Fish

The vandalism on this article has immediately restarted with the removal of page protection. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:27, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. I see that Daniel Case has now re-protected the article. Sdrqaz (talk) 14:35, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Grok (chatbot)

Hi! May I suggest that you block 2409:4000::/24 not only from Talk:Grok (chatbot) but also from Grok (chatbot) and Talk:Origin of the Rashtrakuta Empire since the range has been vandalising thos pages. Sjö (talk) 12:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Sure, done! Sdrqaz (talk) 12:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

White Lotus

Hey could you protect White Lotus as well? The same IP vandalism is happening there and the RPP page is backlogged Snokalok (talk) 16:50, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm a little more reluctant to protect because there's been two IPs at The White Lotus compared to HBO's three. I've left a warning. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:47, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Now protected, after they went to a different IP address. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:00, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

How would I create a user page?

I've wanted to for a long time, can I have some assistance? RadiologyRadioactiveRaider (talk) 22:33, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

@RadiologyRadioactiveRaider: Sure! There are some guidelines at WP:UPYES. Different people have vastly different approaches to user pages, so it depends on what you want to put on them (some people like to put their interests, some like to add photos etc). Quite a lot of people like to add userboxes to their user page; you can see Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries for a variety. I didn't have a user page for years, so it's okay to not have one too!

Thanks for tagging me in the edit summary

Thanks for cleaning up my mess with Double Loop and letting know about possibility of compatible licenses o.0, I have just started doing CopyVio work so I didn't even think about that. Cheers, have a good weekend. Moritoriko (talk) 04:40, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome. Many of these non-Wikimedia wikis are compatible with Wikipedia, so it's always good to double check when tagging pages under G12 (usually websites have license information at the bottom). Hope that you have a good weekend too! Sdrqaz (talk) 04:56, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Note: Conversation was following the declination of a G12 CSD nomination of Double Loop.

Revdel question

Hi Sdrqaz, hope you are well! I found your username on the category of admins willing to handle revdel requests - I wanted to ask about this diff. Tbh I've rarely encountered this type of editing so I'm not sure if it really meets the threshold for revdel, but just wanted to err on the side of caution and check with someone. Thanks, Zzz plant (talk) 01:07, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Zzz plant, hope that you are well too. I've deleted it as a BLP violation: even though Weston is dead, the supposed perpetrator might not be, and I would rather be more conservative with BLP matters (see also the first point at Wikipedia:Revision deletion § Notes on use). If you're generally unfamiliar with revdel, these examples might be helpful, though I think that with these things it is better to ask just in case. Hope that helps, Sdrqaz (talk) 01:35, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Diddy parties

Hi, thank you for your contributions. You may want to add the protection template back to Diddy parties; the article has been seeing vandalism already. 162 etc. (talk) 17:27, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for three more months and indefinite pending changes. Thanks for letting me know. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:41, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Reconsideration of User Page Deletion – G11 Tag

Hi Sdrqaz,

I hope you are doing well! I recently discovered that my user page was deleted under the G11 criterion (Unambiguous advertising or promotion). I would like to clarify that my intention was not to advertise or promote anything, but rather to test and build a simple user page for myself as I learn the community norms and contribute. If possible, I kindly request a chance to have the page restored temporarily or as a user draft so I may revise it accordingly. I am more than willing to rewrite the content to meet Wikipedia’s expectations. I would be grateful if you would help me!

Thanks

Philosophysubboy (talk) 09:46, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Philosophysubboy, please go to Pastebin to see the text of your user page (the link expires in two weeks, so please save it on your computer/phone etc). Regardless of your intentions, the text certainly seems very promotional: for example, serves as a beacon for brands seeking to craft compelling narratives that foster authentic connections is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Please substantially re-phrase most of the text that I linked before putting it on Wikipedia again. Best wishes, Sdrqaz (talk) 16:37, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

@Sdrqaz, I left a comment where I drafted a new text for the userpage. I think it's better than the previous one. Let me know if this works!

Thanks Philosophysubboy (talk) 18:12, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Philosophysubboy, that text looks great! Sdrqaz (talk) 19:33, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

@Sdrqaz, Can I add it to my user page or will you be doing that for me? Let me know what works!

Thanks Philosophysubboy (talk) 21:50, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Philosophysubboy, for the "Hi! I contribute to Wikipedia [...]" text, please add it yourself: you don't need my approval to do so . Sdrqaz (talk) 21:58, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
