Talk User page formatting
Could someone fix the formatting of my talk User page as the sections look misplaced to me. RhinosF1 (talk) 21:41, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. If you could be more specific about what looks wrong, maybe someone could be of more help.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 21:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Fixed with live help at about same time RhinosF1 (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Or did you mean your user page? You could add a clear directive just before any section header that seems to be jammed up against earlier content.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 21:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * ✔️ by User:Enterprisey. RhinosF1 (talk) 21:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Fair Galaxy Trouts
== Trouted ==

You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE Fair Galaxy (talk) 18:39, 18 January 2019 (UTC) Lifting gossip from tabloids is unnecessary.
 * I'm looking into getting another opinion on the content. RhinosF1 (talk) 18:42, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * ❌ - Another user has determined the content should remain. RhinosF1 (talk) 18:48, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Trouted
You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE Fair Galaxy (talk) 18:57, 18 January 2019 (UTC) This is me you're writing about on said Wikipedia page - I'm fed up with gossipy information being put up on the Wikipedia page which pertains to myself and family. It is unnecessary to churn out generalised gossip you've rehashed from tabloids. I should be allowed to edit and reduce the information on Wikipedia page which is about me without having to get into a removal and subsequent reinstatement war.
 * If you are involved then you have a WP:COI and need to use   on the article talk page to request changes. I understand your concerns and am happy to see what measures can be applied to address your concerns. If you join the #wikipedia-en IRC channel you'll be able to get live Assistance. Thanks, RhinosF1 (talk) 19:05, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Removed and collapsed as user was edit warring and has been dealt with. RhinosF1 (talk) 21:56, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits
Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:00, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I do normally if I have to report and I understand your concern. I normally just pass them on to an admin on IRC who in most cases will block edits or not but recently less admins have been around. 06:35, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Jean Wyllys
Hi there! Since you’re a third party involved in this, could you please give your opinion? Am I disrupting WP in any way? I spent a good amount of time making these productive changes, improving wording and trying to make it more npov. Please check my changes, it’s not a big thing but a better version for the readers: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jean_Wyllys&diff=880266643&oldid=880265814 it’s my first time here but it seems you guys don’t want newcomers. --Damonshady (talk) 12:36, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have asked an administrator to look in to the edit war at this noticeboard but I'll have a look in detail myself now. RhinosF1 (talk) 12:38, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd rather an editor with more knowledge on the subject looked into it, a more experienced editor will be along shortly. RhinosF1 (talk) 12:47, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
