Hello Materialspsych,

There is line on the page of "https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Salil_Gewali" written as "In June 2018, a short documentary on Great Minds on India was released by a Mumbai-based media house - Manthanhub"

I wanted to insert the link of ManthanHub website to mentioned authority "ManthanHub" - https://manthanhub.com/ which is relevant for this information.

But this link was removed from your side. Kindly do needful and revert. Radheshyam More (talk) 07:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

(by talk reader) @Radheshyam More: The link was removed because within our article text we don't include links to other websites per WP:ELNO. In fact, some might suspect such links of being spam links to increase traffic to the external site or boost SEO ratings. I would also encourage you to avoid using the phrase "Kindly do needful" as it is increasingly unwelcome. Chris Troutman (talk) 13:36, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Block and Unexplained Revert

Hello Materialscientist, this is regarding your revert and block of my IP. I'm sorry that you considered my edits to be vandalism. A user other than me converted the redirect to a short article without sources. I reworked the article with a couple of sources in good faith in the intention of creating a short stub; specifically adding Template:Sources exist that it might be saved, and it did feel like Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers on the receiving end. I have created Talk:Zammis Clark, I welcome your input. 2A00:23C4:41A:9601:D5E0:2228:EE57:4951 (talk) 07:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Help

Hi User:Materialscientist I need help with explaining this user User:Bijzindia as he keeps rv every edit in Bigg Boss (Malayalam season 5). I made some edits as there was issues with the page.

Firstly as Bigg Boss comes under Big Brother franchise the format and structure of tables should be consistent right. The user insists on adding entering days of wild cards in the nominations of that particular housemate. But we don’t use that in any version of Bigg Boss and Big Brother. I even discussed this in a polite way on his talk page with proof of how tables wild cards should be CHECK HERE User talk:Bijzindia#Regarding bigg boss 5. Second in many big brother tables we don’t add Hosptilised if thr contestant as walked its normally Walked as you can see in Celebrity Big Brother (British series 22)#Housemates and Big Brother (British series 18)#Nominations table

I don’t know how more I can tolerate his appalling behaviour 2A02:6B68:10:4E00:E0BB:4277:2C88:5CA4 (talk) 16:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, but you blocked the IP for vandalism. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 21:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

I unblocked. I have a lot of respect—pretty much the maximum amount—for you and 331dot, who extended the block due to incivility. I considered very carefully, and I felt an unblock was needed soon. Happy to talk it through more, bring it up for wider review, or just drop it.

Can you tell this is my first contentious unblock? I'm nervous. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:01, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

My block was in error, and I would have lifted it immediately if I noticed, or if someone poked me. I don't know what happened after the block, frustration from the IP was possible. Materialscientist (talk) 22:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Requesting to unprotect an article

Hi @Materialscientist I noticed that Bahari Ibaadat article has been protected by you for repeatedly recreating since it was deleted. I am not sure who repeatedly created the article that violated the guidelines. I am kindly requesting your help to unprotect the title so that I can work on the article to make it as per Wikipedia guidelines. ahmadi.afg (talk) 04:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Materialscientist,

Faridahmadi.itp came to ask me to reduce create protection on this page title but since you set the last level of protection, I directed them here to discuss it with you or suggested that they could try making a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. But mostly, I suggested that they work on a draft version and submit it to AFC for review and, hopefuly, approval. To be honest, I don't recall the circumstances about this article on Bahari Ibaadat or what block-evading sockpuppets were trying to create the article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:51, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely, I'd ask them to write a draft in a personal or draft space before unprotecting the page. Materialscientist (talk) 05:13, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:ET007-10.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:ET007-10.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Italy 2.45.126.120

Unfortunately we have a problem. They have been at this for over 6 months doing number vandalism from many different IPs, some IP4 others IP6, all from Italy, usually changing the heights of things, buildings, mountains etc.. thousands of edits. Blocking does nothing, in fact might be a bad idea as at least we can track them. After a block they shift to a different unknown IP. I've been tracking and reverting 2.44.145.152 for a while. Sadly, I let about a dozen edits sit for a few weeks and nobody reverted them, they were overlooked by the community.

The range of IPs is in the millions, see here (click "Show more.." at bottom). The scale makes tracking impossible, much less blocking. I'm really at a loss what to do because they are causing a lot of hidden damage. -- GreenC 14:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Hotwiki's aggressive behavior

Hi. I would like to consult something about this editor's behavior towards others. This has been going on for several years and a lot of ANI discussions were raised against this user but he only gets "a slap on the wrist" for his aggressive behavior.

Just recently, I got a run-in again with Hotwiki at the Saksi article, restoring texts that he removed because in his opinion, it was "unreferenced". After restoring them, he removed it again and justifying that the information where Mike Enriquez and Vicky Morales were transferred was "trivial", while adding italics on program titles. I restored my edits since there was an agreement before in the last ANI I raised against him that any changes in this article should be discussed in the talk page. Well, you can read the rest of our heated argument at the Saksi talk page and at one point tried to provoke me to revert his edits and be blocked again.

I'm speaking on behalf of other Filipino Wikipedians who have good intentions in editing the articles Hotwiki is trying to gatekeep for several years. If you notice, most of the articles that he gatekeeps have very little or missing information about them. He cuts and removes most of other editor's contributions and dismiss them as "trivial". Checking the Saksi, 24 Oras or Unang Hirit articles alone shows that if you read those articles, you will sense that some information is missing. Not to mention the his behavior in the past when he replaced most of the GMA Network's image title cards and replacing it with the same image that he uploaded.

I have confronted this user several times, and it seems he's just being hard-headed and won't agree on any consensus. What's "right" in his opinion must be followed and the hell other editors' contributions.

What should I do with this? If another ANI will be raised against him, other administrators that have no background or knowledge on his past behavior will just dismiss these accusations and sometimes, the one that is reporting is being gaslit. -WayKurat (talk) 07:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

I also need to inform that WayKurat personally attacked me yesterday.[3] From my observation, WayKurat is personally holding a grudge over that article, and him being blocked last September 2023[4], when I reported him to 3RR. Ever since that happened, I've only ever interacted with him directly once which was yesterday. Hotwiki (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Also, please take a look at this link, for more discussion regarding this issue.[5] Hotwiki (talk) 10:28, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Please note that Hotwiki started the personal attacks and did WP:POKE by posting this. -WayKurat (talk) 10:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

About article "The Dancing Clown"

This article's only two sources are unverifiable print sources that may or may not contain the information they are said to contain. Creator and primary editor of this article attempted to create numerous hoax articles in the past and add false information to articles. I could find absolutely nothing about this movie when I did an Internet search. Based on all this, I am led to believe that this article is a hoax and that this film is nonexistent. If this is indeed the case, I recommend having the user blocked to prevent further disruption. I attempted to alert a user to this months ago, but nothing happened after all that time.

Just a heads up

Hello Materialscientist, a while ago you reverted someone who used Summit Racing, saying it was an unreliable source. From my knowledge, it can be considered a reliable source for automotive manufacturing and drag racing/other associated sports. I do not wish for you to take any action, just for you to be cognizant in the future about this. A related website, OnAllCylinders, is a blog published by Summit Racing, and I believe whilst not an official opinion of Summit Racing is still authoritative in the sphere of motor racing, hot rodding and aftermarket support for engines.

I need help with my article

Hi fellow scientist! @Materialscientist

I found your site and as a newbie to Wikipedia editing it's super impressive what you've already done here!

For my first article, I thought it would be easiest to take an existing article in my native language (German), translate it, and add additional information. I wrote about Nanoscribe which is part of the BICO group. As a materials scientist you might have heard of them, they make 3D laser microprinters. I made some mistakes at the beginning and didn't realize some problems with citations. But I think I have that pretty well fixed now. I submitted it for review and I've been waiting for several weeks for someone to review it. Could you help me with this? As a newbie, if there are still problems with the article, I would be happy to get your tips :)

Gas carbon

Hey Materialscientist,

I wanted to ask your opinion of this, because it's more in your field of expertise. I ran across the article gas carbon some months ago. I was interested because I'd never heard of carbon in a gaseous form before. Upon reading it, however, I'm almost certain what it's describing is coke (fuel), using a very uncommon name. Only one of the three sources actually works, and it's questionable at best. I did some checking through google and google books going back to the 1800s, and found no uses of the name "gas carbon" except for a few websites that appear to have gotten their info from Wikipedia. I started a discussion on the talk page, but got no replies.

My first thought is that it should be merged with the coke article, but that article already covers everything in the gas-carbon article in far more detail. Since the term "gas carbon" doesn't seem to have ever been used historically, I'm thinking now that maybe it would be better to simply delete the article, since the title implies a gaseous form of carbon. This confusion seems to be reflected in these redirect discussions: here and here. But I'm not sure what would be the best solution, so I wanted to ask for your expert opinion on the matter.

If you have some time, could you please take a quick peek? Thanks. Zaereth (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

110.145.223.234 block

Hi Materialscientist, I tried to edit a page on Hunted Australia (I think) on the ip 110.145.223.234 last year August, apparently I now have a two year block from editing Wikipedia (ends in August 2025). I didn't vandalise the page and I don't know why you blocked me. Please clarify Thanks Trainandbus123 (talk) 01:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@Trainandbus123 I'm not Materialscientist (nor an admin), but I can tell you what's probably happened. IP addresses are sometimes used simultaneously by multiple users. If that IP address gets a block, it will affect not just the editor that needed to be blocked, but also all the other users on that network. I typed the User:110.145.223.234 address into my Wikipedia search bar, and it looks like the block is set to affect logged-out (i.e. anonymous) users only, so I wouldn't worry about it, especially since you have an account. Just log into that and you can continue editing as normal! :) In fact, you should stay logged in and not make some edits logged-out unless you have a good reason to, according to Wikipedia's multiple accounts policy.

By the way, in the case that the block on your IP address prevents you from being able to edit from your account also, you can get around this by requesting IP block exemption! :) — AP 499D25 (talk) 08:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Moved here - not much info there, but templated backbone will save time in expanding the article. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 09:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I will just request speedy delete if I choose to not expand further. Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Stonestoneeee

They have pinged me to ask about the checkuser block on their account. You might want to respond to their query at their talk page. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 06:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

See Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Stonestoneeee, the connecting evidence is relatively strong, so AGF is questionable in this case. Materialscientist (talk) 13:43, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

sid meier's civilization V

according to https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/City-state_(Civ5) must be KIEV instead of «kvyv» 178.176.88.87 (talk) 11:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Fandom is not a reliable source. See WP:RS. --Yamla (talk) 11:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

i know it's not a reliable source, but what «reliable source» you needed? There is not a single word about «city states» on official site, only advertisemens of new game on franchise, i find Reddit about how to rename vanilla name of Kiev https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/ysncwp/civ_v_any_way_to_change_city_state_kiev_to_kyiv/

i play this game more than 10 years straight and know what i talking about, and you play this game at least once? sincerely 178.176.88.87 (talk) 11:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Revert

Just dropping by to tell you that I reverted your revert on Greco-Iberian alphabet because I don't think it was vandalism, the user just added a caption to a picture listing the letters depicted. Have a good day, — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 13:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Who said vandalism? It was just redundant. Materialscientist (talk) 13:31, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, fair enough, I maybe was the one too quick to revert. Sorry! — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 13:35, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Outdated info on userpage

Your userpage says "As of 2014, most of my free time is taken by emergency matters like vandalism, though I still write short articles during calm hours."

Can you make that info up to date? 24.115.255.37 (talk) 19:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Question about reliable sources

1. Mike runs a news site that Wikipedia considers a reliable source. If Mike publishes an article to his site, and then cites said article in Wikipedia, does that violate WP:OR?

2. John is a person who is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Can John edit his own article to add information about himself with no sources to back it up? And would something written by John himself be a valid source for that article? 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

A user you've blocked

Hello Materialscientist. A user that you’ve blocked twice has been disrupting and POV pushing in several Armenia-Azerbaijan articles.

I’ve noticed user's edit in Second NK War [6], where they’ve added WP:REDFLAG claim in infobox that’s not supported by independent reliable sources and isn’t even mentioned in the article. I then noticed their edits in two other articles; here they change the numbers from reliable sources to ridiculous “45-135-145” soldiers killed by one from the opposing army, all the sources are partisan unknown websites, the claim is obviously WP:REDFLAG, and the reliable sources that are in the article (Radio Free Europe, Eurasianet) don’t support anything close to what Ao192 is claiming. Then Ao192 goes to that one soldier’s wiki article that allegedly killed “45-135-142” from the opposing army, and here he does the same WP:REDFLAG changes and removes the two reliable sources from the article [7], [8]. Btw the WP:RS Eurasianet article that Ao192 removed says “Four Armenian soldiers also died in the firefight. The Azerbaijani government has attributed the deaths of four Armenian soldiers to Ibrahimov…", but Ao192 attributes the 4 killed to “Armenian government”, and his ridiculous WP:REDFLAG numbers he attributes to “numerous sources” [9]. Awful POV pushing on so many levels.

I warned user of contentious topics, reverted the WP:REDFLAG poorly sourced claims, and restored the WP:RS. But that didn't stop Ao192 [10]. I’ve looked at the articles' history as well and, not surprisingly, it’s not the first time of red flag POV push from Ao192 [11], [12]. They even tried to remove the WP:RS similarly to how they did now and insert the WP:REDFLAG, [13].

Given the continued heavy POV pushing even after being blocked, I believe Ao192 is in the WP:NOTHERE territory. As the blocking admin, could you take a look? Thank you. Vanezi (talk) 07:55, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Since this comment, the user reverted and restored red flag claims again [14]. Still no independent WP:RS confirming the inflated death toll claims supposedly at the hands of a single soldier. Ao192 says in their summary “"4 armenians kia" its just the claims of armenia” when WP:RS affirms it as I quoted above. And Ao192 also states “putin said in a speech mubariz killed 135” as if that overturns the WP:RS in the article, but even then if you look at the source for this supposed Putin claim, it’s an unknown poor web-page screenshot in Azeri which just shows yet again the quality of “sources” Ao192 repeatedly edit-wars and restores in an obvious violation of WP:REDFLAG and completely ignoring the contentious material/article they're editing.

Ao192 also personally attacked me and my nationality which they assumed; “this ibrahimov guy clearly pisses you off considering you are from Armenia” [15]. Vanezi (talk) 09:41, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Is there is a reason my concerns are being left unanswered? I’m just asking to review them because the situation is becoming increasingly troubling, and given your familiarity with this user (as you've blocked them twice), I believed it would be most appropriate for you to review their recent activity. Unfortunately after my last comment above and them personally attacking me and reinstating their subpar partisan WP:REDFLAG in 2010 Mardakert clashes that’s not supported by any of the article’s cited WP:RS, they’ve done the same in here too, again, and also entirely removed the two WP:RS from the article (Eurasianet, RFE/RL) like they did previously.

I don’t want to just revert the user further because they ignore all the specific rules I pointed out, the warnings, and just edit-war restoring their red flag partisan claims while removing WP:RS figures from the article or the WP:RS as a whole entirely. I’d much rather an admin review this case, especially an admin familiar with the user like yourself. I kindly ask that you at least acknowledge my comments. With respect, Vanezi (talk) 11:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Vanezi Astghik: MaterialScientist hasn't edited in a couple of days... That scould be why they haven't replied. :D - UtherSRG (talk) 12:56, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@UtherSRG appreciate your comment, but that's not the case anymore. And I'm still unsure why my concerns have been left unanswered. As I said, I won't be reverting the user because that proved to be futile, but I would be grateful for an admin to take a look at the problematic behavior/edits I have outlined above. Vanezi (talk) 18:16, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Maybe instead of posting on only one admin's talk page, you would get more attention going to WP:AN. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Another User You Blocked

Why is 82.8.252.173 indeffed? From what I can see they only had 1 bad edit (and frankly also 1 good edit). Both were months before the block. They trigged an edit filter (only) twice (closely) before the block and was only given 1 warning. Anyways, for some reason you indeffed them? They have no previous blocks. What's going on? Another mistake like [16]? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 11:23, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

A glitch I guess, unblocked, thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 12:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Do you mind checking [17] for any similar glitches as this is like the 3rd one I've found today. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 12:04, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Is a block warning message like this below Ok for non Admins?

See: User talk:HahaNormal#June 2024 from User:Remsense. Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 15:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Ooligan Of course. Just install Twinkle and use it to warn users when they are disruptive on Wikipedia. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 15:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt reply. thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 15:31, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the America Ferrera page was recently semi-protected indefinitely but the prior PC settings were not reset. Would you please take care of this? Thanks. Roesgo (talk) 01:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

CU request?

Hey Materialscientist, good to see you back after that two-week break! I like your low-tolerance approach when it comes to countering vandalism. Can't think of any other admins who regularly use Huggle to place blocks like you do.

So regarding that User:Paul is describing account you blocked for 31-hrs. You might want to do a checkuser run on it – see what I and another editor wrote at the SPI. Basically there seems to be a lot of coordinated and sequential editing going on between it and the (already blocked) 'User:Master of all cinemalovers' account.

Thanks!

Kind regards, — AP 499D25 (talk) 13:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Replying to your urgent message.

I can't tell what's worse in the long run — actual vandalism (which can be resolved in human time) or narcissists with bots (which can't).

(ref. Information icon Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to The Blacklist season 1—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.
