Indefinitely pending-protected pages by an inactive user
I made requests in the previous month in the hopes of anyone addressing my statements, to say the least. However, those requests, including swimming (disambiguation), have been discarded with no input from admins due to a user who persistently insists that I am an affiliate of a telly-vandal who appears to live in the same range as I am. These were my reasons for unprotection.102.156.121.163 (talk) 15:22, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Given what happened the last time I answered your requests at RfPP (the lack of disruption afterwards suggests that you aren't asking for the articles to be unprotected so that you can disrupt them), I will take you at your word that you aren't them. This is also taking the LTA page into account. Unprotected, given the general lack of activity and disruption (FYI: and ). Sdrqaz (talk) 02:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Personally I agree with Favonian that we shouldn't be wasting our time processing requests from a likely sock, but on the other hand I don't particularly care whether or not swimming is protected at this time. If this user starts filling up RFPP again with pointless requests I will likely block them however. OhNo itsJamie Talk 02:44, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Honestly typing, that is what I planned to do in the future, but compiling the pages in one edit like this one, nonetheless excluding media-related articles given the fact that the LTA case in my region being prevalent. But seriously, I was making requests mainly because of two reasons: 1)Page protector is inactive, and 2)Page is protected long enough (provided that it doesn't have a lengthy list of protection history). Why are you considering my case "pointless"? If you believe they are "pointless", then why did you accept my request for unprotecting pool (cue sports) in the first place?102.156.121.163 (talk) 07:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * These requests are pretty valid from a policy point of view and are not what I would call pointless (I could get that perspective if they were requesting semi-protection removals for redirects, but these are "live" pages that have very little need for continued protection). I hope that the link between the LTA and these IPs isn't just being made because they're from Tunisia, given that this IP doesn't fit into the behavioural clues listed at the LTA page regarding lack of communication. Sdrqaz (talk) 15:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Not only "lacking communication skills", but also persistent reverts. Users might have mistaken me an LTA user by accounting my reverts to this edit as well as this edit. I am currently decreasing my activity for a while, as a means of accepting the wp:so, provided that one of my ranges is meant to be blocked for 3 months.
 * I find out that negotiating issues with experienced editors interesting. However, there is one thing I intend to avoid but also uncertain if I am ever commiting it (if it is, I am sorry to type this) and that is: wp:hounding. I understand such behaviour leads to serious consequences/sanctions, but how can anyone tell if I am ever commiting it? (see also user talk:el C)102.156.121.163 (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I realized you did not remove or shorten protection from one of the pages. Since I have made that request again at user talk:lectonar, I am unlikely that I would request that again given that he explained why indefinite protection is still necessary, albeit being protected for over five years.102.156.121.163 (talk) 07:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I assume that this is about the Big Brother articles. I don't really agree with that (I'm biased, but I think that my solution of introducing time limits for the Nickelodeon awards worked out all right), but I'll defer to on this. Sdrqaz (talk) 15:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The difference being that you down-protected almost all of them from semi to pending (actually that's also my take, downgrade to pending with time-limit, to evaluate the effect of it) whereas the Big brother ones are only pending changes protected to start with, afaics, and are still experiencing disruption on a lower level. Lectonar (talk) 07:19, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * True, but when there are on average only two reverted edits by non-autoconfirmed users in the past year, the need for continued protection is not as pronounced. Sdrqaz (talk) 21:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Presently, the 2024 edition is experiencing dubious edits, albeit once protected for a week, earlier this month. What can you do?102.159.182.25 (talk) 12:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm wary that protection will be interpreted as an endorsement of a side in the only/first argument (and it should not be interpreted as such), but will place 2024 Kids' Choice Awards under pending changes for two weeks. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:54, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Disruption returned, including from another address which starts with those same numbers as I am, unrelated to me. Per previous editions' protection history, could you consider a month long protection?102.158.132.236 (talk) 07:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I've, given that this event is occurring in a couple of hours and interest should die down soon. I see that you've despite my comment above. Your block was for block evasion, while saying that they should create an account. Would you block those accounts for block evasion too? And how does the behavior of this account fulfil the behavioral tells linked above? Sdrqaz (talk) 23:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I hadn't been following this thread since June, but I blocked that IP because they just hit a filter hitting a filter attempting to edit TV-related aritcles, which is exactly what the filter is intended for. If you want to unblock them, be my guest, but I suspect they are the user the block is intended for. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 02:06, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I asked you in June how this user's behavior meets the behavior listed at the LTA page (especially regarding communication) and you didn't respond. This IP seems to be trying to revert the LTA (example, removing a YouTube source) and you blocked them from doing so (both literally and through the filter), which seems counter-productive. I will unblock shortly. I understand that it may be frustrating that there seems to be two people on the same range editing in TV-related areas, making collateral damage difficult to avoid, but the block seems very much avoidable. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * While the behavior isn't identical, it's certainly plausible for the LTA to adopt different behavior. In any case, the filter is going to prevent anons in that range from editing a large swath of TV articles, so I'm not too worried about it either way. OhNo itsJamie Talk 12:21, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Im sorry but what exactly did your remove from my user page?? RegierungDavidlands1852 (talk) 10:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, . I removed some personal information from your user page, including information about your location. The material was suppressed, meaning that the information was removed from public view, with administrators also unable to access it (only members of the Oversight team can).This was done to prevent possible harassment; you may find this useful. As there is still some personal information on your user page, you may want to remove some of that too after reading the link above. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Speaking about revision deletions, can you take a closer look at special:history/One Montgomery Tower and decide for yourself which revisions and/or WP:ESes ought to or should not have been deleted?41.62.103.29 (talk) 11:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi. A bit tricky because although most of the deletions were within policy, I'm not sure I would have carried them out. I've and  for consistency, as well as . Sdrqaz (talk) 05:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

respect
I don't agree with your oppose at ARCA, but I do respect that you were willing to speak your mind in the face of strong opposition. That is an excellent quality in an arbitrator. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 20:52, 14 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, . I promised the Community that I would do that, even if it makes work more difficult/tiring sometimes. Thank you for your kind words. Yours, Sdrqaz (talk) 04:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
