Draft:Fighters Uncaged

Would you mind restoring the draft and removing the AFC tag? There's evidence the topic is notable and just needs some work. --Izno (talk) 12:10, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

@Izno:  Done I restored and removed the tags.--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:38, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. --Izno (talk) 12:39, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Did the talk page have anything of value e.g. a WikiProject tag? I'd like to avoid another change in the page history if so. --Izno (talk) 12:40, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Draft Blocked

Hi Sphilbrick,

I'm trying to create a draft, which has been blocked because of repeated sockpuppets. The draft is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Deep_Patel. Can you please unblock the page, so I can add content to it? I have credible sources gathered. Thank you.

Respectfully, Peter 107.77.235.216 (talk) 21:23, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

The draft isn't blocked, it was created by a blocked user. Is that you?--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:30, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Can you explain why you contacted me? I see that five different admins have deleted that article, none of which are me. Your best bet is to contact the admin that deleted it.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:33, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

I see. I am not the blocked user; do I need to create a Wikipedia account to prove so? I contacted you because you were one of the names that popped up when I searched for Wiki admins. Thanks, 107.77.235.216 (talk) 21:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

You will need to convince the deleting admin. @Bbb23: It has a bit of a history, and I'd prefer it be handled by someone with some familiarly with the history.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:14, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Block review of User: LavaBaron

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

He was blocked[1] by Nyttend for one month. I'd like you to review it. The block revolves, according to Nyttend, around two things- His behavior concerning a DYK and his accusations against Administrator Fram. Nyttend seems to think this[2] is a serious violation of WP:WIAPA. I totally disagree and strongly (Have no opinion on the DYK stuff except that Nyttend is throwing around the words hoax or hoaxing about the insertion of information into articles. Nyttend has a track record of doing this with wrong information he finds when the matter wasn't done in bad faith (See this[3] for example), and think a one month block is way over the top. At present two editors agree at LavaBaron's talk page that this is a bad block. This editor has never been blocked before, the supposed WIAPA violation took place in a section of LB's talk page that LB began himself, and the fact of the matter is that Fram was told[4] to drop the stick by another administrator. Can you please review it?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:39, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

For starters, since when do we cherrypick admins to do block reviews (and even worse, ask other admins not to judge the unblock request because you have already picked one)? I have no reason to oppose a block review by Sphilbrick, don't get me wrong, but it's not usual to go to the admin of your choice, as this opens the door to abuse (going to a "tough" admin if you want a block, going to a "soft" admin if you want an unblock. Furthermore, your message here is far from neutral, and incorrect. A neutral request to an admin to review a block is one thing, a heavily slanted one is pure WP:CANVASSing. The WIAPA violation did not happen at LB's talk page, it happened at Coffee's talk page and first at WT:DYK (his message of 21:39, 21 June 2016). One of the editors agreeing that this is a bad block is another involved editor, who is also getting negative feedback about his current crop of DYK reviews and promotions. Please also check the discussion at WP:AN#Request DYK topic ban: the "drop the stick" admin seems to be in a minority position here (note also that the "drop the stick" came two days after the WIAPA statement, so to imply (as has been done by WilliamJE) that the statements were a reply to my refusal to drop the stick after being asked by an admin are plainly false. 11:15, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I notice that WilliamJA was last blocked for "continued personal attacks against Nyttend", which explains why he wants this block overturned: and that that block was undone (probably with reason) by Sphilbrick, which explains why WilliamJE came here. Sphilbrick, I would urge you not to review the block to avoid all appearances of being a canvassed, biased admin instead of the required neutral one. WilliamJE, this is the kind of trick that can get you into trouble per WP:BOOMERANG. Fram (talk) 11:24, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Fram, your behavior shows astonishingly failure to WP:AGF. Firstly, SP has said it before[5], he and I have disagreed strongly in the past. SP- 'so he is not addressing me because he thinks I will automatically take his side.' Your bias claims and tough or soft admin comments are therefore way off the mark. Secondly, I have gone to another administrator, EdJohnston, to do a block review just recently[6]. Thirdly, I could have stated my views of LB's block on his page and still summoned an administrator to do an unblock request. The administrator will weigh what I have to say and anyone else who has chimed in. Fourthly, your bringing up what happened two years ago is appalling because you know nothing about it and it has nothing to do with today. Nobody defended it and it was overturned. SP, is fully aware of it since he unblocked me. Fifthly, SP has told me if I see questionable administrator actions to bring it to his attention and he'll look at it. I've done so before. Take me to ANI and try getting that boomerang for me or are you brave enough to not risk a boomerang coming back at yourself?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:02, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

@Fram: A couple quick points, because I've started taking a look but not yet ready to say more than just preliminary comments. I've had a long interaction with William — to oversimplify, he thinks there is admin abuse on this project, and I think admin abuse is something we have to be very careful about and make sure it doesn't occur, so I promised William I would look into such allegations. As William noted, I don't always agree with his assessment. On some occasions I think he has made a good point, and in other situations I have sharply disagreed with William.

That said, he has put me in an awkward position. A suggestion on the user's talk page that no other admin should review it because I've been asked to review it is quite improper and I've struck it. In fact, William, that statement creates a conflict of interest, and while I do see some things that I'd like to pursue, I will have to leave the block decision to someone else.

I am troubled that an editor with a clean block record gets a one-month block as their first block. I'm still looking, but I don't see the evidence of warnings that normally precede even a short block. Let me emphasize the "still looking" aspect, perhaps it exists and I just haven't found it yet.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:17, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Update: user has been unblocked. This is an update, not a "resolved". There are still issues.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

I have made no comments on the block or block length: I didn't ask for a block (or an unblock). My main problem was with the procedure of an editor asking for a specific admin, demanding that no other admin than his choice will do the unblock review, and then going to that admin with a severely slanted account with basic errors (which just happen to be in favour of the unblock). When I then noticed that the user demanding you to unblock was someone blocked for personal attacks against the blocking admin, and unblocked then by you, then it all gives an extremely strong indication of canvassing and hoping for a certain result by following this procedure. None of this is your fault (or, for that matter, that of LavaBaron), but letting it just pass with the chance that you didn't realise every aspect seemed like a bad idea. I note that WilliamJE ignores the errors he made in this (in his reply to me), and gives a very weird account of his unblock by you in 2014 (the block was not simply overturned, you were overturned with conditions attached to the unblock, after another admin had already declined an unblock request). Fram (talk) 21:31, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Your behavior Fram is both typical and disgraceful. What do bad administrators do when they hear complaints against their own? Do nothing and then go digging for dirt on the complainer. Block logs, talk pages, and User pages. And half the time they can't even read the stuff right. I made a good faith effort to get an administrator to rule on a lingering unblock request and I get crap from you for doing so. Please point me to any wikipedia policy that says I did something wrong in coming to SP. Bring it up and then bring me to ANI over it when you do so. I'm waiting and I bet I will waiting a long time. You say I demanded. I asked SP to please review it. As already said, your bias claims were way off the mark and you couldn't be bothered to check my long history with SP (Both our talk pages have search functions, so there is no excuse) before making bogus accusations. You accuse me of errors, (BTW how is my accounting of what happened in 2014 weird? Either withdraw the statement or supply proof that it is weird. Do your research carefully too or you will make yet another mistake) how about fessing up to your own. You can't intimidate me and that was your intention when you bring up boomerangs. Either that or blithering incompetence. Which is it?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:38, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Draft Deleted

Dear Sphilbrick,

I understand that you deleted a draft of something I was in the process of editing. Admittedly, I have not updated it in some time and I understand the necessity of deleting content that is no longer being used. However, I would sincerely like to have my draft restored. I do not recall receiving notifications that it was up for deletion until now, at which time it was just removed right when I was about to remove the line of code necessary to salvage it. Could my draft be restored? I would really, really appreciate it if that was possible; I don't believe I have a usable backup and sadly my only one at all is inaccessible. Please let me know what can be done about this. Many thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rschmaut (talk • contribs) 17:04, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Sorry I did not include the details; I'm pretty new to how all this works. Again, many thanks for restoring the draft! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rschmaut (talk • contribs) 13:31, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Undeletion request for TerminOrgs article

Could you please undelete this article? I do not recall getting a notice about the deletion until two days ago--from Puffin?--who has since retired. I was on vacation so could not respond. There is a new contributor from our group working on the required citations needed to verify the existence and purpose of this organization. Thanks--Sue Kocher and Kara Warburton.104.129.194.69 (talk) 14:54, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Restored. Please note that this is not the first request. It was restored roughly a year ago, but abandoned. I hope you'll work on it but if it is abandoned again, it is less likely to be restored.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Undelete Request: Robert B. Stone

Regarding the Robert B. Stone draft article which you deleted moments ago: 1) I received a message today from MRD2014 who said "If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the db-afc or db-g13 code." 2) So I immediately removed the code as instructed and, with an appreciation of the reminder, resumed editing the article to add more references of notability. 3) Then I immediately received a message from another editor, CLCStudent, asking whether I deleted the delete tag by mistake and providing different instructions for dealing with the impending delete, namely to use the "contest speedy deletion" button. 4) Then I immediately looked for the "contest speedy deletion" button as instructed, but not only was there no such button, the article was deleted.

This all happened in a matter of minutes. In each case, I was following the instructions given. Nevertheless, the article was deleted.

So I respectfully request that you reinstate the article so I may resume editing it. Thank you.

Dstone2 (talk) 16:29, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

@Dstone2: The submission was declined on 27 December 2015, over six months ago. You received a notice at that time and did not touch the article over the next six months.

On the chance that it had been overlooked by you, we sent you a follow-up message on 28 May, informing you that it would be deleted soon. Again, you made no edits to it.

After no edits in the first five months and no edits after the reminder it was deleted today. Apparently you tried to remove the speedy notification but made no edits to the article. Another hour went by with no edits by you so it was deleted.

I have restored it but I do not appreciate the implications that this was done in an untimely way. You've received multiple notices and done nothing with it.--S Philbrick(Talk) 16:39, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Two points of clarification. Your list starts with 1) but the message from MRD2014 was not the first notice, but the third.

The message urged you to "simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code" (Emphasis added). The point was, if you actually edit the article, we will know you are working on it. Simply removing the tag doesn't show that you are working on it. You removed the tag but made no other edit.

Your summary of the events is highly misleading; it has now been restored, so please go ahead and work on it.--S Philbrick(Talk) 16:47, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Southern Colorado

Could you please restore that PRODed article to User:SMcCandlish/Incubator/Southern Colorado? There's likely something or other salvageable in it. It is a real term, both geographically and culturally, with close ties to Northern New Mexico as part of what was the large territory of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, Nueva España, and later the US New Mexico Territory, neither of which included the rest of CO. (People from CO, NM, TX, AZ, KS, OK, NV, UT, and .MX might likely be aware of this, but others less so.) In the interim, the present redlink it should be changed to: #REDIRECT [[Colorado#Southern region]] {{Redr|to section|with possibilities}}, but I don't know if doing that first makes it more difficult to recover the deleted, flawed article.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  11:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I have helped many, many newish editors, and in every case, I hope my help plays a role in persuading them to stay. Some do, which please me immensely, but you are one of the best examples. I get that your subject area is not one that everyone finds interesting, but if someone is interested, I am sure they are blown away by Wikipedia's comprehensive treatment, to which you have contributed immensely.

My draft was deleted. I request Undelete

Hi there. My draft was deleted because (I guess) I did not add all the proper information for an image-logo I used. I am new to this and I was under the impression that since I was in draft mode and hadn't submitted my article for review yet, I could add all those information at a later time. I guess I was wrong. I have updated the image with all the information needed (I think) so I would very much appreciate it if you could undelete my draft, so as to continue my work on it. I thank you in advance. The draft in question is Draft:DIPLOMA Oneirovates (talk) 09:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

@Oneirovates: It wasn't the image, it was the text. Much of it appeared to be copied from this site. We do not restore deleted articles when they were deleted for copyright reasons.--S Philbrick(Talk) 11:47, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Let me expand, it wasn't deleted because of the image, but the image was also a problem.--S Philbrick(Talk) 11:50, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Reviews

Thanks for chipping in on the McKinsey page. If you have a few minutes, I would love your review of a few other times[7][8][9] (if you have time). Request Edit appears to be almost a year backlogged. It's basically quite useless. CorporateM (Talk) 22:33, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

That's not the only backlog.

I spent several hours each day working on the OTRS info queue. The backlog is down a bit but way larger than it should be. Sadly, one of my common responses to people asking about articles needing edits is to tell them they are not permitted to edit and they should file a request edit. It hurts to do that but I don't know what else to tell them.

I used to do a fair amount of work with OTRS permissions (mostly filing permission statements for images). I took a break for a couple reasons but I see the backlog is up to 1300 open requests. Way too many, some more than 70 days old.

I recently decided to help out at a new tool monitoring potential copyright problems. I handled quite a few but the inflow is far exceeding the number that can be handled.

That doesn't even count the couple hundred deletions I do at CSD with the backlog that's roughly stable but a challenge to keep under control.

It's actually rather discouraging.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Cheese redirects

Hi and thanks for your message on my talk page. I have no issue with the general idea of "Cheese from X" as a redirect, but the same user created about 25 redirects to the same article, using every variation of "cheese", "cheeses", "cheese from" "cheese of" and "Eire," "Ireland," "Northern Ireland," "Southern Ireland" etc al. I did leave a handful that could be valid redirects, but the majority to me were implausible and disruptive, hence my nominations for speedy deletion. Melcous (talk) 12:36, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

There are 9 heptane isomers, and all but this one have their own articles or redirect back to heptane. Why the article about this one should be deleted?

Hi, I brought some changes to the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Grazia_Giammarinaro. I am new to Wikipedia, in fact I am registered only after making the changes. I'd like to understand which link infringed copyright. What you mentioned isn't worth being on the page because the links are all references to specific documents. I am working directly for the subject of the page, so if releases are needed they will not be a problem — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webisy (talk • contribs) 17:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Webisy, If you work for the subject then you need to read:

wp:coi

and comply with the disclosure requirements.

The bulk of your edit included material copied from this site

That's a UN site so I'm going to be very surprised if you are authorized to release the contents. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Forgive me, but not so I understand correctly. To make a change, do I have to propose it before publishing it? I read the guidelines in Italian and I had not found anything about it.

I also take this opportunity to ask you if you can tell me how I can, once these problems have been resolved, translate the page into Italian.

Thanks a lot, as soon as I find out if those documents are in the public domain or not, I find a way to solve the problem.

@Webisy: It is not, in general, necessary to propose a change before publishing it, but those are best practices when it comes to people with a conflict of interest. I'm not sure that's literally required, although I personally think it ought to be. However, what is required are disclosure requirements as outlined at the page I already identified. The separate issue which is unrelated to the conflict of interest issue, is that much of your edit in involved copying from a United Nations page. This actually turns out to be a potentially complicated issue, as copying of some lists is permitted under copyright law, so pure compilations of lists of publications are typically permitted. It is my opinion that your edit, which included titles of publications did not qualify, but it might be worth getting input from other copyright experts.

Regarding translation, I have no skills in other languages but there are a number of resources at Wikipedia:Translation.--S Philbrick(Talk) 11:51, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, these days I have inquired about the authorization for the publication of those links. They told me that there are no restrictions in this regard as they are available to everyone online. So I wanted to know if you can restore it, or how I can show you what I'm saying. If you cannot publish it due to Wikipedia restrictions, I can insert it without the links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webisy (talk • contribs) 07:36, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Webisy, There is no problem providing links to UN documents, but they are subject to copyright see you cannot copy the content. S Philbrick(Talk) 11:24, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
