Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard

Unofficial anagram of ANI

BeachBunnyGirl recently asked me for assistance in de-blacklisting an article, since I'd been involved in the article in the past. In short, several years ago there was a rash of spamming in our article about a lake resort town, Put-in-Bay, Ohio, and several of the links ended up being blacklisted. One of them, the useful website of the village's chamber of commerce, was used in the infobox: there being no official website for the village, those of us discussing the situation at talk chose to use the CofC site in its stead. However, someone's since replaced the CofC site with spam, and as the CofC site is blacklisted (on Meta, not here), it can't be put it back without de-blacklisting. Since it's on the Meta blacklist, and since it's not likely to be useful anywhere except this individual en:wp article, I left a note at the Meta admin noticeboard requesting whitelisting assistance, but I was told that I needed to add it to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist here at en:wp.

Well, the person who is referenced in the Talk section of that Wiki at https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Put-in-Bay,_Ohio#4_years_of_Edgewater_Investment_Group_(Ohio)_spam_on_Wikipedia has now gone in and started doing the same thing again to the link at the bottom of the page for the fake Convention Bureau. There is no Bureau on the island. The only thing close is the Chamber of Commerce which helps all visitors to the island, regardless of who you are. And no, I am not a shill for the CoC nor this business person, just an average citizen.

Just as an FYI, the NEW CoC website is visitputinbay.com and is in use because this business owner took the .org version for his own use. Thus, it should not be cause by the blacklist since it does not start with "putinbay".

Whitelisting - part 3

Sorry for the above, I don't know why it got brok up into 3 sections, trying again...

Thank you for looking into this. It is just unfair that a private business owner has a direct link on Wiki to a fake website that promotes his businesses and income above those of anyone else on the island. That is not what Wikipedia is supposed to be all about. At least not what they told us in our classes at OSU last semester.

ALSO, you will see that this user has been making changes to the wiki using the username PutinBayRealEstate.

Thus, it should not be cause by the blacklist since it does not start with "putinbay". They also use the domain name put-in-bay.com which should work ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeachBunnyGirl (talk • contribs) 17:23, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

History?

What just happened to the history of the noticeboard? This edit shows everything that changed. Why was a lot of the hitory removed?  Nixinova  T  C  19:05, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

The history was oversighted. You won't be told why since that level of removal is reserved for serious breaches of privacy. --Majora (talk) 19:09, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Moved to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents § A user should be blocked

This User:Pedrojohan14 should be blocked for his disruptive behavior in this article European Cup and UEFA Champions League records and statistics, you can read the talk section and edit history of the article to see how I afford him assistance to solve the issues of unsourced content but he kept reverting the edits over and over and over and over ... again ! I wonder what the admins are doing to allow such madness to occur.

I kindly ask to block this user for good, because he refuses to cooperate and keeps spamming the article by deleting sourced content with his own info. 110.163.134.17 (talk) 16:07, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Requesting administrator's help

Can you help me understand how to move along the posting at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Ad hominem by Expectant of Light regarding personal attacks, attacks on people because of their nationality/heritage, and lastly questioning being blocked on Persian Wikipedia for having said something about someone's homosexuality?

For instance,

• put together a proposal for folks to vote on?
• post a request for administrator's help?
• something else?

Thanks!!!–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:42, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
