"Edit warring"?

[edit]

I do not understand where you see this edit warring. Over the entire course of the nomination there have been a couple of reverts and most of them have been settled on the talk page, aside from one from some random sockpuppet that was quickly reverted regardless. This is not edit warring, this is simply improving and working on the article, and one single disruptive user coming around to change it. You seem to be very oddly strict in how you define this thing and how you just closed it because of what seems like one or two disruptive edits. I hope there is something you can do, or I can do, about this after the review is closed. Aside from "talking it out on the talk page" because the only reason that the article's content was being changed - ie. improved - was the GA nomination. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 05:21, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Luxtaythe2nd: Unfortunately, I cannot perform a GA review when the article is subject to consistent back-and-forth editing. Perhaps "edit warring" was not the proper term, but without a stable article, a GA is not possible. If you believe that a user is a sockpuppet or is engaging in bad-faith editing, then file at sockpuppet investigations. Once the article is stabilized, feel free to resubmit at GA. Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:44, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Luxtaythe2nd: I have initiated a sockpuppet investigation here. Supportive comments are welcome. JeanClaudeN1 (talk) 10:06, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I concur with Luxtaythe2nd‘s assessment that the collaboration on the article over the past weeks has been highly constructive, with the shared objective of elevating its quality for the GA review (for instance, through the inclusion of more citations from reliable sources, copyediting etc.). Minor disagreements concerning details are to be expected in such a process; however, no instances of edit warring or comparable disruptions occurred. At the same time, I understand that the sockpuppetry issue presently constitutes an obstacle to a successful GA review, but I hope that this can be resolved soon. JeanClaudeN1 (talk) 11:34, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, perhaps "edit-warring" was the wrong phrase to use. No criticism was intended toward anyone working toward the GA, but there is clearly a disagreement going on at the article that prevents it from being stabile right now. Once a stabile version of the article exists, feel free to renominate at GA. You may even let me know if you would like for me to pick up the renomination, or you are welcome to wait for a different editor. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:22, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:Bgsu98, I'd like to point out that user JeanClaudeN1 is showing a clear bias in how they are now changing the Gdańsk article, please analyze their edits and you will notice that JeanClaudeN1 is removing details about the Polish history of the city and adding even more subject matter about the German history. Don't believe me, see for yourself, how the article has changed... at the begining of August there was a sction titled "Early Poland" and that got changed to "Prehistory and early history" what got removed "Poland". I've corrected that, however it is clear that JeanClaudeN1 is pushing a German-centric narrative in the article all the while claiming neutrality. --PJK 1993 (talk) 06:55, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did the section name change, and I changed it to "Prehistory and early history" because it used to be two categories encompassing the time before early Polish rule and during early Polish rule. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 11:56, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well you did not improve the article that way. That whole section which used to be called "Early Poland" contained information related to Mieszko I, Saint Adalbert, Bolesław the Brave, etc. and it got lumped with the BRONZE AGE ...really? Poles/Kaszubs on par with Bronze Age cultures, and then you might wonder why I got so irritated with this sort of bias editing. PJK 1993 (talk) 12:24, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was for purposes of ease of browsing and MOS because a section with a single sentence was aesthetically terrible, at least in my mind. It would be silly of me regardless, to try to equate Polish rulers to ancient protohistoric peoples, and in this way especially. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 17:54, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Real cute, JeanClaudeN1 cries crocodile tears about trying to make the article better and more neutral, all the while the introduction section lacked any reference to the fact that the first mention of the city and the creation of the first fortified settlment happened during Duchy of Poland era. Before the Teutonic order it was primative Slavic Poles on par with pre-history and copper age. You're really something JeanClaudeN1 you know. --PJK 1993 (talk) 08:41, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I am only responding to this in order to correct false claims:
  • The title of the subsection was not changed by me, but by User:Luxtaythe2nd, an editor from Poland (I see no issue with the edit itself, but I wish to clarify this point because PJK 1993 is attempting to construct some kind of national conflict here).[1]
  • I have contributed virtually nothing to the history portion of the lead section, apart from reverting previously confirmed sockpuppets [2][3] and inserting the word “major.”[4]
JeanClaudeN1 (talk) 11:25, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, the History section of this article should simply be a condensed version of History of Gdańsk. Either way, the place to have this discussion is at Talk:History of Gdańsk or Talk:Gdańsk, but not here. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:36, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moroccan Figure Skating Championships moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Moroccan Figure Skating Championships, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

figure skating quotas

[edit]

where are you planning to show the 'additional' quotas when they are allocated?18abruce (talk) 17:54, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What additional quotas? There's only five disciplines. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:57, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right now additional quotas would be given, in priority, to Japan (2 skaters: Ice Dance), France (2 skaters: Pairs), and GBR (1 skater: Men's) because they are eligible for the team event but have no qualified athletes in those disciplines. It will likely still change after tomorrow, but there will be a necessity for some of the additional quotas to be given regardless.18abruce (talk) 18:03, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Put them into whatever category they belong to. You’re either Men, Women, Pairs, Dance, or Team. Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:05, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And then note them as 'Additional' or have a hat note that says where the extra comes from then?18abruce (talk) 18:10, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So these are skaters who compete in the team event, but are not eligible for the individual events? Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:12, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Up to five skaters total. Item 'D.4' in the qualifying rules.18abruce (talk) 18:14, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Table headers at 2025–26 ISU Junior Grand Prix

[edit]

Hi Chris, I’d be glad to understand why the tables in the article about the 2025–26 Junior Grand Prix need to have the heading “Junior Grand Prix.” Isn’t it already clear that the tables refer to the competition, which is the subject of the article? Nimrodbr (talk) 10:22, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oof, those were terrible headers. I'm sorry, I guess I didn't pay close enough attention. I've updated them to more appropriate headers. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:03, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the update, and indeed the new headings are better than the previous ones. However, I still don’t quite understand why they are necessary. They appear within the article in the "Medal summary" section , where each table is already introduced with an level 3 heading. They don’t seem to add any new information that isn’t already presented in the article, nor are they transcluded in other articles where such separation might otherwise be needed. This different from previous years’ articles, or from sports competition articles in general. Nimrodbr (talk) 14:33, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per MOS:DTAB, tables must always include a caption in addition to column and row scopes. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:35, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Junior Figure Skating Championships

[edit]

Hello! Would you be so kind to let the article be? Unlike the U.S. one, the Russian junior championships are a completely different event from the senior championships. They are held in another place at another time, even in a different year. (The senior championships are usually held in December of the previous year.) The events are completely unrelated. --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:48, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yet they are lumped into one article per year (2025 Russian Figure Skating Championships). No other national championships have separate articles for senior and junior events, even when the junior events are held separately. Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:51, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not the one who "lumped" them. The Russian Wikipedia doesn't lump them together, and even the English article says in the lead: "The 2025 Russian Figure Skating Championships were held from 18 to 22 December 2024 in Omsk." While the junior championships were held from 5 to 9 February 2025 in Saransk. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not against lumping the yearly articles together. This way, it won't be necessary to prove notability of the junior event each year. But these are completely separate events. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's no big deal to me either way. The junior tables are now formatted properly, wherever they are displayed. Bgsu98 (Talk) 09:17, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! (Combining the Russian senior and junior champioships in one article would be like combining the World Figure Skating Championships and the World Junior Figure Skating Championships.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:55, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Survivor 41-48 Journeys

[edit]

Hello:) I'm curious about the recent reverts regarding the inclusion of "Journeys" on Survivor 40s pages. This type of game mechanic has been consistently featured throughout the show's history—starting as early as season 10's Survivor: Palau and continuing in Survivor: Cook Islands, Survivor: Fiji, Survivor: Micronesia, Survivor: Gabon, Survivor: Tocantins, Survivor: San Juan del Sur, Survivor: Ghost Island, Survivor: Island of the Idols and now Survivor 41 to current. These Journeys aren't just narrative devices or side trips. They are integral gameplay elements where players can gain advantages, earn rewards, or, in some cases, lose their vote. That makes them more than just optional additions. They're strategic components that directly impact how the season unfolds. I believe they should be properly documented and displayed as official game mechanics across applicable seasons. Would love to hear thoughts or reach a consensus on how best to represent this consistently. thanks:) JoyfullySmile (talk) 16:58, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

None of that is conveyed on that table. Save it for the episode summaries where all elements of the episode should be explained and documented. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:30, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you go to each page it IS conveyed on that table. Yes, it should be in the episode summaries too yes. But it HAS been displayed on season summaries in seasons past. JoyfullySmile (talk) 17:41, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What I'm saying is that none of that shit – "gain advantages, earn rewards, or, in some cases, lose their vote" – is indicated by bloating out the table. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:49, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Its not bloating a table and its not "shit". It is contestants voting on a member of the tribe to send away for an extended time. It is a game mechanic Survivor uses just as they use Rewards, Immunity, Redemption, etc. Thus added to season summary. I'm just saying this is not a new addition from me and this was already in the show. Also sorry it was Survivor: Panama that displayed this first not Palau.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I see that you awarded 1 point for Simongraham's Talk:Bridge/GA1 review for the Wikipedia:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/October 2025, but it was started on 29 September. Am I missing something? – DreamRimmer ■ 12:07, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Small update

[edit]

Hello Bgsu98! There has been a update on Cheyenne Mountain High School by the Good Article Nominator. If I made a mistake assume good faith, be bold, and remove it. Further information: I added two navigational templates that connect to more accurate articles in the area. Tokeamour (talk) 19:55, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Located at the absolute, absolute! BOTTOM! of the article.(humour)
Tokeamour (talk) 20:01, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had a lot of fun!

[edit]

This is the first School in the state of Colorado to receive a GA, it was a honor sharing the accomplishment with you through the review and along with your help. Tokeamour (talk) 22:35, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also hope that there is more GA in Colorado to come. @Bgsu98! Tokeamour (talk) 22:36, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am glad it went well. I'm going to be honest; the article was in rough shape when we started, but I believe it meets the criteria for GA now. I would suggest continuing to add third-party sources as they become available (local news reports, etc.), and lessen the number of times the school's website is used as a source. It is not ideal, although sometimes unavoidable. I only recognized the name of the school because I remembered that Jeremy Abbott had gone there. He is a world-class skater and an inspiration to many. His performance at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi is one of the most memorable: he fell hard on the ice during a jump and slid into the wall, was clearly injured, but still got up to finish his routine to a standing ovation in the arena.

Please be careful

[edit]

Hi Bgsu. You may have noticed that I blocked an editor earlier today because you reported them at RfPP for BLP vios. I've spent the whole day mulling over that block and worrying whether it was justified or not. In hindsight, I think only the two edits where they removed "His suspension was lifted..." qualify as BLP vios. For those two edits, and the user's prior history, I have decided to leave that block as-is. However, the rest of their recent edits to that article were just poor formatting of an unhelpful external link or disagreements on wording, yet you reached three, possibly four reverts with them. Please consider this a formal warning not to edit-war and be more careful before calling "BLP vio". Toadspike [Talk] 23:07, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guide to temporary accounts

[edit]

Hello, Bgsu98. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

Editing from a temporary account
  • When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
  • All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
  • A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
  • As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
    • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
    • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

How to enable IP Reveal

Impact for administrators

  • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
  • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
  • Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

  • Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
  • Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
  • See Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

  • It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Tick Enable the user info card
    • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
  • Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
  • Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
  • The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.

Question on running point totals, GAN backlog drive

[edit]

Sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to know how running point totals were calculated? I thought they were just the adding-up of all points.

I was at a loss because, for example, I have 16.5 points, all added up, yet my Running points total is 14 points. By contrast, user Monkeysmashingkeyboards (whose section is just above mine) has 15.5 running points total but their points add up to 7. - OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 23:16, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let me double check for you! 😃 Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:17, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, yours should have been 16.5. I have corrected it. I think I forgot to include the points from the two fails at the bottom of your list. Sorry for the confusion! Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:25, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
