"Malformed report"
Hi :) Regarding Special:Diff/894910621, as far as I remember, normal reports for revoking talk page access quickly get removed as "already blocked" by the helperbot. Has this changed or is there a better way to create such reports? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:51, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- Do a normal report and make the comment. Malformed reports cannot be handled by the bots. -- Alexf(talk) 09:31, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, and I may need to try again next time, but would you really have noticed Special:Diff/877335988 in the 8 seconds that the report was visible? Do you regularly check the AIV history for clearly "done" reports to see if they may contain a comment requesting TPA removal? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:19, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- Tough and not often but sometimes I do check AIV a few times a minute (3 or 4 when I have the time). -- Alexf(talk) 16:21, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

An article
I just saw your comment in your summary on **********. I just wanted to know that when I click the diff link it redirects me to the article. It was like this RD2: Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material
Could you explain what is going on? Sincerely, Masum Reza☎ 09:41, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- Some school kid placed the name of a class mate or other kid naming him as a dickhead. We can't have that. -- Alexf(talk) 10:07, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- I get it. But how you were able to redirect the diff page to the article? Sincerely, Masum Reza☎ 10:59, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps the /64 should be blocked, instead of just this instance. I see previous instances of problems. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:28, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- I don't do rangeblocks. Too much collateral damage in my view. If you strongly think a range block is needed, you can ask at ANI. -- Alexf(talk) 19:31, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- A /64 subnet on an IPv6 address is allocated to a single user (in most cases) and blocking the /64 is no different than blocking a single IPv4 IP with regard to collateral (again, in most cases). The same range, used by the same editor, has been blocked repeatedly since January 2018. I have reset the block for six months.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:43, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- A /64 on an IP6 address is a single MAC address; whether that's a single computer, router, or modem depends on configuration. It may be wider than a single IP4 address, but not wider than an automatically switched cluster of IP4 addresses. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- I stand corrected then. -- Alexf(talk) 20:25, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Since I'm the admin who protected (and unprotected) the article yesterday, I wish you would have consulted with me first. El_C 16:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- @El C: Did not notice until after it was done. You are correct. I saw vandalism in a current event. We can unprotect if you feel it is warranted. -- Alexf(talk) 16:42, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. I feel it is warranted, so I have done so. It is the first entry on the Main Page ITN — and two or three instances of vandalism are to be expected. El_C 16:49, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular
![]() |
Administrators must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.
|
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:19, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Himisaboo, World's Ugliest Dog People's Choice Award 2018
I'm not sure where to ask, so if this isn't the correct place, please let me know who to contact.
There is a notation that my edit was removed for advertising. Is there a way to challenge that? I read other descriptions and felt it was in line with those. For example, the details of Dane and Rascal are far more descriptive.
Can I add anything starting Himisaboo's win? Or is simply not going to be included on this page?
Thank you, Heather wilson Himisaboo (talk) 02:38, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Richard Gizbert
Hi you reverted a correction on Richard Gizbert’s Early life bio. He is not in a relationship with that filmmaker anymore. He is single and using his Facebook as a source isn’t accurate as he has removed his status there and all images of his ex. He has not been in a relationship with that filmmaker since October 2018. Blelalersitre13 (talk) 04:38, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Question
Hey I was just wondering if people don’t like new users like Me (am I allowed to edit talk pages) Please don’t ban me if im not supposed to be editing this
- Who said people don't like new users? Not so. We want new users. We need good editors to help. What we do not need is vandals, and people that are not here to help with the Project. Asking a question as you did, is legit. There is no reason to block for this; (note that banning is a different concept). If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Tea House. Please remember to sign your posts in Talk with four tildes at the end. -- Alexf(talk) 09:45, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Request
Hi, could you kindly protect my talk page? It has been under attack by a long term abuser named "Manda Langsa". Thanks. Mimihitam (talk) 15:38, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- I see only one user (persistent vandal) has been blocked. Still want it? I am reticent to protect talk pages unless there is absolute need and then for a short period. Will watchlist page to keep an eye for vandalism. -- Alexf(talk) 17:25, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Draft:Sotero Cabahug
Hi, the page Sotero Cabahug was previously deleted by you for copyright infringement. I'm recreating the article on my draft page as he was also former Governor of the province of Cebu, Philippines.Verbosmithie (talk) 12:25, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- That was deleted in 2011. It was mainly a copy from government websites. If you can do a good job, a start at least, following the golden rule, then I see no problem. -- Alexf(talk) 21:03, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline and the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. Toddst1 (talk) 00:52, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Toddst1: Not aware but it is in the article for Herman Wouk and properly referenced. All entries in that page (May 17) do not have direct references, but they are all pointing to articles, that a) make the subject notable, and b) the articles contain the proper references. This is daft. Do you start removing entire pages content for the date when no direct sources added, or do I? -- Alexf(talk) 00:54, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Deleted Page BillyBridge
I apologise for creating the reason my page was deleted. I only intended to show the Yallourn page how we'd incorporated the footage of old Yallorn into my clip.
It wasn't my intent to self promote just to share the footage.
Am i ok to recreate my Bllybridge Wiki?
Billy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billybridge (talk • contribs) 01:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Billybridge: No, it is not. Autobiographies are strongly discouraged. Writing about yourself is a serious conflict of interest[. If you are notable and there are reliable sources, someone in time will write an article, but you should not be the one to do it. In fact, your userpage is already in violation. We take this as self-advertisement and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for promotion. In a nutshell Wikipedia is not about you, and an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Tea House. Lastly, always remember to sign your posts in Talk with four tildes at the end. -- Alexf(talk) 09:02, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
Draft deleted
I have had a message saying you have deleted the page Antonio Gaidon I was creating and have spent many years researching. Could you perhaps tell me how I can retrieve the page to re-edit. Many thanks. MasisaM (talk) 07:46, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- @MasisaM: The page you are referring to was Draft:Antonio Gaidon. It was deleted per CSD G12, a copyright violation of a website for this subject on treccani.it which clearly stats the material is copyrighted. The site is in Italian, but even a translation of it would still be copyrighted. If you can contribute material for this subject, please start a draft and have it reviewed. As long as it is not a copyvio, and it complies with the Golden Rule, then it should be fine. -- Alexf(talk) 10:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Since you previously blocked User:107.77.161.2 for persistent vandalism, I thought I'd let you know that their vandalism has resumed. I noted this on that IP's talk page. Nightscream (talk) 23:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Nightscream: Not necessarily the same user. It is a phone connection after all. Only one recent vandalism, so you know the drill. Warn and report to AIV when they reach Level 3 at least. Thanks. -- Alexf(talk) 00:10, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:29, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
RE: Did Dua Lipa REALLY Modeled Before Being a Musician?
You may or may not be familiar with her work but I had done this to MaranoFan's page back in April, s/he replied back to me that subject wasn't notable for that profession and ethnicity (Albanian born in Great Britain two days and three years after Demi Lovato and five months before Hennessy Carolina Cardi B's younger sister) cannot be included in opening sentence.
Took this to Lil-Unique1's page unfortunately no replies came in. So was she REALLY a fashion model to the likes of the Jenner sisters before becoming a singer/songwriter like in the leading sentence "English singer songwriter and retired fashion model" even though she is just 23.
And lastly, if you edited before the date(s) of 21 August 2015 researching her will come back with a did not match any documents message.
Best wishes,
174.44.147.27 (talk) 16:45, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- No idea who she is. As you did not leave a link to a particular edit I may or may not have done, I do not know what you are talking about. With hundreds or edits a week I can't remember all that was done. Maybe it was a revert of some vandalism? That would be all it was in a subject I do know know about. If you want me to comment on this, you must leave a link to a specific Diff of mine. -- Alexf(talk) 19:42, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
Onebigmonkey
Is this indef block of Onebigmonkey (talk · contribs) not a bit hasty?
They're a GF editor. The 62.60.63.139 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) who reverted their addition said as much. They have made one edit, to add an inlined EL to Bart Sibrel.
Now, was that a good edit? Maybe not. It's unlikely to pass WP:RS – but only because they're not high profile enough. If Brian Cox tweeted the same content, they'd be lauded for it. And yet it's a detailed analysis which precisley refutes Sibrel's claim – a goal which we're exactly in line with. Also, we're not required to meet WP:RS on every source used.
Was it misformatted? Of course. But that's easily fixable. Was it COI? Spam? Maybe. They added a link to their own site, no question. And yet, this was a long way from the pay-per-link commercial spammers we have a problem with. Spammers who we certainly can't get an immediate indef on, even when one is obviously required! Were any warnings issued first? Was there any attempt to discuss anything with this editor first? No.
This does not justify an indef. Not for a single incident. Not for that change. Neither aspect justifies it. Please reconsider this block. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:49, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Andy Dingley:. Ok, you may have a point. I take a dim view of people spamming their website, so I told him what happened and unblocked. Page has been watchlisted. Let's see how they go from here. -- Alexf(talk) 17:41, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
FYI It's spam - See User_talk:331dot/Archive_7#avi for the same message I left for another admin (who then blocked the account in question).--Cahk (talk) 12:16, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

User:Shawnthebomb
This user's username violates the username policy. Also, how many edits (where all are vandalism) is enough to identify a VOA? I'm a bit skeptical that this user is a VOA but not the fact that his username isn't appropriate.211.26.200.179 (talk) 09:55, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- Name is not the issue. Vandalism is and he is blocked already. VOA depends on intent and edits. How many? Depends on the case. If you have any questions, please ask at the Tea House as I'm out the door. -- Alexf(talk) 10:52, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
Berthe de Courriere
I am not sure how to reply directly to your message so I am also pasting here. Regarding the edit on Berthe de Courriere
I edited a link to an external blog that was already there to a site which plagiarized my original article which is quoted heavily in this wiki without attribution. I had the plagiarized blog removed (https://www.metacenterchicago.com/2017/04/12/flowers-evil-satanic-feminists-bohemian-paris-berthe-de-courriere-adult-content/?fbclid=IwAR09mR8XvIAPsxE3hRkXUELmnpEqC0TTHWnUaN9dU97XtWg9OtcmNFwat7U) and updated it to my original article. My article linked at ledespencer.com is also published in French translation in the book
"Berthe de Courrière - Les Amateurs de Remy de Gourmont". www.remydegourmont.org (in French). Retrieved 9 February 2019.
which is also cited in the wikipedia article. The article was originally published in 2016 on dirgemag.com which is now defunct but you can find the archive.org source.
It is not an extraneous link it is the source your users have been writing from.

Hi there - I've had a request from this user on the #wikipedia-en-help regarding the article that was created by them and deleted. Understanding that they've been blocked, is it possible you could provide me a view of the deleted content, so I can explain to them why it was deleted/they were blocked? Thanks in advance. Steven Crossin 11:02, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Steven Crossin: It was an advertisement for their company that matches the username. I realize now the original deletion reason was in error and fixed it. Tell them they have a notice in their user page explaining the reason for their block and how to go about requesting an unblock or change of name. Also please explain the rules against advertising and if they are employees of the company they must register and declare as paid editors which is mandatory and they failed to do. Thanks for your help. -- Alexf(talk) 11:26, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Yep, thanks, I figured as much and already did so - I asked for an excerpt from them and it was pretty clear advertising. Guided them to ask for a rename/unblock if they wanted to try editing once more under a new name, the notability/COI policy, and the article draft process so they could propose an article and be independently reviewed by someone else. Cheers. Steven Crossin 11:28, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Quick question
Hi Alexf, I noticed something strange with a declined speedy you did. Your declined speedies are set to go to a namespace list, e.g. User:Example/List of declined speedies. As currently configured, they go to User:Wifione's namespace, namely User:Wifione/List of declined speedies. Is this intentional? Maybe a bug with the script you're using? If your declined speedies are meant to go there, no worries. I figure you'd want it in your namespace. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention if it wasn't intentional. Best regards, Jip Orlando (talk) 21:11, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Jip Orlando: Interesting. I did not know as I seldom do declines. It must be something in the script. Thanks. Will have to look into it. -- Alexf(talk) 21:25, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Moving a page
Hi. Since you are one of the administrators, I thought you would be able to move this page for me. The title that I wanted to move it to already exists as a redirect, yet it seems to be the accurate title based on the album's cover and name on Apple Music. There's also no existing discussion or RM on the article's talk page. Could you move the page to "Aacayipsin"? Keivan.fTalk 06:10, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Done -- Alexf(talk) 08:56, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- I'm just going to ask for another favor. This page seems to have the same problem. The title that I wanted to move it to, which is the artist's first name, is a redirect to the current page; however, it appears to be the common name based on her pages on social media and music platforms. Could you also perform this move and change the title to "Karsu", please? Thank you. Keivan.fTalk 01:05, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

- Am in the process of doing it. -- Alexf(talk) 17:34, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- I caught that after I typed this :-) Many thanks. MarnetteD|Talk 17:35, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
Deletion of Parliamentary Candidate for Next Election
User Alexf, deleted the entry for the Brexit Party's PPC in the Constituency of Esher and Walton, entered by user:axel Thill. These entries for upcoming election where started by Lib dems, now done by Conservatives, but only Brexit Party gets deleted. This must be against neutrality of Wikipedia. Axel Thill is official Prospective Candidate of the Brexit Party, and should have the right to be mentioned here. Please undo the deletion. In many constituency pages you find these entries today (Devizes, Mole Valley, etc...). user: Axel Thill is trying hard to be compliant, but this deletion is against no rule - if the other parties are allowed to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axel Thill (talk • contribs) 14:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- You are incorrect. The edit in question was you spamming your own name. This is a conflict of interest and a violation or the external links rules. Please review those. Nobody said "there is no right to be there" as you put it. Just follow the rules. If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Tea House. -- Alexf(talk) 14:17, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
The Saturday Club
Hello! I'm a volunteer on the board of The Saturday Club and updated our Wikipedia page on 4 August 2019. Hoping the red link worked below. Can you please let me know the reasoning for deletion of our updated content? I worked with our board and communications team on that information, so I have to provide reasoning to my fellow board members about the deletion since we spent time working on it.
Thank you,

- The blocking notice was clear and detailed in explaining the reasons and what to do about it. There are several reasons actually. A blatant username violation, a serious conflict of interest. On top of that you are admitting working for them (another COI issue), and have not declared the mandatory relation. If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Tea House. -- Alexf(talk) 23:09, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
