== Japan chronology projects ==

Is this a good or [[wikt:appropriate|appropriate]] place to post these kinds of issues?

:A. The [[List of Emperors of Japan]] is a [[chronology]].  I plan to create 100+ articles with links to this list. This [[historical]]  [[record (administrative)|record]] uses the [[wikt:unique|unique]] Japanese [[calendar]] and the Western [[Gregorian calendar]]. I have created one sample article &mdash; [[Emperor Ankō]]?

:B. The list of [[Japanese era names]] in the Japanese calendar is also a chronology.  I plan to create 200+ articles in the [[wikt:context|context]] of this list. I have created two sample articles &mdash; [[Shōō (Kamakura period)]] and [[Einin]]?

:C. As you can see, the [[Wikipedia:Basic English combined wordlist]] is supplemented with more difficult words. I provided links to relevant [[:simple:Wikipedia]] articles and [[:simple:Wiktionary]] definitions.

:D. I have used [[Japanese language]] ''[[kanji]]'' and a [[diacritic]] ([[:en:macron]]). This [[writing]] is [[wikt:consistent|consistent]] with [[:en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan Manual of Style]].  

Is this good for [[:simple:Wikipedia]]? Do you have comments? questions? suggestions? --[[User:Tenmei|Tenmei]] ([[User talk:Tenmei|talk]]) 14:18, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Answers: Is this the right place for these kind of discussions? The best place would be the talk page of the relevant article, or perhaps on Simple Talk where everyone can read it. But as this follows on from the discussions above, it will be OK to answer the questions here. Japan is not a subject that has many articles, and so your contribution is welcomed by the whole community. Lists are a difficult thing to simplify, but I think so far you have done a good job. The combined word list with links is usually the best way to go when simplifying, and if it is not simple enough, another editor will probably fix it. Kanji and diacritics used correctly are fine to use on this Wikipedia. As we do not have them in our Manual of Style, it would be suitable to default to the English Wikipedia for correct use. --[[User:Peterdownunder|Peterdownunder]] ([[User talk:Peterdownunder|talk]]) 23:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

== Arbitrary section name ==

I have made 1 or 2 minor edits on wikipedia before. I also contributed to the Fund appeal last year. Yet now I find, when i tried to log in, that you no longer have an account with my name. Further more the edits I made - even the whole webpage - has gone. If this is related to my short complaint about allowing the BBC and other institutions to send bots round to re-write history, then i demand a refund as this is NOT the site i donated to, and this cavalier attitude shown by some self important 'admins' is not what i would subscribe to either. If this message is posted in the wrong place, its because trying to actually communicate with "The editors" is a nightmare maze of menus and sub-menus that casual visitors have NO WAY of understanding. In fact, there is a useful project right there, displaying the site in TREE form, so users can navigate to the correct destination I am right royally peed off if someone has arbitrarily erased my account, and will dedicate myself to being a nightmare and a nuisance if this is the case.

:A couple of things, first off when you submit something to the wiki it gives a warning at the bottom of the page to not submit if you do not consent to have your content edited in any way.

== POV editing from IP 195.195.131.166 again ==

{{resolved}}

IP 195.195.131.166, who has been blocked previously for edits that constitute a POV and block evasion, has been creating articles on Pakistani tehsils again. This would be fine, except if you look closely, these edits define it as in "occupied Kashmir". The term "occupied" implies, depending on who's using it, that either India or Pakistan illegitimately controls an area. It is not Wikipedia's job to take a side in an international land dispute, and I think that action is needed (so many articles have been created that I wanted to get an administrator's advice before diving into it). [[User:Kansan|Kansan]] ([[User talk:Kansan|talk]]) 16:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

:I would also like to add that there have been complaints from readers that some of our coverage on this issue is biased, and in looking at them, I have found that some articles do, bluntly, take a side on the issue. I came across one today on [[Abbottabad District]] that did so very subtly. I think that this is partly due to a lack of familiarity of most editors from English speaking countries about Pakistani/Indian geography, but I think that it's worth us keeping a close eye on in the future, if not systematically going through all edits dealing with Kashmir, Pakistan, or even containing the word "occupied".

== Inactivity ==

I'm sorry, my internet access is as such that it is difficult to edit.  I don't expect to be out of this situation anytime until around early next year.  Is it possible to take leave and retain my access levels, or how is this type of situation handled?  Many thanks, [[User:NonvocalScream|Jon]]@[[User Talk:NonvocalScream|talk]]:~$ 09:38, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
:Well our current policy is a year? of inactivity I believe and knowing you you will be back far before that :) To be honest I also have less of a problem with inactivity when someone is making an effort to tell us that they will be basically inactive for some reason or another as you are so. 09:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

*I appreciate that you informed us about this. I think in this case you can just hold your rights and come back when you have a normal Internet access. Maybe you should just move yourself to inactive on the [[WP:A|adminlist]] and leave a comment on your userpage.

*Well you can ask to have them removed and then ask for them back when you come back since you would not be doing so under a cloud. Or you can do nothing and have them removed after a year of inactivity. Personally I prefer you to remove them yourself, but its totally up to you. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 12:12, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

[[User:LM]] has violated the three revert rule at [[Josip Broz Tito]].  He reverted five times in the last day.

I started discussion on the talk page of the article, but he did not join in.

:More thought needs to be shone on this username. Majorly came onto IRC today saying that checkuser blocks should not be undone without any checkuser consultations or evidence. Since Majorly did the original block, he would know better. Other checkusers could check his IPs that were used then to show he was snow funn still. I don't think it's possible to be blocked as a sockpuppet then unblocked as innocent if a checkuser did the block. This shows how hastily done with little consideration a person can agree to unblock a user and claiming he has no edits that would make him innocent.

::If that block was based on checkuser evidence I would be extremely concerned about the competence of the procedure. A summary of [http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=David+J+Wilson the history] of my activities on wikimedia projects is as follows:
::* On Sept 20, 2006, I registered the account [[:w:Special:Contributions/David J Wilson|David J Wilson]] on en wikipedia;
::* On April 21, 2007, I registered the account [[:wikisource:Special:Contributions/David_J_Wilson|David J Wilson]] on en wikisource;
::* On July 27, 2007, I registered the account [[:it:s:Special:Contributions/David_J_Wilson|David Wilson]] on it wikisource, which I later (March 3, 2009) [http://it.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Utente:David_J_Wilson&action=history had transferred] to the username David J Wilson as part of the process of unifying all my Wikimedia accounts into one global account;
::* On October 6, 2008, I registered the account [[:commons:Special:Contributions/David_J_Wilson|David J Wilson]] on commons; 
::* On March 14, 2009, I registered the account [[:it:Special:Contributions/David_J_Wilson|David J Wilson]] on it wikipedia.
::Those are the only 5 wikimedia accounts I have ever directly registered myself.  However, sometime in March 2009 I [[:m:Help:Unified login|unified]] all my wikimedia accounts into one global account, and the wikimedia software has subsequently automatically established accounts for me in 26 other wikimedia projects, including simple wikipedia.  I had never used any of those other accounts until I became aware that my simple wikipedia account had been blocked, which occurred when I recently ran [http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=David+J+Wilson the SUL toolserver].

::Judging from what [[User:Majorly|Majorly]] wrote to me in an email, the block may have been based on nothing more than that the IP associated with the registration of my account lay within a range used by a disruptive editor.  Since I access the internet via a dialup line with an ISP who probably has customers numbered in the tens of thousands, I vehemently disagree with Majorly's claim (in the same email) that "[t]he fact the IPs matched was reasonable grounds for a block".  I am, in fact, extremely angry about Majorly's handling of the matter and his attempt in his email to me to justify what appears to me to be an utterly unjustifiable block.<br>

Given the information (which I had previously been unaware of) that the account Dave_"Snow_Funn"_Wilson was registered just after I was unblocked, it's also quite likely that its name was also not a coincidence, and I retract my previous implication that it was.

*I admit that unblocking without directly asking a CU was wrong. However, in this case, I assumed two things incorrectly, 1. that the block was done using no CU evidence, and instead was done using DUCK because of the username (because there weren't any edits), and that 2. when Nev1 reported this to AN, I handled the situation by unblocking. For over 2.5 hours after that point, the 2 CUs in the admin channel (James and Bsadowski) never said anything about the unblock. My only hint that something might be wrong was when Majorly came into a channel requesting a CU to talk to. Shortly after, I logged out. When I came back in the morning, I found this. Since James and Bsadowski never said anything, I didn't think anything was wrong (since if I was, I would have expected to have my head chopped off). If the CUs want to undo my unblock, that's fine with me. They are the only ones with all the details in this matter, and can be trusted to make the correct decision.

I'm going to mark this as resolved for now. If anyone else would like to undo that I'm fine with it. My view at the moment, as I said before, is that Assuming Good Faith and leaving unblocked is unlikely to greatly harm this or other projects. Assuming you are not a sock I am sorry for the confusion David. As always (and this is honestly always the case) CU evidence is not perfect and can only be used as one of the tools at a CU or admins disposal. In this case it is always possible that a combination of bad coincidences led to this. While I was not able to see the exact evidence that was used for your block because it had expired by the time you requested unblock I can confirm that it was not just based on your IpRange matching the sock-masters since we ended up being able to verify a large portion of the information from new evidence. As always if you have questions, concerns or perhaps want help starting to do some edits "over here", ask away.

== block of PiRSquared17 ==

I recently blocked {{user|PiRSquared17}} for disruptive editing (see his talk page). Over his time here, he has been persistently annoying (see [[WT:SSP]] and [[User talk:PiRSquared17]] (see archive) for examples), and has continued his disruptive editing after many warnings from admins (linkys if wanted). IMO, he seemed to think that we were not being serious with him. He has also flooded RC (with stub sorting) even though we gave him a bot (which he has consistently mis-used) to do it with. Because of this (I was just rattling a few things off) and more, I have given him a 24 hour block. The purpose of this block is to 1. Make clear in no uncertain terms that we are being serious with him, and 2. giving a mandatory break to focus on other things besides Wikipedia. Because of concerns raised, I'm bringing it here for community discussion. If the community decides to overturn the block, by all means do so (and unblock his bot and remove the autoblock). --[[User:Griffinofwales|Griffinofwales]] ([[User talk:Griffinofwales|talk]]) 00:55, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:I said this on IRC after I saw the block as well. To be honest pir2 is not even the most annoying person on his talk page when I read it. I also do not see blocks being good for the reason given which basically boiled down to "annoying". They are not horrible reasoning behind a community decision but I do not see them as reasons for an admin to block on their own. I have to agree with what DJ said recently, people get way to overworked about the "flooding RC" thing. Is it better to have the person flagged? Yes I would usually prefer it especially when they know we usually like that. That said is it that big of a deal? No I don't think it is and I wouldn't block for something like that and I don't think people should be harassing other users about it. Polite notes and an admin flagging them? Yes.

::::Just my 2¢: I think 24 hours was a little bit excessive (especially given that he ''did'' ask for a flood flag, just above).  He's a little impatient and tends to see things in black and white, but those in themselves are not anywhere near block-worthy. What PiR does need to learn is that no editor is an island unto themselves, and- well, not "don't be annoying" as much as "listen to the community". Blocking him for a couple of hours would have been a blow with a clue-by-four since messages on his talk page don't seem to work- "As much as you are a good contributor, you didn't listen and that's not acceptable." But 24h for what was not really a climax to his "annoyingness" (and sans final warning of any kind) is a little bit harsh. <span style="font-family:Garamond">{&#123;[[User:Sonia|<font color="#CC0099">Sonia</font>]]&#124;[[User talk:Sonia|talk]]&#124;[[:en:User:Sonia|en]]}&#125;</span> 03:56, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Considering he is on IRC right now (I know, I know, don't bring IRC as justification to AN) explaining that he was making these bot-like edits just so he can bump his edit count up and get his article space total to over 50%, I think this is fully justified.  He was asked several times to keep these edits confined to his bot, but did not.  [[User:Either way|Either way]] ([[User talk:Either way|talk]]) 04:00, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

{{cc}} Another foreign-ish thought. PiRSquared has obviously abused the patience and trust of the community; trying to "get more editions using a bot on his main account", even when he has a bot account to do that. He is immature, yes. But, that doesn't means we can't get any good back from him. I'm sure he will think twice before annoying or 'retiring' again. He just does needs to learn what is right and what is wrong; if not, he's lost. PiRSquared is impatient; you know, you will eventually get the 50% of mainspace edits if you work on it. In my opinion, bot and rollback edits do not really count; better, edit counts do not really mean anything; if someone has 100 edits; but full of quality, they mean much more than 30000. I'm sorry if I write this with "weasel words", because of my "spanish-to-english-words-that-may-not-mean-the-same-in-english" fails. Everything isn't lost, just be kind, think about your actions, and how they will have repercussions on other people, and ask when you doubt. I'll be always there if you want to know anything. People, including me, learns from mistakes, especially when they are waay too idiotic, like a block for annoying ppl. If I were you, I should not run the bot at least for a month, or more if possible. Or take a wikibreak if you want, I'm actually taking one, to calm down because of my anger after [[Agustín Ross Balcony]] deletion. That is the best for you and for us.

:Personally, I agree with Sonia. 24 hours are a little bit harsh, even though he did act very slightly immature and did not listen to the other warnings. I'm sure PiR is very regretful of his actions already. He was saying on IRC, "I should never have flooded the RC" and repenting very much.

As for the block length, one day is enough time for one to sleep on it, and wake up refreshed and with a clear mind, and think about the block reasons.

* PiR is a great contributor here, I hope this block doesn't take away his will to help out. I do however think he needed a little trout slap, and I think this short block will do the trick. Flooding of RC is going to happen. As the wiki gets bigger, more contributions will pass through the new changes page. I don't have a real problem with new changes having lots of changes from an editor, that means they are helping out. What I don't like is seeing these changes from a person who has a bot that can do it. Next time, please just use the bot.--[[User:Gordonrox24|<span style="font-family:Script MT;color:#36B">Gordonrox24</span>]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Gordonrox24|<sup><span style="font-family:Arial;color:red">''Talk''</span></sup>]] 15:27, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


*I'm really not clear here, and I'm not attempting to be dense.  I don't see a preventative block here.  Best, [[User:NonvocalScream|Jon]]@[[User Talk:NonvocalScream|talk]]:~$ 09:18, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

:Ok, let me get this straight. Your bot sorts stubs, it doesn't tag them so you cannot use it for this purpose, correct? If that is the case, will you be tagging them manually, or using AWB or something like it.

:(ec)What exactly are you looking to do?  It sounds like you are going to tag short articles as stubs.  So, not stub sorting but adding templates to the article for the first time, right?

== Disruptive edits by several IPs ==

I've had some trouble with a user who has used one account (blocked) and several IPs (almost certainly proxies/tor). Normally I'd block and ignore, but this guy had my password reset and e-mailed to me, which means he may have been trying to break into my account (even though that is not a particularly good way to do so). His behaviour shows that he has no interest in participating in our group project, aside from introducing his bias and "YELLING"/insulting our users as much as possible. If you see more of him, please revert and block at will. Here are some diffs: 
*{{fullurl:Charlemagne|diff=prev&oldid=2259968}}
*{{fullurl:Talk:Charlemagne|diff=2260092&oldid=2260068}}

*{{fullurl:User_talk:EhJJ|diff=prev&oldid=2263621}}
I'd like to point out that his one account was blocked based on Check User data as an old vandal (I don't have details, as I'm not a CU). Your assistance is kindly appreciated. Best, '''[[User:EhJJ|EhJJ]]<sup><small>[[User talk:EhJJ|TALK]]</small></sup>''' 18:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
:Don't worry about the passowrd resets. Just ignore the emails and keep youring your current password. Many of us get them daily, sometimes more often. It's one of our persistant vandals, we know who btw. I'll look into the edits and take action.

::I wasn't too worried about the e-mails, I've just never had someone reset my password of even try breaking into my account (to my knowledge... who know, maybe someone has tried in the past!) Ok, just wanted to make sure that the other admins were aware of what was going on. I'd let people know on the IRC Cabal channel but for some reason my client has died and won't allow me to re-install; I'll have to try a new one later.

:::Someone broke into EhJJ's account? Did they change your email or reset your password?

:::::No, nobody broke into his account. When you login, you may notice a button that says "email new password". A known vandal put in EhJJ's user name into the user name field and pressed that button. It sent a new password to EhJJ (the vandal did not see the new password or get a copy of the email). EhJJ does not need to use this new password and simply should continue using his current one and the old password expires. Many of us, myself included, get loads of these emails every day (I've lost count) from all over WMF sites. This was the first one EhJJ got. Vandals do it because they think it's funny and think it annoys us. It isn't and it doesn't. At no point was his account compromised!
