Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Happy because ma story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

May I point your attention at WP:ITNN#September 5? The first entry is ready, but no admin in sight, - the five who usually do it haven't edited in hours, one not even in days. - It's not by me, I just watch the mood and understand. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

On my phone during a work day isn't when I want to try editing something onto the main page for the first time, sorry. If I already had some experience, maybe, but that's out of my wheelhouse. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, and understand. You may have seen that I told Martin a few things, including that in valid "ready" cases like this, they are not rigid about the limit. And indeed, it got posted this morning. (For Maryvonne Le Dizès, however, there was no such "ready" marking when I had to leave home late on that last day, instead only complete ignorance - after one initial support - for three days.) Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday, top of my talk! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

ps: I forgot how long the thread already is, - look for 11 Sep or "Don't canvass about Herbie!". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. - What do you think of my talk page corner for "help wanted", recently recommended? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

That's a great way to seek assistance with articles. I appreciate you taking the criticism and suggestions on board. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

It hasn't worked, though. You haven't visited the DYK nom ;) - So far one person arrived there and at one of the deletion suggestions (the same person), and nobody at the RD nom, the second day. I will not panic again, I will not panic again, I will not ... - (I'll travel, that will help. Tomorrow will be the last day, as in the other case.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

She's my story today ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:18, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Happy to report that all four cases where I said that help was needed have now been resolved. - my story today is about one of the greatest users I had the honour to meet here, mentioned in my edit notice, which often helps me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114, written for today, is one of the pieces in my topic of this year. - I received criticism from two users and had replied. Did you see that? I am generally open to dialogue, - why not use that first before using a method of "criticism" that left me cold? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

How about an answer? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

No, I did not see that. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:42, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - I believe in dialogue ;) - But did you see both criticism and replies (that I tried to post prominently) in the thread that you started on my talk? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I did not see that, no. I have 5500 items on my watchlist and dozens of of subscribed discussions. As I've had limited time for Wikipedia recently I missed a whole lot. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:01, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I understand that very well, but why - under those circumstances - you begin such a thread (that didn't impress me much but caused others trouble I would have liked to see avoided) I still don't know. In case you missed that as well, I felt that you received some questions there (before I even woke up), and I gave you just three questions, with a ping, but you probably receive 50 pings per hour. I'd appreciate if you took some suggestions on board. I'm going to archive the thread with the turn of the month. I looked at my talk page on a mobile today and didn't like the scrolling ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:34, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

My story today features a pic I took from my position in the choir, I can also offer varied delightful music, some from Venice, also with pics I took, - note the rose in the clarinet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:00, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

I didn't archive the thread completely - I have nothing to hide - but shortened it. You have one more month to say shortly what you took away from it, for the future. Yesterday was another similar case: Michael Sladek was nominated for RD, one support only on the last day, and I had to be out. I had learned to not make him my story before he appeared, not even on the last possible day which - to make it harder - was his birthday. I only approached the three admins who had indicated that they were open to such pings (who all had not been available in the other case), and the article received a second support and then a promotion by a fourth admin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

ps: he and his wife are my story today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:51, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

In your RSN clean up...

...you missed this one. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 20:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Sorted, thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:55, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

They're baaaaaaack. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 01:42, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

And someone else has now squooshed it, so you don't need to worry about it. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 01:44, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Disney+

I don't know why you blocked my other account just for editing the Disney+ wiki. Can you please let me edit a wiki page? IAmSoHandsomeToday (talk) 19:32, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

To "IAmSoHandsomeToday:

If I think I know the name of that account which has been blocked indefinitely to every Wikipedia page including all user talk pages like this one, you are not permitted to edit during the block on the other account. That definitely applies to both Disney+ and this talk page (since the block on the "other account" affects all types of page), therefore sockpuppetry seems to be admitted. I doubt ScottishFinnishRadish will grant that promise to edit any wiki page. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet, i am a real person! 2603:6010:B200:8E63:4101:DEAF:2750:5A2A (talk) 20:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry explains better. The first point is part of the method which I've noticed possible logged out editing.

' Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay. But i have the right to edit a wiki page if i want to, 2603:6010:B200:8E63:79E7:3DD4:BA9E:1EC9 (talk) 20:36, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Question

you removed verified and trusted references from Reuters.181.197.42.215 (talk) 05:13, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Please review WP:ECR and the messages I left on your talk page. You cannot make any edits relating to the Arab/Israel conflict except for edit requests on article talk pages. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 09:15, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

ARBPIA question

Hello again, I noticed that you AE protected Gold Apollo AR924. Does that also mean WP:Articles for deletion/Gold Apollo AR924 is under WP:ECR? If so, I think the AfD page may need EC protection since there are several IPs and new accounts that have participated there. I can help clean up, or you can, either way is fine. Left guide (talk) 05:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

That AfD is a bit in the middle. I didn't indefinitely protect the paper article, since it's not primarily about the conflict, so if the IPs at the AfD aren't discussing the conflict, it's fine. I'll review the AfD when I have a chance. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 09:16, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

I tidied up and protected. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:03, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Need help with a page please

Hello @ScottishFinnishRadish, hope all is well! I am reaching out to an admin for some help please. I noticed that a page I edited, Louis Lagassé, has been changed because the material I posted is unfavourable to the subject in question. It is however properly sourced. I also suspect that the user Media5130 has a conflict of interest in the matter. Here is the diff:[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Louis_Lagass%C3%A9&diff=prev&oldid=1248834866] . Thank you in advance for any help. Pramod8375 (talk) 12:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

I have removed the section entirely. WP:BLP is clear on this, Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

OK, thank you. For clarification, if newspapers published articles relating to the mentioned court records, can I use them as sources? Should I rewrite the article with more sources? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Pramod8375 (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

If there is sustained secondary coverage of the lawsuits demonstrating that it is WP:NOTNEWS then that would be what you'd have to use to have a mention in the article. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:47, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

October music

story · music · places

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Today I remember an organist who was pictured on the Main page on his birthday ten years ago, and I found two recent organ concerts to match, - see top of my talk (and below there I have another call for collaboration) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:22, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Today brought a timely promotion of Helmut Bauer to the Main page on the day when pieces from Mozart's Requiem were performed for him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

A user refusing to change a username which violates a username policy

I have a question User talk:Garethbot has made a claim that his username is hbot therefore not violating username policy he then says im a bot why don’t i have the bot tag
He then ignores me and continues editing what should i do. report him but he’s editing in good faith he’s just confused and i tried explaining •Cyberwolf•talk? 14:28, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

You can report them to WP:UAA, and there is also Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Edit notices on ECR talks

Hi, I've noticed you've been doing a lot of ECR talk page enforcement for WP:CT/AI; one well-intentioned editor brought up a point of inquiry about placing an edit notice on ECR talks to warn non-EC editors about the edit requests-only rule. I'm sure this would have to go to/through ARBCOM, but I'm really not too familiar with how ARBCOM works so I figured I'd come here for your insight anyway. :) estar8806 (talk) ★ 02:34, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt, but no one would read it. I think it's already in the edit notice as well, but banner blindness is real. I normally leave a {{welcome-arbpia}} most of the time when I revert, which lays it out in plain language. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 02:37, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

WP:* IP cleanup

From the [history] page of an article, there's at least one way of rev-del'ing lots of revisions at once (even non-consecutive ones by multiple editors). Might be useful for the current spate of disruption, given how obvious and extensive these edits are on any one page. That would definitely be less explosive for our watchlists of these pages (and possibly more efficient for you as well). DMacks (talk) 16:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

That would necessitate waiting until the disruption paused to make the revision deletions, wouldn't it? I normally just block, revert, and revdel from the contribs page. Their efforts at disruption aren't really worth more than the minimum of effort to counter, so if I can do it in a few taps on one page I do it that way. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:59, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Might be even faster then to semi-protect the page as the first step (stop it from getting worse)? DMacks (talk) 17:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

User talk:99.237.230.117

Hi, can you please remove TPA for User talk:99.237.230.117 after they kept on going on slur-filled rants after their block? They also already used an antisemitic slur (which I've removed) just before you blocked them. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:55, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

All set. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:13, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Unblock requests

Note that I wouldn't have lifted your block without consulting you if it was a direct block on that user, or if I had any doubt about the WP:CHECKUSER technical evidence. This was a pretty straight-forward case, though. Nothing wrong with your original block on the other account, and autoblocks help far, far more often than they hurt. Hope you have a great day! --Yamla (talk) 17:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, that wasn't a dig at you, and if you ever think I've placed a block in error you're more than welcome to unblock without consulting me. It's just that normally I see you declining unblock requests from people like this. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:08, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeap. It really makes my day when I get to accept an unblock request. So, so, so many unblock requests just completely miss the point. That particular user... I hope once the U.S. election is over, most of this nonsense goes away. But, I'm a hopeless optimist. --Yamla (talk) 17:17, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Is General 1RR still a thing or is it 1-per-page?

Hi, hope you don't mind a quick clarification. Is there still a 1-revert-in-all-ARBPIA-topic rule? Or is it 1-per-page? I could've sworn there was a General 1RR in place. However, I cannot find where that is clearly enumerated. Can you help me, please, when you have a minute? Andre🚐 22:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

It's per page. Topic wide wouldn't be enforceable, I don't think. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh ok, so Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Palestine-Israel_articles#General_1RR_restriction and Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel_articles_4#Amendment_(December_2019) are no longer in effect, right? Huh. I wonder why I thought it was. Andre🚐 23:50, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

That was still just a page sanction applied to every page in the topic area, I believe. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:06, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion. Not sure what happened in my alternate universe. Must be one of those Mandela Effects. Andre🚐 00:32, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

No worries. There's a lot of sanctions and prior sanctions and adjusted sanctions and discretionary to CTOP adjustments. I've made some mistakes myself keeping track of it all. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:54, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

User IdanST

Hi, I have limited experience but wanted to check in on a user that seems to have been restricted for edits. Some of their edits extend to the Wiki page for Ole Sæter in which they used minor edits with misleading descriptions to remove references to Gaza Genocide. There was another IP address making similar edits. If you are willing to take a look, I saw you were involved with said user and wanted your guidance to avoid making that page into an edit war. Carthradge (talk) 20:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

You cannot make any edits that deal with the Arab/Israel conflict because of the extended-confirmed restriction in place in the topic area. I've reverted both of you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:49, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. Note that the version you restored to includes edits by the other user that were not reverted. I'd ask that you take a look at the page and determine what context should be provided. Personally, I am fine with the version by IvanScrooge98 that included both wordings. I will not be editing the page given the notice. I imagine maybe the page should be restricted in some way given its direct involvement around that topic.
