Thanks for

the page protection.

By the way, you know I spent some time way up north — in Resolute Bay, and on Devon Island, courtesy of First Air. Hope you're getting ready to enjoy your upcoming few weeks of summer! :p -Darouet (talk) 22:06, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Darouet. Hope you enjoyed your stay up there and that it wasn't in the middle of winter. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:15, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

well, that was awkward

It seems that the blocking script I used accidentally blocked you rather than the intended target. My sincerest apologies, if I may. And should I make it to Cambridge Bay, I certainly now owe you drink (although I don't make it much further than Yellowknife these days). Although, if you are going to have your block log tarnished, at least it is by someone as distinguished as myself. Once again, mea culpa. --kelapstick(bainuu) 16:08, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Ha! CBW, that'll teach you to try and spam your weather here for err... twelve years :D —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 16:13, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
kelapstick And I was so busy locking myself out of my own Wi-Fi that I didn't even notice. You should have left me blocked until I noticed. No worries, these things happen. Some years ago someone accidentally reported me at one of the vandalism boards. It's all good and gave me a chuckle. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:02, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) I always says block logs "add character" to an account. Softlavender (talk) 18:39, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
​ Kind of wish I didn't have quite so much character though  ;) —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 18:45, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes, well just because CBW is a character, it does not mean that he has character. Well at least not until now. You're in good company, I was accidentally blocked by DGG quite a few years ago, and look at me now! (well maybe I am not so great an example). Cheers, --kelapstick(bainuu) 19:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
At least neither of us accidentally blocked ourselves. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:14, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Next step?

Another admin and I disagree with an admin's choice of speedily deleting a photo. I have tried discussing on their talk page and they have either ceased discussion or forgotten to respond. Even if the discussion does/did continue I don't see it going anywhere. What should the next step be? TheDoctorWho (talk) 20:51, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

TheDoctorWho. I think I need a bit more information. What was the name of the image. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Link to the deleted image: File:Hawaii Five-0 Season 8 Cast.jpg and link to the original discussion: User talk:Orangemike#File:Hawaii Five-0 Season 8 Cast.jpg. Also thanks for taking a look at this. TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:12, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
TheDoctorWho. That does seem a little strange. I would think the best thing is to take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:30, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2018).

Administrator changes

added None
removed Al Ameer son • AliveFreeHappy • Cenarium • Lupo • MichaelBillington

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in June. This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team will build granular types of blocks in 2018 (e.g. a block from uploading or editing specific pages, categories, or namespaces, as opposed to a full-site block). Feedback on the concept may be left at the talk page.
  • There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups.
  • It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked.

Arbitration

  • A recent technical issue with the Arbitration Committee's spam filter inadvertently caused all messages sent to the committee through Wikipedia (i.e. Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee) to be discarded. If you attempted to send an email to the Arbitration Committee via Wikipedia between May 16 and May 31, your message was not received and you are encouraged to resend it. Messages sent outside of these dates or directly to the Arbitration Committee email address were not affected by this issue.

Request for help with COI issue

Can I ask you to review the edits made by Jules Kos for appropriate action? This editor has made a declaration of a Conflict of Interest on the subject of the Flight Design CT aircraft series and yet continues to try to use the page as well as the Flight Design page to promote the company and its products. I have warned him numerous times on User talk:Jules Kos to comply with WP:COI, but he continues to try to add obvious advertising and promotional text and photos to the articles. I have warned him that he risks being blocked, but he has ignored all warnings and persists in trying to use the articles to promote the company. Thank you for whatever action you deem appropriate. - Ahunt (talk) 12:37, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey CambridgeBayWeather, can you remove the move page protection on Kids See Ghost since there is now reliable sources that say the duo are called "Kids See Ghosts". Thanks, Vistadan 22:18, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Edit request

Hello. I see that you've protected Swiss sovereign money referendum, 2018. I would like to propose this at AfD. The reason is

Aside from the statement that this event occurred and that the referendum was defeated, this article consists entirely of OR, UNDUE, SYNTH association of unrelated events, and COATRACK snippets of opinion and fringe advocacy.

Can you facilitate this? Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 12:00, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Greetings. I guess by now you must have understood that your speedy deletion nomination for this article on the basis of WP:G5 was without merit.

Take care, anyway. -The Gnome (talk) 08:36, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

moe. (band) page fix

Hi, there. As a fan of the jam-band, moe., I was curious as to why the band's page was vandalized, and have created an account to fix it. Unfortunately, you have locked the page, but with the vandalization still present. Up until today, the article has had the right spelling, including the full-stop at the end of their name. now it is listed as a style, but that is not right. Please review the band's own website, if you need to delve further (moe.org), or even All Music's listing for the band. I'm not sure what happened, but I think you can fix this. Thank you, and I hope to be a good editor like yourself! Cheers! TomE2n (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

I see that I may fix the page, but I don't want to step on someone's toes. Could you change the page to show "moe." instead of the other way, please? Then you should do a full lock, and let people submit new stuff in the talk page only. Thanks in advance. TomE2n (talk) 15:35, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, sir. I am just a fan of the band moe.. I am not going to attempt to jump into your fire, but I have created an account to help fix the band's name. I will use diplomacy, not edit wars. I see that the page was changed multiple times over the past few days, and I will say that the band is called "moe." (complete with the full-stop). I don't care what your fight was about, and am not going to spar with you. I am asking that the person who locked the page please look at locking it further, to prevent these vandalizations from logged in editors from taking place.

Edit warring by new editor User:Swashik

Hi @CambridgeBayWeather: can you please assist in warning this new editor User talk:Swashik from edit warring with multiple users. It seems like the users history involves edit warring. Furthermore, I am suspicious this user is connected to Tiarapawn as they appeared at the same time and have similar editing style. Furthermore, I am here since the user removed my note from the users' take page and RegentsPark will be traveling until July 9th. Thank you! (Highpeaks35 (talk) 12:16, 24 June 2018 (UTC))

Hello-

I have been going through all the games listed in List of Commodore 64 games (A-M) and have been wondering what to do with dead links I find. Not knowing what to do, I have been adding references to Talk:List of Commodore 64 games (A–M). I noticed that you had deleted one of the articles on here and thought perhaps you can offer guidance. Perhaps the best thing for me to do is simply leave the links dead and stop polluting the talk page? If so, should I add links for games I find (for instance, there appear to be two games called "Crossroads" released for C64).

-Thanks! RampagingCarrot (talk) 18:39, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Rampagingcarrot. I'm not sure what the requirement is for video games. If I find a person has been added to a city as "notable" but is a red link without some sort of reference I would remove it but video games may be different. The one I deleted was a PROD so it could be added back any time. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:11, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – July 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2018).

Administrator changes

added Pbsouthwood • TheSandDoctor
readded Gogo Dodo
removed Andrevan • Doug • EVula • KaisaL • Tony Fox • WilyD

Bureaucrat changes

removed Andrevan • EVula

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC about the deletion of drafts closed with a consensus to change the wording of WP:NMFD. Specifically, a draft that has been repeatedly resubmitted and declined at AfC without any substantial improvement may be deleted at MfD if consensus determines that it is unlikely to ever meet the requirements for mainspace and it otherwise meets one of the reasons for deletion outlined in the deletion policy.
  • A request for comment closed with a consensus that the {{promising draft}} template cannot be used to indefinitely prevent a WP:G13 speedy deletion nomination.

Technical news

  • Starting on July 9, the WMF Security team, Trust & Safety, and the broader technical community will be seeking input on an upcoming change that will restrict editing of site-wide JavaScript and CSS to a new technical administrators user group. Bureaucrats and stewards will be able to grant this right per a community-defined process. The intention is to reduce the number of accounts who can edit frontend code to those who actually need to, which in turn lessens the risk of malicious code being added that compromises the security and privacy of everyone who accesses Wikipedia. For more information, please review the FAQ.
  • Syntax highlighting has been graduated from a Beta feature on the English Wikipedia. To enable this feature, click the highlighter icon () in your editing toolbar (or under the hamburger menu in the 2017 wikitext editor). This feature can help prevent you from making mistakes when editing complex templates.
  • IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in July (previously scheduled for June). This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.

Miscellaneous

  • Currently around 20% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 17% a year ago. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless if you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

I will take any action now or in the future to make sure that the Indonesia sections back to 07:14, 22 March 2018.

You can take my word for it.

That's not how it works. You don't replace sourced material with stuff that has nothing. Go to the talk page (Talk:Chinese New Year and bring sources so that you can discuss your suggested edits. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 02:34, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Either you bring back the paragraph 2 or I will doing this for the rest of my life and you doing this over and over again. If the english sentences and grammar are not correct then someone should fix it but not deleting the original content. The content is true and worth as for knowledge especially for the overseas Chinese and nobody has ever dare to write it down before.

Administrators' newsletter – August 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018).

Administrator changes

added Sro23
readded KaisaL • Ymblanter

Guideline and policy news

  • After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
  • Following a request for comment, the WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

Baffin, Unorganized

Hi! I couldn't help but notice you undid one of my revisions: renaming "Unorganized Baffin" back to "Baffin, Unorganized". Yes, it is the "official" StatsCan name, but it seems to be agreed that a natural language title is preferred over StatsCan's index-card titling. You are welcome to join the (still active for some reason) discussion here. FUNgus guy (talk) 04:27, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

RE: unpublished “Superhero Landing” pages Can you help me out a little bit, I think I've got the point (notability), but what verifiable source(s) I can use (except IMDb, of course) while this title is in production? I had found the series Fandom Community (http://superherolanding.wikia.com), there is a lot more info about the series than on official IMDb page, but I don't think that is qualify for verifiable source to Wikipedia. Adrew Knowl (talk) 20:19, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

RE: Superhero Landing, draft space

Thank you for clarification, I'd read (here, before starting to create a draft) that the TV Show must have (at least) IMDb page (be listed there) to have their own Wikipedia page. Ok, at least I had practicing in wiki Adrew Knowl (talk) 18:40, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Kalyanasundaram

This page is currently creation-protected. Can it be recreated as a DAB page listing Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram, Thiru. V. Kalyanasundaram, M. Kalyanasundaram, K. Kalyanasundaram, P. V. Kalyanasundaram and B. Kalyanasundaram? --Kailash29792 (talk) 05:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Thanks for reviewing Christina Quarles, CambridgeBayWeather.

Unfortunately Vexations has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

This page has a serious CoI issue. I reviwed another version of it as an autobiography.

To reply, leave a comment on Vexations's talk page.

Vexations (talk) 22:04, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Vexations I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand you. I didn't review that page. I never do page reviews. I found this so I went to Wikipedia:Christina Quarles and moved it over while suppressing the redirect. I then restored the history but at no time did I perform a review. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:30, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
it's not a huge deal, but since you're an admin, you autopatrolled Christina Quarles. I just think there are some CoI issues that needed to be dealt with. Vexations (talk) 00:17, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Brexit

Thanks for your recent addition of protection on this article. Just FYI I made a recent second attempt at this ANI submission only for it to be picked up by trolls rather than an administrator. See also this recent diff and this one aimed at other editors.

On a related note I think this RfC may have run its course, could you possibly close it? Thanks. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 15:15, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

The Vintage Feminist. Sorry but I don't really understand the whole discussion. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather. Do you mean the RfC? --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 18:20, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes. I'm confused about where the Section 13 comes in when it starts off originally about Clause 9. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather. There's the theory of what this is about – and then there is the reality.
  • The theory: Acts of Parliament start off as Bills. Amendments are added / removed which affects the numbering ("note 1" of this in the second paragraph of the lead section) points this out. The thing to look at is the text of clause 9 versus the text of clause 13 which I placed in 2 collapsible boxes on the talk page diff (bottom of page). A simple matter of WP:COMMONNAME and WP:COMMONSENSE.
  • The reality: The UK is due to leave the EU on 29th March 2019. Imagine if the Brexit negotiations between the UK and the EU were to break down – "no deal" – the government revealed the plans it has in place for such a scenario last week "What do the government's Brexit "no-deal" papers reveal?" (BBC). Under the "meaningful vote" the government has to go back to parliament and say what its going to do.
Dominic Grieve and pro-Remainers wanted enough time to discuss it properly in parliament before 29th March. All the speakers in this clip are from the Conservative Party, Grieve first and between 3.30 mins to 4.20 mins the Solicitor General, Robert Buckland speaking on behalf of the government and agreeing to tweak the amendment.
Leavers do not want the meaningful vote to exist, and if it has to then it should not have a Wikipedia page. Other obscure uses of the term have been actively sought (diff and my reply diff). No deal could precipitate a second referendum, there's an attempt to censor that too Talk:European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018#Avoid POV promoting campaign for a second vote and Template talk:United Kingdom in the European Union#Genesis and branding of the Brexit (also see People's Vote and The Independent's "final say" campaign and vandal's diff). They also do not want the Wikipedia page for European Parliament election, 2019 (United Kingdom) see Talk:European Parliament election, 2019 (United Kingdom)#Just. Delete. The. Page.
Further info: Grieve being interviewed on Sky News, a few days later Grieve backed a second referendum "Brexit: Dominic Grieve backs new referendum as 'sensible way' out of Britain's political crisis" (The Independent).
At the weekend (Sun 27th August) the Press Association reported that, according to a leaked memo, People's Vote were attempting to secure a motion calling for a second referendum at the 2018 Labour Party conference, Campaigners seek motion on second Brexit vote at Labour conference that would make it Labour Party policy to pursue a second Brexit vote. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 01:04, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2018).

Administrator changes

added None
removed Asterion • Crisco 1492 • KF • Kudpung • Liz • Randykitty • Spartaz
renamed Optimist on the run → Voice of Clam

Interface administrator changes

added Amorymeltzer • Mr. Stradivarius • MusikAnimal • MSGJ • TheDJ • Xaosflux

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.

Technical news

  • Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour.
  • Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title.
  • Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age.

Arbitration

  • The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of Checkuser and Oversight appointments. The usernames of all applicants will be shared with the Functionaries team, and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

Protection

Sir, List of highest-grossing Indian films need extended-protection as some auto-confirmed users are making problematic changes. Unlike other film industries, Indian cinema don't have any trusted box office tracking services and collections are often exaggerated. Any merely auto-confirmed fan-account can add content with challengeable references. Recently, user Mollywood.lover (apparently a single-purpose a/c) added a disputed addition ignoring former long-standing discussions against it on talk page. It was after those discussions were cleaned by an archive bot that this user deceptively came back to add it with same challenged references. Similar unverified edits are common in that page.137.97.117.151 (talk) 12:45, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Recovering a deleted page

Hello, I just wanted to (re)create the page for Egzon Bejtullai (which was previously deleted as at that time he did not meet the requirements, but he now made a debute for the Macedonian national football team) and when I clicked to create the page it said that if I want to reactivate the old one I should message you. So, Id like to ask you to either reactivate or help me on how the rules go and how can I reopen his profle. Greetings Msb73505 (talk) 10:51, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Animasia Studio Protection Removal

Hi,

I saw that 3 years ago you locked and protected this page from being recreated over and over again. I now request permission to create this page again. I did disclose that I am a paid employee of Animasia Studio on my userpage but I hope that I can make this work as well. I have created a draft for the page and am wondering the best way to submit it as I am a recent autoconfirmed user. I hope you understand.

Thanks and regards,

YusufAnimasia. What you should do is create Draft:Animasia Studio, making sure to use sources that have nothing to do with the company, and then submit it for review. There is Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation and Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Hope that helps. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:05, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Recent Page Protection - The Apprentice (UK series thirteen)

I have just noticed that this article has been placed under protection because of an editing dispute. I like to point out that me and another editor attempted to edit these articles to remove Original Research from them, by replacing the information in section Episodes, with an Episode Table. However, another editor disputed this on grounds that they could not justify - rather than use common sense, they claimed there was no condensed episode summary, instead of providing a summary themselves, and claiming that changes should be brought to the talkpage of the article, when the suggestions were being made within an AfD for the article in question. They even had the nerve to give me an edit warning when they were involved in this themselves.

I'm was in the process of sorting out the episode table with condensed episode summaries, per MOS:TVPLOT, last night, and saved it into my Sandbox. I was hoping to finish it off and put it in, so as to maintain the notability of the article was sound, rather than a mess with all the OR in it.GUtt01 (talk) 08:04, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

The 1st Seoul Awards

The full award name is "The Seoul Awards" though. See: https://theseoulawards.com/screening/institution. 1st The Seoul Awards is correct or "The 1st The Seoul Awards" would be correct for the inaugural ceremony. And now that there are two award ceremonies, I rewrote the page The Seoul Awards like how the main award page APAN Star Awards contains the main award winners. Not sure what's the problem with it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transformal (talk • contribs) 00:48, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

And now that you restored the page, The 1st Seoul Awards and The Seoul Awards has the exact same content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transformal (talk • contribs) 00:50, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Transformal. The problem is that you moved The Seoul Awards and then re-wrote it. In doing so erased the contributions of other editors. What you should have done was created the 1st The Seoul Awards and at the same time updated The Seoul Awards. You can still do that but don't move stuff. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:01, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

I found a reliable English source (Korea Herald) here: [2]. So yea I think the correct name is "first The Seoul Awards". Transformal (talk) 01:13, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Dussehra (film)

Hi, any thoughts about what can be done at Dussehra (film)? We seem to have an IP hopper there who is insisting on changing the spellings - there have been at least three attempts since yesterday. I've put a note on the article talk but I don't think they're going to see it.

I have checked the existing sources, such as they are, and the spellings of the film name and producer etc as used by me seem to align with them. Indeed, I think we once had an article for the producer using "Hoshing" as the spelling, around the time when people were spamming umpteen articles related to the film, several of which were deleted. - Sitush (talk) 16:19, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Sitush. I've semi-protected it for a week. Let me know if it resumes after that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:12, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
OK, thanks very much. The anon was also claiming that the film is released later this month; hopefully things will settle down soon after that. - Sitush (talk) 01:45, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Well, people are still making unsourced changes, despite the semi-protection. - Sitush (talk) 09:13, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Urgent Semi-Protection request - The Apprentice (UK series fourteen)

I would like to request urgent Semi-Protection on this article - some joker of an IP User thinks its funny to return the article to a state where it can be allowed to take in an influx of OR and favour fans of the respective programme, when consensus has swayed towards turning away from that and removing such content.GUtt01 (talk) 21:36, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I will do that, if it is the case. Hopefully the joker will not attempt that. I'll leave a HIDDEN TXT message advising editors not to revert the layout in the Episodes section per consensus over the issues highlighted in a recent AfD of that page and several others for the respective programme. As far as I'm concerned, the table and charts concerning episode results can be altered; the episodes section can just list Episode title, airdate, viewing figures (when available), and the Short Sum for it.GUtt01 (talk) 21:45, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Info/Bio Change For Markle, Meghan a Retired Film And Television Actress

Good evening CambridgeBayWeather.

Do you know anything about a current member of the UK royal family named Meghan Markle? She used to be an actress who was best known as Rachel Zane in the USA Network drama series Suits from June 5, 2011 to April 25, 2018.

On the night of August 30 I went to her talk page and typed a note about getting her info changed but a user told me to refrain from making comments about modifying a page.

Instead of her article saying that she is "an American-born member of the British royal family and a former film and television actress. Markle was born in Los Angeles, and is of mixed-race heritage" it should be changed into "an American member of the British royal family. Prior to her marriage to Prince Harry, she was best known for her role as Rachel Zane in the USA Network drama series Suits from 2011 to 2018. Born in Los Angeles, Markle is of mixed-race heritage."

Another admin who goes by the name of Amory deleted it because she dubbed it as a "spammy threat."

Reply back to me as quick as you can. Source: wiki.riteme.site/w/Meghan_Duchess_of_Sussex

Also what Safiel was referring to when the said "Additionally, please refrain from making comments unrelated to improving an article on talk pages. "was the "Lastly, tomorrow marks the 21st anniversary of Princess Diana's passing. God rest her soul." comment. They didn't tell you to not make the other request.

Query - Do's and Don'ts with Short Summaries of Episode Tables

Hi, could you help me out with something? I want to avoid a rather difficult disagreement on the Short Sums of Episode Tables that I am having with another editor, progress into an edit war, by knowing what Short Sums should be consisting of for a Non-Fiction, Reality Show. My argument is that for episodes of The Apprentice, they should outline key details, give a brief insight of what candidates dealt with and such like, but not giving out specific details - instead, giving a basic description, per WP:TVPLOT. Their argument is that there should be details of specific scenes in the episodes, which I don't agree to, and his recent argument to a reversion I made is to ask why his is not neutral, favouring fans, and why I should act like I want to be "hush-hush" to nonfans of the show.

Block Request - IP User 42.3.186.45

Could you put a block on this IP User, as I just found out that they have resumed a minor bit of disruptive editing on Britain's Got Talent (series 8), believing it wouldn't be noticed after having been blocked for a month from August, until near the end of September about over a week ago. They have been making a minor change in information that goes against what is stated by a provided citation - they keep changing the results for two semi-finalists, switching who was 8th and who was 9th in one of the semi-finals, not giving any reason for the change, and clearly not seeing the citation at all and noting that it states otherwise.

Rowley Island

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be searchable, but you can manually look it up using Statistics Canada's GeoSearch function. If you zoom in to the island, you will see in the middle of it the census block in question. If you click on the block you will see it has a reported population of 62 and 20 private dwellings. The census block that covers the remainder of the island (as well as the Melville Peninsula, half of Baffin Island and other nearby islands) has a total population of 0. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:39, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

2019 MotoGP Season Page

Thank you for protecting the 2019 MotoGP season page because of persistent vandalism. (I just don't understand why people try to put up unsourced material).

However, I noticed that you didn't actually revert the latest vandalism before you protected the page.

Yes, it is generally accepted that the plan at BQR is for Tito Rabat to stay with the team and for Karel Abraham to take Xavier Simeon's seat. But, because Simeon's contract was announced as a 2 year deal in September 2017 (as per the reference), we have to base the table on what has been officially announced. (Also, Rabat's current injury is putting doubts on whether he is able to return).

So, could you revert it so that Xavier Simeon is listed for BQR rather than Tito Rabat.

Thanks. I just protect pages and don't try and for the most part don't try and figure out the correct version. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 09:00, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protection says it "(expires 01:39, 28 October 2018 (UTC))", [3] which is not "4 days" [4]. Is something wrong, or am I in the Twilight Zone (which, frankly, might be a welcome relief)? Softlavender (talk) 01:29, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Softlavender Not sure how that happened. There is a drop down box and 1 hour is at the top with 2 days as the default. Instead of scrolling down I must have scrolled up. Thanks for catching it. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:35, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Recent Observation on Wikipedia - November 2018

Hi there, I like to ask, if possible, if you could put some semi-protection on Anthony McPartlin for about a week - there's been a couple of IP users over the past few days who decided to vandalise the article in a rather childish manner. GUtt01 (talk) 10:55, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Animasia Studio (November 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by K.e.coffman were:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Teahouse logo
Hello, CambridgeBayWeather! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! K.e.coffman (talk) 01:18, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
K.e.coffman. I'm not disappointed because it wasn't really me that was tagging it. See User talk:CambridgeBayWeather#Animasia Studio Protection Removal I was just doing it to help a new user. Perhaps the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script needs tweaking so that it gives the user the opportunity to message the correct person rather than the one adding the review tag. Also, I think I'll pass on the Teahouse invite as I'm not a great tea drinker. If there was a coffeehouse similar to the ones I used to frequent in my youth in London I would certainly attend but I think they would be far to social for Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr.Prathap Kumar

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dr.Prathap Kumar, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Daiyusha (talk) 10:08, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Daiyusha. You should have used a R3 for that as it was a redirect that I forgot to suppress when moving. I deleted it anyway. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:13, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather My bad, I was putting a csd on Dr pratap kumar page using Twinkle , but the redirect was put in the time gap between me opening tw and submitting tags. Daiyusha (talk) 10:15, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Daiyusha. No problem. I didn't delete the main article as I'm fixing moves right now. Probably should go though. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:18, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Yes please delete the main article. If you look in the history, myself and SamHolt6 have actually been having a problem with this editor and their promotional pages. First they created a totally promotional, copyrighted version of this person [5] and then (on the now recently deleted page) they claim they own the website, indicating a COI. Sam left them a note and moved it to draft but they have now re-created the page (as you can see). As it is now early morning where both Sam and I are we were going to wait for the morning but I couldn't sleep so here I am again. Oh well, there's worse things to be addicted to. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 10:20, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
OK. I deleted it now. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:28, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Request

We're having a problem with persistent long-term IP vandalism at Trisquel. Warning the person repeatedly has not had any effect. Could you please "semi" it for at least a month? Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 12:53, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Ahunt start with two weeks and see after that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 13:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you! - Ahunt (talk) 15:06, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Looks like the vandalism returned the second the semi-protection expired. Can we try something longer term? - Ahunt (talk) 01:00, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Ahunt. I've gone with 2 months this time. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:02, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Pacific Coach Lines / YVR Skylynx

Please note that PCL will stop operating the Skylynx service on 11th December 2018.

YVR Skylynx is the name of the new operator that will operate the service from 12th December 2018 and is not related to PCL.

Please can you undo the change to link PCL to YVR Skylynx as they are separate companies.

Note that "Skylynx" brand is actually owned by Vancouver Airport!

Many thanks,

Simon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonhill11 (talk • contribs) 08:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Simonhill11. It needs a reference and it isn't 12 December yet. The Pacific Coach Lines site still indicates that it is running via YVR Skylynx. By the way which article did you mean, the two I mentioned or Squamish, British Columbia or Whistler, British Columbia. Right now it looks like a bit of spamming for the Skylynx company. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:12, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

To explain further

Pacific Coach Lines operates "Whistler Skylynx" until 11th December 2018- Their website is https://www.pacificcoach.com/bus-vancouver-to-whistler/yvr-whistler-skylynx/

"YVR Skylynx" is the new operator and we have won this contract from Vancouver Airport for six years from 12th December- Our website which we have just set up in the last month is https://www.yvrskylynx.com/

We are not related in anyway. Please can you remove the reference that PCL operates "YVR Skylynx".

Thanks for your input,

Simon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonhill11 (talk • contribs) 08:23, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Simonhill11 Which article though? Right now the PCL site says they go to YVR/Whistler/Squamish. If you tell me the article it can be changed to read that as of 12 December the service will be operated by Skylynx. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:31, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey Cambridge,

Reference article is http://www.yvr.ca/en/passengers/transportation/long-distance-scheduled-buses/whistler

This makes clear the differences between the operators switching over.

Hope this makes sense!

Many thanks,

Simon

Simonhill11. You mean like this? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Request for Kerblam!

Could you or another admin go into the revision history of the respective article, and cross out several IP edits that were made, which had been done as an attack on an editor? The page has recently received semi-protection, and I just want to cross out any history parts regarding the IP's vandalising edits. Thanks. GUtt01 (talk) 09:10, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

GUtt01 Thanks. I think I got all of them. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 09:33, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hospitals

Please note that the hospitals project has got its naming conventions wrong. Except for Canada, we use comma disambiguation for most Commonwealth locations, not parentheses. No reason to make an exception for hospitals. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:03, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
