Warning

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bachana Arabuli. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:19, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

You're shooting yourself in the foot here. My edit was nothing like vandalism, but an attempt to bring the discussion to rationality. If you send me another such invalid warning then you are the one who is likely to be blocked. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:28, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

It seems I owe an apology. The warning above was not intended to be for vandalism. It seems I did not correctly select the warning I had intended to give in an automation tool that I use, which meant that it defaulted to first option in the list, namely the warning for vandalism. Sorry about that. That being said, a warning is in order. If you continue to construe a well established consensus as groupthink and the routine application thereof as wikilawyering, make disparaging remarks about other editors, and more generally fail to assume good faith on the part of editors who disagree with you, there are going to be consequences. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:20, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

I have removed the warnings as they were deemed to be inappropriate and should not be issued in the first place at ANI. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 00:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martin Yarmush

Please see my closing rationale. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 15:23, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

• That seems to be the best way to deal with this for the moment. If Professor Yarmush gets back to me saying he wants the article deleted I'll suggest that he contact OTRS, so that the next deletion disussion can be based on firm evidence. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:57, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Hilton Cowie

Thank you for your work in removing inappropriate CSD tagging. In most cases I agree with you, but in the case of Hilton Cowie I see no indication of significance: He is a race car driver, which surely does not in itself indicate significance. He took part in some races but did not qualify. And he has a profile in a database which seems to profile all drivers. Where is the significance? —teb728 t c 22:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

The subject may well not be notable, which is something that can be decided at WP:AFD if you want to take it there, but I consider that competing in Formula 3 and in qualifying rounds for international Formula 3000 races to be enough to avoid speedy deletion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 08:08, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Deletion review

We discussed deletion reviews being started by IP editors recently, near the top of this page. I think that in most cases, as an IP editor, you would have standing to begin a deletion review, but in this particular case you're (1) starting a deletion review, (2) as an IP editor, (3) about a WMF figure. I would suggest you use an account with a checkable history.—S Marshall T/C 20:04, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

That's ridiculous, and that discussion most certainly does not mandate closing down all deletion reviews started by unregistered editors. I most certainly am not Mohsinpathania (which you are welcome to have checked with CheckUser), and gave a perfectly rational explanation for why this should be reviewed. All of my edits since last December, when my ISP last changed my IP address, are available in my contribution history, and those for some time prior to that can be seen here and here, which, again you are welcome to have checked out with CheckUser. I did have an account several years ago, but decided to stop using it, which is completely compliant with policy, partly because I was concerned with the way that unregistered editors were treated like something nasty sticking to your shoe, and I wanted no part of that. I can email you my previous account name if you want. I thought that Wikipedia was supposed to be concerned with content rather than process, and this deletion review is about content, as opposed to the name-calling that contstituted the AfD discussion. Please reopen the deletion review. If you refuse to do so then I suppose that I will have to take this to WP:ANI, but please let's avoid further drama over an article about a clearly unnotable subject. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:43, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

• It's pretty unusual to abandon an account. I won't ask you to disclose your former identity on Wikipedia, but will you tell me that the account was a well-regarded one in good standing and your reason for abandoning it had nothing to do with avoiding scrutiny?—S Marshall T/C 21:11, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

@S Marshall: While I disagree with '157's deletion review request, I question your rationale for closing it. With 237 edits this year, '157 (contribs • xtools • AFD stats) has a fairly sizable and continuous history for an anon. While I find her focus on back-office practices unnerving, her participation appears to me to be in good faith and without any observable agenda. (Although it could be WP:HAND, her history differs significantly from those of the obvious sockpuppets in the AfD—Mohsinpathania and Luridaxiom.) It seems to me you ought to take the advice given at Wikipedia talk:Deletion review § Are unregistered users entitled to bring deletion reviews? and undo your close. However, if you choose to leave it, you should probably remove the {{delrev}} tag from Florence Devouard.  Rebbing  21:18, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

• Yup. I was probably wrong and I'm probably going to reopen it, just waiting for a reply to my question.—S Marshall T/C 21:23, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

• Yes, I think it was well-regarded, but that is really for others to say, and it was in good standing if you mean by that that I was never blocked or banned or anything like that, and I have not tried to avoid scrutiny. Actually I have noticed that one of the previous IP addresses that I linked has a link in its history to my previous account, so if anyone is really bothered then it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to find out the name that I used to use here, which also happens to be my name in real life. Please be a little less trigger-happy in the future, because that only reinforces the impression that unregistered editors are treated like "something nasty sticking to your shoe", or a "piece of shit" as I would have said before if I had noticed that you are a fellow Hertfordshire man rather than one of those prissy Americans. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:33, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

• I'm sorry for closing this, and I've reopened it. My excuse is that you're an IP address starting a deletion review of a clearly sock-tainted discussion about a WMF employee; but I should not have jumped to the conclusion that I did.—S Marshall T/C 21:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Your comments to SwisterTwister

Just a tip: You're wasting your breath. He won't listen to criticism, even when it's clear, polite, and sustained; he dismisses it as drama and incivility. He's been getting clear pushback over his sloppiness since at least his failed RfA, yet he hasn't learned a thing from it. He's here to click buttons and provide "me, too!" comments. (We've both seen him at AfD.) Even after being taken to the cleaners at AN/I last week, he's still patrolling badly, leaving barely-intelligible AfD votes, and being very unhelpful to novice editors who ask for feedback about his AfC rejections. I previously thought this was mere stubbornness on his part, but I actually think he can't help it. I'm not sure if he's struggling with reading comprehension or a learning deficiency, but it's the only thing that explains his behavior—and I'm not pointing it out to be cruel, quite the opposite: I feel bad watching him struggle, and I actually like him and admire his dedication. But I think the community needs to address this: it's not going to go away no matter how much he's warned, and, unlike sloppy editing, others can't just make it right with an edit.

Also, in dealing with this sort of thing, it would help immensely if you logged in. In every discussion in which I see you participate, your views are only acknowledged to dismiss them—yet you are far more experienced than I am. We both know the Florence Devouard AfD and DRV would have turned out much differently if your opinion had been tied to a respectable account. I understand the point you're trying to make, but, by my count, you're not making any headway. How many debates are you willing to sacrifice for a hopelessly lost cause?

Respectfully,  Rebbing  20:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. I won't be posting on SwisterTwister's talk page again, because he has made it plain (as far as his twisted syntax makes anything plain) that he doesn't want me to in this edit summary, but I certainly will continue to question his AfD contributions when necessary, even though he never seems to return to discussions to, well, discuss. I know that you mean well in your later advice, but I made the decision several years ago that I would not try to "pull rank" in any discussions by being part of the heirarchy that treats admins as more important than logged-in editors and logged-in editors as more important that non-logged-in editors. Decisions should be made on the basis of the validity of the arguments made, not on the reputation of the person making the arguments. Please don't try to change my mind on that issue because you would be, in your words, wasting your breath. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:21, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I was sad to see him dismiss you as trying to create "heated drama"; your comment was obviously meant as helpful guidance and should have been enough to make any editor question his actions.

I'll try not to waste my breath, but I must point out that you may be misconstruing my argument. It doesn't seem to me that most editors perceive the sophisticated hierarchy you describe—rather, it's about individuals who are committed to the project and are willing to stake their reputations in their comments versus drive-bys whose judgments are often motivated by factors other than the success of the project. It's not about rank; it's about sincerity.

Even though we aim to make choices based on the merits of arguments, for any given question, there is usually a range of legitimate, policy-backed arguments that can be advanced. Between facially valid arguments, support numbers matter more than the relative strength of the positions, and our guidelines explicitly instruct that only responsible editors' votes are to be counted. See WP:CLOSE § Consensus ("If the discussion shows that some people think one policy is controlling, and some another, the closer is expected to close by judging which view has the predominant number of responsible Wikipedians supporting it, not personally select which is the better policy." (emphasis added)). As with any vote, it would be irresponsible and unfair not to exclude ballots that are cast by participants without an established history.

This clarification made, I won't be bothering you about this further; clearly, if the consequences of your choice aren't enough to dissuade you from it, nothing I could say would change your mind. Cheers, mate.  Rebbing  23:26, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

My perception is that IP notices are a way of saying, "You're not as sneaky as you think!" Except for {{educational IP}}, I'm not a fan of them even for misbehaving editors: most mischief-makers are dissuaded, perhaps even reformed, by a polite but firm message saying, Hey, I noticed what you did; please don't do it.

Isabel Allende Karam

The article has been tagged for lack of notability since 2010. The tagging has not been contested. No counter argument has been initiated since the tagging. No discussion was started! There comes a time that we have to clean up an article or do away with it, as the case might be. Six years is arguable an adequate period of time. If, even at this last hour, you object to the deletion proposal because you believe the subject of the article is sufficiently notable please argue against the deletion in the appropriate forum. Thanks. -The Gnome (talk) 13:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

It is up to the person who wishes to delete an article to start a discussion at WP:AFD. I can't comment in the appropriate forum until you create the appropriate forum. Your reinstatement of the WP:PROD tag, which calls for deletion without discussion, is clearly against policy. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:20, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

See link. The rule followed was precisely the one defining the proposed-deletion process : PROD "is a way to suggest an article for uncontroversial deletion. It is an easier method of removing articles than the articles for deletion process (AfD), and is meant for uncomplicated deletion proposals that do not meet the strict criteria for speedy deletion." I do no intend to get involved in yet another senseless, tiresome argument about the worthiness of BLP articles tagged for six and seven years. There is a process for the obvious; you want the lengthy process. Have it your way.-The Gnome (talk) 15:05, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

And part of the WP:PROD process is that anyone who objects to the decision can contest deletion by removing the tag with or without explanation, but I always choose to give an explanation, and then it can't be reinstated. You are the one who did not follow the process, and you know it, so please don't come here to defend the indefensible. I see that you have now followed the correct process by starting a discussion that can lead to consensus, which is the way things are decided here rather than by one editor's possibly flawed judgement. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:23, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

The Gnome, it is never too late to fix an article. There is no deadline -- WP was explicitly designed to be an ongoing project that will never be finished. DGG ( talk ) 03:52, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Articles that are judged not to merit being listed in Wikipedia due their subject's lack of notability are not part of an "ongoing project" but deleted forthwith. The subject of the specific article was judged to be notable, per Wiki standards, so it stays up. I do not know that project you are referring to by "WP".

Talk page etiquette

Hi 86.17.222.157,

We're involved in the deletion discussion of JonTron at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JonTron (5th nomination). I noticed you're changing Wiki mark-up on other people's comments. Per WP:TPO, that is discouraged to do so. You're adding another asterisk (this little thing: *) on comments that aren't yours. I personally think that an asterisk should be used for a !vote, so it's easier to pickout votes and/or comments. Please don't take this the wrong way, as I don't think you're doing it intentionally, let alone to harm the discussion. Thanks, and happy editing. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 17:24, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

P.S.

On a sidenote, why don't you create an account? An account isn't bound to a single IP address, and it allows for personal customization. Editing from an account is also anonymous in the sense that nobody can automatically know your real identity (unless you dedice to share that information of course). soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 17:24, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I checked WP:TPO before making those edits, in particular the paragraph Fixing format errors. It cites "providing wikilinks if it helps in better navigation", and this one certainly did help in better navigation, and, while it says nothing about adding bullet points, it does say that removing them is allowed, and, in nearly all cases, deletion discussions are formatted with bullet points before each comment. If you want to change that practice then surely it would be better to suggest this in the appropriate place rather than format your posts differently from everyone else's.

As regards editing without logging in, I've said everything that I have to say in conversations higher up this page. I see that I have been a little brusque here, but that's because I have to rush off to cook dinner, rather than anything deliberate. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:39, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

A wikilink is an internal Wikipedia link, that links to articles. JonTron isn't a wikilink, but by adding [[ in front and ]] at the end it become one. So [[JonTron]] will show up as JonTron. And considering that you're the one changing my comments, I again point to WP:TPO that starts off with: "The basic rule—with some specific exceptions outlined below—is that you should not edit or delete the comments of other editors without their permission." Enjoy your meal. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 17:59, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. I changed "Anita Sarkeesian" to "Anita Sarkeesian" in another user's comment, which is to add a wikilink as allowed by WP:TPO. I also changed the format, not the content, of your comment to conform to standard practice at AfD. Since you object so strongly to this I won't do it again, but it is pretty standard practice for editors to make such formatting changes to conform to the normal practice at AfDs - it has been done to me many times - and I don't see any reason for you to make such a meal of it. Once again, AFDs are nearly always formatted with each comment having a bullet point, so it's easier for anyone reading the discussion to see where one comment ends, which in the case of many inexperienced editors may not be with a signature, and the next begins. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:49, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

And I just noticed that you reverted an edit to this talk page that I had chosen not to delete. Please don't lecture me about talk page etiquette when you don't follow it yourself. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:21, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JonTron (5th nomination), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Describing other editors as having a "clearly misogynistic agenda" is blatantly unacceptable.

Re:AfD on Philipp Frankhauser

Hope you don't mind that I'm moving the rest of our conversation to your talkpage, but the length of text on the AfD about the AfD was growing a bit unwieldy in comparison to what was being said about the article's subject and his (admittedly obvious) notability. True on the part about life being boring otherwise. Agree that the article is miles away from being a deletion candidate, but the amount of coverage alone isn't necessarily an indication when one can't speak the language to check how many of them also are reliable and independent. (I've seen some subjects with absolutely massive amounts of coverage that all boil down to little more than the same few press-releases re-repeated across venues, yet that on numerical value alone look impressive. Highly so, even.) In either case, the article was in such a messy state that I can well understand how someone could list it at AfD—the great majority of similar articles with similar starts and similar states after the promo-speak is removed are indeed definitely *not* notable, and at least on AfD, the idea that this subject lacks notability can be easily and clearly disproven (and if necessary, later linked to). I can understand your stance, though. If the article hadn't had such a messy start, I would have been rather confused at what it was doing at AfD. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 22:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey just a note that I had to revert part of your edits to the discussion. (look at these diffs: [2] [3]).

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on Anigouran. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. This is what I got. Marvellous Spider-Man 01:51, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

I said that your edit was clearly factually incorrect, and it was. That is a statement of fact, rather than anything about what kind of faith you have, because you said that the subject lacks mention in reliable sources. You didn't even need to do a Google Books search (which, incidentally also shows that your statement was factually incorrect) because the article was already sourced. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 07:57, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

You are right. I meant WP:NOTE, not WP:NOT. Will update notices accordingly. Coderzombie (talk) 20:07, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Deprodding of The Klingon Way

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from The Klingon Way, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! noychoH (talk) 22:06, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Please take a glance at Carlos Avery, which you opined about at Articles for Deletion. I've sourced out and rewritten from the ground up. Thanks. —tim /// Carrite (talk) 22:32, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Aru@baska^{❯❯❯ Vanguard} 05:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

ARUNEEK, I presume you are talking about my removal of the WP:PROD template from Zachary Braiterman. If so then please read WP:PROD, where you will see that anyone can contest deletion by removing the tag. If you want to discuss deletion then the procedure to use is described at WP:AFD.

• I'm only posting this here to avoid bloating a long AfD page worse than it already is. I think you should try to read WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ROUTINE more carefully. Not a single routine crime log has been cited at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 Mukilteo shooting (2nd nomination). One of the ways that we know this is not a run-of-the mill crime is that the crime caused multiple non-routine events which occurred at later dates. I don't need to list them; see the citations. And you actually misread my comments; I didn't confuse you with the nominator. I posted that both the nominator, and those offering opinions (that's you), have a burden to make an effort before participating in an AfD discussion. So here we are, filling space correcting simple misconceptions based on reading comprehension failures. Huge time waster. If it were true that you can't establish notability citing only news media, then the notability guidelines would say in plain English, "you can't establish notability citing only news media". It's not that simple.

  You feel all this is patronizing and condescending, and therefore uncivil. I actually think it's patronizing to ask "Could you point to some of that ongoing coverage?" when the AfD provides a convenient link to Google News where the ongoing coverage is right there. Nobody likes being told they're wrong, and that leads to feelings of incivility. But sometimes there's just no way to deliver the message without someone's feathers getting ruffled. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:21, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Oluwa2Chainz, I did assume good faith the first time that you deleted my searches for an alternative name, but it is difficult to maintain that assumption when you deleted them a second time. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 13:03, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Bilal Akbar

Whatever your personal thoughts about the deletion policy and the way it is implemented, it is abundantly clear that all unssourced biographies of living people MUST be tagged for deletion. Please remember, again, to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do in the article summary at Bilal Akbar. Incidentally, this article remains at risk of deletion since the single reference provided does not demonstrate notability. Senior officers in the armed forces are not inherently notable and notability must be demonstrated through reputable, independedent sources.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   01:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

No, it is not true that they MUST be tagged for deletion. The obvious alternative is to spend a few seconds looking for a source. My edit summary didn't say anything about your good faith, but about my lack of understanding of your mindset, and I still don't understand why anyone who is interested enough in building an encyclopedia to be here would choose to tag this article for deletion before taking those few seconds. And do you really believe that the chief of staff of the Pakistani army might not be notable? If so then please take the article to WP:AFD where you will find out whether others agree with you. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 09:11, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Erroneous warning removed. RSTech1 (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

• RSTech1, how on Earth could that be contrued as vandalism? I simply followed the standard procedure for contesting a WP:PROD template. It is your reinstatement of the template that is against policy. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:55, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

My apologies. That was not intentional. I'm removing the warning from your talk page. RSTech1 (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Whisperback

Hello. You have a new message at Kudpung's talk page. 21:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

There are extremely good reasons why I (and possibly many others) accord less weight to he comments of aninymous users. I have noticed on several occasions that you throw your weight around a lot on Wikipedia, in fact less than 30%of your edits are spent adding content. WADR, if you want to act like a forum moderator, I suggest you register an account, edit for a few years, then run at RfA. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:51, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
