AN3/Voremph

I've posted a response to your decision here. Could you reconsider your decision please. As explained in my response, I find it difficult to understand your rationale that the fourth diff wasn't a revert for the purposes of 3RR. But more than that, I really don't understand your rationale for full page protection. Voremph was trying to force through a change to the article through his 4 reverts/edits. I only reverted once and UCaetano only reverted twice. I did not revert him again and left his edit in place when I reported him to AN3. UCaetano had not reverted since earlier in the day. Other than from Voremph, where was the threat of edit-warring that required full protection coming from? If you believe that Voremph's fourth edit wasn't a revert and he wasn't edit-warring, then, by that estimation, no one was edit-warring at all! DeCausa (talk) 09:03, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Also, please note this update to my response. There is absolutely nothing "personal" going on here - at least from my side. DeCausa (talk) 09:24, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I would also appreciate it if you would take a look at the thread on this in the article talk page (Talk:Iran#Government of Iran) where the user's behaviour has become increasingly disruptive over the course of today. DeCausa (talk) 21:34, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hello and thank you for your edits. I take on board your comment that the IP vandal 202.137.241.195 did not warrant any action being taken as the nine previous cautions given on his or her talk page were insufficient unless the IP user vandalized after a level 4 warning.

However, with regard to your earlier point for me to not report such vandalism unless there is a level 4 warning, would you nevertheless agree that each admin's decision is personal and an admin may indeed decide to take a look at the long-term picture to see if there is clear evidence of long-term vandalism taking place, which may not have actually triggered a level 4 warning but which nevertheless indicates a pattern of long-term vandalism.

If you decide not to take any action against somebody with numerous cautions over a long-term basis, including recent cautions given in October 2015, then that is absolutely your right to make that decision and one that I fully respect.

However, the point I would make is that other admin do sometimes look upon things differently, as each decision is personal by each admin. And I did note that another admin appeared to agree with my analysis of long-term vandalism by issuing a 3 month block against the IP user, despite the vandal not making any further edits after I reported the issue to admin.

My contributions to the AIV thread were of course purely intended to attempt to reduce long-term vandalism, whilst at the same time respecting each decision that any admin chooses to make.

The 3 month block which has now been issued to the IP vandal demonstrates that admin each take their own personal decision based on what they believe the evidence to be. Hopefully we can continue to both fully respect each other's contributions in the desire to reduce long-term vandalism. Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kind Tennis Fan: Welp. Normally I wouldn't say anything to something like this ridiculous attempt at a victory lap, but I've had a bit of a day, so what the hell – let's dance.

It's one thing to come here to ask something like, "Why didn't you block the IP/user I reported?" I'm always happy to explain any action or lack of action on my part, and I would have been happy to go into more detail with you if you had asked. It's another thing entirely to try and bait an admin into either questioning the actions of another admin or starting a wheel war (never gonna happen with me).

Therefore, the point I would make is that you don't 'fully respect my decision' not to block the IP, since you decided to come all the way over here and call me out on it after Materialscientist decided to block (his block is fine – I simply think that if you're going to talk about someone, you should do it with their knowledge instead of whispering 'another admin').

Since you're here and your comment clearly indicates you want some kind of response, here's some advice, so you don't dig yourself deeper into the hole you've managed to make: stop getting your feelings hurt when an AIV report or RFPP or any other request for admin action is declined for whatever reason, and stop going onto someone's talk page to call them out for doing/not doing the things you don't like/like. It's unbecoming and it's definitely not "kind." Katie^talk 00:54, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm afraid you have completely misinterpreted the points I was making. It's unfortunate, but that's life. Sometimes when there are just words on a computer screen and not the usual visual and audio forms of communication such as tone of voice and body language, words can sometimes get misinterpreted in the wrong way. My entire ethos is based on collaboration, politeness and civility and working with others in a respectful way to make Wikipedia an improved project with reliable sources that people can have confidence in and a reduction in the vandalism that regrettably spoils many articles. I certainly have no desire at all to bait anybody. It is simply not something that I would ever want to do and I have no desire to be critical of others or "call out" any admin. I respect everybody's individual decisions. It's unfortunate that you got the wrong impression. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 03:07, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Katie, you should have received an email with a link to a Google form to complete - could you please either do so or email me if you did not receive it? Because there are more applicants than available accounts, not responding could result in your slot being passed to a waiting editor - please feel free to re-apply later if that happens.

WP:PERM

Hey! Per WP:PERM/R#User:Chevvin, I wasn't sure if you knew that Huggle requires rollback. It's arguably the most powerful of the semi-automated tools, or at least can cause the most damage if misused. Just a friendly note :) Hope you are doing well, sorry to hear of your recent loss. My condolences and best wishes ♥ — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:34, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

@Chevvin: Thank you for your kind thoughts. Never used Huggle, but I did use Twinkle way back in the day, and it doesn't require rollback and it gives you options as well. Honestly, all rollback is is a little link that says 'rollback' in the diff and the edit history. Twinkle does the same thing except it doesn't let you do it from the page history (AFAIK). I kept the 'rollback' option of Twinkle enabled for years after I got my mop, though I don't anymore. To be clear, I'm not opposed to giving you rollback in a month or so if you have some solid reports to AIV in the meantime. Thanks again.  :-) Katie^talk 21:47, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Katie, this message was from me, MusikAnimal... :) I was pointing out how you said in your deline of Chevvin's request that Meanwhile, you can use Twinkle or Huggle, where Huggle does not apply as it requires rollback. Nonetheless I'm sure Chevvin appreciates the further explanation you've made here. Sorry for the confusion! — MusikAnimal ^talk 02:05, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal: Thanks very much for clarifying, and for your kindness. My head isn't where it should be sometimes these days. But I'll get there. :-) Katie^talk 02:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thanks and questions about my unblock

KrakatoaKatie, I am the user previously known as Againstdisinformation. I have noted that you supported my unblock and I woukd like to express my gratitude as well as my condolences for the loss you have recently suffered. I am no longer young and I have, not so long ago, lost the one person who gave meaning to my life, so that I can feel empathy. Setting these personal considerations aside, I have two questions that I hope you will have the kindness to answer. The first one concerns the pictures of Victoria Nuland on my talk page. You stated on AN that "That photo thing was atrocious". It is true that it was in poor taste, but the most relevant fact is that they were placed there by another editor. I was only guilty of replying to that editor that I found them funny and then proceed to forget about them. How would you react if I were to place them on your talk page and you were subsequently indefinitely blocked for failing to remove them? Why was that editor never asked a single question? Why did she never confirm that I had never asked for these images? Surely, it must be a greater offence to place them on someone else's page than merely receiving them without ever having asked for them. Where is Justice? The second question concerns my username. I chose it, not to "irritate" anyone, but rather as a statement of principle, making clear to everyone the task I had assigned myself. For example, ridding Wikipedia of groundless innuendos made by some editors about political figures they dislike. Such as: X was an opponent of Y, X was murdered on Y's birthday therefore, either Y ordered the murder or else, it was a present to him. I had already stated numerous times that I wanted to change that username, since I had come to think it was an ill-advised choice I had made on the spur of the moment. Whence, since I was freely stating that I wished to do so, came the necessity to impose the change on me as a humiliating condition for my unblock? I hope that you will not take offence, but I have the unpleasant feeling that my human dignity has been trampled, and this is not an easy thing to swallow for an old man. Γνῶθι σεαυτόν (talk) 21:42, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

@Γνῶθι σεαυτόν: If you wanted to be unblocked for some kind of vengeance over having your dignity trampled, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your quest isn't going to be successful. Vanjagenije unblocked you so you could contribute to the encyclopedia. That means writing articles. Stay away from the talk page drama and stop trying to make a statement of principle. Listen, I'm probably as old as you are, and I can get along here just fine when people insult me (and admins get the worst of it). Grow a thicker skin or disengage. That's my advice. Katie^talk 18:34, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

@Γνῶθι σεαυτόν: Let me cite Bernie Sanders: "people 'are sick of hearing about your damn Victoria Nuland pictures". Vanjagenije (talk) 18:41, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

KrakatoaKatie, I am not seeking any kind of "vengeance", and I want this to be absolutely clear. I would appreciate it if people did not attribute lightly such contemptible feelings to me. Had I been seeking revenge, I would have brought the case to ANI. I just want to know why Toddy1 was never asked any question, when it seems it was the obvious thing to do. As I told you, I am grateful to you and to Vanjagenije for supporting my unblock. If you find anything wrong with my editing, please let me know with a gentle voice. Almost anything can be obtained from me in this way, while addressing me in an overbearing tone achieves generally nothing. As I told you, I am no longer young and I appreciate polite exchanges of ideas, not conflict as some editors have suggested. As for writing articles, I have been doing that as an I.P. for a long time. Writing a scientific article under the username "Againstdisinformation" would have been ludicrous. I chose that username only after reading articles on current affairs which were less than neutral, some of them containing outright fallacies. Regards.

Rollback

Hello. I did heed advice to sign up for the CVU, but guess what? My trainer went inactive. Also, please take a look at the user's edits at Abu Qatada. Since I didn't have a proper template, I mistakenly chose the one most related to the issue. He was blanking sections because he didn't find the source reliable, which it was.The StormCatcher (talk) 06:02, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

@CatcherStorm: Yeah, the CVU people aren't exactly active these days. Basically, with a couple of months of contributions to AIV, we'll reconsider. Rollback is granted for counter-vandalism work only, so do counter-vandalism work. :-) Katie^talk 18:27, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Block ?

How can you block an editor like me? with 17.000 edits in 6 months !! No one on Wikipedia has so many edits in this short period !--Alexiulian25 (talk) 15:20, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Check also what Eldumpo did to so many articles, he never add a word, just delete !! Like this Wikipedia will run out of aticles !--Alexiulian25 (talk) 15:22, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

It is not possible, you have to implement a rule for this, at list a period of warning, every editor to know that he has to improve his work, not to come back on Wikipedia and see all your work or other people work ruined because of an editor like Eldumpo !!--Alexiulian25 (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@Alexiulian25: You've received the required warnings. Nobody cares about how many edits you've made in however much time. They care that you stop attacking other editors. Don't do it again. Katie^talk 15:25, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, I understand about me, what are you going to say to Eldumpo ? He provoked me, he deleted many many things on Wikipedia, check his history, he just deletes, no improving, it is this normal behaviour ?--Alexiulian25 (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

He isn't making personal attacks. You are. Katie^talk 15:40, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

The number of edits are irrelevant especially since all you do is clogg up article history with 50 edits a day on the same article instead of making fewer but bigger edits. Your real "edit count" would probably be 10% of your number. And as Katie says, it is not about the number it is the very poor behaviour. Qed237 (talk) 15:59, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@KrakatoaKatie: This is the final straw, Alexiulian25 continues to insult Eldumpo in his native language here Google translation here. This is crossing the line. JMHamo (talk) 16:20, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Katie! Just dropping by to say hello...I'm not sure if you remember butttt for a couple of months in early 2011 you were my admin coach until I had a little mishap (5 years ago, now???).

Rollback request on PERM

Hi Katie. I see that CatcherStorm has applied for rollback again on Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback. I declined the first request, and you declined the second one. However, he incorrectly claimed that he now has 1700 mainspace edits (he actually has about 650) and also seems to insinuate that he has finished CVUA training, which I see no evidence of. (I did some research, and he has completed some stages of training, but I see no official certification from his trainer that he has completed the entire program.) Finally, he states that he asked administrator Anthony Bradbury if he should apply for rollback, and he states that Anthony gave the go-ahead. However, I looked at the actual discussion on Anthony's talk page (the "Should I apply for rollback now?" thread at the bottom), and he actually did not. In fact, he told CatcherStorm to wait for another couple of weeks before applying again. I was also rather unsettled by the wording of his last request, since he seems to be very focused on accumulating rights, so that he can move toward his "ultimate goal of becoming an administrator." Anyway, I wanted to ask you what your opinion on the matter is, since you declined his last request just two weeks ago. (This is his third request in less than a month!) Biblioworm 19:01, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@Biblioworm: I saw that one, and left it alone precisely for this reason, so somebody else could look at it. Is he the one who 'desperately' needed rollback? I can't remember. I don't think he has enough AIV work, and I told him to do counter-vandalism for a couple of months right here on this page just a week ago. Canvassing really turns me off. Let's ask MusikAnimal and Beeblebrox what they think because CatcherStorm doesn't want to know what I think right now. Katie^talk 20:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Clearly not ready, which I think we can all agree on. I don't like to be harsh, so I tried not to be. Feel free to chime in if you have more to add. Best — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I personally think Spshu should have been indeffed because he has a long-term pattern of disruptive edit warring.

If you have a draft, submit it to Articles for creation. They'll assess it according to WP:MUSICBIO, which clearly states the musician must have notability independent of the band. I don't know if that's the case, and you've made no attempt to gain consensus that it is. In any event, edit warring about it is not acceptable. Katie^talk 00:21, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Longer block for using a sockpuppet to continue to edit war

Rollback rights for Zppix

You granted User:Zppix the rollback right yesterday. This user has only been active for two months and in my opinion is not experienced enough for the revert button. I am requesting that you review his or her edit history. I'm mentioning this because of a recent incident in which Zppix made an inappropriate revert and left a level three vandalism warning on an IP's page. The IP's edit had no edit summary, but it was not only not vandalism, but was actually a needed edit that I reinstated. The IP had no previous warnings and no previous edit history.

• Revert [2]
• Warning on IP's page [3]
• Discussion of incident [4]

I wouldn't have brought this up if I and others had not noticed other instances where Zppix has made inappropriate reverts, jumped straight to high level warnings for minor infractions, given unjustified warnings. or made mistakes in article review, speedy deletion or prod decisions. See [5] and [6] for examples that are still on the user's talk page. There are many more examples in the archived portion of his or her page. Meters (talk) 19:38, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
if your talking about the revert i made after i got my rights that was an accident and i personally aplogized for it privately. I've been with wikipedia for utmost a year. I am human, everyone even ADMINS, make mistakes.Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 20:08, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

@Zppix: Your use of rollback has been inappropriate at times. I gave it to you, and I'm seriously considering revoking it. You need to read WP:VANDAL closely – particularly WP:NOTVANDAL – stop giving {{uw-vandalism3}} warnings for first time offenders, and slow down with the rollback button.

Yes, administrators make mistakes, and we're held accountable. This is a perfect example. I do not like being made a fool of, and I feel your actions and reactions are close to that. Take more care in what you're doing or stop doing it period. Katie^talk 20:17, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Zppix, you didn't restore the edit, remove the warning, or reply to the IP's concerns raised on both your talk and the IP's page. All of this should have been done in the case of an error. Mistakes happen, but there seem to be too many of them. My concerns remain, particularly given your response to polite feedback on your talk page, such as this. When several different experienced editors have taken the time to point out on your talk page that you are making mistakes, you should listen. Meters (talk) 20:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

An aside... The Archive bot seems to be acting up. The past talk page history I referred to was archived, bu the archive link does not show up on the talk page. Meters (talk) 20:26, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see your response before fully protecting that page for a day. I hope that's ok but please feel free to undo. Didn't mean to step on your toes. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:47, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

@Panyd: No, you're good. I almost did that, but it's a GA, there's no consensus to drastically change the lede like that, and I figured the AN3 regulars would be able to sort out any socking. It's a tough call - could go either way with it. :-) Katie^talk 20:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Vandals are the bad guys

Block THEM next time, and stop picking on the people trying to help. 85.210.182.11 (talk) 13:40, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Do you mind reverting the lock you placed on Atlanta United FC

Do you mind reverting the lock you placed on Atlanta United FC until the lock vandal has been resolved? The anon has been blocked so there's no need for it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:29, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Sure. On it. Katie^talk 23:30, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Did you see what I did? An offensive image and some 9-11 conspiracy theory stuff? I made a minor change to the template and it went away. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah! WTF? The template history is clear, so I don't understand. I speak a little bit of template but that was whack and I hate that it was my edit that put it in. Damn. Katie^talk 23:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Spshu's unblock request and following comments here are a personal attack against me. I think you should revoke his talk page access. ElectricBurst^{(Electron firings)}_(Zaps) 20:17, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
