SPI?

• Sorry to bother you again, But I couldn't resist myself from asking this question and it's not been few hours since the earlier sock got blocked, I am seeing similar trends with this account and I am thinking we should take cognizance of this case too. There was this SPI before and now this account is showing similar patterns, same articles (Ambedkar and around), same links as references (velivada and freepressjournal), same way of editing and Single purpose, very new account making experienced edits. Even it's feeding the category on commons created by the same sock-master. All their enwiki article creations are similar as same sock-masters hiwiki and mrwiki article creations. Shall we report this account too? Additionally this got active just hour after the recent sock was blocked yesterday. thanks QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 14:25, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

QueerEcofeminist, Looks like it's the same user. I'd say go for an SPI case. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 00:29, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Also as it looks like they are doing the same on mrwiki, why they are not blocked there? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 00:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

1997kB, mrwiki is another badly handled wiki. Socking, vandalism or anything else nothing happens there. QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 11:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

1997kB, Yes it's a reality that's how, they can do copyvios, socking and abuse women editors, stalk them and go on editing, Sandesh9822 is just one editor who is visible on other projects but including our crat all are the same, crat has been denying any actions and in fact crat himself is using abusive language and threatening others with block tools. QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 17:03, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

QueerEcofeminist, Well that seems really bad.. anyways thanks for info. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:32, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

RfA

Hey 1997kB, closing your RfA as "withdrawn" was not how I envisioned your RfA to go like. I think you should've waited it out as I think you'd have been in the discretionary range at the very least, but that's not my call to make. I hope you don't see the RfA (and its comments) as a lack of confidence of the community in you, the expectations of adminship are just wildly varying and different from time to time. I'm sure your dedication to this project is still very much appreciated by most of the community (and by me as well). Best, qedk (t 桜 c) 10:19, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

• I was sad to see the withdrawal, but I could understand it. The issue of the picture seemed to have distorted the RfA and distracted the discussion from your intrinsics, and our almost crisis-level need for more high-productivity admins in the technical areas (which ultimately are where the mop is mostly used); I think with a few more articles, you will be a strong candidate in 6-12 mths. Best of luck. Britishfinance (talk) 10:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• I echo Britishfinance's sentiments. While there are many editors with far more content experience than I have, if I can help out at all with a review of some work or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks for the work you do across the projects, please don't be disheartened by this. GirthSummit _(blether) 10:47, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• I am familiar with your work on Meta and your successful RfA there, I have seen what real troublemakers do to the site, and I trust Tony's judgement, so I wasn't intending to oppose. Although I have a well-known essay on the importance of content creation for admins, it's not a hard and fast rule, and in certain circumstances (eg: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Cyberpower678 2), I will waver it if I believe it would help the project to do so. I didn't understand what the Challenger joke was about, but that in itself wouldn't be a deal-breaker. The problem is that the English Wikipedia is made up of a diverse community, with everyone having a different view on what's important to the project, and so running a successful RfA is quite difficult - if you haven't got the skills in a particular area, you need to be able to give a convincing explanation as to why it's not a problem, and unfortunately that's where you got stuck. It's why I posed Q4; your answer was reasonable and convincing, but I didn't get a "wow, what a brilliant answer" feeling that I might have got from, say, Cullen328 or Nick Moyes talking about the same thing (and would have led me to support). You're not the only one to be in this position - I think I have publicly stated that Shellwood could do good work as an admin as he's often first on the scene with removing offensive crap from articles on the main page, but if I nominated him for RfA he would be crucified over his lack of content skills. Anyway, I hope this hasn't soured your experience on en-wp, and hope you carry on your work here. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:34, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• Wow, that was a new low in reasons for an RFA to fail, showing an image already hosted on the wiki and previously picture of the day both here and on commons. And, with your pictures rotating on a daily basis, had you launched your RFA on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday you'd have been over the line before anyone noticed... but it's no use crying over spilt milk.

Once you've recovered and gathered your thoughts you might want to consider global sysop. You look to be one of the most cross-wikiest editors around, already a global rollbacker, and global sysop would give you the visibility of deleted articles here that would be beneficial to your SPI work. Just my 2¢. All the best, Cabayi (talk) 12:25, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Praxidicae has put me right on what a global sysop can and can't see. My bad. Cabayi (talk) 12:49, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

• Hey, 1997kB, I'm sorry to see your RfA end so early, but I understand that it was not going as you and your noms had hoped. I'm someone who isn't too concerned with lack of content creation in the case of people who are otherwise what I consider good candidates. I see content creation is hard for you; most editors who require content creation do so because they're concerned that those who aren't content creators may not understand the challenges that content creators face. Use the opposes/neutrals as helpful feedback, try to really take them on board, and maybe consider running again after a while. --valereee (talk) 13:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• Sorry to jump on (particularly as a neutral, after a rough few days), but I'd definitely support with just a couple of C-class articles. I find content tough to do myself, but would be happy to try and help at any point if that would be appreciated. The photo should have been irrelevant, especially once removed. Your competence was clear, I don't think 12 months is needed - 6-9 could be sufficient, though of course if you want to take longer that's perfectly legit. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:47, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• I'm really sorry you felt you had to withdraw your RfA. I think you would be a fine administrator, and I hope you will try again. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:41, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• Hey, keep your head up and do not despair! The picture was for me a non-issue. Veverve (talk) 00:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Content creation

Hi 1997kB. This may or may not be useful, but looking at Auraiya train derailment I thought that it may be worth my flagging up the existence of the Request service of GoCE. A number of content creators who struggle a little to strike an encyclopedic tone in written English run their articles through it to have their rough edges smoothed out. A regular user whom I am aware of who may be able to give you a more objective view of the processes pros and cons is Gazal world. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:17, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

I can get to it in a few days (if you want, 1997kB). I used to be a prolific copyeditor with GOCE in my heydays. Anyone is fine ofc, just putting my name up if you so desire. --qedk (t 桜 c) 19:34, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Rename

Hello. I initially changed the name due to a concern that my identity might be revealed through sufficient research. However, it occurred to me that the name change merely added one easily surmountable obstacle in such a quest. Given that I am no longer concerned by such an event (irrespective of likelihood or curious party) I am happy to revert to the original name.

List of countries by central bank interest rate

I have correctly mentioned the mathematical mistakes in the table on the page.

Please check for Reference, the calculation for Argentina across the columns. Explanation below:

Argentina 	38.00 	5 March 2020[3] 	31.17 	36.83 	2.18 

Subtracting 31.17 from 38.00 gives 6.83 not 36.83.

Such mistakes are many in the table. Please check

George Floyd Philadelphia Edit

I received your message. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is being taken over by contributors with specific viewpoints who can control the narrative of articles they create and moderate. Can you explain why there is no mention of Marxist/Leninist ideology in BLM on their Wiki page? And arguments against criticisms inappropriately placed immediately following said criticism? If you are going to control the content of a page because you don't think it fits into what you believe or want people to read, that is true, you must really be the gatekeeper so why even ask me to write you? Nothing will change. Witnessed Phila GF riots first hand, still feel the repercussions in this city and that's in all areas not just the retail lootings. People whose only access to cashing disability etc money are atms on the fringes of the City, that were blown up "in the name of protest." Things are already too out of hand. If you keep suppressing one side's viewpoint and thinking you can just roll over everyone and local businesses because you feel like it (Just to point out- not saying you personally) people are going to react with harsh measures. And that is what we are seeing. It's insane how the KGB defector Yuri (forget the last name) was interviewed in the early 1980s discussing how academia is innundated with Marxist/Leninist ideals, labeling it such things as "social justice," and that as in CCCP, America was heading for that same fate. And here we are now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.13.141.24 (talk) 04:43, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
