EC Protection for Hamis Kiggundu[change source]

This article is the global target of a very large sock farm consisting of undeclared pair editors. It has been going on for a long while in many WMF sites. It would be appreciated if you would protect the Simple article in the same manner as the enwiki article, please. Timtrent (talk) 07:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-admin comment - This article has barely been touched compared to the en article so not really seeing a need to protect here, also Simple doesn't protect pages like en either, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 09:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should have said "Part of the global target" I apologise. Nonetheless Kiggundu related articles have been greatly "embellished" here in the past. Many named socks have been globally locked, which reduced the impact.

Perhaps admins here should simply become aware. Timtrent (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I trust you but on Wikipedia:Transwiki attribution when referring to articles it says "Any user can request an import by an admin at the administrators' noticeboard." Is the article wrong or is it me? Goose Green, 1982 (talk) 20:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually we don't import articles because the version being imported isn't in a simple format. They need to be translated into simple English. fr33k man 21:04, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the process to import the article then translate it? Goose Green, 1982 (talk) 15:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, not in practice. Read WP:CW for a tutorial on how we do it here. The page you've referenced is wrong. fr33k man 16:18, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Goose Green, 1982, I've checked the Import log and as you can see here they're all Templates, Modules and 1 Wikt link so I would say that page you linked is wrong - If article importing is a thing then I've never seen it be done but I maybe wrong (the next page shows 4 articles but aren't page creations), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I noticed that Template:GFDL have disclaimers and per en:Wikipedia:GFDL standardization disclaimers should be avoided. Since most of the files are spoken articles they should have the same license as the articles on Wikipedia. So we could argue that it was a mistake to add the disclaimers and that they could be removed.

I also noticed that many of the files are also on Commons. So the local file could be deleted. Perhaps someone could have a look and decide what to do? --MGA73 (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP making edits and then reverting themselves immediately after[change source]

Hi, So we have an IP 2.98.119.86 who copypastes from en and then reverts themselves immediately after - I know some accounts do this in order to gain autoconfirmed/Extended confirmed status but I didn't know if there was any reason why the IP is doing it?,

Hi, Could the following pages be indef protected please?

Many thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 19:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010 I admittedly did not go through every one of them, but the ones I went through have no vandalism. Pages are generally not protected pre-emptively. Also, I don't believe that non-autoconfirmed users are able to edit user pages anyways (because of an edit filter) and there would no point in semi-protection (assuming your not suggesting full as then you can't edit). Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian You are not an administrator. You have no need to reply to requests like this. Also user pages can be protected, and it is possible for IPs to edit user subpages (I just did it to test). 136.152.209.22 (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And...nor are you. You can edit subpages, not the actual userpage itself. And please undo any test edit. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Yes I know that. I wouldn't have commented here if you hadn't done so. I see you have been informed before about comments in RFP's being unnecessary. The user subpages can also be vandalized and "no pre-emptive protection" doesn't apply to user or talk pages. I undid the test edit. 136.152.209.22 (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello...This is not an RFP...and no pre-emptive protection, unless you can show me otherwise seems like it applies everywhere with few exceptions Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Do you really have nothing better to do than sticking your nose in places that don't concern you?. Like you're not even an admin here so why do you feel the need to comment here ?

I wanted these protected as A) In a few days time I'll be requesting an indef block here and B) my archives have previously been targetted by IPs and as such I would rather leave here with the knowledge and hope everything will be preserved,

These aren't used anywhere and they don't require updates so there's no reason not to protect them, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 22:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"In a few days time I'll be requesting an indef block here" don't leave, please? You understand the vandal wins if they drive you away @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 23:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words but it's not the IP I'm bothered about - It's Auntof6 and her actions, I was blocked for 24 hours for using the words "god damn" and calling the vandal IP a moron and then because I replied on my talkpage that "[She's] Clutching at straws in order to block me is sad and rather pathetic" earned me a talkpage access revocation,

If we're going to block people for using words like "god damn" and "idiot" as well as refuse to block vandal IPs on the basis that "they've been insufficiently warned" despite it being plain as day the IP is not here to contribute to this encyclopedia then yeah I want no further part of this project.

I appreciate the latter may not be "policy" but the IP in question makes the same vandal edits again and again which is why they're on a 3rd/4th block ..... I don't have the mental patience to go through the warning system for a vandal who clearly only uses this place to vandalise and whos also the same person,

The sad part is since my Commons block I've tried addressing and adjusting my incivility and tried to be more calmer and also tried using the word fuck less often ... all to no avail. I tried. –Davey2010^Talk 23:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we refuse to block people who had not been sufficently warned. If you want to change that, ignoring the policy is not how to go about it. I also find it, err, interesting that one of your reasons for being unblocked on Commons was insufficent warning, but whatever.

Anyways remember when I said that I disagree with you being blocked for 24 hours? Looking at your history on Commons and enwiki I'd say maybe it was too short. You are on your 8th block on Commons and enwiki.

In the future, please try to address your incivility by being civil. Thank you.

But this is not a reason to leave. Unless a civility policy is truly too much to handle (which I doubt), I see no reason why you can't work on it and remain a helpful member of simplewiki. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 02:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"we refuse to block people who had not been sufficently warned" Well if that were the case then the 2 previous blocking admins would've declined my report ... so that's a lie.

Difference was I'm not a vandal ... I didn't vandalise the project and then say "I've been insufficiently warned".... I get your point but if this guy wasn't a vandal and was making good-but-clumsy edits then of course I'd warn them repeatedly/80 times if I had too,

FYI, All of my blocks on EN and Commons have centered around my usage of the word fuck (fuck off, no fucks given) .... Did I use the word fuck in my reply at VIP? No. Did I replace the word fuck with god damn? Yes. If that's not addressing my incvility issue I don't know what is!, My reply was full of rage sure but it was hardly incivil and hardly deserved a block over and most certainly didn't deserve tpa over,

If civility policies were too much to handle don't you think I would've left EN 10 years ago ?.... I accept irrespective of my views, we have en:Wikipedia:Comment on the content, not the contributor for a reason, so for the moron comment a warning would've sufficed .... but I refuse to be a part of a project where you can be blocked for using non-offensive words like "god damn" .... and then hilariously have your TPA revoked over calling their actions sad/pathetic,

Anyway all of this is irrelevant to my above post, Have a great day. –Davey2010^Talk 11:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're not a vandal, yes. That is not free-license to do anything at all you want. It is not the case that or a few sets of words/phrases are the only possible incivil things. What is addressing your incivility issue is by replacing things that are uncivil with this that are actually civil themselves (or just removing the uncivil things to begin with). "a warning would've sufficed" if you hadn't been blocked 16 times for some sort of incivility elsewhere. "god damn" can be offensive, by the way.

Also what times were they blocked without sufficient warning. The May 24 they had plenty of warnings but just blanked in between, May 29 I gave them a final warning, June 6 was Vandalism within 1 day of being unblocked (which I believe doesn't require warnings), and thats it.

Also, to cite enwiki for you, NPA is not free-license to avoid people acting based on a long pattern of yours.

Anyways, I hope you don't leave. Here's an idea:Don't type when your angry. It never ends well. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010 and Me Da Wikipedian: All

Done. For what it's worth, user pages can be protected at the user's discretion, and that may be pre-emptive or not. I appreciate that hasn't been written in policy, I've just boldly updated it to reflect standard practice. With this whole situation, both sides made mistakes, and I sincerely hope we can move on and not lose either valued contributor through this. --Ferien (talk) 17:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. @Ferien Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ferien, Many thanks I greatly appreciate your help,

I don't know why but I assumed I had to go through levels 1-5 each time when in fact I can just level 5/6 them each time - still relatively pointless but at least it's not wasting much time as if you were doing 1-5 each time,

@Me Da Wikipedian I've just checked and they were blocked without warning on the 6th June, Thing is though I've also had a vandals IP rangeblocked on different IPs whom have not recieved warnings after blocks either and again this wasn't queried/questioned by anyone, Maybe it's just been assumed I have warned them and because of that I've just assumed my way has been okay when in fact it hasn't and I've just not known that,

Maybe the TPA revoc was a blessing in disguise, maybe they did that to keep me around and I just didn't know :), Anyway we live and we learn, I'll do better going forward, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I assumed I had to go through levels 1-5 each time when in fact I can just level 5/6 them each time" - There are only 4 level of warnings. Confused. Vandalism within 1 day of being unblocked is (I believe) a valid reason to block without warnings.

"the TPA revoc was a blessing in disguise, maybe they did that to keep me around" - Could you explain?

"I'll do better going forward" - Thank you.

If a user wants to leave then it is normal for them to just leave, as many of our number have done over the years. :) fr33k man 00:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. Only warning is instead of the normal warning process. And what would be 6? A VIP report? Normally you should not do only warnings or VIP reports first though. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
