Hey. TheEvyatar protection request was already archived, but I got your notevia ping. So, my understanding andmodus operandi is that admins don't have discretion aboutWP:PIAWP:ECR for non-preemptive requests (which I approach as at least one recent disruptive or otherwise contested edit by a non-WP:XC user) ofprimary articles. This in contradistinction torelated pages, where I do feel like we have the discretion to add an expiration (recent example), or downgrade, or lift outright, anything else. Might be worth seeking clarification about this atWP:ARCA. Also ping@Nableezy: the filer of this request and a user who is more familiar with this area of arbitration policy than most admins. Thanks and best wishes,El_C02:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
restriction is preferably enforced through extended confirmed protection, though this is not required. Given that it saysboth
preferablyand
though this is not required, it seems quite intentionally discretionary and note that's for a page that
mostly or entirely relates to the topic area.
On any page where the restriction is not enforced through extended confirmed protection, this restriction may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is nowno longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improvingRfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please seeWikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing!theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Hi there, could you take a look atEdward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick and perhaps re-introduce protections (if necessary)? It seems like the paid editors are back on there to reintroduce the same edits made by the sockmaster "Anne Barrington". I'm not entirely sure if they are *exactly* the same people from the SPI, as it is also possible that the individual themselves has engaged and paid other individuals that may or may not be "Anne Barrington". I've nevertheless made a report. Thank you.John Yunshire (talk)16:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd like to request a reduction in the level of protection you implemented atThe Gazette (band). It definitely needs some protection, but the problem edits all came from IPs and one brand new editor. I suggest semi-protection cause it'd be nice to tidy it up a bit, like adding a secondary source for the death instead of just a primary one, and clean up stuff like theWP:SELFREDs and large amount of all caps. The article is getting a lot of views now, and I feel that last one in particular makes Wiki look bad. lolXfansd (talk)22:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the pointer to theWP:ELEVAR essayhere. I definitely share some of those misgivings, which was why I labelled my replacement suggestions as only "near-synonyms". Nice work finding better ways to the same end!
Just for the record, the essay doesn't really touch on parts of speech other than nouns - or even on common nouns, after the very first illustration of the idea in the lede. Maybe it ought to be broadened, though? Or maybe not; theelegant variation article has somewhat similarly narrow scope, and directly addresses that point as well, so maybe other sorts of variation would not fit well under this umbrella?

Thanks for reviewing my RPP request. Sawyour recent comment suggesting to warn the user, but since this IP is rapidly changing (sometimes multiple times per day), it is doubtful they are seeing them. Nevertheless, they've been warnedhere,here, and nowhere in addition toyour warning. I will continue to carry it out until we reach the final level. The IP range appears to be a wireless mobile carrier, however, so page protection might be preferred over blocking the IP range should we reach that stage.

Hi there. I'm part of part of couple of months long going dispute and preparation for RfC atJinn, (starting aroundhere). At the suggestion of Bookku (here), I was wondering if you could take a look at thispost byVenusFeuerFalle and see if you find it in breach ofWP:DR spirit ofWP:AGF as Bookku (our informal dispute facilitator) and myself do.(I'm having trouble finding an admin to do this and found your name onWP:LA, so I hope this is not too far out of your comfort zone.)
Example:
I am willing to givethe involved users one last chance, to makeone clear suggestion, I want to respond one last time.Thenwe can go step by step over to the other ones. If it fails, I will not reply to that anymore, and then either the edits meet the Wiki-Criteria or they don't. If theydo not meet them, they will be reverted, no matter of you understand the reason or not. Because, I just feel my time being wasted. If the users againderail the discussions,I will report Eagle and let an admin check onall involved users for canvassing, harrassment, and potential sockpuppetry.
Many thanks if you can help. --Louis P. Boog (talk)16:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm writing regarding your recent protection ofWikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports.
That page is the only place that IPs are supposed to report false positive edit filter hits. I understand that there has been disruption recently, but we generally don't protect the page due to disruption—indeed, disruption occurs on the page almost every day. And, when we do block, it's usually forextremely short periods of time (such asmere hours), and only whenabsolutely necessary. I understand that this particular master enjoys hitting the page repeatedly, but would you please lift the protection (or at least shorten the length)?
Thank you!

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue with the Wikipedia articleIntermedia (company). My Father received an email claiming to be from intermedia and offered my father to turn his book into film. They claim that they produced The Aviator and The Terminator among others-- which is an obvious blatant lie. The email contains a link to Intermedia wikipage and upon checking, it appears that the userApon4971 has made edits to the article, including adding a website link that is being used to scam people. The link makes it seem as though the site is affiliated with a legitimate company, which it is not. The REAL intermedia is already defunct for more than 20yrs
Details of the Issue:
Article:Intermedia (company)
User:Apon4971
Scam Website Inserted [https://internationalmediaag.com/]
Problematic Edit: Insertion of a website link purported to be associated with Intermedia but used for scamming. Upon researching they scammed authors by offering them to turn their book into film and asking authors for money to kickstart the process.
Rationale for Reporting: The inclusion of this website link misleads readers into believing it is an official and legitimate resource, potentially causing harm to individuals who may fall victim to the scam. This action violates Wikipedia's guidelines on verifiability and reliability of sources, and it undermines the credibility of the encyclopedia.
Request for Action:
Review the Edits: Please review the recent changes made byApon4971 to verify the insertion of the fraudulent website link.
Remove the Scam Link: If confirmed, kindly remove the misleading website link from the article.
Investigate the User: Consider investigating the editing patterns ofApon4971 for any further malicious activity and take appropriate action if necessary and possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your efforts in maintaining the integrity and reliability of Wikipedia.

It does sound like, reading your comments, that you felt a bad experience going through BRFA? If I'm right in thinking you thought your BRFA to be unpleasant: is it more the source code requirement that put(s) you off, or that you felt your BRFA was being derailed with the "source code of bots" discussion? Or something else? I ask because we do want to make BRFA a pleasant experience to encourage botops.
I suppose in addition, I'm also confused byHowever, I believe it's fair to say that some of the additional requirements that have been discussed would have likely deterred me from submitting a BRFA.

I had made the report on the “Khmer people” page (I wasn’t logged in) when User:Kromla vandalized the page. Then I noticed the page was semi-protected at the request of Kromla, which I agree it should be, but also the user seemed to do so to prevent the restoration of the page and continue their pro-Thai rhetoric (which is a violation since the page should support non-biased information). Yesterday, I fortunately was able to restore the Khmer people page to the form it was before Kromla’s vandalization. However, a Wikipedian professional restorer unintentionally reverted it back to its vandalized form under Kromla. I did submit a topic to his talk page to tell him what he did. Just in case, can you let him know that he reverted the page back to its vandalized form and request to restore it back to its original form before Kromla’s vandalization so there isn’t any misunderstanding?

Hello,
I saw your message on my Talk page about my most recent edit onList of Wikipedias. I believe that this edit was done in error, because as I'm scrolling through the list of Wikipedias on the article, none of them have sources for the date that they started listed next to the start dates. However, the source for such information is linked on the article itself, and the same is true for smaller Wikipedia websites mentioned that have their own articles. Before redoing the edit, I will wait for your next message on the topic.Surayeproject3 (talk)05:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no global user group that hassysop in itand the global sysop permission is not activated here, so I have an idea: replace it with just!("steward" in global_user_groups), and do we need the filter to only prevent edits to unauthorized users, or to also block moves without the filter havingaction == "edit"?

Greetings,
I was wondering how you protected theSnow Patrol page as extended-protection. I would like you to explain how you did this because I am thinking of protecting theSan Francisco andSan Diego pages like that as well. The reason why I am thinking of doing this is because the two articles are important as they are about major cities and could have vandalism at any time. Please let me know how you protected the Snow Patrol page as extended-protection so that I can do this for the San Francisco and San Diego pages.

could have vandalism at any timesounds like).Snow Patrol was experiencing a prolonged significant problem withsockpuppetry and disruptive edits when it was protected. In the past two weeks, I only see one clear vandalism edit onSan Francisco and perhaps two onSan Diego, which is not enough to justify page protection and that's why your requests were declined. You can read more about how page protection works atWP:PP.

Hello! I was hoping maybe I could ask something about the page, specifically the mentions of the tragedies of Palisades and Eaton. The article mentions that they’re the fourth and second worst fires “respectively”, marking Palisades as 4th and Eaton as 2nd. I’m genuinely unsure if this is inaccurate info as the CalFire website shows that the Palisades fire is much bigger and has caused more damage than the Eaton fire or if I’ve just missed some info along the way? If I have missed info, I’ll happily look for it. Also, the page says that the Sepulveda, Clay, and Gibbel fires are still active in the second paragraph when those three have been contained, however the list of wildfires contradicts this as the list currently shows Sepulveda and Clay as contained (Gibbel was marked fully contained as of Jan 24th at 12 a.m, so I can understand how that hadn’t been updated as it’s fairly recent information posted to the CalFire website as of Jan 25th at around 8 in the morning). As well, on the list of wildfires, the Cantu fire that started on the 9th is listed between the Lidia and Sunset fires that started on the 8th. I’d add these myself but I’m finding difficulty with the permissions to edit due to *certain people* continuously vandalizing the page per the page protection history :,)Gh0ulish Fox (talk)00:13, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Daniel. Thx for your research re name Fischer Random Chess (although I'm sort of "hands off" that article anymore). Do you mind if I have a little discussion w/ you re my concerns reCapablanca chess versusCapablanca Chess, andAlice chess versusAlice Chess. They once had those former proper noun titles, long-standing, and am sure RSs support same, and, I don't see any diff between those titles and the Fischer title, but I refuse to argue or Wiki-lawyer w/ editors over what seems obvious (editing s/b enjoyable and I don't see fighting beyond adding my views to Talk discussions as enjoyable, e.g. see Talk re dispute re article titleNimzowitsch–Larsen Attack where I actually quit WP permanently after contributing there after an improper non-admin close, and had no ambition to open an appeal; other editors thankfully came in sometime later to correct the title, which surprised & pleased since I'd believed there's no interest in ndash vs. hyphen. :) Ditto uppercase versus lower for variant articles. Thing is, for Capablanca & Alice, I lack the know-how & tools but mostly the motivation to research enough RSs to build arguments for competing w/ the gang of editors who decided variant names must be lc out of what seemed like a hyper demand for broad WP consistency. As a result I feel there're several improperly changed titles, but Capablanca & Alice are the ones that irk me enough to say anything, but to whom when am allergic to Talk fights? That said, w/ you be able to help? I don't mean to task you. I care but probably not beyond asking someone for help who seems to also care, especially an admin. ;) Thx for your understanding & consider. --IHTS (talk)03:33, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I hope you are well. I wanted to ask for your opinions around Rotten Tomatoes as I am struggling to understand the wording. I know that it suggests that it should not be used for biographical information (e.g. DOB), but I am a bit confused if it is okay for credits; such as if it was used as an actor to show that x appeared as y in z movie. I ask as I have seen it used in BLPs before and was under the assumption it was okay for credits but was told by another editor that it is not, so I wanted to check.DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk)23:15, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
cast and crew data, or other film and television datapart ofWP:ROTTENTOMATOES hopefully makes that clear. If you see it used that way in an article, the source should generally be replaced with a better source, the citation should be tagged with

I've made some python code that seems to be working pretty well (based on the tests I did in my sandbox). What kind of annoys me though is that the bot in its current state probably won't stumble upon an article with these incorrect date formats very often. This is because right now it just uses a random page generator to find what articles it checks.
If you have any solutions that could make the bot more efficient in this way (maybe this is where we use an abuse filter??), I'm open to any ideas. The code ishere.

I see you've encountered this very weird, disruptive IP. I've put some very long blocks on some of their other addresses but not managed to pin down a range. It's not so much the edits themselves which are quite often harmless, sometimes wrong, but always unsourced; but the edit summaries that are disruptive. What you've seen is pretty normal for them. While they keep it short, I've let it go but when we start getting the "... based on (long list)" then that's when my patience goes out the window.

Regardingthis, one edit and a few filter hits over three minutes with nothing before is pretty stale by my reckoning.

Hello. This user's behavior is just destructive. After a week, he didn't have a single line of interaction and immediately started to sabotage after a week. Please lock both articles and block the IP.
By the way, this is very clear and simple. We are not going to ask permission from an IP troll to add a simple number or make a minor correction. Closing the article for a week and asking for interaction was also wrong. He simply intends to continue his wrongdoings and feels ownership over the articles.
By the way, I think one or two accounts from this article are associated with this IP.

Hi Daniel, I blockedFalguni98 after you declined the AIV report so I thought I'd let you know why as a courtesy. First, I'm deeply suspicious of any account whose first and only edit is to spam a commercial link; there's almost always more to it if you look deep enough. This link in particular had a "source=wikipedia" referrer in the URL, which clearly shows the link was made for SEO purposes rather than an attempt to add a useful reference. I'd have happily blocked for that alone, but I ran the domain throughSpamcheck (which is an incredibly useful tool) which showed another account spamming the same link here and on the Italian Wikipedia. I blocked both accounts and asked for a global lock at Meta. I did also run a checkuser, which confirmed the two accounts to each other; not a surprise but I hoped it might show up any other spam accounts. I know AIV is not well set-up for that kind of investigation but if you're not sure, please do pass reporters on to somewhere likeWT:WPSPAM or even to my talk page.

Hi @Daniel Quinlan, I'm wondered why theSnow Patrol article was in extended-confirmed protection? Also, I notice when I saw in the protection log, it was expired set on September 15, 2026, but when I saw, it says "This article is extended-confirmed protected" but there's no "until September 15, 2026". Can you explain it to me? Thanks.Rizky Juliandief (talk)03:30, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Daniel Quinlan, I see that you're the operator behind theProtection Helper Bot, the solution (I guess) to the long-term issue where it's not possible to layer a shorter-term higher-level protection over a longer-term lower-level protection (except for pending changes protection) and in most cases, would need to have the previous protection restored. For example, theMrBeast article was semi-protected indefinitelyon January 2021, but was then extended confirmed protected for three monthson August last year. When the extended confirmed protection expired, the botrestored the previous semi-protection. That's probably fine here; just imagine all the crazyBLP violations this could receive if completely unprotected. I was just wondering: does the bot try to restoreall lower-level protections right after the higher-level protection expires, or does it restore protections depending on the context subject? TheMinneapolis article was semi-protected indefinitelyon March last year, but was then extended confirmed protected for one yearon May that year. When the protection expired, however, the previous semi-protection was somehow not restored. Looking at the article'srecent history, there doesn't seem to be really much disruptive activity right now to warrant another protection. A request to restore the previous protection was also declineda month ago.BriDash9000 (talk)15:45, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you don't mind the ping.Sennecaster mentioned thatUser:Ronhjones/rescaled.js is broken on pages with previously redacted revisions (the same applies toUser:Ronhjones/rescaledsidebar.js andUser:B/rescaledsidebar.js), and I noticed you're using one of those scripts. I've rewritten the script to fix the issue, modernize the codebase, improve the user interface a bit, and it should work on every skin. Basically, feel free to check it out atUser:Daniel Quinlan/Scripts/Rescaled because not broken is good, and shiny and new is better, right?
If you don't see any of those three scripts in your common.js, look in your vector.js, monobook.js, vector-2022.js, or modern.js. If you're not currently an administrator, you may want to remove it, but if you're planning to return, it's probably best to not keep using a broken script. If you have any questions or run into any issues, please feel free to ask me here. Regards.Daniel Quinlan (talk)06:46, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if you saw my reply over at ANI, so I figured I would repost here: at what point does it stop being merely a content dispute and becomes disruptive editing? Because I'm pretty sure their content removal is/was disruptive. I already explained why I feel it's disruptive, and I even included the following message when I warned them back in May:The Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman podcast is, in fact, real. Yet you completely disregard the citations provided proving its existence -[9],[10] - to remove its entry on the article and make the patently false claim that it's "not a real podcast". Please do NOT remove it again. Fast-forward to now, and they have decidednot to listen to me and go ahead and remove it again.TheGrandDelusion(Send a message)20:54, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. I see that you protected the articleJustin Trudeau in January. Trudeau is no longer Prime Minister and isn't as much of the controversial figure anymore, certainly less so thanPierre Poilievre, which remains unprotected and has seen plenty of productive contributions from anonymous users. I live in hope that we can unprotect this without issues now... The helpful edit requests from anonymous users also weighs towards unprotecting this. Wondering if you might be willing to remove it.

Hi Daniel,we have another anonymous user who keeps adding the (already discussed and disputed) release date for this particular album to the page. I'm afraid a new protected status is necessary. Thanks.Ray1983a (talk)11:58, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel Quinlan, it's been a year since we've had theProtection Helper Bot up and running. It has been a nice solution to the issueI've already noted above. I was wondering if the bot could be reworked in a way that it will restore protection if the reason for the previous one actually returns, and not just soon after the higher-level protection expires (except for those being protected under theArbCom remedies, some of which are now beingprotected by default). I've come across theRachael Lillis article; that was semi-protected indefinitelyin 2016, but was removed following a one-day full protectionin 2019. Of the 42 edits so farthis year, 14 were from IP users, and 10 of them have been constructive (there were only 4 reverted IP edits,one of them being clearvandalism). Restoring indefinite protection here would now only prevent the IPs from contributing to the article, rather than disrupting it. Plus, this wouldn't fall underWP:CT/BLP, as Lillis has been dead for over a year. However, I've also seen articles with indefinite protection removed after a temporary higher-level protection, only for the previous indefinite protection to eventually be reinstated. One example wasMiami; it was semi-protected indefinitely beforein 2014, but was removed following a two-day full protectionin 2019. It was later semi-protected indefinitely againlast February.BriDash9000 (talk)11:45, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel,
With a few other editors, I've been working on rewriting our understandability guideline. Before I bring it to a wider audience, I'm looking for at least one more person to comment on it, so I can refine it. Would you be happy to have a lookWikipedia:Make technical articles understandable/Workshop. My goal is to give editors many more tools to actually write understandably, which is something we struggle with. (I see you've done some chemistry editing, so if you have any examples from that field, I'd be keen to switch out biology ones).—Femke 🐦 (talk)06:56, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to check out the new version I rolled out a few days ago with page history and diff page support.: That looks nice, thanks! I wish I had seen the alpha version earlier; unfortunately, I saved the contents of the script locally just days before it was merged.
That said, the changes really gutted my script.: Yeah, I removed (well, the more accurate term would be not implement, since I decided to rewrite most of the script) several features that aren't useful to me, like viewing deleted contributions and xwiki date support. It's also a little bit faster since it doesn't make API calls to see if a page exists, and I'm also using afldir=newer with constraints to only get the log entries I need.
norev things were doing, and I wasn't able to insert different types of "fake revisions" without messing up their order.ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)03:13, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]const limit = rights.apihighlimits ? 250 : 50; probably isn't necessary since[13] mentions you can grab 500 entries without any additional rights.ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)03:17, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]Hello Daniel,Kaif Raza Khan page is currently protected.

Barry Mitterhoff made a Flying Fish album called “Silk City (Mandolin Music)” in 1988. I read about that album when I looked him up on the internet. I saw Hot Tuna albums in the Hot Tuna article and Skyline albums in the Skyline article after I read about Barry being in those bands.2600:4040:606E:A800:1890:B63C:F546:7A2B (talk)15:09, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
