Many thanks
I appreciate the assist with salvaging that content: I had a full head of steam on this one and so I'm glad to have it back so quickly--thank you! :) Snow let's rap 13:53, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

question
Hi salvio! Hope you are doing well? Do you have any off wiki contact methods? interested in chatting with you. :) Naleksuh (talk) 06:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey, Salvio giuliano! I've been working with this editor at their user talk, and I think they might be able to turn themselves around. I'm thinking maybe give them a chance to fix the article Steeles, Toronto, with their agreement that they will until further notice edit only that article and its talk, Teahouse, and their own userspace. That might give them a way to learn what's expected here without being disruptive to anyone else. Would you object to unblocking? —valereee (talk) 18:31, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't object. I have followed your mentoring from a distance and would be in favour of giving him a second chance. I must say you do have the patience of Job. Salvio 18:57, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Lol. I sometimes wonder if I'm just feeding trolls, but this editor is reacting to mentoring like a border collie. (I see you're in Italy; in the US that's shorthand for 'will invent a job for themselves unless given one'.) —valereee (talk) 19:12, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * HA!  Salvio 19:33, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi user Sheba Aisha is again harrassing me
Linked to my talk page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/973282572 Heba Aisha (talk) 11:01, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, you can't. We can only block the new socks as they appear. On that note, I have blocked that account. Salvio 11:07, 16 August 2020 (UTC)


 * In future if someone does the same......can i contact u here on ur talk page as i think he will do it again and againHeba Aisha (talk) 11:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

unblock request
Hey, Salvio! Should I have marked something as answered with that unblock at Friend505? It was my first time unblocking anyone. —valereee (talk) 00:07, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * using the unblock template on a page puts it into Category:Requests for unblock. Unless I'm mistaken, until the request is marked as reviewed (or otherwise deactivated), the page continues to show up in CAT:UNB. So it's not really necessary to make an official note or something like that, but the template should be "turned off". Salvio 09:04, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Joe El
Greetings! Sir.

I noticed you deleted a page I created named "Joe El", and don't think the action was just. I am very sad I must confess because of this.

The "deletion" tag was put immediately after I created the page, but had to struggle to update the page putting in much citations to it and didn't remove the tag because it says the tag should be left, but to no avail. Where have I gone wrong? Camy (talk) 19:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * the article was deleted because, after a weeklong discussion, it was concluded that Joe El is not notable enough to qualify for inclusion, in that he hasn't received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. Now, removing the "deletion" tag would not have changed anything, because the discussion was taking place at AfD. If you insist, I can reopen the discussion, which will run for another week, but I expect that the article will be deleted regardless of how long the AfD is kept open. Salvio 20:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Goodness! Sir, I would appreciate if you can help me reopen it. I will do my best to update it before the the week will elapse. Thanks! Camy (talk) 22:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have reopened the AfD and restored the article. Salvio 22:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate, sir. God bless! Camy (talk) 22:18, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * (watching, actually it was the thread below, and this made me curious:) Camy, I took one quick look at the article, and reading in the lead "and on each occasion, astonished the crowd with a free styling rap accapella" tells me that the style is not encyclopedic. I have little time, so won't read further, but if you want it to survive, write much more concise prose, such as dropping that clause altogether, or mention the style if you have a source, and remove from the "references" everything that is not independent (videos, blogs, announcements ...). Are there reviews in serious media? That's the key question. Is there a project for his kind of music? I come from Classical music, so wouldn't be much help. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I indeed am grateful by your candid suggestions. I really want the page to survive and would do the much I can using these suggestions. I really don't know if there is a project for the "Afrobeats" genre. I just began devoting more of my time to Wiki and still discovering a lot of stuff I should have known before now.

 * No need to be sorry, not even to ping someone on is or her "own" talk, that much is done by the system ;) - thank you for getting the article in shape! - I just earned an article rescue barnstar (see my talk) but am completely unfamiliar with this topic. I'll watch, though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 17 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Lol. Thanks and congrats for the barnstar! Camy (talk) 14:05, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I gave you some advice on the article talk. Will look again later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:09, 17 August 2020 (UTC)


 * True. I did take off some of the references and I am in the process of editing still. I don't know if I am now on track though. Camy (talk) 14:13, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Controversial changes
Hello, you said that I should discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. Why do you think my revision is controversial? Did you read my comment at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring before making your decision? I literally just replaced a lead image with nudity for another lead image without nudity where both images bring exactly the same message to the reader. I'm following MOS:LEADIMAGE rules.

Can another user revert my revision without any discussion, even if he is not respecting MOS:LEADIMAGE? What should I do if he reverts that revision again? I just created a new section in the discussion page of those articles by the way. Thank you for your attention. gabibb2  ✉  04:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I read your comment over at ANEW; however, it appears that you are involved in a content dispute and are expected to resolve disagreements through WP:DR rather than through edit wars. Thinking you're right – even being right – is not an exception to edit warring. Simply put, you were engaged in an edit war; the fact that you think you're enforcing policy is, unfortunately, neither here nor there. However, I have only imposed a partial block on you, which means you can stil discuss the issue everywhere on Wikipedia, just not continue edit warring. Salvio 08:46, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Can another user revert my revision without any discussion, even if he is obviously not respecting MOS:LEADIMAGE? What should I do if he reverts that revision again? gabibb2   ✉  13:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reverting without discussion is suboptimal regardless of who does it; however, it does not authorise you to continue reverting in turn. This is a content dispute. You interpret policy one way, other editors interpret it another way. The appropriate ways to solve the dispute are listed at WP:DR. That said, in the end, you may have to accept that consensus is against you. You may think that other people are wrong, but if *their* interpretation is the one that is backed by consensus, you'll have to drop the stick. I'm not saying that is necessarily the case, but I'll point out that, at first glance, it appears you are the one editing against consensus, considering you are being reverted by multiple editors. Salvio 16:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "You may think that other people are wrong"... Those two people were undoubtedly wrong and you that if you know how MOS:LEADIMAGE works. It is not my opinion against those two opinions, it is clearly their personal preferences against Wikipedia's guidelines. If you join the discussion you will see what happened, no one should manipulate Wikipedia's content based on their own biased preferences. But thank you for clarify everything. gabibb2   ✉  17:21, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

You closed Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:Pearl Brewing Company/Images as delete but did not actually delete the page. -- Whpq (talk) 13:57, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

2020 United States Senate election in Maine
This was a simple content dispute, and the page was left in the new version that’s clearly in violation of a prior RFC on infobox criteria.

SPI archive link missing
Hello, you archived this SPI, and the templates look fine: Yet the archived investigation link isn't showing, and I had to look at the edit history for the link. Is that a MediaWiki bug? Thanks, Captain Calm (talk) 03:07, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , actually, I do see the link to the archive. Have you tried purging your cache? If that doesn't solve the issue, I'll have to ask someone more technically minded... Salvio 09:36, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ha, you're right. Sorry to have bothered you - next time I'll try another browser before asking. Captain Calm (talk) 09:46, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , don't worry. As you can see above, sometimes the scripts I use do not exactly do what I told them to do, so it was possible something went wrong this time as well. Salvio 09:49, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

IP on ANI
Just a head's up, the IP you just blocked from trolling on ANI has used several IPs, I've blocked the range from editing there for a week as a better alternative, otherwise I suspect they'll be back soon on a different IP otherwise.

Deletion of Wisconsin Appeals Court Judges -- Paul C. Gartzke and others
A number of articles have been deleted in the last few weeks for judges of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals due to the erroneous claim that they are not state-level judges. You were the deleting administrator for Paul C. Gartzke, who was presiding judge for 18 years. The Wisconsin Appeals Court is elected and holds sessions in regional districts, but their rulings (in 3-judge panels) have statewide impact. These judges are far more significant to the laws of the state than any individual state legislator and for them to be erased is trashing a significant portion of the understanding of the legal and political landscape of the state of Wisconsin.

It makes no sense that we would have pages for thousands and thousands of state legislators (or congressmen for that matter) representing 1 or 2 towns serving as one voting member in a body with dozens or hundreds of voting members but not for a judge who has the power to choose cases, assign cases, and rule on cases with state-wide legal implications and only one level of appeal above them--an appeal which only gets exercised in a fraction of their cases.

All of these recent irresponsible deletions related to this case should be reversed. This is borderline vandalism. —Asdasdasdff (talk) 17:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The consensus at AfD was that they are not notable and, so, the page was deleted. Simply put, WP:JUDGE is not met and neither is WP:GNG, so Gartzke and the others do not qualify for inclusion. After all, as you yourself note, this wasn't the only judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals whose article was deleted. There is a consensus, across many AfDs that they are not notable merely on account of their profession. Finally, accusing people of "borderline vandalism" is a personal attack. If you keep that up, you'll liable to end up blocked. Salvio 19:00, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

ANI
Maybe, but given what has been posted by 165.225.196.233 at JoeBlow7777 I stand by my comments about PA's.Slatersteven (talk) 15:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The latest comment on JoeBlow7777's talk page was completely unacceptable and more than block-worthy. However, even assuming the two IPs were operated by the same person, calling an editor's edits racist – when they are – is not a personal attack. It's precisely what "focus on the edits, not on the editor" means, in my opinion. Salvio 15:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * But we must also make sure that users do not get the idea that calling users racist and expecting that to be enough is a good idea either. My point was the reason that their earlier reports had not been acted upon (as I go on to point out) was because they had failed to provide evidence to back up their claim and this was "Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links." technically a violation of npa, they had failed to provide evidence up until the ANI report. If (and its an IF) the two accounts are the same I woulds (thus) argue you gave them the impression that making such accusations without evidence was acceptable. This was exactly what I was trying to avoid. But as its clear we do not agree fair enough.Slatersteven (talk) 15:35, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I now see your point and actually agree with you. Reading your comments on ANI, it wasn't clear to me that what you objected to was the fact that the accusation was not sufficiently backed up by evidence. That said, I certainly hope I did not give them the impression that, by hiding behind accusations of racism, then they can do whatever they want. In any case, if that's the impression they took away, the block they've received should disabuse them of that notion.  Salvio 15:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

HSB Canada
Hi I see you deleted the "HSB Canada" wiki draft, Do you mind explaining the issues? Should I not put the product offerings? Was the language not neutral enough. I'm a new user and learning as I go. Much appreciated. Smistry.hsb (talk) 19:14, 25 August 2020 (UTC)SM.
 * I deleted the article under speedy deletion criterion WP:G11 because it read like an advertisement. The language did not appear neutral and, yes, the product offerings sealed the deal. Mind you, other than that, the draft was also problematic because it was undersourced, so, if you recreate the article, you should be mindful of that as well. In short, on Wikipedia we care about what reliable, secondary sources have to say about something. Going forward, I suggest you familiarise yourself with WP:COI, WP:NPOV, WP:NCORP, and WP:PROMO.

Sockpuppetry
Hi Salvio, could you look at the diffs I've provided around the potential sockpuppetry at Dario Hunter? I'm not exactly sure about how to figure out if an editor is using IPs to game the system or not, but I think it could be the case in this situation. Thanks.--16:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I blocked the latest IP (the others are stale by now) and Audentis. For me, it was a clear case of logging out to continue an edit war. I was undecided whether to block for that as well, but decided to only issue a warning, so that, hopefully, you can try to solve the dispute, since you both seem to be editing in good faith.  Salvio 16:06, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Update: well, it would appear he did not heed my warning; consequently, I have blocked him and semi-protected the article. Salvio 16:16, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You mind rolling back to the version that existed before the latest IP edit? --User:Namiba 16:18, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd rather not, considering there is nothing blatantly disruptive in either version (at least, as far as I can see), because that could be construed as me taking sides in the dispute – in addition to making me WP:INVOLVED. Salvio 16:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Salvio giuliano! You've got blocked for block evasion - would you mind clarifying who you think they are?

User:Arglebargle79
Hello Salvio. When you sanctioned this editor on August 18 you described it as a 1RR. If the action was under ARBAP2, it is logical that the 1RR would only apply to their editing of American politics articles. If you agree, can you leave a note at WP:DSLOG/2020 to make that clear. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 00:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , I have clarified the scope of 's sanction, making it clear that it only applies to edits relating to post-1932 American politics. Salvio 09:05, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Salvio. I have an open ANI case about Arglebargle79's persistent harassment of me, including in relation to their false accusations against me at their AE appeal. It has been going on for days, and really just needs to be closed at this point (even if no action is to be taken) as Arglebargle79 is taking the argument in circles with repeated WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT responses. The admins seem to be skipping over it; an uninvolved editor,, joined the discussion as if they were an admin, but don't appear to be one upon closer inspection. Can you please take a look at it? This has been going on for two months now and I just want to be left alone so I can go about my editing in peace. , I'd also like to know what you have to say about this. Thanks. — Tartan357   ( Talk ) 02:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , I have only skimmed through the ANI thread, because I'd rather let some other administrator take care of the matter and, to be entirely honest with you, that thread is a bit all over the place... Salvio 07:37, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I tried to make it clear and straightforward. What do you think I should be doing differently? It's a bit hard because Arglebargle79 insists on denying even basic facts. I'm just sick of them making personal attacks against me, some behind my back, like at their AE appeal. And they've made it clear they do not intend to collaborate with other editors. As they keep making false statements about me, I feel the need to keep responding. The lack of a response from admins seems to be a recurring problem at admin noticeboards. My experience has usually been that I have to open the same thread multiple times even for very straightforward requests that are eventually granted. Is there something I'm missing about the AN process? It's very frustrating to have to spend all this time on the thread only to see admins ignore it and close newer discussions. —  Tartan357   ( Talk ) 10:29, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , part of the reason the thread is all over the place is the back-and-forth between the two of you. It only serves to confuse the thread and to make it more difficult for admins willing to intervene to understand what's going on. In my experience, unless an issue is exceedingly clear, you need to spell the problem out right off the bat, adding diffs and clarifying the remedy you request. After that, stop interacting with the other user, unless strictly necessary. If you do this, you'll maximise your chances of getting a passing admin to scrutinise the problem. It's possible that an admin may take interest in the issue even if the thread is chaotic, but it's much less likely.  My feeling is that the thread will be closed without action. I advise against filing a new request regarding the same problem, as that could be seen as forum shopping and might lead to a boomerang. Should *new* problems occur within the context of post-1932 American politics, I suggest you should try WP:AE, whose format is somewhat more fit for purpose.  The main point, however, is that you need to as clear as possible: explain the problem, provide diffs, clarify the remedy you're seeking.  Salvio 12:18, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
