And you're warned for personal attacks. Acroterion (talk) 03:09, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Added a courtesy link to the discussion in question. There appear to be more personal attacks with But especially not that hater snowfire! in Talk:Kevin Deutsch#White privilege among these editors. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:18, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Yeah we don't want to keep going. Let's just compromise like we agreed. Harassment not going to happen. LaneyJfromHoward (talk) 04:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Here’s the ANI discussion: [1] and the SPI investigation: [2] Result: five socks blocked, including the OP here (FTIIIOhfive) and the commenter above (LaneyJfromHoward). -- MelanieN (talk) 08:08, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Protection of Cavoodle page

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is possible but would we be able to protect the 'Cavoodle' page please. It keeps getting vandalised and redirected to the 'cross breed' page. Although they are not recognised by a number of kennel clubs, they are recognised as a designer breed. For example the are searched for on Google about five time the number of times people search for a 'Norwegian Lundehund' which has it's own page that does not receive vandalism. There are a couple of bad eggs which have nothing better to do with their time than to vandalise pages they disagree with but I don't think they should be able to vandalise pages to give themselves a little sense of power.

LeoRussoLeo, this sort of request should be made at Wikipedia:Requests for Page Protection. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:22, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeoRussoLeo (talk • contribs) 13:27, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

For the record, there is a consensus against this, so if necessary the redirect will be the version protected. Primefac (talk) 15:03, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Primefac, ha - now I remember why this is so familiar, I temp-blocked LRL as one of my first SPI clerk tasks! Shame on me for forgetting about that. Might end up needing that indef after all... GeneralNotability (talk) 15:07, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Archiving unaddressed discussions after three days

After I reverted a bot archiving a report I filed here three days ago and that hasn't been addressed by an admin, GiantSnowman has reverted me. Why is this, and why can't a report remain on this noticeboard for ... I don't know, a week, until it has received some attention from a non-involved editor or admin? JG66 (talk) 12:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

You (disruptively - and twice!) reverted a bot archiving a large number of discussions, not just your own. If you want help, speak to me. GiantSnowman 12:50, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

JG66: The incidents thread in question strikes me as something that would be better handled at WP:DRN. –xeno^talk 12:57, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
