Welcome Back Nakon

Welcome back to adminship. A quick way to catch up on what you missed would be to review WP:ADMINNEWS and the back issues. — xaosflux Talk 01:43, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

How to have an Auto patrol permission?

edit

Hi i was only new here in wiki , and recently i just editing articles with adding un referenced tags to the unsourced /cited statements so here's my question just want to ask what should needed to be grant an auto-patrol the pages i edit ? thank you? Palasulam-angtalk

Hello, the criteria for being granted the Autopatrolled user right is outlined at Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Nakon 03:28, 18 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks

edit

Thanks for fixing that error up over at RFPP. Turns out the bot archived stuff, meaning when I clicked edit on the section it took me to the wrong edit box. I gave 1 month to Peppadew, but I have no opinion on Šiprage. If you want to change it from 1 month PC, do it by all means. I never looked into that article's history, so I don't have an opinion. Anarchyte (work | talk) 04:27, 18 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

No worries, I've increased the protection to full until the dispute can be resolved. Thanks! Nakon 04:32, 18 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Disruptive editing

edit

Hi, Nakon. I was wondering if you could please look into this editor - 67.165.17.94 - due to their constant disruptive editing? They have been disruptively adding material either without citations or ones that do not support their claims, while constantly replacing their information whenever other editors remove it, without any explanation (other than claiming its correct) nor any attempt at any discussion. Here are two examples of the many pages they have been disruptively editing, The Left (Germany) and Alliance 90/The Greens. I would greatly appreciate if you could please look into this. Thank you for your time. Helper201 (talk) 23:13, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Howdy, I'd recommend reporting this user to the edit warring noticeboard so that it can be reviewed by a broader audience. Thanks, Nakon 19:09, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Fifth Harmony

edit

Hello, I see that you've protected the Fifth Harmony page. Since only autoconfirmed users can edit and you protected it, I came here to see about making an edit. I think it's appropriate to remove the second paragraph from Camilla Cabello's description in the members section. Since she has her own article and is no longer a member of the group, only information pertinent to her time with the actual group should now be mentioned. Not really sure if this is how the process works but let me know if I can remove it!

Howdy, I'd recommend requesting this edit on the article's talk page. Other editors more familiar with the article may be able to better help with this edit. Thanks, Nakon 19:10, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Block rationale

edit

Thanks for blocking HowToGetBanned2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Just wanted to mention the block rationale appears to be incorrect; it's showing "(Promotion / advertising-only account)" instead of a hard block or similar. Home Lander (talk) 00:14, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Advertising-only appears to be a valid reason for blocking this account. I don't expect the spambot to request an unblock. Thanks, Nakon 00:16, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

The Time (Bros album) page protection

edit

Hi, you recently protected the page The Time (Bros album), due to a supposed edit war. However, if you look at this page, you will see that the user adding the unsourced claim of 3 million sales worldwide for this album has a history of vandalising Bros-related pages, and one pattern in their vandalism is accusing those who revert their edits of being vandals themselves. They recently re-instated the 3 million sales figure claim to this article, before the page was locked, and now I am unable to revert this unsourced, and exaggerated sales claim. Can you please revert this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Time_%28Bros_album%29&type=revision&diff=798500540&oldid=798498914 yourself? It is an unverified claim.Nqr9 (talk) 08:45, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

My protection of the page is not an endorsement of the current version. I'd recommend discussing the change on the article's talk page. If there was vandalism on the page, please report it on the talk page so it can be removed. Thanks, Nakon 08:49, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand why the page has been locked so that only administrators can edit it. I requested page protection on it due to the return of the vandal with multiple accounts and IP addresses (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TomWatkins1970) after page protection recently lapsed. You will notice that several different IP addresses have recently added the "3 million sales" claim, and reverted my edits when I revert theirs. While this may appear to an outsider as an edit war, it is not - I am reverting vandalism. I have added the IP addresses to the sock puppet investigation page. This user is a vandal; it is not a controversial addition where consensus needs to be established - they are adding an unverified worldwide sales claim to the article. I don't see how reverting that is controversial.Nqr9 (talk) 08:54, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
The source shows 3m+ copies sold. I'm not going to get into a discussion on the validity of the source here. If you'd like to dispute the content or the validity of the source, please do so and gain consensus on the article's talk page. Any admin is free to unlock the page once consensus has been gained. Thanks, Nakon 09:00, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Discogs is a user-generated site, and is not an authoritative, or even sufficiently reliable for wikipedia's standards, source when it comes to worldwide sales claims. The wikipedia article only lists 2 certifications, both for 100,000 copies. How you then get 3 million worldwide sales from that, I don't know.Nqr9 (talk) 09:02, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Please bring this to the article's talk page. The source was in the article prior to the edit dispute. As previously said, my protection is not an endorsement of the article's current content. Thanks, Nakon 09:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Furthermore, did you look at the talk pages for any of the recent IP users who have added this claim to the article? All of them have vandalism warnings from other users.Nqr9 (talk) 09:11, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
This doesn't negate the edit war on the article. Please continue to discuss the disputed content on the article's talk page. Thanks, Nakon 09:13, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Except it isn't an "edit war". Reverting unsourced content is not a controversial action that requires consensus. Even if, for argument's sake, the information is correct, that they have not provided a *reliable* source to support it means that it's fair game to remove it. The article has had little recent activity, other than me reverting the vandalism added by this user, so I doubt there would be much point 'discussing' it on the talk page. I am not particularly interested in this article or group, but have it on my watch list as this user is a serial vandal across Bros pages. I don't have a personal stake in this; I'm trying to rid these pages of vandalism and unsupported claims.Nqr9 (talk) 09:18, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Again, I'd recommend disputing the content/source on the article's talk page. I'm not going to unprotect the article based on discussions here, and since you have already requested the protection be reviewed, you should make any additional arguments on the RFPP page. Thanks, Nakon 09:22, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Have you even read WP:EW? "Reverting actions performed by banned users in violation of their ban, and sockpuppets of banned or blocked users" is one of its exceptions. Given that fact, together with what you will find at [18], [19], and [20], I am most interested to hear how this protection could possibly be construed as appropriate. Nyttend (talk) 11:22, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
My reasoning was that when the SPI request had been filed, the IP wasn't a confirmed sock of the banned editor. The initial protection request presented itself as an edit dispute. This initial review turned out to be incorrect on my part, and I've reduced protection on the article as per the discussion below. Nakon 11:36, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Page protect

edit

Hi, Nakon, I think this was a bit over the top.Rather than using sysop-protect, a good option was to wield the block button esp. when it's a many vs. one-case and two of the issues have been discussed on t/p already.And as much as an sysop-protect prevents edit-warring, it leaves out good-faith-contributors from editing.As a side note, will an ECP be valid?Regards:) Winged Blades Godric 09:51, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • I understand that you executed the protection after visiting the RFPP request which, I'm afraid, was poorly worded.All through the while, I see selective reversion of True Insan's edits by Bishonen, Utcursch, Shinnosukeandme and the filer himself.And I believe Shrikanth was a fly-by contributor.Winged Blades Godric 09:59, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Hi, Nakon, I came here to ask about that protection, too. Did you really mean to fully protect the article for over four months? I see the latest semiprotection, by User:SpacemanSpiff, was set to expire at 04:36 17 January 2018, UTC, i. e. at exactly the same minute as your current full protection, so perhaps you somehow accidentally kept Space's end time? (And I too would have preferred the block button in this case, but that's another matter.) Bishonen | talk 10:09, 2 September 2017 (UTC).Reply
Howdy, I didn't intend on keeping the page protected that long. It was simply the increase of the protection strength without resetting the previous semiprotection period. While I don't have anything against another admin reducing the protection on the article, I'll go ahead and restore the previous protection settings as I've caused more disruption than necessary on the article. Thanks for the additional insight and review. Nakon 11:34, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! Nyttend (talk) 11:35, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Many thanks!  Winged Blades Godric 11:38, 2 September 2017 (UTC) Thanked without checking the execution. Reply
I'll go ahead and leave everything as-is for the moment (both reduced to semi). If anyone wishes to make further changes to the protection status of either article, please feel free to do so without further inquiries. Thanks, Nakon 11:54, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Sorry! Missed the enquiries by Nyttend at it's entirety! Me too seems to be pretty confused:)Winged Blades Godric 11:59, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
It looks like I've confused the two sections as well. I've reduced the article to semiprotection. Sorry for any confusion! Thanks, Nakon 11:47, 2 September 2017 (UTC)haveReply
@Winged Blades of Godric: It's normally a courtesy to ping someone when you discuss their "poorly worded" requests in order to get more insight into why they made such a request. I made the request to get the users to the talk page since their were many hands involved and blocking would have been inefficient. The lack of protection has just allowed the edits to continue. — nihlus kryik  (talk) 21:46, 2 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Confirmed user

edit

Hi, regarding this, I would really like confirmed user rights. As reverting vandalism is my primary mission for now, I'm tired of having to enter CAPTCHA's whenever adding external links (sometimes restoring external links removed via vandalism is necessary). I'm also tired of getting tripped up by abuse filters such as this one and this one which prevent me from tagging WP:NOTWEBHOST violations in the userspace. Please reconsider my request. Thanks. Pillowfluffyhead (talk) 18:36, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Howdy, I'm afraid that the 'confirmed' right is only given out in certain special circumstances such as confirming a legitimate alternate account. Wanting to bypass CAPTCHAs and abuse filters does not fall under this criteria. Thanks, Nakon 23:36, 5 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Palaye Royale

edit

Hi Nakon. You protected Palaye Royale last week for a few days to stop the disruption caused by IPs and SPAs over content related to the band's members. The disruption has started up again since the protection ran out, so I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on how to proceed from here. Posts have been added to user talk pages, and hidden notes have even been added to the article itself, but the person or persons behind the edit warring do not seem interested in discussing things. WP:AN3 or WP:SPI are options, but it's likely more SPAs or IPs will show up to replace any which are blocked. Maybe some kind of extended temporary protection would work instead? -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:12, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
