Please do not delete my article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shayan Mortazavi (talk • contribs) 08:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- User:Shayan Mortazavi. You have not shown why you are notable. And even if you are it should be someone else and not you who writes the article. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Shayan Mortazavi (talk) 13:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC) I did show why I am notable. I clearly stated that I'm notable for my popular YouTube channel.
- (talk page stalker) @Shayan Mortazavi: Just because you say you're notable doesn't mean you are. You have to be notable per Wikipedia guidelines. If you aren't, then you aren't important enough to be worthy of inclusion. Sorry. --Drm310 (talk) 15:52, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- What User:Drm310 says. The popularity of your YouTube channel is not proof of notability on Wikipedia. You need sources other than that, reports from other people that have written about you, to establish notability. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 16:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Shayan Mortazavi (talk) 01:22, 18 March 2015 (UTC) It doesn't even let me attempt to create another article. What am I supposed to do once I find credible sources?
- You can work on it in your user space. Create a sandbox and do it there. Once you think it's ready let me know. CambridgeBayWeather (mobile) (talk) 01:29, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
ACCESS Academy deleted
Why was the page I created for my school, ACCESS Academy, deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darthvader1521 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not ignoring you but I'm in the middle of a blizzard. It has knocked out the Internet and I'm stuck using the data on my phone. I'll check once the wind dies off or I go home. CambridgeBayWeather (mobile) (talk) 01:05, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- OK. I deleted it because it looked like an advert. Also some was copied directly from the school site and violated their copyright. Material must be in your own words. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
FYI, author recreated a duplicate version of the article you CSD'ed per A7. Before you deleted it I had BLP PRODed it, and the author removed the tag without fixing any of the issues. I tagged it for A7 again. Thanks. -War wizard90 (talk) 06:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Continued edit warring at University of Texas at Austin
A few weeks ago, you blocked two editors and protected University of Texas at Austin due to continued edit warring. The protection ended a few days ago and they're back at it again. Mind blocking them again for a bit longer to get them to stop and maybe convince them to talk it out? Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 16:53, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Any assistance with this issue would be most appreciated. This editor has twice, since the edit ended, to continually edit the statement that led to the original edit war. I have reverted both times but recognize that the 24 hour block probably didn't solve the problem. The last edit that I made utilized some terminology that we had both agreed was appropriate. But there are still several points that we have not reached agreement on and which probably will remain at stalemate between us. I believe that the input and decision of an objective third party is probably needed in order to reach a resolution on this argument. And I accept responsibility for my part in this argument and edit war. At this point in time, it probably makes more sense for RandolphDuke and myself to both walk away as editors of this specfic article and leave it to other, less-biased editors to modify going forward. Macae (talk) 18:12, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- User:ElKevbo, User:Macae, User:Randolph Duke. I've protected the page again. Given that the two are using the talk page I haven't blocked them this time. If they are both blocked then there can be no discussion. I do think that getting a third party input or some form of Wikipedia:Dispute resolution is needed. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:44, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
I embrace the prospect of an objective individual stepping into this matter to prevent the intentional vandalism of the page by user Macae. The discussion is on an arcane point of whether the constitutionally mandated Agricultural branch college of the University of Texas was other than a subordinate branch college of the University of Texas in 1919. As stated, there were attempts to amend the constitutionally mandated subordinate branch status of the Agricultural branch college in 1915 and 1919. My efforts were to explain that after the failed attempt to alter the structure of the university, the relationship of all branch colleges remained unchanged. User Macae is attempting to falsely assert that in the aftermath of the failed restructuring, the exact effect of the failed restructuring was, in fact, effected. User Macae is well aware the passage he continues to post is false, misleading and that he is offering it in bad faith.
User Macae has an emotional attachment to the successor in name to the Agricultural branch college and the lore and legend of his alma mater falsely asserts the status of the branch college was "independent" of the main university. To support this, he has offered citations he unquestionably knows do not support his contentions. I have attempted repeatedly to have him cut and paste the exact wording he believes supports his contention and, as no such wording exists, he has instead chosen to alter the original wording used in his citation to include words of his own choosing that modify the substance of the citations he has offered. the edits he is continuously making are not being made in good faith and they constitute vandalism.
I am attempting to assist University of Texas administrators in other edits and to work with university historians to make additional necessary changes to this page. User Macae continues to demand his fabricated and unsubstantiated passage be included. The inability to edit the page is very much interfering with the work of others and this matter very much needs to be resolved. Randolph Duke (talk) 01:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- The last thing that I want to do is to begin an argument on this editor's talk page. So rather than pointing out the error's in Randolph's claims here, I will simply ask that you reference the Article's talk page to understand the actual dispute that is occurring. And as mentioned previously, I welcome the input and assistance from an objective, third party editor to moderate and weigh in on this discussion. Macae (talk) 15:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- User:Macae and User:Randolph Duke, I don't mind if you folks talk here. I do think that Wikipedia:Dispute resolution is the place to look for help though. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- CambridgeBayWeather - Might I suggest that the protection that you placed on University of Texas at Austin be extended beyond tomorrow's expiration point? I asked for some third party opinion or even decision making with regards to the disagreement between myself and another user. However no one has really offered up a proposed statement yet, and the other user just stated on the talk page that "Until directed otherwise by an objective third party, I will insist on the following and will effect changes on the page as necessary". It is my assumption and belief that as soon as protection is removed, this user will again attempt to initiate an edit war on the page. I have suggested that at this point in time, it would probably be better for both of us to walk away and leave all future editing up to other editors. But this isn't something that he is willing to agree to. Thanks Macae (talk) 19:58, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Question about concensus...
Your redirect/merge/move of:
Dallas mayoral election, 2015 and 2015 Dallas City Council elections
I still consider myself quite new at editing and all its subtleties. I was involved in trying to build consensus concerning the above two articles. Apparently they were merged though to my eyes (I'm guessing that I am not objective) consensus was not really achieved. I'm okay with that, but generally speaking, how do you come to your decisions in cases like this? The reason I am even bothering asking is that: 1. in the future I would prefer not to waste your time in 'fixing' things like this; and 2. Was consensus really part of the process; 3. Did you simply decide to do what was best (I trust your experience and judgement); 4. I would prefer not to waste my time on similar future discussions. Best Regards,
Clarification on School inclusion guidelines
Hello, I tagged Learnium International School as A7, since no assertion of notability. The entire article reads "Learnium International School is located in Colombo, Sri Lanka It is an international school founded and run by Turkish citizens." Can you point to where I can read about school inclusion guidelines, so I can understand why this was not a valid tag? Thank you, --Gaff (talk) 02:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Walvisbaai
Thanks for the update. What would fall besides rain? Hail? On an unrelated note, I ran across Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut the other day. The article uses present tense ("schooling is provided by flying the students"; "is a community", not "is a ghost town" or "was a community"), but it says that the population was zero at the last census. Is this just a verb-tense error, or is the situation somewhat more complex? Nyttend (talk) 18:04, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't realise that drizzle would be separate; I thought it was just rain, snow, sleet, and hail, and I figured that sleet and snow were unlikely in a place where the lowest temperature on record is 6º. Maybe I'm just forgetting; I don't personally remember experiencing snow in 40ºF+ temperatures, and I figured such a temperature would be too warm for anything frozen, except for hail. And thanks for the clarification about Bathurst Inlet and the other places; unless the census had made a mistake (it happens; the 2000 US census said that S.N.P.J., Pennsylvania, near me, had 0 residents, but the residents disagreed!), I couldn't see how these things were possible, but I figured I'd better defer to the almost-local. Nyttend (talk) 21:09, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- It happens closer to the Equator: we had flurries here last night, and at the time it was in the mid-to-high 30ºFs. But the lowest lows (according to the article at least) at Walvisbaai are five to ten ºFs higher; snow at those temperatures is completely out of my experience. And since the place is officially a community, no complaints, and I would restore "is a community" if it were removed: it's like several Oklahoma towns (Hoot Owl, for example), which were officially towns even though they had 0 residents at the 2000 census. With Bathurst Inlet, I saw 0 population and students going to Cambridge Bay, and I initially wondered if there were 0 permanent residents but a bunch of nomads or "rural" residents, as if there were numerous Inuit living a traditional lifestyle and using the community as a meeting place that was convenient for their out-of-community homes or their nearby itinerancy. Nyttend (talk) 22:05, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- I think I understand, then — you're just trying to make sure that I understand the breadth of the concept, not suggesting that they experience other stuff. Curious, from my previous statement: are there places in western Nunavut where some Inuit live in isolated traditional accommodations or are nomadic, or does pretty much everyone live in some sort of town? I just have a hard time imagining people living away from a community in such a climate, but then I remember that settled towns are a new thing, and their ancestors lived away from communities in such a climate.

Albert Gotay
Was deleted. [1]. He is a published college professor who actually is written about in many different magazines. I believe that at the very least he should have gone through AFD because notability might have been in question. He appears on many different google books [2], [3], [4]. I know that there is fallacy in the WP:Otherstuffexists argument, but just take a look at some of the professors listed here who are far less notable. [5].

Restoring page: Indian Collegiate Athletic Program (ICAP)
Hi, The page of my company 'Indian Collegiate Athletic Program (ICAP)' was deleted on 17th March. Please note that some of the content on this wiki page that showed copyright issues was actually similar to my company's website, for which the copyright resides with me. Please let me know how should I resolve this issue? Also, ICAP is a non-profit organization and the content in no manner meant to look like an advertisement. However, if any changes in language or content are required, I will take care of them. Kindly restore the page to allow me to make changes. Thanks. Sagrika Chehal (talk) 11:24, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

You protected these two pages per request. I have only looked at the former, but I suspect the two cases are the same. The editwarring has ceased, some two days ago, and the editor requesting protection was one of the warriors. (The other warrior has, as far as I can tell, apologised.) They were advised to request protection at AN/I, by the same user that has AfD'd them.
The discussion is here - note I have just added my comments, suggesting that the pages can probably be unprotected.

Hi:
You have inputted many weather related instruments in Commons and I was wondering if you have any picture of an Actinograph (A pyranometer or pyrheliometer with a recording device such as in http://www.ketterer.net/Englisch/Produkte/Strahlung/Strahlung.html) that you could upload? The images in the article are for a photographic actinograph but I would like to put a meteorological example.

About DEPART Foundation deleted page
I write about depart foundation page, deleted last March 17. I would like to write a new proper article, can you recover the old one in some working space so I have a reference model for the wrong things? Also I have a problem. I am not able to log in anymore.. When I ask for a new password, no email with it arrives... does it make sense to you? Should I create a new account? Thank you for your help ([email protected], in case I have not account anymore...).
- I just realised that there was a copy of the page in the history of User:Depart foundation/Depart foundation and can be seen here. That particular username is a problem because it is called a "promotional username, see Wikipedia:Username policy. Hope this helps.

Benedict Cumberbatch full protection
Just wanted to ask a couple a questions since I didn't have a chance to respond before the page was archived. You full protected Sophie Hunter, which I greatly thank you for, I think it'll really help. But then you said that you declined Benedict Cumberbatch's request because there wasn't enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The last person blocked as a sock was 24 February. No evidence that socks used since then. Which is true but if you look at the history of the SPIs, the socks all started with Cumberbatchs page and then branched out to his associates like his parents and his exgirlfriends and now his wife Sophie Hunter. With Hunters page now protected, you don't think it'd be a good idea to be safe and full protect his too? Just to stop them before they start? LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:25, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Muktar allebbey
Hi CambridgeBayWeather. It appears that Muktar allebbey has created another sock account. Please see here, where the Hadraa account links to an email that he indicates was addressed to him. The coding in the email lists "muktar allebbey" as the receiver, and also includes his email address [7]. Best regards, Middayexpress (talk) 19:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies for the late response, CambridgeBayWeather. I glanced at your message and new signature and mistook you for another editor with a similar username that I was involved in a content dispute with. I was so incredulous that he should follow me onto your page after I had warned him to stop stalking me that I actually queried about harassment on the relevant policy page! lol At any rate, it seems Hadraa/Muktar allebbey has since deleted the link. I've also had a chance to mull it over, and I don't think he should be blocked after all. The WikiProject could use more good faith Somali editors; with some mentoring, I think Hadraa could perhaps evolve into that. Thanks anyway for everything and take care.

Edit warring.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Opposition_to_Freemasonry_within_Christianity&action=history The last edit I made to that article had nothing to do with my content that was removed. I added link as a citation for the Missouri Synod's position to replace a dead link. What they changed from what I wrote was something else, I left there changes as they were. So it was not edit warring. --PaulBustion88 (talk) 05:21, 13 April 2015 (UTC) When I changed that article after others edited, I think it was always about something else other than the change that others had disputed. I never put back something in the article that others took out, or took something out that my reverters had put in.

AfD on Liberland
Hi, I have a question to you since you're an administrator who has seen the Liberland article:
Do you think that the situation at the AfD for Liberland can motivate a WP:SNOW close? It seems like the deletion request was started when the topic notability was a bit unclear, because most of the media sources that started to cover it were non-English. A lot of reliable information has been gathered to the article now, and there are even TV clips about the project, so the AfD seems pointless. - Anonimski (talk) 10:57, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I see, although the nominator already mentioned (posted 12:53, 15 April 2015) that he started the AfD at an earlier stage, when he hadn't found much info about the topic. - Anonimski (talk) 11:14, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Page protection - Nicki Minaj
Thank you for implementing full page protection at Nicki Minaj while a discussion to achieve consensus is underway. This will be helpful to avoid further disruption to the article in the meantime. However, I ask that you restore the page to this revision on April 7, which was just prior to the point of time the dispute started. Per MOS:BLPLEAD, it is likely that this is how the article will remain long-term, since the focus in the opening lead sentence should be on the person's nationality, not ethnicity. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 15:15, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, I just noticed that some other changes in the article occurred since April 7 that were not part of the dispute. If at all possible, please just change "Trinidadian" to "American", which was the accepted language for over a year in the article. Then we will change it to whatever form is decided on in the discussion. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 15:21, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Given the discussion and the unclear consensus I think I'll wait on doing that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 02:25, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Is a week of full protection a standard procedure for any sign of edit warring by now? It strikes me as pretty excessive for a minor dispute over wording.

- User:Peter Isotalo. Edit warring over a very minor wording change seems a little silly to begin with. Sure I could have blocked one editor but then they can't explain their position. I could have protected for one day. Then everybody goes away for a day and starts again tomorrow. If the page is protected for a week then people have to discuss and as soon as a consensus emerges the page can be unprotected right away. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:34, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- I don't tend to complain about article protections, but in this case, one specific user is being disruptive, unreasonable and, more importantly, is violating basic WP:BRD policy. A warning would be quite appropriate rather than locking down for a week and pretending that everyone is equally guilty.
- Peter Isotalo 11:45, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- User:Peter Isotalo. They were warned here and still did this. I'm not pretending that everybody is guilty. I have no idea what the correct terminology is. This seems almost a wrong version protection. It just happened to be in the User:Beyond My Ken version but could easily have been your version or User:EvergreenFirs version. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:56, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- I was assuming a warning from a third party, but if you feel my warning was sufficient, I'm satisfied. Thanks for the clarification.
- Peter Isotalo 12:53, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
I have no objection to the protection, and wouldn't have if it had been the other version that was in effect at the time -- that's just the luck of the draw. I will continue to participate in the discussion until a consensus is determined. BMK (talk) 14:44, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

WRITTING WRONG INFORMATION
Hi Cambridgebaywhether, I received your message, it's so much rude that you have deleted all the content that I added. I am sure that you are an Indian not a neutral guy that's why you think that 1965 war was a decisive victory of Indian army but reality is reality that 1965 war was a decisive victory of Pakistan armed forces. I have also read this in Australian newspaper that Pakistan had victory over Indian army. Your claim that Pakistani government and army are not telling correct information to her people is totally false and you don't know anything about the war. You have only added a content that was written by Indian writers but not any other neutral writer. Sorry to say that but you are not providing the correct information to the Wikipedia users. You reacted aggressively on me but then also thank you friend for viewing my message and good bye forever, always be neutral and try to find a neutral content but not a content that satisfies your thinking. From now and onwards I'll not change any content because you all guys don't like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaharyar.121 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Wykop.pl - protecting
Thanks for protecting this site, but I have one question. Why did you leave this false information about films abusing John Paul II, which were run down by anonymous IP trolls and I wanted to delete it? Here is this site [8], where can you see anything which abuses The Pope? Ad meritum. These films weren't made by Wykop, but by karachan.org, a local mutation of 4chan. Some users of Wykop with its chairman, Michal Bialek, checked authors of these films and committed it to prosecutors, so users of karachan.org started to sign the films with Wykop.pl logo. Link about it in Polish [9] Links used in this section are not reliable - none of them links to Wykop, one [10] links for a blog, other - to "films" [11]. Everyone can make and post into YouTube film containing e.g. Wikipedia logo - then we will talk about Wikipedia controversy and that Wikipedia abuses Pope? Looking in history of IPs, they often troll in their editions and reasons of editions often contain Polish vulgar words. For example this edition [12] was reasoned as "edytuj jeszcze raz a zrucham ci starą" ("Edit one more time, and I'll f*** you mother"), and other [13] was reasoned as "jan paweł 2 zesrał ci się do buta jebany w dupę wykopku" ("John Paul II made sh*t into your shoe, you f***ing in ass Wykop user"). BTW, I think that protection for a week isn't good solving, after this time the trolls will troll again. It should be protected at least for one year (of course, without these false informations). Regards, --CzakNoris (talk) 08:58, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- It does not state that Wykop makes the films but that some people "claiming to be members" and that they deny it. You should bring this to the talk page rather than edit war over it. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 09:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- The only evidence is a Wykop logo in films posted into YouTube. Everyone can make and post into YouTube film containing e.g. Wikipedia logo - then we will talk about Wikipedia controversy and that Wikipedia abuses Pope? Here is a link suggesting that it was made by Karachan users: [14]
Translation into English:
Yesterday at 4:45 there was a break-in the Central Examination Commission. The site has been placed film criticizing the Polish education system, as well as photos and videos insulting Pope John Paul II. Media write about the incident to the delight of the burglars, who are members of the site karachan.org, called the Polish fake 4chan. This information we have checked and confirmed.
The content of the site has been updated several times, which directly shows that access to the site administrator panel CKE had a lot of people. This can significantly impair the operation of the police and catch all guilty of this attack. This meant that the password to the website had to be made available in a public forum, and so it was.
Writing about this matter, the media are fun burglars and persons associated with them. For "Niebezpiecznik" was quoted saying Sebastian Gałczyński. ("gała" in Polish means colloquially "football") But this is the character does not exist - it's just one of the most important memes penalties. It is the epitome of a typical young Pole, who walks in tracksuits, drinking cheap beer, and his only entertainment is digging eyeballs'. Silhouette is supposed to be the epitome of all of us, people who are open to the world other than the computer screen. Calling someone on Karachan Sebastian is regarded as an insult, because it is in this environment very pejorative term.
On the other side of reporting about the break on the website CKE also cited Posts roladka_z_przyszlosci and jpIIgmd. It is also the Karachan memes, the second is an abbreviation that develop in the vulgar way offends the Pope John Paul II, which other parties, for example. Kurier Lubelski also distribute information unwittingly insulting the Pope. I'm afraid it might embolden burglars and lead to attacks on more frequently visited pages.
Karachan users often offend various celebrities and authorities impersonating into portals Wykop and Kwejk. Seeing the hacked page CKE immediately thought, who is behind the attack. My suspicions were correct. On channel for random discussion broke karachan.org approving attack. At the time of writing this post at the entry of the burglary occurred over 600 comments). Sorry Polish anons do not like new users, so secured before their influx. To get on the forum, you must perform a number of operations in AdBlock.
Karachan is one of the most peculiar Polish internet sites. I would compare it to the dark streets of the city, which was once in your life you have to see it to know who should not be.
How Karachan users can make an attack on CKE page? On the canal random someone just gave your login and password for the admin panel. She did it the person who wanted to break without dirtying their hands and risking the intervention of the police. Users of Karachan were only formalities. Looking at the results you will see that they did it, flawlessly ', acting in typical fashion. Offending people dead, including such well-known as Pope John Paul II, Father Popiełuszko whether Lech Kaczynski because there is on the agenda. And these are not light flips in the form of funny pictures. The created contents are often extremely offensive and insulting words that we will not quote here.
I hope the police will find and punish exemplary people responsible for this attack. I look forward to an equally rapid reaction as in the case of a break-in of Prime Minister.

There's should no be "claimed to be made by Wykop users", but "made by Karachan". Information of that abuses many Wykop users (on of them is Solidarity legend, Lech Walesa). Sorry for deleting messages, but this user was trolling in my discussion pages (he called my messages as "spamming"), he had no other editions in Wikipedia [19] and he also deleted my messages.

Page protection..
Hello CambridgeBayWeather,
I know you did a page semi-protection for Defense of Van (1915) until April 23. The fact of the matter is that the vandalism happening to the article is due to the upcoming Armenian Genocide centennial on April 24. Various IP users are trying to discredit the entire centennial by disrupting articles related to the Armenian Genocide. I predict, that the day in which most vandalism will take place is on April 24. So I was just wondering if you can extend the semi-protection of that article until April 24/25 so as to have the article protected on its most vulnerable day. Thanks in advance, Étienne Dolet (talk) 03:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
About that AfD for Liberland again...
Hi there. Now that one week has passed since the premature AfD for Liberland that I messaged about earlier (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free republic of liberland), do you think it would be good to close it now? The topic notability seems to be high enough by a large margin, if we look at news reports, Google hits, page views, and editor consensus. There is a DYK nomination that I've made for the article (Template:Did you know nominations/Liberland). Before the AfD is over, nothing can be done at the DYK nomination page, and it's also a reason that it would be good to close the AfD nomination as soon as it's possible. - Anonimski (talk) 10:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

IPC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Penal_Code
Well, you've protected the article from being edited further by reverting to an older version. Please go through the article and compare it to the most recent edit. There are unreadable bits in the article especially under secion 377 and wikipedia itself suggests that it needs some 'cleaning' and 'citations'. Moreover, there are unsubstantiated bits of information like section 377 being responsible for aids, which is absurd to say the least.
Since removing 377 is not a 'suggested reform' by any government committee which is the case with other sections, it would be incorrect to put it under a 'reform' heading. Hence the heading was changed to 'controversial sections'. The repeated restoration of the article seems to have been started by someone who does not know much about Indian criminal law, thus giving rise to an edit war.
Kindly look into the matter by going through the article yourself. The current version of the article perpetuates false beliefs and is an instrument of protest rather than a piece of objective and true information. I have nothing against the activists and as I pointed out in the comments, the section has its own wiki page.
P.s. : I liked this bit : "By the way the chances I have made a mistake are small. This is because I am cute and know everything. Plus I have reliable sources (grandchildren) to back that up." :D
- Thanks. The truth is I don't know which is right or wrong there. That's why I fully protected it rather than semi-protect or block people. What is needed now is a discussion at Talk:Indian Penal Code. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:40, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello. You protected this a while ago for a week, but it doesn't seem to have taken effect as seen by the history. I also don't see the traditional "Protected [article]..." but rather something about pending configuration? Amaury (talk) 21:55, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- There didn't appear at the time to be a lot of IP editing so I went with WP:Pending changes. It seems to have increased so I changed to regular protection. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:36, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. Thanks. Amaury (talk) 01:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello
I need a favor, can You undelete the page history of My userpage. I know it was deleted once and some edits to that page are hidden. I hope it's not asking too much. Eddie 11:10, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for restoring My page history. Although there are revisions with the "Exicornt" stuff, I won't be restoring that to My page. I wanted to see if there was any useful content from 2005-06 that I can put on My current userpage. Eddie 15:07, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
United States
It is possible edit warring is starting up again.--Mark Miller (talk) 20:36, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- Seems to have stopped for a while I'll check later. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:41, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
- Cool. Eyes are all that are needed, just in case. Thanks!--Mark Miller (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

James Rhodes (pianist) article and the ever widening disruption to wikipedia
Hello,
I am sorry to bother you about this article again, but the disruptions and issues are continuing to grow. Could you please when you have a moment evaluate this entire situation in your administrator role, and try to end the disruption by the IP editor and Joseph2302. I am getting personally attacked by the IP editor, as well as Joseph2302 multiple times in the last few hours. Now,Joseph2302 is posting at the protection page that the protection needs to be dropped altogether. The IP editor is casting more aspersions at the BLP noticeboaed, plus two edit warring reports lay unresolved at that board. Thanks for anything you may be able to do to solve this brouhaha. Cheers!

- Sorry to bother you, out there's a thread at WP:ANI in which the outcome seems to be that the above user is Wikihounding me. Also, please could you unprotect the page- the talkpage and WP:BLPN consensus seems to be that the sources there are fine, so stopping the IP editor from editing despite the fact they were editing with consensus seems unfair. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:26, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- I think it best to wait until the ANI is played out. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:42, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- That's fair enough. Joseph2302 (talk) 01:44, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
re: protection fail
Yes, that's the right page. I've never seen this happen before. I wish now that I'd taken a screenshot of the protection page, because it was freaky. The log entry was at the bottom saying it should be an indef TE lock, but it was totally unlocked. Hope they figure out what happened and fix it. *shudder* KrakatoaKatie 19:01, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
WUWT
Hi. Just curious: you fully protected WUWT; but your note on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection says declined. I don't quite understand that William M. Connolley (talk) 22:00, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- User:William M. Connolley, I missed the "o" in the template which gave declined instead of done. I changed it a dew minutes later but you must have seen the original version. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:34, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- Aha, yes, I'd missed that. Thanks William M. Connolley (talk) 22:39, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Suicide Squad
Could you please increase and extend the protection on Suicide Squad? Vandalism is still occurring. Rusted AutoParts 01:52, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- I guess so. Redlink accounts are still slipping in and readding unverified content despite being told not to add it. It's just being vandalistic at this point. semi protection just didn't seem to work. Rusted AutoParts 15:49, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
James Rhodes
Hello,
was wondering if you would be kind enough to 'unprotect' the James Rhodes (pianist) page so people can update with more recent information. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glenngouldfan (talk • contribs) 10:48, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- I would support this. The ANI report ended with User:WordSeventeen being blocked for Wikihounding/harassing me, and seems to be universal support that the content being added is acceptable, and not a BLP violation like they claimed. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- User:Joseph2302 and User:Glenngouldfan. Done. This is really akward with no Internet and only the data on the phone. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:44, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Middayexpress "retired"
I want to notify you that user:Middayexpress is now "RETIRED", following some investigations (be informed that there it is also an investigation that is being done even on the website of Mappista59; read: [29] ) and complaints on ANI (you can also vote on Middayexpress "ban" here: [30]).
