Is it possible to add Biswa Singha to the block settings of [2409:4065::/36]? Biswa Singha is an article closely related to Koch dynasty which is already included in the block setting. Thanks. Chaipau (talk) 10:55, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks! But it seems the same user is using a different IP range as well. Compare [1] and [2]. Is it possible to link the 2405: range to the 2409: range? I am not sure what the technical solution could be. Chaipau (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to alert you that there was yet another attempt at sock-puppetry, and the sock has been blocked. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Wordain#10_December_2022. Chaipau (talk) 23:50, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have some serious concerns about the additions and in particular deletions this user has been implementing on the Osibisa page over the last week or so but I don’t know how one approaches these things.
I did try to communicate with the user but have been ignored as I was attempting to find out why their changes were deemed applicable.
Any idea how this can be addressed.
I’m ok with updating various things, particularly regarding music but I’m not that familiar with how to manage or deal with what I think is corruptive edits and changes

Hello, I have the source for the addition to the American University of the Caribbean page. It is a pdf. Do you know how I can cite the pdf?QQQspadesQQQ (talk) 00:17, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Please read Wikipedia:Citing_sources. A PDF may or may not qualify as a reliable source depending on it's origin and who published it. If this is a primary source, you'll want to read Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary. OhNoitsJamie Talk 00:22, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's an increasing number of editors, such as Anjney11, NIKE 01, Jha09 who come in to change pictures of Bollywood actresses almost every single day to "recent" ones, or they splash the entire page with pictures. It's getting a bit tiring tbh. Can something be done about this? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:36, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it's tiring. Unfortunately, unless there's a suspicion of sockpuppettry, we have to deal with them on a case-by-case basis; warnings, protection when it gets too excessive, etc. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:43, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- If you look at the revision history of Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani, picture updates and changes by these users are a daily occurrence. Can we increase protection of these two pages to prevent this happening? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:17, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for that, I promise that this will not happen again by my side.
But I just wanted to know that when to update an image to a newer one so that the mistake does not happen again.
- If we already have a reasonably recent high-quality photo, please propose photo changes on the article's talk page first. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:22, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I think the IPv6 you just blocked at Alexandra Beaton has come back as a named-account sock. Not sure if you want to block the named account, semi-protect the article this time, or both. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:06, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
At Nuno Tavares (i come to you since all the other users with whom i felt it would be pertinent to discuss the subject - in fact, with one of them i have once or twice, in other "wiki-fields" - have their talkpages protected; due to that and due to the fact that you blocked the last IP address, they have thousands): this person clearly does not understand that what they are doing is a serious wiki-offence, and they continue to wage excuses like "My little brother did it", to name this one). One WP guideline tells us that sock contributions are to be reverted on sight regardless of their merits, does it not?
I have reverted once more in Mr. Tavares' article, but they will return believe me! Attentively, from Portugal 193.137.135.5 (talk) 09:34, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Nevermind, i gave up the battle due to exhaustion (have been here for 16 YEARS). I reinstated (most of) their version (but not the Instagram video about the subject's barber, this is an ENCYCLOPEDIA!), only composed the display here and there.

I requested for semi protected edit request 3 days before. But it was not done by anyone. Can you please do it. 103.70.199.89 (talk) 16:55, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The subject above is a priest well known within the circle of the Christian in Nigeria. He is a passionate priest and social crusader. He is even referenced in the official website of the Oyo state government www.oyostate.gov.ng under the section of People >Notable Indigene.

I like your "Wikipedia is a serious business" and "User is not notable" templates but I can't seem to find it in the templates used underneath the page, or by searching it up in templates. If you could tell me the code for it I would much appreciate it. Thanks, Matthew. MasterMatt12 (talk) 00:55, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- There aren't templates for those, I just made them "by hand." You can see the code in the source here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:01, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I appreciate it, also, I was wondering if you could show me the edits User: AG5263 made to show that he is using several accounts on the same IP adress? Because I know it is false, and I was wondering how to prove to you that he isn't. I appreciate it, and good night, Matthew. MasterMatt12 (talk) 2:06, December 2022 (UTC)
- It's a checkuser block, which means that there is technical evidence connecting the accounts. I'd suggest you stick to using one account if you'd like to keep editing here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 05:03, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dear OhNoitsJamie, you told me to wait 6 months and its already 6 months and I waited every second of it. I assure you that I’ll never do any mistake. Please unban me User:Thegoravsharma. 2405:205:B007:1072:8023:DD50:FA10:BF77 (talk) 17:54, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not how the WP:STANDARDOFFER works. Follow the instructions on the link and make the request on your account page (ideally, User:GoravSharma0245 unless you are unable to log in to that account for some reason). Technically I should block this IP for block evasion. I advise you to not make further logged-out edits if you want to have a chance of having your account unbanned. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:59, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I requested while logged out because i was unable to log in. You should not block whole IP as this is our collage wifi (personal suggestion as I’m not going to any further request for block evasion). BTW, thanks for your suggestion. Have a great day ahead, OhNoitsJamie. 18:09, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was created as an article and existed for six years before it was redirected. The target article has a title that seems to be relevant, but is actually about the primetime schedule; the pages were not merged. The redirect is misleading and was disputed, so the editors redirecting it were also disruptive; usually contested redirects of existing articles such as this are restored and taken to AFD. Peter James (talk) 14:33, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I saw a single editor edit-warring against several other editors. I don't have an opinions as to whether it should remain a redirect or not; that should be hashed out on the article's talk page. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Howdy. As title: ClueBot III edit diff showing my request with no interactions (denial, more info needed, acceptance etc) being removed for archiving. I see you doing stuff there so figured you might be able to tell me what's up? Is this action an effective denial without the ceremony or should it be resubmitted? I was supposed to be asleep already, so no rush to respond; I'm watching this page :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 06:52, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I think Cluebot archives request after a period of time; you can resubmit if there was no response. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:43, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

i saw you blocked 174.214.48.67 for 1 week,but they only have 1 edit,don't you think that's a little harsh? unless they are evading a block,i believe this is a little excessive? if not,you're the admin,not me :p have a good day,cheers!~ ItsMeKeys (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The schools I keep removing from list of schools/institutions in Warri are not in Warri. It is clearly stated on the address eg Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (Ugbomro), Delta State is not an institution in Warri. College of Education, Warri (Edjeba), Delta State, is an institution in Warri.
they're boldly indicated on the addresses of the places. So please love to remove those schools wrongly appropriated to be in Warri. Ohwo.ekpa (talk) 11:05, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. The pattern of this IP user's edits and behaviour seem strangely familiar. Would you please investigate and/or keep an eye on them? Thanks! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:19, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, just a friendly note to let you know that it is customary to give notice to the editor who started an article when you send it to ANI. Bruxton (talk) 21:28, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You have a reputation for no nonsense administrative solutions to issues on WP, and are not involved with this deletion discussion as far as I can tell.
The reason for asking you to take a look is to consider whether it is likely ever to be closable in a "healthy" manner (Justice being seen to be done) or whether an out of process early closure is appropriate. I am being careful not to seek to influence your opinion, though I obviously have an opinion.
I thought of taking this to Closure Requests, but I felt it probably needed a troubleshooter to take a look "from afar" to seek to determine what to do. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:37, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- As was noted early in the AfD, these entries shouldn't be grouped in a single AfD; as long as they are, I can't imagine a reasonable way to close as any other than "keep" or "no consensus." I'm not against AfD bundles per se, but this is not a good application of bundling. OhNoitsJamie Talk 12:38, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
