Question RE username policy
Hi Jauerback. I was trying my hand at anti-vandalism work the other day, and per ORGNAME, I warned User:MPowered Mortgages so that they could have "the opportunity to create a new account or have their current username changed." I also didn't interpret the page they were working on in their sandbox as G11 material because I thought it was a draft that they might eventually submit via AfC, as editors with COIs are entitled to do.
Should I not have given them a chance to change their username and immediately reported the account to UAA? Should I have G11'd their sandbox page? Thanks, voorts (talk/contributions) 21:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nope, you did nothing wrong. It's a judgement call, and in this instance, my call of it may have been incorrect. I can reblock them with a softblock which gives them the opportunity to either request a rename to their current account or create a new one. I didn't delete their sandbox, but I can certainly see why it was deleted. However, I can also see your point that could potentially turn into an article.

Why did you block a newbie without giving warning
A few months ago I introduced User:Kuningi to Wikipedia through the SWiP project. [1] The user is a native speaker of the Setswana language, and they were editing in Setswana language Wiki, I was suprised to see that you blocked the user without giving them a warning or notification as per the blocking policy.Can we work together to unblock this user? Bobbyshabangu talk 15:54, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Check out their filter log entries. They have seven edits that were disallowed by the edit filter, yet they persisted. That's a pretty sufficient warning and is the exact type of behavorior that will get reported by the bots to WP:AIV. And, there is absolutely no requirement for any kind of warning as it's up to administrator judgement. If the user wishes to be unblocked, they can certainly request an unblock. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 16:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The IP that keeps POV-pushing on the article has refused to engage on talk, and as soon as the protection expired, the page was reverted. Two editors disagree with the IP editor, and the IP also made the same addition to the Hazelwood School District page as well. This is likely not going to stop without admin intervention. 146.115.58.160 (talk) 17:39, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- That's a misrepresentation. First, I'm engaged in talk. @146.115.58.160 That's a blatant falsehood.
- User Vladimir Hunter has been editing wildly, he's wholesale removing sections, making demands that meet his personal perspective and worse, said this as his motivation;
- "It mainly results in discussions and talking points like this (https://counter-currents.com/2024/03/white-girl-twitch-a-lot/), overwhelming racial grift. White supremacy circlejerks, to a lesser extent you get another circlejerk on the darker side of the spectrum. I was there when it made rounds on social media and it's popular solely because of the reactionary aspect. It being characterized as "Assault" first thing despite no sources saying such is also a sign most editors that know enough about it to add to it may be biased in one way or another."
- Which;
- A) claims that it's a race matter -- all by himself, assigns this motivation to others.
- B) claims that it's a cirlcejerk? What? It's international news.
- C) RE: "Assault" -- it's described as assault in NUMEROUS provided citations. Including by the local authorities (Police.)
- That whole paragraph, added by Vladimir Hunter is ITSELF wildly reactionary, unhinged and undeserving of any response. Instead, Vladimir Hunter engaged in edit-warring -- removing whole paragraphs, making wild gatekeeping claims about too many sources (after he EARLIER falsely claimed there werent sources for the word "assault" then went to say there were TOO MANY citations (and as mentioned, the lied and said the citations DIDNT say assault. MANY do. International, local and national news sources said assault.
- Then, the warring actor Vladimir Hunter removed the framing/context given by the MISSORI STATE Attorney General.
- (and yes, I did add a smaller blurb to the Hazelwood page - why wouldnt it be? It's arguably the most notable event in the history (outside the SCOTUS case) of the district.)
- (and, what does Vladimir Hunter's link prove exactly? It wasnt cited, and it seems low quality. AND, the "talking points" arent from there at all - they're nearly IDENTICAL copy from the articles cited. Like, direct quotes. The link he provided there is just wholesale misdirection - why did he provide it and then misrepresent the edits to be associted with HIS link at all? It's an attempt to confuse, and it's a misrepresentation of anything in the article.
- Why does _anyone_ think the correct action is to REMOVE the enter mention from the page? What is going on here?
- Why is an editor Vladimir Hunter -- who clearly has a radical, POV motivation -- able to gatekeep and dominate the article to his personal worldview?

- Warned all three involved users/ips of Edit warring. AlphaBetaGamma (talk) 01:48, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- They've blocked any mention at all in the article. This isnt edit warring; user Vladimir Hunter is gatekeeping the article with his preposterous POV motivation. This isnt 'equal actions' -- Vladimir Hunter is unhinged and is not fair dealing - did you read him on the talk page (also quoted above)? 24.57.55.50 (talk) 02:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I can see all I see is constant reverts only made by a certain user or ip to push their views. From my view this needs a discussion before any more reverts are made. Further disruption will likely be a free AN report. User:AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- What you see should be (because it is accurate), is one user adding content to wikipedia and a second user constantly reverting. Now the section is gone. He made unhinged claims as to what motivated his actions -- and his judgement seems to have prevailed. "As far as you can see"? Why is the section completely gone? 24.57.55.50 (talk) 11:59, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Advice on focus
Hello,
Hope you are well. I have a few disparate areas of expertise, but by background I am a psychologist. Would you recommend I work on all pages I have knowledge on or stick to psyhology related pages? At least at the start as a beginner editor?
Thank you XZY5 (talk) 19:21, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's always a good idea to work on what interests you. In my opinion, being an expert doesn't necessarily help, as you still need to provide reliable sources for any information that you add. Experts tend to add things, because they just "know" it's right. 03:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC) Jauerbackdude?/dude. 03:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Defunct Deaf Schools
I am curious why you keep on removing edits on Defunct deaf schools? Alumnus of those schools wants to see their schools listed there.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.141.225 (talk) 12:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Because they have to be notable to be included. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 12:57, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Notable need couple of sources which they do have. 72.230.141.225 (talk) 13:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- If they turn into articles, then they can be added. Until then, they can wait since there is WP:NODEADLINE. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 13:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at one of the drafts, it looks like it has a decent chance of making it into an article. So... when (and if) that happens, then feel free to add links to it. However, until then, you're putting the cart before the horse. No one is trying to supress you or erase deaf culture, but there is a standard of what makes it onto Wikipedia, so it's not filled with complete garbage or adverstisements.

Hi, since the overwhelming amount of vandalism to Jontay Porter was coming from IP addresses, I've reduced the protection to semi-protection for now.

The Boys (franchise)
Why are you continuously reverting my edits in The Boys (franchise)? I told you why my edits are necessary. Doctor Strange19 (talk) 14:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, new talk page discussions start at the bottom of the page; not in the middle. Secondly, no edits are "necessary". You keep citing WP:IMDB and you're ignoring WP:BRD. Start a talk page discussion and get a consensus for your edits making sure they are supported by reliable sources. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 14:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
