Hello. Please Consider Recreating the page, Camp Carmel. I represent them on some matters and we are a non-profit. If I need to take some information out, that is ok, otherwise the source is CampCarmel.com and I will be able to put that under references, which I suppose is my fault for not doing so. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheep11 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Please use WP:REFUND, or deletion review, but I see think your chances to have that restored are slim either way. Lectonar (talk) 07:46, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for added Protection to La Luna Sangre. But the IPs' now turn into red users. They deleted all my contribution (where I added many sources to the page). I saw one of the users also being blocked from editing another article. Please help to block the users. I've listed their vandalism here.

This is my [last edit]

Vandalism:

• Charchang 08
  • [deleted plot]
  • [deleted casts that mention on the given source]
  • [adding casts without any source]
  • [inserted information again and again]

• User_talk:Anonymous_234
  • [deleted infobox and wrote in Filipino mean edit you edit]
  • [change the cast insult them]

And this one

• User talk:Yellow2pig
  • [he added a commando to deleted all edit except theirs] see the translation [here]

This is serious, they worked on group. Please help us Best Regards

Please report those at WP:AIV, wih a short summary why you think it is vandalism. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 07:23, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

You might want to keep an eye on this article. Although you recently set pending changes on it, the back-and-forth edit warring/disruption is still continuing. Regards. 78.84.108.148 (talk) 22:57, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up; it is on my watchlist. And pending changes prevents the edits of the IP-hopper from going "live"...which might be frustrating for them :). Lectonar (talk) 08:59, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello Lectonar,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

1. Chi-Chi Igbo ✗ Fail, as the sources are dead, and info is different in German article.
2. Christine Neubauer  Pass

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.

If you can help, please {{ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! From you bud over at PNT ;-)   Mathglot (talk) 06:26, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you were involved in the debate over infobox ideology in the article Conservative Party of Canada. The page is currently locked because of an edit war, and no attempt has been made on the talk page to resolve this. I would to thus invite you to contribute to the discussion at Talk:Conservative_Party_of_Canada#Ideology so the page can be unlocked and constructive editing can continue.--Jay942942 (talk) 22:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

@Jay942942: Thank you, but I only fully protected the page after a request at WP:RFP, to further a discussion on the talk-page. Weighing in there would make me involved. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 06:50, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Lectonar. You recently declined to semi-protect Attila (miniseries) on the grounds that the problem "Seems to have died down". For the record, the problem is continuing, apparently coming from a dynamic IP address. Please reconsider whether semi-protection might be appropriate. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 10:44, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

The disruption is not heavy enough to warrant semi-protection. I have pending-changes protected for 1 month, which will prevent the IP-edits from going "live" unless accepted. Lectonar (talk) 11:20, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello Lectonar, I need a help from your side. The article Palaruvi Express is facing persistent and stiff vandalism from an IP. I've seen that you protected the article some days back. But that got expired, I believe. The troubles came back now. So please protect the article.

Thanks and regards, Arunvrparavur (talk) 10:54, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

I have semi-protected for another week. Lectonar (talk) 11:18, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Long time.
The user you recently interacted with, has a sever problem with English fluency. Most of his edit summaries, comments, replies, and userpage content are extremely likely to be copied from somewhere else. I am very surprised about how he manages the language barrier. As he is a good-faith hardworking editor, I have watchlisted his page since my discussion with Neil, just in case if he runs in some sort of trouble. From my experience on wiki, I have realised an editor can work proficiently in anti-vandal work without fluency in English, but it gets difficult in other fields of wiki. Especially when it comes to Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars, or where PCR is required. —usernamekiran(talk) 22:12, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up; I was aware of some problems, but not that they are that grave. I will keep that in mind. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 22:48, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

:-) —usernamekiran(talk) 09:30, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Here is a little incident again. Nothing serious though. Like I said previously, copy-paste; including responses and edit summaries. See you around. :)
—usernamekiran(talk) 11:45, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I've just messaged 'the other guy' about it, so I'm just gon copy-paste the message: "Hey, I'm just letting you know that I've reverted your edits and instead mentioned that Stargard Szczecinski is now called Stargard. You can't say that her birth place is Stargard because it's not, it's not what it was called at the time she was born, and It's not what appears on her birth certificate." I don't understand why you would call my edits childish and say I do edit warrings. Each time I revert something I message the author of the reverted edit with explanation. ArturSik (talk) 10:01, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

I did say it seems childish, not that you or your edits are. And edit warring is not about being right, but just reverting back and forth; anybody is free to just walk away. As I said, both of you need more competence, and less ownership. I will not touch this article again, but be aware that even good articles may become former good articles. And what is happening over there is just paving the way for that: the kind of behaviour by all involved will make the article deteriorate so much that it might loose the good article status. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 10:06, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

reverting is the last thing I want but if people change correct informations to incorrocted it leaves me with no other choice. I can leave a note explaining why it is this way and not the other and ask for not changing this but there's nothing else that I can do. I am the person who contributed to this article becoming GA and I cannot let people destroy it, and don't get me wrong I'm not saying others can't touch it, I'm just always there to double check if what they did is correct and when it comes to her birth place I dealt with this before and a lot of people get it wrong. As I said I always message the person who's edits I revert but sometimes they ignore what I say and begin edit wars. That's one of the reasons I've requested protection for this page. ArturSik (talk) 10:26, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

The case rests. I really do not care. Lectonar (talk) 10:27, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Lectonar. Would you mind explaining in a bit more detail why you decided to decline protecting the Sam Pepper article? As I said in my request, I am aware that the page isn't edited extremely frequently, but these are obviously vandalism and BLP violations and they can be found at the top of the revision history. There's no shortage of problematic revisions once you look deeper either. WP:PCPP says

Pending changes protection should not be used on articles with a very high edit rate

So what rate of editing would justify protection in your view? To me, the BLP violations lead me to believe the page should be protected. I would appreciate some insight on your end. Eventhorizon51 ^(talk) 14:41, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

I was aware of all of that, but: Wikipedia should stay the encyclopedia that everyone can edit, not: the encyclopedia where your edits are reviewed before going "live"; to quote a bit more from protection policy "....Pending changes may be used to protect articles against: persistent vandalism, violations of the biographies of living persons policy and copyright violations...". Carly Fiorina presidential campaign, 2016 was an article I pending-changes protected, e.g....this had about 2 or 3 vadalism edits per day for some time before protection. much also depends on how one reads "persistent"; policy is more or less mum on that account. In very olden (Wikipedia-)times I would have said: just watchlist and revert. In consequnce, I have watchlisted the article. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 15:15, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation; I appreciate it. Eventhorizon51 ^(talk) 15:31, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Good question. In addition to User:Ravensfire's reverts within the last couple days, I also noted that they had to reverse other edits just this month. I therefore chose to protect the page, taking in concern User:Ravensfire's comments. Feel free to drop the protection down if you don't think it's warranted. Academic Challenger (talk) 20:10, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

I found your name in Wikipedia:Translators_available#German-to-English. I recently translated User:Degeno/Canton of Mutterstadt, using Google translate (carefully sentence by sentence, sometime clause by clause, cleaning up and resolving issues as best I could), and I'd appreciate it if you could double-check it to the point where I might be able to remove the "rough translation" banner. I lined up the original German sentences with my translations using Template:Clarify, which I hope will make that easier, but the text still follows de:Kanton Mutterstadt closely if that's better.

Thanks! - Degeno (talk) 04:50, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

It has been brought to my notice that you have deleted my Wiki page, "Chunky Zucchini", for being an "ATP (attack page)". However, the page contains a clear notice that it was uploaded with consent of Chunky Zucchini, and that he is okay with the page being up and does not take offence. Please bring the page back up. Thank you.

PS: If the phone number is too offensive (even though Chunky thought it was fine), I will remove it at your request.

PS 2: It appears the page has also been protected, but I shall note here that I would not have recreated the page without permission from the deleter of said page (Lectonar (you)) anyway.

PS 3: It also appears that the page might've been taken down for an unsourced BLP, in which case I will gladly remove the biography section.

Maybe you can remember me from the discussion we had at the time about the Luang Por Dhammajayo article. I was wondering what your thoughts were on the Warakagoda Sri Gnanarathana Thero article and the edit-warring that is going on. Nobody really does anything about it, because nobody knows a thing about the subject, myself included, but it is a lot of messy editing and reverts. Please let me know what you think could be done about it.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 22:29, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

I see you recently accepted this unsourced addition to February 1. I was able to find a source supporting this addition and add it to February 1.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide.

Please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 15:15, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Lectonar. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "SahBabii".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 16:40, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Lectonar, Never mind, sir. I will try to ask someone else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marykartowski (talk • contribs) 13:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Lectonar, I see source code of some new Wikipedia pages (e.g., 26-Mar-2018 created new article: view-source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma_Senbet_Fund) have a NOINDEX HTML tag (<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/>). I think Google Search spider honors that tag by not adding to Google Search Index, and thus Google Search does not return these new Wikipedia articles via search string "https://www.google.com/search?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma_Senbet_Fund". I've read "Articles older than 90 days are automatically indexed".

• Does that mean Google Search Crawl Policy stops honoring a NOINDEX tag after a target page is 90 days old, or more likely Wikipedia robots remove the NOINDEX tag (and adds the INDEX tag) from new articles after 90 days (26-Mar-2018 + 3 months = 26-Jun-2018)?
  • I'm guessing the latter. I think because Reviewedness data is lost 90 days after creation, Wikipedia Patrollers might not be able to know if a page was reviewed before 90-days, so that Wikipedia robotic software probably uses a configuration variable ($wgRCMaxAge, or $wgPageTriageMaxAge) to remove the NOINDEX HTML tag from new pages after 90-days.
• Do Wikipedia New Page Patrols usually shorten this wait from 90 days down to xx days?
• Is there a way to see the status (or queue, or schedule, or backlog, or ETA) for New Page Patrol's review of a specific new Wikipedia articles?

P.S. I know there are 5.6 million Wikipedia articles, and only a tiny squad of Patrollers. And we (Patrollers, Administrators, Contributors, Editors) are all volunteers. But I really strove in good faith to create a Wikipedia article that met Wikipedia excellent standards (notable, useful, neutral, factual, encyclopedic, supported by 3rd party evidence, referenced, accurate, spam-free, advertisement-free, not vandalism, not hoax, not violate copyright, not defamatory, not exploiting Wikipedia to earn money, not orphaned, etc).

Hello,

The Randy Orton page, currently on semi-protect pending changes protection has been for a couple of days blizzarded by endless, very similar, edits from a variety of IPs (my rough reading of them indicates that a dynamic range probably wouldn't work, but I shall endeavour to look into it), several editors, including myself, have been filtering the messages.

However it has reached such a high level that I was hoping you could temporarily (1/2 weeks) shift protection to standard semi-protect since the article has fallen out of the "infrequently edited" category atm.

Many Thanks (please ping with any response)

Looks like all the recent disruption has come from a single IP that is now blocked. Please consider unprotecting unless we see that the issue absolutely cannot be solved with reverts/blocks.
