Hello, I received a warning on my talk page for edit warring over Syrian Chemical weapons. I'm afraid that is not what the "edit war" was about. It was related to page MintPress News where the one user Sayerslle on the page was only citing negative blogs that were not reliable sources, wrote the entire page for the MintPress website based on one of their articles they published a year ago about chemical weapons and inserted his opinions (you can see the talk page and revision history) and I was advocating to make the page more neutral by proving both negative, positive and neutral coverage. I'm happy to say that was achieved after a month of "edit warring" and an editor intervened and agreed with me. But, I am not familiar with the Syrian chemical weapons affair nor do I care much for it, I was simply trying to cite reliable sources. Thanks, just wanted to clarify what the issue was. isabellabean ( talk) 10:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isabellabean ( talk • contribs)
As I predicted, User: BioDude73 is still continuing to edit war adding the hoax content to Alonzo Holt, now logging out to use the same IP address they were using before. Can you just perform the block, rather then me go through WP:ANEW? The user also claims to be the subject as seen here. Either way, the content still being thrusted into the article is factually incorrect in a way to advertise or promote the subject. STATic message me! 22:20, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978 and Miniapolis To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Hi there, you sent me a message about not referencing or stating sources to an article that I changed. It was a biography of a living person. I have the sources, but I dont know how to link it to the article. Can you please let me know how i Should do that

I apply to check whether user Kamakatsu ( talk) is another ID of user Banzaiblitz ( talk). Banzaiblitz uses lots of IDs in different article and now for talk page of Nanking Massacre, there is a new ID to support Banzaiblitz. This new ID was registered today and claim he is not Banzaiblitz. Hence, I apply to a user check. Thank you. Miracle dream ( talk) 23:42, 22 February 2014
Hi you were the administrator who investigated the sock puppetry of Golden Prime and I appreciate your effort to maintain order in Wikipedia.
I just patrolled the page Tiger versus lion again and found Fightcats recently made some lengthy nonconstructive edits using similar invalid materials by Golden Prime after the block of his sock/meat puppetry EasyTherePilgrim. I just did a Google search using the keywords appearing in EasyTherePilgrim's edits as his claims and actions were very unusual for a new user like citing Ken Spiro source/claiming the article was based on Martial's invalid opinions (which is not - none of the sources in the article is based on Martial and they are mostly independent sources), and I found that Golden Prime made a lengthy post in a forum a few days after block on Feb 3, attacking and posting links to our Tiger versus lion article and making all the false claims EasyTherePilgrim has trying to push - this explained all the unusual actions of EasyTherePilgrim like his ( Ken Spiro/Martia source pushing and all our sources being invalid claims) and the fact that EasyTherePilgrim picked up at Tiger versus lion on Feb 3, which was exactly the date Golden Prime attacked our article in that forum, can hardly be a coincidence he claimed in his block appeal. In the same thread there you can also see another active poster Fightcats pushing Golden Prime's materials as well. In fact Golden Prime and Fightcats have been posting in that attack thread since 2012 but Golden Prime escalated his attack on our article and editors on Feb 3 2014.
So EasyTherePilgrim, Fightcats & Golden Prime are all related as they originate from the same attack site. Does Wikipedia allow me to post the link of that "attack site" here? Besides, as the sock puppetry investigation of Golden Prime has closed, should I open another sock puppetry/meat puppetry investigation of Fightcats? Thanks a lot.

I see you are an administrator.If you are an administrator, can you administer the discussion of Nanking Massacre in its talk page? This discussion is totally mess. I hope there is at least two administrator to administer it for fair.
It is really a mess and endless discussion if no administrator to manage it. I hope at least two administrator to manage this. There will be no result to make everyone satisfactory. I hope there is a vote which is managed by administrator. Otherwise, this discussion will be endless. Everyone is wasting their time. This discussion started from section "I see a significant change of the figure about people killed in this Massacre".
Since you warned me and Kwamikagami to not edit war on the MOS, could you revert this edit from him [1]? This has no consensus, and the matter is currently under RFC and at TfD. I'm tired of Kwamikagami's constant POV-pushing and forum-shopping. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:29, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Could you tell Kwamikagami to stop his pointy behaviour? Stradivarius closed the {{ val2}} deletion discussion and deleted/moved it to the sandbox. where before Kwamikagami's was to use AWB to convert {{ val}} to {{ val2}}, now he's going on an AWB rampage to change the use of {{ val}} to {{ +-}} [e.g. [2]], claiming "MOS compliance". This is pointy behaviour of the highest order, and makes it a pain in the ass to maintain articles because whenever the RfC on val will close, we'll have to either go through Kwamikagami's edit history and mass revert him, or go on an AWB spree of our own to undo the damage. Warn him, block him, I don't care, but please do something. Or I can take it to ANI if you prefer. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
If you are endorsing the investigation against Toby,who is blatantly obvious not me and any check will confirm this, perhaps you can at least take a look at this, which has been left alone for days [3] -- MyMoloboaccount ( talk) 19:16, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Please do, the user users the same arguments, phrases, sentences and sources. Please take note that were numerous banned sockpuppets of EPM including IP's(they are listed in previous cases). See example of almost identical sentences used
This case has taken so many days, It would be good to see it resolved. -- MyMoloboaccount ( talk) 09:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Feel free to check my IP and my history, I'm not a sock puppet of anyone. Just because I've used evidence which is already mentioned in the talk pages of related articles does not make me a sock puppet. It really makes me wonder why you won't dispute with me and constantly just report me and accuse me of sock puppetry, I've opened discussions on the talk pages, why not discuss? There is ample amounts of evidence to support what I am saying, I have not removed anything without reason, I mean see the here, its not that what you are saying is wrong or is disputed but rather that it does not belong to be there or is already mentioned, e.g "The Nazis because of this declared Slavs to be untermenschen (subhumans)" - Poles are Slavs, there is no need to repeat the info. Just because you simply don't like the fact I question some text that was placed into articles that is wrong does not make me a sock puppet. You have added incorrect text into articles, of course this will be removed, why don't respond to me on talk pages such as [4] and [5]?-- Windows66 ( talk) 16:49, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I remember not too long ago, a couple weeks, there was some pages being created about Asian gangs, and this spilled over to other articles. I've recently seen two new articles, Sindikat0, and 0xo. I'm reluctant to do anything, and would like to defer to someone who is familiar with the case. Any ideas? Sportfan5000 ( talk) 00:00, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Callanecc, you recently blocked 207.34.229.196 ( talk · contribs) for warring at Ahir, following a report at WP:AN3. They're back trying to make exactly the same poor edits, despite me initiating discussions at Talk:Ahir#Ragas and Talk:Ahir#The_People_of_India. I also think it likely that they are 199.71.244.137 ( talk · contribs), who is making the same edits and would equate with a home/work socking from Ontario. What's to do? I've just had to self-revert because I may have breached 3RR. - Sitush ( talk) 12:42, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Callanecc, could you take a look at User talk:Wraith808? They got caught up in the 216.52.207.64/26 rangeblock, which they say is a corporate network, rather than an open proxy.

Hello Callanec,
I corresponded with you recently about the article on Richard Horowitz. You restored it with the condition that I put up all the sources. I have since been making a list of the appropriate sources to cite them correctly. Prior to me being able to insert the sources, another moderator deleted the article. Could you please restore the article so I can insert the sources?

Hi Callanecc. I don't think the IP 62.44.135.196 and its IP sock are Vgleer puppets. The named account is, but imo, the page Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/62.44.135.196 when referring to the two IPs should be separate from the Vgleer SPI. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 18:03, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Callanecc, the articles 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine and 2014 Crimean crisis would obviously fall under the WP:ARBEE discretionary sanctions, but I'm not sure if, as a non-administrator, I'm allowed to place a notice on the talk pages? Or if an admin would be required? If so, I'd love it if you were able to help! Both articles are, for obvious reasons, being heatedly edited by editors with more or less open convictions supporting either side of the conflict.
I'm writing because I see you were the admin who gave notice to Talk:Svoboda (political party), which I've been editing a lot, recently. - Darouet ( talk) 19:56, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Can this article be restored? Your deletion reasoning was related to it being linked to the AfD for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of programmes broadcast by Disney Channel (Australia and New Zealand), but obviously this is neither an ANZ network or a Disney Channel network, so I think it's an inadvertent deletion. Thanks. Nate • ( chatter) 03:01, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found
here. According to the procedures, a "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action. To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sections but should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see WP:UNINVOLVED).
Statement by <Kafkasmurat>I'm now thinking that first settlers' reign at politically controversial articles. Isn't that weird Armenia- Azerbaijan related articles has so many interference? The owners of Armenia related articles don't allow anything to do. Nearly all of talk page edits are reverted. How will we become a free encyclopedia with ethnic struggles? I didn't harm Wikipedia. I just offended the owners. We should examine the right to requests_for_arbitration of users like Étienne Dolet, who specialized at ethnic manipulation. I was just providing information with sources. I'didn't attack anyone. Just told that all of the users edits are anti-Turkish. It's not attack, it's fact. I appeal the sanctions, to be lifted.-- Kafkasmurat ( talk) 10:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Statement by <Callanecc>Statement by (involved editor 1)Statement by (involved editor 2)Discussion among uninvolved editors about the appeal by <Kafkasmurat>Result of the appeal by <Kafkasmurat>

Hi there, would you be prepared to have another look at the block of User:Parrot_of_Doom. As mentioned on that thread, I'd agree that the stuff POD was reverting was a clear BLP violation (not to mention that it comes from a user with a history of dubious sourcing and borderline racist diatribe; I really don't think that article is one that an editor who thinks that "Wikipedia is a platform for Islamic extremism" should be editing anyway...). Thanks, Black Kite ( talk) 14:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
I think you made a mistake imposing a topic ban at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Tom Butler without even addressing the canvassing that occurred in this case. There really is the appearance that a half dozen editors who focus on pseudoscientific topics can get anyone who opposes them topic banned or blocked for "disruptive" behavior (defined as disagreement). I can't think of another subject area on Wikipedia where 6 or 7 editors have the power to get editors who don't agree with them kicked out. And people wonder why editors with a neutral point of view have avoided editing certain articles...no one wants to contradict the small majority and get blocked. If not at SPI, then at AN/I or AE. IMHO. Liz Read! Talk! 15:59, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I'm here because I've noticed you have banned one user Atsme for an edit war for actions on Anjem Choudary. I would like ask you to consider futher investigation. It's not that I disagree with the ban but I question if there's a balance of fairness in this ban. This is the second edit war with many of the same people involved. The previous one took place on 2/24/14. At this point I do not feel that an edit war is the only disruptive editing taking place. With that I'm not sure this ban will effectively do anything but prevent one user from editing for 36 hours. Serialjoepsycho ( talk) 18:26, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm just saying that only one thing was addressed. I'm asking you to get involved in any content dispute. I think behavoir on both ends may have lead to this. I think it does need to be addressed. I could have been a major contributing factor. I don't think I have but I could have been. I'd just ask you consider the over all situation and see if you feel anything else should be addressed.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 I've been trying to improve this article in a real way for some time but it continually devolves into frustrating, nitpicking issues with a few of the users. Now a user has gone through the article and removed all the references to the airline's press releases, claiming that they are dynamic primary sources, and that as primary sources they should not be used. I think they are reputable and I have not been interpreting them.
I'm relatively new but I think I'm following the rules and assuming good faith, but the article just cannot be maintained the way it is.

This is weird. You announced a block [10] and the user hasn't edited since [11] but there is nothing in the block log. [12] This was pointed out to me by another user [13] and I did the usual cache clearing, so I don't think I am seeing an old version.
No harm is occurring and there doesn't seem to be any need to take any sort of action, but I am curious as to whether the log has some sort of bug, there was an error in the blocking (which might mean that a typo blocked someone else) or whether I am wrong about the cache and am looking at on old version. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 17:01, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Callenecc,
You recently protected template:like. But I can't for the life of me figure out what makes it a WP:HRT aNd your edit summary wasn't very enlightening. I also didn't see a request for protection and there hadn't been like an ongoing vandalism problem that I'm aware of. I'm no template expert but if I understand correctly this template is transcluded only 941 times and I feel like if that makes a template "high risk" then there are not very many templates that are low-risk. Thanks! AgnosticAphid talk 06:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Callan, it's generally preferable to leave high-profile articles like this unprotected as far as possible, and to protect it only for short spells if protection is necessary, because it's thought that articles on breaking news events help to recruit new editors, and because many IPs have constructive edits to offer even if there is a bit of disruption. Would you consider unprotecting it? Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Callanecc, you mentioned in your notification on my Talk Page that I could bring up any questions, so I wanted to run something by you. Keeping my edits to Sheldrake at a minimum still resulted in profound hostility, and even abstaining from the page has not stopped harassing behavior ( especially with 76). I was in the process of dealing with this problematic conduct by certain Sheldrake editors (this included those from my ANI and potential future actions against 76) and had hoped to pursue means to resolve this kind of problem in the future. However, now I am worried that the broad scope of the warning against me (ie. "a very low bar") will make it easy for any action I take, regardless of its legitimacy, to be labelled as disruptive and used to block me. I feel there are issues that should be addressed, both in terms of personal attacks against me and inappropriate conduct on certain articles, but I want to pursue these through the proper channels without being blocked. Do you have any advice? The Cap'n ( talk) 23:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello Callanecc. I was wondering if you might be able to protect a page for me? I was hoping you could add semi protection to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The request is two-fold: the film is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the films garner high page views and are very susceptible to vandalism. This film premiered tonight, and will be releasing shortly, so given experience, the IP vandals will be out in full force. I am hoping to prevent that before it starts (as has been done on recent MCU films before their release). I know protections should not be punitive, but these edits will prevent the hard working editors like myself, from adequately adding the necessary info for when it releases. The second reason, is a sequel date was revealed today as well, so that will most likely bring in more vandals. I hope you will make this request. If I may suggest, protection through the end of April should be sufficient. If you aren't willing to go with semiprotection, could pending changes protection be an option? Thank you very much for the consideration and help. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 06:26, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
Could you check #118855 at ACC? A huge number of requests have come from that IP in last couple of months. Tito☸ Dutta 17:46, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
You reinstated vandalism from repeat IP vandals/socks/SPAs on Registered Agent article citing "looks like advertising for them." I'm not sure what "advertising" benefit would be derived - all of the Big 3/4/5, etc. companies have articles and the section now has orphan links from Big Four. I was using other Big Fours as a precedent. Shouldn't Big_Four_(audit_firms) and Big_Three_(management_consultancies), etc. also then be deleted as "advertising?" Or ? I wish to learn more since maybe I mo understand. If I have citation saying that the top three soft drinks are Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper, and state that, is that advertising? Or ? Thank you in advance. LoyolaGirl ( talk) 01:52, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Callanecc. I wonder if you might do me a small favour? I've just used the ACC tool for the first time, and wondered whether you'd be able to double-check what I've done - obviously it would be nice to know if I'm making any mistakes, and since the interface is now rather different from that shown in the guide I'm not 100% certain that I'm hitting the right buttons. (99.9%, yes...). The accounts I've done this morning are Mpoltorak, Farnaz Fae and Chagarlamudisaikrishna, and I also declined Sara_Howard as being too similar to an existing user. Assuming I've done everything right, I'll carry on, but if I'm going to screw up enough to get the tool removed, best to do so early before I do any damage...

Hey Callanecc,
Please help me on the template:Canon EOS digital cameras template table page? The user Jcitme continues to revert the table back to a new version that uses a flagship row and he is being very rude about it. I'm not pleased to have somebody tell me "no, no, no and no" when I am trying to make points to them and they respond like that to me like I'm under the age of 10... We are discussing this stuff in the Talk page but I don't know what I am doing so I can't fight him on this. I can tell you that the edits he keeps reverting to are changes that were made AFTER I cleaned the table up at the beginning of the month. So the table was in one state before March. Then I made some fixes. Then somebody made changes after my changes that changed the character of the table, so then I tried to put it back to the old way, and now Jctime keeps reverting to the new version that came after my changes. I don't even know how long he's had an account on this Wikipedia thing but he has a very strong preference for the version that came after my little fixes. This is extremely frustrating. I am talking about all this on the Talk page and I can't fight this alone. Please come in and render an outside opinion!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.201.174.85 ( talk) 16:03, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Callanecc, and thank you for taking care of Later Jin (Five Dynasties)! I see that you moved the article back to the capitalized form but quickly reverted to the non-capitalized Later Jin (Five dynasties), saying that the move hadn't been thoroughly discussed yet. From the discussion at WT:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Dynasties, however, it seems that even the user who had moved it to the non-capitalized form agrees that "Five Dynasties" should be capitalized. He is also the one who tagged the page to be moved back. Since nobody is left arguing that the page should be at Later Jin (Five dynasties), I think it would be reasonable to return it to its original capitalized title. No matter what you decide on this issue, do keep up the good work! Madalibi ( talk) 12:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Callanecc,
I thought I'd send a friendly reminder on your talk page regarding the SPI you checked three days ago. I left my investigation results on the SPI page, but I was not sure if you had reviewed my comments yet since it is "closed" but that you did leave a message for checkusers something to the effect of "Could the clerks hold off on archiving this one, I need to have a chat to a CU about it."
By the way, I realized I had left my comments in the wrong section, and please feel free to move my comments to the correct location in that SPI. As you will see, if not yet, it was an impersonator of the real Robert Young, "ryoung122", so I feared that the SPI may have been a rubber-stamp on accusing "ryoung122" for the 'suspected sockpuppets'. You mentioned WP:DUCK but it wasn't a duck. ;-)
I don't remember exactly what a checkuser does, and whether you as an administrator have the ability to see IP addresses (or that's why there is a CU group), so please let me know what you find, particularly when the vandal also tweaked a living person's page to show that he had died whereas it wasn't the case, upsetting the victim & his family and friends. Cheers, Calvin Ty 14:33, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
You removed T3 noticed on this and a few templates for speedy deletions. These template redirects are not really used anywhere and just multiple spellings for the same template.

You blocked Redmoon660 for sockpuppetry. There is now an unblock request at User talk:Redmoon660, in which the editor acknowledges that his/her use of multiple accounts was unacceptable, and undertakes not to do the same again. My own feeling is that, as far as the sockpuppetry issue is concerned, there is no reason not to take the editor's statement as made in good faith, and since the block no longer serves any preventive purpose, if sockpuppetry were the only issue, I would be happy to unblock. However, I am less than 100% comfortable about unblocking an editor with a clear conflict of interest, who is here only to promote a point of view, and who has vigorously done so through nearly 2000 edits in a few months. Maybe you would like to look at the unblock request and my comments about it, and indicate whether you have any opinion on the matter.

I would like to submit a request that you revise your decision to reject protection on the page Ink_Master_(season_4). Second time in 2 days I have reverted the page to undo multiple minor edits. Since the season started, I have had to correct multiple falsities in unregistered users posts. I continually have to change edits that contain misleading information based on opinions and not facts posted by unregistered users. The information I am posting is from the source. The talk page is not utilized by the unregistered users to discuss their views and reasons for wanting the changes. These guys are changing information based on their opinion and its becoming disruptive, in my opinion. I have been a primary contributor to Ink Master for 2+ years and have been open to changes so long as communication is had on the talk page as to better ways of doing it. I understand that we want an open format so anyone can edit, I like and agree with this format, but at what point do we draw the line when it comes to inaccurate information being posted knowing that information is opinion based? The source I use is the owner of the series. It has references throughout the page. I would ask for at least a month of protection. This should deter the one(s) who are primarily performing the opinionated edits from making them based on opinion. Kevintampa5 ( talk) 02:42, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Callanecc. :) I just noticed that User talk:Callanecc/Editnotice is template-protected - sorry to be a stickler for the rules, but would you mind changing it to full protection?

Callanecc, none of the six nomination templates you promoted in your recent Prep 4/ Queue 4 set were properly done—it looks like you neglected to add the "subst:" before the "DYKsubpage" after the opening braces at the top of the template. I'd do it for you, but then it would look like I was the one who promoted them, and it really should be you.
There's also another thing: if you build the prep set, you shouldn't also be the one to promote it to the queue. It's important to have other pairs of eyes to check a built set and see if there are any issues—the incorrect closure of the templates, for example, but also things like hook wording or set composition: sets are supposed to have a hard upper limit of 50% bios and 50% American hooks unless there's no other choice, and this one has four bios although there are other non-bio, non-American hooks. Something to note for the future. Thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 06:09, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

I would like to have your kind attention to this paragraph from the article Dawoodi Bohra
(The spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community is called Da'i al-Mutlaq (Arabic: داعي المطلق), which serves as the representative of the Imam. The role of Da'i was created by Queen Arwa bint Ahmed (also known as Al-Hurra Al-Malika) of Yemen. It was initially created as a subordinate role to support other roles as such Hujja, Dai-ad-Du'at and Dai Balagh. Following the hiding of 21st Imam Al-Tayyeb and unavailability of the successor, Queen appointed Syedna Zueb bin Musa as the first Dai-al-Mutlaq to rule the whole D'awa.[2][3][4])
The above paragraph contradicts the very basic faith of Dawoodi Bohra. It should be written as given in At-Tayyib Abu'l-Qasim.
(According to "Ṭāyyibī Mustā‘līd" tradition, before At-Tayyib Abu'l-Qasim went into seclusion his father Al-Amir bi-Ahkami'l-Lah instructed Queen al-Hurrah Arwa al-Sulayhi in Yemen to anoint a vicegerent after the seclusion. The vicegerent, or Da'i al-Mutlaq, would have full authority to govern the community in all matters both spiritual and temporal. She appointed Da'i Zoeb bin musa as First Dai in Yemen.)
further the reference given by asgarli engineer is baised, as asgarali engineer is founder of progressive dawoodi bohra, a minor faction. and is separate from mainstream. I would like to cite more neutral reference, Mr. John Blank [1] who has done his unbiased research upon dawoodi bohra in his book Mullahs on the Mainframe [2]

Your intervention is required! Both side is pushing their POV. They just want to publicize "succession controversy" in favor of their favorite leader. There is a fan group of editors, I was invited there to interfere by the minority one. One immediate solution is your intervention or reducing protection to semi-protection. I've my opinion to first make the article in compliance with wiki standards then a RfC to answer those little fraction of editors including multiple SPAs.

Hello,
Callanecc,
Given the latest case at
ARE, I was looking at the
Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience#2014 and a
warning Second Quantization was given for issuing a DS warning, saying that it had to be given by an uninvolved administrator. If a warning is issued by a editor (who should be also uninvolved), it should include the parameter |admin=no in the template.
So, I wondered about DS warnings like
this,
this and
this...I'm not focusing on this issue because I have a stake in these topics but last fall, during the hubbub about
Rupert Sheldrake, I noticed a number of involved editors issuing DS warnings to those editors they disagreed with and now I see that these warnings were never logged in on the Pseudoscience DS page so I don't know if they were considered "official" and whether unofficial warnings were appropriate to deliver to editors' talk pages. The examples I gave were logged in but I had questions about unofficial ones, too.
I've commented on the DS policy review that I took issue with warnings being used as a weapon to silence those one opposes so that is my interest.
Liz

Just wonder why you are protecting templates which hasnt been vandalized. You edit summary links to Wikipedia:High-risk templates which says "If fully protected, so that they can only be edited by administrators, or template-protected, so that they can only be edited by administrators and template editors, these templates should be changed only after consensus for the change has been established on the template's talk page." Christian75 ( talk) 12:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, it turns out there was a reason for the apparent confusion I received from the functionaries mailing list. After filing an SPI, I was told that there are no suppressed edits in the Ralph Abraham article, something which I did not anticipate in the least. Deepak Chopra sent out a tweet complaining about death threats in the Abraham article, and the responses he received all acknowledged the vandalism. But it happened four days prior to Chopra's tweet and was reverted in seconds by ClueBot. Chopra linked to the current article, not a past revision. There were at least two screenshots showing the vandalism, one being of the Google Knowledge Graph info. It's all very peculiar (perhaps there is even a software bug somewhere), but all that is a separate issue at this point.
In any case, the original goal of the SPI -- to checkuser the suppressed edit -- is not longer applicable. The revdeleted (not suppressed) edits from 71.119.92.56 are in fact the threats in question, and the SPI has shifted to a regular IP sockpuppeting case. I don't know where this puts the current state of the SPI; since you handled the last SPI you might want to look at this one (which is an updated version of my original email). Very recently one of Askahrc's edits exposing one of his IP addresses was suppressed, but you have a copy of my email which mentions the IP. vzaak 03:45, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

On 2 March 2014 you permanently blocked the above user for abusing multiple accounts but it seems he's still at it. I see from his contributions that among the articles he edited were Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) and others related to litigation for compensation. In recent days, there have been edits to CICA which I have reverted, attempting to provide an external link to a firm of lawyers or to use that firm's website as a reference. The diffs are here by Salamuddin_Shaikh and here by JohnMilson. You will notice that these are linking to same lawyers' firm as S.Salman89' edit on 31 January 2014. It seems to me that there is a concerted effort by a group of users, or the same user under various aliases, to exploit Wikipedia for their own commercial ends through free advertising posing as independent authority. It should be noted that the name of their firm, Criminal Injury Claims, is deliberately chosen to resemble as closely as possible Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, presumably to catch out unwary Google users. (There is absolutely no need to use a lawyer to apply to the Authority.) Sorry to bother you with this, but seeing as you dealt with him before I thought you might be interested to pursue this.

Dear Callanecc, Well after this [20], you can see that the user Aquintero is not really seeking a consensus nor providing a talk page to discuss the quality of the map on talk page, the user is really misinterpreting things, the user says that I'm wanting to promote "a different map" that I created in SVG format, but I'm using his/her own source in PNG format and as you know a SVG map should be used in place of PNG map (raster image) when superior. The user Aquintero probably does not want the map has a better quality in spite of having the same content as his/her map. I also told him/her to created his/her own SVG map if he/she doesn't want the SVG that I created. Wikimedia SVG image support. -- Cihuaweb ( talk) 16:14, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello. My user page and my talk page have recently been vandalized by a non-registered user. If there anything I can do or you could do for me so it does not happen in the future, please let me know. Thank you. Dr Marmilade ( talk) 00:04, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I would like to change the title of her page to all caps AGNEZ MO, as that is how it is spelled on her official website, Twitter and Facebook pages. The photo of her is also outdated from 2009, and I would like to change that to a more recent photo of her and Timbaland. I don't mean to break any rules or cause disruption; I would just like to update her page to align with her current brand and image. Can you help? Thank you!

Hi,
I noticed that I was not approved for autopatrol due solely to not meeting the 50 article minimum. I've been on Wikipedia for over 8 years, I have restore multiple articles and have been active on DRV. In the recent months I've created twelve 12 articles. Per WP:IAR I feel that is a bit unfair. I find this highly discouraging and was hope you could revisit. Thanks! Valoem talk contrib 13:09, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Rfp for autopatrolled. I've got your point, but may I consider that you are involved here? When it comes to me about getting autopatrolled right. OccultZone ( Talk) 14:11, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Did I list this correct? Don't see it as open on the SPI list so wasn't sure if I fudged it. Thanks. -- Львівське ( говорити) 14:36, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
