unauthorized users deleting

Hello @MathXplore I ask you for help again. Some not logged in user edited my marathi wikipedia talk page again w:mr:User talk:Undekagon30, by deleting my entry, what can I do to permanantly block unauthorized users from doing so? (and how can I link from here to a wikipedia in a different language?) Undekagon30 (talk) 11:30, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Fixed interwiki link. MathXplore (talk) 11:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

For interwiki linking, please see the current version of your message (I fixed the interwiki link). MathXplore (talk) 11:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, understood Undekagon30 (talk) 11:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Since I don't know the local policy of Marathi Wikipedia, I don't if there is a way to permanently block unauthorized (in this case, not auto-confirmed) users. For temporary semi-protection over there, please contact Marathi Wikipedia local admins. User talk pages are discussion venues, so they are usually open to everyone (except talk page archives etc.). I hope this can help you. MathXplore (talk) 11:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for your help and advice. I barely speak Marathi and mostly use Marathi Wikipedia for reading articles (still with the help of a lot of translation tooling).

I am a beginning student of Marathi and try to contribute to English wiktionary with automated tools (templates / Lua modules) for Marathi noun declension, verb conjugation, script transliteration and programming alike and I am still a beginning editor on wikipedia.

But maybe my Marathi basic language knowledge is enough to ask there. I will at least try.

(I also had a similar question to Sanskrit wiktionary where there is a gadget javascript included on almost every article and user page which I personally don't like and for which I doubt it could also be misused for cross site scripting by anybody evil wishing to do so.)

Query

Hey, MathXplore,

I have a question for you. How are you finding orphaned talk pages? I have a query I run a couple of times a day on Quarry that locates them but with the replag system problems right now, Quarry isn't working. But you are still finding these pages and tagging them for speedy deletion. Are you just keeping a close eye on Recent changes or do you have some other system you are using? Thanks for any information you can provide. And thank you for all of your contributions to the project. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm just keeping a close eye on Recent changes. MathXplore (talk) 03:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Well, you have eagle eyes! Thank you for your diligence! It helps keep junk off the site. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

About Talk:Ahmet Hamdi Üçpınarlar

Hi MathXplore,

There is a Turkish politician of this name - please see tr:Ahmet Üçpınarla

Instead of outright WP:A8 deletion, I have moved this to Draft:Ahmet Üçpınarlar

I would appreciate your opinions about this: wrong, right, something else?

Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, if there is anyone who wants to work on the draft, I have no reason to stop them. Thank you for the information. MathXplore (talk) 10:56, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

FYI

This edit (now reverted) reinstated vandalism. "[Player] is the owner of [rival team]" is a common type of vandalism on sports articles. Wracking ^talk! 14:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, I didn't know that type of edits. Thank you for the information. MathXplore (talk) 14:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Of course! To the unfamiliar eye, it can look relatively legitimate. Wracking ^talk! 14:50, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

G5 Deletion tagging

Please do not tag pages for WP:CSD G5 deletion if the account has not been blocked. I understand you've submitted an SPI report, but until that's been acted on by a reviewing administrator, the pages those users have created are not eligible. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

OK, thank you for the instructions. MathXplore (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

You should not comment on someone's IP address as a form of personal prosecution

You should not comment on someone's IP address , if it was edited by mistake without login , and you don't agree with the changes. That does not give you the right to PROSECUTE that person or group of people by commenting on their IP address on Wikipedia. It is horribly wrong. If there is and Wikipedia change made under account that is registered, by all means comment and talk with the person. But leaving publicly accessible comments on someone's IP address and putting it on Wikipedia per se prints target on someone and you are creating that target yourself. Besides you could see that from the context and from the changes history on page you mentioned, there are clearly users doing changes and if change was made without login in as a mistake, it is clearly attempt to draw a target on someone IP and internet access. Please stop doing that. You have Plenty of changes made with registered accounts and targeting people's Ip addresses according to their changes does not help anyone.

I will discuss the concerns above with other admins as soon as possible. MathXplore (talk) 11:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I really think that labeling someone's IPs and connectiong IPs and article on talk pages is not appropriate, except if they are recorded while editing in page edit themselves.. That can target and label people and open them to outside attacks for no other reason then editing wikipedia or editing without logging in by mistake. It is especially for those with static IPs, so labeling them in connection for some articles can make them a targets of wider internet attacks. Thank you again for your consideration!
