Taking a break

Over 9 months of editing, it is time that I am stepping down from full time editing. I am deciding to give another wiki a try upon my return. Ahri Boy (talk) 03:44, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoy your break! Vacosea (talk) 22:36, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. IRL and off-wiki situation has forced me to stop. Everyday editing is very exhaustive as expected. Ahri Boy (talk) 10:18, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsubstantiated accusations of sockpuppetry

Hi, Ahri Boy. Please do not accuse other editors of sockpuppetry without evidence, as you did here. Unsubstantiated accusations are, as an explicit matter of policy, a form of personal attack. There is no exception to that rule just because the editor you are accusing is an IP editor. If you'd looked more closely here, you would have seen that that IP has been editing constructively in projectspace for over a year, and is based in Virginia, whereas Pavanreddy211 is most likely in India.

False accusations of sockpuppetry are a serious thing, and can result in people getting mistakenly blocked or being discouraged from editing constructively. Please be more careful in the future. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 04:52, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry. I didn't even know about that IP. Ahri Boy (talk) 04:58, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, but that's why you shouldn't have been accusing them of something. You're expected to do your own research before making that kind of claim. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 05:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noticeboards

Hello, Ahri Boy,

I see you saying on your User talk page that you are taking a break from editing but that doesn't seem to have started yet. You are still a relatively new editor and before expressing strong opinions on administrator's noticeboards, please look into a situation and not just offer your first impression of a complicated situation with a disruptive editor. There might be more to the story than what can be presented in a brief noticeboard comment. You don't want to be supporting an editor who is actually being disruptive. I understand the impulse to defend other editors but make sure that you know the total situation. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:51, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that the editor may be high risk. That's why I withdrew my support. I should thoroughly check every editor's activity before deciding to either oppose or support the decision. Ahri Boy (talk) 08:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahri Boy, comments like S.v.G. needs to be reevaluated. He needs to clarify that the purpose of return is genuine, constructive, and one account only. He hasn't made any contributions to Commons because he was blocked. and For the meantime, he should stay at Simple and NLWP for another six months to make sure no suspicions will be made before appealing under SO simply don't make any sense. The words are all in English but they just don't make sense in that order. What would it mean for "suspicions [to] be made", and how would that be resolved by someone editing elsewhere for six months? That's a rhetorical question that you don't need to answer; my point is that what you've written makes no sense.

I see on your userpage that you self-assess as en-4, which represents native-like proficiency. A really important part of working together effectively is understanding our own levels of competence. Your proficiency reads to me as en-2. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Clearly you speak a lot of languages and it's to be expected that you'll have different levels of mastery in each one. And there's lots of useful things that someone who is en-2 can do. Writing comments in (un)block)/ban requests, though, is a pretty high-context thing. There's a lot of nuanced backstory it is important to understand, and then a need to compose one's own comment in a way that is mindful of all that. Instead, your comments have often left me scratching my head trying to figure out what you meant, and have not given the impression that you fully understand the matters you're commenting on.

I can go into greater detail if needed about comments that haven't made sense, but instead, could I just encourage you to focus on more content-oriented parts of Wikipedia? That's the more important kind of work anyways. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 08:10, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I would consider participating in article talk pages instead upon a full return. I knew about BRD and I should refer to respective talk pages if my edits are reverted. Ahri Boy (talk) 08:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to translate it into Persian.

Hello. I edit the Persian Wikipedia. The article 2022 Wikimedia Foundation actions on the Arabic and Persian Wikipedias that you created caught my attention. I decided to translate it into Persian. However, when I looked in the references, I couldn't find anything about the Persian Wikipedia. The Middle East is mentioned, but nothing about Iran or Persian. Can you explain how you found out that this applies to the Persian Wikipedia to the extent that you have mentioned it in the title itself? Arbabi second (talk) 19:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@اربابی دوم It was mentioned in the Signpost article. Ahri Boy (talk) 23:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the answer. Please send the link to the mentioned article. Arbabi second (talk) 00:53, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here and another. Ahri Boy (talk) 00:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
