Addz7777

[edit]

Wondering if you would be willing to have another look at this SPI. You stated there was not enough evidence to justify a check. Not only name styling similar, but Addz7777 just did the same behavior as documented in the SPI. I can wait to refile when they do it a few more times but hoping you would be willing to have another look. Thanks. CNMall41 (talk) 17:50, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41 you should file it, let me know, and I'll endorse it. I don't have time at the moment to do a complete investigation but there is enough to warrant a real look at this point. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:46, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Looking closer this looks like more of a farm for Star Networks so lumping a few more accounts in and filing now. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:32, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Filed. There are probably more accounts and I can dig up more differences if you feel necessary, but I think the ones I listed should turn up quite a few (as well as sleepers possibly?). --CNMall41 (talk) 21:36, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

10K edits?

[edit]

BK, I'm unfamiliar with this...AE, with (I assume?) a rough consensus, can declare an article requires only editors with at least X edits? Can you point me at that? Valereee (talk) 20:16, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) From WP:CTOP: "A rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard ("AE") may impose any restriction from the standard set and any other reasonable measures that are necessary and proportionate for the smooth running of the project." Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:29, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes. I was thinking there'd be many who felt 10K wasn't reasonable/proportionate, but maybe I'm wrong. Valereee (talk) 20:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose those hypothetical "many" would then have to head to WP:ARCA. -- asilvering (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's a reasonable objection. I think it'd depend on the situation, and in most case a lower number would be more reasonable. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah basically as long as a rough consensus of administrators is convinced that 10k is appropriate for specific articles (only arbcom could do it in a topic area) then there's nothing stopping them. Practially speaking 10k might not be obtainable as the right place to start such a restriction but I would guess there is a number that could get consensus at AE for some reports in certain topic areas.

Request

[edit]

Could you please delete this revision because it includes a mobile number. Thanks. --Karim talk to me :)..! 18:07, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) All set. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:09, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@كريم رائد for the future, it would be best if you followed the procedures outlined at WP:RFOS to avoid drawing attention to the information that should be suppressed. Barkeep and other Oversighters have numerous people who watch their talk pages for recent edits, and they may look at the oversightable information before an OS can expunge it. So asking for suppression should be done as quietly as possible via email or IRC. Just wanted to let you know for the future. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:41, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation backlog drive

[edit]

Hello Barkeep49:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Content Translation: A decade of consistent improvements to the Content Translation tool yields over two million Wikipedia articles.
  • Charts Extension: After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment. Please consult our page to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki.
  • Abstract Wikipedia: Where Abstract Wikipedia fits into the new Wikimedia AI strategy.
  • Tech News: The “Get shortened URL” link on the sidebar now includes a QR code. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently. More updates from Tech News week 19 and 20.
  • Topical Lists: Read about the important role of topical lists in supporting campaigns and editing, as well as strategies for the future development, implementation, and sustainment of list-building support.
  • Two-factor Authentication: From May 20, 2025, oversighters and checkusers will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. Read the announcement.
  • Mobile Apps: The iOS app team is experimenting with an "Activity Tab" on Turkish, Spanish, French, and Chinese Wikipedias to see if inviting new editors to add images through Suggested Edits increases engagement. This insight will guide future improvements to the app experience.

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)

[edit]
Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project) because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.

(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content. Thank you in advance! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk) 15:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
