Following this finding of fact in the arbitration case (unrelated to me) I have stopped all administrator activity in the areas I edit — everything related to the countries of the former Soviet Union, to rail transport, and to the Olympics. I may occasionally make fully uncontroversial actions, such as blocks for and protections against obvious vandalism and obvious BLP violations.

Donguz Formation
Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Japan
Hi Ymblanter, in case you want to help: The Historic Sites of Japan need to be converted to use NHS Japan header and NHS Japan row. For now only the national part. I did a couple as examples. Multichill (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello; Is it possible to do any conversion by ?bot? as seems to have been done for these Chinese ones? The format of the Japanese lists is intended to be internally similar, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess this is more a question to than to me, but I guess if it were he would do the conversion himself without asking me. Let us wait what he answers. If the conversion is not possible, I volunteer to do at least some of the manual conversion (one-two lists per day).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I tried converting with a bot, but didn't manage to do it without too much mess so I abandoned that. Multichill (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning up the Belarus geographical mess
I'm getting unstuck in trying to compile a table of terminology for the Belarus geographical naming conventions. There appears to be a flood of new articles and stubs recently and it appears that English Wikipedia is now leading the way with transliteration/transcription norms (which, as we know, simply isn't Wikipedia's role). As the contributors don't seem to know what to do other than follow the current directives, we're ending up with orphaned pages and broken links absolutely everywhere.

My thoughts are to follow the Belarusian government standards for the English speaking world (which DON'T involve the irritating version of what is essentially Latinka), i.e. as laid out per this map and other official sites. What's good enough for the Belarus government should be good enough for us.

You can check the sad beginnings in my sandbox. Any constructive input from sensible Wikipedians would be appreciated.

I've left this message on Ezhiki and TaalVerbeteraar's pages as well. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The beginning seems reasonable, thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Greetings. Any chance you could proof/source improve my Russian translation of the history and expand it further?♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Draft:Nikolay Antipov
Hi Ymblanter. Draft:Nikolay Antipov was on the verge of G13 deletion, but the man is obviously notable. It looks like a machine translation of ru:Антипов, Николай Кириллович. I have added a few English language book citations, would copy-editing be an easy task for you? Thanks, Sam Sailor 18:28, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reminding me, I will be slowly working on the draft.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Great, thank you. Sam Sailor 18:46, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Global renamer
Would you consider applying? We could use another active Russian speaker. Something we’ve been working on is getting people not to handle as many requests from languages they aren’t familiar with and this has lead to a small backlog from some wikis. I know you aren’t active on ru.wikipedia now, but being able to read the requests on meta and figure out if it’s within policy would be incredibly helpful. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * , do you have any idea how much time investmet this could be? I am operating close to the upper level limit of my abilities, and if it is enough to check some page once per day and react to pings, I could still do it, but continuously monitoring a page would probably be too much.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:06, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that’d be the most, and checking once every few days would even be helpful. It’s a volunteer project and getting more volunteers from different language groups is always a plus. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Contest
Hi. I was actually thinking of organising a contest to get my old stubs expanded. Basically what I did in the early days on here was to identify notable missing articles, simply identifying them and getting them up, thinking in the long term at what is best. The problem is that a lot are really off the anglospere radar and don't get expanded but really should have decent content even if short. The idea that I mass created copyvio articles amuses me, I doubt there's more than a few dozen out of 100,000. I might see if I can get a hotlist of stubs created and run a contest to see who can expand the most. Alternatively I can request deleting them all which would mostly be negative as most can be fleshed out..♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The list is at the CCI investigation page(s). No, I do not think you should delete them, and indeed most of them (I do not know whether most is 90%, 99% or 99.9999%) do not contain any copyvio. But having them expanded would be nice. For Russian districts, I am going through them anyway, and it still could take years, but if I am still alive I will do them. I sometimes write on more exotic topics, but for example Chinese stubs typically require some understanding of Chinese sources for their expansion, and attention could be brought to them it would be great.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The task of building this encyclopedia is just so gigantic isn't it? I feel guilty in seeing so many short stubs but really should have been created with much more content but it was all done with the mindset of trying to make this encyclopedia have coverage of everywhere on the planet and really try to tackle systematic bias. I did a lot of good, a lot of them have been expanded but there's a worrying number untouched in ten years. Nobody is developing them. You know Czech and Turkish villages, German rivers etc, articles we should have but nobody is editing. We need something to get them improved. There's probablt a lot of African villages which should probably be redirected into a list, some of those villages in Burkina Faso and Benin etc are still unlikely to have anything online within the next ten years, though on a county or municipal level it seems to be gradually improving in some areas as they come online.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is an evergreen question what should be redirected and what should have separate articles. This is of course diffisult but I would say administrative divisions of levels 1-2-3 are probably fine, and reasonably big settlements (say above 10K) should be fine as well. For the rest, I would say we either have easily available sources or not. Once I tried to expand an article on a Czech village and could not find any information above the standard one which was already in the article. On the other hand, a Czech speaker would know what to search for and might be more successfull. African villages are probably hopeless for the time being unless there are very clear sources covering them. I created some time ago an article on a new province of Zambia (first level administrative division), English is an official language of Zambia, and it was still difficult to find any reasonable information.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I mean look at Madjoari Department (not mine). Even the bigger province is a short stub Kompienga Province. If we can't even get that right it's useless worrying about hundreds of localities within them. If all we have is a population figure I think we should redirect them all into lists by district/province like a gazetteer until there is sufficient info. I'm more embarrassed at seeing how many stubs I created which are still empty than worrying at people finding vios!♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:22, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * When I was writing about districts of Mozambique, it was easier for me that articles already existed, templates were there, and I just needed to add info from my sources. I suspect Burkina Faso is similar, and I speak French. Villages could be a completely different story whatsoever.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Ulaankhus
Hi, can you find anything on this in Russian or find a way to translate Mongolian, I tried to destub it but struggled with the web sources I found. Russian wiki has some decent info on it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will have a look. --Ymblanter (talk) 13:47, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I found a source for the population at here 8010, looks like there's some other facts in there in the tables. I remember about 12 years back the sums were all half liners and there was no info on the web at all about them!♦  Dr. Blofeld  14:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Cheers. It would make a massive difference to the encyclopedia wouldn't it if we could get every article on localities up to that sort of minimum quality. Most of the districts are still one liners.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:51, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, and this is what I am systematically doing with Russia (see e.g. Firovsky District as a random example). Concerning Ulaankhus, it also borders with China (and actually its borders with Russia and China are separated), but yesterday I could not figure out how to write this properly. The article I found also contains some information on the geography (mainly relief), I will see whether there is something useful to add to the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:54, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I was just looking at that, that narrow strip to the southwest, Xinjiang I think. You and Ezhiki have done a terrific job with Russia, it's massive!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:59, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This is definitely Xinjiang, but to add it in the list, we need to know which Mongolian sums this border separates, and I could not figure this out yesterday. Thanks for compliments for Russia, Ezhiki is unfortunately inactive but I am still around. There is still plenty of work to do there.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:03, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Firovsky District is several times more than adequate, a lot of these stubs if they even had a paragraph of text like the lead it would make a big difference, something which actually looks like something you'd see in an encyclopedia, not a crappy online database. "Life is what you make it" they say, well "The encyclopedia is what you make it" rings true too! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

I added a translation from Russian wiki for Altai, Bayan-Ölgii but I couldn't access the sources. Can you see if you can source it. If not I've just remove it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:58, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I tried to get the sources from the Russian wikipedia yesterday and one was off-line and another one was archived but not particularly reliable. I will have one more look in the evening.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * There is only one Russian source there,, which has quite a lot of info about the aimak (though the reliability is questionable, but it should be ok at the end), but very little specifically about the sum.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:00, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I started Kikhchik, Russian wiki has two settlements of the same name, one a village which existed nearby long before that was set up. I think it would be best to have one article covering them both but you might disagree. Looking in Google Books the river seems the most notable. It's transwikied and if possible the source need checking and verifying. Won't keep bothering you as I know you're busy but you might want to look into it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:08, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Subdistricts of Afghanistan
Hi, can you find a list of subdistricts of Afghanistan? I can't seem to find any. Of course even the districts mostly need expanding and researching but it would still be good if there was a list somewhere.† Encyclopædius  14:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Mmm Kot-e Ashro looks like it is actually the town of Jalrez itself now. Falling Rain isn't reliable but is usually right on coordinates and looking on google maps it says it's Jalrez now. This source though says Kot used to be the district capital until taken by the Taliban. Odd. What do you think?† Encyclopædius  15:02, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Usually these things come out if the census, but then one of course needs to be able to read Pashto, and also I am not sure there was a census in the last 50 years. Any other statistical info would be good as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:31, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I can't find the coordinates for Zaiwalat either. It's an educated guess for now but not sure.† Encyclopædius  15:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Found it I think.† Encyclopædius  16:58, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I spent some time searching, I can not find the list of subdistricts. Will try again tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This one says that the subdistricts were eliminated by Taliban in 1996 and are not in use anymore.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:10, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

IP nationality changes
I have noticed IPs continually changing the nationality of Russian figures who acquired Israeli citizenship in recent years, including those who decided to stay in Russia, with now there being general edit warring over the nationality. See for example Ivan Urgant, Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin. I remember this being similarly done on Arkady Volozh but now this is affecting many other articles. Is page protection the best course of action in this case for these pages? This has been going on for many months so I am not sure. Mellk (talk) 02:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * This is indeed not appropriate, certainly not without discussion, and needs to be reverted. Has any of the articles been targeted more than once? Ymblanter (talk) 06:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Maxim Galkin for example I count four times he is changed to Israeli. I see this was the first change on 9 October 2023 where the name in Russian was removed and the first sentence was changed to "Soviet-born and Israeli comedian". At least some of these changes are made by IPs in the range 95.152.0.0/16 and I see a lot of changes on other BLPs by IPs in this range. Alla Pugacheva there are more IPs changing this. Mellk (talk) 06:37, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I added pending changes to both for a year, let us see what happens. Ymblanter (talk) 06:51, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. Happy new year. Mellk (talk) 06:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

In your edit here you moved a category (Category:PBS member networks) that was falsely tagged as C2D. PBS is not the primary category nor is there a page called PBS member networks, so on what grounds did you accept this move? Gonnym (talk) 12:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I am not sure I understand. The article is PBS and not Public Broadcasting Service, We do not have the article PBS member networks, but we do not have the article Public Broadcasting Service member networks either. It probably should go to a full discussion anyway, since there are objections from both sides, the question is only what name does it have in the meanwhile and what is going to happen in case of no consensus decision.

Is pending changes on ARBPIA article needed?
I admittedly do not fully understand WP:PENDINGCHANGES interface. When looking at history of 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel every single edit has "Automatically accepted" tag which I find distracting. Is PC necessary on articles that are restricted to ECP? Since you added it, I figured I'd ping you directly. Kind regards ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 20:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)


 * In December, I placed the page under temporary full protection. A bad thing about protection upgrade is that when it expired, the page does not go back to the previous protection (in this case, extended-confirmed one) but instead becomes unprotected (this is being reported as a bug for a long time but apparently there is no interest in fixing it). Therefore the best practice is in this case to also add pending changes, to avoid anonymous vandalism / POV pushing showing in the article. This is what I have done, and nobody removed it. Now I have removed it because it is indeed not needed, thanks for paying attention. Ymblanter (talk) 20:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Years in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic
I think something went wrong, this page you deleted needs to be undeleted and the other one, Category:Years of the 20th century in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, either redirected or deleted. I don't get why you would delete a page, and then ask for another one to be redirected there. Fram (talk) 13:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * The move is usually done by the bot, and for the bot to do the move the redirect has to be deleted first. If I get it right, the bot has already done the job (I asked it also to keep the redirect), and before asking the bot I made sure we do not get any redlinks there. If you still see something which you think is not okay please let me know, these category moves in the cases the category is given by a template are notoriously difficult. Thanks. Ymblanter (talk) 13:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * May be I should have directly moved the category suppressing the redirect, but usually at CfD it is not considered a good style. Ymblanter (talk) 13:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I have reverted edits for years in 3 Soviet republics, as the standard nav template works fine providing that redirects are in place where a standard template-generated name is not to be used. No offence intended. I will look into simplifying and documenting these points. Did I miss a discussion somewhere about this set? – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, there was no discussion, I just needed to find a solution when the new categories are visible and the old ones are not, and I could not find any. If this is what you have done it should be perfectly fine. Ymblanter (talk) 06:27, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * BTW I only edited two Sovet republics, Turkmenian and Moldavian. Ymblanter (talk) 06:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Right, I found the third one Category:Years of the 20th century in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic deleted but still populated, so I redirected it, and that was all that was needed. – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. Ymblanter (talk) 06:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Playboi Carti page protection
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the place to suggest this or not.

Is there any way to remove the indefinite lock, or at least set a date for it to be unlocked rather than indef? This is for the Playboi Carti article.

The reason I ask is that I believe there should be a note on the birthday stating something along the lines of "While most published sources support a 1996 birthday, self published sources state a 1995 birthday" or similar. Since it is contested material, WP:DOB states it should include both or be removed. I believe this would cut down on the edit wars from both sides of the debate since it presents both arguments. Thank you.

Awshort (talk) 10:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I would prefer not to unprotect it for the time being, because what was happening in the article is not really acceptable. However, if there is discussion at the talk page of the article and there is consensus between all parties about the birth date, an extended-confirmed editor will implement the consensus. Ymblanter (talk) 10:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Block of Queen Raducanu
I think you should undo your block of. All edits between their vandalism warning and their edits to the team event medal article seem to be in good faith and, as a new user I don't think they know of WP:NPOV.

I also think you are WP:INVOLVED as (among other reasons) you appear to have a vested interest in the skating medals. Jasper Deng (talk) 18:26, 31 January 2024 (UTC)


 * They have been previously warned, so I do not think this is a bad block. I will undo it however because of the involved argument. Whereas I have zero vested interest (I believe I actually started the article, this is why I have it on my watchlist), and nobody can really prove that I was POV editing, I agree it does not look good. Ymblanter (talk) 18:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks Jasper, I appreciate it. As for you Ymblanter - I correctly updated the team figure skating event from 2022’s games to show that ROC got demoted to the bronze medal this week. Some bright spark has undone this to show the ROC still winning gold. Surely you should be blocking whoever did that & if that is yourself then you should do some research into things before changing them back. Queen Raducanu (talk) 11:36, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually, it seriously worries me that you do not understand which part of your edit was totally inappropriate. Ymblanter (talk) 01:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * We keep in line with what IOC has done, and only IOC (or CAS on appeal) has authority to officially alter medal assignments. IOC has not officially approved this change even as ISU has released updated rankings. The consensus (agreement) by the community at Talk:Figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Team event is for this. Ymblanter did do their research and the only reason I requested they unblock you was WP:INVOLVED; had it been by an uninvolved administrator the block would've remained, and I otherwise endorsed the block.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I blocked specifically for this edit, not for changing the medals - assuming good faith, a user can be not sufficiently informed about the recent developments and should not be blocked for one- or two-time introduction of unsourced content. Ymblanter (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Governorates
Hi, was there any past discussion that you remember about the usage of "the" before governorates? Most of the articles now do not have "the" but there are a few articles about governorates in the Caucasus region where "the" is used e.g. Black Sea Governorate and Elizavetpol Governorate. It seems a few other editors work on those articles specifically and prefer "the". Thanks. Mellk (talk) 17:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I am not a native speaker. When I came here the ones which existed did not have the, if I remember correctly. May be something for the central discussion, but we should come with a single pattern, whatever it could be. Ymblanter (talk) 23:11, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ymblanter, may I ask where it says that Ikh Hob Dikh Tsu Fil Lib lyrics is copyrighted till 2029? Was the original version copyrighted or English one, or both? Can you please provide a link? Thanks, Jacob0790 (talk) 18:22, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * If it was published in the US in 1933, the text is under copyright for 95 years, both Yiddish and English text (assuming nothing strange happened, for example explicitly released in public domain).

Exaggerated protection time
I understand there were disagreements on the article False rape accusation, but seriously, was it really necessary a protection from editing for an entire year? Why so long? Especially now that I started a topic in the talk page about it. Usually a protection is so long when edit wars proceed even after the first short block, so why this time is different? 151.36.46.173 (talk) 08:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It was previously protected for six months. The next protection will likely be of indefinite duration. Ymblanter (talk) 08:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Clervaux station picture
Hello,

I am perplexed as to why you are so passive-agressive in reverting my picture change on Clervaux railway station. What do you mean by "inserting your picture in every single possible place in the Wikimedia Universe" ? I understand you might take a form of personal pride in the 2014 image as you took it yourself, but all I want to do is to make the article better by having a picture that is more recent, higher quality and shows the station building from closer. In your picture, the road bridge, which is not the subject of the article, is at the forefront, which I personally find to be unnecessary as again, this is about "Clervaux railway station" and not "Clervaux railway station, above which there is a road bridge". Could you please clarify why you think your picture is preferrable to the more recent one? Procrastineur49 (talk) 16:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I do not see any advantage of your picture, and I really do not like that you went through all the projects and replaced there pictures by your picture. As far as I am concerned this behavior is absolutely unnecessary. My picture is only used in one project (here), I indeed took trouble to travel there and take it, and and I not happy for it being mass-replaced. Ymblanter (talk) 17:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * And of course if the station is under a bridge it is under a bridge. I do not see why this should be hidden in any way. Ymblanter (talk) 17:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * For the record, I did not "go through all the projects and replace the picture", it was only on English and French WP and on Wikidata. Also, it is not "my picture". It saddens me that you are making such a big deal out of this. Procrastineur49 (talk) 18:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Personal Attacks
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Alexei Navalny. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Brusquedandelion (talk) 13:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Really? Thank you for teaching me Wikipedia policies, I obviously are not familiar with them and never thought they could even exist. I am happy to get a lesson from a user with 600 edits who is editing in a contentious topic they are not familiar with. Ymblanter (talk) 14:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think I was teaching you anything, though your acerbic and sarcastic response (and in particular the fact your immediate urge was to complain to other administrators to get me blocked) suggests that you think you are better than me because I have edited Wikipedia fewer times than you, or because you are an administrator and I am not. At the very least, it doesn't.
 * If you're already familiar with Wikipedia civility guidelines (which I never doubted to begin with), then that is all the more reason to be civil. Thus your response doesn't really make sense, except as indicating a feeling of superiority ("how dare this pipsqueak talk back to me, the might so and so...").
 * Administrators such as yourself should make more, not less, of an attempt to be civil. I recognize I am not perfect, but neither has anyone placed in a position of confidence, as Wikipedians have with you. Brusquedandelion (talk) 07:57, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So you have just got a 31 h block and still have not understood anything. Prepare yourself for a longer block then. Ymblanter (talk) 07:59, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Are you threatening me? Are administrators supposed to behave this way? Brusquedandelion (talk) 08:35, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I am stating the obvious thing. I can not block your account myself. Ymblanter (talk) 11:24, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

But some anti Ahir/Yadav editors are trying to separate this dynasty from the modern Ahir/Yadav caste and want to merge this dynasty with another group called Maratha. 2409:4085:9D08:2AA7:0:0:8189:220A (talk) 18:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Chewbacca protection
Hi, I'm reaching out because you changed the protection status for Chewbacca back in 2016. The protection status doesn't bother me, but I am a little confused about why an edit notice declaring the protection status appears on the visual editor every time I edit the page. Only people who can edit the page will see the edit notice, which reminds us who cannot edit the page. To me, that doesn't make sense, and I find it irritating that I have to close that edit notice every time :)

Would you be able to either A) remove the protection, since there hasn't been any recent vandalism, or B) somehow deactivate the edit notice?

Before contacting you, I was hoping to reach @Samsara, since they were responsible for the most recent page protection, but it looks like they haven't edited WP since 2021. Wafflewombat (talk) 03:21, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Basanth Sadasivan
Hey Ymblanter. So you know, the editor that requested protection of the Basanth Sadasivan article falsely claimed that there was IP vandalism. I think they were trying to stop the addition of maintenance tags to the article, which they have blanking. I previously draftified the article, was reverted, and suspect a COI, but I'm not sure what the best course is here, maybe AfD? gobonobo + c 23:05, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * There were two recent edits from different IPs, one of which was vandalism, and another one was unreferenced BLP addition, possibly also vandalism. The semi-protection should not deter experienced editors to add anything to the article. COI is always difficult to prove, but if you feel there is no notability indeed AfD is a good way to proceed. Ymblanter (talk) 05:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Removing protection for Toby Turner
Hi. You increased the protection for Toby Turner in 2016 to indefinite, following the page being protected several times since 2013. Incidentally, this was probably sensible as Turner was the target of sexual allegations the same week and the protection no doubt prevented imminent vandalism. However, I wanted to request if the protection could be removed, based on the relatively few number of edits to the page each year. Furthermore, Turner's popularity has plummeted since the early-to-mid 2010s, and unless he is the subject of another lasting controversy which puts him in the limelight (which I doubt) I see no reason why the page would incur a larger number of edits and potential vandalism.

Objection to cat speedy-rename
I just saw a bunch of pages on my watchlist get re-categorized pursuant to this speedy-rename. If I had noticed beforehand, I would have objected. Looking more closely, I still object. Despite the new name matching the main article for the cat, the subjects are actually not the same. The main is about the process (and named accordingly) whereas all of the other articles are are examples of dimer chemicals. Therefore, the previous name is a better description of the cat's contents. Could you please undo the speedy? DMacks (talk) 03:23, 16 June 2024 (UTC)


 * We need to solve it somehow, let us see., would you be willing to take this to a full discussion? Ymblanter (talk) 07:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I would certainly be satisfied with having a regular discussion, as usual for when a speedy is not as clear-cut/uncontroversial as it initially seemed. For example, it's possible that there is no eponymous actual article for the cat, merely a redirect that is as close as we do have. DMacks (talk) 11:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The easiest solution to me is to have a regular discussion, under the condition that no consensus means moving the cats back. I can make the statement in the discussion, but I do not think I should be the person opening the discussion. On the other hand, if Gjs238 agrees we should just move the categories back without the discussion, I can easily do this. Ymblanter (talk) 12:04, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Works for me. I came to you based on the last sentence of the WP:CFDS process. DMacks (talk) 12:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Thanks, will do this now. Ymblanter (talk) 14:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Looks good. As a final note on this topic (just so this is all written in one place if anyone looks back), we also have a consistently-named set of cats as Category:Dimers (chemistry)‎ (topic of discussion here), Category:Trimers (chemistry)‎, Category:Tetramers (chemistry) in Category:Oligomers, so C2C also supports the original name.

Proposed constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/178.16.45.79 isn't this length of block excessive for an IP? Traumnovelle (talk) 09:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Why not? This is static IP, which is vandalism-only. They have already been blocked for a month and continued vandalism immediately after that one expired. If there are good-faith users on that IP they can create a registered account and start editing. Ymblanter (talk) 09:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

 * I think it does not but I would need to check. Ymblanter (talk) 10:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * When an admin blocks an IP, there's an option "Block account creation" which is enabled by default, you need to consciously deselect it if you want people to create accounts. In the case of 178.16.45.79, the most recent [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3A178.16.45.79&type=block block log] entry says "anon. only, account creation blocked", so it appears to have been set. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 18:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

 * ECP is not indefinite, it is only until 19 July. On that day, the page becomes unprotected and will be subject to vandalism. Whereas I am sure users notice it the same day and the semi-protection will be restored, it is good to have the pending changes in force. The protection is redundant now, but it will stop to be redundant the moment the ecp expires. Ymblanter (talk) 18:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
