Why hello there!
Hi SFR, how is this for a message informing user's of AI-ABECR regulations regarding what kind of edit requests are allowed?


I just spotted your username for the first time ever (in the Administrators' newsletter), and have to say you have a great username.

== Belated response ==


== Appeal ==
Since the case is closed, I'll reply here. You wrote{{pb}}" definitely does add claim language that is not found in . adds claim language that is not found in . Is that enough to show a pattern?"{{pb}} The answer is "yes, it shows a pattern of attributing certain categories of claim that absolutely must not be repeated as fact in wikivoice". The Israeli military makes claims every day, many of which turn out to be false. For example, the head of that research institute told the press that he had multiple bodies of decapitated babies when in fact there were none. Hamas does it too. All claims by warring parties against their enemies must be reported as attributed assertions. Not doing so would be highly destructive to article integrity. There's nothing wrong with calling them "claims" either. ]<sup><small>]</small></sup> 03:33, 13 November 2024 (UTC)


A while ago, I was topic banned by you as per this report-. I haven't edited since late November, but I was wondering if you could reconsider your decision.
:I reached out to VR about this ], and that has much of my thoughts on it. Long story short is that there was simply too much in the report to handle at AE, and with ARBPIA5 in the wings it would be best to investigate it there. That includes determining if the dozens of diffs provided show a pattern of tendentiously misrepresenting what another editor is doing. Much as I said to VR, looking into that report fully would have involved source analysis, offering other sources to possibly demonstrate that the sources cited aren't following the mainstream reporting or analysis, how the MOS applies to the dozens of individual edits, and it's just beyond what AE is for.
:Closing it as too complex, no action was also a possibility, but I don't think that is the best way to handle it when there are accusations in both directions in the report and about the content of the report. ] (]) 12:34, 13 November 2024 (UTC)


I acknowledge that my behavior and edits were subpar at the A/E report, but I strongly believe that overall on the main-space, I am a productive editor who always uses high quality sources and abides by Misplaced Pages's norms on content creation. I believe my interactions with GoDG were an aberration in which things got overly heated and led to frivolous back and forths on Misplaced Pages A/E when they should have been resolved through good faith, substantive discussions on the t/p and related dispute resolution noticeboards. I strongly maintain that I did make a genuine, good faith attempt to resolve the related content on DN- in which I laid out a case to summarize and include content based on high quality sources while the A/E was going on.
:: I believe you are making a fundamental error. I'm preparing a little essay about. ]<sup><small>]</small></sup> 11:11, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
:::Let me know when it's up. I'm interested to read it. ] (]) 12:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)


I'd also like to point out that this topic area on Misplaced Pages has quite a few bad actors including perennial sockpuppets and some unserious editors who use this platform to inflate, and in many cases, fabricate historical events in order to aggrandize their communities. For many years, I've been a guardrail against a lot of these bad actors and have done a lot to prevent them from disrupting and vandalizing Misplaced Pages.
==ARBECR, ] and ]==
Are Portal:Current events and Misplaced Pages:In the news/Candidates within scope of ARBECR? If so, might benefit from a reminder judging from some of their contributions. Portal:Current events seems to be a possible ] enforcement blind spot. ] (]) 13:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)


If unbanned, I would learn from my recent experiences in order to leaven my interactions with editors I have had intense content disputes with, such as trying not to let my personal feelings or disdain cloud my judgment on Misplaced Pages, I'd confront any disagreement between myself and another editor through only discussing the issue on the article's talk page, and I'd make a resolute commitment to immediately de-escalating conflicts and avoiding and language that would affront the other party.
:It does apply there, and it definitely is a blind spot. A lot of the editors there aren't ARBPIA regulars and aren't really aware of ECR. I'll give them a warning. If you see it continuing, let me know. Thanks for the heads up. ] (]) 13:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
:Actually, I see they were given a recent warning about a week ago so I've blocked for a week. ] (]) 13:35, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
::I didn't even notice the warning. Will try to figure out how to keep an eye on the portal. ] (]) 13:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
:::I'd add it to my watchlist, but at 5700 pages it's already not very effective for patrolling except in the broadest sense. I also don't want to just show up at ITN/C or the current events portal and start telling everyone to start enforcing ECR. ] (]) 13:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

ScottishFinnishRaddish, can you take a look at the recent behaviour from GoDG, he clearly has an extreme vendetta against and is desperate to hound me off this page.


:This is certain to be a productive editor. We'll see how it plays out. ] (]) 16:22, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
A few days back, another user disagreed with some content on the Khalistan movement, in which I added content from the page ]- see and . The content was a signifcant diplomatic fallout as a result of India's alleged role in clandestine operations against Khalistan activists, and I thought that precluding such a consequential event from the page would constitute non neutral editing and make it appear that the page was skewed towards a pro-India bias.

== Taha Danesh ==
I find it reprehensible that this bullying behaviour has carte-blanche on Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 19:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello ScottishFinnishRadish, I want to bring you a complaint about Taha Danesh. On and elsewhere this editor is being very disruptive. They reverted my addition and falsely accused me of everything in a frankly bizarre edit summary:. This was ironic because I did explain my edit and use sources while BLP clearly doesn't apply. Even worse is that they deleted the content about executions and child soldiers last month without explanation: and . Their are other blatantly POV issues with these edits including about the fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. They have made numerous edits like this across other pages and have gotten into many edit wars recently.


I saw on their talk page you notified them about some of their templates that are up for deletion. I think Taha Danesh is using an IP address disruptively . The latest edits on the IP were reverted by you because they deleted the deletion templates you added. I figured I would make you aware that they are the same person. This IP has exclusively edited the same pages as Taha Danesh, including edit warring mainly on pages created by Taha Danesh. Examples include: , and .

Hi {{ping|ScottishFinnishRadish}}, sorry to bother you again but could you please give another warning to Taha Danesh as they have continued to edit war and there are obvious competence issues.

== Gaza Genocide ==

I believe you protected Talk on Gaza Genocide. I have insufficient editing experience to qualify for the proper status to post on Talk for this page. I was wondering how it is possible to communicate the simplest information. Specifically, a reference to the link of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's latest report
Genocide as Colonial Erasure from October 2024 is missing. This is the link:

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/genocide-as-colonial-erasure-report-francesca-albanese-01oct24/

The reference number should be placed before number 240. I hope you or someone else will add it.

Is there any way I can post a topic on Talk to add information for someone else to consider and edit? I understand the importance of restricting access to controversial topics. I am only starting to edit again, after a 7 year absence, and I never edited much to begin with. I would like to improve accuracy of topics with minor additions. ] (]) 11:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

== Appeal on indefinite ban on topic ==


hey im new to wikipedia, well not really but i have an account now and i was wondering how can I get an edit done on a page if the page is like totally dead has been for years and tons of the information is outdated? (tom clancys rainbow six siege) im just asking you because i think i saw you on the edit history of that page or another one and dont know who else to ask. ] (]) 12:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello SFR, One year and one month ago, you banned me "indefinitely from any edits related to the Arab/Israel conflict" for unknowingly committing "a 1RR" violation even though I had undone the violation by myself immediately after realizing it was a 1RR, before anyone had done any other edits to the page, and before your ban. I argued at the time that it was clear that I simply hadn't noticed that it was a 1RR violation, as I explicitly stated in the edit summary that I was again reverting someone else's undue removal of content, and only a few minutes later I undid my own edit as I realized it would constitute a 1RR in less than 24 hours violation on my part, but still you ruled to ban me "indefinitely" as, according to you, the Arab/Israel conflict was too serious for someone who was not 100% familiar with the 1RR violation rule. Now that over one year has passed since then, and as I truly believe that a permanent ban (for a violation that had already been corrected by myself in a matter of minutes) was a harsh decision, I intend to appeal the indefinite ban. Before taking the matter to appropriate mechanisms of ban reviews, though, I decided to present these arguments first to you, and to therefore ask if you would be willing to consider removing the indefinite ban yourself. Thank you very much for your time and attention, and for all the time dedicated to Misplaced Pages, and have a good day. ] (]) 08:56, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

== Question about what constitutes edit warring (@]) ==
Hello {{ping|ScottishFinnishRadish}}, {{ping|Barkeep49}}. I wanted to ask you for some guidance whether the following situation amounts to edit warring.
* Following a content dispute whether the "]" should be included on the ] article, an RfC was started on 22 November.
* On 27 November, despite the ongoing RfC, User:Selfstudier added content related to the "Gaza genocide" to the article.
* Another editor reverted the addition and requested that Selfstudier refrain from adding the disputed content while the RfC is still ongoing.
* A few minutes later, Selfstudier restored it anyway
Selfstudier says the RfC is about the lead, not the body, but the RfC is clearly about the body too (check the text here ).
I contacted Selfstudier on their talk page asking them to self-revert but they said this wasn't edit warring , asking me to re-read the RfC (which I read, and is clearly on the body too) and threatened to report me for making a 'false accusation'. Then they went on to remove our discussion from the page . Overall this isn't the first time I'm seeing Selfstudier doing this for content that is being discussed in an RfC following a content dispute. What should one make out of this case? thanks. ] (]) 06:14, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Have a great day! :)

Appeal

A while ago, I was topic banned by you as per this report-. I haven't edited since late November, but I was wondering if you could reconsider your decision.

I acknowledge that my behavior and edits were subpar at the A/E report, but I strongly believe that overall on the main-space, I am a productive editor who always uses high quality sources and abides by Misplaced Pages's norms on content creation. I believe my interactions with GoDG were an aberration in which things got overly heated and led to frivolous back and forths on Misplaced Pages A/E when they should have been resolved through good faith, substantive discussions on the t/p and related dispute resolution noticeboards. I strongly maintain that I did make a genuine, good faith attempt to resolve the related content on DN- in which I laid out a case to summarize and include content based on high quality sources while the A/E was going on.

I'd also like to point out that this topic area on Misplaced Pages has quite a few bad actors including perennial sockpuppets and some unserious editors who use this platform to inflate, and in many cases, fabricate historical events in order to aggrandize their communities. For example, one perennial sockmaster in this topic area was pretending to be me in order to get me "blocked everywhere" as per Inzo. For many years, I've been a guardrail against a lot of these bad actors and have done a lot to prevent them from disrupting and vandalizing Misplaced Pages.

If unbanned, I would learn from my recent experiences in order to leaven my interactions with editors I have had intense content disputes with, such as trying not to let my personal feelings or disdain cloud my judgment on Misplaced Pages, I'd confront any disagreement between myself and another editor through only discussing the issue on the article's talk page, and I'd make a resolute commitment to immediately de-escalating conflicts and avoiding and language that would affront the other party.

Thanks. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

As this was placed based on the consensus of administrators at AE I will not unilaterally lift it. You can appeal at AE, but it is very unlikely that it will be successful without demonstrating constructive editing in other topics. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Ok, when I do hit 6 months/500 edits, do I have to appeal at a certain noticeboard or will it automatically be lifted? Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
It will automatically be lifted. Please give WP:GAMING a quick review, too. It is expected that your edits will be, for the most part, substantial. A bunch of small copy edits that appear like you're making edits just to reach 500 could result in further sanctions. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Ok, thank you. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Taha Danesh

Hello ScottishFinnishRadish, I want to bring you a complaint about Taha Danesh. On Ruhollah Khomeini and elsewhere this editor is being very disruptive. They reverted my addition and falsely accused me of everything in a frankly bizarre edit summary:Rv unexplained changes with ideological or political or personal previews or poor or unsourced statements and BLP issue or vandalism. This was ironic because I did explain my edit and use sources while BLP clearly doesn't apply. Even worse is that they deleted the content about executions and child soldiers last month without explanation: and . Their are other blatantly POV issues with these edits including about the fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. They have made numerous edits like this across other pages and have gotten into many edit wars recently.

I saw on their talk page you notified them about some of their templates that are up for deletion. I think Taha Danesh is using an IP address disruptively 93.71.57.57. The latest edits on the IP were reverted by you because they deleted the deletion templates you added. I figured I would make you aware that they are the same person. This IP has exclusively edited the same pages as Taha Danesh, including edit warring mainly on pages created by Taha Danesh. Examples include: Eitaa Messenger, Bale Messenger and Rubika.

Thanks for your time. Tele-1985 (talk) 20:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

I have given them a CTOP alert for post-1978 Iranian politics. If the disruption continues I suggest you make a report at WP:AE. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look. Tele-1985 (talk) 21:57, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @ScottishFinnishRadish:, sorry to bother you again but could you please give another warning to Taha Danesh as they have continued to edit war and there are obvious competence issues. Only an hour after you gave them the CTOP alert they continued to edit war at Ruhollah Khomeini with another odd edit summary that didn't really reflect their edit. Fortunately User:HistoryofIran reverted them and pointed out that the sources were clearly reliable and to make their case on the talk page.

After a few days of calm they started edit warring over the same issue this time on Ebrahim Raisi. Yesterday they reverted my correction of a figure without using an edit summary and reinserted a completely unsourced estimate of "several". In the last hour they have again reverted me three further times with bizarre edit summaries where they claim that Amnesty International and NBC news are "clearly biased and politically motivated". They also didn't seem to understand what "several" meant. They also repeatedly claimed that my usage of "thousands" was unsourced even though I quoted Amnesty in my edit summary; 1, 2 & 3.

Thanks. Tele-1985 (talk) 20:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I suggest you bring this to WP:AE. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Ok, I will look to do that shortly. I will add that they just reverted for a fourth time in only two hours. Tele-1985 (talk) 21:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Permission to respond freely to a false sock-puppetry accusation

I have been falsely accused by @Levivich of sock puppetry. As his "evidence" is related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict topic I have been banned from by you, I need your approval to be able to respond to his false accusation freely. Vegan416 (talk) 22:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

That's close enough to WP:BANEXEMPT where I think it's fine. I urge you to focus specifically on the evidence and be as brief as possible. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

your suggestion

Hey, SFR! You wrote here maybe a rule against making comments. Non-parties can only provide evidence pertaining to the report, and any commentary can be removed by an admin as a clerking action, and I didn't want to ask there because I'm probably just stupid. Are you meaning 'relevant diff, or don't open a section'? Valereee (talk) 00:54, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

More or less, yeah. I wouldn't specifically say someone would need a diff or link, since someone might be providing context to an action related to the report or something similar. The general idea being we don't need people showing up sniping at each other or just giving an opinion on the situation. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:12, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Split request for vagina page

Hi, you reverted a removal of the "split request" notice on Vagina by User:Afranklady with the reasoning "Rv sock" but the same user closed the request on Talk:Vagina. Either the split request has to be reopened, or the notice has to be removed from the article. I removed the notice from the article, but if you're going to restore it, then please reopen the request on the talk page. Tuscan Ant (talk) 20:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Looks like M.Bitton took care of this. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:56, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Well done for taking care of that talk page vandal at the range 2003:D9:6700:0:0:0:0:0/41! I did my own rangeblock calculations and ended up at the same /41 destination. I also found out that the vandalism had actually been going on since more than a week ago, and was about to message you about it beforehand, until I noticed you already blocked it! — AP 499D25 (talk) 12:54, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Glad to help out. I checked the /32 as well, but didn't seem like they were on that whole range, although the extra edits still weren't great. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:55, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
(edit conflict) (I was going to do the range searching before I made the AIV report, but the disruption was rapid enough that I went a little 'hasty' and reported the latest address instead.) — AP 499D25 (talk) 13:02, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
That's the right way to handle it. I blocked the /64 initially, then started looking into the range. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Scott Ritter

If you have time and are inclined to redact, this is going off the rails. Thanks as always for action or feedback. JFHJr () 05:22, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you again, in words, for your help. In the unlikely event I'm ever handed a janny mop, I'll remember "bloop" is an RD2 option . Thanks again for being available. Cheers! JFHJr () 20:03, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, and my phone will always choose the autocorrect option to make me look the worst. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
This is a basic universal rule. Nobody escapes it. I even get auto'd TALKING to my phone. Sigh. JFHJr () 20:37, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

I had a question

hey im new to wikipedia, well not really but i have an account now and i was wondering how can I get an edit done on a page if the page is like totally dead has been for years and tons of the information is outdated? (tom clancys rainbow six siege) im just asking you because i think i saw you on the edit history of that page or another one and dont know who else to ask. 88TylerDurden (talk) 12:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

That article is extended-protected, which means only those with more than 500 edits and at least 30 days may edit it. Since this is not the place to request one... What's outdated? 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 12:52, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
Oh alright I never knew the requirements to edit one of those. I mean, basically everything is outdated I was reading some of the stuff and didn't even know what half of it meant. Looks like it was made at the beginning of the game and hasn't been updated since. 88TylerDurden (talk) 00:08, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Case request 😜

Shucks, mister(?). We was just havin' some fun. We did'n mean nuthin' -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I shouldn't be so cross, I'm pretty sure I've hopped onto a case request like that before. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
