Kalpana Mohan Page

Hi, Oshwah sorry to trouble you again. I have written twice on April 11 & 16 to Bbb23 but no response. It has been almost a month now since the changes he made on 23 March 2019 at Kalpana Mohan Page. He is not responding to me nor did he responded to your mail which you had forwarded to him April 02. I am sorry but I do not feel the matter is been handled in a fair manner. The changes were made without even asking about my point of view. If you remember you had asked me to explain my point before you made changes. Please advice me on the above matter what course of action can be taken as they are simply destroying a rare Legend Filmography & deprived her Fans about her body of work, the legacy she left behind. I need a fair assessment. No restraint has been followed on this matter. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yashkkaryan (talk • contribs) 19:23, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

neutral point of view... I don't see an issue. You just need to make sure that all of these points are met before you make the changes. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:34, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

cite these changes? We really should locate and have one before we add this to the article... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:54, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

This a common issue in Indian popular culture, and Indian cinema especially; I used to handle a lot of this kind of stuff (especially per AfC). Many of the sources are unreliable. As far as the subject though, she seems notable in this subject area (IMHO), but reliable sources are lacking... But admittedly this is because of the state of mass media in India, though, which tends toward tabloid exhaltaion. Many of the local editions of the Times of India (for example), can't be used for most subjects, due to puffery and lack of editorial oversight. Yashkkaryan, can you find any additional reliable sources (domestic or international) that mention her in detail beyond a rephrasing of a press release? Something in other languages is perfectly fine, even if English sources are preferred. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 00:02, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IP 135.0.12.60

Hi Oswah. Single use IP 135.0.12.60 has been adding disgusting vandalism to Paul Newman and an IP editor has complained at WP:Help desk. Unfortunately warnings have not been issued, so I can't take it to ANV directly. If you have a moment can you take a quick look. Thanks, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 20:03, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Martin of Sheffield! Thanks for the heads up! The vandalism you speak of was actually added by 216.213.227.145; the 135.0.12.60 user was actually removing the vandalism. ;-) No worries, though... I'll keep an eye out and take care of things. Thanks again! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:36, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Filter 985

Curious why you've created that when 614 covers the hits with sub(?:scrib(?:e|es|ed|ing))?\s*(?:to|2)\s*(?:p(ew|ud|ue|uw|oo)|te*.?series). Also, (user_editcount == null & user_age == 0) is unnecessary as null is less than any number. Galobtter (pingó mió) 20:07, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Galobtter - HA! I thought that such an edit filter might already exist... I'll take a look at it and see what the differences are. It's interesting that other admins requested this earlier today (which is why I built it); they must not have been aware of this edit filter either. Oh okay... I guess I'm just used to C++ and other programming languages where null isn't a number at all, and hence can't be used in a conditional statement with operators such as > and <. Thanks for the heads up about the edit filter and how I threw together the code; I'm definitely going to take a look and figure out the best course of action from there. We definitely don't want to have more than one filter doing the exact same things if we can avoid it... :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Galobtter - Thanks again for the message here. I took a look at the regex code for edit filter 614, and it definitely should capture the edits that filter 985 was designed to do. I'm just curious as to why I see these edits pop up on Huggle when I patrol recent changes. I'll need to look at my contributions, find a revision where this is true, and figure out what's going on. In the meantime, I've disabled the edit filter I created earlier today; no need to have more than one filter running that does the exact same thing. ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:52, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of minor userpage change

I've found a part of your userpage that says "a 200MHz intel Pentium processor." I took note of the fact that the brand Intel is not capitalized, and I assumed that you'd be fine with me capitalizing the brand name on your user page. If you do have any objections to this, I'll revert it ASAP, however if not, then the issue with capitalization is fixed.

Kalpana Mohan Page

Hi, the reason for writing Kalpana filmography is for her fans. After more than 5 decades since Kalpana stop working, she is still remembered as the most beautiful actress of her era. It’s sad that most of her die heart fan remember her for 1 or 2 movies, while she has worked in a handful of movies where her performance was par excellent. You guys can visit the link to check https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0436200/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

My point is the above link & info about her life were part of her earlier edition of Wikipedia. My contribution to the list I have done research on the list of her movies for accuracy like the year of release, the character she played in them. Director name & her co-stars. I can send you the link to her movie. You can trust the above website for accuracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yashkkaryan (talk • contribs) 20:30, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi
notable enough, reliable sources that can be cited and used to support the information will certainly pop up.

good faith and into the territory of being blatant disruption - especially given the fact that I fixed it once, warned the user to not do that again and to get help, and then he/she does that... Either way, it looks like the user is indefinitely blocked. Hopefully, if their goal really is to contribute positively to the encyclopedia, they'll return and appeal the block and be given another chance down the road.

Hojat Rahimi issue

why did you deleted Hojat Rahimi's article. He has proper google evidence to prove him a musician. So no matter's about recreation. if he is a real celebrity he has eligible to make a wiki article right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sajidulislampathan (talk • contribs) 21:38, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sajidulislampathan - The article was repeatedly created by users who were abusing multiple accounts, evading blocks and bans, and violating Wikipedia policies. By principle and Wikipedia policy, any articles or pages that were created by users who were violating Wikipedia's sock puppetry, blocking, or banning policies at the time will usually be deleted. Otherwise, we'd be inadvertently rewarding the users for their behavior and encouraging it to continue if we were known to keep articles written by users during their block or ban. We don't blindly follow this rule each and every time, but for the most part we'll implement the rule (or not) so that it works in the favor of the project and the encyclopedia. Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks for the message and I wish you a great day. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:20, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Research on Sockpuppets

Hi Oshwah, I'm relatively new to wikipedia, but I've been observing for a few months now. I'm reaching out because I recently became interested in sockpuppets and I saw that you are listed as an admin of some sort involving investigations of sock puppets [and you seem approachable based on your user profile! :) ].

The beginning of an edit war with Ello Creative sock puppet accounts

Oshwah I emailed you last week regarding an edit made, which I undid, to the page of Florida banker turned politician Jay Fant ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Fant ) though I did not receive a reply.

Another account just redid the same edit, and I suspect this may be the beginning of an edit war. I am notifying you again so that prompt action may be taken. These accounts have edited similar politicians' pages, and are likely part of the same paid political consultancy, Ello Creative, working on behalf of their clients. These edits violate Wikipedia policies for neutrality, conflict of interest, and paid disclosure. Their edits should be deleted, and if this type of conduct persists then the consultancy's accounts should not be allowed to modify pages.


Here is the content of my original email:

Hi Oshwah,

I just noticed by chance that there was an attempt made today by a paid political consultancy, Ello Creative, to edit the page of a former banker, Jay Fant ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Fant ) in order to remove his culpability* for failing his bank. I undid the consultancy's edit on the Jay Fant page, but I also noticed they made edits to other pages involving clients. I wonder if their edits should be deleted in general, and what steps should be taken to perhaps remove their ability from making changes to the site.

Here is the explanation I wrote when undoing the consultancy's edit:

"The edit was made by a paid political consultancy Ello Creative to "massage" the name and reputation of their client Jay Fant, a banker who became too greedy with commercial real estate loans and failed his bank. The edit violates Wikipedia standards for neutrality. Other work the political consultancy has done on Wikipedia should also be investigated."


https://www.jacksonville.com/business/2012-01-27/story/state-shuts-down-first-guaranty-jacksonvilles-oldest-bank https://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/news/2012/01/27/first-guaranty-bank-and-trust-co-of.html https://www.jacksonville.com/news/metro/2012-02-04/story/first-guaranty-sought-survival-until-its-final-day http://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/06/20/jay-fant-doesnt-mention-his-bank-failures-in-application-for-banking-regulator/

"Banking regulators at OFR found that under Fant's leadership, the bank started offering riskier commercial real estate loans, including loans to people with questionable backgrounds. When the Great Recession hit, the bank went under. That version of events is nowhere in his application to become OFR commissioner, overseeing the very regulators who shut down his bank. The Florida Cabinet could choose the next OFR commissioner as early as next week. ... "On Tuesday, Fant announced he was dropping out of the attorney general's race and would instead throw in to become OFR commissioner. He blamed his bank's failure on "wayward government policy."

Hi NeutralityEnforcer! Thanks for the message and the email, and I apologize for the delay responding to both... Life has kept me busy lately, and I'm just now getting caught up with all of my Wikipedia messages. ;-) As I stated in the email response: If the content is referenced by secondary reliable sources that are independent of the article subject, the edits should be restored. Just make sure that you review the text and make sure that it's neutral, well referenced, and that it complies with Wikipedia's policies. But yeah, if the user is removing content for "I don't like it" reasons, because they're being paid to remove bad things about people, or for reasons that aren't sufficient - restore the content and talk to the user. If it becomes repeated or starts to venture into "edit warring" territory, report the user to ANI (especially if you suspect that the motivations are due to the user being paid to edit and remove this content). Let me know if I can answer any other questions, and I'll be happy to do so. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:15, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Userpage, etc.

Hello and good day. I am contacting you as to the reason for the deletion of my information. I am also curious as to the exact meaning of being a "troll" on Wikipedia. This all began when I asked a fellow user for a preferred, or best to their liking, type of source citation when someone was a former officer of the organization in question. Instead of getting a reply Background from said user, I received the user's forward to you, in which the user stated that I could be a "troll", and there after my page was deleted. In the message to the user, I even thanked him for his comments and asked for the above opinion. He then listed said as a "snub", and it devolved from there apparently. Though, I am unsure as to how asking a peer, in good faith, for their opinion is a "snub". In any event, your page, quite reasonably, simply suggested contacting you regarding such issues. Honestly, I am somewhat perplexed as to the exact nature of the issue. I look forward to your response and I thank you ahead of time. Respectfully, Dr. Raleigh S. Ph.D, Th.D., OFS — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thetruchairman (talk • contribs) 12:44, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

First, regarding your user page: The page was deleted under

1929 Hebron massacre

When you click edit on the article, you get a message about ArbCom and how only extended confirmed users can edit it, in addition to the 1RR requirement. I'm confused about how exactly IP range 99.203.54.248 is able to edit the article since an IP cannot be extended confirmed. Anyways, the IP has made three edits to the article (all of which are unsourced). Clovermoss (talk) 19:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi
page protection level that's supposed to prevent users that aren't extended confirmed from being able to edit the page that it's applied to. The article just didn't have that protection; I've gone ahead and removed the edits by users who were not extended confirmed and applied that protection level indefinitely, which should resolve the issue. Thanks for letting me know! :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:44, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

Thanks for the explanation :) Clovermoss (talk) 20:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clovermoss - No problem ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Quick question: I was taking a look through the history and there were edits before mine to the article by IPs as well. I'm wondering if that's still an issue since my edit was after those edits. Clovermoss (talk) 20:52, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clovermoss - Since you're extended confirmed, your edits are fine... the edits made by the IP users are not, and can be removed by any user simply due to them not being extended confirmed. If the content itself is minor, I wouldn't worry about it too much. However, if the edits made by the IP users significantly change anything, I'd take a closer look and use appropriate judgment. If it needs to be removed, then it needs to go... :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:55, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My edit was minor (I was fixing a typo), the other edits don't look like it. Most of them are content additions/deletions and there's several editors involved (most of them IPs). Clovermoss (talk) 21:06, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clovermoss - Got'cha. Like I said, your edits are fine. However, by what you describe, the IP user edits need careful review. I would consider removing the edits by the IP users if they aren't referenced or don't appear to add value or improve the article. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:08, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how I would do that, since there's so many of these edits. Some of them have been reverted, a lot of them haven't. I'm going through the page history and this looks like it has been an issue for literal months. Clovermoss (talk) 21:17, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clovermoss - What I would do is go back through the history and find the revision made before all of the IP users began editing the article, then compare that edit with the current revision. If there's significant content that's questionable and should be removed, then I'd restore that revision, then manually restore any legit changes made by users who were extended confirmed. It seems like the majority of recent edits on this article have been made by anonymous users; this would be the fastest and most efficient way to remove any changes made against the ArbCom remedy. If users disagree and restore any content back, it'll be fine since the article is now extended confirmed protected and hence the restoration made by someone who can take responsibility for it. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:23, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just recent edits, though. There's dozens of changes here. There's edits like rescued refs in-between distruptive IP edits. There's IP edits getting reverted and then ones that were made later by the same IP not and staying live even though they're very similar changes and still distruptive. Heck, going off the talk page template, there was a serious issue with edit-warring in 2007. I'm not sure how far back it does go, but by browsing the changes it's been an issue for at least 2 history pages of 50 revisions each. It doesn't look simple to me and I'm scared I'm going to make some mistake looking through it. Clovermoss (talk) 21:35, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not upset or anything with you, I'm just really hesistant to do anything in this situation. I was hesistant to edit the article when all I was doing was fixing a typo. I don't want to mess up with something that seems more complicated than what I know about what to do. Clovermoss (talk) 21:42, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clovermoss - Oh, I know you're not upset with me or anything. I completely understand. I would be hesitant in this situation as well; that's perfectly okay and I'm happy to help. I didn't go terribly far back (just as far as this revision by LissanX), but I went ahead and restored the article to that revision, since nearly all of the edits made since then were by anonymous users. If we need to go further back, no worries. Just let me know if you find any more significant changes that you think should be removed, and provide the diffs of those changes so I can take a look. I'm more than happy to help if you find that you still need it. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:49, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that sounds good. I'm also busy in real life, but I'll keep an eye on my watchlist. I really should go back to real-life responsibilities, I'm probably not going to be around much until the weekend. Clovermoss (talk) 22:54, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Xbott

I may have noticed something which may not be right with the user name this user has on Wikipedia. This user has the sequence of letters shown as "bot" in the title but not at the end where I am 100% certain it is a fake bot account (ones which are editing pages manually like us). This was more obvious when I've spotted that on my watchlist but not so certain with this one. Iggy (Swan) 20:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iggy the Swan! Thanks for the message regarding your concerns with User:Xbott. I agree that the username is close enough that it could confuse other users into believing that it's a bot, and I've applied a soft block to the account so that he/she can have it changed. I've also rolled back the edits made by the account, as nearly all of them were unreferenced changes to years or poorly referenced content additions. Please let me know if I can help with anything else, and I'll be happy to do so. Thanks again! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:49, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is not about my current posts today about the Finney Ross page.
The abuse was from 2008 that I took all the screen shots from.
I will try my best to understand how to use the "DIFF". As explained previously, I suffer from Aphasia which makes comprehension very difficult. It will take me some time to go though all the screen shots to get the names and then to try and use the "Diff" you instructed me to.

Aphasia makes comprehension very difficult so it will take me quite a while to try and comprehend instructions I've been given and will do my best. It's been 11 years and I've been afraid to revisit this subject.
Men of history like this are all but gone. Rodeo gear is mainly factory produced today at high rates of speed with inferior quality.
I and many other members of the RCA, current PRCA and PBR are concerned about these types of men, their talents and importance to these organizations will be forgotten.
Please be patient with me and I will do my best to follow your instructions. It will be a long process for me.

RfA

Has an admin ever been desysopped and then passed an RfA? One could argue an RfA shouldn't be forever and one could also argue an ArbCom decision shouldn't be forever, but as far as I know, both are true. Enigmamsg 01:10, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Enigmaman - Yup, it's happened before. If I recall, there have been a few users who have gone through the "gauntlet" and became admins later on. Nothing is impossible, and I don't want this ArbCom case to stress you out, leave you feeling constantly worried or disheartened, or leave you feeling like your "wiki career" here has hit a permanent ceiling that will never go away. There have been users who have been site banned from Wikipedia for over a year who have come back, regained the trust of the community, and are doing great to this day. Right now, you probably feel that this is the pit of despair for you... but fear not, many others have felt that way too (including myself). Time goes on, people move on, and the dust will settle. The best thing you can do if you want to make a positive impact on your ArbCom case with the Committee is to add a comment to the case, state that you're open, transparent, and willing to answer any specific questions, and just work with them and be honest. Users who choose to take the time to participate in their cases, and try to work with ArbCom to find a solution that works for the both of you will have a much better outcome than users who didn't participate. Please know that my user talk page is always open to you, and I'm available and willing to help you, guide you, and answer any questions you have. I want to see a solution that works for everyone, too. The best outcome is that we all move on, and we all continue to work to help build the project and make it better for our readers as well as our editors. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"PowerBook x400 series" merge

I'd recommend merging the articles "PowerBook 1400", "PowerBook 2400c", and "PowerBook 3400c" into one article called "PowerBook x400 series".

This is due to the 1400, 2400c, and 3400c all being very similar to each other.

Please read and merge the three articles together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Boy Jordan (talk • contribs) 11:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Boy Jordan - Did you manage to see the response I made to your message yesterday? The proper way to have these pages merged or moved is to visit Wikipedia:Requested moves, follow the instructions, and start a discussion where other editors can provide input and responses first. You need to go there to begin this process; simply having me perform these merges could result in causing disruption or confusion for readers ad well as Wikipedia projects. The discussion you start will help to avoid this. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. Otherwise, I'll need to direct you to visit the page I linked to you.

Qwerp121 )(**&&^^ and an edit they made

Hi Oshwah, coming back to you as you have helped me before :)

I noticed that Qwerp121 )(**&&^^ seems to have created this [10] which seems to be gibberish. I can't seem to nominate it for speedy deletion though, and I cannot even notify the user, as trying to create the talk page it comes up as "The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time." Username may be a violation in that case, but not 100% sure, so hoping you can advise. Many thanks. Agent00x (talk) 18:12, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

scratch that, Writ Keeper was quick off the mark! Agent00x (talk) 18:17, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also left a editing test warning (AGF that that's what it was); people should now be able to edit the talk page. The username is weird but doesn't strike me as particularly disruptive; I don't think it's actually an attempt at code injection or anything like that, although it kind of looks like one. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with
WP:NOTHERE or similar block. But as things stand at the time of this writing, we should observe, but hold off until he makes the next move. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:30, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply

looks like the user got blocked. Agent00x (talk) 18:48, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, can't say I'm surprised; it just wasn't blockable at the time I saw it. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Socking, edit warring, and ip hopping

Speed limits in the United States needs some ip and confirmed protection. Cards84664 (talk) 18:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oshwah, while you're around :). I think this user needs talk access removed and revdel [11]. Thanks Agent00x (talk) 18:59, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Your Questions and Comments, Etc.

Good day and hello again, sir. I am replying to the questions and comments you had for me in your reply to my original message to you regarding the deletion of my Userpage. My Wikipedia username is Thetruchairman. In regards to the user with whom I had the interaction, the username is JACKINTHEBOX. The user had contacted me to inform me that he had reverted or changed my edits to several topics and why. In the message you requested of me (which will be posted below), I thanked him for his input, agreed with him, and elaborated. On only one topic, that of the Order of DeMolay (specifically, how the Chapters are structured, how they are sponsored, as no Chapter can exist without a Masonic Body sponsoring it, and the difference between an "Active DeMolay" and a "Senior DeMolay"), did I have a question, so I asked for the user's opinion in good faith. The only reply received was perceived by me to be somewhat sarcastic, but I disregarded as a possible cultural misunderstanding in use, nuance, and interpretation of the English language being that we're from separate countries. The next I knew, part of our conversation, and the circumstances surrounding it, had been forwarded to you, with the aforementioned references to me as a "troll" made by the user, and my Userpage had been deleted. This is the point I originally contacted you. The statement I made to JACKINTHEBOX and his reply are as follows and in their entirety:

As far as some of your other edits, as you pointed out, they needed source citation (which I just hadn't done yet, honestly) and I agree with your input. As far as my contributions to the DeMolay wiki, I'm not quite sure what to use... what would you suggest? I have first hand knowledge of the specific topic. I myself am a Senior DeMolay, Past Master Councillor for DeMolay, a DeMolay Masonic sponsor, a Founder of several new DeMolay Chapters within my jurisdiction, a Master Mason of 18 years, and a Brother of the advanced Masonic Orders. As either serving or having served as an officer in both organizations, I know unequivocally what the rules and processes are, but how does one cite sources for an organization that even describes itself as a "societal of secrets", that is not inclined to put out literature for general consumption, and in which so much of its composition is tradition passed down from one Master Mason to another or one Brother the another? Thetruchairman (talk) 11:47, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

I deeply and humbly apologise for my execrable actions, my good Sir! JACKINTHEBOX • TALK 12:41, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

I simply wish to resume my use of Wikipedia, using your suggested input, and prevent further problems with the user JACKINTHEBOX or the reoccurrence of the problem with another user in the future. Thank you so very much for all of your time and help! I look forward to your response, opinion on the matter, and further guidance concerning the above. Respectfully, Dr. Raleigh, Ph.D, Th.D., OFS Thetruchairman (talk) 06:02, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi
give JackintheBox the benefit of the doubt
and assume that he was being legitimate and apologizing to you (remembering that we do this in situations where we're not sure).
As far as your edits go: You need to cite reliable sources with any information or content that you add to articles that isn't common knowledge. Your first-hand knowledge and your claims of being "a Senior DeMolay, Past Master Councillor for DeMolay, a DeMolay Masonic sponsor, a Founder of several new DeMolay Chapters within my jurisdiction, a Master Mason of 18 years, and a Brother of the advanced Masonic Orders" are irrelevant and cannot be proven or verified at all. We absolutely cannot use the claims that editors give here to validate or assert that their changes are accurate and true. What if I made an edit to an article without any sort of reference to support it, and claimed in my response that they're true because I'm God and the master of the Universe when you asked me about it? Would you believe me? Of course you wouldn't. I'm not giving this example to imply or say that we think you're lying and that you're trying to be deceptive or anything; I'm saying this because my example and what you were doing were essentially the same thing... making claims that we cannot verify or prove at all. The only things that we accept as proof that the content you're adding is valid and true are
references and citations to reliable sources
. You're welcome to continue and edit Wikipedia; you're not in any kind of trouble... JackintheBox was just originally trying to give you a notice on your user talk page about your edit, advise you about Wikipedia's policies regarding sources, and ask you to review them and take note of this with your edits in the future. So long as you do this, you'll be absolutely fine and you should run into any more issues.
Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. In a nutshell, you don't need to worry about the messages and you can move on. Just remember to cite reliable sources with your edits and you'll be fine. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:43, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle

Hi,

I've only just upgraded to 3.4.7 and think I've already encountered an annoying bug. I made 2 reverts at Joseph Warren, and both times Huggle refused to send a warning saying their talk page was edited too recently. The last edit to their talk page had been about 18 hours prior! Has this happened to you (or anyone else)? Adam9007 (talk) 22:41, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And by the way, Huggle also refused to send a warning here and here because it thought they were over 1 day old . Adam9007 (talk) 23:20, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007, do you have logs? --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 00:12, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Thegooduser: I've closed Huggle :(. Does Huggle keep logs? Adam9007 (talk) 00:20, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007, Not if you did not record them, but for next time you can give us the logs Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 00:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Adam9007! I haven't yet installed the latest release (I'm going to be doing that shortly), but according to the commit information on Github regarding this particular release, it looks like version 3.4.7 3.4.8 resolved an issue with updating the time that a user had last received a warning - which involves exactly what you're observing. What you're seeing with the new version may not be an issue, but actually a fix. Have you tried disabling the "[d]on't ask for any confirmation - if an edit was too old, or user received a message recently, just skip the warning" option located under the 'warnings' tab? I would leave the other two confirmation options above it enabled (unless those start to become annoying as well), but I would see if disabling this option resolves the issue you're seeing. I currently have these options enabled so that I don't accidentally warn a user for the same thing on the same page under less than a minute, or for an old edit or something (though I wouldn't know why a very old edit would suddenly show up on Huggle's queue.... ? When does this actually happen? Something tells me that it does and has happened before and was an issue that was resolved with this option becoming available, but I can't think of it right now...), but I'll install the new version, observe, and see what happens... Thanks for the message and for letting me know about what you're seeing. Keep me posted, and let me know what disabling that option does for you. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:53, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah and Thegooduser: 3.4.7 didn't last long; there's now 3.4.8! I'll see if that works any better. Adam9007 (talk) 15:28, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007 - Ah, excellent! I was actually incorrect in my response above... There were two releases over the last two days: 3.4.7 fixed the labels of the buttons in the window where you request page protection within Huggle. 3.4.8 resolves the issue I described in my last response above. I mixed the two up when I looked at the release changes, and thought that 3.4.7 was the version that fixed the last talk page time data (the version you installed). Nope - it was 3.4.8. Let me know if this version resolves your issue. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Funny; I was just going to ask if 3.4.8 reverted to the old behaviour. This warning was sent despite the previous one having been sent just seconds prior . Adam9007 (talk) 15:52, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Noooooooooooooo! 'Fri May 3 17:45:51 2019 Not sending warning to 158.222.94.130 for their edit to Presidency of John F. Kennedy on enwiki because it's older than 1 day' . Haven't yet encountered the other issue though. Adam9007 (talk) 16:48, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007 - Again, disabling that option I talked about above should fix that. Have you tried unticking that option? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, I've just closed Huggle . It seems to be a bit quiet at the moment anyway, so I'll try that later. Adam9007 (talk) 16:53, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007 - No worries. Let me know whenever you change that option and if it fixes your issue. Cheers ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:56, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Concetta K. Antico

Please restore this page you arbitrailly deleted Concetta K. Antico I just created it. It is factual,verifiable,violates nothing and has scientific and historical significance.

Hi
forum, resume, social networking profile, or web host
, or for purposes unrelated to Wikipedia's goals. This was why your user page was deleted.
Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's
new user tutorial
before you make any edits or take on any major tasks around here. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be very helpful to you. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and saved them hours of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on user pages, and I'll be happy to answer them. I hope you have a great day and I wish you happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:13, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Need expert to write my page

Oshwah how do I find an expert who will write and restore my original wiki page that was well documented with media and university research sources Concetta Antico I am of sincere historical, scientific and artistic significance. Can you do this? Please take a moment to see my significance by googling me. Where do I go to hire an expert to assist with this? Are you able to find my original page archived somewhere:(( it was more than valid Concetta K. Antico (talk) 13:24, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a favour

Hi Oshwah,

Could I ask you to reach out to TheUnbeholden? He or she is a relatively inexperienced editor who has made many rapid-fire edits over the past few weeks—things like undiscussed page moves, creating and populating new categories, and adding lots of see also links and stub templates somewhat haphazardly. He or she has also been adding text that's unreliably sourced or seems like personal opinion: like here, here, or here. I don't want to haul him off to ANI or anything, but I think his editing is becoming a bit disruptive. Cheers, gnu57 22:32, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Genericusername57! Have you tried reaching out to this user directly and expressing your concerns in a custom message? I'm happy to talk to the user if you'd like, but anyone is allowed to reach out and talk to other users about issues, problems, or concerns that they're finding with their edits and behavior. This doesn't require an admin or someone special to do. ;-) Let me know. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:35, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Above and beyond

You're not fixing that manually, are you?! There's like 1000 admins. You should use (or find someone who can use) AWB. Still, you're a better man than I. I considered fixing others' pages for about 0.03 seconds, and then said "meh". --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:04, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Floquenbeam - I just started using AWB, but it would be nice if it would just save them all without me having to click on each one... lol ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:09, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are adding missing "small" tags - do you want me to do a bot run and fix them all? It'll avoid the "you have no messages" alert. Task has already been approved - see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 8 --DannyS712 (talk) 23:05, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
