Nagendra?
Hi P, any chance you could do your semi-weekly check for Nagendra socks? I see a new user, Starcinema111 popped up at Pooja Gandhi, which is almost exclusively edited by Nagendra NJ socks. Intersection also at Rakshita and Kriti Kharbanda. If possible, thanks! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yup, it's them. I've upped the protection of Pooja Ghandi to extended-confirmed based on the rampant BLP socking. Not sure if it will stick, but it's better than full protection.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * PS I can't run regular checks, the are just too many large ranges at play. We just need to nip them in the bud as soon as detected.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:16, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

IP:81.145.108.28
Hello Ponyo, Regret to inform you that our NI block evader is again trying to get around their multiple bans by asking inane questions - after previously stating they would not "edit" Wikipedia again. They have now used well over thirty IP's in the Northern Ireland area of the UK and seem not to worry about the disruption they cause. Hope you will be able to take action - yet again.

Criteria used to delete articles created by Neebras?
I noticed you deleted many articles that were created by Neebras because he was a banned sockpuppet. Some were notable but you deleted them anyway. Now that's fine and dandy with me, but other articles and categories he created were not deleted. I just wondered what criteria you used to decide? Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:26, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * It was a time management issue; due to the vast number of pages created I concentrated on the main articles and left the categories and templates for now as they require additional clean-up and review. They can be individually tagged as CSD G5 if need be. I reviewed the history of each article and only deleted those that didn't have substantial edits from editors other than the sock account. A large amount of the articles had already been tagged for some sort of deletion, whether it be speedy, PROD or AfD. If there is any specific article(s) out of the bunch you'd like additional information on I'm happy to take a look and expand on my reasoning. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Article for deletion: Kalpvriksh The Wishing Tree (2016), Manika Sharma and Raajaysh Chetwal.

 * Speedy Delete :* IMDB and Twitter database entries don't establish notability. Notability is not inherited by being related to notable people or working alongside notable people. I'm not seeing non-trivial reliable source coverage for Article (Old name: Kalpvriksh and now new name: The Wishing Tree (2016), Manika Sharma and Raajaysh Chetwal. The best hope for notability appears to be WP:CREATIVE. What reliable sources have commented on this award-winning filmmaker's work and film? To be noted same articles deleted in the past also.AdolfDsouza (talk) 14:56, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why this was brought to my attention, however I did redirect the Sharma and Chetwal articles to The Wishing Tree (2016) page as they don't currently meet our notability criteria (and there were numerous BLP issues with both articles). You'll just have to wait to see how the AfD plays out.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:25, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

re: John Kassir
Can you ease up on this sort of thing and discuss before you vaporize? That other user is losing their mind over this, I assume you know that this isn't a big deal, and your edit summaries range from unhelpful to incoherent. "...no reliable non-compendia sources meeting WP:RS have been provided." That is, if I'm reading it right, not supported by facts on hand. (And I might not be reading it right, since, to be brutally honest, words like "non-compendia" are particularly unhelpful bits of jargon.) How do we know that the prose at TCM is a compendium? If I sourced it to Hollywood.com, which I'm almost positive is not a compiler and instead is a purveyor of original expertise and research, do I have any sort of guarantee that, per WP:AVOIDEDITWAR, you'll discuss this stuff before reverting again? RunnyAmiga (talk) 17:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I find it interesting that one editor uses the edit summary "EVERY SINGLE OTHER SOURCE lists him as being born on this day. There's NO dispute. Just like other Wikipedians who are advanced and have a lot of edits, you feel the need to erase stuff like that out of boredom.", while I leave one pointing to the two policy pages explaining the removal, yet it's my edit summary that you deem unhelpful. I have no intention of leaving a disputed poorly-sourced date of birth in a BLP because another editor fails to grasp what constitutes a reliable source or why we require one in cases such as this.


 * The TCM content is simply a database of machine-imported content, it does not include the editorial oversight ("a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy") required. Hollywood.com is also a tertiary source database and cannot be used to support disputed BLP content. Their own Terms of Use explicitly state "You understand that you will be exposed to user material from a variety of publishers and that Hollywood.com is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such user material. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to user material that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable..". I have no intention of not enforcing our core policies in this case; if no source meeting our requirements are available, then the date stays out. I've searched extensively for a reliable source myself using LexusNexus and other newspaper access sites and have been unable to verify the date, hence WP:DOB and WP:BLPSOURCES applies. I've already noted this on the article talk page. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:14, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * "I find it interesting that one editor uses the edit summary 'EVERY SINGLE OTHER SOURCE lists him as being born on this day. There's NO dispute. Just like other Wikipedians who are advanced and have a lot of edits, you feel the need to erase stuff like that out of boredom.', while I leave one pointing to the two policy pages explaining the removal, yet it's my edit summary that you deem unhelpful." For what it's worth, I planned on scolding over that junk edit summary, but when I found TCM, I figured I shouldn't bother. And a quick look at that editor's user page should give away dead-to-rights why you're going to be held to a different standard. But maybe I'm not being fair. Am I wrong to assume an admin ought to know why coherent edit summaries are important? Am I wrong to be annoyed that when I raise an objection to something, rather than explain why I'm right or wrong, you essentially said, "but look at that edit summary. It's way worse?"
 * "I have no intention of leaving a disputed poorly-sourced date of birth in a BLP because another editor fails to grasp what constitutes a reliable source or why we require one in cases such as this." It's disputed? Where? Especially since, per the allowance that says "sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object" can be used, we can include it? Because we know Kassir is quite alright that people think he was born on October 24th, 1957. You, uh, know that about him, right?
 * "The TCM content is simply a database of machine-imported content, it does not include the editorial oversight ("a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy") required." I asked how you came to this conclusion ("How do we know that the prose at TCM is a compendium?") and instead, you restated what you originally said. I promise, I read this claim the first time you made it. I was wondering how you know it.
 * As for using Hollywood.com as a source, see their "About Us" page, specifically the second-to-last sentence: "In addition, we have the most robust entertainment data available. Hollywood.com’s data is powered by Baseline, the leading provider in verified entertainment data used by almost every major studio, broadcast and cable TV network." Since your find at the terms of service page and my find at this page (seem to) directly contradict each other, is there a policy that says which we go with? RunnyAmiga (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * To your first point, I didn't just point to the other editor's edit summary, I also commented on my own, which included two links to the policy-based reasons I was removing the disputed date. You don't like my summary and find it "incoherent". I see no problem with it at all and don't see any need to discuss it further.
 * To your second point, a date of 1962 has also been added to the article example here and here. Neither date is supported by reliable sources so I removed the conflicting dates with an explanation (here). At no point since that time has a reliable source ever been presented to verify either date.
 * Also to your second point, you've misinterpreted "sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object". The point of the clause is that if the information appears in a self-published source or similar directly linked to the subject (e.g. an official website or campaign), then the source can be used. Random online databases are not "linked to the subject" in any way. If you're inferring that because the information appears on websites such as IMDb that the subject therefore "approves", that's not the intent of that sentence.
 * To your third point, I know that the TCM is a compendium in that it is an online database akin to IMDb and NNDb. (Compendium: "a collection of concise but detailed information about a particular subject, especially in a book or other publication." "a collection of things, especially one systematically gathered".) I know this because I check references when they are added to ensure they meet WP:RS and noted this was another tertiary source, equally as unreliable as the others.
 * As to your final point, The "About Us" section is a website's marketing page that includes plenty of verbiage regarding why they are so awesome and why you should use their product. The Terms of Use is the legalese that covers their asses when it comes to the content/product they produce. In this case they spell out clearly that they pull data from a number of resources of varying levels of reliability and that they do not vouch for the accuracy of any of their content. That is the opposite of what is required by WP:BLPSOURCES.
 * Bottom line, if a reliable source can be found that verifies a specific date (or year) of birth for Kassir then it can be added to the article. Until then, it stays out as disputed BLP content. If you have a source you think may meet WP:RS but are unsure, float it by WP:RSN. I have absolutely zero to add to this conversation at this point and don't plan to participate further other than to cross-post this to the article talk page where it should have taken place from the get-go. WP:BLPN is also available if you wish to discuss this with other editors knowledgeable about BLP policy.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:14, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Possible to recreate category?
Dear Ponyo, would it be possible if you could recreate Category:Kelabit people? I looked at the deletion log and it said you deleted it because it was empty at the time. That may have been true but now there are three articles linked to it. If it is not possible to recreate the category or you're too busy just let me know and I will do it myself. Thanks!

Question
Why are you removing the American people of Russian descent category from select pages? The category has not been CFDed and, is, in fact, the redirect for another category, that of Russian Americans? Enjoy the strawberries. Yours, Quis separabit?  23:43, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you mean this as an example?. The categories were all added by a blocked LTA sock account who adds ethnic and descent categories en masse regardless of whether the categories meet WP:EGRS and/or WP:BLPCAT (which I noted in my edit summary) and the edits were removed per WP:BANREVERT (which I should have noted in my edit summary). If there are any that were reverted that meet the requirements of EGRS/BLPCAT and WP:CATDEF, then please go ahead and restore them.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 15:46, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations/Rajesh-barclays
Hi P, do you have any thoughts on Sockpuppet investigations/Rajesh-barclays that you might contribute? I don't know that a CU would go anywhere, because the last info we have on the suspected master seems pretty stale. (Also, I think the real REAL master is Wanurikahiu, but that seems even more fruitless.) Do you think there's enough similarity to warrant a behavioral block?

Chirag (talk) 16:53, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If he has yet to appear in a single film, how does he meet the notability criteria for actors? Up to this point the press about him has all been in relation to his family connections and an unreleased film. Regardless, there is nothing stopping you from creating the article, it's semi-protected due to persistent socking only. You should be able to edit the page with no issues.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:06, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the temp lock down on my talk page, I've been the target of the same IP range for weeks. Thanks again. Chris "WarMachineWildThing"  Talk to me 22:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Page 1
Hi Ponyo, can you look into the user Page 1? I keep looking at edits he's made like this one and this one and seeing that you were the last person to revert a similar edit. I first saw him at Radioland Murders which has a lot of problematic editing in its past. I suspect this is someone on your list. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:16, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I also saw several dubious edits by this user, mostly already reverted. Most of them on subject matter I know nothing about, so can't be much help, as they are generally not obvious vandalism. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:13, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Parwaaz Hay Junoon
I had removed content that I thought was promotional in nature. This is my edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parwaaz_Hay_Junoon&oldid=738760661

However, another user has added content that I think is promotional. This is his edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parwaaz_Hay_Junoon&type=revision&diff=738845601&oldid=738760661. I have explained my thought process on my talk page User_talk:Manoflogan. What do you think? I definitely think that the content added by "Nauriya" violates WP:PROMO, but I don't want to get into edit wars. I believe that the onus is the editor to prove that the content is objective, and not subjective according to WP:BURDEN. What do you think? Manoflogan (talk) 06:00, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * As there are no immediate BLP violations, nor is their blatant spam involved, you will need to continue discussing your concerns with the editor in question (preferably on the article talk page) until consensus is reached regarding the proposed content. As always, make sure to follow these important steps to help resolve the conflict.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:44, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Help with moving a page
I can't seem to move the page Mount Tate which should really be at Mount Tateyama. The latter being the official name, and what everyone locally (locals and non-Japanese) call the mountain. There is a page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_moves, but to be honest that page is confusing. Is it a list of pages that are under discussion or a place where you can make a request? Many thanks. Macgroover (talk) 09:12, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure it should be moved. Per WP:COMMONNAME, we should use the most commonly used name for the article title. In this case, it appears "Mount Tate" is used in reliable sources such as The BBC and The Japan Times (though interestingly The Japan Times also used Mount Tateyama). Perhaps you can start a Requested move discussion on the article talk page? The process for starting a discussion can be found at WP:RM.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:57, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. The official local English name is Mt. Tateyama though, and the BBC (and possibly the Japan times too) is likely using Mt. Tate because it's in Wikipedia! The Japan National Tourist Organization uses Mt. Tateyama. http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/ttp/ptg/PS/pg-402.pdf Macgroover (talk) 01:40, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * As there is the possibility that the move could be contentious, it's best to start a requested move discussion on the article talk page to gauge consensus. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Thank you; searching through that IP's contributions, this and this might be better off hidden as well. Perhaps a block would be in order, though the disruption seems to be sporadic and rather infrequent. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints&#124;Mistakes) 21:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The IP is definitely being used for long-term disruption. I've blocked anonymous editing from the IP for six months, but left account creation open so that any potential legitimate editors can still create an account.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:40, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Deletation of the page "Akhilendu Arjeria"
Hi Ponyo, Could you please explain why that person was not considered important? That person is the former district magistrate of a district, not only district magistrate but even a commissioner of the whole division(which is considered as a very high rank in India). He served Indian army too. He's a famous poet on social media, his poems are read by several thousand people. His fan following on social media is very high. Please look into this matter and resolve this. Warm regards, Adam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamdanial (talk • contribs) 01:18, 14 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I have replied on Adamdanial's talk page and suggested they create a Draft if they wish to take the risk that it might not be accepted. MPS1992 (talk) 18:31, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that was very helpful.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:11, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious
about the block you performed here. I'm the greenest admin as of my writing this, but I was under the impression that IPs are rarely blocked for extended periods unless they're known to belong to a school, or something: so I was wondering what your reasoning was. What is it I'm not seeing? Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 10:10, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Vanamonde, we block "people". If you look at the editing history it's clear the same person has been using that IP for a lengthy period of time. We can then be confident the IP is fairly static and won't be assigned to another person in the near future. Thus, an extended block can be made. --Neil N  talk to me 10:32, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I see, that makes sense. Thank you. Vanamonde (talk) 11:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Precisely what NeilN said (as usual).-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:12, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Disruptive editing
Dear Ponyo, I think User:MayGh should be blocked for their disruptive editing (deliberately introducing incorrect information, etc.). I gave them a final warning, but it seems they have no intention to stop. Can you take a look? Thank you. Mona778 (talk) 23:04, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Instead of always asking Ponyo for users to be blocked,why don't you report them to WP:AIV instead? They can be dealt with much quicker. They don't bite! Class455 (talk) 23:52, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

The issue has been sorted. No block is required. Regards, Mona778 (talk) 02:42, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of page Draft:Emergency Volunteer Respect Act (Queensland, Australia)
Hi Ponyo This page was deleted very quickly after being flagged for containing copyrighted material. The section in question was very brief (forming a very small portion of the overall article) and was my own text lifted from an article on the website for the company I work with. I understand that breaches Wikipedia's copyright rules (though I find it very odd), but thought I would get a day or so to modify the 4 or lines of text before the whole thing got deleted. Will need to start from scratch now, so a little disappointed. What is the usual time-frame for a page being flagged to it being deleted? Tranceport26 (talk) 02:43, 15 September 2016 (UTC) Can the deletion be undone if the wording of the offending section is changed / removed? Tranceport26 (talk) 14:58, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It's much more than just 4 lines. There are many parts of the website and draft that are identical, and much of the rest is close paraphrasing. At bottom, the draft is a copy of the website. In other words, the association is using Wikipedia as an advertising platform. I can't speak for Ponyo, but I would never restore the draft. There is no "usual" time frame between tagging and deletion. Copyright infringements are often deleted more quickly, though.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:36, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Param Singh


Hello. A tag has been placed on Param Singh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:57, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 * UA is user agent. Understood. And yes, MariaJaydHicky2 says she's unrelated to the others. Don't worry about reading User talk:MariaJaydHicky2. That is not necessary. So, the chance of MariaJaydHicky2 (who states that she is the master MariaJaydHicky) and NDublet, Daisymaymoo, Babystar1, Allstarz, or Nikeygirl all being the same person is certain? 100%?

Murder of Samia Shahid
Hi Ponyo. Could you please undelete Murder of Samia Shahid? I understand that ban/block evasion was involved, but there is also an ongoing community discussion at Articles for deletion/Samia Shahid (2nd nomination) involving the article, and that should take priority. In fact, the topic of the now-deleted article seems to be more notable than that of the existing Samia Shahid article. I know that we want to dissuade the editor from further evading the block (it seems that they are still doing so), but given the ongoing community discussion and that there was nothing wrong specifically with the content of the article, I think this one should be kept. It looks like the AfD is headed towards a "merge" result anyway, so we may see substantial contributions beyond than the blocked editor. Mz7 (talk) 22:19, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the note ; the article has been undeleted. Please be aware there is very likely paid editing involved with these articles, so a review of the phrasing and sourcing would be appreciated if it will be kept.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
