Cliff Cash edit

No worries about lots of requests, but perhaps post here, or on my talk page for any further administrative actions to take that don't directly involve that other user. As for move protection, it is currently move protected and requires autoconfirmed or extended confirmed. There's something fishy going on here. I am not familiar with what led to the current move protection so I'll ask the protecting admin.

@Favonian: Can you have a look at Cliff Cash? You move protected this for some reason related to sockpuppetry. The article got moved to draft by user:XyreneRed who was able to do it by beelining to autoconfirmed with a series of short description edits. Curiously, that user account was created Dec 3, 2021 and only made a single edit to their user page one year later and has been dormant until now whereupon they immediately futzed around with the Cliff Cash page. That seems rather odd. -- Whpq (talk) 01:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

XyreneRed (not pinged) is indeed a sockpuppet, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Liamb2011. Tollens (talk) 01:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not sure why the account was dormant so long. Doesn't really matter though, I suppose. It's certainly the same person behind the account – only editing from the iOS app, same pattern of trying to edit Cliff Cash and now Kristen Hanby (User:XyreneRed/sandbox).

@Whpq: Kristen Hanby has just been moved to article space. Tollens (talk) 01:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Looks like Liz has temporarily upgraded the move protection on Cliff Cash and salted Kristen Hanby (thank you!). This looks like it has all been dealt with now, hopefully. Tollens (talk) 10:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, a lot has happened since I was last on. Thanks to all for taking care of this. -- Whpq (talk) 11:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Pirate dzns (10:45, 10 April 2024) edit

how can i make kaimla article semi-protected for me --Pirate dzns (talk) 10:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Pirate dzns: The whole reason it is extended-confirmed protected in this case is so that you cannot edit it during the dispute that you're involved in right now. You are welcome to discuss on the talk page to attempt to reach consensus for your change. Tollens (talk) 22:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Diyajain95138 (14:17, 25 April 2024) edit

Hello, this is Diya, I want to create a new wikipedia page. How do i go about it? --Diyajain95138 (talk) 14:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Diyajain95138, and welcome to Wikipedia! There's an information page available at Help:Your first article that should be of assistance; if you've read that and need clarification please do let me know. I cannot stress enough how important it is to find reliable sources which you will base your article on before you start writing – one of the most common mistakes new editors make is to write the article first and look for references to support what they've written afterwards, rather than writing the article based only on sources they already found. The information page I linked above has a button which will assist you in creating a draft page where you can work on your article when you're ready. Tollens (talk) 23:06, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do I start editing — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxwell ogenrwoth (talkcontribs) 14:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Maxwell ogenrwoth! Reading through Help:Introduction is an excellent way to get a handle on the most important things you'll need to know, if your question is mainly about how to actually make an edit to an article. If you are instead looking for something to help out with, you might be interested in the Task Center, which has a good list of the jobs that make Wikipedia work. If you need help with something specific, please do ask – I'm more than happy to point you in the right direction. Tollens (talk) 11:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from ChangCamille155 (18:16, 29 April 2024) edit

Hello I created a page around my specialty, which is physical therapy, I though D had a conflict of interest but after reading the page about COI, I don't. However, I don't know where my article went.

My article was name " Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy " --ChangCamille155 (talk) 18:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello ChangCamille155! It appears that Draft:Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy was deleted; the reason given by the administrator who deleted the page is that the draft was promotional of the subject rather than being a neutrally-written encyclopedia article. I am not able to view the content of the deleted draft, so I'm not able to give you any particularly helpful advice about what would need to be done differently. You might want to contact the administrator who deleted the page instead, who appears to be Jimfbleak – you can reach him at his talk page. Tollens (talk) 07:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
thank you

Hello Prince Mobolaji – I'm sorry, but I am not entirely certain what you mean. I can only help with matters directly related to using or editing Wikipedia, do you have a related question? Tollens (talk) 07:29, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
