Romance in Kentucky

Well, thank you, I suppose. Begrudge me a little romance in Kentucky, do you? Bishonen | tålk 19:12, 13 October 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Revoke TPA for Zjholder sock

[edit]

Can you please revoke TPA for Brooklyn Park MN? It’s a Zjholder sock. Can you also tag this sock and run a sleeper check to see if they have any sleeper accounts? Do you know why the Zjholder LTA case says that he’s based in Wisconsin? It looks like he’s based in MSP 172.58.183.33 (talk) 03:36, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hey, thanks for dealing with and blocking that IP. When I noticed their edits to an article on my watchlist, some seemed kinda OK but others I wasn't sure about. It appears that you hit mass-rollback on their latest 50 edits, even though it might've been better to do that for all of their contribs (plus, mass-rollbacks are more fun when accompanied by Listen to Wikipedia); in any case, I've gone and reverted the rest as far as practical, largely stealing your edit summary. Hope that's OK. They're aren't many edits left by that IP that aren't tagged as reverted by the software now. Graham87 (talk) 16:06, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

COI - second pair of eyes

[edit]

Hiya, been involved in a discussion at User talk:Stephinnotts, which I’ve stepped back from as it’s just descending into animosity. Originally concerned with a lack of proper sourcing, now the user has admitted to working for the organisation whose page they were editing… any chance I could get a second pair of eyes to make sure I haven’t messed that one up? Danners430 tweaks made 10:01, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apology: I reverted too quickly.

[edit]

Sorry, I saw someone (you) removed a comment replying to me, and assumed them to have misunderstood policy. I later saw that this user was blocked (by you), but only after I had already placed that edit back on the page and responded to it. My apologies. Slomo666 (talk) 14:51, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Topic ban

[edit]

Hi, In recent days I've been wanting to make improvements to the encyclopedia but it is in areas where I feel like I'm almost straddling the line between violating my topic ban on the Palestinian conflict, as in it is in areas adjacent to it and I do not want to risk violating my topic ban.

I cannot seem to find the area in which I could request a potential ban lifting in relation to this topic, if you could guide me in the right direction please.

Kind regards. Ecpiandy (talk) 22:33, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:Contentious topics#Appeals and amendments. At this time I do not have the availability to consider an appeal, so please appeal at either WP:AN or WP:AE. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:43, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hope you are okay

Just discovered that (I suppose this makes sense) you can't use the thanks button for an edit if the edit has been suppressed. So doing so here. You rock, SFR. Floquenbeam (talk) 22:07, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto. Thanks SFR. Hopefully your courage and transparency will lead to some concrete changes in WMF policy and/or its application. Abecedare (talk) 22:10, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • What they already said about your courage and transparency, thank you! (I'm late, because when I noticed WCNA first - a bit alarmed - I was too tired to find out, and when I looked it up a day later, I was speechless.) Please pass some flowers to your wife!

  • Late to the party, but I appreciate your courage, transparency, and attempt to hold WMF accountable for their failings here. At the very least they should be following standard convention security protocols (none of which are secret and have been common practice for years), but even that appears to be beyond them.

172.56.170.162 is back

[edit]

Hey SFR, they're back as 65.102.189.218. The geolocation is different(I don't know if that means anything, given that the 172 ... IP is TMobile), but the editing pattern is the same. There's also this edit, which reverted edits made by 172.56.170.20. Please consider blocking the 65 ... IP and I wonder if a rangeblock (maybe of the /24?) of the 172 IP might be wise. I've reverted everything by the 65... IP. Just read your recent Arbcom noticeboard post ... oh wow, I don't know what to say except ... you're a hero. If I should take the above message (which pales in importance by comparison) somewhere else, I'd be OK with that. Graham87 (talk) 04:30, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked the 65, but I'll hold off on the /24 for now and see if they hop back on it. If they do I'll probably anonblock for a couple months. There was some editing back in August that didn't look to be the same editor, so I don't want to hit it too long. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:03, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In appreciation

My recall conditions

[edit]

At the beginning of 2026 I'm going to remove my custom recall conditions as we have community recall now. Posting this here as fair notice. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:49, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Saw this on my watchlist, so thought this would be a good time for me to reiterate that, although I was (and apologized for being) your strongest opposition at RFA, I wouldn't support any petition for recall. You've done good work, and I was wrong. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:01, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I'm sorry that you don't feel Arbcom is doing everything it can to protect you, but believe me, we're trying as hard as a bunch of people with no training and little support can. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:07, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not me now (although in was back in 2007 and 2008, which perhaps colored my perception from then on) ... I have police protection. If things ever become less busy, I'll expound in email about the dangers to others from other cases. I know times are tough for the arbs! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:20, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection of Gaza genocide

[edit]

Why did you add full protection to Gaza genocide due to "Edit warring / content dispute"?

I don't really see an edit war going on here. The last edit was by me 2.5h before the protection took place where I reverted the removal of some information that was also added today. Other than that, there weren't any content disputes today. Laura240406 (talk) 23:42, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

it's also interesting that only admins can edit the page right now while any EC user can move it Laura240406 (talk) 23:43, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There have been six reverts in two days related to the same material. My other option was to topic ban everyone taking part in the edit war, which I didn't have time for right now. I didn't adjust the move protection because no one is move warring. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:53, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @ScottishFinnishRadish can you please restore this version which was in place before the last bit of warring which ended up getting this FP put in place please? As was mentioned by many people, WP:ONUS says that, "The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." The talk page discussion should then carry on and move towards a more clear consensus after the FP is lifted. Thanks Scottish. Iljhgtn (talk) 02:20, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
