User talk:Lee Vilenski/Archives/2022/March

I noticed you removed a tournament listing notability?
Hi you removed an article citing notability but that means nothing because not every single event ever played had its own article, as long as it has a source so what is the problem?.By the way their are millions of events without any source at all. So why was this labeled?. 92.251.200.171 (talk) 22:25, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Lee you say we only include notable wins. Is a notable win determined by opinion ?. Going back to the 70's, 80's and 90's Steve Davis and many others won 4 man events with little prize money. Players actually won titles under a challenge system of one match. Are these all notable wins to you ?. maybe not to you but even these small invitations are included on Wikipedia some with and without sources. you cannot pigeon hole events like that imo. 178.167.199.22 (talk) 10:04, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Please follow WP:BRD on the talk page of the article. We don't include every tournament ever held, only professional and major amateur events. I also did not need 8 notifications regarding this. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

8 notifications well answer the first one then ok ?.We hold any title that has a source and some without. You do not decide how Wikipedia is ran. Oh dear it is not your site. It is for the people. It was here long before you and it will be here after you pal. 178.167.199.22 (talk) 12:52, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

You delete snooker events and add exhibition events in golf, it really is unbelievable. That event was sanctioned by the PGA and Sky Sports as joint partners. Sky clearly announced it as an exhibition and I have evidence to prove it and I want to post it. this is just ridiculous. People add all sorts of rubbish in golf par 3 events and nonsense but you delete everything in snooker. 178.167.199.22 (talk) 14:25, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia follows consensus. It's very clear that you do not have consensus for your changes. You will need to gain some before making these changes. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 28
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pankaj Advani (billiards player), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IBSF.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Can you explain
If that content was added by anyone else would it have been removed ?. No chance. Are you just going to keep trying to block me ?. At least you could reply like a man 77.75.244.10 (talk) 18:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
 * As a blocked user, you cannot simply edit logged out, nor under a different username. You must request an unblock on your original account. I will block this IP, and you should request the unblock there. I will WP:DENY and block any further IP block evasions. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:09, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Lee I'm sorry I don't understand where do I try to unblock on my account is it ?. I haven't a clue about this jargon. What reason do I give in asking for an appeal to lift the block ?. Can you give me some idea because I haven't a clue how this works. Will the appeal be successful ?. I won't message again on here but I want to understand how it works before I attempt it ok. Thanks 77.75.244.3 (talk) 19:53, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Where do I go to unblock ?
Hi Lee. You said last night if you blocked an IP I could do it there, but it also says you have to go to your original account. Can you just explain to me where I go to lodge the appeal ?. I want to do it now this morning to make a start. Regards 77.75.244.16 (talk) 11:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I just want to get it over. Will I go to my original account and use the talk page ? Thanks 77.75.244.16 (talk) 11:23, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * You will need to desist in IP hopping, and login to your original account User:DooksFoley147 and request an unblock. You as a person are blocked and will need to gain an unblock before your editing privileges are returned. You cannot simply keep changing IP addresses. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:26, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I know that the only reason I am doing it is because you keep blocking me and I do not know the process. I am not trying to annoy or dodge I just wanted an answer ok. Lee I went to login to DooksFoley147 account but I cannot remember the password it says incorrect when I enter it. How will I procede can I change it to continue ?. Regards 77.75.244.16 (talk) 11:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Lee I said I forgot my password they emailed me a temporary 10 pin code to enter and they said it would last up to 7 days, but when I try to log in using the temporary code it says please enter the correct password. Why is that happening to me ?. I just want to log in 77.75.244.16 (talk) 11:56, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I got in and I put in my block request
Lee how long does the appeal process usually last when will I know the outcome ? Regards 31.200.131.38 (talk) 12:30, 1 March 2022 (UTC)


 * IP, you are not blocked as of now. Severe  storm  28  12:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * - this is regarding DooksFoley147 above. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:04, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I see now. Severe  storm  28  20:47, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I am sure you know my block was rejected. They said 6 months without any edits from any IP which I don't mind. But there is no guarantee that I will be allowed to edit then is there Lee ?. What would I have to do ? 31.200.128.222 (talk) 14:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The standing offer is that if you can not sock (which is what you are doing now) for six months, then editing rights may be returned. If you are unable to do this then I cannot help you. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:27, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I promise Lee I won't sock anymore. I just want to ask one question. You said editing rights may be returned so that means there is a chance they will not. What would I do then ?. Do people usually get them editing rights back ?. If you can help me out on this I won't bother you again. ok Thanks 31.200.128.222 (talk) 14:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm far too WP:INVOLVED to be able to review your unblock request. I think if you can show that you are capable of not controvening the rules in six months, it would be highly unlikely you wouldn't get an unblock. Even if it did; you'd then be told what you'd need to do. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:38, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Lee thanks very much I respect that you took the time out to explain that to me even though I am banned. I also want to say there was never any personal feeling of Ill will I am just very passionate about what I try to do on Wikipedia as you are yourself. I will not take up anymore of your time. Thanks for explaining. I hope to be back in six months. take care stay safe. Regards 31.200.128.222 (talk) 14:49, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
 * 🇨🇽 AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
 * Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
 * GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
 * 🇺🇳 Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
 * Flag of Provo, Utah (1989–2015).svg SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
 * 🇺🇳 Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question from Bradja11 (20:55, 26 March 2022)
Hello, I wish to edit a page and act as a primary source. Will I need to supply documentation along with any statements I make, or can I make a change to a page that is labelled "citation needed" with current information without supplying documents. I wish to avoid uploading documents as I believe they may be restricted under a company NDA. --Bradja11 (talk) 20:55, 26 March 2022 (UTC)


 * While you may know the information you upload is correct, other editors won't, and it would be completely reasonable for them to delete inflammatory comments which have a 'citation needed' tag attached.
 * I also wouldn't recommend breaking your NDA for a Wikipedia article, of all things... If you're that desperate, I'd look into whistleblowing with a newspaper.
 * (Even if it isn't under NDA... is it worth getting fired over?!) Mooshua1857 (talk) 23:29, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * More to the point, we don't allow original research here. You knowing something is true, or even having personal documents to show this, is irrelevant. We summarise what reliable, secondary sources say about a subject. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:12, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Requesting pre-emptive no fault self-block
I am requesting a admin to voluntary self-block for one week on the English WikiPedia. Since I believe I have accused of subversion by admin and due to RL pressures at this time I am likely to blow and do something stupid which is not good, per previous block by. I have some image/licensing stuff I need to proceed with on commons and I promise not to do a picture injection on April 1st or anything, (which still hasn't cleared from Ja:Luas). I must apologise to, which I thought the AfC route for return of Monisha Shah was likely to be less dramatic but a procedural XfD at a poor RL point for myself with an ex UK WikiMedia Chair making the first !vote meant a specifically time chosen DRV might have been less dramatic. Requesting block as I've going to blow it seriously otherwise .... I'll simply start calling people names until I get blocked. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:03, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I wouldnt fulfill a selfblock . Perhaps if you messaged someone from Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to consider placing self-requested blocks. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:21, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

 * - sorry, I don't want to tread on your toes here, but since I was pinged above, can you point me at the context here? Girth Summit  (blether)  20:39, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I find it awkward to have this conversation on Lee's talk where User:Djm-leighpark can not reply if they see something. However, since they chose to ask here, I'll answer this reasonable query here. I can't speak for Djm-leighpark's motivations, but blanking this page told me they were serious about needing a time-out. The context for this escapes me outside what they wrote to commence this thread. BusterD (talk) 21:30, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
