This response [[Special:Diff/1116644127/1116644441]] was removed by User:El_c From User talk:El_C, so I am posting it here.
===Response by Venkat TL===
There is time zone difference and I was not allowed to give my side of the events and was promptly blocked. Since these are inaccurate allegations, this should not be allowed to go to archives without my response.

'''TLDR''' : TheWikiholic introduced several controversial edits on 2 articles without discussion, and edit warred to keep them without generating a consensus. The page was then restored to STATUSQUO version, after which TheWikiholic made a bad-faith report [[Special:Diff/1116469090]] without admitting his controversial edits caused the disruption and falsely accused me of restoring my preferred version, while in fact I had only restored the STATUS QUO version before the controversial edits were Introduced.

'''Details and diffs'''
After the page protection, I did not restore 'my version' as TheWikiholic above is accusing me of. I had restored the [[WP:STATUSQUO]] that is "Status Quo Ante version", prior to the sockpuppet disruption and controversial edits made by User:TheWikiholic. These edits by User:TheWikiholic had been disputed on the talk page and were added into the articles without consensus. They should not have been allowed in the first place and never restored without consensus at all. Yet he continued to restore and expected those controversial edits to remain on the page.

#In the case of [[2022 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election|2022 Himachal]] I restored the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2022_Himachal_Pradesh_Legislative_Assembly_election&oldid=1114181036 5 October version] by [[User:Dhruv edits]], not mine.
#Similarly, on [[2022 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election|2022 Gujarat]] I have restored the Status Quo Ante version, prior to the recent controversial edits made without consensus. I restored Status Quo version of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2022_Gujarat_Legislative_Assembly_election&oldid=1115487478 11 October] by User:Cosmo Sarjak not mine.

My intentions with the above 2 status quo ante reverts is made clear in the edit summary [[Special:Diff/1116386021/1116391357]], [[Special:Diff/1116360179/1116392179]] as well as the comments I made on the article talk page [[Special:Diff/1116394103]] and [[Special:Diff/1116449338/1116451377]].

Further, I had reached out to the users for cooperation [[Special:Diff/1116405200]], [[Special:Diff/1116103537/1116405678]], [[Special:Diff/1116201605/1116405546]] and as they replied on the talk page, the agreed to work with the Status quo Ante version and then work for consensus using dispute resolution mechanism such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2022_Himachal_Pradesh_Legislative_Assembly_election&oldid=1116464129#RfC_for_adding_party_switch_by_non_notable_politicians_into_the_Background_section the ongoing RFC] and discussion threads.

I am already continuously doing this before their advisory note, I am doing this through normal dispute resolution mechanisms like Talk page discussion threads that are ongoing and RFC. Diff list of my talk page edits [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Venkat+TL&page=Talk%3A2022_Himachal_Pradesh_Legislative_Assembly_election&server=enwiki&max= Himachal Pradesh] and [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Venkat+TL&page=Talk%3A2022+Gujarat+Legislative+Assembly+election&max=500&server=enwiki Gujarat].

Despite all these efforts by me on dispute resolution, I was deemed the defaulter of Wikipedia rules by El_C and promptly blocked without being given a chance to respond.

The page protection was requested to be downgraded from full protection, since other edits unrelated to the dispute was being prevented to be added. As an example, Himachal Pradesh election schedule was kept waiting on the talk page with the edit request for more than 24 hours, waiting for an admin on a fully protected page. The page protection was not reduced to restore someone's preferred version but to allow other edits and to not block the article improvement for a week, for an ongoing event article. In my opinion, the full protection should not have been applied in the first place for such an article, but that protection is admin discretion.

The inappropriate edits without consensus should not be allowed to remain on the article. The revert to Status Quo Ante should have been considered as a neutral edit, but the admin considered it edit warring to block me. --[[User:Venkat TL|Venkat TL]] ([[User talk:Venkat TL#top|talk]]) 16:45, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Teyora - Development first look!

Hi! I'm Ed6767, the original creator of RedWarn, now one of the most popular tools on the English Wikipedia that's been used by over 1,000 Wikimedians to make over 300,000 edits since mid-2020 that's been praised for its user friendliness and ease of use, but criticised for its limited functionality. I'm leaving this message as I think it may be of interest here - I left the RedWarn project in November to develop Teyora, my successor to RedWarn (alongside

UltraViolet
). It's a new in development web app that uses some of the latest web technologies to create a highly extendable all in one editing tool with a focus on administration, counter vandalism and general patrolling - not to mention, it'll work on every Wikimedia project without any prior configuration and can be used by any user with at least auto-confirmed rights*. Now, I'm ready to give the Wikimedia community a first look at what I've been doing over the past six months and what to expect going forward.

You can check out the 20 minute first look at the in development version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlpnzXdLP4.

There's lots more to expect too! Why not read the full details page at meta:Teyora and leave any feedback, comments or wishes at meta:Talk:Teyora (please leave any correspondence there to keep discussion centralised). If you're interested, you can leave your signature

*with basic features, advanced features require configuration. To prevent abuse, auto-confirmed users will be in a restricted mode until approved by an admin or via rollback rights.

All the best, ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 23:19, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About proposals in general

I've closed an RFC on and implemented your Indian constituency naming convention, but I hope you understand that you should not implement a proposal until an RFC about whether to implement it or not is closed. Closing allows other people to more easily sense that a proposal is definitely to be implemented, and cut down on all the confusion that was at the root of that AN/I thread about your moves. Thank you for your time. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 08:02, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellohi! thank you for taking out the time to close this. Yes, I get your point. At the time when the moves were made by me, @MPGuy2824: and @IJohnKennady:, the proposal was open for more than a month with all 6 support and no oppose. The page rename discussions are generally open for 7 days. RfCs when they get clear consensus are closed earlier too. As I pointed on the ANI thread also, this brouhaha was more about grinding axe than the content disupte about page move. Both usernamekiran and Daxserver have past history with me, after which I am steering clear from them. In conclusion I agree that I should have asked a formal closure to avoid all this that happened. Learnt a lesson. Venkat TL (talk) 08:11, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not surprised that it was deleted. Politicians who have not won election or did not do any major work are generally not fit for creating article on wikipedia.

Election results data on constituency pages

Hey Venkat TL, I was wondering if there is a place where we can get election result data from. Like to see which MLA won from how many votes from what area. I am planning to add the data for all 243 constituencies in Bihar but can't find any data. You can see an example of what I am talking about here: Bisfi Assembly constituency. Also, I saw that you were working on renaming the pages of Vidhan sabha seats to have the state name in them as well. I was wondering if I could help with that because I can work on some other states if you would like. I would love to collaborate on future projects as well. Thanks User:Yellow alligator

User:Yellow alligator you can get this info from ECI database, follow the ext link at Madhepura_Assembly_constituency#External_links.
Template:Election_Results_table can be used to add the result table for every election. using the database above.
The rename of constituency is already done. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Indian constituencies) explains how to choose the name, the state name is only added when there are 2 constituency with same name, This is mostly completed, but if you find something that needs fixing, please post them on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Indian constituencies)
WP:POI
is the wikiproject where you can see how to help, there are many things to do, that you can choose from.
Please fix your signature, seek help from

Openstreetmap and Wikipedia maps

Hey

Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway page you can see that I have added the source code but something is still wrong. I know that you have to get the wikidata tag and put that into the source code in order for it to work and I did do that. But it still seems to not be working and I was wondering if you could please help with that because you said that you have learned how to use these kinds of maps.

AWB issues

Bringing this to your attention. Please remove such sources completely. Also, i found a few instances where you added the constituency infobox, but didn't remove the old settlement infobox. Can you take a look at those too? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:58, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of constituency articles that have both infoboxes. I don't know if all of them were done by you, but could you please take a look at them. If it is not easy to fix with AWB, then i can help you with a few articles daily. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:02, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824, After automatically removing the site name, I had to manually remove the left over bits. I seem to have missed this one. It was a mistake. Thanks for cleaning this up for me. I deliberately left the settlement infobox due to the map it has. I don't see a problem in the map being displayed on the settlement infobox, until we figure out how to put the maps in the Assembly constituency infobox. There is no rule that demands only 1 infobox in a page and even if it was a rule, I would prefer ignoring it as I feel having a map in the page is helpful for the reader.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khajauli_Assembly_constituency&oldid=1102287177
this is how it looks right now. Would it look better if the map would be in the first infobox yes. But I dont know how to merge this map, so till someone does it, the map can remain in separate infobox. I dont see the map as problematic here, so I left it. Venkat TL (talk) 08:48, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See if [1] works for you. Its slightly clunky, i know. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:36, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824 looks great. Now I know how to merge the maps. What is clunky here? cant see any problem. Venkat TL (talk) 10:39, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The clunky part is the template-type code in article space. I'll see if there is something better that i can find. If i don't reply back here in a couple of days, feel free to use this method. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824, the best method is to do something like Behala Paschim Assembly constituency, but it needs the Openstreet maps to be marked. So there is a technical overhead to implement that. The pushpin map above, though not great, is better than nothing. Venkat TL (talk) 10:52, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Venkat Comment your opnion on the Talk section of Kartikeya/Murugan page.

I have initiated a Talk on the Murugan Page to address Kartikeya as Murugan from here on. For now it is not Move the entire page but only to address him primarily as Murugan. I hope you could provide some comments in support.


Muruganadimai (talk) 20:19, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Muruganadimai yes, as you have seen on the talk page, I had made lot of efforts in discussing and trying to explain the mistake and the problem. It is not getting changed because enough editors are not commenting there asking for correction. And the existing editors think Murugan is not the popular name. Venkat TL (talk) 14:58, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Venkat TL: Hey Venkat, what's your opinion on splitting the page into Murugan and Kartikeya? I'm not sure of the possibility as I don't about the wikipedia policy much. If it's possible then we can put forward a case to split the page into two. There's lot more to write about Murugan than Kartikeya. The majority of this deity's history is with Tamils and we could put together a wonderful article under Murugan page. The problem keeping Murugan under Kartikeya is that we weren't allowed to expand information about Murugan and relevant Tamil worship. Every time you write something about Murugan in this page then these editors come and plug the word Kartikeya into the same article and thereby confusing the reader. For example, I wrote about a Murugan Temples in Australia that were built by Tamils and some editor changed the word Murugan to Kartikeya. When content gets mostly about tamil worship of Murugan they get so pissed off and plug in Kartikeya-Murugan. For This is nothing but a North Indian propaganda in my opinion.
Some editors get pissed off that they remove anything they see about Tamil contribution for Murugan, They removed the Tamil Om picture (which is alway identified with Murugan) and they removed details and pictures of many Murugan temple built by Tamils around the world.
Ideally the page should be named as Murugan else it should be split into two. For example how there are separate pages for Kataragama deviyo and Kartikeya even though it's same deity. If you see Parvati, Mahadevi, Durga, Meenakshi etc have got separate page here even though they are all the same deity. Muruganadimai (talk) 03:24, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map on List of constituencies of the Rajasthan legislative Assembly

The map on the article List of constituencies of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly showing the constituencies is wrong, other than numbering errors,it has a major shortcoming that it fails to show the constituencies in the urban parts of Jaipur and you can see a different version of this filled map in 2018 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election, you can see the Jaipur constituency enlarged too.

So if you know someone who makes such blank maps, ask him to replace the map with a corrected map with all urban constituencies visible and enlarged if necessary and reserved seats for SC ST are clearly portrayed. सत्यान्वेषी (talk) 14:01, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Don't transclude the infobox of legislative assembly articles into legislative terms (like you did for Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and 15th Rajasthan Assembly).

Hey. Look, you can't maneuver around the ethos of m:The Wrong Version. Unrelated to the humorous tone of that page, that's not just a project-wide, but a movement-wide principle. When you asked me to downgrade the full protections, I said: I mean, I guess, but that'll mean blocks for extended-confirmed users who continue the edit war, yourself included (diff, emphasis added). You responded with: Yes. please downgrade (diff). I think I explained to you clearly enough that ONUS / BRD, while recommended, are not binding like CR. Otherwise, the imbalance between longstanding and contending versions would become grossly skewed in all instances (of content disputes).

And yet you still went on to continue the edit war less than a day after I did that. I'll do you the courtesy of not going the

WP:RSN
, etc. Since this is only a p-block, you can begin doing so immediately, and I wish you success in finding an amicable end to both. The p-block template:

edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  El_C 00:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

This response Special:Diff/1116644127/1116644441 was removed by User:El_c From User talk:El_C, so I am posting it here.

Response by Venkat TL

There is time zone difference and I was not allowed to give my side of the events and was promptly blocked. Since these are inaccurate allegations, this should not be allowed to go to archives without my response.

TLDR : TheWikiholic introduced several controversial edits on 2 articles without discussion, and edit warred to keep them without generating a consensus. The page was then restored to STATUSQUO version, after which TheWikiholic made a bad-faith report Special:Diff/1116469090 without admitting his controversial edits caused the disruption and falsely accused me of restoring my preferred version, while in fact I had only restored the STATUS QUO version before the controversial edits were Introduced.

Details and diffs After the page protection, I did not restore 'my version' as TheWikiholic above is accusing me of. I had restored the

WP:STATUSQUO
that is "Status Quo Ante version", prior to the sockpuppet disruption and controversial edits made by User:TheWikiholic. These edits by User:TheWikiholic had been disputed on the talk page and were added into the articles without consensus. They should not have been allowed in the first place and never restored without consensus at all. Yet he continued to restore and expected those controversial edits to remain on the page.

  1. In the case of 2022 Himachal I restored the 5 October version by User:Dhruv edits, not mine.
  2. Similarly, on 2022 Gujarat I have restored the Status Quo Ante version, prior to the recent controversial edits made without consensus. I restored Status Quo version of 11 October by User:Cosmo Sarjak not mine.

My intentions with the above 2 status quo ante reverts is made clear in the edit summary Special:Diff/1116386021/1116391357, Special:Diff/1116360179/1116392179 as well as the comments I made on the article talk page Special:Diff/1116394103 and Special:Diff/1116449338/1116451377.

Further, I had reached out to the users for cooperation Special:Diff/1116405200, Special:Diff/1116103537/1116405678, Special:Diff/1116201605/1116405546 and as they replied on the talk page, the agreed to work with the Status quo Ante version and then work for consensus using dispute resolution mechanism such as the ongoing RFC and discussion threads.

I am already continuously doing this before their advisory note, I am doing this through normal dispute resolution mechanisms like Talk page discussion threads that are ongoing and RFC. Diff list of my talk page edits Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat.

Despite all these efforts by me on dispute resolution, I was deemed the defaulter of Wikipedia rules by El_C and promptly blocked without being given a chance to respond.

The page protection was requested to be downgraded from full protection, since other edits unrelated to the dispute was being prevented to be added. As an example, Himachal Pradesh election schedule was kept waiting on the talk page with the edit request for more than 24 hours, waiting for an admin on a fully protected page. The page protection was not reduced to restore someone's preferred version but to allow other edits and to not block the article improvement for a week, for an ongoing event article. In my opinion, the full protection should not have been applied in the first place for such an article, but that protection is admin discretion.

The inappropriate edits without consensus should not be allowed to remain on the article. The revert to Status Quo Ante should have been considered as a neutral edit, but the admin considered it edit warring to block me. --Venkat TL (talk) 16:45, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Venkat TL (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I had not violated

WP:3RR. The blocking admin in block notice said " I suggest trying to reach resolution to these disputes on the respective article talk pages... you can begin doing so immediately", and they totally ignored that I am already continuously doing this before their advisory note, I am doing this through normal dispute resolution mechanisms like Talk page discussion threads that are ongoing and RFC. Diff list of my talk page edits Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. Since this page block does not prevent anything hence I request that my partial block be lifted, I have already stated on talk page, that I wish to work with other users for consensus on these controversial edits, and I do not wish to edit war. Venkat TL (talk) 06:54, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
]

Decline reason:


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

331dot, I have already been doing all that and much more to the best of my abilities. Neither the blocking admin, nor declining admin have noted, what does Wikipedia acheieve by preventing me from updating the page. If the intention is to prevent edit war, I have explicitly noted in my unblock request. --Venkat TL (talk) 08:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please refer to details in above note. Main points,
(1) 331dot agrees that there was no 3RR violation.
(2) I was already continuing with ongoing dispute resolution mechanisms on talk page.
(3) Blocks are not punitive, there is nothing that this block achieves
(4) Only I was blocked and for restoring the
WP:STATUSQUO
version prior to controversial edits. hence unfair
(5) unfair to only prevent me from updating the page
(6) I have agreed not to edit war and the admin with hawk eyes are already watching and would be welcome to block for any policy violation.

So I kindly request an unblock Venkat TL (talk) 08:13, 17 October 2022 (UTC) That's not what I said. I said that you were not blocked specifically for violating 3RR. You do not have to violate 3RR to be edit warring. 331dot (talk) 08:30, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What updates do you intend to make, if there are content disputes with regards to this article? 331dot (talk) 08:31, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

331dot, ok, It is my understanding that editors are only blocked when there is a 3RR violation (which was not in my case, hence I pointed). I had reported Het666 for 6 instances of edit warring in 24 hours, yet he was not blocked for the same reason. I intend to make all kinds of edits, such as updating schedule, updating major events in this ongoing event article, candidates, etc . Specifically I do not intend to edit the controversial lines that we have a dispute over, and are being discussed on the talk page for consensus. Venkat TL (talk) 09:02, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As
WP:EW states, "The three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly; it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is absolutely possible to engage in edit warring without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so." My advice would be that you should avoid directly editing the article while there are content disputes, at least without discussion, as they could be inflamed. But, any decision here will be up to someone else. 331dot (talk) 09:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
]
(1) 331dot agrees that there was no 3RR violation.
As they repeatedly note above, they declined because counting reverts is not needed to invoke edit warring enforcement. It's not just about quantity, there's also qualitative discretion.
(2) I was already continuing with ongoing dispute resolution mechanisms on talk page.
Your preferred version currently stands because you resumed the edit warring after warning.
(3) Blocks are not punitive, there is nothing that this block achieves
Edit warring blocks after warning are not punitive.
(4) Only I was blocked and for restoring the STATUSQUO version prior to controversial edits. hence unfair
It was fair. You were warned against edit warring. And further warned that 'STATUSQUO version' is not an exemption from it.
(5) unfair to only prevent me from updating the page
You're the only one who who re-started the edit war in both pages; the only one who asked for the protection to be downgraded to even be able to do that; and the only one who was warned expressly against it.
(6) I have agreed not to edit war and the admin with hawk eyes are already watching and would be welcome to block for any policy violation.
You agreed not to edit war before, so what's meaningfully different now? *** Taking all of the above in, I'm even more concerned now than I was before. Venkat TL, from my perspective: either you've not understood what I had written to you in my block message (and my talk page prior), or, you're being deliberately obtuse. Neither option is good.
Now, this may be a one-off, who knows (someone probably, but not I), however, if it isn't, then that's a problem. But if those are issues are mostly limited to the
WP:TBAN
from the entire ARBIND topic area.
Now, I'm not gonna do anything else unless something new that's actionable happens — outside the unblock appeals on this talk page, of course. I don't intend on undermining the unblock process, regardless of anything. But, as mentioned, Venkat TL, if I see you try to
WP:GAME the system again in the future, there'll probably be an escalation in enforcement. So I urge you to heed that warning and do better moving forward, especially when it involves a topic area that is already volatile. El_C 09:30, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
]
@El C
(1) Still there was no 3RR violation. No ongoing disruption in last 24 hours. No immediate need for the block citing Edit war.
(2) It is immaterial. The version restored to was not 'my version', the restored version as edited by another user was prior to my version. I have reverted to Status Quo Ante version following
WP:STATUSQUO
, Are you saying the version I reverted is NOT STATUSQUO ANTE? It is not my fault if an editor disrupts the page and then the status quo ante version is someone's allegedly preferred version. Please explicitly reply if it is STATUS quo ante or not.
(3) This is clearly a punitive and unfair one sided block and the block was placed after I restored the STATUS QUO ante version. If you would have been a fair admin, you would not have spared the User:TheWikiholic who originally introduced the disputed content and edit warred over it and User:Het666 who made 6 edit war reverts. But you found me responsible eventhough I was making all efforts to reach talk page consensus.
(4), (5) I would not have called it unfair if all the participants involved in edit war were given same treatment. Very unfortunate that you are only singling me out.
(6) I do not consider that my edit in which I restored the status Quo Ante version written by another editor was an edit warring. You disagree. We agree to disagree.
In my last comment I have noted "Specifically I do not intend to edit the controversial lines that we have a dispute over, and are being discussed on the talk page for consensus." Venkat TL (talk) 09:46, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
TLDR: El C The article was fine and editors had cosensus until User:Wikiholic came along and pushed in controversial content without consensus. Edit warred over it. After Status Quo ante version was restored, he went to your page and you promptly blocked me (and "only me"), without waiting for my response. After I explained the entire situation, the circumstances of the unfair block and made an unblock request you are now alleging I am gaming. I am sorry to repeat this but from all the admins I have come across so far, you are the most unfair admin I have seen. --Venkat TL (talk) 10:09, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Venkat TL, your replies continue to be unresponsive and repetitive to an increasingly concerning degree, which I think, at the very least, calls to question your
competence in this matter. I have nothing further to add at time, except perhaps that continuing to do so ultimately works against your own interests. El_C 12:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

El_C I have tried to respond to each point of your comment. Why unresponsive? what did I miss? If you or 331dot believe that my unblock request has anything lacking please do let me know so that I can include it for the next admin. --Venkat TL (talk) 13:30, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, I feel like your arguments continue to be unresponsive to my salient points, to the extent that I've since given up trying to explain these to you in various different ways. Maybe re-read (closely) all our exchanges again and try to respond pointedly (content-wise rather than format-wise). El_C 15:18, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:STATUSQUO
version prior to controversial edits, even though the disputed content was introduced by other user. hence unfair
(5) unfair to only prevent me from updating the page
