Link?

Jeske, the link to your essay in your answer to question 2 on the RfA is showing as a redlink. Is there a typo or something? I ask because I'd very much like to read the essay, not only regarding the RfA. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 12:21, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Endless games of protect and unprotect are productive then? I am trying to suggest a way around that. LadyofShalott 02:05, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking from experience, it's the only practical alternative. He's attempting to keep legitimate IPs or other users from contacting us by forcing us to semiprot and/or spam death threats he's too cowardly to make himself. (FYI, the subpage option doesn't work. I've tried it.) —Jeremy v^_^v ^{Components:V S M} 02:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The parenthetical part of your response above was the information I needed. It would have been more helpful (and frankly much less aggravating) if you had said that from the start - even in the edit summary where you removed my first post. LadyofShalott 02:11, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:BreeBaby2282

I declined the speedy deletion nomination on User talk:BreeBaby2282. personal attacks, by definition, need to be directed at someone. That was just a random vandalizing message, not a personal attack, and, as such, doesn't justify speedy deletion. Blanking the content and warning the user is sufficient. If the comment was on someone's else's talk page, it might possibly qualify for RevDel, although that would be a discretionary issue. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:40, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hullo Jéské. The regular writer of the Signpost's Arbitration report stepped down last week and I was wondering, seeing as you are listed as a backup writer, whether you might be able to fill in? It would be much appreciated, as we are rather understaffed at the moment. Regards, Skomorokh 23:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer Hutt

In regards to your denial of undeletion of the page for Jennifer Hutt.

You say "you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion". On the page "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jennifer Hutt", I do not see the word 'Closed' anywhere. How do I know which administrator did the closing?

There is this "The result was delete. Courcelles 23:47, 16 August 2011 (UTC)". But on that admin's page, this is posted... "Courcelles is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon."

What do you recommend as a next step if I wish to pursue this further?

Should I proceed to Deletion Review?

I apologize if this is counter to established Wiki protocol. This is all new to me.

gopackjo Gopackjo (talk) 15:31, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, I did not formally deny the undeletion request. However, an admin will do so if they have not already. You have two options from here: Recreate the article in your userspace, paying attention to our sourcing and notability policies, or take it up to WP:Deletion review. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 18:22, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions. If I was to recreate the article in my userspace, would I be able to access the original article? The archived copy that I found was an older, poor sister to the one that was deleted. gopackjo Gopackjo (talk) 19:40, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ask an admin to email you the contents. Do bear in mind that since the article was deleted at AfD, you won't be able to use the exact same contents, except as a base - see WP:CSD#G4. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 19:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Autoblock

I see that at User talk:82.117.223.123 you wrote "The block was issued in February, and an autoblock only lasts 24h. Thus, there is no autoblock to overturn." You may be interested to learn that, if a blocked editor tries to edit, the autoblock is reactivated for another 24 hours. In a case like this one, where an IP that has never edited before, but tries to edit at a time very close to when the blocked user tries to edit and reactivates the autoblock, it is a pretty safe bet that it is the same person trying to evade the block.

Hantavirus Risk in Yosemite

Hi, I noticed you have contributed to the discussion of User:173.63.176.93's block because of reasons that I cannot see. However, I assume it has something to do with his involvement with Yosemite National Park's Talk Page. Recently, I have also tried to add a section acknowledging its the Hantavirus Risk in Yosemite National Park, but my edit was similarly dismissed by User:Jojhutton. If the mention of deaths is the issue, then I believe we can include the information without directly mentioning the deaths.

I have written a new draft of this edit in one of my subpages: User:Airelor/Yosemite_National_Park.

Please take a look and suggest any other edits or make any changes as you see fit before I try to add it to the main Yosemite_National_Park page. I am very new here and while I don't think this is related to the topic of FlaggedRevisions or Troubles or anything that you have notified as areas you will not work in, I deeply apologize if this is the case. If you know of any administrators or Wikipedia Users you can refer this draft (or me) specifically to for advice about this matter, that would be very appreciated too. Thank you.

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He emailed me instead; I've revdel'd the affected edits (and emailed Nihonjoe to fill him in). Given the specific circumstances I don't think oversight is necessary, although Hitomaro's free to contact them if he wishes (and may already have done so). No blame attached either of you guys; it's just an unfortunate situation all round (of which I'm sure you're both already aware). Ryulong, please do carry on with the debate regarding MOS-JA (the macron debate really needs to be resolved sometime this century...) but do take care not to make that connection again; there are potential real-life consequences for the editor involved.

~~No, you asked me to remove protection from an article~~, and even absent the userboxes there's a section further up where it's made explicit that I don't have the tools. Given that I have not had the tools for three years I can't review, much less undo, my own admin actions. I'm sorry, but I have little tolerance for those who blindly ask the impossible of someone.
That said, I will not object if someone were to remove the protection provided that the same issues that got the article salted (repeated re-creation as either a copyright violation or a blatant advertisement) do not reoccur. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 02:16, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeske, so, I saw that you said it's possible for an admin to block not just the specific IP but the recurring numbers if I understood that correctly. How is this accomplished? It seems like our friend 5 is ignoring his various (I believe he's up to three) blocks. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 23:55, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What happens is the admin blocks the IP range that includes all IPs used thus far. There are some limits to this ability: Ranges larger than a /16 (~65.5K addresses) cannot be blocked, and innocent IPs caught in the crossfire cannot be unblocked independent of the rangeblock itself. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 02:46, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

VTR full IP range block

I appreciate your contribution on the talk page for the full VTR IP range block but I am not satisfied with the archaic nature of the admins decision making which is more like 16th century township than modern liberal democracy.

I beleive the block on the full VTR IP range is pure stupidity. Anyone who wants to act with ill intent can anonymise their IP. The admins are castigating 1.2 million internet users for the erros of 1 individual. That is idiocy. I want to be understanding and respectful but the admins are not being understanding or respectful of my rights as a wikipedia community member. I deserve access regardless of the fact that 1 user from 1.2 million users was blamed for something that I still have not been provided evidence for.

An Ip range block should be applied for something incredibly serious especially when the ISP hosts 1.2 million users. The admins are not understanding the unfairness of banning a whole ISP for the actions of 1 individual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.196.29.148 (talk) 02:17, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not an exercise in any governmental system, let alone democracy or anarchy. And, again, if the abuse is severe enough or sustained enough and whac-a-mole is the only other option, admins will opt for the rangeblock as opposed to just waiting to see what IP he hops to next. That said, larger rangeblocks generally must have the blessing of a Checkuser to make sure collateral damage is minimal. (Checkusers will usually tell an admin seeking to do a rangeblock if there's enough activity on the range other than the vandal that collateral damage would be unacceptable.) I will note that Mmbabies' actions (i.e. IP-hopping and celebrity death threats) have caused much of Houston to be unable to edit Wikipedia anonymously, to give you an idea of the sort of misdeeds that are necessary to make collateral damage irrelevant. I am given to understand that in this case, there was minimal collateral damage caused from blocking this range.

Evidence-wise, we don't overtly call out links for the reason that this (a) makes future vandalism by that vandal harder to detect and (b) only encourages the vandal. Long-term abusers are generally the exception; they're usually motivated by ideology or shock value more than entertainment.

Now, onto your argument that anyone wanting to cause ill intent can use anonymisers. We block all anonymising services, TOR exit nodes, and open/compromised proxy servers upon discovery, and many of our most virulent vandals (such as JarlaxleArtemis) use them almost exclusively because their primary IPs/ranges have been blocked or because they want to hide where they're editing from. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 05:13, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

calling for discussion

I voiced concerns over what seemed to me to be the punitive nature of comments you used from User:Jéské Couriano/REFUND/Ineligible speedy/G11. Do you still believe policy requires rewriting from scratch all articles that lapsed from WP:CSD#G11? I counted on {{ping}} informing you of that discussion.

User:Amatulic userified the article for me to User:Geo Swan/Daphne Lee Martin. It did require more work than I expected, but not because it was promotional, rather because I didn't think the original references measured up.

I tried contacting the subject at her twitter handle, asking for clarification on some dates, and album names. I haven't received any reply. Sorry, but I think the most likely cause is she still hasn't recovered from the punitive tone of your comment. Geo Swan (talk) 16:53, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually not all that uncommon for subjects who request their articles for undeletion to not reply on-Wiki. Theyt assume it will be done via email or some other off-wiki means instead (indeed, there was one case the other day where a requestor, editing as an IP, left his email address on the request, and I've in the past removed a phone number from REFUND).

As for the contact via Twitter, it might also be that she is busy with other things. RL takes precedence over online presence, for the most part. Don't assume disillusionment when neglect is equally likely an option. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 18:12, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A modest request

Dear Wikipedia editor,

Thank you for your comment on my talk page. I am requesting your assistance. One month ago a user with the username Bangabandhu began editing the wikpiedia entry of my wife, melissa chiu, adding entirely negative commentary. I sought to try to balance that commentary which i believed was false and misleading and i was blocked from doing so by this individual and another one with the username Justlettersandnumber. They claimed a conflict of interest and that is true- i am related to the subject. We complained to wikpiedia about their behavior and requested the page be kept under watch and in the long term hope it can be balanced out.

I understand wikipedia has rules about individuals editing pages relating to family or friends and that is fine, i respect that. I would have left the matter at that but one week ago the same individuals, using the same usernames, have started to edit my own personal wikipedia page!! is this purely a coincidence that the same individuals are editing the pages negatively of a husband and wife?

i don't mind people editing the page, but in this case they have added factorial errors. Here is the log record from my personal wikipedia page: benjamin genocchio http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Benjamin_Genocchio. You can cross reference it against the page for Melissa Chu,

They have added a statement that my previous employer claims they fired me, with a link, but if you read the link you see in a following paragraph beyond the claim that the article states clearly that i provided an email resignation letter to the reporter that contradicts the claim-- i provided physical, written evidence that contradicted an assertion. This is printed in the story that is being used as a citation to make a claim that is in direct contrast to the printed facts. Look it up.

I am not going to go in and correct this as i will be accused of a conflict of interest again but surely there has to be a level of impartially and fact-checking here? Can an individual or individuals really just take an assertion that is contradicted by facts in an article and put it in a wikipedia entry? And especially individuals that have a track record of antagonistic statements? There must be some check and balance here or wikipedia becomes a site for personal vendettas.

I am not familiar with wikipedia rules but clearly in this instance should not something be done to correct the false and misleading statement?

I would request please that all recent changes by these two unscrupulous wikipedia entries be reviewed and or removed from my personal account and they be blocked from editing my or melissa chiu's account going forward just as i am blocked from editing them. surely wikipedia is not to be used for personal vendettas against an individual or family. i invite you to review the records of both accounts.

Benjamin Genocchio — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgenocchio (talk • contribs) 02:06, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First things first: You should have taken it to Talk:Benjamin Genocchio and Talk:Melissa Chiu first. Talk pages exist for a reason, and I wish they were a lot more visible. (Note that due to the way watchlists work, watching a page automatically watchlists the corresponding talk page, and vice-versa, so they would have seen any reply on the talk page.) I am tempted to crosspost this to the talk page and link you to it, if for no other reason than to force a discussion.

Second: There's nothing really actionable in any of those edits you list above as far as I can see. What edits weren't minor copyediting were either addition of material with sources to back them up or removal of material that isn't sourced. Do you have a specific diff on hand?

Third: The sentence in question says, and I quote, "(Gennochio) said he had resigned, but Louise Blouin said that he had been fired." The New York Post essentially corroborates this passage as writ, as it says both that you claimed you had tendered your resignation and later down the page includes the passage, "But in the next breath (Blouin) added, “Benjamin was fired. You want it. You got it.”" This is essentially a he-said-she-said situation here; WP:Neutral point of view bars us from taking one side over the other, and we cannot budge on that, fullstop. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 08:30, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jéské!

Thanks for letting me know. I updated my page and made a few more edits. If you do delete my article, let me know right away, as I suggest you as well as the other users think about your decision. I'm trying to do all I can to keep the article from being deleted. If SlingshotVenus is deleted for any reason, that's perfectly fine with me. I just reviewed the guidelines on deletion policy and notability.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

The Kittura thing

Hi Jeremy, regarding the Kittura indef, this article says a lot to me. The bulk of the non-regulars who have edited that article over the years are blocked, with very few edits coming from other interested editors. If you follow some of those blocked editors' edits you'll notice the intersections, like at Faisal Saif and Main Hoon Part-Time Killer. (NuclearWarfare's "mark blocked" script helps here—just toss it into your common.js file) Also, see the intersection report between Vaalee and Kittura. And why didn't Kittura disclose that he was a publicist? Tsk tsk tsk. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:42, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

time wasting

Why are you wasting your time and others with useless postings such as this? It's not at all helpful to the blocked user, who has no way of making an unblock request targeted specifically toward checkusers; admins who can act upon unblock requests generally know full well that they shouldn't unblock in the case of checkuser blocks; this is not a "checkuser block" anyway, because by definition a checkuser block says "this is a checkuser block"; there are not rules restricting regular admins from unblocking otherwise; and even if I'm the only checkuser patrolling CAT:RFU, which I don't think is the case, your comments of this sort neither accelerate nor delay the process of reviewing these requests. What is the user supposed to do in response? --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 18:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by David.moreno72 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You're welcome. Wikipedia is, to be fair, a rather daunting place to those not familiar with how it operates, and especially so where deletion is involved. Just take your time, and try to be more concise with your arguments - the more to-the-point and short an argument is, the more likely it is someone will read it (this is true for the Internet in general; walls of text are fairly easy to lose your place in). —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 08:28, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In this case it was Google's algorithmically decided occupation it was never pulling data from Wiki in the first place.

Here you go. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 23:29, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:IRC

I am perfectly willing to have a discussion with you here to hash some things out regarding my proposal on Wikipedia talk:IRC. I can do this over the next week. Please ping me if you respond back on this page. Thanks. Seahawk01 (talk) 02:47, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to discuss. Your suggestions are made from a position of ignorance and are geared not towards others, but towards satisfaction on your behalf to try and compel a specific channel and the experienced users helping in that channel, myself included, to bend a knee. I've no interest in debating IRC policy with someone who doesn't bother to care to educate himself about it and who's got a specific outcome in mind. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 03:03, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just noticed this. I find your reaction too severe and I disagree. I think I have something to add to the discussion. And, really, I don't want to add so much. Just a few things. I think IRC is really being reactionary here...I would suggest it feels like a mob mentality. You guys could tone things down a bit too. Also, ping me or I'll never reply because I don't track other users pages. Seahawk01 (talk) 02:42, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:REFUND G11 refusal template

Is the text you added here (for example) an existing template or just something you paste in? It's considerably more useful than what {{UND|g11}} spits out. —Cryptic 02:34, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually a user subpage set up to work as a template message, User:Jéské Couriano/REFUND/Ineligible speedy/G11. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 02:51, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

not trying to cause problems by changing venue

Hi Jéské Couriano, I'm not trying to cause problems by changing venue to Wikipedia talk:IRC/wikipedia-en-help. I just feel the discussion is specifically related to wikipedia-en-help. Another user had combined the pages before and I didn't notice what article the discussion was happening under at first. I think WP:IRC is too broad and WP:IRC/wikipedia-en-help is the appropriate place.

Please ping me if you reply back here. Thanks Seahawk01 (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, why not just place all discussions in Wikipedia talk:IRC/wikipedia-en-help/Archive 2...if they are stale, they should be archived. Then, we can return after New Years with a clean slate. I'm not going to do it, but it is a suggestion and you can act on it, if you want. Seahawk01 (talk) 02:52, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I thought that the username might be from the Bible, and looked it up, and it wasn't what I expected, because it is an "easy living" Bible verse. There are a lot of verses in the Gospels that could more readily be misinterpreted to support being a nuisance. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:00, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Attempted partial outing

Thank you for putting a halt to the nonsense on Nik Richie. Do you have the ability to remove the attempted partial outing of me (initialism) by User: DS Cable in his most recent edit? Damon Killian (talk) 02:20, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't, but I can get in touch with someone who can. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 02:24, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ziggy

Much obliged for bringing this to ANI; that was one fast indef. I was working myself around to that for the last two AfD nominations, thanks for doing the work. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The guy asked for two of his pieces to be REFUNDed, so I decided to do a bit of investigating, which led to the AN/I report. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 20:41, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

JP WP

My advice is let the thread die. If the user continues to misbehave it only adds further fuel to the fire that EN.WP should not be the ones dealing with it and we can Revert on sight. Hasteur (talk) 22:12, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, ja.wp has handled it by semi-protecting both his target and their non-Japanese noticeboard ~~for a month~~ - that's the entire reason he's forum-shopping here and at -en-help. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 22:15, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking user pages

On English Wikipedia users are allowed to blank their userpages, with very limited exceptions. Active block notices are not one of the exceptions. Please don't undo such blanking as you did on Zlowry21. See WP:BLANKING Meters (talk) 22:16, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have no intention of doing so, and I will concede that was a mistake on my part. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 22:22, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A common mistake, particularly since some Wikipedia version don't allow it. Meters (talk) 22:31, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

en.wp is my home wiki. I just made a mistake. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 22:48, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent change

This is a problematic change, because the source is WP:PRIMARY, meaning the figures are said by the producer himself, which our community do not accept. That source you added clearly depicts the Facebook post of the film's director with a promotional poster claiming that hyperbolic figure, also shares another link to the producer's post. Indian film producers are known for inflating figures, so we do not accept their figures. Both the talk pages Talk:List of highest-grossing Indian films and Talk:Madhura Raja and are currently semi-protected because of the mass sock/meatpuppetry going on to add this promotional claim. Also see WP:ICTFFAQ. Thank you. Continental Rift (talk) 19:25, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, thanks for letting me know, and apologies. It was literally the only source provided to me that I could read that wasn't Facebook itself - the other two sources provided that could potentially be useful were in Malayalam, and my experience with South and East Asian languages in automated online translators is that they generally return "blind idiot" translations and/or gibberish. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 19:29, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And self-reverted. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 19:33, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the reference in regards to afd Michael Z. Williamson. As you can see im new to all this and tried to be clear i was expressing an opinion and concern as an out sider. Based on the behaviours going on and how that reflected on Wikipedia rather then wether or not the article in question was valid.

So again thank you for the ref i will read into it.

More so i had no problem with the afd in and of itself or the process of editing in general. But rather that certain people where anonymously slagging out the subject on purely moral grounds whilst cutting down his lifes work with no real recourse for rebuttals. Or in one case purging whole swaths of the article with little or no explanation at all, culminating in Several edits with no justification at all other then derisive comments about the subject and his life works. My point was how distressing this was to a complete outsider where the WP editing process was concerned.

Sorry that went on a bit more then intended but i cant see any thing to retract.

I hope this is in the right place for this. WardedOne (talk) 12:52, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is. I don't mind clarifying or defending my arguments on my user talk page, and the same is true for every other regular. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 20:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Woohooo

Hey, Jéské Couriano. Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Birthday from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee!

ANI

Did you perhaps mean to close this sub-section to include the containing section here? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 04:50, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No; I specifically meant to close the subsection. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 04:53, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your support for my ban

Hi, you have supported my ban however would we be able to discuss your reasonings and both sides on here so we can see each other’s sides in a civil way thanks.

Considering the obvious selective illiteracy at Jayjg's talk page I am not going to waste my breath here on the grounds that you're just looking for an argument. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 00:20, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
