== Direct copy by IP from en to sim ==

[[User Talk:78.147.221.239]] is directly copying numerous articles from en to sim without any attribution simplification or even cleaning them up some. I have notified them with helpful advice, however, they are not responding in the fashion they should as they are still doing it. At this point I am not sure what to do besides going and tagging them all QD for either copyright or from another project. Can an admin please advise me? The articles are 96% to 100% matches.

== Semi Protection of [[Wikipedia:Notability]] ==

Hello. On the wikipedia policy about notability there as been a lot of vandalism. A bunch of IPs are adding notability tags to it and changing the template "nutshell" to "nutcracker". Many of them have been blocked for long-term abuse and block evasion, but the long-term abuse user keeps hopping onto different IPs. I suggest indef semi protection so all these abusive IPs can't edit the page. Thanks, [[User:Animalguy7|Animalguy7]] ([[User talk:Animalguy7|talk]]) 01:02, 5 June 2021 (UTC).
:Just a thought, an admin may still decide to protect, but it's a relatively low number of edits probably from the same person on different IPs. Makes me think protecting the page will just move their vandalism to another page. It's probably less about the page itself and more about just messing with us. Continuing to block is probably the more effective solution. --[[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>]] 05:42, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

== Possible global lock evasion ==

There is a global lock on a user who keeps creating the [[Muhammad Zaid]] article. I started researching this and found the global sock leads back to [[:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Zaid_Zayd/Archive]]. I have seen this article has been created by the same globally blocked user. It was created again today by Logogresta (not tagging user at this point). They also created [[Mahmood Ul Hassan]] (I put in for an RfD but based on what I see on EN wiki, this is indeed a fictitious person, so I am going to QD instead.) Based on the history of the globally locked and en wiki 100 sock puppets, I am assuming this is the same person. Here is the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Zayne_Hijazi global information] on the locked account. They show this as a spam only account. I am wondering:<br>
#What do others think?
#Should I do a global request for checkuser?
#Can we temporarily block the user?<br>

:Also, I think people are spending too much time and effort flagging user and user talk pages this way. The pages don't have to be flagged at all.

== [[Jimmy Hibbert]] page semi-protection required ==

[[Jimmy Hibbert]]  has been subject for months to two warring IPs attempting to add conflicting dates of birth without any citations to a reliable source.  There are zero reliable sources for a date of birth for this person (I have checked extensively) and this is a biography of a living person. The IMDB bio, which is not a reliable source, actually contains both conflicting DoBs. The IPs even remove "citation needed" tags. This article should be protected from IP editing ideally for the foreseeable future. The IPs have pulled the same thing on the English WP article which is now configured to allow only autoconfirmed registered users.

== Suggestion for semi-protection of [[Google Sites]] ==

Obvious from the article title, this page is about Google Sites. Although we have several IPs who want to write about Sesame Street with spam links. Therefore I would like to suggest semi-protection to this page for several months. I would like to hear about opinions from others.

I noticed some group of editors that were really similar (similar userpage, editing patterns). The editors first edit unrelated articles, then they edit something related to tech and companies, after which they stop editing. I suspect these might be socks that edited for promoting the articles.

== Mass Deletion of pages ==

I'd like to post this here to see if we can resolve this quickly without going back through RfD/QD tagging everything here. I'd like a mass deletion of the vast number of redirects created earlier today by [[Special:Contributions/2A00:23C5:8D98:E201:6078:E3B7:FF89:2B8A|2A00:23C5:8D98:E201:6078:E3B7:FF89:2B8A]] based on the consenus that we do not need these pages that was discussed at [[Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2021/National Insect of Bangladesh|this RfD]]. Also looks like it's probably a case of an LTA. There are a number of legitimate looking articles that should be excluded from this cleanup. --[[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>]] 01:39, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

== Editing ==

There are many articles on Wikipedia that accuse Donald Trump of saying certain things.  However, they can not be proved as true.  The references are simply references to articles written by the news media.  If these accusations can not be verified by a source other than an article written by someone who doesn't have the evidence to back it up, then the word allegedly should be added before the accusation.  When I made this correction, I was immediately told that my edits were being reversed because non-English speaking people would not understand the word.  If someone doesn't speak English, then they can look at Wiki translated to their language.  I do not think anyone should be blamed for something that has not been verified.  I am not a Trump fan, but I do respect fairness. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Lcwaves|Lcwaves]] ([[User talk:Lcwaves#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Lcwaves|contribs]]) 06:28, 1 August 2021 (UTC)</small>

:{{re|Lcwaves}} Thank you for voicing this concern. First, about the word "allegedly": the entire point of this wiki is to use simple language. Instead of using that word, you could rephrase the sentence to use simpler language. If I knew the exact sentence you're referring to, I might be able to suggest other wording.
:As for using various news media sources to support claims of what someone said, Wikipedia has the concept of [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. If a source is considered reliable, then we trust that what they say is true. Again, without knowing exactly what sources were being used to support the claim(s) you are talking about, I can't say anything more.

== Temporary protection request ==

Can you temporarily protect the articles [[Flag]], [[Yogurt]], [[Country]] and [[Baklava]], because an IP [[212.108.146.62]] is constantly POV pushing?

I suspect that 212.108.146.62 is the same IP [[185.135.96.2]] who is POV pushing in the same pattern in the same and related articles. The IP has a history of POV pushing and edit warring with other IP users and also administrators/rollbackers. Please check the log and POV edits of this user, and temporarily protect the articles this IP has POV edited on.

They also include [[Tricolour]], [[Dolma]], [[Shambali]] and [[Doner kebab]], the former two articles which are temporarily protected until August 7. Can you extend the temporary protection of the first two articles and temporarily protect the latter two articles as well.

This IP will likely start erasing sourced information, POV pushing and edit warring again, once the temporary protections end.

== RfD page ==

I noticed a couple of quirks on this page.
#In the rules it states “this is not a vote” and refers to it as a “suggestion” but the template for creating a new one adds “ '''''Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.'''''
*Maybe fix the template so it doesn’t say vote but suggestion instead?
#It puts the entire page in the category of RfDs that succeeded. I know this is from the section where closed RfDs are put on the page. Is there a way (perhaps commenting out) the addition of the category so it does not get added to that specific category. There are active discussions on that page too but I feel if we can get it removed then it helps clean up categories.

== User:Justin DUACE ==

There is something up with this user. The grammar on their user page is way off, they are stating they have patroller rights, which they do not, they are focussed completely on one article and it is up for RfD, of which they did not correctly add their comments causing a run on sentence, they threatened HockeyCat and now they are posting on my page to not delete things. I am wondering if maybe a CU is needed on this. I wanted to get admin thoughts on this behavior. Thanks.

== New Stub ==

Hello admins! Would you be ok if I created a stub for flowers or something close to it? There are some articles that deal with flowers and such that are stubs but the best I can do is just the standard stub, but I think getting these a little more refined can help with putting them in a list for articles to be worked on. I would like to learn to do this, if someone could walk me through it. One example is [[Mustard plant]]. Maybe a different word instead of flowers like maybe Plants-stub? [[User:PotsdamLamb|PDL]]<sup>[[User Talk:PotsdamLamb|Talk to me!]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/PotsdamLamb|OMG, What have I done?]]</sub> (Pronouns: He, him, his) 20:15, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
:Bring it up over on the [[Wikipedia talk:Simple Stub Project]]. It has a bunch of rules of thumb that we say should be the case before a new stub is created. Things like there needs to be over 1000 articles already that would need the stub. There needs to be multiple editors already working on expanding flower stubs etc. -[[User:Djsasso|Djsasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 20:32, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

== "Projects" ==

I see we are into another bout of self-announced "projects". One reason we do not have projects is that they distract attention from what we do onto things some think we ought to be doing. We do not have enough people interested to make a proper job of them, and they are just ways of individual editors creating their own sand-pits to play in. Subpages of a userpages are meant to be used to make articles for the wiki, not to evade our collective decisions as to what the wiki should be doing. [[User:Macdonald-ross|Macdonald-ross]] ([[User talk:Macdonald-ross|talk]]) 11:29, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
:Not sure if you are talking about [[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Women South Asia/2021]] but that isn't really a self announced project. It is a WMF wide initiative to expand articles on women in Asia for the month of September. Something all language wikis should be take part in. Though only editors that are interested of course. If you are just talking about random wikiprojects in userspace then yes, there is pretty much no purpose in creating those as they are never really used and mostly just end up being a place to do busy work. However, in saying that, they usually are in service to creating articles in a particular subject which is the goal of the wiki so as long as they aren't disruptive there is a reason we say to do it in userspace. -[[User:Djsasso|Djsasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 11:35, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
::I understand the concern here. So yeah, this is a foundation wide effort for the month. But then what? We can hope to take part and create some articles, but once the effort of the month is over, is there any difference between this and any other Wikiproject? There might need to be a line laid out. Clearly we should encourage the project as it is ongoing, I think the question is what are we left with. When does it become proper to move it to userspace? As soon as the month ends? Maybe we need to give this some time to breathe, let it run the time and hope for participation, and then decide how to move on. --[[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>]]
:::By "self-announced" I meant the ones on user sub-pages. We differ from En wiki in not having WikiProjects and all that entails. That is one reason we get users trying to set up similar structures on their sub-pages. [[User:Macdonald-ross|Macdonald-ross]] ([[User talk:Macdonald-ross|talk]]) 14:37, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

== Temporary protection request ==

Can you temporarily protect the articles [[Flag]], [[Tricolour]], [[Doner kebab]], [[Yogurt]], [[Country]], [[Baklava]], [[Republic of Artsakh]], [[Shambali]] and [[Dolma]] because the IPs [[212.108.146.62]] and [[185.135.96.2]] are constantly POV pushing?

I suspect that 212.108.146.62 and 185.135.96.2 are the same person, because the POV pushing is in the same pattern in the same and related articles. The IP has a history of POV pushing and edit warring with other IP users and also administrators/rollbackers. Please check the log and POV edits of this user, and temporarily protect the articles this IP has POV edited on.

The articles [[Flag]], [[Tricolour]] and [[Dolma]] were temporarily protected until August 7, but has been vandalized again by the same IP. Can you temporarily protect all these articles again?

This IP starts erasing sourced information, POV pushing and edit warring again, once the temporary protections end.

This is the third time I put a protection request, but no action is being taken.

== Doesn't understand what is good faith ==

{{archive top}}
In good faith, I was trying to suggest [[User:SHB2000]] not to say harsh words and hate speech on others, no matter how they did wrong. But he's not going to understand what I am trying to say. I did some more time only if he rectifies, but that's of no help. First, he said [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/7779666 this] after which I try to stop him. After some conversation, he finally said [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/7782626 that he is not wrong and he will stand for what he had said]. He has '''good self confidence''' of his actions. '''Dear Admins! Please try to stop him from giving such hate speech, either by good counseling or what is required according to wikipedia policies and guidelines!''' Regards!

{{od}} Hello everyone. The diff that Haoreima showed does not show incivility towards the editor mentioned, in my opinion. This editor ([[:w:WP:LTA/GRP]]) is indeed one who has been harassing Wikipedians for many years, and has been editing despite his more recent WMF ban. However, it is probably best not to talk about him so much onwiki; [[:w:WP:BRI|blocking, reverting and ignoring]] (in that order) is always the best strategy with this editor. If there are no admins, [[:w:WP:IBRL|ignore but revert later]]. Reverting many times increases the visiblility of the vandalism. And, talking about him is not the best idea, because that's not ignoring. So whilst I don't think the diff that Haoreima shows is incivility, can we please try and talk about GRP less? Thanks. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] <small>([[User talk:Ferien|talk]])</small> 16:05, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
