Note

  • Before reporting one or more users here, try to resolve the dispute by discussing with them first. (Exception: obvious vandal accounts, spambots, etc.)
  • Keep your report as short as possible, but include links as evidence.
  • Remember to sign and date all comments using fou tildes (~~~~), which translates into a signature and a time stamp.
  • Notify the user(s) concerned via their user talk page(s). {{subst:Discussion-notice|noticeboard=COM:AN/U|thread=|reason=}} ~~~~ is available for this.
  • It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; Please try to remain civil with your comments.
  • Administrators: Please make a note if a report is dealt with, to avoid unnecessary responses by other admins.

User:Seiichi Miyashita

[edit]

This user has no understanding of the purpose of Wikimedia Commons, repeatedly creates categories whose purpose is unclear, and and does not attempt to explain why it is necessary in the discussion. He does not even seem to accept repeated warnings. Also, in that discussion and the category he created, he remarks that “let's upload a photo to commemorate the visits”(Revision #929658148) and seems to mistake Commons for SNS.

アーキテクトとして、わたしの目から見て、コモンズの写真群も、フリーなアップ先に、思えたんですけどね。

適度なレイアウトにて、「十字架と教会」の写真群と説明文も載せる、というのなら、よさそうに感じます。

             「Cross & Architecture」
          『十字架とともに、映るチャペル』
          〜十字架と建築の織りなすビスタ〜
いつも、十字架と教会は、互いに、強く、暖かく、慕うように、支えあいます。
ハーモニーは、美しく、確かに、広がり、我々の心に、深く、永く、響きます。
教会を訪れたら、建物の光景と、重厚な風格を、破天荒な輪郭にて、捉えます。

*ご了承いただけたのでしょうか、もしそうなら、ありがたいです、これから、翻訳を依頼しますね* Seiichi Miyashita (talk) 13:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bart Buchtfluß: もしよろしければ、ゆっくり、英訳お願いします。 Seiichi Miyashita (talk) 15:00, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Seiichi Miyashita 今一度こちらのコメントをご確認いただいた上で,コメント内でBart Buchtflußさんが言及されている質問「なぜCategory:Church Apex crossesがすでにあるのにCategory:Cross & Architectureを作るのか」にお答えください.「カテゴリに関するガイドライン」についてはCommons:Categories/jaをお読みください.
なお,ご存知であれば申し訳ありませんがCategoryという英単語には「分類上の区分」「種類」などという意味があり(参照),ここにおいては写真を種類ごとに分類する機能です.貴殿の「いろいろなトピック」というコメントは少々解釈違いに見えましたので,見直していただけると幸いです.--Tmv (talk) 09:47, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
それは、コメントにも軽くふれたように、
「頂点にある十字架」というワードには、
コモンズにアップする品格の写真を撮る、
モチベーションを維持できないと感じた、
ということも、大きな、動機、理由です。
「教会の頂点にある十字架」だけでなく、
教会建築との、確かで、豊かな、一体感、
を捉えた、写真群の、構成を考えました。
また、ガイドラインを、すべて把握して、
トライするには、無理もあると思います。
まずは、気軽な投稿を、勧めてもいます。
当初、個人の制作物のコレクションにも、
見えるような成果も多いと、感じました。
ただ、相応に、テーマ、分類、などなど、
コンセンサスもあるようにも、思います。
いまは以上です。ありがとうございます。 Seiichi Miyashita (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
私もウィキ関連の価値をよく学び知るべきだけれど、新しい多くのユーザーを迎える優しさも大切に思う。 Seiichi Miyashita (talk) 11:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
「井戸端」にても、話題になっているようです。
なので、気は進まないのですが、付け加えます。
自分の利用者ページに、写真群の説明文の英訳、
さらに、当面において、最後のアップロードに、
プロテスタントの礼拝堂の正面の壁面の十字架、
レリーフ、を捉えた、写真を、撮りにゆきます。
これは、「教会の頂上の十字架」というよりも、
「十字架と建築」に、なるのかもしれませんね。
ただ、すでに、議論の的になった当カテゴリは、
もうありませんし、作品を置けても、みなさま、
カテゴリをチェンジされていましたし、わたし、
自分にしか撮れない写真群、かもしれないから、
自分のページに置けるなら、それがベストだと、
思うようになりました。それでよいでしょうか。
FYR:https://www.satohide.co.jp/works/05/05-11.html Seiichi Miyashita (talk) 11:25, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Seiichi Miyashita 返信ありがとうございます.やっとMiyashitaさんの意図が見えました.確かにCategory:Christian crossesには「建築と共に十字架が写っている写真」のカテゴリはありません.作るにしても,より明確なタイトル(例えばCategory:Crosses with religious architectures)と説明が必要だと思います.ちなみにレリーフについてはCategory:Reliefsがあり,他のものについても大抵は既存のカテゴリに収まるのではないかと私は思います.これ以上は管理者の仲介が必要なさそうなので,(まだ腑に落ちない部分があるのであれば)井戸端に場所を移しましょうか.
@admins: according to his comment above, he created Category:Cross & Architecture for photos of crosses with religious architectures. He says the existing category is limited to crosses on tops, and there is no category for photos of reliefs — crosses on the front wall of a chapel, etc. I told him about Category:Reliefs, but it may be true that there's no overarching category for crosses with religious architectures. Anyway, we don't seem to need to be here anymore, so we will move to the project chat. Thanks, --Tmv (talk) 16:00, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tmv さん、
ありがとうございます。
『Category:Crosses with religious architectures』は、コモンズの創作・撮影・アップのモチベーションを、
ガイドラインに基づいて、より確かに、伝えてもらえる、とても、素晴らしいネーミングと、感じますし、
ぜひ、個人的にも、強く、支持したいですし、ぜひとも、カテゴリとして、活用させていただきたいです。
自分の利用者のページにおいては、いまのまま、シンプルなイメージにて、わかりやすく、伝わりやすい、
ナチュラルな「Cross & Architecture」として、写真群のギャラリーを、キープしておけたら、と思います。
よろしくお願いします。

ーーーーーーー(説明文案)ーーーーーーー
みなさまへ
『十字架と共に映る宗教建築』創設に際して、
ウィキメデイアの熟練者の方々の勧めも受け、
このカテゴリの初版の制作者として提唱する。
カテゴリ名の英単語の連鎖は、十字架と教会、
キリスト教の建築と記念碑を、示唆している。
両者を、象徴的、両義的、叙情的、芸術的に、
捉えた、主題群、画像群、を、示唆している。
品格あるメモリアルな光景も、示唆している。
特定の、構図に、情報として、抄録したもの、
両者の、対峙と、協調へと、昇華しないもの、
など、趣旨に、沿わない画は、対象としない。
明快な、明確な、基準はなく、主観に委ねる。
神聖と崇高を、信仰と友愛を、思慕と憧憬を、
確かなモチーフに示す、作品のアップロード、
多くの方々に、鋭意、推奨したく、念じます。
宮下 誠一

[edit]

Despite the numerous warnings the user has received for copyright issues and a specific warning for uploading Symphony of Heaven's images from Facebook, they've again uploaded an image off the band's website as their own. here. This was actually sized down version of the file that was on the band's official website of Symphony of Heaven. All these numerous warnings in the past didn't deter them from doing this. Their prolific article creation pattern at en.wiki seems to suggest they maybe editing on behalf of a promotion company which would explain why they're getting so many copyright take downs. Graywalls (talk) 08:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I warned the user (he was not warned previously). The upload in question is deleted as copyvio. Taivo (talk) 08:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Taivo: , I said they've been previously warned, because of these talk messages found on their page. I thought these, particularly the reminder about the exact copy from Facebook counted as a warning.

No admin action necessary. Yann (talk) 11:20, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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 user readds speedy deletion tags to regular category discussions [2] after the speedy deletion was converted to a category discussion. I suggest they be restricted from editing category namespace.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:00, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please let the responsible admin of the relevant category decide. As far as I am informed, it is not desirable to create an empty category today for all possible topics that might even contain a file in the future. This is bad work. Then you could create the corresponding categories up to 2050. Great, nothing gained. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:02, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the user seems to force changes rather than seeking consensus, deliberately undoing redirects when they are aware that the question isn't agreed upon: [3]
It seeems there was a similar issue already in the past: Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections/Archive_39#h-L._Beck-20240725051600 (edit warring with User:ŠJů]),
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:06, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I feel once again confirmed that you have a lousy character. Again, you start a discussion and before we can clarify an issue there, you pass people on to this place. Yes, I find your behavior impossible (and not for the first time). This should not be taken as an insult, but as a well-founded and honest opinion! Lukas Beck (talk) 15:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you were reported here because you replaced the discussion with speedy tags rather than participating there.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:19, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not repleased!!! Lukas Beck (talk) 15:20, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are just doing it wrongly.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:22, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, and you couldn't clarify that on my discussion page? You had to involve tons of other people to do that? That's exactly what I mean when I say you have a bad character. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And to be honest, I think I'm here because we've already clashed several times, as you've often noticed yourself constantly revising changes without discussion and instead of discussing things, you report people directly here. And the fact that you are vandalizing and trolling is not a form of insult. There are many other things that would come to mind that I won't say, as they quite rightly have no place in this project. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:22, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All edits being examined are yours. I guess it's easy to just start with personal attacks if you don't have any arguments.
Now pretending you ignore that the speedy deletion tag shouldn't be readded after it was convert to a category discussion suggests that you might not even read the deletion tags you added all over. I guess it's a competency issue I'm not sure how to address.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:30, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No matter how many times you want to repeat it; Terms like vandalism or trolling are not personal attacks.
Competency problems, to use this word, even if they existed, would probably not be the right place to discuss them here. I highly recommend getting involved in discussions on the user pages and not writing everything you can't handle on this page. This has something to do with social skills. ;-) Lukas Beck (talk) 15:36, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you are obviously free to think of yourself in these terms.
I asked you to open a discussion if you want to implement a change, but apparently, you are not interested in that.
Even when it's done for your (by me), you add speedy deletion tags to category pages and then force the conclusion of the discussion by implementing the controversial change you want to propose while it's open.

You seem to have misunderstood something fundamental. I'm not going to start a discussion about it before every change I make. If you disagree with my changes for whatever reason, it is your responsibility to open a discussion. Or you can simply revert my changes without much explanation and ask me to justify my changes. The latter is not necessarily the best way. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which explains why you got into a revert war with SJU before.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which brings me back to your lousy character. If I may clarify this to you, this process has long since been completed with the result that no further measures against me are necessary. So what do you want from me now? Maybe you should concentrate on the current situation and heed what I just wrote to you. Otherwise, this might not be our last argument. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:59, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to assume that it's normal that you keep getting reverted.

@Enhancing999: We don't keep empty categories. They can be recreated as soon as they are not empty any more. Yann (talk) 15:38, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are free to create them, especially when part of series.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For what reason? How sure can you be that some of the categories won't remain empty forever? And permanently empty categories are not needed here. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to participate in the discussion.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:46, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the discussion is already closed ;-). Lukas Beck (talk) 15:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  1. There are (rare) times when an empty category should be kept:
    1. One of very few empty categories in a mostly populated series, especially if the series has a prev/next navigation
    2. Certain maintenance categories that we hope to keep empty, but where we want them to be there if the issue in question arises again
    3. A category we expect to have content very soon (e.g. a category for the third day of a conference that is now on its first day).
  2. If someone turns a speedy deletion into a normal discussion, it is almost always correct to let it run its course. Simply reverting them without discussion is only the right thing to do if you are dealing with a vandal, and in this respect no user who is genuinely active in the project should be considered a vandal: we're talking about things like a brand new user or an IP coming along and turning a speedy into a DR with no rationale, or with a transparently absurd rationale.
  3. "you have a bad character" (from Lukas Beck) at least borders on calling for a week's block, and their general tone on this thread does nothing to make me think otherwise.

Sounds to me like a personal attack from user not even involved in the above discussion, but present when Lukas B. runs into conflicts.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 07:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now it is not the first time that this user always interprets criticism against himself, no matter how factual it may be, as a personal attack, then reports his colleagues here instead of first discussing it on the corresponding discussion page and then presents himself as the big victim . And his tone is no less unfriendly towards his colleagues. I still think it's highly problematic. That's why I stick with the factual and reasoned statement that he has a bad character. Our policy of not insulting our colleagues should not prevent us from objectively criticizing our colleagues. And this should certainly not be seen as an excuse to block users. Otherwise it will definitely be the end of a healthy debate culture here on Commons. Lukas Beck (talk) 09:17, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uploaded many files and claimed them to be own work, asked the user to change that to instead link to the source (for OWID files) but the user didn't do so and didn't respond.

Enhancing999

[edit]

Hi, I think we have a problem with Enhancing999 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

  1. First edit-warring with Lukas Beck over deletion of Category:1922 in rail transport in Switzerland (see also Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/10/Category:1877 in rail transport in Switzerland, now recreated, and User talk:L. Beck#Vandalism accusations for changes you seek to implement).
  2. Then reporting Lukas Beck on ANU: [7].
  3. Then this discussion, of which Jim said that it was completely out of place.
  4. Also bothering me on my talk page here.
  5. Finally this discussion on the VP.
  6. And last, but not least, removing other people comments when they don't like it.

Could someone please explain to Enhancing999 that we don't keep empty categories, eventually with stronger terms? Thanks, Yann (talk) 21:56, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Enhancing999: Your behavior in this matter is utterly unacceptable. Cut it out immediately. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:17, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Enhancing999 continues here. Yann (talk) 19:21, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support A block is certainly overdue. This user LOVES to report other users on COM:ANU often for void reasons, and without much attempt to discuss first. Already the fact that they didn't comment anything on this complaint is telling a lot. --A.Savin 19:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • {{s}} all the reasons above and my own experience with them. Bastique ☎ let's talk! 21:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC) Decided to withhold my opinion instead despite my encounter with this user, I've no interest in supporting a block at this time. Bastique ☎ let's talk! 14:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Uncomfortable questions can be a good thing up to a certain amount, but I've also seen Enhancing999 beyond the limit, causing disruption. --Krd 05:16, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose some sanction might be in order, but a block seems excessive to me. Regardless, it would be a good idea if Enhancing999 were to acknowledge that the consensus is clearly against them on where to draw the line for keeping empty categories, and that they should just plain let others (who are overwhelmingly in consensus with each other) make those decisions. - Jmabel ! talk 10:31, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm obviously open to discuss this (even opened the relevant CfD). I think Yann is well aware that their action isn't supported by current Commons policy as stated, at least by 17 Oct, 19:54, so it seems to me that they are using their adminship (by prematurely closing discussions, deleting categories, refusing to participate in the discussions) to force an editorial issue. Coming from an administrator that mainly works on copyright issues, this seems even more problematic.
     ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 12:57, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There is only a small difference. It's not like @Yann clearly violated any guidelines. In fact, various administrators have pointed out to you in various places which rule you are referring to here. And there seems to be a general consensus about this decision. Why can't you submit to that? Lukas Beck (talk) 13:21, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per above.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:40, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • About point 1:
  • About 2: Admin review at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#User:L._Beck concluded that Lukas action wasn't appropriate and their personal attacks should stop. Somehow Yann ignored that review and closed the report despite being personally involved in the matter.
  • About 3: The undeletion request followed the relevant steps. It's unclear based on what that conclusion was reached. I'm working on having that clarified. Admin view in that discussion was that they wouldn't have deleted the category.
  • About 4: I rephrased the question twice, but Yann didn't answer despite responding. It appears they can't explain which Wikimedia Commons policy their action was based on. If they feel bothered by being questioned about their admin actions, the remedy would be to not take any admin actions.
  • About 5: It's strange that Yann doesn't want a discussion on user expectations on how admin actions are explained to take place and makes it into a discussion about himself. As an admin, they aren't even particularly concerned by the question for user expectations. It would be good to have more views there.
  • About 6: As Yann restored the comment, I added a note about its off-topic nature. The comment is indeed not related to the general question asked in the discussion. I should probably have asked an admin to remove it instead. I don't think Yann's comment in that discussion is on topic either; somehow they keep repeating an answer to a question they aren't being asked. In any case, neither explained how their comments would relate to the general topic.

As much as I value Yann's knowledge on copyright, I don't think their approach to categorization discussions is sound. Admin review already deemed their closure as premature. I had the same impression with Yann's actions about Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/07/Category:Cross & Feather Architecture where they didn't even bother to comment and note their action. It lead even more confusion among two fairly new editors.

At this point it is very important for me to mention again that I have never insulted or discriminated against this user. I don't have a good opinion of him, which shouldn't be surprising given his history, and I can and will express my opinion here. And the statement that the user has a bad character is a factual observation that is confirmed time and time again. And as @A.Savin said, you should be able to take criticism. A block here would send a very bad signal when you look at what it means for future communication here on Commons. Should you no longer be allowed to criticize colleagues who are obviously behaving incorrectly, no matter how objectively? If so, I see no future for this project, which thrives on mutual exchange. Lukas Beck (talk) 13:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
About 3: You're not being completely honest here. Not every administrator agreed with you and no administrator saw the need to restore the useless categories. Lukas Beck (talk) 13:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since Enhancing999 is referring to me, 3 is missing context: I said that I usually don't delete empty categories in a sequence, but I also did not see a need to restore it. I pointed out that the category could be recreated once it was no longer empty (or I'd be willing to undelete upon request when it is not empty). Abzeronow (talk) 17:20, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In summary, we should not reopen the discussion about the deleted categories here. We conducted this in a variety of places and always came to the same result. This is about how the user deals with this situation and towards his colleagues. Lukas Beck (talk) 13:37, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From your response I do not see the you are aware of the problem. Do you understand what behaviour is problematic and do try to avoid this in the future? GPSLeo (talk) 14:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly, point 6 was an error. I should have noted that I consider the comment off-topic and asked an admin to remove it.
As a non-admin, I can't really check if the report (point 1.) about the 1922 category is accurate or not, so maybe you can check and confirms to me (and all other non admins), if Yann's allegation is accurate or false.
If the - what I consider - continued personal attacks by Lukas Beck (also in this thread) are acceptable, I can take a note of that so that we all may feel free to do so as well. Personally, I don't think their comment even in this thread are acceptable and an admin should consider opening another thread on them.
If it's generally considered inacceptable to request undeletion of elements deleted by Yann, I'd be happy to comply with this.
If the conversion of a speedy deletion to regular discussion was correctly handled in this case, please state so, so that we can update our procedures.
BTW, can you provide a link to the policies that may back up Yann's deletion decisions.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 15:40, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but the topic has been discussed and we have referred you to the relevant guidelines several times. Just re-read the old discussions or look at the speedy deletion guidelines. This clearly states that meaningless categories can be deleted quickly and which category is to be rated as meaningless and which is not is in the hands of the decisive administrators. And to the previous point, all I can say is that your unacceptable actions are causing counter-reactions, which are logically directed against you. Nobody should insult anyone here, but you should be able to tolerate headwinds up to a certain point. Lukas Beck (talk) 15:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question wasn't addressed to you, L., but I note that in this thread twice L. comments on that point without being able to provide a working wikilink.

I posted the request, but I had not the time to complete it because while editing it, you added that and caused conflict. Given you did that work in "emergency" I had nothing to do more after your instantaneus action. You are just too hurry.' I have not ignored any instruction (and remember that instructions change over time, so I need to check them as well before continuing). Also your claim that I did not respond is wrong (including in your old request done years ago). I have not ignored them but people are not expected to reply instantly to everything, especially if they are offline at that time. Everyone should be allowed several days to post a response to any message, I am not a bot, and not a slave!
You links above show that you've done that extremely rarely: Less that once a year! I have done many other delete requests, and completed them properly, before you detected anything. So why are you complaining here? All was done correctly in appropriate time. If ever something is missing this is an omission that may have been caused by other more urgent edits needed elsewhere, or because there was a temporary network/database problem delaying any further action. You have never complained directly to me about that. Only here. Please keep your calm and be fair.
My request was valid even if it was still not complete and took action immediately on it (and made because the request was done to undo abusive edits (spreading fake facts in many places) that were done by an IP user from Asia (on multiple wikis) polluting Japanese topics everywhere (that Asian IP user uses various IP addresses using his mobile; I am checking now all what he did recepently here in Commons; but there are other wikis as well were he pushed repeated polution with fake edit comments like "love"). verdy_p (talk) 12:48, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Verdy p: I corrected your edit in this edit 10:37, 18 October 2024 (UTC), a full 71 minutes after your edit. You did not take into account the many edits I have made to user talk pages regarding incomplete deletion requests (look for the words "warning" and "reminder" in the Edit Summaries).   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
During those 71 minutes you did not ping me at all, did not contact me. I had a neighbour visiting me. I was gone to bring him to funerals of his father (he has no vehicle to attend there in time), so I was absent for a couple of hours to bring him and make some shopping, before eating and returning home. During these 71 minutes I did not edit anything and did not even read any page on this wiki, to get any notification (the internal logs can easily prove that, I can also prove it by my purchase ticket in a mall and at my bank to get money, and another one to buy a lunch and take a coffea, but this is my normal personal life).
Really, read above: I'm not a slave working 24/7, I'm not a bot like what you operate here for such "railed" maintenance you want to do; and if you want to do things faster, you can do that, but there was absolutely no emergency and during that time you did not even take the time to contact me. I have seen nothing when you were back, except to see that you had completed the work that required no further action from me. Also please don't mix me with other unrelated facts concerning randomly chosen other users: your justifications above are completely unfair and causes just pollution: such arguments are built for infering malicious bias).
Even if I made an error or ommission, or if this was caused by some technical reason, the delay was caused by external factors, consider I'm a human, not a device or service supposed to available nearly 100% of time. That's now the way to cooperate (even respected companies and fovernments give reasonable delays and do not warranty any action during that time or compensation after that). I have not abused the system (and my actions on this wiki are very clear, I've not ignored anything and did not act to introduce any massive "pollution", these edits were correctly followed manually one by one and in correct time; time is also always needed to allow further checks). Unlike bots (including yours), We (humans) all work incrementally by small successive steps. verdy_p (talk) 13:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Verdy p: You forgot to ping me. During those 71 minutes, I was busy sleeping and getting ready for my workday. I corrected your edit as soon as I noticed your edit, pinging you in the process. Then, I researched our previous interactions and determined that further contact with you about this exact issue of creating DR subpages including [[t2|delete}} would be fruitless, as I had already warned you about it nearly two years ago. Then, after more preparations for my workday (including travel and further research), I posted the above in a new section. You responded above after four minutes, before I had a chance to post {{subst:Discussion-notice}}. Note, I have created well over a thousand pages in Commons namespace, most being well-formed DR subpages.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And do so what? We were both busy duringh these 71 minutes. So what's the point for contactuig this board as the only form of "interaction"? Your own history and my own demonstrates exactly the opposite of all what you argued and invented just above, mixing me with also other people. And taking pseudo arguments that are not minutes apart, but several years apart (and then inventing your conclusion, as if I had never replied and noticed your concern if I was ever really involved) is just complete non-sense. You invent your own rules for your preferences. And the only form of "cooperation" taken here, is just a way to harass and ennoy me, and admins or other visitors of this page; adding another set of new lies and invention in your last response, scrambling the chronologies of events, and mixing unrelated people, just makes your arguments above completely pointless. verdy_p (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
