Hatted discussions are not closed discussions...
... especially when hatted by a regular editor rather than an admin as part of an official discussion "closure". But whatever.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:42, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Oh, and I got an edit conflict while editing, I didn't actually mean to revert you because, like I said, don't really care that much. Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:42, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
- That's where you're wrong, Volunteer Marek. From the template page itself:
This template is placed at the top of a discussion (and {{hidden archive bottom}} or {{hab}} at the bottom), and is used to close a discussion and discourage further editing without removing it completely from the page.
- Not to mention that the template explicitly says that "the following discussion has been closed" and not to modify it any further. SkyWarrior 19:47, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Re: Marcus Hutchins
Hi there! As I mentioned in the edit summary, although Marcus Hutchins may be initially known for stopping the attack, I believe the subsequent coverage regarding his arrest belong to a separate article, because the arrest is not due to his role in the WannaCry ransomware attack. Hutchins seems to have received sufficient reliable coverage to meet the general notability guideline on his own. Thanks, Tony Tan · talk 01:39, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- I'm going to give this some more thought, Tony Tan, if you don't mind. If I end up agreeing with you, then this will be the last of our conversation about Hutchins. But if I don't, then expect a merge discussion in the near future. SkyWarrior 01:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
How to prevent changes
I'm not sure how to prevent changes or protect an article. For whatever reason there is, people have been editing or deleting relevant information from the Abella Danger article. Any information on how to prevent this. Along with any help, would be greatly welcome. Thank you. Scenicview1 (talk) 16:08, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Scenicview1
- WP:BRD is the relevant page here, Scenicview1. Essentially, the best option is to discuss the contested changes, either with the person who reverted you directly or on the talk page. Try not to re-revert repeatedly to your preferred version instead, as it could get you blocked from editing.
- Also keep in mind that no one owns articles, and as such anyone can edit most articles (provided the article is not protected). SkyWarrior 18:49, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Wow, I must say, this is probably the first time I've ever run across a set of edits where another editor was considering moving a page the same time I was. I think we ran across some edit conflicts, and in the process, I had to create Moose (drink game). You moved Moose (Drinking Game) to Moose (drinking game) at about the same time I was going to. I mean wow ... huge coincidence? Steel1943 (talk) 23:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Probably not a coincidence, considering the fact that I just found your move on Recent Changes, although my initial thought when finding your edit was "what the hell are they doing?", so I moved it to correct/fix you. But maybe it is a coincidence, I don't know. :p
But it's fixed now, right?SkyWarrior 23:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)- Yeah, I was in the process of doing a "round-about" move per the WP:PAGEMOVER guidelines. However, it did not help matters that I originally moved the article to a disambiguator with the capitalization set as "drinking Game". So, I tried to correct that ASAP, but then these edit conflict arose. (If I find any issues with other editors' moves, I usually wait a few minutes before doing anything to avoid conflicts in the event they realized what they had done; I had to move the article back to "Drinking Game" to also suppress the redirect I left there since I meant to remove it ... since that's how the round-about moves have to be done. Oh well.) Anyways, I have an idea: Would you be okay if I swap the edit histories of the "Drinking Game" redirect and the "drink game" redirect so that you can then tag the "drink game" redirect for WP:G7? If not, that's okay; I'm just trying to find some quick way to get the "drink game" redirect removed. Steel1943 (talk) 00:12, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- That's fine, do what needs to be done. SkyWarrior 00:14, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- All right, I have performed the aforementioned page moves. Steel1943 (talk) 00:22, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Joe Kolodziej.
Hi there, thanks for the recent notice. I have tried to talk with the user and attempt to find out why he continues to undo my edits (see edit history). What options do i have? I have added referenced copy to the article, the items being added are controversial, but truthful. I believe that I am editing by the rules, howvever the user undoing the edits admits to being the person referenced in the article and seems to want to keep any negative material offline, you can appreciate that it would be hard to get conscientious in this instance. This isn't the first time that he has done this, see see the May/June edit. Any help/advise you can offer would be appreciated. Thetruthabouthockey (talk) 17:15, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late response, Thetruthabouthockey. Your best bet is to talk to the editor who's reverting you directly, in a neutral, civil way (and not like this); a simple "can you please explain why you're reverting me?" or the like should suffice. Alternatively, you can start a discussion on the talk page about the edits. But whatever you do, do not reinstate the edits; you're already past 3RR and re-reverting again could result in a block for you. SkyWarrior 15:48, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

"general convention"
The results of ANEW reports are really only meant to serve as a quick reference to other admins - I purposely marked mine as disputed (twice) in the results. Please do not non-admin clerk ANEW. Thanks -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 20:48, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- There's nothing saying I can't do it, so technically I can still do it (as far as I'm aware), regardless of what you told me. Now, that doesn't mean I should, and I (probably) won't from now one (probably), but... I'm just one of those people who wants things uniform, you know? SkyWarrior 20:54, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- It's not an issue, and there was no need to revert my message really.. you're more than welcome to continue doing it up until the point it becomes disruptive, which to be fair you'd really need to try to do! I would expect that if someone purposely does something twice, you'd assume they were meaning to do it, and perhaps leave them a message asking why instead of continuing to remove it? Maybe that's just me, I apologise if I came across a little harsh Keep up your great work here and happy editing! -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 21:00, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 16,991 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
Technology update:
- Rentier has created a NPP browser in WMF Labs that allows you to search new unreviewed pages using keywords and categories.
General project update:
- The Wikimedia Foundation Community Tech team is working with the community to implement the autoconfirmed article creation trial. The trial is currently set to start on 7 September 2017, pending final approval of the technical features.
- Please remember to focus on the quality of review: correct tagging of articles and not tagbombing are important. Searching for potential copyright violations is also important, and it can be aided by Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which can be added to your toolbar for ease of use with this user script.
- To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Blog Inquiry
Hey SkyWarrior,
Hope you're doing well.
I came across your page through researching the edits of a few music-related Wikipedia pages and wanted to get in touch as I'm currently working on a blog to discuss best practices / tips for Wikipedia and thought I'd reach out to see if this is something you'd want to be involved in.
Let me know your thoughts. I would email you but I already emailed a few people today and that action is currently throttled for me. Please email me back (on my user page) if you’re interested. Thanks!

Revisiting autopsy photo
I've followed some of the discussions about the autopsy photo here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_autopsy#The_gunshot_wound_to_the_head
and read the relevant guideline pages you've linked in previous reverts.
Are exceptions to these guidelines not warranted in some cases? I was reading the page in question today and I think it is important to acknowledge that seeing that image without warning may be upsetting for some people. It certainly is a gruesome photograph and not something a reader would expect to see without warning. News, video and audio media often preface gruesome content with a warning, allowing the viewer/listening to decide if they would like to continue. I'm not advocating removing the image. Previous edits required revealing a box to see the image? Why is this not a suitable compromise in an exceptional case?
Thanks.
SabreWolfy (talk) 15:29, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hi there SabreWolfy. WP:NDA is the main relevant guideline here. It essentially states that diclaimers should not go into articles, and the warning box around the image in dispute would be considered a dsiclaimer. Therefore, the box was removed as an NDA violation. Yes, it's a gruesome image, but NDA doesn't allow disclaimers in articles.
- Now, of course, exceptions can and do exist, but it would require a consensus to give that exception in this case, given the controversial nature of this situation. SkyWarrior 16:59, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. How do we get consensus? From whom? SabreWolfy (talk) 18:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- @SabreWolfy: you get consensus by, among other ways, starting a discussion on the talk page of the article the dispute is located at (in this case, Talk:John F. Kennedy autopsy). This can be in the form of a request for comment or just a simple discussion. From there, other editors give their views on the subject and if, after a period of time (30 days for an RfC barring any snowfall), the discussion is closed by an uninvolved editor either in support or against the proposal. If no consensus is reached, then nothing happens (in other words, the page stays the same as if the discussion never happened). See WP:CONSENSUS for more details.

My submission is in review
Hello, sorry to bother you. I have an article in second review and I have not heard yet whether the article has been accepted or not. Is there any way for me to contact the reviewer or ask for a speedier reviewer? What are the rules? And the etiquette? Can you help? ExNeddiesBoy (talk) 02:36, 8 October 2017 (UTC)ExNeddiesBoy
- I'm assuming you mean Draft:Cynthia Curry, ExNeddiesBoy? If so, you could always ask the previous reviewer, 97198, to re-review. Asking for a speedier reviewer will not help anything, however; the articles for creation process is backlogged, which means it will take some time for your article to be reviewed. You submitted the draft for review a week ago; it can take more than a month for an article to be reviewed. Be patient. SkyWarrior 03:13, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Cleanup on aisle Nazism?: moving
...where? There I am, minding my own business, responding to something....and suddenly it ain't there. I get called away to a phone call, and now I find it's on ANI. I do not think that is the place to discuss whether closing an ongoing discussion 5 or six times constitutes edt-warring...and, of course, whether re-opening the same &cet. Anmccaff (talk) 05:01, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Anmccaff. Let me first say that, yes, I probably should have said in my edit summary where I was moving the discussion to, though I did ping you at the ANI thread letting you know I did move it there. I guess that didn't suffice, so I apologize for that inconvienence.
- As for whether or not ANI is the place to have the discussion: it wasn't much that ANI was the correct place to have the discussion but rather that AN3 was the wrong place to have it. AN3 is supposed to be for direct reports of users who have violated 3RR/1RR or are otherwise edit warring, not general discussion on "whether closing an ongoing discussion 5 or six times constitutes edt-warring". I chose to move it to ANI because I felt that it was a more appropriate place for the discussion, though in hindsight regular AN, some other dispute resolution board or even simply the AN3 talk page probably would've sufficed. SkyWarrior 11:48, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- Well, I think the point raised was a very narrow one, which stood a chance of being directly addressed on AN3, but was certain to erupt into a second free-for-all at ANI, as it did, of course, spilling back onto the Nasti article itself....with the central question still unanswered. Just out of curiosity, what would your personal take on that be? Anmccaff (talk) 18:05, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- I haven't looked at the situation closely enough to give a personal take, but I do know that the ANI discussion was closed essentially saying that the majority of reliable sources consider Nazism a far-right ideology, and whether saying such violates FRINGE is up for debate. SkyWarrior 19:20, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- Well, that completely sidesteps the question about closing ongoing discussions, though. I think it a bad thing that someone can impose their edit six times, and then accuse anyone else of edit-warring. Regarding the Nasti's place in the political zoo, most sources of course do see them, especially the modern incarnations, as of the right, but their origins are a little more mixed, and the article really should capture that. Anmccaff (talk) 19:55, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- PS: This might sum up my feelings a little more completely. Anmccaff (talk) 20:55, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- Alright, I slightly misunderstood the initial question. To actually answer your question: on the face of it, closing the same discussion 5 or 6 times sounds like it's not the right thing to do. However, as I stated before, I haven't looked into the situation closely enough to give an opinion on this, and context does matters. SkyWarrior 00:26, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- I haven't looked at the situation closely enough to give a personal take, but I do know that the ANI discussion was closed essentially saying that the majority of reliable sources consider Nazism a far-right ideology, and whether saying such violates FRINGE is up for debate.

Just out of curiosity, what would your personal take on that be? Anmccaff (talk) 18:05, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
Alright, Anmccaff, so I looked a little deeper into this. I'm assuming the situation involves this diff, among others, right? If so, then here's my take on it. Let's start off with this: edit warring involves two parties; you are equally guilty of edit warring as Beyond My Ken. Furthermore, I only saw 3 closures, not 5-6.
I initially wrote a long post explaining my view on this, but I realized that I don't know who is right in this situation; to be quite honest, I believe both of you are in the wrong. So I'm just going to answer your initial question, which I believe I finally got correct: is it appropriate to close a discussion 5-6 times? Well, it depends on the situation. If WP:NOTFORUM applies, then yes, I would argue it is appropriate to repeatedly close it. However, if the discussion was closed simply because it was discussed in the past, then I would argue that no, it's not appropriate to repeatedly close a discussion 5-6 times, and thus would constitute edit warring, unless consensus says otherwise, which I do not see afaik. Does this whole thing constitute edit warring in this situation? Well, for starters 3RR was not violated, as I only counted 3 re-closures from BMK, not 5-6. I'm going with a solid "maybe" here, as I honestly can't tell.
I'm also just going to get this out of the way: I'm probably not the best person to talk to about this, as I don't usually deal with edit warring. I only moved the AN3 discussion to ANI because I personally believe it did not belong at AN3, not because of the issue at hand (and to be quite frank, I really don't care about the issue at hand that much). SkyWarrior 04:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. One problem with this kinda subject is the whole squick factor can rub off onto other participants if you aren't careful. Anmccaff (talk) 04:51, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

- With that said, your edits are clearly controversial, and given your tone I would suggest you stop re-adding the contested edits in (in other words, stop adding timelines to articles).

Thanks for moving Lissy (actress). I think Lissy may also require a dab since there are Lissy commune and Lissy (film). There is no primary topic, I believe. Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 18:28, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I have reverted your edit on 'Canon EOS 40D'
Hello User:SkyWarrior,
I have add the link to Photoshop Lightroom again in the article Canon EOS 40D, as the article already exist. It is the link to 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom' and NOT 'Adobe Lightroom CC'. Please leave the link, except the article 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom' will be deleted, or discuss it beforehand.
--GodeNehler (talk) 21:06, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- That was the result of a mass rollback from a disruptive IP, essentially because Spartaz initially removed the link per a recent AfD, and I was trying to uphold the AfD result. I'm fine with this specific revert. SkyWarrior 21:10, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Microsoft Photos
Hey. Erm, would you please double-check your reversion in the Microsoft Photos article? The change and the edit summary don't match, and I don't know which one is wrong.
- The edit summary reads: per a recent AfD, there should not be an article on Lightroom, so linking is not necessary
- The actual change is restoring this sentence: "that could be uninstalled from the system".
I mean ... I double-checked and triple-checked because this isn't something you would do. I though maybe MediaWiki has gone haywire. (Although if it was true, double-checking wouldn't have helped anyway.)
FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 15:22, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- See my reply above. Long story short: mass rollback oversight. It was something on my end, and I have thus reverted. SkyWarrior 19:52, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
James May alias Dingleberry handpump

You have reverted my changes to James Daniel Mays article, concerning the addition of his 1 week old new alias given to him by his two co-presenters due to an Identity theft.
I do not know why you took that action nor do I think you are failiar with the source material.

ACC tool access request approved
SkyWarrior, thank you for your interest in the account creation process. I have verified that you are identified to the Wikimedia Foundation and approved your request.
You may now access the interface here pending a tool root marking your account as identified in the tool database. Before you begin handling requests, please ensure you have read and understood the account creation guide and username policy to familiarise yourself with the process.
Please subscribe yourself to the private ACC mailing list following the instructions on that page. I also advise that you also join us on IRC #wikipedia-en-accounts connect where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and you can get real time advice on how to handle requests.
Please note failure to correctly assess requests will result in suspension of tool access. Account creation is not a race, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly. Releasing personally identifying information (such as IP and email addresses), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated very seriously and will generally result in immediate suspension.
Currently you are allowed to create up to six accounts per day, and you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user; these requests are marked as "Flagged user needed" on the interface. However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at WP:PERM/ACC.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome! Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:43, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

- Hi Rjgreen55. Your edit was reverted because this edit appeared to be an editing test. Unfortunately, this change was the only change I saw when using Huggle, which I would argue was rightfully reverted, but the software appears to have also reverted legitimate edits by you, edits I did not know about. I do apologize for that, and I will partially revert, but I would like to check the edits first before doing so, if you don't mind (and if you don't do so before me).

Article Tabarnia
There is a mistake in your reversion. I made a correction on the article, citing true information from the single source of that article. The previous version was invented. A copy and paste from the website www.bcnisnotcat.es. Filiprino (talk) 18:39, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- There was no mistake, Filiprino. The current version of the article is properly sourced to multiple reliable sources and is much more expansive than your version of the article, which is a single sentence and is unsourced, except for an external link to a blog site. Also, I checked, and I cannot find how the current version is a copyvio. SkyWarrior 18:46, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I am sorry to say that the article was not properly sourced because the sources employed are not reliable. The website promoting the supposed «Tabarnia» concept is https://www.bcnisnotcat.es which you recognize to be a blog, so it is not any source of ground truth. Three out of eighteen references are from that blog. The rest of the sources employed are secondary sources without any primary source to refer to in order to check basic information like members, promotors, organizations or political parties. Currently there is no verificable information supporting Tabarnia as anything supported by anyone. Filiprino (talk) 18:55, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Sunflower personnel
The Beach Boys album "Sunflower" and the individual song articles indicate that Dennis Wilson did in fact play drums and Bruce Johnston was on bass and keyboards. A lot of the journalists fail to fact check and realize the truth: The Beach Boys did in fact play on their own records, contrary to popular belief, and an often erroneous belief is that Dennis was replaced exclusively by studio drummers. I think you sent me the message by mistake. 04:28, 4 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.128.210 (talk)
- Not a mistake; simply claiming a source exists without providing such is not how things work around here. I encourage you to provide the source you are referring to, but until then, it is assumed that the source does not exist, and therefore the claims are unsourced. Please do not readd the content without adding some sort of reliable source confirming it; simply claiming such a source exists is not enough. See WP:V for more details. Thank you. SkyWarrior 04:32, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

- I'm not taking your words as attacks, but simply adding a "citation needed" template is not a workaround for this; you either provide a source when making the edit or not add the content at all. Continuing adding the content without providing the source you say exists could result in a block for adding unsourced content, so I would suggest you stop. SkyWarrior 04:36, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

--Mick2 (talk) 20:35, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi there Mick2. See WP:REF, which will show you how to add references to articles. There are many ways to do so, but for beginners one can add a ref by simply adding ref tags between the source wanting to be references (in other words, insert this when adding a reference:
<ref> your source </ref>
). A more complex way of adding a source would be to use, in this case, Template:Cite AV media or Template:Cite web (the visual editor can streamline this process for you). - With that said, since the person who uploaded the YouTube video provided does not actually own the rights to the video, you cannot use that YouTube video as a source per our copyright policy. You can, however, cite the C-SPAN video where the clip originated, which is located at this link here.
- If you have any more questions, then please let me know. SkyWarrior 21:05, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

- "English" is the entire language itself being spoken. With that, there are many different versions of English, including American and British. Calling British English just "English" would just be ignoring the other versions of English, and would suggest that BrE is the official form of English, which it is not.

Repeated messages that I've vandalised the page "Samuel Lane"
Hi SKyWarrior
In the past week, I've gotten at least two notifications (from you?) that I've vandalised the page "Samuel Lane" because apparently the editor had been using my IP address. I do not remember visiting, let alone editing, the page until I received these unusual notifications and I am honestly perplexed. I did not actually edit "Samuel Lane" personally and no-one else has been using my device, so I do not understand why I am being conflated with the person making unauthorized edits on 'Samuel Lane". I feel that this is an error. Please find a solution as soon as possible as these notifications are confusing, fo not pertain to me, and are becoming frequent.
Thankyou. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.62.28.16 (talk) 04:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- It may be true that you yourself did not make the edits, however someone from your IP address did. From what it looks like, the IP address you are using is a public one, and as such many different people can use it. Chances are good someone else made the edits in question, and you just so happen to use the computer after them. Really there are two things you can really do: create an account so any messages you receive pertain to you and you only, or just simply ignore the messages. I would also encourage you to use a private network if you are not doing so already. SkyWarrior 17:15, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

- With that said, in order for information to be added into Wikipedia articles (especially in regards to articles about living persons as is the case here), it needs to be backed up with reliable sources. If the info is not properly sourced, then it cannot be added. Saying that you are the article's subject and that the info you added is correct is not enough.

the RAIDERNATION
I am a reporter that's covered this story from the beginning of the saga in 1996. You proposed to "delete" my article and you are completely wrong about the pretense and have zero background information about the history and truth about the slogan "RAIDERNATION." You are censoring the truth, free speech and didn't even give me a chance to edit the page. You said I had until May 2!?! Why is the article down on April 28? You are playing favorites and you are actively censoring multiple opinions. Wikipedia is supposed to be an online encyclopedia yet you're taking sides and have allowed a lie to perpetrate as truth. There is more than one page for a lot of topics but you assumed my article wasn't accurate when it was with first hand accounts of my investigations. Wikipedia's community guidelines state you are "hands off" so why are you so "hands on" with my article which is the TRUTH!!! AND you had the nerve to delete my photos which are MY PROPERTY. THEY DON'T BELONG TO ANYONE ELSE!! Who are you and why do you have a personal vendetta against my publication of the TRUTH. The other page is a LIE. And...the original brand is RAIDERNATION NOT Raider Nation.
I am extremely disappointed and thought there was some authenticity to Wikipedia. Word on the street amongst "programmers" is that a FEW of you play favorites and moderate what you think is best. So much for truth and journalism. You've made this process a disgrace. Shame ON YOU!

While this editor concurs the use of Google Drive is not ideal, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has moved its access to the links to its Highway Resolutions (highway history) and Highway Referencing (highway details and mileage) to Google Drive, see DATA, TECHNOLOGY & ANALYTICS DIVISION: DATA AND ANALYTICS. While at least some of the previous direct links to some of these documents still work, the main webpages for looking them up no longer link to the desired information (Old link to highway referencing & Old link to highway resolutions). Given that Google Drive is were UDOT posts these essential reference documents, how do you suggest this issue be handled? An Errant Knight (talk) 17:23, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
@An Errant Knight: I reverted my edit. I may have incorrectly assumed that there is no good reason why Google Drive should be used. Truthfully there’s no real policy that explicitly says one can’t use Google Drive, and since UDOT officially uses Drive to upload all their documents, then I suppose it’s fine to use in this instance.
Now, if someone else says that Google Drive shouldn’t be used, then try looking for an archive of the previous reference on the Wayback Machine or other Internet archive site. SkyWarrior 15:26, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
