Harassment or not...?

Hello, I'm just wondering if comments made on my talk page at "Do not add any unresonable comment to my talk page again" can be considered as a PA since they were making fun of my enwiki block and mistakes I have made in the past. I'm not offended but I'm not sure if it's allowed or not. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:36, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like he's probably mad at you. DingoTalk 15:47, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I do see issues with writing that message on. Probably personal attack. SHB2000 (talk) 22:33, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was about 2:00am for me when I was editing because I was bored. It is clearly a PA and I don't know why I created this thread. This is as close to "sleep-editing" as you can get! Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:29, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see I'm not the only one editing up at night ;-) Was up til 00:30 on Commons yesterday. SHB2000 (talk) 11:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Third... I edit 13 hours a day... at night too... 💠Ely - Talk💠 11:38, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
13? Dang, but that's a lot. The max I've done one day was 6 although that wasn't on this wiki (with 20% of that 6 hours reverting GRP ;)). SHB2000 (talk) 11:42, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm at it again, its 00:47 for me right now, and I am fully aware of what I am doing! Hockeycatcat (talk) 14:47, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For once, I unusually wasn't editing past 00:00 yesterday :-) SHB2000 (talk) 03:39, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wow I looked at your talk page and it looks like you are getting a lot of harassment. I hope you are okay. I see you on the RfDs a bit. You seem pleasant to me. Blissyu2 (talk) 12:45, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Although the amount of vandalism that global sysops get is much worse though. If any kind of vandalism is hard to revert, it's hiding vandalism on flow talk pages like this on my fr.voy talk page SHB2000 (talk) 13:01, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Elytrian and SHB2000: What? 13! Then, we need to create a new type of barnstar called "The Nocturnal Barnstar". If that's done so, then there will be many editors here, who really deserve it. :) :-) Haoreima (talk) 05:14, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am just gonna close this discussion since the case is resolved. The discussion about barnstar and "Nunquam Dormio" can be done in WP:ST. Thanks-BRP ever 05:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel

Hello, sorry to be a pain, but could somebody please revdel [1] this? Thanks, Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:44, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I think you should probably use e-mail or Direct Messages through Discord for revdel'ing. Etoza (?) 16:34, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done. This was just generally disruptive material, so I think the request was fine to be posted here. However, for items that are sensitive or would require oversight, correct, you should not ever post a request on-wiki.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 00:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temp protection

Can Deaths in 2021 be temporarily protected? IPs have been falsely adding living people to the list. Etoza (?) 16:32, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to protect at this time. The level of vandalism isn't out of control at the moment. Thanks. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 00:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PP for my talk page

What the title said... way too much vandalism, and no constructive IP's have contacted me. 💠Ely - Talk💠 14:16, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. I'm sorry to see that you too are getting nasty talk page messages. I am not thankfully. 58.179.159.63 (talk) 03:58, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
mine too. I'm not a very active user here and no constructive anon messages for me as well. Either just vandalism by numerous LTAs, or Samlaptop. SHB2000 (talk) 13:37, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We could possibly do a short one if it was bad on a given day, but generally talk pages aren't protected permanently. -Djsasso (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are some cases where talk pages are indef protected, although it's very rare, and I've never seen it on simplewiki. (good examples are Antandrus' and my enwiki talk pages) SHB2000 (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block needed

User continuing to try and follow me around everywhere/harrass me- 205.213.208.101 and Mjforresst. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zjholder/Archive for more info. User also previously here under account Zoom29912. Magitroopa (talk) 23:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Protection on my talk page would also be greatly appreciated to end this. Magitroopa (talk) 23:56, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Account has been blocked. I can come back around and get the IP as well if anything else picks up from there, but it looks like they've stopped for the time being. We usually don't protect talk page, however if it gets really worse we can do a short term protection as needed.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 00:06, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User of concern

I don't want to outright say this, but the user 13switch is blocked on enwiki as being a sock of the Android LTA. Technically, they're also blocked here as well for impersonating Darubrub (now renamed), they've actually been doing a lot of anti-vandal work here. Just notifying all admins here. SHB2000 (talk) 12:49, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Protection for Template:QD-notice

Can someone please protect or semi-protect Template:QD-notice? It's used often by Twinkle and causes problems when vandalized. J991 18:37, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected, thanks for requesting. --Ferien (talk) 18:38, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can't I create a page recently deleted by Rfd

Hello, i am @October2022 (talk) 19:21, 2 October 2021 (UTC). I created Dc Themmie recently on the wikipedia. It was recently deleted by admins when other users created it because it was not notable. But me I have reliable sources which I found. But when I created it today an admin deleted it, why if an article is deleted before, can't it be recreated with the same content or similar with different reference. I don't really like what admins do to stub article, wikipedia is a free encyclopedia for everyone and have already decleared Dc Themmie as conflict of interest on my userpage. But now it was protected for only admin to create. It is not fair. CheersOctober2022 (talk) 19:21, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So what reliable sources did you find? Etoza (?) 19:39, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article you created didn't have anything that wasn't in the previous versions of the page, so it was similar to them. The new article said only that the person is Nigerian and that he is a singer, comedian, and blogger; none of those things makes a person notable. If you don't say why a person is notable, it doesn't matter what sources you have. Reliable sources are needed, but they have to be used to support statements that show notability. -- Auntof6 (talk) 20:04, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that October2022 is Gimmelover evading their global lock. SHB2000 (talk) 23:25, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000: Then you might want to request checkuser services. It doesn't do any good to say here that you have a feeling about something. Auntof6 (talk) 23:38, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
per WP:DUCK, this is an obvious case. SHB2000 (talk) 23:38, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000: Still not helpful to say you have a feeling without asking to have something done about it. Auntof6 (talk) 23:43, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request semi-protection of Murder

Hi! Wikidata/ENWP admin here. A wide range of IPs have been trying to insert information about "The Assassination of Joseph Stalin" in unrelated places across multiple projects. For some reason, your Murder article is a target, and I am therefore requesting semi-protection. They are also inserting links to diffs on this article (e.g. d:Special:Diff/1507236657), so please also consider whether revision deletion would be appropriate. Bovlb (talk) 15:52, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Bovlb, I don't think protection is necessary at this time but the page is definitely something to keep an eye on. --Ferien (talk) 15:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An IP keeps redirecting place names and then moves them to a page with the English and native name

There's an IP that has been regularly moving place names to the place name in English and their native name under numerous IPs, which include Moscow and Chernobyl, but also some others too. Given them a lev 4 MoS warning as I think this is their third IP address that has been doing this. Asking an admin to take care of this as this is too complex for VIP. Not only is this disruptive, but they also don't give attribution. SHB2000 (talk) 05:43, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SHB2000:. I just noted this one and I think it might be helpful for you to mention the IPs and/or some of the examples of the articles that are being moved so that admins have some idea what you are talking about. Blissyu2 (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can't remember on the top of my head. SHB2000 (talk) 11:46, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am stepping back from Wikipedia and resigning as an admin here. Please remove my perms. Thank you. Hiàn (talk) 01:07, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I'm meant to be commenting here, but thanks for all your service as a sysop. Wishing you all the best for your future. SHB2000 (talk) 01:18, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Very sad to see this @Hiàn. Hope you stay safe IRL and we always welcome you back as a sysop. Thanks for all you had put into. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:23, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for all you've done here. :) --Ferien (talk) 13:53, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Hiân, thank you for all the things you did for this wiki as an admin. I have removed your admin flag. Even if you are no longer an admin, you are still a trusted member of this community. Have fun, and I still hope to see you edit SEWP now and then. --Eptalon (talk) 15:25, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you everyone for your kind words, and your trust and support over the past few years. I'm very grateful. Hiàn (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

need Uploader Right to upload an Image to Yoasobi 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 11:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sakura emad Images go onto Wikimedia Commons, not here. The only time where images get uploaded here is where Commons can't host it (such could be FoP issues, as Commons needs the image to be free in its host country + the US or fair use logos) SHB2000 (talk) 11:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
😊 i think you misunderstood i am here because i can't upload that image to Commons. @SHB2000 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 11:47, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
non-free content under Fair use. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 11:48, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can you describe what kind of image it is. SHB2000 (talk) 11:49, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On simple we don't have Non-free fair use images. We only have uploader group for audio files and some very selected images (like special logos). All images needs to be commons compliant. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:50, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage in this case what should do with Yoasobi 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 11:55, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sakura emad The image you use must be able to be uploaded to commons, if not the image cannot be used. What can be done is to put a link of the image in the page using Template:External media. I hope this helps. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:58, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage We do upload images locally due to FoP reasons, but from my experience, simplewiki hasn't cared too much about it. SHB2000 (talk) 12:01, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000 Actually we do care per Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions#Uploader. Here we don't do local images upload for those who fails FoP. This is also where we are special in some sense. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I do truly wonder why though. Surely it helps readers. And when I meant simplewiki hasn't cared too much about it, I meant that simplewiki hasn't cared too much FoP issues. SHB2000 (talk) 12:31, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree but I think we are too small to handle Non free fair use and the policing. From my experience at zh, dealing with FFD isn't easy and it can cause a lot of dramas. It do will help readers I admit. Sorry for misunderstanding your POV. @SHB2000 Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:34, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah no worries. I for some reason, happen to write in a very unclear manner after 22:00 for some reason (when I wrote that message, it was 23:01 AEDT) SHB2000 (talk) 12:48, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage this is not helpful as i am planning to put the image on The Article's Infobox 😢 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 12:16, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sakura emad I guess can't be helped then, but are you sure commons doesn't allow? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage Yes since it's non-free content 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 12:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sakura emad Then really can't be helped, :( Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Not done We upload only certain kinds of things here, and the one you want doesn't appear to be something we'd host here. @SHB2000 and Camouflaged Mirage: It would be very helpful if you kept conversation to a minimum on this page. Requests here are not votes or discussions. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So Auntof6, so when Camouflaged Mirage and myself were helping a user, it's considered "disruptive"? (based on the tone of your comments) SHB2000 (talk) 23:03, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I said keep it to a minimum, not stop it altogether. This page is for making requests of administrators, and getting the admins' response. A certain amount of non-admin comments is okay, but this got a little long with little benefit. When it gets this long, it makes it harder for the admins to see whether another admin has already replied. When the comments go off-topic, like these did (talking about Commons policies, as opposed to the original topic of getting the uploader permission), it's best to take them to user talk pages. -- Auntof6 (talk) 10:39, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6 Noted. Will take note of this next time, Regards, Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:21, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of Obadare Peter Adewale

Can someone protect the page Obadare Peter Adewale from creation since it has been recreated multiple times as a page about a non-notable person? Thanks. SkeletalDome$ (talk) 19:27, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page protection for talk page

I am requesting semi-protection for my talk page for two weeks, or whatever is the equivalent so IP users cannot edit my talk page. I am being stalked and targeted by an IP user who is engaging in cross-wiki harassment against me.
