2600:1700::/30

In my opinion, this block is way too wide and affects an entire ISP (AT&T). I don't think this is a WP:T-MOBILE situation, but if you can provide me with any previous discussion about this range, that would be helpful. Have smaller blocks been tried before? I also don't like how you are not responding to questions from new/inexperienced users about the block. wizzito | say hello! 18:32, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Seconded, a /30 of IPv6 address space is not the same as a /30 of IPv4 space. An IPv6 address is 128 bits, so a /30 would be 2^98 hosts. Probably a bit over-broad?
ShadyNorthAmericanIPs (talk) 22:59, 9 October 2024 (UTC) (one of those hosts)
Hi Wizzito, ShadyNorthAmericanIPs! Please accept my apologies for the delay responding to your inquiry about this range block applied. I recently went through... a major life event, and it caused me to have to take a temporary hiatus from editing here so that I could figure things out and get my personal life under control. I see that there have been an extensive number of blocks that've been applied to this range in the past. The range block has expired now, but if you look at the range's user talk page, an appeal was filed but denied by another administrator, as they agreed that it was necessary given the circumstances and level of disruption it was causing. I hate applying such wide range blocks like this, but disruptive editing will (occasionally, definitely not commonly) start appearing from IP addresses that are hopping to others and over its very large range like this. If the severity level and/or volume of vandalism is high enough, applying such a wide block sometimes becomes necessary. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and discuss this further with you. Again, I apologize for the delay responding to your message here. It was absolutely not because I was avoiding and trying to ignore you. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:42, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
100% fine - my apologies for assuming. I do agree that sometimes this kind of measure is necessary. wizzito | say hello! 23:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi MarySmithson! Welcome to Wikipedia! I understand that you're interested in creating a new article. Have you by chance gone through Wikipedia's getting started page? A tutorial that I also highly recommend you complete is Wikipedia's new user tutorial. It'll provide you with a bunch of very important walkthroughs and guides that will show you how to edit, how to communicate with other users, locate important policies and guidelines, as well as other important guides. After you've done those things, I recommend you navigate to Wikipedia's my first article page. It will help you to verify that the topic or article subject is notable, as well as help you perform other important checks before you decide whether or not to proceed. It also will help answer most common questions and discuss the most common issues and pitfalls that new editors will fall into when they attempt to create their first (as well as subsequent - for a little while) article. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and assist you further. Good luck! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi I have my article ready how do I publish it Thank you MarySmithson (talk) 04:38, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi MarySmithson! It's CiaPan (talk) (talk page stalker) here. Oshwah seems absent from Wikipedia for some time now, so he may not respond swiftly.
Have you seen WP:YFA which he mentioned above?
If so, and you have also successfuly walked through the first two sections, and you're sure you and the subject both meet requirements described there, please see the section number three: Help:Your first article § Writing your draft. It describes the best ways to start writing Wikipedia articles.
As for ″how do I publish it″, the best options are described in the #Where to start writing subsection, with the most preferred being the Wikipedia:Article wizard. --CiaPan (talk) 16:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
MarySmithson - Hi there, and welcome back! CiaPan‘s response was exactly what I would’ve stated to help you. Do you have any more questions that we can answer for you? Do you still need assistance? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:11, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from AthenaBC (14:51, 16 October 2024)

Hello Ixtal

Have a question on interting references. Having used the button under the text box to create the code to intert the URL, and entered it, and saved, can see in the references list below that the citation is only coming up with the URL, but not with the text that's needed before the URL. How do you edit the references list to insert the correct citation needed, so you don't just get a URL link? --AthenaBC (talk) 14:51, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi AthenaBC! Welcome to Wikipedia! Is there a specific example that you can point me to so that I can show you exactly what to do? :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:28, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Elijahsese (05:43, 17 October 2024)

Hi, Mentor! How i create a wikipedia? --Elijahsese (talk) 05:43, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, new user. When you are talking about a wikipedia, do you mean to create an article? New users who are not 4 days old and have less than 10 edits (non-autoconfirmed users) cannot create new articles in the mainspace, unfortunately. However, there is an article wizard that can allow you to create drafts. Drafts are new articles that can be created and developed for a limited time, and can receive feedback before being moved to the article namespace. I hope my response helps, and happy editing. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 13:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
@Codename Noreste: You probably meant 'non-autoconfimed users' in the parens... -CiaPan (talk) 15:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Now modified. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 15:51, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Codename Noreste - Thank you for assisting this user while I was offline. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Advice on Editing

Hi Oshwah,

Nice to meet you. My primary motivation for registering with Wikipedia is to write a page about Leonard Currie who was Colonel of the 133rd New York Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War. The 133rd have a page and Currie is referenced.

I have done some background reading for new users and understand that I should start by editing articles before writing a new page. As I have a significant amount of information with references about the 133rd do you think that it would be appropriate for me to start my editing by adding more detail to the page on the 133rd New York Infantry Regiment?

Kind regards - R3NBM

R3NBM (talk) 12:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Although I'm not Oshwah, you could use the article wizard to create a draft version of the page. Once you're done with it, you could then submit it for review and then others will give feedback on it.
If you want to experiment though, you can create a sandbox to do editing tests (such as seeing how different infoboxes look and such).
Wikipedia:A primer for newcomers is also a good resource to use for become familiar with Wikipedia.
Best of luck! R0paire-wiki (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you
R3NBM (talk) 16:20, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi R3NBM! Welcome to Wikipedia! R0paire-wiki pretty much gave the same response that I would've given; you'll want to use the Article Wizard when creating new articles for awhile (at least until you become familiar and proficient with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines that are relevant to new article creations - such as the notability requirements for article subjects). Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

October 2024

Heyo, how's it going? I don't know if you'll remember me and I know this is a minor one, but a few years ago we were engaged in a dispute over disclosing personal information on my user page due to my age, and as part of that you reset my page's public view edit history. While I understand and respect your actions, I just wanted to ask if I could have the edit history restored please as I've now come of age? GOLDIEM J (talk) 19:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi GOLDIEM J! Welcome back! I do remember you; it's sure been awhile! I hope you're doing well and that life is treating you kindly. :-) I really do not recommend this (since we, as standard protocol, tell all users to keep any and all personal identifiable information off of Wikipedia), but sure - if this is what you really want, I can unhide those revisions if you wish. Since this action will make personal identifiable information public, can you do me a favor and respond to this message confirming that you wish for me to unhide those revisions on your user page? Since this modification will expose personal identifiable information, I want to verify for 100% certain that this is what you'd like me to do. If you have any reservations or hesitation with unhiding any of the information added to your user page, now is the time to let me know. I don't want your information exposed if you have any level of hesitation or uncertainty. In nearly all cases, once personal identifiable information has been added or made public, it's very difficult (if not impossible) to take back later. Even with the content gone and the revisions hidden, the community has a very long memory. Please take some time to think about this, and let me know what your decision is. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Yes please, I am comfortable with this information being publicly findable.
Just for your peace of mind, I don't intend to readd this information as extensively any time soon, but I thought I'd ask because I wanted to be able to look back on my page's edit history (for nostalgia's sake🤭)
And also, thank you for your help with infoboxes all those years ago, I've definitely got the hang of it now😅 GOLDIEM J (talk) 21:06, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
GOLDIEM J - I'm glad to hear that you've become familiar and proficient with infoboxes. Those are important to learn and understand if your goal is to become experienced with the creation (or expansion) of quality articles. The next step is to make sure that you understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines, since any future article subjects that you create a new article about will be required to meet them. :-)
Regarding your request:  Done. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:28, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Joao Zero Fernandes (15:01, 25 October 2024)

Olá... Gostaria de publicar uma página sobre o fotógrafo: joao zero --Joao Zero Fernandes (talk) 15:01, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Joao Zero Fernandes, welcome to Wikipedia! I always recommend that new users reference and use the new article wizard to assist you with the creation of new articles. It will help you to verify that certain important items are verified and checked before you can proceed (mainly in order to avoid creating an article about a subject that already exists, among other things). I also need to note that it appears that the article subject you wish to create an article about matches the name that you set to be the username of your account. If you are the actual photographer that you're attempting to create an article about, you should know that creating autiobiographies (or articles about yourself) is a highly discouraged behavior that will very likely be unsuccessful and result in the article's deletion. If this is the case, I highly recommend that you do not waste your time. In nearly all cases where users try to create an article about themselves, the article ends up being rejected (if created in the draft space), or deleted (if published directly as an article). I'd also recommend that you review Wikipedia's guidelines concerning conflicts of interest. Instead of doing this, I recommend that you contribute and spend your time and efforts toward expanding and improving existing articles. This way, you can gain important experience and hands-on learning and you can work toward becoming proficient at adding quality contributions and content that's referenced by reliable sources. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you further. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Boa tarde,
E então recomendar a alguêm que escreva sobre o fotógrafo joãozero? www.joaozero.com Joao Zero Fernandes (talk) 17:03, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Joao Zero Fernandes - I would need to research and see if this person (likely you, am I correct?) meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines before I could consider making any kind of recommendation that you seem to be asking for... Having a website isn't enough... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Good afternoon,
joãozero has been a photographer for over 30 years and has a career described on the website and, for example, is in galleries such as:
https://www.artsy.net/artist/joaozero
http://nunosacramento.com.pt/artists/joao-zero
It's on television shows like:

Big hug and thank you very much, Joao Zero Fernandes (talk) 15:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Joao Zero Fernandes - A big hug to you back! These look like primary sources (I haven’t looked at the links in-depth); do you have any secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the article subject? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Revision deletion

Hello Oshwah. I understand you're able to handle RevDel requests? Would it be possible to RevDel this change? It includes defamatory content of a living person.

If this isn't the normal process on how to do this, please drop me a line and let me know for future reference. --My Pants Metal (talk) 17:01, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

My Pants Metal -  Done. Next time, you'll want to email me these particular requests, as reporting and requesting RevDel or suppression on revisions here instead of via email makes these requests public and for anyone to see and read. In many instances, this will cause a Streisand effect to occur, as readers will see your request, and then quickly run to view the revision and content before it becomes hidden from them to be able to see. ;-) No worries, though. I happened to be on my user talk page as your message came in, so I was able to take care of it quickly. Just email me next time... :-D Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
You got it! Will do that next time. Thanks for the speedy response, too! My Pants Metal (talk) 17:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
My Pants Metal - Sure, always happy to help! :-) Until next time... ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:11, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from NilocSnave (19:28, 25 October 2024)

Dear Oshwar, I've written my article but I can't find guidance on the other items needed for it to be complete and visible. Somewhere on Wikipedia I've seen direction on the overall structure needed for a complete contribution before it would be accessible.

Colin --NilocSnave (talk) 19:28, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi NilocSnave! Welcome to Wikipedia! I recommend using Wikipedia's article creation wizard to proceed when you believe that the article you wrote is ready. It will make sure that you perform the necessary checks before you proceed to create it. This Wikipedia page will also be helpful to you, as it provides you with information on getting started and will provide you with additional Wikipedia pages that are important to review and understand. Please let me know if you have any more questions (I see that you followed up with another question below; I'll review it soon, so stand by...) :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Cindy Liruma! Welcome to Wikipedia! I highly recommend that you go through and review Wikipedia's help page on getting started, as well as Wikipedia's new user tutorial guide. Both of these pages will provide you with significantly useful information, tutorials, and walkthroughs. Please let me know if you run into any more questions while reviewing these pages, and I'll be happy to answer them and help you. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:14, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Special:WantedTemplates

Hi! I have been cleaning up WP:Database reports/Transclusions of non-existent templates and Special:WantedTemplates and I noticed that your javascript page is transcluding Template:Dategroup.date and a few other non-existent templates. Due to a "feature" in the backend software, even though this is a javascript page, the software parses braces and brackets the same to generate links. It would be very helpful if you could add 

 // <nowiki>

to the top of your script page and 

 // </nowiki>

to the bottom of your script page. Because these <nowiki>...</nowiki> are inside of javascript comments, it won't impact the functionality of your script, but it will keep the backend sofware from thinking you are transcluding templates. Thanks in advance for your help! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 14:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Let me know if you need help, I can have someone make the edits for you. Here is an example of what the edit looks like: [1]. Thanks again. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from SouthDweller (23:13, 26 October 2024)

Thanks Oshwah for offering to be my mentor. I'm a newbie and would like help -- I added a comment in the "Cryptids" talk page and inadvertently stirred up a lot of discussion. Now I get about 5 emails a day following the discussion and frankly, life is too short. How do I stop getting the emails? Can I unsubscribe from this "talk" page? --SouthDweller (talk) 23:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

New Mentor

Hi, I got a message saying you are my new mentor. It's a privilege to have such an experienced user. My main expertise on the The Troubles in Ireland as well as Great Britain] & Europe. Nice to meet you. Shanegallager (talk) 13:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Shanegallager - It’s good to meet you too! Let me know if you need help with anything and I’ll be happy to lend a hand. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much I will do. I'm currently creating a Timeline of the The Troubles on mainland Europe (Germany, Netherlands & Belgium), as there are already ones for Timeline of the Troubles in Great Britain Britain and Timeline of the Troubles in the Republic of Ireland the Irish Republic. I think if I finish this all the Timelines relating to The Troubles should be complete.
Thank you again. Shanegallager (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Shanegallager - You bet! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Hey man, I just created a new topic related to The Troubles in Northern Ireland, can you check it out for me & let me know if I need to add anything to it or take anything put, stuff like that? Here's the page link Sanaghanroe landmine attack
I was going to this as my first page I created, as this would complete all the major attacks carried out by the IRA's East Tyrone Brigade, but then I noticed there was no Timeline of the Troubles in Europe like there is for Britain & the Republic of Ireland, and I thought that would be more important to do as 18 people in Europe's mainland lost their lives in the conflict so I created that one first instead.
Thanks very much. Shanegallager (talk) 16:55, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Shanegallager - I apologize greatly for taking so long to respond to you! Life, stress, the holidays - yeah, fun stuff right? ;-) I’m going to take a look at the article; if there are concerns, I’ll let you know. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive overtagging

Hi there! You recently wrote on a topic at ANI that you could help with a user who is engaging in disruptive overtagging from multiple IP addresses. It is still going on, from new IPs all the time, although the user is at least now using edit summaries so it's slightly easier to find. Most recently:

  • User:2001:448A:1020:5990:3824:C3C7:253E:8C13 has tagged me and other users in some edit summaries of the overtagging (like so and so).
  • User:36.69.22.237 is also adding the same tags, with the same summaries, see here and here for example. A curious thing that I can't get my head around is that this user (as with previous IP they have used) keeps targetting articles I have recently edited, see here and here. There are dozens of examples of this from the last few months. As I am specifically engaged in clearing the backlog of articles with too many maintenance tags, this is particularly infuriating.

Now and again the tags are appropriate for the article, but given that they are adding the same 4 tags each time ({cleanup rewrite}, {copyedit}, {more sources needed}, {unreliable sources}), it's rather a question of a stopped clock telling the right time twice a day. I have written on each of these IPs' talk pages (and the previous ones), but there has been no reply, apart from at ANI, which did not result in a change of behaviour. How can we proceed? Any help much appreciated! Jdcooper (talk) 01:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jdcooper! I apologize for not being able to review and respond to your message sooner. I've been busy as of late, and I'm just now catching up with all of the messages, emails, pings, requests, etc that I received here. It looks like these IP users have not edited since the end of October, so I'm going to hold off on applying any blocks or taking any action for now. If they resume their disruption, or if you see additional users doing the same, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I'll be happy to put the kibosh to it. ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
