Remembrance
[edit]Hey buddy! It's nice to be remembered. I'm glad to see you're still around and making contributions. All the best. KnowledgeOfSelf (talk) 08:17, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
I think we're biting this newbie pretty hard. As he said on his talk page, there's no message to tell him exactly WHAT was tripping the filter. He may not understand "reliable sourcing" and "original research", but he wasn't overtly vandalizing. Joyous! Noise! 16:16, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- They appear to have started responding on their talk page after my warnings; I've otherwise been uninvolved with "we" (and no block was issued). That's basically the entire point of warnings (especially starting with level-1 warnings and giving multiple): starting that conversation going if there's genuine confusion. Feel free to leave them a welcome message (e.g.,
{{welcome}}
) and help them out. Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 16:47, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
Page protection increase for a group of articles
[edit]Hi Slakr, I noticed that you're an admin that deals with page protection increase requests. I was wondering if it's possible to submit a request for extended confirmed protection on group of articles related to 1 particular musician? The articles I want protection for have been subject to persistent vandalism from socks of an indefinitely banned vandal. I could submit individual request for each article but the justification would be the same. Isjadd773 (talk) 16:20, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Isjadd773: Yes; you can do that at WP:RFPP. If you have one really clear example (i.e., the most vandalized / most obvious) and the rest are uncontroversial, you could open one for that one and then just immediately edit it to add more:
*
{{pagelinks|Article Name 2}}
*{{pagelinks|Article Name 3}}
...etc...- If it's a more complex sort of situation that spans dozens/hundreds of pages, may require blocks in conjunction, or needs a lot of parsing to understand what's going on, consider creating a thread on WP:ANI instead.
- Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 17:03, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Perfect. I appreciate your help. I'll submit a request in due time. Best. Isjadd773 (talk) 20:11, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
