Thanks

Wanted to thank you for your welcome message and offer of help. How do I make a request for comment? I tried to on the Free Palestine Movement’ page but the request got taken down. Jgraham1956 (talk) 17:18, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Could you help me understand why 13 edits in June and July 2019 alone ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]), by seven socks (four accounts and three IPs), including as recently as today (!!!) is "not enough recent disruptive activity," why it is not at the threshold of semi-protection ("high levels of vandalism or edit warring from unregistered and new user" (WP:PPLIST)), and why requiring editor resouces to review pending changes on an article whose only contributors have been the banned user or socks is expected to be a productive "solution"? @Ymblanter: protected the page 15 June 2019 and found semi-protection appropriate. Эlcobbola _talk 16:48, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: Thanks for your note. That's probably why I PC'd. I'll look again.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:51, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: The PC should've been enough, but the likelihood of collateral damage looks very low, so SP for 3 months and PC indefinitely. If it starts up again in 3 months, we can extend.   Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:56, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for checking again. Socks have been non-stop, with no decline in frequency, since the June 2017 ban--I've no doubt it'll be back to RPP. Эlcobbola _talk 17:06, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

You declined the unblock request by 86.150.188.184. Please note that they have threatened to "[hack] and [fuck]" those that would edit their talk page after they were blocked. Please consider removing TPA or maybe even lenghtening their block. (Of course, their little brother did it). --MrClog (talk) 08:11, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Very well said

Hello D. This is both true and hilarious. A variation I remember (and lived through) in my college days is that the first shot of tequila you think yuck - shots 2 through 5 you think maybe this isn't so bad - anything after shot six you don't say much cause you are praying to the porcelain god :-P Thanks for the smile and enjoy the rest of your week.

Harassment against user:OliviaZoe0 ‎

vandals at our gate  Dlohcierekim (talk)

​‎Hi Dlohcierekim, please, have a look at the revision history of the talk page of this user. I see a persistent harassment against them, is there a way to stop this? --DoebLoggs (talk) 10:29, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@DoebLoggs: Not seeing it. There was a vandal I blocked. Mostly I see discussions blanked once dealt with.@OliviaZoe0: What say ye?  Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dlohcierekim, isn't this Special:Diff/907495507 and this Special:Diff/907443842 and this Special:Diff/907416072 a persistent harassment? And there are others, all in a short while. OliviaZoe0 just removed those messages, I wouldn't call that "deal with". May be a page protection may help? Thanks in advance. --DoebLoggs (talk) 12:23, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Looks like the sort of nonsense we sometimes get as vandal fighters. A range block would incur collateral damage. It would be up to OliviaZoe0 as to whether or not we SP. And once again, collateral damage would need to be considered.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:33, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

All three accounts either have no previous activity, or have had their last activity long before I joined (friendly reminder I joined on the 15th this month, or 8 days ago). I find it extremely suspicious that three IPs with no recent activity, and no obvious connection to my cleaning up of vandalism, just randomly decides to make edits like that - they're probably connected in some other way. Two of those edits also use a writing style that's extremely similar (socks?). I'm aware protecting has consequences, but I don't know what those are, so I'm not able to make a decision - at least not yet. I haven't done anything beyond rolling back because I had and still have no idea where those kinds of things are best reported. I didn't warn all of them because they appear to be disposeable accounts (no further activity on any of them).

Speaking of coincidences, all there are from the same country (and also the same area, according to the geolocation feature), which could make it related to this edit, which I initially thought was a misguided good faith attempt at asking why the edit was reverted. Seeing later edits from that user, that probably wasn't the case. -- OliviaZoe0 ❤️ (She/her) (talk) 14:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

per Wikipedia:Protection_policy#User_talk_pages

User talk pages are rarely protected, and are semi-protected for short durations only in the most severe cases of vandalism from IP users. Users whose talk pages are semi-protected should have an unprotected user talk subpage linked conspicuously from their main talk page to allow good faith comments from non-autoconfirmed users. A user's request to have his or her own talk page protected is not a sufficient rationale by itself to protect the page, although requests may be considered if a reason is provided.

I think the benefit outweighs the risk.   Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)  Done

@EEng: At least we got through that w/o any COOLDOWNBOCKs. Seriously, your humor is under appreciated, and I think humor, or the lack thereof, often lies n the eyes of the beholder.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:50, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

BTW, post haste was pretty good. When you think about it there's probably a lot of post-based humor potential. EEng 14:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

EEng Dlohcierekim's delightful post brought back memories of another version of that sentiment. I share it in a thread above titled "Very well said" and I thought you might get a grin out of it. Cheers "hic" to you both. MarnetteD|Talk 16:48, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

I think my assessment is more charitable-- seeing his vandalism in this light-- than other possibilities. And also, with age comes insight into such behavior.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, but not keen

I have just seen User:Dlohcierekim/nua, and your use of it at User talk:Petrmani. Thanks for the acknowledgement, but I think a big prominent link to a user space page, all in three-letter acronyms, is unlikely to be helpful to a new user. At the best they will follow the link, taking up time and achieving nothing, and at worst they will will feel intimidated by seeing yet another thing that they don't understand to add to the other aspects of editing Wikipedia that are new and puzzling to them. I'm not too worried about being having attribution, but can I suggest that if you do want to give attribution then a hidden comment would be better? JamesBWatson (talk) 13:00, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

 Done

Actually, on second thoughts I quite like the ability to occasionally check if pages I have created have been used, which doesn't work with hidden comments. I thought of creating a z-template, but I'm not sure about the propriety of using one for a user page. Perhaps it doesn't matter, or perhaps the content of the page could be copied into template space. Anyway, even if neither of those is done I still regard not being able to trace it as better than having a prominent link on new users' talk pages. While I was considering the possibility of a z-template I discovered that you created {{Z184}} but didn't add it to Template:Z number doc#List of assigned z number templates, so I have taken the liberty of doing so. Please don't hit me if you didn't want me to do that. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:05, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

I did? What's a "Z-template"?  Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:10, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought you created it, but now I see that you just protected it, and it was Winged Blades of Godric who created it and didn't add it to the list. I'll answer What's a "Z-template"? when I have time, but now I don't. For the moment don't worry about it. When I get time I'll also try to remember to answer your comment at User talk:Nomalias. (I've double checked, and that one really was you.) JamesBWatson (talk) 15:30, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Looks like I forgot to add to the list:-( Created it, when I was regularly tweaking with the NPP-suite to install more options for the reviewers. ∯WBG^converse 08:14, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

• Z number templates (which I abbreviated to "z-template") are fairly obscure, and probably not many people know about them, and I assumed you did only because I mistakenly thought you had created one. A z number template is a template with a name like {{Z1}}, {{Z2}}, {{Z184}}, etc and no content at all except a link to Template:Z number doc, which explains all about z number templates, but the idea is as follows. Suppose you want to know where some template is used, say Template:Uw-spamublock. Transclusions can be found by Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Uw-spamublock, but that will not list pages where the template is subst-ed. However, the text of Template:Uw-spamublock includes {{Z17}}, so Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Z17 will show all pages where the template has been used, whether by transclusion or by subst. (Probably not very useful for a template used on such a large number of pages as Uw-spamublock, but it can be useful for tracing uses of less commonly used templates.)

HA! A typical day in the life of an admin who reverts vandalism and puts a kibosh to trolls and abusive editors. I get these all the time; it's a sign of a good admin who dedicates themselves to keeping the project clean. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

It always amuses me when vandals threaten you with things found in ridiculous GoAnimate videos (that's where 'punishment day' and 'dead meat' come from; sadly, no 'grounded grounded grounded for (absurd number) centuries') 😂.

Manish Raj Pandey

Hi Dlohcierekim. I saw that you moved Manish Raj Pandey to draft space in early June [14] as the article was only sourced to wikipedia. Another user (who I suspect as being a sock of a blocked user) moved the article to main space and made no changes to it [15]. I moved the article back [16], but unfortunately I do not have the ability to do so without leaving a re-direct. Can you please delete the re-direct here [17]? Many thanks.

Zomato

Sir, can you please check the sources:

• Man cancels order over delivery person’s religion, Zomato wins hearts by taking stand
• Uber Eats tells Zomato we stand by you on Jabalpur Muslim delivery boy row. Internet loves
• Jabalpur police to Zomato customer: Tweet hate, go to jail

Clearly, a customer made a hate tweet by refusing to accept food delivery from a non-Hindu delivery executive and this incident draws wide support when the food delivering company cancelled the order. Now, some people are trying to shame this company for taking stand against such bigotry. Source:Trolls are Giving Zomato App 1-Star Ratings Because It Didn’t Give In To Bigotry.
