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)

Canada lists

// There are a number of problems with the Canadian historic places lists. They include:

• provincial lists are too long (some are over 1,000 entries) and need to be split
• lists are not sorted, and are not sortable even by municipality, due to the way the address was dumped
• don't use {{coord}}, so can't use {{GeoGroup}} for mapping
• references numbers (into the CRHP) are sometimes inaccurate, and need to be verified
• the same place may be multiply designated (federal/provincial/municipal, sometimes multiple federal)
• there are missing entries due to the way the data was retrieved

I have no easy ideas on how to address the last point, so am focusing on the other items. What I'm doing is a multi-step process:

1. Fill out the municipality field in the {{HPC row}} templates and deleted the municipality (and redundant "Canada") from the address field (if no municipality is given, try going to the referenced CRHP entry to figure it out)
2. Sort entries by municipality and count entries to figure out how to split the list. This is generally along the lines of counties or their equivalent (some Canadian counties have been supplanted by regional municipalities, see the Nova Scotia list for examples); you'll have to figure out which counties places are in
3. Split the big list; I've not been explicitly seeking consensus, but if the history indicates it might be needed, best check for it. The remaining steps are then done to each sublist.
4. Validate that the id numbers actually link to the proper CRHP listing. If they don't, find the right one by searching the CRHP (every listing I've seen with a wrong id was listed under a different one)
5. Merge duplicated listings where possible (it isn't if there is more than one federal designation, for example, but provincial and municipal listings can be merged into those)
6. Sort the list by primary alpha words (see the Nova Scotia or PEI lists for examples)
7. Change references to {{HPC row}} to {{HPC rowt}}, which uses {{coord}}. This requires changing "lat" and "lon" to "latd" and "longd", and changing the sign on the longitude. (IMHO the last is lame, but the template was already in use on several lists before I took this on)
8. Make sure municipality names are linked (I usually do this in conjunction with one of the other passes, and don't worry about redlinks)
9. If the name field contains pipe links, add "namea" field containing just the name, otherwise the coordinate field gets screwed up
10. Add {{GeoGroup}} and a locator map to the top of the list

I have done this for Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI (almost done), and am starting in on New Brunswick. Others have previously done work on the Canadian territory lists (Yukon, Northwest, Nunavut, all fairly modest in length), and those for British Columbia and Saskatchewan. This leaves Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec to do, where some splitting has been done, but little else.

Things this work does not do fix:

• making the list sortable by address, which would require adding sort keys to the municipality field so that the listings get sorted properly within municipality (see {{sort}})
• making the list properly sortable by name (I tried putting sort keys in the name field, and it caused problems with the coordinates)

Did I mention this is tedious work? Thanks for helping! Magic♪piano 20:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanations. I will have a look at Alberta tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:56, 22 August 20/13 (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 @Multichill: 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)

ARA Libertad

I have one revert, the first edit was to remove a dubious claim. I have engaged on the talk page. Your warning is misplaced. I request that you self-revert, this is getting to the point where my next step is WP:ANI. You can take that statement as my warning I will do so. WCM_email 08:15, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Well, one more revert at your side, and WP:3RR will be counting how many reverts exactly you have made.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:17, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Do I take your statement to be an intent to revert on sight and restore fringe material and a refusal to self-revert. WCM_email 08:19, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Please take it as one more warning. I will first get you blocked, and then see whether I need to revert. The material is nopt fringe, and even if it were, it is not an exemption of WP:3RR--Ymblanter (talk) 16:31, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Did you understand what I am saying; I am asking to edit this page according to this way. I would ask you to edit pages 2011 in film and 2012 in film in this way.

I already replied and made very clear that (i) I am not going to do this; (ii) you should try to discuss at talk pages, something you are apparently unwilling to do. Please stop posting here. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I've found your comment on my talk page. I reply here, as maybe you can't check it again. I was just trying yo adjust the Brescia line as it was not appearing right in the table, when I've tried to save it correctly with all the Brescia data correct and at the right place, it appeared a message of overediting or something like that, so I stopped editing.

Your edit summary is incomprehensible. Both Bishonen and Liz have looked into this, two highly respected administrators. You should not be throwing allegations of socking around without providing evidence. 81.147.142.137 (talk) 12:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Since I protected the article, I am obviously not going to be involved with its content, in particular, with the current dispute.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:04, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

The work is not "lost" – it's all still kept in the revision history. On the other hand, repasting the entire contents of the article to the Talk page, as you have essentially done, may be considered "disruptive". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

SPI

I am considering going to SPI regarding... a certain situation and a user whose name I can not type. This was suggested on their talk page. Do you believe that it is worth it? Thanks, GAB^Hello! 20:13, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Given that the sockmaster is not blocked, I do not think it can lead to anything except for a block of a possible user with two edits. They did not even formally break any policy - it is not prohibited to edit while logged out, they did not team-revert, and their unblock conditions is a matter of two admins who are watching their talk page. I think the user just still have very little understanding what Wikipedia is for, and this will lead to the reinstatement of an indefinite block pretty soon.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:48, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the sound advice. I probably shouldn't jump the gun. Furthermore, on a different note, we are seeing very nasty comments on Americans for Legal Immigration, and our patience is wearing thin. So I would appreciate your advice in this case, too. Best, GAB^Hello! 22:57, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Need some help

Dear Yaroslav, I'm asking you to pay attention to the edits made by the vandal Yura2404, who was constantly making false claims and trying to exaggerate Russian casualties in WWI-related articles by cherry-picking sources and citing books and websites that didn’t support his words (for a discussion of his vandalism, see [1], [2], [3]). For example, in "Baranovichi Offensive" he put the number of Russian casualties at “80,000 KIA, WIA, MIA” and gave a reference to Залесский К. А. Кто был кто в Первой мировой войне. — М:Астрель. АСТ, 2003. — p. 699 (in Russian). However, there is not even a single mention of those “80,000 KIA, WIA, MIA” on p. 699 or elsewhere. In "Lake Naroch Offensive" he estimated the Russian casualties at 150,000, pointing to another Russian source, namely Оськин М. В., Брусиловский прорыв, М., 2010, p. 7, despite the fact that it actually puts the casualties at 80,000 (p. 8), not even close to 150,000. In "First Battle of the Masurian Lakes" he added a sentence saying that “[the] Russians suffered a crushing defeat and retreated in disarray with massive losses” and left a reference to Spencer C. Tucker, The European Powers in the First World War: An Encyclopedia, 2013, p. 232. However, p. 232 says that “Rennenkampf finally disengaged under cover of a two-division counterattack, thereby preventing a second German double envelopment” instead of “retreated in disarray”. In "Siege of Przemyśl" the same vandal estimated the casualties sustained by the Russian army at "115,000 total casualties (40,000 casualties were sustained in the first few days of the siege)", pointing to the following link: [4] (in Hungarian). Once again, I checked his source, only to find out that it doesn't contain this overall number. So far, the vandal has damaged multiple articles and it will take a lot of time for others to improve them. Although he was warned on the Administrators' noticeboard in July, he is still willing to make changes to "Battle of Kursk". Eriba-Marduk (talk) 21:42, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I am afraid there is very little I can do. I would say the best strategy is first to try to talk to them at their talk page, and if it does not help take it to ANI citing these arguments.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine

I is not sure that adding 2015 information about the state of reforms in Ukraine and its economics in History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine is a good thing.... Especially since information about the state of reforms in Ukraine and its economics prior to this year is missing in History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine. A lot is missing in History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine.... History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine is supposed to be a small summary; adding very detailed current information in it does not make sense to me. That is for other Wikipedia articles like economy of Ukraine. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 15:26, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I am open on this, but when I came to that article the 2014-2015 part looked like a selection of randomly added sentences. I tried to make it more ordered, added the elections of Poroshenko (who prior to my edits was not even mentioned in the article) and a couple of more things. In my view, this is an overview article, and say in 2030, if Wikipedia survives until then, it should briefly discuss the 2014 events and the aftermath - whether the reforms which started were successful. Obviously, we do not know yet, but as for now, everything I could find confirms the summary of the Bloomberg opinion piece - that the reforms are basically stalled and the economy is on the verge of collapse. I have never seen a different opinion except from the parties clearly affiliated with Ukrainian government. If such opinions exist, they must clearly be added in the article. However, I feel that at this point (December 2015) some one-line summary is already needed, and since there is plenty of RS on this, I think it should stay in the article. Again, I am open on this, and please by all means feel free to reformulate if you think it is POV or does not express the sources.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Agree! I added some stuff about the presidency's of Leonid Kravchuk, Leonid Kuchma, Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych and the state of human rights and economics in Ukraine. This added to your additions about 2015/2015 state of reforms in Ukraine and its economic the section is starting to make some sense. More could be done, but I am just not such an enthusiastic Wikipedian as before 2014.... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:22, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Problematic user

CharlesBradlaughSociety (talk · contribs), who you recently blocked for edit warring, clearly represents a group, which isn't allowed. I was wondering how you intend to handle this? (Call it a new admin learning experience.) They've been notified of the problem but not taken any action. BethNaught (talk) 18:58, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

They clearly do not get it, possibly because they do not understand what Wikipedia is (may be they do not even know what the talk page is). To enable us to do smth, they must respond in some way at their talk page. If they do not, but instead continue after the block expires, they are likely to be blocked again, and at some point they will just get indeffed.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

The return

Hey Ymblanter, (did you read my mail btw?) This editorially disruptive user's been violating WP:3RR before (remember that ANI section I made for which admin action never arrived?),[5]-[6]- and now he's at it warring again, with a loaded battleground edit summary, reverted numerous users and editing with a agenda loaded pov.[7]-[8]. I have tons more of diffs if needed, let me know. - LouisAragon (talk) 19:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I responded about an hour ago. If the editor keeps reverting, this is the matter for WP:3RRN.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:16, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I am removing unsourced pan-Iranian imperialistic propaganda that you inserted in articles. The information had to be sourced when it was inserted, not after the fact. If you check the edit history of these pages, as well as the talk pages, the information had been challenged multiple times in the past, yet it remained unsourced and intact.--Damianmx (talk) 19:19, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

This Georgian user (if he really is) is making highly disruptive edits and personally motivated article moves on Georgia-related articles. He continues his edit wars on articles like Georgians, Prince Vakhushti of Kartli, Niko Pirosmani. He also makes conflicting moves on Prince Vakhtang-Almaskhan of Georgia and Society for the Spreading of Literacy among Georgians. This needs to stop as soon as possible. Jaqeli 21:28, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Since I was involved at some point, I can not block them myself. I guess ANI if the best option (unless there is an explicit violation of the 3RR), my experience is that after three or four motivated ANI requests disruptive users usually get blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:33, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Blocked them anyway for large-scale edit-warring, I was involved with Tbilisi and otherwise never interacted with the user,and they are edit-warring in the articles I never looked at.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:38, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks but 24h block methinks is a bit shorter block for him. I deeply believe his editing behavior would remain the same as I am not sure he will learn any lessons with this short block. Jaqeli 21:54, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

If they continue editing in the same way the issue had to be raised again. I do not see why the first block for edit-warring should be longer than 24h.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:03, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Ymblanter:; I just wanted to add to this convo between you and Jaqeli that its unfortunately not only edit warring btw (by far), but a pretty significant scale of disruptive (agenda)-loaded edits in general. This includes, but is not limited to;

• Specifically targeting anything that links Georgia and Iran, ties which are historically extremely important for both, and which includes the blanket removal of anything that connects the two; [9]-[10]-[11]-[12]-[13]-[14]-[15]-[16]

• Calling other Wikipedia users who have partial Iranian ancestry as "invaders" of Georgia; “(…) Persians did a great amount of pillaging, massacring and destruction and nothing makes you better or more related to Georgia than any other conqueror that has crossed their path.”)

• Fake edit summaries (can link more of such); (no consensus was ever reached)-[17]

• Specifically targeting Iran (can link tons more of such); [18]-[19]

• More Battleground-type of comments; [20]

• Wikihouding; [21]-[22]

And thats just the tip of the iceberg regarding the mere two weeks this account is active here. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:38, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

This could be a good case for ANI, but only after the user has been warned at their talk page of the existence of all the policies they seem to break.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:19, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Archiving, not deleting

I recently noticed this edit in which you deleted the protected/declined. There's the rolling archive, which if you want to manually archive them (which is suggested not to by a hatnote) then you should move it there, not delete it.

This is my fault. I was looking for this note but somehow was under impression they are just deleted. Will try to repair it now. Thanks, and also happy New Year.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:51, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia threat

What do you think of this. Personally I feel like it's simply vandalism, but I appreciate comments. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 13:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Looks like vandalism, but since it is at AN anyway, somebody would deal with it.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:47, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

I already reverted it. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 13:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for protecting the List of deaths in rock and roll article. That IPv6 user had already vandalized the hell out of the page, as well as adding unsourced infomation and possibly false information, and. irrelevant additions. Cheers. 2602:304:CDC0:D470:C07B:65AE:97D4:9298 (talk) 19:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Sure, no problem--Ymblanter (talk) 19:06, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

User:Shivanshsinghrajpoot

You blocked this editor, and I see he's been blocked before. Could you take a look at the history of Government Polytechnic Soron Kasganj? I tightened up the article, including removing his name from both the list of students and the caption space in the infobox, but numerous IPs have been restoring some of the stuff I removed - and some that I condensed and moved to another place in the article. If the IPs are not him, I imagine they are his friends. The thing is, he/they are not doing any favors for the institution, in my view, with such trivia. I also cleaned up several of his other articles, and I'm concerned that unless he comes to understand the reason why I and others make such changes, he will continue to create very poor articles. I wrote him a note on his user talk after the first such IP appeared after his block. Maybe you disagree with some of my thinking, including with some of my changes to the articles; I'd also like to get someone else to look at them, to make sure I am not being overly harsh. Maybe on the other hand you can get him to listen so he does something more useful, like looking for sources. Thanks for reading this rambling statement, anyway :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 13:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

I semi-protected the article for three weeks for persistent disruptive editing and I am prepared to protect it again if disruption continues. Adding the list of students is definitely over the top. I suspect the IPs are the same user evading the block, but I am not good at filing SPIs (and I believe CUs will never comment on the correspondence between IPs and a registered user). Anyway, now they have to go to the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:43, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

User:GeorgiaWikiWriter

Hello Ymblanter,

I have warned User:GeorgiaWikiWriter several times because of his disruptive editing and edit wars. He was also warned by @Flyer22 Reborn: and @Kunalforyou: but he ignored us all. I believe he is a pure vandal that should be blocked indefinitely. One of the last edits he made was on Westboro Baptist Church calling it "a group of fucking morons." His behavior needs to be addressed asap. Thanks. Jaqeli 16:02, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
