I took a glance at WP:RFPP, and there is a user asking for something to be protected (obviously). However, they also release their username and password. Can you or another admin revdel that and block/lock the account as compromised? I don't think anyone knowing a users password will let that account be stable. That account's future is in an oblong box of trolls able to take advantage of it. right here. ☩(Babysharkboss2)15:39, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I partially blocked that range, which likely has many different users. I don't think the test edits to that talk page are related to the editor targeted by the partial block. I've warned the recent IP editor. OhNoitsJamieTalk21:08, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
you have blocked a large IP range which is part of an IP block belonging to a Slovenian telecommunications company (https://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/si.html). Due to this, a large number of users using mobile data are blocked, despite not having edited anything on Wikipedia before. 92.37.79.117 (talk) 12:10, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Talk page watcher) Users are free to edit from that IP address range, they must simply sign in to their account. If they don't have an account, one may be created for them via WP:ACC. --Yamla (talk) 12:18, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Might be the same user, but I'm not 100% sure. In the case of the IP, they are not a vandal per se, but were being very belligerent and abusive when anyone questioned/challenged their edits, which is why I added the filters; e.g., they call someone a name, get a /64 block, then make the same edits from another IP. If it is the same person, I'm OK with them creating an account for accountability as long as they collaborate appropriately with other editors without resorting to attacks. However, I haven't been following them too closely; another editor or admin may disagree with me and want to block that account, which I am OK with. OhNoitsJamieTalk19:49, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The cited USA Today article is incorrect. I explain in the linked Talk topic.
I can provide Yearbook photos to verify.
I found a local newspaper story from August 1987. Philip is quoted in the story, and they list his age as 13. That, combined with Bruno Mars wishing him a Happy Birthday on July 17th, would make his birthday July 17, 1974.
On Namudag Raj I saw that you blocked User:Oficialhistory602, on the same page is another user literally called User:Officialhistory601 (not blocked) and just recently a user named User:Offohistogram popped up, editing one of Oficialhistory602s drafts Draft:Surpur, editing two articles where Oficialhistory602 added something regarding Namudag Raj and it getting removed, and editing Namudag Raj. Maybe I'm just worrying over nothing, but I'll admit my weirdness sensor got pinged. I guess what I'm asking for is a another pair of eyes looking over this and if something should be done (SPI, something else idk) Trim02 (talk) 14:53, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ohnoitsjamie, it's been seven years since you placed this article under semi-protection due to apparent vandalism and this protection request. Looking at your overall protection log on 2 April 2018, you also semi-protected four other articles for apparently the same reason, however those protections were set to expire in six months, but not this one. Was this an oversight, or did you actually intend to protect this article indefinitely? BriDash9000 (talk) 09:50, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think that was an oversight. I try to only protect things indefinitely if the article (1) is an obvious long-term vandal magnet or (2) has history of increasing temporary protections; neither appears to apply in this case. I'll unprotect it and see how it goes. OhNoitsJamieTalk13:51, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
hey so I've seen you've dealt with "2600:387:15:1D13:0:0:0:7" before? could you block them from editing the reptile zoo page? sorry i dont know the correct way to go around that still pretty new to wikipedia
also semi related, could you point me in the direction on how to get that page semi protected? this is the 3rd time its been vandalised the past few days (to the point this IP could also be a sock puppet to Brewe108 but i have no evidence)
anyways thanks in advance for any help you can provide, sorry if I've contacted you over something i shouldn't off HCPM (talk) 21:31, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That IP is from a very large IP range with many different users. At the moment, it has some partial blocks; those prevent users from that range from editing certain articles. We do fully block large ranges sometimes if there's too much disruption from them; this particular range is borderline; there's a mix of good faith and disruptive edits. Regarding The Reptile Zoo, that range has only edited that article once. I've removed your claims of "abuse" because that violates our original research policy; that is, it's your interpretation of a video. OhNoitsJamieTalk12:51, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How is someone meant to provide evidence of it? nobody is writing a paper on something that is clearly abuse, if there is a video of someone hitting a dog nobody is going to write a paper about its so is that not usable as evidence for abuse? like what is the correct way to go about this? (also apologies if this isnt formatted correctly) HCPM (talk) 16:15, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But the issue is that the company purposely hides and removes the infomation, they commit blantant animal abuse and yet there is nowhere that speaks on it outside of dicussions in youtube videos and reddit which cant exactly be used as evidence can it? and also if you look at the articles praising it... those people have no expertise in reptiles what so ever, one article praising him is from someone who is an expert in "AI and Robotics" like? but I do see your point i just kinda.. want to know what can be done to change this? does it just have to stay this way until someone makes something that be used as a source? sorry for all this btw if its annoying its just.. something so clear cut cant be spoken about due to lack of written sources? its just disheartening i suppose HCPM (talk) 19:31, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX; there is nothing to be done about your issue with this business on Wikipedia. You'll see that Reddit and Youtube are clearly categorized as not reliable sources on WP:RSP. I'm not discussing this further with you. OhNoitsJamieTalk20:04, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey — I noticed you added a new block (which will run concurrently with my block) to 88.156.215.58(talk· contribs · IP contribs ·WHOIS) instead of 'changing block parameters' (as normally happens when reblocking a user/block-conflicting via Twinkle or another tool). Was this intentional? If not, this might indicate a slight bug in how adding new blocks vs. modifying a current block is handled now that multiblocks are enabled here. Many thanks! — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 12:39, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After I made the block I noticed that you'd blocked the IP at about the same time; are you sure it added it concurrently? The current timestamp is still 3 days from now. I have a feeling the devs will need to tweak the new interface a bit now that it's in wider use. OhNoitsJamieTalk13:00, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Special:Block/88.156.215.58 shows two currently active blocks (that is, two blocks running together concurrently) — did you set the block directly on Special:Block or by using a tool? (I personally used Twinkle, which probably does need some updates to make things a bit clearer now). Sorry for all the questions, just wanting to stamp out any little remaining bugs as soon as possible :-) — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 13:11, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't give any advanced notice before deleting and salting Jack Welsh. I went to the "discussion" page, and all of the comments were from 2020. I left my own replies on comments that I then realized weren't even about me.
Things have changed since 2020. Just do a google search for the man. He pops up in dozens of newspapers and magazines. I'm not connected with this subject, I don't really care all that much, but this process of just deleting a page SIMPLY BECAUSE it has been deleted in the PAST seems contrary to logic to me. Things change. That's the nature of time, that's how time works. Guylaen (talk) 04:30, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That article had been salted because of multiple recreations; which you have already discovered. That should've indicated to you that it was likely to be deleted again. You are welcome to use the WP:AFC process; in doing so, you'll want to note that it was previously deleted and salted. You'll need to convince reviewers that there is a signficant change in WP:DEPTH of coverage (vs getting mentioned in the news for stunts). OhNoitsJamieTalk11:58, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
South-east Asia media articles vandal
Hello! The anon user overtagging SE Asia media articles is back, editing at User:158.140.164.44. Their MO now seems to be adding dubious {{copyedit}} tags to random articles. I'm in the process of going through and reverting the worst of it. Jdcooper (talk) 11:38, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jamie, just to let you know, this user is back editing at User:~2025-34762-63. They have been adding {{copyedit}} and {{notability}} tags, mostly juuuust about warranted, but I'm keeping an eye on their edits in case they go rogue again. Jdcooper (talk) 14:04, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure about this one; might be the same user, but as you noted, the notability tags in this case are reasonable. I did adjust my edit filters a bit so they should notify me if they start doing more pointless tagbombing. OhNoitsJamieTalk14:26, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fairly certain it's the same user.. they're editing many of the same articles they used to, and they have a very distinctive style of edit summaries. But yeah, I'm hoping their editing has improved in the interim period. Jdcooper (talk) 14:57, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jamie. I'm not sure if this user: User:~2025-43378-18 is the same as the previous one (no edit summaries to compare), but they have just added {copyedit} tags to dozens of articles which don't seem to merit them. Also about Asian media topics. Jdcooper (talk) 00:52, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jamie you marked the Page "Aimsey" I've created earlier this morning for deletion and deleted it and I would love for you to restore it because I was still working on it.

HiimowoomgYT (talk) 13:04, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That page was already deleted per consensus here because it didn't come close to meeting our notability criteria. That version you created didn't include any reliable sources whatsover.

Jack Massey Welsh suggestion
[section name edited because I didn't notice the above]
I see that you just SALTedJack Welsh (YouTuber), which was an obvious workaround of the also-SALTed article using his full name, something which has been a recurring issue with his fans trying to create an article on him, as noted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Massey Welsh. Since that AfD, there have been sources that have appeared about him; however, they appear to fall short of ones needed for an article. He has been mentioned in the Guinness Book (see here), but Guinness is yellow-fielded at WP:RSP. He had a mainstream news article written about him last year in Metrohere which was picked up by numerous other publications such as the New York Post, but Metro is a tabloid, plus the article only covers a single video, not his body of work as a whole nor his influence on YouTube. It might have been appropriate to list him at List of YouTubers, but that requires entries with existing articles, bringing us back to square one.
I believe I have a compromise: He is mentioned, with ref, at TommyInnit#Internet career. Redirecting the two deleted articles above there would satisfy WP:TARGET and WP:RSURPRISE, and also discourage editors from trying to create a standalone article. With me not being an admin and you being the last one involved with this, I'm placing this idea here. Mapsax (talk) 02:48, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't rule that out, but I'm not quite convinced that it's necessary. For one, it's questionable as to whether he should even be mentioned at TommyInnit in the first place and secondly, existing edit filters should catch any attempts to circumvent those saltings. It's quite possible that Massey will eventually have enough WP:SIGCOV to meet notability guidelines, but that's not the case yet. OhNoitsJamieTalk12:27, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Before I respond, I should note that he knows about these discussions, even showing WP screenshots recently – see this video posted July 1 (roughly 3:20 to 4:45 with a long aside in the middle).
I did fail to mention that the ref in question at TommyInnit is also Guinness. (Speaking of potential sources, had I continued to examine WP:RSP, I would have seen WP:METRO and WP:NYPOST.) It's the ambiguity of Guinness and the lack of knowing whether something is paid or not that's complicating things. Even WP:RSPF doesn't help any (note the chart in the last section). There just seems to be just enough notability to keep this in mind as being noted somewhere on WP if only through objective numbers, which is why I figured that it was worth a second look as of late, though as you note not yet at least due to lack of WP:SIGCOV. I don't know, maybe I'm being persuaded too much by Guinness Book. WP:NODEADLINE, I've made my case, I'll hang back now. Mapsax (talk) 00:43, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I recently found out that my account has been stolen and I didn't have access to it. Meanwhile, someone edited a lot of pages using it, which lead to a ban signed by you. I regained control of the account, changed the password, now everything should be fine. If it is not much of a hastle I would appreciate coming back to the wiki society, healthily helping the community (of course if you are able to bring me back at all).
Thanks.
P#s. If you need any proof of my rightfulness, I also have an account on the Ukrainian wiki, which I used to create a couple of articles that have passed all checks and are live. If you need that, let me now. Timtim40a (talk) 12:56, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
does this affect me if my brother is permanently banned from any parts of wiki
He did some nsfw activities multiple times
I haven't done anything but he has and uses my device sometimes for "research purposes" i don't know what he used it for recently but I had to make an account that I use for school and I don't want my brother to affect me so
Assuming that you are being truthful, as long as you are the only person using this account you should be able to edit Wikipedia. If your "brother" were to use your account, it would be considered compromised and immediately blocked indefinitely. OhNoitsJamieTalk15:24, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Brother" why do you quote it and how would it quote be compromised
"Compromised" meaning if he uses your account. I quoted "brother" because I've heard the WP:BROTHER story a million times. Please don't message me again, I'm not interested in discussing this further. OhNoitsJamieTalk15:40, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. ( | )
hi Jamie, seeing you as a frequent editor on this so I thought I'd ask you directly; I experimented with updating some info on this page and attempted to cite official govt websites, which was reverted by another admin (which could've been in part bc i was goofing around previously and in the edit summary - my fault) with the explanation that i should seek perennial sources; in a separate edit, removing info with an old citation needed tag led to your partial restoration with a citation to an official govt website. im amenable to either approach, and obv better sources would be better, but whether to include info with this kind of source appears a little subjective and open to an editor's interpretation. in your view, would you find any part of this edit to be worth restoring to the page? Tfyt 70.226.13.3 (talk) 20:09, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any obvious problems with your edit above, though I don't see the list of communities served mentioned in any of the new sources you added; perhaps that was the "unsourced" part EditorShane3456 was referring to; you'd have to ask him. Why did you write "adding vandalism" as your edit summary? That, along with this edit which appears to be vandalism is going to draw more scrutiny to future edits from this IP. OhNoitsJamieTalk20:17, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ah ok I see what you mean - I reckon I pulled the list of communities from the GFD website's home page instead of the "about us" page I cited. I'll take a 2nd crack at it. Thanks 70.226.13.3 (talk) 20:24, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I sourced the change directly from interview from Kendrick where he says this - “I always said “Section 80” was just a warm-up for the story I’m trying to tell. “Section 80” was more about the people, my debut album will be more about me.” (Source)
This is from 2011 after it got released and before GKMC so its clear his intention was always for Section.80 to be a mixtape and GKMC to be his debut album.
On his feature on Power by Rapsody, he refers to TPAB as his second album - “My second LP had real niggas on POTUS lawn” (Referring to the cover art of TPAB)
Or on his own song Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst - “You wrote a song about my sister on your tape And called it Section.80”
The consensus that this is an album is purely because of the fact that people trust wikipedia and dont make their own research.

Would you mind taking a look at a situation? New user, User:NewJerseyFanatic2025 added a massive list of town to the lead of Jersey Shore with the simple line of “Largest cities in the region:.” When I reverted, explaining that lists don’t belong in the lead due to it being a summary of the article and that this is not the format lists are add in anyway, their response was to revert it back saying “Well, it's being added to the lead anyway.” Eight minutes later, they moved it out of the lead but it still remained in an improper format and was reverted once more. Their response was to, once again, revert back. It’s obvious by their immediate argumentative response that this user is WP:NOTHERE to collaborate or follow any sort of established guidelines.

I recently noticed that a while ago you reverted an edit of mine on the page "Fastest animals" in the mammals section, regarding the addition of the maned wolf to the list.
If top speed doesn't count, what could count to define an animal's speed? Or even how fast it is positioned relative to others? Cheetahs can reach up to 120 km/h in a race, but that's not their average speed (which is even rivaled by that of its prey), what makes it objectively faster is its top speed.
I explained the reason for the revert in the edit summary; the article is already too bloated as it is; it's not intended to be a list of every animal's speed. More importantly, "a-z-animals.com" is not likely to meet reliable sources criteria. Please take further discussion to the article's talk page. OhNoitsJamieTalk12:58, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just take a look. Am in the middle of trying to piece together what is going on... So many similarities, the editing is very compelling that it's our regular suspect.

While a new user editing this article is a little suspicious, I'm not 100% sure it's the same user. The changes they made to the lede were contructive. Regarding age changes, while the existing source for "Reva Cheryl Matney" says she was 7, several other sources I found say her name was Rita and she was 8 [3] (Lexington Herald-Leader), [4] (KENTUCKY NATIONAL GUARD
50th ANNIVERSARY REMEMBRANCE), which leads me to believe the current source is probably wrong (Rita is much more common than "Reva.") The remembrance source also says that Rosset was 27, not 26. For now I'm inclined to (cautiously) assume good faith. OhNoitsJamieTalk13:53, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

However, since you revdelled the usernames of the vandals, I should mention that their usernames are still visible in the edit summaries of the people who reverted them. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:35, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I cleaned those up. I don't want to waste too much time trying to scrub *all* of the graffiti, but I'll continue scrubbing the easy stuff. (Fun fact; in my old neighborhood, I did weekly graffiti walks and cleaned up IRL graffiti. It's oddly satisfying). OhNoitsJamieTalk19:41, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Guide to temporary accounts
Hello, Ohnoitsjamie. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.
Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.
How do temporary accounts work?
Editing from a temporary account
When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.
Temporary account IP viewer user right
How to enable IP Reveal
Administrators may grant the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right to non-administrators who meet the criteria for granting. Importantly, an editor must make an explicit request for the permission (e.g. at WP:PERM/TAIV)—administrators are not permitted to assign the right without a request.
Administrators will automatically be able to see temporary account IP information once they have accepted the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy via Special:Preferences or via the onboarding dialog which comes up after temporary accounts are deployed.
Impact for administrators
It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).
Rules about IP information disclosure
Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Enable the user info card
This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.
Could you please accept or deny some of the entires? It has been sitting for a week or so without getting tended to. There are categories like Tentacles/tentacle monsters in fiction that have 20+ examples just sitting there unvetted. I tried to do it myself, but idk if only users with a certain amount of edits can do it, as I saw no hub or anything that would let me. Godspeed!
You need to find a reliable source stating that the subject is known by that nickname. I see that a columnist in The Guardian calls him EBLJT, but only a single opinion piece jokingly mentions JT. WP:BLP policies require stronger sourcing than that.OhNoitsJamieTalk00:53, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you perchance recall what led you to sockblock this IP last year? Looking at your blocks around that time, and their edits around that time, I can't piece it together. (See their recent TA edits, which I can't link, for why I'm asking.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 21:02, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm having trouble remembering, but looking at the history and sequence of blocks it looks like it was a followup to a previous block; I may have been following up on an noticeboard posting. The IP's topic area isn't one I typically follow. In any cases, it's clearly the same wikilawyering user. OhNoitsJamieTalk21:11, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, no question it's the same person, but I'm trying to work out whether they're currently evading any block, or if it should just be handled as a regular user-conduct issue (which will be slightly complicated by the fact that no one can publicly cite their IP edits toward blocking the TA). Looking further, they had this false positive on a filter you maintain, which led EggRoll97 to edit the filter to remove the offending string. Perhaps that's what put them on your radar a day later, and they reminded you of someone. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 21:29, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted Edit Reasoning?
Good evening,
Earlier today I made an edit on the page for Matthew Stafford adding an NFL record he tied. It was reverted and I didn't see a reason listed. I've only made a handful of edits and this is the first one that's been reverted. Could you let me know what the problem was so I know for future edits?
Hey, could I ask what APK refers to and where it is discouraged to use in articles by the RSP? You removed it on the Dinotrux page, which I am trying to get to GA and the reviewer wants a merchandise section, which seems sensible. Also you removed toybook as well, do APK and toybook have connections which make toybook also unreliable? I am not insinuating that you did anything wrong, but was just asking to see whether a merchandise section can be sourced on it or not. Thank you, User:Easternsaharareview this21:01, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Links to APK downloads usually violate WP:EL, and are rarely usuable for citations. I have a filter that monitors additions of them as they are very frequently added by spammers. My removal of the entire section may have been a case of "throwing out the baby with the bathwater"; I'm OK with you partially restoring the Merchandising section along with the toybook.com reference, though you won't be able to restore the other link as that's subsequently been blacklisted.

Spamming by Ogipur
I see that you gave editor Ogipur (Special:Contributions/Ogipur) a warning for spam on December 2nd. I warned him as well, on December 10th, after another spammy addition to Nestlé Purina PetCare. I see that he has ignored these warnings, and again, on Dec 15 posted to Nestlé Purina PetCare with content like "Delicious meals for mischievous cats." and "high-quality ingredients, and is available in a wide variety of textures and flavors to delight even the most discerning palates."

Thanks
Hello, thanks for publishing the edit on my behalf at White Shark (novel). I tried 4 or 5 times, I think- different edit summaries, visual, source, added more text at times. I didn’t have the patience to go and report a false positive, though, and had given up on the page, seeing a popup with the word ”detected a pattern” and some sort of orange colour warning appear each time. Wikipedia is not going in the right direction, I guess if ”temporary users” cannot add New York Times book reviews to an article and receive messages like that instead. But thank you for your commitment and friendly approach. Have a good evening/day and best wishes. ~2025-43390-52 (talk) 22:35, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately there is an long-term abuse editor who shares your IP ranges, which is why those false positives kept triggering. I'm going to see if I can tweak the filter to make it a little less sensitive. You'd be able to avoid that if you created an account (though I understand that not everyone wants to do that).
There are articles that present narrow points of view and are protected by guardian editors who monitor them and revert changes within hours. An email to User:HJ Mitchell produced a comment that I hadn't given enough information, but nothing on what information was expected. If nothing can be done, how can I identify guarded pages so I won't waste time editing them or responding to COI edit requests?
Additions get the same treatment as revisions. Entries to the talk pages are either ignored or trigger personal attacks. A request for a third opinion produced one comment, "this is obviously political" from a disinterested editor and a torrent of abuse from the guardian editors. Nothing more happened. Two posts to a noticeboard got a a reviewer who sounded more like a judge, closing them for procedural defects and then saying "this process is voluntary" and was obviously not agreed to by the guardian editors.
I see that you are already aware of WP:DR; I'm not sure what you're expecting from me here. You're asking a question ("how can I identify guarded pages") that I think you already know the answer to (there is no such thing as "guarded pages.") Contentious pages are more likely to be watched by many users. My efforts here are largely focused on vandalism and spam remediation, but I occasionally weight in on content disputes, and I don't "win" all of those disputes. You make your best argument, and if you don't get a consensus for your changes, you move on. OhNoitsJamieTalk19:24, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
consideration for removal of a warning on a wikipedia page
Hello Ohnoitsjamie,
a few days ago I received a warning from you over a dispute between myself and another Borgenland. I assume you can see the discussion that was resolved and removed on the admin noticeboard page with the admin closing it and suggesting that future discussions take place on the talk page of the Sudanese civil war (2023–present).
I would like to ask for consideration of the warning removal because as I have discussed with Borgenland in the admin noticeboard page, I was not aware of what qualified as OR and Synthesis. There were some nuances I was uncertain of and it was a genuine mistake. At the end of the discussion, I was able to have a much better understanding of it. I cannot see this discussion anymore since the admins have removed it after we resolved it, but I think you can.
The other reason why I'd like to ask for consideration is because I have been very open to discussing and feedback as you can probably see from discussions with other editors and admins for other articles.
I believe the assumption that Borgenland mentioned of me purposely vandalizing the page and doing recklessly sourced edits is a bit harsh and overshadows the other contributions I've made on that page. I am very receptive to feedback and discussion. As you can probably see from the other edits I did on the Sudanese civil war (2023–present), everything was thoroughly sourced, credible and I believe adhered to the guidelines of Wikipedia. I feel focusing on that one mistake with the United States section is unfair, when compared to the other sections I helped expand upon. I only wish that the situation regarding the Sudan article was brought up on that talk page first and that good faith was assumed.
My request is because there are other parts of Sudanese civil war (2023–present) that I would like to contribute to this again in the next few weeks, but I am a little concerned with how things escalated so quickly. I understand the vigilance is due to this page being semi-protected, but I just hope that when I do contribute again, I am given the fair chance to discuss it on the article page first before automatically being blocked, especially if the issue was easily resolved through discussion.
As you can also see from my talk page. I was even a little confused when reading the comments on it, even mistaking it for a different topic than the Sudan page.
I'm not going to remove the warning because it was relevant at the time it was given. If you feel like you now have a better understanding of WP:NOR that's great. You can avoid being blocked by not violating WP:NOR and by following BRD cycle, and using article talk pages to get consensus for contentious material. Also note that you are free to remove most messages from your talk page per WP:OWNTALK; delete material still exists in your talk page history if someone needs to review that. OhNoitsJamieTalk20:05, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
User: Ohnoitsjamie
I understand. My concern though is more if in the future I make an edit, but rather than another editor discussing it with me on talk page first, will I automatically banned?
Me removing a warning has no bearing on whether or not you get blocked in the future. Given that you've acknowledged our WP:NOR policy and responded to feedback, I think it's highly unlikely you would be immediately blocked without another warning. If you are particularly worried about an edit to a contentious topic, you can always suggest it on the article's talk page first. OhNoitsJamieTalk20:50, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
User: Ohnoitsjamie
Okay thanks for clarifying. I was mainly worried that the warning somehow flagged my account or something of that sort. Yes, if ever I am uncertain about an edit in the future, I will bring it up as well on the talk page.
Hi! I've noticed that User:BISHA ME DY KOKA has made lots of edits consisting of adding and removing a full stop over and over. Is it possible for you to pre-emptively revoke autoconfirmed, since to me it looks like they have been gaming it?
Could be gaming, though they didn't immediately edit a semi'd page like most pgamers do. I gave them a gentle warning nonetheless, because it's still disruptive to crap up the edit history of articles. Oh, to answer your question, I don't believe it's possible to pre-remove; usually when we catch people gaming semi, we wait for them to hit 500, remove it, then tell them they can request extended-confirmed after they've made 500 real edits. OhNoitsJamieTalk20:30, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you reverted my edit to MoroccanOil 15 minutes after it was made. Is that related to my request relating Non-NPOV articles, above? My edit was explained on the talk page 24 hours in advance of the edit. Shouldn't you comment on the talk page and gain consensus before making a reversion? Your comment explains that the original is "more neutral." Is that required by a Wikipedia policy, or were you referring to WP:NPOV? Julian in LA (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
After you messaged me here, I looked at some of your other recent edits to get a better sense of what the issue was. Wikipedia strives to be as neutral as possible (neutrality is one of the guiding principles of Wikipedia), and changing "Controversy" to "Anti-Zionism" was not an improvement in terms of neutrality, so I restored the previous version. OhNoitsJamieTalk23:29, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not interested in the topic areas you're editing and as I said before there is no such thing as a "guardian editor." If you are having a dispute with another editor, take it to one of the available dispute resolution forums. OhNoitsJamieTalk02:19, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Even though your trying to remove my edits, the edit I did was not wrong, I'm not vandalizing, if I ask you one thing, that is not to revert my edits and ask other people to not revert my edits (nicely), all I want is to be a part of this special community. Sincerely,

Hello! I am writing because I am interested in adding the Super Carlin Brothers to the notable alumni page on Cave Spring High School. Wait! Before you sigh and stop reading, I ask that you hear me out. I believe I have found sufficient evidence to finally end the back and forth once and for all. I've noticed that in the past you are the editor to be convinced of their notoriety. Every previous attempt has been reverted (To which I agree, rightfully so). Sufficient evidence has not yet been provided, per Wikipedia's terms of verifiability and reliable sources. I write to you here rather than attempt an edit myself, as I have never actually edited an article here on Wikipedia. I figured it would make more sense to discuss with a seasoned editor first, rather than attempt a change I could still be misunderstanding.
The source I would like to direct you to comes from the Virginia General Assembly. In March of 2024, The Carlin Brothers were commended with House Joint Resolution No. 367. The representatives in both the House and Senate commended the brother's creativity, reach, fan base, organizational efforts, charitable contributions, and the advocation / funding for the maintenance of outdoor spaces in Virginia. The resolution concludes with the paragraph:
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Jonathan and Benjamin Carlin, creators of Super Carlin Brothers, as an expression of the General Assembly's admiration for their incredible achievements in business and social media and outstanding contributions to the Roanoke community.
Thank you for taking the time to read my findings. I commend you for your fierce advocation for facts here on Wikipedia. I look forward to hearing back, regardless of your agreement or disagreement with my proposal.

Your method of blocking huge IP ranges just because one user messed up looks seriously outdated. Plus, you're penalizing all of us who actually use the service and create content.
A lot of us are on mobile services and networks with dynamic IPs, etc.
Blocking whole networks based on the IP space like this is genuinely amateur in today's blocking setup.
I tried using a VPN connection to Germany and tried again from there. Same result
a massive IP range flagged because of some random person's bad wiki behavior.
I strongly recommend you update your blocking methods. An IP isn't a person; it's not guilty—unless, based on the data,
it's a smaller range that belongs to a company via Whois. Then maybe you could consider a mask block.
If you're talking about this block, that's a partial block that prevents users from that range editing a small handful of articles; in other words, it's very unlikely to have collateral affects on innocent users. Furthermore, we routinely block much much larger ranges if there is too much abuse from the range. OhNoitsJamieTalk12:37, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Add'l info regarding the persistent Bihari BE spammer
Hi. Noticed your block today (logid 177234606) of 2409:4000::/22 (talk· contribs) for persistent spam and BE. Have possible additional info for you: a page (Gidhaur, Bihar) and a temp user (~2026-85976-4 (talk · contribs)[noping]) that you might want to add to the block list, or just keep an eye on.
At 07:18, 2 November 2025 your blockee 2409:40e4:11:55d9:8000:: (IP geo: Jharkand, Bihar) made this promotional edit at Gidhaur, Bihar, immediately reverted by a helpful third party. Today at 10:40 8 Feb, temp user ~2026-85976-4 (IP geo: Jharkand) made substantially the same promotional edit to Gidhaur, Bihar (reverted by me). I checked the CIDR/24 range of their IP, which found these contributions from 12 IPs, all prior to 2020 except about a dozen edits in Aug. 2025 from 47.31.113.171 (talk· contribs), nearly 100% reverted, but they haven't edited for six months. Thank you very much for all your volunteer work keeping things humming; it does not go unappreciated! (P.S., is a report like this one useful to you? Because I imagine you have more powerful tools, and if not helpful, I'll save us both the time.) Mathglot (talk) 21:24, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't create the original /22 partial block, I just added a new target to it. I looked at some of the ranges around 47.31.113.199; I didn't see any recent spamming other than the example you posted above, though I did see a /19 range that's been adding unsourced caste stuff over the last two months all associated with the same temp user; I warned the temp user and created an edit filter to address that. If there is some recent spam (or larger patterns) that I'm missing let me know! Thanks, OhNoitsJamieTalk13:02, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
