Daniel Case

Hi, welcome to the 25th volume of my talk page.

Time to drop the protection of Sweden?

It's been a year since Sweden was EC protected. The UK has experienced the same thing which has since dropped to autoconfirmed protection. Since Sweden has less 1/6th of the population than the UK, is it time to drop the protection to semi? WP:TRYUNPROT JuniperChill (talk) 15:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Since it's EC, I think you should make this a formal request at WP:RPPD and see if there's a consensus of admins. Daniel Case (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Update

Anwar Ali page needs much longer protection/ip bans, mbsg page needs vandalism bans... Cenderabird (talk) 12:21, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Your assistance please

I am seeking to nominate File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3 and others at FFD, and have created a nomination just now at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 July 24#File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3.

I am perplexed to find on the file page for the initial show on the nomination a large and highly relevant notice signed by you instead of the nomination I expected. I have no idea how to proceed to place the notice on all the other files as I assume I must do, and woudl appreciate your help. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

I haven't edited that file page. Sure you're messaging the right person? Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

I am kind of sure. Would you mind having a look at "my" file page and see if I am going nuts? I may have done something wrong! I don't usually hang out at FFD 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Please do not worry. I will try the HelpDesk 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Did you see the nomination I made at the top of the FfD page? Daniel Case (talk) 20:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

National Iranian American Council

Do you mind upping your protection to EC? One editor is already over AC and the other is only a couple edits away. S0091 (talk) 21:01, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done When I looked at the recent disruption none of the non-blocked editors were at AC. Daniel Case (talk) 21:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Hopefully that will force discussion or dispute resolution, if needed. S0091 (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Short article GA

Hey, since you have worked with GAs, I would like to make a question. I recently recreated Hasan Zyko Kamberi after its deletion for copyright issues. There isn't much info available on the subject, as he is merely known as the author of a few short poems. After a few small content additions and copyediting, the length of the article will be around 5k-6k bytes. Can such an article become a GA, or is the very short length an issue in such cases? Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

If that's really all we can say about him, maybe it can be. (Consider that New York State Route 311 is an FA despite being only 18K). Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I think I will also add a small background for his literary genre and a few verses from his poems (though most of them remain unpublished in the archives), so maybe it somehow reaches 8k. haha Thank you for your response. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sini Shetty

Thank you for your article protection. The rambling is continuing over at Talk:Sini Shetty. I have asked the IP user to follow the appeal process as stated at Wikipedia:Contentious topics, and not on the talk page, but this hasn't worked. Sciencefish (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I have basically asked them for the receipts. Daniel Case (talk) 02:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Hey, this user has not made any constructive changes despite warnings. Their work is all but edit warring and additions that violate MOS:FILMAUDIENCE and/or WP:V. ภץאคгöร 16:47, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I explained in more detail on the article talk page (They may not be aware of what you wrote in your edit summaries). Let's see what happens. Daniel Case (talk) 03:06, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks but they are still not aware, or at least they act like they are not aware. ภץאคгöร 17:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

I posted again to answer their question about why their edit was removed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Skibidi Toilet ECProtection

Hi, I think it's time to try lowering protection. Vandalism/unhelpful edit was at a maintainable degree, and the plot and episode count needs frequent updates from editors who watched the series. I suggest reducing down to pending changes or semi-protection. The hype has largely died down so I expect less disruption. Ca ^{talk to me!} 13:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

I have reduced it to semi. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

red accounts/IPs

Hi Daniel. I've read the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations brief. I'm not sure if that is even the right page for my suspicion. All I have a is a mild suspicion. Three users all agreement on a subject within a few days; one an IP, one a brand new redlink. Do IPs get checked/scanned regularly for multiple users sort of thing? I'm not even too sure how to phrase it.Halbared (talk) 22:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

What page are you referring to? Daniel Case (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Reform_UK#Political_position_of_Reform_UK.Halbared (talk) 08:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hmm. One of them does look sort of interesting given that it made two edits to that page on the day it was created, and only there ... not something most new users do. The other redlink has less than a hundred edits but it's been around for four years.

No, IPs are not checkusered routinely like that (blocking them as open proxies is a different matter, though) ... we have to have some suspicion of misuse. Daniel Case (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

List of video games with LGBT characters

Appreciate you locking the page yet again, but I do wonder if the duration can't be extended this time? Like, this has been going on for a solid year now, so I'm not convinced it's going to stop any time soon (if ever), and I hate having to keep bothering you to do it again every time. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Request for Autopatrolled right

Hello Daniel,

I humbly request the Wikipedia:Autopatrolled right to be able to reduce the workload of other editors as I have created numerous articles which you can comfirm independently aside from the list on my User page. Most of my articles are based on current events and always needed urgent patrol to be indexed and be public to readers. I will create new articles in the future which makes having this right paramount. My latest article created is End Bad Governance protests.

I am optimistic and look forward to your favorable reply. Thanks. Wår (talk) 09:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

That's supposed to be handled at WP:PERM. Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Anon is back

Hello Daniel Case, The anon you warned earlier has returned with the same disruptive behaviour. I’ve issued another warning, but would you prefer to handle this directly, or should I report them again? Since their IP keeps changing, would it be possible to consider semi-protecting the Sant Singh Maskeen page to prevent further issues? Thank you, GSS ^💬 13:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

They haven't stopped even after issuing another warning, so I've formally submitted a page protection request which seems to be the best option. GSS ^💬 13:42, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

IP disruption at Knafeh

Hey, you previously protected Knafeh so that only autoconfirmed can edit it, then another admin changed it to extended confirmed access, but I think he did something wrong, because the protection ended a day after.

An IP is now disruting the article again. im contacting you because the other admin hasnt edited for a month. Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 02:11, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, what happened is that Amortias probably wasn't aware that when you upgrade an existing semi-protection to EC, it doesn't layer ... it won't go back to semi after the ECP expires. A lot of admins who work on this would like the developers to change that so the protections layer, like they do with pending changes.

Anyway, do you want me to restore just the semi for now since it was the IP that was being disruptive? Daniel Case (talk) 02:29, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

ECP would be better, but if you only want SP it would be better than nothing. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 03:40, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey immediately after you blocked and reverted the edits of @Samirlalas their sovkpuppet IP @148.252.145.93 restored the edits an 1 later I have reverted the edits but I suggest you block their IP address as well and add an indefinite protection for that article so only registered users with a username can edit that article. Thank You. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 11:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

I blocked that IP for two weeks. As for protection, I don't see enough disruption in the history to justify an indefinite semi, or at least one longer than that as the recent activity is only a few days old. Of course if they continue to sock, I can reconsider. Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

@95.145.186.54 is another account that evaded the block of the last two accounts you blocked and has restored their version of edits again at Monumentum Adulitanum and Rauso. Evident block evasion. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 14:47, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

OK. I have:

• protected that page for six months and logged it as a CTOPS protection under WP:CT/HORN, and
• blocked 148.252.144.0/22 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from editing that article as well as Somali clans, Cushitic languages and of course Monumentum Adulitanum (there are people on that range editing other articles constructively).

Could I borrow your eyes again for a moment?

I believe [4] this amounts to a BLP vio on defamation of a respected scientist, so might need RD? Raladic (talk) 23:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Mmm ... it's disparaging, yes, and properly deleted, but are those claims generally accepted as true? Daniel Case (talk) 00:15, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

That's why I wanted your eyes to know if it needs RD or if deletion is enough.

The claims the user made are entirely wrong, as can be seen by the sourcing of the article itself, the BLP in question is an expert in the field, not just a parent of a transgender child, who has authored numerous peer reviewed journal articles in the field and is employed as a scientist by a University in the field. Raladic (talk) 00:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

OK, then, we'll do it. Daniel Case (talk) 00:21, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

The same user just repeated the same claim again on the BLP talk page... - [5].

There is an active AE thread (which I started) on the user - Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Peckedagain, but no admin action has been taken yet and the user continues to disrupt the content talk space arguing with just about every user they are interacting with, at this point I'm losing confidence whether a topic ban is enough or whether they need a timeout. Raladic (talk) 01:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Latest socks of User:JamesOredan/User:Venezia Friulano

The last you blocked was DrakeXper. Most recently, the following socks have been blocked by other admins at my request or independently: Claudio di Roma, Dreom, Ocean Stones, Combrils and Fauvertt. Can these newborns be checked by you: Ananscumber, Manfil and Pikeras? There are others but these to me are the most obvious. I have also opened a case at the incidents noticeboard cause I think Manfil and maybe the other one are literally inventing sources to push the usual agenda. Barjimoa (talk) 09:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, and based on an edit war in the French wiki it's obvious 85.235.68.81 and 46.222.166.38 are other IPs of James/Venezia, if that can be of any help. Barjimoa (talk) 09:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

I will get to this a little later. Daniel Case (talk) 12:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked the registered accounts indef and 85.235 for two weeks. Since he has not used 46.222 on enwiki yet, there is no reason to block it locally. Yet. Daniel Case (talk) 15:36, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Looks like 46.222 has made an edit (as 46.222.200.247) and the tourism in Italy page (targeted by 82.325 and Pikeras) is being targeted by another suspicious account (pointed out by this other user: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Barjimoa&diff=prev&oldid=1241500066). Both are removing content in Italy-related pages, which is a thing he does often.Barjimoa (talk) 19:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked Dromble indef and that 46.222 for two weeks, along with 90.166.192.27 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), which had been making similar edits to Tourism in Italy and also resolves to Spain. I looked at the range 46.222.128.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)), which would take in both mentioned IPs, but as it is very wide it has a lot of legitimate use and so there would be too much collateral damage from a sitewide block. Of course, if you look through the contribs and find any other edits that appear to be him, let me know ... it might be possible that a narrower rangeblock could be done.

Keeps vandalising, ban seems really needed Cenderabird (talk) 02:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

You mean Johnchristo42? You should really warn him first ... they haven't gotten any for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 04:09, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Your denial of my page protection increase requests

I requested page protection increases for Perikatan Nasional and Malaysian United Indigenous Party due to disruptive editing and you denied them with the justification that there hasn't been enough of said activity. So exactly how many times does this anonymous user have to keep adding deleted content for it to be "enough"? Since your refusal they've done it a third time; so I need to wait for the fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Genuinely sorry if this comes off as a bit blunt, but I hope you can understand that I'm feeling quite frustrated. Their most recent edit on the MUIP page had an edit summary of "THAT'S ENOUGH STOP THAT NOW !!!" - directed at me, obviously. No rebuttal of my reasoning - just a demand for me to stop.

Usually we grant protection if the page is being overwhelmed at the time of the request. This editor seems to be spacing things out. Also, other IPs seem to be making constructive contributions; it would not be fair to them.

So what might work? A rangeblock, perhaps just limited to those two articles. If you can take the trouble to list all the IPs they've been using, I'll see what I can do. Daniel Case (talk) 16:57, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Oscar bait

Hi @Daniel Case. I wanted to reach out and ask something about a page you were the main contributor on, Oscar bait. I brought up a year ago about whether the Oscar bait#List of films considered "Oscar bait" that failed to earn any Oscar nominations section was necessary, because I think it represents undue weight and also reads as trivia without being informative of what is considered "Oscar bait". For instance, there are films considered "Oscar bait" that did manage to get Oscar nominations/wins, i.e. Shakespeare in Love, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but the list only focuses on shutouts. Furthermore, any film that had a degree of Oscar buzz but got shutout will be referred to as "Oscar bait" by entertainment websites, listicles, or content mills; does that justify their inclusion in the article? I should also note that the editor who contributed that list has a history of synthesis, original research, and making lists for the sake of lists. The other contributor has a similar history of original research.

My suggestion is that the list be removed. The films listed are obviously similar to the films covered on the podcast This Had Oscar Buzz (link to episode list). Heck, 14 of the films listed under the 2000s are early THOB episodes. I think including a citation for the THOB podcast in the article would suffice and would also give credit to the podcast for identifying the type of films discussed in the article. Thanks.
