Wikipedia will lose credibility if your censorship of Swedish rape stats persists
It is not my intention to engage in editing wars but it is my right to ask why users such as yourself are trying to hide recent news reports from Sweden in favor of old data. I don't care if you wish to remove less mainstream references but you should not remove news reports on alarming increases in rapes of Swedish women. These are encyclopaedic facts.

I am shocked that:

1. You are a woman because your censorship of Sweden's being the 2nd highest country for rape in the world is negligent of a fact that demands attention in order to create the change that protects women there.

2. As a sociology graduate how can you in all good conscience, censor mainstream news reports about how Swedish women are afraid to leave their homes because of the violence perpetrated against them

3. As an assistant professor you should be ashamed of yourself for hiding recent research by 2 Swedish newspapers

4. You are American and sit comfortably in your safe country while Swedish women have to fight silently because hypocrites like you do not want the world to hear how "Sweden has become the rape capital of the Western world" to quote a recent news article.

Is it because the facts - which are encyclopaedic - oppose your personal ideologies?

I am a woman too but ashamed to have you in the same category. 41.13.194.161 (talk) 06:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)


 * There's a lot I could rebut aand reply to, but I'm not sure you're interested in sincere dialog. If so, let me know. I'll just say it's very easy for the types of sources you suggest using to spin statistics. For example, [www.10news.one/shocking-statistics-1-in-8-swedish-women-will-be-raped/amp/ an improper use of annual crime rates] says Swedish women have a 1 in 8 lifetime chance of being a victim of rape. This article, however, cites experts explaining why the "rape capital" moniker is problematic. Here in the USA, for the record, the lifetime risk of sexual assault and rape for women is about 1 in 5, about 80% of whom were age 25 or less at first assault. The numbers for child sexual abuse are worse (1 in 4 girls, 1 in 6; same source). It would be incorrect to suggest I or anyone in the USA sits comfortably.

Please protect the Draft evasion article during the current war scare
Hello EvergreenFir, - Yesterday I thanked you for reverting a humongous nuisance edit from the Draft evasion article, and I am wondering if you can get the article protected during the current war scare.

The Draft evasion article was coasting along at approx. 400 pageviews / day. With the current events in Iran / Iraq, though, it has leapt up to 12-16,000 / day over the last four days.

Several years ago, I attempted to get it semi-protected but was turned down. With the amazing surge in pageviews, though, and the controversy surrounding the current war scare, vandalism by IP users is sure to occur, and in fact has occurred twice over the last three days. Just now, a third IP user added unnecessary padding. I suspect the Draft evasion article is being viewed now largely by terrified young people and their parents, and not just in the U.S. Unlike many articles on the subject, it is objective and thoroughly sourced. It would be tragic if some clever vandal manages to distort viewers' understanding of the subject.

I do not have the time to monitor and edit WP on a daily basis. I wonder if you, with a lot of earned credibility here, would be willing to try to get the Draft evasion article protected at least from IP users for the duration of the war scare? I will look for your answer, if any, below. Thanks for listening! Best, - Babel41 (talk) 02:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I will keep an eye on the page and if it gets out of hand I will semi-protect it. Page protections are "responsive" instead of "proactive", so I'll need to wait a bit. But I absolutely agree it has high risk for vandalism and disruptive editing. Many thanks for keeping an eye on the page! Let me ping who might be willing to add it to his watchlist as well.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 05:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Mongoloid
Hello, you recently left a comment on my page telling me to stop removing content from the Mongoloid that was original research, which I clearly explained contained statements, ideas, and words which weren't in the references given.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoloid#Finns_and_Sami

None of the references cited in this section contain the word "Mongoloid" and none of them make any reference at all to the racial origin of Finnic people. Their placement in here endorses the idea that a genetic haplogroup is connected to racial features of ancient populations and modern people in Asia and Europe, something that is not supported by any of the references in here and by modern science. That is pure original research and requires no "discussion" at the talk page. I am asking you to read the references in the article, use your search function to try and find the word "Mongoloid" within them and then respond to me with a reason why you think this section should not be deleted.

-Hunan201p (talk) 21:34, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

IPv6 block
Thank you for invoking the /64 rangeblock of the editor who was harrassing me. I am curious about the policy on /64 rangeblocks for IPv6. I would think that they should be standard operating procedure, given that devices are typically always provisioned a /64 range all to themselves. Is there some reason that you decided to issue the rangeblock, while did not? Thanks again. Elizium23 (talk) 00:56, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, /64 blocks are common and you are right that they are often assigned to one device/modem (WP:IPV6). But it's fairly normal to block just one IP unless there's been disruption from the whole range. Some places (rare though they may be) do not assign one /64 to a device and sometimes the ranges are from public access points. I tend to use the rangeblocks a bit more than some, though.

Suspicious IP addresses
Hello EvergreenFir, I want to say thanks for your vigilance in guarding against probable sock accounts at the contested pages during the 7 day block of DerekHistorian and myself. It must take a lot of patience to manage all of our drama around here. Unfortunately, I have another suspicious IP user to inform you of. This IP reverted material that had previously been reverted by DerekHistorian, just hours after he and I were blocked. The contested page is interracial marriage, here is the history of that page and you can see the January 29 edit by user 24.247.60.2:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interracial_marriage&action=history

I really hate to have to nag you with all these page histories but there does seem to be an IP sock puppet following DerekHistorian everywhere he goes. But since we're all about to be snowed in here in this country, I figured, "what the heck". Again, thank you very much for your helping me out around here. -- Hunan201p (talk) 22:20, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Is not
The one-year lockdown for the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment article not excessive? Would it not be better to act against the miscreants that are vandalising, rather than prevent the article from being cared for (an article which, apart from the deletion-reversion activity, has only been poorly attended)? I would shorten the lock-down, and/or create a mechansim by which edits can be suggested. You will never get all talented editors to have sufficient trust to log, and it makes no sense to stop their (our) part in forward progress because of one or a few other n'er-do-wells. Cheers.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello ,

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
 * Source Guide Discussion

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
 * Redirects


 * Discussions and Resources
 * There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
 * A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
 * A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
 * A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

And now?
Hello there. At Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RRArchive403, you advised those, who opposed Horse Eye Jack's actions, that if there's a need for admin intervention, WP:ANI is the place to detail the issues. And so I did. The result was, in my view, not completely satisfying. One uninvolved editor stepped in, all kinds of rules were appealed to and/or dismissed, with or without sound reasoning. Unfortunately, no administrator came around to make any sort of judgement, and all the discussion lead to was the archive. What is the next step to take?

I was wondering why you edit statements about cosmology when you don't have any stated education in it. You seem like the totally wrong person to comment on the subject or delete anyone's thoughts. Can you expand on the subject? Thenewbigbang (talk) 10:19, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia just cites, summarizes, and paraphrases professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary. We do not allow (much less rely on) an editor's personal knowledge beyond their ability to regurgitate some other source.

I'm not interested in editing anything. I'm not here to battle conventionalism. I'm here to explain our universe based on the laws of physics. The big bang theory starts out breaking the first law by stating nothing existed before the event anf if someone says "that isn't what it says", they need need to be checked into a hospital. The big bang also breaks the second law of thermodynamics by assuming a cloud of gas and dust creates fusion with the weakest force in the universe. Really? If it was that easy, why couldn't we do it here? Now, I will explain our universe following the laws. Everything was already here when the big bang happened. There. Get it? Why state the universe was born a mere 13.8 billion years ago? That's an eyeblink. It was here. All the matter to make the galaxies was here. All the dark matter was here. It was just two objects colliding in existing, static space. The first law totally followed. Einstein couldn't have said it better himself. Now, the second law of thermodynamics. All the galaxies in my theory began their lives in the plasma state. They have cooled from the very first second because they are shrapnel from a collision between two gargantuan objects at an astronomical speed. So instead of close has and dust magically gaining heat breaking the second law, my theory follows it, again, perfectly. So, I won't bother Wiki any more. I've found a website that believes me. I know the whole world is a victim of conventionalism just as it was when the Earth was the center of the universe. I get it. The only problem is that countless scientists with great careers have to deal with a theory that doesn't work. I know because I read about it. I'm not saying it to irritate people. I'm not saying the world is flat and we didn't go to the moon. I am explaining the universe the way it works, by law. There is no other way to do it, is there?

Thanks for notifying User:IagoQnsi of inappropriate tagging of established users as "single-purpose accounts"
I spent a bunch of time investigating who tagged all those clearly-established users on the talk page of Spanish flu as "single-purpose accounts", found it to be User:IagoQnsi, found which edits it was, and collected the contributions of those mis-tagged users. Then, when I finally publish that edit... only to find that you beat me to it. :-D Nice job.

And then, after removing the inappropriate tag for User:Yungeditor, all of a sudden, that user starts acting inappropriately and deleted a clearly-legitimate comment. I left a message on that user's talk page, but before I could revert the change, you did it already. Dang, you're on top of things.

 * There is an active discussion with an equal number of editors arguing both sides at the referenced page (about 3-3). The tag applied, NPOV, indicates this ongoing discussion, and serves to notify other editors of this discussion. There is currently no consensus that either criteria for removal has been met: 1) that the issue has been resolved or 2) there is no issue it at all. It is disruptive to repeatedly remove it absent 1) or 2), and counterproductive, since tags help bring additional opinions into the talk page. When Selfstudier was reverted on removal of the tag, he moved it to a limited section of the article when it clearly applies to the article broadly (The content under discussion is present in the lead and several sections of the article). What I ask here is that policy be followed and {{u|Selfstudier} do the right thing. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 20:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you...
...for your comments at this thread. I realise it's all academic now, but since you asked me a question directly: I am on the RAC of the Vegan Society. This means that I provide advice to the Vegan Society on academic/research matters; in practice, this means I'm sometimes asked to do peer reviews, contribute short pieces for the society's website, and speak at events. I have never been paid by the Vegan Society, or received any kind of funding (directly or indirectly) from them. You mentioned in the thread that I should use a COI template on my userpage.

An observation re Gaza war
Now that the ANI seems done with, I wanted to make some comments:

More specifically, the first intervention you made whereby you redacted a comment I made here, I assume based on the theory that it was a personal attack. This comment was made immediately in response to an edit that also included a personal attack but you chose not to redact that. While I am sure it was not your intention, in practice, your intervention exacerbated the situation.

You then closed the "second RFC" that I created with the statement that it was about the same sentence as the first. That this is not the case is primae facie evident by examination of the questions. Had you also closed the first (non-neutral, ill-posed and of no value in resolving the questions or the tagging) and set a new one altogether then that would have been a helpful intervention.

Finally, your reversion of my edits following closure of the second RFC have no basis since they had nothing to do with the first RFC, a properly sourced edit should not be reverted in general and I fail to see how either edit could be described either as "pointy" or "inappropriate". To begin with, I was refraining from editing them into the article while the RFC (mine, not the first) was running and secondly I had already announced that I would be editing them in when it was closed, which is what I did.

I'm not going to do anything about it, I just wanted, now that the fuss has died down, to say these few things that I had refrained from mentioning while there was a live discussion at ANI and which I considered would only be a distraction had I raised them there.

Thanks for listening. Selfstudier (talk) 10:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Incorrect glyph
I am not sure why you reverted my edit on the Sardinia page. Can't you see that’s an incorrect glyph for the Greek letter phi (φ)? I just replaced it with the normal phi character. What was there before, and is back there now since you restored it, is a special phi glyph, not the normal Greek character. I mean, you’re an admin, which makes you all-powerful, so if it’s so important to you that a weird glyph be there, you can have it. But I’ve been a professional linguist all my life, and I’m in my seventies, so I think I know what I’m doing. Plus, I’ve made tens of thousands of valuable contributions to the Wikipedia over a good dozen years. Pasquale (talk) 20:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

And, by the way, there’s another problem with the Greek characters in the same Etymology section, which I won’t bother fixing now, given your propensity for reverting. The Greek name for the island, which occurs three times in that section, should have an acute accent over the ω. If you studied Classical Greek, then you would know that an acute accent over a final vowel automatically turns to grave before another word (as in: ἡ Σαρδὼ πάλαι). But, if the word occurs in isolation or before punctuation, the accent is acute, not grave. Pasquale (talk) 21:01, 7 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that! The revert was for some tomfoolery in the Climate section. I've restored your edit for . The revert was definitely not related to your edit; it was my mistake that I did not notice it when undoing the other editors' disruption.

Stalking and monitoring by BirdValiant
I'm an American that has neutral views towards countries that America views as adversaries. I denounce any wild accusation that I may be a communist infiltrator. Second, many articles relating to China all have an Anti-Chinese political bias to it that are regarded as fact with citations from news articles without any verifiable proof. I'm amused that BirdValiant has taken an immense interest in stalking me and would like to have actions taken against me. As a user you have no right to prevent me from using this website or the right of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yungeditor (talk • contribs) 03:45, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Could you take a look at Yungeditor's recent edits relating to the Chinese government
Hello. During the Spanish Flu RFC, where many users were being tagged as single-purpose accounts, one of the users tagged was User:Yungeditor; this user, however, deleted several votes during that RFC without any explanation. I watch the user's talk page after the incident, and noticed that another user, Horse Eye Jack, reverted Yungeditor's recent edits on the Uyghurs page. I then looked at Yungeditor's other recent edits and saw that they very clearly appear to be biased in favor of the Chinese government: removal of a large section and well-sourced section of the Xi Jinping article, addition of largely-unsourced pro-Chinese-government rhetoric, removal of Wiki-links for Xinjiang re-education camps, etc. Many of the user's contributions are mis-labelled and mis-tagged as minor edits.

I have reverted those other edits which I deemed to be out-of-line, but I think that more action may be needed. I hope you can take a look at the situation. Thanks. BirdValiant (talk) 03:26, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

On the other hand, I guess it's good that you saw everything for yourself so that you could come to your own conclusion. Also, I didn't even bother to look at older edits, so thanks for taking the time to do that.
 * I should also probably add that I do not remember ever calling anyone an "infiltrator" of any kind. I also consider that the notion that I was "stalking" YungEditor is incorrect, because I had noticed a pattern of disruptive behavior which was also noticed by several other users; WP:HA

You templated a discussion here to prevent discussion on the reliability of a YouTube video as a source. For only one editor was this the main concern of the discussion. Please remove the template and make an appropriate statement instead, thankyou. ~ R.T.G 22:25, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

 * And now you have taken it upon yourself to topic ban me. Only one editor saw this as a discussion about the validity of the video rather than the necessity of coverage of the topic. I was in response. I am not causing the disruption. That editor posted to ANI that I was edit warring for one revert, out of two edits to the article ever, over perhaps two weeks. You posted your personal opinion to the ANI thread, which you expected to be self explanatory. When I provided an argument that I was in fact following the requested guideline, which is not the same as WP:RS it should be noted, you templated the thread instantly, and went around templating all related discussion and topic banning me. I told the editor you are playing bully for that they did not know what they were talking about when they didn't. They were insistent, and claimed that assertion to be a personal attack. I pointed out that they did in fact make an error. They brought it to ANI. You are playing bully. Well bully for you then. ~ R.T.G 22:34, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Fringes edits by an "account on mission”
Hello, I got awareness of fringe edits by Hunan201p (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hunan201p) promotion racist ideas of “blonde haired and blue eyed” warriors in East Asia. His used references do not support these claims and only mention unknown origin in the case of the Xianbei. More fringe are his edits on blonde (hair) or Genghis Khan (also see talkpage). I think many edits of Hunan violate WP:SCIRS and WP:WEIGHT. Additionally some things about him remember me on the long term vandal Tirgil34 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Tirgil34). I mean blonde or red haired turks are his main target, as seemingly Hunan. Anyway, someone should watch this user carefully. Best regards.38.121.43.208 (talk) 15:08, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Topic ban from COVID
I made only two edits to that page ever. I discussed the issue on another page only when it was brought to ANI. The template says I can appeal to you directly. If RexxS doesn't ask me about YouTube videos, they aren't going to hear any more about it. There was nobody else involved. RexxS was not interested in improving/removing the YouTube source, but other editors were. I may have found a source which helps us achieve that, which was not easy. If RexxS starts an inconsequential argument with me or I feel like doing the same with them, I will report directly to this page before even responding... There is no point in me apologising to RexxS because it was at the point of claiming I understood their complaint that they lost it, so better to let them alone. Though I think the handling is a bit abrupt to say the least, I would consider you with some trust otherwise, so I am asking you to remove the ban on my understanding and see if I can behave myself... Does that constitute a resolution? ~ R.T.G 01:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * A bit of friendly advice for you, : I took a cursory glance at your talk page after seeing you pop up on WP:GS/COVID and WP:ANI. Put simply, in my experience, editors that continuously edit disruptively without engaging in the BRD cycle tend to find themselves, more often than not, blocked outright, especially when edit warring is involved. I strongly urge you to reconsider your approach to editing if you wish to edit constructively on this project, especially when there have been numerous other editors that have already asked you to as well. If you haven't noticed already, the project as a whole has astonishingly low tolerance for disruptive editing and edit warring, and rightfully so. OhKayeSierra (talk) 03:59, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I feel like the entire issue is being missed. The primary source of disruption was your behavior on the article's talk page, which you edited more than twice. You were not wrong that WP:MEDRS was a guideline and thus not ironclad, but what was most baffling was your unwillingness or inability to understand why that video was not remotely appropriate as a source. This would have resolved differently if "well, okay, let's find some other better sources" was the conclusion.
 * But it appears you were stuck on the Youtube issue as well as whether or not any medical doctor would be an "expert source" on general pathology. All that would have been fine, if a bit tendentious, but you went on to continue this line of argument on ANI and multiple user's talk pages. That multiple editors (your peers) from different areas of specialty and experience were disagreeing with you should have been the clue that even if you didn't understand why, you were not in the majority, acting against consensus, and possible "wrong".
 * What prompted me to give the t-ban was your behavior immediately following the ANI closure. You were not dropping the stick. You behavior toward was poor. You were warned by  to stop but you did not and they blocked you for it. Now, immediately after your block expired, you decide to antagonize El C further.
 * I am not convinced by any means that you will cease this pattern of disruption and thus I will not overturn the t-ban. If you want, and only with your blessing, I will copy-paste an appeal for you to WP:AN for review by editors and admins totally uninvolved with this. That is up to you, but you have the right.
 * Despite all this, and given these difficult times with SARS CoV19, I hope you and your loved ones are well. I know that others (myself as well) have been stressed from this and it sometimes spills over to Wikipedia. If that is the case here, consider the t-ban a request from fellow editors to take a break from this stressful and distressing topic. If not, I hope you are well nonetheless. Let me know if you'd like me to post on AN.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 04:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not a medical doctor, it's a general surgeon. The general surgeon was describing the pathology of this unusual pneumonia. He only studied for something like 10 years to be a general surgeon. Yes I can see he is "The Worlds No1 Slimming surgeon". I don't like that myself. I have had extreme difficulty finding a source for this.
 * You can put a halt on me Evergreen, but you can't tell me not to disagree with untrue claims like edit warring. That's the hinge here. Honestly, I have no interest in this fussy nonsense.


 * Where I live is one of the lowest uptakes of the virus for a city anywhere so far and the streets are deserted so we have yet to see. What is stressing me about it, is an accessible description of the mechanics of the virus. As an asthmatic who is generally interested in breathing issues, I found the understanding of the two types of alveolar, and how the virus is attacking them, quite helpful, and am stunned there is no reasonable descriptions of that on or off the site in conjuction with this event. Respiratory problems with inflammation can be helped so greatly with mental technique, whereas in the reverse, inexplicable asthma attacks can result in death in extreme cases, so I do feel it is important to try and cover that in the pathology in a simple way.
 * You can believe what you like about YouTube videos, but in the last month I myself have edited portraits of Donald Trumps sisters portrait and Mary Poppins portrait, high profile articles, both sourced from YouTube videos, before and after I changed them. It is indeed circumstantial to a case by case basis. If the focus was the content first, the YouTube video would have quickly become irrelevant. Even I have found an imperfect, but useful source on SARS from, from which the mechanics can be gleaned, published on PubMEd, but it requires a deep study as medical texts tend to do. If that is not going to be the focus of further debate, all you are going to get form me is contention, naturally, so in the face of the crowd, no thanks.
 * The virus does a certain thing. Let's help to fight it, not each other, or else no. I tried as best I could. Everyone has already got the gist of the spread of the disease. Now tell them how it works and how to prepare and survive it, or prevent that as you wish. I shouldn't need an ordeal to get that focus. ~ R.T.G 06:26, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Your revert on Mansplaining
Hello. You have reverted an edit I made on Mansplaining, without telling me what i did wrong. In my edit, i removed several invalid criticisms of the concept, including one that comes from Ann Widdecombe. I'm honestly not sure if the sources citing these critiques of the concept are deemed reliable or not, but i question the rationale behind taking a criticism of a feminist concept from a reactionary politician seriously. I mean reliable sources might quote Donald Trump's "criticism" of CNN, but it's still not real criticism, but rather partisan bullshit. CNN could make an interview with a climate denier, and it still wouldn't be acceptable as a "criticism" of the scientific consensus on climate change. This isn't Conservapedia, so why should we give voice to the likes of Ann Widdecombe? 46.97.170.78 (talk) 12:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Certain reactions (or a sample of them) can be appropriate for articles like mansplaining. She is a notable figure and her opinion is a decent example of the opposition to the term. But the main reasons for the revert were that (1) you need consensus to remove long-standing material and (2) "invalid criticisms" is your personal opinion which we cannot base our decisions on.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 20:32, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Ann Widdecombe is a reactionary, anti feminist, post truth politician. The argument in her "criticism" os that "women are more equal than ever", which is an unsubstantiated claim. Ultimately this is not criticism of the concept of mansplaining, it's merely her asserting her political views. Something like that may be appropriate on her own article, along with criticism of her views, but here, it's only an attempt to further push an anti feminist POV, on an already biased article. I made a second attempt at editing, this time ONLY removing the Ann Widdecombe part. I do admit i was a bit carried away with my first attempt. This edit was approved by User:Nithin, yet it was reverted again, and i got an edit war warning. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 05:48, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll repeat what i said on talk:mansplaining "I do agree with you on the fact that the edit warring claim by User:Binksternet is nonsensical (just look at the page history), i do agree with your second edit (the one that i approved) not because its anti-feminist, but because her argument doesn't make sense and is confusing when read. However, i don't agree with your first edit, it seems like you were removing any real criticism of mansplaining." Nithintalk 00:23, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

IP block durations
Hi,

Since you noted "continuation after previous block" in the block log for 198.190.234.6, did you mean to block them for a longer duration than 31 hours (previous block was for 2 weeks)? The previous block was probably set for a longer duration because the same user had clearly been disruptively using that IP address for more than a month before they first blocked it.

Similarly, your block on 188.33.84.184 was for 72 hours when the previous block was for 2 weeks. I can't speak for Materialscientist, but I'm guessing that they decided to go with a longer duration initially because the same page that the IP has commonly edited was semi-protected earlier by another admin (log: ) before the first IP block was initially applied, so they were likely warned on another IP for similar edits in the past. 2601:1C0:1:B78C:299D:6738:9545:43A1 (talk) 18:52, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Good catches. With the backlog at AIV, I was going rather quickly. I'll update those blocks. Cheers  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Question.
Are this insults allowed or normal thing in Wikipedia? Here. Sent a report to the 3RR regarding this, dont know if the other editor could be warned.Mr.User200 (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No, absolutely not allowed. I've issued a "only warning" to that user for their comments. There is some leeway with new users (or new accounts since I cannot really be sure if they user is new). is also talking with that user. Hopefully they will learn and improve, but if they do not they will likely be blocked.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 17:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It is posible to protect the Article at least, or my User/Talk page.Mr.User200 (talk) 17:56, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I did protect the article. If the comments/abuse continues I can protect your talk page too (temporarily). Hopefully this will be resolved.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 18:09, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I really dont want to experience another wave of insults like the last ones, could you protect my talk page for 48 hours.Mr.User200 (talk) 18:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Let me get a "second opinion" if you don't mind. ? Is this something that is done upon request?  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 18:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Best case is that the offending user straightens up and flies right, so no action is needed. Since it's only one user, I don't think talk page protection is warranted. The next step would be a partial- or site-block of the offending user. —C.Fred (talk) 18:19, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @Mr.User200: I have redacted the personal attacks from your talk page. If there is another occurrence, please let me or EvergreenFir know. I'll certainly be glad to address it.

acid attack
Why is the neutrality disputed banner on the acid attack displayed when the article appears perfectly sourced? is it purely b/c of several so-called men's rights activists in the talk page who are upset an article about what is globally, as a whole, a gender-based act of violence isn't all about men? --73.31.14.14 (talk) 04:58, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Khusro khan (Hamir Rabari)
The original name of khusro khan is Hamir Rabari.how can Wikipedia change it as a nassiruddin??? Hamir Rabari was h hindu from somnath veraval .Gujarati vishvkosh and saurashtra no itihas also agree with it. And tarikh e farishta book, tarikhe e firozshahi also agree with that khusro khan's origin place is Gujarat particular kathiyavar (somnath) and khusro khan was captured during somnath aattck by khilji empire. Him original name was Hamir Rabari after Muslim convoratation him name was Hamir to Hasan. And khilji attack on somnath that is true.

Offensive revision
Hello, I just reverted an edit containing a racial slur targeting the subject of the article. I have given the user a level four warning (even though they had no prior warnings). However, I felt that it would probably be worth asking an administrator to delete the revision, as it is extremely offensive. I saw you were in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests and was wondering if it would be possible for you to delete the revision to Kimberly Gardner that I reverted (I think it could be deleted under the category "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material" on Revision deletion). I'm not providing the link to the revision to prevent it from gaining more publicity, but it's recent in the edit history. I've never requested this before so hopefully I'm doing it right. Thanks! -- Galaxy Dog talk • contribs 22:27, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello ,

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference. In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
 * Your help can make a difference
 * Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
 * Discussions and Resources
 * A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
 * Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
 * A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
 * Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Wondering why you deleted from Jacob article. The article is all about the Jacob Blake protests. Lightburst (talk) 02:15, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

What to do with multiple Single-purpose accounts appearing on a talk page?
Hello EvergreenFir. Several months ago, you helped me with the removal of badly-placed single-purpose account tags during a talk-page discussion on Xi Jinping, which then led you to put the kibosh on someone. Well, I believe that I actually have encountered a bunch of single-purpose accounts, which I have pointed out at the bottom of Talk:Ayurveda here. I'm wondering what, if anything, should be done about this.

I'm coming to you because you're disinterested in the subject as far as I can tell, and because you seem to know what to do in these situations. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I basically just want knowledgeable people such as yourself to be aware of this developing situation because, frankly, I find dealing with this whole pseudoscience stuff to be tedious and boring. BirdValiant (talk) 05:17, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * As an update, Ayurveda now has extended confirmed protection and Talk:Ayurveda now has autoconfirmed protection for 48 hours. Discussion on the stream of SPIs is occurring on the Administrator's noticeboard Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. So, I guess that there's not much else to be done for the moment. BirdValiant (talk) 15:42, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry I wasn't able to help immediately. I will check out the ANI post. Hope things have been handled.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 17:23, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No worries. By the time I woke up the following morning, I saw that the page protections had gone up and that all hands were on deck. So I didn't feel the need to badger you about it. It'd probably be good to keep an eye on it, though, since there is some Twitter canvassing going on. BirdValiant (talk) 01:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Message to Createangelos "Your exit summary about the vehicle was fine until your thought it appropriate to suggest he was committing a crime"
Subtle point. I'm trying to remember what my exit summary even said. Both references (witness and police union statement) said the same thing about getting into a vehicle. For some reason I appended the full quote from Police Union to my exit summary; I do see that we have no idea where it comes from or who said it. In that sense it does amount to speculation about a criminal act. Anyway, I don't know if my change "his vehicle" -> "a vehicle" was reverted or not. The word "his" occurs elsewhere in the article, I think I was testing the waters for more experienced editors to think about it. Anyway given that you know how to change an exit summary you probably understand more about Wikipedia than I do, so I'm not complaining. By the way, I'm curious about the witness statements that describe him arriving in the same vehicle. On another issue, I'm pretty sure that any police charges about sexual assault and theft misunderstand the reln'ship of Blake and one of his partners. If he'd stolen a bank card in the past and withdrawn 500 dollars twice, who had given him the PIN number. And how is it assault to accuse a woman of being unfaithful and leave. In that sense the ownership of the car could be indeterminate, bought by one of Mr. Blake's partners but without full permission to use it unless he agrees to bring the kids along etc etc. In other words, even with all the evidence in the sources there is no credible assertion of criminal conduct. Createangelos (talk) 00:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know if my change "his vehicle" -> "a vehicle" was reverted or not.. I reverted it along with a cite to a poor secondary source for this, (The National Review) quoting a poor primary source (the police union) that claimed that it was undisputed that the vehicle was not his and several other “facts” that are in dispute. When has a police union not supported police? And your edit summary did suggest a crime. Please be careful in a WP:BLP. O3000 (talk) 00:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I just brought this to three noticeboards, requesting a rangeblock, page protection and possibly rev/deletion as far back as necessary. Any or all of the above. Cheers, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:53, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey, since you deleted and salted Draft:Jayasurya Mailsamy (blogger), would you be willing to salt Draft:Jayasurya Mayilsamy (blogger) as well?

Edit the White People article to include my information
Please take a look at the talk page for the White People article and include the information from the court cases/the Census bureau regarding South Asians into the article. I am the same user that updated the Talk page, my provider changed my IP address recently.

The information to be added is under "We need to update the article to reflect the fact that South Asians were also classified as "White" by the US Census, until 1977, when Indian-Americans petitioned to have this changed to "Asian" in order to receive minority benefits stemming from low-interest SBA Loans."

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:142:101:20C0:D1EB:83C5:E3A1:DA03 (talk) 05:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Drive by late response
In response to this, I don't align with any particular POV, especially political or religious. I can't even remember the first time I voted in a general election - hell, not just general but in any election beyond who has to take out the trash tonight. I'm pretty sure I cast my first vote for Bill Clinton, and I vaguely remember being a fan of JFK but only because I just loved John-John - I was much too young to have such a memory. I am a citizen of the US but I am also a permanent resident of Bonaire, a Dutch special municipality, and I live/have lived under different systems of government. I have been criticized for being a pragmatist, which some have associated with being cold-hearted. I don't see myself as cold-hearted but more as a realist, and I've just come to terms with that reality in the last few minutes. And that is why I was inspired to come here and share that realization with you. It's bizarre. Atsme Talk 📧 17:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi EvergreenFir, could you please remove revisions 978854539 and 979042734 for the page Nawal El Saadawi? There was no source added mentioning these names and if the people concerned are okay with publishing the names. Thanks in advance, Laurier (talk) 12:50, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Stefan Molyneux
I think your reference to "revilement and reverence" is off-base. You say "He is polarising to the point of revilement and reverence." Who is expressing "reverence"? I do not think I have expressed "reverence". It is reliably sourced that Molyneux says "I have always opposed the idea of racial superiority/inferiority." This is a question of what should be in an article and what should not be in an article. If you are saying I'm expressing "reverence" that would not only be gratuitous but irrelevant to the topic of discussion. It is not my concern whether Molyneux is or isn't a racist. If we are going to have an article on a person we should include various facets of the person. "Revilement and reverence" would be extraneous considerations. Bus stop (talk) 16:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That statement was not directed at anyone in particular. He, like other polarizing figures such as Jordan Peterson or Shaun King, have devoted followers and sworn opponents. I apologize if you took exception to that sentence, but I did not mean it in reference to anyone specific.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 05:08, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
