her long trial in Russia, Savchenko has been held in a cage". Of course, this is a pure lie. Only the box in court is encased in glass, and this is not a special treatment reserved to her.

Hi please explain me why my version is not good for you?

Yes i replaced one source with another because there is only that "another" meaning at the beginning!
Excuse me but there is pro-russian source [1] made by NATALIYA VASILYEVA (russian giornalist) so why i can't put some of ukranian sources to make it more closer to neutrality?? Yes this requires a discussion because this article offends me and some of ukrainians [2] That's why i decided to change it. But if you read this "Material such as an article, book, monograph, or research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable, where the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources or by well-regarded academic presses." so you cant say that institute of history of Ukraine isn't RELIABLE source. By the way if you read closely this article you will see that source i used "www.history.org.ua/" is already linked so you cant say that "not make it more neutrality".
SO please explain me why you change my version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olexis (talk • contribs) 19:22, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Your close of the deletion discussion was completely reasonable and appropriate. But, there is an issue with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duplekita that isn't obvious: The content at Duplekita was moved from User:Trekie9001/Duplekita under the edit summary "stale draft that appears notable, covered by cbc in Canada" (not by the author whose namespace in which it resided). Per the guideline about such moves WP:STALEDRAFT "If suitable for mainspace, move to mainspace". If the content gets nominated for deletion and subsequently deleted, it clearly wasn't suitable for the mainspace. The user who moved the page actually !voted "Delete per nom, thanks for the good analysis" in the discussion (this among other things leads me to further question their move of the page). MfD would have been the proper forum for a deletion discussion as their move was inappropriate. AfD has higher standards than MfD, as they govern different namespaces, and what content can exist in each namespace varies per policies and guidelines.
So, that leads to my request, would you restore the content to User:Trekie9001/Duplekita or the draft namespace? Best Regards,—Godsy(TALKCONT) 20:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Would you mind offering your opinion regarding this at the ANI discussion? It seems like the concern was entirely about the location and basis for the discussion and there is seemingly no interest in the actual work on it. Was that your intention with restoring it, that the AFD itself was incorrect or was it for the purpose of hopefully seeing something being worked on? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello. You have made a page protection for Donetsk bus shelling incident. User RGloucester take an advantage over IP users using page protection request. Note, it was no any discussion (!) related to this article (neither merging nor deletion). User merged it without consensus. Many other users reverted this merging during the year, see [34] [35] [36]. Also user RGloucester violated 3-revert rule many times. The discussion about merging should start first.

Hello, can you please explain to me why File:AMAA Statuette.jpg was deleted? The nominator provided no prove of copyright problems. The copyright status of the image is clearly explained in the description. The nominator claims that I said i didn't own the image, which i never did. What I said was that the image couldn't be free even if took it, since it is a derivative work. This is what the user misinterpreted to mean that I didn't own the image. I thought any admin deleting the image would investigate properly before deleting, that was why I just ignored the user's deletion request. Also you closed the discussion as delete, even though no discussion took place and it was actually without a concensus. I'd like to know what informed these decisions. Thanks.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 15:20, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

May be Azerbaijan was also occupied?!! and may be just may be Caucasus is Poland and mountain jews started to speak Yiddish?!!!

Also the source http://www.sbs.com.au/topics/life/family/article/2016/03/01/website-could-help-you-find-your-birth-parents-through-social-media is not related to the single event issue.

Hi there. Forgive me for asking but why have you just accused me of disruptive editing? An editor added that Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1783 and you deleted it saying that that was unsourced. When I looked into it, I see that other articles contain that same piece of information including 'Autonomous Republic of Crimea - so I readded the statement along with a source. So why is that disruptive? It is helpful as it was dealing with the reason why you deleted the original edit. Qaz1984 (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello! For the past few months, the same user has repeatedly used different IP addresses to remove the logo from the Nickelodeon Arabia article, claiming that it is "unofficial" each time. Their statements are difficult to understand, as they use improper grammar and never provide references for their claims. The user has never logged in and refuses to participate in a discussion about the changes. This is becoming a problem, because after the article's temporary protection expired, the user simply returned to make the same disruptive edits.

Hi, I hope you can help me since you’ve semi-protected this page. Don’t know what that means exactly, but I think I’d better not change that page even if I would be able to without contacting you first. The problem is, I’ve been trying to correct an obvious error on this plage, but this Glitchygirl insists on having things incorrect and accuses me of vandalism and sockpuppetry and has been posting threats on my talk page. No sockpuppetry on my behalf, so at least two different people, maybe three, have tried to correct this error and have had their edits reverted by this Glitchygirl. She decided that part of the filming will be in the Dutch region of Holland (that article is what she’s be linking to) because that’s what her source says. Here she clearly says she is talking about the region and seems certain the press release she refers to did not use "Holland" as another name for the Netherlands. Having been Dutch for over 47 years now, I think I know about my country better than she or some Hollywood marketeer does, and I happen to know that for as far as the filming for this movie in the Netherlands is concerned, it’s not in the Holland region at all, but on the Ijsselmeer near Urk, Flevoland. I tried changing Holland into the Netherlands, which seems correct enough to me, but have even been more precise. All my changes have been reverted by this Glitchygirl. I have this source in Dutch, but since she insists that sources should be in English I saw no point in adding it. Well, perhaps you can settle this matter? Fnorp (talk) 08:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

However, the reported editor has continued to edit the page, taking it even further from the consensus being discussed on the relevant talk page.

Not wanting to be rude, but I don't think I'm correct, I know that I'm correct because citations prove it. Furthermore, on the CompanyHousing Website, UK, it clearly states the official name.

Hello Ymblanter, how are you doing? Remember the issue with user "Damianmx"? Even though he's hanging on a thin rope, he is still continuing with his disruptive edits. One would think he'd "knock it off" by now regarding his highly disruptive editorial pattern after two consecutive blocks and so many issues/argues with users and moderators numbering in the double digits. But no, unfortunately this is not the case.
Overall, his editoral pattern continues to be what it used to be; desperately trying to drag Georgia into Europe,[53]-[54] keeping a "Near Eastern-free" sphere around Georgia-related articles, and trying to break all extensive historical bonds it has with the Near East. Some more diffs; [55]-[56]. You've seen completely similiar diffs from the same user some time ago. Just like back then, he does so by either removing sourced content, changing sourced content, using fake edit summaries, as well as by replacing WP:RS with non-WP:RS sources, just to back up his own agenda and to warrant for the removal of matters he doesn't like to see. He does it quite cleverly, by making a certain "amount" of edits on the topic every month/few weeks, so that it doesn't drag too much attention.
Some time ago prior to his second block, as you might remember, I gave you another list of disruptive edits made by him. The editorial pattern is still very much the same. From his Iran-related obsession,[57]-[58]-[59]-[60]-[61]-[62] to making partisan edits, as well as removing sourced content. I can literally ping another 10 users if needed that would be willing to give their voice regarding his constant disruption and partisan editing. I can list another 30 diffs that demonstrate his continued disruptive editorial pattern as well, if needed. Please keep in mind as well (as you know) that no talk page discussion with said user, regardless of whether the disussion was with me, or others; it has never ever proved to be of any use. I will repeat my words I said during my very first encounter that we both had with him; I'm fully convinced that he's not a new user (simply look at his editorial pattern from the start up to including now), but until we find out who the sockmaster is, all we can see are the rest of his WP violating edits. Obviously its up to you regarding what actions you'll take, but I just wanted to leave his here as its completely undoable for the rest of the editors to deal normally and not-time consuming with this constant nuisance. I won't dispute that he has made several good and useful edits as well on several articles, but his editorial pattern as a whole is still way too much in conflict with Wikipedia's guidelines. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:07, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
If the Wiki founders wrote up an MoS demonstrating their preferred method of doing things, then why should some people have to fight to make articles that way, even though when they break MoS in other places they get told they can't do that, and then here you are claiming that it's supposedly "disruptive" to make an article MoS-compliant?
And if you plan on saying something "nifty" like, "Uhh, because you didn't secure a consensus," then why should any more consensus than what the MoS already is even be needed? Why do we have the manual if we're just gonna be reverted against and scolded for using it? 2600:100E:B108:359F:2855:2189:4343:D428 (talk) 08:06, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Ymblanter:, just a friendly note re. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahmad Thomson. There were actually three editors there arguing for "keep" (E.M.Gregory, AbstractIllusions and Caseeart) and six for "delete" (including me). However, I believe we should not touch upon !vote numbers in closing remarks at all as you did - sound, policy-based argument is what matters, not !vote count. Here, both sides presented policy-based arguments and I don't see there was a consensus for delete at this stage. Regards, — kashmiri TALK 08:00, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello Ymblanter,
There has been a content dispute at Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War regarding inclusion of sourced material showing that ISIS has used human shields in an attempt to prevent Russian bombing attacks. Several editors have argued that it should not be included because of SYNTH problems, or because the material is said to be not relevant to the topic of the article. Others (including myself) say the material should be included for NPOV.
The matter has been disputed since April at the article talk page, and Tobby72 opened a ticket at the NPOV noticeboard on May 21 at: Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Islamic_State_war_crimes_.26_POV_tag
I am wondering if it would have made more sense for Tobby72 to have done an RfC, since this would customarily be closed by an uninvolved editor or admin. As matters stand, I see no obvious finding of consensus, but the editors who want to exclude the material are telling me that I need to WP:DROPTHESTICK.
Do you agree that the discussion is over? Or would it be possible for someone to do a "closing" as if it were an RfC?
As a relatively new user (here since ~February) I am very interested in your view on the matter. I saw that you cleared up a very similar dispute at Human rights in Ukraine simply by inserting and cleaning up the disputed material, and no one has dared to revert you.

Hi there,
I just wanted to comment on your closing rationale over at the AN Translation tool edit filter thread. You said that "Articles are being created in great number". I feel that this is at best an exaggeration. 11 pages a day is not a great number, and any admin can spend 30 minutes a day to keep up with this problem. This isn't to say it's not a problem, but rather that it's not an urgent one. I am requesting that you reword that section of your close, and hold off on implementing the edit filter for 24-48 hours to give the language team time to respond. I think that your close is broadly correct, and won't push the issue further than this, but I hope that you will consider my points.

Hi Ymblanter,
Please restore the page on Christopher Holcroft to my user space as per above.
In relation to notability, the books mentioned in the article have been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the books themselves. This is borne out in the various references. This includes published works in newspaper articles and independent reviews. No media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book have been used to write the page. The three books written for teenagers have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant movement ie Scouts in Australia. No other books on teenage Venturer Scouts have been written and published in Australia, about Scouts in Australia by an Australian. His other two books are instructional on the afterlife through fictional adventure. The books' author is historically significant as he has been both a Journalist and Military Public Affairs Officer in the service of his country at home and abroad and for the United Nations. He brought this experience to the fore in his books through adventure. 7Lawrence 01:17, 2 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 7Lawrence (talk • contribs)

Hi Ymblanter. I am assuming that you undeleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Holcroft and userfied it to User:7Lawrence/Christopher Holcroft so that it could continued to be worked on by 7Lawrence. The userpage was just tagged for speedy per WP:G4 by 142.105.159.60 which does not seem correct based upon what G4 says: "It excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content that has been moved to user space or converted to a draft for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy)." Can the speedy tag be removed here? FWIW, I had this on my watchlist because of some EL clean up I did before the article was AFD'd. If is to be deleted again so be it, but it appears that 7Lawrence has been trying to improve it. So, maybe it should be taken to MfD instead by 142.105.159.60. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:25, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

You say you're sure someone will follow up if I raise my points on the article's talk page, but no one does unless I contact them directly, and I don't know how to find anyone in a good position to help me. You say your role isn't to impose any perspective, but your talk page is full of evidence that you're imposing your perspective all the time, and you've obviously imposed it on me. You give wide-ranging assistance to others here but almost none to me. You falsely accuse me of legal "threats" when I'm actually seeking a way to AVOID legal action. Then you insist on blocking multiple IPs (which my service provider will likely reassign to people who have nothing to do with this) unless I violate both my conscience and my religion with a false confession to the supposed legal threats I've never made. Your actions toward me are not right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.53.227.205 (talk) 05:50, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
"Another" user? As I've already said, I'm not a Wikipedia user. I'm the Kurt Evans *NAMED IN THE ARTICLE*. You don't need to understand U.S. elections. If you'd take five minutes to look at the article's edit history and talk page as I'd suggested above, you could see that I've carefully explained each of my edits, and "ALPolitico" was the one who started (two months ago!) repeatedly undoing my edits with no explanations. I've also attempted to discuss these issues in great detail on the article's talk page (I gave you the link above), and "ALPolitico" is the one refusing to discuss them further. If you won't even look at the situation, can you at least refer me to someone who will? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.249.252.30 (talk) 21:38, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm not a regular Wikipedia user and don't know how "edit-warring" is technically defined here, but as I've clearly and repeatedly explained both in the article's edit history and on its talk page, my revisions have been intended to correct misleading, false and possibly defamatory information. "ALPolitico" has given only the vaguest of reasons for his edits (when he's given reasons at all), and it appears he's engaged in a months-long effort to portray me in the worst possible light, even to the point of using Wikipedia to spread patently untrue information about me. I'm obviously extremely disappointed by your insistence that I involve the Wikimedia legal team in this matter, but it seems I have no other choice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.249.254.52 (talk) 20:11, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

"Renault S.A." page is an article about RENAULT MARQUE! Matvei Gromov (talk) 08:02, 5 September 2016 (UTC) |
Your close of this AFD is plainly defective. You stated that "there is a split on whether her only award is notable, and hence whether she passes PORNBIO". That misstates the applicable guideline. PORNBIO requires that a qualifying award be well-known and significant, a higher standard than merely notable. PORNBIO was changed by consensus in this regard in 2012. If there is no consensus that the award passes a low bar, there really is no case that it passes the actual higher bar in the guideline.
The delete !votes in this discussion were substantially more numerous, better argued, and better grounded in policy and guidelines. The keep !votes, to the extent they had any grouding, pretty uniformly rested on the argument that meeting any part of PORNBIO "automatically" guaranteed the subject an article. This contradicts express language in WP:BIO, which PORNBIO is part of, saying that technically passing an SNG "does not guarantee that a subject should be included". !Votes which contradict the governing guideline should be discounted, especially when they are in the clear minority. Finally, the keep !~voters made only trivial attempts, at best, to rebut the argument that, as a BLP without adequate reliable sourcing, the article should be deleted. BLP policy overrides a marginal pass of a dubious SNG. See Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 December 26, which presents essentially the same issues, and the community strongly endorsed deletion, as well as the similar, quite recent, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kristina Rose.
Finally, you posted to the article's talk page that the AFD had closed as keep. This is plain error. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 12:06, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I have a basic knowledge of english, I can read it much better than write it. I don't Know if l'm capable to express or explain the matter or subject with all the necessary details. So I gonna write it in spanish, hoping that you can understand me.
Soy nativo de Mexicali, Baja California. Toda la vida he visto ese cerro al oeste de la ciudad, El cerro del Centinela o simplemente el Centinela, de hecho yo fui el creador de la wiki en español para el cerro. Entrando en materia, creo que las wikis o artículos de wikipedia deben preservar la tradición de su idioma y los nombres propios son parte de esa tradición. No se trata de traducir el nombre, o anglificarlo si puede ser correcta la expresión, sino que existe un nombre diferente en inglés para ese mismo cerro o montaña, porque como lo expreso en la wiki en español, ese cerro es un simbolo de la región y al ser esta una región fronteriza convergen elementos de una cultura y otra. En California existe una localidad pequeña llamada Mount Signal y tiene su wiki donde dice que se llama precisamente así por la montaña, luego otro articulo de un artista plástico, cuyo nombre es Allan McCollum, hizo una de las páginas que yo cito en mi artículo en español pues el ha coleccionado más de cien imágenes de la montaña a la cual llama: Mount Signal, no El Centinela. Resumiendo los norteamericanos o Estadounidenses crearon el nombre Mount Signal para ese rasgo de su entorno y yo digo que debemos respetar eso, aunque la montaña no esté en su territorio. Tengo más razones, si quieren, luego se las expongo.Verdelunar (talk) 00:17, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
Y actualizando o abonando un poco más al tema, Estado Unidos quitó a Mexico más de la mitad de su territorio en 1848 y en aquellos años los limites de la Alta California quedaban al sur de esa montaña, de no haberse modificado dichos límites las montaña oficialmente se denominaría Mount Signal, pero más aun muchos nombres como por ejemplo San Diego y Los Ángeles siguieron usandose de aquel lado de la frontera, pero esto es debido al uso y la costumbre es decir que existe una cultura que lo llama de esa forma. Más aun el monte Everest tiene su wiki bajo ese nombre en casi todos los idiomas occidentales pero en la wiki china es Chomolungma, es decir otro mombre diferente y es tan valido uno como otro, porque existe un uso y una costumbre qyue el punto que quiero ponderar.

Hello, Ymblanter. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

It's perfectly normal on Wikipedia to include sections describing an artist's political view on Wikipedia. De Niro and Springsteen have whole sections dedicated to their political views! So why does this user insist on removing this referenced fact on the artist's political stand from the article? Maybe he finds it uncomfortable that Russian artists support Crimea's accession to Russia, but that's not a valid reason to remove a referenced piece of information.

Hello Ymblanter, Their is an issue going on. I don"t really understand this User Citobun, He/she is accusing me a COI when am not engage with COI on wikipedia, i have explained to him/her on its [talk page] but still don"t understand me yet. Due to this issue He/she decided to nominate all my article which i have created AFD. To be sincere this is not right according to wikipedia Harassment. I explained my self in a good manners to Him/her but still not comfortable. I believe what Him/her did was not proper on wikipedia. That is not the right way to nominate an article for AFD. He/she decided to frustrate me with that. He/she talks to me, to prove my self about the Images uploaded, i understand Wikipedia says About Uploading Images to an article.

Hi, I wondered if you or Ezhiki would be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge? The idea is to showcase the work being done on wikipedia across the continent, and inspire more people to create and work on countries which might not usually get much attention and then possibly running some contests to bring in new editors. I know it's very existence will definitely make me more likely to contribute more on Russia and other countries. Could be a way to highlight work needing doing for Russian and draw in new editors! Or start a 1000 Challenge for Russia feeding into it or something? Not sure, but if interested add your name to the participants and I'll consider setting something up later in the month.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:47, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

There were two articles: 1998 Franklin Templeton Tennis Classic and 1998 Tennis Channel Open. They each had their own histories which are now lost with your move. I specifically cut and pasted to maintain the histories. It started as "1998 Franklin Templeton Tennis Classic" which was then incorrectly redirected to "1998 Tennis Channel Open" where it stayed for a long while, gaining it's own history. Did you merge the histories of the two articles, or is one now lost forever? I simply shifted the content and redirect. Also, now the content is back to the wrong content and has to be fixed.

Hi Ymblanter, I have a question regarding the implentation of this WP. Does the rule (order of languages listed in the lede) also count for historical entities, and specifically administrative provinces of former empires, whose soil later became part of independant nations? E.g. on the Tiflis Governorate; should Georgian be listed ahead of Russian simply because the letter "G" shows up earlier in the alphabet than the letter "R" or "O"? This "alphabetic rule" is what NCGN, as far as I can see, stands for, but it seems to be solely meant for geographical locations/cities/towns, and waters, and not for historically administrative provinces/territories, hence my question. Thanks much in advance - LouisAragon (talk) 16:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

You can colour in the right district on that and upload a locator File:Mozambique districts.png !♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ymblanter, thanks for your edits on Mozambique, particularly on the article on the district of Homoine. I have one question though: you wrote that one of the two "Postos Administrativos", in which the district is divided, is called Sede. This is what the source (district profile) says in the relevant heading, but in Portuguese "Sede" just means Seat, Headquarters, Capital. If you follow that rule and you edit other districts, you might end up with hundreds of Sedes in Mozambique. I believe that the name of the PA should be "Homoine" (as shown in most tables of the profile) or Homoine-Sede, as is customary in many government sources. Anyway, this is a suggestion, and I will use your maps in the Portuguese language articles (unless you put them there, of course). Thank again for work! Teixant (talk) 08:43, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ymblanter, now that you are upgrading the articles on the province of Gaza, you should know that recently the government decided to create 3 new districts in the province: Mapai, Limpopo and Changoene (http://clubofmozambique.com/news/mozambique-has-three-new-districts-mapai-limpopo-and-chongoene-renamo-votes-against/). Another article states that the seats will be "...Conjoene, Nuvunguene e Mapai, que vão ser as sedes dos distritos de Chongoene, Limpopo e Mapai, respectivamente."

Could you take a look at this edit request to United States presidential election, 2016?

Hi Ymblanter.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ymblanter,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

OK. Dear Ymblanter,
I'd like to say that the article on Odessa Film Studio contains information about the history of the studio:

«History
It was founded on May 23, 1919».
"In 1922 (not 2005) was "film sektion" reorganized into the Odessa film studio of All Ukrainian photo film government (AGPFG)".
Official website of the Odessa Film Studio (Please look at the infobox: Website http://odessafilm.com.ua "Hystory" http://en.odessafilm.com.ua/pdf/History.pdf) contains the same dates:
- «On May 23,1919 by order of the Education Board was nationalized the film and photographic apparatus of all private studios. This date was the day of birth of the first in the country state film studio».
- In 1922 was "film sektion" reorganized into the Odessa film studio of All Ukrainian photo film government (AGPFG)».
- «In 2005 was Odessa film studio reorganized to Close Joint Stock Company (the government owns the majority of shares)».

Hi, Ymblanter. I need your help, advice, guidance, whatever. On 29 November, I made edits such as this one. They were all explained, with links to relevant guidelines. On 31 December (today), Marbe166 reverted them with no explanation. I reverted the unexplained reversions and started a discussion on Talk:Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland. BabbaQ (who was very active on 29, 30 and 31 December but did not oppose the change) comes along, like last month, and reverts with no explanation. Neither user pays any attention to the talk page, but BabbaQ did not miss the opportunity to report me for vandalism after this one revert.
This is a matter of basic WP guidelines, the Manual of Style for biographies, not to mention encyclopedias in general and common sense. To define "Prince Carl Philip of Sweden" as "a Swedish prince" is insane, akin to defining Barack Obama as an Obama. It is bad enough for such edits to be dismissed on a whim; for a hostile editor to take advantage of that to malign me is rather sickening. Surtsicna (talk) 17:54, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ymblanter. Just a quick question regarding NPP that I can't find an answer to on the help pages. A user created University of Western Ontario, Canada, which I turned into a redirect to the existing University of Western Ontario article. I then marked the former as patrolled. Was that the correct thing to do - should redirects be marked? Cordless Larry (talk) 18:40, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
