You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.95.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:37, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 3.95.202.46.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==On WP:PIA ''primary'' articles and WP:ECR discretion== 
Hey. The [[Evyatar]] protection request was already archived, but I got your note [[special:diff/1202518172|via ping]]. So, my understanding and ''modus operandi'' is that admins don't have discretion about [[WP:PIA]] [[WP:ECR]] for non-preemptive requests (which I approach as at least one recent disruptive or otherwise contested edit by a non-[[WP:XC]] user) of [[WP:ARBPIA4#Standing_sanctions_upon_primary_articles|''primary'' articles]]. This in contradistinction to [[WP:ARBPIA4#General_sanctions_upon_related_content|''related'' pages,]] where I do feel like we have the discretion to add an expiration ([[special:diff/1193783168|recent example]]), or downgrade, or lift outright, anything else. Might be worth seeking clarification about this at [[WP:ARCA]]. Also ping {{re|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, [[User:El_C|El_C]] 02:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

:If you want to leave that particular article indefinitely ECP, that's fine with me. Someone can always make a request on [[WP:RFPU]].
:Regarding [[WP:ECR]], it says the {{tpq|restriction is preferably enforced through extended confirmed protection, though this is not required}}. Given that it says ''both'' {{tpq|preferably}} and {{tpq|though this is not required}}, it seems quite intentionally discretionary and note that's for a page that {{tpq|mostly or entirely relates to the topic area}}.
:Also, the next item intentionally includes page protection (even mentioning pending changes) which seems to indicate page protection is a broader option and not limited to indefinite ECP: {{tpq|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.}}
:Finally, if you look at the enforcement logs for [[WP:CT/A-I]], semi-protection and non-indefinite terms are definitely used sometimes in circumstances when the administrator deems it appropriate. I suspect that's due to articles being less related, less disrupted, or both. {{ping|ScottishFinnishRadish}} Pinging you because you're the only person who responded to my question about this case on Discord (which I asked before the request was handled). Regards. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 03:12, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
::Having just reviewed the article it looks a lot more ARBPIA primary topic than I originally assumed after reviewing the lead earlier. In general, if something isn't completely primary I go with something around 6 months to a year in hopes that the conflict will cool and the article won't see conflict related editing. In this situation, though, my initial impressions of the article were wrong. I saw the request come through while I was taking a break at work and only took a peek at the lead which led to me giving you bad advice. Sorry about that. [[User:ScottishFinnishRadish|ScottishFinnishRadish]] ([[User talk:ScottishFinnishRadish|talk]]) 03:23, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
:::No worries. I was about to go with a year of ECP before I saw it had been handled. It's definitely in the topic area, but it's been almost free of disruption the last few years. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 03:29, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
:::Daniel Quinlan, sure, protection could be supplanted with blocks and other actions according to 'preference,' but like [[WP:GS/RUSUKR]] and [[WP:GS/AA]] sanction regimes, the default of [[WP:ECR]] is indef [[WP:ECP]]. A default which (all) the respective logs reflect, though of course there are outliers. To touch on what SFR says, this page about the [[Israeli outpost]] is a [[WP:ARBPIA4#Standing_sanctions_upon_primary_articles|primary article]] ''par excellence''. Which unlike [[WP:ARBPIA4#General_sanctions_upon_related_content|related content]], is guaranteed to always remains so. It contains material that will remain contested and ''contentious'' for the foreseeable. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 03:52, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

==Ilia Topuria==
Please semi-protect his page instead of fully protecting it. He is now the UFC Featherweight champion and those details cannot be changed. Please educate me on who made the choice to fully protect his page. [[User:Marty2Hotty|Marty2Hotty]] ([[User talk:Marty2Hotty|talk]]) 14:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

:The article is fully protected because people were edit warring over his nationality. Right now, people are edit warring over his nationality on related articles such as [[List of UFC champions]]. There is an ongoing discussion at [[WP:DRN#Ilia_Topuria]]. Hopefully, we can lower the page protection level soon. The article has been updated now. If you would like to make any edit requests on the talk page, please make sure you include a {{tpq|complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately}}. That includes providing a source if necessary. Thanks. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 18:07, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

:::Don't worry. You're not the only admin who's done this. A while back someone else protected [[Marlon Brando]] under BLP (I know his performances often make him seem immortal, but he ''has'' been dead for 15 years). Today I saw that in the past someone had cited BLP violations on a past protection of an article about a ''fictional character''. {{smiley}} [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] ([[User talk:Daniel Case|talk]]) 20:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

:Blocked. In the future, when you encounter this type of blatant disruption, could you please report it to the appropriate noticeboard such as [[WP:ANEW]], [[WP:AIV]], or [[WP:ANI]]? Thanks. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 00:13, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you, will do! I wasn't sure what the appropriate board was but i guess anyone will do?—[[user:blindlynx|blindlynx]] 00:16, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
:::No worries. I probably would have used [[WP:ANEW]] for this one. If you look at the top of any of those pages, there's an index of noticeboards. For issues with disruptive users, look under the {{tpq|User conduct}} section. If there are multiple issues or it's especially urgent, [[WP:ANI]] is usually a reasonable choice.

== RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I ==

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review|2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review]] is now '''no 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 improving [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|RfA]]'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:

* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 2: Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA|Proposal 2]]''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, provides for the addition of a text box at [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]] reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 3: Add three days of discussion before voting (trial)|Proposals 3]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 3b: Make the first two days discussion-only (trial)|3b]]''', initiated by {{noping|Barkeep49}} and {{noping|Usedtobecool}}, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 4: Prohibit threaded discussion (trial)|Proposal 5]]''', initiated by {{noping|SilkTork}}, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2024_review/Phase_I#Proposal 6c: Provisional adminship via sortition (admin nomination)|Proposals 6c]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2024_review/Phase_I#Proposal 6d: Provisional adminship via sortition (criteria to be determined)|6d]]''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 7: Threaded General Comments|Proposal 7]]''', initiated by {{noping|Lee Vilenski}}, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 9b: Require links for claims of specific policy violations|Proposal 9b]]''', initiated by {{noping|Reaper Eternal}}, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 12c: Lower the high end of the bureaucrats' discretionary zone from 75% to 70%|Proposals 12c]]''', '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 21: Reduce threshold of consensus at RfA|21]]''', and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 21b: Slightly reduce threshold of consensus at RfA|21b]]''', initiated by {{noping|City of Silver}}, {{u|Ritchie333}}, and {{u|HouseBlaster}}, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 13: Admin elections|Proposal 13]]''', initiated by {{noping|Novem Lingaue}}, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 14: Suffrage requirements|Proposal 14]]''', initiated by {{noping|Kusma}}, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 16: Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs|Proposals 16]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 16c: Community recall process based on dewiki|16c]]''', initiated by {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} and {{noping|Soni}}, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|administrators' noticeboard]]; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 16e: Allow the community to initiate recall RfBs|Proposal 16e]]''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 17: Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions|Proposal 17]]''', initiated by {{noping|SchroCat}}, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 18: Normalize the RfB consensus requirements|Proposal 18]]''', initiated by {{noping|theleekycauldron}}, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 24: Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process|Proposal 24]]''', initiated by {{noping|SportingFlyer}}, provides for a more robust alternate version of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll|optional candidate poll]].
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 25: Require nominees to be extended confirmed|Proposal 25]]''', initiated by {{noping|Femke}}, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 27: Introduce training/periodic retraining for admins|Proposal 27]]''', initiated by {{noping|WereSpielChequers}}, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 28: limiting multi-part questions|Proposal 28]]''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see [[Wikipedia: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!

== Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick ==

Hi there, could you take a look at [[Edward 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 "[[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anne Barrington|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. [[User:John Yunshire|John Yunshire]] ([[User talk:John Yunshire|talk]]) 16:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in Wikipedia study ==

Hello, I have been contacting editors with experience in specific areas of editing to participate in a survey study. In order to limit access without forcing editors to disclose their identity in the survey form itself, I have been contacting them via email, which you have disabled for your account.

== The Lion King II ==

Hey, there. While I did open up a discussion about the recent changes at [[Talk:The Lion King II: Simba's Pride#Changes to the plot and lead]] a few days ago, I apologize if I have ever [[WP:BITE|bitten the newcomers]]; it was never my intention to hurt or upset anyone. Also, keep up the good work, as usual. Thanks, [[User:Sjones23|Lord Sjones23]] ([[User talk:Sjones23|talk]] - [[User:Sjones23/Wikipedia contributions|contributions]]) 19:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|Sjones23}} Thanks. I did see that discussion which seems to have been somewhat productive and suggests that the new editor has something positive to contribute. I also want to emphasize that the guideline is not just about being welcoming, it's about educating newcomers through constructive feedback in edit summaries and talk pages. When newcomers' edits are reverted in a bitey way, instead of it being a learning experience, it often leads to edit wars. If you feel the need to apologize, perhaps offering one to the editor on the article talk page would be appreciated. Regards. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 20:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
::No problem. Also, as an addendum, the IP's edits to the plot summary turned out to be unneeded after all. Otherwise, thanks for your understanding.

:After reviewing things briefly, the edits from {{ip|82.211.205.45}} that FlyJet777 is reverting look a little more like vandalism (i.e., removing candidates) than the edits in the previous content dispute.

== [[List of equipment of the Armenian Armed Forces]] Protected Page Reasoning ==
Hello, I was wondering if you could explain the reasoning for protecting the page under the Armenia-Azerbaijan contentious topic, as it prevents new users like myself from making edits to the article. Also, the protection duration is indefinite, was wondering if you could also provide reasoning for that. 
Thanks [[User:UnknownHye|UnknownHye]] ([[User talk:UnknownHye|talk]]) 10:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|UnknownHye}} [[WP:GS/AA]] encourages administrators to use extended confirmed protection. I used an indefinite duration because the article had a significant history of reverted edits. After reviewing the article history, I have reduced the protection level to semi-protection. We may need to restore ECP if the article experiences significant issues at the new protection level. Regards. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 17:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

== Gazette protection reduction ==

Hi, I'd like to request a reduction in the level of protection you implemented at [[The 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 the [[WP:SELFRED]]s 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. lol [[User:Xfansd|Xfansd]] ([[User talk:Xfansd|talk]]) 22:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|Xfansd}} I would like to lower the protection level, but it doesn't seem like sufficient headway has been made on the talk page towards resolving the content dispute that resulted in [[WP:EW|edit warring]] or at least explaining the relevant [[WP:MOS]] or policies to everyone clamoring for the change. If the band has indeed said something to the effect of the deceased band member being "eternal" then perhaps a consensus can be reached by mentioning it in the text of the article while keeping the infobox accurate. (If no such statement has been made then it's more of an exercise in explaining our policies and guidelines, linking the appropriate pages and sections, etc. And we could consider semi-protection based on unsourced changes.)
:Please feel free to ask me again if more headway is made. Thanks. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 00:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

::Hi, was about to message you to actually prolong the protection. Some fans already announced on Twitter that they would immediately change it again once the protection is over. They also don't seem like people one can talk reasonably to, insulting me as a POS, among other things: https://twitter.com/RUKICORE/status/1780610614164947395/photo/1 - so I'm afraid once the protection is gone, the page will simply just be vandalized again.

== Elegant variation ==

Thanks for the pointer to the [[WP:ELEVAR]] essay [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Edit&diff=prev&oldid=1219645538 here]. 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; the [[elegant 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?

- [[Special:Contributions/2A02:560:59A1:EF00:51BD:7C45:D59E:A2DE|2A02:560:59A1:EF00:51BD:7C45:D59E:A2DE]] ([[User talk:2A02:560:59A1:EF00:51BD:7C45:D59E:A2DE|talk]]) 07:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

:Overdoing variation can be a problem with verbs too. It's also important to avoid inadvertently changing the meaning away from what sources state. My general approach is to look for opportunities to consolidate repeated information as suggested in [[WP:ELEVAR]] and to take cues from reliable sources. Those two approaches usually provide enough variation to alleviate the worst cases of overly repetitive text. Regards.

Nevertheless, they've been warned [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:2600:1009:B108:138C:4472:A85D:FA43:9D60 here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:2600:1009:B10A:F45F:4802:B1CB:BDD1:A5FC here], and now [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:2600:1009:B1C1:2633:14B9:17A1:569E:F1C9 here] in addition to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:2600:1009:B160:4339:444:F928:27B2:34E3 your 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. Thanks. --[[User:GoneIn60|GoneIn60]] ([[User talk:GoneIn60|talk]]) 13:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|GoneIn60}} I think that's enough warnings. It may help to discuss the disagreement on the article talk page where they seem to have engaged previously. An inline comment in the article is sometimes helpful as well. If they continue, I would recommend reporting {{ip|2600:1009:b100::/40}} to [[WP:ANEW]] or [[WP:ANI]].

== [[Pioneer Courthouse Square]] ==

That page was "permanently" semiprotected quite some years ago. It seems that someone decided to unprotect it, and the persistent troll is still at it. You should reimpose semi status not for a couple of months but for much, much longer. Like maybe another 10 years. ←[[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] <sup>''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''</sup> [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]]→ 03:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|User:Baseball Bugs}} When the article was unprotected, it did go six months without being disrupted again so it seemed appropriate to try a non-indefinite duration.

::I've also asked the guy who unprotected it a couple of years ago, to look into it. Evidently the troll wasn't checking it on a daily basis, but once he found out, he's been activated, so to speak.

:::Unfortunately, we can't predict whether a disruptive editor will return and ''never'' unprotecting any indefinitely protected article would be a worse option. [[Pioneer Courthouse Square]] and [[Pioneer Square, Seattle]] seem like the primary targets. It's probably [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Pioneercourthouse]] who has a history of vandalizing the articles when they're semi-protected so ECP would be my inclination if they return.

Hello. I'm writing regarding your recent protection of [[Wikipedia: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 for ''extremely short periods'' of time (such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=156624913 mere hours]), and only when ''absolutely 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!

== Report of Potential Scam and Misleading Information on Intermedia (company) Page ==


I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue with the Wikipedia article [[Intermedia (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 user [[Apon4971]] 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/<nowiki>]</nowiki>

'''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 by [[Apon4971]] 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 of [[Apon4971]] 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.

Hi @[[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]]. The article [[List of Telugu films of 2024|List of Telugu Films of 2024]] was semi-protected indefinitely due to edit warring like behaviour from IPs.

Good morning,

You were on the list of recently active admins, and I need someone urgently to deal with this ANI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#c-Lewisguile-20240916215000-Lewisguile-20240916182100 

There are three pages that have been vandalised, including removal of sourced information and the insertion of contentious information, with edit warring. The worst affected is [[Afro-Jamaicans]]. 

The user is ignoring polite requests not to edit war and to engage in [[WP:BRD]] or other consensus-building processes, yet keeps reverting any editors who try to get involved. [[User:Lewisguile|Lewisguile]] ([[User talk:Lewisguile|talk]]) 06:51, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

::Since this morning, I have discovered that the same user (possibly using multiple IPs) has been making similar edits to a whole range of Caribbean-related articles, nearly always inserting ''Coromantee Creoles'' into them, and blanking out/removing huge chunks of text in several cases.

::The affected pages I've found so far (there are probably others under other IPs) include: [[Afro-Caribbeans]], [[Afro-Jamaicans]], [[Bermuda]], [[Cayman Islands]], [[Coromantee]], [[Mixed-race Caymanians]], [[Tacky's Rebellion]], [[Turks and Caicos Creole]], and [[Turks & Caicos]].

I will ask here as it maybe strays off-topic for the Bot policy talk:

It does sound like, reading your comments, that you felt a bad experience going through BRFA?

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 by {{tq|However, 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.}} because everything you did in your BRFA would easily satisfy any new requirements that have been mooted recently.

:Page protection is reserved for exceptional cases that can't be managed otherwise. While it may seem like administrators frequently protect pages, it's a tiny number of actions compared to the total number of pages, and we deny many requests. It's a mistake to view page protection as the only solution for disruption. Wikipedia tries very hard to address disruption through registered users watchlisting pages, experienced editors giving newcomers feedback (and warnings if necessary), partial and full blocks, and many other methods.

== Khmer people ==

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? I really appreciate it! [[User:Mojomaaa123543|Mojomaaa123543]] ([[User talk:Mojomaaa123543|talk]]) 00:08, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

::I understand and will do so. I’m not expecting you to fully understand, but there is a lot of discourse between Khmer and Thai people solely due to how similar our cultures are. So it’s really disheartening not just to me, but the Khmer community in general when we see pro-Thai rhetoric, which had occurred on the Khmer people Wikipedia page, in an attempt to erase and severely manipulate Khmer history, especially since I believe strongly in co-existence. I will still try to use the article talk page, but if there’s a pro-Thai vandal on the page, it is highly likely there would just be an argument about Khmer and Thai history rather than fixing the situation which could ultimately lead to a similar situation as now. I just want to clarify things for the future, but I will take your suggestions as you would know best. Thank you.

== New User needing help ==

Hey it is me again. So you seem to know a lot. So I saw wondering if you could give me some pointers.<br>
And please don't tell me to go through the Tutorial, I have been told to go there lots of times.<br>
I am not wanting to push any buttons (get it?). But anything you suggest I will read if I have not already.<br>
Don't worry I have not edited to much either, most of the edits were references, and removing old tags that did not apply anymore.<br>

:Sorry had updated my Signature and forgot to add Sheriff U3.[[User:Sheriff_U3|User Page]] [[User talk:Sheriff U3|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Sheriff_U3|Contributions]] Sheriff U3 04:44, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Sheriff U3}} People are recommending it because it's very good!
:1. I think you'd benefit from reading these:
:* [[WP:10SR|10 Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia]]
:* [[Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines/All|Introduction to policies and guidelines]]
:* [[Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/All|Introduction to referencing]]
:* [[Wikipedia:Civility|Civility]]
:2. More specific to referencing:
:* [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|Reliable sources]] for the basics.
:* [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources|Perennial sources]] if you are wondering about a specific source. If it's listed and green, use it. If it's yellow, try to find something better. If it's red, don't use it. And if it's not listed, consider asking on [[WP:RSN]] or just find a better source.
:3. For a longer list, check out this [[User:Chaotic Enby/Plain and simple guide to Wikipedia|Plain and simple guide to Wikipedia]].
:I hope this helps. Regards. [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] ([[User talk:Daniel Quinlan#top|talk]]) 06:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
::Yes as they are different ones then what others have shown me.<br>
::I do like referencing so far, I just did not know about the "no websites that sell" rule, and I will find others too.<br>
::I will read through them as I can. Thank you again. [[User:Sheriff_U3|User Page]] [[User talk:Sheriff U3|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Sheriff_U3|Contributions]] Sheriff U3 06:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
