User talk:Daniel Case
Hi, welcome to the 25th volume of my talk page.
Time to drop the protection of Sweden?
It's been a year since Sweden was EC protected. The UK has experienced the same thing which has since dropped to autoconfirmed protection. Since Sweden has less 1/6th of the population than the UK, is it time to drop the protection to semi? WP:TRYUNPROT JuniperChill (talk) 15:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Since it's EC, I think you should make this a formal request at WP:RPPD and see if there's a consensus of admins. Daniel Case (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Update
Anwar Ali page needs much longer protection/ip bans, mbsg page needs vandalism bans... Cenderabird (talk) 12:21, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Your assistance please
I am seeking to nominate File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3 and others at FFD, and have created a nomination just now at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 July 24#File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3.
I am perplexed to find on the file page for the initial show on the nomination a large and highly relevant notice signed by you instead of the nomination I expected. I have no idea how to proceed to place the notice on all the other files as I assume I must do, and woudl appreciate your help. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't edited that file page. Sure you're messaging the right person? Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am kind of sure. Would you mind having a look at "my" file page and see if I am going nuts? I may have done something wrong! I don't usually hang out at FFD 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please do not worry. I will try the HelpDesk 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Do you mind upping your protection to EC? One editor is already over AC and the other is only a couple edits away. S0091 (talk) 21:01, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Done When I looked at the recent disruption none of the non-blocked editors were at AC. Daniel Case (talk) 21:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Hopefully that will force discussion or dispute resolution, if needed. S0091 (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Short article GA
Hey, since you have worked with GAs, I would like to make a question. I recently recreated Hasan Zyko Kamberi after its deletion for copyright issues. There isn't much info available on the subject, as he is merely known as the author of a few short poems. After a few small content additions and copyediting, the length of the article will be around 5k-6k bytes. Can such an article become a GA, or is the very short length an issue in such cases? Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- If that's really all we can say about him, maybe it can be. (Consider that New York State Route 311 is an FA despite being only 18K). Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think I will also add a small background for his literary genre and a few verses from his poems (though most of them remain unpublished in the archives), so maybe it somehow reaches 8k. haha Thank you for your response. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Talk:Sini Shetty
Thank you for your article protection. The rambling is continuing over at Talk:Sini Shetty. I have asked the IP user to follow the appeal process as stated at Wikipedia:Contentious topics, and not on the talk page, but this hasn't worked. Sciencefish (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have basically asked them for the receipts. Daniel Case (talk) 02:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Disruptive editing
Hey, this user has not made any constructive changes despite warnings. Their work is all but edit warring and additions that violate MOS:FILMAUDIENCE and/or WP:V. ภץאคгöร 16:47, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I explained in more detail on the article talk page (They may not be aware of what you wrote in your edit summaries). Let's see what happens. Daniel Case (talk) 03:06, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks but they are still not aware, or at least they act like they are not aware. ภץאคгöร 17:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- I posted again to answer their question about why their edit was removed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks but they are still not aware, or at least they act like they are not aware. ภץאคгöร 17:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Skibidi Toilet ECProtection
Hi, I think it's time to try lowering protection. Vandalism/unhelpful edit was at a maintainable degree, and the plot and episode count needs frequent updates from editors who watched the series. I suggest reducing down to pending changes or semi-protection. The hype has largely died down so I expect less disruption. Ca talk to me! 13:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have reduced it to semi. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Requesting CTOPS (India/Pakistan-related) protection for Prasada, which has experienced frequent WP:OR-based disruptive editing. Also user Muddragon has started engaging in an edit war over their WP:OR edits. Thank you. Ram1751 (talk) 20:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
red accounts/IPs
Hi Daniel. I've read the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations brief. I'm not sure if that is even the right page for my suspicion. All I have a is a mild suspicion. Three users all agreement on a subject within a few days; one an IP, one a brand new redlink. Do IPs get checked/scanned regularly for multiple users sort of thing? I'm not even too sure how to phrase it.Halbared (talk) 22:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- What page are you referring to? Daniel Case (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Talk:Reform_UK#Political_position_of_Reform_UK.Halbared (talk) 08:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm. One of them does look sort of interesting given that it made two edits to that page on the day it was created, and only there ... not something most new users do. The other redlink has less than a hundred edits but it's been around for four years.
- No, IPs are not checkusered routinely like that (blocking them as open proxies is a different matter, though) ... we have to have some suspicion of misuse. Daniel Case (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

List of video games with LGBT characters
Appreciate you locking the page yet again, but I do wonder if the duration can't be extended this time? Like, this has been going on for a solid year now, so I'm not convinced it's going to stop any time soon (if ever), and I hate having to keep bothering you to do it again every time. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Next time I'll be going longer ... Daniel Case (talk) 02:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Request for Autopatrolled right
Hello Daniel,
I humbly request the Wikipedia:Autopatrolled right to be able to reduce the workload of other editors as I have created numerous articles which you can comfirm independently aside from the list on my User page. Most of my articles are based on current events and always needed urgent patrol to be indexed and be public to readers. I will create new articles in the future which makes having this right paramount. My latest article created is End Bad Governance protests.
I am optimistic and look forward to your favorable reply. Thanks. Wår (talk) 09:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- That's supposed to be handled at WP:PERM. Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
revdel help
Hi, could you please take a look at this, I believe runs afoul of RD4? Raladic (talk) 23:46, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Took care of it; you should probably ask for oversight as well. Daniel Case (talk) 23:58, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Will do, thanks. Raladic (talk) 23:58, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, Thanks again for your edit to the SFA introduction. I posted a thanks and a clarification of my original edit request here:Talk:Saks_Fifth_Avenue#Introduction_section.

Anon is back
Hello Daniel Case, The anon you warned earlier has returned with the same disruptive behaviour. I’ve issued another warning, but would you prefer to handle this directly, or should I report them again? Since their IP keeps changing, would it be possible to consider semi-protecting the Sant Singh Maskeen page to prevent further issues? Thank you, GSS 💬 13:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- They haven't stopped even after issuing another warning, so I've formally submitted a page protection request which seems to be the best option. GSS 💬 13:42, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- I have blocked the /64 from the article for a week Daniel Case (talk) 15:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
help with a NPA
Hey there, another user alerted me to this on my talk page - [1], could you please help RD and sending that offensive user on their way? Thanks. Raladic (talk) 04:38, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like another admin took care of the RevDel. I blocked the account indef (interesting that it was created three years ago but only yesterday does it make its first edit … I smell a sock here, but as it’s been indeffed there’s no need to go further for now).

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
IP disruption at Knafeh
Hey, you previously protected Knafeh so that only autoconfirmed can edit it, then another admin changed it to extended confirmed access, but I think he did something wrong, because the protection ended a day after.
An IP is now disruting the article again. im contacting you because the other admin hasnt edited for a month. Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 02:11, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, what happened is that Amortias probably wasn't aware that when you upgrade an existing semi-protection to EC, it doesn't layer ... it won't go back to semi after the ECP expires. A lot of admins who work on this would like the developers to change that so the protections layer, like they do with pending changes.
- Anyway, do you want me to restore just the semi for now since it was the IP that was being disruptive? Daniel Case (talk) 02:29, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- ECP would be better, but if you only want SP it would be better than nothing. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 03:40, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I have restored indef ECP. Daniel Case (talk) 04:00, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- ECP would be better, but if you only want SP it would be better than nothing. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 03:40, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Hey immediately after you blocked and reverted the edits of @Samirlalas their sovkpuppet IP @148.252.145.93 restored the edits an 1 later I have reverted the edits but I suggest you block their IP address as well and add an indefinite protection for that article so only registered users with a username can edit that article. Thank You. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 11:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I blocked that IP for two weeks. As for protection, I don't see enough disruption in the history to justify an indefinite semi, or at least one longer than that as the recent activity is only a few days old. Of course if they continue to sock, I can reconsider. Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Could I borrow your eyes again for a moment?
I believe [2] this amounts to a BLP vio on defamation of a respected scientist, so might need RD? Raladic (talk) 23:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Mmm ... it's disparaging, yes, and properly deleted, but are those claims generally accepted as true? Daniel Case (talk) 00:15, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- That's why I wanted your eyes to know if it needs RD or if deletion is enough.
- The claims the user made are entirely wrong, as can be seen by the sourcing of the article itself, the BLP in question is an expert in the field, not just a parent of a transgender child, who has authored numerous peer reviewed journal articles in the field and is employed as a scientist by a University in the field. Raladic (talk) 00:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- OK, then, we'll do it. Daniel Case (talk) 00:21, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Latest of JamesOredan/VeneziaFriulano
Latest socks of User:JamesOredan/User:Venezia Friulano
The last you blocked was DrakeXper. Most recently, the following socks have been blocked by other admins at my request or independently: Claudio di Roma, Dreom, Ocean Stones, Combrils and Fauvertt. Can these newborns be checked by you: Ananscumber, Manfil and Pikeras? There are others but these to me are the most obvious. I have also opened a case at the incidents noticeboard cause I think Manfil and maybe the other one are literally inventing sources to push the usual agenda. Barjimoa (talk) 09:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, and based on an edit war in the French wiki it's obvious 85.235.68.81 and 46.222.166.38 are other IPs of James/Venezia, if that can be of any help. Barjimoa (talk) 09:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
